This event represents collaboration between the Project Office and a local Portsmouth youth charity called Motiv8. The success of a previous one-day event coordinated by the Project Office in March 2013, that involved local community members and school pupils from Portsmouth, provided the theme for this intensive 4-day project. The ambition of this event was to assist with the creation of designs for a new Motiv8 'Gateway' and, additionally, propose inspiring, creative and feasible ideas to revitalise the existing Omega Centre building currently occupied by Motiv8. This design workshop created some collateral to be used for the Reaching Communities application and could be used to bring together the community within the building but also by offering support to local families and children. This event was used to raise awareness within the community about the activities of Motiv8.
The Client representatives for this project Mr Charlie Ade and Mr Steve Nash, have been provided with an inspiring range of ideas for the redesign of the premises Motiv8 currently use at the Omega Centre; these include not only abstract visions of how the venue could be used, but also feasible proposals that can be transformed in to 'real' solutions. Motiv8 have stated that the results of this four-day design workshop will become part of future funding applications.

Children love to play. This truth will always remain a timeless classic, and it holds true over all species of animals. But there is more to this childhood state of mind; it comes with an openness to new ideas and new friends. As one proud owner found out, children love to play with each other – even when they come from different species.
This owner had an adorable four month old puppy. The pup is already sweet and mild-mannered, but he is about to learn so much more from his new friend. Recently, the dog's owner has gotten a tiny baby goat.
This goat was only four days old, but he was ready to meet the puppy. The two were so cute already, of course they would be adorable together! Still, the owner must have been a little anxious to see what would happen when she put the two in the same enclosed area. She took out her video camera and prepared to find out.
The two immediately took an interest in each other. They each extended their snouts, trying to figure out what the other animal was. Then the baby goat explored the new environment. The little guy was curious about everything he saw – and tried to sniff it all.
The puppy, however, was still fascinated with the goat. Who was this new friend, anyway? He watched, from a distance at first, but slowly the goat made his way back to the pup.
They bumped their noses against each other in a sweet display. When the goat got distracted and walked away, the puppy couldn't take it!
He bounded over, jumping in the little goat's way. The puppy wanted to play with him. As the goat hopped around the room, the puppy dog's tail wagged faster and faster.
The pup turned into a white blur as he rushed around the room. He was going so fast he couldn't stop himself – he kept sliding on the wooden floor, comically crashing into furniture and his doggie-divider.
All this puppy wanted to do was play with his new goat friend. He excitedly circled around the goat. He even nibbled at his ears. This dog was determined to have the new guy join in on the fun.
After hopping in a frenzy around the room, the puppy finally accepted the calm demeanor of the baby goat. These two are going to make quite the team when they get older.
This adorable duo proves you don't have to have much in common to become great friends.

We can't get enough of hats. We probably wear hats 1-2 times on any given week.
Hats are an instant solution for our bed head, and when we are rushing to be somewhere and want to look pulled together. We were influenced early on by Audrey, Tony Alva, Blossom, and Indiana Jones. If you wanna go back even further we've been getting inspiration from Wyatt Earp, Davy Crockett, and the Eskimo's! I know I know, I'm all over the place but so is fashion and it just keeps recycling. Thank God for the original OG's.

The Fußballspielvereinigung Budissa Bautzen is a German association football club from Bautzen, Saxony. Founded as Fußballclub Budissa Bautzen on 24 May 1904, the club participated in East German football after World War II.

History

FC played in the VMBV (Verband Mitteldeutscher Ballspielvereine or Central German Federation of Ballsport Teams), one of the country's early regional leagues. They were renamed Sportverein Budissa 04 in 1907 and went on to claim several local championships in the Gau Oberlausitz in the 1910s and again in the early 1930s. This led to repeated appearances in the regional championship round where they were usually eliminated in early rounds. By the time World War II broke out in 1939, SVB was playing third-tier ball on the local circuit.

After the war, the Allied authorities banned existing organizations in the country, including sports and football clubs. Budissa was re-established in 1946 as Sparte Süd, but was soon playing as Sportgemeinde Bautzen-Süd. In 1949, that club merged with SG Bautzen-West (successor of Bautzner SC) to form BSG Einheit Bautzen. The following year the club was renamed BSG Motor Bautzen.

The team soon earned a Bezirksliga (III) title that advanced them to East Germany's second division DDR-Liga in 1954. League restructuring the next season saw Bautzen in the third division 2. DDR-Liga where they would compete until winning their way back to the DDR-Liga (II) in 1958. After a couple of close brushes with relegation the club was sent back down after the 1960 campaign, but immediately re-claimed a place in second-tier play, remaining there until the 1967–68 season. Except for a brief return to the DDR-Liga in 1974–1976, Motor spent the next two dozen seasons bouncing between third and fourth division play.

Throughout this period, the club was regularly participating in the opening rounds of the FDGB-Pokal (East German Cup), but did not enjoy any success in playing there.

After German re-unification in 1990 the club reclaimed its heritage and reestablished itself as Fußballspielvereinigung Budissa Bautzen. They made a brief two-season appearance in the Landesliga Sachsen (V) in 1992–94. FSV was promoted to the Landesliga a second time in 2002 and this time captured the 2005 championship to advance to the NOFV-Oberliga Süd. The club played at this level for nine seasons, coming close to promotion in 2010 and 2013 when it finished runners-up. A league title in 2014 finally took the club up to the Regionalliga Nordost in 2014.

Budissa finished their 2018–19 Regionalliga season in last place, being automatically relegated to the Oberliga Süd (V). Afterwards, the club announced that it had decided to only field a team in the sixth-rank league Sachsenliga for the 2019–20 season, a decision said to have mostly been motivated by financial reasons.

Home News The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme/Job Support Scheme
The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme/Job Support Scheme
The existing Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (or Furlough Scheme) will finish at the end of October as originally planned. However, this will be replaced by a new Job Support Scheme from 1 November. The details we have so far are:
The scheme is intended to support viable UK employers who face a reduced demand as a result of COVID-19.
Employees will need to work at least a third of their normal hours and be paid in full by their employer for that time.
For every hour not worked, the government and the employer will each pay one third of the employee's usual pay.
The government contribution will be capped at £697.92 per month.
This means employees will receive at least 77% of their usual pay if the government contribution is less than the cap.
Employers will be reimbursed in arrears for the government contribution i.e. this must be paid to the employee and then claimed back.
The employee must not be on a redundancy notice.
The scheme will run for a period of six months from 1 November 2020.
It will be open to all employers with a UK bank account and UK PAYE scheme, even if relevant employees have not previously been furloughed.
All small and medium sized businesses will be eligible.
Any large businesses must demonstrate that they have been adversely affected by COVID-19. In addition, the government expect that distributions to shareholders (e.g. dividends) will not be made whilst using the scheme.
The scheme is to be extended for a further six months covering the period November 2020 to April 2021.
It will be limited to self employed individuals who are eligible under the current rules and are actively continuing to trade but facing a reduced demand as a result of COVID-19.
As with previous payments, it will be in the form of two taxable grants.
The first grant will cover the period November 2020 to January 2021. It will cover 20% of average monthly trading profits, capped at a total of £1,875.
The second grant will cover February 2021 to April 2021. The rate for the second grant will be confirmed in due course.
Other announcements:
The reduced VAT rate of 5% for businesses operating in the hospitality and tourism industry was due to end on 12 January. However, this has now been extended to 31 March 2021.
The government backed loan schemes will be extended to 30 November 2020 for new applications. This includes the Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS), the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS), the large scheme (CLBILS) and the Future Fund.
Pay as you grow – Businesses that have borrowed under the BBLS will have the option to pay back their loan over a period of up to ten years. In addition, they will also have the option to move to interest only payments for up to six months.
The government also intends to allow CBILS lenders to increase the term of a loan to up to ten years.
Businesses who deferred their VAT liability earlier in the year will be given the option to spread their payments over the 2021/2022 financial year. All businesses will be eligible but will need to opt in when the process is launched during early 2021.
Taxpayers will be given more time to settle self assessment tax liabilities falling due during January 2021. Those with liabilities of up to £30,000 will be able to use a time to pay facility to spread the liability over an additional twelve months.
As with previous announcements, further guidance is likely to be released in the coming weeks.

Acer unveiled two Predator gaming laptops at CES this year, the Triton 900 and the Triton 500. Though they share a name and Nvidia's latest RTX graphics technology, the two are wildly different. And indeed, the Triton 900 is wild, full stop.
The Triton 900 isn't like any other gaming laptop out there, with a hinged rotating display that makes it something of a hyper-powered 2-in-1 laptop. The Triton 500, meanwhile, takes on a much more traditional laptop shape, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have lots of standout features. The Triton 500 will launch in February starting at $1,799.99, while the Triton 900 will start selling in March for a cool $3,999. Read on for my impressions and some photos of this unique one-two punch.
At a glance, the Triton 900 can appear like a standard, albeit fancy, gaming laptop. The keyboard is shifted down to the front edge, while the touchpad is off to the right side.
Tilting the screen back will reveal the Triton 900's unique functionality for a system of this kind. Thanks to what Acer calls the Ezel Aero Hinge, the Triton 900's screen can flip, rotate, and recline. It's admittedly more of a nice feature to have than it is essential, especially at this screen size, but there's no denying it's cool in action.
You can pull the screen up to the edge of the keyboard to set it closer to you, or rotate it back as shown here. In addition to the standard notebook mode, the Triton 900 can also switch to Display mode, Easel mode, and Stand mode just like much smaller portable 2-in-1 laptops.
The screen can rotate all the way around to the rear, like so, and even go virtually flat if you want to use it like a large tablet. The 17.3-inch screen boasts a 4K resolution and G-Sync technology, so you should be more than happy to soak it in and play, create, or consume media on it from every angle.
The size of the chassis doesn't just offer the benefit of being able to house a big screen. It also allows powerful parts to be packed in. The Triton 900 has an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 (not even the Max-Q version, the full one!), 16GB of memory, and two 512GB SSDs in RAID 0. This should add up to a blistering gaming laptop, and you've got a great screen to play on.
There's enough connectivity around the system for almost any need, including a USB 3.1 port, a USB-C port, an Ethernet jack, and even a dedicated VR USB-C hookup.
The left edge holds much less in comparison, but you'll still appreciate its USB 3.1 port and audio jacks.
While it may not be a hybrid head-turner like its sibling, the Triton 500 has plenty to offer. It's a handsome machine with an all-metal body, making it feel sturdy and high-end without too exorbitant of a price. For a powerful gaming laptop that doesn't especially tout portability as its main priority, the Triton 500 measures just 0.7 inch thick. It also weighs 4.6 pounds, which, while not groundbreaking, makes toting it around regularly seem reasonable.
The 15.6-inch IPS display bears a full HD resolution, but the features scale between models. The entry-level configuration is a full HD screen with a 60Hz refresh rate and a 3ms response time, while the two pricier models come with those features plus G-Sync.
Don't let the size fool you, though. In that trim frame the Triton 500 can support up to the Max-Q version of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080, which offers a ton of horsepower for gaming at higher than 60 frames per second. The entry-level model instead includes an RTX 2060, which should prove plenty capable in its own right. All models include the Intel Core i7-8750H processor, while memory options range from 16GB to 32GB and storage from a 512GB SSD to a 1TB SSD.
From this angle you can appreciate the Triton 500's thinness, as well as see roughly half of the system's ports. On this side, you'll spot two USB 3.1 ports, a Mini DisplayPort connection, and a USB-C port with Thunderbolt 3 support.
The other flank houses another USB 3.1 port, an HDMI output, an Ethernet jack, and discrete headset and mic jacks.
There is no connectivity around back, unlike some gaming laptops of late, but I find the rear of the system visually appealing. The crosshatched vents look high-tech, and the vents themselves are colored light blue to match the other accents.
We'll have reviews of both laptops once units become available, bringing fuller impressions and in-depth performance testing, so check back soon.

The haves and have-nots: The gap widens dangerously
FADE June 20, 2019 Weekly Column 0
I have been working on this week's article for sometime because it is a topic that is dear to me. You can then imagine my pleasant and somewhat skeptical surprise in June 12 listening to the president's speech and hearing him acknowledge the gap between the rich and the poor in the nation. It was very gratifying to note that Mr. President and I were thinking alike. It must be because of our age bracket that affords the luxury of knowing by experience that there was a time when the gap wasn't so wide. He made this clear when he talked about having the privilege of free education from primary school to staff college and war college. He also received some of his education in England, India and the United States.
By addressing the gap, he simply identified the presence of a large population of Nigerians living in poverty and promised to lift the 100 million of them from poverty in 10 years. I should add here that he only has four more years constitutionally because, if his plan will take 10, 15 years, what's the guarantee that subsequent governments will follow through? Nigeria is a country where successors do not continue the good work of their predecessors.
I am eager to see the working plan and the implementation details of this plausible goal, with the hope that it will not go down the drain as yet another of those pronouncements we've had in the past with little or no execution road map.
I would like to call on Mr. President to give us a clear road map of where we are, where he is planning to take us and how to get there: one that does not only include the social intervention programmes that he claims are a model for other nations. It is certainly a good idea to provide million of school children with free meals in primary school, I can't say the same for the conditional cash support programme that gives N5,000 to the poor. That will only give them daily bread for the moment but no one is leaving the poverty bracket that way.
Mr. President will have to do more, starting with looking back a little bit to why the six steel rolling mills, the six assembly plants, the refineries and paper mills that consumed billions of naira were never fully utilised. If we can find an answer to these questions, maybe half of the 100 million would be lifted out of poverty. The secondary industries and the value chain from those industries were meant to give Nigeria the industrial take-off at that time and provide millions with employment.
You see, I had high expectations on the day listening to the President as I felt he had had enough time to prepare a speech scant on rhetoric and rich in policy and programme specifics, seeing as he kept the May 29 inauguration ceremony short by saying nothing.
I should add that today's article was not supposed to be about the President, well not specifically. It was to address the fact that Nigeria has become a country of a few haves and many have-nots. According to Oxfam, the international aid agency, Nigeria came in last or first, depending on how you view it, among countries fuelling the gap between the super-rich and the poor. This was explained to be due to a "shamefully low" social spending, poor tax collection and rising labour rights violation, among other things.
Taking a quick trip down memory lane, I recall that in the past Nigeria and, over the years, those that didn't have looked up to those that had as mentors. Those that had in return showed the way and extended knowledge and wealth to the have-nots who then slowly grew because the system allowed for such growth. The haves (mentors) in those days were the Dantatas in the North, who specialised in trade and commerce, the Ojukwus in the East, through transportation, and the Odutolas, through manufacturing in the West. Among those that had were the top-level workers in the private sector, executives. We also had men of the customs and police, but the general opinion then was that their source of wealth was questionable and not to be respected.
With the Nigerian Civil War ending in the 1970s came the cheap money syndrome in the form of politicians in uniform and agbada, with a winner-takes-all mentality. At that stage, the gap between the haves and the have-nots started to grow. I recall something that happened at a social event, where a retired schoolteacher was introduced and invited to the high table because, way back then, he taught those that had risen to become professors and generals. Today, teachers are on the bottom line of poverty.
As the gap widened, the haves started removing themselves and seeking special protection from the have-nots. They sought the protection of the security agencies, the judiciary and even the executive arm of government. The average Nigerian could not afford to be protected and so became easy prey to mischief-makers. They also were unable to get justice because the lawmakers no longer followed the law. Equity was replaced with quota and then came marginalisation. It became very easy for those wanting to destabilise our country to find willing and able volunteers.
I could take you back to the origin of militancy in the South South, the Boko Haram insurgency, the Oduduwa, IPOB and more, but I'll spare you the details in this article. I will, however, state that, if the present situation continues, there is no way our security organisations can cope, after all, 80 per cent of them are too busy protecting the haves, day and night. A hallmark of a successful nation is one that offers protection to all, the good, the bad, the rich and the poor.
Let us take a moment to simply take in the number that now protects the Presidency, almost all the legislators, the judiciary, the local government chairmen and counsellors, the state government and almost all the government functionaries, heads of parastatals, private sector heads, the traditional heads, many former this and that. We have not been able to stop and think, why are we protecting all these men and women? Who are we protecting them from and why?
The truth is until the haves no longer fear the have-nots, society remains unsafe. However, the only way this can happen is if the have-nots no longer feel marginalised by the haves. Like a town crier, I am sounding the gong. If the gap isn't addressed swiftly with more than free food and N5,000, a time is coming when the have-nots will have nothing else to eat but the haves. This is a stage worse than war because it will consume all of us, the haves, the rich, the poor and the custodians of law and justice.
All you need to know about Desertification on this day!
Bring Back Environment Issues to Centre Stage!


Yesterday May 4, 2017 was Star Wars Day created by George Lucas, observed by fans of the movies franchise and it spread quickly through media and grassroots celebrations. The date was chosen for the easy pun on the catchphrase "May the Force be with you" as "May the Fourth be with you" and many Star Wars fans across the world have chosen to celebrate the holiday.... including me.
This last photo is also as a special tribute to the late Mdm. Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan and later General Leia Organa) who left us for eternity right after Christmas last year. I never watch her performance from any other films apart from those in Star Wars films (Episode 4,5,6 and 7), though I wont be surprise if we will see her again in the future Star Wars movies (in CGI form) - I guess the fans wont care much about it either, it's great to see our beloved characters back on screen - right???
You can read more about Star Wars Day from Wikipedia or Star Wars Website.

Hilco completes bakery purchase
Alison Granito
Northbrook-based Hilco Equity Partners and Monomoy Capital Partners LLC announced Tuesday they have completed their acquisition of Awrey Bakeries Inc., a national chain that makes and distributes fresh and frozen baked goods throughout North America.
Representatives from the funds called the 95-year-old baked goods company, headquartered in suburban Detroit, a strong franchise with good opportunities once it improves its finances and operations.
Hilco and New York-based Monomoy said they will bring in a new management team. Food processing and marketing veteran Alden Knowles will take over as CEO, leading a six-person team that includes the great-grandson of the company's founders.

This is one spot I always love on our walk – I put a Silvertone filter on it to give it that timeless elegance it so deserves. Aren't the far reaching branches so dramatic? It's so interesting how some of the limbs grew straight into the water. I'm sure the birds and wildlife must love it!
This is a beautiful older neighborhood in Charleston, SC (not on the peninsula of Charleston, just over the Ashley River Bridge). There are some MASSIVE oak trees in this neighborhood. Just beautiful. Luckily, their power is underground so they don't have to worry about their trees being "pruned" into unnatural shapes. I cannot imagine how much is spent pruning trees in Charleston, SC – because it seems that all the trees are placed underneath power lines. In the long run it has GOT to be less expensive to put the wiring underground. Your thoughts?
Posting images for a few days, having bathroom renovated and there's lots going on, very exciting! – Catch you back here tomorrow!
Amazing tree! I love it in B & W.
Every town should look into putting power lines underground. But in some areas it's just too cost prohibitive.

If you're a T-Mobile or Metro PCS customer, there's a chance some of your personal information has been accessed due to a security breach. The breach was discovered on Aug. 20 by T-Mobile's cyber-security team and shut down, but not before the damage was done.
T-Mobile is informing customers of the breach "out an abundance of caution," but isn't viewing this as a major incident.
Financial data, such as credit cards and social security numbers were not accessed and no passwords were exposed either. However, the personal information that may have been taken includes names, billing zip codes, phone numbers, email addresses, account numbers, and account types (prepaid or postpaid).
Affected customers will be notified directly by T-Mobile and are being advised to contact the Customer Care team if they have any concerns. This can be most easily done by dialling 611 on your mobile phone. T-Mobile customers also have access to two-way messaging on the T-Mobile app, through iMessage, or at MyT-Mobile.com.
The authorities have been notified of the breach and T-Mobile is reassuring customers that safeguards are in place for protecting personal data. However, once the information is stolen there's very little that can be done. If you are one of the affected customers then just keep an eye out for any unusual activity related to your different accounts or home address.

Pecný (również Pecny; historyczna nazwa ) – szczyt (góra) o wysokości 1334 m n.p.m. (podawana jest też wysokość 1328 m n.p.m., 1329 m n.p.m., 1330 m n.p.m., 1330,4 m n.p.m. lub 1334,0 m n.p.m.) w paśmie górskim Wysokiego Jesionika (), w północno-wschodnich Czechach, w Sudetach Wschodnich, na Morawach, w obrębie gminy Vernířovice, oddalony o około 7,6 km na południowy zachód od szczytu góry Pradziad (), leżący na jego głównym grzbiecie (grzebieniu), pomiędzy szczytami Břidličná hora i Pec. Rozległość góry (powierzchnia stoków) szacowana jest na około 5,9 km², a średnie nachylenie wszystkich stoków wynosi około 14°.

Charakterystyka

Lokalizacja

Góra Pecný położona jest w południowym rejonie całego pasma Wysokiego Jesionika, leżąca w części Wysokiego Jesionika, w południowo-zachodnim obszarze (mikroregionu) o nazwie Masyw Pradziada () oraz usytuowana na jego grzbiecie głównym (grzebieniu), ciągnącym się od przełęczy Červenohorské sedlo do przełęczy Skřítek. Góra od zachodu znajduje się przy granicy z sąsiednim pasmem o nazwie Hanušovická vrchovina. Szczyt Pecný, leżący niemalże na końcu tego grzbietu, około 3 km na północny wschód od przełęczy Skřítek jest z daleka słabo rozpoznawalny. Niewidoczny z drogi okalającej połać szczytową góry Pradziad, bo przysłonięty górą Břidličná hora, a z innego charakterystycznego punktu widokowego – z drogi okalającej szczyt góry Dlouhé stráně można go ledwie dostrzec i rozpoznać po skalisku wystającym na szczycie.

Górę ograniczają: od północy przełęcz o wysokości 1313 m n.p.m. w kierunku szczytu Břidličná hora, od wschodu dolina potoku o nazwie Podolský potok, od południa przełęcz o wysokości 1308 m n.p.m. w kierunku szczytu Pec, od południowego zachodu dolina potoku Ztracený potok (graniczny potok z pasmem o nazwie Hanušovická vrchovina) oraz od północnego zachodu dolina potoku Merta. W otoczeniu góry znajdują się następujące szczyty: od północy Břidličná hora, od północnego wschodu Jelenka, od południa Pec, od południowego zachodu Svobodínská paseka–V (szczyt leży już w paśmie Hanušovická vrchovina) oraz od północnego zachodu Jestřábí vrch–JZ i Břidličná hora–SZ.

Stoki
W obrębie góry można wyróżnić trzy następujące zasadnicze stoki:
 południowo-wschodni
 zachodni
 północno-zachodni
Występują tu wszystkie typy zalesienia: bór świerkowy, las mieszany oraz las liściasty, przy czym istnieje zróżnicowanie zalesienia zależne od położenia i usytuowania stoku. Stok południowo-wschodni zalesiony jest borem świerkowym, przy czym przy połaci szczytowej tego stoku występuje pas kosodrzewiny, natomiast u podnóża kilkusetmetrowy bezleśny pas ciągnący się na kierunku północ – południe. Górne partie pozostałych stoków zalesione są borem świerkowym, ale z obniżaniem się wysokości stopniowo przechodzą w las liściaty i las mieszany. U podnóży stoku zachodniego przy zabudowie miejscowości Vernířovice oraz północno-zachodniego występują już łąki. Na stokach północno-zachodnim i zachodnim występują charakterystyczne pasmowe zmiany typu zalesienia, przerzedzenia oraz polany. Ponadto na stokach tych występują obszary pokryte gruzem skalnym. Na stoku zachodnim w odległości około 2,1 km od szczytu w kierunku północno-zachodnim, na wysokościach (880–970) m n.p.m., blisko niebieskiego szlaku rowerowego  występuje grupa skalna o nazwie Kočičí skalka ze ścianami dochodzącymi do wysokości 20 m oraz m.in. wieżami skalnymi.

Stoki mają stosunkowo niejednolite i mało zróżnicowane nachylenia. Średnie nachylenie stoków waha się bowiem od 13° (stok zachodni) do 15° (stok południowo-wschodni i północno-zachodni). Średnie nachylenie wszystkich stoków góry (średnia ważona nachyleń stoków) wynosi około 14°. Maksymalne średnie nachylenie stoku zachodniego w pobliżu płynącego potoku Ztracený potok na odcinku 50 m nie przekracza 45°. Stoki pokryte są nielicznymi szlakami turystycznymi, siecią na ogół nieoznakowanych dróg oraz ścieżek. Przemierzając je zaleca się korzystanie ze szczegółowych map, z uwagi na zawiłości ich przebiegu, zalesienie oraz zorientowanie w terenie.

Szczyt

Na szczycie góry znajduje się odkryte, izolowane skalisko z białego, dewońskiego kwarcytu, o przybliżonych wymiarach (długość × szerokość = 23 × 12) m i wysokości około 4 m. Skalisko to, na które można swobodnie wejść jest punktem widokowym. Przez górę w odległości około 40 m na południowy wschód od szczytu przebiega ścieżka główna, na której wytyczono zielony szlak turystyczny , przy którym znajduje się przystanek turystyczny o nazwie Pecný, z podaną na tablicy informacyjnej wysokością 1334 m. Pomiędzy ścieżką główną a skaliskiem szczytowym znajduje się nieco niższe skalisko. Na połaci szczytowej nie ma punktu geodezyjnego z określoną wysokością. Na podstawie szczegółowej mapy Państwowego urzędu geodezyjnego o nazwie () najwyższy punkt góry (skalisko szczytowe) ma wysokość 1333,6 m n.p.m. oraz współrzędne geograficzne (). Zgodnie z piętrowym układem stref klimatyczno-roślinnych na połaci szczytowej dominują hale wysokogórskie, pokryte łąką z bardzo popularną m.in. borówką czarną oraz łanami kosodrzewiny. Występują tu podobnie jak na sąsiedniej górze Břidličná hora terasy krioplanacyjne i gleby poligonalne.

Geologia
Pod względem geologicznym góra Pecný należy do jednostki określanej jako warstwy vrbneńskie i zbudowana jest ze skał metamorficznych, głównie z: łupków metamorficznych, fyllonitów, gnejsów, blasto-mylonitów, amfibolitów, fyllitów (biotytów, muskowitów i chlorytów) i kwarcytu oraz skał magmowych, głównie meta-granitów i meta-granitoidów.

Wody
Grzbiet główny (grzebień) góry Pradziad, biegnący od przełęczy Skřítek do przełęczy Červenohorské sedlo oraz dalej do przełęczy Ramzovskiej () jest częścią granicy Wielkiego Europejskiego Działu Wodnego, dzielącej zlewiska Morza Bałtyckiego i Morza Czarnego.

Góra leży na tej granicy, na zlewiskach Morza Bałtyckiego (dorzecze Odry) na stoku południowo-wschodnim oraz Morza Czarnego (dorzecze Dunaju) na stokach: zachodnim i północno-zachodnim. Na stoku zachodnim ma swoje źródło potok Ztracený potok oraz na stoku północno-zachodnim krótkie, nienazwane potoki, będące dopływami potoku Merta. Ponadto u podnóża stoku zachodniego, w miejscowości Vernířovice znajduje się kilka różnej wielkości, owalnych stawów, z których największy ma przybliżoną średnicę około 50 m. Na potoku Ztracený potok, w odległości około 1,4 km na zachód od szczytu, na wysokościach około (690–880) m n.p.m. występuje kaskada o nazwie () złożona z czterech wodospadów o wysokościach odpowiednio (3,5; 2,5; 4 i 2) m oraz na stoku południowo-wschodnim, w odległości około 0,9 km na zachód od szczytu, na wysokości około 1115 m n.p.m. występuje inny nienazwany, niewielki wodospad.

Ochrona przyrody
Połać szczytowa i znaczna część wszystkich stoków oprócz dolnych ich partii od wysokości mniej więcej (1100–1150) m n.p.m. w dół znajdują się w obrębie rezerwatu przyrody Břidličná (→ Ztracené skály), utworzonego 19 marca 2008 roku o powierzchni około 652 ha, będącego częścią wydzielonego obszaru objętego ochroną o nazwie Obszar Chronionego Krajobrazu Jesioniki (), a utworzonego w celu ochrony utworów skalnych, ziemnych i roślinnych oraz rzadkich gatunków zwierząt. U podnóża stoku zachodniego, w miejscowości Vernířovice, przy stawie, na wysokości około 538 m n.p.m. znajduje się uznana w 1999 roku za pamiątkową lipa drobnolistna o nazwie () mająca około 500 lat, o wysokości około 20 m i obwodzie pnia około 843 cm.

Ścieżki dydaktyczne
Wzdłuż grzbietu głównego wytyczono w 2009 roku ścieżkę dydaktyczną () o długości 12 km na odcinku:

  Ovčárna – Skřítek (z 12 stanowiskami obserwacyjnymi na trasie)

Turystyka
U podnóża stoku stoku zachodniego, w miejscowości Vernířovice znajduje się jedyny pensjonat położony na obszarze góry Pecný o nazwie Chalupa U potůčku, dysponujący 16 miejscami noclegowymi. W miejscowości tej oddalonej o około 3,5 km na północny zachód od szczytu znajduje się baza turystyczna z innymi pensjonatami. Ponadto w odległości około 3 km na południowy zachód od szczytu, koło przełęczy Skřítek, przy drodze nr  znajduje się restauracja Skřítek. Warto dodać, że do bazy hoteli górskich blisko góry Pradziad jest od szczytu około 7 km w kierunku północno-wschodnim.

Chaty łowieckie
Wokół góry na stokach przy ścieżkach, położone są dwie chaty, ale nie mają one charakteru typowych schronisk turystycznych, a które zalicza się do tzw. chat łowieckich. Dojście do nich jest trudne, wymaga posłużenia się szczegółowymi mapami.

Szlaki turystyczne
Klub Czeskich Turystów () wytyczył w obrębie góry dwa szlaki turystyczne na trasach:

  Skřítek – Ztracené skály – szczyt Ztracené kameny – szczyt Pec – szczyt Pecný – góra Břidličná hora – Jelení studánka – góra Jelení hřbet – przełęcz Sedlo nad Malým kotlem – góra Velký Máj – U Františkovy myslivny – góra Zámčisko–S – Zámčisko–SZ – U Kamenné chaty

  Skřítek – Ztracené skály – Zelené kameny – przełęcz Mravenčí sedlo – góra Jelenka – przełęcz Sedlo pod Jelení studánkou – Jelení studánka – góra Břidličná hora – Čertova stěna – góra Špičák – Vernířovice – Sobotín

Szlaki rowerowe i trasy narciarskie
Na stokach wyznaczono dwa szlaki rowerowe na trasach:

  Pod Ztracenými kameny – góra Pecný – góra Špičák – góra Jestřábí vrch – przełęcz Branka – góra Homole – góra Vřesník – Kozí hřbet – góra Čepel – Uhlířská cesta

  U Bochnerovy boudy – Pec – Ztracené kameny – Ztracené skály – Klepáčov – dolina potoku Ztracený potok – Vernířovice – dolina potoku Kamenný potok – Sedmidvory – góra Rudná hora – przełęcz Vlčí sedlo – góra Čepel – Pod Vlčím sedlem

W obrębie góry nie poprowadzono żadnej trasy narciarstwa zjazdowego. W okresach ośnieżenia wzdłuż szlaków turystycznych i rowerowych przebiegają trasy narciarstwa biegowego.

  Nad Karlovem – góra Klobouk – przełęcz Mravencovka – Jelenec – góra Jelenka – Alfrédka – góra Břidličná hora – góra Pecný – Zelené kameny – Skřitek

Why did people forget about the laws passed during the civil rights movement during the 1960s?
February 23, 2020 by Karen Hill
Americans did not forget about the laws passed during the civil rights movement; there were some new gains made in the 1980s and 1990s.
In 1982, both houses of Congress voted to extend the Voting Rights Act of 1965 for twenty-five years.
In 1983, some 250,000 marchers came together in Washington, D.C., to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the historic March on Washington.
In 1985 and 1986, the Supreme Court upheld state affirmative action plans to grant special employment preferences to minorities.
In 1995, however, the Supreme Court reversed its position on the constitutionality of affirmative action programs. It ruled that broad programs are unconstitutional, but that the principle of affirmative action may be applied to specific and limited circumstances of discrimination. In a separate case, it ruled in favor of eliminating racial qualifications for college scholarships.
In 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed a bill establishing Martin Luther King Day as a federal holiday. It was first celebrated as a federal holiday on January 20, 1986.

Tour de France draws huge crowds in Brussels, no arrests
A million spectators and no reported arrests. This weekend's Tour de France action in Brussels went by without incident, police said on Sunday.
According to police figures, 500,000 people lined the city's streets to see Sunday's time trial. Mike Teunissen kept the yellow jersey for a second day after his team, the Netherlands' Jumbo-Visma, won the 27.6km stage from the Royal Palace to the Atomium in 28 minutes 58 seconds.
About 500,000 spectators in Brussels had already turned out on Saturday for the race launch - a 192km ride from the Belgian capital to Charleroi and back. The Grand-Place alone attracted 100,000 fans.
On both days, some 1,200 Brussels police officers were out on duty. Parking was banned along the route of the race - and about 250 cars were towed away.
"There were some things we had not expected," said a police spokeswoman. "For example, on Saturday there was a funeral at Notre-Dame-de-Laeken church, followed a few hours later by a wedding."
Road access to the church was blocked because the Tour de France finish line was just up the road at the Royal Domain. "We tried to find solutions," the spokeswoman added. "I think the bride and groom will keep an unforgettable memory of their marriage being disrupted by the Tour de France."
Monday is Belgium's last day of Tour de France activity, with the 215km stage starting in Binche before heading into France itself.

No arrests? So they never caught the person(s) who stole the bike that was to be auctioned for a good cause?

Sustainability funding took on an interesting twist November 19 with the first SPUR Bull Pen. Modeled after CBC's The Dragon's Den, SPUR's Bull Pen saw local community groups, businesses and individuals competing for $15,000 in sustainability funding.
The competition gave Cochrane residents an opportunity to present their sustainability ideas for evaluation by a team of judges and audience members. The event was open to any local groups or individuals with a unique and practical idea for achieving the vision of the Cochrane Sustainability Plan.
In addition, each audience member at the Bull Pen was given three ballots they could use to vote for their favorite pitches. The judges factored in audience voting when making their final decisions.


Well here we are. 2012 is gone forever, never to return. It's a bit of a shame really – I was just starting to enjoy it. Most years do that to you, don't they? They start off a bit rough and with quite a few sharp edges but by the time we've lived in them a bit and bent the most uncomfortable bits over so they don't stick into us it's almost December. Even though our good old year is starting to be a little worn in places it still is comfortingly familiar and we feel a reluctance to remove the old and put on the new. The new year feels a bit coarse and you just know that they've 'improved' it to the point where all the useful bits have been replaced with things you don't really need.
You know what they say about the camel? It was a horse designed by a committee. New years tend to be sort of that way to start off with. You feel as though you ought to fill the toes with damp newspaper – or was it boiled potatoes? The exact reason and precise materials escape me for the moment, I'm sure it did whatever it was supposed to do, though.
Now, if you were going to design a camel, for instance. The first thing you'd do is to get rid of the hump. Wouldn't you?

First-time buyers underestimate the intergenerational support available to them
BSA Property Tracker
Contact: Katie Wise
Created date: 14 December 2021
Raising a deposit continues to be the biggest obstacle for first-time buyers
Majority think older family members should help younger ones buy a home
Many first-time buyers not factoring in the family financial help available to them
Research from the Building Societies Association (BSA) reveals that the majority of people (53%) think older family members should offer financial assistance to help their children or grandchildren buy their first home if they can, compared to just 28% who don't think they should.
The research shows that the biggest barrier to homeownership is getting enough money together for the deposit. 58% of would-be first-time buyers do not expect any financial assistance from their older relatives, whilst 71% of parents expect to provide some financial help to the younger generation.
49% of parents said they expect to leave a bequest when they die to the younger family members, but less than one in three first-time buyers (29%) are expecting it. There's also a mis-match in expectations on giving and receiving a monetary gift towards buying a home, with 41% of parents expecting to do this, but only 24% of first-time buyers expecting it.
The findings also show that parents under the age of 60 are less inclined to provide financial support to younger members of their family compared to parents aged over 60. This is likely to be due to the higher value of assets held by older generations.
Whilst the high level of support on offer from older members of the family will be welcome news for first-time buyers, it cannot necessarily be relied on. The older generation have more cash savings, investments and property equity than the younger generations, but much of this is likely to be left as inheritance, only accessible at a future date. It may also be the case that some of their wealth will be spent on social care, reducing the value of the legacy they eventually pass on.
It is not surprising therefore that 68% of first-time buyers say they will be using their own accumulated savings to fund their deposit.
Decline in confidence in the housing market
Whilst house prices have risen by around 10% in the last year, almost half of people (45%) expect prices to continue to rise, with just 13% expecting a fall. Although mortgage rates are at historically low levels, making affordability easier on one hand, rising house prices are making raising a deposit increasingly difficult, and it is not surprising that this is the biggest hurdle for first-time buyers.
This may be one of the reasons for a drop in confidence in the housing market, with just 21% thinking now is a good time to buy a property, down from 26% three months ago. Almost a third of people (30%) do not think that now is a good time to buy. It's likely that this decline in sentiment is a result of a number of factors including the end of the Stamp Duty holiday in September, the lack of properties on the market and the emergence of the new Omicron variant of Covid-19.
Commenting on the findings, Paul Broadhead, Head of Mortgage and Housing Policy at the BSA said:
"With house prices rising considerably more than inflation and wage growth, it's not surprising that first-time buyers find raising a deposit the most difficult aspect of getting on the property ladder and something it is hard to keep pace with. But it's clear that many families are more willing to share their wealth and give financial help than the younger generation appreciate.
"Perhaps families should use the festive period to talk candidly to each other about their future plans and aspirations and how best to use their inter-generational wealth. It could be the best present under the tree for all!"
Paul Broadhead, Head of Mortgage and Housing Policy at the BSA is available for interview. Please contact Tanya Jackson or Katie Wise to arrange.

A: Thanks to @Temil Selvan C There is 4 step procedure to 100% solve the problem
1) Open apache's configuration file using your favorite text editor. The configuration file generally locates at:{apache_dir}/conf/httpd.conf
2) If you are using XAMPP or WAMP package then you will find the file at:{xampp_dir}/apache/conf/httpd.conf
{wamp_dir}/apache/conf/httpd.conf
Search for the following string:#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so and uncomment it (remove the '#' sign).
3) Now search for another string AllowOverride None and replace it by AllowOverride All
4) Finally save the changes, close your text editor and restart your apache server.
That's all.

The Housing and Economic Recovery Act, 2008, as amended, established the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) to provide emergency assistance in the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed homes. An additional allocation of funds were made available through the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act). Funds are used to acquire and rehabilitate abandon and foreclosed homes that are contributing to neighborhood decline, blight, and instability.
Collier County's initial allocation of approximately $7.3 million dollars (NSP-1) has been fully obligated and additional revenue may be generated upon the sale of properties to income qualified persons or households. Collier County accepted approximately $3.9 million dollars in additional NSP funds (NSP-3).
Additional information relating to the NSP may be found by clicking here.
Collier County is required to submit a Quarterly Performance Report (QPR) to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development not later than 30 days following the end of each quarter after the completion of the first full calendar quarter after the grant award, and continuing until the end of the 15th month after the initial receipt of grant funds.
To participate in the NSP-3, Collier County was required to make a substantial amendment to the previously approved One Year Action Plan. You may view a copy of the NSP-3 Action Plan by clicking here.

Apple iPhone 12 Design Decision Reveals Stunning New Display
big challenge to get to market on time this year, which is a shame as we already know they house some of the most ambitious upgrades in generations. Now another exciting part of the puzzle has come together, and the source could not be better.

Apple iPhone 12: Everything We Know So Far [Updated]

Continuing its much appreciated annual exposé on Apple's iPhone plans, is rival and major partner Samsung. As it has for several years now, the company has again used February to announce its next-generation display, a display Apple has gone on to use in its iPhones ever since the company first adopted OLED technology with the iPhone X. Moreover, new Galaxy S20 owners are not going to be happy.
"Samsung Display Company today unveiled an optimized OLED display for 5G smartphones with newly reduced blue-light emission and lowered power consumption," said the company in an official release. "Our 5G-optimized OLED display is taking the lead in the 5G era with its crystal clear imagery, distinguished designs, economical power consumption and increasingly eye-protective functionality."
Samsung did not break down all these advantages, but it did reveal that the new displays will be 15% more power-efficient and emit less blue light than its previous generation panels and 70% less than LCD screens. And yes, you guessed it, the previous generation are what Samsung is using in its own brand new (and extremely expensive) Galaxy S20 range (details). Furthermore, considering DisplayMate described the Galaxy S20 display as "Visually Indistinguishable From Perfect" we can expect its successor to be truly stunning.
Galaxy S20 color accuracy as mapped by DisplayMate reveals it is "virtually indistinguishable from … [+] perfect"
DisplayMate
There is one potential curveball. In an attempt to reduce its reliance on Samsung, Apple has been heavily investing in LG's OLED factories. To date, LG has been a master of larger OLED displays with its class-leading TVs but the results have been hit and miss on smartphone screens. As such, the only way Apple will use LG displays in the iPhone 12 line-up is if they can match Samsung's new panels (in which case there's nothing to worry about) or it will be put off for another year.
Either way, another piece of the iPhone 12 puzzle has been put in place and a tantalising picture is coming together. On top of its next-gen display, we know the iPhone 12 will adopt the high refresh rate ProMotion screen technology taken from the iPad Pro, deliver new screen sizes, come with an intriguing long-range 3D camera, have a potentially MacBook Pro rivalling A14 chip, use 5G with bespoke Apple antennas and potentially even see a return for Touch ID.
Yes, there are concerns Apple may increase iPhone prices off the back of all this tech, but the rises are understood to be smaller than some rivals. Could 2020 be the year Apple marries cutting edge upgrades with (comparatively) good value? I must admit, the signs are good.

For centuries, people have used fashion to showcase their individual styles and personalities. It can also help define a generation, which is what Mannequin Concepts, is doing for classy Millennials and high-end shoppers. If you want to update your wardrobe, here is more information about the store's recently launched line and what inspired its innovative ensembles.
what is mannequin concepts?
A Texas native, Mannequin Concepts' CEO, Evan Lyons, grew up far from the nightlife scene of the 1970s-era New York but drew inspiration from the famed Studio 54 for his fashion line. Watching films from the period, including The Wiz and Uptown Saturday Night, also inspired his women's and men's fashion pieces, which include crushed velvet, high-waisted denim, polished brass button embellishments, and black medallion dress made with four-ply silk. Iconic designers Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, and Alexander McQueen are also his creative inspirations.
Even though Evan is self-taught, having honed his craft working for famed fashion houses and as a freelance stylist, fashion runs in his family. His mother was a mannequin model before he was born, and her '70s headshot serves as the logo for Mannequin Concepts. Silhouettes of the logo are featured on the medallions that adorn the plunging necklines of their stylish unisex hoodies. The collection also includes T-shirts, jumpsuits, denim shorts, bags, and additional accessories, many of which are ungendered.

Doing It Over Blog Tour
I will admit I loved the Weekday Bride Series so much that I was a little nervous to start a new series of books by Catherine Bybee. I love her books and writing don't get me wrong but was I going to love these new characters? Well I do! And "Doing It Over" far exceeded my expectations.
Melanie Bartlett has had a rough life dropping out of college and having a child with a man who doesn't want to be a father, so for her to return to her hometown for her tenth high school reunion comes with some mixed emotions. Ms. Bybee did a great job of catching the essence of a child in the character of Hope Bartlett, Melanie's daughter, from climbing trees to loving puppies. The first person Melanie meets on her way back into town is handy man Wyatt Gibson. Wyatt is a bachelor and finding love is the last thing on his mind. But all that is about to change once Melanie and Hope Bartlett come to town in "Doing it Over", the first book in an all new series by Catherine Bybee.
I loved single mom Melanie Bartlett, her daughter Hope and handy man Wyatt Gibson from the start. Add in a whole list of other loveable characters and I couldn't help but fall in love with River Bend. For me it was like reading a Nicholas Sparks novel with twist and turns along the way but love all the way through. I can't wait for the second book now. I just wonder which of Melanie's two best friends will be finding love in the next book of the series.
New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bybee was raised in Washington State, but after graduating high school, she moved to Southern California in hopes of becoming a movie star. After growing bored with waiting tables, she returned to school and became a registered nurse, spending most of her career in urban emergency rooms. She now writes full-time and has penned the Weekday Brides Series and the Not Quite Series. Bybee lives with her two teenage sons in Southern California.

DOING IT OVER
Most Likely To Series, Book One
Montlake Romance, Contemporary
April 19, 2016, First Edition
Paperback & Kindle
One small town. Three close friends. True love to last a lifetime.
Voted Most Likely to Succeed, Melanie Bartlett ended up anything but. The down-on-her-luck single mom wants a complete do-over—is that too much to ask? With her family long gone from River Bend, strong, independent Mel is as surprised as anyone to end up in the quaint small town she once called home. But with her friends, Jo and Zoe, by her side, and a comfortable room at Miss Gina's quirky bed-and-breakfast, she just might have turned the corner on a new life.
Wyatt Gibson never liked the big city. River Bend suits the ruggedly handsome builder just fine. Wyatt knows he's home, even if that means being charmed by the appearance of Melanie and her spunky, adorable daughter. Is Wyatt's calm devotion—even amid a coming storm—enough to convince Mel she may have found a home to call her own, a family that never leaves, and a true love to last a lifetime?
Praise for Doing It Over
"The romance between fiercely independent Melanie and charming Wyatt heats up even as outsiders threaten to derail their newfound happiness. This novel will hook readers with its warm, inviting characters and the promise for similar future installments." –Publishers Weekly
"This brand-new trilogy, Most Likely To, based on yearbook superlatives, kicks off with a novel that will encourage you to root for the incredibly likable Melanie. Her friends are hilarious and readers will swoon over Wyatt, who is charming and strong. Even Melanie's daughter, Hope, is a hoot! This romance is jam-packed with animated characters, and Bybee displays her creative writing talent wonderfully." –RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars

One thought on "Doing It Over Blog Tour"
Catherine Bybee says:
Thank you for hosting me, and for the lovely review.


As the year ends, Bare Ruined Choirs is moving toward its final stages to publication.
Yesterday, I submitted the cover and interior files to the printer. I am now waiting for the proof of the book (a single copy of the completed book) to be sent to me for my final approval.
I would like to officially thank two individuals who helped me through the technical details of independent publishing: Allen and Lucinda. Without their technical expertise, the book would not be so polished. In addition, I have learned a great deal that will help me with the next book project.
I am sure there are many more details that I will be dealing with. If anyone has advice or expertise, please contact me in the comments below or through my email.
My awareness lately has been on this project and not on my current writing projects. It will be good to get the book available. Then step by step I can learn and apply strategies to make others aware of its existence.

Obama's endless schemes to create jobs; GOP has already passed plans (Ryan's bill & "Cut, Cap & Balance")
August 17, 2011 - 6:05pm — Capitol Hill Update
Today, from his wildly expensive tax-paid campaign bus tour of the Midwest, Barack Obama gravely announced that as soon as his 10-day Martha's Vineyard luxurious vacation was over -- his third such vacation in this wealthy liberal enclave -- he was going to introduce another job-producing scheme, and he threatened the Republicans that they better pass it.
Meanwhile, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives have already passed two jobs-producing bills including the Ryan budget, legislation which would have resulted in $6 trillion in government spending, authored by the Chairman of the House Budget Committee, Paul Ryan, R-WI. Then days before their August recess, the Republicans passed by a large bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives, the "Cut, Cap and Balance Act of 2012," which would result in trillions of dollars of savings in the future. The Democrat-controlled Senate did not even allow a vote, or floor debate, on these two Republican bills.
Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-OH, and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), said in "USA Today" yesterday about Obama's endless -- and very unsuccessful -- efforts to create jobs: "Over the last few months, we tried to persuade President Obama to do something significant to address our debt crisis, on the scale achieved in the House Republican budget. Yet time and again, he and his allies demanded tax increases on families and small businesses, tax increases that would destroy jobs."
The rest of their op-ed is directly below:
Boehner, Cantor: Mr. President, let's get to work
By John Boehner and Eric Cantor
Standard & Poor's decision to downgrade our creditworthiness is a clarion call to get America's fiscal house in order. The jobs and savings of too many Americans are at stake for Washington to continue ducking the toughest choices.
The American people elected the new House Republican majority with orders to stop Washington from spending money it doesn't have, and we listened. This spring, the House passed a budget that would cut spending by trillions of dollars and encourage private-sector job creation through economic growth — without raising taxes. Among its key components are tax reforms that broaden the base and lower the rates for everyone, while making the tax code more fair by closing loopholes.
Our budget also included real reforms that preserve and strengthen our insolvent entitlement programs, which are the biggest drivers of our debt. These kinds of reforms are "key to long-term fiscal sustainability," according to S&P's report. Unfortunately, the Democrats running Washington rejected both our budget and a "cut, cap and balance" plan the House passed recently that would also save trillions.
Over the last few months, we tried to persuade President Obama to do something significant to address our debt crisis, on the scale achieved in the House Republican budget. Yet time and again, he and his allies demanded tax increases on families and small businesses, tax increases that would destroy jobs. With nervous markets, unemployment at more than 9% and millions of Americans asking, "Where are the jobs?," the worst thing Washington can do for our economy is raise taxes on the people we need to start hiring again.
The Budget Control Act, recently signed into law after months of hard work, represents a step toward fiscal sanity in Washington, but only a step. It includes spending cuts larger than the increase in the debt limit, real caps to restrain future spending, and no tax increases.
There's certainly no victory lap to be taken, especially when more could have been done. Our hope is S&P's wake-up call will show President Obama and his allies that they can no longer afford to tinker around the edges when it comes to our debt crisis.
Over the next few months, as a result of the Budget Control Act, lawmakers of both parties on the newly formed joint select committee will be in a position to make tough choices to rein in the mandatory and entitlement spending that is driving our long-term debt. We believe this work can be done without imposing job-crushing tax increases. We should be able to move forward on the areas in which we agree on the former, without tying them to areas of disagreement — such as the latter.
The House and Senate will also consider a constitutional amendment requiring the federal government to balance its budget. Ratification of a balanced-budget amendment would provide greater certainty about our nation's fiscal trajectory over the long haul, helping private sector small-business people — who are being overwhelmed with uncertainty from Washington — to plan, invest and get back to creating jobs. That is the type of commitment to fiscal responsibility that S&P and other rating services are looking for.
Of course, out-of-control spending isn't the only Washington-imposed roadblock to job creation. That's why we must dedicate ourselves to pro-growth policies that help create middle-class jobs, make it easier for existing businesses to thrive and allow more start-up companies to flourish. This means easing the tax burden on small businesses and removing burdensome, redundant regulations that impede private sector investment and job creation. It's past time to harness our abundant supply of natural resources in America, develop new sources of energy and create jobs here at home. And we should increase competitiveness for American manufacturers by passing job-creating free trade agreements that would open new markets for American-made goods. All told, at least 10 House-passed jobs bills reflecting some of these reforms are awaiting action in the Democratic-led Senate.
The American people understand that Washington can't keep spending money it doesn't have. They want to see less government — not more taxes. The Republican majority in the House continues to listen, which is why despite being outnumbered in Washington, these changes are happening incrementally.
Time and again, we have reached out to President Obama in the hope that he would finally be ready to do what is needed to solve our debt crisis and tackle America's job crisis. The offer still stands. Let's get to work.
John Boehner, R-Ohio, is speaker of the House. Eric Cantor, R-Va., is the House majority leader.
