Public Service Commission to begin hearing Line 5 testimony Friday
Thu, Jan 13, 2022 3:29 PM
By Bruce Walker | The Center Square, The Center Square
(The Center Square) – The Michigan Public Service Commission will begin hearing testimony Friday related to a permit request by Enbridge to relocate a section of the Line 5 pipeline beneath the lakebed of the Straits of Mackinac.
The MPSC will hear testimony from environmental, safety and engineering experts in testimony anticipated to extend over the course of the next two weeks.
The four-mile section of Line 5 under consideration for relocation has spanned the floor of the Straits since 1953. Enbridge received permission in 2018 from former Gov. Rick Snyder and Republican legislators to move the pipeline into a tunnel Enbridge would build for an estimated $500 million, all paid for by the campany. The tunnel would be built 100 feet beneath the lake's bed.
Administrative Law Judge Dennis Mack ruled last April that the MPSC could only review the four-mile section that traverses the Straits rather than the entire 641-mile pipeline. Mack previously narrowed considerations the commission could examine to the environmental impact of greenhouse gases resulting from the hydrocarbons transported through the pipeline.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Attorney General Dana Nessel have been attempting to shut down Line 5 since assuming their respective offices in January 2019. Whitmer announced she was revoking the easement between the state and Enbridge in 2020, and ordered the company to shutter its pipeline by May of 2021.
Enbridge has countered that the governor does not have the authority to shut down Line 5 for two reasons. The first, according to Enbridge, is the pipeline is protected by a 1977 international treaty between the United States and Canada. The second reason given by the Canadian-owned Enbridge is that jurisdiction over the pipeline belongs with the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.
A study released by the Consumer Energy Alliance this past summer concluded that total economic losses of closing Line 5 could reach $20.8 billion in lost economic activity in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania. Fifty-five percent of the state and 65% of the Upper Peninsula rely on Line 5 to meet propane demands.
"Millions of Michigan residents rely on the heating and transportation fuels provided by this pipeline," Mackinac Center for Public Policy Environmental Policy Director Jason Hayes told The Center Square. "Billions of dollars in regional economic activity, and tens of thousands of jobs across the region would vanish if it were shuttered."
The pipeline is currently operating, and plans to build the tunnel are ongoing.
"We are making progress on the Great Lakes Tunnel Project," Bob Lehto, Enbridge area operations manager in northern Michigan, said in a statement. "The hearing is an important step to acquire a permit to relocate a segment of L5 within a tunnel. Our Enbridge team is eager to start construction because the tunnel will benefit Michiganders and the region."
In a separate company statement emailed to The Center Square, Enbridge noted the pipeline is safer than such alternatives as truck, rail or lake-going barges. The company also asserts the pipelines result in lower emissions and are more reliable and affordable than the pipeline alternatives.
"It's reassuring to see that the process of finalizing the permits for the Line 5 Tunnel project is ongoing," Hayes said. "There is widespread, bipartisan, and international support for keeping this essential piece of energy infrastructure operating and for relocating the pipeline from the waters of the Great Lakes to a cement-lined tunnel, 100 feet below the surface of the Great Lakes. Getting the permitting process completed and the tunnel underway is crucial."

Japanese Glass Fishing Floats Return to Oregon Coast - Briefly
Two glass floats were found by John Forsythe of Proposal Rock Inn in Neskowin (photo Forsythe)
(Oregon Coast) – They haven't really been seen in decades – at least in any great numbers. But now they've returned for a little while, dotting Oregon beaches to the delight of many.
Glass Japanese floats were a common sight on Oregon's beaches throughout most of the 20th century, and there's still bunches of them decorating various beach houses along the coast – especially visible in Rockaway Beach. Prior to World War II, they almost covered Oregon beaches. But by the 70's or 80's, they largely disappeared, as Japan stopped making them for their fishermen and the currents had fewer of them to toss up onto these shores.
They can still be found if you know how and when to look, but they are nowhere near common. In recent weeks, they have all of a sudden returned in larger numbers. Locals and tourists alike have reported dozens on the central and north coast.
There were enough reports from various officials to quantify perhaps as many as 100 found between Newport and Astoria.

One estimate that had been going around by word of mouth was 200 found in Clatsop County alone, but that could not be confirmed.
Nala Cardillo is coordinator of the Haystack Rock Awareness Program in Cannon Beach.
"It's true: I did find a small turquoise ball float on Crescent Beach and a small turquoise rolling pin float on Chapman Beach a few weeks ago," Cardillo said.
She too has heard of numerous people making their own glass float finds.
Danielle Emerick of Newport found this glass float a few years back (photo Emerick)
Steve Meshke, head of Clatsop County Parks, said he found one himself and heard of quite a few.
"I did find one glass float on the eve of April 16, up north near Fort Stevens State Park," Meshke said. "It was about 12 inches in diameter and had netting on it. A couple of people I know found some floats during the same time frame - a total of five floats between them. I had heard reports that one person had really been hunting the beaches during that time period and they found twenty glass floats over the week period."
One of the first to be found was by a couple staying at Shaw's Oceanfront BnB in Arch Cape in early April.
David Woody, the central coast beach ranger for Oregon State Parks, also knew of a few. "There were several found south of Newport more than a month or so back but none reported to me lately," Woody said.
Odd debris have littered the beaches recently because of west winds, like this object in Manzanita
John Forsythe owns Proposal Rock Inn in Neskowin, and has found a few over the years.
"My wife and I found two glass floats recently on the beach at Neskowin," he said.
Cindy Hanson, Public Relations Manager for Oregon Coast Aquarium, had a group of friends that found several around Newport.
"They found three found at Agate Beach and two at South Beach," she said. "He was with a group of people out razor clamming."
The Agate Beach Motel in Newport also reports several guests happened across some.
Keith Chandler, manager of Seaside Aquarium, hadn't found any himself. But he said the culprit behind all this is a lot of west winds in recent weeks. These have been hitting the coast for a good month now, resulting in all sorts of flotsam being washed up on these beaches as the winds push stuff up onshore.
Currently, the beaches look as if the SOLV beach clean-up never happened. Loads of unsightly plastic bottles litter every shore in Oregon, along with bunches of rope, Styrofoam and all sorts of other puzzling objects. This is the result of west winds blowing them onto beaches.
Nature herself can be a big litterbug – it seems.
These conditions are a little unusual for the coast this time of year, although the weather pattern that's creating it isn't.
Oddities washed up in recent years in Seaside (photo Seaside Aquarium)
Dave Elson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Portland, said there's been a pretty active storm track throughout April that has resulted in a lot of winds from the west – known as onshore winds.
"We've had record rainfall this April," Elson said. "We've had a lot of days in the 60's and not in the 70's."
These conditions are often the result of onshore winds from the Pacific. East winds usually warm things up a bit.
"We've got an extended period of more onshore winds than offshore winds," Elson said.
All this will likely last a while, Elson said, as this coming week's forecast looks a lot like last week's.
West winds often blow in funky jellyfish called velella velella, although few of these have showed up just yet.
This means conditions could be good for more finds of these coveted treasures for a little while longer.
Those looking to find their own fishing floats won't necessarily have an easy time, however. They're still rather hard to find. But there are some tips.
Cardillo admits it will take a lot of good luck.
"I was cleaning up trash on the beach, and walking my dog, so I was out on the beach frequently," Cardillo said.
Because she was cleaning trash, her eyes were trained on things not from nature – something she suggests if you're going to look for your own.

Harvey's picks Giants & Gentlemen
The agency will work with Recipe Unlimited's in-house team to tap "latent brand equity" in upcoming campaigns.
Harvey's has picked Giants & Gentlemen to support new efforts to build the QSR's brand across Canada.
The agency was selected following a pitch process that began in December and included four Toronto-based shops.
Since 2014, parent company Recipe Unlimited (previously known as Cara) has built an in-house content and creative team, which has handled much of the advertising for Harvey's and its portfolio of more than a dozen restaurants (the company does work with outside agencies in some instances; it named Rethink as the new agency partner for The Keg last year and worked with Juniper Park\TBWA on campaigns for New York Fries, for example).
The company added Giants & Gentlemen to its agency roster to get a fresh set of eyes on strategy and creative as Harvey's gets into brand-building mode. Gino Cantalini, co-founder and COO of Giants & Gentlemen, says much of Harvey's recent marketing has been value-focused, but also has "great latent [brand] equity." Part of Giants & Gentlemen's mandate is to better leverage that equity and Harvey's points of difference in brand campaigns and promotional messages that will roll out this year. The first piece of work is expected to be in market this April.
Giants & Gentlemen's selection also comes after Chelsea Kellock, who previously spent five years leading marketing for Recipe Unlimited's casual dining chain Montana's, was named senior director of marketing for Harvey's in December. There are nearly 300 Harvey's locations across Canada.

Cleaning Out The Streets: Netflix Demanding Shorter Seasons Were Major Factor In Marvel Series Cancellations
Posted December 5th, 2018 by Reggie Skive
Well, for anyone anxious about the future of the surviving Netflix MCU series, 'Jessica Jones' and 'The Punisher,' I'm afraid things do not look all that great for them in the coming years, especially after the cancellation of the flagship Netflix/MCU series, 'Daredevil.' At least according to Matthew Ball, a former head of strategy at Amazon, currently with REDEF, who took to Twitter to lay out his thoughts on the current state of Marvel Television on Netflix, and what happened to the already cancelled series. The big takeaway has to do with the fact that Netflix was looking to cut down on season length in order to save money and produce better content that was easier for the audience to consume and enjoy, while Disney/Marvel was not interested in cutting down series length for characters on a platform they were not profiting from, especially just to indulge the business strategy of another company.
Here's a bit of Ball's Twitter post:
10/ Netflix reportedly wanted to shorten the seasons, thereby reducing total spend and improving retention and quality (Netflix's shows, especially the Marvel ones, are famously bloated). Reportedly from 13 eps to 6-8.https://t.co/FduR4bW4I8
— Matthew Ball (@ballmatthew) December 3, 2018
You can read the full explanation over at Ball's Twitter feed here.
To be fair, 'Iron Fist' Season 2 seemed to benefit greatly from a reduced episode count, though the argument could be made that the quality improvement had more to do with firing the Season 1 showrunner than with simply reducing the number of episodes. On the other hand, 'Luke Cage' Season 1 also suffered from the bloated season syndrome, as the second "Diamond-back' half of the season was easily the worst part of its initial outing, and had the show only been 6-8 episodes and focused solely on Cottonmouth, it most likely would have been stronger for it.
But it does feel like this was bound to happen regardless, as Disney is very interested in their own streaming services at the moment, with Disney+ in the works, and Marvel being one of their most valuable IPs, it does not make a lot of sense to continue loaning valuable characters to Netflix, their primary competition in the streaming market. It seems that while episode length may have been the straw to break the proverbial camel's back, it would have happened one way or another regardless. Here's hoping that Marvel TV does not lose these characters entirely though, as I believe the fan base is still strong enough to follow them to Hulu or FX (as long as the 20th Century Fox deal goes through).
What are your thoughts on this potential reason for 'Daredevil,' 'Iron Fist,' and 'Luke Cage' getting canceled? Do you think they are waiting for 'Jessica Jones' and the 'The Punisher' to air their latest seasons before cancelling them as well? Feel free to share your theories below!

Boys basketball: No. 4 Hillhouse tops No. 10 Weaver at GHPA Spirit of Doc Classic
By Joe Morelli
Published 10:16 pm EST, Saturday, December 16, 2017
HARTFORD — The two-time champs are primed and ready for a three-peat it seems — albeit in a different division, so to speak.
Fourth-ranked Hillhouse dismantled No. 10 Weaver 80-56 at Stan Ogrodnik Court Saturday at Trinity College. It was the final game of five at the third annual GHPA Spirit of Doc Classic.
Hillhouse won the last two Class LL state championships. The Academics are now one of 21 teams in Division I in this new five-division format. Weaver is also in the division.
Hillhouse lost four starters from last year's team, but appears to be ready for another banner season in pursuit of that 25th CIAC state championship banner.
"I've got some young guys who aren't as disciplined as they should be," Hillhouse coach Renard Sutton said. "The more we get in shape, the more settled down, relaxed and we get comfortable with the fact of being out here playing in these big games."
Davon Warner was the game MVP with 18 points. Mekhi Warren, the one returning starter, finished with 15 points and five blocks.
"It's defense first," Warren said. "It's all of us together. Whoever is down, we have to pick him up. Senior or not, we've got to play together."
Tristian Reid led Weaver with 15 points.
"We knew it was going to be a tough matchup," Weaver coach Reggie Hatchett said. "Our starting point guard is ineligible until Jan. 18 (Armani Anderson), probably our best ballhandler. The way the schedule worked out, we had to take teams that would agree to play us. Hillhouse is a team we would rather play later in the season as opposed to a first game. I have a lot of young guys."
Hillhouse now gets to face Wilbur Cross Wednesday.
"We'll use these first five games and come out strong," Sutton said. Hillhouse follows up with Middletown, Windsor and Career. "For us, it's representing 480 Sherman Parkway (the school's address), coming out and trying to execute our stuff. Use these as gauge games until February."
East Catholic 89, Middletown 62: Joey Reilly led six players in double figures with 16 points for top-ranked East Catholic defeated fellow Central Connecticut Conference rival Middletown 89-62 at the third annual GHPA Spirit of Doc Classic at Trinity College Saturday.
Will Pineo added 16 points for the Eagles.
"We shared the ball and were able to execute. We settled in and got the jitters out. I thought we played well," East Catholic coach Luke Reilly said. :They have been in a lot of big games and this was an awesome atmosphere. It was a great game for a lot of different guys. I just think we need to tighten things up defensively."
Reilly dismissed the notion of extra pressure of being preseason No. 1.
"The polls don't really matter until the end," Reilly said. "They do a good job staying detached from that, keeping their egos in check and come ready to work."
Middletown coach Rick Privott liked the way his team competed in the early going.
"We are going to have to fine-tune a whole lot of things, stop the turnovers, box out better on defense and work to help each other out," Privott said.
Prince Tech 67, Bloomfield 55: Delshawn Jackson poured in 31 points and added six rebounds to earn game MVP honors for Prince Tech.
Kazell Stewart added 13 points for Prince Tech. Alfonzo Stokes led the Warhawks, a Class M state finalist last season, with 17 points.
Ledyard 43, Northwest Catholic 35: Ken Turner had 10 points and eight rebounds as Ledyard came from behind to win the opener at the Classic.
Northwest Catholic led 14-2 after the first quarter.
"Trevor (Hutchins) and Kenny are the only ones out there that really had varsity experience," Ledyard coach Dave Cornish said. "The other guys, it was just nerves (for the slow start). That's all it was. … I would say it will take eight games to figure it out. I don't know who will start the next game. We're going to try and put the rest of the pieces together."

When it comes to hiring a Christian comedian that will entertain guests in your Christian gathering or fellowship, you should employ ardency and at the same time exercise due diligence. Basically, there are so many Christian comedians in establishment and these comedians are overly advertised far and wide. As a result, the process of hiring a comedian becomes quite daunting. Nonetheless, where you are well oriented, you will manage to identify the best clean comedian who will create a jovial event and environment. This article pinpoints tips or factors that will enable you plan your event appropriately and at the same time, hire the best Christian comedian.
The very first consideration to make is having a budget that will ultimately govern the decisions you make. The success of your event will be determined by the budget that you have. Hiring a Christian comedian will ultimately cost you and the best way to keep your expenses within your financial capabilities is by creating a budget. A budget plays an integral role as it will help determine the distance where your comedian will be coming from and the duration of their performance.
Once you develop a budget for hiring a comedian, you should endeavor to scrutinize the attendees. Different attendees have their different needs. For instance, the comedy that will appeal for millennials might not make sense to the seniors. Therefore, examine the attendees closely and note their age brackets, their gender and their preferences. For instance, where you have non-Christians on board, the comedian will have to balance their comedy which will meet the preferences of Christians and the non-Christians as well.
You need to consult with other Christians who have at one given moment hired a clean comedian. These are the people who will help you generate a list of the available comedians. Once you have your list ready, you should use the internet search engines to determine whether the clean comedian is reliable, credible, repute and above all worth hiring. A comedian will always avail their demos on their official website and these are the demos to review. Through reviewing the demos, you will get acquainted with their type of comedy. If your sense of humor lacks or is wanting, ensure to have two or so people reviewing the demos as well.
The last but not the least, endeavor to examine the availability of the comedian. Clean comedy demands advance preparation. Therefore, ensure to settle for a comedian who is not booked the day before your event and the one after your event as well.

India's services sector grew at its slowest pace since October 2011, according to The HSBC Services Purchasing Managers' Index, based on a survey of 400 companies.
"The HSBC India Composite Output Index fell from 54.8 in February to 51.4 indicating that activity increased slightly, and at the slowest pace in 17 months. Output growth eased across both the manufacturing and service sectors," a HSBC PMI press release states.
Commenting on the India Services PMI survey, Leif Eskesen, Chief Economist for India & ASEAN at HSBC said, "Growth in service sector activity slowed notably due to a deceleration in new business flows. Moreover, backlogs of work and hiring rose at a slower pace. Even so, businesses remained confident about the future. Encouragingly, input prices and prices charged inflated less fast. Despite this the scope for further rate cuts is limited, and the next cut may well be the last."
New work intakes in the Indian service sector rose for the seventeenth successive month during March. Despite being solid, the pace of expansion eased to the slowest in the current sequence of growth. Manufacturing firms also signalled a weaker increase in new orders.
March data pointed to a further rise in outstanding business levels across the Indian private sector. Manufacturing companies indicated that unfinished business volumes were accumulated in tandem with persistent powercuts. Services companies mentioned that greater inflows of new business resulted in higher backlogs of work. In response to higher workloads, service sector firms added to their staff numbers during March, marking a 13-month sequence of employment growth. Manufacturers also signalled increased payroll numbers but, as was the case with services, the rate of job creation was moderate.
Continuing the trend that has been observed throughout the past four years, input prices in the Indian service sector rose during March. The rate of cost inflation was solid, but the slowest in the year to date. Subsequently, services companies increased their selling prices. The rate of output charge inflation was, however, moderate and weaker than February.

Nokia Announces 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Android Devices
On Monday in Barcelona at MWC, Nokia announced its first three Android supported smartphones. They are the Nokia X+, the Nokia XL, and the Nokia X (above, respectively). These are not even in the same zip code as the high-end Galaxy S5 we saw earlier. That said, it is sizable first step for Nokia, who has focused on Windows Phones thus far.
Stephen Elop, executive vice president of Nokia's Devices & Services had a few things to say in regards to the new Android phones:
Nokia has connected billions of people around the world, and today we demonstrated how our portfolio is designed to connect the next billion people to great experiences…Our deliberate approach is to offer four tiers of products including our affordable entry-level devices like the new Nokia 220; our entry-level Asha touch phones like the new Nokia Asha 230; our new Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia XL smartphones primarily for growth economies; and our Lumia portfolio, which is where we introduce the greatest innovation and provide full compatibility with the Microsoft experience.1
It should be noted, however, that these new devices do not run on a pure Android OS, but rather what Nokia calls, "Nokia X Software Platform." Further, the official press documents refer to the Nokia X line as, "a family of smartphones that run Android(TM) apps, Microsoft services and signature Nokia experiences."2 The release went into more details about the OS:
The Nokia X family features Nokia's renowned handset quality and design, with a fresh, tile-based user interface inspired by our Lumia family. All devices come with Fastlane, a screen which lets people switch between their favorite apps more smoothly. People can access curated, quality-tested apps from Nokia Store, more than a dozen third-party app stores and by sideloading.3
As the OS is essentially a gutted version of the open-source Android, the feel and function of the new Nokia X series will not be anything like that of other Android devices. Nevertheless, it is interesting to see Nokia play with the idea of using Android.

Q: HERE Autocomplete API: Horribly Inaccurate Results, Ignores House Numbers Getting really inaccurate results w/ HERE Autocomplete API.
Example:
Searching for "2215 E 2" in US with proximity lat/lon set just blocks away from location:
http://autocomplete.geocoder.api.here.com/6.2/suggest.json?query=2215+e+2&maxresults=50&country=USA&language=en&prox=40.593791,-73.961245&resultType=houseNumber

Returns results that don't even have '2215' as house number or not even at least a partial string match of "2215 E 2" - here are some examples of incorrectly returned results:
"United States, NY, Brooklyn, 2002 E 2nd St"
"United States, NY, Brooklyn, 2003 E 21st St"
"United States, NY, Brooklyn, 2001 E 22nd St"
"United States, NY, Brooklyn, 2001 E 13th St"
"United States, NY, Brooklyn, 2002 E 8th St"
"United States, NY, Brooklyn, 2001 E 19th St"

Looks like HERE API completely ignores house number in many cases. But for some reason when searching for the same using the HERE mobile app, I get correct results. So there must be something else employed that is not listed in the API docs.
Logically API should first return exact string match, then partial / fuzzy results.
Are there any additional search operators that need to be used in the query string?
How to get exact string match on partial the address like in HERE app?

A: The autocomplete api tries to get matches even for a single letter. Since you have provided prox paramater in your request you are explicitly telling the api that results closer to it are more important to you. That is why the results returned are ordered according to the distance from your prox. You can see the distance displayed in your response. Removing the prox will order the results according to most relevant match.
prox - A type of Spatial Filter. Sets a focus on a geographic area represented by a single geo-coordinate pair and optionally a radius (in meters) so the results within this area are more important than results outside of this area.
Update: Try using mapview for your usecase to get the results you need. It is also suggested in developer.here.com/documentation/geocoder-autocomplete/topics/using-autocomplete.html.

Allen 'created magical products, experiences, and institutions, and in doing so, he changed the world,' Microsoft's current CEO, Satya Nadella, said in a statement.
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has died at age 65 from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Allen passed away Monday afternoon, according to his company, Vulcan. The news comes just weeks after Allen revealed that his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma had returned after successful treatment in 2009.
In a statement, Allen's sister, Jody Allen said: "My brother was a remarkable individual on every level. While most knew Paul Allen as a technologist and philanthropist, for us he was a much loved brother and uncle, and an exceptional friend."
Allen is best known for co-founding Microsoft with Bill Gates in 1975 after they both decided to drop out of Harvard. He himself suggested the name for the company, which would go on to become one the world's biggest tech giants.
In a statement, Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella said Allen "created magical products, experiences, and institutions, and in doing so, he changed the world."
Allen resigned from Microsoft back in 1983 after he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. By then, he was also growing tired of Gates, who he believed was trying to dilute his stake in Microsoft. Nevertheless, Allen's shares in the company would make him one of the world's richest men; his estimated worth was at $20 billion. According to Vulcan, which manages his assets, Allen spent $2 billion of his personal fortunate on philanthropy.
"Millions of people were touched by his generosity, his persistence in pursuit of a better world, and his drive to accomplish as much as he could with the time and resources at his disposal," Vulcan said in a statement.
Our industry has lost a pioneer and our world has lost a force for good. We send our deepest condolences to Paul's friends, the Allen family and everyone at Microsoft.
Very sad to hear of Paul Allen's passing. His passion for invention and pushing forward inspired so many. He was relentless to the end. My heart goes out to Paul's family and friends.
Outside of his involvement in Microsoft, Allen is also known as the owner of the Seattle Seahawks and the Portland Trail Blazers. Vulcan said there are no imminent changes for the company. "We will continue to work on furthering Paul's mission and the projects he entrusted to us," it added.


As when I was volunteering I was also doing my GCSEs and sometimes had to prioritise this my manager was very understand as long as I gave her a reasonable period of notice.
This was my first job and with that in mind it was a good job to ease me into working life as i only did one day a week for a few hours after school.
A typical day at work was not that busy however it got busy during lunch time. I learnt how to use a till and customer service. The management was dealt well as if i was not able to work i could tell them and have the day off. The workplace culture was fun as if it did not close i would still work there every Saturday and anytime i can as extra work time. The hardest part of the job was dealing with many customers at a time. The most enjoyable part was getting to know colleagues and working together as a cohesive unit.
This is a workplace that has a lovely environment and staff work well as team members.
There is much support for family and friends as well as for the patient. There is a lot of training programmes available which help to develop ones skills and knowledge in palliative care.
I enjoy patient contact and time allows this to be possible in the hospice. Allowing time to find out more about the patients and their needs, likes, desires during this very difficult time.
A rewarding and nice place to work.
Sorting out donations, tagging and pricing items and displaying them in the correct way. Keeping the shop floor clean and tidy. Dealing with customers and helping with their needs. Management are fair and share the work load equally. Co- workers are friendly and easy to work alongside. The hardest part is carrying heavy donations ie; furniture and large electricals through to the back of the shop. The most ejoyable part is working as a team and seeing donations being sold to help the Hospice continue to care for terminally ill patients.

Arizona man went to Washington for day of Capitol riot, appears to talk about plans in video
Anne Ryman
A Queen Creek man who acknowledges he was in Washington, D.C., for last week's rally by President Donald Trump also appears to be shown in videos taken the night before talking about plans to go inside the U.S. Capitol.
In one video that has been widely viewed on Twitter, he can be heard saying, "I don't even like to say it because I'll be arrested. I'll say it. We need to go into the Capitol."
Ray Epps told The Arizona Republic in a brief telephone interview Monday that he had traveled to the capital for the event, and that he had been advised by an attorney not to speak about it.
"I think the truth needs to get out," he said.
He said he would be putting out a statement on Tuesday and added, "I didn't do anything wrong."
A video online appears to show him saying, "We're here to defend the Constitution" and "We need to go into the Capitol."
Asked about it, he first told The Republic he would need to see the video. When read a transcript of the comments, he said, "The only thing that meant is we would go in the doors like everyone else. It was totally, totally wrong the way they went in."
Five people died as a result of the event, including a Capitol police officer, and scores of people nationwide have been arrested since then on charges including violent entry and disorderly conduct.
A person who resembles Epps also appears in video of the first people charging past a line of barricades at the Capitol. An image of that man appears on an FBI news release of people being sought for information about the riot.
Epps said he is a law-abiding citizen. He declined to comment when asked if he is pictured on the FBI's page.
Epps is described as the owner of Rocking R Farms in Queen Creek and the Knotty Barn, a wedding and event venue in the East Valley, on a website for those venues.
The night before the riot
Various videos posted online from Jan. 5 show a man who resembles Epps on the street in a public gathering the night before the siege.
In a video taken the night before the rally in Washington, D.C, the man who resembles Epps speaks for a video that was livestreamed by far-right social media personality Tim "Baked Alaska" Gionet. (The man discusses being from Queen Creek around 4 hours and 8 minutes into the video.)
The man, wearing a khaki shirt and red Trump ballcap, says he is from Queen Creek, Arizona, and is with "the Knotty Barn."
The man expresses concern for various people who are in the crowd on the street that evening. He says that people are "straggling out in 1s and 2s. That's not smart, man. We need to find someone to announce they need to go in groups."
While speaking on the livestream, he mentions that he despises Black Lives Matterand despises Antifa and that he has "stood them down myself."
At another point, he says, "We need to go into the Capitol."
The day of the riot
Other video taken the next day shows a man who resembles Epps outside the U.S. Capitol, wearing desert camouflage and an identical red Trump hat. One video shows people in the crowd smashing police barricades and pushing past officers. The man resembling Epps stands among them, but does not appear to shove the barricades.
An image from one of those videos is listed on an FBI website that seeks the public's help in identifying people who may have entered the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Epps declined to comment on whether he was the man in the FBI photo. "I can't comment anymore," he said.

"Spooky" Quantum Biology Might Cause Your DNA to Mutate
It's hard to conceptualize the bizarre quantum behavior of subatomic particles, which are often too tiny, fleeting, and counterintuitive to conceptualize on any tangible scale. But new research bucks that trend, suggesting that an unusual quantum phenomenon could have a serious impact to biological structures — even causing point mutations in molecules of DNA.
The upshot is that the hydrogen bonds that link together two spiraling strands of DNA are prime for an unusual quantum process called proton tunneling, according to research published by University of Surrey scientists last month in the journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics.
Proton tunneling happens when a proton seemingly vanishes and reappears elsewhere on the other side of a physical or energetic barrier. Protons are massive compared to other subatomic particles that exist on the quantum scale, so it's not as common to see a proton tunnel as it is to see something like an electron tunnel. But it is possible, and when it happens within a DNA molecule, it can essentially move atoms to the wrong place, leading to a mutation in the genetic code.
"Many have long suspected that the quantum world — which is weird, counter-intuitive, and wonderful — plays a role in life as we know it," lead author and Surrey chemist Marco Sacchi said in a press release. "While the idea that something can be present in two places at the same time might be absurd to many of us, this happens all the time in the quantum world, and our study confirms that quantum tunneling also happens in DNA at room temperature."
The odds that one of these quantum mutations would lead to medical problems down the line is rare — the paper notes that the DNA molecules are capable of righting themselves in fairly short order. But just like with any other mutation, it is possible that these mutations take hold and propagate through the DNA replication process, potentially causing issues or even increasing the risk of cancer.
"There is still a long and exciting road ahead of us to understand how biological processes work on the subatomic level," study coauthor and quantum biologist Louie Slocombe said in the release, "but our study — and countless others over the recent years — have confirmed quantum mechanics are at play."


The public apology of Oscar De La Hoya to Top Rank promoter Bob Arum and pound f or pound king Manny Pacquiao has been gratefully accepted by Arum and indications are it will pave the wcay for WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire's return to the ring.
De La Hoya said "Dear Bob Arum first I would like to humbly apologize for any pain I have caused to you and or youre family. I also want" want to apologize to Manny Paquiao for any wrong doing in my part.you are a great champion. I have realized that by accepting my mistakes everyone around me will hopefully forgive me."

#powerball $1 million Powerball prize claimed by 10 co-workers from Carpet Discount Warehouse of Charlotte
They work together, they play together and - now - they've won a $1 million prize together.
Since 1990, Charlie Rush has owned and operated Carpet Discount Warehouse on Independence Boulevard in Charlotte. Over the past several years Rush and his employees have pooled their money to get a Powerball ticket for each of the twice-weekly drawings.
Rush collects the money and buys the tickets, often at the Queen City Food Mart just half a mile down the road. He plays special numbers he came up with long ago based on his father's advice.
Wednesday night, those numbers won $1 million.
Kirk Rush, Charlie's son and part-owner of the business, was the first to realize the group's good luck the morning after the drawing. As is his routine, he was at home checking the numbers on the computer when he saw that the group's ticket matched all five white balls in the drawing - beating odds of 1 in 5.1 million - and winning them $1 million.
"I screamed as loud as I could for my wife," Rush recalled. "I set the screen down in front of her and said, 'You see that? That's a million.'"
Rush wasted no time making phone calls to share the news with the other nine group members: Each of them had won a $100,000 share of the prize.
"I hear Hawaii is nice this time of year," said installation specialist Tony Young.
Two other winners said a portion of their $69,250 in after-tax winnings would be used to go on vacation. Israel Barker, a sales associate, planned to take a two-week trip to the beach over the July 4 holiday. Kirk Rush said his family was Florida-bound.
Other winners said they would tithe to their church, pay bills, save for the future, and share with family. The group said they planned to keep playing Powerball the same as they have been.
The members of the "Carpet Discount Warehouse" team are:
Jean Atkinson of Matthews
Israel Barker of Charlotte
Robert Coulam of Charlotte
Reid Glenn of Waxhaw
Gelacio Rios of Matthews
Charlie Rush of Matthews
Kirk Rush of Matthews
Johanna Tinajero of Charlotte
Amy Watkins of Greensboro, Ga.

I know it's an ugly beast, but the 6R4 is easily the best rally car I've ever driven. Enormous power with four-wheel-drive traction was a brilliant combination, but the transmission also brought other advantages in grip, stability and braking. Aerodynamics performance, too, was an area where the car was a pioneer, as other manufacturers had always believed rallying speeds weren't high enough for wings to work.
The handling is balanced and forgiving as long as you drive the car correctly. You can't power the back out like a normal rear-drive car, so you have to knock it out with a touch on the brakes, using the left foot. Once the back is sideways and you have the car pointing into a corner, you can hold this attitude on the power and opposite-lock in the normal way - and it feels great! It took a lot of development to make the car handle well. Only Audi was using four wheel drive when we started, although the quattro system of the time was rudimentary. We took the next step, in effect, but the 6R4 project was a bit 'suck it and see' because no one had much clue about four wheel drive. Early on we went through the most basic testing, going round in circles at given speeds to analyse the effect of various differential settings. Even when the car was reasonably well sorted, there still remained a significant predictability problem. You would crank open the power in the middle of a corner and find that initially all four wheels would step outwards, but then the back would suddenly snap - so you couldn't drive with outright commitment. Eventually the cause was traced to the viscosity of the centre differential, which was tightened way beyond Ferguson's advised setting. Instantly we got the car behaving predictably.
I tested a car with and without wings at Gaydon. Driving it in wingless form through a section we called the 'bomb hole', I had to brake and drop to fourth gear. Then I did the same with the wings bolted to the car - and stormed through in fifth without lifting. The speed difference must have been 120mph against 105mph - spectacular.
The five speed gearbox has a dog leg first gear, which I requested during development. This decision came from my experience with the TR7, which had the dog leg to fifth. When braking from 130mph in that car, I found its tendancy to become unstable wasn't helped by the awkward change from fifth to fourth. With the 6R4, however, this factor didn't arise because stability was excellent. So I lumbered the car with an awful first/second change - the one that gets used on every rally stage!
The other great advantage of four wheel drive is braking in a different league. Stopping the TR7 was a balancing act locking front tyres on the loose or often the rears on tarmac - and even killing the engine. With the 6R4s big 12 inch discs, you plant your foot on the brake and the car just stops, with no drama and just a bit of transmission chatter.
The trouble with the V64V engine was its peakiness and a horrible hole in the power band between 4000-6000rpm. We repeatedly asked for improvements, but our dyno engineers said that their readings showed no trough of any significance. Only after the project was abandoned, with the complete closure of the Motorsport Department, did the truth emerge. A new dyno, which ran with the correct exhaust system, showed the drivers were right because the exhaust was the cause. Suddenly we found the flexible engine we'd always wanted - the best engine I've ever experienced. Discovering this earlier would have made all the difference. I remember seeing the contrast between the International and Clubman engine while testing in Wales in the early days. The clubman car spared the driver a lot of gearchanging, and was only a second slower on our test stage. The difference was stark on the hairpins: the clubman would pull low down and go round tidily in second gear, whereas the international 'works' car would need first gear, scrabble for grip and lose time with the extra gearchange. There's no doubt that, had the engine worked as it should, it would have been the way to go because it had masses of torque and loads of revs, upto 10,000rpm on the early cars until the cam belt problems occured. But when the car was working it was incredibly quick. I once got a 0-60 time of 2.8 seconds out of it and something equally phenomenal when we tried the 100-stop time.
The original cars were built at Williams and, as they were hand built, they were the best handling cars we ever had, really stiff. Once we had to go the production route at Longbridge and build the 200 homologation cars things weren't quite so good.
I don't know how we ever managed to get the car built. It took so long to make it happen and Patrick Head said when the first car was ready that by now we should be working on the evolution version. But the was the problem with such a big company, and that's why small units like Prodrive are successful these days. There was such a small window of opportunity for us in those days and had it not been that John Davenport and Harold Musgrove were at the company at the same time, I doubt it would ever have happened. But it was fantastic while it lasted.
