PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Mosquito samples collected in three Rhode Island communities have tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), the Rhode Island Departments of Health and Environmental Management announced Friday.
The mosquitoes were trapped June 26 in Tiverton, Pawtucket and Westerly. State officials said the species primarily bites birds, but residents are still urged to protect against bites.
These are the first findings of EEE in Rhode Island this year. Currently there are no reported human cases of EEE in the state, according to officials.
In addition to EEE, Rhode Island also tests mosquitoes for West Nile Virus. So far this year, there have been no confirmed findings or human cases in Rhode Island.
Mosquito-borne illnesses are more prevalent in the late summer and early fall and the risk lasts at least until the first frost. Residents are encouraged to protect against bites and eliminate mosquito breeding grounds.
Officials offered the following tips:
- Remove anything around your house and yard that collects water; just one cup of water can produce hundreds of mosquitoes.
- Clean gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage, and repair holes in window screens.
- Remove any water from unused swimming pools, wading pools, boats, planters, trash and recycling bins, tires, and anything else that collects water, and cover them.
- Change the water in birdbaths at least two times a week, and rinse out birdbaths once a week.
- Use EPA-approved bug spray with one of the following active ingredients: DEET (20-30% strength), picaridin, IR3535, and oil of lemon eucalyptus or para-menthane-diol. Do not use bug spray on infants under 1 year of age.
- Minimize outdoor activity at dawn and at dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
- Put insect netting over strollers and playpens.
- Wear long sleeves and long pants whenever possible, particularly if you are outdoors during dawn and dusk.
According to the DEM, humans are not the only ones who can contract EEE or West Nile Virus. Horses are particularly susceptible, so officials advise horse owners to vaccinate their animals early in the season and practice the following:
- Remove or cover areas where standing water can collect.
- Avoid putting animals outside at dawn, dusk or during the night when mosquitoes are most active.
- Insect proof facilities where possible and use approved repellents frequently.
- Monitor animals for symptoms of fever and/or neurological signs (such as stumbling, depression, loss of appetite) and report all suspicious cases to a veterinarian immediately. If you are unsure if your horse is properly vaccinated you should consult with your veterinarian.
- Horses are the most susceptible domestic animal, but other, less common species such as ratites (emus, ostriches, etc.) and camelids (alpacas and llamas) are occasionally infected. Owners of ratites and camelids should consult with their veterinarian regarding vaccination of their particular animals.
Rhode Islanders are also reminded to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites when traveling to Zika-affected countries. Pregnant women and women who are considering becoming pregnant should not travel to countries with active transmission of Zika.Click here to learn more about disease-monitoring efforts in Rhode Island.

Google Has Just Bought Motorola For $12.5 Billion
You heard that right. Google have just bought Motorola for $12.5 billion, something which I don't think people were expecting at all.
Press Release
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. & LIBERTYVILLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MMI) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Google will acquire Motorola Mobility for $40.00 per share in cash, or a total of about $12.5 billion, a premium of 63% to the closing price of Motorola Mobility shares on Friday, August 12, 2011. The transaction was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies.
"Motorola Mobility's total commitment to Android has created a natural fit for our two companies. Together, we will create amazing user experiences that supercharge the entire Android ecosystem for the benefit of consumers, partners and developers. I look forward to welcoming Motorolans to our family of Googlers."
The acquisition of Motorola Mobility, a dedicated Android partner, will enable Google to supercharge the Android ecosystem and will enhance competition in mobile computing. Motorola Mobility will remain a licensee of Android and Android will remain open. Google will run Motorola Mobility as a separate business.
Larry Page, CEO of Google, said, "Motorola Mobility's total commitment to Android has created a natural fit for our two companies. Together, we will create amazing user experiences that supercharge the entire Android ecosystem for the benefit of consumers, partners and developers. I look forward to welcoming Motorolans to our family of Googlers."
Sanjay Jha, CEO of Motorola Mobility, said, "This transaction offers significant value for Motorola Mobility's stockholders and provides compelling new opportunities for our employees, customers, and partners around the world. We have shared a productive partnership with Google to advance the Android platform, and now through this combination we will be able to do even more to innovate and deliver outstanding mobility solutions across our mobile devices and home businesses."
Andy Rubin, Senior Vice President of Mobile at Google, said, "We expect that this combination will enable us to break new ground for the Android ecosystem. However, our vision for Android is unchanged and Google remains firmly committed to Android as an open platform and a vibrant open source community. We will continue to work with all of our valued Android partners to develop and distribute innovative Android-powered devices."
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals in the US, the European Union and other jurisdictions, and the approval of Motorola Mobility's stockholders. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2011 or early 2012.
At a price of $40 per share the total comes to about $12.5 billion. Google are hoping this acquisition will "supercharge the Android ecosystem" and will be making Motorola a dedicated partner for Android.
This unseen move may or may not upset its other Android partners such as HTC, Samsung, LG...etc. With Google concentrating on making Motorola devices the best they can be. It may also mean that Motorola devices will get exclusive Android functions and features before any other manufacturers.
Google has pledged that it will continue to offer Android as an open source platform.
With the purchase of Motorola, Google will now have over 17,000 patents with another 7500 pending under its belt. There has been an on-going war with patents between Microsoft, Apple and Google. Google recently came out saying that Microsoft and Apple don't know how to compete so they instead fight with patents. With all these patents Google will be able to fight back and get everyone off Androids back, making Android more secure and powerful against the competition.
I'm guessing the next Nexus phone will also be made by Motorola. We will have to wait and see.

WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump has signed an executive order making it a crime to excessively stockpile personal protective equipment that is needed by medical personnel fighting the coronavirus pandemic.
Attorney General William Barr says the Justice Department has already launched investigations into people who are hoarding supplies and price gouging. He says investigators will go after people who are "hoarding these goods on an industrial scale for the purpose of manipulating the market."
The executive order allows the president to designate some items as "scarce."

Barr says, "If you are sitting on a warehouse with surgical masks, you will be hearing a knock on your door."
No specific items have been identified yet and the Justice Department will work with Health and Human Services to enforce the president's order.

Before Launch Digital was even a napkin idea, Chris worked as a freelance designer before joining two Digital Agency start-ups. It is here where he developed his passion for building practical and effective marketing strategies for small business owners.

Chris watched from the sidelines as small business owners struggled to keep up with the rapidly evolving marketing landscape. They could not afford the fees that large digital agencies charge, and as a result were being left behind. It was then that he decided to take the leap and start his own Digital Agency so that he could really make a change.

Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa's government will scrap its plan to remove grain subsidies next year, a move it says will protect impoverished citizens from rising food prices, state media reported on Thursday.
The country is experiencing its worst economic crisis in a decade, marked by soaring inflation and shortages of food, fuel, medicines and electricity.
Half of Zimbabwe's population needs food aid after a devastating drought across the southern Africa region, worsened by an economy expected to shrink by 6.5% this year and month-on-month inflation at a four-month high of 38.75%.
Zimbabwe's grain agency buys grain from farmers and releases it onto the market at subsidised prices, costing the treasury tens of millions of U.S. dollars. The government had planned to remove the subsidy in its 2020 budget.
Mnangagwa was quoted in the state-owned Herald newspaper as saying that would no longer happen.
"We cannot remove the subsidy," he was quoted as saying. "So I am restoring it so that the price of mealie-meal is also reduced (next year)."
The removal of the government's grain subsidy would have seen a 10 kg bag of maize meal, the country's staple, costing 102 Zimbabwean dollars (about US$6.30), against 60 Zimbabwe dollars now, in a country with 90% unemployment.
Last week, the government removed import controls on maize and wheat flour to try to prevent food shortages.
Zimbabwe's reintroduction of a local currency after 10 years of dollarisation, coupled with the removal of subsidies on fuel and electricity, unleashed inflation, triggering frequent and sometimes deadly protests against Mnangagwa's government.
Rights groups say at least 17 people were killed and hundreds were arrested in January, after security forces cracked down on protests against fuel price increases. Police have banned further protests.
Early hopes that Mnangagwa, who took over from the long-ruling former president Robert Mugabe after a November 2017 coup, would revive the economy are fast fading amid a worsening economic crisis and slow-paced political reforms.

Zimbabwe's central bank chief, John Mangudya, said he would introduce a new currency in the next two weeks to address biting liquidity shortages in the economy and regain monetary policy control after years of dollarisation.
Mangudya told journalists in the capital on Tuesday that the as-of-yet-unnamed currency will have denominations of coins and notes with a maximum value of five Zimbabwe dollars (US$0.25).
"We are going to be releasing money into circulation. To be precise, within the next two weeks, we will have the new currency," Mangudya said.
He said the new currency would trade along with the bond notes and the coins and would have the same value as these surrogate currencies.
Mangudya defended the bank's decision to have a note worth only five Zimbabwe dollars as the highest denomination in a hyperinflationary environment, saying he wanted uniformity with the denominations that were already in the market.
Mangudya said that in line with the law, Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa must agree to the creation of a new monetary unit. After he assents, the minister of finance will then issue a decree, paving the way for the printing of the currency.
Zimbabwe 's inflation was last measured at 350% after Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube ordered the country's statistical department to stop publishing annual inflation numbers until February of next year.
Back in 2009, soaring inflation prompted Zimbabwe to ditch its failing sovereign currency in favour of a basket of foreign currencies led by the United States dollar. But "dollarising" the economy hit a major bump in 2015 when greenbacks started vanishing from the formal banking system.
In a bid to end the US dollar shortage, Zimbabwe's central bank introduced bond notes – a form of surrogate currency – that was backed by a US$200 million bond facility from the Africa Export-Import Bank. But black market speculation quickly eroded the bond note value, triggering a shortage that the central bank tried to offset by creating electronic notes.
Then this past February, bond notes – both physical and electronic – were merged into the Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) dollar.
In June, the government moved to defend the Zimdollar against speculators by banning all foreign currencies in local transactions. But the effort has largely failed after the Zimdollar quickly fell prey to black market speculation that sent its value plummeting.
"There is a misconception that once you introduce a currency, then inflation is going to increase. We are simply giving people a chance to choose between electronic balances and cash," said central bank chief Mangudya.
Economists are not holding out hope for the new currency.
"The only worry about a local currency is excessive money printing by the central bank, which makes multiple currencies dearer options when forced to choose," Victor Bhoroma, a Harare-based independent economist, told Al Jazeera.
"The solution for Zimbabwe does not lie in any new currencies [whether Zimbabwean dollars or foreign currencies]."
The solution, according to Bhoroma, is instituting key reforms in governance, reining in expenditures in government, creating supply-side interventions to boost production, engaging in confidence-building, and strengthening institutions – such as the rule of law, property rights, and policy consistency.
Gift Mugano, an economics professor at Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University, told Al Jazeera that the introduction of the currency will accelerate its own value decline.
The new currency will have the same value as the bond note and RTGS dollars circulating in the economy.
"This is a continuation of a process that started on 24 June when the central bank outlawed the use of the US dollar and introduced a new currency," Mugano said.
"What is important to note is that they did this when economic fundamentals were very weak. The fundamentals have not improved as we speak.
"The central bank doesn't have the reserves to back the value of the currency and has only a month's import cover at best. It's going to be difficult to maintain the value of the currency."
Mugano said the bond note and the RTGS dollar, the Zimbabwe dollar's predecessor, had failed to act as a store of value, forcing ordinary Zimbabweans and companies to buy US dollars to preserve value.
He sees companies using the new currency to acquire US dollars.
"What will happen is very simple: companies will get cash to buy US dollars and then the rate will go higher as more cash chases the few US dollars in the market," Mugano said. "The pressure on the exchange rate will be higher."
The RTGS dollar and Zimbabwe's surrogate currency, the bond note, have both struggled to hold value against the US dollar as demand outstrips supply.
Once valued at 1:1 with the greenback, the currency is now trading at 1:20 against the US dollar on the black market.
"It is obvious the Zimbabwean dollar will not hold any value because of negative fundamentals in the economy which include key among them confidence deficit and high demand for foreign currency to import commodities [current account deficit]," Bhoroma said.
"It is also inevitable that the central bank will continue to grow money supply in the economy to fund runaway government expenditure. This will further weaken the local currency."
This year alone, the economy in Zimbabwe is contracting by more than 6.5%.

Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Friday described Western sanctions as a "cancer" sapping the economy, and his supporters denounced the measures during marches held around the southern African country.
Mnangagwa's opponents stayed away from the demonstrations, saying they were a distraction from the president's mishandling of the economy, which is grappling with 18-hour daily power cuts and shortages of foreign exchange, fuel and medicines.
Mnangagwa has so far failed to unify the country since taking over from the late Robert Mugabe, who was ousted in a coup in 2017. Hopes of a swift recovery have faded as the economy struggles to exit its deepest crisis in a decade.
Mnangagwa, like Mugabe, blames the sanctions imposed by the United States and European Union since 2001 for the economic ills and sees them as a tool to remove the ruling ZANU-PF party from power.
"Every part and sector of our economy has been affected by these sanctions like a cancer," Mnangagwa told a few thousand supporters inside a 60,000-seater national stadium. "Enough is enough, remove them. Remove these sanctions now!"
Earlier, 7,000 government supporters led by Mnangagwa's wife Auxillia and bussed from across Zimbabwe marched for 5 km to the national stadium in the capital Harare.
Singing and dancing, they waved placards inscribed "No sanctions, no discrimination, sanctions new version of slavery," and "Enough is enough, remove sanctions now."
"We have no jobs because of the sanctions. America wants to remove ZANU-PF from power through sanctions but we will defend the party and our president," said 32-year-old Martin Mafusire.
Similar marches were held throughout Zimbabwe after Mnangagwa declared Friday a public holiday.
The EU and United States imposed financial and travel bans on ZANU-PF and top military figures for alleged human rights abuses and electoral fraud. The government says the measures are punishment for its seizures of white-owned farms.
ZANU-PF supporters condemn the sanctions while the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change says they are not the cause of the country's economic crisis.
The regional Southern African Development Community has rallied behind Zimbabwe's call for an end to sanctions.
While the government ran documentaries and articles in the official press criticising sanctions, the U.S. and EU embassies took to social media to rebut the official narrative.
U.S. Ambassador Brian Nichols wrote an article in a private newspaper on Thursday saying "the greatest sanctions on Zimbabwe are the limitations that the country places on itself".
He said the United States remained the biggest donor to Zimbabwe but corruption and lack of reform had dragged down the economy.
Harare says the U.S. sanctions have been the most devastating. These bar U.S. officials at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank from voting for debt relief or fresh lending for Zimbabwe.
In March, President Donald Trump extended by one year sanctions against 141 entities and individuals in Zimbabwe, including Mnangagwa.
Zimbabwe's militant teachers' group, Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) says its members will from today start reporting for duty only twice a week as they could no longer afford transport fares to and from work.
This, they announced through a Friday letter they addressed to Public Service Commission chairperson, Vincent Hungwe.
PTUZ secretary general Raymond Majongwe said teachers under his 15 000-member union will also be abandoning formal dressing during their course of duty as they can no longer afford the clothing.
He said teachers' earnings have been eroded by continued price increases that have propelled the country's inflation to an alarming 591 percent, according to top world economist Steve Hanke.
"We hereby give our notice of incapacitation and with effect from Monday the 21st of October 2019 our members will be reporting for duty twice a week at most," Majongwe said.
"Mr Chairman, teachers would also like to advise and notify you that because of their plight, they will no longer be able to abide by the Strict Dress Code Rules as the little pittance they are getting is not adequate to feed them and their families, let alone buy formal clothing."
Majongwe said teachers under his organisation will only resume full time duty when government starts paying their wages based on the US dollar interbank rates, which on Friday stood at $15.8 against USD$1.
"Our humble and honest request to government is simply a radical adjustment of teachers' salaries to the last USD salary paid, at the current interbank rate, that is pegged at $15.8 today," he said.
The pending job action by the radical teachers group comes as junior doctors working in the country's public hospitals Friday went into Day 47 of their crippling strike demanding a review of their wages and allowances based on interbank rates.
The doctors insist they were prepared to report for work, but they were financially incapacitated to do so.
Government has offered the critical health staff a 60 percent wage hike which has been turned down by doctors who want their salaries pegged against the US dollar.
According to latest wage talks, government Friday revised the offer to 100 percent.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa Thursday accused the striking doctors of being used by the enemy to advance a regime change agenda against his under-fire administration.

Striking Zimbabwean doctors defied a government ultimatum to return to work on Monday, after rejecting a 60% pay rise offer they say is not enough to keep up with soaring prices of basic goods.
The southern African nation's economy is grappling with its worst crisis in a decade, with triple-digit inflation, rolling power cuts and shortages of U.S. dollars, medicines and fuel that have revived memories of the 2008 hyperinflation under late President Robert Mugabe.
The Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association (ZHDA), the union for junior and middle level doctors in the public sector, on Monday pulled out of the Health Apex Council that represents public health workers in negotiations with the government, saying it no longer served their interests.
The association said the government offer was "ridiculous" as it would take their monthly salaries to around 1,700 Zimbabwe dollars ($111), well below their demand of a 400% salary hike.
More than 100 of its members marched at the main Parirenyatwa Hospital in Harare on Monday demanding higher pay and vowing not to return to work.
The doctors have been on strike for more than a month, which has seen some patients being turned away from public hospitals already struggling with shortages of medicines.
ZHDA said in a statement that the government was not willing to address their concerns but had instead responded with "intimidation and threats of disciplinary action or dismissals."
"The will and desire is there but the means to execute their (the doctors') duties does not exist," it said.
Health Minister Obadiah Moyo, who on Saturday issued the ultimatum for doctors to return to work on Monday or face disciplinary action, said he could not immediately comment.
Tapiwa Mungofa, the ZHDA treasurer, later told reporters that the World Health Organisation and other United Nations agencies should help raise funding for Zimbabwe's health sector and broker a solution to end the strike.
The doctors want their salaries indexed to the U.S. dollar because the Zimbabwe dollar is losing value against the greenback while earnings are being eroded by inflation, which the International Monetary Fund said stood at nearly 300% in August.
The government lifted the price of diesel and petrol by up to 27% on Saturday, which was followed by increases in the prices of goods like sugar, cooking oil and milk and transport.
Last week, President Emmerson Mnangagwa pleaded for time and patience to revive the economy.
Hopes that it would quickly rebound under Mnangagwa, who took over after Mugabe was deposed in a coup in November 2017, have faded fast, as Zimbabweans grapple with inflation that has eroded earnings and savings.
Zimbabwean public sector doctors went on strike on Tuesday for the second time in less than a year to demand a further salary increase amid soaring living costs, as President Emmerson Mnangagwa's government struggles with a deteriorating economy.
Zimbabwe is mired in its worst economic crisis in a decade, with triple-digit inflation, rolling power cuts and shortages of U.S. dollars, basic goods, medicines and fuel that have revived memories of the hyperinflation that forced it to ditch its currency in 2009.
Mnangagwa's government has proposed big pay rises for doctors and other public sector workers in an attempt to avert crippling strikes. Police have banned a series of protests called by the opposition in major cities and have used tear gas and water cannon to disperse demonstrators.
The main unions representing doctors and teachers, who make up the bulk of public service workers, said they had rejected the government's salary offers, which would see the lowest paid worker earning 1,023 Zimbabwe dollars ($90.45) a month.
The doctors accepted their 60% pay increase but said it was not sufficient to avert the strike action. The teachers are not currently on strike.
The doctors are looking for another 401% pay hike that they want indexed to the U.S. dollar.
"We met with the government representatives yesterday and they promised to expedite other allowances for health personnel but so far it has just been empty promises," the head of the Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association (ZHDA), Peter Magombeyi, told Reuters.
"They have taken us for granted for too long, but we are ready to go back to work as soon as they offer us something tangible, which has not been forthcoming so far."
At the turn of the year, junior doctors held a 40-day strike for better pay and conditions that crippled public hospitals. It ended without a deal being reached and with doctors threatening further stoppages.
Most junior doctors stayed away on Tuesday at the largest two public hospitals, Parirenyatwa and Harare Central, a Reuters witness said.
A few junior doctors turned up to work, but said they would not report for work on Wednesday. Some senior doctors also said they would join the strike.
"Today we were assessing the situation but we are not coming in tomorrow(Today). The strike will be in full swing," a junior doctor at Harare Central Hospital told Reuters.
The Health Services Board (HSB), which represents the government, said in a statement late on Monday that it was surprised the doctors were taking strike action despite accepting the earlier pay offer.
ZHDA wants wages, which were previously pegged to the U.S. dollar, to be paid at the prevailing inter-bank market rate and says its members can no longer afford to report for duty due to surging inflation and the deterioration in the economy.
Their current salaries are worth less than 10% of what they were before the peg was scrapped due to high inflation.
Zimbabwe dollar is trading at 11.31 against the U.S. dollar in the interbank market and 13.10 in the black market. Both rates are used to buy goods.

Since the November 2017 coup that toppled Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe and the elections in 2018, the regime of President Emmerson Mnangagwa has forged two forms of rule. These have been based on coercion on the one hand, and on the other dialogue.
Following the 2018 general elections and the violence that marked its aftermath, the Mnangagwa regime once again resorted to coercion in the face of the protests in January 2019. The protests were in response to the deepening economic crisis in the country, and part of the opposition strategy to contest the legitimacy of the government.
The response of the state to the protests was swift and brutal. Seventeen people were killed and 954 jailed nationwide. In May the state turned its attention to civic leaders, arresting seven for "subverting" a constitutional government. The repressive state response was felt once again on 16 and 19 August, when the main opposition Movement for Democratic Chance (MDC) and civic activists were once again prevented from marching against the rapid deterioration of Zimbabwe's economy.
These coercive acts represent a continuation of the violence and brutality of the Mugabe era.
At the same time Mnangagwa has pursued his objective of global re-engagement and selective national dialogue. This is in line with the narrative that has characterised the post-coup regime.
In tracking the dialogue strategy of the Mnangagwa government, it is apparent that it was no accident that key elements of it were set in motion in the same period as the agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on a new staff monitored programme.
The purported objective is to move the Zimbabwe Government towards an economic stabilisation programme. This would result in a more balanced budget, in a context in which excessive printing of money, rampant issuing of treasury bills and high inflation, were the hallmarks of Mugabe's economic policies.
The dialogue initiatives also took place in the context of renewed discussions on re-engagement with the European Union (EU) in June this year.
But, Mnangagwa's strategy of coercion and dialogue has hit a series of hurdles. These include the continued opposition by the MDC. Another is the on-going scepticism of the international players about the regime's so-called reformist narrative.
Mnangagwa has launched four dialogue initiatives.
Political Actors: This involves about 17 political parties that participated in the 2018 elections. They all have negligible electoral support and are not represented in parliament. The purported intent is to build a national political consensus. The main opposition party, the MDC, boycotted the dialogue, dismissing it as a public relations exercise controlled by the ruling Zanu-PF.
The Presidential Advisory Council: This was established in January to provide ideas and suggestions on key reforms and measures needed to improve the investment and business climate for economic recovery. This body is largely composed of Mnangagwa allies.
The Matabeleland collective: This is aimed at building consensus and an effective social movement in Matabeleland to influence national and regional policy in support of healing, peace and reconciliation in this region. But it has come in for some criticisms. One is that it has been drawn into Mnangagwa's attempt to control the narrative around the Gukurahundi massacres. These claimed an estimated 20 000 victims in the Matabeleland and Midlands regions in the early 1980's. Another criticism is that it has exacerbated the divisions within an already weakened civic movement by regionalising what should be viewed as the national issue of the Gukurahundi state violence.
The Tripartite National Forum. This was launched in June, 20 years after it was first suggested by the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions. The functions of this body set out in an Act of Parliament, include the requirement to consult and negotiate over social and economic issues and submit recommendations to Cabinet; negotiate a social contract; and generate and promote a shared national socio-economic vision.
The establishment of the forum could provide a good platform for debate and consensus. But there are dangers. The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions warned of the long history of the lack of "broad based consultation on past development programmes". It insists that
reforms must never be deemed as tantamount to erosion of workers' rights.
The strategy
In assessing the central objectives of the various strands of Mnangagwa's dialogue strategy, three factors stand out.
The first is that the Political Actors Dialogue, the Presidential Advisory Council and the Matabeleland Collective were developed to control the pace and narrative around the process of partnership with those players considered "reliable". Major opposition and civic forces that continued to question the legitimacy of the Mnangagwa boycotted these processes.
Secondly, the formal establishment of the long awaited Tripartite National Forum may serve the purpose of locking the MDC's major political ally, the Zimbabwe Council of Trade Unions, into a legally constructed economic consensus. The major parameters of this will likely be determined by the macro-economic stabalisation framework of the IMF programme.
When brought together, all these processes place increased pressure on the political opposition to move towards an acceptance of the legitimacy of the Mnangagwa regime, and into a new political consensus dominated by the ruling Zanu-PF's political and military forces, thus earning them the seal of approval by major international forces.
The MDC has responded with a combined strategy of denying Mnangagwa legitimacy, protests as well as calls for continued global and regional pressure. The MDC believes that the continued decline of the economy will eventually end the dominance of the Mnangagwa regime.
As part of its 2018 election campaign, the MDC made it clear it would accept no other result than a victory for itself and Chamisa. That message has persisted and is a central part of the de-legitimation discourse of the opposition and many civic organisations. The MDC has regularly threatened protests since 2018.
What next
The MDCs strategies have not resulted in any significant progress. The hope that the economic crisis and attempts at mass protests to force Zanu-PF into a dialogue are, for the moment, likely to be met with growing repression. Moreover, the deepening economic crisis is likely to further thwart attempts to mobilise on a mass basis.
The EU, for its part, is still keen on finding a more substantive basis for increased re-engagement with Mnangagwa and will keep the door open. Regarding the US, given the toxic politics of the Trump administration at a global level, and the ongoing strictures of the US on the Zimbabwe government, there has been a closing of ranks around a fellow liberation movement in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region.
Mnangagwa's recent appointment as Chair of the SADC Troika on Politics, Peace and Security in Tanzania will only further cement this solidarity.
There is clearly a strong need for a national dialogue between the major political players in Zimbabwean politics. But there is little sign that this will proceed. Moreover, the current position of regional players means that there is unlikely to be any sustained regional pressure for such talks in the near future.

Zimbabwe's passport-issuing service has ground to a halt, officials said Monday, leaving many citizens trapped in the country as its economic crisis worsens.
Applicants for new or renewed passports face an indefinite wait as the government does not have the foreign currency to pay for special imported paper, ink and other raw materials. Officials at the Registrar General Office said that even if citizens want to pay for an urgent application for a passport, they face a minimum wait of 18 months before they can even submit their papers.
"Last month, the urgent applicants were being told to come back at the end of 2020," said one official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
She added that non-urgent applicants were told that no date was available for when they can apply. Millions of Zimbabweans have fled abroad in the last 20 years seeking work as hyperinflation wiped out savings and the formal employment sector collapsed.
Many others are now seeking to leave as conditions worsen under President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who had promised an economic revival after he succeeding long-ruling Robert Mugabe in 2017.
Official inflation is at nearly 100 percent — the highest since hyperinflation forced the government to abandon the Zimbabwe dollar in 2009 — while supplies of essentials such as bread, medicine and petrol regularly run short.
Power cuts often last 19 hours a day.
Isheanesu Mpofu, a 23-year-old unemployed university graduate, applied for a passport last November but is still waiting.
"I went back early June to check on it, and was told to check again in August," Mpofu said, adding he wanted to visit his family abroad.
"Besides, it is my right to have a passport so I can travel whenever I want to," he said.
Mnangagwa addressed the problem last month, saying a dispute with the printers over unpaid bills meant that a state-owned company would take over the job.
"They said they will not print any more passports because of legacy debts," he said, claiming the money had now been paid.
A passport office official said that only ten passports were being printed each day despite a reported backlog of 280,000.
"We have the capacity to clear the backlog in a very short time but all the machinery is lying idle right now," she said.
Registrar General Clement Masango said that he had no comment to add to the president's remarks

Zimbabwe and the European Union began political talks aimed at turning the page on hostile relations during Robert Mugabe's rule, a step that could enable a resumption of direct financial aid for the ailing economy.
During Mugabe's four-decade rule until 2017, he would routinely blame European "colonialists" for Zimbabwe's problems and snarled at EU and US sanctions for rights and vote abuses.
The EU has only kept sanctions on Mugabe, his wife and the state arms manufacturer, but is yet to resume direct funding to the new government of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, preferring to channel money through local charities and UN agencies.
With the economy afflicted by dollar shortages, fuel queues, power-cuts, and soaring prices, Mnangagwa has said restoring ties with the West and multilateral lenders like International Monetary Fund is one of his major priorities.
At the start of the open-ended talks between diplomats and officials in Harare, EU Zimbabwe delegation head Timo Olkkonen said they would discuss issues including economic development, trade, investment, rights, rule of law and good governance.
The government has already signed up to an IMF monitoring programme where it has committed to political and economic reforms in a bid to set a track record of fiscal discipline that could earn it debt forgiveness and future financing.
At a separate event in a Harare hotel, Mnangagwa signed a new bill creating a tripartite negotiating forum intended to bring labour, business and government together to shape policy.
The 76-year-old leader is under pressure to deliver on pre-election promises and wants to avert a repeat of violent protests over a steep fuel price hike in January.
Later on Wednesday, the government is expected to start wage negotiations with public sector unions, who say a pay rise of up to 29% they received in April had already been eroded by inflation, now at a 10-year high of 75.86 %.
Mnangagwa has promised to break with his predecessor and says his "open for business" mantra will woo foreign investors. But critics say under his rule the economy shows no signs of improvement while security forces have continued to crush dissent.

As Zimbabwe's economy struggles and the country faces scarce fuel supplies, some businesses are refusing to accept the ever-weakening local currency, insisting on doing business in U.S. dollars.
One reason is that the local currency, known as bond notes, are not accepted outside the southern African country, making them useless for any companies that need to import goods.
This spare vehicle parts seller, Tongai Madamombe, says he wants President Emmerson Mnangagwa's government to switch to the U.S. dollar as pricing in bond-notes has become difficult.
"For those that do not import, charging in bond-notes is not as difficult, as it is for us who import," Madamombe said. "If you do not calculate well, you will fail to restock. We are really in difficult times. So we are now pricing in U.S. dollars, those who do not have it we use parallel market rates, as we will go there to get foreign currency to import our stock."
Zimbabwe abandoned its dollar more than a decade ago, when hyperinflation made it worthless. Now the bond notes, introduced two years ago, are also depreciating in value.
The South African rand and British pounds are acceptable in many places, but very hard to find.
Even some Zimbabwe government departments and companies such as the National Railways have started asking for payment in U.S. dollars, partly to protect themselves against the depreciating bond notes.
Fuel is another scarce product in Zimbabwe, and the government continues to control its price. Some companies have resorted to selling it in U.S. dollars only.
Eddington Mazambani, the head of the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority, says it is only allowing fuel companies that have directly imported fuel on their own to trade in U.S. dollars, as the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe pays foreign currency for most fuel imports in the country.
"We require documentation, if you have procured through Reserve Bank [and] you then fail to produce documentation to us, we will then take the necessary measures. You would be breaking the law, so we will take measures according to the laws in the petroleum sector," Mazambani said.
The government says gas stations trading in U.S. dollars when they are supposed to take local currency are being stripped of their licenses. But so far that policy has not made fuel more available or stopped the practice.

text: sheryl 1,671 Report post Posted December 19, 2012 A friend sent this to me. I'm not sure how I feel about the message of the poem making a parallel to the 12 days of Christmas, but maybe it has some value. The poem itself is touching. I'm so sorry for those kids and families. As I shared with my 13 yo dd, those victims (kids and adults) were someone's daughter, son, sister, brother, Mom, cousin and on and on. These families will now experience an empty seat at the dinner table and 1 less person on Christmas. Does anyone else think like this? Twas' 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38 when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's gate. their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air. they could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there. they were filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say. they remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day. "where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse. "this is heaven." declared a small boy. "we're spending Christmas at God's house." when what to their wondering eyes did appear, but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near. He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same. then He opened His arms and He called them by name. and in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring those children all flew into the arms of their King and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace, one small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face. and as if He could read all the questions she had He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad." then He looked down on earth, the world far below He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand, "Let My power and presence re-enter this land!" "may this country be delivered from the hands of fools" "I'm taking back my nation. I'm taking back my schools!" then He and the children stood up without a sound. "come now my children, let me show you around." excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran. all displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can. and I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight, "in the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT."

This next 2 or 3 weeks will be messy and dusty while we embark on a home makeover project... We have decided to replace/renovate our dated kitchen, boring washrooms, and a dull fireplace!
Galaxy Granite will be supplying and fabricating a premium Brazilian granite for the countertops and vanities. I guess that leaves me to do the dirty work of modifying the cabinetries, replumbing fixtures and drains, electrical, restaining, and repainting!
All existing wall tiles will be ripped and replaced with fresh look tiles. The existing kitchen island will be cut short to just one flat surface to accommodate a waterfall granite. The existing over-the-range microwave will be gone and will be replaced with a dedicated 600cfm hood. We're just tired of the smell that usually lingers around the house whenever someone cooks! The kitchen island will be modified to tuck away a microwave and an oven-toaster each on slide outs that can be pulled out whenever necessary. There will be no more appliances on sight on countertops, instead, they will all be wired and tucked away on pull outs -- going with the minimalist look this time around! The existing kitchen sink will now be under-mounted while a kitchen faucet with ToucH2O technology will be customized to fit.
All washroom vanities will now be replaced with vessel-type sinks. All lavatory faucets will be replaced to suit the vessels while plumbing and drains will now have to be redone to fit as well. Unfortunately our previous home builder was so cheap to install shutoff valves on all water lines -- that also, will have to be done this time!
The tiles on the fireplace will also have to be ripped out and replaced with stone. It also needs to be reframed to support a granite base!
It will be well all the effort when done!

Strengthen the security cordon
The ring of fire around India is making it difficult to identify our real enemy. Instead of searching for answers to the various problems that South Asia is facing, the country must return to protecting itself, writes Pratik Kanjilal.india Updated: Mar 06, 2009 21:17 IST
The 'Armani of armour' is arriving in Delhi next week. In less stressful times, the visit of Colombian bulletproof couturier Miguel Caballero would have merited a Page 3 photo op. Today, the designer who has stylishly bulletproofed heads of state and movie stars makes the front page. He's the man of the moment. India is an emerging market for his wares and he's coming to claim first-mover advantage.
Security officials whose work brings them into contact with irregular forces have a bleak world view. Even two decades ago, if you chatted up Border Security Force (BSF) jawans or the lonely Intelligence Bureau and R&AW men stationed near the frontier, you came away with the surreal impression of India surrounded by a ring of fire, stinging itself to death like the scorpion in the fable. A doomed island of genteel idiocy in a region preparing for Armageddon.
Back home in the city, that image was easily dismissed as an exaggeration. But today, it bears the ring of truth. To our east, Bangladesh is dealing with the worst armed rising in recent history, and they have grounds for suspecting foreign instigation. To the south, what's happening in Sri Lanka is technically civil war. To the west, Pakistan is ceding territory to the Taliban and now, it has seen the first organised attack on sportspersons since the Black September operation at the Munich Olympics in 1972. And in the north, we are on shaky ground with Maoist Nepal. The ring of fire is complete.
Within it, we are still recovering from a year of terror which culminated in the Mumbai attacks. Before we could come to terms with its enormity, the national discourse swiftly descended into the ridiculous, as the Hindu Taliban struck in Mangalore and Valentine vigilantism, pub bharo activism and pink chaddi agitprop dominated the headlines. Perhaps now that we have been accused of sniping at the Sri Lankan cricketers on third-party soil, the Taliban are within striking distance of our borders and, equally shocking, the IPL tour is in danger of being cancelled, we can turn our attention to security again. How we do that will define our future. Over the last year, we have been exposed to dubious notions of Muslim terror, Hindu terror, Christian plots, good Taliban, bad Taliban and conspiracy theories that would have left the Templars gasping. Such confusion, combined with a lack of faith in government, usually leads to a fortress mentality. The US went through a similar trajectory after 9/11 and ruined its international image by choosing the path of hot pursuit in Asia.
We are in an even more difficult situation. The picture is so muddied in our region that we no longer know who the enemy is. Is there a plot against us, as any BSF jawan or IB man posted on the border will assure you? Is there an organisation behind it? Is it the ISI, or is that just an easy catch-all acronym for a very complicated reality which stretches across borders? Will we ever get intelligent answers to these questions? Or, given the doublespeak and state-sponsored chicanery we see in this region, is it more prudent to stop thinking about it all and just order some bulletproof kurtas from Senor Caballero?

Narcissus x intermedius 'Texas Star' has become a favorite around the Southern Bulb Co. The name says it all, as this uncommonly 'Texas tough' hybrid between a jonquil and a tazetta performs well on clays, sands, ditches and even dry ground. Although different from that of the jonquil, the sweet fragrance of the flowers still causes many a gardener to lean in for a closer smell.
Several characteristics distinguish it from the jonquil, to include the slightly more curved foliage and blooms of vibrant yellow cups with yellow petals. An interesting habit of the foliage is to commonly see it curve from two opposite sides of the plant, to reach over the flower and touch, as if a ballerina with her hands over head during a dance. But let not talk of ballerinas fool you, this rare selection has proven worthy in gardens all over Texas, as are many other jonquil hybrids.
The 'Texas Star' is the Narcissus that thrives in Texas in mid-March! This strong-performing fragrant Narcissus is a staple of any naturalized daffodil and bulb gardens in Texas and the South! Quick to multiply, these yellow blooms pack a lot of color into small spaces.

+ Objectives
With such a varied target audience, from Rich Kids of Instagram to classic car enthusiasts, and several separate services to showcase, OnTime Automotive didn't need one website designing – it needed three. Our initial objectives included:
- Design and build 3 separate websites that would seamlessly integrate as one
- Drive brand awareness for both OnTime and its services
- Optimise the websites for SEO
+ The Challenge
As a well-established operation with a loyal customer base, we needed to create a set of websites that would welcome old clients as well as new. Each site needed to be sleek and also fully responsive, optimised for use on tablet and mobile. This would ensure a seamless user experience, for every customer that was busy jetting from London to Miami, and looking for a way to ship their Range Rover along for the ride.
+ Our Strategy
The development team set about the design and build of a content-managed, fully responsive website that reflected the values at Ontime Automotive. We wanted to convey the brand's reliable service, attention-to-detail and quality of service that they show, for every car that comes into their care. The group's branding was rolled out across each site, making them instantly recognisable as a representation of the OnTime, whilst still targeting different segments of the market place.
Each of the websites was also optimised for SEO, in terms of content and technical. After extensive market research, we crafted a keyword strategy that would see pages of the site tactically target different phrases. This would better OnTime's chances of appearing high on search engine rankings and driving more web traffic to each site.

Look to be diamond racing wheels, dont see to many of them in aus
Looking good, engine wise can be virtually anything really....
Before you starting thinking of engines I would suggest you do suspension and brakes first, no good upgrading the engine but having a car that handles like crap
change up ur front.. slanty looses out to flat frony in my opnion.. get a donor ae71and straight swap then ur ready for anything...
Everyone has flat front or quads, stay slanty!
those wheels:/ otherwise
I would definitely go ae86 gear. There is plenty of discussion on here regarding s13 front end, both good and bad. But after all the ae86 is just meant to be and plus with the extra track of the s13 setup I dont think you would have much chance of keeping them wheels on the front.

PhD student across the Applied Mathematics, Design Engineering and Tropical Forest Ecology departments.
I aim to develop an end-to-end system for real-time continuous bioacoustic monitoring of ecosystems. This has included developing and deploying robust acoustic monitoring units to the field, and interpreting the time series data to quantify the biodiversity of a region.
A network of these sensors is deployed in the Stability of Altered Forest Ecosystems (SAFE) Project, located in the tropical rainforests of Borneo, to help understand the effect of changing land use upon local wildlife. You can listen to audio from our acoustic monitoring network at the SAFE Acoustics website.
I am also involved with work developing tools and approaches for cross-disciplinary highly comparative time-series analysis (hctsa), including the analyses behind the CompEngine website.

Regionale 19: Sound Embodied
House of Electronic Arts Basel
– 3 February 2019
The art exhibition Regionale, held annually in the tri-border region, is in its 19th year. The House of Electronic Arts in Basle showcases works under the title "Sound Embodied".
The Regionale is a major event. Ten cities in the tri-border region between north-western Switzerland, southern Baden and Alsace showcase the works of 180 artists from the region at 18 locations. The exhibition series thus offers young artists the opportunity of presenting their current projects to a broad public.
As one of the locations, this year, the House of Electronic Arts is focussing its programme on sound. Curator Boris Magrini brings together the works of 17 artists who deal with the interaction of sound and physical space in multimedia installations. Some works explore how sound itself can become a visual design element, while others make audible the sounds hidden in physical objects. They all expand the spectrum of the perceptual possibilities of sound. The exhibition is open until 3 February 2019.

Kapalua golf courses are some of the best on the island. Each year there are a series of major annual tournaments that are held here. These big budget events require that the course must be impeccably maintained. The bar is set very high, but the greenskeepers and course maintenance team are able to consistently meet (and exceed) the expectations of the visiting pros.
The weather in Kapalua can be hit or miss. Being that the course is situated on the Northwest point of the island there is a bit more rain here than you would find farther south in Kaanapali which can be a turn off to some. However, the rains normally cool down the temperature and do not last long so the weather actually is viewed as a positive by some players.
If you left your clubs at home do not let that keep you from getting out on the Kapalua Golf Courses to play a round. There is a very nice selection of rental clubs available at the clubhouse, and there is also a very nice practice area that you can get warmed up at and get used to how the clubs hit.
One thing that you need to remember about the Kapalua Golf Course is that it is one of the islands most popular locations to play so you will need to make reservations in advance. Do not wait until the last minute, there is a high likelihood you will be disappointed.

This Sunday, May 19, 2018, Lyndon Harris will be sharing "The Inherent Worth and Dignity of Every Human Being."
Belief in the dignity and worth of every human being is the first founding principle of Unitarian Universalism. But what does that mean? And how do we do it? This teaching will be a reflection upon the sources for this first principle, and a consideration of its implications for community. Drawing upon experiences of the disenfranchised to assert their rights for self-determination and identity, we will consider ways be supportive as we grow into that "Beloved Community" of Dr. King's dream.
UUFCF services are held at 10:30 a.m. on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month at Sunnydale, 334 S. Trade St., Tryon. Please do not park in spaces by the Dollar General or your vehicle may be towed.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Robin Edgar
President of the UUFCF board

Let me start by saying I am not a master of origami. Projects requiring precise instructions in order to produce results usually result in me throwing my hands in the air. This little origami bookmark has just a few easy steps and offers lots of possibilities.
The beginnings of the origami bookmark…
Let me start by saying this bookmark origami isn't my original idea. I did not invent origami or bookmarks. (Surprising, right?) These little corner origami bookmarks are everywhere. I made a version of these when I was teaching in the regular classroom 15 years ago.
I am a super visual person and I really struggled to find instructions for this that clicked with my brain and were printable. Hence my pictorial, step by step, printable instructions were born.
While the basis this for these origami bookmarks isn't original there are unlimited possibilities for original thing to do with your corner bookmark once you get the process down. It's quick and simple and super fun!
Bookmark origami supplies….
Origami paper is awesome. It is thin for easy folding, comes in awesome colors, and is relatively inexpensive. Plus, it's already cut into squares so there's no room for error there. Check out this economy box of origami paper here.
That being said any lightweight paper will do. I used colored copy paper such as this Astrobright 24 pound paper in assorted colors. Printed scrapbook paper can also be a fun way to add pattern to your finished origami bookmark.
Materials for embellishing can be anything and everything. We used scraps of paper, Sharpie markers, and these awesome eyeball stickers.
The materials list is super small. All you really have to have is paper. That's it! You could literally make these out of newsprint and they would still be adorable. Use your imagination and use what you have!
Getting started….
You need square paper for this origami bookmark to work. Depending on the finished size you desire somewhere between four and six inches is a good starting point. The origami bookmarks below were created using a 5 inch square.
Fold square paper in half diagonally.
Fold each point of the triangle up to meet the tip. It will now look like a square.
Unfold the tips and return paper to a triangle shape.
Fold only one layer of the tip of the triangle down to meet the bottom.
Tuck the long points of the triangle up and under the folded tip.
Do this to both sides to create a pocket in which the corner of a book page will fit.
Check out the visual instructions below for a hands on look at the folding process!
Want to grab a black and white PDF of visual instructions for the origami bookmark….
Become a Kitchen Table Classroom subscriber using the subscribe form below. When you confirm your subscription you'll get a subscriber only password to my Resource Library. You'll find these printable origami bookmark instructions (along with dozens of other free printables) there in PDF form for easy printing.
Why monsters…
Make a monster, an animal, an abstract design, or a cartoon character. The basic steps are the same. Once you get that cool little pocket shape that fits onto the corner of a book page you're in business and ready to create!
Making these little babies into "monsters" allows for lots of shapes and features to be added on. After all monsters can look any way you can imagine. Horns, eyelashes, teeth, scales- whatever your kiddo wants to make!
Feel free to break the rules and collage on them, Zentangle on them, whatever floats your boat. you're an artist. You're kinda' supposed to break the rules! And if you're gang is really getting into the origami thing check out this post on folded paper snowflakes. Learning just a few simple folds unlocks so many possibilities with these deceptively simple snowflakes.
If you like this origami bookmark ideas please share on your favorite social media channel!
Every single share helps me grow the Kitchen Table Classroom a little bit and bring you more fun projects (like this bookmark origami) and free printables resources!

Tribune's San Diego The CW Affiliate to Switch to Fox
Broadcasting veteran Ray Schonbak will head up KSWB San Diego when The CW outlet switches to a Fox affiliate Aug. 1.
KSWB is owned by Tribune Broadcasting. Schonbak was most recently president of Emmis Communications' TV unit, overseeing 16 stations across the country. Previously, he was instrumental in building the Fox-owned station group.
Schonbak seems to have learned the local dialect quickly. "This is like being handed the keys to a cool new car and told to go break the speed limit," he said. "The No. 1 television network, the chance to build a news department from the ground up and on top of all that, I get to live in a city that's totally awesome -- 80 degrees, sunny all the time and right by the ocean."
As KSWB grabs the Fox affiliation this summer, it looks as though that leaves current Fox affiliate XETV, owned by Grupo Televisa, without an affiliation. XETV vice president and general manager Richard Doutré Jones said he still hasn't been officially notified by Fox, and he believes his affiliation contract exists through July 2010. (Fox countered that it expires in July 2008.)
Doutré Jones said XETV -- which has its transmitter across the border in Mexico but broadcasts in English -- has been an upstanding Fox affiliate over the course of their 21-and-one-half-year relationship.
Tribune Broadcasting president Ed Wilson called the affiliation switch "a huge development" for Tribune. "This makes it clear that the new Tribune is aggressive and willing to move quickly to upgrade our position in a market, especially when we can improve our financial results almost immediately," he said. "We're not sitting around waiting."
XETV pulled in $35 million in 2006, according to BIA Financial Network, good for fourth in the San Diego market. KSWB grabbed $25.7 million.
Doutré Jones said the station may continue as an independent when KSWB grabs the Fox affiliation. "We have very strong news and local product," he added. "We're prepared to be an independent station."
He did not rule out taking over The CW affiliation, although those conversations have not yet occurred. "We tried to be the best Fox affiliate we could be," he said. "Now we'll be the best independent or CW we can be."

Atwood lands Oz drilling work with Woodside
Offshore drilling contractor Atwood Oceanics has been awarded a one-well drilling services contract with the energy company Woodside, offshore Australia.
Atwood reported on Monday that one of its subsidiaries agreed the contract with the Australian energy company for the 2011-built, ultra-deepwater, semi-submersible drilling rig, Atwood Osprey.
The contract will start between May 24, 2017 and July 7, 2017, and has an estimated duration of approximately one hundred and thirty days. The rig's operating day rate will be $185,000 per day.
Previously, in March this year, Woodside transferred the remaining days of a contract it had with the Atwood Eagle rig to Atwood Osprey. The contract was set to start after Atwood Osprey's completion of a drilling program with Chevron. This deal with Woodside provided the rig with work until January 2017 with the dayrate of $450,000, which was subject to change due to cost escalation and currency exchange provisions in the contract.

In Louisiana the bicycle is legally defined as a vehicle. Bicyclists have the same rights to the roadways, and must obey the same traffic laws as the operators of other vehicles. These laws include stopping for stop signs and red lights, riding with the flow of traffic, using lights at night, and yielding the right-of-way when entering a roadway.
Any ticket or moving violation issued to you as a cyclist can affect your driving record.
Whether the ticket is as minor as a first offense or a felony charge for speeding 20 mph over the speed limit, traffic tickets on bikes can increase your insurance premiums anywhere from 25%-400%!!! While you may not currently be paying insurance on your bike, this is something to keep in mind for those of us who split time between biking and driving or intend to begin driving in the future because it will affect your ability to acquire insurance. Given that New Orleans already has some of the highest auto insurance rates in the country, this is not something to take likely.
When a cyclist receives a traffic citation or ticket, the ticket will state which Louisiana law or statute was allegedly violated. Cyclists should either research the nature of the violation themselves or, better yet, refer to an attorney for information to determine what sort of fines and penalties they may be facing.
Depending on the severity of the offense, the infraction will be considered either a civil or criminal matter. In either situation, the accused cyclist will have the right to request a hearing. Failing to contest a traffic citation by merely paying a fine is equivalent to pleading guilty to the offense cited. For this reason, many individuals suffer the consequences of increased insurance premiums by paying their fines without a hearing. As a cyclist, you should elect to request a hearing.
Your attorney can request the hearing on your behalf.
Bicycle Regulations
- Cyclists must obey all traffic controls and signals.
- Cyclists must use a fixed, regular seat for riding.
- No bicycle may be used to carry more persons at one time than the number for which it is designed or equipped.
- At least one hand must be kept on the handlebars while riding.
- Parents and guardians are prohibited from allowing any children to violate any provisions of this section.
- Every bicycle must be equipped with a brake or brakes which allow the rider to stop within 25 feet from a speed of 10 miles per hour on dry, level, clean pavement.
Bicycle Safety Suggestions
Use a blinking taillight and headlight for nighttime riding; Always wear a helmet! Keep an eye on parked cars – The most common accident is when a parked car opens a door into a passing cyclist. Always carry a tire patch kit, spare tube, tire lever and any necessary repair equipment, especially on long, solo rides. Never ride on the opposite side of the road; ride defensively and obey laws as if your bike were a vehicle. It is illegal to ride a bike on the sidewalk!
