Anteros Studio Holders
Julia is a photographer who works with two main themes. The first is landscape photography producing evocative, and often almost abstract images that capture the landscape with a fresh perspective. She is passionate about Norfolk, particularly the sparseness of the coast and big skies that make her feel very small and in awe of her surroundings. She mainly takes her landscape photographs in winter, when the skies are delicate greys and there is a cloak of mist across the whole vista or haze on the horizon. Favourite spots are North Norfolk beaches at Holkham and Holme and the wonderfully desolate Breydon Water near Great Yarmouth.
The second strand of her work is the reworking of vintage photographs to produce new, contemporary interpretations. Small original photographs in sepia become large colourful images using a range of photographic techniques. In her current project she is using her own family album and the results will be shown in a solo show in late summer.
Julia has an MA in Public Art and Design from Chelsea College of Art and prior to moving to Norwich in 2001 was a lecturer in Art and Design in Surrey. She exhibits her work in Norfolk, Suffolk, London and Budapest and in 2016 was the winner of the Norfolk Contemporary Art Society Prize for an outstanding work of art. Judges described Julia's artworks as "quiet elegiac landscape photographs".

Annie Hudson
Annie Hudson's work is about exploring the landscape through drawing. She visits outlying coastal and mountainous regions of Britain, and in the studio translate studies and found natural objects into paintings, monotypes and in depth drawings. Annie is fascinated by the power and also the fragility of the land, and aims to express something of the dynamism of geology.
After gaining a Post Graduate Certificate from the Royal Academy Schools London, she moved to the West Country and later for 12 years lived and worked in Cumbria.
Annie has exhibited widely since 1976, including the RA Summer Exhibition, the Mercer Gallery Harrogate, and is represented online and at Art Fairs by the Watermark Gallery.

Craig J Frost
After completing our own fine art diploma here at Anteros in 2020, Craig decided to take on a studio space so he could continue to focus on his creative work. He graduated from a master's degree in art history from the UEA in 2018 where he specialised in 20th century art, philosophy and politics.
Picking up on themes he researched during his MA, Craig's work focusses on the built environment and how we interact with this space. He is fascinated but those areas of the city which are often overlooked or unseen, something he refers to as the 'urban void'. He's interested in how our movement around the built environment is presupposed according to a range of systems and rules and the sometimes apparently arbitrary designation of 'public' or 'private' space. He is also interested in the way history and historical events can shape our experience of a given place.
Craig predominantly works with a range of printmaking techniques and enjoys making one-off unique prints, as opposed to multiple editions in a series usually associated with printmaking techniques. He also enjoys experimenting with a range of mediums and materials, from oil paint to concrete. Drawing is central to Craig's practise and he'll often use the same drawing over and over in order to simplify his ideas; toward a more abstract and reduced realisation, rather than a strict visual representation of his source material. His work is characterised by a limited use of colour and a lively, graphic quality.
Craig is currently exploring a range of exhibition opportunities and hopes to be able to deliver some print making workshops in 2021.

Als ehemalige Erbschänke Muggenhof (auch Erbschenke Muggenhof) wird das heute denkmalgeschützte Anwesen Adolf-Braun-Straße 35 (zuvor Fuchsstraße 35) im 1889 nach Nürnberg eingemeindeten, heutigen Stadtbezirk Muggenhof bezeichnet. Es gehört zum ensemblegeschützten Weiler Muggenhof (). Bei dem Gebäude handelt es sich um einen zweigeschossigen Sandsteinbau mit Satteldach, Zwerchhäusern und Giebelbekrönung im neugotischen Stil. Das Gebäude wurde um 1850/60 neu errichtet.

Geschichte
Das Gaststätten- und Wohnstallhaus wurde Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts auf den Grundmauern der ältesten Gastwirtschaft Muggenhofs errichtet, der sogenannten "Erbschänke" bzw. ganz früher "Schenkstatt zu Muggenhof", deren Wurzeln bis um 1870 zurückreichten.

Vorgeschichte des Gebäudes – die eigentliche Erbschänke
Das Anwesen gehörte seit 1418 den Freiherren von Leonrod, seit 1459 auch urkundlich nachweisbar.

Das Brau- und Schankrecht wurde Georg von Leonrod am 7. Juli 1510 von Kaiser Maximilian I. per Urkunde bestätigt als "Erbschenke mit der Gerechtigkeit, daß in einer Viertel Meile (1 Meile = 7,414 975 km = 6 bayerische Fuß) wegs keine neue Schenkstatt eingerichtet werden darf". Dieses Privileg verursachte einen Jahrhunderte andauernden Streit zwischen der freien Reichsstadt Nürnberg und den Herren von Leonrod.

Bereits der erst Pächter der Wirtschaft, Han(n)s Hofmann, hatte Ende des 15. Jahrhunderts vom Rat der Stadt Nürnberg das Schenken verboten bekommen. Dennoch wurde er vom damaligen Eigentümer Han(n)s von Leonrod bedrängt, die Schenkstatt wiederzueröffnen. Hans von Leonrod betonte diesbezüglich immer, dass bereits sein Vater Wilhelm von Leonrad hier schenken ließ. Grundlage des Streits war der Umstand, dass die Reichsstadt Nürnberg bereits 1464 von Kaiser Friedrich III. ein Erbschankrecht auf eine  Meile im Umkreis erhalten hatte, weshalb dem Wirt in Muggenhof trotz des erhaltenen Schankrechts der Ausschank verboten werden sollte. Aufgrund des damals in Urkunden üblichen Passus "soweit keine älteren Rechte betroffen sind" versuchten die von Leonrods Schankrechte vor 1464 nachzuweisen.  Die Geschichte der Schenkstatt war noch lange Zeit wiederkehrend von Schenkverboten begleitet. Letztendlich einigte man sich in der zweiten Hälfte der 18. Jahrhunderts darauf, dass die von Leonrods der Stadt Nürnberg bis zu einem angestrebten, aber nie erfolgten Entscheid durch das Reichskammergericht die Hälfte der Getränkesteuer abführten.

Im zweiten Markgrafenkrieg brannte die Schenkstatt 1552 erstmals ab. Ein zweistöckiges Wirtshaus wurde danach wiedererrichtet. In den Jahren 1612 bis einschließlich 1635 ließ der Wirt Hans Höfler das Anwesen renovieren. Bekannt ist, dass im Herbst 1632 die gesamte Ortschaft niederbrannte. Erst 1622 hatte der Tuchfärber Georg Neumann die Schenkstatt mit der damaligen Hausnummer 1 erworben. Er hatte sich nach dem Erwerb den Bau des Nebengebäudes mit der Hausnummer 2 genehmigen lassen. Wann genau die Wirtschaft wieder aufgebaut wurde, ist nicht genau zu ermittelt, da die Bücher des Waldamtes bis nach 1700 aussetzen. Ein Ratshinweis aus dem Jahr 1645 deutet darauf hin, dass der Schankbetrieb zu dieser Zeit wieder aufgenommen war. Von 1699 bis 1751 war das Grundstück im Besitz der Nürnberger Patrizierfamilie Peller von Schoppershof, die auch das Pellerschloss erwarben.

1751 veräußerte Christoph Peller das Anwesen wieder an die Herren von Leonrod, die dann bis 1848 wieder Grundstückseigentümer waren. 1772 übernahm Leonhard Pfann als Wirt. Er erneuerte 1781 das baufällige Beständerhaus hinter der Gaststätte und ließ 1802 den Anbau der Gaststätte auf der Ostseite auf deren Giebelhöhe aufstocken.

1833 erhielten Gaststätte und zugehöriges Wohnhaus die Hausnummern 52 und 53.

Den Neubau der Gastwirtschaft veranlasste der damalige Guts- und Gasthofbesitzer Johann Georg Staudt, ein ehemaliger Landwehrmajor, der das Lokal 1848 übernommen hatte. J. Georg Staudt starb Anfang Oktober 1868 aufgrund eines Lungenleidens im Alter von 56 Jahren. Nach seinem Tod wurde das "Gastwirthschafts- und Oekonomie-Anwesen Hs.-Nr. 52 und 53 zu Muggenhof nebst dem übrigen Grundbesitz" aufgrund von Erbstreitigkeiten im März 1869 verkauft.

Der Gastbetrieb wurde 1885 von A. Kugler übernommen, der das Lokal anfangs als "Kaffee und Restaurant Muggenhof" und später unter dem Namen "Kuglers Restaurant" weiterhin als beliebte Ausflugsgaststätte betrieb. Mit der Eingemeindung Muggenhofs nach Nürnberg erhielten Gaststätte und Nebengebäude die Hausnummern Fuchsstraße 35 und 37. Zum Gastwirtschaftsgebäude mit Repräsentationsräumen und einem 150 m² großen Tanzsaal im Keller gehörte ein großer Biergarten. Das Gebäude wurde Mitte der 1920er Jahre restauriert. Die Wirtschaft wurde bis 1936 von der Familie Kugler selbst betrieben. Durch die 1931 in Betrieb genommene und direkt angrenzende Kläranlage Nord (jetzt Klärwerk 1) war das Geschäft stark eingebrochen. Die Witwe Käthe Gruber verpachtete die Wirtschaft zuletzt an die Wirtsleute F. Vogel und G. Dehn. Endgültig wurde der Wirtschaftsbetrieb im Haus dann 1942 eingestellt.

Während des Krieges wurden die Räumlichkeiten vom Luftschutz für Schlafräume und ein Materiallager requiriert.

Nutzung durch Spangler & Kaufmann (1945–1993)

Nach Kriegsende nutzte das 1945 von den Herren Spangler und Kaufmann (Vornamen nicht bekannt) gegründete Maschinenbauunternehmen Spangler & Kaufmann GmbH & Co. das Gebäude, dessen Firmenhauptsitz im angrenzenden Haus Adolf-Braun-Str. 37 lag.

Spangler & Kaufmann GmbH & Co. war ein kleines spezialisiertes Maschinenbauunternehmen. Wichtigstes Produkt in den 1980ern war eine automatisierte Rotations-Gießmaschine zur Herstellung von Hohlkörpern aus PE und PVC. Aber auch zahlreiche weitere Produktionsmaschinen (hauptsächlich aus dem Bereich Kunststoffverarbeitung) wurden gebaut, wie z. B. Trockner, Spritzkabinen oder Augeneinsetzer für Puppen. Firmenkunden waren Unternehmen im In- und Ausland, insbesondere auch im ehemaligen Ostblock sowie Nordafrika.

Später stieß Conrad Betzold mit zur Geschäftsleitung. Nach dem Tod von Spangler und später dem Ausscheiden von Kaufmann war Conrad Betzold alleiniger Geschäftsführer der Firma. Seit 1978 lautete die Firmenanschrift nach der Neuzuordnung Adolf-Braun-Straße 35–37.

Im Jahr 1993 wurde die Geschäftstätigkeit aufgegeben.

Aktuelle Nutzung
Aktuell wird das Areal von einem Kfz-Händler genutzt.

AFGHANISTAN: An "Annan Six Point Peace Plan for Afghanistan"
from the Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers
Dear Mr. Kofi Annan,
Salams from Afghanistan!
The six point peace plan which you have proposed for Syria has a collected calm that is missing in Afghanistan.
We are a grassroots group of ordinary, multi-ethnic Afghans and we're tired of our world being like it is. We wish for a life of non-violence, the unity of all people, equality, and self-reliance, and we seek non-military solutions for Afghanistan.
But the profoundly greedy and antagonistic governments of today do not practice these values. The ground realities of our daily lives do not match up with any 'ideal' that leaders double-speak of, so enough!
We no longer expect anything from any leader except self-interest. We respect them as fellow human beings but we will not submit to their status-quo exploitation of the 99%.
We will not be robbed, then blamed.
We will not be killed, then compensated.
Nowadays, the people of the world are protesting this unequal status quo, because we all wish to live freely, free from the economic and geopolitical wars that cling to us like the stubborn soot of serial arson.
We apologize for ventilating to you, but if you have the chance to visit this 'terrible war relic of a land', you will immediately feel in the air the greed and the antagonism that the 'war against terrorism' has set alight. We're not only speaking about the sights, sounds and smells of decay and death. We're describing the rotting of our souls.
We distrust one another. We're angry and hurting, and losing hope.
Meanwhile, the leaders strategize and fight behind closed doors, and make a show of negotiating. Their negotiations are ultimately tiring schemes to win through force.
Especially for Afghan mothers, force is the faucet of tears that won't be turned off.
For U.S. and NATO leaders, we wish we could cup and bring these oceans of tears across the miles to their shores, to reason peaceably with them that however 'just', 'necessary' and 'accurate' they imagine their targeted killings to be, wars do not work, especially not for the people.
Mr Annan, just as you had quickly concluded in Syria, we've experienced that further militarization in an already militarized Afghanistan has not only been unhelpful, it has been distastefully unkind.
An 'Annan Six Point Peace Plan for Afghanistan' would bear immediate relevance for Afghanistan…

I was working on making a Choose Your Own Adventure style game, but it really didn't work out. I'm a big fan of Construct, but their text object tools are horrible. Objects can spawn objects and objects can spawn text but text can't spawn text? Madness! Rather than totally giving up on the idea, I took the story text and art and made a ridiculously simplified version of the game using folders, so I present it to you today. It's set in the Mercynaries and all the oddities that entails, so enjoy!
After finishing up the story, it unintentionally had some similarities to another writer's story. They're not supposed to be related but there were enough similarities that it bugged me and I reached out to her. She said it was cool to post it, so if you're a fan of Mercs, you'll probably like Steph's Funhouse story. Stop by her site, give it a read, and leave her a comment!


The first and most obvious reason why you should have your phone screen fixed is that it is often less expensive than buying a whole new phone. While a new phone could cost you upwards of $500, you can typically get your screen fixed for around $100. With these savings, it's worth getting the money together now to make the repair rather than wait for things to get worse. Even if it's not currently in your budget, there are ways to secure money for emergency expenses.
Another great thing about getting your phone screen fixed on its own, is that the process is not time-consuming. Typically, private salespersons selling their services can fix your phone in about an hour. Or, you could order the parts online and fix it yourself in around the same amount of time, minus shipping. Either way, it is not very hard to do.
Fixing your phone screen can add value. Usually if your phone breaks then your phone company will not take it back. This means you are stuck with the broken phone, even if you don't want to use it anymore, you could always fix the screen and then sell it. If you are going to keep it anyway, you might as well invest a little bit of money into it and sell it for profit. Of course, if your contract with that particular model is up, some providers like AT&T allow you to upgrade with no extra charge if you have an existing plan with them.
Do you really want to give even more money to the company who you already bought your expensive phone from? If you are mad at them for not making your phone screen strong enough, then you probably want to refrain from giving them any more money. This is another reason to have your screen fixed by someone other than the official company.
While you are opening up your phone and digging around, why not add some personalization? If you fix your screen on your own, you can do things like install a different color screen, or put special lights inside the phone. Either way, this can add a cool, personal new feel and look to your phone.
Dropping your phone on accident can leave you with your heart in your mouth, but if you do end up with a big crack or spiderweb, don't worry. There are plenty of ways to repair a broken phone and get it looking like new in no time. And don't forget to add a screen protector this time!

Rates at most Bermuda restaurants are far from cheap. Many charge pretty high prices for the kind of food and service they offer, and it can take you by surprise. So is it actually possible to eat out cheap in the island? If you are comparing rates with a downtown street-side eatery in New York, then the answer is a clear NO. Most food and ingredients are imported in the island with few exceptions like freshly caught seafood, local farm produce etc. But the restaurants who offer such fresh island produce, will not likely be cheap anyway.
So how to eat cheap in Bermuda? There are actually some great budget restaurants and eateries whose rates are quite reasonable. I'll come to those shortly.
So how much will you spend to dine in such budget restaurants in Bermuda? Well that depends on what you order. But to give you an idea, a couple having a starter or a soup/salad and a main course each, can typically expect a bill of about $55-$60 plus gratuity (or tips) in a good sit & dine budget restaurant. A cocktail, spirit or a beer would additionally cost about $10 each. That's the minimum it can go at a proper budget restaurant.
There are plenty of other options as well for eating cheap in Bermuda. Several small eateries offer take out food. They are definitely cheaper. If you buy Deli type food from super markets or large grocery stores, they will also be cheaper.
You can get sandwiches, wraps, burgers, roasted chicken, seafood etc from deli counters. But take out or deli food is typically suitable if you are staying in an apartment where you carry your food, heat it up in microwave oven and eat. For lunch, you can always carry your packed food to a public park and eat as well. Many do so.
Unfortunately or fortunately, there is no international fast food chains like McDonalds or Pizza Hut in Bermuda. The only exception is an outlet of KFC (in a prominent red & brown building) located on Queen street at Hamilton City.
Here a combo which includes chicken pieces, burger or wrap with fries and soda, will typically cost $10 to $11. Several small eateries with take-out counters and local fast food outlets also offer nice fried fish sandwich, jerk chicken, wraps, salads etc costing $11-12... and they are quite filling & good.
And there are several mobile food vendors who sell hot food of all types (like Bermudian, barbecue, western etc) from their trucks, vans or carts that are specially designed for that purpose. Some are excellent and the food is cheap.
Below I have reviewed all those budget eateries in Bermuda (restaurants, take out, deli and mobile food) that are our personal favorites and offer reasonable prices for the food they serve. We have tried them several times and found them to be the best of the lot. I have indicated the primary cuisine they serve and their price categories next to their names. Note that almost always, a 15% gratuity is added to your bill. And if so, then you need not pay further tips.
If you are looking for the best and cheap fried fish sandwich in the island, then you don't need to look any further. This small eatery located in Hamilton (at the outskirts though) and in St. George has made a brand name for itself when it comes to fish sandwich made with fresh locally caught fish. It offers several other items like burgers, soups, salads etc. They mainly offer takeouts although the eatery at St. George has a small patio at the back side for eating. Update: The outlet at St. George has closed down.
If you are savvy to spicy Indian food, this is one of the best restaurants serving authentic Indian cuisine. However you can also ask them to make low or medium spicy food. The restaurant is located a bit off Hamilton proper and will require about 15 minutes walk from Ferry terminal unless you have a taxi.
This is where locals go, a restaurant & bar serving excellent fish sandwich and other local cuisine.
Looking for homemade food where locals frequent? Then this family run restaurant is another great budget choice. The inside ambience is simple yet spacious and charming.
Great casual breakfast, lunch, coffee and tea in a relaxed environment with friendly hosts. Fair trade price and fresh organic ingredients used in making the salads, paninis, wraps, sandwiches etc. If you have your laptop, you can spend hours here surfing at a reasonable rate and enjoying a latte.
It has a nice setting overlooking the Hamilton harbor and serving contemporary Bermudian along with Latin & Asian food. Lunch on the balcony while enjoying the sun can be special.
A beach bar located right next to Clearwater each and favorite to locals. You will get authentic local vibe here with reggae music playing, ceiling fans, casual yet very friendly ambience and lots of locals to chat with. A great place to have drinks and Bermudian snacks like fish sandwich on raisin breads while enjoying the lovely beach in a relatively tourist free area.
This is a chain and have several outlets across the island. You get good healthy sandwiches, salads, wraps, muffins, fruit salad, coffee etc. Most outlets are takeaway places, however few have table services. Good affordable food.
They offer a large variations of pizzas which they make on wood burning brick ovens. Menu also includes many other Italian dishes. The restaurant is family & kid friendly.
This is a small eatery offering mainly take out food. They offer wide range of Chinese and Sushi dishes at very reasonable prices.
Great family run restaurant serving authentic seafood. The owner runs a fishing business and therefore able to offer dishes made with freshly caught fish. This is a family friendly restaurant and a great place to experience authentic local seafood cuisine in a relaxed casual ambience. There is a bar as well offering spirits, beer and island cocktails. TVs on the walls show sports channels.
A restaurant on Front Street with an upstairs balcony overlooking the harbor. The inside dining too has a nice ambience. Great food and service.
This is a small restaurant located at the western side of Hamilton serving great European dishes. Other than set menu they have daily specials which change frequently. You will find lots of hats of different shapes and sizes hanging from the walls and ceilings. Because of its friendly ambience, great service and excellent food quality, the restaurant is popular with both locals and tourists. It has both inside and outdoor dining.
Here you can find some great local fish and lobster items. Black rum and sherry peppers are the secret ingredients in the fish chowder. Great preparation of Baked fish and lobsters.
This is an old fashioned Bermuda pub. They say that the 'Cheers' pub of Boston took its inspiration from Hog Penny. Our favorites here are the Fish Chowder and Mussels.
A great Italian restaurant, it's a favorite for Pizzas and other excellent Italian food.
This is the oldest pub in Bermuda and creator of the Bermuda's well known cocktail drink - The Rum Swizzle.
If you are looking for hearty food in a casual atmosphere, this is the place to go. Islanders fill most of the tables at night. But it's located a little far in St. David's island at the eastern end and easier to reach from St. George (by taking bus #6 from Kings Square).
The restaurant provides a great option for breakfast, lunch and dinner with night-time entertainment.
This is one of the oldest pubs within the dockyard with an ambience of a traditional British pub and offering pub fares and nice food in both inside and outdoor dining space. They also have an associated brewery making local beer.

Food varieties here includes burritos & many other Mexican food with meat and organic vegetables, pasta food station, salads, cold cuts, shakes, fruit juices, 'Around the World' buffet serving food from all over the world, cakes, coffee and lot more. Ideal for lunch or snacks if you happen to be in Hamilton. The Food Court is located at Washington Mall (20 Church Street), lower level, Phase III building, Hamilton.
Mobile food offered out of trucks, vans and carts are fast catching up in the island. This is a cheap way of having nice hot food. You get varieties of food & cuisine prepared fresh from local ingredients. These are great for having quick breakfast, lunch and even dinner while paying half the price of a standard restaurant. Visit Mobile Food from Trucks, Vans & Carts for details about some of the most popular mobile food eateries in Bermuda.
There are several supermarkets and grocery stores in Bermuda which offer packed pre-cooked deli type food which are relatively inexpensive. Miles Market is probably the best in the island when it comes to quality and range of such food they offer. They are great for having quick hot lunch and even carrying them for picnics. Check out Food from Supermarkets & Groceries to get information about all such places including location, type of food, open hours etc.
It has replaced the old Tea Room, but continues to serve nice food in the same place.

This is a great list! I cruise to Bermuda often and now that I've visited most of the sites I want to see, I'm ready to explore restaurants and pubs. I'm printing this list and taking it with me when I come down in May. One spot I found, that didn't make it onto the list, but it's not that obvious, is a sandwich counter that is in the rear of the pharmacy at King's Wharf in the dockyard.
Exceptionally fresh sandwiches, friendly service. Take-out, but there are picnic tables in the immediate area, or you can bring food back to the ship. Definitely a $. I buy sandwiches here, as well as snacks and bottled water. Way cheaper than buying on board. If you go inside the Mall at Kings Wharf and have a sweet tooth, there is an amazing fudge stand. Rich, creamy fudge, variety of flavors. I hope they are still there!
I just returned from Bermuda last week, staying in St George. The absolute best fast reasonable restaurant was Art Mels Spicy Dicy. He makes the best fish sandwich ($11:50) which is so huge you cannot bite into it without removing at least 5-8 pieces of fish!! My daughter and I shared one sandwich, giving us 3 meals. You can eat there or take out.. Very casual. We tried several items including his homemade gingerbread. Everything we tried was delicious. Just the Bomb!!! That was our go to place. He apparently has another location in Hamilton run by his son.

Q: How many server blocks can I add in Nginx Conf? I found this question
How many server blocks can I add in Nginx Conf
But I don't think adjust server_names_hash_bucket_size and server_names_hash_max_size is the answer.
Because the explanation from Nginx is this:
If a large number of server names are defined, or unusually long server names are defined, tuning the server_names_hash_max_size and server_names_hash_bucket_size directives at the http level may become necessary.
Which means changing this 2 values will only solve the issue of having large number of server names but not the sever blocks.
In my case, I will have to create 10000 of server block and each block has one server name.
Anyone knows if there is a maximum number on how many server blocks that I can create?

Tracking a weak overseas trend and slackened demand from jewellers, gold continued its losing streak for the fourth straight day and prices tumbled by Rs 175 to Rs 26,400 per 10 grams in the national capital today.
However, silver recovered by Rs 50 to Rs 34,750 per kg on scattered enquiries from industrial units and coin makers.
Bullion traders said a weakening global trend after consumer confidence in the US unexpectedly rose in September, building the case for an interest rate increase this year, dampened the sentiment here.
Globally, gold fell 0.4 per cent to USD 1,123.03 an ounce in Singapore.
Sluggish demand from jewellers and retailers and rupee strengthening against the dollar, making imports cheaper, too put pressure on gold prices, they said.
In the national capital, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity dropped by another Rs 175 each to Rs 26,400 and Rs 26,250 per ten grams, respectively. The precious metal had lost Rs 675 in the previous three sessions.
Sovereign also plunged by Rs 150 at Rs 22,200 per piece of eight grams.
On the other hand, silver ready recovered marginally by Rs 50 to Rs 34,750 per kg, while weekly-based delivery shed Rs 15 at Rs 34,815 per kg on lack of buying support.

These were sold online at Squatty Potty and on Amazon.com for $50 from September 2017 through November 2017. The stool is shaped and looks like a gray hippopotamus with purple or blue eyes. This recall affects around 2,400 step stools.

Great American food in Belgium, delivered fast to your door.
Many European influences can be found in what is now considered traditional American dishes, which goes a long way to explain the diversity of the food on offer. And it's hugely popular all over the world, whether you're after a burger, Tex Mex or Asian American fusion. Sometimes nothing will hit the spot quite like some US-style food, particularly when it comes to something you want to enjoy at home.
Chicken is really tasty, cooked well and the veggies, parmesan, and mayo complemented it well. Fresh bread. Only down side was that the water from the chicken made the bread a bit soggy and the sandwich very messy to eat!
Good and quick. Food was a bit cold but ok.
Best burger I've eaten in Brussels so far! Meat is juicy and delicious! A must try for burger lovers!
Food was delivered warm andright on time! As per usual with Huggy's bar, the tastiest burgers! Very good service!
Wonderful food and great to put all the packaging in the paper bin - no plastic in sight!

South Korea Really Loves Pokémon Bread
In just one week, 1.5 million Pocket Monster snacks were sold in the country
My kids ate a bunch of Pokémon bread.
Screenshot: 김용녀/YouTube/Kotaku
For the first time in about twenty years, Pokémon bread has gone back on sale in South Korea. And the snacks are flying off the shelves.
Street Fighter 6 Has The Best Training Mode I've Ever Seen
God Of War Is Still The GOAT For Opening Boss Fights
A Saucy Romance Game Where You Play As Dracula
The Pokémon anime didn't debut in South Korea until 1999 due to the country's ban on Japanese goods. The bread was available in South Korea around that time through the early 2000s, but stopped being sold after that. Chosun Online reports that Pokémon bread returned to Korean shops in late February 2022, priced at 1,500 won ($1.22) a piece.
Pokémon bread is a popular snack in its native Japan. My kids grew up eating it, and while the bread isn't that great to be honest, it definitely appeals to fans: Each piece of bread is wrapped in Pocket Monster themed packaging, and comes with collectible Pokémon stickers.
According to Chosun Online, in just its first week back on sale in South Korea, there were 1.5 million Pokémon bread snacks sold. What's reportedly driving the sales are folks in their 20s and 30s who were children when the bread was previously sold in South Korea. Probably out of nostalgia, they've snapped up the snack.
On social media and YouTube, fans and influencers have also been posting images and reviews of Pokémon bread. Others have been buying hundreds of Pokémon bread snacks, streaming each sticker they pulled.
All of this has further fueled interest. There are reports of the snacks selling out, with diehards going from convenience store to convenience store in hopes of landing the desirable treat. The stickers are also being sold individually online in South Korea, with some commanding much higher prices. The Squirtle sticker, for example, is said to be going for 15,000 won ($12.20). That's ten times more expensive than a piece of the actual bread! To get Pokémon bread stickers like that, you gotta eat 'em all.

Pay Policy Statement 2019/20
Meeting: 21/02/2019 - Council (Item 31)
31 Pay Policy Statement 2019/20 (Agenda item 14) PDF 61 KB
Report of Councillor Alison Webb, Executive Member for People & Information.
Appendix 1 Pay Policy Statement 2019/20, item 31 PDF 170 KB
Councillor Alison Webb, the Executive Member for People & Information presented the report. The Pay Policy Statement was a statutory requirement and had already been considered by the Overview & Scrutiny Commission at its meeting on 31 January 2019.
RESOLVED that the Pay Policy Statement be approved.
Meeting: 31/01/2019 - Overview and Scrutiny Commission (Item 8)
8 Pay Policy Statement 2019/20 (Agenda item 8) PDF 61 KB
Report of Executive Member for People and Information, Councillor Alison Webb.
Appendix 1 Pay Policy Statement 2019/20, item 8 PDF 161 KB
The Executive Member for People & Information presented the Pay Policy Statement to Members. Under Section 38 of the Localism Act, a Pay Policy Statement was required to be produced annually and approved by 31 March each year.
Councillor Dimoglou asked about the 'makeup' of the Joint Appointments & Disciplinary Committee. He also asked about the Chief Officer pay-bands and why there were such vast differences between them and who decided where these people were put.
The Executive Director for Strategy & Governance explained that pay grades were set collectively by the Joint Appointments & Disciplinary Committee and the pay bands were created via job evaluations that all local Councils had to abide by.
Councillor Joel asked if South Holland staff were on the same pay ceilings as Breckland. Members were informed that it had been agreed that all shared staff would be under Breckland Councils terms & conditions and pay grades. A recent review of South Holland District Council's terms and conditions had been undertaken and were now much more aligned.
Councillor Jermy drew attention to the fact that during his discussions with the Independent Remuneration Panel members, a Panel that set the Members' allowances, an allowance for the use of electric vehicles was discussed and he asked if this could be considered for staff.
The Executive Director for Strategy and Governance said that this would be investigated.
RECOMMEND to Council that the Pay Policy Statement be approved.


Young drivers may one day be prohibited from giving lifts to passengers until six to nine months after passing their driving test. The government is looking into the tactic with a view to reducing the disproportionately high number of deaths, crashes and claims by 17 to 24-year-old drivers.
New drivers may be banned from driving with their mates.
McLoughlin has a point. Statistics indicate an 18-year-old is over three times more likely than a 48-year-old to be involved in a crash. But some critics say not being able to carry passengers during the first few months of driving may have a negative effect.
At this time the idea is a long way from becoming law but the Department for Transport has said it will consider carefully any ideas that reduce the risks of accidents involving young drivers.
Do you think we should ban young drivers from driving passengers around in the first year? Or is it just unnecessary mollycoddling? Let us know.

The National Heroes series dedicates the year 2018 to personalities from the military milieu. The sixth gold ducat of the cycle commemorates the fate of Karel Janousek.
The term heroism is often associated with violent and therefore premature death. Person who has suffered a sacrifice for the national community or higher ideals is generally considered to be a hero. However, the hero could also be a man who had enjoyed a blessed age, as in the case of general Karel Janousek. Although he did not fall in the fight with the enemy, he devoted most of his life to the struggle for the freedom of his homeland whether in the ranks of the Czechoslovak legions where he fought in the battle of Zborov and passed the Siberian anabasis, in the Czechoslovak army where he decided to leave the infantry to the Air Force and to replace the comfortable staffing office for the cockpit of the aircraft or the British Royal Air Force where he enforced the creation of independent Czechoslovak warships. While the British King appreciated his activities by appointing him a Marshal, the Communist regime wanted to send him to the execution and eventually "only" sentenced him to a long imprisonment.
"The obverse side of the ducat is dominated by a portrait of Karel Janousek inspired by photographs from the peak of his military mission. The sight of the narrow eyes, used to watch the airspace, which is symbolized by the matte and shiny stripes on the background of the portrait, turns to the left, implying the fate that was prepared by postwar left-wing totalitarian regime after february," explains academic sculptor Jiri Dostal, who was the author of the ducat. The reverse side presents the silhouette of the fighter plane and a number of vertical lines evoking the bars of communist jail.
An integral part of the issue is a spectacular packaging in the form of a booklet which includes the thematic essay by the historian PhDr. Petr Koura, Ph.D.

Concacaf and Conmebol are already competing 'side-by-side'
Published: - Apr 13, 2019
Football	Concacaf FIFA	Conmebol
Listen this article
In the past FIFA date, the Central American teams gave a slap to those of South America: of eight games they played among themselves, they did not lose any
At the end of March, the news in the world of football, especially the American one, was the result of the clashes between the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) and the Confederation of North America, Central America and the Caribbean Football (CONCACAF) that, of eight games played among themselves, the teams from the south of the continent couldn't win even one.
Leer en español: ¡Concacaf ya le compite 'de tú a tú' a la Conmebol!
As reported by ESPN, of these meetings, the teams from Central and North America won four and tied four, with special participation from Mexico, which managed two wins against Chile (3-1) and against Paraguay (4-2). The picture of victories is completed by the amazing 2-0 of El Salvador to Peru and the 1-0 of the United States to Ecuador.
For its part, Panama tied a goal against Brazil, like 'La Roja' against the United States, while Ecuador drew 0-0 with Honduras, and Bolivia did not go further a 2-2 result against Nicaragua.
Resumen CONCACAF vs. CONMEBOL en marzo de 2019 (8 enfrentamientos en los que hubo 4 empates):
CONCACAF: CUATRO victorias y 14 goles a favor.
CONMEBOL: CERO victorias y 7 goles a favor.
— MisterChip (Alexis) (@2010MisterChip) 27 de marzo de 2019
Change of command?
It is no secret to anyone that CONMEBOL throughout history leads the numbers in terms of direct clashes with the CONCACAF teams. According to the Data-Driven Solutions platform (Data4), for 2016, the confederations had faced each other a total of 697 times. At that time, 48% of the historical encounters resulted in victories for the South American teams, against 27% of victories achieved by the selections of the upper part of the American continent.
Only three years ago, in the Copa America Centenario, the two finalist teams of the same tournament in 2015, Chile and Argentina, as well as the gold finalists in the same year, Mexico and the United States, faced each other in clashes that demonstrated the supremacy of CONMEBOL against CONCACAF. The exercise conducted by the newspaper AS showed that in both games the South Americans were superior in every way, especially in the score: Chile 7-0 Mexico, in the quarterfinals, and Argentina 4-0 United States, in the semifinals of the cup.
However, the result of the last FIFA date resulted in a pleasant surprise for American and Central American fans, while generating some doubts and concerns for their South American peers.
Data4 ensures that only once in history has CONCACAF been superior to CONMEBOL, and it was in the decade of the 60, when the first exceeded by a victory (20) the second (19), out of a total of 49 matches that they were played from 1960 to 1969. Now, this is the story that the South Americans of today do not want to live.
Los Sudamericanos no podemos ignorar lo que sucede en Concacaf, creernos superiores solo por la historia es caer en la misma arrogancia que llevó a Inglaterra a ignorar el desarrollo del fútbol en el resto del Mundo y cuando compitieron se dieron cuenta que no podían competir.
— Richard Mendez (@RichardGol_espn) 27 de marzo de 2019

Lack of planning
However, which could be the reason for what many have considered as a decline of South American football? Perhaps the best answer is the one that the BBC presented in one of its articles, which explains that, although in the South they have men of great renown in the best European leagues and the rest of the world, in their national teams they do not have same as in their clubs: a process.
The English media remembers that there are very few South American teams that believe in planning as a basis to be able to reap victories in the future, highlighting the work of Uruguay that has been headed by Óscar Tabárez for more than 10 years. At his command, 'La Celeste' reached a Copa America (2011), as well as the semifinals and quarterfinals of the World Cups in South Africa 2010 and Russia 2018, respectively.
Although Chile also showed support for a process with a surprising generation of players who stayed with the last two Copa America, 'La Roja' has not been able to raise its head after not qualifying for the last World Cup and the starry arrival that the Colombian Reinaldo Rueda to the technical bench has had.
The rest of the teams have not decided to believe in true processes that lead them to win triumphs. There are examples such as Brazil (Tite), Peru (Ricardo Gareca) and Venezuela (Rafael Dudamel) who have retained their coaches for several years, but have not been able to determine what their dream formation is, testing with players who pass lightly through the international teams of your country, without establishing themselves as truly indispensable for the growth of them.
On the other hand, there are some like Colombia and Argentina, that until now are organizing a new beginning, hoping to fulfill the two America Cups that already arrive (2019 and 2020), as well as the qualifiers to Qatar 2022; everything in a race against time, which is needed to sow serious processes if what they really want is to win.

It was so nice to be able to meet up with some friends to talk about the study we are looking at together - Job. We got to meet up early, let the kids play downstairs, & didnt even have to worry about make up, or getting out of sweat pants & just get to love on one another. It made it a perfect day off.
I still am so excited I get Martin Luther King Jr. day off now at my job.
So obviously, since its discussed every day of my life now - I'm in with the colorectal specialist that I just really am so glad I found. But the Physician's Assistant that works with the doctor is whose been seeing me on all these follow up appointments & she's just incredible. She's always in the room when the doctor sees me too - & was there at my surgery - so she's not stranger. But she's just the kindest lady. While I really like my doctor, she's a In-out-fast kinda doctor & the PA? She will literally sit & answer every question you have, make sure you're doing OK - just has a really personal one on one touch. I just really am glad I found this team. Wish I didnt NEED them, but glad I found them.
The gray was BAAAAAAD! I may have gone through a quarter of that hair spray that's out now for the past week & a half.
Let's add that to the list too! This stuff is amazing! Anyone else with roots showing use it? It matches my red so well too. I am always terrified they're going to stop making it & want to hoard up on it. Screw you Marie Kondo!
I just love that I can go find a list of books I want online at my library, click that I want to check them out & BAM - the next day, they are sitting on a shelf for me & all I have to do is walk in, grab, check out & go. It's so fast & easy. I honestly dont understand how more people dont take advantage of libraries.
Well.... this was a bad thing that turned into a good thing. We didnt have any mail that came in one day & I hated it that I was going to be behind on things, but man, it came at the perfect time because I have another part of my old job that I've taken with me into my new position & it takes about 3-4 hours to do & I wasn't sure when I was going to be able to do it. I just figured late nights & over time or weekend work - but this day opened up just in time for me to get this task done. Perfect timing!
I was glad I remembered to get out & get some stamps before the price increased on Sunday. I will buy a few stamps that I like to keep for a collection & it was funny, I bought an extra Scooby Doo (Ricky LOVES Scooby Doo) & put them with my old stamps (A lot of Disney stamps & Harry Potter & super hero stamps) - I look back & see my stamps that I have that were like 19 cents & 24 cents & 29 cents.... man, those were the days, huh?
I honestly have been struggling to read this year. Just havent been in the mood & haven't really had the time like I used to have for reading. So I was excited for the #24in48 readathon that pushed me to set things aside & grab a book. I ended up getting through 3 books & I was glad for the reminder that I can get through a book straight in a few hours.

Passion? Check. Vision? Got it. Five-year strategic business plan? Triple-check. Tomorrow's to-do list? Hmm, not so much. Every startup begins with an idea in search of a business model, but your startup's growth and development—and how you transition it into a more established company—is a unique journey.
While a powerful vision can start a company, it's not what makes it last. No matter your goal—whether to be acquired or to become the next Google, Facebook, or Uber—that journey requires innovation, focus, determination, and a willingness to embrace a few business basics. As old-school as it sounds, a back-to-basics approach is a winning formula. We look at six essential business strategies for long-term success.
Notice we didn't say "Focus on Standing Still." You may think we're stating the obvious, but if you want your business to succeed, you need to be disciplined about growth. Developing something shiny and pretty and then waiting for people to come to you won't work. Successful, growing companies think very seriously about growth—where it will come from, how to get it, how to nurture it, and how to expand.
If you haven't done so yet, implement a concerted "awareness" marketing effort that includes social media, blogging, SEO, and content development to help expand your visibility. If you can afford it, get an experienced PR team on board to get you in front of the appropriate press and influencers.
Are you focusing on the right market? Do some research and find out. Look to the industry or the companies most similar to yours. Know your industry and learn what you can from those who came before you. Understand the big picture and embrace the fact that customer needs constantly change. Your job is to anticipate and contribute to that change.
Make no mistake, this is a BIG deal. Chances are that you work 60- to 80-hours a week, so hiring the right team is critical to your success. Find people who are committed to the startup environment, people who are doers and will get things done regardless of the resources or the challenges. Tenacity, energy, and a bit of fearlessness should be at the top of your list. A diverse group—whether it's generational, geographical, or experiential—is something to consider as well.
This applies to the companies you work with, too. Whether it's a partner, a PR firm or some other vendor, you need to team wisely. Are potential hires or vendors experienced? Do they know your industry? What's their success rate? How quickly can they pivot or shift gears? Will they take your call at 2 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon?
Relevance dominates. "Companies are afraid to ask the relevance question; 'Is what I am making or selling still relevant, and will it be five or ten years from now?'" says innovation expert Debra Kaye, author of the book Red Thread Thinking. She goes on to say, "But they need to ask it every year, because if a company loses relevance, it dies."
Why is staying relevant such a challenge? The simplest explanation is that things change. Customer needs evolve, and sometimes the competition gets better at filling those needs. Professionally, it's important to network and to stay abreast of new technologies and market shifts. Reassess your ideas and ask yourself if they're still relevant. Are you talking with your existing customers? What are you learning? Have you identified any new risks or issues? If so, embrace the challenge and be ready to make a change.
As a business leader, it's critical to make sure people on your team have the opportunity for honest dialogue. Have everyone be part of the conversation. I'm a big believer in walking around and asking questions. Leaders need to be interested, receptive, and approachable. Make sure that you go beyond your four walls—talk to customers, partners, and others in your industry.
Feedback is all about listening to your customers and potential customers to figure out what you should be doing differently—whether it's improving your product or service, changing it, or changing your pricing. Listen and learn.
Close a big deal? Sign on a major partner or reseller? Did you recently launch a new product or service? Hit a major milestone? Cue the confetti. Actively celebrate when things go right. This goes for the small wins too (customer referral, press, heck—even a bug fix).
It's really important to note those points of progress, since it's very rare for a business to explode overnight. Rather, it's much more likely to be a series of little steps and little wins that all combine to help you find the pathway to success.
Namaste, people, namaste. The startup life can be draining. Long hours, crazy travel, and anxiety-filled quarter ends. That means it's critical to take time off every once in a while. Step away from the office, unplug a bit and allow yourself the luxury of some much needed downtime.
Trust me. Burnout is real, and it can it pose a serious problem both for business leaders and the folks on their team. Lead by example. Take that vacation and encourage your employees to do the same. They'll be much more apt to sustain those 60-hour startup workweeks if they're rested and recharged.

I'd like to be able to change variables on the Arduino by adjusting a set of knobs. When I get to a desirable setting I'd like to be able to save those settings on the Arduino... and then I'd like to be able to load those settings back, and have the knobs turn themselves back to the correct positions. Specifically I'm thinking of using this with a synthesizer.
I understand how to do all of this, except, I don't know if there are knobs that allow this type of behavior.
If you attach a knob to the Analog Feedback Micro Servo, either directly or via gears, then you can use the pot output to measure the current position and use the normal servo control protocol to turn it under software control.
Not a knob, but depending on your application, would a motorized slider like this be applicable?
You would read it just as you would a potentiality, and you have a motor that you can use to drive it to a specific position when you make a change in your software.
As for knobs, I have seen very few if any motorized knobs. What I would recommend here would be a continuous rotation encoder so that the position of the knob actually doesn't matter.
Alternatively, just add an LED/LCD display on top of each knob (or have a larger LCD showing info for all the knobs) to show the value. Then you can have the knobs implemented with an optical rotary encoder.
Each knob is unmarked and doesn't need to be reset.
This solution doesn't put any mechanical part under strain.
If you can't get a motorised potentiometer could you use a rotary encoder, a motor, a shaft and some cogs. Press the shaft and rotate manually then release and it disengages the manual cog and moves back to the motor cog.

New police chiefs in Minneapolis, St. Paul will navigate unique challenges
Minneapolis hired an outside candidate to create change, while St. Paul hired an insider who knows the department well.
Author: Danny Spewak
Published: 10:01 PM CDT November 3, 2022
Updated: 10:01 PM CDT November 3, 2022
MINNEAPOLIS — The Twin Cities are navigating a new era of policing -- together.
On Thursday, the Minneapolis City Council unanimously confirmed Brian O'Hara as the next police chief, putting its faith in an external candidate from Newark, New Jersey, to remake the police department after the murder of George Floyd. O'Hara is the first chief hired from outside MPD in nearly two decades.
"I'm not here," O'Hara said at a news conference, "to maintain the status quo."
Also this week, in neighboring St. Paul, Mayor Melvin Carter nominated longtime Saint Paul Police Department veteran Axel Henry as the next police chief, subject to council approval later this month. Henry, who has risen the ranks over the past 24 years from police officer to commander, grew up in St. Paul and attended public schools in the city.
"Success leaves clues. We know how to do it," Henry said. "And we do it together."
Although the two police chiefs are different on the surface, Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association Executive Director Jeff Potts sees similarities in the tasks ahead.
"I think both chiefs -- one being an insider in St. Paul, one being an external chief -- are both going to come in and be really focused on trying to address gun violence in both cities," Potts said. "And both cities are trying to address staffing issues. It will be interesting to see how both of those chiefs try to address those issues very quickly."
Potts, the former Bloomington Police Chief, said both O'Hara and Henry will focus in these early weeks on filling out their command staffs. He can more closely relate to Henry's position in St. Paul, having been an internal candidate in Bloomington.
"I was a commander, then became a police chief, really jumping two ranks," Potts said. "And there's a lot to learn. A lot to learn about being a police chief opposed to someone being on the command staff."
That learning curve will be even steeper for O'Hara, who was born and raised in New Jersey. Since arriving in Minneapolis, O'Hara said he's already been meeting with community members in North Minneapolis, Cedar-Riverside and South Minneapolis, and he's also met with police officers on ride-alongs and during roll calls.
However, O'Hara was selected partly because of his experience overseeing a Department of Justice consent decree in Newark, which is likely to come to Minneapolis at the conclusion of an ongoing federal investigation.
"That experience will really help him come in with a game plan," Potts said, while adding: "It's a completely different environment, a new landscape for him. And I know it will take him just a little while to learn how things work in Minnesota and how they're different from New Jersey."
Once they're up and running in Minneapolis and St. Paul, O'Hara and Henry will have to work closely with each other as the leaders of neighboring jurisdictions.
"The chiefs of police in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, for as long as I can remember, have always had a really good relationship," Potts said. "I would expect that to continue."
Brian O'Hara approved as new Minneapolis police chief
Axel Henry selected to be next St. Paul police chief

Q: Creating a script or find an add on for google sheets I am new to coding, google scripts and add ons.  I want to create or find a script that will lock my google sheets on a specific day each week (or specific date).  I have a very basic understanding of writing code in java- just enough to know that I don't know what I need to accomplish this? Any help would be appreciated.

A: If you're looking for a script as an answer, you could setup a trigger to fire on those days (Look for time-driven triggers). Then, write a function that is based off of the protect() class. There you can choose the permissions of who can edit the file among other things, effectively locking your sheet.

The self styled Council for the Protection of Rural England has recently attacked local authorities for their slowness in implementing 30mph village speed limit schemes as pioneered in Suffolk in 1996.
The ABD supports appropriate speed limits in villages, set according to the sensible guidelines issued by the old Department of Transport, but unreservedly condemns Suffolk type schemes supported by the CPRE, since implemented in other areas such as West Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Worcestershire.
"These schemes are road safety nonsense," says the ABD's Nigel Humphries. "They introduce 30mph limits all over the place that are mostly unnecessary  either they are far lower than the safe speed to travel, or they are put in places where it isn't even possible to do 30mph. Either way, they do nothing for road safety."
Because the majority of the public do not support these limits, it is deemed necessary to back them up garish reflective signs, acres of ugly red tarmac and even what is laughably referred to as "traffic calming" in a doomed effort to browbeat people into compliance.
"This desecration of our rural road network is a disgrace," continues Humphries. "This is exactly the sort of urbanisation of the countryside that the CPRE should be resisting rather than demanding more of."
"Local authorities have been found to be lack-lustre in their response to the Government and too many continue only to focus on accident blackspots and ignore the wider problems caused by speed."
So, rather than concentrate on road safety, Mr Hamblin wants to redirect local authority resources away from accident blackspots and on to blanket restrictions to support his own pet political ideals, which all but the most blinkered and hypocritical rural motorists reject.
"We have seen the result of this politicisation of road safety in Suffolk, the first county to introduce this ridiculous policy," says ABD Chairman Brian Gregory. "Until 450 new 30mph limits were introduced, road casualties in Suffolk were falling steadily. Since then, they have risen, something that all the statistical chicanery of Suffolk County Council cannot disguise."
The CPRE then goes on to say that many local authorities are "relying on old fashioned approaches to road safety" and to criticise the police for "giving insufficient priority to the enforcement of lower speed limits."
Perhaps that's because these "old fashioned" methods actually save lives, but that is clearly not a priority in the CPRE.
Perhaps, too, the police have got better things to do than pointlessly antagonise the local population without any road safety benefit. The CPRE should realise that wasting police time is a criminal offence!
The ABD says that these 30mph schemes should be stopped immediately, and limits in those already implemented should be returned immediately to DETR guidelines supported only by conventional speed limit signs.
