Lane Motor Museum
Home » Lane Motor Museum
Jeff Lane opened the Lane Motor Museum in October 2003 in Nashville, Tennessee to exhibit his personal collection. Passionate about cars from a young age, Jeff Lane restored his first car, a 1955 MG TF , as a teenager. The Lane Motor Museum is one of the few American museums specializing in European cars. The museum strives to keep all vehicles in working order, with some cars being fully restored, while others retain the scars of age.
The Lane Motor Museum is housed in a historic building in Nashville, the former Sunbeam bakery. With 133,000 ft², it was the largest bakery in the region at the time of its opening. Adapted for the needs of the museum, the building has retained many of its original features, high ceiling, natural light and a handcrafted brick and maple wood floor. The architectural style suits well the age of the cars depicted. The ground floor has about 40,000 ft² of open space, ideal for exhibiting the collection.
The Lane Motor Museum has a very large collection (more than 500 cars!), and exhibits about 150 according to thematic exhibitions that change every year. In 2022 and early 2023, the museum offers 5 themes:
The Fiat 500, from the "Topolino" to current models through the Nuova 500 of the 1960s and many derivatives: sporty, electric, convertible, leisure …
Lotus, with a panel ranging from the 1960s to the Evora of 2019, including the famous Super Seven
Single-seaters, from promotion formulas to Indycar and IRL single-seaters
Unique cars, prototypes of manufacturers or more confidential achievements, of which the museum has many examples
Original theme, an overview of car door opening systems: classics, front, butterflies…
The enormous collection of the Lane Motor Museum covers a large part of European manufacturers, including companies that have disappeared or have very limited productions. This typically includes Alfa Romeo, Audi (and its ancestors like DKW or NSU), Austin/Mini, BMW, Citroën, Fiat, Jaguar, Mercedes, Peugeot, Renault, Volkswagen or Volvo, but also Lancia, MG, Panhard, Saab, Tatra, Trabant or Wartburg. If it is very rich in European cars, the Lane Motor Museum also has many American and Japanese cars without forgetting an impressive collection of carts (also called microcars or midgets depending on the country of origin). On weekends, the Lane Motor Museum offers guided tours in its reserves at fixed times, the opportunity to discover in 45 minutes a real cave of Ali Baba automobile.
Next to the cars
The collections of the Lane Motor Museum extend to other modes of transport, trucks, bicycles and motorcycles, boats, planes, several amphibious machines that combine car and boat and some fire engines…

Who discovered electricity ?
Electricity is a type of energy found in nature. Because electricity happens naturally, it was not invented. So, let us investigate "Who Discovered Electricity?" Many scientists found and comprehended electricity. Benjamin Franklin is credited with developing electricity.
On a rainy day in 1752, Benjamin Franklin did an experiment using a kite and a key. He sought to show the connection between lightning and electricity. During the thunderstorm, he flew the kite connected with a key. The energy from the storm clouds travelled to the key as planned, and he received a jolt.
Who Discovered Electricity
We couldn't conceive a world without electricity today, so who deserves credit for creating this marvel? To begin with, electricity cannot be invented as a kind of energy. As for who discovered it, electricity, like other basic scientific questions, has been investigated by a lot of scientists over the years.
Some claim Ben Franklin was the first to discover electricity, but as we'll see later in this article, his famous experiment with a kite and a key demonstrated that lightning is a type of electricity. Electricity had been recognised as a physical reality thousands of years before Franklin.
A force acts on a charge when it is put in an area with a non-zero electric field. Coulomb's law determines the amount of this force. If the charge moves, the electric field will do work on the charge. Thus, we may speak about electric potential at a certain place in space, which is equal to the work done by an external agent in transferring a unit of positive charge from an arbitrarily chosen reference point to that point without accelerating it, and is commonly measured in volts.
Who invented electricity?
Natural forces like electricity have existed in the world since the beginning of time. Because the word and the phenomenon were unknown, it is referred to as an invention. It was discovered by a person through his experiments, which is why it is referred to be an invention. Static electricity, such as that used in lighting, has existed on earth from the beginning of time. William Gilbert, an English scientist, first used the term "electricity" in 1660 to describe the electrification of various objects. The Greek word amber is where the word electricity comes from. A 600 B.C. experiment shown that amber becomes charged when it is rubbed.
Many modern technology rely on electricity, which is used for:
Electric power is the use of electric current to power equipment.
Electronics is the study of electrical circuits that use active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits, as well as the passive connecting technologies that go with them.
Who Discovered Electricity?
In the 1700s, Benjamin Franklin is credited with finding electricity through his kite experiment, in which he flew a kite with a metal key attached to it during a rainstorm.
Electricity and its history are intriguing topics in science that may help your students comprehend how life has changed as a result of electricity.
Many entrepreneurs and scientists spent the next century trying to figure out how to harness electrical power to create light. Thomas Edison, an American inventor, was ultimately able to manufacture a dependable, long-lasting electric light bulb in his laboratory in 1879.
Thomas Alva Edison is widely regarded as one of the greatest innovators of all time, and he is often credited with inventing light bulbs (along with Nicolas Tesla). In 1868, he landed in Boston. He located guys in Boston who understood something about electric current, and because he worked at night and cut his sleeping hours short, he found time to learn. He purchased and read Faraday's writings. The earliest of his several innovations was an automated vote recorder, for which he got a patent in 1868. This required a journey to Washington, which he paid for with borrowed money, but he was unable to pique anyone's interest in the apparatus.
Large-scale electricity generation became feasible when Watt's steam engine and Edison's generator were combined. Inventor of the steam condensing engine James Watt was a Scot who was born in 1736. Starting in 1769, he patented improvements to steam engines during a 15-year period, and his name was given to the electric unit of power, the Watt.
However, today's thermal power plants employ steam turbines, following the Rankine cycle, which was developed by another illustrious Scottish engineer, William J.M. Rankine, in 1859. Watt's engines utilised reciprocating pistons.
Michael Faraday invented the electric dynamo (a rudimentary power generator) in 1831, which addressed the challenge of generating electric current in an ongoing and practical manner. Faraday's rudimentary innovation included moving a magnet within a coil of copper wire, resulting in a little electric current flowing through the wire. This paved the way for American Thomas Edison and British scientist Joseph Swan to design the incandescent filament light bulb in their respective nations in the year 1878. Others had created light bulbs before, but the incandescent bulb was the first practical bulb that would illuminate for hours on end.
Luigi Galvani
Italian medical scholar Luigi Galvani discovered Electricity in 1786 that a dead frog's leg would wiggle ferociously when touched by a metal knife. Galvani postulated that the frog's muscles must carry electrical messages. Alessandro Volta, an additional Italian scientist, disagreed in 1792 and realised that the two distinct metals—the steel knife and the tin plate—on which the frog was laying were the primary contributors to Galvani's conclusion. Volta demonstrated that electricity is produced when moisture is trapped between two dissimilar metals. This inspired him to create the voltaic pile, the first electric battery, which he manufactured from thin copper and zinc sheets separated by damp pasteboard.
More Discovery after Electricity
A number of innovations that are used nowadays have simplified our work for us. One of the greatest innovations for humanity, as previously said, is Thomas Alva Edison's light bulb. Although it may appear like a simple concept, without light, we wouldn't be able to carry out even the most basic tasks. With the aid of the light bulb, we can produce light and accomplish a number of activities. Below is a list of a handful of the inventions.
Michael Faraday made the discovery that running a magnet through copper wire can create an electric current. Despite the fact that we live in a highly developed society, the majority of the power we use is still generated using magnets and copper cables.
In 1873, James Clerk Maxwell created a number of equations that describe electromagnetic fields. Heinrich R. Hertz verified his theory that electromagnetic waves could exist and move at the speed of light, and Marconi applied these ideas to the development of radio in 1895.
The advancement of alternating current, or Ac, marked a turning point in electricity's development. Thomas Edison collaborated with Nikola Tesla, a scientist from Croatia who was born in the United States. One of the most widely utilised concepts today was discovered by Telsa: alternating current electrical systems with revolving magnets.
What is the Electricity's Future?
In response to the Climate Crisis, there is a strong emphasis on renewable and sustainable energy. This is why renewable energy is now the fastest-growing energy source in the United States, expanding by a stunning 67% between 2000 and 2016. Indeed, on June 10, 2020, the United Kingdom celebrated two months of running entirely on renewable energy for the first time, which is a huge stride forward in the electrical timeline.
Renewable energy sources include wind, solar, hydro, tidal, geothermal, and biomass energy. The options are limitless! When considering the electrical timeline's future,

Hi all, forgive me if this has been answered, but I couldn't find it anywhere, I'm also new to Indesign.
I'm just curious about the drop caps in Indesign, is it possible to do like the first example in my attachment without manually setting first line -10 indent and the rest of the paragraph +10 indent, and then forcing a hard linebreak to reset the indent for the rest of the text ?
The old typographer in me cringes when I see the default result Indesign gives me.

Hi, Henning. I do not think we have had a thread on this topic, and it seems like a great time to start one! I agree that the default is almost always hideous.
Defaults are rarely adequate for stuff like this, even in InDesign. For the most control, create the drop cap in its own frame and use text wrap (Wrap Around Object). Adjust the wrap to follow the contours of the character.
Then paste the cap's frame at the start of the paragraph as an inline graphic, make any necessary adjustments to the wrap and the placement. Optical Margin Alignment would be usually be useful here. You can create a style for most of this, though you will have to adjust the contouring wrap for different letters.
Finally, make the cap an Anchored Object so it travels with its paragraph even if there are line-changing edits later on.

Put a thin space after the cap, then kern the remainder of the word back over the space. I usually also put a thin space at the start of the paragraph, and drop 2 characters, which allows me to better-controle the left side of the dropped character.


KEY TECHNOLOGIES: The updated "Speed Pocket" combines with a lower, more forward CG to produce low-spinning shots and faster initial ball speeds. The "Loft- Sleeve" allows you to alter loft by +/- 1.5°.
PLAYABILITY: A consistent mid-trajectory flight with slight draw; performs well off the tee as a long, accurate driving iron; head powers through all kinds of bad lies.
ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: The larger than usual clubface provides more forgiveness than expected for a better players' hybrid; even toe and heel hits fly far and straight.
DISTANCE: One of the longest hybrids—just bombs it off the tee; consistent distances, as long or longer than any iron with the same loft; approaches from far out become scoring opportunities.
FEEL: A pleasing sense of cushioning to all shots; well-balanced, lively feel; testers can swing it aggressively with no loss of stability.
LOOK: A few testers find the head size similar to a compact fairway wood, with an elegant dark gray paint job and silver face; technology is well hidden.
Some guys get inconsistent results from tight fairway lies; a small minority prefer more head weight; a few favor hybrids that are sized more like irons.
BOTTOM LINE: One of the top-performing models. Arguably the best hybrid on tee shots—SLDR is a powerful, reliable, workable driving iron.


The people have spoken and the election is over, and as Hillary Clinton herself said on election night, in addition to her conceding by congratulating me, 'We must accept this result and then look to the future,'" Trump said in a statement, which labeled the recount "ridiculous" in a headline.
Trump said he won Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvanian by "large numbers" and noted his margin of more than 70,000 in Pennsylvania.
"This is a scam by the Green Party for an election that has already been conceded, and the results of this election should be respected instead of being challenged and abused, which is exactly what Jill Stein is doing," Trump said, referring to the Green Party's presidential nominee.


During Sunday's (Aug. 5) final heat of the Seafair Race, the Oberto Beef Jerky U-1918 hydroplane – driven by Cal Phipps – performed a spectacular flip in the north turn on Lake Washington.
Thankfully, Phipps was not injured in the flip, which happened after his boat encountered the roostertail wakes of the leading hydros as he entered the turn.
The boat suffered surprisingly minimal damage.
The Oberto hydro represents its namesake company, which is located in Kent.
The final heat was stopped, then rerun later. Andrew Tate drove the Jones Racing U-9 Les Schwab Tires boat to victory after leader Jimmy Shane was penalized.
Please leave the SeaFair aerial acrobatics to us.

https://www.smartertimes.com/211/the-reckoning
With the destruction of Joseph's Tomb, the murder of Hillel Lieberman, and the PLO-police-facilitated lynching yesterday of two Israeli soldiers, one might expect a reckoning from the most ardent enthusiasts of the Arab-Israeli "peace process" here in the American elite. Foremost among those enthusiasts are the New York Times editorialists and the newspaper's foreign affairs columnist, Thomas Friedman.
Such a reckoning took place among the American and British pro-German types and isolationists when it became clear at some point at the middle of the past century that Hitler's appetite for aggression had no bounds. And such a reckoning took place after the Cold War, when it became clear that Reagan's rollback strategy, which so many warned would lead the world to nuclear annihilation, in fact led to a vast expansion of freedom.
But today's New York Times makes it clear that no such reckoning is taking place among the advocates of the appeasement strategy toward the Arab dictators. No, rather than pressing a war to liberate the Arab peoples from their oppressors and to spread the blessings of liberty, the Times and Mr. Friedman are clinging determinedly to their now-discredited approach of relying upon and treating with the very despots who are the source of the violence.
Consider the stirring peroration to the Times' lead editorial this morning: "Mr. Barak seems prepared to do what he can to halt the bloodshed. Mr. Arafat has shown no such inclination in recent days, even though everyone knows he can break the cycle of conflict."
"Everyone knows"?
If anything has become clear over the past weeks, it is that Mr. Arafat can't break the cycle of conflict. It is not within him. He is a corrupt terrorist gangster. He is not a man of peace. Even if he were a man of peace -- a big if -- his proto-country is not set up in a way that promotes peace. It is a centralized, non-democratic kleptocracy with no rule of law. In such circumstances, the inhabitants of a country inevitably become restless and seek an outlet for their aggression.
The Times editorial suggests that "Moderate Arab leaders, concerned about the spreading violence, should press for a truce." Which "moderate" Arab leaders is the Times referring to? Is it Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, who has ruled with an iron fist since 1981? Is it Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, a monarch in a kingdom where the human rights standards that hold sway are primitive? Is it King Abdullah of Jordan, another leader who rules only by the accident of his birth and the maneuvering in the court of his cancer-stricken predecessor? The only leader with a democratic mandate in the Middle East at the moment is Ehud Barak of Israel.
Mr. Friedman also ends his column with a stirring conclusion of dubious wisdom. "Mourn the dead and pray that after this explosion of hatred is over, the parties will find a way to live apart." This is now the progressive, American Jewish left-wing, New York Times-driven, conventional solution to the Middle East conflict: separation. "Live apart." In Kosovo, this sort of thinking is called ethnic cleansing. In America, it is called segregation. In the Middle East, and among the American foreign policy elite represented in the Times, it is called a peace process. What Mr. Friedman calls Ariel Sharon's "peace-destroying provocation" was in fact an expression of what used to be called American liberalism: Sharon was quoted afterward saying "Arabs have the right to visit everywhere in the Land of Israel, and Jews have the right to visit every place in the Land of Israel." In the Friedman-Times worldview, this is defined as a "peace-destroying provocation," while the desired end result that readers should "pray " for is that "the parties will find a way to live apart."
Take Your Pick: "The Middle East was pushed to the brink of an open war," the New York Times writes today in a page-one news story. Hold on, though: "Few Arab officials or independent experts said they thought that the violence would lead to a new Arab-Israeli war. 'The Arabs are too weak to go to war,' said a senior Jordanian official," the New York Times reports today in a dispatch from Jordan that runs in the paper's international section. Take your pick of which story to believe.
Term Limits: An article in the metro section of today's New York Times reports that Mayor Giuliani would consider backing an effort to overturn the term limits on members of the New York City Council. The article goes on for 13 paragraphs and quotes three politicians, but it doesn't include a single quote or reaction from a person who is in favor of term limits. This is despite the fact that a referendum showed that a majority of the city's voters approved of term limits on the council. In contrast, a story on a pro-Israel rally in Manhattan included three paragraphs from an Arab leader that the Times apparently called to add some balance to the article. A reader who didn't know any better might get the idea that the Times included both sides on the Israel story but not on the term-limit story because it has editorial positions against Israel and against term limits. But we would never suggest that as a reason.
Christmas Parties: A story in the metro section of today's Times runs under the headline "New Questions for the First Lady on Donations." The headline could just as well be "New Questions for the Press on Christmas Parties.' The story takes Mrs. Clinton to task for using a guest list for a White House Christmas party to raise money for her campaign. This supposedly blurs the line between official business and politics. But as the Times story itself points out, the Christmas parties "are customarily paid for by the political party that controls the presidency." So they are political events to start with. What's the foul here? Well, the Times has an interest in maintaining the fiction that these are official events, because otherwise its reporters have been dining on eggnog and enjoying free pictures with the president courtesy of that same Democratic National Committee soft-money operation that the Times editorial page has been trying through its support of campaign finance "reform" to get out of politics. Among the 400 Christmas guests now purged from Mrs. Clinton's campaign direct-mail rolls, the Times reports, "were people with White House press credentials, including journalists from ABC News and The New York Times."


Varicose veins may often go unnoticed for some time. However, visually, a varicose vein will appear bluish purple. This is because the blood pooling in the vein needs to be oxygenated, which is why it is on its way back to the lungs and heart.
Once a varicose vein becomes symptomatic, patients commonly report a general heaviness and ache in the legs. This can be followed by swollen ankles and lower legs, restlessness, cramps and itching or an irritated rash on the legs or near the ankles.
Other common symptoms include tenderness to touch around the area of the varicose vein and numbness. Unsightly veins develop over the ankle and foot and the skin becomes discolored, later becoming thick and leathery. Patches of skin may break down resulting in ulceration.
Spider veins are like varicose veins, but appear much smaller and closer to the surface. They derive their name from looking like spider webs and a reddish color. Spider veins may represent the "tip of the iceberg," with more serious venous disease underneath.
Stagnation of blood flow due to immobility. This is common among bedridden patients (such as heart patients and those who have undergone any type of major or orthopedic surgery, especially of the hip or knee) and healthy persons who sit or lie still for an extended period –for example, on a long trip.
Blood vessel injury, caused by trauma, intravenous catheters or needles, chemotherapeutic agents, or infectious organisms.
Conditions that increase the tendency for blood to coagulate, such as a familial deficiency in anti-clotting factors or disorders like systemic lupus erythematosus.
Follow prevention tips as recommended by your doctor. These can include walking, controlling weight, wearing low-heeled shoes and avoiding long periods of sitting or standing in one position. Be sure to stand up and walk around often on long trips in airplanes or automobiles. Following a heart attack or major surgery, low doses of an anticoagulant (such as heparin or warfarin) may be recommended. Getting up and walking around again as soon as possible following either of those events is also advised.


If you just took a second to look around you, take it all in, you realized that New Orleans was one heartbeat, one song, one love on Mardi Gras day. It was something I had sorely missed after 3 years not participating in the revelry. Yes, I had put together some great marching bands for Chewbacchus and Krewe Du Vieux but that was more like creative WORK rather than creative PLAY. And I was due for some play.
Being able to create a costume with my family meant the world to me, as this was our daughter Vega's 1st Mardi Gras day (definitely not her 1st parade...she's a pro). My wife and her dressed as slick Owl's and I the moss laden tree. At the last minute I abandoned the costume for the easy of use carrying the "dad bag" full of baby needs and wants, and my camera. In year's past partying took precedent over bringing out my good working cameras, but today was different and it had to be documented.

Last week, Elon Musk unveiled his plan to colonize Mars within the next 50 to 100 years.
His ultimate goal: to make life multiplanetary. At some point in the future, all human life on Earth will be destroyed by some catastrophic event, such as global warming in hundreds of years or a large asteroid hitting Earth in hundreds of millions of years. The only way the human species will survive this catastrophe is if our species is multiplanetary.
Musk is so driven in this goal that his main stated reason for personally accumulating wealth (currently $11.8B) is to fund projects which expedite humanity becoming multiplanetary.
In order for a colony on Mars to hedge humanity against extinction, such a colony needs to be self-sufficient. Musk believes a city of around a million residents would be necessary for this. With each spaceship carrying 100 passengers to Mars, 10,000 trips would be sufficient.
Trips between Earth and Mars would naturally take place when the two planets are at their closest: about every two years given the 687-day Mars year. While thousands of ships could travel between the planets at such times, scaling up to such a large fleet of ships would take a while. Musk speculated that in a best case scenario, we could start sending people to Mars in ten years, and that the 10,000 trips might then take an additional 40 to 100 years as the ever-expanding fleet traveled to Mars 20 to 50 times.
An extension of traditional spaceflight technologies would imply a cost of at least $10B per person for a trip to Mars – making the cost of sending 1M people prohibitive at around 40 times the entire combined wealth of the world.
A 50,000 times reduction in this cost would bring the total cost to a third of the yearly US military budget, or just $200,000 per person. Musk proposed reaching this cost reduction by having full reusability of each component of the transport system, refueling spaceships in orbit, producing propellant on Mars for the return flights, and reasonable choice of propellant.
Musk has a plan for accomplishing these criteria. After liftoff and once the spaceship has separated from its booster, the booster heads back to Earth where it lands on the launch mount. A propellant tanker is then loaded onto this booster, and delivered to space in a similar manner. After refueling the spaceship, the tanker likewise returns to Earth and can be reused. The ship heads to Mars in a fleet once Mars and Earth are at their closest, with a trip time as low as 80 days. Propulsive landing is used on Mars. Methane and oxygen are used as fuel for many advantages over other alternatives, including low cost of production and ability to be produced on Mars. Propellant produced on Mars allows the ship to return to Earth.
Musk believes the hardest part of building the spaceship will be creating the liquid oxygen tank. The tank would first off be required to hold the propellant at a quite cold level. Additionally, this tank would form the airframe of the ship, requiring it to withstand the loads of assent and reentry. Furthermore, the tank must be nonreactive and impermeable to the oxygen. Musk's company SpaceX has already started working on this part of the spaceship.
When asked about how humans would live on Mars, Musk said the goal of SpaceX is to build the transport system to get there. He likened this goal to building the Union Pacific Railroad, which facilitated expansion of cities on the West Coast. Once people are able to travel to Mars, he believes these voyagers will begin developing the foundations for human civilization on the planet.
Towards the end of his talk, Musk said that SpaceX plans to start sending cargo carrying spaceships to the surface of Mars every time Mars is close to Earth, starting in 2018. Looking further to the future, Musk ruminated about the prospect of placing propellant plants on objects beyond Mars, such as in the asteroid belt or on a moon of Jupiter or Saturn. He stated that his proposed system of rocket booster, spaceship, and tanker, all of which utilize propulsive landing, in addition to the ability to build propellant plants on various planets and moons, would allow for going anywhere in the solar system by planet hopping or moon hopping.

For 2016, new leathers and new colours expand the line-up that was one of the best newcomers of 2015.
Hermes debuted the Slim d'Hermes collection in 2015 with specially designed numerals distinguishing the dial and an ultra-thin manufacture movement driving things.
The range included a time-teller and a Perpetual Calendar measuring 39.5 mm in diameter,and 32 mm and 25 mm ladies' models.
Slim 39 for him in graphite.
New for men are dials in slate grey with a matching elephant grey alligator strap or midnight blue on a matt indigo strap, the straps crafted in Hermes' own famed leather workshops. The cases are steel.
Power comes from a H1950 ultra-thin movement with a power reserve of 42 hours and it can be admired through a transparent sapphire crystal caseback. It's notable for a technically complex micro-rotor and finishes including hand-chamfered bridges.
Hermes Slim 39 for her with elephant grey strap.
Slim 39 blackcurrant for her with diamonds.
Slim 39 in geranium with diamonds.
Ladies are now also treated to a 39.5 mm steel-cased version with an ultra-thin movement and alligator straps in vibrant colours – sapphire blue, elephant grey, geranium, cassis or simply black – while jewelled versions carrying 66 white diamonds on the bezel are also on offer.


Filled sandbags are commonly used as weight to hold down temporary barricades, road and traffic signs. Sandbags offers various filled bags to meet you ballast needs.
We understand that a broken bag is often the worst part of using sandbags, our polypropylene bags are designed to be inert to biodegradation and resistant to most naturally encountered chemicals. These durable bags do not hold moisture so all the dry material stays loose inside.
Traditional bags will break down after just a few months of being exposed to the elements our polypro bags will last through years of exposure. By sewing them at both ends we improve the durability and ease of use all at the guaranteed lowest price anywhere!
Filled with Sand or Gravel and delivered or filled on-site.
Our bags are high quality and custom made. By sewing our bags at both ends they make for easier transportation and stacking, no more sausage-shaped bags. Our patented automatic filling process ensures a consistent bag every time.
Thanks guys! I was doubtful that anyone could produce the number of bags we needed in such a short time. Your professional crew came out and actually finished the job early!


On the 3rd April 2018 the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 came into force. The act, a reaction to the rise in homelessness over the past ten years, has a strong emphasis on prevention, with local housing authorities now having a statutory obligation to take action to assist in situations where homelessness is a threat at a much earlier stage than was previously required.
In a previous blog we discussed the reasoning behind the introduction of the Homelessness Reduction Act. In this article, with the act now in force, we look at the effect that it has in more detail.
In these cases the local housing authority would find longer term housing for that person/s.
The issue with this approach was that the local housing authorities were waiting until crisis point to assist those in need which placed pressure on all parties. Further, it meant that single homeless people, not considered in priority need, were afforded limited assistance.
The local housing authority must take reasonable steps to help an eligible applicant who is threatened with homelessness in the next 56 days to secure that they have accommodation available.
The local housing authority have a duty to take reasonable steps to help all eligible applicants that are homeless to secure suitable accommodation.
The local housing have a duty to rehouse an applicant who is homeless, eligible for assistance, and has a priority need, and where they are satisfied that the applicant is not intentionally homeless.
(ii) offer of social housing.
The new act has some promising elements. Crucially "all eligible applicants" as discussed above is based on immigration status, NOT on priority need and intentionality, effectively widening the criteria of those who may receive local authority assistance. Those groups who were previous ineligible for help, for example rough sleepers and single people, will now have the opportunity to have their housing needs assessed and have a personalised housing plan. This does not guarantee those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless accommodation but does provide them with assistance with their situation.
The increase of time in which eligible applicants may seek assistance, from 21 days to 56 days under the new act is also a positive step and you would hope that it should improve the local housing authorities' ability to plan a proactive, rather than a reactive strategy to those threatened with homelessness.
Although it is too soon at this stage to see what impact the act will have on homelessness, it should be seen as a positive step towards reducing the current increasing numbers of those that find themselves homeless.

TheCashlorette.com founder Sarah Berger on a new survey revealing Millennials are the most likely to share their salary information with others.
Sharing your salary with your colleagues is no longer taboo, according to a new report.
In fact, 33% of older millennials, ages 27-36, say they share their salary with their colleagues, according to a survey released by personal finance website, TheCashlorette.com. That is far more than any other age group and four times more than baby boomers, ages 54-71, at 8%.
"When it comes to money, millennials differ from older generations in many different ways. Generally, they're more transparent and don't really consider money talk as taboo. They're more comfortable bringing it up in conversation, and traditional money rules no longer apply. I think that this is great: The more you talk about money, the more you learn," Sarah Berger, founder of TheCashlorette.com, told FOX Business.
High earners, in particular, are more likely to tell their spouse/significant other, family or friends what they make, while workers earning less than $30,000 are most likely to discuss—or vent—their salaries with coworkers.
In general, Americans are sharing more, just not at the same level as millennials. Overall, 64% of Americans tell their spouse or significant other, 51% share with their immediate family, 36% tell friends and 20% swap with their coworkers.
Priscilla Claman, president of Career Strategies, Inc., said in the past, new hires and people who were promoted were explicitly told not to share salary information.
"It was considered confidential," Claman said.
But websites like Glassdoor changed the narrative, revealing all kinds of details surrounding salaries.
"So, what used to seem confidential doesn't seem confidential any more. Why bother when you can look it up or ask about salaries on the internet? My guess is that after they have been in the workforce for ten or fifteen years and their salaries have started to differentiate due to promotions or changes in employers, even the millennial will be a little more circumspect about what they earn," Claman added.
Tracey Jones, career expert and author of "A Message to Millennials," said that she thinks the shift towards divulging your salary to coworkers is a good thing as long as the person's intentions are good.
"Whether it is a good or bad idea to share your salary depends on your motive; is it to gain clarity or just out of curiosity? There's a tremendous difference between transparency and too much information," Jones told FOX Business.
She said if a person has a reason to question whether their salary is in line with others in the position—share it. But someone should not share their salary if the intent is to compete.
"Teddy Roosevelt said, 'Comparison is the thief of joy.' If someone doesn't have a need to know your salary, I would not freely share it. Anything that has the potential to promote animosity or jealousy in the workplace should not be floated out there," she said.
Jeff Black, executive coach and president of Black Sheep, Inc., said while he understands that millennials like to live in a world built around transparency, he still thinks there is a mystique to keeping your salary confidential.
"I challenge millennials to ask themselves, what value does it bring to disclose your salary to a co-worker? If there's real value, OK. If not, are you creating unnecessary drama? Should you choose to reveal your salary amount, I suggest you give a mid-range. Don't say: I make $36,000 annually. Instead say: I make in the mid to high $30s," Black said.
Berger added that for young adults, sharing their salary with a parent is a good way to get actionable advice on a lot of "nitty-gritty financial tasks," like how much they should be saving for retirement, tips on creating a budget, filing for taxes and investing. Sharing with friends also has its benefits.
"You can get honest feedback, opinions or even vent about how pinched you feel between paychecks. Confiding in co-workers can also be beneficial if you suspect you're getting underpaid, or if you think your workplace might be compensating men differently than women," she said.

Peonie called "the rose of the Madonie"
You will only need to carry a day pack as our support vans will transport the luggage on a daily basis. An added benefit from having transport accompanying us daily is that you can opt out if you so wish at any time. Some of the walking is strenuous at times and you should expect some uneven walking surfaces and some quite steep ascents and descents. However, all the walks can be done by anyone who is reasonably fit even if they have little experience of mountain walking.
in the valley behind Gangi. After dropping our luggage at the We drive into Gangi where we will visit the 'centro storico' with its Baroque townhouses and interesting churches, typical of the Madonie 'Baroque' style.
Our first day's walk is a fairly gentle start to the week. We begin with a short drive to Gangi Vecchio. The walk then starts with a gently uphill start before reaching a ridge. For the next couple of hours we contour along the ridge with a few gentle ups and downs. Then at last Sperlinga comes into view and we drop down into the valley below. There're also some beautiful views over to Mt Etna in the distance.
Lunch is in the small village of Sperlina. Then after lunch there is an opportunity to visit the troglodyte dwellings and Saracen castle hewn out of the prominent butress of rock.
We begin our second day's walk with a short drive to the nearby town of Petralia. From there we countour around the Pizzo Catarineci to the village of Geraci Siculo for lunch.
the Aeolian islands (on a clear day).
the traditional organic cuisine based on local produce.
There is quite a strenuous climb at the start of the day, but then some level contouring to bring you to the spectacular Vallone degli Angeli. The Vallone Madonna degli Angeli is notable for being the only place in the world where the fir tree Abies Nedrodensis can be found growing.
We commence walking from the hotel (altitude 1346m), through woodland with 600 to 800 year old maple and oak trees.
walk takes us to a forest with giant 1,000 year old holly trees, situated near a traditional thatched shepherd's hut.
We return the walk we ascended. Lunch and dinner included.
This morning we being with a short drive (15mins) to Piano Battaglia and the start of the walk. From this elevation (1572m) the ascent of Pizzo Carbonara (1979m), the highest mountain in the Madonie is not too strenous, but the views it affords are fantastic.
After descending to Piano Battaglia and lunch, we being the descent through woodland to Piano Zucchi (2 hours). At Piano Zucchi we are one again met by our transport and we transfer to Castelbuono.
On our final day of walking, we begin with a transfer back to the village of Isnello (almost to the point we finished at the previous day), to begin the ascent towards Gratteri. Over the col, we have a short drop down to lunch.
After lunch we transfer to Cefalu to our hotel. In the afternoon, there is a chance to visit to Cefalù, the famous Arab/Norman town with its majestic cathedral, important museum, shops, and beautiful sandy beaches.

They do not call DJ Kay Slay "the drama king" for nothing. Since the late 1970s, the Harlem, New York graffiti writer-turned-DJ-turned-record executive seemingly lives for the spirit of competition. Now a Shade 45 radio mainstay, Kay Slay is one of the few talents who was making mixtapes 15 years ago, and never stopped.
The Rap Attack takes its name from the famed 1980s Mr. Magic Hip-Hop compilations. Just as those works challenged the weakness in Rap with bold, belligerent, and beautifully formulated records, Slay's 2016 tape aims to do the same. From the intro, the longtime conduit for new Hip-Hop talent makes it clear that he only wanted top-notch rhymers on his tape. Veterans such as Redman, Royce 5'9″, Bun B, Raekwon, and Sheek Louch are among the A-class of talent. Heads also get lots of opportunity to hear some of the raw talent that excites the Straight Stuntin' magazine founder.
Chris Rivers, Mistah F.A.B., Joell Ortiz, Saigon, Hell Rell, Termanology, Young Buck, Trae Tha Truth, Maino, Trick Trick, Jon Connor, Papoose, Young Chris, and Tha Outlawz are just some of the other vast talent that puts in work on this 18-track tape.

In London, people who live in more than one apartment cannot meet each other inside
This also applies to non-cohabiting family members.
According to the MTI report, the measure will see a high degree of preparedness from Saturday in the British capital, the largest and most populous city in Western Europe, with a population of 9 million. In the new three-stage preparedness system introduced in England this week, the intermediate level is the lowest, followed by the high score and then the very high score, with increasingly stringent restrictions. Liverpool and the wider area in the northwest of England already have very high standards.
The high standards of readiness required in London from Saturday include that people who live in more than one home may not hold gatherings indoors, including in each other's homes and restaurants. This also applies to non-cohabiting family members who are unable to visit their separated relatives in their homes from Saturday. Up to six people, not under one roof, can stay in each other's company at the same time, but restaurants must close at 10pm.
Sadiq KhanIn a statement on Thursday, the Labor Mayor of London endorsed the Conservative government's action, saying that coronavirus infection "is spreading rapidly in every corner of the city" and amounts to hundreds of infections per 100,000 people in many areas. Khan had already indicated a few days ago that it was possible to reclassify London to an above average readiness level this week.
At Thursday's city council session, the mayor said no one wanted more restrictions, but there was simply no other option. According to Sadiq Khan, a very short-term but very limited package of measures will also be needed across the country to break the accelerating dynamics of the pandemic.

Coronavirus – more news on this topic
Matt Hancock In a report this afternoon to the House of Commons on Thursday afternoon, the Minister of Health said that after the exponential curve across the United Kingdom, the rate of spread of the new Coronavirus infection is accelerating, and in London, the number of newly diagnosed infections will double every ten days. According to Hancock, there is currently an average of 97 infected people per 100,000 people in London, but that rate is also rising rapidly.
However, referring to the Mayor of London's call for nationwide austerity measures, the minister reiterated that local control was at the core of the government's strategy to curb the pandemic, especially given the uneven distribution of the infection across the country.
The Labor Party, the largest parliamentary opposition force, is demanding that the government continue to limit the spread of the coronavirus epidemic through protection measures nationwide. Boris Johnson However, the Conservative Prime Minister stated in several statements that the three-tier regional emergency system developed by the government was the appropriate way to control the pandemic.
Johnson has said repeatedly, most recently on the day of the House of Commons debate on Wednesday, that reinstating a full, indefinite, and nationwide lockdown similar to March would have dire consequences.
The British economy suffered badly from the lockdown ordered at the end of March, as Britain's GDP fell 19.8 per cent in the second quarter of this year, at an unprecedented pace since the start of the quarterly measurements 65 years ago.

Hi! My name is Brian Riordan, and I love water polo! I live in Chicago, Illinois. I've just completed my freshman year at Loyola Academy. It was fun. I had never played polo before this year, so I was very nervous when tryouts came. I fell in love with the game immediately. My family and friends asked why I liked it if it was so hard. Sure there was a lot of work, but it was worth it. I was picked to be a starter in the first game! We started out the season very well. But, nobody is perfect. We lost some in the games in the season, including the games in the CCL championships. Later, we finished third at the New Trier Tournement. Not bad. Our varsity squad placed fifth a state, too. Now, for the summer, I'm playing for the Chicago Apostles Polo Team. We're planning to attend the Junior Olympics in July.

After an initial spike higher, both corn and soybeans finished the overnight session lower. Corn was down 1-2 cents with little bullish news. Beans ended 3-5 cents lower after the weak close yesterday. One bearish item for corn is that there are no serious issues with South American production. The Brazilian safrinha crop is mostly planted and looking good. For soybeans, there is speculation that the USDA may reduce U.S. soybean export estimates due to higher production in South America. That being said the trade is anticipating a neutral WASDE report on Thursday, so any surprises would certainly have an impact on prices.

Buddha Jayanti, also known as Buddha Purnima, celebrates the birthday of Lord Buddha. Buddha Purnima falls on the full moon day in the Hindu month of Vaisakh (April/May). Lord Buddha was born on the Full Moon day in the month of Vaisakh in 563 BC. Here, it is interesting to note that Buddha achieved enlightenment and nirvana (salvation) on the same day (the Full Moon day). Thus, Buddha Purnima also marks the death anniversary of Gautam Buddha. Sarnath holds an important place in Buddhism as Gautam Buddha gave his first sermon at Sarnath. On the occasion of Buddha Jayanti, a large fair is held at Sarnath and the relics of the Buddha are taken out for public display in a procession.
According to Buddhist legend, his wife Yashodhara, his first disciple Ananda, his charioteer Channa, and the horse Kantaka on which he renounced his kingdom to 'find some answers to life', were all born on this sacred day. Even, the tree, called Bodhi tree, under which he attained nirvana was also believed to have been created on this day. And it was on this day Buddha chose to preach his first sermon at Varanasi, or, Benaras, in India.
Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated every year by the people in India to commemorate the birth of Hindu Lord, Hanuman. It is celebrated annually in the Hindi month of Chaitra (Chaitra Pournima) of the Shukla Paksha. People worship Lord Hanuman as a symbol of devotion, magical powers, strength and energy. People read Hanuman Chalisa as it has ability to conquer the evil spirits and provide peace to the mind. The devotees of Lord Hanuman visit Hanuman temples at this day after a holy in the early morning, apply red tilak (vermillion) to the foreheads of Hanuman idol, read Hanuman Chalisa, offer Prasad of laddoo, do Aarti by chanting mantras and Aarti songs, make round of the temple and so many rituals. As Lord Hanuman was born to the Vanara community having reddish orange color body, that's why it is seen to all the Hanuman temples having reddish orange colored Hanuman idol. After puja, people apply red Sindur to their own foreheads as a Prasad and distribute laddoo Prasad among people to get blessed with what they have prayed to their God Hanuman.
Ram Navami is a famous Hindu festival, which celebrates the birth of Lord Rama, the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. It falls on the ninth day of the shukla paksha, or bright phase of the moon, in the lunar month of Chaitra (April-May). Rama is amongst the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu and also one of the two most popular avatars, along with Lord Krishna. Lord Rama is considered to be the epitome of perfection, the 'Maryadapurushottam', fulfilling all his duties towards both family and subjects.
The story of Rama was first written by Vaalmeeki in about the 4th century B.C. Rama is supposed to have lived during the 8th or 7th century B.C. the epic known as the Ramayana. In some parts of India, it is a nine-day festival, coinciding with the Vasanta Navaratri (see also Navaratri).
Rama was the first of the four sons of King Dasharatha of Ayodhya. When it was time for Rama to be made crown-prince, his stepmother, Kaikeyi, got Dasharatha to send him to the forest for 14 years. His wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana also accompanied him. In the forest, Sita was kidnapped by Ravana, the demon king of Lanka. Rama, together with Hanuman and the monkey army, built a bridge to Lanka, killed Ravana, and brought Sita back.
Shriram's Name was prevalent even before His birth. After His victory at Lanka, that is, upon demonstrating His Godhood, everyone started addressing Him as Srirama (Shriram).
Shriram is an example of the ideal son, brother, husband, king, friend and enemy.
Shriram observed all decorum prescribed by Dharma; that is why He is referred to as 'Maryadapurushottam'. Also, honouring one's word (Ekvachani) and needing just one arrow or shot to find the mark (Ekbani) and having only one wife (Ekpatni), when the norm was for Kings of that era to have many wives, are His well-known attributes.
It is considered auspicious to undertake a fast on the day in the name of Rama. The objective of the fast is not to ask for special favor of the deity but to seek perfection as a human being. Devotees perform elaborate pujas and chant the name of Rama. Temples of Rama have special services and bhajan sessions through the day.
One significant and popular element of the celebration is the Ramayana parayana, a discourse on the Ramayana, by a pundit or a professional story-teller. It usually lasts nine days, beginning on Ugadi and ending on Rama Navami. A skilled story-teller who can liven up the event by weaving in contemporary events attracts massive crowds.
Since Rama is also one of the most sung-about deities in Indian classical music and literature, week-long (and sometimes, month-long) musical programmes are organised.
Sacred places associated with Rama, like Ayodhya, Ujjain and Rameshwaram, draw tens of thousands of devotees. In Rameshwaram, thousands take a ritual bath in the sea before worshipping at the Ramanathaswamy temple.
Durga is worshipped in different forms. She is a form of "Shakti". The evolution of MahaSaraswati, MahaLaxmi and Mahakali (the 3 main forms of "Shakti") took place from Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh respectively. Each of these 3 deities gave rise to 3 more forms and hence in all, these 9 forms together are known as Nav-Durga.
Chaitra Shukla Pratipada is the first day in the month of Chaitra, Hindi Lunar Calendar. It is the beginning of the New Year of Vikram Samvat our Vedic Hindu Calendar. This calendar is based on the movement of moon and is widely followed by a large number of priests and astrologers in India. The famous Vikram Samvat is based on the day when Vikramaditya defeated Sakas and invaded Ujjain. He called for a new era. Under his supervision astronomers formed new calendar based on luni-solar system that was very much near to accuracy, was released that is still followed in the Northern regions of India.
Vikram Samvat begins on Chaitra shukla pratipada also known as chaitra Navratri, the beginning of new year. Festivals like Navratri, Gudi padwa and Ugadi are also celebrated on this day.

Burglaries down thanks to clampdown on gangs
Published on Tuesday, December 20th, 2016 at 12:00 pm
Pleased: Superintendent Chris Delaney.
Justine Dwyer
A major clampdown on criminal gangs committing burglaries throughout Waterford city and county has proved extremely successful, claimed Garda Superintendent Chris Delaney.
Speaking at the Joint Policing Committee held in Dungarvan last Wednesday, Superintendent Delaney said the number of burglaries being committed had been reduced by 36 per cent in 2016.
"This has taken a lot of work," he said. "We have had multiple operations ongoing and they have helped us identify various groups. But unfortunately there are still people determined to carry out burglaries especially this time of year."
Superintendent Delaney said that Operation Thor was the Gardaí's biggest operation recently which saw 10 searches being carried out resulting in eight arrests.
"That involved a lot of manpower and effort. These kind of results don't happen by chance. We are determined to keep at this."
He went on to say that much of the success was due to members of the public coming forward with information regarding suspicious activity. "That kind of information is invaluable to us. It helps us prosecute people in a much more stream-lined manner."
However whilst burglaries were down, the number of assaults being committed in 2016 have increased. "A lot of these are drink related and it is a worrying trend. As is the increase of possession of offensive weapons such as knives and screwdrivers etc."
There were 66 cases of possession of an offensive weapon in 2016 in comparison to 45 in 2015. "The main problem is more serious incidents will arise from this sort of crime. People don't seem to have gotten the message. This type of crime is rising and going in the wrong direction."
Meanwhile 2016 has also seen an increase in drink driving offences. Cllr Joe Kelly (Ind) maintained that the national and local drink driving campaigns appeared to be failing and he asked was Waterford in line with everyone else.
"There has been 181 offences so far this year and we're probably looking at another 20 or 30 by the time Christmas is over."
Superintendent Delaney replied that the Gardaí were victims of their own success with regards to drink driving. "The offences are being detected because Gardaí are out there and there are a greater number of patrols. You would hope that there was an increased awareness, but you're right. People don't seem to be getting the message."
Superintendent John Mulligan added that Waterford was in line with national figures. "We are not any different to anywhere else."

Reports: Father of Penn State quarterback Tommy Stevens says he won't return to Nittany Lions
Stevens, the anticipated successor to Trace McSorley, has been hampered by a foot injury that required surgery in December and sidelined him from spring football. His father had wanted an early decision from James Franklin on naming a starter so Stevens could examine his options.

Fifth-year Penn State quarterback Tommy Stevens, who put his name in the NCAA transfer portal on Wednesday, will not be returning to the Nittany Lions, according to his father.
Stevens was sidelined during the spring practice period that ended with last Saturday's Blue-White Game as he continued to recover from foot surgery last December. Head coach James Franklin said after the game that that search for a successor to Trace McSorley was "going to need to be more of a true competition" in preseason camp.
However, the quarterback's father, Tom Stevens, had expressed a desire to know who the Penn State starter would be before then so his son could examine his options in case he did not win the job.
On Thursday, Stevens said his son would not be returning in interviews with The Athletic and the Centre Daily Times.
"We wanted it to work so bad," he told The Athletic. "After being as invested as Tommy was for four-plus years, it gets to the point where either you have to make that jump or it's going to be too late to make that jump. We just didn't want it to get to the point where it was too late for Tommy to have any other options.
"At the end of the day, Tommy wants to play in the NFL, and every day is an audition for him."
In the transfer portal, Stevens did have the option to return to the Nittany Lions.
At the start of 2018 spring practice, Stevens decided to remain at Penn State instead of transferring, a decision that would have allowed him to use his final two years of eligibility elsewhere without sitting out since he was graduating in May of that year.
Later that spring, the Indianapolis native suffered a foot injury that hampered him the entire 2018 season, limiting him to seven games. He underwent surgery on the foot last December and did not travel to the Citrus Bowl.
During the spring period that just ended, he worked on "the mental aspect" of quarterback and did skeleton drills, offensive coordinator Ricky Rahne said.
With Stevens' departure, the lead candidate to succeed McSorley is Sean Clifford, who will be a redshirt sophomore in the fall. Clifford took most of the snaps during spring practice and completed 11 of 19 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown in the Blue-White Game.
Clifford will be pushed by Will Levis, a redshirt freshman in the fall. The Lions brought in two freshmen quarterbacks, Michael Johnson Jr., and Ta'Quan Roberson, both of whom enrolled in January and took part in spring ball.

Capital punishment is a legal penalty in Jamaica. Currently, the only crime punishable by death is aggravated murder. The method of execution is hanging. Jamaica was originally a British colony. The last person executed in Jamaica was Nathan Foster, who was convicted of murder and hanged in 1988. The Jamaican Parliament had placed a moratorium on the death penalty until 2009, when it was lifted. Since 2009, capital punishment is legal and executions in Jamaica could resume; however, there have been no executions since.
In 1999, a series of hangings - by some accounts, amounting to 50 - were scheduled by the Jamaican government, following the recent hangings (the first in 20 years) in Trinidad and Tobago. Ultimately, after international protests, they executions were not carried out.[1]
It was estimated in 2012 that there were seven or eight inmates in Jamaica currently under a sentence of death.[2] However, by 2018 this had been reduced to zero, with no executions having taken place.[3]
