Can anyone stop Shadian's hill climb dominance?
AMMAN — Many of Jordan's top speedsters will be looking to end a driver's grip on one of the Middle East's most prestigious motor sporting events this Friday, according to the Jordan Motorsport Media Service.
Khatsheek Shadian has won the Al Hussein Rumman Hill Climb for the past three years, winning last year's in a rapid time of 1m49.75s to complete his hat-trick.
But, on Friday, he will face a stiff challenge from a host of Jordanian drivers who will be looking to put their name on a trophy which has been one of the most sought-after for the past 50 years.
Looking to capitalise on any slip that Shadian may make will be Husam Salem, an experienced speed test champion who finished third last year.
Wael Mustafa, Ihab Al Shurafa and Salem Tuaima are also capable of upsetting the reigning champion. Past winners of the event include His Majesty King Hussein, while the record stands at 1m48.76s, set by Lebanon's Roger Feghali in 2007.


Roatan's diverse underwater topography presents endless opportunities for great diving on all sides of the island. The diverse underwater landscape provides ample opportunities for wide angle and macro subjects alike from turtles, rays and sharks to schooling tangs to frogfish, seahorses and blennies. But there are a few dives that are very well suited to your wide angle lens. Contact us to let us help you plan the perfect dive and photography trip...so you can make sure to hit as many of the highlights as possible during your stay.
Cara Cara, the famous Shark Dive on Roatan (run by Waihuka/Wild Life on the south side), provides amazing up-close encounters with numerous Caribbean Reef Sharks.
Half Moon Bay Wall is one of the prettiest wall dives on the island with gorgeous formations and incredibly diverse coral growth and marine life.
Cordelia Banks, a protected marine reserve located on the south side of the island, is home to sprawling hard coral gardens that rival the Indo-Pacific. It's special because it's the last place in the Caribbean that abundant colonies of Staghorn Coral (Acropora cervicornis) can be found, a reef building species known for its spawning aggregations and fast growth.
El Aguila Wreck is located on the north side of the island in about 110' of water. This 230' foot vessel was sunk in 1997 and was broken into 3 pieces by Hurricane Mitch in 1998, making it even more interesting to explore. This coral encrusted beauty has loads of nooks and crannies to swim through and attracts a great variety of marine life including large groupers and a resident green moray. Even better, it sits very close to a beautiful shallow reef, which is perfect for spending the second half of the dive off-gassing.
Texas/Pablo's/West End Wall, otherwise known as "The Point", is located on the northwest point of the island and is a big highlight of Roatan diving. This is where the currents from the north and south side converge over a long plateau and is home to some of the biggest barrel sponges ever seen. Currents often bring big loads of fish, and occasionally something really exciting such a hammerhead or manta.
Mary's Place, located on the south side of the island, features a huge vertical crevasse in the reef completely covered in coral, barrel sponges and large gorgonians.

From start to finish, a fabulous experience (sounds like an oxymoron when talking about "dental visits", but actually true). From stepping in and encountering a superbly run front desk and incredible dental hygienist (whom I have seen for 20+ years), great dental assistants, and of course the master himself -- Dr. Stein. He has done amazing things to my 65+ year-old choppers such that they are in the top tier of my peers. Need I say more?
"Dr Stein is a very capable and caring dentist. He went above and beyond to fit me in when I was having a dental emergency. He specializes in restorative dental procedures, but is highly capable with general dentistry as well. Highly recommended!"
"My 35 year old Maryland Bridge bit the dust. I had no 2 bottom front teeth because of that. Sue at Dr. Stein's office got me in within a few days on a Sunday! The next day I had a temp retainer with teeth; and 2 weeks later I had a brand new state of the art Maryland Bridge! Dr. Stein is very patient and easygoing. He makes you feel at ease and is always concerned about your comfort. I'm extremely happy with the service and the product. Everything at The Stein Center is state of the art and the service from top to bottom is second to none. Highly recommend!"


Print advertisements, such as color flyers, continue to generate cash flow and develop new revenue streams for virtually every industry. Every business that has developed into an industry leader over the last several decades, did so by utilizing key concepts in advertising that have evolved from very humble beginnings. Not all advertising works, so it is extremely important to understand how ads work, why some succeed while others fail, and what your ads should consist of to generate the maximize ROI.
Although there were always market vendors from the early days of 'civilization' who would stand in the marketplace 'crying' their wares, it wasn't until the advent of the printing press that printed advertising as we know it today came into being. In the very beginning, advertising was nothing more than a single line of copy in the newspaper that perhaps listed the product, the price and a very simple description. Among scholars, it is held that this form of printed advertising first appeared somewhere in the latter part of the 17th century. As time went on, and as the technology of printing progressed, color was added and at some point simple graphics evolved into photographic images.
During WWI, to offset the rising costs of advertising, the philosophy of creating a need was introduced to the masses. Companies begain creating "perceived needs." For the first time, all of the strategies which are now tried and tested advertising methodologies, were melded together and distributed to consumers. The rest is history.
Today's flyer printing and advertising still focuses on these key strategies, which have been proven to work using decades worth of statistics. Technologies, products, and services change over time, however, human needs and response criteria remain largely the same over time.
McDonald's still uses the 'Golden Arches' whicht symbolize a place where life is idyllic and a far cry from the hectic life that people are forced to endure to make ends meet. "You deserve a break today at McDonald's. We do it all for you." Their impressive advertising strategy planted a seed in the heads of consumers that they deserve to take a break and let someone take over at least one of their daily tasks – cooking.
The same hold's true with the marketing strategy employed by Burger King. "Have it your way!" The message being, you answer to a boss, you answer to your family and you are bogged down with responsibilities, so now it is time to do what you want for a change. You deserve to have it 'your way,' and, of course, since you should be treated like a king/queen, there is a subliminal message in the famous BK crown.
(Key #3) in the lives of mass consumers.
One of the most common misconceptions that business owners have when creating flyers is to think that designing a flyer based on the '3 Keys to Success' is all there is to it. There are actually other 'steps' that should be taken prior to creating your campaign. It is a huge mistake to believe that an 'eye-catching' flyer that reaches a 'maximum number of people' and creates a 'need' is all there is to it. One of the factors that should be considered is researching the demographics in a specific market area before launching your campaign or none of those three keys will fit the lock! In other words, targeted marketing is the "true" key to success.
Understand your market demographics to make the 3 keys work for you!
Look at this research which paid off for McDonald's and Burger King – big time. At the time of their rise to fame, market analysis was simple and provided basic insight into the lifestyles of the consumers they were trying to reach. It is apparent that their advertising campaigns focused on the working middle class who were overwhelmed with work at relatively low wages. There were definite psychological tactics employed that wouldn't have been effective if their ads didn't reach the right people with the right message. You can't create a need where there is no void to fill. It is as simple as that.
Take a look at the two burger empires to see just how effective it is to 'borrow' what is working for your competition! It doesn't really matter which corporation did the actual market analysis first, the point is that one of them found a void, filled it by creating a need, and launched an all out advertising campaign that could fill that need/void. Then, as history has it, the war was on. Although the area of that 'void' those two corporations addressed were to some degree different, they both identified the void and created a need based on something missing in the lives of consumers. Remember, that was the time of the "Me Generation" so when consumers felt like they were losing control of their lives due to the need to care for others, both corporations pounced on that and ran with it. One company promised that consumers could have it their way while the other provided a break from the reality of losing the sense of self that was so vital at that time.
You can do the same thing in your market area by expanding on what is effectively working for your competitors. Obviously they have found a way to create a need in order to sell their products/services. Whatever they are utilizing is working because it is bringing in the business. Take the time to analyze their marketing strategies. Try to identify the demographics they are reaching out to. What forms of advertising are your competitors using and how are they distributing it? Competitive analysis is exactly what highly successful businesses like Burger King and McDonald's do. They analyze the competition and then try to stay one step ahead of them. Once you have the concept of your advertising created, it's time to get down to the practical aspect of printing and distribution.
It's Time to Print Your Flyer – What are Your Options?
You can also choose the weight of the paper based on how you will be distributing your flyers. Paper weight used in commercial printing is different then from the stuff you buy at Staples or Office Depot. Never waste money at a small local printer or over-pay for your bulk printing of advertisements. Always choose a reputable and trusted flyer printing company that uses large printing presses and offers "commercial quality" results. Remember: You don't want to spend as much on advertising as a mega-comapny, but you sure want to look as good as they do!
Once you have done market research and have developed an advertising theme, it is time to put it all on paper. While some business owners hire professional graphic designers to layout their flyers, others choose to do their own designing at home, or using pre-designed templates online using various web-based design tools. It all depends on your design ability and the intricacy of the design you will need.
U-Design is a popular do-it-yourself design tool and a beautifully laid out flyer is just a few mouse clicks away. The more information and graphics you need to include, the more difficult it becomes. If the do it yourself approach does not work, professional graphic designers can assist you with the layout for any advertising job, large or small. When you place a bulk print order online, a quality printing company will provide professional design services at discounted rates. So if the scope of your flyer is beyond your reach, and the online templates don't meet your needs, let professionalsl do the designing for you.
The size of your flyer is the first consideration as to whether or not you will need to opt for a bi-fold or tri-fold flyer. There are times when your flyer needs to be folded, for instance if it is oversized such as the 8.5″ x 14″ or 11″ x 17″ sizes. And, of course, the size of your flyer is usually dependent on the amount of copy and graphics that need to be included. Newspaper inserts, for example, are often printed on 8.5″ by 11″ or 11″ x 17″ and then bi-folded before being stuffed. They fit nicely into the paper and can be opened, booklet style, to browse through specials and coupons. Many of the large pharmacy chains like Walgreen's and Eckerd's use a bi-fold type newspaper insert flyer for weekly promotions. Knowing when to fold and when not to fold is important because there are also times when folding your flyer would be a grave mistake. If the layout and graphic design would be obscured by the fold it would be better to keep it flat whenever possible. Consider the visibility of your offer and the ease-of-handling for your customers at all times.
When you communicate with your printer there are some basic terms that you should be aware of. These are everyday words in the vocabulary of a printer, so there might be times that they will forget that many of us don't speak a 'foreign printing language.' And, this terminology is all the more important if you are going to try your hand at designing your own flyer. Many mistakes can be avoided if you have a basic understanding of a few printing terms that refer to the details of your project.
C2S/C1S – This refers to whether the paper being printed is coated on one side or both. Obviously 'C2S' is shiny on both sides whereas 'C1S' is matte on one side and shiny on the face. C1S is typically used on postcard type flyers.
CMYK – The standard four colors that are used in printing. (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) While most colors can be produced by 'layering' these standard four colors, it is important to know that some shades might not be exact.
4/0 and 4/4 – 4/4 is four colors on both sides of double-sided printing and 4/1 refers to 4 colors on the face and no colors ont he back.
These are just a small sampling of some of the ciritical terms that might come up when discussing your flyer. Don't be afraid to tell your printer that you don't understand what they are referring to. It is your flyer after all, and your satisfaction is what keeps printers in business. Quality work, affordable pricing, and customer satisfaction have been the focus of printers for decades now.
The Power of Full Color Printing. There is No Substitute for Color!
There is no better way to say it, but, printing in black and white is just plain boring. The absolute best way to generate massive response is to use full color (glossy) flyer printing because it follows the rules of effective advertising. It identifies a void, creates a need, and presents an eye-catching/pleasing solution to that need which engenders a 'call to action' response.
As you can see, a black and white picture of that platter would not meet the first one of those rules. It surely wouldn't catch anyone's eye so it couldn't possibly address their hunger with a delicious looking burger. And of course, without temptation, in this case, there is no call to action. While it may seem that the extra expense (which in many cases is negligible) of printing in color might not be necessary, it definitely is. If your flyer doesn't generate a call-to-action response you are wasting your money! The sole purpose of advertising is to generate business so it is important to utilize 'every trick in the book,' so to speak, to make that advertising work for you. If spending a few extra dollars now can generate thousands of dollars in business, it is well worth the expenditure.
Quite often small business owners opt to design a flyer and take it to their local 'Copy Shop' to have them run off a few hundred flyers. Sometimes they even choose to print some at home or from their office. Usually it is a matter of cost. They are trying to save a few dollars because business hasn't been good. As a matter of fact, that's why they are printing flyers in the first place – to generate business and cash flow. That might be one of the poorest financial decisions that the business owner ever makes. The only guaranteed way to bring business in the door is with advertising that works! Always, always trust an experienced printing and distribution company (ie: direct mail service provider) when it comes to your advertiisng campaigns.
Turnkey printing and marketing solution providers, get excellent results by providing professional guidance at low rates. Their graphic designers and marketing consultants have access to the latest trends in marketing and distribution processes. In effect, you have everything under one roof. Professionals are on hand from the very 'concept' of your flyer right down to the final distribution. They are in touch with what is working in given market areas based on marketing research and statistical analysis that they have at their fingertips. Professionals know what works and, better yet, they know how to put that knowledge to work for you. Put your money to work for you, don't throw it out the window! It is a much wiser financial decision to spend a little more now on effective advertising that actually generates business. That is something you can take to the bank.
When planning your flyer it is important to take distribution into account before you actually begin designing it. This is one of the areas in which a professional 'turnkey' printing and marketing solution provider can be of invaluable assistance. The size of your flyer could preclude some forms of distribution so they can assist you in carefully weighing your distribution options prior to planning your design. For instance, if you are planning to do direct mailing then 2.5″ x 5″ postcards wouldn't be at all practical. They'd easily get lost in the mix of mail and rarely seen by any custoemers. If you have contracted with a company to hang flyers door-to-door, your design would need to be conducive to being stuffed in a door hanger bag or printed on 4.25″ x 11″ door hanger card stock.
If you are uncertain as to which method of distribution you should utilize, talk to your printer. There are so many options available to you and based on the demographics of your targeted market, it is essential that you distribute your flyer in a manner that can offer the highest response. Most professional printers have the wherewithal to actually set up distribution for you and carry out the campaign. Whether you are going with direct mailing (recommended for most small businesses) or placing flyers in local publications, your design should always be contingent upon the method of distribution. It's smart to think ahead.
One method of distribution that should be emphasized is Direct Mail. Recent statistics provided by the United States Postal Service state that the average household receives approximately 25 pieces of mail per week, and 52% of that mail is Direct Mail advertising. Here is where it gets interesting. A survey was conducted that indicates that 51% of consumers will read mail from merchants and 16% of them will respond to that mail.Let's break this down into figures to look at just how effective this form of distribution really is.
Using a base figure of 1,000 households that receive 25 pieces of mail per week, that is 25,000 pieces of mail that gets delivered. Of that 25,000, 52% is Direct Mail advertising, which means that 13,000 of those items are some form of advertising. Now, based on the proven response rates, 51% of consumers will read that mail which means that 6,630 ads are being opened and read. Of that number, 16% will respond which means that 1061 ads are generating business. On an average, every household is responding to one or more ads per week!
Of course, not all of that mail will be in direct competition with your product or service. With professional advertising that works, it is possible to dominate your market. That is why it is financially prudent to utilize the services of a professional 'turnkey' printing and marketing solutions company. They have the advertising and distribution skills and expertise to put it all together for you so that your ads generate business with profit-raising end results.
Your flyer is printed and distributed – now it's time to Track Results!
You have just put a lot of time, effort, and some expense into researching, planning, designing, printing and distributing a flyer to advertise your business. Of course, you want to know just how effective that advertising is. One sure way would be to track your before and after income. If it is steadily on the rise that is a good indicator that your advertising is paying off. However, there are some times when you want something a little more tangible. Many businesses place discount coupons on their flyers that must be redeemed in order to take advantage of the promotional pricing. By keeping count of coupons that are redeemed, they are able to track the success of their advertising campaign. Make sure to discuss the fact that you want to employ some method of tracking results with your printer. They can help you layout your flyer to incorporate tracking coupons into the design.
Based on the strategies detailed above, advertising with flyers can be highly effective if you follow the "7 Must Know Rules." Keep these rules in mind as you plan your advertising and you will be amazed at the results.
Rule #1 – Plan in Advance! Leave ample time for everything that needs to be done. The actual 'printing' part of the process might only take 24 to 48 hours in 'turn around' time, but there is so much more to successful flyer advertising. Planning, research, market analysis, design, proofing and distribution need to be accounted for. Leave enough time to get your flyers out in a timely manner prior to any promotions you intend to run.
Rule #2 – Target Specific Demographics. Understand your market. What are the demographics you intend to target? Understanding your audience is of prime importance if you are going to 'create a need' and a 'call to response.' Effective advertising reaches people at some deeper level and calls them to act upon what you have to offer. Learn how to speak their language in terms they understand with a message they can't afford to miss!
Rule #3 – Analyze the Competition. Just as those huge burger conglomerates feed off each other's advertising strategies, you should do the same thing in terms of your competitors. Take the time to learn and understand what is working for them and then improve on it. You'll be amazed at what a little honest 'thievery' can do!
Rule #4 – Consistent Branding. Although this wasn't discussed, effective advertising results in your name being synonymous with the product or service you are offering. For example, how many people do you hear asking for a facial tissue? Not many, I would presume. They ask for a 'Kleenex' which is a specific brand of facial tissues. That's what branding is all about. Use it effectively in your flyers and you will literally dominate your market.
Rule #5 – Simplicity. One of the most important rules in advertising that often gets misplaced is simplicity. Consumers are too busy or too distracted to read lengthy copy. Employ graphics, images, bullet points or whatever you can find to keep your message short and to the point.
Rule #6 – Distribution Methods. This is where many businesses fail when using flyers to advertise. Based on the type of flyer (i.e. menu, coupons, etc) it is essential to plan for distribution. Once you understand your targeted demographics you can plan for effective distribution. Whether it is direct mail, door-hangers, newspaper inserts, flyers in local businesses or any other method of distribution, it is essential to determine the best way to reach the biggest audience. That's what advertising is all about – numbers.
Rule #7 – Advertise, Advertise, Advertise! Don't fall prey to the misconception that one round of flyer printing is going to put you at the top of your market. Too many businesses almost make it to the finish line and for some reason or another don't follow up on their advertising campaigns. Keep the USPS statistics in mind throughout your campaign. Every household responds to direct mail ads every per week. Yours could be, and should be next!
Whether you are promoting a business, looking for a lost dog, or trying to sell a car, the whole intention of posting flyers is to grab the attention of those who walk by. Therefore, it is of utmost importance the message gets delivered properly. With simpl e and efficient flyer printing tips, you can capture people's attention.
First and foremost, make sure to print in full color. Black and white flyers are dull and will fade away regardless of what it is posted on. You want people to know what is on flyer is important to you. Color shows value and meaning and essentially displays the fact that you cared enough to spend a little more money. And while it is a little more money, it will all be worth it at the end of the day.
In addition to splurging for color, take your flyer printing to the next level and print on glossy paper. Color is nice, but glossy will take it a step further and truly show the professional side. This is essential if you are promoting a business to stand out from the rest of the competitors. But as mentioned above, regardless of what the message is you want to show that it means a lot to you.
The final tip for printing flyers is to print in bulk. This of course does depend on what exactly you are looking to do with the flyers and what message you are looking to get across. But just know you can save a great deal of money when printing bulk orders. If you will be needing a certain amount spread throughout the course of a month, or even a year, order them all at once and watch how much you end up saving.
There is much more to flyer printing than many even think about. The key is to consider how much the message means to you and what you are willing to do to capture people's attention. From there, apply the tips listed above as necessary.

If you want to be certain your residence and belongings are protected in the function of a flood, the time to acquire flood insurance is not the second it commences to rain.

If you have high-priced landscaping about your property, think about purchasing independent insurance policy for it. Most simple homeowners insurance policy guidelines will not go over harm from wind or other environmental aspects to landscaping. This signifies that if your high-priced imported trees arrive down in the wind, your property owners insurance policies policy will usually not include it.

The homes that were burned and the stores that were damaged have been rebuilt; Aluthgama's infrastructure hides the violence that it recently bore. Three years ago, around Poson poya day that fell in the middle of the month of Ramazan in 2014, a destructive display of racially-motivated violence occurred that continues to haunt its streets, long after the brick and mortar damage has been rebuilt.
This piece compiles interviews, photos and observations from a visit to Aluthgama in June 2017. Created using Microsoft Sway, it can be accessed here and is embedded below.

This name uses Spanish naming customs; the first or paternal family name is Aguilera and the second or maternal family name is Heredia.
Sebastian Aguilera de Heredia (1561-1627) was a Spanish organist and composer.
Aguilera was born in Zaragoza, Spain on about August 15, 1561.
We do not know much about his early life. He was ordained as a priest in January 1584. In 1585 he became organist at Huesca Cathedral, where he supervised the building of a new organ at the cathedral during 1588. In 1603 he became a priest and organist at the Cathedral of La Seo, Zaragossa. He looked after the organ at the cathedral and often had work done to improve it. He remained at the cathedral until his death on December 16, 1627.
All his compositions were for the church: both his organ music and vocal music. His organ works show that he learned from composers such as Antonio de Cabezón, but he put new, modern ideas in his music which later influenced younger composers such as Correa de Arauxo. His students became the cathedral organists after his death, and were part of a tradition and style of paying which lasted for over 100 years.
A very important new technique which he used was the use of a divided keyboard (medio registro) which allowed different sounds in the upper half and the lower half of the keyboard (on today's organs one would need a two-manual organ to get the same effect). He wrote 36 settings of the Magnificat, called Canticum Beatissimae Virginis Deiparae Mariae (1618). His vocal work shows a skilful use of polyphony.

Ontario collaborative lawyer Nicola Savin comments on the best outcome of collaborative practice: the possibility of a continuing cordial relationship with your ex-spouse.
Calgary couple Shannon and Chris Neuman made headlines last month after posting a photo together after filing for divorce.
Shannon Neuman shared the selfie on her Facebook page with the hashtag #divorceselfie, and the image has been shared thousands of times.
In the caption, she explains their smiling faces after having "done something extraordinary," noting they wanted the split to be conflict-free so their children would never have to choose sides.
The couple was applauded as being inspiring as the photo went viral online.
"Far too often, the media — and social media especially — only post stories that show the negative side of divorce, but there are many good sides as well," says Savin, a partner with Birenbaum, Steinberg, Landau, Savin & Colraine, LLP.
But staying civil during a split isn't easy, says Savin, which is why those couples who remain cordial deserve to be celebrated.
"It's not an easy thing to do. It's challenging," she says. "In my practice I do a lot of collaborative family law, and certainly the goal of collaborative cases is to have a win-win situation so both parties can walk away feeling like it was an equitable settlement handled with dignity and respect for the relationship and their family.
"Just because you're not living together doesn't mean you're not a family anymore," says Savin.
Children model their parents' behaviour, says Savin, and are more likely to do what they see rather than what they are told.
"If you can model good conflict resolution, especially over something like this, it allows the kids to see their parents doing something positive so they can emulate them when they have challenges in their own life," says Savin.
The benefits of amicable resolutions go beyond getting noticed on Facebook, says Savin.
"The vast majority of these cases are a lot less expensive and they don't usually go to court, which is beneficial as litigation can be very destructive," she says. "Outcomes for children are significantly better when they are not exposed to the conflict of their parents' separation.

Notorious coastal builder dies
Trista Talton Staff Writer
The man known for developing much of North Topsail Beach in the 1980s and creating a swarm of controversy died earlier this week.
Marlow Bostic was 86.
Bostic began development on land that environmental regulators say wasn't suitable for building then and still isn't. Raised on a Duplin County farm, Bostic started a business in Rose Hill selling farm equipment in the early 1950s.
But in the late 1960s he decided he wanted a career change and began developing real estate. His first development was a little subdivision in Rose Hill.
In the early 1970s, he bought his first property along the Intracoastal Waterway in Sneads Ferry.
Then, he set his sights on land at the north end of Topsail Island in Onslow County in what is now North Topsail Beach. There he became notorious for ignoring coastal development rules.
He was cited or fined dozens of times by federal and state environmental regulatory agencies. He spent 15 months in federal prison following a 1994 conviction for refusing to comply with a judge's order that he reveal his assets.
His son, Marty Bostic, said his father was "in the limelight a lot."
"There's two sides to every story," he said. "I just go on with the good stuff. You have to take the bad with the good. I'm not going to dwell on that. I couldn't ask for a better father. Not only was he my father, he was my best friend."
Marty Bostic said one of the biggest contributions his father made to the area was his initiative to build a sewer plant serving the north end of the island and Sneads Ferry.
He also forced the state to tightening coastal management and wetland regulations, said Bill Holman, executive director of the Clean Water Management Trust Fund.
"He filled in a lot of wetlands and violated a lot of permits or got permits after he had broken the law," he said. "Most developers do try to comply with state environmental laws, but, to Mr. Bostic, fines were just a cost of doing business. Any loophole that was there he exploited to the maximum. We learned from some of his abuses."
One major change came after Marlow Bostic got the Department of Transportation to agree to move a road from the oceanfront to the middle of the island so he could develop along the shore.
Legislators eventually closed the loophole in the N.C. Environmental Policy Act that Marlow Bostic used to get the road moved, said Holman, a former environmental lobbyist for the Sierra Club and Conservation Council of North Carolina.
"Had there been environmental review, there would have been more thought given to putting houses in a high hazard area," he said.
Buildings like St. Regis Resort, one of Marlow Bostic's projects, would not be sitting by the ocean if the road had not been moved, Holman said.
"I think North Topsail was one of the most dangerous places to be developed along the North Carolina coast," he said. "It's very low. There are no dunes. The north end of the island has been washing away for some amount of time."

Just curious what the going value is nowadays for a fully assembled virgin oem evo 9 shortblock? With 59k miles on it.
Probably $1200ish. Might easier to take it apart and sell the block and crank.
I'm curious to know as well.
I have a Evo 8 long block with 55k miles. Ill be posting it up for sale once I remove it from the bay. Short block is stock and the head has gsc s2 cams , springs and AEM cam gears.
Shipping will be crazy expensive. Unless you have connections, expect that to be $800-$1000.
Here is what i found for new Evo 8 Short Block, Bare Block and Cylinder head. STM also has Evo 9 if you want to check out for yourself.
Short Block new is 3,881.41 ask 1,900 ?
Bare Block is 2,169.18 ask 1,000 ?
Cylinder Head new is 1,805.70 ask 900 ?
I knew the Evo 9s were a little more rare than 8s, but damn.
I thought mistubishi stopped making/selling new shortblocks?
Usually STM pricing is pretty good . Are you sure the Mitsubishi price you quoted is for a complete shortblock and not just a bare block ?
supply's people like stm who turn around a jack up the price. The price for a bare block is $1750 from the same aforementioned dealership. The dealership I'm talking about is in Florida.
Thanks for sharing the information. I'll use the 2800 new price to decide my asking price for my short block when I get the chance to remove it.
The shortblock won't come with the extras you listed like oil pan and gaskets or ant off that other stuff.
I bought my shortblock from STM for $3200 shipped (price matched). STM and my local dealership swear there's only a couple left in the US. This was a bit over a year ago, I think.
Maybe prices have done up since.
I will be selling my Curt Brown 10:1 2L after I get my new 2.15L running. EVO IX, Carrillo rods(expensive ones), JE asymmetric. Has about ~70k total miles and was running when I pulled. Bores look clean so in theory you could just run, but a refresh would be in order. I decided to pull because mivec was clacking, but upon tear down last night I found the timing belt tensioner had died and the grease was everywhere.
Probably gonna sell for $2300 plus shipping.

Why Are GPS Signals So Vulnerable To Disruption From The Ground?
Jen DiMascio June 25, 2020
Credit: Lockheed Martin
Ask the Editors: The Aviation Week Network invites our readers to submit questions to our editors and analysts. We'll answer them, and if we can't we'll reach out to our wide network of experts for advice.
Why are GPS signals so vulnerable to disruption from the ground? And if GPS is so vulnerable, why haven't actions been taken to remedy these vulnerabilities?
Jen DiMascio, Aviation Week's Executive Editor, Defense and Space, responds:
It's a perplexing question. The Pentagon has long known about the potential threat to GPS signals and is working to make the situation better for the military. Protecting the GPS signal for civilian users though is not as certain.
GPS signals are vulnerable to disruption because signals from satellites are weak by the time they reach receivers on the ground, Michael Griffin, the Pentagon's undersecretary of defense for research and engineering, recently told the Senate Armed Services Committee. They are easily drowned out by stronger signals from ground-based networks. Therefore, the government has assigned GPS an exclusive portion of the radio spectrum.
Government rules have protected GPS by surrounding that portion of the spectrum with something of a buffer for decades. "But the radio spectrum is valuable property, worth many billions of dollars when portions of it are placed for auction by [the Federal Communications Commission]," Griffin said in his testimony. "Thus, unfortunately, some have proposed dismantling the rules that protect GPS in order to allow earthbound operators to use frequency bands previously reserved for space communications in general, and those adjacent to GPS in particular."
The issue has come to a head as a result of Ligado Networks' proposed use of L-band mobile satellite services bands to build a ground-based 5G Internet of Things network.
Lockheed Martin, which manufactures GPS III satellites that are in the process of being launched and has a contract to make next-generation GPS IIIF satellites, argues that Ligado would be operating against the current rules that call for a 1-dB safety margin near GPS signals. "We have recommended that the FCC conduct a hearing over disputed material facts in the record," says Tonya Ladwig, acting vice president of navigation systems at Lockheed Martin. Rather than dismiss the 1-dB standard, it is recommended that the FCC issue an objective interference compliance standard. "Otherwise, Ligado will be left to adjudicate individual GPS interference complaints as to credibility and resolution," she says.
But encouraging the FCC to maintain the existing rules still doesn't address what the Pentagon is doing to remedy the situation. According to Ladwig, Lockheed's GPS IIIF satellites will add a new regional military protection capability, allowing the government to focus higher military signal power into contested areas. But there is no such protection for civil signals—at least for now.
The Resilient Navigation and Timing Foundation was established to get at this exact question. "The federal government has promised to do a number of things to protect signals and users and has failed to follow through on a number of them," says Dana Goward, the foundation's president. "It is a real concern."
One glimmer of hope is the National Timing Resilience and Security Act passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law at the end of 2018. It calls for a terrestrial timing system to reinforce GPS by December and provides $10 million for a technology demonstration by the Transportation Department.
"The act requires only a timing backup, but it has to be expandable to be useful for navigation," Goward says. "Studies have shown that even a single powerful, precise terrestrial timing signal incorporated into new GPS receivers will make them much more resilient to interference." To date, Congress has provided no real funding beyond the demonstration. But the Transportation Department is expected to conclude its analysis in August—by thattime the department would know which systems it would want to purchase and the cost—before Congress takes up fiscal 2021 spending legislation.

The Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) and Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, announced today the launch of an entrepreneurship program to help local tertiary students scale up their start-ups. This is the first partnership between Alibaba Cloud and a local tertiary institution to jointly offer a university-accredited program.
The program comprises three compulsory components: participation in the two-day Alibaba Cloud Certified Professional ("ACP") certification program, participation in pitching sessions to investors organized by Alibaba Cloud and SUSS, and successful securing of funding. To complete the program, participants must successfully meet all three requirements.
Participants also have the option to read for free and without having to take examinations, any of the 500 SUSS modular courses that they deem relevant for their businesses. For the duration of the program, participants will have free access to Alibaba Cloud services. They will also enjoy mentorship by Alibaba executives as well as C-level industry experts who have extensive experiences relating to entrepreneurship.
Upon successful completion, participants who are SUSS students will be awarded a Minor in Entrepreneurship worth 40 credit units. Non-SUSS participants will graduate with a certificate and have their credit units recognized should they enroll in a SUSS degree program subsequently. Participants who are unable to secure funding at the end of the maximum duration1 will obtain a certificate of participation with no credit units. As long as participants have not exceeded the maximum duration of the program, they may keep trying to seek funding.
"SUSS has a suite of modular courses that can help participants to pick up functional knowledge and skills that they need in running and growing their businesses. However, to be a successful entrepreneur requires more than theoretical knowledge. Awarding credit units to successful program participants is the university's way of recognizing that effective learning can take place outside the classroom," said Professor Cheong Hee Kiat, President, Singapore University of Social Sciences.
"We are very excited to work with SUSS, who share our vision of developing the next generation of outstanding entrepreneurs. This program is another example of our commitment to provide the exciting drivers of change to start-ups with Alibaba Cloud's advanced technology as well as Alibaba Group's global resources," said Joey Tan, Head of Global Strategic Initiatives, Alibaba Cloud.
The entrepreneurship program is Alibaba Cloud's latest initiative to enable start-ups and foster talent development in the ASEAN region. In July, 15 start-ups from across the ASEAN region competed in the final of the ASEAN division of the Create@Alibaba Cloud Start-up Contest, which is dedicated to empowering start-ups with best-in-class cloud technology as well as access to a global cloud network.
For this entrepreneurship program, there will be two intakes a year and up to 20 teams comprising a maximum of three members will be recruited each time. Preference will be given to existing start-ups which are scalable, show potential for growth beyond Singapore, or meet pressing societal needs. To underscore their commitment to encouraging and recognizing entrepreneurship, SUSS and Alibaba Cloud will offer the courses of this program free of charge.
Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) is one of Singapore's six national universities and its mission is to provide lifelong education that equips learners to serve society. Home to more than 14,000 students, SUSS provides an applied education that targets both fresh school leavers and adult learners, with a focus on the social sciences. It adopts a flexible and practice-focused learning approach and offers more than 60 degree programs in various disciplines. Eligible students taking SUSS's undergraduate programs enjoy government subsidies and access to government bursaries, tuition fee loans and study loans. For more information on Singapore University of Social Sciences, please visit www.suss.edu.sg.
Established in 2009, Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, is China's largest provider of public cloud services in 2016 by revenue, according to IDC. Alibaba Cloud provides a comprehensive suite of cloud computing services to businesses worldwide, including merchants doing business on Alibaba Group marketplaces, start-ups, corporations and government organizations. Alibaba Cloud is the official Cloud Services Partner of the International Olympic Committee.
