Choosing the right vehicle for the right task is very important. For example, you could assign lighter vehicles to longer routes and select alternative fuel vehicles for shorter routes.
The fewer times your engine starts, the less fuel you will consume. Changing gears sooner will also help lower your overall revolution per minute, resulting in less gas consumption. GPS vehicle tracking system technology allows in-vehicle 'beeping' functions which can alert drivers to turn off their engine when the vehicle has been put into "Park".
Restricting and reducing speed is another method for reducing wasted fuel. The implementation of speeding restrictions in fleet management is very helpful when it comes to saving fuel. This is because the slower the speed the less fuel required, ultimately resulting in lower fuel expenditure. GPS vehicle tracking system technology can also help drivers reduce fuel consumption by reminding them to slow down and stay within the posted speed limit.
When it comes to idling, unnecessary consumption equals unnecessary costs, which is amplified further with the more vehicles a business operates. Reminding drivers to turn off their engine can have huge paybacks in both the short and long term. Aggressive driving also leads to greater fuel use. This includes things like speeding, harsh breaking, accelerating, and even sharp cornering. It is important to change driver habits to improve vehicle economy.
Switching to alternative fuels can be very beneficial. It can help save on fuel expenses because alternative fuels are cheaper than regular oil. Not only is the fuel cheaper, but the maintenance fees are also lower.
Having a lighter vehicle load can help contribute to fuel savings. The lighter the vehicle, the more fuel efficient the vehicle will be. Car manufacturers have been able to significantly decrease the weight of many newer vehicles by building them with composite body parts.
Here at GoFleet, in partner with Geotab, we are committed to helping businesses realize a solid return on their GPS vehicle tracking system investment. Getting better MPG usages lies at the heart of what we do, as there are many contributing factors for reducing overall fuel expenditure.

Spotted Hyena is also known as Laughing Hyena. They are typically heard in the African night making a "whooo-hoop" sound.
They are mainly nocturnal but have been seen in early mornings and late afternoons. They form groups in which the females are dominant.
Spotted Hyena are primarily scavengers but will eat anything from carrion to fresh meat, skin, and bones. They will hunt in groups, chasing their prey until it is exhausted.
Enemies are lion and crocodile.
Note: US Fish and Wildlife no longer allows hyena trophies imported to the USA. Hyena may still be hunted in South Africa provided a permit is issued but it may not be entered into a record book because it cannot be exported.

PHOTOS: Downtown Windsor Farmers' Market Kicks Off In New Location
Saturday May 28th, 2016, 3:57pm
Today the Downtown Windsor Farmers' Market celebrates its season grand opening, in a brand new location on Pelissier Street between Wyandotte and Park.
Centered around and including Maiden Lane, the market will run from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. every Saturday from now until October 8th.
Kathryn Pasquach of Culture Shock Jewelry has been involved with the market since it was held at the old Greyhound bus terminal, and is very happy with the new site, "it's an awesome location," she says. "I like the setup."
Jo Meloche of Bumblebee Bakery, which features vegan baked goods and cheese, granola, and veggie burgers, is also a big fan of the new location. "It's nice to be able to just walk down the street," she says. "This layout is great."
Pasquach says she continues returning to the market each year because of "the community. Everyone's so supportive. The music, the people; I love it."
The live music was also appealing to Dan Slyman from Franklin, Massachusetts. Slyman is visiting Detroit for Movement Electronic Music Festival, and happened to make a day trip to Windsor and found the market.
A huge fan of The Chelsea building's architecture, Slyman says he finds the market "impressive, " and that's no surprise. Today's event features a variety of vendors including bakeries, wineries, bee products, reflexology, and more.
Neil Anderson, a farmer from Oxley, is one of few produce vendors today, but he expects that more will become available as the summer progresses.
"We have a greenhouse, and a lot of people don't," he says. "So they won't have much produce yet at this time of year."
The Downtown Windsor Farmers Market requires at least fifty-one per cent of vendors' products to be grown, made, or crafted by the seller, so buyers can be sure that they are supporting local when shopping at the market.

I'm in a bit of a recipe mood today– I dunno, maybe it's the holidays. Annette and I were over at Jim and Rachel's house last night, and I brought a batch of apple raspberry crumble. Rachel the baker/dessert queen asked for the recipe, and I figured since I emailed it to her, I might as well post it here, too.
This is a very easy to put together dessert that comes from one of Martha Stewart's first cook books, called Martha Stewart's Quick Cook. Actually, for all I know, it may have been her first book. I'm looking at it now, and I can see that it was published in 1983, and on the first page, she thanks her husband who tried all these recipes. Ah, Martha… what happened, Martha, what happened?
This stuff is bullet-proof. You can put it together in 15 minutes (the most labor-intensive part of the whole deal is peeling the apples), you can make it well in advance and just let it sit in the fridge until you're ready to cook it, you can eat it hot, warm, or cold. I say here to cook it for about a half-hour, but I know I've left it in the oven for an hour and it was fine. Grown-ups like it, kids like it, you can try using different berries (fresh or frozen), add some nuts to the crumble top, take out the oatmeal, whatever you want.
1. Core, peel, and cut up the apples. Cut each apple into about 10 or 12 slices, depending on the size of the apples. Put the apples into the bottom of a buttered baking dish– something 8 x 8 or so.
2. Sprinkle the apples with two or three tablespoons of flour and about a teaspoon of cinnamon.
3. Drain and discard whatever liquid is in the slightly defrosted frozen raspberries and dump the berries onto the apples. It's no big deal if the raspberries are still frozen, but it will take longer to cook.
4. In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, oatmeal, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg, and pinch of salt. Cut up the butter into itty-bitty pieces, put it in to the bowl with the other ingredients, and use your fingers (washed, of course) to cut the butter into dry ingredients until, well, crumbly. Spread this mixture out evenly over the raspberries.
5. Bake it at 350 or 375 until it's just barely golden brown and a bit bubbly– about 30 minutes, depending on how frozen the raspberries were. Eat it with whipped cream or ice cream.

Posted by Anne Young in Champion de Crespigny, India
On 20 April 1813 Emily Crespigny Hindes was baptised in the church of St Mary-le-Tower at Ipswich, Suffolk.
The name of Emily's mother was given as Emily Hindes. The infant Emily's second baptismal name was recorded as 'Crespigny', an allusion, it appears, to Charles Fox Crespigny (1785 – 1875), my 4th great grandfather. She was probably his illegitimate daughter and my half fourth great aunt.
Only a month before, on 20 March 1813, Charles Fox Crespigny had married Eliza Julia Trent (1797-1855) in London. The sequence of these events and their proximity is hard to interpret, but it appears that Crespigny was willing to acknowledge Emily Hindes as his daughter, for seventeen years later, on 14 July 1830, he stood surety for a bond on Emily's behalf, underwriting her passage to Bengal in the so-called 'fishing fleet' of Englishwomen seeking a promising young man in the marriage market of the British Raj. Accompanying her was Mrs Eliza Blundell (c. 1807 – 1833), wife of George Snow Blundell, an officer in the army of the East India Company. Eliza Blundell acted as her guardian and chaperone. Eliza's fare was probably also paid by Charles Crespigny.
The bond was issued in the names of Chas F Crespigny and Philip C Toker, a lawyer of Doctor's Commons. Philip Champion Toker (1802 – 1882) was Charles Fox Crespigny's nephew, daughter of his half-sister Clarissa (1776 – 1836) who had married Edward Toker.

On 1 December 1832 Emily Hindes married George Petre Wymer, a Major of the Honourable East India Company, at Neemuch, east of Udiapur, in Madya Pradesh. Their marriage certificate was witnessed by George Snow Blundell, Captain in the Fifty-first Regiment of Native Infantry.

The fishing expedition had been a success. Emily acquired a husband who,though twenty-five years older than herself, showed considerable promise as an army officer, and indeed, he rose to the rank of general and was knighted for his military service with the Order of the Bath. George Wymer, for his part, got a young wife who gave him five children. Four were born in India; the first two, a daughter and a son named George Crespigny Wymer, both died there in infancy.

Her infant son George died at Simla in 1837. The purple stars indicate some of George Wymer's military activities.
Overgrown with grasses, ferns and lichen, the grave of their son George Crespigny Wymer at Simla is described by Rudyard Kipling in "Out of Society", an essay first published in the Civil and Military Gazette of 14 August 1886.

Returning to England about 1850, the family lived on the Isle of Wight and in London. There Sir George Wymer died in 1868, with obituaries in the Gentleman's Magazine, the Morning Post, the Illustrated London News and elsewhere. These obituaries note that Sir George's wife was the daughter of C F Champion Crespigny.

The General's Medals – a rare early Indian Campaign Group of five to General Sir George Petre Wymer KCB comprising Order of the Bath, KCB (Military) Knight Commanders Star (neck and breast badge), Army of Indin 1799-1826 with Nepaul clasp (Lieut G.P.Wymer, 3rd NI), Cabdahar Ghuznee Cabul 1842 and Order of the Dooranee Empire (central enamel missing) and two additional gold suspension bars. The medals were sold by Gorringes in 2013.
After her husband's death Emily describes herself in the census returns as born in France. Given that she was baptised in Ipswich, Suffolk, this is most unlikely. She was possibly seeking to explain her unusual middle name or, perhaps deliberately, perhaps not, seeking to associate herself with her half-siblings who were in fact born in France.
In the census of 1861 an Emily Hindes, aged sixty-six, is listed as living alone in Aldeburgh High Street, Suffolk, maintained by "Annuity Property." Born about 1795, this woman would have been of age to bear a child in 1812. It seems likely that she was Emily mother of Charles Fox Crespigny's daughter Emily and that Charles had supported her thereafter. She died in 1870 aged 75 and was buried at the Anglican Church of St Peter and St Paul, Aldeburgh.
The Fishing Fleet
From 1600, when the East India Company was incorporated by royal charter, foreign travel to and within India was controlled by the Company. British citizens who wished to travel there were required to have the authority of the Company and, in general, this was given only to its employees. Soldiers of the Company were excepted. Other travellers were required to sign a covenant of good behaviour. To enforce the terms of the covenant, guarantors were required. These (there were usually two) were required to issue bonds undertaking to pay a certain sum of money in the event that the person guaranteed broke the terms of the covenant.
In the late seventeenth century the East India Company paid for the passage of women to India in order that Company employees might find British brides to marry. From the nineteenth century women paid their own way but still travelled to India in search of husbands employed by the Company or in the British Army.
A popular account of the Raj white marriage-market is 'The fishing fleet: husband-hunting in the Raj' by the journalist and biographer Anne de Courcy (Weidenfeld & Nicholson, 2012.)
de Courcy claims that 'the bond became an affidavit of the girl's social standing and, by extension, behaviour: if her parents could afford its cost, they were likely to be of a class that made their daughter a suitable bride for a high-up Company official'. The force of de Courcy's claim is considerably weakened, however, by the fact that the the bond was imposed on all travellers to India, not just young ladies prospecting for a husband. The Company's position of political and military dominance in India was extremely fragile, as the events of 1857 were to show. It had strong reasons for excluding troublemakers and riff-raff off all kinds, and the bond, was only incidentally a means of screening out sub-par sheilas. It was really a mechanism for protecting the security of British India.
The East India Company Act 1813 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which renewed the charter issued to the British East India Company, and continued the Company's rule in India. From 1813 until the passage of the Government of India Act 1833 missionaries, tradesmen and women who wished to travel to India were required to provide bonds.
The wording of the bond was standard. The surety was £200 (at least £17,590 in present day value or $Au33,000). The surety was in addition to the fare.
The Families in British India Society have an index of 12,500 Bonds taken out by many ladies, cadets, ministers of religion and traders between 1814 and 1865. I don't know if the bond actually had to be paid, if the bonds were paid, how and when were the bonds were redeemed? At, say, $AUS20,000 a pop, this comes to $AUS250 million. The interest on this would have been a nice little earner for the Company.
The bond allowed passage on an 'Indiaman' and ensured that the traveller would not be a charge on the East India Company.
East Indiamen "Madagascar", circa 1837 In the collection of the National Maritime Museum
Anne de Courcy writes that in the nineteenth century "India was seen as a marriage market for girls neither pretty nor rich enough to make at home what was known as 'a good match', [… ] indeed, perhaps not to make one at all." As the illegitimate daughter, even of a wealthy man, Emily Hindes would seem to fall in the category or women unlikely to make a good marriage in England.
Given the 1830 bond for Emily's passage to India it seems my 4th great grandfather accepted and took responsibility for his illegitimate daughter and sought to ensure she had a good marriage.
The website ghgraham.org/georgepetrewymer1788.html has an account of George and Emily Wymer and their children, with extracts from censuses, obituaries and the probate of wills.

GMT Advocates Get Active at IAC
Posted by Ben Clapham, August 4, 2014
Simon Cazal, executive director of SOMOSGAY, a GMT Initiative grantee partner in Paraguay, presents during the International AIDS Conference.
When I arrived in Melbourne, Australia, for the International AIDS Conference (IAC), the mood was quite somber due to the tragic downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17, which had delegates travelling to the conference on board. But despite the loss, the conference went on, and there was even a sense of energy and excitement among the GMT activists who were present.
At the 2012 IAC in Washington, D.C., GMT issues were not very well represented, but this year there were many more sessions addressing GMT. This inspired a sense of accomplishment among the GMT delegates, whose intense advocacy efforts helped to bring about this change.
I had the pleasure of organizing one of those GMT sessions with Michael Joyner, director of ViiV Healthcare's Positive Action program, which funds amfAR's Evidence in Action program. The session, "Evidence in Action: Creating Evidence-Based Programming for Men Who Have Sex with Men and Transgender People," took place in the Global Village—an area of the conference center that houses community networking zones, booths for community organizations, and stages for fashion shows and cultural performances. Fittingly, the session attendees were mostly community activists and program implementers.
Evidence in Action was established in 2012. As part of the program, grantee organizations work with local researchers with expertise in GMT HIV programming to conduct formalized evaluations of their programs. Through this process, the grantees produce official data on the success of their programs, which can help them get increased funding and reproduce their effective strategies on a larger scale. In addition to Michael and me, our panel included representatives from participating GMT Initiative grantee partners and their evaluators from Belize, Paraguay, El Salvador, and Grenada.
This was the first time that participants in the program presented their results, and we were very curious to see how the relationships between the community implementing partners and the researchers had worked. I was very pleased to hear that the experiences had been quite positive, and that the data showed that the organizational capacity of our community partners had improved, allowing them to broaden the impact of their services.
For example, C-NET+, an organization in Belize, presented data showing that their home care program was able to expand to provide care to more than 50 GMT living with HIV, and that the patients in the program had a 100% adherence rate to their antiretroviral therapy. Previously, it had been difficult to get GMT to allow the outreach workers into their homes due to the extremely harsh stigma and discrimination in Belize surrounding HIV and homosexuality. SOMOSGAY, in Paraguay, presented data showing that their outreach and testing services resulted in a 20% increase in the number of GMT getting tested for HIV in Asuncion.
What is most exciting is that this data was created by and for the community. Unfortunately, too often, outside researchers come into community settings to gather data about GMT that then becomes "theirs." They do not share it with the community, and it has little impact on their lives. The unique aspect of Evidence in Action is that the communities on the ground that need the data most for their advocacy and fundraising efforts have ownership of it. The community partners who participated in the session told me that this data represents far more than just indicators and results for a project. As Eric Castellanos, executive director of C-NET+, said, "This data legitimizes our existence as advocates fighting for the rights and health of gay men, other men who have sex with men, and transgender people."

Oil giant Total joins venture funding for DER software company AutoGrid
Dive Brief:
The venture capital arm of French energy company Total has taken an investment in AutoGrid, with its Total Energy Ventures joining the company's C-2 funding round as a strategic investor.
The move comes on the tail of Total's $1.1 billion acquisition of battery-maker Saft last month, and follows a recent trend of fossil fuel giants taking greater interest in clean technologies, particularly distributed energy.
In addition to Total, other AutoGrid investors include Energy Impact Partners, Envision Energy and German energy giant E.On.
Dive Insight:
Amid a period of low commodity prices and new international commitments to climate change action, companies long associated with fossil fuels are looking to diversify their portfolios.
Among the most aggressive has been French oil supermajor Total. Following the 2011 purchase of a controlling stake in solar manufacturer SunPower, the company bought battery startup Saft last month, adding to positions in storage companies Sunverge and Aquion, as well as the utility analytics company Tendril.
AutoGrid in May raised $20 million in venture capital financing to fund the expansion of the "Energy Internet" suite of applications built on the California company's software.
The company also said the funding would help it expand its sales and marketing efforts in North America, Europe and Asia.
AutoGrid's internet platform allows users to balance supply and demand for connected distributed energy resources by identifying problems and optimizing equipment consumption. The applications use predictive technology to process data from energy assets and grid activity.
"Following on from the acquisition of stakes in Sunverge and Stem, this latest investment strengthens TEV's portfolio in the area of smart grids," Philippe Sauquet, president of gas, renewables and power at Total, said in a statement.
TEV will sit on AutoGrid's board of directors as an observer.

The Rarely Seen Son Fantasia Had With Her Ex Boyfriend Ain't A Baby Anymore
The year was 2010 when fantasia Barrino's fans cringed looking the heart wrenching Fantasia for Real scene between then boyfriend, Antwaun Cook. He'd finally arrived clean about still being with his missis, Paula Cook. Fantasia, Antwaun,
and his missis have reach a long path since then, so we wanted to share with y'all where they are now and what occurred to the kid Tasia and Antwaun had. At the time of the taping of their scene on Fantasia's reality show, she and Antwaun had been dating for months and already appeared to be in love.
As Antwaun attempted to clarify his side of the story to Fantasia, of why he'd been lying to her and ch'eating on his missis, Fantasia flat out told him That don't make no sense. Small did we learn at that time though, that scene was taped just two days before Fantasia's August 2010 suicide attempt,
in which she'd taken a bottle of aspirin and a sleep aid d'rug at her North Carolina house. Obviously, the pain of her and Antwaun's relationship was too much for her to handle. I didn't have any battle in me. I didn't care about anything.
I simply wanted out, the American Idol winner, 26, tells VH1 in a new behind the Music interview. … At that moment, I wanted out. I need it to be over with all of it, all of that expletive. I just sat in the closet and glanced at the mirror and took all the p'ills in the bottle.
I liked to go to sleep and just be at peace. I learned exactly what I was doing. You can't accidentally take a whole bottle of pi'lls. Soon after news s'mashed that Fantasia was dating a marital man, Antwaun's missis, Paula, filed a lawsuit against fantasia and labeled her a lying home-w'recker. Here's what People reported in August 2010 about that. Court papers filed…by Cook's missis, Paula, allege that her spouse and Barrino had been having an affair since August 2009 and that the two also made a s'ex t'ape.
She has also threatened to s'ue the vocalist for alienation of affection and c'riminal discussion. Barrino's manager has said Barrino thought the Cooks had divided and is now heartbroken and is sorry for any pain she may have caused.


"Researchers analysed surveys completed separately by both mothers and fathers from 170 two-parent households. Mothers and fathers were asked about their use of smartphones, tablets, laptops and other technology - and how the devices disrupted family time. Interruptions could be as simple as checking phone messages during mealtime, playtime and routine activities or conversations with their children.
Another study reported on by Science Daily last year showed a correlation between how long a caregiver looks at an object and how long an infant's attention remains focused on that same object. This is important because it suggests that 'caregivers whose eyes wander during playtime, due to distractions such as smartphones or other technology, for example may raise children with shorter attention spans'.
"The ability of children to sustain attention is known as a strong indicator for later success in areas such as language acquisition, problem-solving and other key cognitive development milestones," said Chen Yu, who led the study. "Caregivers who appear distracted or whose eyes wander a lot while their children play appear to negatively impact infants' burgeoning attention spans during a key stage of development."
So what can we do to lessen the heavy impact of our own device use on our kids? The researchers advise parents to try to carve out designated times to put away the devices and focus all attention on their kids. And respected organisations such as Zero To Three recommend daily 'unplugged' time. This might be best at typical family times like mealtimes and bathtimes, or it might be a set time just for play. The important part is that the device goes away, not tucked behind a cushion and glanced at from time to time.
To finish, the last word goes to one researcher who (thankfully) said, "It may not be realistic, nor is it necessary, to ban technology use all together at home. But setting boundaries can help parents keep smartphones and other mobile technology from interrupting quality time with their kids." And given this can affect not only their behaviour but their attention span and longer term life outcomes too, this seems to make a lot of sense.

Radial Engineering Ltd is pleased to announce the Q4, what could very well be the world's first 100 percent discrete state-variable class-A parametric equalizer.
Radial Engineering Ltd is pleased to announce the Q4, what could very well be the world's first 100 percent discrete state-variable class-A parametric equalizer.
According to Radial Senior Engineer Dan Fraser: "Ever since George Massenburg invented and coined the term 'parametric equalizer' in 1972, audio equipment manufacturers have followed suit by employing integrated circuit op-amps to generate the gain in equalizer circuits. This innovation did away with the finicky induction coils and expensive switches that were used in the 1950s and 1960s, bringing affordable EQ circuits to the mass market. And although this approach certainly works very well, no company has ever gone back to the purity of 100% discrete electronics to produce a true class-A state variable filter design. The Q4 is exactly that. And for the more demanding golden eared engineers, the Q4 will give them an EQ choice that has, up until now, never been commercially available."
The Q4 is a line level device designed to interface with balanced pro audio recording systems. It features four EQ bands with fixed low and high frequency shelving at 100Hz and 10kHz, plus two semi-parametric mid bands that span between 300Hz ~ 2.4kHz and 1kHz ~ 12kHz respectively. Each mid band is also equipped with choice of wide or narrow Q to open up the sweet spot or tighten it for surgical precision. All frequencies are set with up to 12dB of boost or cut. The EQ may be bypassed to compare the pre and post effect.
Fraser continues: "For years, audiophiles and engineers have been touting the sonic advantages of full sized, discrete parts over their miniaturized integrated circuit computer and cell phone counterparts. The preference of using class-A circuits over class-AB or other designs is also well documented. Couple this with the fact that 500 series users are looking for the purity of analog and you can immediately understand why the Q4 is so appealing. And once you plug it in, you can immediately hear how good it sounds! There really is nothing like it."
As with all Radial 500 series modules, the Q4 is fully encased in steel to provide durability and screening against outside electro-magnetic fields. Inside, the Q4 features a double sided circuit board with 100 percent discrete through-hole parts. These are hand inserted through-hole wave soldered for optimal signal flow. When mounted inside a Workhorse rack, the Omniport serves as a 1/4" TRS I/O that can be interfaced with a mixer's insert point using a simple TRS connector. The Q4 is made in Canada and guaranteed for 3 years.
The Q4 will start shipping October 2012. Estimated retail price: $800 USD.

Ex-Mizuho banker charged with insider dealing
By Natalie Holt	 11th August 2011 12:00 am
The FSA has charged former Mizuho International investment banker Thomas Ammann and two associates with insider dealing.
Ammann has been charged with three counts of insider dealing and two counts of encouraging insider dealing.
Christina Weckwerth, who lives in Germany, has been charged with two counts of insider dealing and Jessica Mang has been charged with one count of insider dealing.
The regulator has also charged Ammann and Weckwerth with a single count of money laundering.
The offences relate to trading in shares of Dutch printing firm OcéNV between February and November 2009.
The charges follow on from the arrests of Ammann and Mang last November.
Mizuho International is the London-based securities and investment banking arm of the Mizuho Financial Group. The FSA has cleared Mizuho of any wrongdoing.
Weckwerth and Mang are not connected to the firm.
In a statement, Mizuho says: "The FSA has confirmed that there has been no wrongdoing by Mizuho International and no actions are being taken against Mizuho International.
"The FSA has not expressed any concern about Mizuho International or its systems and controls.
"The transactions to which the charges relate were executed by the individual in his personal capacity and were not done through or processed by Mizuho International."
All three have been bailed to attend the City of Westminster magistrates court on August 23.
The FSA has pursued insider dealing cases more aggressively in recent years.
It has so far secured 10 convictions in relation to insider dealing and is currently prosecuting a further 13 individuals for insider dealing charges.

Station House Cafe in West Marin to reclaim…
Station House Cafe in West Marin to reclaim original site

After facing potential closure this year, the Station House Cafe in Point Reyes Station is set to relocate to the spot where it first opened 56 years ago.
The West Marin fixture — a restaurant, bar and live music venue — plans to move to the corner of Third and Main streets in Point Reyes Station in mid-2021, according to owner Sheryl Cahill.
The business has been searching for a new home after lease renewal negotiations at its current location on Highway 1 fell through earlier this year.
"I had been talking to a few different properties about the potential but none of them were in downtown Point Reyes and none of them was the original location of the Station House Cafe," Cahill said. "It was a no-brainer."
Station House Cafe first opened at Third and Main streets in June 1964 as the Station House Restaurant. At the time it was owned by the Rehbein family until passing to Jack Mason from 1966-1971, according to local historian Dewey Livingston. Pat Healy took ownership thereafter and sold it to Cahill in 2005.
Cahill started working at the cafe in 1990, a year after it moved a block away to its current location. This will be the first time she will work at the original site.
The cafe is able to occupy the space at its original location following the closure of the Italian restaurant Osteria Stellina in August. After 12 years in business, the eatery was closed due to the pandemic and other challenges, according to a restaurant posting.
Cahill said the Third and Marin street property owners, the Jeannine and Peter Strober Trust, knew she had been looking for a new location and contacted her once the building was available.
"The property owner is amazingly supportive and is doing a lot of the fundamental work to improve the facility for us," Cahill said. "And I will be responsible for all of the things that we need to do to make it the Station House Cafe."
Longtime patrons of the Station House Cafe will notice some changes that will come along with the new location.
"We'll still be the Station House Cafe but we'll take some of our traditions with us and have some new surprises as well," Cahill said. "When you move into a new place you have new opportunities."
The new location does not have an outdoor garden area, though Cahill said they will be offering outdoor seating should coronavirus restrictions still be in place at the time of reopening.
In the meantime, supporters have created a fundraising campaign to help the restaurant pay for costs that will be incurred from the move, such as permitting fees, equipment and renovations.
More information about the fundraiser is online at bit.ly/3hqRK9P.

Inland Press Association is a founding member of a broad coalition of associations and businesses in the publishing, printing and paper industries that is fighting proposed tariffs on imported Canadian newsprint and other papers—actions the coalition believes threatens industries that employ more than 600,000 workers.
STOPP, the coalition to Stop Tariffs on Printers & Publishers, is asking the International Trade Commission (ITC) and Congress to reject proposed countervailing duties and anti-dumping duties on imports of Canadian uncoated groundwood papers —tariffs that range up to 32% combined—that were assessed by the Department of Commerce in January and March.
At stake, STOPP says, are thousands of U.S. jobs since the duties will saddle U.S. printing and publishing businesses—including newspapers—with significantly increased production costs.
The STOPP coalition is concerned that these CVD and AD duties, which range up to 32 percent combined, will saddle U.S. printing and publishing businesses with increased costs and threaten thousands of American jobs.
The Coalition is asking the International Trade Commission (ITC) and the U.S. Congress to reject these newsprint tariffs and protect U.S. jobs.
In addition to Inland, members of the STOPP coalition include: American Society of News Editors, Association of Alternative Newsmedia, Association of American Publishers, Association for Print Technologies, Book Manufacturer's Institute, Catalyst Paper, Kruger, Local Search Association, National Newspaper Association, News Media Alliance, Printing Industries of America, Quad Graphics, Rayonier Advance Materials, Resolute Forest Products, Southern Newspaper Publishers Association, Trusted Media Brands (formerly Readers Digest Association), Valassis Communications, and Worzalla.
STOPP has launched a new website: www.stopnewsprinttariffs.org and is inviting other interested parties to join in the fight to overturn these tariffs.
The impact of these tariffs on newspapers, paper producers, book publishers and others has the potential to be devastating to entire industries, STOPP members say.


The biggest challenge for medical marijuana dispensaries in many markets is keeping up with enormous demand and managing rapid growth.
But for entrepreneurs in states with highly restrictive rules – such as New Jersey, New Mexico and Washington DC – simply opening for business each day can be considered a major accomplishment.
Dispensaries in these types of markets face everything from extremely low patient counts that dampen sales to production caps that create operational and inventory issues.
To survive, they must spend a considerable amount of time and money on advocacy and communication, keep overhead to a minimum, develop strong relationships with patients and find ways to hang on as the market matures and grows.
Entrepreneurs in new MMJ markets should take note: An increasing number of states – including Minnesota and New York – are enacting strict regulations that will present similar hurdles.
Washington DC is one of the most challenging markets in the United States, with just four ailments that allow patients to get MMJ cards, three total dispensaries and approximately 500 patients.
Dispensaries opened just over a year ago, and they all struggled from the start given the small market base.
In October, for instance, Takoma Wellness had just 24 patients – well short of the 350 it needs to break even.
Instead of throwing in the towel, Takoma's executives adopted a hands-on approach to winning customers. The dispensary helps new patients fill out their registration paperwork, snaps a head shot for their license, delivers the paperwork to the correct municipal office and even pays the registration fee.
The focus on customer service appears to be working: Takoma now has approximately 200 regular patients.
Kahn believes the dispensary will hit the break-even patient threshold sometimes this year.
Until then, he must keep his costs as low as possible. To accomplish this, Kahn employs his wife, his daughter and his son-in-law, who all work without taking a salary.
There is light at the end of the tunnel. Kahn said that the number of licensed growers has increased from one to three in Washington DC, and that some of the growers are producing concentrates and oils, which were not present in October.
Legislators also have proposed widening the ailments list – which will bolster the market – and many expect that to happen later this year.
New Jersey dispensaries have also struggled with small patient counts, however a restrictive ailments list is only partly to blame.
One of the biggest issues is that doctors have been unwilling to prescribe the drug because doing so adds their name to a public list, which some see as a stigma.
With few doctors prescribing the drug, only a limited number of patients have been cleared to buy it.
The Compassion Care Foundation in Egg Harbor serves approximately 650 patients, which is far lower than ownership anticipated when it opened in 2013. David Knowlton, chairman of the dispensary's board, said the group has had to trim labor costs in recent weeks by cutting back on employee hours.
The dispensary also recently tabled its plans to expand into a second cultivation facility because current demand is not high enough.
Knowlton, who is also chairman of the NJ Health Care Quality Institute, said the company has redirected resources toward physician outreach. Employees call groups of doctors, hospice centers and cancer groups to pitch the benefits of medical marijuana. Knowlton also discusses medical marijuana with physicians on a one-on-one basis.
Instead of telling spectacular stories of marijuana as a miracle cure, Knowlton said, employees discuss the pragmatic medical benefits of the plant.
Dispensaries in New Mexico are hamstrung by the state's low plant count, which restricts businesses to just 150 plants under cultivation. Businesses there often shut down for several days in between harvests because inventory has run out.
Shortages erode patient confidence and often steer customers to the black market.
Erik Briones, owner of Minerva Canna Group in Albuquerque, said his business overcame the restrictive plant count by purchasing wholesale cannabis from dispensaries in more rural areas of the state.
New Mexico does not prohibit wholesale sales, however Briones said many dispensaries only sell what they themselves grow.
Minerva Canna buys medical cannabis from three different dispensaries that cultivate their own marijuana.
Finding wholesale partners, however, required months of work. Briones said one of his wholesale partners required more than a year of coercing before agreeing to do business with Minerva.
"We really had to earn each other's trust," Briones said.
To add to his inventories, Briones spent considerable time and cash to refine his own cultivation techniques.
He eliminated strains that produce smaller amounts of cannabis, and invested in a "screen of green" or scrog method of cultivation. He said the changes have increased his yields from 9 ounces per plant to 1.5 – 2 pounds per plant.

Lourdes Leon Is Ready to Express Herself
Madonna's eldest daughter on joining Instagram, her dream dinner with Rasputin, and her first boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet.

After a lifetime of relative seclusion, Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon, the 24-year-old eldest daughter of Madonna and "fitness guru" Carlos Leon, as Leon calls her dad, is suddenly larger than life. Specifically, she is 20 feet tall on billboards across the country as the new face of Marc Jacobs. She's also starring in a viral Stella McCartney campaign, and is finally on Instagram. Over FaceTime during a visit home to Los Angeles, complete with unintentional cameos from Mom and a few of her six siblings ("I'm doing an interview, can't chat"), the trained dancer and self-proclaimed "Latin from Manhattan" is refreshingly candid and intentionally provocative, with her contrarian sense of humor on full display.
SHE GOES BY Lola to her friends.
AS A "LANKY kid," she started ballet classes at three years old. "My mom really went hard for that once she saw there was potential."
SHE'S UP FOR a challenge and would like to play Mother Teresa in a movie.

HER DREAM DINNER includes "some words" with Princes Philip and Charles (whom she deems "a bit evil")—but only after seeking advice from choice agents of chaos: Rasputin ("He literally just manipulated the royals"), Castro ("Anyone who's ruled a country would be interesting to talk to about this"), and Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes ("I don't think it's horrible for women to have this show. Even when they're screaming, I love it and it's soothing to my brain").
HER ADVICE FOR "grown-ass men who ask me if I'm on 'The 'Gram' " is: "You need to gather yourself and think about the way in which you want to get to know people because that's just not how you do it."
SHE ATTENDED Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in Manhattan alongside Timothée Chalamet—"I respect him a lot, we were a little item. My first boyfriend," she says, "or anything"—and Ansel Elgort, "a terrible DJ."
AFTER SEEING HER first MAGA hat at the University of Michigan, Leon transferred to the competitive dance conservatory at SUNY Purchase, where "10-hour studio days" were the norm. "You think that your body is not capable of something until you just have to do it."

SHE'S OBSERVED A lifetime of strange gifts sent to her mother. "She's expecting something nice that she'll actually use and she gets a leather horse condom and a bong shaped like a cock and balls," courtesy of Steven Klein. "She doesn't even smoke weed."
AFTER AN "EMOTIONAL" trip to Cuba in 2016—"I look like my grandmother, and my family members were all freaking out, grabbing my face"—she hopes to spend extended time in her father's family's homeland. "That diaspora engine yanks you back."
FOUR YEARS AFTER making her modeling debut with Stella McCartney, she choreographed and codirected the campaign for McCartney's Adidas collaboration last summer—a welcome project, she says, because "it's been really hard as a dancer in the time of COVID."
HER GOALS INCLUDE getting a driver's license and "motivating a person or two" to realize their dreams. "I would just like to be of use."
SHE'S CURRENTLY READING White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo, All About Love by bell hooks, and Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
Clothing by Ferragamo; shoes by Jimmy Choo; rings by Bulgari (index) and Bulgari High Jewelry. Throughout: hair products by Olaplex; makeup by Selena Ruiz; nail enamel by Presto.
Photographs by Adrienne Raquel. Styled by Ron Hartleben.
HER HERO IS Jersey Shore star Jwoww, because "she was never getting too sloppy and she always looked really hot."
SHE MET Marc Jacobs when she was 12 on the set of her mom's Louis Vuitton campaign, and was "super fascinated with his tattoos."
SHE FINDS SOLACE in spirituality: "Prayer is something that is really helpful to me. I love religion and religious people."
SHE SEES A shift in the next generation: "After the last presidency, I don't think I have one friend that's not depressed or anxious," she says, though "we feel together now, and there is a sense of solidarity and responsibility for any person that doesn't feel safe to walk down the street."

The Musical Hat is a prototype for a wearable musical instrument, used as a live looper with audio effects which respond to your head movements, as well as an EEG reader that translates electrical activity in the brain into music, all built into a custom made designer hat.
My original idea was to combine the main features from the GlassBeats prototype with the technology of the EEG Musical Interface I developed with Prof. Nathan Intrator to create an innovative and fashionable wearable instrument.
I was inspired by the beautiful hats made by Ginjah Vibes (Marina Kushnir) and decided to invite her and Cyril Laurier, the brilliant developer I worked with on the award-winning BioSynth, to create the prototype with me.
The three of us arranged to meet at Music Tech Fest 2014 at IRCAM, Paris, where I was giving a talk about my work in the field of music technology. We spent most of our time at the Hack Camp, building an Arduino board, a gyroscope, 3 buttons, an EEG reader and a bluetooth transmitter into the hat.
Our Musical Hat prototype ended up winning the wearable technology award at the festival and is now being developed further.


At some point during the splatter-movie climax of Jakop Ahlbom's ingenious tribute to horror cinema, the feeling emerges that literally anything could happen. Having seen bodies levitate and then vanish, a woman dissolve instantaneously, ghosts and revenants appear, disappear, be dismembered, climb through walls and television sets and float across the stage, it's almost as if Ahlbom and his company have suspended the laws of physics, or conjured some genuine black magic on the stage.
Horror is that all-too rare creation: a genuinely, persistently terrifying theatre show. Part of the London International Mime Festival, it's a wordless 80-minute ghost train that plays homage to the greatest hits in horror history, while telling its own disturbing story of vengeful spirits and demonic possession.
Framed around a classic cabin in the woods-style narrative, Horror sees three young friends foolishly staying the night in a crumbling old house. It's no surprise that they fall victim to supernatural shenanigans, but the scale, complexity and bravura of the ensuing bloody mayhem is breath-taking. Tributes to Evil Dead 2, Ring, The Exorcist and Poltergeist surpass even the original films in their flawless execution, as Ahlbom's established combination of grand illusion, dance and music creates shiver-inducing set-piece after set-piece. Subtle it ain't, but it's a fiendishly clever horror show that makes Ghost Stories seem crass and even The Woman in Black look like a leaden-footed museum piece. A black kaleidoscope of nerve-shredding entertainment.
A superlative and nerve-shredding tribute to the greatest hits of horror cinema which blends dance and grand illusion.

Widespread DER adoption can significantly impact utility operations and planning; however, it can take months to analyze just a handful of scenarios with current DER planning practices that rely heavily on subject matter experts with spreadsheets and one-time consulting studies. Furthermore, current planning methods typically don't provide the needed level of spatial detail, nor do they consider how the purchase of one DER, such as a solar PV system, affects the probability that a customer will adopt another DER such as storage or an electric vehicle. These details are required to accurately assess impacts to grid operations and revenue.
With new legislation and technology constantly changing the outlook for DER markets, utilities need to be able to evaluate and adapt quickly. WattPlan Grid delivers on-demand customer DER adoption forecasts based on utility-defined rates, incentives, and technology costs and specifications. Adoption forecasts will consider the interacting effects of rooftop solar, electric vehicles, battery storage, demand response and energy efficiency for each customer individually. Impacts of individual customer DER adoption will aggregate to the circuit and feeder level to allow overall impacts to grid operations and revenue to be evaluated in more detail.
DER planners, resource planners and distribution planners can consider a wide range of adoption scenarios and quickly adapt planning to changes in the market. Better planning drives smarter investments.
Rate analysts can evaluate rate designs that allow customers to save money with DERs and encourage customer adoption of DERs to benefit the utility.
Customer program specialists can understand customer behavior at an individual customer level, allowing more effective engagement and identification of new business opportunities.
