This renowned motor vehicle arrived in the past in 1981. It really is the manufacturing of joints endeavor among Fiat, Peugeot, and even Citroen. There are several other nameplates just for this design, including Peugeot Boxer and more. To date, we now have observed 3 decades of this. A present version exists considering that 2006, nevertheless it got numerous upgrades up to now. The past 1 was 2 years in the past if this can get lots of something entirely new, especially with regards to style. Because these changes will still be entirely new, we think which usually 2019 Ducato will not characteristic more significant differences when compared with the present design.
While we mentioned previously, present technology of the business car days from 2006 when the most modern upgrades was a couple of years back.

Your 2019 Fiat Ducato include many motors in offering you. As this is a professional motor vehicle, the concern is defined about fuel economy. As a result, nearly all of the motors are diesel, though Dodge's model incorporates a sizeable gas 3.6 liter Pentastar generator. Basic design includes 2. liter diesel-engined car engine, which is perfect for around 115 horses. Following the initial one is the 2.3-liter engine, which will come in 2 strength designs. You may select from design through 130 horsepower and even 240 lb-toes associated with torque, and even product with 150 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. Eventually, there exists a main version that includes a 3. liter generator, using 175 hp together with 300 lb-ft . of torque.

First Post | Stoat – Where?
Every blog needs a first post, and this one is mine.
It seems that the next 'thing' everybody should have is a blog, so here's my humble attempt. It's my effort at keeping in touch with people, because I'm not much use at it at the best of times, and living halfway around the world for a year's only going to make things worse. I've never liked writing group emails, and it was about time I learned how to use web based applications, so I'm trying Moveable Type.
At the moment of course, there's not much to say! I've now got my visa, but am still not sure where exactly in Japan I'll be. If and when anything interesting happens, I'll write it here!

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Europe, and it is something that very few Americans really relate to, has
been terribly damaged from the World Wars.  Not only were countries totally
decimated, so were complete family trees, specially the one relating to the
Jewish faith.

In the past forty years, many films have depicted this destruction, and the
human suffering which it had caused.  Be it an Italian film like THE
BICYCLE THIEF, or later, the polish film KNIFE IN THE WATER, and the ability
of many film makers to begin expressing themselves through the film medium,
the main theme was always someone's incredible journey of survival against
some incredible odds.  Aside from the more unusual films about the war, like
THE TIN DRUM, almost all of them, stand up for the defense of the faith,
indeed any faith, that was oppressed.

Today, there are some people who lived in those days as youngsters, and some
of them, have finally out lived their fears, to be able to tell a horrific
story, and while they still have a sense of religious piety, they more often
than not have yet, a larger sense of self, than most.

Solomon Perel, was just such a person, who basically along the way, got a
bit lucky, and was able to survive because he went to a few schools and
learned a language or two, which as it turns out, was his saving grace.  The
struggle for survival takes many turns.  But as almost all of them  around
him fall by wayside ( they all display an over emotional response,  by the
way ) he manages to hold his head together long enough to keep himself alive
until the war ends, or his freedom, if he can find a way.  Solomon
Perel was luckier than most, he escaped to Palestine, and now lives in
Israel.

This film is more about the indoctrination of the younger ones, than it is
about anything else.  The Germans spent a lot of effort educating their
future generation of Aryans to rule the world.  And the Russians spent a lot
of time convincing many that their atheistic view point was more valid than
the opposing view point.  And of course, the Jews in the film, merely remain
faithful to their creed, imposing some rules on the young ( no
different there ), but at least, it is on a more acceptable mode.   Except
for one thing which the young man has to hide during his youth, and is a bit
of a problem in the German schools.  He is circumcised, and it came close to
costing him his life.

The film moves along very well, and is not predictable at all, which is very
similar, I'm sure to what the young Solomon had to go through.  It doesn't
have boring moments, and even includes some flights of fancy by the young
man, who has a bit if a sense of humor, even if subtle.

NICE FILM. SHOULD BE SEEN BY CONSCIENTIOUS FILM VIEWERS.

The best travel site should be a valuable tool in creating your ideal trip, whether you're planning an overseas vacation, a business trip, or a weekend road-trip. Instead of asking you to go to the dozens of airline websites and hundreds of hotel websites to search for your ideal dates and route, travel sites perform all of these searches with a single click.

They came riding the winds, like the gods of our old. Deformed, fragile and hollow. They offered peace and we accepted them, we offered them our ways. They said others would come and we rejoiced. We didn't know that their peace was different than ours. They came and what we had were gone in a blink, scattered like the stars of our old. And there was no 'we' anymore. There was only 'I', alone. She was alive. She spoke and called out to me across the great void. She was magnificent, unique, covered in a shy layer of wind, glorious. Wisps of life crawling all over her. I was lonely and I'd found a home. But they might come again.

Michael Owen states his prediction for Arsenal v Crystal Palace
Liverpool FC legend Michael Owen doesn't expect Arsenal to falter against Crystal Palace at The Emirates on Sunday
Liverpool FC legend Michael Owen (Photo: BT Sport)
Michael Owen is tipping Arsenal to edge past Crystal Palace in a high-scoring game at The Emirates on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners have enjoyed a good week on two different fronts to build some momentum heading into the final stretch of the Premier League season.
Arsenal surprised some of their detractors with a narrow 1-0 victory over FA Cup finalists Watford at Vicarage Road on Monday night.
The Gunners followed up their triumph in the Premier League with an impressive 1-0 win against Napoli in Naples to progress to the Europa League semi-finals.
Arsenal are in fourth spot in the Premier League table but could be demoted to fifth position if Manchester United manage to beat Everton in Sunday's early kick-off.
Former Liverpool FC striker Owen believes that Arsenal will finish the weekend in fourth spot after tipping the Gunners to beat Crystal Palace on Sunday.
"Arsenal faced a very difficult trip to Naples on Thursday, but I feel they will pick up maximum points against Palace and gain an 11th successive home league win on Sunday – a record for the club in top-flight football," Owen told BetVictor.
"Palace have picked up more points on the road (23 of 39) than they have at Selhurst Park so far this term and although they do have pace and power on the break, I feel the Gunners will continue their excellent recent home league run."
Arsenal are looking to secure a top-four finish for the first time in two seasons after failing to do so under Arsene Wenger before his exit last summer.
The Gunners will take on Emery's former side Valencia in the Europa League semi-finals.
Arsenal managed to reach the same stage of the competition last term before a 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid cost the Gunners a place in the Europa League showpiece.

Chinese Entrepreneurs in 19/20th Century Key West
AnthroYeti / October 20, 2020
This is a short post regarding some exploratory analysis for an upcoming book project. It represents a return to some of my earliest interests in historical archaeology. Specifically, the archaeology of the Chinese diaspora. Whereas my earlier work explored the archaeology of this community around the Pacific Rim, my future research seeks to examine a less known aspect of the Chinese diaspora. Well, less known to folks who are unfamiliar with the history of Latin America and the Caribbean, where significant populations of Chinese migrants and their descendants have lived since the mid-1800s.
Location of George Ling's Laundry, 1899.
I am unaware of much research into Key West's Chinese heritage, or Florida's Chinese in general. Josephine Shih Gordy's MA thesis comes to mind, which chronicles this community in southeast Florida between 1900 and 1992. Also, Raymond Mohl's 1996 article on Asian immigration to Florida. While sitcoms like Fresh Off the Boat provide a comedic glimpse into the lives of Taiwanese-American immigrants in Orlando, Florida during the 1990s (although, to be fair, this show was filmed in California), there has been relatively little research into the historical contributions of Chinese and other Asian communities in Florida. Although representing a small portion of the state's population, Chinese migrants have deeply impacted it's history, including horticulturalist Lue Gim's contribution to the citrus industry.
A partial listing of Chinese laundries in the 1900 Key West City Directory.
The 1900 Key West City Directory lists 14 laundries in Key West, 13 of them operated by Chinese owners. As such, we can assume at least 12 individuals of Chinese ancestry are resident in or around the city. However, the 1900 US census for Key West only lists 8, and one of them is repeated. As such, out of 1690 residents whose ethnicity/race is listed, 1,521 are recorded as White, 161 as Black, and 8 as Chinese. There are no other racial categories listed in this census. We can also examine the birthplaces of Key West's inhabitants of the time. Out of 1636 records that list a birthplace, the majority hail from Florida, Cuba, and the Bahamas. Download the original images and a spreadsheet of the 1900 Key West census here.
Population by race and birthplace for Key West in 1900 (source: US Census).
This post is about preliminary research into Key West's Chinese community. As such, it is incomplete, but offers intriguing possibilities. While archaeological studies of Chinese American sites are common in the Western US, only a few such studies have occurred in the eastern US. As this research begins to take shape, feel free to xplore the locations of the Key West 1900 laundries using the webmap below.
The above map does not include the original Sanborn fire insurance map, which provides some useful context for these locations. I have stitched the Sanborns together and you can access that version of the map here. Be forewarned, it will take a few moments for the 250mb stitched map to load in your browser. Enjoy!

Why should go to the play "Three anecdotes on one topic"?
1. Get new impressions of an interesting comedy-detective genre.
2. Three different plots of the play are combined by very colorful characters.
3. The ironic presentation of a sensitive topic will not leave anyone indifferent.
We invite you to a vivid performance "Three anecdotes on one theme." The comedy-detective story about such a delicate problem as adultery is the key to a great evening in the theater!
The basis for the production was the plots of three well-known short stories: "Catch" Panas Mirny, "Chorist" by Anton Chekhov and "Fear" by Stefan Zweig. All works are connected by a single theme. This is adultery. Given that stories differ in plot, there is still something in common in them. These are two clever and funny "detective-fat", who had the job of following the wrong spouses.
We invite young couples and spouses "with experience": the play will entice everyone.
The language of the performance is Ukrainian.


It's the news we've all been waiting for. Paul W. S. Anderson's Monster Hunter movie finally has an official release date. According to Sony Pictures (via Deadline), the film adaptation of Capcom's beloved video game franchise will arrive in cinemas on the 4th September 2020.
That's bigger news than the corresponding announcement for The Last of Us Part II and Cyberpunk 2077 would be. Right?
For those who are genuinely interested to see how Anderson's Monster Hunter movie turns out, the wait is rather a long one.
However, based on everything we've heard so far, we can make an educated guess.
Starring Milla Jovovich, the film tells the story of one Lieutenant Artemis (played by Jovovich) who, along with her crack team of loyal soldiers, is suddenly transported to another world; this one filled with monstrous creatures.
There she meets a mysterious Hunter, played by Ong Bak's Tony Jaa, with whom she joins forces in order to prevent these hulking great behemoths from finding their way to Earth.
So yeah, it doesn't exactly fill us with confidence.
In more positive news, Monster Hunter World's Witcher crossover event has just gone live on PS4 and Xbox One.
Introducing a brand-new questline featuring Geralt of Rivia, the Butcher of Blaviken himself, and various exclusive rewards, today's Witcher crossover event is available as a free title update to anyone who already owns the base game.
The Monster Hunter World Appreciation Fest, meanwhile, is still in full swing. Providing players with an ideal opportunity to mop up any of the events they may have missed from the past year and/or expand their collection of cosmetics with a number of special anniversary items.

⬅ Tales from the Crypt Episode 68:...
Bride of the Gorilla (1951) ➡
Director: Robert Wise
Writer: Edmund H. North
Cast: Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, Hugh Marlowe, Sam Jaffe, Billy Gray, Frances Bavier, and Lock Martin
Composer: Bernard Herrmann
MPAA Rating: G
After a long journey through space, a flying saucer containing Gort—an eight-foot-tall robot equipped with a laser-like weapon—and Klaatu (Michael Rennie), a humanoid who wishes to discuss an important matter with the representatives of every nation on Earth, lands in Washington D.C. Unable to communicate as intended, Klaatu—having made the acquaintance of boarding house residents Helen and Bobby Benson (Patricia Neal and Billy Gray); Tom Stevens (Hugh Marlowe), Helen's overly suspicious boyfriend; and math professor Jacob Barnhardt (Sam Jaffe)—gives a unique and powerful demonstration, thereby winning the attention of various leaders around the world.
Complementing Harry Bates' "Farewell to the Master" narrative with Biblical and Cold War allusions, this production deserves its reputation as the quintessential science fiction offering. It should be mentioned, however, that in spite of its religious and political subtext, The Day the Earth Stood Still avoids directly preaching to the viewer in a fashion that could be construed as offensive or unsubtle—a balance that the 2008 remake fails to achieve.
One of the most iconic and praiseworthy aspects of this film concerns the performance of Michael Rennie, the gentle voice, manner, and appearance of whom adds an air of credibility to the concept of peaceful, benevolent aliens traveling millions of light years (or mere miles, in this case) in order to assist rather than enslave or conquer the occupants of Earth—a then seldom-explored theme in the science fiction genre. Reinforcing the noble intentions of Rennie's character, Klaatu interacts with and offers guidance for young Bobby as would a human father figure in the same situation—arguably the most poignant and compelling evidence for Klaatu's legitimacy as a potential savior of mankind.
The Day the Earth Stood Still provides a sci-fi twist on the life, death, and resurrection of Christ as documented in the New Testament. Specifically, Klaatu arrives on Earth to convey a message of hope and peace to all who accept it, only to be rejected and persecuted by those he wishes to deliver from evil. Upon seeking shelter in a boarding house, Klaatu (now operating under the identity of Carpenter, also the occupation of Jesus' father Joseph) informs his "disciples" (i.e., Helen and her son) of the grave importance of his mission, knowing in advance that certain details of his account will evade human comprehension for the time being.
Eventually, Klaatu is turned over to the authorities by Tom Stevens, whose motive of personal gain closely mirrors that of Judas in the Gospel of Matthew. When fatally wounded by the police as a consequence of Stevens' betrayal, Klaatu falls to the ground with his arms outstretched in a crucified pose—likely a deliberate parallel to the execution of Christ. Finally worth noting is that with the assistance of Gort, Klaatu rises from the dead to address mankind before "ascending" to the heavens—all references that, though quite subtle, will not go unrecognized by those familiar with the gospels of the New Testament.
The Day the Earth Stood Still is an aesthetically significant, politically and culturally relevant masterpiece of science fiction cinema. Thus, for fans of Rennie (also known for playing the Keeper in the eponymous two-part episode of Lost in Space) and alien invasion buffs alike, this classic film should be requisite viewing.

Brooks, James W. (1922-2006)
James W. Brooks made his way to Alaska as a seventeen-year-old in 1940. He found a new world that offered occupations suited to an adventurous young man: fisherman, railroad worker, Caterpillar operator, trapper, musher, wartime flyer, walrus researcher, bush pilot, and whale biologist. He led the Territory of Alaska's wildlife management program into the era of statehood and later served as commissioner of the state Department of Fish and Game. Brooks has published numerous scientific and popular articles on Alaska's living resources. He received an honorary Doctor of Science degree from his alma mater, the University of Alaska, in 1989.
North to Wolf Country: My Life Among the Creatures of Alaska (Paperback)
By James W. Brooks
Availability: Hard to Find
Published: Epicenter Press (WA) - March 1st, 2004
In a beautifully written memoir, Brooks tells of being drawn to the North, where he lived off the land in the final years of the Territory of Alaska. Later, he served as commissioner of fish and game under two governors.
Literally, Brooks lived and worked among the creatures of Alaska, from the walrus and seal habitats of the Bering Sea to the commercial fisheries in the Panhandle, and from the vast waterfowl nesting grounds of the Southwest river deltas to the harsh Arctic home of the polar bear.
Brooks balanced politics and science in dealing with battles over wildlife management including controversial aerial wolf hunting intended to conserve moose populations that feed many two-legged creatures of Alaska.

Firehouse Hotel
Hotels, Design, Interior Design
710 S Santa Fe Ave
Project Name Firehouse Hotel Posted in Hotels, Design, Interior Design Location
Completed April 2019 Rooms 9
Housed in a converted 1927 fire station in Los Angeles's Arts District, a former industrial hub that has evolved into one of the hottest neighbourhoods in town, Firehouse Hotel is a nine-room boutique establishment that opened its doors in April of this year to the delight of locals and visitors alike. The brainchild of hospitality entrepreneur Dustin Lancaster, the hotel is a love letter to the city of L.A., nostalgically embracing its storied past while dynamically embodying its burgeoning present, courtesy of local interior design studio ETC.etera whose eclectic, narrative-driven renovation imbued the century-old building with a funky playfulness. Comprising a new restaurant, bar, café and retail shop, Firehouse Hotel not only celebrates the building's iconic architectural status, but also pays homage to the fire station's community-centric role by re-inventing itself as a community meeting point, now swapping fire-dousing with appetite-quenching.
Once a rundown area of abandoned warehouses and derelict factories in Downtown L.A., the area found new life in the 1970s when artists flocked here in search of large, inexpensive spaces they could use as studios, ensuring the preservation of many historic, early 20th century buildings that would otherwise have been torn down. It didn't take long for galleries to spring up, which in the 1990s, along with a blossoming underground art scene most gloriously manifested through a burgeoning number of extraordinary murals, earned the neighbourhood its 'Art District' designation status. The area has since attracted droves of young creatives and professionals working in green technology, architecture and entertainment, to become one of L.A.'s trendiest neighbourhoods.
Amid the melange of converted warehouses and swanky contemporary developments, the iconic fire station stands out for its classically graceful façade, something that immediately caught Lancaster's attention, who instantly fell in love with it the moment he came across it about ten years ago. So when the opportunity arose in 2016 to convert the building into a hotel he jumped at the opportunity it in partnership with his developer-friend Tyler Stonebreaker.

The main challenge facing interior designer Sally Breer and her team at ETC.etera in renovating such an iconic building, home to LA's Engine Co. No. 17 for 53 years until 1980, was the infusion of a fresh, modern sensibility without effacing the fire station's industrial heritage. To do so the team came up with an underlying narrative populated by two fictional characters, Mabel, a mom who took over the building as a boarding house in the 1940s while raising her daughter, Marta, who in the 1970s took over from her mother adding a funky layer to the existing décor. The result is an palimpsest-like, retro-industrial interior where layers of patterns, textures, artwork and custom fixtures, whimsically co-exist with an eclectically curated collection of vintage furniture and contemporary pieces from Breer's own collection for ETC.etera amid a backdrop of industrial windows, original brickwork and exposed wood truss ceilings.

Undoubtedly, the building's most iconic elements are the two towering red doors that used to let fire trucks in and out of the station, which now swing open ushering guests into the ground floor reception and lobby area, a bright, soaring space whose subdued sensibility is jazzed up by colourful furnishings, playful patterns and lush indoor plants. Observant guests will also notice two circles visible in the ground where the fire poles used to be, while a hose drying tower further attests to the original use of the space.
The street-facing reception also includes a coffee bar that offers beverages as well as freshly baked pastries, breakfast and lunch options 7 days a week, along with a boutique selling a curated selection of LA-centric goods that include in-room amenities such as Clare V's exclusively-made seersucker bathrobes and Hedley & Bennett's Firehouse Jacket – a lightweight, utilitarian coat designed as part of the hotel staff's uniform – as well as items like ceramics, glassware, candles and textiles, that adorn the hotel's public spaces.
Further back, the whitewashed walls of the lobby give way to the bar's darker interior which is dominated by a long, light grey, Carrera marble-topped counter and an undulating, pale green, pipe-like light fixture overhead, custom-designed by local creative Simon St. James. Despite the dark-teal painted walls and ceilings, exposed brickwork sections and concrete floor, the space does not feel gloomy thanks to large glazed areas, modelled on the original windows, and a mirrored back wall. Outside, running the entire length of the building, a covered patio accommodates most of the restaurant's seating in a bright, airy space of understated elegance, while the fire station's former handball court in the back now serves as a spacious private dining room that can seat 30 people.

The whimsical aesthetic of retro-industrial charm that characterizes the hotel's public areas on the ground floor is carried on upstairs in the nine guest rooms which are named after the dominant colour of their interior design – Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet, White and Black. Despite their names, the rooms feature a mostly neutral colour palette of white walls and hardwood floors, their named colour prudently being used in selective furnishings such as curtains, cabinetry and hand-painted ceramic tiles in the bathrooms. The uniqueness of each room goes beyond the use of colour with a carefully curated collection of furniture and fixtures that range from vintage Moroccan and 1960s milk glass pendants to classical flowered drapes and whimsical wallpapers

Equipped with kitchenettes, complete with stylish SMEG refrigerators, all of the hotel's rooms were designed for extended stays, although we suspect that guests may find it hard to skip the hotel's restaurant, which under the supervision of Executive Chef Ashley Abodeely offers spirited, comfort food such as burgers cooked on the wood burning grill, house-made focaccia served with roasted garlic oil and beef carpaccio topped with arugula pesto and fried capers. An eclectic wine menu by sommelier Matthew Kaner and a creative list of cocktails by mixologist Sarah Boisjoli, such as Ghost Dance (Coconut, Lemon Verbena, Falernum, Cachaca, Tequila Blanco) and Larry Schneider's Dad (Amaro Angeleno, Amontillado, Vermouth & Rye), further brandish Firehouse Hotel's credentials as one of L.A.'s most zesty new hospitality venues that intuitively encapsulates the city's seductive energy and eternal sunshine.

Veera Hiranandani Views Partition Through the Eyes of a Child in 'The Night Diary'
Lakshmi Gandhi
In Veera Hiranandani's new middle-grade novel The Night Diary, readers meet Nisha, a shy and thoughtful tween who is about to come of age in what when then known as British India. At 12, Nisha and her twin brother Amil have already been through a lot. Their mother (who was Muslim) died in childbirth and they are being raised by their Hindu father and grandmother in the province of Sindh.
The family's calm life abruptly changes in 1947, with the Partition of India and Pakistan. Nisha uses the diary she receives as a birthday gift to record the long and traumatic journey the family takes as they leave everything they've ever known to cross the border into India.
We reached out to Hiranandani to talk to her about her book, writing about traumatic events, and the importance of preserving the stories of Partition.
The Teal Mango: Congrats on how well The Night Diary has been received! It seems to have struck a chord with a lot of readers.
Veera Hiranandani: I'm so stunned and amazed by that. I really didn't know how the book would be received. I had the idea for the book for awhile and I thought, 'you know what, I'm just going to do a Partition story.'
TTM: You mention in your author's note that parts of the book are based on your own family's experience. Can you talk a little more about that?
Hiranandani: Part of the story is based on my father's family. He grew up in Mirpur Khas, which is now in Pakistan and his family can be traced back hundreds of years in [the province of] Sindh. In 1947 he was nine and I don't think his family understood the magnitude of what was happening — how could they? My father left Mirpur Khas with my grandmother and four of his siblings and then my grandfather followed on a train later. Growing up I'd hear stories about what happened from my aunts and uncles, but in bits and pieces because they were protecting me from what really happened.
My grandfather was the head of the hospital in Mirpur Khas and they didn't want to let him leave because then there would be no doctor there. So then he just left. It was a harrowing time, but they made it out safely. So many other families experienced violence.
It wasn't until I saw the movie Gandhi when I was 11 that I had seen Partition depicted and I realized that this was what my family went through. It peaked my curiosity and I wanted to learn more.
TTM: Talking to other South Asian Americans whose families were directly affected by Partition, I've found that a lot of them have said that their parents and grandparents never talk about it. The memories are too traumatic for them.
Hiranandani: I find that [not talking about it] is very common. I think that because my family survived and they weren't in a refugee camp because they had family members who helped them get an apartment, that they could talk about it.
I have an aunt — she married my uncle, who has since passed away — and all I know is that she was stabbed, but that's all we know about it. We knew not to ask about it.
TTM: Is part of the reason that you wrote this book because you wanted to tell those stories?
Hiranandani: People of my generation, we have sort of this sense of urgency to preserve this history now. Have you heard of the 1947 Partition Archive? It's an online archive and oral history project that's collecting these stories. The first partition museum also opened about a year ago. So there is that sense of urgency, and this was my contribution to telling that story.
TTM: How did you do your research for this book? Did you talk to your dad a lot about his memories?
Hiranandani: I would have several conversations with my dad. He would look at the draft and give suggestions. I also read books like The Other Side of Silence by Urvashi Butalia and Yasmin Khan's The Great Partition. I would also look at personal testimonies, I listened to hundreds of these and talked to other friends and relatives about their experiences.
I wanted to incorporate bits and pieces of all of these stories, that's why I made Nisha half Muslim and half Hindu. She has a Muslim mother and a Hindu father and I wanted to look at how these communities that had been living together were torn to pieces after these lines were drawn. It ignited so quickly. I felt like Nisha could really ask those questions.
TTM: Have you ever thought about going to Pakistan to visit the town your family is from?
Hiranandani: I've definitely thought about it. And my father is 80 now, but he's never been back since he left when he was nine. An equal amount of people were displaced from both sides of the border, so there's this shared pain, but it isn't shared in a way. So I would be very interested in going, but I don't know when and how or how my father would feel about it. But I would think that he would want to come with me.

The purpose of the decision is to agree the Council's response to consultation on a proposed amendment to the Development Consent Order (planning permission) for the A14 improvement scheme, to change the status of the stretch of the A14 between the M11 at Girton and new Ellington junction and the A1 between Alconbury and Brampton from all-purpose trunk road to motorway. The consultation deadline is 28 February 2019. When the response is sent to the Planning Inspectorate it will make clear that it is provisional at this stage and subject to completion of the Council's normal procedural requirements.
The Council has previously supported the A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme.
Highways England has made an application to the Secretary of State to alter the Development Consent Order. The Planning Inspectorate will consider the responses received and advise the Secretary of State for Transport. It is anticipated the Secretary of State will make a decision this year. If approved, the new motorway status will apply to the road once the current improvement works are complete.
Highways England's application to amend the Development Consent Order (DCO) describes it as a non-material change to the A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme Development Consent Order 2016. The changes principally affect the regulations governing the use of the roads, allowing the introduction and enforcement of motorway regulations including the prohibition of certain types of vehicle and the use of Variable Mandatory Speed Limits as a tool to manage traffic flow when appropriate. It should not, therefore, make any alterations to the existing provisions and requirements in the DCO which Highways England will need to fulfil in delivering the A14 Improvement Scheme.
The current consultation does not propose to amend the design of A14 Improvement Scheme which is already being built to a very high specification. It will also not impact on the delivery or opening of the new road; Highways England state the road is on schedule to open to traffic by December 2020. However, signage will need to be changed from those with a green background (for a trunk road) to blue (motorway) and the road number will alter to A14(M).
Whilst motorway status would preclude some slow road users, such as cyclists and farm vehicles, access to non-motorway traffic and local land owners is provided via the local access road and non-motorised user routes. Therefore the change in status should not affect accessibility for any road users and local land owners.
Highways England predict the change in status would result in no more than a 2% increase in traffic, including HCVs resulting from a small transfer of traffic from local roads to the motorway, helping get the right traffic on the right roads. On this basis, Highways England considers there would be no change in noise levels and air quality. Advice from Environmental Health officers confirms that any increase in noise and air quality would be imperceptible.
Highways England claim motorways are twice as safe as A-road dual carriageways and six times safer than single-carriageway roads and that England's motorways are amongst the world's safest roads. With motorway status Highways England would have the ability to vary mandatorily the speed limit to improve traffic flow efficiency and safety around incidents, which may deliver benefits to the local and national economy, and local residents by keeping traffic on the most appropriate roads and out of villages and parts of Cambridge, and in terms of noise and air quality for these residents through improved safety and more consistent journey times. Addressing congestion and improving traffic flow on the A14 is in line with recommended actions in the Council's Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP).

"What if I hadn't woken up? And my heart remained still? And that was the end of me? What if …? What if Thousand Islands Emergency Rescue hadn't come for me… ? Fred Schmitt, Clayton
At TIERS, your life is our mission.
The TIERS Saving One Life at a Time Campaign seeks $1,300,000 to ensure the continued provision of the highest level of emergency medical care available to the Towns of Clayton and Orleans and their associated islands as well as to the broader Thousand Islands region through mutual aid. The Campaign will provide:
Enhanced patient care through reduced response times which are essential to emergency medical care and expanded training and community outreach capabilities
A permanent facility that meets the needs of a modern and model emergency medical services agency while simultaneously lowering operational costs
An endowment to provide long-term financial support and sustainability.
TIERS AND ITS MISSION
TIERS was formed as a non-profit 501 (c)(3) agency in 2001 by a group of forward-looking community members who recognized that fewer and fewer volunteers were available to respond to medical emergencies and even fewer possessed the advanced professional certifications needed for more critical emergencies. It is governed by a 12-person Board of Directors.
Created to deliver paramedic-level emergency care, the highest level of emergency care available, and to ensure that medical emergencies are addressed promptly and at all times, TIERS is staffed around the clock, 365 days per year using both paid staff and volunteers. (Employee roster: 5 Full Time Employees; 14 Part-Time Paramedics; 7 Part-Time EMT's; 23 Volunteer Driver/ EMT's and1 Part-Time Admin. Asst.)
TIERS is unique in the tri-county region, being the only not-for-profit emergency medical services provider that ensures 24/7 paramedic-level care. Since its inception, TIERS has averaged 1,000 calls annually and over 15,000 in total, saved scores of lives, and prevented countless long-term injuries and infirmities. The quality of care delivered and the innovations it has implemented earned TIERS an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Agency of the Year Award from the NYS Department of Health.
TIERS was first in the region to:
Be certified to administer narcotics
Offer a paramedic "fly-car" to enhance the availability and geographic reach of advanced-level emergency care
Initiate in-home follow-up visits with patients as well as in-home safety assessments and fall prevention classes
Establish a Community Health Education Program for First Aid/CPR/Automated External Defibrillator use.
Create, with Jefferson Community College, the first off-site training center for Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs)
Establish a Junior EMS program for area youth and a Paramedic Student Bunk-in Program
TIERS is the first line of defense in the health care system for residents of Orleans and Clayton Townships, providing the highest level of professional emergency care available with on-duty paramedic-level responders available 24/7. Specifically, TIERS:
Operates four fully-equipped ambulances stationed in Clayton and Fishers Landing
Responds "out-the-door" in less than two minutes with ambulances outfitted for advanced care, serving as "emergency rooms on wheels"
Responds with paramedics whose training includes over 600 hours of clinical care experience, and represent a level of care typically available only in larger urban areas
Works in tandem with the Clayton Volunteer Fire Department , Wellesley Island Fire and Rescue and their Fire Boats to respond to emergencies occurring on the islands within the two townships and with Life Net Air Ambulance for patients needing specialty care
Provides mutual aid to the Towns of Cape Vincent and Alexandria as well as Wellesley Island when their volunteer rescue squads are either unable to respond or encounter more serious emergencies requiring a higher level of critical care
Offers inter-facility transportation services for hospital patients in the region
Provides medical education and training opportunities to residents throughout the region
TIERS was established as a not-for-profit charitable organization with its annual $600,000 operating budget derived from three funding sources:
One third from the Townships of Clayton and Orleans that supports basic readiness
Patient billing which accounts for about half of the annual income
Fund-raising, charitable giving and grants which account for the remainder
On the expense side:
Fully two-thirds of TIERS' annual expenditures are for paramedic and EMT staff delivering patient care
Additional significant costs items include ambulance purchases and operations, pharmaceutical and medical supplies, and the building lease
TIERS has modest annual debt obligations associated with the purchase of its Advanced Life Support ambulances, with interest payments being less than two percent of the operating budget. The agency's finances are reviewed annually by a CPA firm to ensure compliance with reporting requirements for non-for-profit organizations.
Like most EMS providers nationwide, TIERS' finances are pressured continually by added mandates and certification requirements, rising costs for drugs and medicines, declining volunteerism, and flat revenues.
THE FACILITY PLAN
In its on-going effort to enhance emergency medical services while also reducing operating costs, the TIERS Board of Directors undertook a rigorous planning process to create the 2014-2017 Strategic Plan. One of the four overarching goals of this plan is to "Secure a Permanent Facility". Currently, TIERS is housed in a makeshift, leased space ill-suited to the needs of a modern, professional EMS organization. The proposed new facility will:
Reduce response times, a critical requirement for the delivery of emergency medical services and quality patient care
Improve training capabilities and community outreach and, in turn, improve patient care
Enhance the work environment and the recruitment and retention of staff essential to the mission of TIERS
Improve pharmaceutical security and the lifespan of drugs through better climate control
Lower operational expenses by eliminating lease and leasehold improvement costs and strengthen the agency's sustainability
A modest yet efficient facility is currently in the architectural planning phase, one that meets TIERS' basic needs. By locating the facility on a site adjacent to the Clayton Volunteer Fire Department, a "public safety campus" will be created in a location that reduces response times to residents of the two townships and the larger Thousand Islands region. The facility will include:
An ambulance bay for three ambulances (the fourth is stationed at Fishers Landing), a paramedic emergency-intercept vehicle (fly car), an off-road recue trailer, drug and medication storage, and areas for decontamination and oxygen storage
An administration section that includes an EMS training classroom, offices, and a communications center
A living quarters area with bunkrooms, kitchen and lounge
THE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
THE CAMPAIGN GOAL
The TIERS Board has established an aggressive timeline for the $1.3 million Campaign and the building construction. In spring and early summer of 2015, individual and family leadership and major gifts will be sought. Grants and major gifts from foundations, corporations and governmental agencies will also be solicited in this same timeframe. The community-wide public phase of the Campaign will take place in fall 2015.
The goal is to begin construction in early fall 2015 and to move into the new facility in spring 2016.
The timetable for the new facility is facilitated by the use of pre-engineered construction which will both lower costs and shorten construction time. Once gifts and commitments exceed $700,000, bids will be sought so construction can be started and the building under roof before the onset of inclement weather.
Of the $1.3 million goal, just under $1 million is for construction and the associated architectural, engineering and financing fees. Additional funding is for furniture and fixed equipment needed to outfit the facility, for on-going support and for the creation of an endowment fund. Three percent of the funds raised will be used to cover Campaign expenses.
We have rolled our Annual Lifesaver request for support for TIERS into the Campaign so this will be our only request for financial support over a three-year period.

The TIERS Saving One Life at a Time Campaign is co-chaired by Dan Throop and George Kittle with Fred Schmitt serving as honorary chair. Other members from the communities include Donna Cantwell, Bobby Cantwell, Marv Hart, Ann Potter, Fred Schmitt, Jim Schnauber, Richard "Doc" Withington, and Jack Woodward. Representatives from the TIERS Board include the Chair, Bud Baril, Debbie Hunter and Treasurer John Timmerman. Representatives from the TIERS staff include Roland Churchill and Michael Bennett
TIERS is your first-responder emergency medical services provider and has been recognized by its statewide peers for the exceptional level of care it provides. The Saving One Life at a Time Campaign creates a special opportunity to secure a permanent home for TIERS that will in turn enhance the emergency medical care available to you and your loved ones as well as ensure the sustainability of this life-saving service, one that is unique in the Thousand Islands region.
TIERS needs your generous help so it can continue to provide you with on-site 24/7 availability and with the highest level of emergency care available. With your generous support, the question "What if TIERS hadn't come for me?" will continue to be answered: "They will always come, and quickly, and prepared for any level of emergency."
