One of the more fun classic economics papers is Radford's "The Economic Organization of a P.O.W. Camp".
We reached a transit camp in Italy about a fortnight after capture and received ¼ of a Red Cross food parcel each a week later. At once exchanges, already established, multiplied in volume. Starting with simple direct barter, such as a nonsmoker giving a smoker friend his cigarette issue in exchange for a chocolate ration, more complex exchanges soon became an accepted custom. Stories circulated of a padre who started off round the camp with a tin of cheese and five cigarettes and returned to his bed with a complete parcel in addition to his original cheese and cigarettes; the market was not yet perfect. Within a week or two, as the volume of trade grew, rough scales of exchange values came into existence. Sikhs, who had at first exchanged tinned beef for practically any other foodstuff, began to insist on jam and margarine. It was realized that a tin of jam was worth l/2 lb. of margarine plus something else; that a cigarette issue was worth several chocolate issues, and a tin of diced carrots was worth practically nothing.
Let's think about that padre for a moment.
Russ Roberts always insisted to those of us who took his class that we assume the padre had been a fair dealer; he hadn't lied and he hadn't strong-armed anyone. The exchanges were voluntary. If so, Roberts, asked us: did he make his trading partners better off? If so, how?
The quote already makes it clear. It's about information. If you know that someone doesn't smoke, but likes jam, you have an opportunity. You can go to them and say–I will give you a few spoonfulls of jam if you will give me all of your cigarettes. Since they don't care about the cigarettes (perhaps they are even disgusted by them, and would have just thrown them in the garbage) they are perfectly happy to make the trade.
You still have most of the jam, and now you have a lot more cigarettes. If you then go and find someone who feels the equal and opposite way about cigarettes and jam as the first trading partner, you can double up on your jam, too.
The key thing here is information. You have it, they don't. You are not making them worse off with your trade—on the contrary, they have something they want, and got rid of something they either didn't want, or didn't want as much as what you gave them. In the narrow world of the exchange, it was mutually beneficial—that was Roberts' main point.
The reason that middlemen are so hated, and commerce in general treated as morally suspect, is because from the outside or in retrospect we can see that the padre's trading partners weren't made as better off as they could have been—if they'd known all of the information that the padre did.
He was simply a shrewd bargainer. He was careful to tease out what people cared about before even introducing the idea of a trade, and then made his first offer on the terms most favorable for himself. He got what he wanted because people aren't very careful about such things by default.
He had most of the information he needed about everyone up front, from conversations he had had with them before the parcels even arrived. Based on that, for every trade he already had another trading partner in mind for what he was getting.
A combination of, or middle position between, the two is of course possible. Probable, even.
But I think people have different moral intuitions about 1 than 2. 1 feels like basic prudence; maybe it's a bit aggressive but both people are on relatively equal footing. The padre's trading partner could demand better terms, if they'd just thought about the possibility of using what they had for future trades. In short, the failure is largely of their imagination; the padre could have helped the guy out by pointing this out, but few people think that's his duty.
But the second scenario feels a bit like dishonesty. The padre knows with some certainty that his trading partner could get better deals elsewhere, but says nothing. His taking advantage of this knowledge and being sure to get in with the first offer feels like taking advantage. If only everyone had the information that the padre had, the whole group could be made much better off than they end up being. But the padre chooses to keep it to himself so that he can maximize his windfall.
There's some truth to this intuition, especially in small group settings and among family members. If we all horded information to try and maximize our individual private benefit in every context, group action would be all but impossible to any meaningful degree. Even the conduct of business depends to no small degree to those willing to give in an open and uncalculated way.
But negotiation, hard sells, and prudent bargaining have their place. In a time where commerce has connected businesses and billions of strangers the world over, that place is quite large.
Moreover, the information that the padre obtained is hard to get. Especially on a global scale. Providing the incentive to uncover it is part of what leads to long run betterment for everyone.
Radford's article gets to this point. In the quoted paragraph, you can already see that people have learned to be more prudent after the initial rounds of trading.
Later in the article, the prisoners converge on cigarettes as the common currency. They list what they have in terms of cigarettes, so the information that was precious when the padre had it is now trivially easy to come by.
In such a situation, how is arbitrage even possible?
Let's say that someone figured out—or just speculated—that there might be a week that the parcels failed to come, and stored their parcels in order to sell at a premium on such a week. They certainly make a profit if they are right in their guess or their information is reliable.
And look at how much better this is than the padre: we have someone who takes all the up-front risk on themselves; it may turn out that they delayed consumption for no gain at all. But they're performing a valuable service for the community: hedging against the possibility that there will be a shortage in the future. And they only get compensated for their efforts if they are right.
"The profit motive" is extremely socially valuable in very specific contexts. This is such a simple point, but so many opponents and would-be friends of commerce ignore one or both parts of it. Some refuse to see is that it is valuable, and others refuse to see that it is valuable in very specific contexts.
If you ever find yourself talking past an ideological opponent on this matter, I implore you to look at what has been said on both sides and ask whether either or both of you have ignored some part of this point.
Nice! Thanks for the pointer!

We are thrilled to introduce to you our brand new video on Far Infrared heating technology. How does Herschel Far Infrared heating work and why is it more energy efficient than convection heating? A video to demonstrate how radiant objects, including humans, absorb and emit far infrared heat . If the building you are in is cold, you feel cold because you are losing body heat to the building.
Far infrared heats the thermal mass, storing heat in the walls and objects. Our sense of comfort is less to do with the air temperature and more to do with the temperature of the environment around you.
Energy efficient, electric heating – the future of heating with Herschel.

Q: Second page of pagination displaying ALL results been stuck on this for hours.
I have a simple (I think) pagination PHP code here working fine for the first page - meaning I get the correct amount of pages displayed and the correct results displayed. Code:
<?php
$query = $_POST ['query'];
$link=mysql_connect('localhost','root','root');
    mysql_select_db("asset_catalog",$link);
$q=("SELECT COUNT(*) \"total\" FROM assets WHERE Description LIKE '%$query%' OR Manufacturer LIKE '%$query%'");
$ros=mysql_query($q,$link) or die(mysqli_error());
$row=mysql_fetch_array($ros);
$total=$row['total'];
$dis=15;
$total_page=ceil($total/$dis);
$page_cur=(isset($_GET['page']))?$_GET['page']:1;
$k=($page_cur-1)*$dis;

$q=("SELECT * FROM assets WHERE Description LIKE '%$query%' OR Manufacturer LIKE '%$query%' limit $k,$dis");
$ros=mysql_query($q,$link);

    echo "

    while($row=mysql_fetch_array($ros))

        {
            if (($i % 5) == 0) echo "

                $i++;
        }

        if ( $i > 0 && ($i-1) % 3 < 2) echo "

        echo "

?>

<?php

}
for($i=1;$i<$total_page;$i++)
{
    if($page_cur==$i)
    {
        echo ' <input style="background-color:green;border:2px black solid;border-radius:5px;width:30px;height:30px;color:black;font-size:15px;font-weight:bold;" type="button" value="'.$i.'"> ';

    }
}
if($page_cur<$total_page)

    echo '<input style="cursor:pointer;background-color:green;border:1px black solid;border-radius:5px;width:90px;height:30px;color:white;font-size:15px;font-weight:bold;" type="button" value=" Next ">';

}?>

The problem is if I click on the second page it displays ALL results in the DB - not the results that should be in the second page. Additionally, if I have say 3 pages initially, once I go to the second page it shows me there are 70 pages aka(all the db)
I'm sure there is a quick fix for this but for the life of me I can't figure it out.
Any help, advice would be great. Thank you!

A: Between pages you lose your $_POST['query'] .
Instead of
$query = $_POST ['query'];

do
$query = (isset($_POST ['query']))?$_POST['query']:$_GET['query'];

or use
$query = $_REQUEST['query'];

AND
in your pagination link replace
'<a href="pagination.php?page='.($page_cur-1).'" style

with
'<a href="pagination.php?page='.($page_cur-1).'&query='.$query.'" style

Five things to know as Zuma stay of prosecution case begins this week
Politics / 19 May 2019, 3:15pm / SIHLE MAVUSO
Former president Jacob Zuma. File photo: ANA
Pietermaritzburg - Former President Jacob Zuma's bid to halt his prosecution for alleged corruption emanating from the arms acquisition of the early 90s begins on Monday at the Pietermaritzburg High Court and it will run for four days.
Zuma is facing 18 charges for allegedly receiving bribe money from Thales via his former financial adviser, Schabir Shaik.
The case relates to the country's contentious arms deal, in which Thales secured a multi-billion rand contract to supply combat systems for the South African navy.
Here is what you need to know about the history of the epic legal fight between Zuma and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA):
Zuma was first charged in 2007
Shortly after he was sacked as the country's deputy president in June 2005 following the conviction of Shaik, there was speculation that Zuma would be charged for corruption.
Instead, he was charged in December 2007, shortly after winning the ANC presidency against Thabo Mbeki.
The charges were later dropped by Advocate Mokotedi Mpshe in April 2009, citing political interference and manipulation.
The DA fought to have the charges reinstated
After court victories starting with being granted access to the so called spy tapes that were used by Mpshe, the DA fought another long battle to have the charges to be brought back and in March last year, he was charged again. This was shortly after being forced out of office by the ANC.
The matter will be heard by three judges
According to Nathi Mncube, the spokesperson of the Office of the Chief Justice, three judges will hear the application to have the case struck off the roll and the three judges are Judge Jerome Mnguni, Judge Jan Steyn and Judge Thoba Poyo-Dlwati.
Mncube said in terms of case flow management principles that are applied in all divisions of the High Court, a judge who case manages a matter rarely presides over the same matter, hence Deputy Judge President Mjabuliseni Madondo could not hear the matter.
Both Zuma and Thales denies the accusations and want the prosecution to be stopped
Zuma's bid to halt the prosecution will be joined by Thales, the French arms manufacturer accused of bribing him.
Thales spokesperson Cédric Leurquin said the delays were not caused by company and it believes it won't get a fair trial.
"Bearing in mind the very long delay of this procedure – through no fault of Thales at all – together with a range of factors beyond its control, Thales believes it cannot obtain a fair trial, as it is entitled to under the South-African Constitution and international law.
"Thales reiterates that it has no knowledge of any transgressions having been committed by any of its employees in relation to the awarding of the contract for the combat systems for South Africa's corvettes (the Arms Deal in 1999)," he said.
No Night Vigil this time around
Unlike during his previous court appearances, this time around supporters of Zuma will not have a night vigil, instead they will be having a prayer on Monday in Pietermaritzburg which will be attended by his supporters and African National Congress (ANC) members from the Moses Mabhida region.
The organiser of Support for Zuma, Bishop Vusi Dube, an incoming ANC member of the provincial legislature, said on Monday, they will have a march before the proceedings start.
"We will march from Dales Park to Freedom Park and camp there for the whole day while proceedings are going on. We expect Zuma to come to address us during the lunch break around 1pm and give us an update of what will has happened in court," Dube told Independent Media.

Can I have a favorite wedding from last season? This is pretty high up there! The florals! The custom drawn map! The photos! The beautiful bride! The handsome groom! The amazing venue! There was a lot of things going for this wedding. Elizabeth and JJ were my last full planning couple before Easton's arrival and it was so fun to be right along side them making every decision! We picked the central location of Lancaster, PA for friends & family coming from NY/CT and for those traveling up from DC. The Excelsior is absolutely stunning and truly needs nothing to make it amazing. Elizabeth and JJ chose to compliment their fall wedding day with marsala and navy & Eight Tree Street completely blew us away with her florals!
Also, what do you do when your bride is gluten intolerant? You ditch the cake, hire an ice-cream cart and put together an amazing ice-cream sundae bar. That salted caramel made me a very happy pregnant lady!
Elizabeth and JJ — thank you for allowing me to be a part of your amazing wedding day! It was an honor to help you plan your happily ever after!


Schools are the places where children spend most of their time and it is essential that they have a comfortable environment for studying and are equipped with equipment that ensures safety and security. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan is working to strengthen energy savings and disaster prevention functions of school facilities. It aims to enhance safety in the long term and reduce environmental burdens through repairs and renovations instead of simply rebuilding school facilities. One solution attracting attention today is AGC's high-performance window panes specializing in safety, comfort and environment.
AGC supplies various types of safety glass for schools, including laminated glass, tempered glass and Low-emissivity (Low-E) double glazing, which is applied with the heat insulating and shielding metallic coating. In Japanese elementary and junior high schools, there were 80 schools using our glass from the period of January 2015 to May 2017. We provide security and safety for children's daily learning environment.
Structure of "laminated glass", which do not scatter when broken.
Elementary and junior high schools want to prevent window glass breakage caused by earthquakes or typhoons. In particular, since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995 and the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, schools have accelerated seismic resistance improvements of school buildings. Serving well for this purpose is laminated glass and tempered glass. Laminated glass has penetration resistance greater than conventional glass. Tempered glass is about 3 to 5 times stronger than conventional glass and provides disaster prevention performance. It is also breakage resistant, so that even if it gets broken, the fragments become granular without sharp edges, suitable for disaster measures.
Such high-performance glass plays an important role in the corridors that students walk through as evacuation routes, and in gymnasiums, which are used as local evacuation sites in case of disasters. Hiragino Elementary School and Shimotoba Elementary School in Kyoto City, Japan, adopted AGC's glass for environmental improvement suitable for education and enhancement of evacuation site functions. We provide security and safety for local residents as well as students and teachers.
AGC has developed double glazing units to help make people's lives comfortable. Double glazing consists of two sheets of glass, the hollow layer between generating a heat insulation effect. Low-E glass with Low-E coating improves the heat insulation capabilities and energy savings. The demand for Low-E glass has increased in areas with wide temperature range and in elementary and junior high schools with air-conditioners.
Kakujo Elementary School in Aizu-wakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture introduced tempered Low-E double glazing as a countermeasure to the cold in winter, leading to the enhancement of its heat resistance capability. At Midorigaoka Junior High School in Nakatsu City, Oita Prefecture, where the temperature is high throughout the year, a combination of air conditioners and Low-E double glazing significantly improved the comfort in classrooms, making the children happy. At Hiragino Elementary School and Shimotoba Elementary School in Kyoto City, where it is humid and hot in summer and bitterly cold in winter due to its location as a basin, physical education classes used to be very hot. A combination of Low-E double glazing and blowers in the gymnasium made the classes significantly more comfortable.
AGC's high-performance window glass provides comfortable learning environments through high energy saving performance such as insulating and shielding capability, also preventing damage from broken and falling glass during earthquakes and typhoons. It is expected that future schools will be required to act as hubs for local communities, and we will also contribute to society by developing high-performance glass for schools, helping everyone from the young to the elderly.

It's unclear how far back those convictions go, but many involve possessing a small amount of marijuana and could date back decades. Prosecutors and public defenders are still working out how to notify people of the changes to their records.

Bet on AS Roma vs FC Porto and claim your bonus with Unibet !
Roma have never beaten Porto in European competition (D2 L2). They were eliminated by the Portuguese side in both previous two-legged encounters (1981/82 Cup Winners Cup second round, 2016/17 Champions League play-off).
Porto have lost six of their seven away games against Italian clubs in the Champions League, the only exception coming in September 1996 with a 3-2 win against AC Milan.
Roma have reached the knockout stages of the Champions League for the seventh time in their last eight participations. They won all three of their home games in the knockout phase last season, on their way to the semi-finals.
Since winning the Champions League in 2004, Porto have progressed past the round of 16 only twice (2008/09, 2014/15) and never further than the quarter-finals.
Porto have won none of their last five Champions League knockout games (D1 L4), failing to score in each of their last four.
Porto were one of five teams to remain unbeaten in this season's Champions League group stages, along with Ajax, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Lyon. In fact, they have won their last five Champions League games, their best ever run in the competition.
Porto are unbeaten in their last five Champions League games away from home (W2 D3) – they last went six away games without defeat in the 2003/04 campaign, when they won the trophy.
Games involving Porto have produced eight penalties in the Champions League this season (4 for, 4 against), twice as many as any other team.
100% of Roma's goals in this season's Champions League have been scored from inside the box (11/11). Bayern Munich (15/15) and Liverpool (9/9) are the only other teams yet to find the net from outside the box among the 16 remaining teams.
Edin Dzeko has scored eight goals in his last five Champions League games at the Olimpico. He has found the net 15 times for Roma in the competition, which is two short of the all-time record for the Italian side, currently held by Francesco Totti (17 goals).
Porto striker Moussa Marega has scored in each of his last five Champions League appearances, currently the longest run. He is also the fourth African player to find the net in five consecutive games in the competition after George Weah, Didier Drogba and Marouane Chamakh.

The stage is cradled by the Catskills Mountains of central New York (two hours from New York City), creating a breathtaking atmosphere for fans and artists alike. "I walked out and I literally -- when I walked around that corner with a guitar it literally took my breath," Randy Houser recalls of his 2014 experience. "The way that venue sits, it's like they're sitting on top of you." Hunter Mountain is a skiing destination six months out of the year. The stage sits at the bottom of the slope, and the fans work up the hill.
The Second Stage

A second indoor stage keeps the music going between acts and when the main stage shuts down for the night. Jessica Lynn played until almost 1AM one night. 'The Voice' contestant Gwen Sebastian is another artist who sat down for a more intimate set. The Bud Light stage is one of the hidden jewels of the Taste of Country Music Festival -- a jewel you won't want to miss.
The Country Girls ...
By mid-June, the temperature in central New York is plenty hot enough to encourage a country girl to bust out the short shorts and cowgirl boots. Tight tanks, mud-splattered bluejeans and even bikini tops are amongst the regular sightings at Hunter Mountain. But don't worry, ladies, there is something for everyone ...
... And the Country Boys
The fellas do alright, too. A few guys rock a traditional cowboy look, while many others are eager to show off a gym-toned body they've been sculpting since winter started. Hey, the music stops on occasion so crews can load in gear. We promise there's always something to look at.
The Towns Around Hunter N.Y.
Taste of Country Music Festival
Even though 25,000 people flood their city every June, the small town of Hunter, N.Y. remains as charming as any getaway retreat in America. There are plenty of local shops and restaurants if you need to break away from the festival for an hour or three. Local hotels provide comfort for anyone not wanting to camp, and if you need to hit up the Walmart, there's one of those within driving distance, as well.
The Campground Parties
Things get a little crazy after hours. Unlike many festivals where the camping is spread across miles of lifeless fields, the camping at ToC Fest is all onsite and within walking distance to the stage. Tent campers, car campers and RV campers are all welcome! What can we say, we're awesome.
Artist Interaction
Every year a few artists ask to mingle with fans in the parking lot or at the campground. Dustin Lynch took a tour in 2013, and others followed in 2014. There are also plenty of meet and greet opportunities if you want an official pic. But keep a close eye on that guy next to you in line for a cheeseburger ... he could end up on stage an hour later.
Families Welcome
There's a lot more to the Taste of Country Music Festival than camping and loud and rowdy country music. The food and onsite children's activities -- there's a petting zoo -- make this a party everyone in the family will appreciate.
The Lineup ... Again
It's so good it deserves another mention. Thomas Rhett, Chase Rice, Hank Williams, Jr. and Thompson Square were just three of the opening acts in 2014. The 2015 lineup is still filling out, but soon we'll announce names that are just as well-known. Expect hit after hit after hit when you walk to the Hunter Mountain stage. The Taste of Country Music Festival is truly country music's Woodstock.

It's no secret that Fall is my favorite season, probably because I am a Fall baby (October birthdays are the best!). It is finally September but it has yet to cool off in Atlanta, today it was a cool 85 degrees but with no humidity so I'll take it! I am just itching for fall drinks and fall activities, hello September!!!!
My favorite part of fall has to be the changing of the leaves. Although this is what makes me miss Michigan the most, there are so many trees there that it is practically a law that you have to take a drive just to look at all the color. You get some color in Georgia, but you really have to drive north of Atlanta, up in the mountains to see some real color. According to this chart that I found, fall colors are found in Georgia during early November. How disappointing, November is practically Christmas.
One of everyone's favorite parts of September is the release of Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I'm not as crazy about them as some people, I can usually have 1 small one and be good for the entire season. However, I love that Hot Apple Cider can be found at most coffee joints during fall. I always have a taste for cider.
Activities I am looking forward to most this year are Apple Picking, Pumpkin Picking and baking pies. My mom makes the best pies, she and I have a tradition where we make pumpkin pies together. She makes the crust and I make the filling then baked with love. I celebrate Thanksgiving with some of my family in Atlanta, an aunt who happens to be one of my mom's sisters. I was taught never to show up empty handed, so for the past 2 years I have baked a pie for Thanksgiving. This year will be no different, I even bought an antique picnic basket that is the perfect size for a pie to transport it safely to North Georgia. I cannot wait!
In case you need any more ideas for fall activities here you go. Happy Fall!

Shearers have shorn to the top of the Business House Bowls on 76 points. Lockhart Shire and Cango are equal second on 64, followed by VTX Fuels on 63. Bowlers travelled to Wagga on Saturday to play RSL, with RSL proving too strong. Jason Healy went down 29-16; Max Montgomery went down 26-12 while Barry Love, in close one, went down 18-15. We were a bit undermanned with six bowlers unavailable but still a good effort. Great to hear Dave Norton is back home on the road to recovery. Just a reminder that Jackpot Pairs on Sundays starts at 9.30am, not 10.30am. Thaks to Clinton and Trish Trevaskis for running the RSA and RCG courses over the weekend.

i use two Printer with one Raspberry Pi. In future another Printer will be controlled by this raspi too.
All Printers will have his own Camera to view the printing from everywhere.
For now there is one RaspiCam and one USB Cam. In future two USB cams.
So the mjpgstreamer config for the cams are different. (Cam1 /dev/video0 and Port 8080, Cam2 /dev/video1 and Port8081) and so on.
The config for mjpgstreamer schould be configurable by printer or global config.
Edit the device name , port, resolution ect. to start parallel mjpegstreamer processes for different cams.
At the moment i use a shell script to start a second mjpgstreamer for the usb cam.
I guess you are referring to the image solution since the normal server config already allows one camera per printer.
Should be not to hard to allow maybe 4 webcams in total. Configuration will be harder. Will see if I get some ideas as I also want to allow changing webcam properties like framerate and resolution.
no this freature request is not for the resolution.
When you save a Cam config to a printer, you can only use USB or Pi Cam config.
I think at this point you have to set the cam config for mjpegstream to. Maybe in advanced user config.
If there more then one cam you have to start multiple mjpgstreamer instances (webcam Server) with different config like local Port where you can grep the video, the /dev/videox device and maybe resolution ect. When you click restart webcam server you only restart the webcam server for this printer where you make the config.
We are currently planning a better strategy for configuring mjpg streamer allowing multiple instances with simple setup from server config.
Sounds good, maybe in the next update I can do a (beta) test for this function if you want..
Yes, 0.80.2 on V5 image has automatic configuration of multiple webcams. In configuration of webcam you then get a dropdown to select from up to 11 webcams (pi + 10 usb). You can even set resolution + Framerate. But maybe you should wait a few days until we release V6 image as V5 has a problem with wlan setup. Working on last kinks for update to 0.80.3 with new fixed image.
@Repetier great. Thank-you for the update!


We can't help but smile when we watch this fun Connecticut wedding!
Annie and Gary were married at the Fairfield Beach Club in Fairfield, CT, on September 21, 2013. Their navy and yellow color scheme was perfect for a beach wedding! We love seeing the enthusiasm of the bridal party as the day begins with a special flower delivery from Gary. Plus, who wouldn't love a special appearance by an adorable Boston terrier?
Annie looked stunning in her gown, which featured a sweetheart neckline, beaded belt and tiered ruffle skirt. We also love the navy lace bridesmaid dresses. Of course, the groom and groomsmen looked dapper in their brightly colored socks with gray suits. The wedding party as a whole was a fun, energetic group, which definitely shows in this film!
Annie and Gary held a very traditional ceremony in a beautiful church. They took some amazing pictures on the beach, and even played a beanbag toss game, complete with Annie's new initials! We love their decor for their cocktail hour and reception. The combination of navy and yellow really pops in their setup. We also love being able to see the silly side of the newlyweds and their guests in the photo booth!

Hair Recycling Technologies garden products recycling business plan development status. Hair Recycling Technologies makes garden supplements and soil amendments made from recycled hair.
Hair Recycling Technologies will start its pilot program by establishing business partner relationships with owners of hair establishments in the Midwest. These relationships will involve placing hair collection bins in the salons to be picked up on a two-week basis. HRT will use a leased van to receive the supply of hair. Potting soil, along with peat moss, will be acquired to make the prototype. After two weeks, HRT will retrieve the hair collection bins; subsequently, the company will begin the next phase of processing.
Hair Recycling Technologies will process the human hair by using a conventional microwave oven which will sanitize the human hair and then using a rotary cutter which will chop the hair into smaller strands. HRT will then process the components of human hair, potting soil, and peat moss. Substantial portions of each component will be combined and packaged. Thus, SMART SOIL, the company's premier product, will be completed with a cost of less than 50 cents a bag.
2002: [Two people processing] ~250,000 units/yr.
2003: [Three people processing] ~375,000 units/yr.
As the projections indicate, the company essentially plans to stay in its current South Bend location through the first quarter of 2003. HRT projects to be fully established in a new South Bend facility by the beginning of the second quarter of 2003.
To sanitize and toss the hair to prevent matting.
Cuts hair into finer strands for better packaging and consumer appeal.
Advertising: Continued advertising costs will be approximately 15% of gross sales. Additional in-depth cost structure will be covered in the Financial Analysis.

Cliff Bungalow-Mission loses condo battle
by Quinton Amundson February 13, 2014 October 26, 2020
Community association fails to convince city council to conform to its condominium height rules
In an 8-5 vote, Calgary City Council said "no" to a motion that would have prevented the construction of a 38-unit condominium building on 25th Avenue S.W., which violates the Mission community development rules.
The association expressed its resentment toward the plan to convert four adjacent homes into a condominium because the proposal does not conform to the current Mission Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP).
The current Mission ARP limits the height of buildings to 15 metres and the floor-to-area ratio — a measurement that helps determine population density — to 3.5.
The application brought forth to council at the Feb. 10 meeting by lawyer Davis Jensen — representing property owner Rob Prodanovic — proposed changing the rule to a maximum height of 24 metres and a 4.5 floor-to-area ratio.
People that spoke out at the city council meeting against the condominium stated that the smaller buildings play a big role in why Mission has the second highest population density in the entire city.
These are the four homes on 25th Avenue S.W. that will be converted into a 38-unit condominium building as a result of council's Feb. 10 decision to reject a motion to abandon the plan.
Photo by Quinton Amundson"We have had many people that live in the community say that the smaller buildings give the community character and is a big reason [why] they move to the community in the first place," said Rick Williams — the director of development and planning of the Cliff Bungalow-Mission Community Association.
As part of council's public hearing, other members of the Mission community voiced objections to the application. Community-dwellers raised concerns about increased traffic, less parking and less sunshine in the area.
On behalf of the developer, Jensen argued there are other large buildings in the vicinity where the condominium is being built as part of his case to approve the construction of the building.
After completion of the public hearing, Ward 8 Coun. Evan Woolley proposed a motion to abandon the condominium plan. He said the community worked hard with the City to put together its ARP and it would not be right to ignore the rules and regulations listed in that document.
The following four members of Calgary City Council supported Woolley's motion:
Ward 7 Coun. Druh Farrell
Ward 6 Coun. Richard Pootmans
Ward 1 Coun. Ward Sutherland
Mayor Naheed Nenshi
The following eight members of Calgary City Council did not support Woolley's motion:
Ward 3 Coun. Jim Stevenson
Ward 4 Coun. Sean Chu
Ward 5 Coun. Ray Jones
Ward 9 Coun. Gian-Carlo Carra
Ward 10 Coun. Andre Chabot
Ward 12 Coun. Shane Keating
Ward 13 Coun. Diane Colley-Urquhart
Ward 14 Coun. Peter Demong
Councillor Chu said he made his choice because there are already higher buildings in the area.
After the vote was cast, Farrell suggested that more engagement was needed between the applicants and the community association. She recommended the applicants try and work with the association to come to an understanding on the potential benefits to the community that would come with having this condominium built.
After a lengthy discussion, Calgary City Council passed a motion, which instructed the applicants to have discussions with the community about potential benefits in order to come to a solution before construction starts.
However, an understanding was reached between council members that if the applicants failed in their discussions with the community, their proposal would be approved anyway.
This item will be on council's agenda before the end of June.

Monday Medical: Soccer — a physical therapist's point of view
Susan Cunningham
For a sport that builds strength and agility, while fostering teamwork and communication, look no further than soccer.
"There's the mental side of it, which involves teamwork and self-awareness, and the physical side, which involves dynamic movements and coordination," said Dave Grinnell, a physical therapist and board-certified clinical specialist in orthopedics at UCHealth SportsMed Clinic in Steamboat Springs. "And, at the end of the day, it's a fun game."
From ball handling to pivoting prowess, soccer builds physical skills and coordination. It also builds physical strength.
"If you watch a soccer game, you'll see players are moving all the time, making quick changes of speed from a slow pace to a full-blown sprint," Grinnell said. "That puts a demand on the body to go from anaerobic to aerobic activity."
And don't forget the strength of character that soccer develops. Players learn to work as a team, communicate, listen to their coaches and do their part as best as they can.
Possible injuries
In any competitive sport, games can be chaotic. "Fans are cheering, coaching takes place from the sideline, and teammates are trying to communicate with you," Grinnell said. "Meanwhile, you're focused on the ball, other players and running on an unpredictable surface. All of those factors can increase the risk of injury."
Ankle sprains and noncontact knee injuries, such as tears to the anterior cruciate ligament — or ACL — may result from quickly changing direction or decelerating. Intense forces on the hips may result in impingement and labral tears. Muscular strains, especially to the hamstrings, are also common.
For younger players, growing muscles and tendons can pull on the shin bone or heel bone, causing pain.
Preventing injuries
Building both strength and balance are key to a successful soccer season.
"Strength and muscular endurance are huge components because soccer is a very dynamic game," Grinnell said. "Players change direction quickly, moving forward, backward and to the side, all of which requires precision balance. And when you're trying to get a lot of power behind a shot, you have to be stable and strong on your stance leg."
Muscle imbalances — such as having strong quadriceps and weak hamstrings — can result in a greater risk of injury. A physical therapist or other professional can help identify imbalances and create a strengthening program that works well for you.
"We can assess your movement patterns, such as jumping mechanics and how well you change direction and decelerate, and make recommendations for specific changes in an attempt to reduce your risk of injury," Grinnell said.
Grinnell also recommends a dynamic warmup, in which a player goes through the range of motions they'll encounter on the field.
"It primes the body to get ready for movement," Grinnell said. "You'll raise your core temperature and increase blood flow, which gets muscles ready for higher metabolic activity."
And don't forget the value of resting in the off-season. Be wary of overuse and overtraining, as too much time on the field can result in injury.
The spirt of the game
As a soccer coach and player himself, Grinnell has a few other tips for players and their parents.
"Parents should cheer their kids on, but let the coaches do their jobs," Grinnell said. "You don't want to have the coach telling a player to do something on the field that relates to team management, then have the parent yelling the exact opposite thing."
Respect other players and coaches, as well as referees. And keep the game fun.
"Kids can become burned out when sports seasons overlap and their growing bodies don't have adequate rest to heal," Grinnell said. "It's great to be a multi-sport athlete, especially early on, but you should allow time for rest and rejuvenation."

After I completed my first full day as an entrepreneur, I felt overwhelmed--and voices and warnings from various folks echoed in my head: "Are you sure you can do this without a team and support? You know you're not the most organized person. Make sure you don't burn any bridges in case you change your mind."
I'll admit that my daily to-do list was several times longer and far broader topically than it ever was as a senior partner in a consulting firm.
Many people have heard of the 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto principle. It essentially states that 20 percent of your effort results in 80 percent of your outcomes.
The book I recently authored, Superconsumers, highlights that in any category and in any country, that about ten percent of consumers drive anywhere from 30-70 percent of category sales, even higher category profit and 99 percent of the insights to grow the category.
The 80/20 rule also works at managing local geographies. Some of your local areas--be it countries from a global perspective or local neighborhoods and zipcodes--are far more productive and profitable than others. One ice cream company found that 50 percent of its top selling flavor was sold in a mere 3,000 out of 35,000 grocery stores.
The 80/20 rule can help you prune your resource allocation and help you preserve your sanity. Nearly every business has "power SKUs" or services that generate most of the value, and it can be time to prune your offering. Aside from that, it can be to prune your where you allocate your time and effort.
As an entrepreneur, the tyranny of the urgent can cause you to forget to invest in your career and professional development. The 80/20 rule can help you invest in your career and your professional development.
Superbosses, a book by Sydney Finkelstein, found that a few amazing bosses were responsible for the lion share of leadership development. At one point 62 percent of NFL head coaches came from one coach, Bill Walsh.
Even as an entrepreneur, it's key to stay in touch with the very best bosses and mentors you have and continue to invest in those relationships. Send them handwritten notes and cards and let them know how thankful you are for them.
Finally, the 80/20 rule is a great way to ensure you invest in your body and soul. There are little things specific to you as an individual that recharge your batteries disproportionately more than the time it takes to do.
For me, it's swimming. As someone who was born and raised in Hawaii and is often homesick, I make it a point to stay in hotels when I travel that have a nice pool. Even if I swim just for a little bit, it restores my sanity and refreshes my soul.
Writing is also a great restorative thing for me. In fact, writing this article helped me feel better about my first day as an entrepreneur. Even though I only got to two thirds of my to do list, I feel much better than I thought.
About a third of what I did today was write, which restored my soul. A third of what I did was customer facing, which made me feel productive. And the final third was administravia, which was draining.
But two spoonfuls of sugar did make the medicine go down.

"Black" Angel Wyuka Cemetery?
by Webmaster in Uncategorized
The Wyuka Cemetery in Nebraska City has a Black Angel, the name on the stone is Black and she moves from plot to plot with no marks left. In the time I have been living in the area, she has moved countless times, all over the cemetery. What is the history of this phenomenon and why does she move?
Did Nebraska Have A 'Roswell Episode' Long Ago?
Awaaay back in 1884
By JOHN WENZ / Daily Nebraskan
Ben Kamprath/DN
Very few people have heard of Max, Nebraska.
A cursory look at the Google Map of the town shows just how small it is – under 20 blocks, a blip in southwest Nebraska. It's just eight miles from the seat of Dundy County: Benkelman, population 914.
But Max, the blip it may be, is the closest town to an incident in that occurred 1884.
The Nebraska Nugget reported:
"About 35 miles northwest of Benkelman, Dundy County, on the 6th of June (1884) a very startling phenomenon occurred. It seems that John W. Ellis and three of his herdsmen and a number of other cowboys were out engaged in a roundup. They were startled by a terrific whirring noise over their heads, and turning their eyes saw a blazing body falling like a shot to Earth. It struck beyond them, being hidden from view by a bank."
One of the herdsmen, Alf Williamson, was burned as he approached the craft, which had created a split in the ground as it dragged to a stop. He was taken back to Ellis' home and treated for his burns.
E.W. Rawlins, the brand inspector for the district, came to inspect it.
The Nebraska State Journal reported on the event in 1887, saying:
"One piece that looked like the blade of a propeller screw, of a metal of an appearance like brass, about 16 inches wide, three inches thick and three-and-a-half feet long, was picked up by a spade. It would not weigh more than five pounds, but appeared as strong and compact as any known metal. A fragment of a wheel with a milled rim, apparently having had a diameter of seven or eight feet, was also picked up. It seemed to be of the same material and had the same remarkable lightness."
The lack of physical evidence means there's nothing much left today, and John Buder, a field researcher with the Mutual UFO Network of Nebraska, said that the people of Dundy County shy away from talking about the event.
Most of his investigation into it has been research. He first stumbled across the story in a tourist's guide to Nebraska. From there, he's found it in multiple books on the subject.
"There has been a lot of studies made on UFO crashes," Buder said. "The people who I would claim know the most have not identified it as a hoax."
It was the second UFO crash Buder knows of, and the first to be recorded in newspapers of the time. The story started a worldwide wave of similar stories – some more reputable than others.
One such case is the 1897 crash near Aurora, Texas, where four alien bodies are supposedly buried in a graveyard. Eyder Peralta, a reporter for the Houston Chronicle, investigated that crash and turned up nothing.
But the Nebraska crash is the first reported. It was only after the incident near Max that it became a sort of mythology.
"That means that all these other hoax crashes that started seem to have gotten their start at Max, Nebraska," Buder said.
It's a piece of Nebraska history only occasionally touched on, Roswell before there was a Roswell to speak of.
"I'd say right now there's only a few dozen people in Nebraska who even know about it," Buder said.
But how does a craft just disappear, just dissolve in a crash? What about the "cogs" that the craft threw off as it approached the ground? Did those, too, simply disappear?
It's a legend taken more seriously than most of the era in ufology circles, which is not to say there aren't skeptics.
Alan Boye wrote in his recent book, "The Complete Roadside Guide to Nebraska," that "there are, of course, many people who do not believe the story, and others who claim it is yet another UFO story neglected and laughed at by skeptics."
Skeptical or not, Buder asserts that it was the beginning of the wave of stories, ground zero for what would turn into airship sightings as time went on.
He sees the building of the railroad coinciding with the sightings of the era. In fact, the crafts were often described as "railroad engines without wheels" at the time.
"It's ironic that this same story, this being the first, was repeated many more times worldwide at later dates," Buder said.
And as for the remnants, Buder thinks there might be some things tucked away in the Republican River valley.
"I wouldn't doubt that out there in one of those tool sheds or barns out there, there's a piece of metal that no one knows where it came from," he said.
History of Otoe County, Nebraska, USA
From Andreas' History of the State of Nebraska
Mystery of Minersville
Minersville was named for the coal deposits and mines in the bluffs overlooking the Missouri River. It is located in Otoe County in eastern central Nebraska about four miles south of Nebraska City and four miles east. It is located right next to the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks.
The town was first called Bennett's Ferry, due to a man named John Bennett, who operated a ferry across the Missouri River to Iowa. The post office in Bennett's Ferry opened on January 28, 1856. The name was changed to Otoe City on April 20, 1857. The name was changed again to Minersville on December 21, 1874.
At one time there was over 1,000 people living in Minersville. In 1901, a shaft cave in at the coal mines killed all but 14 men and boys working at the mine. The post office operated until February 15, 1923. The downtown area is still there, but is really run down.
NC Mysteries Open
The first Mystery has been solved.
We now know why Nebraska City has a 9 1/2 Street!
Next, why is there a street sign at 16th street and 6th Avenue? There is no street crossing. There is a large tree to the west and a steep hill and house to the east.

Axl Rose Sues Activision for $20M for Including Slash in 'Guitar Hero'
The Guns N' Roses frontman has just filed a $20 million lawsuit against "Guitar Hero" maker Activision claiming its use of the GNR song "Welcome to the Jungle" violated a deal not to include any imagery of ex-guitarist Saul Hudson (aka Slash) in the popular game.

Axl Rose really doesn't want to be associated with ex-bandmate Slash.
The Guns N' Roses frontman has just filed a $20 million lawsuit against Guitar Hero maker Activision claiming its use of the GNR song "Welcome to the Jungle" violated a deal not to include any imagery of ex-guitarist Saul Hudson (aka Slash) in the popular game.
In an amusing lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Rose and his Black Frog Music claim that Activision Blizzard fraudulently induced Rose into authorizing "Jungle" for use in Guitar Hero III by telling him during negotiations that it wouldn't feature any reference to the former GNR member or his subsequent band, Velvet Revolver.
"[Activision] began spinning a web of lies and deception to conceal its true intentions to not only feature Slash and VR prominently in GH III but also promote the game by emphasizing and reinforcing an association between Slash and Guns N' Roses and the band's song 'Welcome to the Jungle,' " the complaint states.
When Rose found out that a Slash-like chararacter and Velvet Revolver songs would be included in GH II, he says he immediately rescinded the authorization for "Jungle," but Activision allegedly lied and told him the inclusion was just for the purposes of a trade show. Then GH III came out and its box cover featured "an animated depiction of Slash, with his signature black top hat, long dark curly hair, dark sunglasses and nose-piercing," according to the complaint. In short, the former GNR guitarist was all over GH III, enraging Rose.
Rose also claims that the GNR song "Sweet Child O' Mine" was used in an online promotion for GH III despite being licensed only for GH II. He wants $20 million in damages from sales of the popular game.
"This lawsuit is about protecting Guns N' Roses and 'Welcome to the Jungle' and is about holding Activision accountable for its misuse of these incredibly valuable assets," Rose lawyer Skip Miller says. "The relief we are seeking is disgorgement of profits and compensatory and punitive damages."
We've reached out to Activision for comment.

Frank Skinner has announced that he will perform 10 dates at Leicester Square Theatre in London.
The shows will take place from Monday 3rd June until Thursday 13th June. It marks the first time in four years that Skinner will be performing live comedy.
His last live comedy appearances were with The Man With No Show, which saw him perform an hour of completely improvised stand-up comedy with no material and no set list.
Tickets cost £20 and are on sale Friday 1st March from http://www.leicestersquaretheatre.com.
Skinner started his live career in 1984 where he performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. He spent £400 of his last £435 to book a room so he could play at the festival.
In 1991 he returned to Edinburgh and beat fellow nominees Jack Dee and Eddie Izzard to take home comedy's most prestigious prize, The Perrier Award. Since then he's gone on to be one of the country's most-loved comedians and TV personalities.
Skinner's last live stand-up show, Man in a Suit, sold out its debut run at London's Soho Theatre and a subsequent five week residency at the Leicester Square Theatre. He performed it for 24 consecutive nights at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2014.

Exit Interview: Alex Killorn, "There's got to be more urgency"
Transcribed for accessibility. Alex Killorn talks about the season, the energy of young players, and his belief that the Lightning don't need to drastically change the roster.

As the season ends, Tampa Bay Lightning players reflect on the ups and downs of a very tumultuous season. Relevant quotes from the recent interviews are transcribed below. For the sake of clarity and fluency, I have omitted extraneous uses of the phrases "you know," "obviously," "and," "so," and "but."
Pregame Press Conference - April 9, 2017
Alex Killorn: We were that close to being in a playoff spot when 30-something games out it didn't look really good. For us, we take positives out of that. But I think just in terms of season, there's got to be more urgency. You realize that making the playoffs is really tough in this league. With the parity in the league, it's difficult. We just have to be ready and have that sense of urgency throughout the entire season.
Question: You guys have made a couple of really big runs in the last couple of years. Just in the playoffs last year and now you almost did it - is it more emphasis on the start of the season and the first half?
Killorn: Yeah, we've had some really good runs. I think in a lot of those you realize how much fun playoff hockey is and you kind of just want to get back to the playoffs. But you have to realize that the season's a grind. There has to be more of a focus put on the season because everyone wants to play in the playoffs. That's the fun part of the season, but there has to be more of a grind during the season for us.
Exit Interview - April 10, 2017
Question: Alex, when did the reality kind of hit you? You look at the standings today and you guys missed out by one victory.
Killorn: I think it - I mean it hit us obviously when I was watching the Pittsburgh-Toronto game, at the end of that game. I think it'll sink in more once we start watching the playoffs and we see these teams playing and we're just kind of sitting at home.
Question: You look at too - last year, you were just three point better than you are this season, but you made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Killorn: Yup.
Question: It just shows, if you get in, anybody can win this thing.
Killorn: Yeah, I think it shows the parity in our division and more so our conference. It's tough to make the playoffs. Like you said, it was three points from this year to last year. It just shows you how close these teams are. It's tough looking back that it was only three points and we went all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. Something to look forward to next year.
Question: Alex, was there any point this year that you guys felt the effects of two playoff runs?
Killorn: We get asked that question throughout the year. I don't think so. Maybe injuries played a part in that, I don't know. I think for sure it's tough, but we're pros. We have to take care of our bodies. We have to make sure we're ready. I could only talk for myself personally, I don't think it had too much of an effect. Maybe mentally, it is tough playing those long playoff series, coming in the next year. But we can't use that as an excuse.
Question: In that sense - I'm sure you'd rather have a short summer than a long summer - but to have this time, going into next year, everybody fully back and healthy, to have that mental time. Do you think that - not having any choice otherwise - but does it give you a bit of a boost?
Killorn: Yeah, well when you look at it now, I mean we're not in the playoffs. It is a benefit in the sense that we've had guys that have been hurt with injuries these past couple seasons, to have a long off-season for guys to really get in their best shape will help us out. I think this team with everyone healthy is a team that people are going to be worried about.
Question: Was there a period that guys were just trying to feel each other out to see who was going to step up with the losses of all your key players early on in the season that might have kind of slowed things down for you a bit?
Killorn: Well, when the young guys came up, you mean?
Question: Yeah, not knowing if they were going to be able to step in. Was there kind of apprehension about the team? Or just not a lot of confidence?
Killorn: I think that was kind of the turning point, right? We had all these young guys coming up - kind of guys that haven't really proven themselves in the National Hockey League. For us, it was we needed to get points. That was the point in the season where if we didn't start winning, it was going to be over pretty quickly. Those guys stepped up really quick. Like I always say, they brought a ton of energy to this team. When you have guys that are excited to play and want to play, it's just the energy's contagious throughout the room.
Question: I guess if you look at January, that was the month that hit you hard with just three wins.
Killorn: Yeah, that was a tough month. I think the beginning of February, we were last in the [Eastern] Conference. To go from last in the Conference to - I don't know, what is it? One point?
Question: One point away.
Killorn: One point away. It says a lot about the way we played in these last couple months. That's one thing I think we could be proud of in the season, the way we fought back.
Question: How encouraged were you with the play of the younger players? Moving forward, having everybody back next year in addition to them [and] what they can provide, what this team can do?
Killorn: I think it just speaks to the depth in this organization, the drafting they've done. These players have been huge for us, especially throughout the run - [Adam] Erne, [Yanni] Gourde, [Joel] Vermin - you could go through the list. Even when Kuch [Nikita Kucherov] and those guys are holding a lot of the scoring, a lot of the goals, and doing a lot of the offensive things - these guys were, like I keep saying, had a ton of energy and came to play every night.
Question: The playing time that those guys got already, is that going to create just a very competitive camp when you guys come back this summer?
Killorn: I mean I hope so. You always want to have competitive camps. You always want guys fighting for jobs. That's just the way it is. I think that competitive nature will foster a good team and things we want going forward. It's always good to have guys in a competitive environment.
Question: This team hasn't changed very much in the last three years, other than the trade deadline of course - you started to have a little bit more of a makeover there. You mentioned when this team's healthy, how good it could be. You don't really need anything much - any changes in this off-season right?
Killorn: I don't know. I don't make those decisions. So yeah, I won't... I don't think there's much. We've shown with this team what we can do at the end of this season. I don't think there's much that needs to be done.
Question: Alex, when Ben [Bishop] was traded, what did you see shift-wise in Vasy's [Andrei Vasilevskiy] game, in terms of knowing he's the number one guy?
Killorn: Yeah, well for him I think it was - you guys have seen it throughout his time here with Bish [Bishop]. When he doesn't know whether he's going to be the starting goalie or not, and he ends up being the starting goalie, so it's good on him.

Electric driving
China is the world's largest EV market. It's also Polestar's second home, the site of all of our manufacturing facilities, and the place that enables us to realise our technological and design ambitions on the scale required to truly drive (see what we did there) the e-mobility revolution.
And given that China is, in many ways, the entire automotive industry in microcosm, an appearance at a Chinese auto show is an opportunity to interact with the industry directly. Which is why we appeared at Auto Shanghai 2021.
There were a number of highlights which commanded the lion's share of the Polestar-related press around the event. The golden Polestar 1 was one of them. "The Polestar 1 is already one of the most striking cars to spot on the road today," enthuses Road Show by CNET. " And for 25 fortunate customers, it's about to become even more jaw-dropping."
Built to commemorate the Polestar 1's final production year, the golden version is a send-off in style for our electric performance hybrid. Matte gold exterior, matching stitching on the Nappa leather interior, and black wheels ensured that this extremely limited-run Polestar 1 (25 to be built total) shone like a beacon for the in-person and virtual attendees of Auto Shanghai 2021.

Another focus for press and public alike was Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath's wake-up call, delivered in the form of a keynote to those who would prioritise market valuations over environmental protection. "It frankly amazes me that there are companies out there that are worth billions of dollars and have never made a car," he says. "I would like to today state clearly that the electric mobility revolution needs to be grounded in reality, not dreams."
Which is not to say that dreams don't play a part. Thinking beyond the current reality is how revolutions are formed, after all. But the collective ambition that is a more sustainable electric future needs to be firmly anchored in the real world. In today's automotive landscape.
And what better place to address the current state of automotive than China?

AURANGABAD: The state government has finally decided to launch the first phase of infrastructure work under the much-awaited Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) project at Shendra.
The government will start allotting plots for industrial, residential and commercial purposes on 845 hectares from September this year.
The government has issued work orders worth Rs 1,533 crore for the purpose. Moreover, government officials also said the work orders for infrastructure development at Bidkin under the next phase of the project will be issued within six months.
State principal secretary (industries) Apurva Chandra said work orders for trunk infrastructure components such as road and utility services, rail over bridges and information communication technology centre have been issued. The state government trying to rope in Prime Minister Narendra Modi to perform bhoomipoojan of the work, he said.
Chandra was speaking at the two-day investment summit 'Invest in Maharashtra, Invest in Marathwada' which began from Thursday at Rukhmini Hall on MGM campus. The summit has been organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) with support of the Maharashtra government.
Talking about the project development at Bidkin, Chandra said the environment clearance process is underway, which would be completed next month. "It would pave the way to float tenders for infrastructure development work in six months. Aurangabad would grow to be the next Pune. Our aim is to track best international industries," he said.
"Considering the lack of cotton processing plants in Marathwada, the state government is keen on setting up textile parks in the region. The MIDC has decided to set up textile parks in Parbhani and Beed districts as per land availability," Chandra said.
"The government is making efforts to encourage investment in industries and would be passing some policies such as electronics and single window as well as the one to encourage backward class entrepreneurs," he said.
"Since lack of land availability is hampering the growth of Maharashtra, the state government has come up with a move to boost development of industries by streamlining clearance of agricultural lands for developmental activities. The owners of over 100 acres of agriculture land can get their plots converted into 'non-agriculture' by approaching the MIDC. About 60% of this land would be used to set up industries while the remaining 40% would be utilised for residential and commercial purpose," he said.
Urging entrepreneurs of Marathwada to participate in the six-day Make In India summit from February 13, Chandra said the event will see heads of five to six countries, over 100 global CEOs and 10,000 delegates from across the globe.
Chandra said over 1 lakh sq m of exhibition and conference facilities were being set up at MMRDA grounds in Bandra Kurla Complex for investment summits. He said an exclusive pavilion will be set up for Maharashtra as the summit host. A 'Make in Maharashtra' investor summit will also be held on the sidelines of the country-level investors' summit.
Talking about the two-day summit, CII's Marathwada zonal chairman N Sriram said it is aimed at bringing successful and potential investors on one platform.
"The objective of the summit is to focus on branding of Aurangabad and Marathwada, attract investments in for the DMIC project, enhance business competitiveness of focus sectors and showcase strengths of Marathwada," said Prashant Deshpande, former chairman, CII Marathwada zone.
"The summit focuses on various sectors such as auto and engineering, agro, food and pharma, information technology and electronics and aims to attract investment worth Rs 10,000 crore," said state CII chairman, Arup Basu.
