If one figure has come to loom large surrounding the development of the Atlanta BeltLine, it's 5,600. That's the number of affordable housing units promised at the beginning of the ambitious revitalization of former railroad rights-of-way encircling the core of the city.
Atlanta BeltLine Partnership is the private nonprofit formed in 2005 to advance, and fundraise for, the BeltLine vision. In 2006, Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. was established to oversee the infrastructure proposal that includes transit, trails, parks, public art, economic development, environmental sustainability, historic preservation and affordable housing along the 22-mile corridor.
Atlanta BeltLine Inc., the agency responsible for enabling affordable housing development within Atlanta's BeltLine tax allocation district, now finds itself in significant transition under interim CEO Clyde Higgs. (This summer, Brian McGowan, who served as CEO for less than a year, announced he'd be leaving his post.) But the agency hopes to emerge with a renewed focus on affordable housing. As a first step, they released a final report from a working group including public, private, and nonprofit voices on how the agency can hit — and hopefully surpass — its goal of 5,600 affordable units.
"From a high-level perspective, this is absolutely the focus for the organization," says Higgs. The working group kicked off roughly six months ago with a diverse membership including Invest Atlanta, the city's economic development authority; real estate firm Columbia Residential; and Wells Fargo.
"We wanted to look at how our organization could be more nimble in how it could respond to opportunities," Higgs says.
One thing the report is quick to point out: that Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. "is neither a housing provider nor a development authority." Moving forward, it notes, the agency will rely on "strategic partners" to hit its goal of 5,600 affordable units.
Partnerships will be necessary for funding new housing, the report states. The Atlanta BeltLine Redevelopment Plan initially projected that funding through seven bond issuances from a tax allocation district set up in 2005 would raise $240 million for affordable housing by 2030. Also commonly known as tax increment financing in other cities, Atlanta's tax allocation districts capture additional property tax revenues generated as a result of rising property values related to planned development projects, such as the BeltLine. The captured revenues are typically used to repay bonds issued to raise capital for projects within the tax allocation district.
Unfortunately for the BeltLine, the economy tanked a few years after the creation of its tax allocation district, and to date, only two bonds have been issued, raising $25 million — just 10.4 percent of the anticipated affordable housing funding.
Yet another challenge is diminished federal, state and city funding, alongside rising construction and land costs. "The effect of these two realities means affordable housing development requires more subsidy per unit than originally projected a decade ago in the Redevelopment Plan," says the report.
While the city also set up an affordable housing trust fund for the BeltLine, the money can only be spent within the tax allocation district. Atlanta BeltLine Inc. also established a "planning area," including all land within one-half mile on either side of the BeltLine, where the agency will rely on outside funding. The BeltLine tax allocation district covers only parts of the planning area.
One key recommendation from the working group is to expand the affordable housing count to include all units in the tax allocation district as well as the planning area, regardless of funding source. Counting units in both areas was a controversial move under former BeltLine CEO Paul Morris, who resigned in the wake of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigation. But the report envisions that in widening the development scope and spearheading a new capital strategy that better leverages public, private and philanthropic funds, the agency can ultimately surpass 5,600 units.
There's a belief within Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. that the agency must also do a better job in explaining the nuance of the tax allocation district to the public, and how it informs where the agency can pursue housing development.
The report recommends the agency better chart its progress to the public, as well as create a public template for periodic reporting in regards to affordable housing goals. Better communication, they hope, will also translate to greater advocacy for increased funding.
"We want to make sure people are aware we need funding, and quite frankly a lot of that pressure has to come from the community," says Twanna Harris, also appointed this year to the new position of vice president of brand, content and strategic initiatives.
Beyond engaging the community and local politicians for funding, Atlanta BeltLine Inc. intends to focus its attention on existing residents at risk of displacement. The report identifies the importance of helping families within 30 to 60 percent of the area median to remain within the BeltLine planning area.
According to Vaughn, Atlanta BeltLine Inc. is considering spearheading a displacement study and setting up a displacement hotline. "There needs be some mechanism so we can understand, before someone moves, the economic pressures that may cause that," he says.
Vaughn adds that the agency is reaching out to neighborhood associations to increase communication about property values surrounding the BeltLine.
To date, Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. and its partners have either developed or preserved 1,600 units within the tax allocation district and 1,042 units within the broader planning area. The report outlines that specifically within the tax allocation district, the agency plans to create or preserve 250 units annually through 2020, 320 units annually between 2021 and 2025, and 380 units annually between 2026 and 2030 to hit its 5,600-unit goal.
Such a goal now holds significant weight, given past controversy. But the new team feels optimistic after making affordable housing a clear priority.

This is Me Asia
Focus Area | Ensuring Employee Wellbeing
Why This is Me?
Ensuring employee wellbeing is one of the four pillars of Community Business' work, and since 2017 we have been pioneering the discussion in Asia on mental health – facilitated by the launch of indepth research: Embracing Mental Health in the Workplace in Asia. Since 2019, Community Business has been partnering with the Lord Mayor's Appeal in the UK to promote the This is Me storytelling campaign in India. To date, 23 companies in India have registered their interest in the programme.
This is Me centres on the sharing of stories and lived experiences of disability and mental health as a way to challenge the stigma and open up conversations about these sensitive subjects in the workplace. An initiative first pioneered by Barclays in the UK in 2014 and now led by The Lord Mayor's Appeal in London.
With increased readiness to proactively address mental health in the workplace in Asia – particularly in the wake of COVID-19, Community Business is working in partnership with Lord Mayor's Appeal and with the Strategic Sponsorship of Bloomberg to build momentum in the region and extend the promotion of the This is Me storytelling programme to other markets in Asia.
Research shows that storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to bring about cultural and behavioural change. Attitudes, knowledge and behaviour towards people with disabilities, including those with mental health problems are more likely to improve if people are given the opportunity to learn from someone who has a personal experience to share. At the same time, seeing other people share their stories, gives people encouragement to tell their own, empowering employees to be more honest with each other and fostering a more open and supportive culture that benefits all.
We are excited to be leading this campaign in collaboration with Bloomberg as the Founding Partner of the This is Me Asia Steering Group.
Why a Steering Group?
The key role of this group is to engage key local stakeholders, including mental health organisations and experts across the region, to raise awareness of and drive broader participation by the business sector in the This is Me Asia storytelling programme.
Who Makes Up the Steering Group?
The Steering Group will consist of 12-15 representatives from the corporate and NGO sector selected based on their individual skills, knowledge and experience they bring to the group.

Today marked our first year of actually getting to church on this beautiful feast day. Hannah and I decorated a candle with blue ribbon, blue flowers and white turtle doves. Alex had a "manly" candle with an inscribed cross on it's pristine white wax. Both candles were promptly dropped in the dirty gravel on our way to church. Yet I felt peace. It's always better to have dirty Holy candles & noisy children in front of a friendly priest for the special Candlessmass blessing on February 2, than to have no children and pristine Holy Candles!
This afternoon we will have friends over to celebrate Mrs. Alice Gunther's amazing "Candlemass Tea. (By the way, I can think of no greater tribute to Mrs. Gunther's engaging "how to extend Christian hospitality" tips on her website and recent book "Haystack full of Needles" than to give the example of my own transformation. Before finding Cottage Blessings, you could not have found a more retiring shy violet when it came to playing the hostess. Jon and I moved into this apartment in 2005 with two kids ages 2 and 1. We didn't even have our parents over to eat! If my parents were hungry when they stopped by, I took them to the Italian restaurant across the street.
Alice made me realize that your apartment is never too small, your kids are never too noisy, and you are never too "unprepared" to make use of your little domestic church to the wider community. Her engaging teas practically BEG to be shared with other families. She also develops an inviting long list of Catholic 'club' ideas for joint home-schooling projects to encourage "socialization."
In 2007, I started with a teeny St. Nicholas Party with Maria, from Ordinary Time and her delightful clan. In the past two weeks in 2009, I hosted a coffee for our parish priest, a meatloaf dinner for an African immigrant, and a Candlemass party for young nine kids. The virtue of Christian hospitality is an underused treasure today. Visit Ms. Gunther's site and get some tips from a Catholic Master.

Basic Tenets of Faith
What are the conditions for the acceptance of the Shahadah statement?
What does uttering the Shahadah statement pertain to?
What is the minimum knowledge of the Shahada statement a person needs to know when ready to utter it?
The Shahadah statement is saying in Arabic: "Laa ilaaha ill-Allah Muhammadun Rasool-Allah" (There is no god except Allah, and Prophet Muhammad is the Servant and Messenger of Allah).
There are a number of conditions attached to the Shahadah statement that reflect a true and genuine understanding of such a statement.
The conditions attached to the statement are as follows:
1. Knowledge
This means knowing the meaning of the Shahaadah, both the negation (There is no god) and the affirmation (except Allaah), knowledge as opposed to ignorance of this.
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"So know (O Muhammad) that Laa ilaaha ill -Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)…" [Muhammad 47:19]
2. Certainty
The person who says the Shahadah is absolutely certain about the meaning of these words because faith does not count unless it is based on certain knowledge, not on knowledge based on speculation, let alone doubt.
"Only those are the believers who have believed in Allah and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and their lives for the cause of Allah. Those! They are the truthful" [al-Hujuraat 49:15]
This means that one accepts with one's heart and with one's words.
"Save the chosen true believers and slaves of Allah…" [al-Saaffaat 37:40-43]
4. Submission
This means submitting to what is implied by the Shahadah statement, as opposed to ignoring or neglecting it.
"And whosoever submits his face (himself) to Allah, while he is a Muhsin (good-doer, i.e. performs good deeds totally for Allah's sake without any show-off or to gain praise or fame and does them in accordance with the Sunnah of Allah's Messenger Muhammad), then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold [Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)]. And to Allaah return all matters for decision" [Luqmaan 31:22]
5. Truthfulness
This means saying it from the heart, where the heart agrees with the words being uttered, as opposed to lying or faking uttering the statement for worldly gain.
"Alif Laam Meem, Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: 'We believe,' and will not be tested? And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allah will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars, (although Allah knows all that before putting them to test)… [al-'Ankaboot 29:1-3]
6. Sincerity
This means purity of action with a sound intention, free from any contamination of shirk(associating anything else with Allah).
"Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only"
[al-Zumar 39:3]
7. Love
This means love for this statement and for what it implies, and its people, those who act upon it and adhere to its conditions; and hatred of whatever goes against it. The sign that a person loves his Lord is that he gives priority to what Allah loves even if it goes against his own desires.
"And of mankind are some who take (for worship) others besides Allah as rivals (to Allah). They love them as they love Allah. But those who believe, love Allah more (than anything else)." [al-Baqarah 2:165]
Rejection of all things that are worshipped instead of Allah.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever says Laa ilaaha ill-Allah and rejects everything that is worshipped instead of Allah, his property and his blood will be sacred [i.e., it is forbidden to seize his property or shed his blood] and his reckoning will be with Allah." (Narrated by Muslim).

n Norse mythology, Loki is a god o jötunn (or both). Loki is the son of Fárbauti and Laufey, and the brother of Helblindi and Býleistr. por the jötunn Angrboða, Loki is the father of Hel, the lobo Fenrir, and the world serpent Jörmungandr. por his wife Sigyn, Loki is the father of Nari o Narfi. And with the stallion Svaðilfari as the father, Loki gave birth—in the form of a mare—to the eight-legged horse Sleipnir. In addition, Loki is referred to as the father of Váli in the Prose Edda.
Loki's relation with the gods varies por source. Loki sometimes assists the gods and sometimes causes problems for them. Loki is a shape shifter and in separate incidents he appears in the form of a salmon, mare, seal, a fly, and possibly an elderly woman. Loki's positive relations with the gods end with his role in engineering the death of the god Baldr. Loki is eventually bound por the gods with the entrails of one of his sons.
In both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, the goddess Skaði is responsible for placing a serpent above him while he is bound. The serpent drips venom from above him that Sigyn collects into a bowl. However, she must empty the bowl when it is full, and the venom that drips in the mean time causes Loki to writhe in pain, thereby causing earthquakes. With the onset of Ragnarök, Loki is foretold to slip free from his bonds and to fight against the gods among the forces of the jötnar, at which time he will encounter the god Heimdallr and the two will slay each other.
Loki is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources; the Prose Edda and Heimskringla, written in the 13th century por Snorri Sturluson; the Norwegian Rune Poem, in the poesía of skalds, and in Scandinavian folklore. Loki may be depicted on the Snaptun Stone, the Kirkby Stephen Stone, and the Gosforth Cross. Loki's origins and role in Norse mythology have been much debated por scholars.
Greatly done! But i'm not like that at all.

Book Review: Present Tense Machine by Gunnhild Øyehaug (Contemporary)
Title: Present Tense Machine
Author: Gunnhild Øyehaug
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Format: eBook - EPUB
Source: ARC via NetGalley
On an ordinary day in Bergen, Norway, in the late 1990s, Anna is reading in the garden while her two-year-old daughter, Laura, plays on her tricycle. Then, in one startling moment, Anna misreads a word, an alternate universe opens up, and Laura disappears. Twenty years or so later, life has gone on as if nothing happened, but in each of the women's lives, something is not quite right.
Both Anna and Laura continue to exist, but they are invisible to each other and forgotten in each other's worlds. Both are writers and amateur pianists. They are married; Anna had two more children after Laura disappeared, and Laura is expecting a child of her own. They worry about their families, their jobs, the climate—and whether this reality is all there is.
In the exquisite, wistful, slyly profound Present Tense Machine, Gunnhild Øyehaug—called "one of the most exciting writers working today" by the bestselling author Jenny Offill—delivers another dazzling renovation of what fiction can do: a testament to the fact that language shapes the world.
Present Tense Machine is a book that is, in many ways, hard to review. Its premise was intriguing, and I loved the idea that language could have the effect of creating alternate realities. However, I always felt a little disconnected from the characters and their lives as I was reading, due to the style of the narration, and perhaps that was intentional on the part of author, to keep the reader in a sense of unreality and disconnection similar to that of the characters, but it didn't quite work for me personally. Overall, I would say that, while I appreciated what the author set out to achieve with this book, its style didn't draw me in, and I think it will be one of those texts that some readers will take to while others struggle with it. I am giving it 3.5 stars. It was certainly interesting on several levels, but it's not a book I see myself wanting to reread in the future as it never touched me deeply.
I received this book as a free eBook ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.


Owen is childless in his 30s and the relevant line continues the theme from "I Am Not Afraid".
The music video for "The Riverbed" is directed by Eva Michon and stars Jim Pallett, Meredith Thomas, Ryan Poole, Ashton Tierney, Josh Weber, Owen Pallett, Evan Williams. It was released on February 28, 2014.
The concept for the video comes from Owen's fear that, when he is old, his music will provide him with the same financial situation that it does now, which is less stable than a regular job. His uncle Jim, who plays the main character, is in that type of situation as an actor in Los Angeles who rides the subway. [source] Owen himself plays one of the jerks in the background.

Why are we so hated in the Middle East?What did we do to them?
We are trying to dictate to them and they don't like it anymore that if they were doing the same thing to us.
Let's put it this way, in just Iraq alone and since 2003 over 500,000 innocent civilians would quite possibly still be alive today if it wasn't for our blundering missteps!!!
Exploited their resources and fleeced them by selling them weapons systems they did not need. Then went to war with them.
ProfGene.Togolot
We made a deal with Saudi Arabia back in the 50's to pump oil for them and in return we had cheap gas in America for many years. The worst things we did there was to constantly interfere militarily beginning with our sending forces to Lebanon under the Reagan administration then the two Iraq wars, then the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. And then we got into the war in Syria. Going back to the 50's we helped install the Shah in Iran which is why the Iranians regimes hate us so much though many of the people do not hate us. Bin Laden hated us because we had troops in Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf war and he wanted to be the one to guard the holy sites of Mecca and Medina with his army from the war against Russia in Afghanistan known as the Muja Hadeem or the Children of God but the Saudis rejected his offer so he eventually planned the 9/11 attack to get even with us. The leaders of ISIS had spent time in our prisons in Iraq and planed the Islamic State while they were our prisoners.
One reason for the hatred of the US in the Middle East is American foreign policy. The US has a long history of supporting dictators even though the people want them gone. The US also has a history of ousting governments that, in the US' eyes enact policies that are not favorable to US interests. Look up the overthrow of the Iranian government in the early 50's and the installation of the shah. You could also look at the US invasion of Iraq in the early 2000's. Saddam was no threat to the US. Then there is using the Middle East as a battleground in a proxy war with Russia and the former USSR. A very recent example is Trump's betrayal of the Kurds who were at the forefront in the fight against ISIS. Look at the current ban on countries which are predominantly Muslim.
You could also look at the exploitation of resources such as oil. Then there is the US taking sides without any real understanding of the issues.
Further to the good answer below, the West is severely disliked for the continued support of the state of Isreal in a place that used to be called Palestine, where the residents of that place were ejected to live in camps to make way for settlers from other lands. Many jewish people went to live there after WW2 because it says in the bible that god gave them that land and many christians supported that plan which left the muslim residents displaced and a bit cross.

It says in the bible, that God cast the Jews out of Palestine therefore-after to wander the world.
They left Europa because they didn't want to help with the rebuilding after ww2. Life was much sweeter in Palestine than in war torn Europa. Plenty of American $
The history of past Christian vs Muslim conflicts/wars and strong support of Israel in modern times.
Apart from the wars, supplying them weapons to beat themselves up, playing side against side, exploiting resources?
I have no idea. Could just be a cultural thing!
They were happy with their camels and flies until we dragged them into the modern world.

It's very simple. They are Muslims and hate all non-believers. We do not believe in their religion.
How awesome would it be if Trump held a rally during a Democrat debate?
Why do people think anyone can get mental illness?
When the next Democrat President gets the economy roaring like Obama, are Republicans going to allow him to get away with impeachable crimes?
What are the changes Putin is bringing to the Constitution of Russia?
Why are Trumpkins mad at Democrats for impeachment? They are just trying to MAGA like Trump wants us to do?

How much student loan debt are you carrying? If you're carrying a big load of student loan debt and can't afford your payments, you do have options.
A deferment won't do anything to clear your student loan debt but it would give you a timeout during which you would not have to make payments. If your loan was subsidized, you would not accrue any interest during deferment. Unfortunately, if your loan was not subsidized, interest will continue to accrue. It's also important to understand that any interest not paid during a deferment is "capitalized," which means it will be added to your balance and you will eventually pay interest on it.
There are several ways you could qualify for a deferment. You could go on to grad school or a career school, be unemployed, suffer on economic hardship (such as joining the Peace Corps) or join the military. Click here for a complete explanation of student loan deferment eligibilities.
If you're not eligible for a deferment, you might be able to get forbearance. This would allow you to skip payments for up to a year. However, interest will accrue on both unsubsidized and subsidized loans and will be capitalized. To be eligible for forbearance, you must be ill or be able to show financial hardship. There are also mandatory forbearances you could apply for if you are doing a dental or medical internship, serving in a national service position or performing a teaching service (click here to read more about forbearance eligibilities).
An Income-Based Repayment is one where, if you qualify, your monthly payments would be capped at 15% of your discretionary income. If you're a recent graduate there is the new Pay As You Earn (PAYE) program, which caps payments at 10% of discretionary income. If you're unemployed your payments could be as low as zero dollars. Plus, after 10, 20 or 25 years, your balances may be forgiven. With an IBR, if you have a subsidized loan, the government will pay up to three consecutive years of interest that is accrued but not repaid. Conversely, if your loan was unsubsidized interest will accrue.
This program pegs monthly payments to your income, family size and the amount of debt you owe. If you have a remaining balance after 25 years, it will be forgiven.
Forbearance or deferment can be either a blessing or a curse. It may feel like a blessing if you can't make your payments. But either of these could end up being a curse. While either could mean a short-term reprieve they provide no long-term relief. In fact, one person recently described forbearance and deferment as if you were putting a Band-Aid on a stab wound.
You could file for a chapter 7 bankruptcy and get most of your unsecured debts dismissed. But not even a bankruptcy will erase student loan debt. It is one of several types of debts that can't be erased by a bankruptcy that includes child support and alimony, back taxes and loans obtained through fraud.
We can't help with student loan debts but may be able to help by settling your other unsecured debts – such as credit card debts, personal lines of credit and medical bills – which would free up money you could use to pay on your student loan debt. Contact us today to learn more about debt settlement and whether or not this could work for you.

Champion of students back to set agenda
Treasury adviser and former NUS leader heads new National Student Forum. Rebecca Attwood reports.
By Rebecca Attwood
It has been some 20 years since Maeve Sherlock was president of the National Union of Students, but no one could accuse her of being out of touch when it comes to understanding what it means to be a student in the 21st century.
Two decades on, the newly appointed chair of the National Student Forum is back at university, studying for a PhD on the interface between faith and the state in modern Britain, and tutoring at Durham University.
And the years between have seen her fight for the educational needs of refugees as chief executive of the Refugee Council, and of single-parent families as head of the charity One Parent Families. She has also advised international students as director of UKCosa, taken a masters degree, and was a distance learner with The Open University.
So when she was approached by the Government about chairing the NSF, she believed could add something to the process.
Ministers have promised that the forum, whose creation was announced in October, will "have teeth." It will set its own agenda and will call the Government to account on issues of concern to students, producing an annual report to which ministers will respond.
"I've had lots of different perspectives on higher education and on being a student," said Ms Sherlock, 47. "I hope I can help the forum's voice to be heard, and for it be something that can influence ministers."
She is also keen to hear diverse viewpoints.
"I'm quite nosy and I'm keen to know how students from all different backgrounds feel how higher education has been for them."
Ms Sherlock began her degree in sociology at the University of Liverpool in 1981 before becoming NUS president. She later became director of UKCosa (now UKCisa, the UK Council for International Student Affairs), in a period when overseas student numbers were rising rapidly.
Before heading the Refugee Council, a role she held until 2006, Ms Sherlock advised the Treasury on issues including child poverty, labour markets and the third sector.
Returning to higher education, she has noticed a change in students' attitudes towards their study.
"The biggest difference is that universities are much bigger. The pressure is much greater than it was in my day, with almost half of young people going to university, and the financial pressure.
"At Durham, students work incredibly hard but also do lots of other things, such as sport - they are Renaissance young men and women. My worry would be that they'd have been driven just academically but they seem to be much more rounded than that."
As an undergraduate, Ms Sherlock recalls, she did not worry too much about getting a good degree.
"I certainly wasn't anything like as focused or driven. The very fact that you'd got there meant you already had a leg-up - now it is much more competitive. The major thing was whether you could get in. Now it is much more democratic."
Although she is keen not to pre-empt the outcomes of the forum's future discussions, she expects, unsurprisingly, that it will examine whether the system of fees and loans is a barrier to participation.
As chair, she will help the forum - which will be made up of student representatives of the NUS, the National Postgraduate Committee, The Open University Students' Association, the Mature Students Union, Skill and the British Council - to keep abreast of the issues and pick up on the ones that most matter.
Feeding into this will be the outcomes of a series of "student juries", being held in Manchester, London, Bristol and Sheffield over the next few weeks.
John Denham, the Universities Secretary, described Ms Sherlock as someone who would "have the confidence of students".
"The Government believes that the views of students should have a real influence on higher education policy. We need to hear their views so that we can help improve the university experience for them and for future learners," he said.

Our business is founded on water and the water cycle - it's the most basic and vital of our natural resources.
This is why we're passionate about supporting your health and wellbeing, encouraging growth and prosperity in our region and helping to future-proof it against the challenges of climate change and a growing population.
We borrow water from the environment, store and treat it to world-class standards so it's safe to drink and then supply it to 4.3 million of you in towns and villages from Grimsby in the north east of our region to Milton Keynes in the south-west.
Our drinking water is among the best on the planet. In the last five years we've invested £100 million in drinking water quality, hitting some of the most stringent targets in the world. We focus on quality across our operations, and are the only company in our industry to achieve ISO standards for excellence in quality, environment and health and safety.
About a billion litres of used water is flushed and poured into our sewers each day. It's then delivered via 76,355 kilometres of pipes to over 1,000 water recycling works, where with the help of a few billion friendly bacteria and micro-organisms, we clean it up before passing it back to nature. Our rivers are cleaner than they've been for decades.
We treat and make safe the organic solids – sludge – which farmers use as a soil conditioner.
There's a growing role for us too in our region's wider well-being as millions of visitors annually enjoy the open spaces, outdoor pursuits and wildlife habitats in our water parks and reservoirs.
We also play a leading and vital role in protecting our region's biodiversity, protecting not only the health of people, but the environment where we all live and work.

"It is likely that their crime scene investigation and underwater search teams will be there for a while.
BREAKING NEWS: Body found in sewage works at Doncaster college
"We cannot give any further information at this time.
"South Yorkshire Police are taking the lead on this."
A spokesman for Yorkshire Water said: "The body was found at our High Melton Waste Water Treatment Works which is located in the grounds of Doncaster College.They added: "We are sad to learn of the discovery of a body at our sewage plant. We are doing everything we can to support the police with their ongoing investigations."
A police spokesman said: "Police were called following reports from workmen of a discovery of what appears to be a body.
"The dark and cold conditions prevented officers from accessing the body yesterday and so the scene was guarded overnight.

Please keep checking this page for updates.


So long my old friend.
It's far too soon to end.
or anything to remind me?
Before you blink years have gone by.
We have changed and grown apart.
when we pick up back at the start.
but life is quick at moving on.
sometimes forget that you're gone.


Here is a great list of writing tools for all writerly people.
Thanks for sharing this, Michelle. I may have missed it otherwise. There are some great programs there to try. I wasn't aware of any of them. I think Wordcounter sounds useful, but Grammarly might be a bit scary!
I've tried Grammerly. It is a great product, but as with any editing tool, you have to be careful with it's suggestions. They might not fit the context of your writing. I had to disable it, because it doesn't work well with MS Office Professional 2010. My office programs were slowed noticeably, and often crashed. I am sure they will eventually get it up to speed.
Thank you for those additional cautions. I'll keep them in mind. I don't think I'll try that one – not until it's improved anyway.

HQ Trivia Doesn't Always Pay Players Their Winnings And Won't Say Why
Gita Jackson
Screenshot: HQ Trivia
For months, players in HQ Trivia, a trivia app that offers cash prizes, say they have been having issues getting their money.
HQ Trivia is basically Bar Trivia: The App. Twice a day, every day, there's a live trivia show, hosted on the app, that has a pool of cash that goes out to the winners. HQ Trivia players also have to deal with a rising epidemic of cheating, with users joining Discord servers to discuss answers with other players, or even writing bots that will pick the correct answers. The prevalence of cheating first became clear last March when one of the final players in a $25,000 "winner takes all" game was booted for cheating.
Cheating isn't the only rampant problem in HQ, though. Since at least October of last year, players have been having problems cashing out their winnings. HQ allows you to cash out your winnings to PayPal. There used to be a $20 limit, but that was removed early last year, meaning theoretically players can cash out at any time. A lot of players have been saying that their cash out button is still grayed out, meaning they can't tap it and receive their winnings.
Correction - 2:07pm: A previous version of this article said that the $20 limit was still in place.
Since August of last year, multiple players have reached out to Kotaku to inform us of this problem, after having tried and failed to get HQ Trivia's attention. Some of these players say they were able to receive their winnings after a couple of days, but they still had to wait to cash out. Other players still haven't been able to cash out at all. All of the players that told Kotaku they reached out to HQ about the problem said that they did not receive a response from the company.
One player who has won $150 from HQ and hasn't been able to cash out since October told Kotaku that, since then, they've stopped playing HQ.
"I don't care to play HQ anymore since the experience of being unable to cash out is so frustrating," they wrote via Twitter DM. "It's also frustrating that they decide someone is ineligible to win AFTER they have divided up the money, so a lot of the money from the prize pot does not end up going to anyone."
Fans have speculated that this bug may be arising because of players getting falsely flagged as cheaters. HQ's "Official Contest Rules" specify that "entrants may not communicate with, work with, or otherwise benefit from more than 25 other persons while entering a Contest if the communications between the entrant and those persons is facilitated by any technological means other than those explicitly provided by Sponsor." Basically, if you're in a Discord server during a game, you might be flagged as a cheater, and will be unable to cash out. A representative from HQ Trivia told Kotaku that "HQ reviews all cashout requests for eligibility. The average cashout time is less than one day."
HQ appears steadfast in their rules, which probably do prevent cheaters from fraudulently winning money. Unfortunately, it also means that a lot of players are left out in the cold.
Tretch
For the longest time, I saw the complaints and thought "well, they're probably violating the ToS somehow" and was happy with my $350 I'd managed to cash out over the course of the year. Then, I had an unbelievably lucky week and won something like 5 out of 7 games, building up a balance of ~$75 and taking the top spot on the weekly leaderboard, of which I was very proud.
Then, one morning, as I logged in to check how far I had fallen down the leaderboard, I found that my balance had been reset to zero (they obviously couldn't touch the $350 that was in my PayPal already). That was in the second week of November. Since then, I've won another $27 that it won't let me cash out.
I've created support tickets, gone through the @hqtriviahelp DM rigmarole numerous times, and basically tried to contact them in every way I could without making myself a massive pest. I have never received any response. I'm left twisting in the wind, assuming that I've been flagged as a cheater, and left with no recourse to somehow prove the negative.
I know, "poor me and my only $350" when most people are happy to get a couple bucks out of the game at all, but I'm now out over $100 legitimately won dollars. I keep playing in the hopes that someday they'll at least restore my cashout abilities, but I've given up on those $75 from November, and what was one of my favorite nightly rituals is now basically ruined. It's a real shame that they can't even answer the messages, even with their reduced player base.
