The end of Brangelina was one of a string of events from last year that left everyone in Hollywood feeling off kilter. And now Bennifer have officially filed for divorce too. Bennifer can rest easy. Since 1970, all divorces in California have been no-fault divorces, meaning that the spouse asking for a divorce does not have to prove that the other spouse did something wrong.
The respondent has committed adultery and the petitioner cannot reasonably be expected to live with the respondent.
The respondent has deserted the petitioner for a continuous period of at least two years.
The parties have lived apart for two years and the respondent agrees to the divorce proceedings.
The parties have lived apart for five years (whether or not the respondent agrees to the divorce proceedings).
Many petitioners file for divorce on the basis of the respondent spouse's unreasonable behaviour. For those itching to divorce their spouse, it's the only fact (other than adultery) where a divorce can be sought immediately, without waiting for a period of at least two years.
In order to rely upon the fact of unreasonable behaviour, the petitioner has to lay blame at the foot of the respondent. Family lawyers have to draft divorce petitions based on unreasonable behaviour in such a way that the judge reviewing the petition is satisfied that the marriage has broken down, but tensions between the parties are not further inflamed by the content of the petition. The difficulties in this balancing exercise are illustrated by the recent case of Owens v Owens  EWCA Civ 182.
Mrs Owens petitioned for divorce on the basis that Mr Owens had behaved in such a way that she could not reasonably be expected to live with him. Mrs Owens pleaded 27 allegations of unreasonable behaviour in total. Her pleadings included allegations that Mr Owens had prioritised his work over his home life, and did not provide Mrs Owens with love, attention or affection. She also referred to three separate incidents in which the parties had argued in public. Many family lawyers would regard Mrs Owens' allegations as fairly common complaints of unreasonable behaviour, often seen pleaded in divorce petitions. If Mrs Owens' divorce proceedings had been undefended, it is highly likely that her pleadings would have sufficed.
However, Mr Owens took the relatively unusual step of defending the divorce proceedings. The case was heard by HHJ Tolson QC on 15 January 2016. HHJ Tolson QC considered a sample of Mrs Owens' allegations and determined that Mr Owens had not behaved in such a way that Mrs Owens could not reasonably be expected to live with him. HHJ Tolson QC said that "this case might have found favour if I had been satisfied that the incidents were examples of a consistent and persistent course of conduct". He described Mr Owens as "somewhat old-school" and Mrs Owens as "more sensitive than most wives". Unsurprisingly, the judgment was met with incredulity by both the press and the wider public.
Mrs Owens appealed on the basis that HHJ Tolson QC adopted a flawed process. She also raised arguments in relation to Articles 8 and 12 of the European Convention of Human Rights (which relate to the right to respect for private and family life and the right to marry).
The Court of Appeal determined that the process adopted by HHJ Tolson QC was entirely justified and that there was no right to a divorce under the European Convention of Human Rights. The appeal was dismissed.
The Court of Appeal commented "we cannot interfere with Judge Tolson's decision to refuse the wife the decree of divorce she sought… Parliament has decreed that is not a ground for divorce that you find yourself in a wretchedly unhappy marriage, though some people say it should be. Such is the law which it is our duty to apply".
Given the test set out, it is difficult to understand the decision of either Court. Mrs Owens pleaded 27 allegations of unreasonable behaviour in her divorce petition. Neither Court considered the cumulative impact of all 27 allegations on Mrs Owens, a wife who HHJ Tolson QC found to be "more sensitive than most".
There is now a real risk that as a result of this judgment, a petitioner will feel compelled to exaggerate their spouse's behaviour so as to persuade a judge that their marriage has broken down.
I cannot help but feel that Mrs Owens' case is being used by the judiciary to illustrate its dissatisfaction with the current state of law. Many have long campaigned for a no-fault divorce system to be introduced in the United Kingdom. It is notable that Mrs Owens' appeal was heard one day after Lord Keen of Elie, the Ministry of Justice spokesperson in the House of Lords, confirmed that the Government has no plans to reform divorce law, although it is considering further reforms to the family justice system.
The Court of Appeal made reference to Lord Keen's comments within its judgment, no doubt to highlight its dissatisfaction with the Government's stance.
Mrs Owens has indicated that she intends to seek permission to appeal to the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, the press and the public are calling the Government to reform the United Kingdom's archaic divorce system. We are all eagerly watching and waiting to see what happens next.

BAT-SARS LINK GROWS New viruses found in Chinese horseshoe bats resemble the SARS coronavirus and use the receptor molecule that SARS does to infect human cells.
Chinese horseshoe bats carry two newly identified viruses that are closely related to the coronavirus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, in people. The discovery, reported October 30 in Nature, provides the strongest evidence to date that SARS may have originated in bats.
The spread of SARS in 2002–2003 caused a pandemic that sickened more than 8,000 people and killed 774 worldwide. Scientists have identified several SARS-like coronaviruses in bats in China, Europe and Africa and proposed that the animals may have spread the virus to humans. But there's been no strong evidence to support the idea.

South Korean Drama Please Come Back Mister Holds Press Event
John Kim, Feb. 19, 2016, 8:10 a.m.
Rain says drama "Please Come Back, Mister" is a story about all the have-nots in society. The 33-year-old heartthrob plays Lee Hae-jun, a handsome department store manager, in the upcoming SBS series. Lee is a reincarnation of Kim Young-soo, who died from being overworked at the same department store.
"Kim, who used to have no power, experiences privilege when he's reborn as Lee. It may look like he's abusing power, but I hope you understand he's actually trying to help the have-nots of society," Rain said at a press conference in Seoul on Friday.
Meanwhile, another protagonist in the drama, Han Gi-tak, is the head of a gang who dies in a car accident and Hong Ran, a beautiful woman, possesses his spirit. She adopts Han's chauvinistic ways and starts gravitating toward his old crush, Song Yi-yeon.
Actress Oh Yeon-seo, who plays Hong Ran, said the pressure of having to act like a man, in a woman's body no less, had kept her awake at night. "Being a tom boy in real life, it wasn't too difficult to act like a man, but I'm worried I may put off too many marriage prospects," Oh said, laughing.
Actress Lee Min-jung, who plays Kim Young-soo's wife, said having recently become a mom, she related to the story well. "I was touched by the families' story maybe because I recently gave birth," she said. "I hope lots of people laugh and cry from watching this drama."
"Please Come Back, Mister" is based on the screenplay of the Japanese soap opera "Tsubakiyama Kachouno Nanokakan," which has also been made into a film. The South Korean series premieres at 10 p.m. on Wednesday.


Dogs, like humans, are individuals. There are two sides to personality, one is temperament and the other character. Temperament is a configuration of inclinations, while character is a configuration of habits. Character is disposition, temperament pre-disposition. Temperament is the inborn form of a dog's nature; character, the emergent form. So temperament they are born with, while character is developed through interaction with the environment.

Lea Black Talks Real Housewives, Friendship With Jeff Lewis, Skincare, And More On Pink Shade Podcast
by 0123456788 on January 26th, 2018
The Real Housewives Of Miami may be in our rearview mirrors, but Lea Black has not faded out of the spotlight – not by a long shot! The oft-titled "Mayor of Miami" appeared with her good friend Jeff Lewis on last season's Flipping Out, and is already shooting scenes for this season as well (yay!). Lea also joins Jeff regularly on his SiriusXM radio show, where the two besties dish about pop culture, design, politics – you name it. Lea's annual fundraising gala is still the talk of the town in Miami, and she's also busy working on her skincare, jewelry and handbag lines, as well as promotion of her novel, Red Carpets & White Lies, a novel loosely based on the underbelly of Miami's socialite scene.
Lea recently sat down with the Pink Shade With Erin Martin Podcast to dish on Housewives, Jeff, her relationship with The Queen of Versailles, Jackie Siegal – and more. Lea also does a Facebook Live show every Wednesday called Lunch With Lea which she describes as a time for her to dissect "all the trash and all the gossip – everything from pop culture to movies to music to politics to throwing people under the bus – laughing at people, laughing at people, awards shows. Whatever! We just talk, talk, talk."
No stranger to speaking her mind on any subject, Lea shared some inside scoop on why she thinks RHOM wasn't "sustainable" as a Housewives franchise in the end. Bottom line: individual egos destroyed the show, especially when it came to cast members trying to one-up each other. Lea claims that her cast mates were particularly jealous of Joanna Krupa and (later addition) Karent Sierra. She tells Erin on the podcast, "You know, the girls were just so jealous of [Joanna], it was ridiculous! And the other one they were jealous of was Karent. They just couldn't get Karent off the show fast enough, they were so jealous of her."
"One of them said one time, 'She's my number one competition!' I'm like, what are you talking about? Are you delusional? Competition for what? I mean, they're just so shallow with that short term thinking," says Lea.
However, Lea considers Marysol Patton the real cause of their franchise's demise. "She was the downfall as far as I'm concerned. She started the hate club and turned everyone against me. Then it became boring. I mean, who wants to sit around and watch a bunch of girls hate? It was just not sustainable. Also, everything she did was based on a lie. Like me not liking her mother (Elsa) – that was based on a lie. Like her being new best friends with Adriana [de Moura] – that was based on a lie. So when everything's based on a lie, and it's all about hate and bringing people down, I mean who's interested in that? I was bored with it myself!"
Before Bravo, and more particularly, Andy Cohen, became obsessed with the quirky Mama Elsa as a character, Lea says the entire cast, including Marysol, wasn't that interested in filming with her. But Lea was. "So we became friends because I was the only one who would sit and talk to her," she explains. "Then when she became popular, it was all like, 'oh you're just trying to film with her to become popular.' I was like, what are you talking about? You idiots wouldn't give her the time of day!"

Lea has a warning for The Real Housewives of Orange County, who she sees as potentially going down this same dark path. A show built on long-lasting resentments simply can't sustain itself, she argues. A cast shakeup is in needed over there, although Lea admits she can't ever picture Vicki Gunvalson leaving the show (nor does she want her to).

In the end, Lea says "the mean girls hijacked the show" after new producers came in. But the former RHOM Housewife has no regrets about the show being canceled – it's been onward and upward since then!
Lea's friendship with Jeff Lewis was highlighted on Flipping Out when she appeared on several episodes to work with him on designing her LA home which, incidentally, is within spitting distance of Jeff's house. Although some viewers berate him for his bad behavior, Lea says, "I love Jeff. I think he is so entertaining, but he's also got such a sweet side to him that people don't often see. To see him go from having a literal meltdown telling off a neighbor to being so sweet with his little girl – he's just got so many layers."
When Lea brought her friends Jackie and David Siegal on the show for Jeff to consider as potential clients, viewers took a trip down the rabbit hole of the eccentric billionaires' lifestyle – and extreme hoarding issues! Asked whether she's actually good friends with the Siegals, Lea claims, "I am! She's really just so sweet. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body, so good for her."
She does admit that Jackie's tendency to get her dead pets stuffed to keep around the house creeps her out – as it should! Lea laughs, "No! No, I think it's horrible! But that's just who they are in the world, and at least they don't pretend to be someone they're not. But no, I was horrified when I saw those dead dogs on that piano! I literally couldn't believe it. But I was like, this is their home, I'm not going to say anything."
Even though she's not a Housewife any longer, Lea does love dissecting the current Housewives out there, some of whom she thinks aren't playing the game quite right. For starters, she criticizes Bravolebrities who just use the platform to make a buck schilling whatever merchandise they can get their name on. As a person who's been in the skincare business since the 1980s, Lea thinks it's wiser to build a brand first, then use the show to highlight it.
From Bethenny Frankel to Ramona Singer on The Real Housewives of New York, Lea comments on how their branding can go a bit overboard. She thinks the NY cast is pretty golden though, commenting, "Sonja [Morgan] is my favorite. She reminds me of a young Barbara Streisand – she just can't get out of her own way. She's had a rough time of it since her divorce, so she's just doing what she has to do. And good for her! I cheer her on all the time. I'm always here for the underdog."
Interestingly, Lea had a brush with Luann de Lesseps' recent fall from grace when the former Countess called Roy Black (Lea's high powered attorney husband) for advice after her Palm Beach arrest. "She called my husband for advice, and he did recommend a great lawyer for her. The second good thing she did was go to rehab, which is good for the courts – but did she really need rehab? Only she knows that. I don't think she really has a long term drinking problem. I think she's just going through a rough spot, and my bet is that she'll bounce back."
For those of us of certain age who want our skin to bounce back, Lea says her Sudden Youth mask (available from her skincare line on LeaBlack.com) is a miracle facial. Several Housewives swear by it, and Lea claims it's not only preventative in nature, but can actually erase fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, dark spots – the works. She jokes that there are some Housewives out there who she'd love to send a kit to – Teresa Giudice and Kenya Moore being two of them!

Multicam (LSM) is software developed by the Belgian company EVS Broadcast Equipment. Combined with its remote controller, it allows controlling the XT3 video server.

This software and the production server allows broadcasters to record, control and play media. Originally developed for sports production, the XT[2] is now present in nearly each OB van in all last big sportive events as FIFA World Cup, IFAF World Cup, MotoGP and Olympic Games and is actually used in the biggest studio broadcasts such as NBC, France 2, CCTV and many others.

The multicam LSM's features are Instant replay, slow-motion, High-motion, super motion, Rough cut, editing, video playlist and content management.

Combined with the remote controller, it allows users to instantly make clips of ingested media, review multiple camera angles and replay them at any speed between -400 and + 400% at a very high quality (HD or SD).

This software and its widely known controller have become a standard, as part of each OB Van in sport productions. The LSM name has been adopted as the name of the person in charge of making the slow-motion replays (LSM Operator) in countries other than the United States. Today, there are approximately 5,000 LSM operators in the world.

In the United States, Germany and Norway, the LSM is commonly referred to as an EVS or Elvis, and operators as EVS operators, despite the fact that EVS manufactures other products besides the LSM.

So gross but we can't look away. This will make you think twice about a cheaper beauty option.
If you're thinking about getting lip fillers you'll want to watch this.
This is what happens when lip fillers go horribly wrong and get infected.
TV doc Dr Tijion Esho, from Channel 4's Body Fixers in the UK, posted a grim video on Twitter of him squeezing pus out of a patients swollen lip.
"When lip fillers go wrong. I get sent ALOT of emergency cases," he captioned the video. "This young lady contacted [sic] today with this video. She's now on my emergency table (and yes that is pus...)."
Reality star Kylie Jenner is known for her lip fillers, until she revealed she had them all removed. And how can we forget when Married At First Sight star Tracey Jewel finally stopped licking her lips after removing hers too!
But as people strive for the perfect pout they could be putting their health at risk, meaning stars like Kylie and Tracey have likely avoided any beauty dramas in the future for reversing their treatments.
Dr Esho told The Sun Online: "Lip fillers are medical procedures and all procedures carry risk. By seeing a medical professional in the correct medical environment with quality assured products you will minimise that risk.
"Risks include bleeding, bruising, infection, allergic reactions and, rare but most concerning, tissue necrosis, where a blood vessel is blocked, preventing blood flow to that area of tissue which can then die."
You are more at risk of infection if you; use cheap, unregulated products; when fillers are performed in unsanitary environments; if you don't follow correct aftercare practice; and when a clinic has shared syringes with another client, Dr Esho added.
These fillers can have a temporary or permanent effect.
In 2016 BAAPS revealed 90 per cent of plastic surgeons recorded a rise in the number of patients being dangerously misinformed about cosmetic surgery.
If you really want fillers, follow these steps from Dr Esho to make sure you avoid a nasty infection.


Before a car can ever come into the equation, your teen first needs a job. A job is a rite of passage for many teens, as it will help teach them about real-world responsibilities. The job will help them expand their social abilities and it will also provide them with an income that they can do whatever they want with. After all, they will need to be able to pay for the car's fuel!
There are many ways a teen can finance their car. They can either have enough savings to buy a used one outright, they can finance it by themselves, or you can help them. A great way to help them buy a car is to pay for the deposit as a gift to them, and to then let them finance the rest. Regardless of how you and your teen plan to pay for the car, work out a reasonable budget beforehand. Remember, the longer the lease, the more you pay over the original ticket price.
Insurance is a must, and a premium insurance can help protect your teen better than the basic level one they can probably afford. It's usually cheaper to add your teen to your own insurance, and can give them more room to make their car payments. It's important to note, however, that not all accidents mean that your insurance will be affected. If either you or your teen was in a car accident that wasn't your fault, it's important to contact a Stuart car accident law firm to get you the compensation you deserve.
When your teen wants a car, you need to make sure that they choose one that has high safety ratings to today's standards. There are a lot of old cars that, technically, have high safety ratings, but only in the context of the year they were produced. Steer your child away from flashy cars and instead towards safe, reliable cars that will keep them safe for years and years to come.
Once you've chosen a good car within your budget look up what its manufacturer price is and negotiate the car down to a much better price than what the ticket says.
It can be scary to see your child drive off without you in the car, but it's an important life skill that gives everyone the freedom and mobility necessary to be an independent adult. Help your teen buy their own car, and they'll be accountable for it, ensuring they are more careful, and safer.

Der U-Bahnhof Holzhauser Straße () ist ein Bahnhof der Linie U6 der Berliner U-Bahn. Er befindet sich als einer von drei oberirdischen Bahnhöfen der U6 im Berliner Ortsteil Tegel des Bezirks Reinickendorf. Der U-Bahnhof wurde am 31. Mai 1958 eröffnet und trägt im Bahnhofsverzeichnis der BVG das Kürzel Hh. Er ist 788 Meter vom U-Bahnhof Borsigwerke und 698 Meter vom U-Bahnhof Otisstraße entfernt. Der Bahnhof wurde von Bruno Grimmek entworfen.

Der Bahnhof verfügt über einen vollständig überdachten Mittelbahnsteig, auf den man über einen Zugang am nördlichen Bahnsteigende mit einer Vorhalle gelangen kann, und liegt 7,1 Meter über Straßenniveau. Die Gestaltung ist schlicht gehalten: Die Decke ist schmetterlingsartig und grau gehalten, der Bahnsteig wurde zweckmäßig gebaut. Die Mittelstützen bestehen aus einfachen weißen Quaderblöcken.

Ursprünglich sollte der Bahnhof bis 2016 barrierefrei umgebaut und ein Aufzug installiert werden. Dies war für das Jahr 2020 vorgesehen. Im gleichen Zeitraum sollte der stark in der Bausubstanz beschädigte Bahnsteig und das Dach saniert werden. Im Zuge der Grundsanierung und -instandsetzung des Streckenabschnittes zwischen Kurt-Schumacher-Platz und Alt-Tegel ab Februar 2023 ist sowohl eine Sanierung des Bahnhofes selbst wie der barrierefreie Ausbau vorgesehen.

Anbindung
Am U-Bahnhof bestehen Umsteigemöglichkeiten von der Linie U6 zu den Omnibuslinien X33, 133 und N33 der BVG.

A smart fridge basically comes with a touch screen display and some other features, like mirroring your TV's display on your fridge or viewing photos of its contents from your smartphone, performing activities through voice controls and more.
Now to the latest LG Smart InstaView Door-In-Door Refrigerator. The Smart fridge comes with a 29-inch semi-transparent touchscreen and also a fully-featured Windows 10 tablet, complete with Cortana.
The Smart InstaView's display turns semi-transparent, which allows you see what's in your fridge without opening it. You can use this mode to perform cool stuffs like add overlays to the view, like modern-day post-it notes. You can use them to identify which portion of the space is to be used for gluten-free foods, or where you'll keep the dairy products.
Owners of the smart fridge can even install apps from the Windows Store on here, play music out of the speakers, or use Cortana for voice control. The apps blend with the translucent display so you can have the weather on display while checking how much milk you have left.
There's also a built-in Bluetooth speaker that sits above the main compartment, although it's not yet clear if you'll be able to hear it when the doors are closed. The price or availability of the smart fridge has not been said yet, but the Smart Instaview Door-in-Door fridge should launch something this year or next. What ever the case maybe, save up cause this device is not going to be sold for cheap.


I don't think we'll be driving full electric cars in the next 2 years (although I really hope so), simply because of the petrol lobby. At least, not with a decent range (500Km or more). So I think the closest we can get is to drive a plug-in hybrid, something we can charge overnight and run full electric on the commute to work (30 to 60 km), but still use on the long trip with the whole familly to your birthland.
Still, my ideal car is a full electric vehicule, with an optional, LPG-powered, combustion engine-based, range-extending module. This module, essentially a small box (containing the engine, gas tank and alternator) could easily be installed and removed from the car, and left in your garage.
The extension module simply charges the batteries, and keeps the car running for longer. Like this, we could have a 1000+ Km range for the long runs (with quick fill-ups on the gas station) but we wouldn't spend needless energy transporting the extension module on small trips, when we clearly didn't need it (wich should be most of the time).
If this car does not appear in 2 years time, I'll build a prototype myself! 🙂 After all, I am an Electronics and Telecommunications Engineer, my father is a Mechanical Engineer, and my father-in-law is a very skilled and experienced metal-worker. All I have to do now is to find the time to do it, lure my father to Portugal again, and persuade my father-in-law.
All it takes is a chassis, an electric motor, an electronic motor driver, a battery bank, some mechanical coupling, control electronics, and an on-board computer. And a lot of work.
This would be an amazing project for next year, but I already have 2 projects underway… that really must be finished first.

State Board of Public Utilities awards projects to both Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind and Orsted
Credit: By Pat Johnson | The SandPaper | June 30, 2021 | www.thesandpaper.net ~~
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities today awarded projects that will provide a combined 2,658 megawatts of offshore wind capacity to EDF/Shell's Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, off Long Beach Island, and Ørsted's Ocean Wind II.
In a unanimous vote, the board awarded 1,510 MW of capacity to Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind and 1,148 MW to Ocean Wind II. The decision gives the Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind project, which skirts Long Beach Island from Barnegat Light south to Atlantic City, a major step forward and doubles the capacity for Ørsted's Ocean Wind project off Atlantic City, already approved by the BPU for 99 turbines of wind energy.
If approved during the vetting process through the state Department of Environmental Protection, there is a potential for 300-plus offshore wind turbines on New Jersey's continental shelf. In the Atlantic Shores project, turbines would be 10 miles off Barnegat Light and 9 miles off Holgate.
"Expanding New Jersey's offshore wind industry is a major component of achieving our goal of 100 percent clean energy by 2050, while providing significant opportunities and economic benefits for our state," said Gov. Phil Murphy. "By leveraging a whole-of-government approach and the strengths of our state, this award ensures that our investment in clean energy is also an investment in our communities, and will generate good-paying, union jobs and bring valuable investments to New Jersey. Today's award, which is the nation's largest combined award to date, further solidifies New Jersey as an offshore wind supply chain hub and leader in the offshore wind industry in the United States."
Today's decision brings the state's total planned capacity to over 3,700 MW and moves New Jersey closer to Murphy's goal of 7,500 MW of offshore wind by 2035 and 100 percent clean energy by 2050. Today's award is the nation's largest combined award to date.
According to the BPU, "Each project has committed to investing in New Jersey's burgeoning offshore wind industry by building new manufacturing facilities at the New Jersey Wind Port, utilizing the foundation manufacturing facility at the Port of Paulsboro, creating tens of thousands of jobs, and injecting billions of dollars in economic benefits into the State."
"We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to establish New Jersey as the epicenter of a new industry that will provide tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in economic benefits when we need it most," said Joseph L. Fiordaliso, BPU president. "Under Governor Murphy's leadership, we have made significant progress toward our goal of 7,500 MW of offshore wind by 2035 and will continue fighting for a clean energy future that benefits all New Jersey residents, improves public health, mitigates climate change, and bolsters our economy with sustainable, good-paying jobs."
"It is an exciting time for clean energy in New Jersey thanks to Governor Murphy's leadership," said DEP Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette. "The responsible development of offshore wind will help New Jersey reduce the worsening effects of climate change while creating family-sustaining green jobs capable of lifting all people and communities across the Garden State."
Combined, the two projects are estimated to create 7,000 full- and or part-time jobs across the development, construction and operational phases of the projects though some jobs will be short term. They will also generate $3.5 billion in economic benefits and power 1.15 million homes with clean energy. The solicitation also required the project developers to contribute $10,000 per MW to fund research initiatives and wildlife and fishery monitoring in the region – totaling $26 million – that will be administered by the BPU and DEP.
Each project also includes a commitment to build a nacelle assembly facility at the New Jersey Wind Port. The nacelle houses the components that convert the mechanical energy of the rotating blades into electrical energy. Atlantic Shores plans to partner with MHI Vestas for this facility while Ocean Wind will collaborate with GE. Both projects will utilize the foundation manufacturing facility at the Port of Paulsboro. Additional benefits to the region include a green hydrogen pilot facility from Atlantic Shores and a truck electrification pilot project at Port Newark from Ocean Wind.
The BPU is also engaged in a transmission solicitation managed by regional grid operator PJM Interconnection. The solicitation seeks options for a single transmission solution that can deliver offshore wind energy from the turbines to the existing grid.
In 2019, the BPU awarded a 1,100 MW project, enough to power half a million homes, to Ørsted's Ocean Wind to be built 15 miles off the coast of Atlantic City.
On track with the governor's solicitation schedule, the board anticipates opening a third offshore wind solicitation for at least 1,200 MW in 2022.

Governor Hochul Announces Up to $29 Million to Jumpstart Future City of Syracuse Mixed Use Project
by Public Information Officer.In Media Communications, Press Releases.Leave a Comment on Governor Hochul Announces Up to $29 Million to Jumpstart Future City of Syracuse Mixed Use Project
This release was issued by the Office of New York State Governor Kathy Hochul
Funding from FY 2023 Budget to be Available for Pre-Development Site Preparation
Governor Kathy Hochul today announced up to $29 million in funding available in the FY 2023 Enacted State Budget to help the City of Syracuse with its plans to redevelop the former Syracuse Developmental Center as a regional job hub and mixed income housing site. This funding serves to support wide-reaching investments being made by the Governor in workforce development and affordable housing across the state.
"Revamping abandoned, vacant sites into updated venues of all kinds is a no-brainer, helping spur economic development while revitalizing communities and bringing new opportunities," Governor Hochul said. "The former Syracuse Developmental Center site could go a long way in serving the Central New York region with the plans put forth by the City of Syracuse. I am proud to invest in this transformative project and look forward to the good it will bring to the people of the region."
The state funding will be used for pre-development site preparation work including the demolition and remediation of the existing structures on the site as well as infrastructure investments to expand water and sewer service lines, roads and sidewalks, tree planting, canopy and lighting throughout the site.
The State-funded site preparation work will support the City of Syracuse's proposal for new commercial, advanced manufacturing facilities and new multi-tenant residential buildings for mixed income housing at the vacant site at 800-2 S. Wilbur Avenue, which the City seized after several years of tax delinquency.
State Senator John W. Mannion said, "The Syracuse Developmental Center site, abandoned for over two decades, will finally be revitalized following this up to $29 million investment for demolition and remediation. This funding provided in the State Budget will go a long way to ensure the former Syracuse Developmental Center can be safely repurposed while bringing jobs and new housing to our region. I applaud the leadership of Governor Hochul to ensure the former Syracuse Developmental Center site can be redeveloped for all of Central New York."
State Senator Rachel May said, "Syracuse and Central New York continue to grow, and I'm thrilled to see the progress on the Syracuse Developmental Center site. With mixed-income housing and a career hub, the improvements to this site will provide much-needed affordable housing and important job resources for Syracuse residents. I want to thank Governor Hochul for her work on this much-needed and exciting investment to continue the momentum of Syracuse's resurgence."
Assemblymember William Magnarelli said, "Knowing this property quite well, having been a union electrician's helper when the present structures were built in the early 1970s, I am happy to see this wonderful property put into use again. The transformation of the property into quality housing and a hub for high tech jobs is a great investment in the City of Syracuse."

Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh said, "With Governor Hochul's assistance, we are one step closer to making the former Syracuse Developmental Center site a premier example of transformation and opportunity. After decades as an eyesore, my administration seized the 48-acre vacant property for back taxes in 2019 to protect the neighborhoods around it and to bring it back to productive use. In alignment with the Syracuse Surge, our strategy for inclusive growth in the New Economy, we've identified partners to bring high tech jobs and quality housing to the property. I thank Governor Hochul for supporting our vision and providing the state resources we need to prepare this site for redevelopment and ensure it has a bright future for all of Syracuse

I have always been perplexed by things like liposuction being listed in life extension and anti aging forums. I guess one could try to argue that being heavy will cause other problems in your body that lead to a shortened life but simply removing fat cells, in my opinion, is not going to help with the other conditions. One must strive to remove the fat through diet and exercise which will, at the same time, remove or at least decrease the other conditions.
If you are considering fat removal as a remedy to looking younger, one could argue that there are plenty of younger people who are heavy. In addition, when fat is removed, rather then slowly reduced/lost through exercise and diet, there is a considerable amount of "EXTRA" skin left behind. Even when you reduce fat naturally this will happen but the immediate results from fat removal can be quite, well, scary looking. Especially when you see someone who has been taking weight loss pills, their face can get rather gaunt and the neck becomes very loose a wrinkly. This, in effect, causes one to actually look older.
In the past years that I have attended Beauty conventions there has always been a plethora of companies hawking their various fat removal devices. If any of you are not familiar with these, these are machines that, through various means such as radio frequency, MELT or burst open fat cells under the skin. Of course, if these actually work, one must ask, "Where is all that fat going"? Well, if it really works, into your blood stream and finally into your liver and kidneys of course. So then, later, many came out with machines that not only claimed to dissolve the fat cells but to then actually extract the fat through the skin. I have seen these machines demonstrated with a little glass jar on the machine that slowly fills up with what looks like fat. Are they real??? If they are, again, there must be major issue involved with dissolving fat cells and sucking the fat out through your skin? At any rate, the last two times I have been to shows, guess what? I have only seen 1 or 2 of these machines. Now most everyone is focused onto wrinkle removal or reduction.
There are a lot of ways, on the market now, to remove fat from ones body. However, I would hope anyone thinking of these kinds of procedures would first consider to giving exercise and diet a serious try first. The results will be longer lived and the true benefits will be far greater.


Many thanks to Alfred for inviting us back again to join their team. We had a great time the last 3 years!
See you on the water or in Cowes, we will be there on the J111 Munkenbeck boat. We are in Class 1 this year so watch out Buckley Gray Yeoman architects and M Price Sub Contractors!


Pins and Needles: Could Acupuncture Help Promote Pregnancy?
April 16: Pairing an ancient Chinese medicine technique with in-vitro fertilization treatments can tip the odds in favor of women waiting to get pregnant, a new German medical study has found.
The study, published in the April edition of the medical journal Fertility and Sterility, found that acupuncture, an important element in the 4,000-year-old tradition of Chinese medicine, increases the chance of pregnancy for women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
It does not identify how acupuncture may affect the uterus and reproductive system, but the researchers found the technique enhanced the chances of becoming pregnant for a significant number of the women in their small study population. Though the reason that acupuncture helps may be somewhat of a mystery, it is a serious study that deserves attention, ABCNEWS' Dr. Nancy Snyderman said.
"We know that acupuncture, when the needles are placed correctly, can affect the nervous system of the body," ABCNEWS Dr. Nancy Snyderman said. "So the question always is, can you make the uterus a better receiving place for embryos?"
Researchers included 160 patients undergoing in-vitro fertilization for the study. The patients, who were all required to have good quality embryos, were evenly and randomly divided into two groups similar in age and diagnosis.
When the patients were examined using ultrasound six weeks after their IVF procedures, the differences in pregnancy rates were notable. In the control group, 26 percent of the women, or 21 out of 80 patients, became pregnant. Of the patients who had received acupuncture treatments, 42 percent of the women, 34 out of 80, became pregnant.
Researchers utilized acupuncture on half of the patients in their study. According to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, energy flows through the body along defined pathways, also called "meridians." Acupuncture is a means of influencing this energy to induce a particular effect in the body.
The group receiving acupuncture treatments had one treatment before the embryos were transferred to their uterus, and another treatment after the transfer. The researchers inserted sterile needles into the patients' bodies at specific points, including along the spleen and the stomach "meridians," in an effort to stimulate blood flow and direct energy to the uterus, and to produce a sedative effect.
"The idea being that if you can stimulate the nerves, you can make the uterus quiet and blood flow," Snyderman said. "It makes it easier for the embryos to take hold."
Researchers inserted additional needles into the patients' ears, both to influence the uterus and stabilize the endocrine system. Needles were left in place for 25 minutes while the patients rested. The control group also rested, lying still for 25 minutes after embryo transfer, as part of the IVF protocol.
The researchers plan to conduct further studies to try to rule out possible psychological or psychosomatic effects.
Snyderman, said the study backs up what doctors have heard anecdotally for years: that by relaxing a woman can increase her chances of becoming pregnant. This may be the evidence to prove it that has been lacking, she said.
"There is no doubt, because this was a very well done study and it was reported in a very highly regarded medical journal, that doctors will sit up and pay attention to it," she said. "This is the first time we may have had a serious marriage between an art and science that is so many, many years old, and what is really cutting-edge technology, in-vitro fertilization."

Rudy Wingate is now studying music education at Norfolk State University.
Rudy Wingate could have become another statistic – another special-education student left behind in life.
Instead, he is a college graduate working toward becoming a music teacher.
"I came to TCC and learned that I could learn, and that was a great surprise," said Wingate, who earned his Associate of Applied Science in General Studies from Tidewater Community College in May 2017.
He completed the two-year degree in three packed semesters and is now studying music education at Norfolk State University.
While at TCC, Wingate found a passion for music by taking a guitar class. After one semester, he was proficient on both guitar and saxophone and participating in two TCC music program ensembles.
"It was like a lightbulb went on, and music just clicked with me. I was surprised at how fast I was learning, and not just in my music classes," he said.
Wingate found support from his academic advisors, teachers and pretty much everyone on the Norfolk Campus. He credits counselor Mark Flanders, who helped him develop a career plan.
His introduction to education hindered his progress prior to his college years. Wingate repeated second grade and was placed in special education classes because of behavioral issues. Even though he was smart enough, he was never part of a mainstream classroom after that.
"In high school, I would score well on SOLs, but I didn't know how to act. I really didn't learn what other high school kids were learning," he said.
Meeting Jahkari "J.T." Taylor, a special education teacher with Chesapeake Public Schools, changed his direction.
"He saw something in me and encouraged me to go to college. He even helped me with the admissions process to TCC," Wingate said.

Q: Google Play Console - Publish only certain changes with managed publishing I have an app that has been reviewed by Google and is ready to be published. Managed publishing is turned on. However, I am not quite ready to release it to the public yet. In the meanwhile, I would like to add a new build to a closed testing track. The problem is that when I add the new test build, it also goes to the list of "Changes ready to publish". I see a general button to "Publish changes" but not a way to publish certain changes.
How can I publish my test build without also releasing the production app at this time? If I turn off managed publishing now, will it automatically publish all current pending changes?

Phoenix area jerky store owner shares own battle with addiction
By Desiree Fluellen
Phoenix area business owner overcomes addiction and homelessness
An injury over a decade ago resulted in Justin Reed's 15-year addiction to opioids. However, Reed managed to turn his life around, and he is now, along with his wife, owners of a jerky-selling business. FOX 10's Desiree Fluellen reports.
PHOENIX - An Arizona businessman is sharing his story of how he overcame his addiction.
For Scott Reed, who owns Reed's Western Jerky, his past is riddled with darkness.
"I've had a long, hard life. I've had my ups and downs with drugs and homelessness, and I tried to change my life," said Reed.
In 2006, Reed he tore his ACL while skateboarding. That was how his 15-year addiction to opioid began.
Reed was homeless for a year, and after spending some time in jail, he entered rehab and got clean. From there, he ultimately became the owner of Reed's Western Jerky.
"Me and my dad started making jerky around 2003," said Reed.
It started as a hobby, but following his dad's sudden passing in 2020, Reed knew he needed to take thing to the next level.
"He taught me tons of stuff. Definitely jerky," said Reed. "I'm just trying to carry on his legacy and help people be healthy and happy."
Reed and his wife Katie cut, marinate, cook, and dehydrate the jerkys themselves. In all, they offer eight flavors.
"We have Original, Teriyaki, Sweet Mesquite, Fresh Cracked Pepper, Hot Honey Habanero, and Tombstone," said Katie. "We also have our savory sirloin, which is fresh cracked pepper with butter and garlic, and then our Sweet Baby Reaper, which is our up-and-coming one."
All the jerkys are made at Oasis Bagels. The bagel store's owner, Jerry Hassman, was touched by Reed's story, and wants to help him succeed.
"Small business, we are the backbone of the economy, and we have to stick together," said Hassman. "They have a really good story, and I have the ability to help them out and get them started, so I think it's a win-win for everybody."
Reed's Western Jerky can be found at Oasis Bagels in Goodyear. The products can also be found online.

How to boost higher education and cut public spending by David Willetts
In a new paper published by the Higher Education Policy Institute, the Rt Hon. the Lord (David) Willetts, the former Minister for Universities and Science (2010-14), considers how to overcome challenges currently facing the higher education sector as well as how to save public spending on higher education at the forthcoming Spending Review.
David Willetts, the author of Boosting higher education while cutting public spending (HEPI Report 142), said:
Higher education has fallen out of favour. But it boosts earnings, wellbeing and the prospects of people and areas left behind. Conservatives are increasingly worried that graduates are left wing but the Party's problem is with young people more widely. The best way to tackle this problem is by helping them fulfil their aspirations – to own their home, get a decent job, and – yes – go to university.
It is in the interests of students that universities are well funded. But that should not come at the expense of taxpayers. It is wrong that forecast loan write-offs have risen from 28% under the Coalition to 53% today. Too many graduates have the depressing experience of their student debt rising each year when they could be paying it off. That's why I believe the repayment threshold should be brought back down to £21,000 saving £3 billion of public spending a year.
Universities are crucial to levelling up and boosting earnings as well as delivering vocational training. That means breaking down old-fashioned assumptions about universities shaped by the long dominance of the Oxbridge model. Higher education comes in many forms. The so-called "bad" universities are very useful indeed in vocational training and applied research. They are anchor institutions boosting local economies across England – in Bolton, Bradford, and Sunderland as well as Oxford and Cambridge. New universities should be created in towns from Blackpool to Chatham. Universities are a great national asset. We should use them and build more of them.
The aspiration to reach higher education is widespread, particularly among groups which have not had the opportunity in the past. The red wall seats have much lower participation. Fewer than 30% of school and college leavers go on to higher education compared with 60% in affluent long-standing Tory seats.
Low levels of participation in higher education are holding back wages in the Tory red wall seats. New figures on a constituency basis show that higher education qualification ranges from 19% of the working age population in Great Yarmouth (where median weekly full-time earnings £473) to four times this at 77% in Tooting (where earnings are £767). For every 1 percentage point increase in the proportion of the working age population with higher education qualifications, median full-time earnings in a constituency rise on average by almost £5 per week (or over £250 per year). Almost half of the variation in earnings between parliamentary constituencies is statistically associated with variation in the prevalence of higher education qualifications.
More graduates in an area boosts the earnings of non-graduates. The levelling up agenda means we need more university students from low-participation areas. That is unlikely to be achieved if it is a zero-sum game dependent on lowering participation in high participation areas.
Economies with liberal labour markets and high levels of flexibility tend to have slightly higher levels of participation. Our participation rate is not the result of a centrally imposed target of 50% participation which has long since been abandoned. It is the result of the choices of young people.
Graduates are not currently paying back enough of the cost of higher education. Forecast write-offs of student loans in England have risen from 28% under the Coalition to 53% now. This is the result of the mistaken decision to raise the repayment threshold to £25,000 and index it thereafter. It should be reduced to £21,000, including for graduates who have recently graduated. That would save £3 billion per year. It would also reduce the number of graduates who see their graduate debt rising each year – a concern to them and their parents.
There should be a quinquennial review of the levels of fees and loans so they can be recalibrated as the labour market and the economy change.
The Government should make it easier for universities to communicate with their graduates. And universities should have the opportunity of taking a stake in the debt of their own graduates so they gain if their graduates' earnings rise.
The social backgrounds of degree apprentices are higher than for university students. Compared with mainstream students doing a similar subject, higher level apprentices were more white, more male, less likely to be disabled and less likely to be from a deprived area. Social barriers to apprenticeships may be one reason why disadvantaged groups have rapidly increasing levels of participation in higher education which has more diverse and open recruitment.
There is no battle between FE and HE. The biggest single role of Further Education Colleges is delivering education and training for 16 to 18-year olds. They are a crucial route to higher education and can also deliver it themselves, usually in courses validated by a university.
Driving students to do T-levels and enforcing a binary divide between academic and vocational courses at the age of 16 is a mistake. BTECs straddle that divide and are popular with 250,000 students doing them every year. It would be a great error to remove funding for them to force students onto T-levels. My proposed amendment to the Skills Bill requires consultation with employer representatives before any such qualifications lose their funding.
The Lifelong Loan Entitlement is an important new initiative. However, mature students are more averse to loans than younger students, who can see the promise of the graduate route whereas it may be harder for older people to shift career. It is likely therefore that take up of the four-year loan entitlement will be greatest among younger students. This is an opportunity to move to four-year degrees, a historic opportunity to tackle England's worst education problem – early specialisation.
The Rt Hon. the Lord Willetts FRS is the President of the Resolution Foundation and chaired the Foundation's recent Intergenerational Commission. He served as the Member of Parliament for Havant from 1992 to 2015 and was the Minister for Universities and Science from 2010 to 2014. He previously worked at HM Treasury and in the No.10 Policy Unit. His books include The Pinch: How the Baby Boomers Took Their Children's Future – And Why They Should Give It Back (second edition, 2019) and A University Education (2017). He is Chancellor of the University of Leicester and a Visiting Professor at King's College, London. This is his first paper for HEPI.
HEPI was established in 2002 to influence the higher education debate with evidence. We are UK-wide, independent and non-partisan. We are funded by organisations and universities that wish to see a vibrant higher education debate, as well as through our own events. HEPI is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity.

Willetts is absolutely right on the value of (higher) education, and his instincts are matched by the popularity of HE among young people. Reducing the threshold needs further work, especially with regards to the disproportionate effect on higher income students. It may help, however, to quicken the time it takes to clear the debt. I disagree on the taxpayer burden issue. Paying for all levels of education is a prudent use of tax income, given the return on investment, and the overwhelmingly transformative impact of education on individuals, communities and wider society.
Mick Marriott says:
I started reading this with trepidation.
However, some very valid points are made. I have no problem funding HE through taxation, but students are accruing debt unnecessarily, due to the current repayment threshold.
The statements in regards BTECs are very welcome, we need diverse students coming into HE, not a binary selection. As for the specialisation problem, I am not sure that is solved with a 4 year degree course, but a larger societal change of not telling people that they need to choose a career path and then stick to iy!
albert wright says:
Some interesting ideas and I certainly agree that the graduates need to contribute more to their own education.
In relation to constituency level graduate residency, we need to be careful in how we misunderstand / understand the data.
"Low levels of participation in higher education are holding back wages in the Tory red wall seats. New figures on a constituency basis show that higher education qualification ranges from 19% of the working age population in Great Yarmouth (where median weekly full-time earnings £473) to four times this at 77% in Tooting (where earnings are £767). For every 1 percentage point increase in the proportion of the working age population with higher education qualifications, median full-time earnings in a constituency rise on average by almost £5 per week (or over £250 per year).
My take is that the graduates in Great Yarmouth got their degrees in all sorts of places, as did those in Tooting and the explanation of the percentages relates to the graduate jobs in Great Yarmouth and the graduate jobs in Tooting, London.
Unless we put a University in Great Yarmouth and stop employers offering graduate jobs in London, things are unlikely to change.
Graduates end up where the jobs are. They have preferences related to desired locations post degree: to remain in the area where they studied or go back to the areas they lived in pre University – if they can get jobs there.
The location of graduate jobs dictates the percentage of graduates in a constituency and the prosperity of a constituency arises in part from the spending power graduates have. Moving unemployed graduates to Great Yarmouth will not be enough.

The Best CSI Team Leader According To Fans
Erik Voake/CBS
By Jonah Schuhart/Dec. 14, 2021 4:18 pm EST
In any "CSI" series, the team leader — also known as the supervisor (whether that be night shift or day shift) — is the linchpin that holds the CSI team together. As their title implies, they manage the rest of the CSI investigators as the crew works hard to figure out each of their respective cases. Said investigators often have to report to their supervisor, and supervisors often take a more commanding leadership role whenever there are executive decisions to be made. More often than not, only the best and the brightest investigators get elevated to supervisor positions.
Throughout the runtime of the original "CSI" series, a total of seven people were shown serving as supervisors for the Las Vegas crime labs (via CSI wiki). Most of these characters either appeared on the show for several episodes or worked as supervisors for multiple seasons. In other words, they're fully-fleshed out characters who fans learn more about over time. As such, it's no surprise that fans have ranked who they believe the best "CSI" team leader is.
Fans are pretty divided between Gil Grissom and D.B.
On the "CSI" subreddit discussing the show's best supervisors, fans made it pretty clear that two particular examples stand out from the pack. The first is Gil Grissom (William Petersen), the detached yet brilliant investigator who appears in the show's first nine seasons. The other is the more relaxed and fatherly D.B. Russell (Ted Danson), who headed the Las Vegas crime lab between Seasons 12 and 15.
A user named u/BlackSmith13 wrote, "Gil Grissom will always be the best leader IMO....after that, I like DB...and now Max. Another user named u/MajesticVegetable202 agreed, writing "No one beats Gil."
Though fans weren't overly specific as to why they like these two, the sheer number of fans who picked them shows a very clear pattern. Out of the 27 people to leave comments sharing their thoughts on the matter, 13 named Grissom, and an additional nine named D.B.. Both of these characters were mentioned far more than any other "CSI" team leader. Despite that, there were some outliers in characters like Mac Taylor and Catherine Willows.
Even so, it's clear that in general, fans' hearts lie with none other than Grissom and D.B.


Kristian Hogsberg, Red Hat Xorg developer started a new project for creating a display manager called Wayland a while back. Now, a Clutter backend has been developed for it. Last month, Wayland got DRI2 support which itself was initiated by the same developer. Direct Rendering Infrastructure improvements are among one of the key Fedora 11 features.
1) Sounds like it will support a high-performing, accelerated, X server as a client, so it's not necessary for application / toolkit authors to switch immediately / ever in order for Wayland to be usable.
2) Reuses driver infrastructure from X.org so it's not necessary for driver authors to jump on the ship. Again, this reduces the need for external developers to switch platforms in order for the project to be viable.
3) Crucially: Wayland is designed to be useful even if nobody ports their apps to use it. Plan is to use it to multiplex multiple independent X servers, allowing things like 3D accelerated transitions on fast user switching.
In my opinion, these three factors combine to make Wayland a more plausible prospect for a future display server than attempts that have gone before. There's no need for a "change the world" where everyone gets rid of X.org and decides Wayland is the way forward – the project can thrive even if that never happens.
Crucially: Wayland is designed to be useful even if nobody ports their apps to use it. Plan is to use it to multiplex multiple independent X servers, allowing things like 3D accelerated transitions on fast user switching.
Right. Because all Linux graphics really needs today is to have even more layers added between the application and the hardware, so that we can have even more useless eye saccharine in even more useless places.
Krh is the guy behind many of the important advancements in Xorg including AIGLX and DRI2 and I suspect his experiments are going to improve the state of Linux Desktop quite a bit.
