Interactive Elevation
The walk starts in Budleigh Salterton at the Public Hall. There is a frequent bus service (Numbers 157 & 357) that run between Exmouth and Budleigh Salterton. To get to the nearest bus stop from the Grand Hotel, turn left from the seafront entrance and cross Morton Road, then walk up Alexandra Terrace, following the edge of Manor Gardens up Beacon Hill. Cross the roundabout and walk up Tower Street for about 100yds, then turn left into Rolle Street and the bus stop is about 80yds on the right, outside the Savoy Cinema (a 5 minute walk).
If you come by car, there is a car park behind the Public Hall (postcode EX9 6RJ).
From Budleigh Salterton's Public Hall walk northwards through the park beside Station Road, carrying on along Moor Lane to come out at the top of Dark Lane, by the school.
Turn right onto Dark Lane, and then almost immediately left, to carry on in the original direction up Bedlands Lane.
From the top of Bedlands Lane turn left onto the B3178 and then right a moment later, to walk up Bear Lane.
At the railway bridge pick up the cycle path on your left, leading towards Exmouth, and follow it through the woods to Castle Lane.
This is part of the Budleigh - Exmouth Cycleway, which runs along the former railway line which linked Budleigh Salterton and Exmouth.
Work started on the railway line in 1899, and it took four years for the labourers to construct its numerous bridges and embankments and cut its path through Knowle Hill. They did this using picks and shovels, with the help of two 'steam navvies' - steam shovels - which they employed at either end of the cutting, to meet in the middle. The line never reached its full potential, however, and by the 1950s was scarcely used at all. In 1963 it fell foul of the infamous Beeching report, 'The Reshaping of British Railways' and the last train ran in 1967.
As is the case elsewhere, however, the rail traveller's loss is the walker's and cyclist's gain. Many of the former railway lines in the south west have been redeployed as cyclepaths and footpaths. Most of these are broad and flat and have been surfaced with tarmac, making the peaceful countryside they travel through accessible to a wide range of users.
In a tidy piece of history, the Budleigh-Exmouth Cycleway was officially opened in 1998 by Lord Clinton, a relative of Mrs Williams-Drummond, daughter of Lady Gertrude Rolle and the honorary driver of the first train from Tipton St John to Budleigh, in 1897.
The surrounding woods and hedges are home to a plethora of wildlife, including foxes and badgers, dormice and bats, adders and lizards, and butterflies, dragonflies and rare wood crickets.
Turn left up onto the path to Castle Lane, turning onto the lane at the top to head roughly southwards.
When Castle Lane turns sharply right, take the footpath ahead which continues in your direction, and follow this alongside the Golf Club for about a mile, ignoring the Littleham Church path which crosses yours, also ignoring the detours to the left shortly afterwards. Follow the waymarkers around to the right when they cross the golf course, turning off again to the left at the end.
Be aware of the golfers around you and the possibility of flying balls as you cross the golf course, and keep dogs under control here.
Turn left when you come to the South West Coast Path, and follow it for about three quarters of a mile towards Budleigh Salterton. Alternatively you can turn right and follow the Coast Path back to Exmouth - it's about 4 miles to the hotel.
East Devon is particularly noteworthy for its red sandstone formations, dating back to the Triassic period, some 245-240 million years ago. The red cliffs here are a sample of the stunning rock formations which have earned the 'Jurassic Coast' of East Devon and Dorset World Heritage status.
At the highest point on this part of the coast you will come to a trig point. This is West Down Beacon, once a fire beacon, and later a signal station during the Napoleonic Wars.
By 1795, before the Napoleonic Wars began, Britain was already in conflict with France and the Admiralty needed a faster means of communication than the current system of horseback messengers. A network of signal stations was established, connecting the Admiralty in London with its fleet ports along the south coast. These included Dawlish Head and Berry Head on one side of West Down Beacon, and Peak Hill and Beer Head on the other.
This was before the invention of the electrical telegraph, and the signalling system used was known as an optical telegraph, which required a direct line of sight between the signal stations. Standing on West Down Beacon on a good day, you can see why it was chosen: there is excellent visibility in all directions.
Signals consisted of flags and balls, and the system warned merchant vessels as well as RN cruisers of where the French privateers where lurking. Signals used included: 1 ball above a flag for an enemy frigate or frigates; 2 balls above a flag for a small cruiser; 3 balls above a flag for an enemy vessel close under the land. Eventually, this system was replaced with a semaphore telegraph – a high pole with hinged signal arms, ironically devised by the French themselves during the Napoleonic Wars!
The signal stations were also used to warn of suspected smuggling activities, and if goods were seized as a result of information received in this way, the signal station concerned would be entitled to a share of the booty.
From West Down Beacon the Coast Path descends gently into Budleigh Salterton. Carry on along it, past the first few houses, until you come to an open green area. At the far end of this field turn left, to walk up Victoria Place and onto the B3178 road beyond.
Turn right here, and then take the next left, into Station Road, to return to the start of the walk.

Effective Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) relies in part upon accurate but easily conducted measurements of sperm motion parameters. Several established methods are widely used to assess possible reasons for male infertility, in human and veterinary Andrology clinics. Computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) devices quantitatively assess sperm motion parameters, which have been defined by the World Health Organization, and include the percentage of motile cells in a sample and the motion characteristics of individual cells, such as curvilinear velocity (VCL), average path velocity (VAP) and straight line velocity (VSL). However, CASA analyses fail to define hyperactive sperm motility or determine the prevalence of hyperactively motile sperm in the sample. Hyperactively motile sperm swim in an erratic pattern, and this occurs only at the very end of sperm capacitation, a series of biochemical changes occurring in a sperm which enables it to fertilize an oocyte. The computational challenge for detecting hyperactivated sperm motility lies in precisely modeling sperm movement changes that accurately reflect the sperm's biomedical function, by developing an algorithm that detects and classifies these unique motility patterns. Currently, no such algorithms reliably classify hyperactivated spermatozoa. Therefore, several methods to automatically identify and classify hyperactivated spermatozoa trajectories are described and their performance compared to 'the gold standard' of visual classification, by experts.
The methods considered were: two existing methods, a mathematical modification to one of these, and three new methods, each examined independently and then two were combined to produce an integrated approach.
Evaluation of each method was performed by using each to analyze an initial data set containing tracks of hyperactivated and progressive sperm, which had been classified by experts in the field, and then to analyze data sets obtained from actual laboratory samples. Classifications as well as misclassifications were recorded in diffusion matrices. Two methods, the Minimum Bounding Square Ratio (MBSR) and the Rotated Rectangular Linearity (RRL) were more effective in accurately detecting hyperactivated sperm and were similar in correctly classifying hyperactivated sperm. However, RRL misclassified twice as many sperm as MBSR. MBSR also outperformed the other methods in correctly classifying progressively motile sperm and sperm exhibiting transitional motility.
After developing this algorithm, it was applied to evaluate sperm from a large experiment to determine if sperm treated with different phosphodiesterase inhibitors, used in erectile dysfunction drugs, exhibit sperm motility. The experiment would not have been possible without these new computer algorithms. Taken together, this research demonstrates that newly developed algorithms can be used to identify critically important features of sperm, such as hyperactivity. One algorithm, MBSR may become an important tool improving Assisted Reproductive Technology's success

There are over 3,000 Young Carers in East Sussex and according to BBC research there could be another 11,000 hidden Young Carers! It is important that Young Carers know that they are not alone in their caring role.
Being a Young Carer can have a negative impact on a Young Person such as low confidence and self-esteem, low educational attendance & attainment and poor physical & mental health. It is East Sussex Young Carers aim to reduce the negative and highlight the positive impact of being a carer such as increased resilience, empathy, non-judgemental attitude and caring nature.
East Sussex Young Carers provided by Imago funded by East Sussex County Council, supports Young Carers aged 5-18 who are responsible for caring for a family member with a long-term illness, disability, mental health or substance misuse issues.
ESYC works with schools, communities, and statutory and voluntary agencies to identify hidden young carers. Following assessment, ESYC offer a range of short-term interventions including signposting, one-to-one support, in school support and workshops.
ESYC also offer training and information to professionals.
If you are aged 16+ and caring for an adult, you can complete an on-line self-assessment, this is an opportunity to tell Adult Social Care about your caring role, your needs as a carer and the things you think will help.
The carer's self-assessment form is easy to complete and if you need support, Adult Social Care or East Sussex Young Carers are happy to help.
If you are under 16 years of age, you can ask for a carers assessment from East Sussex Young Carers.

Lorna Slater (born 27 September 1975) is a Canadian politician in Scotland, who has served as Minister for Green Skills, Circular Economy and Biodiversity in the Scottish Government since 2021. She has served as co-leader of the Scottish Greens alongside Patrick Harvie since 2019, and is one of the first Green politicians in the UK to serve as a government minister. Slater has been a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for the Lothian region since 2021.

Born in Alberta, Canada, Slater moved to Scotland in 2000 and worked as an engineer in the renewable energy sector. She became politically involved in the Scottish Greens and was a candidate in the 2016 Scottish Parliament election, but failed to win a seat.

In 2019, Slater replaced Maggie Chapman as co-leader of the Scottish Greens in the co-leadership election. She was the candidate for the Edinburgh Northern and Leith constituency in the 2021 Scottish Parliament election. Although she failed to win, she was elected as an additional member for the Lothian region. Following a power-sharing agreement with the SNP, Slater was promoted to the Scottish Government as a junior minister in the third Sturgeon government.

Early life and engineering career
Lorna Slater was born in Calgary in the Canadian province of Alberta. She was educated at the Western Canada High School. From 1993 to 2000, she attended the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, where she gained a degree in electro-mechanical engineering design.

In 2000, a month after she was due to graduate, she purchased a one-way ticket to Glasgow and planned to travel across Europe for two years, but ended up staying in Scotland. After moving there, she worked as an engineer in the renewables sector, then later as a project manager.

In 2018, she was one of three women from Scotland awarded a place on the Homeward Bound international leadership development programme and this included a trip to Antarctica the following year, where she had studied the effects of climate change.

Early political career
Slater became politically involved during the run-up to the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, where she campaigned in favour of Scottish independence.

Slater has been an election candidate for the Scottish Greens several times. At the 2016 Scottish Parliament election, the party named her third on the Lothian list, while in 2017 general election, she was one of only three candidates fielded by the Scottish Greens, standing for Edinburgh North and Leith.

In April 2019, in a City of Edinburgh Council by-election for the Leith Walk ward, she took a 25.5 per cent share of first preference votes, finishing second. She was co-convener of the Scottish Greens Operations Committee when she was named second on the list of the party's candidates for the 2019 European Parliament election.

Also in 2019, Slater came third in the selection for the Green Party's Lothian list. Alison Johnstone won 191 first votes, Andy Wightman 133 votes and Slater 36 votes.

Co-leader of the Scottish Greens

Co-leadership election bid
Changes to the Scottish Greens' constitution meant the positions of co-conveners were abolished in favour of the newly established positions of co-leaders. In the run up to the 2019 Scottish Greens co-leadership election, Slater announced her candidacy via Twitter. When announcing her candidacy, she stated that the party was ready for a "fresh new start." Upon winning, she said that she wanted to get more women and non-binary people elected, and to gain more seats than ever before at the 2021 Scottish Parliament election.

On 1 August 2019, the results were announced and Slater replaced Maggie Chapman as the female co-leader (formerly co-convenor). She gained 30.2%, coming second place. She is serving alongside Patrick Harvie for a two-year term. As Slater was not a member of the Scottish Parliament, Alison Johnstone served as co-leader of the Scottish Greens within the Scottish Parliament, until the 2021 Scottish Parliament election.

2021 election campaign

Slater became a prominent figure in the lead up to the Scottish parliamentary election, with her being featured in TV Debates and interviews. In the first televised debate on BBC Scotland, Slater urged action on climate change, stating; "Science tells us we have less than 10 years before the climate breakdown goes past the point of no return. The time to act is now." She also reinstated how the Scottish Greens would support legislation on another referendum on Scottish independence within the "next term of parliament".

In the 2021 election to the 6th Scottish Parliament, the Scottish Greens saw their best result ever. The party gained 8.1% of votes on the regional list, earning two additional seats. As the Scottish National Party was one seat away from a majority, the Greens' gain in the election created a pro-independence majority. Slater predicted the Greens "will have more influence than ever".

Member of the Scottish Parliament; 2021 to present
Slater stood as the Greens' candidate for the Edinburgh Northern and Leith constituency in the 2021 Scottish Parliament election. She gained 13.1% of the votes, but failed to win the seat, coming third. Although Slater was unsuccessful in winning the constituency, she was second on the party list vote for the Lothian region, and was elected as an additional member.

Slater is a member of the Scottish Parliament's Economy and Fair Work Committee. She is the Scottish Greens' Spokesperson on Economic Recovery and Green Industrial Strategy.

Maiden speech

On 18 May 2021, Slater delivered her maiden speech to the Scottish Parliament. She called on all the parties to "work constructively and across party lines" to make transformative change. She also called on for the parliament to build a case for Scotland to leave the United Kingdom and believes the nation should vote again in another independence referendum.

COVID-19 rules breach
On 10 June 2021, a picture was shared on social media which showed Slater and other members of the Greens, including co-leader Patrick Harvie and MSP for West Scotland Ross Greer, breaching social distancing measures. At the time only three households were allowed meet indoors. However, The Scottish Sun reported that Slater, Harvie, Greer and another Green Party member were pictured at a bar in Edinburgh. Slater responded, "This was an honest mistake, we're kicking ourselves and we apologise unreservedly".

Bute House Agreement
In August 2021 after weeks of talks, she was at Bute House with co-leader Patrick Harvie and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to announce a power-sharing agreement that would see the Green party in government for the first time in the United Kingdom. There was no agreement on oil and gas exploration. As part of the agreement the Green Party would have two ministers in government.

Junior minister; 2021 to present
On 30 August 2021, Slater was appointed as a junior minister in the Scottish Government as Minister for Green Skills, Circular Economy and Biodiversity. She and Harvie are the first Green Party politicians in both Scottish and UK political history to serve in government.

In November 2021 Slater announced that a flagship recycling scheme for drinks containers had been delayed yet again. Although prior to her election Slater had told voters the scheme "needs doing", in government she said it was proving too tricky. Greenpeace said such, "a shambolic delay to the long awaited deposit return scheme is embarrassing for a government which loves to shout about its green credentials."

Personal life
Slater has autism and has written about living with the condition. She is also a hobby aerialist and has a pet bearded dragon called Bellamy, named after David Bellamy.

A coalition of former international leaders gathered in New York City on Tuesday to discuss the release of their new report calling for a complete overhaul of drug policies around the world, including legalization of psychoactive substances like marijuana.
In a discussion moderated by The Huffington Post's Washington bureau chief, Ryan Grim, 10 members of the Global Commission on Drug Policy urged all governments to embrace models that include decriminalization of consumption, legal regulation of drug markets and strategic refocusing of criminal enforcement.
Sound policy, former Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso said, "does not allow human rights to be put aside in order to extend the repression of drugs."
The commission consists of 21 former presidents and other prominent individuals who are trying to advance "humane and effective ways to reduce the harm caused by drugs to people and societies." Its members include Cardoso; former Swiss President Ruth Dreifuss; former Colombian President César Gaviria; former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo; Louise Arbour, former United Nations high commissioner for human rights; and Virgin Group founder Richard Branson.
Cardoso said that a new approach to drugs should stress "the importance of public health" and ensure that drug users have access to the health care system.
Legalizing marijuana and other illicit substances "strengthens the fight against cartels," Gaviria argued.
While sweeping overnight change in global drug policy is likely impossible, Cardoso said that the world's governments must "put pressure" on the United Nations before the 2016 U.N. General Assembly Special Session on Drugs (UNGASS) to begin incremental change in the "inadequate" strategies of the "war on drugs" found in current international conventions.
The "U.N. system" starts with "a utopian goal, that prohibition will take us to a world that is free of drugs," according to Zedillo. But in fact, he said, "Consumption has been increasing. Prohibition has created a disaster, not a world free of drugs."
Zedillo was referencing a previous UNGASS meeting in 1998 that called for a "drug-free world" -- a goal the commissioners argue isn't realistic.
"We cannot abolish the use of drugs," Cardoso said. "So we need cultural modification."
Perhaps the gap between the commission's recommendations and U.N. policies was clearest during the question-and-answer portion of the conference, when an individual who identified herself as a representative from the U.N. Office of Drugs and Crime suggested that it is futile to revamp drug policies because criminal organizations will just move to another illegal trade if they are pushed out of drugs.
"United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime, it's interesting it's not called the U.N. Office of Drugs and Health," responded Arbour, noting how the very name of the office sets its focus. "We would like to see the World Health Organization, U.N. Women and UNAIDS to form a true partnership to revisit these completely failed policies."
Zedillo accused the U.N. of being a "straitjacket" on efforts to adopt new policies. "2016 is an opportunity to start a new international regime where governments can really control this drug problem. Our objective is to have a framework that empowers governments to pursue more rational policies," he added. "The specifics of those policies are to be defined by those governments and their civil societies."
Rely on alternatives to incarceration for non-violent, low-level participants in illicit drug markets such as farmers, couriers and others involved in the production, transport and sale of illicit drugs.
The report comes as punishment-oriented drug policies around the world are already being reconsidered and, within some countries, drastically reshaped.
Cardoso said there were "experiments going well around the world," including the United States. "We have experiences in Portugal since 1991, where they have decriminalized the use of drugs. Users get treatment assistance but are not put in jail. It has been very effective in Portugal; the results are quite clear," he said. Cardoso also noted drug policy reforms in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain and Uruguay.
In 2013, Uruguay became the first country in the world to approve legal regulation of the production, distribution and sale of marijuana. While the U.S. government continues to ban marijuana in nearly all instances, two states -- Colorado and Washington -- have legalized the recreational use of the drug within their borders. Twenty-three states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana for medical use, and many more states are expected to consider legalization in some form in the coming years.
"These world leaders have seen, from their own experience, how the failed war on drugs harms countries and populations," said Tom Angell, chairman of Marijuana Majority, in an interview with The Huffington Post. He urged President Barack Obama to side with them.
"I have no doubt that President Obama will evolve and join this group and the majority of Americans in at least endorsing the legalization of marijuana, just as he did with marriage equality," Angell said. "The only question is if this evolution will occur before or after his term as president ends. I'm sure the global commission's members would welcome him to their ranks as one more former head of state on the record for legalization, but it'll be a lot more impactful if he undergoes this transformation while he still has the power to change failed policies that harm people every day."

and Virgin Group founder Richard Branson.
when i was at university Richard Branson gave a invitation lecture to the business students.. my course was a joint hons in Business with marketing management and psychology and so i attended. It was a jam packed lecture theatre i can tell you.
Someone asked him in the Q&A session about the marijuana and legalisation and he said that the Virgin group looked forward to this and that they even had their packet designs done for retail joints with the virgin branding.
So his involvement i would say is hardly altruistic..lol he wants it legalised/decriminalised for his own financial gain.
mind you...... at least he wants it sorted even for those reasons rather than this mess we have at the moment.
The big business folks are in it for the money and nothing else. That's okay with me. All of us moving towards the same goal is good. As long as these useful plant teachers, medicines, entheogens and other substances are removed from their currently illegal statuses, we are going the right way. Just like the internet, they don't see the big picture of what that kind of move would mean. The first step is moving them from being governed by the legal system to the medical system. Removing that stigma will allow the more fundamental truths to make themselves known. The important part is allowing people to make informed decisions about if they wish to use these substances or not and for the substances to be prepared correctly and safely. Then they can be used in the proper set and settings and with only fear of the substance ;) and not fear of being arrested for using them.
That's only the starting point. The personal growth and healing that can be done from that fundamental change will be a profound one as any who have experienced a profound psychedelic experience will attest. Just like the internet, those changes will be society changing in ways we may not be able to see.

Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Enda Kenny has called on President Barack Obama to put an end to the US government's delays in granting the permit Norwegian Airlines needs to establish a Cork to Boston route. Kenny appealed for "common sense" in dealing with the matter.
Kenny revealed he has twice spoken to Obama about the proposed new serivce, which look set to slash the current costs of air travel between Ireland and the US. The Taoiseach indicated he would also broach the issue with Obama's successor after the November elections if it became necessary.
Despite making a tentative decision in April 2016 to grant a foreign carrier permit to the Irish-based airline Norwegian Air International (NAI)—a subsidiary of low-fares giant Norwegian Air—the US Department of Transport has failed to confirm the licence amid protests over the new routes from labor unions and politicians. Among the high-profile politicians who stand with trade unions against the permit is Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
"We have had discussions at a European level and at an American level. You cannot get any higher than the American president," Kenny said.
"If the matter becomes approved in the meantime, there will be no need for arbitration," said the Taoiseach.
NAI originally planned to begin a Cork to Boston route this year and add a Cork-New York route in 2017. The direct service between Boston and Cork is expected to be offered by the budget carrier four to five days a week and cost between $300 and $350 for a round trip.
The Irish leader believes that the such a massive reduction in fares would have an enormous effect on tourism between Ireland and the US, comparing Norwegian Air to Irish budget carrier Ryanair in terms of the effect it could play on international travel.
"The opportunity for Norwegian to fly from Ireland to the States will have the capacity to do for long haul what Ryanair did for (European) short haul with enormous opportunities for both sides," he concluded.
The delays also come as a massive blow for Cork City, which has been battling for 25 years to establish its own route to the US.
"We have simply got to keep the pressure on to secure this service," said Cork Senator Jerry Buttimer.
NAI first filed their application for the routes two years before the tentative decision in April and had hoped to launch the service this summer. As it stands, services would not be able to commence until after May 2017, with the decision expected to be pushed back even further until after the Presidential elections.
"In the year since Norwegian announced plans for transatlantic routes from Cork, we have seen tremendous support from the public, Cork Airport, the Irish Government, the EU and many others," said a spokesperson for the company.
Despite polls showing that the opening of the routes is welcomed in Ireland, unions have accused the European airline of planning to source their employees in Asia, an accusation NAI has vehemently denied. The budget carrier is confident they are entitled to the route permit and that the matter will be resolved in their favor.

Q: Trouble solving uninitialised value error given by Valgrind I'm currently writing a test program that parses input from a stream. I won't go into too much detail about this program but I am currently trying to parse alphanumeric characters and then assign them to a temp string, temp[100]. After all valid characters are assigned to temp, I allocate memory and strncpy to the allocated string variable.
Valgrind complains about my two usages of strlen and my single use of strncpy. Why is this? It complains about an uninitialised value but I made it clear that it won't do any allocation unless there are characters inside temp. Any suggestions?
char *name(char a)
{
    int x;
    char c;
    char *returnName = 0;
    char temp[100];
    int i = 0;

    /* Ensures no character is skipped */
    temp[i] = a;
    i++;

    /* Fill temp one character at a time */
    while((x = getchar()) != EOF)
    {
        c = (char)x;

        /* Valid characters are assigned */
        if((isalnum(c)) || c == '_')
        {
            temp[i] = c;
            i++;
        }

        /* As soon as invalid character appears, exit loop */
        else
            break;
    }

    /* Make sure temp is not NULL before mallocing */
    if(temp[0] != '\0') /* Thank you Alter Mann for this fix */
    {
        printf("Before malloc\n");
        returnName = malloc(sizeof(char)*strlen(temp)+1);
        printf("After malloc before strncpy\n");
        strncpy(returnName, temp, strlen(temp)+1);
        printf("After strncpy before return\n");
        return returnName;
    }

    /* If nothing is assigned, return NULL */
    return NULL;
}

A: Here:
if(temp != NULL)

You need to check
if(temp[0] != '\0')

temp is an array, not a pointer.
And (as pointed out by Paul Griffiths), NUL-terminate your string after the while loop:
temp[i] = '\0';

A: You never null-terminated your string in temp, so both strlen() and strcpy() are reading past the initialized values in your array, hence the uninitialized value errors Valgrind is giving you.
Change:
char temp[100];

to:
char temp[100] = {0};

and you should be good.

RICHMOND, Va. -- The Chief Operating Officer for the Richmond Public School system told the School Board Monday night that immediately firing bus drivers for speeding would result in massive delays along bus routes.
Tommy Kranz was responding to a question from board member Kim Gray after a CBS 6 investigation revealed hundreds of school buses speeding over the 2015-16 school year.
"We realize that it's a serious problem," Kranz said.
Kranz told the board about a new set of school bus speeding data.
"From September 6 to October 13, which is a period of 28 days, we have reported 1,217 speeding instances," Kranz said.
Our investigation uncovered speeding alert data from GPS systems embedded in the buses that tracked hundreds of buses speeding during the last couple of months of the previous school year.
Kranz told the board, yes, the numbers sounded bad, but the most recent data only accounted for a small percentage of the total bus routes run.
"That 1,217 instances represent 3.95 percent of our total number of routes run during that time," Kranz said.
He said calls to take action immediately against speeding drivers would result in delays along every bus route because it takes 12 weeks to hire a new driver.
"There is no way that we can hire enough drivers and or hold the buses," Kranz said.
Instead, he said the system will work to better train drivers immediately.
"This is one where we need to do some education, which they've seen it now on the TVs," Kranz said.
Kranz said he's working to develop a new policy for using the data to discipline drivers in the future.

Your insurance company isn't always your best friend, but they can be your only friend when disaster hits and able to help restore you financially if you selected the policy with the best coverage.
If you read your homeowners insurance policy carefully, you will realize that your home is not covered unless someone is occupying it full time. In other words, if you are going to be away from your home and no one will be living in it for an extended period of time, you may want to look into empty house insurance. However, this type of home insurance can be extremely expensive. In some cases, it can be five to ten times more expensive that your standard homeowners policy. There are other things you can do to offset the cost.
If you find yourself in the position of having no other choice than to purchase empty house insurance, you want to purchase it only for the amount of time that you will be out of the home. You can always extend coverage, but it's harder to cut back on time you've already bought.
Do You Agree With Short Term Home Insurance Quotes For Professionals in Cape town?
Our homes are likely to be the most valuable possession we will ever own; like any valuable possession it is important to make sure that your home is adequately protected should the worst happen. House insurance is the primary way in which people can protect their homes or at least the financial outlay of repairing or rebuilding it in the event of a catastrophe. However, whilst house insurance will normally cover a whole range of different circumstances it is massively important to consider specialist policy inclusions such as flood insurance if you live in an especially flood prone area.
Flooding is a huge problem in certain areas of the UK. If your house becomes uninsurable due to regular, persistent flooding this often makes it unsellable, particularly as mortgages are granted on the condition that the house will be insured. The other downside to not having insurance is that if damage does occur, you will be left to foot the bill. This is a particular problem considering that the average repair costs for a house, flooded to a level of a round two feet for just two days, is around eighteen thousand pounds.
If you do find yourself in a high risk house it is possible to make a difference to your premiums by following a few different actions. Installing flood defences into your home such as door and window barriers as well as vents and service closures for the drains is a good idea to protect your house from moderate flooding and should help in bringing the cost of premiums down.

This is very sad....a Sims Online video...
Well, I never was as sad with the old Interhogan city "crew"/clique I was in busting up and leaving, partly because I still keep in touch with most of them through Yahoo Messenger (all that I could get the IDs off of anyway and that still would want to keep in touch, there's a few that left the game entirely before I could get outside contact info)....
But this is sad and it's a still ongoing phenomenon since everyone that does this has the excuses "The game is boring, so much work, you do one thing so much and all you do is watch your sim do it....the city is so quiet and dead and there's nothing to do....and EA does not update the game...waaa"

Taking Back Control: Motive and Intention When Opposing Lease Renewal
The Supreme Court has recently ruled* against a landlord invoking "ground (f)" to oppose a tenant's lease renewal under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 and held that the intention to carry out substantial works must exist independently of the tenant's statutory claim to a new tenancy.
Unless a business lease has been contracted out of the 1954 Act, the tenant has rights to renew the lease on expiry of the contractual term.
A landlord has limited grounds under the 1954 Act to object to a tenant's right to renew its lease. One of these grounds (known by the abbreviation "ground (f)") is found in Section 30 (1) (f) of the 1954 Act, which provides that a landlord may oppose the grant of a new tenancy on the ground
"that on the termination of the current tenancy the landlord intends to demolish or reconstruct the premises comprised in the holding or a substantial part of those premises or to carry out substantial work of construction on the holding or part thereof and that he could not reasonably do so without obtaining possession of the holding..."
Section 31A (which was inserted by the Law of Property Act 1969, section 7(1)), provides:
"(1) Where the landlord opposes an application under section 24(1) of this Act on the ground specified in paragraph (f) of section 30(1) of this Act … the court shall not hold that the landlord could not reasonably carry out the demolition, reconstruction or work of construction intended without obtaining possession of the holding if –
(a) the tenant agrees to the inclusion in the terms of the new tenancy of terms giving the landlord access and other facilities for carrying out the work intended and, given that access and those facilities, the landlord could reasonably carry out the work without obtaining possession of the holding and without interfering to a substantial extent or for a substantial time with the use of the holding for the purposes of the business carried on by the tenant; or
(b) the tenant is willing to accept a tenancy of an economically separable part of the holding and either paragraph (a) of this section is satisfied with respect to that part or possession of the remainder of the holding would be reasonably sufficient to enable the landlord to carry out the intended work."
There have been many cases over the years examining the extent of the works required to satisfy the ground (f) test; on what "intends" means in this context; whether the landlord's motive for doing the works is relevant; and the point in the process when that intention should be assessed.
This case focusses on the landlord's intention and motive when asserting its rights under ground (f).
When considering a landlord's actions, the landlord's intention and the motives that lie behind that intention become intertwined.
Let's briefly look first at the outline facts of the case.
· The landlord (itself a leaseholder) wanted to take back control of part of a building sublet to an occupier using it as an art gallery, showroom and archive.
· The landlord proposed a scheme of works to be carried out in the sublet premises that were sufficiently disruptive that the tenant would have to move out for the landlord to carry them out (to satisfy the last part of ground (f)).
· In accordance with a common practice in this field, the landlord gave an undertaking to the court to carry out the works if a new tenancy was refused.
· However, crucially the landlord admitted that the works (which had been costed at nearly £780,000 plus VAT) would not be carried out if the tenant left the premises voluntarily. The landlord submitted that "the works are thoroughly intended because they are a way of obtaining possession. That is all there is to it" and that the scheme was "designed purely for the purpose of satisfying ground (f)".
· It was also accepted that significant parts of the works were useless. Although the works themselves required no planning permission, it would be impossible to make any use of them at all without planning permission for change of use, which the landlord did not intend to seek.
· In other words, the landlord intended to carry out the works if they were necessary to get rid of the tenant, but it did not intend to carry them out if it were not necessary to do so for that purpose, for example if the tenant agreed to go voluntarily, or if it were found possible to be able to carry them out by exercising a right of entry without obtaining vacant possession.
The Supreme Court (in a leapfrog appeal from the High Court) reversed the decision at first instance and found in favour of the tenant, ruling that:
· To succeed under ground (f), the landlord's intention to carry out the works cannot be conditional on whether the tenant chooses to assert its claim to a new tenancy – the intention must be "fixed and settled"; and
· The "acid test" is whether the landlord would intend to do the same works if the tenant left the premises voluntarily.
· On the facts, the tenant's possession of the premises did not obstruct the landlord's intended works and the landlord did not intend to carry them out if the tenant persuaded the court that the works could reasonably be carried out while the tenant remained in possession.
It is no longer enough for a landlord just to show that it has a firm and settled intention to carry out the works and that it has a reasonable prospect of doing so.
The "acid test" means a landlord must prove that it would carry out the same proposed works even if the tenant decided to leave the premises voluntarily. In other words, this intention must exist independently of the tenant's right to a new tenancy and must not be conditional on the tenant deciding to assert its claim to a new tenancy.
The lead judgment given by Lord Sumption, and the supporting judgment of Lord Briggs, both contain paragraphs analysing the questions of motive and intention. I repeat some of them here to give you a flavour of how difficult it is to frame such considerations, which have nevertheless been skilfully distilled into the acid test described above.
From Lord Sumption:
"This appeal does not, as it seems to me, turn on the landlord's motive or purpose, nor on the objective reasonableness of its proposals. It turns on the nature or quality of the intention that ground (f) requires. The entire value of the works proposed by this landlord consists in getting rid of the tenant and not in any benefit to be derived from the reconstruction itself." [Para 17]
"Just as the landlord's motive or purpose, although irrelevant in themselves, may be investigated at trial as evidence for the genuineness of his professed intention to carry out the works, so also they may be relevant as evidence of the conditional character of that intention. In both cases, the landlord's motive and purpose are being examined only because inferences may be drawn from them about his real intentions." [Para 21]
Lord Briggs addressed the fact that it is the landlord's intention at the date of the hearing that is relevant; a principle established by prior case law. Here are some extracts from his judgment:
"By the time of the hearing these alternative intentions about what if any works the landlord will do if the tenant leaves voluntarily will usually just be past history. The tenant will by then have committed substantial costs, and risked liability for the landlord's costs, in pursuing its claim for a new tenancy to a hard-fought hearing. The prospect of voluntary departure may have receded to a purely theoretical irrelevance, like a cloud the size of a man's hand. In such a case the landlord may no longer have any relevant intention in relation to that hypothetical and indeed counter-factual possibility. In some cases the tenant may from the outset have manifested such a determination to seek a new tenancy at all costs that voluntary departure may never have been a sufficient possibility for the landlord to have given it a moment's thought, still less formed an intention about it. To the question in cross examination: "does your company now intend to carry out these works if the tenant goes voluntarily", the landlord's witness might say, with complete honesty, as at the hearing date, that she and her fellow directors don't waste their valuable time discussing irrelevant hypothetical possibilities." [Para 27]
"It is to escape this forensic cul-de-sac that legitimate recourse may now have to be had to a forensic examination of the landlord's purpose or motive, as Lord Sumption suggests." [Para 28]
"There is nothing hypothetical or counter-factual about testing the type or quality of the landlord's intention, as at the time of the hearing, by an analysis of the purpose or motive behind it. The disqualifying underlying purpose (just to get rid of the tenant) is a continuing aspect of the landlord's then current intention, even if the direct question whether, in other circumstances (the tenant going voluntarily), the landlord would have intended to do the relevant works appears hypothetical and even counter-factual." [Para 30]
"The only legitimate purpose of the examination of purpose, beyond testing the genuineness of the landlord's intention, will be to enable the court to decide whether the landlord would have done the relevant works if the tenant had left voluntarily. This is, as Lord Sumption explains, the acid test of the type or quality of intention under section 30(1)(f)". [Para 31]
Questions of motive and intention, by their nature subjective, can seem to go around in conceptual circles.
Motive is not a relevant test in itself under ground (f) – the word motive is not used in the 1954 Act wording. However, by the Court saying that the intention to carry out the works must exist regardless of whether the tenant vacates the premises, this brings back into question the landlord's motive for wanting to do the works.
Therefore, Lord Sumption stressed that although the landlord's purpose or motive are irrelevant to ground (f), they are nevertheless material for testing whether such a firm and settled intention to carry out the works exists.
It is irrelevant whether a landlord's intention is reasonable or whether reasonable changes to the works could be made to allow the tenant's continued possession.
The "acid test" framed by Lord Sumption distils these questions into a conditionality test.
Put simply, are these works that the landlord intends to carry out even if the tenant vacates?
It may seem remarkable given how many years have passed since the 1954 Act came into being, but this is now an extra hurdle for a landlord to overcome when relying on ground (f).
The outcome of this case will undoubtedly strengthen the hand of tenants in some contested lease renewals where the landlord is relying on ground (f).
Remember though that in this case the landlord admitted that the works were designed to meet the ground (f) test, and that they would not be carried out if the tenant left the premises voluntarily.
The landlord therefore admitted that its intention to carry out the works was conditional. In the words of Lord Sumption: "It intended to carry them out only conditionally on their being necessary to get the tenant out, and not, for example, if he left voluntarily or of the judge was persuaded that the works could be done by exercising a right of entry."
It followed therefore that the conditional intention was not the fixed and settled intention that ground (f) requires; that fixed and settled intention being "the touchstone of ground (f)" [Para 16].
Perhaps the outcome of the case would have been different if the landlord had not been so candid. In this respect the case is unusual.
However, Lord Sumption also considered that more complex issues would arise if the landlord intended to carry out some substantial part of the proposed works regardless of whether it was necessary to do so to obtain vacant possession from the court, and part of the works only if it was necessary to do so to obtain vacant possession. This might lead to a situation where the unconditional part of the landlord's works was insufficiently substantial or disruptive to warrant the refusal of a new tenancy, so that additional spurious works had to be added by the landlord for the sole purpose of obtaining possession.
In a situation like that, Lord Sumption concluded the answer is likely to depend on the precise facts. He went on to say:
"If, however, it is established that, at the time of the trial, were the tenant hypothetically to leave voluntarily, the landlord would not carry out the spurious additional works, then the tenant's claim to a new tenancy would normally fall to be resolved by reference only to the works which the landlord unconditionally intended." [Para 20]
This is an area where the law may be developed further by the courts in future.
It is likely there will be more litigation in the aftermath of this case, and contested lease renewals could in general become more protracted as tenants are likely to scrutinise their landlords' development plans more closely.
Landlords will need to put together a well-considered scheme of works or redevelopment and be able to demonstrate a proper intention to complete the works even if the tenant were to change its mind and vacate the premises voluntarily.
It is likely too that in a similar situation a landlord will be required to give an undertaking to the court confirming it has the unconditional intention to carry out the work and that it will do so even if the tenant vacates voluntarily. Remember that in this case the landlord's undertaking was only to carry out the work if a new tenancy was refused.
The flipside, for tenants, is that if litigation becomes more protracted as a result of this case, it will inevitably drive up costs on both sides.

Talk about weird racehorse drugs.
Nearly all of the horses in running in the Kentucky Derby will be given a drug on Derby day that is banned in most of the rest of the world.
The drug is called Lasix, a powerful diuretic that is used to prevent race horses from bleeding that many wonder if it is performance enhancing. Outside the United States, Lasix is often permitted for training but not given on race day because of its unclear effect on performance. However, veterinarians and many trainers support the use of Lasix in race horses because it prevents damage to the horses' lungs caused by a spontaneous bleeding condition.
Racehorses often suffer from a condition called "exercised induced pulmonary hemorrhage," Casey says. This is when the tiny capillaries inside a horses lungs burst because of the stress of having 60-70 gallons of blood a minute pumping through them. Some horses bleed more than others, but it's a condition that gets worse over time. For Casey, using the drug is a no-brainer, because it prevents any damage to the lungs from getting worse.
Critics of Lasix point out that it is unclear if the drug hides performance-enhancing substances that could be present before a race, or that the weight-loss caused by its diuretic effect is performance enhancing itself. It's banned in the rest of the world on race-day because of this, and because bleeding is seen as a sign of other problems in the horse. But Casey points out that there simply haven't been studies to actually determine the effect of Lasix on performance.
As for hiding things like anabolic steroids, Casey says he's not concerned. "The rules have not caught up with the testing methods," he says. "Trace amounts of [legally given] therapeutic medications can be found in post-race tests which can be a big problem." In other words, Casey thinks that drug-testing methods are so sensitive that even with the use of Lasix they will catch medications like penicillin long after the active period of the drug.
In the end, the problem with Lasix is that it does have a powerful therapeutic use that can help horses. But many say only five percent of racehorses really suffer this condition, making Lasix' widespread use problematic, particularly because it isn't clear what else it does. In people, diuretics are banned before competitions because they cause weight loss right before a match and can be used to mask the presence of other performance enhancing drugs. But until there's a way to prove that happens in horses, Lasix is likely to be the drug of choice for your favorite to win the Kentucky Derby.


Malva zebrina attracts butterflies and hummingbirds to the garden.
Malva zebrina (Malva sylvestris "Zebrina"), also known as zebra mallow or mallow hollyhock, is an upright perennial that blooms from early summer through mid-autumn. The exotic, 2-inch pink and lavender blooms are marked with pronounced veins of deep maroon or purple. The mature height of the plant is 2 to 4 feet. Malva zebrina is a drought-tolerant plant suitable for planting in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 8.
Plant malva zebrina seeds directly in the garden in early spring. A sunny location is best, however, the plant prefers afternoon shade in climates with hot summers. Malva zebrina tolerates nearly any type of well-drained soil.
Water the plant deeply throughout the first growing season, providing enough moisture to saturate the root zone. Deep watering creates healthy plants with strong, deep roots. Allow the top 3 inches of the soil to dry before watering again, because consistently soggy soil may lead to rot or fungal disease. Once established, the plant requires water only during hot, dry weather.
Fertilize malva zebrina every spring, using a balanced, general-purpose fertilizer. Apply the fertilizer according to the directions on the label. Always water deeply immediately after applying fertilizer.
Remove flowers as soon as they begin to wilt. This process, known as deadheading, encourages the plant to continue blooming until the end of the season.
Prune malva zebrina to ground level in autumn.

1) Cube was not properly constrained, added a fixture in X and Y to a vertex point on the cube to only allow motion in Z direction.
2) I was not aware you could apply the initial condition to the ENTIRE body of the cube.
3) Most importantly, the cube must be in contact with the wall when you initially run the simulation, or else initial contact will not be detected, and the simulation will fail.
1) Is it possible to define a no contact penetration between a beam and solid body?
2) If it is not possible, what is usually done in nonlinear dynamic studies when dealing with beam bodies?
3) Most importantly, the cube must be in contact with the wall when you initially run the simulation, or else initial contact will not be detected, and the simulation will fail. >> this shouldn't be the case. otherwise how would you do impact analysis of something hitting an aircraft for example. I suspect maybe your issue is that you're trying to use global contact vs a contact set.
as for beams and contact, the faces don't exist. they may look like it on the screen but they are basically 1d elements. if any contact is available it is between the length of the beam and something but even then, if it was large and flat, it wouldn't know what the contact looks like. your only option is to use solids.
As far as initial contact is concerned Jared, you were correct, removing global contact on the simulation seemed to fix the issues the solver had with initial contact. Thanks for the correction!
Alessandro, I really wish I could do the impact portion as a solid, and the rest as a beam, but I believe this might not work for the simulation I am doing. I'm testing to see how strong a roll cage I have modeled is, which is comprised completely of beam elements. I might be bad intuition on my part, but I feel like using both beam and solid elements in the analysis for the roll cage might produce some weird results. What do you think?
Mixing and matching element types is standard procedure. You could go with shells if you were looking to standardize.
are you sure this is a worthwhile endeavor for simulation? Have you at least checked everything else out? This is a complicated simulation. In the automotive industry there are dedicated software packages for this and dedicated analysts.
Its without a doubt a worthwhile endeavor if I can get it to work! The impact analysis is for a school club, and really all we have available to us for this type of analysis is hand calculations and SolidWorks. We do not have funds for anything else, so at this point I'm just trying to put in the time and effort to get the simulation to hopefully produce some semi-accurate results that may be of use to us. By the way, sorry for the delayed response, school is quite busy at the moment, and I only get to work on the simulation for a couple of hours every second day or so. Currently I have actually managed to get the impact analysis to solve once or twice, but it ended up producing some pretty inaccurate results. I do have another question, however, which I hope you don't mind answering!
1) Lack of adequate restraints for one or more parts.
2) Load increment may be too large or too small.
I don't believe the problem is number 1, just because I have tried numerous different constraints on the "wall" I am using for the impact fixture, and I receive the same error regardless. What I think it may be causing the error is number 2. See, currently the analysis is set up for a 100lb roll cage made of steel to impact at 15m/s into a 2 inch thick rubber wall. This creates some pretty high load increments for the rubber wall, which I believe may be the reason for the error. Here is where I get stuck though, I'm not quite sure how to get around this. I'm still very new to nonlinear analysis, so I'm not 100% sure if there is even a way to make this work. What do you think, Jared? Do you have any suggestions or tips for where to go from here?
Here is the link to the model Jared.
Final study is the one I am working on, since I have already managed to get results from study 1 (Only difference was Study 1 was done at 55km/h, while the final study is at 80km/h). Basically, I figured out how to fix the negative diagonal error (Reduced singularity elimination factor to 0.5), but then I got stuck on the "incremental strain is too large" error, mostly because of the high deformation occurring from the impact with the rubber. I used mesh control and reduced the size of the mesh to very fine, and today after 6 hours it worked! Although now, I've started to attempt to run the simulation at 80km/h, and it seems SolidWorks really does not like the amount of deformation going on, so I figure using the finest mesh is my only option, meaning the solve time is going to be well of 6 hours. Anyways, if you have any suggestions for my setup, I'd love to hear them!
what Jared said is correct, you need to use solids.
Modeling the whole beam with solids will make your non linear dynamic calculation too much time consuming.
Why don't you model the first portion of the beam with a beam element, and the the final portion (the one that will go in contact) as a solid ?
Exactly what results are you interested in?
For example, some nonlinear dynamic simulations I've seen are trying to see wave propagation through the solid and associated stresses. Very difficult simulations to try and perform. Can you decompose the problem to a peak impact force so you can run a linear/nonlinear static analysis?
The stress on the roll cage. Have to make sure it doesn't go over its yield strength. Actually, decomposing the problem into a peak impact force is sort of our last option if the simulation doesn't turn out. So far however, it seems to look like its possible after all!
Real quick question for anybody interested, about how much can you increase maximum incremental strain in the nonlinear dynamic options before it starts to the effect simulation results? I'm constantly running into "incremental logarithmic/plastic strain is too large" in my solver, which causes SolidWorks to reduce the time step, although the study does end up solving, it just takes a large amount of time (26 hours...). To get an idea of what I'm dealing with, its an 80km/h impact into a solid wall. I expect there to be large deformations, and thus large strains. So, if anybody can possibly give me a range of what the maximum incremental strain I can set is, that would be fantastic!
So, if anybody can possibly give me a range of what the maximum incremental strain I can set is, that would be fantastic! > i do not think that there is a specific range for this. this is basically a last ditch effort. and i do not think that this is what is changing the timestep. are you sure the setup of the problem is optimized? using shells, that you really need nonlinear dynamic, using linear elastic material, solves as a static and then linear dynamic before moving to nonlinear dynamic?
