The Royal Findhorn Yacht Club is located in a waterfront setting at Findhorn, on the coast of Moray in Scotland, on a site overlooking the sheltered inshore waters of Findhorn Bay.

History

In the early 1920s there were at least five local commercial yawls that competed in an annual regatta. As the decade progressed, a class of  Lymington scows, an 11 ft 3in. long dinghy with a . single lug sail was established, competing in regular Saturday sailing events. The first Commodore of Findhorn Yacht Club was James Chadwick and his home was used as the club meeting place. Parts of this building eventually became the current clubhouse.

1930 saw the arrival of the first of the "Findhorn X class" . sailing boat, the prototype being constructed in the village for around £80. The X class is reputed to be the forerunner to the National 18 class. By the late nineteen thirties the X class fleet had over 20 boats, before the Second World War led to the cessation of pleasure sailing.

After the war club activities recommenced, and from the late nineteen fifties there was a significant increase in both cruiser and dinghy sailing. In 1971 the Queen approved the use of the prefix "Royal" in the name of the Club.

Facilities
The club facilities include a bar and dining room and an equipment/dinghy shed, dinghy park and the two nearby piers.

Sailing
A variety of different dinghy and cruiser sailors make use of the club with racing mainly held in handicap classes. RFYC has an annual Open week held in July that starts with a Regatta weekend and continues as a separate series during the subsequent week.

Every four years, RFYC hosts the UK & Irish National 18 ft Dinghy Championships, with boats coming from Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales, and the Isle of Man. The National 18 fleet has evolved from a heavy clinker built dayboat into a lightly constructed GRP fast dinghy, requiring a crew of three.

Navigation
Findhorn Bay is a large sandy estuary with a narrow entrance that is some  wide and long at its greatest extent. Most of the bay dries at low tide but a deep channel from the entrance to the bay leads eastward to the boatyard and then south past the village piers and RFYC premises. There are visitor's moorings and water and electricity is available at the north pier, which dries. The entrance to the bay itself provides navigational challenges. A long sandy bar stretches from east to west making an entrance at lower stages of the tide hazardous if not impossible. Inshore from the bar there is a shallow lagoon, which contains extensive mussel beds. At higher stages of the tide the channel admits larger craft, although the tide race can be strong.

« South Carolina showdown–Mitt Romney
NFL 2011-2012 Pro Bowl Recap »
The Tom Brady revenge myth
One of the myths of the Super Bowl rematch between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots is the notion that this is a revenge game for Tom Brady.
Tom Brady seemed very thin-skinned during the Patriots playoff victory this year over the Denver Broncos. He resented the overexposure of Tim Tebow and Tebowmania. On behalf of the Raider Nation, I resent the exposure of Tom Brady and Bradymania.
The Raider Nation will be supporting the Giants because of the Tuck Rule. Not Justin Tuck, the Brady Tuck Rue that cheated the Raiders in years ago. Charles Woodson hit Tom Brady. Brady fumbled. Greg Biekert fell on it. Yet the victory was stolen from the Raiders and given to the Patriots.
Every time the Patriots lose a game, the story becomes about Brady's revenge.
Before the Patriots played the Ravens, there was talk about the playoff game from two years earlier when the Ravens throttled the Patriots. Left out of the storyline was the 2007 game where the Ravens were cheated out of a win that would have ended New England' perfect season. New England gets all of the close calls. They have no reason to want revenge.
Yes, the Giants shocked the world and defeated the Patriots in the Super Bowl. Yet that was a rematch of a regular season game the Patriots had already won. Yes, the Giants won in New England earlier this year. Yet the notion that Brady with all of his success should be vengeful turns the meaning of the word on its head.
Simply put, Tom Brady has become Michael Jordan. Jordan was so good that he needed to manufacture enemies to motivate himself. He would convince himself that the Knicks did not respect him. Meanwhile the Knicks were practically cowering in their locker room wondering who on their team made Jordan mad.
Everybody in the league respects Tom Brady. He has had a great career. Yet if anybody deserves revenge, it is the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders defeated the Patriots one year after the Tuck Rule game, and had the Raiders won the Super Bowl perhaps that would have been enough. They didn't, and it wasn't.
Some are saying the Patriots should win due to the sentimentality effect. The death of Myra Kraft, the loving wife of owner Robert Kraft, was very sad. She loved the players and they loved her. Yet She was not the owner. The death of Al Davis should have been a much bigger story, but sadly they did not win enough games.
Tom Brady has three Super Bowl rings. He was a couple of stunning comebacks away from five Super Bowl rings. In addition to the Super Bowl against the Giants, one year earlier the Patriots blew a 21-3 lead in the AFC TItle Game and lost to the Colts 38-34. Peyton Manning finally got his ring.
Tom Brady will be a Hall of Famer on the first ballot. Yet the way Tom Brady feels about Tim Tebow is how I feel about Tom Brady.
Drop the chip from your shoulder. There is no reason for it to be there. You are rich, successful, and handsome. Now shut up. Go away. Enough already.
Hopefully Al Davis will have the last laugh as the Giants defeat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. It will not reverse the Tuck Rule, but it will at least cause the pain not to be enhanced.

We don't need CEPA any longer: Basil Rajapaksa
Basil Rajapaksa
The Hindu | 19 July 2013
Meera Srinivasan
Apparel, IT and automobile sectors offer potential for Indian investment
Sri Lanka will not need the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with India any longer, as both countries had moved on, said Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa.
According to him, the Sri Lankan business community felt it did not need CEPA as they had found good markets. In any case, he said, India did not make things easy for Sri Lanka, as, on the one hand, while it seemed like India was opening up its market, there were new barriers [non-tariff], on the other.
Though CEPA has been in the works since 2005, several attempts to arrive at a consensus only proved futile. Negotiations began after a joint study group set up to explore ways of expanding bilateral trade relations and means for greater flow of investment between the two countries made its recommendations in 2003. Even after 13 rounds of negotiations until 2008, both countries could not come to an agreement. And now, the minister said Colombo felt both countries had moved on.
Suggesting that an open market offered the best alternative, Mr. Rajapaksa said: "Those days, it was a restricted economy, so we needed a special bilateral agreement."
Indian businessmen, he said, were making a mark all over the world, and in Sri Lanka, too. "They are taking over fortune 500 companies, and that means Indian businesses are growing so much. They don't need any special protection now." Similarly, Sri Lankan businessmen had also made their way into the Indian market, he said, adding there was a free flow of goods.
Dismissing the need for any broad framework for bilateral trade, Mr. Rajapaksa said Indian businessmen anyway got special concessions and tax incentives from the Board of Investment (BOI), Sri Lanka.
Hinting at CEPA now being perceived as irrelevant, he said, politicians and diplomats were clinging on to CEPA only for the sake of "its image". All the same, trade relations between India and Sri Lanka, the minister said, were "very good" at present, with bilateral trade "rapidly increasing".
He said that from a distance it might seem like the balance was tilted in India's favour, but as Economic Development Minister he did not think it was a negative factor.
"Our biggest trade partner is India, and in South Asia Sri Lanka is the biggest for India. So both ways we have to increase the amount [of trade]."
Apparel, information technology and automobile sectors offered potential for Indian investment, he said. "There is a lot of Indian investment coming into Sri Lanka," he said, pointing to an Indian CEO forum that had been formed in Sri Lanka.
"I was surprised to see so many members. That means there are big numbers to even form a CEO forum."

IBJJF DOUBLE GOLD!
Abrie Kilian (Black) victorious at the 2022 Toronto International Open IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship.
TORONTO – Saturday (17 September 2022) saw the prestigious IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu tournament return to Canada, since its absence from Canada in 2018. Abrie Kilian, Program Director at Kilian Academy, represented both Kilian Academy and Grey-Bruce county at this year's tournament.
Forty-Two-year-old Abrie Kilian, and Sauble resident, competed in the Masters 3 (40 years and older) Medium Heavy Weight Division and was awarded a default gold after his sole opponent withdrew from the tournament. Kilian qualified for the Open Class Division; a division available to all medalists in the age category with no weight limit. Kilian was able to secure gold and crowned champion. "A default medal is always a disappointment, especially after you have put in a lot of hard work to compete. However, I am grateful that the medal granted me the opportunity to compete in the Open Class division and at least earn my second medal."
Fresh from his victory a week ago at the 2022 GTA Classic, athletes at Kilian Academy are getting ready to compete at the Abu Dhabi Jiu-Jitsu Pro Tour, which will take place in Niagara on the 15th of October. The AJP Tour is one of the premier tournaments in Canada with gold medalists considered Canadian Champions. Kilian Academy athletes are looking forward to representing Grey-Bruce County at this year's AJP Tour in Niagara.
"Sean and Alec Wildeboer, athletes at Kilian Academy, were crowned champions in the adult white belt division last year. Their performance has inspired the Academy and our community to add to the list of Canadian Champions. We hope that our community will rally behind our athletes to recognize Grey Bruce as serious contenders in the BJJ annual tournament circuit."

You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra - which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
My aim in this sermon is to honor motherhood and in this way glorify Jesus Christ who designed it, created it, and blessed it by his incarnation in Mary's womb and by his words from the cross to John, in one of the most beautiful acts of final care for Mary: "[John], Behold your mother" (John 19:27).
What I want to honor in this message is the biblical calling on a woman's life to weave a fabric of family life out of commitment to a husband and his calling, and commitment to her children and their training, and commitment to Christ and his glory. In other words, I want to honor the biblical calling that makes marriage, motherhood, and home-management, in the context of radical Christian discipleship, the central, core, dominant commitments of a woman's life.
There are millions of single women, and many will stay single. There is a grace from God for that—a very special grace and for some even a calling. There are women who are single mothers and the marriage element in the calling I just described is painfully missing. Jesus Christ has a grace for that. There are women who are married and cannot, or, with their husbands, choose not, to have children. Jesus has a grace for that.
And there are mothers who weave together their mothering and their marriage and home management with part-time or full-time employment outside the home—some because they may have to (like single moms), others because they see it as part of their calling and have found creative ways to interlace schedules so as not to compromise their core commitments at home, and others, sadly, because they don't have core commitments to supporting the husband's calling, and pouring their lives into their children, and managing a home for the glory of Christ. They've simply absorbed the values of the world from television, media, friends with no biblical framework.
May aim is not to address all of those circumstances. My aim to encourage the women—and there are millions of you—who believe that God's call on your life is marriage, the joyful support of a husband and his calling as you display what the relationship between Christ and the church looks like, and motherhood, the transmission of a God-centered, Christ-treasuring vision of life to your children, and home-management, the creation of a beautiful and simple place and a living organism called a home which becomes, not only for the family, but also for the community a refuge of Christ's peace and launching pad for God's righteousness.
Those of you women who feel this calling are the ones I want to encourage with this message, and your role is the one I want to honor especially today, because you are probably not going to get the encouragement or the honor from the secular world. They don't know what I am talking about. Marriage is a parable of Christ and his church? Motherhood as the life on life transmission of a God-centered, Christ-treasuring worldview? Home management as the creation of a living organism that nurtures the peace of Christ and the righteousness of God? The world does not understand these things.
This is a very high and holy and crucial calling that many of you embrace, with little understanding or encouragement from the world. You are the ones who have heard Titus 2:4-5 not as oppressive but as liberating. Paul said to Titus that the older women should "train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled." You have heard that calling as rich and deep and precious and high and holy and confirming your heart's longings, and as absolutely essential for the shaping of a God-centered, Christ-exalting church and culture.
To you I direct this message as a word of honor and encouragement. And to do that I want to spend part of my time in 1 Timothy 3 and part of my time, by way of illustrating the scripture, paying tribute to my own mother who lived out this calling so faithfully.
But as for you [Timothy], continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it [mark those words] 15 and how from childhood [this signals to us who it was that taught him these things] you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
1. From Whom Did Timothy Learn the Word?
I want you to see two things. First, who is Paul talking about in verse 14 when he says, ". . . knowing from whom you leaned it"? He is talking about Eunice and Lois, Timothy's mother and grandmother. There are three clues that lead us to this conclusion. First, Paul refers (in v. 15) to this learning as happening "from childhood." Second, we see in 2 Timothy 1:5 these words, "I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well." So Paul has already connected Timothy's faith with what he got from his mother and grandmother.
The third clue is the answer to the question why Paul did not refer to Timothy's father. The answer is found in Acts 16:1 where Luke tells us about how Paul chose Timothy in the first place as missionary partner. "Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek." So Timothy is the product of a home with a believing mother and an unbelieving father. That's why Paul did not say that Timothy learned the scriptures from his father. He didn't. His father didn't believe them. But his mother and grandmother did. That is who Paul is referring to in 2 Timothy 3:14.
In other words, Timothy, one of the ways—not the only way—one of the ways to strengthen your faith and persevere through hard times and not give up on the scriptures is to remember who introduced you to word of God and the way of salvation. Remember your mother, and your grandmother.
So let's make very clear: the apostle of Jesus Christ in this text bestows on motherhood and grandmotherhood a great honor. You have a calling that can become the long-remembered ground of faith, not just for your children—mark this—but for the untold numbers who will be affected by your children. And that's in addition to all the other thousands of ripple effects of faith in your life.
Now I turn to illustrate this honor by paying tribute to my mother, Ruth Piper. I have two documents. One that I wrote about my mother and one that my father wrote, both of them written thirty years ago. I'll read some quotes from my memories to illustrate some of mother's virtues and commitments as she lived out this calling of wife and mother and home-manager.
she never let on it wasn't life and death.
she kept on quotin' Proverbs in her salutations.
Fear God and keep your heart warm.
but mama could—and then how she would laugh!
guffaw till their tears wet the table cloth.
and her tanned neck would redden as the tendons flinched.
and I never felt better than when mama laughed.
and mama wept like I'd shot somebody.
and made me pay it off right then and there.
I mattered a lot to mama.
What I owe my mother for my soul and my love to Christ and my role as a husband and father and pastor is incalculable.
Now I close by reading my father's tribute. Keep in mind my purpose—to honor and to encourage women who embrace the biblical calling of marriage, motherhood, and home management for Christ and his kingdom. I see what I am doing here in the same genre as Proverbs 31. I am celebrating a beautiful God-designed calling with the life of one woman who lived it.
She was a priceless gem, rarer by far than sapphire, ruby or diamond. Her radiance depended not on some earthly or external beam. Her glow was from within, shining from genuineness of character and purity of soul.
The dancing sparkle of her life resulted not from material stimuli. It came from a heart that gave and gave and gave again with never a thought of receiving. It reflected a life that loved and loved until there was just no more love.
Her beauty was that of expanded unselfishness. Her whole life was others, her loved ones, her friends, her neighbors and her church. She knew no resting place. The needs were endless and her devotion always equaled the demands. Deep weariness of mind and body never deterred her.
The enormous wealth of her character showed most in her unstinting kindness. All who knew her felt it, witnessed it, experienced and believed in it. Everyone coming within the warm glow of her influence was cheered, encouraged, lifted and blessed.
Her glory sprang from a love of life. Her activities never ceased and her energy seemed boundless. Her spontaneous laughter and contagious smile delighted all who met her. She enjoyed being alive and her life had beauty and purpose.
She epitomized the virtuous woman. She was clothed with strength and honor. My heart safely trusted in her. She looked well to the affairs of her household. She burned the midnight oil. Her hands were never idle. Her mouth was full of wisdom and on her tongue was the law of kindness. Her children have risen to praise her.
She was modest, almost to a fault. Always the lady. Always the queen. She carried herself with poise and great dignity without pomp, piety or ceremony. Modern trends in styles were ignored if they offended her sensitivities or violated her convictions. She never sought praise or popularity, contented always to serve in a spirit of congeniality and selflessness.
She was the practical woman. Never lavish. Never wasteful. I was the dreamer. She shunned the unnecessary and the excessive. Satisfied with simple things, she avoided that which was foolish and vain. Sound judgments preceded her decisions. Never one to parade, she abstained from the superficial, pretentious, needless and impractical.
Above all was the totality of her dedication. Devoted to her husband, her family, her friends and her church, she was supremely committed to her Lord. Her faith in Christ never wavered. Having trusted him as a child, she loved him more with every passing year. Her convictions held firm in the face of a changing world. The variances of life's vicissitudes never altered her course. She remained steadfast, immovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord. She was a rock. She was found faithful. She walked with God and God loved her and took her. She now rests with him whom she loved and served.
The light from her devotion and the aroma from her character lives on to bless perpetually the lives of all who loved her. Her testimony will not be lost. Her commitment to Christ has not been in vain. Her husband, her children and all her descendents will rise to call her blessed.
This sermon is a fulfillment of that prophecy, and, I pray, is an honor and an encouragement to all of you women who embrace the biblical calling of marriage, the joyful support of a husband and his calling as you display the relationship between Christ and the church, and motherhood, the transmission of a God-centered, Christ-treasuring vision of life to your children, and home-management, the creation of a beautiful and simple place and living organism which becomes a refuge of Christ's peace and launching pad for God's righteousness.


A tendon is a band of connective tissue that anchors muscle to bone. The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body. It attaches the calf muscles to the heel bone (calcaneus) and is very important because it lets you lift your heel when you start to walk. It also helps you to walk, run or stand on tiptoe. Achilles tendonitis is inflammation of the Achilles tendon. In most cases, it is a type of overuse injury and is more common in younger people. Professional and weekend athletes can suffer from Achilles tendonitis, but it is also a common overuse injury in people not involved in sport. Treatment includes rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), physical therapy and avoiding activities that aggravate the condition.
Achilles tendonitis is a common sports injury caused by repeated or intense strain on the tendon. But non-athletes also can get it if they put a lot of stress on their feet. Other things that contribute to Achilles tendonitis include. An increase in activity. Starting a training program after a period of inactivity or adding miles or hills to a jogging regimen are two examples of things that put people at risk for Achilles tendonitis. Sports that require sudden starts and stops; for example, tennis and basketball. A change in footwear, or wearing old or badly fitting shoes. New shoes, worn-out shoes, or the wrong size shoes can cause a person's feet to overcompensate and put stress on the Achilles tendon. Additionally, wearing high heels all the time can cause the tendon and calf muscles to get shorter, and the switch to flat shoes and exercise can put extra strain on the heel. Running up hills. Going uphill forces the Achilles tendon to stretch beyond its normal range. Weak calf muscles, flat arches, "overpronation" (feet that roll in when running), or "oversupination" (feet that roll out when running). Overpronation and oversupination make the lower leg rotate and put a twisting stress on the tendon. Exercising without warming up. Tight calf muscles or muscles that lack flexibility decrease a person's range of motion and put an extra strain on the tendon. Running or exercising on a hard or uneven surface or doing lunges or plyometrics without adequate training. A traumatic injury to the Achilles tendon.


The first office building of Philip Morris was realized in 1995, inside Maya Akar Center. This project included the design and implementation of the office space distributed across four stories and 5,000 square meters.
Toner once again took the responsibility of the concept design and the supervision of the new office complex with three buildings and 11,000 square meters of space to relocate Philip Morris to Kısıklı in 2002. Toner created a contemporary office by designing a space that conforms to American standards in its dimensional characteristics, functionality, infrastructure and security systems.


Love is a Dog From Hell is generally considered to be one of the strongest Charles Bukowski books of poetry. The Bukowski poems inside it were written in the early to mid seventies when he had begun his rise to fame and he was receiving more attention from the female gender (see my article: The Wives and Girlfriends of Charles Bukowski). I think it is fair to say therefore that some of the poems are almost a poetic version of the Bukowski novel: Women.
Love is a Dog from Hell is split into 4 parts and poems it contains are in the classic Charles Bukowski style of direct, prose poems. Although his approach can sometimes seem brutal, Bukowski is a writer of experience and hidden subtlety and is capable of writing poems of poignancy, as well as wit and raw emotional intensity. His poem dedicated to his ex-girlfriend, for instance, "One for old snaggletooth" is rather touching: "she has hurt fewer people/than anyone I know,/and if you look at it like that,/well,/she has created a better world/she has won."
As I mentioned earlier, this Charles Bukowski book is of particularly interest to people who want insights into his attitudes towards women, as many of the poems take his relationships as subject matter. Bukowski has been accused at various times of being a woman hater (see my article: Was Charles Bukowski a Misogynist?) and in these poems we see his full range of attitudes and musings, from poignancy and sentimentality, to cruelty and lust.
One of the most interesting poems in the Bukowski book is "An unkind poem" which takes a shot at poets and the poetry scene which begins with the lines: The go on writing/ pumping out poems --/ young boys and college professors/ wives who drink wine all afternoon/ while their husbands work,/ they go on writing/ the same names in the same magazines/ everybody writing a little worse each year.
The book is a definite must have for any fans of Charles Bukowski poems and is one of his strongest collections of his works. Is it the best Bukoswki book of poems? No, not in my opinon. The Last Night of the Earth Poems , written close to the end of his life, is my favorite and the collection of early work, Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame is also great. Love is a Dog from Hell is probably the best Bukowski book of poems from his mid period, however and I would definitely consider buying it if you don't already own a copy.
Let's not forget the movie of that same name. Also Classic.
Some great quotes from a great man!

AS NEW energy and environmental directives come into action, the UK sewage treatment industry is increasingly under the spotlights.
Many examples of renewable energy projects by the gigantic water firms and their framework partners are reported to be on their way which will be almost guaranteed to draw much interest from politicians, rivals and the public. Combined heat and power (CHP) is at the forefront in the UK Water Industry, manufacturing heat and electricity from a single input source that might otherwise be burned off as waste.
Severn Trent Water and May Gurney completed an intensive project to install new anaerobic digestion technology on 3 of Severn Trent's sites. The water company has been working in cooperation with contractor May Gurney, a consultant in biogas optimisation, which has been carrying out these works since 2007.
Last summer when the article was writted it was getting near completion on the last site located at Coalport, Shropshire. The other 2 sites, at Newtown ( Powys ) and Monkmoor, Shrewsbury ( Shropshire ), were handed back this summer and are manufacturing biogas from their improved digester systems and using it to fuel CHP units.
The work at Newtown, Monkmoor and Coalport has enabled the sites to scale back their carbon footprints and produce green energy. Doing so will also prove very much a bargain as Severn Trent will become more self-sufficient and save heavily on external energy suppliers' ever growing costs.
At Coalport alone, the median daily sludge feed to the digesters is 129m3, which produces a mean of 2,640m3 of biogas each day - enough to power the on-site CHP units that generate electricity to run the site as well as the heat to operate the boilers and continue the digestion process.
The authors of the article see a huge future for biogas.
"This latter opportunity will definitely not have escaped the notice of water firms. While sites with anaerobic digestion processes already benefit from self-sufficiency by manufacturing their own energy, we need only look to states like Sweden to see examples of how extra revenue can be generated by selling electricity and bio-methane and at the same time make a contribution to govt. climate change, waste management and wider environmental objectives."
In the field of renewable resources the authors say that Severn Trent is sure to be at the forefront as the industry moves in this direction. As the number 1 producer of renewable energy in the water sector, Severn Trent is progressing with its investment programme to further develop greener energy.
Having set itself the target of just about doubling self-generation from renewable resources to thirty percent of its total energy use by 2013, Severn Trent has clear plans to develop usage of existing technologies as well as introduce new and emerging technologies.
Severn Trent operates thirty CHP plants across its area using methane gas produced from the sewage treatment process. In 2005, this accounted for 51 percent of all clean energy derived from sewage gas in the United Kingdom and about 1.3% of all clean energy generated in the United Kingdom.
Current investment plans are reported to include schemes to increase the use of CHP plants across the region, install more water turbines in its dams, generate power from energy crops, and generate power from turbines at acceptable locations.
Furthemore, that investment is reported to be ongoing as a consequence of the success of the Monkmoor, Newtown and Coalport projects, the company has, we undertand, been in advanced talks with May Gurney about another 9 CHP projects.
The following article is based on an extract of Wet News (November 2008 issue)the original article is about work done by May Gurney to refurbish and improve the current Severn Trent Coalport, anaerobic digester which digests sewage sludge.
I was particularly interested in the information about the biogas gas holder, which they also call a gas-bag due to its flexible construction. We are told that, the installation of a new, larger gas bag will add to efficiency of the site.
The new spherical gas holders are the most immediate visible sign of the state of the art solutions that have been implemented at the Severn Trent sites. These are golfing ball white spheres which are created from 2 polyester and PVC-based skins, the outer being inflated by air pressure and holds up the structure. The inner skin is postponed inside he outer skin and contains the biogas.
The wonderful thing about these new biogas holders is that they are made from materials which are immune to the corrosive nature of the unscrubbed biogas, which with its hydrogen sulphide content produces feeble sulphuric acid on contact with the water in the saturated gas. This would simply severely damage an unprotected steel container.
The writer informs us that there are apparent savings from a gas holder bag compared against a traditional rigid gas holder. A traditional steel gas holder also needs a significant civil structure which is full of water and contains what amounts to a steel bell, while a gas bag simply sits on a concrete base. The bag also needs less upkeep and isn't subject to freezing in winter. This produces a far smaller carbon footprint and a reduction in capital and operational spend.
The new gas holders are also in truth crucial pieces of process plant, instead of the mere storage vessels their name advocates. They maintain a consistent system pressure needed for the proper operation of engines, boilers and waste gas flare stacks. They also have level instruments that measure the height and volume of the inner gas bag to provide signals for process control, so they have to be simple, trustworthy and tough.
We are also told that further efficiencies and economies have been driven into the Severn Trent project thanks to the proven fact that May Gurney handled the complete design process in-house, from taking the outline design produced by Severn Trent's framework designer, thru to completion. While many main contractors might outsource the design part of such projects to an external consultant, May Gurney has its own expert team, so both reducing cost - making economies of scale and avoiding passing on fee-on-fee margins to the customer - and also reducing risk thanks to better control of safety in design risk assessments. Derek Shepherd is May Gurney's design chief, who is in charge of design coordination.
He explains the benefits of the full service approach : "By taking more control for Design Management upon themselves, and not passing it to a third party, they are hey believe particularly assured of coverage in all sides of the projects.
There's less risk, Derek points out, and by not having to confirm someone else's design we also save time without doubling up effort." Better still, the in-house design team have made a contribution to better environmental performance.
Derek Shepherd believes that, by having an independent and unbiased designer, they managed to identify all products, materials and providers based on performance and an overall design approach to the system. This was instead of it being based on any existing commercial relations.
Biomethane: which are best practices in Europe?
From the collection of relevant feedstocks to end-uses of biomethane, what can be learnt from the main European experiences? Pierre Hirtzberger, project coordinator of BIOGASMAX, will provide responses at the European Conference on Biomethane Fuel, 7th-9th of September in Göteborg. Come and join this major event on biomethane fuel!
The European Institute for Energy Research (EIFER), based in Karlsruhe, has entered in the « Biogasmax Circle of Friends ».
EIFER presented, 16th of June, to BIOGASMAX partners the legal framework regarding the grid injection of biomethane in Germany. Amongst the 4000 biogas plants running today in Germany, 20 plants inject biomethane into the natural gas grid (plus 20 sites in project).
Brussels, Belgium, 25th May 2009; The European Commission has announced not to raise any objections under the EC Treaty state aid rules to the financial support of the transport sector in France. The French approach particularly supports urban CNG buses and service trucks and also mentions biomethane. The Commission also decided positively on the Czech state aid request which supports projects for constructing and upgrading alternative refuelling stations for public transport operators.
The official decision by the Commission to authorize the French state aid programme was already made on 17th December 2008 (see attachment), but the original wording of the Commission's approval was not published until 25th May. Starting 1st January 2009, henceforward, the French state is able to financially support the French transport sector until end of December 2014.
I am frequently being asked to include more information in the blog and at the web site (www.anaerobic-digestion.com) about financing and contracting routes for the larger waste feedstock Anaerobic Digestion Plants. So here is some guidance based the Defra WIP compiled programme information a few years back.
for example National Non-Domestic Rate payments (distributed by central government), credit (borrowing) approvals, local tax raising powers (council tax), income from rents, fees, charges and asset sales (capital receipts). In practice there will be limited opportunity to take advantage of these.
23 - 26 September 2009, starting in Berlin and ending in the area of Cologne, Germany Participants will visit biogas plants and manufacturers in Germany.
We offer special rates for booking both events. The number of participants is limited - therefore we recommend an early registration.
For more details please follow the links above or visit our homepage www.biogas-centre.com and don't hesitate to contact us, if you have any further questions.
The Public sector has been urged to generate renewable energy to cut costs and emissions.
The Environment Agency and Partnerships for Renewables today urged public sector organisations in the UK to consider using their land and property to generate renewable energy, which has the potential to provide power for over 1.5 million households.
In the midst of the recent focus on economic and political crises, the two organisations are using World Environment Day (5 June) to encourage the public sector to tackle the impending crisis of climate change and set an example to others by taking positive action.
The organisations have calculated that public sector organisations in the UK could generate up to some 3 gigawatts of power - enough to power all the households in Newcastle, Birmingham, Sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool and Doncaster combined and save 3m tonnes of carbon dioxide per year - by installing renewable energy technologies such as wind turbines and hydropower schemes on their land.
The Environment Agency is urging other public sector bodies to follow its example after its announcement in November 2008 to build up to 80 wind turbines on Environment Agency owned land across the country, developing around 200 megawatts of renewable energy capacity - enough to power 90,000 households and save around 200,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. In addition the turbines will generate up to £2.4 million of revenue every year - money that will be ploughed back into protecting and improving the environment, and adapting to climate change. Other organisations such as British Waterways have also announced similar plans.
The Environment Agency recently ranked as the top green UK public sector organisation in the annual Sunday Times Green List. 99 per cent of electricity used by the Environment Agency is from renewable sources and stringent targets are in place for reducing energy and water. Recycling facilities are available in the offices covering 20 different types of waste. The organisation's green travel policies have led to a mileage reduction of some 8.9 million miles over the past two years alone and in three years, the Environment Agency has managed to reduce its overall carbon footprint by 14 per cent and water use by ten per cent.
"Investment in green technology such as wind turbines not only help cut carbon emissions and secure more home grown energy - they also make financial sense to those involved and ultimately save the taxpayer money.
"The pressures businesses and the public sector are facing may tempt them to cut corners and spend less attention on environmental improvement programmes, but it is now more important than ever before that we look to alternative sources of energy to meet our demands."
"By embracing and fulfilling its renewable energy potential the UK's public sector has the opportunity to not only demonstrate strong leadership domestically, in the fight against climate change, it has the opportunity to set the standard for public sector organisations to follow globally. The role of the public sector organisations leading this movement, such as the Environment Agency and British Waterways, should not be underestimated".
"The public sector has a key role to play in cutting emissions by harnessing the UK's vast renewable energy potential. Developing green energy could create tens of thousands of new jobs, reduce our dependency of the tyranny of fossil fuels and give this country real influence in the global battle against climate change".
The vehicle for achieving this investment is Partnerships for Renewables which was set up by Carbon Trust Enterprises in 2006 to work in partnership with the public sector to develop, construct and operate renewable energy projects. By providing a one stop shop for the development of renewable energy projects focused on a project development process tailored to the specific needs of the public sector, Partnerships for Renewables provide a way for Public Sector Bodies to access the economic and environmental benefits associated with renewable energy and contribute towards the fight against climate change without diverting public sector resources away from frontline services.
The Scottish Waste and Resources Conference will host the annual 2 day conference, exhibition and awards dinner on 6th and 7th October 2009.
As the title suggests, the partnership event is not exclusive to those working in the waste management industry. At this crucial time in our future development we must engage with the wider resources management sectors.
The conference programme for 2009 features the overall theme of Delivering Zero Waste in Scotland which will provide a pick and mix choice of sessions on key policy updates, new innovations and hearty debate amongst practical participative sessions.
Alongside the conference there is an indoor exhibition which will allow you to meet and discuss your requirements with waste/reprocessing companies and suppliers, providing the ideal networking opportunity.
The Scottish Waste & Resources Awards Dinner, sponsored by Ascot Environmental Ltd and Scotgen (Dumfries) Ltd, will take place on the last evening of the event, 7th October. The purpose of the Scottish Waste and Resources Awards is to acknowledge, reward and celebrate those organisations that have shown an outstanding contribution, through best practice and innovation, to the Scottish waste, recycling and resource management sectors. The 2008 dinner was attended by over 400 people including leading figures from local authorities, private sector organisations, professional bodies and regulators from across Scotland. Nominations for the awards are now open and application forms can be completed online at www.scotwaste.org.
Whether you have been before or not, the Scottish Waste & Resources Conference 2009 promises to be an event not to be missed and a one-stop shop for you, your organisation and your colleagues and one that will keep you ahead of the critical factors influencing our industry.
For priority information on the conference programme or more details on sponsorship opportunities, exhibition of the awards dinner then please contact the Operations Team on (01604) 620426 or email events@ciwm.co.uk .

Xergi - The Biogas Plant Contractor, contacted me recently to announce their new web site. I like the site a great deal, and in particular I recommend their downloadable Life Cycle Assessment report which looks at the relative whole life environmental benefits of different Anaerobic Digestion feed stocks.
Please note that the Life Cycle Assessment is being reviewed. The final Assessment will be issued after completion of review, we are told.
However, the report is published in its 2nd draft, dated June 21st 2007. The authors are Kathrine Anker Thyø and Henrik Wenzel of the German Institute for Product Development.
An extract from the summary follows, but there are a lot of data and other information in this free report, making it worth a visit to their web site at the link below, for anyone seeking to decide which are the greenest options for AD plant projects.
Biogas based on manure is not an alternative strongly correlated to the other bioenergy scenarios, because it does not include any utilization of agricultural land. However, since it provides the same services to society as the other scenarios, it still compares to them and should b included in the overall prioritisation of which type of bioenergy technology society should promote with subsidies and other incentives.
The conclusion of this comparison is unambiguous: biogas from manure implies by far the highest reduction of greenhouse gas emissions per unit of services provided to society. This being due to the fact that it implies CO2 reductions not only from the fossil fuel replacement by the generated biogas, but equally significantly from the reduce methane emissions from manure storage, reduced nitrous oxide emissions from soil application of the manure and improved plant availability of the nitrogen in the manure.
- Biogas from manure stands out as having much higher reduction in greenhouse gas emissions than the other bioenergy types and equal savings in fossil fuels. As cost aspects point to the same direction, manure based biogas should have the highest priority of all the compared bioenergy types.
The other scenarios are strongly correlated by their competition for the same agricultural land. Based on the comparative approach, the LCA shows that environmentally and in terms of fossil fuel savings, energy crops should be prioritised for heat and power purposes either 1) through a preceding biogas generation or 2) by direct incineration or gasification, these pathways leading to almost equal CO2 reductions and fossil fuel savings. Energy crops converted directly into a transport fuel implies significantly lower CO2 reductions due to the energy losses in the conversion processes.
Among the compared types of bioenergy requiring agricultural land and energy crops, biogas from maize silage and heat and power from willow imply the highest reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and the highest fossil fuel savings, environmentally and in terms of fossil fuel savings.

Top Ten Reasons Why West Hollywood Is The Destination For Recovery
By Patrick O'Neil, Group Facilitator
When you think of Southern California do you immediately think recovery? Well you should, because the Huffington Post listed Los Angeles as one of the top ten American cities that make getting sober easier. The criterion that put L.A. at the top of the list is the extensive recovery services offered including drug treatment centers, sober living facilities, and an abundance of 12 step meetings. If one were to take that listing even further to include the neighborhoods and districts that make up the greater Los Angeles area then West Hollywood would not only be ahead of the pack, but a crucial element within the SoCal recovery landscape.
Commonly referred to as WeHo, West Hollywood is its own city within Los Angeles. Bordered by the Miracle Mile neighborhood to the South, Beverly Hills to the West, Hollywood Hills to the North, and Hollywood itself on the East. With a population just over 37,000 WeHo feels like the tightknit community that it is. However, with the Sunset Strip and Santa Monica Boulevard's ever-growing nightlife, restaurants, and hotels the weekends can see the population expand to 80,000, and with such iconic events as Halloween or the Pride Parade crowds of 100,000 to 500,000 are not unusual. One would think with this "party atmosphere" West Hollywood would not be known for its recovery. But that would be a misconception as WeHo is definitely a Destination For Recovery.
Here Are the Top Ten Reasons Why:
1. Treatment Centers: If you're looking for a city that can deliver on rehabs then West Hollywood is your answer. According to the U.S. Department of Mental Health's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration there are 41 recovery centers that provided substance abuse treatment and mental health services within WeHo's seemingly tiny 1.8 square mile radius. Per capita that would make WeHo the densest ratio of rehab to residents in the entire Los Angeles area.
West Hollywood Recovery Center
2. Meetings: Do meetings make a difference? Former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy was quoted as saying, "Well-supported scientific evidence demonstrates the effectiveness of twelve-step groups." Whether it's Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, Crystal Meth Anonymous, Marijuana Anonymous, or Overeaters Anonymous (just to name a few), West Hollywood is home to over 150 of these meetings per week. So to say WeHo is 12 Step friendly would be an understatement.
3. Spirituality: Are you searching for a sense of connection to something greater than yourself that not only inspires you, but also promotes harmony with the universe? What you're no doubt looking for is "spirituality". In West Hollywood there is an abundance of opportunity to find the right guidance to help connect you with your own inner peace and serenity. Spirituality can be found following a religious faith or through inner personal connections, such as engaging in mindfulness activities like yoga and meditation. WeHo has a multitude of faiths, churches, temples, meditation and wellness centers, and over 50 yoga studios that offer various approaches to help you discover your own spiritual path.
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
4. Health: An integral part of recovery is addressing mental and personal health issues. There are numerous hospitals and medical centers in or near West Hollywood, including the world-renowned Cedars Sinai Medical Center, and the UCLA Medical Center. Psychology Today lists close to 300 licensed therapists, psychologists, and counselors in West Hollywood, and the list of "Alternative Medicine" practitioners is just as long. For physical health there are well over a hundred fitness clubs, gyms, yoga studios, and just as many personal trainers available to assist you in whatever level of comprehensive fitness program you desire.
5. Diversity: West Hollywood is a diverse multi ethnic, cultural, and racial city. It is not unusual to hear Slavic languages spoken along side English and Spanish. 45% percent of the population identifies as LGBTQ and 65% of the adults have a college or graduate degree. The overwhelming majority of the workforce is employed in white-collar jobs and there are more artists, designers and people working in media than anywhere else. This diverse concentration of occupations and ethnicity helps shape West Hollywood's character into a distinct community that not only embraces individual differences and uniqueness, but celebrates them.
6. Housing: Think palm trees and swimming pools because West Hollywood is home to an unprecedented number of fine hotels and motels, all of which cater to your every lodging needs. WeHo also boasts an abundance of sober living, transitional living, and sober roommate opportunities. Online share-rental companies list hundreds of rooms, apartments, and houses for short and long term rental agreements. For more permanent options there are numerous rental companies that can help you land that amazing WeHo apartment.
West Hollywood Park
7. Fun: There is no reason not to have fun in recovery. In fact, why be in recovery if you can't have fun? West Hollywood is a party town and that party includes sobriety. Every New Year's Eve there's a city sponsored Alcohol/Drug-free celebration. During Pride and Halloween there are accompanying sober events. The restaurants are legendary. Sunbathing at the ocean beaches or hikes in the canyons of Hollywood are minutes away. For cultural events there's the West Hollywood Book Fair and the Pacific Design Center. At last but not least, the shopping is phenomenal. From the numerous stores in the Beverly Center to the glamour of Sunset Plaza and Rodeo Drive, the cutting edge designer clothes are everywhere.
8. Safety: Personal safety is always a top priority and West Hollywood ranks high as a safe area in Los Angeles County. The Los Angles Sheriff's Department polices WeHo and according to their statistics crime is down, assuring visitors a secure and welcoming environment. The main boulevards are well lit. The near constant foot traffic in the business areas helps pedestrians stay safe. The city employs "Security Ambassadors" on bicycles that patrol the neighborhoods. Their constant vigilance keeps the residents safe and crime down.
9. Transportation: Need to get around and have concerns about transportation in a new city? Well, there's no need to worry as West Hollywood has an abundance of transportation options. Town cars, taxis and ride share services ply the streets and are on call 24 hours a day. Cityline shuttle services the Santa Monica Corridor and connects with the Metro Red Line in Hollywood. Five Los Angeles Metro bus lines transect the city allowing for connections across the greater Los Angeles Area. WeHo has it's own bike share company and you can find racks of rental bikes throughout the city. If you're driving a personal vehicle, the majority of WeHo's streets are regulated with residential parking permits. Be sure to check if your neighborhood requires a permit, as temporary Visitor Parking Permits are available free of charge.
10. Weather: Are gray skies and bad weather getting you down? Seasonal depression is real and nothing helps more than sunshine and getting exercise outdoors. Southern California's weather is legendary and WeHo's weather is no exception. The summers are warm and the winters are cool and partly cloudy. The temperature averages from 48° to 82° and rarely gets below 42° or above 90°. The last thing you want to worry about is bad weather. Staying in West Hollywood allows you to focus on your recovery, not digging snow out of the driveway or slogging through puddles of rain.

Snowball Ban Overturned In Colorado Town After Request From 9-Year-Old Boy
Published December 4, 2018 at 3:10 PM CST
A boy's quest to throw snowballs legally in his town ended in victory on Monday, when trustees of Severance, Colo., agreed with a request from Dane Best, 9, to overturn a long-held ban on snowball fights. Best won the town board over with cold logic.
"Today's kids need reasons to play outside," Best said, according to member station Colorado Public Radio. "Research suggests that a lack of exposure to the outdoors can lead to obesity, ADHD, anxiety and depression."
Speaking in front of a crowd of residents and media, Best told town trustees that because of the nearly 100-year-old ban, which classified snowballs as a type of missile, he couldn't throw a snowball without worrying about breaking the law, or getting into trouble.
To celebrate the board gives Dane his first LEGAL snowball to throw. Plus one for his little brother who is apparently Dane's first target. pic.twitter.com/1ePrg0wykq
— Xandra McMahon (@xanmcmahon) December 4, 2018
As he made his case, Best gave "a description of snowball fights (similar to dodgeball)," according to CPR's Xandra McMahon, who posted a series of tweets from the meeting.
"I feel like half of this attendance is made up of kids," McMahon wrote. "That's a lot of 9-year-olds passionate about throwing snowballs."
Best took up the cause when he learned about the law during a field trip to town hall this fall, according to the Greeley Tribune. Kyle Rietkerk, the assistant to the Severance town administrator, told the newspaper that staffers often mention the snowball ban to young visitors.
"All of the kids always get blown away that it's illegal to have snowball fights in Severance," Rietkerk said. "So, what ends up happening is they always encourage the kids with, 'You have the power you can change the law.' No one has."
But Best took aim at the law, enlisting his elementary school classmates to write letters to the board. He and his family also researched laws in Severance, as he prepared for his presentation.
The board had its own questions for the snowball-fight enthusiast. According to the Tribune, Trustee Dennis "Zeke" Kane wondered, "Can we amend this ordinance to say that if you're over 60, no one can throw a snowball at you?"
Best satisfied other, more serious, questions, agreeing with the board that kids should not throw snowballs with rocks in them — and that they should not target windows.
In the end, the trustees voted unanimously to agree with Best and overturn the ban, sparking a celebration in the town board chamber.
Afterward, Mayor Don McLeod met Best and other attendees outside, where he gave the boy the honor of throwing the first legal snowball within town limits. The second throw went to Best's younger brother Dax — whom Dane has identified as his preferred opponent.

King Edward Bay
F. Malkin, his wife, and a small child behind their house at King Edward Bay. J.F. Malkin is sitting on the stump. ca. 1900's
The King Edward Bay property was pre-empted in 1892 by R.G. Gordon who, in 1910, sold it to Fred Malkin, one of the three pioneer Malkin brothers; William Harold, Philip Davey and James Frederic. The three were part of a Staffordshire family that owned the earthenware manufacturing firm of Edge and Malkin, Fred, the most daring of the threesome, had emigrated to Canada and done well so he urged his brothers to join him. They did and established a successful wholesale grocery business in Vancouver.
Fred's piece of property was on Bowen's west coast. Being somewhat of an imperialist, he named his 218 acre acquisition after King Edward VII who had died that year. In 1912, on an impulse, he sold the land to a real estate syndicate which planned to divide the land into hundreds of 30-foot lots. By 1914, the syndicate's grandiose plans hadn't worked out and the land reverted to Fred. In 1918 he decided to use it for himself and build a cottage. He and a friend often came to Bowen for a couple of weeks which they spent blasting stumps and playing chess. He was a familiar figure in business and church circles in Vancouver and on Bowen Island. The other Malkins settled in at Point Cowan. Fred used to walk over to visit the rest of the family.

Around 1924 the Yamadas, a Japanese family, became year-round tenants and caretakers who looked after the family's Bowen home. Fred Malkin two sons and a daughter spent their childhood holidays on Bowen and played with the Yamada children. The children did the usual things that children did by the seaside but the Malkin children had an additional advantage – the narrow gauge railroad. When the powder works moved away from Bowen, they left installations running from Tunstall Bay to Malkins but the tracks were not removed. In addition, there was a "speeder"( a small rail cart used to transport workers). The watchman, Bob Davidson, put a seat on the speeder. He also owned a cow so the Malkin children went on the speeder to get fresh milk every day. They started their adventurous ride from a large concrete structure (which was on Slim Chambers property) and had a downhill ride to Tunstall Bay. However, it was tough job pushing uphill back to the starting point.

The Malkins were devastated when, after twenty years together, the war resulted in the Yamada family being interned and sent to New Denver. More than half of the original 218 acres stayed in the Malkin family until Robert Malkin convinced his friend Alan Jessup to buy 100 acres and a half-mile of waterfront. Not only did the two friends become Bowen neighbours but also Jessup convinced fourteen friends to share this beautiful property. Thus, Arbutus Point Estates was born.

VOL. 132 | NO. 156 | Tuesday, August 8, 2017
Council Reviews New Beale Hotel, U of M Stadium Contract
Memphis City Council members take up a hotel on Beale Street and a new lease with the University of Memphis to use Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium at their Tuesday, Aug. 8, session.
The council votes on the proposed hotel project at 404 Beale St. by KNM Development Group.
The six-story, 101-room hotel would be a Vib brand by Best Western and have an adjacent five-level 103-space parking garage fronting on Gayoso Avenue.
The site is vacant land that is outside the formal boundaries of the Beale Street entertainment district. It is also west of The Commercial Appeal building, which was put up for sale earlier this year.
These shaded areas are parking areas for University of Memphis football home games at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium that are included in a new proposed five-year contract between the city and the university. (City of Memphis)
The council meeting is at 3:30 p.m. at City Hall, 125 N. Main St.
Follow the meeting @tdnpols, www.twitter.com/tdnpols, for live coverage and updates from council committee sessions earlier in the day.
The new Liberty Bowl contract between the university and the city would be a five-year pact through the 2021 football season, with the city getting up to $857,000 in annual revenue from the seven to eight home football games played at the stadium.
The agreement includes the use of parking areas.
The council discusses the proposed contract at an 11:30 a.m. committee session less than a week after the administration of Mayor Jim Strickland announced it is reopening the planning process for redevelopment of the Fairgrounds property.
The university and the two other tenants of the stadium – the Southern Heritage Classic and the AutoZone Liberty Bowl – have said available parking is tight before any further development takes place and should be a factor in any redevelopment plan the city considers.
The proposed contract includes two clauses that address "future development."
The first reads: "City and University acknowledge the possibility of development, upgrades and improvements to the Stadium and the Fairgrounds property during the term of this agreement that may affect the configuration and availability of space in the property. City and University will negotiate the arrangement for the potential use by the University of any new structures or facilities as result of the project development and amend this agreement to document the arrangement."
A later "future development" clause says there may be changes at the Fairgrounds like construction of new attractions that may cause "shifts in the parking area which may affect the number of available parking spaces on the property."
The city agrees to "make every effort" to provide the spaces, but if it doesn't, that is not considered a breach of the contract. The city also would have no liability if the construction has some financial impact on game day box office receipts at the Liberty Bowl.
"City and University acknowledge that development, upgrades and improvements to the Stadium and Fairgrounds property may present parking access and egress challenges, changes in parking availability and game day logistical challenges during the construction period," the contract reads.
Another clause in the contract gives the university "exclusive license to market, sell and retain all revenue" from designated parking areas including Tiger Lane. The city is paid $50,000 per regular season game for that. There is a flat rental rate for the stadium itself of $39,200 per game. The use of 38 suites on the east side of the stadium go for a flat rate of $7,800 per game.
Council members will also discuss Tuesday a change in the city property tax rate approved in June at an 8:45 a.m. committee session.
The $3.27 rate approved in June is technically $3.2715. The amendment the council is considering would extend the calculation of the rate two more decimal places to a lower rate of $3.271481. That is an exact match for the certified rate approved by the state Board of Equalization.
The certified rate is calculated to produce the same amount of revenue for a local government as the previous property tax rate, after the property reappraisal for tax purposes every four years is taken into account.
The ordinance says tax bills have already been prepared using the lower six-decimal place rate.
The ordinance requires three separate readings and is not currently on the council agenda for a first reading Tuesday. But council members could add it to the agenda at Tuesday's executive session.

Adults Charged with Failing to Report Child Sexual Abuse during Ooltewah High School Basketball Incident
Hamilton County District Attorney General Neal Pinkston filed a criminal complaint against three people associated with Ooltewah High School for Failure to Report Child Sexual Abuse of four victims who are players on the Ooltewah High School boys' basketball team.
Juvenile Court Judge Robert Philyaw issued criminal summonses in lieu of arrest for OHS Assistant Principal/Athletic Director Allard J. Nayadley, OHS boys' basketball coach Andre Montgomery, and assistant coach Karl Williams. Under Tennessee's mandatory reporting law, all three are required to report any suspected child sexual abuse to the state Department of Children's Services, the sheriff of the county in which the children reside, the police chief of the municipality in which the children reside, or the juvenile court judge with jurisdiction over the child.
An investigator from the DA's Office and a HCSO detective are working to determine the scope of criminal activity that took place this school year related to assaults committed by older members of the Ooltewah boys' basketball team against freshmen players. Charges against three players have already been filed in Sevier County and additional charges are expected to be filed in Hamilton County.
Additionally, we are investigating allegations of an ingrained culture of violence among the football and basketball teams at OHS reaching back several years. As we interview potential victims who are former OHS players, if the evidence is sufficient to meet the state's legal burden of proof, charges will be filed for those incidents as well.
If anyone has knowledge of any crimes related to this investigation, they should call the Hamilton County District Attorney's Office at 423-209-7400.
General Pinkston filed a motion in Juvenile Court requesting all filings in this case be made public due to the overwhelming public interest in this case. Judge Philyaw approved the motion which means our filings are available at Juvenile Court.
At this time, our office can not release any further information, as prohibited by the Tennessee Supreme Court Rules of Professional Responsibility, Rule 3.8 (Special Duties of Prosecutors) which reads in pertinent part:
(f) except for statements that are necessary to inform the public of the nature and extent of the prosecutor's action and that serve a legitimate law enforcement purpose, shall refrain from making extrajudicial comments that have a substantial likelihood of heightening public condemnation of the accused and exercise reasonable care to prevent employees of the prosecutor's office from making an extrajudicial statement that the prosecutor would be prohibited from making under RPC 3.6 or this Rule; and discourage investigators, law enforcement personnel, and other persons assisting or associated with the prosecutor in a criminal matter from making an extrajudicial statement that the prosecutor would be prohibited from making under RPC 3.6 or this Rule.
In accordance with this rule, General Pinkston has asked the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office to also refrain from public comment.

Murdered federal security guard's sister accuses Meta of helping criminals
Deepak GuptaJanuary 9, 2022
All of us have long been accustomed to the fact that Meta Corporation is very often literally at the epicenter of scandals, one way or another related to the collection, storage, use, leaks, and so on of user data. This time, the aforementioned giant was involved in a "conflict" of a somewhat different nature. More specifically, the surviving sister of Dave Patrick Underwood, a federal security guard killed in a drive-by shooting in 2020, has filed a lawsuit against Meta, Facebook's parent company.
The lawsuit is aimed directly at holding the company accountable for tying two men accused of conspiracy to murder and giving them a place on the network so that they can plan their attack. And if you are not aware of the whole situation, then Dave Patrick Underwood was shot and killed outside the federal building in Oakland, California, in May 2020. The two men accused in this case were later associated with the so-called anti-government movement "boogalu", which Facebook banned on its platform a little later, in June 2020, citing the group's story of "actively promoting violence against civilians. law enforcement agencies, government officials and institutions ".
A woman checks the Facebook Inc. site on her smartphone whilst standing against an illuminated wall bearing the Facebook Inc. logo in this arranged photograph in London, UK, on Wednesday, Dec. 23, 2015. Facebook Inc.s WhatsApp messaging service, with more than 100 million local users, is the most-used app in Brazil, according to an Ibope poll published on Dec. 15. Photographer: Chris Ratcliffe / Bloomberg via Getty Images
Either way, the fresh lawsuit states that: "The shooting was not an accidental act of violence. It was the culmination of an extremist conspiracy invented and orchestrated on Facebook by two men whom Meta helped connect through the Facebook group infrastructure and facilitated their activities through proprietary algorithms designed and designed to increase user engagement and thus Meta's profits. "
It should also be noted that the lawsuit alleges that the two men responsible for the assault would never have met if they had not been helped to find each other by Facebook recommendations, which pushed them both to join groups that "openly advocated violence ". In the meantime, a Meta spokesman has already issued a statement to the authoritative edition of The New York Times, in which it is said that these "claims have no legal basis," and pointed to the work of the company's policy to ban "militarized social movements."
