Only 11% of Western Sydney people are using the present Sydney Airport according to figures in the 2006 Sydney Airport Ground Transport Plan.
No Aircraft Noise analysis is on the attachment below and shows how eastern and northern Sydney create the greatest air travel demand.
Western Sydney demand will grow, but without a fast rail connection to the rest of Sydney it will take decades to make a viable airport at Badgerys.
The business supporters of Badgerys are demanding a railway, not the M12 motorway which is also planned for the airport. They know the railway is much faster, takes more people and makes better connections in a big city.
At Mascot, the current Sydney Airport already has frequent delays to peak hour flights. In 2020, in just five years time, all peak hour slots at Mascot will be taken from 6am to midday and from 4pm to 7pm limiting the times when noise sharing can be used.
But Badgerys Creek airport will not be used for peak hour flights without a railway line. This is because peak hour passengers want a speedy, cost effective connection, otherwise they would take a cheaper flight in off peak times.
There will be increasing noise in the suburbs affected by Sydney Airport unless flights are diverted to the new airport.
NAN wants a new airport to serve all of Sydney's air traffic needs at a near city location that does not blast residents with noise.
Attachment: Analysis on Sydney passengers by flight origin and destination.
Where will the Western Sydney Airport's passengers come from?
Today, only 11 % of passengers start or terminate their trip from Western Sydney (see Figure 1 below). The Western Sydney Airport EIS states that growth in Western Sydney will be the key driver of passenger demand and hence, no fast, mass transport to the greater Sydney region has been included in the first stage 1 of Western Sydney Airport.
Today, the vast majority of Sydney's aviation passengers originate or terminate their trips in Sydney CBD and the Northern Suburbs. Demographic changes of the magnitude relied upon to provide sufficient Western Sydney passenger demand to justify the airport will take decades to be achieved. Therefore, the Western Sydney Airport as currently planned will not be economically viable in 2030.


Let us start this week with the ongoing political drama – nay, tragicomedy – in Imo state. We have seen great attacks and dribbles that have got our sense of humour tickled. And we have seen fantastic defences that keep us wondering and wandering. What is it about Nigerian politics that makes it inherently do or die? And why are our politicians not afraid to unveil their desperation?
The state governor, Rochas Okorocha, a man never too far from controversial headlines, has for long endorsed his son-in-law and the state's Chief of Staff, Uche Nwosu, as his successor. Through a release of the government's Chief Press Secretary, he recently reiterated this agenda, in reaction to claims that he has retracted his steps. Not only that, the governor has also recommended his deputy, Prince Eze Madumere, to represent the people of Imo East at the Senate while he would do the same for the Imolites of the Imo West Senatorial Zone.
He has even said his endorsement enjoys a greater endorsement from none less than God Himself. But, the fact that he holds the highest office in the state and is the deputy's direct boss has not stopped conflict from ensuing between the two state officers in question. In a recent interview, Chief Uche Nwosu, has embraced this blessing, while noting that his personal relationship with the governor has nothing to do with his ambition and merits. He also said any opposition to his gubernatorial bid is baseless.
But Prince Mademere will not back down so easily. Being merely a deputy cannot be enough, when the full cake is up for the taking. He has vowed "nobody born of a woman could stop his ambition, saying that God remained the ultimate decider of anyone's future." Both say they are qualified, and certainly both are entitled to run for the office. But what is worrisome is how they are going about their ambitions, and how it is appearing more and more like a battle for personal elevation than for the good of the people of Imo state.
Moving on quickly, on the national level we have the mysterious cancellation of the President's trip to Rwanda for a meeting of AU Heads of State and Government. The first set of his advance team had already landed in Kigali, the host country's capital, but the second set of personnel were abruptly asked to return to their homes and places of work after they arrived at the airport. More disconcerting is the silence that has trailed this event from the President's media team. It is probably too early for assumptions, but with Mr President's medical history, it is hoped that this is not indicative of another health breakdown.
Though this has happened a little above a week ago, let us not easily forget the not-so-shocking revelations from Senator Shehu Sani about the lawmakers' monthly jumbo pay. According to him, each Senator rakes in N13.5 million monthly as running cost, which does not include N700,000 monthly consolidated salary among other allowances. He further revealed that the annual N200 million worth of constituency projects are often fraught with fraud.
This has been confirmed by the Senate, and leaves us pondering how much Nigeria has lost to this institution since its reintroduction in 1999, compared to what she has gained in return. Shall we stop with the advice of the rebel-Senator and advocate for the abolition of the running costs and constituency allowances? Or shall we take it a step further by giving a red card to the Red Chambers itself, like our brethren in Senegal? Or, yet again, shall we just forget this was ever said and move on with our lives, hoping our government officials will turn a new leaf?
Well finally, let us talk about weddings. There have a lot of high-profile marriage ceremonies taking place of recent, from that of the Ajimobi's and Ganduje's to that of the Dangote's and the Abubakar's. What is common to these ceremonies is their endogamous nature. We find that generally the rich wed the rich and, yes, the poor have none else to woo but the fellow poor. But that is not where we are headed.
What really caught our fancy was the low-profile (well, relatively), 'private' wedding, yesterday, between Damilola Osinbajo and Oluseun Bakare. It is not really about what went on at the event, much of which is not public anyway, but the mindset that went into it organisation. Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, having concern for the "mood of the nation", had warded off pressure to do a "grand wending", and instead insisted on a low-key ceremony.
An insider had said, "Left to the VP and his wife, it would have been the smallest and simplest of ceremonies, taking place in their backyard, especially given the current mood the nation." Now this is leadership, accommodating of the sensibilities of the common man and not acting as though the world revolves around it. It is expected that others learn from such attitude – others, especially the number one man.

Rebecca Buhay, "Becky," political activist, educator (b at London, Eng 11 Feb 1896; d at Toronto 16 Dec 1953). She immigrated to Canada in 1912 and became active in Montréal socialist causes during WWI. After studying at the radical Rand School of Social Sciences, New York, she became an organizer in Montréal garment unions. She joined the Workers (Communist) Party of Canada, likely in 1921.
In the 1920s and 1930s she toured and lectured, teaching at party schools in western and central Canada; in the early 1920s in Alberta, she helped organize the striking coal miners' wives in the Women's Labour Leagues. With her friend Annie Buller, she was active in the free speech fights in Toronto in 1929-31 and she succeeded Florence Custance as secretary of the Canadian Labor Defence League and head of the Women's Department in 1929. She wrote and spoke about women's role in the struggle for socialism and headed a Canadian women's delegation to the USSR in the early 1930s.
During WWII she worked to free interned communists. After the war she resumed her educational work for the Party. She was revered among colleagues for her ability to communicate radical ideas, her loyalty and dedication to the communist movement.

COVID-19: ILO is joining UN SRSG on Violence against Children to call for action
Following the Secretary General's policy brief, the UN Inter-Agency Working Group on Violence against Children has issued an Agenda for Action.
Statement | 27 April 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the vulnerability of those children already at risk as growing economic vulnerability will increase the threat of child labour, child marriage, child trafficking, sexual exploitation and recruitment into criminal groups, and armed groups and forces.
We, the UN Inter-Agency Working Group on Violence against Children, strongly support the appeal by United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on protecting the rights of children and safeguarding their well-being during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
We, all together, must ensure children are included in all COVID-19 response and recovery decisions, so that no child is left behind."
In addition, movement restrictions, loss of income, isolation, overcrowding and high levels of stress and anxiety have added a new group of invisible at-risk children who are at increased risk of experiencing and observing physical, psychological and sexual violence and neglect at home.
There is emerging evidence that violence against children is increasing in all different forms, from domestic violence and abuse at home to excessive use of force by law enforcement while enforcing lockdown decisions against street children. In the words of the UN Secretary General: What began as a health crisis risks evolving into a broader child-rights crisis.
The UN Inter-Agency Working Group on Violence against Children calls on governments, the international community, civil society, human rights institutions, the private sector, workers' organizations and leaders in every sector to ensure a child rights and multi-sectoral response to COVID-19 on three fronts:
1. More information
Ensure that age and gender disaggregated data about increases or reductions in prevalence of different types of violence against children is measured and used to inform decision-making.
This should also include medium and longer term health and social consequences related to lockdown policies such as comprehensive collection, analysis and use of age and gender disaggregated risk and resilience data related to COVID-19 and what would constitute a measured, effective response that would take into account other risks created by such response.
Inform children in a child-friendly manner and with age- appropriate language, on the effects and responses to COVID-19. Listen and learn from children about their experience of the current response to COVID-19. Cooperate with and support civil society organizations who have already conducted surveys with children and are currently planning more consultations with children over the world.
2. More solidarity
Use the protection of the world's children as common cause that can stoke a greater sense of unity among people. Maintain or increase support to developing countries with a particular focus on social and child protection systems with special attention to the most vulnerable children. Support the powerful role that children and adolescents can play in engendering this spirit as many are already demonstrating throughout the world— whether through volunteering their help within communities, or combating stigma, xenophobia and discrimination online.
3. More child-rights and multisectoral action
The following points are inter-linked parts of a child rights and multisectoral framework for action for children. All decisions and activities that concern children should be guided by the principle of the best interest of the child in the Convention on the Rights of the Child as well as States' international human rights obligations and recommendations from international and regional human rights mechanisms.
▶ IMMEDIATE ACTIONS
Violence against children: Ensure that essential child protection services are recognized as life-saving and continue to be provided and accessible to all children even during lockdowns, quarantines and other types of restrictions. Expand financial support and resources for national child helplines and gender based violence services to increase their ability to respond to survivors and/or witnesses of violence who may be caught in situations of lockdown with their abusers. Expand public education and awareness campaigns on violence against children, including prevention, such as parenting tips to prevent child maltreatment, ways to identify warning signs of potential violence at home, how to access services, and how a neighbour or friend can assist someone experiencing abuse.
Child participation: Provide opportunities for children's views to be heard and taken into account in decision-making processes on the pandemic, through consultation and dialogue. Children use digital technology to support each other, exchange views and identify gaps in government responses. Children and young people will face a new different reality after the crisis and their future seems uncertain, therefore they will have to be part of the solution.
Access to computer and internet: Increasing the accessibility and affordability of internet access to children, especially in places under lockdown in order to provide education, work, and public information on COVID-19 is a substantial part of the response to maintain children's learning, support and play. Possible measures include financial packages to improve connectivity, data packages and telecommunications subsidies, lending devices and providing technical support hotlines.
Online protection: Messaging on safe and responsible behaviour online and supporting children to develop digital skills and resilience. This should complement concrete action including reviewing of user-generated content and take-down as well as reporting of harmful content, hate speech and illegal behaviour. Provide adequate responses to online violence, including guidance and tools for parents and carers on how to better protect children online and offline, including how to respond to and, if needed, report harmful contacts, conduct and content. Update current safeguarding policies of educational institutions to reflect online risks and potential harms facilitated through online schooling. Private sector stakeholders should take appropriate technical measures – such as parental control tools, age verification, safety-by-design, age-differentiated experiences, with password-protected content, block/allow lists, purchase/time controls, opt-out functions, filtering and moderating – to prevent underage access and exposure to inappropriate content or services.
Mental health: Provide practical support to parents and caregivers, including how to talk about the pandemic with children, how to manage their own mental health and the mental health of their children, and tools to help support their children's learning. Strengthen trainings for health, education and social service workers on the impacts that COVID-19 may have on child well-being, including skills development support in talking to children about anxiety and insecurity.
Alternative care: Ensure that essential child protection services such as alternative care continue to be provided and accessible to all children even during lockdowns, quarantines and other types of restrictions. Provide targeted support to interim care centres and families, including child-headed households and foster families, to emotionally support children and engage in appropriate self-care. avoid institutionalizing children without caregivers, giving priority to family-based care, including extended family (kinship) care.
Case management: Establish mechanisms to ensure that communities facing restrictions on movement have continued access to child- friendly, holistic care for children experiencing violence, including case management. Provide training and support to case workers and existing child helplines on COVID-19, including basic facts and myths, impact of child protection and supported services. Identify risk mitigation measures for caseworkers and alternative methods for follow-up if home visits become impossible.
Children in detention: Release children in all forms of detention whenever possible and reduce the number of children deprived of their liberty during the COVID-19 emergency to reduce vulnerabilities to infection due to crowding, confinement and limited access to health and hygiene. Prevent arrest or detention of children for violating directives relating to COVID-19, end immigration detention for children and their families, and ensure that any child who was arrested or detained is immediately returned to his or her family.
Child Labour / Trafficking: Provide targeted economic assistance, including cash transfers, to low-income communities to help poor and other vulnerable families meet their basic needs without resorting to child labour or child marriage. Strengthen interministerial coordination, as well as within relevant SDGs multi-stakeholder partnerships, such as Alliance 8.7, and redouble efforts to prevent, identify, mitigate and remediate child labour, paying particular attention to increased risk of child trafficking.
Children in humanitarian settings: Provide access to appropriate emotional, financial, and material resources for caregivers and /or child-headed households that are particularly vulnerable and/or have been directly affected by the disease. Train health actors and educators on child protection risks and identify alternative psychosocial support mechanisms and educational activities. Elicit input and support from community members (including traditional and religious leaders) on the design and implementation of effective, child-friendly messaging and communication strategies to promote child protection, risk prevention, and overall awareness of appropriate referral procedures. Establish safe options for unaccompanied children and alternative arrangements for children with families who are hosted in overcrowded reception facilities.
Children and armed conflict: Adhere to the UN Secretary General's call for global ceasefire. Facilitate open access for humanitarian personnel so that we can reach children and families with essential services, including food, healthcare, protection, water and sanitation and refrain from impeding the delivery of relief supplies, or prevent people in need from obtaining services. Ensure border and movement restrictions are implemented in ways that ensure that children and families fleeing conflict and persecution can seek asylum and internally displaced children and families can move to safer areas in their own country.
Social cohesion: Take action against racism and xenophobia that may raise against certain groups who are perceived to be linked to the COVID-19. For example, this could include evidence- based information sharing on the nature of the virus and its spread or the monitoring of hate speech and related activities.
▶ MID AND LONGTERM ACTIONS
Transition: Prioritize the restoration of child services as lockdown measures wind down. Prioritize continuity of child-centred services, like schooling, nutrition programmes, maternal and newborn care, immunization services, sexual and reproductive health services, HIV treatment, mental health and psychosocial and core protection services. Conduct outreach and re-enrollment drives to ensure that no child is left without education and protection. Ensure social dialogue with governments and employers' and workers' representatives results in strong, consensus- driven policy responses that serve those who most need them. Identify the most vulnerable children and support their families with targeted economic assistance, including cash transfers, support to food and nutrition, and access to jobs/income-generating activities.
Fiscal policies and budgets: Reformulate social priorities and develop a strategic plan for the future of public services, in particular social and child protection services. Reduce inequalities in order to re- establish sustainability in the public finances and sustainability and to establish a resilience in readiness for any further national or global crisis.
A global crisis calls for a global response. Solidarity, multi-stakeholder cooperation and multilateralism are needed now more than ever. This calls for strong mobilization of governments, bilateral/multilateral donors, civil society and private sector to:
safeguard social protection, health, education and protection of children services;
ensure children are duly protected and have the possibility to thrive and reach their full potential, when this crisis will be over;
achieve the Goals and Targets of the Sustainable Development Agenda.
Organizations endorsing the Call to Action
The Inter-Agency Working Group on Violence against Children is chaired by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence against Children with representatives from UNHCR, OHCHR, UNICEF, UNODC, ILO, IOM and ITU.

EOAs of 25 March, 2019, there are still 8 more weeks to go until the exhibition of Le Corbusier at the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo will finish. This is the exhibition to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the museum which was designed by the world renown architect, Le Corbusier. Particularly at this time of the year, the location of the museum, Ueno is beautiful with the full bloom of cherry blossoms. So if you happen to be in Japan, why don't you take a walk in Ueno?
On the first floor of the museum, the models of Le Corbusier's buildings were exhibited. This is the only place you are allowed to take photos.
He was a painter before an architect. So there were many drawings and paintings he made at his early time. Unfortunately I could not take those photos but I found that the taste of his drawings was like that of Braque and other cubism painters.
The National Museum of Western Art is one of the sites designated as World Cultural Heritage. UNESCO officially inscribed the Museum in 2016 as "the architectural work of Le Corbusier, an Outstanding Contribution to the Modern Movement" as a part of his 17 works around the world. The museum has a large collection of Impressionists paintings collected by Kojiro Matsukata, a business man of 19th and early 20th century. Le Corbusier designed the building in 1959. The museum has an annex designed by his apprentice Kunio Maekawa in 1979.
The exhibits of Impressionists are gorgeous without doubts but the architecture itself worth visiting. It shows the "Five Points of Architecture" proposed by Le Corbusier; 1) pilotis, 2) the free designing of the ground plan, 3) the free design of the facade, 4) ribbon window and 5) roof gardens. I thought there was no roof garden in this museum but it seems there is. But unfortunately you have no access to the roof garden.
Kunio Maekawa, the apprentice of Le Corbusier worked together to build the museum. And in front of the museum is his another work, Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, the concert hall. You can see that the appearance has a similarity with the National Museum of Western Art. Because it contains Le Corbusier's "Five Points of Architecture".
Uno Park is one of the most popular cherry-blossom-viewing spots in Tokyo. If you visit the exhibition of Le Corbusier either at the end of March or early April, take a walk in Ueno Park. You don't need any explanation – just enjoy the photos!
The last weekend of March and the first weekend of April must be the peak time to enjoy the flowers.
Open until 8pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
Great post. Thank You sharing it with us.
Thank you very much, Sartenada!

Belgrade will not discuss anything with Pristina before the Brussels Agreement is implemented fully, Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said on Thursday.
"If we don't have a second side which is responsible enough to implement what they signed, I don't see how we can talk about any other compromise. We won't discuss other issues if we haven't implemented the agreement which has the backing of Pristina and Brussels and all other partners," Brnabic told reporters.
"A compromise requires at least two and at this moment unfortunately even more players because the people in Pristina said they have no foreign policy but that of the United States," the prime minister said, adding that Serbia has to talk to partners in the US about the long-term compromise and with partners in Brussels because they guarantee the full implementation of the Brussels agreement.
"We're talking about some solution but we have a solution which someone signed and which Pristina has not implemented and when Brussels pressured them they said the Community of Serb Muncipalities is not important. That's not how things work," Brnabic said.

Nissan board member Shiga plans to step down when his term expires in June
Naomi Tajitsu
Toshiyuki Shiga said in a Japanese television interview that he thought it was time "to make room for the next generation."
TOKYO – Nissan board member, Toshiyuki Shiga, is planning to not seek re-election when his term expires in June, in a move that could shake up the automaker's board further after the recent ouster of its Chairman Carlos Ghosn.
Shiga's plan to step down comes after Nissan in November fired Ghosn as chairman and Greg Kelly as representative director following their arrest on suspicion of financial misconduct. Both men deny the allegations, but technically still remain board members who can only be removed by shareholders.
"My current term expires at the end of June. I would like to make elevating Nissan's government my final task, and then it might be time to step back," Shiga, a career Nissan employee who joined the company in 1976, told TV Tokyo earlier this week.
"I think it's time to make room for the next generation."
Nissan declined to comment on the issue.
Shiga, 65, has been a member of Nissan's board of directors since 2015 and also served under Ghosn as vice chairman through 2017. He has mainly served in roles related to sales and marketing and corporate planning.
The nine members of Nissan's board serve two-year terms, all of which expire in June.
Mounting allegations against Ghosn, including that he continued to under-report his salary through 2018 and made Nissan shoulder his personal investment losses in 2008, has prompted some soul searching at Nissan, which has acknowledged that too much power was concentrated with Ghosn.
The situation has also rattled the partnership between Nissan and Renault, the Japanese automaker's biggest shareholder, where Ghosn remains CEO and chairman.

Iran destroys 100,000 satellite dishes in morality-driven crackdown
By JPOST.COM STAFF
Published: JULY 24, 2016 15:45
As part of its widespread ban on illegal devices, Iran collected and destroyed 100,000 satellite dishes and receivers on Sunday, at a ceremony in Tehran, AFP reported.
Reza Naghdi, the head of Iran's Basij militia, holds that the devices are morally damaging. AFP quoted Naghdi as saying, "The truth is that most satellite channels... deviate the society's morality and culture... What these televisions really achieve is increased divorce, addiction and insecurity in society."
One million Iranians, he added, had already turned in their satellite dishes voluntarily.
Some Iranian politicians, such as Culture Minister Ali Jannati and President Hassan Rouhani, have openly stated that the ban is useless and counter-productive, as most Iranians are in violation of this law.


Time Magazine lists 10 Newspapers that will either Fold or Go Under Next.
They give their reasoning for each one in the linked article above. It could be they're right, even about all of them.
But here's something I notice…I read this list because of a link from one of my twitter community–somebody I don't know in "real life" at all. He linked to this Time Magazine story. On Yahoo News (where that link above is going to). And Time is actually just taking it from 24/7wallst.com.
So if I'm counting right, this story reached me only after being re-purposed 4 times from its original source. And now it's reaching anyone reading this after a 5th.
Content "producers" become content aggregators–and content "consumers" become content disseminators in the new media economy. And then those disseminators comment on the content, and re-purpose it, and make their own points. Like I'm doing here. So everybody's role gets reshaped. Who's the "real" producer?

N.L. officials warn of coronavirus risks with aging population, chronic conditions
Holly McKenzie-Sutter
ST. JOHN'S, N.L.
Published April 9, 2020 Updated April 9, 2020
Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Dwight Ball poses in his office at the Confederation Building in St. John's on Feb. 18, 2020.
Early data suggests Newfoundland and Labrador has so far been successful in curtailing the spread of COVID-19, but officials are warning the province's aging population creates particular risks.
Premier Dwight Ball has noted his province has the highest proportion of seniors in the country, and rates of hospitalizations and intensive-care admissions for COVID-19 are higher among those aged 55 and over.
"That's me, that's some of you. We are the ones that end up in ICU, and when you look at our population, well, there's more of us than anyone else," Ball said Wednesday.
The factors raising concern among Newfoundland and Labrador officials are common throughout the Atlantic region, where the four provinces rank highest in the country for seniors per capita.
So far, five deaths related to COVID-19 have been reported in the region, three in Newfoundland and Labrador and two in Nova Scotia. The victims ranged in age from 61 to a woman in her 90s.
Stephen Bornstein, director of Memorial University's Newfoundland and Labrador Centre for Applied Health Research, says the Atlantic provinces score high on a range of COVID-19 risk factors, including chronic conditions and an older population.
He says lower literacy rates and high poverty rates in Newfoundland and Labrador are additional factors that lead to poor health outcomes in general.
"A whole range of health conditions to which Newfoundlanders are particularly exposed, make it more likely that if they get infected, they'll get a serious case," he said.
Earlier this week, Newfoundland and Labrador's health minister, John Haggie, pointed to data showing a higher likelihood of complications if a patient has two underlying conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, which are common in the province.
Across Atlantic Canada, health status and health outcome indicators are pretty much the same, Bornstein said.
Dr. Kenneth Rockwood, a professor of geriatrics at Dalhousie University in Halifax, says the Atlantic region's older population is an important factor, but he stressed that the population's degree of frailty is key.
"We haven't shied away from saying that in this pandemic the burden of illness falls mostly on older adults, and access to intensive care is going to be really complicated," he said. "We're going to have more difficult conversations."
However, Rockwood said the region has two things working in its favour: the fact that COVID-19 showed up in Atlantic Canada relatively late – allowing more time to prepare – and the fact that its older population is relatively eager to follow health protection orders.
"We tend to be a reasonably compliant group," he said.
According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, the age distribution of COVID-19 cases in Canada, as of April 8, was about evenly split between those over the age of 50 and those under. However, federal figures released Tuesday make it clear the viral infection is particularly deadly for seniors.
Theresa Tam, Canada's chief public health officer, said 92 per cent of the COVID-19 related deaths in Canada were people over 60, and 62 per cent were people over 80.
Projections released Wednesday indicate the rate of infections in Newfoundland and Labrador slowed after a cluster of cases connected to a funeral home appeared in March. The models predict that under current measures, the rate of hospitalizations should be manageable through the end of the month.
But Dr. Proton Rahman, a professor of medicine at Memorial University of Newfoundland, said the picture could change quickly, noting the province has recorded its first case in a long-term care home – places that have been "hotbeds" elsewhere in the country.
"It's not going to take very much to change the dynamic," he said.
Federal health officials confirmed Thursday that 198 of the 401 deaths in Canada were in long-term care homes.

What is the official World Cup 2018 anthem?
There are generally number of official songs for the 2018 World Cup but Jason Derulo's 'Colors' is the official 'Coca-Cola anthem' for the tournament in Russia.
The song was launched on March 9 with Derulo writing on Twitter: "Represent your country - represent your flag. Be proud of where you're from and who you are."
'Colors' is an upbeat song and it deals with the idea of multicuturalism, as the title of the song alludes to. Positive and hopeful, its message is clear: embrace diversity while promoting unity.
For example, the lyrics, "We're created equal / One race and that's human / Can't wait 'til they all see, all see dance" leave no doubt as to Derulo's intention with the song.

At this very moment a review of this same whisky is posted at My Annoying Opinions. A couple weeks ago, I split a bottle of this Highland Park 1986 Scott's Selection three ways with M.A.O. and his friend. It gave us the ability to dig into a somewhat older single malt without risking $200ish on a blind purchase. M.A.O.'s opinions have indeed annoyed a number of folks in the whisky blogging community, which is a good thing because our "community" was/is in definite need of some challenges. I have yet to step into the discussion he has started (ignited?), but I do intend to address it in the new year -- because it's going to be difficult to continue writing about whisky unless I do so. No matter my opinion about his blogging opinions, I respect his reviews. I've also found his palate preferences are often similar to mine. I recommend hopping over to his review of this whisky because as I write this, I have no idea what he thinks of this Highland Park.
Scott's Selection is a fascinating independent bottler. I've found semi-dusty Scott's bottles in random corner liquor stores in California, New York, and Arizona. So they're not that difficult to find, for now. And their prices are often much lower than other indies. And the quality of their output tends to be decent, occasionally very good. If I had an issue with them it would be the total lack of disclosure on their labels. There's no mention of cask type, amount of casks, amount of bottles, or actual age. I've seen two bottles labelled "Sherry Wood", but I'm pretty sure I've had a couple other Scott'ses that were aged in sherry casks while the label said nothing about it. So what you'll get is: Highland Park 1986-2007, 54.1% ABV. No more, no less. So you'll have to pardon some of my data below.
The color is at just between light gold and amber. See MAO's pic above. The nose has a surprising youthful spirity nip to it, sort of suggesting old school paint (as in, not the safer low-VOC paints for sale now). It's not too strong, but it shows the oak hasn't been aggressive over the 20+ years, which is fine by me. But black licorice, vanilla, and tapioca pudding push that tougher note to the background. Give it some time......peach taffy, fresh plums, clove, jasmine flowers, and yeast notes arise. I've also been finding cardamom notes in many Highland malts recently; maybe it's my nose. This whisky is no exception, considerable cardamom. Not much peat, unless maybe a vague grassy veg peat? In the palate, hot cereal (think oatmeal or cream of wheat) arrives early. Then fresh apricots and a soft custardy note -- vanilla + brown sugar + caramel. With some time in the glass, the whisky delivers an expressive rich citrus liqueur. Like the nose shows, there's still quite a bite to this stuff. The citrus liqueur notes continues into the finish along with a cayenne peppery heat. It sweetens up here and brings with it a wisp of wood smoke.
My first impression of it neat was, per my notes, "Take a cask strength version of the 18yo, remove the sherry and 75% of the peat." Yet it still feels a bit brasher than an 18 year old whisky.
More oak and fruit in the nose. Fresh cut uncharred wood. Peaches and orange zest. Caramel sauce. Just a hint of the licorice, cardamom, and vanilla remains. An orange soda note builds up after some time. The palate gets "more pleasurable!" Mild vanilla, orange zest, burnt wood, more sugars, and a slight bitterness. Even at this lower strength, a lot of texture remains. It's softer now, though very drinkable at this spot. The finish is much briefer. It's sweet and lightly tart. The citrus and pepper become milder. The jasmine note makes a curious return. And there's that hint of smoke again.
Rarely do I prefer a whisky with water added, but this one really grew on me once it was hydrated. I don't mind some sharpness in my whisky, but this HP cozies up to the nose and tongue better when its ABV is reduced a little.
The near lack of phenolics was somewhat expected. Having had some older whiskies made from highly peated malt, I've come to realize that lengthy maturations mellow out the PPMs. This is no exception. Highland Park's malt doesn't start with much peating, so as it gets older that which was there is no longer.
I've actually been on a search for non-sherried Highland Parks. When MAO mentioned this bottle, my ears (or eyes) perked up. I didn't know what the sherry situation was going to be like, but thought it was worth a try. And it is. While I don't think this whisky will WOW anyone, I also don't think it's going to offend. It does offer an alternate look at Highland Park -- removing the sherry element and most of the peat -- if you're in search of that experience.
It's interesting, MAO did find some peat, as well as sulphuric notes. Did the sulfur (I'm just going keep spelling it differently) come from the spirit or a non-Murray-approved sherry cask? Both of our reviews recognize old-school Highlands malts, but different perspectives.
He just pointed out to me that while his review was from a freshly opened bottle, my whisky may have opened up a little as it had been decanted into a smaller bottle and had a week or two to sit.
We both got the vegetal peat note on the nose–I think what you separated out as yeasty I probably clustered with peat. We both got apricot and citrus on the palate and the bitterness (though you got that more with water). We also both got pepperiness/heat on the palate, and while I got more smoke/soot than you did neither of us found it at all phenolic. And we both got caramel at different points in the nose. Some of the other things I think are examples of similar notes calling out slightly different associations: your old paint and my new briefcase, for example. Similarly, your black liquorice may be related to my pine resin.
Of course, there are differences: you didn't remark the gunpowder/rock salt notes, which seems striking because I think you are generally more turned off by sulphur than I am. It may be those notes dissipated in the two weeks between the actual taking of our notes (for those not involved: my notes are from a fresh crack of the bottle taken not too long after it was divided up, and Michael's came two weeks later thanks to my laziness in getting his share to him). It may also be that I am describing as "gunpowder" briny/metallic notes that you wouldn't characterize that way. And, on the whole, you obviously found it more fruity than I did, especially on the nose.
I don't mean to try to explain away differences/discrepancies in any of the above. I think it is important to stress how subjective the whisky nosing/tasting experience is and how idiosyncratic the language into which we translate that experience can be.
I'm looking forward to Thursday's session. And I think I'll revisit my sample again so as to try and remove the time variable a bit.
Yeah, when I first read your review this morning I laughed thinking, "Holy moley, it's like different whiskies." But I agree, we did have a number of similar experiences but expressed it differently. For instance, I wasn't 100% sure about defining what I'd smelled as black licorice, but it's the connection my brain was most confident in making. An interesting study in sensory experience / language connections for me.
The sulphuric issue interests me as well. I'm usually pretty sensitive to sulphur. And I don't mind a little bit of it, but when I found a big wallop of it in that Old Malt Cask Brora (a few months ago), I did begin to wonder how much sulphur I could enjoy. Jordan of Chemistry of the Cocktail said on Twitter that sulfides will oxidize to disulfides which don't smell as strongly, so I'm wondering if the decanting process and a couple weeks time softened up the gunpowder note in this HP.
Ultimately, we both actually liked the whisky, though for different reasons. You probably liked your experience a little more than I, though my experience preferred to swim. Now I'm really curious about Thursday's whisky.
Also, any further conversation between MAO and I about this whisky will be moved to MAO's site, just for ease.
I really think that i haven't tasted many HP single casks yet, and i'm not sure what would show HPs distillery character better... a bourbon or a sherry cask, but i definetly would like to try one.
Yeah, I haven't had a bad Scott's yet. There have been a couple that were so-so, but most I've tried have been good. A couple were dynamite. Most of the bottles in the states are those bottled between 2003-2007. Haven't seen any new ones yet, though I know that Europe has newer ones on the shelves.
Well... if you need someone to organize a bottle of HP out of a Bourbon Cask let me know. I have many friends and surely would be able to organize something. The only thing i'm not too sure about are US Regulations when sending alcohol by mail.
I'm pretty sure there is a slew of state and local regulations stating that you can't send alcohol by mail, unless you are a licensed distributor or seller. I also have yet to hear of a case when a whisky lover was prosecuted for such a crime. I would speculate that press and public opinion would not take too kindly on prosecutors wasting taxpayer money on enforcing prohibition era laws. There is the aspect of shipping flammable liquids, but that doesn't seem to stop merchants to send me cask-strength whisky by mail (but not via US Post Office).
I always find i funny how the US seem to prohibit the most simple things while meantime you're able to buy firearms for kids... however... this is drifting into politics so i keep my mouth shut.
Back to topic - i will ask some friends in our forum how they handle to send samples to the States.
I've seen a couple old Glenfarclases from Scott's sitting on a shelf in a specialty place out here, looking dark as coffee.
As Florin noted, there are interstate laws within the US in addition to international restrictions when it comes to shipping liquids (specifically those of the flammable sort). There are even a number of large US vendors that have stopped shipping within this country, due to these laws and taxes, even at the expense of losing a considerable chunk of their business.
Our country has an odd relationship with booze, add into that mess some terrorism concerns (exploding whisky!) and 50 separate state governments, and you get this situation we're discussing. As it exists now, it benefits neither individuals or businesses.
I would definitely recommend asking international forum folks as to how they send stuff. Also, drop me a line at divingforpearlsblog at gmail.com if you get some good tips from them. Thanks!
If you're able to get one of those Glenfarclas you will not regret it. The '65 one is kinda weird, but in a good way. It misses the distillery characteristics and is going more towards a wood note together with asome drying sherry and smoke. I really prefer the last official '66 for Germany which is really a gem even with it's high age.
As soon as i receive more infos from the forums i will let you know. A friend of mine is travelling the states on a regular base and could surely take some samples or even whole bottles into his luggage. Usually he's in SF but maybe thats an option.
I hadn't heard that. I hope that's not true. They've never been big on the marketing/advertising front, which might not be great for business but is appreciated by some of us consumers tired of hype. The most recent Scott's I've seen in the US is this Highland Park bottled in 2007. Everything else I've seen was bottled between 1996 - 2006. If what their distributor's rep told me last year is true, there are a TON of casks still in their warehouses. I wonder if they'd sell their stock to other indie bottlers? Or back to the distilleries looking for old stock? That way they'd limit their expenses.
Jason of, well, Jason's Scotch Whisky Reviews actually emailed Gerry Tosh (Highland Park's distillery manager) all the way back in 2010 to ask about the distillery's cask usage. Tosh replied that HP uses all ex-sherry casks but the wood is a mix of American and European oak. Highland Park 15, specifically, uses more refill casks made from American Oak hence why it had citrus notes (apparently a characteristic of American oak maturation which lines up with Glenmorangie's citric flavor profile).
Based on this response, I would infer that HP filling an ex-bourbon cask would be a rare occurrence and likely done for blend filling or selling to an independent bottler. This does make me curious to try one though.
I get that citrus thing in the HP18, I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
HP's US brand rep, Martin, told me that thing regarding the refill American oak casks and the HP15. I actually like that one a lot more than most folks, and mostly because the sherry is very reserved.
There's a video I found on Youtube of a tour of Highland Park. The most curious thing I noticed were a set of Port wine casks in the warehouse which the tour guide explained was an experiment HP had conducted a while back. The result wasn't Highland Park so it appears the casks were left aging in the warehouse while the distillery staff wondered what to do with them.
Personally I would totally take them off their hands and dispose of them for free.
Edrington's marketing company could probably come up some sort of tie-in with a Viking legend about wine and then sell the bottles for $1000 a pop. Plus I'm sure any indie bottler would be happy to take the casks off their hands, even if they couldn't name the whisky "Highland Park". Otherwise, yeah, I'm with you.
I've been thinking and I'm starting to wonder whether Highland Park has any ex-bourbon casks. I bring this up because I've been pondering about their use of American oak ex-sherry casks which are functionally the same barrel (not sure about their volumes though). G&M has been offering an 8 year old HP in the last few years that were matured in refill casks most likely made of American oak and the flavor profile is similar to other ex-bourbon matured malts. I'd say this would make for a great taste comparison but an ex-bourbon cask HP seems to be a unicorn among the indies.
Many of their Viking-themed releases sound totally bereft of sherry. See Serge's reviews of Freya, Harald, Leif Eriksson, Sigurd, and Ragnvald. (I'm suggesting Serge because I do not foresee me trying a single one of their Viking releases.) Now whether they're using fourth-fill US oak ex-sherries or a fresher ex-bourbon may be a mystery. Whatever ex-bourbon casks HP has probably goes into Famous Grouse; I can't imagine they'd waste sherry casks on that blend.
And I just proved myself wrong. I noticed Beltramo's had an Alexander Murray bottle of 13 year old Highland Park which I immediately picked up because it was 56.1% ABV (a rarity for Alexander Murray given they water down a lot of their whisky to 40%) and an ex-bourbon cask. Next to it was a Signatory Highland Park 15 that was also from an ex-bourbon cask. Since I agree that ex-bourbon HP is probably going into Famous Grouse, I am very happy to see the indies grabbing a few casks to bottle themselves.
K&L carried that Alexander Murray HP bottling for a little while. Total Wine has it at their stores. It also interested me because the rest of the bottlings don't interest me. They appear to have a lot of casks of whisky and they appear to be abusing them all. Binny's appears to have a few indie single bourbon casks of HP too.
The really weird thing is that bottling of Highland Park is cask strength. Alexander Murray's ENTIRE line (from their website) is 40% except for that HP.


My wife spotted this old Ford in southern Georgia. It's apparently retired and sitting quietly in the shade of this old building. I am generally on the lookout for old abandoned buildings but this was a real treat to find this old workhorse.

Black Ops II 'Vengeance" Map Pack Will Hit Xbox 360 First
News 6/18/2013 at 11:09 PM by Christopher Metz 1
New Zombies map will bring back the Ray Gun Mark II!
Don't let Call of Duty: Ghosts distract you from the current CoD title that's out and thriving! Treyarch recently announced their latest additions to the game in the next Call of Duty: Black Ops II DLC, including a new Zombies map that makes players go "cowboy". Kick off your July 4th weekend with the upcoming "Vengeance" DLC pack.
This third DLC to hit Black Ops II, "Vengeance", will continue to expand the diverse multiplayer map pool by including four new environments for players to spray bullets on; a deserted tropical island, a destroyed suspension bridge, an abandoned paintball course, and the jungles of Myanmar; a re-imagined, classic Black Ops I map. Here an official description of all 4 maps:
Call of Duty: Black Ops II Vengeance delivers four new, diverse multiplayer maps starting with "Cove," where the stage is set for all-out conflict on this small, forgotten island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, with players battling it out amongst the wreckage of a jet that crash-landed during a smuggling operation gone wrong. Next up is "Detour," a destroyed suspension bridge, high above an East Coast waterway, packed with scattered vehicles, exposed iron and collapsed pavement where the head-to-head action will play out on multiple levels. The third map, "Rush," sets the stage for fast, close-quarters engagements in this paintball course turned full-combat arena, giving players new opportunities and challenges to use the cover to their advantage. Rounding out Vengeance's multiplayer maps is "Uplink." In this re-imagined adaptation of the fan-favorite multiplayer map "Summit" from the original Call of Duty®: Black Ops, players clash deep in the rain-soaked jungles of Myanmar, high atop a hi-tech mountain facility.
Additionally, a new Zombies map, "Buried" resides in an abandoned, underground, Old West mining town where its previous inhabitants have come to reclaim their home. Not only will tons of equipment and a revisiting of some "old friends" will be on this map, but another special addition will be included in every current Zombies map to date: the inclusion of the fan-favorite, Ray Gun Mark II weapon (a pleasant surprise)! Mark Lamia of Treyarch spoke about "Buried" and what the developer wanted to bring to the fans of Black Ops II:
When it's difficult to see the line between playtesting and leisurely gaming around the studio, it's a sure sign that we've created something fun with Vengeance. From the four multiplayer maps to our new Zombies experience, "Buried," Vengeance continues doing what we set out to accomplish from the very beginning of development on Call of Duty: Black Ops II: pushing the boundaries of fans' expectations.
The DLC map pack will be available on Xbox 360 this July 2nd for 1200 MS Points, with all other platforms following shortly thereafter. Let us know what you think "Buried" will hold for co-op gamers in the comments below!

The semi-automatic coldsaw CS-355SA has a semi-automatic feed (using pneumatic-hydraulic power assisted variable speed feed) for high production cuts through round pipe, tube or solids, aluminum, copper, or other non-ferrous metals. The semi-automatic feature offers less operator fatigue when cutting thicker materials like schedule 80 pipe or solids.
The CS-355SA series is the non-ferrous version of the CS-350 series.
The CS-355SA metal cutting saw has an adjustable safety guard and complete liquid cooling system, ensuring safety and long blade life. This machine can mitre a total of 135° - 45° to the left and 90° to the right.
The CS-355SA series is a very robust semi-automatic coldsaw that relies on a heavy cast frame coupled with a heavy-duty gearbox and motor for years of production. The CS-355SA is simply the best quality circular coldsaw for its price.
The CS-355SA coldsaw comes with a pneumatic self centering vice, so there are no changes to make when changing diameters of tube or pipe. The pneumatic clamping vice also has a floating clamp that independently (left to right of saw blade) holds the jaws. This securely holds both sides of the cut material without dropping them into the rotating blade, which extends blade life.
This is the perfect coldsaw for thin, medium, or thick walled pipe, tubing, extrusions, or solid bar stock.


Virgin Atlantic is a British airline that was established in 1984. The airline's head office is situated in England. Virgin Atlantic mostly operates international flights worldwide. As many big airlines, Virgin Atlantic has a loyalty program called Flying Club and offers credit cards through partnership with Bank of America in the United States. American consumers can get the Virgin Atlantic Black Card or the Virgin Atlantic White Card.
Those who always fly with Virgin Atlantic can reap the benefit of being a loyal customer by becoming a member of their Flying Club loyalty program and by getting their credit card. There are two credit cards you can choose from: the first is Black credit card and the second is the White credit card. Both cards are World Elite MasterCard® credit cards.
As it obvious from the card name, these two cards are different as black and white in terms of fees and rewards. The Black card will allow you to earn more bonus miles on purchases than the White card. The same goes for the sigh up bonuses and cards benefits. As for fees, the Black card will cost you $90 and the annual fee for the White card will be $49. The only thing that is the same for both cards is the interest rate – both, purchases and balance transfers have a 14.24% APR.
Earned miles can be redeemed for flights with Virgin Atlantic and its partner airlines, such as Air China, All Nippon Airways, Delta, and other airlines. All in all, Virgin Atlantic has 13 partner airlines. If Virgin Atlantic is not the airline you always fly and Virgin Atlantic credit cards are not exactly what you are looking for, you may get interested in other credit card offers above.
What is the difference between Virgin Atlantic Black credit card and White credit card?


For your visitors, your site offers a first look at your business. It's the place they will go not exclusively to take information about the prices and availability, they will also look at your rooms, amenities and find out some bundles you offer to upgrade their experience when they travel.
Sadly, for some hotel owners, building a website is not their specialty. If you're one of them, you don't have to worry. There are tons of ready-made website layouts for hotels that will enable you to make an easy to use and good looking website while not getting stressed about creating a site from the ground up.
A hotel website layout maker is an application that you can utilise to build an enhanced, easy to use a website in just a few minutes. A specialist, web designer program, includes lovely hotel website layouts that are also intended to attract web search tools that will rank your site based on the responsiveness of the website and data it provides to potential customers.
These website building programs enable you to build a website for your business that allows you to enhance your online presence, connect to a more vast crowd, and boost your online reservation.
Your hotel website has to have the ability to coordinate with your online reservation system since this is the way that you can acknowledge the online reservation. Make sure that you put resources into a hotel reservation system that has a noticeable 'Book Now' button.
The web indexes today are searching for websites to be not just loaded up with valuable data, it also needs to be flexible and versatile for the clients going to your site. Hotel websites with responsive layouts will naturally conform to the screen size of the current user, making it useful for clients who are using their mobile phones to discover what they need and book.
Your hotel website has to show all the things that you can bring to the table. A site that has a page full of images will enable you to give your intended crowd the visual confirmation that they have to book a room at your hotel. You have to put resources into a website that enables you to show images with high resolution without reducing the responsiveness on your website in general. If you are a luxury resort in Tasmania then have the images to support this.
● Place yourself in your clients' perspective and consider which of the characteristics of your property draw in visitors the most. It might be the price, the area, room's character, particular services, amenities; whatever they admire the most about online and offline reviews.
● Guests need a precise picture of what they're getting for what they are going to pay for. Show off your romantic wedding venue facilities as well as guest rooms to appeal to a wide range of audiences.
● Concentrate on your website's utility-value and on the things you offer. Your website's primary objective is to create reservations for your property, so you should consider in case you're putting forth all the data your visitors require before they book.
● A great way to begin is to be clear and fair about the accommodation structures and services, and also about the terms and conditions for fees and revocations.
When you need to go above and beyond, consider a segment to feature the primary attractions in your vicinity, and transportation tips, like how to get to your hotel via car. The aim is to give all the data your visitors require, ruling out uncertainty, and improving conversion rates.
Style matters! Particularly when discussing websites.
Contemplate about the layout and whether it's reliable or simplistic. It's crucial to have a website which your clients are glad to invest time in, without feeling pestered by confusing, long pages. Ideally, while exploring on a website, we tend to know pretty much where everything has to be. For instance, we realise that on most sites the when you click on the logo it routs you to the landing page since we're all used to basic online standards. Choose a theme that suits the vibe of your hotel, convey the coastal interior design through your website theme and colours so that customers will want to visit and experience the beach coastal furniture for themselves.
Looking through your clients' perspective is important, but being inside the confines of the business, it is easy to not see some of the most important parts as a customer. Presumably, you know all that you have to know about your website, so looking for information or booking is simple for you. But it's not the same for guests.
Whenever possible, test the usability of your website. Ask a colleague or a friend or a trusted client who isn't acquainted yet with your site to accomplish a specific task and to direct you through the procedure. With this essential exercise, you could pinpoint the usual difficulties that your website visitors encounter, from slow loading speed to inconsistent navigation troubles.

To allay international outrage over the house arrest of Aung San Suu Kyi for another 18 months, the Burmese military junta was looking to show a good gesture. This opportunity came when Sen. Jim Webb, Virginia Democrat, visited the reclusive country on Friday.
The junta took two significant steps to water down international criticisms, particularly from the U.S. government. First, the junta agreed to deport John William Yettaw; second, it granted Mr. Webb a meeting with both Mrs. Suu Kyi and Than Shwe, the chief of state.
Mr. Yettaw, whom the junta used for Mrs. Suu Kyi's conviction, was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment on Aug. 11. By releasing him, the junta wants to convey the message of humanity and peace. Moreover, it is Mrs. Suu Kyi whom the military leaders fear and not Mr. Yettaw. Mr. Yettaw's case was manipulated to find a reason to indict Mrs. Suu Kyi so she can be barred from participating in the 2010 election.
The Burmese junta understands Mr. Webb's Southeast Asia policy. The senator has been a vocal advocate for engaging the military junta, a policy the Obama administration envisages. Though Mr. Webb was not an official envoy of the White House, his position as the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's East Asia and Pacific Affairs subcommittee speaks a lot to the Burmese military generals.
The U.S. government has been very critical of the military regime since 1988. The military junta fears Washington partly because of its military power and its global political status as the lone superpower.
To the surprise of many, the junta chief congratulated then-presidential candidate Barack Obama when the latter won primary elections last year. Than Shwe again congratulated Mr. Obama when he was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States of America. He was optimistic with the first black president's campaigns to pursue diplomatic channels in his foreign policies.
In the meantime, Than Shwe understands the ineffectiveness of the U.N. Security Council as long as he can persuade China and Russia to stand on his side. Though Washington had not considered a unilateral military action against the Burmese government, the military leaders had a lingering fear, especially in the aftermath of the Iraq invasion.
During last month's visit to Burma by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Than Shwe denied Mr. Ban's request to meet with Mrs. Suu Kyi. The military chief gave as the reason the fact that Mrs. Suu Kyi was facing trial.
Despite the secretary-general's ongoing personal involvement in trying to help resolve the political crisis in Burma, no concrete solution is expected before the 2010 election. This is partly because of the intransigent nature of the military junta and also because of the lack of strong backing from the Security Council. Several unsuccessful attempts have been made through visits by the secretary-general's special envoy and through friends of Burma.
No tangible solution is expected from the engagement policy of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, in which Burma is a member.
If it seriously considers helping establish a democratic society in Burma, the U.S. government can be the most effective nation. This does not, however, advocate the unconditional lifting of sanctions. Both carrot and stick should be used in dealing with the recalcitrant military junta.
A special envoy who knows and understands the region would be a wise option, but the new ambassador for East Asia, Kurt Campbell, also could be assigned. Isolation has been applied unsuccessfully for many years, and it is time to give engagement a chance.
Mr. Webb, who met with Than Shwe and Mrs. Suu Kyi, should have been briefed by both the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) and the National League for Democracy (NLD) on how to move forward with a reconciliation program.
Though no unanimity can be reached at the U.N. Security Council for any punitive action against the military junta, China and Russia likely will throw their support if Washington chooses engagement.
Engaging Burma does not simply mean rewarding the military junta. It should rather be viewed as a possible way out of the continued political crisis. Engaging Burma should be inclusive of all ethnic nationalities, the NLD and SPDC.
Nehginpao Kipgen is a researcher on the rise of political conflicts in modern Burma (1947-2004) and general secretary of the U.S.-based Kuki International Forum. He has written numerous analytical articles on the politics of Burma and Asia for many leading international newspapers.
This may be an excellent cagipamn Luke. Well done for drawing attention to it. I say "may be" because all boycotts need to be weighed up by potential participants in terms of whether they harm workers or tyrants more in the short, medium and long terms. Have not had to decide on this one as Burma is not on my destination list, but did boycott South Africa, and don't boycott Israel – though I do very have strong antipathy to state actions there.Tory conference 06 had an excellent platform guest on this very subject. You may have seen it yourself? She appeared to be urging military action however. And she received a standing invasion. I mean a standing ovation. At the time this reminded me rather of Iraqi refugees asking for invasions and getting ovations in other places. Burma would have the advantage of being a more realistic replica of Vietnam.

Unlocking Australia's energy storage potential
by Debbie Thorpe | May 2, 2018 | Uncategorized
The Clean Energy Council released a policy paper in May of 2017 outlining a package of targeted reforms to support the increased roll out of energy storage projects at residential, commercial and grid scales.
It recommended 13 reforms across four categories to achieve this, ranging from removing regulatory barriers and rewarding the value of storage behind the meter, to protecting consumers and changes that would allow storage to support grid security through its fast frequency response capability.
A few years back, in April 2015, the council also developed the Australian Energy Storage Roadmap to help this exciting emerging technology reach its potential.
The state of energy storage in Australia is a rapidly developing sector and is now at a similar stage to where rooftop solar power was a decade ago.
Several large-scale storage projects were completed in 2016, including the 2 MWh installation at the Sandfire Resources Copper Mine and the 1.1 MWh community installation at Alkimos Beach in Western Australia.
Grid-scale storage such as pumped hydro and battery arrays became the focus of intense interest in 2016, because of a debate about energy security after the September 2016 state-wide blackout in South Australia.
As a result, the Victorian Government called for expressions of interest to build a 20 MW battery array and the South Australian Government will fund 100 MW of battery storage to be completed in time for the 2017 summer.
In March 2017, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced plans for Snowy Hydro 2.0, which would expand the original scheme to include 2000 MW of pumped hydro storage.
It has also been announced that a feasibility study would be conducted geared towards the expansion of Tasmania's hydro power network to include up to 2500 MW of pumped hydro.


Newberg dentist Dr. Jennifer McLeod and her staff at Newberg Family Dental encourage patients of all ages to eat a healthy, balanced diet as part of good overall dental health. Consumers across the country in general – and in the Pacific Northwest specifically – have gotten pretty picky about what kinds of food they buy and eat on a regular basis. An important part of this trend includes the simple act of reading labels.
But it turns out that the better we get at reading labels as consumers, the sneakier the food manufacturers become. While labels might claim one thing about a product, the reality might be that the food product contains various fillers or less expensive ingredients.
This kind of behavior is called "food fraud" by the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention, which has created a Food Fraud Database to keep track of the offenders. Some of these fraudulent foods might surprise you.
Coffee is made from simple beans that have been roasted, right? Unfortunately, this is not always the case. In food fraud cases, ground coffee beans have been "refined" with products like figs, glucose, starch, ground parchment, twigs, and roasted barley. It's best to spend a little more and truly get what you pay for with reliable coffee producers.
Olive oil can be difficult to distinguish from other oils simply by site, and tends to be commonly misrepresented. In many cases, the oil being sold is not what has been labeled; this could be a non-Italian oil that's labeled as Italian, or Extra Virgin that, in fact, is not extra anything. The oil itself could also be diluted with any variety of other oils, including peanut, soybean, vegetable or corn.
Maybe hormones in milk isn't the worst additive we have to deal with. It's scary but true that milk can be part of the food fraud industry, and has been found to be "refined" with melamine, starch, cow tallow, and detergent, to name a few. Buy organic if you can from a reputable source.
Honey is one of the most commonly mislabeled foods, with cheaper varieties passed off as more expensive and "refinements" added. Much of the mislabeled honey comes from Asia and contains antibiotics and lead, as well as high fructose corn syrup, beet sugar and sucrose syrup.
If you can, buy honey from local farmers directly or at Farmers Markets in your area. This will help ensure that the honey you buy is the real, pure thing.
Juice seems to be a common food fraud case, with varieties of apple juice claiming to be 100% juice but, on closer inspection, contains sugar and has been imported from China. The same can be said for pomegranate and orange juice, which often contain pear juice, grape juice, or just plain high fructose corn syrup.
Food fraud is real but can be avoided through shopping locally and eating unprocessed, whole foods. It's important to protect yourself and your family in order to maintain good overall dental health!
