For 120 years, Dixon's Pharmacy has preserved the right balance of professionalism and community engagement in Wynyard that sets it apart from competitors in the region. This presence over time and with consistent goodwill, seems born from Dixon genetics, less showy tactics (though that too), contributing to the longevity of Dixon's standing in the community.
The support from the community might be attributed to the extra services, time- commitments and financial assistance the pharmacy provides outside of their business premise. Community groups, businesses and organisations, schools and events are all recipients of Dixon's support. Kathryn Dixon provides talks to local community groups including Senior Citizens and makes time to do a monthly broadcast on local radio COAST FM 106.1 informing people on different subjects such as diabetes, colds and flu's, vaccination, medication safety and incontinence.
Dixon's Pharmacy provides schools with information for careers too. You are also likely to enjoy the artwork from one of the surrounding schools at select times throughout the year at the shopfront, enticing local families to the store and adding aesthetic value to Wynyard's streetscape.
Dixon's Pharmacy and Wynyard Waratah Council are working together to promote a better work- lifestyle program after BP and BGL testing of staff at the council depot uncovered 30% of workers with high to severe health issues. In-store too, a number of health promotions run at various times during the year. These include free Blood Pressure testing during stroke prevention week, free Kate Morgan tastings during weight loss management week, and visual presentations promoting glaucoma, vitamin D deficiency, diabetes, Medicine Wise Awareness week that become focal points at the applicable time.
The Incontinence Club was created at Dixon's Pharmacy to encourage discussion between qualified staff and customers surrounding incontinence. This year there was a discussion session with the community. It empowered many to leave the session and head straight to the shop for more advice and products. Those unable to leave their beds at the local nursing home Wynyard Care Centre are not left missing the contemporary shopping experience that Dixon's Pharmacy has become in recent years. As well as providing residential medication management reviews and taking part in the QUM and medications management committee- not to mention the regular drug updates and training to RN's, EN's and other nursing staff at the nursing home- the residents are taken a sample of the Dixon's Pharmacy Gift Corner wares. Anything they wish to purchase is gift wrapped, tagged and returned. The kind of personal service that comes from Dixon's Pharmacy has been trusted over decades.

The Structure of Tort Law
By Nils Jansen (Professor of Civil Law and Director at the Institute of Legal History, Professor of Civil Law and Director at the Institute of Legal History, University of Munster). Translated by, Sandy Steel (Associate Professor, Associate Professor, University of Oxford).
The first English translation of a classic of German tort theory, this book analyses the theoretical foundations of tort law in historical and comparative perspective. Focusing on the tensions in modern German tort law, the book explains the historical development of tortious liability, and argues for a foundational role of outcome responsibility.
This English translation makes available to anglophone readers a modern classic of German tort theory. It argues that modern German tort law is faced with doctrinal tensions based on problematic theoretical assumptions which stem from historical conceptions of tortious liability, inappropriate to modern times. From a theoretical perspective, it argues against the prevalent doctrinal view in Germany that conceives of tortious liability as split between two tracks - a fault-based track and a strict liability track - each with different normative foundations. Instead, Jansen asserts that there is no rigid distinction between the normative foundations of each form of liability. Rather, both fault liability and strict liability in German law, and indeed other European systems, are best considered as resting upon the unifying theoretical structure of outcome responsibility. The book thus places responsibility rather than wrongdoing at the centre of the normative foundations of tort law. Historically, the book traces in detail how conceptions of tort liability have changed from Roman law to contemporary legal doctrine. It shows how particular historical understandings of the normative basis of tort law have led to continuing normative tensions in contemporary doctrine. Finally, the book examines how a reconstruction of modern German - and, indeed, European - law as based upon outcome responsibility should affect its doctrinal structure. This book makes contributions to the study of the theory, history, and doctrinal structure of tort law. While drawing on and explaining German tort law, its comparative, theoretical, and historical analysis will be of interest to scholars in all legal systems.

Brett Maher Misses Record Number Of Extra Points – Is It Time For Cowboys To Panic At Kicker?
The Dallas Cowboys are hoping it does not have a big problem at kicker for the rest of the playoffs despite a big win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.
Brett Maher, who has been nothing but reliable for the team for most of the season, missed an astounding four extra points in a game.
That broke the record for most in a playoff appearance and it was reportedly the highest number of failed attempts since 1932.
Luckily for the Cowboys, it did not cost them the game, as the team won comfortably by 17 points.
And at least for now, the organization is backing him publicly despite the chipshot misses.
Owner Jerry Jones said that team won't be looking to add a kicker despite the performance.
However, should the Cowboys be concerned after missing all of those chip shots?
This will depend on the reason why he missed them.
If he suffered an injury – then the Cowboys could be in big trouble.
In games that are decided marginally – kickers can make a big difference – especially in the playoffs.
If it's mentally related, which Jones seemed to indicate, then Maher might be able to rebound with a solid week of practice.
"This is a classic case of looking at what he's done for this team and done on the field all year, not just last night," he said.
"And, so, kicking is a technical thing. It has everything to do with the — just frankly mentally having it all together when you step up there. And, so, we'll read this thing as the week goes along. I don't want to get out over skis and get ahead of it."
In the regular season, Maher successfully made 29 out of his 32 kicks – which is more than 90% efficiency.
Of those kicks, 15 were made for 40 yards or more.
If the Cowboys do decide to pursue a kicker – there likely aren't any great options to sign at this point of the season.
So the team will hope that Monday night's meltdown was a one-time freak thing and that he will return to his old self going forward.
The Cowboys will play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET in the NFC divisional round of the playoffs.

History of Coogee Beach
Although indigenous populations have lived in Coogee Beach for centuries, the history of Coogee Beach as we know it today goes back only about 180 years. The coastal paradise of Coogee Beach has made quite the transformation over the years and it's truly a must-see. Here, we're exploring a brief history of Coogee Beach before you book a room at Sydney Lodges to experience everything this stunning beach town has to offer.
What does the name Coogee mean?
Coogee comes from the local Aboriginal word "koojay" which, ironically, means "smelly place". Only slight variations on the word exist such as the Bidjigal language meaning -- "stinking seaweed". Not to worry… if you visit Coogee Beach today, you'll experience neither a smelly place nor stinking seaweed. You're much more likely to smell the nostalgia of fish and chips or hints of sunscreen from your neighbour's slip, slop, slap routine.
When was Coogee founded?
Coogee became an official town on 12 October 1838 although, interestingly, the original spelling of this new village was Coodgee.
Right from the start, Coogee was in the business of paradise. Large beachside estates were built by Sydney's elite and some early settlers who would sell produce at the Sydney Markets made their fortunes in Coogee.
Even some original dwellings like "Oceanview', built by the Wirth's Circus family still stand at the corner of Alison Street, Arden Street and Beach Street in Coogee Beach today.
All it takes is a brief stroll through the area to find lovely heritage sites and a suburb teeming with history.
Coogee Beach Becomes a Paradise
By 1887, Coogee already began welcoming visitors with open arms as the Coogee Aquarium was opened that year with its entertainment complex expanded across an entire block.
And not long after, in the 1920s, Coogee Beach was advertised as "Australia's Most Beautiful Seaside Resort".
Although the city's reputation became tainted in the 30s due to rumours of crime and mystery, Coogee Beach is now incredibly safe. On the surface, you'd never even know the area has an underworld past.
For over 100 years, Coogee Beach accommodation has been welcoming visitors from all over, as Australians and international guests make their way to the beautiful Sydney coastline. It's a legacy we're proud to uphold here at Sydney Lodges.
Wylie's Baths, a popular ocean pool that's still enjoyed today, was built in 1907 by Henry Wylie, as an Olympic training pool for his daughter, Mina Wylie, who was one of the first two women to represent Australia at an Olympic Games, along with her friend, Fanny Durack. They first competed in the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, Fanny won gold and Mina brought home the silver medal.
Coogee Beach became the centre of a media frenzy on Anzac Day 1935 when a shark at the Coogee Aquarium tore off the tattooed arm of a man in what was later known as the "Shark Arm Murder".
Coogee Beach was heavily fortified during World War II due to fear of a Japanese attack, although these attacks never came to fruition.
Coogee Beach Today
Home to around 83,000 people, Coogee Beach remains a popular coastal destination -- and for good reason.
Visitors and residents enjoy a stunning outdoor lifestyle with everything from the iconic coastal walk from Bondi to Maroubra, passing through Coogee, to the amazing natural ocean pools, countless restaurants and cafes, and boutiques sprinkled along the main road.
A stay at one of our Sydney Lodges accommodations will help you feel like a local during your visit to Coogee Beach. Just a stone's throw from all the historical charm of Coogee Beach, our boutique hotel rooms are the perfect way to spend your coastal holiday in Sydney.
Thank you for choosing to Stay Local with Sydney Lodges and explore the history of Coogee Beach like never before!.


Garnier BB Cream "Beauty Balm"
The benefits of BB Cream VS Foundation is that BB Cream is made with a Sheer Coverage Tint that provides moisture, hydration, soothing, healing & SPF protection. The idea is that it actually provides genuine benefits for the skin - as well as providing enough coverage to be used as either a foundation or a primer, depending upon your preference.
I have been searching for a Super Moisturizing Tinted SPF Cream that would hydrate my dry skin during the winter months. My skin starts to looks dull and dry and loses that fresh, dewy, glow, as the weather starts to get cold. The indoor heat depletes moisture and completely changes the look and feel of my skin compared to summer months.
I did a lot of research on the most popular BB Cream brands for aging skin. I read hundreds of customer reviews from different websites to decide which BB Cream I was going to try. I was confident that Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector Anti-Aging BB Cream - Light/Med was going to work for me. The Garnier Anti-Aging formula only comes in Light/Med OR Med/Deep. I am not overly concerned with an exact color match as long as it is not too dark. Going lighter can usually be corrected with bronzer and blush. You can see in the above photo before I rubbed in the color on my jaw line, it is not an exact match. It did blend perfectly once I rubbed it in.
The Anti-Aging Light/Med was darker than I had expected but it was perfect or my skin tone. Someone a few shades lighter or darker could use this color. I am not sure if it would work for extremely pale, white skin tones. I will probably purchase the Med/Deep for the summer months because my body will be darker from being outside in the sun. You can also mix colors to create the perfect shade for you.
In this photo I am wearing Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector Anti-Aging BB Cream - Light/Med - I am also wearing Talc-Free Mineral Airbrushing Bronzer SPF 30.
This Anti-Aging BB Cream does everything that I was looking for. It feels light on my skin and it puts the glow back into my dry skin. I am happy with the coverage, however I am not crazy about the scent. To me, that is irrelevant compared to the benefits. To apply BB Cream you can use your fingers, a sponge, or makeup brush. I prefer using my fingers to blend the cream into my face like moisturizer.
BB Creams are not created to be a full coverage foundation. However, you can easily achieve more coverage by applying layers of BB Cream and dabbing more product onto specific areas. BB Creams are not made to change the color of your skin. The purpose of BB Cream OR Foundation is to even out your skin tone.
Notice the light reflecting off of my skin. This BB Cream gives your skin a dewy, hydrated glow. I personally love this youthful glowing look. If you prefer a more matte look you can use a pressed powder. My favorite is Revlon ColorStay Pressed Powder (med/deep). I tend to use this more in the summer when my skin is more hydrated, but it works great over this BB Cream.
For additional coverage I use concealer. Just dot a tiny bit on discoloration to even out skin tone after BB Cream is applied. My favorite is Maybelline Super Stay 24hr Concealer - Light. To add color or contouring to your skin you can use a bronzer and/or blush. My favorite bronzer is Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Airbrushing Bronzer SPF 30. I use my own foam sponge. For blush I use Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Airbrushing Blush SPF 30.
I found this great review on a blog called ellesees.blogspot.com.
Here you can get an idea of different Formulas and Colors that are available.
Thank you for letting me link to your post Elle!
Resources like the one you mentioned here will be very useful to me! Thanks for the informative post about anti aging and beauty product.I bookmark this.

Evy And James Darren's Honeymoon
They'd had a few heavenly days together—Evy and Jim—on this lovely isle of Rhodes in the blue Aegean sea, off Greece. Now Evy Norlund Darren sat forlornly on a bench outside a little shop. The sun was golden on her face, but she wasn't noticing its delicious warmth. Not even the picturesque little donkeys passing with their burdens, or the color and stir of the ancient town, could move her. Sitting there alone on her honeymoon—she fell lonely. Everything and everybody had been warm and wonderful on their visit home to Copenhagen to meet her folks, and then to Italy to took up relatives of Jim's, before coming here. It had been a happy and exciting time. But now, with Jimmy gone every day from dawn to dark to work on the picture, she was so alone.
Looking at her watch, she saw that it was only noon. What would she do until seven or eight tonight, when, finally, Jim would come home to their seaside bungalow?
The first few days on Rhodes, they had walked hand in hand, kicking off their shoes to go barefoot on the sand, and ridden donkeys to the steep summit of the ancient Lindos Acropolis, explored the medieval city of Rhodes, picked delicious juicy oranges in the groves outside the quaint village of Archangelos, with its small white houses.
And every day, a hundred times a day, Evy would sigh, "This is the most marvelous honeymoon a girl could dream of. Oh, Jim, I'm so happy. I love you like crazy!"
Sitting on the bench with her chin in her hand, Evy wondered, how can everything change so in a few weeks? Now, Jim had to leave at four and five every morning, to prepare for the day's shooting on "The Guns of Navarone," being made here in this beautiful blue Aegean setting. He'd be gone all day, coming home late and exhausted. But there was no time to rest. No time to be together in peace and quiet. They had to get dinner over with fast, so Jim could study for tomorrow's shooting. Every night, they walked to the huge dining room of the Miramare Hotel, ate, walked back to the bungalow—and so to work, with Evy watching him study, or trying to help him. And wondering what she'd do with herself, again, all day tomorrow.
Now, looking at her watch and seeing it was only noon, she sighed. The same old problem—what to do with so much time—and no Jim to share it. And why did she have a feeling that someone was staring at her? She looked around, and then she saw the woman in the doorway of the little shop. She was not young, but handsome with her dark eyes and coal-black hair drawn smoothly into a chignon.
The woman smiled at the blond girl sit-ting on her bench. In heavily accented English, she asked, "You have come to see me?" Evy stared, puzzled, and shook her head.
"Why no," she said, "I was just—sitting."
"Ah so," the woman said. "Alone?"
"Well—yes." Somehow, Evy didn't like to say so . . .
"And you are feeling very lonely." It wasn't a question, it was a statement of fact. And of course it was true, but Evy felt strange about having a perfect stranger know this about her. It was as if she were a mind-reader.
Mind reader. Suddenly it came to Evy who this woman was. Of course! This must be the dressmaker that Gia Scala had told her about. The dressmaker who, if she took to you, also told your fortune. What was her name again? Oh, yes—Kyria Eleni.
Evy asked her, "Are you by any chance Kyria Eleni?" At the nod of yes, Evy smiled and said, "My friend, Gia Scala, spoke of you."
Kyria said in a pleased voice, "Oh, so you did come to see me."
Now Evy didn't know what to say. To say No would sound rude. But to say Yes would mean to go in the shop, discuss a dress to be made, and start fittings—and maybe end up having your fortune told. "I don't want my fortune told," Evy thought to herself. "I don't believe in it! I'm not superstitious, but I just don't think it's right to know what's ahead before God lets it happen."
Flustered, Evy said aloud, "I . . . I can't stay now. I have an appointment that I must keep in a few minutes. I . . . I'll be back some other time." But, as she said goodbye and walked away, she knew she was only making polite excuses. She had no intention of coming back. At least that's what she thought.
So Evy went back to her occupation of killing the long hours each day and waiting lonesomely for Jimmy to come home each evening. The other wives, Veronique Peck and Hjordis Niven and Dorothy Quayle, were all busy with their children. Evy offered to help them, but they all had nursemaids and didn't need help. She read a lot but there was never a time to discuss, with Jim, the book she was reading, because in the evenings she must be quiet while he studied his lines. She took walks, but looking at lovely scenery without Jim didn't give her heart the same lift as when she was with him. She went to the beach, only a few minutes' walk from the bungalow, and lay in the sun after brief dips. But Jimmy wasn't sprawled contentedly beside her on the big, bright beach towel, and so the beach wasn't bliss.
Denmark was fun
"That's why Denmark was so much fun," Evy thought. "Jimmy was with me every minute." Wistfully, she remembered the happy greetings at the Copenhagen airport where they were met by Mama and Papa Norlund and Evy's three sisters—redheaded Yana, blond Inger and brunette Annie. And what a gay feast was waiting for the honeymooners at the apartment: a marvelous smorgasbord of smoked sturgeon, black caviar, of tiny meatballs, and white fish, shrimps, and all kinds of salads. Everything tasted different from Jim's favorite Italian dishes, but he sampled everything and enjoyed it, praising it till his mother-in-law beamed.
There was only one thing wrong, she remembered—Jimmy's discomfort because her dad wasn't an easy man to get close to, and this her warmhearted bridegroom couldn't understand. "You have to get to know Papa," she'd whispered to Jimmy whenever he got uneasy that his father-in-law had nothing to say to him. "He's sweet, but he's shy, because words come hard to him."
That was when she had the bright idea to let food help bridge the gap between the two so different men. Daddy enjoyed food—and wasn't there a saying, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach"? So she asked Jimmy, "Why don't we cook the folks a dinner tonight, darling? A real good Italian meal." And he agreed.
"Wait till you taste my husband's native cooking," she told her family proudly, as she and Jim set out gaily to buy the makings. All afternoon they wandered, hand in hand, through the colorful market stalls for tomatoes and the right cheeses, for spaghetti and veal and everything else they needed.
They came home and put everyone out of the kitchen. Together they cooked, laughed, and kissed, and the meal came out perfect.
For an appetizer, they served an antipasto of olives, celery and sliced cold cuts, and for the entree they prepared veal parmigiana, which made a big hit. There were side dishes of spaghetti a la oleo and a crisp tossed salad. And plenty of crusty Italian bread.
But it was the pizza that did it!
They'd been sitting talking for hours—so much to say in a week—until everyone got hungry again. So Evy and Jim went back to the kitchen. It was Jimmy who knew how to turn Danish muffins into little individual pizzas, and Evy just followed directions. When they were served, everybody "ummed," they were so delicious.
And, in the middle of the raves, Mr. Norlund broke down and said, "I never tasted anything like this before. Aren't they good, Mama?"
Mrs. Norlund beamed on Jimmy. "I want the recipe," she said.
"Ah, you're just flattering me," Jim grinned at her.
And Evy's father, sitting contented with another pizza in his hand, made what was for him quite a speech. Right to Jimmy, he made it. "It's nice," he said, "to look around and see everybody so happy. Especially my Evy. She brought us a good son, a fine son, my boy." And after that the two men found a hundred things in common to talk about.
Later, alone, Evy giggled and whispered to Jimmy. "Who would ever dream that all it took was a piece of pizza to break the ice between you and Papa?"
Jimmy whispered back, "You dreamed it, you little witch!" And kissed her. He was happy. Now he felt part of the whole family, and it made Evy feel that much closer to him because he had such good strong feelings about families. "I love you, Jimmy," she told him, close in his arms. "I never want to be away from you for one hour of my life."
And then they had flown off to Rome. Together, they had looked up distant relatives of Jimmy's, and enjoyed their warm hospitality. They spent a golden week basking in the sun, or driving through the winding roads in the hilly dark, green countryside to admire the pink stucco villas with their breathtaking rose gardens.
Then loneliness set in
Then they had come to Rhodes where, after a few luxurious days, the picture-making started—and the honeymoon was ended! The loneliness set in.
When the reading palled, and the empty hours on the beach, when embroidery produced nothing but a lot of pricked fingers and bloodstains on the fabric, Evy decided to go to Kyria Eleni after all. If she was as wonderful a dressmaker as Gia Scala said, it was silly to go home without a few of her dresses. And it would be something to do . . . someone to talk to.
And, indeed, Kyria always talked as she fitted Evy. She talked through a bunch of straight pins clenched between her teeth. "Broken pins-and-needles English," Evy called it, and came to enjoy the conversations very much. Kyria asked her about the United States and Denmark. And Evy asked all about Greece, the ancient and beautiful country Kyria loved passionately. By the time they were started on the second dress, they knew and liked each other very well.
Until, one day, Kyria asked, "You are still lonely, no?"
Evy hedged. "Oh, a little."
"Your husband . . . he is away all day?"
Evy was ashamed to complain. "He's very busy with the movie," she said. "It's a wonderful, wonderful role for him, and I'm happy about it."
"But you . . . what are you doing?" Kyria Eleni took a pin from her mouth and fitted the violet linen skirt tighter around Evy's waist.
"Oh," Evy tried to appear nonchalant, "I read and swim a little, and I take naps . . . and I come here!"
"But you miss him . your husband, eh?"
Evy wished Kyria Eleni would stop. It was all getting too personal.
But Kyria Eleni persisted. "Do you?"
"Well," Evy answered, "I guess I'm just like anybody else that's in love. I . . . I look forward to being with Jimmy."
"I've been married," Kyria Eleni said, "I know."
Evy wasn't sure what Kyria was getting at, so she didn't answer.
"Let me make you a cup of Greek coffee," Kyria said, "and we'll sit outside while I tell you something."
Evy waited on the sunny veranda with its black grillwork fence until Kyria came out with a silver tray. She served Evy a spoonful of rose-petal jam on a white china saucer. Then she poured a demitasse cup of Greek coffee from the long-handled brass jezbeh.
The two of them, sitting in the hot, dry sunshine of Rhodes, sipped the coffee slowly. Finally, Kyria Eleni spoke. "I know you are very much in love. I see it in your face. And it's wonderful. But, my dear, you are now going to have to face yourself—and this isn't easy."
A honeymoon doesn't last forever
Evy finished her coffee, Kyria Eleni reached over, took Evy's cup, turned it over in the saucer. "I'm going to read your coffee grounds," she said.
She turned the cup right side up again and closely scanned the grounds that stuck in it. "Hmmm," she murmured, "you will have money." She paused. "And love." She frowned. "And you will suffer a personal disappointment with your career."
"But how can you see all that—in a cup?"
"It's what I've been taught. Little signs show me your future."
Evy didn't mean to laugh, it wasn't polite, but somehow the giggle escaped. But Kyria wasn't offended.
"Just wait," she said serenely, "you will see. But this is not so important as what I want to tell you that is not in the cup—that I have learned from life."
She sounded so darkly mysterious, that Evy wasn't sure she wanted to hear it. But, finally, she half-whispered, "What? What did you learn?"
The dressmaker-fortune teller leaned forward intently. "That a honeymoon can not go on forever."
Evy felt like a small girl who had been scolded.
"I never said it could!" she cried.
Evy nearly choked as she swallowed hard. How could Kyria Eleni know her innermost feelings like this?
"What you must learn, my dear, is that your husband will always have his work. And while he works, you must make a life for yourself so both of you can be happy."
"What am I supposed to do?"
Evy asked. Her curiosity was piqued now.
But Kyria answered her question with another.
"I . . . I'm an actress," Evy offered shyly, "so I guess I want to act."
"Remember, I warned you," Kyria replied quickly, "about a disappointment in your career."
"Oh," Evy said. And then, just as quickly, "It doesn't matter. I'd rather have children than be an actress."
"Then you will give yourself to motherhood," Kyria nodded approvingly. "But now while you wait, what will you do?"
"I . . I don't know."
"Think about it," Kyria Eleni said. She rose, picked up the silver tray with the silver and china and the cup with Evy's fortune in it. "And remember what I tell you: that in life the worst thing is to do nothing, to sit and wait for something to happen. It never does. You have to make it happen. You have to find something which gives you happiness when you're by yourself—even if it's all day. Even if it's all day and all night for weeks and months and years at a time."
Evy rode back on the bumpy little bus, lost in thought over Kyria's words. By the time she got out, she felt, "I know what she means! She doesn't mean I have to keep busy with a pottery course or a job—or even a baby yet. If I can just change my own feelings about the loneliness and the waiting and not be unhappy about it. Because if I am, it'll only make Jimmy unhappy, and spoil everything.
Their new happiness
By seven o'clock, Evy was freshened up with a shower and a crisp change of dress, waiting. But Jim was later than ever tonight. When he came, he walked in so wearily that Evy's heart turned over with a kind of ache for him.
"Sit down a few minutes. Honey," she said after their hello kiss, "and I'll bring you some cold lemonade. We don't have to rush to the hotel."
He drank it gratefully and asked, "What kind of a day did you have, Sweetheart?"
Evy looked at him and thought, "Isn't he nice, asking me that when he'd worked so hard?"
She smiled at him and said, "Oh, Honey, I had a wonderful day! I went to the beach, and I shopped, and to the dress-maker—she's making me some lovely things." But she didn't tell him the rest—the fortune telling. That was her own secret.
Tired as he was, Jim smiled and said, "I'm glad you're so contented here, Evy. It's a load off my mind to know you're not bored and lonely."
Oh I love him, Evy thought. He's so good and sweet. I adore him.
They went to the hotel for dinner. And then, before going back to the bungalow, they walked by the water. Evy leaned her head against Jim's shoulder in the deepening dusk, and her hand was in his.
It was only a little walk, a few minutes, but it was enough to make her happy and content to sit quietly the rest of the evening while Jim studied tomorrow's lines. And he was content too—working with his Evy sitting near him.
They didn't dream, that night, what further happiness was in store for them. That before they left the island of Rhodes, late in the summer, a baby would be on its way for them. And that while she was waiting, Evy would have her opportunity to be an actress again—she'd get a small part in Jimmy's picture.
All of this may have been in the coffee grounds, but Kyria Eleni wasn't telling—and that was very wise of her. For, without knowing any of it, Evy had arrived at great happiness and peace of mind. She and Jimmy were on their kind of a honeymoon—the kind that lasts.

China says opposes 'unhelpful' unilateral North Korea sanctions
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his Japanese counterpart that China opposes "unhelpful" unilateral sanctions on North Korea but will work within the United Nations to formulate a necessary response to its fifth nuclear test.
China has expressed anger with North Korea for its largest nuclear test to date last week, but has not said directly whether it will support tougher sanctions.
China has said it believes sanctions are not the ultimate answer and called for a return to talks.
Wang told Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida that China opposed the nuclear test, and that it is willing to work with other permanent members of the UN Security Council to "come up with a necessary response to the new changes to the situation on the peninsula", China's Foreign Ministry said late on Wednesday.
"With all sides focused on the authoritative channel of the Security Council, China opposes unilateral sanctions that are unhelpful to resolving the issue," the statement paraphrased Wang as saying, without elaborating.
A U.S. special envoy for North Korea, Sung Kim, met Japanese officials on Sunday and said the United States may launch unilateral sanctions against North Korea, echoing comments by U.S. President Barack Obama last Friday.
Japan's Foreign Ministry said Kishida said the nuclear test was unforgivable and a direct, grave threat to Japanese security, and asked China for a constructive response as a responsible permanent member of the Security Council.
China is isolated North Korea's most important diplomatic backer and biggest trading partner, but frustrated with repeated nuclear and missile tests it has signed on to increasingly tough UN sanctions and insisted it is complying with them. (Courtesy Reuters)

Dobson claims third British Composer Award
Simon Dobson has won his third British Composer Award for his major brass band work, 'The Turing Test'.
Simon Dobson has now won three British Composer Awards
Simon Dobson has won his third British Composer Award. It was presented to the Cornishman at a high profile event hosted by BBC Radio 3 at the British Museum in London.
His work, 'The Turing Test', inspired by the life and work of the brilliant, but tragic mathematician, computer scientist and cryptanalyst, Alan Turing, won the award in the 'Wind Band and Brass Band' category. It follows the success enjoyed by his 'A Symphony of Colours' (2010) and 'Journey of the Lone Wolf' (2014).
The work was nominated alongside compositional colleagues Lucy Pankhurst for her 'Mindscape' and Gavin Higgins for his 'Dark Arteries Suite'.
"I'm just blown away," Simon told 4BR on the morning after what he described was "a simply fantastic night".
"To be nominated is an honour in itself, especially when it was alongside my friends Gavin and Lucy whose brilliant work I admire so much.
It says a great deal I think that for the first time all three nominated pieces were for the brass band medium. That is something all three of us were very proud of."
He added: "It really was a massive surprise, and my thanks go to everyone involved in getting the work commissioned, published and performed.
Alan Turing is a man who should also be honoured by the nation, so I hope in a small way my composition and the award allows people to understand a little more about the huge contribution he made to us all."
Intolerance and ignorance
Written for Brass Band Willebroek and given its world premiere by them at the 2016 Belgian National Championship, 'The Turing Test' has since been performed around the world, with its UK premiere given in 2018.
Turing is considered the father of modern computational science; his pioneering work on mathematical theories ultimately leading to the cracking of the Nazi Enigma Machine code. However, his life ended in tragedy with his suicide — a victim of intolerance and ignorance towards his homosexuality.
Dobson's work, although non-programmatic, seeks to detail something of the emotion and colour of Turing's life — from his imagined beginnings into bio-digital life forms (AI) and his entry into the scientific community, to his ever more complex solutions to ever more deadly war time problems.
Alan Turing is a man who should also be honoured by the nation, so I hope in a small way my composition and the award allows people to understand a little more about the huge contribution he made to us allSimon Dobson
Speaking at the event Nigel Elderton, PRS Chairman, said: "Congratulations from all of us at PRS for Music to the well-deserved winners from this year's British Composer Awards, and thank you for the fantastic music you create which continues to enrich our lives."
Simon was in good company on the night with other multiple award winners Sir Harrison Birtwistle, Judith Weir and Rebecca Saunders.
GRAMMY follow up?
The composer could round off a memorable week or this Friday when the 'long list' nominations for the 61st GRAMMY Awards are announced in America on Friday.
His musical link to the Florida rock group Alter Bridge has been tipped by critics to be listed.

Looking for some inspiration for your next apartment decorating project? Here are a few layouts that caught our eye. These apartments feature minimalist themes, white furnishings, genius floorplans, and incredibly clever shared living solutions. Check them out! Maybe you'll get some ideas.
This apartment is equal parts minimalist and feminine. The hardwood floor and basic white walls make the space entirely customizable with hints of color coming from throw pillows, artwork, and an array of houseplants. The space seems to have quite a bit of natural light coming from the windows, which hits beautifully off of the white furnishings. The hardwood countertop in the kitchen looks clean and polished against the white cabinets, as do the rest of the wooden furnishings against her crisp white theme.
This apartment was designed with young love in mind—specifically for a young couple starting out in their first home. The space is divided into separate "zones" without putting up walls, so the couple can spend time together in their home while maintaining their personal space. The lofted bed area with the shared workspace is particularly enviable, as is the heavenly-looking fluffy grey comforter. The dining space is small and intimate, the perfect size for a candlelit dinner or a sunny brunch, and the door offers the option for some alone-time. The color-scheme is neutral with pops of color here and there, which sounds like a great compromise!
Three girls share this 500-sqaure-foot space in Toronto, Ontario; and they've made an art of it. Each has a different taste: Bohemian vs Victorian vs Mid-Century. But they've managed to compromise in a way that includes everyone, and it looks great. A gorgeous Victorian-style blue area rug takes center stage in their "family room," which is lined with bookshelves and includes a cozy window seat, where the girls enjoy curling up with a good book and a record playing. Their kitchen is narrow, but provides plenty of counter space, and the white furnishing and wood floors make the space look much bigger than it is.
This gorgeous little apartment in Sweden looks huge, thanks to its minimalist layout. The kitchen, with its sleek all-white furnishings, is elevated over the living room, which adds dimension to the small space. Various large windows and the reflection off of the white walls and furniture offer an abundance of natural light. The fireplaces in the living room and bedroom give the apartment a cozy feel, while fresh flowers and striped rugs give the space a light, airy vibe.


Success Is Your Birthright God's Success takes us on a spiritual, emotional, and inspirational expedition, prodding and challenging us to think, feel, and explore. This expedition forces us to appraise or reappraise our views, values, and traditions as well as misinformation shaped as truth.
The biblical Joseph Story is the basis for this expedition. Never before has this story been told with such passion and conviction. Those familiar and unfamiliar with this story come away with a profound perspective. Joseph becomes more than a biblical personality. The author cleverly brings him to life by paralleling our experiences with Joseph's personal roller coaster. We, then, associate him with ourselves.
As Joseph's biography unfolds, his difficult moments become very apparent. His character stands up and out, during those moments, instilling uncompromising hope. Within the storyline, there are several, simultaneous threads weaving this tapestry - success, coping with life's roller coaster, God, humanity, and religion.
Society focuses on success' smallest facet, materialism. Tucker broadens our concept of success. Success, here, is an inclusive, selfless attitude that celebrates common everyday feats of courage, love, common kindness, respect, and perseverance. Its linchpin is God.
God's desire for relationship with us is profound. Relationship is measured by His standard of morality, right, and responsibility. Relationship with God hinges on loving Him, and "love thy neighbor as thyself." To love yourself is to love and serve others. There lies our humanity.
Success Is Your Birthright God's Success is a captivating appraisal, making it hard to put down. We discover life's beauty and the confidence to bounce back from life's unpredictable moments.
I am a family man, and I love my family dearly. When I am not writing, I spend a good bit of my time with them. Family, for me, is quite extensive. They inspire me in many ways. LaShanda, my wife, is its crown jewel. She unselfishly loves and encourages me. I am truly blessed.
Additionally, I am a man of faith. I do not say that lightly. Faith, for me, has nothing to do with religion rather a relationship with Yahweh [God] and service to others. I am working diligently to be a hearer and doer of our Father's will and following the pattern of His messenger Yahshua [Jesus], Son and Servant of God.
Like all believers, I am in God's classroom. None of us are really scholars, rather students at various stages in our relationship with Him. As a student, I am continuing to rehash past materials, digging deeper into the Bible, and allowing God to use daily experiences and encounters as my laboratory to learn of Him and His will. God through time, prayer, and reading and re-reading scriptures has provided me with some spiritual revelation. Studying has helped me to connect the Old and New Testaments, and led to researching historical references. Strabo's Geography, Book XVI, Chapter 2, for example, sheds some light on Paul's physical description being associated with an Egyptian revolutionist in Acts 21:38.
I plan to write more. For those aspiring writers, I encourage you not to be intimidated by the writing process and let Yahweh guide you. Publish even if you have to self-publish. Unfortunately, book reviewers, the media, and some bloggers tilt toward celebrity names and large publishing houses. Many good writers' works consequently do not get the attention warranted. As more Indie authors and self-publishers put out good work, their voices will be heard.
Success Is Your Birthright God's Success can be purchased on Amazon, or Barnes&Noble in Softcover or Kindle Format.


Background: Many translational MR biomarkers derive from measurements of the longitudinal relaxation rate R1, but evidence for between-site reproducibility of R1 in small-animal MRI is lacking. Objective: To assess R1 repeatability and multi-site reproducibility in phantoms for preclinical MRI. Methods: R1 was measured by saturation recovery in 2% agarose phantoms with five nickel chloride concentrations in 12 magnets at 5 field strengths in 11 centres on two different occasions within 1-13 days. R1 was analysed in three different regions of interest, giving 360 measurements in total. Root-mean-square repeatability and reproducibility coefficients of variation were calculated. Relaxivities were calculated. Results: Day-to-day repeatability (N=180 regions of interest) was 2.3%. Between-centre reproducibility (N=9 centres) was 1.4%. The relaxivity of aqueous Ni2+ in 2% agarose varied between 0.66 s-1mM-1 at 3T and 0.94 s-1mM-1 at 11.7T.

Ulaanbaatar, September 16 (MONTSAME) Mongolia's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Poland A.Ganbaatar has been invited to the sixth international documentary film festival dedicated to the anti-communist combat.
The action ran in Gdynia on September 11-12. The invitation was a high recognition of the Ambassador's contribution to the fight for the democracy and to a cooperation between the two countries' democratic communities, stated the Polish side. Other attendants included honored guests from France, Hungary, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Belarus, Lithuania and the USA.
The documentary named "Traces of Mongolia" by G.Patsek and A.Golenbevski was presented. It has been created based on documents gathered in 1999, when officials from the Polish "Solidarity" labour union visited Mongolia to support the democratic movement.
After the festival, the Ambassador also had a meeting with the organizers and was interviewed by the Polish media.

Ryan Electorate: COVID-19

Julian Simmonds (Ryan, Liberal National Party) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
The impact of COVID restrictions on businesses has been profound, but so too has been their resilience and adaptability. Particularly in my electorate of Ryan, small and medium businesses that have been dealt severe blows have adapted, have changed, have rejigged and resourced to redesign their entire business model to ensure they can continue to serve their local community. I know how much this has been appreciated by the local community, because they have reached out and have spoken to me about how much it means just to get a takeaway coffee and a bit of a chat during these anxious times. So, I wanted to give a few shout-outs to local businesses in my electorate of Ryan, and their staff, who have done a tremendous job continuing to serve their communities—good people like Pramesh at Cafe Tara at The Gap. Normally, Cafe Tara does dine-in meals, but he's had to adapt. He and his family are now cooking traditional Indian takeaway, which is so successful that you have to book weeks in advance to make sure you get your meal. Or Luke and the team at Suburban Social in Chapel Hill. They're a small but popular local bar, who, following the restrictions, have not been able to do dine-in and have completely changed their model to a drive-through service. They have worked with their suppliers to put together produce boxes that people could pick up from the drive-through service. There are people like Dean and the team at JAX Tyres at Mitchelton—locally franchised, employing locals. They know that cars still need to be serviced and tyres still need to be fixed at this time, but, to allay the fears of people as to coming into the workshop, they now offer to pick up your car, return it to your door and sanitise it as well.
Gyms were required to shut—unlike other businesses, like cafes that could still open for takeaways—so they have had to adapt significantly. But local gyms in Ryan know how important physical exercise is to people's mental health, particularly at this time. So people like Lisa and the team at F45 gym in Pullenvale and Indooroopilly have been offering live training through Zoom and pre-recorded daily sessions for their regular clients.
The restrictions—as worthy, important and worthwhile as they have been—have taken a toll on families, individuals and business owners. Today the Morrison government makes an important announcement: to appoint the country's first deputy chief medical officer for mental health. It is vital that mental health, particularly during this anxious time, be elevated as a priority, as this announcement will ensure it is. We can't allow our fellow Australians to succumb to anxiety in isolation when there is support available to them. I have reached out to every person in my electorate of Ryan this week, through their mailboxes, to outline the support resources available to them, and I encourage residents in Ryan who are doing it tough to speak up, reach out and receive the support that is available to them and that we all need from time to time.

Academic research funded by NERC looking at better scientific data on Heathrow area NO2 pollution
Date added: October 6, 2016
The NERC (National Environment Research Centre) has funded independent research by a group of university academics into the NO2 air pollution. Heathrow has not paid for it. They have been using a larger number of pollution sensors, in different places, to contribute scientific data on levels of air pollution. They hope to be able to distinguish between NO2 from Heathrow itself, and from road traffic or that blown in from elsewhere. At several sites, the levels of NO2 are already above EU limits (40 µg/m3 over a year). The aim of the research is to test models to ensure they accord with reality. Past work done for the Airports Commission relied on estimates, whereas this latest work used more accurate, real-world measurements. The research is ongoing and there is no report yet, but it is likely that in a month or so the findings will be submitted to one or other journal, for peer review before publication. The study is on NO2 and has not looked at particulates in the same detail. One of the authors said the study does not say anything new – it is merely looking at the situation in an independent, purely scientific way, rather than (as has been done in the past) just extrapolating and predicting by modelling. The existence of the work, is being interpreted by others to mean that air pollution from road vehicles will reduce (less NO2 from new diesels, and there will be more electric vehicles) in future, so a 3rd Heathrow runway might not lead to illegal NO2 levels. The authors say they have just done research – interpretation is for others.
The BBC jumped the gun on this story – reporting that the study implies there would be no problem with air pollution from a Heathrow runway. That is not a conclusion that can be justified from the study, as yet. Below:
Heathrow runway 'within EU pollution laws'
By Richard Westcott. Transport correspondent, BBC News
New, independent research seen by the BBC suggests Heathrow airport could build a new runway without breaking European pollution laws.
[Personal communication with one of the lead researchers: The results are not yet in any form of report. They were in a presentation, seen by the BBC among others. The research is not yet concluded, and may take another month or so. The findings will then be submitted to one or other journal, for peer review before publication. The study is on NO2 and has not looked at particulates in the same detail. The author said the study does not say anything new – it is merely looking at the situation in an independent and purely scientific way, rather than (as has been done in the past) just extrapolating and predicting by modelling. The previous predictions of air quality have been written in an arcane way, very difficult for the layperson to understand. The study is funded by NERC].
The study measured poisonous nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels using 40 sensors in and around the airport.
It then used modelling to predict what would happen in the future.
Ministers will decide within weeks whether to enlarge Heathrow or rival Gatwick and the environmental impact will play a big part in that decision.
The work was led by the University of Cambridge and has no formal links to any airport or the government.
Prof Rod Jones from the University of Cambridge told the BBC: "If there is the development of a third runway, we expect there to be a marginal increase in NO2 coming from the airport itself, but that would be against the background of reduced NO2 from other traffic, because of Euro 6 engines and electrification of the traffic fleet."
In other words, it comes down to traffic on the roads, rather than planes in the air, because that is where the bulk of the poisonous nitrogen dioxide gases come from.
As new, cleaner car, lorry and bus engines become more common, pollution levels should decline, wiping out any increase from a bigger Heathrow.
Prof Jones said using lots of smaller sensors, dotted in hard to reach places, gave them a clearer picture of what was going on.
"By deploying a network of sensors we can tell directly from the measurements, what's been emitted locally from Heathrow airport and what's been blown in, mostly from central London. That's the real strength of the sensor network," he said.
"The major result from this study is that we have tested the models far more critically than you can from a single measurement site."
Currently, the air has climbed above European health limits at several sites near Heathrow. This work suggests that as cleaner engines kick in levels will fall again.
It is a conclusion that tallies broadly with previous research for the government, but that research relied on estimates, whereas this latest work used more accurate, real-world measurements.
Opponents think air quality is the Achilles heel for Heathrow expansion and could be where it is challenged in the courts. That is what happened the last time they wanted to build a third runway.
[….. more general stuff on May etc ….. ]
This latest, million-pound research was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and alongside Cambridge, experts from the universities of Manchester and Hertfordshire, Imperial College London, CERC Limited and the National Physics lab where involved.
Heathrow helped them put the sensors up and British Airways provided some flight data, but neither handed over any money or were involved in the actual work.
Government silence
Last December, the government told the BBC it had to go away and double-check a few things before making a decision, claiming it was "subject to further consideration on environmental impacts and the best possible mitigation measures".
I have asked, but they won't tell me what they've been checking for nigh on a year. And I'm not the only one.
….. and there is more on other topics ….

New research on Heathrow air pollution not convincing
6 October 2016 (Client Earth)
Reports on new research have today suggested that Heathrow airport could build a new runway without breaking European pollution laws.
Reacting to the report ClientEarth CEO James Thornton said:
"When making the decision on Heathrow the government has a moral and legal duty to protect people's health and ensure they have the right to breathe clean air.
"It shouldn't base its decision on optimistic modelling at best and a naive view of the car industry that has proven time and time again it can't be trusted to bring levels of air pollution down.
Heathrow air pollution must be cut drastically
"The government's own report recently showed that diesel cars are emitting on average six times the legal limits when tested on the roads. They have even admitted one of the reasons we have toxic air is because car makers have failed to meet legal emissions limits."
"Last year the UK Supreme Court ordered the government to draw up new plans that would bring air pollution in London within legal limits as soon as possible.
"Even without expansion, the area around Heathrow will continue to be in breach of legal pollution limits until 2025. Air pollution around the airport needs to be cut drastically before we can think about expansion."

Updated air quality plan insufficient to address Heathrow challenge
Comment from the AEF (Aviation Environment Federation)
Air pollution around Heathrow has been in breach of legal limits for many years and could prove a significant barrier to expansion. At the time of the Airports Commission's recommendation this summer, the Government's modelling indicated that breaches of the NO2 limit in London would continue until and perhaps beyond 2030. Under the Airports Commission's plan a new runway could be operational by 2025, and would be likely to further worsen air quality in the Heathrow area.
Defra has, however, now published an updated air quality 'plan', drawn up in response to the Supreme Court ruling in April that the Government's strategy would fail to achieve EU legal limits in the 'shortest time possible' and must be improved. Under the revised plan, NO2 would be within legal limits by 2025 throughout London.
But the difference compared with the earlier plan appears to relate almost entirely to new, more optimistic assumptions being made about emissions from diesel vehicles rather than to any new policies or strategies at a national level. The only significant new proposal relates to the formation by local authorities of Clean Air Zones, similar to the London Ultra Low Emission Zone, in which access to the most polluting vehicles could be restricted.
AEF considers both that the plan fails to demonstrate convincingly that the UK is taking sufficient action to meet legal limits, and that they will in any case need to be redrawn to take account of the emissions associated with Heathrow expansion, should Government give the project a green light. A decision on this is expected by the end of the year. We recently signed a joint letter to the Government about Heathrow expansion and air pollution.
We have submitted comments (some by way of the online form and some, given the limitations of this format, directly to the Environment Minister) arguing that Defra should:
Set out in detail why its previous forecasts for emissions from diesel vans were wrong and what gives it confidence that the new, much more optimistic, figures are accurate
Commit to redrawing the air quality plan to take account of the impact of Heathrow expansion should the Government give the project its approval.
Make clear that planning consent should not be granted to a project (a) that will worsen air quality in an area where breaches to either current or likely future air quality limits are already anticipated or (b) where there is a significant risk of it causing breaches to either current or likely future limits.

http://www.aef.org.uk/2015/11/12/updated-air-quality-plan-insufficient-to-address-heathrow-challenge/
AEF said:
From "Comments from the Aviation Environment Federation on Defra's "consultation on draft plans to improve air quality: tackling nitrogen dioxide in our towns and cities", September 2015
The relevance of this work for potential expansion at Heathrow
Our interest as an organisation is limited to the environmental effects of aviation, which includes the air pollution associated with both aircraft and airports (including surface access for both people and freight).
While emissions even at lower levels than those currently legislated for by the EU can harm health, and we support measures to improve air quality around all UK airports, it is only on the roads around Heathrow that emissions are known to consistently breach legal limits.
The Government is nevertheless currently considering whether or not to accept the advice of the Airports Commission (AC) to expand the airport – a development that would, the AC admits, worsen air quality compared with baseline forecasts.
At the time of the AC's final publication, such breaches were anticipated to continue beyond the opening date of a new runway, with emissions very significantly over the annual mean NO2 limit of 40μg/m3 .
The unmitigated forecast for 2030 at Bath Road is, based on Defra modelling, 47.4 µg/m3 without expansion or 48.7 µg/m3 if a North West runway was to be built1 . (Table 9.4, Airports Commission Final Report, July 2015 https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/440316/airports-commissionfinal-report.pdf#page=196 )
An effective package of mitigation measures beyond those currently anticipated, the Commission says, could collectively reduce NO2 by 2.4 to 3.6 µg/m3 .
But this would clearly still leave the Bath Road site significantly in breach of the legal limit. The new figures published with the Defra consultation closing today now anticipate emissions being below 40 µg/m3 at all receptor sites by 2025 – a very marked difference from the previous estimate.
Our concerns about this in relation to the possibility of an expansion of Heathrow airport are follows.
1. We cannot, for the reasons set out above, feel confident in the re-forecast of emissions from diesel vans (which are responsible for a significant proportion of emissions around Heathrow), that are now expected to bring about this dramatic improvement, without further evidence. Our concern is compounded by the fact that significant improvements in air quality around Heathrow have been forecast in the past, and have failed to materialise.
Defra should, in our view, to set out in detail
(i) why its previous forecasts were so significantly wrong
(ii) what now gives it confidence in the new forecasts, and
(iii) what policy measures, such as appropriate planning controls, will be put in place if the new forecasts turn out to be optimistic.
2. The work presented by Defra for consultation does not include modelling of the impact of a third Heathrow runway on NO2 levels. Even if the new forecasts prove correct and emissions at Bath Road are below 40µg/m3 by 2025, a year before a new runway could be operational the AC estimates, it is clearly very possible that a new Heathrow runway could push them back over the limit. Should the Government announce in December [it did not] that it supports Heathrow expansion, we suggest that this plan and consultation will need to be redrawn to consider the impact of that decision, modelling emissions associated with construction and use of the runway and any associated increase in road traffic. The modelling will need to extend beyond 2030, as the runway is predicted to be operating below its maximum capacity at that point. [so air pollution levels are likely to get worse as the use of the runway increases].
3. The Airports Commission has argued that the new runway should go ahead even if emissions remain in breach of health-based legal limits and even if expansion would compound the problem, as long as there is at least one other site in London where air quality is worse still, such that the Heathrow project did not strictly 'delay compliance'. It cites advice from the Highways Agency as following a similar approach in relation to road building. This suggests a potential approach whereby instead of regarding the limit values as an absolute requirement across all areas of a zone, planning decisions could be taken on the basis of a cynical reading of the EU law that allows an increase in harm to public health. The legality of this approach has meanwhile been challenged by Robert McCracken QC in advice to Clean Air in London 2 ( http://cleanair.london/legal/clean-air-in-london-obtains-qc-opinion-on-air-quality-law-including-at-heathrow/ ).
We very much hope that Defra will make clear that planning consent should not be granted to a project (a) that will worsen air quality in an area where breaches to either current or likely future air quality limits are already anticipated or (b) where there is a significant risk of it causing breaches to either current or likely future limits.

AEF also said:
Are Heathrow's concessions enough to address the impacts of a third runway?
By AEF
Heathrow has announced a series of environmental concessions, based on those proposed by the Airports Commission, which it hopes will persuade the Government to give it permission to build a third runway. Heathrow claims to go beyond the Airports Commission's recommendations in some cases.
In this article, we look at the key commitments, reflecting what impact they would have on the environmental impacts of a third runway, which the Airports Commission described as ranging from adverse to significantly adverse. We highlighted in our blog following the Airports Commission's final report that many of the proposed concessions failed to adequately deal with the environmental challenges of a new runway.
[Only the section on air pollution is copied here …]
Airports Commission recommendation: Additional operations at an expanded Heathrow must be contingent on acceptable performance on air quality. New capacity will be released when it is clear that air quality at sites around the airport will not delay compliance with EU limits.
Heathrow: Agree to this recommendation and state that the airport is taking further steps through an ultra-low emissions zone for airport vehicles, developing plans for an emissions charging scheme, and support the Environment Agency scrutinising their plans
AEF has argued that the Airports Commission's recommendation that expansion should not be allowed to "delay compliance" with the legislation was as a result of an inability to demonstrate that the Heathrow area – which has exceeded air quality limits for many years – could in fact be brought into compliance with legal air quality law if a third runway was built.
Rather than accepting the condition proposed by the Airports Commission, AEF believes permission for a new runway should only be given if it can be proven that this is compatible with bringing air pollution in the Heathrow area within legal limits. The issue of whether other locations in London are forecast to breach legal limits should not be used as an excuse for failing to bring the Heathrow area into compliance with the law.
