When we first purchased our present property and decided to live off-grid, we had solely two water storage tanks. Alternatively, a tropical and happy setting can also be one that is native to the seaside home in hot climes. The important factor I even have significantly enjoyed this yr though is a few color- flowers in entrance of the house. In the show, Laurie performs enigmatic and grouchy medical genius Dr Gregory House who heads a staff of diagnosticians at a New Jersey hospital. The home has been remodeled several instances however maintains many of its original options. This old house has many problems and we are holding on for our new one, patching and band aiding it as we go. In addition to mice, now we have had fly infestations (this was Phil Corrigan's personal battle, lol!), together with a squirrel problem.
So their $seven-hundred a month condominium requires them to earn not less than $2,333 per month to be allowed to lease it. Mind you, they're all linked in line so if one went off, the entire friggin house (10 alarms) went off. The house comes alive with special occasions throughout the year , from poetry performances to household fun days. Recently I wanted some pie, and whereas my go-to is usually Fudgy Vegan Chocolate Pudding Pie , it's not late enough within the season for that. No hats in the house original designs are licensed below this esoteric factor Basically, I do my greatest to provide credit score where credit is due. The bat house could be mounted to the exterior of a constructing, or connected to a pole or a tree. It's wonderful how your temper can immediately pick up when the sun comes out after seemingly-countless days of dreariness. It was not a row home particularly however a nook house with just one other home attached.
Yet Milton is one in all a number of designated zones for increased growth, together with new plans for prime-rise residential towers. This info has but to be disclosed, however Mattel brought 4 designers on board to determine it out: Jonathan Adler (bear in mind his actual-life 3,500 s.f. Dream House in 2009?), Lulu de Kwiatkowski, Celerie Kemble and Trina Turk.
Before gluing or nailing, dry match all of the items collectively to see if any changes are needed – especially the width of the divider which needs to suit between the perimeters within the assembled bat house. I took a drop ceiling out of an outdated house and located dry mildew on the rough lumber. Tiny House Town at the moment uses commercials from a 3rd-occasion advertising site along with occasional affiliate links. Unlike row house developments of the previous, corner homes now not featured commercial space for a retailer or bar.
Rising damp happens when water at ground level outdoors of the property soaks into the construction of the constructing and rises up by means of the walls. The home could possibly be split into three components and be arrange in numerous ways, very similar to its predecessors, and it additionally came with quite a lot of sturdy pink plastic furniture. I call and call and name these locations, pleasing for an interview, solely to get turned down…. I've been homeless for five months now. If you could have scrap carpet, that is just positive, particularly if you had your home carpeted and have some leftover for the reason that cat structure will match your home. I didn't get a chance to see any of the bedrooms or bogs, but they're having another Open House proper earlier than Christmas. Other row home neighborhoods around the city stay inexpensive, snug, efficient choices in quite a lot of communities.

Financial Brands Ramp Up Advertising
by Todd Wasserman , December 5, 2022
If you think you're seeing more financial brands advertising lately, you're right, though that's not across the board.
Capital One was the leader in ad spending for the category for 2021. According to Statista, the brand boosted its spending from $1.6 billion in 2020 to $2.87 billion in 2021.
In 2022, Capital One spent $1 billion on advertising per quarter, according to Washington Business Journal. Other companies, including JPMorgan Chase, American Express and Citigroup also grew their ad spending, and Insider Intelligence predicted that the banking industry would increase its ad spend by 20.4% to $13.54 billion in 2022.
But not all financial brands boosted their spending in 2022. Allstate, Bank of America and Progressive are reported to have cut their spending in the first nine months of 2022.
Those brands may have good reasons for their decisions. A J.D. Power 2022 U.S. Credit Card Satisfaction Study released in August found that 57% of credit card customers are now "financially unhealthy" compared with 53% the year before.
The study also found that the monthly spending that consumers are putting on a primary credit card fell off compared with 2021.
But in a June announcement, Bank of America said that credit card spending rose 16% year-over-year and debit card spending rose 6%. "Consumers are in better shape to respond to a slowdown in the U.S. economy than they have been in many previous business cycles," said David Tinsley, senior economist for the Bank of America Institute.
JPMorgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon agreed, stating in the company's Q2 earnings call that "Consumers are in good shape. They're spending money. They have more income. Jobs are plentiful."

As 2025 approaches, Chesapeake cleanup goal grows more elusive

The Chesapeake Bay region reduced the estimated annual amount of nitrogen pollution reaching the Bay by about 1 million pounds in 2021, according to computer model estimates released Wednesday.
That leaves the region with 41 million pounds of nitrogen reductions left to achieve its 2025 cleanup goal. But if progress continues at the 2021 rate, it will take Bay states another 40 years to reach that goal.
The figures, part of the annual update from the state-federal Bay Program partnership, are the latest indication that the region is unlikely to meet its nutrient reduction goal on time — or anytime in the near future.
Overall, the figures show that since the new Bay cleanup plan was established in 2010, the region has achieved about 42% of its nitrogen reduction goal, leaving just four years to do the bulk of the work.
An overload of nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus are the main cause of poor water quality in the Bay.
The progress report is better for phosphorus, with the region achieving 64% of its goal to date.
But nitrogen is the most problematic nutrient to control and plays a larger role in fouling the Bay. And the region also faces even greater headwinds in meeting its nitrogen goals than the new figures indicate.
The 2021 figures show that since 2009, the District of Columbia and West Virginia have achieved their nutrient reduction goals. Among other states:
Maryland has achieved 58% of its nitrogen goal.
Virginia has achieved 75% of its nitrogen goal.
Pennsylvania has achieved 22% of its nitrogen goal.
Delaware has achieved 20% of its nitrogen goal.
New York has achieved 69% of its nitrogen goal.
According to the model, most nutrient reductions in the watershed last year came from agriculture, with pollution from wastewater treatment plants and runoff from developed lands edging up a bit.

Baywide, the figures show that since 2009, the amount of nitrogen reaching the Bay annually has been reduced from 270.8 million pounds to 240.5 million pounds. The 2025 goal is to have implemented all of the actions needed to reduce nitrogen to 199.3 million pounds. It could take several years for various runoff control actions to become fully effective, though.
But even if the region were to succeed in meeting those 2025 goals, it won't be enough to reduce nitrogen in the Bay to acceptable levels. That's because additional loads of the nutrients are now reaching the Bay due to climate change and problems behind the Conowingo Dam.
Bay Program partners are trying to tackle those challenges. They have committed to cutting another 6 million pounds of the annual nitrogen load to offset the filling of the Conowingo Dam reservoir on the Susquehanna River, which has resulted in more nutrients going downstream. And they aim to reduce another 5 million pounds to offset the water quality impacts of climate change.
There are also concerns about data accuracy in the Bay Program computer model, too. A newer version of the model, which includes updated agricultural data, indicates that another 5 million to 6 million pounds of nitrogen reduction would be needed to offset the intensification of farming operations in recent years. That model version was not used for the 2021 update, though, as states have questioned its accuracy.
In the Chesapeake, nutrients fuel algae blooms that cloud the water. When the algae die, they decompose in a process that removes oxygen needed by aquatic life, creating so-called "dead zones."
In 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency established the Bay's total maximum daily load, or "pollution diet," which established the maximum amount of nutrients that can reach the Bay annually from each state yet still achieve healthy water quality conditions.
The nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus cause algae blooms that cloud the water. A gradually increasing trend in rainfall is driving more nutrient pollution off the land and into streams. Credit: Dave Harp
States each year report what actions they have taken to control nutrients, such as upgrading wastewater treatment plants or installing buffers, or other measures that reduce runoff from farms and developed lands.
The Bay Program then uses computer models to estimate the number of nutrient reductions those actions will achieve.
Most reductions since 2009 — the baseline year for measuring progress — have come from upgrading wastewater treatment plants. But nearly all of those plants have been upgraded, so most of the remaining reductions need to come from agricultural lands, which are also the largest source of nutrients reaching the Bay.

Michael Burry's South Korean Stock Picks
After years of low-key investing at his Cupertino, California-based firm, Scion Asset Management, Michael Burry became more vocal in the media in the past few weeks. In addition to calling a bubble in passive investing and requesting changes at GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME), Burry disclosed some of his stock picks in South Korea, where stocks are "almost always cheap," he said.
The investor, who shot to fame when his bet against the subprime housing market was dramatized in the film and book "The Big Short," told Bloomberg on Aug. 28 he had invested in two South Korean companies: Ezwelfare Co. (XKRX:090850) and Autech Corp. (XKRX:067170). He was also "watching" one other that he might potentially invest in, CJ Corp. (XKRX:001040).
"Korea has so much potential," Burry told Bloomberg in an email. "Yet Korean stocks are almost always cheap, and management teams are to blame because they do not treat shareholders equally as owners."
Burry's portfolio of U.S.-listed stocks lists 10 holdings, which were valued around $94 million at the end of the second quarter, with Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC) and Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:CLF) his biggest holdings. His investment approach centers on fundamental, value-oriented analysis, but he also embraces investing based on macro trends.
"Scion plans to pursue Clients' investment objectives primarily through fundamental research in pursuit of undervalued and/or misunderstood investment situations in the global theater," his firm's documents state.
Stocks in Burry's Scion Asia fund are not all listed in his public equity portfolio because he is not required to list non-U.S. stocks, although he did reporting purchase shares of China's Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (BABA) in the second quarter.
South Korean holdings
Since revealing that he had "recently" increased his position in Ezwelfare Co., shares have risen 8.44%. The company has a market cap of 107.81 billion won ($87.5 million). Its shares traded at 9,890 won ($8.29) Monday, down 2.08%.
The Seoul-based small-cap company creates software for welfare and benefits. Over the past five years, its revenue has grown at a rate of 15.1% annually, while book value expanded at a rate of 1.6%. The company has a price-earnings ratio of 15.29, price-book ratio of 2.65 and price-sales ratio of 1.47.
Autech, an activist investment of Burry's, has declined 3.33% since he disclosed an almost 10% stake. Shares traded around 11,600 won Monday, up 2.2% for the day and 7.91% year to date. Autech has a 178.54 billion won ($149.64 million) market cap.
Autech manufactures ambulance vehicles and specialty vehicles. It also owns several subsidiaries, such as an air conditioner company, a refrigeration company and a parking lot maintenance company.
Over the past five years, the company has grown its revenue at an annual rate of 9.4%, Ebitda at a rate of 26.4% and book value at a rate of 6.6%. Autech's price-book ratio of 1 and price-sales ratio of 0.15 are both near their respective three-year lows. Its price-book ratio is 8.13.
Since Burry reported having his eye on CJ Corp. (XKRX:001040), its stock rose 2.02%. Its stock traded around 80,800 won ($67.72) Monday, up 0.25% for the day and down 30.34% for the year to date. The largest of the stocks he discussed, CJ Corp. has a market cap of 2.18 trillion won ($2.26 billion).
The company, a conglomerate, focuses on a variety of businesses, including food, pharmaceuticals, and entertainment and media. It has also expanded its holdings in the U.S. food market, acquiring frozen food maker Schwan's Co. in February and Kahiki Foods last August.
Over the past five years, it grew revenue at a rate of 13.6%, Ebitda at a rate of 16% and book value at a rate of 8.2%. The company trades at a price-book ratio of 0.61, near a 10-year low. Its price-earnings ratio stands at 37.68, and its price-sales ratio is 0.08.

See 'Frankenstein' and his monster come to life on Redding stage
Jon Lewis
Special to the Record Searchlight
"I hesitate to say it," concedes Mat McDonald, the director of Riverfront Playhouse's latest, "Frankenstein," "but it's a bit of a magic show."
McDonald hopes the magic is a function of the special effects, lighting and other stagecraft wizardry—"there's a very cool creation scene and some other surprises"—as well as the performances from his 16-member cast.
That cast is led by the central figure in Mary Shelley's 200-year-old gothic masterpiece: the ungodly creation that emerges from Victor Frankenstein's laboratory. Sean Sampson, a frequent contributor to Riverfront productions, has been cast as the angry, misunderstood monster.
"He's really blown me away," McDonald said. "He gives a gut-wrenching performance. It's incredible." McDonald said he's also been impressed with Justin Redmill, who takes on the role of the creature's creator. "He's really enigmatic and good. He's taken kind of a thankless role and made it anything but that."
Justin's sister, Sarah, also is in the cast as Justine, the servant wrongfully convicted of murder, and as the monster's bride. McDonald said he was so fond of three dream sequences in Shelley's novel that he incorporated them into the play and had Sarah Redmill choreograph them.
"It's weird and creepy. She does stuff as the bride that makes me laugh. It just blows my mind," McDonald said.
As an adjunct professor in Shasta College's theater department who focuses on hair and makeup, McDonald said the prospect of designing the makeup for the iconic monster was a big part of the appeal for directing the show.
"That was one of the reasons I jumped at it," he said. It was not without its challenges, though. "As we went along, I realized it is a lot to live up to."
The monster's final look was still a work in progress at press time, with some makeup components still on order, but McDonald did offer that Sampson's appearance will be "shocking at first. Definitely unsettling."
McDonald said he selected Andrew Biliter's stage adaptation because it so closely hews to Shelley's novel. It was important to be faithful to the book, he said, since Riverfront's 2019 season is dedicated to classic literature.
"Frankenstein" will premiere on Friday and opens a five-weekend run Saturday at the community theater company's soon-to-be-relocated home in east Redding.

The David Bowie Is exhibition is a spectacular feat that is equally sentimental and factual: a comprehensive catalogue raisonnee of David Bowie's work seen through the perspective of his various costumes and characters. It is the costumes that lead us through the history of his work and the immense repertoire of not only music but also writing, art, and performance. In his work, you can pull together his life, his unique sense of style, and his vision. In his vision, the first thing that comes through is that of someone who really cared about the human condition and the world that we live in—his music was never about protest but was relevant to the times, capturing the concerns of those moments and making him relevant at that time as well as for future generations to reflect on.
The exhibition is a sensorial immersion into his work: an experiential journey, as you are given a set of headphones that are sensitive to your location so that your exploration of his world is accompanied by Bowie's music and voice. You move through the space and hear his voice as if he is talking to you—something made more powerful as he is no longer with us. In a way, he talks you through the show, making it intimate despite the swarms of people surrounding you: among his works, David Bowie is present.
The show welcomes you into the David Bowie universe, opening it up and giving you a glimpse of where Starman, Space Oddity, and Ziggy Stardust came from. It was 1971, two years after Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. Watching the performance that was staged on Top of the Pops that year, with Bowie clad in the orange jumpsuit and Ziggy Stardust makeup, it becomes clear how this man came to define a generation and inspire those that came after—they say the '70s started with that performance. Then we meet Major Tom, the astronaut who appears again later in the decade as a lonely drug addict in need of help. The albums are worlds in themselves; ones that Bowie created. The meticulous attention to detail Bowie had as an artist quickly became apparent. Bowie understood that the manner in which he presented himself on stage and on an album cover was part of a vision that he was involved in every step of the way.
Bowie was sensitive to the world around him, and he had an openness to the way in which he worked, with a complete lack of boundaries adding to his ability to morph and change. Early in his life, he became interested in Buddhism, and this too made its way into his work. Fritz Lang's Metropolis had a profound influence on him, and the city for his Diamond Dogs tour, "Hunger City", featured elements of Lang's masterpiece. In the music video to "The Man Who Sold the World", Bowie performed in a sculptural costume reminiscent of the costumes seen in circuses of another time: here he performs with Klaus Nomi and Jaime Arias, mimes he saw performing in the Fiorucci shop window.
Bowie's costumes were never short of remarkable, including the wearable sculptures by Kanzai Yamamoto, a frequent collaborator who created the most iconic Bowie costumes, from Ziggy Stardust's jumpsuit to the jumpsuit with the billowing legs. He performed in these. Then there was a young Alexander McQueen, who made many of Bowie's costumes in the '90s. He collaborated often, and with his frequent collaborators (like the producer Tony Visconti), they became his best friends. Visconti mentioned in an interview that the working relationship was working with a genius—he was very exact in his words as well as his work. Bowies list of collaborators were extensive: everyone from John Lennon and Mick Jagger to Lou Reed, Gus Van Sant, and Mick Rock.
Today, when we consider the progress we have made in breaking down walls, only to build them back up again (let's not talk about the wall in the USA: it's dire), we look back to the 1986 concert that Bowie played in Berlin by that infamous wall (from an old NHK clip). In the city that he called home for three years (where he made his Berlin Trilogy that marked his black and white period), Bowie strategically placed the speakers so that they were facing the crowds gathered on the other side of the wall rather than the audience before him. As we know, the Berlin Wall came down in 1989 along with a crumbling ideology. Upon David Bowie's death last year, the German government gave a tribute to him declaring, "Thank you David Bowie for helping us to bring down the wall. You are with the Heroes now." And yes indeed, he is our hero and David Bowie is Forever.

Citizens want Government to reform healthcare in India in year 5
• Majority not happy with progress made in first 4 years
• 87% citizens want charges for Private Hospital service standardized
• 63% citizen say a Doctor's compensation in hospital should not depend on number of procedures conducted or tests prescribed by them
• 53% citizens want all consumables to be billed by hospitals at MRP or lower price
• Only 32% citizens believe that healthcare facilities and services in their city have improved in the last 4 years
28th May 2018, New Delhi: There has been major discontent among citizens about the health care services available in the country. Low quality of Government Healthcare and Private Healthcare's approach of operating like a business first and ethics later has majority of the citizens across the country concerned.
The government has been making some efforts to improve the healthcare facilities in India and new National Health Policy in 2017 after almost 15 years, is one such move. One of the priorities of this policy is to increase the healthcare expenditure by the government as a percentage of GDP from 1.5% to 2.5% by 2025.
LocalCircles conducted various polls to identify what should be done to ensure healthcare reform in India. In the first poll, citizens were asked if surgery/procedure charges at hospitals across India be standardized to a fixed price based on hospital star rating to increase transparency and trust in healthcare services, 87% replied in an affirmative, with 9% declining and 4% not being sure about it.
87% citizens want charges for Private Hospital service standardized
Many cases like children dying in a UP Government hospitals due to lack of oxygen, women giving birth outside hospitals and helpless patients waiting in the alleys of Government hospitals waiting to be attended by doctors have made headlines through the last few years. Citizens have a different set of issues with private hospitals where people feel that these are money making machines and many a times a patient is subjected to unnecessary surgeries, treatments and OPDs so everyone in the medical supply chain can meet their targets. This became evident in a recent case with a Gurgaon hospital where a - year old girl who died was billed some drugs and consumables at a profit of over 1700%.
The second question asked what should the compensation model of private hospitals for doctors be. 45% said they should be on salary only with strictly no incentives, 29% said they should be on salary plus incentives based on individual contribution, 18% said they should get salary plus incentives based on hospital profitability and 8% could not decide how it should be done.
63% citizen say a Doctor's compensation in hospital should not depend on number of procedures conducted or tests prescribed by them
Many citizens had reported that doctors are usually given financial targets by hospitals and are incentivised every month for achieving them. This leads the doctors to unnecessarily prescribe tests and medicines to the patients, thereby increasing their bills by many folds.
Third poll asked how consumables should be used for a patient be billed by the hospital. 39% said there should be packages for treatment with a package price that includes all consumables, 53% said it should be basis actual MRP of consumables with services billed separately, 4% said it should be left on hospital's discretion and 4% were unable to decide.
53% citizens want all consumables to be billed by hospitals at MRP or lower price
In parallel polls 74% said that corruption related to procurement/supplies is a common phenomenon at government hospitals while 85% citizens had said they prefer to go to private hospitals instead of government hospitals.
In the recent LocalCircles survey on 4 years of central government performance, only 32% citizens had said that healthcare facilities and services in their city have improved in the last 4 years whereas 62% said they have not improved.
Only 32% citizens believe that healthcare facilities and services in their city have improved in the last 4 years
Union Health Minister JP Nadda had recently directed Chief Ministers of all the states to adopt and implement the Clinical Establishments Act, 2010 so that malpractice in private hospitals can be curbed. The Act that applies to registration and regulation of all clinical establishments will also help the government to monitor the diagnostic centres and pathology labs running in various parts of the country and make sure that they adopt the right standards.
• Upcoming Budget 2018: Healthcare is India's most neglected area in every budget
• Citizens want private hospital charges standardized
• 66% citizens in favour of Government creating a price capped category for premium stents

Original Australian Daybill Movie poster approximately 13" x 30" folded as issued, very good - fine condtion, three additional creases (see enlarged photo for condition). NOTE: This poster was printed by Marchant and Co and is incredibly rare - the only one I have seen.
As a parting shot, fired reporter Ann Mitchell prints a fake letter from unemployed "John Doe," who threatens suicide in protest of social ills. The paper is forced to rehire Ann and hires John Willoughby to impersonate "Doe." Ann and her bosses cynically milk the story for all it's worth, until the made-up "John Doe" philosophy starts a whole political movement. At last everyone, even Ann, takes her creation seriously...but publisher D.B. Norton has a secret plan.

Family pay tribute to 14 year old who died suddenly at home
Credit: Family
A family have paid an emotional tribute to a teenager who died suddenly after being taken ill at her home.
14-year-old Leah Thayers was rushed to hospital but died shortly afterwards. Her death has been referred to the coroner as a non-suspicious sudden death.
Her family described the teen as a "happy, always smiling child" who received numerous awards for her academic and sporting achievements.
Leah is well known for too much talking, (she could talk for England!), asking stupid questions and giving silly answers and far to noisy for her own good! Leah had so much care for other people, but most of all, her smile.
This was Leah and we would not change her for the world.
Leah loved many things,like swimming, shopping, TV-(especially her soaps, she would be weeks ahead of everyone), hanging out with friends, messing around and playing tricks on people. Leah also enjoyed playing bowls with her nan.
Don't forget the balloons,(she loved those) and all the selfies.
Leah very much enjoyed working at the RSPCA and PDSA after school and in the holidays.
She could often be seen at the Street Baptist Church Youth Club on a Friday evening with friends.
Leah also tried her hand at the Moonlight Theatre Pantomime, singing and dancing.
I am glad Leah had the chance to enjoy her school trips to Belgium, Iceland and New York, but she was looking forward to so much more, her prom, driving, holidays with friends, her own home and one day, having her own business-but sadly she was taken too soon.
Leah was loved by many, missed by all, but will never be forgotten.
The tears in my eyes I can wipe away, the ache in my heart will always stay, if tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Text lanes introduced in shopping centre
Shopping centre to introduce texting lanes Credit: Clarks Village
The Clarks Village in Somerset designer shopping outlet has become the first retail centre in the UK to introduce dedicated 'texting lanes' to allow the safer and more efficient use of mobile and smartphones by people walking along busy malls.
The texting lanes, which are clearly marked throughout the village, also feature innovative signal boosting technology built into the lanes to ensure users never lose signal whilst on the move.
We live in a modern connected world and have noticed the phenomenal increase in mobile and smartphone use from our customers.
While we appreciate the desire to constantly communicate for work or social reasons, this does sometimes present a congestion problem on our busy malls.
So in the interests of safety and convenience for our customers, Clarks Village has launched a new 'Texting Lane' initiative for the ever increasing number of our shoppers using mobile phones whilst shopping.
We believe this initiative will ease the pedestrian flow and prevent the frustration of our non-texting visitors.
The addition of the in-built signal boosting technology is already proving very popular with early users and we have noticed a marked increase in people tweeting about their purchases and sharing details of special offers they have noticed in the village.

I am a 70 year old retired man living in the state of Florida. Growing up in Pennsylvania, I can still remember dreaming about being an astronaut in my teen years in the late 50's and early 60's. About 6 years ago I started to become aware of new and emerging technologies that could make space colonization a real possibility for mankind. 3D printing, advances in nuclear fusion research technology, and building a space elevator with carbon nanotubes are some of the many that caught my attention.
I feel that we must master the power of the Sun (nuclear fusion) if we are going to be completely self sustaining and break our reliance on our Sun for energy. These last 5 years or so have been a real learning experience for me, because I am on the internet so often trying to find information on the many technologies involved in orbital space colonization. I have also learned just how massive our Solar System really is, especially if you include the Oort Cloud. Just to travel to the inside boundary of the Oort Cloud is 93 billion miles from our Sun. Then you're looking at a distance of 1.6 light years just to travel through it. Some estimates have it containing over a trillion icy objects, which we know as comets, if and when they enter the inner Solar System. Perhaps, once we have colonized the Solar System including the Kuiper Belt and hopefully mastered nuclear fusion technology, then the Oort Cloud could be the next frontier with water and other raw materials needed for future expansion on our way to the stars.
When you stop and think about it, as big and wonderful as our world is, it is a fixed growth environment with only so much water and so much real estate and that's it. On the other hand, humanity has unlimited growth potential. Because of those facts, I feel that our best option is to strive for orbital space colonies, because once we have mastered the creation of them, then we can create them on demand. Relying only on the colonization of another fixed growth environment like Mars would only be a temporary solution. Possibly, we have the perfect element to use in much of the construction of these super massive structures which would be carbon. With carbon down at the atomic level, when you can get all four electrons in the valence orbital shell to participate in the bonding process, you have one of the strongest materials known to man. Carbon nanotubes are a great example. The naturally occurring solid carbon material, diamonds are the hardest substances as a result of its atoms four point bonding structure. Carbon, which comes from the lower end of the Periodic Table, requires only two orbital shells to contain all of its electrons. A full complement of two electrons in its inner shell and the remaining four go in the outer or valence shell.
3D printing is one field that really excites me, because we haven't even begun to scratch the surface yet in this technology. In the decades to come after we have enhanced our expertise in space exploration and colonization, while also making considerable advances in 3D printing precision possibly down to the molecular or atomic level, maybe we should be looking into mining the atmosphere of Venus which is over 96 percent carbon dioxide. When you consider the size of Venus and the extreme density of its atmosphere, that's virtually an unlimited supply of carbon and oxygen for future space colonization. Of course I am assuming that by then we have already mastered a technique for separating the two elements from carbon dioxide. A question that I would like to ask someone in the science community is "IS ANYONE DOING ANY RESEARCH INTO USING CARBON DIOXIDE GAS AS AN INPUT SOURCE IN THE PRODUCTION OF CARBON NANOTUBES". Researching the internet turned up only 3 universities that were doing research in that area. One in China, one in India, and one in Johannesburg South Africa.
To say that I am obsessed with any technology dealing with the creation of and the development of space colonies would be a gross understatement. I feel that the habitability of Earth is only temporary and that one of those doomsday scenarios that you're always hearing about, will eventually occur and without space colonies, as a species we will go the way of the dinosaur. Being in my 70's I realize that I won't be around to witness the reality of space colonization, but I would love to see someone or some organization getting the ball rolling in that direction. It's time we began our journey to the stars.
I wrote a Memoir, "I remember when', which covers my pioneering Mercury and Gemini programs activity. I am 84 and still locked into Gods Garden, which I call our Galaxy.

Die Stena Jutlandica ist eine schwedische RoPax-Fähre der Stena Line.

Geschichte
Das Schiff wurde im März 1996 als Stena Jutlandica von der Werft Van der Giessen-De Noord abgeliefert. Für kurze Zeit nach der Ablieferung bis August 1996 fuhr das Schiff als Stena Jutlandica III. Das Schiff wird zwischen Göteborg und Frederikshavn eingesetzt.

Am 23. Januar 1998 kollidierte die Fähre bei Göteborg mit dem Tanker Brevik. Am 19. Juli 2015 kollidierte sie ebenfalls bei Göteborg mit dem Tanker Ternvind.

Die Stena Jutlandica ist das erste von zwei ähnlichen Schiffen, die von Van der Giessen de Noord gebaut wurden. Das zweite Schiff, die Isle of Inishmore, verbindet das walisische Pembroke mit dem irischen Rosslare Harbour.

Innovationen
Im Rahmen des Stena-Energiesparprogramms werden viele innovative Umweltprojekte verfolgt, unter anderen wurden von 2011 bis 2012 Versuche mit Windturbinen durchgeführt. Dazu wurden auf der Stena Jutlandica auf dem Vordeck zwei Windturbinen auf 4 m hohen Masten installiert, die 4-kW-Generatoren antreiben. Sie sollten nach Stena-Angaben etwa 23.000 kWh pro Jahr erzeugen. Der Strom wurde genutzt, um die Beleuchtung auf dem Autodeck des Schiffes zu versorgen.

Seit 2018 wird auf der Stena Jutlandica der E-Speicherbetrieb mit Akkumulatoren getestet, um praktische Erfahrungen für das Projekt "Stena Electrica" zu sammeln.

Does Trump mean bad news for UAE dirham?
UAE expats shun US dollar investment as Trump gains ground.
Published: Sun 6 Nov 2016, 5:46 PM
Last updated: Mon 7 Nov 2016, 7:25 AM
Close your eyes. imagine a scenario where Republican nominee Donald Trump is the leader of the so-called free world.
Would you - yes, you - want to invest your hard-earned money in 'that' America?
If you answered yes to that, then you, like Trump, are kind of in a minority right now.
Also read: Trump's name removed from Damac billboards in Dubai
For, a new survey of UAE expats by the Dubai-based Globaleye shows that respondents have been increasingly moving away from investments in the US dollar as Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton's lead over Trump narrows in the race for the White House.
Globaleye says that this risk-aversion is expected to continue up to the election on Tuesday, and beyond it, as the full ramifications of the result on the global economy are felt.
The strength of the USD is particularly important to those who earn in UAE dirhams as it is pegged to the dollar - and if dollar loses steam, the dirham suffers too.
"At the start of the year, we saw a lot of expats in the UAE moving into cash investments on the back of market volatility in China," said Globaleye Vice-President, Stefan Terry.
"We are seeing that again now as politics always stirs up a lot of emotion. This US election is really affecting investments, probably more than any other election," he said.
So, if the dollar (and therefore the dirham) is losing ground, which currency is it losing ground too?
It's the British Pound that is, wonder 'o wonder, once again finding favour with the fickle investor.
GBP assets are being seen as particularly attractive by expatriates in the UAE, with the currency strengthening against the USD on Thursday and Friday, says Globaleye.
The firm reports that many British expatriates in the UAE believe that GBP has, for the near future, reached a low point and the time is right to invest before it starts to rally.
"Following Brexit, we had a significant weakening of the British Pound, which has continued until now. However, in relation to the USD, that looks to have stopped for the time being. Expatriates feel now is the time to invest in GBP," said Terry.
This Tuesday the world will turn to American to watch the results of the US Presidential Election - between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump - unfold.
In the UAE, the personal finance ramifications are significant.
"On qualification criteria alone, it's hard to argue against Clinton's candidacy, whereas Trump represents the greatest unknown," Terry added.
"If Trump did win, the markets would likely go a little crazy in the short term. Once this volatility subsides, it wouldn't be surprising to see stocks actually doing better than they would under a Clinton presidency given how difficult it would be for him to initiate any government action.
"In the UAE, it is not just about who wins the election but also how that will affect individual's investments and future plans."

Home People Pharmacist Insight – Older and Wiser
Pharmacist Insight – Older and Wiser
Thea Cowie
Dr Renly Lim is a Research Fellow at the University of South Australia working to expand the role of pharmacists in residential care facilities, developing and evaluating a service to prevent medication-related side effects using digital health tools.
How did your National Health and Medical Research Council project come into being?
I've not worked in residential care facilities (RCFs) but I volunteer just as someone who is keen on helping older people. When the residents found out I was a pharmacist I started hearing stories from them saying, 'I'm convinced that ever since the doctor gave me this medicine I'm losing my balance.'
It seemed that if they said this to the nurses they'd be told, 'Oh no, you're fine. You just sit down there and we'll talk to the doctor.' But that seemed to never happen and the resident wouldn't get the opportunity to see their pharmacist.
I thought, 'What if they do have a fall?' I'd feel responsible for not doing anything. So that made me feel that there is so much more that we can do for people in RCFs.
The project came into conception when I started working with Professor Libby Roughead at the Quality Use of Medicines and Pharmacy Research Centre. Together with other co-investigators, we prepared a grant for the Pharmacy Trial Program.
So how does your NHMRC project help address that?
The overarching theme is digital health and medication safety. The most exciting objective is to develop and evaluate a novel pharmacy service in a randomised controlled trial in order to identify and prevent medication-related side effects in older people.
We've already started the participatory action research phase – we'll be asking pharmacists to use a range of tools and we've started teaching them how to use them. We're going to ask to fit an activity tracker on the residents, measure changes in weight and grip strength and other indicators of medication-induced side effects.
The pharmacists will then review the residential aged-care assessment records, interview patients, make recommendations to the residents' GPs, and follow up on residents' conditions during the next sessional pharmacist visit.
How could your work help change the role of pharmacists?
Currently the role of pharmacists in RCFs is quite limited – most of their work is Residential Medication Management Reviews. In this clinical trial we are testing a pharmacy session every eight weeks over a year.
The trial is funded by the federal Department of Health's Pharmacy Trial, and the service will be evaluated by the Medical Services Advisory Committee to determine if it is effective and cost-effective.
If it's successful, we hope that the program will be implemented nationally. That would greatly expand the nature of services that pharmacists can provide in RCFs.
During all this, you were involved in a University of Oxford project called Village Drama Against Malaria (VDAM). Tell us about your work in Cambodia?
The project was a science-art innovation involving a series of two-and-a-half day workshops, followed by a drama performance in each village.
The three key messages of the drama project were the need to use insecticide-treated bed nets and repellents, the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, and the risks of malaria. We saw very positive response in the villages.
I led the evaluation to assess the feasibility of using drama as a community engagement strategy for malaria elimination. We found that drama was effective in promoting awareness and understanding of malaria elimination.
Getting involved in this project was one of the most rewarding experiences in my career thus far. I got to know many international researchers, some of whom have become my research collaborators. Most importantly, Associate Professor Phaik Yeong Cheah from University of Oxford, and the head of the VDAM project, is now my mentor for my NHMRC fellowship.
What was the highlight of that experience for you?
It was a huge culture shock. When they asked if I'd like to be involved I said yes without knowing what I signed up for. The project was in a really remote area of Cambodia, where people have really limited access to education and health services. There's a general lack of infrastructure, the roads are in terrible condition and they don't have access to clean water.
Now, I know that Denmark and Norway got voted as the happiest countries in the world, but I feel like the Cambodian people are genuinely the happiest people in the world. They have so little, yet they're really happy about living. So now every time I'm stressed about research I remember my time in Cambodia – when I taught them about malaria and they taught me about life.
