Walking the Berkshires
"Sharp, quirky, and occasionally nettlesome", Walking the Berkshires is my personal blog, an eclectic weaving of human narrative, natural history, and other personal passions with the Berkshire and Litchfield Hills as both its backdrop and point of departure. I am interested in how land and people, past and present manifest in the broader landscape and social fabric of our communities. The opinions I express here are mine alone. Never had ads, never will.

This winter has been exceptionally mild in New England. There are daffodil shoots already pushing up through the soil in my yard. There have been many warm days and cool nights, more typical of March than midwinter, and in late January the maple sap started to run. The Concord Monitor has the story:
"(Barry) Rock is a professor of natural resources at the University of New Hampshire. Rock said New England warmed by 2 degrees Fahrenheit in the 20th century and average winter temperatures rose 4 degrees. A 2001 report assessing the effect of potential climate change in New England, of which Rock was a co-author and editor, showed that between 1920 and 1960 the United States produced 80 percent of the world's maple syrup, most of which came from New York and New England. Canada produced the other 20 percent. Now, those percentages have reversed. About a third of that change can be attributed to climate change, Rock said. Demographic changes are also factors.
An unpredictable tapping season makes it difficult for farmers to get optimum collection, particularly of the lighter syrup, he said. Plus, trees need prolonged periods of cold to convert their starches to sugar and produce sweet sap, he said. Rock said the warming trend will continue because of human-induced global warming. In 100 years, he said, average New England temperatures will be between 6 and 10 degrees warmer. With 6 degrees of change, New England would feel the way Richmond, Va. does now, Rock said. With 10 degrees, this climate would be like Atlanta's.
"You know that they don't do a lot of tapping of maple trees in Richmond or Atlanta," Rock said. "
Many climate change models predict that sugar maple will no longer be viable in New England forests by the end of this century, with a species range that constricts northward into Canada. Aside from the substancial economic and cultural impact of the loss of this emblematic tree, there would be dramatic ecological consequences from a maple retreat due to climate change.

CINDERELLA's TOM KEIFER: Solo Album Details Revealed
Best known as the singer/songwriter/guitarist of the Philadelphia-based blues-rock band CINDERELLA, Tom Keifer is making his debut as a solo artist with the release of his long-awaited and highly anticipated solo album, "The Way Life Goes", on April 30 via Merovee Records (through Warner Music Group's Independent Label Group).
The collection of 14 new songs ranges from intimate, organic, acoustic tracks to driving hard rock. It embraces the blues, rock and country roots that have always been present in his unique sound that has generated the sale of over 15 million records worldwide for CINDERELLA. Rolling Stone praised Keifer as "a gritty, bluesy (rocker) with enough genuine swagger to draw comparisons to Mick Jagger."
"The Flower Song", the album's first single, will be serviced to AAA radio stations nationwide on February 4, while "Solid Ground" will be serviced to all rock formats on March 11.
"The Way Life Goes" is a raw, introspective look at the roller coaster ride that has been Keifer's life for the past 15 years. From being told that he would never sing again as a result of a partially paralyzed left vocal cord, to the emotional and personal battles that followed, his solo debut is a story of perseverance, a testament to the power of passion and will, when combined with a true love of music.
In touring news, Keifer will launch his first-ever solo tour on February 9 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina at Ziggy's. The 14-city trek of small, intimate rooms is an up-close and personal preview of songs from "The Way Life Goes" along with some CINDERELLA classics. Dates beyond February 28 are currently in the works.
Keifer recently spoke with HuffingtonPost.com about "The Way Life Goes". "The idea for a solo record started in the Nineties when the band parted ways and we left Universal," he said. "There was just a changing of the guard in the industry at that time and I started thinking about a solo record. I wrote for it for many years and the songs just kept going on the pile and I never got around to actually making a record... We started cutting tracks for this record in 2003 and I went to the pile of songs that had been building up and picked some that I liked and I've just been working on it ever since. It was produced independently of a label, because the idea from the beginning was to just work and record until I was happy with it. I wrote with a lot of different people — my wife, Savannah, who's a great writer, co-wrote a lot of the songs on the record and also co-produced the record with me, and a good friend of ours, Chuck Turner, who's a great engineer and producer. So from the beginning, the attitude was, 'Let's have fun and just make a great record and it'll be done when it's done.' Little did we know it'd be nine years later… it's done and we went through some crazy stuff and mixed and remixed and reworked things over and over and probably made a lot of mistakes along the way, but finally got it where we were all happy with it, so here it is."
"The Way Life Goes" track listing:
01. Solid Ground
02. A Different Light
03. It's Not Enough
04. Cold Day In Hell

I like that Hover, it touched my sense of humour !!
Thank G.d. LOL. I thought I was going to get kicked for making fun of Religion. Some people can be very sensitive about this.
Crazy, firm believers in religious teachings can be very easily offended and that was by no means my intention, so I thought I might be an idea to smooth any ensuing waves.
I find nothing wrong with poking a little fun at the mass stupidity that has caused more death and destruction over the course of humanity than any war or plague put together. So if someone doesent like it, they can go and pray on it.
Who murdered the most people in the Bible?
Moses came down from his magic mountain carrying a list of instructions, one of which read, "Thou shalt not kill."
The very first thing he did afterwards was to wipe out everyone who did not string along with him.
I don't think its offensive. All good humor has truth in it.

The Real Deal: Shahab Karmely and Alex von Furstenberg buy Miami River parcel, plan new restaurant
By Lombardi Properties
Posted Monday, Jul 25, 2016
Shahab Karmely and Alex von Furstenberg just paid $5.4 million for a property on the Miami River once owned by Mary Brickell, with plans to launch a new restaurant with entertainment and event space, The Real Deal has learned. The partners closed on the 18,000 square foot River Arts Building property at 131 Northwest South River Drive on Wednesday, Karmely, founder and principal of New York-based KAR Properties, told TRD. The site has 200 feet of river frontage and 10 boat slips, and currently houses three vacant properties: a single-story, 2,441 square foot warehouse; a two-story, 2,225 square foot townhouse; and a 1,382-square-foot office building.
Thomas Conway of Conway Commercial Real Estate brokered the deal. The property, on the south side of the river and across from Lummus Park, is less than a mile away from Karmely's planned One River Point, a 60-story luxury condominium designed by architect Rafael Viñoly that will be built along the Miami River. "I love Miami, I love the river," Karmely told TRD. "I've been saying for two years that the river becomes activated when you put in restaurants and points of interest to visit, instead of boat yards, and this is what has happened."
Indeed, the Miami River is spilling over with an influx of new projects, including new restaurants, retail, offices and residential developments. In addition to One River Point, Chetrit Group and Ari Pearl are planning to build a mixed-used project that includes four towers, a hotel, shops, restaurants, and a public river walk with boat slips. Karmely has been zeroing in on South Florida during the past few years, buying more than $100 million of real estate in Hallandale and Wynwood as well as along the Miami River. He began amassing properties along the river in 2013, first paying $27.5 million for a 1.8-acre property at 24 Southwest Fourth Street that was the site of two failed condo projects. He then added two more adjacent river parcels totaling 3 acres for a combined purchase price of $33.1 million.
Von Furstenberg is also fond of Miami, Karmely said. His wife is from Miami and he wants to do more projects here, Karmely said. Von Furstenberg, the son of fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, already has another tie to Miami. His trust is the part owner of the Setai Miami Beach trademark. "I am excited about Miami's future and this is hopefully the first of many projects partnering with Shahab and his team," von Furstenberg said in a statement.
Karmely said he and von Furstenberg will renovate the existing buildings to convert them into restaurant, entertainment and event spaces. They plan to bring in as-yet-unnamed "well-known" restaurateur to operate the dockside eatery, which will have an Italian and Mediterranean concept, and will be fashioned along the lines of the River Yacht Club. The as-yet unnamed restaurant will likely open by the end of the year. "We'd love to do some events around Art Basel," Karmely said. "It's synergistic with our project…." he added. "I love the river and I really believe the future of Miami is the river. I'm putting my money where my mouth is."

DUI & DWI - Brian McCaffrey | Attorney At Law, P.C.Brian McCaffrey | Attorney At Law, P.C.
In New York, Driving While Intoxicated and Driving Under the Influence are very serious crimes that carry with it, not only the prospect of jail time but also may affect your ability to drive ever again. The risk of heavy financial penalties, points on your driving record, time in jail and more make working with an attorney after a DWI arrest a necessity.
Drivers in New York have faced a crackdown in recent years, mainly attributed to the Mayor's Vision Zero plan. While the objective of keeping people safe is laudable, it is equally important to ensure that people are treated fairly. There are many reasons that make getting proper legal help after being arrested for an impaired driving offense in New York important.
If you have been arrested or charged with a drinking and driving offense, Brian McCaffrey Attorney at Law, P.C. can help. Call us at (718) 480-8280 for a free consultation.


State Senator Cathy Osten (D-Sprague) praised the Education Committee's unanimous and bipartisan passage today of House Bill 7254, which would require teachers applying for certain certifications to study the detection of dyslexia in students.
The bill, which is based on language introduced earlier this session by Sen. Osten, is the last in a series of four dyslexia-related bills that Sen. Osten has helped write and pass into law in Connecticut over the past few years. It still must be approved by the House and Senate and signed into law by the governor.
HB 7254 requires teachers who are applying for any professional certification that has a comprehensive special education or integrated early childhood and special education endorsement to complete a program of study in the diagnosis and remediation of reading and language arts. That program has to include supervised practicum hours and instruction in the detection and recognition of—and evidence-based structured literacy interventions for—students with dyslexia.
PUBLIC ACT 14-39, which added dyslexia as a 'primary disability' on state education forms for an Individualized Education Program (IEP).
PUBLIC ACT 15-97, which added dyslexia to in-service teacher professional development, and required the state Education Department to develop a reading assessment for use by local school boards to help identify students at risk for dyslexia.
PUBLIC ACT 16-92, which required anyone after July 1, 2017 who is applying for a remedial reading, remedial language arts or reading consultant endorsement on their teaching certificate to complete a program of study focusing on literacy interventions for students with dyslexia.

Valued Merchant Services operates out of Idaho Falls, Idaho, and was formed in 2006. They provide the standard merchant services one would expect, like card processing, electronic check conversion, gift and loyalty programs, ecommerce merchant services and more.
One of the best things about Valued Merchant Services is that they use First Data processing services. As one of the biggest transaction processing firms in the world, First Data is a name trusted when it comes to merchant credit card processing services. Moreover, the rates that Valued Merchant Services offers seem to be comparable to some of the cheapest online merchant services, which can save your business some cash. All in all, Valued looks like one of the strongest ISO merchant services that we reviewed.
The contracts that Valued Merchant Services seems to offer are all long term arrangements. This can be a turn-off for some merchants who may want greater flexibility in their merchant services options. Moreover, a number of customer reviews indicated that Valued Merchant Services also has some steep early termination fees that were not disclosed by the sales agents. This may have something to do with the use of third-party sellers to obtain customers, or it may have been individual sales agents, but it is also possible that this is representative of Valued Merchant Services company culture, which can be a big red flag. They have a few complaints online regarding customer service issues, but these should be expected for any large company, much less a large merchant services company.
Valued Merchant Services are an interesting option for many customers. If you're willing to sign a long term contact and don't think that you can get a better rate working with another seller, or working directly with First Data, then they are worth looking into.

OpenAIRE - Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe
Project website: OpenAIRE
Principal Investigator: Michael Hatzopoulos
Duration: 01/12/2009 - 30/11/2012
OpenAIRE aims to support the implementation of Open Access in Europe. It provides the means to promote and realize the widespread adoption of the Open Access Policy, as set out by the ERC Scientific Council Guidelines for Open Access and the Open Access pilot launched by the European Commission.
OpenAIRE, a three-year project, will establish the infrastructure for researchers to support them in complying with the EC OA pilot and the ERC Guidelines on Open Access. It will provide an extensive European Helpdesk System, based on a distributed network of national and regional liaison offices in 27 countries, to ensure localized help to researchers within their own context. It will build an OpenAIRE portal and e-Infrastructure for the repository networks and explore scientific data management services together with 5 disciplinary communities. It will also provide a repository facility for researchers who do not have access to an institutional or discipline-specific repository.
OpenAIRE's three main objectives are to:
build support structures for researchers in depositing FP7 research publications through the establishment of the European Helpdesk and the outreach to all European member states through the operation and collaboration of 27 National Open Access Liaison Offices;
establish and operate an electronic infrastructure for handling peer-reviewed articles as well as other important forms of publications (pre-prints or conference publications). This is achieved through a portal that is the gateway to all user-level services offered by the e-Infrastructure established, including access (search and browse) to scientific publications and other value-added functionality (post authoring tools, monitoring tools through analysis of document and usage statistics);
work with several subject communities to explore the requirements, practices, incentives, workflows, data models, and technologies to deposit, access, and otherwise manipulate research datasets of various forms in combination with research publications.

I just went outside to get the mail and it is cold….brrrrrr….cold!!! So to help me warm up, I went straight to my calendar to see how many more days until we leave for Aruba!! But then that got me thinking, we need new luggage. I am a 99% online shopper and since finding csn/stores.com, I know I will get quality items. I have been browsing the Delsey luggage department and what an assortment there is. Different sizes, weights brands, sets, garment bags, carry on, accessories, etc. etc. So many to choose from….this is not going to be easy…but will let you know….to be continued…..
I love CSN! They have so many products and their prices are great! Plus, free shipping!!
Please order a suitcase large enough to pack me into. I want to go too!!!!!

"When can I play again, Doc?" is the emotionally charged, quintessential question asked by nearly every athlete after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Invariably, the same question is one of the first asked by parents, team mates, coaches, and—in the case of the high profile athlete—the media. This implies that, to meet the expectations of the athlete and his/her surroundings, swift surgical intervention and accelerated rehabilitation becomes a priority. Therefore it is not surprising if the time to return to play is the standard by which orthopaedic surgeons measure themselves and are measured in sports circles.
Measured by this standard, sports medicine has made giant advances in ACL treatment programmes during the previous decades. We have progressed from open surgery to arthroscopic surgery, from extended casting to short term bracing, from conservative to accelerated rehabilitation programmes, and from long hospital stays to outpatient surgery. When an athlete is injured today, it is expected that arthroscopic surgery will take place a few weeks after injury, that rehabilitation is started immediately, and that the patient is able to return to sport in four to nine months. The "best" surgeons and physiotherapists are rumoured to return players even sooner.
Lost in the need to succeed and with the fear of defeat deeply embedded in our decision making processes, it is no wonder that we rarely ask: "Is it time to quit? Is it safe to return patients to pivoting sports? What are the long term results of our treatment programmes? Are there other criteria whereby we should measure treatment outcome than the time to return to sport?" Should we not consider the risks of a graft rupture or additional knee lesions and the likelihood of the development of early osteoarthritis (OA) when advising the athlete after the initial injury.
To better address these issues, we have searched the literature for follow up studies after ACL injury examining the rate of return to sport, the reinjury risk, and/or the prevalence of OA (see table 1 for details on search terms and procedures). We have included studies of patients treated non-operatively or with reconstructive surgery who have been followed from 4 to 14 years after the initial injury.
For athletes who wish to return to pivoting sports, the typical advice is an ACL reconstruction after 4–8 weeks when full range of motion is established and there is no joint swelling.1–3 The purpose of an ACL reconstruction is to give the athlete a mechanically stable knee and to reduce the risk of subsequent injury to the menisci and cartilage by reducing anteroposterior joint motion.4 A number of short term studies have shown good to excellent knee function after reconstruction, whether hamstrings5–7 or patellar tendon8 grafts are used.7 The same studies also confirm that most patients (65–88%) are able to return to sport within the first year. Thus it is fair to state that surgery is effective in allowing injured athletes to resume their sports career.
Nevertheless, a few studies may be of particular interest, because they follow sports specific patient populations and report data on patients treated with and without surgery. Also, these studies mainly include elite athletes who can be assumed to be well motivated to continue their sports career. Thus the data may provide a realistic estimate of what to expect after returning to sport after injury. Myklebust et al9 found in a 6–11 year follow up of ACL injured team handball players that 58% of the reconstructed players and 82% of the conservatively treated patients were able to return to their preinjury level.
In the 10–13 year follow up study with a mixed sport population, Fink et al13 found a 44% reduction in high risk sports participation in the surgically treated group compared with a 70% reduction among the conservatively treated. In the longest follow up to date, von Porat et al14 showed that, after 14 years, 6% in the operatively treated group and 1% in the conservatively treated group were still playing soccer. However, from these studies it is not possible to determine whether the players retired because of the injury or whether the retirement rate was higher than can be expected. Clearly, athletes may quit for reasons unrelated to their knee injury.
One of the potential concerns with returning to sport is that the reinjury rate to the reconstructed ACL or to other structures (menisci, cartilage, or other ligaments)15,16 may be unacceptably high.17 Only few studies have examined reinjury risk, and they report a wide range of rerupture rates ranging from 2.3% to 13% (table 1).18–20 The highest ACL rerupture risk (13%) was found by Myklebust et al9 in their study of team handball players. However, one reason for the high risk seen in this study may be that team handball in itself is a high risk sport. Six of the 50 players who returned to team handball (9%) experienced an ACL tear in their contralateral, previously uninjured knee during the observation period.9 A similar reinjury rate was reported by Drogset and Grøntvedt,21 who found that 12% of their patients suffered a reinjury during an eight year follow up period, all during pivoting sports.
However, these results, as well as studies reporting lower rerupture rates, must be interpreted with caution. Firstly, the population at risk is not known, because it clearly depends on the proportion returning to sport and the number of years they continued to play. Secondly, bias must be considered when there is a significant loss to follow up as is evident in most of the studies. Thus, we do not know if there is an increased risk of reinjury to the reconstructed ACL compared with a healthy knee, nor do we know the rate of meniscus or cartilage injury associated with return to sport. Nevertheless, it is clear that nearly all of the reruptures reported in the papers shown in table 1 occurred while pivoting sports were being played.
Further damage to the knee with continued sports participation is of course also a concern in non-operatively treated patients. Myklebust et al9 showed that 22% of the non-operatively treated players who returned to sport underwent additional surgery for an injured meniscus compared with 12% in the operatively treated players. Returning to pivoting sport without a reconstruction results in considerable risk of injury to the menisci and cartilage.
Using the rate of return to sports or even the reinjury risk as measures of treatment success may be grossly misleading. An ACL injury entails a significant risk of OA,22 and it may be that the initial injury itself is an important determinant of the development of OA, no matter what treatment is used or how the knee is loaded during subsequent years.
Figure 1 shows the risk of developing radiological signs of OA with time after an ACL injury. After 10 years, approximately half of the patients display signs of OA. An extrapolation of these results indicates that nearly all patients will have OA after 15–20 years. A recent study showed that all athletes undergoing revision ACL surgery had OA when they were re-examined 37 (12–58) months after the reoperation30 (because this study includes patients with two or more ACL injuries, it could not be included in fig 1 or table 1). It seems that a high frequency of radiographic changes is the rule rather than the exception after ACL injury.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) follow up studies and osteoarthritis (OA) prevalence. OA risk after both reconstructive surgery with bone-patella-tendon-bone graft or hamstring graft and non-operative treatment is shown. The dashed line indicates the forced regression (y = 6.0 t; r = 0.85) between time (t) and OA prevalence (y), with the 95% confidence intervals shown by thin solid lines. Follow up studies describing partial ACL ruptures or reconstructive surgery with sutures only are omitted.
These findings raise two important questions. Firstly, is there a difference in the risk of OA between surgically treated and non-operatively treated patients? Unfortunately, there are no prospective trials in which patients have been randomised to a reconstruction or non-operative treatment. In the three follow up studies that include surgically and non-operatively treated patients there may be a selection bias, which makes it difficult to interpret the results. Nevertheless, as shown in fig 1, the prevalence of OA does not seem to depend on whether an ACL reconstruction was performed or not. von Porat et al14 reported 78% OA prevalence in both groups after 14 years, Fink et al13 78% v 83% after 10–13 years, and Myklebust et al9 42% v 46% after 6–11 years. Thus there is no evidence to suggest that ligament reconstruction prevents future OA.
The second question is: is there an increased risk of OA in athletes who return to sports compared with those who choose to retire? For obvious reasons, there is no study in which athletes have been randomised to continued sports participation or early retirement. Furthermore, although it would have been interesting to compare OA prevalence between athletes who chose to retire and those who continued to play, these data have not been reported in the available studies. Therefore there is an urgent need to establish large prospective studies to follow cohorts of athletes with ACL injury. Using a multivariate approach, it will then be possible to assess the independent effects of treatment methods, associated injuries to the menisci and cartilage at the time of injury, graft choice, reinjuries, and continued sports participation, to mention a few factors that could be important for the development of early OA.
In 1970 Kennedy stated that "the ACL is the most common cause of the ex-athlete."31 In other words, the treatment offered at the time did not permit athletes to go back to sport. This is no longer the case, at least in the short term, thanks to major advances in surgical treatment and rehabilitation programmes. As shown above, most elite athletes are initially able to resume their sports career. However, the data also show that the retirement rate may be higher among athletes with a previous ACL injury compared with healthy athletes. Furthermore, it is apparent that there is a significant risk of reinjury to the graft, as well as the menisci and cartilage with continued sports participation. Finally, there are convincing data to show that nearly all patients will develop OA with time.

Bingo's Investor Presentation
Integration of Dial-a-Dump
BINGO (ASX: BIN) was founded as a family run skip business company in Western Sydney operating with a diminutive inventory of 4 trucks and 100 bins. In 2005 BINGO was bought by the Tartak family and by 2014 BINGO had expanded to a fleet of 65 trucks, opened a dedicated recycling centre in Mortdale and a new focus within the Commercial and Industrial (C&I) market. Today BINGO is listed in the ASX 200, operating in both NSW and VIC with a total fleet of 254 trucks across both states.
Back in August of last year, BINGO announced its intention to acquire fully integrated NSW waste and recycling business Dial-a-Dump Industries (DADI) for $577.5 Million. On February 28th of this year, BINGO received ACCC approval regarding BINGO's undertaking to divest its Banksmeadow post-collections facility with the formal acquisition completed in March of this year.
Dial-a-Dump Industries is a fully integrated recycling and waste management service provider in NSW, with operations across the waste value chain from collections, to recycling, landfill and recycled product sales. The acquisition includes its Genesis Transfer Station in Alexandria, Genesis Waste Facility (landfill, materials processing facility, and recycled products processing facility) at Eastern Creek and a collections fleet of 55 vehicles. BINGO's acquisition of DADI has proven to be a catalyst for a major network reconfiguration with the purpose of enhancing the operational efficiency of BINGO's strategic waste infrastructure assets.
One of the key issues for the ACCC in deciding to allow BINGO to proceed with their acquisition was the perceived loss of competition within the building and demolition waste processing sector in Sydney's eastern suburbs and the inner-city. DADI owns a large dry landfill at Eastern Creek and BINGO owns a site in Patons Lane, and with strengthening focus worldwide on more sustainable waste management, approval for new dry landfills is becoming increasingly harder to obtain. On top of this, proposed closings of other Sydney dry waste landfills have elevated the ACCC's concerns regarding BINGO's market share of B&D waste management within Sydney.
"The transaction raised a number of significant concerns. Ultimately, we have concluded that the proposed acquisition, taking into consideration the divestiture undertaking, would be unlikely to substantially lessen competition in any market," ACCC Chair Rod Sims said.
With the court-enforceable proposed divestment of BINGO's Broadsmeadow processing facility, the ACCC ruled to allow BINGO to proceed with their acquisition.
Integration of DADI commenced in March and is progressing at the expected rate, with full integration proposed by March 2021. BINGO's 3-month integration update illustrates a seamless transition from "acquisition mode to integration mode", instils further confidence in their integration of pricing targets.
Daniel Tartak, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of BINGO Industries states: "Our acquisition of DADI will not only be transformational for BINGO, but also for recycling in the greater Sydney region… Our development of a Recycling Ecology Park at Eastern Creek will allow us to process and recycle every type of waste, accelerate our vertical integration and compete more effectively with the larger local and international players".
The excitement surrounding BINGO's growth is not completely unfounded. Whilst the aforementioned increasing global focus on a more sustainable world and the increasing dangers of climate change would place traditional waste management companies in need of serious re-evaluation, it has alternatively allowed BINGO to become an industry leader as a result of its heavy focus on sustainability. BINGO's sustainability framework outlines the importance of BINGO's objective to operate at the highest standards within the industry. Additionally, through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs such as the Pink BINGO trucks, BINGO has raised in excess of $700,000 for the NSW Cancer Council and the McGrath Foundation.
At the opening of the market BINGO shares were trading at $2.25, as of 11 am shares are up 1.11%, with a high of $2.31.
In summary, the ongoing integration of DADI into BINGO industries not only provides a very stronghold of the waste management market share within the Greater Sydney region, but it also allows for further development of sustainable waste management, and to further BINGO's vision of a "waste-free Australia".

If you're starting from the beach café car park, turn right out of the car park onto the lane and follow it to reach the small car park at the start of the walk. Opposite Smugglers Rest, go through the kissing gate in the bottom-left corner of the car park and climb the steps. Follow the path until it meets a wide grassy path and turn right onto this, following it to a gap in the hedge.
In 1922 the French Trawler "Marguerite" lost her bearings and went aground in a southwesterly gale. The boat was equipped with a radio and sent an SOS signal saying it had run aground on Eddystone Reef. The Looe lifeboat was launched and began the long row out to Eddystone. In fact the trawler was so far off course that it was on the rocks of Talland Bay, but the crew could not see the land through the thick drizzly mist. About half an hour later the trawler was spotted and a motorised fishing boat was sent to tow the lifeboat back to Talland Bay. Once in Talland Bay, the lifeboat was released. By now, the trawler was up on the rocks with a huge sea breaking over her. The coxwain of the lifeboat used the lifeboat's anchor in the marine equivalent of a "handbrake turn" to keep the lifeboat afloat whilst bringing it alongside the trawler on the rocks and was able to rescue all 21 of the crew.
It is said that as the tide receded, the locals thought it a shame that the 50 tonnes of fish aboard the ship might go to waste and despite a guard being placed on the shore to protect the property, managed to creep in from the seaward side without the guard noticing. However, when they arrived, they found that the boat's acetylene lamps had spilled their calcium carbide (used to generate the actylene) into the fish hold, contaminating the fish. In fact, the heat generated by carbide reacting with the water on the wet fish may have cooked them.
Follow the path through the gap and continue to a kissing gate. Going through (or around) this and follow the path to reach a gate with a National Trust sign for Hendersick.
Go through the gate and follow the path through one more gate to reach a waymark beside a rock outcrop.
Hawthorn berries have been used to make jellies as they contain pectin. However the seeds in hawthorn berries should be avoided as they contain a compound called amygdalin, which is cyanide bonded with sugar. In the gut this is converted to hydrogen cyanide.
At the waymark, continue ahead along the coast to reach another gate.
Go through the gate and follow the path to reach another gate on the other side of the field.
Go through the gate and follow the path up the steps, past a waymark and down the other side to where a small path departs from the right to a wooden gate.
A flight of steps leads from the gate to the beaches of Portnadler Bay. At the western end is Hendersick beach, which is composed of sand and shingle, with some areas of rock. The small, rocky beach at the eastern (Looe) end of the bay is known as Old Mills Cove. The bay is sheltered both by the headland and Looe Island which makes it a good spot for swimming. There are extensive reefs stretching all the way to Looe Island and Hannafore Point, and to Talland Bay in the other direction, so it's also a good spot for snorkelling. At low tide, the exposed reefs host a number of rockpools.
Keep ahead on the coast path to reach a gate. Go through this and continue along the path, crossing a footbridge at the bottom of a flight of steps to reach a kissing gate.
Looe Island has been inhabited since the Iron Age. Roman coins, pieces of Amphora and stone boat anchors all point to continued habitation and possibly trade before the Dark Ages. From the 13th to the 16th Centuries, the island was known as St Michael's Island, and after 1584 it became known as St George's Island. In 1965 the island was bought by two sisters who lived there for the rest of their lives. The island was left to the Cornwall Wildlife Trust who now manage it as a nature reserve.
Go through the gate and keep right on the path along the hedge to reach another kissing gate.
There is a mediaeval legend that Jesus visited Looe Island, with his uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, who traded with the Cornish Tin traders. Consequently, many early Christians made pilgrimages to Looe Island and a small thatched-roofed chapel was built here. The legend is not quite as far-fetched as it sounds as a fragment of an earthenware amphora was found on the island, originating in the Eastern Mediterranean and dating from around the time of Christ, which provides some evidence that there were trading links between Looe and the Middle East. Excavations by the BBC's "Time Team" found remains of Romano-British chapels built of wood with dating evidence that suggested use by Christians before the reign of Constantine the Great in 272 AD.
Go through the gate and cross the field to the kissing gate next to the farm gate in the middle of the fence.
The small beach is known as Samphire Beach, which is composed of coarse sand and shingle and has a few rock pools. It can be reached via some steps leading from a stile in the bottom corner of the fence on the opposite side of the field.
Rock Samphire has been a popular wild food since Celtic times. It was very popular as a pickle in 16th century Britain until it almost died out from over-picking in the 19th Century. Consequently, it's currently a protected plant but is now making a good comeback. In Shakespeare's time, a rope was tied to a child's ankles and he was dangled over the cliff to pick the rock samphire that grew in crevices and clefts in the rocks.
The completely unrelated but similar-looking Golden Samphire also grows around the North Cornish coast. The leaves look almost identical, but the daisy-like yellow flowers in summer are a giveaway, as Rock Samphire has tiny green-white flowers that look more like budding cow parsley. Golden Samphire is edible, but is inferior in flavour to Rock Samphire; it is also nationally quite rare in Britain.
Go through the gate and follow the path across the field to meet the fence on your right. Follow along the fence to reach a kissing gate leading onto a road.
A path also leads up to the remains of Lamanna Chapel, located roughly in the middle of the top hedge of the field.
During the Dark Ages, the sea crossing to the chapel on the island resulted in quite a lot of drowned pilgrims, so Lammana Monastery was built on the mainland. It is thought to have been in existence by the 6th Century and grew into a Benedictine Priory and Chapel. It still maintained a chapel on the island which was occupied by two Benedictine Monks until 1289.
Go through the gate and follow the pavement in the direction signposted to Looe. Continue until the pavement ends at the Hannafore Point Hotel.
The foreshore along Hannafore Point is popular with wading birds such as egrets and herons.
The grey heron is an unmistakably massive bird with a 6ft wingspan and is most commonly seen in or near freshwater. The call of the heron is equally unsubtle - it is more like grating metal than the sound of birdsong. Although herons primarily eat fish, they will eat frogs, rodents, moles, ducklings and even baby rabbits! In Tudor and Elizabethan times, hunting herons with peregrine falcons was considered a royal sport which resulted in the birds being protected from peasants who might otherwise have caught and roasted them.
Join the green pedestrian lane and follow this until it ends at a black signpost with a coast path sign and a flight of steps down to the quay.
The Banjo Pier was created by Joseph Thomas in the late 19th Century as the previous pier wasn't effective at stopping the river silting up. Thomas worked out that a circular pier head would hold the sand back and was so confident in his design that he refused payment until it was built and proven effective. The Looe pier has become the prototype for other banjo piers around the world.
Go down the steps and follow the quay upriver. When you reach the shops, pass to the right of the triangular Quayside Centre and continue following the river until you reach a large slipway opposite Looe Social Club.
A scarred, one-eyed grey bull seal, who was consequently named Nelson, was a familiar sight in the harbours of South Cornwall for over 25 years. He eventually made Looe Island his home and lived there for over 20 years, and was popular with both locals and holidaymakers. After he died in 2003, the life-size bronze sculpture was created as a memorial which now overlooks Looe Harbour from the Pennyland Rocks.
Bear left to join the pavement alongside the road, then continue following this alongside the river to pass through the arch beneath the bridge.Under the arch, bear right beneath the pillars to a walkway along the river. Follow this a short distance until it ends in a left hand bend leading onto a lane.
The name Looe is from the Cornish word logh (meaning sea lake, similar to the Scottish word) and on 17th Century maps the name still appears as "Low" or "Lowe". East Looe and West Looe originated as separate towns. East Looe is the older of the two and by 1310, Looe had five ships in the wine trade with Bordeaux. There are still a number of mediaeval buildings in the old town. By 1411, the two towns had been joined by the earliest estuary bridge in Cornwall, which was recorded as having 14 arches in 1698. The bridge was replaced in 1853 by the current one which is about a hundred metres further upstream than the original.
Turn right onto the lane and follow it to the library. Cross the road and car park to the lake and turn left onto the path around the edge to reach the small jetty.
The Old Mill gift centre was the location of a tidal mill, known as Polvellan, first built in 1621. The name is from the Cornish words pol and melyn meaning "mill pool". The mill pool on the edge of the car park today is a small remnant of the original which extended for 13 acres and was surrounded by a high wall. The mill, which had 4 waterwheels, was initially used to grind corn for brewing and was last used in the 19th Century for grinding bones to make bonemeal.
From the jetty, continue following the path around the lake to reach the river, then turn left to follow the path upstream until you reach a slipway.
Kingfishers can occasionally be seen, zipping up and down the river
Kingfishers are found near slow-moving or still water where they dive to catch fish, as their name implies, but it also eats many aquatic insects, ranging from dragonfly nymphs to water beetles.
The Kingfisher is able to switch between light receptors in the main central area of its eye and a forward-facing set when it enters water, allowing it to judge distances accurately underwater. It is estimated that a female needs to eat over twice her own body weight in order to increase her condition sufficiently for egg laying.
The unmistakable metallic blue and orange birds fly fast and low over the surface of the water so may only be apparent as a blue flash. The pigment in their feathers is actually brown but the microstructure of their features results in light interference patterns which generate the brilliant iridescent blue and orange colours. Unfortunately the result, during Victorian times, was that kingfishers were extensively killed for display in glass cases and for use in hat making. The population has since recovered and is now limited by the availability of suitable waterways.
Follow the path from the other side of the slipway, uphill towards the woods to reach a wooden signpost just before the Kilminorth Woods sign.
Kilminorth Wood is the largest area of sessile oak woodland in this part of Cornwall. A Local Nature Reserve was created in 1993 and is owned by Cornwall Council. A local group, known as the Friends of Kilminorth Woods, promote the conservation and improvement of the woods and its use for education and recreation. The woodland is classified as ancient and contains other broadleaf species including beech and chestnut. The woodland bordering the West Looe River provides a habitat for an array of wildlife including birds and mammals.
Turn left and follow the track through the gate (or go over the stile if the gate is shut). Continue along the track until you reach a public footpath signpost.
Many of trees forming the canopy over the track are beech.
Compared to many native trees, the beech colonised Great Britain relatively recently, after the last Ice Age around 10,000 years ago. Beech trees can live up to 400 years.
Turn right up the steps and follow the path until you reach a junction of paths at a bench.
The bank on your left is the Giant's Hedge and the path runs along a ditch that accompanied the bank.
The Giant's Hedge is the remains of a wall from the Dark Ages which runs for ten miles from Looe to Lerryn. In some places it is still twelve feet high and it was recorded as being 16 feet high in Victorian times. Where it is best preserved, it is stone-faced and has a ditch running alongside. It is thought that it marked and defended the border of a Cornish Kingdom, which was otherwise surrounded by water from the River Fowey to the West Looe River.
Turn left at the junction and follow the path to another junction. Keep ahead at this one and follow the path to pass through a gap in an embankment. Then follow along the embankment, keeping it on your left, to reach a stile.
The woodland includes chestnut trees - the husks may be visible on the path near the embankment in September and October.
Chestnuts contain very little fat and are in many ways more similar to a cereal than other nuts, containing principally starch and sugars. They are consequently much less calorific: the kernels contain around a third of the calories of a similar weight of other nuts.
Cross the stile and head straight up the field, heading for the brow of the hill. As you reach the top of the field, head to the gateway in the top hedge roughly 20 metres to the right of the corner in the hedge.
Go through the gateway on the right and head straight across the field to a gap between the taller trees on the skyline.
On a clear day you can see Caradon Hill across the fields to the right.
Caradon Hill has a 371 metre summit and the name is thought to originate from the Cornish word car for fort. The slopes are dotted with the remains of engine houses and the area was once famous for its copper mines, which were discovered relatively late in Cornwall's mining history. In an account documented in the early 20th Century, the area was described:
On Saturday nights after pay-day, the populous villages of Caradon Town, Pensilva, Minions and Crows Nest were crowded with men, and resembled in character the mining camps of Colorado and the Far West.
Go through the gateway and turn right. Follow the sunken track to a gatepost with a waymark then follow the fence, keeping it on your left, to reach an opening in the trees in the corner of the field.
The hilltop on the right is surrounded by a stone-faced hedge. During Victorian times it was recorded as a prehistoric settlement. However, the stone walling is thought to have been built after the mediaeval period which casts doubt over this, although the walls could have re-used existing earthworks. The enclosed field is known as and recorded as "The Warren", so one theory is that the walled enclosure could have been for keeping rabbits.
Go through the opening and follow the track, passing around a bend to the right to reach a wooden gate. Continue through this along a path to reach a lane.
Turn left onto the lane and follow it uphill, around a bend to the left and continue until it ends at a crossroads with the main road, with a "Welcome to Looe" sign.
Cross the road to the lane opposite with a Waylands Farm sign. Follow the lane until you reach a kissing gate ahead with a large sign for Tencreek and a Public Footpath sign alongside.
Go through the kissing gate and follow the right hedge through the campsite to reach a kissing gate marked with a Public Footpath sign.
Go through the kissing gate and follow along the right hedge to reach an iron kissing gate next to the field gate in the far corner of the field.
Go through the gate and follow the path parallel to the right hedge, passing to the right of the tower, to a waymarked kissing gate in the bottom-right corner.
The structures on the opposite side of the valley with white fronts are nautical measured mile markers.
Two pairs of towers, known as "measured mile markers", are set exactly one nautical mile apart and are used by ships to calculate their speed. The ship sets a steady course on a bearing perpendicular to the markers. When the two markers align, the time is noted and again at the second pair of markers. The ship then turns around and repeats the process in the opposite direction and the average of the two values is taken. Now that ships have GPS, this can be used to measure speed, but the markers are still used by some ships coming out of refit at Devonport. At night, the marker towers are illuminated so they can be seen from the sea.
Go through the gate and follow the path down to the lane. Turn right onto the lane and follow it until you reach the steps for the churchyard.
The place name Talland is from the Cornish words tal (meaning "brow") and lan (meaning "church site" or "monastic enclosure") so this is generally thought to mean something like "the holy place on the brow of the hill". A Celtic Missionary, known as St Tallanus, is said to have erected a holy altar where the altar of the current church now stands.
Bear left up the path into the churchyard, around the left side of the church and through the arch next to the church door. Keep right at the steps on the other side and follow the path to re-emerge through a gate further down the lane.
The present church dates from the 13th Century and the bell tower was originally completely detached from the church. The church was enlarged in the 14th and 15th Centuries and reconstructed in the Perpendicular Gothic style, and at this point the bell tower was joined into the church. Much of the mediaeval woodwork and carved pews from the Tudor era have survived.
Follow the lane downhill to return to the car park and complete the circular route.
Talland Bay was used in one of the largest smuggling operations of the 20th Century. In 1979, police found 1.5 tonnes of Morrocan Gold cannabis wrapped in Christmas paper and hidden in a secret underground store beneath the café's counter. In all, 30 tonnes - with a street value of over £100 million at today's prices - had been imported by the smuggling gang using a converted fishing boat. The owner of the café was jailed and only legal herbs are now used by the café's new owners.
