These issues are inter-related in a virtuous circle, but our campaigns focus first on better planning to stop overdevelopment.
- Return real planning power to local communities (including through citizen juries)
- Deliver new community infrastructure before more housing
- Reduce population growth pressures by lowering immigration from a record 200,000+ p.a. back to the long term average of 70,000 p.a.

text: This particular recipe calls for 'bombay duck fish' / loitta maach, but we couldn't get fresh bombay duck here, that's why I used rohu. 'Macher Jhuri' is nothing but a dry preparation of crumbled / mashed fish, which is typically bengali and goes best with steamed rice. Don't forget to add cubed potatoes because without them this curry will be totally incomplete. Try this easy recipe in your kitchen and let me know how it turns out for you.

Eversource: State, Municipal and Utility Coordination Services for Bare Steel/Cast Iron Replacement Program, Connecticut Department of Transportation and Amtrak
Client/Owner: Eversource
As a result of a federal initiative to reduce risks associated with operating a gas distribution system and as part of a recent rate case requirement in which the Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA) mandated that Yankee Gas (now Eversource) aggressively remove aging infrastructure, the utility has invested in an ambitious fifteen year replacement plan for all of its bare steel and cast iron gas mains throughout Connecticut - approximately 520 miles of main – and Freeman Companies is acting as Eversource's liaison for the Program.
In order to minimize customer inconvenience, expedite the replacement process and minimize costs, close coordination between Eversource and each municipality has been paramount; Freeman Companies has been scheduling and coordinating meetings with all stakeholders from each of the affected municipalities and public agencies (Municipal Officials, Public Works, Engineering, Local Utility Departments, etc.) and has documented and mapped all current and future roadway paving/reconstruction plans as well as other anticipated capital improvement projects that will/may be effected by the replacement program. This information has allowed Eversource and each respective municipality to coordinate work and to prioritize their replacement/road improvement schedules in an effort to minimize local roadway disturbances. The ultimate goal of this process has been the development of a replacement schedule that minimizes the inconvenience to residents and roadway impacts by coordinating roadway reconstruction and maximizes efficiency in the construction process.
To date, this project has serviced over 30 Towns throughout Connecticut.
Freeman Companies is providing the following services:

This course is a very interesting monologue of Dr Harris about Raspberry Pi, Python and GPIO. There is no MOOC in this video collection. No way of asking questions to the instructor, no forum and you can not even give feed back on peer graded assignments. The library used for GPIO is not the most current, but it works. There is a whole week about using Twitter which in the end it is not required. Not sure if it has changed, but getting Twitter API keys takes time, as you need to fill some on-line forms and wait for those to be reviewed. But, this course makes you explores a broad range of topics not usually found on short videos or tutorials.

Spirit And Life Devotional: A Flash In The Pan
Mark 4:5-6 ERV "Other seed fell on rocky ground, where there was not enough dirt. It grew quickly there because the soil was not deep. But then the sun rose and the plants were burned. They died because they did not have deep roots."
The rocky ground seems to be a better place to be on; it's cooler on the rock and you can have a better view, but the soil is dirty and you have to disappear for a season. The naive seed considers the limelight and all the other things it thinks it will benefit by being on the rock, and what it will lose by being in the soil, it chooses to stay on the rock and immediately shines! But a few months later, when it should have started sprouting from the ground, it begins to die because even though the rock is a beautiful place, it isn't ideal for a seed!
A lot of us have been deceived by appearances. We have chosen to be in places that seem to be cool and ideal instead of where God actually wanted us to be. God develops men in the wilderness before releasing them to the world, but because the wilderness is an uncultivated, uninhabited and inhospitable area, because the wilderness is a neglected and abandoned place, we refused to stay in the wilderness, thinking we would die there, we opted for somewhere else, therefore we have not been made. We went to places where we quickly made headlines and rose faster, but we did not last. We ended up aa flashes in the pan.
Give God a chance! Stop trying to have your way all the time. Let God make you, let Him take you through the processes. A grain of wheat must fall to the ground and die before it can grow and produce much more wheat. If it never dies, it will never be more than a single seed. No pain, no gain. If you do not endure the suffering that is only for a while, you will not enjoy the glory that will last forever!
