PG&E agrees to reduce dioxin runoff
By Julia Cheever :: Bay City News September 11, 2018
An eight-year-old lawsuit filed against PG&E Co. for alleged releases of dioxin from stored utility poles into San Francisco Bay and Humboldt Bay has been settled, according to the environmental group that filed the lawsuit.
The Ecological Rights Foundation, based in Garberville (Humboldt County), alleged in its 2010 lawsuit that dioxin, a chemical that causes cancer and birth defects, was carried by storm water runoff from treated wooden utility poles, sawdust and wood waste into the two bays.
The settlement was signed by U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg in San Francisco on Friday and announced by the foundation on Monday.
Under the agreement, which will remain in effect through 2026, PG&E will identify storage yards containing treated poles and will test and implement technologies for reducing dioxin runoff to levels that pose lower risk to human health and wildlife.
The technologies could include storage improvements, such as covering poles or keeping them indoors; improvements in storm water treatment; and possibly the use of different materials, such as cement or steel, for utility poles, according to foundation attorney Fredric Evenson.
Evenson said:
"Dioxins are among the most toxic chemicals known to science … This has been a hard-fought legal battle, but in the end PG&E now appears to understand that dioxin has no business in our bay, and will now take meaningful action to benefit San Francisco Bay's wildlife and residents who eat locally caught seafood."
The settlement specifies that PG&E does not admit to any wrongdoing.
The utility said in a statement:
"Because environmental stewardship is a guiding principle at PG&E, we are pleased to have reached an agreement with the Ecological Rights Foundation to perform environmental testing on new storm water treatment methods of PG&E's treated wood pole storage areas … Northern California waterways may benefit from any enhancements to existing power pole storage practices and storm water treatment technologies PG&E adopts as a result of the testing."
The wooden poles are treated with pentachlorophenol, a preservative that creates dioxin when it is manufactured. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has banned the preservative for all uses except on utility poles, and its website says it "is extremely toxic when ingested by humans."
The foundation's lawsuit alleged PG&E stored its utility poles in up to 31 locations in the Bay Area and northern coastal California, including two sites each in Oakland, Hayward, and San Jose and one each in Daly City, San Carlos, Milpitas, Cupertino, Concord, Livermore and Vacaville.
The lawsuit also alleged the dioxin pollution ran into rivers and creeks as well as the two bays.
At the time of the settlement, the foundation had been allowed to do preliminary fact gathering at two storage yards in Hayward and Oakland near San Francisco Bay and two Eureka sites near Humboldt Bay and found treated poles at those locations, Evenson said.
Under the agreement, PG&E will identify which of the other sites also contain poles and debris treated with the preservative. The agreement will also apply to any other waterways affected, Evenson said.
Seeborg dismissed the lawsuit in 2015, but it was reinstated in 2017 by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which said the Ecological Rights Foundation had the right to sue under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
The 1976 law allows citizens' lawsuits against entities that handle hazardous waste in a way that endangers human health or the environment.

Horses 2009 Program Set for March at Rutgers
February 17, 2009 -- Horses 2009, a program of educational sessions, fun, prizes and networking for horse owners, is coming to Rutgers March 28 - 29.
February 17, 2009 -- Horses 2009 is coming to Rutgers in New Jersey March 28-29, and its theme is "Knowledge is Horse Power."
The program organized by the Equine Science Center at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, will offer attendees an intense learning experience, with a liberal sprinkling of exhibitor information, fun, prizes, gifts and valuable networking.
The weekend is designed to help the public--whether they ride or own horses, own or manage a horse farm, work with horses as a professional, dream about horses or just want to know more about them--become better "horse people." The event is expected to draw 1,000 people, and it will be held at the expanded facilities of the Busch Campus Center near Route 18 in New Brunswick/Piscataway.
Presentations will focus on horse health and, especially, keeping horses (and their people and facilities!) safe and healthy.
"Those folks who attended Horses 2007 a year and a half ago applauded the range of presentations and the expertise of the speakers. Horses 2009 will look at some of the same topics from a new and updated perspective, and will introduce new subjects that have emerged as important issues in the horse world," said Karyn Malinowski, director of the Equine Science Center.
In addition, a new feature of Horses 2009 will be one-on-one classroom sessions throughout each day, where attendees and presenters can engage in in-depth discussions.
The keynote speaker on Saturday will be veterinarian Scott Palmer, founder of the New Jersey Equine Clinic and past-president of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP), who will tackle the topic "Responsible Horse Ownership: When the Dream Becomes a Reality." Palmer is very active in the responsible ownership movement of the AAEP and the American Horse Council and is recognized as one of the most dedicated and thought-provoking experts on this delicate subject.
On Sunday, the keynote speaker will be Eric Scott, news director of Millennium Radio and New Jersey 101.5, who can be heard almost every weekday morning reporting on developments in New Jersey, particularly news generated by public officials. He will give an overview of "The State of the State We're In," with an insider's look at what New Jersey residents and neighbors in nearby states can expect in the months ahead.
In addition to the keynoters, experts from across the country will share their knowledge in areas of nutrition, behavior, hoof and foot care, keeping competition horses healthy, first aid for horses, serious injuries, lameness and pre-purchase protocols, farm and barn management and protecting horses against disease.
Presentations will be geared for a widely varied audience. The Saturday program will appeal to new owners and those contemplating buying their first horse, as well as riders who may or may not own a horse of their own. In addition, the Equine Science Center is especially inviting riding and driving clubs as well as youth involved in the 4-H Horse Program and the New Jersey Pony Clubs and their parents and grandparents who are interested in a solid overview of horse health care and management.
Speakers on Saturday will include three popular veterinarians--Michael Fugaro of Centenary College, David Marshall of the University of Delaware and Dan Keenan of Keenan-McAlister Equine--who together will provide insight on "When to Call Your Veterinarian."
A panel on "Why Does My Horse Do That?" will look at equine behavior from the point of view of the horse's nature as well as the rider's influence. The two presenters for this session will be veterinarian and equine behaviorist Jeannine Berger from the University of California at Davis and master instructor Heidi Potter from Vermont.
Then "Good Horse-Keeping Essentials" will cover the basics of nutrition by Carey Williams, associate director-outreach with the Equine Science Center; feeding for special needs by Sarah Ralston, associate director-teaching with the Center; and foot and hoof care by Laura Florence, hoof care specialist.
On Sunday, the focus will be on farm and horse health management. Bix DiMeo, longtime manager of Showplace Farms, will discuss the economics of keeping horses; Nick Attwood, owner of a leading equestrian surfaces operation and lecturer for the U.S. Dressage Federation, will talk about arenas, footing and fencing; and attorney Chris Wittstruck, a faculty member at Hofstra University, will discuss legal matters, including contracts, liability and insurance.
Two horse health panels will take place in the afternoon. In the first, veterinarians Brendan Furlong of B.W. Furlong and Associates and Celeste Kunz of Kunz Equine will discuss lameness and chronic conditions in performance horses. Then Kenneth McKeever, associate director-research with the Equine Science Center will talk about performance-altering substances. The second health panel will address "Protecting Your Horse Against Disease" led by David Horohov of the Gluck Center at the University of Kentucky discussing vaccines and Tim Cordes of the U.S. Department of Agriculture on infectious diseases.
In between panels and at breaks, attendees will have ample opportunity to visit with partners and sponsors and register for gifts and giveaways.
"At Horses 2007, the feedback we received from attendees and exhibitors was outstanding," says Malinowski. "We also received suggestions for format and topics, and those attending Horses 2009 will see their suggestions put into practice. It will be an outstanding, worthwhile conference for horse people of all disciplines, ages and degrees of experience and expertise."

Rhyolite at night, first trip.
Back in August of 2009 shortly after reading Joe McNally book, The Hot Shoe Diaries, I was armed and ready to capture a fantastic photo. I decide to head to Rhyolite, NV and take some night photos. For those of who don't know Rhyolite is a ghost town outside Beaty Nevada, about 2 hours north of Las Vegas. What a spooky and fantastic place to take photos.
I arrived around 7:30pm and started to take photos at the Goldwell outdoor Museum, that's where Albert Szukalsk did his erie version of "The Last Supper" with burlap and plaster. Up the street from there was the Cook Bank Building.
I decided to tackle the Cook Bank building by trying to light up what's left is this wonderful building. The commander mode on my D700's on board flash did not have enough power to trigger the remote flashes a about 150 feet away, so I had to put on one of the SB-900's on the camera to trigger the remote flash. Zooming the flash to 200mm I was able to reach the furthest flash, I guess Strobe, the flash God, was looking down on me that night. Now I was down to one flash left to light up the building, oh well. So I decided to take a series of photos and merge them together afterwords in Photoshop.
Afterwords in post I used my tried and true method of merging photos using layers and layer masks to paint in the light. Then the light came on and I decided to try a new method. You know there are always new ways to skin a photo. I tried, and some of you will say duh, to use layer blending modes. Wow that's the beacon, it made it so easy and looked so good. Now I just mask out where I don't want the light.

How much is safety worth to you?
MiR Main
What's the real cost of workplace safety?
From reputational damage and employee retention, to legal fees and medical costs, keeping workers safe must be the number one priority for employers. And while industry and manufacturing are, by their nature, riskier than many other workplaces, employers must invest more in keeping their workers safe or risk serious financial harm.
Serious repercussions
Recent statistics show that workplace injuries cost the U.S. economy roughly $52 billion to $60 billion per year — that's at least $1 billion per week. In the UK, an average of 82,000 workers were injured in workplace accidents annually between 2016/17 and 2018/19. Given the UK has a workforce of only 33 million this is an incredibly high percentage, which equates to about £1.7m per fatal injury and £8,500 per non-fatal injury. But it's not just the direct costs, such as medical and legal fees, that mount up. There can also be huge impact from fines, equipment or material damage, absenteeism, decreased productivity and increased employee turnover as well. In the United States, companies could also find themselves on the annual 'Dirty Dozen' list of safety offenders compiled by the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (National COSH).
Using technology to protect workers
However, the latest innovative solutions can help manufacturers on their journey to creating better working conditions. New technology like autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) can increase workplace safety by taking on repetitive, risk prone tasks like transporting pallets or goods, without human interaction. They use a multi-sensor safety system to avoid collisions, and take the best routes. Models like the MiR1000, for example, has a payload of 1,000kg (2,200lbs), making it a challenger to the traditional forklift. Not only does that mean less strain on the body, it also means workers are less at risk of collisions, and more likely to find more complex, value adding tasks to complete. On top of that, the robots help prevent fatigue, further decreasing the likelihood of human error fueled accidents.
Adding safety to the ROI
Given the high risks of workplace injuries in manufacturing, businesses that want to attract and retain the best workforce, avoid huge fines and costs, must do more to create business plans that include the true value of a safe workforce.

God's plan to deliver his people out of Egypt is first revealed in Exodus 7:1-5, which we read this past Wednesday.
As I've studied the story of Moses, Pharaoh and the plagues this week, I keep dwelling on God's words, "I will harden [have hardened] Pharaoh's heart". This theme starts in Exodus 7 and is repeated through plague 10, the Death of the First Born. Why would God do this? It seems so uncharacteristic of what we know about Him.
This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, I Timothy 2:3-4.
Exodus 9:16 makes it clear why God chose this path, "But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth." To demonstrate God's power and that his name is proclaimed throughout the earth makes sense, but it doesn't resolve the inconsistency. How do you reconcile God's desire to have all men saved with an action to intentionally harden someone's heart, which ultimately inhibits salvation?
I think Exodus 8 reveals Pharaoh actually made the choice himself. Exodus 8:15, But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart and would not listen to them, as the Lord had said. Exodus 8:32, But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and did not let the people go. Once his choice was made, God carried out his plan and allowed Pharaoh to affirm his choice on several occasions.
This isn't how I want things to happen. I often find myself asking God to prevent me from making a bad choice, then saving me from the accompanying consequences. However, sometimes God chooses a different path. Sometimes he uses our sinful choices to achieve his purposes.
Jump forward to the parable of the Fig tree we read about in Luke 13:6-9 today, do you see similarities?
If God is represented by the vineyard owner in this parable, Jesus is the vinedresser and we are the vines. God shows mercy on us, gives us time to come to him with repentant hearts. God's mercy is the picture of Him we want to see.
God's patience will eventually come to an end. Like Pharaoh, we must not give in to the lure of sin and let our hearts become hardened or we risk God's wrath (being cut down by the vinedresser). Again, this is not the picture of Him we want to see, but a reality we must accept.
Romans 2:5, But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
Will you join me today and repent of your sinfulness? Confess your need for Jesus. Ask God to fill your heart with a desire for him.

Global economy heads for a sharp slowdown, India to grow at 8.3%: World Bank – Hindustan Times
By Kalpana Warrier on January 12, 2022
Global economic growth will dip sharply from 5.5% in 2021 to 4.1% in 2022 and 3.2% in 2023, even as India's annual growth is projected to be 8.3% in the current fiscal year, 8.7% in 2022-23, and 6.8% in 2023-24, according to the World Bank's Global Economic Prospects Report, released on Tuesday. The report also flagged the risks posed by growing inequality and rising inflation.
After having recovered in 2021, the global economy is headed towards a "pronounced slowdown", due to the new variants of Covid-19; a rise in inflation, debt and income inequality; the winding down of fiscal and monetary support; and the fading of pent-up demand – all of which have eroded recovery prospects in emerging and developing economies in particular.
"The rapid spread of the Omicron variant indicates that the pandemic will likely continue to disrupt economic activity in the near term. In addition, a notable deceleration in major economies — including the United States and China — will weigh on external demand in emerging and developing economies. At a time when governments in many developing economies lack the policy space to support activity if needed, new Covid-19 outbreaks, persistent supply-chain bottlenecks and inflationary pressures, and elevated financial vulnerabilities in large swaths of the world could increase the risk of a hard landing," said the report.
In its outlook for South Asia, however, India stands as a relatively bright spot. The Bank's 8.3% growth projection for India in 2021-22 is unchanged from its June 2021 outlook. But the forecast for 2022-23 and 2023-24 has been upgraded to 8.7% and 6.8%, respectively, "reflecting higher investment from the private sector and in infrastructure, and dividends from ongoing reforms".
India's economy is expected to grow 9.2% this financial year, according to advance estimates from the country's statistics office, ensuring that the economy exceeds its pre-pandemic level (2019-20). Most high frequency indicators were at or above pre-pandemic levels in December, although January has been marked by increasing disruptions caused by restrictions on account of the Omicron-driven third wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
The World Bank report flags risks specific to South Asia – the emergence of Omicron could hinder economic activity with mobility restrictions and lower external demand; upward price pressures could lead to inflation expectations becoming unanchored, "worsening domestic financing conditions, eroding real incomes and weakening the financial sector"; and, with an increase in climate risks, the region remains vulnerable to climate-induced increases in poverty, disease, child mortality and food prices.
Inequality, between and within countries, and inflation, both in the advanced and emerging economies, will complicate recovery.
The report points to the possibility of a sharp divergence in growth prospects in advanced economies and emerging economies – by 2023, all advanced economies will have achieved a full output recovery; yet output in emerging and developing economies will remain 4% below pre-pandemic trends.
"The pandemic has raised global income inequality, partly reversing the decline that was achieved over the previous two decades. It has also increased inequality in many other spheres of human activity — in the availability of vaccines; in economic growth; in access to education and health care; and in the scale of job and income losses, which have been higher for women and low-skilled and informal workers. This trend has the potential to leave lasting scars: for example, losses to human capital caused by disruptions in education can spill over across generations," said the report.
Inflation will further complicate recovery. "Rising inflation – which hits low-income workers particularly hard – is constraining monetary policy. Globally and in advanced economies, inflation is running at the highest rates since 2008. In emerging market and developing economies, it has reached its highest rate since 2011. Many emerging and developing economies are withdrawing policy support to contain inflationary pressures – well before the recovery is complete."
India isn't an exception on the inflation front. Retail inflation continues to remain within the central bank's comfort level but in excess of 4% (it was 4.9% in November), with core inflation (excluding food and fuel) remaining even higher at 5.9%. Wholesale inflation was high, too, at 14.23% in November, mainly on account of a rise in food and fuel prices.

Last season was a breakout year for the prop.
Regarded as a future Australian representative according to Andrew Johns, Saifiti is only getting better with age.
The towering forward, who is signed on at the Knights until at least the end of 2020, is a direct player who takes good metres after contact and helps the team to go forward early in sets.
The local junior made has represented Fiji alongside his twin brother Jacob and was selected for the Emerging Blues squad in 2018.
Saifiti averaged 113.2 running metres for 2018.

Before buying a new TV card, it's always worth checking its support status on V4L documentation. However, be advised that, since some producers label with the same product name boards that, inside, are actually different, there is always some risk of buying an un- (or non-completely) supported card even if it appears to be. Spending some more time searching newsgroups and mailing lists for complains is recommended.

Federal Liberals have voted in favour of a resolution calling for the decriminalization of voluntary, medically assisted death. The motion comes in anticipation of the vote in Quebec over whether to legalize medically assisted death. If successful, Quebec would be the first province in Canada to legalize such measures.
The overall rate of reported adverse effects following vaccinations in Ontario was 4.7 per 100 000 population in 2012, according to a report published by Public Health Ontario. The largest number of adverse effects reported was secondary to the influenza vaccine and none of the reactions reported were fatal.
An increase in the number of deceased organ donors in Canada has led to an improvement in the organ donation rate, in part because of increasing public awareness. Canada's overall rate of 15.5 deceased donors per million in 2012 is still lower than other developed nations such as Spain, France, Italy and the US.
Anesthetist George Doodnaught, 65, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the sexual assault of 21 female patients while they were sedated. He plans to appeal the conviction. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario suspended Doodnaught's licence after receiving 30 complaints of sexual misconduct and will be conducting a disciplinary hearing.
The federal government is proposing more explicit warning labels for tanning beds and equipment. Ottawa is now conducting public consultation before finalizing the proposed labels, which feature a cancer warning and a detailed list of potential health risks and complications. It is up to individual provinces and territories whether to implement the warnings.
The Quebec Order of Pharmacists is calling for Health Canada to be more proactive in requiring pharmaceutical companies to report drug shortages. This was prompted by the current shortage of Ritalin (10 mg), which, according to Diane Lamarre, the order's president, could have been prevented with more time and notice to import the medication from other countries.
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research has launched a Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research, with a view of ensuring that the right patient receives the right intervention at the right time and translating research into practice. Manitoba will open Canada's first SUPPORT (Support for People and Patient-Oriented Research and Trials) Unit; others will follow throughout the country.
Toronto, Ont., Vancouver, BC, and Ottawa, Ont., are among the Canadian cities that took part in the Seventh Annual International Rare Disease Day Feb. 28.

Lawmakers push for cost of living increase for state pension recipients
TULSA, Okla. — It's a fight a decade in the making.
An Oklahoma state lawmaker told 2 Works For You retired state employees, police, firefighters and even teachers have not seen a raise since 2008 in their monthly pension payouts.
Cindy Dunn spent nearly four decades in a Sand Springs classroom.
"Thirty-nine years of teaching is watching children grow---you're going to make me cry," Dunn said. "It's watching children grow up in front of you--is seeing them later when they're adults teaching their children and realizing even though you may not realize it at the time you really were a big part of their life."
She's part of a group of retirees now drawing from their state pension.
There's one problem for Dunn.
She's getting her retirement checks calculated at 2008 levels.
The cost of living has gone up significantly since then.
"At one time in our state our retirement systems were the worst-funded systems in the United States and now we've come a long way and it's time to give back to our retirees who had to sacrifice during the time we were building those systems up," said Rep. Avery Frix, R-Muskogee.
State lawmakers want to give these retirees a permanent 2 percent raise.
"We want to make sure that we keep up with inflation and provide our retirees and senior citizens, their funding. Money that they paid into the system," Frix said.
There's even a push right now for a bigger bump.
"We understand that this isn't just the teachers, this is all state employees, but I think we need to talk at 5 percent (COLA increase) and start from there. I really do because they're kind of in the same boat we are," Dunn said.
Dunn said some retirees are struggling to get by.
"When I see teachers that were my teachers and some of them are still living and they qualify for food stamps. They qualify for Medicare Advantage that's not right," Dunn said.
The Social Security Administration just announced a cost of living adjustment of 2.8 percent for 2019 for people who receive those benefits.

Ahmed is in jail on a $1.5 million bail, according to The Star Tribune.
Police responded to the Marathon gas station at 1969 Silver Bell Road in Eagen, Minnesota, just before 7 p.m. on Dec. 19 for a report of a shooting, The Star Tribune reported.
Police found Abukar critically wounded from a gunshot to the head, and a discharged GFL 9mm Luger cartridge lay nearby, according to The Star Tribune.
Abukar was transported to a nearby hospital, where he died the next day, The Star Tribune reported.

A witness later told investigators that he and Abukar drove to the gas station to meet with two other men, according to The Star Tribune. Police did not reveal the nature of the meeting.
When they arrived, the passenger of the waiting vehicle got into the back seat of Abukar's vehicle, where he got into an argument over the position of the seat, The Star Tribune reported.
The men exited the vehicle and a struggle ensued, according to The Star Tribune. Ahmed allegedly fired a single shot, fatally striking Abukar.

Q: Sharepoint online SSO - Missing parameters I have an app that sends out emails to users with a link to a Sharepoint url, such as:
https://mysite.sharepoint.com/mysite/mypage.aspx?param1=true#param2=false

When a user clicks on the link, if he/she is not already signed into Sharepoint, SSO takes over, redirects the user to the login page, and then redirects back to the original page. The issue is that after that redirect, the parameters are removed (so it ends up being https://mysite.sharepoint.com/mysite/mypage.aspx). Is there anything that can be done to prevent that from happening?

We start in darkness with you. You're looking down, and your hair falls over your face and the front of your dress. Behind you, the sky is bright. It's night. You could be anywhere. Turn around fast. There's the sky. Turn back, look down. It's not the sky behind you. On the edges there are stars, but in the middle is what looks like a blue eye rimmed in red. Or a galaxy exploding. Or the sunset edges and the daylight between them held in one round frame. You look like you're crying.
I'm in a dark room, but there's light on my face and a glow like lava behind me. My hands push on someone else's hands. Maybe they're yours. Your arms are bare, and you're hardly visible in the shadows. Beneath our hands, four flat planes grow up into mountains. My peaks climb yours, and your one hand opens like a mouth coming toward me. The ghosts of my sleeves roll up the landscape. A shadow is also a shape.
Look up. There's a circle of pines around us. Their branches start two stories up and melt into the white lace of the sky. The sky gets brighter and closer and bursts into an eggy blossom. The trees split open and then I can't see anything.
You walk up the stairs—or maybe that's me. There are trees and bushes in concrete planters around us, and at the bottom of the steps, a gate. It's spring or summer and cloudy. Maybe I've been here before. Look closer. You walk up the stairs, eyes glazed, suitcase in hand. Your flowered dress matches my skirt. There's a crocheted blanket over the wall you haven't passed yet, and I'm steps below you, following. You look up. Beneath the rim of my hat, I look after you.
Our hair is braided together and runs straight down my back. You lean in, and because you're taller than I am, your head folds over mine. Both of our hair is brown, but brown doesn't say enough. Yours: burnt honey. Mine: coffee bean. You've given me your sweater, which is the red of roses at night, and the flowers on your dress bloom clear without it. Before us is a wall of color. Our backs face whomever looks.
The crocheted blanket is spread across our shoulders. We're still in the park, but this part's mostly concrete, and there's writing over the writing where we sit on the wall. A young tree grows behind us; another emerges from the shadows across the walk. Light trickles through the branches. Somewhere, the sun is setting. Our hair is separate now, and it's all anyone could see of us outside the blanket except a corner of my skirt, which isn't flowered after all. Look over there, I say, and you do.

We are so sorry that our first ever posting on here is a sad one. We spent two blissful weeks on Crete back in May 2004. On the last day we were there the daughters of the Hotel owner were on duty. We paid for the two weeks as we were leaving, and one of the girls put my girlfriends credit card through the machine, but said that the machine was not working. She then used a different machine, and this time it worked. We were surprised that a month later, when my girlfriend recieved her credit card statement we found that the payment had been put through twice. We contacted the owner of the hotel and informed him of the error, emailing him a copy of the credit card statement that clearly showed it. He said he would rectify the mistake at once. And ever since then, he has been promising the same thing. Now he doesnt even bother replying to our increasingly desperate emails.
Can anyone tell us what the best procedure is to follow now? We dont know who to contact over this matter. I was hoping that he would see reason after we threatned to contact the Cretan Authorities over this matter, but he keeps ignoring our emails.
The Hotel in question is still there and is still being run by the same man.
Can some one please advise us?
What a shame you've had such a bad experience. The tourist police help regulate hotels etc and they can investigate complaints. A quick visit from them should make any hotel owner sit up and rectify his 'mistake' !
The phone numbers are on this site, look up 'contents' then "about Crete" - 'useful phone numbers'.
That's why I use to pay cash even if I seem a troglodyte.
If you will not obtain justice as soon as possible, please, let us know the name of that hotel, so as to defend ourselves from such people.
The people you should contact in the first instance are your credit card company. Presumably your friend only signed one slip so that should support your story.
I called the Tourist Police here in Heraklion but they claim that it is not their responsibility because this is a financial issue, not a tourist laws violation. They suggested that a lawyer could help in this case. I could suggest one if you want.
I also tried to contact the Manager of the Tousim Department of Crete to ask for her advice but she was not in her office. I can do that again later if you want, but I doubt if she can give a solution too.
It is a pity that such things happen and I sincerely wish that you find a solution. Perhaps what Tim suggested is a good idea.
Thanks to everyone who has replied to our plea!
Yes, she did only sign one credit card slip. And we have been in touch with the credit card company. But they are limited in what they can do, save to stop accepting the hotel as a customer with them.
I wont give out the name of the hotel just yet, as I do not know if there is a perfectly reasonable explanation..........however, if it does turn out to be recalicitrance on the part of the owner, then I will do so.
We did think about calling the Tourist Police, but as someone pointed out, they may not be in much of a position to assist. However, a visit from them, could only help.
We hope it will not go as far as a soliciter, as the expense would be greater than the debt!!!!
I do trust that the credit card company's restricted action includes not charging your friend for the slip she did not sign - or refunding if they did. Try your local Citizens Advice Bureau if they won't waive the second charge.
"Helping tourists, however, is also one of watchdog EKPIZO's (Greek Consumers' Association: The Quality of Life) priorities. A special team of legal aides work overtime during the summer months assisting tourists resolve disputes with hoteliers and other service providers. For more information about EKPIZO call 210-330-4444 "
Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions. They have all proved useful.
We have got in touch with the Credit Card company and asked them to sort this out. And we have asked them why a charge was put through for the same amount without the accompanying slip.
We want to say that this has not put us off coming back to Crete. Far from it. There is still so much to see, explore, do and enjoy. We will be back!
Well, so much for the integrity of the credit card companies. They have informed us that there is nothing they can do as it has now been six months since the incident took place and we should have contacted them immediately. We have been trying to sort this out with the owner of the hotel for the past six months, getting assurances from him that he was about to repay the money.
I am emailing him one last time, hoping that the calm, friendly approach may do the trick. If that does not work, then I shall have no choice but to name the owner and his jotel on every Cretan Site I can find. And contact a soliciter on Crete to begin legal proceedings against him to recover the money.
I feel rather uncomfotable doing this, but I feel my girlfriend and I have been left with no choice.
I will arrange as soon as possible.
We have still heard nothing from him. I have checked to see if his email is working, and it is. He is still in charge of the hotel. When I have tried to call him the phone is put down rather rapidly.
Everyone from the Cretan police to the credit card companies has told us they cannot or will not help. Maybe someone out there can.
Its just one of those situations.
Doge Hotel has been informed about your posting. That was the best I could do.
Thank you very much Yannis. I really had hoped it would never get this far, its all very distressing. Maybe his conscience will enable him to send the overpayment back now? Heres hoping.
hi dave and jennie - this is a terrible experience you are having. we have been visiting crete for many years, sometimes a few times a year, and have never experienced anything like this.
i'd like to give you a few suggestions that may help.
1. write and email the owner once more. tell him that if you do not receive a full refund of your money within two weeks of the date of your letter then he leaves you with no option but to contact the chief of police on crete to report what amounts to either fraud or misappropriation of your money, even if it means you travelling personally to crete to speak with the police. tell him too that you are also in the process of initiating legal proceedings for return of your money together with all costs involved in the process. tell him too that you are contacting the tax offices on crete to ask if they can be of help to you.
it would be no harm asking the webmaster of this site if he can give you the name of the chief of police as it is better to address your letter to a named person.
2. write again to your credit card company but this time address your letter to the manager, foreign transactions, (don't bother saying you have written to them before). tell him/her clearly what the problem is and enclose photocopy of your statements together with a photocopy of your hotel bill. no harm to mention to that you have been seeking help on a travel forum (print your original posting) - more than likely they will want to be caring infront of readers to a site and therefore may be more willing to help.
in relation to your being told about a six month limit i would also just check privately your terms and conditions of your own credit card to see if this is in fact the case.
3. if the worst comes to the worst, and you do have to go to a solicitor, it may be possible that you can issue proceedings in the country in which you live (providing it is an eec country). the solicitor will then get a judgement against the hotel and this man and then enforce the judgement (including all costs) in greece. you can ask a solicitor where you live if this is possible.
i wish you good luck and i hope something here helps.
I am sorry but, though I can see where welovedonegal is coming from, I have to disagree with his/her advice in some respects.
I am not legally qualified but I have worked in the police and with the Citizens Advice Bureau.
The 'debt' of the duplicate payment is in my opinion a civil debt. I am quite sure that the situation in Crete is the same as elsewhere, i.e. that the police (normal as opposed to tourist) are not interested in civil debts.
I don't know if Crete has the equivalent of the British small claims courts procedure, one of the best ways to recover a smallish debt (small as opposed to many thousands) However, even our Small claims courts procedure is less than satisfactory. First you have to get a judgement in your favour and then you have to enforce it. The first part is relatively easy, the second can be a real problem.
We don't know how much money is involved in this matter but I would suggest that one has to be practical and think about what effort- and importantly expenditure - is worth possibly wasting on trying to recover the duplicate payment. Much as we might like to hire a solicitor and fly him over etc, it is most likely not to be economic especially given that you cannot predict the outcome.
The best way, in my view, is to persist with your credit card company. Do not take "No" for an answer. Hassle them and make it clear that you have a bona fide case, that if you do not receive a refund you are prepared to keep plodding away arguing your case in whatever format you can, that you will soon make them expend, in their executives time, more than is owed to you. Look at the terms and conditions, explore all the avenues of appeal (financial ombudsman?) Make a bloody nuisance of yourself until they are so fed up that they pay up to shut you up. Find out who the CEO and other senior execs are and tell the company you will be writing to them at their home addresses (Nothing but nothing gets prompter action than a CEO having your letter of complaint to read at his home with his breakfast cereal!!!) Consult your CAB about taking on the credit card company.
It may be that you should take the Credit card company in UK to the small claims court as they have charged you for a debit that you have not authorised. I can assure you that such companies take decisions not on what is right or wrong, but on the financial aspect and cheapest way out for them. I doubt very much that they would fight any such action- though don't hold me to it.
By all means try and shame the guy in Crete by writing to the tourist people, but don't place too much hope in that course and certainly don't spend money on a system that you don't know.
Checking back I see that the amount was about �450. Just remember that is only about four hours worth of a solicitors time. You may be able to get a free short interview with a solicitor through the CAB - though I doubt they will have the specialist knowledge for this one in regard to action in Crete-they may be able to help with small claims advice and financial ombudsman etc.
Distasteful though it may be, don't let this matter ruin your life - or opinion of Crete and Cretans.
hi again - i'd just like to clarify a couple of points. in relation to writing to the hotelier mentioning the police and the tax people on crete, i still think that a strongly worded letter to him telling him you are going to pursue this course of action could work. i know for a fact that the business people of crete try to keep their noses clean with these people. they do not like to be highlighted to them as, especially the tax people, can call into any business even in the middle of a busy night and stop all business to do a check on their money matters. this is absolutely definate and i have witnessed it happening on more than one occasion in crete.
i agree with tim that hassle the credit card company will prove helpful. the squeaky wheel gets the oil and all that. i also would imagine that the credit card company are actually at fault for paying out without jennie's signature and this should also be pursued.
in relation to having to go to law, if it is possible to obtain judgement in the uk (and again, you must check this with a uk solicitor), then enforcement is by affidavit and does not involve you personally travelling to crete although enforcement would have to be carried out through a solicitor in crete. the costs involved are quite substantial and this man will be aware of that and given that he is clearly in the wrong i can't see you ending up paying anyone - he will shoulder the burden. and that is why you should mention it to the hotelier too.


A few weeks ago I was on a photographic assignment at a CO3 event and was chatting afterwards with the CEO of a high profile third sector organisation. We were discussing the cut backs in public funding and the fact that many organisations in the sector need to urgently find alternative, or at least supplemental sources of income. If not, they may cease to exist.
Of course it is at this time of financial hardship that our society is in even greater need of the many essential services the third sector provides.
How can the sector continue to reach the community's increasing needs, if it can no longer afford to provide essential, life changing programmes and the staff to deliver them?
The skilful filling-in of funding applications – knowing which boxes to tick and how to steer your organisations profile to chase the funding – is no longer enough. Those who have money to support the work of the sector are now casting a critical eye on results. Now more than ever, third sector organisations need to be able to visibly demonstrate their organisations work in action and the results it achieves.
Many of Avec Photo's clients are voluntary organisations who have already learnt the value of top quality PR photography in demonstrating and promoting the work they do.
Through highly visual fundraising campaigns which capture the vital role they play within the community, they have achieved sustainability and touched the heart of the public and the conscience of the private sector.
Avec Photo is the first social economy photography service in Northern Ireland. It is part of Avec Solutions which is owned by East Belfast Partnership. After ten years of service, Avec knows the sector and the sector knows Avec.
Having already gained a relationship of trust among our clients providing IT and Website support, many are now looking to us to provide the professional photography services which are becoming more and more important in both demonstrating and effectively documenting their work.
Why not give us a call and discover how our Avec Photo's services can provide the solutions you need to survive in tough times.

Q: Error within ggplot: Unknown levels in `f`: NCG Using the data sample and code below, I have created a plot shown in the image below. How can I get rid of NAs in the legend and have a plot with three values: Non_caregivers, Caregivers <14h/w, and Caregivers>=14h/w. I got a warning message of "Unknown levels in f: NCG".

my plot

A: For the facets, reordering can be done by releveling the levels of the factor and specifying the reference level.
For the legend, you're probably better to create a new variable as you did for race and then use that as the fill.
Race %>%
  mutate(race=relevel(factor(str_extract(sample_label,"White|Black|Hispanic")), ref="White"),
         type=str_extract(sample_label, "NCG|caregivers<14h/w|caregivers>=14h/w")) %>%
  ggplot(aes(x =Age_Group_, y = meanTLE_, fill=type, group=sample_label)) + ...

The rest is the same as you have.

The Meteoric Rise of Twist Bioscience and the Wild Demand for DNA: Emily Leproust, CEO
In 2013 Twist Bioscience was a newcomer to a market that most of us thought was saturated, cornered, commoditized—that of synthetic DNA. But Emily Leproust and her co-founders saw something different. They saw "a big market with unhappy customers." Today, with a radically disruptive technology, they are market dominant. Twist is a publicly traded company whose stock has doubled already once since they IPOd last year. Imagine, a DNA synthesis company going public! And then seeing their stock perform so well. This is tricky for the most hyped of tech or biotech startups.
And the demand for DNA is only going up, and dramatically up. When Twist signed a deal with Gingko Bioworks in 2017 for 1 billion bases, that single order was bigger than the entire market two years previous.
Today, for the first time the Twist CEO joins us on the program to talk about where her company came from (another planet?!) and about why there is such demand for DNA. What applications should we know most about? Is all this demand the result of hyped up investment, or are the products going to market?
"Synthetic biology is currently changing our lives and people don't even realize it. People won't say, 'oh that's cool synthetic biology.' They won't. They'll just know they have a leather jacket. And there's no cows harmed in the making of that leather jacket because that leather jacket was created from kampuchea and synthetic biology. And I think that's the future of the impact of our industry."

According to Munnelly, Gen9 is not just another gene synthesis company, but one which will dramatically disrupt the space. The theory is that just as the declining cost of sequencing has enabled new applications for genomics, so too will a drastically reduced price for synthetic genes. Kevin believes we are just at the beginning of a synthetic biology revolution and it's new technology such as his that will enable it. What are these new applications and why hasn't gene synthesis kept pace with sequencing we ask Kevin in today's show.

Obviously, this hasn't been proven by science, if it was, scientists would have proof of life after death. Who knows where this train of thought originally came from; perhaps from the same train of thought that black cats are evil? Which by the way, my black cat, Rhiannon, is so sweet and rarely causes trouble, unlike my white cat, Merlin. Maybe this idea originated with a medium; however, I never heard of this from my medium friends, nor have I come across the concept while doing my own readings.
So what does it mean when you die in a dream? It's the same meaning of the Death card in tarot; this card and dying in your dreams is really about endings. That's right, endings of a chapter in your life to help you transform and grow to a higher level.
1. An actual precognitive dream that yours or someone else's actual death that will occur in the future.
2. To warn you of present or upcoming health issues.
3. Your fear of death is coming into your dream to help resolve it.
4. Past life memories of your death in a prior life.
5. A recent death of a loved one or acquaintance triggers the dream.
6. You have been reading or watching too much television on the topic of death and murders.
7. An unresolved issue or event that you wish would just die.
To deal with the overpopulation of the planet, society made a law that when your social security number was called they would shoot you. I heard my social security number being called. Some men with government uniforms and guns came over to me. I told them, "I don't want to die." Their response was, "You have no choice, turn around so I can shoot you." Which I responded, "I'm not turning around, if you going to shoot me, you're gonna have to shoot me while I'm looking at you." They shoot me in the head and to my astonishment I didn't die!
Would you like to know the interpretation of that dream? This dream symbolized how I needed to proceed to the next phase of my life by being self-employed in a field that wasn't accepted by mainstream society. Some people in society would think my work was wrong or harmful, yet I needed to do it. By keeping to my morals and boundaries this would transform me. Ta dah! By listening to my dream and intuition, I went through a transformation.
How about you? Did you ever died in your dream?

One of the things I love about Omaha is that it's big enough that it feels like a real city, but small enough that it seems like there's only ever a few degrees of separation from anyone person. This happened with Brock and Rachelle's engagement photos – I showed a few of the early shots to my girlfriend and she recognized Rachelle as someone she grew up with and was in the same youth group with. She texted a picture to her mom who sent it off to Rachelle and her mom who were confused how she got it since I hadn't finished and delivered the session yet.
