City of Alexandria Water Tank | Meyer, Meyer, LaCroix & Hixson, Inc.
When the City of Alexandria decided their 70+ year old, one million gallon welded steel water tank needed to be repaired and painted, MML&H was selected for the project. MML&H engineer Heath McGuffee (pictured with the tank) inspected the tank and determined that the deterioration of the tank was more severe than originally believed. MML&H prepared a 20-year life-cycle cost analysis to compare various options for repairing and/or replacing the existing tank. Based on the analysis, it was soon realized that it would be more cost effective for the City of Alexandria to demolish the current welded steel tank and rebuild a new prestressed concrete tank in its place.
The prestressed concrete tank was selected over other alternatives because of its relatively long life and fewer maintenance requirements compared to a welded steel tank. Depending on market and site conditions, prestressed concrete tanks are also more cost effective than bolted steel tanks in larger sizes, generally starting at one million gallons. Prestressed concrete is engineered with single-wire prestressing to assure a permanent cylindrical compression in the tank wall, therefore the walls and floors are not required to be as thick as traditional concrete tanks. The majority of the floor for this one million-gallon tank is only 4 inches thick. The new tank was built by Precon Corporation on the same footprint as the previous tank. Although prestressed concrete tanks do not require coating, the City of Alexandria opted to paint their new tank with their City logo for aesthetics. Meyer, Meyer, LaCroix & Hixson, Inc. (MML&H) has also designed prestressed concrete tanks for other clients including the City of Winnsboro, the Town of Delhi, the Buckeye Water District, and the City of Oakdale.


Today, people are hanging out a lot on the internet, seeking for some entertainment, learning new things or shopping. They do this on all the devices that have access to the internet, but mainly on mobile phones and desktop computers. Data is constantly flowing and the faster it flows, the better. People hate it when a picture doesn't show up or a video keeps buffering and it's usually related to low bandwidth.
If you want to set up your own website and provide quality content, you definitely need a reliable VPS hosting company with a bandwidth that satisfies your visitors. This is the first thing that bloggers, online shops and companies should look for before establishing their website. There is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth, it's just that the web hosting provider didn't quite specify how much bandwidth you get.
By unlimited, they mean that the bandwidth they provide will most likely meet your expectations because you won't even reach the upper limit. The differences between VPS hosting providers can be significant and you should know the main requirements for your website to run smoothly before picking one.
To make things simpler for you, we are going to guide you through the different types of VPS and the reasons why you should choose an unlimited VPS. Then, you can use that knowledge to choose one of the 3 VPS hosting providers we reviewed, with a bandwidth that mostly fits your business.
How to Choose a VPS?
You don't need to deal with server management as a shared hosting user, but when it comes to VPS hosting plans, it's a completely different story. A VPS plan grants you full control, so you need to be experienced in performing maintenances, keeping track of the performance, and software updates.
As a beginner or someone who is too busy to deal with server management, you only have one choice. You need to opt for a managed VPS plan which more and more providers offer today. For a bigger price, you will get the VPS plan and a reliable expert who will take care of all the tasks. You don't need to be a professional anymore if you want to upgrade to a VPS.
The reputation of each company and the prices of their web hosting plans will both play a huge role in deciding which one you choose for VPS hosting. Depending on the specifications and features provided by the wide range of different VPS plans, the prices can greatly vary.
But since there is a huge competition between the big names in the web hosting industry, we will tell you how much a VPS hosting package costs on average. If we consider a VPS hosting plan with medium hardware specs and maybe a few extras that most websites can rely on, it will cost from $8 to $15 per month. For this price range, you can usually get 20GB of disk space and 1GB RAM.
Many providers are promoting their cloud-based VPS plans, yet still not everyone knows how they differ from conventional VPS. Let's clarify these two different types by showing where each of them draws its resources from and how they work.
A conventional VPS is when a server is divided into parts – because not everyone needs a whole server for their website, it would be a waste of resources. So by subscribing to a conventional VPS plan, you basically rent a smaller part of a server in the provider's data center. There are numerous VPS accounts within a single server, setting a specific storage, bandwidth and memory limit for each user.
A Cloud-based VPS service is a bit more complicated. In this system, multiple physical servers are sliced into virtual parts that are being connected together. Every single account runs on a cloud server which is connected to multiple physical servers and uses their resources.
Since there are more servers present in the equation – not just one server limiting the resources – a Cloud-based VPS can provide much more resources than a conventional one. If you want more resources, you can upgrade instantly while your website won't suffer any downtime.
Let's suppose you have found the VPS hosting plan with the perfect resources and features. It might seem like an outstanding deal, but there is still one thing you shouldn't forget: to ensure that the company provides reliable customer support. There is nothing worse than running into a problem you can't fix and there is no one to contact.
You need to choose a provider with a positive feedback on their technical support. It needs to be a team of professionals that are available 24/7 through multiple different channels. If your website doesn't run properly for a significant amount of time, your traffic might start to decline.
Businesses can lose thousands of dollars in such occasions. You can also try out a hosting provider and test their technical support since plenty of them offer a money-back guarantee if their customers are not satisfied.
First of all, what is bandwidth exactly? The network bandwidth of your website is what specifies the amount of data that can be uploaded and downloaded on your website over time. By choosing an unlimited bandwidth VPS plan, your website will be able to handle huge amounts of traffic with a lot of visitors downloading your web pages and files at the same time.
If your website runs into a bandwidth limit thanks to a traffic spike, it means that no more people can visit your site at the moment. It won't load up and your website can even crash. On the other hand, it's expensive to upgrade to a more powerful VPS plan whenever your business grows. It not only costs more than the previous one, but some of the other specifics might even exceed your requirements.
With that being said, it's essential to subscribe to an unlimited VPS hosting plan for growing businesses. At some point, there will always be an overflow of customers who can't visit your website because of your bandwidth limitations, leading to a huge decline of potential customers and revenue.
Limited bandwidth sometimes means low performance as well if there is a high amount of traffic. You need to lower the quality of content such as imagery, design elements or videos on your website in order to compress it.
The less data your visitors need to download, the faster the website and more of them can join at the same time. However, by choosing the unlimited bandwidth VPS option, there is no reason to worry about it.
Below you can find an overview of top 3 VPS hosting providers who offer unlimited bandwidth.
BlueHost is one of the biggest names when it comes to Linux hosting services. Their Linux VPS plans are available since 2013 and gained lots of positive feedback throughout the years. At BlueHost, you can only find hosting packages that are based on the latest cloud technologies such as KVM and OpenStack.
Since all their plans are full-featured and affordable, they are the favorite choice of all kinds of businesses. BlueHost knows that your website needs to be up and running as quick as possible, so they set up your unlimited VPS server at the moment you subscribed. They improved their cPanel admin interface with useful tools for WHM control, server management and CentOS access.
BlueHost only offers fully managed VPS services, which means that they are in charge for server management. Their team takes care of everything such as server updates, uptime and security. On top of that, they are ready to answer any of your technical questions free of charge. No matter which hosting plan you choose, your data will be protected against DDoS attacks and spam.
In case the traffic starts to grow on your website, you can upgrade the specs of your VPS plan and it won't cause any downtime. BlueHost has a powerful customer support team that can help in everything related to server management and Linux. You can contact them at any time through email, live chat and phone as well.
They have three VPS plans available with guaranteed SSD storage for increased power. Their Standard plan costs $19.99 a month with a 30GB storage, 2GB of RAM and an IP address. Then there is the Enhanced plan which is the most recommended plan for $29.99 with the specs of 60GB storage, 4GB RAM and two IP addresses.
The third one for $59.99 upgrades your CPU cores to 4 and grants you 120GB storage, 8GB RAM and 2 IP addresses. With every unlimited VPS plan, you get a single domain and their 30-day money-back guarantee.
GoDaddy is probably the most popular company out there among the domain name registrars, but it also became a huge name as a web hosting provider. They provide high-quality web hosting services, especially when it comes to VPS packages. Now we are going to show you why GoDaddy is one of the greatest providers if you need unlimited bandwidth.
GoDaddy invested a lot in premium hardware, so every website on their servers loads in a blink of an eye. Currently there are 9 data centers available all over the world. Their customer support team is really helpful and they are ready 24/7 to solve your problems and answer questions.
They provide top-notch unlimited VPS hosting plans with prices ranging from $27.99 per month all the way up to $49.99. Even the first one is pretty powerful with its 2GB of RAM and 40GB disk space. This can be scaled up to a whopping 8GB RAM and 240GB storage. You also get a 1-year SSL certificate and 3 dedicated IPs with their VPS plans.
eUKHost started to provide web hosting services back in 2001 and now it has a huge customer base of over 40,000 webmasters and more than 160,000 domains. In the UK, they are among the top providers in the industry with outstanding unlimited VPS plans.
These VPS plans are all full-managed, meaning that eUKHost takes care about updates, configuration, software and application installs and security on the servers. After subscribing to one of their plans, you can choose between a Plesk or cPanel interface as your admin control panel. Once they received your payment, your VPS account will be up and running in the next 3-4 hours on average.
With your unlimited VPS, you also get a helpful customer support team which is available 24/7 via chat, phone and email. At eUKHost, they guarantee to respond to your email in 15-20 minutes. They grant you full administrator access which allows you to apply custom applications to your VPS.
There is no need to instantly buy their unlimited VPS plan, you can also try it for 30 days and then ask for your money back. eUKHost guarantees a 100% uptime and even if a server failure occurs, they take immediate action. Now let's see the prices and specs of their unlimited VPS plans.
They have 4 different VPS plans. The Starter plan costs £12.99 per month with 2 CPU cores, 3GB RAM and 60GB storage. Their best-selling plan is the Standard VPS with 4 CPU cores, 6GB RAM, 120GB storage and a free domain SSL for £19.99 monthly. The most powerful plan is the Enterprise with 6 CPU cores, 16GB RAM, 480GB disk space and Domain Wildcard SSL for £33.99 per month.
You get 2 free dedicated IPs with every plan. All four plans are based on high-end hardware, including the latest Intel Xeon processors, SSD drives and DDR4 memory.
Now that you know more about three of the biggest VPS web hosting providers, it should be easier to choose one that mostly suits your business. If you want a more powerful solution but your company is not ready for a cloud-based plan or a dedicated server, then you can't go wrong with an unlimited VPS plan.
VPS is very similar to a dedicated server with its flexibility, yet it doesn't require such a big budget. On the other hand, shared hosting plans are great for starters. But as your business starts to grow, you can quickly reach the upper limits and find yourself in the need to upgrade to a web hosting plan with more resources. Since an unlimited VPS hosting plan can handle a lot of traffic for a long time, it is the most popular choice for the majority of users.
While searching for the perfect VPS provider, the first thing you should look at are the performance features. Then it is recommended to take a look at the HDD, bandwidth, CPU and RAM provided by both the dedicated and the VPS plans so that you can make a comparison and decide which one is better for your goal.
By choosing an unlimited VPS plan that mostly fits your website, you ensure a seamless browsing experience for your visitors while getting a powerful web hosting service for an affordable price.


Whenever I've offered advice before I've usually been downvoted but I left a comment on another post yesterday that was received quite well so I thought I'd expand on it here for anyone who might find it helpful.
Firstly, you don't have to be super high level with a ridiculously powerful explosive weapon to be helpful in this event, arguably you can be more helpful without one.
The biggest thing to note about this fight is what you're told in the game, the Imposter is not vulnerable unless the pylons have been activated, but I see so many people either ignoring or not listening to this.
Note: I think I've noticed recently that only two pylons need to be active, I don't know if this has been a couple of glitched events though, so if anyone can confirm either way?
That being said, here are my tips to being the ultimate "support" class in this event.
I personally stash my stimpaks if I'm going for this strategy, keeping them on you is going to allow you to stay alive a little longer but you're going to use a lot of them.
When the Imposter arrives, vulnerable or not, shoot/punch/kick it once, you're tagging it to get the loot when it dies, but if it is not vulnerable you're not going to damage it so don't try to.
Seriously, activate the pylons, this is the only way the Imposter is going to become vulnerable, this is what you're told as the event starts but I see people ignoring them more than I see them being activated.
Once you've activated a pylon, you become a conduit and you're going to start taking energy damage, so any energy resistance perks/armour/aid is going to be helpful.
If nobody has activated the other pylons, go activate them, this strategy arguably works better if you have all 3, you're going to "go down" as you take more energy damage but that's okay.
If the Imposter sees you, it's gonna come for you and one shot you, you'll actually die this way, so run/jump/hop away, get yourself to those sweet pylons.
Here is where my strategy comes in, when you're a conduit for a pylon and you "go down", DO NOT GIVE IN, that pylon stays active until you give in or die, this gives 60 seconds where you're gonna be ignored, if you have all 3 pylons, that's 60 seconds where the Imposter is vulnerable.
There is a perk card that doubles the time you get while "down" but I cannot remember the name of it, I'll try to find it and add a note. If you can get hold of a Scouts' Life 4 magazine, this will double the time you get while "down".
Got a teammate in the event? Even better. While you're down, communicate the time you have left with them and get them to revive you just before your time runs out, run away, go down again, and repeat. This is especially effective if you have all 3 pylons as the Imposter is going to stay vulnerable while ever you don't fully die.
Let the super high levels with the ridiculously high damage explosive weapons take the Imposter out.
Tip the white fedora you're innevitably going to get and walk off in to the Ash Heap, you've done gods work.
The strategy above has been really effective for me, I run around activating pylons, and leave the killing of the Imposter to everyone else, as long as I've hit it, I'm going to get the loot, I'm also not ploughing through my aid and ammo as much since I started doing this.
Edit: If/when you die, just keep repeating the process, you're not likely going to manage this without dying.
Edit 2: It seems the perk card I mentioned above doesn't exist, it was a magazine I was using to get that bonus, Scouts' Life 4, it gives you 100% Longer Bleedout Time.

I have been a Registered Dietitian for over 7 years now and my husband Lee and I just moved back to Houston in June after spending the last 3 years in Aberdeen, Scotland. To keep it short and sweet, job prospects weren't great for me in Aberdeen so I ended up working quite a few odd jobs (oh the stories I could tell…) to help out and make use of my time. Halfway in, I started my own business doing what I love but could only make it work part-time. Now that I'm back, I'm so unbelievably happy to be able to focus 100% on health and nutrition. Having crossfit mixed in is just the cherry on top because I'm a HUGE crossfit/crossfit games nerd (No seriously, I met Annie Thorisdottir and Katrin Davidsdottir at Annie's gym in Iceland and got to meet and chat with Sam Briggs at Europe Regionals about her recovery).
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2011, I completed my Dietetic Internship through the University of Houston and became accredited through the Commission on Dietetic Registration as a Registered Dietitian. This means that I studied for YEARS taking classes purely on metabolism (energy pathways) and medical nutrition therapy and organic chemistry and human anatomy and physiology. Then, during my internship, I had to complete over 1200+ hours of supervised practice under other dietitians in various areas of nutrition- oncology, public health, low-income, athletic performance, and functional medicine/naturopathic medicine. After that, I was eligible to sit for the exam to get my RD credentials.
Since then, I gained clinical, community, corporate and counseling experience through MD Anderson Cancer Center, the Houston Food Bank, Adventures in Wellness-Houston, Wellness Corporate Solutions, Crossfit EaDo and Anytime Fitness. Through my own business in Aberdeen, I had several on-going clients with many different nutritional needs and provided health and athletic performance presentations to Aberdeen University's Sports Program and other local groups. I have experience with varying cancers, diabetes, heart disease, celiac, crohn's, ulcerative colitis, eating disorders, food allergies/sensitivities, and crossfit/endurance athletic performance.
So that's my resume. But why nutrition in the first place? I grew up like most of you being surrounded by magazines pushing skinny beautiful women and the latest diet trends and my mother tried them ALL. One week she was on Atkins, then it was South Beach, then it was the Mediterranean… I wanted to get to the bottom of all these diets, I wanted to understand the research and possess the knowledge to make healthy decisions for myself, and most importantly, I wanted to stop feeling like I was starving myself. My own weight had started fluctuating at that point. I was a freshman in college set to double major in International Business and Spanish and then I did a 180, switched to Nutrition and never looked back.
My nutrition philosophy involves a gradual change in a person's diet. I don't expect people to go from fast food to farmers' markets overnight. I like to focus on small changes people can commit to and over time, create a healthy diet that you also enjoy eating. There's nothing worse than cringing at the food you feel like you have to eat, so I think it's important to find what will work for you and your taste preferences.
What's also important to know about me is that I practice what I preach. I eat lots of veggies, I weigh and measure my breakfast every morning, I log in My Fitness Pal when I need to keep my own weight in check, and exercise via crossfit, running, and yoga, BUT I also allow myself to indulge in some of my favorite (and maybe not so nutritious) foods to create an overall healthy balance. I haven't always eaten the way I do now though; it took effort and willingness to change and that's something I hope to find in my future clients.
If you see me at District H, please feel free to come say hello! I'm easily intimidated being the "new kid" but I would love to get to know more of you!

S1E9 – Familiar faces
Mr Lush opens his eyes and looks up at the ceiling of his suite at the Catoy. His head aches and he feels feverish. He slips into his green velvet house slippers with the large embroidered 'L' and drags himself to the bathroom. In the mirror, he sees the beast he has become: His eyes are glassy and his hair is greasy and dishevelled. While enjoying a long hot shower (after having taken a big sip of the Bloody Mary he so wisely ordered the previous evening to be delivered in the morning) he reflects on the previous evening's events. His female companion had been an absolute riot. It had been a long time since Lush's last attempts at flirting. Initially a little rusty, over time, Lush rekindled a forgotten sense of suavity and the blonde turned her body more and more in his direction. Conversation flipped between moments of superficial amusement and philosophical depth. The fact that Olivier (that poor Samaritan) was picked up by the Rubens cat soon after their introductions made the conversation run more smoothly. Luckily, Elisabeth – such was the name of this blonde apparition – had a small suite one floor above his own. This made the exit at the end of the third act – despite the hangover – more easily manageable.
Freshly showered and having dried himself with the hotel's cashmere-soft towels, he slips into a dove-grey double-breasted suit, ties a burnt orange tie around his neck, and strides down the marble staircase to the breakfast room. By now, his headache has subsided and he playfully skips down the final few stairs. If he had managed to be a bit more of the Playboy he had always wanted to be at Eton, then perhaps these moments of sentimentality could perhaps have been avoided.
The bright light of his good mood quickly begins to flicker. As he takes his seat in the breakfast room, his calm is disturbed by the loud noise of laughter. At a table across from his, two patrons are holding up an all-too familiar letter and laughing. Mr Lush instantly recognises his (now former) cigarette friend and a common acquaintance from their schooldays. In response, he orders poached eggs with bacon and a glass of crémant. Not contained in his order, but present at the table nonetheless is a distinct sense of shame. Once the laughter has subsided, Mr Lush turns to face his accusers. The gentlemen have noticed him and are waving him over. He accepts their invitation and joins them, crémant in hand. He greets the gentlemen with a sweaty handshake, and chooses a chair with an unobstructed path to the emergency exit. As suspected, the gentlemen are not disposed to subtlety and ask with perfidious arrogance whether Lush is serious. They even have the audacity to ask which drug Lush was under the influence of when he had written this nonsense, even going so far as to request a tête-à-tête with his drug dealer. He ignores their questions and sinks deeper and deeper into his chair. Mr Lush has never been much of one for tirades. He has always (much to the annoyance of his still-wife) chosen the path of least resistance and withdrawn into his shell. What would Olivier do now?, he wonders, the laughter still ringing in his ears. Lush feels the site of a malicious pat on the back begin to burn with shame. He takes a final gulp of his crémant and says the following words with precision: I'm sorry to be leaving! I am expecting a pimp. I owe him quite a large sum of money. Having finished speaking (but not without allowing himself a second to enjoy his companions' bafflement), he throws a cigarette into the corner of his mouth and stands up. He walks with the nonchalance and irresistible cool of an American gangster leaving the scene of a crime – Little Green Bag by George Baker playing in his mind – towards the smoking area. Ocelot Olivier, wearing a rather dashing double-breasted blazer, pink cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth, toasts our hero's arrival with a glass of champagne. DC/MM

The old Latin experession, frequently cited by Bill Buckley, has it that "Quod licet Jovi, non licet bovi." Translated literally, it means: "What is permitted to Jupiter is not permitted to oxen." More loosely, I would translate it: "What is allowed a god is not allowed a dog," or something to that effect. The saying may be a recognition of the reality principle or a testament to the permanence of double standards.
In news outside Wisconsin, it was reported earlier this week that the fabulously successful aging hipster Jon Bon Jovi hitched a ride on Air Force one to — where else? — an Obama fundraiser, this one at the Waldorf in New York. Mr. Bon Jovi performed at the fundraiser.
In any event, I think we can say in this case, what is permitted Jovi is permitted someone lesser.

Q: Yeoman copy directory with templating How can I copy multiple files in a whole folder recursively while applying templating ?
I found answers for copying folders without templating, templating individual files but not batch templating.
I currently do :
'use strict';
const Generator = require('yeoman-generator');
module.exports = class extends Generator {
  writing() {
    this.fs.write(
       this.destinationPath('public'),
       ejs.render(this.fs.read(this.templatePath('public')),
       {
         webPageTitle : 'great web application',
       }),
     );
  );
}

where the public directory contains many files including index.html :
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8"/>
    <meta content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" name="viewport"/>
    <title><%= webPageTitle %></title>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

but yeoman throws an error :
Error generator-name
~/Documents/yo-test/generator-name/generators/app/templates/public doesn't exist

I understand yeoman expects a file and not a folder. I do not want to process each file individually. This would be both cumbersome and more difficult to maintain in the long run.
What is the right approach for both copying a complete folder with its subfolders and in the mean time batch templating all its files with yeoman ?

A: The right way I found :
    this.fs.copyTpl(
      this.templatePath('public'),
      this.destinationPath('public'),
      {
        webPageTitle : 'great web application',
      }
    );

that copies the whole public folder and applies the templating substitution wherever possible.
As a result, the index.html is being applied the expected substitution during the recursive batch copy process of the public folder.

Validation et contribution à ĺétude de l'effet antihyperglycémique d'une plante médicinale, le Momordica charantia L.
: A study of the anti-hyperglycaemic effects of the medicinal plant, Momordica charantia L.: Validation and contribution

Momordica charantia (L.) [Cucurbitaceae], more commonly known as the bitter cucumber or bitter melon, is a plant used for food and medicine. In the Ayurvedic tradition it is used to treat a range of disorders, including diabetes. This study has demonstrated the plant's anti-hyperglycaemic effect in mice with alloxan monohydrate induced diabetes. Two extracts were prepared, from both the fresh and the dried fruit of the plant, and their effects on blood sugar levels were compared with the reference anti-diabetes molecule glibenclamide. Aqueous extract of the fresh fruit at a dose of 200 mg/kg demonstrated a significant reduction in glycemia (62%), comparable with that of glibenclamide at a dose of 10 mg/kg. The two extracts at different doses showed no signs of toxicity. Thus, aqueous extract of the edible plant M. charantia would appear to be a viable alternative for reducing glycemia as well as providing an auxiliary and complementary treatment which would limit the secondary effects of allopathic remedies using synthetic drugs.

UK Ticket Holder Lands Incredible £121.3 Million EuroMillions Jackpot
A EuroMillions ticket holder from the UK has become an overnight multi-millionaire after landing an incredible £121.3 million jackpot, becoming the country's third-biggest lottery winner of all time.
The Winning Numbers
The single winning jackpot ticket was bought in the UK for the draw on Tuesday 24th April, matching the main numbers 20, 23, 28, 30 and 44, and Lucky Stars 3 and 7. There were 29,374,416 entries from all nine participating countries, with 2.4 million people collecting a variety of prizes, including a sole Match 5 and 1 Lucky Star UK winner of £199,921.
The two UK Millionaire Maker Codes drawn were JHDT54196 and ZHFD80686, and a full prize breakdown can be found on our Results page. The night belonged to the UK's latest jackpot winner, and although their identity is not yet known, they have 180 days from the draw date to come forward and claim their prize. They've also become the 72nd EuroMillions jackpot winner from the UK.
Why Was The Jackpot So High?
The first EuroMillions Superdraw of the year was held on Friday 20th April, pushing the jackpot up from £22 million to £114 million. That jackpot then rolled over, leading to the astonishing £121.3 million jackpot.
Rollovers from previous Superdraws have led to record jackpot amounts, such as the one on Friday 15th September 2017 that rolled over to reach the €190 million jackpot cap before it was won by a Spanish ticket holder.
However, the jackpot cap wasn't needed this time as the monumental jackpot was claimed in only the second draw after the Superdraw, resulting in a huge night of celebration for the UK-based ticket holder.
What Can The Winner Do Now?
The winning jackpot ticket is valid until Sunday 21st October, so the winner can either come forward straight away to claim their prize or wait a period of time to let it sink in before doing so. When the winner decides the time is right, they must contact National Lottery officials – who have champagne on ice – to begin the process of receiving the £121.3 million. The winner must also decide whether to go public or remain anonymous, as explained on the How to Claim page.
A life of luxury awaits, with the winner now able to afford lavish properties in the Mediterranean, top-of-range cars and designer clothes from some of the world's most expensive brands. However, the UK ticket holder might not yet realise they are actually the jackpot winner, so all players should double-check their tickets carefully and sign their name on the back. It should be kept in a safe, secure place before contact is made with National Lottery officials.
Follow In Their Footsteps
The £121.3 million UK winner is the country's third biggest lottery winner of all time, just behind North Ayshire's Chris and Colin Weir, who landed £161 million in 2011, and Adrian and Gillian Bayford from Suffolk, who won over £148 million in August 2012.
This Friday's EuroMillions jackpot has been reset to £14 million following this sensational win, so if you're feeling inspired by the Weir's, Bayford's and the latest jackpot winner, join a syndicate today ahead of the next draw.

Nepal Earthquake kills over 7000
On 25th April 06:11 (UTC) a shallow (15 km) magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck 34 km (21 miles) ESE of Lamjung in Nepal causing devastation. The earthquake was felt as far away as southern India including Karnataka and Kerala, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Bhutan and south western China including Tibet.
The earthquake was generated by a convergent/diffuse plate boundary where two continental plates (Indian and Eurasian) are colliding to form the Himalayas mountain range. The Indian plate boundary is moving northward and being subducted by the Eurasian plate at a rate of 40-50mm/year. The earthquake was a result of a thrust fault between these two plates and the fault area is an estimated ~120×80 km.
This region is one of the most seismically active regions in the world and experiences numerous earthquakes including a magnitude 8 in 1934 which resulted in 10,600 fatalities.
Satellite images acquired by ESA before and after the earthquake have shown land displacement. According to the data Mount Everest shrank by about an inch and land around Kathmandu was lifted 1 metre.
Hundreds of aftershocks have occurred varying in size after the main earthquake including a magnitude 6.6 located 49km (30 miles) east of Lamjung on 25th April at 6:45 (UTC) and a magnitude 6.7 located 19km (12 miles) SSE of Kodari on 26th April at 07:09 (UTC).
A total 7250 people have been confirmed dead on 3rd May and the number of fatalities keeps rising everyday. The majority of deaths have occurred in Nepal and a further 100 people have been killed in India (78), China/Tibet (25) and Bangladesh (4). In Nepal the worse affected district is Sindhupalchok where 3,360 fatalities have been confirmed. 14,021 people have also been injured including 200 in Bangladesh, 383 in China and 288 in India.
The earthquake triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest which claimed 19 lives at the base camp. Several climbers had to be rescued by helicopters. It has not been confirmed whether the route will reopen or remain closed for climbers since extensive damage has been caused. Another avalanche triggered by the earthquake destroyed the entire village of Langtang leaving 250 people missing.
The earthquake has also triggered several landslides. Landslides have not only damaged buildings and infrastructure but have also caused temporary dams in rivers which could cause floods downstream when they fail. Glacial lakes may also pose a risk due to the effects of the earthquakes and landslides which could have weakened them leading to sudden draining in the future. Further concerns are growing regarding potential fatal landslides which could be triggered during the monsoon next month.
The capital Kathmandu located 77 km (48 miles) from the earthquakes epicentre has been severely impacted. Apart from damage to buildings and infrastructure, Kathmandu Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site has been destroyed along with numerous temples built decades and centuries ago. Dharahara tower built in 1832 has also been destroyed and caused the death of an estimated 180 people.
Numerous villages in the surrounding remote areas have suffered catastrophic devastation; some have been entirely lost by the event.
According to officials 160,786 buildings have collapsed and 143,642 have been damaged. This figure may rise and be confirmed as further damage assessments are carried out over the next few weeks. The Government is projecting that the number of destroyed buildings could total 500,000.
Some reports suggest ¾ of buildings in the country have been left unsafe. In Gorkha and Sindupalchowk, the worse affected districts, estimates suggest 90% of houses have been destroyed and in Dhading, Dolakha, Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts more than 80% of houses have been destroyed. Buildings have also been damaged or destroyed in neighbouring countries such asBiharand Odisha inIndia. According to the Government 1383 schools have also been destroyed or damaged in the 26 districts.
Several villages have not been accessed yet due to landslides, damaged and destroyed infrastructure and lack of communication. It is likely that the number of fatalities and damaged buildings will increase over the next few days as the true scale of the disaster becomes clear.
Search and rescue efforts are now beginning to slow down as the likelihood of finding survivors is very low. Many have been pulled out alive from the rubble days after the earthquake. On 3rd May a 101 year old man was found alive 7 days after the earthquake. Current concerns have now shifted from search and rescue to relief including the provision of aid to the victims.
Thousands are still in need of essentials such as shelter, food and water. Many isolated villages in the mountains have yet to receive any aid. Relief efforts have been further hampered by rain, continuing aftershocks and landslides, damaged and destroyed infrastructure including roads, power outages and lack of communication and coordination. A ban on large planes flying to the airport has posed a challenge for agencies trying to fly aid into the country. Concerns are also growing over the approaching monsoon season which could worsen the conditions.
The United Nations and its Partner organisation have stated in their report released on 3rd May that $415 million is needed for vital humanitarian relief, 3 million people are in need of food aid and 24,000 people are currently living in temporary shelters. An estimated 28 million people have been affected by the earthquake according to the UN.
Aerial images released have shown the shocking destruction caused by the earthquake in Nepal. According to reports the earthquake has caused over £3.3 billion worth of damage and over £6.5 billion will be required for reconstruction. Being one of the poorest countries in the world, Nepal will require assistance to deal with the aftermath and economic cost of the disaster.

The biggest moment of the awards season is a step closer as the 94th Oscar nominations were announced this morning both online and on ABC network.
TROY, Mich. — TROY, Mich. — On Tuesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominees for the 94th Oscar Awards. But besides the major snubs and surprises, the broadcast was extra special for health care workers.
A group of workers at Beaumont Hospital in Troy, Michigan, were given the honor to announce the nominees for one of the coveted categories, achievement in music.
29-year-old physician assistant Chantia Bobo Harden was tapped to read nominees on camera. She feels a health care worker's job is never-ending, and in Michigan, COVID-19 has kept them all on their feet.
"I'm really proud of Michigan for fighting this and standing together to work toward to ending this pandemic," Bobo Harden said.
But when the mother of two got the opportunity to announce the Oscar nominees for achievement in music, Bobo Harden was over the moon.
"I feel so grateful, so humbled and privileged. Like, it's outside of what we do every day," Bobo Harden said.
The thought of going live and being seen by millions around the world was nerve-wracking, to say the least.
"I could feel everyone is getting nervous, but as soon as it comes on, it was like, 'Let's go, we are here,'" Bobo Harden said.
Two weeks ago, Bobo Harden got a call from her cousin, an executive producer in Los Angeles. He asked if she would like to be part of the broadcast, as this year, the vision was to highlight health care workers.
"I was driving and I was, I had to pull my car over and I'm like, 'Interested? Yes! Of course,'" Bobo Harden said.
Even though she didn't get to dress up like a Hollywood star, Bobo Harden said having the opportunity to represent Michigan surrounded by her colleagues made her feel like a local celebrity.
"I honestly, I don't even know if it's settled in," Bobo Harden said.
Meanwhile, Bobo Harden is ready to ditch her scrubs for a red-carpet gown. She secretly hopes to be invited to announce the winner of the category on March 27, when the Oscars take place in Los Angeles.

The ex-footballer used the term "handbags" during the game in Lincoln City on Tuesday
Fans were outraged at the BBC's decision to remove the popular expert

The football expert Steve & # 39; Tommo & # 39; Thompson has been suspended from the BBC for referring to a clash between players as "handbags".
The 65-year-old was fired by the end of the year for using the familiar game day set after listeners complained.
Thompson, who works as a freelance, spoke to BBC Radio Lincolnshire in Lincoln City's 1-0 win in Swindon Town on Tuesday.
The BBC explained its decision to expose Thompson, saying the term "handbags" was not up to their standards.
The football expert Steve & # 39; Tommo & # 39; Thompson (pictured) has been suspended from the BBC for referring to a clash between players as "handbags".
The BBC said, "After audience members raised concerns, Steve admitted that some of his on-air comments were not up to the standards we expected.
"He's taking a break, but will be back in the new year."
But the fans reacted indignantly to the BBC's decision. The reasoning with the familiar phrase did not deserve Thompson's immediate suspension.
Marcus Greatorex told The Sun, "It's just an old term. The BBC should pay more attention to the songs on their channels that promote knife crime and drug use."
Thompson, who works as a freelance, spoke to BBC Radio Lincolnshire in Lincoln City's 1-0 win in Swindon Town on Tuesday
Lincoln fan Bernard O'Mahoney, who campaigned for Thompson's reinstatement, said: "As every football fan knows, 'handbags' are an incredibly well-known saying.
"I can't begin to wonder who would be offended by this. The BBC has lost touch with the public."
"Handbags" is such a common term in sports commentary that it appears in the Collins Dictionary.
It is described as "an incident where people, especially athletes, fight or threaten to fight, but with no real intention to cause harm".
Thompson is a former Lincoln City player and manager and is believed to have been "devastated" by the suspension.
Social media users criticized the move as "extremely pathetic" and argued that the term was harmless.
Darren Dixon said: "The BBC is back with their ridiculous PC levels!"
Another user commented: "I've watched football for decades and heard this phrase several times.
& # 39; It's not offensive in the least. It perfectly describes the histrionics that some footballers display when coordinating with each other. & # 39;
Ofcom research has shown that the BBC lags behind Channel 5, Channel 4 and ITV because of its perceived impartiality. Only 58 percent believe the company's coverage is impartial, down 1 percent from last year. That drop was enough to get to the bottom of the list under Channel 5, whose own number rose from 58 percent to 61 percent
Essie Jay said, "Not offended in the least! That is more than pathetic. We even use the term ourselves when looking at rugby when it gets hot. & # 39;

Jo Brand's "milkshake" comments on R4's Heresy show received MOST complaints – behind BBC coverage of President Trump's state visit and the 2019 general election
In its annual report on the BBC, broadcaster Ofcom revealed that an edition of the comedy show Heresy received the most criticism.
On an episode of the show, which aired on Radio 4 on June 11, 2019, the comic book Jo Brand said the following about milkshakes thrown at politicians –
"I think that's because certain uncomfortable characters come to the fore and are very, very easy to hate, and I guess why bother with a milkshake when you could get some battery acid – that's just me and it's all right, i won't do it it's a pure fantasy but i think milkshakes are pathetic. I do that honestly – sorry & # 39 ;.
The BBC rated 441 complaints received through the BBC First process as extremely offensive and likely violent.
Ofcom then received six complaints that had completed the BBC's complaints process, but concluded that the complaints did not warrant further investigation by the Broadcasting Authority.
It was stated that Brand's comments "had clear potential to offend listeners" but were justified by the "satirical" nature of the program.
"We also took into account that Ms. Brand immediately qualified her comments and made it clear that they should not be taken seriously or followed," the report said. "We have therefore come to the conclusion that the complaints do not warrant further investigation by Ofcom."
The other most criticized programs were:
European Election Results, BBC One, May 26, 2019: 111 complaints that this reporting was biased against the Brexit party;
BBC News / Victoria Derbyshire, BBC Two, June 3, 2019: 97 complaints that coverage of President Trump's visit to the UK was improperly impartial;
Andrew Marr, BBC One, April 14, 2019: 91 complaints about David Lammy comparing Jacob Rees-Mogg and Boris Johnson to Hitler;
BBC News, BBC One, November 23, 2019: 79 complaints that a clip of Boris Johnson answering a question during a question time leaders debate was edited to remove the laughter from the audience.
In all of these cases, unlike Heresy, Ofcom did not receive any complaints that had completed the BBC First process.

Own a British Shorthair, or welcoming one into the family? Here's everything you need to know about your furry friend, from grooming and exercise to common health problems.
The British Shorthair was once known as the British Blue due to the fact that they only came in that colour. These days, the British Shorthair coat comes in a variety of colours and patterns, as well as a long haired breed, the British Longhair.
The British Shorthair cat is an intelligent, affectionate breed with a plush coat, sturdy body and rounded paws and generally loves a lot of attention. Known for being pretty laidback, their dignified demeanour will mean they won't like being carried around and instead will prefer to curl up next to you rather than on your lap.
Did you know the Cheshire cat from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland is based on the British Shorthair?
British Shorthairs are susceptible to hyperthyroidism, which is an over - productive thyroid hormone affecting their metabolism. Although normally seen in older cats, look out for signs of weight loss despite an increased appetite, and panting.
Along with other breeds, the British Shorthair can also be prone to arthritis, an inflammation of the joints which causes discomfort. Although normally seen in older cats, make sure you keep an eye out for any changes in their mobility and seek a vet's opinion if you are concerned.


This vast and spectacular section of the MacDonnell Ranges, located west of Alice Springs, is an outstanding example of an ancient landscape sculptured over time by climatic elements. Cool scenic gorges are important refuges for a collection of plants and animals, many of which are found only here and some are relicts of a bygone era of tropical forests. There are many opportunities for visitors to explore and appreciate the scenic beauty and history of the area. Features of the landscape are significant in the stories of Western Arrernte Aboriginal culture, and have existed for many thousands of years.
A world class bicycle path leads out from Alice Springs through the bush to this Park.
Vehicle access to West MacDonnell National Park from Alice Springs is via Larapinta Drive and Namatjira Drive. From the direction of Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park, the unsealed Mereenie Loop Road (4WD recommended) connects Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon) with West MacDonnell National Park. Simpsons Gap is also accessible via a 17km sealed bicycle track beginning opposite Flynn's Grave, 7km from Alice Springs along Larapinta Drive.
The Park is accessible all year round. The cooler months, from April to October, are the most pleasant. All roads can be impassable for short periods after heavy rain.
There are numerous sites for camping, picnicking, barbecueing, swimming, cycling, and bushwalking.
The facilities available within this Park include toilets, picnic areas, camp grounds, gas and wood barbecues, drinking water, lookouts, a Ranger station, a visitor centre, habitat displays, information, a medical clinic, fuel, meals, drinks and commercial accommodation and caravan sites.
Visitors intending to undertake extended walks along the Larapinta Trail are advised to use the Walker Registration Scheme, by phoning 1300 650 730, prior to departure.
Ellery Creek Big-Hole and Redbank Gorge provide basic facilities for camping. Serpentine Chalet and 2-Mile (4WD only) provide camping sites with no facilities. Ormiston Gorge has camping facilities including showers and toilets. Commercial facilities are available at Glen Helen Resort, including caravan sites and motel accommodation. Camping fees apply and are payable at each camping area. Fireplaces are provided at most sites, however at some sites free gas barbecues have been installed to replace open fireplaces. At Serpentine Gorge all fires are prohibited in this special zone.
Sections of the Larapinta Trail travel through the Park and offer extended and overnight bushwalks.
The Park offers a number of permanent water holes ideal for swimming during summer. The larger water holes include Ellery Creek Big-Hole, Ormiston Gorge, Redback Gorge and Glen Helen Gorge. Swimmers should be aware that most swimming holes are extremely cold. Prolonged exposure, even during summer, can result in hypothermia. Beware of submerged logs and rocks.
A good way to experience the spectacular views in this Park is by walking. There are numerous marked tracks ranging from leisurely to adventurous. Information about the natural and cultural environment of the Northern Territory is available at each site.
110km west of Alice Springs is the Ochre Pits, a colourful outcrop of ochre on the banks of a sandy creek.
Ochre has always been an important part of Aboriginal culture and a vital part of everyday life. For medicinal purposes red ochre can be mixed with grease and applied as an ointment and to relieve decongestion when mixed with eucalyptus leaves. White ochre was used as a magical charm, when mixed with water and blown from the mouth it is believed to abate the heat of the sun or the force of the wind. Weapons were painted with ochre to increase the success of hunting. It also protected the wooden weapons from termites.
Rungutjirpa, the Arrernte Aboriginal name for Simpsons Gap, was the mythological home of a group of giant goanna ancestors.
The Aboriginal name for Ellery Bighole is Udepata, and the permanent water made it a special meeting place for the Arrernte people on the fish and honey ant dreaming trails.
Serpentine Gorge is the site of the Carpet Snake Dreaming and some of the areas in the Gorge and western cliffs have special significance to the Traditional Western Arrernte custodians.
This region is a stronghold for rare and threatened plants. An outstanding 40 rare and relict species are known from the area including the easily seen MacDonnell Ranges Cycad (Macrozamia macdonnelli), found along the Rungutjirpa Range and on the north side of the Park.
Some other rare and unlikely plants found in this area include the Maiden Hair Fern (Adiantum capillus-veniris), Skeleton Fork Fern (Psilotum nudum), the Mountain Hakea (Hakea grammatophylla) and the Glory of the Centre Wedding Bush (Ricinocarpas gloria-medii).
The Park is also a great place for wildlife, including the uncommon bird species such as the Peregrine Falcon, Dusky Grasswren and Rufous-crowned Emu-Wren.
The River Red Gum can be found in several places within the Park, including Ellery Big Hole. These trees are an important habitat for a variety of birds, bats and other animals which live in the tree's hollows. Ringneck Parrots and Butcherbirds can be found in the upper branches of these trees, while Zebra Finches, honeyeaters and pigeons can be seen at the waterholes with Grey Teals and grebes.

The leaden skies over Haworth could not have been more atmospheric as they set to work yesterday dusting off the first editions of Emily Brontë at the beginning of her bicentenary year.
The museum which now occupies the West Riding parsonage that was home to Emily, Charlotte and Anne Brontë, closes each January to allow its collection of some 7,000 of their volumes, including several hundred first editions, to be professionally cleaned.
A task force of 50 has been put to work on the exercise, though the parsonage can only accommodate 10 at a time.
"Each book has to be inspected and cleaned," said Ann Dinsdale, principal curator at the Parsonage Museum.
The parsonage was home to Patrick Brontë, his daughters and son Branwell, from 1820 until his death in 1861. His children all died before him. The house was where the sisters spent most of their lives and wrote the novels that would enshrine the family name.
The Brontë Society, which looks after the parsonage, will celebrate Emily's 200th anniversary in July with a four-day festival organised with the actress and model Lily Cole as "creative partner".
The appointment of Miss Cole, a 30-year-old Cambridge graduate and honorary doctor of letters, received a mixed reaction, with the literary scholar Nick Holland, author of books on the Brontë sisters, resigning from the Society, which, he said, should have given the role to a writer.
But other critics have defended the appointment of Miss Cole, who is making a short film for the museum about Emily Brontë's signature work, Wuthering Heights. The film will also address women's rights in a year that marks the centenary of women getting the vote.


Discussion in 'other anti-virus software' started by Slovak, Nov 4, 2005.
etrust ez antivirus or avast free?
If you want to go feature-wise or support wise, eTrust.
Otherwise, Avast! is better (in detection and updates).
You cant go wrong with either of these two products.
I will have to disagree with Firecat on avast having better detection. I just looked on three av testing sites ( the three big ones) and eTrust detection is very respectable very good in fact. And my Etrust av updates every day sometimes twice daily.
All of the sites that I looked at ran about the same results give or take a little.
I will have to disagree with Firecat on avast having better detection. I just looked on three av testing sites ( the three big ones) and eTrust detection is very respectable very good in fact.
features may mean more to some than others. My self I will go with detection and protection. All of the bells and whistles being added to so many of the av products anymore don't necessarily mean that they work better, in some cases it is just the oposite .
No problems with Avast's detection rates and the modules it has only make it better, when running without firewall, it blocks DCOM and many other exploits, its P2P and IM modules too work nice, also its mail scanning, in fact, the only reason Avast is not popular is because its free and gives all these features, people would rather go by vanity and pay and then suffer from bloat.
with all of those modules it sounds as if avast is working on bloat. But all kidding aside it is best just to run the antivirus program that you are most comfortable with, Be it Nod Kav,Nav Etrust mcafee or what ever. If it is working well for you then you don't need anything better or at least touted to be better. I have honestly tried every antivirus I have ever seen mentioned on this forum and some are really crap but most have multiple good points and if one of those does a competent job on your computer why spend more money to get something that is not going to do any better than the one you have that is doing a respectable job and you are satisfied with. And I don't care how many people tell you that their antivirus is the best, don't buy into it. There really is not a best antivirus there are just antivirus programs that may be stronger in one area or the other. And that is why you should trial several av's to get a feel in the differences and see which is actually the one you feel the best with.
Its still far less bloat than KAV or Norton and it has minimal impact on a system, yes, ultimately it comes down to each his own.
With all due respect , cool it on Norton and KAV . That was not part of the question .
EZ is better than Avast in protection . I do not think there should be any doubt . As for features , BigC is correct in my opinion . EZ Trust has features . Enough to play with . Bottom line is EZ will give more protection than Avast . I do not use either of them now but , have used them in the past per testing . Both will do a good job . See which one you like the best on YOUR system . EZ gives a little better protection but , for a home user , depending on your habits , Avast may be fine for you .
Nope, neither Norton nor KAV was part of the original question, but the word bloat was mentioned and they were used as comparison, guess thats legit to do and therefore no need to defend them either.. As for E Trust being better, well I for one would not agree and neither would I agree to it having more features than Avast, actually Avast has run out of features to put, but as I said, to each his/her own.
Sorry Slovak if I confused you .
I did not say EZ has more features . I would say Avast has more without a doubt . I agreed with BigC and I said that EZ has enough features in itself . I apologize for any confusion .
What AV are you currently running? If you do get a chance, in two weeks try out the new Avast 4.19 which currently with all modules enabled runs at under 15mb.
I might just do that to see how it fares . Are you saying a new updated version is coming in about two weeks ?
Yep, I am running the beta right now, pretty good and very tight mem use.
Is it public beta ? I do not wish to be part of their beat team . Just want to test it out for myself and report on what I find to people that care . Thanks dude .
IMO, for newbies who are safe surfers and do not like tweaking settings; Etrust.
Otherwise, Avast. Detection rates of the two are also shown here and here.
Overall, Avast would give better protection against zoo malware. Both programs are weak in support for packed files, but Avast is better in archive support.
I disagee here, particularly with support.The Avast forum is superb!
Its public beta, in case you are interested to do some testing, download Avast home, install it, reboot and update VPS, then download hxxp://files.avast.com/files/beta/aswbeta.exe and click on it, this will install the latest beta.
Thanks Arup . Is this the 4.19 ? And , is a newer one on the way ?
This is the version slated to be released in two weeks pending feedback.
I am currently running Avast on all my home computers, and thought the other might be better since it is a pay antivirus, except for getting it free for one year through microsoft.
eTrust is a heck of a lot "lighter"...doesn't bog down PCs as much. Each machine I put Avast on...the next reboot..and all after...are painfully slow. Even the end users complain about that...."Why is my PC so slow now?" I always here.
Funny, apart from Clam, Anti Vir and F-Prot, all other AV will slow down PC, try putting a KAV on a 500MHz Celeron with 64MB RAM, you will see my point, in terms of speed impact among full featured anti virus, Avast is not the only one that slows machine down. eTrust doesn't have many of Avast's modules so I expect it to be faster, but then for speed I will take Anti Vir any day. As I said, Avast's network scanner will protect you from DCOM and Sasser exploits in case your firewall compromises you.
If you feel better and wish to support future Avast dev, you can pay for the pro one, point is, the free version offers everything the pro does except for script blocking and advanced interface, maybe Alwil should now seriously think about removing some features on the Home version to get truly appreciated.
Avast's network scanner will protect you from DCOM and Sasser exploits in case your firewall compromises you.
And just keeping your windows updates up to date, your OS can shrug off most of those DCOM bad guys even without antivirus protection.
try putting a KAV on a 500MHz Celeron with 64MB RAM, you will see my point.
IME, AVP 3.5, KAV 5 and KAV 2006 beta will run quite happily on old machines such as this one. And even KAV 4.5 will if properly tweaked.
Most people who report that KAV is a resource hog have either simply reported other people's experiences, have used the default settings without the necessary tweaks or have installed AVP/KAV on a machine which has not had previously installed AV's completely removed.

In the light of the announcement by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) in their annual energy statement in November, which revealed that electricity costs will rise by 27 per cent by 2020, saving energy should be at the forefront of everyone's minds. If you think that the only preparation needed for a weekend away is packing, locking up the house and giving the neighbour a spare key, then think again. Not only will your bank balance benefit from turning off all your electrical appliances, but also your environmental impact will be reduced. The EST estimates that the amount of carbon dioxide saved by turning off unused gadgets would be equal to taking 660,000 cars off the UK's roads. Many people think that switching appliances to standby or even turning them off means that no energy is being used. However, if you want to ensure minimal wastage, switch appliances off at the wall. Not only will you save energy, it has the added benefit of reducing the risk of fire.
It's difficult to know which appliances are the biggest energy consumers when not in use, so limit the amount of energy that is needlessly used while you are away by following these simple steps. First, make a systematic sweep of the house, switching off all appliances at the wall. In the kitchen, the most obvious targets are the kettle, toaster, coffee machine and microwave. After emptying the fridge and freezer, you can switch off these appliances, too. The oven, dishwasher and washing machine can also be unplugged but may require a little more effort: in most kitchens, these appliances have to be pulled away from the fixtures to reach the plug. In the bedroom, you only really need to consider the side lamps and alarm clock, and in the bathroom unplug the electric toothbrush and shaver.
Depending on how gadget-savvy you are, the living room and study will contain the worst energy offenders. Consider the cable box. Sky has made significant progress towards becoming more energy efficient since 2008 by cutting the total energy consumption of its Sky+HD boxes by 30 per cent and by prompting inactive boxes to go into standby mode during the day as well as overnight. However, cable boxes are notorious for being energy gluttons – a US report by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) found that they operate at near full power when not in use.
TV manufacturers have done a great job at improving energy efficiency over the past five years and a recent report by Sust-it showed that they are on average 60 per cent more efficient today than they used to be. However, many households have increased the number of TVs that they own, installing them in the majority of rooms. As the report pointed out, 'TVs account for around six to eight per cent of the global domestic electricity usage' so it is definitely worth switching them off at the plug. Don't forget to turn off printers, shredders and multimedia devices such as DVD players, VCRs and games consoles. Lastly, if you have an outside burglar prevention light that turns on at a certain time, make sure you turn it off or at least put it on a motion sensor setting to reduce electricity wastage.
Hopefully, seeing the financial impact of these energy-saving measures on return will encourage more people to make these small changes every day. By taking action on an individual scale, we are more likely to meet the government's 2020 carbon emission reduction targets and save the planet in the process.
