Burren flowers inspire brilliant designs
November 30, 2021	1,233 Views
AN Ennistymon-based jewellery maker has been chosen from hundreds of crafts people nationwide to participate in a prestigious exhibition organised by the Design and Crafts Council of Ireland.
Rowena Sheen is based at the Courthouse Gallery in the bustling North Clare town. She is among the highly skilled markers whose work will be on show in the National Design and Craft Gallery in Kilkenny until January 30, before the exhibition moves to Dublin and later the North of Ireland.
The Made in Ireland exhibition has gathered together the largest visual and sensory feast of fresh ideas and craftsmanship and offers an insight into current activity in skilled making on a national scale. It is not only reflective of the skills of Ireland's community of makers, but it also celebrates work by different generations of the same family, and by collaborative groups and partnerships. It also demonstrates the importance of passing on skills, of cross-pollination and innovation.
Rowena takes inspiration from the North Clare landscape and uses locally sourced materials, where possible, including beewax from her father's hives.
"I design and make contemporary jewellery using locally sourced native Irish wood, sterling silver, and Burren wildflower beeswax," she explained. "I sell my work through over 20 stockists nationwide, including Laura Vaughan in Ennis, Olive & Crew in Lahinch, Foust Gallery in Ennistymon, and Irish Crafts in Doolin. I also sell online through my website Rowenasheen.com and offer local pick up from my studio.
"My most recent collection of necklaces has been inspired by the plant and animal life found during long walks in the Burren over the past year of lockdowns, and I love feeling connected to my surrounding landscape both as a source of inspiration as well as raw materials.
"Beginning with locally gathered tree trunks, the wood is left to dry naturally over many years before individual shapes can be laser cut, hand finished, ebonised and assembled using sterling silver findings. Finally, each piece is finished with beeswax collected from my father's beehives, sealing and protecting the wood and enhancing the colour and the grain.
The exhibition in Kilkenny launched earlier this month and was borne out of a desire to bring together a snapshot of what is happening in skilled making in Ireland, to create an exhibition that organisers describe as "big and eclectic but also surprising, joyful, and inspirational".
The open callout attracted over 420 applicants to the juried process. CEO of Design and Crafts Council Ireland, Rosemary Steen said the show is an important one for makers after the pandemic.
"The past twenty months of closures have been a difficult time for our makers, and opportunities to show craft have been reduced, which makes Made in Ireland all the more timely," she said. "During this time the public have engaged more with the sustainability and authenticity of craft. Guilds, Associations, Networks and Societies (GANS) are at the heart of Design & Crafts Council Ireland and we look forward to continuing to support the development of technical and business skills, creating opportunities and promoting craft in Ireland through the work of our dedicated team."
Project team of Made in Ireland, Mary Gallagher, Hilary Morley and Stephen O'Connell said: "It is our hope that Made in Ireland will engage with diverse audiences and build understanding of craft, design and material culture. In a desert of digital and mass manufacture, we find this oasis of making – a tangible link to the materials and traditions of this island, to its colour, its landscape and its people."
Exhibitors include makers of international renown as well as young, emerging artists and those who have practised quietly in areas of the country such as Clare Island, West Cork and the North Antrim Coast. Some are members of Design and Crafts Council Ireland's Portfolio Critical Selection, while others are highly skilled makers who practise away from the spotlight and national competition.
A full list of exhibitors can be viewed on Ndcg.ie. After the exhibition ends its run in Kilkenny, it will move to Farmleigh Gallery, Phoenix Park, Dublin for the months of July and August. Then, it will go to FE McWilliam Gallery, Banbridge, later in the autumn.

A lot of thought goes into desserts in the wintertime. In our country, we begin at Halloween with candy, gear up with pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving , and are in full swing with assortments of desserts – both candy canes and cookies for Santa at Christmastime. It doesn't stop there though. Once New Year's rolls around, many people make decisions to lose some of that weight they gained during the holiday festivities – so they are still thinking about desserts… either the lack of them in their lives, or how to make them with less fat and sugar. Then of course, there is the growing number of people in our country suffering from diabetes that need to regulate their sugar intake, so they always have to be thoughtful about their desserts.
We pass along recipes for that certain kind of cake or pie that's just how Mom used to make, or perhaps something new we happened across that turned out well. Rarely have I heard someone asked how they made that special batch of mashed potatoes or green bean casserole. We either work through the regular meal to save the best for last (dessert) or, as some are prone to do, eat their dessert first. Either way, it tends to be something we actively work towards, or intentionally avoid.
You can perhaps imagine how confused I was the first time I heard the phrase "just deserts", as in "he got his just deserts" – for although spelled like the vast, sandy patch of land, it is pronounced as the sweets we know and love. Yet, the actual meaning of the phrase "just deserts" implies judgment and consequences that fall upon us, perhaps for good, but most often for ill. The closest parallel I can relate is the threat parents make to their children, that if they do not eat their vegetables, there will be no dessert for them. Even this is not quite accurate though. The phrase comes from the word "deserve". To get your just deserts is to get what you deserve.
I suspect we keep a special focus in our lives on what we deserve, just as much, if not more so, than our thoughts spent on dessert. It drives our work, play, relationships, and expectations of the world around us. It helps us look out for the needs of those around us. It helps us advocate for those who suffer injustices. It can also be a trap. Seeking our just deserts can draw us in and keep us so focused on what we have earned that we forget all about the blessings God gives us that we have not earned.
Read verses 8-10 of this psalm again. The Lord is merciful, slow to anger, full of compassion and unfailing love. He does not remain angry forever or constantly accuse us. He does not punish us for all our sin. In other words, with God, we never get our "just deserts". Thank goodness for that. I know for every time I have done something good, there have probably been a dozen times in my life I have acted selfishly. For every generous gift I have given, I have likely spent ten times that amount chasing after foolish and vain things that did not bring God glory. Perhaps I could think of all the bad things that I could have done with my life, but have chosen not to… and yet, how often have my life choices been guided by the blessing of loving family members, friends who pray for me daily, and church congregations that have walked beside me through good times and bad. All too often, it seems to me that the little bit of good I can do in this world, I am only able to do, because of God's blessing and grace in my life. Therefore, I choose to be thankful for God's goodness, rather than fighting for acknowledgment of my own.
Tonight, we begin a look at the mass – perhaps the basis of Christian worship, and the story told through its movements. We begin entering God's presence with a reminder of our baptism and the Kyrie on our lips. We do not come to God with bags of gold or incense, money or even promises. We come humbly into His presence crying out again for the mercy to even be in God's presence. Thanks be to God who is full of that very mercy, and let all that I am praise the LORD.

Марканто́нио I Коло́нна (; 12 сентября 1478, Салерно, Неаполитанское королевство — 9 марта 1522, Милан, Миланское герцогство) — аристократ из рода Колонна, представитель ветви Колонна из Палиано, граф Чеккано и Пофи в 1498—1522 годах, синьор Палиано и Фраскати.

Кондотьер на службе у Священной Римской и Испанской империй, Папского государства, Французского королевства и Флорентийской республики. Участник Итальянских войн. Кавалер ордена Святого Михаила (1517).

Происхождение
Родился 12 сентября 1478 года в Салерно. В некоторых источниках дата его рождения указывается под 3 сентября 1478 года или между 1470 и 1480 годами. Он был сыном Пьетро Антонио Колонна, князя Салерно, синьора Палиано и Бернардины . По отцовской линии приходился внуком кондотьеру Антонио Колонна, князю Салерно, синьору Дженаццано и Палиано и Империале Колонна из рода синьоров Палестрины и Бассанелло. По материнской линии был внуком римского дворянина Джованни Конти и Катерины Фарнезе из рода синьоров Латеры.

Кондотьер

На службе у Неаполя и Флоренции
В свой первый бой вступил в апреле 1498 года. Это было сражение под Монтечельо, в котором Колонна дрались против Орсини. В июле 1501 года попал в плен во время  разграбления Капуи. В августе того же года римский папа Александр VI отлучил его от церкви за то, что он выступил на стороне правителей Неаполитанского королевства из  против королей Франции и Испании. В ноябре 1502 года Маркантонио с отрядом всадников покинул Папское государство и поступил на службу в армию Неаполитанского королевства под командованием Гонсало де Кордовы. Участвовал на стороне испанцев в военных действиях против французов в Апулии. В феврале 1503 года отличился во время битвы при Руво, в апреле того же года — в битве при Чериньоле, в декабре — в битве при Гарильяно.

В марте 1504 года предложил услуги кондотьера Венецианской республике. В мае того же года получил предложение от Пизы, но предпочёл контракт с Флоренцией. Командовал семьюдесятью пехотинцами в войне флорентийцев против пизанцев. Получал ежегодное жалование в размере восемьсот дукатов. В январе 1505 года командовал обороной Риети, а в августе в битве при Кампилье-Мариттиме разбил пизанцев во главе с кондотьером Бартоломео д'Альвиано. В октябре 1506 года, командуя флорентийцами, помог римскому папе Юлию II изгнать из Болоньи Джованни II Бентивольо и вернуть Папскому государству контроль над городом.

На службе у папы и императора
После победы флорентийцев над пизанцами в 1509 году, в мае 1510 года разорвал контракт с Флорентийской республикой. Отказался от контракта с Венецианской республикой, предложившей ему ежегодную плату в двенадцать тысяч дукатов, и поступил на службу в армию Папского государства. Маркантонио был любимым кондотьером Юлия II. Римский папа высоко ценил его за порядочность и человечность. Ему неоднократно поручалась роль посредника в конфликтах между понтификом и его противниками.

В июле 1510 года Маркантонио был отправлен во главе папских вооружённых сил в Генуэзскую республику, где шла ожесточённая борьба между партиями гвельфов во главе с семьёй Фрегозо и гибеллинов во главе с семьёй Адорно. Римский папа, желая вытеснить союзников французов из Генуи, поддержал дожа Оттавиано Фрегозо. На кораблях флота Венецианской республики папская армия вышла в Лигурийское море. Однако надежды понтифика на быструю победу не оправдались. Попытка взять Геную провалилась. Маркантонио, командуя семьюстами пехотинцами, высадился в Кьявари, занял Ла-Специю и остановился в Рапалло. После неудачной попытки занять Портофино, ему пришлось спешно отступить под натиском французов на кораблях венецианцев. Высадившись в Популонии, он прибыл в Витербо на встречу с римским папой, который отправил его в Романью против феррарского герцога Альфонсо I д'Эсте и других союзников Французского королевства. В сентябре 1510 года Маркантонио переболел лихорадкой в окрестностях Пизы, после чего снова встретился с понтификом в Чезене. На этот раз Юлий II направил его в Болонью. В октябре того же года Маркантонио занял Сассуоло и Рубьеру, в декабре — Модену. Участвовал в осаде и взятии Мирандолы.

Когда в мае 1511 года Болонья снова оказалась под властью семьи Бентивольо, Маркантонио не смог вернуть город под контроль Рима из-за поддержки, которую местное население оказало противникам римского папы. В апреле 1512 году он участвовал в обороне Равенны от французов под командованием Гастона де Фуа, проиграл и был вынужден бежать, едва не попав в засаду. Уже в мае того же года в Риме присутствовал на освящении понтификом собора Святого Иоанна в Латерано, а в июне Юлий II даровал ему титул синьора Монтефортино и поставил командовать папской гвардией. В июле того же года Маркантонио поддержал двоюродного брата Фабрицио Колонна, когда тот помог феррарскому герцогу бежать из Рима, куда Альфонсо I д'Эсте прибыл на мирные переговоры с римским папой; несмотря на предоставленные гарантии безопасности понтифик думал расправиться с посланником. Поступок кондотьера испортил отношения между ним и Юлием II, который отправил его снова Романью. В 1513 году Маркантонио помешал семье Бентивольо вернуться к правлению в Болонье и сохранил город под властью Рима. В апреле 1513 года уже новый римский папа Лев X, признав за ним место главы папской гвардии, отправил воевать за Парму и Пьяченцу на стороне испанцев против французов и венецианцев.

В 1515 году, получив разрешение понтифика, Маркантонио перешёл на службу к императору Священной Римской империи. В августе того же года по просьбе неаполитанского вице-короля Раймондо ди Кардоны занял Финале-Эмилию, откуда затем прибыл в Верону. Укрепил крепостные сооружения города и повысил его обороноспособность. В феврале 1516 года встретил в Вероне императора Максимилиана I, с которым участвовал в походе против французов на Миланское герцогство. В мае того же года был принят императором в Тренто и говорил с ним о проблемах, которые могут возникнуть в случае нападения противников империи на доверенный ему город. В том же месяце французы и венецианцы, захватив Брешиу, подступили к Вероне и приступили к осаде. Начавшиеся проблемы с продовольствием ослабили боевой дух у защитников города. Маркантонио был ранен в плечо ружейным выстрелом, но продолжал держать оборону. Военное подкрепление прибыло в Верону лишь в середине октября, что помогло снять осаду с города. По мирному договору между Священной Римской империей и Венецианской республикой, в ноябре 1516 года Верона перешла к последней. Маркантонио отказался присутствовать при передаче города венецианцам и прибыл к императору в Констанцу, затем в Инсбрук. В том же году римский папа включил его имя в список врагов Святого Престола, вместе с другими членами семьи Колонна, из-за поддержки, которую они оказали Франческо Мария I делла Ровере в борьбе за Урбинское герцогство.

На службе у Парижа
В мае 1517 года он ещё находился на службе у императора в Антверпене, но уже в июне прибыл в Париж и поступил на службу к Франциску I, королю Франции, отказавшись от предложения вернуться в армию Папского государства. Король пожаловал ему 8000 франков и звание кавалера Ордена Святого Михаила. Маркантонио также получил звание капитана армии Французского королевства. В августе 1517 года он прибыл в Рим в качестве представителя французского короля при Святом Престоле. 6 августа понтифик принял у него верительные грамоты. На аудиенции Маркантонио обратился к римскому папе с просьбой вернуть кредиты, которые Папское государство получило от Французского королевства. В Риме он встретился с представителями сицилийской аристократии, изгнанными с острова испанцами, которые предложили французам помощь в передаче им Сицилийского королевства. Однако Маркантонио решил с этим не торопиться. Во-первых, потому что испанцы, подавив оппозицию, укрепили свои позиции на острове. Во-вторых, на военную операцию по захвату острова нужны были большие средства, которыми в то время французы не располагали.

В сентябре 1519 года Маркантонио прибыл в замок Блуа на встречу с Франциском I. В ноябре того же года он отбыл в Милан к наместнику французского короля виконту Лотреку. Последний по приказу Франциска I передал кондотьеру артиллерийские орудия, боеприпасы и тысячу стрелков для размещения в замках семьи Колонна. Вскоре между французами и испанцами, заключившими соглашение с понтификом, началась новая война. Маркантонио находился в своих владениях в Папском государстве, готовый вступить в боевые действия по приказу французского короля. Тогда же к нему опять обратились представители сицилийской аристократии с прежним предложением, которое на этот раз он передал Франциску I.

В августе 1520 года Маркантонио снова прибыл во Французское королевство, но уже в сентябре отбыл в Милан, где поступил под командование виконта Лотрека. В ноябре наместник отправил его в Венецию с просьбами предоставить французам кредит и позволить их армии находиться на землях венецианцев. С оговорками, венецианцы удовлетворили обе просьбы. Во время своего визита Маркантонио говорил о возможном переходе на службу в армию Венецианской республики. 9 марта 1522 года, в сражении за Милан, который к тому времени был захвачен у французов испанцами, он попал под выстрел из кулеврины и получил смертельное ранение. Через год после смерти останки Маркантонио были перенесены и погребены в Фонди. Согласно другим источникам, он похоронен в церкви Сантиссима-Тринита-дей-Монти в Риме.

Брак и потомство
Стремясь закрепить мир между семьями Колонна и Орсини, римский папа Юлий II, после того как выдал свою внебрачную дочь Феличе делла Ровере за Джованни Джордано Орсини, предложил Маркантонио I Колонна сочетаться браком со своей племянницей Лукрецией Гара (ум. 1552), дочерью Габриелло Гара из Савоны и Лючины делла Ровере. По мнению историка  невесту Маркантонио I Колонна звали Лукрецией Франчотти, и была она дочерью Джанфранческо Франчотти из Лукки, первого мужа Лючины делла Ровере. Брачный договор был заключён сторонами в Риме в 1506 году; жениха на нём представлял его дядя, кондотьер Просперо Колонна. В ноябре 1507 года состоялось знакомство будущих супругов. Свадебные торжества прошли 2 или 4 января 1508 года. На церемонии бракосочетания присутствовали дипломаты, в частности послы французского и испанского королевств. В честь новобрачных кардиналы  и  прочли эпиталаму, написанную Эванджелистой Маддалени де Каподиферро. В приданое за Лукрецией Маркантонио I получил десять тысяч дукатов и золотую цепь, а также дворец на площади Святых Апостолов (ныне дворец Колонна в Риме), сорок тысяч дукатов ежегодного сбора с титульной церкви Святых Апостолов в Риме и синьорию Фраскати, коммуне которой в феврале 1515 года им был дан статут. В браке у супругов родились четыре дочери:
 Порция, венецианская патрицианка и римская дворянка, 24 мая 1533 года сочеталась браком с Франсуа де Рю, синьором де Вольри и маркизом Корато;
 Ортензия, венецианская патрицианка и римская дворянка, сочеталась браком с Джироламо Паллавичино, маркизом Буссето;
 Артемизия, венецианская патрицианка и римская дворянка, сочеталась браком с Бартоломео Мартиненго, графом Виллакьяра;
 Ливия (ум. 1552), венецианская патрицианка и римская дворянка, сочеталась браком с Марцио Колонна, графом Марьери.

Титулы
Граф Чеккано и Пофи, синьор Палиано, Олевано, Серроне, Дзанкати, Муроло, Неттуно, Астуры и Фраскати, неаполитанский и венецианский патриций, римский дворянин.

Lift Farmers out of Poverty - Planting Training Improves Fruit Farmers' Livelihood in Mainland China
Agricultural development cannot keep pace with that of the city in the Mainland. Farmers began to make a living in urban areas, while the women left behind became the major farm workforce. Many women lack the knowledge of science and management skills, which result in poor harvests and affect their income. Madam Zhao's family is an example - they became a poverty-stricken farm household for various reasons including illnesses. A small fruit farm was no longer sufficient to support a family of five. Two years ago, The Salvation Army began to provide training on fruit growing, helping a hundred fruit farmers including Madam Zhao to boost their income, thus improving their quality of life.
Madam Zhao lives in Tielu Village of Mengjin County in Luoyang City, Henan Province. Her husband, almost 70, failed to find odd jobs due to his old age. Madam Zhao's son and daughter-in-law were too sick to work. Even with the government's living allowances, the whole family's livelihood still relies on the meagre income from the 65-year-old grandmother Madam Zhao, who works tirelessly in a small pear orchard.
Low Tech, Low Income
"Our pear trees only took up a 0.6 acre of land. I didn't know how to plant, so I just followed what the others did." Two years ago, a year's hard work of Madam Zhao yielded a harvest of 1,000 kg of pears, which were sold at a total of RMB 2,000. But as soon as the money was received, she had no choice but to hand it all over to the hospital for her daughter-in-law's annual medical fee. "The pears were too small, so they were not sold at a very good price." At this point, Madam Zhao tried to hold back her tears, just the way she had borne the heavy burden of her family.
The only comfort for Madam Zhao was her 10-year-old granddaughter. "My granddaughter studies well. The teachers like her a lot. She is a considerate girl. She always helps me with chores after school." Madam Zhao paused, and went on, "She told me she wanted a pair of roller skates, because she saw her classmates skating at school. But they cost RMB 90, too expensive for me to afford them..."
Training Helps Double The Harvest
Madam Zhao's situation provided a glimpse into the problems shared by many other local fruit farmers. The Salvation Army has launched poverty alleviation projects in many places of Luoyang City, and fruit farmers are one of the beneficiaries. Upon assessment of the farmers' needs, The Army started to work with two local organisations to implement the Women Fruit Planting Training Project in four counties. The training provided to 100 fruit farmers included information on techniques which could be applied, field practices and advanced planting tools; with the trainer being on hand to answer the farmer's questions. After each training session, Madam Zhao would try the new techniques in her own farm. She said, "Now I can save more money for my family and my fruit trees yield better, bigger fruit."
The harvest of Madam Zhao's pear trees has doubled to 2,000 kg, boosting the total income to almost RMB 6,000. She has now taken on another 1.8 acre of farmland to plant vegetables. It is expected to increase their annual income by RMB 10,000! "Last time, before the examinations of my granddaughter, I told her I would buy her a pair of roller skates if she could get good results." Talking about this, Madam Zhao beamed. "She studied really hard and did very well! So I bought her the skates. She was thrilled! That night, she put them on and skated around at home!" Madam Zhao delightfully told us her hope for the future, "Next year when we make a profit, I will buy a fridge, an air-conditioner..."
Extend The Project And Benefit More Fruit Farmers
Henan Province is one of the provinces with the largest number of migrant rural labourers. Luoyang City is a typical city of imbalanced urban-rural development in the Province. Many villages and counties are desperate for support. The Salvation Army's Women Fruit Planting Training Project has been highly recommended by the citizens over the past two years. The neighbouring poor areas are also applying for the project implementation. The Salvation Army hopes to extend the project further, lifting more farmers out of poverty and improving their lives.

When a print finishes and after hitting print success on the touch screen a few options pop up. I can't remember exactly what they say but there is one that says "Print Standby" and another that basically take you back to the home screen. I don't see any difference between the two. I thought it'd be nice if the standby option kept the extruder and bed temps hot. For example I do a print and decide I want to make a couple tweaks the the G-code, if I hit standby I could keep it warm while making those tweaks quickly and I could get right back to printing.
Why is it required to heat both extruders when only printing w/ one?
Is there a way to delete individual items from the print dash board are that shows how long things actually took to print? I know you can delete all of them but maybe we just want to delete some of them?
Lastly, I'd love Gyroid infill option in Ideamaker.
Also I've found a few bugs I'd like to bring up. Sometimes when I turn my printer on in the morning the WLAN has been disabled randomly. I've also had a few times where the touch screen wasn't working and required me to toggle the power of the printer again.
Thanks for your suggestions. Will forward your thoughts to developing team.

Important for investors and private fund sponsors alike, here, we discuss key highlights of OCIE 2019 examination priorities and other notable areas of SEC focus. Additionally, included below are some reminders of annual reporting obligations applicable to private fund sponsors.
Sponsors and investors should also review their partnership agreements and side letters for any contractual obligations and reporting requirements applicable to them.
Consistent with prior years and SEC enforcement actions, speeches and risk alerts issued during the course of 2018, the most notable 2019 examination priorities affecting the private funds industry emphasize the following topics.
an adviser's financial professionals' adequately calculating and charging fees to investors in accordance with such disclosures.
undisclosed fees and expenses charged directly to portfolio companies, often in the form of operating partner, consulting and monitoring agreements.
borrowing funds from clients with an emphasis on whether adequate disclosures, including that the potentially poor or failing financial condition of the investment adviser, are made to the client, and that the investment adviser has acted consistently with these disclosures.
In addition to 2019 OCIE's examination priorities, examiners continue to ask questions relating to any form of conflicts of interest, in particular, relating to cross investments, principal transactions, cross trades, and conflicts with side letter provisions.
OCIE will focus on proper configuration of network storage devices, information security governance and risk assessment, access rights and controls, data loss prevention, vendor management, training, incident response, and properly adopted policies and procedures.
OCIE will give particular emphasis to cybersecurity practices at investment advisers with multiple branch offices, including those that have recently merged with other investment advisers.
Consistent with recent SEC statements and enforcement actions during the second part of 2018, OCIE intends to monitor the offer and sale, trading and management of digital assets, safety of client funds and assets, pricing of client portfolios and where the products are securities, examine for regulatory compliance and internal control.
OCIE will review advisers' practices for executing investment transactions on behalf of clients, allocating investment opportunities among clients, ensuring consistency with disclosures, investment objectives and other legal restrictions.
OCIE will continue to conduct risk-based examinations of investment advisers that have never been examined, newly registered investment advisers, and advisers that have not been examined for a number of years and have substantially grown or changed their business models.
Although not directly addressed in the 2019 examination priorities, during examinations, examiners continue to focus on valuation practices, performance presentations and calculations, presentations of internal rate of return and the effect of subscription credit facilities on such returns, pay to play practices, the testimonial rule and the custody rule.
Investment advisers should review their existing practices, policies and procedures to ensure consistency with the SEC's enforcement priorities and areas of focus.
Investors should be aware and take into account these specific areas of SEC focus when conducting their diligence with respect to a potential investment.
On December 14, 2018, OCIE released a National Exam Program Risk Alert.
The risk alert was the result of an examination initiative it undertook of registered investment advisers to obtain an understanding of the various forms of electronic messaging (excluding e-mail use on the investment advisers' systems) used by advisers and their personnel, the risks of such use, and the challenges in complying with the books and records and compliance rules under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act).
The purpose was to remind advisers of their obligations when their personnel use electronic messaging and to help advisers improve their systems, policies and procedures.
providing regular reminders to employees of what is permitted and prohibited under the adviser's policies and procedures with respect to electronic messaging.
On August 13, 2018, the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA) was enacted into law, representing the first comprehensive amendments to the U.S. foreign investment review process since 2007.
FIRRMA addresses the scope, procedures and timing by which transactions involving non-U.S. persons are reviewed by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and several features warrant particular attention for private equity investors.
Final regulations for CFIUS to operate under FIRRMA are not due until early 2020, but CFIUS has already implemented a pilot program for foreign investment in businesses involved in the design or manufacture of critical technologies in several, specifically identified industries such as aircraft and semiconductor manufacturing.
Prior to FIRRMA, CFIUS was empowered to review, and the President entitled to block or unwind, only "covered transactions" that could result in "control" of a U.S. business by a non-U.S. person.
"other investments" of less than a controlling interest in U.S. businesses that involve critical technologies, critical infrastructure or sensitive personal data of U.S. citizens.
In addition to the broader scope, certain covered transactions will, for the first time, require a mandatory filing to CFIUS (subject to substantial penalties for non-compliance) and CFIUS is authorized to impose filing fees.
Although many of FIRRMA's details are more than a year away from coming into force, non-U.S. investors and U.S. private fund sponsors and entities in which non-U.S. investors intend to invest, should consider the concepts built into FIRRMA when making such investment and assessing whether a submission to CFIUS is warranted during the interim time period.
Investment advisers that are registered with the SEC under the Advisers Act, and advisers filing as exempt reporting advisers with the SEC, must file an annual amendment to Form ADV within 90 days of the end of their fiscal year.
Registered investment advisers must update Part 1 and Part 2A brochure of such adviser's Form ADV, while exempt reporting advisers must update only Part 1 of such adviser's Form ADV. Registered investment advisers are also required to update, but are not required to file with the SEC, Part 2B brochure supplements of their Form ADV.
In addition, registered investment advisers are required to provide a copy of the updated Form ADV Part 2A brochure (or a summary of changes with an offer to provide the complete brochure) and, in certain cases, Part 2B brochure supplement to each of their clients.
Registered investment advisers to private funds with more than US$150 million of assets under management attributable to such funds are required to file Form PF with the SEC within 120 days after such adviser's fiscal year end. Form PF requires disclosure of the adviser's assets under management and information on each private fund it advises.
The reporting requirements for advisers whose assets under management exceed certain thresholds may be required to file a more extensive form PF and file it more frequently.
In particular, a hedge fund adviser with more than US$1.5 billion of regulatory assets under management attributable to its hedge funds is required to report on Form PF on a quarterly basis within 60 days of the end of each calendar quarter and to provide specific additional information.
A private liquidity fund adviser with more than US$1 billion in combined regulatory assets under management attributable to both registered money market funds and private liquidity funds is required to report on Form PF on a quarterly basis within 15 days of the end of each calendar quarter and to provide specific additional information.
A private equity fund adviser with more than US$2 billion in regulatory assets under management attributable to its private equity funds is only required to file on an annual basis within 120 days of the end of its fiscal year and is also required provide specific additional.
Many private fund sponsors are able to rely on the exemption from registration with the National Futures Association (NFA) that is available under Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Rule 4.13(a)(3) (de minimis exemption) and have claimed such exemption.
The de minimis exemption is subject to an annual affirmation which must be completed within 60 days after the end of each calendar year. Failure to affirm the exemption is deemed a withdrawal of the exemption once the 60 day period has elapsed.
Private fund sponsors that do not qualify for the de minimis exemption may be subject to registration with the NFA as commodity pool operators (CPOs) and commodity trading advisors (CTAs), resulting in annual fees, disclosure, record-keeping and requirements.
A registered CPO must file an annual report with respect to each relevant commodity pool that it operates and file Form CPO-PQR, which would need to be filed with the NFA within 60 days of the end of each calendar quarter.
A registered CTA must consider file Form CTA-PR, which must be filed with the NFA within 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter.
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) requires investment advisers (whether or not registered) to submit a report on Schedule 13F with the SEC, within 45 days after the last day of any calendar year and within 45 days after the last day of each of the next three calendar quarters following such calendar year, if on the last day of any month of such calendar year the investment adviser exercised discretion with respect to accounts holding Section 13(f) securities (generally, publicly traded securities) having an aggregate fair market value of at least US$100 million.
Rule 13H-1 of the Exchange Act requires an investment adviser that is a "large trader" (i.e., it engages in transactions in National Market System securities equal to or in excess of two million shares or US$20 million during any calendar day, or 20 million shares or US$200 million during any calendar month) to promptly (within 10 days) file an initial Form 13H after effecting aggregate transactions equal to, or greater than, the applicable activity level.
Following this initial filing, all large traders must make an amended filing to update any previously-disclosed information that becomes inaccurate no later than promptly (within 10 days) following calendar quarter end and must separately file an annual amendment within 45 days after calendar year-end unless they have filed for an inactive status.
In order to rely on the safe harbor private placement exemption contained in Regulation D of the US Securities Act of 1933, a private fund sponsor must ensure the fund, its direct or indirect 20 percent beneficial owners, its placement agents, and each of the sponsor's directors, executive officers and any other personnel that are or may be involved in the fundraising efforts of the fund, have not committed bad acts that have resulted in disqualifying events.
A private fund sponsor that is in the process of fundraising capital should ensure it has conducts the appropriate diligence, obtains appropriate certifications and periodic updates to ensure that such bad acts have not been committed.
Rule 206(4)-2 of the Advisers Act (Custody Rule) requires a registered investment adviser to private funds to obtain an audit by an independent public accountant, prepare annual audited financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP for each of its private funds, and to deliver such financial statements to the fund's investors within 120 days of the fund's fiscal year end.
Alternatively, a registered investment adviser must undergo an annual surprise examination of client assets conducted by an independent public accountant.
Each private fund adviser should review its fund structures to ensure every fund and special purpose vehicle that is subject to an annual audit requirement under the Custody Rule is being audited or has been subject to a surprise audit.
Rule 206(4)-7 under the Advisers Act requires a registered investment adviser to review annually the adequacy of the adviser's written compliance policies and procedures and the effectiveness of their implementation.
Examiners routinely request copies of a register investment adviser's annual compliance program review report and the adviser's findings and recommendations resulting from the review.
The chief compliance officer should also ensure that all relevant personnel receive annual training addressing its compliance policies and procedures.
Investment advisers and private funds are subject to SEC, CFTC and Federal Trade Commission regulations governing the privacy of certain confidential information and are required to provide notice to individual investors regarding their privacy policies and procedures at the start of the relationship with such individual investor (although they are no longer required to provide an annual privacy notice to such investors unless material changes have been made to the policy).
A private fund that engages in a private offering that continues for more than one year may be subject to annual renewal filing requirements under Regulation D or under state blue sky laws.
A private fund sponsor that intends to solicit state or local governmental entities in the U.S. (e.g., a U.S. public employee retirement plan) or its personnel may be required to register as lobbyists in such states and comply with such states' annual reporting requirements.

An excellent opportunity to purchase a digital marketing agency which provides a fully outsourced marketing function to its clients. It comprises three distinct revenue streams serving different market segments.
Its revenue has grown strongly and has great potential to continue expanding.
The business comprises three distinct digital marketing revenue streams operating in three different market segments, 1) For micro-businesses, 2) For small and medium sized businesses and 3) for drop-shippers.
Turnover is presently £120k and is expected to increase to £160k by end of Q1 2018 and £200k by end of 2018.
Organic growth and referrals will continue to increase the business's turnover. However replicating the business's approach in other geographical areas offers scope to expand much more rapidly. A targeted increase in the sales force would support this.
The business's activities and clients are mainly in and around Surrey. The business has four experienced staff who could continue with the business.
Other digital marketing agencies exist but this businesses' strength is its established local focus and proven business model.

Julian Fell was an octochamp in and the champion of Series 48, and a quarter-finalist in Championship of Champions XI. He is widely considered to be among the greatest Countdowners of all time.
He holds a cornucopia of records, including the highest single score in a game of 146 which has been matched but never exceeded. Fell is particularly renowned for his astonishing word knowledge, including definitions, coupled with fast conundrums. He was the third player in history to solve all eight of his preliminary conundrums, after Harvey Freeman and David Williams. His numbers strength is often underestimated in comparison to the other disciplines. A poll of Gevincountdown members in 2003 voted him the greatest player of all time, ahead of Harvey Freeman. His octochamp aggregate score of 924 was a record until Series 60 champion Kirk Bevins beat it by a single point in 2009. He is also the first player in the history of Countdown to score over 900 points (924) across his 8 heat games.
His debut came on Wednesday 16th October 2002, when as an 18-year old student from York Sixth Form College, he posted an impressive 117. Six more centuries followed, and by the following Friday only Carl McDermott stood between Fell and octochampdom. This game is remembered as one of the greatest drubbings in Countdown history, as Fell racked up 138, winning by 109. His place as #1 seed and favourite for the series was assured, and his feat of eight centuries in eight heats has been matched by only a very select group of players.
The quarter final saw Fell rack up a hefty 125 against 8th seed Mike Brown including the nine WOMANISER to advance comfortably to the next round. In the semifinal, Fell faced Danny Hamilton, finding SALMONIDS, DEPORTING, INGATHERS and DEFLATION to make 146 before the conundrum. With Chris Wills' high score record already surpassed, Fell had his first blank on the conundrum, with THEIRCOPY proving too difficult for either contestant. The final was more closely fought, despite Fell finding a first round winner in MANTICORE. Grace Page played consistently thereafter and the excellent KNITWEAR in Round 9 gave her a chance of a comeback. However the rest of the game produced flat selections and the game was over before the final numbers. Fell ended the series by unravelling APIMOMENT in barely a second.
A few weeks later, he returned to the Leeds studio for Championship of Champions XI. A twelfth consecutive century, this time against Series 42's Terence O'Farrell, eased Fell into the quarterfinals. His match with Series 43 champion Graham Nash was another classic. Both players scored steadily but the game turned on Fell's risky declaration of gambiers, which he knew to be a mass noun plural but believed was likely to be acceptable under the newly revised rules. Susie disagreed - the first time Fell had had a word disallowed. A few points behind going into the crucial conundrum, Nash quickly buzzed with the solution to MENDMEDOC and the game was his - Fell had been felled at last.
Fell returned a few months later to face Series 47 champion Chris Wills in a special game. The game was close but Fell pulled ahead with GERONTIC in round 12, but was beaten on the last numbers and went into the conundrum trailing 90 – 92. Fell had still scored a century in every game he had played, including his loss to Graham Nash. It was Fell that got the conundrum VIRTUOSIC and continued his run of 14 centuries in 14 games. Overall, he has won 13 games and lost only 1.
Following Fell's loss to Graham Nash, he played in two non-televised charity games against Chris Cummins, the champion of Series 50 and a fellow Cambridge University student at the time. Fell won 2 – 0. He went on to organise the first major online tournament in the summer of 2004, and beat Jon Stitcher in a closely fought final.
Fell also appeared as a contestant on the defunct Channel 5 game show Brainteaser.
He has since graduated from Magdalene College, Cambridge. A once active member of the online Countdown community, Fell attended the offline CoNot tournament in 2008. Soon after, he announced his retirement, citing a lack of motivation.

For the EWBS, the only archery society solely dedicated to the English Warbow, to not commemorate Agincourt would be a shameful omission indeed. Naturally an event was held to celebrate its abiding memory and what better place to hold it than the area of good King Harry's upbringing, Monmouthshire. Monmouth will always be associated with Henry V, who was born in its Castle in 1387. Less well known is that it is likely he spent his formative years at the Courtfield Estate in Welsh Bicknor. The estate is reputed to have originally been called Greenfield and was given the 'Court' prefix in his honour. Henry cut his military teeth fighting the rebel Owain Glyndwr. During the battle of Shrewsbury, between the two claimants to the title 'Prince of Wales', he was badly injured by an arrow strike below his eye. However, he refused to leave the field until the day was won.
The most appropriate date to hold a commemorative shoot is slightly open to conjecture as England used the Julian calendar at the time of the battle and the subsequent shift to the Gregorian alters the actual time of year to an earlier date. However, the modern interpretation fits the bill as well and as fate transpired the weather was tolerable if not ideal. Perhaps it is apt that early rain turned to sunshine as the day wore on to echo the past on that fateful day.
part responsible for elevating our archers to become the undisputed best in Europe. Rather like football now, archery was the national obsession and clearly fitted our mindset. However, England's enemies could not or dare not encourage such activities themselves. The Scots clan based society was not centralised enough to enforce such practise and social order was too unstable to arm train and arm the 'Levée en masse' with such a devastating weapon. Neither nation took to the bow in way the English and South Welsh did. A look at any map of England will show how shooting at the butts was so wide spread as it has left an indelible mark. Many villages and towns will bear the name of 'The Butts' or 'Butts Lane' etc with Worcester's 'The Butts' being a particularly famous example.
After several ends at the butts the archers moved on to the roving marks including three arrows at the Oriflamme from 240 paces. The Oriflamme has a particular resonance with Agincourt as it was carried onto the field. The name comes from the Latin aurea flamma, meaning golden flame. This was the battle standard of the King of France and at Agincourt it signified that no quarter was to be given by the French. However, ultimately the French suffered the ignominy of the English capturing their most belligerent of battle banners as had previously happened at Poitiers in 1356. At the end of the roving marks, the EWBS archers returned to the barn to be fortified for the flight shoot by enjoying some of host Brian Lee's wife's excellent chocolate cake, a welcome tradition.
After the refreshments, the archers assembled in the flight shooting field. As the archers presented their arrows for scrutinizing, the sun came out which always makes outdoor proceedings more pleasant. The flight shoot was undertaken in challenging conditions with a strong blustery wind blowing at a right angle to the shooting line. The weather seemed to drop the light flight shafts short yet some good, if not outstanding, distances were attained with the heavier war arrows. Two archers shot well past the Tudor minimum of 220 yards with the society's replica livery arrow based on the arrows of the Mary Rose. The following is a record of the distances achieved and equipment used. As ever, different bow classification were in effect to provide a level playing field and encourage historical replica warbows of all period woods.
At the end of the days shooting everyone headed to barn for the final time for the prize giving with Steve Stratton proving that winning the combined butts and roving marks was indeed becoming habit forming. Young Ben Stratton fought off the late charge of Hugh Spencer to make it a brace for father and son. The butts proved such a resounding success that it clearly deserves its own event as it provides such a tangible connection with our ancestors' martial prowess.


Canterbury will play Northland while Auckland will meet Wellington in the semifinals of the men's national interprovincial team tournament on the Clearwater course in Christchurch this morning.
Canterbury topped division one on a countback of games from Wellington while Auckland was dominant in division two.
Otago lost any chance of making the playoffs after going down to Southland 3-2 yesterday morning.
Otago romped home against Tasman in the afternoon but it was too little too late and the team finished third in the second division.
This placed Otago sixth in the event as Manawatu-Wanganui, which was third in division one, had a superior point and game tally.
Otago looked set to beat Southland when leading 3.5-1.5 with six holes to play.
"But the Southland boys finished well turning the tables and they deserved the win," Otago coach Ben Gallie said.
Southland No1 Mat Tautari was 5-under on his way to beating Inia Logan on the 17th green.
Otago No2 Brandon Hodgson was two ahead of Tyler McLean after 12 holes but McLean birdied 14 and 15 while Hodgson finished with two bogeys.
Otago No3 Jack Turner had two wins on his 19th birthday, beating Liam Hewitt in the morning and Tasman's Brook Hale in the afternoon.
No4 Scott Hellier had the measure of Liam Balneaves on the front nine but the Southlander birdied 13 and sank a 12m putt for a birdie two on the 16th hole to turn the tables.
In a battle of the reserves at No 5, Duncan Croudis finished with a last-green win over Southland's Brad Harper.
Otago was always in control in the afternoon with some impressive winning margins over its Tasman opponents.
The team needed Taranaki to beat Northland in the final round to finish second and make the playoffs but Northland won three of its five games over Taranaki.

Rich Stearns to Retire from Charity Behemoth World Vision
Cathy Lynn Grossman | USA Today | Thursday, January 11, 2018
Rich Stearns will retire as president of World Vision, the Christian humanitarian agency known for its focus on children, after two decades building it into one of America's largest charities.
On Tuesday (Jan. 9), the day he made the announcement, he tweeted:
"Today, after 20 years as President of @WorldVisionUSA, I announced my intention to retire at the end of 2018. I feel privileged to have had this opportunity to serve with some of the most amazing faith heroes on the planet – my colleagues all across the world. Thank you Lord!"
Today, after 20 years as President of @WorldVisionUSA, I announced my intention to retire at the end of 2018. I feel privileged to have had this opportunity to serve with some of the most amazing faith heroes on the planet - my colleagues all across the world. Thank you Lord!
— Rich Stearns (@RichStearns) January 9, 2018
During his tenure, World Vision grew to collect $1 billion in annual revenue in 2017, making the 67-year-old ministry No. 15 on Forbes' list of the nation's largest charities. The agency's statement on Stearns cites its "two million supporters, child sponsors, and partners and says it is on track to serve 30 million children by 2022."
That track was nearly derailed in March 2014, however, with a blowup in Christian evangelical circles over how World Vision would deal with LGBT employees.
Stearns wrote to employees that the board agreed to alter the employee conduct manual for the U.S. branch of World Vision to recognize same-sex marriage as being within the norms of "abstinence before marriage and fidelity in marriage." At the same time, he wrote, "we are not sliding down some slippery slope of compromise, nor are we diminishing the authority of Scripture in our work."
Two painful days later, the agency reversed course. It faced withering criticism from conservative evangelicals such as Russell Moore, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, and the Rev. Franklin Graham, who called the move "ungodly."
Worse, to the child-focused agency, it lost nearly 5,000 sponsors who had been paying $35 a month to support impoverished children. Stearns said it was difficult to see that in all the "confusion and dissonance" of the new policy, "discussion of the good work of the agency had been taken off the table and out of the discussion," he told RNS.
"We made certainly, in retrospect, a bad decision, but we did it with the right motivations. … Our regret is that we caused more division instead of finding a place of more unity," he said.
Then Stearns called for as much passionate attention to be given to the issues of poverty and suffering.
This has been his theme ever since he left the corporate life in 1998 to follow what felt like "a call from God on his life" to join the Seattle-based parachurch ministry.
And it remains his focus. In a July essay for Christianity Today, Stearns, 66, gently chided Christians for being "prone to 'cause ADD,' lurching from one crisis response to another." He urged a steady focus on defeating relentless hunger, poverty and the pains of the global refugee crisis.
Commenting on Stearns' retirement, Moore — setting aside the 2014 controversy — told RNS that the World Vision leader "creatively and persuasively called Christians to follow the path of Jesus, toward a faith that believes and a faith that acts. Rich never forgot that Jesus loves us, body and soul, and in his amazing global leadership he taught us how to do likewise."
Ed Stetzer, executive director of the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College, called Stearns "a rare find — an effective leader, a prophetic voice and a willing learner— all in the same person."
The World Vision board said it would initiate a search for Stearns' replacement, "diligently seeking God's will" and using an executive search firm that specializes in Christian ministries.

Read My New UFO Article in "The New Republic"
I have a new piece out in The New Republic about the National Defense Authorization Act and its new UFO office. Six months after the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, delivered a report to Congress that failed to explain more than 140 reports of unidentified flying objects—mostly because no one in government tried all that hard to explain them—Congress is set to approve legislation to create a new office within the Pentagon tasked with investigating military UFO sightings. The new office will gather reports of sightings, analyze them, and deliver reports to Congress on the subject at intervals. At least that's the aspect of this decision on which the legislators who pushed for the new office want the public to focus. Underneath the surface, Congress is about to require the Pentagon to get weird. Very weird. Like, imaginary crashed-saucer wreckage weird. Read the full story in The New Republic.

Coal mines and climate change: Australia's Adani controversy
The Carmichael mine will be Australia's largest ever coal mine, if it goes ahead. But it faces strong opposition. As the impacts of climate change mount, many Australians are rallying against the mine

Australia is one of the world's largest coal producers, exporting to Japan, China, South Korea, India and Taiwan.
After a fraught seven years, marked by controversy and opposition, a new coal mine has recently been approved in the country's north east.
The Carmichael coal mine would be run by Indian mining giant, Adani. And at an estimated value of AUD$21.7 billion, it would be Australia's largest ever coal mine.
But the coal is to be exported coal via one of the country's most loved marine destinations: The Great Barrier Reef.
It is bound to have drastic environmental impacts. And many Australians are now asking what the real price of coal is.
From Sydney, Jake Atienza explores the fierce debate that's unfolding.
Australia is renowned for its beaches. Every year, millions of tourists visit to get a taste of life in this self-proclaimed 'lucky country.'
And lucky it is. In terms of natural resources, Australia is one of the richest nations in the world.
But many are arguing that the government's poor management of natural resources is simply lining the pockets of international mining companies, and destroying the natural environment.
The Carmichael coal mine, on Australia's north east coast has recently acquired government support, and backing from investors.
With an estimated lifespan of 60 years, the 28,000 hectare coal mine is projected to contribute up to AUD$44.3 billion to the Australian economy. It would become Australia's largest coal mine.
But the mine has tapped into a live debate in Australia, and is facing overwhelming opposition from environment groups.
"It's about having a safe climate. Avoiding more extreme weather in the future," stated Imogen Zethoven, from the Australian Marine Conservation Society in Sydney.
"Looking after the ocean in general and our forests. The health of our wellbeing, future genera-tions."
Imogen continued, "These projects that are promoting fossil fuels, actually not just jeopardise the Great Barrier Reef but they jeopardise all the jobs along the reef coastline that are dependent on it."
As the world's biggest living structure, and home to a diverse ecosystem of coral and marine life, the Great Barrier Reef is vulnerable to major land transformations brought about by mining.
Australia has one of the world's most regulated mining industries, but Zethoven says the govern-ment is ignoring how coal mining contributes to climate change.
An immediate transition to renewable energy should be the government's top priority.
Supporters of the Carmichael coal mine say the project will boost jobs in an area facing high levels of unemployment.
But Imogen says that renewable energy could provide those jobs instead.
"We know that renewable energy is a huge job creator," she said. "If the Queensland government's target of 50% renewable energy by 2030 is to be achieved then it will achieve between 6400 and 6700 jobs there in regional Queensland."
Meanwhile, Indian mining company Adani is seeking a AUD$900 million loan from the Australian government to help finance the construction of a rail line to support the mine.
Opponents argue that the government should not be using tax payer's money to help fund a mine.
"They should be funding things like renewable energy to actually stop us from getting to dangerous global warming," saidd James Dagher , NSW Coordinator of the Australian Youth Climate Coali-tion, and leader of the #StopAdani campaign in Sydney.
"We want to invest in infrastructure that supports long term economic benefit to the country. Build-ing things like the renewable energy that we need," he argued.
70% of Australia's electricity comes from coal.
But Mick Crowe, Director of Resource Industry Network - a peak body representing companies in the mining sector, says that the transition to renewables shouldn't be rushed.
"There's no short term available solution with power, with solar and wind that those communities can pay for in the short term," he claimed.
"If you wanna not disturb the earth at all, then we all have to change the way we live. But if we do wanna actually do it, this is the right place to do it."
The place in question is the land of the Wangan and Jagalingou People. They're the Indigenous people who have cared for the land for tens of thousands of years, and they have consistently op-posed the mine.
"Our people still live in poverty. Nothing has changed. There is not one mining deal that we've previously agreed to that has benefited our people," said Marrawah Johnson, spokesperson for the Wangan and Jagalingou Traditional Owners Council.
Johnson alleges Adani paid more than 200 Aboriginal people to pose as Wangan and Jagalingou People in an attempt to obtain consent to purchase 2,700 hectares of Wangan and Jagalingou land.
"They do not have the right to supposedly consent to the destruction of that country," she stated.
The first hearing to settle the land dispute between Adani and the Wangan and Jagalingou People will take place in March 2018. It is the final challenge that could stop the Carmichael coal mine from going ahead.

As experienced personal injury attorneys in Colorado Springs, we've seen our fair share of car accident, truck accident, and motorcycle accident cases. No matter how careful and defensive a driver tends to be, there are always incidents caused by other drivers that simply can't be avoided.
In an effort to research the subject of auto accidents in Colorado Springs, I found a helpful article from Fox 21 News that identified the top 25 most dangerous intersections in the city.
Likely not a surprise to many who cross the intersection on their daily commute, Briargate Parkway and N. Powers Boulevard tops the list.
25. E. Platte Ave. and N. Academy Boulevard.
City engineers used a weighted average to decided which intersections are the worst. The algorithm weighs property damage as a weight of one, injuries as a weight of five, and fatalities as a weight of two.
In terms of number of total accidents, Barnes and N. Powers Boulevard (seventh on the list) records almost twice as many accidents as Briargate Parkway and N. Powers Boulevard. However, the average severity of accidents on the first-ranked intersection raises it to the top.
If you've been injured in an auto accident in Colorado Springs, or anywhere in the Front Range, be sure to contact an experienced personal injury attorney like those at Sears & Associates, P.C.
