Turnbull report
Internal Control: Guidance for directors on the Combined Code
The Turnbull Report was first published in 1999 and set out best practice on internal control for UK listed companies. In October 2005 the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) issued an updated version of the guidance with the title 'Internal Control: Guidance for Directors on the Combined Code'. In September 2014 this was superseded by the FRC's Risk Guidance.
Book and articles in the Library collection
Updated version of the Turnbull guidance published by the Financial Reporting Council on 13 October 2005. The updated version took effect for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2006. In September 2014 it was replaced by the Risk Guidance.
Further information is available on the risk management and internal control page on the FRC website.
The FRC held a series of meetings with companies, investors and advisers in 2011 which were summarised in the report Boards and risk published in September 2011. One of the conclusions reached was that whilst the guidance was "still broadly fit for purpose, some change was needed to reflect the role of the Board as articulated in the new version of the [UK Corporate Governance] Code. The FRC intends to carry out a limited review during 2012."
In November 2013 the FRC launched a consultation on further updates to the guidance. On 17 September 2014 it published the resulting revised guidance, Risk management, internal control and related financial and business reporting (the Risk Guidance). This updates and replaces Internal Control: Guidance for Directors on the Combined Code (formerly known as the Turnbull Guidance).

An accelerating need from transport is expected to drive demand for lithium-ion batteries during the coming years. Felix Maire and Roman Kramarchuk of S&P Global Platts Analytics outline the issues around the technology, as well as the sourcing and substitution of key metals.
Because of the often-siloed nature of the energy sector, there is a need for some perspective regarding the relative size and importance of the sectors. The fact is that energy sector applications of batteries are and will continue to be dominated by uptake in the transport sector (see chart, above).
Intuitively, this should not be surprising, as batteries provide for the full energy transport needs of an electric vehicle, but they only play a supporting role to other generating sources in the power sector. Globally, there is currently only 2−4 GWh of lithium battery storage installed in the power sector, according to the International Energy Agency, whereas batteries in electric vehicles account for 140 GWh.
The right-hand side of the chart gives a sense of the relative size of battery demand under some strong battery storage penetration scenarios. On the transport side, assuming 25% of light-duty vehicles in the US were EVs (with a 60 kWh battery) this would imply 3,100 GWh of battery needs. On the power side, assuming 25% of all US households installed home batteries (sized at 13.5 kWh), the total need would be <500 GWh. This is about the same level of battery needs under a scenario in which 25% of US natural gas fired peaking generation plants are replaced with a combination of solar and storage. As can be seen, the potential on the power side is clearly much smaller in scale – and the power sector can also choose from a wider range of non-lithium ion alternatives.
The electrification of the transport sector is seen as a potential solution to reduce local air pollution and potentially also greenhouse gas emissions (depending on factors such as the carbon intensity of the power sector). Developments in battery technology have been critical to this.
Research on lithium-ion batteries began in the 1970s. In 1991, Sony commercialized the first lithium-ion battery to increase the battery capacity of its video recording devices. However, it took much longer for the transport sector to adopt lithium-ion batteries, despite its ability to store much more electricity by unit of weight or volume than older technologies. Early EV designs from the 1960s relied mostly on nickel-cadmium batteries. And for a while, lithium- ion batteries were too expensive to be used in transportation applications while nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries were too heavy to provide EVs with adequate ranges. In contrast, electric hybrid vehicles needed less battery capacity and were able to utilize the relatively inexpensive NiMH batteries. The earliest Toyota Prius hybrid had a battery capacity of less than 1 kWh, while the Tesla Model 3 houses a 75 kWh battery.
While EV sales are increasing, they remain a small fraction of new car sales and the total vehicle fleet. EVs will account for 2.5% of total 2018 passenger vehicle sales, according to the latest S&P Global Platts Analytics Electric Vehicle Sales & Policy Scorecard. Cost will be a key determinant of further uptake. The purchase price of EVs is expected to remain higher than that of gasoline or diesel vehicles, largely due to the high cost of batteries. S&P Global Platts Analytics modelling indicates that savings in the costs of fuel and maintenance will not be sufficient to make EVs competitive on a total-cost-of-ownership basis for a while. However, we do expect further EV cost reductions and technology improvements over time. We estimate that passenger EV sales will continue to accelerate, reaching 24 million in annual sales in 2030.
This fast ramp-up of EV sales will significantly raise demand for raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, manganese and nickel. Development of new mines and intermediate conversion and processing plants takes time, raising concerns that supply will not be able to keep up with demand, and that shortages will raise battery prices and slow down the price competitiveness and uptake of EVs.
Materials currently account for nearly 50% of the total battery cost, among which cobalt, lithium, nickel and graphite are the most expensive, accounting for 30% of total cost. Process and chemistry improvements and pack engineering advances will lower battery prices, all else being equal. In turn, the battery cost exposure to metal price risks will increase as these key raw materials account for a larger share of the battery price.
How this ramp-up in demand for metals plays out will depend in part on developments in battery chemistries. The industry has developed a wide range of lithium-ion battery types, varying in capacity, chemistries and performance. There is no commercially available ideal lithium-ion chemistry suitable for all applications. The choice of chemistry is typically a trade-off between energy density, power density, safety, life and cost requirements, and the metal needs vary.
Energy density is critical for the electrification of transportation. Within the industry, the concept of "range anxiety" has been widely discussed as one of the factors limiting customers' interest for EVs. Increasing battery capacity is the primary option for increasing vehicle range. However, as there is a limit to how much battery capacity can be installed due to vehicle space and weight limits, high energy density is key to achieving long-range EVs.
In addition, the feasibility of heavy-duty vehicle electrification will partly depend on future increases in energy density. Electrifying long-range heavy-duty trucks with current lithium-ion batteries would shrink the amount of goods trucks can transport over long distances.
However, energy-dense chemistries are also the ones that use expensive raw materials, such as cobalt. While some early EVs sold outside China relied on low-energy density batteries – for instance, the first Nissan Leaf used the cobalt-free lithium-ion manganese oxide (LMO) chemistry – automakers use high energy density batteries in their latest EV models to achieve higher vehicle ranges. Tesla has been the main proponent of the lithium nickel aluminum cobalt oxide cathode (NCA). Other manufacturers use the lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) chemistry.
Since 2016, prices for cobalt traded on the London Metal Exchange more than quadrupled to reach a peak of $95,500/mt in March 2018. Similarly, the price of lithium carbonate more than doubled since 2016, but has been decreasing recently. Since the launch of S&P Global Platts battery-grade lithium carbonate assessment on May 4, the seaborne price has fallen significantly from its opening assessment of $18,000/mt.
Longer range EVs use the NMC and NCA chemistries, which favour the use of lithium hydroxide instead of lithium carbonate. Despite the growing demand, prices for lithium hydroxide have been dropping recently, highlighting ample lithium supply. Indeed, concerns over lithium supply have shifted towards concerns about lithium conversion capacity, which is needed to upgrade raw material to the carbonate and hydroxide needed in batteries.
Lithium spodumene and brine volumes continue to come to the market in ever-increasing numbers from Australia, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and China. While Chinese brine and spodumene is largely seen as lower quality it can be upgraded to battery-grade quality. Weakening S&P Global Platts battery-grade lithium carbonate assessments for the seaborne as well as Chinese domestic market suggest easing concerns over near-term supply, with all four assessments down from where they were assessed when first launched.
Automakers have tried, with varying success, to lock-in raw material supply of cobalt and lithium. Earlier this year, Gangfeng signed a deal with LG Chem to supply lithium for the period 2019−2025 and signed a contract with Tesla for a two-year supply, with an option for three additional years. However, Volkswagen failed last year to secure long-term cobalt supply after asking for 10-year contracts. Cobalt also faces a concentration risk, as most of the production and reserves are located in the Democratic Republic of Congo. On the contrary, lithium reserves are more widely spread, but Chile and Australia account for almost 80% of 2017 production.
It is important to note that there is currently no real alternative to lithium for the batteries used in the transport sector. While the battery industry is using different forms of lithium − lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide − the need for lithium is relatively comparable among all the different lithium-ion battery chemistries. Finding a good replacement would not be an easy task for the industry. By 2025, S&P Global Platts Analytics expects a 10-fold increase in lithium demand from passenger EVs.
Technology development will be instrumental in reducing cobalt exposure. Battery manufacturers are partly replacing cobalt with nickel in new batteries to reduce cobalt needs and increase energy density. The battery of the first BMW i3 used the NMC 3:3:3 chemistry (with three parts nickel, three parts cobalt and three parts manganese). A doubling of cobalt prices would lead to a 13% increase in battery cost for this chemistry. However, the industry is moving towards the NMC 6:2:2 (with six parts nickel, two parts cobalt and two parts manganese). This would cut the cobalt need, limiting the battery price increase to 8% if cobalt prices double.
Research is ongoing to further reduce cobalt content in batteries, and possibly even to eliminate it. The industry expects the commercialization of the NMC 8:1:1 within the next few years, though safety concerns due to lower cobalt content may delay this.
While several companies are working on cobalt-free chemistries, technology advances generally take a long time in the battery space, as time is measured in decades. Cobalt provides stability to lithium-ion batteries and is difficult to remove completely while keeping high energy density. New technologies, such as solid-state batteries, may decrease the need for cobalt, but are still many years away from mass commercialization. New cobalt supply will still be needed in the interim, as the scale of the expected growth in EVs will outpace such technological developments.
Finally, battery recycling will become a critical topic, as EVs reach new segments and take up an increasing share of new vehicle sales. It is likely that governments will play a key role in supporting recycling driven by waste and sustainability concerns, as well as the risk of raw material scarcity. Automotive manufacturers typically guarantee batteries for 100,000 miles or eight years, but batteries' capacity degrades with use and they ultimately need to be replaced. There are increasing discussions about the second use of batteries, with some OEMs investigating the reuse of EV batteries for power storage applications.


Lansing police allegedly went to Ashley Shade's home because they received a report of an unresponsive infant, but Shade and the baby were gone when they arrived.
Police say they've arrested a mid-Michigan woman who had been sought since earlier this month after authorities found the body of her 6-day-old daughter in her car.
Police have said the Lansing woman's Toyota Camry was found parked March 19 but she wasn't there. Shade and the infant were missing since the night before.
Police initially responded to a report of an unresponsive infant at an apartment, but Shade and the baby were gone. Two girls, younger than 10 years old, were found at the home alone, according to Lansing State Journal.
However, the girls' father reportedly came home and claimed that the infant was born in the bathroom, according to Child Protective Services records viewed by the State Journal. He allegedly told authorities that Shade had called him earlier that day and said "her baby was not breathing," and when he got back to the apartment, he saw Shade crying despite the baby looking like she was sleeping.
Shade has six other children, according to local outlet WWJ News Radio, and the state has withdrawn her parental rights to all of them. The CPS report says that four of the six other kids tested positive for drugs when they were born; Shade, meanwhile, reportedly tested positive for cannabis and cocaine during the pregnancies.
Shade is currently in custody at the Lansing Police detention center on $11,000 bond, according to the State Journal.


Diffen is an interesting take on marrying wikipedia style editing with product comparison/differences.
Diffen is a user-generated (Wiki style) collection of differences and comparisons. For e.g. you can use Diffen to know the difference between a jail and a prison as well as compare iPod and Zune.
The concept is very neat and if Diffen executes it well, I do see a strong adoption of such a comparator service. What can really work in Diffen's benefit is that people don't necessarily look for verbose comparison (i.e. mouthshut styled), but they really want is a quick feature-by-feature comparison and somewhat detailed.
Diffen is a user-generated (aka Wiki) collection of differences and comparisons. What is the difference between Shia and Sunni? Blu-ray and HD DVD? Jail and Prison? Communism and socialism? Zune and iPod? Living in Mumbai vs. living in Bangalore? Diffen is a place for such differences and comparisons.
We have customized MediaWiki – the software that Wikipedia runs on. Users have a WYSIWYG editor for editing the articles and they can also leave their comments on the comparisons. This allows people to express their opinions (while the article only has facts).
As far as improvements are concerned, Diffen team really needs to really work on involving the community. To start off, they need to really make the editing process a breeze (especially with objective comparison section).
Give Diffen a spin and please share your comments.


One of the best ways to ensure that the concrete floor in your garage looks its best and lasts for a long time is by sealing it. There are a variety of different concrete floor sealers that you can use in your garage to protect it, each of which offers distinctive advantages and disadvantages. Here are a few of the options to consider as well as a look at some of the pros and cons of each to keep in mind with information from All Garage Floors.
An epoxy garage floor sealer can protect the concrete floor in your garage from gasoline, oils, road salts, chemicals, water and more – perfect for the kind of conditions that most garage floors need to endure. Epoxy floor systems are also known for being hard to chip or scratch, and they can prevent spalling from occurring in the winter as a result of freeze-thaw damage. Additionally, an epoxy seal can last for as long as 15 years if applied correctly. It's why many commercial companies use epoxy concrete sealers in warehouses, showrooms and more. However, this high resistance and long life comes with a higher price – epoxy sealant is typically more expensive than some of the alternatives. In addition, it can also take several days to install an epoxy sealer and allow it to cure, depending on the size of your garage.
If you want the concrete floor in your garage to look glossy, an acrylic sealer will get the job done. When you put this sealer down on a bare concrete floor, it will instantly make it look a lot better, and it won't take very long to install or cost you a fortune. It's a great option for a partially finished garage or hangout space where you'll be spending time socializing instead of parking your vehicles. However, acrylic doesn't protect concrete floors from oil, chemicals and other substances as well as epoxy does. That means in a typical garage, acrylic sealant will need to be reapplied regularly – often once every one to two years.
Not everyone wants or needs the glossy look that acrylic sealers will provide. For those people who don't mind a concrete floor that looks like well, concrete, a penetrating sealer is a great option. It's designed to penetrate deep down into the concrete while forming a sealed barrier at the concrete's surface. While penetrating sealant won't provide the looks and sheen that other sealers deliver, you can count on this seal to last for several years and protect your floor from the elements and stresses of garage use.
Are you interested in installing a new concrete garage floor or do you need help bringing your old concrete garage floor back to life? Templin Concrete Construction can install, seal and care for concrete garage floors throughout east-central Minnesota. To learn more, call us at 612-388-1945 today and find out how you can improve the concrete floor of your garage.

Competition Is Good
Tommy Lee is gearing up for Chesterfield's assault on League Two, and the 'keeper is not fazed by the introduction of competition.
Former Sheffield Wednesday stopper Richard O'Donnell was bought in by John Sherdian to add competition for the number one jersey.
Speaking to Spireites Player, Lee revealed that he welcomed the competiton for his place.
He said: "Competition is always good. No matter what position you play it keeps people on their toes."
The news that coach Mark Crossley would be remaining at the club, following an approach from Championship side Birmingham City, is another boost for the 26-year-old.
"I've said it before Mark's been brilliant for me since he came to the club but so have the gaffer (John Sheridan) and Tommy (Wright).
He added: "They've brought my career on and all three of them deserve everything that they get in the game."

← What would Jesus do in the credit crunch?
I don't want to be a 'Protestant' →
Being parochial is good
Speech at the diocesan synod on Wednesday, 15th October at 5 pm(assuming that the surgeon at the clinic in the morning releases me)
The financial turmoil of these past months resulting in yesterday's emergency budget is a reminder, as if we needed one, that there are no processes in human history that are inexorable; even things lasting centuries can come to sudden and unexpected ends. The collapse of financial institutions has exacerbated an already perceptible trend towards questioning the neo-liberal capitalism and modernist secularism that has shaped our societies in recent decades. Anyone who has followed the election results across Europe in recent months will have noticed a shift towards hard-line nationalism and scepticism towards institutions and governments. The rise of the Far Right is something that must be a cause for concern.
Crises, though, are always opportunities; times of questioning the passing of particular phases of our history are an opportunity for those of us who have a timeless message, one that endures in all circumstances. These days are ones of opportunity for the church to point people towards real riches, towards a wealth that does not depend on stock market indices. They are particularly days of opportunity for traditional churches like ourselves because traditional churches are those that have endured the cycles of history; those that have come through the Shakespearean slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. In times of uncertainty, the church speaks of communities who, through the grace of God, have come through dark days and uncertain days, and days when the world as we knew it seemed to be coming to an end.
At meetings of the Diocesan Council for Mission we have been mindful that the need is for a strengthening of the church where it is because where it is, in towns, in villages, in communities, pointing towards eternal things, is where it needs to be, and we have looked around and we have said, "What is going on? What good news stories are not being heard? What resources are on our own doorstep that we haven't even noticed?" What became apparent, when we looked, was that God was doing all sorts of things, that the Kingdom was being built, but that we weren't telling anyone about many of the things that were happening.
Perhaps we need to be more confident about who we are. To be dismissive towards history and heritage would be to be naïve in our understanding of the world and neglectful of our ability to speak to communities in a way that no other body can. In her book Journeying Out, the mission writer Ann Morisy says, "The fact churches have been present in a community for decades, if not for centuries, counts for something. No other agency will have the voice and depth of history that the church represents, and the local church must harness and be allowed to harness, this asset wisely and generously because it cannot be easily replicated".
Morisy says that only the traditional church can provide ceremonies apt for particular moments. Ann Morisy says that incidents such as the Soham murders in England challenged the church to do what only it could "to give the community access to the church's substantial repertoire of high symbols in order to provide succour in their intense distress". I think we saw that here in 2001 when the national day of mourning for the victims of the September 11th attacks was an occasion when only the high symbols of the traditional church would have sufficed.
We have been given the privilege of receiving a heritage that places us at the heart of communities, of having a profile that is often far, far bigger than our numbers would merit, but that privilege brings with it the responsibility—the responsibility to be truly parochial, to be churches in and for places, and not to be congregational, not to be gatherings of people unmindful of our localities. We have the responsibility to be churches that are communities for all the people in our care, not just the people who are like us, not just the people we like.
Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, preaching at Loughlinstown last year, said, "When we speak of community we should remember that the church is the community not just of the saints, but of those who are struggling, of those who fall and fail. Community is the place where people are welcomed and are carried and where we can learn from one another without any prejudice". This is the fullness of the mission that Jesus describes and this is the sort of church that as a council for mission we must try to support, in our sometimes fumbling, hesitant and uncertain ways, by whatever means we can find.
Jesus is challenged by the Pharisees about the people with whom he associated, their concept of holiness demanded separation from such people, Jesus responds in simple terms, "I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance" (Luke 5:32). Archbishop Martin's vision of community is one that includes those who are struggling, those who fall and those who fail. Such a community is only possible by the church embracing society, including its sinners. Where people must choose to join the church, the very people most in need of the Good News, those furthest from God, may feel that the church has nothing to offer them and that they have no place in the church.
Our church would be arrogant if we did not acknowledge the diversity of our society and there is space for diversity within our church, for the church to seek to express itself in new and creative ways, but at our heart we must be the community of God's people drawing other people into the life of that community. If our church is not God's community embracing the whole community and engaging with every aspect of society, then what we offer are just choices amongst the many choices available; then our values are just the values of one group amongst many groups, each with its own set of values. We are in a market place, where competing interests scream for attention, if we believe in the uniqueness of Jesus Christ, then we do not serve his claims by being winsome.
Being a community that accepts those who fall and those who fail means we fall short of the ideal church of the New Testament. There is a danger in being parochial that our community becomes an end in itself rather than as a means of pointing people towards Jesus Christ; a community that has sinners as well as saints is not perfect. Yet if we are a community that draws people into its life, if we are a community focused upon Jesus rather than ourselves, then we have the opportunity that otherwise simply does not exist, to fulfil Jesus' commission to make disciples of all people.

Clergy have by their ordination vows accepted additional responsibilities and accountabilities for doctrine, discipline, worship and obedience. This process of accountability, as set out in Title IV of the Constitution and Canons for the Government of The Episcopal Church ("Title IV"), seeks to promote justice, restitution, amendment of life, repentance, healing, forgiveness and reconciliation among all involved or affected by clergy misconduct.
Before July 1, 2011, clergy disciplinary matters were brought to the bishop or the Standing Committee. Since July 1, 2011 (under the revised Title IV canons), all matters are to be reported to an Intake Officer (contact information below) who will create a written report. Following that, the matter could be resolved by pastoral care, mediation, an agreement with the bishop, an investigation, or any combination of these.
If it moves to an investigation, some of those matters could go to a more formal mediation and if necessary, a hearing. The resolution of the matter could be anything that will move those affected to justice, restitution, amendment of life, repentance, healing, forgiveness and reconciliation. This could include suspension or removal from ordained ministry.
The clergy disciplinary process is similar to that used in other professions, such as doctors and lawyers.

Suresnes, a town with an eclectic architecture, surprises by its past full of history. Indeed, it had a role in the wars that raged in France because of its fortress, but it has also seduced throughout its history, Parisians looking for a bucolic place close to Paris. From the Mont Valérien to its guinguettes, the city boasts luxury goods and suburban residences, alongside the active life of the city centre and its numerous infrastructures. While from the Cité Jardin to the English Village, the past borders modernity, with typical British houses against tall buildings surrounded by green spaces stand nearby. Diversity is therefore the strength of Suresnes, and this is its watchword, as it has a wide variety of properties and neighborhoods that can attract a wide range of buyers. Very well connected, Suresnes has seen its real estate market explode in recent years, and its gentle way of life alongside an active lifestyle is attracting more and more buyers. Paris Ouest Sotheby's International Realty thus opens its market to this promising town and offers you properties, from villas to luxury apartments.
Until the middle of the 19th century, Suresnes was only a village, wedged between the banks of the Seine and the Mont Valérien, on the slopes of which the Romans had planted vines. Also grow cereals and fruit trees in a rural environment.
In the 17th century, the construction of a Calvary, on the mount at the foot of which is the Tertre fountain, which is said to be miraculous, attracted pilgrims to attack 100 steps and steep paths marked out by seven small chapels. At the time, a simple ferry links the wood to the small town, where pilgrims take advantage of the sweetness of the cabarets, quench their thirst in the white vineyards of Suresnes and a few wealthy Parisians build beautiful residences with gardens.
Today, Suresnes, backed by Paris by the Bois de Boulogne, is a city of 50,000 inhabitants where life is good, to the rhythm of the Zola and Caron markets; a few vines remain close to the American cemetery, the Resistance wall and the renowned Foch Hospital. You can enjoy a breathtaking view of Paris from the top of the Fécheray terrace. It is thus common to say that Suresnes is a country town at the gates of Paris, offering a more soothing living environment, as revealed by its motto "No one comes out of Suresnes, who often does not return there"
Liberté - Mont Valérien
It was not until 1850 that the current fortress was built. With its characteristic star shape, its high walls and its wide moats, it constitutes one of the most important pillars of the enclosure imagined by Thiers to defend Paris. Thus, Mont Valérien passes from a place of pilgrimage to a key element of several wars. It was marked by the Franco-Prussian War, where it served as a powerful defense against German soldiers, but also by the First World War, where it became the benchmark for military transmissions, as well as by the construction of the American cemetery in 1917. Finally, during the Second World War, the fort was occupied by the German army; it's a garrison. It was not until 1944 that the colours of the French flag sprang from the fort, which then definitively belonged to France. Today, while being a museum, it retains the imprint of world wars and its role in transmissions.
Rue de la Tuilerie: A remarkable element is to be emphasized in this street; in fact, there still remains the house where an Indo-American spy lived. In fact, Noor Inayat Khan, daughter of a musician, grew up in Suresnes in the 1920s, and when the Second World War broke out, she decided to fight with France by joining the Resistance. She was betrayed and killed while working as a radio operator. Today, a school in Suresnes bears his name in tribute to his bravery.
Foch Hospital and demeure Worth: At the request of the famous fashion designer Charles-Frédéric Worth in 1867, Denis Darcy, renowned architect, completed the construction of the Worth house. This exceptional building, of extreme luxury, extends over 15,000 m2 and was made up of various gardens bordering the house with both Florentine and medieval architecture. It should be noted that in these gardens, were exposed many elements coming from the castle of the Tuileries burnt down in 1871. This construction was destroyed by the couturier's son, Frédéric, from 1892, and the remains of the castle of the Tuileries recovered by the department of Seine Maritime. There remains only the door on avenue F. Roosevelt; the Balsan pavilion was built at the same time as the castle was destroyed (in 1892, therefore)… it still exists at the entrance to the Foch hospital, itself built from 1932 to 1936 on this large plot of one hectare and half left fallow since 1892.
Industrial development, the construction of a bridge and the arrival of the railroad allowed the development of Suresnes. Parisians come to have fun in the taverns like Le Père Lapin, formerly known as La Maison Verte, with a very bad reputation, before becoming a must on Sundays in the countryside, as well as the neighboring Longchamp racecourse. The revolution of 1848 took with it the castle of Baron de Rothschild, and the Château de la Source, from which the Park still survives, which shelters a foundation where Adèle Hugo took refuge on the death of her father. At the edge of the Seine quays, this space still seduces with its flora and fauna, the pavilions surrounding it offer a serene and family life.
Cité Jardin
Then many factories are installed there, and the city grows, in a somewhat empirical way, from the Seine to the flanks of Mont Valérien. The streets of Suresnes still bear the names of the industrialists of the time, the couturier Worth lived there, and François Coty set up his perfume workshops there. Henri Sellier, future mayor of Suresnes, built the Cité Jardin to house workers there with dignity. It is thus easily remarkable that the streets bear the name of humanist thinkers, like Grotius or Jean Jaurès. La Cité Jardin is therefore in the image of these thinkers, combining buildings and pavilions, offering a peaceful life thanks to places of worship, school and cultural spaces. The imprint of the 1920s is preserved until today, offering passers-by a journey back in time.
The "English village" ("Village Anglais"), such is the name given to the housing estate built in 1920, it derives this name from its typically British architecture. These homogeneous houses, aligned along a street, a pleasant place to stroll, facing colorful façades like rue de La Belle Gabrielle. Today, the heart of the city retains its original architecture.
Boulevard Henri Sellier: its name serving as a tribute to the former mayor of Suresnes, boulevard Henri Sellier was initially designed to respond to the increasing influx of visitors. It is the largest boulevard in Suresnes and connects the bridge to Boulevard de République. First bearing the name of boulevard de Versailles, the boulevard underwent several modifications. It is now possible to walk there, in particular to visit the Coty factory.

Embattled retailer Toys R Us has confirmed plans to close nearly a third of its UK stores, putting approximately 800 jobs at risk.
The announcement comes as the key Christmas trading period gets into full swing. The retailer, which has been loss-making for several years, said all of its outlets will trade as normal "well into the New Year".
However, it will thereafter move to enter into a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) with its creditors in a bid to "transform" the business.
In September, Toys R US filed for bankruptcy protection in the US, which was described at that time as one of the largest-ever Chapter 11 filings. The UK division has also been battling difficult market conditions as consumer buying patterns shift.
Steve Knights, managing director of Toys R Us UK, said many of the chain's smaller stores were performing well, and online sales are also robust. But larger warehouse-style outlets opened in the 1980s and 1990s are now "too big and expensive to run" in the current environment.
An announcement on which sites are due to close is expected later this afternoon.
"All of our stores across the UK remain open for business as normal through Christmas and well into the New Year," Knights said. "Customers can also continue to shop online and there will be no changes to our returns policies or gift cards across this period.
The group has submitted a comprehensive restructuring plan to its creditors, and will seek approval from them to implement its plan during the next 17 days. If the plan is put into action, at least 26 stores will be shuttered, with closures beginning in the spring of next year.
The toy retailer has struggled with debt since private-equity firms Bain Capital, KKR & Co and Vornado Realty Trust took it private in a 6.6 billion buyout in 2005, with experts saying that high levels of borrowing have held the group back from investing in its business.


I don't care if Pillar hit a walk-off home run, nothing can ever redeem him from his reaction after Bautista got rocked by Odor last year. I don't know what his plan was, and I don't know if he did either.
But, in the end, the M's end up getting swept in a four-game series, and Safeco is looking sweeter and sweeter by the second.
We could see Miranda for most if not all of this season. He's been filling in for the injured Drew Smyly, but was looking bullpen-bound in Spring Training. Granted, this hasn't been the most routine month or so for the bullpen, but nobody has particularly stood out, and the idea of Chase de Jong spending more time than absolutely necessary scares the crap out of me. If Smyly gets healthy enough to get back in the rotation, I could see Miranda spending some time as a long reliever in the 'pen.
Pitch count was the real issue for Miranda, who ended after 100 pitches over five innings. That suggests he wasn't controlling the zone as much as the Seattle brass would like, getting deeper into at-bats than necessary. His third walk came on his final pitch, and ended up scoring on a home run by Justin Smoak. Regardless, it's more than we can ask for right now from a Mariners pitching staff that is absolutely in shambles.
Speaking of people who look like ghosts, Steve Cishek is finally off the DL, out of AAA and back in a Mariner bullpen that so desperately needs help. Robbie Canó continues to sit to let that quad injury heal up, and 500 other injuries continue as usual. Mitch Haniger took a hitting session today and felt zero pain, which is excellent news.
The M's host the A's for a three-game series, hoping to make up for the ground lost on a 2-4 road trip.


The aim of this NSF Phase I proposal was to prove the feasibility of employing variable polarization ultrasonic shear waves generated by a proprietary Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) and custom instrumentation for detecting and sizing defects in engineering structures and components. The research sought to establish a thorough understanding of how the novel ultrasonic sensor functions, the potential advantages and limitations, and to form a solid basis for ongoing product development. The successful Phase I research has resulted in a new Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) test method that has been named Shear Polarization Contrast (SPC). The SPC method exploits the EMAT and instrumentation capabilities by subjecting the test material to two shear waves having a common propagation path but orthogonal polarizations, and comparing (contrasting) these two responses. Since cracks modify the local elastic tensor in a highly directional way, the interaction between the crack and the two shear waves propagating along the crack plane depends on whether the polarization (particle motion) is perpendicular (most affected) or parallel (least affected) to the crack surface. With the underlying acoustic phenomena now understood, and repeatable accurate procedures developed to locate and size defects, the PI is confident that a test instrument can be developed and employed in a broad range of industrial applications. In Phase II, field and laboratory instrumentation incorporating SPC will be developed and then marketed in Phase III to researchers, NDE service providers and equipment suppliers that service the various industries reliant upon storage vessels, structural components, piping, etc. that are made of metals and require structural integrity testing.
manufacturing and industrial processing. In many applications, this new technology will allow testing to be done while production continues, which will save labor cost and eliminate lost revenues from production down-time.

The growth of production in the North American oil and gas industry has been unprecedented over the past decade, with the U.S. recently overtaking Saudi Arabia and Russia as the world's largest oil producer. Power supply is at the heart of this boom, from the 200A panels that distribute power for man camps to the natural gas generators that convert once-wasted by product gas into valuable energy for pump jacks and other equipment. With its broad array of precision-engineered power distribution, power generation and welding products―and its reputation for unrivaled quality and customer service, HIPOWER SYSTEMS is poised to lead that charge.
Over the past decade, new exploration and extraction technologies have revolutionized oil and gas production in North America and generated an incredible boom for the local economies that support these efforts. In the U.S. alone, oil production has reached a 28-year high and has helped the U.S. reduce oil imports to roughly 50 percent. Oil and gas activities have resulted in direct job growth of 40 percent from 2007-2014, with U.S. oil and gas now supporting nearly 10 million workers. These jobs have added roughly $1.2 trillion to the U.S. economy.
Despite these impressive benefits, the North American oil and gas industry is not without its challenges, as government agencies increasingly demand that producers reduce their environmental footprint. From dramatic requirements for emissions reduction in machinery to incremental penalties for carbon-intensive activities such as flaring, oil and gas producers are under pressure to improve their environmental records without curtailing production and economic growth.
Into this landscape comes HIPOWER SYSTEMS, a recognized leader in the design, manufacture and sales of technologically advanced, high-quality power distribution and generation equipment. Since our inception, we have created products with an equal focus on long, reliable operating life and energy efficiency, reducing both operating costs and environmental impact. We continually design new products to fulfill the emerging needs of our oil and gas customers, and we operate under the principal that a well-built, resilient product both benefits and empowers its operator and the people and places that it serves.
The future is bright and the horizon unlimited for the North American oil and gas industry, and HIPOWER SYSTEMS will be supporting that future, every step of the way.


To wrap up our Green Building Week, we rounded up a few of the LEED certified buildings that have invested in the sustainable bathroom solution with our waterfree technology. Each of these buildings have applied policies and procedures to promote environmental stewardship and create healthy work environments for employees.
The USGBC headquarters in Washington, DC was the first to achieve LEED certification. Now they have developed a living lab for people to experience and learn the ins out outs of how green buildings work. If you're still in D.C for the GreenBuild Expo, it is worth taking a look.
Santa Clara University's Student Activities Center in Silicone Valley, was rewarded the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design in 2010. With energy efficient features, water saving practices and sustainable design, the University has earned the Gold certification.
Last but not least, in 2013 the M&T Stadium in Baltimore, became the first existing outdoor professional sports facility in the United States – including all NFL and Major League Baseball stadiums – to receive USGBC's Gold LEED rating.
Hope you had a great week in Washington, D.C. Did you hear that our Hybrid was rewarded Top Ten product of 2016? Very exciting!!!


Paul wrote to Galatian believers to provide understanding of the reality of their freedom in Christ. He wanted to make sure they understood that keeping the law of Moses was not a factor in order to be saved.
The Galatians were on the verge of again becoming enslaved to the law of Moses.
Paul wanted them to know that they only need to stand fast in the Liberty which is in Christ Jesus.
Freedom in Christ does not involve self-rule and independence from God. It doesn't require you performing certain actions to gain God's acceptance. Circumcision didn't bring about liberty for Galatian believers and "works" won't bring about liberty for you.
No one is able to keep the whole law! For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, but through the atoning work of Christ; all who believe and trust in Him can experience true liberty.
In Christ, you are free—free from the power of sin and selfish independence.
In Christ, there is Liberty!

It's in the cards: the administrivia of phone sex
January 22, 2013 / By camerynmoore / in Phone Whore, Uncategorized/ No comment
I reached 800 callers this week. That means that 800 different, individual men have called me for help in getting off, over the last three years and nine months. I realize that's not many, as far as the industry goes, but it's about as many as can comfortably fit in my card box.
I started out with a box that my checks came in, partly because that's what I had on hand, and partly because I think I may have still had some wishful thinking that I wouldn't be doing the work for long. When I reached capacity on the check box and was just hitting my stride, that's when I went ahead and invested in a proper card file box, and the little alphabetized dividers, too. By now the dividers are getting a little frayed, but otherwise, very secretarial, huh?
My format is this: On the front, upper left, their unique ID number. Next to that, their first name and initial. Below that, my stats, if they differ from my usual: actual age, eye and hair color, 42DDD (six inches smaller than my real band size), 5'9" (one inch shorter than my actual height, does 5'10" sound intimidatingly taller than 5'9", or am I just making shit up?). But if they want me to be 58 years old, or be a petite brunette, I write that down. Underneath that, what they want, with addenda, if it changes over time. Their state. Their birthday, if they tell it to me. Anything that might help me get a read on them and what they like to hear.
The back of R.'s first card, before I knew how much was coming...
The back of R.'s most recent card. He calls a lot.
Most of the callers only have one card each, but my regulars have two cards or more, paper-clipped together as time goes on. You can see the tops of the clips in the picture. The title of Most Cards is currently shared between two regulars, each of whom has six cards in their stack. A., one of my whiniest mommyfuckers, has racked up 216 calls, beginning May 16, 2009, while R, a cheerful butt-sniffer, has 215 calls, starting April 24, 2009. That's an average of about five calls per month.
Back then, I didn't know that my regulars could be so, well, regular. It is obvious, from the way I started the first card that I had no concept of what this work would entail: at the beginning, my writing is huge and spacious, taking up lots of room. All of the cards I started in the first couple of months were probably like that. But there on those two callers' cards, by the time I'd taken their calls for a few weeks, I started shrinking my handwriting down, save space, save paper, and now the formatting is all the same: two columns per side, top to bottom, 12 or 13 entries per column.
Doesn't matter how tightly I scribble now, I'm running out of room. 800 cards take up a lot of room. At a certain point, probably in the next six months, I will need to buy another box, or at least a bigger one, and when I think about that purchase point, I have to force myself not to apply any significance or symbolism or measure of my intentions to keep going, to keep building my caller files. Or, you know, maybe, to not.
OOOH, PICTURES! Mostly, though, I just use my words, as you will see if you poke around in this blog... Like it? Well, show your love NOW by pitching in some funds to get me and my solo play Phone Whore to the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Read all about it by clicking on the Indiegogo button below.

Oppenheimer Park Tent City Cleared During COVID-19 Pandemic
BC Housing is attempting to temporarily rehome campers
News / May 30, 2020
by Lisa Hedmark
Oppenheimer Park, located in the Downtown East Side of Vancouver, B.C. (Lisa Hedmark)
Shane Simpson, B.C.'s Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction, announced a public safety order on April 25 to shut down and clear out the Downtown East Side's Oppenheimer Park or "tent city" camp over fears of COVID-19 spreading through the at-risk community.
Simpson says "service providers and emergency responders struggled to safely deliver services to the park in the context of this pandemic, increasing vulnerability of people living in encampments."
The park is now completely cleared, surrounded by blue gates with spikes on top, and patrolled by a security car in case any people attempt to enter the park.
"The intent of the process [of moving campers out of Oppenheimer Park] was to address the immediate and pressing safety risks facing our province's most vulnerable by moving people away from dense encampments like Oppenheimer and into more secure, indoor accommodation that allows people improved access to hygiene facilities and wraparound healthcare and social support," says Simpson.
Before the park was cleared, the local government and British Columbia Centre on Substance Abuse released a safe supply program with clinical guidance to help drug users during the COVID-19 pandemic. With borders closed to non-essential travel, drug users might struggle with finding a safe supply or being able to afford it due to the increased price of street drugs.
People who use methadone risk contracting COVID-19 when they go to pharmacies for their dose. The new program allows users and people on methadone to either take multiple days or weeks of a prescribed drug home. They may also be prescribed the pharmaceutical equivalents of their street drug of choice.
The park was ordered to be cleared of all campers by May 9, after two years of occupation there. Social workers and volunteers provided services to the occupants and a small safe injection site was operating in a tent. In the end, everything that was not removed by the former occupants was bulldozed and thrown into a garbage truck. One woman said in an interview with Vice that her son's and her mother's ashes were in a tent that she was not able to clear in time, and she lost their remains as a result.
The city attempted to shut down the camp in August 2019, according to an article by The Star. The city's second attempt was under a much stricter time constraint due to the fear of COVID-19 spreading through the park, as two cases were confirmed in Vancouver homeless shelters.
The BC Housing website lists all of the measures the local government is taking during this pandemic to fight the spread of COVID-19. The last point on the list states that they have "provided temporary indoor housing for everyone who was living at Oppenheimer Park in Vancouver, and are in the process of doing the same for those living at Topaz Park and along Pandora Avenue in Victoria."
The City of Vancouver has also pledged to install safer bathrooms, removing current porta-potties and replacing them with staffed trailers. Mayor Kennedy Stewart said in a press release that "the installation of these temporary washroom trailers will ensure that all residents can access essential facilities in a safe and hygienic way."
Now that Oppenheimer park is closed, Yaletown residents have complained about increased violence and drug use in their neighborhood. Residents of the park are reported to have been rehomed to hotels closer to Vancouver's downtown core.
"I do know the Howard Johnson on Granville Street is one of them and the Holiday Inn has some former Oppenheimer residents there," said City Councillor Pete Fry in an interview with CTV News.
The future of Oppenheimer Park residents is uncertain, but plans to reopen the park have not yet been announced.
