Potentially Scarier Vibes further down 8mile
Although I haven't seen this ghost. I will say this that a girl named Stephanie Jones did die in car accident West of the mapped pinpoint just up 8 mile towards 5 by Bear Creek HS neighborhood. If you go down the opposite way on 8 mile you'll eventually reach a right turn. Before the right turn there is a secluded older Victorian style house fenced off sketchy looking. Near the house is a bridge over a small creek. The area is considerably colder then the surrounding orchards. Very scary area feels like some sort of demonic presence weather it be witchcraft or something else.Posted 3/2/20

New Multitudes (Jay Farrar, Yim Yames, Anders Parker, Will Johnson) played Webster Hall (pics, setlist)
photos by Kurt Christensen
Jim James @ Webster Hall
"New Multitudes, a centennial tribute to Woody Guthrie, made up of the singer-songwriters Jay Farrar, Yim Yames, Anders Parker and Will Johnson, operates from within a cocoon of familiarity. Not with regard to the songs, exactly: all 12 on the group's self-titled debut album, released last month on Rounder, began with previously unused scraps of writing from the Guthrie archives, freshly set to music.
What's familiar about New Multitudes is that process of refurbishment, which has also given us several albums by Billy Bragg with Wilco — a collection, "Mermaid Avenue: The Complete Sessions," is due out on Nonesuch next month — and one by Jonatha Brooke. In these and other instances, mostly smaller in scale, access to the material was enthusiastically granted by Nora Guthrie, the guardian of her father's legacy…." [NY Times]
New Multitudes hit Webster Hall on Wednesday (3/14) with Bobby Bare Jr. in tow. Here are some pictures, setlist included, from the NYC show. More below…

Private Placement Adoptions
Private Placement Adoptions involve one or both birth parents making a plan to place the child directly with the adoptive parents for adoption. Private Placement Adoptions are "open" adoptions, which means that the placing birth parents and the adoptive parents are entitled to know each other's identities and to receive identifying information about each other. This is very different from agency adoptions, which are "closed," meaning that the adoptive parents and birth parents are not entitled to know each other's identities unless they execute a document allowing the disclosure of identifying information.
Some advantages of Private Placement Adoptions over agency adoptions include:
- Typically, the wait time to locate a child and make an adoption plan in a private adoption is shorter;
- Adoptive parents frequently receive more health and background information regarding the child's birth parents and extended family members;
- With newborns, adoptive parents typically take custody of the child at the hospital, allowing for more immediate bonding;
- They provide both adoptive parents and birth parents with greater control over the adoption process; and
- They allow adoptive parents and birth parents to meet and maintain some level of mutually agreed-upon contact post-adoption.
Some of the steps in Private Placement Adoptions include:
- The Home Study: In North Carolina, the home study is called a Pre-Placement Assessment and is sometimes referred to as a PPA.
- Consent: In a Private Placement Adoption, the placing parent or guardian must make a voluntary decision to place the child for adoption. In North Carolina, a birth father can give such consent before the child is born, but the birth mother may not give her consent until after the child is born.
- Payment of Birth Expenses: Under North Carolina law, "reasonable and actual fees and expenses" may be paid by the adoptive parents, but no other payments are allowed to be made to the birth parents.
Michele Smith can assist you to help determine the expected costs related to an adoption, to provide support and guidance in resolving issues that arise between birth parents and adoptive parents during the adoption process and to create a plan for post-adoption communication between birth parents and adoptive parents, if desired.
Call Michele Smith at 336-379-1390 today to discuss the services she can provide to you during the adoption process.

My question involves civil rights in the State of: Texas
My friend (14 years old) won tickets through a raffle to the Austin City Limits festival in Austin, Texas. His father took the tickets and sold them for $300 to a coworker. Not only did my friend have a deal with another friend for a higher price, his father also refuses to give my friend any of the money from the ticket. Is there anything my friend can do to either get the ticket back or at least get the money?

Back to Ben's main page.
I started dating at 25. I wanted to be established in life first. And I was. I was the village Janitor. Paid by the county. It was an easy job, sweeping the side walks and picking up behind the houses. One block long.
My worldly goods were a horse and a beagle dog. We were usually very close to each other. I would let the horse graze on the highest lawn. I taught the dog which garbage cans to knock over.
My dog never got shots for various modern dog sicknesses. The only shots he got was when a home owner saw him digging in a flower or vegetable garden.
This village was so quaint. Everybody knew each other. It had all the essentials. The barber also took care of all the dental work.
Back to dating...
For me, a girl had to have a car and go dutch treat.
One day while sweeping, a local girl came along and we talked a little while. I asked if I could call on her Saturday night. She said O.K.
I am writing this in the Bentonean manner. So you'll look for some lines to be repeated now and then.
So Saturday came along and I went to the girl's house. Her name was Betty Grable. She answered the door and we exchanged greetings.
Betty said, What do you have planned for tonight? I said I thought we could go roller skating. She said: Roller skating, you got to be kidding. If I fell and scratched my legs my curriar would be over. Get lost kreep. Slam.
The next girl I lined up was a local named Rita Hayworth.
Saturday night came and I rapped on Rita's door and we greeted each other. She said, What have you planned for this evening? I thought maybe we could take in an Oriole game. She said: You gotta be kidding! Suppose a foul ball came along and hit me in the head. My carrear would be over. Get lost, creep. Slam.
The next girl I lined up for Saturday night was Linda Darnell. I went to her house and we greeted each other and Linda said: What did you have planned for this evening? I said: Let's go down to Maryland Beach on the Chesapeake. She said: You gotta be kidding. If those jelly fish stung me on my legs and belly, my career would be over. Get lost creep. Slam.
All in all, I considered my dating life quite interesting. And would gladly like to start it again.
But not with local girls.
By the way, what is a carear?

Liquid Dosing for Water Treatment
Transvac has supplied thousands of Ejectors to the water treatment industries. Using liquid as the motive force, Transvac Liquid Jet Pumps can accurately entrain, mix and dilute a secondary liquid, eliminating the need for mechanical dosing pumps and mixers.
In operation, a high velocity jet of pressurised liquid discharged from the motive nozzle produces a region of low pressure in the suction chamber that entrains the secondary liquid. The two streams then thoroughly mix in the throat before the resulting mixture flows through the diverging cone to regain some pressure in order to overcome system discharge heads.
Examples of liquid jet pumps
Typical Applications
- Chemical Dosing & Dilution
- Polyelectrolyte Production
- Ion Exchange Resins
- Activated Carbon / Lime
- Sludge & Slurry Handling
- Caustic / Acid Dosing
- Neutralisation Process
- Blending
- Simple and reliable
- No moving parts
- In-line mixing
- Custom designed
- Materials to suit process
- No maintenance
Single units or complete skid mounted packaged systems are available, each unit is designed to specific process conditions. Standard materials of construction include rubber-lined, PVCu, PP, PTFE, PVFD, hastelloy, titanium, stainless steel and carbon steel. Connections included flanged, screwed, plain, hosetail, bauer and quick-release etc.

Saddened by the news of Mazaradi's tragic passing my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends #smsaudio
— 50cent (@50cent) January 4, 2014
A New York rapper once affiliated with hip hop star 50 Cent was gunned down in an ambush in Queens Friday that has left three others wounded. Jamal Green, known by his stage name Mazaradi Fox, was killed when a gunman in a black ski mask opened fire on an SUV he was in at the corner of Farmers Boulevard and 133rd Avenue just after 4pm, according to police.
Investigators said the mortally wounded 42-year-old rapper climbed out of the vehicle and collapsed on the snow-covered sidewalk, where he died. Mazaradi Fox was signed to 50 Cent's G-Unit record label in 2007 and appeared on several mixtape tracks with members of the crew, MTV.com reported. The rapper never released an official album and left his famous childhood friend's label a year later. The 42-year-old has had several run-ins with the law over the years. Court records indicate that Fox was released from prison December 20 after serving a two-year sentence for an attempted assault. In 1998, he was convicted of attempted murder.

Los Angeles based artist, Bishop Briggs, recently released her latest video to accompany her track, "Be Your Love." The unique thing about this, is that the emerging artist took a different route and released a lyrical video first for the track instead of actual visuals. Nonetheless the graphics behind the lyrics still make for an interesting sight.
Who is Bishop Briggs anyway? Well she is a British musician who has taken the industry by surprise as her alternative style of music has caught the ears of many. Sarah Grace McLaughlin, Briggs actual name, was born to a Scottish family but grew up mostly in Japan and Hong Kong before she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her career in music at the age of 18. She was discovered in a local bar and teamed up with Mark Jackson and Ian Brendon Scott to create her first hit single, "Wild Horses."
"Wild Horses" was a hit because of the amount of range that Briggs was able to show in just one song. After the success of this, Briggs spent most of the year 2016 touring with Coldplay and performing at numerous music festivals before actually releasing her debut album, titled Bishop Briggs, this past April.
What seems to make Briggs unique from other artist in her genre is her ability to mesh a numerous amount of genres into one. Her vocals are a power to reckon with as well as she has a wide range that can't be matched by any other alternative artist.
According to an interview done by coveteur.com, Briggs grew up listening to all kinds of music which is why her sound is so unique.
"I grew up listening to a lot of Motown music—I was really lucky that my parents were interested in that. They are both Scottish, and they love the Beatles, Aretha Franklin, and Otis Redding—that was hugely impactful. When I was younger, I was in a gospel choir for a couple years, and that was when I got introduced to this whole other world of soul, singing with emotion, and bringing in harmonies that are sometimes unexpected—that really opened my eyes."
One of the standout tracks on her latest album happens to be "River." "River" hits listeners head on with a strong percussion that transitions into a vibrant chorus highlighting Briggs soulful voice. It sort of puts listeners in mind of an Adele song. The lyrics to the song also help make the track a hit as she sings,
"How do we fall in love, Harder than a bullet could hit ya? How do we fall apart faster than a hair pin trigger?"
Other singles on the 6 track ep combine a little of dance like bass with trap influenced beats and her gospel vocals to create this new alternative sound that seems to be working for the emerging artist. Take a listen to her latest project below as Bishop Briggs continues to path a way for herself in the music industry.

We were approached by the Managing Director of Belvoir Lettings Southampton to help him produce a digital marketing strategy and to find a partner to work with that understood his business goals.
Outline strategy
Belvoir Lettings Southampton's Managing Director Brian Linehan knew that traditional marketing techniques were not getting him the results that he needed for his business. After first speaking to our Business Development Manager at Tillison Consulting, Brian met with our SEO Specialists to plan a strategy which matched his budget.
The overall strategy was to improve the visibility of Belvoir Lettings Southampton's website through Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). In the initial consultation with Brian it was agreed that we would target a small number of keywords that already featured in Google rankings, albeit on page 4 or below, and which would also attract local search traffic to the website. The search terms chosen were location-specific, critical for an Estate Agents SEO project, and our Specialists knew that by improving these rankings we would generate additional traffic to the website and ultimately more enquiries and sales for Brian and his team.
We would love to be part of your success
We began working with Belvoir Lettings Southampton in March 2014, with primary keywords ranking on pages 4-6 of Google. By January 2015, those keywords were on the first page of Google and generating 180% more organic website traffic and plenty of enquiries for the company.
In addition to the extra traffic created, we also configured Google Analytics so that the number of visits could be tracked more effectively in the future, giving Belvoir Lettings Southampton more meaningful data and measurement such as where customers come from when they visit the site, what medium they used and what pages are the best at converting visitors into enquiries.
From the outset the team at Tillison Consulting gave me confidence that we could do business with them, through their expert knowledge and understanding of SEO and digital marketing. The phone is ringing a hell of a lot more now and customers are coming to us with a precise requirement as they understand what we do. We have significantly reduced the amount of irrelevant calls.

"Geographers and GIScientists have long played key roles in climate change research, and the tools and methods of geography—including GIS—will be crucial to understanding, limiting, and adapting to climate change in the decades ahead.
"After years of delay and denial, responsible climate change research and responsive policy agendas are now assuming center stage in President Barack Obama's administration. Nearly all federal agencies now have legacy or newly mandated and funded research programs that actively seek to identify causes and impacts of global climate change and policies for mitigating or adapting to these impacts. Geography and GIScience, with long experience in the integration of the physical and social sciences, offer a well-placed bridge that can bring together the disparate natural and human system elements of climate change research and policy."

"The three-dimensional (3D) visualization of geospatial information constitutes a fundamental property of the geo-information services nowadays, along with the requirements of popularity, openness and capabilities of target measuring and knowledge mining. Accordingly, in this article, the two major technical routines now applied to 3D visualization of geospatial information, that is the graphics-based approaches and the imagery-based approaches, are both described and discussed. After a comparative analysis of both advantages and disadvantages of the two manifestation modes, an optimized integrative strategy for 3D visualization of geospatial information is proposed finally."

Session 4: Hydrologic Modeling I. Monday, 29 March, 1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Julie Coonrod, Department of Civil Engineering, Albuquerque, NM (co-authors: Kelly Isaacson, Venkatesh Merwade)
"River restoration projects in the vicinity of Albuquerque, New Mexico are often focused on the riparian forest. Exotic species are removed, while native cottonwood trees are planted. The cottonwood trees are 'pole planted' such that their roots tap into the groundwater table adjacent to the river. Such projects are located anywhere current cottonwood trees exist and not necessarily where groundwater depths have been estimated to determine likelihood of species survival. This work is aimed at utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) along with the Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System (RAS) to determine depth to groundwater as a function of river flow rate. The RAS model utilizes a terrain model developed by various data sets including point data from Light Detection and Ranging, surveyed cross-section points, and aerial photographs. The RAS model is calibrated with readily available flow gage data. In-channel water surfaces from RAS are combined with well data in GIS to create groundwater surfaces. The groundwater surfaces are thus created as a function of flow rate. Doing so allows for simulation of groundwater surfaces for average years, dry years, and wet years. Furthermore, climate change scenarios (that employed GIS methods) can be used to estimate changes in stream flow. These changes show the groundwater surface can drop below the depth that the cottonwood trees can reach. By subtracting the groundwater surface from the digital terrain, the depth to groundwater is determined. Locations where riparian vegetation will be most stressed can be identified."

Bhubaneswar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Bhubaneswar today and headed straight to take a stock of the situation in the affected areas of the city and adjoining Puri, in the aftermath of the extremely severe cyclone Fani.
Modi was received at Biju Patnaik International Airport by Governor Ganeshi Lal, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, Chief Secretary AP Padhi, DG Police Dr RP Sharma, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, BJP Odisha President Basant Panda, Aparajita Sarangi and Baijayant Panda.
He immediately proceeded to conduct an aerial survey of the Cyclone-hit areas and was accompanied by Naveen Patnaik and Ganeshi Lal. He took stock of the situation and marked the affected areas in his map. A large contingent of camera persons and experts has also come along with Modi who were seen accompanying him today.
Later in the day, he held discussions with senior officers of Telecom, Railway, Health and Energy departments. It is notable to mention here that Odisha Government has already begun relief and restoration work on a war-footing and has assured normalcy soon.
Meanwhile, the Centre has already released over Rs 300 crore in advance for Odisha's State Disaster Relief Fund. Modi has also announced Rs 1000 crore relief package for the FANI-affected districts, soon after the landfall of the Cyclone.

The end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 — along with being the Road to WrestleMania — is going to be a major free agent season in pro wrestling, likely the kind we haven't seen since WCW folded. With WWE seemingly snapping up any wrestler they can get their hands on (leading people like Kenny Omega to think we might be headed toward a monopoly), and TNA under new management and with their new direction and roster still to be determined, we might see a whole ass-ton (technical term) of wrestlers heading to WWE soon.
But it looks like one of the people who won't be reporting to the Performance Center any time soon is former Ring of Honor World Champion Jay Lethal. Lethal, who had a lengthy tenure in TNA before returning to ROH in 2011, had gone on the record in several interviews over the past year that he'd be interested in going to WWE before his career is over. At certain points in the past, there have also been reports indicating WWE might have mutual interest in him.
But according to Sean Radican at the PW Torch, Lethal has opted to re-sign with ROH. The new deal is reportedly an exclusive, two-year contract. Lethal joins The Young Bucks in re-upping with ROH rather than heading to new environs.
Other ROH contracts that will be up at the end of 2016 or early in 2017 include those of Adam Cole and current ROH World Champion Kyle O'Reilly, so keep your peepers peeled. Cole is almost certainly going to head to WWE, and it's possible that some other ROH talents could join him. We might be seeing some Bobby Fish in a big pond.

Learn about our Medical Review Board Doru Paul, MD Updated on March 19, 2019 Lung Cancer Overview Symptoms Causes Diagnosis Treatment Coping Morsa Images/DigitalVision/Getty Images In This Article Table of Contents Expand Intensive Care Ventilator Use Chest Tubes Length of Stay Home Recovery Complications View All After your lobectomy, you will go through a recovery period in the hospital and then at home. During this period you will be weaned from the ventilator, have your chest tube removed, and begin to resume eating and drinking. What can you expect when your surgery is over? What happens in the hospital, and in the days and weeks after you go home? Here, we are discussing your recovery after your lobectomy, but you may wish to learn more about the types of lobectomy, what the procedure is like, and the potential lobectomy complications and prognosis before your surgery. Before you have your lobectomy surgery you will probably wonder what your recovery will be like. Here's a general timeline of events that may help. Intensive Care When your surgery is complete, you will be taken to the recovery room where you will be monitored closely for several hours. A chest X-ray may be taken, and vital signs (such as heart rate and oxygen saturation) will be monitored until you are deemed safe to transfer. For the first day or so you may be monitored in the intensive care unit (ICU). The ICU is designed to take care of people who are very ill and are less focused on the needs of family and friends. Flowers are not usually allowed, and many people are limited to only a visitor or two at a time. Some physicians suggest that you limit visitors during this time to close friends and family, and encourage others to visit after you've been transferred to a regular hospital ward. Ventilator Use The breathing tube that allowed the ventilator to breathe for you during surgery is sometimes left in place while you are in recovery. Since this can cause some anxiety, you will be given medications that keep you very drowsy until the tube is removed. In most cases, the breathing tube can be removed on the same day as your surgery. The tube may be kept in place longer if a larger portion of the lung was removed or you have a chronic lung condition such as COPD. This does not necessarily mean that you are having complications. In most cases, it is simply that your lung capacity is such that more time is needed before you can breathe on your own. When the ventilator is removed and you become less sleepy, a respiratory therapist will ask you to cough and assist you in the use of an incentive spirometer. This is a device that you breathe into to exercise your lungs and helps to keep the small air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs open. Chest Tubes When you are able, the nursing staff will help you sit, and then encourage you to get up and walk with assistance. You may not feel like being active, but increasing activity will help you regain your strength more quickly and reduce the risk of developing blood clots. It's helpful to learn about how to prevent and recognize blood clots before your surgery, since these are not uncommon after lung cancer surgery, or even with lung cancer when surgery is not done. A chest tube will be kept in place until the surgeon is confident that the drainage has stopped and no air is leaking. The removal usually occurs three to four days after your surgery but may take longer if the surgery was extensive. Again, this does not mean your recovery is going poorly if the chest tube needs to be left in place longer than the average amount of time. Instead, surgeons wish to be cautious, and it's easier all the way around to leave a tube in place a little longer than to have to reinsert a tube. Length of Hospital Stay The length of your hospital stay can also vary by your age, health status, your response to post-operative care, and the type of surgery you had. Generally speaking, people will spend at least five to seven days in hospital following an open lobectomy and three to four days following a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Many people are anxious to get out of the hospital and return to their own bed, only to realize that perhaps they shouldn't have been so anxious to leave. Trust that your surgeon will understand when it's a good time to take those steps out of the hospital. Home Recovery Returning to your usual lifestyle can be a little frustrating following lung cancer surgery—especially if you were not having a lot of symptoms from your lung cancer prior to the procedure. Some people have found that it helps to notice progress every day—such as having tubes progressively removed. Focusing on the small steps forward rather than expecting yourself to be "back to normal" can be calming. Even if you were fit and in good health prior to your surgery, healing takes time. As you recover, you may notice that the fatigue you experience is unlike fatigue you have coped with previously. Cancer fatigue can be frustrating, especially if you are someone who has a hard time slowing down and taking it easy. Pace yourself when you return home and focus on the activities which take the most mental or physical energy early on in the day. Delegating tasks to others and learning to receive help may not only help you recover faster but ease the helplessness loved ones often feel. While you may be able to return to work in six to eight weeks, your doctor will advise you to avoid heavy lifting for the first several months. This is to prevent strain on the chest muscles and incision. Complications Complication following a lobectomy procedure is not uncommon. Persistent pain referred to as post-thoracotomy pain syndrome can sometimes persist for weeks and months. Even with pulmonary rehabilitation, it can take time to adjust to the reduced lung capacity. These are normal; you simply need to persist with recovery and have patience. On the other hand, there are conditions, such as infections and blood clots, that warrant immediate medical care. It is important to know the symptoms and when it is time to call a doctor. When to Call Your Doctor Call your doctor or seek emergency care if you experience:Fever of 100.4°F or higherRedness, swelling, and pain around the incisionBlood, pus, or unusual drainage from the incisionShortness of breath or pain with breathingSudden, severe chest painDizziness, confusion, or faintingCoughing with greenish-yellow or blood-tinged phlegm A Word From Verywell The recovery period after a lobectomy is different for everyone. To aid in your healing, keep practicing your breathing exercises and make an effort to avoid cigarettes (including second-hand some), respiratory infections (such as the cold and flu), and any environmental toxins, chemical fumes, or smoke.

Hi, David
Well, it might be the case that the collapse of capitalism helps us to re-think our ideas about learning, teaching, schooling and technology. But I don't think we need that excuse.
I also think it's dangerous to conflate the two sets of ideas. Many of the progressive debates abour de/re-schooling came from the analysis that education systems by and large exist to serve the needs of the state (most often, therefore, the needs of those with economic power to have at their disposal various segmentations/levels of labour).
'Progressive austerity' won't allow us space to rethink our ideas; it will just make life miserable for lots of people in the UK, make life even more miserable for people in other parts of the world, and wage wars to restoke its engines.
We seem to have been manoeuvred into a position of self-flagellation where austerity and cuts are the norm. It looks like a slightly more sophisticated version of "if you want the rich to work harder, you pay them more; if you want the poor to work harder, you pay them less".
This crisis is not the fault of labour; it is the fault of a capitalist class who, we now see (or saw - for a brief period before MPs' expenses and the undeserving poor caused the crisis), have found it difficult to organise the party in their own brewery.
One reason there has not been a coherent response and mass opposition is that the ideas sown by the war-mongers of new labour have grown healthily - and of course been happily promoted by cancerous media. So it's suddenly our fault and we are all accepting that cuts are the answer and we have to suffer for a while.
Well, I say b*****ks to that. David Hare's play 'The Power of Yes' argues that when capitalism brought itself its knees, a distinct form of socialism emerged to help the rich, in which bank after bank was bailed out by the government. When I argued a few years ago at a Shock of the New event in Oxford (perhaps slightly more coherently; I'm afraid the debate about the 'answer to the crisis' makes me increasingly and ageingly apoplectic) that capitalism was the problem and its crises were inevitable and ever deeper and that it had a philosophical off-spring in the concept of 'personalisation' I was accused of a 'marxist rant'.
Good! and, along with Joe Hill's "don't mourn, organise", I'd say "learning technologists of the world unite; you have nothing to lose but your guilt". Or something equally unsnappy.
All the best
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for taking the trouble to comment so thoughtfully.
There's a lot in what you say that I kind of empathise with... while at the same time I'm not sure how it helps me/us move forward, beyond identifying a very diffuse source of the problem — the capitalist class — and the general exhortation to mobilise against it. Like many independent self-employed professionals, I find myself being both 'labour' and aspiring 'capitalist class' (as co-founder of a few small businesses), so this class war actually gives me an identity crisis.
There is one point I disagree with. You write "'Progressive austerity' won't allow us space to rethink our ideas." To which I say (a) if that were true, then it wouldn't be progressive, and (b) why should that be true?
My mission, if I have one here, is precisely to prove the opposite: to refuse to be hemmed in by austerity and to reframe it to create the space for rethinking.
I concede I hadn't thought about (or had forgotten) your point that "Many of the progressive debates abour de/re-schooling came from the analysis that education systems by and large exist to serve the needs of the state." I probably need to think about — and/or discuss — that some more.
But, to frame it more or less in your language, my first instinct is to wonder whether self-organising citizens can co-opt and reinvent some of the state machinery to suit their own purposes. And, in this era of progressive austerity, it might actually serve the needs of the state to go along with this.
There are two ways the powerless can organise. One is to organise in direct opposition to existing power centres. The other (not mutually exclusive, and increasingly feasible with new tools for organising) is to create our/their own power centres and ignore/work round/subvert the existing ones. I guess I'm interested in exploring the latter option.Posted by David Jennings at September 29, 2009 5:43 PM
Thanks, David, and sorry for not responding earlier to this thoughtful reply to my comment. I've been on holiday and austerity-free for a few weeks! I'll get my thinking cap on again soon!Posted by Kevin Donovan at October 29, 2009 11:55 AM
Austerity measures are now a hot topic globally. Although it does cause large unrest in every country that it affects, can we argue against it? Aren't the measures aiming to improve the economy in the long run?Posted by Austerity Bill at December 17, 2010 1:57 PM

05 September 2014
FTSE 100 companies are responding to the new disclosure regulation and voting regime, and are changing their board practices for the better, according to a Deloitte report.
Deloitte's 2014 report on remuneration in FTSE 100 companies has found that more than three quarters of FTSE 100 companies have made changes to their remuneration arrangements in the past 12 months, to better align the interests of directors and shareholders by focusing more on the longer term, increasing the shareholding requirements for directors and introducing simpler remuneration structures.
Stephen Cahill, partner in the remuneration team at Deloitte, comments: 'This year we have seen an unprecedented amount of change to remuneration structures, undoubtedly prompted by more dialogue between companies and their shareholders following the new requirements on disclosure and voting.'
Most companies received a high level of support for both the remuneration policy and the annual remuneration report. 79% of companies received more than 90% of votes in favour of the remuneration report, compared with 80% of companies last year.
Cahill adds: 'Shareholders are taking a robust position where policies and practices are not considered to be in line with best practice.'
The report also found that 35 companies have implemented new long term incentive plans in the past 12 months, which is more than at any time in the last ten years.Additionally, there has been no change in the median potential bonus that may be paid in FTSE 100 companies generally but the median has decreased in the top 30 companies and actual bonus pay out amounts are continuing to decrease.

What New Online Casinos UK Bring in 2020?
Have you ever wondered, "Why should I try new online casinos when I already like many of the established casinos?"
Well, the answer is simple – for more and better quality fun. First of all, new online casinos are getting bolder with each year. They are not afraid to experiment with their casino offerings and strive to differentiate themselves from the rest of the casinos in the industry. So, you can expect a unique gaming experience on new online casinos. Now, whether that unique gaming experience translates to a fun and lucrative one is something that we can find only after trying. And, that's where we come in. We try these casinos ourselves and then share our experiences with you in the form of reviews. So, when we say that these are the top new online casinos in 2020, then you can be sure that they are a product of intense testing from our side.
Secondly, online casinos are different from land-based casinos in many respects. They must rely on technology to provide an immersive, enjoyable, and entertaining experience. Since the launch of the first online casino in the 1990s, online casinos have come a long way. Modern online casinos offer a sophisticated and extremely realistic gaming experience that is second to none. With each passing year, new online casinos emerge with new technologies to infuse fresh life into the online casino world. If you are lucky and join them fast, then you can enjoy their fantastic and superior gaming experience, and even grab the massive bonuses they offer. New casinos usually offer the biggest bonuses as they embark on customer acquisition campaigns.
So, let us do the job of bringing you the best new casinos in the United Kingdom, and you take your pick from that list of top new casinos above. You can even check out the various offers they are currently offering to help you make the choice.
Enjoy Big Bonuses From New Casinos
New UK casinos don't just bring you awesome new games and features. They also bring you ridiculous bonuses that you simply cannot get from any of the established casinos. New casinos are trying to get as popular as possible in a very short period of time. And, they are ready to pay lots of money to get popular fast. Some of the promotional offers new online casinos offer include:
- Welcome bonuses
- Signup bonuses
- No deposit bonuses
- Grand opening contests
- Free spins at slots games
- Free limited wagers
- Cashback bonuses
- And much more
A lot of new casino sites hand out free money to new customers to get them to start playing. So, new customers can use this to play on a variety of new online casinos. They are bound to end up making quite a lot of winnings on at least some of the casinos. But, know this. You might have to make a small cash deposit to actually withdraw your winnings.
Why You Should Choose a New UK Casino?
That's a great question, right? Why try a new casino when you are already playing at a reputed and popular casino?
Actually, there are many reasons why you should totally try new casinos. In fact, the best winning strategy always includes a good mix of new and old casinos. The best players always have some standard established players in their gaming mix, and keep experimenting with new ones to see if they can find a new favorite. Again, what's the point, you ask? The answer is innovation.
Unlike the popular perception, people who launch new casinos are not some noobs getting into the market for the first time. In most cases, they have been in this industry for multiple decades. Some of them come from physical casinos; some of them have previously worked as employees in other online casinos. They bring with them a wealth of knowledge and experience.
As someone who knows this business inside out, they know what is working, what is not, and can introduce something totally new to the industry. They often end up launching new games, offer phenomenal features that no other casino has, or something totally fresh. Established online casinos are averse to experimentation and innovation. They like their stability and their philosophy goes, "why change something that is working perfectly fine?" Quite frankly, there is merit in their thinking, but the players don't get anything new and exciting from them. That's the job for the new casinos.
CasinoRunner has a special place in its heart for the truly innovative casinos that can dazzle us with their awesomeness. After all, our team has seen it all in this industry. Very few things actually surprise them. If any new casino manages to blow the minds of our seasoned team, then it instantly gets a spot on our list of New Casinos to check out this season.
Frequently Asked Questions About New Casinos.
3 Online Casino Secrets They Don't Want You To Know
There's an adage in the world of casinos – The House Always Wins. The casino business is a profitable business. The fact that there are thousands of successful casinos – both online and land-based – is evidence of the fact that they keep winning, despite the many jackpot wins that you hear about. Clearly, they are making more money than they are losing. That doesn't mean you can't win. It's just that you must understand how casinos work. These 3 secrets will help you become a better and "luckier" online casino player.
1. Know Your Luck
Here's the thing. The average percentage of return to the player (RTP) on land-based casinos, for the money they bet, can be surprisingly low. What's more, land-based casinos are not even required to list the RTPs of their games. So, it can be as low as 75% or even lower.
However, in the case of online casinos, a listing of RTPs is mandatory for the games. Typically, most games, especially the slots machines come with impressive RTPs of 96% or even higher. So, the more you play casino games with higher RTPs, the greater your chances of winning.
2. It's Not All Blind Luck
A bulk of the casino games, especially the slots machines, are totally random and you've zero control over your chances of winning, as they are completely automated. On the other hand, a number of games like poker, baccarat, blackjack, and other table games require considerable skills to win. In fact, if you follow the games and suggestions of top expert winners (not one-time winners), you can crack the code to winning.
Know this – to win at casino games, you must pack some serious math skills.
3. Bonuses: They Are Not All Pretty
While it's quite common for the online casinos to hand out hundreds, even thousands, of euros in real money bonuses, these bonuses come with a multitude of terms and conditions.
Accepting these bonuses often means that you cannot withdraw your winnings until you complete the wager requirements associated with these bonuses. These wager requirements can be a fair 30 times or a predatory 70-80 times. So, check out the bonus terms before you sign up to a new casino.
New Mobile Casinos have a Mobile-First-Approach
More than 50% of internet usage comes from mobile devices these days. That's why new casino operators are taking the mobile-first approach. They build their casino to work perfectly across a multitude of platforms, including Android devices, iOS devices, desktops, and laptops. This makes the new casinos the hot favorites for the newest generation of gamblers, who spend more of their time on their smart devices than on the computers.
We go the extra mile to test a new casino on all the platforms it supports and share our experience with you. So, you'll know which new casino works best on which platform.
Android Casinos
The problem with established casinos is that they are slow to adapt to change. They have been desktop-first since their inception and they see no reason as to why they should change that. Even when they do launch a mobile app, it almost always has only the basic features and offers a sub-par experience for the players. On the contrary, new casino operators do not even launch their casino until they have a version for the most popular platforms. Naturally, they all have an android version that is as feature-rich as the desktop version. Therefore, their mobile apps provide a far superior casino gambling experience than their established counterparts.
iOS Casinos
New online casinos also make it a point to have a version for iPhones and iPads. In fact, they optimize their casino for the iOS, as it is one of the biggest mobile platforms in the world. Also, a strong presence on the iOS platform improves the trustworthiness of an online casino. So, a majority of the new breed of online casinos, who are serious about staying in this business for a long time, make it a point to release an iOS version at the time of their launch itself.
We guide you to all New Casino Bonuses in 2020
Casinos are always offering a variety of bonuses for their new and existing customers to get them to play more on their website. Most of the times, these bonuses sound great when you hear about them. But, when you sign up, you realize that there are tons of other conditions to actually get the bonuses. Or, the bonuses prove to be not as big as they were advertised. If you don't want to fall prey to such false promotions, then check out our list of verified casinos with real bonuses. We do the dirty work of verifying the promotions of various new casinos and once we are satisfied with them, we list those new casinos and their bonuses here.
And one more thing. Established casinos do not usually have a blockbuster bonus that will truly blow your mind. That's the domain of the new casinos. At this page we present some of the mind-blowing bonuses typically offered by new casinos.
How Free Spins are used by new online casinos
Free spins are another amazing type of bonuses offered by casinos for players. In fact, free spins are preferred by many serious gambling players, as against cash bonuses. Free spins on specific games allow players to easily calculate the odds of their wins and decide whether they would like to sign up or not.
Secondly, new casinos offer plenty of free spins on not just one or two games, but a huge variety of games. Players can select the games that they have the best chance of winning and then use their free spins to try their luck. No deposits. Just use free spins to reap your winnings.
No Deposit Bonuses on newly released casinos
Casinos that hand out no deposit bonuses are the casino world equivalent of a gold rush. You have to take maximum benefit of them when you can because their promotions are short-lived.
So what is a No Deposit Bonus? Most casinos typically offer a lot of bonuses. But, you can cash out or use those bonuses to play games at the casino only when you make an actual deposit on their website. But, new casinos often hand out bonuses that do not require you to make any deposits. So, you can place your bets using the bonus money, which is real money by the way, and play the games you like on the casino without actually shelling out any money of your own. If you win any of the games, you take home the money. This simply can't get any better than this!
300% Bonuses at New Casinos
New casinos are always very generous about handing out bonuses to get signups from new customers. One of the best type of bonuses they offer are the high roller bonuses. These bonuses can be 100% bonuses, 200% bonuses, 300% bonuses, or even higher.
For instance, in the case of 100% bonus, the casino matches the deposit made by the player. In the case of 200% bonus, the casino adds to the player's account €2 for every €1 deposit they make. Likewise, when they are offering 300% bonus, the casino tops the player's deposit by 3 times.
However, there's a catch here. The casinos usually offer these bonus up to a certain cash limit. Say, the bonus offer may be something like 200% bonus up to a maximum of €100 cash, 400% bonus up to a maximum of €80 cash, and so on.
For someone who is still new to the casino world, the highest bonus percentage offers the most value. But, for seasoned high roller players, it makes more sense to go for a higher cash cap bonus, even if the bonus percentage is lower.
Customer Service at New Casino Sites
This is one area where new casinos win hands down against the established players in this industry. Given time, even the best casinos begin to get complacent and lose their focus on providing a great experience for their customers. Indeed, this is one of the top reasons why even the seasoned casino players prefer new casinos over the older ones. Once they get popular, the casinos almost always focus more of their attention on making more money rather than actually providing a better gambling experience. But, new casinos are highly focused on their customers' needs.
When the casinos are new, they cannot afford to lose even a single customer. That is why they usually have a robust customer support in place to attend to the grievances of their customers. At CasinoRunner, we keep track of the reputation of all new casinos' customer support systems. In fact, we discuss this aspect of casinos abundantly when we are reviewing individual casinos. Also, when we realize that a casino's customer support has gone to the trash, we promptly downgrade it to the bottom of our list, if not take it off our list completely.
Your gambling experience is what matters to us the most.


text: Pulp digesters can be continuous or batch reactors with significant residence time which are fed with woodchips and cooking chemicals. They deliver the pulp-fibers that are used in the production of paper, as well as black liquor that is combusted in the chemical recovery boiler. The possibility to measure what is happening inside the digester is limited. The most important quality properties of the feedstock material is content of lignin, which is being dissolved during the process, and related material reactivity. Pulp quality after the process is measured by Kappa number which is a measure of residual lignin in the pulp. One of the biggest challenges in pulp production process is the great variability in feedstock material properties. If the process is not adjusted by well-timed and appropriate operational control measures i.e. control of inlet and outlet flows and setting of the cooking recipe, it will result in the large variations in Kappa number, lower fiber quality or excess use of environmentally harmful cooking chemicals. This becomes particularly important during the swing between softwood and hardwood as part of meeting the final paper product quality requirements. Therefore, a rapid method that is capable of continuous feedstock material characterization is required.Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy can be used for non-destructive characterization of the feedstock material. In this study, both Fourier transform and grating NIR spectrophotometers were used for NIR absorbance spectra acquisition. Each spectrum was recorded in the range between 700 and 2500 nm. During the calibration of spectra of various wood species with known lignin content, wood samples were placed on a tray so that the tray may move horizontally in a reciprocating manner underneath the sensor while maintaining the constant distance between the sensor and sample. This was done in order to simulate the movement of a real conveyor belt as used for transporting feedstock to the digester. In the on-line application the NIR meter is situated above the conveyor belt that wood up to the digester.Spectral data were pretreated with different methods such as normalization, scatter correction, smoothing, first and second derivative (Savitzky-Golay algorithm), selection of different spectral ranges and its combinations. Mathematical models to estimate lignin content were constructed using Partial Least Square Regression (PLS-R) and Principle component regression (PCR) statistical methods. Response data for model build-up were determined in the chemical laboratory according to standardized procedures including test repetitions. Different combinations of NIR instrument used, pre-treatment methods and statistical methods were evaluated in order to find the model with the best prediction performance.Results are promising and demonstrate that it is possible to characterize the lignin content and reactivity of the feedstock material by NIR spectrophotometers with reasonable prediction model performance. Improved prediction can be obtained if only selected spectral ranges are included as an input for statistical modelling; similarly using derivatives is better than using the raw spectrum. In the next step, developed statistical models for rapid lignin content prediction will be used as a feed-forward input for dynamic process control.
