GHG Emissions, Industrial, Sourcing Renewables - September 7, 2022
Suntory Uses Green Hydrogen to Decarbonize Hakushu Distillery
Suntory Holdings signed a basic agreement with Yamanashi Prefecture to collaborate on decarbonizing Suntory Hakushu Distillery and Suntory Minami Alps Hakushu Water Plant located in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.
The company will install the country's largest 16 MW "Yamanashi Model Power-to-Gas (P2G) System"* at the company's Hakushu facilities by 2025.
The "Yamanashi Model P2G System will produce green hydrogen by electrolyzing water using renewable electricity such as solar power and does not emit any GH) in its production process nor when consumed as a fuel. The green hydrogen produced will not only be used as fuel for heat energy at the company's Hakushu facilities but will also be utilized in the surrounding communities.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with Yamanashi Prefecture to contribute to a carbon neutral society by becoming home to one of the world's leading green hydrogen powerhouse. Delivering products with less environmental impact by decarbonizing our Hakushu facilities is a critical step in achieving our 2030 goal of halving our GHG emissions in our direct operations and ultimately achieving net zero across the entire value chain by 2050," said Makiko Ono, Chief Sustainability Officer at Suntory Holdings Limited in a statement. "In line with the Suntory Group's mission to create harmony with people and nature, we look forward to contributing to the development of hydrogen technology as a whole, and decarbonizing not only our business but also the surrounding communities."
The Suntory Group will further accelerate its work to meet its 2030 target to halve GHG emissions in its direct operations by utilizing green hydrogen to ultimately achieve net zero GHG emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.

Their target is the eastern Pacific and what's called the Great Garbage Patch, where circular currents have concentrated plastic in one large area.
"We feel we're in a great hurry," says Lonneke Holierhoek, the project's chief operating officer.
I'm meeting her at the project's headquarters in Rotterdam in offices that are far bigger than I expected. The Dutch government is a major backer, along with some wealthy companies and investors.
The project, with a budget of at least €20m (£18m), has grown from a young man's vision to a serious international enterprise.
There's a faint smell of seaweed and rubbish. On the desks and the floor are boxes brimming with fragments of plastic hauled from the sea on earlier expeditions, a reminder of the task ahead.
As an engineer who spent the past two decades working on offshore projects, she's not a campaigner but someone with a wealth of experience working with huge structures out at sea.
The key point is that the collection system is passive – there are no motors, no machines. Instead, it'll drift, acting like an artificial coastline, gently gathering any plastic in its path.
Like a giant snake, made up of sections of tube, it's 600m (2,000ft) long and will float in a giant 'U' shape. Beneath it a screen will hang down 3m (10ft).
The plan is to use the recovered material to make a range of products to be deliberately marketed as "made from ocean plastic" and sold at a premium price.
Some experts I've spoken to are worried that marine life might suffer.
Anything drifting in the sea soon gets coated in algae, attracting plankton which draw in small fish and then bigger ones. Industrial fishing fleets actually deploy "fish aggregation devices" to act as lures.
But Sue Kinsey of the Marine Conservation Society is among those who aren't convinced. She admires the passion and inspiration behind the project but says it could be harmful.
"The major problem is those creatures that passively float in the ocean that can't actually move out of the way – once they're in this array, they're going to be trapped there unable to move," she says.
She also says it's more cost-effective to clean up beaches instead and focus on preventing more plastic reaching the oceans.
Prof Richard Lampitt of the UK's National Oceanography Centre also applauds the project for raising awareness but reckons much of the plastic that gets into the sea sinks relatively quickly so that the effort won't be able to make much of a difference.
"The cost/benefit ratio does not look at all attractive," Prof Lampitt tells me.
Back in Rotterdam, one of the project's scientists, Laurent Lebreton, is convinced the effort is worth it, and he shows me two examples of plastic waste impacting the natural world.
A small piece of white coral has grown around the fibres of an old fishing net – a surprisingly shocking sight. And on the jagged edge of a plastic bottle there are unmistakeable tooth marks left by a fish that's taken a bite.
"That plastic gets swallowed and the fish gets eaten and the plastic enters the food chain and ends up on our plates," Laurent says.
It'll take three weeks for the system to be towed out to the Great Garbage Patch some 2,000km (1,200 miles) off the coast of California. The first sense of how it's performing should be clear later this year.

Eugen Korschelt (28 September 1858, in Zittau – 28 December 1946, in Marburg) was a German zoologist. He is known for his research in the field of comparative embryology and his work involving biological regeneration and transplantation.

He served as a lecturer at the Universities of Freiburg and Berlin. becoming a professor of zoology and comparative anatomy at the University of Marburg in 1892.  At Marburg, he succeeded Richard Greeff as director of the zoological institute, and twice served as university rector (1904/05, 1914/15). In 1912/13 he was president of the Deutsche Zoologische Gesellschaft (German Zoological Society).

Organisms with the specific epithet of korschelti are named after him, an example being the ribbon worm species Amphiporus korschelti.

Published works
With Austrian zoologist Karl Heider, he co-wrote an important textbook on comparative embryology called Lehrbuch der vergleichenden Entwicklungsgeschichte der wirbellosen Thiere. It was later translated into English and published as "Text-book of the embryology of invertebrates" (several volumes). In 1907 he published Regeneration und Transplantation, a work that was also translated into English; "Regeneration and transplantation". With physiologist Max Verworn, chemist Karl Schaum and others, he was editor of the 10-volume Handwörterbuch der Naturwissenschaften (1912-1915).

Is Drake Teaming Up With LeBron James? We Ask the Matrix
Drake says he's ready to record with King James – his teammate Shawn Marion isn't so sure

LeBron James and Drake, BFFs.
Jesse Grant/WireImage
To date, Drake has used his role as Toronto Raptors "global ambassador" to both roll and troll his way through the Association. But now, he seems ready to use his powers for something else entirely.
Recently, TMZ cameras caught up with Drake as he was leaving the premiere of LeBron James' new TV show Survivor's Remorse – we've never heard of it either – and asked if he'd ever be willing to collaborate with the King on a song. And while Drizzy only kinda-sorta answered in the affirmative ("No doubt. Always man") that was still enough to get the rumor mill grinding.
Naturally, Rolling Stone was determined to figure this out. So when we spoke with LeBron's Cleveland teammate Shawn Marion – we were discussing his inclusion on the upcoming benefit album Full Court Press, Volume 1 – we also managed to ask the Matrix if he knew anything about a potential Drake/LBJ collab. And, if he did, he was keeping the details close to the vest.

Album Guide: Metallica
"Oh man, I don't know. We haven't discussed it if he is," Marion laughs. "I'm gonna leave it up to him. That's not really something we'd talk about."
Marion was equally diplomatic when asked about James' rap skills ("I haven't heard him") though if Cleveland's returning hero wants to team up with Drake, well, the Matrix wishes him well; turns out rapping is much harder than it looks.
"Most of us can't do it. I'm not a rapper, man. If it's for a great cause, like this album, I'm all for it, but I'm not gonna embarrass myself. I know my limitations," he says. "There aren't many athletes that can rap; one who could was Shaq. I had a couple of his albums; he's one of the few people who could pull it off. He's multi-talented."
And it seems Shaq is a bit of an anomaly – the rare crossover that can also cross you up. Though it's not like there aren't plenty of rappers trying to make a move to the court.
"There's a couple of guys you can tell play rec league, but there's a big difference between that and the NBA," Marion says. "Chris Brown can cross you up; he's not bad actually. Master P tried to do it. Snoop couldn't play in the NBA. I've seen him play in pickup games."

Srinagar, Apr 16 (KNS): Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has welcomed the Indian and Pakistani Army chiefs for advocating peace and resolution of Kashmir dispute. The party Secretary General, Moulana Mohammad Abdullah Tari said in a statement that two Army chiefs are on the same page and now it is the turn of the political leadership of the two countries to come across the table and exhibit maturity.
Moulana Tari said that time has come for the final settlement of Kashmir dispute as it has badly hit the economies of India and Pakistan resulting in countless issues in both the neighbouring countries. At a time when both the Armies are advocating peace their respective political leaderships should also follow and accept the facts about a political dispute which is endangering stability of the whole region.
Meanwhile, expressing solidarity and sympathy with the parents of Mohammad Amir Lone, of Chatturgul Kangan who succumbed to his injuries after hit by government force's bullets, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) today said that using brutal force against unarmed protesters is the worst kind of state terrorism Kashmiris are facing at the hands of India and its local agents.
Paying his heartfelt tributes to slain Amir a JKDFP spokesperson said that whenever Kashmiris try to raise their voice, they are being targeted by bullets and pellets at the behest of those politicians who used to be so called champions of civil liberty when out of power. It is these power thirsty so called politicians who have jailed the leaders like JKDFP chief Shabir Ahmad Shah only to create political vacuum among Kashmiri people. It is again these so called rulers who have booked our youth in fake cases and have destroyed their future. JKDFP stressed upon people to remain vigilant against these anti-Kashmir power thirsty elements at every point of time.
The people living in the disputed territory are fighting for right to self-determination and they cannot be satisfied with mere slogans or. People of all sorts have rendered tremendous sacrifices to achieve their right and every one among us is duty bound to safeguard these cherished sacrifices.

My Name is Alice in einer von drei Männerrollen mit, die normalerweise von Frauen gespielt werden.
Gemeinsam schrieben sie das Drehbuch zu Good Will Hunting und versuchten lange Zeit vergeblich, es an ein Studio zu verkaufen. Sie schlugen hierfür einige lukrative Angebote aus, da die potentiellen Käufer nicht daran interessiert waren, sowohl Damon als auch Affleck mit Hauptrollen zu versehen.
Zusätzlich erhielt Damon eine Oscar-Nominierung für die beste Hauptrolle. Der Film wurde mit vier Oscars ausgezeichnet, u. Am Juli wurde Matt Damon mit dem Damon entered Harvard in , [22] [nb 2] where he appeared in student theater plays, such as Burn This and A My Name is Alice.
Courage Under Fire gained him critical notice, when The Washington Post labeled his performance "impressive". Perfectly cast, he makes the aching, step-by-step transformation of Will realistic and credible.
Speaking of his "overnight success" through Good Will Hunting , Damon said by that time he had been working in the cinema for 11 years, but still found the change "nearly indescribable—going from total obscurity to walking down a street in New York and having everybody turn and look".
Despite meager earnings at the box-office, the film has developed a cult status over the years. Damon said that he wanted to display his character's humanity and honesty on screen despite his criminal actions.
Damon's attempts at essaying leading characters in romantic dramas such as 's All the Pretty Horses and The Legend of Bagger Vance were commercially and critically unsuccessful.
Nor does he strike any sparks with [Penelope] Cruz. During this period, Damon joined two lucrative film series— Ocean's Trilogy — and Bourne — —and produced the television series Project Greenlight —, In the former's first installment, Steven Soderbergh 's ensemble film Ocean's Eleven , which is a remake of the Rat Pack 's Ocean's 11 , he co-starred as thief Linus Caldwell.
Damon began with writing and starring in Gerry , a drama about two friends who forget to bring water and food when they go hiking in a desert.
The reviews for the film were generally positive, but it was a box-office failure. Liman considered several actors for the role, before he finalized Damon.
He doubted on the film's financial prospects, but it proved a commercial success. Damon voiced the role of Spirit in the animated film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron and later played a conjoined twin in Stuck on You , which received a mixed critical reception.
He does a lot with very little, imbuing his limited dialogue with both rage and sorrow, looking harder and more haunted as the picture progresses".
Later in , he appeared as an energy analyst in the geopolitical thriller Syriana alongside George Clooney and Jeffrey Wright. Damon says starring in the film broadened his understanding of the oil industry and that he hoped the people would talk about the film afterward.
The New Republic observed that he brought "it off with low-key charm and integrity. The film premiered on HBO on May 26, Damon starred in the science fiction film Elysium , where he played former car-thief-turned-factory-worker Max DeCosta.
Mann, in Christopher Nolan 's Interstellar. In , Damon appeared as a celebrity correspondent for Years of Living Dangerously. Having not returned for the fourth film in the Bourne film series , [97] [98] Damon reprised his role in 's Jason Bourne , reuniting with Paul Greengrass.
In , Damon played the lead role in Zhang Yimou 's The Great Wall , a hit internationally and a disappointment at the domestic box office.

Meditation has been around for many centuries now but it has only relatively recently gained popularity here in the Western world. Every day more and more people are discovering the numerous benefits associated with practicing meditation. So if you would like to know how to increase brain power with meditation, read on….
Traditionally, meditation was most frequently practiced within various different religions, as a way to alter everyday consciousness to reach a state of receptiveness to the teachings and goals of the tradition that was being taught. It is essentially a way of quieting the mind in order to reach a state of inner peace.
This is the amazing part! Scientists have been conducting extensive research on the benefits of meditation on the brain, and the results are pretty astonishing.
One of the most notable studies was carried out at Harvard University by a group of neuroscientists, headed by Sara Lazar, and published in the Harvard Gazette in January 2011. This was the first study of its kind to document changes in the brain's grey matter over a period of time.
Sara Lazar enrolled 16 study participants to take part in this study. Using magnetic resonance images (MRI), the participants brains were scanned 2 weeks prior to the study. They then took part in an 8 week program of mindfulness meditation, after which their brains were again scanned using (MRI) technology.
One of the major things that happens to our brains as we meditate is that the brain slows down and stops processing so much information. The Beta waves in our brain usually indicate all the information that we are processing at any given time and these can be seen on an MRI scan.
markedly decreased in all of the study participants. Looking a bit more closely, these were the areas of the brain where changes were most notable.
This is the area of the brain responsible for reasoning, logic, planning, emotions and self-conscious awareness. It is the most highly evolved part of our brains. During meditation, the frontal lobe slowed down and basically went offline.
This is the area of the brain where we process all sensory information about the world around us, orienting us in time and space. During meditation, the parietal lobe completely slows down.
The thalamus is the gatekeeper for the senses, focusing our attention by funneling some sensory data deeper into the brain, and stopping other signals from going any further. Meditation reduces the flow of incoming information to a trickle.
This area acts as the brains sentry, receiving incoming stimuli and putting the brain on alert ready to respond. Meditating turns down the response to outside stimuli.
In addition to these findings, it was noted in previous studies that the amounts of grey matter in the brains of those who meditate is increased.
The following is a YouTube video taken in 2011, in which Sara Lazar explains the findings of their study.
Pretty great right! Just imagine being able to actually slow down the rate at which your brain ages!
Consider all of the other benefits as well that go hand in hand with a regular meditation practice. Like decreased stress, lower blood pressure, increased attention span, increased immunity and resistance to disease, improved brain function, improved sleep, feeling more connected, increased compassion and understanding, reduced ageing and the ability to appreciate life more. The list just goes on and on!
Another study carried out in 2012, by David M. Levy, Jacob O. Wobbrock, and Marilyn Ostergren, all from the Information School at University of Washington and Alfred W. Kaszniak, Dept. of Psychology, University of Arizona, set out to determine the effects of meditation on the multi-tasking behaviour of knowledge workers.
They formed 3 groups of human resources personnel. Each group had 12-15 people. They tested each group to establish a baseline. The test given was a relatively naturalistic and intentionally stressful one to test their multi-tasking abilities.
This group underwent an 8 week training course on mindfulness meditation.
The second group were used as a control group and received no training for the 8 weeks, after which they also underwent 8 weeks of mindfulness meditation training to establish if they also would yield the same results as the first group.
This group were given 8 weeks training in body relaxation.
They then re-tested all the participants using the same test as previous.
It was found that only those trained in meditation stayed on tasks longer and made fewer task switches, as well as self-reporting less negative emotions after task performance, as compared to the other 2 groups.
Both the meditation and body relaxation groups showed improved memory for the tasks they performed.
They concluded that there is evidence that attention training through meditation improves aspects of multi-tasking behavior. Meditation may effect positive changes in the multi-tasking practices of computer based knowledge workers.
who are starting to meditate for the first time often find this type of meditation suitable for their needs.
This is when you focus on your breath or an object, like the flame on a candle. The idea being that if your concentration wanders, you return your focus to your breath/ object.
In this type of meditation you allow yourself to notice all the things that are going on around you, but you remain calm and do not react to them. This allows the meditator to become more aware of the energy flowing all around us.
This type of meditation focuses on your breathing and incorporates a body scan. You become aware of your breath and focus on taking deep breaths in and out. Then you scan your body from your toes up, releasing any tension and stress that you are holding on to.
This type of meditation can often be done while walking, washing or eating.
In this type of meditation you repeat a mantra or series of Sanskrit words silently to yourself. This is to help you to focus during meditation instead of focusing on your breath.
These are just a few examples of the types of meditation that you can do, but there are many more.
This phenomenon suggests to me that traits that were assumed to be fixed- such as personality, disposition, even moods – are not permanent and that mental exercises or changes in the environment can affect these traits. Already experiments have shown that experienced meditators have more activity in the left frontal lobe, the part of the brain associated with positive emotions such as happiness, joy, and contentment.
One of the things that people don't realize is that it's not necessary to spend a long time meditating. A few minutes whenever you can fit it in can be very beneficial to you and your overall health.
It isn't necessary to sit cross-legged either. You can meditate quietly while waiting in the car for the kids on the school run, for a few minutes in bed before you get up in the morning, while walking the dog or running on the beach, or even doing the dishes. It doesn't have to be difficult, formal or hard to do.
It's all about being aware of yourself and your surroundings, and just being in each moment as it comes to you. Have fun trying out different types of meditation. You will then find the ones that suit you and your lifestyle best.
I personally favor mindfulness as I find it quick and easy to incorporate into my busy schedule. I also enjoy guided and transcendental meditations when I have the time to fit them in.
Deepak Chopra together with Oprah Winfrey, regularly run a FREE 21 day Meditation Experience online.
Each day consists of a 20 minute session hosted by them both, and includes a Sanskrit mantra for you to focus on while you meditate. If you miss a session you can catch up, as you have 5 days to listen to each recording.
I truly enjoy these 21 Meditation Experience's every time, and can personally guarantee that it is well worth your while to get involved and take part.
So go on and increase your brain power!
Oh the power of meditation….
What a lovely thought! So happy to hear that you enjoy meditation too. It definitely expands the mind!


hi im huckd9 that one for them using money glitch player.i know i using money glitch is a bad thing. i should not do it.I apologize again for this money glitch.I hope that you can give me a chance to change it.For this, I can ask you to reduce my banned times.I understand that I should admit mistakes. Banned from server is reasonable.
We do not tolerate people taking advantage of glitches that break the game. If you'd instead have reported the glitch we wouldn't have made the Ban this high. I will make it 2 days. If I see you do the same thing again, it will be longer.


We need to restore community pride. Huntington Beach residents need to feel their voice is being heard and their views are at the heart of the policy-making process.
Maintaining public safety. It's imperative that lives and property are protected, crime is prevented, order is maintained, and laws are enforced with due regard for the constitutional rights of all citizens. Our police, fire protection and marine safety departments cannot operate on shoestring budgets. I will work with public safety leaders to ensure they have the necessary funds and employees to keep our city safe and running efficiently.
We need to invest in our city's infrastructure. It's important that we properly maintain our streets, parks, sewer and water systems so they do not deteriorate. If we neglect and allow our infrastructure to fall into disrepair, it will prove costly and a huge burden to the taxpayers in the end.
The move toward allowing those people who need the assistance of a service to have four dogs instead of the usual three was the humane thing to do. Families who have three dogs and then become in need of a service dog will not have to say goodbye to one of their beloved pets in order to get the help that they need.
The City Council was wrong in supporting and approving the Ridge Project. Changing the designation of that fragile and historic part of Bolsa Chica from public space to residential was the wrong thing for our community. I would have and will vote to preserve our wetlands.

Lord Loomba CBE Supports Launch of New Low-Cost, Long-Haul Airline by Buying the First POP Gold Pass
POP, the new, low-cost, long-haul airline that plans to operate the only current non-stop flights between the UK and two of India's leading second cities - Amritsar (Punjab) and Ahmedabad (Gujarat) - held its crowdfunding launch party at the Nehru Centre of the High Commission of India in London on Sunday 29th May.
Author: POP
Keywords: Blog, Amritsar, Ahmedabad, India, Charity, Poposition, Crowdfunding
Honoured Guest was Rajinder Paul "Raj", Baron Loomba CBE, who spoke highly about this new initiative and declared his support for POP, in particular for its 'caring capitalism' business model. POP will be donating a minimum of 51% of its net profits to charitable causes in the communities it serves both in the UK and India.
During his speech, Lord Loomba pledged to buy the first POP Gold Pass, saying that he has full confidence in the new airline and wants to support it whole-heartedly.
POP requires £5m to launch the airline's first-year operation. This will be raised by a rewards-based crowdfunding campaign which involves the sale of POP Gold Passes, each priced at £500. The first 10,000 Gold Pass holders will win one free off-peak return seat to any POP destination and will, for the following five years, be entitled to a number of VIP benefits both on the ground and in the air, including an extra luggage allowance, priority check in/boarding, extra leg-room seats (when available), complimentary meals and free Wi-Fi, and the opportunity to purchase seats at the lowest fares when released.
Founder and Executive Chairman of the clothing company Rinku Group Ltd, Lord Loomba is a Liberal Democrats life peer in the House of Lords and a renowned philanthropist. The Loomba Foundation, which he founded with his wife Veena, Lady Loomba, was established as a charitable Trust in the UK in 1997. It has sister charities registered in India and the USA.
The primary aim of the Foundation is to promote the fundamental freedoms, human rights and economic empowerment of disadvantaged widows and their children around the world. The inspiration came from Lord Loomba's late mother, Shrimati Pushpa Wati Loomba, who became a widow at just 37 but succeeded in educating her seven young children single-handedly.

Watch a recording of this event.
Issue One Founder and CEO Nick Penniman talks with authors Mark Bowden and Matt Teague on their new book The Steal – The Attempt to Overturn the 2020 Election and the People Who Stopped It.
In this book, Bowden and Teague offer a week-by-week, state-by-state account of the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election. In the sixty-four days between November 3 and January 6, President Donald Trump and his allies fought to reverse the outcome of the vote.
Penniman sits down with them to discuss their investigative background, why they chose to examine the 2020 election, what political topics they are currently exploring, and how we all can serve as patriotic heroes to protect the 2022 elections and beyond.
Mark Bowden is the author of fifteen books, including the #1 New York Times bestseller Black Hawk Down, Killing Pablo, Hue 1968, and The Last Stone. He reported at the Philadelphia Inquirer for twenty years and now writes for The Atlantic and other magazines.
Matt Teague is a contributor to National Geographic, The Atlantic, Esquire, and other magazines and executive producer of Our Friend, a feature film that premiered in 2021.


This is the story about my 91 945 Turbo wagon that made it in the Pages of European Car magazine. It all starts when I was looking in the local paper for a Lawn tractor. I saw the ad that read Volvo station wagon turbo and the asking price. Having my old Turbo wagon totalled see picture below in a VERY bad car accident and walking away,I needed another Volvo Turbo wagon. So I called and asked the owner a few questions about the car and the two big questions I had were answered too my liking and they are,does it have a roof rack and what color and the answers where no and RED and I said I will be over too look at it ASAP wich for me was 20 minutes thats how long it took me too get to there house. Being a Volvo technican and owning just about all the OLDER Volvo models they made has been very helpful in this journey. One each page will describe all the triumphs and FAILURES that I have had with this car.
This is the brake and suspension page. This is the ONLY 940 in the U.S running the Brembo calipers and rotors from the Newer R model Volvo's. The suspension consists of coilovers front and rear Hyperco 400lbs front springs with Bilsteins and 300 lbs SSS rear springs with Bilsteins. It also has Ipd front and rear sways with a Volvo factory lower chassis brace and poly bushings throughout. In this photo the adjusters are all the way down almost touching the tire.
Carlisle 2007 Well @ Carlisle the featured marque was Volvo, so more than 300 cars showed for the historic event being that Volvo also celebrated 80 years of building cars. The first Volvo was known as the Jacob and was built in 1927. The little RED wagon parked next to my stepson's Laser Blue 960..


Welcome to your new apartment! Your smart phone probably helped you find it, schedule the showings, tour it, and look for nearby restaurants. You sent pictures to your friends and family and bragged about it on social media. On the day you moved in, you used your phone to find that nearby pizzeria for your first meal, the nearest grocery store to stock the empty refrigerator, and the utility companies so you can get your cable installed. That analog world is long gone, baby!
From the search, to the packing, to the lugging; moving is daunting. Luckily that next phase, settling in, is much more fun. Once again, your smart phone can deliver a few great apps to turn your apartment into your domain.
Before you splurge on a television big enough to have its own zip code, you probably need to recalibrate your finances. Your rent isn't the same, your utilities aren't the same, your commute changed; it can be unclear whether life life became more affordable or more expensive.
Mint is a free personal finance app that will help you forecast and manage your bank account's ebbs and flows. From the makers of Quickbooks and Turbotax, you can do more than just budget. You can schedule alerts for your bills, check your credit and even learn how to boost it.
Upload your information into the app, squint at it, and see what you can do to your apartment with that treasure chest. Once you're informed, it's on to the best part of having a new home; making it yours. Now that you established how big of a television you can fit into your budget, let's see if there is an app that can help you find the right spot for it in your apartment for it.
Magicplan is an app for your new apartment that creates floorplans with measurements in minutes so you can determine what fits!
You have an empty place. Scratch that. You have a place filled with boxes and random stuff piled up in your living room. You look around and you have a vision. A sofa here. A queen-sized bed there (maybe a king). A coffee table there. It looks good in your head but you're not really sure what you're going to find at the store and, when you do see that couch that wants to come home with you, whether it will fit where you hope.
Enter Magicplan. Stand in the middle of your room, slowly turn in a circle snapping a picture every time a corner of the room comes into focus on the app and 360 degrees later you have a floorplan with accurate measurements. You can even convert it into a 3-D floorplan. Then block images of tables, beds, lamps and dressers of different dimensions into your floorplan so you know what will fit and when you'll need to ask your new landlord to demolish a wall. Now it's time to shop.
Houzz let's you see what that furniture will look like in your room before you buy it.
Houzz is a must have app for your new apartment. Browse furniture you can add to your cart and purchase. But if you're unsure how that bookshelf will look in that second bedroom, tap your screen to open your camera and voila, the bookshelf appears in the camera shot. You can move it, turn it, reorient it; see it every way you can through your phone before settling on an expensive, time-consuming mistake.
Does something require a ton of assembly or heavy lifting? Maybe you need to update your address at the DMV but you know the line is 90 minutes long. And you're hungry! Because with a new apartment there are new projects, we have another app for you. TaskRabbit is an app that will pair you with a person who will assemble, lift or even stand in line for you at the DMV for a small fee.
You need to do something about those bare walls. Again, we have an app for your new apartment. Browse hangable art you can buy through the Art.com app, but see what it looks like on the wall first. You don't want to get a picture of dogs playing poker if the shade of brown in the beagle clashes with your curtains!
Speaking of beagle, our final must have app for your new apartment is for the dogs. After you have settled in to your new apartment, have your furniture and décor the way you want it, and your Mint app is not prompting you to sell your collection of antique fax machines, it is time for a break. You found a nice house on the coast to rent for a weekender, but Poochy Magee is not allowed to come with and your old standby dog walker is no longer an option in your new location.
Enter Wag! The exclamation point is part of the name, but why not be enthusiastic? After a few taps on your phone, you are just minutes away from meeting your new dog walker. Poochy Magee will get her exercise, a chance to bark at plenty of cars, and someone different to pick up her business.
If you have any apps you would like to tell us about that make your apartment experience a little easier, please share it with us at info@milestonepm.net.
Every family deserves holiday cheer during Christmas and every child has a special claim to that magic. For the third year in a row, Milestone Property Management has reached out to our tenants to make sure that Christmas spirit warmed as many hearts as possible.
Young boy gives Santa a warm welcome at a Milestone community.
First Santa visited Milestone kids- at their homes far and near. Delivering gifts and spreading some cheer.
Milestone identified a few children who would especially enjoy Santa Claus's graces this season. Santa made sure to find toys that inspired learning, building and growth.
This young lady was overjoyed to receive a personal delivery from the North Pole!
Mike, Milestone's maintenance chief, does more than fix sinks and replace cabinets. If you need help opening a gift, he has the right tools.
These sisters are thrilled with their surprise visitor.
With the children at play, Santa took to his sleigh, and Ho, Ho, Hoed with his reindeer to the next stop that day.
This little boy made sure to thank Santa for the toys and the visit.
With his reindeer determined to avoid being tardy, Santa arrived at the Milestone Party!
As the guest of honor, Santa made sure to find out what each child wanted for Christmas and reminded them all to be nice, not naughty. After all, he is checking that list twice.
Santa's visit to us made it abundantly clear, that we are all one family this time of year.
We need to remember that we are better for it when we bring joy to those who need it most.
It is fitting that the word "smile" is in the word "Milestone." Anf it is vital that "smiles" abound in our communities.
Whether you are a tenant, a client, a vendor or a neighbor, happy holidays from your family at Milestone Property Management!
Resident retention opportunities can happen when it is least obvious. Therefore, let's look at a popular topic we are all confronting this time of year: the weather.
Portland is known for mild winters. Sure, it rains. But snow in the Portland metropolitan area and SW Washington is supposed to be a like a petting zoo: you can drive 20 minutes to the mountains, visit it and then come home without any concerns. 2017 was a nutso year. It seemed every other week we had an ice storm or blizzard. As a result, we were all under considerable stress.
Schools were constantly out, cars were skating off of roads and into ditches (or off an occasional cliff). Some people ditched their cars on the side of the road and shivered their ways home by foot. We put on tire chains and hoped we wouldn't thrash our wheel wells driving 20 mph on major roads. And for a split second (only a split second) we thought California wouldn't be so bad. But then we reminded ourselves about how much we love the place we call home and swore this would not happen again for another 3 or 4 years.
Well, it happened again in 2018. But in property management, foul weather is an opportunity to prove to our residents that we care. We don't want you to slip on the ice and bruise your tailbone. No. We want you to look around and admire the beauty of the snow clinging to tree branches and walk in your nicest shoes on snow and ice free ground to your car. There will be plenty of opportunities to freak out on the road, but leaving and arriving to your home should be the good part.
The sidewalks at Cedar Lane Apartments in Vancouver were happy.
Children at Arbor Place helped the manager create "Frosty the Groundskeeper".
They say insurance isn't appreciated until it is needed. Arranging for 2000+ residents to wake up after a snowy evening to clear sidewalks and plowed parking lots, all de-iced, is not an easy task. We plan months in advance to ensure we can accomplish this for our residents. At the time, we don't even know if these efforts are going to be necessary. A snow free winter in Portland is plausible after all. But when Jane Resident goes to work and her co-worker is holding her elbow because she fell in her parking lot, Jane Resident will appreciate that her management company took the time and energy to keep her safe. "Appreciation" is what we hope she feels. But we can at least expect her to not be sore and angry. She didn't have a bad day. And that's good enough, right? WRONG!
Somerset West residents enjoyed the beauty of open, snowy fields.
Somerset West residents walked worry free on manicured sidewalks and plowed lots.
A nearby community NOT managed by Milestone Property Management presents a less than welcoming office.
At a nearby apartment complex NOT managed by Milestone Property Management, residents had to tread carefully on ice and snow.
When a customer service person says good-bye, she says "have a nice day" not "don't have a bad day." We say "good luck" to people, not "don't have bad luck." Clearing the snow and ice is great for eliminating the bad luck and not promoting a bad day. But that is a pretty low bar.
The management book "Fish" provides a parable that takes place in the Pacific NW. One of the lessons this book preaches is to "Make Someone's Day." If you are determined every day you go to work to make at least one person's day, you'd be surprised how likely you are to overachieve and make A LOT of people's days. Bad management can drive a tenant away. However, resident retention is your reward for giving them a reason to love their community.
Therefore, what if a manager ventures into the snow with some of the children in her community enjoying a day off from school and makes a snow man? And what if this snow man is planted right in front of her office to greet the visiting residents? Sure, they didn't slip on ice and have their day ruined. But how do you not smile at a snow man? The children are undoubtedly high-fiving each other for a job well done. Their parents are happy that for a good 45 minutes their children were occupied with something fun and creative. And at least four other residents took pictures of the snow man to post on their Instagram or Facebook accounts or show to their friends at work.
If clearing the snow and ice is what separates the good property management companies from the meh. Then a snow man, a snowball fight, and snow angels separates the great ones from the good. This is how the magic happens!

It's Spring Cleaning time according to the calendar. But before you get to enjoy the warming temperatures and sun (oh, wait, we're in the Pacific Northwest), you need to organize, reduce and scrub so you have a respectable home to return to after you enjoy a few post-hibernation outings.
As someone who has been maintenance-genting for many years, I can assure you the pay-off of spring cleaning done right is worth the afternoon you may sacrifice. It will make for a happy tenant, and a home with less maintenance quagmires. Besides, spiders, insects and rodents don't pay rent!
When you say the word saving, I hear the word hoarding. And when you say the word hoarding, I smell the word mold. Psychologically, someone can make a great case that decluttering will lead to a less stressful and happier environment. But as someone who has spent years in the damp trenches of Oregon and Washington, I cannot emphasize enough how important air flow is to preventing mold issues. If you have less stuff, you have more air flow. Who doesn't like breathing?
Air space is important. We established that. Wall space is also a factor in reducing mold. It is tempting to try to create more floorspace by shoving all of your sofas and other items against the walls. When one does this, air gets trapped and that creates the perfect habitat for spores. This also gives cover to pests ranging from spiders to mice. I recommend not pushing one's sofa or bed against a wall if you can avoid it. Also, throw away that box of rags or find a better place to store that case of antique nail clippers and marbles than shoved against a wall.
Let's talk about garbage can etiquette. No one wants snow drifts of garbage bags lining their hallways, but there are a few rules you need to follow when taking out the trash.
Furniture does not belong in dumpsters. Sofas, TV's and large appliances need to be hauled to a dump site. If you call a hauling service, there is a fee. But this fee is smaller than the penalty you would have to pay for breaking the property's rules.
Regarding Christmas Trees, there are two important points. First, it is already Spring, why do you still have a Christmas tree? And second, this too needs to be hauled away by an independent service. For Christmas trees, call your local Boy Scout troop. The Girl Scouts may have the market cornered on Thin Mints, but Christmas Tree hauling… that's the Boy Scouts' territory.
If you discover any new "pets" while Spring cleaning, then it is probably a very good thing you got around to doing this. And please call your onsite manager or maintenance technician immediately so we can get rid of your unwanted roommates.
Regarding cleaning supplies, use only appropriate cleaners and take special care with anything that is caustic. And under no circumstances should you ever use Liquid Plumber, no matter how stubborn the stain.
Snowlandia 2017: We worked, we had fun, we made 'em smile!
What a crazy week we had there, huh Portland? We hope that many of you had an opportunity to have a little fun sledding, throwing snowballs, making snowmen and possibly even making your own igloo (see below… there is a photographic evidence of the snow inspiring someone's inner-engineer). Hopefully, you also had an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the white snow clinging to tree branches, landscapes of marshmallow fluff, and icicles shimmering in clusters hanging from the rooftops. We do not get too many storms like this. And while it may have caused some occasional hardships, it hopefully also provided some great memories.
The Milestone Property Management Corporate Office when the snow first fell.
Snowlandia 2017: Our owners and residents are all smiles because, as always, Milestone comes through no matter what craziness is dealt our way!
Jefferson Place in Woodland emerged from the storm with the most picturesque scenery.
At a park near Washington Square Apartments (SW Portland near Tigard), an igloo was built. Rumor has it this studio has washer and dryer hookups!
When a picture perfect opportunity arises at Irvington Court/Irvington Plaza in NE Portland, we make our beautiful winter photos look extra fancy!
During the storm, 27th East in trendy SE Portland wore the snow like it was a scene in a Norman Rockwell painting.
During Snowlandia 2017, Washington Square Apartments in Portland near Tigard donned the snow in its beautiful courtyard.
When the snow fell, Cottonwood Court in Vancouver WA embraced it.
During Snowlandia 2017, Cedar Lane in Vancouver WA also made it one for the memory books.
At Mt Pleasant in Oregon City, hot cocoa on a day like this is worth more per ounce than gold!
The weather outside is frightful, but the air in here's delightful, if at Hilltop Court (Oregon City) there's no place to go… let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Meanwhile, at Orchardview in Salem, OR, there was less than an inch. All of our non-Salem properties are collecting snowballs and are preparing to invade!
Arbor Place in SE Portland near Gresham received a healthy amount of snow as well during the historic storm.
When the snow came, COVE 13 in Vancouver WA waltzed with Jack Frost!
Santa Claus made his list and he checked it twice. He found out the kids at Milestone's properties were nice!
Not only did Santa swing by some of our properties to deliver toys, but we were also able to spread a little bit of joy this holiday season.
From disabled veterans to families enduring hardships, we tried to help those in our communities who needed it the most. But now that the holiday season is behind us, it is important that we hold onto that spirit of kindness, giving and compassion for our neighbors. Over the course of the year, we want our residents to let us know when a neighbor needs a helping hand. In fact, we also want to know when our residents are doing the helping!
So let us all give back this year! Lift and be lifted. We want to make sure we are fostering a community where neighbors look out for one another. We are going to do our part to make sure this holiday spirit persists all year long. The spirit of Santa will be as strong in July as it was in December. Whether we are selling lemonade with our community kids to raise money to fight pediatric cancer, assisting veterans, feeding the hungry, assisting the abused, or building homes for the poor, let us all be present for those who need it the most.
Not only do we want to make sure we're all doing what we can to improve the community within our gates and the community outside of our gates, we also want to make sure Santa keeps us all on the "nice" list. We understand from all of the children who got to meet him at our properties this year that he is as kind as his reputation suggests. Be safe, stay warm and Ho! Ho! Ho!
Your friends at Milestone Property Management!
Holiday warmth should come from within, and maybe some eggnog, not from accidental Christmas Tree fires. Tis the season to discuss Christmas Tree safety, maintenance, set-up and disposal! Ho, ho, ho!
When Christmas trees become dry, they become very flammable. So, with that in mind, it is important to keep your tree well hydrated, well maintained and away from anything that can spark danger.
Make sure to use a quart of water per inch of stem diameter. Trees are thirsty animals and you have to keep them hydrated!
Make a half-inch cut at the bottom of the trunk so it can drink water. Make the cut flat… no fancy vee shapes, that doesn't help according to the National Christmas Tree Association or NCTA (yes, Christmas Trees have their own trade group!).
We've all been told that it is not the size of the tree that matters. But according to the NCTA the temperature of the water doesn't matter either! So, hot or cold… let it flow, let it flow, let it flow!
Check the stand daily at least twice daily for water level and make sure it doesn't drop below the base of the tree. When trees get dry, they get angry and flammable!
Don't whittle down the trunk to fit the stand… just buck up and get a large enough stand!
Use lights that are low heat such as ones with miniature bulbs. It's a Christmas Tree, not a lighthouse beacon.
Keep trees away from sources of heat (heaters, vents, sunlight, etc.). Also, don't throw gas cans and rubber tires into your fireplace or take baths with a plugged-in toaster. These are all in the same category of bad ideas.
Always turn off your Christmas Tree lights when you're leaving your house. Unless you want to make sure it is well lit for the Fire Department.
4. But Don't Keep it!
Never burn any part of your tree in your wood stove or fireplace. And keep your hands and feet away from the fire, too. All of the above will burn fast (though the pine may not smell as bad as your third-degree burn). There is wood that is great for this and it isn't pine from your Christmas Tree which will burn too fast, too hot and be too smoky.
Don't keep your Christmas tree well beyond the holiday season. Remember, it's called a Christmas tree, not a President's Day tree or Groundhog's Day tree for a reason. Time tends to dry things, even in the Pacific Northwest.
Do NOT throw your tree in the garbage! There are services that will pick up the tree for you. I like to give the local Boy Scouts a donation to haul the trees away. But below we will include some links to that and other options. You will likely face a fine from your management team who is responsible for keeping the garbage areas clean for waste management. Therefore, they hire magic elves to keep a look out at all hours of the day to make sure anyone who violates this rule is held accountable. Not only will there be a fine, but you will be immediately put on Santa's naughty list for the following year. So, don't do it!!!
Candles (ahem… menorahs), make sure you never leave an open flame unattended and that it is out of reach of children and pets. Especially mischievous cats!
It is a myth that alcohol makes the tree smell nicer. All it will do is impair one's ability to drive or operate heavy machinery!
From myself, and everyone at Milestone Property Management, have a happy and safe holiday season and may the new year bring you and your loved ones much joy and happiness!
Please email us with other tree recycling options at info@milestonepm.net and we will update this list with other vetted options.

I would like to nominate Corkey and Allen Fowler of Sawyer Pointe Apartments. They have always been nice and friendly, and have helped me whenever I had any kind of little troubles. They are always willing to make a good conversation.
Kellie of Orchardview Apartments is one of the sweetest people I've met. Last Thursday on my way home from the post office I saw Kellie on the side of State St. holding a little dog that looked like it was hit. Kellie brought the dog home and cleaned him up. She made lost dog posters and ads. She didn't find the owners but ended up giving the dog to one of her coworkers. She is just an all-around great person and would do anything for anyone. I nominate Kellie because I want her to know that she is appreciated.
I would like to nominate Malynda from Sawyer Pointe Apartments.
She always has a smile on her face and is willing to help a neighbor in need. With her jams and great vegetables, she is always very giving. I always see her saying hi to everyone on the property when she is out walking her dog Buddy. Last week she was willing to help relocate a baby opossum found on the property. And I also saw her help another resident carry a dresser up the stairs. She is a nice person with a caring heart.

The toilet. Some might say it is the bedrock of modern civilization. When this wonder of engineering is working correctly, it defines easy living. But when something goes wrong, you can have a crisis on your hands. Even worse, you can have a crisis on your bathroom floor. Never feel shy about calling your maintenance technician when there is any sort of issue with your porcelain pedestal. It is that important. But here are a few tips to keep everything flowing.
If you only want one rule to live by to keep your toilet in tip-top shape, remember: If it didn't come out of your body and it is not toilet paper, it doesn't go in the bowl.
Feminine hygiene products? Mmm… no.
Houseplants? Not unless you eat them first.
What about "flushable" baby wipes? Still no. Toilet paper disintegrates when it gets wet. Wipes, even when they are advertised as "flushable," do not break down and will get hung up in the pipes.
Star Wars action figures? Neither Darth Vader nor your toilet deserves that.
Cell phones? You'll have a mess on your hands and the reception will still be terrible.
Barbie Dolls or GI Joes? The loo does not discriminate… it hates all dolls.
Wash cloths? Of course, not.
Bars of soap? Try bars of nope.
Like I said, if it didn't come from your body and it is not toilet paper, it does not go in the bowl!
If you have to hold the handle down to flush, you likely have a bad flapper. Call your friendly maintenance man. This may be a simple part replacement that will save water and will keep you from excessively stressing the other parts of the flushing mechanism from holding down the handle or flushing multiple times.
If your toilet is constantly cycling (you see water movement in your toilet bowl, your toilet sometimes fills when not in use, or you hear the water cycling or filling randomly), call your friendly maintenance guy. This may not seem like such a menacing problem, but if your toilet is running for an extended period of time, that can cost you hundreds of dollars in utility bills very fast!
If you flush and large bubbles gurgle up, then your sewer is likely starting to back up. Call so we can get this some professional attention.
As far as everyday maintenance and use goes there are a few other suggestions I can offer. Never let Liquid Plumber, or any other kind of drain opening compound, anywhere near a toilet. Not only is it bad for the pipes, but when this rapidly reacts with the cold water, it can crack your toilet. This is a double whammy in a bad way. Between damaging your pipes and shattering your throne, these caustic products should give you plenty of pause.
Do not use the blue dyes or chlorine tablets in the tank. They will break down and destroy the parts in the tank. If you want to use something to keep your toilet clean, use the products that clip inside the bowl. And don't be afraid to use the good old fashioned toilet brush and toilet bowl cleaner.
Finally, always have a good plunger around. The new lower water consumption toilets are great for conserving water, but they do not flush with the same force as the older ones. A good plunger will help keep the good times rolling.
Remember when a picture had to be planned? When cameras needed film and you only had them handy when you were on vacation or at a special event? We also have a hard time remembering those days. Having a smartphone with a quality digital camera embedded in it has become quite a widespread luxury, but few of us know how to take advantage of this new norm when it comes to taking pictures of apartment homes. So we took our curiosity online to find those one or two things we can do to really make a difference.
Seeing the Light- The most common tip we see is minding the light. Natural light is preferred but when this is unavailable for an indoor shot, use what you've got! Open windows, shades and blinds to get whatever sunlight is available. Inside cabinets or in dark corners tu rn on any lighting available or bring your own.
Stage It- Staging a vacant apartment with furniture is not always realistic. It takes a lot of resources and logistics. If you are blessed with the ability to pull it off, that can lead to some great photos. If you cannot, you can still make sure debris is removed, and there are no unwanted or out of place items in the background like a waste basket or tool box. Be aware of angles that would highlight cracks in the sidewalk, an unsightly parked car or a burnt out light bulb and don't use them. Also, look for props that add warmth like flowers. Remember, this is all about creating an experience for the viewer. A big window with flowers on the sill will look a lot more compelling than a room with a bucket of paint in the corner.
It's Not About You- Are there mirrors or windows in the picture? That's fine. As long as your reflection isn't in them. The lease doesn't say you are included with the apartment, does it?
Cornering the Market- Take pictures from the corners of the rooms so you could see more walls and make the rooms look larger. Also, try taking pictures from different angles. See what the room looks like if you take the picture from a lower perspective.
While you may not have the word "photographer" on your business card or LinkedIn profile, you can still point and shoot with confidence. So fire away!
Going forward, Lee says, the Portland and Southwest Washington regions are going to face unique challenges in the multifamily housing industry. Migration patterns, rent trends, supply fluctuations and apartment offerings have been changing at break-neck speed over the past few years and they are expected to continue changing at such a pace for the foreseeable future.
"At Milestone, we believe the secret to longevity is knowledge and preparation. Our command of market data has allowed us to respond swiftly to changes, often anticipating them before they occur, and we believe that it will continue to guide us through a business environment that requires players to be nimble in order to succeed," Lee says.
Lee connects the emphasis on understanding tenants with the new service, Apartment Genie PDX, since it provides Milestone with more opportunities to ask prospects about their needs and learn about them. It shifts the process into an exercise about the tenant instead of one that commonly focuses on the property or vacancy.
"You cannot replace real service with an app," says Lee. "Technology is great, but it will never replace someone who really cares.


Swans who have made their home at Sutton Harbour are being taken away - because they're sick.
On Monday one of the swans was rescued by RSPCA officers and driven to the West Hatch wildlife rehabilitation centre in Somerset.
The swan was "showing signs of lethargy" and a member of the public alerted the animal welfare charity.
This afternoon officers are back at the harbour checking the rest of the birds to see if they're in need of treatment too.
Beth, the 'Swan Lady', who has been looking after the swans off her own back for 14 years, says she is worried they might die.
But the RSPCA has assured that once the animals are better, they will be brought home to Plymouth again.
Jim Farr, Devon and Cornwall RSPCA inspector, said: "We think some contamination may have got into the basin. I picked a seagull up the other day and it had some film on it.
"Until we get proper tests, we won't know for sure. Has a trawler discharged something? Has a restaurant thrown something out?
"It's unusual for all of them to be infected with the same thing.
"The aim is to rehabilitate them."
Sutton Harbour Holdings, which owns and runs the harbour, said: "We are sorry to learn that some of the swans regularly seen in Sutton Harbour are unwell and have been removed by the RSPCA for treatment, and we commend the member of the public who altered the agency to help.
Today all but three swans have been taken away from the harbour for treatment.
Suzanna Norbury, from the RSPCA, said: "I understand concerns have been raised about the welfare of swans near Marrowbone Slip at Sutton Harbour by members of the public, after the birds were reported to be showing signs of lethargy.
"One swan was rescued by RSPCA officers on Monday (September 24) and taken to the RSPCA West Hatch wildlife rehabilitation centre in Somerset, where the veterinary team are now monitoring the swan's condition.
"The remaining swans at the location are also due to be checked by the team on Wednesday (September 26) and transferred to RSPCA West Hatch for further treatment if needed."
The Swan Lady, said she noticed something wasn't right with the birds last week.
She said she arrived one morning at 4.30am to feed the birds, but they weren't waiting for her in their normal spot to be fed.
"It could be possible lead poisoning," she said, "from the boats in the water.
"Luckily all summer we've had nothing gone wrong with them, apart from one with a broken wing, but now all of them have discharge down their beaks and they're getting dirtier every day. They've got no energy; they don't want to move.
"They're very ruffled, which isn't normal."


It is well-known that the U.S. skill in numerical weather prediction (NWP), as measured by NCEP's Global Forecast System (GFS), lags behind other centers, most notably the ECMWF. In this talk, we will discuss some of the reasons for this discrepancy and provide a potential path forward for the U.S. to match or surpass ECMWF accuracy. In doing so, we will examine the history of U.S. NWP, the selection process for the new dynamic core for NCEP's global model, current status of convection-allowing models and ensemble forecasting, and the opportunity NCEP has to make rapid progress.
