Bit O'Scotland
Over on Westwood Boulevard, between Olympic and Santa Monica Boulevard, you could once get the best fish and chips you ever had, served by cheery older women with (mostly) British accents. The entire menu was fish and chips, shrimp and chips, chicken and chips, some kind of ham and chips, plus various combination plates. I never had the ham but I think it was the only thing in the place that wasn't fried, except maybe the clam chowder (red), salad, beverages and shortbread. This was all served in an an old house someone had converted into a restaurant that was way too small for the crowd. On weekends, the wait to dine could run upwards of an hour and for some reason, every time I found myself waiting for a table, the party ahead of me included James Coco.
After Bit O' Scotland closed, the same family opened a restaurant over on Pico near Rancho Park. It's called John O' Groat's and it's open mainly for breakfast and lunch. But at lunchtime, you can order fish and chips made with the same wonderful recipe. Alas, they don't have shrimp, scallops or cheery older women with British accents.

When I was 8 or 9 years old (1962-63) my Dad, who worked in West LA at Ampex, introduced our family to Bit O'Scotland. I never liked fish until I had Bit O'Scotland's fish & chips. The batter was so light and crunchy and the very generous pieces of fish were always light, flaky, and sweet, never fishy. I'm now 65 years old and I haven't had Bit O'Scotland's fish since the very late 1970's, but my mouth still waters for it! If my husband and I ever make it out to LA, we will definitely seek out John O'Groat's and pray it's still open and serving that wonderful battered fish.
When I worked at Jacks Richfield gas station across the street in the late 1960's it was my " Go to" for lunch and dinner. Wonderful fish and chips served in a cardboard take away box. Now that I read the comments here will have to try John O Groats
My grandparents, Katherine and William Hill originally owned the Bit O' Scotland. My Uncle Bob Jacoby eventually took over the restaurant and upon its closing opened the restaurant John O' Groat's which still uses some of grandmas original recipes.
I have nothing but fond childhood memories and it's really great to see all these comments about the Bit O' Scotland.
Not sure if I can but I will try to post some old photos that I think might bring back some old memories of your own.
A nice place to retreat after fierce battle with the British classist control systems at work against the good people in the City of Los Angeles. The Scottish King approves. :)
Both of my sisters worked there. I remember on Friday nights, they would come home with the reddish color boxes with either the chicken, fish or shrimp with the chips that the cooks made extra and would throw out or give to whatever employee wanted them. Friday night midnight munchies were the BEST!!!!!
Absolutely the BEST FISH OR SHRIMP OR CHICKEN and CHIPS i have ever eaten!!!!
Feasted there as a child in the early 50's and on. Globally, I have never found Shrimp fried the way they did it. Absolutely fabulous.
Used to take my kids to Bit O Scotland for Chicken, Fried Shrimp and their family reciep cream of chicken soup. One night after w2e fdorgot one of my boys toys I came back as they were getting some supplies from thier onsite storeage shed . Lo and behold, we saw huge industrial size can of Campbels Cream of Chicken Soup. We all had a great laugh about their old family reciep and started to wonder if they got their fried chicken from the Pioneer Chicken down the block. Best Fried Shrimp I ever had.
The Bit O Scotland was a wonderful restaurant where my family would order the fish and chips and take it home to eat almost every Friday night. I grew up inWest LA just a few blocks away. I was asked to work there by the owners when I was 16 years old because I grew up in the north of England and had the right accent. My sister also worked there. The food was fabulous and authentic. My goodness what memories.
Had a stunning nightime view on Westwood blvd….I remember it was slightly north of The Chatham. Got a take out copy of the menu just before it closed April, 1984.
Been thinking about the Miramar, they served barBQ steaks & chicken. It was a small hotel w/lounge & a large outdoor, patio. Located in downtown LA area. Don't recall street, but had a steep driveway.
Was there in the 60s. Anyone know it?
Best fish and chips ever!

It's finally here! Dawn French's new novel is due to be released this month and we have the first two chapters ready for you to read here, on Woman & Home.
And if the prospect has got you excited – you'll love this even more: woman&home are inviting YOU to join us in a very special evening with Dawn herself. You'll even have the opportunity to ask questions and learn about the woman herself. Find out more here, the read on for an extract from her much-anticipated new book…
According To Yes will follow the life of an eccentric 38-year-old Rosie Kitto, primary school teacher from England. It will take you on a journey of the trials and tribulations of her life after she is sent to 'The Foreign Land of the Very Wealthy' (Manhattan's Upper East side) and to the Wilder-Bingham family. Rosie finds out there are strict rules and codes of behaviour that she must follow.
A PRH spokesperson said: "But as Rosie bounces into their lives with a secret sorrow and a heart as big as the city, nobody realises that she hasn't read the rule book. For the Wilder-Bingham family, whose lives begin to unravel thread by thread, the consequences are explosive. Because after a lifetime of saying no, what happens when everyone decides to say yes?"
Here are the first two chapters of the highly-anticipated According To Yes:
Fifty-seven Fifty-eight Fifty-nine . . . Fuck. Yet again, Rosie Kitto's belly was empty. No baby. Why did they bother to wait the full three minutes? As much as she knew anything, she knew there was no chance, but his darling desperate face persuaded her to see it through. Along with that second thin blue line on the pregnancy test, all trace of hope for a future with him failed to show up.
Funny how a moment so anticipated can be so fleeting and mundane in its failure. There was no mighty crash when the hope toppled, only a quiet whimper. That hope deserved a bigger send off. Once, it had been giant.
As if tightly choreographed by Pina Bausch, every puffy face in every serried row on the British Airways 747 is obediently upturned, staring at the seatbelt sign overhead. An elastic moment where a random group of strangers are united, some don't even breathe so suspended are they. Bing bong.The familiar cue releases them from their airline aspic, and all at once the plane bursts into a chaotic scuffle of bod- ies racing to grab their belongings, rushing to be first to stand still in a queue to get off. Everyone is frazzled, perhaps it's the lack of fresh air that makes people so grumpy. They all seem to have somewhere very very important to be. Some- where that just can't wait. So, come on, hurry up. Me first. Shuffle. Push. Jostle. In 26A, Rosie is the only person who remains seated. She gazes calmly out of the window with her forehead tilted onto the glass. She has been sitting just like this for the best part of the journey, lost in thought. No, not lost. Found in thought.
Thinking such a lot, working out how she feels about flying away from everything and everyone that she knows and start- ing an impetuous new adventure like this. She feels strangely calm, accepting. She has surely surrendered to her future, whatever it might bring. So why is she the only one still sit- ting, whilst the others have filed off the plane in an impatient orderly line, exiting past the very polite, well-rehearsed air stewardesses,
'Thank you for flying British Airways.' 'Thank you.' 'Thank you for flying with us today.' 'Thank you.'
'Have a lovely day.' 'Thank you.' 'Goodbye.' 'You're welcome.' 'Thank you for flying British Airways.' 'Cheerio.' 'Thank you.' 'Thank you.' 'Yes, thank you, yes, get off, yes, go away, sod off, goodbye.'
Why isn't she moving? You know that tiny fragment of time, just exactly before the point of no return? The golden moment where you might . . . could . . . just maybe COULD change your mind, and reverse it all? Take it all back, say no, don't jump, be safe, go home. That moment? That's where Rosie is. Part of her wants to remain on the plane and let it bounce her back home on its return journey with all the new crew that will come aboard, fresh faced, fresh make up, fresh hairdo, fresh smell. Spit spot. Bound for home. For home. For lovely familiar drizzly comfy old England. Where, even if she knows it's wrong, at least she knows how to be. That's where Rosie Kitto, thirty-eight, primary school teacher, is assuredly grown up, reliable and emotionally tuned in.
This new Rosie Kitto seems to be running away like a seriously immature selfish twit. Very ungrown up. Who is she? Well, she is the person who, a couple of weeks ago, said no to all the even keel, and yes to grabbing life by the throat, yes to jumping off the edge, yes to what the hell's it going to be like?, yes to being afraid.YES,YES,YES PLEASE! That's right.
So, get out of your seat, Rosie, this is New York . . . here goes . . . COME ON!! 'Thank you for flying British Airways today, goodbye."

Greenway Parks is a distinctive Dallas neighborhood, to say the least. It's included in The National Register of Historic Places, has received The Neighborhood Achievement Award from Preservation Dallas and was chosen as one of Texas' 25 Best Places by the Texas Society of Architects. That's some pedigree. It's also nestled between Bluffview and the Park Cities, minutes from Love Field and the Southwestern Medical District: location, location, location.
It was designed in 1927 by David R. Williams, in the English tradition of having a "common-green," a green space for use by the neighborhood community. This was a novel concept for Americans in the 1920's, so you can say Greenway Parks was setting the pace back then and has continued to do so throughout history. Architects of note, like O'Neill Ford and Howard Meyer, have designed significant homes in the neighborhood, it's zoned as a Conservation District and the HOA ensures not only is your home protected but you will also have a lot of fun if you can find a home for sale. And we did, on one of the largest lots in Greenway Parks.
Joe Kobell, with Ebby Halliday Realtors, has 5343 Wenonah listed for $1,725,000. The home was built in 1948 and it's a great example of a flawlessly updated Mid-Century Modern, Ranch hybrid with clean lines, classic form and the flow of light that are hallmarks of this era. The impressive contemporary horizontal windows and mitered glass corner windows take our breath away.
The light, bright interior has bleached white oak hardwood flooring we're sure architects of the '40's would approve of wholeheartedly. The living room has a wall of bookcases that echo the shape of the windows and the fireplace has a simple modern form that anchors the room with clean classic style.
The kitchen is a modernists dream. Clad in pure white, it's a refreshing, smart, minimalist design with a rocking stainless steel Sub Zero refrigerator and an island with a five-burner gas range. A second living area at the end of the kitchen, overlooking the pool, is the perfect place for guests to sip wine and enjoy watching the chef du jour in action. That bleached hardwood vaulted ceiling is spectacular.
The master suite is on the second floor and has that same splendid ceiling and a serene view of the treetops from the bed. A bright white spa-like bathroom with dual sinks and streamlined storage completes the tranquil look.
The spacious backyard has a lagoon-style pool, private garden, and a large brick patio – perfect for entertaining your new neighbors because, let's face it, you're going to love them.

'Disenchantment's David Herman talks about having played over a hundred voices and "just being able to get paid to play"
David Herman has been into live action as well as animated shows, and after two decades in the industry, he shares the bonus perks of being in animation.
If you're a fan of 'The Simpsons', 'Futurama' and 'Bob's Burgers', there's a new animated show in town that is bound to have you stoked. Titled 'Disenchantment', this show comes from the house of the legendary Matt Groening, who happens to be the same person that has blessed us with the classics mentioned above. And as is the case with most of his works, he decided to have voice actors who have previously worked on his show before, to collaborate on this one too. Meaning, we have the iconic David Herman — yes, the one from the cult classic 'Office Space' — reprising his work in the house of Groening once again.
In a casual chat with MEAWW, Herman spoke about his upcoming show, the thrills of working with Netflix and Matt Groening, and of course, things that you can do as a young comedian that you seem to grow out of once you've evolved as a veteran in the genre. Here are some excerpts of his conversation with us:
You've worked on iconic shows like 'Futurama' and 'Bob's Burgers'; was 'Disenchantment' an easy transition from them?
Yes. We don't realize how much you cherish and how special something is until it's been ripped away from you. I've been very blessed to be able to still continue working with most of the cast of 'Futurama' on other projects. It's a very small circle who do the work on this, so you're always bumping into the same guys. And we're all very close and love working together. But when 'Futurama' was over, we were like, we got to play together and suddenly that playground was taken away. And I have been hearing for a while that Matt (Groening) had this (Disenchantment) in the works. But the wheels grind slow, so it was like 'is this really gonna happen?' But when it finally did, it was just joyous for us to be together. We just love playing with one another the tone and the humor is much the same as 'Futurama', maybe a little whackier. So it was a glorious transition.
What was your experience working with Matt Groening on this project, like?
In the first season of 'Futurama', Matt was in the core being involved. As it goes on, he was more in the table reads, writing stuff - he's been so involved. It's much more improv, so it's been lovely. It's been so great to have him there all the time. I'm very fortunate and appreciate it.
Tell us about your work on 'Disenchantment'.
This is Matt Groening tackling sword and sorcery. Matt Groening and Josh Weinstein, who is a veteran 'Futurama' writer as well created it. I personally am more of a sword and sorcery person than a sci-fi person, so this is a genre I've enjoyed more than science fiction. So there's kings and princess and reapers - it's such a rich soil to churn. And it's great: Every week they come in to play a different wizard or a different king or a knight. So it's very much in the tone of 'Futurama', but it's Matt tackling the sword and sorcery genre.
What was the best part about with Netflix?
They are great! They really have figured out a good tide here, because when they're just clear that okay, we want Matt Groening - it's like Matt Groening, you do your Matt Groening. They don't interfere very much with the train of the process. They are just like - we got this guy and we'll let him do what he does. So in terms of that, they really have it figured out because generally in show business because there's such a high, costly investment when you're making a show, everyone's on top of them - sticking their fingers all over it and in it. And generally speaking, the model in show business is that we want to be the first at being second. We want to be the carbon copy of something that's already succeeded. Nobody wants to risk being groundbreaking. In the business, we don't really want to explore when there's so much cash involved. But Netflix just gets these creative people - they let them go do what they do, steer the path and that's actually the way to have something pioneering or groundbreaking.
You've been in the industry for over two decades and played over a 100 voices now; what according to you has been the most rewarding aspect of this profession?
As compared to live action — and this is my personal thing, the reason I stopped doing live action — animation is so much closer to the playing around you do with a child. And I've been so fortunate to play with the people I love. Basically just being able to get paid to play. That's the best element there is.
How difficult is it to come up with a voice for an animated character?
In my process — which I'm sure is different to others — is I try to stick to, and focus on the story of the episode and the tone of the series. They are like my two guiding principles. And if it's mostly the things I've seen and experienced, it comes right up. And if it doesn't work, then we mold it. Like refer to other episodes and so on. But the general instinct for me is that it starts with the story and the tone of the script. Everything grows out of those two guidelines.
Have you ever used your actual voice for any of the characters?
For the most part, it's some kind of variety that I put to my own voice, but yeah. I probably sound a bit like Mr. Frond from 'Bob's Burgers' or Steve. There are certainly characters that are closer to me than the ones that are way off.
What do you consider some of the biggest challenges as a voice actor?
I've been so blessed. But there are times, and shows which you'll work on where someone will be directing and you can't figure out where they may be going with it, or you'll do 45 takes of a single line. And if you know about semiotics, you'd know if you read the word egg for 45 times over and over again you'll forget what an egg is. So it's really about keeping it fresh and virginal and alive and that's the hardest thing to maintain.
Could you us a little bit about your time on MADtv? How was that experience like as a young comedian?
A lot of great people worked on that show. It wasn't my big place to do a lot of characters - or my particular cup of tea - but I worked with great writers and directors and performers. I had just come from another sketch show and I was one of the few cast members who had an idea of this is how a TV sketch show works like and how much is asked of you. But I couldn't do it today. I have two kids and a family. And I was working 16 hours a day an moved to Los Angeles for MADTV. It was a lot of work, so you really just give your entire life to it. My whole life revolved around that show. The only people I saw were people involved with Mad TV so it was nonstop, and I just couldn't do it today.
You also played Michael Bolton in the very critically acclaimed 'Office Space'. How does it feel being a part of such a cult classic?
I've worked with Mike (Judge) for several years before and so I knew him and I knew what he wanted from this thing and he literally gave me the part and I loved the script. It was such a great mirror of that passive aggressive climate, so I was thrilled. And I've worked with most of the people involved before so it was like summer camp. And I was overjoyed. And when you really hold a mirror like that to people lives, they are just like - you know, that's my life! They are really grateful their lives are being represented on a screen. And at that time it was groundbreaking.
What are some of your upcoming projects that you are excited about?
'Disenchantment', of course! And then I'm continuing working on 'Bob's Burgers', and there's another Netflix show I'm working on and of course 'Disenchantment' really seems like a part of my golden years and I've been blessed.

Parents at an East Bay high school are concerned their children are at risk due to a broken PA system on campus.
Hayward Unified School District officials said they have been trying to repair the aging PA system at Tennyson High School for the past year until it finally gave out.
On Wednesday night, the school board voted to approve $1.7 million contract to replace Tennyson's PA system. But there are four other schools in the district with broken PA systems.
Parents tell NBC Bay Area the issue at Tennyson was a major concern after someone scribbled a violent threat on a bathroom wall last week. The incident last Friday prompted a shelter-in-place at the school.
Parents said without a working PA system, there is no good way to warn students of an emergency.
HUSD officials said there is a plan to put in a new PA system, which will cost millions and require extensive wiring. Here's the proposed timeline:
- Bids were submitted on March 13
- Contract to be approved Wednesday, March 28
- Exterior work begins on April 4
- Interior work begins June 15
- Complete construction on Aug. 10
Meanwhile, campus administrators are relying on walkie talkies, phones in classrooms and teacher cell phone alerts. The campus also is practicing emergency protocols and drills.

Consultative Group Meeting
2— 3 March 2006, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
1. Cambodia's progress as a nation is both measured by and dependent on the development status of its citizens. The development partners thus welcome the Government's commitment to human development1 issues as set out in the Government's National Strategic Development Plan, and the longer term ambitions outlined in the Cambodia Millennium Development Goals for both 2010 and 2015.
2. The Joint Monitoring Indicators on Human Development from the last Consultative Group meeting focussed on improving fund availability for the health and education sectors to ensure better service delivery. For this 2006 Consultative Group meeting, the related indicators have been both repositioned and strengthened:
3. Maternal health: Whilst progress has been made in reducing fertility rates and increasing the proportion of women using birth spacing and accessing proper antenatal care, still more than one fifth of the illness-related causes of death of women aged 15-44 are due to pregnancy-related complications including during deliveries. Such alarmingly high figures call for careful assessment of the situation, the review of interventions, the improvement of both the nutritional status of expectant mothers and critical health services.
4. Education: Cambodia has made progress in increasing access to basic education. However, half of the children in Cambodia still do not complete primary education. Lack of trained teachers and educational materials, as well as poverty itself means that many over-aged children are stuck at the primary level. Children who have disabilities, orphans, those from ethnic minorities and the very poor, have little success in accessing public education. We hope that the renewed focus of Government, development partners and civil society on education for every child will ensure enrolment and completion with consideration of the incentives required and a particular focus on girls and those with special needs.
5. Gender: Mainstreaming gender is a path to overcome inequities in access to education, levels of female literacy, higher rates of girl child labour and gender inequities in access to public services. Gender mainstreaming is also a way to increase the current low levels of representation of women in decision-making positions. Neary Rattanak II and the Rectangular Strategy embody the Government's commitment to gender mainstreaming and recognise the need to strengthen laws and their enforcement. We acknowledge Cambodia's report to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women and the committee's consideration of the report in January 2006. We also acknowledge that the Royal Government has enacted a new law on domestic violence in September 2005 and as development partners we remain focused on supporting implementation of the National Action Plan to combat violence against women.
6. HIV/AIDS: Cambodia has made significant progress in meeting its targets to combat HIV/AIDS. The prevalence rate among adults aged 15-49 has sharply declined from 3.0% in 1997 to 1.9% in 2005 (surpassing the target of 2.3%). Whilst many of these results are encouraging new areas of concern need to be addressed. These especially include the increasing proportion of husband-to-wife and mother-to-child transmissions among total new infections. The conventional intervention strategy to combat the disease by focusing on urban and high-risk groups needs to be complemented by approaches that address vulnerability in a range of settings and populations, including the issue of increased illicit drug abuse. Achievements in tuberculosis (TB) prevention and cure are significant with DOTS treatment now in all health centres, with good cure rates recorded.
7. New JMI's: The Government has demonstrated that advancing human development is possible through implementing adequately and efficiently funded plans of action based on targeted outcomes. As development partners, we are pleased to see that key areas of action have been selected for careful attention in the coming year including:
8. Conclusion: Human development is central to the development of the nation as a whole and can best be achieved through progress on development, peace and security, and human rights2. Monitoring progress on human development through the JMI's now includes the defining and tracking of rates of disbursement to the health and education sectors. Likewise and in line with the NSDP, the JMI's also focus on the critical issues of improved service delivery and strategy implementation for health, education, HIV/AIDS and gender. We remain committed to supporting the Royal Government of Cambodia in the implementation of these important segments of the NSDP and will continue to collaborate with Ministries, National Authorities and civil society to support the defined and agreed actions needed to make progress on the CMDG's in Cambodia.
Human development is the
process of expanding human choices by enabling people to enjoy long,

Best Drift Trips in Patagonia
Oct 30th, 2018
Across the dynamic landscape of Chile and Argentina, the fishing opportunities are endless. This works to the benefit of the angler because this means there is truly something for everyone in Patagonia. While some may prefer to spend long days on foot walking and wading the rivers of the region, others travel south to experience some of the finest drift fishing on the planet. The good news is that guests will often have the option to do both at many of the lodges we work with. At some, multi-day wilderness floats can even be arranged. Days spent floating in Patagonia are some of the most legendary downriver fly fishing experiences available, and often times a day spent in the boat means accessing fish that are less pressured and observing nature that is not often seen by human eyes. For those who wish to have a float fishing experience such as this, below you will find five of our favorite venues for incorporating days of drifting on your next Patagonian adventure.
Contact us at 800.552.2729 or write us a note if you'd like more information
Limay River Lodge, Argentina
Limay River Lodge is the only lodge on this vast braided river with more than 50 miles of water and ten distinct floats. While historically thought of as late season migratory brown trout river the truth of the matter is that this system is packed with resident rainbows and browns, the vast majority of which are 18-22 inches and eager to eat large dry flies. Add to that even larger resident fish, huge migratory browns from March through May and you will see why this operation has gotten the attention of the most seasoned South American anglers.
Patagonian Basecamp, Chile
With innumerable rivers, creeks, lakes and lagoons within arms reach of Patagonian Basecamp, the fishing options are nearly unlimited. Throughout the course of a stay, anglers will never fish the same section of water twice and it would take a full month to fish all the beats they offer. The main systems fished include the Palena, Rosselot, Figueroa and Yelcho rivers along with their adjoining lakes and tributaries. The fishing program is centered around boat-based fishing due to the size, structure and difficult access points to their rivers and lakes.
Coyhaique River Lodge, Chile
Coyhaique River Lodge enjoys private access to about 75% of the water they fish. Most of their private land use agreements originate with down-home community relations in which a neighbor needs help cutting a road, harvesting trees, or managing their cattle. Always capable and happy to help, this often leads the brothers to land exclusive access rights to trophy rainbow lakes, small walk and wade gems or special put-ins on rivers that few others float. In a land where anglers are already relatively few and far between, these arrangements will virtually assure that you will have days with a beautiful spring-creek, river or lake entirely to yourself.
Carrileufu River Lodge, Argentina
Guests enjoy a wide range of fishing options with the nearest being a five minute drive and the farthest being a 50 minute drive. The fishing program gives anglers the option to fish from drift boats and rafts and they can also enjoy a wide range of walk and wade venues. In addition to the numerous waters found in Los Alerces National Park, the lodge can also arrange a three-day wilderness float on the Rio Chubut from December through February. The lodge can take two to six anglers on this adventure and they will provide all camping equipment as well as great meals.
Patagonia River Ranch, Argentina
Patagonia River Ranch is arguably the most deluxe, luxurious and refined fishing lodge in all of Patagonia. Furthermore, they have the ability to easily access six different rivers during your stay, giving guests the opportunity (determined by conditions) to fish a new river each day. Nestled in Northern Argentina, it is tough to think of a lodge in a more ideal location than Patagonia River Ranch.

text: Buyukcekmece is a coastal district in Istanbul with its local municipality operating rather independently under the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. Each local municipality in Istanbul is obliged to prioritize the good of residents living within their peculiar municipal boundaries. The conflict in this case stems from a decision of the Buyukcekmece Municipality widely clashing with the public opining regarding a private construction plan on a park, aka Albatros Park. Back in 2013, locals in Buyukcekmece protested and made it clear that they want no transition plan for the park after the municipality first time publicized the project concerning the fortune of the part. The project area concerns 3 hectares of the whole park, which is more than 15 hectares, but locals identify themselves with it, and also because it is the only remaining green public place in the Buyukcekmece coast. To that purpose, residents have formed a civil society group called 'Diren Büyükçekmece Platformu' - "Resist Buyukcekmece Community" – and opposed the decision peacefully, their actions ranging from street marches to a camping campaign in the said park. On 4 October 2015, at the 24th day of the campaign, police officers broke into the park and forcefully removed the activists, while detaining some 20 activists for a short while. Two spokespersons from the campaign issued a press release after the incident: "We meant to camp and plant trees in the park, with good intentions, but police did not let us do it. The municipality refuses to have cut trees earlier, but what happened to the park, which was green once, is evident. Over the past 15 years the municipality has been deliberately deforesting the park, which sadly accelerated gradually for the last 3 years. Every morning we used to rush to the park upon news on trees are cut down. They damage the trees with construction machines, later they warn the public against the risk of falling trees and eventually plead this for the tree massacre. The park has ancient trees that ought to be under conservation, we categorically reject any construction or building project within the park." The head of Buyukcekmece Municipality, Hasan Akgün, on the other side, told the press that the land is municipality's own property since 1957 and the project contains service points such as an hotel, restaurants and a residence. He said: "This project is no evil. The buildings would only confine to a small percentage of the area and remainders would be kept green. The municipality will make a fortune with the project, and there is no harm in this. The whole park is by no means subject to the project, but only a small piece of it, around 30% of it, which in fact, has never been a designated park before or never ever included in the park by our municipality. There have been hotels, restaurants, outdoor cafes and a camping area in this place since 1960s, generating revenue for the municipality, until we shot all of them down in 1999. However, the area lied fallow afterwards, serving the visitors as a park." However he also adds that the municipality has all sorts of building and construction permits for that particular area and free to start any project any time soon. In retrospect, on 11 April 2017, in face of public objections and despite multiple ongoing court cases, municipality announced to have sold the land to a joint private group for 160 million Turkish liras ($45,7 million) after 7th public bid session. The highest bidder was an alliance of Demir Grup Yapı İnşaat A.S. and SKY Investment Group. However Buyukcekmece residents are furious at the agreement and they publicly denoted municipality, accusing the officers for not serving their people but for seeking rent. They also stressed that the sale is neither comprehensible nor legitimate while there are several court cases against the park sale under way, yet they are still pending. Activist shared their opinions on social media recently: "The Municipality intended to hamper our right cause by cutting down all the trees in there, the fight goes on. We'll rush to the park whenever we hear construction machines show up. There is no excuse as 'It is sold. That is it'.

How does our childcare safety regulations compare to other states?
Written by: Dev Gowda
Recalled children's products
The danger: According to a Kids In Danger (KID) report, from 2005-2014 recalled children's products caused at least 2,464 injuries and 57 deaths. There are more than enough sad stories of children who lost their lives to a recalled product in their child care. With a simple rule change, many states have sought to make sure your children are safe.
Where does Illinois stand? Recalled products are banned for use in childcare facilities.
Other states that ban recalled products: Louisiana, New Jersey and Texas
Some states that allow them: Delaware, Georgia, Indiana and Nevada
The danger: There is hardly a risk that walkers don't pose to infants. It allows infants to get into things they normally can't reach—countertops and stairs are dangerously tempting for youngsters in walkers—which leads to poison, fall and impact hazards. Then there are the development delays—babies who use walkers can take longer to learn to walk and stand on their own.
Where does Illinois stand? Walkers are banned for use in childcare facilities.
Other states that ban walkers: Alaska, Arizona, Iowa and Rhode Island
Some states that allow them: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware and Florida
Crib bumper pads
The danger: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that everyone remove crib bumpers from their children's cribs. Bumpers pose a suffocation, strangulation and fall hazard and have been linked to dozens of infant deaths. Some states have taken this warning to heart and set down rules to protect your children.
Other states that ban crib bumper pads: Alabama, Connecticut, Montana and Wisconsin
Some states that allow them: Florida, Iowa, New York and South Dakota

Why you Need to Step Outside your Comfort Zone
Category // Blog
Date Posted // March 22, 2019
It's good to be back. My apologies for missing the last blog: as Castle MD Kerry Hope will have explained, I was in Inverness – a mere 600 miles from the Arctic Circle…
Kerry's post was about the speech she gave for International Women's Day, and the key takeaways from that speech. Many of you know Kerry – and you know that she's committed, confident, decisive and determined. And her speech for IWD reflected all that and – according to the reports – was a huge success.
What you don't know is that the speech took Kerry a long way outside her comfort zone. I've watched her present to the Castle team any number of times. But a formal, 'set occasion' speech is something very different. As the old joke has it, the number one fear in the USA is public speaking: the number two fear is death. Most Americans would rather be in the casket than delivering the eulogy…
At some stage in our lives virtually all of us will need to make a speech. But public speaking is a long way from the only thing that takes us outside our comfort zone. Many of you know that I'm a farmer's wife: if you want to be really outside your comfort zone, try delivering a calf at three o'clock in the morning…
So let's talk about that this week – comfort zones, not calves. Because I think going outside your comfort zone is an essential part of a successful business. There's no question that taking people well beyond what they previously thought possible has played a huge part in our success at Castle.
I think it can do the same for every business.
Let me rewind the clock five years. When Kerry arrived at Castle she was way outside her comfort zone. She'd gone from managing a team of 50 to a team that was measured in single figures – and she'd committed to living in Scarborough. But, as Don Juan famously says, 'A warrior sees everything as a challenge. An ordinary man sees everything as a blessing or a curse.'
Well, Kerry's certainly a warrior and she certainly saw the opportunity at Castle as a challenge – and she was determined that all the team would see it as a challenge as well.
So it wasn't just Kerry that was outside her comfort zone: it was all of us. And five years later the results speak for themselves. A team that was in single figures is now up to 42. Consultants who didn't know if they could succeed on a local level are now winning national awards.
Over those five years it has been my pleasure and privilege to watch the Castle team pushing themselves to achieve things they hadn't previously thought possible. And as I've watched, I've learned some lessons. Here are five of them:
It's never as bad as you think it's going to be
Whether it's a speech, a presentation, a new client… It's never as tough as you think it will be. People are, in the main, supportive. They want you to do well. Yes, we all suffer from stage fright (whether the audience is one person or 100 people) but – as Kerry said in her speech – commit to it 100% and afterwards you'll say, 'What was I worrying about?'
No-one is paying that much attention
When you're scared, nervous or outside your comfort zone you feel that the whole world is watching. Trust me, they're not. They have better things to do – and their own demons to worry about.
New challenges benefit every aspect of your life
I've seen it countless times. Whether it is a physical challenge for one of our charity events or simply a new challenge at work, achieving something you'd previously considered impossible boosts every area of your life. Over the last five years so many of the Castle team have grown not just professionally, but personally as well.
Failure is rare
People rarely fail. They don't always get the result they want, but they always learn. Every time you step outside your comfort zone you succeed in one way or another. It may not be the way you expected, but every time you push your own boundaries you'll see more and more ways in which you can grow.
Even if you only attempt it…
Remember, that if you only attempt something outside your comfort zone you are already ahead of 99% of the population. Walking or running – plenty of people in the Castle team will be doing the Race for Life again this year – may not come naturally. You may feel that you are going very, very slowly. But rest assured that you are going a lot faster than the people on the couch watching Gogglebox.
You know, what often holds us back from trying something – from going outside our own comfort zone – is our ego. But just remember this: there are no bones to break in an ego. How long your ego takes to heal depends only on your attitude…

Precision Agriculture
The use of autonomous drones for precision agriculture increases crop yields by identifying problems that are not visible to the naked eye. Our custom-built agricultural drone allows us to deploy and photograph fields using multispectral cameras. By processing these images with specialist software, slight variations are made more visible, which when combined with ground truthing allows our clients to identify problems with irrigation, fertilizer distribution & plant health.
GPS assisted drone photography allows us to deliver highly accurate maps, allowing for pinpoint accuracy in identifying problem areas.
A Game Changer for Agribusiness
Agricultural drones represent a new and much faster way to collect field data. The most compelling reason for using agriculture drones is that data is on-demand; whenever and wherever needed, agricultural drones can be easily deployed to gather up-to-the-minute information. These crop drones in the growing fields today are back-of-the-truck equipment, bringing advanced growers crucial information faster than ever before.
Agricultural drones permit better-than-satellite information on demand. Analyzing images with Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) algorithms yields extremely accurate crop mapping, all without pilots, planes or satellites. Multiple sensor studies produce perfectly focused data, too, as RGB, red edge, near infrared and other spectral analysis tools can reveal crop health and maturity, soil moisture and environmental stress when and as required.
Especially in comparison with flight operations, agricultural drones provide highly specialized and detailed data at a significant cost savings, allowing operations to expand monitoring and analysis in a big way. Notably, drone operation has also become fairly simple thanks to self-guided flight. Current drone models are proving sturdy and reliable in the field as well, making them easy to integrate into the crop-scouting workflow. Field missions become highly time efficient, too, as agricultural drones are "launch and forget" tools, allowing management to multitask while the drone works on a robotic program.
A simplified process:
Initial Survey
Defining the edges of each field for the drone nav system by GPS is the basis for every operation. Once done, flight parameters are uploaded to the drone via wireless link. Surveys are only required for the first flight and are saved to the on-board system.
The agricultural drone launches and executes the full survey flight automatically, returning to the start point to land.
After a round of flights, upload the information for data processing.
Within hours, you'll get an email alert; your results are available for viewing and download.
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) algorithms yield extremely accurate crop mapping when combined with Powerful Software such as Pix4D

Airscope has enormous pride in it's relentless pursuit of the best technology available.

Model I TRSDOS Commands
The Model I TRSDOS command shell supported a number of internal commands, as documented by the TRSDOS 2.3 Reference Manual. Most of the commands were also supported by other TRS‑80 operating systems, although they usually added extra features beyond the TRSDOS versions.
TRSDOS for the Model I
TRSDOS, referred to as DOS in some early references, was Radio Shack's official disk operating system for the Model I. The name stood for Tandy Radio Shack Disk Operating System. It was bundled with Radio Shack's floppy disk upgrade, but it could also be purchased separately.

So, I haven't really posted a lot about this, but I am definitely in the thick of training for my 70.3 in September. (If you like reading about the details of other people's workouts (I do) I post all of mine on dailymile.) It kind of feels like I live at my gym.
Saturday morning we drove out to ride part of the race's bike course.This was my first time driving on E470 and I really wish someone had videoed Chris and I trying to figure out how the tolls work, because there are little toll booth like things with big signs that say DO NOT STOP, and the lanes are just labeled "Express Pay" and "License Plate Toll." Totally not helpful. We're like, So…will we pay these when we register our car next year? Surely they won't mail us a bill for $1.25, right? I missed the exit…how do you turn around on a toll road? I DON'T KNOW! As a household of bicycle commuters, sometimes we get really mixed up when it comes to cars.
Back to the purpose for our visit, though. I have read about the crazy hills at the beginning and end of this course and I wanted to see what I was dealing with.
Expectations adjusted accordingly. I only rode 14 miles but it took over an hour since I was in my granny gear going up and clutching the breaks for dear life going down. You can kind of see the hills in the back of this photo of me, but yowsers.
This is what I rode yesterday:
This is the profile for the whole course:
For such a flat city, they sure do know how to find hills for races.
The road itself here is a much smoother ride, but to stay out of traffic we were riding mostly on the shoulder with all it's bumps and debris. I assume I will be able to spend more time in the road during the race, and I hope that will make me feel less like I'm about to fly off my bike and into the air at any moment on the downhills.
The uphills felt okay. I forgot my cycling gloves, and my hands and wrists were killing me, otherwise we'd have ridden further.
I have nine weeks left until the race, and I hope to make it out to this course several more times and ride the entire thing at least twice. I'm starting to get excited. For the race, to get my life back, and for the bragging rights.

A broker who cuts through complexity for clients
Most 28-year-olds are just starting to get into the groove of their adult careers, but not Allen M. Nieves. As vice president of operations for Crystal Financial Insurance Services, Nieves is in his ninth year in the benefits broker industry.
He started selling insurance seven years ago at the age of 21, thanks to working at an agency owned and operated by his mother. And because of his young age, he hit the ground running to prove that he was more than the son of the shop's owner.
"I took it upon myself to become more knowledgeable than anyone else in my field by constantly researching laws, trends, and products for each market I sold in. After one minute of speaking with me, my clients are put at ease knowing they are in good hands," he says. His current book of business is approximately $4 million in premium.
Along with selling individual health coverage, he helps small businesses near the firm's South Windsor, Conn., office set up their employee health plans.
When not at his desk, Nieves can be found in his car traveling to the small businesses or clients' homes. "Whichever is best or easiest for the clients," he says.
"Sometimes I'll go out to the business site and break down the plan but some people like to do everything over the phone especially if it is one or two people. It's easier for them to work that way," he says.
And much like the way that Nieves dove into the industry to learn every aspect of his brokerage business, the Central Connecticut State University graduate says the best part of his job is sharing his knowledge with his clients. In short, he relishes the opportunity to cut through the complexity and help them make the right decisions for their small business health plans.
"Just actually being able to help people with so much that's overly complicated and being able to simplify these items for them to understand it [is rewarding]. Then you give them the relief of not having to worry about this. They can push that on me and I can take care of it for them," he says.
Needless to say, his boss is a big supporter of Nieves'. "Allen has achieved at his young age what most advisers don't over their entire career. He continuously educates himself to keep up with the changing environment and is able to shift with each change that comes our way. He takes the time with his clients to educate them based on their needs, which has led to an abundance of repeat business and referrals," says Jennifer Lovett, president and CEO of Crystal Financial Insurance Services.
"His assistance with the training of our advisors and the Connecticut broker community has earned him respect in Connecticut's insurance industry," Lovett adds. "He has never looked for recognition, but working sometimes 16-hour days and weekends to make sure his clients are taken care of, and many times for zero commission, he is definitely deserving."
In the next five years, Nieves hopes to grow his business portfolio and add to his certifications for selling other forms of insurance coverage.
"I am not sure about opening up more locations but I am looking for a more diversified book of business," he says, adding, "That's what I am working on now — making sure I have clientele in multiple markets."
He adds, "I am actually looking to get my life insurance license in the next couple of months so that I am pretty much a one-stop shop."

A more shotgun-able version of a late night staple
Via Foodbeast
Yeah, I'll eat that.
I'm borderline addicted to internet cooking videos.
This is NOT THE SAME as my university food service's practice of having pizza one day, and the next day offering "sausage pizza soup".
I would like that in my mouth, please.
I might have to make this on Saturday night instead of being social. Who needs to be social when you have melted cheese soup?
Truer words have never been spoken.
This reminds me of this…(buzzfeed sorry)

We are REALLY excited about this project!! Having sat vacant and boarded up for almost 10 years now, this house has been considered one of the biggest eyesores in the neighborhood. But no more!!!
Here's a little history as to how it got to that point and a recap of the renovation.
The lady who used to live here passed away many years ago and her family inherited the property. They live out-of-state so as you can imagine, it was hard for them to get here to check on the house.
>>Interesting Tidbit: This house sits diagonally across the street from the very first house that Heather bought and lived in over 15 years ago. She knew the lady who lived there and would visit with her on the front porch dreaming of what the yard could look like with a little TLC.
The family came down in 2007 (I believe) and tried to fix up the house to sell it. Again, they don't live around here so didn't realize that they weren't allowed to tear out the original windows (to replace them) since Hampton Heights is in a locally designated historic district. The City stopped their work so they boarded up the house and went home.
Fast forward almost 10 years later and Heather got in touch with the brother who now owns the house and he agreed to sell.
During the spring and summer of 2018, the house went through a full renovation - all new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roof. The kitchen was completely gutted including removing the wall between it and the dining room for a more open concept and the back addition was removed in order to reinstate the original screened-in porch and the addition of a small deck. The back portion of the upstairs also went through a major renovation in order to create a master suite and a second full bathroom. The finished home is 2,555 sq. ft. with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. To those in the neighborhood, the biggest change was to the exterior of the home where the overgrown yard was cleared, original and new windows were installed, a fresh coat of paint freshened up everything and as well as new landscaping. We also added a new two-car parking pad and a beautiful arched wood privacy fence in the back. Many thanks to all of the contractors and others who helped to turn this once eyesore to the prettiest house on the block!

Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc are pleased to announce the release of a short film introducing d2w oxo-biodegradable (controlled-life) plastic technology.
Oxo-biodegradable plastic (OBP) technology is proven science which has been studied, tested and commercially used for more than 3 decades. It does not change the principles of minimisation, reuse or recycling and does not leave microplastics or toxins as a problem for future generations.
OBP can be programmed at manufacture to have a 'service-life' during which time it will behave in exactly the same ways as conventional plastic. In that it is as strong, flexible, lightweight and waterproof and it can be re-used and recycled if collected. However, if it escapes collection and ends up in the open environment, on land or sea. It will degrade and biodegrade in a much, much shorter timescale, leaving nothing behind, in the same way as nature's waste only quicker.
OBP contains an extra ingredient which acts as a catalyst to dismantle the molecular structure of the polymer. The material is then no longer a plastic and becomes a food source for microorganisms ubiquitous in terrestrial and marine environments.
OBP – The Facts
- growing legislation requiring OBP
- compatible with most types of plastic packaging
- can be recycled and made with recyclate
- harmlessly biodegrades in the open environment on land or sea
- demonstrates clear benefits in Life Cycle Assessments
- can be made right now in existing factories at little or no extra cost
OBP is an upgrade to conventional plastic, achieved by adding d2w at only 1%. It is a major improvement as plastic packaging is currently indispensable in everyday life.
The world uses approximately 320 million tons of plastic each year, and most of this could be made now with OBP technology. If this were done, the damage caused by plastic litter in the environment could be gradually and safely resolved. 80% of the plastic waste finding its way into the oceans of the world originates on land. Less plastic accumulating on land, means less plastic able to find its way into the marine environment.
d2w is a pragmatic way to reduce plastic litter. It offers an insurance policy that if plastic packaging does escape into the environment it will not be there for decades as a problem for future generations. It also gives shopkeepers and consumers the best product for the job, without the environmental baggage associated with it.
The Film can be seen on the Symphony website at:
http://www.symphonyenvironmental.com/oxo-biodegradable-controlled-life-plastic-role-protecting-environment/ .
About Symphony Environmental Technologies plc
Symphony has developed and continues to develop, controlled-life plastic technology which helps tackle the problem of microplastics by turning ordinary plastic at the end of its service-life into biodegradable materials. It is then no longer a plastic and can be bioassimilated in the open environment in the same way as a leaf. The technology is branded d2w® and appears as a droplet logo on many thousands of tonnes of plastic packaging and other plastic products around the world. In some countries oxo-biodegradable plastic is now mandatory.
For a video of d2w® plastic degrading see http://www.symphonyenvironmental.com/time-lapse-film-d2w-bag-degrading/
For information explaining why starch-based plastic technology is the wrong choice for dealing with litter see http://www.biodeg.org/biobased.html
In addition, Symphony has developed a range of additives and master-batches marketed under its d2p® brand, which can be incorporated in a wide variety of plastic and non-plastic products so as to give them protection against many different types of bacteria, fungi, algae, moulds, insects and fire.
Symphony has also developed the d2Detector®, a portable device which analyses plastics and detects counterfeit products. This is very useful to government officials tasked with enforcing legislation. Symphony's d2t tagging and tracer technology is also available for further security. See www.d2t.net
Symphony has a diverse and growing customer-base and has established itself as an international business with 74 distributors around the world. Products made with Symphony's plastic technologies are now available in nearly 100 countries and in many different product applications. Symphony is certified to ISO9001 and ISO14001.
Symphony is a member of The Oxo-biodegradable Plastics Association (www.biodeg.org) (OPA), the Society for the Chemical Industry (UK), and the Pacific Basin Environmental Council, and the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council. Symphony participates in the Committee work of the British Standards Institute (BSI), the American Standards Organisation (ASTM), the European Standards Organisation (CEN), and the International Standards Organisation (ISO).
The OPA has published an informative document about oxo-biodegradable plastic and the role it can play in reducing plastic litter: See http://www.symphonyenvironmental.com/wp-content/uploads/flipbook/1/mobile/index.html

Hello Lovelies.
So the very brilliant UK blogger Frankie a.k.a frankiefancies has nominated me to the Liebster award. Frankie posts about health, beauty, food and the things that go on in her life. I'll leave a link below so please go check her out and share some love with a like or comment on her posts! x
So for today's post I'm going to be answering some fun personal questions so you can get a better idea of who I am 🙂
Let's get started!
What are the top 3 things on your bucketlist?
- Before I turn 30 I would like to write and publish a novel.
- To live in New York
- To create a podcast
Who is your biggest inspiration and why?
Lena Dunham. This is a more recent inspiration but when I read this question she was the first person who popped into my head. I love it when women make things happen for themselves. Independence is something very important to me. I don't like relying on other people. I firmly believe that if you want something you need to make it happen for yourself and you have to make yourself happy, not to rely on others for happiness. Lena has done so much that inspires me. She's written and published a novel. She is the creator of the hot U.S show 'Girls' and a podcast called 'Women of the hour' in which she interviews different influential female friends and relatives of her.
Dunham has also played an active role in the modern feminist movement. She pushes the idea not that women are better than men but that we are just as good as them (equality my friends not superiority). I would love to meet her. She's such an intelligent funny human and if I could have anyone at a dinner party for example she would definitely be top of the list. I can only hope to achieve half of her success by the time I'm 30 🙂
Why did you start blogging and what is your favourite thing about it?
As I said I love blogging because of the social aspect to it.To the outside world it can on the surface seem like a very lonely hobby but you and I both know this not to be true. I get such a kick when I see people commenting on my posts and chatting with you. I enjoy meeting people all over the world and sharing thoughts and interests.
I started this blog because I was in college with no job and I was quite lonely and fed up. I felt like I didn't really have many people to talk to or anything to really do. So I thought hey I love writing why not share the many thoughts and opinions I have. And here we are 6 months later. I may not have many posts but I'm definitely proud of my little part of the internet, I'm definitely not going anywhere just yet so stay tuned for more!
What's the weirdest thing about you?
I'm a bit of a germaphobe. I don't share drinks with anyone not even family. I don't share food off plates. I hate public toilets. I always carry sanitiser. I HATE burps and farts so no I do not do either of those and hate it when I'm around people and they do either.
and yes my family and friends do think I'm nutty. 😀
What is your favourite thing to do in your spare time?
Pinterest! I could scroll for hours searching outfit inspo and Diy's.
What is your dream career?
A writer either for a magazine or a novelist.
What annoys you?
People who have no manners. Yes I know I sound like such a granny 😀 But seriously I like people to be polite with good etiquette.
What are your short-term goals?
To dedicate myself more to developing my blog, posting more. Hopefully I'll set up a facebook and snapchat soon also. I've recently gained weight and become quite unfit so by the end of the summer I would really like to get healthy again 😀 And most importantly, get my drivers license!
What are your long-term goals?
To come out of college with a 2.1 or 1.1 degree. To move out into my own place. To travel to the west coast of America, I've seen the east coast so now I wanna see the other side. I also want to go to Iceland, Italy, India, gosh so many more. To volunteer overseas. To intern at a magazine or newspaper.
If you could be anyone else for a day who would you be?
Anna Wintour. I'm a fashion lover. I want to know what's like to be such an influential figure in the industry and be the editor of a hugely successful fashion magazine, well more like THE fashion magazine.
Who makes you happiest.
While I do always say you create your own happiness, there is one person that whenever I'm usually not in a bad mood for too long. That would be my cousin, Kate. There is only 11 months between us and we have been very close since we were tiny. We always seem to have a good ole laugh about something.
And that concludes the questions. I've probably gone into more detail than was necessary and rambled a bit but sure that's typical me! 🙂
Thank you so much to Frankiefancies for the nomination!
It was definitely fun but also a little hard to do. You'd think it'd be easy to answer these but some definitely required some thought.
And my nominees are…drumroll please……..
- Floralesque blog
- Sophie Samantha blog
- Rachel holly blog
- Cliona Hill blog
- Tu es Belle blog
Each of these ladies have very impressive and stunning blogs so definitely go and check them out, links below!
And here are my questions for them. 🙂
- What was the idea behind your blog's name?
- What 5 people would you invite to a dinner party, dead or alive?
- What is your favourite item of clothing?
- Who inspires you and why?
- What is something embarrassing that you have done or has happened to you?
- What would your biography be called?
- What are 3 things you want to achieve by the time you're 30?
- Three words that best describe your personality/life?
- What is your biggest pet peeve/hate?
- If you could re-create any movie scene what would it be?
Thanks so much again to Frankie for nominating me. I think this is a really fun way to get to know more bloggers, share the love around by helping each other out promoting one another's blogs and also to allow our readers to get to know us better.
Happy Reading!
-G xo.
P.s I did leave out the facts part because this was already very long, I'll do it separately.

X-CYCLONE Mini Separator made with 3D printing.
REVEN GmbH published the first pictures of their new X-CYCLONE Mini Separator in March 2018. After two years of development, REVEN GmbH can introduce a separator with the following innovations:
1.) The separator will now be produced in plastic as well as in metal, in 3D printing.
2.) The separator could be reduced to the previous system in all three dimensions by 50%, so that the separator currently comes only to a thickness of 22mm.
3.) Thanks to intensive analysis and development by CFD systems, it has been possible to increase the efficiency of the separation in the PM5 aerosol size range by about 20%, with the same pressure loss.
The attached pictures show the first X-CYCLONE mini separators in the dimension 200x200x22mm, produced in 3D printing, in aluminum, stainless steel as well as plastic.

It´s difficult to keep up with myself!
Early this morning the kitchens for The Old Hospital were delivered. And what a morning! No fog, the sun was shining from early on. After the kids were sent to school, I met with the others at The Old Hospital to get all the stuff inside. The kitchens are heavily sponsored by the kitchen manufacturer, meaning we got them at a very, very fair price. It took us two hours to get all the items up and in. Since the elevator is not working (we cannot afford to get it approved) we borrowed at fork lift and used that for lifting the items up, pallet by pallet. My job was to load the items onto the pallet and help unloading upstairs. Quite a lot of running up and down the stairs.
When almost done, I got a call from one of the recruiters I work with on LinkedIn. He had wonderful news! The Offshore Dept. of siemens Gamesa in Vejle had been looking at my CV and were interested. He just called me again and tomorrow at 9am I´m going to a job interview! Fortunately for me, there haven´t been many applicants, so instead of trying to hiring in by themselves, they let a recruiter do the job. So now I need to get prepared – and try not to get too nervous!
So wish me luck – I´ll get the answer early next week. Hopefully it´ll be a big YES!
