Chris Wood leaves Newcastle for Forest ahead of £15m transfer
By Sports Desk January 20, 2023
Newcastle United striker Chris Wood has joined Nottingham Forest on an initial loan deal, which is set to become permanent at the end of the season.
Wood only signed for Newcastle in January 2022, leaving then-relegation rivals Burnley in a £25million move.
Although Burnley were subsequently relegated, Newcastle stayed up comfortably under Eddie Howe and a year later are well in contention for Champions League qualification.
But having started 15 of his 17 Premier League appearances for the Magpies last term, Wood's 18 outings in this campaign have included only four starts and account for a meagre 437 minutes.
Wood found himself behind the fit-again Callum Wilson and club-record signing Alexander Isak in the pecking order, with the New Zealand international having scored just four times across 35 appearances.
He will instead spend at least the rest of the season at Forest, who have recruited Wood following news of an injury to Taiwo Awoniyi as they bid to secure their Premier League status for next season.
The agreement contains "a conditional obligation to become a permanent deal", Forest confirmed, with reports suggesting the achievable criteria of those conditions will lead to a £15m move.
Wood was no longer a starter at St James' Park, but only Jacob Murphy (36) had made more Premier League appearances for Newcastle since his arrival from Burnley, and Howe wants a replacement for the 31-year-old forward.
Ahead of the transfer on Friday, Howe said: "Hopefully, we're planning to replace him.
"Certainly, from my side, there was no thought of letting a player go and not replacing [them]. I think that would leave us dangerously short of players."
Howe acknowledged the club were now in a "difficult situation" in the transfer market but recognised Wood's departure represented "a very good deal financially".

Australian Open: Djokovic revels in 'biggest victory of my life' after landing 10th title
Novak Djokovic described his latest Australian Open triumph as "probably the biggest victory of my life" as he put last year's adversity behind him to win the title for a 10th time.
The Serbian defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-5) at Rod Laver Arena on Sunday to draw level with Rafael Nadal on 22 grand slam crowns – a joint-record for male players.
Djokovic dropped just one set across his seven matches in a dominant display down under, coming a year on from being deported from the country ahead of the 2022 edition.
He was denied the opportunity to defend his title following a row over his COVID-19 vaccination status, which also saw him banned from entering the country until 2025.
However, he had his visa ban overturned in November and made up for lost time, with his straight-sets win against Tsitsipas also seeing him regain the world number one spot.
Djokovic broke down in tears after sealing victory in a little under three hours and then gave an emotional speech in his on-court interview.
"This has been one of the most challenging tournaments I have ever played in my life considering the circumstances, not playing last year, coming back this year," he said.
"I want to thank all the people who made me feel welcome, made me feel comfortable to be in Melbourne and to be in Australia.
"There is a reason why I have played my best tennis throughout my career in this arena. I try to pinch myself and really live through these moments.
"It's a long journey. Only the team and the family knows what we have been through in the last four or five weeks.
"I would say this is probably the biggest victory of my life, considering those circumstances. Thank you so much – and hopefully see you next year."
Djokovic landed his first Australian Open title 15 years ago and has now won 28 matches in a row at his favourite tournament.
At 35 years, he is the third-oldest male in the Open Era to win the Australian Open singles title after Ken Rosewall and Roger Federer, another of his long-time rivals.
Tsitsipas labelled his opponent as the greatest of all time after the match, and Djokovic also had some kind words to share as he backed the Greek to challenge in more majors.
"Thanks so much for being so kind and respectful," Djokovic said. "On the court we are fierce competitors, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't respect each other.
"I congratulate you on an amazing tournament. Tough luck tonight. This will not be your last grand slam final, you have a lot of time.
"You are one of the most professional players I know on the tour, and one of the most interesting."
Djokovic, whose 93 ATP titles is the fourth most of any male in the Open Era, added: "I'd like to finish off by commenting something on Greece and Serbia.
"We are two relatively small countries that don't really have a tennis tradition. We didn't really have players to look up to.
"I think the message for any young tennis player around the world watching this now, dreaming to be where we are now, dream big. Anything is possible.
"Don't let anyone take away the dream. It doesn't matter where you're coming from. I think the more disadvantaged a childhood you have, the stronger you become.
"We are the proof of that. Don't let anybody take that dream away from you. Water it like you would water the flowers.
"Even if you can only find one person in the world that supports you, dream big and you can make it."
Leicester City have completed a short-term deal for Brazilian winger Tete.
The 22-year-old left Shakhtar Donetsk following the Russian invasion of Ukraine last year, joining Lyon in March after players in the country were given permission by FIFA to suspend their contracts.
After eight goals and nine assists in 30 appearances for the French side, Tete has made the move to the Premier League, although his new club confirmed he is due to return to Shakhtar at the end of the season.
Upon signing for the Foxes, Tete told the club's media: "I'm really happy to be here. I've had a look at the pitch and the stadium, it's beautiful and I can already imagine what it'll be like with a lot of fans. I hope to score a lot of goals and assists. I hope they'll all be happy to see me play, I'm happy to be a Fox."
Tete began his career at Gremio and has represented Brazil at under-20 and under-23 level.
He could make his debut for Brendan Rodgers' side in their trip to Aston Villa on February 4.
Australian Open: Dominant Djokovic lands 22nd grand slam title to draw back level with Nadal
Novak Djokovic defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets in Sunday's final to land a record-extending 10th Australian Open title and draw level with Rafael Nadal on 22 grand slams.
The 35-year-old resisted a fightback from Tsitsipas by saving a set point in the second set on his way to a 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-5) victory at Rod Laver Arena as he made it 10 wins from 10 Melbourne finals.
Djokovic, who was blocked from defending his crown last year after being deported from the country over his COVID-19 vaccination status, dropped just one set across his seven matches and has now won 28 matches in a row in his favourite tournament.
The Serbian consequently reclaims the world number one spot, as well as equalling Nadal for the most singles slams won by a male player.
Tsitsipas was aiming to become the 27th male singles champion in the opening major of the year, but he was under relentless pressure right from the off and a double fault in the fourth game handed his opponent the first break of serve.
Djokovic, backed by a crowd that occasionally became too vociferous amid warnings from the umpire, served out the opening set with relative ease and continued to trouble Tsitsipas with some strong serving in the second set.
World number four Tsitsipas slowly grew in confidence and, after a string of unforced errors from Djokovic – who exchanged some strong words with coach Goran Ivanisevic – he forced set point.
But an excellent forehand winner from Djokovic prevented Tsitsipas from levelling up the match, and the Serbian went on to edge the tie-break in what was a big moment in the contest.
He had the occasional blip, with Tsitsipas earning his first break of serve in the opening game of the third set, but Djokovic responded instantly with another backhand winner to level up.
There was little to separate the two in the next 10 games as another set went the distance, and once again it was Djokovic who held his nerve in an entertaining tie-break to wrap up the victory in a time of two hours and 56 minutes.

If you're unable to work due to a long-term disability, you may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). But before you begin receiving benefits, you must apply through the Social Security Administration (SSA). And the SSA requires quite a lot of information. Below is a disability application checklist with the most important documents you'll most likely need.
Before you can begin receiving benefits, the SSA needs to verify your identity. These two documents certify that you are either an American or a legal alien. You can submit a copy of your birth certificate, as long as it is certified by the issuing agency.
The SSA wants information on where you have worked in the past 15 years. Be sure to include copies of your latest W2 or tax forms. This disability report form is also required. It details your job title, dates of employment, salary, and job responsibilities. Before issuing benefits the SSA wants to determine if you can continue doing your job. If you can't, they'll attempt to find you another similar job before awarding you benefits.
On your application, include the names, addresses and phone numbers of your doctors treating you, hospitals, and clinics. The Disability Determination Services (DDS) are responsible for determining whether or not you're eligible for benefits. They'll use this information to gather your medical records.
Medical records are extremely useful to the DDS. They include x-rays, MRIs, blood tests and more. The DDS use your medical records as evidence that you are undergoing treatment for your disability. Include the phone number and address of the facility where the tests were performed. Your medications are also useful information to the DDS. Include the medications you're currently on, medications you've taken in the past, and the reasons for discontinuing any medications.
Even if you're not currently married, you'll need to gather a few documents for the SSA. They'll want to see your marriage certificate, spouse's full name, and Social Security number. In addition, any divorce decrees are also applicable. The SSA uses this information to see if your spouse is eligible for benefits on your work record.
Similar to your spouse record, the SSA wants to see if your dependents are eligible for benefits on your record. Include your dependents (if under the age of 19), their Social Security numbers, and dates of birth.
This information allows the SSA to see if you meet the program requirements. But they also use this information to pay you. Nowadays, disability payments made by the SSA are paid via direct deposit. So if they approve your claim, they'll need your bank's routing and account numbers. In addition, they might ask for other financial information like recent pay stubs and bank statements.
While this does not apply to everyone if you served in the military before 1968, your military service papers are required. You may actually qualify for extra earnings. This document can be a DD-214 – Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
Missing Documents from The Disability Application Checklist?
If you don't have all the documents listed above in the disability application checklist, there is no need to delay your application! Submit the documents you do have. Usually, you can provide any missing documents later. In fact, the SSA can even help you obtain them if you don't have them already.
Also, if you don't have any recent, or enough work history – you should still apply. You may qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The application forms and medical requirements are exactly the same.
If you need help submitting the documents listed on this disability application checklist, consider speaking to an experienced disability attorney or advocate. These experts are trained to help you win your much-needed benefits and can guide you through the process. Ready to see if you may qualify?

Sample Sunday Excerpt from 'Bunny on a Bike'
Bev and Carol take a weekend away before starting work at the Playboy casino.
The Long Mynd
We had come to the end of our training and when Dad picked me up I had the same feeling that I'd had when I had driven through the gates of Keele University for the last time, having spent three glorious years enjoying myself, discovering English Literature and listening to Molière's plays on a long-playing record, in a small room, presided over by my somnolent French tutor.
With my exquisitely educated brain I had two thoughts: I wish I'd done a degree in astro-physics and now the shit is really going to hit the fan! I had delayed the inevitable moment when I would actually have to earn a living, but now the time had come when I would be put to the test.
Dad took me up to the Long Mynd for the weekend. I didn't resist. Carol went off to spend some time with Dave and wander round some fields talking to pigs and cows. It would be a moment of calm, a chance to reflect and to look forward to putting what I had learned into practice. It would be a time to go for long walks and evoke fond memories of Rick and I hiding in the forest while glider pilots circled over us taking notes. Dad didn't want to talk much, so we listened to the Mike Sam Singers. The least bad tune, as I remember, was 'Trains and Boats and Planes'. I watched my dad as he drove round the winding country roads lightly drumming the steering wheel with his fingers and smiling to himself. He looked happy and kind of slow, as though he were contemplating something of very little importance or of great philosophical enlightenment. Then he told me again to take care when I drove round narrow lanes that there were not walkers on a blind bend. My father was a mystery to me all my life and now, when I say some of the same things to my own children, I wish he could hear me.
Gladys and Vera were in the kitchen, cackling away at some private joke. They made sure I was welcome and dosed me with tea and homemade fruit cake, asking me whether I was still 'chasing after that poor young boy'.
'It was nothing serious. Just a bit of fun,' I said. 'Anyway, I already have a boyfriend.'
This, apparently, was a hilarious thing to say.
Next morning the weather on the mountain was good, with a clear sky and a favourable wind direction, so that launches would be possible. Everyone looked forward to a good day's flying. After lunch I went over to the airfield and Dad took me up in his two-seater. The sound when you are inside a glider is eerie. The wind makes a soft, whistling noise that seems to wrap around you, as though you are giving the air a shape and a voice. I felt safe up in the sky in an aeroplane made of fibreglass, with no engine and only a few thermals to hold it up. I felt safe because I was with my dad and he was doing the thing he loved most in the world. He told me that there had been an accident at one of the other clubs and that it had said in the newspaper that the plane had crashed and burst into flames. Luckily I realised that this was impossible and could join in with the irony of it all.
I liked being in the sky with my dad. He was quiet most of the time, and when he spoke he did nothing to disturb the peace. He taught me some of the things that I treasure most: about being consumed by an interest and, on dark nights out on the mountain, about the stars. He knew their names and showed me the constellations, just as I do now, when I can get my children to take any notice.
That night there was a phone call for me on the clubhouse payphone, which was in the draughty and very public entrance hall. Dad said that it was Rick. He assumed, as I did, that it was Rick, and not Rick.
'Hello,' said a voice I didn't recognise.
'Hello,' I answered.
'It's Rick,' the voice continued.
And, just as I was about to say, 'No, it's not!' I realised that it was in fact Rick.
'Hello Rick.' I had one of those moments where my brain lags slightly behind my mouth and I couldn't think of what to say next.
'How are you?' he asked. He was very young and very well educated.
'Freezing, actually. What are you up to?' I was not curious, but I thought I should ask.
'Thinking about you,' he said.
'How sweet,' I replied.
I liked the boy, but there was no future in it. Bugger and damnation I was cold. Anyway, it turned out that Rick wanted to play something on the piano to me. It was 'A song for Guy' or something like that. Elton John, I think. He was rather good, but the heartfelt notes resonated relentlessly and generally went on a bit. By this time my extremities were turning blue and I was sniffing.
'That was lovely,' I said.
'Would you like me to play another?' He offered, sweetly, obviously mistaking my snuffling for heart-broken emotion.
My mind raced. 'I have to do some reading.' It was a poor excuse.
'Oh, okay. Can I call again?'
'Sure. I mean, yes.'
He didn't and I was disappointed. Everyone likes to be adored, after all.
The rest of the weekend was pleasant, apart from when I found an enormous spider in the shower and had to listen to spider stories for the rest of the evening, sitting round the clubhouse bar. I played billiards and lost some money to the one-armed bandit before walking out to my caravan in the dark, windswept night. I looked up at the sky and suddenly felt that I belonged on the mountain and not behind a blackjack table on Edgware Road. My bed was ever so slightly damp, which was normal, and I snuggled into my duvet and thought about the next day. Carol would be there and she would have the keys to our new flat in Willesden Green. It would be fun and, after all, it would not be forever. As I closed my eyes and smiled to myself at the thought of the night sky above me and all around, and pictured the glowing lights of the scattered houses in the valley below, I thought of Rick playing his piano.
Playing it for me.

About Bev
Bev Spicer
Corme Royal, Charente Maritime, France
My name is Bev and I live in SW France in a crumbly old house with a husband who's keen on renovation, two kids who are going through the French education system (arrrgh), no dogs and no cats. Bunny on a Bike is not my first book, but it is the first book to be put out into the world. Writing Bunny on a Bike was something I enjoyed doing, (my son is currently asking me whether I like bagels – distracting, in a random kind of way), because it was nice to remember all the ridiculous adventures I had in London and try to recall what it felt like to be young and ready to try anything. I hope that people who read it will laugh a lot and feel uplifted. That would be wonderful. You can have a look on Amazon Kindle if you would like to. If you want to get more of an idea of the tone of the book then I suggest you have a look at some of the posts on this blog. I have since published two mysteries and a prequel to Bunny on a Bike. I will publish my next book (suspense) next week (Oct 2013). All are listed on my blog. Thanks for visiting my page and I hope you find something you like.

065. Why Is Getting Good Mental Health Care Such a Challenge?
This is the fifth in a six-part series that explores challenges people face when they seek treatment for mental health issues. This article explores reasons for problems with care and the sixth discusses how to help yourself and loved ones to get care that works.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) "One in four adults -- approximately 57.7 million Americans -- experience a mental health disorder in a given year ... (including) one in 10 children."
Yet people often tell hair-raising stories of trouble they've had getting useful care. If mental health issues are so common, why isn't good treatment easier to get?
Two issues that probably occur to you right away are the stigma associated with mental illness and the out-of-pocket cost of treatment. Since these are well known, this column will highlight other obstacles.
First, sometimes people are treated for mental health issues when the real problem is another medical condition. An article in the Wall Street Journal by Melinda Beck reported, "More than 100 medical disorders can masquerade as psychological conditions, according to Harvard psychiatrist Barbara Schildkrout." Further, Beck noted, "Studies have suggested that medical conditions may cause mental health issues in as many as 25 percent of psychiatric patients and contribute to them in more than 75 percent."
Said another way, treatment may not work if it doesn't go after the right problem. Assume that people are treated with talk therapy for depression. Suppose that the real problem is that they have underactive thyroids. They aren't likely to get great results.
Second, drug therapy may be overused, for several reasons. Most of the psychiatrists who created guidelines a number of years ago for treating people with depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia got paid by pharmaceutical companies -- not for their work on the guidelines, but for help with research, for consulting services, for speaking, and so forth.
Is it bad for doctors to work with drug companies? Not necessarily. Who else has the experience treating patients that can be important in developing new drugs? No one.
But these connections can sometimes lead to skewed thinking. According to the Kaiser Daily Health Policy Report, "The guidelines focus heavily on medications and give little focus to non-drug treatments." The guidelines also don't talk about how to eventually get patients off the drugs, creating the impression that once people start taking them, they are on them forever.
Money issues throughout health care have led many health insurers to focus on the least expensive way to treat a problem. Typically, in the short term, that is with drugs rather than by talk therapy.
It is also common in health care for doctors to dismiss side effects as trivial, while patients may find them very disruptive. Thus, doctors may feel that the benefits of a drug for a given patient outweigh the downsides, but the patient may not agree.
Third, doctors who treat patients in psychiatric facilities may have little communication with doctors who treat them on the outside, so key information may be lost.
Dr. David M. Reiss, a psychiatrist with 25 years' experience, is now back in private practice in San Diego after a four-month stint as interim medical director of Providence Behavioral Health Hospital in Massachusetts. He explained this issue.
He noted that a number of years ago, most psychiatrists were in private practice. The doctor treating patients in a locked ward was the same one who treated them on the outside.
Now in many different facilities, he observes that generally the psychiatrists who see hospitalized patients are employees of the hospital. They may have so many patients that it is hard to spend meaningful time with each patient every day. The doctors in the hospital may have little chance to talk with patients' doctors on the outside. They may miss key background information, and the outside doctor may not hear what went on in the hospital.
Fourth, money issues mean that people getting inpatient care stay in psychiatric hospitals for an average of only 5-7 days, which is not long enough to detox them, diagnose them, and find a treatment that works.
Many people who enter a psychiatric hospital have drugs in their systems when they get there. These include alcohol, illegal drugs, and prescription medicines. In Dr. Reiss's experience, up to 70 percent of people admitted to psychiatric hospitals have been abusing mind-altering substances. These can mask the underlying problem. It's best to take a week or two to let these drugs work their way out of the patient's system. Then, once doctors can tell what is really going on, they can tell what drugs might help.
But it can take weeks to see if a new drug is actually helping a patient or not. Thus, detoxing someone and trying two or three drug treatments can easily take a month or two.
If insurance constraints limit stays to a week or so, then doctors are pressed to start new drug treatments before people are even detoxed, making it hard to come up with an accurate diagnosis or to see whether the treatment is working.
Dr. Reiss commented, "The more cutbacks there are. . .the more that we've gone to a short-term model. Basically, as soon as (patients) are not psychotic or not suicidal, they're discharged." And with this approach, he concludes, "The worse the system performs."
The goal of inpatient psychiatric care now is often simply to reduce people's symptoms so that they aren't a danger to themselves or to others. That's a useful target. But it means that people are often discharged without a meaningful plan to help them live their lives as well as possible. And without a good plan that goes beyond the short-term goal, psychiatric wards can be revolving doors -- the same patients may come back a few days or weeks later.
Regretfully, Dr. Reiss concludes, "It's s systemic problem that's getting worse and I don't see a good solution in the near future."
Fifth, the power disparity between the people being treated and the ones doing the treating can create obstacles to good care.
People with mental illnesses are at a serious disadvantage. They have even less power than do medical or surgical patients. They may be unreliable witnesses. They may be delusional or paranoid, and mix fantasy with reality. Sometimes they are not able to make good decisions on their own. If they are severely depressed, they may be entirely unable to muster the effort required to stand up for themselves.
As stories in this series have shown, sometimes doctors and other caregivers take advantage of that power difference. Studies have shown that very nice ordinary people can turn into monsters when given a lot of power over others. Sometimes people at their most vulnerable - whose minds have betrayed them - find themselves at the mercy of those nice people who have power over them, who aren't always nice at that point.
The movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest showed ugly power plays in a locked psychiatric ward where the doctors and nurses held all the cards. Jack Nicholson played a patient trying to level the playing field.
Sometimes reality comes uncomfortably close to fiction, and Dr. Reiss said of events in some psychiatric hospitals, "The only thing missing. . .is Jack Nicholson."
-- Next -- What steps can one take to get good mental health care?

We'd all like to keep our teeth, and a key factor in maintaining oral health is healthy gums. Peri-Gum concentrated mouthwash fights gum problems naturally. It's clinically proven to significantly improve gingival health and reduce plaque - promoting healthier gums! Perigum is a concentrated formulation of herbal extracts and essential oils, each one known by herbal health authorities for their ability to improve oral health. Now combined for the first time to release their synergistic powers as Nature's Gum Solution.
I must tell you how happy I am with Peri-Gum.
By October of this year four of my teeth had fallen out in my hand. I was speaking with my sister who informed me she had started using Peri-Gum a year ago and now her gums were healed and they are growing back. "Didn't I tell you?" she asks. No I said. My teeth have been bleeding for 40 years and nothing the Doctors did would stop it.
She gave me your number and I called that night. On October 15 I started using Peri-Gum and today Nov 15 my gums have not bled for 8 days. What a miracle. The Dentist said he will start working on my teeth to save the rest of them on Dec.1.
My gums have stopped bleeding and my teeth have tightened up enough for me to eat normal food with out pain. Toast is wonderful. I want to thank you and God for answering my prayers.
In stock - product ships from Canada! Aviva is your source in Canada for Peri-Gum concentrated mouthwash. Save time and avoid import fees.
Although 3 out of 4 people over 35 have gum disease, most do not realize it because it often doesn't cause any noticeable symptoms in the mouth. Infection of the gums can go on for years without someone knowing it. The first detectable signs may be tenderness when brushing, some swelling, blood on the toothbrush, and redness of the gums instead of a healthy pink colour.
Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) is caused by plaque bacteria. If plaque is not removed, it grows and causes pockets between the teeth and gums. As the infection progresses the gums become more inflamed and bleed more. This is called periodontitis and can cause loss of teeth. The severity of periodontitis is measured by the depth of the pockets between the teeth and the gums.
* PERI-GUM was clinically tested in a four week pilot study at a major northeastern university and was found to be safe to oral tissues.
* Gum and oral health were significantly improved by the end of the study as evaluated by measuring the reduction of gingival health scores and reduction of plaque.
* The reduction in gingival health scores was 20% and the reduction in plaque scores was 16%.
PERI-GUM by Lesko Care has also been successfully evaluated by consumer groups, National Health and Wellness Club and the Diabetes Resource Center, Inc.
Echinacea extracts: immune system booster, antiseptic, antibacterial, and relieves pain.
White Oak Bark: astringent, tightens gums, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic.
Bayberry: astringent, tightens gums, antiseptic, and stimulant.
Cayenne: fights infection, stimulates circulation to promote healing, and pain reliever.
Tea Tree Oil: antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial.
Peppermint Oil: stimulates circulation, antiseptic, aromatic, freshens breath.
In a base of water and vegetable glycerin.
Peri-Gum is a mouthwash concentrate. It is to be diluted with water when used. Shake well before use.
If you have not used Peri-Gum before, begin by adding 5 drops to about half an ounce of water (enough to rinse your mouth). Vigorously work that mouthwash between your teeth and gums for at least 30 seconds (the longer the better). Gradually increase that ratio to up to 25 drops per half ounce (some people even use it straight out of the bottle, but this can be very 'hot').
Use at least twice a day, especially at bedtime, after completing the rest of your normal dental hygiene. Avoid eating and drinking for half an hour after use.
Do not swallow the mouthwash - always spit it out. Keep out of reach of children.

Fort Worth police officers on Thursday rescued a fleeing suspect from drowning when he called for help while trying to swim away.
The chain of events began about 11:15 a.m. Thursday, when officers spotted a man wanted on two felony theft warrants and tried to speak with him, Fort Worth police spokesman Buddy Calzada said.
He began running from officers in the 4400 White Settlement Drive, and police lost him near the Trinity River, Calzada said.
An hour and a half later, officers noticed the man hiding in high weeds near the opposite shore.
Fire department officials used a boat to approach the man, who began swimming away. Then, he began yelling "help."
Officers pulled the man from the water, and he received medical treatment, Calzada said. Police did not release the man's name.

Amphibians are the most threatened group of vertebrates. An emergent disease, chytridiomycosis, is decimating amphibian biodiversity worldwide. Our work in cloud forests of the Amazonian slopes of the Andes and throughout the Andean cordillera is quantifying the impact of chytridiomycosis on amphibian biodiversity, and tracing the spread of the fungal pathogen and associated amphibian declines in the region.
The eastern slopes of the Andes and western Amazon host the greatest number of frog species on the planet. In the Andes, levels of endemism are very high, and many species remain to be discovered and named. Concurrently, emergent threats such as disease and climate change are causing population declines and species extinctions even in protected areas and remote places with low human footprint. Our work aims at discovering and naming new species before they disappear or become too rare to be detected, and quantifying the impact of climate change and the fungal disease chytridiomycosis on amphibian biodiversity.
We have discovered and named over 30 species of amphibians, mostly in the eastern slopes of the Andes, but also in the Amazon rainforest and the high Andes. The discovery of most of these new species strengthens existing protections, or supported proposals to create new protected areas in Peru. We have established a long-term amphibian monitoring site in the eastern slopes of the Andes in southern Peru, where frog communities have been monitored since 1996 along a large elevational gradient from 500 to 3,700 meters. With these long-term data sets, we have quantified the catastrophic effect of emergent chytrid disease on frog communities.

Question 9: CLAN ROSS HISTORY How may I obtain a copy of The Great Clan Ross?
Anyone interested in purchasing a copy of the official Clan Ross History should contact the Past President and Historian of the Clan Ross Association of Canada, Incorporated. Since the 3rd edition of The Great Clan Ross is out of print at this time, he will be able to advise you about the current status of having the book prepared for a reprint. He may be contacted as follows:

About the Author of the First Edition
Five years after the founding of the Clan Ross Association of Canada in 1960, Dr. John Robert Ross was appointed President at the annual meeting in Montreal by the Chief Designate of Clan Ross, Sir Charles Campbell Ross, Q.C.
At this time, Dr. John was preparing his book The Great Clan Ross, which has become the definitive reference for the history of the Clan. During his research he came to know Chief Rosa Ross of Pitcalnie and Sheriff Charles Campbell Ross of the Shandwick Branch, the Chief Designate, who collaborated on the book together with his son, the current Chief of Clan, David C. Ross of Ross and Balnagowan. The book was published in 1968 and entered its third edition in 1993. Through his correspondence that arose from the first edition of this book, Dr. John assisted, during the 1970's, in laying the foundations of the Clan Ross societies in the USA and New Zealand.
Editions of The Book
To the credit of all involved, The Great Clan Ross has stood the test of time as a significant reference about Clan Ross for more than a quarter century.
- The 1st Edition, written by John Robert Ross, M.D., B.Sc. in collaboration with Sheriff Charles Campbell Ross, Q.C., and A.C.Gordon Ross, M.B., Ch.B. was published in 1968.
- The 2nd Edition, published in 1972, was completely revised with substantial additions on heraldry, and many new illustrations.
- The 3rd Edition, published in 1993, was made possible in part by generous subscriptions from the Clan Ross Association of the United States of America. At this time, John Donaldson Ross, M. Environmental Studies, undertook the addition of small sections and made minor adjustments to his father's work.
- At the 2004 Annual General Meeting in Winnipeg, Past President John Donaldson Ross reported that The Great Clan Ross book was out of print, but that he would explore the interest in the USA, Canada, Australia and elsewhere (via newsletters and the website) for a reprint.

Once you have found a home you like, or indeed someone has made an offer on your own home, don't just make a snap decision to accept or reject. Take your time. Properties are worth differing amounts of money to different people, depending on their circumstances. So whether you have received a low offer you want to reject or have fallen in love with a property and want to offer the asking price immediately, just stop, think and research the offer first.
If you are selling it's worth working out the minimum offer you need to buy your next home and the amount that you would like. If someone makes a low offer don't dismiss it out of hand. If it means that you can still afford the property you want and they are in a good position to buy (for example a cash buyer with nothing to sell) then it might be worth seeing if you could negotiate a lower offer on the property that you want to buy. It is better to accept a low offer and be in a position to buy the property that you want, than not take it and lose your dream home. You could accept the offer on the basis that you can still market your property up to exchange and make it clear you will accept a higher offer should one come along.
If you are buying, then spend some time researching what the property is worth. The way to do this is to go to Hometrack and put in the postcode of the property you want to buy. This will give you a list of properties in the same road that have sold recently – and the prices they have sold for. Look at the property numbers that have sold in the last 12 months, driving by ones which are most like the one you want to make an offer on. If you can't see one, look at roads nearby with similar properties and do the same. Speak to local agents to and ask them for their opinions.
Then to find out whether the market is going up, down or staying the same, look at what percentage properties are selling for versus their asking price. For example, Hometrack might give you an average figure of 95% of the asking price, which gives an indication of what others are offering.
Armed with this information, the property might be marketed at £180,000. Similar properties might have sold for £165,000 and £170,000. But currently Hometrack might suggest that prices are going down slightly, say by 2%. If we take the £180,000 marketing price of the property and multiply it by 95% (average offers against asking prices) it gives a suggested offer price of £171,000. With prices being down by 2%, that suggests an offer of around £170,000 might be fair, unless the property has £15,000 of added extras versus others sold, for example a garage, bigger garden, or an additional bedroom.
It might even be that £170,000 is all you can afford and that's the reason you want to offer that amount, and if so it's worth being upfront about this and even offering or agreeing to be checked by a mortgage contact via the estate agency. Ideally you will already have your Mortgage Agreement in Principle as this shows that you have already investigated what you can afford.
Once an offer has been accepted it isn't always the end of the negotiations. For example, your independent surveyor might find some damp and decree that it will cost £2,500 to fix, so they value the property at £170,000 - £2,500 = £167,500. The seller may agree to this, or say they will meet you half way, now pricing the property at £167,500 + £1,250 = £168,750.
So remember, there is no 'one price' for a property, merely what a seller is willing to sell at and a buyer willing to pay. But if you use a practical analysis based on "sold" property prices and information from the survey, then it's much easier to let your head make or accept an offer than go with your heart.

1 October 2019, Tuesday
Tremble with fear ye dictators, kings, sheikhs, emirs!
The great poet of the dawn of the bourgeois age, William Shakepeare, in what is probably his most renowned play, Hamlet, has one of his charaters say, "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark", words that have become engraved, like many a Shakespearean line, in the common memory of humanity. Had Mahmoud Darwish, the great poet of the Palestinian revolt, not passed away in 2008, he would possibly have written a verse today, in allusion to that of Shakespeare, depicting out times: "Something is bleeding and seething in the Arab world".
Here is a people that has been divided into dozens of countries whose frontiers were drawn in the sand by the very hands of colonialism over a geography that extends from Mesopotamia to the heart of black Africa and from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic and yet shares the same language, the same culture and the same accursed history. It is this people that has risen in popular rebellions and revolutions throughout a whole decade in order to change its ill-fated destiny. Revolutions in five countries within the space of two years between 2011-2013, new revolutions so far in two different countries in 2019, and many more popular revolts in which the people do not, or rather are not yet strong enough to, reach out for power and yet vent their anger and frustration and express their hopes and aspirations. This is the Arab world at this beginning of the 21st century. Through all the dust and smoke, it is declaring loud and clear that it will no longer tolerate either the "rotten" medieval states of the kings and the sheikhs and the emirs, nor the dictators who act as self-appointed monarchs that rule their countries for two, three, four decades.
The revolution has nowhere been triumphant yet. Parliamentary democracy was won in Tunisia in place of the 23-year rule of a dictator, Zine al Abidine ben Ali, who has recently died in exile, a shameful death in Wahhabi Saudi Arabia for a supposedly secular despot. Only parliamentary democracy although that is of course much better than the despotism of an autocrat. But this cannot and must not be the sole fruit of the sweeping revolutionary gale of an entire people, no! The Arab peoples have not yet been able to win because those who gobble up the vast oil wealth of the Arab people, the rulers of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and their ilk either crush or absorb the revolution in each country. They have hired a dictator in Egypt. The Sisi Bonapartist coup of 2013 marked the end of the first generation of Arab revolutions in the 21st century. They have bombed weddings and school shuttle buses in Yemen. They have unashamedly occupied Bahrain militarily. They have provoked the takfiri sectarian bands into creating a civil war in Syria. And they have received the support of imperialism everywhere. They have had imperialists pour death on the peoples of Libya, Iraq, and Yemen or anaesthetize the revolution in the swamp of "civil society" as they are now doing in Sudan and Algeria.
And yet they have not succeded in abating the fearsome rage and fury of the people. They imagined they had extinguished the revolutionary wave of 2011-2013, but the revolution arose from its ashes in Sudan and Algeria in 2019! In an article published on RedMed in February this year when the people's insurgency that had started in Sudan in December 2019 turned into a full-scale revolution, we ended the section on the possible internatonal consequences of this revolution with the following passage: "A victory, even if partial, of the masses in Sudan will, in all probability, provoke similar urges in other Arab countries. It would first have an impact on those countries already in ebullition, the ones we have already mentioned. But the ultimate moment of truth will come when the northern neighbour of Sudan, the giant of the Arab world, Egypt undergoes the same kind of effect. So the Arab revolution is far from dead, if such is the case" (Emphasis added).
Now, six months later, the revolution has knocked on Egypt's door once again. Against the Sisi dictatorship that imprisons any dissident voice and throws the mutilated bodies of opponents considered dangeorus into the dark recesses of the outskirts of Cairo, the Egyptian people came out in their thousands on two consecutive nights on 21 and 22 September in Cairo, Alexandria, Suez, Port Said, the working class city of Mahalla al Kubra, and elsewhere. Close to a thousand people were taken under custody. This wave may dwindle, in fact will, in all probability, dwindle. But considering that the ratio of the Egyptian population living under the poverty line has risen from the 20 per cent it was during the first wave of the revolution in 2011 to 35 per cent now and will almost inescapably rise towards 50 per cent under the whip of the vicious policies of the IMF and the blows of the Third Great Depression, Egyptians will no doubt lend an ear to the grievances expressed by their Arab sisters and brothers in other countries. The Egyptian people and youth have already made the first step towards overcoming fear. The lid has been raised. Even if it is shut today, it will perforce be reopened tomorrow.
The geography of the Middle East and North Africa is accumulating a great wave of revolutionary vigor. When that revolution will have triumphed on the dried and parched soil of the Arab world thristing for rain, Sunni and Shia will no longer grab each other by the throat and mutually set each other's mosques on fire, the takfiri will no longer find the dull knife to decapitate the imagined infidel, the sheikh and the emir will not fatten on the rent of oil and gas while the fellah[*] starves, and the Arab woman will not be imprisoned behind a black curtain that cuts her from the rest of humanity.
We in Turkey co-existed with the Arabs as citizens of the same country for centuries, sharing the same exploitation and persecution of sultan and pasha, of timar owner and tax-farmer. The Arabs still name the hated high-brow elites of their countries "effendi" and the murderers that act in the name of state repression "baltadjis"[†]. Let us make preparations to cleanse our geography of all the "effendis" and the "baltadjis". Let us establish revolutionary parties of the proletariat in each and every country in our region. Let us make this geography once again one of the pioneering societies of humankind, just as it was many centuries ago, on the basis of a worker-fellah alliance. Without excluding the Persian, the Kurd, the Christian, and the Jew, let us dream of the Socialist Federation of the Middle East and North Africa, to proceed to establish it as soon as the conditions are favourable.
For as Mahmoud Darwish wrote: "How vast the revolution, / How narrow the journey, / How grand the conception, / How small the state!"
[*] "Fellah" is the generic name for the Arab peasant.
[†] "Effendi" means "esquire" and "baltadji" means "axe-wielder" in Turkish.

SEP IRAs are a great place for self-employed individuals and small business owners to save for retirement. The SEP IRA, or simplified employee pension individual retirement arrangement, is a fairly simple account to establish and manage with minimal paperwork and annual filing requirements. Businesses of any size, including self-employed, can establish and participate in a SEP IRA.
SEP IRAs provide the ability to make tax-deductible contributions and the earnings grow tax-deferred. Contributions to a SEP are treated as traditional IRA assets and as a result are subject to many of the same rules as traditional IRAs. SEP IRAs offer funding flexibility from one year to another which is also a positive feature. If your business is having a stellar year, you can take advantage of high contribution limits. If it is a tight year, you can even choose not to make contributions in any given year.
One of the most appealing features of SEP IRAs are the high . All SEP IRA contributions are considered employer contributions. If you decide to establish a SEP IRA, you can contribute as much as 25 percent of your net earnings from self-employment income for the year. SEP IRA contributions cannot exceed the maximum $56,000 in 2019. This amount is a slight increase from the 2018 contribution limit ($55,000) and will be subject to future .
Depending on your actual income, the SEP IRA contribution limit could be greater than the Individual Retirement Account (IRA) limits of $6,000 in 2019 ($7,000 for ages 50 or older). Also compare SEP IRA limits to the 401(k) contribution limit for employees, which is $19,000 in 2019 ($25,000 for ages 50 or older). Unlike IRAs and 401(k)s, SEP IRAs do not offer any . But the good news is that the contribution limits are already pretty substantial.
Many self-employed individuals understand how complicated it can be to understand the income tax code. Calculating how much you can contribute to a SEP IRA requires a special formula. You can calculate your net adjusted self-employment income by determining your gross income and then subtract business expenses (including your SEP IRA contributions). The final step is to subtract half of your self-employment tax.
Vanguard provides a useful to help you determine your maximum contributions to a SEP IRA. However, it is advisable to consult with a professional tax advisor if you have additional questions about how much you can contribute to a SEP IRA.
According to the IRS, you may make tax-deductible traditional IRA contributions to a SEP-IRA if your plan permits non-SEP contributions. However, the ability to deduct those contributions may be limited due to participation in the SEP (see IRA contribution limits for 2017).
SEP IRAs provide a rare last minute tax savings opportunity to reduce your tax bill as a business owner. If you are self-employed or own a small business, a SEP IRA must be established by your company's tax filing deadline (plus any extensions) for the tax year to which the qualifying contribution is made. For example, the tax filing deadline for many entrepreneurs and small business owners for the 2018 tax year is April 15, 2019. Requesting an extension will extend the tax filing deadline until October 15, 2019.
It is important to remember that filing an extension does not provide an extension to pay any taxes that will eventually be due.
Are you looking for SEP IRA limits for the 2018 tax year? SEP IRA contributions can be made for last year until the tax filing deadline of April 15, 2019. Filing an extension will allow you to delay filing a tax return until October 15, 2019. You will still have time to establish a SEP IRA and make a SEP IRA contribution until the tax filing deadline. Be sure to notify the IRA custodian to code the contribution for the prior year (2018) if that is your intention.
Are you interested in more information about how you can save for retirement as a self-employed individual or small business owner? There are other and self-employed individuals, such as SIMPLE IRAs, individual or solo 401(k)s, Keoghs, or even regular 401(k)s for small businesses. It makes sense to compare them all before deciding which one is right for you.

The new philatelic series dedicated to Numismatics consists of two stamps that reproduce, respectively, the back of a 1953 one-peseta note and the front of a 1944 one-peseta coin. Both are joined at the perforation and incorporate Augmented Reality (AR) technology that, when captured by a smartphone, sends an animated image and informative video about the production of notes and coins by the Spanish Mint (Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre, FNMT). The round stamp presents a relief, or slightly raised surface, along with a cool stamping effect that simulates the metallic quality of coins.
Numismatics is the science that studies the knowledge of coins and medals, mainly ancient ones. It constitutes a subsidiary science of history because of the data it provides, making it possible to establish dates, dynasties and political and economic relationships among populations when written documentation is lacking. Coins let us know the history of a country and its degree of development, allowing us to follow its evolution through these metallic pieces called coins.
Another aspect of numismatics is connected with art and the minting process. The oldest coins barely carry a hammer-blow embossment, which evolved over time to coins stamped with detailed motifs of gods, animals, archers, busts and equestrian figures. The artistic themes reflect the tastes of the age and provide information for studying art history.
Before coins appeared, individuals exchanged products and merchandise, bartering. Later on metal was adopted as the currency for commercial transactions, the currency being regulated by weight, metal composition (gold, silver, bronze, copper or metal compounds) and sterling (indication of greater or lesser purity of the metal).
Interest in coin collecting seems to have started towards the end of the 18th century. However, it was in the 19th century when the great collectors arose and the international numismatic companies that published the first indexes, catalogues and guides for collecting were created.


Divide et Impera is a total overhaul of Rome 2 that seeks to provide a challenging, historically authentic, realistic experience of the ancient world and warfare. As a team, we believe modding is an important part of Total War games that adds significantly to their immersion and longevity. Our focus is improving gameplay, adding core features and increasing challenge and realism by expanding Rome 2 with new concepts and creative systems that turn it into a different sort of experience. We believe modding should always be freely available to the players and our great community, this Patreon simply exists so that those who wish to support our work can do so in the form of donations.
We were named CA's best Overhaul Mod 2014, CA's Most Innovative for 2015 and also won Player's Choice in both 2014 and 2015. Thanks to all of our players for your support!
The best way to experience all of the changes in the mod is to jump right in. It is almost impossible to have a summary of everything in the mod that has been added over the past 4 years. Some highlights include a custom reforms system, custom population system, custom supply system, completely new battle AI and system, all custom rosters from the ground up (around 2000 units), custom building system, and a thousand other changes. See below for some links on manuals, guides and our forums for information.
Beta-Test Feedback: Let us know directly about early test packs and betas!
Submod Ideas: Suggest ideas for new submods!
Special Ancillary - Suggest a custom household member in game!
At this point the mod expenses will be covered and we can perhaps move on to expanding the community with our own website and informational resources. We can also spend more time developing new content and ideas.

The Button Strikes Back | BIBA 5-17
Wendy Hall
This paper explores what has happened to hypermedia since the advent of the World Wide Web. We currently live in a world where access to the internet is dominated by Web browsers and search engines. The concept of hypermedia linking is at best added value and at worst almost irrelevant to most Web sites. But everyone who uses the Web is aware of the concept implicitly and accepts with ease the idea of clicking on a button to follow a link to another page. Search engines are the dominant means of finding information, but everyone is aware of their limitations. This is all set to change as we move into a world of pervasive computing and start to access the internet through small, hand-held devices. Agent technology will become the dominant means of building distributed information management systems. The paper argues that hypermedia technology will become more important in this world, although most users will be unaware of what software technology they are using as they navigate through global information spaces via highly personalised and adaptive environments.
Trailblazing: trends in hypermedia | BIBA 19-46
Daniel Cunliffe
"I believe we shall advance in our mastery over the records we create, rendering them easier to consult by means which would now seem strange and bizarre to us" (Vannevar Bush, 1967)
The period from the mid 1980s has seen significant growth in hypertext as a coherent research area and in its impact on the general public. Many issues are only becoming apparent as researchers attempt to meet the requirements for long term industrial strength hypermedia applications deployed in real world situations. The papers in Hypermedia and The New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia present an abridged history of this period of rapid development in the subject. This paper attempts to provide a broad review of some of the contributions to knowledge and general trends that can be identified from among the many papers published.
Media Construction Formalism Specifying Abstractions for Multimedia Scenario Design | BIBA 47-87
Jocelyne Nanard; Marc Nanard; Peter King
Most of the current work on the temporal aspects of hypermedia is oriented towards implementation and rendering. Relatively little work has been directed towards the design of hypermedia artifacts, particularly artifacts comprising large sets of media items with rich sets of temporal relationships. We introduce the media construction formalism (MCF), a formalism permitting the design of media construction abstractions (MCA) for the specification of multimedia scenarios. MCF provides constructs that can be understood and manipulated by designers at different levels of granularity and detail. MCF relies on a temporal model similar to that of SMIL 2.0, but targets design issues. MCF supports abstraction and re-use at the artifact design level and uses the notion of design patterns and the metaphor of roles, players and actors, to provide generic design descriptions. MCF provides an integrated specification of spatial, temporal, and object behavior, including composition which may depend on run time events. MCF provides a designer-friendly environment, incorporating a visual representation of partial designs together with a special-purpose structured editor.
The Link vs. the Event: Activating and Deactivating Elements in Time-Based Hypermedia | BIBA 89-109
Lynda Hardman; Patrick Schmitz; Jacco van Ossenbruggen; Warner ten Kate; Lloyd Rutledge
Activation and deactivation of media items plays a fundamental role in the playing of multimedia and time-based hypermedia presentations. Activation and deactivation information thus has to be captured in an underlying document format. In this paper we show that a number of aspects of activation and deactivation information can be captured using both link structures and events in time-based hypermedia. In particular, we discuss how deactivation and activation can be specified, how the activations and deactivations can be initiated and potential (synchronization) relationships between the elements involved.
We first introduce the notions of time-based scheduling and event-based scheduling and then present a short summary of linking. We discuss the similarities between event-based scheduling and linking. We describe a number of aspects of activation and deactivation that can be specified within a document. We then discuss how activation and deactivation information can be recorded in link structures and events.
Hybrid Narrative and Categorical Strategies for Interactive and Dynamic Video Presentation Generation | BIBA 111-145
Craig A. Lindley; Frank Nack
There are a number of different approaches for automatically selecting video clips from a video database and sequencing them into meaningful presentations for viewers. The video database represents a multidimensional video hyperspace, and the sequencing algorithms function as (interactive) dynamic linking and path generation techniques within this hyperspace. Sequencing has been based upon either a narrative or a categorical model of video form. Each of these forms has its respective advantages and disadvantages, and varying suitability for different applications. The two primary forms may also be combined into several hybrid forms, both at the same level and at different levels of the syntactic composition of video sequences, to provide more options for authoring interactive dynamic video productions. Narrative, categorical, and hybrid sequence generation strategies can be applied to a variety of media modalities, including the automated generation of behaviour within virtual environments and computer animations.
Navigable History: A Reader's View of Writer's Time | BIBA 147-167
Frank M., III Shipman; Haowei Hsieh
Collecting, analyzing, and sharing information via a hypertext results in the continuous modification of information content over a long period of time. Such tasks will benefit from users having access to this authoring process. The Visual Knowledge Builder (VKB), a spatial hypertext system designed to support collaborative knowledge building, includes navigable history to provide readers a view of the writer's time. VKB acts as a workspace for collecting, organizing, and interpreting information in a hierarchy of two-dimensional planes. During authoring, VKB records events in the hypertext's history and provides methods to access prior states of the hypertext. The reader may play forward or backward through the authoring process as well as search for a variety of authoring events on information objects. Users receive cues about the absolute and relative timelines of the information space through the presentation of information about specific events and their sequence. Examples of VKB's use include note taking, writing, organizing conferences, and sharing information in a research group. Analysis of VKB workspaces in these contexts indicates navigable history supports (1) learning and interpreting authors' work practices, (2) recognizing patterns of activity in the information space, and (3) disambiguating specific actions and content. Hypertexts that include an authoring history add a notion of constructive time for their readers.
Hypertext interactivity: From choice to participation | BIBA 169-196
Gene Golovchinsky; Catherine C. Marshall
Much of hypertext narrative relies on links to shape a reader's interaction with the text. But links may be too limited to express ambiguity, imprecision, and entropy, to allow appropriate control and access to information, or to admit new modes of participation short of full collaboration. We use an e-book form to explore the implications of freeform annotation-based interaction with hypertext narrative. Readers' marks on the text can be used to guide navigation, to create a persistent record of a reading, to enable fluid exploration and revisits, or to recombine textual elements as a means of creating a new narrative. In this paper, we describe how such an experimental capability was created with XLibris, a next generation e-book, using Forward Anywhere as the hypernarrative. We work through a scenario of interaction, and discuss the issues the work raises.
Mind the eye! On the relevance of composition in spatial organization | BIBA 197-202
Moritz Neumuller
This paper focuses on the relationship between semantics and aesthetics in spatial hypertext. The author departs from the observation that certain metaphors from the GUI world have a stronger effect on spatial hypertext than on other information systems. It is argued that the human desire to compose objects on a picture plane not only due to semantic, but also due to aesthetic principles, counteracts the construction of meaning. The author intends to encourage a discussion about the tension between finished presentational structures and working interpretive structures in spatial hypertext systems. The grounding of this discussion are art theory, psychology and other non-hypertext sources.

Gulf Navigation Holding has taken delivery of the $55m Gulf Deffi a newly built tanker constructed at the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in Ulsan, South Korea. She is the first of three tankers expected this year.
The vessel is the third in a series of four sophisticated chemical carriers ordered by Gulf Navigation holding PJSC. With a deadweight of 45,951 tonnes, a capacity of 54,300 cubic metres, 20 specially coated cargo tanks and classed as an IMO Type II chemical carrier she will have the capability of carrying a broad range of petrochemical products.
Following delivery she will be handed over to International Shipping Company, a subsidiary of The Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) on a 15 year time charter. This is the third delivered tanker of four vessels that will be chartered to SABIC for 15 years.
Abdullah Al Shuraim, Chairman, Gulf Navigation Holding PJSC, said the vessel was contracted to meet the robust demand for such tankers and would add to the revenue and flexibility of the company and reaffirms the company's position as a regional leader in shipping and marine services.
He said: "Passing through the consequences of the world financial crisis, the addition of "Gulf Deffi" to the GulfNav fleet constantly aims to strengthen the gains made in 2008, which was a remarkable year for Gulfnav. We were able to deliver a solid performance, superior financial results and impressive growth across all maritime business areas. Our performance reflects the success of our strategy of innovation in providing deliberated and high-quality services to clients on the back of continued growth in the global shipping business.
"The chemical tanker sector continues to be the healthiest sector in the entire industry with steady growth. The firmness and high performance of the chemical tanker sector continues to offset any decline in the other sectors" he added.
The vessel was financed by Fortis Bank. The total amount of financing for all four of the vessels was for $185m, equivalent to 85% of the purchase price.


Monsignor Tria recounts in his book "Memorie storiche, civili ed ecclesiastiche" (Historical memoirs, civil and ecclesiastical) of 1736 AD, that Colloredo (also known as Caroleto) was a ruined house in the plains of the Saccione river, near Campomarino.
The devout Marchese del Vasto, Diego D'Avalos D'Aragona, often came here on the way to his estate in Serracapriola. When he learned that a villain had discovered a panel painting of the Blessed Virgin, he decided to renovate the ruins and build a church.
The coat of arms of the noble Casa D'Avalos is still visible on the door of the church of Madonna Grande, together with the venerated painting on the main altar.
The octagonal shape of the old Colloredo hamlet is reflected in the logo of "Borgo di Colloredo" which also celebrates the name.

The Ring O BellsAdmin Login2017-10-02T14:21:41+00:00
The Ring O Bells solar farm project was complex and took nearly three years from start to energisation. The farm, situated in rural Gloucestershire some 15km east of Bristol and in a hollow alongside the M4, comprises some 215 acres (marked in yellow). Following an initial desk top evaluation considering factors such as visibility, access, environmental and topography, a plot consisting of approximately 100acres was selected (marked in red). A formal connection offer was subsequently issued by WPD for a 16MW solar farm.
The initial planning application was submitted to South Gloucestershire Council in June 2014. Three major issues were highlighted and through lengthy evaluation, trial trenching for archaeological assets and numerous studies these were eventually mitigated against. Firstly, despite initial studies, visibility from Dyrham Park, a National Trust property was highlighted at the public consultation. Secondly, English Heritage who manage the nearby Hinton Hill Fort, raised concerns. Finally, the brook running north to south through the middle of the site was deemed a flood risk.
The outcome was to reduce the size of the project to 30 acres (Blue area) and a new formal connection was granted for a 5MW project. The Council granted planning consent on 7 August 2015 though there were conditions, mainly to do with access, highways management and landscaping, that had to be discharged before construction could commence. The site finally started to produce electricity from the sun on 17 August 2016.
