COVID-19 Updates: County sees highest spike in cases last week

The Washoe County Health District reported May 1 48 new cases of COVID-19, the highest spike in new cases that the county has seen.
Heather Kerwin, the epidemiology program manager for the Health District, said this spike is primarily due to family gatherings that occured on April 12, Easter.
Despite being part of your family, being in close proximity with people from outside your household should be avoided, she said. Kerwin is also seeing COVID-19 spread between individuals living in the same household.
"It's really important that we continue to have those household contacts distance from one another, from sick persons within their own household and those household contacts do not continue to go to work as soon as someone in their house has become identified as positive with COVID-19," Kerwin said.
I think we have an opportunity here today to really elevate the discussion of mask usage, distancing, hand washing, to a level of really being a badge of social responsibility."
Social distancing and mask wearing should continue to be practiced, she added. "People who refuse to wear a mask in public or just don't wear masks in public, it's proxy for how seriously or not seriously people are taking this. Whether or not you believe in the fashion of the mask, or the effectiveness of the mask, it really is a group effort and this only works to flatten the curve if everybody participates.
"So, we do know that there are certain occupations, our essential workers are still driving some of these infections in the workplace and then unfortunately bringing it home to their families," Kerwin said.
Testing efforts fall short of targets
Washoe County has been instructed by the state to test 1,000 people for COVID-19 per day. At the county's drive-thru testing site at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center, less than 300 people are getting tested every four days.
Last week, there was a decline in testing with less than 200 people per few days of collection according to Kerwin. The Washoe County Health District said it has the capacity to test everyone that has symptoms of COVID-19, but Kerwin worries some are getting tested too late.
"We do see an increased number in people who are being diagnosed at time of hospitalization, which is concerning because it means that they've waited so long and gotten so severely ill that they're now requiring hospitalization," she said.
So far, nearly 10,000 individuals have been tested in Washoe County according to Washoe County Chair Bob Lucey.
About two percent of Washoe County has been tested for COVID-19.
Nevada National Guard personnel assist Washoe County Health District with COVID-19 sample collection.
Gov. Steve Sisolak said he also needs to see expanded contact tracing in Nevada in order to continue lifting restrictions. The Washoe County Health District has a little over 20 case investigators. Staff, which includes help from members of the Nevada National Guard, contact patients who tested positive for COVID-19 and interview them to determine who could've been exposed.
In an effort to understand the scope of how many people have been exposed, antibody tests have been made available to the public. These tests won't determine if an individual is currently infected with COVID-19, but it will detect if a person's body has created antibodies in response to being exposed to the virus.
In Washoe County, LabCorp patient service centers, including LabCorp at Walgreens locations, can administer antibody tests. Individuals must get prescriptions from their health care or telemedicine provider. One can also order a test from Quest Diagnostics without a doctor's approval for $119.
Antibody tests have been criticized for being inaccurate, however. Some tests have given false positives, leading individuals to think they are immune when they might not be. Antibody tests, also known as serological tests, are not reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
According to the FDA:
FDA does not intend to object when developers of serological tests market or use their tests without prior FDA review where: 1) the tests are validated by the developer to determine that they are accurate and reliable, 2) notification of the developer's validation is provided to FDA, and 3) the tests are labeled appropriately, including that they are not to be used as a sole basis for diagnosis.
Officials weigh in on curbside pickup, testing and health care concerns
The City of Reno on May 1 convened via a virtual press conference to address the importance of seeking health care, capacity for COVID-19 testing and how curbside retail sales can operate in accordance with Gov. Steve Sisolak's reopening plan.
Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve started the meeting urging the community to seek medical and dental services if they need care for something that isn't COVID-19 related. Health care services are deemed essential.
There was never a state-wide directive put in place to halt medical procedures, but hospitals have delayed some procedures to ensure there is enough personal protective equipment (PPE) for health care workers and sufficient hospital capacity to care for COVID-19 patients. Gov. Steve Sisolak announced that necessary medical and dental procedures are to resume.
"When you hold off it becomes much more expensive and much more dire," Schieve said.
Schieve admitted that she's been avoiding getting a root canal herself — and she's not alone. Dr. Bret Frey with the Washoe County Medical Society said individuals have been avoiding going to emergency rooms due to fears of getting exposed to COVID-19, a trend he's seeing nationally and locally.
"These excessive delays, unfortunately and sadly, have led to many people dying, not from coronavirus, but from delays in surgical care, infectious care," Frey said. "Please, I can't stress this enough: if you're out there with serious symptoms, don't hesitate to come and see us in the emergency department."
Health care officials assure that hospitals in Nevada have the capacity to care for patients with COVID-19 symptoms and other medical care needs, and are taking steps to mitigate transmission of the virus. Frey said hospitals in Washoe County are not overwhelmed, despite a recent spike.

Mask wearing and social distancing crucial for business reopenings
Some retailers in Washoe County began curbside pickup over the weekend. Ann Silver, the Chief Executive Officer of the Reno-Sparks Chamber of Commerce, reminded that there must be no physical interaction between staff and customers.
"It means that people order online if you have an online presence," she said. "They order the product, they pay for it over the phone. The business gives you a designated time to drive up in a parking lot, or at the curb, and you pick up that item. It is delivered by employees wearing masks and gloves because we want to keep workers safe and it's placed in a car trunk or in the back of a vehicle. It is not meant to open up craft fairs or curbside tables for display."
Schieve urged large corporations to donate to the Community Foundation of Western Nevada's COVID-19 relief fund to help people who still aren't able to go to work.
"I'm imploring this community, our big businesses, we are so lucky to have you in this community but this is the time that I need you the most," she said. "I need Tesla, I need Amazon, I need Apple, I need our large construction companies, I need you now more than ever, if you can donate to this crisis through the City of Reno. We want to put money in the hands of people who desperately need it right now."
As more businesses gradually reopen and people start to go back to work, continued mask wearing, even if one's glasses get fogged up, will be crucial in order to keep businesses open.
"I think we have an opportunity here today to really elevate the discussion of mask usage, distancing, hand washing, to a level of really being a badge of social responsibility," Dr. Frey said at the press conference. "I think this is not just an important part of how we incrementally open, but it's really a cornerstone of how we stay open."
Sisolak warned if he starts seeing an increase in new COVID-19 cases, he will scale back his reopening plans.

Controlling Thin Films with Atomic "Spray Painting"
High-precision synthesis helps researchers understand oxide thin films
Beth Mundy,
High-precision synthesis and measurements of oxide thin films helped researchers determine how iron affects the way the material functions, for instance in its ability to convert water to oxygen in a fuel cell.

Without thin films, there would be no modern electronics or high-quality mirrors. The semiconductor chips used in our cell phones and computers rely on thin films made of different materials, including metal oxides that contain at least one metal as well as oxygen.
Metal oxide thin films serve as more than just a layer within electronics. They have applications in sensing, catalysis, and energy storage. Creating thin films that can replace the liquid layer in batteries or promote specific chemical transformations requires understanding the materials at an atomic level. At Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), researchers are looking into how to design metal oxide thin films that can be harnessed to produce clean energy.
"I like to think of what we do as spray painting a target with atoms," said PNNL materials scientist and Laboratory Fellow Scott Chambers. His team uses a technique, called molecular beam epitaxy, for depositing elements atom by atom on top of a solid crystal. This enables researchers to make high-quality, crystalline thin films with precise control over their composition and structure.
For example, some thin films always conduct electricity and others do not. By stacking different films, scientists can change how they respond to an electrical current.
"Our ability to develop advanced energy technologies depends on how well we can make thin layers of materials," said Peter Sushko, a materials scientist at PNNL.
Making extremely thin oxide films with high precision requires advanced synthesis equipment. This equipment is moving to a new and larger laboratory in PNNL's Energy Sciences Center (ESC). The Atomically Precise Materials team currently uses two molecular beam epitaxy systems and one pulsed laser deposition instrument. The planned addition of another pulsed laser deposition instrument will expand the team's capacity to create more and different experimental thin films.

Small changes in thin films have significant impacts
Le Wang, a PNNL materials scientist, led a recent study that harnessed atomically precise thin films to make stable high-performance catalysts. They discovered that varying the composition of lanthanum nickel iron oxide (LaNi1-xFexO3 or LNFO) thin films affects their ability to convert water into oxygen. This reaction is important for clean energy production. LNFO has the potential to reduce the need for or replace expensive precious metal-based catalysts.
Previous research demonstrated that replacing some of the nickel with iron in lanthanum nickel oxide increases the material's ability to generate oxygen. However, the exact reason for this enhanced activity was unclear.
The PNNL research team used its high-precision films and instrumentation to address this uncertainty. The work, published in Nano Letters, provides clear evidence and explanations for why mixing nickel and iron leads to more efficient oxygen formation.
The PNNL researchers synthesized a series of high-quality LNFO thin films, from pure lanthanum nickel oxide to lanthanum iron oxide and a range of compositions in between. They also made several high-quality standards, all measured with the same equipment, that enabled researchers to home in on small, but consequential, changes in the electronic structure of the materials.
The small changes showed the iron transferring some of its electrons to the nickel in a process known as charge transfer. The charge transfer makes it easier for the material to convert water to oxygen. Identifying this previously unseen charge transfer gave researchers insight into why LNFO acts as a better catalyst.
Modeling for atomic-scale understanding
The team uses a multi-pronged approach in its research. They synthesize new materials and characterize their structure in the laboratory. However, benchtop experiments have limits to how much detail they can reveal. The team's not-so-secret weapon? Theory.
Combining theory and experiments generates deeper insights into oxide thin films. Computational modeling provides insight into how atoms move on the film surface and how electrons rearrange at scales smaller than the diameter of an atom. In this project, the researchers wanted to see if atoms in simulated LNFO showed the same subtle signs of charge transfer that they observed in the lab.
"It was an exciting day when we got Peter [Sushko]'s calculations back and they matched our experimental data so well," said Wang. "Those results really validated our argument about the importance of charge transfer in LNFO."
Looking to the future of thin films

This research will continue at the ESC, where large windows will spotlight a new high-visibility lab space. Anyone who comes into the ESC lobby will be able to see the researchers making new samples. "We're excited for the window into our science the move will provide for visitors to the ESC," said Sushko. "In addition to the larger laboratory and additional instrumentation, we're all looking forward to being together in the same building."
Up next? The researchers plan to partially replace lanthanum with strontium in the same film system, creating an oxide with four different metals. This will help the team further understand changes in the structures and properties of complex oxide films. Understanding such processes will guide new synthesis efforts to design even better catalysts.
This work is supported by the Department of Energy, Office of Science, Basic Energy Sciences program, Division of Materials Sciences and Engineering.
The research team for the Nano Letters paper includes PNNL's Steven Spurgeon, Bethany Matthews, Mark Bowden, Tiffany Kaspar, Han Wang, Linda Wangoh, Tamas Varga, Theva Thevuthasan, and Yingge Du, along with an international group of collaborators.

In the early 1990s, the Conservative government introduced the community charge, which penalised millions of hardworking families through unprecedented poll tax bills. It was abolished after much opposition and replaced with the council tax.
It is now time for the council tax to be abolished because it is actually a poll tax imposed upon those who have made a lifetime's tax contribution to the country and who should not be taxed any further once they retire.
Council tax bills are dreaded by the elderly couple who have scrimped and saved for decades and who now, when their contributions should be honoured, are compelled to pay even more in taxation even though their income has been cut. The average family pays £1,500 every year regardless of their income.
I believe that we should now abolish this new poll tax, the dreaded council tax imposed without democratic consultation and without consideration for the financial circumstances of those who are forced to pay it.
Working people are being hammered by this pernicious and intrusive tax and it is time it was abolished forthwith and without hesitation. The people of this country have had enough.
Taxation in the modern state should be based on the premise of progressive taxation – namely, the sum of tax to be paid by the citizen should be based on their ability to pay.
The Council Tax Rebellion should now commence.
New unions are championing London's invisible workforce.

Repeat offender sentenced 16 years for illegal firearm
Edward Garlock, 47, made a most wanted list in October 2013.
A Missouri man with prior felony convictions was sentenced July 16 for illegally possessing a firearm, a charge he gained last year following a seven-hour standoff with police, the U.S. Attorney's office said.
A U.S. district judge sentenced 47-year-old Edward Garlock, an armed career criminal, to 16 years and eight months in a federal prison without parole. Garlock was arrested for the felony gun charge in June 2013 and pleaded guilty to it in April.
Under federal law, it is illegal for anyone who has been convicted of a felony to be in possession of any firearms or ammo. Garlock has three prior felony convictions for tampering, as well as prior felony convictions for burglary, resisting arrest, stealing and distributing a controlled substance.
According to court documents, local police went to Garlock's house in Independence around 7 p.m. on June 28, 2013, to arrest him for several outstanding warrants, but Garlock had other ideas.
Garlock's girlfriend told police outside the house that he was armed and hiding under a pile of dirty clothes in the laundry room in the basement. And she also informed police that Garlock had grown paranoid about going back to prison and had suggested that if police showed up he'd "shoot it out" if he were cornered. So needless to say authorities were then hesitant to enter the house.
At first, officers attempted to order Garlock out, but that didn't work. Believing he was a threat, Independence police deployed a Special Response Team, initiating a stand-off that lasted more than seven hours.
At about 2:18 in the morning, the team deployed multiple canisters of CS gas and diversionary devices, and forced their way inside the house. Garlock was taken into custody without further incident.
When police officers searched the house, they found a loaded Phoenix Arms .22-caliber pistol in a closet adjacent to the laundry room.
According to court documents, Garlock told police officers that he bought the gun for $50 about a month earlier and he attempted to hide it before they entered his house. Garlock also admitted to being a habitual drug user with an addiction to methamphetamine.

Aristocratic, cultural, windy and typically Cycladic
Although Tinos is one of the most important religious destinations in Greece, this elegant island remains unexplored and ready to be discovered for its diverse landscapes, serene beaches,historic monuments, rich cultural heritage and verdant nature. Certainly the miraculous church of Panagia of Tinou acts as a magnet for travelers, however Tinos is so much more than a pilgrimage center. Tinos is a center of culture, an open air museumwhere sculpture and painting are used even as part of the architecture, and a premium culinary destination. The gems of the island are the authentic villages, the historic monuments and the rich culinary traditions. Tinos is also a place of spirit and enlightenment. Art, nature and tradition are combined in such a way that is impossible to leave you untouched.
Church of Panagia Tinou: is the symbol of the island and one of the most famous churches in Greece. The church was built in 1823 on the spot where theicon of Virgin Mary was found. This icon was considered miraculous and put inside the church. Today Panagia of Tinou is known as the most miraculouschurch in Greece with thousands of believers reporting miracles, after praying in the church to Virgin Mary. On August 15th thousands of faithful arrive at the island to pilgrimage to Panagia of Tinos. Most of them cover the distance from the port to the Church on their knees to keep a solemn promise to Virgin Mary. As the path is very rough, a red carpet has been placed from the port to the entrance of the church for this reason.The Church has been constructed out of the exquisite Tinos marble. Many local artists have contributed their talent and work to make this grandiose church. The atmosphere inside is solemn and peaceful and definitely worth a visit.
Volax boulders: is one of the most impressive sites of Tinos. Volax village is situated on a site of huge granite rocks that extent over an area of twenty two kilometers. According to geologists, these natural monoliths were most probably created millions of years ago from changes in temperature and humidity. The rocks are of different shapes andprovide quite a unique sight.
Museums: are of great interest in Tinos. Its rich history begins from prehistoric times and carries a strong religious and cultural identity, reflected in the fine exhibits of its museums. The island has a strong tradition in sculpturing and has inspired the creative urge in its people for generations. It is not a coincidence that the world famous sculptor, GiannoulisChalepas is from Tinos. A visit in Tinos will not be complete without visiting few of its impressive collections:
Archaeological Museum: is located in Chora. It hosts a rich collection of vases, amphorae, large clay pots, pottery and household items from excavations all over the island and pieces from the ancient temples of Poseidon and Amphitriti.
Giannoulis Chalepas Museum: contains the work and some of the personal belongings of the worldfamous Tinian sculpture artist Giannoulis Chalepas (1851-1938). The exhibition is in Pyrgos in the same house where the artist spent his final years.
Museum of Marble Craft: presents technology of marble, as well as a detailed description of the necessary equipment and techniques used from ancient times till today. The museum is fully modern and one of its kind in Greece. It is located in Pyrgos.
Tinian Artists Museum: includes sculpture and painting works of Tinian artists. The museum is housed in the Megalochari complex.
Arnados Ecclesiastical Museum: is located in Arnados and contains valuable icons, old books and ecclesiastical objects and holy vestments.
Art Gallery:includes many important works of Greek and foreign artists. The exhibition is housed in a large room in the Megalochari complex.
Costas Tsoclis Musuem: is recently established to promote the contemporary art of the famous Greek artist Costas Tsoclis. The museum is located in Kampos.
Temple of Poseidon and Amphitrite: is located on the way from Chora to Kionia. During the 5th century Tinos flourished as a center of worship of Poseidon. Poseidon, besides being the God of the Sea, was also worshiped as a healer. Faithful would come to the temple and ask for Poseidon to heal them or ensure a fair wind during their journey. In the 3rd century the temple was reconstructed and introduced the worship of Amphitrite, wife of Poseidon and deity of feminine fertility. Today, on site you can see remains of the foundations' of the temples.
Dovecotes (ie. Greek = Peristeriones): are located all around Tinos. They are monuments of exquisite artwork that look like fortresses to attract the doves. Although the exact number of the dovecotes is not known, it is believed that there are more than 600 dovecotes on the island
Exomvourgo Archeological Site: is a landmark of Tinos, located at a height of 640m in the middle of the southern part of the island. The rock was first inhabited during the Copper period. Exomvourgo brought to light remnants of the Geometric and 5-6th century BC, including a temple devoted to Goddess Demetra, along with ruins of old fortifications build in the 13th century AC. On its slopes you will find the church of Iera KardiaIisou (Sacred Heart of Jesus). The rock is also ideal for climbing.
Tinos has more than 45 wonderful villages that captivate visitors with theirelegant Cycladicelements and natural beauty. Walking through them you gives you a perfect sense of the island's culturalheritage, traditions and prosperity. Some of the most enchanting villages of Tinos are:
Tinos town (Chora)
Tinos town (Chora) is the capital and harbor of Tinos. The first impression one has when arriving at Tinos port is that it resembles more of an urban city than a picturesque Cycladic village. However, behind the dock lies a charming settlement with a traditional atmosphere and many 19th century elements. Walking though its alleys you will discover old mansions and churches, marble fountains and cobblestone paths that indicate past economic and social prosperity. Being the capital, Chora is filled with traditional restaurants, tavernas, pastry shops, cafes, bars and accommodations. The most important monument of Chora is Panagia of Tinou, which hosts the miraculous icon of Virgin Mary and is considered one of the most important pilgrimage centers in Greece. Panagia of Tinou is also and the protector of all Greece. Other sites include the Textile School, the chapel of St. Nicholas Catholic church, the Tinian Artists Museum, the Art Gallery, the Cultural Foundation of Tinos and the Temple of Poseidon and Amphitrite.
Pyrgos is the birthplace of many famous Tinian artists like Chalepas, Filippotis, Lytras and others. It is one of the largest and most beautiful villages in Tinos. The first thing you will notice when visiting Pyrgos is the marble creations. Marble exists everywhere you look in the village, on sculptures, above the house doors, on the fountains, even on the tables of the small kafeneios in the main square. This lavish use of marble makes Pyrgos an outdoor architectural museum and a unique place to visit. In Pyrgos you will find the museum of the world famous sculptor Giannoulis Chalepas, the Museum of Fine Arts and the modern Museum of Marble Art.
Isternia is a traditional village built amphitheatrically in the slope of the mountain Meroviglia, overlooking the island of Syros and offering particularly picturesque views at sunset. It is a village of white houses and paved alleys, filled with many visible sculptures and works of art. The entire village serves as anopen airmuseum of fine marble sculpture. Actually, Isternia has a long tradition in sculpture and is the birthplace of many famous Greek sculptors like Vitalis, Latena and Sochou. Worth visiting sights include the Museum of Isternian Artists, the church of Agia Paraskevi, the ruined windmills on the north side of the village and the beautiful marble paved road that connects the village with the Isternia bay.
Panormos is a seaside resort located on the northeastern side of the island. Its Cycladic architecture with white houses with blue doors and window frames attract each summer many visitors. In fact Panormos is considered one of the most popular destinations in Tinos. The village has a small port where fishing boats can moor. Around the dock you will find many tavernas and cafes. Panormos' cosmopolitan beaches are also very popular amongst youngsters.
Volax
Volax is a one of the oldest villages in Tinos best known for thegiant rocks that are surround the village. According to geologists, these natural monoliths were most probably created millions of years ago from changes in temperature and humidity. The rocks are of different shapes and provide a unique sight. On the village you will few tavernas and shops and an open air theater where summer performances are given. There is also a folk museum with everyday objects from the 19th century. Do not forget to get a wicker basket souvenir from Volax. Basketry is still the main occupation among its population, and their work is of course for sale.

Poseidon and the snakes of Tinos
In ancient times, Tinos was known as Ophioussa (ophis = snake in ancient Greek), due to great quantity of snakes on the island. According to the myth, Poseidon the God of the sea and great healer, exempted the island from snakes and reptiles and became the island's protector. A glorious temple was dedicated to him in Kionia.
Hercules and the strong winds of Tinos
Legend has it that Hercules chased and killed the sons of Aeolus, the God of winds, and buried them on top of the mountain "Gyros", because they abandoned the Argonauts when the ship passed by Tinos. When Aeolos found out that his sons were buried at Tinos, he became furious and let the winds free on the island to blow with rage until today. This is the first thing visitors notice when they arrive at Tinos.
The fights of the Titans with the Giants and Volax huge rocks
According to another famous myth, the giant rocks that are surround the village of Volax, are the stones the Titans used against the Giants, during their fights.
Ancient Times: Tinos has been inhabited since prehistoric times. The first inhabitants were probably the Pelagians, followed by the Ionians in the 11th century BC. The earliest settlement dates from the Neolithic period and there are signs of habitation in the Geometric and Archaic period.
Byzantine Times: Tinos was often attacked by Saracens which led to its decline.
Venetian Times: In 1204 Tinos came under the Venetian rule until 1715. The Venetians shaped the island's social and cultural traditions and protected Tinos by constructing the fortress of Exomvourgo.
Ottoman Period: In 1715 the Tinos fell under the Turkish rule, but their presence and influence was minimal. The island managed to develop its trade and crafts, became the financial capital of the Cyclades and dubbed as "Little Paris" as the arts and the marble sculpting flourished.
Russian Period: After the Turks, Tinos came under the dominance of the Russians for five years, who reconstructed the island's defense. Their influence is evident in the architecture of the island's churches.
Recent Times: In 1821 the Tinos was the first Cycladic island to participate in the Greek revolution. In 1823 the vision of nun Pelagia led to the discovery of the miraculous icon of the Virgin and Tinos has been established as one of the most important religiouscenters in Greece ever since.

Home - News - ACCA calls for IR35 private sector delay
Extending IR35 legislation to the private sector could introduce "a complex web of new rules and liabilities throughout supply chains".
Medium and large companies in the private sector will be responsible for determining the tax status of contractors from April 2020.
The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) has called for a one-year delay in the expansion of the legislation.
It believes the stay of execution will provide enough time to allow a full appraisal of the proposed rules and consider the best way forward.
Off-payroll rules were reformed for contractors in the public sector in April 2017 , with the aim of preventing what HMRC regards as 'disguised employment'.
Lilly Aaron, policy manager at ACCA Europe, said:
"On the surface, this legislation aims to tackle contrived working practices that may disguise the true nature of the relationship between a worker and client.
"In practice, however, this reform could create a complex web of new rules and liabilities throughout supply chains causing confusion over employment status and where tax liabilities rest.
"There are a lot of lessons to be learned from these rules being introduced to the public sector, and it is essential we get this right the first time for the private sector to give businesses some certainty."

The Allocations & Development Management Development Plan Document (DPD) forms part of the district's Local Development Framework (LDF) and was adopted by full council on the 16 July 2013. This should be read in conjunction with the Council's Amended Core Strategy.
Please note that the Development Plan has been subsequently supplemented by Neighbourhood Plans covering Farnsfield, Fernwood, Southwell and Thurgarton parishes.

Through the allocation of land for housing, employment and retail as well as the making of other designations the plan seeks to help deliver the approach to the District's future development set through our Amended Core Strategy (Adopted in March 2019). In addition to assist with the day-to-day assessment of planning applications the document also provides a suite of Development Management policies.
Adoption of the DPD follows its Examination by an independent Planning Inspector who, subject to a series of modifications, considered the DPD to be sound and to provide an appropriate basis for the planning of the District over the next 15 years.
These modifications were subject to review in terms of the implications for the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) and Assessment under the Habitats Regulations (HRA) and subject to a period of consultation alongside the SA and HRA reviews. The Inspectors Report provides further detail and is available to view below.

The Making of the Allocations & Development Management DPD
This section of the webpage details the stages in the production of the DPD leading up to its Adoption, starting with the most recent first. The Statement of Consultation and Representation (PDF File, 3,143kb) outlines the main issues and outcomes from the various stages of the Plans preparation.
The Examination of the DPD was carried out by an independent Planning Inspector, whose role was to consider whether the Plan's preparation complied with the duty to co-operate, whether the Plan is sound and whether it is compliant with the legal requirements. The National Planning Policy Framework (paragraph 182) sets out that to be sound, a Local Plan should be positively prepared; justified; effective and consistent with national policy. Examination of the DPD followed its Submission to the Secretary of State.
More detail on the Examination of the DPD and the supporting documentation is available to view through the link below.
As part of the DPDs Examination a range of 'minor' and 'main' modifications to the Submission DPD were identified. The minor modifications related to minor textual and grammatical amendments, whilst the main modifications concerned amendments to the content of allocations and the wording of policies etc which were considered necessary for the DPD to be sound in planning terms.
These modifications were subject to consultation with the main modifications being considered by the Inspector in making her recommendations. Further detail on the modifications as set out by the Council and subject to consultation following the hearing sessions can be viewed below, whilst the Inspectors Report (available above) sets out the Inspectors recommendations following the Examination and modifications consultation.
Proposed Modifications (PDF File, 4,973kb)
Strategic Policies for the Purposes of Neighbourhood Planning (19th September - 15th October 2012)
Following Submission of the DPD it was necessary for the Council to make a judgement about what within the DPD should be regarded as 'strategic' for the purposes of Neighbourhood Planning. The system of Neighbourhood Planning, allows Parish and Town Council's to produce plans and orders to guide development at a local level. Importantly one of the requirements of such plans and orders is that they should be in line with the 'Strategic Policies' of the Local Development Framework.
Accordingly a review of which aspects of the Allocations and Development Management DPD should be considered as strategic was undertaken and then subject to a period of consultation which concluded on the 15th October 2012. The comments received were reviewed and provided to the Planning Inspector leading the Examination of the DPD. Details of the review can be viewed below.
Strategic Policies for the Purposes of Neighbourhood Planning (PDF File, 283kb)
Submission to the Secretary of State (10th September 2012)
Following the approval gained from Full Council the Allocations & Development Management DPD was, on the 10th September 2012, submitted to the Secretary of State in order for it to be Examined by an Independent Planning Inspector.
Having considered the matters raised by the Representations received on the Publication DPD and those identified from a visit carried out by a planning inspector the local planning authority identified a small number of 'main modifications' to the content of the DPD. In addition to these 'main modifications' there are also other modifications which were intended to address the consistency in policy requirements, clearly identify their delivery and to amend spelling and grammatical errors.
The DPD as submitted was therefore made up of the:
Publication Allocations & Development Management DPD (PDF File, 17,887kb) and
Schedule of Proposed Modifications (PDF File, 6,725kb)
Publication Stage (Monday 18th June - Monday 30th July 2012)
The publication stage of the DPD differed from the previous stages in that it represented the version of the document that the Council wishes to submit to the Secretary of State for examination and following this to adopt. Following the close of the Representation Period meetings of Cabinet and Full Council on the 6th September 2012 considered the submission of the DPD.
Further information on the production of the DPD and how the Plan changed between the preceding stages can be found in the

Additional Sites and Development Management Consultation Papers (March - May 2012)
A number of sites were however put forward as part of the Options Report consultation which had not previously been considered as part of the allocations process. These sites had the potential to be considered as reasonable alternatives to the sites which the Council has previously considered. Therefore it was necessary for consultation to be undertaken on these additional sites.
Comments were also sought at the Options Report stage on the scope of proposed Development Management policies for eventual inclusion within the DPD. Following this further work, more detailed Development Management policies were produced for consultation between the 20 March and 1 May 2012.

India orders 22 Apache and 15 Chinook Helicopters
Vedant Agarwal September 29, 2015	Boeing, Military Leave a comment
The Indian Ministry of Defence has finalized an order with Boeing for 22 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters and 15 CH-47F Chinook heavy-lift helicopters. The order includes production, training and support of both the helicopters.
The order which is worth around 2.5 billion US dollars, was cleared by the cabinet committee on security on the 22nd of this month just before Prime Minister Modi's visit to the United States.
Both aircraft will replace the India air force's aging Soviet era helicopter fleet, with the Apache replacing the Mil Mi-35 and the Chinook replacing the Mil Mi-26 for heavy lift operations. The signing of the order for these helicopters has been pending since 2013.
The order is expected to be completed within five years, with the first helicopters entering service with the IAF in three years.
India will be the 14th nation to operate the Apache and the 19th nation to operate the Chinook.
Pratyush Kumar, president, Boeing India
"This is a milestone in Boeing's expanding commitment to India, This acquisition enhances the Indian Air Force's capabilities and offers us an opportunity to further accelerate 'Make in India.' Large sections of the Chinook fuselage are already manufactured in India and discussions are ongoing with our Indian partners to make Apache parts."

Bus Operator scheme must be more accessible - Boylan
22 February, 2021 - by Cathal Boylan
Sinn Féin MLA Cathal Boylan has said the support scheme for coach operators must be more inclusive and accessible.
The Newry & Armagh MLA said:
"Coach and private bus operators believe the Department of Infrastructure's support scheme is failing to meet their needs.
"Out of 209 coach operators in the north, it's reported that only 84 have been eligible for the first private coach scheme.
"Coach operators have made it clear that the second scheme must be more inclusive and accessible.
"We have repeatedly pointed out the flaws identified by the industry to the Department and the need to address these concerns.
"Minister Nichola Mallon must work with coach operators to ensure the scheme meets their needs and that they are properly supported."

Q: Download File from FileResult without saving to disk I am using MVC 4.
I have a method in my controller which generates a CSV file on demand and I want this file to be then downloaded by the user without the need of saving it to the disk at the server side. So I am passing a MemoryStream on the File() object to avoid having to firstly save file to disk and later give him the path for download.
Controller Method:
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult GenerateCsv(string data)

    var sb = new StringBuilder();
    sb = GetCsvReportToString(data);

    var stream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(sb.ToString()));

    return this.File(stream, "text/csv", "ReportCsv.csv");
}

sb (StringBuilder) has the correct data, as I have debugged it and confirmed it.
my javascript code:
window.open(generateFileLink + '?data=' + dataToSend, '_blank');

The window gets in fact opened, the download dialog appears but with an error, saying that it cannot be downloaded from localhost:

The name is different in the download "ReportToCsv" because I didn't use real names for methods in my question, but doesn't matter.
Can anyone assist?

A: Try this
var sb = new StringBuilder();
            sb=GetCsvReportToString(data);
            return File(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(sb.ToString()), System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet, "ReportCsv.csv");

Ready for its world premiere: the extensive product range for the BMW Z4 by AC Schnitzer. The Aachen-based tuning specialist has further optimised the brand-new classic from BMW, which has already received extensive accolades from the trade press.
The BMW Z4 as standard is far from under-powered. But as is well known, enthusiastic drivers can never have enough power. Sufficient reason then for AC Schnitzer to upgrade the Z4 3.5i Turbo to 286 km/h. With a power of 360 HP and an unladen weight of 1485 kg, the open-top roadster from BMW accelerates from a standing start to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. Even the most demanding driver will be delighted with this performance.
The driving experience is enhanced acoustically and visually by the stainless steel sports rear silencer and the chromed Racing tailpipe trims.
Equally sporting is the AC Schnitzer suspension variant in the Z4. Thanks to a new spring kit, the transverse acceleration appears to bypass the conventional laws of nature.
This impression is certainly partly supported by the aerodynamic components made of PU-Rim, a high quality flexible plastic. The aerodynamic pack for the new BMW Z4 consists of a chrome front grille and front spoiler, where both components combine to give a more muscular look to the long bonnet lines.
New sports fenders, consisting of wheel arches with integral air outlets for improved cooling of the front brakes and chromed deflectors, optimise the side lines of the roadster.
Finally, the two-piece rear spoiler gives the rear of the BMW Z4 by AC Schnitzer an impressive look; because of the performance of the car, this is probably the aspect which will be seen most by other drivers!
In the inside, both driver and passenger enjoy an impressive interior. The aluminium cover for the i-Drive System Controller, the aluminium foot rests and pedal set, are just a few of the ergonomically perfect controls which give the vehicle elegance and enhance the sporting ambience.
Standing on AC Schnitzer Type IV in 18" or Type VI wheels in 18, 19 or 20 inch, the BMW Z4 takes to the stage for its world premiere. A striking entrance from the Aachen specialist, which will certainly not be forgotten in a hurry.


Violence broke out at the University of Washington's Red Square on Saturday afternoon as counter-protesters clashed with members of "Freedom Rally" being held by the right-wing group Patriot Prayer.
UW College Republicans invited the group to speak on campus. Activists claim Patriot Prayer is associated with the alt-right, but they group insists it's opposed to racism and white nationalism.
"Patriot Prayer is teaming up with University of Washington Republicans to encourage conservatives to stand up for freedom in a far-left University," organizers wrote on Facebook.
Several fights broke out during the event.
According to local media, police took multiple people into custody and tried to keep the opposing sides separated with bikes and other barriers.

Smash Stereotypes About Girlbosses
Women bosses often get an unfairly bad rap, but we don't have to live with it. Two of them, who lead male-dominated teams, tell you how.
TEXT HOE I YUNE PHOTO EVERETT COLLECTION
Oh, please – I've had my fair share of indecisive and micromanaging male bosses. Trust me, it's not a gender thing.
THEY'RE INDECISIVE
Smash it: As a leader, you're ultimately responsible for the decisions made, says Tribal Worldwide Singapore's managing partner and head of operations Leslie Goh. Don't waver, as it sends the wrong message to your team. "When there is consistency, the team can spend more time polishing up the work or coming up with initiatives and being more productive," says Leslie.
Also, once you've made a decision, be transparent about how you got there. "I keep all my team members engaged right from the planning stages," says Gauri Bajaj, director of cybersecurity (APAC) at Tata Communications. "This way, they understand their contribution to the company's strategy." The point is – don't leave room for your team to guess at what you're thinking.
THEY'RE BETTER FOLLOWERS, NOT LEADERS – UNLIKE MEN
Smash it: As a boss, you have the power to build an empowering environment for your team. So use it. Create a genderneutral work culture and shut down stereotypes immediately, says Leslie. When a male colleague commented that the company should hire more women project managers – as the role requires an eye for detail – Leslie wasn't having any of it. "I shared with him success stories of male project managers on my team, and highlighted their strengths and weaknesses," she says, adding that she doesn't allow men in her team to imply that they're better at tech jobs than the women.
THEY'RE TEMPERAMENTAL
Smash it: "Btchy", "unsympathetic", "too emotional"… whatever. Sometimes, girlbosses just can't win. But no matter what judgment people choose to pass, Leslie believes that bosses have to be consistent in showing care for their team's wellbeing. If she notices that someone is overworked and has clocked long hours, she proactively suggests they take time off to rest.
Leslie also makes the effort to ask about her team's personal lives when she runs into them in the pantry, or during lunch – it's her way of understanding their career and personal goals. "This way, they're more likely to be open to coming to you for help when they need to," Leslie adds.
MOTHERHOOD MAKES THEM LESS COMMITTED TO WORK
Smash it: After returning from maternity leave, Leslie had to launch a major project within a short time frame. That meant long hours in the lead-up to the launch. Tough for a new mum, but she wanted to show her team that their leader would be in the trenches with them. To get by, Leslie roped her husband and parents in to look after the baby.
Now, she gets home in time to read her two kids a story before bed. Once that's sorted, she logs on to her work e-mail and picks up where she left off.
THEY LOVE TO MICROMANAGE
Smash it: It's hard to work effectively if a boss is constantly breathing down your neck. #truth. Gauri knows it, so she finds ways to keep her team invested. "I prefer to give a fair amount of authority to the team by letting them participate in decision making processes."
Lose the dictator like attitude and have some trust, agrees Leslie. If team members disagree, she doesn't shut them down. Rather, she takes it outside and makes time to help them understand her point of view.

Got a relationship problem? Jason Godfrey, our man about town, is here to help.
My husband and I haven't had sex since our first kid was born a year ago. I'm a working mum, and caring for a toddler takes up all my energy, so sex isn't really top on my list of priorities. I don't want us to lose the spark. Can we have a loving, if sexless, marriage?
Sex – you really only need a few minutes to get it done. It might feel like a chore now, but sex is really important for maintaining the spark. So make time to release the beast! Jump-start those engines with a staycay at a nice hotel to get you guys back to your porn-star best, then settle into nice, boring sex on a weekly basis.
I love my boyfriend, but we argue all the time. Sometimes it's about silly stuff , but at other times, older issues get rehashed over and over again. How do I get us to stop fighting?
A relationship is like a war that only has ceasefires, but never actually ends. The key is to keep the fights low-key without hurting each other. If you're fighting about silly stuff , then the answer is easy – know when to let it go. Take yourself out of the fight and let him have it. As for rehashing older issues, that's something that only leads to hurt feelings. Set a new rule: You can argue, but bringing up the past is null and void. Keep the discussion in the present, or the fights of the past will ruin the future.
I get along really well with guys, and I have lots of male friends. But the thing is, I can't seem to get a date out of any of them. How do I break out of the friend zone?
Ever tried the tequila and drunken sex combo? Just kidding. Don't do it unless you want to ruin the chance of a relationship as well as the friendship. If you hang in there long enough, one of the guys is eventually going to ask you out. If you don't feel like waiting, get on Tinder. In the meantime, put those guy friends to good use – get them to tell you the best ways to get a dude's attention.
I just started seeing this guy, and he said he wanted to take things slow. A few dates later, I made a move on him and kissed him. After that, he seemed distant, his texts got fewer, and he's less enthusiastic about meeting up. How do I get things back on track?
You should always be the chill girl. Always. Don't move in on him like a SWAT team taking down a vice den. Playing it cool, even when you're sweating, is a triedandtrue dating move – for good reason. Play your cards right, and you could turn the tables and have him going after you instead.
Want to keep the peace? Know when to back off.

'Bess' the mule was employed at the Pacific Coast Co.'s Cannon mine in Franklin. In 1914 the Seattle Star exposed how mules at the mine were required to work 24 hours a day and never allowed outside. The Humane Society eventually 'arrested' Bess, releasing her for needed rest and forage.
The Pacific Coast Company will probably substitute a third rail electric system for mule trains in Black Diamond and Gem mines. The third rail system will also supplant the overhead trolley in the Coal Creek mines of the company.
SAN FRANCISCO, Friday, May 13 — J.C. Ford, general manager of the Pacific Coast Company, has been in this city for some days negotiating with President H.H. Taylor for the purchase of the Black Diamond coal mines on Puget Sound.
The Black Diamond coal mines are to be sold to the Pacific Coast Company, $1,000,000 being paid for the properties. Negotiations for the acquirement of the coal lands and workings, which have been in progress for nearly four months, are practically completed and the formal transfer will be made within a few days.
Long-continued depression in Washington's coal mining industry and consequent precarious employment for the union miners of the state reached what the mine workers regard as a climax last week when the famous Franklin mine, one of the oldest and largest in King County, was shut down, possibly never to reopen.


More and more parents are turning to the Internet for information about their children's health and wellbeing. With all of the conflicting information online, how do parents decide which health websites to believe and follow? One website element the impact of which is not well understood is the readability level of content presented. An online survey was conducted with parents and university students in an attempt to isolate the relationships between website readability and credibility judgements and intentions to act. Parents and students were randomly assigned to view and evaluate one of three mock websites about Fragile X syndrome with identical content but differing readability levels. It was predicted that users would find websites that were easier to understand more credible and they would in turn then be more likely to act on the information from simple readability websites. Contrary to the author's hypothesis, students were more likely to follow recommendations on websites written at a complex readability level, when they were engaged with the website. Results also showed that readability was less of an influence on credibility than were the parents' pre-experiment knowledge of the disorder.

Have I really still not spotted The Twilight Saga: Eclipse?

I'm shocked to find that I still have not spotted this. There's like two trailers and a scene released already ;)
And while I'm writing about Twilight - I'm both excited and annoyed that Bill Condon is going to direct Breaking Dawn (the 4th book, the 4th & 5th film). Excited cause he's an interesting choice and annoyed because I was previously hoping not to get excited for Breaking Dawn at all cause I detest the book ;-P

As a string of mysterious killings grips Seattle, Bella, whose high school graduation is fast approaching, is forced to choose between her love for vampire Edward and her friendship with werewolf Jacob.
Trailers and clips
Twilight tradition dictates that the trailers should be bad and they are…. but (and I'm not sure whether this should worry me or whether I should be happy about it), I think they look better than usual…
The theatrical trailer has been out for a while now:
I snorted at the "As long as we get to kill some vampires" line - love the sarcasm and the delivery. Also, the action sequences are looking unusually good. And I really like Pattinson in the snowy bits (and the snowy bits themselves look nice too ;)).
The teaser trailer which has been out for ages:
The actual content on this one looks disgustingly soppy and cheesy ;-P However, the field of blue flowers looks gorgeous and some of the lines (particularly Lautner's) sound great (as in the delivery of them ;-P the lines themselves are a bit too far on the soppy side of things ;-P).
But what has me very hopeful is the Edward & Bella scene that has been released:
The sceptical part of me thinks that…
If this turns out to be as soppy, sentimental and generally awful as New Moon then I would have seriously considered not seeing Breaking Dawn. The problem is that now that Bill Condon is attached I probably will want to see it even if Eclipse turns out to be awful (which I still consider to be a very real possibility :]).
The excited part of me thinks that…
There is hope that this will not be as dreadful as New Moon. I say this because:
1) The Bella & Edward scene has a very different style of editing to what we saw in New Moon. It's common practice to shorten or make a scene a bit more dynamic when releasing it for promotional purposes, so I'm not sure if that's how the scene actually appears in the film. But the kind of changes that are usually made would mean the scene should look worse in its promotional version to me, so I have a lot of hope regardless ;)
One of my biggest bugs with New Moon was how dynamic the editing was. You just can't do that kind of editing when you're relying on awkward humour and when you have Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as your leads :] The two of them have a beautifully restrained style of acting and their silences say as much as their actual lines do.
The released scene has relatively long shots and awkward silences, yay! *grin* And Pattinson and Stewart both look much better in that scene than how I remember them in New Moon *sigh of relief*
2) While the scene looks very soppy indeed, it's a different sort of sentimentalism than what we saw in New Moon. If that's the direction they're going in with the soppy stuff then it may well work for me.
3) I think that of the four books, Eclipse is the one that translates to the screen most naturally. There's a lot in it that should look really good on screen. I'm particularly keen to see how the whole Edward-Bella-Jacob dynamic plays out. There should be a lot of hilarious scenes. Both guys get extremely possessive of Bella, which should be fun to see. And then there's Bella getting annoyed with both of them (she even runs off with Jacob while Edward can't do anything about it *grin* and then there's the sleeping bag scene! *grin*). I can really imagine Pattinson, Stewart and Lautner pulling off some great moments.
4) Another problem in New Moon was the Hollywood mentality of "OMG, we have to put in some action sequences or only girls will want to watch this". New Moon as a story does not lend itself naturally to action. So they started inventing things and changing stuff to put in the action, making a total mess of the story in the process. Eclipse has some very good and natural moments for action, so hopefully they will not have to destroy the story to put in the action they so crave :]

Henrietta (Hettie) Langdale Bussell (19 de febrero de 1917 - diciembre de 1996) fue la primera ingeniera ferroviaria británica. Fue presidenta de la Women's Engineering Society de 1976 a 1977.

Biografía
Bussell nació en Londres, pero se mudó a Newport, Monmouthshire a los 12 años con su familia. Allí ganó una beca para asistir a una nueva escuela primaria en Monmouthshire, donde desarrolló su amor por las matemáticas y la física.

Bussell terminó la escuela en 1933 durante la Gran Depresión, una época en la que era difícil encontrar trabajo. Se presentó a un examen de ingreso al Servicio Civil en 1934, donde no consiguió ninguna de las 4 vacantes que había para 2.000 candidatos. Ese mismo año, obtuvo el segundo lugar en un examen para unirse a Great Western Railway, donde solo el ganador del primer lugar consiguió entrar en la empresa.

Sin embargo, Great Western Railway poco después tuvo una vacante en Cardiff en la Oficina de Dibujo, parte del Departamento de Ingeniería Civil. Bussell se puso en contacto con la empresa para recordarles su segundo puesto en el examen. Con ello, pudo obtener un puesto como trazadora en agosto de 1934.

Bussell enfermó gravemente en 1989 y murió en Colchester en 1996.

Carrera profesional e intereses
En 1942, el ingeniero civil jefe de GWR nombró a Bussell como personal técnico subalterno en calidad de dibujante (mujer).

Bussell se trasladó a British Rail, donde fue ascendida a varios puestos:

 Dibujante asistente en 1948
 Asistente técnico en 1957
 Asistente de ingeniería en 1966
 Asistente superior de ingeniería en 1971

Bussell era miembro del equipo directivo de British Railway.

Bussell tenía un gran interés en las obras de túneles, en particular el Túnel del Canal de la Mancha.

Defensa de las mujeres en la ingeniería.
Bussell fue una defensora de la participación de las mujeres en la ingeniería.

Bussell se unió a la Women's Engineering Society en 1951 y se convirtió en miembro activo de la sucursal de Londres. Se unió al consejo de la Sociedad en 1961 antes de convertirse en Presidenta de 1976 a 1977, sucediendo a Gwendolen 'Bunty' Sergant y siendo sucedida por Veronica Milligan.

Asistió a la segunda Conferencia Internacional de Mujeres Ingenieras y Científicas en Cambridge en 1967, donde, entre otras cosas, el ingeniero indio KK Khubchandani le enseñó a usar un sari junto con otros miembros e ingenieros de WES, Rose Winslade, Cicely Thompson y las delegadas estadounidenses. Louise Davies y Betty Lou Bailey.

I became a translator when I was in high school. Since that time, I have translated a lot of contracts, clinical trials, lectures, agreements. During my college years I worked as an interpreter for different marriage agencies, tourist firms and business companies. I interpreted simultaneously for negotiations and exhibitions. I was never asked about my education; however, I have BS in Chemistry from Kiev Polytechnic University; English was just my well invested hobby.
In 2006, I moved to the USA, and during my maternity leave I was trying to find a different career. I passed a lot of different tests, including TOEFL, and became a student of Georgia State University in the nursing department. After learning human anatomy, chemistry, political science, history, and public speaking, I ended up not becoming a nurse because I realized that translating and interpreting are what I love to do the most.
In 2012 I became a community medical interpreter and I understood that it's my passion. Later, I also restarted my translation career. Since 2016, I have worked for different translation companies and agencies: Day Translation, Vox Orbis, Fluent, Cultural link, Akorbi, ALTA, World Translation, Site Translation, etc.
Since 2017, I've been working for Manpower as a Russian and Ukrainian proofreader, a translator and transcriber and for Language Select as a Russian and Ukrainian interpreter. Recently I joined NLSC and ATA.
I am CCHI certified interpreter and certified subtitler.

EnergyTrends also compared past energy use data to current consumption. Looking at a five year period – 2003 to 2008 – data shows Oklahoma's total energy consumption overall increased three percent per capita.
However, in that five-year period, natural gas electricity generation increased by 49 percent, hydroelectric generation increased by 104 percent and wind generation increased by 4,093 percent. Generation by petroleum and coal decreased by a combined 91 percent.
EnergyTrends was compiled by the Lexington Institute using U.S. Department of Energy statistics. The Institute says EnergyTrends is intended to provide readily available, helpful information and feedback to help Americans make informed decisions about their energy use.
