How much is Constantine Alexander-Goulandris Worth?
Constantine N. Alexander-Goulandris Net Worth: Constantine N. Alexander-Goulandris is a Greek billionaire who has a net worth of $15 billion. Constantine N. Alexander-Goulandris was born in 1963 in New York City, New York. He is the chairman of the board and majority shareholder of Victory Carriers and Petromaritime, a Monaco-based petroleum and energy shipping company. He purchased the remnants of the company and the flagship company, Olympic Maritime, both originally started in 1943 by family friend the late Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis from the Onassis estate for a reported $250 million. Alexander-Goulandris then grew the privately-owned business into one of the world's largest energy shipping companies. Among Alexander-Goulandris' subsidiaries are Petromaritime, the Victory Group (a commercial real estate enterprise which owns over 15,000,000 sq ft (1,400,000 m2) of commercial real estate around the world, including a large portion of Olympic Tower in New York City) and over a dozen additional subsidiaries. Alexander-Goulandris reportedly owns one of the largest mega-yachts in the world and his private jet fleet includes a Boeing 767-400ER with an ultra-sophisticated communications systems and anti-missile defenses. He has also been known to own helicopters. He is reported to be single and keeps a low profile. He maintains homes in Greece, Switzerland, Paris, London, Antibes, New York, Los Angeles, Hawaii and Monaco, his principal residence.

Baker Center Celebrates New Building
View all the posts from November 3, 2008
Political memorabilia from Sen. Howard Baker Jr.'s own collection.
Interactive exhibits that ask you to make key decisions lawmakers faced in major national controversies such as Watergate and Iran-Contra.
Stunning photographs that Sen. Baker has taken over the years.
You'll find these and more in the museum housed in the new Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy. The 53,000-square-foot center at 1640 Cumberland Ave. was built at a cost of $17 million, funded entirely by private dollars.
A grand opening celebration was held on Oct. 31. Dignitaries in attendance included U.S. Supreme Court Justice (Ret.) Sandra Day O'Connor, Gov. Phil Bredesen, U.S. Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, and U.S. Rep. John Duncan.
Baker, who earned his law degree from UT Knoxville, served three terms as a U.S. senator and rose to national prominence during the Watergate hearings of 1973 - 74 as vice chairman of the Senate Watergate Committee. Baker was a candidate for the 1980 Republican presidential nomination and served as President Ronald Reagan's Chief of Staff in 1987 - 88. In 2001, President George W. Bush appointed him as U.S. ambassador to Japan, a post he served in until 2005.
In 2000, the U.S. Congress awarded UT a $6 million grant to help establish the Baker Center. Tennesseans serving in Congress at the time, including. Sens. Bill Frist and Fred Thompson, said it was appropriate that Baker's leadership skills and contributions to public service be studied and copied.
The Baker Center, originally housed in Hoskins Library, opened in 2003 with the mission to further the public's knowledge of our system of governance and to highlight the critical importance of public service, a hallmark of Baker's career. Today, Baker helps raise money and create partnerships for the center. He also provides ideas and assists in programming.
In addition to the museum, the new building also houses the Modern Political Archives, which hold more than 100 collections of political papers from prominent Tennessee leaders including Baker, Thompson and former U.S. Sen. Estes Kefauver, former Knoxville Mayor and Ambassador to Poland Victor Ashe and former Tennessee Supreme Court Justice Riley Anderson.
A 200-seat auditorium, classrooms, and break-out rooms provide space for instruction and conferences.
"The building will showcase and enhance the Baker Center's work, making it an even greater asset to our university and our community," Baker Center Executive Director Alan Lowe said.
For more information about the Baker Center and webcasts of the grand opening events see http://bakercenter.utk.edu.


What problem in level measurement will result from there being an occasional vapor pressure buildup inside this vessel? How may this problem be corrected so that the liquid level will be accurately measured at all times?
Any vapor pressure will be sensed by the transmitter and interpreted as increased liquid level!
Use two transmitters (one at top of vessel, one at bottom) and electronically subtract their output signals.
Connect the "Low" side of the one ∆P transmitter to the top of the vessel to naturally compensate for vapor pressure.
Since the transmitter infers level from the amount of pressure sensed at the bottom of the vessel, any vapor pressure buildup inside the vessel will be falsely interpreted as additional liquid level, since the transmitter senses the sum total of hydrostatic pressure plus any vapor pressure trapped inside the vessel.
For example, if the process liquid level were at 10 feet (50% of range), the hydrostatic pressure generated by the liquid column would be 120 inches W.C., assuming a specific gravity of 1.0, equal to water. If, however, the vessel contained a vapor pressure equal to 15 inches W.C., this pressure would add with the 120 inches W.C. of pressure generated by liquid head to create 135 inches W.C. of total pressure sensed by the transmitter.
As a result, the transmitter would "think" it was detecting a liquid level of 11.25 feet (135 inches high) instead of the true level of 10 feet (120 inches high). Essentially, any vapor pressure in the vessel results in a "zero" shift of the transmitter's indication.
In many applications, the gas pressure inside a vessel far exceeds the hydrostatic pressure generated by the column of liquid inside of it, so this problem can be a very serious one in level measurement. We need to fully understand the nature of the problem and how to solve it in order to successfully measure liquid level in many industrial applications.
Because the differential pressure transmitter solution requires only one sensing instrument rather than two, and results in better accuracy because we are only dealing with the inaccuracies of a single instrument rather than the compounded inaccuracies of two instruments (three, if you include the subtraction unit), the differential, or "d/p" solution is the one more widely used.
In this particular level measurement application, a differential pressure instrument would have the exact same calibration points (lower and upper range-values) as a "normal" pressure transmitter connected to an open vessel.
In this article complete solution for closed tank using dp transmitter not elaborated clearly. The questions arises that for the explanation given above for dp transmitter what will be the calibration range?

Q: Nintendo Digital Zelda Breath of the Wild Wii U transfer to Switch Does the wii u digital version of Zelda Breath of the Wild count the same as Switch Zelda Breath of the Wild version?
IE if you own wii u Zelda breath of the wild, Will it count as owning Zelda breath of the wild on Switch? Or will it not count and have to buy twice?
I don't have a switch to test this on so. Otherwise I would test it myself.

A: No, the Wii U and Switch games are separate products.
At this time the Switch has no connectivity with other Nintendo hardware. The only linkage on the console is that the friends list has awareness to the lists in their mobile apps.

Logic's performance of '1-800-273-8255', a song about his own battles with depression, at the VMAs prompted a 50% rise in calls to suicide prevention hotlines.
The rapper had taken centre stage at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards with Alessia Cara and Khalid and a gang of suicide attempt survivors in order to bring attention to mental health awareness.
John Draper, director of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, said following the performance of the song from new album Everybody, they received an alleged 50% surge in calls.
It's not just about the calls. It's about increasing awareness about suicide, and suicide prevention in particular. The calls don't even begin to count the number of people who, just by listening to the song and hearing the lyrics, feel more hopeful and less alone.
VMA's executive producer Garret English also praised Logic, especially giving the recent deaths of Linkin Park's Chester Bennington and Soundgarden's Chris Cornell.
This past year, our audience was forced to say goodbye to musicians too soon because of suicide. We want to do more than remember these artists. We want to remind people that suicide is preventable and that there are ways to get help and feel better if you're struggling emotionally.
If you or someone close to you is struggling with mental health problems, please don't hesitate to speak to someone. There's plenty of help out there.

"Number One" is a song by Italian singer Alexia, released as the third single from her debut album, Fan Club (1997). Co-written by Alexia, it was her third successive top 5 hit on the Italian singles chart. Also in both Finland and Spain, it peaked within the top 5. A set of Spanish versions were released, although these were not specifically for the Spanish market.

Releases and formats
The song was released in Italy on CD and 12" (coded DWA 96.06), with releases in other European countries following. Once again the German edition would be released by ZYX, the Spanish release by Blanco Y Negro, the French release by Panic (a subsidiary of Polygram, the Finnish release by K-Tel and the Brazilian release by Spotlight. A full set of releases were commissioned for Europe by Sony Music, once again on their Dancepool label; a Maxi CD, 2 track CD and 12" release (Sony code 663995).

Two remix releases followed; the 'Happy Remix and Spanish versions' remix release and a second release entitled 'remix'. All the tracks across these two vinyl releases were later released on one CD. This would be Alexia's second American release, once again through Popular Records in 1997, with "Me and You" being added on the releases. The American promotional 12" contained a new remix of "Me and You", though it was mistakenly labelled the 'Extended Euromix'.

Chart performance
"Number One" went on to become an international hit on the charts in Europe. It reached number two in Finland, and was a top 5 hit also in Italy and Spain, peaking at number three and four. In Italy, it stayed within the singles chart for a total of nine weeks. Additionally, the single was a top 40 hit in Flemish Belgium and France. On the Eurochart Hot 100, it climbed to number 60 in December 1996, as its highest position on that chart.

Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that "import enthusiasts are already big fans of this fast-paced Italo-disco ditty. Alexia is a charming ingénue with the potential for great things, as evidenced in a performance that has more natural flair and earthy grit than is normally found on records like these. Producer Robyx surrounds her with a strobing dance beat and fluttering flamenco guitars, à la No Mercy's "Where Do You Go". One of several festive, hit-worthy jams on Alexia's forthcoming debut album, Fun Club." Pan-European magazine Music & Media described the song as "vocal dreamhouse by Italo producer Robyx. In the Club Short Mix, the usual piano is replaced by an acoustic guitar which gives the song that lucky holiday feeling."

Music video
The accompanying music video for "Number One" was directed by Italian director Alessandra Pescetta. It first aired in January 1997.

Q: Is using static variables in Unity inefficient? [C#] [Android] I don't know a lot of programming but basically I read somewhere that if you declare a variable like this:
public static int hi = 1;

Then you can acces it from another file using "file.hi". (I don't really know what static is but that's not the point).
I do check some things in one of my scripts and then acces the variables from another one, although I could do them directly in the other script, because I don't want to have a mess of code and want it to be more organized, but the question is, does this have a big impact on the efficiency of the code? I'm working with android, so I don't want to start doing things wrong and then have my game run slower.
Thanks for your time and sorry for any english mistakes, I hope you understood my problem ;)


In removing tree roots from the ground, they are often so large that you will need to grind them down. This can be a very time-consuming process if you try to do this on your own, plus you are going to need to rent specific equipment. Tree roots can typically be cut out of the ground, but grinding is much more efficient. You can find professional tree companies that provide this type of service. To find the best tree root grinder in your area, these tips will lead you to the most affordable ones.
These services are actually very unique for a couple of different reasons. First of all, stump grinding is quite common, but grinding the actual tree roots out of the ground does require very specialized equipment. They are having to work around the dirt and rocks that are going to be adjacent to the roots, and you will need a professional that will know exactly how to get this done. A professional tree root grinder will be able to come out to your location, assess the situation, and set an appointment where they can provide you with the tree service. They may also be running a special deal where you can save a lot of money on the services that they offer, plus get this done in the next few days.
You will be able to get estimates from multiple companies that will provide this tree root grinding service. Some of them provide very affordable tree service, and as long as you can verify that they are doing a great job in your community, this is a company that you want to use. It's only by getting multiple estimates that you will be able to choose the best company of them all. In just a few weeks, or perhaps even sooner, you will have your tree roots removed from your soil.

The Early Years Foundation Stage
Preschool education at CWA Tajikistan is the Early Years Foundation programme for children aged three to five years. Our school provides a caring environment that promotes a happy and confident start to school life. All children are entitled to a rich curriculum, both indoors and outdoors, designed to meet different needs and abilities of a diverse international community of young learners. Learning through fun, creative and play-based curriculum, each child is challenged and supported to reach his/her individual potential.
The Early Years curriculum focuses on seven areas of learning.
3 Prime areas:
Social and emotional development
4 Spcific areas:
In this stage we link home and school through a learning partnership which will carry the children through their Early Years education into Primary and onwards. We encourage all children to explore their learning environment while being surrounded by examples of positive relationships. Learning inside and outdoors builds early independence, problem solving and confidence. The children's school daily routine draws from each area of the 'Early Years Foundation Stage' curriculum.
CWA Tajikistan Primary School has an innovative and creative curriculum reflecting best practice in the UK and Tajikistan. The diverse and creative curriculum offered by CWA Tajikistan is very carefully tailored to meet the needs of a multi national community of children. Outstanding teaching and learning opportunities are grounded within the National Curriculum of England and adapted to the Tajik environment. Differentiated personal learning plans addressing children's individual learning aims are identified throughout the curriculum. This is to take into account the diverse range of nationalities our school caters for. Assessment is both formative and summative, allowing teachers to build up a picture of the 'whole child'.
Key Stage 1 (Year 1 and Year 2)
The Key Stage 1 curriculum is based on the National Curriculum for England. Children are supported by professional teachers to become independent and competent learners. Children in Year 1 experience a longer day than in EYFS, providing more opportunities to develop their personalities, natural abilities and talents.
Key Stage 2 (Year 3 to Year 6)
Students in this stage follow Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum for England, which continues to build on the foundations that are established in Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1.
Our professional teachers carry out ongoing assessment to ensure that each child continues to progress and develop to meet CWA Tajikistan and the National Curriculum for England standards. All children are supported to acquire skills that would allow them to participate in a meaningful and active manner in their learning process.
On completion of the primary school at the end of Year 6, all CWA Tajikistan students will have received a well-rounded education, will have developed a strong character and are well- prepared for their secondary education. The students take external tests at the end of year 6.
Key Stage 3 which is comprised of Years 7, 8 and 9 known follow the National Curriculum for England. In this stage the focus remains on the provision of a well rounded education and on a holistic development of all learners. In Year 7,8 and 9 students are expected to become reflective, independent learners who can take risks, collaborate well, communicate clearly and be kind, compassionate and sensitive members of an international community.
CWA Tajikistan follows the British National Curriculum throughout the Secondary School Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.

DIR: Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski • WRI: Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski • PRO: Bruce Berman, Grant Hill, Roberto Malerba, Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski • DOP: John Toll • ED: Alexander Berner • MUS: Michael Giacchino • DES: Hugh Bateup • CAST: Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Eddie Redmayne, Sean Bean
The Wachowski siblings have arguably struggled to reignite the commercial success of The Matrix, which altered the parameters of the science-fiction blockbuster in the late 1990s. Whilst their ambitious visual style marks them as visionary masters of their craft, critical opprobrium generated by films such as Speed Racer (2008) and Cloud Atlas (2012) points to an inability to reconcile an intense and elaborate visual technique with that of nonsensical and awkward plots. Such criticism has become the norm in the Wachowskis' oeuvre and Jupiter Ascending does not appear to deviate from this career trajectory. Originally scheduled for release in July 2014, the film was delayed by seven months owing to an intricate editing process, casting a grim foreboding air over its future.
Written and directed by the Wachowskis (with more than a nod to Dune), Jupiter Ascending is a science fiction space opera starring Mila Kunis as Jupiter, a dissatisfied cleaner who discovers via genetically engineered ex-military hunter Caine (Channing Tatum) that she is the genetic reincarnation of the murdered matriarch of the intergalactic royal Abrasax family and rightful owner of Earth, the most profitable planet. The three Abrasax heirs are one of the ruling dynasties of the universe who harvest the planets once overpopulated to create a youth elixir that will see them live for millennia. When the Abrasax siblings discover Earth and their vast galactic inheritance rightfully belong to Jupiter, the duo embark on a frenetic galactic odyssey, intercepting the Abrasaxes attempts to kill her and reclaim ownership of Earth.
Adapting the classic big guy versus smaller guy narrative and attempting to elevate it to another level fails miserably in Jupiter Ascending and this is largely owing to the film's egregious script. Whilst the reported $175 million budget for the film is clearly evident through its ambitious production design, resplendent costumes and intricately choreographed combat sequences, once the enterprising if not rather turgid spectacle has been stripped away, the audience is left with not much else. In an attempt to compensate for an over-investment into the film's elaborate special effects, the Wachowskis infuse the narrative with a romance between the protagonists but this proves to be regressive, misplaced and underwhelming in a film containing convoluted sub-plots and involving too many archetypal characters delivering hackneyed and disjointed dialogue. All that is achieved is a chaotic core narrative with the film's players evidently overwhelmed by the deluge of the CGI stunts involved and having very little else to do.
Kunis is undoubtedly miscast as the hapless toilet cleaner turned kick-ass action heroine and Tatum, as the hypermasculinised, saturnine, elf-eared hero, is just redundant throughout. Kunis struggles to connect with the oppressive characteristics of Jupiter and can only muster enthusiasm for the role once involved in combat. Only Eddie Redmayne as the dastardly, camp Balem Abrasax and Sean Bean as poker-faced Stinger appear to inject any sort of emotional depth into their characters, although Redmayne does border on the comical at times.
Unlike The Matrix or Cloud Atlas, which provided texts rich in philosophical musings and religious symbolism, Jupiter Ascending fails to offer its audiences anything other than a one-dimensional and disappointingly regressive visual saga of sci-fi fantasy and 1950s pulp. As craftspeople, the Wachowskis cannot be faulted for the dazzling spectacle they have created in Jupiter Ascending. Alas, this has come at a cost to both the film's actors and audiences, who have just been deposited into a glaring void of ennui and confusion.

*Updated* Is there room to cut bloat in the V.I. government to help fill its crippling structural deficit?
Most large government agencies are starved for funds, not overfunded. But if we look closer, there may be room for surgical cuts that can move the deficit in the right direction and set an example by leading from the top. It is possible to have bloat and waste while struggling to meet urgent needs.
Although most V.I. government employees are not well paid, those at the top do very well. Department commissioners are very well paid. Contracted consultants do very well. The governor's salary is one of the highest in the nation, set by Act 6905 in 2006 at $150,000 per year, despite serving one of the smallest – and least wealthy – jurisdictions. The governors of 38 states somehow manage to get by with less than the V.I. governor.
The current governor, Gov. Kenneth Mapp, in particular has a reputation for free spending, buying $80,000 luxury vehicles so he can be driven a few miles at a time around St. Thomas in style, spending office funds on restaurants, shopping and extensive hotel stays at the St. Thomas Ritz Carlton and abroad.
The symbolism would be to show that you are willing to sacrifice while asking others to sacrifice. To lead by example.
– Limiting government fuel use to 10 gallons every two days per car and mandating users of vehicles to maintain fuel logs and turn them over to Property and Procurement for compilation.
The Governor's Office is a tempting place to look for cuts. As Mapp noted, it has symbolic significance. But the Office of the Governor's budget is $9.95 million – up from $8.9 million in the last year of his predecessor, yet small compared to the annual $100 million deficit and a $1 billion budget.
Still, the V.I. Office of the Governor spends more than many much larger jurisdictions and many jurisdictions of similar or smaller size.
The state of Virginia budgeted $5.3 million for the Office of the Governor for 2017, out of a $52.3 billion state budget. That is barely more than half as much as the USVI, for a governor's office that oversees a state government with 103,000 employees – almost the same number of employees as the entire population of the USVI.
Hawaii, a small state that similarly has several islands, budgeted $4 million for their office of the governor for 2018. Hawaii has 1.42 million residents, about 13 times the V.I. population. The Hawaii governor oversees 65,000 employees – more than the population of St. Thomas.
Guam spends $7.8 million for a governor's office for 165,000 residents. The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands with 54,000 people, about the population of St. Croix, budgeted $860,000 for the Office of the Governor for 2017.
Not everyone literally spent less for their governors offices regardless of size, though. Neighboring Puerto Rico budgeted $18.5 million for their office of the governor for 2015; twice the V.I. budget, for a vastly larger population and government. The state of Montana, with 10 times the V.I. population budgeted $13.3 million in 2017 for their governor's office- only a little more in total and much less per resident and taxpayer than the USVI.
Governors' offices all have to perform similar functions, no matter how small the jurisdiction. It may be a little unfair to compare them on an apple-to-apple basis. But the USVI is certainly not on the low end of the scale.
Editor's Note: This story has been changed to remove an assertion that governors do not have to pay rent or utilities. While governors are legally allowed to live at Government House and have a driver and vehicle provided, governors typically have a private residence and pay most normal bills.
How about a Report on the millions of dollars spent annually by the USVI Government on renting private property for offices?
The under-utilization of its Broadband Network while paying fabulous sums to privately-owned Internet Providers?
The purchasing of Gasoline for its fleet of vehicles from a particular gas station, on St.
The refusal to plant attractive ground cover along the roadsides, which would suppress wild growths of guinea grass and wild tamarind whenever rain falls, and drastically reduce the expenses associated with perpetual cuttings?
Great list of things we can do NOW! Thanks!
Since Act 6905 established the Governor's salary at $150,000 annually, then why did the Governor suggest that those who favor its reduction should "go to a Constitutional Convention and make that decision as a community"?
Why a Constitutional Convention? LOL.
The solution, simply, is that the Legislature itself can repeal or modify that particular aspect of Act 6905 that pertains to the Governor's salary.
But then…will Governor Mapp veto or approve a Bill to reduce his salary?
Montana has TEN times the V.I. population at approximately 1,050,000 people. Get the ridiculousness of the situation right. I just jumped on the glaring example of how it is likely TWICE as bad as you are seeing it.
I think this entire series/subject is being approached from the wrong perspective. It seems that all assessments are being based on logic and common sense, with the assumption that the VIG is honestly open to suggestions. After many years of observation of the practices, rhetoric, dissembling, obfuscation, and blame throwing of the VIG, as well as the revolving door of recycled characters I have come to the conclusion there is actually no problem at all. Many well-meaning people (the author included) have tried to offer solutions to the perceived issues, all falling on deaf ears. The VIG and population in general do not respond or acknowledge any of it, and I believe it is because either they see no problems, or they resent the outside assessments of their cabal. As the article states, upper levels of government are well-provided for (you know, once you are confirmed as a commissioner, senator, governor, etc., make sure you get "yours" before you do anything else, and continue to milk it until you are fired and recycled, repeat process again). I honestly believe that trying to fix a system that any logical, honest, intelligent person can see is corrupt and broken is pointless, and frankly unwelcome in the eyes of the VIG.
While the above comment is my opinion, it is my hope that article like this, as well as the positive comments of people WILL bring about positive change. It's only through a groundswell or escalation of constructive criticism that change will occur. Silence encourages the continued abuse of power.

Tom Horne's Pals Fife Symington and Randy Pullen Call for Mark Brnovich to Drop Out of AG Race, Hilarity Ensues
Stephen Lemons
Stephen Lemons | February 7, 2014 | 12:01pm
Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne's good buddies, former Arizona Governor Fife Symington and onetime Arizona Republican Party chair Randy Pullen, want Horne's foe in the GOP primary, Mark Brnovich, to tap out of the fight.
In a campaign fundraising e-mail sent to Republican faithful, Symington and Pullen argue that Brnovich is behind in the polls and in fundraising and that his staying in the race only helps Horne's once-and-future Democratic rival, Felecia Rotellini.
"In my opinion, Brnovich is not a viable candidate and should get out of the race," claims Symington in the mass e-mail. "His continued presence will only aid the Democrats in the General Election."
Nah, Fife, what Rotellini wants more than anything is to run against "Hit-and-Run" Horne, the guy who didn't leave a note when he backed into another car in a parking structure at his alleged mistress Carmen Chenal's apartment complex.
Because of this -- and because Horne put Chenal on the state payroll at a yearly salary of $108K, and because of the FBI investigation, and because of Horne's alleged campaign finance shenanigans in 2010, which will be the subject of a court hearing to begin Monday --Horne is considered damaged goods and ripe for a knockout punch.
The last thing Rotellini wants is to face a relatively scandal-free Republican in a general election. Against Horne, she can just go the high road and let independent expenditure committees eat the AG alive with attack ads that quote transcripts from the FBI investigation.
There are a lot of Republicans who will vote for Rotellini over Horne. That's why Horne allegedly cheated in 2010, because Rotellini was peeling off too many Republican voters. He needed an attack ad to help do her in. That ad was provided by Business Leaders for Arizona, an IE run by Kathleen Winn, now Horne's outreach director.
The argument regarding poor fundraising is pretty funny, considering that the $300K war chest Horne's been bragging about is artificially inflated by $100,000 lent to him by his sister Christine Newman.
That loan is already a joke in political circles and has spawned its own Twitter hashtag #whatmysistergaveme.
The "polls" that the Horne camp seems to be referencing are way old. And in Horne's case, the only polls that matter are informed polls, where likely voters are told about Horne's various ethical transgressions.
As the Arizona Capitol Times' Yellow Sheet pointed out Thursday, Pullen's call for Brnovich to bail is pretty ironic considering that Pullen was not known as a money-magnet when he was GOP chair.
Also, Pullen currently is seeking the GOP primary nod for state treasurer along with two other candidates, each of whom has raised considerably more cash than Pullen. By the same logic, Pullen should be a good soldier and fall on his sword.
The Yellow Sheet did not remark on the tight bond between Symington -- who donated to Business Leaders for Arizona in 2010 -- and Horne. Nor did it comment on an amusing coincidence.
That is, both Horne and Symington faced scandals in their administrations because of certain women they employed.
In Horne's case, of course, it was Chenal, who left the AG's Office last year for a job with Horne supporter Dennis Wilenchik's law firm.
In Symington's case, it was a woman named Annette Alvarez, whom he hired to a $60K-a-year gig as his policy adviser for international relations while he was governor.
Acclaimed Phoenix attorney and former New Times editor David Bodney described the controversy regarding Alvarez and Symington in a much-referenced piece from 1992, "Why Fife's History."
In that article, Bodney writes:
"The Governor filled the highest echelons of state government with all the thirtysomething Symington Company employees that public money could buy.
"Annette Alvarez was one of them. A beauty. Symington paid her $60,000 a year and made her his top assistant in charge of Arizona's international trade.
"Just because she had no experience in foreign trade didn't matter. She hadn't graduated college, either. Perhaps she had some special skill that qualified her for the job."
The piece continues, with more revelations unearthed by New Times:
When New Times was researching the foibles of this appointee, we asked ourselves how Symington could have picked this woman for the job. Along the way, we discovered a love letter she'd written My Dear Fife" in the early hours of the campaign, back in December 1989.
In that handwritten letter, Alvarez professed her undying love for Symington. "I do know I love you," she wrote, and it will be forever, but I don't think it's the kind of love I'm looking for."
As the letter went on, she described the pain of a previous relationship she'd had with a married man. She said she didn't want to live out any more secrets." She waxed on about the hummingbird Fife had given her. Bright, vibrant and free."
And she said: My Dear Fife, I am slowly going under by allowing this heightened intimacy to continue. I've changed the faces but the behaviors are constant."
Last October we published a story that catalogued the millions of dollars in lost opportunities Alvarez had cost the state. We also offered the only logical explanation of how this college dropout had risen so quickly to the top of the Symington Administration. It spoke volumes about the Governor's judgment.
And his hubris.
While we said the letter suggested an intimate affair between Symington and Alvarez, we also admitted that the missive, at a minimum, showed Annette's emotional dependency on Fife. All in all, it was not a healthy way to conduct the state's foreign affairs.
Alvarez ultimately resigned. Both parties have denied an affair. And such things are notoriously difficult to confirm, absent, say, a blue dress adorned with DNA, a la Monica Lewinsky's.
Ultimately, Symington's political career was undone for other reasons. Still, Symington's stalwart support for Horne, whom I'm told once did legal work for Symington back in the day, does call to mind this intriguing, though admittedly imperfect parallel.

2017 witnessing a significant drop in accidents compared to that of 2016 was among the information provided in the official release of the Seoul Metro '2017 Safety Report.'
The 'Safety Report 2017' is the first publishing of such content since the merger of Seoul Metro (Lines 1-4) and Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation (Lines 5-8) into the 'Seoul Metro' last year, serving as a comprehensive safety scorecard released to the public. The report was an opportunity to reflect on projects that managed to be unsuccessful while also notifying people of the successes regarding the results from actions taken on safety improvement and program operations open to the public.
The number accidents throughout the year of 2017 in lines 1 through 8 of the Seoul Metro totaled at five, translating to a 58.3% decrease by as many as seven accidents from last year's twelve. Even when comparing the identical time period last year before and after the May 31st merger, the accident rate showed signs of a decrease. During the first five months of 2017, prior to the merger, the accident rate was recorded at four, yet following the merger, a mere one accident was recorded during the rest of the year. This demonstrates a significant drop from the eight accidents in 2016 during the same period to only one.
Immediately following the merger, on-site operations expanded approximately by 100 safety employees with as many as 400 additional employees from Seoul Metro dispatched to different locations to provide assistance. Accident reduction has been primarily in part to the active implementation of safety policies such as the real-time recording of security cameras using ICT technology and the establishing of a smart unified safety response area enabling multilateral video conferences to maintain communication.
Disruptions in subway operations, such as subway car malfunctions, were not included in the calculation of accident rates, however, there was an indication of an increase of one incident from five to six during the span of 2016 to 2017.
According to the report, among the causes of related disruptions, the deterioration of subway cars was the greatest culprit, catalyzing plans for car replacement for lines two and three up through 2022. Shifting from a principle of operation placing emphasis on being 'timely' to being 'safe' has had an impact on the increase of disruption, which has also led to delays in operation due to discovering the precise cause behind any disruption prior to the implementation of exact measures for the safety of the passengers.
The Seoul Metro also autonomously developed the SQI, or Service Quality Index, to indicate the current standard of service through categories including safety, convenience, amenities and more, and regularly post the results on the metro's official website. In addition, the Seoul Metro also publishes the "Subway Safety Guide" in cartoon form, which is included in the safety report as an appendix, to notify the public of mandatory safety regulations during subway use.

Belgium has halted education projects in the Palestinian territories after finding that a school it financed was renamed after a woman whom Brussels considers a terrorist. Two further school projects have been suspended.
The Belgian government on Tuesday announced that it had suspended educational aid for the Palestinian Authorityafter discovering that a school it had financed it 2013 was renamed after a woman who led a deadly attack against Israeli civilians in the 1970s.
Belgium's foreign ministry said it has recently discovered that the school, located in the West Bank city of Hebron, had been renamed as the Dalal Mughrabi Elementary School.
In a statement, Brussels said that the school's name had been changed without its knowledge, and that the new name was "unacceptable."
"Dalal Mughrabi was a Palestinian terrorist who led a terrorist attack against Israel in 1978. This attack caused the death of 38 civilians, including 13 children," the foreign ministry said. "The Belgian government unequivocally condemns the glorification of terrorist attacks. Belgium will not allow itself to be associated with the names of terrorists in any way."
By suspending educational aid ties with the Palestinian Authority, Belgium has put on hold the construction of two further schools, as part of an aid project totaling around 3.3 million euros ($3.8 million).
The Palestinian education minister, Sabri Saydam, said in a statement that he regretted the Belgian government's decision but invited the Belgian Consul General "to meet and discuss the matter."


Went to my youngest great grandson's 10th birthday party yesterday. Been feeling crappy for the last few days and realizing that Josiah is now 10 rather added to the "gosh I am old feeling" that's been hanging around me like a premonitory shroud of late.
Though it had rained all morning, the sun came out for the party, a good thing, as there were a huge number of maniacal 10 year old lads running amok. After the cake cutting, my daughter and I went next door to escape and have some time together. She and her husband are building a log cabin and it was good to see much progress there. They are living in their camper during construction and will be glad to have a real house again.
Drove around town and looked for signs urging voters to support Amendment 2, medical marijuana bill, pleased to find a good number. Maybe Missouri will come through on this one, fingers crossed.
Came home and Anah, J, and Erin came down and with their help got the Halloween decorations up, so it is looking festive now.
Was up from midnight on with stomach issues so still feeling blah. Another very rainy day and chilly too. The temps keep flipping back and forth with no time to acclimatize.
Reading Donna Tartt's book, "The Secret History," and finding it hard to put down. Looking forward to a restful reading day and hopeful that my current malaise will be gone soon.

NDRC to deepen pricing reforms in monopoly sectors

The National Development and Reform Commission, the country's top economic planner, will further deepen the pricing reform in monopoly industries, such as electric power, natural gas and railroads, as part of the government efforts to perfect the market-oriented pricing mechanism by 2020.
A favorable pricing policy environment will be created for social capital to enter railway construction and operation
The country will further improve the trading rules and regulations in the electricity market and deepen market-based reform of natural gas prices for non-residential users, as well as speed up the construction of natural gas trading centers in Shanghai and Chongqing, said Hu Zucai, deputy director of the NDRC.
A favorable pricing policy environment will be created for social capital to enter railway construction and operation, he said.
The commission will increase efforts to drive forward the market-oriented pricing reform, improve the pricing supervision system and let the pricing mechanism guide resource allocations, in order to achieve high-quality, efficient, fair and sustainable development.
The regulator said it will focus on several fields, such as monopoly industries, public utilities and services, environment protection, agriculture and people's livelihood. It will regulate the pricing mechanism based on the principle of "costs plus a reasonable return".
The commission will improve the safeguard mechanism for low-income groups, and step up its anti-monopoly enforcement to create a fair, competitive and orderly market environment.
"We will improve the pricing mechanism in the public services sector, including urban water, electricity, gas supply, as well as medical services and tourist attractions. We will also establish a dynamic pricing adjustment mechanism," Hu said.
The regulator also said it will comprehensively push forward the pricing reform related to agricultural water consumption and agricultural products, to boost the supply-side structural reform in the agriculture sector.

South Gardens Named Sustainable Project of the Year
Our South Gardens development was named Sustainable Project of the Year at the Construction News Awards on 12 July 2018.
The ambitious residential project at Elephant Park, London, was up against six other finalists, ranging from major rail stations to multi-use office buildings. However, its array of sustainability credentials saw it rise above the competition to claim victory.
At the heart of South Gardens are fifteen 3 and 4-bedroom townhouses, built to Passivhaus standards and featuring cross-laminated timber (CLT) as their main structural material.
Passivhaus requires extremely high levels of air-tightness and whole-house mechanical ventilation, resulting in heating and cooling-related savings of up to 90 per cent. The homes at South Gardens are the only ones in central London built to this standard.
Green roofs were installed on the scheme's apartment blocks where possible, to improve the buildings' environmental impact and help combat urban heat islands.
Wastewater from South Gardens is collected, treated and recycled to flush toilets in the buildings, while the contractor diverted 98%of construction waste from landfill.
The 360-home scheme is the first phase of a 2,718-home, £2.3bn development in London's historic Elephant & Castle district. Elephant Park will eventually feature 1,000 new trees and create 4.5 ha of new public spaces, and is one of only 18 projects worldwide to be signed up to the C40 Climate Positive Development Programme. This commits it to hitting net-negative operational carbon emissions by 2025.
All of these measures impressed the CN judging panel, drawn from 70 industry experts, which said: 'We were impressed with the scale and the ambition of the project, the willingness to experiment with Passivhaus, and the commitment to include this in future developments.
'The level of community engagement and the fact that the project will leave a legacy of a new urban park for London were also impressive.'
In addition, the judges praised Lendlease's transformation of a strategically important site in London – something 'others have tried and been unable to make work'.
For more on the Construction News Awards, click here.
All homes at South Gardens are now sold, however two and three-bedroom apartments are available in the current phase at Elephant Park, West Grove.
Our dedicated teams across all of our developments are here to help.

Certificate of Medical Examination
Aiming to establish an objective diagnostic tool through marker development
When providing veterinary care to farm animals, advanced medical equipment is rarely used, because such equipment is large and expensive. In practical settings, veterinarians treat sick farm animals by judging their conditions mostly based on the findings of physical examinations. Under such circumstances, the underlying disease often ends up not being accurately identified. In light of the above, Professor Hisashi Inokuma is working to develop methods of analyzing the pathology of internal diseases in farm animals and readily diagnosing such diseases, instead of relying on the experience of individual veterinarians. The professor's study focuses on hematological, cardiovascular and neurological diseases, because these diseases are difficult to clinically diagnose while the animal is alive.
"Bovine leukosis is a viral malignant neoplastic disease whose incidence has more than tripled in the last ten years," Professor Inokuma says. "Most animals infected with bovine leukemia virus are asymptomatic. In addition, bovine leukosis is designated as a notifiable infectious disease, but not as an infectious disease in which the isolation of infected animals and the disinfection of contaminated areas are legally required. This keeps preventive measures from being put in place and contributes to the spread of the disease. In cases of atypical bovine leukosis, where the infected animals don't develop lymphoadenopathy or other symptoms, the leukemia can't be diagnosed until the animals are slaughtered for beef. The carcasses of animals with bovine leukosis must be disposed of. As a result, the farmer suffers tremendous losses from foregone profits. In light of this, we started to search for tumor onset markers that could be used for diagnosing bovine leukosis in live animals, and we discovered that serum thymidine kinase activity and some specific genes are useful for diagnostic markers. These markers have been introduced in practical settings but not in routine examinations, because testing for them is costly."
In 2015, the professor started to study leukosis in young cattle, which has been on the rise. Now, he's collecting data to determine whether there are any genetic differences between cattle that are infected with the bovine leukosis virus at three years of age or older and those infected at a younger age. Furthermore, it's been hypothesized that animal genes are influenced by feed and other aspects of the farm environment. The idea is to test whether epigenetics are involved in the pathogenesis*.
*The study of heritable changes in gene expression or cellular phenotypes that don't involve changes in the DNA sequence
In cattle, neurological diseases whose common symptoms are the inability to stand or walk are considered to be caused by brain or spinal cord inflammation or tumors, intoxication, metabolic disorders, malnutrition or other factors. However, it's impossible to make definitive diagnoses for such farm animals until they're autopsied, because MRI, CT and other advanced diagnostic facilities are unavailable.
"We're working to establish a systematic diagnostic method towards solving the problem we currently face that clinical findings are not linked to a definitive diagnosis," the professor says. "Our university is accumulating clinical and pathological data in cooperation with a laboratory of veterinary pathology that's actively addressing diseases in large animals. And the university has been investigating diagnostic markers so that diagnoses can be made by using the blood, cerebrospinal fluid and other accessible bodily materials of living animals." He optimistically adds, "The establishment of diagnostic markers is expected to lead to the development of prognostic diagnosis that would be useful in decision-making, for example, on whether treatment should be provided or spontaneous recovery can be expected."
As part of his life's work, the professor has also dedicated himself to the study of tick-borne infections. Anaplasma phagocytophilum (hereinafter: "Anaplasma") is a newly identified pathogen, and much about it remains unknown. The existence of the Anaplasma bacterium in Japan was confirmed approximately ten years ago.
"It's been known in Europe that humans and dogs, in addition to horses and cows, can be infected with Anaplasma, so I was interested in whether this was the case in Japan," the professor says. "This is why I started to research Anaplasma. Although the existence of this pathogen has been known, there had been no recorded cases of anaplasmosis in Japan until 2014, when the university received a report of anaplasmosis in dogs in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki. Consequently, epidemiological research is being conducted to determine the number of the dogs infected, the species of tick that transmitted the pathogen, and other details. Based on DNA analysis, the pathogen was shown to be related to one in South Korea and China, but common features shared by dogs carrying Anaplasma have not been found and the species of vector ticks remain unknown. We're in the process of identifying the route of infection."
In principle, patient cattle are transported to the university for detailed examination that can't be performed on farms. The university accepts approximately 100 or more cattle patients each year.
"In the Tokachi region, whose approximately 400,000 head of cattle outnumber the human population, we sometimes encounter rare diseases in cattle that can be only seen in textbooks," says Professor Inokuma. "This advantageous location is an attractive feature of the university."
The driving force behind the professor's research is his aspiration to increase diagnostic accuracy in veterinary medicine and to make veterinary science more accurate and detailed. As an educator, he maintains the same approach. In clinical clerkship, the professor uses diseased animals to instruct students on how to make logical, evidence-based diagnoses. Students express their views on possible diagnoses based on the results of basic examinations and other data. If the students' diagnoses conflict with the autopsy, the professor has the students give thorough thought to identify the reasons behind such divergence. As there are a few research papers on large animals, the professor encourages students to present research results at conferences and to submit research papers to journals.
"A researcher's tasks include publishing new findings," he says. "It's exciting when new findings disprove old scientific explanations and textbooks need to be revised," the professor says, his mouth breaking into a smile, "and when new findings contribute to the vitalization of the livestock industry in Japan."

With the offseason officially underway, Around The League will examine what's next for all 32 teams. The series continues with the Buffalo Bills.
It starts on defense, where Cleveland's elongated coaching search landed on Mike Pettine and left the Bills without a coordinator. Jim Schwartz is a proven replacement, but Pettine transformed Buffalo into a top 10 unit that piled up a franchise-record 57 sacks. On offense, we'll be watching to see if the team adds quarterback competition for second-year pro EJ Manuel. If they don't, he will be given a more robust playbook to work with come September. If he isn't up to the challenge, Bills fans are in for a long season.
» S Jairus Byrd: Buffalo's biggest free agent by far. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported last week that the Bills want to craft a long-term deal for Byrd, but they'll use the franchise tag if they can't get one done by March 3. If he's tagged, we're likely in for another long, potentially ugly showdown between the two sides. That is, unless Buffalo tries to trade him -- maybe to the Browns?
» TE Scott Chandler: "I'm hoping he decides to come back, I really do," coach Doug Marrone said of Chandler. Coming off a torn ACL, the tight end compiled career highs in receptions and receiving yards, but he's far from a dynamic pass-catcher. If they keep him, we'd like to see Buffalo acquire another tight end who can hurt opponents after the catch. I don't see Tony Moeaki as the answer.
» K Dan Carpenter: Hitting on 33-of-36 field goals, Carpenter enjoyed his finest season yet. He's a sensible target for a re-signing.
Count me among those suspicious of Manuel. I didn't like his play down the stretch, especially inside an offense that toiled to simplify his reads and cater to his limitations. Look for the Bills to give the quarterback a full chance grow in year two, but Marrone admitted the team could go in any direction at the position. I'd love to see Buffalo add another rookie. At receiver, Stevie Johnson has his moments, but adding a top-flight wideout might be the team's top priority. More safety help will be needed if either Byrd or Leonard depart, and we expect Schwartz to import players who fit his scheme.
Kevin Kolb's release would shave $3.1 million off the cap. Marrone acknowledged this month that he's unsure if the quarterback will return, but Kolb is hardly the guy to push Manuel. And I don't buy the whispers that Stevie Johnson will be released, mainly because he'd trigger $8.47 million in dead money to just $25,000 in cap savings in 2014. Moeaki, however, has a cap hit of $1.35 million and didn't catch a pass last season. One last potential release is Erik Pears, who turns 32 in June and counts $2.9 against the cap. As of today, he's still seen as Buffalo's starting right tackle.
Buffalo, with decent cap room, is ripe to chase a big-name free-agent receiver or grab a wideout in the draft. Look for tight end to be another priority in May, along with adding youth to the offensive line. The Bills aren't going to select another first-round passer, but general manager Doug Whaley left the door open to drafting a "bigger" signal-caller in the later rounds. On defense, Whaley also talked about Kiko Alonso potentially moving to outside linebacker, which would leave the team looking for help inside.
