Employee Vacations During COVID-19
Employers are facing challenges dealing with employee vacations this summer, especially when they travel to hotspots. Here is my July newsletter with some tips about the legal issues in dealing with employee travel. https://mcusercontent.com/18a8da92bbecc676aa1cd10f1/files/3f8f9107-84ba-49a7-aa3b-0ef7c260eb99/Pomeroy_Law_PC_July_2020_Newsletter.pdf.
Please note that my July newsletter was published before the Massachusetts' order restricting travel to and from the Commonwealth effective August 1st. All employers should review this order if you have a Massachusetts business or a workforce that may be impacted by Governor Baker's order. A copy of the order may be found here: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/covid-19-travel-order

'That is no country for old men....Caught in that sensual music all neglect Monuments of unageing intellect.' W.B.Yeats 'Sailing To Byzantium.' 1926
Sunday, 27 March 2011
Britain is a country where old men can get a 'Woteva' app from Saga so they can beher unnerstan wot da kidz a sain
An article in 'The Daily Mail' yesterday was entitled :
'Good news peeps, there's an app to translate da kidz' slang'
For those older peeps in the fam who want to know what da kidz in their endz are thinking, a sick new app may just hold the key, innit.
Apparently, in an effort to narrow the generation gap, the over-50's Group, 'Saga', is to launch a mobile phone application to translate teenagers' slang. The 'Woteva' 'app' will :
* be available by the end of Summer and translate 100 words or phrases.
* help parents and grandparents to 'stay in touch with youngsters' and will be free to download to a smart phone, or similar hand-held device.
* make the following translations :
Dr Ros Altmann, Director-General of Saga, said:
* "To some parents and grandparents, it can feel that the next generation has a language of its own. A translator seems like the obvious solution to prevent the generational gap from widening".
* "This app will provide people with the opportunity to stay connected with youngsters, and nurture relationships across generations".
* "In our estimation around 5% of all words currently in use in the English language are completely alien and indecipherable to people born before the 1960s."
The article elicited the following e-mails from :
Becki in Wigan :
'LOL. I'm 20 and didn't have a clue what most of them words meant. Also, how many of the older generation use a smart phone in the first place?!'
Craig in East Calder :
'omg, i wsh ppl wd stp usn txt spk, fgs'.
Charles in London :
'I have an even simpler method.....I reply..."sorry....I only speak English". That usually does the job pretty well'.
P.S. I begin to wonder if 'April Fool' jokes have come early this yar.

5 must experience inner city Calgary hikes
Written for Daily Hive by David Morales
Hiking in Alberta is amazing thanks to our big beautiful back yard the Rocky Mountains. However, that being said, are you aware that there are some equally wonderful hiking adventures you can do directly inside Calgary?
Enjoy the perfect getaway without having to leave town. Grab your hiking boots, and make it out to one of these five beautiful Calgary inner city hikes.
Nose Hill Park
Created in 1980, the park rests on the north side of the Bow River. Nose Hill is an example of a grassy plains environment that existed before settlers began to reside in the area, and transform the landscape. Therefore, the area is full of different types of wildlife, plants, and mushrooms. There are many different paths you can take, and really enjoy the hiking environment, and sensation with out leaving the city.
The Weaselhead Flats
Bordering on the West end of the Glenmore Reservoir, the Weaselhead Flats covers 237 hectares of land. Being on the reservoir allows the Weaselhead to have an extensive network of bike, and hiking paths. The park was created in 1980, and origin of the name is uncertain. However, the landscape is beautiful, and walking around the Weaselhead makes it feel like you escaped the city even if it's only for a few hours. There are a lot of really nice spots to go skip rocks on the river, and even the opportunity to pop into Glenmore Landing after your hike for a coffee.
Fish Creek Park
Located in the south end of the city, Fish Creek Park was purchased by the provincial government in 1972. The park was then restored and open to the public in 1975. Surrounded by a beautiful natural environment, there are lots of activities to participate in at the park. They include biking, bird watching, boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, and wildlife watching. With so many wonderful activities, spending time at Fish Creek Park is the perfect place to spend some one on one time with nature.
Bowness Park
You'll find Bowness park in the northwest end of Calgary. It has many features to offer the avid outdoorsman. and covers 30 hectares of land. Bowness park was founded after the First World War and a quick drive to the northwest allows you to immerse yourself into a beautiful natural environment filled with hiking paths, and cross-country skiing in the winter. Bowness Park has many amenities such as playgrounds, shelters, and washrooms. In the winter the park offers phenomenal ice-skating as well.
Edworthy Park
Located in the southwest end of Calgary along the Bow River, Edworthy Park was founded in 1962 and covers 169 hectares of land. There are lots of pathways, and areas for hiking along the river. Edworthy Park additionally offers picnic areas, washrooms, and benches. On top of trails, there is also an extensive network of fields to play sports like soccer, and frisbee on.

( ENSPIRE She Did That ) Vanessa Bryant Showcased Strength, Dignity, and Empowerment As She Delivered Kobe and Gianna Bryant's Eulogy
On Monday, the world got to celebrate the lives of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna in a celebration of life at Staples Center, but for Vanessa Bryant, one can only imagine the nightmare that has come reality. While the world wondered if Vanessa was going to attend the ceremony, Vanessa had to prepare herself and keep it together. After an opening performance by Beyonce', Vanessa took the stage and talked about her family and how Gianna's personality was.
"I miss her sweet kisses, her cleverness, her sarcasm, her wit, and that adorable sly side smile followed with a grin and burst of laughter," Vanessa said. "Gigi was sunshine. She brightened up my day every day. I miss looking at her beautiful face. She was always so good, a rule follower. I knew I could always count on her to do the right thing." We love you so much, Gigi. I will miss your sweet handmade cards, your sweet kisses, and your gorgeous smile. I miss you, all of you, every day. I love you."
After her eulogy about her daughter, she talked about Kobe and what he meant to her. "He was mine. He was my everything," she said of the late Lakers legend. "Kobe and I had been together since I was 17.5 years old. I was his first girlfriend, his first love, his wife, his best friend, his confidante and his protector. He was the most amazing husband. Kobe loved me more than I could ever express or put into words."
"He was the early bird and I was the night owl. I was fire and he was ice, and vice versa at times," she continued. "We balanced each other out. He would do anything for me. I have no idea how I deserved a man that loved and wanted me more than Kobe. He was charismatic, a gentleman. He was loving, adoring and romantic. He was truly the romantic one in our relationship."
Vanessa's strength was recognized all around the world in admiration as she is grieving her husband and child, who died with seven others in a helicopter crash on January 26.

Though there's nothing wrong with a plain white ceiling, you might be looking for a bit more in your living room. We've come to you today with eleven unique ideas for your living room ceiling. Who says that creativity can't be from the floors all the way to the ceilings when it comes to design? The only disadvantage we can think of is cost.
Doing something a bit extra is likely to cost a bit extra, but it should be worth it to you in the long run. So let's take a look at these awesome ideas!
1. Install A Contemporary Coffered Grid Ceiling
A coffered ceiling offers some interesting depth and interest. Here, modern coffers in sleek black showcase the slim-lined lighting. The color works great with the richly toned floors. Adding a coffer is something that can be done in an existing home. Keep in mind that if your ceilings are low, adding a coffer will make them seem even lower, so this probably isn't a great choice unless your ceilings are above eight feet tall.
2. Integrate A Chandelier Into The Ceiling
If you want something really dramatic, you might try something like this. Here a circular pedestal has been dropped from the ceiling with up glowing lights placed around the circle's diameter. This creates a bit of drama and mood in the room's lighting. Then, more traditional pendant fixtures are hung like an actual chandelier from the stepped-down portion of the circle. It's a gorgeous and unique look.
3. Use Beams To Highlight Interesting Peaks In The Ceiling Line
In this fresh and clean-lined ceiling, natural wood beams highlight the interesting peak of the ceiling. Each beam is run along a natural axis to reach the central apex of the ceiling. From there, a clean-lined white ceiling fan hangs from a dropped pole to provide light and cooling to the space.
4. Concrete Ceilings Maximize A Loft Feeling
In this beautiful contemporary loft, the concrete ceiling really stands out. Concrete blocks fill out the channels left by the building's original concrete beams. The colors are slightly different, but this adds interesting texture. Beautiful lights in black really work well to block out sections of the room. A chandelier for the seating area and pendant lights for the kitchen area. It's gorgeous!
5. Painted Beams And Red Brick
If you live in a historic building, maybe you want to use some of those elements. Here, an antique red brick ceiling creates a one-of-a-kind look. There are slight curves and undulations to the brick that give the room an antique vibe. Wooden beams that cross the brick are painted black to match the leather sofa used in the room.
6. Use Lighting Around The Edges Of A Tray Ceiling
Tray ceilings were pretty popular in the eighties. One way to bring this look up-to-date is to add subtle lighting at the edge of the tray. This provides beautiful soft light and looks really elegant. It also brings a modern vibe to the room.
7. Use Narrow Wood Strips On The Ceiling
If you love a farmhouse or rustic vibe, consider this look. Narrow wooden strips stained an oak color line the ceiling of this room. This would be a relatively easy way to makeover an existing space that needs a bit of pizazz. We particularly love how the family table matches the wood tone. And how can we not mention that super cool industrial lighting fixture!
This similar rustic light can give you the same vibe as the one pictured in the wood ceiling room above. Click here for this on Amazon.
See our post here: "11 Awesome Rustic Ceiling Lighting Ideas."
8. Consider Painting Your Ceiling The Same Color As Your Walls
If you want a super easy fix to make your ceiling unique, paint it something other than white. In this turquoise room, the walls and the ceiling flow together in the same color combination. This works really beautifully in spaces with tall walls and lots of natural light. In a shorter ceiling room, this might make things a bit too dark for your liking.
9. Tin Ceiling Tiles
If you love the look of tin ceiling tiles in vintage homes, why not replicate them in your home? These ceiling tiles are still being produced. You can buy tin ones, but there are also ones in foam that look just like tin once painted. The metal ones are more expensive than the foam, of course.
These foam ceiling tiles come in a pack of 96 tiles and are a very inexpensive way to give your living room ceiling a vintage look. Click here for these on Amazon.
And here are new tin tiles made to look like the tin tiles of yore. These come in a 5-pack, ready to be painted or put up as they are. Click here for these on Amazon.
10. Expose Your Trusses
In this open concept living room, building trusses are left exposed. This unique feature turns a regular room into something showstopping. The trusses have been stained and finished to look like fine furniture. If you notice, they did a great job matching the trusses to the cabinetry in the room's kitchen area. Because the ceilings are so tall, it doesn't look heavy at all.
11. Leave Architectural Details Exposed
In this loft apartment space, the ceiling is made of lath. Rather than tearing it down and putting up sheetrock, the homeowner preserved the look. To keep it clean and tied in with the rest of the room, they gave the old wood a good coat of white paint. It works really well with the exposed red brick wall and all of the beautiful neutral furniture pieces.
A Ceiling Can Be More Than White
As you can see, there are a bunch of really great options for changing up your ceiling. Some can even be done to retrofit an existing ceiling. Some, like strips of wood, paint, or foam tin squares, can easily be done by a good DIY homeowner. Any of these choices will take your living room ceiling from bland to ba-bam!

Solar Choice has brokered optimal value on a 65 kilowatt (kW) solar system for Coastal Cold Storage in Geelong. Coastal Cold Storage is a family-owned company that has been specialising in the receival, storage and dispatch of frozen products from within Australia and overseas for over two decades.
The owner of the company approached Solar Choice in early 2017 to learn more about how they could reduce their monthly electricity bills through solar. Coastal Cold Storage had been running many of their compressors on cheaper, overnight 'off peak' electricity rates to reduce their costs, but were interested in shifting some of that to the daylight hours if installing solar could help them do so cost-effectively.
65kW solar array for Coastal Cold Storage in Geelong, VIC.
The client promptly sent Solar Choice some recent electricity bills, which our in-house engineering team used to conduct analysis & compile an indicative business case for the company. Based on this analysis, Solar Choice recommended a system size of 65kW as the optimal size for the company's electricity needs.
The business case presented to the client showcased the most conservative scenario, with electricity rates remaining unchanged for the years going forward; in reality, the client had recently been advised that their rates were set to increase, which made the case for going solar even more attractive.
Coastal Cold Storage had already been in touch with a number of solar companies outside the Solar Choice network, but these companies had suggested larger systems without comprehensive background analysis.
Solar Choice also provided Coastal Cold Storage with an indicative product, price & warranty comparison from several leading commercial installers in our network. Ultimately, the client decided to proceed with one of the companies that Solar Choice had introduced them to because of their attention to detail and professionalism.
The total size installed was 65.40kW using 218x 300W Trina panels and 2x 30kW Delta inverters.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — While Louisiana has bolstered services to human trafficking victims, the state could do much more to improve educational outreach and assist those forced into sex acts or labor, a new state audit says.
Legislative Auditor Daryl Purpera's office said Louisiana doesn't coordinate the aid offered to most trafficking victims or do enough to track its effectiveness. The state provides too few mental health beds for victims and doesn't have a consistent state financing source for anti-tracking activities, relying heavily on federal grants, the office's report said.
The Legislature created a dedicated fund to combat trafficking in June 2013, which is supposed to collect fines assessed on people convicted of child trafficking crimes. But the audit said no dollars have been deposited into it.
Auditors recommended a statewide public awareness campaign about how to recognize and report human trafficking — and more targeted training to help identify victims of labor trafficking, not just forced prostitution.
Purpera's office said it decided to review Louisiana's work to fight trafficking, looking at best practices, after state statistics showed the number of victims receiving services steadily increasing from 206 people in 2014 to 744 people four years later. More than half of those victims in 2018 were children.
Gov. John Bel Edwards has increased Louisiana's attention on human trafficking in recent years, creating a statewide Human Trafficking Prevention Commission in the governor's office and holding anti-trafficking summits statewide to identify gaps in services.
Lawmakers passed a measure last year that requires coordination across several state agencies to develop a service delivery plan for trafficking victims, with a report on the work due later this year.
But the legislative auditor suggested that lawmakers could increase their efforts, designating an agency as the lead on tracking adult victims of human trafficking and child victims who aren't already in state custody.
Louisiana also should develop resource guides and service provider registries, to help victims of forced labor or forced sex acts to locate assistance, the report says.
A state law that requires child assault awareness training in schools doesn't identify any agency or entity that is responsible for making sure the schools comply, according to the audit.

This study tried to verify the influence how the brand images and brand trusts affect on the service quality and the repurchase intentions. Should you have virtually any concerns relating to in which and also the way to employ 메이저놀이터, it is possible to contact us on our webpage. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Maybe you could space it out better? Success often lies in not could play recreation of poker, but What your play. The genuine money slots are not at all dangerous. The purpose of this study is to compare story-centric advertising and factual information-centric advertising effect in advertising attitude, destination attitude, visiting intention and wold-of-mouth intention to Chinese. In specific, this study examines relationships among medical care support service, satisfaction, continuous use, and intention of words-of-mouth (WOM). 24-hour consumer support. Play Amo accept BTC, BCH, ETH, DOGE as well as LTE, however their terms specify that bonus offers are not available for such players. Hollywood challenge the eight remaining bakers to cook and build a tower of biscuits at least 30cm high in four hours, something that would challenge both their culinary and architectural skills.

Cllr Barney Fitzpatrick said: "Three years ago it was obvious that most of our local Councillors were unaware of the great potential that the proper provision and management of motorhomes could bring to our economy. Instead there was, and I think still is, a knee jerk reaction to the inevitable chaos that results when there has been no attempt to manage the situation for the benefit of the community and motorcaravaners.
"For some years now the popularity of the traditional caravan has been overtaken by the motorhome. This trend was obvious in continental Europe , before appearing here. We should therefore look in that direction to learn how to manage them properly.
In Europe motorhomes are recognised and treated as major players in the tourist industry. Yes, there are identified areas where motorhomes are not allowed to park, but equally there are always designated areas where they can. For example, the 'Aire de Service' in France are parking locations where visiting motorhomes can have access to the basic services they require such as electricity, fresh water, waste water and toilet disposal facilities, not to mention information about the local area including restaurants, shops and places of interest.
"Many are provided by and located beside commercial caravan and camping sites. These facilities are unmanned and provided at a nominal charge, payable into a slot on the pillar that supplies them. These 'Aires' usually provide the opportunity for the motorhome and its passengers to remain for a specified number of nights. Our European neighbours have recognised that if managed properly, motorhomes bring substantial economic benefits into their tourist areas.
"There is now an increasing number of motorhomes from Europe arriving in the UK and Ireland , carrying with them expectations of an infrastructure similar to that which they are accustomed to at home. Then when they arrive they find an almost total lack of provision and little or no information for them.
"It should be remembered that most of those visiting Northern Ireland do so as part of a tour of the whole country, so even if they stay for weeks it is seldom based in one location. They will stop where their information indicates that there are quality facilities. Alas, these are not to be found on the Causeway Coast let alone around this island. I hate to think what our much sought after European visitors will report back on their return home – it may unfortunately not be a message that is likely to encourage others to visit Northern Ireland.
"I raised these issues, and the need to initiate a plan of action to address them, some three years ago with Council officers, but despite being reassured that action would be taken, nothing much seems to have changed on the ground. We are still meeting to rehash the problems.
"It is time for urgent action and joined up government to address this issue. It will require the Department of the Environment, The Northern Ireland Tourist Board and our local councils to co-operate to ensure that this issue is addressed and managed properly before it is too late.
"We need to attract more tourists to boost our economy and we can only attract more if we have the right services available."

Lubrication & Lubricants
12 & 14 January 2021
Online via MS Teams
This seminar will give a general introduction to lubrication followed by talks on specific types of lubricants such as oils, greases and dry lubricants.
Lubrication is an important part of machine maintenance, such that lubricating oil alone can increase the life of a combustion engine from a few seconds to more than 5,000 hours. This is possible even though the oil film is sometimes less than one micron thick. In general, only few sliding contacts can run without lubrication due to high friction and wear.
Lubricant quality, however, often deteriorates over time. Condition monitoring is, therefore, in many cases crucial to ensure optimal production conditions. This raises another important question: How do we dispose of used lubricants? By burning or recycling? Recycling of traditional oil-based lubricants benefit from a lower carbon footprint and support a more sustainable circular economy.
But what if oils and greases are not suitable lubricants due to e.g. very high operating temperatures, operation in vacuum conditions or demands on cleanliness. In these cases dry lubricants or self-lubricating coatings may be part of the solution.
All these topics and more will be discussed as part of this seminar.
Target audience
The seminar is aimed at mechanical engineers, industrial and production technicians, tool makers, machine designers and constructors, etc.
12 January 2021
Lubrication basics
Ion Sivebæk, Associate Professor, DTU Mechanical Engineering & Research Scientist, Novo Nordisk
Lubrication is basically a viscosity pump. If there is no pressure build-up, the lubricant will be squeezed out very rapidly. In a roller bearing the viscosity pump creates a very high pressure: Up to several GPa (1 GPa is equivalent to 10000 atm.) This pressure is so high that the metal surfaces are deformed elastically. Therefore it is called elasto-hydrodyamic lubrication. At the same time the film thickness is very small, down to below one micron. The presentation will review various cases on lubrication and explain the calculations behind.Ion works 1/3 of his time as Associate Professor in NanoTribology at DTU Mechanical Engineering and 2/3 of his time as Research Scientist in Tribology at Novo Nordisk, Device R&D.
Maintaining ultra-thin oil lubrication films increases machine reliability
Steffen Dalsgaard Nyman, Corporate Trainer & Noria Partner, C.C. Jensen & CleanOilConsult
The lubrication oil film separating heavy loaded machine components is incredibly thin – often 1-3 micron, meaning below 3/1000 of a millimeter. Maintaining this oil film intact means life or death for the components, so machine reliability, efficiency and uptime depends heavily on this thin oil film. The presentation will focus on:
Fundamentals of synthetic lubricants
Jay Weikel, Engineering and Business Development Manager, Nye Lubricants
Fundamentals of Synthetic Lubricants will focus on synthetic grease technology and lubricant selection. Since the base oil is vital to the performance of greases, the major chemical families will be reviewed for their fundamental properties. There is a description of the fundamental lubrication related testing to make it easier to understand the data typically presented in technical bulletins. Other factors that influence grease performance will be reviewed and finally, we will review case studies to see how the proper lubrication solutions are selected.Jay Weikel has a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and a Master's Degree in Business. He has over 28 years of experience in Lubricants and their applications. He is a member of the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE) where he is a Certified Lubrication Specialist and a Certified Grease Lubrication Specialist from the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI).
|Closing remarks
14 January 2021
Why put lubricants in friction materials?
Nicholas Ishii-Dodson, R&D Manager, Roulunds Braking
An introduction to dry friction and its application for brakes will be followed by some information about production of the brake pads. A friction formulation can consist of up to 25 ingredients which interact in many ways and at varying conditions of speed, pressure, and temperature. The technical focus will include a review of the lubricants used and their roles within the formulations, thus providing the background for the use of the name "friction stabilizers".After studying Materials Science and Metallurgy, Nicholas started in the brake business by looking at transfer films on brake discs with the Scanning Electron Microscope in a university research programme. Following this he worked at TMD Friction in Research and Heavy Vehicle Brakes Development for 5 years in the early phase of air disc brake adoption, then as a friction and NVH specialist at Bosch in France, Japan and the USA. Currently he is Research and Development Manager at Roulunds Braking, a member of MAT Holdings Inc and is still fascinated by the endless possibilities of formulating friction materials.
DLC coatings for solid lubrication
Henrik Horup Reitz, Senior Consultant, Danish Technological Institute
PVD coatings from the self-lubricating DLC-family are becoming increasingly used for dry lubricating purposes, as well as a supplement for traditional liquid lubrication with oil and grease. Even water may often become a satisfying lubricant, if the "bearing" surfaces are manufactured with the right choice of material and combined with a suitable kind of DLC coating. A good example is the food and pharmaceutical industry, where some bearings and other moving parts are often "lubricated" by the product, followed by very intense cleaning procedures that remove the lubricating substances. In these cases, a DLC coating of one or both mating surfaces may often be a solution to avoid severe damage of the parts.Henrik Horup Reitz, MSc in mechanical enginering. Henrik has 30 years' experience in tribological topics such as wear and lubrication. Since 1991 he has been employed at the Tribology Centre at DTI, working in the field of applying PVD coatings as solutions for a wide area of tribological problems.
What can testing of lubricants tell you about their status?
Ann Fenech-Andersen, Lead Specialist, Materials & Processes, Danfoss A/S
Condition monitoring of lubricants is essential in order for production to run smoothly. However, it relies on correct interpretation of the results and proactive action. In this presentation the common tests used for testing of lubricants will be presented, with a focus on water-based metalworking fluids. This will be supported with real-life troubleshooting cases to show how test results can help decision-making to stop potentially expensive or even dangerous changes from being made.Ann Fenech-Andersen is a lead specialist at the Danfoss Technology Centre with a focus on lubricants, component cleanliness and surface treatments. Ann has a B.Sc (Hons) in Chemistry and Biology from the University of Malta and a PhD in materials science from University College London and is a member of the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE)
Used lube oil re-refining – an example of real life circular economy
Leon Sloth Skovbo, Managing Director, Avista Oil
Lubricants don't mean much to most people, yet the world as we know it wouldn't work without them. The vast majority of lubes is produced from crude oil as a by-product from fuel production. In contrast to fuels, lubricants can be re-refined and used again and again. This is what they do at Avista Oil. They collect used lubrication oil, re-refine it and sell it back into the market where lubricant blenders substitute virgin oils with re-refined base stocks. This cuts their carbon footprint significantly. This presentation will give insight into Avista oil's niche industry and give ideas as to what you can do to support their efforts in the circular economy.Leon Sloth Skovbo, BSc in business economics and MBA, has been with with AVISTA OIL Danmark A/S and now AVISTA Green for almost 11 years.

Ambitious climate goals, realistic solutions – Flokk are proud to join Skift, climate leaders in the Norwegian business community, and the driving force for Norway to reach its climate goals by 2030.
At Flokk we are always looking for opportunities to work towards and promote the circular economy, which is why we are happy to announce that we have joined Skift, a growing group of Norwegian top executives working together to reach a zero-emission society.
With the simple mandate to enact serious changes to reduce the threat of major climate change, Skift aims to take the lead and show the real business opportunities available for every company in the transition to zero-emission, focusing on a range of projects to inspire and encourage every business, no matter how big or small, to take this journey with us.
Speaking on joining Skift, Lars Ivar Røiri, CEO of Flokk says "We believe it is important to expose our own initiatives and ambitions and then inspire and influence others. In Skift, we see exactly that initiative, here we can share knowledge, inspire each other and stand together in the public exchange of words about what it takes to realize the green shift fast enough. As well as making it a competitive advantage."
Skift brings together the most climate-ambitious companies in Norway. This expertise helps to set ambitious yet realistic climate goals, offering a clear strategy that other companies can follow to contribute not only to green value creation but also to new jobs and a reduction in emissions.
Sustainability projects are pioneered in a wide range of industries, with the results freely shared, and resources made public for others to follow.
With Flokk having clearly established eco-criteria since 1993, Skift is the perfect opportunity for us to share our extensive knowledge and experience when it comes to sustainability goals and adopting circular design principles. This is especially true when it comes to using recycled materials, a particular focus for Flokk, with annual goals set for the amount of recycled plastic we use, and our latest products comprising of over 60% recycled materials.
"What gives the greatest and most immediate effect for a company like ours, is the use of as much recycled material as possible in production. It gives the lowest possible climate footprint and at the same time addresses the waste problem associated with plastic," says Christian Lodgaard, Senior Vice President of Flokk, continuing; "This is at the heart of what we do. Both figures will continue to rise, so the climate footprint will continue to fall."
Speaking about the inclusion of Flokk in Skift, Bjørn Kjærand Haugeland, CEO of Skift says; "We are very happy to have Flokk in the Shift Network. Flokk is Europe's leading specialist in furniture for the workplace and meeting place and is behind the production of the well-known Norwegian brand HÅG with which we all have a relationship. All products are designed and manufactured with a view to having a minimal impact on the environment, and at the same time having a long service life. Flokk is a production company that represents a new and important perspective into the Shift Network."

Every fan who has ever experienced it has "that moment"
etched in their minds. For the folks who loved the Brooklyn Dodgers, it was the
demolition of Ebbets Field by a wrecking ball that was painted to look like a
For fans of the Baltimore Colts, it was the Mayflower moving
vans tearing ass out of town under the cover of night.
The Raiders, understanding that you can actually unmake a
mistake, moved from Oakland to L.A. and then back to Oakland. The Cardinals
flew the coop from St. Louis and landed in Phoenix. (Shortly there after, they
were renamed the Arizona Cardinals, in order to diffuse the blame for this
horrific assemblage of misery. Hey, why should Phoenix alone have to suffer?)
For me, it was a cartoon on the cover of Sports Illustrated:
A caricature of Art Modell sucker punching a Cleveland Browns "dog pound" fan.
The article spoke of hope that the city could some way stop Modell from
squiring the Browns out of town. In the end, it couldn't. My team was gone. It
would never be the same again.
Basketball has been no exception to this, even if you
discount the ridiculous ABA days when teams seemed to move more often than most
people change socks.
The only reason there is jazz in Utah is because the Utah
Jazz were taken away from New Orleans. The same thing is true of the Los
Angeles Lakers, as they came from Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes and ended
up in the land of 10,000 flakes.
The list of "who-came-from-where-and-landed-over-there" is
endless. Some of this stuff is easy enough to understand: teams were losing
money or teams couldn't find local owners. The Brooklyn Dodger president,
Walter O'Malley, had an ongoing feud with New York "Don" Robert Moses as he
attempted to build a new stadium in Flatbush. When years of efforts had failed,
he took the advice most notably attributed to Horace Greeley: "Go West, young
What is a lot less easy to understand are the cities that
are pillaged who return and pillage others. In one of its few cock-block moves
in the last 112 years, the NBA vetoed the sale of the Sacramento Kings to an
investment group that would move the team to Seattle.The group was attempting
to replace the lost NBA team (the Supersonics/Sonics) that left when Clay
Bennett bought the team and moved it to Oklahoma City. Sacramento and its
mayor, former NBA star Kevin Johnson, were fighting to keep the team local and
pushing for the Maloof (if ever there was a perfect dumb-ass rich-guy name,
that's it) brothers to sell to a local group. Finally, after the NBA owners refused
to let them move, the Maloofs agreed in principle to sell the team locally.
Seattle rich guy Chris Hansen expressed disappointment in
the decision but swore he'd bring basketball back to Seattle. As much as this
probably makes the Seattle fans happy, it should worry the hell out of everyone
else. Any team that needs a free new arena, isn't getting 41 sellouts per
season or a fan base that's not pouring buckets of cash onto a sub .500 squad
will likely have Hansen circling like a beneficent buzzard.
And after he snakes it away from it's current home, the
carousel of "who's-going-where" will start all over again.
And that sucks.
Say what you want to about my Cleveland Browns, but at least
Cleveland didn't steal someone else's team to replace its own. We came by this
steaming pile of poor play honestly. The fans there knew how much it sucked to
have a team pulled out from under them, so they got on the expansion wagon and
got a team as part of a really bad deal.
Of all the places I thought my Browns would land, Baltimore
was the LAST place I would have imagined. The fans in Maryland had the image of
those damned moving vans etched into their brains as their team fled to
Indiana. The fact they would be OK with someone else doing this to someone else
on their behalf was mindboggling.
L.A. went from having two football teams to having none in a
matter of years. In the case of the Raiders, at least Oakland was taking back
what was once its own. The Rams? They fled to St. Louis, which had lost the
Cardinals to Phoenix.
The same is true of New Orleans, who got a kick in the balls
back in 1979. That year, the team not only moved to Mormonville, but kept the
city's moniker and colors. When the city smelled blood in the water, it grabbed
up the Hornets from Charlotte. (Of course, they had to take owner George Shinn
as well, so I guess the punishment might fit the crime.)
I now live in one of the last truly safe vestiges of team
sport: Wisconsin, where the Green Bay Packers are community owned. Of course,
after the NFL became big business, the owners grandfathered in this concept for
us and outlawed it from ever happening again. Still, somehow, we keep doing OK.
The facilities are nice, the team is good and people are happy, shocking as
that may be.
For the rest of the world, happiness is apparently only one
rich guy away, if he's willing to steal someone else's team for you.

The longstanding Mother's Day tradition of the Laumeier Art Fair will be online for a second year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Laumeier Sculpture Park announced to members and donors last week.
Once again, the online Art Fair will be held over Mother's Day weekend, from noon May 7 to noon May 10, online at laumeiersculpturepark.org/artfair.
The Art Fair in Sunset Hills usually attracts thousands to the St. Louis County park, but going online will "protect the health and safety of all," the park said on its website. The park is hoping to hold events later this year that will allow people to gather on a smaller scale.
The annual Art Fair is a crucial source of funds for Laumeier, typically raising between 10-15 percent of the park's annual operating budget. After a full year of lost income from the sculpture park's usual sources, the online 2021 Art Fair is key for raising funds, the park said.
"By shopping the Online Art Fair, you will also be supporting local, regional and national artists who have also had a tough year financially sustaining their practices," the park said. Seventy percent of sales will go directly to the artists, with 30 percent to Laumeier.

Stage Magazine gave Eddie in 2000 the Stage Magazine award, accompanied with the title"Percussionist of all ages", a lifetime achievement award. Eddie C ( Eddie Conard ) had the pleasure presenting this award in 2001 to the Dutch rock group " The Golden Earings " whom he also worked with on recordings and live. Eddie's interest in sounds and rhythms started at a very young age.
Actually it all started with playing on the bottom of a metal bucket, listening to music in the basement at his parents home in Gary, Indiana. Eddie came to The Netherlands in 1974 for a short visit on an exchange program then decided to come back and study sociology but at one point decided to follow his passion for music. He became session musician and over the years has recorded on over 3000 recordings with various artists. As a percussionist and sideman Eddie C became more famous in and out of Holland.
International artists contracted him for their European tours. Artists like Gino Vannelli, The Pointer Sisters, The Tramps, Ernie Watts, , Tavares's, Al Jarreau, Mike Batt, Chaka Khan, Eros Ramozzotti, Tommy Emanuel ,Madeline Bell and Soul Sister, in a European tour with Sting just to name a few. In Holland he was the session- percussionist on records and live with many Dutch and Belgium Jack van Pol artists like Kane, René Froger, Laura Figy, Candy Dulfer, Lee Towers and Rob de Nijs. Eddie also performed with the Dutch dj's Marcello and Remy for the Barclay Dance Blend, organized by TMF. Together with The Rosenberg Trio he has also performed a musical tribute to Django Reinhardt.
Eddie also works as front man in different formations and produces other artists as well as gives special team building workshops based on rhythm for companies and is a band coach for the conservatory in Enschede, and different Music Academy's in The Netherlands. He's one half of the duo Soulful with Frank Peeters and a motivation speaker for young musicians to achieve their musical goals.His specific voice combined with his American accent can also be heard in several radio and tv commercials. He also did the Dutch voice over of Clifford, the naughty purple Muppet with dreadlocks, in the movie Muppets in Space.Percussionist, vocalist, entertainer, producer, composer, teacher and motivation speaker. Eddie has the years of experience that keeps him young at heart but wise in musical spirit and someone special for any event leaving you feeling good and a smile on your face.

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
The fifth installment of Mortal Kombat was the first to not be released prior in the arcades; a dwindling and almost extinct concept for today's gamers who didn't have the theater-to-home experience with gaming as we do with film.
Deadly Alliance takes us on a journey that actually had me depart the series. I grew up on the 2-D motion capture actors and cheesy inspiration of Enter the Dragon and Big Trouble in Little China. When the series moved entirely to 3-D with Mortal Kombat 4, I just found the polygonal artwork to have lost some of the feel that made Mortal Kombat special.
Coming back to this game years later, my feelings haven't changed so much. Fighting games had become incredibly cliché and Mortal Kombat started to lose steam to true 3-D fighters, such as Soul Blade/Caliber, Tekken, DOA, and others that arrived on the scene.
It felt like Midway was playing catchup and also lost its originality. Fatalities had long been overdone by the time Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was released, for example. Blood and violence were not the same shock value by the early 2000's, with DOA's top-heavy divas even getting a volleyball spinoff not even two months after Deadly Alliance released.
As such, we see these subtle differences show up in DA, as the characters bounce or jiggle, I should say, much like the other games noted. And fatalities were now limited to one per fighter.
What is this nonsense? Even MK2 had several ways to finish off opponents including multiple fatalities! Stage fatalities, like the famous iterations of "The Pit" are missing too.
This skewed me away from MK as the gameplay in DA is a lot different than the previous MK games also.
While MK4 had side-stepping, it felt more natural than tacked-on in DA. New fighting styles supplanted picking up any random fighter and just going to town – each character has three styles, one of which includes a weapon, akin to my eyerolling least favorite addition to MK4.
There are some other modes tossed into the fray, including Konquest and The Krypt, which are mainly there to make it see like there's more to the game than there really is. Fans and completionists will go for it, but it was a nothing burger for me now or then.
However, the one redeeming quality of Mortal Kombat has been the depth of their roster. Nine new characters, as well as two secret ones, round out a total of 11 new combatants – though some of them seem to have had some lack of inspiration. (Frost? Did we really need a third Sub-Zero/female ninja clone or another cyborg/robot warrior?)
Yet, I will admit that the new characters are a huge improvement over the truly uninspiring ones in MK4.
Even Mokap and Blaze, the hidden characters, are somewhat cheesy by this point in the series.
Yet, for those cringey spots, Moloch and Nitara are actually pretty cool.
The returning cast is a decent who's who of the series, including stalwarts such as Scorpion and Sub-Zero (who the team may never live down removing from MK3) plus more originals such as Reptile, Raiden, Kano, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade and Shang Tsung.
However… the devs still didn't learn their lesson from MK3 anyway and left Liu Kang out of Deadly Alliance. (How?!)
In summation, I feel as though the classic game bears little resemblance where it evolved to. That happens with different game series and I'm okay with it – but I don't have to like it. At the time it felt like MK was trying to compete with other 3-D fighters and sacrificed quite a bit of what made it a cult classic in the process.

Learn how to support a person with behaviours of concern
A person on the autism spectrum may display behaviours of concern and you may not know why.
An autistic individual who displays behaviours of concern don't usually do so 'just because they want to'. There's often a reason behind their behaviour or it might be their only way of telling you something's wrong. All behaviour is a form of communication. Therefore, it's essential that we understand the causes of behaviours of concern and know what strategies will help you deal with them.
Some of the causes or triggers of their behaviours of concern may be:
✅ The person is in pain or their medicine isn't agreeing with them ✅ Because they are not able to communicate that they are hungry, thirsty or want to go somewhere
✅ They can't get something they want or need
✅ Their environment is too noisy or quiet or hot or too cold
✅ They're feeling upset because of something that happened
These and many others, can cause stress, anxiety and frustration for an autistic person. That's why we need to gain a deeper understanding of autism as well as learn practical strategies and resources to best support people on the autism spectrum. Author, Professor, International Speaker, Autism Consultant and Clinical Psychologist, Prof. Andrew McDonnell will share practical approaches and actionable insights you can use to best support autistic individuals with his presentation:
Applying Low Arousal Approaches to Support Autistic Individuals,
Their Families and Supporters.

Castle & Key Distillery has released its first whiskey expression, Restoration Rye. The name pays homage to the restoration of the historic property that is home to the distillery.
Restoration Rye marks the inaugural whiskey release from Castle & Key since it was founded in 2014. The historic property was originally built more than a century ago and at one point was the iconic Old Taylor Distillery.
The aptly named expression is joined by Castle & Key's new Roots of Ruin gin and Sacred Spring vodka release. The trio of spirits have all received a new look from the award-winning design team at Stranger & Stranger.
Each of the new releases are available for purchase in Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, South Carolina, Texas and Georgia now.
"We are more than excited to release our Restoration Rye, a spirit that is thoughtful in every detail. From grain to glass, and is a true representation of the team's hard work and attention to detail over the past five years," says Jon Brown, quality manager at Castle & Key Distillery.
Creating the whiskey
Restoration Rye is a creation that was five years in the making and speaks to the careful restoration of the property. With that in mind, the whiskey was released in two batches. The brand has set its sights on creating spirits with consistency of high quality, rather than consistency in flavour. Therefore, no Castle & Key release will ever taste exactly the same.
The 2020 Restoration Rye release features two batches, both with unique flavor profiles. Batch #1 is created from a blend of 60 barrels, and Batch #2 is comprised of 57 barrels. During the blending process, barrels are grouped into pods with specific sensory profiles. Those pods are then blended together to achieve the unique, high quality flavor profiles.
Batch #1 of Restoration Rye produced 78,000 bottles at an ABV of 51.5%, and Batch #2 produced 75,000 bottles at an ABV of 49.5%. Both bottles are available at $39.99.

Another museum situated on the Bygdøy Peninsula in Oslo, the Kon Tiki Museum holds modern boats, maps, exhibits from Heyerdahl's expedition, as well as a library containing around 8000 books. In 1947, a group of determined explorers and adventurers set sail for a historical journey over the Pacific on a raft that they had made themselves. The exhibits contain informative texts in many languages and tell the story of Heyerdahl's life and work, from his first journey to Fatu Hiva, through his expeditions on board Kon-Tiki, Ra, Ra II, and Tigris rafts, to his journeys to the Galapagos Islands and Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and Tucuma in Peru.
Visiting the Museum, you will be able to see models of sharks and other fish in an underwater exhibit on board the Kon-Tiki, witnessing the 30-meter replica of a cave on Easter Island, and you will also be able to buy a souvenir. The Kon-Tiki and Ra exhibits also contains stories of Johaness Crab and Safi the Monkey, designed to grab the attention even of the youngest visitors.
The Kon-Tiki Museum tells the exciting story of the expedition with original photos, items and the raft used for the journey.
The Kon-Tiki Museum is situated near other museums, such as the Fram, The Norwegian Cultural History Museum, The Viking Ship Museum and The Norwegian Maritime Museum.
If you wish to visit The Kon-Tiki Museum, The Fram and The Norwegian Maritime Museum, we recommend that you buy tickets which include access to all three museums, available for purchase in all three institutions.

Akon Is No Longer Working With Lady Gaga
Akon claims that Lady Gaga has already reached the peak of her carreer, explaining why he is no longer working with her.
Lady Gaga was signed to the Akon's Kon Live label, however Akon put an end to the deal "before it was too late".
He commented on this in radio show of US DJ Sway: "I got out while the gooding (sic) was hot. It's like a business, you build it to sell it."
"When I got it to the peak of where I felt it couldn't go nowhere, and there was nowhere left to go but down, I cashed out, in other words I sold my share and got out before it was too late."
The radio show DJ also mentioned that the sales of Lady Gaga's new album ARTPOP were not as great as previous albums (though it made it to top 10 charts in over 30 countries). Akon replied to that saying that it was the reason he got out.
What do you think, is Lady Gaga still HOT or NOT?

Providing Career Counseling to Lesbian Women.
McVannel, Martha Erwin
The literature on career counseling and lesbian women was reviewed resulting in the identification of 10 maxims regarding providing career counseling to lesbian women. The maxims are as follows: (1) sexual orientation is essential information when providing career counseling; (2) it is important that the workplace be lesbian-affirming; (3) lesbian women have nothing to protect them from discrimination on the job; (4) potential violence must be discussed; (5) ongoing career counseling needs to be considered for the lesbian woman's career planning; (6) there are several positive aspects to a lesbian being "out" on the job; (7) there are several negative aspects to a lesbian being "out" on the job; (8) not all lesbians fit into the stereotypical careers of lesbian women; (9) geography may be crucial; and (10) if a lesbian is partnered, couples counseling needs to be considered. Each of these maxims was discussed in detail. The discussion of the maxim regarding lesbian women's ongoing career counseling needs was accompanied by tables listing 20 colleges in 12 states that have been identified as being accepting of the gay community and 20 colleges in 15 states that have been identified as being against the expression of alternative lifestyles.

Last night I finished off Greg Fishbone's first book, Septina Nash and the Penquins of Doom. His baby daughter is going to have a most delightful, crazy, insane, childhood. From Miss Snoqualmie, the math teacher, to Lieutenant Morse, the RCMP constable, the book travels all over the place (and I'm not just speaking geographically).
It's a fun book - and I admit - I'm not used to reading 'fun' books. I'm used to reading heavy, sad books full of deep insights and character development. This took me a bit to get into - serious adult that I am - but I'm sure a grade five kid - most likely a boy - would gobble this up. And I loved the drawings!
But now I'm back to the heavy stuff ... The Whisperers by Orlando Figes ... seven hundred pages of Soviet terror. I'm halfway through it and will need some more fiction to break it up. Ilse Koehn's Mischling, Second Degree was recommended to me. It was published back in 1977, but I've managed to get a used copy and will dig into another serious, heavy piece of historical fiction. Variety is the spice of life.
Having a pile of books beside my bed waiting to be read, feels as good as money in the bank. It promises a future filled with great travel, new friends and constant adventure.

Aluminium polishing (ARP) is a treatment that, by mechanically cleaning the surface of rough aluminium, gives the same a mirror finish.
Oxidal Bagno performs preliminary machining with automatic machines that give polished or brushed effects to aluminum.
All these machines base their operation on the "rubbing" of the aluminum surface with suitable discs, tapes or rotating brushes.
Depending on the type of appearance which one intends to carry out, it is possible to use wheels with felt disks, canvas cotton, sisal and this is to obtain glossy and metal wires effects. For brushed finishes (scotch brite) it is possible to use organic polymers with embedded abrasives.
Finishes are preliminary treatments created on aluminium sheets or profiles.
Aluminium anodising is a process with an anti-corrosive and aesthetic function.
Anodised aluminium sheets, profiles and extrusions can be coloured.
In order to maintain the anti-corrosive properties and aesthetic characteristics unaltered over time.

It was a lot of fun oiling up the acrylic painting in the field. I thought it might be useful if I cited a few benefits and drawbacks of this technique. One thing I probably didn't emphasize enough in the video was that I had to wait for the acrylics to dry before I added the retarding gel. It was a warm day so that wasn't a huge problem but it did seem to break my flow a bit. I had a chair to sit in and would critique the painting with my wife Debra while I waited for the paint to dry. So it was pleasant but it was a different pace from an oil plein air session.
To dry the painting quicker I placed the painting on the hood of our truck. Which worked well until it was time to leave. We loaded up our gear and drove off and like you might imagine I left the painting sitting on the hood. I was home and unpacked by the time I realized what I had done. Fortunately my painting site was only about a mile away so I drove back and found my painting lying face down in gravel at the side of the road. But since it was acrylic it was entirely dry and unharmed (if it had been an oil painting it would have been ruined).
In the interim between realizing I had lost my painting and finding it the painting had become in my imagination the best plein air painting I had ever done. Proof that our perceptions can often distort our judgement. I suppose you might call it the fish-that-got-away syndrome.

Ordinary Symbolism
This realization came to me during this week's Mass said by Father Sergio.
A few days ago, the main coffee mug I use was permanently damaged thanks to 1) its position on the counter and 2) the cup that fell out of the cabinet the smashed the mug.
Of course, being a house spouse and in charge of the chores, I'm the one who put the cup in the cabinet and perhaps had things packed too closely together. The cup falling out was ultimately unfortunate more than intentional, yet I still had a hand in it.
This relates to karma, and also to what happened next: a question for finding a new set of coffee mugs.
In fact, I not only found a great set but a great set at a great price.
Upon inspection, the designs on the new set reminded me of the four classical elements, and I did something I've rarely done: I blessed the coffee mugs. That may sound strange, but I think blessing our everyday objects can help to remind us of the importance of the mundane.
The damaged coffee mug was the last one we had from our old life in Florida. The smashing of it was a literal container being smashed- the old no longer applies, the old must be discarded.
But that which is contained is the same- the coffee, which represents spirit; the lesson then is that the container must be appropriate for spirit, and that the four classical elements each serve as a container for spirit.
I've often said "spirit" splits into the four elements, and then when the four element are combined again, they form spirit. It's a beautiful set of imagery for me.
Not every mundane circumstance in life has a specific profundity behind it; all things have a general profundity, but that experience is left up to the sages, saints, and masters and is beyond my scope.
Another way of stating this: don't go trying to accidentally smash your coffee mug to copy me and think it's the same thing. Your own life will show you something when you're ready. Whatever happens for you will be very you-specific. That's just how these things roll.
Moreover, I didn't make the connections within this happening until Mass today, and though one should participate in Mass for its own sake, this is yet another benefit of attending Mass: the clarifying of things.
In Christ,
Leave a Reply.

Press Releases
Washington—Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) announced that the federal omnibus funding bill, expected to pass Congress this week, includes funding for two Los Angeles subway projects: the downtown regional connector and the Westside extension. Each project was allocated $65 million.
"The federal funding bill expected to pass Congress this week includes $130 million for two key Los Angeles transit projects, the downtown regional connector and the Westside extension. These two subway projects are key to transforming mass transit for Angelinos, and they have been top priorities of mine for years," Feinstein said.
"Los Angeles is the largest U.S. city without a comprehensive subway system, but Angelinos in 2008 voted to change that, approving Measure R to invest $35 billion over 30 years on the city's transportation system. This bill shows that the federal government is a legitimate partner in this critical modernization effort."
These funds represent the first federal funds for either subway project and the first federal grants for a Los Angeles transit project funded by Measure R. Measure R was approved by Los Angeles voters in 2008 and will invest $35 billion in transportation projects over the next three decades.
Los Angeles County MTA plans to sign a "Full Funding Grant Agreement" with the Federal Transit Administration for each subway project in the next few months. These grant agreements will commit the federal government to provide $670 million to the connector and $1.25 billion for the Westside subway extension.
The funding committed in this week's omnibus funding bill is a down payment against this soon-to-be signed promissory note. The final Full Funding Grant Agreements will be subject to congressional appropriations, so Senator Feinstein will play a significant role in ensuring the federal government appropriates the funds necessary to honor the commitments made in the FFGAs in future fiscal years.
Senator Feinstein has also played a significant role in helping Los Angeles secure federal loans for both projects under the TIFIA program. Terms of the full $160 million loan for the Regional Connector and the $870 million loan for the Westside extension are being finalized.
The Westside Subway Extension, also known as the "Subway to the Sea" or the Purple Line Extension, proposes to extend the purple line from its current terminus at Wilshire and Western to Westwood. The first phase of the extension, to Wilshire/La Cienega, is funded by this legislation. More information is available here: http://www.metro.net/projects/westside.
The downtown Regional Connector is a subway running through downtown Los Angeles. The project extends from the Metro Gold Line Little Tokyo/Arts District Station to the 7th Street/Metro Center Station, allowing passengers to transfer to Blue, Expo, Red and Purple Lines. The 1.9-mile alignment will serve Little Tokyo, the Arts District, Civic Center, the Historic Core, Broadway, Grand Avenue, Bunker Hill, Flower Street and the Financial District. When the project is completed, the Metro system routes will be restructured to allow one-seat ride for travel across Los Angeles County. From the Metro Gold Line, passengers will be able to travel from Azusa to Long Beach and from East Los Angeles to Santa Monica without transferring lines. More information is available here: http://www.metro.net/projects/connector.
