Last, but not the least, we would like to thank our faculty guide, PROF. N.N BORAD for helping us and providing us with necessary knowledge regarding our project.
This is to certify that the project report, submitted along with the project entitled "STUDY AND DESIGN OF GRAVITY DAM"has been carried out by MERIYANI JAMI ,NEICHUTUONUO YHOME,VEKROLU.
A gravity dam is a solid structure, made of concrete or masonry, constructed across a river to create a reservoir on its upstream. The section of the gravity dam is approximately or almost triangular in shape, with its apex at its top and maximum width at bottom. The section is so proportioned that it resists the various forces acting on it by its own weight. Hence the name gravity dam is given.
Dams constructed out of masonry or concrete and which rely solely on its self weight for stability fall under the nomenclature of gravity dams. Masonry dams have been in use in the past quite often but after independence, the last major masonry dam structure that was built was the Nagarjunsagar Dam on river Krishna which was built during 1958-69. Normally, coursed rubble masonry was used which was bonded together by lime concrete or cement concrete. However masonry dam is no longer being designed in our country probably due to existence of alternate easily available dam construction material and need construction technology.
Gravity dams are now being built of mass concrete, whose design and construction aspects would be discussed in this study.It is important to note that, it is not just sufficient to design a strong dam structure, but it is equally important to check the foundation as well for structural integrity. For concrete dams, the stress developed at the junction of the base becomes quite high, which the foundation has to resist. Usually concrete gravity dams are constructed across a river by excavating away the loose soil till firm rock is encountered which is considered as the actual foundation since the structure needs a rigid foundation for its weight to fall on which facilitates in the transfer of load and hence contribute to the stability of the structure. Nevertheless not all rocks are of the same quality; they vary with different geological materials and the process by which they have been formed over the years. Therefore proper geological survey by professional geologists are required to survey the area prior to construction of the dam to check the suitability of the foundation with the type of dam to be built above it.
1. It shall be safe against overturning at any horizontal position , within the dam, at the contact with the foundation or along an geological feature withim the foundation within the foundation.
2. It should be safe against sliding at any horizontal plane within the dam, at the contact with the foundation or along any geological feature within the foundation.
Safety of the dam structure is to be checked against possible loadings, which may be classified as primary, secondary or exceptional. The classification is made in terms of the applicability and/or for the relative importance of the load.
1. Primary loads are identified as universally applicable and of prime importance of the load.
2. Secondary loads are generally discretionary and of lesser magnitude like sediment load or thermal stresses due to mass concreting.
3. Exceptional loads are designed on the basis of limited general applicability or having low probability of occurrence like inertial loads associated with seismic activity.
Technically a concrete gravity dam derives its stability from the force of gravity of the materials in the section and hence the name. The gravity dam has sufficient weight so as to withstand the forces and the overturning moment caused by the water impounded in the reservoir behind it. It transfers the loads to the foundations by cantilever action and hence good foundations are pre requisite for the gravity dam.
2. Forces such as uplift, earthquake loads, silt pressure and ice pressure which are assumed only on the basis of assumptions of varying degree of reliability. In fact to evaluate this category of forces, special care has to be taken and reliance placed on available data, experience and judgement.
The Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP) is an interstate, multipurpose joint venture of four states, viz., Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, with a terminal dam on river Narmada in the state of Gujarat. It is the largest water resources development project in India and possibly in the world . based on the size of the reservoir,it is the largest dam in the world. However when the heigh or length id considered,it may not be considered the largest.
The Sardar Sarovar Dam is a gravity dam on the Narmada River crossing Gujarat in India. It is the largest dam and part of the Narmada Valley Project, a large hydraulic engineering project involving of a series of large irrigation and hydroelectric multi-purpose dams.
The agreement of sharing and using water by the four states were defined by the Narmada Water Dispute Tribunal (NWDT) in 1979 after conflict arose between Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat and also between the other two states,i.e., Rajasthan and Maharashtra on various issues, maybe social,economical or financial.
a water supply system for about 30 million people in the droughtprone areas of Saurashtra and Kachchh.
a network of branch and distribution canals and drainage system to irrigate about 450,000 hai.
The project preparation and organization took a span of four years from identification in the year 1979 to pre- appraisal in 1983. It was completed by Narmada Planning group with assistance from the United Nation Development Program (UNDP). The Narmada Development Department that was in charge of implementing the project had prepared the detail designs and cost estimates of the project. Later in the year may 1988, responsibility for the implementation of the project was transferred from the Narmada Development Department, a government agency, to the Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Ltd. (SSNNL), a parastatal corporation organized along functional lines. The Bank and borrowers reviewed the basic hydrological data used for the project design and gave a satisfactory report.
The Narmada Water Dispute tribunal had set the annual 75 percent dependable water availability for the project at 28 million acre feet (MAF) (34,580 Mm³) with 65.2 percent allocated to Madhya Pradesh, 32.1 percent to Gujarat. 1.8 percent to Rajasthan, and 0.9 percent to Maharashtra project design.
The project vested its first priority to water supply, second to irrigation and the last to power generation. As per the original design of the project, the Sardar Sarovar dam was to irrigate 17.92 lakh ha land in Gujarat and 73,000 ha of land in two districts of Rajasthan.
The beneficiary states claimed that in the first phase of command area development, a total of 2.46 lakh ha land of would be irrigated. At the time of raising the height of the dam to 121.92 m, it was estimated that 3.5 lakh ha of additional land will be brought under irrigation.
Length of Main Canal up to 458.318 km Rajasthan border.
(i) Population of 350.25 lakh in 8,215 villages and 135 Urban centers in Gujarat including the whole of Saurashtra and Kutch region fully covered for Drinking water purposes.
(ii) In Rajasthan besides Irrigation, drinking water facility will also extended to 45.88 lakh people in 1336 villages and 3 towns situated around the irrigation canal.
Commission at 2008-09 price level.
The Sardar Sarovar project will provide irrigation facilities to 18.45 lac ha.of land , covering 3112 villages of 73 talukas in 15 districts of Gujarat. It will also irrigate 75000 ha. of land in the strategic desert districts of Barmer and Jallore in Rajasthan and 37500 ha. in the tribal hilly tract of Maharashtra through lift. About 75% of the command area of Gujarat is drought prone. Assured water supply will soon make this area drought proof.
There will be two power houses viz. River bed power house and canal head power house with an installed capacity of 1200 MW and 250 MW respectively. The power would be shared by three states- Madhya Pradesh-57%, Maharashtra-27% and Gujarat-16%. This will provide a useful paking power to western gridof the country which has very limited hydel power production at present.
A series of micro hydro power stations are also planned on the branch canals where convenient falls are available.
It will provide flood protection to riverine reaches measuring 30000 ha. Covering 210 villages and Bharuch city and a population of 4 lac in Gujarat.
The original project estimate approved by the Planning Commission pertained to 1986-87 price level amounting to Rs. 6,406.04 crore. The revised project estimate corresponding to 1991-92 price level was approved by government of Gujarat for Rs. 13,180.62 crore, but could not be approved by the SSCAC.
(about Rs.2185 crore) components have been approved by the SSCAC.
The river Narmada, referred as the holiest of holy rivers by Shri Adi Shankaracharya, rises near Amarkantak in the Shahdol district of Madhya Pradesh and traverses about 1,312 kms before joining the Gulf of Cambay in the Arabian sea. The first 1,077 kms is in Madhya Pradesh and the last 161 kms is in Gujarat. Of the remaining length, 35 kms forms a common boundary between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, and another 39 kms between Gujarat and Maharashtra.
The Sardar Sarovar Dam on river Narmada is located barely 12 kms from the Maharashtra-Gujarat border, and the length of river up to Sardar Sarovar Dam is 1163 kms (SSNNL, 2000).
Considered as the largest 6 west flowing river, Narmada has a catchment area of 97410 Sq. kms, of which about 88.14% lies in Madhya Pradesh, 1.7% in Maharashtra, and 10.16% in Gujarat. The total drainage area of the river up to the dam site is 88000 Sq. kms. The average annual rainfall in the basin is 112 cm. The maximum recorded flood at the dam site is 70847 cubic-metre-per-second (cumecs), i.e., about 25 lacs cubic-feet-per-second (cusecs).
The NWDT has fixed the design parameters of Sardar Sarovar Dam with a view to derive optimum7 irrigation and power benefits. The 1200 m long and 163 m high concrete dam is designed to pass a maximum flood discharge of about 87,000 cubic-metre-per-second through its spillways, and the volume of concrete involved in construction is estimated to amount to 6.82 million cubic meters (SSNNL, 2000). The other salient features of this major dam8 are summarised in table 2.
The reservoir formed by dam will submerge about 37533 hectares of land out of which about 30% will be agricultural land, about 36% will be forestland, and balance 34% will be riverbed and wasteland. About 193 villages will be affected in Madhya Pradesh; however the extent of land submergence in 114 villages will be less than 25%. In Madhya Pradesh, only habitation areas will be affected in 21 villages while only government wasteland area will be submerged in 9 villages. About 33 villages will be coming under submergence in Maharashtra; and extent of private land submergence will be less than 25% in 12 villages.
The hydropower complex will have 1450 MW installed capacity. It will comprise of an underground River Bed Power House (RBPH)10 with six units of 200 MW capacities; and a surface Canal Head Power House (CHPH)11 with five units of 50 MW capacities. The 440 kilo Volt (KV) double circuit transmission lines will evacuate the combined generated power to the three beneficiary states. The discharges from canal head powerhouse will be led to main canal for irrigation (and drinking) usage in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Four inter-linked ponds – with a combined storage of 63 million cubic meters – have been constructed between powerhouse and main canal head regulator with a view to control daily operational mismatch between power releases and irrigation demands.
with automated gates are being provided to control water levels during normal and emergency operations, to store water during shut-down, and to isolate reaches and river crossings in case of a breach in main canal. Escapes at specific locations have also been provided to divert water in emergency situations (NCA, 2003b). Apart from the main canal, the irrigation network in Gujarat would comprise of 42 branch canals13 with gross length of 2524 kms, about 7500 kms long distributaries, and nearly 30000 kms of minors and sub-minors. The vast network of distribution system, including field channels, will stretch over an aggregate length of about 75000 kms. In Rajasthan, there would be 9 major distributaries with a total length of 282 kms; and the total length of minors and sub-minors would be 485 kms and 636 kms respectively.
As per the directions of NWDT, Gujarat has to resettle all the project-affected persons who are willing to resettle in Gujarat, including those from the state of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The persons who are unwilling to resettle in Gujarat are to be resettled in their respective states based on similar land based policy.
agricultural labourers, and making them entitled for 2 hectares of agricultural land.
Each project-affected person, including major sons, is allotted 500 square meters of residential plot free of cost, and also given certain grants21 (NCA, 2003a).
Attempts are made to resettle project-affected person in groups so as to maintain their social life. The relocation sites are provided with living amenities like approach road, internal roads, drinking water facilities, electrification etc, apart from several civic amenities22 prescribed by the Tribunal. Other services like registration in electoral rolls, issuance of ration card, accessibility to co-operative societies, and vocational training are also being given.
The soil and the climatic conditions of these three regions distinctly vary and hence influence the cropping pattern. In Saurashtra and Kachchh regions, crop yields are poor and cattle rearing are practised to supplement the income of family. The pastures here have coarse grasses with poor yield, resulting in uncontrolled grazing leading to increased desertification. A common feature of the entire command is that the precipitation (in total quantity and distribution) varies greatly from year to year, and the entire crops suffer as a result of moisture stress.
The farmers in the command are industrious, progressive, enterprising and commercially oriented, although the agricultural economy without SSP was mostly dependent upon vagaries of monsoon. Compared to other states, farmers here are advanced in use of fertilisers, pesticides, and adoption of high yield varieties. The command area has welldeveloped co-operative sector and also has financing institutions such as Land Development Bank, Nationalised Banks, Agricultural Financing Co-operations etc. The area also has very good network of transport and communication services, and also possibilities for growth of marketing and storage facilities needed for deriving optimum benefit of agricultural production under irrigated system of SSP.
population over 35 million by the year 2021.
All the three beneficiary states coming under western region will get additional advantage from the fact that the SSP will provide peaking benefits in the power starved western region. Besides, in comparison to the available alternate source of power generation, the power produced at SSP is totally free from air pollution 37 and is environment friendly. In financial terms, the capital cost of power complex – at about Rs. 4.175 crore per Mega Watt38 – is significantly less than the available alternatives of thermal or nuclear power plants.
Out of 9.00 MAF of Gujarat's share in Narmada water, about 0.20 MAF of water will be used for the industrial purpose. This share is expected to benefit industries in petroleum sector, chemical and fertiliser sector, and thermal power stations. About 671 million litre per day is planned to be supplied to industries that are coming up in Jamnagar, Bhavnagar, Kachchh, Sabarkantha, Panchmahal, and Ahemedabad districts, and to the ports located on Saurashtra and Kachchh coastlines. The water to the industries is likely to be made available at such rates that may help the government to implement cross subsidization of the domestic sector by the industrial sector.
The rivers Tapi and Narmada are the only two perennial rivers of Gujarat, while all others bring water during monsoon only. Even in case of Narmada and Tapi, seasonal variation in discharge is very high with almost 90% of annual flow occurring during monsoon months. Peculiar to Gujarat, the floods of high magnitude occur at somewhat long intervals, frequently intervened by long spells of droughts.
Another feature of these rivers is that they bring flash floods without sufficient warning. They also bring huge amount of silt, which gets deposited at river mouths causing additional rise in water levels (GID, 1980).
The entire command of SSP in Rajasthan is drought prone. The share of Narmada water will benefit the farmers of Rajasthan with accumulated holding of 73,157 hectares of land in the districts of Jalore and Barmer. With a gross command area of 1,42,020 hectares, the irrigation benefit will be spread over 89 villages (74 in Jalore district, and 15 in Barmer district). The SSP will also provide drinking water to a population of about 3.0 lacs living in 124 villages around the irrigation canal .
Gujarat has a very large segment of population dependent upon cattle for livelihood. On account of periodic scarcity and drought conditions in Gujarat, the position of fodder and drinking water becomes acute for the large number of cattle and livestock. It may be pointed out that before partitioning of the country and creation of Pakistan, people with their cattle used to migrate to adjoining territory of Sind (now in Pakistan) during periods of drought (GID, 1980). But, in the past may decades the drought situation has caused people to abandon their cattle and livestock to die of hunger and thirst. The Narmada water, which is expected to reach far-off comers of Gujarat, will resolve the problem of fodder and water for the cattle and other livestock of the region.
maximum length along the river of about 214 kms and maximum width of about 16 kms. Parts of Broach, Baroda and Narmada districts in Gujarat, West Khandesh district in Maharashtra, and Jhabua, Dhar and West Nimar districts in Madhya Pradesh are affected by submergence. The gorge is narrow and water spread is confined mainly to the river portion for a fairly long reach, about 113 kms immediately upstream of the dam and about 32 kms in the tail portion of the reservoir . The submergence caused by SSP is expected to affect about 13,385 hectares of forest cover, maximum (about 48.5%) being in Maharashtra, followed by Gujarat (about 31%) and Madhya Pradesh (about 20.5%) A good proportion of the forest going in submergence is degraded, and no part of it can be considered virgin. Though a substantial proportion of flora will also be lost and a great variety of fauna will be drowned or displaced, no known endangered species of theirs is affected. No deposits of known important minerals are undergoing submergence. Other than few temples of prominence, no important archaeological monuments are getting submerged.
of nine seismograph stations in the vicinity and around the reservoir periphery have also been established for monitoring the seismicity of project area.
viz. Barking Deer, Four Homed Antelope, Slothbear, Giant Squirrel, Grey Hombill, Grey. Jungle Fowl etc.
Maharashtra in 1989 and later spread to include 150 affiliates in other parts of India. It organized village committees in various areas of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra that would be affected by Sardar Sarovar and other dams on the Narmada, and succeeded in maintaining a coalition between adivasis in Maharashtra and western Madhya Pradesh and members of the landowning Patidar caste in the plains.
It registered its opposition to the Narmada Project on human rights and environmental grounds and staged a series of demonstrations and road blockades against its continuation.
neocolonialism through its financing of the Project. In May 1994, Narmada Bachao Andolan sued in the Supreme Court of India to restrain further construction, technically by asking the question of whether the terms of the NWDT Award and related agreements regarding resettlement were being carried outvi. The apex Court responded in January 1995 with a stay order restricting construction of the Sardar Sarovar Dam which has already-attained 80.5 meter (263.3 feet) height for five years to provide additional time for resettling oustees.
been multiple agencies authorized to carry out the necessary tasks, violation of rights of people and environmental pre-conditions continues with impunity. This is the situation in a project monitored by the Supreme Court of India. When responsible and accountable government institutions and agencies fail to be faithful in reporting to the Supreme Court, the affected people have no way of realizing their rights and entitlements.
after the February 1999 decision to permit raising the Sardar Sarovar Dam from 80.3 to 85 meters (278.8 feet). NBA was unhappy to see the project given new life, pro-dam opinion was unhappy to see that the height was short of the 110 meters (360.8 feet) needed to create a reservoir high enough to fill the canal. It became clearer in October 2000 when a three-member benchvii of the Indian Supreme Court ruled on the case Narmada Bachao Andolan v.Union of India and Others.viii In a two-to-one decision, it invoked the common law doctrine of latches to rule that the NBA had failed to raise its objections in a timely manner, that the Court was not going to review issues related to design of the Sardar Sarovar Dam itself but only the fundamental rights of the oustees guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India, and reminded the parties that the decision of a Water Disputes Tribunal (WDT) could not be challenged by private parties once it became binding on the states involved.
The decision rejected NBA claims that the Ministry of Environment and Forests decision to grant conditional clearance of the project in 1987 was itself a violation of Article 21 because it was taken on political grounds rather than after taking full account of the environmental impacts.
Sardar Sarovar is a classic example of a development project which id deemed to be in the "nations interest". The justification of this project is thatit will bring enormous benefit to millions, whilst displacing relatively few people.
It will bring drinking waterto about 40 million people living in the drought prone regions of Gujarat. As well it will bring irrigation facilities to a vast area within Gujarat and 2 districts in Rajasthan, increasing expected net value of their agricultural production sixfold.
These justifications are couched in the utilitarian terms of balancing the needs of the many against those of a few. Moreover, even the discomfort of the few is seen tobe minimal according to many project proponents. The majority of people to be displaced by this project "are tribal people whose lands are said to consist of steep, rocky and degraded forests". It is possible that development-induced environmental displacement could be justified in certain cases where the people to be displaced were properly consulted beforehand, and then sufficiently compensated in ways acceptable to them. This justification entails an implicit moral responsibility on the part of states and international institutions to ensure the proper compensation of people displaced as a result of development initiatives.
It cannot be said that the Sardar Sarovar Dam is a case wherein all the victims are fully compensated, let alone a case wherein the different social groups are equally sharing in the cats and the benefits of the project. Rather, it is the most vulnerable social groups which are disproportionately carrying the burdens through loss of land and culture.
It is also disputable whether or not the development project can even be said to be in the public interest. The project will submerge fertile valley land so as to irrigate a larger area of less fertile land elsewhere. It will potentially cause waterlogging and increase soil salinity. It will provide ideal sites for malaria-carrying mosquitoes to breed, causing potential health problems, and submerge a vast area of forest at a time when forest conservation is an acknowledged priority. In addition, it is questionable as to whether the dam can provide the amount of hydroelectricity which proponents suggest.
or to the same degree, in general, the dam project substantially affected people's economic livelihoods, their culture and their health. As a result, it seems highly unlikely that these environmentally displaced people, even with the aid of the resettlement scheme, will be fully rehabilitated to the standard of living which they were enjoying prior to the development project.
There are the "oustees," i.e. those who are being outright evicted to make way for the dam project. Included in this category are those who are not formally recognized as "Project Affected Persons," since they are being evicted to make way for the canal system, rather than the reservoir. There are those who are being displaced as a result of losing a part of the environmental resources upon which they depend for their livelihood.
Many of these people are also victimizedin terms of their cultural well-being. Perhaps the most important means of cultural victimization is the policy stance taken by both the state of Maharashtra and the state of Madhya Pradesh. "Oustees" have the choice of being resettled within their own state, but for many there is very little in the way of a real choice. Most "oustees" in these two states would be considered landless oustees (eligible only for a houselot) because they hold no legal title to land. However, in the state of Gujarat they would be given a minimum of 2 hectares of land. Also, the state of Gujarat has more land available in larger sections, allowing for the potential of at least some families or community groups to resettle together worse. However, in cultural terms, resettling in Gujarat is a loss. For many it would mean moving away from other important family and other social ties. As well, language would become even more of a barrier, since few tribal men and no tribal women know languages other than their own and even then it would be only the official language of the state that they live in.
The physical and psychological wellbeing of all of those who experienced a drop in the standard of their living would potentially be threatened as a result of the resettlement process. As discussed earlier, the loss of one's culture, place, and economic security would certainly affect psychological well-being. And in many cases, even a temporary drop in economic livelihood could result in a loss of access to an adequate and nutritious diet, which would especially affect the health of the very young. Stress and anxiety which would result simply from the anticipation of having to move could quite possibly have both physical and psychological affects.
After examining current status of the project on the benefits as per official data the argument is always in favour of the Sardar Sarovar Project as the benefits are so large that they substantially preponderate over the costs of the immediate human and environmental disruption. Without the dam, the long term costs for people would be much greater and lack of an income source for future generations would put increasing pressure on the environment. If the waters of the Narmada River continue to flow to the sea unutilized, then there appears to be no alternative to escalating human deprivation, particularly in the dry areas of Gujarat and Rajasthan. The Project has the potential to feed 20 million people, supply domestic and industrial water to 30 million, and provide employment to more than 1 million.
Apart from the above benefits it provides valuable peak electricity in areas with high unmet power demand. Gujarat has received Rs 4,887 crores and Rajasthan has received Rs 625 crores under the Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme from 1996 to 2008 from the Central Government for the Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP) command area for creation of the canal network which is lagging behind.
However the drinking water benefits of the SSP have always been presented as a strong argument in its favor, whenever it was gripped by controversy. The government of Gujarat also planned to generate solar power by placing solar panels over the canal, and making it beneficial for the surrounding villages to get power and to reduce the evaporation of water. The Narmada Basin hydro-meteorological (hydromet) network for forecasting flood and reservoir operation is another important project component.
The dam will also irrigate 17,920 km2 (6,920 sq. mi) of land spread over 12 districts, 62 talukas and 3393 villages (75% of which are drought-prone areas) in Gujarat and 730 km2 (280 sq. mi) in the arid areas of Barmer and Jalore districts of Rajasthan. The dam will also provide flood protection to riverine reaches measuring 30,000 ha (74,000 acres) covering 210 villages and Bharuch city and a population of 400,000 in Gujarat.
Overall the Sardar Sarovar dam has faced much controversy. The project has been disputed between state governments and has invited even the concern of the activists.
Like any big dam, it has the problems related to rehabilitation and the division of benefits equally among stakeholders. A dam of this magnitude needs land, which means displacement of thousands of families and disrupting the ecology of the land according to the activists who have been campaigning for the rights of tribals and farmers.
However, the benefits derived from this dam are far off on a different level as it provides irrigation to over 18.45 lac ha. of land. A special allocation of 0.86 MAFof water has been made to provide drinking water to 131 urban centres and9633 villages within and outside Gujarat for a population of 28million. The power generated from the canal house will be distributed among the three states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. It will also provide flood protection for riverine reaches measuring 30000 ha covering 210 villages and Bharuch city. Annual additional agricultural production would be Rs. 1600 crores, power generation and water supply Rs.175 crores aggregating to about Rs. 2175 crores every year.
The site of the dam also provides much opportunities from students all over the country to visit and study the engineering marvel along with the statue of unity which is to be the tallest statue in the world. This may also lead to upgrade in the tourism sector of the country.
With the current degradation of the economy of the country such structures which benefits the country are very much needed in times like these. Since most of India's population derives their income from agriculture, this project has proved to be a saviour in areas where droughts are prominent.

I love this! I will prop up MONSTROUS BEAUTY, THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE, and LIKE MANDARIN.
I love both MONSTROUS BEAUTY and THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE! Obviously I need to read LIKE MANDARIN soon, because I adore WANDERLOVE. Great choices, Rebecca!
WOW Katy– love it. Love the message, love his style, and LOVE the reminder to share good books we adore. I will be propping a book tomorrow during What's Up Wednesday. Woot.
Daniel is fantastic, right? I'm going to start following his You Tube channel. 🙂 I can't wait to see what book you prop tomorrow, Kat!
What a great video! You know, not to bash TWILIGHT, but I still maintain it only became so popular because of a really smart marketing campaign. I think when people started to take notice of that black and white cover with the apple, the publisher used that to build the hype. A smart move on their part, but I wish other better books would receive the same kind of attention.
I book prop WHAT HAPPENS NEXT by Colleen Clayton to almost everybody. I think you'd LOVE it. Similar to SAVING JUNE, with a cute boy who bakes, and a mom and little brother who are totally in the picture, Katy, you would love Sid and her friends. 🙂 It is also a readalike for SPEAK.
I also do a ton of word-of-mouth marketing for books I love but don't get hype ALL THE TIME. I spend waaay too much time in B&N or the local indies and I watch a lot of customers walk out with my suggestions. It's a damn shame that no one is hiring right now… I'm helping their sales, LOL!
Thanks for the props, Katy!


It's almost time for pitchers and catchers to report to spring training (that day is officially tomorrow, February 14), but there has been a flurry of news over the past few days that is very pertinent to Blue Jays fans.
The most poignant of these is the announcement by the Toronto Blue Jays that they would honour the late Roy Halladay by retiring his number 32 on Opening Day of 2018 in addition to wearing a patch with his number 32 throughout the season.
The Blue Jays are showing a ton of class by honouring the legacy of this great pitcher and, by all accounts, a great man. The tribute to Halladay at WinterFest in January was very well done and this is another gesture by the club. 32 will be the second number retired by the Blue Jays following the retirement of Roberto Alomar's number 12 after he was elected to the Hall of Fame.
Speaking of retirements, Jerry Howarth announced his retirement from the radio after 36 seasons with the Blue Jays. Citing issues affecting his voice, his health and stamina, Howarth decided to hang it up after working in baseball broadcasting since 1974. Howarth made the announcement on the Jeff Blair show on Sportsnet Radio The Fan 590 (with Blair reading Howarth's statement) this morning.
The question now is who replaces Jerry? Will the Jays go with the waiting-in-the-wings Mike Wilner? Or do they cast the net further afield?
The Blue Jays have also made a few minor league signings, bringing in Canadian John Axford, lefty Craig Breslow, lefty Matt Tracy and righty Jake Petricka to minor league deals with invitations to major league spring training.
Petricka has parts of five big league seasons on his resume, all with the Chicago White Sox between 2013 and 2017. The 29 year old has a cumulative 3.84 ERA and 1.49 WHIP over 178 innings in that span, pitching extremely well over the 2014 and 2015 seasons as a regular bullpen arm. He only threw eight innings in 2016 due to a hip injury and last year, he struggled (with a 7.01 ERA in 25 2/3 innings with the White Sox) and underwent elbow surgery (specifically a nerve transposition and flexor tendon Debridement procedure, according to MLB Trade Rumors). He was non-tendered by the White Sox and signed to a minor league deal with an invite to major league spring training. The contract includes $500 in incentives with a $1.3 million base salary if he's on the big league team.
The deal with Craig Breslow is a similar deal to Petricka, featuring a $1.25 million base salary, other incentives are in the deal as well as an opt-out near the end of spring training. Breslow, 37, has pitched in the majors for parts of 12 seasons with a 3.45 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 211 innings. He's pitched with San Diego, Boston, Cleveland, Minnesota, Oakland, and Arizona and split last year between Minnesota and Cleveland. It was noted that injuries in Minnesota forced the Twins to use Breslow against more righthanded hitters than he should have seen and his ERA was elevated because righties "clobbered him" at a .330/.393/.542 slash line despite holding lefties to a .196/.294/.286 line.
The Jays signed Simcoe, Ontario native John Axford to a deal. The righty, who will turn 35 on April 1, has been trying to come back to the dominance he enjoyed with the Milwaukee Brwers early in the decade. He led the NL in saves in 2011 with 46 and a 1.95 ERA and 1.14 WHIP that season and despite striking out 93 batters in 69 1/3 innings in 2012, his numbers started to slide in the wrong direction as his ERA jumped to 4.67 and WHIP jumped to 1.44. Since then, Axford has bounced around to St. Louis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Colorado and Oakland, where he spent the past two seasons, with a cumulative 4.57 ERA and 1.60 WHIP, striking out 81 and walking 47 in 86 2/3 innings. Released on July 30 by Oakland last year, Axford is attempting to return to the majors with his hometown team.
Finally, in the least-publicized signing, it appears that the Blue Jays are going to sign lefty Matt Tracy to a minor league deal, according to Chris Cotillo (although the Jays haven't announced it officially yet).
Ex-Yankees LHP Matt Tracy has a minor-league deal with the Blue Jays.
Tracy, 29, was drafted by the Yankees in the 24th round of the 2011 draft and made one appearances with the Yankees in 2015, giving up three runs (none earned) in two innings of work, walking two and striking out one. Tracy looks like he was injured and only appeared in 18 games last year after joining the Minnesota Twins on a minor league deal. In 62 1/3 innings (including nine starts) with the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts, he posted a 4.04 ERA, 1.36 WHIP with 53 strikeouts and 22 walks. In Triple-A Rochester, he struggled with 15 runs against him in 17 2/3 innings, striking out 15 and walking eight.
My feeling is that Axford, Petricka and Breslow will all have legitimate shots at breaking camp with the Blue Jays while Tracy (who we don't know yet if he's been given an invite to big league camp) is almost certainly headed for Buffalo or New Hampshire.

Corazón y realidad [Heart and Reality] is a portrait, told in the first person singular, of the art world in a city of the new millennium that turns out to be Buenos Aires. The appearance of magazines, parties, meeting places and publishing companies run by artists like ramona, Proyecto Venus and Eloísa Cartonera; the repercussions of the crisis of December 2001; the dreams of grandeur and the outlines of a new institutional infrastructure that came with the subsequent economic recovery; the feelings of guilt, euphoria and depression. With its combination of exhaustive research and autobiographical murmuring (from one of the most active critics of the time and place), this narrative made up of eight inspiring essays tells the bifurcated history of Argentinian art with its program of international updating, analyses the re-emergence of political art and professionalization as rhetoric, and speaks of biennial hearts… This book provides a mirror where it is possible to reflect and question many other stories, many other contexts and cities, in a half-lit narrative in which one can easily recognise oneself.

Cranes, concrete and contractors: New Vikings stadium 23 percent complete
BMTN Staff
Construction of the new Vikings stadium is nearly a quarter complete.
Team officials gave media outlets a hard-hat tour of the Downtown East site Monday, allowing reporters on the grounds for the first time since construction began in January.
The project is about 23 percent complete at this point, FOX 9 reports, and on track to be open for the start of the 2016 NFL season.
The timeline is tight though. Construction manager Dave Mansell told the Star Tribune there isn't much room for a delay, and a 4-D computer modeling tool that visualizes day-to-day progress helps keep things on schedule.
About 650 workers are on the site each day, with crews working from early morning until about 1 a.m. every night, WCCO reports.
Currently, a 740,000-pound piece of steel sits on the large patch of dirt that will eventually become a football field, MPR reports. The gargantuan segment is part of the main roof truss, and will be lifted into place next month via a large crane.
That machinery is the largest of the 13 cranes on site, with a couple more scheduled to come to the site over the next six months, the Pioneer Press reports.
For photos and video of the construction as of Monday, make sure to check out each link. The news organizations published plenty of images.
You can see live video from the construction site here.
Last week, the Vikings announced the first precast concrete was installed in the stadium.
The team has not opted to add bird-safe glass to the towering structure (while increasing spending in other places), despite many calls to do so over concerns about the number of birds who may die crashing into the clear glass.
But in a weekend editorial, the Star Tribune said to keep the deaths in perspective, arguing many other things – pesticides, power lines, motor vehicles and habitat destruction for example – kill so many birds a year, the stadium won't have a significant impact on the population.

This creamy avocado and cilantro dip makes a wonderful faux guacamole dip because it's creamy and not too harsh. There are no raw onions or raw garlic to contend with, no tomatoes to chop, so it's the perfect substitute if you're short on time or ingredients. You can throw this together very quickly and season it to fit your taste.
To put this together, I used two organic ripe avocados, cut in half and pitted. Sometimes you get the perfect avocado, like below. Beautiful!
Chop the avocados, put them in a bowl and mash and stir with a fork. I added sea salt and organic garlic powder, to taste. I also added about 1/2 cup of organic sour cream. Again, you can add more or less, depending on how creamy you want your dip.
And finally, I added about 1/4 cup of organic cilantro and stirred that in. I love cilantro. Sigh.
You can eat this dip immediately, or chill for a few hours, if you have time. I find the flavors intensify if you let it chill for a bit. Either way, serve this up in place of guacamole or as a dip for chips, crackers, or veggies.
Creamy Avocado And Cilantro Dip.
Cut avocados in half lengthwise, remove pit, scoop out avocado meat and chop.
Add chopped avocado to a medium mixing bowl. Mash and stir with a fork.
Add sea salt and organic garlic powder, to taste. Stir.
Add ½ cup of organic sour cream, stir and taste. Season again, if needed.
Add ¼ cup cilantro and stir.

India: Congress Party Reaches Deals To Form New Government
May 17, 2004 14:21 GMT
By Ron Synovitz
The Congress Party of India says it obtained assurances from allies and communist legislators during the weekend that will allow Sonia Gandhi to be sworn in as prime minister as soon as this week (19 May). RFE/RL takes a closer look at the latest political developments in the world's largest democracy.
Prague, 17 May 2004 (RFE/RL) -- Officials from India's National Congress Party say they expect Sonia Gandhi to be sworn in as prime minister as soon as 19 May, following announcements by communist legislators that they will support her from outside of a governing coalition.
Manmohan Singh, a senior official in the Congress Party, said Gandhi obtained letters of support during the weekend from enough parliamentary groups to ensure the necessary backing of more than half of India's 545-seat lower house of parliament. "Once the [lower house of parliament] has been formally constituted, the constitutional process will start and everything will go smoothly," he said.
Despite declines in financial markets, most market analysts see the modernization of the Indian economy as largely unstoppable.
But already, some of Gandhi's supporters say the decision by communist legislators not to be part of the government could represent a setback. Among them is the noted Indian scholar Nirmala Deshpande. "If [the communists] had been a part of the government, they could have worked more," she said. "They have given support from outside. We are happy. But it's not enough."
Despite the Congress Party's surprise election victory last week against the governing Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Gandhi still needs support from about 60 communist legislators to ensure backing from a majority of the parliament.
The largest communist group in the legislature is the Communist Party of India (Marxist). Its secretary-general, Somnath Chatterjee, announced today that although the party will support a cabinet led by Gandhi, it will not take any posts in the new cabinet nor consider itself part of the governing coalition. "We are not joining the government," he said.
Political analysts in New Delhi say it is common for Indian parliamentary groups to support a government from outside of a coalition. In such cases, legislators often side with the governing coalition on critical issues like a vote of confidence. But they also keep a distance because of specific issues where their political platforms differ significantly.
India's communists, who have their own economic agenda, oppose some privatization plans and other economic reforms supported by the Congress Party. In some parts of India, communist politicians are in direct opposition to members of the Congress Party.
Singh said the new government led by his Congress Party will be "both pro-growth and pro-trade." Singh was the architect of a series of reforms introduced in India in 1991 that are still being implemented today. He said that India's stock markets should find stability in the new government's policies.
Those remarks appeared to be aimed at calming the concerns of investors, who have seen India's main stock-exchange index and currency markets tumble since the results of the elections were announced last week. A plunge in share prices today was the second-largest drop in the history of the Bombay index. Trading was temporarily halted by an automatic mechanism after the main index fell 11 percent within minutes of the start of trading. And when trading resumed, the index continued to fall on fears that the communist influence on the cabinet could delay reforms. Trading was suspended again for two hours when those losses continued to plunge for a total of more than 15 percent for the day.
Despite those declines in financial markets, most market analysts see the modernization of the Indian economy as largely unstoppable. Sanjeev Sanyal, a senior economist at Deutsche Bank, said he expects the reform process to continue in the same direction as in the past 10 years. He said that if the new government comes up with a credible economic program and a credible economic management team, today's share price declines will represent a buying opportunity for investors. As a result, he said, investors are closely monitoring the remarks of Gandhi's political allies to get a sense of future policy directions.
Gandhi over the weekend told a gathering of Congress Party parliamentarians that the new government will be "strong and stable" and dedicated to the promotion of social harmony.
Meanwhile, some political observers warn that continued friction between Gandhi and the outgoing Hindu nationalists in the BJP could affect peace talks with officials in neighboring Pakistan. Pakistani Foreign Minister Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri last week called for the new Indian government to continue consultations with Islamabad in order to resolve the decades-old dispute between their countries over divided Jammu and Kashmir.
"Pakistan looks forward to seriously and closely engaging with the next government in India to promote this process of peace and resolution of differences and disputes, including the issue of Jammu and Kashmir. We in Pakistan are very sincere in carrying forward the peace process already initiated and sincerely hope the next government in India will join us in this endeavor so that this historic opportunity for peace in South Asia is not missed." Kasuri said.
But some political observers conclude that pressure from Hindu hard-liners could make it more difficult for Gandhi to negotiate and convince the Indian people to make the kind of concessions that Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf is seeking to resolve the conflict over the disputed territory.

Thanks to /u/devoz, /u/distillasian, /u/neversafeforlife, /u/xile_, and /u/whiskylads for the swaps.
Oh, and this is my 500th Scotch review. So I'll take my crown please.
A lot of people here have been in the situation that Bruichladdich must have been prior to releasing Octomore.
There they are, making a living on Islay, surrounded by history and distilleries that make the most peated whisky out there. And they make only lightly peated fair.
Sure, Bunnahabhain is there too, but they are small, and kooky. They have their own thing. Not to mention every-so-often they make a nicely peated dram.
That leaves Bruichladdich, sitting there, drinking, finishing their whiskies, plotting.
And one night of said drinking, they snapped.

BEAU – An Original Thought
Cherry Red 2016
BEAU –
An Original Thought
Sarcasm aplenty, silk-voiced singer-songwriter sculpts optimistic outlook at the world that's no lost cause.
Given his nom de guerre and this record's title, Trevor Midgley may seem a braggart, but the veteran artist's weapon has always been his irony, and that's why the gloom of Beau's creations is so alluring. Less caustic than on 2015's "Shoeless In The Desert" which established "an album a year" pattern after "Fly The Bluebird" had brought his romanticism to modern audience, not for nothing Midgley's wrapping up the 13-track cycle with the folky "Hope" and its unapologetic "don't correct me if I'm wrong, just close your eyes and sing along" passage. Trevor can only wish for the Orwellian vision of the title track to never come true, although it's Kafka he's referring to in "Skeletons Dance" before unleashing scorn on politics and press – those who contort the very same freedom of speech.
Various in mood, most pieces are even temperament-wise, if not in tempo, yet the strum of Beau's 12-string and his smooth voice create all the tension the songs need – especially when it's Midgley's customary nautical piece, the tragic "Longhope" telling a real-life story now – which makes the Machiavellian blow of "The Patriot" so hard. So while Trevor is going to "apply for compassionate leave," he doesn't reserve any sympathy for TV preachers in "The Thinking Of God" and leaves it for "Everything's Possible" that's dedicated to inventors, the genuine progress movers. Still, it's not all high-level musings because, in the end, any narrative – as suggested in "Something Of A Loner" – boils down to an average person, what with the artist focusing on his great-aunt in "Mary Huddleston" to get a handle of a one-way journey as a social tendency of both past and the future.
Hence the hope for the cyclical evolution to break from this mortal coil on a positive note, and if that's not on original thought, it's one we should often be reminded of.

Our Drawdown Governance Service tracks clients' plans against an income sustainability score and provides advisers with a robust drawdown review process.
We now have over 18,000 plans in the service and this data set allows us to understand much more about how advisers are managing client drawdown plans and to identify any emerging trends.
A key metric is average withdrawal rates and as you might expect there is no "one size fits all". Drawdown customers at age 55-60 have a median withdrawal rate of 6%, whilst older customers at age 70-75 have a higher withdrawal rate of 7.6%. This is expected - as drawdown pots reduce through income withdrawal, the same amount of income will become a larger proportion of the remaining pot.
There are a small number of customers within the younger age groups with very high withdrawal rates. The effect decreases as age increases, meaning that at the older age groups we find less customers taking a very high income. These findings are in line with our view that there are a number of younger customers who will be happy to run down their pot and are most likely to have other income sources which they intend to use over the longer term.
There has been much debate in the industry on what a safe withdrawal rate looks like and various studies over the years have pointed towards 4% being considered a sustainable level of income. Our view is that individual circumstances will mean that it will be different for everyone. The real issue for advisers is how to set realistic expectations with clients in terms of what a sustainable level of income looks like and how it might change in the future.
Everyone's needs and circumstances are different but typically a sustainable income will depend on a number of factors such as how much you have saved, how long you want to take income for, what charges you are paying and any investment growth you have received. Some of these factors will have a bigger impact than others, for example the shorter the term, the lower the income you want to take, the lower the charges and the higher the growth then the more likely it is that your income will be sustainable.
Since the launch of the Drawdown Governance Service in 2016, we have seen the proportion of plans with a sustainability score of less than 50% fall by about 7.5% (63% to 56%). This means conversely we have seen the proportion of plans which have a greater than 50% sustainability score increase by the same amount. In particular, the proportion of plans with an income sustainability score of at least 75% has increased by almost 8% (from 28% to 36%).
It is worth noting that charges will have an impact on income sustainability and should always be considered. For example, a client with a £100,000 pot taking annual income of £5,000 on a monthly basis could see his pot reduce by up to one third if he were to pay an additional 1% pa.
Royal London is a key player in the income drawdown market and we offer a range of retirement planning tools to help advisers understand client goals, sustainability of income and the suitability of their investment choice. If you would like to hear more about the support we can offer please contact your usual Sales Consultant or visit our tools and support section.

TRAUMA HEALERS
By sb12020 on May 5, 2021 in Beyond Brooklyn
TRAUMA HEALERS debuts with images by Chuck Bigger
TRAUMA HEALERS, an hour-long documentary, focusing on healing and prevention of traumatic orthopedic injuries in low resource countries, premieres on national public television, May 4, 2021, and will air in NYC on WNET with a time to be announced.
Produced by two award-winning filmmakers, Patricia Fraley of Cincinnati, OH, and Robert Parish of Portland, Oregon — TRAUMA HEALERS explores the prevalence and impact of road traffic accident injuries in parts of the world that have been underserved for decades.
The TRAUMA HEALERS' story is told through interviews with world-renowned experts, U.S. and international orthopedic surgeons, as well as trauma survivors. Their global view is enhanced by collaboration with world-traveling filmmakers and photographers, most notably independent photographer and filmmaker Chuck Bigger, of Colorado Springs, CO.
Trauma Healers Trailer featuring images by Chuck Bigger
TRAUMA HEALERS focuses on the "silent epidemic" of road traffic accidents in low-resource countries. The World Health Organization's 2018 Global Status on Road Safety reveals that an estimated 1.35 million people are killed in traffic accidents every year. These accidents are the leading cause of death for children and young adults, ages five-29. Additionally, 20 to 50 million world citizens suffer injuries from road traffic accidents, with many requiring surgical care to avoid disability.
In low-resource countries, receiving adequate trauma care is often prohibitive. Insufficient resources,including lack of electricity, make it challenging for surgeons to utilize Western treatments and technology. Accident victims are expected to cover the costs for treatments in advance. Many lack the resources to pay for surgical and rehabilitative care.
Thousands of surgeons around the world have made a commitment to working with the poor, often providing free surgeries and intramedullary nail implants, allowing the injured to return to productive lives in their communities. Given the global focus on the infectious diseases prevalent in many low resource countries, this surgical work receives far less attention.
Providing important perspective are four physicians connected with the Harvard Program in Global Surgery and Social Change and Partners inHealth, based in Boston, MA: John Meara, M.D., George Dyer, M.D., Kee B. Park, M.D. and Robert Riviello, M.D.
TRAUMA HEALERS also focuses on the pioneering work of Vietnam veteran Lewis G. Zirkle, M.D.who founded a non-profit organization called SIGN Fracture Care International in 1999. Based in Richland, WA, SIGN manufactures orthopedic implants and offers free hands-on training to international surgeons. During the past 20 years, SIGN surgeons in 54 countries have successfully treated nearly 350,000 patients at no cost.

> Insider Insights > What do SMEs really want from their bank?
What do SMEs really want from their bank?
Widespread dissatisfaction among British businesses with the service on offer from their banks could see a major overhaul in the market, with more variation and options to suit their needs.
Nearly two-thirds of businesses do not agree that their bank has a good understanding of their business and four in five say that their bank drags its heels when it comes to guiding them towards the best account for their money. However, 37% say that they avoid exploring alternatives because they are nervous about damaging their relationship with their bank.
UK banks have been accused of creating stagnant monopolies, and are under pressure to break into smaller entities to make the market more competitive, with better options for consumers.
Lloyds recently carved off TSB into a separate high street bank, while RBS is preparing to create the independent lender Williams and Glynn, both at costs of billions of pounds.
However, challenger banks such as Virgin Money and the Yorkshire Building Society (YBS) say that customers are still "sleepwalking" into holding accounts with the biggest banks, and are calling for the Competition Markets Authority (CMA) to divide up the "Big Five" in order to create more, smaller challenger banks to boost competition.
So, what do SMEs actually look for in a bank? According to Standard Chartered, it's all about making their businesses faster, cheaper and better. A big part of this is offering a greater number of digital and mobile solutions that allow company owners to do more on the move. These channels need to be well-integrated for a "seamless experience," they add.
For banks that get it right, the rewards are huge. SMEs employ 60% of private sector workers and collectively turn over as much as their big-business counterparts. What's more, says Accenture, SMEs are often "fiercely loyal" and so, once they find a bank that works for them, they'll stay. Now that challenger banks and alternative finance firms are nibbling away at the market, the Big Five will have to shake of their complacency and work hard to win smaller businesses over from the start.
In the US, alternative firms are beginning to gain traction. They are also working with banks as partners, taking deals that banks will not do and supplying operating and risk platforms to give banks great productivity and allow them to complete more transactions. Small businesses want to be know they can borrow money, even if they never intend to do so.


Latham-Sister Mary Brendan Gilleran, CSJ, died Monday, January 21, 2019, at St. Joseph's Provincial House, Latham. She had been a Sister of St. Joseph of Carondelet for the past 69 years.
Sister Mary Brendan, the former Margaret Theresa Gilleran, was born in Albany, NY, on May 8, 1930, daughter of the late James and Mary Hession Gilleran. After graduating from Vincentian Institute in Albany, she entered the novitiate of the Sisters of St. Joseph on March 19, 1950 and professed final vows on August 15, 1957. Sister Mary Brendan received a bachelor's degree in nursing from The College of Saint Rose and a master's degree in nursing education from St. John's University. In addition, she completed a sabbatical program at Instituto de Idiomas Maryknoll in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
Sister Mary Brendan spent the first few years of her religious life as a teacher at St. Lucy's Academy, Syracuse, and then began her career in the healthcare ministry. For 23 years, she served at St. Mary's Hospital (St. Mary's Healthcare), Amsterdam, as staff nurse, instructor, director of nursing service, nursing clinical coordinator and project director of the "new" St. Mary's Hospital. Upon completion of the hospital, Sister Mary Brendan continued her ministry in health care as administrator of Bethany Center in Boston; supervising home-health nurse for Catholic Family Community Services in Herkimer; and public health nurse for Oneida County. In addition, Sister Mary Brendan served the Sisters of St. Joseph as supervisor of the Sisters' Infirmary at the Provincial House and as regional superior. Upon her retirement, she returned to St. Mary's Healthcare where she volunteered for 11 years before moving to the Provincial House.
As the daughter of Irish immigrants from Roscommon and Galway, Sister Mary Brendan was proud of her heritage, especially its focus on abiding faith, strong family ties and dedication to hard work. In her ministry in the healthcare field, she considered it an honor to bring the healing love of Jesus to those in need. In her many leadership roles, Sister Mary Brendan exhibited innate gifts for organization, multitasking, active listening and treating all with dignity, respect and kindness. In her leisure time, she enjoyed nature and reflecting on the beauty of God's creation while bicycling, tenting and hiking in the Adirondacks. Sister Mary Brendan had a grace, charm and wit that bespoke her Irish legacy and a goodness of spirit that naturally drew people to her. She will be dearly missed.
Sister Mary Brendan is survived by her brothers-in-law, Frank With and John Telfer; her nieces and nephews: Margaret With Chevalier, Catherine With, James With, Thomas With, Peter With, John Telfer and Joseph Telfer, and their families; and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, with special mention of her beloved friend, Sister Karen Shults. In addition to her parents, Sister Mary Brendan was predeceased by her two sisters, Anna Mary Gilleran With and Nora Gilleran Telfer.
Sister Mary Brendan's wake will be held at St. Joseph's Provincial House on Thursday, January 24, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. with the prayer service at 7:00 p.m. The Mass of Christian Burial will be at the Provincial House on Friday, January 25, at 10:30 a.m. Donations in Sister Mary Brendan's memory may be made to the Development Office, Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, 385 Watervliet-Shaker Road, Latham, New York 12110.


Could your palpitations be linked to menopause?
An irregular rhythm, missed heartbeat or more forceful and fast beat than usual can be an alarming occurrence but these palpitations are often caused by fluctuations in oestrogen levels in the course of your perimenopause.
During these palpitations it's not unusual for your heart rate to increase by between 8 and 16 beats per minute although some women have reported more. The pounding or fluttering may also be felt in your throat or neck and some women report a change in breathing and a feeling of panic or anxiety.
You may even wake with a racing heart and some women suggest that this is happening during or after a hot flush.
Generally the episodes of menopausal palpitations will last from a few seconds to a couple of minutes. These will generally cease altogether once the oestrogen levels are stable but in some women may recur from time to time.
If your palpitations are frequent and last for long periods, this is unlikely to be connected to menopause and you should see your GP without delay.
Why do oestrogen levels affect the heart?
This is to do with oestrogen's effect on the dilation of your arteries. When oestrogen levels are low they will contract and when they are high your arteries will dilate. It's the erratic fluctuations between levels that cause changes in heart rhythm.
Oestrogen levels also affect what's called the autonomic nervous system – this is the part of your nervous system that is responsible for controlling the functions you are not consciously directing such as breathing, the heartbeat and the digestive process.
Shifting levels of oestrogen will result in this system swinging from being highly stimulated to being hardly stimulated and again this has a direct impact on the regularity of your heartbeat.
Varying from woman to woman, fluctuations in oestrogen levels can go on for a long time so if these lifestyle changes are not effective you may also want to get in touch to find out about HRT.


 New specs raise questions about off-road capability of the Versys-X 300.
Arguably, one of the most exciting new Adventure Bike models for 2017 is the Kawasaki Versys-X 300. With its economical 296cc parallel-twin motor, 6-speed transmission, wire-spoked wheels and long list of touring equipment, it seems to have all the right pieces to be an excellent little overland machine. Its smaller dimensions also make it a great fit for new adventure riders or anyone just looking for a more-manageable Adventure Bike for the trail.
Small-displacement adventure-touring bikes have been one of the major trends of 2017, but Kawasaki is the only manufacturer of the bunch to offer a twin-cylinder ADV in the 250-300cc range. As a twin, the Versys-X 300 offers the promise of improved highway performance and smoothness compared to its single-cylinder counterparts. And with an MSRP starting at $5,399, it's reasonably priced in its category.
The Versys-X 300 appears to have all the bases covered for comfort and convenience, and with its wire-spoked wheels it looks ready for adventures of the off-road type. But Kawasaki's initial announcement didn't reveal some of the most important specs for those who travel off-road — suspension travel, ground clearance and seat height. All Kawasaki disclosed was that it would have a low seat height and long-travel suspension.
Kawasaki has now released the full range of specs for the 2017 Versys-X 300, giving us a clearer picture of how it may perform in the dirt. Originally, Kawasaki's European websites listed a wet weight of 370 lbs (168 kg) for the standard and 375 lbs (170 kg) for the ABS model. Kawasaki US now claims a wet weight of 385.9 lbs (175 kg). Whether the weight is for the standard or the ABS model is not clarified. Clearly, the new Versys-X 300 is no lightweight enduro but it is important to keep in mind that this is a fully-equipped adventure touring bike with windscreen, big tank, rear rack, etc.
Seat height is relatively low at 32.1 inches (81.5 cm) but it appears Kawasaki sacrificed ground clearance and suspension travel to make the seat height more approachable. Suspension travel is uninspiring at 5.1 inches (13 cm) in front and 5.8 inches (15 cm) in the rear — about half the suspension travel you get from a Honda's new CRF250L Rally. With ground clearance of 7.1 inches (18 cm), there isn't much room for maneuvering over obstacles either.
Spec sheets don't always tell the whole story though and Kawasaki may have some tricks up their sleeve that make the Versys-X 300 a capable off-road performer. But we'll only know for sure once we get an opportunity to take it out for a proper test in the coming months. Stay tuned!
I don't think many riders will take a bike like this off road – in the meaning of terrain riding, so ground clearance is not such a big factor. It will be quite ok for paved and unpaved roads, as long as the suspension keeps a certain standard – and that does not necessarily mean lots of suspension travel.
If I would do again the same type of trip like I did 2013, crossing all for Canada (26.000km) this might be my bike of choice, instead of the antique KLR650!
For an adventure bike it does quite well on easy double and single track. While it is no dual sport it did give me the confidence to take it places I never would have thought about going on the Triumph Tiger 800 I previously owned. It feels like an adventure bike, but it is really feels lighter and more agile than other adventure bikes. Even with the Heideneu tires i put on, it really likes to lean over in the corners and it corners great. I do not yet have a good feel for it on the highway as I am still breaking the motor in. My estimate is that it would be fine for shorter stints on the interstate and long stints on other highways. It is barely drinking gas during the break-in period as I am getting 72 mpg. This will change though after it is broke in but it should still be in the 60s. One short-coming is the rear end of the seat goes up making dismounts a stretching exercise for this senior rider. I have mounted hand protectors and the tank bag designed for the larger Versys. After it is broke in I plan to buy some soft luggage for the rear and do a 3 day trip in Colorado where I live.
Off road or off highway?
Any idea of top / cruising speeds? I don't expect a rocket ship but it's nice to know what speeds it can sit on comfortably all day.
Hey Bing, The Ninja 300 is reported to cruise comfortably at 80 mph on the highway with power to spare and can reach a top speed of 102 mph. The Versys-X 300 shares the same engine but has a less aerodynamic fairing and carries more weight. We'd expect a top speed in the mid 90's. We'll find out more soon when we get a chance to ride it at the official press launch.
Yes please… Any idea of top speed??? Nowhere available…???
Hi Juan – see response to Bing above. Hope that helps!
Would love 7″ of travel too, but unfortunately not everyone is 6'2″ like me. 36″ seat heights don't sell that well I'm told. The 300cc twin works pretty good though. Enough for 100+ mph on the highway. It's a versatile lil bike and sips gas.
