It is a rare and special occasion when a truly novel building material is made widely available for commercial use. The last time this occurred was at the turn of the twentieth century, when large-scale steel and concrete manufacturing revolutionized the global building industry. Now, a century later, architects and engineers are finding a renewed interest in one of our most ancient building materials: wood.
At the microscopic level, wood resembles a dense network of straws held together within an organic matrix. When a force is applied perpendicular to the direction, or grain, of these straws, they come apart much like the end of a paintbrush or a bundle of hay might. If a force is applied parallel to the grain, all the straws work in tandem to resist snapping along their longer axis. For millennia, this was the basic rule of building with wood: structural load must always be applied parallel to the grain.
This ostensibly simple rule contains within it a host of conditions that have historically limited the use of wood in modern buildings. As wood is only capable of withstanding load along the axis in which it grows, the maximum dimensions of wooden structural elements have been restricted to the size of the largest trees; a wooden column could only ever be as tall as the tree from which it was harvested, and wooden beams only as deep as a tree's diameter. This limitation is further complicated by natural variations in the quality of wood. The occurrence of knots, the age of the tree, and its rate of growth all drastically increase or diminish the strength of the lumber produced from it. The relative lack of control that architects and engineers have over the material made it unsuitable for use in buildings taller than a few stories.
However, recent breakthroughs in synthetic resin technology have enabled engineers to overcome these natural limitations. It is now possible to fabricate wooden structural elements whose size and strength are comparable to those made of steel and concrete. This man-made wood, commonly called engineered lumber, consists of pieces of dimensioned lumber glued together in configurations designed to maximize the structural qualities of wood. Wooden beams and columns once hewn from forest giants can now be made from many small pieces of lumber, while walls and floor slabs can be made to resist multi-directional loads by cross-layering panels of wood perpendicular to one another. These large engineered lumber products, collectively called mass timber, dramatically increase both the strength and efficiency of wood construction and signal the possibility of building with wood at an unprecedented scale.
Mass timber has also become the model material for architects and engineers concerned with developing more environmentally sustainable building practices. Building construction and energy use account for more than a third of global energy consumption and nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As urban populations around the world are projected to reach a staggering 6.4 billion residents by 2050 and the global building surface area is set to double, proponents of mass timber construction point to wood's ability to sequester carbon as a means of offsetting the GHG normally emitted during the manufacturing, transportation, and assembly of construction materials. Growing trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and once the wood is harvested and used in construction, the carbon absorbed over the tree's lifetime is locked away and isolated from the atmosphere.
The difference in total GHG emissions between mass timber construction and conventional steel and concrete construction is difficult to quantify, but the growing consensus is that there are real environmental benefits to substituting steel and concrete with mass timber. A 2007 study funded by the US Forest Service concluded that "net GHG emissions associated with wood-based houses were 20–50 percent lower than those associated with thermally comparable houses employing steelor concrete-based building systems." This is supported by a 2017 study conducted by researchers at the University of Bath and Harbin Institute of Technology comparing the energy efficiency of four-to-seventeen-story residential buildings made from reinforced concrete (RC) and cross-laminated timber (CLT). The study estimated that net energy consumption and net carbon emissions were between 9.9 and 13.2 percent lower when using CLT as opposed to RC.
However, trade groups in the steel and concrete construction industries are funding research to challenge the structural viability and environmental sustainability of mass timber construction. The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) have independently formed advocacy groups to lobby against the standardization and codification of mass timber construction in the International Building Code (IBC). These groups have also lobbied in the US against The Timber Innovation Act of 2017 (S.538), which seeks to secure United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) grants for research into mass timber construction.
It is clear that the AISC and NRMCA's resistance to market competition colors much of their criticism of mass timber construction, particularly mass timber's ability to withstand fire. The attacks are often comically reductive. Two weeks ago, the advocacy arm of the NRMCA, Build With Strength, released a video of workers attempting to burn a block of concrete with a blowtorch to demonstrate the material's resistance to heat. The AISC, on the other hand, summarizes their criticism of mass timber in this way: "Wood burns, even though the wood industry and the Department of Agriculture want you to believe it only 'chars.'" Though technically true, the AISC neglects to mention that charring is the very process that enables mass timber to resist fire. After initial combustion, the charred exterior of thick engineered lumber products insulates and protects the unburnt wood within. In fact, untreated mass timber performs measurably better in two-hour fire tests than untreated steel, which quickly loses its rigidity when exposed to high temperatures.
The steel and concrete industry's skepticism of the environmental benefits of mass timber is substantially more difficult to dismiss. Chief among the criticisms is the mass timber industry's assumption that all trees felled for the manufacturing of engineered lumber products are sustainably harvested. Without this essential precondition, the effects of deforestation negate any short-term reduction in GHG emissions by undermining the potential for forests to absorb carbon dioxide in the future. While more effective forest management policies have begun to reverse deforestation in the US, only a one percent increase in total forested land was recorded between 2007 and 2011, and the effects of climate change threaten even this small achievement. Wildfires, rapidly changing ecologies, disease, and outbreaks of parasitic insects kill millions of hectares of forests each year, and though the wood industry often harvests dead trees in order to sequester their carbon before it is released through decomposition, deforestation continues to be a serious concern.
Calculating the benefits of carbon sequestration is further complicated by what is perhaps the most basic criticism of the building industry as a whole: the environmental impact of demolishing old buildings and erecting new ones far outweighs even the most sustainable techniques. The amount of energy expended and the volume of GHG emitted during demolition, in addition to the release of any carbon previously sequestered by now discarded lumber, handily tip the scales against the sheer volume of carbon sequestered by new mass timber construction. Though it should be reiterated that steel and concrete construction, which are more energy-intensive and GHG-emissive, do not have the added benefit of carbon sequestration, we should keep in mind that the greenest building is still the one that is never built.
Large engineered lumber products dramatically increase the strength and efficiency of wood construction and signal the possibility of building with wood at an unprecedented scale.
While the competing industries are locked in a debate over their respective environmental impacts, mass timber advocates are steadily gaining ground in the US by means of a separate line of argument: economic incentive. Mass timber construction advocacy groups such as ThinkWood, the American Wood Council, and the Binational Softwood Lumber Council have made the potential for job creation in the American and Canadian economies a major component of their arguments for increased investment in mass timber construction. Citing a study from the USDA, ThinkWood has argued that sustainable logging practices will provide a stable source of employment for rural communities in the decades to come and that engineered lumber production will make up a substantial portion of the projected five percent growth for employment opportunities in renewable natural resource industries between 2015 and 2020.
Other agencies are not so optimistic. While the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a modest growth of 7.2 percent in jobs related to forest management between 2016 and 2026, it expects the logging sector to contract by 21.4 percent. Veneer, plywood, and engineered wood product manufacturing are expected to remain relatively stable, with a net job loss of 0.4 percent, but the Department of Labor does not seem to share the wood industry's expectations for reliable growth in jobs related to mass timber production. Nonetheless, the wood industry has enjoyed a series of decisive victories in the arenas of domestic and international policy since 2015. In spite of the steel and concrete industry's protests, the International Code Council (ICC) added engineered lumber products to the IBC in 2015, and is expected to further standardize them in 2018 upon the acceptance of code change proposal G108-18. The proposed code change would update previous definitions of Type IV (heavy timber) construction to include engineered wood products, and would create three new subcategories specifically for mass timber construction.
While trade groups are focused on defending their market shares from one another, engineers and material scientists are finding new and clever ways of building with mass timber, steel, and concrete.
In late June of 2018, a bipartisan coalition in the House of Representatives narrowly passed the Agricultural and Nutrition Act of 2018, which includes the research section of the Timber Innovation Act of 2017. The Senate, meanwhile, has placed its own version of the farm bill, the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, on the legislative calendar, and is set to debate it later this year. If passed, the Senate's bill would secure further grant funding for research into mass timber construction.
While trade groups are focused on defending their market shares from one another, engineers and material scientists are finding new and clever ways of building with mass timber, steel, and concrete. In fact, the steel and concrete industries may actually stand to benefit from further investment in mass timber construction. Research into cutting-edge hybrid construction techniques utilizing all three major building materials in complementary configurations could secure a market share for each industry. The John W. Olver Design Building at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has been celebrated by the wood industry as the first academic building in the United States incorporating mass timber construction, but the most innovative aspects of its structural system are the wood-steel hybrid truss supporting the green roof and its wood-concrete composite floor slabs. Engineers at the University's Building and Construction Technology department, whose research provided the basis for the wood-concrete composite deployed in the building, argue that the appropriate use of a wide range of materials allows for flexible construction methods and generally higher material strength and stiffness.

Gnocchi often gets put up on a pedestal, where it do rightfully deserve to be, however, it has a reputation for being fiddly and time-consuming. We had our go at making gnocchi (failed and succeed many times) it take a few bit of work for such a delicious dish, which can us wondering, how can we eat this bloody delish pillow of fluffy goodness faster and taste better?
Enter pumpkin gnocchi. Well, more specifically kabocha gnocchi. The beauty of this squash is, it lasts forever and tastes amazing.We were stoked that we succeeded to make gnocchi without potatoes.
This kabocha gnocchi with pesto is so bloody tasty, however, we would also like to try this recipe with pumpkin, acorn squash & sweet potatoes. All would taste amazing however I think this pesto gnocchi will blow your socks off.
This Japanese winter squash is available all year but is best in late summer and early fall. If you are wondering where to buy kabocha squash, it's available year-round in most supermarkets. You might also find it under the name kent pumpkin in Austalia.
This whole meal was so yummy we had it twice in the same week. That's saying a lot in our house. We also have enough in the freezer for 5 more meals! This is a very large recipe, so expect to freeze several trays of gnocchi.
The most time-consuming part of this recipe is probably the baking of the squash. I did mine the night before, which made everything a lot easier the next day. You can short cut this step by microwaving your pumpkin, however, I think that roasted pumpkin is a lot more flavoursome.
If your want to know the gnocchi pesto calories, check out the nutritional chart below!
First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Slice the butternut squash in half, removing the seeds with a spoon. Season generously with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 60-75 minutes, or until you pierce the squash and there's no resistance. Let the squash cool.
Once cool, scoop the flesh out of the skin and whisk with a fork (or puree in a food processor) until smooth. In a saute pan, cook the squash over medium heat until the liquid has evaporated (this is important so you don't have liquid-y dough). Cool the squash puree in the fridge. When the squash has cooled completely, whisk in the egg, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Add the flour to the mixture, one cup at a time using a fork. The dough will be sticky – that's okay. Let the dough cool for about 30 minutes.
Working in portions, roll out the gnocchi into foot long "snakes" and cut them into bite size pieces. Press the tines of a fork into each one to give it that characteristic gnocchi shape.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, reduce it to a low simmer and carefully add the gnocchi. They are delicate, so do not treat them like store bought pasta.
When they are completely cooked, the gnocchi will begin to float to the top of the water. Carefully transfer them to a colander using a slotted spoon. Lightly rinse them with warm water.
Finally, in a large saute pan, melt the butter until it starts to bubble. Season the gnocchi with salt and pepper and brown on all sides until they look like golden little nuggets.
Add your pesto to the pan and warm to your liking.
Add the basil, walnuts, grated garlic clove, parmesan, salt, pepper and a bit of oil to the blender. Mix it well and add the rest of the oil.


Back in 2009 when I first met Darren Crookes (SERIOUS Herbalife enthusiast!) I thought the same that you lot are thinking right now.......blah, blah, blah.....Herbalife! I suppose it was really because I had no understanding of Herbalife, and to be honest I had no interest in it either, until I signed up to run my first ½ marathon early 2010.
I'm a city girl, from Sheffield (UK) with a population of over 530,000 people, so you can understand when I say my initial thoughts of moving to the small country town of Narrabri filled me with dread. I had no idea what to expect and Google produced the worst images of cowboys and rundown barns.
It was a lovely day, just as I would have wanted, they said. Not a cloud in sight and the blue sky was illuminating a twinkle in the tears that were being shared around the court yard of the crematorium. I looked around the room filled with familiar faces, 'Not a bad turn out' I thought to myself.

What's Going on with Immigration and the U.S. Supreme Court?
February 3, 2016 ·	by Amy R. Grenier ·	in Immigration Law, Politics & Policy	· 1 Comment

Earlier this month, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review (granted certiorari) a case that exemplifies an ongoing immigration controversy, and in doing so, rule on a debate about the balance of powers within the United States government. Led by Texas, 26 states filed a complaint in federal court to block the implementation of an executive directive issued by the Obama administration. The directive in question deprioritized about 4.9 million of the estimated 11.9 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States. A Texas district court blocked the program on procedural grounds in February 2015, and this decision was upheld on appeal by the divided 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. At the heart of the matter is a disagreement about immigration policy and the role of the executive in implementing policies regarding immigration.
The policy contested by Texas is a 2014 executive directive issued by the head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) expanding an existing program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and creating a new program called Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA). The current DACA program, implemented in 2012, authorizes undocumented immigrants brought here as children (often called "DREAMers") to work in the United States legally without fear of deportation, after meeting certain requirements and at the discretion of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The November 2014 policy expands the group of individuals eligible for the DACA program and grants relief for three years at a time (instead of the two years granted under the original DACA program). DAPA grants similar relief, but for the undocumented parents of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments on four questions: whether the states can sue the government on this matter; the executive branch's authority to create the DACA/DAPA programs; whether the government needed to notify the public and accept comments on the policy before implementing it; and if the policy violates the "Take Care" clause of the Constitution.
Whether the states suing have standing. In order to bring any lawsuit in the United States, including the matter at hand, the plaintiff must show that he or she has a concrete interest in the conflict before the court. For example, Sheriff Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, sued Obama on the same issue, arguing that the DAPA/DACA programs would cause a "crime wave." His case was dismissed due to lack of standing, the D.C. Circuit Court concluding "that Sheriff Arpaio has failed to allege an injury that is both fairly traceable to the deferred action policies and redressable by enjoining them." In the present case, Texas claims that the plaintiff states have standing to sue due to the cost incurred by state-subsidized driver's license programs for DACA/DAPA recipients. The lower courts agreed with this, but rejected arguments based on the costs for medical care and public education. In turn, the Obama administration argues that the Constitution and legal precedent assigns the power to create immigration policies exclusively to the federal government, and that a state cannot acquire standing through the "collateral consequences" felt by programs that the state itself voluntarily created.
The executive branch's authority to create the DACA/DAPA programs. The federal government argues that Congress expressly assigned the Secretary of DHS the role of "[e]stablishing national immigration enforcement policies and priorities," citing 6 U.S.C. §202(5) as well as Arizona v. United States, a 2012 case that reaffirmed the federal government's exclusive dominion over immigration laws and policy. In its complaint, Texas argues that the current DACA policy is not reviewed on a case-by-case basis, that the program carries benefits beyond non-enforcement such as employment authorization, and argues that the "unilateral suspension of the Nation's immigration laws is unlawful."
Whether the federal government was required to provide public notice. The federal Administrative Procedure Act (APA) requires a notification and public hearing process whenever a federal executive agency issues certain types of "rules." Texas and its co-plaintiffs argue that the executive directive implementing the DACA/DAPA policies violates the APA. Conservative Judge Andrew Hanen in the lower court accepted this argument and used it as the basis of his ruling in Texas' favor. However, the federal government argues that because the DACA/DAPA programs are "implemented in the truly discretionary, case-by-case manner it contemplates, it is not subject to the APA's notice-and-comment requirements," an argument with which the dissenting opinion in the appeals court agreed.
Whether the policy violates the Constitution's "Take Care Clause." The "Take Care Clause" is within Art. II, §3 of the Constitution, a section that lays out the President's role, including the command that "he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." In their complaint before the district court, Texas argues "[t]he Take Care Clause limits the President's power and ensures that he will faithfully execute Congress's laws — not rewrite them under the guise of executive 'discretion.'" The U.S. government consists of three branches: the executive, the judiciary, and the legislative branches. Each has a distinct role – put very simply, the legislative branch makes the laws, the executive branch executes them, and the judicial branch upholds them and the Constitution of the United States. This separation of powers provides a check on any one branch, and Texas is arguing that by introducing the DACA/DAPA policies, the executive branch overstepped its powers by effectively creating laws rather than executing them.
The Take Care clause issue is a larger argument that the lower courts declined to rule on, instead focusing on the procedural issues related to the APA. The fact that the Supreme Court directed the parties to write briefs on this larger question is promising for an end to this two-year court battle. As Bradley Jenkins, an attorney with Catholic Legal Immigration Network, observed in an interview with NBC News Latino, "This is a signal that the Court wants to give a final answer on the validity of the executive actions and is not inclined to send the case back to (U.S. District) Judge (Andrew) Hanen."
For legal scholars and commentators, this case may be an interesting intellectual exercise in constitutional legal theory in light of the exploration of the "Take Care Clause," which has not historically been enforced by the Supreme Court. But for the populations hoping to benefit from the executive directives, any decision will have limited long-term impact. If the Supreme Court affirms the lower court's ruling, the potential beneficiaries of expanded DACA and DAPA will see little change. But even if the Supreme Court overturns the lower court's ruling, they must face a presidential election only months later with grim prospects if a Republican is elected, as executive policies can change in an instant under a new administration.

Julian Verduyn is een personage uit de Nederlandse soapserie Goede tijden, slechte tijden. De rol van Julian werd tussen mei 1996 en maart 1999 gespeeld door acteur Cas Jansen. Op 30 december 2019 keerde het personage na 20 jaar afwezigheid terug. Vanaf 16 mei tot en met de zomercliffhanger op 7 juli 2022 werd Julian tijdelijk gespeeld door Wouter Zweers. Dit omdat Cas Jansen een fietsongeluk heeft gehad.

Levensverhaal

1996-1999
Julian wordt geboren uit een verkrachting tussen Oscar Brandts Buys en zijn dochter Mira Brandts Buys. Mira wil niet aan de verkrachting herdacht worden en zorgt ervoor dat werkster Gerda Verduyn Julian afstaat, hierdoor komt Gerda op papier de biologische moeder. Uiteindelijk belandt Julian bij Albert en Titia Holst, maar zij zijn conservatief ingesteld. Julian houdt het niet meer vol bij zijn pleegouders en zoekt onderdak bij Robert en Laura. Omdat hij zijn pleegouders nog een kans wil geven, keert hij terug. Julian raakt ernstig ziek, maar vanwege hun principes weigeren zijn pleegouders medische hulp in te schakelen. Laura en Kim zijn er net op tijd bij. Julian beseft dat de maat vol is. Kim en Julian groeien dichter naar elkaar toe, terwijl ze op dat moment niet weten dat ze broer en zus zijn. Ze gaan met elkaar naar bed. Dan komen ze tot de ontdekking dat ze dezelfde moeder hebben. Hun relatie is daarmee meteen verleden tijd.

Kim en Julian starten een zoektocht naar hun biologische vader en zoeken contact met hun moeder Mira. Mira wil nauwelijks iets los laten over het verleden. Kim zoekt contact met haar grootvader Oscar Brandts Buys. Oscar onthult dat hij zijn dochter heeft verkracht en dat daar Julian uit voort is gekomen. Julian heeft moeite om dit te accepteren. Hij vindt veel troost bij het aantrekkelijke nichtje van meneer Harmsen, Jessica. Jessica en Julian krijgen een verhouding. Ze gaan zelfs samenwonen. Ondanks dat hun financiële situatie slecht is, zijn ze toch gelukkig. Hun liefde wordt op de proef gesteld als Robert Julian in contact brengt met escortgirl Alexandra Popescu. Alexandra heeft dringend een verblijfsvergunning nodig om van haar pooier af te komen. Robert kan niet met haar trouwen, omdat hij nog getrouwd is met Laura. Julian besluit zich op te offeren, tot ergernis van Jessica. Op hun schijnhuwelijk komt de pooier van Alexandra, Joop Zwartjes, een bezoekje brengen. Joop schiet Julian, Alexandra en Robert voor het altaar neer. Alexandra overleeft de schietpartij niet. Julian beseft dat hij Jessica vernederd heeft door haar uit te nodigen voor zijn huwelijk met Alexandra. Jessica wil Julian een tweede kans geven. Hun geluk lijkt niet op te kunnen. Jessica krijgt last van haar hart en de doktoren constateren dat ze snel een nieuw hart nodig heeft. Arthur Peters, die op sterven ligt, doneert zijn hart aan Jessica. Julian en Jessica besluiten Meerdijk te verlaten en gaan op wereldreis.

2019-2022
In december 2019 keert Julian na twintig jaar terug in Meerdijk; samen met zijn vrouw Saskia, hun zoon Steef, hun dochters Merel & Demi en zijn schoonvader Henk. Julian wordt herenigd met Rik de Jong die het naastgelegen appartement betrekt, en kan het ook goed vinden met diens vriend Bing Mauricius; ze houden een mannenavondje met veel bier en gesprekken over schoonvaders. Als Julian na afloop van balkon naar balkon sprint valt hij op zijn rug; hij is niet verzekerd en kan zijn werk als klusser niet meer uitvoeren. De opdracht om de lift in hotel de Rozenboom te repareren speelt Julian door aan Henk en Rik, maar zij zijn geen ervaren monteurs en weten het voor elkaar te krijgen dat het hotel drie uur lang zonder stroom komt te zitten tijdens een belangrijke bijeenkomst. Julian wordt aansprakelijk gesteld en moet binnen een maand vierduizend euro betalen. Mede dankzij Laura weet hij op tijd zijn schuld in te lossen.

Ondanks zijn rug gaat Julian aan de slag bij Bings goedlopende bedrijf Boks; lang duurt dat niet, want vanwege de huurverhoging wordt het hoofdfiliaal van Boks (tijdelijk) gesloten. Via een invalbeurt krijgt Julian een vaste baan in de avondwinkel van de familie El Amrani; Ilyas wordt zijn baas. Julian maakt ook kennis met broer Marwan en vader Sami; hij nodigt de El Amrani's uit om bij hem thuis te komen eten. Julian stelt Demi aan ze voor, niet wetende dat zijn dochter een geheime relatie heeft met Marwan en zich daarbij voordoet als de 18-jarige Dominique. Na de onvermijdelijke relatie breuk en de aanhoudende pesterijen op school blijkt Demi zwanger van hem te zijn. In eerste instantie is er sprake van om het kind ter adoptie te stellen, maar in tegenstelling tot Saskia ziet Julian dat niet zitten vanwege zijn eigen jeugdherinneringen. Demi bevalt van een zoon, Tom, en besluit - na lang twijfelen - om hem zelf op te voeden.

Julian krijgt weer last van zijn rug, maar een stevige massage van de nieuwe huisarts Roman van Loon doet wonderen. Julian nodigt hem uit voor het eten, niet wetende dat deze "God" op allerlei manieren probeert om Saskia te versieren. Pas met de jaarwisseling komt de harde waarheid aan het licht. Julian stuurt Saskia voorlopig het huis uit, maar ze komen weer tot elkaar tijdens een gezinsvakantie op Texel.

Roman van Loon krijgt het bijna voor elkaar om Saskia Verduyn in bed te krijgen, maar Julian steekt er onbewust een stokje voor. Saskia maakt Roman duidelijk dat ze met Julian verder wil, maar hij legt zich daar niet bij neer. In een laatste poging het uit te leggen, gaat Saskia naar het voormalige huis van Anton en Linda, waar Roman verblijft, om het uit te praten. Roman kan zich niet inhouden en verkracht haar op de trap. Wekenlang weet Saskia het verborgen te houden en met een smoes dat hij haar bedreigd zou hebben, ontkomt ze eraan de waarheid te vertellen, maar het geheim komt toch uit. Roman is met de noorderzon vertrokken en Saskia wil lange tijd geen aangifte doen, tot wanhoop van Julian. Vlak nadat ze hem hebben gevonden en de confrontatie zijn aangegaan wordt Roman dood aangetroffen. Julian wordt ervan verdacht Roman te hebben vermoord, maar uiteindelijk blijkt diens vriendin de dader te zijn toen zij ook werd bedreigd.

Ondertussen is Steef een carrière als professioneel gamer begonnen; hij beleeft een succesvolle periode totdat hij zich begint te misdragen en online een fan met een pigmentziekte beledigt. Steef raakt alles kwijt; zijn reputatie in de gamewereld, zijn relatie met influencer Abby Rose; en zijn geld dat is opgegaan aan dure aankopen tijdens zijn verblijf in huize Bouwhuis. Julian wordt aansprakelijk gesteld en moet op termijn een hoge belastingschuld betalen. Op het idee gebracht door Bing besluit Julian een gokje te wagen in het casino; hij ontmoet daar Philippa die hem wat van haar geld aanbiedt nadat hij zijn winst heeft vergokt. Julian weigert het aan te nemen, waarop Philippa besluit om hem voor het geld te laten werken; hij moet vier keer een auto naar een vriendin in Rotterdam brengen. Het gezin verkeert in de waan dat Julian een bezig is met een bouwopdracht, maar Marwan laat zich minder makkelijk om de tuin leiden en volgt Julian. De eerste rit verloopt nog vlekkeloos, maar de tweede keer worden Julian en Marwan belaagd door gemaskerde mannen die er met de auto vandoor gaan. Philippa is woedend omdat zij nu vijfduizend euro aan 'steentjes' is kwijtgeraakt. Julian moet tien ritjes maken of het hele bedrag terugbetalen, maar hij heeft daar geen zin in en dreigt naar de politie te gaan.

My career has allowed me to become an employee engagement specialist. Since 1997, I have provided strategic advice and guidance to organisations of all shapes and sizes (from 50 employees up to 25,000), in a range of industries and in both the public and private sectors. My clients tend to be Board level Directors, but I am equally at home facilitating focus groups with 'shop-floor' staff.
My 25 year career in market research and consulting has involved me working for a number of UK media companies, and then I joined Southbank Consulting in 1997. There, I developed the employee research arm of the business, before becoming Managing Partner in 2002. I was also one of three Directors at equalta between 2005 and 2009.
I am one of only a handful of Certified Trainers in the UK for Mindjet's MindManager software.
Rich says…
"I am married with 5 children. Spare time is obviously at a premium, but I have a passion for Arsenal and still dream of a call-up following my weekly 5-a-side exploits. I run 2-3 times a week, have completed numerous half-marathons, two London marathons and an Ultra marathon… so far!"

I've got a background in (market) research and analysis, following a number of roles within the UK commercial television industry. I worked for TV marketing and consulting firms TSMS and Paradigm (Worldwide).
Based on detailed strategic analyses, I provided guidance to senior ITV managers about options in series scheduling and the maximisation of commercial airtime revenues. I feel very at home when presenting research findings to Board Directors.
Following a career break, during which I've had 4 children, my role at Morale Solutions means I'll take responsibility for some of the behind-the-scenes employee survey data management, analysis and reporting side of the business.
Adele says…
"I'm now ready for a new challenge after being a stay-at-home mum for the last 10 years! In my spare time, I go the the gym 4 times per week, which is just as well because I have a liking for carrot cake and cappuccino.!"

The Best AV Receivers
Sony STR-DH790 Review
By: Tracy C. | Last updated: January 16, 2023
Mediapro-AV ▸ AV receivers ▸ Reviews ▸ Sony STR-DH790 Review
Are you wondering what a very inexpensive receiver has to offer today? Then my Sony STR-DH790 review will be helpful for you. This model is not much more expensive than STR-DH590, but it offers considerably more features in its parameters. Well, let's take a step-by-step look at the receiver's improvements, features, and capabilities, as I'm sure it could be trendy for its price if all expectations hold true. Let's go.
Externally, the two devices are indistinguishable. The black case in traditional Sony style measures 17″ x 5-1/4″ x 11-3/4″ and weighs 16 lb 6 oz. The compact model has an LCD on the front panel with subtle control buttons underneath. You will find the power button on the left side, and on the right side, there are two round controls of different sizes: Input Selection and Master Volume. The only jacks here are Phones and Mic. Many users like to have an HDMI input on the front panel for quick access. I'm not too fond of wires, so minimalistic restrained exteriors are always a plus for me.
Well, we have a 7-channel receiver with the possibility to form a configuration like 5.1.2. The unit's power is 145 watts (6 ohms, 1 kHz, THD 0.9%, 1 ch).
For its price, STR-DH790 has pretty decent features. The channel organization allows bi-amping for the two front speakers, as well as speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Rarely a model in this price range can boast support for these formats. For example, the STR-DH590 is designed only for older sound formats.
Four HDMI inputs in the receiver support 4K and UHD with up to 60 Hz, HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision, 3D, Deep Colour, and HDCP 2.2. There is only one HDMI output. But unlike the DH590 model, here you will find an HDMI port with an enhanced audio return channel (eARC).
Of the other connection possibilities, there is a USB socket (5V/1A). But the lack of Wi-Fi or Ethernet was surprising. It is not a critical lack, but it certainly does not add to its versatility and usability. Although there is Bluetooth, which may well make up for this shortcoming, as it supports the AAC codec, which means listening to Apple will be without loss of quality.
Of course, we should have expected that the STR-DH790 specifications are limited. But we should remember how inexpensive it is. So, if you ask me, I think the receiver stands out from the crowd of competitors favorably. And in some respects, it is even pleasantly surprising.
Listening experience
Before testing the receiver, I checked the calibration microphone's tuning. Autocalibration determines the size of the speakers, levels, distances, and EQ. Not the most innovative system. I had to adjust some parameters manually. But it's easy. The movie I chose was saturated with all sorts of sound effects: The Hitman's Bodyguard. Great soundtrack, lots of detail, action, wheel rattling, and dialogue – just the thing. Well, the sound was surprisingly good. Needless to say, it could have been better. But in this particular case, it was great. There are few competitors for a Sony STR-DH790 in its price range. The Dolby Atmos sound surrounds and follows the picture, moving from one corner of the room to another, just as it should be for the feeling of being in a movie.
Channels: 7.2.
Power output: 145W/6 Ohm.
HDMI inputs/outputs: 6/2.
Video functions: 4K/60Hz pass-through.
Bluetooth/Wi-Fi: yes/no.
Streaming services: no.
Suppots HDMI ARC, HDMI eARC, HDCP2.2, HDR10, Dolby Vision.
Surround sound: DSD, DTS-HD Master, DTS:X, Dolby Digital, Dolby Dual Mono, Dolby Atmos.

OsborneTheir best wines
Vinos de España - Sherry
Founded in 1772 by Englishman Thomas Osborne Mann in El Puerto de Santa María, the firm had early and close connections with the British Consul, Sir James Duff of the famous firm of Duff Gordon, and eventually acquired it. Both firms shared the same manager, Juan Nicolas Böhl de Faber, whose daughter Cecilia would become the famous author Fernán Caballero, while Thomas Osborne married his other daughter, Aurora. The firm grew in prominence and owned many bodegas in the Campo de Guia area of the town, and the family was the prime mover in the construction of the bull ring.
The bull became the company's logo, and as a form of promotion for their Veterano brandy, once Spain's best seller, ninety massive bull-shaped billboards was erected near major roads throughout Spain. Due to changes in the law, they can no longer carry advertising but everybody knows what they mean. With the success of their brandies, Osborne began to diversify and acquired Anís del Mono, Rioja Montecillo, Cinco Jotas Jabugo ham, Nordés gin, Sherry soleras from Bobadilla and very old Sherry and brandy soleras formerly belonging to Domecq. They also have a huge table wine making operation near Toledo and distribute a wide range of third party products.
The company – or more correctly group – remains in family hands, and while its focus has now extended far beyond Sherry, its bodegas still contain some wonderful old soleras, some dating back to the XVIII century. The more everyday wines are all excellent examples of their type and one, the Fino Coquinero, is of a type which has largely disappeared: Fino-Amontillado, an older Fino with hints of Amontillado character giving it more depth and seriousness.

Fortified white wine
White wine Fortified Wines
100% Palomino
Made by Osborne who are based in El Puerto de Santa Maria. Here the river Guadalete meets the Atlantic and the town has a maritime atmosphere which is beneficial for the flor yeast and gives the wine a little extra freshness. Like all Finos it is matured under a film of natural yeasts (flor) which keeps the wine pale and dry and gives it its...
Fino Coquinero
Fortified White Whine
Coquinero is local slang for a person from El Puerto de Santa Maria, where this superb wine comes from. It takes the notion of Fino to another level as it starts life as Fino Quinta and after ageing full term as a Fino it is fortified to 17% to remove the flor yeast and then aged again, this time oxidatively for a further two years in a separate solera....
Oloroso Bailén
Named after a famous Spanish victory over Napoleón in 1808, this is an excellent example of Oloroso. The word means "fragrant" and it certainly is. Flor yeasts do not appear on Oloroso wines so they are fortified straight away and aged oxidatively from the start. This imparts a warm Brown color and generous bouquet to the wine.


Nothing like a trip to New York City to get rid of the bah-humbugs! Where else in the country will you see scores and scores of gilded department store decorations, guaranteed to have you whipping out your smart phone?
I did just that last week when the city was already brimming with holiday glamour. None reached a higher glitz factor than the windows at Bergdorf Goodman which this year celebrate the 120th anniversary of Swarovski Crystals. Following a "Brilliant Holiday" theme, the windows are decked out in 7 million crystals in elaborate displays with such alluring titles as "The Crown Jewels," "Glitterati," and "The Treasure Chest."
Ingenuity wins out at Barneys New York where two of the windows in the "Chillin' Out" display are actually giant walk-in freezers where ice-carving artists have created frozen masterpieces and two other windows draw inspiration from ice, showcasing the work of Dale Chihuly, Utah's Ice Castles and the artist collective Okamoto Studios.
"Embracing the chill that typically accompanies this magical time of year," Barneys website states, "our New York flagship's windows celebrate winter by bringing one crucial element of the outdoors inside: ICE."
The displays range from the brash of Dolce & Gabbana to the serene of Tiffany & Co. to the most delicious windows of all — that of Teuscher chocolates. Champagne truffles for all my friends!
The decorations pictured here are merely the tip of the holiday iceberg in the city that is burning up the kilowatts this season.

Car crash settlements: Important considerations before accepting
Published on: April 15, 2021 | by Joel L. Katz, L.L.C.
Not long ago, this Maryland-based personal injury blog published a post on settlements for medical malpractice cases. Before an Annapolis victim accepts a medical malpractice settlement, they must be sure that the amount offered is sufficient to meet their needs and cover their losses. Similar considerations should be made when a motor vehicle accident victim is offered a settlement following a collision.
What is a settlement?
Settlements are important agreements that exist in different areas of the law. In the personal injury field, a settlement may be an efficient way for a victim to be compensated for their losses after suffering damages due to another party's actions. Generally, a settlement keeps a legal claim out of court and provides a victim with an agreed upon amount of money. In exchange for the receipt of their settlement money, the victim must give up their future right to sue the responsible party for their accident-related claims.

The statistics on drunk driving in America are shocking
Maryland residents have plenty to worry about whenever they get behind the wheel of a vehicle, but usually there are three primary concerns: drowsy drivers, distracted drivers and drunk drivers. All of these dangers have been around almost as long as motor vehicles have existed. Drunk driving, in particular, is a serious problem in America.
NHTSA statistics
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 28 people die in America every day due to being in a motor vehicle accident that involved a drunk driver. As the NHTSA notes, that is almost one death every 52 minutes. Those are shocking statistics indeed. Fortunately, there is also some evidence that the overall rate of deaths due to drunk driving are dropping in America. For example, the NHTSA statistics show that in one recent year – 2019 – the number of drunk driving deaths reached its lowest point in almost 37 years. Still, in that year alone, there were over 10,140 deaths in drunk driving accidents.
Spinal cord damage is possible in a motor vehicle accident
Published on: March 18, 2021 | by Joel L. Katz, L.L.C.
Modern vehicles are incredibly safe, thanks in part to years of research and development into effective safety devices like seatbelts and airbags. Across Maryland, drivers may operate vehicles with accident detection systems and other technologically advanced programs that help them monitor their surroundings and avoid crashes. These tools, coupled with safe driving practices, help reduce the number of deadly accidents on American roads.
However, as readers of this blog know, not all drivers use safe practices when they are in their vehicles and not even the most sophisticated vehicle safety programs can keep them from causing crashes. When accidents happen, victims can suffer dearly for other drivers' mistakes. One form of injury that is possible when motor vehicles collide is spinal cord injury, and this post will explore its devastating effects.
What is the spinal cord?
There are three types of distractions when driving. Does texting encompass all three?
Published on: March 2, 2021 | by Joel L. Katz, L.L.C.
Many people in are issued a company cell phone at their job, so they can make and receive calls even when they are not in the office. While some workers may find this a convenience or even a perk, others may resent being "on-call" all the time. Either way, there is one time when you should ignore the ringing of your company cell phone — when you are driving.
The dangers of texting and driving
While any cell phone use behind the wheel can be distracting, culminating in a car crash, texting and driving is especially dangerous as it encompasses all three forms of distraction.
Can you sue a commercial vehicle driver's employer?
Published on: February 24, 2021 | by Joel L. Katz, L.L.C.
A commercial vehicle accident can leave devastation in its wake. The sheer size of these vehicles can total vehicles and leave the passengers within them with serious injuries. These injuries, in turn, can have profound ramifications for victims and their families. Severe injuries may leave victims disabled, unable to enjoy their life as much as they did before, and forced to cope with extreme pain and suffering. Making matters worse is the fact that the financial damages thrust upon commercial vehicle accident victims can be enormous.
Suing a commercial vehicle company
Negligent drivers often cause these accidents. In these circumstances a victim can pursue a personal injury lawsuit against that individual driver, but even winning that case may not be enough to fully compensate for the damages suffered. That's why victims of these kinds of wrecks need to consider taking legal action against that negligent driver's employer, too.
Motor vehicle accident spikes over the holidays breeds concern
Published on: December 23, 2020 | by Joel L. Katz, L.L.C.
Despite the 2020 holiday travel season in Maryland and across the nation being radically different than normal, concerns remain about motor vehicle accidents. The most frequent risks of road travel are drivers who are under the influence, reckless drivers, distracted drivers and drowsy drivers. These problems are exacerbated during the holiday season regardless of the circumstances. Since the roads may be emptier, drivers could be tempted to push the envelope. Accidents can cause serious injuries and fatalities. People who have been impacted by a crash and its aftermath should understand what steps to take to pursue compensation.
Law enforcement begins campaign to find at-risk drivers
In Maryland, state police officers will be out in force over the holidays to find drivers who are driving while impaired, distracted, aggressive or are committing other risky behaviors on the road. They will be warned, cited and arrested, depending on the violation. Set to continue through New Year's Day, the goal is to improve safety for those who will be on the road even with the ongoing health concerns that have changed plans for many throughout the U.S.
Quick tips for auto accident victims
Published on: October 29, 2020 | by Joel L. Katz, L.L.C.
Buckle up, Maryland! As the annual celebration of what many call the holiday season kicks off, so does the annual rise in serious crashes. Experts offer many explanations for the increase in car accidents. Increased instances of DUI, less daylight, inclement weather conditions, and even deer and other animals moving on roadways may explain the spike. No matter how prepared a motorist may feel, being injured in an auto accident can be an overwhelming experience.
There are some pointers that can help a victim who has been injured in a serious crash. First, check for damage and injuries. Make sure to call for emergency assistance as soon as possible. Even if a victim is unsure if he or she has suffered a serious injury, it may be a good idea to seek medical attention because some injuries are not immediately apparent. Try to record or document any details that may be helpful for medical professionals, investigators, or legal proceedings by getting as much information about other drivers and vehicles involved in the crash as is feasible for an injured victim.
A victim should prioritize physical and mental recovery. Many victims find it helpful to lean on friends, family or a mental health professional when dealing with the suffering that often follows a crash. A victim who is ready to think about legal action may want to reach out to an experienced attorney.
Accident investigation launched after pedestrian killed
Published on: October 8, 2020 | by Joel L. Katz, L.L.C.
After a hot and dry summer, Maryland residents are welcoming the crisp arrival of fall. As the days grow shorter and the light begins to fade, drivers should take extra caution to watch for pedestrians in or near the roadway. Recently, an accident investigation was launched after a pedestrian was killed by a vehicle.
According to breaking local news, a vehicle struck a man near the small town of Williamsport, Maryland, in the early evening hours of Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2020. Personal details about the victim have not been released, but law enforcement was able to confirm that the victim was an adult male. Police have launched an accident investigation in an attempt to establish the facts of the crash.
The road where the victim was killed was closed for several hours after the crash. More details are likely to be released after law enforcement has been able to positively identify the victim and notify his family members privately. Police are asking anyone who may have information about the crash to come forward. Law enforcement has not yet confirmed if the driver at fault has been identified or if they expect to file criminal charges against the driver.
Accident investigation underway in Maryland
Published on: July 30, 2020 | by Joel L. Katz, L.L.C.
When people are injured or killed in a Maryland accident, authorities must use evidence from the scene, witness statements, footage from traffic cameras and other reliable sources to try to determine the cause. In many cases, after a brief inquiry, it becomes clear what events led up to a crash and which party is at fault. In other instances, details may be elusive, and an in-depth accident investigation is necessary.
Recently, a two-vehicle crash left police and an interested public puzzled. At first, a statement claimed that four people had been killed. A short time later, more details emerged, and officials stated that two people in one involved vehicle had died, but the one person in the second vehicle suffered no injuries at all.
Interestingly, the uninjured driver was transported to a local hospital anyway. Though the reason for this has not been confirmed, it is not unusual for police to send a driver to the hospital for a toxicology screen. This type of testing can determine if a person was under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any other substance that may have impaired a driver, thus leading to a serious crash.
Hit-and-run passenger may be key witness
Published on: July 9, 2020 | by Joel L. Katz, L.L.C.
Bars and restaurants are opening back up in Maryland, and residents who were stuck at home for months are excited to visit both old and new establishments. Patrons must remember that, when visiting a bar or restaurant, they should limit the amount of alcohol they consume or arrange for a designated driver. A recent hit-and-run death may have been alcohol-related, and a surprising witness may be able to provide key evidence.
Police rushed to the scene after receiving multiple reports of a pedestrian being struck by a car. They found a Maryland man with serious injuries laying nearby. He was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment, but doctors were unable to save him, and he was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
Police began to investigate, and the next morning, a surprising witness thought he may be able to help. The caller explained that he may have been in the very vehicle that struck the victim. He identified the driver and said both he and the driver had been drinking and were on the way to another bar. The passenger said he thought the vehicle may have hit something, but after checking the outside of the vehicle for damage, the driver did not seem concerned. The driver was apprehended and now faces criminal charges.

Куща́вник меланезійський (Cincloramphus whitneyi) — вид горобцеподібних птахів родини кобилочкових (Locustellidae). Мешкає на островах Меланезії.

Підвиди
Виділяють два підвиди:
 C. w. turipavae (Cain & Galbraith, ICJ, 1955) — острів Гуадалканал;
 C. w. whitneyi (Mayr, 1933) — острів Еспіриту-Санто.

Деякі дослідники виділяють підвид C. w. turipavae у окремий вид Megalurulus turipavae. Новобританські і бугенвільські кущавники раніше вважалися конспецифічними з меланезійським кущавником.

Поширення і екологія
Меланезійські кущавники мешкають на острові Гуадалканал (Соломонові Острови) та на острові Еспіриту-Санто (Вануату). Вони живуть у вологих рівнинних і гірських тропічних лісах.

Job-loss growth making youths restless: Manmohan Singh
Ex-PM sees rural debts, urban chaos and failure to lift economy to potential
Manmohan Singh asserted that the domestic challenges of India's economy were daunting in their complexity and devastating in their impact on the society.

"Jobless growth" has slipped into "job-loss growth", which, together with rural indebtedness and urban chaos, has made the growing number of aspirational youths restless, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Sunday.
He hit out at the government for purportedly failing to lift the economy to its potential.
Singh asserted that the domestic challenges of India's economy were daunting in their complexity and devastating in their impact on the society.
In his convocation address at the Delhi School of Management, he said the "grave agrarian crisis, the declining employment opportunities, the pervasive environmental degradation, and above all the divisive forces at work" were some of the challenges facing the nation.
"Suicides of farmers and frequent farmer agitations reflect the structural imbalances in our economy, which call for serious in-depth analysis and political will to address them," the veteran Congress leader asserted.
"The jobless growth slipping into job-loss growth, together with rural indebtedness and urban chaos have made the growing aspirational youths restless," Singh said.
The attempts at creating additional job opportunities in the industrial sector have failed as industrial growth is not picking up fast enough, he alleged.
Singh said the small and unorganised sectors, which were vibrant and contributing to generation of wealth and employment opportunities, had grievously suffered in the wake of the "disastrous" demonetisation and "slipshod" introduction and implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
"Well-thought-out policy and implementation strategies are required to stimulate industrial and commercial sectors. Knee-jerk reactions and off-the-cuff announcements of grandiose schemes and unproductive projects have manifestly failed to uplift the economy to its potential," he alleged.
Singh said one of the areas of major concern in the endeavours to promote employment-oriented industry was the gap between the skills needed by industry and the skill sets that the graduating students possess.
"We are living in a fast-changing world. On the one hand we are getting more and more integrated with the world economy and exposed to the global markets, and on the other hand we face massive economic and social challenges at home," said Singh, who was the Prime Minister from 2004-2014.
Changing equations among global powers, and fluctuations in the markets for petroleum products and other industrial commodities, and the financial markets affect India's economy more than ever before, he argued.
"Needless to stress, it is a testing time for our democratic spirit, our patience and tolerance, our capacity of managing contradictions, our resolve of ensuring inclusive growth — a strong, equitable and sustainable growth," he said.
Addressing budding management professionals, Singh told them that they are joining the business world at an important time India is projected to be one of the top three economies of the world by 2030.
This possibility opens up many opportunities and challenges for budding management professionals in this fast-moving world of unprecedented changes, he said.

Each month this summer, we're featuring one of the four North Carolina State Parks closest to the Inn on Mill Creek, and August is reserved for a guest favorite: Grandfather Mountain. Let's learn a little bit about this special place.
Imagine inheriting a mountain. What would you do with it? It's fascinating to us that a lot of the mountains in western North Carolina were privately owned at different points in time, and the same is true of Grandfather Mountain. In the late 1800s, the Linville Improvement Company, led by Donald MacRae, acquired the rights to 16,000 acres in the Linville River Valley, which included Grandfather Mountain. In 1952, Donald's great-grandson, Huge MacRae Morton, became the sole owner of the Grandfather Mountain when the Linville Improvement Company dissolved. Hugh Morton was about 31 years old at the time. An avid photographer, as well as a conservationist, he spent the next five decades of his life on a mission to preserve and protect the mountain, while at the same time, making it possible for visitors to continue enjoying the mountain's scenery and beauty.
One of Huge Morton's first projects was to make Grandfather Mountain more accessible to visitors by extending the existing road all the way to the summit of Grandfather Mountain and having a footbridge constructed at the top that linked two of Grandfather Mountain's peaks. Known as the "Mile-High Swinging Bridge" for its height (exactly one mile above sea level) and the fact that it sometimes sways during windy days, the 228-foot suspension bridge is one of the mountain's best-known features.
The Mile High Swinging Bridge at Grandfather Mountain…sometimes, you'll be in the clouds!
In the early 1970s, the first wildlife habitat was established at Grandfather Mountain, to be a home for Mildred, the black bear that Huge Morton had purchased to be released back into the wild but who didn't want to go back into the wild. Life on Grandfather Mountain was good, it seems! The wildlife habitat area today is home to several different animals.
Morton and his team at Grandfather Mountain endeavored to preserve the mountain and they partnered with the Nature Conservancy beginning in 1990 to protect the mountain's undeveloped backcountry. According to Grandfather Mountain's website, the mountain is home to 16 distinct ecological communities and provides habitat for more globally rare species than any mountain east of the Rockies. Another major milestone came in 1992, when Grandfather Mountain became the first private property to receive recognition as an International Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.
Hugh Morton passed away in 2006, but his family continued his legacy of preservation and conservation, working with the State of North Carolina to create the state's 34th state park at Grandfather Mountain in 2009, with more than 2,500 acres of Grandfather Mountain located inside the state park.
The attractions that are located on the remaining 700+ acres of Grandfather Mountain, including the Mile High Swinging Bridge and the picnic area on the lower section of the mountain, are managed by a non-profit, the Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation. The Foundation also plays an important role in protecting and maintaining the state park side of the mountain.
You'll find no shortage of great hiking trails at Grandfather Mountain, with the more challenging trails located in the backcountry and others on the attraction side. One of our favorites on the attraction side of the mountain is the Black Rock Trail, a two-mile out-and-back rocky trail that takes you through beautiful forested land. Great for birding.
When you travel to Grandfather Mountain from the Inn on Mill Creek (about a 45-minute drive via US Hwy 221 North and the Blue Ridge Parkway), we recommend driving past the mountain first on the Blue Ridge Parkway. This will take you along a section of the Parkway called the Linn Cove Viaduct.
When the Blue Ridge Parkway was being planned, there was quite a bit of discussion about how to get the road around the rugged boulders of Grandfather Mountain. What resulted was the Linn Cove Viaduct, a curvy bridge around the mountain that really makes you feel like you are driving on the edge of the earth. It's hard to describe, but it's amazing. Just like Grandfather Mountain.

Vodafone UK CEO Jeroen Hoencamp has admitted its network "isn't as good as it should be" as the operator embarks on a £1 billion investment programme this year.
This is part of Project Spring, which was announced in November 2013 and will see Vodafone Group invest £7 billion in networks and services by March 2016.
However, after admitting Vodafone's UK network isn't good enough at the moment, Hoencamp said "significant improvements" are being made.
London will be key to this, and will benefit rom an additional 1,000 mobile masts to create what he claimed would be "world class" coverage. Vodafone has also installed the highest connection in Europe near the top of the Shard, which is 308 metres high.
Hoencamp said: "Nothing else matters without the network. It isn't as good as it should be and isn't as good as it can be. Very significant improvements are being made.
With BT's £12.5 billion acquisition of EE confirmed (subject to regulatory approval) and Hutchison Whampoa's £10.25 billion purchase of O2 UK announced, Vodafone itself has been the subject of intense speculation over who it might buy.
Hoencamp revealed Vodafone has looked at acquisition targets such as TalkTalk to boost its entry into the quad-play market.
Whether an acquisition is made or not, the operator is planning to launch consumer broadband services this year, followed by TV services to compete with those offered by Sky, BT, TalkTalk and EE.
He said content will come through partners, as opposed to buying or making its own content, with the company providing from TV sets to mobile phones and tablets that would allow users to watch TV and browse the internet regardless of where they are.
A good point made in the previous comment, but it was just the field facing engineers that were outsourced not all engineers. Some have since been insourced (QoS, radio planning etc).
But agree that the outsource should never have happened as it was just a cost saving excerise and the long time effect on the network wasn't considered, or if it was they got it totally wrong.
I was hoping for some insource deal when VF and O2 accounced their network sharing deal, as having a dedicated field force covering these would make perfect sense, probably working from the JV CTIL. They have insourced some since (QoS, radio planning etc) but for me this isn't far enough.
