Hi guys after a bit of advice to which tyre is the best value for money. My main concern is road noise and longevity, after some research I have come up with the following 3 options. I have put the price there to help gauge which one has the best "value for money " for its price vs performance. Any help would be much appreciated.
The 697 starts out as a very good tyre on road and in the wet, but after 30k despite wearing well and plenty of depth is very dangerous in the wet, it's noisy, picks up and discharges stones at your panels, is like slicks in any mud but excellent in sand. The General Grabber is regarded as a better tyre all round. I noted at the 2013 Muster the owner of the park had them on all his 4wd's. As for the k02 getting pricey but it's would be the pick if the budget allows.
Tyres are always an interesting subject, lots of different experiences result in lots of differing opinions.
I got 80,000km out of my last set of BFG ATs but this time went for Yokohama Geolanders ($250 each versus $350 each for the BFGs). The Yokos grip far better than the BFGs and the pitch of the road noise is much deeper but I don't think I'm going to get the same longevity.
Usually, longevity is related to hardness of the tyre compound (with equal driving styles). If you choose a softer compound you'll get better grip, but it won't last as long - and I think that's where I stand with the Yokos. I'll know in 50,000km time!
Grandtreks are becoming very popular with lots of van folk, a fellow I spoke to at Rockhampton had done 30k on them pulling 3t of van. He was very pleased with them, looking at the pattern I would say they would be great in the sand too.
The general grabber at2s look like a nice tyre and I have only head good reports about them. I will probs try them or the hankooks as my next tyre. Currently have yoko geolandars cos there was a buy 3 get 4 sale when I needed new tyres.
I made the mistake of calling the Yokos "Grandtreks" which is one of the popular tyres made by Dunlop for use on caravans. Decent sidewalls, reasonably tight tread pattern so it's just fair in mud, quite good on sand.
I have about 20'000km on my D697, size 275/65/17. Still plenty of tread left and I haven't noticed any decrease in wet weather grip, but with a few good months of winter left in Perth, time will tell. I do around 10'000km every 8-10 weeks.
Looks like I might stay away from the d697's then. For the price I think the grabbers look like a go.

Eclipse Committer Election is starting as of 22. Febr. This is the first year I'm allowed to vote therefore I'm thinking what should guide my vote.
I recently read the book The Art of Community from Jono Bacon.
Jone speaks about the concept of Meritocracy.
A meritocracy is a system of governance in which its members are given responsibilities and recognition based upon achievements, merit, and talent. Those who are part of a meritocracy (such as in the Ubuntu and other open source communities) can make tremendous advances in respect and responsibility by simply doing good work. In these communities, money, class, and family connections have little or no impact on the ability to progress and build a reputation.
I believe that is an excellent concept and my vote will be guided by this principle. For an excellent summary of the committer project activities please see the How active is your-Committer blog entry from Ed Merks.
In addition to the involvement of the candidates in Eclipse projects I will also consider their community activity and attitude in the other Eclipse channels, e.g. their twitter activity, blog posts, email, etc.
I'm looking forward to the election; I think we have lots of great candidates.
This entry was posted in Eclipse and tagged Planet. Bookmark the permalink.
I hope that more committers vote this time around. I plan on blogging next week to make sure committers rock the vote.

Summer Mummers creates 'Pandemic Plea for Pennies' telethon

Despite the postponement of the Summer Mummers season due to the coronavirus, the show is going on, only this time it will be streamed.
The melodrama will be streamed this Saturday on television station KWES, starting at 7 p.m. for a three-hour event. Summer Mummers board Vice President Jessi Willmann said the telethon will be used to help fund the Midland Community Theater.
"This is the first time in its history where we've had to cancel the live performances," she said. "It's something we look forward to every single summer."
Summer Mummers is a fundraiser for the Midland Community Theater, raising almost $500,000 a year for the operations budget of MCT. Willmann said the volunteers came up with 35 different ideas to raise funds, but due to logistics, MCT officials figured out a telethon would be the best way to perform and raise money.
The melodrama got a makeover to make it shorter and provide it a pandemic plotline. Volunteers then whittled down the cast, wore masks while rehearsing, maintained 6 feet of distance between cast members and self-quarantined for two weeks before rehearsals started.
"We have been taking a lot of extra precautions," she said. "A lot of costume cleanings that typically don't take place."
Ben Spencer volunteered to write the new script, which is shorter and called "Pandemic Plea for Pennies." The plot is a spoof about saving the Yucca Theater from the evil corona, Willmann said. The telethon is live with some pre-recorded elements, including parts of the melodrama and some olio skits.

"It's kind of a neat thing because we have never been able to pre-record things before," she said. "A lot of our telethon skits will be like Saturday Night Live (SNL) shorts. We are going to have live elements, and we will be interviewing a lot of longtime volunteers a bunch of volunteers people might recognize because they have been involved with Summer Mummers for 35 to 40 years."
She said viewers can stop by the Yucca Theater before the show starts from 4-6 p.m. and volunteers will be giving out mugs and popcorn to people who make a donation. The telethon also will be an awareness event to inform viewers about the history and purpose of Summer Mummers. Volunteers also will serve as a live audience during the show while getting to enjoy the show they normally help put on.
"Normally we have more than 100 volunteers per performance at Summer Mummers," she said. "A lot of Mummers aren't getting the chance to volunteer this year because they're not all actors. We have asked that they attend the telethon and they will serve as the live audience."
The arts are a huge part of not only Midland's community but the nation, Willmann said. It is important for Midlanders to continue to support the MCT.
"We want to keep bringing quality arts to Midland," she said. "We're the third-largest community theater in the nation, and we are a jewel in the desert because we operate more like a repertory or regional theater than we do a community theater."
The show can be viewed on KWES' website. Extra Summer Mummers snippets can be watched at www.facebook.com/summermummers.

Carlos Franco learned the game from his father, who was a green keeper and caddie, before becoming a professional golfer – just like his five brothers – in 1986. After a successful career on the PGA Tour where he won four events, Carlos returned to his native Paraguay to develop his own golf and country club.
More than just a mere golf club, the Carlos Franco Country & Golf Club complex is set within an extensive property that hosts international Polo tournaments as well as providing a diverse range of sporting activities (such as tennis and swimming) for its members.
Since 2004, the Carlos Franco Invitational tournament has been held at the Country & Golf Club. This event was included in Argentina's professional golf circuit, the TPG Tour, in 2007 before it then became part of the Tour de las Americas the following year.

The photo was shot using a SONY SLT-A77V camera at an aperture of f/14, 1/250 sec. shutter speed and ISO 400. DT 18-270mm F3.5-6.3 lens was used to capture the image. Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode. The original image file has a resolution of 6000 x 4000 pixels, or in other words 24.0 megapixels.The photo has a resolution of 350 DPI and occupies a disk space of 5.63 megabytes.
According to the image metadata, the photo was shot on Tuesday 19th of May 2015. The local time was 10:05:22. The timezone was Europe / Athens, which is GMT +03:00. Please note that timezone was guessed using the GPS coordinates and may not be accurate. The EXIF timestamp may also be wrong if the date and time weren't set correctly in the digital camera.
SONY SLT-A77V camera has a built-in GPS receiver and allows geotagging on image files. The coordinates and location where the photo was taken is stored in the EXIF. According to GPS data analysis, the photo was taken at coordinates 38° 28' 57.27" N , 22° 30' 5.43" E. The elevation was 580 meters. Using reverse geocoding, the address associated with the coordinates is guessed as Ethniki Odos Livadias Amfissas, Delfi 330 54, Greece. Depending on the GPS receiver and the reception conditions the accuracy may vary and the address should not be regarded as exact location.


Due to the randomness and uncertainty of wind energy, modern power systems integrating large-scale wind generation will be significantly impacted in terms of system performance and technical challenges. System inertia with high wind penetration is decreasing when conventional thermal generators are gradually replaced by wind turbines, which do not naturally contribute to inertia response. The power imbalance caused by wind power or demand fluctuations leads to the instability of system frequency. Accordingly, the need to attach the supplementary virtual inertia control to wind farms (WFs) strongly arises. When multi-wind farms are connected to the grid simultaneously, the selection of which critical WFs to install the virtual inertia control is greatly important to enhance the stability of system frequency. By building the small signal model of wind power systems considering frequency regulation, the installation locations are identified by the geometric measures of the mode observability of WFs. In addition, this paper takes the impacts of grid topology and selection of feedback control signals into consideration. Finally, simulations are conducted on a multi-wind farms power system and the results demonstrate that the designed virtual inertia control method can effectively assist the frequency regulation.

Parenteral nutrition (PN) serves as an important therapeutic modality that is used in adults, children, and infants for a variety of indications. The appropriate use of this complex therapy aims to maximize clinical benefit while minimizing the potential risks for adverse events. Complications can occur as a result of the therapy and as the result of the PN process. These consensus recommendations are based on practices that are generally accepted to minimize errors with PN therapy, categorized in the areas of PN prescribing, order review and verification, compounding, and administration. These recommendations should be used in conjunction with other ASPEN publications, and researchers should consider studying the questions brought forth in this document.
ASPEN has developed a training series to educate members of the healthcare team who work with PN to optimize your knowledge base of safe PN practices.
This training series consists of four interwoven parts and a supplemental webinar. As a participant in the training series you have the option to complete one or all parts, however to receive the Certificate of Training in Parenteral Nutrition Safety, you must complete all four parts and claim continuing education credit. Additionally, because of the complexities associated with PN safety, ASPEN recommends completion of the entire series for members of the healthcare team involved in providing PN to patients in all settings. The five parts are as follows.
Special offer available for pharmacy program residents. Contact Valerie Bloom for more details.
List key recommendations for safe PN prescribing from the ASPEN Parenteral Nutrition Safety Recommendations.
Describe rationale supporting recommendations for safe PN prescribing.
Identify future research questions and topics related to PN prescribing.
Describe safety issues in the PN use process affecting preparation of PN.
Discuss the role of knowledge deficits and lack of a standardized professional curriculum on PN compounding errors.
Identify broad strategic approaches to improve PN safety at the compounding step.
Identify common types of PN administration errors.
Describe system-based strategies to enhance the safety of PN administration.
List factors that promote or inhibit the use of the PN Safety Consensus Recommendations in the administration phase of PN.
Propose action items to promote use of the PN Safety Consensus Recommendations for PN administration.
The PN safety training series is designed for nurses, pharmacists, physicians and other healthcare professionals who are involved in the provision of PN to patients in all settings from the hospital to home. The training series is designed to educate healthcare professionals on safe PN practices to then empower those individuals to modify processes within their organizations.
Each enduring program in the four part series is accredited separately. To obtain credit for each enduring program, participants must listen to the recording in full, pass the posttest with a score of 100% and complete an evaluation via the electronic CE system in ASPEN's eLearning Center, which is accessible from any internet connection at www.nutritioncare.org/elearning. Participants may log in using the email address and password on file with ASPEN.
Please note, to receive the Certificate of Training in Parenteral Nutrition Safety, participants must successfully complete all four enduring programs and claim CE credits for each. All CE credit must be claimed by the program expiration date of April 30, 2019.
ASPEN is accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
Each activity is available for a maximum of 1.5 contact hours (0.1 – 0.15 CEU) per activity. Knowledge activities.
CE credit is no longer available for dietitians for this renewal program. CE credit for dietitians expired April 30, 2017 for the original program.

I've been at metrocare for several months and it's all been stressful so far. Management is close to no help, and gives employees mixed messages day to day. Quotas for work is stressed everyday. Metrocare is the worst with paying overtime. This job is not an 8 hour job, period. And yet management hates paying ANY overtime. But expects us to do all that needs to be done, regardless. Managers are not understanding. Caseload is very large and managers stress we unrealistically meet quotas for all clients.
Happy with Management at MY office.
I'm extremely happy with the management at the Prescott Valley branch and would gladly work for her again. I loved every aspect of my job and if I hadn't of relocated, I would still be there.
DYSFUNCTIONAL 🗣 not a good first job for case management! DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE!
EVERY DAY OF EVERY MONTH.
So the question then becomes..... WHAT DOES MANAGEMENT DO?
I can tell you what they DON'T do; WORK.
Giving them suggestions on how to make things better is a foreign concept, and it goes through one ear and out of the other. For example, We had a all unit meeting where we voiced concerns about doing double and triple the work....not ONE concern was addressed LET ALONE written down.
If you are not a "yes man" or a person that does whatever just to get by, then you will be targeted more... for challenging the subpar work standard and status quo of work and work environment.
There is NO structure or standard in the HCS department what-so-ever. Whatever you can bill Medicaid for and get away with is the standard. So if that means doing unethical things to meet your "quota" so be it. They care about BILLING MEDICAID not client care or satisfaction.
I have had MANY jobs in different areas including case management positions doing the SAME EXACT JOB and was mastering it; HERE, I was soooooo stressed, I had trouble sleeping, managing work life balance, and was flat out depressed from all the stress and pressure from the work load but most importantly a work environment that DID NOT set me up for success at all.
One thing I did learn was that NO JOB is worth your mental health.
The staff truly cares and goes above beyond to ensure the clients receive excellent care. I had the great opportunity to work with some top performers and very gifted staff.
Metrocare is a stressful place to work but you can gain alot of knowledge and experience with working with the mental health population. Metrocare field based position is beneficial but still stressful at times. You have to like challenges, present to be caring, and eager to help others in order to fulfill your obligations in the field. You need to have good time management, organization, and structure in order to prevent stressful issues . I enjoyed being out in the field, and you get to experience and witness working with individuals with all type of personality disorders, and all mental health diagnosis such as MDD, Bipolar, and Schizophrenia.
Metrocare was great for flexibility. The CSC position allows for you to make your own schedule and work remotely for the majority of the week. You do have to travel to meet with clients and attend meetings. The monthly benchmark was almost impossible to make. There were constant reprimands when benchmark was not made, but very few praises for those who were able to meet.
Being part of a working team is always a plus, I enjoy working with people and doing what I need to do to get the job done in a timely manner. I am a problem solver because I like peace. I can work with anyone that's the enjoyment to me on a job. I am and willing to learn.
great company to work for and also if you want to learn about what it is they do as a company. I enjoyed everyday working and doing what I love to do is help assist the world of behavioral health services and primary care.
I love being with my clients and helping them. I love making sure that they get the services that they need. I am a person that likes to help even if it is rehabilitation.
I did like working there. The only problem is they had a massive lay over, due to the CEO issue. Their issue becomes your issue. My Sup. was pretty nice matter of fact I loved her never had one like her before. Just go in and do what is needed and you will be good. Never had an issue besides the one listed above.
If you're in a position that generates revenue for Metrocare, than that's all that's expected of you. Metrocare only cares about money. It's never taken into consideration your clients may be in distress, and this may prevent you from meeting your numbers. There's a threat of write up for everything. If you don't meet your numbers, if you claim overtime, if somebody complains. They also will not invest in the tools needed to complete your job, and they put a lot of clients personal information at risk. On top of that Metrocares clients, employees, and employee family information was compromised because Metrocare is too cheap to protect the information.
Your were required to do more work then your normal work hours to keep up with the job demands. I learned how to improve the quality of life my clients lacked by encouraging and motivating them. The most enjoyable part of my job was seeing my clients quality of life improve. I enjoyed making a difference.
A heavy case load that was difficult to keep updated with limited time.
Metrocare can be very stressful at time with the workload that is placed on one person. I feel that Metrocare is a great place for a young person to start at to learn case management, but it should not be a long term job.
I don't even want to type about this company. It's not worth the time. Just run!! Even upper management is a joke. They all work together. The company also is forcing you to do illegal documenting to make them money. Their all about Quantity and not Quality. Good luck on your search!!
Great resources, amazing staff that are willing to help out with any needs. Highly recommended. You are able to have an alternative caregiver for any other reasons.
Working with people with intellectual disabilities is a calling, and not just something to make a pay check. It was difficult meeting the demands of seeing 45-60 families each month, and also not receiving and compassion from the leadership team if a person did not make the "bench".
I really loved working at metrocare even though i was there 4 short months it was by far the best job i ever had. Great benefits awesome work environment strongly recommend this job!

What if Your Cellphone Data Can Reveal Whether You Have Alzheimer's?
We're getting closer—but there are some tricky questions that need to be addressed.
By Visar Berisha and Julie Liss
Every time we email, make a call, write a Facebook message, or record a Snap on Snapchat, we are providing indirect evidence of our neurological health.
Moodboard/Thinkstock
Many of us have seen loved ones progress through a neurological disorder. First you notice changes in their speech patterns, then their walk becomes less stable, then they become slower overall. These conditions worsen as they progress through the disease. With every action that we take, we provide the world with some indirect evidence of our neurological health.
Let's take talking as an example. It's a deceptively complicated activity. We must think of the words to convey our message, organize the words in compliance with the rules of our language, and activate more than 100 muscles to produce intelligible speech. This process requires coordination across multiple regions of the brain. If there is a disturbance to any of these regions, it becomes apparent in the resulting speech. What we say and how we say it is actually a window into the health of our brain. After all, just a couple of cocktails affect the brain in ways that we can detect with our naked ears and eyes.
We do research at the intersection of data analytics and neurological disorders. (We are professors at Arizona State University; ASU is a partner with Slate and New America in Future Tense.) And we wondered: What if we can measure aspects of everyday activities like talking, walking, and typing to objectively quantify and track our brains' health and function over time?
Enter the smartphone. The mobile and web applications we use consistently monitor our daily patterns. Every time we email, make a call, write a Facebook message, or record a Snap on Snapchat, we are providing indirect evidence of our neurological health. By one estimate, every day, the people spend an average of four hours on their smartphones. Our phones are fit with a variety of sensors that can provide health-relevant information, such as what our speech sounds like, how we communicate, where we go, how fast we move, and how we change our facial expressions.
That means there is a significant opportunity to leverage these new sources of data for improved decision-making and diagnosis in the medical fields. Imagine a health care professional being able to monitor your aunt's speech in phone calls to optimize her medication for Parkinson's disease. Imagine algorithms applied to your grandpa's emails that his doctor uses to track his Alzheimer's disease progression. Imagine a phone monitor that alerts a family when their son may have stopped taking his medication for bipolar disorder at college based on unusual changes to his daily patterns.
In our work, we use principles from signal processing, mathematics, and speech/language analytics to solve, what we call in engineering, an inverse problem: Given long-term data from an individual, what can we say about his or her neurological health? As proof of concept, we have worked on retrospective, opportunistic data sources from public figures to test our algorithms. Our first case study was President Ronald Reagan, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 1994. By analyzing the complexity of the language that he used in press conferences, we identified changes in language that were consistent with dementia six years before his official diagnosis in 1994. Similarly, computational analysis of YouTube interviews from the late boxer Muhammad Ali revealed a slowing down and slurring of his speech consistent with Parkinsonism well before his official diagnosis in 1984.
More recently we performed a similar analysis on active players in the National Football League to identify potential early signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. This study showed that there were clinically interpretable and concerning changes in language use in active players in the NFL. Their sentences became simpler over their years, and their vocabulary size was reduced. Similar changes have been observed in populations with mild cognitive impairment and dementia. Now, we have partnered with industry and clinics to prospectively evaluate these speech and language analytics on a large scale nationally.
This is all very promising. However, doctors can't yet diagnose someone from afar with only smartphone data. Before we can use these new sources of data to inform clinical decision-making, we need to overcome some significant technical challenges. While we have recently seen important advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence, this work has been largely driven by consumer applications, with Google, IBM, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon leading the way. These companies have developed deep learning models that achieve near-human performance on certain tasks, even as their workings are largely incomprehensible to human users. Most people use the Amazon Echo without an understanding of the A.I. algorithms that underlie the speech recognition engine. And for the most part, they don't need to know. If your Echo doesn't understand you, you simply repeat the sentence until it does or you give up.
But health applications are fundamentally different. The repercussions of a misdiagnosis can be lethal. That's why doctors are currently wary of relying solely on A.I. for diagnosis. To build trust, clinicians need to have access to interpretable evidence to confirm any diagnosis or assessment from an A.I. engine. These algorithms shouldn't only provide a final diagnosis but also interpretable evidence for why a decision was made. For example, an A.I. engine that predicts a final diagnosis of Parkinson's disease may back up this claim by providing additional information regarding the person's gait, speech patterns, tremor, etc. Such metrics are interpretable to clinicians as they appear on existing test batteries to diagnose Parkinson's disease. While we have seen advances toward this goal recently, we still have a way to go.
In addition to the technical obstacles, there are also policy challenges. How do we strike a balance between maximal health benefits and privacy? Most of us accept that Facebook, Google, and Snapchat will sell our data for targeted advertising. In exchange, they provide us with services we value. Are we equally OK with the same companies selling our data to health insurance providers for risk assessment? What happens if users take actions based on this data without medical consultation? What are Facebook's ethical responsibilities if it determines that someone is at risk for a mood disorder based on changes in a user's posting history? What are the doctor's responsibilities if he makes an incorrect decision based on information from an A.I. engine?
These are complicated questions that may require additional regulation. Technical innovation in A.I. is outpacing the policy innovation needed to deal with the very significant changes we will see in the future. And that future is approaching sooner than we all think.

Born on December 27, 1988, as Ok Taek Yeon, he immigrated with his family when he was 10 years old to Bedford, Massachusetts. He lived in Massachusetts for 7 years and attended Bedford High School before moving to Seoul while he was still in high school to pursue a career in the arts.
Taecyeon transferred to Young Dong High School in Seoul to finish his high school years and completed his undergraduate degree at Dankook University where he majored in Business Administration. He later furthered his studies at the prestigious Korea University, enrolling in their Graduate School of International Studies.
When he was 17, Taecyeon participated in an open audition for JYP Entertainment in New York City at his sister's urging. He was chosen as one of the final 35 and was invited to Korea to continue in the competition. He became one of the top 12 finalists to compete in the reality show "Superstar Survival" but was the first contestant to be cut.
In 2008, he participated in the reality show "Hot Blood Men," which followed 13 trainees who eventually formed the boy bands 2AM and 2PM. Taecyeon joined 2PM, which debuted in 2008. As the main rapper, he has contributed both songs and rap lyrics to the group's discography. 2PM took an official hiatus between July 2017 to June 2021 due to the members' enlistment in their mandatory military service but returned from their hiatus in June 2021 with the release of their 7th studio album. Taecyeon carried out his enlistment from September 4, 2017 to May 16, 2019.

A train at the Tweedbank terminus just south of Galashiels in the second week of operation of the Borders Railway.
People in Northumberland will have heard of the excitement in the Scottish Borders over the reopening of their railway recently, if only because it was officially opened by the Queen on Wednesday, September 9, the day she became the longest reigning British monarch.
There has been rumbling discontent in the Borders ever since the Waverley line was closed in 1969, and after much campaigning and political pressure, it was agreed to reopen the line from Edinburgh as far as Tweedbank, between Galashiels and Melrose.
This involved 30 miles of new construction, mainly but not entirely on the trackbed of the Waverley line, making the whole line 35 miles from Edinburgh to Tweedbank, the longest reopened line so far.
The economic case was rather shaky because it was based on too narrow a spectrum of the line's potential, but politics trumps economics, and the Scottish transport minister, Derek Mackay, made the point that the government could see beyond the limited economic case, saying that, apart from the benefits to the Borders, it would contribute £33m to the wider Scottish economy.
When there is enthusiasm for something positive, there are always those who delight in trying to decry it.
Sceptics described the reopening as the worst value project you can find and a colossal waste of money, saying it would sustain very heavy losses and should be scrapped.
On the day the accompanying photograph was taken, this paper's sister title in the Borders, the Southern Reporter, carried the front-page headline 'Railway struggles to cope with demand'.
Of course, there are always people who will turn out to try something new, especially when it has been heavily publicised, but it will be interesting to see what the loadings are like when it has settled down into an on-going pattern.
However, all is not sweetness and light, because in order to deliver the project on time and on budget, Network Rail insisted on much of the line being single track, which limits the scope for development. Future generations may have cause to regret this decision.
At least it has been future-proofed in respect of electrification, which will help.
Having succeeded in achieving the restoration of their railway as far as the central Borders, campaigners are now pressing for onward extension, first as far as Hawick, and then all the way to Carlisle.
That would, no doubt, take many years, but if it is achieved, it will make the line useful as a through route for freight as well as passengers, in addition to serving the communities on the way.
Twenty's plenty, and local authorities imposing a 20mph limit, particularly in the vicinity of schools, is becoming more common.
Again, the Scots are ahead of us, as from later this year, excess speed in Scotland is to result in a formal warning letter, with the implication that a second offence will result in prosecution. Excess means anything over the limit, however small. We have become used to there being a generous margin beyond the limit before any action is taken, but this will no longer be the case.
 From 2009 until March this year, the East Coast main line was operated by Directly Operated Railways, the Department for Transport's own management body set up to ensure the continuance of public service if a privatised operator fails to fulfil its obligations under its franchise terms.
There was a strong campaign, especially in the North East, to retain the line as a nationalised operation rather than re-let it as it operated the franchise for six years entirely satisfactorily and returned substantial amounts of money to the Treasury.
It was a matter of regret to those campaigners that political ideology trumped operational and financial considerations.
The new Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has declared that, following the election of a Labour government, the railways would gradually be renationalised as each franchise expires.
This process would take many years and would only be achieved in its entirety if there were not another change in governmental policy at a subsequent election. That would mean that the railways would become the proverbial political football.

OUR LIVES MATTEREducating the White Moderate
Dr Cheryl Diane Parkinson

Creating a fuller, fairer picture of British history requires urgent reforms to the National Curriculum, explains Dr Cheryl Diane Parkinson
With the spread of COVID-19, the pandemic of racism has been exposed.
Many of us are watching the news, taking part in protests, signing petitions and trying to utilise this moment to change the status quo. And we are watching our white friends – those who stand by our side, those who actively oppose us, and those who remain silent.
The disappointment that Martin Luther King Jr held towards "the white moderate" is demonstrated by some people's reactions to the recent protests. Some are more devoted to 'order' than to justice and "prefer a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice".
In his Letter from a Birmingham Jail in 1963, King depicted these people as constantly saying "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action".
White people who seek to protect Churchill's statute clearly do not see him as the non-white community do, which is reminiscent of the different ways that Christopher Columbus is retrospectively viewed by white Americans and Native Americans.
History, as it is taught in the UK, reinforces unconscious bias with misinformation. This in turn emboldens racists to weaponise this false, incomplete knowledge of history against black people. It has arguably contributed heavily to political debate in recent years that have been framed around Britain's history and place in the world – not least Brexit.
Some white people challenge Black Lives Matter protestors with a self-righteous indignation that reeks of an ignorance of history.
Some use this incomplete history to state that they agree with the Black Lives Matter cause, but do not agree with its methods – such as toppling slave trader statues or re-examining the legacy of Churchill.
To reinforce their stance, they highlight the historic victories that Churchill led, without acknowledging his historic failures. The fountain of knowledge from which they draw intellectual sustenance has been poisoned from the beginning. If we are to evoke any kind of change, this fountain needs to be filled with a different liquid.
OUR LIVES MATTERAn Education inInstitutional Racism
Under Labour, diversity was introduced into the National Curriculum, particularly in the study of English literature with poems from other cultures explored. Students read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, providing a much-needed insight into racial discrimination.
Under the Conservatives, then Education Secretary Michael Gove axed such texts in a bid to make the curriculum "more rigorous", opting instead for books authored by the likes of Jane Austen. In order to generate change, we need to look at where power lies within this country and who makes these decisions.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is establishing a commission into racial inequality, whereas the Shadow Justice Secretary David Lammy is calling for action. As the latter pointed out in a BBC News interview, commissions have happened before – Johnson simply needs to act on their advice.
Nothing is going to change until the current attitude of the white moderate is dismantled – and this will only happen when unconscious bias is dispelled from Government and our society generally.
In this, the media can play a vital role. Television programmes such as Black and British: A Forgotten History with David Olusoga and books such as Akala's Natives need to be more readily available. Black representation across all aspects of media, theatre and the arts needs to increase, but fundamental to this is completely changing the way we teach history.
Campaigners are calling for black British history to be taught in schools. The Black Curriculum group has written to the Education Secretary Gavin Williamson requesting a review of the syllabus, arguing that "learning black history should not be a choice but should be mandatory". A Department for Education spokesperson replied: "Racism in all its forms is abhorrent and has no place in our society. Schools already play a significant role in teaching children about the importance of having respect and tolerance for all cultures." It is a response offering no indication that any kind of change is afoot.
Arguably, schools can decide how and what is taught at primary level and at Key Stage 3 (Years 7 and 9), but this becomes much more difficult at Key Stage Four (Years 10 and 11), when students have a strict programme of study controlled by the Government. Now is the time to adjust the National Curriculum to serve us better; whether we are black or white. It needs to look at British identity and historical representation and teach a full and true British History.
Department heads in schools, alongside senior leaders, can implement change. The texts given to students need to be more diverse and school libraries more reflective of our multicultural society.
If lost lives are wedging open the gates of change, our action needs to be bold – utilising that opportunity to its fullest. As rapper Killer Mike has said: "Now is the time to plot, plan, strategise, organise and mobilise."
