Experience in other countries shows that the settlement of disputes involving a mediator in most cases end in an agreement.
The creation of mediation actively and positively affects the prevention and resolution of conflicts existing practice, in various areas of law and in the area of extra-legal disputes.
Mediation in its modern sense began to develop in the second half of the XX century. First of all, in the countries of Anglo-Saxon law - United States, Australia, and then gradually began to spread in Europe.
The first attempts were made use of mediation to resolve disputes in the sphere of family relations. Subsequently, the mediation has been recognized in the resolution of a wide range of disputes, ranging from family disputes to complex multilateral conflicts in the commercial and public sector.
World practice provides many examples of legislative consolidation of mediation. The corresponding acts adopted in the United States, Austria, Germany. The European Commission has approved the Code of mediator, and the European Union issued a series of guidelines governing the activities of mediators. Model Law "On International Commercial Conciliation" was developed in 2002 the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), in a memorandum to it an overview of the legal effect and binding agreements reached during mediation, in those countries where the institution found its application.
In the article "Social modernization of Kazakhstan: Twenty Steps to a society of universal labor" President N.A. Nazarbayev instructed the government to ensure that subordinate legal aimed at the development of mediation, he also noted that it is necessary to create a structure of mediation in national and private companies.
Kazakhstan, creating the necessary infrastructure for mediation, institutionalized it in legal system, taking into account the world practice.
Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Mediation" is dispositive, which suggests a broad scope of mediation.
Concept of Legal Policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan provides for the use of private dispute settlement procedures at the stage of preparing the case for trial. According to the concept, the improvement of civil procedural law should be focused on the optimization stage of preparing the case for trial in order to ensure the rapid consideration and resolution of civil cases.
Institutions of public consent, Councils of mothers and elders of the Assembly of People of Kazakhstan play an invaluable role in the settlement and the formation of tolerant interethnic relations.

If you're an attorney, paralegal, or are otherwise employed by a law firm, you no doubt want to hire the best court reporters you can find to handle your deposition, meeting, court appearance, or other legal proceeding. After all, court reporters play a critical role in the legal process by keeping a record of what has transpired. Sometimes a stenographer is employed; a stenographer creates a written transcript of the proceeding as it is occurring. Other times, the deposition or other proceeding is digitally recorded and a transcript is produced later.

For over 20 years, we have excelled at meeting and exceeding the expectations of our clients, providing them with accurate, easily accessible transcripts of depositions, court appearances, and other types of legal hearings.

Certified Court Reporters
Legal Videographers
Streaming Depositions
E-Transcripts
RealTime Reporting & Transcripts
Internet RealTime
LiveNote
Post-Production Services
Need assistance with your deposition or hearing? We are ready to help—anytime. Our team of certified and licensed court reporters, stenographers, interpreters, and legal videographers perform their jobs well, yet remain as unobtrusive as possible. If you believe that court reporters and stenographers are a dying breed, most observers in the legal profession think nothing could be further from the truth. That's because attempts to replace certified court reporters with digital audio and video recording technology have largely failed. That's because unsupervised recordings frequently fail, leading to missing or garbled testimony. Also, transcribing human speech—which can be charged with emotion or involve multiple voices speaking simultaneously—still requires a human touch.
At the same time, advancements in audio, video, and video conferencing technology have helped to make the work product of court reporters, stenographers, and legal videographers even more important and impactful. Meanwhile, the latest video conferencing solutions sometimes obviate the need to conduct in-person hearings and depositions, saving all interested parties time and money. And at our full-service court reporting agency, we like to think we provide the best court reporters available, not to mention the best legal videographers, stenographers, interpreters, and support staff in the business.
Online Document Repository Provides Easy Access to Deposition Transcripts California
In fact, one offering that our clients always appreciate is our online document repository, which enables you to find and access what you need for your case, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. All documents are indexed for easy identification and then logged into our online case management system. You can use the system to search for documents, download exhibits, and export deposition text with the click of a mouse. If you require physical copies of case documents or transcripts, we also provide traditional imaging and copying services.
And again, when you use us for a deposition, you receive personal technical assistance from the dedicated members of our support staff and tech support team. Our technicians will work with you to introduce you to our online document repository, and staffers are available day and night to answer any questions you may have.
Additionally, the secure online case management system features a personal online calendar, scheduling information, access to exhibits, invoices, and billing account information. Only those individuals you designate (i.e., other attorneys, paralegals, and legal secretaries, for example) have access to the materials in Santa Monica, California.
Arrange for a Professional Legal Videographer to Shoot Your Deposition | Santa Monica, CA
Of course, one of the places where technology has seen great advancements in recent years is video technology. But that doesn't mean anyone with a smartphone and a tripod should be filming your deposition videos.
Video is a powerful tool in the law, and shouldn't be left in the hands of amateurs. If you need a court reporting service to record and transcribe your deposition, make sure that it employs expert videographers with high-definition cameras that can capture the most important visual details, including positive or negative body language, facial expressions, and slight gestures. A subtle expression captured on video can be a difference maker when it comes to a courtroom argument, a conference in the judge's chambers, or a settlement negotiation.
Our legal videographers use top-of-the-line equipment and have years of experience working in a legal setting. They also work hand-in-hand with our editors, who provide post-production services like linear editing, nonlinear editing, media enhancement, audio & video duplication, and audio & video conversion to other formats (think: MPEG, DVD, CD, and VHS) in Santa Monica, CA.
Video Conferencing Solutions for Depositions | Santa Monica, CA
And for those situations when it's not possible or practical to assemble all parties in the same room at the same time, we can provide a video conferencing solution of the highest quality that enables you to take a deposition or conduct a hearing from just about anywhere in the world. So don't be constrained by geography. And don't suffer the stress of scheduling a deposition in a remote location. With our video conferencing solutions, you can cut down on travel costs, lodging costs, and other expenses, and also avoid the hassle associated with getting all parties together in the same place at the same time.
Certified Court Reporters and Interpreting Services for your Deposition in Santa Monica, California
These days, many parties to lawsuits and other legal matters come from diverse backgrounds and may not speak English as their first, second or even third language. Sometimes, this can pose problems for attorneys because it's not necessarily easy to find an interpreter who is capable of translating a particular language within the time frame in question. Depending on your circumstances, you might even need a court reporter that is prepared to work with you to provide the necessary transcription in multiple languages. This is why many of our longtime clients find this to be an increasingly valuable and oft-used part of our service.
As you can probably tell by now, we work hard to meet all of our clients' litigation support needs, whatever they may be. We believe that delivering a comprehensive court reporting service means removing language barriers. That's why we supply certified court reporters and interpreters for virtually any language or dialect you might encounter, as well as sign language for the hearing impaired. In fact, we can arrange for interpreting and translation services for over 140 different languages, including Mandarin, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Japanese, Russian, Hindi, and Arabic, among many others. In addition to being prepared to provide real-time translation of attorneys' questions, we can also provide translation services during the discovery process. So whether you need an interpreter for a local case, an international deposition, or an arbitration hearing or mediation session, we can make sure that all your needs and requirements are met.

Q: Did the Eggenberger-Pólya (1923) paper derive the negative binomial distribution with real-valued parameter? The negative binomial distribution can be derived in many ways, but two famous ones are due to Greenwood & Yule (1920) and Eggenberger & Pólya (1923). Greenwood & Yule assumed unobserved heterogeneity between individuals, and basically derived it as a Gamma-mixed Poisson. Eggenberger & Pólya, by all accounts, used an urn system to model positive contagion - i.e. after an 'event', the probability of an event increases at future trials.
Using the main ($r$, $p$) parameterisation from Wikipedia, the pmf can be written
$$P(Y = k) = {k+r-1\choose k}(1-p)^r p^k$$
When $r$ is an integer, this is sometimes called the Pascal distribution, and it comes with a nice interpretation as the number of Bernoulli($p$) trials until there are $r$ failures.
But it can be extended to real $r$ using the Gamma function:
$$P(Y = k) = \frac{\Gamma(k+r)}{k!\Gamma(r)} (1-p)^r p^k$$
When $r$ is real, this is apparently sometimes called the Pólya distribution... my question is why? Was this derived in the Eggenberger-Pólya (1923) paper?
Everything I've read seems to hint that it was, except for Johnson, Kotz & Kemp's (1993) Univariate Discrete Distributions, which only says it arises as a limiting form of the Eggenberger-Pólya urn model. An urn model suggests to me that they used integer values only, but unfortunately the paper is in German and I can't tell if they continued beyond this point to derive the real-valued version -- and I can't recognise any of the formulas as clearly being the second one above (choice of parameterisation notwithstanding).
I probably can't post the paper itself publicly; these are the details:
Eggenberger, F. and G. Pólya (1923). "Über die Statistik verketteter Vorgänge." ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik 3(4): 279-289.
DOI: 10.1002/zamm.19230030407
If anyone can read German, or knows more about the history of the negative binomial, I'd love it if you could shed some light on this for me.
Cheers!

Clown characters

Clown characters ›
The clown
The Auguste
Clown and partners
Russian clowns
American clowns
Contemporary clowns
Women Clowns
by Philippe Goudard, Wei Liang, Marisa Ribeiro Soares et Rafael Resende Marques Silva
Laughter is a universal anthropological phenomenon. Each culture has its own people who make us laugh, with different modalities and purposes. The commonalities are as numerous as the nuances between the comic's expressions.
The universal clown
Born in Europe in the 16th century, this is a global figure to be found all over the world. Alternating between refined and rustic – the clown and the Auguste – or cinematographic, several mutations have led to a more stable development. A clown can be any artist or person whose behaviour, voluntarily or unknowingly, triggers laughter. The term has even become part of everyday language: "what a clown!"
The Western clown is the expression of a culture, a state of being in the world interacting with an era, a thought, a political history. Contemporary to the emergence of private property and capitalism, the unique figure of the clown is the aesthetic result of a historical process that aligns him with the commercial and urban culture. The various expressions used today meet the needs of the cultural and entertainment industries, advertising and consumption, educational, therapeutic or social mediation. Western culture has retained the initial bipolarity of the figure, between those of the joker and the tramp.
Designable and identifiable by all, the character has a name, a behavioural pattern, a silhouette. Elegant, pale and worrying in the tradition of Joseph Grimaldi, it is most often reduced today to a red nose inherited from the congested face of the alcoholic or the peasant, the mask of the Auguste, but also from the comic strip and the cartoon. It swings between the playful or manipulative intelligence of a white clown or a fool (Francesco Caroli, Raymond Devos, the joker) and one who is made fun of for his candid ignorance. The clown then returns to childhood and its most tender, dreamlike and even metaphysical part (Buster Keaton, Charlie Rivel, Dimitri, Slava Polounine) but can also be reassuring (the Clowns Doctors, Clowns Without Borders) or attractive (Ronald MacDonald).
And last but not least, tragic or frightening, is the dominant figure of the excluded. Misfit, unsettled outsider, poor but dignified (Charlot, Yuri Nikulin, Otto Griebling) we mock him; deformed, eccentric, monstrous, he bothers us (Coluche); malevolent, we fear him (It). Antonymous with wealth, beauty and success, it is then a representation of the difference where codified stage productions provide an opportunity for integration and conjure up the anguish of an entire society: failure.
Comic roles in China: from Paiyou to Xiaochou
Several non-European cultures have also formalised the production of laughter. In China, the comic role is an essential figure in Chinese acrobatics (Zaji) and Beijing opera.
俳优 Paiyou:Zaji's comic figure
In China 杂技 (Zaji) which is translated into French as "acrobatics", refers not only to this discipline but also to a whole range of performing arts with a thousand-year history. Present since the emergence of Chinese acrobatics under the Qin dynasty (221 -206 BCE), comedy played a very important role under the Han dynasty (202 to 220 BCE), where Chinese acrobatics are a complete and varied form of entertainment art, this is the Hundred Games: ground or aerial acrobatics, juggling, dressage, and the most diverse tricks and performances: dances, fights, illusions, and comedic play.
The comic actor is called 俳优 (Paiyou), a name that means "that relieves pain". He appears during celebrations, meetings and other leisure activities. He plays for the emperor and the public, provokes laughter with ironic and buffoonish performances. He dances or tells stories to the rhythm of the drum. He is also present in the form of funeral statues, which were very popular at the time.
Ritualistic laughter
Linguist and semiologist Paul Bouissac, after forty years of field observations on professional clowns in Europe, the Americas and Asia, describes in Java the Punakawan, interrupting the ritualistic tale of Ramayana with ironic comments and idiotic jokes. He regards the art of clowning as a "secular ritual" (Bouissac, 2015, 81). Ethnologists have observed different cultures where ritualistic practices seek to produce laughter. Eric Smadja (1993, 83-123) lists them: the Brazilian Nambikwara studied by Claude Levi-Strauss, the Hopi Indians of North America by Don Talayesva, the Guayaki of Paraguay by Pierre Clastres, the Samoans by Margaret Mead, the nomad Bedouins in Arabia by Wilfred Thesiger, the Mnong of South Vietnam by Georges Condominas and the Iks in Uganda by Colin Turnbull.
Laughter priests
The Heyokas, North American Indians, are men of contrasts: they do everything backwards to heal the illnesses of their community through laughter, in dances and rituals using a logic of inversion: "A Heyoka has a strange behaviour. He says yes when he means no. He rides his horse backwards. He puts on his moccasins or boots the wrong way. In winter when the temperature drops below minus forty, he puts on a bathing suit and announces that he is going for a swim to cool down a little..."
John Fire Lame Deer (Tahca Uhste), a Lakota Indian, who translates Heyoka into English by the word clown, explains in his book: "For us, a clown (Heyoka) is a sacred, funny, powerful, ridiculous, holy, shameful, visionary being. He is all this and much more. By acting like an idiot, he is actually performing a ceremony." [John Fire Lame Deer and Richard Erdoes, De mémoire indienne : en quête d'une vision, Bénaix, Éditions Présence Image & Son, translation Jean-Jacques Roudière, 2009. p. 340].
The Hotxuás, Indians of the Krahô tribe in northern Brazil, have the task of bringing the community together with joy. They are "laughter priests" who entertain the community. They also use a behavioural inversion code. The face and sometimes the body are symbolically made up in red, black and white make-up, considered sacred, the Hotxuás represent an element of balance for the Krahô. In search of laughter in everyday life, offering the possibility of seeing life from other angles, they contribute to the social structure of the tribe, as shown in the film Hotxuá. [Cardia, Gringo and Sabatella, Letícia, Hotxuá, Brazil, 2009]
Heyokas like Hotxuas, contrary figures with a highly respected status, and clowns, officiate in their respective communities in a codified manner. They join in the transgression of the norm and invite us to enter the complex universe of the human being that is laughter.
The Trickster
The extreme media coverage of the Western model sometimes leads to the naming of singular expressions of the comedian as clowns, although they are very different in their forms or functions, because they are not intended for the production of shows. The term "sacred clowns" then refers to a phenomenon outside Europe in a way that may appear ethnocentric and that could be prevented with a more precise terminology. The connection between the clown and the Trickster is just one such example.
Paul Radin, anthropologist1, Carl Gustav Jung, psychologist and Charles Kérény, mythologist2, studied the cycle of the hero Wakdjunkaga whose function is to "play tricks" in the mythology of the Winnebago tribe in North America3. It is an expression of the archetype of the Trickster or "divine rascal", "deceiver, cheat, perfect scoundrel or congenial rogue4", which exists in many cultures and conveys representations of good and evil, of order and disorder. He is a "violator of values both creator and destroyer5" at the same time "hero and buffoon6", a "situation invertor7".
These researchers use the word "clown" to refer to this social disruptor, but without referring to the entertainment world. A certain confusion has thus crept into the search for the origins, an archetype or a mythical figure linked to the clown, who then appears as an avatar of the trickster. But this thesis is still being argued over. Paul Bouissac[2015] notes that if there are obviously some similarities between the properties and functions of the clown and those of the trickster, the "white" who plays tricks and the transgressive Auguste for example, the contemporary figure of the clown, which combines the two properties, and that of the trickster, would be avatars of the same social identity. For him, the cultural link between the trickster and the clown is pending further research, still at the speculative stage, and a stimulating hypothesis.
Cultural Coincidences
Nowadays a generic name and part of the collective imagination, the clown, like his cultural neighbours, now appears as the synthesis of what is laughable. Present in the rites or their secular transposition on stage, in the ring, on the screen and in mass communication, its function is to stimulate comedy through play in ways that are admissible and can be integrated into society as a whole. There are many similarities between different cultures.
The clown transgresses, crosses boundaries, pushes the established order, disturbs, creates disorder, turns the world upside down (Deonna, 1958). He produces an organised chaos according to a socio-cultural ritual codified in a dynamic relationship but paradoxically subordinated to religious or economic political power. The inadmissible put into play is reinstated, reinjected into what is permissible within society. Yes, if it's a codified game. No, if the transgression destroys all codes. Yes to the artist or performer playing the fool, no to the fool at all. Ctibor Turba with the clowns of Circus Alfred, or Slava Polunin with Zia, are the symbols of " everything is allowed " at the heart of political coercion.
Through their art, transgression is permitted. The buffoon becomes a hero.

It looks like we may finally get the standalone Flash film off the ground after all as DC and Warner Bros. look to finally get a director, or in the case, directors on board for the movie.
In an exclusive report by Variety, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are in talks to helm Flashpoint, the standalone Flash feature starring Ezra Miller as Barry Allen/The Flash.
According to the report, Ben Affleck was approached to direct the highly anticipated solo film but passed on the offer. He is expected to play a role in the film, reprising his incarnation of Bruce Wayne/Batman. This led to the studio approaching Daley and Goldstein. Variety speculates that this means the studio is yearning for a more comedic film, something the Flashpoint story arc for the comics is not.
The two are no strangers to the comic book movie world, having penned the script to the global MCU hit Spider-Man: Homecoming, which they were also on the shortlist to direct.
The Flash solo film has been in flux ever since being announced. Daley and Goldstein would be the third attempt at securing a director(s) for the film as Seth Gramme-Smith and Rick Famuyiwa both dropped out of the director's chair at different points during the movie's production. Since then, Joby Harold has stepped in to do a page-one re-write of the script, which has also seen several people taking a stab at it.
Executives took their time in finding a new director due to Miller, who plays the speedy superhero, preparing to shoot Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, the second installment in the Fantastic Beasts franchise.
Should Daley and Goldstein sign on to officially direct, it would not come as a shock to see Warner Bros. decide to go a different route and push the Flashpoint arc to a different Flash film. As stated, with the directing duo being approached, this could mean that DC might want a Flash film that relies more on the protagonist's comedic tendencies rather than a world-ending event that changes the fabric of the DC timeline.
Are you excited about Flashpoint getting directors? Let us know in the comments down below!

"Our focus on financial discipline and operating efficiency were major factors driving our positive results — despite very mild weather in this year's second quarter," said Gale Klappa, executive chairman.
Retail deliveries of electricity — excluding the iron ore mine in Michigan's Upper Peninsula — were down by 5.9 percent in the second quarter of 2019, compared to the second quarter of 2018.
Residential electricity use dropped by 8.9 percent and electricity consumption by small commercial and industrial customers was 5.2 percent lower. Electricity use by large commercial and industrial customers — excluding the iron ore mine — was down by 4.1 percent during the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period last year.
On a weather-normal basis, retail deliveries of electricity during the second quarter of this year — excluding the iron ore mine — decreased by 1.6 percent.
Second quarter natural gas deliveries in Wisconsin, excluding gas used for power generation, fell by 2.9 percent. On a weather-normal basis, natural gas deliveries rose by 0.7 percent.
At the end of June, the company was serving approximately 11,000 more electric customers and 23,000 more natural gas customers than at the same time a year ago.
The company is raising its earnings guidance for 2019 to a range of $3.50 to $3.53 per share with an expectation of reaching the top end of the range. This assumes normal weather for the remainder of the year.
Earnings per share listed in this news release are on a fully diluted basis.

Just as effective as the first, this Sage & Bergamot deodorant has a floral-y citrus scent for those that prefer a lighter, sweeter smell!
Did you know that antiperspirants on the market today use aluminum to clog your pores, keep you from sweating, and inhibit your body's natural process of releasing toxins? Well, I for one was growing tired of lathering aluminum all up in my armpits so I created this deodorant that is *free* from harmful chemicals to avoid putting my health at risk! And I've put it out into the world for you to try out too!
Please note that when switching to an all-natural deodorant, you may experience some detoxing resulting in a bit more body odor than you wish. But if you hang in there and let your body do it's thang to purge out all those toxins, you should be back to smelling delicious within a week! This stuff DOES work but you may have to let your body get acquainted first!
"This deodorant really works and I enjoy the packaging too."
"I bought the Sam Wish deodorant a few months ago and I LOVE IT! I work out twice a day so I need a deodorant that will get me through a workout without smelling like a man, and this stuff WORKS! Not only does it work, I smell like lavender all day. I have had multiple co-workers come up and tell me how nice I smell. I definitely recommend buying this aluminum free deodorant"
"I've never had any luck with "natural" deodorants until I used Sam Wish deo... It works... It REALLY works! It keeps you fresh all day, even on a hot, sweaty day working in the garden! I highly recommend it."
Beeswax- Forms a thin, non-allergenic barrier over the skin without clogging the pores. It helps to moisturize, soften, and heal skin tissue while protecting it from harmful environmental factors. Beeswax is also know to have antimicrobial, antioxidant, and hydrophobic properties (meaning it repels water!).
Coconut oil helps to improve skin hydration, reduce dryness, and protect the skin from UV radiation. Keeping your skin hydrated is imperative to help preserve it's barrier function to keep out bacteria, promote scar healing, and maintain overall skin integrity. The lauric acid content in coconut oil has antimicrobial properties that can aid in protecting against harmful microorganisms and the growth of bacteria that causes many types of skin infections such as acne, cellulitis, folliculitis, and athlete's foot. Coconut oil may also help relieve inflammation by improving antioxidant status, which works by stabilizing free radicals in the body and neutralizing the reactive atoms that contribute to inflammation. Studies have shown coconut oil to increase levels of collagen, an important protein that aids in wound healing while at the same time, preventing infection that could complicate the healing process. Coconut oil is essential to keep your skin healthy, moisturized, and blemish free!
Baking Soda- As a natural deodorizer, baking soda helps to absorb excess moisture and kill odor causing bacteria.
Arrowroot Powder- An all natural thickening agent to keep your deodorant in one piece! Also has moisture absorbing and anti-inflammatory properties.
Bergamot Essential Oil- Bergamot is excellent at soothing nerves and reducing nervous tension, anxiety, and stress. It can stimulate the activity of hormones that induce relaxation and sedation while also uplifting the mood. It provides skin purifying benefits with its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, it aids digestion, and can help relieve congestion and respiratory problem such as bronchitis, cough, sore throat, and respiratory infections.
Clary Sage Essential Oil- Clary sage has antibacterial and antifungal properties, helps to calm and soothe skin irritation, and supports healthy digestion. A huge benefit to clary sage is that it helps to regulate the menstrual cycle by naturally balancing hormone levels, decreasing symptoms of PMS, regulating estrogen levels and ensuring the long-term health of the uterus. It also helps with muscle fatigue and stomachaches by relaxing involuntary nerve impulses. And it is a sedative and helps alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety to aid with insomnia and sleeplessness.
Cedar Essential Oil- Is antifungal, antiseptic, and an astringent. Cedarwood has a grounding aroma that evokes feelings of wellness and vitality, and promotes relaxation.
Love this deodorant! Thanks, will be buying some again!


Aquaculture is a recent development in Pakistan. Fish farmers stock ponds with Indian carp species such as Catla, Rohu and Common carp and two Chinese carp species, Grass carp and Silver carp. Two species of trout, namely brown trout and rainbow trout are cultured in Khyber Pakhton Khuwah (KPK) and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) located in northern Pakistan.
In major parts of the country, fish farming is mainly practiced at an extensive level characterized by low per unit yield due to poor management, lack of access to quality seeds and unavailability of proper fish feed. Carp farming was first introduced as another "agriculture" activity to make use of land not suitable for agriculture and to provide people with an income. Ponds were filled with water and incoming seeds as well as additional available artificially bred seeds. Little input was and is still used except for manure. Fish are harvested after one to two years depending on the size or the owner's need for cash. The sector gained pace in the mid-eighties with two Asian Development Bank (ADB) projects which assisted in strengthening the institutional structure, with the development of hatcheries and juvenile production, model farms, transfer of technology and human resource development. The sector also received a substantial amount of government investment over the past decades for the development of aquaculture and training facilities. In spite of these efforts and of pro-active large farm owners' initiatives, fish farming has not reached an industrial outlook. The main reasons are lack of access to quality seeds as a result of genetic degradation largely influenced by practices at hatchery level, lack of fish species options, unavailability of proper fish feed and lack of backup health services. Farm owners' perceptions and lack of motivation to further invest is also an important factor. In some cases, fish farming is considered as a side activity that doesn't require much investment; while in other cases, lack of awareness and high financial cost doesn't enable farmers to foresee fish farming as a profitable opportunity. Demonstration and persuasion are required to operate a change in mentalities and practices as it will in turn condition the development of an allied industry.
An example is the fish feed mills, which so far have not represented a profitable market for investors due to little use of input. With both marine and fresh water capture fisheries almost exceeding maximum sustainable yields, the fishery national policy of Pakistan focuses on issues relating to sustainability, better exploitation strategies, reduction in post-harvest losses, value addition and conflict resolution. Fish farming is seen as a way to enhance fish supply for food security. However, implementing a viable aquaculture industry to feed its population and to stimulate economic activity remains a challenge.
The overall production cycle for the inland fish farming comprises of 8-9 months which is mainly subjected to the life/age of the seed (specie). If fresh seed is used (with an age of less than 20 days) the production cycle will take 9 months for the production of desire output. It varies respectively with the selection of fish (seed) age. Keeping in view the economical prospective, it is suggested that fish with different age may be used for different ponds.
Special consideration should be given to the location of proposed facility. It should be located in an area that is neither subject to flooding nor near to rivers. The selected location should have enough elevation so that it can easily be dried in off season. In addition, many other factors must be considered while selecting site. These factors may include availability of china clay in soil, round the year adequate water supply, road access even during the rainy season and location away from agricultural activities to avoid pesticides application and noise pollution.
The site for proposed fish farm will require proper surveying to determine the slope, bed of pond should be kept slight in slope to take advantage by allowing the water to flow as much as possible by gravity. This slope will provide water to move easily hence increase the natural oxygenation process and reduce the soil excavation due to water strike which ultimately results in the lowering of operational costs. Water distribution channels should be placed on top of the pond dikes and the drainage channels from the ponds should be kept at the lowest point of the land. Effort should be made to utilize the natural attributes of the land to minimize capital costs and to facilitate the operational efficiency.
Soil samples should be taken in account of the proposed site for analysis. These samples should be collected from the surface, middle and depth. The required lab tests are pH, soil composition (the ratio of sand to silt to clay), total dissolved salts, calcium and magnesium etc. Clay is most desirable for water retention in the fish ponds. If the soil is sandy at the surface but contains sufficient clay at an accessible depth, the sandy soil should be excavated completely, and the clay will be used for the final layers of the pond bottom and pond banks to minimize water losses.
The most appropriate pond type is the combination of both excavated/elevated ponds. If the soil has sufficient clay content, the dikes can be built from the soil that is removed during pond excavation, thus excavation costs are minimized. Elevated ponds are recommended for natural oxygenation and could be partially drained by gravity. The proposed project will be established on 8 acres of land, consisting of 7 ponds with an area of 1 acre per pond. Appropriate walkways must be designed between ponds for ease of management. Preferably a rectangular shaped pond is desirable. It should be constructed by excavation 2 to 3 feet soil and elevating for 4 to 5 feet from ground level. The crest of the embankment should be 4 to 5 feet and depth should not be more then 8 to 10 feet, having a minimum slope of 1 to 2 feet.

2013 SXSW memories and favorite photos
Musicians gather their instruments on Sixth Street on Thursday March 14, 2013, during the South by Southwest Music Festival, which had thousands of bands from around the world performing in more than 100 venues in Austin. Photos by Jay Janner/Austin American-Statesman
One minute I'm in the middle of a small mosh pit in a grungy, beer-soaked club photographing Masked Intruder, a band of four guys from Madison, WI, who wear colorful ski masks and play matching instruments.
Moments later I'm rubbing elbows with rap royalty Diddy in a backstage VIP section of the Fader Fort. Armed sheriff deputies provide security for the big shots backstage, as thousands of fans inside the packed venue cheer for more.
Quickly I rush to the other side of downtown to a 1,000-person capacity club where Prince will soon take the stage. It's the hottest ticket at SXSW, and because only one photographer was allowed in the club, I find myself on the outside looking in, literally. I stand across the street with my longest telephoto lens, and get a few photos of the R&B legend when he appears through a small window. On the sidewalk it was just me with my giant lens and few dedicated Prince fans who couldn't get into the show listening to muted sounds of 'Purple Rain' coming through the club's walls.
After four days and nights photographing some of the 2,000 bands that came from around the world, that was how the 2013 edition of SXSW ended for me. These are some of my favorite photos from the festival. — Jay Janner

Needed to send you one tiny remark to help thank you very much yet again with the extraordinary solutions you've discussed above. This has been so wonderfully open-handed of you to allow freely all a few individuals could have supplied as an electronic book to get some dough for themselves, particularly considering the fact that you might well have tried it if you ever decided. Those concepts in addition served as the great way to realize that other people online have a similar zeal just like my personal own to understand whole lot more when considering this issue. Certainly there are numerous more enjoyable moments up front for individuals that look into your blog post.

Fordham students and faculty gathered last Thursday to present a petition to Fordham president Fr. Joseph McShane, S.J. to revoke the honorary degree granted to CIA director John Brennan in 2012. The video below covers the event.
The petition only mentions Brennan's most egregious violations of human rights and Catholic moral teaching (including Fordham's mission statement). As Deputy National Security Advisor to President Obama, Brennan has been a "chief architect" and defender of President Obama's extrajudicial drone campaign, about which he falsely claimed in 2011, "there hasn't been a single collateral death." Brennan has recently made the news when the CIA illegally hacked into Senate computers. He then denied this to Andrea Mitchell of NBC News: "As far as the allegations of, you know, CIA hacking into, you know, Senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth. I mean, we wouldn't do that. I mean, that's—that's just beyond the—you know, the scope of reason in terms of what we would do."
We will see in the coming months if Fr. McShane and other Fordham leaders decide (however belatedly) to practice the Jesuit ideals they proudly profess.

Why Are Churches Taking Out Merchant Cash Advances? FTC Bans RAM Capital Funding.
January 6, 2022 by Steve Rhode
Two of the defendants behind an alleged small business financing scheme, RAM Capital Funding, LLC and its owner Tzvi Reich, will be permanently banned from the merchant cash advance and debt collection industries, and required to pay $675,000 to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that they used deceptive and illegal means to seize assets from small businesses, non-profits, and religious organizations.
"Today's order makes clear that preying on small businesses will come with a heavy price," said Samuel Levine, the Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "These defendants have been banned from the merchant cash advance business, and we intend to hold their co-defendants similarly accountable."
Merchant cash advances are a type of alternative small business financing. Generally speaking, merchant cash advance companies provide funds to businesses in exchange for a percentage of the businesses' revenue. Typically, a merchant cash advance company will make daily withdrawals from the business's bank account until the obligation has been met.
As detailed in the February 2020 FTC staff perspective on the "Strictly Business" forum, however, some merchant cash advance providers engage in aggressive, and potentially misleading, marketing practices and use potentially abusive collection tactics.
The FTC alleged that since 2015, the defendants deceived small businesses and other organizations in violation of the FTC Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act by requiring personal guarantees and upfront fees from consumers after representing they wouldn't make these demands, providing less funding to consumers than promised, and by debiting more from consumers' bank accounts than they said they would.
The agency also alleged that the defendants made unauthorized withdrawals from consumers' accounts and used unfair collection practices, including sometimes threatening physical violence. In addition, the FTC alleged that the defendants illegally weaponized "confessions of judgment," contractual terms that allowed defendants to pursue customers' personal assets in court and obtain uncontested judgments against them.
See also FTC Files Amended Complaint Seeking Civil Penalties Against Small Business Financing Providers
As part of the settlement, the defendants are being ordered to vacate any judgments against their former customers and to release any liens against their customers' property. The proposed order would also ban these defendants from making these and similar misrepresentations, and from further violations of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
The Commission's case against the other defendants, RCG Advances, LLC, Robert Giardina, and Jonathan Braun, is ongoing, and the proposed order requires settling defendants RAM Capital Funding and Reich to cooperate with the FTC. – Source

Try "Alexa let's chat" and see what happens. This gives consumers an insight to what we'll be exposed to in the next few years and how machine learning works. But don't worry, Alexa isn't always listening. Devices tend to have set commands that they listen out for in order to activate.

Tom took us through the update to HTTP/2 and explained how latency motivated Google to make the first major update to the HTTP protocol in 20 years.
– HTTP/2 can positively impact site speed and it doesn't require web development resource as you can roll out a CDN like Cloudflare for easy deployment.
– Googlebot won't benefit from this, but it will notice.
1 in every 5 searches has an image block, training consumers to see that image results are there and important.
Google needs to have high quality images and if we use product structured data, this will improve the likelihood of these showing.
In short, think in visuals, not in keywords.

I use Daddario Tire & Auto for auto care. I last went there for an inspection and emission.
I have been going there for about three years. They were just around the neighborhood. The staff is very polite and very professional. I dropped it off the previous night. When I went in to pick it up, I just picked it right up. They explained everything to me well.
I, initially, just went to get the oil changed. The mechanic who was performing the oil change noticed that the inspection sticker was expired and asked if I wanted a new inspection sticker. He had already checked it out and said that it passed! We had bought the tires there and so they rotate them for free for the life of the tires. The guys that work there have a great sense of humor. It is a very cheerful atmosphere!


Before you start getting ideas from the heading of this post, let me clarify we will be discussing totally different form of wild. Goa is more than just pristine beaches, feni, floating casinos and a happening night life. Being a place of immense natural beauty, the state is endowed with breathtaking wilderness and there are more places to visit in Goa which are a perfect retreat for someone who wants to get out of a mundane week, and get into something peaceful. So in this post, we will talk about some greener retreats for those who love the wild, other than those covered in Goa holidays packages.
Sanctuary and was renamed to the current one in 1969. However the core area is still called Mollem National Park. Nestled in the Western Ghats, the sanctuary is home to pristine evergreen, semi evergreen and deciduous forests at different altitudes. The fauna includes the rare black panther, varieties of deer, bison, several members of the primate family, porcupines and a number of species of resident and migratory birds. It is also home to a great variety of butterflies.
The sanctuary contains several natural and historical attractions that make this largest protected area. Some of them are Dudhsagar falls, Tambdi falls, Devil's canyon and ancient Kadamba temples.
Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary is 63 km from Panaji and can be reached by road or train from the capital or Margao. To go around, vehicles are provided by the Forest department at the economical rates. One can get more idea from Goa tourism.
One of the important destinations within the Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary is the Dudhsagar falls. Of the numerous waterfalls in the Western Ghats, this is one of the most impressive and is the second highest in India after the Jog falls. The trip involves a short hike on the road and requires a minimum of fitness. The best season to see the falls is in the monsoons soon after the rains.
Located 60 km south of Panji, Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary is the second largest in Goa. This sanctuary is notable for its dense forest cover with trees as high as 30 m and is a haven for tree lovers. The Talpona river flows through the area and the major watering holes are located on its back. There are fewer big animals in this sanctuary than Mollem, however one can still expect to see bears, wild boars, deer and monkeys. Birds are plentiful in general and some species of eagles which are not easily spotted elsewhere can be seen here. Several tribal communities live inside these forests and one can get an insight into their fast fading lifestyle.
Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary, named after the famous ornithologist, is located on the island of Chorao at the river Mandovi. Spread in an area of 440 acres, the sanctuary is covered with a thick mangrove forest which are usually a natural nesting ground of birds. Different varieties of swallows, bulbuls, kingfishers, swans, woodpeckers, horn bills etc are found in plenty at this place.
Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the Eastern part of Goa. Spread in around 208 sq km, this sanctuary supports a wide variety of wildlife and is famous as a bird watcher's paradise.

Holy Grandparents
Just recently, Our Holy Father Pope Francis has declared that the fourth Sunday of July each year would be a World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly. That Sunday has been chosen because of its proximity to the Feast of Sts. Joachim and Anne, the grandparents of Jesus. Pope Francis also spoke of the elderly Simeon and Anna in the temple who encountered the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph as they carried the Infant Jesus into the temple to be presented to God His Father. He noted, "the Holy Spirit even today stirs up thoughts and words of wisdom in the elderly." He also said that the voice of the elderly "is precious because it sings the praises of God and preserves the roots of the peoples." The elderly, "remind us that old age is a gift and that grandparents are the link between the different generations, to pass on to the young the experience of life."
Our gratitude to the elderly in our midst should be great. They have given so much of themselves and they deserve our love and support. I am sure that we have all had some experience of grandparents and other elderly individuals in our families or our parishes that have inspired us and taught us by their fidelity to God in their lives of prayer and sacrifice.
It has been said over and over again that during the time of the Communist persecution of the Church in Central and Eastern Europe and throughout the entire Soviet block, it was so very often the grandparents or other elderly relatives who taught the children their prayers and the basics of the faith. When churches were closed and priests and religious were not permitted to proclaim on the Gospel openly, it was grandparents, parents and others like them who stepped up to the plate.
We have all known elderly men and women in our parishes who were like Simeon and Anna in the temple. Just as those holy two who met Jesus in His Father's house, so, too, those "holy ones" in our parishes always are at Mass, always praying before and after Mass, always at every novena, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and always the first to volunteer to help with any parish activity. How many of them teach CCD, help at fish fries, take Holy Communion to the sick and shut-ins, and pray rosary after rosary for so many others. What a gift they are to us!
Often they live absolutely heroic lives. Many times on very limited resources and separated from loved ones they live quiet but generous lives thinking of others before themselves and remaining faithful in coming to Mass and confession. If we want to know what evangelization looks like, we need only look to them.
I grew up in an area where devotion to St. Anne was very popular. Every July we went to all nine days of the Novena in honor of St. Anne that was offered in so many churches. There was something about the Grandmother of the Lord Jesus that inspired faith in people of all walks of life. I knew a couple that had a severely disabled daughter who could do practically nothing for herself in her early years. Through the love of her parents and countless prayers to St. Anne, she became more and more capable of walking, talking, and even got to the point of working in a sheltered workshop as a young adult. Yes, her parents took her doctors and hospitals for help. But they also took her to the statue of St. Anne in church and sought the intercession of the Holy Grandmother of Jesus Himself. This young lady's mother and father would always say, "We cannot thank good St. Anne enough for what she has done for our Cathy!"
That is what the Feast of Sts. Anne and Joachim and the Church's World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly should remind us of. The elderly in our midst are powerful signs of the dignity of every human life, even when close to the end of a person's earthly pilgrimage. They remind us that every human life, from the moment of conception until natural death, must be loved, cherished, protected, and respected. Yes, every person deserves this love, like the preborn, like young disabled Cathy, like the elderly in our midst, like Sts. Anne and Joachim! Holy Grandparents of Our Lord, pray for us and inspire us to love and protect all life as a gift from God!

Poulsen Motorsport: back in the 24H SERIES after 6 years!
Denmark's Poulsen Motorsport – the eponymous team of Kristian and Roland Poulsen – makes its first 24H SERIES start since 2016 at this weekend's Hankook 24H BARCELONA, and qualified a strong 3rd overall.
Poulsen Motorsport will start its first 24H SERIES event since 2016 on the second row of the grid for this weekend's Hankook 24H BARCELONA after a stellar run for the BMW M4 GT3 during qualifying.
Former World Touring Car Championship contender – and team principal – Kristian Poulsen ended Q1 with a strong 1m 49.939s, consistent runs from Christoffer Nygaard and Sweden's Alfred Nilsson thereafter in Q2 and Q3 respectively securing the #14 BMW M4 GT3 3rd on the grid behind polesitter Herberth Motorsport and front row starter, WTM Racing. So strong was the Danish team's run, the BMW M4 GT3 was bested by just 0.032s by the WTM Racing Ferrari.
This weekend's Hankook 24H BARCELONA marks the first time since the same event in 2016 that Kristian, together with brother Roland, have contested a 24H SERIES event. On that occasion, the pair were teamed with Casper Elgaard and Christoffer Nygaard in a Massive Motorsport Aston Martin Vantage GT3, which eventually retired with a dramatic gearbox failure. At this weekend's Hankook 24H BARCELONA, Kristian, Roland, Christoffer and Alfred are entered under the eponymous 'Poulsen Motorsport' banner.
The event will also serve as a further development race for the team's BMW M4 GT3, the second such example on the grid alongside that of reigning Overall GT Teams' champion ST Racing.
"It's been a while but we're happy to be back!" Kristian explained to CREVENTIC. "The last time we were here was with Massive Motorsport in 2016 with the Aston Martin. Unfortunately the gearbox exploded and the car started burning while my brother was still in the car. So, yeah, not the best weekend for us!
"But this weekend, we're here with our own team, and the mechanics are all very good friends of ours for a long time now. We also here with our BMW [M4 GT3], which we bought over a year ago. And we're impressed how easy this car is to drive. Other cars we've [raced] in the past, you had to work quite hard to get them to go fast. But the M4 is really easy, and BMW has made a really good car.
"We thought about what series we wanted to do, and the 24H SERIES, for PRO and AM drivers, strikes a really good balance, particularly because there is a lot of good competition."
Asked about the team's qualifying performance, Kristian admitted that, while a second-row grid position hinted towards strong race pace, the team's focus across the next 24 hours remains unchanged…
"We're very happy about that! Of course, it's a long race, and we have to see what happens, but it's always best to start at the front than dead-last with all the traffic. 3rd is a really good place to be for our first race back.
"We want to finish the race. That's our main goal, to see the chequered flag. Obviously a podium would be nice but we just have to see how it goes."

Abstract: In a strapping apparatus for strapping goods with a band, which apparatus has a tensioning device which is operatively connected to a tensioning drive and is intended for tensioning the band, a welding device for sealing two layers of a band, and a plurality of rewinding locks for fixing the band on the strapping apparatus, highest possible efficiency is to be achieved. The invention proposes providing the welding device with a lever (91), on the one end of which an eccentric (94) which is operatively connected to a motor shaft acts for the purpose of transmitting an eccentric movement, with regard to the motor shaft of the closure device, to the lever (91), and to the other end of which a welding shoe (86) is coupled, the lever (91) being mounted pivotably at a bearing point (90), so that the movement of the eccentric results in an oscillating reciprocating movement of the welding shoe. As a result, it is possible to reduce the power loss occurring in the friction welding operation.

Q: Typescript debugging not working in Visual Studio 2017 I'm using Visual Studio 2017 version 15.5.7 for my .NET web API project and I'm using Syncfusion's angular controls with systemJS for UI. Problem is, that I cannot debug typescript at all. I can place a breakpoint and it appears like normal regular breakepoint until i hit debug, then it becomes unavailable with message:

The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No code has been loaded for this code location.

I tried debugging with Chrome, Firefox, Edge and IE, but to no avail. .map files are generated on build and I can debug transpiled javascript files in Chrome dev tools. Also, I should mention that I cannot navigate to my typescript files in Chrome. Just generated javascript files.
UPDATE:
I should also mention that all of the options in web project Properties -> TypeScript Build are disabled and there's a message:

One or more tsconfig.json files detected. Project properties are disabled.

I have added only one tsconfig.json file. Is VS using some internal one? Could this be a problem? Also there are some more tsconfig.json files in my node_modules folder.

A: You can't debug, typescript in visual studio 2017.but you can debug it in chrome under source section.Refer the image file.
http://www.gamefromscratch.com/post/2014/05/27/TypeScript-debugging-in-Visual-Studio-with-IE-Chrome-and-Firefox-using-Source-Maps.aspx

A: In Visual Studio 2017, Typescript files are transpile to JavaScript files using gulp file and the application is served from wwwroot folder. So we can only able to debug the JavaScript files in devTools of Chrome. To debug the TypeScript files in Chrome, we need to create Map files in our application. To create map files, Refer the below code snippet.
[gulpfile.js]
/*
This file in the main entry point for defining Gulp tasks and using Gulp
plugins.

Click here to learn more. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=518007

*/

var ts = require('gulp-typescript');

var gulp = require('gulp'),

rimraf = require('rimraf');

gulp.task('clean', function (cb) {
return rimraf('./wwwroot/lib/', cb)

});

gulp.task('copy:lib', function () {
return gulp.src('node_modules/**/*')
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./wwwroot/lib/'));

});

gulp.task('copy:systemjs', function () {
return gulp.src('src/systemjs.config.js')
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./wwwroot/'));

});

var tsProject = ts.createProject('src/tsconfig.json', {
typescript: require('typescript')

});

var sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps');

var path = require('path');

gulp.task('ts', function () {
var tsResult = gulp.src("src/**/*.ts").pipe(sourcemaps.init())
    .pipe(tsProject());
returntsResult.js.pipe(sourcemaps.write('.')).pipe(gulp.dest('./wwwroot'));

});

gulp.task('watch', ['watch.ts']);

gulp.task('watch.ts', ['ts'], function () {
return gulp.watch('src/**/*.ts', ['ts']);

});

gulp.task('default', ['watch']);

We have prepared a sample and attached below. Please refer the sample link.
Sample
Please let us know if you need further assist on this.
Thanks,
Subha Shree D.R

A: You can debug your typescript project in VS2017. There are few elements you need to ensure is enabled and before you can. Under Options look for Enable JavaScript debugging for ASP.NET (Chrome and IE) which should be ticked (enabled) or else you will not be able to debug using the IDE.
If it still doesn't work, then make sure you Shelve your pending changes and then proceed to the following respective directory locations to delete the cache.
Delete the contents from the following folders
C:\Users\<<Your Alias>>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation
C:\Users\<<Your Alias>>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio
C:\Users\<<Your Alias>>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon

Once done, you will need to signin to your TFS account, and ideally should hit the debug breakpoint in your typescript project.

A: Easiest thing to do is inline the mapping, so that even packing works.  try the following settings in your tsconfig:
//"sourceMap": true,
"inlineSourceMap": true,
"inlineSources": true,

Zoning candidates talk future of Westport in debate

WESTPORT — Traffic, parking, affordable housing and the repair of Cribari Bridge were some of the many items tackled by candidates for the Planning and Zoning Commission at town hall on Monday.
The event was the second in a series of candidate debates hosted by the League of Women Voters of Westport and co-sponsored by the Westport Library and the PTA Council of Westport. Five of the six candidates for the commission where in attendance with only Republican Town Committee nominee Jon Olefson absent.
The five candidates who are vying for four spots fielded a number of questions that largely focused on shaping the town for the future.
SIGN UP here to get daily Westport News and alerts on breaking news.
Democratic candidate and current Planning and Zoning Commission chairman Paul Lebowitz noted there are some traffic issues due to the town having two exits from major highways and only four bridges.
"One of the things we've tried to do when an applicant comes before us is insist that the traffic study be realistic, and have real-life conditions attached to it," Lebowitz said, adding the commission aims to see what developments will add to the town.
Republican candidate and current commissioner Chip Stephens echoed Lebowitz's sentiments, and said for the future he'd like to see more inter-departmental work. He added by working together the town could look to way-finding as a potential solution.
"We have a lot of traffic in the morning going through neighborhoods and I think we can work on that," he said. "With co-operations with the other boards, selectmen, and so forth we can work together to put together someone who can do that."
Coalition for Westport candidate Joe Strickland said the Planning and Zoning Commission missed an opportunity years ago to correct the intersection of Wilton Road and Post Road, which he described as one of the worst intersections in the state.
"I'm not going to let that suffice ever again if I'm elected," Strickland said.
With the moratorium in place, Strickland said the commission has four years to plan affordable housing throughout town.
"I think scattering affordable housing throughout our community is a much, much more intelligent and better way to create affordable housing," he said. "If we don't take advantage of that we should be criticized roundly for that."
Republican candidate and current commissioner Catherine Walsh said the 8-30g statute was a moving target. Walsh also noted the commission has approved 11 out of 15 applicants brought forward with affordability aspects.
"We don't want to sequester people in one area," she said. "We want to spread them out and make them part of the community."
Al Gratrix, Republican candidate and also a current commissioner, said when the 8-30g statute first came into effect the town was unable to take advantage of the affordable housing already built.
"I have no problem. I just want to make sure it's in an appropriate area that traffic is not an issue and that fire and environmental issues are taken into concern being that they don't have to abide by any of our regulations," he said.
The long discussed repairs of Cribari Bridge was also discussed. Candidates all agreed repairs were needed for the bridge, but many cautioned against any extreme changes pointing to the bridge as a natural deterrent to traffic.
The validity of a Planning and Zoning Commission in itself, and whether or not planning be separated from zoning, was also questioned. Strickland said the commission has turned into the zoning police and supported separating planning and zoning.
"We need people that are going to sit down, hear the people and hear the citizens of Westport. Feel the pulse, know what the needs are and make some plans," he said. "If the zoning side of the fence wants to enforce it that's fine. Then we'll have two separate bodies."
However, Stephens and other candidates pointed to the work the commission continues to do and has done over the years.
"We take care of a lot of planning. We got the POCD. We got the downtown plan, the Saugatuck plan, we've got plans all over the shelves," Stephens said. "We've done a lot of planning and a lot of it has gone into our regulations."
