But Clark County Registrar of Voters Joe Gloria said it was simply high turnout that led to long lines. "The fact that we had a good turnout is very good news for us," he said.
During the 2016 election, voters in Clark County were assigned to one of 279 precincts. More than 233,000 people in the county voted in that election.
A law passed in 2017 gave registered voters in the county access to any of 172 vote centers. This year, more than 223,000 voters cast ballots. This was the first time during a general election that voting centers had been deployed across the state.
Despite similar turnout in 2016 and 2018, Gloria said he did not think a reduced number of polling places contributed to longer lines. He said the county has worked to make voting more accessible to everyone.
"As far as the system's concerned, it's performed exactly the way we expected it to," Gloria said
Gloria said he will review the election process with his team to make changes for the 2020 election.
"We'll definitely make improvements between now and then," he said.
Voters in at least three counties — Clark, Lyon and Washoe — were casting ballots at least two hours after the polls closed at 7 p.m., officials said.
Several Clark County polling places had reports of lines hundreds of people deep at 7 p.m., and anyone who was in line at that time was allowed to cast a ballot, officials said.
Polling places in Clark County did not experience any technical issues with machines, but some did require additional printers. All votes were processed, Gloria said.
The first votes came into the county election center shortly after 8:15 p.m. and continued to trickle in throughout the night.

Among the locations with the longest lines in Clark County were the Galleria at Sunset Mall in Henderson and Rancho High School in central Las Vegas.
Just 15 minutes before the polls closed at the Galleria at Sunset, more than 200 people stood in line — plus several roaming toddlers, one dog, and one cat on a leash.
Tensions ran high when Sheila Tillemans, a cake decorator who got off at work at 6:30 p.m., tried to slip in line just after 7 p.m.
"I can only move so fast, I had two ankle surgeries," she told election workers.
Eventually, she was let through. The lack of an enclosed space at the mall made it different than typical voting places, such as a school or community center.
Jerry Rodriguez, however, wasn't so lucky.
He showed up about 20 minutes past closing time. He thought polls closed at 8 p.m.
And in an ironic twist, there was an early polling station right near his work in the Southern Highlands. He just didn't realize he could now vote anywhere in Clark County.
"It kind of sucks," he said of not being able to vote. "I really wanted to see what was going on with that Question 3."
An hour after the doors closed at Rancho High School, the line still snaked out the voting room and into the school's atrium. A mariachi band serenaded those waiting while others passed out water, snacks and pizza.
Voters leaving the school after the polls closed said they waited about an hour or so to cast their ballot.
Those who waited out the line after the doors closed didn't seem to mind.
Antonia and Fernando Alverez hadn't voted at Rancho High School before, adding that they recently moved to the area and it was convenient for them.
They waited about an hour before somebody helped Antonia Alverez to the front, on account of a disability, the 59-year-old woman said.
Waiting aside, the pair appreciated the music, water and snacks handed out to those sticking in line.
"Oh my goodness," 63-year-old Fernando Alverez said. "Excellent."
Alethea Velardo, 18, wasn't thrilled about voting for the first time because politics can be "messy," she said. However, once she cast her ballot, she was glad she did.
"I know in the end our voice matters," she said.
Even as the line continued well after the doors closed, Velardo expected the lines to be longer and the experience to feel more "hostile," as people with different viewpoints were gathering together.
"It didn't feel that way," she said.
Her mother, Leticia Vigil, 39, persuaded her to come to the polls. Vigil was a first-time midterm voter, and she said she wanted to be a part of the change she wanted to see, citing her Mexican heritage. At her daughter's age, Vigil wasn't as politically involved.
"I wanted her to have that experience," she said.
Vigil hasn't typically voted at the high school before, but she did tonight because it was down the street from her house.
One woman, Loretha Turman, 28, waited about 2.5 hours to cast her ballot. Food in hand, Turman said she wasn't upset about the wait. The food and water being passed out helped the wait, but the chance to make your voice heard only comes around every couple of years, Turman said. Turman, who is African American, said she doesn't take her right to vote for granted and exercises her right each chance she gets.
"You don't reserve the right to complain if you're not gonna do your part and vote," she said.
Pizza to the Polls, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that has pizzas delivered to polling places where long lines have formed, tweeted Tuesday that it was feeding voters throughout the Las Vegas Valley. In addition to sending pizzas to the Galleria at Sunset and Rancho late Tuesday, pizzas also were delivered to Boulevard Mall, Meadows Mall, Swainston Middle School and Dickens Elementary School, four other locations that saw hundreds of people in line when polls closed.
At Roy Martin Middle School, about 50 people still stood in line 90 minutes after polls closed.
Mark Moxey was losing steam. He got off work and stood in line for nearly two hours.
"I wasn't going to vote but I started feeling guilty," he said. "'I said you know what, this is an important election.'"
He longed for the kind of pizza sent to the Galleria mall and other locations, since he didn't have dinner.

Paper shortage causes delays at Las Vegas polling place
The polling place at Doris Reed Elementary School, 2501 Winwood St. had a paper shortage and was temporarily down to eight working machines of its 14 total, said Martin Boyett, the team leader at the polling station, adding that turnout was high at the station Tuesday night.
The polling station received new shipments of the paper from a warehouse and were able restore functionality to the down voting stations, he said.
Those working at the location came out to address the line of voters snaking out the door onto the sidewalk, said 68-year-old Janet Cunningham of Las Vegas, who stood in line for about 45 minutes to vote.
"They had already called somebody, and they apologized," Cunningham said of those working at the polls.
Despite the machine issues, Cunningham said the voting experience was pleasant and among the best she'd had.
On her way out the door, she let others still waiting for their turn to vote know that the machines were working again.
Polling place staff advised the line of other nearby places people could go to vote if they didn't want to wait for the line, Bernice Flenory said.
Flenory, 60, waited about an hour in line to vote. She said the delivery happened roughly 5:30 or so, and the machines were up and working again after that.
"Despite that it still was pretty fast," she said, proudly wearing her "I voted" sticker on her chest.
She said she wasn't satisfied with the Trump administration and the status quo, and voted accordingly.
"I want the blue wave," Flenory said.

Over 200K Nevadans have voted so far
As of 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, more than 200,000 Nevadans had voted on Election Day.
The 227,309 votes —including 156,491 in Clark County — is in addition to the nearly 630,000 ballots cast in early and absentee voting.
At 855,981, overall turnout for the 2018 election is well above totals seen in the 2014 midterm election. More Nevadans voted during this year's two-week early voting period (554,000) than cast ballots in the previous midterm election (552,000).

Some voters waiting 30-45 minutes at polls
The line at Rancho High School, near Bruce Street and Owens Avenue, formed an "L" shape about 2:45 p.m. from the front doors.
Jimese Powell, 37, waited in line for about 30 minutes. Powell, an insurance agent from Las Vegas, wasn't thrilled with the candidate choices on her ballot.
"They're all kind of iffy but I pray the right person gets in office," she said.
Powell said she thinks Tuesday marked her first time voting in a midterm election, but came to the polls more out of a sense of obligation than anything else, she said.
She voted "yes" on Question 3, she said. Powell wanted more power company options from which to choose, ultimately with the hopes she can pay less on her electricity bills.
Another woman turns out for every election and makes sure her whole family does the same.
"We're not gonna tell you who to vote for, but you have to cast a ballot," said 63-year-old Joyce Mason, born and raised in Las Vegas. "You must vote. It's our right."
Mason is a test center administrator with a private company in Las Vegas. She comes from a large family that's based in Las Vegas, she said. She has two sons and three grandchildren.
"I'm in my 60s so I have to vote for them to the best of my ability," she said.
Her line wait was about 45 minutes on Tuesday afternoon shorter than previous occasions when she voted later in the evening.
Mason voted for Democrats across her ballot, singling out Dean Heller as someone she wanted out of office.
"Keep Nevada blue," she said.
POLLING PLACE UPDATE: live from Henderson
Reporting live from the Galleria at Sunset mall in Henderson, Aaron Drawhorn looks at the long line to vote. One voter tells the Review-Journal he wanted to vote on Election Day so he could hear everything said during the campaign before making his decision.
Judge blocks registrar from removing observers at polls
A Clark County District Court judge issued a temporary restraining order on Tuesday to prevent the county registrar of voters from removing party observers from voting locations when the polls close at 7 p.m.
Attorney Erven T. Nelson filed the seven-page lawsuit Monday afternoon on behalf of the Nevada Republican Party, alleging that registrar Joe Gloria violated the state's "express statutory requirement that members of the general public be allowed to observe the conduct of voting at polling places, particularly the closing of the polling places," according to the complaint.

Getting through equipment malfunctions
Voters at Mirabelli Community Center, near Jones Boulevard and U.S. Highway 95, reported a brief issue with a sign-in machine in the late morning but said it was short-lived.
Henderson resident Anthony Ordanza, 33, said staff members at the poll were upfront about the issue and suggested other polling places nearby for those who didn't want to wait.
"They got up to speed pretty fast," said Ordanza, who estimated he waited about 15 or 20 minutes before casting his ballot.
While keeping the specifics of his ballot to himself, Ordanza said he typically is willing to cross party lines but stuck with one party this time around. He has voted in midterms before, but he said several of his friends hadn't participated in any election prior until now.
"I think it's good for our age group to be out here," he said.
Clark County spokesman Dan Kulin confirmed there was a brief machine issue at the center, adding that it was quickly resolved. He said he hadn't been told of any significant issues at voting places in the valley as of 12:30 p.m.
William Neal, 50, waited about 20 minutes to cast his ballot even with the computer issue. A self-identified "anti-Trump" man, Neal said he voted for both Democrats and Republicans. He hoped for a more balanced government.
"I kind of went both ways, but Dean Heller didn't get my vote. I have no problem saying that," Neal said.
He wished voters would be more willing to identify as Americans rather than a party affiliation.
"I look at the best for our country and then go from there," Neal said.
Louis Gonzales, 48, a sound and lighting engineer from Las Vegas, said the governor's race and the energy questions were important to him.
He voted "yes" on Question 6, which would expand the state's renewable energy usage.
"If it's going to help the Earth, then why not?" Gonzales said.
He expressed concerns that government was more willing to put corporate interests over those of the people.
"That's why I always come and vote," Gonzales said.
Sisolak votes in Las Vegas, Laxalt in Reno
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Steve Sisolak was in line to vote early Tuesday morning at Kenny Guinn Middle School. He was accompanied by his daughters, Ashley and Carley.
Interviewed by reporters before he cast his ballot, he said the record turnout for early voting was "great."

— Erik Verduzco (@Erik_Verduzco) November 6, 2018
"I think more people need to participate in the process. I think it says an awful lot."
As for the importance of Nevada in the midterm elections, he said, "If you know the eyes of the nation are watching us, it's important. I know everyone wants to know what happens in Nevada."
His plans for the day include a Clark County Commission meeting and to keep talking to voters.
Republican candidate Adam Laxalt was accompanied by his wife and three children as he voted in Reno Tuesday morning.

Voters turning out
George Alberdt, who voted at the Andre Agassi Boys & Girls club, said he votes in every election. He stopped by the Agassi polling center at Martin Luther King Boulevard and Washington Avenue to start his day.
He said there are more people turning out to vote because more people are interested in politics today, "probably due to the current administration. Whether you like it or not, (Donald Trump) is out there tweeting every day."
"I think the government is more transparent now. Issues are being raised every day and everyone's got an opinion," Alberdt said.
At the polling center at Downtown Summerlin, Irma Wenzel said it's obvious why she came out to vote today.
"Because I want us to win," later adding, "by 'us' I mean the Republicans."
"Unfortunately I waited until the last day, but I'm glad I did it," Wenzel said.
She said she had no issues voting at the Downtown Summerlin location. She said the staff were friendly and she didn't have to wait in line.
Susan and Leanne Hall brought Leanne's daughter, Kaylee, to the Downtown Summerlin vote center with them.
"I think it's good to teach her the importance of it before she starts voting, so she can make her own decisions."
Kaylee added, "And because I don't have school."
Susan, a public employee, hit the polls Tuesday because "Voting is a privilege and a right."
Leanne, a veteran, said she felt like the effort was a little half-hearted.
"We hope that candidates will do what they say or advertise, because it is advertising, but all we can do is vote," she said.
"It's the only place we can have any kind of say, unless you're a senator or you know one well enough to join the rat race."
"I am a public employee, so some of these things affect me directly on a daily basis," Susan said. "This is the only time I really get to have an opinion."

Woman's Hospital introduces the region's only certified cancer rehabilitation program to help patients heal faster and better: the Survivorship Training and Rehabilitation Program (STAR Program®).
Cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiation and surgery can save lives, but they can also cause side effects like fatigue, weakness, insomnia, memory loss, fear, anxiety and depression that interfere with daily function and well-being. The STAR Program is a nationally recognized cancer survivorship program that helps survivors heal physically and emotionally.
Woman's STAR certification, from the Massachusetts-based Oncology Rehab Partners, included an intensive training program for clinicians, including physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech and swallowing therapists, audiologists, registered dietitians, mental health professionals and others; the team works together with each patient on a personalized rehabilitation plan. Their goals are to increase strength and energy, alleviate pain, improve physical function, achieve emotional balance and boost the immune system.
All of the services integrated in the STAR Program, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and mental health counseling are typically covered by health insurance.


Eldy ngo launched the intergenerational project in 2011 that involved over 20.000 people throughout Italy: students from both secondary and primary schools, teachers, seniors and Public Administrations.
The students lived an experience of voluntary acting as "Eldy facilitators" to teach seniors the ABC of computer: how to send an e-mail, how to surf the Internet, how to use the chat to meet new people and keep in touch with their family, how to videocall their parents, how to manage documents and digital photos.
The project was sponsored by Ministry of Welfare, by several Public Administration throughout Italy and other private sponsors interested in strengthen their social corporate responsibility. Public administration recognized the initiative as a possibility for promoting e-inclusion through ICT and, consequently, enhancing participation of senior Citizens to social life.
The innovative approach of Eldy platform, the yearlong e-inclusion experience, the presence of a wide animated community of 400.000 users and the involvement of volunteers who always give support contributed to the great success of "Young and old network with Eldy" (Young and less young on the net with Eldy) project which registered positive results both in promoting adult digital literacy and solidarity between generations.
The software Eldy, which represented the key element of the project, not only simplified teaching and learning, but also enhanced interaction and solidarity between young and elderly people, in line with the main principles of the European year of Active Ageing and solidarity between generations.
Eldy has a particular version (Eldy-Tutor) for tracking all training activities and to provide the parental control for young kids.

You've surely heard of Record Store Day, which celebrates the vinyl music format and independent music stores that offer it, but what what about Cassette Store Day? This year's Cassette Store Day event, which honors — you guessed it — the cassette, is set for Oct. 13. It's an offshoot of Record Store Day and, as with that event, offers special cassette releases available only in independent record shops.
Jack White's Third Man Records will also take part in Cassette Store Day by reissuing the initial three White Stripes albums — 1999's self-titled debut, 2000's De Stijl and 2001's White Blood Cells — on cassette. All three albums were previously available during last year's Cassette Store Day, and they're being printed once again for this year's event.
Double Double Whammy," Bird Streets' self-titled album, Cold Fronts' "Fantasy DuJour," Chuck Strangers' "Consumers Park," Imaad Wasif's "Great Eastern Sun" and J Dilla's "Motor City" (Vintage Vibez), to name a few.

Hyundai to drive into new $100-mn office that will keep Delhi pollution out
By Ajay Modi | New Delhi | Last Updated at July 07 2018 00:19 IST
The Hyundai office complex on the outskirts of Delhi will be home to about 800 executives from early 2020
Korean carmaker Hyundai, the second-biggest player in the Indian market, will drive into a $100-million (Rs 6.9 billion) corporate office in Gurgaon. The two-acre office complex on the outskirts of Delhi is under construction and will be home to about eight hundred company executives from early 2020.
"It was a dream to have our own corporate office as we complete two decades here in India... We will shift to the new office in January 2020. It is our commitment to the Indian market and to our workforce here. We want Hyundai to be a great place to work," Y K Koo, managing director and chief executive officer at Hyundai Motor India, told Business Standard. The carmaker, which has close to a sixteen per cent share in the domestic market, has been operating from rented premises all this while.
It currently operates from a 60,000-sq ft office in Delhi's Jasola area spread over three floors. The new office will have six floors and four levels of basement parking, with facilities to charge electric vehicles. The ground floor of the complex will have a brand centre displaying the company's product line-up and its heritage, along with its future concepts. The building will have an auditorium with a seating capacity for over 200 people to host events and product launches. A fitness centre and large cafeteria will also be established for the employees.

Special care is being given to air purification and the building will be equipped with a three-stage HEPA (High-efficiency particulate air) air filter system. "Even in December, the air here is so polluted. We want our employees to breathe fresh air," Koo said.
The tender for the construction of this building has been awarded to Hyundai Engineering and Construction, a group company. Koo declined to share details about the money spent on the acquisition of land but it was reported that it was bought at an e-auction from HUDA for Rs 2.05 billion. This means another Rs 5 billion is being spent on building the office complex and facilities.
Gurgaon is home to corporate offices of leading automobile brands operating in the country -- such as Eicher, BMW, Ford, Renault, Nissan, and Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India. Hyundai's sister concern, Kia, which will launch its first vehicle here next year, has also chosen Gurgaon for its India headquarters.

Hyundai entered India in 1996 and launched its first car, the Santro, in the year 1998. Marking its twenty years in India, the company last week launched a campaign to connect with customers of its first products, such as the Santro and Accent. Today, India is the third-biggest market for the carmaker after China and US. Besides holding a clear No 2 position in the domestic market, Hyundai is also the second-biggest car exporter from the country. The company sold 536,241 cars in the domestic market during FY18 and shipped 153,942 units to export destinations.

Details on exposure:
GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: Animals were exposed to the test atmosphere in noe-only exposure units, each unit consisted of a cylindrical column, surrounded by a transparent cylinder. The column consisted of a top assembly with the inlet of the test atmosphere, one or two rodent tube sections and at the bottom the base assembly with the exhaust port.
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: Each rodent tube section had 20 ports for animal exposure. The animals were secured in plastic animal holders (Battelle), positioned radially through the outer cylinder around the central column (males and females alternated). Several empty ports were used for test atmosphere sampling and measurement of temperature and relative humidity. The extra remaining ports were closed. Only the nose of the rats protruded into the interior of the column. Animals were rotated on a weekly basis in such a way that at the end of the exposure period, the animals were at about the initial location again. The units were illuminated externally by normal laboratory TL-lighting.
- Source and rate of air: The test atmosphere for each exposure level was generated by passing humidified air for each exposure unit through glass evaporators. The test material was pumped as a liquid in the evaporators using syringe pumps. The air streams measured by rotameters were directed to the exposure units. At the bottom of the units the test atmospheres were exhausted. The rotameters and the syringe pumps were read out and recorded at regular intervals (approximately bi-hourly, i.e. 3 times a day). The rotameters were calibrated at 3 settings in triplicate.
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: 22 ± 3 °C, 30-70% relative humidity
TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: The concentration of n-dibutylether in the test atmosphere was measured by infrared analysis at 3.4 µm. The response of the analyser was recorded by an analogue recorder. Also, the concentration of n-dibutylether in the test atmospheres was measured by total carbon analysis for the low and mid concentration test atmospheres, the response was recorded by an analogue recorder.
Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
The mean concentrations were 151 ± 3, 497 ± 3 and 1497 ± 3 mg n-dibutylether/m3

Doses / concentrations
Doses / Concentrations:
150, 500 and 1500 mg/m³ (actual concentration)
other: mean actual concentrations were 151 ± 3, 497 ± 3 and 1497 ± 3 mg n-dibutylether/m3, mean nominal concentrations were 179, 538 and 1553 mg/m3
5 males + 5 females/test group and 5 males + 5 females - control and 1500 mg/m3 reversal group
yes, sham-exposed
- Dose selection rationale: based on the results of the range finding study with exposure concentrations of 0, 1000, 3000 and 10000 mg/m3 (reduced to 6500 mg/m3 since ataxia was observed in the exposed males after first exposure to 10000 mg/m3 of n-dibutylether)
- Rationale for animal assignment: computer randomization taking body weights into account
- Post-exposure recovery period in satellite groups: 2 weeks - control and high dose reversal groups
Standard statistical methods were employed
Effect levels
NOAEL
1 500 mg/m³ air
Basis for effect level:
other: based on overall effects
500 mg/m³ air
other: based on body weight reduction noted in the first exposure week at the highest dose of 1500 mg/m3
LOAEL
Observed effects
No substance related effects were seen on reproductive organs. For detailed study description refer to 7.5.2 - KS_Repeated dose 28-days: inhalation_Wacker_2005
There were no concentration-related effects on relative and absolute organ weights of testes, epididymides, ovaries and uterus. Also there were no substance-related macroscopical or histopathological changes in testes, epididymides, prostata, seminal vesicles, coagulating glands, ovaries, uterus, vagina and mammary gland.
Overall, the results of the study, it can be concluded that exposure to concentrations of 150, 500 and 1500 mg of n-dibutylether/m3 concentrations did not result in treatment related effects in male rats and only in limited effects in females exposed to 1500 mg/m3. Exposure to 1500 mg/m3 resulted in a temporary body weight loss in these females during the first exposure week. After this week, including the 14-day recovery period, growth was comparable to the control group. This weight loss can be considered as a temporaray effect and the highest expsoue of 1500 mg/m3 can therefore be considered as the Low observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) for both the sexes. The No observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for male rats can be considered as 1500 mg/m3 and for female rats the mid dose of 500 mg/m3.
The 28 -day inhalation toxicity study was conducted according to OECD TG 412, EC Method B.8 and in accordance with the Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP). Groups of 5 male and 5 female rats were exposed to n-dibutylether at concentrations of 150, 500 and 1500 mg/m3 (based on the results of a 7 -day inhalation toxicity study at concentrations of 1000, 3000 and 10000 mg/m3 (later reduced to 6500 mg/m3 as all animals of 10000 mg/m3 exhibited signs of ataxia). Also, a concurrent control was used in the study along with the control and the 1500 mg/m3 reversal group.
There were no exposure related clinical signs, haematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis and organ weights. In addition treatment realted changes were not evident in gross pathology of all the animals of the main study and the reversal group and no evidence of any treatment related histopathjological changes in any organs. The only exposure related change noted was a decrease in the body weight gain of the high dose group during the first week of exposure, thereafter the weekly body weight gain was comparable to the other groups including control.

I can understand and sympathize with such critique. But I've not seen a deeply probing definitional and critical examination of enterprise education before. So I wrote an article aiming to do just that. Last year it was included as a chapter in a book about enterprise education in the UK that you can find here. Today I posted an open access version of that chapter on this website, you can download it here. It's the same text, except that the pagination doesn't work.
Since I'm an engineer (I guess), I cannot just stay in the critical stance and delve into all that doesn't work. In those situations, I always get an urge to propose solutions to the problematic situation. The solution I propose here is that we add two definitional perspectives to enterprise education, resulting in a situation where we go from Enterprise Education version 1.0 to version 2.0. One of these definitional perspectives was added in the 2000s – entrepreneurial competencies – and reinforced in the 2010s by among others European Commission. The other of the definitional perspectives is of course the perspective I've come to be obsessed by – value creation.
When we add these two perspectives, enterprise education changes both in its means and in its ends. It is no longer solely about seeing opportunities for oneself, but also about learning through creating value for others. And it is no longer economic policy based, but instead it's educational policy based. We then can see enterprise education (the 2.0 version) not for the benefits to society's or individuals' economy, but for the educational benefits it can offer us while our students are still in school. More engaged students learning core curriculum content more deeply. The desired end then becomes better education instead of better economy.
I conclude my article with a question: Have we then been doing the wrong things for the wrong reasons for decades? Well, I come to the slightly unexpected conclusion that it seems we indeed have. But that's in itself been for damn good reasons. Because it allowed us to pivot into a new type of educational philosophy that in fact can offer great benefits to all kinds of education, and for all student ages. Thus, increasing the relevance of enterprise education through a deliberate mission creep. That's not a small feat!
In sum, I'd say it's been a typical entrepreneurial collective process of doing new things, learning, pivoting and repeatedly so by many practitioners and scholars over vast periods of time. If we hadn't started digging many many decades ago, we wouldn't have found gold now. I personally think this is a golden opportunity and time for enterprise education. But many of us will be stuck in enterprise education 1.0 for many years to come. That's how we are, we humans, we just have to accept that. We tend to keep our habits, stick to what we know and be cautious about new ideas. We are truly path dependent. Meanwhile, I've turned to other quests. But I will certainly check in later!

Q: ADFS 2.0 and WebEx We have a brand new deployment going on, where our University has purchased WebEx MeetingPlace. We have the Cisco CallManager component working, but the integration with Single Sign On with ADFS 2.0 has been nothing short of torture. The biggest problem I'm working with is that we use Split-Brain DNS, and our internal domain name versus external domain name is different. Trying to determine what credentials are getting passed back and forth, certificate errors for using the self-signed certificate, etc.
Does anyone have any experience with this, or something similar? Do you have any tips, or watch-out-for-this, etc.? I've not worked with a Federated Authentication system before, and this scenario is very black-box-esque. Sorry, I'm also partially ranting as I'm frustrated.

A: Yes!  I went through this torture a few months ago.  There is a secret (well not really secret, but not easy to find) integration guide that is pretty much step-by-step.  Find it here:   https://support.webex.com/MyAccountWeb/knowledgeBase.do?root=Tools&parent=Knowledge&articleId=WBX63102

There is no specific road to take when searching for birth family. Every person's path is different. From the information I have collected from groups over the years, as well as my own search, I can give you some successful tools.
1. Check to see if your birth state has unsealed pre-adoption birth records.
If you can access your original birth certificate and the names have not been redacted, you are good to go.
2. Apply for your non-identifying information.
It may include a basic physical description and age of your parents. It may also include medical information. You can request this from the adoption agency if one was used or from the Department of Children and Families Post Adoption Unit.
3. Search and register with the mutual consent adoption registries.
I usually recommend Adoption.com, ISRR.org, as well as the state registry for the state in which the adoption was handled. There are many other registries online. The more you use, the better your chances are.
I love Adoptee Central, but there are many adoptee search groups. Also search for a Facebook search group that is specific to your state. These groups not only help you search for family, but also provide advice and support along your journey.
5. Take a DNA test.
The top two companies are AncestryDNA and 23andMe. Both are good tests and have been successful. I prefer AncestryDNA. They have the largest database (over five million users) and the cost is very reasonable. They also run sales on their tests frequently.
Once you have ordered your kit from whichever company you choose, join the Facebook group DNA Newbie. Learn what you can from posts in the group while you wait several weeks for your test to be processed. Once your results are ready, you will get a list of matches based on the amount of DNA you share with other people in the database. There will be a relationship prediction from each one. Anyone predicted as third cousin or closer is promising. You can use your match's public family trees with public records and your non-id info to narrow down to your birth parents. If you need help with your results, you can always ask questions in DNA Newbie or your adoption groups.
6. Upload your raw DNA to this site.
GEDmatch accepts DNA from multiple testing companies, so you may end up with additional matches. The service is absolutely free. Even if you found your family using your original test matches, you should still do this step. You may help others find their families.
If you have used all of these tools and still have not found your family, do not get discouraged. More people are joining registries and testing DNA every day. It's just a matter of time.

Author Topic: Brightburn Review: The Birth of Superhero Horror (Read 50 times)
Behold, I am Death, Destroyer of Worlds
Taylor SalanSunday, May 26, 2019
Superman is perhaps the best-known superhero character, which is why everyone knows his origin. The Man of Steel is often portrayed as a benevolent force or sometimes even a Christ-like figure. He feels obligated to relieve humanity's burdens, even to his own detriment. But what if Superman was evil? More importantly, what if he was selfish? These are the questions that Brightburn grapples with. But the film plays more like a horror story than a traditional superhero tale.
The premise of Brightburn subverts the expectations of Superman's story by twisting the lore in extremely dark and dreary ways. Because of these connections, Brightburn treads some shaky legal ground throughout its briskly told tale. Regardless, it presents a fascinating concept that is far more interesting than even the final film gives itself credit for.
Banking on Banks
image: https://cdn2-www.superherohype.com/assets/uploads/2019/05/brightburn-elizabeth-banks.jpg
While James Gunn's name has been plastered all over the marketing for this film, he's only a producer. David Yarovesky, Gunn's longtime pupil and collaborator, directed Brightburn. Although hardly anyone saw Yarovesky's feature debut, The Hive, his sophomore effort is a memorable introduction. The film presents a sense of unrelenting dread that consistently builds up tension. Perhaps the most impressive element of Yarovesky's direction is his economy in storytelling. Yarovesky's pacing is absolutely unforgiving. Unfortunately, this also means that the film favors plot over exploring the dramatic depth in any given scene. Fortunately, Yarovesky's excellent casting choices mitigated this issue.
Elizabeth Banks' turn in Brightburn is easily the highlight of the movie. In fact, a good deal of the film hinges on her impressive leading performance. Banks gives the film an interesting, flawed, and nuanced character that manages to anchor the story in reality. Similarly, newcomer Jackson A. Dunn is absolutely terrifying as Brandon, the devilishly smart and selfish title character. As a result, Dunn's work is far complex than his age might suggest. Brightburn has a very solid cast up and down the call sheet. However, the writing doesn't allow the actors to fully explore the characters' psychology in a way that would fulfill the premise's ambition.
Brightburn-Out
image: https://cdn2-www.superherohype.com/assets/uploads/2019/05/brightburn-jackson-a-dunn.jpg
The writing in Brightburn largely coasts on its premise. Brian Gunn and his cousin Mark Gunn have managed to craft a compelling story that successfully re-contextualizes the Superman mythos in a deviously clever way. Most importantly, their script doesn't treat the audience like idiots. The screenplay acknowledges what the audience already knows, and because of that, the characters don't feel like complete fools. In a horror film with an immensely familiar story, this is extremely refreshing.
Nevertheless, the character motivations are largely unclear in this movie. This ends up muddling some of its impact, especially when things go haywire in the third act. Brightburn wrestles with concepts of innocence, the corruption of youth, and the unchecked use of godlike power. But the plot largely bypasses these ideas in favor of a surface-level story. There are some satisfying moments, but the screenplay is heavy on plot and light on character.
Jaw-Droppingly Intense
image: https://cdn2-www.superherohype.com/assets/uploads/2019/05/brightburn-image-1.jpg
Brightburn makes strategic, but effective, use of gore and violence. The physical effects are sparingly implemented, which makes the extreme level of violence horrifying at points. The climactic sequence alone is both terrifying and absolutely breathtaking. Michael Dallatorre's cinematography is also impressive. Along with the near-minimal use of color and an editing technique to compliment it, Brightburn's cinematography employs calculated lighting, static framing, and wide-angle zoom lenses to sell the unnerving nature of the story. While the physical gags and cinematography are effective, the jump scares ultimately fall flat.
This is the type of film that could have easily become lackluster by its conclusion. Fortunately, the reverse is true. The ending is more thought-provoking than the entire film before it. It's hard to call Brightburn anything other than a horror movie, simply because it gets under the skin in a way that most superhero stories can't match. Similar territory was explored in Josh Trank's Chronicle. Regardless, Brightburn may very well be the successful beginning of a new subgenre – superhero horror.

Las rocas Clerke (en inglés: Clerke Rocks) están compuestas principalmente por dos grupos de pequeños islotes rocosos que se hallan a 75 km al sudeste del cabo Vahsel de la isla San Pedro, en el archipiélago de las Georgias del Sur. Se extienden por espacio de 8,5 km de este a oeste, separados entre sí por 3 km.

Fueron descubiertas y cartografiadas el 24 de enero de 1775 por la expedición británica del capitán James Cook, quien les dio el nombre Clerke's Isles o Clerke's Rocks por Charles Clerke, el oficial del barco HMS Resolution, que las avistó primero. Las rocas fueron luego avistadas el 29 de diciembre de 1819 por la expedición rusa de Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen. Entre 1926 y 1930 las expediciones Discovery del Reino Unido dieron nombre a varios islotes aledaños.

El primer desembarco en las rocas Clerke fue realizado por el ballenero de Noruega Thorvald C. Hystad en 1928 para recolectar muestras de rocas. Solo se conocen otros tres desembarcos posteriores (uno el 6 de diciembre de 1961), dos de los cuales realizaron estudios biológicos y geológicos, determinando que la estructura geológica es la misma que la del fiordo de Drygalsky en la Isla San Pedro de las Georgias del Sur.

Las rocas Clerke se dividen principalmente en dos grupos:
 El grupo occidental, que comprende 3 islotes y 2 rocas menores:
 Isla Kemp (en inglés Kemp Island), la más grande de las rocas Clerke, está acompañada por una roca menor.
 Isla Bayly (en inglés: Bayly Island), la más al este del grupo occidental, está acompañada por una roca menor.
 Roca Gray (en inglés: Gray Rock), la tercera más grande del grupo occidental;

 El grupo oriental, el cual comprende 4 islotes y 6 rocas menores:
 Islote Llamativo o Roca Notable (en inglés: Nobby Rock), ubicado al sudeste del grupo, es el más meridional.
 El resto del grupo está formado por tres islotes alineados de este a oeste, cada uno acompañado por 2, 3 y 1 rocas menores, respectivamente.

Separadas del grupo oriental se encuentran:
 Rocas Los Mandaderos (en inglés: The Office Boys), pequeño grupo de rocas ubicado al noreste, que alcanza los 82
 Estacas Sparrman (en inglés Sparrman Stacks), pequeño grupo al sudoeste de Los Mandaderos.

Las rocas Clerke forman parte del territorio británico de ultramar de las islas Georgias del Sur y Sandwich del Sur y están bajo control del Reino Unido. Argentina las considera parte integral de su territorio y las incluye en la provincia de Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur, dentro del departamento Islas del Atlántico Sur.

Los islotes se encuentran sólo habitados por cormoranes, pingüinos y otras aves marinas. La mayor altura se encuentra en una roca del grupo occidental, que alcanza los 244

Assembled in Photoshop the frames shot in Glendo. Aligned. Bumped the levels of the totality frame, then shifted the colour a bit.
Canon 40D, 18-55 kit lens at 35, f/5.6, 1/200th of a second, ISO 100, Kendrick solar filter in custom adapter (removed at totality), RAW, daylight white balance, DPP, Ps CS2.
It came out pretty good. That's 29 images. I'm still kinda blown away that it all worked.
I love that I was standing next to your camera as it was doing this - this is too awesome. Want to embiggen the image.
To get the largest size of image, I right-click on it (in Windows) and open in a new window or tab. For *this* image, I scaled it down partly for speed reasons.

Backing up your data, whether it be specific files, whole drives and partitions, or your entire system, is a very important task and should be done regularly — because you never know when that moment will arrive when you lose everything. This is why dotTech has a review on the best free file, drive, and system backup software for Windows. If, however, you aren't happy with the software we list in our review, Paragon Backup & Recovery is another option. Let's see if it is worth your time.
Paragon Backup & Recovery is a file-level and drive-level backup program — it allows you to backup only just specific files, whole drives/partitions, and/or your entire system.
Take note there are three versions of Paragon Backup & Recovery: Free ($0), Compact ($29.95), and Home ($39.95). Free is free for non-commercial use while Home is the one Paragon Backup & Recovery wants to sell you. Although Compact has a price of $29.95, Paragon Software actually doesn't sell Compact — that is their special version of Paragon Backup & Recovery that they giveaway as a freebie in promotions.
Home and Compact can perform file-level and drive-level/image-level backups; Free can do drive-level/image-level backups.
Home, Compact, and Free have multiple different backup methods, including full and differential backups. Home and Compact also support incremental backup.
Can create bootable CD/DVD or bootable USB/flash drives. Home can create Linux-based and WinPE while Compact and Free can create Linux-based.
Home, Compact, and Free can backup to multiple different locations, including locally (on your computer or external media, such as CD/DVD/BD/USB), or remotely (on a network computer or FTP).
Home, Compact, and Free have ability to automate tasks, either using a scheduler (all three have scheduler) or cyclic backup (Home only).
Extremely easy-to-use — has handy step-by-step wizards to guide the user when using a feature.
It goes without saying that you will need to purchase Home to get the most features. Most notably, Home is the only version that has that coveted WinPE bootable CD/DVD/USB and the ability to restore to dissimilar hardware.
Stores backups in proprietary format, meaning you need a Paragon Software program to restore data. It is understandable to use a proprietary format for drive-level/image-level backups because proprietary formats provide the greatest amount of compression, and compress is important for drive-level/image-level backups to save hard drive space. However, it is always preferable to use a non-proprietary format for file-level backups (e.g. storing file-level backups in ZIP or 7z format) and Paragon Backup & Recovery doesn't do that.
I've been a fan of Paragon Software products for years now. Why? Simply because they make terrific programs and Paragon Backup & Recovery is no exception. Indeed, Paragon Backup & Recovery is an excellent program. Sure it isn't perfect but overall it is an awesome program.
That said, the features you have at your disposal depend on if you have the Home, Compact, or Free version. Frankly speaking, I love the Home version and the Compact version is also good but the Free version is a bit meh — other freeware backup programs have more features than Paragon Backup & Recovery Free. So my recommendation is the following.
If you need a backup program to backup your files, data, documents, drives, system, etc. then Paragon Backup & Recovery is well worth checking out… as long as you get the Home version. If you aren't willing to spend $39.95 on Paragon Backup & Recovery Home and you are able to get Paragon Backup & Recovery Compact from a freebie giveaway, Compact is also good but be sure to immediately create your Linux-based bootable media. Why? Because most giveaways won't let you install Compact after the giveaway is over. This means if you ever somehow lose Compact, you won't be able to to reinstall it, and you won't be able to restore your data if you didn't create the Linux-based bootable beforehand. If you won't purchase Home and don't get Compact, then I recommend checking out dotTech's review of best free backup software for Windows instead of going with Paragon Backup & Recovery Free. The software mentioned in our review are free/freeware but they have more features than Paragon Backup & Recovery Free.

70 years ago – Fire soon claims apartment building near Lake Scranton | Local history
By Kathleen J. Larrison	 Last updated Jun 22, 2021
Building destroyed by fire
A soon to be opened two-story apartment building in a development along the Scranton-Pocono Highway was destroyed by fire.
The Oakmont Park residential development fire started at 6:01 am By the time the first Scranton fire department arrived on the scene, the roof had already fallen into the structure.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze at 7:30 a.m. A few firefighters and trucks stayed behind to wet the ruins.
Scranton's Deputy Fire Superintendent Martin Lahey reported the fire started in the building's basement.
Families were due to start moving into one of the apartment buildings in the development on July 1.
109th production of rolls, rolls and cakes
The 109th "Scranton's Own" Infantry had another accomplishment to be proud of: making baked goods.
Colonel Fred R. Evans, the commander of the 109th Infantry, told his kitchen staff that he did not consider a complete meal "without a good dessert like cake or pie". This desire led to the creation of a regimental bakery within the 109th.
The 109th mess supervisors reviewed their teams and found that there were few bakers spread across the 20 units.
They informed Evans of this situation, to which Evans ordered, "Center your best bakers in one place, put the responsibility on the best man, and do the baking and distribution to all businesses." "
Sgt. Walter Hanstien of Prescott Avenue, an experienced baker, has been appointed in charge of the bakery. He chose the sergeant. Edward Preambo and Cpl. Peter Bohn as his assistants.
The bakery operated around the clock in three shifts with two experienced bakers and three apprentices.
The firing took place at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, where the 109th was training with the 28th Division.

T.I. alleges racism led to arrest and more ICYMI news this week
By Mark Gray 1:12pm PDT, May 18, 2018
Rapper T.I. claims racism came into play during his May 16 arrest for alleged assault and public drunkenness. T.I. was arrested and handcuffed at his guard-gated community in Georgia after he and a security worker at his community's guard shack got into a heated argument. T.I. claims the guard was sleeping on the job and wouldn't let him into his community. The rapper insists he never laid a finger on the man during the confrontation and said the guard was "antagonizing" him. Eventually, police were called and T.I. was cuffed and booked into jail. The rapper spoke to The Blast after he was released and said he got locked up because he's an affluent African-American celebrity and police near his home are "white cops in a very white area."

Daddy drama
Talk about ups and downs. Earlier in the week, Meghan Markle's dad, Thomas Markle Sr., dropped a bombshell when he said he wasn't going to attend her wedding amid a paparazzi scandal (he admitted to collaborating with photographers who shot him prepping for the wedding). He said he didn't want to embarrass his daughter and had also suffered a heart attack amid all the stress from the scandal as well as his older kids' public attacks on Meghan. Somewhere along the way, Meghan apparently texted her dad and said she wasn't mad about the paparazzi scandal and was concerned about his health. Then on May 15, Thomas decided that he wanted to attend the wedding after all. "I hate the idea of missing one of the greatest moments in history and walking my daughter down the aisle," he told TMZ. "Of course I'd walk her down the aisle. This is a historic moment. I'd like to be a part of history." A few hours later though, he said he couldn't attend the wedding because of a scheduled heart surgery, which repaired damage caused by his recent heart attack. Finally, on May 17, Meghan confirmed in a statement that her father would not be attending the wedding. The next day, the palace announced that father-in-law Prince Charles would do the honors.

John retweeted the message. Little else is known about the birth. Chrissy was more than happy to finally welcome her son. Just a few hours before the birth, she tweeted, "Happy pregnant Chrissy is gone. meet OVER IT Chrissy. Wanna hold my boy let's do thisssssss." The little guy joins big sister Luna Stephens, 2.

Taraji P. Henson announced on Instagram on May 14 that she is engaged to boyfriend Kelvin Hayden. "I said yes y'all!!!," she captioned a snap of her brilliant new diamond ring. The proposal was well-done. "He started with the Cartier love bracelet BUT that was my #Mothersday gift and then he dropped to his knee and I almost passed out!!!" she told fans. Taraji kept her romance with Kelvin, a former NFL player, under wraps for two years before confirming it in late 2017. She told "Entertainment Tonight" that she's already overwhelmed by wedding planning. "People are hitting me up," she said. "It's starting to get overwhelming and we're thinking, we're talking a year from now, and I know how fast that's going to go, so it's a lot. I'm trying to just enjoy being blissfully engaged for a minute."
Shocking admission
When Willow Smith was just 9 years old, she released the song "Whip My Hair," which caught on and was a huge success. In her life, though, she was in a dark place and she was cutting herself. The now-17-year-old made the stunning admission to mother Jada Pinkett Smith on the actress's new "Red Table Talk" Facebook chat show on May 14. Willow said after the success wore off and her tour was over, "it was like a kind of lull. I was just listening to a lot of dark music. It was just so crazy and I was plunged into this black hole, and I was cutting myself." Willow told her shocked mother she was cutting herself on her wrists. "I never talk about it because it was such a short, weird point in my life," she said. "I honestly felt like I was experiencing so much emotional pain, but my physical circumstances weren't reflecting that. One night I was like, this is actually psychotic and after that I just stopped."
Baby boy!
Alec Baldwin and wife Hilaria welcomed a son — their fourth child together — this week. The couple announced the news on Instagram on May 17 while sharing an image of Hilaria cradling the newborn as Alec lovingly looks on. "He's here! He's perfect! 8lbs 2oz 💛 #wegotthis2018," she captioned the photo. Alec shared the same photo, writing, "Here we go again! #BaldwinitosEverywhere."
Pregnancy speculation
There is mounting speculation that Diane Kruger and her boyfriend, "The Walking Dead" star Norman Reedus, are expecting a child. According to Page Six, insiders at the Cannes Film Festival have noticed that the actress has been wearing large, billowing dresses "to obscure the good news," as one source put it. Further, she's been abstaining from alcohol and only sipping water at events, the May 15 report claimed. Diane also wore a billowing dress at the Met Gala in early May.
Rapper Mac Miller was arrested early on May 17 for driving under the influence after he allegedly crashed his car and fled the scene. According to TMZ, Mac and two of his passengers left the accident scene on foot. After cops arrived, they ran the plates of the stranded and damaged car and it led them to Mac's house. Mac allegedly confessed to drunk driving and fleeing the scene, TMZ reported. He was released from jail on the afternoon of May 17. Mac's recent ex-girlfriend, Ariana Grande, tweeted, "Pls take care of yourself."
Reconstruction surgery
Shannen Doherty has undergone breast reconstruction surgery. The "Beverly Hills, 90201" alum revealed the news on Mother's Day, sharing an image of herself in the hospital. Her mother is seen comforting her in the picture. "Happy Mother's Day mom. I only bring you to the best places…..hospital food..yum," she wrote. "I love you. Thank you for always being there. I'd write more but pain pills are kicking in. @themamarosa #reconstruction." The surgery comes two years after the actress had a mastectomy. In 2015, Shannen revealed that she had breast cancer.
Hard pass
Meek Mill gave the President of the United States a stiff arm on May 18. Meek was supposed to meet with Donald Trump to participate in a discussion about prison reform. The meeting began getting negative attention. "I was originally scheduled to be part of a panel on Prison Reform at the White House to help shed light on the issues within the system," Mill said in a statement. "Unfortunately, the focus turned to the President and myself which concerned me that it might take away from creating a positive result from today's discussions. As a result, I decided not to attend, so that the focus would be solely on fixing our prison system. Most importantly, I remain fully committed to improving our criminal justice system." TMZ said Jay-Z called Meek the night before the White House visit and urged him to pull out, saying a meeting with Trump would be problematic for his image and for the cause.

Final reminder for passengers to check before they travel over Christmas and New Year
Passengers whose journeys could be affected by improvement works are being urged to plan ahead and check before travelling
Clare Kelly
Network Rail says passengers will benefit from a better, more reliable railway in 2020 thanks to upgrade and maintenance work taking place this Christmas and New Year.
The work in the North West and Central region - which runs from Euston and Marylebone in London to Scotland via the West Midlands and North West - has been planned to impact the fewest number of passengers.Most of the Railway Upgrade Plan improvements will happen from the end of service on Christmas Eve until the railway fully reopens on December 27.
Tim Shoveller, managing director of Network Rail's North West and Central region, said: "While people enjoy time with their friends and families over Christmas, thousands of Network Rail staff will be working round-the-clock to maintain and improve the railway to provide passengers with better, more reliable journeys in the New Year.
"I know there is never a good time to disrupt journeys while we carry out large pieces of work but whenever possible we do this at times when there are significantly fewer people travelling by train, such as Christmas and other bank holidays. I appreciate people have important plans so I urge them to please plan ahead and check before they travel for the latest journey information."
Major projects on the North West, Central and West Coast Mainline South routes between December 24 and December 27 includes railway drainage improvements between Preston and Lancaster.
While there are no trains on Christmas Day, some services do run on Boxing Day.
In the North West, track will also be replaced.
Passengers whose journeys could be affected are being urged to plan ahead and check before they travel at www.nationalrail.co.uk or with their train operator.
'Radical overhaul' of railways is needed, says report as fares set to rise again
This is when road work in Lostock Hall's Coote Lane will be carried out next month

TheFamily
Among the Rothschild family, an interest in the natural world has perhaps been most clearly manifested among the descendants of Natty, 1st Lord Rothschild (1840-1915). The collection of taxonomic specimens of his elder son, Lionel Walter (1868-1937) was the largest ever assembled by one individual.
It formed the raw material for the publication of over 800 scientific papers and the description of several hundred previously unknown species, much of itin his own periodical 'Novitates Zoologicae', published for 45 years. Walter's Zoological Museum at Tring (now administered by the Natural History Museum) survives as a legacy of this remarkable collection.
Walter's younger brother, Charles (1877-1923) was a keen entomologist and lepidopterist. Among his achievements was the publication of a paper identifying the flea responsible for the spread of plague. This interest in parasites was passed on to his daughter, the late Dame Miriam Rothschild (1908-2005), who catalogued her father's collection of 10,000 fleas, given to the Natural History Museum in 1913, and became a leading authority in the field of bird parasites. Her work with Theresa Clay, 'Fleas, Flukes and Cuckoos', published in 1952, became a seminal text. Among her discoveries was the mechanism by which fleas jump.
Miriam's brother, Victor, 3rd Lord Rothschild (1910-1990) became a specialist in the scientific study of fertilization in plants and animals. Between 1938 and 1956, he published extensively on the subject, culminating in his book, 'Fertilization' (1956).
Maurice Edmond Charles de Rothschild (1881-1957) was the second son of Edmond de Rothschild and was born at Boulogne-sur-Seine on 19 May 1881. He followed his father into membership of the Academy of Fine Arts, in recognition of his collecting tastes which he had honed during a short spell as a picture dealer. Together with Henri Neuville, Maurice organised a zoological expedition to Africa 1910-1911 and wrote scientific papers.

Highland wind farm plan axed after 2 year fight
Credit: By ALISTAIR MUNRO | Published on Friday 22 March 2013 | www.scotsman.com ~~
Ben Wyvis anti-windfarm campaigners are celebrating after developers caved in to pressure and dropped highly controversial plans for 17 turbines to be built on the slopes of an iconic Highland mountain.
The "victory for common sense and local democracy" follows a two year fight by protesters against the proposal for the Clach Liath wind farm on Ben Wyvis.
Developers Falck Renewables Wind Ltd has announced they will not appeal the decision last month by Highland Council to refuse planning permission.
The contentious plan for 17 devices all 416ft high had attracted a massive 254 objections.
These included from high profile campaigners such as politicians Charles Kennedy MP and David Thompson MSP, the Earl of Cromarty, who is chief of the clan Mackenzie, broadcaster and mountaineer Cameron McNeish, and the Mountaineering Council of Scotland (McoS), which has 11,000 members.
David Gibson, MCoS chief officer, said Clach Liath would have "industrialised" the slopes of Ben Wyvis, which can be seen from miles around and has spectacular views of the Highlands.
He added: "The news represents a victory for common sense, local democracy and the recognition that Scotland's wonderful mountain landscapes should not be treated as an asset which can be milked for huge profits by multinational companies and landowners.
"It's also a tribute to the many that have campaigned for this proposal to be scrapped.
"We hope that the principles which guided local councillors to reach this decision will be followed by Fergus Ewing, who as minister will have personal responsibility for making decisions on a large number of section 36 wind farm applications in the planning pipeline.
"Many of these proposed developments would, if allowed to proceed, ruin much of Scotland's iconic highland landscape forever.
"We have been asking the Scottish Government to implement measures to safeguard Scotland's mountains from such developments through the implementation of a national spatial planning policy for onshore wind farms.
"Unless protective measures are put in place, there will be more proposals like Clach Liath, which will threaten the landscape, cause local authorities to spend time and money on speculative planning applications, and threaten the livelihoods of tourism businesses in fragile rural areas.
"It's time for the Scottish Government to show leadership now and protect Scotland's finest natural asset – its landscape."
Highland Council refused permission because of the "significant detrimental visual effects" to the Ben Wyvis Special Landscape Area and the mountain massive.
Charles Williams, director or development for Falck Renewables, said: "We initially pursued this site as an appropriate location for a windfarm because it lay outside the designated Special Landscape Area and was not located on areas which have special environmental protection, namely the SAC and SPA on Ben Wyvis for habitats and for birds.
"The site was more than two kilometres away from homes and fell within Highland Council's proposed search area for wind farms.
"Having reviewed the decision by the council and taken account of the views of the statutory consultees including the local communities we have decided not to pursue an appeal."
Dave Thompson, SNP MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch, said: "I am very glad that Falck have recognised the considerable opposition to their plans, and decided not to proceed with this development.
"This demonstrates how the planning system works for the community accepting some developments and rejecting others.
"While developments can bring economic benefits, and we have to recognise the importance of renewable energy, this proposed development would have had a severe impact on the community, and an unacceptable visual impact on the stunning views from the North side of the Black Isle."
Bruce Morrison, chairman of Ferintosh Community Council, said: "I respect the developers for their common sense decision.
"The opposition was solid and we would not have welcomed a further expensive and unnecessary battle of views.
"This decision to stop development at Clach Liath establishes a very important precedent. The message to all landowners and developers we would hope is that the Ben Nevis Massif is a no-go area and far too valuable a natural resource to be tampered with."
