$4b energy deal - Inter-Energy acquires JPPC from I Squared Capital
Published:Wednesday | March 20, 2019 | 12:06 AMNeville Graham/Business Reporter
The entrance to Jamaica Private Power Company Limited, at Rockfort, Kingston.
In a deal said to be worth $4 billion, the owners of Jamaica Energy Partners (JEP) have snapped up rival energy outfit Jamaica Private Power Company (JPPC) giving the American parent control over 250 megawatts of domestic rated capacity.
The Jamaican assets now held by Inter-Energy Group also include West Kingston Power Partners (WKPP).
CEO of Jamaica Energy Partners-WKPP, Wayne McKenzie, says the JPPC acquisition – which added 60MW to Inter-Energy's Jamaican portfolio – is not a short-term play but a strategic move by the parent company to deepen its involvement in the local energy market.
"Having had three power plants and three companies in Jamaica, it made sense for us to acquire JPPC. There is no intent to flip; we're here for the long haul," McKenzie said in an interview with the Financial Gleaner.
JEP has been part of Jamaica's energy landscape since 1995, when the company commissioned the Doctor Bird 1, a 74MW power barge at Old Harbour Bay in St Catherine. They later added the Doctor Bird 2, a 50MW barge at the same location. The 66MW WKPP onshore facility was added two years ago.
McKenzie says Inter-Energy saw the opportunity to pick up a new asset when it became clear that infrastructure private equity firm, I Squared Capital, the latest owners of JPPC, wanted to pull out.
"What they're doing is keeping their larger plant and offloading the smaller one," McKenzie said of I Squared Capital's move to dispose of JPPC. "In our case, although we have 120MW of ownership, we're growing our portfolio," he added.
As to the cost of acquisition, McKenzie said he was not at liberty to disclose the terms and conditions of the deal. However, the Financial Gleaner understands that the deal was worth about J$4 billion, inclusive of about J$2.3 billion (US$18.5 billion) of debt.
The JEP-WKPP management has already taken full control of the JPPC plant. The former general manager of JPPC, Ingrid Christian-Baker, did not make the transition. She is said to have resigned from JPPC just before the takeover by Inter-Energy.
Inter-Energy took control of the Jamaican operation on March 12. McKenzie and the same team that manages JEP and WKPP will also be in charge at JPPC, but each company will continue to operate as standalone businesses.
The JPPC plant at Rockfort in Kingston utilises slow-speed diesel generators to produce electricity, which it sells to the national grid as an independent power provider, and McKenzie says the plant will continue to operate on that technology.
"Slow-speed diesel remains the most efficient technology around, so although we're transitioning to gas and renewables, there is a need for a baseload component that is also reliable," McKenzie said, while noting that parent company Inter-Energy has a diversified energy portfolio spanning various countries.
"Our intention is to grow in Jamaica, just like we've done in Panama where we have medium-speed diesel, wind power and solar. We have absolutely no difficulty in investing in the renewable or the gas space as well," he said, hinting at the possibility of further investment in Jamaica.
"We need to invest by acquiring and developing assets here. The company is in a growth mode and the company will be in a fundraising mode. The chairman's stated aim is to grow within the Latin America and the Caribbean," McKenzie said.

CAL FIRE PIO: Just In – The #ButteFire in Amador & Calaveras counties is now 71,780 acres & 40% contained.
We know people are anxious to get home and know the status of their homes and property. Emergency personnel understand the devastation and uncertainty people are experiencing as a result of the fire, but public safety is our main concern. We want to provide as much current and updated information as possible, so a website specific to the Butte Fire has been created to provide consistent information to all affected. It can be accessed at http://butte.calaverasgov.us. This website includes press releases from CAL FIRE and the various County departments and also provides information regarding resources available to the community.
Repopulation is occurring in San Andreas and throughout Calaveras County. Evacuation orders in certain areas have been lifted for RESIDENTS ONLY; however these areas continue to remain under an evacuation advisory. As residents return to their homes, please remember that an active fire is still on-going, use caution as emergency vehicles and personnel are still in the area and be alert to any changes in fire conditions. CAL FIRE releases information regarding repopulation in the form of news releases as soon as an area is able to be repopulated. The repopulation news releases are available at www.fire.ca.gov.
CAL FIRE also releases incident update sheets twice daily. The incident update sheets include information such as acres burned, containment percentages, resources fighting the fire, structure information, evacuations, etc. These incident update sheets can be found at www.fire.ca.gov.
PG&E has been working diligently to restore power to surrounding areas affected by the Butte Fire. Yesterday, PG&E was able to restore power to 1,200 customers in Calaveras County. 4,500 customers remain without power and PG&E is hoping to make progress in restoring them today if CAL FIRE deems those areas safe. As people begin to re-occupy their homes, they should be aware of safety concerns while using their backup power generators. You are responsible for making sure that the electricity from your generator cannot "backfeed", or flow into the PG&E power lines. For safety's sake, be sure to use your generator correctly. If you do not, you risk damaging your property and endangering the lives of PG&E line workers who may be working on power lines some distance from your home. For additional information about generator safety, please visit http://pge.com/generator.
The American Red Cross, in the first 5 days of this incident, has provided shelter for more than 1,000 evacuees, and provided more than 4,500 meals with the help from over 75 volunteers. The American Red Cross will continue to meet the needs of the evacuees as long as they are needed. For more information about how your local Red Cross is helping, please call 916-588-6678.
Wildfire Food Safety Measures: Before and After Power Outage. Amador County Environmental Health and Amador County Public Health caution community members to follow food safety measures during and following a wildfire. The Butte Fire has also caused prolonged power outages that can lead to spoilage of refrigerated foods.
Strong south to southwest winds will continue today with gusts around 30 mph in exposed locations. Isolated showers are possible across the area today but little measurable rainfall is expected. A cold front will approach from the northwest on Wednesday, increasing southwest winds ahead of the front. High pressure will return for the end of the week with temperatures creeping back into the 90s by the weekend.
The northeast portion in the Mokelumne River drainage will be active with a strong southwest wind increasing spread to the east. The drainage splits into two main branches with a dominant ridge in-between. The fire has progressed to the east on the south side of the south fork of the Mokelumne River. There is a high potential for spot fires on the ridge dividing the south fork and the middle fork of the Mokelumne River, with spread into the drainage of the north fork of the Mokelumne River. The east side of the fire has transition areas from trees and brush into grass fields. Spotting into these fields is a strong possibility with the increasing wind. These spots will have a moderate to rapid rate of spread and will transition again into brush and timber. The south portion of the fire is in the grass oak woodland, which has the high potential for spot fires, however the wind should be more favorable for control efforts. There is still potential for a spot to cross the line with the increasing wind and get into the San Antonio Creek drainage. The east side of the fire is also in the grass oak woodland and will have favorable winds during and changing directions across the line in the overnight hours. Spotting potential will be reduced in the overnight hours but is still a strong possibility. Air operations will be limited until the smoke lifts out of the area.
CAL FIRE PIO: Just In – The Butte Fire in Amador & Calaveras counties is now 71,660 acres & 37% contained.

Das Dampfschiff La Palma (IMO-Nr.: 5200899) ist ein im Hafen von Santa Cruz de Tenerife erhaltenes Museumsschiff.

Geschichte
Der Bau der La Palma wurde von der Reederei Cia. de Vapores Correos Interinsulares Canarios aus Las Palmas, einer Tochtergesellschaft der britischen Reederei Elder Dempster, nach einer zweiten öffentlichen Ausschreibung zu Subventionen für den Verkehr zwischen den Inseln, in Auftrag gegeben. Gebaut wurde das Schiff 1912 bei der Werft W. Harkess & Son in Middlesbrough. Nach dem Stapellauf am 3. Februar 1912 folgte am 10. April des Jahres die Fertigstellung. Am 16. April wurde das Schiff in Fahrt gesetzt und verkehrte nach der Überführung ab Sommer 1912 überwiegend auf küstennahen Routen um die Kanarischen Inseln, unternahm aber auch vereinzelte Reisen zum damaligen Spanisch-Westafrika.

Im Jahr 1931 wurde die La Palma erstmals verkauft. Die staatliche spanische Schifffahrtsgesellschaft Compañía Trasmediterránea erwarb die Flotte der "Correillos", damit auch die La Palma und setzte das Schiff danach weiterhin im angestammten Inseldienst ein. Nach einem Kesselschaden wurde das Schiff am 17. März 1976 schließlich außer Dienst gestellt und im darauffolgenden November an ein Mitglied der deutschen Industriellenfamilie Flick veräußert, um als schwimmendes Clubhaus zu dienen. Im Jahr 1986 ging die La Palma an eine Interessengemeinschaft, die das Schiff restaurieren wollte. Nach zahlreichen Schwierigkeiten war das Schiff zum 100-jährigen Jubiläum weitestgehend wiederhergestellt.

Technik
Der Rumpf des Schiffes ist genietet, die Aufbauten, die bis zu 190 Passagieren, 1973 laut Zulassung bis 266, Platz boten, sind mittschiffs angeordnet. Sie wurden im Lauf des Betriebs mehrfach modernisiert und umgebaut. Die beiden vorn liegenden Laderäume und ein dritter, achtern befindlicher Stauraum  werden mit herkömmlichen Scherstöcken, hölzernen Lukendeckeln und Persenningen seefest verschlossen. Das Ladegeschirr besteht aus Ladebäumen.

Angetrieben wird das Schiff von einer bei MacColl & Pollock in Sunderland gebauten Dreizylinder-Dreifachexpansions-Kolbendampfmaschine mit 700 PS Leistung. Bis 1951 wurden die beiden Dampfkessel mit Kohle befeuert und danach auf Schwerölfeuerung umgestellt.

Democratic Senators Urge Justice Department Leadership To Protect Robert Mueller
The nine lawmakers asked for "a written and public commitment" that DOJ officials wouldn't interfere with Mueller's probe.
Aaron Bernstein/Reuters
President Donald Trump reportedly has tried to fire special counsel Robert Mueller in the past.
Several Democratic senators sent a letter to senior officials at the Justice Department urging them to publicly defend special counsel Robert Mueller in response to ongoing attacks about his investigation from the White House.
"We have significant concerns that the president or his White House could order individuals at the Department of Justice with the authority to oversee Special Counsel Mueller's probe to interfere with the probe or shut it down," the letter, dated March 7 but released on Tuesday, reads. "You fall in the line of succession at the Department of Justice ... we write to request that you provide a written and public commitment that you will not interfere."
With Pres. Trump's disdain for the Special Counsel investigation clearer than ever, we need to be ready if he orders Justice Dept. leadership to interfere with it or shut it down.
— Richard Blumenthal (@SenBlumenthal) March 27, 2018
The letter was signed by nine Democratic senators: Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), Patrick Leahy (Vt.), Dick Durbin (Ill.), Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.), Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), Chris Coons (Del.), Mazie Hirono (Hawaii), Cory Booker (N.J.) and Kamala Harris (Calif.).
It was reportedly sent to a coterie of Justice officials just below Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in case he "were to either resign or be removed."
The letter references reports that President Donald Trump ordered White House Counsel Don McGahn to fire Mueller last June as well as Trump's repeated social media attacks on Attorney General Jeff Sessions, calling it all deeply concerning.
"You have an oath to uphold the rule of law and protect the Constitution," the senators wrote. "This includes refusing to take part in any effort to deny the American public access to the truth and refusing to participate in any attempt by the president to interfere with a legitimate and critical investigation of national importance."
Earlier on Tuesday, Sens. Coons and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) released a bipartisan statement asking Trump to end his attacks on Mueller, saying the ongoing investigation was "in the best interest of the American people."
"We believe that the American people should have confidence in the Department of Justice's ability to conduct independent investigations and its commitment to the rule of law," the pair said. "We urge President Trump to allow the Special Counsel to complete his work without impediment."

What? It's not your birthday?
That's ok. It's not my birthday either. But it is the birthday for this website, and I hope you'll join with me in celebration.
It's a… it's a… a Website!
The birth of this website comes after a long gestation period, and though it's not even close to what my wife went through when she was carrying our son (now 11 years old), believe me when I tell you: I'm glad it's finally here!
I started coding websites in 1998. At the time I was a Pastor in central New York State. The church had a website, but the guy who had put it together was gone and nobody else knew anything about websites. I'd done some programming back in my high school days. I was a physics major in college. I programmed computers to automate lab equipment. I had always kept fiddling around with computers as a hobby. So why not give it a go?
I've been building websites ever since. It's kind of an obcession. Or maybe it's an addiction. Either way, I must be a little weird.
As I said, I was a pastor. How a physics major got to be a pastor is another story. But as a pastor, I was in charge of a nonprofit organization. I faced the problems leaders of nonprofit organizations face: member participation, fundraising challenges, providing community services, outreach to business and government partners — you name it.
My wife, also, has been the director of several nonprofit organizations over the years: from community associations for the deaf and hard of hearing to state councils on trade policy. And when those organizations needed websites, guess whose name she kept in her Rolodex for that!
The upshot of all this is that now, in 2015, I find myself at the intersection of having years of personal experience in the nonprofit world and a wealth of hands-on experience building websites. I know and live and breathe both of these worlds every day.
So today, with the birth of this website, I'm putting that experience at your disposal.
Here on CASPAR.green, I'm sharing my experience of building websites that work, especially for nonprofits. In 17 years of building nonprofit websites, I've seen a lot. I've learned a lot. I've got a pretty solid grasp of what works and what doesn't.
The work of your nonprofit is too important for you to go through 17 years of trial and error. That's why I'm giving my 17 years of experience to you. I don't want you to have to learn the hard way. I've been there. I know the landscape. Now, I'm giving you the map.
I see way too many nonprofits limping along with bad websites, websites that don't work and use up precious donated dollars with no returns, websites that are damaging their public image. It doesn't have to be that way.
A website that works is an asset to your nonprofit, and it's an essential component of any nonprofit organization's life. Helping you have a website that works is my mission. It's what gets me into my office every morning.


After the video leaves off, she was taken to a trauma center in Memphis (incidentally, the officer who beat her up was supposed to be the one to accompany her down there, but she objected to that). They didn't want to treat her head wounds because they didn't want to touch her weave, and she says she felt like they just didn't want to touch her at all.
In all, she suffered from lacerations and contusions on her head, scarring and bruising on her side, and permanent nerve damage on the left wrist from the handcuffs.
After that, she was held in jail for several days until she could post bond.
All this, for what? Because she was presenting the wrong gender, had the wrong skin color, and walking down the wrong street?
Since the release of the video last week, Wells said that he received a "tremendous number" of phone calls from people who had gone through similar incidents, with McRae and other officers. Looking at the case history, he said that the department's constant defense in the few cases that make it to trial is that this is just one bad cop.
The excellent Renee at the excellent blog Womanist Musings has sent some love my way. I'm honored by her comments about my post and return the love several fold – she is a passionate writer who daily covers important topics related to women, and particularly women of color. My hat is off to you, Renee – keep up the good work.
Crystal, the creator of Share the Love requests that the blogosphere help educate people about the importance of organ donation – her own son's life was saved because of such a gift. I will add that for people of color, widening the pool of organ donors is critically important in order to increase the possibility of matching within our communities.
Go give these fine folks a visit.

'I choose the river'
After leaving her counterinsurgency career, Euphrates Institute founder Janessa Gans Wilder has worked to support peace builders worldwide.
By Mark Sappenfield Editor
Standing on a rooftop in Iraq in 2004, Janessa Gans Wilder had to make a choice.
Several miles downriver from where the Central Intelligence Agency officer stood, the brutality of war was unfolding with unimaginable force. The battle for Fallujah raged, and the violence seemed insatiable – every day unleashing new terrors. "It was darkness and despair," she says.
But looking out over the Euphrates River on that day in Ramadi, she saw a different scene. "The river was life, and calm, and peace. And I realized this was the same river that was flowing through Fallujah," she says.
Which picture would she choose? Out loud, she said, "I choose the river." And in a moment, a career spent staring at the darkness was transformed into one searching for the light.
I talk to amazing Monitor readers every day. So every so often, I want to introduce you to some of them, like Ms. Wilder. Monitor readers are a remarkable community of people committed to not only seeing good, but using that as a basis from which to bless the world. And the stories are worth sharing.
Ms. Wilder had asked to go to Iraq, not wanting to be an armchair analyst. And that desire brought its own courage. "It comes from heart, from deep caring about the mission and about people," she says.
After her rooftop moment in Ramadi, Ms. Wilder found her courage taking new forms. Switching from counterinsurgency officer to political officer, she became such a help to the Iraqis that the prime minister's spokesman told her, when she left, that she had become one of them. Since 2006, she has worked through the Euphrates Institute, which she founded, to support peace builders worldwide.
The goal is to create a community where peace builders can learn from one another – where the picture of peace is present and practical, she says. "What does it look like to choose peace?"
What has she gained during the past 14 years? "I've been humbled." From Sudan to Cameroon to Israel, the grace she has witnessed, she says, goes beyond all human reason – seen in forgiveness, persistence, and the sacrifice of daily working in war-torn areas. And that is the same picture she sees in the Monitor.
"People are scared of looking into the darkness," she says. "But we don't have to be afraid. The Monitor holds our hand. ... The Monitor goes into the darkness – right to the core of the hardest issues – but it doesn't stay there. It finds the light."
This summer, Ms. Wilder will be stepping down as CEO of the Euphrates Institute, though it continues on. "It's always been about serving the values, not leading a structure," she says.
And while she doesn't yet know what's next, her time with the institute has left its own lessons about peace building. "If these people are risking their lives for peace every day, then what can I do? What does that look like for me?" she asks. "That, to me, is how you change the world."

Dr. Joel Myhre
Parkland District Representative
Dr. Joel Myhre maintains a steady balance when it comes to his family, career and his new position on the Doctors Manitoba Board. He knows what his priorities are and ensures that his time is spent accordingly.
"I don't wish for a redistribution of my time," he says, "only that I had more time to spend on the things that I put value on."
Dr. Myhre brings this balanced approach to the Board, which will no doubt serve him well.
"I think that I have the ability to absorb information from all sides of a discussion in order to formulate an opinion and push for a reasonable resolution that will work for physicians," he says.
He understands that engagement is required in order to lead change within the evolving medical profession, and wants to ensure that he provides a voice for other physicians in his region. "As a new Board member I believe my role is primarily to educate myself about the issues we are facing and ensure that I bring the concerns from the physicians in my region to the discussions," he says. In terms of the specific concerns facings doctors in small rural satellite communities, he's experienced these first-hand, such as gaps in patient care that are increasingly being filled by Nurse Practitioners. Dr. Myhre's approach to these issues is consistently about finding equilibrium.
"There is a balance to working together with them and maintaining our roles as primary care providers."
Dr. Myhre was born and raised in Dauphin, Manitoba. After completing medical school and his residency at the University of Manitoba, he returned to Dauphin where he has been practicing as a GP Anesthetist for the last 5 years. He's inspired by the dedication of his colleagues who have long-standing practices in the Dauphin area.
"I see how hard my colleagues work, often behind the scenes, for the good of their patients," he says. "The desire to provide wide-ranging services while maintaining continuity of care is exceptional."
Dr. Myhre is able to manage his own well-being with time spent in the ER, his Family Practice clinic, and providing anesthesia in the OR, while his two boys keep him busy with their extracurricular activities. "Minor hockey is a wonderful way to ensure that your free time does not go unoccupied!" he says. However, this masterful juggling act is by design.
"I have consciously put value on time spent on my own physical and mental health as well as on the time I spend with my family," he says. "These things hold value in my mind in the same way that a twelve-hour ER shift has its rewards."
While he may not be able to claim the proverbial moderation in all things, there is no doubt that Dr. Myhre has found a fine balance.

When you first start using a trailer tent or folding camper for your holidays there seems to be an incredible number of things to remember. Don't worry though, if you become a member of the Club, we'll be there at every step to provide technical help and support.
On this page you'll find more about finding the right route and choosing a pitch. For more information on the practical things to do before you travel, look at our useful checklists page.
When you start travelling with a trailer, it can be a challenge to find the best route to your campsite.
Satnav systems have their place, but they can give a false sense of security if you're towing. Always check whether your chosen campsite suggests a particular route to site and stick to it, even if it doesn't match your satnav's advice.
It can look appealing to pitch in the shade of a tree, but the grass is often poor because it's protected from the rain, trees can drip sap and birds have a habit of roosting and leaving little presents on your lovely trailer tent or folding camper beneath. Rain will also drip from trees long after a storm has passed.
… if at all possible. It will mean you don't need to use a ramp under a wheel or find things rolling downhill in your awning.
Rainwater has to go somewhere, so try to make sure it won't travel under the path out of your unit on its way. This is particularly important if you are using an awning because you don't want water flowing through or under it.
Before you set off on your trailer tent holiday, why not print out the relevant parts of our useful checklists to make sure you don't miss anything important.


By Lauren Treiser This month's artist in focus is object maker Catherine Truman. On entering her current exhibition at Gallery Funaki, one could mistake all her pieces as installations and small scale sculptures. Upon closer inspection, it is revealed that some of the work can in fact be worn as brooches.
Truman has exhibited nationally and internationally and is represented in a number of major collections. She is co-founder and current partner of Gray Street Workshop – a collectively run studio and access facility for artists working in the field of contemporary jewellery and object making in Adelaide, South Australia.
Some uncertain facts showcases Truman's interest in the crossover between art and science. She has worked amongst scientists in research environments for many years and it is apparent where she shows off her maquettes as part of the process, just like a mathematician might show thier workings out to an equation. Truman is interested in what makes sense and what doesn't, in the crossover between natural and manmade environments. In this exhibition I found myself getting very close to the work trying to figure out what was natural and what was manufactured. With the foam objects, for instance, we can understand the crab claw but what is that other part? The artist reconfigures nature and makes her audience question it.
What she uses to formulate her work ends up forming a very big part of what she shows. The colours and textures and the feeling of certain materials blend into the finished work. A lot of the time you can't really tell what is made of paper, what's made of clay, or what is painstakingly carved from limewood. I think that the artist doesn't feel it is important for the audience to know what is natural and what is found but rather to present objects that make you think.
Truman is interested in the human form and is qualified in the Feldenkrais Method of movement education where the aim is to reduce limitations in movement and improve physical function. Her focus on human anatomy and how it is translates through artistic processes has shifted in this exhibition to the anatomical structure of sea creatures. The resulting objects characteristically carved from wood, bone, shell or wax are not exact anatomical replicas but rather evoke a sense of recognition.
So no matter if you are a science or art lover, these objects are sure to appeal to you. I love the fact that you could potentially purchase a grouping and have it in your home as a sculptural piece, and then on a given occasion decide to wear one of the parts. Enjoy viewing this exhibition and the numerous draws full of intriguing jewellery at Gallery Funaki.

Would suit a romantic daydreamer
Ok, ok, the frenzy which has erupted since Sunday surrounding the rather perky Amanda Staveley has resulted in some pretty poor journalism so far.
Clearly no one knows anything of substance other than perhaps George Caulkin of The Times,- having some degree of insight from whatever means he has.
That said, unless the Toon has a secret society of football psychics among our support I'd surely love to know how that flag (pictured above) appeared on September 16, a full two weeks before Ms. Staveley took a seat in the Directors box.
True Faith stated it was originally seen outside The Percy Arms and had nothing to do with Gallowgate Flags.
Caulkin suggested "supporter efforts" had resulted in Ms. Staveley's appearance, which seems to have some credence, though I'm bewildered as to who on the terraces actually has her in their contact list! Is Mr. Wraith, pictured sat next to her husband, involved?
Should that be the case, I would chuckle all the more at all the comments (including some of the amateur bean counters frequenting The Mag comments sections) over the years, suggesting supporters can have no impact on the Club or Ashley – or the entire skullduggery about high flying mysterious foreign investors.
Here's a North Yorkshire lass with reportedly access to £28billion of funds and the world's wealthiest in her speed dial. Mike Ashley eat your heart out – oh, and close the door as you leave.
However, I am more intrigued about Amanda Staveley herself. What no one is reporting at the present time is that she was diagnosed with carrying the gene for Huntington's disease back in 2013.
From an interview she did with the Standard back in 2014:
'The test was not fine. Staveley is almost certain to develop full-blown Huntington's disease within 20 years: the diagnosis is effectively a death sentence.'
Amanda Staveley's story reads like a work of fiction, though undoubtedly it identifies a woman of character. The details are all out there to read so I won't outline her career and life again here.
I am most interested in the current time and her recent years since the Huntington's diagnosis. She has said it has made her take stock of her life and how she realizes how money can do 'extraordinary things" and that she can help other people due to her success.
Maybe, like that flag, I too am hoping for a romantic daydreamer to buy the club – maybe Amanda Staveley is just that. A wealthy woman, with access to wealthier friends and associates and due to her roots is someone who already knows all about NUFC.
Perhaps, just perhaps, Ms. Staveley wants to leave a legacy behind which includes the creation of a successful football club and team. Surely, what better way to attain that than with our underachieving drama strewn club instead of buying a trophy laden Liverpool or Spurs?
Where's the fun, or legacy, in that…

The Role of a Yorkshire Tennis Councillor
The Yorkshire Tennis (aka the Yorkshire Lawn Tennis Association/YLTA) is a representative organisation which has elected Councillors that control the governance and policy of the organisation. In addition, it may elect Councillors directly due to specific skill requirements.
Yorkshire Tennis is a body that is governed through a set of Rules and nothing in this role description is intended to change the operation of these Rules. The purpose is to lay out the expected requirements of Councillors in their acceptance and performance of the role.
Purpose and Accountability
While representing a District or a set of clubs/registered venues, the Councillor has a duty to represent his/her constituency but has an overriding duty to act in the best interests of the Yorkshire Tennis, its development and tennis in the county. It is expected that anyone who accepts such election/nomination is prepared to take an active part in Yorkshire Tennis's pursuit of its objectives.
Councillors are encouraged to express their views at Council meetings or other meetings but once a decision is made, they have collective responsibility to support the implementation of the decision.
Councillors will uphold the general policies of the LTA and Yorkshire Tennis such as the Equality and Diversity policies.
The principal aim and duties of a Councillor are:
To engage with the Yorkshire Tennis in Council and other related meetings such as sub-committee meetings.
To be diligent in reading any papers before attending relevant meetings and to inform him/herself of the merits of any proposal by, if necessary, seeking views from his/her constituency or other expert sources.
To set aside the requisite time to attend and prepare for meetings.
To seek views and be a communication channel for their local registered venues. Where necessary act as a source of advice on general policies and programmes or direct club volunteers to the appropriate resources and pages of the relevant websites.
To ensure that their registered venues are aware of both the LTA and Yorkshire Tennis activities and initiatives such as GBTW and the Road To Wimbledon and to encourage their participation in all the events.
To do their utmost to become more involved in committee meetings, competitions or other related activities if they are invited to do so.
The rules of Yorkshire Tennis stipulate that Area representatives may be elected for up to four periods of three years subject to confirmation at the AGM. Further service is defined in Rule 7.4.
Councillors are expected to attend all four Council meetings per year with their attendance being a matter of public record. Should a Councillor be unable to attend a minimum of two Council meetings per year then the President may ask the District to appoint a new Councillor,having taken into account relevant issues such as ill health or work commitments.

Home Afghanistan Weekly Kabul-Moscow flights to begin
Weekly Kabul-Moscow flights to begin
Ariana Afghan Airlines has resumed flights to Moscow after nearly one year of suspension with flights from Kabul to Moscow each Monday and return flights each Tuesday, said the Ministry of Transportation and Civil Aviation.
"The previous government had some problems in flights with Moscow, and therefore the flights were suspended," said Imamuddin Ahmadi, a spokesman for the ministry. This comes as tourism companies complain of a collapse in business. They called the resumption of flights effective for the Afghan economy.
"The people are facing a lot of problems. If the flights are resumed, it is clear that they will help the economic condition of the people," said Suhrab, head of a tourism company. The economists believe that the resumption of flights will bring more opportunities for transit and trade for Afghanistan.
"The direct flights can save the time of passengers. The flights can be effective in transportation, and cause an upsurge in trade and transit," said Shakir Yaqobi, an economist. According to available numbers of the Ministry of Transportation and Civil Aviation, more than 20 flights come and go from Kabul airport on daily bases. Three of these flights are domestic and the rest are between Turkey, Qatar, Iran and Pakistan.
Meanwhile, officials from the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation (MTCA) says that in twenty-four hours, sixty to seventy planes pass through the country airspace, and Afghanistan earns $700 from each plane passing through the country's airspace.
Based on reports, in the previous government, in 24 hours, around 300 planes were crossing over the country's airspace. This shows a significant decrease in the number of airplanes flying over Afghanistan's airspace.—Tolonews

Daytripping in Baltimore, Columbia and Allegany County
By Eddie Applefeld · August 20, 2021 · No comments
Photo by Eddie Applefeld (DiPasquale's)
Much to my surprise, I received more positive feedback than normal from my last article. As a reminder, it contained a few restaurant comments and five relatively unknown attractions in Maryland. So I'm not going to argue with success. I'm going to repeat that format. I shouldn't mention this, but I was going to do the same thing regardless of comments. But let's not tell anyone.
Perhaps many of you are not familiar with an area of Baltimore called Brewer's Hill. It's basically east of Canton and has become the new 'it' neighborhood. 'It' neighborhoods have to contain, in my opinion, plentiful and expanding lodging, many retail choices, good dining, and maybe recreational opportunities.
Regarding dining, I call your attention to DiPasquale's Market Place, 3700 Toone Street, just off Boston. Open Monday thru Saturday you can shop the numerous Italian delicacies for taking home and also dine there. During my two visits, both areas of the marketplace was very busy. And they do cater.
In business since 1914, obviously, not at his location, they are a well-established Baltimore tradition. At this location, Joe Di Pasquale has made this a family gathering spot. His wife is here along with maybe 5 or 6 other family members. It could be more than that but I stopped counting.
The restaurant menu includes pizza, all day breakfast, homemade soups, Italian subs, cheesesteaks, sandwiches, hot subs, salad, pasta, appetizers, and larger entrees. I ate, and thoroughly enjoyed the sautéed calamari. Outside seating is available and plenty of free parking.
This is indeed a very welcome addition to Brewer's Hill….410-276-6787…highlandtown@dipasquales.com
Okay, we're now on our way to Columbia. At this location, we'll be going to drop by two restaurants, owned by the same family. Stop one is Tino's Italian Bistro, 8775 Centre Park Drive, exit 3 off Maryland 100. Yes, indeed Italian is the theme. Opened in January 2015, open six days (closed Monday), seating for about 120 inside and 40 outside, weekly specials, a bar with TV, will cater off and on-premise with a menu that goes from appetizers to lighter fare to hoagies, calzones, and strombolis, soups, salads and more.
It is locally owned by Nicole and Lance. They both put in long hours to assure quality service and food…Reach the restaurant at 410-730-8466 or tinositalianbistro.com.
Photo by Eddie Applefeld (Periodic Table)
Why did the chicken cross the road, probably to get to The Periodic Table, just across Centre Park Drive from Tino's. This is a totally different concept. Open seven days, seating for 225 inside, 50 outside, bar with TV, opened in August 2020 (that took confidence), music Tuesday and Saturday night, comedy night every other Wednesday, weekly specials* and here's something a bit different a Drag Brunch the last Sunday of the month. And finally, Thursday is paella night and half-price wine bottles. Eddie's note – it's not just bottles, there is wine inside.
Okay, that * means Lance didn't refer to this as weekly specials. He likes the term 'formulas of the week.' Who am I to argue?
I of course asked how they came up with the name (it isn't because Lance or Nicole are chemists), more to do with the pairing or chemistry between the entrée and the various spirits offered. Lance called it 'an international fusion.'
Menu items include starters (like nachos and ribs), pizza, soups, salads, kids menu, sammies and burgers, big plates and bowls, and sides. Reach them at 410-753-0299 or the periodictablecolumbia.com.
By the way, if you can recite the entire periodic table you'll get an extra umbrella in your drink.
Okay sit down we're about to embark on a quick four-stop visit to more attractions that might not be familiar to most.
We'll begin at the Appalachian Trail, where some of it winds its way through Maryland. In total it is 2,185 miles from Georgia to Maine. There are 41 manageable miles in Maryland, from the West Virginia line to the Pennsylvania border.
Along the way, you'll pass through Boonsboro's Washington Monument State Park and discover the first U.S. monument to Washington. Also, Gathland State Park, which contains the National War Memorial Arch. Tip – be sure you'll in shape for the trip.
Next, Rocky Gap State Park, in western Allegany County. Opened in 1974 with 3,000 plus acres it is home to the Rocky Gap Casino. Lake Habeeb is here, some say it has 'the bluest water in the state'. The park has campgrounds playgrounds and boat rentals….888-432-2267
So here we are at Crystal Grottos Caverns, 19821 Shepherdstown Pike Boonsboro. Discovered in 1970 and opened two years later. Open daily 10-5, $20.00 for adults (cash only)….301-432-6336
And our last stop, the Paw Paw Tunnel, Allegany Ct, Old Town Maryland. It's on the C & O Canal Towpath and named after a Maryland fruit. Built to bypass Paw Paw Bends, a six-mile stretch off the Potomac. Contains over 6 million bricks, 3,118 feet, and costs about $600,000. It's been in use since 1850. Said to be haunted.
Okay, I'm done, for now. Let's all take a rest.

The Arditti Quartet have commissioned hundreds of works for string quartet over the years and three of them were on offer in this recital. With the exception of Jonathan Harvey's Quartet No. 3 and Iannis Xenakis' Tetras the music was disappointingly prosaic, even if it was wonderfully played.
Thomas Adès' Arcadiana (his first string quartet) is almost conservative in tone, so much so that it recalled Mozart and Schubert (and much else besides on its slow path from beginning to end). Its derivative nature is its chief disappointment: Adès' usual grasp of the inventive here showing signs of fatigue and numbness. The fast uneven numbered movements lumbered, the pastoral movements showed glimpses of idyllic imagery but largely the work remains emotionless to its middle core. Adès is still young but this work showed signs of an over-complex mind unable to grasp the complexities of the quartet form.
Jonathan Harvey's Quartet No. 3, however, was an entirely different matter - a taut, rancid-toned edifice that fragmented and defragmented in exhilarating fashion. Where Adès showed little desire to use the entire body of the instruments Harvey used bounced bow glissandi, harmonic trills and col legno battuto to thrilling effect. The sound was scattered like broken glass with solid string tone taken to its limit to achieve that distilled harmony. We had impenetrable silences, dissonant climaxes - a true dialectic between a harmonic world of dark textures and subtle ambience.
Conlon Nancarrow wrote little in the way of conventional music - and for that we should be grateful. His Quartet No. 3, written for the Ardittis, is a polyrhythmic work which has the quartet playing a different number of eighth notes in equal measures but at different speeds. Starting on the cello (at 3) and working up to the first violin (at 6) the works has a chainsaw regularity as it works down to first violin (at 3) and cello (at 6). It gives the impression of lasting very much longer than its 12 minutes.
Scelsi's Quartet No. 4, on prepared violins and viola (shunted up by several octaves) has a similar mechanic slant to its design - but its 'preparedness' at least achieves amplification where Nancarrow's echoes with tediousness. Low notes are rare (the cello's fourth string being heard just once) and there is a tonality which seems more monumental than the sound suggests. The performance was compelling with a fractiousness and brittleness to the playing which suggested the drawing of a long, sustained curve.
The recital closed with a true showpiece - Xennakis' Tetras. Again written for the Ardittis this work, once heard, leaves an unforgettable impression. It suggests a string quartet - but is much else besides with its homophonic interruptions and serial counterpoint. The most inventive of all the works played it breaks the seriousness of the quartet form with its crunching noises (hard staccato bowing suggesting boorish flatulence), plectrum-like pizzicato, and use of the entire instrument beyond the strings. The performance was as much one of intense musicianship as it was a multicoloured façade of imagery and humour. I cannot imagine it being better played than it was here.
The Arditti's pre-concert talk threw up some interesting chestnuts. We learned, for example, that Scelsi was obsessed by numbers - particularly the number eight. As the cellist Rohan de Saram told us, Scelsi actually died on 8 August 1988! Yet, this talk was marred by the serial interruptions of the interviewer, Humphrey Burton, who appeared to make the effort of being more unprepared than normal. In this case he thought that both Nancarrow and Scelsi were still alive. I can only assume he had prepared the interview via the programme notes, which certainly suggested this was the case ('Nancarrow moved to Mexico where he has lived ever since'). Such poor presentation does little credit to the cause of contemporary music.


Wayne Rooney says his will to win remains as strong as ever and insists he has not moved to the MLS to simply wind down.
The former England captain signed for DC United on a three-and-a-half year contract after leaving Everton at the end of the Premier League season.
The 32-year-old follows in the footsteps of David Beckham, Steven Gerrard and Jermain Defoe, who all played in the USA towards the end of their careers.
"I want to win, that's the way I have always been and while I am playing football that will remain the same," Rooney said.
"I have not come here to wind down or to just come and enjoy the place. I have come here to play and win.
Rooney, who has not played since the end of April, could make his MLS debut on Sunday when DC United host Vancouver Whitecaps, live on Sky Sports Football.
When asked if he was fit to start the game, Rooney said: "(I am) as ready as I can be. I obviously have not had as long as I would have had back at home because I have come here mid-season.


If you're looking to buy Malaysian Ringgits, it can be useful to know how the exchange rate has changed over time so you can make a more informed decision on when to buy. Unfortunately, most Malaysian Ringgit historical data are based on the unobtainable interbank rates that major banks trade at, not the 'high street' rate available to most customers. Our historical exchange rate graphs are different because we record the actual exchange rates that Malaysian Ringgits are being offered at by Ireland's biggest foreign exchange providers, so the graphs below are indicative of what you could have bought at if you ordered on the day.
Between 23rd March 2018 and 22nd April 2019 the Malaysian Ringgit rate decreased by 3.69% from 4.5481 to 4.3802. During this period the highest rate recorded was 4.9969 on 15th January 2019 and the lowest was 4.3078 on 2nd April 2019. Today's best Malaysian Ringgit rate is currently 4.3802.


If you cannot remember the last time you ever kissed with a lot of enthusiasm, it is time to alter that. Inning accordance with science, this is among the most neglected signs of misery: being not able to kiss.
This is why if you have actually been disregarding this standard human characteristic for a long time now, you need to instantly begin altering things. Intimate kissing can have an impact on our psychological, physical, and psychological health and can definitely enhance fulfillment with our relationship.
There are a lot of reasons individuals do not make love. However as it ends up, when a couple does not kiss, the only reason behind this exists is an absence of love or intimacy. So, kiss your loved one today and every day to make them feel enjoyed.
Kissing for couples can offer a warm sensation towards each other. For males, the love hormonal agent called oxytocin rises each time an enthusiastic kiss is carried out. This then improves the nurturing impulses of an individual.
Inning accordance with a research study, couples who kiss a lot are better and much healthier. Plus, they have greater opportunities of staying together than those who do not kiss frequently.
Think it or not, you can enhance your health by just kissing. A research study carried out at the Arizona State University on 52 couples who remained in a long-lasting relationship revealed that they had lower cholesterol levels.
It's not practically loving, however, the quality of the relationship too. When the couple kisses regularly, they are more meaningful with their sensations and are even much better at interacting with each other.
Inning accordance with a scientist from Lafayette College, Pennsylvania, Wendy Hill describes that merely kissing for 15 minutes can decrease levels of cortisol hormonal agent, which is the tension hormonal agent.
Kissing likewise has a function in mate choice and is, for that reason, a bond of trust. Research studies have actually assumed that the glands of the mouth and the entire face can interact with the hereditary info along with hormone and immunological details.
When kissing is gotten well, the receiver will reciprocate and the two individuals will develop or preserve sensations of approval and approval.
Frequently including yourself in an enthusiastic kiss can improve your pleasure as well as determine how pleased you remain in a relationship.

In their cramped, temporary studio space, Blugold Radio station manager Scott Morfitt (right) works the dials while host Jordan Duroe thoroughly enjoys himself.
Campus-based independent radio station Blugold Radio (99.9 FM) has launched a crowdfunding effort to pay for a new studio. The nonprofit station, which is owned by the UWEC Foundation, went on the air last summer from a temporary studio in Hibbard Hall. The new studio, which will be built near the main desk of McIntyre Library, will give the station space and flexibility for on-air features, interviews, in-studio performances, and literary readings. Blugold Radio says donations will be used for construction, ventilation, and sound dampening. If the station reaches its $7,000 goal, a donor has promised a $5,000 matching gift.

The house is a two-story residence in Santa Monica's Rustic Canyon that was built in 1980. The secluded site enabled panoramic windows to the exterior gardens that both expand the interior spaces and provide a strong connection to the surrounding gardens. The house is entered across a bridge that provides access to the middle level. Most living spaces are on the lower level with the bedrooms and home office on the entry level. There is also an "outdoor room" on an upper deck with views to the surrounding canyons. The "rustic style" of the house was chosen to match the ambiance of the neighborhood prevalent at that time.

This is a quality syringe, very smooth pull and no dripping. I still haven't found a syringe where the markings don't rub right off though.


Mani Gego is a transportation hub. Some people say that Mani Gego resembles the Hong Kong martial arts film "Dragon Inn", the air full of the heroism of Khampa men. But this is not actually the original atmosphere. What Mani Gego actually means is: the hillside is densely lined with Mani stones engraved with ancient scriptures. This was the scenery in the past but it has vanished today. What happened to all these Mani stones? Were they taken away during the Cultural Revolution or during the earlier Republican Revolution? Were they used by revolutionaries to build barracks or government buildings? And what about the remaining stones, weren't they stolen by people to build shelter for people and livestock?
At the end of July, we hurried from Dzogchen Monastery to Mani Gego and from far away we spotted a huge propaganda poster on family planning towering above the road, showing a Khampa couple dressed in Derge garments smilingly holding up Tibetan khatas; in the forefront there was a little boy holding fresh flowers and a small yak, two lambs, altogether creating an image of a happy life. Mani Gego has already lost its "Dragon Inn" atmosphere. The streets are full of restaurants and shops opened and run by Sichuan people. A couple from Nanchong (Sichuan) said that they had been running their restaurant for over 20 years and had already finished building their own house.
The yaks one used to come across from time to time on the street full of all sorts of vehicles had also vanished into thin air. Five years ago, in the summer of 2006, in Mani Gego, a yak meat processing plant set up by a Chinese company was burnt down by local Tibetans. Some of them were arrested and sentenced. On the internet it was said that the way the yaks were wantonly slaughtered in the plants deviated from traditional Tibetan customs, which in turn triggered the conflict. Is it only about this? Later when I met a friend working for the media department of Kardze Prefecture, I found out that this matter was by no means this simple.
Indeed, above all it was about a cultural conflict. My friend said that he had once witnessed the modern industrialised slaughtering methods. The workers simply use their fingers to push some central button and two metal racks which had been open suddenly close in, hereby clutching a yak of an enormous size so that it cannot move anymore; once more, the workers use their fingers to press some button and the wedged yak is suddenly being lifted into mid-air and its body is turned around. What follows is a machine initiating the slaughtering process, which happens in an instant, an entire living yak is being dismembered, flesh with flesh and bones with bones. My friend said that when the yak was being turned around he saw big teardrops coming from the animal's eyes.
Tibetans are of course also killing yaks, but only in limited numbers, and never like those processing plants engaging in continuous killings on a daily basis. Seeing the blood that flows out of the factory colouring the grasslands red, smelling the blood coming out of the factory saturating the air, of course the Tibetans in Mani Gego cannot keep quiet.
However, what makes it even more unbearable for the people is that the price for purchasing so many yaks from local people is completely unfair. The company that opened the factory and the local officials came to an agreement, so the cadres instructed the local people to offer their yaks at an extremely low price; anyone can see through the hidden intentions behind this. When the local people refused to sell yaks at such a cheap price, and when the factory went as far as making use of some greedy and money-grabbing people to acquire the yaks that believers had been raising, the long accumulated resentments exploded and the Tibetans burnt down the yak meat processing plant. Of course, the real reasons for this had to be covered up by the officials and hence the incident was portrayed as a cultural conflict.
I previously wrote: companies are like monsters, but another even more ferocious monster is the government; or in other words, it is one monster with two heads. This two-headed monster flies high the flag of "opening up" and "development" to then rattle its sabres and break into Tibetan people's homeland. But what does it also bring? I think I can arrive at the following conclusion: what it also brings is the loss of local people's human rights and benefits, which include: the loss of production resources such as land and livestock; the loss of a way of life such as traditions and customs; the loss of culture such as the right to give names; the loss of the innermost self; and finally, the loss of an entire ethnic group.
