According to a press release, the Monetary Board announced that Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor and Chairman of the Monetary Board Nestor A. Espenilla, Jr. peacefully passed away on 23 February 2019 surrounded by members of his family. The Governor, 60, had been undergoing treatment for cancer for more than a year. In a special meeting held on the same day, the Monetary Board designated Deputy Governor Maria Almasara Cyd Tuaño-Amador as BSP Officer-in-Charge effective immediately until such time that President Rodrigo Duterte shall have designated an OIC or appointed a successor.
Expect to see new signature varieties on Philippines banknotes after a new governor is appointed.

According to a Philippines Information Agency report dated 14 April 2014, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas has announced that the old series of peso notes will be demonetized in 2015, although an exact date has not yet been determined.

In 2000, five million 2,000-piso banknotes were printed featuing features the inauguration of President Joseph "Erap" Estrada at Barasoain Church in Bulacan on 10 June 1998. These notes were intended to be issued as legal tender in 2001, but President Estrada was ousted from office that year, so the notes were stored in the vaults of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. As of 2010, the bank was considering destroying the bulk of these unissued notes (known as "New Millennium" or "Erap" notes), saving only 50,000 pieces which would be demonetized for "historical, educational, numismatic and other purposes." It wasn't until 2012 that the bank began selling this numismatic product in a folder that clearly stipulates that the notes are not legal tender.

According to an article in the Manila Bulletin dated 11 January 2012, the Security Printing Complex (SPC) division of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) will begin locally printing the New Generation Currency (NGC) family of banknotes in Q1 2012, revising previous plans of printing the new bills starting in December 2011.
The BSP will start printing the 20- and 50-peso notes in the coming three months, followed by the 100-peso note later in 2012. To date, all NGC denominations have been produced by French security printer Oberthur Technologies, while SPC will continue to produce the old banknote series until next year because they still have stocks of paper and ink.

According to a press release issued by the Philippine Information Agency dated 20 July 2011, the new banknotes introduced by Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on 16 December 2010 were printed by an undisclosed French firm (most likely Oberthur Technologies), but that upgrades to the Security Plant Complex in Quezon City were under way so that the notes could be printed locally.
Curiously, the press release indicates that BSP is apparently continuing to produce notes of the old design even after it has introduced the new designs. Perhaps this is because the need for currency in the Philippines is so great that the BSP can't meet demand with only the new notes from France, or that it feels compelled to keep the local printers in business.
The press release indicates that the old designs will be phased out by 2012, and that they will be demonetized in 2013.

According to a Manila Bulletin article dated 23 March 2011, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is reordering new 500-peso (US$11.50) and 1,000-peso (US$23) notes from Oberthur Technologies. The first order was for 20-peso, 50-peso, 100-peso, and 200-peso notes, of which only a small number have been issued since their introduction in December 2010. There's no word yet on whether Oberthur intends to correct the errors which are present on the new design.
Philippine note designer explains "errors"
According to a number of sources, the new notes introduced by the Philippines on 16 December 2010 are rife with errors. The back of the 500-peso note features a rare native bird, the blue-naped parrot, with its red beak incorrectly rendered in yellow and the tail feathers underneath colored green instead of yellow. Also, the maps on the back of various notes supposedly misidentify the location of certain geographic features.
Central bank spokeswoman Fe de la Cruz acknowledged the criticism, but said space constraints limited the artist's room for manoeuvre. "In choosing the design..., we are always guided by our commitment to enrich the appreciation and knowledge of the Filipinos we honor on our banknotes, as well as the unique sites and species our country should be proud of," she said. "For our banknotes we used an artist's rendition of the Philippine map that by virtue of space and aesthetics does not reflect all of our islands and the precise coordinates of each site. Nevetheless, we appreciate constructive comments and we will take these into account moving forward."

On 26 November 2010, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) started issuing banknotes with the signature of President Benigno S. C. Aquino III, ahead of December's launch of redesigned note series. The bank stopped producing notes with the signature of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo when Aquino assumed office last June 30 and the new printing is aimed at shoring up supply. Given the fact that a new series is coming out in less than a month, notes of the old designs with Aquino's signature may be relatively rare.
In a Manilla Bulletin article dated 17 October 2010, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas is said to be close to awarding the contract to print new notes to Oberthur Technologies of France. However, it has earlier been reported that De La Rue would produce the plates for the new notes (for free, no less!) and print the first batch, which are expected to be issued in December. These reports, which contradict themselves, also contradict previous announcements from BSP that it would cease outsourcing note printing and that it had bought two superline printers to be self-sufficient in the production of its own banknotes. I find it hard to believe that all of the Philippines denominations can be printed, shipped, and distributed by this December if the bank hasn't yet awarded the contract.

According to an article in mb.com.ph dated 20 September 2010, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is considering circulating or shredding five million 2,000-piso (US$45.50) banknotes currently stored in its vaults. These unissued "New Millennium" notes are more commonly known at the BSP as "Erap" notes because the front features the inauguration of President Joseph "Erap" Estrada at Barasoain Church in Bulacan on 10 June 1998. Printed in 2000, the notes were to circulate in 2001, but President Estrada was ousted from office that year. Even if the bulk of the notes are destroyed, the BSP is considering saving 50,000 pieces which would be demonetized for "historical, educational, numismatic and other purposes." The BSP currently sells a larger version of this denomination as a centennial commemorative note (P189, shown above).
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has unveiled a new logo which will be included in the new generation of banknotes by December 2010.
The new BSP logo is a perfect round shape in blue that features three gold stars and a stylized Philippine eagle rendered in white strokes. These main elements are framed on the left side with the text inscription "Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas" underscored by a gold line drawn in half circle. The right side remains open, signifying freedom, openness, and readiness of the BSP, as represented by the Philippine eagle, to soar and fly toward its goal. Putting all these elements together is a solid blue background to signify stability.
1. The Philippine Eagle, our national bird, is the world's largest eagle and is a symbol of strength, clear vision and freedom, the qualities we aspire for as a central bank.
2. The three stars represent the three pillars of central banking: price stability, stable banking system, and a safe and reliable payments system. It may also be interpreted as a geographical representation of BSP's equal concern for the impact of its policies and programs on all Filipinos, whether they are in Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao.
1. The blue background signifies stability.
2. The stars are rendered in gold to symbolize wisdom, wealth, idealism, and high quality.
3. The white color of the eagle and the text for BSP represents purity, neutrality, and mental clarity.
Non-serif, bold for "BANGKO SENTRAL NG PILIPINAS" to suggest solidity, strength, and stability. The use of non-serif fonts characterized by clean lines portrays the no-nonsense professional manner of doing business at the BSP.
Round shape to symbolize the continuing and unending quest to become an excellent monetary authority committed to improve the quality of life of Filipinos. This round shape is also evocative of our coins, the basic units of our currency.

According to an Inquirer Global Nation article dated 11 March 2010, former President Corazon Aquino and various tourist spots—including the underground river in Palawan—will be featured in the next generation of peso banknotes to be introduced in December 2010, according to OIC Central Bank Governor Diwa Guinigundo.
All denominations (20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 pesos) are being redesigned, but their colors will remain the same. Guinigundo said new personalities will be added to some of the notes, and existing portraits will be updated, while the backgrounds and vignettes will be changed to include the country's famous tourist spots. New and old notes will circulate in parallel for up to three years.
More information can be found in this BSP press release dated 26 March 2010.

Following the 1 August 2009 death of former president Corazon "Cory" Aquino, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is considering adding her portrait to the 500-piso (US$10.50) note which has featured a portrait of her husband and former Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. since 20 August 1987. If approved, the new note would be available in the last quarter of 2010.
On 9 July 2009, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) introduced 12 million banknotes with an overprint commemorating 60 years of central banking. The overprint appears on the watermark area on all six circulating denominations: 20-, 50-; 100-; 200-; 500-, and 1,000-piso.
According to a BuinessMirror report dated 8 July 2009, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is planning to replace its existing abaca-and-cotton banknotes with polymer notes. Deputy BSP governor and officer in charge, Armando Suratos, provided no details on the timing of such a move, but stated that it would result in savings over the long term as polymer notes outlast paper notes in circulation even though they are initially more costly to produce. No further details are available at this time.

According to a 15 August 2006, article in The Manila Times, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) will cease outsourcing the printing of bank notes in 2007 in the wake of an embarrassing mistake made public last November.
In an attempt to ensure a sufficient supply of 100-piso (US$1.95) bank notes during the 2005 Christmas season, last year the BSP contracted the services of an unnamed French security printer. The move was supposed to be economical, too, since the French printer's cost of production was reportedly half that of the BSP.
Unfortunately, the outsourced 100-piso notes (Pick 194c) delivered to the BSP bore President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's surname misspelled as "Arrovo." Approximately 1,000 of these error notes were released into circulation before the mistake was caught. They remain legal tender in the Philippines, but are valued at US$20 in uncirculated condition, according to the 12th edition of the SCWPM.
A new story in the Manila Standard Today reports that 2.14 million error notes were released, and that the printer in question is Francois Charles Oberthur Fiduciare. Oberthur has reportedly agreed to shoulder the cost of a quarter of the initial print run of 77.9 million notes and will replace three quarters of that amount.
According to Inquirer.net, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), has spent P4 billion (US$89 million) on two "superline" printing machines so it will not have to outsource the printing of banknotes. Two years ago, a European printer supplied 80 million 100-peso notes on which President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's was misspelled as "Arrovo." By printing locally, it's hoped that such embarrassing errors will be a thing of the past. Also, the new printing machines will double the capacity of the Security Plant Complex in Quezon City to two billion notes annually. The new machines perform the entire cycle of banknote production, from layout to printing and bundling.

Witness of Truth: The Railway Murders is a British television docudrama, first broadcast on 11 December 2001, that dramatises the crimes committed by John Duffy and David Mulcahy, commonly known as the Railway Rapists or Railway Killers. The film, produced and directed by Bren Simson, is narrated by Lindsay Duncan, who provides additional details of the crimes, some of which are not dramatised in the film. Huw Higginson and Nicholas Marchie were cast as Mulcahy and Duffy respectively, with Steve Chaplin and Tat Whalley portraying teenage versions of the pair.

Adelene Alani acted as executive producer. Other notable cast members include Mark Spalding, who co-starred alongside Higginson in The Bill in 1995, Caroline Woodruff, Joanna Monro and Robert Swann. The film broadcast at 22:35; subsequently no viewing figures for the programme were recorded by BARB. The film has never been repeated and remains unreleased on VHS and DVD.

86 • FOODSERVICE EQUIPMENT & SUPPLIES • OCTOBER 2018 market spotlight Kum & Go. "With our 'Marketplace' store format, intro- duced in 2016, we've begun to include a selection of made- to-order and limited-time-offer sandwiches." The increased focus on food included ramping up limited time offers, which Boulden says allows for more creativity and signature items. Last year the chain's Chicken & Waffles sandwich LTO became a top seller. Other popular items include seasonal salads, breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burritos. "As the lines continue to blur between convenience stores, grocery stores and fast-casual restaurants as a place to grab a fast, tasty meal, many c-stores, including Kum & Go, are stepping up their game on taste, quality and selection," says Boulden. "In years past, c-stores were more focused on having a few simple, key offerings. Now, more and more c-stores have full-blown food programs and dedicated chef teams working on improving existing menu items and devel- oping new ones." That can mean adding house-made prep to the mix. "One example is our Grande Burritos," says Boulden. "For us to offer a great product, we felt we had to prepare the mixture ourselves instead of buying it premade. This adds another step to produc- tion, but gives us a much better product." "Retailers need to provide experience to get brand loyalty, but may only get a customer two days a week due to other options," says Krebs. "The challenge is being the differentiator." Channel Perspective The c-store channel breaks foodservice components into prepared food, commissary, hot dispensed beverages, cold dispensed beverages, and frozen dispensed beverages. These categories combined represented nearly a quarter of con- venience retailers' sales in 2017 according to data from the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS). "In our industry, foodservice is defined beyond food; it's anything that would be served in a restaurant, plus there is commissary included," says Jeff Lenard, NACS' vice presi- dent, strategic industry initiatives. As cigarette sales struggle and fuel sales remain volatile, c-stores continue to rely on foodservice to save the day when it comes to rev- enue. In 2017, pre- pared food made up almost 70 percent of total foodservice sales, while hot dispensed beverages came in second at 14 percent of sales, according to NACS' State of the Industry (SOI) report Prepared food totaled $411,507 in sales in 2017, up 3.7 percent over 2016 according to NACS' 2017 SOI. Commissary represented just over 5 percent of foodservice in the channel last year, a decrease from 2016. Sandwiches and wraps make up the majority of commissary sales at just over 53 percent, while sides and salads came in second at about 36 percent. "Retailers that compete in foodservice have to be all in; you're a foodservice operator first, then a retailer," says Lenard. To a certain extent, says Lenard, QSRs are looking like c-stores in terms of how items are being bundled. "There are plenty of convenience stores with QSRs attached," he says. "But c-stores that don't [have one] also can have multiple types of hot programs, grab-and-go offerings and other items." C-stores have long taken advantage of the coffee cat- egory, and the majority have become destinations for this beverage by commuters looking to gas up their cars or grab packaged food items to go. NACS' SOI report reveals that coffee continues to lead the hot dispensed beverage cat- egory at c-stores with close to 60 percent of sales, followed by cappuccino at 18.5 percent and coffee refills at just over 12 percent. Due to the highly competitive environment for these items, however, sales growth in this category was just .7 percent in 2017. Cold dispensed beverages continue to be a strong seller, with cold brew coffee and frozen blended beverages leading the way. NACS reports gains in this category in sales, gross profit dollars and gross margin percentage from 2016 to 2017. Carbonated drinks lead the segment, with almost 63 percent of sales, an increase of 3.18 gross margin percentage points. Other cold dispensed beverages that led the category with a combined 15 percent of sales included iced coffee, iced cappuccino, iced latte and cold brewed coffee. One category that was lacking salewise in c-store foodser- vice last year was frozen dispensed beverages, which makes up 4.7 percent of foodservice dollars, according to NACS. From 2016 to 2017, the category decreased in both sales dollars and gross margin percentage points, however average store sales grew 5.2 percent. Healthier frozen beverages are at the forefront of trends for these products. FE&S Kum & Go's bur- ritos have been a strong seller at its stores. Kum & Go has seen success with limited time offers, like its chicken and waffle sandwich, which will return with a few tweaks.

Shock Doctrine: A Look at the Mass Privatization of NOLA Schools in Storm's Wake & Its Effects Today | Democracy Now!
a former New York Times reporter, an investigative fellow at The Nation Institute and the author of four award-winning books: Fire on the Prairie, Drive-By, The Plot to Get Bill Gates and Broke, USA. His latest book is Katrina: After the Flood.
New Orleans native, acclaimed actor, Tony Award-winning producer and community activist. His new book is The Wind in the Reeds: A Storm, a Play, and the City That Would Not Be Broken. Pierce starred in the HBO dramas Treme and The Wire, as well as the Oscar-nominated film Selma. He founded a nonprofit called Pontchartrain Park Community Development Corp. to build new affordable solar and geothermal homes for families displaced by Katrina.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: And we are joined by three guests here: Monique Harden of Advocates for Environmental Human Rights; Gary Rivlin, author of Katrina: After the [Flood]; and Wendell Pierce, the actor and also author of The Wind in the Reeds: A Storm, a Play, and the City That Would Not Be Broken.
Gary Rivlin, I'd like to start with you on this segment, the issue on education. One of the most astonishing things that occurred in the weeks after the storm was a decision of the then-governor, Kathleen Blanco, to close the entire public school system and reopen a recovery authority school system. Could you talk about what happened to the schools, the privatization and the creation of all these charter schools in New Orleans, and what's been the result 10 years later?
GARY RIVLIN: It makes me think of Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine, the opportunity that a disaster presents. The governor had wanted to take over many of the local schools in New Orleans prior to Katrina, and she had taken over a few of the worst-performing schools. Katrina happens, and within two months the state had taken over virtually every public school in New Orleans.
And, you know, the real problem is that for years, for six, seven years, it just was chaos. Here are people who were displaced. You know, they're struggling to come home, and they just want a sense of place, a sense of home. There are no neighborhood schools anymore. People would sign up for one school, a charter school, and it would be closed a year or two later, and they have to go find another. Parent after parent told me the story of their child at a bus stop at 6:00 a.m. in the dark to, you know, take two buses to get to their school every day. It just—it was chaos.
There was cherry picking. You know, I mean, nowadays we all know that schools are measured by how high their scores are. And so, especially early on—it's gotten a little bit better, but especially early on, they would just refuse some students. The highest expulsion rate in the country was in Orleans Parish schools. Why? Because they wanted to improve their numbers. You know, there was a lawsuit that the schools were not doing their duty of taking care of the special needs students. It was settled a year or two ago, and seemingly it's gotten better.
But, you know, it's just like a generation of kids who it had endured. You know, they're eight, 10, 12 years old at the time of Katrina. They see that the government doesn't care about them. They're scattered to the wind, some of them, you know, under gunpoint. I mean, remember, people were being brought on planes, on buses, with armed soldiers as if they were prisoners, sent somewhere off without being told where they're going. You know, they're living disembodied for several months, for a couple years. And, you know, they come back to chaos. There's traumatized kids in this traumatized system.
AMY GOODMAN: I wanted to put this question to Wendell Pierce. It was a piece that appeared in Chicago by an editorial board member of the Chicago Tribune. Her name was—is Kristen McQueary. She wrote a piece about Chicago's financial crisis, titled "In Chicago, Wishing for a Hurricane Katrina." She wrote, quote, "I find [myself] wishing for a storm in Chicago—an unpredictable, haughty, devastating swirl of fury. A dramatic levee break. Geysers bursting through manhole covers. A sleeping city, forced onto [the] rooftops." She later apologized for offending the city of New Orleans. Wendell Pierce, you're a New Orleans native. Your parents are from New Orleans. Your grandparents are from New Orleans. Can you respond to this? And also talk about the struggle for who has made it in the last 10 years in New Orleans and who hasn't, what communities have thrived, and the fact that 100,000 African-American New Orleanians are no longer in New Orleans.
WENDELL PIERCE: First of all, I found that editorial so offensive. I called it "blasphemously evil" for someone to wish for a disaster that killed over 1,800 people as a way to cleanse their city of some sort of political policies that she disagreed with. Not only was the writer offensive and owed the city and all of those who lost relatives 10 years ago an apology, but I can't believe that the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board allowed it to go into print. So that was the thing that was really offensive.
And just doubling back on what Gary was saying about the education system, I want you to remember that the United Teachers of New Orleans, the union that my mother was a part of all of her life, her 40 years of teaching in the school system, was one of the largest unions and most powerful unions in the state of Louisiana. It was predominantly African-American and women. And when the floodwaters were still rising in New Orleans, the first official—one of the first official acts that the governor did was to fire all the teachers. It wasn't by happenstance, it was by design. You saw the political manipulations and taking advantage of the crisis, as it were.
And we should not let the education reform that is happening in New Orleans go unchallenged, because just in October of last year, the Cowen Institute at Tulane, that put out a study and released data on the progress of the charter school system now, actually had to admit that they cooked the books, that they changed the data to make sure that it looked better, because what's happening is a raid, a raid of the treasury, of the money set aside for public education to be given to private companies, private companies in education. And then they're changing—they're changing the status quo to make sure that they keep their charters, to make sure that they keep the flow of money coming into the corporation. Remember, the first rule of law when it works—in a business or in a corporation, is to make a profit. And the only way you make a profit if you're a charter school is to keep that charter. And the only way you keep that charter is to make sure that you give the appearance that you are not failing.
And they're leaving a lot of people and a lot of kids on the way—on the side. And they're leaving them in a worse position than they were before. If you don't go to the most needy children in your society and help them—as Gary was saying before, the disabled and special needs and special education kids were not having any of their needs met, because it is not required in so many of the charters to even have that sort of part in your education system. So, a lot of people are being left behind.
I have, in Pontchartrain Park, a community development corporation, where we, residents, initiated our own reconstruction, but—as we got the properties that were sold back in the Road Home program in our community of Pontchartrain Park, so that we can put them back into commerce. But we are restricted to only selling to low-income, 80 percent average median income and below. I have no problem with bringing in low-income people to the community. That's how my parents got a chance at first getting their first home in the 1950s. But what's happening is to make sure that you displace people who have been forced out of public housing and have only certain areas that they can have access to homes, because then public housing is only one-third public housing anymore, the other two-thirds is now market rate.
And it's taken all 10 years to rebuild those public housings. I call it displacement by delay. You know, it took so long for us to even reconstitute public housing in New Orleans, that 10 years, if somebody hasn't, you know, placed roots in Atlanta or Texas or wherever they were displaced to, the likelihood of them coming back is very small. So, it's by design, it's by policy. You know, I say in my book, my grandparents always taught us there are those who don't have your best interest at heart, and there are people in positions of power and policymakers who don't have all the city's best interests at heart. And they're constituting policy and taking actions to make sure that only certain communities are coming back and other communities are suffering.

Most Dangerous Roads/Intersections
Home / Augusta Car Accident Lawyer / Dangerous Roads/Intersections
Vehicle crash data comes from many sources. The U.S. National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Georgia Governor's Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) collect detailed information about crashes in Georgia. They make this information available to researchers and the public.
According to these sources, Augusta, GA has a few roads and intersections that see a high number of car accidents and traffic fatalities.
Here are some of the most dangerous roads and intersections in Augusta, GA.
The Recency of the Crash Data
Most Dangerous Roads and Intersections in Augusta, GA
Traveling Augusta's Roads and Intersections
The NHTSA and GOHS collect their information electronically. Currently, they have only released data through 2019 to the public.
The pandemic lockdowns in 2020 resulted in a nationwide drop in traffic of about 14%. Roads in Georgia saw anywhere from 15% to 39% less traffic in 2020.
But preliminary numbers suggest that road deaths spiked in 2020, despite the dropoff in road use. In Richmond County, road deaths increased 22% and fatal pedestrian accidents jumped 400% in 2020.
While the information from 2020 might provide some insight into this anomaly, it could also give insights into the most dangerous roads and intersections in Augusta.
In an average year, Augusta sees between 7,000 and 10,000 car accidents. These accidents cause between 20 and 30 deaths, including about five pedestrians, one cyclist, and two motorcyclists each year. The remaining 12 to 22 deaths include auto drivers and passengers.
Before the pandemic, data collected through the NHTSA showed several roads and intersections that had an unusually high number of car accidents and multiple fatalities. These roads and intersections include:
Mike Padgett Highway/GA-56
This highway runs south out of Augusta. The four-lane highway gives residents a fast route south while avoiding the congestion on US-25. But this road has developed a reputation as one of Georgia's most dangerous roads.
Mike Padgett Highway saw so many fatal accidents over the past several years that the Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT) undertook a multi-year construction project to try to improve its safety. The features of this highway that the DOT plans to fix include:
No protected turn lanes
High speeds
Busy traffic
No dividing median
The lack of safety features has resulted in at least two fatalities every year since 1995. In some years, the highway sees as many as five deaths.
Deans Bridge Road/US1
Deans Bridge Road experiences heavy traffic, particularly near the interchange with I-520/Bobby Jones Expressway. A concentration of businesses in the area, along with heavy traffic coming off the six-lane interstate to Deans Bridge Road, results in nearly 60 accidents and two deaths every year. Some years, Deans Bridge Road sees as many as four deaths.
About half of the deaths on Deans Bridge Road come from pedestrian accidents. The road has fast speed limits and congestion most of the day. It also has six lanes at its widest section near I-520/Bobby Jones Expressway. These factors make Deans Bridge Road very dangerous for pedestrians trying to cross it.
Long stretches of I-20 have relatively safe records. But one ramp sees over 50 accidents every year.
The onramps and exit ramps at Washington Road have a reputation for car accidents. At this interchange, Washington Road has six lanes. Congestion and accidents on the interstate can cause cars to back up onto Washington Road, creating a traffic hazard for drivers using Washington Road or entering I-20.
This interchange also uses cloverleaf onramps. These types of onramps prevent cars that are entering I-20 from appropriately accelerating to freeway speeds. As a result, merging accidents and rear-end collisions can happen as cars attempt to enter onto I-20.
I-520/Bobby Jones Expressway
Several interchanges with I-520/Bobby Jones Expressway see dozens of accidents every year.
Gordon Highway/US-78
Gordon Highway provides a wide, fast road for those who are heading west out of Augusta. This highway hosts many hotels, restaurants, and shops. This road sees a lot of traffic both entering onto and exiting from I-520/Bobby Jones Expressway. These factors conspire to cause over 60 accidents every year on this interchange.
Wrightsboro Road
Wrightsboro Road only has two lanes in each direction near the interchange with I-520/Bobby Jones Expressway. The area has five large shopping centers nearby and sees congestion throughout the day.
The low road capacity can cause traffic backups on both the road and the offramps from the interstate. This area sees about 50 accidents every year.
Peach Orchard Road/US-25
Peach Orchard Road provides access from I-520/Bobby Jones Expressway to several shopping centers and neighborhoods southwest of Augusta.
This enormous interchange is one of Augusta's most confusing places for drivers, with ramps and roads leading to Windsor Spring Road, Peach Orchard Road, Rushing Road, and Sconyers Way. This spiderweb of roads sees about 60 car accidents annually.
Windsor Spring Road and Tobacco Road
The intersection of Windsor Spring Road and Tobacco Road is one of Augusta's busiest interchanges. Shops, restaurants, and other businesses sit on all four corners of the intersection. Just beyond the intersection, there are several neighborhoods and housing developments.
Windsor Spring Road provides one of the few north-south routes through the area. Tobacco Road provides one of the few east-west routes. Their intersection southwest of Augusta sees a little over 50 car accidents every year.
Washington Road and Boy Scout Road
Not surprisingly, one of Augusta's tourism centers falls on the list of most dangerous intersections.
The stretch of Washington Road near Boy Scout Road is dense with hotels, restaurants, bars, and shops. This area serves to provide access to the Augusta National Golf Club, which is only two blocks away.
This intersection alone sees over 50 accidents every year.
You might not be able to avoid these dangerous roads and intersections fully. Many of these roadways fall on the list simply because they see so much traffic.
But you can reduce your risk of becoming one of the accidents or fatalities near these intersections. Georgia has the fourth-highest number of traffic deaths in the country. These deaths often result from easily-changed behaviors such as speeding, following too closely, and driving while distracted or intoxicated.
Avoiding these behaviors can substantially improve your odds as you travel through the most dangerous roads and intersections in Augusta, GA.
If you've been in a car accident on one of Augusta's roads or intersections, contact Hawk Law Group at 706.722.3500 for a free consultation. We'll help you to pursue the compensation you deserve.

Air Cargo Security and Screening System Market Is Expected to Witness CAGR of 6.1% During the Forecasted period (2019-2027)
Market Insight- Global Air Cargo Security & Screening Systems Market
Air cargo security and screening systems are equipment used for viewing parcels that are shipped through flights. These systems secure containers against incoming materials such as drugs and explosives and offer high-level security for cargo. These systems allow screening and identification of parcels containing chemicals and other liquid substances, as some chemicals can be hazardous to passengers. Furthermore, air cargo security and screening systems are typically used to detect threats, explosives, weapons, knives, narcotics, firearms, and contraband. Various systems are used in air cargo security such as narcotics detectors, explosives detection systems, and non-computed tomography.
The global air cargo security and screening system market is estimated to account for US$ 1,219.3 Mn in terms of value by the end of 2019
Market Dynamics- Drivers
Increasing utilization of advanced screening technologies is expected to drive growth of the global air cargo security & screening systems market during the forecast period
Rising security threats has resulted in the use of advanced technology-based equipment such as non-computed tomography and transmission X-ray. Governments of various countries are incorporating technology-based screening at airports, in order to improve air cargo security and safety. These technologies facilitate users to detect explosives without indication of size or quantity. Moreover, these technologies can sense chemical compositions of an object and indicate the risk. Hence, growing use of advanced screening technologies worldwide is expected to boost the global air cargo security & screening systems market over the forecast period. For instance, in October 2019, Melbourne Airport, Australia partnered with Smiths Detection to incorporate latest checkpoint security technology, featuring computer tomography (CT) X-ray in Terminal 4 of the airport.
Growing security concerns for airports and air traffic is expected to propel the global air cargo security and screening systems market growth over the forecast period
Rising terror attack threats have increased the need for stringent security measures. Many countries are implementing regulations and standardized designs, in order to enhance and implement strict security policies and norms for technology-based security for cargo shipments. Moreover, growing awareness regarding high-level air cargo security among governments and enterprises has compelled technology developers to come up with enhanced and highly efficient security equipment and systems. These factors are expected to accelerate the market growth in the near future.
North America region dominated the global air cargo security and screening system market in 2019, accounting for 31.2% share in terms of value, followed by Europe, and Asia Pacific respectively

Market Dynamics- Restraints
Technical challenges associated with bulk cargo screening is expected to restrain growth of the global cargo security & screening systems market over the forecast period
Airport authorities are implementing screening systems for cargo security, and these are costly and manufactured as per size of cargo to be screened. Smaller screening machines are required for smaller cargo volumes. Moreover, bulk screening is a major challenge as it needs to be screened in smaller loads or single cargo loads at a time, making it time-consuming and tedious. This is also due to availability of only small and medium cargo screening systems at airports. Moreover, incapability of screening systems to screen multiple cargo loads is a challenge for airport authorities and enterprises as it also increases time of the screening process as well as results in delays in delivery of cargo. These factors are expected to hinder the market growth in the near future.
High cost associated with screening systems is expected to hamper the global air cargo security & screening systems market growth over the forecast period
Screening equipment that are equipped with advanced features and technology are expensive and requires updates three to four years. Thus, it increases airline and airport authorities' investment significantly to install these systems. Moreover, smaller airlines often have limited budget and are reluctant to invest in air cargo security and screening systems, which in turn, increases threat risks. Hence, these factors are expected to restrict the market growth over the forecast period.
Development of separate cargo terminal is expected to pose significant growth opportunity for market players
Governments in many countries are working with airline companies and airport authorities to develop a separate and solely dedicated terminal with air cargo screening equipment. This can help airport security personnel to identify threats and save time while shipping cargo. Moreover, presence of separate air cargo terminals will minimize the potential risks to passengers in the event of bomb threat or chemical explosion in the cargo. This will also companies to speed up time taken to transport goods with cargo being scanned immediately upon reaching the terminal. These factors are expected to pose lucrative growth opportunity.
Collaborations and partnerships among supply chain enterprises to pose lucrative business opportunity

'Trophy' plot in Beverly Hills going for $1.36b
The site is the highest point in the prized 90210 zip code. It occupies a ridge in the Beverly Crest neighbourhood, adjacent to Beverly Hills, with Studio City to the north and Bel Air to the west. Previous owners include Princess Shams Pahlavi and movie mogul Merv Griffin.PHOTO: NYTIMES

Buyer can build 1.5 million sq ft home on virtually undeveloped 63.5ha site, up for sale at record price
BROOKLYN • A storied and virtually undeveloped 63.5ha plot of land overlooking Beverly Hills is officially going on sale with a record-setting asking price of US$1 billion (S$1.36 billion).
Occupants of the plot, which offers sweeping, 360-degree views of the San Gabriel Mountains, Malibu, Pacific Ocean and downtown Los Angeles, can gaze down on neighbours such as Seth MacFarlane, Sylvester Stallone and Warren Beatty.
Rebranded the Mountain Beverly Hills, the property previously known as the Vineyard Beverly Hills is the highest point in the prized 90210 zip code.
It occupies a ridge in the Beverly Crest neighbourhood, adjacent to Beverly Hills, with Studio City to the north and Bel Air to the west.
So large is the piece of real estate that all of Disneyland could fit in it and it would still have 23ha to spare. Media materials liken a visit to the site, accessed via Benedict Canyon, to a "God-like experience".
"It's a special property, a trophy property," says Ms Christine Hong, global luxury property specialist at Coldwell Banker in Beverly Hills. "Very unique and beautiful."
Demand in the area is high, adds Ms Hong, whose recent sales in the environs have hit US$3,500 per sq ft (psf); the Beverly Hills average is at US$2,500 psf.
Recent additions to the market include the Chartwell Estate in Bel Air, the facade of which was used in The Beverly Hillbillies TV series. At an asking price of US$350 million, this is the priciest home listed in the country; the Mountain doesn't offer a home.
The Mountain comprises six manicured, zoned lots on which the new owner can build up to 1.5 million sq ft of home. Based on the average price cited above, building such a structure or structures would cost almost US$4 billion, on top of the land's asking price.
Princess Shams Pahlavi, elder sister of Iran's last shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, acquired the summit property in the late 1970s and had planned to construct a single estate. Following the Iranian Revolution of 1979, which saw her brother toppled and Molotov cocktails thrown at her then residence in California by pro-Islamic Republic demonstrators, the princess let the plateau lie fallow for a decade before media mogul Merv Griffin took ownership in 1987.
Mr Griffin had grand plans to build a massive compound on the site. Under his ownership, about 765,000 cubic m of dirt was moved from the top of the site to achieve a more level grade, and the zoning was reworked to incorporate the six buildable lots.
But his interest in the project soon waned. In 1997, the year he took ownership of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, he sold the land to Herbalife founder and billionaire Mark Hughes.
Mr Hughes paid US$8.5 million and had planned to build a 45,000 sq ft home on the grounds. After he died in 2002, the land became part of his estate, held in trust for his then eight-year-old son.
Hollywood royalty, including Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, have since reportedly shown interest in all or part of the estate, which was occasionally used as an event space in recent years.
But complicated lawsuits over ownership kept the property off the market until now.

United States Government and Politics
Anti-Federalist Paper #72
November 6, 2020 USGOPO Daily Briefing, Foundational Document 0
Early Argument Against the Electoral College.
The Anti-Federalist Papers were a series of papers written by opponents of ratification of the Constitution. These critics were generally in favor of editing the Articles of Confederation and wary of too much power being given to the federal government. In addition, the Anti-Federalist strongly favored a direct democracy. Though this essay is not one of hte College Board-required documents, it is worth examination and analysis. Carefully read the excerpt from Anti-Federalist Paper #72 below and respond to the questions that follow.
Is it then become necessary, that a free people should first resign their right of suffrage into other hands besides their own, and then, secondly, that they to whom they resign it should be compelled to choose men, whose persons, characters, manners, or principles they know nothing of? And, after all (excepting some such change as is not likely to happen twice in the same century) to intrust Congress with the final decision at last? Is it necessary, is it rational, that the sacred rights of mankind should thus dwindle down to Electors of electors, and those again electors of other electors? This seems to be degrading them even below the prophetical curse denounced by the good old patriarch, on the offspring of his degenerate son: "servant of servants". . .
To conclude, I can think of but one source of right to government, or any branch of it-and that is THE PEOPLE. They, and only they, have a right to determine whether they will make laws, or execute them, or do both in a collective body, or by a delegated authority. Delegation is a positive actual investiture. Therefore if any people are subjected to an authority which they have not thus actually chosen-even though they may have tamely submitted to it-yet it is not their legitimate government. They are wholly passive, and as far as they are so, are in a state of slavery. Thank heaven we are not yet arrived at that state. And while we continue to have sense enough to discover and detect, and virtue enough to detest and oppose every attempt, either of force or fraud, either from without or within, to bring us into it, we never will.Anti-Federalist Paper #72, Republicus
Anti-Federalist #72 is available in its entirety at the University of Tulsa.
Questions for Completion
1) What does Republicus, author of this text, view the function of the people in a democracy? Why would this cause him to oppose the Electoral College? Be sure to directly cite the text!
2) Republicus claims the Electoral College would "not be their legitimate government" and contribute to a "state of slavery." Why do you think Republicus chose to use hyperbolic language?
3) Do you the Anti-Federalists were correct to trust the democratic will of the people above all else? Why or why not?

Home Tech Netflix-like Subscription System to Drive A New Car Every Day From Nissan
Netflix-like Subscription System to Drive A New Car Every Day From Nissan
Japan-based automotive company Nissan announced the Netflix-style monthly subscription system that allows drivers to use a different model every day. There are two different plans on the platform called Nissan Switch: 'Select' and 'Premium'.
In our world where digitalization goes everywhere, the number of digital subscription platforms focused on film, video, music, game and news has started to increase. Now the world of cars is also participating in this train. Japanese giant Nissan has introduced a new service where drivers will use the Nissan brand vehicle they wish as a monthly subscriber.
Nissan Switch, which has a similar logic with Netflix and other subscription platforms, will be first available in the state of Houston, USA. Drivers registered in the system will be able to choose between 'Select' and 'Premium' subscription plans, which have a price tag of $ 699 and $ 899 per month, respectively. It should also be noted that drivers should also pay 495 dollars for a one-time service fee.
The Select plan includes the Altima sedan and Rogue crossover, while the Premium includes the Maxima sedan and Armada SUV models. Both subscription plans offer an unlimited number of new vehicles, cleaning, maintenance insurance and roadside assistance every day. Drivers who want to change their cars can choose from the models offered to them through the Nissan Switch application. Nissan then delivers the car to the specified service area on the same day.
By the way, it is useful to say that Nissan Switch is not the first of its kind. Other car manufacturers such as Audi, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz have similar subscription systems. It should also be noted that Canoo, the Los Angeles-based electric car venture, will launch such a system next year.

Conor O'Kane ("Cokane") seems like a bit of a Renaissance man when it comes to the interests he lists on his blog: "game development, graphics, music and shmups" — but he forgot to include 3D printing on the list as well. After all, a perusal of his blog reveals that he is quite adept at using a 3D printer, and we see these skills in one of his most recent projects as well. This project is quite dear to his heart, as O'Kane is Irish. Having moved to Melbourne, Australia in 2002, O'Kane misses home enough to engage the entire island of Ireland as a 3D printed map project.
Let's step back for a moment to some background technology that has helped O'Kane immensely when it comes to this project. Spearheaded by the US National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA), the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) is a research effort involving people around the world. The idea is to gather digital elevation models for the entire planet to generate a high-resolution digital topographic database of Earth. Elevation models derived from this effort are available as free Internet downloads, and are used as geographic information systems. The upshot of this? Never before have we had this kind of readily available topographic information about so much of our planet.
And, of course, this topographic data includes lovely Ireland. O'Kane has taken the data and transformed it into a 3D printable map that he presented to his parents. This detailed map, which is also available for download on Thingiverse, was made using a Cocoon Create 3D printer, with no rafts or supports. It was 3D printed at 0.2mm resolution and 20% infill (O'Kane recommends it be printed with "three top layers to ensure the upper surfaces are flat"). This map has already been viewed 1,614 times and its STL file has been downloaded 387 times.
One possible reason this map is such a popular item is because the topographical data now available to the public is much more detailed than what was made previously available. In late 2015, the highest resolution data became available to the public. Previously, SRTM data for regions outside the United States were sampled for public release at 90 meters (295 feet). The new data have been released with about 30 meters (98 feet), sampling that reveals the full resolution of the original measurements. What this all translates into is that never before have we had such full and wide-ranging access to detailed global topographical data — allowing for map projects like the one that we see with O'Kane's Ireland.
Several other people have posted their own 3D printed versions of the Ireland map, and they all look slightly different, but retain the basic design of O'Kane's original map. I am sure we will be seeing more 3D printed maps using the newly available SRTM data, as O'Kane's idea can be theoretically applied to almost everywhere on the planet Earth now! (Though O'Kane has also enjoyed using NASA data to 3D print maps of the moon and Mars!) We are seeing more and more 3D printed maps — and the data options are growing better all the time! What do you think of Ireland? Discuss in the 3D Printed Ireland Map forum over at 3DPB.com.

urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

I thought the corresponding imageurl ie 'http://www.example.com/images/PG013001 GROUP 2.jpg' doesn,t exist but when it is checked it exist.Please suggest a fix
regards

A: You should fix the link.  Try this:
>>> import urllib
>>> urllib.quote("images/PG013001 GROUP 2.jpg")
'images/PG013001%20GROUP%202.jpg'

A: Urls can't include spaces directly; it's simply not allowed.  What you want to do is to quote, or encode the spaces in the filename, so that the url becomes legal.  Here's wikipedia on the matter.
So, you want to quote the urls that you pass to urllib2.  In your code, you could do that by changing the one line to look like this:
page1=opener1.open(urllib2.quote(imageurl))

That oughta do it.
