This post is Section 3 from this blog's source and Columbia University's report Sustainable Solid Waste Management in India.
1. Summary
Out of the 57 cities surveyed, all of them continue uncontrolled dumping to a large extent. However, twenty one (21) cities have reported applying earth cover (how frequently is unknown) to the wastes in the landfills and 24 cities reported compaction and alignment of wastes as opposed to uncontrolled dumping!

3. Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) facilities
4. Waste-to-energy combustion (WTE) facilities
5. Sanitary Landfills (SLFs)
Out of the 57 cities surveyed, all of them continue uncontrolled dumping to a large extent. However, twenty one (21) cities have reported applying earth cover (how frequently is unknown) to the wastes in the landfills and 24 cities reported compaction and alignment of wastes as opposed to uncontrolled dumping!
1. Summary
Thirty eight (38) cities have mechanical biological treatment facilities treating more than 4,300 tons per day (TPD) of mixed solid waste, 6 cities have refuse derived fuel (RDF) or Waste-to-Energy (WTE) facilities treating about 1,600 tons per day (TPD) of mixed waste. Small scale biomethanation is practiced in more than 9 cities, but these efforts are generally scattered. They are successful near markets, slaughter houses and other such large sources of separated organic wastes.
Eight (8) cities have constructed sanitary landfills (SLFs). It is important to note that five (5) of them generating less than 1,000 TPD of municipal solid waste (MSW), and three of them generating about 2,000 TPD of MSW. Sanitary landfills (SLFs) in larger cities has proven unsuccessful and cities generating less than 500 TPD do not have enough resources to build and maintain SLFs. A regional facility model suggested by MOUD should be followed to make a SLF a reality when it comes to those cities.
Three (3) cities: Mumbai, Pune and Agra are known to be carrying out landfill gas (LFG) recovery, even though Mumbai's landfill where the LFG recovery operation is taking place was an open dump and not a sanitary landfill as it is in Pune and Agra.
This report has updated the "Status of Cities and state capitals in implementation of MSW (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000", jointly published by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), with respect to waste disposal options. The original table was published by Sunil Kumar, et al. in the paper "Assessment of the Status of Municipal Solid Waste Management in Metro Cities, State Capitals, Class I Cities and Class II Towns in India: An Insight" (1). This updated table contains only those cities which generate MSW greater than 200 TPD and have taken significant steps towards proper SWM.
Informal recycling has not been included in this table. Most of the recyclable waste is collected by the informal recycling sector in India before it is collected by the formal system. It is assumed that informal waste picking happens in all Indian cities to some extent (Kochi is an exception due to labor laws which prohibit waste picking). Also, the exact percentage of recycling in each of these cities is unknown. However, it is estimated that the informal sector recycles as much as 56% of recyclables generated in large cities and metros, (See Section 5.1.1). The recycling percentage is lower in smaller cities as was observed by Perinaz Bhada, et al (15).
2. Aerobic Composting or Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) Facilties
On an average, 6% of MSW collected is composted in mechanical biological treatment (MBT) plants across India. MBT is the most widely employed technology to handle MSW in India. Currently, there are more than 70 composting plants in India treating mixed MSW, most of them located in the states of Maharashtra (19), Himachal Pradesh (11), Chhattisgarh (9) and Orissa (7) (Appendix 8). More than 26 new plants are proposed in different cities and towns across India. The first 10 MBT plants built in India are however not in operation anymore.
Out of the 57 cities which generate MSW above 200 TPD, 38 cities have composting plants, which treat more than 4,361 TPD of MSW. Table 9 is therefore the first such effort which accounts for about 40% of the current MSW composting capacity in India.
Almost all composting/MBT facilities handle mixed wastes. The only known plants which handle source separated organic wastes are in Vijayawada and Suryapet (26). Since almost all these plants handle mixed solid wastes, the percentage of rejects which go to the landfill is very high. During the author's research visit in India, it was observed that only 6-7% of the input MSW is converted into compost. Accounting for moisture and material losses, the remaining 60% which cannot be composted any further is landfilled despite its high energy content (See Section 5.2.4)
3. Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) Facilties
There are 6 RDF plants in India, near Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Mumbai and Rajkot. The plant in Vijayawada used to serve the city of Guntur too. The Hyderabad and Vijayawada plants handled 700 TPD and 500 TPD of MSW to generate 6 MW of electricity respectively. RDF produced in these plants was combusted in specifically designed WTE boilers. The author visited one of these plants and found out that both these facilities are currently not in operation.
The RDF plants near Jaipur and Chandigarh combust the RDF produced in cement kilns to replace fossil fuels. They handle 500 TPD of MSW each. The author visited the plant in Jaipur and found that it is not operated regularly. The plant in Chandigarh is known to have been dormant too, but it is being retrofitted with MSW drying systems to reduce moisture in the final RDF.
The RDF plant in Rajkot handles 300 TPD of waste. Other than this information, there is not much known about this plant; its present operational status is unknown too. It is the same case with the small scale RDF plant in Mumbai, which produces RDF pellets by processing 80 TPD of MSW (See Section 5.4).
4. Waste-to-Energy Combustion (WTE) Facilities
(This section was updated after the publication of the source report Sustainable Solid Waste Management in India)
Only two WTE plants were built in India until now, both in Delhi. Only one of them is currently in operation at Okhla landfill site, New Delhi and has started operations in December, 2011. An earlier WTE plant, which was built in Timarpur, New Delhi is not in operation anymore. The two WTE plants in Hyderabad and Vijayawada are not mass burn combustion. They combust RDF produced after considerable processing of MSW, and addition of secondary biomass fuels like rice husk. Therefore they are RDF-WTE plants.
Even though the Okhla Timarpur plant was built to be a mass burn combustion plant, it is known that they undertake primary processing of the waste to increase its suitability to the boilers.
5. Sanitary Landfills (SLFs)
On comparing Table 9 with the original publication (Comparison in Appendix 3), it was observed that the number of SLFs is gradually increasing. Eight cities now have SLFs as compared to zero SLFs out of 74 cities studied. The eight cities with SLFs are Pune, Ahmadabad, Surat, Jodhpur, Chandigarh, Navi Mumbai, Mangalore and Nashik. The author visited the landfill facility at Nashik and observed that there were no precautions taken to handle landfill fires, which were found to be common at the facility (See Section 4.2). In addition to the 8 cities with SLFs, an additional 13 (total 21) cities apply earth cover over the wastes dumped and an additional 15 cities (total 24) compact or align the wastes. The frequency of applying earth cover on wastes is not known.
LFG recovery from landfills has also been attempted at landfills in Mumbai and Pune. A study by USEPA's Methane to Markets program found methane recovery from only 7 landfills (in 4 cities) to be economically feasible (Table below).
UNEP recommends "[sanitary landfilling] is well suited to developing countries (like India) as a means of managing the disposal of wastes because of the flexibility and relative simplicity of the technology". This recommendation does not take into consideration the high maintaining and operating costs of SLFs and the need for SWM projects to sustain themselves. Most sanitary landfills built in developing nations eventually fail due to high operating costs. A system where majority of the waste generated is planned to reach the landfill will lack robust cost recovery mechanisms. In such a case, the only cost recovery mechanism possible would be tipping fees, which will require increasing or levying user charges/taxes, which many ULBs cannot implement. Sanitary landfilling systems should be designed as an addition to recycling, composting or WTE facilities, which sustain themselves financially.

Confession: I have recently developed a strange curiosity about comic con. A fascination, really. No, I don't read comic books or dress up like Hermione Granger just for fun. I cannot comment intelligently on star trek versus star wars. And I'm pretty sure that video games eat your brain. But I admit that I'm increasingly intrigued by this culture. The Big Bang Theory could be based on real life yo. And I kind of want to be best friends with a Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
As long as I don't have to drive him anywhere.
But it occurs to me that I am just as nerdy about a lot of things as some people are about cosplay or collectible action figures. Books for instance. Or old hollywood musicals. Or spraypaint.
So really, it's not the amateur swordplay or rubber elf ears that make me curious about comic con. It's the fact that some people get to be full-throttle nerdy about the things they love, while the rest of us try to be reasonable.
And I think sometimes that I have too much reason in my life.
I mean, come on. Do you remember when you were a kid and you loved things without apologizing? I want that again! I want to speak without self-critiquing and watch the weirdest shows that no one else watches and decorate with complete abandon. And when someone sneers at the fact that I've seen every episode of Jonas and play word puzzles compulsively and have a cherished collection of opera tickets, I will smile pityingly because...wow, how much they're missing!
The new nerdism is really just about embracing joy. And I could use more joy.
So to satisfy my nerd cravings, I began watching some of the panel discussions that Nerd HQ organizes at comic con. And in listening to the highly entertaining Q&A banter between sci-fi and fantasy celebs and their fans, I realized a few things: That I want to be more passionate about the stuff that makes me happy. That I need to be more appreciative of other people's passion. And that I'm pretty much in love with Zachary Levi.
I've posted below a panel that made my face hurt because I smiled all the way through it. Watch and you too will realize that we all just need to be a little more nerdy.
Too bad I don't still have my X-files posters from 1997...

Chronic Disease Self Management Program
The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) is an evidence-based program focused on problems common to older adults suffering from chronic diseases. It is designed to enhance clinical treatment and disease-specific community-based education. The overall goal is to enable older adults to build self-confidence to maintain their health and manage chronic conditions.
According to a Stanford University CDSMP study, of program participants compared to those who did not participate, demonstrated significant improvements in exercise, cognitive symptom management, communicated better with physicians and self-reported general health, health distress, fatigue, disability and their social/role activities limitations. They also spent fewer days in the hospital. There was also a trend toward fewer outpatients' visits and hospitalizations. These trends yield a cost to savings ratio of approximately 1:4. Many of these results persist for as long as three years. Learn more
The six-week program is taught by trained community health educators for 2.5 hours a week. Each session engages participants in healthy behaviors, promotes positive changes in health status, increases self-efficacy, improves communication with health care providers and decreases the number of visits to physicians and emergency rooms.
CDSMP in other Languages:
- Spanish: CDSMP is culturally adapted to the Spanish speaking population, it is called 'Tomando Control de Su Salud', and trained community health educators instruct the workshop with the translated and adapted material. Learn more
- Haitian Creole: Our Network has partners offering workshops in Haitian Creole.

Graffiti Moon, Cath CrowleyI think this is my favourite Australian book to come out last year. It's a word-perfect one-night-in-Melbourne romance with art, grafitti, mistaken identity and just the right balance of comedy to pathos. Beautiful.
The Sky is Everywhere, Jandy Nelson I didn't read The Sky Is Everywhere for ages, because I was a bit put off by the blue-ink-diary-meets-funky-Bible production of it. But then I inhaled it on a plane and cried on Michael's shoulder and clutched him tight. Summery, flowery, musical romance. Gorgeous.
Teenage, Jon Savage This is the only non-fiction book, and also the only non-YA. It's a prehistory of teenagers, from the late 19th century to the 1950s. Utterly fascinating and will be of great use for my research this year.
Six Impossible Things, Fiona Wood Another one I didn't get around to reading for ages, and then devoured and loved. I think my favourite part is the bitter newly-single mum who starts a wedding-cake business, but turns all her potential clients off marriage. Genius.
Guardian of the Dead, Karen Healey My favourite kind of fantasy is when magic permeates the real world in subtle and interesting (and sometimes violent) ways. Guardian does just that, weaving Maori mythology (and other kinds) into contemporary New Zealand life, where it mingles with teen drama, humour and romance.
This is Shyness, Leanne Hall How could I not love a book about a secret suburb somewhere near Collingwood and Fitzroy, where the sun never comes up, and sugar-addicted kids and creepy monkeys roam around abandoned housing commission flats?
White Cat, Holly Black Curse-working was banned along with alcohol during the Prohibition years in the US. And it's still banned. People wear gloves to protect their hands from curses. Throw in some good old fashioned cons, some confusing dreams and a memory that doesn't seem quite right, and you have one Lili eagerly awaiting Book Two.
When You Reach Me, Rebecca Stead One of those books that is made so mind-blowingly profound by its conclusion, that you have to immediately turn back to page one and read the whole thing again. New York, secret messages, a beautiful homage to Madeline L'Engle's A Wrinkle In Time, and some of the most thought-provoking, deceptively simple, philosophical writing I've ever come across.
Three Loves of Persimmon, Cassandra Golds Cassandra Golds is yet to write a book that I didn't adore. This one is no exception. She returns to the vibrant and delicate world of mice in this novel - mice, heartbreak, cabbage-roses, trains, theatre and love.
Dash and Lily's Book of Dares, Rachel Cohn & David Levithan In the vein of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, this back-and-forth novel has all my favourite things: New York, second-hand bookstores, romance, humour and Christmas. An absolute delight.
In 2010 I also reread nearly everything ever written by LM Montgomery, because I went on a bender and couldn't stop. I met Emily of New Moon for the first time and possibly love her more than Anne Shirley. And then I couldn't stop, and had to read everything. I adored every single word, with the possible exception of Kilmeny of the Orchard which I found a bit creepy.
(Also, for the record, my top films of the year were Toy Story 3, Easy A, Scott Pilgrim and The Social Network. In that order.)
What were your favourite reads of 2010?

Ashby, Turner - Brig. Gen.
Brigadier-General Turner Ashby, a hero of the South whose memory is cherished with peculiar tenderness by the people of the Shenandoah valley, was born at Rose Hill, Fauquier county, in 1824. He was a grandson of Capt. John Ashby, of the revolutionary war. At the time of John Brown's raid he was captain of a volunteer cavalry company, which he led to the scene of trouble. On the 16th of April, 1861, he was at Richmond, with other bold spirits, and took part in the planning of the capture of Harper's Ferry. The next morning, the day of the passage of the ordinance of secession, he went to his home to call out his cavalry company. His brief career from that time was of the most romantic nature, and he speedily became the idol of the volunteer troopers who rallied at Harper's Ferry in April and May, to recruit Jackson's forces. He was assigned to command of the Confederate post at Point of Rocks, where his activity and alertness were of great value. In June he was in command of a troop of Col. Eppa Hunton's regiment, but obtained permission to rejoin his own regiment, Col. Angus McDonald's legion, and McDonald recommended him to promotion as lieutenant-colonel, speaking of him at this early date, June 25th, as "already known as one of the best partisan leaders in the service. " Meanwhile Ashby, in addition to his other duties, had attracted attention by his daring in making a trip to Chambersburg, Pa., disguised and unattended, and obtaining complete information regarding the Federal force under Patterson. He was soon promoted lieutenant-colonel, and the rank of colonel followed in a few months. While Johnston was moving to Manassas, to the support of Beauregard, Ashby and Stuart, with their cavalry commands, were very successful in masking the transfer of the troops until it was too late for Patterson to have any influence upon the battle of July 21st. In October, General Jackson was assigned to the Valley district, and Ashby, as colonel of the Seventh Virginia cavalry, was put in command of the cavalry. In February he was authorized by the war department to raise cavalry, infantry and heavy artillery. During one of the engagements of 1861, his brother, Capt. Richard Ashby, to whom he was tenderly attached, had been slain by the enemy, and the circumstances of the death so affected him as to give to his natural heroism an extraordinary enthusiasm. Turner Ashby was of striking aspect and splendid personality when he came to take command of Jackson's cavalry. In form he was trimly built, in movement graceful, and when mounted on his splendid horse, he appeared a chevalier of romance. The attachment of his men to him was displayed on all occasions, and his own devotion to Jackson was so great that he was accustomed to say, "I would follow him or go where he commanded without knowing anything except that it was Stonewall Jackson's order." His faith in Jackson was like Jackson's faith in Lee. It is this trust of the army, in its leaders reciprocated by the faith of the leaders in the army which makes heroes in battles. In March he withdrew with Jackson from Winchester, before the advance on Banks, but on the 22d returned and by an audacious attack drove in the enemy's outposts. The battle of Kernstown immediately followed, in which Ashby, with his cavalry and artillery, and an infantry support, rendered effective service upon the Confederate right. After this Jackson was rapidly reinforced, and Ashby's force was recruited to the dignity of a brigade, though his commission as brigadier-general was not issued until May 23d. He pursued the Federals after the battle of McDowell, played a prominent part in the rout of the Federals at Middletown, and defended the rear during the Confederate retreat up the Valley early in June. On the 3d his horse was shot under him while his men were burning the bridge over the Shenandoah. "Ashby has infernal activity and ingenuity in this way, " Shields reported to Washington. On June 6th, near Harrisonburg, he repulsed an attack, capturing the Federal commander, Sir Percy Wyndham. He immediately planned an ambush of the pursuing Federal advance, and a fierce combat ensued. As Ashby led the attack, his horse was shot under him, and he rushed forward on foot, urging his men to charge, when a ball pierced his breast and he fell forward dead. His death was felt as a severe loss to the army. Tackson wrote to General Imboden: "Poor Ashby is dead. He fell gloriously. I know you will join with me in mourning the loss of our friend, one of the noblest men and soldiers in the Confederate army. In his official report he wrote: "As a partisan officer, I never knew his superior. His daring was proverbial, his powers of endurance almost incredible, his tone of character heroic, and his sagacity almost intuitive in divining the purposes and movements of the enemy." In October, 1866, his body was reinterred with impressive ceremonies in the Stonewall cemetery at Winchester, where the anniversary of his death is annually commemorated by the strewing of flowers upon the graves of the unknown dead.
Confederate Military History, Vol. III.
Black Knight of the Confederacy
Ashby cut a striking figure, called by many the "Black Knight of the Confederacy". He generally rode horses that were pure white or pure black.

In what just might be the start of a tradition, I think I'm going to make another list-based post. So here are the cool things that you should know about Alternative Spring Break.
- Applications are due before midnight on November 1st.
- They're aimed at exploring cultural and social issues in a very hands-on way. Most have a heavy community-service component, although some do more than others.
- There are 17 different programs (according to the ASB website) that allow you to stay in the Bay or travel to places like New York and Washington D.C.
- It's one of the busiest weeks of your life. You fit in more than you could ever think possible in one week, and you learn a lot. Taking the one-unit, winter quarter class beforehand is totally worth it when you go to visually see the issues you have learned about.
- You get to meet people who have dedicated their lives to social activism. Which can cause you to rethink your priorities. We're talking life-changing.
- You spend the week with other students who are really invested in the cause, just like you are. Which lends itself to great late night discussions about what you've seen that day. Everyone has their own point-of-view to bring to the table, and you really learn a lot from the backgrounds of the other people in the group.
- You make great friends. Everyone I talk to has said ASB is a BLAST! A lot of people continue have reunions with their groups way after the fact, just because they love their groups that much.
- It's student led. So there aren't any barriers in group discussions. And as a group of students, you see the changes that needed to be made, and the role our generation needs to take on to get involved.
I know I got all "you can make a difference" towards the end, but the truth is that ASB is overall a FUN experience that is a great service opportunity. You'll remember it for the rest of your lives!
If you're interested at all, check the facebook group.
Also, special thanks to the wonderful Kelsey Dang for her testimonial and awesome knowledge. Also for the picture.

Transport and bistable kinetics of a brownian particle in a nonequilibrium environment

A system reservoir model, where the associated reservoir is modulated by an external colored random force, is proposed to study the transport of an overdamped Brownian particle in a periodic potential. We then derive the analytical expression for the average velocity, mobility, and diffusion rate. The bistable kinetics and escape rate from a metastable state in the overdamped region are studied consequently. By numerical simulation we then demonstrate that our analytical escape rate is in good agreement with that of the numerical result.

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a little bit of Make it Crafty inspiration with you today. Have you seen Zoe's brand new tutorial on shading with a light source? It is super helpful and informative especially if you have never learnt art or the technical aspect of drawing like me! :)
The tutorial coincides with a brand new digi release...amazing 60s girls! Absolutely love their style and their outfits :) For my card I have used Crystal, who was also used in Zoe's tutorial.

Helm's Deep III | The fire of Orthanc - five new 32mm scale metal figures
The walls of Helm's Deep had stood the test of time and the heat of battle, at least until the wicked inventiveness of Saruman was pitted against it. Orcs sacrifice themselves to blow open a pathway to the inner keep, allowing them to storm the once impregnable fortress that protects the most vulnerable of Rohan's population.
This new release from Mithril Miniatures will have five new figures and they will be numbered M541 to M545. They were designed using the traditional method of clay sculpting. They will be primed 32mm scale metal miniatures.
Currently they are pending approval by Middle-earth Enterprises.

Great to see that this long-rumoured group of figures will finally be seeing the light of day. It even encourages us to hope that other figures known – or at least suspected – to be collecting dust in the darker corners of the Mithril archive may also one day materialise.

FERC Hydropower Overview (7-FD-e)
Pursuant to the Federal Power Act, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has exclusive authority to license most nonfederal hydropower projects located on navigable waters or federal lands, or connected to the interstate electric grid. FERC Handbook, page 1-1. FERC may issue an original license for up to 50 years. When a license expires, the federal government may choose to take over the project, decommission the project, or may re-license the project. FERC Handbook, page 1-1. The re-licensing procedures are very similar to those used for original licenses. Any deviations from the original licensing process for re-licensing are indicated.
FERC Hydropower Overview Process
7-FD-e.1 to 7-FD-e.2 - Could the Project be a Qualifying Conduit Facility?
Developers of hydropower facilities located on non-federally owned conduits with installed capacities up to 5 MW are not required to be licensed or exempted by FERC. The developer must file a Notice of Intent to Construct a Qualifying Conduit Hydropower Facility with FERC, and show that the conduit is not primarily for the generation of electricity and was not licensed or exempted on or before August 9, 2013. 16 USC § 823a(a). Developers will be required to obtain authorization from FERC to qualify as such a facility.
FERC Qualifying Conduit Hydropower Facility Authorization Process:
7-FD-e.3 to 7-FD-e.4 – Does the Project Qualify for an Exemption?
Certain hydropower projects may qualify for an exemption from the FERC licensing provisions outlined in FPA Part 1. If the project qualifies for an exemption, then the project will be subject only to the conditions attached to that exemption. 16 USC § 823a.
The developer's project may qualify for one of two types of small hydroelectric exemptions from licensing:
- A small conduit hydroelectric facility up to 40MW (16 USC § 823a(b)); or
- A small hydroelectric project of 10MW or less (16 USC § 2705).
See also Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act of 2013.
Any developer seeking a small conduit hydroelectric (40MW) exemption must have all the real property interests in the lands necessary to develop and operate the project, or the option to obtain those interests. 18 CFR § 4.31(b).
The hydropower project may qualify for a 10MW exemption if the developer seeks to install or add capacity to a project located at a non-federal, pre-2005 dam, or at a natural water feature. If only rights to use or occupy federal lands would be necessary to develop and operate the proposed small hydroelectric power project, then any person may apply for the exemption. 18 CFR § 4.31(c)(2)(i). If real property interests in any non-federal lands would be necessary to develop and operate the proposed project, then any person who has all of the real property interests in non-federal lands necessary for the project (or an option to obtain those interests) may apply for the exemption. 18 CFR § 4.31(c)(2)(ii).
FERC Exemption Process:
7-FD-e.5 - Does the Developer Possess a Current FERC License or Exemption?
If the developer does not possess an existing FERC License or Exemption, then they may choose to seek a preliminary permit. If the developer already possesses a license or exemption, then they must decide whether or not to seek re-licensing.
7-FD-e.6 to 7-FD-e.7 – Does the Developer Seek an Amendment?
If the developer seeks to make certain changes to a project authorized under an existing Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license, the developer must apply for a license amendment from FERC. Prior to submitting an amendment application, the developer must complete a pre-filing consultation process that may involve resource agencies, Indian tribes, or the public. Generally, amendments can be broken into two categories: capacity changes and non-capacity changes.
(See generally, FERC Other Licenses and Exemptions Handbook).
The developer must follow the amendment application requirements found at 18 CFR § 4.200 et seq., if the developer seeks to:
- Make a change in the physical features of the project or its boundary, or make an addition, betterment, abandonment, or conversion, of such character as to constitute an alteration of the license;
- Make a change in the plans for the project under license; or
- Extend the time fixed on the license for commencement or completion of project works.
FERC Authorization Amendment Process:
7-FD-e.8 to 7-FD-e.9 – Does the Developer Seek Re-Licensing of an Existing Project?
A developer with an existing license must file a Notice of Intent to Seek Re-Licensing and a Pre-Application Document (PAD) with FERC at least 5 but not more than 5.5 years before expiration of the existing license. 18 CFR § 5.5(d). Requirements for the PAD are contained within the pages dedicated to the applicable FERC licensing processes described below.
A developer with an existing license must then file an application for a new license at least 24 months in advance of the existing license expiration, or it will be barred from filing an application for re-licensing. 18 CFR § 5.17(a). The developer will complete either the Integrated, Traditional, or Alternative licensing processes discussed below to obtain re-licensing from FERC. If the developer does not wish to seek re-licensing, then they must go through the process of license surrender with FERC.
7-FD-e.10 to 7-FD-e.11 - Does the Developer Seek to Surrender the Authorization?
Developers with a FERC license or exemption may decide to surrender their authorization. FERC may also require surrender of a license. Under any of these circumstances, the developer must complete the relevant FERC surrender process. The Division of Hydropower Administration and Compliance within FERC processes applications to surrender authorizations.
FERC Surrender of Authorization Overview: 20
If the developer possesses a license or exemption, but does not plan to seek an amendment, re-license, or plan to surrender the authorization, then the developer may continue with the project.
7-FD-e.12 to 7-FD-e.13 – Will the Developer Seek a Preliminary Permit?
Developers may apply for a Preliminary Permit with FERC to establish priority for their application for a license while the developer obtains data and performs the acts required to determine the feasibility of the project and to support an application for a license. 18 CFR 4.80. FPA Part 1(f). Each preliminary permit will maintain priority of application for a maximum of three years. 16 USC 798.
FERC Preliminary Permit:
7-FD-e.14 to 7-FD-e.15 – Will the Developer Seek to Use the Traditional Licensing Process?
All developers applying for a FERC license must use the Integrated Licensing Process unless they apply for and receive authorization from FERC to use the Traditional Licensing Process or the Alternative Licensing Process. 18 CFR § 5.1(f).
With the Traditional Licensing Process, scoping under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is conducted after an application is accepted for filing by FERC. FERC is only involved in the pre-filing consultation process in a very limited capacity before the application is filed. FERC Handbook, page 1-2. For a comparison of the ILP and TLP process, see the FERC Licensing Processes Matrix.
FERC Traditional Licensing Process:
7-FD-e.16 to 7-FD-e.17 – Will the Developer Seek to Use the Alternative Licensing Process?
With the Alternative Licensing Process, scoping under the NEPA is conducted during the pre-filing consultation process. Developers using the Alternative Licensing Process will substitute a preliminary draft Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Exhibit E of the license or re-license application. FERC Handbook, page 5-1. For a comparison of the ILP and ALP process, see the FERC Licensing Processes Matrix.
FERC Alternative Licensing Process:
7-FD-e.18 – Initiate FERC Integrated Licensing Process
If the developer does not obtain permission to use the Traditional or Alternative Licensing Process, then the default Integrated Licensing Process (ILP) must be used for the project. 18 CFR § 5.1(f). The ILP was adopted in 2003 in order to integrate the development of a FERC licensing application and environmental review under NEPA and other environmental requirements. The purpose of ILP is to provide an efficient and timely licensing process that ensures appropriate resource protections through coordination of FERC's processes with those of other federal and state agencies and Indian tribes that have authority to condition FERC licenses. 18 CFR § 5.1(e).
With the Integrated Licensing Process, FERC's involvement begins during the pre-filing consultation process and is constant through the entire licensing process. FERC Handbook, page 1-2.

Heriberto Viramontes (31) and Marcy Cruz (25), who are charged with the attempted murder of Armagh student, Natasha McShane and her friend Stacy Jurich, have pleaded not guilty on all charges.
The pair are being charged on 25 indictments including attempted murder, armed robbery, aggravated battery and aggravated unlawful restraint. The attack took place on April 23 in Bucktown, Chicago.
Cruz waited in a van while Viramontes robbed and viciously beat the defenseless women with a baseball bat.
McShane, a native of Silverbridge, County Armagh, received the brunt of the attack. Her friend, Jurich, managed to raise the alarm before losing consciousness from her injuries. Jurich is now recovering in her home.
The University College Dublin student, McShane, remains in an intensive care facility with her family at her bedside. She has spoken her first words since the attack but is making a slow recovery, having been in a coma for almost a month.
Her mother Sheila McShane said "She's starting to speak. It's not very clear, but it's there.
"She's making slow steps, but she's improving every day. She knows we're here. We're going to be here for a while. She smiles occasionally, but she's really more agitated to be honest.
"She's not very happy at the moment."
Her grandmother said "She's a very strong-willed girl, and if anyone can do it, Natasha can."
Her condition is still described as serious condition. She first opened her eyes on May 7 having spent three weeks in medically-induced coma.
Viramontes and Cruz are scheduled to appear in court again on July 7.

Police and Court Bail – What you need to know
In this section we'll discuss police bail, court bail and the conditions of bail.
What is bail and how does it work?
Following an arrest and being charged with an offence, the Police have to option to remand the person in custody or grant them Police bail prior to their first appearance in court. In circumstances where an individual has been remanded in custody, they can apply to be bailed at their first appearance or at subsequent appearances in court.
Bail is often granted to those not deemed as a risk to public safety. For instance, it's highly unlikely that a person accused of a very serious crime would be granted bail.
A bail agreement may be subject to certain terms. i.. the accused may have to report to a police station or bail officer every fortnight.
Police bail and court bail – who grants bail?
There are two main types of bail – police bail and court bail.
What is Police Bail?
Police bail is where the Police grant bail either whilst investigations into the offence are still on going or where the individual has been charged but has not yet appeared in court.
Police bail allows the police to continue their investigations into the alleged offence and request the individual to return to the Police Station for further questioning.
What is Court Bail?
Court Bail is where the court officials grant bail to a defendant between scheduled court hearings. This is as an alternative to 'remand' which is where the defendant is held in custody between hearings or before a court trial date.
What is Remand?
When someone is described as remanded in custody, it means that they are kept in custody/prison until a trial or sentencing hearing takes place. Usually the person on remand has not been convicted of a criminal offence and has pleaded 'not guilty'.
Why have I not been granted bail?
The courts or police may decide not to grant bail if a person poses a risk to public safety.
The courts may also feel that a person is unlikely to return for a court hearing, and as such refuse bail.
Failure to answer bail – the consequences
If a person fails to answer bail or breaches bail, they will be liable for arrest.
The courts may decide to issue an arrest warrant if the bail conditions set by the police are not kept to or breached.
If you are in breach of bail, it's worth speaking to a solicitor. click here to speak to one of our expert solicitors who will be able to advise you with the best course of action.
Bail when you've been charged with a crime
Anyone sentenced to prison has the right to lodge an appeal for bail with the courts.
The courts may also decide to grant a person bail part-way through their sentence if they no longer pose a risk to the public.
Bail conditions
If you're looking to appeal for bail, you'll want to speak to an expert solicitor. We have numerous years of experience in criminal law and could help you.
Alternatively, if you feel the authorities have handled your case poorly, visit our extensive section on actions against the police, where you'll find plenty of advice about making a claim.

|Selma March 1966
At the same time, what I have observed over recent months has got me truly afraid for what America has in store for our future. The great abolitionist and civil rights activist, Frederick Douglass once said: "America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future." And from what I've been seeing in the last few months has been nothing but falsehoods and an attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of the People! But one thing is clear (it's so clear that if you can't see it then you're either blind or ignorant) many of these Conservative politicians have brought to light some "old traditions" that we all knew were still around, but here we are looking at them straight in the face.
Yeah, I'll admit to you that I do have a bias due to my support of the Democrats and President Obama, but though I can admit that I do have a partisanship what I want to do here is not suffocate you all with pro-Obama propaganda, but to bring back to your consciousness an important right we MUST exercise this year and every year for that matter!
Even before 2012, I noticed that a lot of my young Black brothas and sistahs have decided that they were not going to participate in the electoral process. From what I have seen, this has been mainly because of two reasons:
- They have been told, or came to the conclusion that their vote doesn't count
- They don't like who's in office or who is running to take that office
Why wouldn't you believe that your vote doesn't count?! Have you taken into consideration our history in this country?! For instance:
If your vote doesn't count, why wouldn't they give us the right to vote in the first place?!
If your vote doesn't count, why would the KKK kill Black men as they went to the polls?!
If your vote doesn't count, why would a man assassinate a president when he proclaimed that he was going to give the Black man the right to vote?!
If your vote doesn't count, why would they wait until the early 20th century to give women the right to vote?!
If your vote doesn't count, why for so many years did evil white supremacists systematically try to take away our vote?!
|41st and 42nd Congress of the U.S.
The 1960s became the decade in which the blood that had been spilled for so many generations was finally being brought to television screens! Freedom Summer, murders in Mississippi, church bombings, beatings, police dogs, assassinations, etc.! Theses occurrences didn't happen because your vote didn't count!
|Murdered Civil Rights Workers
In 2008, they saw what we could do when we came together! That's why in 2012, they are trying to take away the vote! And let's be honest, it's been the GOP enacting these ridiculous voter suppression laws to prevent the non-exsistant problem of "voter fraud". Yes, for the sake of saying it, it happens, but it has happened less than 10 times in a 10 year period! Voter ID laws, preventing early voting, being very strict on the registration drives, which are usually mostly held in the Black and Latino communities, read between the lines! This is the 1960s, and even before then, all over again!
They're going to have people looking over our shoulders at the polls! They want us to pay for extra IDs that we don't need! They don't want us to vote early to make it so much more inconvenient! They even eliminated Sunday voting in some places! (I will have links below for you to get involved in fighting and learning about voter suppression.) And you're telling me that your vote doesn't count?!
The reason why our ancestors fought so hard to get the vote, the reason many died or were beaten for the vote was because that piece of paper gave us a voice. With voting rights, we had the chance to have a say in what went on in the government because if we don't speak up for ourselves, who will? I know, many of us, including me, can't stand how this government works and how corrupt it is, but what I can say is that without participating in the political process, we're just standing by letting the government walk all over us! I say "Power to the People" often because it's something I sincerely believe in. But how can the People get the Power when they're letting the structure they want to change walk all over them. So I propose this: if you don't like President Obama...don't vote for him. If you don't like Mitt Romney...don't vote for him. By all means...VOTE! Vote for someone you like, vote for an issue that you feel has your interest at heart! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! As W.E.B. Du Bois put it: "With a vote in our hands, we are freemen."
|Stokely Carmichael
Once again, I understand all the frustration with the government, but that's why you need to take a stand and make a change! Actually, by you not voting...you're doing exactly what the system wants you to do. If you haven't noticed, a lot of people don't want you to have a say! John Boehner, the Speak of the House, even said he "hopes that Blacks and Latinos don't come out to vote." Do you want to fulfill his wish? I hope not.
Let's silence those that oppress! Let's stand up and come out in droves on election day! More importantly, let's make Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells, W.E.B. Du Bois, Fannie Lou Hamer, Andrew Goodman, James Chaney, Michael Schwerner, and many more, proud! So I urge all that aren't registered to vote to go out and register! I urge those that are registered to go out and help register voters! And I urge everyone to go out and vote this November because our future TRULY hangs in the balance! And if you stand on the sidelines and not do anything...you have no right to complain about the issues. So if you want your voice heard, please go out and vote! And let's continue the mission to give All Power to the People!

Measured against low expectations, the employment report for February was a relief. The news that the economy added 175,000 jobs last month was better than anticipated, and much better than the dismal reports in December and January. That has raised hopes for a spring bounce, a safe bet given the probable hit to employment in the past few months from bad winter weather.
It is also a safe bet, however, that any such lift will be unsustainable. Whatever catch-up businesses play this spring will be against a backdrop of continued high joblessness, poor quality of jobs available and low pay.
The February unemployment rate of 6.7 percent, for example, would have been 10 percent if the 5.7 million workers who are waiting on the sidelines for job openings were included in the jobless rate. The share of jobless workers out of work for more than six months actually increased, from 35.8 percent in January to 37 percent, or 203,000 people, a situation made all the worse by Republican refusal to reinstate expired federal unemployment benefits this year. Nearly half of the new positions added last month were in temporary jobs and low-paying fields, including bars, restaurants and janitorial services.
Recent experience has shown that it is possible to have a growing economy without strong job growth and decent wages. All that is needed is an asset bubble, amplified by financial speculation and accompanied by excessive tax cuts and unfettered lending.
Recent experience has also shown the folly of that type of growth. And yet, in an economy that still badly needs more good jobs, true economic stimulus is not even on policy makers' wish lists, let alone their agendas.
Republicans have not only resisted extra spending to combat unemployment but have supported cuts in food stamps and blocked the extension of jobless benefits, while coercing or co-opting Democrats to put nondefense discretionary spending on a relentlessly downward path.
Even President Obama's recent and welcome call to spend $56 billion through 2024 on new and improved infrastructure and other far-reaching projects could be more aggressive. Mr. Obama has proposed to pay for his initiative by reducing inefficient government subsidies and curbing high-end tax breaks. That is sensible, but it would be more stimulative to the economy to borrow at today's low rates for a ramped-up program of long-run investments, which would return more over time than the cost of the loans to make them.
Republicans would resist such a strategy. But they will also resist new spending that is paid for by raising new revenue. With the national debate shifting away from a wrongheaded focus on deficit reduction, the administration could make a stronger argument for both stimulative borrowing and the end to unjustified subsidies and needless tax breaks.
Six years from the start of the last recession, the unemployment rate is still substantially higher than before the downturn for all groups, regardless of age, education, occupation, gender, race and ethnicity.
If it's politically impossible to do what's needed, Democrats should at least make the case for stimulus and indulge no illusions that there is some other way to turn conditions around.

We had the pleasure of a visit from Daisy and Co this weekend. As we still have Bear (our son's dog) staying they came up to us on Saturday afternoon. I'm not sure Bear would have been very comfy our car for an hour and a half.
When I last saw my DD she told me that Daisy keeps putting on her necklaces. I have made my DD lots of lovely lampwork glass bead necklaces over the years and she was concerned they might get broken. I offered to make Daisy something suitable for a 2 3/4 year old and that's what I planned to have ready for Daisy's visit yesterday.
I have already made Daisy a silver daisy necklace for when she is older so I needed something "beady".
I had lots of different ideas I knew that it needed to be a long one, 22" to be precise so that it was like Daisy's Mummy's. Also it needed go over her head. I looked a "child" beads like fish, stars etc on Ebay and found some rather nice bright coloured acrylic hearts, which I bought.
Just look what she made
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;
That's Crafty 1/3 all square my card is 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 " square
Crafty Catz 1/3 anything goes with an autumnal twist
Simon says stamp Wednesday anything goes
Simon says stamp work it Wednesdays 2/3 stamping
Mod squad foliage
Ribbon girl 1/3 September card challenge
Card Mania 1/3 earth tones
Time out 1/3 trees/leaves
The Artistic Stamper 1/3 Monochrommatic
The Emerald faeries monchrommatic
Penny Black and more add a sentiment
Thanks for your kind visits to me today. I hope you enjoyed your weekend? We finally had some well needed rain overnight. My garden welcomed it as the lawn was getting quite parched. The sunshine is due to return again mid week so it appears that we are still hanging onto summer for the moment.
Back soon,
Bye for now,

These photographs are described by Urban Outfitters Blog as "beautifully simple and simply beautiful,†and I have to agree. Anna Morosini has a unique ability to capture a moment at the peak of its innocence, unaware of the camera lens invading their personal moment.
Morosini takes photos of various things, namely twenty-somethings who are free-spirited and having fun.
Implications - The indie culture has had a huge pop cultural impact in the world today. With independent music on the rise and hipsters being the subject of various mediums, it's become popular to capture this lifestyle. Just like how grunge made an impact on fashion, the indie culture has made its way to the mass public. Brands and businesses profit from this "subculture" by adding a mainstream twist on what they sell as "indie" products.

Adobe After Effects Tips #5
Animation Methods, Graph Editor, More Shortcuts
Extracts from the book Adobe After Effects 7 Studio Techniques
- Hold down SHIFT when animating (moving objects, adjusting a value etc.) and the value will be changed at ten times the normal amount of change. (When animating objects it's 10 instead of 1).
- Hold down CTRL + ALT to change a value at one tenth the normal amount.
- Select the Show Audio Waveforms option in Graph Editor options menu (the eye icon in the bottom) to show Audio Wave in the Graph Editor. You can do the same this with expressions. I found it quite useful when compositing a video into music.
- You can flop a layer horizontaly just by selecting the Layer, hiting S for Scale, unchecking the Constrain Proportions (the little icon to the left from the 100% value) and write -100% for the horizontal value (the first one). You can also flip it verticaly. Just - to the second value.
- Hit a keyframe and press F9 - you add Easy Ease Bezier Interpolation to the animation curve. Hit Shift + F9 and you add Easy Into the Keyframe animation (bezier into the frame, sharp edge out). Ctrl+Shift+F9 adds Easy Out of the Keyframe (the other way around).
- To reset the Keyframe from Easy Ease to linear, just Ctrl click it.
- In the Graph Editor, the Y values indicate the speed of an animation, while the X values represent the time.
- Hold keyframes are useful to stop video at a certain point in time. Just Right-click a certain keyframe and click Toggle Hold Keyframe (Ctrl + Alt + H).
- If you want a certain effect options to be visible even when you start working with different composition, just hit the small Lock icon on the top of the Effect Controls tab.
- With a layer selected, hit U to reveal all the keyframe data this layer contains. Hit U again to hide them.
- Hit UU with all the layers selected and you see all the transforms made in the project. Great tool!
- Hit E to see all the layer's applied effects.
- You can set a keyframe for any Transform value (Position, Anchor Point, Scale, Rotation, Opacity) by hiting Alt + Shift + propertie's shortcut (P, A, S, R, T).
- Deselect keyframes by hiting Shift + F2.
- Wit a set of keyframes selected Alt-Drag on the corner ones to lenghten or shorten the animation.
- You can adjust Anchor Point without changing the animation (for when you move it after you've animated a position, it changes the animation also). Just Alt-drag it and your animation remains the same, even though

Commentary By Jack Lund, Arverne By The Sea Y
I began this column last month with the goal of starting a dialogue with the Rockaway community, because we want to hear first-hand from you about your families' needs, what you'd like to see from your new Y, and what we can do to make our facility feel like your home away from home.
We have been making noticeable progress in the construction of the new Rockaway YMCA at Arverne by the Sea. Piles are 100 percent complete, we've poured concrete for pile caps and for grade beams at pools and for the front of the building, and we've completely dewatered the site. We look forward to sharing future progress with you.
Being the new kid on the boardwalk, we've got a lot to learn. Fortunately, learning is part of what we do best.
Here at the Y, strengthening communities is our business – and we've been succeeding at it for nearly 160 years. It's in everything we do – from helping a sixth-grader with her homework after school, to providing diabetes prevention programs, to helping our New American neighbors gain job skills or learn English. Our approach is simple: we believe the best way to serve a community is to work hand-in-hand with those who know it best and listen closely to the needs of each of the neighborhoods we serve.
This month, I wanted to share with you some examples of how we've been able to bring about positive change in two New York City communities – Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn and Ridgewood, Queens – through the construction and renovation of two new YMCAs.
In January 2007 at the Bed-Stuy Y — after more than a century of serving the heart of this historic neighborhood — we unveiled a major branch expansion that has enabled us to meet more of the community's diverse needs and rekindle a strong sense of hope for the area's future. Membership has grown exponentially since the reopening, from 1,500 members in 2006 to 6,300 current members. We are also a leading neighborhood employer, with branch staff numbering nearly 200 workers.
Life in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn has its share of daily challenges – from high poverty and crime rates to a shortage of places to buy fresh, healthy food. The new Y has become a beacon of hope to thousands in the community. From providing teens with a safe place to learn and play after school, to giving seniors a home away from home to exercise and socialize, to partnering with countless community organizations to offer free programming in everything from selfdefense to diabetes prevention – the new branch is always alive with activity. The community has benefited financially from the Y as well. Bed-Stuy residents have coined the term the "Y Effect" – which refers to the increase in real estate values of properties directly surrounding the branch.
Looking to Ridgewood, Queens, we recently finished an extensive renovation and reconstruction effort to restore this diverse and thriving community's historic branch Y. We undertook this project to meet the rapidly-growing needs of the community, including providing hundreds more kids and families across Ridgewood and Glendale with a safe, fun and affordable place to learn, grow and thrive.
Originally built in 1930 as a county courthouse, the Ridgewood facility was a beloved – yet aging – community landmark in desperate need of repair. Our three-year, $8 million restoration project reimagined the facility's capacity, creating 21,000 square feet of completely modernized, state-of-the-art program space, featuring a new gym, spacious rooms for health, fitness and other classes, top-of-the-line exercise equipment and pristine new locker rooms. We also added 3,000 square feet to our enclosed courtyard, so that members could enjoy more than 22,000 square feet of usable outdoor space.
Throughout this massive makeover, our commitment to serving the community remained strong: we never once stopped providing the Y afterschool and day camp programs on which our families depend.
With this new, restored space, we're steadily adding programs in direct response to the community's needs, such as a robust early childhood curriculum. Since the branch reopening, we've grown from 100 members to 1,300 members – including more than 500 youth memberships. And, we provide critical financial support to nearly 300 families in the area, because no one will ever be turned away from the Y due to an inability to pay.
These are just a few pages in our history of helping New York City's communities grow stronger in the ways that are most useful and valuable to the people who live there. We're looking to you and the Rockaways to help write the next chapter.
The Wave – The Y as a Cornerstone of Community Change

I looked for all clinical trials where they gave flu vaccine to type-1 diabetics, specifically. I did not think there would be any such studies, because recruiting from such a limited population would be tough. But I was wrong. There were several, but I only had time to look at the first 8 (listed below); some studies covered more than one area:
- Two studies focused on safety, and these found no added risk to type-1 diabetics.
- Four studies focused on effectiveness, and three of these found no differences in effectiveness between type-1 diabetics and the general population. One study found that flu vaccines were less effective for type-1 diabetics as compared to the general population.
- Three studies focus on flu vaccines affecting the immune system in a way which would contribute to type-1 diabetes, and these found that it did not.
Rather than summarize each study, I'm letting each study "speak for itself" by quoting the abstract from each one. You can click on the abstract to see the exact study design: most were intervention studies with control groups; one was a population registry study.
One injection of 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1) MF59-adjuvanted vaccine is immunogenic and safe in young patients with Type 1 diabetes who are at increased risk of influenza morbidities. Pandemic vaccine can be safely co-administered with seasonal influenza vaccine.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19607951
The results indicate that in older children and young adults with type I diabetes influenza vaccination with a virosomal or a standard subunit vaccine is safe and adequately immunogenic against the three influenza vaccine strains. In addition, the virosomal vaccine may show better long-lasting immune response than the standard subunit vaccine, especially in subjects without pre-existing antibodies to influenza strains.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2074915
From these results it is concluded that IAA [an autoantibody linked to type-1 diabetes] formation is not a direct sequela of viral infection or vaccination.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19459478
Use of Pneumo 23 vaccine or its combination with Grippol vaccine in patients with DM1 did not result in increase of levels of autoantibodies to n-DNA, d-DNA and pancreatic tissue, was not able to initiate or lead to disease progression as well as positively influenced on the immune response with tendency to normalization of the several arms of the immune system and, at the same time, did not result in activation of autoimmune process.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2789342
No significant difference was found between diabetic patients and control subjects with respect to antibody response after vaccination.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9607024
The influenza-specific antibody response in both serum and oral fluid were similar for both groups, and also showing a kinetic profile in accordance with our earlier data for healthy adults. Our study did not detect a difference in the humoral immune response between juvenile diabetics and healthy controls.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21994316
Risks for Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis remained unchanged.
In Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients the incidence of non-responders to two vaccine components was significantly increasedSummary
Taken together, these studies show that flu vaccines are safe for type-1 diabetics, do not worsen the immunology behind type-1 diabetes, and are effective for type-1 diabetics. One one study found that flu vaccines were less effective for type-1 diabetics than for the general population, but less effective does not mean "not effective"!

April 2004 to April 2005
PSI researchers:
Background, summary and aims
'People under the age of 50 who are participating in the New Deal 25 Plus (ND25+) have to participate in an 'Intensive Activity Period' (IAP) if they are not successful in finding work in the Gateway phase of ND25+. This is not the case for those aged 50 and over; for them participation in the IAP is voluntary. This project examines the effect of making IAP participation mandatory for older New Dealers. Specifically, the extent to which mandating participation affects benefit receipt and employment are considered.
The evaluation is being carried out in fourteen Jobcentre Plus districts within Britain. In each of these pilot areas, individuals entering ND25+ aged 50 or over are randomly assigned either to an 'action' group for whom IAP participation is mandatory, or a control group for whom it remains voluntary. This experimental analysis allows an unusually robust estimate of the effectiveness of mandating IAP to be obtained.'

The papers are from the Pampered Pets paper pack, there's some lovely pastel designs in there. I coloured the digi stamp using pro-markers and used glossy accents on their eyes and noses. I've been meaning to make a card with a rosette on for a while as I love them but always seem to forget, I made this one from a strip of patterned paper with ribbon attached to the edge, I added pins and a button to finish it off.
I stamped the sentiment using Versamark and embossed in silver. I love those little paw charms, they're really cute!

19 hospitalised after chlorine gas leakage in Gujarat village
Workers involved in the cleaning process began complaining of eye and throat irritation due to exposure to the gas.india Updated: Apr 14, 2017 14:42 IST
At least 19 people were hospitalised following the leakage of chlorine gas in a small village on the city outskirts, district officials said on Friday.
The incident took place last night due to leakage in the valve of a chlorine gas cylinder, when the process of chlorination in a drinking water tank located in Por village was underway, they said.
Those affected after their exposure to the gas, including the workers involved in the cleaning process, were admitted to the state-run Sayajirao hospital here when they began complaining of eye and throat irritation, Vadodara district collector Lochan Sehra said.
The village is located on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad national highway.
A team of officials from the company which supplies gas cylinders for chlorination purposes rushed to the spot and and defused the cylinder into nearby Dhadhar river.
Meanwhile, Dr Rajeev Deveshwar Gupta, superintendent of Sir Sayajirao General Hospital told PTI that the condition of all the affected people is stable.

Wings of Desire is really a rather special film. In a way, it's more akin to a some sort of metaphysical poem or piece of writing, rather than a movie. It is poetic. And very beautiful; concerned with the deeper and more complex questions in life regarding our existence on this earth.
This is a tale about angels: the silent and invisible angels that watch over Berlin, and offer comfort to those in distress. If anything, this is a film about human life and human desires and chiefly, humanity's greatest desire and trait, our ability to love. The contrast between flesh and blood human life and the intangible, cerebral world of the angels, is depicted by means of capturing the corporeal world in technicolour and the world through the angels' eyes in nostalgic monochrome.
To paraphrase one critic on Rotten Tomatoes, this is, in short, a tale of angel meets girl and falls in love. The girl in question, Marion, a trapeze artist, is burdened by her own misfortunes and confusions. Portrayed by the late Solveig Dommartin, Marion is radiant in her twinkling costumes with feather wings and glittering tiara. Her down-time outfit consists of high-waisted denims, trench coat, patterned shirt and ankle boots. Later, she attends a Nick Cave and the Badseeds' concert in dramatic red and evening earrings with red-lipsticked mouth.
Marion isn't the only scene-stealer in directer, Wim Wender's film. Berlin itself is cold, stark and haunting, yet strangely magical throughout.

Bed bugs can not only be annoying, but difficult to manage once an infestation has occurred. There are a number of methods that are recommended for individuals to prevent a decrease the problem from developing in their home.
Bed bugs are called thus due to their natural inclination to hide in close proximity to their meal, in this case the sleeping area of humans. With this fact in mind, people are encouraged to routinely inspect the furniture for any indications of the parasites. Bed linens should be washed and dried in as hot water as possible and dried in the same heat as well on a weekly basis. The pillows and mattress can be placed into special cases which prohibit the reproduction of the red ramblers.
Additional methods include vacuuming the house on a regular basis and thoroughly inspecting all furniture or luggage before entering into the house with it. Travelers should be aware of regions prone to these infestations and be especially vigilant when visiting. There are a number of websites which list hotels and locations where there are current problems.
Consumers have many different insecticides which can be purchased over-the-counter. Some people prefer a natural approach with the use of diatomaceous earth dusted throughout the house.
Infestations are very difficult to get rid of once it occurs and typically require professional help from an exterminator that specializes in these pests. It is important to immediately address the situation as soon as there are indications of their presence.
