Female (1933 film)
Premier is a title for the head of government in some countries, states and sub-national governments. A second in command to a premier is designated as a vice-premier or deputy premier.
Examples by country
In many nations, "premier" is used interchangeably with "prime minister".
In the People's Republic of China, "premier" is more common and official, but "prime minister" is still used (see Premier of the People's Republic of China).
In four of the British overseas territories (Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the British Virgin Islands), the elected heads of government are styled as "Premier". In other overseas territories the equivalent post is styled as Chief Minister.
"Premier" is also the title of the heads of government in sub-national entities, such as the provinces and territories of Canada, states of the Commonwealth of Australia, provinces of South Africa, the island of Nevis within the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, and the nation of Niue. In some of these cases, the formal title remains "Prime Minister" but "Premier" is used to avoid confusion with the national leader. In these cases, care should be taken not to confuse the title of "premier" with "prime minister". In these countries, terms such as "Federal Premier", "National Premier", or "Premier of the Dominion" were sometimes used to refer to prime ministers, although these are now obsolete. The French language does not differentiate between premier and prime minister and therefore federal prime ministers and provincial, state or colonial premiers are all called premier ministres.

In South Africa, a Premier
10 other official names:
Premier van Suid-Afrika (Afrikaans)
uNdunakulu weSewula Afrika (Southern Ndebele)
iNkulumbuso yePhondo waseMzantsi Afrika (Xhosa)
uNdunankulu waseNingizimu Afrika (Zulu)
Ndvunankhulu weleNingizimu Afrika (Swati)
Tonakgolo wa Afrika Borwa (Northern Sotho)
Tonakgolo wa Afrika Borwa (Sotho)
Tonakgolo wa Aforika Borwa (Tswana)
Holobyenkulu wa Afrika-Dzonga (Tsonga)
Mulangavunḓu wa Afrika Tshipembe (Venda)
is the head of government of one of South Africa's nine provinces. The Premier of a province plays for that province a role similar to that played by the President for the country as a whole.
Elections for the nine provincial legislatures are held every five years, simultaneously with the election of the National Assembly; the last such election occurred on 7 May 2014. At the first meeting of the provincial legislature after an election, the members choose the Premier from amongst themselves. The legislature can force the Premier to resign by a motion of no confidence. If the Premiership becomes vacant (for whatever reason) the legislature must choose a new Premier to serve out the period until the next election. One person cannot have serve more than two five-year terms as Premier; however, when a Premier is chosen to fill a vacancy the time until the next election does not count as a term.

Premier Motorcycles were British motorcycles manufactured by a business originally founded as a bicycle manufacturer by W. H. Herbert and William Hillman in 1876. Their "Hillman and Herbert Cycle Company" was renamed "Premier Cycle Co." in 1891.
White & Poppe engine
Their first motorcycle was produced in 1908, with a White & Poppe side-valve engine and Chater-Lea front forks. They made their first V-twin in 1909, followed by a 499 cc single-cylinder machine in 1910.
The business changed its name to "The Premier Cycle Company (Coventry Premier Ltd.)" in 1914.
After the First World War bicycle or motorcycle production was not resumed and the cyclecar business was acquired by Singer Motors in 1921 although Premier motorcycles were produced under licence in Czechoslovakia throughout the 1930s.

Female (♀) is the sex of an organism, or a part of an organism, that produces non-mobile ova (egg cells). Most female mammals, including female humans, have two X chromosomes.
Defining characteristics
The ova are defined as the larger gametes in a heterogamous reproduction system, while the smaller, usually motile gamete, the spermatozoon, is produced by the male. A female individual cannot reproduce sexually without access to the gametes of a male (an exception is parthenogenesis). Some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually.
There is no single genetic mechanism behind sex differences in different species and the existence of two sexes seems to have evolved multiple times independently in different evolutionary lineages. Patterns of sexual reproduction include
isogamous species with two or more mating types with gametes of identical form and behavior (but different at the molecular level),
anisogamous species with gametes of male and female types,
oogamous species, which include humans in which the female gamete is very much larger than the male and has no ability to move. Oogamy is a form of anisogamy. There is an argument that this pattern was driven by the physical constraints on the mechanisms by which two gametes get together as required for sexual reproduction.

Plant reproductive morphology is concerned with the physical form and structure (the morphology) of those parts of plants directly or indirectly concerned with sexual reproduction.
Among all living organisms, flowers, which are the reproductive structures of angiosperms, are the most varied physically and show a correspondingly great diversity in methods of reproduction. Plants that are not flowering plants (green algae, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, ferns and gymnosperms such as conifers) also have complex interplays between morphological adaptation and environmental factors in their sexual reproduction. The breeding system, or how the sperm from one plant fertilizes the ovum of another, depends on the reproductive morphology, and is the single most important determinant of the genetic structure of nonclonal plant populations. Christian Konrad Sprengel (1793) studied the reproduction of flowering plants and for the first time it was understood that the pollination process involved both biotic and abiotic interactions. Charles Darwin's theories of natural selection utilized this work to build his theory of evolution, which includes analysis of the coevolution of flowers and their insect pollinators.

Female is a 1933 Warner Bros. Pre-Code film directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Ruth Chatterton and George Brent. It is based on the novel of the same name by Donald Henderson Clarke.
Alison Drake (Ruth Chatterton) is the wealthy owner and hard-driving, no-nonsense head of a large automobile company, inherited from her father. Her work has caused her to lose her youthful romanticism, and she has casual affairs with men, including her own employees.
Alison hosts a party at her mansion, but becomes fed up with the men out to either sell her things or marry her for her money. She dresses down and goes to an amusement park, where she picks up a man at a shooting gallery. They have fun together, but he refuses her offer to go home with him.
The next day, they meet again at her factory. To their mutual astonishment, he turns out to be Jim Thorne (George Brent), a gifted engineer she has ordered her underlings to hire away from her competition. Saying that she has no time now, Alison has him come to her mansion that night, supposedly to discuss his plans for the company in detail. She attempts to seduce him, but he rejects her as anything other than his employer.

Q: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'sfoa.postcode' in 'field list' I am getting the above error on the Customer/Orders tab in Magento admin which is related to a module that is adding columns to the sales_order_grid. I chosen the Observer method since there is another module extending the grid.
I have used an Observer and a layout.xml file in order to add the columns to the Grid but for some reasone it is having an adverse affect on the Customer/Orders tab.
Here is my Observer

                </arguments>
                <after>email</after>
            </action>

The module works fine on the Sales/Order_Grid but if I navigate to the Customer account page and click the Orders tab I get this error - I'm not sure how to solve it?

The National Weather Service predicts cold and cloudy weather for much of the weekend in the Houston area. Temperatures are expected to warm on Sunday.
Houston area residents should get used to this type of weather for the next couple of days, as high temperatures aren't expected to top 45 degrees until Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
In true Texas fashion, a cold front dropped temperatures from close to 80 degrees earlier this week to about 39 degrees on Friday morning. Temperatures are expected to remain steady throughout the day.
Saturday brings a 20 percent chance of showers with a high of 48 degrees. Then, on Sunday, temperatures will climb back up to 66 degrees with a 30 to 40 percent chance of rain throughout the day, according to the forecast.
The next cold front is "penciled in" for Monday night or Tuesday morning, the weather service said.

March 2019 - Please note that at present I do not have any availability for new clients.
If you are an adult you may be here because you have hit a crisis point or you might have been trying to cope alone for some time with problems, such as stress, relationship breakdown, gender identity, depression or anxiety. You might want to look at a specific recurring problem or have a much more generalised sense of dissatisfaction with your life.
If you are a young person (aged 13 - 25) and looking for a counsellor in Horsham I am experienced and can provide a safe space that is separate from school, social media and your friendship group. Some of the issues that you might want to get help with are bullying, self harm, gender identity, eating disorders, depression/low mood and self esteem.
Whatever your age or starting point counselling can provide a confidential and supportive professional relationship from within which you can make sense of what's going on, develop new skills and move forward.
Gaining awareness of how difficulties and sticking points can develop and repeat in your life provides you with the option to make more considered and informed choices. As an outcome you can learn to recognise when your basic needs are being compromised, explore healthy self expression, gain some control and also find the courage to make change if that is the best course of action for you.
Integrative Therapy My approach to counselling is integrative which means that it is drawn from a broad range of theories and approaches to help understand and respond to your individual needs, it is an adaptable model because I believe that there can be no 'one size fits all'. I have extensively studied and made use of person centred, psychodynamic, existential and attachment theories so that how we work together can be determined by your unique circumstances.
I offer counselling in Horsham from my private practice which is a short walk from the town centre and linked by rail to Crawley, Redhill, Croydon, London Bridge, Billingshurst, Arundel and Bognor Regis.
If you are travelling by car the A24 and A23 are close by giving access to Storrington, Steyning, Shoreham, Worthing, Brighton, Burgess Hill and Dorking.

CHIMIT Call For Papers and other contributions announced!
OVERVIEW Information Technology (IT) is central to modern life. From our homes to our largest enterprises, we are surrounded by software and hardware systems that support our work and personal lives: wireless access points, network routers, firewalls, virus scanners, databases, web servers, storage and backup systems, etc. These systems exist to allow us to work, communicate, and provide value to society in general by supporting us as we manage inventory, interact with friends or customers, or sell products through websites. Yet all too often, managing the underlying IT infrastructure takes time and resources away from the real work at hand. The size and complexity of modern infrastructures is increasing rapidly, and successful systems management involves a complex blend of technical and human issues. We are now at a turning point where further advances in technology, business efficiency and growth require fundamentally new approaches to IT system design, management, and services.
We designed the symposium program to include one day of technical presentations and papers, followed by a one-day workshop in conjunction with the LISA 2011 conference. This will provide an opportunity for in-depth discussions with highly experienced system administrators.
TOPICS Submission topics include, but are not limited to: - User studies of IT infrastructure management in context, exposing user needs, pain points, work practices, and examples of both successful and unsuccessful work. - Design approaches to bring about improved, human-centered IT systems. - Experience reports by practitioners and researchers. - Case studies on specific aspects of IT management. - Experimental studies on the usage of new or existing IT systems. - Tools and techniques for improved administration, e.g., visualizations of system behavior, or collaborative interfaces. - Automation approaches to reduce administration workload or improve productivity. - Computer supported cooperative work -- how do those who manage an organization's IT interact with the users they support, their technical community, and other stakeholders? - Organizational knowledge -- how can shared knowledge improve IT management. - Processes and practices -- examples of best practices and improved processes in IT management. - New technologies -- how will the changing technological landscape (e.g., cloud computing, pervasive mobile devices, etc.) affect IT management? - IT beyond the enterprise -- what are the implications now that we're doing backups, network configuration, etc. in the home?

The generous early-bird discount for LOPSA PICC (http://picconf.org) goes away on April 4th. This is a good time to talk with your boss about sending you while he/she can save money.
This is the absolute least expensive way to get my time management training. There is a heck of a lot of other great training and talks planned. I hope to see you there!
Read this (brand new!) interview with William Bilancio. He is one of the PICC organizers.
P.S. I'll be interviewed on Episode 151 of the (Mind Of Root Podcast](http://www.mindofroot.com/). I'll let you know as soon as it comes out!
"Every person who comes to PICC11 will receive [AA Console](http://www.adminarsenal.com/admin-arsenal/main/) (which used to be named Admin Arsenal) PLUS they're also throwing in a copy of [PDQ Deploy Pro](http://www.adminarsenal.com/pdq-deploy-pro/main/). Together, this is a $500 value for absolutely nothing except showing up to a conference you wanted to attend anyway."
In one of Isaac Asimov's books, he foresees a day when telecommunications becomes so inexpensive that it becomes essentially flat-rate; for a monthly charge we can call anywhere in the world and talk all we want. As a result, people do begin to talk to others around the world. This breaks through the artificial walls to communication created by politics and we see that everyone is the same around the world. Soon, world peace is achieved. In the story, this happens around 2000.
It was about 2000 at which point internet use was a big part of our lives and, usually, was flat-rate. Thus, if you accept that "telecommunications" includes the internet, his prediction of flat-rate global communication has come true.
We use github and code.google.com and other systems to collaborate globally without realizing how amazing that it.

Ferguson accepts FA charge
metrowebukmetroTuesday 27 Oct 2009 10:56 am
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has accepted a charge of improper conduct following his comments on the fitness of referee Alan Wiley.
Ferguson, who criticised Wiley following his team's 2-2 draw with Sunderland at Old Trafford on October 3, has requested a personal hearing. The date for that has yet to be decided.
The United boss, 67, has faced calls for him to be given a lengthy touchline ban by the referees' union Prospect as a consequence of the comments.
Ferguson said after the draw with Sunderland at Old Trafford that 49-year-old Wiley was struggling to keep up with the match.
"I was disappointed with the referee," Ferguson said. "He didn't add on any time for the goal. He played four minutes and two seconds.
"He was also walking up the pitch for the second goal needing a rest. He was not fit enough for a game of that standard.
"The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit. He was not fit. It is an indictment of our game.
"You see referees abroad who are as fit as butcher's dogs. We have some who are fit. He wasn't fit.
"He was taking 30 seconds to book a player. He was needing a rest. It was ridiculous."
Although the Scot apologised for the comments on October 12, he was charged with improper conduct by the FA last week.

Check your map, look for a room marked "?".
2nd part: Can someone please tell me where to find key to cemetery???
Oh No! I knocked out everyone in there. Guess, I have to start over?
Of course, but it would appear you must defeat the Guardians cause i defeated the Water ones and i got the Water key on the pedestal, but when i sneaked around the others, no key! Kinda of makes sense, otherwise why have guardians at all?
OK, thanks for the tip Aspirin!
Need help on getting the letter from the Bandit Leader's room, frobbed high and low, nothing, could someone point me in the right direction? Also I can't find this grave where this tomb key is suppose to go, plus the key to the lockbox in the mountain side where the burrick patrols. thanks!
BTW are objectives different on different difficulties?
This is a great mission PsymH! The atmosphere, the storyline, wow!

OK I must be having a dumb day.
I've made it to the top of the pyramid after exploring the whole thing. (save one stone door on 2nd floor that does not frob) Plugged in the blue crystal. Read the note about defeating the four guardians. So I killed the four blue guys...3 in the pyramid one in the ruins where you find the tomb key...that didn't seem to do any good. What am I missing here?

Actually you're not looking for a letter in the Bandit Leader's room: in the bandit leader's bedroom (not explicitly marked, but it's the nicest looking one) look on top of the shelves for his "hand of glory".
I have found only 10 / 11 secrets... Are all secrets the same type ?
How do I open the door in the hallway above the dining hall?
Last edited by Acolyte6; 25th Feb 2010 at 20:10.
Acolyte6 - Do you have the green stone & Keeper's Journal? Use the stone to find Larius.
Part 1 - could I get a nudge on how to enter the room with the unfrobbable door, southern section, 1st floor, eastern side (between a HUGE bathroom & the bar) Thanx.
Last edited by Sticky Fingers; 25th Feb 2010 at 21:44.
I found the keeper, he spoke and I read his diary. Now I have the Eye of Revelation, but notfinding the talisman he mentioned. can I get a hint?
Shadowcrawler - it's just sitting in one of those stone pedestal-things surrounding Larius.
Hand hold spoiler requested. Or is there another bug like mission 1?
I'm still in progress, but congratulations on the release of a great mission, PsymH!
I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times, but I don't want to read too much and spoil myself. I think I've gone everywhere I can in the opening area (the East half of the map), and gotten the white nexus stone from the top of the tower - what do I do next? where is the key to the Western half of the complex?
MrMunkeepants - I think you mean the southern part of the map (it's oriented with north to the left of screen). See my answer to Acolyte6 4 posts above yours.
You don't go there on this level. Ignore it. Just keep playing.
Thanx, bob - but in that case, how about a nudge on the 'One Survivor' Bonus Objective?
Then again, I did not get this objective on the easier difficulties but I think it's the one.
Does anyone know how to open the lockbox where the burrick patrols near the waterfall? also what difficulty you did this on. I played on normal difficulty and haven't found anything to open it. Thanks!
Look at my previous reply to Sticky Fingers above.
Yes, it's annoying. It's not compulsory.

More than half Canada's AstraZeneca vaccine came from U.S. plant accused by FDA of quality-control problems
Controversy first erupted in March when it was revealed that cross-contamination at the Baltimore plant had ruined 15 million doses of the J&J product

Close to two thirds of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine imported into Canada came from a U.S. factory that American authorities say was rife with quality-control issues, Health Canada confirmed Thursday.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said this week it will not allow the release of any vaccine made under contract at the Emergent Biosolutions plant in Baltimore, Md. — and still in the U.S.— until it's been tested further.

But Health Canada said AstraZeneca has assured the government a contamination event at the Emergent plant that led to a recent FDA inspection had no impact on the 1.5 million doses of its vaccine shipped here.
"All products in Canada met authorized specifications before they were released to the market," Anna Madison, a spokeswoman for the department, said in a statement.
U.S. removes AstraZeneca from plant that ruined 15 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine
White House says removal of AstraZeneca vaccine from U.S. plant will not affect dose output
"COVID-19 vaccines are subjected to the same independent, rigorous scientific reviews, quality standards, testing and post-market surveillance as all other vaccines approved for use in Canada."
Madison said the last of the 1.5 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine made at the Emergent plant were distributed to the provinces the week of April 5.
Though uptake on that particular shot was slow at first, its use has surged in recent days after some provinces made it available to a broader age range of Canadians. B.C. authorities said Thursday they had all but expended their allotment.
Canada also obtained 500,000 AstraZeneca doses made under contract by a company in India, and 300,000 manufactured in South Korea through the COVAX project.
AstraZeneca said in a statement Thursday the vaccine it sent to Canada in March was done so at the request of the U.S. government and "met the stringent requirements" the firm must follow.
"Required safety tests and quality control measures are carried out at each step of the production process," the company said. "All checks were met prior to the release of the batches."
The Food and Drug Administration released a report Wednesday that outlined a number of issues with Emergent's Bayview plant in Baltimore that it said could potentially affect the quality of the products it made.
No option but to throw these doses away
They ranged from inadequate training of staff to not cleaning equipment at appropriate intervals to "prevent contamination that would alter the safety, identity, strength, quality or purity of the drug substance."
Emergent had earlier agreed with the agency to halt production at the plant until the problems are fixed.
In the meantime, the FDA said that none of the vaccine made at the factory so far would be distributed in the United States.
"For the vaccines already manufactured, the products will undergo additional testing and will be thoroughly evaluated to ensure their quality before any potential distribution," the agency said in a news release. "We will not allow the release of any product until we feel confident that it meets our expectations for quality."
Amir Attaran, a law professor and drug-policy expert at the University of Ottawa, said any of the Emergent-made vaccine not already administered in Canada should now be shelved.
And he said he's not even sure if potential problems could be uncovered by an inspection after the fact.
"It is impossible to "inspect in" high quality to a product that started life as low quality," charged Attaran. "There is absolutely no option but to throw these doses away, like the other doses manufactured in that factory which the Americans are not allowing to be used. No way should Canadians be offered these doses."
Emergent has manufactured vaccine under contract for both AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson.
Controversy first erupted in March when it was revealed that cross-contamination at the Baltimore plant had ruined 15 million doses of the J&J product.
Unexplained discrepancies
U.S. media reports indicated that the contamination came from the harmless virus used in the AstraZeneca vaccine being manufactured in the same facility.
The companies agreed after the incident to no longer make AstraZeneca's shot at the plant to avoid any cross-contamination, while the FDA carried out an extensive inspection of the facility that finished on Tuesday.
The resulting report outlined a number of issues around the company's investigation into the Johnson & Johnson incident, saying it had failed to thoroughly probe the "unexplained discrepancies."
But the report, citing security camera footage and other evidence, also detailed several other, broader concerns about how the facility operated.
It said the building was not maintained in a "clean and sanitary condition," saying for instance that waste is not properly decontaminated before being taken through the warehouse for disposal.
There were also areas of peeling paint and damaged wall boards, which would undermine Emergent's ability to clean and disinfect the area.
The warehouse was also overcrowded with materials destined for the manufacturing process and samples for quality control, said the report.

Among other concerns, it also said Emergent had failed to adequately train workers involved in manufacturing, quality control and other areas to "prevent cross contamination of bulk drug substances."
AstraZeneca's vaccine has been clouded somewhat by suspicions it is linked to a rare blood-clotting problem. But scientists say the benefits of taking the shot — and avoiding seriously COVID-19 illness — easily outweigh slim risks.

CoastLine: Shark Sense with George Burgess & Chuck Bangley
By Rachel Lewis Hilburn • Jul 8, 2015
Sandbar Shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus)
By Brian Gratwicke, via Wikimedia Commons
Listen to the full episode here.
The North Carolina coast has seen eight shark attacks so far this season. Summer is not half over. It's a record-setting number. And a chilling one for most people.
There's no getting around the primal fear that sharks seem to trigger in humans. Time Magazine recently confirmed this in a study by showing viewers scientific information about sharks and explaining that up to 100 million sharks are killed by humans each year. Fewer than five people are killed by sharks annually. Based on these statistics, according to Time, you're far more likely to die from a bee sting or the flu than to be killed by a shark. The study showed that information had no impact on viewers' emotional reactions to scary video of sharks.
On this edition of CoastLine, we explore the questions that continue to swirl around this topic – particularly after four of the eight attacks this year in North Carolina ended in very serious injuries – with two young people losing parts of their arms.
Joining us to sort out the hysteria from the facts are two shark experts:
With us by phone is one of the most-interviewed shark experts in the country lately. George Burgess is the Director of the Florida Program for Shark Research and the International Shark Attack File, both of which are based in the University of Florida's Museum of Natural History.
Chuck Bangley is a Ph.D Candidate in Coastal Resources Management at East Carolina University. He's working on a shark habitat selection study with some funding from North Carolina Sea Grant.

Fisheries Expert Says Shark Bites Overshadow Ocean's Real Danger: Rip Currents
By Isabelle Shepherd • Jul 7, 2015
Wikimedia Commons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rip_current
Shark bites have been dominating the headlines in coastal North Carolina for weeks. But sharks aren't the most dangerous risk swimmers face in the ocean.
So far this summer, North Carolina has experienced a record-breaking number of shark attacks: 8, to be precise – with the most recent bite occurring over the holiday weekend. But Scott Baker, a fisheries specialist with the North Carolina Sea Grant Extension program, says that these shark bites are overshadowing the ocean's real danger:

Tank eyed as source of bacteria
Aaron Wasserman/Daily News staff
Aug 27, 2008 at 12:01 AM Aug 27, 2008 at 4:20 PM
After low levels of E. coli bacteria showed up in the water supply last week, officials are harkening back to an inspection two years ago that found the interior coating of the tank where the bacteria was found had worn away and should be replaced.
PDF: Highland Street Tank
The inspection revealed the loss of the protective coating caused the metal to rust and develop small pits, and it recommended the problem be fixed within 12 months. It has not yet been done, officials said.
The town's water and sewer superintendent said yesterday that could be a possible source of the last week's positive tests for bacteria, though it is unclear from where the bacteria definitely came.
"If you had bacteria in the system, it possibly could adhere to a rusty area, and could do the same thing in the water main itself," be dislodged and appear in a water test, said Superintendent Mark Flaherty.
The Highland Street tank was chlorinated on Friday and tests came back yesterday showing no more traces of bacteria, officials said. Samples taken Monday and yesterday have also been submitted to state laboratories.
The original positive tests last week found small amounts of coliform and E. coli bacteria, prompting the town to issue a public warning. But officials also say people can drink the water without boiling it. About 30 homes are affected by the bacteria.
In November 2006, Underwater Solutions Inc., a Mattapoisett diving company, issued a report after inspecting the tank for the town. It said "interior wall panel surfaces were found with coating failure throughout all elevations of the tank, while metal fatigue has occurred since our Sept. 15, 2005, inspection."
The report says the tank's external structure was in good condition, but strongly recommended the tank be emptied and sandblasted, have its metal pits filled and two new coats of paint applied.
"We recommend that this rehabilitation be scheduled within 12 months in an effort to preserve the structural integrity as further fatigue should be expected," the inspectors said in the report.
The Water and Sewer Department has allotted $200,000 for the repairs, but has not yet done them, Flaherty said, because the town could not spare the water capacity during the past year. He said he hopes to solicit bids for the work and empty the tank this fall.
Last year, the Village Street well, one of three in town, lost much of its capacity, straining the town's water system. When a replacement came online in May, the town flushed its system for one week to rid it of discolored water.
"I couldn't take the tank off line and have no well," Flaherty said, referring to when the Village Street well was down. "I can't have a well pumping at 1,250 gallons per minute, have a fire and have no tank to serve the fire."

Many would think that the Philippines only has hot and humid weather all year round. But while it does feel like summer most of the time, the weather can actually change in a snap.
Dramatic weather changes come with the phenomenon called global warming. From intense drought to stronger typhoons, the country isn't the only one affected—your skin is, too.
Does your skin feel flaky during the "ber" months? Is it reddish from heavy sun exposure? Whether tremendously hot and humid or cold and dry, extreme weather conditions may be the culprit. Read on to know about how exactly they affect the skin.
Strong winds and heavy rainfall mark the end of the summer season. For some, it means staying indoors and cozying up in bed. But for others, it means having to deal with dry, itchy skin.
As explained by Jessica Wu, MD, a leading dermatologist and beauty expert for EverydayHealth.com, cold weather causes the skin to dry out and get irritated due to the dry air and low humidity it brings. This event can worsen existing skin conditions like eczema, or even lead to new ones.
To fight the effects of cold weather, dermatologist Dr. Nick Lowe of London's Cranley Clinic suggests switching up from a light moisturizer to something that's more heavy-duty in consistency for better protection. To prevent windburn and chapping, try swiping on some petroleum jelly on your lips.
Avoiding long, hot showers and doing away with harsh soaps that strip off natural oils would help keep your skin moisturized. But if you want to straight out restore moisture in the air, a good humidifier does the job.
High temperatures give off humid air. Too much moisture in the air can cause skin problems like acne to develop as your pores are wide open and more prone to dirt. Heat rash, allergies, and sunburns are some more conditions you should watch out for in this season.
Wearing sunscreen is one of the most important things that you can do, but that isn't enough. Considering the heat in the Philippines, you will need one with moisturizing properties to combat the intense dryness and discomfort that this season brings. It's important to increase your fluid intake as well, since your body needs more water and moisture in extremely hot conditions.
From uncomfortable dryness to the possibility of having breakouts, extreme weather conditions can be quite taxing for your skin. Both conditions call for extra skin nourishment and protection so make sure to choose quality products that aim to heal and protect the skin.


The one responsible of inventing the flatbag should receive a Nobel prize or at least a cold beer on a hot day. Among many replicas Rasputin Item has introduced, the flatbag is one of many. Simple design only an idiot would ruin…and RI are not idiots. It looks just like any other flatbag on the market…well, almost. It was made from original PenCott Badlands fabric and we put our thumbs up for this! Great work. Enjoy the video.

'This summer I was fortunate enough to join the International Citizens Service with a three month volunteer placement with Y-Care International in Bangladesh. This programme worked within a town called Birisiri and the areas around it.
We worked within education systems, ran a set of workshops, helped organise the community to implement investments and also hosted community activities. We worked extremely hard to make sure that every thing we did was inclusive, purposeful and high quality.
I believe this placement made me quickly learn my personal strengths and weaknesses and allowed me to work on my skills to continue to improve my personal development.
Congratulations Alex!! We are delighted that you had an enlightening time in Bangladesh. Good luck for your future career in international development!!


"Just Like it Used to Be" is a stop motion music video inspired by a song from Swansea's new album FLAWS. The film is a rhythmic allegory of a diseased relationship, alluding to a lover lost to addiction and the struggle to pull them back.
In a departure from Patrick Neary's earlier short films, "Just Like It Used to Be" uses compelling, shadowy imagery to touch on themes of loneliness, separation and loss. The film incorporates a dark, decayed aesthetic in set and character design, and a muted, nearly black and white color palette. The stop motion sets and characters were hand-made and incorporated found objects, and shot in our studio over a period of several months.

Businesses, big or small, can learn a lot from corporations' mistakes whether that be from the products they sell and discontinue to the lack of innovation and change that consumers want to see. Some companies in the past were the cause of their own demise because they failed to listen to the consumer by not delivering what they wanted, giving the customer a worse product in the long run. The Battlefield franchise, makers of the Battlefield and Battlefield Bad Company games, is the best example for small businesses and how they must continue to provide quality products that consumers want and can't get enough of.
As a former gamer who would play a few hours of Battlefield a night during my teen years, I'm quite familiar with the franchise as a loyal consumer. Battlefield Bad Company is still being raved about by fans nearly seven years after it was released in 2008, and the second installment has gotten just as much love, if not more. It's been four years since the last Bad Company game, and since then consumers have been given subpar games, and worse then that, they've paid at least $100 if they wanted to become Premium members to get exclusive content and more maps to play on in multiplayer mode.
Recently the boss for Dice, the maker of the game, discussed with a gaming magazine as to why they haven't released a Bad Company 3. The answer is rather shocking from a business perspective. The developers can't understand why consumers loved the game so much. They're not sure if it was the single player storyline, the characters in the game, or the fact that they've failed to replicate what they created for online usage.
My take: In general, since online gaming is what drives sales, single player story lines have become quite bland and boring, but not in Bad Company. The characters were funny, there was an actual storyline, and you had much more freedom on the maps than in the Battlefield games. The online play was crisp and fluid, rarely if ever were there glitches, never getting kicked out of a server due to lack of connection, and the gameplay was extremely fun and worth the time invested. Best of all, the online gameplay was so good it was worth forking out the extra cash to gain access to new game modes and maps.
What is so difficult about replicating and continuing the story? Since Battlefield 2 ends with the Russians advancing on the continental United States and the four main characters ready to take on the challenge there is a storyline for a third game.
As small businesses owners we have to listen to the consumer or we don't eat or have a roof over our heads. The Battlefield franchise has been under fire (pardon the pun) for not delivering games worth playing to the consumer. According to bf4central.com, 7 million customers bought Battlefield 4, but today only 2% still play the game. That's unacceptable in business terms. Recently the franchise released a beta version for a Battlefield where cops fight the war on crime. The beta was so bad, the game is now being postponed until sometime next year.
The consumers have spoken, and they want either a Bad Company 3 or something like it. Businesses, both large and small need to listen to their customers and provide the best products and services they have to offer. Gamers might be willing to pay an extra $60.00 for a premium membership if the game itself is premium.
In business you can't ignore the customer, and that's what they're doing. If you have a great product why change it? The Ford Taurus was once the #1 selling car in the United States, after they changed the appearance sales figures plummeted. The gaming industry is no different. Either provide the customer with what they want, or go in a different direction and target another customer base. It's impossible to run a profitable business if you fail to understand and listen to your customer.
Now it's time to see what the Battlefield franchise is made of. If they don't go back to their roots, customers will spend their money on a different war franchise that will listen to their wants and desires in a video game, both in single player and multiplayer modes.
Business owners, vloggers, bloggers, and websites all thrive on one thing; being the masters of their niche market. For some, going mainstream and facing the giants of an industry that's already saturated can work, but unless they bring value to the consumer they're going to be overlooked. While everyone goes macro, small businesses and individual bloggers must think micro when starting out. Being unique is what gets exposure, and the creativeness and passion behind what these people are trying to accomplish will show much more than those who are subconsciously more concerned about acting like or competing with the big boys.
A niche market is often overlooked by the conglomerates, bigger websites, and blogs, which opens the doors for the individual writer or small business owner. When you find that niche and get a good foothold on it, you must stick with it and grow your following and customer base without changing your identity. Too often after a year or two of success, these small businesses and blogs begin to get overconfident, and reach for consumers or viewers who are not part of the original niche they were marketing to. This eventually leads to loyal customers leaving, and what you're left with is a blog or small business that is directional-less.
You may be the captain of your ship when it comes to your business or blog, but it's the followers and customers that steer it. Ultimately it's them who take your niche market and grow it, not the other way around. When you get that strong loyal group, listen to them and they'll help you get more exposure. Remember, your decision to enter a niche market has given you the opportunity to grow your business or website into something more, and if you try growing it yourself and go in the wrong direction, you're going to have many followers and customers, but they won't be loyal nor profitable in the long run.
Niche marketing can be profitable. If your content or products bring value to the consumer they'll return, bringing more people with them the next time they visit your store or website. You built a community that was unique and brought like-minded individuals together, and now that community is growing on its own without you forcibly marketing to multiple groups. The niche market you got into has brought in niche consumers, and that's how you become successful, by naturally building off what you started and what the consumer continued.

East Berwickshire councillor Michael Cook.
A root-and-branch revamp of Scotland's planning system must include safeguards to ensure the protection of wildlife, ministers have been told by Scottish Borders Council.
The Scottish Government believes the current set-up is unwieldy and over-bureaucratic and is keen to simplify it.
"We want Scotland's planning system to help deliver more high-quality homes and create healthy lives with developers inspired to invest," states the foreword to the Scottish Government's 50-page consultation document on its proposals for change.
"We want to reduce bureaucracy and improve resources so the planning system can focus on creating great places. To achieve this, we can remove processes that do not add value.
At the final council meeting before May's local government election, outgoing East Berwickshire councillor Michael Cook claimed there was a "glaring omission" in the blueprint.
"There is not a word about the impact of planning policy and decisions on the natural world, and we, as a council, really must say something," said Mr Cook.
"It seems that housing and economic development are the paramount considerations before which all others fail, yet the natural environment around the world and here in the UK faces catastrophe.
"Between 1970 and 2007, there has been a 96% reduction in our tree sparrows, a 72% reduction in corn buntings and a 50% fall in yellowhammers.
"In 1950, there were 36 million hedgehogs in the UK – today there are just one million – while three species of British bumblebee are now extinct.
"Common juniper, the small tortoiseshell butterfly, skylarks, red squirrels, slow worms, even the stag beetle – all are in decline.
"This is what happens when we allow our wild places to be grubbed up, drained, felled, ploughed or buried beneath concrete, and it is time the Scottish Government, instead of posturing and focusing on quick political goals, really got to grips with land use.
Mr Cook's comments on the need for wildlife protection to be a material consideration in a new planning system brooked no dissent and will be conveyed in a letter to the Scottish Government from the council's chief planning officer, Ian Aikman.
The Scottish Government consultation ended on Tuesday, April 4.


Michigan Officials Charged in Flint Water Poisoning, But Gov. Snyder Has Not Even Been Questioned | Democracy Now!
investigative reporter for the ACLU of Michigan. His work focuses on emergency management and open government. Guyette just won the 2016 Hillman Prize for Web Journalism, and he also won an Aronson Award for Outstanding Pioneering Reporting.
The first criminal charges have been filed in the ongoing Flint water contamination crisis that exposed nearly 100,000 residents to poisonous levels of lead. Two state employees have been charged with misleading the U.S. government about the problem: Michigan Department of Environmental Quality employees Stephen Busch and Michael Prysby. Meanwhile, a Flint employee, Michael Glasgow, is charged with altering water test results. The charges come as Michigan's Republican Governor Rick Snyder said he has not been questioned by prosecutors in connection with the crisis. Protesters have called for Governor Snyder to resign over his handling of the Flint water crisis, which began when the city's unelected emergency manager, appointed by Governor Snyder, switched the source of the city's drinking water from the Detroit system to the corrosive Flint River, and the water corroded Flint's aging pipes, causing lead to leach into the drinking water. We get reaction from Curt Guyette, an investigative reporter for the ACLU of Michigan who helped bring the crisis to light. His work focuses on emergency management and open government. Guyette just won the 2016 Hillman Prize for Web Journalism as well as the Aronson Award for Outstanding Pioneering Reporting.
StoryDec 21, 2016Flint: As 2 Unelected Emergency Managers Are Charged over Water Poisoning, Will Gov. Snyder Be Next?
AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. I'm Amy Goodman in Denver, Colorado, with Nermeen Shaikh in New York. We're on a 100-city tour. We'll be at Boulder Theater tonight. And on Friday night, we'll be at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. But right now we're turning to Michigan. Nermeen?
NERMEEN SHAIKH: We turn now to Michigan, where the first criminal charges have been filed in the ongoing Flint water contamination crisis that exposed nearly 100,000 residents to high levels of lead. Two state employees have been charged with misleading the U.S. government about the problem: Michigan Department of Environmental Quality employees Stephen Busch and Michael Prysby. Meanwhile, a Flint employee, Michael Glasgow, is charged with altering water test results. On Wednesday, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette announced the charges, saying there are more to come.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL SCHUETTE: These employees of the Department of Environmental Quality had a duty. They had a duty to protect the health of families and citizens of Flint. They failed. They failed to discharge their duties. They failed. They failed in their responsibilities to protect the health and safety of families of Flint. They failed Michigan families. … Each and every person who breaks the law will be held accountable. We'll follow the facts without fear or favor, and we'll go wherever the truth takes us—and in this case, wherever the emails take us. These charges are only the beginning, and there will be more to come. That, I can guarantee you.
NERMEEN SHAIKH: The charges come as Michigan's Republican Governor Rick Snyder said he has not been questioned by prosecutors in connection with the Flint water contamination crisis. At a news conference Wednesday, Snyder said he doesn't believe he broke any laws.
GOV. RICK SNYDER: We've been fully cooperating with this investigation, and we'll continue to do so. And we'll pursue any wrongdoing and hold people accountable. … With respect to this investigation, I have not been questioned or been interviewed at this point in time. Our office has been cooperating.
AMY GOODMAN: Protesters have called for Michigan Governor Snyder to resign and face charges. The Flint water crisis began when Flint's unelected emergency manager, appointed by Governor Snyder, switched the source of Flint's drinking water from the Detroit system, which it had relied on for more than half a century, to the corrosive Flint River. The water corroded Flint's aging pipes, causing poisonous levels of lead to leach into the drinking water, among other poisons.
Well, for more, we're joined now by Curt Guyette, investigative reporter for the ACLU of Michigan, who helped bring this crisis to light. His work focuses on emergency management and open government. He just won the 2016 Hillman Prize for Web Journalism, as well as the Aronson Award for Outstanding Pioneering Reporting.
Curt Guyette, it's great to have you back on Democracy Now! and to have spent time with you in Flint. Talk about the significance of the charges against these three men who work for the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.
CURT GUYETTE: Well, there's a lot of significance in a lot of different ways. But certainly, what they established in these charges was the misconduct and, really, the willful disregard for the well-being of the people of Flint in multiple different ways. From the beginning, the plant wasn't ready to begin operation, yet state officials forced the city to rush into treating the river water rather than staying on the Detroit water. The fact that they didn't require corrosion control, which was a major fact in this, that they didn't use corrosion control caused the lead to leach into the water. And then, after they started to see that their mistakes were resulting in high lead levels, they attempted to cover that up, either by altering evidence, tampering evidence, as the charges say, the way they were conducting the tests, multiple ways they were trying to minimize the amount of lead being found in these tests to cover up the fact that they made a tragic mistake in switching to the river in the first place and not using corrosion control, as the law requires.
NERMEEN SHAIKH: Well, Curt Guyette, I want to go to a clip that appears of you in the documentary Here's to Flint. Curt Guyette questioned Flint's former water quality supervisor, Mike Glasgow, about the city's lead testing.
CURT GUYETTE: How are you able to determine that every one of those homes had a lead service line?
CURT GUYETTE: Why was I not provided with those records when I filed a Freedom of Information Act request?
CURT GUYETTE: Right. So you don't necessarily have all the records?
MICHAEL GLASGOW: That could be a possibility. I can't [inaudible] now.
CURT GUYETTE: So, how were you—again, how were you able to determine that every single house had a lead service line?
MICHAEL GLASGOW: We're not, really. We throw bottles out everywhere just to collect as many as we can to try to hit our number. Yeah, we're still looking for the records.
CURT GUYETTE: Even though it's after the fact. The reports have already been submitted.
MICHAEL GLASGOW: Oh, yeah, the reports have been submitted.
CURT GUYETTE: And the compliance—and the compliance was based on those reports.
MICHAEL GLASGOW: That's how they base their compliance, yes.
NERMEEN SHAIKH: That was Curt Guyette in the ACLU documentary Here's to Flint. So, Curt Guyette, Michael Glasgow was one of the people charged. Could you respond to what the charge was and whether you think it was adequate?
CURT GUYETTE: Glasgow was in charge of the city's water treatment plant at the time. He was also overseeing the testing. And what's being called into question, in part, is the way the tests were conducted. And so, yeah, I think it is appropriate. I mean, he was on the front lines. And a lot of people I talked to in Flint think that Mr. Glasgow is a good guy, that he was being helpful in doing the tests, and have some good feelings toward him. He's also—he spoke out, in an email, when they were ready to bring the plant online. He said, "We're not ready to do that." And so, there was a little surprise, I think, that he was charged, because, in some ways, he did try to do the right thing.
But the bigger picture is that the actions of all three people who have been charged so far resulted in the contamination of a town's water supply and the lead poisoning of people, especially children. And so, the fact that they're bringing criminal charges seems entirely appropriate. And I think what's also important to point out is that when these charges were announced, the attorney general, the state attorney general, said this was just the beginning, which is the way these investigations typically go. You start at the bottom, bring charges against people, use that as a wedge and pressure them to give up more information, and then you work your way up the ladder, which is what the attorney general indicated is going to happen in this case.
AMY GOODMAN: So, Curt Guyette, let's talk about that ladder. Governor Snyder says he hasn't been questioned by prosecutors. What is the governor's role here? Do you think he'll be charged? Do you think he should be charged? And what should he be charged with, if so?
CURT GUYETTE: You know, Amy, I just can't answer that. I think the investigation has to run its course. And it's going to uncover more information as it goes along. Right now there's not any evidence indicating that the governor was directly involved in this, but not all the evidence has come out yet. And as this goes along, as people get charged and there's deals worked out with whatever information that they give up, and then they keep moving up the ladder. I thought it was a little surprising that the governor hasn't been questioned to this point, but maybe that's part of the investigation: They're waiting 'til they have everything in hand before they go and start asking the governor questions about this.
AMY GOODMAN: Curt Guyette, this is such—this is such an astounding story. I mean, you have April 2014—Flint is cut off from its traditional supply of half a century, the Detroit water system, which was fine, to save a couple million dollars, and linked to the corrosive Flint River. Then, within months, the GM plant in Flint said they couldn't work with the water, because it was corroding the engines that they were producing. And the unelected emergency manager, chosen by the governor, gave them a waiver to link back to the Detroit system, as the people were protesting and increasingly getting sicker. Isn't this an indication that the governor's man in Flint knew exactly what was happening?
CURT GUYETTE: Oh, definitely, people should have known what was happening when that occurred, just the general aesthetics of the water, the bacterial contamination, and then the contamination of the water with a carcinogenic byproduct of chlorine. You know, it was just—they didn't know what they were doing, and they were bumbling from step to step to step. But then they were also trying to cover up their problems. But certainly, last July, when we published the—Miguel Del Toral's EPA internal memo, sounding the alarm, everybody knew at that point, or should have known at that point.
Here's one thing I think is also interesting in this, which is, one year ago, almost exactly one year ago, on the one-year anniversary of the changeover, there was a protest in Flint, maybe a hundred people marching through the streets, little kids with bullhorns saying, "Stop poisoning the children." And no one was paying any attention at all. And in this past year, it's gone from that situation to everybody knows about Flint. The problem with lead in water has become part of a national conversation. And it's because those people who were protesting were relentless in trying to get to the truth. And that gets overlooked a lot in this, how citizen-driven exposure of this crisis has been, and where it's led because of those efforts.
AMY GOODMAN: Curt Guyette, you were—you are an investigative reporter who's won a number of awards. You were challenging these officials. Emails were released that showed that the governor was being warned by his own staff that this is an absolute crisis. What do you think is the most damning of those emails that indicate the chain of command and what Governor Snyder knew?
CURT GUYETTE: You know, what I have seen so far has—it's come very close to the governor, in terms of his inner circle being warned that there was a problem. But as you say, when GM got a waiver to switch back to the Detroit system while the people of Flint were forced to continue drinking poisonous water, so there was failure all the way along the line. But again, anything directly implicating the governor, I haven't seen anything yet that shows that. There was a kind of firewall. And what took place, if it took place at all, was conversations. There wasn't emails, that I've seen yet, directly linking the governor into this.
But here's another thing. Of the emails that were released, one of them had to do with state police bicycle patrols in Flint. And the governor was directly communicating with people about these bicycle patrols and how they were being received by the public. So he was, you know, very much hands-on with something as relatively minor as that, but yet he was supposedly completely out of the loop with all this Flint water crisis? It's really kind of hard to believe.
AMY GOODMAN: Curt Guyette, we thank you for being with us and for your investigative reporting. His work focuses on emergency management and open government. Curt Guyette just won the 2016 Hillman Prize for Web Journalism and the Aronson Award for Outstanding Pioneering Reporting.

To keep your mouth healthy, regular brushing and flossing, along with dental visits for cleanings and exams, are important. This is true for everyone, including your child. However, your child's mouth is very different from yours. It is constantly growing and developing. Their mouth needs to be taken care of to ensure that it develops properly. To do this, your child needs specialized dental care. At Raptou Family Dental, we offer the services needed to monitor and optimize your child's oral health. Here is what to expect when it comes to their very first visit.
When Should My Child's First Visit Take Place?
Your child should be seen by a dentist earlier than you might think. We recommend, by the guidelines set forth by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), that your child is seen six months following the eruption of their first tooth, or by the age of one, whichever comes first.
What Should I Expect at My Child's First Visit?
Your child's very first visit is usually quite short. After we bring you to the exam room, we may ask that you sit in the chair and hold your child on your lap. This will help your child to remain comfortable. We will do a quick examination of your child's mouth, looking at their teeth and gums. Their jaw will also be checked for alignment. If necessary, we will clean their teeth.
• Any issues we find in their mouth.
• Nutrition for a healthy mouth.
• Oral habits such as thumb sucking and tongue thrusting.
• The importance of scheduling 6-month visits. These visits are important for your child. Not only are they essential for their oral health, but the early visits are also important for establishing their trust and comfort with us.
Children will usually have their very first set of x-rays by the time they are six years old. This is usually the time when the adult teeth begin to emerge. The exact time at which your child will get their first x-rays depends upon them. If your child is more prone to cavities and other issues, they will have x-rays sooner than those who don't have these problems. We use digital x-ray technology to capture images of the interior of your child's mouth. Digital x-rays greatly reduce your child's exposure to radiation, while providing us with valuable insight into their mouth.
Starting your child's oral care routine early will help to ensure the health of their mouth, and set them up for good oral health well into adulthood. To schedule your child's first visit, call Raptou Family Dental today.

Pamela Anderson: the ex-star of Baywatch attacked by her nanny at six years old
"I know she'll never watch this. Not even years from now. Not even the trailer," a source close to Pamela Anderson told our Entertainment Weekly colleagues when Pam & Tommy landed on Disney +. The mini-series had not received the blessing of the ex-star of Baywatch, even refusing to answer calls from the actress who lent her features, Lily James, unlike Tommy Lee. , rather happy to make the buzz again. "Even after the #MeToo movement, Pamela is somehow still the exception to the rule. She's still being exploited," the knowledgeable source added. Because Pamela Anderson carries deep within herself a secret wound…
Pamela Anderson: this love scene with David Chokachi that pushed her ex-husband Tommy Lee to the worst
Pamela Anderson unrecognizable before Baywatch: this incredible shot unveiled by Netflix
During her visit to Cannes in 2014, the former companion of Tommy Lee had made a very painful confidence in the face of two hundred people: her babysitter sexually assaulted her when she was 6 years old. The result had upset his audience: "I went to a friend of a friend's house and his big brother wanted to teach me to play backgammon, but it turned into a back massage and then a rape. My first heterosexual experience. He I was 25, I was 12". Pamela Anderson, her throat tight, then revealed that she had suffered several other rapes. An ex-boyfriend would have forced her to agree to submit sexually to six of her friends. The trauma would have given him suicidal thoughts: "I wanted to leave this earth".
Pamela Anderson rectifies the truth on Netflix
"In her own words, through videos and diaries, Pamela Anderson recounts her rise to fame, her chaotic love affairs and the famous sextape", promises the tantalizing synopsis of Pamela, a love story, on Netflix from January 31. If she gave access to her personal archives, even very intimate, the star nevertheless refuses to see the documentary which traces her career. "The documentary, I have not seen it and I have no intention of seeing it, she recently confided in the columns of Vanity Fair. I gave full access to my archives and my newspapers, and hopefully with full transparency, it makes sense to someone." Whether Netflix subscribers will be on hand to revisit a story partly explored and twisted on Disney+ remains to be seen.
