Canon: Restory – From the ACT Responsible Awards 2022

In July 2021, Belgium experienced the most destructive floods in its history. The damage caused by the deluge was enormous: over 220.000 houses were destroyed (on a population of 11 million) but also tens of thousands of photos were ruined.
Although these ruined photos do not represent a lot of financial value, their emotional value and the memories linked to these photos are priceless.
Briefing: How could Canon deliver a relevant and valuable contribution in the emotional recovery of the flood-affected area, that aligns with its purpose.
Solution: As it was a tragedy at the heart of what is Canon's core business: photographs, Canon decided to initiate a heartwarming initiative, ReStory. A project designed to restore all flood damaged photos – free of charge.
A call for flood damaged photos was launched within the flood affected area. The call was done via a press release, a documentary, a local outdoor campaign, press ads and flyering in the most affected villages. People could fill in a form at www.restory.photo.
A ReStory-team would then pass by, pick up the damaged photos and return them after 4 to 5 week – free of charge. Tens of thousands of flood damaged photos were entered. The flood damaged photographs are restored to their original state as far as possible (at about 30% are too damaged to be able to restore, meaning that 70% of them CAN be restored!), using a drying and smoothing process, carefully cleaned with cotton swabs and then scanned and digitally processed.
In total, so far, over a thousand pictures have been restored. And returned. Currently, and for the next few months, the restauration will continue to go strong. It's fair to say that the Canon ReStory project truly touched the entire Belgian nation.
All national media covered the initiative, spreading a great deal of praise towards such a heartwarming and generous initiative to help Belgium emotionally recover from the toll taken by the devastating floods.

Georgia pedestrians are at a distinct disadvantage when they encounter negligent drivers. With no structure or safety devices protecting them, they risk severe injuries in an accident. If you or a loved one has been hurt by an inattentive or reckless driver, it is important to have an attorney looking out for your interests and pursuing the full compensation you deserve for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
For more than 25 years, the attorneys at Isenberg & Hewitt, PC, have been standing up for victims of negligence in Atlanta. We will work closely with you to make sure you understand your rights and then pursue a settlement or verdict that provides for your needs now and in the future.
At least 130 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes every year between 1994 and 2011.
Pedestrian fatalities typically account for between 9 and 13 percent of all traffic-related fatalities in Georgia each year.
The highest percentage of traffic fatalities, including those involving pedestrians, occur in Fulton County, DeKalb County and Gwinnett County.
These Georgia-specific facts align with data from across the nation that show how deadly pedestrian accidents can be. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that 47 percent of pedestrian accidents (nationwide) where alcohol was involved resulted in the death of pedestrians.

Safest Compact SUVs
The automobile industry is finally recovering after seeing a 15% decrease in demand during the peak of the pandemic in 2020. And while demand for vehicles is increasing across the board, SUVs – along with crossovers and pickup trucks – are becoming particularly popular, accounting for around 75% of all new vehicle sales in the United States.
There are several reasons for the increased demand for SUVs, but one of the most obvious is their improved safety compared to traditional passenger cars. Their size allows manufacturers to provide a luxurious ride without sacrificing safety features. Here are some of the safest compact SUVs on the market.
One of the best-selling SUVs on the market, the 2022 Toyota RAV4 is also one of the safest compact SUVs. Starting at $26,975, the base model is very affordable, making it a popular choice for families.
Safety features begin on the exterior, with multi-LED headlights and automatic high beams. The exterior mirrors are heated to prevent frosting and include a sensor-driven blind-spot indicator.
The RAV4 really kicks safety into high gear in the interior. Perhaps the most attractive feature is the standard Toyota Safety Sense package, which includes a pre-collision prevention system, a lane departure warning, steering assist, lane-tracing assist, road sign assist, and an industry-leading full-speed range dynamic radar cruise control.
Beyond these features, each RAV4 comes with enhanced vehicle stability control, smart stop technology, brake assist, free emergency roadside assistance via Toyota's Safety Connect system, front and rear side impact beams, and eight airbags. Combined, these features make the 2022 RAV4 one of the safest vehicles on the market.
Starting at $26,700, the 2022 Mazda CX-5 is another top-selling compact SUV that provides excellent safety for drivers and passengers. However, in addition to safety, the CX-5 delivers a level of luxury that is unmatched in its price range.
The interior cabin comes with luxurious materials in an intelligently-designed layout that is more comparable to higher-priced compact SUVs like those made by Audi or Mercedes-Benz than those in the CX-5's price range.
Beyond the superior level of luxury provided by the CX-5, it also offers excellent safety features. Receiving a five-star safety score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the CX-5's safety features are headlined by a comprehensive selection of high-tech driver assistance features.
Called Mazda's i-Activsense, the suite of driver assistance tech is led by advanced smart city brake control, day and night pedestrian detection systems, and traffic jam assist technology. For the price, the CX-5 combines luxury and safety into one of the most attractive overall packages on the market.
The 2022 Subaru Forester received a mid-cycle update, meaning the 2023 model will likely be very similar. This is not a bad thing, particularly from a safety standpoint: the 2022 model Forester received a five-star overall safety rating and was named the winner of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) Top Safety Pick+ award.
The Forester received these honors primarily due to the newly-standard EyeSight® suite of driver assistance and active safety features. The suite includes automatic emergency braking, lane centering, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot monitoring features.
Starting at $25,895, the Forester's price falls in the middle of the spectrum for compact SUVs, but the safety features are more comparable with those included in higher-priced models.
The Honda CR-V builds on the success of the 2022 model in the 2023 version, with many of the changes rooted in the two-motor hybrid system. Both the electric and gasoline motors are powerful and energy efficient, but beyond the motor, the vehicle really shines with its safety features.
Complete with a huge array of driver assistance features, including blind spot alerts, cross-traffic monitoring, parking sensors, and a multi-angle rearview camera, the CR-V simplifies driving and allows you to focus on safety.
Starting at $31,110, the '23 CR-V is an affordable and reliable option for drivers who prioritize safety above all else.
The redesigned 2023 version of the iconic BMW X3, starting at $46,395, is another incredibly safe compact SUV option; the difference is that the X3, with its higher price point, provides extra luxury compared to other models.
Finding a compact SUV that provides luxury, fuel economy, and safety in a fun-to-drive package is rare, but that is exactly what the X3 offers. From a safety standpoint, the X3 has received Top Safety Pick honors and five-star safety ratings in consecutive model years.
The X3 offers a long list of safety features, such as pre-and-post-collision safety systems, blind spot and lane departure warnings, enhanced stability and traction control, emergency braking system assist, and brake drying technology. This makes the X3 an excellent choice for shoppers looking for a luxury compact SUV that doesn't compromise when it comes to safety.
Over time, Volvo has become synonymous with safety, and its 2022 XC60 adds to this reputation. And with a high-quality powertrain, a spacious second row, surplus cargo space, and a luxurious cabin, you won't have to sacrifice comfort either.
The 2022 XC60 received five-star safety ratings from the NHTSA for its frontal crash, side barrier, and side crash tests and good ratings for the rollover test. Its main standard safety feature is Volvo's Pilot Assist, a driver assistance system that interplays with the vehicle's adaptive cruise control feature to make highway driving safer. It also boasts a range of other AI and tech-driven features, like blind spot awareness and lane keeping assist.
Starting at $43,450, the 2022 XC60 falls into a comparable price range with the BMW X3 and other luxury compact SUVs. Among the vehicles in this class, the Volvo XC60 is one of the safest and most luxurious rides available.
Audi is known for its luxurious vehicles, and the 2022 Audi Q5 is no exception. And though Audi is primarily considered a luxury vehicle brand, the Q5 is proof that they don't cut corners on safety to deliver a comfortable ride.
Receiving a five-star crash safety rating for 2022, the Q5 boasts a large variety of attractive safety features, none more important than its newly-standard driver assistance technology suite. With standard assisted braking and forward collision warning on all trim levels, you won't have to pay extra to keep yourself and your passengers safe.
The more expensive trim levels offer some extra perks (including additional safety features), but the safety features included in the standard version alone earn the Q5 a place on this list.
Starting at $43,500, the Q5's price places it among the more expensive members of the compact SUV class, but it is comparable with the MSRP of other luxury compact and subcompact SUV models. If you prioritize safety in your vehicle but don't want to miss out on the bells and whistles of a luxury ride, the Q5 may be the best compact SUV for you.

Phillip Mullaly, an Australian fossil enthusiast and teacher, made the discovery of his life on a beach in Australia.
The shark was about twice the length of a normal great white shark.
"These teeth are of global significance, as they represent one of just three associated groupings of Carcharocles angustidens teeth in the world", Fitzgerald explained. So, they organized two expeditions to excavate the site, where they were able to collect more than 40 shark teeth.
Mullaly donated the teeth to the Melbourne Museum, where they are on display until October 7.
Hardwick has also hosted several TV shows, including Talking Dead , AMC's official aftershow for The Walking Dead . The cable host faced swift backlash after Dykstra published her essay on the blog, Medium .
He contacted Erich Fitzgerald, a paleontologist at the Museums Victoria in Melbourne, which announced the find on Thursday.
So the best news is that the Carcharocles angustidens is not going to kill us, or Jason Statham.
Among the treasure trove of megashark teeth, the team also found prehistoric teeth belonging to a sixgill shark, which is a bottom-feeding scavenger that still swims off the coasts of Australia today. That cartilage does not easily decompose, which is why individual shark tooth fossils are somewhat common.
He explained that nearly all fossils of sharks worldwide were just single teeth, and it was extremely rare to find multiple associated teeth from the same shark. Some belonged to other species of shark, but a shocking number of them belong to the Carcharocles angustidens. This means that the sixgill shark's behavior has not changed much for tens of millions of years.
That's why he's considered the patron saint of chefs, among other professions. That happened for the last time in 1992 and won't happen again until 2126.
No other players on either team demonstrated during the anthem, with the Lions all standing together with locked arms. Attendance and ratings way down".
Eventually, Stones might be deployed as a holding midfielder with City losing out to Chelsea in the race for Jorginho. Thus, the 29-year-old will have a point to prove when he makes his Premier League debut on Sunday.
A Delta-IV heavy rocket carrying the probe took off from Cape Canaveral, Florida at around 07.31 GMT on Sunday morning. It is travelling on board the Delta-IV Heavy rocket, which will hurl the probe into the inner Solar System.
The stock has actually grown in the past week, as the company has gathered a 2.22% return in the past 5 trading days. The net percent change held by Institutional Investors has seen a change of 0.26% over last three month period.
The Portuguese star showed why Wolves are extremely lucky to have kept hold of him for this crucial Premier League season. Silva turned to former-club Watford to make the 21-year-old his first signing in a £40m deal in late July.
Safe to say that this kind of turned out to be true because ever since the Switch launched, there has been no mention of VR since. That said, it wasn't enabled, and Nintendo doesn't appear to have made any additional changes to that section of the codebase.
Of course, I still consider Lionel Messi to be the best, as I even named my son after him. It helps when you see the fans and club like you, the feeling is completely different.


Mount Kailash, the holiest mountain in the world Darchen is the starting and ending point of the Kailash Kora. The well-known Chiu Monastery on Manasarovar Lake.
Climbers leave the last high camp and climb to the summit of Gurla Mandhata.

Charms & beads used: Resin skull & crossbones cameo in antique silver plated brass setting, antique silver plated brass skull & crossbones, pirate flag, anchor, fish, starfish and shell; turquoise howlite and dyed shell tusks, selection of black and turquoise glass and acrylic beads.
The chain is antiqued silver plated, measuring approximately 7.5 inches and finishing with a toggle clasp.

Case Study Service
A General Synopsis of President George Washington
Gen. George Washington: General George Washington was born February 22, 1732 in Westmoreland County, Virginia to Augstine and Mary (Ball) Washington. General Washington first served in the British Army for both of the French and Indian Wars (1752-1758). Then there was a period of several years (27 yrs) between his service in the British Army to his service in the Continental Army during which he met and married his wife Martha Parke Custis (nee Dandridge). Then in 1775 when the call came Gen. Washington answered the call of Congress to serve as a full General in the newly formed Continental Army and to serve as its commander.
When the war was over in 1783 Gen. Washington retired to his estate of Mount Vernon until 1789 when he was elected President by the Electoral College. He passed away due to complications, which are still not entirely certain today, on December 14, 1799. Washington was then and remains now the only President to have been non-partisan for his entire term in office stating, "However political parties may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to such unjust dominion." He also remains the only US President to have won the entirety of the votes of the electoral college.

Kenneth Lay Biography, Life, Interesting Facts
Tyrone, Missouri, United States of America
Kenneth Lee Lay was born 15th April 1942, to Omer and Ruth Lay. He was born in Tyrone, Missouri, in the United States, where his father was a Baptist preacher. The family then moved to California, where Lay studied at David H. Hickman High School, followed by the University of Missouri, where he studied economics. He graduated with his degree in 1964. He achieved his master's degree in 1965.
In 1970, he graduated from the University of Houston with his Ph. D.
During this same period, from 1965 to 1968 Kenneth Lay worked at Humble Oil and Refining as an economist, and in 1968 he enrolled in the Officer Candidate School for the United States Navy. By 1971 he had achieved the rank of Lieutenant. He was Special Assistant to the Navy Comptroller and Financial Analyst at the Office of Assistant Secretary of the Navy in the Department of the Navy in Washington, D.C.
Between 1971 and 1974, he worked first for the Federal Power Commission, and then as the Energy Deputy Under Secretary for the United States Department of Interior.
Lay then returned to the private sector, working for the Florida Gas Transmission as an executive. In 1981 he was appointed President of the Continental Resources Company, and in 1982 he joined Transco Energy Company. He was there until 1984 and held the positions of Chairman, Chief Operating Officer, and Director.
In 1984, Kenneth Lay was appointed Chairman and CEO of the Houston Natural Gas Company. When the industry was deregulated in 1985, the company was bought by InterNorth, based in Omaha, and the name was changed to Enron. From 1993 to 2001, Lay was also on the board of directors of Eli Lilly and Company, and a director of the Texas Commerce Bank.
Lay was politically active and was friends with the Bush family. He was involved as co-chairman of Bush's 1992 re-election committee. He also made significant contributions to both parties from 1989 to 2002.
Bankruptcy for Enron
Between 1998 and 2001, Kenneth Lay liquidated over $300 million in Enron stock. In 2001, Enron filed for bankruptcy. It was the largest bankruptcy in U.S. corporate history. 20,000 employees lost their jobs, and many lost their life savings as well. Billions of dollars were lost by investors. Lay was indicted by a grand jury in Houston, Texas, and was charged with 11 counts of securities fraud, wire fraud, and making false and misleading statements.
Kenneth Lay's trial began on 30th January 2006. He tried to convince the court that his wealth was mostly made up from stocks, and his net worth was in the negative. On 25th May 2006, he was found guilty on six counts of conspiracy and fraud. In a separate bench trial, Judge Lake found Lay guilty of four more counts of fraud and making false statements.
Sentencing was initially scheduled for 11th September 2006 but was changed to 23rd October 2006.
Kenneth Lay's first wife was named Linda, and his second wife was Judith Ayers. He married Ayers in 1982, and he was still with her at the time of his death. Lay had two children and three stepchildren.
Lay died on 5th July 2006. Cause of death was a heart attack.
Subsequent Acquittal
On 17th October 2006, Lay's conviction was overturned. There is a legal doctrine called abatement ab initio, which states the death of a defendant during an appeal vacated the conviction.

Near the main field, across from the St. Andrews Society tent, watch expert weaver Kathy Wells and her helpers as the practice the ancient art of weaving. Learn how the intricate patterns on the Scottish Tartans are created and crafted, a process starting with raw wool and progressing through to the famous Highland Kilts.
Kathy Wells is the creator of the Pittsburgh St. Andrews Society Tartan, now registered in the official Scottish Register of Tartans.
A tartan is a distinctive and unique pattern that proclaims the identity of the bearer; it may relate to family or clan; it may represent a regiment; it may indicate a place of origin, residence or birth; or it may commemorate a specific event. Pittsburgh as a city has never had a designated tartan.
William Pitt's black and gold coat of arms was first transferred to the Pittsburgh city flag in 1816. Since then the three major Pittsburgh sports teams: the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the Pittsburgh Penguins, have all adopted these same colors for their teams. Black and Gold has come to be synonymous with Pittsburgh. Thus Black and Gold are the primary colors for this tartan.
Pittsburgh was named by a Scot (General John Forbes), and keeps its Scottish spelling with the "h". It was developed into "the Steel City" by another Scot (Andrew Carnegie) as reflected by the tartan. The logo of US Steel, now USX, once Carnegie Steel, bears 3 hypocycloids (diamond shapes with concave sides). Each hypocycloid is a different primary color: red, yellow and blue. Originally these colors were said to represent how the steel industry improved life; Red brightens your leisure, yellow lightens your work, and blue widens your world. A later interpretation says they represent the primary ingredients for making steel; red for iron ore, yellow for coal, and blue for steel scrap. These colors, woven into the black and gold, are a tribute to the industry that built Pittsburgh.
Geographically, Pittsburgh is located at the confluence of the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers, which come together at the Point to form the Ohio River. This design has three blue stripes, one of which is on the pivot point, where the design reverses, bringing the blue stripes together as one.
This tartan, designed by local resident Kathy Wells, is being copyrighted and presented to the Pittsburgh authorities, to be registered as the Pittsburgh tartan with tartan authorities in Scotland.
Until relatively recently, it was assumed by most historians, academics and commentators that tartan was a Johnnie-come-lately . . . a modern invention by rapacious 19th & 20th century weavers and city merchants eager to swell their coffers. Rumors abounded of much earlier origins but it wasn't until American textile archaeologist Elizabeth Barber thoroughly investigated the Mummies of Ürümchi that the real truth emerged - backed up by impeccable archaeological proof.When the earliest of these Central Asian corpses was laid to rest in the sands of the Tarim Basin, about 2000 b.c. or a little after, the Chinese had not yet learned to use metal but were already busy domesticating the precious silkworm that would one day lend its name to the most famous caravan route of Inner Asia, the Silk Road, along whose stretches the mummies have been found.
The mummies appeared to be neither Chinese nor Mongoloid in facial type; they looked "Caucasian," with high-bridged noses, deep, round eye sockets, fair hair, and - on the men - heavy beards. . . . . historians would not particularly expect Chinese mummies in Central Asia in the second millennium BC but why not Mongoloid? Archaeologists and linguists alike had assumed that the Mongol-type peoples had "always" inhabited this entire area . . . . they also assumed central and northern Asia to be the general homeland of the Altaic linguistic group, which today includes Mongol and the various Turkic and Tungus languages . . . to find Caucasians was a surprise.
Outside of Egypt you find a presentable piece of cloth in a prehistoric dig about as often as you find a ruby in your oatmeal. Yet here, and for the same reason as in Egypt, ancient textiles come out of the ground by the armful. Whereas the sophisticated Egyptians labored to produce masses of plain white linen, the country folk of the Tarim Basin wove and bedecked themselves in garments of vivid color that has survived with astounding brightness.
The dominant weave at Qizilchoqa proved to be normal diagonal twill and the chief decoration was plaid - that is wide and narrow color stripes in both warp and weft, as in the woolen twill material of a Scottish kilt. And there lay the big surprise. The Gaelic-speaking Scots, along with the Irish, Welsh and Bretons, belong to the Celtic branch of Indo-European; and the Indo-European family tree, when organized by dialect similarity rather than modern geography shows Tokharian on the branch next to Celtic.
Wang Binghua's wife, Wang Luli, also published a piece of plaid twill: a large portion of some sort of vest. Her photograph shows broad stripes of purple-brown thread with the plaid formed by pinstripes in no fewer than five other colors: light and dark blue, red, white, and black. To make the vest, the tailor joined pieces of this stuff together with pale blue yarn, edged the vest with two narrow plaited cords, and added a pair of buttons covered with the same pale blue yarn. That sample has been rewoven in modern times and offers a remarkably sophisticated design that is the equal of many asymmetric tartans of the 20th century.

Sealaska Honors Tlingit Elder with Matching Gift for Alaska Native Studies Scholarships at UAS
Date of Press Release: February 5, 2019

Alaska Native Studies has garnered more support at UAS through a new fund established in honor of Tlingit elder Dr. Kaayistaan Marie Olson. Sealaska is offering a matching challenge to meet the goal of endowing the scholarship fund, which will provide scholarship for students pursuing a degree in Alaska Native Studies.
Sealaska is pledging $10,000 in cash and will match other donors' contributions $1:1 up to $5,000 to endow the Kaayistaan Marie Olson Alaska Native Studies Scholarship, a fund established with an anonymous gift of $5,000. At the $25,000 level, the fund will generate scholarships annually for students enrolled in Alaska Native language, arts, or cultural courses through the Alaska Native Studies Program at UAS.
Sealaska has a long history of investing in education. "This new scholarship is exciting, not only does it honor a very special person in Kaayistaan, but funds will support students pursuing post-secondary education in our traditional homelands," said Sealaska Chair Joe Nelson. "At every level, especially post-secondary, we need more Alaska Native education leaders. I'm proud that UAS has a number of Sealaska shareholders teaching as tenured or tenure-track faculty."
Throughout her own life Dr. Olson overcame cultural repression and sexism to obtain her own education. "I remember coming back to Alaska after graduating high school down south and applying for scholarships through the Bureau of Indian Affairs," said Dr. Olson. "At the time, the only scholarships available to me were for beauty or secretarial school. Now, because of scholarships like the Kaayistaan Marie Olson Alaska Native Studies Scholarship, my hope is that there will be more options for young people."
In 1972, Dr. Olson took her first course at UAS and encouraged Tlingit language be taught at UAS. Since then she has completed two certificate programs and a Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree at UAS. Last May, Marie was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters in recognition of her accomplishments as an Alaska Native leader in education.
Dr. Olson has been an active supporter of the Preparing Indigenous Teachers and Administrators for Alaska's Schools (PITAAS) program, a program guiding Alaska Native students to become teachers and school administrators, and the Native and Rural Student Center (NRSC) at UAS. Through her involvement with Alaska Native students, Marie has touched the lives of many and encouraged Alaska Native students from around the state to complete their education.
"We are very grateful that Sealaska is making this significant donation to the Kaayistaan Marie Olson Alaska Native Studies Scholarship at UAS," says UAS Chancellor Rick Caulfield, Ph.D. "Dr. Olson, an esteemed Elder of the Áak'w K̲wáan, is an inspiring role model for our students and a strong supporter of our university. This scholarship continues her legacy of supporting Alaska Native education."
If you wish to contribute to the Kaayistaan Marie Olson Alaska Native Studies Scholarship and support Native language and studies at UAS, Sealaska will be matching donations $1:1 up to $5,000. You may pay by check written out to the University of Alaska Foundation with "Marie Olson Scholarship" on the memo line and mail to UAS, 11066 Auke Lake Way, Juneau, AK 99801, or you may contribute securely online and designate your support to the Kaayistaan Marie Olson Alaska Native Studies Scholarship.

Whether you've just bought a new house and need new landscaping or are wanting to update and revamp your current landscaping, it can be difficult to choose the right type of landscaping rocks for your new design. There are several different kinds of rocks, and each is used for different purposes and in different ways. Below you will find a helpful guide to landscaping rocks and their uses, so that you can pick the right rock for you and your needs.
Perhaps the most common landscaping rock is gravel. Its popularity is due to the fact that it comes in a range of different colors, from gold to red. Gravel has been machine cut into irregular sized pieces that cover the ground nicely. Gravel can be compacted in order to be used on driveways and walkways. Gravel can also be used to add pops of color and texture to flowerbeds and other areas of your yard.
River rocks are smooth, usually round stones that come in a range of different colors. This kind of stone is a little bit larger than gravel, and it isn't as rough looking. River rocks have a nice polished finish, which is a result of water currents carrying them down river. As the name suggests, river rocks can be used in water features, like fountains or small ponds, to create cover. They can also be used in dry riverbeds as well to create a cool, moving river look without the water.
When you need landscape rocks in Las Vegas, lava rocks are a great choice. For one, they are incredibly popular in the Southwest, because they can take the place of a grassy lawn. Usually red in color, lava rocks do come from volcanic areas. These rocks can be used to replace turf, which means you won't have to water your lawn anymore! They can also be used as accent rocks or ground cover for walkways.
Is Gabion Right for Your Needs?
Las Vegas pavers are available in a variety of shapes and colors.


When you book into cheap hotels in Edinburgh you will be in for a real treat. Make sure you head to the historic Old Town, which is a mixture of the deeply gruesome and the historically fascinating. Many parts of Edinburgh Old Town have now been restored as tourist spots, so you can, for example, visit the fascinating Mary Kings Close, a 16th and 17th century underground city built beneath the Royal Mile. Here the poorest members of the community lived, worked and died, and there are now tours of the Close – actually a series of streets leading off of a major route called Mary Kings Close. Anyone wanting to visit a historical place like this should consider looking at available cheap hotels in Edinburgh Old Town, in order to be able to access sites like this.
For anyone that loves a fright make sure to head to the Dungeons! The Edinburgh Dungeon is a neat mixture of the historical and the gruesome, with grim interactive displays that demonstrate the history of this part of the city. However, it also offers education on the anatomical lessons which were once held nearby. For anyone looking for something different to do when they are considering cheap hotels in Edinburgh, this is one way to go.
There is much to see and do in the city, and many hidden gems you will not want to miss. If you want to experience the full range of historical feature that Edinburgh has to offer, then you should definitely consider visiting the Vaults. Easily reached from many of the cheap hotels in Edinburgh Old Town, the Vaults are both interesting from a sociology point of view, and reflect a time in Edinburgh's history when merchants, traders and rogues were still the main points of the city's economy. The Vaults were built in the 18th century to allow access between the Old and the New Towns, and the Vaults were constructed under the South Bridge. In the spaces between the pillars of the bridge, a number of illicit Taverns and merchant sites spring up, and between around 1788 and 1820 these vaults were inhabited by people from the Old Town. With so much to do and see in cheap hotels in Edinburgh you will be spoilt.

Three-way talks on Blue Nile dam dispute to resume Tuesday
By Giulia Paravicini
ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Negotiations between Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan over a controversial multi-billion dollar dam on the Blue Nile will resume on Tuesday, nearly two months after Egypt left the talks, African Union chairman Cyril Ramaphosa said on Monday.

A bitter dispute between the three countries over the filling and operation of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) remains unresolved even after the reservoir behind the dam began filling in July.
"The resumption of the trilateral negotiations on the GERD ... is a reaffirmation of the confidence that the parties have in an African-led negotiations process," Ramaphosa, who is South Africa's president, said in a statement.
The resumption of talks comes two days after Ethiopia summoned the U.S. ambassador over what it called an "incitement of war" between Ethiopia and Egypt by U.S. President Donald Trump over the dam dispute.
Trump called on Friday for an agreement between the countries, but said it was a dangerous situation and that Cairo could end up "blowing up that dam".
Sudan's Irrigation Ministry said talks on Tuesday would discuss a new model for talks giving "a bigger role to experts and observers".
"Then the new negotiation methods will be put to the heads of state to decide on them and resume negotiations on the basis of a precise timetable," the ministry said in a statement.
Egypt, which gets more than 90% of its scarce fresh water from the Nile and fears the dam could devastate its economy, left the negotiations in August after Ethiopia proposed a new timeline for filling the GERD.
Trump also said Ethiopia had broken a U.S.-brokered agreement to resolve the dispute, forcing him to cut funds. The United States cut $100 million in aid to Ethiopia in September.
Ethiopian lawmakers said on Monday that "no force on earth" would stop the completion of the dam and that they were ready to defend it from internal as well as external attacks.
"We will defend any possible internal and external attacks and conspiracies and we shall complete the dam," the lawmakers from the lower House said in a statement.

NASA published a 360-degree panorama of Mars during a dust storm
by space · September 8, 2018
The dust storm on Mars began in the first days of June. Originating in the Perseverance Valley, it spread to the entire planet. Space agency specialists had to turn the Opportunity rover into a crisis mode due to the fact that its work depends on solar panels. Now there are searches for the rover, which have not yet been crowned with success. His later analogue Curiosity uses a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG), which allowed him to capture the development of the cataclysm.
Curiosity is now on the lower ledge of the Vera Rubin Ridge ridge, NASA reports. There he photographed a 360-degree panorama, which demonstrates the effects of a dust storm. In the photo, the body of the device is covered, covered with a layer of dust. In addition, it shows the latest goal of the rover – the region of Stoer (Stoer), named after the Scottish city, whose lake sediments gave knowledge about ancient life on Earth.
In 2016 part of the drilling mechanism of the rover stopped working, so engineers had to look for alternative ways of drilling. In February this year, they tried one of these in the territory of Lake Orcadie (Lake Orcadie), and it worked. However, later, when examining Vera Rubin's ridge, two attempts to drill failed. Now scientists are trying to understand what made the stones so hard. They believe that in the past the ridge was washed by underground water, which distributed a certain "cement" on its surface.
New drilling method / © NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
The candidate for the role of "cement" is considered to be hematite, a mineral of iron, which is formed in water and which is found in large quantities in the ridge. Engineers plan to take two more soil samples in September – perhaps they will confirm the theory. Then, in October, the rover will go to Mount Eolide (Mount Sharp), where the areas are rich in clay and sulfate minerals.

Docket No. CDC-2017-0080
Proposed Project
Background and Brief Description
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Notice with comment period.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed and/or continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project entitled Implementing the 6|18 Initiative: Case Studies. CDC proposes to seek a three-year clearance to conduct semi-structured interviews with state public health department and Medicaid agency officials. CDC designed this information collection project to improve understanding of facilitators and barriers to increased utilization of evidence-based interventions for selected chronic and infectious diseases.
You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2017-0080 by any of the following methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
Mail: Leroy A. Richardson, Information Collection Review Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE., MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments to Regulations.gov. Access Regulations.gov.
Please note: Submit all public comments through the Federal eRulemaking portal (regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the address listed above.
To request more information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, contact Leroy A. Richardson, Information Collection Review Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE., MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329; phone: 404-639-7570; Email: omb@cdc.gov.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information collection before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the Start Printed Page 47739functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.
Implementing the 6|18 Initiative: Case Studies—New—Office of the Director (OD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Major trends in health care are providing new opportunities to pay for and deliver prevention and to improve population health. New and alternative health care payment and delivery models are more patient-centered and facilitate the delivery of greater comprehensive care and prevention. Public health departments have been eager to leverage their skill sets and resources to complement those of the health care sector, to maximize impact for population health in this time of dynamic health system change and opportunity.
In this context, CDC developed the CDC's 6|18 Initiative to provide health care purchasers, payers, and providers with rigorous evidence about high-burden health conditions and associated evidence-based interventions. With a focus on the greatest short-term health and potential cost impact (generally in less than five years), the evidence informs their coverage decisions.
The name "6|18" comes from the initial focus on six common, costly and preventable health conditions (tobacco use, high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, healthcare-associated infections and unintended pregnancies) and 18 evidence-based prevention and control interventions, which form the content of dialogue with health care purchasers, payers and providers. More information on the Initiative content and progress can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/sixeighteen.
The 6|18 initiative links the health care and public health sectors by providing a shared focus across a spectrum of prevention interventions, from traditional clinical settings to care outside the clinical setting. Public health's strength in identifying and analyzing scientific evidence complements the purchaser, payer, and provider role of financing and delivering care.
Since cross-sector public health-health care collaboration to improve population health is still not a standard practice, information regarding public-payer collaboration with public health agencies is scarce. There are few or no case studies related to public health-health care collaboration around increasing preventive service utilization. CDC intends to fill this knowledge gap through this data collection effort.
As part of the 6|18 Initiative, CDC and its partners (Center for Health Care Strategies, Inc. (CHCS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)) provided technical assistance to state teams (i.e., State Medicaid and Public Health Agencies), to support and accelerate their implementation of the 6|18 Initiative's interventions. In Year 1 of the 6|18 Initiative (2016), CDC and its partners worked with nine state teams. In Year 2 (2017), CDC and its partners will work with 8 new teams from 6 states, the District of Columbia, and a large city (hereafter, "states"). No data has been collected to date.
To document qualitative lessons learned related to the collaboration, CDC and its cooperative agreement sub-contractor, George Washington University, plan to conduct in-person and telephone semi-structured individual interviews with state Public Health Department and State Medicaid Agency officials.
Interview participants will have been directly involved in conceptualizing, planning, and/or implementing 6|18 Initiative-related activities, and will have participated in the cross-sector collaboration. CDC plans to engage up to 82 respondents (four to seven officials from each of the 17 state teams who participated in the 6|18 Initiative). The officials from each state team will be leadership and staff from public health agencies at the state, city, and tribal level. For each state, we will request interviews with: One Public Health Division Director, one to four Public Health Services Managers (one per health condition), one Medicaid Director, and one Medicaid Services Manager. When joining the 6|18 Initiative, each state selected one to four conditions from the list of 6|18 conditions, and assigned one public health manager to each condition.
CDC plans to administer the interviews from 2018 to 2021, to allow time for unanticipated delays; and to accommodate state team schedules, busy seasons, and holidays. All participants will speak in their official capacity as state public health department or Medicaid agency officials. Prior to granting public access to written products, CDC will provide participants the opportunity to review written products.
CDC anticipates using the interview findings: (1) To describe, disseminate, and scale best practices to participating and non-participating states, and (2) for program improvement of the CDC's 6|18 Initiative. CDC will disseminate findings via written products such as peer-reviewed manuscripts and in-depth written case studies. The written products, which will share lessons learned and effective approaches to collaboration, can inform and potentially accelerate related efforts by other state teams. In addition, 6|18 participants can use findings and written products to highlight their accomplishments to their stakeholders, such as their Medicaid leadership, and/or governors.
Participants will have a maximum estimated burden of one hour and 15 minutes: One hour for the interview, and fifteen minutes for any needed preparation. CDC will base all interviews on the same interview guide.
CDC will seek a three-year OMB approval for this information collection project. CDC estimates that they will conduct 29 interviews per year. Participation is voluntary and respondents will not receive incentives for participation. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.Start Printed Page 47740

The platform functionality is the direct result of a survey of emergency managers and emergency responders across disciplines, and blends data from 30 different government, public health, and private sector sources.


Human behavior should be studied as a natural science governed by empirical neurobiology. Nature Wars offers an eye-opening look at how Americans lost touch with the natural landscape, spending 90 percent of their time indoors where nature arrives via television, films and digital screens in which wild creatures often behave like people or cuddly pets. Meanwhile his fortune melts away. The orbits of the heavenly bodies. Emerson adds that the very importance of the action of the human mind on nature distances us from the natural world and leaves us unable to explain our sympathy with it. Each section takes a different perspective on the relationship between humans and nature.
This is also known as. Men fall towards their wound, in this case the dart of Venus. The miseries caused by erroneous beliefs concerning the nature of the gods. Emerson speaks of the landscape in which he walks and how he, as a poet, can best integrate all that he sees. Nature pleases even in its harsher moments.
Over time, we have lost a sense of the particular connection of the first language to the natural world, but children and primitive people retain it to some extent. He then turns to the questions of where matter comes from, and to what end. Though a complete analysis always needs to use these elements, the reasons for engaging in it may vary widely. Our whole life passes away but we fail to reach a conclusion regarding our fate in the other world. She then explores the way that stories are brought to the news media and how they are then presented. The second edition of this collection was published in Boston in 1856 by Phillips, Sampson, under the title Miscellanies; Embracing Nature, Addresses, and Lectures.
Governments decide nature should pick up and move or work around them instead. The world exists for each man, the humble as well as the great. Emerson asserts that there is universal understanding of the relationship between natural imagery and human thought. Mother guides them that playthings should be resulted and go to bed alone. All the parts incessantly work into each other's hands for the profit of man. In and style he was in debt to the older Latin poets, especially to , the father of Roman.
Instead of being a collection of integrated objects, he sees nature as an integrated whole. Money, power, conflict and accidental death and destruction pervade the work. There is a particular affinity between the processes of nature and the capabilities of man. Why cling to life, when death is inevitable and will be eternal? Other arguments against the immortality of the soul. Most people reach stages four and five readily because they are biologically determined for hunter-gatherer societies. Native residents in each of these regions recognize and accept the natural order. Los Angeles enlists its own army with the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, also known as Flood, and the Sedimentation Section of the Hydraulic Division of Los Angeles County Department of Public Works.
How a plain woman can win love. For what benefit could immortal and blessed beings derive from our gratitude, that they should undertake to do anything for our sake? Nature is divided into an introduction and eight chapters. Among Humboldt's most revolutionary ideas was a radical vision of nature, that it is a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone. But it is not enough to say that nature does not have independent existence. First, an arena of materialism and second, an arena of spiritualism.
Art thus represents nature as distilled by man. Any given thing possesses a distinct creative capacity. It is only then that an individual will be in a position to understand nature. With each passing days of our life, time slips away from our hand, the days remaining in our lives get shorter. Deviation from the societal norms of expected behavior leads to derision and punishment. These distinctions define the ways by which humans use nature for their basic needs, their desire for delight, their communication with one another and their understanding of the world. Emerson then argues that it is possible to find examples of a self-reliant human nature by paying attention to people that are closer to nature.
Spirit As a qualification to the discussion of Idealism in the previous section, Emerson asserts that Idealism is ultimately an introductory hypothesis like carpentry and chemistry about nature. In writing Nature, Emerson drew upon material from his journals, sermons, and lectures. Each of these activities helped me in three aspects of my life: mentally, physically and psychologically. Sponsored Links As a fond mother, when the day is o'er, Leads by the hand her little child to bed, Half willing, half reluctant to be led, And leave his broken playthings on the floor, Still gazing at them through the open door, Nor wholly reassured and comforted By promises of others in their stead, Which though more splendid, may not please him more; So Nature deals with us, and takes away Our playthings one by one, and by the hand Leads us to rest so gently, that we go Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay, Being too full of sleep to understand How far the unknown transcends the what we know. And Lectures on the Times, by H. Emerson's poem emphasizes the unity of all manifestations of nature, nature's symbolism, and the perpetual development of all of nature's forms toward the highest expression as embodied in man.
Locke concludes by noting that all people are in a state of nature until a special compact or agreement between them which he promises to describe later makes them members of a political society. This notion of the Universal Being, which he identifies with God, is what many readers identify as transcendentalism. This entails that despite the infinite variety of natural processes and forms, they all embody a version of the moral law of the universe, which illustrates the unity of Nature - its unity in variety. It is the harsh truth of nature that all living beings will meet their inevitable end some day. Fabulous hybrid monsters could never have existed. He writes that people are distracted by the demands of the world, whereas nature gives but humans fail to reciprocate.
Added to this theme is a second one, the theme of accessibility. By 2000, a majority of Americans lived in neither cities nor country but in that vast in-between. There are new lands, new men, new thoughts. These, our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air; into thin air. Each object is a microcosm of the universe.

Biografia
Figlio di un imprenditore, era un rappresentante democristiano e della corrente andreottiana, sostenitore di Nino Drago, salito alla ribalta nel periodo del governo della solidarietà nazionale. Nel 1974 era stato Presidente del Calcio Catania, stagione della retrocessione della squadra e che riportò nuovamente al vertice Angelo Massimino.

Più tardi, grazie anche al voto dei consiglieri di sinistra, scrive l'Unità, nel 1978 divenne sindaco. Fu riconfermato per un secondo mandato (1980-1982) alle elezioni amministrative del 1980.

Negli anni '90 Coco fu segretario della Camera di Commercio di Catania.

Il nubifragio del 1979
Un violento, forse inaspettato, nubifragio si abbatte su Catania il 25 ottobre 1979 con un bilancio pesante e danni incalcolabili: «due morti, un ferito grave, numerosi crolli, migliaia di abitazioni allagate», scrive La Stampa. Fra i motivi dei disagi causati dal maltempo ci sarebbe stato il vulcano; nel corso dell'eruzione dell'Etna del 1979, infatti, il 4 agosto, dal cratere centrale dell'Etna, per oltre 48 ore, era fuoriuscita una notevole quantità di cenere che aveva intasato i tombini. Un altro aspetto emerse dalla stampa dell'epoca. Alla fine degli anni '70, a Catania mancavano ancora le opere pubbliche idrauliche, mai progettate, caratterizzate da canali di gronda, per l'intercettazione delle acque tracimate lungo la fascia settentrionale della città.

Sommerso dalle polemiche, Coco fece preparare dall'ufficio tecnico comunale una «nota ufficiale», spiegando i problemi irrisolti del centro abitato e del suo hinterland: «L'urbanizzazione a tappeto della fascia pedemontana etnea ha trasformato le zone a nord della città in un enorme bacino imbrifero impermeabile. Detto bacino, sfornito delle necessarie opere di smaltimento delle acque meteoriche, riversa le stesse in città attraverso le strade provinciali che durante le precipitazioni si trasformano in torrenti di portata impressionante. [...] Occorre, pertanto, provvedere ad intercettare a nord della città le acque portate dalle strade esterne mediante opportune opere di presa e quindi disperderle nel sottosuolo con adeguati pozzi».

Hi Elizabeth, In regards to the Rawlings group, I sent a friend request a moment ago but didn't get a chance to send message with it. I am an Australian descendant of Wil/Mary Rawlings son Jeremiah 1755-1834, Jeremiahs son John 1786, johns son William 1814 who married Mary cotterell who both sailed to south Australia in 1839, their son James 1839, James daughter Mary Ann 1874, Mary Ann's daughter Mildred who gave birth to my mum (it's difficult explaining on a short email). I am yet to confirm much detail I have found through research but would be interested to be included in this Rawlings group.

My Tweddle family is from Lanercost Cumberland. My 4x great grandmother was Margaret Tweddle daughter of Thomas Tweddle and Margaret Robson (married 18 May 1721 Lanercost). Margaret married Henry Routledge of Oakshaw Bewcastle 3 Oct 1759 at Lanercost.
the son of Henry Routledge and Margaret Tweddle - Thomas Routledge - and his wife Elizabeth Routledge (daughter of George Routledge and Grace Routledge) emigrated to Canada in 1818. They are my first emigrant ancestors to Canada. I have many Routledge lines (just one Tweddle so far).

Where do your Tweddle's come from? Mine are from Haltwhitle, England and immigrated to Canada then to Delaware, USA.

I have set up a Group for Wiltshire Ancestors - would you add a link to it on your RAWLINGS group and I will do likewise to the new group.

Hi Elizabeth. I live in London Ontario and I have some information on the Rutledges and some of the other names that you mentioned. Please get in touch with me in regards to helping you. I have the London Township book and most of the names are mentioned in it. I also have marriage books from 1796- 1834 Miss Pat Carson

Thanks for your info (August 13) on Martha Pearse Rowcliffe. Just before seeing that I realised that you had already let me have information on Martha and Philip, her husband, back in mid July. Sorry to have overlooked that.

Hi, Elizabeth,
I've just stumbled across your comment of July 12 to Bob Marshall in which you refer to a Martha PEARSE Rowcliffe wife of Philip Rowcliffe. Can you give me any more information on her as her second name suggests she might be a daughter or grand-daughter of a Pearse (not necessarily one of 'my lot' I know) so any info you can supply would be helpful.

I find your information on Rew very interesting. However, I don't know whether there is any connection with my ancestors. Have a look at my Goodwin Web Site - MyHeritage.com - Microsoft Internet Explorer. BUT, I visited Selworthy churchyard last October with my son from Australia and he found a number of gravestones with REW. If you want me to send details please email me on acg-grg@talktalk.co.net
