Silk aquarium plants are a wonderful solution to having full and vibrant plants all the time with minimum responsibility and maintenance. Not only do these silk aquarium plants provide realistic beauty but they convey realistic movement unlike plastic plants. Real plants differ from silk plants because they do not alter the chemistry of the water. They do not produce waste or debris that will pollute or cloud the water and they do not need to be trimmed or tended to. Overall silk plants provide a realistic alternative to aquarium gardening without the added work.
Unlike the original fake aquarium plants, the silk plants sold in aquatic retail stores today are very much like the real thing. These fake silk plants are so realistic that it is not noticeably unreal unless viewed within a close proximity. For the sake of realism, silk aquatic plants have been fashioned after the real thing right down to the last detail of color, size, shape and proportion. Most of the natural aquatic plants are replicated for use in the aquarium hobby. You can find many of the plant species from a variety of grass, fern and moss to broad, small and long leaved foliage. There are over 56 different varieties of silk plants available at aquatic retail locations and websites.
When it comes to fake aquarium plants there are two choices: silk and plastic. These are both great solutions to a planted aquarium with as little maintenance as possible. They both offer realistic decoration while offering practical shelter and refuge for fish. The difference between silk and plastic plants is that the silk plants provide natural movement much like real plants do Plastic plants do not provide the same natural movement but they are much more durable and sturdy. If you have disruptive fish such as cichlids you would want the more hearty plastic plants. If your fish are not so rambunctious the decision is yours to make depending upon what you prefer. A single aquarium can contain both textures of silk and plastic plants if that is your preference.
Silk aquarium plants come in a wide range of sizes from 4-20 inches. The plants start from as little as $1.00 and can cost as much as $11.00 for the larger plants. Silk plants are designed to be used in freshwater or marine aquariums with realistic plant species for each type of waterscape. These plants can be used to hide air stones and other submerged aquarium equipment. They are usually anchored by a heavy stone base or a hollow, weightless cup filled with gravel or substrate.
When decorating your aquarium, use plants of different heights in order to create depth and dimension. Start with the tallest plants toward the back corners and work the gradually shorter plants toward the front and center. This will help give your aquarium an aesthetically pleasing look.
When looking to decorate your aquarium, search for the plants that are specifically manufactured for your water type. Sea Garden is one of the more popular brands to manufacture silk aquarium plants. The Sea Garden Saltwater Series is specially designed for saltwater aquariums. These plants are modeled after real plants you might find in the ocean such as seaweed and kelp. Sea Garden Freshwater Series Aquarium Décor is specially designed plants that look like real live freshwater plant species such as the tiger lotus and the Amazon sword plant. Another popular brand of silk plants is Tetra. Tetra Silk Water Wonders manufactures a great selection of silk plants to add to any under waterscape. This brand provides a wide selection of plants in many different shapes and sizes.
Fake plants are also great in kids' aquariums. Aquariums are a great way to teach children responsibility. Cleaning the aquarium, feeding the fish, and watching them grow are wonderful and exciting ways to get your children to learn a little bit of responsibility. Real aquatic plants could be difficult for a child to tend to when first learning how to take care of their new fish tank. Silk plants provide the perfect solution to beginner planted aquariums.
There is little maintenance required in the care of your silk plants. Once in awhile, as you are cleaning your aquarium you may need to remove your silk plants to give them a quick scrub down. Never use soap or cleaner that is not safe for the inside of your aquarium. The main concern is to not disrupt the biological bacteria that prevent ammonia and nitrite buildup. This very valuable and fragile defense could not withstand the addition of damaging chemicals to the aquarium.
The great advantage to using silk plants is that there are so many species available for purchase. When using real plants you may not be able to attain the species you want at the time of the year you want it. Also, some plants are not allowed in certain areas of the world because of species control reasons. Silk plants allow you to obtain that certain look you want without having limitations such as these.
I love silk plants in my tanks. They don't need trimming or fertilizing at all. However, they do need to be removed periodically to be washed and they do fade over time making them useless after a year of so.


Workshop time is precious time, let's spend it wisely. I sometimes wonder why there are still workshops and seminars in the format 'input + Q&A + discussion'?
Do we lack imagination to do things differently?
Or is it a question of confidence and courage to depart from the beaten track?
Are we afraid of the void, that there wouldn't be enough substance; and therefore think an input is the best way to launch a conversation?
In my experience, it is worth to flip our thinking to have more engaging and meaningful conversations.
The seating order tells a story: What will happen and who listens to whom. How we arrange the room defines whether we will be focusing on one or focusing on many. So, how do we want to sit and be seated? One person standing in front and the rest sitting in the back? If we push the tables aside and arrange chairs in a circle, if we forget the U-shape kind of room arrangements we create the conditions for conversation. The room set-up is a choice (at least when chairs and tables are not fixed).
If we want workshops that are engaging and learning-oriented, we must move the participants, their experiences, their expertise and their questions and challenges right into the centre of the workshop and into the spotlight.
Sometimes, I wonder if it is necessary to bring in an external speaker or presenter? Have we checked the potential and talents among the people attending? Who is the most experienced person in the room is an interesting and important question we should always ask ourselves.
One more thought: on the workshop agenda, we often see that a person higher up in the organisational hierarchy will give a presentation. Does she want to do this, or do we assume so? Wouldn't she be willing and maybe even pleased to be in dialogue rather than in monologue?
The participants' experiences and questions should be centre stage in a workshop. We start with getting to know each other and having a first conversation.
It is through small group conversations that we manage our knowledge. It takes a diverse group of people with different perspectives to come together in conversation to make sense of the world.
So, lets design for conversation, inquiry and joint reflection. A conversation can be launched by many things. A simple question brings us in conversation. Through conversation inputs are made by many.
What conversational methods are you applying? How does your flipped workshop design look like?


Goodbye Windows Vista, yes, Microsoft has announced that it is ending support for Vista more than ten years after it first debuted. What this means is that Vista customers will no longer receive new security updates, no-security hotfixes, free or paid assisted options, or online technical content updates from Microsoft.
Windows Vista users will now have to migrate to more recent versions of Windows to stay secure.
''Microsoft has provided support for Windows Vista for the past 10 years, but the time has come for us, along with our hardware and software partners, to invest our resources towards more recent technologies so that we can continue to deliver great new experiences.'' Microsoft said as it ended an era for an operating system that came in late to the market and received so much criticisms.
Ending Windows Vista support does not however mean your computer will not work, but will become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses.
Microsoft says it has also stopped providing Microsoft Security Essentials for download on Windows Vista.
Codenamed Longhorn, Microsoft launched Vista to revolutionize Windows with a new file system and user interface. We can all agree that Windows Vista indeed came with some cool features and is considered one of Microsoft's most ambitious desktop operating system despite the widespread criticism it received. Vista followed the successful release of Windows XP but several bad decisions, executions and an evolving industry caught Microsoft off guard.
Well, Microsoft has now decided to completely end Windows Vista support. If you used it before, what were your experiences? Share with us in the comments section below.


Over the last 100 years, motion pictures have been almost exclusively produced in a horizontal aspect ratio for theaters, projectors, televisions and computer screens (e.g. 4:3 and 16:9). Suddenly, smartphones, tablets, rotating monitors and lightweight projectors make it possible for users to watch videos in a vertical format that was never possible on conventional screens in the past (i.e. 3:4 or 9:16 ratio, or "vertical videos"). Vertical videos require filmmakers to improvise with equipment not designed to produce videos in this way.
To explore the aesthetics of the vertical video format, I filmed, edited and produced a vertical video documentary about India called Curry Power. The 10-minute documentary is a musical collage that features tigers, camel polo, holy men, dancers and live music by renowned musicians Pete Lockett and Wasifuddin Dagar. During the Curry Power production process, I did not have access to a tripod for vertical videos or customized video-editing software for post-production. Here are 10 useful insights and tips for filmmakers who want to produce vertical videos.
Professional photographers have always used the vertical aspect ratio to capture extraordinary images, which explains why some compositions are better suited for a vertical aspect ratio than a horizontal aspect ratio. Musicians on a stage, runway models, train tracks disappearing into the distance, close-up portraits, skyscrapers and trees beg for a vertical video to capture their inherent beauty: the essence of their form, flow and function is vertical.
Visual artists have often experimented with vertical videos in art installations and have enjoyed varying success; vertical projections are nothing new, yet they are remarkably unconventional.
Our eyes are not oriented vertically like a flounder or Cyclops, so it feels unnatural for us to watch moving images that are framed vertically on a screen. Tablets and smartphones are small enough, however, so we can comfortably watch vertical videos without getting migraines. A large, life-size projection of a vertical video stimulates our senses differently than a horizontal video because our orientation to the ground is vertical and humans "come to life" on the vertical screen.
Video cameras are not designed to film vertically, unless they are turned sideways or incorporated in a handheld device like a smartphone (which then classifies the device as a phone, not a camera). SLR cameras with high-definition video functionality are great for producing vertical videos; turn the camera sideways and start filming. These cameras enable the user to control the depth of field, F-stop, ISO and shutter speed to maximize the professional quality of a vertical video.
The vertical video format requires a video-maker to position himself or herself at unconventional or oblique angles from a scene to include more visual information in the foreground and background of the image. Snapping a vertical image before filming a vertical video helps to "storyboard," or plan out a sequence in a visual story, especially at an unscripted or improvised moment.
Tripods always mount to the bottom of horizontally-oriented cameras, which makes it difficult to use a tripod to produce vertical videos, unless the ball-head of the tripod can tilt 90 degrees. The best solution for keeping a vertical video steady is by using an extra battery pack with a grip for an SLR camera. The battery pack adds enough weight to stabilize an image. It also helps to use a lens with an image stabilizer and tuck elbows in close to the body.
Filming sideways with an SLR camera to produce a vertical video means that the video footage will appear sideways when it is imported and displayed on a computer screen. Sometimes video editing programs do not offer a vertical preview option. When a vertical preview option is available, editing a vertical video on a horizontal screen limits the viewing surface area. The best solution for editing a vertical video is by using an external computer monitor to preview the sideways footage; position the monitor vertically by mounting it on a 1-foot electric guitar stand.
Commercial video production is horizontal because the majority of all content distributors broadcast to conventional, horizontal screens (e.g. network television, cable, YouTube, etc.). With millions of smartphones and tablets in the hands of consumers, the audience for vertical videos is a huge, untapped market.
Even though we read books, posters, signs and advertisements in a vertical format, the majority of producers abide by horizontal conventions when they make their videos. Imagine when every vertical billboard, advertisement or digital page will display vertical videos: endless opportunity.
Communication applications such as Apple's "Facetime" use a vertical video format to give users a personal feeling when they chat in real time. At some point in the future, all digital communication devices will have the capacity to broadcast video content in real time, so a "Facetime" experience will eventually merge with real time vertical video storytelling techniques.
Vertical videos offer new opportunities for filmmakers willing to improvise within the confines of convention. By sharing stories vertically and broadcasting content specifically for devices like the iPad, it will be possible for us to push the boundaries of new media and explore innovative ways of relating to each other when we document the stories of our everyday lives.

CNOH An unstable isomer of cyanic acid, whose salts are known for their explosive characteristics.
, an isomer of cyanic acid (HO—C≡N) and isocyanic acid (HN=C=O). It may be regarded formally as the oxime of carbon monoxide; therefore, it is also called carbyloxime. Fulminic acid is formed when its salts (fulminates) are treated with acids. It exists only in solution; its smell resembles that of prussic acid, and it is just as toxic. Its most important salt is mercury fulminate, a detonating powder. Other salts of fulminic acid are also extremely explosive.

Tesla says they made around 253,000 cars in 2018 and delivered about 245,000 of those.
The winding down of a US tax subsidy this year will make all Tesla cars more expensive and could hurt sales. That's compared with a $311.5 million net gain in the previous quarter and a $675 million loss during the same period a year ago.
The Y is apparently completed, designed out, and shares 75 percent of its build and design with the Model 3, so it should be easier to ramp up, Musk said.
Tesla has managed to stay profitable in Q4 2018 and thus reported its second consecutive quarterly profit.
Tesla shares (TSLA) fell 0.5 percent at 11:20 a.m.in NY, after paring earlier losses of as much as 4.8 percent and briefly turning positive. Deliveries in 2018 amounted to 63,359 vehicles in North America, according to the company.
In a world where ideas hold more value than implementation, Musk's announcement to make Tesla's patents public is a welcome move and should inspire other entrepreneurs as well.
The company estimates that the cost and complexity of the Model Y production line will be substantially lower than the Model 3 line. In 2018, according to Tesla's Shareholder Letter, "Model 3 then went on to become the best-selling passenger vehicle in the USA in terms of revenue in both Q3 and Q4". They plan to bring the Shanghai Gigafactory online by the end of 2019 to address global markets.
"Earlier this month we started construction of Gigafactory Shanghai, and by the end of this year we expect to be producing Model 3s using a complete vehicle production - that's body paint, body assembly, general assembly and module production".
Tesla's CFO position will now be taken over by Zach Kirkhord who has been the finance vice president.
Tesla blamed the hit on earnings on various factors including higher import duties incurred on parts sourced from China. "Lightning fast." Beyond service, Musk indicated that a new version of the company's Autopilot driver-assist function would be ready within a few weeks, pending regulatory approval, though it remained unclear which regulators Tesla sought approval for, as there is no regulatory approval needed to launch driver-assist features.
Musk twitted on Thursday a link to one of his older Tesla blog posts. Tesla shares fell 4.7 percent in after-hours trading to $293.80, as of 7:49 p.m.
Here's what analysts said after the earnings report and call. "Turning a profit, creatively addressing challenges and getting the Model 3 to the masses were huge milestones, but keeping up this momentum is virtually impossible", she said.
Raul Arashukov was arrested as well later in the day on charges of embezzlement. He complied with the order and declined an opportunity to address the house.
The punishment for featuring an uneligible player is forfeiting a match as well as a fine, according to the AFC Disciplinary and Ethics Code.
We now know that Nick sent Priyanka a direct message on Twitter saying that their common friends believed that they should meet. Elaborating it in detail, Priyanka Chopra said that she is developing a feature with Barry Levinson .
United States intelligence agencies have warned against the persistent worldwide threat posed by the terror groups and Al Qaeda.
Ahead of Super Bowl 53, an employee at Pittsburgh TV station KDKA thought it'd be amusing to make a joke about Tom Brady . He is hoping to raise $10,000 and donate the sum to a charity in Brady's name.

MLB suspends 3 as result of Reds-Cards brawl
Two horses killed at Del Mar after colliding
Five players, two managers punished
NEW YORK -- Cincinnati Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto has been suspended for seven games for his actions during a brawl with the St. Louis Cardinals, and both managers were suspended for two games.
Major League Baseball said Thursday that Cueto, Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and Reds manager Dusty Baker were also fined undisclosed amounts.

Four other players were fined but not suspended -- Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter and catcher Yadier Molina and Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips and relief pitcher Russ Springer.
A fight broke out in the first inning of Tuesday's game in Cincinnati. The Cardinals won the game and swept a three-game series to move into first place in the NL Central.
"We regret the incident happened," Reds spokesman Rob Butcher said in a statement. "After a thorough investigation of the incident, MLB has handled the discipline accordingly for both clubs."
Cardinals spokeswoman Melody Yount said general manager John Mozeliak was traveling Thursday and unavailable for comment. She said he would be available to the media on Friday.
A statement from Major League Baseball that said all three suspensions are expected to begin Friday. Cueto could appeal, and the suspension would be delayed until the appeal is resolved. Managers can't appeal suspensions, Yount said.
Both the Reds and Cardinals were off Thursday. The Reds host the Florida Marlins and the Cardinals open a three-game series at home against the Chicago Cubs on Friday.
The fight happened during a critical series made even more tense by comments from Phillips, who said that he hates the Cardinals. He also called them complainers, using demeaning language that riled St. Louis.
Phillips came to the plate in the bottom of the first inning and gave a friendly tap to Molina's shin guard. Molina kicked at the bat, mentioned Phillips' comments and told him not to touch him. The two went face to face, prompting both benches and bullpens to empty.
The scrum escalated into shoving that ended up with several players -- including Cueto and Carpenter -- pinned to the backstop screen. Cueto began kicking those around him -- he later said he was afraid and trying to defend himself. His spikes scraped Carpenter's back and La Russa said backup catcher Jason LaRue suffered a mild concussion and had sore ribs from the incident.
The Cardinals called up Double-A catcher Steven Hill for Wednesday's game because LaRue was unavailable.
The teams play one more series this season -- Sept. 3-5 in St. Louis.

Sea Point is a major suburb of Cape Town, South Africa, and is one of the city's most affluent and populated areas.
Being the only seaside suburb that has been extensively developed with high-rise buildings, it has become a very popular residential area in addition to being home to many restaurants and other commercial establishments. It is also one of Cape Town's most historic suburbs, dating back to the earliest days of European settlement in the Cape of Good Hope. In recent years, Sea Point has undergone considerable urban renewal, making it an even more attractive prospect for developers and homeowners alike.
The history of Sea Point can be traced back to the mid-eighteenth century. The areas first European inhabitants were Francois Le Sueuer and his family. Le Sueuer was a French aristocrat and protestant who was assigned as spiritual advisor to Hendrik Swellengrebel, then the governor of the Cape Colony. The family's original farm covered over two hundred acres in the area that would become Sea Point.
The suburb first got its name around the year 1776, when Sam Wallis, one of Captain Cook's commanders, made an encampment in the area in an attempt to avoid a smallpox outbreak that was ravaging Cape Town at the time. As the city expanded towards the early nineteenth century, the area was incorporated as a suburb of Cape Town, and later merged with neighbouring Green Point to become a municipality of its own. In 1862, a tramline was opened linking the city center with Camps Bay, with Sea Point along the same route. This firmly established the area as a 'commuter suburb', with many of its residents taking the tram to and from their places of work in the city.
Sea Point's reputation for cultural tolerance was largely fostered by one of its earliest parliamentarians, Saul Solomon, who founded a 'round church' in the area that embraced many religions. Since then, Sea Point has continued to become more developed, and has remained a surprisingly diverse community despite being declared a 'whites only' area under the apartheid regime.
Sea Point is located along the stretch of Cape coastline known as the Atlantic Seaboard, a few kilometers west of Cape Town's central business district. Following the coastline from the city center, one passes through the suburbs of Three Anchor Bay and Green Point before reaching Sea Point. Other neighbouring suburbs include Mouille Point and Bantry Bay.
Sea Point's most prominent landmark is the beachfront, including the promenade that is a favourite walking route for locals and visitors alike, and passes by an extensive park, including children's playgrounds and an outdoor gym. The Winchester is one of the oldest hotels in the area, while the Sea Point Pavilion swimming pools are also a major attraction.
Sea Point is home to approximately 13,332 people, at a density of around 8400 per square kilometer.
The majority of the population is White, with English being the most commonly spoken first language in the area.

Mackay Qld, first meningococcal case since 2016
MACKAY Hospital and Health Services has recorded its first case of meningococcal disease since 2016, with a local male diagnosed in recent weeks.
The diagnosis, one of six across Queensland so far this year, was made in the week of January 22.
Public Health Physician Dr Steven Donohue said the patient, who lives in the Mackay Hospital and Health Services area, had made a good recovery after contracting the invasive disease.
"The male is no longer in hospital. Anyone who was in close contact with him was traced and given prophylactic antibiotics where appropriate," Dr Donohue said.
"The risk to casual contacts and the broader community from this case was low.
"At any given time, meningococcal bacteria are carried harmlessly at the back of the throat or in the nose in about 10 per cent of the population.
"While the bacteria can be spread via droplets from the nose or throat during coughing and sneezing, close and prolonged contact with a person who has the bacteria in their nose or throat is usually needed for the bacteria to spread to others."
Mr Donohue said sharing saliva through sharing cups, drinks or cigarettes is not considered to be a way of spreading the disease.
"Meningococcal bacteria cannot live long outside of the body so the infection cannot be picked up from water supplies, swimming pools, bed linen or pillows.
"Symptoms include vomiting, fever, headache, stiff neck, rash and joint pain."

What started as a glimmer of an idea among friends has grown into one of the largest coffee roasters in the Midwest, with ever-expanding distribution channels and relationships that span the globe. Here's a breakdown of how Paramount Coffee Company came to be, the challenges we've faced and the progress we've made over more than 80 years.
In 1935, three ambitious young men working for a Chicago coffee company want to start a company of their own. They move to mid-Michigan and open their business in a rented building close to downtown Lansing. David Radway is one of the founders, whose family (eventually) holds full ownership of Paramount Coffee Company until the year 2000. This is a family affair, as husbands and wives work nightly to package coffees to be sold the next day. The company's first sale is for l0 lbs. of coffee @ $.24 per pound sold to a downtown cafeteria. By the end of the first year, 14,292 lbs. of coffee are sold. The 1940s and WW2 bring challenges: coffee and gas rationing, as well as a shortage of manpower. A "Victory Blend" is created to support war efforts. Major purchases during these years include a coffee tasting table and a cuspidor (spittoon) that are still used today.
These are exciting years for Paramount as a newly built roasting plant is completed and Paramount becomes an official importer. The company increases its product line, adds a fully functional service department and expands its distribution area to include all major Michigan markets, as well as some areas in neighboring states. A special blend of coffee – still sold today – is developed. The recipe is so secret it is kept in the safe. Even though energy crises and high inflation pose difficulties, business is strong and Paramount purchases an additional 33,000 square feet of warehouse.
Paramount implements advances in green coffee storage, packed coffee storage, roasting, warehousing, transportation and more. In its 50th year, the company creates Paramount Gourmet Coffee to focus on the specialty coffee segment and the retail market. Paramount is one of the first coffee companies in the Midwest to roast, flavor and sell flavored coffees. The proliferation of coffeehouses brings another new opportunity: with its 50 years of experience in blending and roasting coffees, Paramount quickly becomes Michigan's roaster of choice for the coffeehouse and café business. Many of these businesses remain customers today. In 1990, the now-CEO, Angelo Oricchio, from San Paulo, Brazil, joins the company.
A significant milestone occurs in 2000, when Paramount Coffee Company officially becomes an ESOP (employee stock ownership plan), providing for the security of employees well into the future.
During this time a new logo is introduced, capabilities for offering private label products increase and new packaging machines are purchased. The Joe Knows Coffee line is introduced and is overwhelmingly successful. A new gourmet coffee package is unveiled and Paramount makes an extremely successful entry into the branded coffee market. Its coffee products are now shipped across the country, into Canada and the United Kingdom.
Rich in history and passion, through good and tough times alike, Paramount Coffee Company has become one of the largest coffee roasters in the Midwest. We have a loyal following of longtime customers who have come to know and trust us to provide them, and their customers, with outstanding coffees and exceptional service.
Today, the company is led by three men who have been with Paramount Coffee Company since the early 1990s, and they have become the ideal stewards to lead Paramount into the future: Brazilian-born Angelo Oricchio is CEO, Steve Morris serves as President and COO, and Robert Morgan is CFO/CIO. These leaders – along with employees who share their dedication to product quality, service and innovation – serve as the foundation of this company and the reason Paramount Coffee Company will continue to thrive for many years to come.
What started as a small entrepreneurial dream, Paramount Coffee Company has become one of the highly respected and largest roasters in the Mid-west, continually striving to exceed your every expectation to deliver unsurpassed coffees to your customers.

So it's been established that movement aka flutters have been felt as of last week, now today we're at the "was that a kick?" stage. Given my recent familiarity with gas and indigestion I know for sure that's not the explanation, I've also become very familiar with the annoyance and pain of expanding tissues in the abdominal area, doesn't feel like that either.
Today I experienced the first "can't sleep, can't think about anything else" craving. Don't get me wrong, I have craved stuff before but it's never been a show stopper, I've been able to (mostly patiently) wait hours, days or weeks to satisfy them. Not this time, this morning I woke up at 4:30am and was not able to get back to sleep, a complete first for me. I patiently waited several hours for daddy-to-be to get out of bed and get ready and almost 5 hours later I was able to finally satisfy my craving for scrambled eggs and bacon (not homemade, not from a chain restaurant but from a mom cafe, yes the craving was THAT specific), and move on to other things in life.
Here I am at almost 10pm and I still don't know how I made it through the day without a nap. I hope that this is a "just once" episode that I get to blog and laugh about and my future nights are only disrupted by trips to the bathroom.
Although I must be proud of myself for sitting at a movie theater for almost 3 hours and only having to get up once.
You can look forward to more cartoons in the future as I have a huge collection and I don't know when I may identify with one of them.
And finally, on the "things I never thought I would find cool and potentially become obsessed about", we have the unlikely winner in the form of sticker calendars. You see, I got this cool pregnancy calendar for Christmas where I get to write in the dates and place stickers for select milestones, that's pretty cool. Today while at Borders Fox walks to me carrying this "Baby's first year" sticker calendar, that's when I noticed how much I had underestimated the cool factor and my enjoyment of these things. So even though I won't need it for quite a while I had the whole "it's on clearance now, don't know if we are going to find it again" debate inside my head and just gave in to pressure. So yes, there's stickers in my foreseeable future.

Take a look at every premier class World Champion to have raced with the famous #1 over the past three decades
Over the past 30 years, only eight riders have had the honour of defending the greatest prize in motorcycle racing with the #1 emblazoned across the front of their machines. Greats of the sport from Casey Stoner to Jorge Lorenzo to Mick Doohan all opted to race with the famous number and now there's one more name to add to this elite club: Francesco Bagnaia.
The Ducati Lenovo rider will become the first rider in 11 years to race with it and aims to become the first rider in a quarter of a century to defend their premier class crown with the #1. Not since Mick Doohan in 1998 has a rider managed to successfully defend their title whilst racing with the number 1, but Bagnaia will be hoping to end the 25-year curse.
Take a look at the eight previous World Champions to race with the #1 in the premier class:

Our Green Vision recognizes the power of people to mobilize in making real changes, to overcome social barriers and improve the health of everyone – from youth to seniors and everyone in between.
People Powered Change
Each of us has a role to play in building a strong Ontario. We are more than just taxpayers. We are individuals, family members, part of our community — we are citizens.
Look around you, in your community, neighbourhood, town, city, region. In every place around our province, people are creating positive change making their communities stronger, more compassionate and sustainable.
We watch as the big three entrenched parties fail to solve the challenges we face in Ontario each day. Their talk is about accountability to us as taxpayers, forgetting our shared desire as citizens to build a vibrant province where every person is given the opportunity to thrive.
This province can and must do better. We are in a moment of transformative change – let's seize that moment and make changes that will benefit us all now and for generations to come.
STRATEGY A
Support the health care system
The Green Party of Ontario believes in a publicly funded health care system accountable to the public, focused on people's needs.
Our vision seeks to make sure that access to health care is available when you need it, that it supports keeping us in good health, and that public health policy development considers the social determinants of health.
In short, we believe in a people-centred approach to health.
We take a comprehensive view of health care by using smart investments to improve our current system, making health promotion and early intervention a top priority, improving the care available to Ontario's changing demographics and ensuring sufficient resources are allocated to mental health.
POLICIES A
The Green Vision to support the health care system is to:
Make dental and pharmacare universally accessible
Implement a universal dental care program. Dental health is directly linked to an individual's overall health and an important part of a health promotion strategy.
Push for a federally funded Pharmacare program, and in the absence of a federal program, extend a provincially funded Pharmacare program to provide all Ontarians with access to medicine.
Support hospitals and health care facilities
Reduce overcrowding in hospitals with a system wide strategy to better use existing resources in home care, long-term care, nurse-led clinics, primary care and community care.
Develop a health care capacity plan to reopen hospital beds, operating rooms and services based on the population's need for care.
Create an integrated funding structure for health care, based on quality outcomes that will ensure that the best care is provided by the most appropriate and cost effective provider.
Expand the number of and access to Nurse Practitioner led clinics in all parts of the province.
Increase the number of Nurse Practitioners in long-term care, mental health care and acute care facilities to improve patient care and outcomes.
Increase funding for Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) that are struggling to fulfill their downloaded mandate from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and provide dedicated funds that ensure enhanced collaboration with various partners, including District Social Services Administration Boards (DSSABs), to enhance the integration and delivery of public services.
Improve primary care and community health care
Commit to comprehensive primary health care as the foundation of the health system so that every person in Ontario has timely access to a primary health care provider and to ensure that health promotion, illness prevention and community well-being are at the centre of our health system.
Provide every Ontarian with electronic access to their personal health records.
Provide insurance claimants with clear, fair and thorough guidelines on how to proceed with their claims and ensure the accountability of insurers to their clients through an independent and objective regulatory process to ensure fair evaluation, support and compensation for victims of injuries.
Expand access to multiservice and integrated primary care models such as family health teams, nurse-led clinics, community care centres, and Indigenous health access centres.
Mandate training for primary health care practitioners on the health care needs of trans and gender-diverse people.
Support increased midwifery training and birthing centres and ensure accessibility of obstetricians in case of birth complications at birthing centres.
Expand the number of abortion clinics in Ontario, including in the north. All but one of Ontario's clinics are situated in the GTA or Ottawa.
Improve the level of care in residential homes for people with severe disabilities, including increased funding and strict guidelines for proper care, and more vigilant auditing and inspections.
Support and fund programs for children of all ages with autism.
Create more meaningful day programs for all levels of special needs individuals after graduating from high school.
Support health care providers
Prioritize health care investment in frontline services rather than administration.
Ensure all care providers are working at their full scope of practice.
Provide equal pay for equal work across all health care sectors.
Provide all health care professionals with mental health and addictions training.
Designate the Ontario Personal Support Worker Association as the self-governing regulatory body of personal support workers in Ontario, to increase the accountability of those who provide care to vulnerable populations, and to ensure reasonable working conditions for personal support workers.
Advance long-term care and home care
Monitor and improve the quality of care in long-term care homes and reduce wait times for elder care.
Ensure staff of long-term care facilities have proper resources to appropriately address the needs of residents that require complex care such as mental illness and addictions, acquired brain injury, and/or brain disorders including dementia.
Increase funding for home and community care to provide support for people to live at home longer.
Invest additional resources to improve the availability of assisted living and transitional living for seniors.
Provide support for family members who care for an infirm relative full time.
Develop and fund research into smart home technology to enable us to age in place and stay in our communities.
Increase options for rural health care
Empower Nurse Practitioners as primary health care providers especially in areas that lack primary care options.
Increase funding for telemedicine, including telepsychiatry, and full-scale Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams in rural areas.
Establish a full list of core services, including specialized health services, that ensure their availability within every Local Health Integration Network (LHIN).
Support special public transit services for rural residents to access health care.
Expand public health services
Embed the principles of the social determinants of health in our approach to health care: this includes income and social status; food security; social support networks; education; employment/working conditions; social environments; physical environments; personal health practices and coping skills; healthy child development; gender; and culture.
Develop a Lyme disease strategy for Ontario which coordinates with the Federal Framework on Lyme Disease Act, including an education campaign to raise awareness of Lyme disease, which is on the rise due to climate change.
Include treatment for Lyme Disease as part of OHIP so people with Lyme do not suffer financial hardship to obtain the health care they need.
Develop a provincial strategy to support people with chemical and environmental sensitivities to have access to and participate in public spaces, and find accessible and safe housing.
Implement a school food program to ensure students have access to healthy, local sustainable food.
Support community food hubs to empower people to grow and make their own food, to improve food literacy and to support community gardens and kitchens.
Reinstate the Eat Right program that helps individuals and families make healthy food choices.

STRATEGY B
Address the Mental Health and Addictions Crisis
The government's failure to address growing mental health needs in Ontario is unacceptable.
Thousands of Ontarians are caught between long wait times for publicly funded therapists and the high cost for access to private ones. Children and youth transitioning to the adult mental health systems experience especially long wait times of up to 18 months for access to mental health services.
Over 12,000 young people are waiting desperately for access to long-term or intensive mental-health therapy. According to Children's Mental Health Ontario, "As many as one in five children and youth in Ontario will experience some form of mental health problem. But five out of six of those kids will not receive the treatment they need."
We need to get serious on funding mental health and addictions programs and improve access across the board.
POLICIES B
The Green Party's vision is to:
Provide sufficient and sustainable funding for mental health and addiction services
Increase investments in mental health and addictions services so that patients can obtain the right kind of treatment to support recovery.
Increase funding for mental health and addictions support for children and youth to reduce wait times and scale up specialized mental health and addictions services.
Increase funding for applied mental health and addictions research and evaluation of treatment outcomes.
Remove HST charges from accredited private mental health service providers.
Provide dedicated funding for education and training for health professionals, including physicians and psychotherapists, to expand their scope of practice to include the identification, diagnosis and treatment of a wider variety of mental health and addictions issues.
Dedicate a portion of the proceeds from provincial revenue from legalized cannabis sales to fund additional mental health and addiction programs and services.
Change the system to better protect the most vulnerable
Create an umbrella organization – Mental Health and Addictions Ontario – to consolidate all mental-health and addictions programs in Ontario and drive a future provincial mental health and addictions strategy.
Create more 24/7 mobile crisis intervention teams.
Expand and do more to publicize Telehealth Ontario's ability to respond to callers with mental health and addictions issues.
Reform privacy laws to balance a person's right to privacy with their right to be well.
Improve the legislation on involuntary treatment to include criteria besides physical harm, and ensure that involuntary admission includes treatment.
Develop more clinical standards and health impact assessments to cover a wider array of mental health and addictions issues, working with Health Quality Ontario (HQO), including the Ontario Health Technology Advisory Committee (OHTAC).
End the three-month waiting period for OHIP-covered health services outside hospitals (such as prescription drugs, home care and palliative care) after a patient moves to Ontario from another province.
Confront the opioid crisis
Declare the opioid crisis a state of emergency to not only help funds flow faster, but also provide focused, coordinated government leadership to combat the crisis.
Empower the Chief Medical Officer of Health to act more rapidly in response to public health crises.
Give the Minister of Health the power to authorize the operation of supervised injection sites when a public health emergency is declared. This approach would expedite the opening of new sites, especially in comparison to the federal government's authorization process which will still be time-consuming and resource intensive.
Facilitate both government-sanctioned, supervised drug-use sites and popup sites run by the community. The latter should be supported as a key part of the continuum of care, as popup community-led sites afford certain benefits to people who use drugs that formal sites may lack.
Improve access to culturally appropriate services
Increase recognition and accessibility of culturally-competent and diverse mental health and addictions services, and improve continuity of support as individuals move between public and private settings, such as post-secondary and newcomers programs.
Increase opportunities for community health partnerships in alliance with Truth and Reconciliation Initiatives and the pre-existent Ontario Black Youth Action Plan, to ensure people receiving help can be connected with community organizations.
Improve availability of supports and services in other languages, including French and Indigenous languages.
STRATEGY C
Make Housing More Affordable and Available
The dream of owning a home is getting further and further out of reach for many people. Young people in particular are hit hard by rising prices for buyers and renters.
Housing represents the single biggest investment most Canadian families will ever make. We need to address housing affordability to provide stability and security for both individuals and the economy as a whole.
A re-think of rules is in order. Secondary suites, laneway housing, "tiny houses" and adding more mid-rise development can support human scale intensification in well thought out and inclusive communities.
The housing crisis is a complex problem that requires creative solutions. Those solutions should start with what works for people, not for speculators and developers.
POLICIES C
Prioritize people and communities over speculators
Put a tax on vacant property to make it harder for speculators, whether foreign or domestic, to use real estate as a lucrative place to park cash.
Add a surtax on quick turnaround sales to reduce speculation.
Expand the Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST) in the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH).
Update zoning to create more availability
Update zoning laws to allow alternatives to single-family detached homes, such as tiny homes, secondary suites, and laneway housing.
Incentivize municipalities to zone for the missing middle: a combination of mixed-use buildings and medium density housing types and rental units that increase residential densities while largely maintaining the look and feel of a neighbourhood.
Improve Ontario's inclusionary zoning legislation to ensure the permanent creation of rental and deeply affordable units, mandating that developers include at least 1 new unit of affordable housing for every 5 new houses or condos (20% affordability minimum for new development), including purpose-built rentals.
Remove requirements that municipal governments pay a percentage of the cost of affordable housing under inclusionary zoning laws in line with international best practices.
Create more affordable, safe rental housing options by working with municipalities to modernize by-laws that currently prohibit or establish unreasonable barriers to creating additional housing, such as licensed basement apartments.
Create new tools to support more housing options
Expand the tools available for municipalities, including density bonuses, to provide incentives for the development of affordable housing beyond the minimum requirement and remove requirements for municipalities to compensate developers.
Support the development of Canada's National Housing Strategy: A Place to Call Home.
Re-introduce the brownfield remediation fund to redevelop existing land into commercial or residential properties.
Create a provincial coordinated access point for all affordable housing options available to create a streamlined application for waitlist and placement.
End the Tarion monopoly that is failing to provide adequate warranty protection for new home buyers and to regulate builders, and introduce a competitive multi-provider model for warranty protection.
Support social housing and housing strategies for populations in need
Use a "housing first" approach to develop dedicated supportive housing for people with mental health and addictions issues, physical disabilities, or acquired brain injuries, who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
Provide funding for municipalities to renovate deteriorating social housing stock and introduce new social housing units in their communities to address unmet local need.
Work with the Government of Canada to increase support for proposed and existing social non-profit and co-operative housing.
Evaluate the Indigenous Supportive Housing Program (ISHP) and work closely with the Government of Canada and Indigenous housing providers to ensure that Indigenous people have access to adequate affordable housing.
Increase the number of secondary women's shelters in Ontario, particularly in the north. The total number of beds in Ontario has decreased from 2014 to 2016.
Work with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation to expedite the announced portable housing benefit that will assist women fleeing violence to move to another province, and to find affordable housing in another province if needed.
STRATEGY D
Address Social Inequality and Institutional Discrimination
We recognize that discrimination based on race, gender, ethnicity, and class directly influences economic opportunity through a complex set of institutional effects within families, schools, and places of employment.
Addressing systemic racism and discrimination and advancing equality in our institutions in this province is long overdue.
There are many capable voices leading the discussion on these social justice issues in Ontario. We believe that our role is not to create solutions to these problems, but to amplify the voices of our allies and bring their proposals to the forefront of provincial political discussions.
POLICIES D
Address institutional and systemic racism
Support the Anti-Racism Directorate which enables the incorporation of an anti-racism perspective in all aspects of government policies.
Make age-appropriate curriculum on Residential Schools, Treaties, and Indigenous peoples' historical and contemporary contributions to Canada a mandatory education requirement for Kindergarten to Grade Twelve students.
Oppose racial profiling, street checks or carding by police.
Destroy the information that that was unfairly collected over the years from unconstitutional 'carding' stops.
Help more newcomers access services they need by doubling the funding for immigrant settlement programs and economic bridging programs.
Empower the Ontario Human Rights Commission to conduct compliance reviews of public institutions and organizations to ensure policies and procedures are in place that comply with OHRC requirements and to ensure supportive workplace environments that achieve OHRC objectives.
Reform child welfare programs to address the over-representation of Indigenous and Black youth in child services.
Reform our justice system
Support the increased use of restorative justice and other alternatives to the criminal justice system, and to provide related public education.
Provide training to promote a culture shift across police organizations to use a calm, patient, and de-escalating approach when officers engage members of the public in crisis, rather than the traditional authoritative and commanding manner.
Improve the transparency, accountability, and effectiveness of civilian police oversight bodies according to the recommendations of the Tulloch Report.
Create a more diverse jury pool representative of the community by drawing potential jurors from the OHIP list instead of the MPAC list. Abolish peremptory challenges/blocked jurors.
Increase jury duty compensation to encourage participation.
Limit the maximum number of days that an inmate can be segregated to a total of 15 days as per the recommendation of the Ombudsman of Ontario.
Ensure inmates with mental illness are not put in solitary confinement, and that they are provided with appropriate health care, and clearly articulate a commitment to transfer responsibility for provision of health care within correctional institutions to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care
Amend the Coroners Act to require a mandatory inquest or an alternate coroner-led review process for all in-custody natural deaths.
Amend the Corrections Act to include a constitutionally compliant framework governing searches that is based upon recognition of Charter rights.
Support women in the workplace
Support the Pay Transparency to Close the Gender Pay Gap Act, proposed by the Equal Pay Coalition, which would hold employers accountable to the state of the gender pay gap in their workplaces.
Phase in funding for a comprehensive program for early childhood education and care to support free daycare for working parents with children under age three, support for stay-at-home parents and additional ECE supports.
Provide incentives to offset the capital costs for businesses to set up onsite daycare, with hours matching the working hours of the businesses.
Ensure midwives achieve pay equity.
Support accessible design
Fully implement the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act by preparing an enforcement plan, allocating resources for enforcement and supporting a public awareness campaign.
Provide an accessibility tax incentive for small businesses to help small businesses modify their facilities to accommodate people with disabilities.
STRATEGY E
Honour Indigenous Rights
We must recognize that in building this country and province, treaties were broken, land was taken unceded, and Indigenous rights were violated. The Canadian Government's policies of assimilation through programs like Residential Schools and Sixties Scoops have had terrible repercussions for generations of people.
We believe the time for meaningful action towards reconciliation is now. The government has a legal responsibility to consult with and to work with Indigenous communities – with full partnership, participation, and respect – to make sure everyone in Ontario has access to high quality health care, education, and economic opportunities.
Our vision seeks to acknowledge the reality of Ontario's Indigenous people, including understanding that centuries of broken promises from the province and Canada have made building trust in moving ahead difficult.
The GPO supports the right of Indigenous peoples to determine and develop priorities and strategies for exercising their rights. We also recognize that most Indigenous people in Ontario live off-reserve and in urban areas, and recognize the unique needs of Indigenous communities.
Time, resources and political will must be brought to bear, so that Ontario can build a better relationship with Indigenous people.
POLICIES E
The Green Vision to Honour Indigenous rights:
Ensure consultation and empowerment
Support the rights of First Nations, Métis, Inuit and urban Indigenous communities to determine and develop priorities and strategies for the development or use of their lands or territories and other resources.
Commit to finding solutions for sharing resource revenue, including secondary and tertiary resource revenue, with First Nations.
Provide funding to First Nations to build capacity and support meaningful engagement with government decision making processes.
Collaborate with First Nations and the federal government to renew and reinvigorate the treaty process.
Monitor and provide reports on any current data requested by the National Council for Reconciliation (e.g. data related to gaps between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities in key health and economic indicators), so that it can report on the progress towards reconciliation.
Work collaboratively with the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation to identify and collect copies of all records relevant to the history and legacy of the Residential School system, and to provide these to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.
Support First Nations repatriation efforts and protection of sacred sites and practices, so that when archaeologically significant items are discovered, interested parties such as First Nations and archeologists can stop development until consent is granted.
Improve and support delivery of services
Make immediate investments in affordable urban Indigenous housing, at the same time as the development of an Indigenous Housing Strategy that is outcomes-based and as a result, responsive to communities' needs.
Increase the number of Indigenous health care and education professionals, and support their retention within Indigenous communities.
Support increases to Indigenous Student Bursary funding to keep pace with rising Indigenous population and enrolment, and remove citizenship and eligibility requirements that create barriers based on arbitrary geographical boundaries.
Support the Ontario Indigenous Children and Youth Strategy, whose aim is to enable First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities to have a holistic, culturally-based and community-driven approach to children and youth services. Ensure that Indigenous control is embedded as a core principle.
Include specific engagement and implementation plans that address the unique needs of Indigenous people in child and family services, such as Ontario's Early Years and Child Care Framework.
Establish cultural competency training requirements on Indigenous issues for public-facing professionals (including doctors, dentists, teachers, nurses, corrections officers, and child and social welfare workers). This will require skills-based training in intercultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and anti-racism; and a course in the history and legacy of Residential Schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, and Indigenous teachings and practices.
Work with Political Territorial Organizations, Tribal Councils, and individual communities to flow funds to reserves and to Local Health Integration Networks to increase availability of health services, including mental health and addictions, for on-reserve and urban Indigenous populations.
Address environmental racism against First Nations communities
Recognize First Nations as equals in land management and establish a co-management stewardship model with Indigenous People for the development of provincial resources. This could include a review of regional resource management structures in cooperation with the First Nations Leadership Council to incorporate First Nations effectively into decision making; and funding to train First Nations people in resource management trades and professions.
Address issues in southwestern Ontario's chemical valley by investing in stronger monitoring and enforcement of air quality. Work with the people of Aamjiwnaang to identify ways of improving transparency and trust between the government and the community, including ensuring the community has access to real-time air monitoring information.
Provide technical expertise and training to local operators of water treatment facilities to ensure safe drinking water in Indigenous communities.
Work with Indigenous communities and the federal government to create water treatment systems that will end long-term boil water advisories.
Respect the rights of Grassy Narrows and White Dog First Nations on the English Wabigoon River system to practice traditional food harvesting in their traditional territories, in a clean ecosystem free from mercury contamination.
Pursue the commitments made by the Province of Ontario to those First Nations to clean up the industrial site and the river system that was contaminated by mercury, and ensure that Ontario addresses its liability for causing this contamination. This includes immediately building a mercury health centre.
Oppose the reverse flow of Line 9 which runs under populated urban areas, as well as across Indigenous territories, every major river in Southern Ontario, and under prime farmland and sensitive ecosystems.
Assist with building infrastructure on reserves
Increase funding for daycares on First Nations which too often fall into disrepair.
Work with First Nations and the federal government to ensure proper resources are available and allocated to long-term care beds for First Nations.
Continue efforts to ensure all First Nations have access to the same health care services offered to all Ontarians.
Ensure that all areas of the criminal justice system offer First Nation police the support they need to be able to carry out their responsibilities.
Restore the municipal tax exemption for First Nation purchases of reserve land.
Extend the hydro delivery charge credit to all band buildings.
Address issues in legal system
Require cultural competency training for all levels of the criminal justice system specific to working with First Nations.
Invest in mental health workers and services in the justice system specific to First Nations, and ensure FASD services are included as part of the justice system.
Reform jury selection procedures in Ontario so that juries are drawn from databases more reflective of the population, moving away from using property assessment data (which systematically excludes people such as those living on First Nations reserves) to instead use OHIP data for the purposes of compiling the jury roll.
Provide stable funding to implement and evaluate community sanctions that will provide realistic alternatives to imprisonment for Indigenous offenders and respond to the underlying causes of offences.
STRATEGY F
Improve our democracy - put people first
We need a government that respects and engages citizens and communities; a government committed to building partnerships with communities to develop sensible solutions, instead of imposing top-down bureaucratic solutions. It's time for more democracy, not less.
The current voting system needs reform. We are using an antiquated and inefficient way of casting our votes. Our current system of 'first past the post' means that politicians are being elected, sometimes with 35% of the votes cast in their favour.
It is not democratic for a party to receive less than 40% of the vote and yet have 100% of the power in the Legislature, which happens in most provincial elections. In the 2014 provincial election, only 52% of eligible Ontarians filled out a ballot. In fact, in provincial elections, Ontario is lagging far below the national average.
This needs to change. We can vote for what we believe in with tried and true systems. It's time for ranked ballots for municipal elections, and proportional representation provincially.
We need to move to make politicians more accountable: local decision making in the public interest is essential to a vibrant democracy. We need to have checks and balances to ensure that all public officials are held to high ethical standards, including implementing principles of open government that lead to fairness and transparency.
POLICIES F
The Green Vision to improve democracy:
Reform elections to improve accountability and level the playing field
Move to proportional representation in provincial elections. A fairer system where every vote counts will encourage democratic participation and ensure that our government more accurately represents the democratic will of the people and the diversity of our communities. It will also demand party collaboration, encouraging consensus-building and compromise to create stronger, long-lasting policies.
Implement transparent rules for fair leaders' debates. For example, any party that achieved 2% of the overall popular vote in the previous election and qualifies for per vote funding, should automatically qualify to be represented in televised or streamed leaders' debates.
Lower donation limits to $1000 per individual, and campaign spending limits for political parties to $0.68 per elector.
Protect voter rights
Lower the provincial voting age to 16 to engage youth earlier and to create lifelong voting habits.
Hold general elections on the weekend, and increase the availability of advanced voting.
Enforce strict accessibility standards at voting places to ensure that those with physical disabilities or other mobility issues are able to vote without barriers.
Place a moratorium on the use of online voting provincially and municipally until strict rules, regulations and security procedures are developed to ensure the integrity of elections.
Increase the number of mobile polls at hospitals and residences for seniors and people living with disabilities that make it difficult to leave their home.
Make politicians more accountable between elections
Oppose backroom deals, no bid contracts and secret regulations.
Create a level playing field for all businesses in Ontario, ensuring that contracting is fair, open and consistent.
Strengthen Whistleblower protections to ensure those who disclose information in the public interest are free from retaliation.
Provide an online report card of MPPs voting record. This would include a link to each motion with an easy to understand summary, prepared by the government to ensure it is unbiased and non-partisan.
Oppose whipping the vote. MPPs should not be allowed to be expelled from a party or face other consequences for not voting with party lines on non-confidence motions.
Reverse centralization of power in the Leader's Office by removing a party leader's power to overturn nominated candidates that are duly nominated by local riding associations, and implement legislative reforms to reduce the role of the leader's office in committee appointments and the allocation of member questions.
Bring municipal workers up to the standards of provincial public servants covered by the Public Service Act, and make them accountable to the Integrity Commissioner.
Empower and engage citizens
Extend the right to vote in municipal and provincial elections to permanent residents so that they, too, can have a say in how their tax dollars are spent.
Increase the number of regular public forums where constituents can speak to their MPPs to improve the quality and quantity of public input in government decision making.
Allow the introduction of electronic petitions to the Ontario Legislature.
Enact legislation to recall corrupt provincial and municipal officials (such as the law enacted in British Columbia), which will ensure more accountability among our elected officials.
Create a Citizens Institute that will help train citizens to intervene in government processes, such as lobbying, speaking to committees, and participating in formal proceedings like the Environmental Bill of Rights.

Cap executive salaries in the Ontario Public Service at double the Premier's salary.

Aim to reduce the number of freedom of information requests over time by proactively making as much data available online as possible. Information should be assumed to be publicly available with the government requesting to shield information from disclosure, instead of information being assumed to be hidden with citizens requesting access.
Ensure that the principles of Privacy by Design are embedded throughout the government

The iconic seven-star Burj Al Arab hotel at dusk
Dubai is known for its dazzling desert skyscrapers, but it wasn't always that way. The fortune of the small fishing village that Dubai once was changed with the discovery of oil in the 1960s, and a decision was made in the 1980s to turn the trading port into a luxury tourist destination. A slew of stunning buildings were then constructed, often at lightning pace, including the seven-star Burj Al Arab hotel, which opened in 1994. With its unforgettable sail shape, the 321-meter-tall skyscraper quickly became one of the Dubai skyline's most recognizable buildings. In the backdrop you see a beautiful shimmer of the Burj, Khalifa, Dubai's tallest building (828 m) – Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Q: VBA Format Cells based on another sheet I am needing to add a variable range, per row starting in G2 (always) and carrying through the lastrow/lastcol -4 and then subtracting the value in the D column for each row & entering that result in lastcol-3.  I've pieced this code together from other codes, and never used function.Sum, so I may be way off.
 Here is what I currently have for my code:

A: lastcol is a number not a letter and Range, when using strings, expects letters.
Change to Cells():
sht.Cells(i,lastcol-3).Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(sht.Range(sht.Cells(i,7),sht.Cells(i,lastcol-4)))

Whew! Right on the heels of a birthday weekend (which means lots of eating in restaurants) came a ten-day road trip to northern California – a whirlwind of a time which comprised a wedding, a funeral, plenty of family time, a couple of days and dinner dates with good friends, and a couple of vacation days.
The ocean was played in, wine was purchased, nostalgic locations were visited, but mostly, (surprise!) food was eaten. To the literary nazis reading this: I intentionally chose the passive voice right there, and don't regret it. One of my favorite restaurant meals was lunch at Citrus Club in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, right by Golden Gate Park. It's a noodle house that uses citrus-based sauces instead of oils. If you go, get the garlic noodles and ginger chicken with a cold sake. The best dinner out was at Lotus Chaat, a primarily vegetarian, southern Indian restaurant and spice market in the Marin town of San Rafael. The food at Lotus Chaat is plentiful and spiced to your liking, and the service is unbeatable. If you've never before eaten a dosa, get thee to your nearest southern Indian dining establishment and make sure you're hungry.
Always a foodie go-to is Napa and its surrounding towns. When we're in the area, Joe and I never miss Oxbow Market, popular among locals and tourists alike for obscure spices, the freshest of produce, hand-crafted bitters, oysters, artisan cheese, Italian pastries, etc. Oxbow is also home to Ritual Coffee Roasters (Joe's favorite), Three Twins Ice Cream (my favorite – oh, the lemon cookie!), and Gott's Roadside (our favorite as a collective). Gott's is a diner on crack. You'll pay a little more than you would at your average diner, but you won't regret it – especially if you order the garlic fries. It's all local and made with love, and you can't really put a price on the love. Except you can. $30-40 for two people to get crazy full.
Easily the best meal on our trip was one cooked by our wonderful friends, Tanner and Heather. We always eat really well with T & H; they cook beautifully, creatively, and simply. They appreciate nuance in flavor and a good bottle of wine, and that's only the smallest of reasons I love our friendship. Our Monday night meal was a feast of grilled lamb pops, grilled flatbread, caprese salad from their garden, basil and mint pesto from their garden, and fig-serrano compote with peppers and herbs from their garden and figs from Joe's grandma's tree. Tanner was the brains and the brawn behind the compote, while the rest of us tasted and stirred and recommended small additions. It was delightful. The whole evening was delightful. There's just nothing like sharing a meal with good people.
We carted home about twelve pounds of figs from the aforementioned tree, and last night recreated the fig compote with a couple of adaptations, mostly due to memory problems. It still came out nice and tasty, and I canned seven half-pint jars to save for meals down the road and/or stocking stuffers. Join me in this sweet and savory party, why don't you?
To make the compote, begin by rinsing about six pounds of figs, cutting off their tops and bottoms to remove some of the white parts, and slicing them into a medium-sized saucepan. There's no need to be super methodical or concerned with size; they'll cook down and you'll blend them up.
Mince five to seven serrano peppers, seeds and all, and throw them in with the sliced figs. Don't worry; they aren't that spicy. I even had to throw in some red chili flakes to bring the heat to my liking.
Mix in a half cup of sucanat or brown sugar, and heat the saucepan to just over medium, or whatever it takes to get a mild bubble happening.
Once it bubbles, reduce the heat to a simmer and add a handful of chives and about a tablespoon of fresh thyme. Pour in a small glug of apple cider vinegar. I used about 2 1/2 tablespoons, but you can use more or less depending on your desired level of brightness. I thought the amount I used contributed a happy level of acidity without making the sauce taste at all vinegar-like.
This picture isn't super pretty, but you can count on it tasting just right.
Let the compote simmer until it's reached the consistency you like. Pureeing it with an immersion blender really melds the flavors together nicely.
Dip about 3/4 C of the compote into seven sterilized, half-pint mason jars. With sterilized lids on, boil them in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. Wait until the seals pop, then they will store for many moons. Alternatively, you can freeze the stuff.
It is fabulous as a pizza sauce with arugula and goat cheese and pancetta (what else?). It's great with grilled or roasted meat. It's enjoyable over veggies or as a dip. I served it last night over roasted chicken with a salad entirely from the garden (cucumber, tomato, shallot, parsley, oregano) dressed with olive oil and lemon juice.

From GAMEO
Rosenort was the name of two villages in Prussia where Mennonites lived, Rosenort (now Jurandowo) in the Klein Werder region, and Rosenort (now Suchowo) in the Gross Werder region, where the Rosenort Mennonite Church was located. The name was transplanted from Prussia to the Molotschna settlement, Ukraine. From here it was transplanted by the Kleine Gemeinde to the West Reserve, Manitoba, and Jansen, Nebraska. It was also found in Swift Current, Saskatchewan; Cuauhtemoc and Durango, Mexico; and Fernheim (Chaco) and Volendam, Paraguay. (See Villages).
