The FSC certified and state-owned company Sveaskog is planning to log an old-growth spruce forest with high conservation values in the municipality of Arjeplog, northern Sweden. The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC) and Maskaure Sami village have written a joint letter to Sveaskog stating: "Sveaskog's lack of timber is so massive that even an old-growth forest above the mountain forest region is planned for logging". Here is the letter from Björn Mildh and Johanna Nilsson from SSNC and Leif Lundberg from Maskaure Sami village:
"Dear Anette and Fredrik,
Sveaskog repeatedly assures that they always carry out a thorough and competent assessment of a forest's conservation values before logging. Despite this, Sveaskog is planning to log an old-growth forest due to the current large lack of timber, a forest which is above the mountain forest region. The old-growth spruce forest at Guossavare is situated in the reindeer grazing land of Maskaure Sami village. Coordinates (Sweref 99): N 7303048; E 631911. These pictures were taken in August 2019:http://www.norrbotten.snf.se/wordpress/sveaskog-har-avverkningsplanerat-en-fjallnara-granurskog/
It is not suprising that Sveaskog consequently refuses to openly show its assessments with conservation values as it already has classified an old-growth spruce forest as a production forest and already has removed all undergrowth in it. A presentation of the assessment would reveal all its embarrassing faults. Even the Swedish Forest Agency's approval to clear-cut this mountain forest has been a mere formality. The Maskaure Sami village is dependent on intact reindeer pastures in the forest but these needs are ignored, although the reindeer industry is classified as a national interest in Sweden.
Time and again Sveaskog has overrun Sweden's indigenous population - the Sami. The forest company's demand for timber always comes first. Sveaskog also uses the FSC certification to legitimize its infringements and its lack of transparency. Prevailing problems inevitably lead to conflicts and "a never-ending fight", even Sveaskog should be able to comprehend this fact. Sveaskog - please make improvements.
Best regards,
Björn Mildh, member of the Swedish Society of Nature Conservation Leif Lundberg, Maskaure Sami villageJohanna Nilsson, member of the Swedish Society of Nature Conservation, Luleå"

A new briefing paper by The Oakland Institute brings forward evidence that the Norwegian forestry and carbon credit company, Green Resources, evicted villagers around their tree plantation in Kachung, Uganda. The Swedish Energy Agency purchases carbon credits from Green Resources. The establishment of the large-scaleplantation on land previously used by subsistence farmers has resulted in loss of land, livelihoods and created an on-going food security crisis for the local villagers.
The Swedish Energy Agency reports to Swedish TV4 (in writing) that it considers Green Resources to be compliant to the Agency's reform demands for the local villagers.
Green Resources also has new majority shareholders, the public development institutions of Norway and Finland - Norfund and Finnfund - which rescued it from bankruptcy in July 2018. These institutions are aware of the land grab, yet continue to finance the project despite Green Resources' abuse against the communities at Kachung.
Oakland Institute releases company documents in its briefing paper - including letters showing that villagers have been evicted fom the plantations.
The briefing paper also exposes the complicity of the international certification body Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) which is supposed to verify the company's compliance with environmental and social standards. The FSC audit report from 2016 has omitted the impact of the land grab despite of an ongoing lawsuit where the villagers in Kachung sued Green Resources and the National Forest Authority.
Frédéric Mousseau, Policy Director of the Oakland Institute, said in a press release (Oakland Institute):
"Based on flawed audits, the accreditation Green Resources received from the certification agencies calls into question their commitment to social and environmental standards. In the name of fighting climate change, they claim that a large-scale plantation of non-native pine trees, which are to be cut and sold as timber, is preferable to subsistence activities of African farmers. As thousands of Ugandan villagers struggle to survive after the loss of their land and natural resources to the plantation, the institutions and government agencies that enable Green Resources to operate must be held accountable for their wrongdoings and their complicity in this land grab."
"Beyond the need for accountability, that such a flawed project could run with the backing of three European governments, several international bodies, and specialized private auditing firms, raises serious questions around the true motives of these institutions as well as the purpose and the functioning of the whole carbon economy," Mousseau concluded.

In year 2030, 30 per cent of the aviation fuel in Sweden will come from bioenergy, according to an investigation made by the Swedish politician Maria Wetterstrand (Green Party) and financed by the Swedish Energy Agency. The investigation disregards CO2 emissions from bioenergy and promotes increased clear-cutting of forests. Right now, many of the last unprotected natural forests in Sweden are being clear-cut.
Wetterstrand's investigation suggests that the amount of bioenergy blended in Swedish fuel will increase successively from year 2021 to reach 100% bioenergy by year 2045. At the same time more and more scientists warn about the negative effects caused by bioenergy. But the Swedish forest industry and the Swedish government are not listening to this important message. Both Protect the Forest and Biofuelwatch have informed the Swedish government about the negative effects concerning bioenergy but have received no response. Protect the Forest proclaims that Wetterstrand's investigation is a disappointment and that it gives the wrong signals.
According to Protect the Forest the government in Sweden must ensure that the aviation decreases and that the government promotes a greater investment in trains. Clear-cutting of boreal forests and increased aviation is worsening the global climate by adding more CO2 to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the investigation comes to the opposite conclusion, stating that replacing fossil fuels with bioenergy will lead to less CO2 in the future.
In Sweden many politicians and others advocate that residues from clear-cuttings can be used as bioenergy and they believe that the residues merely consist of branches and tops of trees. But the fact is that 10% of the bioenergy from Swedish forests consists of whole logs. The risk is that unprotected natural forests will be felled to be used as biofuel. Many such forests are unprotected today and are already being felled which is harming the biodiversity.
The Swedish government is not paying attention to the scientists although 800 international scientists have warned about bioenergy from forests. The CO2 which is let out during the clear-cutting of boreal forests may take a century to accumulate again.
Protect the Forest reckons that a higher efficiency in the use of electricity is required, that the consumption and manufacture of paper must decrease and that products from forests and other nature-resources must decrease massively. All remaining natural forests must be protected, not cut-down. There must also be a drive for recycling and restoration of forests.
The state-owned forestry company Sveaskog, is going to log several natural forests with high conservation values in the county of Västerbotten, near Sorsele. There are two planned loggings of 20 and 21 hectares in a wetland near Abmobäcken 15 kilometres south of Sorsele. There are several planned loggings, totally 45 hectares, at Stormyran 15 kilometres east of Sorsele. At Abmoberg, 15 kilometres south of Sorsele Sveaskog has already logged 11,5 hectares of old natural forest, in spite of protests from several NGOs.
The area which is planned to be logged near Abmobäcken consists of natural pine forest with myres, wetlands, small islands and ridges which are important environments for birds and amphibians. Erland Lindblad and Jonas Nordenström from the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC) in Sorsele have visited the forest and sent a letter to Sveaskog. They write: "The varied landscape is divided into small to very small forest areas which make us wonder whether it will be possible for Sveaskog to leave sufficient zones of forest along the edges of the water. Logging the forest will most probably seriously disturb the water balance and even the small lakes' ecosystem. We suggest that Sveaskog stops the planned clear-cuttings and instead take the necessary measures to conserve this valuable area."
It is important to save zones of forest along the edges of water because the zones provide protection against some of the negative effects caused by clear-cuts. According to the forestry law protective zones of forest should always remain along water. But there are many examples of companies ignoring this, here is one such example.
A field visit was carried out by SSNC in the beginning of August. 19 species which are of conservation interest were found, 12 of these species are red-listed, such as the fungi Antrodia albobrunnea (VU) and Cinereomyces lenis (VU). These fungi live on wood often in untouched pine forests with high conservation values where there is a long continuity of course woody debris from pine in several stages of degradation. In many places in the forest there are old spruce trees with the fungus Pseudographis pinicola (NT). Pseudographis pinicola is dependent on a high level of humidity in old and undisturbed forests. If the trees are clear-cut, the whole environment around them will change and these species will disappear. In the area there is also capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus), grouse (Tetrastes bonasia) and whooper swan (Cygnus cygnus). Three birds which are prioritized species according to the forest law.
In the wetlands and natural forest complex of Stormyran – Holmmyran – Ardnasåjvvie, 15 kilometres east of Sorsele, there are four planned loggings. These areas consist of old spruce forest which is surrounded by myres. In the letter to Sveaskog SSNC writes:"In 2017 we noted that the red-listed fungi Antrodia infirma (EN) exists in the area. This fungi is bound to old-growth spruce forest. A recommendation from The Swedish Species Information Centre is that old forests with Antrodia infirma should be excluded from forestry and left undisturbed for free development."
In spite of this, 45 hectares are still planned for logging where the red-listed species are. In the beginning of August members from SSNC visited the area. They found the purple coloured fungus Skeletocutis lilacina (VU) growing on course woody debris of a spruce. In the letter to Sveaskog, they write that this rare fungus has only been noted six times in Sweden previously. The findings of Skeletocutis lilacina and of Skeletocutis chrysella (VU) in both the middle and northern part of the forest indicate that the whole area is of importance in a landscape perspective and should not be logged. Erland Lindblad states:"Although the fungus Skeletocutis chrysella is growing in several places in the forest, and not to speak of Skeletocutis lilacina- a fungus which hardly has been found in Sweden before, the Swedish Forest Agency answers:'Sveaskog has already planned to leave enough consideration by following the forestry law. What we can do is see if we can re-prioritize some of the area but we cannot ask for more beyond that.'"
SSNC emphasizes that there is a rich occurrence of traces on the trees from the Eurasian three-toed woodpecker (Picoides tridactylus) (NT). According to SSNC more clear-cuts will fragment the forest and in doing so damage the long-term survival of the woodpecker. "We suggest that Sveaskog drops the logging plans and takes the necessary measures so that these valuable forests are conserved for the future" There is a large unfragmented natural forest at Abmoberget, 15 kilometres south of Sorsele. Now Sveaskog has clear-cut 11.5 hectars in the northern part of Abmoberg although several environmental NGOs have requested Sveaskog not to log this forest or other parts of Abmoberg. There are now several planned clear-cuts there. Erland Lindblad says:"It is so sad that they can't even let the last unfragmented forests be untouched."
Abmoberg is one of the last large unfragmented forests in Västerbotten below the mountain forest region. From north to south one can walk 8 kilometres through unbroken forest with myres, small lakes and sub-alpine terrain. The forest has no impact from modern forestry and parts of it can be considered as old-growth forest. The oldest pine is 420 years and the oldest spruce is 497 years. East, west, south and now even north of Abmoberg there are large clear-cut areas.
Brussels, 18 June 2019
The European Commission has called for Member States to be more transparent about bioenergy use in their final National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs). This underlines their current alarming lack of openness on the issue.
In the EU's press conference today, Commissioner Cañete emphasised the gap in collective progress towards achieving the EU's renewable energy target. He did not mention the importance of the policies and measures which will help achieve the target. Bioenergy currently provides more than 65 per cent of the EU's renewable mix and is projected to continue increasing until 2030. This poses significant threats to nature, people and the climate, while seriously hampering the efficient use of limited resources.
"The Commission has mentioned a lack of transparency in reporting on bioenergy. The lack of information on the source of biomass poses a serious threat to biodiversity whilst the failure of Member States to address the overall volume of biomass used for energy production could undermine EU climate ambitions. Member States need to address these gaps in their final NECPs," Luke Edwards from Birdlife Europe said.
Despite the grave threats from increased biomass use, NGOs' initial analysis of the draft NECPs concludes that there is a major compliance gap. They fail to provide information on bioenergy, such as clear trajectories, the origin of biomass and its impacts on forests and land use, air quality and forest carbon sinks (Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF)).
"These national plans are vital if we are to hold countries to account for the negative impacts of using more biomass to produce energy. Impacts include reducing forests' ability to mitigate climate change", said Kelsey Perlman from Fern NGO.
"Despite clear requirements, Member States have not provided enough information to show the impact of their choices. Already we know that by 2030, five out of the EU's six most forested countries will be less able to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This is a disaster for the climate", Perlman added.
It is clear from the information provided so far that some Member States are planning a sharp increase in bioenergy use, but they do not say where the biomass will come from. Increasing reliance on biomass imports is problematic because its puts pressure on land use and forests globally.
"EU Member States cannot continue to plan to increase their reliance on bioenergy when they have no concept of where it will come from or what its environmental impacts are. Year after year, on-the-ground investigations show a disturbing pattern: European energy giants burn wood harvested from native hardwood forests in global biodiversity hotspots, such as the U.S. Southeast," said Sasha Stashwick from US NGO National Resources Defence Council (NRDC).
"Writing a blank cheque for more electricity from forest biomass without the required impact assessment risks increasing carbon emissions to the atmosphere for decades and diverts scarce resources from genuine zero-emission technologies, such as solar and wind."
"Some of the plans submitted by Member States still show a strong dependency on food-based biofuels, which have very negative climate and environmental impacts due to land use change. The Commission has missed an opportunity and should encourage Member States to focus on cleaner and more sustainable energy sources for transport whilst eliminating their reliance on crop biofuels." Cristina Mestre from Transport and Environment said.
Following recommendations from the European Commission, EU Member States now have to step up the ambition of their climate plans so as to commit to reaching climate and energy targets. They must also disclose information about their underlying policies and measures such as those related to bioenergy.

You Switch may not last longer than a viewing of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
Nintendo revealed during its streamed event today that its new system will only have 2.5 to 6 hours of battery life when separated from its TV and charging dock. Nintendo noted that the battery life will change depending on what game you're playing.
Battery life was always a concern for the system. While being able to play console games on-the-go is cool, it'll be taxing for a portable device to play a modern game without chugging energy. Six hours doesn't sound awful, but 2.5 hours is a bit short. However, you can still play the system while it's charging, so you can always keep it going with an external battery.
This is also not that much shorter than the battery life of the New Nintendo 3DS XL portable, which lasts from 3.5 to 7 hours.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump will award the Medal of Honor to a Navy SEAL who oversaw a daring 2002 assault and rescue mission on a snowy Afghanistan mountaintop.
The White House says Trump will present the award this month to Master Chief Special Warfare Operator Britt K. Slabinski, who was leading a reconnaissance team that came under fire.
The White House says Slabinski "boldly rallied" his team and organized "a daring assault" to rescue a stranded teammate.
It says Slabinski carried a "seriously wounded teammate down a sheer cliff face" while leading "an arduous trek across one kilometre of precipitous terrain, through waist-deep snow while continuing to call fire on the enemy."
The award is given to those who risk their lives and go above and beyond the call of duty.

LONG BEACH, CALIF 29 March 2017 - - Grab your lawn chair and cooler and come on down to the Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier today through Sunday April 2, for the 53rd running of the Congressional Cup regatta!
Storms that dumped record rains on California damaged the pier, initially threatening to deter the hundreds of spectators who come to experience this world-class match racing extravaganza, each year. But the pier is safe and open to pedestrians, announced Chairman Joe Seibert, and set to provide 'old style' viewing of Congressional Cup 2017.
Congressional Cup is one of the longest-running match race regattas in North America, and the second stop on the World Match Racing Tour. Twelve of the world's top ranked teams race, two at a time, in a series of spirited round robins; with the top point winners advancing to semi-finals and finals.
Since 1994 the races have been held inside the Long Beach breakwater, adjacent the Belmont Pier. From this vantage point spectators easily observed from the pier or vessels anchored nearby. It wasn't unusual for fans to gather at pier's end to cheer on the racers, tossing teddy bears and other good luck tokens to their favorite teams. Over time LBYC expanded the pier platform to include bleachers, pop-up tents and sponsor booths, commentators, VIP announcers and more. This carnival-like atmosphere has lured an audience of thousands: hard-core racers wanting to learn more about the thrilling art of match racing; plus novices and landlubbers eager for an entertaining day out.
This year, the City's temporary ban on event permits has limited the yacht club's plans – but not the racing, nor the determination of fans. An undaunted army of Do-It-Yourself spectators is expected to watch the races 'old style' – bringing lawn chairs, umbrellas, sodas and sandwiches. The outer wings are open to the public, while the central patio in front of Buoy's café is restricted to LBYC members and guests. Food and drinks are available for purchase, and there will be live commentary on the pier, plus a scoreboard for keeping track of the action. Races will be held through Sunday April 2 beginning at 11:30AM daily.
The Belmont Pier opened in 1967, replacing the original wooden pier built in 1915, and renovated in 1951. Over 1600 feet long, it has easy access for the disabled, restrooms, lighting and convenient parking.
For more information on Congressional Cup visit www.thecongressionalcup.com; go to www.wmrt.com for details on the Tour.

Wedding on the Bay
Picture this, you're at a wedding standing under the most beautiful sky and the bride and groom look blissfully happy as they exchange their vows. That was the atmosphere for this rustic chic wedding at Celebrations at the Bay. Everything was perfect and the bride was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I remember meeting her for our initial consultation and her insisting on buying me coffee. Everything for this day went perfectly. Natalie Lane Photography really captured this day in such a beautiful way. Enjoy the photos!!!

Local authority parking accounts come under scrutiny every year, and while figures quoted provide a sensational headline they don't tell the true story of Councils parking management.
A Council's parking income comes from a variety of places including fees and charges for using car parks, on-street parking and resident parking schemes. Income from Penalty Charges is also included in Council's published figures. More cars on our roads and a greater demand for parking to be managed inevitably leads to more income being generated.
Why is it wrong for our local authorities and its parking management schemes to charge for parking? I agree that £1Bn is a whopping sum, (Projected estimate of local authority parking accounts by RAC Foundation) but if drivers didn't pay this, then the costs for providing and patrolling, managing and maintaining the parking facilities would have to be paid for by someone else.
There's no such thing as free parking: someone, somewhere is paying for it. Who should pay? Council taxpayers? Business Rate taxpayers? Councils are expected to invest to reduce congestion and pollution from cars, improve accessibility for everyone, including those with disabilities, and a parking surplus is used for all of this and more.
Kelvin Reynolds, BPA Director of Corporate and Public Affairs said "Those who only see a surplus rather than the significant investment into other community services - like public transport, concessionary fares and school buses, all of which helps to reduce congestion and pollution to benefit everyone - are hiding from the truth: Britain needs parking to be properly managed so that our towns and cities and the places where we live and work are accessible to all and not a free for all."
Many councils provide parking annual reports to show parking surplus is spent. Why not uncover the true story of the impact of efficient and effective parking management where you live?

After being stuck at home with a cold for a few days, I finally grabbed Snow White and rushed outside.
I have been really hoping for some snow. I'm used to thinking that you can't have true Christmas photos without snow, but with the weather having been all but snowy for the past few Christmases, I guess it's time to review my perspective.
Luckily, the city has helped bring some jolly spirit to the streets by setting up a Christmas Market.
I prepared some comfy winter clothes for Snow White (and eventually other Barbie sized dolls). She is wearing a sock sweater, which is not overtly Christmassy, but in keeping with the season's colour scheme. I also made her leggings from old leggings of my own. Finally, for a fun touch, I made her mittens on a string with a design stitched to them (to the best of my ability).
The mittens are 'real', but not quite 'functional' – the opening turned out too small to put the doll's hands in them. Nonetheless, I really do find comfort in knowing they are not utterly fake 🙂
I also realize they are to be worn inside the sleeve, but I liked how they look just hanging there 🙂
I really liked the wooden huts. They looked all wintery and festive with the lights and garlands, providing some lovely backgrounds.
Recently, I cleaned my baking supplies drawer and found snowflake sprinkles that have expired sometime in the last ice age. Since they still looked lovely, I thought they would make nice iced cookies for dolls! I wrapped them in plastic and voila! Tasty treats straight from the market:
Apart from the wooden huts selling treats and handicrafts, there was an ice sculpture contest going on in the market square, however, what is the point of ice sculptures if I don't have an Elsa doll? In all seriousness, I decided against going near because of massive crowds of people.
Overall, the Christmas Market was a lot of fun – even though I was too focused on the doll to actually buy anything. I am still hoping for a little bit of snow before all this is all over, and I hope to find the time for a little bit more Christmas themed doll crafts and photos. If you're celebrating, I hope your preparations are going well and the spirit of the season is already in the air 🙂

|Typical Basques ;-)
According to the inhabitants of the fashion capital of Spain, Elorrio, Hanna and her pram is sooooo last season. There's a new pram in town and it is owned by everyone who's anyone in this little Basque town. It's called a Baby Jogger City Mini (no more, no less) and is the only pram which works with the latest hiking boots, fleece jackets, Lycra hill walking trousers and mullets, as displayed by the local fashionistas (for more Basque Fashion).
One of the biggest and most important fashion statements a yummy mummy can have is the pram. So I did not take lightly on researching the most practical, durable and ehrmmm fashionable pram I could find (and afford) before the arrival of Little H. And as Pappa Kas is a man of method and thoroughness he scouted the internet, interviewed friends and read consumer tests. We were talking about an investment buy here, more often used than a Mulberry Bayswater, so we needed to make sure that we took the right choice. And so we thought…
International as we are, we did not end up with one of the Swedish sturdy, solid and snow compatible prams with footbags (whatever that is) but proudly bought a Central European design winner- the Bugaboo.
Overall I am very happy with the pram. It is light, easy to assemble, practical, and if you have to take the bus, it is so small that you can enter at the front of the bus rather than having to shout to the driver: "Open the back door please", only to be ignored and left at the bus stop. The easiness of pushing it in the snow is not to be discussed here, but I can now understand why Scandinavian Design is for Scandinavians and adapted to their (winter)-needs.
The color of the Buggie was a blip though as we bought a chocolate brown one, despite me knowing that it did not match my wellies, my winter parka, my hundred black tunics or cardigans or any other item of clothing a yummy mummy is supposed to have. Well, the Chocolate color works with jeans and my hair-color, so I am one of those trying hard- getting nearly there- but oh so wrong. This seasons gray nail-polish? Don't go there.

Complete Food Perishability
How quickly will your complete foods go bad? Mixed with water and unrefrigerated, a complete food will probably go bad in less than a day; maybe several hours. Mixed with water and refrigerated, it will last at least a day or two. Unmixed with water (in powder form), theoretically a typical recipe, which is dry enough to be a powder, should last around a year. The theory is that dry complete foods can't support microorganisms because there's not enough water, however users in more humid climates will see decreased shelf life due to ambient moisture. The most perishable ingredients in a typical complete food recipe are the oils, which will go rancid. For most oils this takes about a year. For very perishable oils such as flaxseed oil, it should take a few months.
Very little is known about the perishability problem for complete foods, given its relatively short existence so far. To be cautious one should store one's complete food in a cool, dry, dark place, preferably in airtight containers. An extra-cautious step would be to refrigerate one's powdered complete food.

One in the seemingly endless stream of TV reboots is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the extremely popular seven season show based off the film of the same name. Its cult fanbase kept it going long after the show finished as well as supporting it's huge five season spin-off, Angel. It is in development at Fox 21 Studios.
15 years later, this summer, Josh Whedon along with his Agents of Shield co-producer and Midnight, Texas creator, Monica Owusu-Breen who will function as co-creator, showrunner and executive producer are creating a reboot of the classic show.
Wheadon is returning to TV from taking an extremely active role in writing and directing The Avengers' films by returning to this as well as singing on to work on The Nevers on HBO and Pippa Smith: Grown Up Detective on Freeform. Owusu-Breen has worked on Alias, Charmed and Revolution. Gail Berman, Joe Earley, Fran Kazui and Kaz Kazui will also executive produce the show.
As reported on Deadline, whilst the mythology would stay the same, the set-up of it would be very different with the producers saying, "Like our world, it will be richly diverse, and like the original, some aspects of the series could be seen as metaphors for issues facing us all today." This would manifest in having a far more diverse cast as well as having the slayer be black. However, the show is in the early stages and it has been stressed that nothing has been nailed down.
It is not attached to a network but is suspected to start a bidding war. It's original network, WB and Fox 21 Studios, the cable/streaming branch of 20th Century Fox, were put on the map by the original version of the series.

The City's annual budget cycle began this month with a series of budget briefings to outline the needs of each City department for the next fiscal year. Over the next four months, my colleagues and I will be reviewing the administration's funding requests for capital improvement project priorities, such as homeless housing solutions, road repaving, timely responses to potholes, abandoned vehicles and other City services.To complement State legislative proposals for addressing Kakaako private roads issues, I have proposed budget amendments for:
- $125,000 for City acquisition of the portion of Waimanu Street fronting the Imperial Plaza driveway opening onto Waimanu/Dreier Streets to Ward Avenue.
- $10,000 from the City Department of Facility Maintenance budget to repair a storm drain located at the makai/Diamond Head corner of Kawaiahao Street and Cooke Street.
City acquisition of the Waimanu Street segment would assure long-term maintenance for the street, and reduce hazardous traffic conditions involving residents of the 803 Waimanu project and Imperial Plaza crossing paths as they access their entrances at the Drier and Waimanu Street intersection. The storm drain has remained broken since November of last year, and immediate repairs are needed to ensure the safety of area residents and motorists that traverse this area.
The budget bills passed first reading at the March 16th City Council meeting at Honolulu Hale, and will be reviewed during the Special Meeting of the Council's Budget Committee on April 5th at 9:00 am and at subsequent meetings through April-May.

First off, I should say that I don't know a whole lot about submarine warfare (urban warfare is so much cooler). But then again, what percentage of American moviegoers really do? The makers of U-571 obviously felt that the correct way to educate us was to throw together many, many scenes of submariners getting tossed around like rag dolls, interspersed with shots of them glancing upwards, panting, and waiting to get tossed around again.
The story, I guess, was ripped off and refurbished by our beloved Hollywood jackasses to make us feel more patriotic. The plot goes like this: a German WWII submarine is crippled and is limping home somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic. The American Navy knows this and is also aware that the German sub is carrying some sort of code-breaker do-whicky that will help the Americans win the war. They send an American sub to pose as a German re-supply vessel. Oh, and there are only like two people on board the American sub who actually speak German. Somehow they are still convinced that this plan will work.
Ho hum, big surprise, the stupid Germans DO fall for this lame act. Too bad the American sub gets blown to smithereens as the charade is going on. Now our boys are stuck with a German sub to maneuver and have to outwit a whole fleet of Hitler's finest. (A friend I saw the movie with said that, in the real story this movie was adapted from, it was actually the British who pulled this stunt and acquired the code-breaker thing. But I guess Hugh Grant wouldn't have been as exciting to watch as the scintillating Matthew McConaughey).
The rest of the movie involves the shaking and tossing mentioned above. The only effects used were a whole lot of camera bouncing and tilting (think Star-Trek battle scenes), screaming, massive leakages of seawater and lots of explosions. However, you know the American boys aren't really gonna get blown up, or else the movie would immediately cease. I lost count of how many times I prayed that would happen.
Matthew McConaughey delivers a very un-stellar performance, and I have no clue what Harvey Keitel was thinking when he agreed to do this film. Harvey even gets stuck with the worst line in the film. A little sailor boy asks him, "Captain, have you ever been depth-charged?" (by the way, there are about sixteen depth-charge scenes. I guess we are supposed to be continually intrigued by this), to which Keitel answers, "Yeah, once. One came so close that it rattled four teeth right out of the Skipper's head."
Oh, and did I mention Jon Bon Jovi also stars in this thing?
Excuse me, I think I'm gonna go join the other side.

Introduction: How to Build Custom Warhammer Heads
I thought it would be cool to build custom heads for these Warhammer figures and animate them.
Step 1: Materials
This is what you will need to do this instructable.
1. Sculpey
2. Model Warhammer kit
3. Eyes
4. Nuts (small enough to fit where the heads should be).
5. Magnets
6. Exacto Knife
7. Krazy Glue
8. 2 Part Epoxy
9. Tweezers
10. Drill
Step 2: Building the Figure
The first thing you need to do is make the figures. When you buy the figures it comes with an instruction manual and if you don't have one look at my pictures and look to see what to do. You will be using the krazy glue, exacto knife and the tweezers.
1. Cut out the pieces with the exacto knife
2. Glue the body together
3. Glue the legs to the body
4. Glue the shoulder pads to the arms
5. Glue the back pack thing to the body at the back
6. Glue the arms to the body
7. Glue the figure to the little black stand platform
Step 3: Building the Heads
Now you are going to shape the sculpey in some sort of head shape. Now you have a head shape for your figures. start to put in the magnets in the bottom deep enough to almost cover the magnet. When you have the magnet in take it out carefully with something like the tweezers or a tooth pick.
You will need:
1. Sculpey
Step 4: Baking the Heads and Gluing Them
Now you need to bake the heads cause they will harden. put them in for approximately 2:50 minutes and bake for 350 and you can use a toaster oven and a regular oven. Now take your heads and glue eyes on them. Now take the magnet and put it in the impression.
You will need:
1. Krazy Glue
2. Eyes

How was it for you? I'm talking about Christmas trading.
Earlier this week, if newspaper headlines were to be believed, retailers had suffered a pretty torrid time in the run-up to the end of the year – and things hadn't got any better going into 2017.
Then, on Tuesday January 10, the British Retail Consortium and KPMG rode in like knights on white chargers with new statistics. Christmas had been saved. Hurrah!
They said that UK retail sales rose by 1% on a like-for-like basis from December 2015. Shoppers held out for the Christmas week, which saw sales up around 40% compared with the other weeks of the month.
Food sales were the major contributor to total growth, while non-food sales were "sluggish" overall, despite a strong performance by categories driven by gifting items. But hang on a moment. If you're a small, independent gift and home or card retailer, are they really talking about retailers like you?
When it comes to surveys and retail intelligence, the little shops don't get much of a look-in. Polling methodology tends to cover the bigger players who belong to organisations such as the CBI and BRC. Fair enough. Most small trade associations don't have the money or resources for research to give them meaningful feedback.
From what I've heard, it was the usual Christmas story: some of you didn't do so well, and others will testify that while business may not have been brilliant over the festive period it was better than expected.
Retail research? 'You pays your money and takes your choice,' as the saying goes. In the end, what you get is a snapshot. If you're the owner of an independent shop who managed to enjoy strong Christmas sales, then a big 'well done'. I suspect there are quite a few like you up and down the country!
What was the secret of your success?
Unlike many big retailers you may have resisted the temptation to start discounting early – if at all – and didn't get involved with Black Friday and Cyber Monday events. And you were, no doubt, able to be flexible, buy in small quantities and re-order as soon as you saw a product's sell-through potential. And even though yours is a bricks and mortar store, I wouldn't be surprised if you have an online presence.
It's also likely that you visited one of the autumn trade shows for top-up buying – and to find products that were on-trend. Yes, discovering what's fashionable isn't the prerogative of large stores: even gift shops in villages can do it if they're prepared to put in the leg-work!
The people at retail intelligence firm Springboard suggest that in 2016 footfall was both a reflection and magnification of the trend of a modest bounce back of the high street, alongside a slowing of growth out of town and a downward slide in shopping centre activity.
Shoppers' requirements from bricks and mortar retail destinations are apparently moving away from purely transactional based trips to those that focus on offering a more rounded leisure experience. Springboard anticipates that consumers will continue to be cautious in their spending at the beginning of 2017.
David Smith wrote in The Times that he expected households to "take a bit of a breather" this year because of higher inflation and a softening of the employment market. He suggested that spending would not fall but grow more slowly.
Faced with the inexorable rise in online shopping, increased staff costs, the burden of business rates and the very real prospect of having to put up their prices because of sterling's depreciation, retailers will be hoping that Smith is correct when he says: "As always, you write off the British consumer at your peril."
Well, confidence hasn't yet been dented – and the doomsayers are once again confounded. Long may that continue.
Meanwhile, Mintel says that this year growing consumer confidence in contactless payment systems will lead to a greater number of businesses embracing digital payments and more impulse purchases thanks to the financial fluidity they offer.
Its research reveals that 30% of UK consumers already feel comfortable about the potential for a completely cashless society, while 29% say that it is more convenient to pay for things using a smartphone than other payment methods.
That said, currencies have been in the news – from rare plastic fivers to the Bitcoin. I confess that I still can't get my head around the way this so-called crypto-currency really works.
But it was the best-performing currency of 2016, rising by more than 80%. Five years ago Bitcoin traded at just $3.91. At the time of writing it stands at $911.65. Existing only on computers, it has no central bank support. Remarkable.
There will soon be a new UK quid on the block. The 12-sided £1, "the most secure coin in the world", will enter circulation in March alongside the old round pound, which will cease to be legal tender on October 15. There are implications if you have a shop and you can find out more by going to www.thenewpoundcoin.com
May the retail gods be with you.

Morocco- Gem Of The Maghreb
A walk in the Atlas Mountains, getting off the beaten path to discover another civilization, a stroll through the old streets of the imperial cities, a méharée (camel ride) in the south: every journey is an opportunity to meet Moroccans. Be they intellectuals, craftsmen, artists or simple farmers – they are always interested in sharing their life.
Nestled in the Northern region of Africa, Morocco is an abundant nation that encompasses an enthralling history, vibrant energy and myriads of cultural traits from many corners of the world. Geographically, Morocco has a coastline on the windswept North Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea – bordered by Spain to the north, Algeria to the east, and Western Sahara to the south. For centuries, the high peaks of the Atlas sheltered this coastal region from the Saharan dunes. It was not until 1912 to 1956 that Morocco was colonised and separated into French and Spanish areas like Rabat, Casablanca, Ceuta and Melilla. Its long history of invaders and settlers also include the Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, and Arabs as well as the Berbers, a Moroccan indigenous group that populates half of the nation. Aside from Lesotho and Swaziland, Morocco is one of only three kingdoms left on the continent of Africa up to this present time.
Though it is just an hour ferry ride away from Spain, Morocco remains a complete juxtaposition of Europe. Its Islamic culture is deeply rooted within it – epitomising Arabic and Berber influences. Mosques, minarets, and bazaars make up the bustling areas in Morocco. However, its immediate and enduring Maghrebi charm lies in cities such as Fez and Marrakech. The Medina of Fez, a UNESCO World Heritage site and an ancient centre of medieval Islamic times offers beautiful sights and architectures of a forlorn Moroccan realm that stretched from Senegal to northern Spain. Lyrical landscapes from the famous High Atlas to the harsh Saharan oases offer unassuming, magnificent pleasures and serenity meant for an ephemeral escapism.
This region of exotic and vivid backdrops packs extraordinary adventures into its corner of North Africa. From the metropolitan Ville Nouvelle and ancient Medina to its robust tradition and hospitality, Morocco offers the best of every solo traveller's fascination. And if you do visit, it is mandatory that you try traditional dishes like Harira, Couscous, Tagine and B'ssara.

Destiny's Child8 Days Of Christmas (2001)
Текст песни с переводом слов Destiny's Child «A Dc Christmas Medley» из альбома «8 Days Of Christmas» (2001).
A Dc Christmas Medley
Dashing through the snow
On a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it's to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Santa claus is coming to town!
Frosty the snowman was a merry happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,
He was made of snow but the children
Know how he came to life one day.
Santa claus is coming to town!...
Holly, jolly christmas
It's the best time of the year
Oh by golly, have a holly,
Jolly christmas this year.
Holly, jolly christmas
It's the best time of the year
Oh by golly, have a holly,
Jolly christmas this year.
Santa claus is coming to town!...
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
'tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel.
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Troll the ancient yuletide carol.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Santa claus is coming to town!...
Here comes santa claus!
Here comes santa claus!

This is the third book in the Harry Bosch series, and I think it's my favourite so far. This book steps back a bit and takes a more in depth look at Bosch's past. Bosch was involved with the Dollmaker murders 4 years ago and shot one of the suspects as he was reaching under his pillow for his toupee. Finally, 4 years later, Bosch is taken to civil court by the family of the victim for wrongful death.
The book combines the courtroom dramas with new Dollmaker murders, giving you the best of both worlds. Additionally, Bosch has a new love interest, Sylvia, from the previous novel. The two of them have great chemistry and you really want things to work out for them. However you have to ask why this wasn't the first book in the series? It tells you about Bosch's past better than the previous two novels did.
Of course, Bosch doesn't learn from his mistakes and continues on with his rogue practices, which is a little cliche. But the novel is still good and suspenseful.

The U.S. has more tornadoes than anywhere else in the world (averaging about 1,200 per year), with sightings in all 50 states. Canada is # 2 in volume of tornadoes (averaging about 80 per year) with several high risk areas mostly in central provinces.
Most injuries or deaths caused by tornadoes are from collapsing buildings, flying objects, or trying to outrun a twister in a vehicle. Tornadoes can also produce violent winds, hail, lightning, rain and flooding.
Did you know...
...according to NOAA, 2004 had a record 1,817 tornado reports in the U.S.?!
...in 1974, during a 21-hour period, 148 tornadoes ripped through 13 states and 1 province between Alabama and Ontario, Canada killing 315 people?!
...tornadoes can last for several seconds or more than an hour, but most last less than 10 minutes?!
...peak tornado season in the southern states is March through May; in the northern states, it is late spring through early summer?!
...a waterspout is a tornado over water but isn't recorded until it hits land?!
...the force of a tornado can strip asphalt chunks off roads, rip clothes off people and pluck feathers off chickens?!
As of 2007, the National Weather Service uses a scale called the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale that classifies tornadoes based on 28 Damage Indicators to more accurately estimate wind speeds. (Below explains EF Scale, Wind Estimates and a few examples of typical Damage per NOAA and Wikipedia)
EF0 = Wind speeds: 65-85 mph / 105-137 km/h; Light damage: Peels off some roofs; some damage to gutters or siding; broken branches, etc.
EF1 = Wind speeds: 86-110 mph / 138-177 km/h; Moderate damage: Strips surface off roofs; mobile homes overturned; broken windows, etc.
EF2 = Wind speeds: 111-135 mph / 178-217 km/h; Considerable damage: Roofs/mobile homes destroyed; trees snap; light-object missiles generated, etc.
EF3 = Wind speeds: 136-165 mph / 218-266 km/h; Severe damage: Roofs/walls ripped off sturdy homes; trees debarked; heavy cars lifted & thrown, etc.
EF4 = Wind speeds: 166-200 mph / 267-322 km/h; Devastating damage: Well-constructed homes leveled; cars thrown; small missiles generated, etc.
EF5 = Wind speeds: > 200 mph / > 322 km/h; Incredible damage: All homes leveled and swept away; car-sized missiles fly thru air over 100 metres (109 yards); structural damage to high-rises, etc.
Prepare - Review FLOOD, LIGHTNING, and WIND MITIGATION tips on USFRA forum.
Learn the buzzwords - Learn the terms / words used with tornado threats...
-- Tornado watch - a tornado is possible - listen for updates
-- Tornado warning - a tornado has been sighted so take shelter quickly and keep a radio with you for updates
Learn risks - Ask local emergency management office about threats in your area, what the warning signals are, and what to do when you hear them.
Where am I? - Make sure your kids know what county or area you live in and listen for that name on radio or TV updates.
Get tuned in - Keep a battery-operated radio (with spare batteries) handy for weather forecasts and updates. (Environment Canada's Weatheradio and NOAA's Weather Radio have tone-alert features that alert you when a Watch or Warning has been issued.)
Be ready to evacuate - If officials say leave - DO it!
Make a plan - Develop a Family Emergency Plan (e.g. establish meeting places, list of emergency contact #s, out of state contact person, etc) and Disaster Supplies Kits.
Learn to shut off - Know where and how to shut off electricity, gas and water at main switches and valves -- ask local utilities for instructions.
Where do I go? - Know locations of shelters where you spend time (schools, nursing homes, office, etc.) The best place is underground (like a basement, a safe room, or storm cellar) or find a hallway, bathroom, or closet in middle of building on the lowest floor.
Do drills - Practice going to shelter with your family and "duck and cover" (use your hands and arms to protect head and stay down low).
Put it on film/chip/drive - Either videotape or take pictures of home and personal belongings and store them off-site with your important papers.
Review above tips and...
Listen - Keep up with local news reports tracking the twister or conditions using a battery-operated radio.
Watch & listen - Some danger signs of a tornado include dark green-ish sky, clouds moving to form a funnel, large hail, or loud roar (like a train).
Be ready to evacuate - Keep listening to authorities - if told to leave, DO it (esp if you live in a mobile home or trailer).
Listen - Use a battery-operated radio to hear reports tracking the twister.
Take cover - If you hear or see a tornado coming take cover immediately!
-- Get to a stronger shelter... or ...
-- Stay low to ground in a ditch and cover head with hands.
-- If you hear or see water in the ditch, move quickly to a drier spot (in case lightning strikes nearby).
IF INDOORS - Get to a safe place right away - and avoid windows!!
-- In house or small building - Go to basement, storm cellar or middle of building on lowest floor (bathroom, closet or hallway). Get under something sturdy or put mattress or covers over you for protection & stay until danger passes.
-- In a school, nursing home, factory or shopping center – Go to designated shelter areas (or interior hallways on lowest floor) -- stay away from open areas.
-- In a high-rise building - Go to a small, interior room or hallway on lowest floor possible and avoid windows.
IF OUTDOORS - Try to take shelter in a basement or sturdy building. Or lie in a dry ditch with hands covering your head, but watch and listen for flooding and be aware you're a bigger target for lightning. And if you hear or see water, move since it can carry lightning's electrical charge!
IF IN A VEHICLE - GET OUT and take shelter in a building or lie flat in a ditch with hands covering head (but be aware you're a bigger target for lightning when lying flat & listen for flooding!) DO NOT try to out-drive a tornado! You never know which direction one will go & it moves too fast.
Listen - Use a battery-operated radio to hear reports in case there are more twisters.
Be aware - Watch for broken glass and downed power lines .. and avoid damaged buildings or homes until authorities give the OK to enter.
Check outside first - Before you go inside, walk around outside to check for loose power lines, gas leaks, and structural damage.
Check chimney - First check from a distance to see if chimney looks normal and have a professional check it if it looks strange. Check out the Chimney Safety Institute of America's homeowner tips at http://www.csia.org
Inspect - Check all utility lines and appliances for damage:
smell gas or hear hissing - open a window and leave quickly. Shut off main valve outside, if possible, and call a professional to turn it back on when it's safe
electrical damage - switch off power at main fuse box or circuit breaker
Clean up - Any flammable liquids (bleaches, gasoline, etc.) should be cleaned up immediately.
Things to check - In addition to above, some other things you want to do include…
Take & share pics - If you have a camera phone, take shots of the damage to your home or place of business since it may take days before an adjuster gets there. It can also be a way to share updates with neighbors who aren't able to get to the site. The photos could also be uploaded to First Responders and/or media to help prioritize the response efforts.
Call a professional - If you have any doubts about the safety of your home, contact a professional inspector.

It was last week that I ordered the towel rail; I missed my first delivery and late I have to co-ordinate with QS Supplies, and they re-delivered the radiator to me. It was packed with apt protection. Fitting instructions and manual were satisfactorily informative, the plumber installed it effortlessly. I have my younger siblings around at my place and the radiator has smooth edges, ensuring their safety. I was lucky enough to get this radiator at a cheap rate. Now that it is really easy to clean, I give it a thumps up!

When I first arrived in Singapore, I was very concern about getting my hair done as I have heard many nightmare stories from ladies who end up in tears after having their hair damaged in the salons here. Well guess what, I ended up being one of them. I was so terrified I only get my hair done once or twice a year when I make a trip back to Moscow.
I have a habit and love changing my hairstyle just to have a different look to feel fresh and new. Well one day my thinking got the better of me, so I googled expat forums on the best salon for hair rescue and recovery. Guess what Casey Salon came up and there was no looking back since.
First I must say Casey consultation is magical. He took the time to listen to understand me, and then he was very patient while I show him images of the looks I like, my wishes and dreams amidst my messy poor English on what I want to see on my head. To my amazement he gently explained to me what is best and I agreed. The result was beyond my expectation. I had such a gentle Balayage, shiny and soft, my ringlets looked sun-kissed and lovely – exactly as I was visualizing it. My natural-base hair color is pretty difficult to lighten without damaging them but Casey managed to give me a very sun-kissed Balayage highlight without any damage, which is equal to magic to me.
I must admit that I was feeling nervous when I first walked in Casey Salon and from his magical consultation, his suggestions, his knowledge, his expertise, his gentle and irresistible charm, progressively I felt comfortable, then confident and eventually my mood was raised in an instant to one of joy and happiness. I walked out feeling the happiest, totally refreshed and like a whole new woman.
Casey has a team who are professional, friendly and helpful, making each visit of mine a little happy getaway. Now I have a different concern when I am back to Moscow, I will be thinking of going back to Singapore to do my hair.
