Channel 5 first went on the air on February 8, 1947 as KSD-TV. It was owned by the Pulitzer Publishing Company along with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and KSD radio (AM 550, now KTRS, and 93.7 FM). It was the 7th television station in the United States, the first television station in Missouri, and the second west of the Mississippi River (after Los Angeles' KTLA-TV). Due to an FCC-imposed freeze, it was the only St. Louis television station until 1953 when KTVI signed on.
Channel 5 has always been an NBC affiliate, owing to KSD-AM's long affiliation with NBC radio. It is currently the longest-tenured affiliate of any network. In its early years, it also carried secondary affiliations with CBS, DuMont and ABC. KSD was also the first St. Louis television station to broadcast in color.
KSD-TV was traded to Multimedia, Inc. for WFBC-TV in Greenville, South Carolina (now WYFF-TV) in 1983. It was a rare instance of one company's flagship station being traded for another. Multimedia changed the calls to the current KSDK.
KSD's first year on the air was also the beginning of a long association with the St. Louis Cardinals. On May 8, 1966, in the ceremony for the opening of Busch Stadium II, Bill Houska, Sr. flew home plate from Sportsman's Park to the new stadium in "Chopper 5". After nearly forty years, KSDK lost the rights to KPLR in 1988, but regained them 19 years later.
During the 1980s and 1990s, KSDK was the best-performing NBC affiliate in the country. To this day, KSDK is the highest-rated NBC affiliate in the top 30 markets, despite the NBC network's overall ratings slide since the 2004-2005 season.
KSDK has had a long history of producing local TV programs, including the Wranglers Club, with Texas Bruce (1950-1963), Corky's Colorama, with Clif St. James playing Corky the Clown (1963-1980), Newsbeat, hosted by Dick Ford and John Auble (1976-1984) and Midday A.M. (c. 1979-1986).
During the mid-1980s, Sally Jessy Raphaël's talk show originated from St. Louis. In 1995, Multimedia Inc. merged with Gannett and on September 5, 1995, KSDK began producing and airing Show Me St. Louis from 3–3:30pm each weekday. The multiple award-winning program highlights local attractions and events that are family-oriented. In 1998, KSDK debuted the "Window on St. Louis", a streetside studio located in the same downtown St. Louis building that also houses KSDK's other studios. Show Me St. Louis is aired from this studio that welcomes the public to take part in the broadcasts. The Window on St. Louis is modeled on Today's "Window on the World". In 2000, KSDK launched its website: www.ksdk.com
In an attempt to provide St. Louisans with local and national election results available during the 2004 elections, KSDK partnered with KETC, St. Louis' PBS affiliate, to simulcast election coverage. The partnership was first utilized to broadcast a gubernatorial debate between Secretary of State of Missouri Matt Blunt, a Republican), and then-State Auditor of Missouri Claire McCaskill (D). On election night, KSDK aired NBC's primetime election coverage with Tom Brokaw and Tim Russert as well as segments of local results; on KETC, Mike Bush and Karen Foss hosted three hours of all local election results. Viewers could also watch election results online.
In 2004, KSDK sponsored and was the official media partner for "Celebrate 2004," a year-long event that commemorated the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and the centennial of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (or, St. Louis World's Fair) and the 1904 Summer Olympics (The Games of the III Olympiad, which were the first Olympic Games held in the United States). Throughout 2004 there were special events held to honor the anniversaries.
"Celebrate 2004" began on New Year's Eve 2003 with "'04 Eve," which was held in Forest Park. Beginning with '04 Eve, and throughout 2004, a giant Ferris wheel was constructed in Forest Park much like the one that existed for the 1904 World's Fair. River Splash were a series of concerts held on the St. Louis riverfront beneath the St. Louis Arch featuring a "waterwall" upon which there were laser shows and projections. The newly remodled St. Louis Eads Bridge was transformed into the "Eats Bridge" when local restaurants opened on it to serve customers. The Missouri History Museum opened a Lewis and Clark exhibit and the United States Postal Service issued a commorative bicentennial stamp. On its way to Athens, Greece, the Olympic Flame arrived for an overnight stop in Forest Park amid much fanfare in July (KSDK anchors Rene Knott and Kelly Jackson were among the torchbearers). St. Louis also hosted the U.S. Women's Marathon Trials in April as well as the U.S. Diving Trials. "Celebrate 2004" came to a close on New Year's Eve 2004.
The KSDK/KETC partnership continued through September 2005 when, along with radio partners KYKY (98.1 kHz.) and KEZK (102.5 kHz.), a telethon for Hurricane Katrina relief was simulcast that raised more than $5 million.
The first broadcast of any local program in St. Louis in high-definition was the St. Louis Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 24, 2005. Incidentally, the 2005 parade also marked the end of an era for KSDK; the parade, which had been a Thanksgiving Day tradition on KSDK, moved to KMOV for the 2006 edition.
On December 7, 2006, KSDK announced that, beginning with the 2007 season, it will once again be the flagship station of the Cardinals Television Network.[2]
Throughout 2007, KSDK celebrated its 60th anniversary with special programming and segments during news broadcasts.
"A Place to Call Home" is a weekly Emmy Award-Winning segment that features one child who is in need of adoption. Since August 2003, 50% of the children who have appeared on KSDK have been adopted. A secondary program, "Little Wishes" allows viewers to are unable to adopt the child to add a little happiness to the life of a foster child by purchasing a gift for him/her.
"Friend to Friend" is a program that reminds viewers on the fifth of each month to perform a breast self-exam to catch breast cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages. Viewers can also contact KSDK for a packet that includes information and reminders on performing a breast self exam. KSDK is also a major sponsor and partner of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer foundation and the St. Louis Race for the Cure, which in 2006 overtook Denver as the largest in the country with more than 64,000 participants, and in 2007 raised more than $2.5 million with more than 65,000 participants.[3]
Volunteer 5 is a weekly, week-long program that features a local charity or other community organization in need of donations, but most importantly volunteers. KSDK's Volunteer 5 operates as a telethon, with phone operators taking calls between 4 and 7pm each weeknight from anyone wishing to donate time or money. Volunteer 5 has provided more than $5 million annually in services and hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours to local non-profit organizations. The program began in 1993 to help those affected by the Great Flood of 1993. Volunteer 5 has been absent on KSDK since November 2005, though it still appears on KSDK's website.
The Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon airs each Labor Day on KSDK. Mike Bush hosts the local telethon that, in September 2007, raised $2 million, of which every penny stays in St. Louis.
KSDK-DT broadcasts on digital channel 35.

Main article: List of awards won by KSDK
Since Show Me St. Louis first went on the air in 1995, it has been a popular show highlighting local entertainment and other, mostly family oriented, attractions around St. Louis. Show Me St. Louis is usually broadcast from the Window on St. Louis where local groups and organizations can bring signs to advertise for their events, but occasionally it leaves the studio to broadcast from local attractions (The St. Louis Zoo, Busch Stadium, The Fox Theatre, etc.). Show Me St. Louis also leaves the studio to broadcast from surrounding communities (Florissant, MO, Waterloo, IL, etc.) that have uncommon or unknown attractions of interest to viewers. These Great Escapes (as the show is titled) usually occur during summer months.
Show Me St. Louis has also drawn criticism, however, because some of its segments and a few entire episodes are sponsored, pushing it into the ever-growing realm of advertainment. Preceding and following each episode, a disclaimer states that "portions of Show Me St. Louis have been paid for." After individual segments, a card with information is shown. If it was paid for, the card will also say "Segment paid for by insert business name here . Simply Irresistible is a primetime program that interrupts regularly scheduled NBC programing for what is essentially a local infomercial.
During the 1980s, Sally Jessy Raphaël's talk show Sally originated from KSDK's studios. Over the years, KSDK has aired syndicated programs like Martha Stewart Living (which Gannett stopped airing when she was sent to prison; now on WRBU-TV, channel 46), Montel (which aired on KMOV until 2008), Entertainment Tonight (currently on KMOV) and The Jane Pauley Show. When The Jane Pauley Show was canceled, it was replaced by Today at Ten and the previous day's episode of Show Me St. Louis. The Ellen DeGeneres Show is broadcast by KSDK at 1pm every weekday. KSDK has long been the home of syndicated programs like The Oprah Winfrey Show (since 1986), Jeopardy! (since 1984), and Wheel of Fortune (since 1983).
KSDK broadcasts a total of 32 hours of local news a week (four hours on Sunday-Fridays and 3½ hours on Saturdays). KSDK operates a Bell 206B3 JetRanger called "Chopper 5", to cover breaking news and track severe weather.
In 1989, KSDK dropped the Eyewitness News branding to become NewsChannel 5, and also began broadcasting 24 hours a day. When NewsChannel 5 Weather PLUS debuted in June of 2005 on its digital subchannel, KSDK became the first local St. Louis television station to launch a secondary channel on cable. On September 12, 2005, KSDK began airing Today at Ten, an additional half-hour long weekday mid-morning news program. Beginning at 10am, Today at Ten, airs immediately following NBC's Today.
On February 6, 2006, KSDK became the first St. Louis television station, and seventh station in the country, to broadcast all news and local programming in high definition. KSDK also became the first local St. Louis station to stream all of its newscasts on its website. On August 13, 2007, KSDK debuted Online @ 9, a 10-minute news-webcast tailored to an online audience and streamed exclusively on its website. In December 2008, KSDK affiliated its NewsChannel 5 Weather PLUS digital subchannel with the Local AccuWeather Channel, following the discontinuation of NBC Weather Plus.
News Environments, Graphics Packages, and Music
In 1997, a new news set was introduced, along with a new graphics package, which reinforced KSDK's 1989 rebranding from "Eyewitness News" to "NewsChannel 5." The new set had a backdrop of the newsroom during all newscasts except NewsChannel 5 at 6, during which a backdrop of the St. Louis skyline was inserted; a special backdrop was also used during the Olympics and various local and national elections. The graphics package introduced with the new set was replaced in 2001 with one almost identical as those found at sister station WUSA in Washington, D.C. (the only differences were the station logos and the images of various local buildings in the news opens).
Shortly before Rene Knott was hired to replace Mike Bush as Sports Director in early 2004, the SportsPlus set and graphics package were replaced. Though the logo stayed the same, the title officially changed from Mike Bush's Sports Plus to just Sports Plus. With the addition of Rene Knott to the sports department, Sports Plus became Sports Plus with Rene Knott & Frank Cusumano.
In May 2004, KSDK began broadcasting from a temporary news set while their main news desk and weather center underwent remodeling. There were no major changes besides a change in color scheme and the addition of several plasma screen monitors. The color scheme of the new set shifted from blue and brown to tan, silver, and red to match the colors in the "5" logo. A window with a semi-transparent NBC peacock partially blocked the view of the newsroom behind the anchors. The Volunteer 5 phone-banks were not updated but the rest of the set refreshment was complete in August 2004.
KSDK debuted a new graphic package, music (NBC Flagship), and news environment on February 6, 2006 (consisting of a sit-down interview set, a smaller reporting desk, a color-changing backdrop used for demonstrations like cooking segments, a new main news desk, and a new "WeatherPlus Weather Center") due to KSDK's switch to high-definition. The new news graphics were the first in nearly five years (though the Show Me St. Louis and SportsPlus graphics had been updated and the weather graphics were updated in early 2005 with the introduction of WeatherPlus to St. Louis), the Show Me St. Louis and SportsPlus graphics were updated as well. The set occupies the studio space that formerly housed the SportsPlus and Volunteer 5 sets.
KSDK's Current Logo
KSDK also debuted an updated logo that is essentially the same as the old one but in the new logo the grey has been replaced by shiny silver and the red seems deeper and darker (and is also shiny), and also includes an oval with "HD" inside it.
Starting in 2007, the Gannett-owned stations began revamping their graphics and started using a new news music package to be more closely aligned with each other. The stations now have standardized graphics and news music (Rampage Music's Gannett News Music Package) on October 21, 2008 on their noon newscast.

Local Minnesota governments spent $8M on lobbying in 2013
Local governments in Minnesota spent more than $8 million in 2013 lobbying the Legislature and other units of government, a 3.3 percent increase over the amount spent the year before, according to a new report.
The 388-page study by the state auditor notes that 84 local governments have designated lobbyists, either staff or contract, who cost the entities about $3.8 million last year, roughly 2 percent less than in 2012.
Minneapolis spent more than any other municipality, nearly $307,000, followed by Hennepin County ($244,543), and the Western Minnesota Municipal Power Agency ($206,390). (Top 10 below.)
One government entity that doesn't show up in the top 10 in 2013 is the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, which was No. 2 on the 2012 list. That panel advocated for a new Vikings stadium, which required a number of government approvals. The Legislature in May 2012 approved a deal that paved the way for the new $1 billion stadium, now under construction in downtown Minneapolis.
The commission was abolished in 2012 and its successor organization, the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, charged with the design, construction and operation of the new stadium, was No. 8 on the 2013 list (below).
Local governments also pay fees – about $11 million last year – to lobby groups that work on their behalf, including: Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities ($835,674), League of Minnesota Cities ($628,945) and the Minnesota School Boards Association ($511,404), the report says.
Check out other lobbying reports from past years here.
The biggest spenders on lobbying in 2013:
Minneapolis: $306,953
Hennepin County: $244,543
Western Minnesota Municipal Power Agency: $206,390
City of St. Paul: 157,936
Ramsey County: $151,143
Metropolitan Airports Commission: $148,853
Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board: $138,000
St. Louis County: $112,195
Anoka County: $111,544
Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority: $108,276
Dakota County: $107,286
Counties Transit Improvement Board: $103,720

Arts & Entertainment Artist Feature
Greta Van Fleet: Gemutlichkeit & Pursuit of the Right Sound
Posted In: Arts & Entertainment, Artist Feature, From Issue 783 By: Robert 'Bo' White
02nd August, 2017 0
Editor's Note: Hometown heroes Greta Van Fleet are definitely on the fast-track to success, having sold out their appearance at The Viper Room in Los Angeles, receiving rave reviews on the West Coast; and also opening for fellow Michigan legend Bob Seger on his upcoming tour. With their debut single also hitting 2 million downloads on Spotify this week, the group is also appearing in a series of European dates also announced for the fall. It's hard to believe that three-and-a-half hears ago the Review's Bo White sat down for the first interview with the band in these pages; and 3 years ago they made their regional debut at our 29th Annual Review Music Awards ceremony. Check out this piece from our archives that takes us back to the beginning
Greta Van Fleet seemed to emerge from the ether as fully formed prodigies, channeling Led Zeppelin and leaping to the front of the pack. They have the look and sound of classic rockers yet have embraced the earthy realism of singers like Janis Joplin and Buddy Guy and the soulfulness of Sam & Dave. Their talent is breathtaking and their reach is beyond the stratosphere.
Only in their teens, Greta van Fleet has emerged as a musical force of the first degree and they leave the rest of us slacked-jawed as their precocious skills continue evolving at a rapid pace. Consisting of Josh Kiska on vocals, Jake Kiska on lead guitar, bassist Sam Kiska, and Daniel Wegner on drums; and under the guidance of manager Michael Barbee, this is the perfect band for this imperfect time. Chronologically mankind is entering a New Millennium. Astrologically we are in the Age of Aquarius. The aspects are right and the moon and stars are aligned. We are living in a time of sameness and change, old and new. This is the perfect time for Greta Van Fleet.
How'd you come up with the name?
Josh: Oh, we had been going over a lot of names, and we decided we'd just flip open the phone book. On one page we had flipped was Gretna Ensley. We decided we'd take out the "n" in Gretna and it was Greta Ensley and it just worked real well because the next day we had to go play Auto Fest out in the street, so we had to have a name and that was it. After a while we looked it up to see if it had any meaning whatsoever, and it ended up meaning "Pride of the Sea" or "Light of the Ocean."
So you got together, the three brothers and a good friend. Did it seem like you developed your gifts quickly?
Jake: It went ridiculously fast. I can't personally remember when I started because it's kind of like staging it in a way. You just know how to do it. I've always played music. The bass player is incredible; he's learned so much in a year's time, so it's more than just the bass. He can play anything - keyboard, mandolin… he can play guitar as well and the drummer is awesome. Our rhythm section is phenomenal, like we cover all grounds.
I heard you sound like Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin. Did he inspire you?
Josh: I liked him a lot. I think that's where my voice is at, and it's something that sounds very impressive. I think a lot of where I get my vocals from is soul bands like Sam & Dave - you know, black singers who can just really project. Then there are the Fifth Dimension and the number of things they go off on. When it's just them singing, you can tell. That's the point where they are able to just really cut loose. I like that a lot. I like the blues singers. Janis Joplin is incredible. So I think that's where I get Robert Plant. We have the same sort of bug. I fell into the same place he did, I think, especially being around guys so much like John Bonham, Jimmy Page. Yeah, it's pretty crazy how that worked.
In a short period of time you have a lot of energy surrounding your band. People are talking about you. They love you. What do you think of that?
Josh: Well, I think we love the people. It all depends where you're playing, whether it's a good experience or not, and performing at White's has been exceptional, absolutely. The acoustics in there are amazing. You know, we walked in and we are in this little wooden bar. You know you'd think there'd be a lot of echoing, but it just sounds fabulous. Everything in there is so simplistic, and it works, the sound and everything, so it's got a good vibe. Great people.
I guess you've covered this somewhat but if you could describe your music, what would you say? How would you describe it to me?
Jake: A good question. I don't know. It's a combination. Heavy blues, jazz, classical rock and it comes into folk, actually heavy folk, believe it or not. A combination of R&B, soul, and jazz mixed into it, a very heavy blues sound.
You've really gotten some recognition. Does it feel like it happened too fast?
Josh: No, it doesn't seem like we're there yet. I think we just push aimlessly in any direction we like and then really give it our all and see where we end up, you know. Yeah, we like to spread the musical love as a sort of people's Gospel. Spread that feeling.
Have you written many original songs?
Josh: We have. We have tons and tons of originals. It's getting over-logged, you know. We've got so much material we're waiting to just explode and we are ready for recording our material.
How many songs do you have ready, fully formed?
Jake: There are three originals out there now and those are okay, but again, we didn't just jam them. There are eight that we'd like to record for an upcoming album. It's been a selective process. We've got so many songs, we've picked eight and each one is different. The dynamics are different. We've developed some acoustic sounds now that are incorporated into different pieces.
Where have you recorded?
Josh: We recorded at Metro 37 in Detroit. Kevin Sharp is one of the producers down there.
Josh you're really a focal point as a lead singer, a lot of people are talking about you. When did you discover your voice?
Josh: My father was quite an influence. He is a lead singer and he plays the harmonica. He's a really great singer and I think that's where I learned that I could sing. After I started getting serious about singing, I'd pick things out and you start thinking how he's doing this or that and gradually figured it out. A lot of it is determination, and that's how I've come to where I'm at now. It's just dissecting all of those things. You so figure it out slowly and keep it in my memory tank. I think it does come naturally, for the most part.
Jake, I want to ask you about your guitar paying. What kind of guitar do you use and where did you learn your technique, your style, and could you describe it?
Jake: I use a Gibson SG and it's about eight years old. I got it a long while ago. My inspirations kind of fall way back into very early blues, just key roots and things like that, like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and Albert King because it's rudimentary stuff. I hear Willie Nelson, and I've learned to manipulate it and manipulate it and change it into things that you like to hear. I get a lot of my inspiration and technique from listening really old blues and folk tunes.
Let's go to the rhythm section. Sam is on bass and Stan pounds the skins. Sam, can you talk about your bass playing and how you get in the pocket?
Sam: I play a Thunder Jag bass and the sound is just phenomenal - the best bass out there. I really take my styles from pre-rock like James Jameson and that Motown scene, and then I just put all my favorite bass influences together and found a style. I love Jack Bruce.
Dan, tell me about your kit and your style and who inspired you?
Dan: Well, my kit is a pretty recent purchase, it is older, not vintage but it's older. It's a Pearl. Everything is Pearl except for the cymbals. I have Paiste cymbals because I like the sound. I took up the drums about two years ago when my parents bought me a set. I didn't have any lessons so it involved a lot of listening to music and copying the riffs and making them a natural component of my approach - now it just flows out. I like a lot of older jazz and harder, powerful rock. I like Mitch Mitchell from the Jimi Hendrix Experience. He's great. I copy a lot of his riffs. I like Buddy Rich and Ginger Baker. They all have their own unique influence on me. I take all that and make it my own only a bit different
I heard that the youngest band member is 14 and the oldest is 17. Is that correct?
Michael: Two 14s, two 17s. The rhythm section is 14 and the lead guitarist and singer are twin 17-year-olds.
Starting out young is very important. I think the zeitgeist is in your favor. What do you guys think?
Josh: A lot of that is thanks to the parents because I grew up listening to the music of my dad and it just went over and over and I got to know the music of the sixties. I didn't even really listen to modern songs until about the sixth grade and then it was like "Wow, there's a lot more room for experimenting and exploring with the older stuff.
None of us really knew what was going on in today's music until we got about into the later school years and went, "Wow, that's crap." (Laughter). We'd all listen to older stuff and that was all we'd heard and when we'd listen to the new songs we thought, "What the hell happened?"
We used to rehearse in this log cabin around December. This became one of the most important foundations of our music. We drove there to Yankee Springs and we'd rent a cabin and we'd have friends of the family and other family members and we'd all play music. Dad would do the Blues on the harmonica and that's where I learned all of that - singing the blues at the cabin. Everybody would have a guitar, keyboard and there'd be friends and we'd have just a giant music fest. I think gemutlichkeit (friendliness, peace of mind) would be one word we could use to describe that whole history in itself.
Have you signed with a management company?
Josh: We have Michael Edward Barbee who is one hell of a manager…
Barbee: Actually I have been doing some work with a group out of Detroit around the 2008-2010 time period. It was called the Reed & Dickinson band. Alto Reed was a member of Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. So it ended up that I'd work if they had any gigs that included merchandise. I got some contacts, and I reached out to B.B. Cunningham, which was Jerry Lee Lewis's bass player, Vince Knight - Jim McCarty's guitar tech down in Detroit. My ears were wide open. I just wanted to learn management. I wanted to be a manager for the artists. I'd learned a lot and I felt I could take a band, you know, and get them somewhere.
The boys just signed with North Star Media out of Detroit, a publishing deal, so that's a pretty big deal. You know we're only a week into that, so that's going to really get the music out there and get some licensing deals and everything else, so we're pretty excited about that.
Jake and Sam actually have gotten some attention from GHS strings up in Battle Creek, so they're working their way toward an endorsement with GHS.
Are there any last words before we end?
Josh: We're going to be doing a live radio show called Man Cave in Toledo. And it's supposed to be streamed to Internet radio also and broadcast locally in Toledo. It's Toledo with Jeff Graham. We'll be performing live, and there'll be some interviewing.
Now it's classic hits Toledo.com. It's streamed so people out here could get it, and there's an app for it was well. We're going to play two songs live so if you get the opportunity check it out if you want to hear some originals.


Working as Communications Officer at the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust since March 2018.
96% of us drink our tea from a teabag, but did you know, many of our favourite teabags contain plastic.
Britain is a nation of tea drinkers, with around 165 million cups drunk everyday! Around 96% of this consumption is from a teabag - but did you know, many of our most beloved brands teabags contain plastic!
Perhaps the most obvious of alternatives. Maybe not the first choice for a convenience-loving tea drinker like myself but I wanted to give it a try.
I bought mine from Imperial Teas of Lincoln on Steep Hill. I went for a classic English Breakfast tea, which at £5 for 100g is a pricey option but knowing I'm supporting local business is always a win, and it's a nice treat.
I also found a lovely gold tea strainer which I just had to pick up! (This can be my Reward for using tea leaves!).
The tea itself was great. A proper cuppa. Half a teaspoon makes a nice, strong brew so I think 100g should last me a while. You may also have noticed the plastic bag it came in, but this is no normal plastic bag!
After asking what the loose leaf came in (they don't mind you asking), Ben from Imperial Teas gave me a choice of a ready-made option in a fully recyclable plastic bag, or a measured amount in a new eco-plastic bag they're just rolling out.
This eco-plastic is plant-based and means you can pop it straight into you're compost bin at home. How great is that! The tea will save for around 6 months in these plastic bags, so I've transferred mine into an air-tight glass jar for saving.
Imperial Teas are also in the process of updating their cardboard containers to include a loyalty stamp, encouraging shoppers to bring back their old containers to re-use again, helping to reduce wastage. Great idea!
I would highly recommend popping in next time you're in town if you fancy a treat. The vast amount of choices may seem a little overwhelming but the friendly staff will help point you in the right direction.
After a little online research, I found lots of sites pointing me in the direction of Teapigs. They offer a wide variety of teas, and were also the first tea brand to be awarded the Plastic Free Trust Trade Mark in May this year.
Teapigs 'tea temples' are actually made from a mixture of corn starch and paper so they're 100% plastic-free and biodegradable.
Their containers are cardboard so are easily recyclable. Even the inner bags the teabags come in are plastic-free. They're made from a material called 'Natureflex' – a renewable wood pulp converted into airtight packaging.
As well as keeping your tea fresh, it's 100% compostable so you can pop it in your home compost bin.
What I did learn from their handy online guide however, is that although the 'tea-temples' themselves are plastic-free and biodegradable, they're not necessarily compostable.
The teabags use a bi-product of corn starch called 'Soilon', a bio-plastic which can only biodegrade under high temperatures. Teapigs advise you to pop them in with your food waste bin – something my local council currently don't provide. So although they're plastic-free, I won't be able to dispose of my Teapigs in an environmentally friendly way just yet, so I'm choosing to stick with loose leaf for now!
Again, a little digging online bought me to Aldi's 'Specially Selected' teas. These tend to be fruit teas in a similar looking teabag to the above Teapigs. There seemed to be a bit of controversy however as to whether these are biodegradable or not. But surely if they're plastic-free they should be biodegradable?
The teabag paper we use does contain a very minimum quantity of food safe wet strength resin [which is] in place to allow the paper fibres to bind together better...this is common practice with all teabag paper manufacturers globally.
So essentially, yes, their teabags do contain plastic, if even in the very smallest of amounts, which prevent them from being fully biodegradable.
They sound like they might be a nice starter-alternative to help cut down on plastic, but I'm going to try to avoid these teabags and stick with the plastic-free loose leaf option.
Can I get a guilt-free cup of tea?
I'll be sticking with loose leaf for now, as at least I know for sure they don't contain plastic at a consumer level.
I'll be working hard to find some suitable, everyday-alternatives that won't stretch the budget, and look out for plastic-free packaging.
I'll also be keeping an eye on bigger brands such as PG Tips and Yorkshire Tea, who are both currently in the process of trialing new plant-based alternatives hopefully launching later this year. Fingers crossed!
30 Days Wild might have come to a close, but I'll still be trying to #StayWild and cut down on plastic.
I've been speaking with recent plastic-reducer and Marine Specialist at Gibraltar Point, Vicki Bush.

Since the introduction of ARCH/GARCH methods have been widely examined. However, the role played by macroeconomics environment in volatility forecasting has been ignored. This paper investigates the behavior of Japanese stock market volatility with respect to a few macroeconomic variables including gold price, crude oil price and currency exchange rates (Yen/US$). A comparison study has also been carried out on the performance of GARCH models and Ad Hoc methods. This empirical study employs the daily data over 12 years. The result reviews that macroeconomic variables used in this study have no impact on the volatility of Japanese stock markets and the simplest GARCH (1,1) model yields the best result. Further comparison on the best performing model suggest that GJRGARCH (1,1) model is superior to GARCH (1,1) model in one-step ahead forecast.

Innovation is something that all companies should embrace, but very few do. It is understandable that they don't embrace it, because management is often fearful of the opinions of those hierarchically beneath them, and everybody is resistant to change. That said, without innovation, a company stands still and can no longer grow. The reality is also that even the largest companies, with a presence all over the globe, have installed innovation software nowadays, and they have had tremendous successes with it. As a result, smaller companies should take a leaf out of the book of the giants, and start to grow themselves. A great example of that is provided by Ford.

The Ford Example
Car manufacturers the world over have gone through significant changes as of late. New technology has advanced very rapidly and this means that both existing and upcoming companies are finding it increasingly difficult to stay ahead. At the same time, the playing field has been levelled, because startup companies have the same opportunities as huge giants to use technology to their advantage. And by taking the opportunity to uncover new ideas, they can ensure that they are always relevant.
Ford, meanwhile, is the company responsible for the invention of the assembly line, which was used on their Model T. Since its inception, Ford has been both innovative and engaging. For instance, during the Ford T model, everyone working on the assembly line was able to own a Ford! Their focus has always been, and continues to be, on being inventive. To do this, they have launched a range of internal activities. One of those is to ensure every employee can express their thoughts on issues relevant to the company as a whole.
The result of this is nothing short of fantastic. Various reports have shown that, in 2015 alone, some 5,500 employees of Ford submitted ideas. 2,200 of these were from first time investors. Since January 2015, over 4,000 first time inventors have been able to present ideas. Those numbers are huge! It does not mean that every idea was a good one, or that it was implemented. It does, however, mean that everybody, throughout the organization, has been able to contribute. And what this meant for Ford, was that they were able to effectively crowdfund across the entire knowledge of their employees. Every Ford employee, in other words, is seen as a potential inventor.
This level of employee engagement is rare, but more should strive towards achieving it. The idea management process that Ford employees has delivered tremendous results, which have, in turn, delivered increased profits. With engaged employees, the company has been able to meet all its Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) year on year, and has seen a massive return on investment on their innovation software.
It should come as no surprise that KPIs are met as a result of idea management. What is surprising is that so few companies besides Ford have truly embraced this, and implemented it into their own company.

English Channel Map, Facts, and Details
print this map
other bodies of water
Some 10,000 years ago as the last Ice Age melted away, new bodies of water formed including the English Channel and Irish Sea, Great Britain and Ireland were now islands and both would eventually benefit from that process.
The Roman Legions (40,000 strong) crossed the dangerous English Channel in 43 AD. Literally undefended, the Romans named this wild new province, Britannia, and for some 350 years they controlled and influenced it, until their own Empire collapsed upon itself in 410 AD.
Though many invasion attempts occurred via the channel over the centuries (some successful, some not) in modern times the English Channel has helped Britain and Ireland defend themselves from outside invaders, namely the German Army during World War II.
The English Channel is a part of the Atlantic Ocean, and it separates the island of Britain (part of the UK) from northern France and joins the North Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. It is today one of the busiest shipping lanes on the planet. It's approximately 350 miles long, and at its narrowest in the Strait of Dover. It's somewhat shallow, with an average depth of less than 50 meters between Dover and Calais.
Completed in 1994, the Channel Tunnel, a 31-mile long rail tunnel beneath the English Channel at the Straits of Dover, connects France and England

Tassajara Prep Public Hearing – Dublin Unites to Oppose Charter Petition Appeal
tags: Tassajara Prep, Tri-Valley Learning Corp
by James Morehead
Tassajara Prep Charter Petition Opponents at the Alameda County Office of Education
Dublin community members united today in opposition to the Tri-Valley Learning Corp.'s Tassajara Prep charter petition. Tri-Valley Learning Corp. was recently denied a charter petition by the Dublin Unified School District to open Tassajara Prep. Tri-Valley Learning Corp. appealed the local school board decision to the Alameda County Board of Education. Today's public hearing was part of the appeal process. A vote on the charter petition denial will take place on the morning of June 22 by the Alameda County Board of Education.
As was the case at the Dublin Unified School District public hearing, not a single Dublin parent spoke in support of the Tassajara Prep charter petition. Over 50 opponents of the charter petition took time off work to attend the public hearing. Only 3 representatives of Tri-Valley Learning Corp. attended the public hearing: Bill Batchelor, Dr. Jeff Watkins and Tim Hall (none of whom have children in Dublin public schools or have any direct experience with Dublin public education).
[UPDATE] On Tuesday June 22 the Alameda County Board of Education denied the appeal of the Tassajara Prep charter petition. Details available here. Tri-Valley Learning Corp. can now appeal to the State Board of Education.
Dublin High Seniors Present a Petition with 500 Signatures Opposing Tassajara Prep
Four student representatives from the Leadership Program at Dublin High School attended, armed with a petition signed by over 500 Dublin High students opposed to Tassajara Prep. Stanford-bound Dublin High Student Body President Ravali Reddy shared her views with the Board and Lan Tran, student representative to the Dublin Unified School District Board of Trustees, presented the petition. Alameda County Board of Education representatives (from left to right) President Jacki Fox Ruby, Superintendent Sheila Jordan and Trustee Area 7 Yvonne Cerrato accepted the student petition.
Both the charter petitioners (led by Livermore residents Bill Batchelor and Jeff Watkins) and charter opponents (led by DUSD Superintendent Dr. Stephen Hanke, Dublin High Principal Carol Shimizu and DUSD School Board President David Haubert) had 15 minutes for remarks before supporters and opponents were given an opportunity to speak. No Tassajara Prep supporters were present to speak. Because of the large number of opponents present, five opponents were selected to make 3-minute statements to the Alameda County Board of Education. The Alameda County Board of Education Trustees then proceeded to ask questions, primarily directed at the Tassajara Prep representatives.
The themes of the presenters were consistent with the Dublin Unified School District's Findings of Fact regarding the Tassajara Prep charter petition. A detailed review of the Tassajara Prep charter petition is available here. More information on the possible location of Tassajara Prep if ultimately approved is available here.
If the Tri-Valley Learning Corp. Tassajara Prep charter petition denial is supported by the Alameda County Board of Education, Tri-Valley Learning Corp. has the option of appealing the decision to the State Board of Education. The State Board of Education's decision is final.

The Indy Chamber has been reviewing IPS operations and said it will recommend big changes in final report.
A high-profile organization is recommending major changes to the way Indianapolis Public Schools operates.
The Indy Chamber, which has been conducting a review of the district's operations, spending and needs ahead of a request for a property tax increase, has identified dozens of potential efficiencies. Recommendations include everything from changes to transportation services to cuts to central office staff.
The Chamber is recommending that IPS make some dramatic changes in order to direct a larger share of its spending on those things that directly impact the classroom, like recruiting and retaining high-quality teachers and principals. According to the Chamber's analysis, a little less than half of the district's spending goes to the classroom. The other half of the budget goes toward things like transportation, facilities, debt services and administration.
Mike Brink, a representative from Faegre Baker Daniels who is working with the Chamber as a consultant on the IPS analysis, said they would not share specifics until the report is completed but cuts to central office will be part of those recommendations.
One specific suggestion that the Chamber has made public so far is that the district create a new position dedicated to finding more efficiencies and recommending cost-saving measures. The Chamber would also be willing to fund that position, Brink said.
The Chamber has said it will support a referendum on the November ballot, should its evaluation support one.
Superintendent Lewis Ferebee said he welcomes the outside feedback. The district will review the Chamber's report and recommendations, he said, but Ferebee stopped short of committing to adopting them.
"Those recommendations may not be easy and they may not be feasible or realistic," he said, "but we're grateful to have the expertise of the Chamber to come in and give us that additional layer of analysis."
Ferebee said the district has already made significant cuts to the central office in recent years and cautioned that decentralizing too many services could actually backfire and increase costs for schools.
Still, the district is looking to raise teacher pay in an effort to compete with neighboring districts and stabilize its workforce.
Increasing teacher salaries was one of IPS stated goals for its original referendum proposal, but the nearly $1 billion total – between both the operating referendum and a separate capital projects referendum – caused sticker shock for some in the community. IPS amended its plan to lessen the tax burden, but failed to generate the level of support it likely would have needed to get an increase passed by voters.
In March, the district tabled its referendum proposal planned for the May ballot. It announced a partnership with the Chamber, allowing the group to review its spending and assess its needs in hopes of drafting an amended referendum plan and a powerful ally in the push to get a tax increase passed in the November ballot.
IPS has already unveiled a pared down capital referendum — just $52 million, versus an original ask of $200 million. The new recommendation for the larger operating referendum will be made public next month.

A warning has been put into place by the Met Office this weekend as winds 'increase expected impacts to medium' - with the office saying the worst conditions will be during this afternoon (Saturday).
The warning on the MET Office website said southwesterly severe gales will affect much of northern England, north Wales, Northern Ireland, southern and central Scotland at times during Saturday and overnight into Sunday.
"Here gusts to around 70 mph are possible even at lower levels, with hills seeing even higher gusts.
The office warned of likelihood of travel disruption on roads with winds capable of bringing down trees and causing damage to buildings.
The MET office's Chief forecaster said: "By Saturday a very strong west to southwest airstream is expected to be in place across much of the UK, but will be particularly strong along, and to the south of, the trailing frontal zone. A wave running along this zone seems likely to supply a further "squeeze" in the Saturday afternoon/ evening period, and it is the extent of this "squeeze" which remains somewhat uncertain - enough perhaps to boost gusts by 10 mph or so.
A period of heavy rain will also affect much of the area.
Trees blocking roads have already been reported, with Louth Police (@LouthPolice) tweeting out a picture of the first one they have come across.

Randy Orton is a great father. He cares so much about his kids that he is willing to go all out to teach them some killer dance moves. We recently posted a video of Randy Orton teaching his son how to twerk which his wife captured and then posted. This was the talk of many fans and The New Day certainly noticed it as well.
While speaking to Sportskeeda, Big E addressed Randy Orton's twerking ability. The Viper has joined the New Day in the ring a couple of times to give a small preview of his twerking, but it was nothing compared to what his wife was able to record.
You have to be impressed with Randy Orton's multiple talents. Big E was very impressed, that's for sure. You can also check out a short sample that RKO gave the New Day while in Santiago a couple of years ago in the video below.

You are here: Home / News / Legal news / Penn Law Launch New Project on the Future of the Legal Profession
October 9, 2019 /in Legal news /by Lucy Watson
The University of Pennsylvania Law School's new Future of the Profession Initiative aims to position students and alumni for the legal profession of the future, while also helping improve access to justice.
Can a law school, with the help of alumni attorneys and entrepreneurs, figure out how best to train the next generation of lawyers and improve the profession as a whole?
The University of Pennsylvania Law School is banking that it can. The Philadelphia school has launched what it calls the Future of the Profession Initiative, which aims to pursue innovations not only in how new lawyers are produced, but how law is practiced and who it helps. Unveiled Tuesday, the initiative is debuting with a slate of programs that include an executive education academy for alumni who are five years out of school, a podcast centered on the changing profession, an innovation competition and a symposium in February that will bring leaders from across the profession together to discuss the future of law.
"Change in the legal field is accelerating as technology evolves, new entrants join the industry, the practice of law becomes more globalized, regulatory frameworks governing lawyers shift, and attorneys approach their careers differently," said Penn Law Dean Ted Ruger in an announcement of the initiative. "As a result, law school applicants, students and graduates are thinking in new ways about how they imagine their careers, underscoring the need for a solution that promotes innovation, thought leadership, and enhanced interdisciplinary education and engagement."
Defining the mission and scope of the initiative is an ongoing challenge for its founders, which includes Jennifer Leonard, the law school's chief innovation officer and the initiative's executive director. That's due in part to the fact that the initiative is a work in progress and its focus and programming will change over time. Some of its projects will prove successful, while some will fail—a reality that its leaders say they are comfortable with. But at its core, the initiative is intended to bring all of the law school's innovation efforts under one umbrella, tap into the university's larger innovation resources, and identify ways to help Penn Law students and alumni develop professionally throughout their entire career.
But the initiative has larger, profession-wide goals as well, namely improving access to justice through innovation. The focus isn't solely on technology, which helps differentiate Penn's program from some existing innovation centers at other law schools.
"This is designed to set us up for the next 50 years of the changes that we'll see in the future," Leonard said in an interview Monday. "That's why we named it what we did: We want it to be broad enough to be nimble and adapt because certainly the changes we see today will be different from the changes we'll see five, 10, and 15 years from now. This initiative will be structured in a way that allows us to adapt to those changing conditions."
The initiative will kick off with a number of defined projects, which will be added to and subtracted from depending on their levels of success, Leonard said. Among them is the Five-Year-Out-Academy, in which Penn alumni who graduated five years ago can return to campus for a free week of executive education, including instruction on legal project management, negotiation skills, well-being for lawyers, law firm finance, cross-cultural competency, leading teams, strategic decision-making and client-centered design.
The school will also host a symposium in February with a broad range of legal thought leaders to discuss the future of the legal profession and create an upper-level interdisciplinary seminar course called "Innovation in Legal Services: Design Thinking to Optimize Client Service." And the new Dean's Innovation Competition will offer awards to entrants who identify new ways to deliver client services and close the access to justice gap.
The initiative and the first wave of projects were conceived with the help of an advisory board drawn from Penn Law alumni with a broad array of legal experience. They include Legal Services Corp. president Jim Sandman; Pro Bono Net's Claudia Johnson; and Burford Capital managing director David Perla.
Perla said he wanted to be involved immediately, in part because the school's reputation for fostering entrepreneurship for the greater good means the initiative already has many campus resources to draw upon. And the makeup of the advisory board ensures that many different perspectives are represented, he said.
"They picked people who did all sorts of different things with their degrees, most of whom no longer practice law," he said. ""In some ways, we're asking, 'Can we make law better?' And that's really exciting to everyone."

Wake Up to #SomethingGood
#SomethingGood: Keller Couple Provides Free Photoshoots for Kids With Autism
Super heroes are made thanks to a camera, a green screen, costumes and some computer special effects.

Keller Couple Provides Free Photoshoots for Kids With Autism
A Keller couple is providing free photo shoots for families with children who have autism. (Published Wednesday, June 5, 2019)
A Keller couple is doing something good for families who have children with special needs.
Nicole and Scott Endersby own Endersby Photography and it's a place where super heroes are made. All thanks to a camera, a green screen, costumes and some computer special effects. It's all out of the kindness of their hearts. They provide the service for free for families with children with autism.
They know the road for those families isn't easy. They know this because they have lived it.
"We have three children, two of which have autism. And it was important for us to make sure that these kids and their siblings feel like superheroes," said Nicole. "It's a genuine gift from one special needs family to another."
The husband of a missing San Antonio, Texas woman now faces a charge of murder, arrested Saturday afternoon after authorities confirmed they'd found the remains of his wife, Andreen McDonald. The Bexar County Sheriff's Office arrested Andre McDonald, 40, just two days after authorities found a human skull and bones Thursday night.
They call the project #EndersbysHeroes where they transform not just the children with disabilities, but also their siblings into their favorite superheroes.
News of the Endersby's efforts spread around town and now, several business in North Texas are sponsoring their effort by helping to purchase costumes.
Beth Soverign's son Ethan has autism. Between his therapy and other treatments he may need, there hasn't been extra money for some time. She said she appreciated the generosity of the Endersby's.
Man Accused in Death of Former Councilwoman has DWI History
"Something extra like special needs super hero photos to be donated to us is something that means the world to us and to our kids," Soverign said. "Nobody can pay their bills on wishes and dreams, so for them to give this gift to us, it's the work of a wizard."
In June, the Endersby family is taking it a step further. They are inviting the families who have participated in the photo shoots to a day at the movies. A sensory-friendly showing of Toy Story 4 will air at The Keller MovieHouse & Eatery. Sensory-friendly theaters are theaters that are not too dark and the movie isn't played as loud. At that showing, the pictures of all the children they have taken shots of as movie posters lining the theater.

Kerry Katona makes police complaint over 'stalker'
POLICE are investigating a complaint from ex-pop star Kerry Katona that she was stalked by a woman she befriended on Facebook in Merseyside.
The former Atomic Kitten singer, from Warrington, raised the alarm when her online friend allegedly visited her mansion home in Wilmslow unannounced.
Katona, 29, was told by police investigating the matter to be more wary of privacy issues while using social networking websites such as Facebook.
A spokesman for Merseyside Police said: "We are investigating an allegation of harassment made against a woman from Greater Manchester. An officer has spoken to both parties involved. A further allegation of harassment made by the same complainant has since been made to Merseyside Police and the officer in charge is currently investigating."
It is understood Merseyside detectives are leading the inquiry as Katona was in the Merseyside area when she made the complaint.


I'm week 3 into my new role as a community midwife, and I'm beginning to get the hang of the 'new' me. With a new job comes lots of new experiences and a bit more paper work than I am use to. But my new job has come with something I'm still trying to get use to, being on call. Our on calls start from 5pm until 9am the next morning.
Last week I was on call 3 times. The first night I took my pager into the bathroom every time I needed a wee, it sat next to me staring at me as I prepared dinner, it even joined me to watch my number 1 programme Girls (I swear it laughed at all the appropriate parts). But I slept soundly (as did it) and woke feeling refreshed as it hadn't beeped once.
The second night was the same and by the third night I was feeling rather cocky that these on calls were easy peasy but at 2am it beeped. I say beep it's more alarming than that 'beep beep beep beep beep beep' and I bolted upright. My husband woke too and I slowly came round and realised that no it wasn't the smoke alarm, nor was it the alarm clock telling me it was 7:30, it was my pager. After hearing the exciting news that a home birth was imminent, I got dressed and quickly jumped in my car and drove to the woman's home to watch her give birth so peacefully and calmly in the pool. I was on such a high that I failed to sleep properly that day but my happiness continued as I watched Florence and The Machine belt out Cosmic Love to a audience of 20,000 adoring fans at the 02. Indeed the whole experience was cosmic.
I feel it's too early to say I'm LOVING my job, I can't believe I'm home by 5pm each day and it's so great to be able to take the girls to school and nursery. I think my poor husband is the only one suffering from the new change. Sharing a bed with me and the pager, I think it's fair to say there are now three people in our marriage.

Council approves development district downtown, discusses bicycle safety
Written by on May 13, 2015
Following a brief update on bicycle safety, the Silver City Town Council approved a new measure designed to spur economic development downtown without raising taxes.
The council's regular meeting began with a request from District 4 Councilor Guadalupe Cano for Police Chief Ed Reynolds to update the community on the laws governing cycling within town.
"Bicyclists are supposed to adhere to the rules of the road just like motor vehicles," Reynolds said. "In other words, you're supposed to be riding on the right side of the road, as traffic flows the same direction, you're supposed to be stopping at stop signs. It's imperative that everyone shares the road, and everybody obeys the rules."
Councilor Lynda Aiman-Smith of District 2 reiterated a request that drivers within the community use caution around cyclists
Aiman-Smith suggested the upcoming Mimbres Region Arts Council Blues and Bikes Festival would be a good time to practice road safety due to the expected number of people on bicycles and motorcycles.
The councilors unanimously approved a resolution to establish a Downtown Silver City Tax Increment Financing District. According to Charlie Deans of New Mexico MainStreet, TIF districts are authorized by state statute and exist in Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Las Vegas and Lovington.
The district encompasses some 440 parcels of land, in an area stretching from 14th Street south to Chihuahua Street, and is bordered by Hudson Street on the east and Cooper Street in the west.
Deans told the council the new TIF district would generate money for the town by directing the Grant County treasurer to set a baseline for property taxes paid to the town for the parcels in the district. If property levels within the district increase, those additional funds above the baseline would be placed into a distinct account specifically for redevelopment within the district.
"As property taxes just naturally increase, properties may get resold or they get reappraised by the assessor, that increment goes into a special fund," Deans said.
The arrangement would last 20 years, and the town could use the money within the fund for various redevelopment goals.
According to projections from the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at the University of New Mexico, after those two decades of incremental deposits the town would have more than $626,000 to spend on downtown projects. Silver City Mayor Mike Morones said that figure is likely conservative.
"I do like how modest this projection is, actually," Morones said. "If you look at year 20, it's saying that property values are only going to go up 10 percent, which is actually considerably below the historical average on real properties."
Deans said the TIF district has a number of benefits for the council, including the fact that councilors could approve the measure without requiring a petition process or election. In addition, he said, it's not a new tax, and relies solely on property taxes as assessed by Grant County. Furthermore, the funds — which are generated within the district itself — can only be spent for the district.
"You will decide how this fund is used within downtown and this district," Deans stressed.
He said this signals to developers that the community is dedicated to revitalizing the area, which encourages further private investment. That in turn would generate additional gross receipts taxes, the backbone of the municipality's revenues.
Morones, who sponsored the resolution, explained that he is in favor of the idea because it doesn't place any additional burden on residents.
"I like to use creative means of financing many of our important projects," he said, "and I truly believe we need to take care of downtown as one of the things that really separate us from our peers, making sure we don't feel like just your normal urban sprawl, interstate type town. It really gives visitors a reason to get off the interstate to come and visit us."
In other business, the council approved a resolution in support of an application for New Mexico Finance Authority funding to complete water system improvements to the Chihuahua Hill neighborhood. It is the first step in a process required to secure the funding, which the town has sought before but never secured.
In addition, the council approved a bid for a Solids Dewatering Facility, C and E Industrial Services, for $540,885.40, and the associated gross receipts tax.
Also during the meeting, Morones proclaimed Memorial Day weekend as "The 20th Anniversary of the Silver City Blues and Bikes Festival."
