during the 1960s has come back during the Uranus/Pluto squares. Uranus was conjunct Pluto in Virgo during the 1960s, and now they have attained enough distance apart to square each other on and off during 2012-2015. The squares are bringing idealism, hope, and desire for radical change back on stage. Many people feel very ungrounded and lost, since great change alters reality even if you think we don't need to change. We are in it together on the great black-and-white chessboard of life; some feel checkmated, others manage to continue to move.
I begin by looking at what goes on when Pluto transits Capricorn every 250 years, a time of fundamental structural changes in society. Going back a few cycles, the Protestant Reformation and the European invasion of the Americas occurred when Pluto was in Capricorn 1515-32 CE. During the next transit in 1762-77 CE, the steam engine was invented (industrialization), and America gained independence from England. History will probably conclude that we connected everybody in cyberspace from 2008 to 2023, the current transit of Pluto in Capricorn. The transit of Pluto into Capricorn is the background field while Uranus and Pluto work through seven consecutive squares.
Ukraine or have lunch in Damascus. Go sample the water in Fukushima or go find the wayward remains of Flight 370. Many other world events have happened since the first Uranus/Pluto square on June 24, 2012, that feels like a distant shore we departed a decade ago. We are plowing through great swells and choppy waves toward a new reality we can't imagine. Our guts are stirred by the aimless search for airplane wreckage in the barren reaches of the South Indian Ocean, as this search reminds us that we too have lost parts of ourselves. How did you feel about during the desperate search for anyone alive after the mud engulfed Oso, Washington? Were you reminded of the desolate feelings during the Cold War when Russia marched into Crimea and claimed it as its own? As you can see by the two previous transits of Pluto in Capricorn, this much change is daunting. The question is: Are we getting anywhere or just going deeper into change and chaos?
configuration in the sky, yet I love its creative potential! This is the big game changer! It sets in a field of optimal creative potential because the New Moon in Aries (March 30, 2014) set in quantum field forces that are orchestrating events in the solid world. Considering what has been going on since the Aries New Moon, you can expect things to happen that nobody ever thought would be possible—both positive and negative. The April 15 Lunar Eclipse even has Mercury in 14 Aries conjunct Uranus—awareness! Briefly, Mercury becomes the fifth planet in the grand square!
During the first Uranus/Pluto square on June 24, 2012, the main issue was sustainability: Many could finally see that impending ecocide was a great danger on our planet. During the second square on September 19, 2012, many knew what each person chooses creates our world, since sustainability comes from what each person creates. During the third square May 20, 2013, many people contemplated the destruction of the ecosystem, which is causing mental collapse in those depressed by the fragility of our life systems that are clearly under human assault. Brave whistleblowers like Eric Snowdon put their lives on the line, and he is already vindicated! On March 25, 2014, US President Obama proposed NSA end the mass collection of phone data; we must have privacy and rights in cyberspace.
During the fourth square on November 1, 2013, and the heliocentric square on November 23, an amazing thing happened: People found they were swimming in a quantum world with everything speeding up; many wondered about survival in a techie world. Will we sustain 3D while going into 4D cyberspace? Where are you in the dimensions? Each of us will have to firm up our intentions to inhabit 3D or 4D, or both around April 20-23, since whatever you choose is going to manifest during this summer and fall. Will you keep shopping at the mall to get shot and/or use your credit card to get robbed? Cyber warfare targets the USA because it wasted tax dollars on NSA snooping instead of securing the web financially! The grand square makes a direct hit on the USA's Saturn-square-Sun, a time of reckoning. The sixth square occurs December 15, 2014, when people will demand protection in cyberspace.
firestorm by the war in Syria with refugees pouring out across its borders causing religious factionalism and stress. The mainstream media filters the truth about Israel, yet many in the world question the legitimacy of the Jewish State unless there is also a Palestinian State. Thus, a Third Intifada has commenced with economic boycotts on the Israelis to protest their provocative and illegal settlements in the West Bank. These conflicts are weakening patriarchal religions. One has to wonder whether organized religion will even exist in a hundred years? This grand square will force many to assess the value of religion in light of so many people killing each other over their beliefs. Warfare is the greatest source of environmental deterioration. Divide and conquer only enriches thieves and murderers, yet now the need for survival is trumping cynical elite profiteering. Tension in the Middle East and the Ukraine, Chinese economic issues, and the weakening British/American alliance force people to opt for survival.
The basic reading for the grand square is as follows: Uranus, the planet of change and transformation in Aries—its most aggressive mode—activates Mars, the planet of using force retrograde in Libra—its most profound mode of seeking balance and harmony. Uranus opposite Mars exactly squares Jupiter opposite Pluto. Jupiter, the planet of fortune and wellbeing in Cancer—its most nurturing mode—activates Pluto retrograde in Capricorn, releasing the demons in the underworld. Jupiter is the home of the gods and Pluto is the realm of the demonic, so Jupiter-opposite-Pluto in the grand square strips off the lies shrouding the gods—the current 1% elite. I've used "activate" to convey the Full Moon quality of these oppositions, but all four planets are totally locked into the exact 90-degree square that says Just do it! Manifest! Face the truth even if it makes you feel like you're going to die someday!
potential of each planet! So, I ask : Are you nurturing? (Jupiter in Cancer); do you know your soul in the underworld? (Pluto in Capricorn); how balanced are you in the midst of chaos? (Mars in Libra); and are you transforming everything in your life and in the world? (Uranus in Aries) This grand square realigns political control within major economic and geographical zones for human survival. Father God in his current destructive mode has to go! As you observe the dramas, the more violence or tension there is in a given country, the more it is clutching old destructive beliefs. It is time to clean out the attic before the rotting chemical rags and old wiring burn the house down!
The Sun is in 2 degrees of Taurus sextile Neptune in 7 Pisces, so spiritual awareness supports earthy and bucolic Taurus. Neptune in its home sign of Pisces has been continually drawing out the positive spiritual aspects of the Age of Pisces. For example, many people realize Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, who was a high priestess. Or, as I explore in my upcoming novel, The Ruby Crystal [the focus of my Open Minds February interview on Gaiam TV], the real truth about Vatican control of the world is now readily apparent. Neptune in Pisces 2011-26 is as profoundly influential as is Pluto in Capricorn 2008-23. Neptune in Pisces inspires us to choose spirituality, and this sextile to the Sun in Taurus grounds us while we shun patriarchal religion.
The Moon in 24 Capricorn offers emotional support for tackling these difficult changes. The Moon squares Mercury in 27 Aries, which may trigger violence, yet it encourages us to face old conflicts. The Moon widely sextiles Venus conjunct Chiron, which means the healing goddess supports us totally. Once enough people see that many ancient beliefs are suicidal and murderous, societies will release them. Recall the American 1950s slogan, "I'd rather be dead than red." We can release deathly patterns with Venus in 17 Pisces closely conjunct Chiron in 16 Pisces to seek the goddess as healer. Also, Venus/Chiron sextiles Pluto quincunx Mars trine Jupiter; Venus/Chiron resonates with the potency of the grand square as if the healing goddess is playing a Stradivarius. The patriarchy stole her power by dividing East and West, but now the world needs her again.
Lastly, Saturn retrograde in 21 Scorpio sextiles the Moon in Capricorn and quincunxes Mercury, which forces us to process our feelings. Events in the Middle East and Eastern Europe will force people to choose survival when Earth changes and weather reflect human struggles. We are pushed to the wall by the irradiation of the earth, air, fire, and water by Fukushima and other leaking reactors. The sacredness of all life must be primary. Poisonous beliefs not only destroy nature, they also destroy our minds, the virtual end of our species.
This is not a pleasant reading of our current times, yet the creative potential is immense, so use it! We have arrived at the moment of the great test: Will we choose life or mindless death?

ESM Roster
New York Giants: 7 players the Giants need to part ways with in 2021
January 7, 2021 by Christopher Reiss
The New York Giants might have missed the playoffs, but that does not mean they lacked roster talent at several key positions.
The Giants needed a little help from the Eagles to sneak in, but of course, they did us dirty in their tank-job. Either way, the Giants should have controlled their own destiny and made the postseason on their own. This team is still ways away from competing for a Championship. The G-Men have some very difficult decisions this offseason about this roster. There are a few easy decisions that the Giants have to do to create more cap space to sign and re-sign some key players to this team.
Here are the seven players that the New York Giants need to part ways within 2021:
LB Kyler Fackrell
The New York Giants signed Kyler Fackrell to a one-year prove-it deal, worth around $4.6 million. Most of Fackrell's contract included guarantees, which were around $3.5 million.
The other thing Fackrell proved was he can not be a productive pass rusher this late in his career. He was a good rotational pass rusher for the Giants. Fackrell had 4.0 sacks, a forced fumble, and an interception which he returned for a touchdown against Dallas in 11 games.
The Giants are lacking a pass rush due to Lorenzo Carter and Oshane Ximines having season-ending injuries. They are also looking for a pass rusher either in free agency or in the draft.
RB Dion Lewis
The Giants signed Dion Lewis to a one-year deal worth $1.5 million. Obviously, they did not spend a lot of money on Lewis, but his performance tells the story of way.
Lewis has played 15 games for the G-Men, and the stats show for themselves why he should not be on this roster next season. Lewis only produced 108 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Lewis caught only 19 passes for 127 yards and a score.
Not only did Lewis struggle at running back for the Giants, but he also struggled to be the Giants' return specialist. Lewis fumbled three times on kickoff.
Based on the lack of production, the Giants have no reason to re-sign him back in 2021.
LT Nate Solder
Before we start to talk about why the Giants need to cut him in 2021, I just want to say this is nothing personal. I have a lot of respect for Solder for putting his family first over football and money. It takes a lot of pride!
The New York Giants signed Nate Solder to a four-year deal worth $62 million. Solder has a cap hit of $16.4 million, but if the Giants wait to cut him post-June 1, the Giants would free up $9.9 in cap. It would leave them with $6.5 million in dead money.
It's entirely possible that the 32-year tackle may just want to retire. If he does not, the Giants may have no other choice to cut him due to lack of production. Solder's performance has been disappointing since his signing in 2018, allowing 18 sacks and 89 pressures in just two seasons.
I hope the best for Solder in what he chooses, if it's to stay in the NFL or retire, but I do not see him in a Giants uniform in the 2021 season.
QB Colt McCoy
The Giants signed Colt McCoy to a one-year deal worth $2.25 million. McCoy deal is really friendly with the Giants, but with the injury history of Daniel Jones, the Giants need a more viable option at backup quarterback.
In the four games that McCoy appeared in, he has completed 60.6% of his passes for 375 yards and only one touchdown but one interception. The issue with having McCoy at backup is the Giants only scored a combined 13 points in his two starts.
With backup quarterbacks like Ryan Fitzpatrick, Andy Dalton, and Jameis Winston all becoming free agents this offseason, the Giants need to sign one of these guys that can come in and still compete.
RB Devonta Freeman
Big Blue signed Devonta Freeman in the middle of the season to fill in for Saquon Barkley when he went down with his ACL tear. Freeman signed a one-year, prove-it deal with the Giants only worth $1.35 million.
Freeman took some time to get up to speed but ultimately was very unproductive for the G-Men. Freeman logged 54 carries for 172 yards and only one touchdown. Freeman played in five games before going down with an injury and going on the injured reserve for the Giants.
Barkley should be ready for the 2021 season. With the lack of production during this season, there is no reason for the Giants to keep Freeman.
RT Cameron Fleming
The Giants signed Cameron Fleming to a one-year deal worth $3.5 million. Fleming, when signed, was not expected to be a starter, but when Solder opted out of this season, he was thrown right into the starting lineup at right tackle.
Fleming has struggled since Week 1 and has been rotating in and out with rookie tackle Matt Peart. Fleming has surrendered six sacks, four quarterback hits, and 35 pressures given up.
One of the biggest reasons why Fleming came to New York was because of Marc Colombo and Jason Garrett. When Colombo was fired about a month ago and Garrett now on the hot seat, it is really hard to see Fleming back in a Big Blue uniform in 2021.
WR Golden Tate
The New York Giants signed Golden Tate to a four-year deal worth $37.5 million in 2019. When this signing first happened, it seemed like the Giants did this to please the fans when they traded Odell Beckham Jr. shortly before.
The Giants could release Tate after the 2020 season and gain $6.1 million back on the cap. The Giants would have $4.7 million in dead money, but that will really open the receiver spot for the Giants to either sign or draft a weapon for Daniel Jones.
Tate is not the player he once was. He was been very injury prone over the last two seasons, had a disciplinary issue that made him get benched for a game in 2020, and suspended for PEDs in 2019. Even on the field, his production has been lacking. Tate, in the past, was a receiver that would get tons of separation and was deadly after the catch.
With Tate's lack of production for the last two seasons, I do not see Tate playing another in a G-Men uniform in 2021.

New York Giants: This Daniel Jones statistic needs to change soon
October 3, 2020 by Cay North
The New York Giants are relying a lot on Daniel Jones this season. Arguably, they're relying on him too much. Everyone expected Jones to be a big part of the passing game, but not many would believe it if you said Jones would also be the leading rusher on the Giants come week four. But going into a game with the Rams, that's the case. Jones is the leading rusher by a decent margin and the second place player, Saquon Barkley, is out for the season.
The Giants having rushing troubles in the first couple of weeks was somewhat understandable. The offensive line had changed and Barkley was injured early on. However, these troubles extending into the third loss of the season shows a bigger problem.
Poor performance for Giants running backs
The team just can't get anything going in the rushing game. Devonta Freeman, the veteran back brought in after Barkley's injury, only has 10 yards with the team so far. He was also limited in his role in his first game with the team, racking up only five rushes.
Freeman's role with the team should expand in week four, but increased touches won't mean much unless the offensive line gives openings and Freeman steps up and takes them. After all, Dion Lewis hasn't performed well so far despite having an entire offseason to learn Jason Garrett's system. Lewis has 12 attempts and one touchdown so far, but only 21 actual rushing yards.
The Giants will definitely have to rely on Daniel Jones to some degree on offense this year. But one area where they shouldn't rely on him is the passing game. The Giants have a tough enough matchup against the Rams even without their rushing struggles.
If Jones is once again the leading rusher for the Giants and not one of the running backs, don't expect the Giants to walk away with a win.

New York Giants: The two RBs backing up Devonta Freeman
September 24, 2020 by Cay North
The New York Giants responded to the Saquon Barkley injury by signing Devonta Freeman. The former Falcons running back looks to be their starter for the rest of the year as Barkley's ACL recovers. However, Freeman is one running back in a rotation of multiple. With the team's best player out, it's reasonable to assume the Giants will give more touches to their backup backs this year.
Who is manning those backup spots? Largely, that's one new signing and one player that's been with the Giants for the past three seasons.
Former Patriots and Titans running back Dion Lewis was signed during the offseason by the Giants. At the time, it appeared he was just a backup to Saquon Barkley. In this role, Lewis looked like a pretty good fit. After all, he had rushed for nearly 900 yards during his best season and while his performance fell off more recently, the Giants didn't need him for a large role.
But Lewis might be getting more touches than expected thanks to the team's current situation. This may be a chance for him to help revive his career. It's been trending backwards for the past couple of seasons, but we have yet to see much of Lewis as a Giant.
During the 2019 season he fell from 517 yards to 209 while competing with Derrick Henry. It's hard to tell just how much of that is because of Lewis himself, though. After all, Henry would be considered stiff competition to any back in the league.
In his two appearances for the Giants, Lewis has 11 rushes and 21 yards so far. Not the greatest numbers, but those may see a change. Lewis hardly would have expected to fill in for Saquon Barkley full time in week two against the Bears, but that's what ended up happening. Presumably, being more mentally in the game next time will prevent such bad numbers in yards per carry.
Wayne Gallman
The other main option behind Devonta Freeman is Wayne Gallman. Gallman actually predates Barkley but he's only shown flashes of potential, never starring for the Giants. Still, there's something impressive about his ability to avoid the cut. Even this season when the Giants brought in Lewis, Gallman was able to keep his job for another year.
With no Barkley in the picture and an unfamiliar free agent as the starter, Gallman may get a chance to touch the ball more – at least to trial his skills and see if he's worth putting in the rotation. He had 476 rushing yards in 2017 but was never able to repeat the performance as Barkley came in and took over the top spot.
The following seasons, Gallman had 176 and 110 yards. Not enough to stand out, but those numbers have been enough to allow him to keep his job. Gallman only has one carry this season so far, in the opener. That was a 14 yard run, but peculiarly, he received no carries against Chicago even after Barkley was hurt.
Don't expect Gallman to become the main option – but this season may just be a chance for him to justify his continued presence as a backup.

Joe Judge Settling in to Life Without Saquon Barkley
September 24, 2020 by John Fennelly
The New York Giants lost star running back Saquon Barkley to a torn ACL for the season last Sunday in Chicago and now face the prospect of a running back-by-committee approach.
Then again, whoever holds the hot hand could end up getting the reps.
"He may be the guy for that moment," head coach Joe Judge told reporters about the hot hand on Thursday. "Maybe he's the guy for that game plan the way things are working and clicking. But I'd say within every specific game plan, we're going to always look to use all of the players we have at the game, and make sure we have enough combinations to go ahead and create advantages for ourselves."
Right now, the Giants have three players that will be vying for reps at running back – Dion Lewis, Wayne Gallman and the newly signed Devonta Freeman.
"I think you just use whatever you have on your roster, whether it's a guy like Saquon, we still have Dion Lewis who we rely heavily on, and Wayne Gallman who we rely heavily on," said Judge. "Obviously, Saquon's situation, we all feel for him. He's going to work his butt off to get back here as fast as possible.
We're happy to have Devonta. The thing I see with him is he's a ball guy. You can tell this guy has a lot of passion for the game, he has a lot of experience, he plays hard, he practices hard. I was very impressed yesterday out at practice with the fire he practiced with, the attention to detail, how fast he picked up on a lot of our system. He's an experienced guy, but sometimes experience in other systems doesn't always translate over to knowing the alphabet of what you're doing. But he really did a good job of understanding what we're doing in practice, being able to get in the huddle, break the huddle, know what to do and do it very effectively. It was very encouraging on day one."
Time will tell how this all pans out but one thing is for sure, all three can play and all three are currently healthy.

New York Giants Fear Saquon Barkley Knee Injury Is ACL Tear
An ACL tear is possible to recover from, but it's also one of the most feared injuries in sports. Positions such as running back, wide receiver, and linebacker are extra liable to get that injury thanks to their constant movement and the stress put on their knees. And according to Adam Schefter, the Giants fear that Saquon Barkley tore his ACL on Sunday.
Giants fear RB Saquon Barkley suffered a torn ACL today, sources tell me and @JordanRaanan. One source said the torn ACL was "certainly within the realm" but there will be more tests Monday to make a full and complete determination.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 20, 2020
The verdict isn't in yet about the injury but it doesn't look good. Until there's further tests, we won't have a full picture of the situation. But an ACL tear isn't out of the realm of possibility, according to the report. If that is the case, Barkley will be out for the rest of the season.
How an ACL tear may affect Barkley
The surgery required to fix an ACL tear involves replacing the ACL with a graft taken from a different source. The athlete must then regain their full range of motion through rehab. The recovery timeline usually has at least six months between the surgery and getting back to practice.
That's not to say that everything is gloom and doom. A lot of players have bounced back from the injury. That includes Tom Brady, Teddy Bridgewater, and even Giants pass rusher Markus Golden. There's no doubt we'll see Barkley on the field again, and he'll probably still be just as threatening of a running back to opposing defenses.
However, it may change what the Giants and other teams think about Barkley's longevity. The Giants are midway through Barkley's contract, and whether or not the team gives him a huge extension may depend on how long they think he'll last in the league – and that's impacted by health.
Other options for the Giants
Right now, the Giants only have limited alternative options at running back. Luckily, they brought in Dion Lewis during the offseason to back Barkley up. Having a true backup for Barkley looks like a smart decision now, but Lewis only registered 20 rushing yards in 10 attempts during the Bears game.
It doesn't look like Dion Lewis is the main man for the Giants during the 2020 season. 28 year old former Falcons back Devonta Freeman is set to visit the Eagles, but after the injury to Barkley, the Giants may want to consider him as an option if they can reach a deal.
There's not so many other options that can walk in and become the number one running back, so if the Giants can afford the cap space, they may want to make a deal. Otherwise, we may be looking at a season where the running back position is played by committee.

Lewis, Gallman Ready to Step Up After Barkley Injury
The New York Giants are likely to be without star running back for the reminder of the season. Especially if the reports about his injury are correct. A torn ACL wold require surgery and extensive rehab.
Head coach Joe Judge would not speak to the extent of the injury after the Giants 17-13 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
"I don't have a diagnosis on his knee," Judge told reporters. "He's going to see some doctors tomorrow. We'll wait and see what that is. Obviously we're all praying for the best. I would just say this, regardless of whatever the outcome is going to be and what the doctors say tomorrow. I wouldn't fall asleep on 26, it's going to be a hell of a story either way."
The Giants have just three healthy running backs on the active roster: Dion Lewis, Wayne Gallman and fullback Eli Penny. They also have Rod Smith on the practice squad, but they will be in the market for running back depth come Monday when they get the diagnosis on Barkley's knee.
Until then, the Giants will have to go with that trio. Gallman was not active on Sunday (a healthy scratch) but those days are over now. Lewis got the call after Barkley went down, gaining just 20 yards on ten carries but did score the Giants' only touchdown on the afternoon. He also caught four passes for 36 yards. Lewis was asked if he was prepared for the heavy workload on Sunday.
"Gotta stay ready," he said. "I prepare every week, all week, like I'm going to be in there every play because you never know what's going to happen. So, I always stay prepared and, unfortunately, I had to go out there a little more than I normally would have to, but I was ready."
Asked if he spoke to Barkley, Lewis said that he did.
"Yeah, I spoke with him," said Lewis. "I just told him to keep his head up, stay positive, believe in God. Nobody knows what's really going on right now, so just try to keep his head up. He's a great kid, and we've grown extremely close since I've been here, so you know, definitely feel for him."
Looking towards the future, Lewis forecasted what the running backs plan on handling the loss of Barkley.
"It's going to take all of us. We got Wayne, myself, we all gotta step up. Obviously, you know, Saquon is one of the best running backs in this league, so nobody's going to be able to do what he does, what he's done. We gotta do what we can do, be ourselves, and do whatever the coaches ask us to do and work hard every day.
I mean, he's Saquon Barkley, so you lose a guy like that, it's a huge loss. But you know, as a team, everybody's gotta step up. Receivers gotta step up, O-line's gotta step up, running backs have gotta step up, quarterback's gotta step up, defense has gotta step up, everybody has gotta step up. It's not going to be one person who steps up to make up for what he's done, it's going to take all of us."
That may not be enough. The Giants may have to explore a trade if they can't find any options on the waiver wire.

New York Giants: Positions To Keep An Eye On With Cuts Around The Corner
August 29, 2020 by Anthony Rivardo
The New York Giants will set their fifty-three man roster in a week from today. Over this next week, the team will be determining who will stay and who will go. The Giants do have a few positions of need, and they also have few positions of strength. Ahead of camp cuts, which positions are worth keeping a close eye on?
UDFA Wide Receivers
Behind Darius Slayton, Sterling Shepard, and Golden Tate, the Giants have a positional battle at the wide receiver position. Corey Coleman will be competing with a number of rookie wide receivers to win the fourth wide receiver position.
New York has four undrafted free agent wide receivers currently on the roster. Derrick Dillon, Binjimen Victor, Austin Mack, and Cody White were all signed by the Giants this offseason. They have all had their fair share of ups and downs in camp, but Victor and Mack have had a few more standout plays.
There are also two other receivers making their names known in camp: David Stills and Alex Bachman. Both players have impressed in practice and could earn themselves a spot on the final roster. For all of these wide receivers, this next week of practice is crucial.

New York Giants: What To Expect From The Backup Running Backs?
July 25, 2020 by Anthony Rivardo
The New York Giants are a struggling and rebuilding team that lacks star talent. Except for the running back position. The Giants have one of the best running backs in the NFL in Saquon Barkley. Some may argue that he is the best running back in the NFL. But last season, Barkley was injured and sidelined for three games.
The Giants struggled to run the ball without Barkley in the lineup. They even struggled to run the ball upon his return to the lineup. Barkley returned extraordinarily fast from his high ankle sprain and played through the "nagging" ankle injury the rest of the season.
If Saquon Barkley were to go down again, are the Giants prepared? Even if he is healthy, is there a competent backup running back on this roster to play in relief of a fatigued Saquon Barkley?
Be sure to check out this video below for a better understanding of why Saquon Barkley struggled in 2019:
This offseason, the Giants signed former Patriots and Titans running back Dion Lewis as a backup running back. Dion Lewis had his best season in 2017 with the Patriots, rushing for 896 yards and receiving for 214 yards to go along with 9 total touchdowns. Lewis has been a reliable receiver out of the backfield throughout his career and was a fine complement to Derrick Henry's hard-nosed running style in Tennessee.
Lewis is the oldest running back on the roster and likely the best in pass protection. Barkley has struggled in that department through his first two professional seasons. Dion Lewis could help improve the Giants' pass protection in 2020.

New York Giants: 3 Players Who Could Surprise in 2020
July 25, 2020 by Brandon Schnapp
Every year there are always 1-3 players that surprise fans and go on to have a career year. This new New York Giants team is as young and exciting as it's ever been.
Here are three New York Giants players who could surprise in 2020:
Dion Lewis had a decent year in 2019, backing up the beast Derrick Henry. Lewis recorded 209 rushing yards on 54 carries and had 164 receiving yards on 25 catches. You may sit there and say, "well, we have Saquon Barkley, and he's better than Derrick Henry, so how would Lewis have a surprising year?."
In comes newly acquired offensive coordinator Jason Garrett; Jason Garrett loves using his running backs. Ezekiel Elliott has run the ball over 300 times, three times in his 4-year career. I can easily see Dion Lewis commanding 90-100 carries with the New York Giants, and be more of a threat in the passing offense. Lewis is a shifty Darren Sproles type player, Garrett will make sure to use Lewis to his full potential. I predict that Lewis will have 402 yards on 88 carries for three rushing touchdowns, and have 34 catches for 210 yards and 1 receiving touchdown.
Julian Love
Julian Love had a very confusing year last year. Love was told he would be the starting Nickel cornerback when he was drafted. Then he got moved to safety, then back to cornerback, finally, Love was moved back to safety. Even with all of this controversy, Love still recorded 37 tackles, five tackles for loss, three passes defended one interception, and one forced fumble.
Love only started in 5 games last year. Imagine if he had a full season. Assuming there are no positional controversies, Julian Love is set to play as a third-safety in Patrick Graham's defensive scheme. Adding Xavier McKinney will bring changes to the secondary, but Love is a valuable piece on defense who can supplement injuries at multiple positions. I predict that Love will have 79 tackles, eight tackles for loss, six passes defended, two forced fumbles, and two interceptions.
Ryan Connelly
Ryan Connelly was definitely one of the few bright spots in a very dark year for the Giants. Connelly was one of my favorite players last year. It's sad that Giants fans only got to see him start three games before tearing his ACL against the Washington Football team. In only three games, Connelly recorded 20 tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack, two passes defended, and two interceptions.
If Connelly stays healthy, and he starts all 16 games, Giants fans may very well be seeing the next phenom for the Big Blue Wrecking Crew. Also, with the addition of Blake Martinez, Ryan Connelly is primed to find his groove once more. I predict Connelly will record 90 tackles, five tackles for loss, six sacks, two passes defended, one forced fumble, and three interceptions.
There is so much untapped talent on this new New York Giants team; I could probably list 10-15 players who could break out this year. Giants fans should be very excited to see all these young players in action.

New York Giants: Why Dion Lewis is an upgrade over Wayne Gallman
July 1, 2020 by Jack Quartararo
The New York Giants' front office made big moves this offseason to improve both the offense and defense. During free agency, the Giants' signed veteran running back, Dion Lewis to a one year deal which is worth 1.5 million. The Giants needed a running back who is reliable and can give Saquon Barkley well-deserved rest. Luckily, the Giants found the perfect guy, no disrespect to Wayne Gallman, but he is just not the answer.
Wayne Gallman's 2019 stats
In 2019, Wayne Gallman started in two games after Saquon went down with a high ankle sprain. Throughout the season, there was not much to cheer about, Gallman had 110 rushing yard and only two touchdowns. Even when Barkley was healthy, Gallman would only average 11 rushing yards a game. As you can see, Gallman was never a go-to option like Saquon is, Daniel Jones had to rely on throwing the ball often. This was no easy task for Jones, Saquon was out for three weeks after his first start and Gallman never was. Overall, Gallman had one standout game in the absence of Barkley. In my mind, Gallman is a backup NFL running back. He's better off on another team that needs a backup because Dion Lewis is going to take all his touches.
Dion Lewis' 2019 stats
Dion Lewis played a much smaller role in 2019, he was backing up star running back, Derrick Henry in Tennessee. In 2019, Dion lewis only started in one game and ran the ball 54 times for 209 yards. This is not the Dion Lewis most people are used to seeing, but he still is an upgrade over Wayne Gallman for multiple reasons.
Effective in the passing game
Back in New England, Dion Lewis was used in the short passing game. A lot of screen passes were used along with some out routes that fit lewis' playstyle well. I can see Dion Lewis helping the Giants with his versatility, I see Jason Garrett calling a lot of screen passes, and bubble screens. With an upgraded offensive line, the Giants offense will have more time to set up screen passes and routes designed for Lewis. This signing of Lewis was huge, the Giants haven't had a solid running back duo since Jacobs and Bradshaw.
Will give Barkley well needed rest
All Giants' fans know that Saquon is the star running back, but it will be nice having Lewis as a backup. A guy who is effective in both ground and passing game will allow Saquon to be at his best late in games. Last season, Barkley played on every offensive down basically. If the Giants want him to last seven-plus years, they need to start protecting him. Finally, Dion Lewis will be a huge factor for the Giants in 2020.

A very fresh nose, with nice notes of cut grass, hints of spices (pepper) and a delicate fruity smell (a mix of green apple and ripe pear) which gives this whisky an interesting complexity and announces lots of pleasure in the palate. The first palate impression is that it is rather acid and the alcohol is very present. The taste developes gently on more woody hints, while remaining amazingly fresh. The fresh and lingering finish consists of a nice mix of citrus fruits and fine woody notes, with clear alcohol remains after a while.
The nose detects nice fresh floral hints. In the palate, a very nice complexity, where woody notes (unlike the firs notes) are mixed with fruity and malty hints. A very nice balance and a finish developing from malt to walnut (probably due to the wood) or even chocolate.
The nose is quite marked by cereals with some yeast hints. Nice notes of vanilla come and brighten up this relatively smooth though rather austere nose.
The palate is some more interesting, though presenting a lack of complexity. Nice cereal notes with some hints of citrus fruit and a touch of smoke.
The finish is not too long but however rather pleasant and prolongs perfectly the mouth. This blind tasting notes are quite contrasting with others written earlier. Is this an effect of oxidation? This whisky certainly deserves another tasting.
A relatively spicy nose, with nice notes of dried grass and distant smell of fruit. This nose announces a whisky particularly well balanced. After a few minutes, the fruity notes are more obvious. A nose that evolves particularly well over time. And now there are hints of wax.
The palate is surprisingly fresh. Notes of milk chocolate first, and then a controlled evolution to dried fruit. The mouth is an example of balance and roundness. No aggressiveness, just happiness.
The finish is long and in the same spirit as the mouth.

AERY Cooperate with Students
In the summer of 2016 during the period of Comics & Animation Festival, I came across AERY, a brand that produces graphic tablets.
Later on, I collaborated with AERY in producing SAI instructional videos, which has accumulated 180 thousand clicks so far.
In 2018, my work was selected for the cover of "PF8616 packing box".
It was just fantastic to see my own illustrated work being transformed into a packing box on the shelf, which makes me felt more confident about developing and advancing my own interests.
I am serializing shoujo manga in a publishing company now. AERY has also upgraded its pressure-sensitive eraser pen, with linear and pressure sensitivity greatly promoted.

Supertramp Crisis What Crisis Product Type Compact Disc Remastered
May 13, 2012 12:00 AM M Fund
Track Title. 1 Easy Does It. 2 Sister Moonshine. 3 Ain't Nobody But Me. 4 A Soapbox Opera. 5 Another Man's Woman. 6 Lady. 7 Poor Boy. 8 Just A Normal Day. 9 The Meaning. 10 Two Of Us. Nestled between the accomplished Crime of the Century album and 1977's Even in the Quietest Moments, Crisis? What Crisis? may not have given the band any chart success, but it did help them capture a fan base that had no concern for Supertramp's commercial sound. With Rick Davies showing off his talent on the keyboards, and Roger Hodgson's vocals soaring on almost every track, they managed to win back their earlier progressive audience while gaining new fans at the same time. Crisis received extensive air play on FM stations, especially in Britain, and the album made it into the Top 20 there and fell just outside the Top 40 in the US "Ain't Nobody But Me," "Easy Does It," and the beautiful "Sister Moonshine" highlight Supertramp's buoyant and brisk instrumental and vocal alliance, while John Helliwell's saxophone gives the album even greater width. The songwriting is sharp, attentive, and passionate, and the lyrics showcase Supertramp's ease at invoking emotion into their music, which would be taken to even greater heights in albums to come. Even simple tracks like "Lady" and "Just a Normal Day" blend in nicely with the album's warm personality and charmingly subtle mood. Although the tracks aren't overly contagious or hook laden, there's still a work-in-process type of appeal spread through the cuts, which do grow on you over time. ~ Mike DeGagne, All Music Guide.

Q: Inequality in Coddington: Uniqueness of solutions In Coddington's (and Levinson's) "Theory of Ordinary Differential Equations" and after proving existence of solutions for the initial value problem $f(t,y)=y'$, $y(\tau)=\xi$, he states and proves the following:

Now, is there any reason to take the interval (a,b) open? Doesn't the same proof work for a closed interval? Furthermore, if considering a closed interval [a,b], could $\tau = a$ or $\tau=b$?
I ask this because he always proves that solutions exist in closed intervals, and afterwards uses Theorem 2.1 as the cornerstone of the proof of uniqueness in closed intervals, in particular Theorem 2.3:

And theorem 2.1 in the book would only work for an open interval $(a,b)$, not for $[\tau-\alpha,\tau+\alpha]$. Or is there something I'm missing here?

I believe everything wrote made a ton of sense. However, what about this? what if you added a little information? I ain't saying your content isn't solid., however suppose you added something that makes people want more? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little plain. You might glance at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create article headlines to get people to open the links. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to get people interested about what you've got to say. In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
I read this piece of writing fully about the resemblance of most recent and preceding technologies, it's amazing article.
In fact when someone doesn't be aware of after that its up to other viewers that they will assist, so here it occurs.

Drug Wheel
Last published: June 26, 2019
What is Kava?
Kava is a depressant drug, which means it slows down the messages travelling between the brain and the body. Kava is made from the root or stump of the kava (Piper methysticum) shrub.1
Kava comes in different forms including:
brownish-coloured drink
brown powder
drops.2
Kava kava, kawa, waka, lewena, yaqona, grog (Fiji), sakau (Pohnpei), 'awa (Hawaii), 'ava (Samoa) and wati (New Guinea).3
Other types of commonly used depressants
Read more about importation of kava
Traditionally, Pacific Islanders crushed, chewed and ground the root and stump of the shrub, then soaked it in cold water to produce a drink for ceremonies and cultural practices. These rituals were said to strengthen ties among groups, reaffirm status and help people communicate with spirits.1
Many Pacific Islanders who have settled in Australia have continued drinking kava or using kava extracts.5
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
Kava was introduced to the communities in the north of Australia in the 1980s as a substitute for alcohol, to reduce alcohol-related harms in the community. The kava drink is often used for sedative, hypnotic and muscle-relaxant effects, in much the same way that alcohol is used.1
Herbal preparations
Kava extract is used in some herbal preparations. They are sold as over-the-counter tablets and preparations to be used in the treatment of insomnia, stress and anxiety.4
Effects of kava
There is no safe level of drug use. Use of any drug always carries some risk. Even medications can produce unwanted side effects. It's important to be careful when taking any type of drug.
Kava affects everyone differently, based on:
size, weight and health
whether the person is used to taking it
whether other drugs are taken around the same time
the amount taken
the strength of the drug.
The following effects may be experienced:
feeling happy and relaxed
mild sleepiness
numb mouth and throat
reduced or loss of appetite.6
If a large amount of kava is taken the following effects may also be experienced:
loss of muscle control
mild fever
pupil dilation and red eyes.6
Long-term effects
Regular use of large amounts of kava may eventually cause:
dry, scaly skin
malnutrition and severe weight loss
getting infections more easily
shortness of breath.
Manufactured products such as herbal remedies that contain kava extract have been linked to irreversible liver damage. Kava has been shown to cause liver damage when taken in an alcoholic or acetonic extract. For this reason water based extracts of Kava ( as a drink or tablet) should not be consumed with alcohol, especially if there is a history of liver damage or disease.6,7
Using kava with other drugs
Kava changes the way that the liver processes some types of medications and drugs, therefore you should consult with your healthcare provider before taking Kava.6
Kava + alcohol: increased drowsiness, impaired reflexes and risk of liver damage.
Kava + benzodiazepines: sedation.3
Kava in Australia
The import, advertising and sale of kava in Australia are strictly controlled. Kava is listed as a controlled substance under the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations Act.
Commercial importations of kava are no longer allowed, except for medical or scientific purposes.
Passengers coming into Australia, who are over the age of 18 years, are allowed to bring 2kg of kava without a license or permit, provided it is in their accompanied baggage.7
There is no evidence that people who regularly use kava become dependent on the drug, so if you stop taking it, you are unlikely to experience withdrawal symptoms. However, if you have health problems seek medical advice.6
If your use of Kava is affecting your health, family, relationships, work, school, financial or other life situations, you should seek help and support.

They are going to perform "The General" (Buster Keaton) as well as the short film at Ruby Hall on the afternoon of Sunday, July 1 This is a matinee performance and would be the final of 3 gigs in the area that would take place over the weekend and would love to see you attend.
We also have a couple of 'old timer' bands that are keen to come to South Gippsland later in the year. They are the Gob-Iron String Band (https://www.facebook.com/The-Gob-Iron-String-Band-989792297766818/) and Cat and Clint (http://catandclint.com/) They are proposing to play together at Ruby Hall on the night of Friday October the 5th.

Ideal as a base when setting up your pool on almost any surface from decking and concrete to grass and gravel, these floor protectors are very easy to slot together and simply place on the spot that you plan to set up, for your pool to sit on.
The sheets have been designed to lock together like jigsaw pieces, making them simple to put together and expandable to your requirements. One of the benefits of the soft padded foam floor protectors is that they not only offer additional to the base of your pool, but also provide extra insulation to help save more on the cost of heating your pool.


This week we'll go into a Dell computer factory. You might want to savor the moment… you've read here and elsewhere that Dell has decided to outsource manufacturing… once its core competency.
Much more automation here than at Toyota or TOTO. I also noticed that unlike Toyota's philosophy of plants having individual improvement plans, Dell was proud of their global process standardization.
Unfortunately Dells made-to-order strategy results in delivery times of 5-10 workdays, while I can get – for example – standard Lenovo laptops next day. And several times they have had supply difficulties with popular product lines, resulting in even longer delivery times. An advantage of Dell is that it is easy to order laptops with foreign keyboards.

One PAIR of GoWesty-designed dual-rate FRONT coil springs for your 4WD (Syncro) Vanagon.
2" LIFT: These springs will provide roughly a 2" suspension lift for all 1986-91 Vanagon 4WD (Syncro) Westfalia campers. If you have the much lighter hard-top Vanagon (or single/double cab truck), these springs will provide too much lift for your suspension geometry. Don't say we didn't warn you! If you have an engine conversion that has a different weight or weight distribution—something other than the Vanagon water-boxer engine—your Vanagon may not sit level. These springs are NOT designed to compensate for Vanagons with engine conversions. If you need additional leveling, we offer spring pads (see the related items section below). DO NOT USE 2" FRONT SPRINGS WITH FOX SHOCKS.
INSTALLATION NOTES: Does not require special tools to install. However, the installation of these springs is very difficult, even with a car hoist and all the correct tools. and requires a 4-wheel alignment after installation. GoWesty recommends that a professional shop with alignment tools install these springs.DO NOT USE 2" FRONT SPRINGS WITH FOX SHOCKS.

Rhodri Lewis Responds
10/18/2018--Rhodri Lewis, Professor of English at Princeton and author of Hamlet and the Vision of Darkness, responded to my blog post here last Friday. Since I did not obtain his permission, I will only set forth a paragraph from the book that he sent me in arguing that the book does not associate Shakespeare with an entirely nihilistic view. Shakespeare wrote Hamlet as an exercise in truth-telling, an actual way out of the collapse of classical humanism.
It might be objected that I am describing Hamlet as a work of nihilism, in which nothing signifies "but as 'tis valued". Not so. Rather, this book has endeavoured to demonstrate the extraordinary pains that Shakespeare took to represent the cultural world of humanism as fundamentally indifferent to things as they really are, and as one in which the pursuit of truth is therefore all but an impossibility. All but: taken in new directions that Hamlet lays out for it, dramatic poetry might be able to offer a likeness of this cultural world in all of its self-deceit, illusion, and pretence. Humanist models of history, of poetry, and of philosophy cannot "show ... the very age and body of the time his form and pressure" (3.2.24-25), and are in large measure a part of the problem. By insisting on their own sufficiency, they impede the proper comprehension of the human lot. But precisely because Hamlet is a post-humanist work of tragedy (one might call it anti-humanist but for the fact that the fabric from which it is assembled is so consistently that of sixteenth-century convention), it is not bound by the sort of strictures that Shakespeare brings to bear on superficially imitative neo-classicism. In place of preordained moral reflections that show the world as the playwright and his authorities think it should be, Hamlet – as most clearly articulated in chapter 5 above – provides its readerly and theatrical audiences with the prompt to examine themselves, their presuppositions, and their beliefs about the status of humankind within the moral and physical universes. The audacity of Hamlet is to demonstrate by example, rather than theoretical disquisition, that in the humanistic world of which Shakespeare and his work were a part, dramatic poetry – not history, not philosophy, and certainly not theology – is the medium best fitted to telling the truth. Best fitted to revealing that in its attachment to various forms of theatrum mundi, humankind not only propagates its own ignorance and self-alienation, but ensures that it will remain unable to devise a better way in which to live. Kings, their challengers, and their impetuous heirs will come and go, but the nature of the masquerade will continue unchanged. Only by dramatizing this most self-reflexive of truths alongside the evasions and authority with which it ordinarily eludes scrutiny can fulfilment or progress become a possibility. What that progress might look like, Shakespeare does not say; nor will he do so in Othello, Macbeth, and King Lear. Instead, and to borrow a phrase from Lafew in All's Well, his tragedies enjoin their audiences to "submit" themselves to "an unknown fear" – one that the canons of neither ancient nor modern wisdom can help them to allay.

ALTANA growth momentum
Sales up 9%, EBITDA 1.16 billion Euros
The specialty chemicals group ALTANA recorded a pleasing increase in both sales and earnings in the first half of the 2017 fiscal year. Compared to the corresponding period in the previous year, sales saw a significant rise of 9% to €1,160 million. Adjusted for acquisition and divestment as well as exchange-rate effects, sales grew by 6%.
At €262 million, ALTANA's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) improved by around 5%. At 22.6%, the EBITDA margin was slightly lower than the previous year's figure (23.4 percent).
Martin Babilas, chief executive officer of ALTANA said, "The ALTANA Group's growth momentum in the first of half of 2017 was significantly stronger than in the first six months of the previous year. The key driver is the high demand for our innovative products. Furthermore, the acquisitions that were carried out in the past months and strengthen our divisions also contributed to this growth. Our innovative ability coupled with our acquisition strategy and, not least, our financial strength, constitute a solid foundation for further sustainable and profitable growth."
ALTANA confirms its forecast for the full-year 2017, still anticipating operating sales growth of 2-5% with slightly lower earnings profitability. While the recent acquisitions are expected to provide additional momentum for nominal growth, it remains difficult to predict the effects resulting from rather volatile exchange rate developments.
BYK, ECKART, and ELANTAS on an expansion course
With growth rates of between 5% and 15%, the BYK Additives & Instruments, ECKART Effect Pigments, and ELANTAS Electrical Insulation divisions were clearly on an expansion course in the first half of 2017. The strongest growth was achieved by BYK, with an increase in sales of 15% in nominal terms to €540 million. The division's growth was considerably accelerated by the acquisitions of Addcomp in July 2016 and PolyAd Services in March 2017. BYK's operating sales growth, i.e. sales growth adjusted for acquisition and divestment as well as exchange-rate effects, was at 9%. ECKART posted growth of 11% to €200 million. At 10%, the division's operating growth was slightly lower. Both divisions benefited, in particular, from the strong demand from the Chinese market.
The ELANTAS Electrical Insulation division, too, benefited from the high demand from China and, in addition, from positive demand in Europe. Due to the higher volume, the division's sales rose to €244 million, which represents a nominal increase of 5% on the previous year's figure. Operating sales grew by 3%.
Sales in the ACTEGA Coatings & Sealants division in the first six months of 2017 amounted to €176 million, 3% down on the previous year's figure. Adjusted for the impact of the sale of ACTEGA Colorchemie GmbH and its subsidiaries, ACTEGA's sales were on a par with the previous year's level.
Fastest pace of growth posted in Asia
The ALTANA Group generated its strongest sales growth in Asia, where sales rose by 15% to €372 million. In China, sales grew by as much as 23% to €198 million. Sales in the Americas increased by 10% to €325 million. In the US, sales were up by 13% to €229 million, mainly attributable to the acquisitions that were made in this region. Sales in Europe rose by 4%.
The ALTANA Group's sales distribution according to regions continues to be balanced, with Europe accounting for 38% of total sales, Asia for 32%, and the Americas for 28%. At the end of the first half of 2017, the group employed 6,139 people. As of 30 June 2016, the number of employees was 5,896.

City Council minutes 4/10/2011
Home/Minutes, Uncategorized/City Council minutes 4/10/2011
The Regular Meeting of the Council of the City of Belpre, Ohio was called to order by Council President Mr. Neff at 7:30 p.m. with Mr. Neff welcoming everyone to this evening's meeting. The roll was called with the following members present: Ms. Abdella, Mr. Baker, Mrs. Marshall, Mr. Martin, Mr. Robinson and Mr. Sinnett present. Also present were Mayor Lorentz, Safety-Service Director Mr. Ferguson, City Auditor Miss Pittenger, City Law Director Mr. Webster, and Treasurer Mr. McAfee. Absent from the meeting was Council person Mrs. Boso.
Mrs. Marshall made a motion to accept the minutes of March 28, 2011 as presented and by-pass the reading. A vote was taken with all members of council present voting aye.
Mayor Lorentz reported that since we last met I did get the CDBG Grant turned in to the Commissioners. Funding may be cut somewhat this next round so I continued to pursue better sidewalks in our busier areas.
ODOT announced on Thursday April 7th that we were successful in obtaining $280,000 for our Safe Routes to Schools Grant.
Thanks to the people at ODOD we were granted an extension for the appropriations to the Riverfront project. Everything is on hold due to budget issues both state and federal. We need to make a draw on this by July 2012.
On the 30th I met with the CEO of Middleton Doll to discuss the sale of this property. It is my opinion that they will be very aggressive in finding a buyer and in turn this will create jobs for our citizens.
April 6th, I attended the utility committee for gas aggregation at the city building. Mr. Robinson, Mr. Ferguson and I were the only attendees.
April 8th, the City of Parkersburg invited me and the two chiefs to test their new driving simulator. If this had been any more life like we would owe them for two Chevy Tahoe's.
April 9th, I participated in the 2nd annual Easter Parade in Parkersburg. Kiki Angelos does a wonderful job organizing this event.
My campaign to clean-up the city as well as move some properties has gained some support. Over the past couple weeks I have had a scout troop ask to adopt the Howe's Grove Park. Another group is excited to make repairs and improvements to our schools and yet another is interested in holding an old fashioned 4th of July Celebration in our park to gain some level of excitement. Set up for service groups would be free as well as businesses that would want a booth. Our churches and local singing groups will offer entertainment for the day.
The Belpre Tree Commission is sponsoring a work day to clean up in the parks and the gateway project on the west end. We welcome all the help you can provide this Friday April 15th. We will start at 9:00 on the west end just across from the Church of Christ, and then move to Civitan Park to trim trees etc.
Please let the residents in your wards know that there is no burning allowed within the city limits of Belpre. This is not all our making, the Ohio EPA bans all burning within municipalities throughout the state. Please go online and look at Ohio Burning Laws. You will find it pretty self explanatory. Information is available at your desk and extra copies on the back table.
Mr. President I would like to swear in a new volunteer for our Fire Department EMT ranks at this time however the volunteer is not in attendance and I will need to do it at another time.
Safety-Service Director Mr. Ferguson announced that he had sent everyone on council an email regarding the purchase of a Massey Ferguson 1020 tractor. The cost of the tractor is $6,500. We now have a wheel horse that was handed down from the Street Department to the Parks Department after it was dropped off the back of a truck. I would certainly appreciate the support of council to purchase.
The boat docks will be installed this week in preparation for the Bass Tournament.
We recently had three officers nab a person coming out of an establishment. This is just another situation that our officers were at the right place at the right time.
City Auditor Miss Pittenger reported that before you tonight everyone should have the first quarter report of our operating funds through 03/31/2011. The total amount of tax collected for 2011 is $276,782.43. We also have a break down of 2011 Expenses vs. Revenue for the first quarter. Each member of council should have received an Adjustment Report for utilities for council approval. At this time, Mr. Robinson made a motion to accept the Utilities Adjustment Report for the Month of March. A vote was taken with all members of council present voting aye.
City Law Director Mr. Webster had no report. Mr. Webster did state that the Mayor's Court time is expanding.
Treasurer Mr. McAfee had no report for the Treasurer's Office. Mr. McAfee stated that the Belpre Alumni Association now had a new website. Mr. McAfee also congratulated Mr. Webster for being the Chairman of the Sr. Levy.
Mr. Neff announced that on your desk tonight is an article regarding exterior maintenance improvements that could involve new paint, signage, awnings, and/or physical improvements providing for the continuing stability and safe utilization of properties by patrons. More than 50 commercial properties could be eligible for grants if the Finance Committee and City Council give the go ahead signal.
Also on Saturday, April 30th, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., there will me a Medication Disposal Event held at the Belpre Senior Center. Anyone having old medication around the home can dispose of your unwanted, unused or expired medications.
Mr. Neff stated that there is a list of payouts for March 2011 for all of council to see. This is for Mayor's Court.
Mr. Neff stated that he received a letter from Auditor of State in regards to Cost Indexing.
Mr. Baker, Police and Fire Committee had no report for his committee. Mr. Baker was in support of the purchase of a tractor. He suggested that council recess to take a look at the tractor. There was discussion on the purchase of the tractor and how to purchase it.
Mr. Robinson reported that the Utilities Committee met April 6th, 2011 for the purpose of discussing Gas and Electric Aggregation. Mr. Robinson stated that it seems to be a good asset for the Citizens of Belpre. This will have to be voted on in November. I think we need to have a Town Meeting prior to placing it on the ballot.
Mr. Martin, Parks and Recreation Committee had no report.
Mr. Robinson brought before council for third reading AN ORDINANCE REGARDING THE DEPOSIT OF RECEIPTS OF SANITATION REVENUE. A vote was taken with all members of council present voting aye.
Mr. Sinnett brought before council for third reading AN ORDINANCE REGARDING NOXIOUS WEEDS, GRASS OR OTHER VEGETATION ON PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN CITY LIMITS. A vote was taken with all members of council present voting aye.
Mr. Sinnett brought before council for third reading AN ORDINANCE REGARDING REMOVAL OF LITTER FROM PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN CITY LIMITS. A vote was taken with all members of council present voting aye.
Mr. Sinnett brought before council for second reading AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING OPEN BURNING REGULATIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF BELPRE, OHIO. Mr. Sinnett stated that he would like to change the wording to include the Safety-Service Director. After discussion it was decided that it could not be changed. A vote was taken with all members of council present voting aye. This will lie over until the next meeting of council.
Mr. Baker brought before council for second reading A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND THE CHIEF OF POLICE TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY FOR THE CARE AND SUSTENANCE OF PRISONERS. A vote was taken with all members of council present voting aye. This will lie over until the next meeting of council.
There was a picture of the Massey Ferguson tractor being circulated to members of council. Mr. Neff called for a five minute recess.
Crystal Dillon, Florence Street, Belpre appeared before council regarding the remaining debris that was located on the property where her home was destroyed by fire and is under investigation. According the Ms. Dillon she was contacted about the debris flying off into neighboring yards. Mr. Ferguson had pictures of the debris. Mr. James Jackson stated that the debris would be cleaned up.
Mr. Neff reminded council that the Financial Disclosure forms would be due before we meet again.
Mrs. Locke, 726 Tuttle Street, announced that racing would begin at 4:00 on Saturday at Civitan Park. She invited everyone to come out and join in the fun.
