We understand how important the performance of your employees is to delivering your strategic aims. We can strengthen their effectiveness across a wide range of human performance areas with reviews of the effectiveness of your programs and advice on current international good practice.
In order to work safely and deliver desired business outcomes it is imperative that workers (employees and contractors) are physically and mentally fit to work.
Many work tasks involve complex physical and mental processes requiring perception, judgement and dexterity. A range of medical conditions can impair an individual's performance of these work tasks and thus increase the risk of performing the task unsafely.
While the fitness of all workers is important there are some roles that involve activities that can place workers at immediate and significant risk of harm unless the person has full, unimpaired control of their physical and mental capabilities. Workers in these roles would be expected to demonstrate fitness through more robust processes than for the general population.
Impairment can be caused by many factors and the control of such impairment is similarly expansive.
Work health and safety legislation places duties of care on businesses and workers. These duties have a bearing on fitness for work management, setting requirements at a high level without prescribing specific medical or fatigue risk controls.
The Work Health and Safety Act 2011 sets a number of obligations, including; a primary duty of care obligation placed on a person conducting a business or undertaking, and a duty to take reasonable care, comply with instructions and cooperate, which is placed on workers.
Some legislation is more prescriptive in nature. Regulations for mine safety and rail safety do include prescribed requirements for both health and fitness management, and fatigue control but are not generally applicable in other industries.
Regulations for road transport driver licensing will apply to most Network businesses' workers who will typically be licensed to drive road vehicles. Other than eye sight tests, medical examinations are only mandatory for drivers holding a multi-combination license (for B-doubles and road trains) but they may be requested by Roads and Maritime Services for other drivers.
Fitness for work matters affect workers on a very personal level which should be understood when developing suitable management processes. Worker fitness places responsibility on individuals as well as businesses, for example, the requirement on workers to arrive for work free from the effects of alcohol. As a result of the personal impacts, worker fitness is one of the most industrially sensitive areas of safety management. Added to this is the complexity inherent in most fitness aspects where there are rarely precise limits above or below which risk is definitely acceptable.
Companies, and sometimes industries, adopt an approach to the management of safety to suit their business. This can range from adopting rules-based prescription and compliance, to advanced risk-based systems. The diagram below indicates this continuum and the factors influencing decisions on the most effective approach. Along that continuum the levels of flexibility increase but so does the complexity and the requirement for sophisticated management practices.
Adoption of a system that is too complex to be supported by the organisational maturity or structure is unlikely to be followed in practice and leaves the business exposed. The business may believe that safety risks are adequately controlled when in fact those controls are not being delivered. Adoption of too simplistic a system may not enable the business to deal with its risk profile due to an inability to construct rules sufficiently clearly to cater for higher, unforeseen or rapidly changing risks.
It is more common for companies working in high risk industries, such as petrochemicals, transport or mining, to adopt complex risk based safety management systems and then drive their business culture and maturity to a level that enables those systems to work effectively.
In industrially sensitive, complex risk environments there is often the need for a hybrid approach where some level of prescription sets minimum standards below which the business should not drop but allows for greater complexity where organisational capacity allows.


The Earth is seventy percent water and thirty percent land. As massive areas of the Earth is covered in water, any kinds of goods that travel from one country to the other has to happen over the sea. The sea is, hence, a major mode of transportation. Therefore, the oceans that surround the countries witness a lot of navigational activities. Some seas which surround commercial hubs are intensely busy throughout the year with a lot of freight movement happening.
With freight movements increasing, business going global with each passing year and seas getting increasingly busier, it is but natural that the number of accidents on seas would increase. In commercial areas, a lot of overseas trade take place, as goods are imported and exported globally. This makes the sea the only means of transit. However, accidents are likely to happen due to collision between ships or between a ship and any hard object, stranding of a ship, fire or explosion and even sinking. It is the fishing vessels that encounter maximum number of accidents, followed by the cargo ships. Hence marine cargo insurance is a necessity.
To maintain marine safety, it is very important that there is some sort of financial support for the cargo that may be lost or damaged while on transit on the sea. This financial support system would be marine cargo insurance. This is a clause under the Marine Insurance Act of 1906, which insures loss or damage of ships, cargo, terminals, and also the cargo that maybe transferred as an acquired property. To maintain marine safety, marine insurance has been one of the most well developed insurances and originated with the Greek and Roman maritime loan.
While it is important to insure the cargo that is being carried, it is equally important to insure the carrier or liner that is carrying the cargo. If the carrier gets damaged and the cargo is lost in the sea, it would be next to impossible to retrieve it.
Damage to the carrier is most likely to happen when there is a collision with another ship or there is a collision with an object in the harbor. This is termed as "running down". Apart from this, the carrier may be wrecked in the sea or can also sink. Another threat to the safety of the carrier is pirate attacks. Thus, it is of grave importance to ensure the safety of the goods carriers and also insure the risk posed to them.


By now most of you will have already seen the learning thermostat, Nest, designed by Tony Fadell, who led the team that created the first 18 generations of the iPod and the first three generations of the iPhone. The news has been heating up the Web for the last couple of days.
For those of you who have not yet heard about it, Nest is a beautifully designed thermostat that is armed with an array of sensors and also Wi-Fi enabled. It is "programmable" in the sense that you teach it, but it's not like one of the usual thermostats that is impossible to understand or operate. While thermostats sound boring, actually they account for an awful lot of energy wastage.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab approximately half the heating and cooling (HVAC) accounting for approximately half of the bill. The programmable thermostat, developed in the 1970s, promised to help people conserve energy, but 89 percent of owners rarely or never set a program (source: ACEEE, 2010). The devices are simply too complicated. In fact, Energy Star revoked its certification of all thermostats in 2009, according to Nest's information sheet.
"It was unacceptable to me that the device that controls 10 percent of all energy consumed in the U.S. hadn't kept up with advancements in technology and design," says Tony Fadell.
So far, so normal. It's a great product in an area that has really failed at any kind of innovation and a product that hopefully does what it says. Except, of course, that it's not just a product. It's a product-service system.
There are several layers of services in Nest. The first obvious one is that it's an information and control system that's managing your heating (or cooling) service. Warmth and coolness aren't products, they're environmental services that we are able to control and interact with. Most of the time we're doing that with pretty blunt instruments, but Nest aims to change that.
Then there is the learning aspect of Nest. It's smart enough, apparently, to know when the house is empty and turn itself down as well as learn the patterns of your behaviors. But it's also able to influence your behavior with its leaf icon that shows you that you could save or be more environmentally friendly by turning it down a notch.
Nest is also Wi-Fi enabled, which means you can access, monitor and set it from a variety of devices via a Web interface. So not only do the designers have to design the product, but also consider how that Web interface is going to look and feel. Most of the other smart home interfaces I have ever seen look like an engineer's readout on Windows 3.0. If the Nest concept is going to be successful in this regard, they need to be sure that this aspect of their service works.
Finally, you can buy a Nest from Best Buy, but you can also buy it directly from Nest themselves. So they're offering a retail service, which also includes help working out the installation process along with useful videos and online support. The device also helps you install it and set it up. You can even order a Nest and have them come and install it for you. Again, a whole back-end of service management that must be taken into account as part of the design process.
If their website (compare that to other home heating manufacturers' websites) and offering is anything to go by, Nest have this pretty well covered. But it just goes to show that even a single, seemingly small product, needs a well thought through service ecosystem for it to really work. Product designers don't just design products anymore and they need to think of the product-service system they are entering into or creating, not just let others deal with it as an afterthought.

Next Enhance La Jolla Day will focus on Village streetscape plan
A conceptual image shows what could be done at Wall Street and Girard Avenue as part of the Enhance La Jolla streetscape plan.
(Enhance La Jolla)
The third annual event will be held later this year, when it can serve to present the completed plan to the public.
By Ashley Mackin-Solomon
Jan. 24, 2023 9 AM PT
The third iteration of Enhance La Jolla Day will take a different approach for 2023. The event will be later in the year and will focus on providing information about Enhance La Jolla's Village streetscape plan.
Enhance La Jolla is a nonprofit that manages The Village Maintenance Assessment District with authority to enhance services provided by the city of San Diego, including landscape maintenance, street and sidewalk cleaning, litter and graffiti abatement and additional trash collection. It also can privately fund and complete capital improvement projects in public spaces, such as trash can upgrades, bench installation, sign augmentation, park improvements, public art, and tree canopies on main thoroughfares.
The group has presented two Enhance La Jolla Days. During the inaugural in 2021, La Jolla's community organizations came out to spruce up The Village, provide information about their groups and put river rock in tree wells as part of an ongoing project.
With the tree well project nearly completed, the 2022 Enhance La Jolla Day focused on family-friendly art events, distribution of milkweed plants (on which monarch butterflies live and reproduce) and demonstration of services. Members of the La Jolla Community Recreation Group's Visioning Committee, Friends of Coast Walk Trail, Rotary Club of La Jolla, La Jolla Parks & Beaches, La Jolla Shores Association, La Jolla Traffic & Transportation Board and more set up tables with information on their groups.
But with a $15 million streetscape plan being drawn up under the auspices of the La Jolla Community Foundation — the fundraising arm of Enhance La Jolla — the board is looking to wait until the final plan can be part of the third Enhance La Jolla Day.
At a time when local news is more important then ever, support from our readers is essential. If you are able to, please become a supporter of the La Jolla Light today by clicking here.
Streetscape means the appearance or view of a street, and the Enhance La Jolla plan is a four-phase project to renovate Girard Avenue between Silverado and Prospect streets and the area known as "The Dip" at Prospect. Planned improvements in the public right of way include curb extensions, paving, landscaping, lighting, conversion of northbound Prospect to a public pedestrian way between Girard and Herschel avenues and converting the southbound side of Prospect in that area to two-way traffic. More than $1.5 million is already available for the project.
La Jolla Community Foundation Chairwoman Phyllis Pfeiffer, who also is president and general manager of the La Jolla Light, said the streetscape plan is "near completion" and that civil engineering work has been done, though lighting options for Girard Avenue need to be addressed.
Experts "measured the lighting at night and found that the lighting on Girard currently doesn't meet city standards," Pfeiffer said. "As we were looking at the lighting plan, we would like to put lights up that really light up Girard, but the city will only pay for the electricity of what is there now. So if we add light fixtures, we have to pay for it. So we have to be very careful with the lighting."
Pfeiffer said the group is working with the city to make sure that on-street features such as bulb-outs are the right size so buses and emergency vehicles can get through and everything is up to code.
"That's going really well; we're almost done," she said. "The plans are getting down to the final details and at some point we will go to the public with examples of street furniture and say 'Do you like A or B?' and get something with some community involvement."
Thus, the idea was broached to integrate the final streetscape plan into Enhance La Jolla Day.
Enhance La Jolla hoping for contract change to reduce trip-and-fall liability
Change may be coming to reduce Enhance La Jolla's liability in trip-and-fall lawsuits like those that have plagued the board recently.
In looking at forming a committee to run this year's event — which usually is held in April — Enhance La Jolla board member and former City Councilwoman Barbara Bry noted there was a decrease in activity from the first year to the second.
"I think we have to step back and say 'What is the purpose of Enhance La Jolla Day?'" she said at the board's Jan. 19 meeting. "What is the goal of the day?"
With the streetscape plan nearing completion, some suggested holding off on Enhance La Jolla Day and using it as an opportunity to present the plan, outline where street furniture and trees would go and offer a walk-through to help explain what is being proposed.
Bird Rock resident Sharon Wampler said a walk-through would "get people excited … to see the future of La Jolla and what Enhance La Jolla can do."
Enhance La Jolla Chairman Ed Witt said Enhance La Jolla Day can be held any time of the year and that the concept to focus it on the streetscape plan is "a great idea." A committee was assembled to explore what could be done and when and report back. ◆

I love there's slight increase in ratings! And for me, the fandom things are much better being put in the background instead of taking center stage in first episodes. Maybe because south korea in general still looks down on fangirl culture, at least that's what I think.
Have to admit defeat: I reached the tipping point with JS's death so I won't be watching anymore of this show until the ending airs. JS's death made me feel that the writer was no longer trustworthy, and I can't envision a really happy ending at this point with JS gone and SM hurting or potentially about to die. I've been burned by too many dramas that fell apart in the last quarter of the episodes. If this drama ends badly (and it could), I don't want to be along for the ride. I'll read re-caps but I'm not watching unless there is some happy at the end.
Official stills from yesterday My Best Summer This is the author August ChangAn So the actor who play as teachers, the ones who squad side by side with cfy, they are homeclass teacher Zhang Ping and math teacher Zhang Feng in the drama series.
Lee Dong Wook's childhood pictures and with his younger sister. They are so lovely.
Yes, we all thought too.. We do recognize their chemistry ( I enjoy watching them, although I just like EunGi and DeokMi better :D) But yeah, their chemistry work on screen. agreed ,they seemed like have fun togetehr, which is good. BUt KJW hust have this vibe of (since you don;t want to use the term brother) a protective and caring guy friend. Like someone who would look out for her, and if your PMYs boyfriend (hello PSJ) you won't need to worry about him.
The reality is ugly. I've been following the headlines on the whole Burning Sun mess--the careers and the lives it has destroyed is indescribable. And it's horrible how much it hurts the fans of entertainment. This can only be the tip of the ice berg--we can't even imagine how deep the evil goes. It has made me question even watching any Korean dramas, and I've been going back to watching JDorama even though the subs are harder to find. Yeah, there are some parallels that are all too real, and it began in the first episode with the gamblers. I really like to see that there is some hope of goodness in the shows that I watch, and I just could not find any in Big Issue.
I also don't think the threat is Sian either. I also scrolled through all of the posts for today's episode just to see if anyone brought this theory up too. Sian is the biggest thing in DM's life and she was LITERALLY standing right NEXT TO HIM in the elevator. And she had zero reaction! Yeah, she smiled but it was quite forced (just to be polite) and I think Sian knew that too. That's sort of how you could tell that Ryan had occupied her mind and she was so nervous after leaving that she sort of didn't know where to go, hence sitting at a bus stop. She loves to talk about Sian with Seon-Joo but she didn't, and she seemed to have forced herself to attend Joo-hyuk's concert... I mean, the feeling between Ryan and DM is definitely mutual... I just hope they keep it up. I can definitely tell that girl that bugged Ryan for a quarter of episode 6 might be a problem and so will Sindy pose a problem. Partially, I think. He regrets the things he's said also, things like: "You can't come in here as you like... Did you really think you were my girlfriend?" I feel like Ryan really regretted saying that (because he kinda wanted to be his girlfriend... too...) and so hence him chasing after her from the gallery to the performance to her house. He also felt guilty about her gift, and if you think about it, it might actually bring you to realize that maybe Lee Sol (if she is really his mother) isn't as important as protecting Deok-mi. Just my two cents. I really liked the entire execution of the episode. From the drunkenness to having her sing a song to get his pass code to the house, etc. And of course, not ironically, the song that DM sings is from White Ocean... I wonder what Ryan (should I say...Latte?) will do now that he knows she's the moderator of the fan site... Oof, I can't wait for Wednesday to find out. It was interesting to finally see the scene that PMY mentioned during the press conference now, and I look forward to these two's steaming chemistry. I hope I'm not the only one on this big ship who thinks they have GREAT chemistry?

How will a water meter help me in saving water?
Knowing how much water you consume is the first step towards water savings. Real time data about your water consumption on your smartphone helps you find water wastage in your home. Armed with this actionable data, you can now adopt simple steps to not only save water but also money.
My neighbour consumes most water in my community.
This is a feeling that most of us have before we start looking at our own consumption. The truth is that once we look at our own consumption we see that we are also wasting water which can otherwise be saved.
How much water and money can I save if I install water meters?
Research and our customer data shows that households who have adopted water metering, their overall consumption reduces by 35% in a couple of months and is sustained month after month. They are also able to reduce their energy bill as lesser water needs to be pumped to overhead tanks. Moreover, most apartments also get lesser sewerage bills.
I want to adopt water metering. What should I do?
Brilliant decision. You should check with your RWA and ask what are they doing in order to adopt water metering in your housing society. You can contact us and share the details of your RWA and will make sure that they see value in adopting water metering.
People have told me that metering is not feasible due to multiple inlets. Is it true?
Traditional water meter installation require tremendous amount of re-plumbing and narrow ducts in the buildings pose a challenge while installing. However, WaterOn meters do not require any complicated plumbing. Our installers come, cut a pipe and install the meters and you can start metering your water.
People say it's very expensive to install water meters as it involves huge piping and labour costs.
WaterOn does not require laying new pipes to connect water meters hence it is a significant saving n cost of hardware and labour. WaterOn metering solution costs approximately half of the traditional metering system.
There are multiple water inlets coming into my flat. How will WaterOn work?
One of the unique features of WaterOn solution is that it deploys individual water meters at each inlet point. The SmarterHomes platform receives data from these meters and then unify in one household account. So, as an apartment resident you will see total consumption of all inlets and also individual data of each inlet. Installing in individual inlets also help in controlling water supply to just the inlet where there is leak instead of blocking supply to whole flat. The solutions minimises re-plumbing effort and cost completely.
Who will take the readings? Will I need to hire someone to take readings?
Absolutely no-one. The system is 100% automated and consumption is reported to the system in real time and it's automatically computed at the end of your billing cycle like your phone bills. You will receive a copy of your bill in your email.
WaterOn is an intelligent metering system. It even reports and escalates any potential errors in advance to the support desk and rectifies itself proactively. Our dedicated support staff is always there to help, in case something goes wrong. You can leave a message on our customer care helpline and on our Facebook and Twitter pages. We might be so embarrassed that we will fix the problems and send you cookies too.
You say that the meters are self charging? What do you mean?
Since it's an electronic and wireless device it needs power to operate. The system doesn't take any power source from the customer and is completely self sustained. The hybrid system uses a solar panel and charger to power the Nuclious and the meters. The intelligent algorithms manage the battery charge cycle and prolong the life of battery.
Can I shut off the water supply in the event of a leakage?
Absolutely. You can just log in to your dashboard and see if there's an alert. You can easily close the water supply by the press of a button on the app.
I am going away for a vacation. Can I shut off supply? How will I get water when I come back?
You can login to your user dashboard and go to Control tab. You can select a time and date to both shut off and resume water supply. The system will ensure that water is shut off in your absence saving you from any flooding or leakages and will come back on when you arrive.
Currently the app is available for Android and iOS platforms. The most recent version of the app can be downloaded from Google Play Store and iOS App Store. For other platforms, you can request access to https://smartrhomes.com/mportal/ by raising a ticket to the SmarterHomes support.
How to get in touch with us if you have an issue?
A member of SmarterHomes support team will respond as soon as possible.
We are launching chat support soon.

For over years, fundamental component and dataset in climate projection had been covered by general circulation models (GCMs) output mainly from the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project (CMIP). Marine surface winds are an important output of GCMs and they provide input to marine forecasts and warning systems. Their accuracy have direct implications for marine safety, air-sea fluxes, and wave and ocean modellings. Western North Pacific (WNP) is known as a highly vulnerable region to oceanic and atmospheric hazards, such as storm surges, waves and typhoons. Therefore, this study aims to examine the quality of marine surface winds from CMIP5 and CMIP6 GCMs in the WNP and its sub-regions with respect to a reference data, and presents bias correction of marine surface winds for contributing to wave and ocean modelling communities.

Pete Christie – Black, White, and 50 Shades of Grey – Review by FATEA
Review of Pete Christie's performance on the Fire Stage at the Purbeck Folk Festival 2012 by Neil King Editor of FATEA Magazine.
Next up is on the Fire Stage is Pete Christie. Pete is a singer songwriter that I've long admired. He's got the common touch in terms of his song writing. His songs portray an attitude of dogged determination and have plenty of character.
Some of his material definitely falls into the protest singer category, but others also have a far more personal touch, symbolising an individual's inner struggle and their relationships with people and society around them offering a counterpoint to songs coming more about society.
Pete always gives off the vibe of a musician totally absorbed in what they are doing on stage, coming out of it to talk to the audience between songs. He plays his songs very much live, meaning that even the songs of his you think you're familiar with may well throw you on the day. It's also a set that sits on the cusp between night and day and that's a good metaphor for the performance, the clarity of daylight dwindles and the uncertainty of the night begins to take hold. Issues aren't black and white, events tend to be impacted by what's in the shadows and Pete's songs reflect that well.
This is a performance to savour, one to take onboard and definitely one to experience, Purbeck Folk festival has chosen it's acts well.
FATEA offer a number of Services News & Features Reviews Releases Live Gig & Festival guide and acoustic spectrum radio show.
Pete Christie performing at Purbeck Folk Festival 2012
The Purbeck Folk Festival takes place literally yards away from my garden, at Wilkswood Farm in Langton Matravers, near Swanage, in Dorset. According to Google, I am one of a select number of 'Isle of Purbeck Folk musicians' and happily, this year, not only am I performing twice at the festival, but I am very proud to have been given the privilege of opening the acoustic stage on Friday 24th August.
The Purbeck Folk Festival was started in 2009 and is run by Paul Burke and Catherine Burke, who run Bournemouth Folk Club and Phil Watkins and Mick Callaghan from Centre Stage, a popular music venue in Bournemouth.
Purbeck Folk Festival is a family friendly event for 1,500, held in three big barns, on a working farm, set in the Purbeck Hills, with fabulous views across Swanage Bay.
Purbeck Folk Festival covers the broader definition of folk and world music, focussing on quality music. The festival line-up always includes some of the best young folk artists, national bands, some internationally known artists and the best of Dorset's local music scene. There are more than 30 top folk, roots and world music acts, including acclaimed singer-songwriter KT Tunstall to headline the festival.
I am performing on the Main Stage – Long Barn Stage at 7pm on Friday 24 August and by all accounts this is the main stage.
TIME CHANGE :Then performing again on Saturday 25 August on the Fire Stage at 7.40pm

Once you've started to grow your email marketing program, it's time to add conversion optimization, and find the soft spots that are causing subscribers to lose interest or unsubscribe.
You aren't segmenting your list, so your content isn't as relevant to everyone as it could be. By learning more about your subscribers' interests and needs, you can create a better experience with your messages, the links you send them to from your emails, even the timing of your campaigns. The slightest improvement in any of these could translate to more leads and higher revenue from existing subscribers.
Mobile is the hot button today, not just because over 50% of emails are being opened on mobile devices, but because those people are clicking through to web pages that still aren't mobile-friendly. Think about the last time that happened to you, it stunk right? And then, when that same company emailed you again, you didn't bother opening it on your phone because you knew it would take you to a page you could only read on your desktop. Identifying those pitfalls in the overall experience is something conversion optimization can fix.
Too often, companies use the same email template for all types of emails (newsletters, transactions, welcome emails, etc.). This introduces clutter to what could (or should) be a highly-focused message. In addition, individual elements like links, copy, button text, color, and images all contribute to the performance of your campaigns. Cleaning up your design and testing different ways to present the information inside your emails is part of conversion optimization.
People still read (you got this far, didn't you?), but the way we communicate in today's attention economy can make or break an email campaign. Testing different types of copy against the type of subscriber is part of conversion optimization.
Every email campaign should have a goal, and you should always be tracking whether or not your campaigns met that goal. Too often we see companies looking only at basic stats like open and click rates, but aren't taking into account conversion rates. This sounds obvious, but part of the conversion optimization process in your email marketing program is looking at campaign performance to identify possible tests.
We would love to make your email marketing program perform better and become a more profitable component of your business. If any of the following ideas sound like they will help your email marketing program, hit the Get in touch tab below to set up a call with a member of our team.
What's the best way to deliver the goods after your landing page collects an email address? Here are four options with pros and cons for each, and tests you can run to see which is best for you.

This Week's Dinner Specials for Local Restaurant Week 2013!
This weeks as part of Western New York's Local Restaurant Week we are offering a special menu. Choose one appetizer and one entree for $20.13!
Uncle Dingaling has the Cheesiest show on earth. This circus travels from town to town, in the old tradition. It is unfortunate that the acts do not match the tradition. In fact, as the group made its annual trek to Aragain, a premier stop on their circuit, they were met with resistance from all quarters. The performers were only going through the motions. The townspeople were less than hospitable. Most egregious, best circus around, Dewey, Cheetum and Howe, were attempting a hostile takeover.
Opening night, with a very sparse crowd, was in full swing. Acts filled all three rings. The sideshows were waiting their turn. Buck Shott, the Human Cannonball was launched, landed in his net, but did not jump up to take his bow. To everyone?s horror, Buck Shott would fire no more. . . .
Eveningside: Ringmaster: Uncle Dingaling: Owner of the Circus. Would he want to harm an act that draws crowds?
Freedom Run: Tax collector Dudley (Doody) Levee: This Aragain Native wants to make certain the town gets everything coming to it. Why does he hate Buck Shott? After all, he's only in town once a year.
Leonard Oakes: Mayor Clinta Westwood: Every year when the circus comes, her campaign coffers grow. What did Buck know about her?
Niagara Landing: Trapeze artist Callie S?thenics: Talk about a frustrated gymnast. She is constantly coming up with new ideas and new tricks. Too bad the human body can?t move the way she wants. She drives the other trapeze artists crazy.
Chateau Niagara: Ticket seller Goldie Price: She sells lots of tickets. She's one of the best barkers around. You assume she?s as honest as the day is long, but is she?
Schulze: Horse rider Merry Mustang: Always wants more horses, fancier costumers for them.
Victorianbourg: Dog Trainer Kay Nein: She is a great PR person. She takes her dogs to perform everywhere you ask schools, fairs. You heard a rumor she got paid for those gigs on the side, but she wouldn?t double dip, would she?
Spring Lake: Landowner Essie Tate: The circus is held on her land, for a fee of course. What does she know about Buck.
Honeymoon Trail: Booking Agent Redd Scent: Handles all the arrangements for moving the show around. Finds new locations sometimes, negotiates the contracts, knows who to finesse. All for a fee, of course.
Marjim Manor: Band Member Yul PHonium: At the last stop, the band riser collapsed injuring a couple of band members. Luckily, Yul was at the performance and was able to audition and fill in right away. For a classical performer, she knows lots of circus style music.
Vizcarra: Elephant trainer Packy Derm; Thinks the elephants are the cornerstone of the circus the main act people come to see. Wants money for more costumes, better feed. their favorite thing to do is leave to join Dewey Cheatem and Howe where they'll be appreciated.
Long Cliff: Building Inspector: Arky Tecture: This building inspector pays attention to minute details. What did he notice about Buck?
Blackbird: Janitor Connie Searge : Been with you about a year. Does her job well. Everything is always sparkling and shiny. But she does turn up in odd spots.
Lake Ontario Winery: Hermie Tage, the Tent installer.
Tickets are valid for all three days of the event and include a tasting of 3 wines at each participating winery, a commemorative wine glass from your starting winery, and information to solve the crime. Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door. CLICK HERE to purchase tickets.

Death Penalty Essay
Throughout history, societies have punished criminals by executing them, but today many countries have abolished the death penalty. In the United States however, the federal government and many of the states continue to sentence convicted criminals to death. This leads us to the question: Should the government have the power to sentence convicted criminals to death? Before we approach this question lets take a look at the history of the death penalty and other factors that could affect the answer to this question.Although the first case of capital punishment is not documented, we know that it was brought to North America by European colonist in the 18th century. In Europe, murderers, thieves, spies, alleged witches, and over 100 other so-called "crimes" were punished by death. Although hanging was the most common form of execution, other methods such as stoning, beheading, burning at the stake or being broken on a wheel were used. Hangings usually took place at high noon on a main street or in a town square to be viewed by the public. They were excitedly watched as if it were a new episode of the sopranos. In fact public executions often turned into outdoor festivals in which the city advertised the execution through posters, handbills, and notices in newspapers. In the 1700's after being convicted and sentenced to death, unlike today, you would be executed usually within less than a week.Executions moved through from hanging and other methods to electrocution. When in 1889, New York passed the electrical Execution Act, which declared death by the electric chair as the state's new method of execution. As with many other ways of executing people, this way is both cruel and unusual punishment. Although there are many instances were cruel and unusual punishment were used, I am going to give you one example and let you judge for yourself. In August of 1890 the first man to be sentenced to the electric chair was William Kemmler. This execution did not go smoothly, as the current was not set strong enough, and had to be stopped and started several times. After approximately 10 minutes of this torture he died. As more humane ways of executing criminals came about such as the gas chamber, firing squad and lethal injection came about, there was a short period of time, from 1972 to 1977 where there were no executions. Capital punishment was outlawed as result of the Furman vs. Georgia case. This victory was short-lived as the court's decision in Gregg vs. Georgia upheld the death penalty, which has been legal ever since. It is up to each state to determine whether to impose the death penalty and in what ways to execute criminals.Slide #3 In the 38 states and federal government that currently have death penalty's statutes, five different methods of execution are prescribed: Slide #4 Lethal Injection, Electrocution, Lethal gas, Firing Squad, and Hanging.Now that we know more about the death penalty, should the government have the power to sentence convicted...

A hashtag is a double cross symbol used on social media channels like Twitter, which enables users to find a specific subject or type of content. Using hashtags in tweets is a means of aggregating information on a topic.
Employing a hashtag with your keywords makes it easier for social media users to find that particular topic. Hashtags can be created from a single word or a phrase, and those posting items can use existing hashtags. A hashtag must not contain spaces or special characters.
All posts on a specific topic that are marked with the appropriate hashtag are collated. So when you click on a hashtag, all contributions to that topic will then appear.
Hashtags can be used to find information and track specific themes. Moreover, trends can be identified simply by observing frequently used hashtags.
Twitter introduced the hashtag as early as 2007 to allow Twitter users to label their tweets. Hashtags are usually placed at the end of a tweet, but they can also be inserted anywhere in the tweet. Hashtags on Twitter are often used on other social media channels and blogs too.
On Twitter, hashtags and topics currently tweeted the most are listed under"Trends. Trends can be filtered by region, and Top Tweets (those with the most interactions) can also be selected. Further options such as pictures and videos are also available. Current trends and hashtags on Twitter are often researched by the media and then used as content on media platforms.
Frequently, hashtags are also used for marketing to help social media users find businesses or services via certain terms or phrases. For example, many events use a hashtag to display details of everything related to the event.
Even many TV shows have their own hashtags, often featuring live tweets during the broadcast. For example, Twitter users often discuss the current episode of"Criminal Minds during the broadcast on Wednesday evenings.
In addition, it's also possible to use Twitter hashtags on other social networks, including Instagram, Facebook and Google+. Here again, hashtags are used to aggregate content on an issue, making it easier for people to find.
Instagram users very often add hashtags to pictures and videos in order to attract the attention of new followers.
Hashtags are now widespread on social networks, and the term is recognized in the dictionary.
Individuals and businesses highlight their posts with hashtags to contribute content to specific topics, which can then be easily found. When searching on social media, the labelling of words and phrases with a hashtag facilitates topical searches.
Twitter accounts display the most popular Twitter hashtags under"Trends."This provides a means of analyzing topics and identifying emerging trends.
Some hashtags spread virally in blogs and across the social web. The traditional media often research hashtags in search of material for publication.


360 photographs are produced by capturing multiple angles of varying exposure to produce a single seamless image. When combined with rich web programming the results are perhaps the very best way to showcase a space.
As a highly technical genre, quality is of paramount importance because the smallest of mistakes become painfully obvious.
From immaculate hotels to large scale construction sites, the most prestigious brands require the very finest photography. Thats why Duncan approaches every 360 image with the same meticulous care and attention to detail as any traditional, high end, marketing shoot. Using the same post production techniques means that compromising on quality is just not an option.

There are a total of six areas of the town centre which will see changes including Westminster Street, The Borough, upper Middle Street (including Wine Street), Middle Street (East), Middle Street (West) and The Triangle.
Work is scheduled to start in September 2021 and will be completed in a phased approach over a few years to ensure the town centre can keep running while the construction work is delivered, beginning with Westminster Street.
You can view and download our Public Realm Design Guide through this website.

This slideshow shows artist's impressions of how the public realm areas in Yeovil town centre should look following completion of the work.
Our video is a fly through of Yeovil town centre and shows how all of the public realm work will connect and make the area a complete town centre.
The Yeovil Refresh programme aims to create a town centre that will be a vibrant place to live, work, shop, learn and visit, with a number of key projects being delivered as part of the work.
As part of that work, we have been looking at how the public spaces (public realm) can be improved to enhance the experience in the town centre for everyone.
Designs have focussed on reducing clutter in the town centre and making the areas more appealing for people to visit. For example, The Triangle will see a complete transformation and could become a central focal area for visitors to congregate and enjoy activities.
This key gateway into the town centre is heavily used. We want to ensure that when people first step into the town, they see something they like, they find it appealing and want to come back to Yeovil because of the pleasant experience.
The High Street is a symbolic and historic area of the town centre of Yeovil and we want to open this space up more and reduce traffic flow so that pedestrians feel safe in this area. Works to this area also include the clock tower.
This area is highly used area and we see a lot of people congregate here. We want to open this space up more to create a friendlier environment and we can only really do that by relocating the bus stops to a different area of the town centre so people can feel a lot safer.
Middle Street
Middle Street is a real pedestrian heavy route through the town centre and we see hundreds, if not thousands of people use this area of the town centre on a daily basis. Widening the pavements will assist with people feeling much safer in this area.
This area of town has the potential to make the greatest impact on the appearance of the town centre and help rejuvenate the lower end of town.
We are delivering on what people asked for in this area and can't wait for it to be finished and fully functioning as a new focal point in the town centre.
Lower Middle Street
Lower Middle Street has plenty of opportunities for it and with the work that The Martin Group will be doing on Glovers Walk, this could be a real great asset and fantastic area for Yeovil.

A Hyperion a Szaturnusz 286 km-es, vöröses, sűrűn kráterezett, csuszamlásokkal tarkított holdja. Anyabolygójától 1 481 100 km-re kering, tömege 1,77 kg. William Bond és George Bond amerikai csillagászok, és tőlük függetlenül William Lassell angol csillagász fedezte fel 1848-ban. A Naprendszer legnagyobb szabálytalan alakú holdja. Alakja valószínűleg meteorbecsapódás következtében alakult ki, melynek során tömege egy részét elvesztette. Albedója 0,3, tehát erősen szennyezett. Nevét a görög mitológia egyik titánja után kapta.

A közelebbi Titán holddal dinamikus rezonanciában van: a Titán négy keringést tesz, mialatt a Hyperion hármat. A Titán nagyobb tömege folytán ráncigálja a Hyperiont, ami ennek következtében meglehetősen excentrikus pályán halad.

A másik érdekesség a hold meglehetősen szabálytalan "krumpli" alakja (360×280×225 km), a Naprendszerben ez a legnagyobb szabálytalan alakú hold.

Sűrűsége csak fele a vízének, amiből arra lehet következtetni, hogy belsejében üregek találhatók.

Alakjából és pályájából következően nincs állandó forgástengelye és forgási periódusa. A Naprendszer minden más égitestjétől eltérően a hold keringése kaotikus, melynek jellemzői havonta változhatnak. Elméleti számítások szerint a hold akár több ezer évig foroghat stabilan, amit szintén több ezer éves szabálytalan forgási időszak követ, és megjósolhatatlan, hogy éppen melyik állapotában van.

Meeting at 5.45 collecting all our tickets , can grab a coffee and some breakfast/fuel if wanted and leaving at 6.15 so it gives everyone a reasonably amount time to get there so no one gets left behind.
Hi guys just wondering if anyone wants me to take their place on the stand this weekend if your car can't make it, pm me if you can't, thanks!
Big thank you to everyone who attended. You were all very friendly, helpful and considerate. Was great to meet new faces (apologies if I seemed a little grumpy I'm afraid mornings and I don't mix hehe). Really appreciate everyone answering questions about the cars and continuing our reputation for being friendly and open as a club.
Weather was great, cars looked great and we shifted a fair few flyers and cards. Thanks again everyone.

Red Conwy Castle for St David's Day
Conwy Castle was lit up tonight in honour of St David's Day. After celebrating (by eating too many Welshcakes) I thought some people may like a little lesson in history. Writing for History Extra, a spokesperson for Cadw, the Welsh government's historic environment service, reveals that:
'On 1 March Wales pays homage to St David, the celebrated patron saint. He was born around the year 520 – some 1,500 years ago. As a young man David became a monk and is said to have founded a monastery close to the place where he was born. The surrounding area (in Pembrokeshire, west Wales) is now known simply as 'St Davids'. It's believed that St Davids Cathedral and St Davids Bishop's Palace are built on the site of the original monaster. While preaching to a crowd in the village of Llanddewi Brefi, David is thought to have performed his most famous miracle: some of the crowd were finding it difficult to hear the sermon, when a white dove landed on David's shoulder. As it did, the ground on which he stood is said to have risen up to form a mighty hill, making it possible for the gathering crowd to finally see and hear him. The dove became St David's emblem, often appearing in his portraits and on stained-glass windows depicting him. Today, a church stands on the crest of the special hill. St David's influence was not limited to Wales – churches and chapels dedicated to David can also be found in south-west England, Ireland and Brittany.
St David is believed to have died on 1 March 589. After St David's death, a shrine was built in his honour at his cathedral. Pope Callistus II thought of it so highly that he declared to Catholics that two pilgrimages to the shrine was worth one to the Vatican in Rome. The tenor Dewi Sant bell in the cathedral weighs 2,700lbs'.


The Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program Advisory Committee met in Washington, DC, July 20-22, 2010, to review proposed Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program projects and make recommendations for project selection to the Secretary of Agriculture. See the Federal Register Notice (PDF, 28 KB) for the meeting announcement. The following are the meeting summary and related documents.


Two bailiffs died when an inmate pulled a gun from one of the officers and shot both while being escorted in a Michigan courthouse. A civilian was also shot before the suspect was killed by other officers.
ST. JOSEPH — The inmate involved in a deadly shooting inside the Berrien County Courthouse was handcuffed in front of his body, but managed to disarm a deputy who was helping two bailiffs take him to court, Sheriff Paul Bailey says.
The new details into the incident, which left two bailiffs dead and the deputy and a civilian wounded, were revealed at a morning news conference today.
"Those bailiffs were heroes," Bailey said the situation could have been a lot worse without them being so brave and running toward gunfire.
The slain bailiffs were Joseph Zangaro, 61, a retired Michigan State Police lieutenant, and Ronald Kienzle, 63, a retired Benton Police sergeant. Both were career enforcement officers and were well known in this southwestern Michigan community, which sits on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan.
According to Bailey, 44-year-old Larry Gordon was handcuffed in the front throughout the entire incident. He was shot to death by other officers after a short hostage standoff on the third floor of the courthouse in downtown St. Joseph.
Gordon acted out when he was being transported by Deputy James Atterberry Jr. from the courtroom to a holding cell. Despite the deputy's gun being clipped in, Gordon was able to remove it, Bailey said. That's when he shot Zangaro, Kienzle, Atterberry and Kenya Ellis.
Zangaro and Kienzle were pronounced dead at the scene. Atterberry and Ellis were both shot in the arm and are being treated at Lakeland Regional Medical Center in St. Joseph.
During the news conference Tuesday morning, Bailey said inmates are moved every day and the bailiffs and deputies are very well trained. "This is an unfortunate situation where this inmate wanted to break out and was able to overpower a deputy and get his weapon."
Bailey also said though they are familiar with Gordon, he had never shown any type of combative behavior while in custody before Monday's "mayhem."
Gordon of Coloma was charged in April with armed first-degree criminal sexual conduct, first-degree criminal sexual conduct during a felony, felony kidnapping, felony assault with a dangerous weapon and misdemeanor aggravated domestic violence, according to Michigan State Police records.
The Berrien County Courthouse will reopen on Wednesday with additional deputies on staff and grief counselors available to employees.
At this time, no funeral arrangements have been made.

Q: Using KVC with Singleton pattern My questionwas about if it was possible to use KVC on a Singleton property on Swift.  I was testing KVC on a class was able to get it working but decided to see if it work on a Singleton class.
I'm running into an error stating that the "shared" property of my Singleton isn't KVC-compliant.
 class KVOObject: NSObject {
    @objc static let shared = KVOObject()
    private override init(){}

    @objc dynamic var fontSize = 18
 }

 override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    addObserver(self, forKeyPath: #keyPath(KVOObject.shared.fontSize), options: [.old, .new], context: nil)
 }

 override func observeValue(forKeyPath keyPath: String?, of object: Any?, change: [NSKeyValueChangeKey : Any]?, context: UnsafeMutableRawPointer?) {
   if keyPath == #keyPath(KVOObject.shared.fontSize) {
      // do something
   }
 }

I am currently getting the error below:
NetworkCollectionTest[9714:452848] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSUnknownKeyException', reason: '[ addObserver: forKeyPath:@"shared.fontSize" options:3 context:0x0] was sent to an object that is not KVC-compliant for the "shared" property.'

A: The key path is not correct. It's KVOObject.fontSize. And you need to add the observer to that singleton:
 KVOObject.shared.addObserver(self, forKeyPath: #keyPath(KVOObject.fontSize), options: [.old, .new], context: nil)

As an aside, (a) you should probably use a context to identify whether you're handling this or whether it might be used by the superclass; (b) you should call the super implementation if it's not yours; and (c) make sure to remove the observer on deinit:
class ViewController: UICollectionViewController {

    private var observerContext = 0

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        KVOObject.shared.addObserver(self, forKeyPath: #keyPath(KVOObject.fontSize), options: [.new, .old], context: &observerContext)
    }

    override func observeValue(forKeyPath keyPath: String?, of object: Any?, change: [NSKeyValueChangeKey : Any]?, context: UnsafeMutableRawPointer?) {
        if context == &observerContext {
            // do something
        } else {
            super.observeValue(forKeyPath: keyPath, of: object, change: change, context: context)
        }
    }

    deinit {
        KVOObject.shared.removeObserver(self, forKeyPath: #keyPath(KVOObject.fontSize))
    }

    ...
}

Or, if in Swift 4, it's now much easier as it's closure-based (avoiding need for context) and is automatically removed when the NSKeyValueObservation falls out of scope:
class ViewController: UICollectionViewController {

    private var token: NSKeyValueObservation?

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        token = KVOObject.shared.observe(\.fontSize, options: [.new, .old]) { [weak self] object, change in
            // do something
        }
    }

    ...
}

By the way, a few observations on the singleton:

*

*The shared property does not require @objc qualifier; only the property being observed needs that; and

*The init method really should be calling super; and

*I'd probably also declare it to be final to avoid confusion that can result in subclassing singletons.
Thus:
final class KVOObject: NSObject {
    static let shared = KVOObject()

    override private init() { super.init() }

    @objc dynamic var fontSize: Int = 18
}

Q: Storing Photo in LDAP I am aware that you can store photos in LDAP. But is it a good idea?
Currently, building a LDAP structure for company requirement.

A: Storing photos is a common practice for corporate LDAP directories. However, make sure that the client code loads this photo only if necessary.

A: The biggest issue we have seen is when someone wants to store 16MB Photos.
The DIB will grow very large with more data used for photos than for all the other data combined.
There is also the LDAP server overhead and wire transfer load of transporting large photos.
But it is common to store small (20k) photos (like passport photos) in LDAP without performance issues.
Several security setups we have worked with show the users photos on an overhead monitor as the  user swipes their security badge when they enter a secured area which is obtained from LDAP.
There are also variations on how LDAP server vendors store "large" attribute values. Some will store the large items as a BLOB in the DIB database and some create a "stream" file for each large blob of data.

A: JPEG data can be stored in the jpegPhoto attribute - allowed in the inetOrgPerson objectClass. An alternative is to store a URL in the entry which points to a server farm that hosts photos.

One of our most "off-the-beaten-track" discoveries of the past few years is the azienda of young Davide Vignato, hailing from the small village of Gambellara in the Veneto, east of Verona in the province of Vicenza. Gambellara has the distinction of being the lesser-known neighbor of nearby Soave. The grape, Garganega, is the same, known for producing one of Italy's greatest white wines. The terroir, while also volcanic, is different and very distinct. Compact horizontal bands of dark basalt are just below the surface, and contribute to impressions of high tension and stoniness. These are brighter and zingier wines than the more rounded and honeyed expression of Garganega in Soave.
The family history behind Davide's wines began when his grandfather, Rinaldo, purchased a small plot of land in the hills of Gambellara and planted vines. Davide's father, Gian Domenico, was the first in the family to make wine from those grapes, and as of 1997, Davide introduced organic and later biodynamic farming to the vineyards with the goal of producing deeply mineral wines that would legitimately reflect Gambellara's unique soils.
The Vignato estate is tiny, only a few hectares, all hand-worked by the Vignato family, including a large percentage of labor-intensive, traditionally-trained pergola vines. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermentation is spontaneous, and the wines are aged on fine lees. These wines represent not only authentic and compelling terroir expression, but also great values.
