The CEE is a consortium of energy efficiency program administrators from United States and Canada formed to influence appliance manufacturers, government agencies, and other stakeholders. The consortiums goal is to maximize the impact of energy efficiency programs. They publish specification tiers, of increasing efficiency, that help program administrators such as utilities and local government agencies target their efficiency rebate programs.
Energy Star is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency program that helps identify high efficiency appliances in order to help consumers save money and to protect the environment.
CEE 'Tier 0' was added during this update, as in the past there were only three tiers. The previous Tier 1 is now Tier 0 and is used as a place holder to allow current rebates and incentives to continue as the market shifts to the new tiers. The new Tier 0 (14.5 SEER and 12 EER) remains above the federal efficiency minimum. It is likely that Tier 0 will go away in near future after the industry has time to adapt to the new efficiency standards and the associated tiers.
CEE and Energy Star collaborated with the industry to, in most cases, align their specifications. This is positive for the industry, as it reduces the number of models to design, manufacture and stock. For the homeowner the new specifications reduce confusion around energy efficiency ratings. The new CEE Tier 1 aligns with Energy Star ratings and is expected to become the most popular tier for efficiency programs. As a result, you should expect to see new models designed to meet this efficiency level in future.

Војна служба је служба појединца или групе у војсци или другој милицији, било као изабрана дужност (добровољац) или као резултат недобровољног позива (војни обвезник).

Неке државе (нпр. Мексико) захтијевају одређену дужину војне службе од сваког грађанина, осим у посебним случајевима, као што су физички или ментални поремећаји или вјерска увјерења. Већина држава на војнз обавезу обавезује само мушкарце. Нпр. у Норвешкој, Шведској, Сјеверној Кореји, Израелу и Еритреји војни обвезници су и мушкарце и жене. Међутим, само Норвешка и Шведска имају родно неутралну војну обавезу, при којој су и мушкарце и жене војни обвезници и служе под једнаким формалним условима. Неке државе са системом војне обавезе тај систем не спроводе.

Државе са обавезном војном службом обично се ослањају и на грађане који одлуче да се придруже оружаним снагама као каријеристи.

Неке државе са оружаним снагама своје особље не приморавају на војну обавезу (нпр. већина држава чланица НАТО-а и Европске уније). Умјесто тога, промовишу војну каријеру како би привукли и одабрали регруте; види војно регрутовање.

Обично мање државе, или уопште немају оружане снаге или се ослањају на наоружане снаге безбједности (нпр. полиција, обалска стража).

HUNGERFORD Town are facing a crisis as they look to secure their future.
The National League South side have announced that they are looking for a new chairman, secretary and treasurer for next season to oversee the future of the club.
Chairman Steve Skipworth, secretary Mike Hall and treasurer Terry Wild will all step down at the end of the 2018/19 season.
The Crusaders hosted an open fans forum at Bulpit Lane last Thursday to discuss the financial crisis facing the club, who are battling to maintain their National League status.
Skipworth, who also maintains the condition of the pitch and other facilities, said: "I am stepping down because the workload is too much and I have to handle other jobs too.
"I am still happy to do the pitch and the facilities as opposed to the role of chairman. I have done it for 10 years and I am tired of it.
Current treasurer Wild announced a loss of £107,675 from last season, which was largely down to a benefactor pulling out mid-season.
When a projection was made for the rest of 2019, it was revealed that Town were set to lose a further £48,000.
In terms of next season, Wild said: "The club will receive £149,000 in income, but there's £111,000 in expenses and £38,000 for players' wages and all team-related expenses.
"If we do get any other income from anyone, it can be added back to the players' budget, but do it after you receive it and not in anticipation," he added.
The current debt of the club stands at £56,000 and the club believe this can be resolved.
However, there will be a shortfall until the end of the year at the club and they announced that £15,000 is required for wages and other bills.
"It's desperate – it needs sorting out and it needs sorting out quickly because we haven't got a structure at the minute," added Wild.
Hungerford are also on the lookout for a commercial manager, but until other significant roles are filled, this won't happen.
One of the decisions by the committee was to take the option of voluntary relegation from the National League South.
"We want to play at a level where everyone is happy," said Skipworth.
"The most important thing is to make sure the club survives because it's been here for 140 years and we want to make sure that continues.
Secretary Hall said: "I cannot think of anything worse than going down, whether it be on the field or off the field – to think we collectively want to go down is completely wrong.
Meanwhile, Crusaders manager Ian Herring remains uncertain of his future at the club after the fans forum.
The 35-year-old wants to see 'drastic changes' at the club.
Hungerford are currently in a relegation fight on the field, while facing financial battles off it.
But Town helped their battle for survival on Saturday as they won 3-0 at Hampton & Richmond.
James Rusby scored twice and Alfy Whittingham was also on target as Hungerford moved out of the relegation zone.
Herring said: "Unless there are drastic changes within the club, I will offer my resignation at the end of the season because I can't work under current circumstances.
"Would I be committed to next season? I don't know.
Even if Town fill the roles, Herring is still unsure about his future.
"I'd have to speak to my wife," he admitted. "The chairman and new secretary would have to be the right people I could work with.
"I am a committed person, a loyal person and a hard-working person. Once I commit to something, I won't walk away until it's drastic and at the moment, it is drastic.
One of the options to assist Hungerford's finances was to take voluntary relegation, but Herring, who has spent almost eight years at the club, was totally against that idea.
He said: "I don't see why, if we stay up, you'd want to drop down from this league.
"Okay, we have to find a new chairman, treasurer and secretary, but surely if you drop down a league, the ability to draw sponsors in and use the loan system, giving players opportunities to play at this level goes.
Herring has worked hard to keep Hungerford in the National League South, bringing in players on loan from other clubs.

Western Balkans Perspectives on the Future of Europe: Sarajevo
News, Social Democratic Politics and Values, Event
On 20th of November, the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Dialogue Southeast Europe and the Austro-French Centre for Rapprochement in Europe organized the second focus group discussion in the Western Balkans Discuss the Future of Europe series. The event gathered academics, journalists, politicians, members of parliaments, activists, and other opinion-makers alike from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Event was opened by welcoming remarks from Dr. Ralf Melzer (FES SOE) and Harun Cero (FES SOE). The discussion in the focus groups were kicked-off and moderated by strategic facilitators of the program, Viktor Mitevski (ZMAI), Jovana Spremo (Lawyers' Committee for Human Rights), Rasim Ibrahimagić (Initiative for Monitoring the European Integration of BiH) and Anida Šabanović (FPI BH).
The participants were divided into two groups, and the discussion aimed to single out possible contributions of the Western Balkans could make to the making of Europe and reform of the Union. Both discussion groups had the task of tackling two questions:
What should the European Union, that the WB6 countries would like to join, be about and what should it seek to achieve?
What distinct contributions could the WB6 make towards advancing the European project, how can thair membership strengthen the Union?
The discussion was engaging, and benefited largely from the diverse backgrounds of the speakers. The first question prompted insightful remarks regarding the perception of EU institutions. For example, the participants highlighted existing mistrust towards the EU Commission because of the perceived massive lobbying attempts.
The conclusions of the discussion suggest that uneven distribution of resources should ideally be addressed through more active participation of citizens, that have the right to be more informed and have and impact on the future decision. One of the key remarks on the future of European Union as a relevant and trusted actor is to preserve and strengthen liberal democracy within the Union itself, and to further promote progressive policies, without being populist.
When it comes to distinct contributions, the participants highlighted several prominent characteristics of the Western Balkans, that could be of benefit to an enlarged Union. The specific geographical location of the region results in its diverse and opulent natural resources, that according to our discutants could be turned into a sustainable resource that would benefit the economies of the WB6 and the EU.
The human capital, especially when it comes to the youth in the region, shold not be neglected. The strong will of the youngsters to leave their home countries should be transformed into potential for circular migration. Last, but certainly not the least, culture of the Western Balkans could bring a distinct new enrichment to the European Union.
This was the final event for 2020 in the Western Balkans Perspectives on the Future of Europe. The program continues next year, with new discussions across the region and in the European Union Member States.

The Philippine government is facing calls for an inquiry after it admitted relocating homeless people temporarily during Pope Francis' visit.
Social welfare secretary Corazon Soliman said that nearly 500 people were taken from the streets of Manila to an upscale resort in the outskirts.
House of Representatives member Terry Ridon called for an inquiry, saying the move was a "clearing operation".
Pope Francis arrived in the Philippines last week and left on January 19.
According to the Philippine Star, he plans to summon Corazon Soliman to explain her agency's actions before lawmakers.
Corazon Soliman said in interviews this week that the homeless families were removed shortly before the pontiff arrived on January 15.
Many of them lived along the Manila Bay seafront, the venue for January 18 mass which drew a record crowd of six million.
On January 14, they were taken to the Chateau Royale resort, which charges hundreds of dollars for a room per night, and returned to the capital on Monday after Pope Francis had left.
The families are now temporarily residing at government facilities in Manila, Corazon Soliman said.
She defended the move as an effort to protect them from large crowds and crime syndicates during the Pope's visit, adding that it was part of a scheme to eventually move them to rent-free temporary accommodation.
"Part of the orientation is to familiarize themselves with a room with a door and toilets," Corazon Soliman told the AFP news agency.
She insisted it was "not for keeping them out of sight", and said the Pope saw shanties and homeless people during his trip.
The controversy comes after reports that street children had been rounded up and put into cages in detention centers, which the government has denied.
Pope Francis had made poverty one of the central themes to his visit, calling for mercy and compassion for the poor and meeting and hugging street children.

Ким Чен Ун (на хангъл: 김정은; на ханджа: 金正恩) е севернокорейски политически, държавен, военен и партиен деец, заемащ от края на 2011 година най-високите постове в страната – върховен ръководител, лидер на Корейската работническа партия, вожд на народа на КНДР, върховен главнокомандващ и маршал на Корейската народна армия, първи секретар на Централния комитет на Корейската работническа партия, депутат във Върховното народно събрание на КНДР.

Той е най-малкият син на Ким Чен Ир от третата му съпруга, балерината с японски произход по майчина линия Ко Йон Хи – което компрометира севернокорейският мит за "чистокръвието" на династията "Ким" и би поставило всеки друг в страната на мястото на него и баща му на най-ниската възможна категория спрямо системата за оценка на благонадеждността "Сонгбун". Брат е на Ким Чжон Чул и полубрат на Ким Чен Нам (най-големия син на Ким Чен Ир), роден от киноактрисата Сон Хе Рим. Поради известна доза спекулация неговото съществуване е пазено в тайна.

Сведения за този трети син на ръководителя на Корейската народно-демократична република се появяват едва с излизането на мемоарите на дългогодишния готвач на Ким Чен Ир, публикувал под псевдонима Кенджи Фуджимото. По негови данни Чен Ун е роден в периода 1983 – 1985 година, а според други източници – през 1982 или 1983 година.

В мемоарите си Кенджи Фуджимото прави предположението, че Чен Ун е вероятен наследник след оттеглянето от поста на Ким Чен Ир, който често се оплаква от прекалената изнеженост на Чен Чул. Първородният син Чен Нам губи благоволението на баща си след международен скандал през 2001 г., когато е заловен с фалшив доминикански паспорт при опит да влезе в Япония. Към онзи момент съществуването на Чен Ун е неизвестно.

На 8 януари 2009 година Ким Чен Ир издава директива за назначаването на сина си Ким Чен Ун за лидер на Корейската работническа партия. Ким Чен Ир определя Ким Чен Ун за свой наследник.

Списание Forbes поставя Ким на 36-о място сред най-влиятелните личности в света за 2018 г. – на първо място по влияние сред корейците, изпреварвайки Пан Ки-мун и Ли Кун-хи (председателя на концерна "Samsung").

Управлението на Ким Чен Ун е белязано с продължаването на разработките на ракетно и ядрено оръжие, изстрелване на космически спътници, провеждане на икономически реформи, развитие на приятелските отношения с Китайската народна република, а също и с колебания в отношенията с Южна Корея и страните от Запада: от рязко влошаване през 2015 – 2017 години до размразяване през 2018 г.

Ранен живот
Ким Чен Ун е най-малкият от трите сина на Ким Чен Ир. Докато баща му е на власт, Ун е непознат за обществеността. Според някои сведения, той е получил образованието си в международно училище в швейцарския кантон Берн. В периода 2002 – 2007 г. учи във Военния университет Ким Ир Сен в Пхенян. Вече завършил, Ун започва да придружава баща си при инспектирането на армията. По това време се счита, че той работи или за Корейската работническа партия, или за Генералното политбюро към армията.

Слухове, че той се подготвя за евентуален наследник на баща си, се появяват още през 2009 г. Появява се като кандидат във Върховното народно събрание на КНДР още същата година, а през април е назначен във влиятелната Държавна комисия по отбрана. Председателят на комисията е баща му, Ким Чен Ир. Към юни 2009 г. е назначен за началник на Департамента за държавна сигурност – правителствен орган, отговорен за политическия контрол и контраразузнаването.

През септември 2010 г. Ким Чен Ун е повишен на четиризвезден генерал, макар дотогава да няма военен опит. През следващата година става все по-ясно, че именно той ще е наследникът на Ким Чен Ир. След като баща му умира през декември 2011 г., Ким Чен Ун е провъзгласен за върховен водач на страната – неофициална титла, която все пак означава, че той ръководи както правителството, така и въоръжените сили на Северна Корея.

През април 2012 г. статутът му се легитимира чрез присвояването на няколко държавни поста: първи секретар на Корейската работническа партия, председател на Централната военна комисия и председател на Държавната комисия по отбрана. Той залага на национална стратегия, предвиждаща развиване на икономиката успоредно с въоръжените сили.

Държавен глава
Ранните години на управлението на Ким Чен Ун се характеризират с безмилостна консолидация на властта и рязко ускоряване на ядрената програма на страната. През декември 2013 г. той екзекутира чичо си, Чан Сон таек, обвинявайки го в заговор за преврат. Чичо му е част от близкото му приближение и служи като регент след смъртта на баща му. Тъй като чичо му е силен поддръжник на близките отношения с Китай, екзекуцията му бележи и известно влошаване в отношенията между двете страни.

Под ръководството на Ким Чен Ун, ядрената програма на държавата ту тръгва, ту се спира. След февруари 2013 г., когато е проведен първият ядрен опит под управлението на Ун, темпото както на подземните детонации, така и на опитите с ракети с голям обсег драстично се ускорява. Към 2017 г. Северна Корея вече е провела общо шест ядрени опита, включително един на устройство, което, според севернокорейски сведения, може да се прикачи към междуконтинентална балистична ракета. Тъй като вече значителна част от територията на САЩ теоретично попада в обсега на севернокорейските ядрени ракети, избухва словесен двубой между Ким Чен Ун и американския президент Доналд Тръмп.

Докато Вашингтон и Пхенян са се впуснали в постоянен обмен на обиди и бомбастична реторика, Ким започва чаровна офанзива у дома. Избирането на Мун Дже-Ин от Демократическата партия "Заедно" за президент на Южна Корея през май 2017 г. отваря вратите за потенциални преговори между Северна и Южна Корея. В дните преди Зимните олимпийски игри през 2018 г. в Пьонгчанг (Южна Корея), двете страни предприемат диалог, който води до това, че севернокорейските и южнокорейски атлети излизат заедно на церемонията по откриването като един отбор и под знаме, изобразяващо обединена Корея. Сестрата на Ким Чен Ун, Ким Йо чонг, присъства на игрите, ставайки първият член на севернокорейското управляващо семейство, посетил Южна Корея след края на Корейската война. В хода на историческа среща с Мун Дже-Ин от 10 февруари 2018 г., Йо чонг дава ръкописно написана бележка от брат си, в която той кани южнокорейския президент на визита в Пхенян "възможно най-скоро".

Още на следващия месец, Ким Чен Ун е домакин на администрацията на Мун на вечеря в Пхенян – първата такава среща, която провежда с южнокорейски държавни служители, след като поема управлението на страната през 2011 г. По това време Ким Чен Ун заявява, че е готов за преговори за елиминиране на севернокорейския ядрен арсенал, ако САЩ могат да гарантират сигурността на Северна Корея и режима ѝ. На 27 април 2018 г. Ким Чен Ун и Мун Дже-Ин провеждат историческа среща в "селището на мира" Панминчжон – това е първият път, когато лидерите на двете държави се срещат лице в лице от много години насам. Двамата дискутират ядреното разоръжаване на Корейския полуостров и сключване на примирие, което да сложи официално край на Корейската война.

На 12 юни 2018 г., за пръв път в историята, лидерите на САЩ и Северна Корея се срещат лице в лице. По време на срещата, Ким Чен Ун обещава да работи в посока пълно ядрено разоръжаване на полуострова, докато Тръмп обещава да сложи край на съвместните военни учения между САЩ и Южна Корея. През следващите години севернокорейският лидер се среща още няколко пъти с Тръмп. На 25 април 2019 г. Ким Чен Ун се среща за пръв път и с руския президент Владимир Путин във Владивосток.

Martin Center column focuses on closing of NCSU Confucius Institute
Rachelle Peterson writes for the Martin Center about the latest closing of a Confucius Institute on an American college campus.
North Carolina State University is the latest university to announce plans to close its Confucius Institute. Ten American colleges and universities have parted ways with these Chinese government-funded centers, seven of them in the last 14 months.
The Chinese government funds some 500 Confucius Institutes at colleges and universities around the world, and 107 in the United States. Each one comes with teachers and textbooks chosen and paid for by the Chinese government, along with about $100,000 in annual operating funds.
In exchange, China gains a key opportunity to shape the minds of college students and an easy way to monitor American scholars of China and Chinese students studying abroad. FBI director Christopher Wray has also testified to evidence of espionage in Confucius Institutes.
Confucius Institutes have become the subject of increasing national scrutiny in the last year—in large part because of growing reports that China uses Confucius Institutes to stifle academic freedom. They also present a conveniently rosy picture of China that leaves out the Tiananmen Square Massacre, the 1 million Uyghurs now held in concentration camps, and the authoritarian grip of the Chinese Communist Party.
On This Day in NC | January 27, 1788
Governor Cooper changes his stripes — again.
It's that time of year. . .


During my long international business career I have met some outstanding personalities such as Nelson Mandela and Fidel Castro.
And a couple of years ago, while serving as Chairman and CEO of Thomas Cook, I met His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on more than one occasion.
We discussed ways to promote international tourism into Dubai without being exposed to some of the negative side effects that often go along with this industry.
I have been extremely impressed not only by Sheikh Mohammed's vision but also by some of the principles he has adopted to make this vision become real: Competition, accountability, fairness, patriotism and cultural sensitivity. During those meetings I became a firm believer in the future of Dubai and the sustainability of his vision – and last but not least I also became an investor in the local economy.
The current so-called crisis will not only be overcome but bears within itself the poissibility of becoming a new spring for Dubai's economy. Dubai has experienced a tremor, which is pretty normal as gigantic projects and large economies are naturally susceptible to tremors.
Companies and investors will have to be accountable and must mitigate the risks and leverage the opportunities of each of their investments.
And mistakes are part of business – as long as we learn from them and don't repeat them. This is about corporate learning as much as government learning, as you have to strike a balance between neo-liberalism and local needs. But like a flower that opens itself up for the first ray of sunshine after a stormy night, Dubai's infrastructure has the unique potential to support further diversification into other industries.
Most of Dubai's existing economy – which includes business, tourism, shipping, trade and logistics – is still viable and has enormous growth potential. And the only way to protect the economic advantages built up over the last 30 years is to move ahead with diversification of industries, skills, population and, as a consequence, finance.
So the season of spring has just started and a long and hot summer is still to come. Business knowledge, media, technology and biotechnology are all high value added and export oriented sectors, which will benefit from Dubai's existing infrastructure, the financial hub and the unique geographic position.
The emirate is open and multicultural without neglecting its culture and heritage. It provides a quality of life most people around the globe can only dream about, embedded in a stable political and economical environment.
Dubai is a dream and most of us humans still try to make their dreams come true. And it is a job machine as every job created in the tourism industry creates another job in the surrounding service industry.
So what is the driver of diversification and what would drive further growth in the tourism sector? Competition!
With this in mind future tourism growth will probably also depend on the government's aviation policy. The new Al Maktoum Airport, which will open in June next year, will kickstart further growth. It requires a liberal aviation policy, truly open skies with no restrictions for any airline to operate to any destination from this airport or to place aircraft there.
As the CEO of Jazeera Airways, I would love to start operating from this state-of-the-art airport, if we were allowed to compete, if we could fly to any destination and bring tourists, and business people, into Dubai.
We would love to challenge Emirates, flydubai and the rest – in the end for our benefit as well as that of customers and Dubai. And I assume that other airlines would happily join in. Competition is a horizontal concept between companies in the same sector, but it drives vertical changes in the upstream and downstream sectors as well.
In this case it would drive local Dubai GDP growth outside construction and real estate. Basically, competition is like fitness training for all the participants – it keeps the aviation sector focused, healthy and consumer-driven.
Part of the further growth strategies for tourism might involve being more open to selected long-term residents and real estate investors from foreign countries. Of course, a move like that has to considered carefully and tightly managed as we have to avoid making Emiratis feel like foreigners in their own country. But this could be part of a long-term growth strategy which would help Dubai to become less dependent on a single industry and foreign investment.


SourcePoint Therapy ® is a simple non-invasive energetic approach to healing intended to support and enhance whatever modality you are using as a practitioner or receiving as a client.
SourcePoint Therapy® works with points in the human energy field that connect the physical body directly to the blueprint of health: the information of order, balance, harmony and flow inherent in the body and in the universal energy of Source.
SourcePoint Therapy® teaches and uses a body scanning technique that locates energetic blockages in the body that obstruct the fundamental information of order, balance, harmony, and flow from manifesting in the physical body.
SourcePoint Therapy® is simple to learn and to use. It supports the health of the individual as it reconnects the body and its energy fields to the fundamental information of health.
Who can benefit from SourcePoint Therapy® training? Bodyworkers (Massage Therapists, Cranial-Sacral Therapists, Rolfers, etc.), Acupuncturists, Medical Doctors, Polarity Therapists, Physical Therapists, Nurses, Psychotherapists and in general anyone interested in supporting their own health, or that of family and friends, through simple energy work methods.
SourcePoint Therapy® is a simple, non-invasive approach to energy work. It provides an energetic container and context for whatever other modalities we use to help others or ourselves. It is intended to support, not replace, healing work that is done at the physical or psychological level and is not intended to be a stand-alone modality of therapeutic work. This book introduces you to the basic principles and practices of SourcePoint. The fundamental premise of SourcePoint is that there is a universal energy field in which we dwell, and that we are a part of. We call this universal energy simply Source. This universal energy field contains the information of Order, Balance, Harmony and Flow necessary to create and sustain life; within it are found blueprints for all forms of life. In SourcePoint our intention is to provide a means of connecting specifically with the Blueprint of health for the human being. This energetic template contains the information necessary to sustain physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health, including that of the highest potential we have as human beings. We can access this Blueprint for the benefit of others and ourselves. The body has an inherent capacity to "download" this information of health. In this book you will find a thorough exploration of the concept of the Blueprint of Health throughout human history, from the perspective of many philosophical, spiritual and healing traditions, as well as a description of the practices of SourcePoint Therapy and simple meditative practices that can help you connect directly and personally with the Blueprint of Health.

Requirements applied by UL to Panelboards (covered in the Standard for Panelboards, UL 67) were recently revised to specify that drilling is acceptable in a panelboard enclosure if such openings are indicated by drill points and the manufacturer provides details to address how drill points may be provided. These requirements note that drill points may be applied at the factory, by use of a template, or other equivalent means: See document.
Eaton has identified a potential nonconformance with certain Eaton Heavy Duty 30A and 60A Safety Switches. The safety switch can potentially supply power when the handle is in the "off" position, subjecting the operator of the switch or any downstream equipment to risk of serious bodily injury or death.
This issue affects various configurations of 30A and 60A Heavy Duty safety switches manufactured between November 19, 2015 and January 23, 2018.
Please see Appendix B for a complete list of affected catalog number prefixes. Potentially affected switches can be identified using the information identified in Figures 1 and 2.
Eaton has identified a potential nonconformance that results in an exposed, 42 AWG wire (0.07 mm diameter) used in the indicating circuit of the CUBEFuse. The indicating wire may be exposed to the front or back of the fuse, thereby eliminating its finger safe characteristics. Any non-conforming CUBEFuse will still interrupt overloads and short-circuits.
Please read document for information regarding properly installing the external ground.
If highly conductive or corrosive fluids get inside the M18 HIGH DEMAND 9.0 battery pack in sufficient quantities, they can cause the battery pack to fail. Failure can include short-circuit which, in the extreme situation, can result in smoking or fire, even when not in use. Examples of highly conductive or corrosive fluids include seawater, certain industrial chemicals and bleach or bleach-containing products.
Please review the document, at left, for further details.
It has been discovered that there is a quality concern with 30A General Duty Safety Switches manufactured between May 3, 2016 and July 19, 2016 which may contain non-conforming lugs.


Joshua 1:6-7, "Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go."
After the death of Moses God spoke to Joshua about the great responsibility he has to lead Israelites into their promised land. God again and again says to him to be strong and of good courage. Why? Joshua was all the time with Moses because he was assistant to Moses. He saw the murmurings and rebellion of the Israelites and it might have discouraged him. He might have been thinking, "how am I going to lead these people to the Promised Land?" But God says to him, "be strong and of good courage."
We see Another instant in John 20:19-20, "Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be with you." When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.
When Jesus suffered the cruel death on the cross and was buried, His disciples were frightened and so they shut themselves inside their house. All their hopes were buried because of the death of Jesus. They might have thought that everything was over. Not only was their future in dilemma but their lives were in danger. Yes, there was sufficient reason for them to be in the grip of fear.
But Jesus comes in and shows Himself alive and well. He shows Himself triumphant and glorious. Yes, death could not hold Him nor could grave corrupt His body. Are you going through tremendous fear so that you might have lost all your hopes. Did you lose your loved one and it frightened you? Look to Jesus who is the prince of peace who can remove your fear and fill your heart with divine peace. The same God who gave peace to His disciples and to Joshua will give you the peace that passes all understanding. If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior please invite Him in your life and when He will come in He will change everything and will give you perfect peace.
Bible says, "let the mind of Christ be in you". Last time we meditated on the very same subject. We saw that Jesus is holy. He was without sin. He was perfect in all His ways. And He wants us to be holy like Him. Bible clearly states that without holiness no one can ever see God.
So we found that one of the qualities of Jesus or God is holiness. Now today we are going to see some other qualities of Lord Jesus Christ.
Phil 2:8, "And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross".
This verse talks about Lord Jesus Christ. He is God. He was seated at the right hand of Father (God). But when the time was fulfilled He came down in the form of a man to live among us, to go through all the temptations and trials, to suffer like a human being, to taste sorrows and pain like any human being.
Phil 2:6, who, "being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,"
Phil 2:7, "but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men".
He became a bondservant. Why? To save you and me, to die for you and me, to rescue you and me from utter destruction and hell fire. What a great love, what a great sacrifice. Yes, He did every thing for us to save us at any cost. He did not even spare His own life. He left His heavenly glory. He did not have to do all these things. He could have sat on His throne; He could have sat comfortably in heaven. He could have thought, "who cares, Let this generation die and perish, they did sin let them suffer for what they did". He could have thought, "let me make another better and beautiful creation". But no, He did not think that way. That was because of His great love. That was His great compassion. He came down to suffer for you and me, to die for His own creation to save it from utter destruction.
Yes my friend, that is the love of Lord Jesus Christ we cannot compare Him with any other person. We even cannot imagine about this great love. He humbled Himself to the position of a bondservant though He was the creator of the whole universe, though He was the maker of heaven and earth. You cannot find such a great love in anybody else. Many religions are there on the face of this earth. But we do not find from any religion anybody who did die for the sack of human being or were willing to die, but only Lord Jesus Christ did it because He is the creator.
John 10:7, "Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep".
John 10:8, "All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them".
John 10:9, "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture".
Lord Jesus Himself said, "many came before me but they are thieves and robbers". He said, "I am the door". You cannot enter heaven through another door, because there is no other door. You cannot reach heaven thru anybody else because there is no one else who can save you. Only thru Lord Jesus Christ can we get saved and get a place in heaven.
Lord Jesus was humble. He wants the same humbleness in us too. If you are a stiff-necked person, you cannot reach heaven. The person who is humble comes to Calvary's cross and gets his/her redemption. Many are there who call themselves Christians. Many mainline Churches are there who call themselves, Bible believing Church. But it is really sad to say that they do not fully believe in the Bible. They talk about 'LOVE of GOD' but reject the very concept of FORGIVENESS. They talk about feeding the POOR but forget about the poor condition of their SOUL. They talk about CHARITY and many other things, but ignore the concept of SIN.
SIN IS SIN. You cannot ignore the truth of it. Once a person wrote to us and said. You talk about peace but I do not see any peace in your literatures. Instead of it you are giving "Poisoness cool aid" to the people. What is poisoness? In America if you warn about sin it is poisoness. They say, "don't talk about sin as sin but say it is a mistake". Don't talk about the sin of homosexuals (gay and lesbian). It is not sin but because God created them in this way and that is why they are like that. Don't talk about abortion. It is women's right to choose. It is women's right to choose whether she want that baby to live or die. Don't talk about dating. It is love to go with 10 or 20 people. Don't talk about drinking or smoking. We are in a modern society so it is not a problem.
Do you say that all these are allowed, do we become so modern that even forgot how to live morally? Sin is sin don't fool yourself. Don't say that I have become so modern that I can drink in parties. Don't say "this is my right to choose". It is not your right my friend. You cannot live as you want and still think that this is your right. You are not the lawgiver. Remember there is a God who watches everything, who made the laws. You are not exercising your right to abort a baby, no but you are killing a baby. Bible clearly says, "Thou shalt not kill". Murderers will not inherit heaven. You cannot kill and still reach heaven. No it is not possible. Clean your life, fall at the feet of Lord Jesus and beg pardon for your wicked deeds, instead of killing innocent babies. Don't say that you are a homosexual because God made you this way. Certainly not!!! God wiped away Sodom and Gomorrah because of their homosexual life style. God does not delight in sin. If you do not repent from your homosexual life style God will wipe you out.
What the Bible says about Sodom and Gomorrah? God destroyed these cities.
Luke 17:29, "but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all".
Why destroyed, because they were ungodly.
2 Pet 2:6, "and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;"
Gen 13:13, "But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the LORD".
Again it says that they were sexually immoral.
Jude 1:7, "as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire".
Gen 19:5, "And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally."
God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because they were exceedingly wicked not because they were made that way. So you have no excuse.
Humble yourself before God and repent from your sins. King of kings and Lord of lords Jesus Christ became humble for you and me and died on Calvary's cross to save you and me. He was not ashamed though He was God. He was not ashamed to hang on the cruel cross for you and me then why you are ashamed? Why you are standing away from Him? Why don't you become humble and confess your sins. Come to Calvary's cross and ask forgiveness for your sins. He will gladly forgive you and forget your sins and give you eternal life.
He became obedient to the point of death. Lord Jesus was God but still He was obedient in every respect. In the garden of Gethsemane we find that He was so humble. He said (Luke 22:42), "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done." Lord Jesus said, "Not my will but yours be done".
Heb 10:7, " Then I said, 'Behold, I have come; In the volume of the book it is written of Me; To do Your will, O God.'"
Heb 10:9, "then He said, "Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God."
Lord Jesus came to fulfill the will of God the Father. He was ready to do every thing to save the fallen mankind. He was obedient even to the point of death. Yes He suffered and died on Calvary's Cross to redeem us.
Now the question is? Are we obeying God in everything? Do we have a mind to obey God?
What is obedience? To love God with all your heart, mind and soul.
Mat 22:37, "Jesus said to him, " 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' Mat 22:38, "This is the first and great commandment".
Many times people say, "I believe in God, I love God". But what is love? Lord Jesus replied- if you love Me you will follow my commandments. That is real love. Following Him, walking in His ways, walking in holiness, knowing Him personally. That is real love.
We saw two things today. Lord Jesus was humble and He obeyed God in every thing. He humbled himself even to the point of death. He gave His life for you and me. He shed His precious blood so that we can get rid of our sins, so that we can come out of our sorrows, so that we can have eternal life with God, so that we can get rid of our tears and pain, so that we can get rid of our sicknesses. Do you want to get rid of your problems? Do you want to get rid of your tears, pain and depression? Do you want to get rid of your sicknesses? If yes, pray this prayer with me.
Lord Jesus I come to your throne of grace. Lord please come into my heart. Wash away my sins. Give me a life of peace, joy and happiness. Please come into my heart. Restore my broken life. Forgive my sins. You died for me; you shed your precious blood for me. Please come into my heart and remove all the depression and pain. Make me a new creation this day. I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
Let us analyze this Hadith and see what does it say?
This Hadith says that Mohammed is not in heaven right now but he is waiting for the 'Day of Judgment' to go into heaven and he will be the first to cross the bridge to go to heaven as we read this, "Then Allah will come to them again and say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord.' Allah will call them, and As-Sirat (a bridge) will be laid across Hell and I (Muhammad) shall be the first amongst the Apostles to cross it with my followers. Nobody except the Apostles will then be able to speak and they will be saying then, 'O Allah! Save us. O Allah Save us.' "
Hadith Volume 1, Book 8, Number 345 also says that while Mohammed was in this world he ascended into heaven and saw many prophets and other Bible characters like Adam, Moses, Jesus and Abraham. And he saw the paradise while he was still alive and on this earth but why he should wait to go to heaven after his death? I asked many Muslims where Mohammed is right now and why he is waiting for the 'Day of Judgment? Why he could not reach heaven while he saw many ancient prophets and the first human of this planet earth - Adam who lived many thousands of years before Mohammed. All are in heaven but Mohammed says, he will reach heaven on the Day of Judgment, why? But no Muslim could reply these questions.
Yes, my friend, death is not the end of your life. There is a life after death and the God of the Bible promised heaven for those whose sins are forgiven. All the Bible prophets were dead sure that they are going to heaven after death but Mohammed was not. It is because Allah does not promise eternal life for anybody. The Hadith further says that Mohammed will say, 'O Allah! Save us. O Allah Save us.' But the Bible says that there is no hope after death for our salvation. We have to get salvation in this world itself as we read in Isaiah 38:17-18, "Indeed it was for my own peace That I had great bitterness; But You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption, For You have cast all my sins behind Your back. For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth.
When David sinned against God, he asked God to restore the joy of salvation as we read in Psalms 51:12, "Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit."
David was saved when he was in this world itself. Isaiah got the forgiveness of his sins while he was in this world itself. So Bible makes it clear that we have to get saved in this world itself and that after death there is no hope to know God or to get salvation.
The same Hadith that I quoted above says this, "He will order the angels to take out of Hell those who worshipped none but Him alone. The angels will take them out by recognizing them from the traces of prostrations, for Allah has forbidden the (Hell) fire to eat away those traces. So they will come out of the Fire, it will eat away the whole of the human body except the marks of the prostrations. At that time they will come out of the Fire as mere skeletons. The Water of Life will be poured on them and as a result they will grow like the seeds growing on the bank of flowing water....."
This Hadith clearly says that the followers of Allah are going straight to hell fire as this Hadith says that Allah will order the angels to take out of Hell those who worshipped none but Allah alone. And angels will recognize them by the marks of prostrations.
But how sad it is that Muslims are waiting to go to this horrible place. How sad it is that they are following a god who promised hell fire for them. How sad it is that they put all their trust and belief on Allah with all their heart and with all their passion just to go to Hell fire! But no, there is a way out, there is a God who gives eternal life and heaven to His followers whose name is Jesus. Jesus said in John 5:24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
Yes, after death there is no chance to come out of hell fire but you can have assurance of heaven in this world itself through Jesus. Further this Hadith says, "So they will come out of the Fire, it will eat away from the whole of the human body except the marks of the prostrations. At that time they will come out of the Fire as mere skeletons. The Water of Life will be poured on them and as a result they will grow like the seeds growing on the bank of flowing water"
But this is not true saying! Jesus came to give the "living water" or 'Water of Life' while we are in this world itself. Jesus said to the Samaritan woman in John 4:10, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
We can receive this living water i.e. Holy Spirit in this world itself. When Jesus was about to go from this world He promised to send His Holy Spirit and He fulfilled His promise. After 50 days of His ascension to heaven He sent His Holy Spirit and filled them. (Acts 2:4) And Jesus also said in John 7:38 "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."
Yes, my friend, you need not to wait till the 'Day of Judgment' and after being removed from hell fire as the Hadith says, but living water is available freely for you when you are still in this world. You can receive this living water and live forever and forever in heaven!
So we can clearly draw a line between Allah and Elohim and we can say that Allah and Elohim are not same God but opposite to each other. If they are the same God then why did they promise two different things? Both of them should have promised heaven and eternal life. But we can see that Allah promised hell fire and eternal doom for his followers but Elohim/Yahweh/Jesus promised heaven and eternal life for His followers!
Loving Jesus, I am a sinner and I know that by my own efforts I can not achieve forgiveness of my sins or salvation. Please save me from my sins and hell fire and please give me eternal life so that I may never go into hell fire but have eternal life and live in peace and joy with you. Please save me Lord. I confess all my sins before you and I invite you to come into my life. Please come into my life and give me assurance of heaven. Thank you for listening to my prayers. I give you all the glory. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.

2) The number of fines broken down by size and type (e.g. suspended, part-suspended, or levied) as well as the total value of these fines;
3) Have any other forms of disciplinary action been taken (e.g. any form of community service, or warning letters being issued)?
4) How many students have been sent down* for Covid-19 related offences during this time period (*this includes any variation of rusticating, temporarily suspended, being asked to leave college accommodation or any other meaning of 'sent down')?
5) How much did the college earn through decanal fines in the same time period, last year.
Could you also break down this information into a termly basis i.e. the answers for the above in Michaelmas 2020, in Hilary 2021 and then a total for both terms?

Pundits are trying to predict the impact of Hurricane Sandy on politics, economics etc. We have been curious about the impact on non-farm payrolls this Friday, and weekly jobless claims this Thursday. the BEA has now announced that they may have to delay the results.
RBC Capital is out with an extremely interesting report on Hurricane Sandy. In short, it shows that not only are predictions wrong, (underestimated or overestimated), but sometimes the exact opposite of what analysts predict occurs. Therefore, all these forecasts for Hurricane Sandy are likely wrong. Value investors will not be surprised, but the data is still quite fascinating. Below is a summary of their points.
1) It typically takes a storm on the scale of hurricane Katrina to move the needle in terms of economic data, no one knows if Hurricane Sandy will be as strong.
2) There is the question of rebuilding, which most think of as a boon for GDP. The problem is that while rebuilding efforts in aggregate can easily become a significant percentage of GDP, the impact is generally spread out over multiple quarters or even years, thereby diminishing the economic impact in the short-term.
In a nutshell, while the fundamental data from the 2005 period was considerably impacted by the 2005 storms (Katrina/Rita/Wilma), the 2004 season (Charley/Ivan/Frances/Jeanne) had a very subdued effect on the numbers – despite several major hurricanes that year. The 2005 events elicited a pop in jobless claims, sharp drop in consumer confidence and a notable decline in industrial production. Compared to the prevailing three-month trend at the time, claims were 46K higher, consumer confidence was 19 points lower (Michigan and Conference Board averages) and industrial production slowed 1.1%. By comparison, the 2004 season saw no such deviation. In fact, claims and production actually improved.
There were similar discrepancies on the inflation front as well. Headline consumer prices jumped 1.4% m/m on the back of the 2005 storms – or 0.9 percentage points above the three-month trend. The increase was driven by a 5.3% m/m surge in the household energy component, as natural gas facilities were severely disrupted. Moreover, gasoline pump prices ticked up nearly 70 cents per gallon – or the equivalent of roughly a $7 billion hit to consumer pocketbooks for the month. The 2004 experience was less than noteworthy. During that period, headline CPI did not deviate from the recent trend and household energy was actually 0.7ppt BELOW trend. Gasoline prices rose a mere 10 cents in the face of the four major hurricanes. In summary, we would need to see a Katrina-like event to set off a chain reaction of worsening employment, weaker confidence, slower production, and higher inflation before Hurricane Sandy has any short term impact on the economy.

* Wall Drug in Wall, SD, still serves free glasses of ice water to travelers and coffee for 5 cents a cup.


Fabulous tour! Claudio, Antonio and Melanie were Awesome!!!
Expected to see more body casts though, we only saw 1.
Pompeii was amazing. The guides were great. The only thing that was disappointing, was we were unable to go to Mt. Vesuvius and as a filler, you added the archaeological museum and just dropped us off at 2 p.m. when we weren't supposed to return until 5:30!I feel we were shorted, plus no guide for what was suppose to be guided. We should have been given an option or compensated and returned to original pickup place. instead, we had to take the Metro!
Chez (spelling ?) was very pleasant and helpful. Going to Mount Vesuvius first in the morning was brilliant because the weather was a little cooler. The walk was challenging but he told us that before we started. Lunch was really nice at a local winery. The wine pairing with each course was a nice touch. That afternoon we went to Pompei and was educated by a wonderful, interesting guide named Bernadette (I think). She was a wealth of information. We loved it.
The Pompeii tour was amazing and very informative. It involves a bit of walking but very much worth it. Mt. Vesuvius tour was a little disappointing, but not due to the tour company. An unforseen natural event took place and was not able to fully view the volcano. Lunch and wine tasting, however, was simple splendid. We especially enjoyed the wine tasting.
The main reason I chose this tour was for the winery on Mt Vesuvius and it did not disappoint. The winery was beautiful with the mountain rising in the background and the wine tasted really interesting no surprises that it's from a volcano area. The lunch was also superb - a three course meal with wine served throughout.
The tour guides were also a lot of fun, particularly our guide on the coach and our guide in Pompeii. Both were very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. They made the tour a lot of fun and very interesting.
It was a nice touch to have a glass of wine from the winery at the top of Mt Vesuvius! It was well deserved after a tough climb in the heat/direct sun.
Left from the Naples train station, easy to find meeting point. Pompeii was just amazing and we had such a great guide. I don't have his name but he was the cutest ,older gentleman, highly educated and informed on Pompeii, and had jokes for us all! I believe he was born and raised in Pompeii which gave him a difference perspective I believe. The winery was nice with lunch. Not much wine given for the tastings but wasn't a big deal. Mt. Vesuvius was interesting and I recommend walking to the top to see not only what the crater looks like but the views. We had a great day and came away feeling way more educated on this area!
This tour was an incredible experience! Our group consisted of only 3 people and our guide, Cesare. Starting at the Starhotels Terminus, our driver, Pasquale, safely brought us in a private car to Pompeii 15-20 minutes and heard some interesting facts about Naples, Pompeii, and Vesuvius. When we arrived in Pompeii, we met our personal guide, Giorgio, who showed us through a section of Pompeii you would need several days to see everything. Giorgio was amazing and set himself apart from other tour guides as we went to areas where larger groups could not go as he shared interesting facts about Pompeii and the innovative Romans. At the end of the tour, Cesare picked us up and showed us a cammeo shop where we got to see an artist making cammeos by hand. After a brief period of free time where you can taste limoncello and browse surrounding stalls be careful of the aggressive sales tactics of the merchants on the street, Cesare/Pasquale took us to Cantina del Vesuvio where we got a short tour of the winery followed by wine tasting and lunch. The food, wine, and view of Mt. Vesuvius alone was worth the price of the entire tour! Following lunch, Cesare/Pasquale took us to the highest point on Mt. Vesuvius where vehicles can go before allowing us plenty of time to hike to the summit for a breathtaking view of the Bay of Naples!


This is one of the most beautiful venues that I have ever seen for a wedding setting. I recently went to my cousin's wedding at this country club, and they do a great job throwing an exquisite ceremony and entertaining reception. The views that were available were extremely pleasing, even though this country club is located so close to the city. The amazing coloring of the golf course mixed in with the blues of the water made for a delightful and pleasing setting. The reception was also of the utmost in excellence. The food was simply superb and the bar selection was top notch. All the staff members involved were performing to the best of their ability and always of an accommodating demeanor. Whenever the guests needed help finding specific areas in the club, or other inquiries the staff was always responsive and distributive of effective reactions. The amenities inside the club were wonderful. Everything was clean and in order. All of the facilities were up to date and in working condition. When a particular family member became somewhat intoxicated the staff's response was quite memorable. This particular person began to make somewhat of a ruckus. The staff, instead of throwing out this individual understood that they had clearly had too much to drink and politely asked them to decease their behavior. They then called them a cab and made sure that they got home safe. It is instances like this that remind me how comforting a location can be when they take the time to employ the right staff and keep standards alive. Sherwood Oaks is a grand location for any wedding.

Good for the Environment and the Bottom LineBy Robert Hoshowsky
Based in Southwest Florida, Babcock Ranch is a planned community that aims to be the first city in the United States powered almost entirely by solar energy. Homeowners just started moving into the community earlier this year.
If you are curious about sustainable communities that blend cutting-edge technology, renewable energy sources and careful planning to create 'smart,' liveable, low-carbon footprint municipalities, check out Babcock Ranch.
Babcock Ranch is one of the more visible examples of a growing trend towards green construction methods. Green or sustainable construction emphasizes water and energy conservation, using recycled construction materials and avoiding toxic chemicals in paint and other substances. Sustainable communities, meanwhile, feature lots of green space, affordable housing, renewable energy sources, efficient waste and water management and comprehensive public transit. Such eco-friendly initiatives are often complemented by technological measures such as widespread broadband Internet connectivity. In so-called smart communities, businesses, residents and local government are receptive to Information Technology (IT) initiatives.
Sustainability is a trend worth paying attention to and not just to save the planet; green construction is rapidly becoming an area that generates a great deal of revenue. Between 2011 and 2014, the green construction sector generated $167.4 billion in the United States and supported over 2.1 million jobs, states a study released September 2015 by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Between 2015 and 2018, the study predicts green construction will generate another $303.4 billion in GDP and support 3.9 million jobs.
Given such impressive figures, it is no surprise that Babcock Ranch is a well-planned, well-funded project. The concept originated with Kitson & Partners, a real-estate development company. Kitson & Partners acquired a vast amount of land to kick-start the project. In 2006, the company sold 73,000 acres of this property to the state of Florida for preservation while earmarking 18,000 acres for what was to become Babcock Ranch. In 2009, Kitson & Partners teamed with Florida Power & Light to make Babcock Ranch a solar power showcase.
Sun energy in Babcock Ranch is gathered through solar panels on the rooftops of commercial buildings and at a solar energy centre, which is situated near the town and contains more than 300,000 solar panels. The community also features 'solar tree' installations that can be used to charge phones and other handheld devices.
When the sun is shining during the day, electricity is generated at a solar plant. At night, the town draws energy from a natural gas power plant. Individual homeowners in Babcock Ranch are encouraged to install their own solar panels to reduce their energy bills further. The power system in Babcock Ranch went online in early 2017, even before anyone lived in the community.
Property guidelines in Babcock Ranch compel homeowners to plant native trees and shrubs –which do not require much water – for most of their landscaping. The town has rain gardens, community gardens, lots of green space and a walkable layout to reduce the use of cars. Homes are built according to Florida Green Building Coalition code standards.
Babcock Ranch is also a 'smart' community; each home and business in the place has a gigabyte worth of fibre-optic connectivity. A 'smart grid' electrical distribution system is designed to maximize energy efficiency. There is also a transit system based around autonomous, electric-powered shuttles.
Construction on the first private homes and commercial buildings in Babcock Ranch commenced September 2016, with the first homeowners moving in January 2018. There are newly-opened restaurants, retail outlets and a school in the community, and the area is crisscrossed with biking and hiking trails and lakes.
Babcock Ranch is designed for thousands of residents, not millions. Still, this smallish community highlights measures big cities can implement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, energy costs and reliance on fossil fuels while creating more liveable, IT-friendly environments.
One simple measure that cities can adopt is to encourage contractors to participate in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program, created by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). LEED sets criteria to conserve energy and water use in buildings, reduce waste sent to landfill sites and facilitate clean air flow and natural light, among other measures. Buildings that pass muster can be promoted as LEED certified or LEED Silver, Gold or Platinum.
According to the USGBC, more than 90,000 projects around the world, in over 160 countries, have followed LEED building practises. The council estimates that "nearly five million people experience a LEED building on a daily basis."
One alluring goal is to create a 'zero-energy' or near-zero building, which is defined as a building that consumes the same amount of energy per year that it creates on-site, through solar panels, wind turbines or other methods. This is a pretty high bar to obtain, so a simple green roof – having a garden on the rooftop of a commercial or residential building – might be a more realistic goal. A green roof can improve air quality, absorb heat in summer and soak up rain-water, so it is less likely to leak through the roof or overwhelm a runoff system.
LEED is also growing in popularity as part of the larger green construction trend. The 2015 Green Building Economic Impact Study from the USGBC estimates that by 2018, LEED-related construction projects will support some 1.4 million jobs in the United States, while providing $95.7 billion in labour earnings.
It is not hard to figure out why LEED standards and green buildings are popular; people like living and working in them. Productivity and workforce retention increase in healthy buildings. Owners appreciate the reduced maintenance costs, and real-estate agents can use the green angle for promotion. Plus, federal, state and local loans or tax credits are often available for contractors who follow green standards.
LEED is not just for individual buildings anymore. Last year, the USGBC launched a pilot "LEED for Cities and Communities" certification program. Participating municipalities could be rated on measures such as water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, solid waste and stormwater management, crime, education, transportation infrastructure, affordable housing and air quality index. Cities could earn points by submitting plans for carbon reduction, disaster preparedness or maintaining healthy communities.
In December 2017, Arlington County, Virginia was recognized as the first Platinum level community under the LEED for Communities program, run by the USGBC. Arlington County has a population of around 230,000 people. In the past few years, Arlington launched several municipal initiatives to boost energy efficiency in county government buildings and in county vehicles and infrastructure. A County Community Energy Plan (CEP), approved in 2013, is designed to lower greenhouse gas emissions in building construction through water and energy efficiency.
The same month that Arlington County earned its honours, the City of Phoenix, with a population of 1.6 million people, attained 'LEED for Cities' Platinum certification.
"Phoenix has earned a national reputation for leadership on sustainability, and this prominent certification validates our incredible progress. We've set ambitious goals, and Phoenix will continue to take more steps to divert waste, increase water efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, which benefits us, our environment and our economy," stated Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, in a December 15, 2017 USGBC press release.
Such measures would surely please the USGBC. One of the council's goals, as stated in its 2017-2019 strategic plan, is to increase the number of sustainable and healthy communities and cities in the United States.
Such thinking has come to Canada as well. Last year, the Canadian government launched something called the Smart Cities Challenge. The idea is to encourage communities to embrace connected technology and innovation, with the goal of improving the lives of residents. Money is involved; there is one prize up to $50 million for communities of any size, two prizes up to $10 million for communities under half-a-million people and one prize of up to $5 million for cities under 30,000 people. The challenge is further proof that, in 2018, being a smart, sustainable community can be good for the bottom line as well as the environment.

Our Goal is to Help Off-Roaders Getting Correct Information
What off-Road Vehicle Should I Buy?
Are you in a dilemma about choosing the best off-road vehicle? Don't worry. There is nothing to worry much. Nowadays, lots of off-road beginners faced this difficulty.
However, today I am here with some excellent vehicles which are used in a good number for off-roading. If you are still in the puzzle about choosing the best off-road vehicle, then I will suggest you go through my article. You will be benefited for sure.
What off-road vehicle I should buy
Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison
Land Rover Discovery SVX
Ford F-150 Raptor
The newly designed Wrangler is available. This Gladiator has taken the place of the jeep. This Wrangler is the lengthy Wrangler of all time. This Wrangler is the only which can convert the four-door. pickup. However, the towing ability of this Wrangler is not so good although the Gladiator has a good towing capability of 7650 pounds.
Moreover, This Gladiator has a good automatic transmission speed. It comes with 3.6-Litre V-6 and a six-speed automatic transmission. Otherwise, it offers an eight-speed automatic transmission. The light hydro turbo 2.0 along with the four-cylinder that was offered on Gladiator, isn't available in the Wrangler. However, this Gladiator got light-weight aluminum doors.
This rugged midsize pickup comes for the trails with excellent-exclusive front and rear Multimtic shocks and locking differentials. It has 31-inch beefy tires and 17-inch wheels. This one is devilishly handsome. With protective skid plates, an autocratic transfer case, an aggressive approach and departure angles, This colorado is ready to attack even the toughest terrain with ease. Moreover, In the ZR2 Bison, you will find the advanced Multimatic DSSV shock technology which normally exists on supercars.
Isuzu topper is also a decent choice to an off-roader. But, you need to make sure that you should not buy the 4 cylinder diesel or gasoline model as its performance is not good. Moreover, the 4 wheel drive system is quite capable and many have successfully taken them up and over some huge rocks. They are not abundant as some of the other best 4X4 on this list but are plentiful enough to get one in good shape.
Land Rover is known as the brand of luxury and high end living although its roots lie deep in the heritage of the trail. THE 525-HP supercharged V-8 means the SVX will be able to crack about 150 mph. Without it, this Land Rover has a reputation for driving slowly. The Discovery SVX has added something new for slogging through the mud. The locking rear, departure angles and differential approach and knobby high-sidewall tires will do this job.
F-150 Raptor is renowned for its aggressive-looking off-road vehicle. This F-150 Raptor has a high-output engine that gives it the truck power. Moreover, this F-150 Raptar features an extracted hood, heavy-duty front skid plates and a Terrain management system.
There is also a Baja mode for high-speed desert racing. This Raptor features a locking rear differential with 4.10 gears, which is what the Wrangler Rubicon sports well.
The Toyota Land Cruiser is known as an old-school off-roader with body-on-frame construction. The Land Cruiser scores very highly in terms of wading, towing and low-ratio, grinding it out and driving across the truly tough ground. Moreover, This land cruiser is identifiable by its steel wheels and also genuinely affordable.
However, you can pick the 2.8-liter turbodiesel Toyota which offers an air suspension and seats made of leather. But remember that you aren't going to handle and ride this one like a monocoque SUV from Mercedes-Benz or Audi . It's totally different. But this land cruiser has a good reputation for its mechanical dependability which makes its competitor jealous.

2 bills lay a basis for change in S.L. County
Alan Edwards, Staff Writer
Share All sharing options for: 2 bills lay a basis for change in S.L. County
Changing the form of Salt Lake County government is a step closer to reality.
Two bills, one in the Senate and one in the House, propose various changes and corrections in the law governing change in forms of county government and county service areas.The bills lay the foundation for a new proposal regarding change of county government due to come out of a county advisory committee within the next few months.
"I think we'll have something ready by the end of April," said Bruce Jones, the committee's chairman. "We'll make a recommendation to the County Commission, and we believe that it will be placed on the ballot in November."
The commission is not obligated to approve the committee's recommendation, but commissioners say they will.
"As long as what (they) recommend is legal, yes," Commissioner Mary Callaghan said.
"I pretty much see it that way," Commissioner Randy Horiuchi said. "Everything they've done so far I've supported."
Among other changes, SB133, sponsored by Sen. Mont Evans, R-Riverton, makes clear that a county commission can change its mind after it initiates a change in the form of government - but only up to three months before election day.
"It's to protect the county clerk once they've got the ball rolling and ballots printed," said Sam Klemm, Callaghan's administrative assistant.
Ironically, the change would have outlawed the commission's action last September in which it decided to pull a change-of-government initiative two months before the election. Callaghan and Horiuchi voted to pull it over the objections of Commissioner Brent Overson.
The bill also does such things as clarify the roles of the county auditor and county executive - should there be one - in the budgeting process, and expands, albeit in a very limited way, the forms a county government can take.
Last fall Callaghan proposed a bill vastly expanding the forms of government a county could change to, but ran into opposition from the Utah Association of Counties as well as from fellow commissioners. The part of her bill making technical changes was split out and became SB133.
A second bill, sponsored by Rep. Steve Barth, D-Salt Lake City, makes various changes to county service areas.


but trusts his inner vision.
He allows things to come and go.
His heart is as open as the sky."
A man said to the Bard, "I have a large tree which no carpenter will cut into lumber. It's Branches and trunk are crooked and tough, covered with bumps and depressions. No builder would turn his head to look at it. Your teaching is the same as the tree-useless, without value. Therefore no one (no not you No One) pays attention to them."
"As you know," replied the Bard, "a cat is very skilled at capturing its prey. Crouching low, it can leap in any direction, pursuing whatever it is after. Yet when its attention is focused on such things, it can easily be caught with a net. On the other hand, A huge yak is not easily caught or overcome. It stands like a stone, or a cloud in the sky. Still, for all its strength, it cannot catch a mouse.
You complain that your tree is not valuable as lumber. But you could make use of the shade it provides, rest under its sheltering branches, and stroll beneath it, admiring its charecter and appearance. Since it is not endangered by an axe, what could threaten its existence? It is useless to you because you only wish to make it into something else and do not recognize its true form or use it in its proper way."
(borrowed and adapted from the writings of Chuang-Tse).
Oooo that is so perfect, dear heart. What a wonderful start to this thread. Now I will have to get out mu copies of the Art of War and reply with some Sun Tzu! Too, there are the Native American wisdom I work with and many appropriate teachings.
Bard you are, for you have inspired me.
From the Lakhota language meaning all my relations. This thought concept is common to all aboriginal people of Turtle Island (North America). It acknowledges that everything Creator made, even that which (to modern eyes) appears dead or inanimate, is sentient, conscious, and capable of communicating with us. When we utter this phrase we are acknowledging our connection to the listener/reader and to all of creation. We are all related as family, as blood.
