Hopes rise for refinancing of the Humber Bridge – and lower tolls
Two bidders are ready to pay £100 million, plus major debts write-off. But meanwhile cars will cost 30p more than the current £2.70 from the end of this week
Beautiful but expensive, the Humber Bridge may face a change in its fortunes later this autumn.
Although tolls go up on Saturday to a record £3 a car, there is growing optimism on both banks that radical change could follow in November.
The Treasury is expected to announce whether the long financial laming of the 2.2km (1.37 miles) crossing will end with the writing-off of £223 million of debt and sale to one of two rival bidders.
These are the existing Humber Bridge board and a chartered surveyor from Hull, Malcolm Scott, who both claim that they would cut tolls dramatically. At the moment, levels are so high – four axle lorries weighing over 7.5 tonnes will pay £20.30 from Saturday – that drivers are tempted to do the relatively modest hairpin via the M62 crossing of the Humber at the top of the estuary.
Business, unions, councils and MPs in both Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have argued for years that reducing or abolishing tolls would give the region a shot in the arm worth over £1 billion. The alternative appears to be limping along between regular toll rises when the Sisyphus task of meeting payments on the £323 debt falls behind.
That prompted the latest rise, when the board which runs but does not own the bridge, based its case on the danger of falling £2.2 million behind on debt and interest repayments. In simplistic financial terms these are on their way to paying the original debt for the fourth time.
The board and Scott have just presented their cases to the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership, giving details of the arguments which the Treasury is pondering. Both are offering to buy the bridge for £100 million with the £232 debt write-off as part of the deal. Scott told the LEP he envisaged reducing the car toll to £1 while the board foresaw a cut to £2.50 next April and £1.50 by 2020, with the heaviest lorry fare down to £12.50 that year. The current tolls are the most expensive in the UK.
The bridge has a wonderful history in both engineering and political terms, the latter even including a bit part by the Guardian. Approval for the crossing was given by the then transport secretary Barbara Castle just before a crucial by-election in Hull in 1966. Among the candidates was the paper's journalist Richard Gott whose celebrity was thought to be a threat to Labour's vote. In the event, his Radical Alliance polled 253 against Labour's 24,479 and a Tory challenge was easily held off.
John Clugson, interim Chair of the Humber LEP Board says of the latest financial moves:
At a time of economic instability, when Hull and the Humber is trying to attract industry and commerce to the region, it is important that an economic factor such as a bridge toll does not detract from the other advantages of locating in the region.
We hope to discuss the proposals in more detail when we meet with HM Treasury next month.
Local MPs recently met Treasury officials and Scunthorpe's Nic Dakin said afterwards:
They are now close to finalising the modelling of how the bridge would change in terms of usage according to different levels of tolls, which is important in understanding how changes would impact on other roads.


A record turnout of more than 170 vehicles were featured in the sixth annual Smoke n Chrome on Main Car Show from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Main and Third Streets.
On Saturday evening, Albion Veterans Club held the annual Street Dance on Third Street with music, food and refreshments. The fund raiser event also featured an auction and prize drawings.

Specialty Buildings
HEAVY VEHICLE INSPECTION FACILITY (HVIF) TRUCK CENTRAL BERRIMAH NT
The current NTG Vehicle Inspection Facility located at Goyder Road Parap is unsuitable for undertaking inspections of heavy vehicles, particularly road trains, due to its proximity to the Darwin CBD and the potential traffic conflicts.
The new recently completed Heavy Vehicle Inspection Facility (HVIF) has been purpose designed for a green field site within the new Truck Central Development sited at Berrimah an industrial area on the perimeter of the city. This Development includes parking and service facilities for heavy vehicles and their trailers.
The primary objectives in the design of the new facility were to ensure the safe travel of heavy vehicles through the facility and to provide a safe environment for both staff and the public.
The HVIF is a low energy industrial building featuring south facing skylights, insulated walls and roof, industrial "big-ass" fans and extensive cross flow ventilation. The walls and ceilings of the HVIF have been treated acoustically to minimise the noise.
Equipment includes automatic elevated work platforms, brake, suspension and headlight testing.
BINJARI COMMUNITY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
Platt Architects designed and documented the FaHCSIA funded Community Administration Building at the Binjari Community (located west of Katherine).
Extensive consultation was held with the Community to develop the brief and then to obtain their approval for the proposed location, design and colour scheme.
All members of the Community were encouraged and invited to contribute, not only to the briefed requirements but to what they would like their building to "look like" including colours and materials.
Specific discussion took place with respect to the availability of indigenous labour and skills. A preferred construction system was identified that would best suit the skills available within the Community.
The building includes an administration wing for community and housing officers, a general office and a small Centrelink office (the northern wing).
The southern wing provides public and private amenities including bathroom, shower facilities, toilets and a staff kitchen area. A night patrol office and communal meeting room are also incorporated into the southern wing.
A secure breezeway connects the wings.
The construction achieved a very high standard of workmanship.
ALICE SPRINGS FIRE STATION
Working in close consultation with the NTFRS Southern Region and User Groups a detailed Write Back Brief was prepared which included Room Data Sheets and detailed cost estimates.
The building includes:
> Reception area
> Offices including board and meeting rooms
> A post disaster control centre
> 3 Appliance bays
> Training facilities including tower
> Gymnasium
> Staff facilities, and
> 24 hour staff accommodation.
As the building is located within the 100 year Alice Springs' flood zone, the Post Disaster Control Centre, services and support facilities are raised above this flood level.
The site includes a traffic management system that allows for emergency access for appliances onto the busy Telegraph Terrace and includes traffic lights and other traffic management tools.
An extensive post occupancy review was conducted with the Client and the Consultant Team to discuss the outcomes of the project..
ALAWA PRIMARY SCHOOL REDEVELOPMENT STAGE 1 AND 2
Les Platt undertook the briefing and master planning of the Alawa Primary School site including the Pre-school.
The Master Plan (which allowed for future development to be delivered in stages) was developed as a result of consultation with the stakeholders which included the School Council, Principal, Teachers, Department of Planning and Infrastructure, Department of Education and Training, Development Consent Authority (planning), Powerwater Corporation and the local Council (City of Darwin).
The Master Plan, including a detailed Write Back Brief, addressed not only the buildings and site layout but included services such as electrical, mechanical and hydraulic, civil engineering (stormwater, access and parking) and landscaping.
The Plan was fully costed.
The Master Plan was presented to and adopted by the School Council.
Platt Architects undertaking the design of the first two stages and the documentation of the first stage. The Stage 1 teaching spaces were the first in Darwin to feature WiFi services.
AMPILATWATJA HEALTH CENTRE
The new Health Clinic is a Commonwealth of Australia OATSIH funded capital works project and replaces a very old existing Clinic.
A Renal Dialysis Unit has been included into the building and funded separately by the Western Desert Nganampa Walytja Palyentjakn Tjutaku Aboriginal Corporation (WDNWPT).
Due to the space limitation of the existing Clinic site, and the need to build around the existing Clinic whilst maintaining services, consultation was undertaken with the Traditional Owners, CLC and the AAPA to secure a new suitable "green field" site within the Community. This site was identified and has been secured with a lease being signed by the AHCAC.
The new Clinic includes the following facilities;
> Separate Men and Women waiting courtyards, internal waiting areas and Toilets
Reception, CEO Office, Clinic Manager Office and staff offices
Consulting Rooms (5 No) with en-suite Bathrooms
Emergency Room with adjacent ambulance bay
Dental Suite
Bulk Store
Staff facilities including Staff Room
Laundry – with external Drying Area
Dialysis Unit – 4 chairs
ANGURUGU SCHOOL NEW INFRASTRUCTURE
In April 2016 a fire at the Angurugu School destroyed a significant building area that included the canteen and nutrition preparation kitchen, the home economics class and dining room, transition classrooms, ablutions, storerooms and covered verandas.
Platt Architects were engaged to design and document replacement buildings which included;
A 22 place flexible Pre-school to conform to the Education and care Services National Regulations.
Learning and play space to accommodate the Families as First Teachers (FaFT) programme.
Shared facilities for both the Pre-school and FaFT including: Foyer, Staffroom, Kitchen, Children's Toilet, Consulting Room, Staff Toilet, Laundry and external Playground
New Student Ablution Facilities
Kitchen to service the School's nutrition program with an external covered dining space to accommodate 120 students. The Kitchen includes a Cool Room, Freezer, Dry Store, Staff Office, Delivery Area and an external fenced Service Yard.
Office space to accommodate the Truancy Team including Parent Meeting Room and Waiting Area.
Site works including driveways, carparking areas, fencing and covered walkways
Upgrade of site services.
Security to the buildings was an issue and secure Verandah areas have been provided with screens featuring local land and sea animals.
ALICE RESORT
Platt Architects undertook the master planning and design of the first two stages of the development located on the outskirts of Alice Springs.
At the time this development was one of the first major tourism development projects in Alice Springs to support the increasing tourist trade.
The complex is low rise designed to reflect simple Central Australian architecture with large overhangs and wide Verandahs.
Existing large ghost gums located on the site were retained and integrated into the design.
The first two stages included a variety of 3 star and budget accommodation plus support facilities including Reception, Administration, Kitchen, Dining Room, Laundry and a landscaped pool area.
Les Platt was engaged by the Project / Construction Manager (Sitzler Bros c1998) to prepare the design and documentation for Stage 3 of the development – this being a two storey 4 star quality accommodation building to be built adjacent to the western boundary of the site overlooking the Todd River.
CSIRO ALICE SPRINGS ADDITIONS AND UPGRADE
The CSIRO Facility at the time was located south of Alice Springs within a natural bush setting and with views north to the MacDonnell Ranges.
The brief included undertaking a significant upgrade to the existing building, including the Laboratories, and the construction of a new Training and Seminar Facility. The new Facility included a flexible Training and Seminar Room, Foyer, Kitchen and Toilet facilities. The Training Room was equipped with the latest AV system.
Platt Architects (at the time part of Woods Bagot) was appointed by CSIRO to prepare the Write Back Brief and extensive consultation was undertaken with the user groups and key stakeholders to develop a scope of work that could be delivered within the project budget
DARWIN CORRECTIONAL CENTRE MEDIUM SECURITY FACILITY
The requirement was to construct a new medium security facility within the existing Darwin Correctional Centre. The building was to house predominantly indigenous prisoners.
Les Platt led a team that was responsible for Brief Development, Design, Documentation and Construction Stage Services. The building was completed on time and within budget.
The Briefing process was undertaken by a Working Party which undertook extensive consultation with stakeholders, the examination of options, and the final agreement as to the design philosophy.
The major issues facing the design team were:
The extreme tropical climate of Darwin and how could the building best respond, while still
Meeting the recommendations of the Black Deaths in Custody Report, and
Providing an environment conducive to indigenous prisoners.
The solutions to the design were:
The provision of dormitory style accommodation with each dormitory housing up to ten prisoners providing support and comfort to each other. Within each dorm there were tea making facilities, televisions, individual bunks and direct access to ablution facilities. Like skinned indigenous prisoners were grouped together within the dorms.
The wings to the building were narrow in form to encourage cross flow ventilation together with the fact that the walls were light weight construction of predominantly louvers (with mesh security screens). In addition, suspended ceiling fans were provided.
There was a conflict with this approach in that there are potential ligature issues. The decision was made by the working party that the risk to prisoners was minimal due to the dorm approach as there would always be the support of other prisoners.

Pandemic lifts technology spending plans
More than eight-in-10 (83%) decision-makers in Europe and the Middle East say the Covid-19 accelerated their implementation plans for mobile devices and solutions, the highest score of any region.

Bahrain in top 50 for online business setup
Approximately three-quarters (76%) of shoppers prefer to shop at online retailers that also have brick-and-mortar locations, said Zebra Technologies Corporation, an innovator at the front line of business with solutions and partners that deliver a performance edge, in the results of its 13th annual Global Shopper Study.
This is the industry's only market tracker that analyses the attitudinal behaviour of shoppers, retail associates and retail executives and examines the retail and technology trends impacting shoppers' purchasing behavior both in-store and online.
Zebra's annual study found shoppers expect a seamless experience between stores and online and are increasingly placing orders online because of desired product availability, resulting in a surge of ecommerce orders with nearly 60% placing an order in the last three months. With more than one-fifth of shoppers returning an item purchased online, 57% of store associates are feeling significantly challenged by these returns. Out-of-stocks also remain a challenge and 41% of shoppers say this is the top reason for leaving stores without a purchase. This is followed by long checkout lines (32%) and an inability to find items (31%) both representing a marked increase from last year.
GROWTH IN MOBILE ORDERING
Retail decision-makers and store associates have seen a dramatic increase in the need for convenience and efficiency as the pandemic has catapulted shoppers' usage and affinity for mobile ordering and smart-checkout solutions.
Mobile ordering - from smartphones and tablets - has experienced tremendous growth and been instrumental in helping maintain social distancing and adherence to local guidelines. Seventy-two percent of shoppers used mobile ordering and 82% of those shoppers are highly likely to continue using it.
Millennials (88%) and Gen X (79%) shoppers were the primary users of mobile ordering but nearly half of Boomers (47%) used it too, and 74% of them are likely to continue using it in the future. Sixty-four percent of shoppers believe more retailers need to offer mobile ordering while the vast majority of decision-makers (90%) and store associates (83%) agree mobile ordering would help meet customer expectations.
SMART CHECKOUT
Approximately half (47%) of surveyed shoppers have interacted with self-checkouts in the last six months and more than six-in-10 (63%) shoppers agree self-checkout solutions provide an improved customer experience.
While agreement is highest among Millennials at 73%, 66% of Gen X shoppers and 50% of Boomers have also realised an improved customer experience from self-checkout solutions in the last year. Meanwhile, 86% of retail decision-makers and 71% of store associates agree self-checkouts improve the customer experience.
Almost nine-in-10 decision-makers and more than seven-in-10 associates believe self-checkouts freed employees up to do higher priority tasks and better serve customers while helping meet health and safety mandates and protocols.
SAFETY PARAMOUNT
Consumer and associate confidence can be increased when precautions or safety measures are put into place. Currently, there is a sizable trust gap between retail decision-makers, shoppers and associates when it comes to health and safety.
While approximately 90% of decision-makers think shoppers and associates trust them to make health and safety a priority, only 65% of shoppers and 77% of associates agree.
Nearly two-thirds (67%) of shoppers are concerned with surface sanitation or social exposure in stores, and 59% of shoppers prefer stores with contactless payment options. Seven-in-10 associates say social distancing/contact tracing apps would allow them to provide a better customer experience.
"Our study found that shoppers' in-store and online satisfaction significantly declined this year due to out-of-stocks, product variety, online delivery cost and timing and returns," said Jeff Schmitz, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Office, Zebra Technologies.
"Retailers are aware that success hinges on elevating the shopper experience and investments in analytics, mobile ordering and smart checkout will provide a more seamless and satisfying omnichannel experience."
KEY REGIONAL FINDINGS
*Seven-in-10 (70%) shoppers prefer direct delivery of items rather than picking them up at a store; and
*Sixty-five percent of shoppers prefer shopping at stores with contactless payment options.
*Eighty-seven percent of shoppers agree the use of technology helps retailers provide a safe, comfortable, and convenient experience, the highest score of any region; and
*Almost 90% of shoppers have used mobile ordering and intend to continue using it.
*Seventy-two percent of store associates prefer to have prescribed tasks rather than reading reports to help them manage their day; and
*More than three-in-four (77%) decision-makers reported feeling pressure to improve fulfillment operations and efficiency so they could offer a variety of delivery options and speeds.
Zebra's 13th annual Global Shopper Study included approximately 4,175 shoppers, 577 retail associates and 412 retail executives from North America, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Middle East who were interviewed in August - September 2020 by Azure Knowledge Corporation. -- Tradearabia News Service

Des McAnuff Leads 'Dr. Zhivago' Musical To Broadway – UPDATE

Jan Maxwell Has Died; Five-Time Tony Nominee Praised 'Law & Order' As "The Mother Ship"
Broadway's Youngest Turk Takes A Page From Trump's Twittery Playbook
'Hedwig' Producer David Binder Named BAM Artistic Director
UPDATE, 9:30 AM with more info: After eight years of development, director Des McAnuff and a creative team that includes playwright and screenwriter Michael Weller, composer Lucy Simon and lyricists Michael Korie and Amy Powers will bring their musical adaptation of Dr. Zhivago to the Broadway Theatre in the spring, following the post-New Year's exit of Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella. Lead producer is Anita Waxman, whose shows include Rocky The Musical. She's joined by Tom Dockton, Latitude Link, Ted Hartley/RKO Stage and South Korean impresario Chunsoo Shin.
The show is slated to begin previews March 27 and open April 21.
The 1957 Boris Pasternak novel, adapted for David Lean's classic 1965 film starring Omar Sharif, Julie Christie, Geraldine Chaplin and Alec Guinness inspired the show, which was first produced in 2006 at the La Jolla Playhouse, where McAnuff (Jersey Boys, The Who's Tommy) was artistic director. In 2011, a revamped version was staged in Sydney.
The creatives bring extraordinary credentials: Weller made his name as the playwright of Moonchildren, Loose Ends and others before going on to write the screenplays for Milos Forman's films of Hair (1979) and Ragtime (1981). Simon made her Broadway debut with 1991's The Secret Garden. Korie was a Tony nominee as co-lyricist of the critically acclaimed musical adaptation of Grey Gardens, and Powers wrote the lyrics to the two best songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard — "With One Look" and "As If We Never Said Goodbye."
Like Lean's Oscar-winning screenwriter Robert Bolt, McAnuff & Co. have their work cut out for them, simplifying a sprawling love story that begins in Imperial Russia, extends through the first World War, the Russian revolution and Stalin's Gulag, and concludes after World War II. And they have the challenge of matching Maurice Jarre's Oscar-winning score and its leitmotif of "Lara's Theme."
Helen Mirren's UK Co-Stars Set For Broadway 'Audience'
The choreographer is Kelly Devine, who staged the dances for Rocky and worked with McAnuff on the global hit Jersey Boys, still running on Broadway at the August Wilson. The rest of the creative team includes Michael Scott-Mitchell (sets), Paul Tazewell (costumes), Howell Binkley (lighting), Steve Canyon Kennedy (sound) and Sean Nieuwenhuis (projections). Musical-theater veterans Danny Troob and Eric Stern are handling orchestrations and music arrangement, respectively, with Ron Melrose as musical supervisor.

A trial has been set for a man accused of robbing the First Merit Bank in Lewis Center last June.
Seth P. Kafoure, was scheduled to stand trial in Delaware County Common Please Court on Jan. 31 and face a not guilty plea to two counts of robbery, second-degree felonies and two counts of theft, a fifth-degree felony and a first-degree misdemeanor.
However, the morning the trial was scheduled to begin a judgment entry was filed by Delaware County Common Pleas Judge David Gormley indicating that the trial was to be vacated because Kafoure wished to change his plea. Gormley then scheduled a change of plea hearing for Feb. 27 at 3:30 p.m.
When Kafoure was indicted on Oct. 14, prosecutors reported that on June 15, 2016 deputies responded to a robbery in progress call from First Merit Bank in Lewis Center.
"A man presented a note demanding cash to a teller," Delaware County Prosecutor Carol O'Brien said when Kafoure was indicted. "The man, who received money from the employee, was caught on surveillance video." Prosecutors said the indictment also includes charges related to a June 8, 2016, Huntington Bank robbery in New Albany.
Kafoure's attorney, William Leber, said that Kafoure is already in prison from charges relating to a June 10, 2016 robbery of a Fifth Third Bank in Warren County, Ohio. Leber said Kafoure will be released from prison in June of 2021.
Since Kafoure is incarcerated at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient, Ohio, Gormley gave Kafoure a recognizance bond.

Where to spot Migaloo as the white whale turns 30 this year
by Adrianna Zappavigna
22nd Jun 2019 6:00 PM
Australia's favourite albino humpback has been spotted making his annual journey along the Mid North Coast.
The white whale's migration is more significant this season, because this year, Migaloo turns 30.
The adult male whale is a unique find for scientists, a delight for tourists and, for most Aussies, an unofficial national mascot.
The 40-tonne, 15-metre albino humpback whale - believed to have been born in 1989 - typically turns up in New Zealand in late June before cropping up again along either Cape Byron or the Gold Coast in late July.
This year, as Migaloo migrates from the cold Antarctic waters to warmer, tropical temps on the Great Barrier Reef and back again, fans are already on the lookout for the birthday boy.

WHERE TO SEE MIGALOO
The earliest reported sightings of Migaloo this year began in early May when the great white whale made an appearance off the coast of Sydney (according to tweets from May 9).
Similar claims were made when a man captured footage of an albino whale, shared on May 29. While the location of the sighting isn't known, fans were quick to question whether it was Migaloo beginning his annual migration.
With reports the majestic white whale is expected to cruise past the Gold Coast in the next few days, fans are calling these pictures the real deal.
Taken from a plane, these images are believed to show the first official Migaloo sighting of the season. But one Twitter user was quick to comment, "Could it be a whale swimming upside down, showing its tummy?"
Migaloo's migration route. Picture: Twitter @Sailonline.org
To track Migaloo's annual travels, the White Whale Research Centre has established an online system that allows scientists and whale watchers to log their Migaloo sightings. This database, along with annual whale counts, has helped scientists keep regular tabs on the rare whale.
Since record keeping began, Migaloo has been spotted over 50 times, and whale watchers from around the world eagerly anticipate his appearance year after year.

But remember to keep your distance. Due to the amount of attention he receives for his unique appearance, Migaloo is protected under special Queensland and Commonwealth government legislation, prohibiting vessels from approaching closer than 500 metres of the white whale. Any closer and they can cop a $16,500 fine.
This shot was taken when the elusive white humpback whale once surfaced off Green Island on the Great Barrier Reef in North Queensland.
MIGALOO'S MILESTONE BIRTHDAY
First spotted in 1991 passing through Byron Bay, Migaloo was thought to be between three and five years old at the time.
Migaloo became an anomaly as the only known white humpback whale in the world. Since then, three others have been spotted - named Bahloo, Willow and Migaloo Jnr.
And despite Migaloo turning 30 this year, Dr Wally Franklin - an adjunct fellow at Southern Cross University and founding director of The Oceania Project - said the white whale still had many birthdays ahead of him.
"This year he is 30 years old, so he is now well and truly fully grown and fully mature. He's mature socially and physically," Dr Franklin said.
"It doesn't appear that he has had any issues with predators and he has an expectation to living as long as 100 years, which is the generally believed life expectancy."
Migaloo is also thought to have sired at least two offspring, but a genetic sample is needed to confirm this.

In Minnesota's foster system, kids go from bad to worse
Rosalyn Feather, 19, at Beverley A. Benjamin Youth Lodge in St. Paul. She estimates she's lived in at least eight homes in four years.
— LEILA NAVIDI • leila.navidi@startribune.com
By Brandon Stahl , Star Tribune
Minnesota's foster care system is falling short of state and federal standards meant to ensure that abused children are placed into stable and permanent homes, a Star Tribune review of state records has found.
Those records reveal that too many abused foster children in Minnesota are returned to their parents too quickly, suffer more maltreatment and end up back in foster care. Thousands of children have been further traumatized by being shuttled among numerous foster homes as they wait, sometimes in vain, for adoption, state records show.
As the number of foster children has grown to more than 11,000, fewer families are signing on as foster parents, records show. That problem could intensify, as a child protection task force formed by Gov. Mark Dayton recommended on Monday numerous reforms that will likely see more children removed from abusive homes.
"I don't think we're ready for that increase," Robert O'Connor, a member of the task force and a social work professor at Metropolitan State University, said after reviewing the data compiled by the Star Tribune.
He hopes for significant changes in areas "that the data suggests we're failing children."
2015: State revokes licenses of foster providers after 6-year-old's death
In 2013, the most recent year data was available, Minnesota failed to meet the federal standard in seven of the 15 measures of placing children permanently and safely with families, records show.
"I think 20 years from now we'll look back at some of these numbers and we'll be astonished that we practice in this way," O'Connor said.
Lucinda Jesson, the commissioner for the Department of Human Services, which supervises the county-run foster care system, acknowledged that the state must make "much-needed improvements."
The task force, which Jesson co-chaired, approved four recommendations to improve foster care, including the development of a plan to place children in stable homes. A new law will allow parents who adopt to get the same compensation and services as foster parents receive, eliminating the financial disincentive to adoption.
That's what one former foster child believes left her without a permanent home.
Amanda Kissell-Bradley, 22, of Minneapolis, was put into foster care at age 12 after child protection received reports that she was being abused and her father was using drugs.
"I remember being on my way [to shelter] and the social worker saying, 'Things are going to get better now,' " she said.
Instead, she lived in four foster homes and aged out of foster care. Twice, she said her foster parents said they wanted to adopt her, but they told her it made more for them sense financially if she remained a foster child.
"No kid should ever experience what I experienced," she said.
'Traumatic'
At her Pine City home, Jennifer Wiechman estimates she has been a foster mother to at least 25 kids in the past nine years, adopting two of them. She said the abuse and neglect the children have suffered at the hands of their biological parents is often so severe that the kids are often violent and unable to connect with caregivers.
But Wiechman said one of her frustrations with foster care is that they are removed from her too quickly and come back again, even more damaged.
"I would like to see where kids' needs are thought of first and foremost, rather than adults' desires," Wiechman said.
Under federal standards fewer than 10 percent of the children reunited with their families should have to re-enter foster care within a year. Minnesota's rate is 25 percent, one of the highest in the country.
Jesson said one of her priorities in fixing the foster care system is lowering the re-entry rate by creating stronger family reunification plans.
"When you think about these kids, and having them move from one home to another is just traumatic," Jesson said. "Just going to a foster home is traumatic."
The death of a 6-year-old in a Brooklyn Park foster home in December raised questions about the oversight and licensing of foster homes in Minnesota. On Friday, DHS revoked the license of the foster care placement agency and the home after finding widespread violations.
Raised by the system
County child protection agencies and juvenile courts generally have about one year to find an abused child a permanent home. Yet records show that deadline has been missed for at least 4,000 children since 2009.
When Julia and Stewart Simon of Mound decided to adopt an older child three years ago, they found a 16-year-old girl who had spent three-quarters of her life in foster care.
The girl, now 18, did not want her name used because she does not want past abusers to find her. She said that when she first met the Simons, she just glared at them.
"I've been given up on so many times, I told them, 'Don't waste your time on me,' " she said.
But the Simons persisted and learned why the girl was so angry. Starting at age 4, she moved back and forth from foster care to her mother. She was 10 when her mother gave up her parental rights.
In three homes, she said she was told she would be adopted, only to have those hopes dashed.
Per federal standards, kids in foster care for two years or more should have to live in only one or two homes. Only 34 percent of Minnesota foster children meet that standard.
By the time the girl met the Simons, she had been in at least 13 placements.
She said she raised herself "to not care anymore" and thought she would eventually live on the streets.
Instead, the Simons adopted her. They've been through difficult times, but the girl who used to call Julia by a vulgarity now calls her "Mom."
One of the effects of being raised in foster care, Julia Simon said, is that her daughter has no self-esteem, and never learned basic social skills, such as whom to trust, or how to make friends.
Now 18, the girl doesn't expect much for a future, but says it's a better one than she imagined growing up. She's finishing high school, and hopes to turn her love for animals into a job working for a zoo or a veterinarian.
"I thought I was going to be a failure," she said. "Now I feel like I'm going to be living with Julia and Stewart for the rest of my life. I'm too scared to get my own place. I've never experienced what the outside world is."
'Bad to worse'
Other Minnesota foster children can reach what the state considers a permanent home, yet are never actually adopted. That's true for 19-year-old Rosalyn Feather, who said she felt like she never had a family growing up.
Social workers put her and her three siblings into foster care in 2002, when she was 6. Their mother was an alcoholic and addicted to sniffing paint, and the children often witnessed violent abuse at home, records show.
In 2004, when Rosalyn was 8, Hennepin County transferred legal custody of Rosalyn and her siblings to their foster mother, Diane Diederichs-Stokes. In the eyes of Minnesota, the children had a stable, permanent home.
To Rosalyn, "it went from bad to worse," she said.
She describes that time as so unstable that she and her sister began running away to try get back to their mother.
From 2005 to 2010, records show, Anoka County child protection received three reports that Rosalyn and her siblings were not being supervised, and two reports they were given inadequate medical care.
In 2011, when Rosalyn was 15, a social worker found the family living in a room at the Highway Hotel in Spring Lake Park, with one of the kids sleeping in a corner under a table, and another on a small chair stuffed with magazines, records show.
The next year, the county removed the children from Diederichs-Stokes' care.
In an interview, Diederichs-Stokes denied ever maltreating the children. She acknowledged that her homes were chaotic, but blamed it on the children.
"They were raised in so much violence, and so much drug use and alcohol abuse," Diederichs-Stokes said. "It was so much a part of them, and they just acted it out."
Since leaving Diederichs-Stokes, Rosalyn went back into the foster care system and estimates she lived in at least eight homes and treatment facilities in four years. She now lives in a transitional housing facility in St. Paul, where she wonders what life might have been like if she had a stable family.
"I just wanted two parents and to be with my siblings," she said. "To not have to worry about where I would be sleeping and what I would be eating."

Take a minute to think about your marketing strategy and your marketing mix. Is it working for you as well as you want?
First off – what is Marketing Mix?
Here's the legacy definition of marketing mix.
When the economy went into a tailspin two years ago, many marketers did what they had to do: Cut their spend and focused the few bucks they did have on the cheapest available options; primarily digital channels.
That's understandable. But now that the economy is showing signs of life, too many are sticking to that strategy, essentially standing on the sidelines as the economic recovery kicks into gear. Or, worse yet, increasing their budgets but not the channels they use to communicate.
If there's one painful lesson that every investor learned when Wall Street crashed, it's that you need to diversify. So why haven't marketers learned that same lesson when it comes to their communications?
As a result of this mono-channel approach, the digital world has become increasingly crowded as the average consumer receives 15 to 20 e-mails a day from companies or brands. That's not good for marketers looking for engaging ways to get their messages in the hands of consumers.
Consider, for example, that the average household receives about 16 pieces of advertising-related mail per week (according to the USPS 2008 Household Diary Study), and you can plainly see the potential that mail offers. Less clutter, an ability to stand out and the ability to " literally " put your brand's best case in the hands of your customer.
Beyond the clutter, there's simple math that says the more you diversify the communication channels with your customers, the better the impact. A recent study found that 80 percent of consumers rely on more than one channel when making a purchase decision. That makes sense. Most of us need to have multiple interactions with a brand before parting with our hard-earned dollars.
All of this doesn't mention the inherent advantages of mail, that it can drive your customers to a personalized URL, deliver a QR (quick response) code that links them to a highly targeted message online or even put a sample of your product directly into their hands. Only mail can do all that.
Direct Mail is tactical, dimensional and cuts through the clutter. It gets you noticed. Puts your message or even a sample of your product directly into the hands of your customer. That's what you want; a chance to make a connection.
Don't get caught standing on the sidelines as it's time to get in the game.
Diversify your marketing mix now and you'll benefit in the long run.
If your business is offering products or services to other businesses, you should contact us and get a free sample of our New Business Mailing List. With our New Business Telemarketing List, other businesses have seen as much as 300% increase in the number of new customers they reached and acquired within a short period of time.

Companies made green promises. Now what?
Under pressure to act, firms face challenges implementing decarbonization plans
The corporate world has never sounded so green.
In the first five months of this year, there were 610 news releases from S&P 500 companies mentioning principles around environmental, social and corporate governance. This is more than double the rate of the same period in 2020, according to data from Sentieo.
The deluge is in part due to investors, which are increasingly urging companies to uphold themselves to strict ESG measures. It also comes as people look for work with companies that reflect their personal beliefs.

Global real estate investment hits new high November 12, 2021
But now the challenge is to back up commitments with actions. For many companies around the world, there is still a way to go.
On the environmental front, only 71 out of 647 occupiers and investors surveyed in JLL's Responsible Real Estate report have integrated reducing carbon emissions into a sustainability strategy, adopted carbon reduction targets, set a clear roadmap for delivering on environmental ambitions, and have adequate data and technology to track all the above. Other JLL research shows that while 96 percent of top global companies have set ambitious, publicly stated sustainability goals, only 19 percent have a clear sustainability action plan with committed spend to achieve those goals.
"Most occupiers and investors are still at the early stage of their carbon emissions reduction journey and a long path is ahead of them," says Lori Mabardi, Senior Director, ESG Research, JLL, who is one of the authors of the report. "Translating good intentions into achievable targets will require partnership and transformative thinking."
What companies are doing
Organizations farthest along in achieving their environmental ambitions tend to have a few things in common.
For one, they have significant resources allocated to carbon-reduction efforts. Of the companies in the survey that were so-called ESG leaders, 74% have a dedicated, centralized budget for implanting carbon reduction initiatives.
This means they're putting long-term sustainability goals ahead of short-term financial criteria, a shift many see as essential to retain clients, win new business and attract talent, says Kyle Goehring, Executive Vice President, Clean Energy Solutions, JLL.
Giovanni Mereghetti/Education Images/Universal Images Group via Getty Images
"We have a client that spoke to us in 2019 about carbon reduction but couldn't pull the trigger because they wanted the numbers to be positive at that very moment versus in the future," he says. "But now this client is full speed ahead to reach their 2025 targets. More and more companies are seeing that in the long run, history will favor them."
Another commonality: carefully tracking progress. Leading firms have enhanced data capabilities that allow for continuous improvement based on real-time analytics and automated decision-making.
Underinvestment in technology is a major pain point holding back some real estate owners and even tenants from making progress. The JLL survey shows 74% see insufficient technology infrastructure as a barrier to reaching environmental goals, while 84% of respondents say that digital solutions will be critical in achieving sustainability goals.
Investors push for results
Part of the impetus behind strong corporate environmental goals is an increasingly vocal investor community. Larry Fink, chief executive of Blackrock, has emphasized that "climate risk is investment risk," now a mainstream mantra.
Shareholders are also demanding results. Recently, activist shareholders A hedge fund that criticized a large oil company's climate strategy won enough shareholder support to remove at least two directors from the oil giant's board. Other investors are lobbying governments and regulators to require companies expand ESG disclosures and take on more substantial commitments.
"Investors are increasingly seeing that solar and alternatives are a great investment because we know the sun will shine and the wind will blow, whereas who knows what will happen with the stock market tomorrow," Goehring says.
What the people want
There's also public pressure. Companies without clear environment-linked policies risk turning off potential employees, or worse.
"There is increasing risk that companies get called out online via social media," Goehring says. "For a long time, companies could greenwash and buy carbon credits off a forestry project and now people will tweet-shame them, 'that forest does not impact what you are doing in California.'"
In the JLL survey, 89 percent of companies said that sustainability is increasingly important to their corporate strategy.
"There's a reason why many companies' targets are set around 2030, 2040 and 2050," says Sundar Nagarajan, Head of Consulting, JLL Work Dynamics, which recently launched Sustainable Operations, an end-to-end sustainability product offering developed to help companies configure, launch and manage portfolio-wide sustainability programs. "Younger generations want to see this change in their lifetime."

Commercial real estate impacts
With the built environment accounting for about 40 percent of global carbon emissions, there's real pressure on the real estate industry.
Out of the owners JLL surveyed, 73 percent said that green strategies drive higher occupancy, rents, and tenant retention, as well as overall higher values. This means environmentally friendly buildings have a leg up.
But because new construction has its own carbon implications, "we can't simply build our way out of this problem," Mabardi says. For this reason, many owners are considering retrofitting properties to make them less carbon intensive.
This can involve solar panels on rooftops or installing electric vehicle charging stations.
Still, companies can't go it alone. An "ecosystem of partnerships" will be necessary to accelerate the race to net zero, Mabardi says.
"The magnitude of the climate change challenge and the urgency with which we need to create a significantly decarbonized built environment requires society-wide buy-in and the mobilization of resources across multiple stakeholder groups," she says. "No single stakeholder group, whether in the public or private sector, has the resources or capabilities to accomplish decarbonization on its own."

Your kitchen sink does an immense amount of work – from cleaning to cooking. If the drain is clogged, you're going to notice immediately. These clogs are typically the result of built-up debris or calcium -from crumbs to grease. Many stores sell chemical drain cleaners. These products, however, are harsh and may ruin your plumbing system. It's best to avoid them altogether. Instead, opt for a more natural treatment. Natural enzymes are a highly recommended solution to a pesky clogged drain.
Persistent clogs typically do not respond well to baking soda or vinegar treatments. The very same clog may react positively to a natural enzyme cleaner, however. These natural drain cleaners contain living bacteria, which produce enzymes known to break down organic buildup in your plumbing system. These natural enzymes are the perfect solution to a clogged kitchen drain, where efficient water flow is critical.
Furthermore, enzyme cleaners work over time. You'll notice noteworthy results almost immediately; however, the enzymes continue cleaning the drain for weeks or months after first use. Your disposal and drain will remain clear.
The most efficient way to solve a drain clog is by preventing one altogether. There's a reason so many plumbers highly recommend preventative maintenance. When properly cared for, your plumbing system will reward you by functioning correctly.
Toss a handful of baking soda down the drain, then run the hot water to remove buildup and odors.
If your kitchen could benefit from professional drain cleaning services, contact Dutton Plumbing. We're the professional plumbers homeowners trust to get the job done right the first time. We won't give up until your drain is running optimally, and that's a guarantee!

This example uses Input file, Output file and supporting script nodes, as well as an in-program batch node. The supporting script calls a python program which outputs the function value .
This example could have been done much more simply in EZOpt (or by hand), but shows the process in which an external program can be used in the optimization process.

Sarah Thornton talks to a Central Hawke's Bay couple living the good life.
The couple bought the 1.5 hectare hillside block in 2004, and through an "organic process" of reading, talking to friends and making frequent trips to the local garden centre, the empty paddocks have been transformed into what can only be described as a smorgasbord of plant life; from humble vegetable patches and fruit trees to exotic truffle inoculated oaks and grapevines.
"We really didn't have a plan to begin with; it evolved as we planted. But what we did realise very early on in the piece was that it was going to be possible for the land to provide for us in our retirement," says Cherie.
Definitely on the plan however, was the Vale's dream home, built in 2006 and sitting proudly atop a hill overlooking the gardens, olive grove and vineyard. "When we bought the land both Brendan and I were in our early 50s. So although retirement was ten or so years away, it was in the back of our minds when we were making decisions about building our home or planting the land," says Cherie.
To write a list of what plants, flowers, trees and vegetables the Vales have on their property would take pages, lest to say there's pretty much everything, with every square metre of dirt put to use. Brendan works full time with the Ministry for Primary Industries as a manager, leaving Cherie to look after the property although the pair team up in the weekends to work, particularly in the vegetable gardens.
Supplying the couple with "100 percent" of their summer vegetables, the gardens are rotated, with rocket, coriander and lettuce grown year round. The couple have a 'no dig' approach to the gardens, a method that Brendan says started by accident.
"We had a hard clay pan to start our vegetable patch on, as it was part of the site excavated for the house build. We just fenced it, piled in the compost and then put layers of straw, sheep manure, pea hay and more compost until there was a healthy worm population. Between us and the worms, the clay was well broken up.
Cherie says the planting has been "trial and error". "I always prefer other people's gardens and am inspired by what I see. It's where I discover new plants and flowers for our garden – as a result I have several favourites," she says.
The Vales have not been scared of experimenting with their planting either. In 2008 they planted 35 evergreen oaks and in 2010, planted a further 15 deciduous oaks, 15 hazelnuts and two pinus pinea (pine nut) – all inoculated with truffle spores. In a few months' time, a truffle sniffing dog will be put to work to see if their efforts have paid off.
As the land has evolved, Cherie and Brendan have also targeted their plantings to attract native birds and bees into the garden.
While Cherie is in charge of the growing and maintenance of the flowers, vineyard, olives, truffieres and the bevy of creatures they share the land with. Brendan takes ownership of the honey, olive oil and wine production. The vineyard provides him with enough Bordeaux style grapes to produce a robust red, made at home with advice from a local winemaker.
Last year the couple harvested more than 100kg of honey from one hive alone. Cherie makes her own cleaning products from alcohol that Brendan distils from mead made from left over honey, also using it to make her own tincture from the Hawthorn trees that were in situ when the couple moved in. 250 cypress trees have been planted for future timber and to offset carbon omissions, while chickens, ducks, quails and sheep keep them in eggs and meat.
A lifestyle block is a large project, and one Cherie would find impossible to manage without the help of foreign student workers. For two thirds of the year, 'HelpX' workers stay in the Vale's cottage and are fed in return for helping out on the property. "They are invaluable and take care of the things I don't' have time for, like building a new cage for the red legged partridge," she says.
"Whether you have a small garden in town, or a block like ours, planting is about experimenting, giving things a go and getting inspired. We had the same approach to gardening and the land providing for us when we lived in suburban Hastings, it's now just on a bigger scale.

The Ansar Dine have seized the city and hope to "destroy every mausoleum in the city — all of them, without exception."
The fabled desert city of Timbuktu, Mali, is in some trouble.
Islamist militants affiliated with the extremist group Ansar Dine have seized the city and are trashing shrines to Islamic saints and mosques. They are targeting any building that falls outside the "strict interpretation" of Islamic law. A spokesman for Ansar Dine told the BBC that the group hopes to "destroy every mausoleum in the city — all of them, without exception." This includes tombs higher than 6 inches.
Today, they broke the door of Sidi Yahia, a 15th-century mosque. According to Global Post, Sidi Yahia is one of Timbuktu's "three great mosques, and the door had previously been sealed for centuries as it led to the sacred tomb of saints."
A former tour guide in the once-popular tourist destination said: "They came with pick-axes, they cried 'Allah' and broke the door. It is very serious. Some of the people watching began crying."
Another man, a relative of a local imam (religious leader), said he had spoken to members of Ansar Dine and "they wanted to show that it is not the end of the world" when the door is opened.
According to the website of the UN cultural agency (UNESCO) Sidi Yahya is one of Timbuktu's three great mosques and was built around 1400, dating back to the city's golden age as a desert crossroads and centre for learning.


Redlands police are searching for a 21-year-old woman they said attacked her 60-year-old housemate then stole his son's vehicle over the weekend.
Just after 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 8, police received a call from a man in the 800 block of Central Avenue reporting the woman he live with had punched him, said Carl Baker, a spokesman for the Redlands Police Department. The exact relationship between the two was not disclosed.
The man told officers she had become angry when he refused to take her to San Bernardino. After striking him several times, police said she took the keys to his son's vehicle and left, Baker said.
San Bernardino police found the vehicle and returned it, undamaged, to the owner. The woman has yet to be found.

Help Nepal to fight against the Covid-19 Dr Jagannath Sharma
As the world has watched the tragic impact of Nepal's second wave Covid-19, the infections of positive caserate of pandemic have been around 45% in the last two weeks near the Indian border areas. Some have linked the country's second wave to the outbreak in neighbouring India, which began in mid-March. The two countries share an 1880-kilometre-long open land border that people easily travel back and forth across.
Hospitals across the country are overwhelmed and are experiencing critical shortages of oxygen, ventilators,hospital beds etc. People are queuing outside hospitals, seeking hospital beds where hospitals are running out of oxygen and turning away patients.
This type of scene is extremely heart-breaking and unbearable. The UK and Nepal have diplomatic ties dating over 200 years. It is estimated that around 150,000 Nepalis live in the UK. North Yorkshire including Catterick Garrison, York and surrounding areas have strong links with serving and ex-Gurkhas whose families in Nepal are directly or indirectly affected by the crisis unfolding in the country.
''Many got phone calls from Nepal asking for help, but we are helpless,'' said ex- Gurkha Yem Gurung who lives in Catterick.
Nepal's English language daily newspaper The Kathmandu post reports: "More people are in dire need of oxygen, but oxygen plants are falling short of production, as hospitals say they cannot take in new patients for lack of the life-saving gas". Sir Jeremy Farrar, the Director of the Wellcome Trust, described the current situation in Nepal as "beyond frightening".
A Humanitarian Crisis
Poor health coverage in terms of healthcare professionals such as the doctor to patient ratio (1:1724) is one of the lowest in the world. The fast-transmitted Indian variant in Nepal where the health care system is very poor as well as the country not preparing well has further overwhelmed and crushed the healthcare system. People are dying while they are seeking hospital beds or oxygen creating a major humanitarian crisis.
A doctor working in Nepal Medical College said, "Every day we get innumerable calls to admit virus-infected patients, but we can't, as we are facing shortage of oxygen supply even to those who are already admitted."Hospitals are inundated with Covid patients and relatives have been struggling to save their loved ones. Many patients are being left to die outside hospitals, some on streets on the way to the hospital due to bed shortages. A spokesperson for the Health Ministry of Nepal said, "the current oxygen production has been insufficient."
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has been providing support to monitor designated COVID-19 laboratories but more PCR testing facilities are required to timely contact and trace to reduce Covid contamination.
Appeal to the International Community
Prime Minister of Nepal, KP Sharma Oli, in an appeal to the international community through his article published in the Guardian newspaper on 10th May appealed for an urgent call for international support to fight against the Covid-19.
During this extremely difficult time in Nepal, I would like to appeal to all Councillors, Mayors and MPs in the UK to lobby the UK government to provide urgent humanitarian support to Nepal. The UK and Nepal have close historical relations, Nepali Gurkhas have been serving in the UK since the early 1800s and thousands of Ex-Gurkhas and family live in Nepal.
Nepal urgently needs oxygen, ventilators, medicines and medical equipment. We need to immediately deploy the emergency medical response teams including scientific and healthcare professional expertise to Nepal to provide advice on prevention and control as well as clinical management in this crisis. This could involve UK Emergency Medical Team through UKAID.
The UK Government should consider mobilising Gurkha regiments to set up Field Hospitals and Isolation Centres in a similar way the Gurkhas were deployed after the earthquake in Nepal in 2015.
Nepal urgently needs access to vaccines. The UK, as the current G7 Chair, could leverage its international influence to secure the vaccine supply to Nepal. 'We Gurkhas have shown our loyalty to the UK serving and protecting the UK in difficult times, now the UK Government should reciprocate this and provide urgent humanitarian support to Nepal," said Gurkha Veterans Bini Gurung and Shanta Rai.
Nepali embassy UK, Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) UK, and Kul Acharya, Advisor, NRNA ICC, are frantically mobilising the Nepali community in the UK and abroad to raise funds to buy Oxygen Concentrators. "But as a trusted friend, we look upon to the UK government to help us in this hour of need," said Acharya.
We, the Nepalese community residing in the UK including tens of thousands of ex-Gurkhas and their families, call upon Prime Minister Boris Johnson to announce a package to help Nepal fight the Covid-19 pandemic ASAP. As Director General of the WHO, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said, "Nobody is safe unless everybody is safe."

My only neice just had her 13th birthday. What an important and special time of life. It made me start thinking about when I was 13… in umm, umm 1968!
The sixties was an amazing yet turbulent time in history. And being 13, I was just starting to pay attention to the world around me. Kids slightly older than me were dying in Vietnam and I did not know why. Teenagers across America were involved in politics, having sit-ins, burning bras, enjoying "free love". I remember thinking it was all so overwhelming for me. But I knew the power of our generation.
Time has proven that the baby boomer teenagers had a huge and long lasting impact on American politics and culture.
My memory of 1968, a freshman in high school, includes an English teacher, Ms. Rutherford (possibly the first Ms. I had ever known). She was the first to encourage the writer in me.
I remember the North Vietnamese launched the Tet Offensive, a turning point in the Vietnam War. Lyndon Johnson was president and he announced he would not seek or accept presidential nomination. Martin Luther King, Jr., civil rights leader, was slain in Memphis. James Earl Ray, indicted in the King murder, was sentenced to 99 years. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was shot and critically wounded in a Los Angeles hotel after winning the California primary and died on June 6th. Richard Nixon was voted in as President.
Record of the Year was "Up, Up and Away," by the 5th Dimension. Album of the Year was (and still is) a favorite: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, by The Beatles. The rock musical Hair opened on Broadway in 1968.
Music was amazing then! I guess every generation thinks that their music is the best, but how does one argue with this list:
The Beatles, "Hey Jude" b/w "Revolution"
Marvin Gaye, "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"
The Rolling Stones, "Jumpin' Jack Flash"
Otis Redding, "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay"
Steppenwolf, "Born to Be Wild"
Archie Bell and the Drells, "Tighten Up"
The Temptations, "I Wish It Would Rain"
Tommy James and the Shondells, "Mony Mony"
Diana Ross and the Supremes, "Love Child"
Jimi Hendrix, "All Along The Watchtower".
And others like:
"Judy In Disguise" … John Fred & His Playboy Band
"Green Tambourine" … Lemon Pipers
"Love Is Blue" … Paul Mauriat
"Honey" … Bobby Goldsboro
"Mrs. Robinson" … Simon and Garfunkel
"This Guy's in Love With You" … Herb Alpert
"Grazing in the Grass" … Hugh Masekela
"Hello, I Love You" … The Doors.
Not to mention: "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" by Glen Campbell, Jose Feliciano's, "Light My Fire" and Dionne Warwick's, "Do You Know the Way to San Jose".

Das Ranji Stadium (), auch als Eden Gardens () bekannt, befindet sich in den Eden Gardens in Kalkutta und ist das älteste Cricket-Stadion in Indien. Es ist die Spielstätte des Bengal Cricket Teams und bietet nach Renovierungsarbeiten für den Cricket World Cup 2011 insgesamt 66.349 Zuschauern Platz. Nach dem Yuba Bharati Krirangan ist es das zweitgrößte Stadion in Indien.

Kapazität und Infrastruktur
Das Stadion hatte bis zu den Renovierungsarbeiten bis zum Jahr 2011 eine geschätzte Kapazität von ca. 96.000 Plätzen. Diese wurden jedoch deutlich reduziert, um die Vorgaben des International Cricket Council zur Austragung des World Cups 2011 zu erfüllen. Diese Renovierungsarbeiten waren vom Zeitplan her umstritten und führten dazu, dass das Spiel zwischen Indien und England beim Turnier verlegt wurde. Die anderen Spiele konnten jedoch gesichert werden.

Internationales Cricket
Das erste Testspiel das in den Eden Gardens ausgetragen wurde fand im Januar 1934 zwischen Indien und England statt. Seitdem fungierte es regelmäßig für Tests, ODIs und Twenty20 als Heimstadion der Indischen Nationalmannschaft. Des Weiteren wurde es für ein Vorrundenspiel und das Finale des Cricket World Cup 1987, ein Halbfinale beim Cricket World Cup 1996 und für drei Vorrundenspiele beim Cricket World Cup 2011 genutzt. Ebenso wurden hier Partien bei der ICC World Twenty20 2016 und der parallelen ICC Women's World Twenty20 2016 ausgetragen.

Verwendung in der IPL
In der Indian Premier League wird das Stadion von den Kolkata Knight Riders als Heimstadion genutzt.
