The City of Steamboat Springs was notified earlier this month that it has been awarded a grant from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) for $800,000 from the state's Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance Fund.
The $800,000 grant will go toward construction of floodplain and pedestrian improvements along the popular Butcherknife Creek within the old town district. The new infrastructure enhancements, expected to last 30 to 50 years, focus on safety improvements in the area from Oak to Yampa between 6th & 7th Streets.
The project will replace a nearly 100-year-old and obsolete box culvert along Butcherknife Creek and ties into a culvert installed in 2009 under Highway 40. In addition, new sidewalks, stormwater enhancements and streetscape amenities featuring smart technology LED lighting and landscaping will be installed.
"Competition for these limited funds was intense and we had many more requests than we had funds available," DOLA Executive Director Rick Garcia wrote in the award letter. Other city facility projects that have received Energy & Mineral Impact Assistance Funds include the Combined Law Enforcement Facility, Yampa Street, Community Center, Parks & Recreation Building, Public Works Shop Expansion and Centennial Hall.
As a part of this project, the city also received a grant from the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment's (CDPHE) Water Quality Improvement Fund to install a mechanized stormwater treatment device at this site, which separates and filters pollutants before reaching the river. These two projects will be conducted simultaneously. While not a part of the DOLA grant award, the Butcherknife project will also construct a new, year-round, public restroom adjacent to Eagle Scout Park and the parking lot at the intersection of 7th Street and Yampa Street.
In addition to the DOLA grant, the $2.5M Butcherknife Creek Improvement Project is funded from $1.61M in matching city funds and the $90,000 CDPHE grant. The project, under the administration of city engineer Michael Beurskens, is anticipated to start in late summer with additional details regarding construction timing available after the project is bid and awarded.

Sahara Bio
Follow Sahara on Facebook
Sahara is the Irish singer/songwriter duo Trish and Dave Long who migrated to Australia in 1987. Before meeting in 1984 they had individually produced a rich body of live work on the Dublin music scene. After joining forces they soon began a songwriting collaboration which has blossomed over the last thirty four years resulting in several recordings, countless live performances in theatres and festivals along with 'live to air' on many radio and TV shows.
Since the release of their recordings, reviewers have placed Sahara's music under the 'eclectic' umbrella due to it's variance in styles. When Sahara released their first CD 'Vision' back in 1997 the current trend was themed CDs in one music genre. However Trish and Dave did not subscribe to this ideal having always written from inspiration believing there must be freedom to be truly creative. Surprisingly this eclectic album 'Vision' received great reviews and it wasn't long before other songwriters described themselves as eclectic.
Sahara 'Vision' brought Trish and Dave into the international spotlight when in 1997 they submitted their track 'Make My Day' to the first Internet music charts 'SoundClick' operating out of New York. Within a week their song was voted No.1 worldwide and stayed in that position for four consecutive weeks. This was so unusual it made the ABC TV evening news Australia wide dubbing Trish and Dave 'CyberStars'. A good moment for a couple of migrant musicians working in offices and renting a small unit! Not quite sure what to do next, Trish and Dave decided to hire a small theatre in St. Kilda Melbourne and produce their 'CyberStars in Concert' on July 4th 1998. To their amazement it was a total sellout.
Another nudge arrived, again from New York, in the guise of an email requesting a video of a live Sahara performance for a new video streaming website called CelticTV. Sahara had a video of the 'CyberStars' concert courtesy of a radio presenter in the audience that night, however it was only on a personal video camera and was lacking the quality needed at the time. Sahara decided to hire the Beckett Theatre at The Malthouse in Melbourne and staged 'Sahara Live @ The Malthouse' on September 4th 1999. The video became a favourite and was broadcast on several occasions. Through persuasion from various sources Sahara was talked into releasing part of the live concert on the CD 'Sahara Live @ The Malthouse' . This received critical acclaim and ratings of three and a half stars in major publications.
A'what next' phase resulted in Sahara bringing their concert interstate. Trish and Dave self-employed once again with their ageing car laden with instruments, basic sound equipment and a couple of spotlights. With car engine number two under the bonnet, thousands of kilometres and as many life lessons travelling through glaring sun-drenched drought-ridden outback towns, to rain-drenched flooded coastal towns, leaves one with many a tale to tell. All of this provided the inspiration for Sahara's next CD 'A New Beginning' which was recorded in their home studio between tours.
Sahara toured 'A New Beginning' which was a great success running for a couple of years with bookings well into 2007. However the long road came to an abrupt halt in December 2006. Unlike the car which had it's guts replaced we were unable to do the same for Dave. A chronic illness turned critical. Dave was at death's door and we almost lost him on more than one occasion. It was an enormous effort to save him. Surviving emergency life saving surgery and subsequent complications including sepsis, Dave proved his mental strength and bravery. It's been a particularly tough period in Trish and Dave's lives. Between major operations over the last few years Dave with Trish managed to write and record their last two albums 'There is this place I go' and 'See all that's before me' along with the singles 'Only This World' and 'Hope in Everything'.
2016 we were all set to go but there was another spoke in the works. In June Dave was rushed to hospital yet again for more surgeries which concluded successfully in April 2017.
June 2017: Now we can say we are looking forward to recording all our new songs and once Dave is fully recovered get back on the 'long' road again.
September: 2017 update: Release of Sahara's latest single 'Hope in Everything'.
December 2018: Recording new single 'Lock You Up Where You Belong'
January 2019: Finished recording and mixing of upcoming single.
29/01/ 2019: Release of single 'Lock You Up Where You Belong'
19th August 2021 Sahara CyberStars release single 'Evolution'

The best way tomanage a web site on the internet is via a dedicated Control Panel.
A Control Panel is a web-based user interface using which you can control various aspects of your presence online. For instance, you can set up or modify site files, create and check emails, handle databases, check visitor stats and so on. Those things are carried out via buttons and menus inside an internet browser and the CP could also be called 'back office', i.e. the admin area associated with your website hosting account. Most of the Control Panels available on the market will allow you to manage all hosting-related matters, but you'll commonly require a different system to take care of payments or to get a new domain when the company offers domain registrations. Depending on the platform they use, you may be able to use the billing account to open a support ticket to ask a question or to troubleshoot and fix a problem as well, or you may have to employ a third system.
The shared hosting which we provide you with come with our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel. We have taken into consideration the feedback we've received through the years, so we have developed an intuitive, all-in-one tool that'll offer you complete control over every aspect of your presence online. Right-click context menus shall give you access to a lot of functions and will make you feel as if you're working with your laptop. You may also manage upgrades, renewal payments, domain address registrations and support tickets from the exact same location, so you'll not have to log into different systems. All the sections include a multitude of help articles and video tutorials, that'll give you additional information about each of the features which you can use. Hepsia also comes in various languages, including French, Spanish, German, Chinese and Russian, and you may choose from among different themes, not to mention that you could rearrange the different sections for your convenience. That way, you may customize the CP and use it in your preferred language.

Minnesota Emerging Software Advisory (MESA) is a non-profit mentoring organization inspired to make Minnesota's software economy rank among the most vibrant and respected in the nation. Pro bono mentoring of start-up and emerging software company CEOs by software industry veterans is at the core of what we do. This "giving back," high-quality mentoring results in 100% of our "mentees" testifying to the substantial impact MESA mentors make in their growth and success.
Pro bono mentoring leads to mentee comments such as "independent input," "invaluable advice at each and every meeting," and "a great job of challenging your thinking through questioning not telling." At the same time, mentors comment it is a rare mentoring session where they don't come away with new perspective or a thought applicable to their business lives.
With close to 30 emerging growth software companies mentored to-date, MESA is creating significant growth (and jobs!) in the Minnesota software economy. And, that is our sole goal.

~*COVER REVEAL*~ 13 Steps to the Cellar by Teresa Mathews
Publisher: Tirgearr Publishing
Thirteen Steps to the Cellar. They were steep; they were narrow—but was a fall down them enough to have caused the twenty-seven deep lacerations to her aunt's head?
Callie Harris travels from her home in Alabama to her aunt's former mansion in Maine to unravel the haunting forty-year-old mystery of Dr. Laverne Harris Doss' brutal death.
Why wasn't a murder weapon found? Was her uncle justly convicted of the killing? Was his mistress involved? Or was the murderer the bearded stranger rumored to have arrived by train that night?
In the charming town of Richmond, located on the banks of Maine's historic Kennebec River, Callie uncovers the community's darkest secrets—a botched police investigation, a betrayed widow's lie, a dead woman's blackmail, and a wealthy philanthropist's shame. The web of intrigue extends far beyond her suspicions and its connection to her personal story pierces Callie to her core.
TERESA MATHEWS is a graduate of The University of South Alabama. She's a member of the Mobile Writers Guild and serves on the Board of Directors for the Alabama Nursery and Landscape Association.
An avid gardener and artist, she has multiple book covers to her credit. Several years ago after visiting the site of her real-life aunt's murder, Teresa discovered a third passion–storytelling. Although inspired by an actual tragedy, Thirteen Steps to the Cellar is fiction.
Raised on the Gulf Coast, Teresa, her husband, and son now live on a farm with a second home on the sparkling white sands of Fort Morgan, Alabama. This is her first novel.

Home » Tribute paid to health and care workers after year like no other
Tribute paid to health and care workers after year like no other
Twelve months on from the very first local case of Covid-19, health and care leaders in Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire have paid a heartfelt tribute to staff who went the extra mile during the pandemic.
Last March saw thousands of NHS workers across the region, along with their colleagues from local councils, voluntary groups and countless other key organisations, rise up to meet the challenge of coronavirus, with many embodying a war-time spirit of helping out wherever help was needed.
Now, almost a year to the day later, the actions of these courageous and determined frontline workers and those staff who've worked behind the scenes to support the emergency response are being publicly acknowledged.
Tracey Cox, Chief Executive, Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board, said: "It is only right that, on the first anniversary of this heart-wrenching pandemic, we once again acknowledge and say thank you to all those who have played their part in steering us through an unbelievably challenging year.
"Coronavirus has been brutal for all involved and I know that many of our colleagues bear the emotional, physical and mental scars of the last 12 months, but their courage and determination in the face of constant uncertainty will never be forgotten.
"I would also like to take this opportunity to recognise the sacrifices made by our local communities who, by following government guidance, have helped slow the spread of the virus."
As was seen across the entire country, the emergence of Covid-19 in the first part of 2020 had huge implications for local health and care services.
Almost overnight, services at the region's three large hospitals – the Great Western Hospital in Swindon, Salisbury District Hospital and the Royal United Hospital in Bath – were scaled back and staff redeployed to prepare for the rapid influx of people needing urgent and emergency care as a result of coronavirus.
GPs quickly followed suit with all of the region's 94 practices taking the majority of services online, with video calls becoming the default appointment format and walk-ins stopping in favour of telephone-based triage and assessment.
In the first weeks of the pandemic, GPs were carrying out more than 3,000 video appointments a week – a 200 per cent increase on what was happening pre-Covid.
Elsewhere, healthcare staff were redeployed from their usual place of work to support colleagues working in alternative settings.
Charlotte Jones, Chartered Physiotherapist with Wiltshire Health and Care, who left her hospital-based role to help colleagues visiting patients at home, said: "The whole of Wiltshire Health and Care responded amazingly.
"Everyone has adapted how they work, and completely changed how services are provided, and I look forward to being able to re-join my other colleagues in the future."
The pandemic also led to the introduction of innovative methods of care, such as drive-thru clinics and dedicated home visits to shielding patients.
Behind the scenes, cross-organisational working helped pave the way for the initial development of the new BSW integrated care system, which will see local health and care providers work together to take joint responsibility for the wellbeing of the local population.

Malian police and the MINUSMA peacekeeping force said a French national, a Belgian and three Malians had died in the attack.
The United Nations Security Council strongly condemned an attack on a Bamako nightclub that killed five people, including two Europeans and a Malian policeman, calling for swift justice.
At least one masked gunman entered the club in the Malian capital around 1:00 am (0630 IST) yesterday and sprayed the venue with automatic gunfire and threw grenades, witnesses said.
It marked the first attack targeting Westerners in a city braced for violent extremism since 2012.
"The members of the Security Council condemned in the strongest terms the terrorist attack in Bamako," a statement read.
It said demining personnel of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali and the European Union were among the dead.
Hospital sources said eight people were wounded, including three Swiss nationals, one of them a woman.
"The members of the Security Council called on the government of Mali to swiftly investigate this attack and bring the perpetrators to justice and stressed that those responsible for the attack shall be held accountable," the statement said.
Expressing their "deepest condolences to the families of the victims of this heinous act," the council members urged a renewed effort to "bring lasting peace and stability" to the restive country.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon joined in the condemnations, calling for a swift investigation and saying those responsible should be brought to justice.
A spokesman for Al-Murabitoun, a jihadist group run by leading Algerian militant Mokhtar Belmokhtar, claimed responsibility in an audio recording carried by Mauritanian news agency Al-Akbar, which frequently publishes what it says are statements from jihadist groups.

Show Your Out-of-Town Guests the Best of L.A. — Even If You Can't Go Along
If your out-of-town wedding guests have never been to Los Angeles, they'll probably want to see the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Rodeo Drive, the beach, and the other world-famous attractions in the area. It'd be wonderful if you had the time to take them around yourself, but if you don't, here's just a sampling of all the ways you can arrange for your guests to see L.A. without you. Even amidst all your wedding preparations, you may want to join them for an excursion or two.
If you're paying for their reservations in advance, all your guests will have to do is show up or, in some cases, be picked up right where they're staying. Make sure you run the activities with them ahead of time, though. There's always a chance your aunt wants to spend every free minute shopping in the Americana at Brand instead of doing the town. No matter where your guests choose to spend their time before the wedding, you can be sure any of the following tour options will appeal to their inner Hollywood star and prepare them for your glamorous big event at the gorgeous wedding venue you've chosen.
Touring by Bus
StarLine Tours has been in operation for 75 years, with pickups and drop-offs at most Los Angeles–area hotels.

Live, the Grammy Museum, Fashion District, Jewelry District, Our Lady Cathedral, Little Tokyo, Chinatown, and Grand Central Market).
Pick up a connecting bus to the tour at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Universal Studios, the Hilton or Sheraton Universal, or the Hollywood Bowl. If you don't get off the bus to do your own thing, the complete circuit takes about 4-1/2 hours; you can spend as much or as little time as you'd like at each stop.

Boil a very large pot of salted water. Have a large bowl of ice water ready. Blanch the whole Brussels sprouts in the boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and then put the sprouts into the ice bath. Once they've cooled down, drain them and cut off the stem ends and cut in half lengthwise and dry them off on some paper towels.
To give the Brussels sprouts a great carmelized texture, saute them in at least two batches -- you'll want them to to cook in a single layer in a very large skillet.
These directions assume you're cooking two batches: saute half of the cubed pancetta in the skillet over medium heat until the pancetta is crispy, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon or spatula, remove the pancetta to a paper towel and reserve. Keep the melted fat from the pancetta in the skillet (there should be about 2 tbsp). Increase the heat on the skillet to medium high and add half of the Brussels sprouts to the pan (watch out for some splatter, which is normal). Using tongs or a spatula, try to arrange as many of the sprouts cut side down as possible. Add 1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar to the skillet and shake and tilt the pan gently to evenly distribute the vinegar. Saute undisturbed. If the pancetta fat has been fully absorbed and the pan is dry, add a little olive oil. Toss the sprouts after about 4 minutes, adding the fried pancetta and half of the herbs, and saute until tender, about another 2-3 minutes. The cut sides of the sprouts ideally will be a dark brown color. Add pepper and a light amount of sea salt, to taste. Remove the sprouts to a serving bowl. Repeat the steps above with the second batch of ingredients. Remember to add some olive oil if the pan is getting too dry.
Toss the batches together and serve warm or room temperature.
Serves 6-10 people as a side dish.

a There were significant differences in the age distribution of users versus nonusers. The difference in age distribution of users compared with nonusers has a p-value of <0.0001.
b There were significant differences in the race distribution of users when compared with nonusers. The difference in race distribution of users compared with nonusers has a p-value of <0.0001.
c There were significant differences in the distribution of users compared with nonusers across CKD stages. The difference in the distribution of users compared with nonusers across CKD stages has a p-value of <0.0001.
d eGFR for this indicator was calculated using the isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS)-traceable MDRD Study equation for calibrated creatinine. We are currently in the process of updating this indicator to instead use the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation.
There were significant differences in the age and race distribution of users versus nonusers in the examined CKD cohort. Participants aged 70 years or older represented the largest proportion of those using at least one antihypertensive medication, while the largest proportion of nonusers in the CKD cohort were those aged 40 to 59 years. Participants identifying as "other race/ethnicity" represented the smallest proportion of users, while the smallest proportion of nonusers comprises participants identifying as "black." There were also significant differences in the distribution of users compared with nonusers across CKD stages. Stage 1 represented the highest proportion of nonusers, while stage 3 represented the highest proportion of users.
Chart Explanation: The baseline characteristics of users and nonusers of antihypertensive medication were compared in a CKD cohort. Users were defined as participants using at least one antihypertensive medication. 44.78% (n = 1873) of all participants with CKD reported using at least one antihypertensive medication. There were significant differences in the age and race distribution of users versus nonusers. Participants aged 70 years or older represented the largest proportion of those using at least one antihypertensive medication, while the largest proportion of nonusers in the CKD cohort were those aged 40 to 59 years.

The legal registration of PJSC Football Club Shakhtar in Mariupol will help bring an additional UAH 200 million to the city's budget every year, Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boichenko has said. "The Mariupol mayor appealed to FC Shakhtar's president, and the latter personally decided to register the football club in the city of Mariupol. Rinat Akhmetov is sure that this symbol of our land should be here in eastern Ukraine. He is deeply convicted that while Shakhtar cannot play at the Donbas Arena, but it is right here and it will help develop the football and sports infrastructure of Mariupol," he said.
Boichenko said that this decision would be taken as part of the sports development program in Mariupol, which the city authorities and FC Shakhtar will present and approve on March 5. "Based on the official statistics of our tax service, we are talking about additional income in the city of Mariupol of about UAH 200 million," the mayor said, speaking about the effect of FC Shakhtar's registration in Mariupol.
According to the single state register of legal entities and individuals, FC Shakhtar is now registered in Mariupol at 71A Sechenova Street. The club was previously registered in Donetsk at 86A Artema Street.

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A., vardagligt Petrobras, är Latinamerikas dominerande oljeföretag med huvudkontor i Rio de Janeiro. Det är världsledande inom avancerad teknologi för djuphavsborrning och hade fram till 1997 monopol på oljeproduktion i Brasilien. Petrobras är majoritetsägt av den brasilianska staten.

Historia
Företaget grundades 1953 av president Getúlio Vargas regering med brett politiskt stöd i Brasilien. 1954 fick företaget lagstadgat monopol på alla kommersiella aktiviteter relaterade till olja, naturgas och petroleumprodukter med undantag av distribution genom bensinstationer. Oljekrisen 1973 ledde nästan till att Petrobras gick i konkurs men året därpå upptäcktes en gigantisk oljekälla i Bacia de Campos som gav nya intäkter. 1997 upphörde oljemonopolet i Brasilien och Petrobras började konkurrera med privata aktörer men fortsatte ha en dominerande position.

I maj 2006 tillkännagav Bolivias president Evo Morales att landets samtliga olje- och gasfält skulle nationaliseras. Han beordrade samtidigt att militären skulle ockupera alla oljefält. Petrobas påverkades i hög grad av nationaliseringen då det hade en stor närvaro i landet och stod för hela 24% av Bolivias intäkter från företagsskatter. Senare samma år kom de bolivianska och brasilianska regeringarna överens om att Petrobras skulle erhålla 18% av vinsten från de förstatligade oljefälten.

2003 köper företaget upp Argentinas största oljeföretag Perez Companc Energía (PECOM Energía S.A.) inklusive dess baser i Bolivia, Peru och Paraguay. 2008 upptäcktes Tupifältet utanför Rio de Janeiros kust som uppskattades ha potential att producera 100 000 fat olja om dagen, motsvarande 40% av Brasiliens kända reserver.

I september 2010 tillkännagav företaget att man skulle sälja aktier för att finansiera framtida investeringar i teknologi för oljeborrning på extrema djup. Man sålde aktier på Rio de Janeirobörsen BM&F Bovespa för totalt 120,4 miljarder real, motsvarande nästan 70 miljarder US-dollar, vilket var världens i särklass största aktieemission. Den 23 september fastställdes priset på de nya aktierna. Sett till börsvärdet blev Petrobras direkt efteråt världens fjärde största företag.

Global närvaro

Petrobras har verksamhet i 27 länder (inklusive Brasilien). I de flesta av dessa länder består verksamheten enbart av representationskontor, men förutom i Brasilien har de större oljeplattformar i Indien, Turkiet, Angola och Nigeria.

The Director of Public Prosecution's Guidance on Charging 2020
The Director of Public Prosecution's Guidance on Charging (31st December 2020) provides a clear structure in which criminal allegations are investigated and prosecuted. Defence teams must have a detailed working knowledge of the Guidance as part of a proactive pre-charge engagement strategy.
The Guidance which was last updated by former DPP Keir Starmer in 2013 provides a clear set of guidelines for prosecutors and police 'to ensure cases are referred to the CPS at the right time; with the right material and information so that prosecutors can make immediate charging decisions and cases pass effectively and efficiently through the criminal justice system'.
The significance of the Guidance for defence teams
The Olliers Investigations Team place huge emphasis in monitoring the police and their compliance with the Guidance as part of our proactive approach to pre-charge work.
We look to engage with the police at an early stage of an investigation. We always consider whether we can make representations against charge, by arguing that there is not a 'realistic prospect of conviction' or that it is not in the public interest to prosecute. It is no coincidence that the Guidance was published on the same day (31st December 2020) as the arrangements for 'pre charge engagement' (Annex B Attorney General's Guidelines on Disclosure 2020).
Director of Public Prosecutions Max Hill QC;
'There has been a major shift in working practices and priorities throughout the criminal justice system in recent years and it is vital there is clear guidance to help police and prosecutors navigate these effectively.
The Attorney General's guidelines focus on getting disclosure right and getting it done early so its impact on the evidence is known. These are significant changes and we must continue to work collaboratively to embed them."
At Olliers we regard the Guidelines as a powerful resource during the pre-charge engagement process.
Areas covered by the Guidance
The Guidance is now in effect and takes the place of previous publications. The guidance outlines;
The charging process
Application of the Full Code Test in deciding whether to prosecute
The Threshold Test
Obtaining advice from a prosecutor
Out of court disposals
The National File Standard: material and information required for charging and prosecution
Understanding post charge case management
Division of responsibility between police and CPS
Procedure for charging referrals via the Digital Interface
Information required to be submitted to the Digital Interface before charging decisions can be made
Case types where early advice is recommended.
Understanding these provisions is at the heart of a proactive and engaged defence strategy.
The Guidance makes it clear that a police investigator must pursue all reasonable lines of enquiry even when they point away from a suspect and, at Olliers, we frequently remind officers of this requirement. It is particularly useful that the Guidance specifically addresses the manner in which the police should address certain types of evidence namely;
Audio visual evidence
Bad character evidence
Communication evidence
Identification evidence
Medical evidence
The Guidance recognises 'the overarching principles' set out in Sir Brian Leveson's review of 'Efficiency in Criminal Proceedings', the most important of which is perhaps the concept of 'getting it right first time'.
Police officers and prosecutors must comply with this Guidance to ensure that charging decisions are fair and consistent and comply with the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, the PACE Codes of Practice and the Code for Crown Prosecutors ("the Code"). As the police get to grips with the Guidance it is inevitable that mistakes will be made. Failure to follow the Guidance may risk cases failing or decisions being subject to legal challenge.
The guidance is issued by the DPP for police use, but the provisions apply equally to other investigators where cases are prosecuted by the CPS
At Olliers we recognise the importance of defence teams being at least as familiar with the obligations upon the police as are the police themselves.
