Die Elektrische Straßenbahn Heidelberg–Wiesloch bildete zwischen 1901 und 1923 einen Straßenbahnbetrieb, dessen Zentrale sich in Leimen befand. Nach dem Übergang in das Eigentum der Heidelberger Straßen- und Bergbahn AG wurde der Betrieb bis zu seiner Einstellung 1973 als Teil des städtischen Verkehrsnetzes fortgeführt.

Geschichte

Die südlich von Heidelberg gelegenen Ortschaften Rohrbach, Leimen, Nußloch und Wiesloch strebten am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts nach einer besseren Verkehrsanbindung, da die 1840 eröffnete Rheintalbahn doch ein ganzes Stück an den Orten vorbeigeführt worden war. Erste Konzessionsersuchen gab es 1886. Die endgültige Genehmigung erhielt im Jahre 1900 die Deutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft. In ihrem Auftrag erbaute die AG für Bahnbau und -Betrieb eine 13 km lange Straßenbahn von Heidelberg nach Wiesloch, die am 23. Juli 1901 eröffnet wurde. Diese war von Beginn an elektrifiziert und damit die erste elektrische Straßenbahnlinie in Heidelberg.

Neben dem Personenverkehr konnte die Bahn gute Gewinne durch den Transport von Steinen vom Steinbruch in Nußloch zum Leimener Zementwerk erwirtschaften. Dieser endete am 30. Juni 1918, als für diese Aufgabe die Materialseilbahn Leimen–Nußloch errichtet worden war.

1905 wurde die Bahn von der Deutschen Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft an die Stadt Heidelberg veräußert, die sie an die Heidelberger Straßen- und Bergbahn (HSB) als Betriebsführerin verpachtete. Die Stadt baute noch eine Zweigbahn von Rohrbach nach Kirchheim (1,7 km), die am 19. Februar 1910 den Betrieb aufnahm.

1923 erwarb die HSB die Vorortbahn von der Stadt Heidelberg und beglich den Kaufpreis mit Aktien. Damit endete die Selbständigkeit der Bahn Heidelberg–Wiesloch, da sie nun vollständig in die HSB integriert wurde.

Aufgrund des immer stärker werdenden Autoverkehrs und der schlechteren Finanzlage der HSB kamen in den 1970er Jahren Überlegungen auf, Straßenbahnstrecken stillzulegen. Am 30. September 1972 stellte man den Betrieb von Rohrbach nach Kirchheim und am 16. Juni 1973 zwischen Leimen und Wiesloch ein. Seitdem verkehren Buslinien zwischen den genannten Orten als Ersatz. Die Verbindung zwischen Heidelberg und Leimen wird seitdem durch die Straßenbahnlinie 23 der RNV sichergestellt.

Gegenwart und Zukunft
Seit 2006 ist die neue Straßenbahnstrecke vom Heidelberger Zentrum nach Kirchheim in Betrieb. Ferner gibt es Gespräche, den stillgelegten Abschnitt südlich von Leimen zu reaktivieren und die Linie sogar bis zum Bahnhof Wiesloch-Walldorf fahren zu lassen. Doch wegen der derzeit schlechten Finanzlage der Gemeinden lässt sich das Projekt mittelfristig nicht realisieren.

Weekly Conversation: Talking "Real" Journalism and Kingsbury on Injuries
Seth and Travis discuss real journalism in today's media environment, plus we opine on Kliff Kingsbury's thoughts on injuries and how he reports them each Monday.
By Seth C and Travis Hale Oct 24, 2014, 12:00pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Weekly Conversation: Talking "Real" Journalism and Kingsbury on Injuries
I see my house
Seth: Well, it was really pretty nice to get that win. I mentioned after the game that if felt like a true team win in the sense that everyone helped pull this along. What were your general impressions of the game?
Why add the Double-T Insider video here? Why not? Good kids putting out a quality product. Love the segment about the student athletes helping at the Texas Tech Therapeutic Riding Center.
Travis: It just felt good to finally get a win. There were still some gaps and, as Kingsbury said, it was far from their best game, but it just felt good to win. On top of that they were playing against the backdrop of a WVU upset over Baylor, so the win adds to the feeling that there might be some real momentum right now. It's interesting to see Kingsbury adjust his play calling to a more run-oriented attack. I've seen some true journalists writing about how reticent he is to do it, but I don't think it's true. He ran the ball at Houston and A&M and he'll do it here when he needs to. Right now, he needs to.
More than anything else though I'm excited to watch the defense play. They seem to be improving by leaps and bounds every Saturday and could be a solid unit in the 2nd half of the season. I would be thrilled to see this team find a way to get 3 more wins.
You've written about the big "Krunkness 2014" party and its after effects. You also mentioned how tough an event like that is for Kingsbury to have to put up with. It reminds me of the Alamo Bowl Kickoff Luncheon that I attended in late August that featured Mack Brown. He talked about how difficult it is as a head coach because you basically have 85 kids that you're responsible for and you try to control everything you can but sometimes you just can't. As a dad, how would your approach be to managing your teams extra curricular activities if you were in Kingsbury's shoes?
Seth: Oh man, I have no idea how to handle that many people. I was a teacher for a year and a half and I was, somewhat responsible for those 150 or so kids. And responsible is a bad way to say it. I was responsible for them in the sense I had them for an hour, but even then, you get a pretty big sense of responsibility. You want to make sure that they all do well, whatever they are doing.
I don't even know how I would go about reminding those kids that their first obligation is to Texas Tech. Bottom line. And it's really pretty simple for me in that if you go somewhere and get hurt then Texas Tech football is going to have a problem utilizing your services. Someone gets hurt or shot or stabbed then aside from the safety issue, there's the scholarship to think about and if a player can't play or gets into too much trouble, then you've got issues. It's like the Josh Keys and Tyler Middleton situation. Kingsbury made it clear that Middleton wasn't involved in any sort of off-field issue and just wanted to transfer. That's understandable. But Keys is gone for violation of team rules. In the middle of the season where Texas Tech could have really used his ability, he's just gone and will, most likely never be heard from again. Coaches cannot afford to have players not be good people and that's the hammer. If you can't be a good person then Texas Tech will move on.
One thing that we didn't really get a chance to discuss is Blayne Beal and Don Williams making comments on Twitter about how there are fewer and fewer "real" journalists out there. I noticed that you used the term "real" reporters in your answer above. We've already discussed earlier in the year how we went back and forth on whether or not to really disclose the Davis Webb injury news. The reason Beal and Williams took to twitter is that the current opponent's blog, Frogs O' War, announced that QB Treyvone Boykin, was out with a injury. Frogs O' War retracted their story and noted that they were tricked, that their sources essentially fed them a line. Then, we have Sports Illustrated, the bastion of sports reporting, who alleged all sorts of improper conduct at Oklahoma State, only to have OSU and the NCAA issue a report saying that the allegations by SI were generally unfounded. SI released a statement saying that they stand by their story, but their story really could have been written about any football program in the U.S. Do you see any distinction between the two situations and if so, what is it?
Travis: I took both of their comments in completely different ways. Don is an old school newspaper guy and I've always liked him. He seems like a straight shooter and has been good at his job for a really long time.
Beal on the other hand just seems to be in over his head. Some of the stuff he sends out doesn't make any sense. I remember him complaining about the World Cup and the US advancing even after a loss to Germany earlier this summer. And the dumb comments he made about the SEC last year, and some of the meaningless tweets he sends out on a regular basis are just mind boggling. While the Grant news was breaking on Sunday night he was retweeting questions from Tech fans asking where the team would stay when they play Baylor in November. Really? More often than not he just seems tone deaf.
Take for instance his comment about "true" journalism. Who is a true journalist in his eyes? Does he consider the PR/media department hired and funded by Tech to be true journalists? After all, it's Double-T Insider and other outlets that the university has established that are producing and distributing content surrounding the athletic programs. The most extensive interviews every week are conducted and distributed by the media arm of the university (and they do a really good job by the way, so this isn't a jab at them). With those facts taken into context, just what the hell is he talking about with his "sad" commentary? Journalism is whatever you think it is-- whether that comes from old school newspaper reporters, media outlets that receive their paychecks from the institutions they are reporting on, or bloggers like us wearing our sweatpants and living in mom's basement.
The outlets that do it the best; that produce timely, trustworthy and quality content are going to ultimately draw the most viewers, listeners and readers. It's that simple. There's nothing sad about that. -Real talk from Travis about reporting
And regardless of my fondness for Williams or my lack of respect for Beal, they both have to wake up to the reality of sports reporting in 2014. There are tons of outlets reporting on any variety of topics. The outlets that do it the best; that produce timely, trustworthy and quality content are going to ultimately draw the most viewers, listeners and readers. It's that simple. There's nothing sad about that.
As far as comparisons with SI, I think that's a good point as well. Look, reporters make mistakes. I don't know what Evans' motivation was or is, just as with FOW. Both made some mistakes but only FOW has owned up to it as of now. That can be taken one of two ways: either SI and Thayer Evans know their story is legit, or they refuse to admit a mistake. We probably won't ever know the entire truth. But the competition in the business is real. That's partly why Williams and Beal want to shout their competition down. It's partly why Evans and SI went to press with if nothing else, a less than air-tight expose. And it's why FOW published a story that they completely believed was true. The same people that are complaining after the fact were the same ones that rushed to read the breaking story from the source.
The bottom line is this is a cut-throat, thankless business for the most part. We're all competing for eye-balls and as a result people are going to make mistakes along the way. What is sad though is that the competitiveness in the business causes wedges even among the same fan base. At Tech we have the RP guys, the RRS guys and the VTM guys.
Maybe we should all get satin jackets with our logos emblazoned so when it goes down, we'll all know who to throw the trident at.
So back to Kingsbury. You mentioned a few weeks ago how it's "convenient" when he doesn't see a player the Monday before his press conference so he doesn't really have to address the seriousness of their injury. I guess that makes sense from a "plausible deniability" standpoint and helps him in his desire to keep opposing coaches guessing when he has a banged-up QB. I did find it unusual for him to take the same stance regarding Grant on Monday. Let me get this straight: you have your star receiver involved in a possible stabbing, and you haven't seen or talked to him 36 hours after the fact? Does that seem odd to you?
Seth: Oh heck yes. And I'm right there with you about Williams and Beal. Williams is not an investigative reporter, he is a beat reporter and beat reporters are supposed to take press conference things and make them into stories. If I remember correctly about the World Cup, I think it was something about losing a game, but still advancing, which is what the Texas Tech baseball team did to get into the College World Series. Zing.
So yeah, Kingsbury did say that he saw Grant and that the cut was under his chin, but no one pushed him on the situation with Grant and if he talked to Jakeem to find out what happened. This was pretty much it:
Q. If you find out more facts, is it something that could lead to any suspensions?
COACH KINGSBURY: I'm not sure right now. It's an ongoing investigation. All we saw was Jakeem. We were worried about his well-being. He's okay, and that's where we're at with it.
The more we get into this, the more we find out that I think that Kingsbury pretty much despises talking about injuries and status updates and all of that. So really, he's pretty much all Leach on that front. -Seth opines on Kingsbury discussing injuries
The more we get into this, the more we find out that I think that Kingsbury pretty much despises talking about injuries and status updates and all of that. So really, he's pretty much all Leach on that front. The only way we find out about injuries or players being kicked off the team is on Saturday before the game when, and I'm guessing here, Level is give the go-ahead to tweet about the injuries and status of the players. And I'm totally fine with this from a standpoint of giving out information. He probably does the exact same thing on the radio to update folks listening. That's part of his job.
The question of if I have a problem with Kingsbury being coy about that stuff. No, not really. Seriously, last year the strength and conditioning coach, who was by all accounts a really good guy, became a whipping boy for all of the injuries. Meanwhile, this team has 12 injuries in one game or something ridiculous like that. And for the record, I'm not blaming the current strength and conditioning coach. Sometimes injuries happen and the fact that we, as fans, don't know all that much about them, is fine with me.
And Kingsbury being coy is also fine with me. It might be more accurate for him to say that most injuries are a game-time decision and he'll go from there, maybe rule out the guys that are actually out. One other thought is that injuries for guys might be the last thing on his mind on Monday. He's been gearing up for the next opponent for a day and a half.
Three questions:
1. What's your favorite beer right now?
2. I hear there might be a really cool place to tailgate on Saturday. Any details?
3. Any thoughts on Saturday?
Travis: 1. I've been buying 312 Goose Island Urban Wheat recently and really enjoy it. I also had some Sam Adams Pumpkin Ale a few weeks ago and it was good and there's a local brewery called Boerne Brewery that has some good stuff, especially the Old Courthouse Ale. As I've gotten older I've learned to appreciate some of the darker, heavier beers so it's more like a complement to my meal rather than a chance to chug 10 or 12 while watching a game. What about you?
2. Yes, the Fort Worth chapter of the TTU Alumni Association will have a tailgate near the Trinity Episcopal Church-Westcliff. The address is 3401 Bellaire Dr. S. Ft. Worth TX 76109. They were gracious enough to give me a parking pass so I'll be there, hopefully pretty early with a few friends. Hopefully everyone can stop by.
3. Yes, the Fort Worth chapter of the TTU Alumni Association will have a tailgate.. I'm not really anticipating a win, but who knows. Maybe this week will be our surprise win of the year. I'd take it.
Seth: Oh, I found Lagunitas IPA (yeah, I like IPA) at Costco and it's delicious and it's cheaper than anything I could buy at the beer store because, ya know, Costco. As far as expectations for the game, I'm expecting a 14 to 20 point loss because I think TCU is really good and Texas Tech is going to have some bad match-ups on TCU's wide receivers.
Ed. Note by Seth C: Three things occurred to me after writing this and seeing the GIF that Travis added:
1) We've all going to know who the VTM'ers are because they'll have koozies and so we may not need satin jackets.
2) Another person that Kingsbury may have learned from regarding disclosing injuries is Bill Belichik, who hates talking injuries.
3) I hope we see Bradley Marquez doing the Kenny Powers double guns-up all day on Saturday.

That was the argument used by work when I last flew to the US! I didn't complain.
Good job! Now to get them to lower the threshold!


What's not to love about success stories? Especially the ones the founders never thought will grow into a multi-million dollar company.
Courtney Adeleye probably never envisaged that she would become a hair care manufacturer, but a bad hair coloring experience drove her to find her one true calling. After being faced with the horrors of damaged hair, she began mixing different ingredients in her kitchen trying to find what works best for her hair.
The former nurse wasn't on her own through this process, she began to document her hair journey on YouTube and it was only natural for millions of women to follow her, especially black women who are often faced with the challenge of finding the right hair care products for their hair.
Her hobby soon began profitable when women started writing her to start selling her hair care products. She started small in her apartment 5 years ago, and then moved to a warehouse, she outgrew the warehouse and then moved to a bigger one. Sales were skyrocketing, the reviews were positive and a lot of women were satisfied with the products.
What sets Courtney Adeleye's Mane Choice brand apart has to be the fact that she has been natural for nearly a decade, and samples the products on her own hair before dishing it out to the public. Mane Choice has produced popular products like deep hydration pre-poo, moisturizing body washes, hair growth vitamins, and products for kids. The business made a whooping 6.5 million dollars in sales last year.

Q: 1st hover event not working I have the following jQuery script which is responsible to show a hidden div on mouseover:
function mouseOverBoard() {
    function mouseOverBoard() {
        $(".boardControl").hover(function () {
            $(this).find(".boardControllers").show(); },
            function () {

}

This is my html code:

It's working without any problems but only after the event was triggered the first time.
For the first time nothing happens (the hidden div is just not shown).

A: The way you are using the functions is wrong. Just use:
$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".boardControl").hover(function () {
      $(this).find(".boardControllers").show(); },
        function () {
          $(this).find(".boardControllers").hide(); }
    );

SVH took Go Go Tuners TT-1 out for a test drive, check it out!
There are many tuners on the market that clip on to your headstock and most all of them really work the same way. They effectively get you in tune very quickly in just about any setting. They all seem to work the same by using either a built-in mic or the vibration of the instrument to pick up the note values and the GoGo Tuner TT-1 works the same way. However, this little puppy has some pretty cool little features and conveniences that make it stand out a bit above the rest.
The main features include its fast accuracy up to ±.5 cent and a range that covers from A0(27.5Hz) – C8(4186.00Hz), and can be calibrated for alternate tunings with a pitch range from 430-450hz. The TT-1 also precisely tunes a multitude of instruments including acoustic guitar, electric bass, violin, viola, ukulele, electric guitar, brass and woodwind instruments, and has 5 settings: Chromatic/Guitar/Bass/Violin/Viola. It uses a single battery and comes with an Auto Power-Off function that preserves the battery life…. something I think any musician can appreciate.
The other stand out features include a large bright LED screen, which illuminates red when out of tune and green when in tune, while simultaneously showing you if you are sharp or flat. The 360 degree swivel arm bracket makes positioning the TT-1 a snap in any direction. The design of the unit makes this a great tool for learning note names as you practice. For example, if playing scales slowly, the tuner will pick up each note. This will help you develop a better sense of what notes are where on your fretboard, aiding in the development of your ear to distinguish pitches accurately. The swivel also makes it easy to hide the bulk of the tuner behind your headstock, therefore leaving it intact to "tune on the fly" during gigs without having a huge eyesore on the end of your axe. The clamp is very rugged and durable and has soft rubber material inside the clamp that clings tightly without scuffing or scratching your prized instrument.
With these few added features and intuitive functionality, the TT-1 is one of the coolest little headstock tuners on the market today and at a price of $29.99 a smart buy on a tool of the trade you really can't live without.

By Natasha Egan on December 5, 2018 in Government, Industry, Royal Commission 3
The aged care royal commission will get underway early next year with an opening hearing set for the third week of January.
The initial hearing of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety will take place in Adelaide on Friday 18 January, Australian Ageing Agenda was able to reveal on Tuesday.
It was previously proposed the first hearing of the commission, which was established on 8 October, would take place on 7 December or at another time this month.
Further details regarding submissions and public hearing dates are expected to be announced next week, a spokesperson said.
Providers 'not compelled' to respond to survey
Commissioners Justice Joseph McGrath and Lynelle Briggs recently invited approved aged care providers to make an early submission to the commission detailng any instances of poor care or complaints since 2013.
The largest 100 providers have been asked to respond to the eight-question survey by 7 January and the remaining providers by 8 February with a "comprehensive" emailed report that "should not exceed 50 pages for each service or outlet" (read more here).
The royal commission has since updated its website with information about the scope of the survey and definitions of terms, such as substandard care and mistreatment, in response to questions from providers.
It also said that providers have been asked for their cooperation but are not compelled to provide any or all of the information requested at this time.
"However, the Royal Commission has extensive compulsory powers and may, if necessary, exercise those to secure the information in question," the advice said.
Substandard care
In relation to how "substandard care" is defined in questions 1 and 2, providers have been advised to include occasions where care did not meet relevant quality standards under the Quality of Care Principles 2014 or other obligations under the Aged Care Act such as the Charter of Care Recipients Rights and Responsibilities.
"Providers should also include care which, in their view, did not meet the high standards of quality and safety that the Australian community expects of aged care services," the response said.
"In considering terms such as mistreatment and abuse, providers should take a common-sense view that considers community expectations," it said.
Systemic failure
The update also clarifies the term "systemic failure" to mean a breakdown or failure on a broad or systemic basis across the service as opposed to an isolated instance of substandard care within a service otherwise providing safe and high-quality care.
Elsewhere, providers have been advised to provide a comprehensive response for the full five-year period from 1 July 2013 – 30 June 2018 including any periods the service or outlet was under previous ownership.
However, the survey only relates to services under the Aged Care Act meaning the Commonwealth Home Support Program and veterans home care program are both out of scope.
The advice is available on the aged care royal commission's website here.

I'm curious – where it says "…providers have been advised to provide a comprehensive response for the full five-year period from 1 July 2013 – 30 June 2018 including any periods the service or outlet was under previous ownership." How does one provider obtain records from a previous owner? Wouldn't records being transferred from a previous owner to a current one be protected/barred due to privacy laws? Surely some electronic documentation systems and records would be held securely on servers and not shared between providers
Annemarie December 5, 2018 at 2:18 pm #
Do you really think that providers are going to tell the truth 😂
James December 7, 2018 at 6:04 pm #
This is a Royal Commission: and I was totally blown away by the results of the Royal commission into Banks. I think there will be huge consequences if they don't tell the truth, and I suspect that these instances of Poor Care and complaints are not just coming from the organisations but were findings from unannounced inquests and are already known and on record! The honesty will come in what they have done to make it better I think. So I assume that Residents will be consulted as well???

Quality, professional tree & shrub care at a fair price by people who care.
We have the experience and knowledge that we are sure you will appreciate. We Guarantee all our work.
I just needed you to know what a good and well manner crew you have working for you. All 3 young men worked very hard and cleaned up the property better than it was before they arrived. What a great job they did cutting and trimming the trees. I will recommend your company to every one I know. Thank you for a GREAT JOB!!!! Your workers were awesome.
Just met up with Scott and the boys and just wanted to compliment them on being a nice, friendly bunch. If I ever need work done on my trees, I will definately call Pinnacle.
We would like to pass on our thanks to both crews who did the work at our house. They were professional and meticulous and we couldn't be more pleased with the work they did.


So, as I may have previously mentioned, I STILL have grab bag goodies sitting around, crying out to me! I took my next set, which was from a simply sent card kit that I couldn't ID from my own small catalog collection, and combined it with the new "Pursuit of Happiness" stamp set. I'll be honest - I saw that Desmond Tutu quote, and knew that I needed those stamps! The Emerson quote just sealed the deal!
For something else new, I also decided to flip through my Cardmaker's Sketchbook for some card ideas. All these cards are a take on a sketch I found on page 26. What a neat way to dream up ideas! The grab bag set I chose to use included Sahara Sand card bases, with accent CS pieces in Always Artichoke, more Sahara Sand, and the now retired Bordering Blue. Something about that color selection steered me to the Elegant Soiree DSP pack, and the rest is as you see! The individual cards are in my gallery for up close viewing!

Cerebral palsy was the condition involved in a case study conducted by Dr. William Amalu. The study studied a 5-year-old boy who had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, chronic ear infections, legal blindness, and was experiencing as many as 30 seizures a day. He was reliant upon a wheelchair and could not communicate and interact with others normally. When he was examined by an upper cervical chiropractor, a misalignment in the bones of his upper neck was identified. The top bone of the neck, the atlas, was the primary focus.
His sleep quality improved dramatically on the night following his first adjustment. After the second adjustment, they saw progress with his seizures as they were reduced to only 10 per day. His levels of alertness and ability to interact with others improved significantly. He was even able to clap his hands, sit up and look around, and as he continued receiving treatment, his seizures decreased to 5 per day.
Within the 3rd and 4th weeks, his grand-mal seizures disappeared, although the others remained at 5 per day. He started to use words and his vision improved. He also began pulling himself to a standing position and staying there for over 1 minute. His ear infections resolved after having them for 9 months. During the 5th week of care, his neurologist reported that his cerebral palsy was improving. By week 12, he no longer had any outward signs of seizures, and the positive progress continued over the next 10 months. The doctors withdrew his diagnosis of epilepsy, and they took him off all medication. His ear infections resolved permanently, his vision improved to the point where he was able to see with prescription glasses and was even able to walk slowly with assistance.
When a misalignment occurs in the bones of the upper neck, it can disrupt the signals that are sent to and from the brain and body via the brainstem. This kind of malfunction to the brainstem could lead to a number of the problems listed above. After receiving care from an upper cervical chiropractor, the body can return to its proper function once again, just like this case study reveals.

On this episode, we'll be doing a segment that I call AMA, Ask Me Anything. If this is your first time tuning in, AMAs are when I have the utmost pleasure of connecting with either a season or former consultant. They share their career journey and give you advice. We've got Michael Beddows. He is a consultant, seasoned consultant, entrepreneur, as well as the Founder of the IT Consulting Group. Super cool coaching services that he can provide. I want you to take heed to some of the things Michael shares. I've known Michael for many years. He's been a high performing consultant. He's always on the cutting edge. I love talking to him and brainstorming. He's always got some great perspectives. I think you'll enjoy his conversation.
If you want to be a great consultant, I highly recommend you attend TEDx Talks. I had the utmost pleasure of attending the TEDx Beacon Street talks here in Boston. I actually was part of the team. I volunteer, got behind the scenes. I was able to connect with speakers. It was so fabulous. I want to highlight some of my favorite talks. I'm adding that to my mental map of a great consultant. Great consultants should really consider attending this TED Talks. The one I attended was a completely free for someone to register and the amazing thing that they talk about and the ideas had shared, I think anyone that really want to be on a cutting edge of any particular industry, those are the places to be or even to do your own TED Talks. TEDx Beacon Street team, they're working really hard to get the recordings up and running or the various different talk that took place.
Michael, thank you for taking time to join us on The MECE Muse Unplugged. How are you doing?
I'm doing great, Christie. Thanks for inviting me.
It's going to be a cool conversation and you've just got such a colorful background as a consultant and an entrepreneur. Maybe before we get started, if you can take a moment to introduce yourself to the go-getters of The MECE Muse Unplugged.
I've been working in a variety of enterprise technology fields for about twenty years now. About two thirds of that has been spent in consulting and the remaining third as an entrepreneur. As a consultant, I've worked independently for boutique firms and also for software vendor professional services. I think there being four types of consultants depending on whether or not they're implementing and depending on whether or not they're working with clients on full time or part time basis. I segment them into contractors, advisors, freelancers and coaches. For me I've been more of a contractor not only the strategy and advising for clients but also the implementation as a project or product manager about 80% of the time. Then more of a strategic adviser for about 20% of the time.
Serial Entrepreneur: The most fun is when you're doing work that surprises you. You deliver something that you never thought you're actually capable of producing.
At what point in your journey did you decide to go into consulting and how did you make the pivot from the different types of consulting work you've done? Because you've done a lot of great stuff, a lot of great experiences, so how did you make that shift into entrepreneurship and that ebb and flow? If you can just give a little bit of how you got started.
I don't think I ever decided to become a consultant. I think it just happened to me in my very first job. My boss was offered a position at a boutique consultancy in Boston and he asked me to join him and after some initial projects in New York and Switzerland, I was hooked. I think the travel aspect of consulting was something that I really enjoyed especially as a young professional. In terms of entrepreneurship, I've always been an entrepreneur from the very start. That was something that was always in the background. Even as I was consulting, I always thinking of what products I launched on my own. I was always launching products for customers and I'm always thinking how can I get my own product into the market as well.
You became an accidental consultant. Do you have a specific domain that you kind of sum up that's in your expertise or are you a generalist?
I think I've been to a specialist at various different times. I started my career doing data mining actually my graduate degree was in Artificial Intelligence. I immediately want to apply that in business and started doing data mining for telecoms and financial services. Then that started to get me into customer relationship management. I started my career as more like a technical implementer doing both data analytics and also software development. Eventually I got into project management. Once the internet came out and content management became popular starts to get into that field which then took me from web content management to enterprise content management, which took me to knowledge management.
Then I started thinking about how technology impacts people specifically professionals in large corporations and how technology can bring people together to be far more productive. Then I got into enterprise collaboration which was a field that I was in for quite some time. Then as I've launched different startups which have been related to collaboration. I've started to get heavily involved in sales and marketing. It's really critical for entrepreneurship and I would also argue even for consulting. I've started to get into things like customer experience management and then also user experience most recently as well. I have kind of run the gamut in terms of different fields.
I think it's really good because when you think about consulting and how cyclical it could be, you've ebbed and flow then adopted as the needs of the markets changed. When you look at like all the different types of work you've done, what would you say the most fun area that you focused on and why did you enjoy that?
I think the most fun is when you're doing work that surprises you. When you're doing work and you deliver something that you never thought you're actually capable of producing. You're saying to yourself, "Where did that come from?"I was just thinking of an example when I was consulting to one of Canada's largest law firms and I was giving a presentation to the partners at the law firm. Everybody in that room had a lot more experience than I did and it was probably a lot smarter than I was. They're all listening to what I have to say and I'm standing up there giving this presentation and I'm hearing the words coming out of my mouth and I'm thinking, "Who's saying this?" You're slightly amazed by what you're saying or that you're actually capable of doing that. I think those are really fun moments when you're in this moment of flow, when things are just naturally coming out of you. That just worked out really well.
It's how you ebbed and done different things. I have as well, and you're right. I think you get to a point that you can literally, as a consultant, you get dropped into unknown territory. You're able to ramp up, get up to speed and be able to really articulate and have a pulse in an area that sometimes surprises ourselves as well.
It's really how people recommended that you come up with like a five-year plan for your career and I think that's absolutely impossible at least in consulting it is. A six-month plan maybe but five years, you just never know where your career is going to take you. You just have to some extent play by ear.
Share with us like a story of what was like a defining moment in your consulting career that really shaped your values.
I think one moment was when I realized that that's really important to give the people that you're working with ownership of the solutions that you're delivering. Often on projects I've worked with large numbers of stakeholders, but then one time one client suggested that I call them executive producers which I thought was really clever. Because they ended up becoming co-creators of the solution and the best advocacy you could ever hope for on a project. One turning point was realizing that I should not be afraid to give my clients more control. I think as an early consultant, you have this feeling that you've got to jump in and have all the answers and have all the solutions. Whereas when you build those solutions with your clients, it's a much better position to be in.
I actually have a whole chapter that just talks about taking your clients along for the journey, it really highlights some of those points. It has to be a collaboration because I always say the client knows their business best and they have to be part of the solutioning. They have to be part of that journey in order for it to be realistic, that it can be implemented.
I think it also points me to learn to some degree how to do it themselves as well. You're talking early about what makes a great consultant. I think good consultants deliver value and great consultants teach their clients how to create value for themselves. I think that's something that consultants need to keep in mind.
I know you are in the process of a new venture, the enterprising group. Maybe you can share with our go getters a little bit about what enterprising group is and where you are in that launch.
Enterprising group is going to be a peer-to-peer learning network for enterprise professionals specifically practitioners of different enterprise topics. The plan is I'm going to be partnering with consultants for advisory services on every enterprise topic you can think of whether it be employee related issues, business process, IT, and customer issues as well. I'm launching the first site of this network and it's going to be called IT Consulting. It's going to be a site where I'm coaching professionals on how to become IT consultants. I mentioned that I've been doing a lot of contracting and some advisory work, but now I'm making this transition into coaching which is going to be very new for me.
Serial Entrepreneur: Experience is very valuable, but age doesn't always translate into knowledge or wisdom.
Someone had mentioned to me and said, "Have you ever thought of starting a business on helping people to do what you've been doing for years?" I thought, "No, actually I haven't." I'd realized when I stopped and thought about it, I've amassed over twenty years of experience. I probably have a lot to offer professionals and it also made me realized, I've worked on projects. I've actually had clients ask me more about what is it like to be consultant. I'm sure that our clients are probably looking at us thinking, "I could do what they do," and get paid twice as much. I think that they're already thinking about making that transition but need some guidance on how to make that happen.
Coaching is definitely an area that I think any great consultant or anyone striving to be great in their journey should really look at having another support mechanism for their career whether a person is a freelance consultant, they work at a firm, or they're new. I think people sometimes underestimate at least it seemed in the past, maybe the trend is changing. People tend to underestimate the value of coaching in a business environment. I don't know if you remember back in the day, but it felt like when you heard the word coaching, it was almost like it was a deficiency. Someone needs to be coached. It's like they don't know what they're doing. It's so not like that. When you think about like all athletes, I don't care how many medals or how many championships they've won. Usually the first person as by their side is an amazing coach. Why would that be any different in the business setting?
I think every admired person you can look at is probably have a coach behind them or several coaches working with them. I think that time is something that the money just can't buy. I think by having a coach it can accelerate your career. You're working with someone that has already done it. There's this mentality that they look at what you offer and think, "I can do that myself." Of course you can. Nobody's saying that you can't do yourself, it's just going to take you six months to a year but why do that when you can work with someone who can get you going in one or two months. It's all about time and convenience and really accelerating the process.
You mentioned twenty plus years, you got a story background. I know you, you're always like on the cutting edge. When I think about like crossing the chasm and I think about that theory, you're like an early adopter innovator. You're always ahead of the curve. Knowing what you know now, Michael, what advice would you give your younger self?
There's probably several things I can give to people starting a career early in consulting. I remembered when I started consulting back in my twenties. One is that I think comes up for young professionals, I just want to say don't be intimidated by older professionals. Experience is very valuable for sure, but age doesn't always translate into knowledge or wisdom. You're there to do a job, so just focus on doing it and don't let someone belittle you because of an age difference. I can give an example of when I was working at a financial firm in New York and we were talking about theorem. I suggested that maybe we should be monitoring channel performance and someone there said, "No one measures channel performance anymore," and just dismiss the idea and just moved on. I kept my cool and didn't take it personally and Joe just kind of kept checking in with them, making sure his voice is already can say. There was some friction there.
Years later, channel performance is really key with an Omni channel environment. Sometimes older people can make judgments on younger people and you can't let that affect you. You just have to kind of keep moving forward. Another piece of advice I can give is something that I mentioned about having five year plans. I like this quote which says, "How can you achieve your five year plans in the next six months?" I think the purpose of that quote is to challenge your assumptions about what is going to take to make that five year plan happen." What if you have to compress it in six months, how would you make that happen?" I think is really quite thought provoking. For consultants, I think that could better be applied than within the field of sales and marketing. I think consultants don't see themselves as marketers or salespeople.
If they want to be a salesperson, they would've become a salesperson, not a consultant. We're really living in an increasingly competitive world and those are skills that really need to be to be mastered. I think that they should start thinking about them now. Even if a consultant joins a large consulting firm and they look and say, "Yes, someday, in ten years I want to make partner."What do partners do? They do business development which is a nice way of saying sales. I think they need to start thinking about, "How do I start doing that now in small steps?" By the time they move forward in their career, they can be ready to take on those new challenges. I also think to go off on a different tangent, I think consultants should keep an eye on AI, Artificial Intelligence. I really do think that machine learning is going to start eating into a number of tasks that have traditionally been the domain of consultants. For example, advising on detailed analysis or predictive modeling is going to be a task that's going to be increasingly taken on by machines.
Consultants have to think, "How do they play in that new reality with some other work being overtaken? How are they going to add more value to that process in the future," is something to be mindful of. Finally, this is just a very small minor note as a young professional. When I started on consulting engagements, I used to think that it was beneath me like, "Shouldn't someone else be taking notes? I've got these degrees and this and that night, I don't want to be taking notes. I'm here to solve problems. I'm here to deliver solutions, not take notes." Twenty years later, I take notes all the time. I take notes before meetings, during meetings, after meetings. I keep a dating journal of everything that I work on and I think that not only do you solve your own problems by taking notes also when you send those notes to clients, you're making your clients feel like they're being heard and it's really valuable. Don't feel bad about taking notes. It's one of the most valuable things you can do as a consultant.
This is exactly why you probably need to head up, Michael towards coaching services. He just dropped some really good key nuggets, so thank you Michael. Those insights were extremely helpful. I think depending on the type of perspective you have, some people see it as doomsday, others see it as the next coming of a gold rush. An AI from the perspective especially for any newbie or aspiring consultants, what are some of the things they need to do now to begin to prepare for that? Because with AI and just the avenue of the landscape is changing over the next five to ten years, people need to start ramping up on skills that I think are still being identified. We're still trying to figure out what the workforce of the future looks like. I hear a lot of people talk about it, but I still don't know if we really still on the cusp of turning that corner.
Even with my background in AI, I'm not sure if I can predict exactly how things are going to go. There's just been so much change lately just because of the increasing computing power. I loved AI back in the '90s when I got started in it, but we never had the computing power that we have today, so it was never as easy to get things going as it is right now. It's a really interesting field. It's a very interesting to see how things are going to develop.
Thank you so much, Michael, for your time. Have you got any last parting remarks for the go getters?
No, thank you so much, Christie. It's really been a pleasure to be here and as always I always enjoy our discussions.
Go-getters, if you have a question, feedback, just drop us a line at MECEMuseUnplugged@Gmail.com. Thank you Michael, and thank you to my go-getters. This is Christie Lindor signing out for The MECE Muse Unplugged pop-up podcast, and here is to your journey to greatness.
I provide consulting in emerging technologies and enterprise collaboration. My clients tend to be rapidly growing knowledge-based companies that use timely insights within collaborative networks to create new revenue streams or social benefits. When I say "knowledge-based", I mean companies that create, maintain, and distribute "knowledge products".
I like to collaborate across disciplines with experts in emerging IT technologies. I'm fascinated by new inventions that improve the quality and meaning of our lives. Whether it be big data or blockchain, augmented reality or AI, CX or cloud computing – technology has the potential to radically change the nature of work.
Of all the technologies I have worked with, collaboration software has been my favorite. I love the idea of technology bringing people closer together in order to accomplish more than they ever could alone. I'm grateful to have worked on various enterprise collaboration initiatives for some amazing companies, such as Bell Canada, Ford Foundation, ICTJ, Verizon Business, Coca-Cola Enterprises, Canada Health Infoway, Stikeman Elliot, and WaMu. Sometimes I've launched my own collaborative products, such as Trendr, VenturePods, and Projectstars. Collaboration technology evolves quickly and I'm excited to be creating the ultimate guide to designing your "collaboration stack".

According to a UN report, the world needs over $384 billion a year by 2025 to protect nature. That goes up to $674 billion by 2050. Biodiversity credits play a critical role to fill that money up.
The Concept of Biodiversity Credit
Biodiversity credits are patterned after the concept of carbon credits. Each carbon credit represents a 1 tonne reduction of carbon emissions.
However, things are more complicated with preserving or restoring biodiversity. There are plenty of metrics involved to track progress. So analysts can't agree on many things.
For instance, what these credits must look like and how to use them. Some even say that the scheme may go wrong if it allows firms to buy credits as permits for degradation elsewhere.
As the debate continues during the summit, many questions remain on the table.
The hardest one to address is how to value biodiversity uniformly. There are simply millions of diverse species of flora and fauna. Plus, the biodiversity in each area is unique.
So, how should the market price the value of fungi living in a forest? Or the variety of plant species under the ocean?
No Unified Approach to Quantify Biodiversity Gains
Some organizations, including businesses and academics, believe that biodiversity credits can drive financing toward nature conservation. They have some proposals for different methodologies.
With nature's complexity, various methodologies may exist, according to a founder of a biodiversity credit firm. For example, a well-preserved natural habitat may have to quantify only conservation costs. But an area that needs restoration may have to also measure increases in species richness.
Some don't even propose to track the flora or fauna. They instead value efforts such as hiring rangers or implementing monitoring systems to avoid deforestation.
But there's one approach that aims to measure and value biodiversity gains. Wallacea Trust, a UK non-profit, monitors at least 5 animal categories in an area. Each of them is valued based on how rare the species are in the country, and their abundance is estimated.
For every 1% increase in species abundance/richness or prevented loss per hectare, one biodiversity credit is generated.
Implementing Voluntary Market for Biodiversity Credits
The big question remains on why companies should buy biodiversity credits with a lot of queries around them.
In Australia, the government makes it compulsory for companies to buy biodiversity credits to offset damage caused in one area and fund preservation in another. This may be the case with EU firms with new rules forcing them to disclose impacts on nature.
But some industry groups oppose the idea of the credits letting businesses offset destruction elsewhere.
However, negotiators at the COP15 summit focus their talks on the potential voluntary markets in the private sector. They're not after the compliance markets where biodiversity credits trading is mandatory.
The draft of the COP15 discussion also hinted at the promotion of a related scheme "biodiversity offsets".
Outside the summit, the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Biodiversity Credit Alliance are discussing how to set up a voluntary market. They plan to launch it next year with a system that ensures the credits deliver their conservation claims.
Having a high standard in place is critical as a policy officer from a carbon credit platform noted:
"When you can point to many examples in a market of low quality or low standards, it creates distrust and it impacts the integrity of the overall market…"
Other experts caution that biodiversity credits will allow companies to "greenwash," or make false claims of conserving nature.
But it's worth emphasizing that biodiversity credits do not replace governments with strict laws prohibiting nature's degradation. According to Pollination's CEO, Martijn Wilder, governments must compel companies to invest in biodiversity.
Verra, one of the world's largest registry of carbon credits, said it will reveal its own standard for biodiversity credits in 2023.

Golden Ruby Games presents Extreme Exorcism, a game whose difficulty increases due to your own actions. Mae Barrons is a ghost hunter exploring a large haunted mansion. The trouble is, the ghosts can copy her actions. So, when you start out, you have only one ghost to fight, and you just need to run over and grab a weapon from a spawner and kill it. But in the second round, the ghost follows your previous movements exactly, even running over and grabbing the weapon. Still, you will have remembered your movements, so this is not terribly difficult… but after several rounds and several ghosts imitating all of your previous movements, things can get pretty crazy. Even more so when you consider that the game offers 4P co-op. The player has access to more than 20 weapons with which to eliminate the ghosts of their former selves, and you can stack up to three weapons and use them simultaneously.
Extreme Exorcism is now available for PC via Steam, PS3 and PS4 via PSN, Xbox One via XBLA, and Wii U via eShop.


Hello December! It's that most wonderful time of the year!
It's a time for celebrating with family and friends and gift giving, so we wanted to give all of our lovely blog readers a fun download this month. We all decorated a little Christmas house that is three-dimensional once it's cut out, folded and glued together. You can make a row of them to display on a shelf or mantle or you can get a little more creative and make them into ornaments for your tree. Have fun crafting!


I previously posted in this blog on the School Road closure scheme ( see Sept 11th, July 20th & Jan 29th).
Following an update from Cllr Jenkins to Moseley Forum on Tuesday 29th Oct I wrote to the Council for some clarification. I have copied below a reply I have received from Joe Green of the Transportation & Connectivity Team.
I've also had previous confirmation that the letters will be sent to residents along the entire length of School Road, any road that leads directly off School Road (and roads leading off these), Valentine Road and Cambridge Road. Also (after I made some representation) it will now include Oxford Road between St. Mary's Row and Billesley Lane, and Billesley Lane between Wake Green Road and the junction with Cambridge Road/ Southlands Road.
I sent some further information across to Cllr Jenkins this morning, on the back of a request from discussions at last night's Moseley Forum meeting.The meeting you mention was requested by School Road Traffic Issues Group to provide them with an update, and was attended by Phil Edwards and myself.
Please can you confirm whether an engineer has been allocated to the scheme yet and if so who it is?
Yes, this project has now been approved and funding allocated. It will be overseen by Natalia Haberko in our Infrastructure Delivery team. Gill and I are currently in the process of handing everything across to Natalia for taking things forward, but we will continue to be involved to support the communication and engagement elements of this scheme.
Will there be any formal consultation either before or during the experimental period?
A letter drop of the local area is being organised to inform residents of what is happening. It is envisaged that this will be sent out week commencing 12th November.
It is not necessary to hold formal (statutory) consultation for an experimental traffic order, other than with the emergency services who are in the process of being contacted.
There will be ongoing consultation while the experimental traffic order is in place, and any views or comments submitted during this period will be recorded to help inform future decisions.
How long do you envisage the experimental period to be?
The maximum length of time that an experimental traffic order can remain in place for is 18 months, after which point it is either progressed to a permanent intervention (pending formal consultation) or removed. It is generally seen as good practice to keep an experimental traffic order in place for a minimum of 6 months, but there is scope to remove it sooner than this if deemed necessary.
There is scope for the scheme to become permanent if it is deemed that the experimental road closure has been successful. However this would be subject to a formal consultation process – and this would need to have been completed within the maximum period of 18 months for an experimental traffic order for there to be no break in the provision of this intervention.
What traffic surveys are planned to take place before and during the experimental scheme?
Natalia will be developing monitoring arrangements for this scheme, which will include traffic counts before and during the experimental closure.
There is some existing data from traffic counts carried out at locations in the area last year that can potentially be used, and we will work with the local engineer to identify locations for any further counts; they have already suggested that the junctions of Oxford Road/St Mary's Row and Billesley Lane/Wake Green Road should be included.
I hope these answers are useful, we are keen to keep local residents informed of what is happening and shall continue to seek to do so.
I learned from Cllr Jenkins last night at a Moseley Forum meeting that a meeting has taken place with the School Road Traffic Issues group and the funding has been approved for the experimental scheme. There was also a suggestion that as it is an experimental scheme no further consultation will take place following the letter, which is still to go out to residents.
This scheme is going to cost a lot of money to implement so it is important we get it right, otherwise it will be money wasted. I am concerned that the decision to carry out this experimental closure has been made with very little consultation and there are still people who will be directly affected who do not know it is taking place.
I'm also concerned that proper measures need to be taken to correctly survey the amount and speed of traffic on these roads and potentially affected roads, both before and at periods after the experiment, so that the scheme can be properly evaluated.
Are you able to please update me on these points?
It would seem that Birmingham Council cannot keep their word! It was stated at the preliminary community meeting that they would not effect any plan that would just transfer the traffic problem onto ancillary roads, in other words, move the problem elsewhere, but this is exactly what they have done. If the Council sees fit to ignore the residents' problems, we should return the compliment next election time. This intended measure is ill conceived and dangerous, in so many ways, and WE, the taxpayer are given no option but to pay for it. The whole consultation process has been a total sham, and only goes to confirm that the Council cannot be trusted to address our local problems.
Hi David. Thanks for the comment. I have emailed the council to make representations for both a formal consultation and a traffic impact study to take place prior to the implementation of the scheme. If you haven't done so already I suggest you also email the Councillors.
Hello Izzy, thank you for your reply. I cannot think that any resident communication at this point, to any Council member regarding the intended road closure of School Road, will have any effect on their plans, now apparently, being put into operation by a selected contractor. It is nothing more than an insult to the many residents who attended meetings to air the daily problems up and down the Road, mainly at the Kings Heath end, where I live. I can send you a photo taken today of careless obstructive parking opposite the Methodist church. This happens daily, and forces parents with push chairs, into the Road as the gaps left by inconsiderate motorists is too small to negotiate. The intended closure will do nothing to stop two way motorists from driving on the pavements. When this blockage is erected the chaos it will cause by unsuspecting traffic will force undue pressure on ancillary roads, something the Council has now ignored. Considering where this blockage is situated, there will be few turning spaces to redirect traffic. The financial cost of this ill thought out fiasco, also considering the on going maintenance of adequate lighting and illuminated warning signs, beggars belief as it ignores the fundamental points put forward by residents. Unless adequate night time illumination has been allowed for, I foresee a serious accident happening when anyone coming up School Road at night, happens upon this blockage as it occurs round a bend in the road. No one observes speed limits at night in School Road, and I very much doubt that the Council has considered this. I fear it will be a case of 'I told you so' in the event of an accident, but as usual no one will be held responsible. I thank you for your interest, but unless you have some political magic wand to wave, this will be yet another Council folly.

Great write up. What is GBA's fleet now with the Tris gone? The same must be asked for Air2there - they must be down to a couple of PA31s and that's it? From an outsiders point of view, it almost looks like both companies are shedding aircraft (and cost) to stick around. Hopefully they have both made it through the difficult times now.
Air2there have the C208,PA31 and B200, and looks like they may be operating F406 XLF again looking at flightawares movements?
Interestingly, Caravan ZK-MYH flew from Auckland to Wellington 18 May and has since taken up duties with owner Air2There. So is that the end of the agreement or just a temporary measure? PA31 ZK-RDT and BN2 ZK-FVD @ AKL. Is PA31 ZK-NSN still at Whenuapai after its wheelsup?
Is PA31 ZK-NSN still at Whenuapai after its wheelsup?
As at last Sunday, yes.
Council entered into the arrangement for Kaitaia seemingly with clear understanding of the aircraft to be flown....Looks a little like they may have been short changed?
I hope not, concerning though.
These things take time. You can't just click your fingers and have over a million bucks of aeroplane ready to fly. Especially not when bureaucracy is involved.
Your closing though seems to parallel my thoughts is all.

Q: Importing a single function from a module in VB.Net I was wondering if I can import a single function like python without importing all the other things like python does:
from prog1 import func

A: In VB you need to do two things to able to use a function or anything else declared in another assembly or namespace.

*

*Add a reference to the assembly (*.dll, *.exe).

*Import the namespace. E.g. Imports System.Drawing.

Then you can use all the things in there.
Instead of using an Imports statement you can also specify the namespace directly. Example:
'Without Imports
Dim image As System.Drawing.Image
image = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(myImagefile)

With Imports System.Drawing at the top of the code:
Dim image As Image
image = New Bitmap(myImagefile)

The most important assemblies are already referenced and the most often used namespaces imported implicitly. These namespaces are list in the project properties under References.
Note that you cannot import single functions, you always have to reference a whole assembly. The Imports does not influence the resources used. It only makes it handier to access things. They reduce typing.
Note also, that the standard .NET libraries of the .NET Framework are installed on the system and are already compiled. They are not imported physically into your project, they are only referenced. I.e., using them does not make your application bigger.

Updated - NOT so great britain is North Korea - Sentenced to 9 months in jail for reporting that British Girls were Raped by Muslim Gangs on an "Industrial Scale"
If anyone ever tells me that NOT so great britain is a democracy, I will whip out my fly and piss on his face or her face!!! It's a sham democracy. British Girls Raped by Muslim Gangs on "Industrial Scale"
Disgusting what the british government and many of its people have become. We are all Tommy. The UK is a scary place. I am glad I don't live there. U.S.A. for Tommy! Watching this after sentencing of 9 months. Travesty of justice. The whole world is watching your country. Best of Luck Tommy!
The establishment doesn't even hide how corrupt they are anymore!! This is stupid , I can't get my head around this . Were the judges Muslim or something. You pair of corrupt judges should be ashamed of your selfish how can you put Tommy and his family through this! A disgrace, we fought two world wars for this. The is the most disgusting corruption and abuse of judicial power I have ever heard seen.
Watch this video clip here before it is taken down. Jihad Watch : Tommy Robinson is heading back to jail, with a sentence that could be a death sentence at the hands of Muslim inmates who threatened and menaced him when he was in prison before. He is being sent back to prison now for doing what reporters routinely do outside criminal trials.
The British government is clearly making an example of him in order to try to deter more Britons from protesting against its policies of mass Muslim immigration and its covering up of crimes perpetrated by Muslims in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings.
This conviction and sentencing shows not Tommy Robinson's contempt of court, but the contempt of the British government for its own citizens, and particularly for the victims of Muslim rape gangs. "Tommy Robinson jailed for nine months for contempt of court," by Zoe Drewett, Metro, July 11, 2019:
9 months prison for Tommy! This sentence by the criminal judges is with the goal to scare people! Absolutely Fashist-komunist-socualist dictating action by these judges! BBC has a lot to do with that too! UK proved us it is not democratic Union at all!

Textile recycling: A step towards sustainability
Textileshave a significant impact on the environment during their lifecycle. Largeamount of water, energy, pesticides and fertilizers have made the globaltextile industry one of the most polluting and waste producing industries inthe world. Recycling textile has become the newest addition to the materialsthat are recycled and redirected from the landfill.
Recycling and reusing textiles, fibres and wastematerials is an effective method to build sustainability in the apparelindustry. A report by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency states that textilesare an important source of greenhouse gas emissions. In order to reduce thegreenhouse gas emissions, efforts are made to increase textile recycling. Inthe current scenario, recycling clothing would have an effect equivalent toremoving one million cars off the road every year.
InU.K. people consume 2 million tons of clothing from which, 0.5 million tons arerecycled. However, 1 million ton is still disposed off. While in Europe, onecan find a textile waste of around 14million tons out of which, a quarter of 5million tons are recycled. Therefore, it has become imperative to developinnovative methods to recycle textiles and produce beneficial items out ofrecycled post-consumer materials.
Textilesthrown into the landfills have become a big global problem. Natural fibers takeyears to decompose, whereas man-made fibers do not decompose. Woolen clothes dodecompose, but release methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Thiscontributes towards global warming. Synthetic fabrics in the landfill releasenitrous oxide which is a powerful greenhouse gas. Besides, toxic substancespollute groundwater and surrounding soil.
InU.S., the manufacturers recycle 75% of the pre-consumer textile waste, whereasonly 15% of post-consumer textile waste is recycled. Therefore, consumers arebelieved to be the biggest culprits, responsible for the textile waste. It isshown that an average American discards around 70 pounds of clothing, shoes andother textile waste every year, which means in America 13 million tons oftextile waste is generated every year.
Inorder to curb the growth of textile waste, textile recycling is the onlyoption. Moreover, textile recycling offers many environmental benefits. Itdecreases the need for landfill space, keeping in mind the greenhouse gasesreleased from the textiles dumped. In addition, the area surrounding thelandfill poses risk to the groundwater. Every time it rains, the water absorbsall the chemicals and toxic materials from whatever is dumped in the landfillsuch as chemicals, dyes and bleaches used on textiles.
This water gets collected at the bottom of the landfill, which can be 200 times more toxic than the sewage water. By re-using the existing fibres and textiles, it reduces the need for newly manufactured fibers. This saves water, energy, dyes and chemicals, which results into less pollution.
It is observed that if each person in UK bought one recycled woolen garment every year, it would save approximately 371 gallons of water and 480 tons of chemical dyes. Today, many fashion brands are coming forward to use recycled fibres and fabrics in their apparel collection. Recycling fashion can be done in three ways.
The first method is using textiles that are manufactured from recycled fibres or products. For example, recycled polyester made from used plastic bottles. The second method is recycling textile fabric which is also called "Upcycling". For example, using unwanted factory surplus or materials which are normally thrown away.
Thirdly, recycling clothing or garments, like using second hand clothes by repairing or re-fashioning it, to give a second life. It is found that over 70% of the world's population uses second hand clothes. The textile recycling industry in U.S. does a noteworthy job by creating 17000 jobs and removing 2.5 billion pounds of post consumer textile waste from the dump yard every year.
The textile recycling process is different for natural and synthetic fibers. For textiles made from natural fibers, the unwearable material is first sorted according to the type of the fabric and color. Through color sorting it is determined that no re-dyeing is required, which saves energy, water and reduce pollution. Depending on the final use of the yarn, the textiles are pulled into fibres, shredded or other fibres are incorporated with it.
In the next step the yarn is cleaned and mixed through a carding process. The yarn is re-spun and is ready to be used for weaving or knitting. There are special processes of textile recycling for some fibers. Some fibres are not spun into yarns but are compressed so that they can be used for textile filling for example filling used in mattresses.
For textiles made from polyester, another process is employed wherein the garments are shredded and then granulated to make polyester chips. These chips are melted to make new fibers, which can be used in new polyester fabrics. Although, in the present situation, textile recycling is facing problems related with cost, time and technology. But, as more and more apparel manufacturers and other clothing organizations understand the importance of sustainability, more attention will be given to improve the recycling productivity.
The main obstacle in increasing the textile recycling productivity is that clothing comprises of various fibres. Sorting and reprocessing such clothing is a big challenge. Some fibers like cotton and linen can be reused but petroleum based fibres like polyester have very little chance of reuse.
Making textile sorting easy will be a notable achievement towards enhancing the efficiency of textile recycling. T4T (Textiles for Textiles) machine has been developed to improve and speed up the process of textile sorting. The machine can sort textiles based on fibre composition, color, chemical combination and other aspects. The machine can detect the specific properties of the garment and sort it quickly and efficiently. It can scan around one garment per second.
Normally the recycled textiles are used in making low priced products. However, the new technology will change this situation, as the materials that are sorted by the machine can compete with virgin materials, and are used for making high quality products. The sorting companies collect only good quality clothing but the T4T machine can even recycle textile waste into raw materials.
Different sustainability strategies are being developed for effective utilization of textile waste. Manufacturers need to have pro-active approach towards textile recycling. It is anticipated that textile recycling industry will continue to grow. Therefore, the apparel industry must aim at re-using and reprocessing clothes, fibres and scraps in the most efficient way to achieve sustainability.
