Hong Kong: City Guide & History
Hong Kong is one of the most unique cities in the world, and one of the most densely populated! Once part of China, but then occupied by the British for many years, it is now a fusion of East and West, of tradition and modernity. So, what's the whole story?
The Big Buddha & Po Lin Monastery
Towering high on a mountain top, far from the skyscrapers of Central, sits the beautiful Po Lin Monastery, and its Big Buddha, or Tian Tan Buddha, statue. It's one of the largest seated Buddha statues in the world – so how did it get up there in the first place?

SPV [Release date 25.05.18]
Right, strap yourself in – I'm going to be as charitable as I can here because I think it's crass and churlish to be overly critical if someone else has been there and done it and you haven't. Nothing better than throwing a gang of mates together and getting some kind of collective resonance out of a bunch of musical instruments – I've never properly done that…well, I did once – smoked something called Trainwreck, jammed in a mate's basement….we thought it sounded brilliant for twenty minutes and then found out we forgot to press "record". True story – and who the hell knows but I can put my hand on my heart and tell you we were remarkably good, the essence of everything great about classic rock.
Anyway, when I do get famous, what we did remember to record that night will definitely be included in the bonus, digi, mini, diamond-quality, limited edition, signed 12-inch, Blu-ray, picture disc album for 49.99 or a buck 50 on Spotify.
Right, so 36 years after their last album release in 1982, and spawned by the "major success" of founder member and bassist Peter Knorn's autobiography – titled and loosely translated as "20 Years of Rock'n'Roll Insights and Views of a Bassist"…..(no, me neither) – German hard rockers Fargo got to "wondering what they would sound like today if the band was still around".
PR blurb is proof that you can, in fact, make a pig's ear sound like a silk purse…..bassist Knorn had a young fire-bellied, whippersnapper called Matthias Jabs in the band for a while pre-1978….and I brushed past Les Dawson once in a chip shop in Blackpool after the panto but it didn't make me a comedian. Knorn also went on to manage Michael Schenker, UFO, Glenn Hughes and Uli Jon Roth – I can manage a knife and fork but it doesn't make me a chef. They supported AC/DC, Mother's Finest and The Small Faces back in the day and I've supported a Theakston's Ale habit since the '80s – okay, that does make me good at drinking beer but you get my point.
Having said I was going to be charitable, Constellation isn't horrible but I'm not sure this will appeal to a wider audience than all those young, leather-draped Germans from the late '70s/early '80s who are now accountants at Audi or are looking for that nostalgic kick to alleviate the boredom of winning World Cups and the annual holiday in an Austrian wellness resort.
"Loser's Blues" is a jaunty country-rock number which could conceivably sit comfortably on a Francis Rossi solo album, "Goddess of Destiny" is one of those attempts at rock/reggae crossover that the Scorps tried in the '90s and "Cross to Bear" doffs its cap to that cheesy, whistley Scorps song about wind – but without the whistely bit…..
Honestly, the most entertaining thing about this album is listening out for the IKEA-quality lyrics which non-English-first-language-speakers ALWAYS come up with……"okay I admit, I used to be myself a prick", "step back, a train is coming, mind the gap" (REALLY ??), "this is annoying, like a fly", (from a different song) "buzz, buzz, buzz is what flies do", "if I said it was Christmas tonight, you'd be looking for snow outside" and "what a mess you were in, you drank yourself into oblivion, I spat out my glass of gin". I was going to say you couldn't write this but Fargo did, so that proves me wrong….and they have a song called "Southern Breeze", the lyrics of which include the titles of no less than twenty Elvis Presley hit singles titles !!
Do you remember thinking that the Eurovision Song Contest was the antithesis of cringetastic, musical endeavor ? Well, Constellation isn't quite that bad but it is Teutonic Dad-rock and the biggest bong and the strongest strain of Trainwreck in the world isn't going to change that. ** (but it might get a *** in the bargain bin at Aldi in Hannover).

What is the Difference Between Sexual Abuse and Sexual Assault?
Sexual abuse, or known as molestation, is typically unwanted sexual conduct by an individual on another. It is frequently committed utilizing force or by exploiting another. The wrongdoer is known as a sexual abuser or, frequently critically, molester. The word also includes any conduct by an or older juvenile towards a child to sexually arouse any involved. The use of a child, or other people, under the age of consent, for sexual arousal is known as child sexual abuse or statutory rape.
The word that has been in the news in recent times with mention to the trial of sports physician Larry Nassar is sexual abuse, a type of abusing children. Sexual abuse is primarily utilized to explain conduct toward children, not adults. Every state in the U.S. has laws that acknowledge that children are incapable of offering cognizant approval to any sex act. In this country, the age at which consent can be offered varies from sixteen to eighteen years of age. Sexual abuse can consist of several distinct things, from sexually stroking a victim to coercing a victim to the touch the culprit sexually to force a victim to view sexual body parts or view sexual activity. Child sexual abuse is illegal.
Types of Sexual Abuse consist of the following:
- Domestic violence
- Marital rape
- Child sexual abuse, or child molestation
Sexual Assault
When there is immediate force, of brief period, or sporadic, it is termed sexual assault. When there is immediate force, of brief period, or sporadic, it is termed sexual assault. Rape and sexual assault have been utilized compatibly when covering events resulting in the #MeToo movement, and this custom, although unintended, is perplexing. Contrary to the criminal act of rape, the word sexual assault can explain a variety of criminal acts that are naturally sexual, from undesirable touching and kissing, to caressing, fondling or coercing the victim to stroke the culprit in a sexual manner. However, sexual assault coincides with rape because the word incorporates rape.
Social and behavioral scientists frequently utilize the phrase "sexual violence". This phrase is much more extensive than sexual assault. It consists of acts that are not categorized as legally criminal but are injurious and distressing. Sexual violence consists of utilizing fabricated promises, persistent pressure, abusive remarks or reputational intimidations to force sex acts. It can comprise noncontact acts, such as catcalls and whistles, which can cause women to feel like an object and victimized. It consists of nonconsensual electronic distribution of candid images, exposing genitalia, and stealthy observation of other people nude or during sex.
Types of sexual assault consist of the following:
- Rape
- Forcible sodomy-anal or oral sex against an individual's will
- Forcible object penetration-Forcibly penetrating someone's vagina or anus, or making that individual penetrate him or herself against his or her will with an object
- Marital rape
- Undesirable sexual stroking
- Sexual interaction with juveniles, no matter if it was or was not consensual

God's message to Abraham
Instance of:
- The Gospel taught by Jesus and the apostles was not fundamentally different from what was understood by Abraham. God, through the Scriptures, "Preached before the gospel unto Abraham" (Gal. 3:8). So crucial are these promises that Peter started and ended his public proclamation of the Gospel with reference to them (Acts 3: 13,25).If we can understand what was taught to Abraham, we will then have a very basic picture of the Christian Gospel.

Then God said to him, is my covenant with you: I will make you the father of not just one nation, but a multitude of nations! will give you millions of descendants who will represent many nations.

December Madness
Technically, the Bowl Championship Series worked just fine this year. When USC and Texas hashed things out in the Rose Bowl on Wednesday night (page 36), they were the only two teams who could legitimately say they deserved to be playing for the national championship, the first time a college football season had reached such a satisfying resolution in three years. There were no powerhouses griping that they'd been snubbed (see the Trojans two seasons ago and undefeated Auburn last year), no mid-major upstarts crying foul over the BCS's prejudice against small conferences. And the postseason matchups were, for the most part, entertaining. Boise State's fourth-quarter comeback against Boston College on the blue turf in the MPC Computers Bowl was good stuff. UCLA and Northwestern were expected to hang up a bunch of points, and the Bruins' 50-38 victory in the Sun Bowl didn't disappoint. Penn State's 26-23 win over Florida State in the nearly five-hour Orange Bowl shank-o-rama was unattractive, but it was an emotional clash between two coaching titans.
But of course the BCS bar has been lowered so far that even when the system works, it doesn't. For all their great moments, most of the bowl games were short trips to nowhere, a lot of sound and fury signifying how much better December would be if college football had a March Madness--style playoff. As things stand now, the BCS's title match hogs so much of the attention that it renders insignificant all the other bowl games. (Except, of course, in years when there are more than two unbeaten teams, and then it underscores the meaningless of all that year's bowls.) The non-BCS games? They are something less than insignificant--and the teams playing in them often show that they know it. Oregon didn't lose to Oklahoma in the Holiday Bowl because the Sooners were the better team; the 10-2 Ducks lost because they were left out of the BCS and treated the Holiday Bowl like leftovers.
The bowl season, once a clutch of holiday presents nestled between Christmas and New Year's Day, is now a numbingly relentless 28-game assault that begins shortly after the Heisman Trophy is awarded and ends in the middle of the first week of January. Tradition, the soul of college football, has been abandoned, and Jan. 1 (or Jan. 2, if the former happens to fall on an NFL Sunday) is no longer sacrosanct. The rhythms of the new bowl season don't match the rhythms of fans' lives. The national championship game unfolds each year in midweek after New Year's Day, a prime-time TV show that ends long after most kids (and adults) have gone to bed--and long after the Christmas tree has been left outside in a snowbank.
The BCS endures--and the idea of a playoff languishes--because of another tradition: greed. The basketball bracketfest has a $565 million per year TV contract, but that money is split among more than 300 schools across the country. The BCS, meanwhile, is ruled by the lords of the six major conferences, plus Notre Dame (SI, Nov. 29, 2004). Sure, there are the occasional bones tossed to the Mountain Wests and MACs of the world, but the commissioners of the Big Ten, Pac-10, SEC, Big 12, ACC and Big East (and the Fighting Irish) control the sport and the $96 million the BCS is expected to generate this year. They're not likely to agree to a playoff that opens the party to every team in the country.
The commishes are backed by the college presidents, who lamely argue that a playoff would distract players from their studies and erode the academic integrity of the sport. That argument, which they manage to present with a straight face, doesn't seem to apply to hoops players who take most of March off from school--but they've drawn a line in the gridiron.
That's too bad, because a playoff would make the postseason more like the regular season, when almost every game feels like Armageddon. The top teams' seasons are on the line every weekend from Labor Day to Thanksgiving. One loss dents any team's long-term hopes; two losses can be crippling. That thrilling sense of urgency is what separates college football from every other major sport.
It's also what is largely missing from the bowl season. If college football is going to depart from tradition, let it be for something better. Imagine if Ohio State's victory over Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl had earned the Buckeyes something more than a trophy. Like, say, a rematch with Texas or a shot at USC? Imagine Penn State's speedy defense lining up to stop Pat White and the West Virginia spread offense, with a trip to the national semifinals on the line. Imagine a postseason in which the games matter to those who don't work in conference accounting offices. It may be an impossible dream, but it's a worthy one.

As feds focus on baseload, grid modernization is sweeping the nation
More than 30 states are considering far-reaching modernization and utility business model reforms, including new initiatives to integrate battery storage into grid planning processes.
As the Trump administration throws its weight behind legacy power assets, states and utilities are busy building the grid of the future.
The Department of Energy's recent proposed rulemaking at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) would provide cost recovery to merchant coal and nuclear plants that keep 90 days of fuel supply onsite. The plan would provide support to many of the oldest generators in the country and observers worry it would unravel wholesale markets if enacted.
But the view from many states is much different. In the third quarter of 2017, there were 184 actions on grid modernization proposed, pending or enacted across 33 states and the District of Columbia, according to a new report. Those findings reflect an ongoing push for modernization nationwide. In Q2, there were 181 grid mod actions in 36 states, up from 148 actions in Q1.
Grid modernization actions make the power sector "more resilient, responsive, and interactive," according to "50 States of Grid Modernization," the new Q3 2017 policy update from the North Carolina Clean Energy Technology Center (NCCETC). "Actions" are legislation or regulation that addresses smart grid, advanced metering infrastructure, utility business model, or rate reforms, or ways to expand access to DER.
The clear trend this year has been in state-initiated investigations of grid modernization, said Autumn Proudlove, NCCETC Manager of Policy Research and lead author of the update.
"We are still at the beginning of grid modernization but more and more states are doing broad investigations to understand it better," Proudlove said.
There were 40 actions to "tweak" existing policies and 38 actions to implement incipient programs or deploy "first-step" technologies in Q3, she said. But the real trend was in the 32 actions initiating studies or investigations on grid modernization, as well as 74 actions studying markets, planning, rate and business model reforms, and financial incentives, she added.
Also significant was the fact that 26 of the 33 states engaging with grid modernization "took actions on energy storage policies and deployment," Proudlove said.
The emerging question asked by state investigations, Proudlove said, is what grid modernization should include to enable a 21st century power sector?
A well-developed grid modernization plan
The most common grid modernization action continues to be on advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), NCCETC reports. That is because AMI is a "foundational" infrastructure, Proudlove said.
Timothy Roughan, director of environment at Northeast utility National Grid, agreed with Proudlove.
"We see AMI as a foundational investment needed for time varying rates, as well as better planning, operational, and storm restoration needs," he said by email.
In Massachusetts, National Grid has had the benefit of one of the few completed state grid modernization investigations, Proudlove said. That is important because there is no widely accepted "best practices" for grid modernization, she added.
The Massachusetts grid modernization investigation identified four objectives: Reducing outage impacts, optimizing demand and cutting costs, integrating DERs, and improving workforce and asset management. It also addressed the utility business model and rate design.
One of National Grid's basic grid modernization premises is that DERs must be integrated into system planning and operations to enable customer-owned resources, Roughan said. Incentives and falling costs are also driving much higher DER penetrations, he said.
Without significant system investment in "new capabilities and equipment," the underlying value of some of that DER will go untapped," Roughan said. And without "a specific grid modernization plan with cost recovery" to deploy foundational technologies that enable DER would take "much longer," he said.
A just-emerging grid modernization plan
In Missouri, Ameren began working in late 2016 for legislation to support its $1 billion, 5-year grid modernization proposal, Legislative and Regulatory Affairs Vice President Warren Wood told Utility Dive.
The traditional power system based on central station generation is evolving into "the integrated grid," according to Ameren's 2017 integrated resource plan (IRP). Higher penetrations of DERs, variable renewables and connected homes with smart meters and other communications technologies will require a "coordinated, bi-directional" grid to reliably balance distributed resources and customer demand.
Deployment of AMI and DER-enabling energy policies were "key objectives" of the Ameren-backed Senate Bill 190, which did not get through Missouri's General Assembly this year, Wood said. The IRP objectives and the objectives of Ameren's grid modernization plan are very much connected, he added.
Investments in grid modernization, along with constructive regulatory and energy policies, are "key enablers" for realizing the integrated grid's benefits for Ameren customers, the IRP reported.
The successful deployment of AMI in Illinois proved grid modernization "is not a science fair project anymore and can deliver new customer options," Wood said. "Missouri is behind other states. Moving forward on this is Ameren's single highest priority there."
Some stakeholders "do not see the benefit-cost advantage and are taking a prove-it-to-me attitude," he added. "But we anticipate a benefit of about $2.40 from every dollar invested."
Testimony on behalf of ReNew Missouri in a Missouri Public Service Commission proceeding investigating DER issues showed the utility and the advocacy group aligned in support of grid modernization. And Karl Rabago, executive director for the Pace Center for Climate and Energy Center, told the commission "comprehensive" utility planning for grid modernization is critical. It is the first step in "a deliberate shift in a utility's approach to infrastructure, services, and engagement with customers and markets," he said.
Grid modernization supports increased DER deployment and operation," Rabago, a former Texas utilities commissioner and DOE Deputy Assistant Secretary, testified. That allows DER to become "a cost-effective alternative" and "empower customers to manage and reduce their energy costs."
Ameren, Rabago and the Massachusetts investigation listed similar grid modernization objectives. They include reduced outage impacts, optimized demand and demand costs, the integration of DERs, and improved workforce and asset management.
Planning should emphasize the growth of renewables and DER, more intelligent and self-healing networks, and greater customer empowerment, Rabago argued. There should also be long-range, customer-focused planning and metrics to measure progress.

We have reached the tipping point.
The City of San Francisco has banned gatherings of more than 1,000 people for the next two weeks, as a precautionary measure to slow the spread of coronavirus, Mayor London Breed announced Wednesday. This would include Warriors games and presumably Giants games when the team returns from spring training on March 23. The Giants are scheduled to host the A's in an exhibition on March 24 at Oracle Park.
The Warriors have two home games during that stretch: Thursday's game vs. the Nets and a March 25 game vs. the Hawks.
This comes as the NBA has a conference call with the league's owners to discuss how the league is going to deal with the growing concern. One option currently on the table is to move games to cities which have yet to suffer outbreaks.
That call with the NBA's board of governors will be followed by an additional two conference calls on Thursday with team presidents and general managers. The Warriors could be specifically affected, outside of internal decisions. Santa Clara County instituted a legal order banning gatherings of groups of more than 1,000 people, which will affect both the San Jose Sharks and Earthquakes.

FinFeed Australia reports…
MGC Pharmaceuticals has been collaborating with the University of Sydney Business School community engagement program in the production of a medical cannabis white paper.
The paper, titled Clinical Evidence for Medical Cannabis: Epilepsy, Cancer and Multiple Sclerosis examines existing evidence supporting the efficacy of medical cannabis.
This second collaboration between the two also examines medical cannabis applicability to relieve associated symptoms for a range of health related issues, including pain nausea and loss of appetite.
For medical cannabis to become a trusted treatment option among medical professionals and patients alike, there needs to be rigorous clinical evidence supporting efficacy," said MGC co-founder and managing director Nativ Segev.
"We believe in the potential of medical cannabis more than most, but that belief needs to be proven in the lab under strict conditions."
MGC has provided support and expertise developed in the Israeli medical cannabis industry to the University of Sydney during the study, giving insight into the broader industry.
Of course this is still an early stage company and its expertise is some way off morphing into profitability, so if considering MGC as an investment, seek professional financial advice.
MGC is also in further discussions with leading Australian institutions to provide support and expertise, as they "strive to increase our understanding of the benefits of medical cannabis and its potential uses as a safe and effective treatment option," Segev concluded.
Co-ordinator of the study Michael Katz of the University of Sydney believes Australia has made great strides in medical cannabis advancement.
"Australia has made great advances in paving the way for medical cannabis to be available as a treatment option, but we now need to undertake more research to understand exactly how and why it can be used effectively with patients."
Certainly governments are taking a broader view of the industry.
In July this year, the NSW government was given approval to grow cannabis under licence from the federal government as part of research into the best way to cultivate the plant.
According to the NSW state government, this move lays the foundations for private growers to supply medical marijuana.
"This underpins the potential pharmaceutical supply of cannabis-based medicines made in Australia," said the NSW Primary Industries Minister, Niall Blair. "We are the first state to be authorised by the Commonwealth to conduct cultivation research."
The move comes as medicinal cannabis will become legal, but strictly controlled from November this year, under a formal decision reached by the Therapeutic Goods Administration in early September.
Earlier in the year, the Federal Parliament lent bipartisan support to changes to the Narcotic Drugs Act to allow cannabis to be legally grown and produced in Australia for medicinal purposes as part of a national scheme.

Bush Playgroup strives to support a sense of reverence while fostering the healthy development of the will forces and holding space for the innocence and rich imaginary life of the young child in nature. Each week we share a meal, complete a nature based bush craft and hold a circle time in addition to free play and activities, all in a natural bush setting.
For information please email the Bush Playgroup Coordinator: email@example.com
For children turning 4 and 5
Our Preschool teachers remain with the class for two years, taking a class from the start of the Preschool year through to the end of the Little Kindy.
Our aim is to make each child's transition from home to school a gentle happy experience in an environment that is unfolding and unhurried, and through actions worthy of imitation.
Activities are woven into a strong daily rhythm. Each week children take part in activities such as cooking and gardening; painting, drawing and modelling; story, song and movement; and dressing-up, playing and resting.
Children are given continuing opportunity to play imaginatively with a variety of simple toys made from natural materials. Through play children learn to concentrate, persist, create, siscriminate, co-operate and deal with a world of materials, of different situations and people.
For children turning 6
Kindergarten provides a nurturing space that gently guides the child into full-time schooling.
We aim to enliven and individualise the child's experience by weaving truths with imagination. Everything is taught through play, imitation and imagination. Children experience painting, drawing, modelling, play-acting, puppetry, singing, stories, poems, games, handicrafts, cooking, gardening and free play.
These years of intelligent, creative activity give rise in adulthood to an active, creative intelligence.

There comes a time when writing a family history book that you have to stop researching. I am in the final phases of the Colbert-Whelan Family History book and I am putting aside interesting leads for future research. I researching a little to "fill in the blanks" as I review the book.
My grandfather, James Whelan, had a first cousin named Thomas Phelan, born in 1891. The names may seem different, but in Ireland in the 19th century everyone used the names Whelan and Phelan interchangeably.
With all the new Irish records available I easily located marriage and death records for most of his brothers and sisters, but couldn't find Thomas. A quick check of Ancestry found that he had emigrated to the United States in 1916.
Maybe Thomas had planned to be a priest, but he married in 1928 and had two children. He remained in Denver.
Who is Father William Ryan????
He wasn't Thomas' uncle – his mother's name was Murnane, but his paternal grandmother's name was Ryan, so maybe he was a cousin. This is on the list for further research.
Googling Father William Ryan (actually O'Ryan) and St. Leo's Roman Catholic Church resulted in a lot of hits.
Father O'Ryan was well known in his day. He was born in Cashel, County Tipperary in 1861 and became a priest in 1885. He left for Colorado not long after where he became the pastor of St. Leo's.
He was known for his writing, his oratorical skills, and his charity work. Among the organizations he was instrumental in forming were the Hospital Association for the care of the sick poor and the Colorado State Tuberculosis Society. He was a member of the Colorado State Board of Charities and Correction.
In 1887 he helped found the Charity Organizations Associations. This was the start of the United Way.
He died in 1940 and is buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery.
So what is happening with the book? It's close to finished. I'm reviewing each chapter and finding weird typos (and fixing them). I've been in touch with some cousins and will be in touch with more to double check the information I have about their grandparents and great grandparents. And I've been trying to fixing photographs as best I can.
Another project – taking pictures of some items we have that belonged to my grandparents.
Stay tuned for more information on the book.

CWAC President Yole Whitlock and Tom Bone, 2018 NCGA President, meet to sign an agreement between CWAC and the CGA.
We at CWAC are excited to announce that the Committee for the California Women's Amateur Championships (CWAC) has entered an agreement with the California Golf Association (CGA) that results in the CGA adding the California Women's Amateur Championship and the California Senior Women's Amateur Championship to its roster of state championships beginning in 2019.
In 2020, the two Championships will begin rotating between Northern and Southern California in order to capture a larger audience of qualified players. Additionally, beginning this year, the Senior Women's Amateur Championship will adopt a new format, so please be sure to check out the Senior Women's page of our website for more information.
The CWAC Championships were founded by Helen Lengfeld, a renowned amateur golfer, humanitarian and philanthropist. The first California Women's Amateur Championship was played at Pebble Beach Golf Links in 1967. The Senior Women's Amateur Championship was first played in 1979 at Del Monte Golf Club in Monterey. CWAC is made up entirely of volunteers, and we see this agreement with the CGA as a way to ensure the longevity of Helen Lengfeld's legacy and to increase statewide participation in these events. CWAC will work closely with the CGA to ensure the success of this agreement. We will continue to sponsor and run the California Junior Girls' State Championship, which will celebrate its 70th year in 2019. Click here to read the new format changes for the Junior.
The California Golf Association was formed in 1912 between the Northern California Golf Association and the Southern California Golf Association to promote and organize state-wide championships, and therefore, it is a natural fit for the CGA to bring aboard the CWAC State Championships.
We are very excited about the future of our Women's and Senior Women's State Championships!
Yole Whitlock
CWAC President

Rep. Finchem Praises Tucsonans for Upholding State Law by Voting Down Sanctuary City Initiative
TUCSON, AZ- Fact-based critical thinking was on display last night with the defeat of City of Tucson Prop. 205. If the measure had passed, the City would have been forced to become a Sanctuary City, which would have restricted the actions of Tucson police officers regarding the determination of immigration status of those they had in custody for other crimes.
I am very pleased to see that reason won out over emotion, and that the voters, most of whom are Democrats, saw the measure for what it was. When we drain away the political animus and hyperbole about sanctuary city laws and focus on the people that they affect, the case becomes clear. While some politicians insist on classifying basically good people who have committed a civil offense, in the same group as dangerous convicted felons who ought to be deported, it is important for us to make a clear distinction.
The Sanctuary City initiative was defeated by a 71% to 29% margin according to the Pima elections records. This measure was not about protecting families since limited law enforcement resources have their hands full dealing with the violent felon element that hits behind basically good people who are present in the United States without legal status. Representative Finchem says, "I am relieved to see that the majority of Tucsonans, the majority of whom are Democrats and who clearly control the city's political climate, saw through the fallacious argument that everyone in the illegal status community is at risk. The simple truth is that law enforcement is most interested in containing the threat of those who would murder, assault and steal from our communities.
Contrary to some Tucson politicos assertion that people felt threatened by State statutes that could hold back state shared revenue from political subdivisions that are in violation of Arizona Revised Statutes, it is clear that an overwhelming majority put pubic safety first, with only 29% of voters placing political agenda ahead of security safe streets and schools. Many of my Democrat friends voiced concern over such events as that which occurred across the border just north of La Mora, Sonora, Mexico, where the LeBarón family was attacked on a rural road in northern Mexico. Killed by at least one cartel were six children and three women, hours before the polls opened here in Tucson. My heart is broken for this family, and all of the others who are victimized by those who do not care about life.
Evil exists in this world, and it is a disservice to good people when we do not protect them from the evildoers. Legal status notwithstanding, good people deserve protection from those who kill, extort, maim, kidnap and force into sexual slavery. Thank you to the voters of Tucson for demonstrating sanity in a world gone insane.

4 Advantages Of Periodically Maintaining Your Roof
Although roofs are designed to resist wear and tear for at least a few decades, they will eventually need maintenance operations during their lifetime. It is actually a good idea to inspect the condition of your roof on an annual basis because you might find different problems and you can fix them in time before they become worse. Also, by periodically fixing your roof, you can get a few more benefits that will be explained below. Doing the roof inspection and performing the maintenance tasks will not take a long time and you can save a lot of money on the long run!
1. Improves aesthetics and curb appeal. If you go on a street and you see an ugly house with a damaged roof then you are probably thinking who is living there and why they don't do anything about it, right? The same thing applies with your roof as well. By fixing your roof, repairing leaks and replacing missing shingles, you are actually improving the design of your house. Your neighbors will admire your house that is permanently in an excellent condition and the roof will look brand new as well.
2. Increases home value. The roof is a very important of your house and any modification in its condition will impact the selling price of your establishment. By fixing your roof and maintaining it in a very good shape on a regular basis, the quality of life and the comfort level inside your house is increased. Additionally, the permanently maintained roof will also increase the value of your home and if you plan to sell it in the near future, you can ask for more money as well. It's undeniable that buyers love houses that have properly maintained and cared for and you will eventually get more buying offers.
3. Increase lifespan. A roof that is permanently in a great condition will last longer as well. For example, if you have leaks, shingles are missing and the roof is kept in a poor condition over time, all the problems will become major and it will eventually be a roofing disaster. You will need to replace your entire roof completely and this can cost you a decent sum of money. Why not avoid this entire unfortunate scenario if you simply fix your roof on time and you repair any minor problems before they become major? It will save you a lot of money, especially in the long run.
4. Peace of mind. You will also rest better at nights knowing that your roof is in a great shape and nothing can compromise the security and safety of your establishment. Regardless if bad weather and violent storms have been announced, you have a properly maintained roof and you are not worried about it. You will eventually find this peace of mind much needed so why not give it a try now and inspect your roof? In the case you have found problems, you can also contact professional roofing companies and ask for their services. The professionals are more than glad to help you!

London — Veolia Environmental Services has become the first major WEEE producer compliance scheme to report that it has secured the recycling evidence it needs to meet its members' obligations for the 2013 compliance period. The confirmation that it has met its full reporting obligations in terms of both the quantity and mix of evidence required has come well ahead of the Environment Agency's April 30 deadline and earlier than any other scheme.
The scheme is one of the largest in the UK and earlier this year reached a major milestone with 200,000 tonnes collected since first starting operations in 2007. It now collects from a total of 19 waste disposal authorities and 108 CA sites. In 2013, the levels of WEEE collected at its sites have risen by 3 per cent compared to 2012 as a result of an extensive programme of operative training while the volumes of WEEE collected in the UK fell by 3 per cent in the same period.
Clement Gaubert WEEE Scheme Manager said: "We have worked closely with our local authority clients, reprocessing partners and other key stakeholders to ensure our scheme members now have compliance status in advance of the final deadline. BIS have suggested a total household WEEE collection target of 490,000 tonnes for 2014, up 3 per cent on 2013's collections. Based on our ongoing performance and the recent addition of Essex County Council to our municipal contracts portfolio, we are confident of achieving it."

Your business logo may be more important to success than you may realize. Statistically, people are more drawn to memorable images when it comes to consumerism. Having your brand out in the open can keep your business in the minds of customers as they relate the graphic to your product or services.
Social Media
Websites such as Facebook and Twitter are excellent locations to display the logo. Sites like these also allow you to change the background of the profile. This could be a great location to show the inside or outside of your establishment. It makes the social engagement aspect feel more inviting and approachable.
Gift Cards
Gift cards are an excellent promotional tool for your business. Whether it's for a discount or a specific amount, these items are quite popular for birthdays or the holidays. Having your logo printed on these custom gift cards helps the recipient identify the company with the product. Using company colors to offset the background can also be beneficial for creating branded memory.
Employee Badges/Name Tags
Badges or name tags allow customers to identify with employees on a more personal level. Adding the logo to these forms of identification help others associate the business with the employee. It can also help to separate your staff from those in the store wearing similar colors or clothing.
Many cash registers are capable of printing images onto receipts. This is additional focus on your business through graphic media that can be seen even if the person drops the receipt on the ground. It may be beneficial to include the business address and phone number as well. Think of it as additional marketing for future purchases from the customer or others looking at the strip of paper.
Email Correspondence
Adding the company logo to your emails denote a sense of professionalism. It can also allow the recipient to identify your company at a glance. In most cases, a simple JPG file can be attached to your email as a signature automatically. The email program you use may have features that will allow you to make minor adjustments as well.
Many large corporations have demonstrated how a logo alone can sell a product. In fact, there may be several items you buy on a semi-regular basis based purely on the image provided on a box or bag. Help people remember your business by the image presented. It may boost future sales and increase the organization's reputation.
