Obesity and overweight in kids and young people have become a real problem of the modern world. It is estimated that in Canada, the rates of obesity among children have risen drastically during the previous two decades. The following childhood obesity essay represents an attempt to raise public awareness regarding the ever-increasing problem of child obesity. The child obesity essay presented below will try to answer the question of why the public should be concerned about the issues of overweight and obesity in kids and youth. The following paper represents a persuasive essay on childhood obesity as it is aimed at making the world community aware of the ever-growing problem of child obesity. Just like all essays on childhood obesity, current paper will try to analyze the causes and effects of the disease. Like other childhood obesity essays, the following argumentative essay on childhood obesity will provide arguments regarding the on-going tendency of overweight in children and young people. The current essay on childhood obesity will also provide a few recommendations as for how to tackle the problem in an efficient manner. Thus, the current essay about childhood obesity will start from observing the statistics of obesity in children in the United States and Canada.
It is estimated that at the end of the previous century, only 2% of young people up to 17 years of age could be regarded as chronically obese. However, only a decade later, this rate grew to 9% for girls and 10% for boys. This means that one in four children in the United States and Canada suffers from overweight. Why should the public be concerned about obesity and overweight in children? In fact, obesity has a negative impact not only on the appearance of children, but also on their health and overall wellbeing. Obese people are much more likely to suffer from such health problems as elevated blood pressure, increased level of cholesterol and insulin, type 2 diabetes, sleep disorders, as well as kidney and liver problems. The issue of obesity and overweight in children is also associated with a number of psychological problems such as insufficient level of self-esteem and the state of depression. Even though not all overweight children have such health problems, experts in this field often find that obese children tend to suffer from various health conditions. For instance, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in overweight children has rapidly increased. Furthermore, obese kids are more likely to suffer from overweight than adults. Obesity often puts the health of children at a lifelong risk.
What are the causes of child obesity? The causes of obesity in children are diverse and may include environmental and genetic factors that contribute to the development of this disease. In fact, obesity and overweight are complex conditions that might have various interrelated causes. Experts consider that obesity can be explained majorly by the genetics. Specific ethnic groups are considered to be vulnerable to obesity and various related disorders. The studies on this matter have shown that some of the genes in the human body are related to the elevated index of body mass. Nevertheless, the causes of child obesity are not limited to the genetic factors. Thus, over the previous decades, strong environmental impact on children has become evident. It is suggested by some scientists that those people who are vulnerable to overweight are less likely to suffer from starvation and may pass their genes to their kids. Consequently, scientists believe that some of us carry genes that are resistant to famine.
In the modern conditions, environment greatly contributes to overweight in children. The industrial revolution and the invention of cars have caused great changes in the way people live now. If there is a need to travel a long distance, we usually use cars. Likewise, if we are hungry, we may just call or go to the shop in order to get a wide variety of products including fast food that tends to be high in sugar, fat and calories, and at the same time is low in nutrition. Besides, children tend to spend much time in front of the TV set or computer. Not many children nowadays are fond of sports and physical activity. All this leads to the development of eating disorders and consequently results in overweight and obesity. Children are especially vulnerable to the surrounding environment as they do not have an ability to change it. Children do not always have an opportunity to choose what they want to eat, while their parents often disregard the need for physical activity and proper eating habits. That is why it can be assumed that environment plays a considerable role in the development of child obesity.
These simple rules will help to solve the problem of childhood obesity. Families should not blame their children for being obese, but they should rather try to help them become healthier and adopt healthy eating habits. Many families do not always have the resources they need, which includes time, knowledge and money to buy nutritious products and go in for sports on a regular basis. However, even families with high income sometimes have various environmental barriers that prevent them from taking care of their children's health. Nevertheless, it is easier to prevent child obesity than to treat it; hence families should reconsider their way of life in order to help their children overcome the problem of obesity.

Three Dead after Two Vehicle Crash near Ronan
The Montana Highway Patrol has confirmed that three people are dead after a two vehicle head-on crash that occurred early Monday morning on Highway 93 near Ronan.
MHP Trooper Zach Miller explained what happened.
"There was a red Lincoln Town Car headed north at about mile marker 42 and a black Chrysler 300 headed south in the same area," said Miller. "The red Lincoln Town Car hit the guardrail on the right hand side of the road and then entered the southbound lane. The driver attempted to correct back into the northbound lane, overcorrected and both vehicles collided in the center of the roadway."
Miller provided more details about the three persons who were killed in the crash.
"The red Lincoln Town Car had two men in their twenties and the black Chrysler 300 had a female in her mid to late 60's who was a Lake County resident, while the two men in the Lincoln Town Car were from Minnesota," he said. "They were both going at highway speeds, so I can say that speed was a contributing factor, but not the sole factor."
Trooper Miller said he did not suspect that alcohol or drugs played a role in the crash and was unsure if distracted driving, such as texting or phone use played a part in the crash, and he said all three victims were wearing their seat belts.
Miller said the crash occurred four or five miles south of Ronan on Highway 93. The Montana Highway Patrol continues to investigate the fatal crash that occurred just after 7:00 a.m.
Personnel from the Lake County Sheriff's Office participated in the investigation.

19 January, 2018 admin
As part of the UK-French summit held in Sandhurst yesterday (18 January 2018), the UK and French Governments have announced enhanced cooperation between Genomics England and the French 'Médecine Génomique 2025' project.
The Strategic Genomic Medicine Partnership marks a strengthening of the existing relationship between Genomics England and the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm). Formalising the agreement, senior representatives of both organisations signed a letter of intent for a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
The UK and France will combine our shared national attributes by co-funding shared analysis of new technologies to accelerate genomic medicine and research collaboration, ultimately improving the care of patients with cancer and rare diseases.
L-R: Matt Hancock MP, Sir John Chisholm, Yves Levy and Brune Poirson, at the UK-France Summit 2018.
Genomics England Executive Chairman, Sir John Chisholm, said:
"The Strategic Partnership announced today sees two global pioneers combining know-how to realise the full potential of genomic medicine. Genomics England and Inserm will work together more closely than ever before – signalling our joint ambition to lead the world in genomic discovery, develop more effective treatments and drive economic growth in the sector."
Genomics England Chief Scientist, Professor Mark Caulfield, said:
"Today's agreement ensures that the UK and France continue to set the pace in global genomics. Both of our nations are on the verge of introducing genomic medicine into mainstream health services and this enhanced cooperation will allow us to set new and lasting global standards, share learning and, ultimately, deliver the best possible care to our patients."

United's New Partners
United work with local clubs.
Local football clubs now have a new way to support Oxford United and benefit local youth football with the launch of a new season ticket campaign in conjunction with our 14 youth partner clubs.
Partner clubs can earn themselves a proportion of the income from sales by signing up their members for Oxford's 2013-14 campaign. Clubs who sell 10 or more season tickets will keep 10% of the income, those who sell 25 tickets keep 20% and those who sell 50 season tickets earn 30%.
In addition, clubs who sell more than 25 tickets will get their season tickets delivered at their ground by an Oxford United player and the top-selling club will be able to attend an Oxford United training session.
James Peterson, United's Group Ticket Sales Executive said: "We are really excited about this new initiative which puts our partner clubs in the main frame.
"Not only will this contribute to the amount of people coming through the gates, it will also help local clubs push on to reach the biggest percentage back. This is just another step in the right direction of making a difference at community level in Oxford."
Nathan Franks, chairman of our first partner club Abingdon Youth FC, said: "Abingdon Youth are proud to be the first partner club to launch the new season ticket incentive scheme with OUFC. This offers a great benefit to both Abingdon Youth and the supporters of Oxford United.
"As we are celebrating our 50th anniversary this year since being founded in 1963 it is a great opportunity to celebrate in conjunction with OUFC and this offer is great for our OUFC-supporting members and players."

DELAWARE COUNTY.
Located in northeastern Oklahoma, Delaware County is bordered on the east by McDonald County, Missouri, and Benton County, Arkansas, on the south by Adair and Cherokee counties, on the west by Mayes and Craig counties, and on the north by Ottawa County. U.S. Highway 59 crosses the region north and south. The Cherokee Turnpike, also U.S. Highway 412, crosses the southern end of Delaware County. Other important routes include State Highways 10, 20, 28, 85, 116, 125, and 127.
The county lies on the western slopes of the Ozark Plateau, an area of forests, prairies, and farmland. The Grand River and Elk River are the major watercourses in the county's northern portion, and Flint Creek and the Illinois River drain in the southern part. The Ozark limestone holds no oil or minerals but provides an abundant supply of water. The county's total land and water area is 792.33 square miles.
At least three different periods of prehistoric peoples have been documented in Delaware County. By 2004 twenty-three Archaic, seventeen Woodland, and sixty-three Eastern Villager archaeological sites had been tested. In 1939, before Grand Lake filled, University of Oklahoma archaeologists excavated along Grand River and Honey Creek, uncovering many artifacts. The sites, similar to the Hopewell Culture that resided in the Kansas City, Missouri area 2,000 to 1,400 years ago, are now under the lake. In more modern times, few American Indians lived in the present county until the federal government began relocating tribes.
Beginning in 1828 the Western Cherokee were relocated from Arkansas, settling mainly outside future Delaware County, in the southern part of the region that later became the Cherokee Nation. One of the chiefs, Thomas Chisholm (grandfather of Sen. Robert L. Owen), settled just west of Maysville, Arkansas. He was buried there in 1834 in the oldest-known marked grave in the county. In 1832 the Seneca from Ohio were removed to Indian Territory into lands that extended into present northeastern Delaware County. Some of the Eastern Cherokee arrived in 1836 and 1837, but the main body came late 1838 into 1839. About 1820 a group of Delaware who had befriended the Cherokee against the Osage settled Delaware Town, located approximately two miles south of present Eucha on Spavinaw Creek; that site now lies under Lake Eucha. The Cherokee named the surrounding area Delaware District.
Delaware County was created at statehood in November 1907. Cherokee John H. Gibson, mayor of Grove, swore in the first county judge and clerk. As the only incorporated town in the county at statehood, Grove was designated the seat of government. However, a movement soon emerged to relocate it. Those who it in the county's center banded together, found a place on Jay Washbourne's allotment, platted a town, won a vote to make Jay the county seat, and built a wooden courthouse. Meanwhile, an entrepreneur built a concrete courthouse just outside of the Jay plat. The wooden courthouse mysteriously burned, tempers flared, guns appeared, and the governor called out the military. A judge ruled in favor of the Jay plat, and in 1912 the records went into the Jay courthouse. Nevertheless, Grove citizens complained that poor roads and insufficient accommodations made it difficult to hold court at Jay.
At the turn of the twentieth century subsistence farming served as the principal occupation. Much changed in the century's first two decades. Better transportation, refrigerated railroad cars, new farm equipment, and agricultural education brought improvements. The value of dairy products rose from $127,389 in 1919 to $186,499 ten years later. Egg production increased from 390,006 dozen in 1919 to 636,835 in 1929. Over time, labor-intensive row crops and grains gave way to cattle. In 1920 the county had 2,176 farms with 257,671 acres. This held steady until the 1960s when the number began decreasing. In the 1970s poultry, mainly broilers, became a key product. In 1997 there were 1,303 farms covering 364,620 acres. The value of agricultural products sold that year was $94 million, approximately two-thirds of which were poultry products.
Three lakes changed the face and the economy of Delaware County. In 1924 the city of Tulsa, completed a water-supply dam at Spavinaw on Spavinaw Creek in Mayes County. Lake Spavinaw impounds water into Delaware County. Although small, the lake began to attract weekenders and day-trippers. In 1940 a dam on Grand River was completed, and Grand Lake O' the Cherokees was filled. Grand Lake sprawls north across Delaware County into Ottawa County. Creation of the lake also displaced hundreds of people, covered roads, and necessitated relocation of a number of cemeteries. Sailboat Bridge on Grand Lake is the second-longest bridge over water in Oklahoma.
Tulsa's growing need for water caused it to revisit Spavinaw Creek, and in 1952 an upstream dam was completed, creating Lake Eucha. It became a popular fishing and recreation area. The lake inundated the Cherokee town of Eucha, the home of Cherokee Chief Charles Thompson, or Oochalata, who was buried there. The town and the cemetery were relocated. The chief is buried just inside the gate of the new cemetery, the grave marked by a military stone for his Civil War service to the Union.
After World War II a boom began. Tourism and retirement became big business. In 1965 Green Country, Incorporated, formed to coordinate promotion and development of sixteen northeast Oklahoma counties. In 2000 the three largest occupation groups, each at 23.4 percent of the labor force, were management, professional, and related occupations; production, transportation and material moving occupations; and sales and office jobs. Service occupations involved 15.9 percent, and farming and related jobs involved only 1.8 percent.
Rail access assisted in community growth over the years. In 1896 Congress authorized the Arkansas Northwestern Railway to build a line from Southwest City, Missouri, northwest to the Kansas line between Baxter Springs and Chetopa. Under the name of the Arkansas and Oklahoma Railroad, a line was built from Rogers, Arkansas, to Grove, reaching there in 1900. The next year the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway bought the line, which never extended beyond Grove and was abandoned in 1940. In 1912–13 the Kansas, Oklahoma, and Gulf Railroad built tracks through the region to connect Kansas and Texas. Upon entering Delaware County, the line looped west and then southwest, following the west bank of Grand River and exiting into Craig County. In 1912 the town of Bernice was platted on both sides of the railroad near the crossing of Horse Creek. Many businesses in Needmore, two miles east, moved to Bernice. Further east, Rabbit, a small community north of Grove later renamed Copeland Switch, developed. When Grand Lake was built, Bernice relocated to higher ground on the west side of Horse Creek, and some of the railway grade was moved. The line was abandoned in 1966, and the railway grade, including the Horse Creek Bridge, became State Highway 85A.
In 1910 Delaware County had a population of 11,469; only five counties had fewer people. This did not change appreciably until 1970 when the population surged from 13,198 in 1960 to 17,767 in 1970, 23,946 in 1980, and 28,070 in 1990. The 2000 census recorded 37,077, more than fifty-nine other counties. In 2004 the census revealed that while rural counties were losing population, Delaware County was the fifth-fastest-growing in the state. In addition to tourism, a tight labor market, aggressive action to attract employers, and a growing economy in adjacent northwest Arkansas contributed to these changes.
Since the surge of whites into Indian Territory in the nineteenth century's last decades, they have outnumbered other groups. In 1900 the census of Indian Territory recorded whites at 77.2 percent and American Indians at 13.4. The 2010 census tallied whites at 67.0 percent, American Indians at 22.4 percent, Asians at 1.3 percent, and African Americans at 0.2 percent. Hispanic ethnicity was identified as 3.0 percent. The incorporated towns are Bernice, Colcord, Grove, Jay, Kansas, Oaks, and West Siloam.
The county offers several recreation areas and historic sites. Just south of Lake Eucha is the 14,316-acre Spavinaw Wildlife Management Area. State parks include Honey Creek at Grove and Bernice at Bernice, Lake Eucha south of Jay, and Natural Falls near West Siloam Springs. Har-Ber Village, a large museum, is west of Grove. Near present Oaks is Moravian Springplace Mission. Southwest of Maysville, Arkansas, is the site of Fort Wayne. Six properties have been listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Polson Cemetery (NR 77001092), west of Southwest City, Missouri, is the burial place of Major Ridge, John Ridge, and Stand Watie. Northwest of Grove in the Seneca-Cayuga area is the still-active Splitlog (Cayuga Mission) Church (NR 72001061) built by Mathias Spitlog. The Hildebrand-Beck Mill (NR 72001062) stands on Flint Creek just north of U.S. Highway 412 east of Kansas, Oklahoma. The Talbot Library and Museum in Colcord displays artifacts and provides genealogy resources.
Notable natives of Delaware County include Lee B. Smith (1844–1917), an adopted Cherokee who served on the Cherokee Nation Council and was the county's first state legislator. John H. Gibson (1861–1940) owned the Grove Sun and served in local and state offices.

What you are about to read may not sit right with some. In fact, it will infuriate many. Let me say first, I am sorry for the emotions it will cause, not for the act in provoking them.
We are not a "tourist town".
There, I've said it. We are a town that has a tourist venue within it, Old Sturbridge Village. Little within the town is designed to attract, support, maintain, or designate the town, or part of it, as a tourist destination. Yes, we have well designed, and well constructed trails, but no professionally designed brochures, or booklets with simple to read maps. We have trail heads with limited parking, and some signage, "Trek Sturbridge". I haven't seen any actual marketing of our outdoors beyond what is written in the local newspapers.
In the 1940's when the Wells family built Old Sturbridge Village there was hope that the public would like it, and come back again. They did. That business spawned the need for places that those visitors could stay, and small motels, and motor courts sprung up.
Over the years, motels, and restaurants were opened primarily to capture the crowds coming to Sturbridge to visit OSV. Our town was quaint, with its pretty common and the period homes and businesses surrounding it, and the Publick House began to do better than it had been doing once the "Village" began drawing crowds.
When the Mass Turnpike came to town in the late 1950's, Sturbridge was awarded it's own exit. This act alone allowed for folks to hop on the pike and drive to Sturbridge to see Old Sturbridge Village without the normal stop and go driving along the back roads, and Route 20. Without Exit 9 Sturbridge would have remained the rural New England town it always had been, and OSV may not have done as well as it has.
Back then it was get on the pike, and head to exit 9, and get off. Very simple, and the pike drew thousands, and thousands. People actually made a day of packing up the car and heading out to explore the Turnpike. They'd have lunch at Howard Johnson's at one of the many rest areas, fill up their tanks, and maybe follow a sign to Old Sturbridge Village to see what it was all about. The crowds came to Sturbridge not because Sturbridge had a lot to offer, it was because of Old Sturbridge Village, and we had an exit.
Ever since we have referred to ourselves as a tourist town, and in a very real way we are, but not in the way one would think a tourist town would be. When I-84 came to town along the old bones of Route 15 from Connecticut it shuttled a new breed of traveler to town: the transient. People with a destination either north, or south of Sturbridge, but since we were at the the junction of two interstates, the east-west I-90, the Pike, and the north-south I-84, we were a great place to rest, eat, and maybe explore the sights. Old Sturbridge Village was on the list of things to see, and shopping was second on the list. If the travelers still had a ways to go, then one of our many motels rooms were available.
For years, and years, this was life in Sturbridge. Stores opened, and thrived, or closed. Restaurants, opened and closed. The successful deverloped a local, and long distance following, and became a destination themselves much like OSV.
Old Sturbidge Village did have its ups and downs as well, but over the past several years has rethought itself, and has down amazingly well. They rethought themselves, and that act has renewed The Village. It is way overdue for Sturbridge to rethink itself, or if they are in the midst of a ponder, then speed it up a bit and start to show results.
I've been to tourist towns, and so have you. Newburyport, Hyannis, Ogunquit, Stockbridge, North Conway, Lenox and Mystic to name a few, and we cannot compare to any of them. They all capitalize on their history, or a venue, within their town that attracts people. That venue may be skiing, shopping, the ocean, fine restaurants, or entertainment. Those towns adapted their existing infrastructure to serve tourism, build anew, and have maintained it all to insure the tourists don't go away. Nothing will cause a tourist to rethink a future visit if the town starts to let itself go, or not address a tourists needs.
Accommodating the tourist goes beyond offering a clean bed at the end of the day.
First thing we as a town need to do is to look around us and ask what infrastructure has been put in place, over the years, to support a tourist population.
The largest convention center in central, and western Massachusetts is here in Sturbridge at the Host Hotel. Thousands come to the Host each year for any one of their many conventions, or shows. Classic cars, antiques, political, fraternal, health and fitness events attract thousands to these all weekend events. I have watched those visitors playing Russian Roulette with the traffic on Route 20 as they try to cross the road in order to explore the rest of Main Street. There are no cross walks, or pedestrian controlled traffic lights to be found within a short walk. This simple omission speaks volumes about where our heads when it comes to accommodating our visitors.
There are no side walks along Route 20 from New Boston Road to the Host only a well worn dirt path. A dirt path along a major route that has been used for generations of tourists, and residents, walking from the old motel on the corner of Route 20, and New Boston Road. I wonder with the construction of the new Holiday Inn Express at that location will the state/town build a sidewalk. It would have nice to include it in the plan offered to the town along with a traffic light. Who knows, maybe the new owners have worked out something with the town, or maybe the town will refine the zoning in the area to force the necessary modern improvements.
The Welcome to Sturbridge sign, also at the same location, is in poor repair, and overgrown with trees. Maybe it was maintained by the motel, maybe it's the towns, but it doesn't really matter, it is that old sign that visitors see when they get off the highway at the gateway to our town.
Someone needs to take charge.
Sidewalks along Rout 20 are impassable to those with wide strollers or electric carts, wheelchairs, the number of crosswalks for a tourist town are few.
These are a few of the things that prevent us from being a true tourist town, and I've mentioned them many times before. There is so much room for improvement.
I could ramble on here for a dozen or so paragraphs, but it would do little to truly illustrate what is needed. I've taken you on the is ride before. The one way for you to understand is to visit a tourist town this fall, and look around you at how the host town accommodates its visitors. Of course, in most places the tourist season closed down on Labor Day weekend, but the signage, public bathrooms, crosswalks, traffic lights, sidewalks, and street lighting are still there.
Rethinking who we are, what we want to be, and how to get there is so needed. Brick sidewalks are nice, and that simple, if not controversial act, inspired the recent landscape makeover at the Public House. The entire area is beautiful. Imagine if something just as simple was to happen along Route 20 in Fiskdale. Who else would be inspired?
One simple act. We need more of those.
I agree that Sturbridge needs to define itself before it can move forward. Sturbridge has tourism but in the case of Sturbridge it is a weak economic engine. Other than OSV there is nothing of interest for tourists in Sturbridge, and as someone wrote in a letter to the editor once the tourists are here many businesses do little to attract them.
Sturbridge needs a diversified vision and a reality check. In addition to our tourist site many indications say we are a bedroom community. If that is the case we may need more businesses, activities, and other amenities that cater to the needs of the hometown population. People move to areas where they don't have to travel far to get what they need.
This is a topic that needs serious discussion and input from residents, businesses and local government. The answers are not in the Master Plan. The answers need to be based on reality not dreams and wishes.
Many small towns, even neighboring towns, have flags and/or banners throughout the town. This gives the town a "sense of place" that we hear about at selectmen and town meetings. One simple act for Sturbridge would be to coordinate the flags and banners along our streets. Currently, we have flags on poles and in other areas the OSV banners are on poles. In some areas there are neither flags nor banners. Banners are expensive and OSV paid part of the cost of the ones we have. Next time around the cost can be covered with money from the Betterment Fund, by businesses or a combination of both.
I like the idea of the flags throughout town, i have seen it elsewhere and it is attractive. We could have bought a years worth of flags with the money from betterment that went towards the lazer gun we bought the police.
We need to aggresively promote our brand. Banners, flags, attractive Welcome To Sturbridge Signs, directional signage showing the way to points of interest in town, trails, Lakes, more crosswalks, street lighting...and on and on. The Master Plan is merely a plan, just as the plan was in 1988. We need the action to accompany it.
We NEED a traffic light at the intersection of Arnold Road and Route 20.
The intersection of Route 20 and Arnold Road, and Route 20 and New Boston Road have needed traffic lights for years. The town has said that it is up to the state since it is a road controlled by the state. In the meantime, safety is in jeopardy, and lives have been lost at the New Boston intersection. That particular intersection is the most dangerous in town, the the BOS has not presented a plan to correct it. So, what now? It may be time for a grass roots campaign to get those intersections fitted with lights. it is obvious that the BOS does not have this on their Things To Do list. All it would take is a request from the town to,get the ball rolling.
According to "The Town," planning board, etc., they can't do anything about getting traffic lights at those intersections - but some of those same folks have spoken about narrowing the intersections at Cedar Street and Route 20, and at Routes 148 and 20, claiming that narrowing those intersections would make things safer. Huh? Go figure!
Why do you get to keep your Pandora advertising sign truck in your parking lot? Weren't other business people made to get rid of such things years ago?
Not that I'm offended by signs. 'Quite the contrary - but I do care about playing fair.
can we make the main street in Sturbridge look more attractive and less run down? Look at the main street of Shrewsbury And Holden.. they have beautiful stonework, sidewalks and street lamps,(no Hanging over head wires) and we are supposed to be the tourist attraction..
The tourist attraction, OSV, has no overhead wires; it has practical stonework, and no street lamps. Sturbridge is not OSV, nor is it Shrewsbury or Holden. Needful things, warmth, practicality and neatness in our town would do us well.
The millions we spent and are still owing on land acquisitions, and borrowing could have gone a long way in getting these things done, but, no, we have the CPA surcharge, its rules and regulations and folks pining to spend every cent they can get their hands on for needless stuff.
Holden is a beautiful town, and i think Sturbridge would benefit a lot from what they have done. The downtown area is gorgeous. We can accomplish some of that with betterment funds. I would love to see the wires go underground as well. Once our tax rate drops to the 12% range i would likely vote for it as well. Underground wires is something that i WANT, not something that i NEED. I think it is going to take about 18 years to pay off all the long term debt that we are paying on, i may be incorrect. So come to me in 18 years when we have paid off the rest of the wants that we are paying for. The waste water plant was a need more or less, the rest of them not so much in my opinion. Wants and needs people, wants and needs. I don't want to pay my ridiculous tax bill but i NEED to now.
Did anybody notice the fact that Rte 15 is now being proposed as an addition to the sewer service area? Do you think the town might finally put sewer in an area that could bring in more business? More tax dollars? More jobs?
Have they an agreement for financing this now with those few properties that will use it (camp grounds, and the mobile home community)? Would it reach the restaurant, gas stations, and the truck stop/motel? It sure would be great if there was a way to open up Route 15 to meaningful businesses. In this case, I mean "meaningful" in a way that means more jobs and tax dollars than do boutiques, spas, and trails.
One can hope! But the cost of installing sewer will still have to be borne by users who live on and have businesses on the street.
HAs anyone noticed they have been talking about that for years and years.
Something like a Wrentham village might work here. Its not the greatest kind of business when it comes to creating jobs but it is better than nothing. We do have an ideal location that is for sure.
I guess the stores might bring in a few more tourists and attract some of our townsfolk, but the salaries would be on the lower end. It would be a start but something more in the technical or educational, or even factory vein would be more beneficial both salary-wise and tax-wise. We really do need to do something more than cater to tourists and the upper scale.
Not to burst any bubbles but if Sturbridge was such a great location for high end stores, don't you think they'd be here by now?
Old Navy packed up and moved away. Linens and Things isn't here anymore. But we still have WalMart. The reason why low to middle end stores want to be here is because the income levels are what they are; it's our demographic. The stores know it and it's time Sturbridge folks faced it.
Anonymous is right about WalMart being a good fit for Sturbridge (and the surrounding area). Specialty shops are fun to browse and provide something a little different, but, for needs, give me WalMart, pharmacies and grocery stores - and something up on Route 15 to provide good jobs - then we might begin to look at specialty shops we can afford.
I do think that we have citizens in Sturbridge who prefer high end things and services. Some of these folks have complained that there is nothing good enough for them to buy in this town. The problem for them is that most of us don't give much of a hoot for much of those things (and, likely couldn't afford them anyway). Besides, Old Navy, for one, isn't high end enough for some, and the most of rest of us haven't felt the need to shop there either, so they're gone. For one thing, the very "quiet" signage in that area doesn't help. Many people still don't even realize there is an optical store, a women's clothing store, a shoe store, and more located on the same side as Staples and Stop and Shop.
I'd like to know why a prior anonymous poster thinks Route 15 is a prime location for a Wrentham Village type of development?
It's like saying that Sturbridge is a prime location for building $5 to $7,000,000 trails - there hasn't been any kind of analysis to make a determination in either case.
There needs to be zoning changes on Route 15. Once that's done, we would be very fortunate if higher end stores wanted to locate here.
the reason why old Navy closed is because of Lease disagreement with the owners, not due to low sales.
Sturbridge is not known to outsiders or tourist as an outlet stores destination, therefore, we do not get those people seeking this kind of service. However, if we build it and advertise it, they will come.. They already do ! and they drive on by right through from CT and NY and vise versa- but now they can stop by and do some outlet shopping for their relatives along the way..


The hardest part of this project has been deciding what to listen to. I have gotten about 50 recommendations from other people through the Suggest an Album page, and I have notes to myself in at least three different places for what I want to get around to listening to. Yesterday I ended up dumping all of those recommendations (from everyone including myself) into a text file and then wrote a script to pick an album at random and send an alert with the pick to my phone. It picked Aloe Blacc yesterday, and Nirvana today. Yesterday was even easier though, because my brother recommended an actual album to me, but my note to myself was just the band.
I still remember how big of a deal it was when Kurt Cobain died. But I also remember not really caring all that much. I was only ever vaguely aware of Nirvana. I was too broke when Nevermind was popular to own it, but I did have a "single" w/Smells Like Teen Spirit and a couple of other songs on it.
I was genuinely shocked when I looked at Nirvana's Wikipedia page today and realized that they only put out three studio albums. Everything else was live recordings and compilations. Since there were only three, I figure I'll just listen to them all over the next few days.
I've listened to Nevermind more times than I can count (even though I never owned it; I think probably everyone else I knew did), and I know I've heard most if not all of In Utero. Apparently I've never heard Bleach even once. I didn't recognize a single song. I've never really kept up with popular music, but this was surprising to me. Especially given that it's 1/3 of their entire output.
Anyway, Bleach didn't really do it for me. About a Girl was the only song I really cared for, and I think that was mostly due to the fact that it was the most palatable. The rest of the album, aside from Negative Creep and Scoff, were fine, I guess but really didn't do anything for me.


The irony, such as it is, that England so long a rival of France still responds in French is perhaps deepened by the fact that when alone Victoria and her children spoke German, not English. Bertie's, one expects, spoke English.

Audi announced that its outfitting many of its 2021 models with a faster and more powerful infotainment system. The new Modular Infotainment Toolkit 3 will introduce new features and capabilities for a wide range of 2021 vehicles, including the Audi A4, A5, A6, A7, and A8.
While some of us are daydreaming of the RS6 Sedan's return, Audi is updating its BMW 5 Series competitor at the other end of the lineup. The A6 Sport 45 TFSI might not have the most exciting name in the segment, but the new base A6 is a bit more appealing for the 2021 model year.
Only two years after its redesign, Audi hasn't changed much for the 2021 A6. It's given the base engine more horsepower and tweaked the standard features a bit in a bid to remain at the sharp end of what is a fairly Germanic class of cars.
The Audi A6 provides excellent performance and plenty of the latest technology features. Comfort suffers ever so slightly when you go with the big optional wheels and sport suspension, but the upside is a vehicle that's classy to look at and very fun to drive. It's one of the best models available in the midsize luxury sedan class.
Our test A6 sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds, which is among the quickest in the segment. Precise controls are one of the A6's hallmarks. Our test car delivered linear braking response and stopped from 60 mph in only 103 feet. The A6 has astonishingly high handling limits for such a big car, especially considering it's the A6, not the S6.
The larger 55 TFSI engine also moves the A6 with more authority than the smaller 45 TFSI engine. The 2021 Audi A6 is available in three trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. Two engines are available: Turbocharged 2.0-liter four cylinder engine (261 horsepower, 273 lb-ft), labeled the 45 TFSI

You can shoot a couple of heavy weapons while standing - depends on your strenght, and you wouldn't hit a thing. You can also dismantle any weapon and pack the parts into a big rucksack.
Gorro linked this on page two, with a request for the gun.
Hahahah, that's futile! That guy can barely walk with it. It's impossible shoot anything with it unless it's point blank, even then you could fire couple rounds before recoil messes everything!
Maybe prone with bipod could make it accurate enough for shorter bursts.
I don't know why everyone keeps repeating that 25kg (actually 25.5) figure without checking. The game currently supports item weights between 0 and 6553.5kg (that's more than 6.5 tons).
That said, HMGs are still totally impractical in the game until someone implements proper tripod mounted weapons (needs coding and animations).
Well then, HMGs aren't a problem when it comes to weight. Indeed they require a tripod in order to fire them effectively. I imagine coding and animation would be the hardest part.
Heheh, you could do some serious strength training with your merc then. Load a backpack with HMGs, one to hand + strap slot and off you go with over 250kg load... Wonder if he makes to the next sector?
The portable variant's bipod is actually a pretty clever recoil absorbing device. Thankfully with the NCTH came a way to make certain weapons non-viable to shoot while standing or kneeling, so making this thing usable only while prone should be easy enough.
Even those cats have brains & jaws.
Btw, i like that gun.
Pretty sure that thing (12,7, probably) is in at least one XML mod.
Actually, 20mm with a conversion kit for 14.5mm. Only the IoV family would be crazy enough to have it. There's nothing in game that's both worth shooting at and can be damaged by this abomination. .50 is already pushing it.
I really could use a cannon that can shoot through sandbags and kevlar grass. Also, I'd shoot Pablo with it.
There is a 'training' conversion kit in .50 as well.
Hmm. Doing some weapon research, I just found a very funky gun. The Mateba Unica 6 (aka the Mateba Auto-Revolver) is a recoil-operated revolver, making it one of the strangest guns ever. Aside of that, it also fires from the bottom cylinder position. It has a version in .454 Casull with an 8" barrel which is considered to be a joy to shoot (for such a powerful round). I might sprite this one, because it is just way too cool, and we already have .454 Casull in the game.
can i request for this KPV-14.5 heavy machine gun?
i like to mount it on the robot for massive fire power!!!
But seriously, I think the stability of that robot as a firing platform is vastly overestimated. They are usually used with the standard issue SAW, GPMG or a .50 AMR, haven't seen one in this weight class with .50MG or bigger.
Maybe if we ever get tripods implemented, there will be a place for those big guns.
It's a tactical UGV with <= 1m length, not a Ripsaw or something.
What about a bow or crossbow for silence kills?
There's a crossbow in AIMNAS.
Yes something like that! Let's name it Rock River Arms LAR-458 Custom.
Now there's something Mike would do wonders with.
Tons of links to tons of guns.
is there a list of weapons that are in 1.13?
I found a JA2 fanpage from Poland with nice gun pics, facing to the right, the other side than it is now in JA2, but looks very nice ... could someone put the pics in the games?
Please! I love them, all of them!
As said in the PM, those are /our/ gun pics, at least where 1.13-guns are concerned.
That they are pointing to the right also means that they are totally wrong (depicting the /left/ side of the gun (while it points to the right) means they are from a mirror universe...).
the Springfield Armory XD is the marketing name for the weapon, which is licensed and sold in the US by Springfield Armory, Inc.
Ingame as 'Springfield XD', index 722.
VHS ... looks like a FAMAS and is another 5.56 AR.
Btw, our armorer resigned his post, looks bad for new guns in the near future.
now in theory line: it is posible make for garand conv calibre kit's?
A billion AK variants? A billion AR-10/15 variants!

Александър Николаев () (шифър "Носорог", според класификацията на НАТО: Ivan Rogov class) е съветски голям десантен кораб () от проект 1174, "Иван Рогов".

Заложен е на Прибалтийския корабостроителен завод "Янтарь" в Калининград под заводски номер 102 през март 1976 г. При строителството си корабът е наречен в чест на вицеадмирала А. А. Николаев. Спуснат е на вода през есента на 1982 г., въведен е в състава на Тихоокеанския флот на 30 декември 1982 г.

"Кръстница" на кораба става дъщерята на главния му конструктор. В каютата на командира на кораба се съхранява тапата от бутилката шампанско, разбита според обичая в борда при кръщаването.

История на разработването
Тактико-техническо задание за проектирането на големия десантен кораб от проект 1174, шифър "Носорог", е дадено през септември 1964 г. Както и в БДК от проект 1171, в новия проект, по искане на Главкома на ВМФ на СССР адмирал Сергей Горшков, е заложено изискването за непосредствено стоварване на десанта при бреговата линия на водата. Разработката е поверена на Невското проектно-конструкторско бюро. Главен конструктор е П. П. Милованов, а за главен наблюдаващ от страна на ВМФ е назначен капитан 2 ранг А. В. Бехтерев. В процеса на проектиране се появяват сведения за програмата по строителство в САЩ на УДК от тип "Тарава". За това по указание на Главкома в проекта се внасят изменения. Появява се докова камера и е увеличен съставът на авиогрупата. Тези изменения водят до създаването на оригинален универсален десантен кораб при сравнително неголяма водоизместимост. В разработката на кораба вземат участие ЦНИИ "академик А. Н. Крилов", Първи ЦНИИ на МО на СССР и други организации. ЦКБ-17 получава поръчението да го доработи в посока увеличаване на скоростта и да проведе, съвместно с ЦНИИ-45, тактико-технически и икономически анализ с разглеждане на различните варианти за БДК от проект 1174 в съпоставка с кораб от проект 1171 за оценка на техните бойни възможности и избор на оптималното направление за последващото проектиране на кораба. Ескизният проект е готов през октомври 1965 г. Внесени са изменения в конструкцията след отработване на формите на обвода на корпуса в опитен басейн: появяват с носов бълб, заостряне в носовата част при водолинията, създаден е конструктивен диферент в кърмата. Окончателният технически проект е утвърден през май 1968 г.

Строителството на новите БДК е поръчано на Прибалтийския корабостроителен завод "Янтарь".

Конструкция
БДК "Александр Николаев" представлява многопалубен кораб на океанската зона с дължина 157 метра и ширина 23,8 метра, с полубак и развита кърмова надстройка. БДК е предназначен за транспортиране и стоварване на десант и бойна техника както на оборудвано, така и на необорудовано крайбрежие с условието на минимален наклон на дъното от 2 – 3 градуса – в зависимост от общата маса на приетия на кораба полезен товар, а също при дълбочина на брода при нока на сходнята не повече от 1,2 метра. Способен е да десантира плаваща техника – във водата, а отрядите морска пехота с оръжието чрез вертолети. За вертолетите на горната палуба има две площадки за излитане и кацане и хангар, разположен в надстройката между тях. В носовата му част има танков трюм, а в кърмовата – запълваща се с вода докова камера с поставени на площадка в предната част на доковата камера шпили от типа Ш-3. Стапел-палубата е разположена на един туиндек под танковата палуба, разстоянието от стапел-палубата до най-ниската точка на дъното на доковата камера е около 10 метра. Водоизместимостта стандартна, без десанта, бойната техника и плавателните средства е 8260 тона, а при взети на борда десант, техника и плавсредства в доковата камера – 11 580 тона, пълната водоизместимост при съставлява 14 060 тона, нормалното газене е 5,0 метра, максималното 6,7 метра. За натоварването на техниката от пирса при швартовка с кърмата, а също за приемането в доковата камера на плавсредства и стоварването им от нея на транеца има лацпорт с подвижно херметично затваряне, което в спуснато положение служи за сходня за преминаването на техниката. Преместването на техниката по кораба се осъществява с три сходни с хидравлично задвижване. Една е разположена между доковата камера и танковия трюм, двете други – между горната и танковата палуби. Носовото стоварващо устройство включва носови врати и подвижна сходня с дължина около 32 метра, в походно положение тя се намира под горната палуба и се премества с помощта на хидравлика. За разлика от главния кораб, по левия борд, на мястото на командирския "Стриж" е разположен работен катер. Личният състав на десанта е разположен в няколко кубрика и четириместни офицерски каюти. Екипажът на БДК съставлява 37 офицера и 202 матроса

Десантные возможности

БДК е способен да превози без десантни катери 46 основни бойни танка или до 79 БТР и БМП, или до 120 товарни автомобила. С десантни катери може да достави 23 средни танка или до 40 единици бронетехника. Размерите на танковия трюм са 54×12×5 метра. За разтоварване на неплуващата техника без приближаване на брега в доковата камера може да приеме 6 десантни катера от проекта 1785 "Т-4" или от проекта 1176 "Акула", или 3 десантни катера от проекта 11770 "Серна", или катерите на въздушна възглавница от проекта 1206 "Кальмар", или 2 от проекта 21820 "Дюгонь", или до 10 малки плашкоута. Размерите на доковата камера са 75×12×10 метра. Десантовместимостта е 500 души. Общата вместимост е 1730 тона товари. На кораба могат да се базират 4 транспортно-бойни вертолета Ка-29, способни да приемат по 16 десантчика всеки, или по една група за инженерно разузнаване. Възможно е разполагането и на вертолети от други типове – издирвателно-спасителни или противолодъчните Ка-27, а също вертолетите за РЛДН Ка-31.

Thrifter - Someone who religiously shops at Thrift Stores looking for bargains and often score amazing deals..
Hello. I am a thrifter.
I remember the first thrift store that opened my eyes to the unique world of resale and second hand treasures. The Swim was located in downtown Salinas, CA so long ago that i feel as if it were a dream i made up. Disco sequins, sky high pumps and odd accessories. Reminds me of the scene in Whip It when Ellen Page's character sees the roller derby girls for the first time. but grungier. My friends and I would get dropped off by my parents or we would take the 30min bus ride from Gonzales to Salinas. I still have a pair of earrings my best friend stole for me.It was grungy, it was surprising, i was hooked.
Flash forward 2016 and thrifting is still the way i shop and ethically waste time on the weekends. I have learned some tricks along the way to share with you who might still feel uncertain about 'hunting' for clothing , erase the thoughts of smelly dusty stores ( many shops are like boutiques now-a-days) and teach you how to embrace the endorphins of scoring an amazing haul.
America is wonderful place. We buy. We get bored. We give away. And this is the future. you don't even have to leave the house to thrift shop like a pro.
Another way to save big bucks and get the best items in store first is right on your cell phone. Use social media to follow your local shops on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Many second hand and consignment shops update their profiles with exclusive sales ( student discounts, holidays sales and 5$ bag sales. That means you fit as much fun stuff into a plastic bag as you can... for 5$ True Story.) and post new items you can call dibbs on!
In store you can find more than just cheap clothes. Statement home decor pieces can be found for much less than Target and Urban Outfitters! You can also find school and art supplies, coffee table and other books, storage, funky presents and cheap holiday decor or costumes.
Salvation Army ( had its 150th anniversary last year!) and Goodwill are obvious massive charity contributors but independent thrift shops also donate to their community charities and schools. Every purchased from a resale store is recycling and helping the planet heal from the fashion industry's pollution while simultaneously helping Americans and developing countries.

Q: How to use a non-fixed height with transitions on an accordion My work so far is here - http://jsfiddle.net/WDz6R/.
I'm trying to make each section of the accordion have an automatic height, but when i use 'height:auto' or a percentage instead of a pixel based height the sections are the correct height, but the transitions break.
Does a fixed height have to be used in order to use css transitions or is there another workaround?
This is the relevant part of the css:
#accordion section {
  overflow:hidden;
  height:220px;
}
#accordion section, #accordion .pointer, #accordion h1, #accordion p {
  -webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
  -moz-transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
  -ms-transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
  transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
}

A: Short answer, to animate it you need fixed heights. There's a sloppy max-height workaround shown here:
http://jsfiddle.net/WDz6R/3/
#accordion section.ac_hidden {
  max-height:44px;
}

#accordion section {
  overflow:hidden;
  height:auto;
  max-height: 400px;
}

Or use jQuery's slideUp() / slideDown()
