Essential Advice for the Perfect Trip
Avoriaz is part of the Portes du Soleil – a trans-frontier alliance of a dozen ski villages in France and Switzerland, south of Lac Leman. It's a vast and endlessly-varied playground, boasting 197 ski lifts, 650km of pistes, 10 terrain parks and oodles of off-piste in between. And it would be one of the world's greatest ski areas if only it were a little higher.
Problem is, the highest lift in the Portes du Soleil tops out a 2466m, and many of the slopes are below 2000m. Several of the resort towns and villages are down at 1000m. That compares unfavourably with the A-list ski areas such as the Espace Killy and the Three Valleys – and it makes much of the skiing here vulnerable to the sudden thaws that can hit the Alps, even in January.
That doesn't mean the lower slopes are snowless very often. Batteries of snow-cannons making the stuff artificially see to that. But it does mean snow quality is more variable than you'll find in the likes of Val d'Isere, Courchevel or Val Thorens, with more icy mornings and more slushy afternoons on the pistes.
Still, the terrain is very good here – and the snowfall average for the highest slopes is one of the best in France (around eight metres a season – significantly higher than Val d'Isere, for example). Prices are noticeably lower than in some of its rivals, too. In a good, cold winter, you can have a blast here.
Avoriaz is not your average ski resort
Set at the top of a great cliff, in a high-ish mountain bowl, Avoriaz has always been one of the most forward-looking ski resorts in the Alps. Designed to be car-free, it's based around a series of high-rise buildings that are linked by boulevard-style pistes on the outside, and stairs, lifts and covered walkways within. Most of the accommodation is in self-catering apartments, and some of it is brand-new. Nearly all of it is ski-in, ski-out.
It's not just the look of the place that's futuristic. Avoriaz has also had an open mind when it comes to the latest trends and was one of the early Alpine capitals of snowboarding. It built its first terrain park and half-pipe back in 1993. Ever since, it's been a big supporter of freestylers, whether on one plank or two, and these days boasts three parks and a super-pipe, as well as a ground-breaking Stash forest park.
All of these add up to the reason why it's such a big hit with young Brits, Swedes, Belgians and Dutch. And while it can't match the likes of Val Thorens for apres-ski, it can still rock at night.
Anyone for a cute little ski village with a bit of history and a rough-hewn Alpine atmosphere should give it a wide berth. And we'd strongly advise against skiing here in a snow-drought or a warm spring. Not only will you find lots of the lower pistes closed, you'll also find everyone from the lower villages congregating around Avoriaz, which can be unacceptably over-crowded as a result. But if you're looking for convenience, spirit, skiing variety, and – above all – terrain parks, put it somewhere near the top of your hit-list.
Guide to the Mountain

Avoriaz is suited to all levels of skier and rider – with the possible exception of beginners. They will find the nursery slopes rather small, and the swirling crowds around them intimidating. A resort such as Alpe d'Huez or Morzine will suit them much better.
In a good snow year, when the lower slopes of the Portes du Soleil area (such as in Morzine and Les Gets) are covered, and the snow is soft, cold and grippy, intermediates will have a ball – because they can explore the full extent of this vast area, rather than endlessly repeating the same slopes. Although it is worth pointing out that the pistes in the immediate area, are also very good – especially in the Hauts Forts sector (which is where you'll find the best-quality snow).
It's a vast and varied playground
One thing to be wary of is "the circuit" – trying to ski round the whole of the Portes du Soleil in a day. As with Sella Ronda in Italy, completing a tour of the principal resorts in a single day restricts the amount of time actually skiing, with most of your day taken up riding lifts (a basic circuit requires riding 26 of the blighters). It makes more sense to explore one sector of the area at a time – deciding on where you want to go and the quickest way of getting there. One of the best areas to explore is Les Crosets, across the border in Switzerland. You'll need to ride the chair-lift downhill to get there – thus avoiding The Swiss Wall. But once you arrive you'll find lots of wide, north-facing pistes which hold their snow well.
Border controls are unusual, but not unheard of. We strongly advise you to carry your passport as well as both euros and Swiss francs. If you or one of your party has an accident along the way, you could be stranded in another country.
Bear in mind that when snow cover is poor, you'll be restricted to skiing the slopes immediately around Avoriaz. In theory, that's fine, but the problem comes when everyone migrates up from Morzine and other surrounding lower-altitude resorts. It can be very crowded as a result.
Try one of the classic mogul slopes of the Alps
Provided the snow's good, advanced skiers will like it here too. There are some classic challenges here – notably the long and testing black that descends from Le Plan Brazy following the line of the FIS downhill course to Les Prodains. And The Swiss Wall (more correctly known as La Chavanette) which has a reputation as one of the most difficult descents marked as a black run on any piste map. In reality its bark is usually much worse than its bite, although the toxicity is dependent on the quality of the snow.
For anyone making their first turns on powder, there are plenty of bits and bobs to nibble at around the edges of the pistes (though there's a lot of competition for these after snowfalls). More expert skiers will want to hire a guide and get exploring – there are for example some wonderful steep runs from the Hauts Forts sector down to Les Prodains (linked to Avoriaz by cable-car). When the snow's good, there are plenty more awesome runs besides.
Finally the freestyle terrain here is superb. Avoriaz has definitely got its mojo back in this respect, and is, arguably, the best freestyle destination in the Alps.
A snowboarding stronghold
Lil'Stash snow park for kids.
Avoriaz has a half-pipe, three terrain parks (the first was built in 1993): La Chapelle park is for beginners and intermediates, the challenging Arare is in the Hauts-Forts sector, and Trashers is for kids. Then there's the innovative Stash – in association with Burton snowboards – a 1.3km, all-natural freestyle slope. Best of all, for the average freestyler, it also has a big air bag in La Chapelle, a giant plastic pillow you can throw yourself onto. What's not to love about that?
But if the snow is good, then you need to ditch the tricks and get freeriding. Bear in mind that some of the best runs are through the trees, so you don't want to wait till the skies clear to try them. Hire a guide, make sure he or she equips you with transceivers, shovels and probes, and get riding while the snow is still falling, and everyone else is indoors.
The Snowcross is the name given to selected ungroomed slopes that are surveyed by ski patrollers, who ensure safety by artificially setting off avalanches and fencing off any dangerous areas. For example, Les Crozats is a big wild area that starts from the Hauts Forts and joins the world cup downhill run down to Prodains, from where you can return to Avoriaz by the Prodains cable-car. Le Pschott is a natural bumpy run under the Brochaux chair-lift, consisting of several successive natural canyons.
Where to Learn
The Villages des Enfants.
Avoriaz has a good mix of ski schools, and an especially enlightened attitude towards the teaching of children. SKiBro, either online or as an app, is an intuitive, user-friendly platform that helps you find the most suitable instructor for your needs – for everyone from families with small children and teenagers to improving intermediates and off-piste aficionados.
The British-run Avoriaz Alpine Ski and Snowboarding School is a long-established presence here, and over the years, we've been been impressed by their upbeat and painstaking approach. More recently, top-notch British ski school New Generation has started operating in the Portes du Soleil. Its main base is down in the Morzine, but it's offering private lessons in Avoriaz too. Take a couple of these, and they'll make a big difference to the way you ski.
Among the French schools here are Evolution 2 Ecole de Ski et d'Aventure which received favourable comments from reporters, and the ESF. Both schools also teach snowboarding.
A lot going for it for families

Avoriaz has a lot going for it – it's car-free, all the accommodation is ski-in ski-out, and it's home to a highly-rated Village des Enfants/Village Snowboard, which cares for children from three years of age, using methods developed by the celebrated French ski champion, Annie Famose. It has over 100 instructors and supervisors working during peak periods. It even has an Ecole des Parents which offers lessons for six parents at a time and that fit in with the childcare hours and meeting places.
"I just can't imagine a better family resort," said a visitor. There is now a family-friendly British tour operator here, VIP Ski. And it's also worth bearing in mind that another outfit, Family Ski Company has a big operation down in Ardent, a quiet, cute and small village within the Portes du Soleil lift system.
Hot on the heels of Stash is Lil-Stash for snowboarders – but little ones. It's located in the Proclou area and is a succession of modules made from both snow and wood. There's mini boarder-cross, a snake run, kicker size XS, woops, an area for slides and boxes, 'the snow land area' for making turns, a wooden bridge, and an area in the forest.
Meanwhile, P'tits Loups creche cares for non-skiing children from three months to five years.
Dogs, igloos and camp fires
Inside the Igloo Village.
Other activities for families in the resort include special dog-sledding trips for children. These are 10 minutes long and are available for children aged between nine months and 10 years of age. You can also have a 'trapper evening' in an igloo or teepee, reached by a 60-minute snowshoe trip. You then have a traditional mountain meal around a camp fire in the open air.

Most visitors to Avoriaz stay in apartments. The majority are small, basic and cheap, although a few have been attractively refurbished. As nearly all the skiing is from your door, location is unimportant. The apartments have been designed with skiing convenience in mind: so you won't need to walk for miles in ski boots. The resort is car-free too, so children are safe to run around outside. There is also smattering of chalets here, run by British tour operators, and one exceptional hotel.
Residence L'Amara
In terms of build quality, the best ski apartments are the ones at l'Amara, at the entrance to the resort. They're ski-in ski-out, and are a long way from the rabbit hutches we used to know in French ski resorts. We're talking spa and indoor heated swimming-pool, as well as yummy fresh bread and pastry delivery for breakfast each morning. It's placed somewhere between basic and luxury, but certainly on the higher end of the scale. The building itself resembles something of an Alpine modern art sculpture.
Residence Saskia Falaise
Nearby, Residence Saskia Falaise is another imaginatively-shaped block of apartments, located right on the slopes. It's been recently refurbished so has a modern and stylish interior. The apartments are well equipped, warm, clean and cosy with lovely Alpine touches in the woodwork, art, and furnishings. Sometimes prices are discounted here during quiet weeks – and weekend-only rentals are on offer, too.
Residence Les Fontaines Blanches
Residence Les Fontaines Blanches is another rung down the accommodation ladder. It's cheap and central: right in the middle of the resort, opposite the tourist office and close to the resort's kindergarten. A ski equipment rental service is available at the apartments, but just don't expect lots of extra space or cutting-edge decor.
Hotel Les Dromonts
Don't want to cook for yourself? Then there are several options, the most luxurious of which is Hotel Les Dromonts – owned by hotelier extraordinaire Jocelyn Sibuet. It's a kooky place – a funky throwback to the heydays of Catherine Deneuve, when Avoriaz was one of the most fashionable resorts in the Alps. It houses Les Enfants Terribles restaurant and has oodles of retro-chic – the interior a mix of whacky curves and angles, secret spaces, and roaring log fires. Staying there is like having a walk-on part in a Francois Truffaut movie – with magnificent food to eat at the end of each day's filming.
Chalet Kobuk
Chalet Kobuk is located on the piste at 1850m altitude, a lift ride from the centre of the resort and the Aquariaz water park, and a stone's throw from the piste-side bars and ski school meeting place. It sleeps eight to ten people across three floors, and is ideal for families because it has two separate living areas: there's an open-plan living/dining area and a mezzanine.
Chalets Ossetra and Beluga
If you're craving a chalet experience, check out VIP's adjoining chalets Ossetra and Beluga – both are a few metres from the top of the Prodains lift, ski school meeting point and piste-side bars and restaurants. Beluga has five bedrooms and Ossetra three – all of them very light with huge windows. We love their cosy but cool ambience, and the morning wake-up tea in bed!
Chalet Marie
Ski Total's Chalet Marie is ski-in ski-out with seven wood-panelled bedrooms, all en suite, and an open fire in the living-cum-dining room. There are wonderful views from the balcony across the resort and valley. It's gorgeously decorated in Savoyard style, with high beamed ceilings and a crackling log fire.
Chalet Alaya
Also worth checking out is Alaya, which is a free-standing chalet conveniently located right next door to the children's village. It is self-catered, with flat-screen TVs in all of the seven bedrooms, a beautiful living area with an open fireplace, and a home cinema.
No 1 & 2 Penthouse
No 1 Penthouse is a stylish penthouse apartment sleeping up to seven people. It has gorgeous views, flat-screen TVs, a log fire and plush furnishings. The smaller No 2 Penthouse is entirely separate, sleeps four in two bedrooms, with an open-plan living/dining area and a contemporary fireplace. All of them have chalet catering.
Another option is to stay down at the bottom of the Prodains cable-car. This is where some of Avoriaz's best off-piste runs end up – though staying down here will add an extra lift to your itinerary every morning when you're getting up the mountain.
Chalet-Hotel Neige et Roc
At Les Prodains, Chalet-Hotel Neige et Roc, originally a farmhouse in 1905, has 30 'mountain-themed' rooms with lots of wood and pretty fabrics. It's wonderfully traditional and embodies an authentic mountain spirit in the way it looks and is run. It houses a good restaurant serving 'country-fresh cuisine'. The owners also rent out a second, tiny chalet sleeping two to three people.
Refuge Abricotine.
Avoriaz doesn't really come close to its neighbour, Morzine, when it comes to eating out – but you can still find some good places if you know where to look. Most of the lunch-time venues double as evening ones.
The main self-service mountain restaurants are prone to overcrowding during high season or when snow-cover is poor elsewhere. It pays to avoid those close to the French-Swiss border, as they tend to be some of the most overpriced. Seek out instead one of the authentic mountain huts. Coquoz (+41 24 479 1255) at Planachaux has a circular open fireplace and good food. The goat-farming hamlet of Les Lindarets has a number of enticing eateries including La Cremaillere (+33 450 74 11 68). L'Abricotine – a mountain refuge in a lovely setting at Les Brochaux, and Les Cretes de Zorre (+33 450 79 24 73), are also recommended. Le Petit Lindaret (+33 450 74 21 69) has a lot of charm.
Opening for the 2018/19 season on the site of the former Chez L'Envers restaurant is the Folie Douce, which will house a self-service restaurant called La Petite Cuisine, and La Frutiere restaurant.
A good choice of eateries in town
The restaurant in Hotel Neige et Roc.
Despite its low-fi, unassuming image, Avoriaz has a good choice of resort restaurants – a reflection of the fact that most people stay in self-catering apartments, and don't want to cook every night of their trip. Les Enfants Terribles in Hotel Les Dromonts is the must-eat destination for foodies. Le Bistro (+33 450 74 14 08), opposite Le Village des Enfants, is also good but expensive. La Reserve (+33 450 74 02 01) is an upmarket place with wonderful lamb dishes and a good wine list; it's not cheap either.
Chez Flo is recommended for its generous pasta, meat and fish dishes. Les Intrets (+33 450 74 15 45) is an old favourite that's said to be 'wonderful' by a visitor, and Creperie a La Duchess Anne (+33 450 74 12 50) is particularly good for families. L'Igloo (+33 450 73 99 15) is British-run, with a varied menu from pizza to local specialities. Chalet-Hotel Neige-Roc was built as a farmhouse in 1905 and has a good restaurant serving 'country-fresh cuisine'. La Reserve (+33 450 74 02 01) has a good menu but is expensive.

Nightlife in Avoriaz is nothing compared with the likes of Val Thorens and Val d'Isere. But it has its moments. Several bars are open until late, but there is only one nightclub as such. The resort is popular with Danes and Swedes, which always adds to the interest. Le Yeti (+33 450 74 12 78) is a popular apres-ski bar with live music, where people like to go and relax on the sun terrace. Shooters (+33 450 74 07 22) is a cool bar that attracts a young crowd. But this winter a brand new Folie Douce opens on the piste, which will certainly add to the apres-ski.
The Place is a stronghold for Scandy-types, and has live music. It doesn't get busy till late. Le Globe Trotters Cafe (+33 450 74 06 21) is a popular international pub with live music. It also serves gourmet crepes. Le Tavaillon bar/pub (+33 450 74 14 18) attracts predominantly young British customers. The Wild Horse Saloon (+33 450 74 72 29) has a good bar menu that includes Mexican dishes, and plays live music. Make sure you try one of their Wild Horse Jaegerbombs.
Le Yak (+33 450 49 51 66) is the only real nightclub in Avoriaz – playing house music and open until 5am. The other late-night spots are Le Choucas and Le Fantastique (+33 450 74 09 15) for its cocktails. If you're after something a bit more laid back and, well, grown-up, then head to Hotel Les Dromonts.
eFatBiking on the slopes.
The Great Outdoors Music Festival takes place in Avoriaz at the end of March. It features artists of the French and international pop/rock scene, with free concerts which you can access with your lift pass. A skating rink at the heart of the pedestrianised resort is floodlit until 8pm each day and has a terrace for spectators.
Aquariaz is the resort's indoor water park. It features lush vegetation and rocks: a river with a variable gentle current, a slidewinder (a kind of aquatic half-pipe), a water playhouse, a paddling pool, a large pool with climbing walls, massage benches and an open-air spa heated to 34 degrees.
Avoriaz is offering eFatBike this winter. The eFatbike is an electrically assisted bike with oversized wheels for a good grip on the snow. The activity is being offered twice a week as an apres activity in the eFatbike initiation zone, allowing everyone to try the electric bike on snow, on a specially smoothed area. The MTB school MCF offers eFatBike outings including Full-Moon outings and Evolution 2 has eFatBike outings during the day and evening.

What a fair report of Avoriaz. I first skied there in 1971 and have watched it grow over the years and your report is just as i see it today.

Chemoprotective glucosinolates and isothiocyanates of broccoli sprouts: metabolism and excretion in humans
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2001 May;10(5):501-8.
T A Shapiro 1 , J W Fahey, K L Wade, K K Stephenson, P Talalay

Broccoli sprouts are a rich source of glucosinolates and isothiocyanates that induce phase 2 detoxication enzymes, boost antioxidant status, and protect animals against chemically induced cancer. Glucosinolates are hydrolyzed by myrosinase (an enzyme found in plants and bowel microflora) to form isothiocyanates. In vivo, isothiocyanates are conjugated with glutathione and then sequentially metabolized to mercapturic acids. These metabolites are collectively designated dithiocarbamates. We studied the disposition of broccoli sprout glucosinolates and isothiocyanates in healthy volunteers. Broccoli sprouts were grown, processed, and analyzed for (a) inducer potency; (b) glucosinolate and isothiocyanate concentrations; (c) glucosinolate profiles; and (d) myrosinase activity. Dosing preparations included uncooked fresh sprouts (with active myrosinase) as well as homogenates of boiled sprouts that were devoid of myrosinase activity and contained either glucosinolates only or isothiocyanates only. In a crossover study, urinary dithiocarbamate excretion increased sharply after administration of broccoli sprout glucosinolates or isothiocyanates. Cumulative excretion of dithiocarbamates following 111-micromol doses of isothiocyanates was greater than that after glucosinolates (88.9 +/- 5.5 and 13.1 +/- 1.9 micromol, respectively; P < 0.0003). In subjects fed four repeated 50-micromol doses of isothiocyanates, the intra- and intersubject variation in dithiocarbamate excretion was very small (coefficient of variation, 9%), and after escalating doses, excretion was linear over a 25- to 200-micromol dose range. Dithiocarbamate excretion was higher when intact sprouts were chewed thoroughly rather than swallowed whole (42.4 +/- 7.5 and 28.8 +/- 2.6 micromol; P = 0.049). These studies indicate that isothiocyanates are about six times more bioavailable than glucosinolates, which must first be hydrolyzed. Thorough chewing of fresh sprouts exposes the glucosinolates to plant myrosinase and significantly increases dithiocarbamate excretion. These findings will assist in the design of dosing regimens for clinical studies of broccoli sprout efficacy.

I know some of you have developed fresh air routing or boxes that help trap fresh air to the filter...any help here?
If you can wade through some of the BS, you might find what your looking for over at www.rx7club.com (http://www.rx7club.com) . Try the 2nd gen forum or do a forum search, the topic comes up quite a bit. A few guys have made their own, and some have bought them. I know Mariah has one, but not sure who else does.
Waiting on my GCR, but is that legal?
Sure is. Not talking about a ram air set up here but a 'modification' to the air filter housing/design that is unrestricted.


Chiang Mai is one of the oldest cities in Thailand, founded in 1296 and once was the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, today Chiang Mai offers a charming and laidback vibe; everything from green mountainous landscapes, admiring beautiful animals & of course, the most exotic and droolingly delicious flavors. Of course, two days in any city is not nearly enough time to see, do, and eat everything but with three days in the northern capital, you will be able to get a teaser of what Chiang Mai is.
I am the queen of lists. I love all lists, but I have to say that my favorite kind of lists are bucket lists! Every time I got a new place, city or country I start a bucket list. I am already over the moon with excitement for the trip but creating a bucket makes me even more so excited about the trip and helps me organize my trip. I am able to see, do and eat all the things I really want to and always leave room for some spontaneity.
Teaching English to kindergarteners is one of the most challenging (and rewarding) things I have ever done in my life. Prior to venturing on this adventure to teach English in Thailand. The amount of information they learned from our time together at school, is about the same as a number of lessons I learned throughout the year.
Hello, I'm Miss. Krista. I am going to take you on a journey through what my day looks like as an English teacher for kindergarten in rural Thailand.

The MAC report on immigration - what employers need to know
The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) has finally published its long awaited report on the impact on the UK labour market of the UK's exit from the European Union. The MAC was commissioned by the Government to assess the impact of EEA migration on the UK's economy and society as well as to consider recommendations for the UK's future immigration system.
With international mobility and collaboration a particular feature in the life sciences sector, any changes to the UK immigration system are likely to affect employers and employees in this sector. Indeed, recent research undertaken by the UK BioIndustry Association ('BIA'), the trade association for innovative life science organisations in the UK, and the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry ('ABPI'), indicates that up to 41% of the workforce of their members are non-UK nationals.
No preferential access for EU citizens
The headline recommendation from the MAC report was that there should be no preferential access to the UK for EEA citizens in the future.
This recommendation is surprising in view of the fact that the MAC report concluded that EEA immigration to the UK has had virtually no negative impact on the UK economy or society. The MAC found that EEA migrants actually make a positive net contribution to public finances, paying more in taxes than they receive in benefits.
Many employers, including those in the life sciences sector, also submitted evidence to the MAC emphasising the importance of being able to continue to hire EEA employees with little or no red tape. Merck, for example, stated in its response that it will be critical for companies to continue to have access to highly skilled EEA workers with minimal cost and administrative burdens. They added that any move to limit access to such EEA nationals would only serve to exacerbate an existing skills shortage and restrict the ability of the UK science and technology sector to continue to lead the way. It seems, however, that their views have been largely ignored, especially as it has since been reported that the Cabinet has agreed with the MAC's recommendation that there will be no preferential access to the UK labour market for EEA nationals and that the future immigration system should be based on skills rather than nationality.
Lower-skilled workers
Disappointingly for many employers, the MAC also recommended that there is no need for a separate low-skilled worker scheme, with the possible exception of a seasonal agricultural workers scheme. Instead, the focus should be on highly skilled migrants.
Subsequent reports are that the Cabinet has agreed that the focus should be on skilled migration but they nonetheless backed a scheme proposed by the Home Secretary, Sajid Javid, to create a specific route for low-skilled workers to come into the UK and work in sectors such as agriculture, social care and hospitality.
If such a scheme is introduced it would be welcome relief to employers where sourcing sufficient workers from the UK workforce to fill low skilled roles in these areas has been a real struggle, especially given historic low unemployment rates.
Focus on highly skilled workforce
That said, the majority of the roles filled by non-UK nationals in the life sciences sector are highly skilled roles, such as in scientific research and development. In order to overcome skills shortage a significant percentage of such roles are filled by individuals from the EEA and the rest of the world. For those businesses which rely on migrants from around the world, the MAC does make some welcome proposals, for example:
Abolishing the annual Tier 2 cap of 20,700 per year;
Expanding this route to cover medium skilled roles as well as highly skilled roles. This would make an additional 142 occupations potentially eligible for Tier 2 (General) provided they meet the minimum salary threshold of £30,000 per annum, including Health Care Practice Managers, Medical and Dental Technicians, Laboratory technicians and other health care professionals;
Abolishing the 'Resident labour market test' –i.e. the advertising and recruitment process that is often required before an employer is able to sponsor someone under the Tier 2 (General) category;
Relaxing the requirement that employers may only sponsor someone if there is no suitable settled worker and allowing employers to appoint the best candidate; and
Allowing Tier 2 migrants to switch employers more easily.
However the report also proposes using the current Tier 2 sponsorship system as a template for the future system and specifically recommends making EEA nationals subject to the Immigration Skills Surcharge, which would add up to £5,000 to the cost of employing an individual for a 5 year visa.
Further, those UK employers who already sponsor non-EEA migrants under the Tier 2 route will know how cumbersome and expensive the process is. In their response to the MAC's initial request for information the BIA and ABPI criticised the current system as being overly bureaucratic and Merck described the current system as being very burdensome and difficult to negotiate. The concern is that if, in the future, EEA nationals are subject to the same levels of red tape currently faced by non-EEA nationals this will cause delays and costs for businesses and may deter EEA nationals from coming to the UK. The MAC report acknowledges these criticisms and recommends that the Government tries to reduce the bureaucracy although no guidance is given as to how.
It is unlikely that any changes will come into effect immediately after Brexit as both the MAC and industry bodies have acknowledged the need for changes to be introduced gradually. It is likely that there will be a transitional period until 31 December 2020 during which EEA nationals will continue to be able to come to the UK with few or no restrictions.
That said, nothing is certain and the life sciences sector, as with all employers, will need to await the outcome of the Brexit negotiations and the Brexit White Paper (due to be published later this autumn) for a better indication as to what the post Brexit immigration system will look like.

Sanitary Sewer Operations & Maintenance
The Sanitary Sewer Operations and Maintenance program is split into two distinct sections; the Collector / Analysis, Inspection, Maintenance, Support (A.I.M.S) section and the Pump Station section.
Collector/AIMS Section
The Collector / A.I.M.S section has two Operations Supervisors that oversee the daily operations and report to the Operations Superintendent.
Sewer Stoppages
Crews are engaged in clearing residential and industrial sewer stoppages from the city's right-of-way line to the sanitary sewer mainline. Crews are available for this work on a 16-hour a day basis. Weekdays from 7 AM to 6 PM, requests for service come from 311. After hours requests for service are received by the Security Division of Public Works. They are routed to a night crew until 11 PM. After that they go to an on-call Wastewater Division Operations Superintendent who determines the appropriate response.
Collector Operations: sewer construction/installation/repair
This section is responsible for the repair or replacement of broken sanitary sewer mainlines, laterals, and manholes. This section also handles all new residence tie-ins, contractor coordination for new residential sewer connection issues and support in helping septic tank users transition to City of Newport News sewer service.
Analysis, Inspection, Maintenance and Support (AIMS)
The primary mission of the AIMS group is the analysis and inspection of the City of Newport News sanitary sewer mainlines, laterals, and manholes. This cyclic program utilizes state-of-the-art equipment including laptop computers, CCTV, robotics, and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) to analyze the entire City of Newport News sewer system by pump station service area. These analysis/inspection programs result in identifying all problem areas of the service area's sewer system. Repairs or replacements that can be accomplished with city personnel will be given to Collection Operations. Work that requires a contractor will be scheduled in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) with the Engineering Department.
Additional units in the AIMS group are assigned to inspect sewer lines prior to street reconstruction. This concept permits a comprehensive inventory of the city's sewer lines in advance of major street work. As a part of our preventative maintenance program, crews are also assigned to clean sanitary sewer mainlines throughout the city. Preventive maintenance of these lines helps to mitigate sewerage overflows. Crews are also assigned to clean sanitary sewer mainlines throughout the city. Preventive maintenance of these lines helps to mitigate sewerage overflows.
One of the components of our sewer inspection program is smoke testing of the sewer mainline. Smoke testing is designed to find leaks in the sewer system. If we are planning to conduct this type of inspection in a residential area, a letter is supplied to the citizens in advance of the actual work. The letter describes the types of work that we are conducting as well as detailed information about the product we are using.
It is important to note that if smoke is observed inside a residence, there is usually one of the following problems:
1. A dry trap from a basement or shower.
2. A leaking toilet wax seal.
3. A stopped up roof vent.
In the cases listed above, there is a potential for sewer gas to enter the residence. Immediate action should be taken on the part of the homeowner to repair the problem.
Here is an example of some problems that can cause infiltration and inflow into the sewer system.
Here is a sample of how your sewer lateral ties into the sewer system.
Miss Utility Operations - Engineering Technician and Utilities Locator
The Engineering Technician & Utilities Locator is responsible for reviewing and maintaining the plans and blueprints of all sanitary and storm sewer infrastructure components.
The Virginia Miss Utility Law requires that all city sewer lines are marked and identified within 48 hours of notification. Using highly technical locating equipment, the Engineering Technician and Utilities Locator are able to prevent damage to our infrastructure by contractors and other utility owners / operators. The Engineering Technician and Utilities Locator is responsible for the receipt, dispatch, and tracking of all Miss Utility tickets transmitted to the division. They work closely with Miss Utility of Virginia in using the "One Call Automatic Retrieval System" (Polaris Utility Locate Ticket Management Software), which is a web-based data entry and retrieval system. These positions report directly to the Operations Supervisor.
Pump Station Operation and Maintenance
There are currently over 190 pumping stations located throughout the city. Maintenance and Instrumentation Control Specialist Teams under the direction of the Pump Station Operations Superintendent perform preventive and corrective maintenance on all mechanical and electrical equipment associated with the stations. Additionally, four Generator Specialists perform preventive and corrective maintenance on emergency generators for pumping stations.
Modern technology plays an important role in the activities of this group. The latest upgrade in the city's Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition technology (SCADA) system is in Phase II of a three phase program of installation. This new SCADA system will integrate existing and new systems to continuously monitor all sewer flows, wet well levels, system pressures, and overall condition of the pumping stations from our operations center in the Public Works Complex. It will also allow a significant improvement in system integration between our software and hardware systems as never before. In addition this will also allow our pumping stations to be remotely controlled by specialized computer technology as needed during severe storm events. An apprenticeship program for Pumping Station Mechanical and Electrical personnel has been established which will help to assure that our staff is trained in the latest technology and personnel development training.
Pump Station Operations Superintendent
There are two Operations Superintendents for the Pump Station section. One Superintendent is in charge of the mechanical portions of the pump stations and the valve maintenance, overseeing the Maintenance Mechanics and the Maintenance Specialists. The other Operations Superintendent for the Pump Station section oversees the electrical and generator portions of the pump stations, overseeing the Instrumentation Control Specialists, the Electricians, and the Generator Specialists.

1954 Peterborough rowboat
I restored this 1954 Peterborough strip-planked rowboat for my wife's family. The boat was built by the Peterborough Canoe Company in Peterborough, Ontario. It is the 16-foot Burleigh (Model #1418) and a decal on the foredeck identifies it as the 75th Anniversary Edition, which cost $220 when new. Although Peterborough had a long history making a wide selection of finely built wooden boats, the company exaggerated a bit when celebrating it's 75th birthday. Peterborough was founded as an amalgamation of several other boat building firms and the Peterborough name actually started in 1892. The company dated its origins from one of those smaller firms, which had been founded in 1879.
The small motorboats, rowboats and canoes that Peterborough built by the thousands were enormously popular in the vast land of lakes of Ontario and Quebec. The area north of Toronto, including the Muskoka Lakes, is known today as "cottage country" and many of these boats can still be found in this region, used for recreation and travel to the cottages, many of which are only accessible by water.
Peterborough probably built its finest boats between 1900-1925, at a time when outdoor recreation was just beginning to boom and small gasoline engines were transforming boats and boat designs. Although the vast majority of Peterborough's boats were built using red cedar strip-planking, in the 1920's the company produced a line of mahogany inboard runabouts. The company developed an assembly line production process for its boats, and at the company's height, just after World War Two, they employed about 200 workers.
Although the end of the War meant a return to peacetime pursuits such as recreation, wartime developments of new materials quickly threatened wooden boat building. Aluminum, plywood and fiberglass rapidly took over the market and just seven years after this boat was produced, the Peterborough Canoe Company closed its doors. Today the factory houses the Canadian Canoe Museum (http://www.canoemuseum.ca/).
I replaced the white oak keel and stems of this boat, as well as the butternut decks, white oak coamings and mahogany details. I had to scarf in a small piece of red cedar to repair a hole in the hull. Some of the half-round elm frames also needed replacement. I scarfed a new handle on one of the spruce oars, which feature a graceful spoon shape, but I realized later that the oar pattern fit neatly in a construction 2-by-6. The most time consuming part of the restoration was revarnishing the entire boat inside and out. She rows beautifully with one or two people, and can easily carry four adults. She is just a little bit heavy for cartopping, but two strong people could transport her that way. Anyone interested in a replica of this boat should contact me. Fully restored originals are worth about $5,000 today, and a replica, while costing a bit more, would give its owner the same decades of use that these originals have given their owners.

5 takeaways from Wimbledon 2017
Roger Federer with his 19th Grand Slam title
Modified 18 Jul 2017, 13:31 IST
Roger Federer won his 19th Grand Slam title while Gabriel Muguruza won the Wimbledon for the first time in her career.
Roger Federer's straightforward win over Marin Cilic in the final of the men's section on Centre Court brought two weeks of incredible tennis to an end (Although there was a mixed doubles match after the showpiece final).
These past two weeks saw players toiling on the grass of London, giving their blood, sweat and in some cases, tears, to continue progressing in the tournament.
With the grass court season now over, let us look back at five things we learnt from the 131st edition of The Championship:
#1 Timeless Roger Federer continues to astound
In little more than a couple of weeks, the Swiss ace will turn 36. Yes, you read that right. Soak that piece of trivia right in.
Federer has successfully turned back the clock this season, winning both the Australian Open, as well as a record-breaking eighth Wimbledon crown, the latter by dispatching all of his opponents in the tournament, not dropping a single set.
He was a picture of consistency and efficiency throughout the two weeks, and elevated his game when he had to and was the best player without a doubt.
An injury-filled 2016 saw him miss two Grand Slams, but the greatest of all-time put in the hard hours focusing on his fitness, and has been the best player in 2017.

We decided to take ourselves away for a couple of days to try to rid ourselves of some accumulated end-of-summer-that-hardly-was glooms. Partially successful only, to be honest, but I was happy to return with some of the inevitable camera full of photographs . . . of which these are a proportion.
I somehow feel they are different from my usual (blowsy, romantic!) style and that they rather reflect my mood . . . or perhaps that is simply my take on things.
If you can spare the time, do click them bigger for they seem to want as much space as they can get, as do I!
They are not intended to provide memories of particular places but, for the record, we were in Lyme Regis, Portland and Cerne Abbas – all in the county of Dorset.
a photograph of Frances reprising her end-of-the-pier triumph in the role of Winnie in Samuel Beckett's Happy Days!
These are beautiful images Nicolas, and seem steeped in the Neo-romantic tradition to me, coming from a similar world as Paul Nash's photographs of Swanage. That sense of emptiness and the appreciation of negative spaces. (Which given what you do is not surprising in the least.) These are extremely appealing, and not at all tinged with darkness. Maybe there should be a slender yet satisfying edition!
Nicolas, I echo what clixchix said. These photos are truly works of art. I wish I could see what your unique camera-eye would have done with Tavira, in Portugal, where I just spent a week and came back with rather banal pics (see blog). Granted my camera is very poor in pixels but that doesn't explain it.

Charles Sturt University's Explorations Series is part of the Community-University Partnership (CUP) program and aims to engage our rural and regional communities in discussion and debate about major issues facing our regions, the nation and the world.
Our events are free and open to the public.
The name of the University honours the noted explorer Captain Charles Napier Sturt. It was, in the words of Charles Sturt, a "… wish to contribute to the public good" that gave him the gumption to explore and map the interiors and major waterways of western NSW. Through his explorations, Sturt contributed to our understanding of rural and regional Australia, and the natural world.
The Explorations Series brings speakers from diverse disciplines to our campuses to share the latest ideas, thinking and opinions on contemporary social, scientific and cultural issues. Delivered by prominent academics, authors and keynote speakers, events in the series are designed to encourage debate and explore ideas about the big issues facing our society.

There are some products that you wonder how you ever did without... the RAB Microlight Alpine Insulated Down Jacket is one of them. For lightweight adventuring, it is an invaluable companion; mine has accompanied me on many of my biggest adventures to date.
The beauty of down insulated jackets is how packable, lightweight, and warm they are: it is like having the cosiest hoodie in your wardrobe; but with a pack size not much larger than your fist, and weighing less than a small water bottle. These properties are what make them the ultimate insulating layer for lightweight adventuring.
The RAB Microlight Alpine Jacket is the best example of a packable down jacket that I have come across to date. It features Pertex Quantum fabrics and 750FP Nikwax treated European Goose Down – to provide a robust and water-resistant design; far more so than many super lightweight down jackets I have used.
The Sportful Fiandre Extreme Jacket is one of the most impressive pieces of cycling kit I have come across to date; the single layer Polartec Neoshell fabric creates an outer layer that is lightweight, yet extremely protective against the elements.
I used the first iteration of the Sportful Fiandre Extreme Neoshell Jacket for the TorTour Cyclocross Winter Stage Race, last year in Switzerland. The jacket instantly impressed: I was riding at threshold effort, in wind and snow, and yet I never once overheated or felt cold.
I reviewed the original SeeSense 2.0 Light Set in 2015 here on lifeinthesaddle.cc; those lights are still in almost daily use. Then I reviewed the See.Sense Icon Light Set in 2016; those too do almost daily duty. The new release from the Irish Kick-Starter funded brand is the See.Sense ACE Light Set, which shows even more incremental design improvements over its predecessors.
The original See.Sense 2.0 Lights were a bit clunky, and the power ports were a bit exposed; yet they were incredibly intelligent; responding to changes in road surface, ambient lighting, and movement, in order to regulate light output and improve both visibility and battery life over traditional blinkers. My three year old set are still in use on my winter cyclocross bike (they take a battering).
I was touting the benefits of stainless water bottles long before the 'war on plastic'; read posts from 2016, and you will note praise for better taste, sustainability and hygiene. My latest carry is the ZOKU Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle.
The 18oz ZOKU Stainless Steel Bottle is a vacuum insulated water bottle that promises to keep cold drinks cool for up to 40 hours, and hot beverages warm for up to 12 hours. It is made from high quality (heavy gauge) stainless steel, and has a super solid drop proof feel to it.
I have adopted the ZOKU as my every day carry for the last month; taking it in bike bottle cages and clipped to my rucksack using the integrated (but removable) paracord lanyard. It has stood the use and abuse very well, and does indeed do a great job of keeping hot things hot, and cold things cold, without a hint of leakage.
I opted for the plain black colour way, but you can get an array of ten different colours.
The Smith Optics Overtake Helmet and Attack Sunglasses were my headwear of choice for the #RoadsFromRome tour, and they surpassed all my expectations.
With Italian styling, and a superb build quality; this helmet and pair of sunglasses have a unique look, but equally exceptional performance.
Smith Optics Overtake Helmet Review Most people will recognise the Smith Optics Overtake Helmet from the distinctive horizontal vents on the front of the helmet, as well as the pointed rear section, and the honeycomb like internal structure. All of these are unique design features, but they are also features that help to explain the great performance of this helmet.

The Trailer for Netflix's Lost in Space Is Lookin' Preeeetty Awesome
by Sarah Militello Mar 7, 2018
The full trailer for Netflix's Lost in Space has been released and to say it looks pretty epic is definitely putting it mildly. Like the original, the story focuses on the Robinson family's struggle for survival after crash-landing on a dangerous planet lightyears from the colony they were trying to reach. That said, it's not just the nostalgia factor that makes this remake look like it might stand to be a hit. Between the design that's more than a little bit like a cross between Mass Effect and Avatar and a deluge of visuals that just won't quit I honestly think I'd be excited for this series even if it wasn't attached to such a big piece of American pop culture. But, then, maybe I'm just a sucker for anything pretty that's set in space. Check out the trailer below and decide for yourself.

Why I'm sad that the Manchester Classic Car Show is no more
IT'S the most wonderful time of the year. For wandering around exhibition halls looking at old cars, that is, because it's too cold and miserable to be doing it outdoors.
The big one for anyone into Jaguar E-types, Triumph Stags and the like is the three-day show down at the NEC in Birmingham, but I've long advocated doing your homework, booking a budget flight and checking out the foreign ones, because there's so many of them. A couple of years ago I had a great weekend wandering around Barcelona's big classic show – and a bit of sightseeing, of course – because it was cheaper to hop on a big silver bird at John Lennon than it was to spend a weekend going to many of Britain's bigger car shows. Paris' Retromobile and the big German shows are just around the corner. Top tip if you're looking for a Christmas present with a difference!
But I'm saddened this week that the North West's entry in this big round-up of indoor shows is no more. Over the weekend the organisers of the Manchester Classic Car Show, held every September at Event City by the Trafford Centre, said it won't be returning in 2019 due to rising costs. Or in "the foreseeable future" either, according to the organiser's official statement. Which is a shame, because it was a proper, petrolhead day out that dialled down the hog roasts and live bands because it knew everyone wanted to look at Triumph Dolomites instead.
The frustrating thing was that, confronted with rising costs at Event City, the organisers had nowhere else to turn to, because no other venue in the North West can stage a big, indoor car show (neither Manchester Central nor the Echo Arena in Liverpool have that sort of floorspace, since you're asking). Over in Germany virtually every city has a Messe – a trade fair, or in other words a massive indoor venue geared up to holding Crufts-sized mega-shows, so there are loads of options if you want to put on a car show. But in the UK you've got the NEC, ExCeL down in London's Docklands, Event City – and that's about it. Even rosy old Earl's Court, which I loved going to as a kid, is under some swish new housing now.
Which is frustrating, because I know from the sheer volume of cars that turn up to the North West's many outdoor shows that there's an appetite for at least one decent indoor one, which we can all enjoy when it's tipping it down with rain.
Maybe it's time for a new venue altogether. Anyone got a disused aircraft hanger or an unfeasibly large warehouse going spare?

The Speech That Set the Women's Rights Movement on Fire
Growing up on a farm in West Brookfield, Mass., Lucy Stone resented her father's iron control over the income her mother earned from selling eggs and cheese. Stone channeled that resentment into leadership of the women's rights movement.
Women's Rights Leader Lucy Stone
Stone, born in 1818, was the first Massachusetts woman to earn a college degree. She graduated from Oberlin College in Ohio in 1847 and became a lecturer for the women's rights movement. She had a beautiful voice and proved a mesmerizing speaker. She was "a little meek-looking Quakerish body, with the sweetest, modest manners and yet as unshrinking and self-possessed as a loaded canon," according to one description.
Two years after the Seneca Falls Convention gave birth to the women's rights movement, Stone helped plan the first National Woman's Rights Convention in 1850 along with a who's who of abolitionist, temperance and women's rights leaders: William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Sojourner Truth, Abby Kelley Foster, and Frederick Douglass.
Organizers chose Worcester, Mass., for the convention, then a hotbed of radical thought and the home of Stone, several other abolitionists and networks of Quaker families who helped organize the anti-slavery cause. More than a thousand women from 11 states attended the meeting, held on Oct. 23-24 at Brinley Hall, along with condescending newspaper reporters who called it "an insurrection in petticoats." Stone was one of the last to speak, but what a speech she gave.
"We want to be something more than the appendages of Society; we want that woman should be the coequal and help-meet of man in all the interest and perils and enjoyments of human life," she said. "We want that she should attain to the development of her nature and womanhood; we want that when she dies, it may not be written on her gravestone that she was the "relict" of somebody."
Stone wasn't the only woman to give a terrific speech at the convention. But Stone paid to have the proceedings published in a book and distributed. Susan B. Anthony said reading that speech converted her to the women's rights movement. The scornful press backfired and enlisted new advocates for the cause of women's rights as far away as the United Kingdom.

Sales operations teams are an essential piece of the sales department puzzle. For sales representatives to properly dedicate focus to making sales, operations teams ensure that representatives are equipped with the right tools and datasets and prevent potential sales pipeline roadblocks by implementing proper sales planning.
Sales ops teams tend to be quite dynamic and unique depending on the size of the sales department, the industry, and the needs of the sales representatives. The goal of all sales ops teams is to properly execute a successful sales strategy and ensure that the department's productivity is at its highest.
A typical sales operations manager, analyst, or representative wears many hats in their everyday work life. Between debating short- and long-term sales strategies, forecasting sales, or analyzing process metrics, the types of tasks, as well as the number of tasks, can change on a whim. A role like sales operations requires as little manual labor as possible. It's much better to automate as many sales operations tasks as possible by using tools such as those listed here.
While sales operations teams share the same core goals with sales representatives and sales managers, the challenges differ in a variety of ways. So, how are sales operations teams handling challenges in 2019 and beyond?

Recently certified as a Mathletics Lead Educator, Jemima Saunders shares a little about herself and how she uses Mathletics within her Year 5 classroom.
Jemima has been in teaching for over a decade, beginning at Our Lady's Assumption in Dianella WA in 2011 after teaching in South Australia. She initially introduced Mathletics in combination with a variety of mathematics resources and loved using Mathletics straight away in her upper primary context.
Jemima uses Mathletics for student engagement, assessment , teaching and learning and group work/peer tutoring. Integrating Mathletics by setting compulsory tasks for personalised homework, Jemima finds that Mathletics enriches learning when students complete the tasks she sets, particularly as they receive immediate feedback and progress through the content that matches explicit learning during maths lessons. She also uses the assessment data to inform reporting and awards certificates of achievement to students who achieve their individual best. Jemima finds it valuable to regularly incorporate activities from the eBooks in her explicit whole class and group teaching strategies and also amends the available content for her students to streamline their focus throughout the year.
As an Exemplary Educator via the Catholic Education office in the area of ICT, Jemima is undergoing the Emerging Leaders program this year and will complete her Masters in Education in 2015. Together with her involvement in her school's Mathematics and other committees Jemima also offers short professional development session through the TeachMeetWA organisation.
For Jemima, she's most passionate about relationships, with students, families and colleagues, and developing the quality of interactions with others.

Onor And Otu Clinch PDP And APC Governorship Tickets In C' River
From Idongesit Inyang
The senator representing the Central Senatorial District of Cross River who on Thursday picked the gubernatorial ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2023 general election has promised to offer the state a leadership that is different.
Also, Senator Bassey Otu who clinched the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Cross River State governorship primary election has promised to reposition Cross River State.
Professor Sandy Onor, defeated his colleague in the National Assembly, Sen. Gershom Bassey, who represents the Southern Senatorial District in the Ninth Assembly with a total votes of 236 to 175 votes.
Speaking on the victory, Onor said, God was about to do something new in Cross River.
He said, "We will take the state to where it used to be where people came and saw a clean and green environment."
It would be recalled that other contestants were: Mr Arthur Archibong with six votes, Amb. Nkoyo Toyo, four votes, Imah Adegoke, one vote and Mrs Filia Henshaw, two votes.
One of the aspirants, Mr Effiok Cobham, former deputy governor of Cross River withdrew from the race.
Declaring the result, Mr Babajide Coker, chairman, PDP Cross River gubernatorial primary election who declared Onor winner said 591 voters were accredited and 591 votes were cast.
Coker added that 571 votes were valid while 20 votes were void saying "By the powers conferred on me as chairman of the electoral committee for the gubernatorial convention in Cross River, I hereby declare Sen. Sandy Onor, the winner of the election.
He added that "Having pulled the highest number of votes, he is hereby returned and elected."
Meanwhile Senator Bassey Otu who has swept APC Cross River governorship primary, polled 811 votes to defeat the other two aspirants, Senator John Owan-Enoh who garnered 84 votes and Chris Agara that got 63 votes.
The primary, which was attended by the governor, Professor Ben Ayade, and bigwigs of the APC in Cross River State, was held at the U. J. Esuene Stadium.
The chairman of the Cross River State APC 2023 governorship primary election, Mr. Mohammed Manolo, counted the votes and said "by the powers conferred on me by the national leadership of the APC, I hereby declare Senator Bassey Otu elected as the governorship candidate of the Cross River All Progressives Congress."
In a brief remark, Otu appreciated Governor Ben Ayade for the courage, dexterity and ethical standing and thanked the delegates for giving him their votes without any form of enticements.
Otu pledged to work with other aspirants and the people to reposition Cross River State, stating "I promise that we will continue where you will stop. We will make sure we take it to the level where all the people will benefit."
Earlier, the governor, Professor Ben Ayade, had urged the 980 delegates to vote their conscience in the spirit of equity and fairness.

Cranford Law Firm, Werschulz Patent Law, LLC | Is My Idea Patentable?
Many times, people come to see me with what I call concepts. These concepts are good ideas — maybe even great marketing ideas — but when I ask them to sketch it out or verbally describe what it will look like, I sometimes get a blank look.
They have a product idea, but what it looks like and how it functions are not fully developed. At this point, I have to break the news to people that they must be able to describe it, or even make a rough sketch of it. I'm not looking for finished quality drawings or functioning prototypes, but their structure has to be outlined. If they already have a prototype, then we have to go to the next step, which is to see if it's novel — but if they do not have any idea of what the parts are, or how it works, they need to go back to the drawing board.
In other cases, people will come to me and present an idea…in a field that they honestly know nothing about. They observe what they think is a solution to a problem, and when they present their concepts to me, I often have to explain that someone has already solved that problem that their big idea is already out there and that they need to rework it to distinguish it from what's already on the market.
Do I have something that's patentable?
There is always room for innovation because there is a seemingly endless number of problems out there, and each one has many possible solutions. Just because somebody else has already solved a problem doesn't mean you can't solve it by using a different approach. If it's structurally different and if it operates in a different way, you'll be able to patent it.
The answer to that question depends on the factors I've listed above, in addition to many, many other factors that would not fit into any single blog post. That's why it's important to see a patent attorney versed in the law and recent court decisions — even if only to be told that you need to start over from scratch.

Poroshenko to sue 1+1 TV channel, - Petro Poroshenko Bloc
Petro Poroshenko Bloc calls on Ukrainian citizens to treat news and other information products of the 1+1 TV channel with great caution
Presidential candidate of Ukraine and current President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko intends to sue 1+1 TV channel for spreading lies and disinformation. Artur Gerasimov, the Head of Petro Poroshenko Bloc's fraction in the Verkhovna Rada, stated this.
"Petro Poroshenko decided to sue 1+1 TV for systematic lies in particularly large amounts, for spreading absolute disinformation that violates honor and dignity of the presidential candidate and the current President," Artur Gerasimov stated this, the claim was published on the official election campaign website of Petro Poroshenko.
Poroshenko's Bloc calls on Ukrainian citizens to treat news and other information products of a 1+1 TV channel with great caution, as there appears "more political orders from the owner."

"The information policy of one of the Ukrainian TV channels has changed a lot recently… The owner of the channel could not help but use his power… He turned the channel into a tool of dirty political tricks for bad fame against one of the political candidates, in particular, against Petro Poroshenko. Ihor Kolomoysky has destroyed the main principles of free journalism freedom of speech," the report said.
According to Gerasimov, Ihor Kolomoysky is guided by a sense of revenge to the state, taking into account the fact that the government was forced to nationalize PrivatBank, whose co-owner was Kolomoisky.

"Besides, the Petro Poroshenko Bloc sincerely sympathizes the journalist team of the channel. Not every journalist takes part in this dirty work," Gerasimov pointed out.
According to the Head of Petro Poroshenko Bloc's fraction, the bad fame, the severe violations of the elementary principles of journalism, which the channel has used for several months, "do not allow us simply to ignore this."
"1+1 TV channel strikes by the number of lies, bias attitude, disinformation and participation in the election campaign on the side of those candidates supported by the channel's owner. This channel is not ashamed to borrow fake information spread by the Moscow press. They even let Russian propaganda into Ukrainian information policy," Gerasimov added.
