English Electric Canberra and de Havilland Vampire set to Return to the Air
June 6, 2017 WarbirdsNews Temora Aviation Museum, Warbird Restorations 1
In the biggest news in recent years, the Temora Aviation Museum's president and founder, David Lowy AM, has announced that the museum will start a complex project to return their English Electric Canberra TT.18 WJ680 and de Havilland Vampire T.35 A79-617 back to flying condition. Neither aircraft has flown for some years now, so a lot of work will be involved.
Lowy stated that, "A main component of our mission is to preserve our military aviation history, keep these aircraft flying and enable people to learn about the veterans who flew them. This will be a very resource-intensive project that will see these aircraft fly again progressively over the next three years."
Lowy also announced the appointment to the Temora Aviation Museum Governing Committee of former Chief of the Royal Australian Air Force, Air Marshal Geoffrey Brown AO (Retired) saying, "I am very pleased that Air Marshal Brown has agreed to join me on the Committee. His appointment will ensure that the Temora Aviation Museum continues to honour the men and women who contributed to our military aviation history."
The Canberra and Vampire were important designs in the early days of Australian jet aviation. The museum's examples have interesting histories. Canberra WJ680 entered service as a B.2 in December, 1955 as part of 551 Wing RAF Bomber Command based at Gutersloh, Germany. However, in February 1956, it suffered damage that resulted in a 12 months out of service. Shortly after her return to 59 Squadron, the aircraft again suffered extensive damage from a bird strike during a low level training mission which battered the canopy, engine cowlings, tailplane and the wooden fin (fitted to the UK-built machines).
Repaired yet again, the RAF reassigned the aircraft to a UK-based maintenance unit where she remained in storage for the following decade. In 1967, the British Aircraft Corporation (successor to English Electric) converted the bomber into TT.18 standard, carrying the Rushton-designed target-towing system. Following the rework, WJ680 went back into storage until 1971 when the RAF reactivated her. In December 1972, the Canberra, now with 7 Squadron at RAF St.Mawgan, was involved in yet another incident. The top hinge for the rudder sheared during an air test. The navigator, Plt Off Geoff Burns, ejected safely, but the pilot – bravely – elected to land the aircraft wheels up. This resulted in more than two years of repair work. She returned to 7 Squadron on target towing duties, flying without incident until 1980. British Aerospace (successor to BAC) then took in WJ680 for major servicing at their plant in Samlesbury, Lancashire, birthplace of the production Canberras.
Following the major servicing, WJ680 joined 100 Squadron at RAF Wyton where she remained on strength until December 18th, 1991; the date of her last flight in RAF service. She then went into a period of open storage at RAF Wyton until 1992 when the Ministry of Defense sold her to Ron Mitchell. In 1994, registered now as G-BURM, the Canberra made her civil air show debut, at Duxford no less.
The Temora Aviation Museum acquired the Canberra in May, 2001. Upon acquisition, the Museum repainted the aircraft to represent those flown by RAAF 2 Squadron during the Vietnam conflict. While the aircraft has not flown in some years now, she is well maintained, and remains, to this day, the only flyable English Electric Canberra in Australia.
The Museum's Vampire (Construction No. 4139) rolled off the deHavilland (A) production line in Bankstown, New South Wales in early 1958. The RAAF officially accepted her from the manufacturer on May 22nd, 1958. She first entered service with the Central Flying School at East Sale in Victoria, then later transferred to No. 1 Advance Flying Training School at Pearce in Western Australia. The RAAF put her up for disposal in January, 1970 along with the remaining Vampires in their fleet. Luckier than most of her type, A79-617 found a civilian buyer that June. He shipped the Vampire to the USA, where after many years of storage and several different owners, she returned to flying condition, now registered as N11923. David Lowy acquired '617 in 1998 and shipped her back to Australia, where the Vampire underwent extensive restoration and repainting at her birthplace in Bankstown, before arriving at the Temora Aviation Museum, now registered as VH-VAM. In February, 2001, David Lowy donated the Vampire to the Temora Aviation Museum. She made her first flight since returning to Australia on June 5th, 2001. A79-617 has not flown in some time, much like the Canberra, but when she finally takes to the skies again she will be the only Australian-built Vampire flying in the country of her birth.
The Temora Aviation Museum conducts regular Flying Aircraft Showcase days each month, with dates for October, November and December to be released very soon. The Museum is open 361 days a year and has just announced the dates for the next Warbirds Downunder Airshow which will take place over the weekend of October 12th/13th, 2018.

Pakistani nationality ranks second least valuable in the world
7th Jun '16
It could not get any worse.
Pakistani nationality is ranked as the second least valuable nationality in the world after Afghanistan.
Pakistani nationality now ranks only second to Afghanistan in a Quality of Nationality Index (QNI) ranking of 161 nations of the world on 'External Value of Nationality' measure.
The QNI list is released by consultancy Henley & Partners every year.
Our 'General QNI' ranking is 153 out of 161, which makes us world's 9th least valuable nationality. As a comparison, even Myanmar (formerly Burma) is ahead of us at 143.
In 'Travel Freedom' measure, our score is second from the bottom. See this: Pakistani passport ranked second worst for international travel
See also, some other indices on Pakistan:

Pakistan #106 in Good Country Index
Below is our General QNI ranking over the past five years:
You can see how continuously every year, we slipped into more isolation, with world not wanting to do anything with us.
If there are any individuals, think-tanks or institutions watching this, they may need to consider where we are heading and what message of low self esteem we are giving to the next generations of Pakistanis.
See also our External Value of Nationality score over the past five years:
Do not miss our Understanding Pakistan Series
Project Ignorance is launched
Germany tops the world ranking
According to a report, the QNI top spot out of 161 nations went to Germany. The country scored high for its stability, the health, education and standard of living enjoyed by its citizens, and the ease with which Germans can move, work and settle in other stable economies.
Internal factors
The report takes into account "internal factors" such as a country's human development (measured using the UNDP Human Development Index that ranks countries on health, education and standard of living); its economic strength (a country's GDP measured at purchasing power, as determined by the IMF); and its levels of peace and stability (based on figures from the annual Global Peace Index).
External factors
The "external factors" it considered include the freedom of both traveling to and settling in a country. The QNI also used measures of "diversity of travel freedom" – that is, the number of destinations that a nation's citizens can travel to without needing a visa.
European nations dominated the top 20 spots. The UK came in at 11th place – and the consultancy estimates that the country would fall to 30th place if it leaves the EU.
In 28th place is the United States. It ranked highly for its economic strength and levels of human development, but fell down on peace and stability, owing to the country's mid-level ranking on the Global Peace Index.

Distinct vigilance and administration
On 4 July 2016, the Holy Father approved a motu proprio that implements reform of the organisms engaged in control and vigilance as well as the administration of Holy See goods.
The new legislative document is intended to continue on the path begun with the Motu Proprio "€œFidelis dispensator et prudens"€ dated 24 February 2014, by which Pope Francis created three new organisms: the Council for the Economy, the Secretariat for the Economy and the Office of the Auditor General. As well known, the respective competencies of these organisms were subsequently specified in the Statutes of 22 February 2015. The Statutes in question were approved ad experimentum with the knowledge that the new system was to be built through subsequent verifications.
The document published today responds to the need to define further the relationship between the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See and the Secretariat for the Economy. The fundamental principle at the base of the reforms in this area, and in particular at the base of this Motu
Proprio, is that of ensuring the clear and unequivocal distinction between control and vigilance, on the one hand, and administration of goods, on the other. Therefore, the Motu Proprio specifies the competencies pertaining to the Administration of the Patrimony of the Holy See and better delineates the
Secretariat for the Economy"€™s fundamental role of control
and vigilance.


Washington, DC – The Senate has passed the bipartisan Improving Access to Behavioral Health Information Technology Act to help behavioral health care providers – like psychologists and psychiatric hospitals – adopt electronic health records. The bill was introduced in August by Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Rob Portman (R-OH), and is cosponsored by Senators Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI). The legislation would authorize the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to provide incentives to adopt electronic health technology to behavioral health care providers, improving the coordination and quality of care for Americans with mental health, addiction, and other behavioral health care needs.
Since 2011, the federal government has distributed $38 billion in incentive payments to health care providers to adopt electronic health records. However, psychologists, community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, and others that specialize in treating addiction and mental health conditions do not qualify for this funding. This has contributed to a substantial gap in the rates of adoption of health information technology between providers that qualify for federal incentives and those that do not, like behavioral health providers.
Whitehouse and Portman's bill would authorize the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to implement a demonstration program that provides incentive payments to behavioral health care providers for adopting and using electronic health records.
The bill now goes to the House, where Congresswomen Lynn Jenkins (R-KS) and Doris Matsui (D-CA) have introduced companion legislation.
$30 million for the National Ocean and Coastal Security Fund to support work that helps Americans understand and adapt to forces like sea level rise, severe storms, and other coastal hazards.
Bipartisan legislation to spur investment in next-generation carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies, putting a dollar value on the reducing carbon pollution driving climate change.
Whitehouse's legislation to extend permanently vital foreclosure protection for servicemembers, veterans, and their families.
$350 million to forgive student loan debt for teachers, first responders, social workers and others in public service, which was based on Whitehouse's legislation to fix a glitch in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.
Bipartisan legislation to increase collaboration between private industry, universities, and national laboratories in developing and bringing to market advanced nuclear technologies.
Bipartisan legislation reauthorizing the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, making important improvements to the way we treat young people in our criminal justice system.
Bipartisan legislation to address the marine debris epidemic affecting America's oceans, shorelines, and inland waterways, as well as other coasts across the globe.

English players at the LPL
by Wisden Staff November 23, 2020 - 5:05pm 2 minute read
The LPL (Lanka Premier League) is set to begin on November 26 – here's the lowdown on the English players signed up for the competition.
English players at the LPL:
Samit Patel – Dambulla Hawks
The Notts all-rounder enters the LPL on the back of a couple of eventful months; in October he was on hand to help his county to the T20 Blast title, and in November he was part of Lahore Qalandars' run to their first PSL final. While the Qalandars fell to a five-wicket defeat, it wrapped up a campaign for Patel in which he averaged 27 with the bat – at a strike rate of 146 – and 24 with the ball.
Daniel Bell-Drummond – Colombo Kings
Bell-Drummond –who has previously played in the Bangladesh Premier League and New Zealand's Super Smash – enjoyed an excellent T20 Blast season in 2020. The powerful Kent right-hander led the run-scoring charts with 423 runs at an average of 42.30, with his strike rate an impressive 154.94 as he let loose in the powerplay.
Laurie Evans – Colombo Kings
Evans has become something of a T20 globetrotter and consistent run-getter in the T20 Blast over the last few years. After leaving Sussex for Surrey earlier this year, he was a key cog in his side's run to the Blast final, finishing the tournament with 363 runs at 45.37 and a strike rate beyond 150.
Tom Moores – Jaffna Stallions
Wicketkeeper-batsman Moores is the other Notts player signed up for the tournament. The 24-year-old has previously played in the Pakistan Super League for Multan Sultans.

Q: MaterializeCSS bunching multiple choice menu together I am using materializecss and seem to have a weird issue with one of my Menus that was previously working. Here is was it is currently doing,

The underlying code is a loop.

                <select id="keywords" name="Keywords" multiple>

                    <%
                        Dim SQLQuery As String, IBResults As ADODB.Recordset
                        'get all the project keywords
                        SQLQuery = "SELECT APK.* " & "FROM Avail_Project_Keywords APK " & "WHERE APK.KeywordID <> 0 " & "ORDER BY APK.Description ASC;"

                        IBResults = GetBWRS("Infobase", SQLQuery)
                        If Not IBResults.EOF Then
                            Do Until IBResults.EOF
                                Response.Write("<option value='" & DBStr(IBResults.Fields("KeywordID")) & "'>")
                                Response.Write(DBStr(IBResults.Fields("Description")))
                                Response.Write("</option>")
                                IBResults.MoveNext()
                            Loop
                        End If

                    %>
                </select>
                Keywords

With the standard js caller on the bottom
   document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
            var elems = document.querySelectorAll('select');
            var instances = M.FormSelect.init(elems);
        });

Am I doing something wrong here? If so what is the problem. It matches the example code and when I compare the two with inspect element everything seem to be the same?
Thanks in advance.

A: From the Materialize CSS documentation, <select> needs to have this as the basic initialization. You seem to have missed out the options parameter.
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  var elems = document.querySelectorAll('select');
  var instances = M.FormSelect.init(elems, options);
});

The HTML seems fine.

A: Firstly thanks to those who tried to help out. It was appreciated.
I ended up downloading a new fresh copy of the Framework out of frustration. Now everything is working as expected. It probably will not help anyone who suffers this in the future unfortunately.
I am not sure why this fixed it. So if you are having this problem. Do try either linking their CDN's or downloading a fresh copy for yourself.

Snoop Dogg announces massive "I Wanna Thank Me" Tour of New Zealand In 2022!
Entertainment Icon, Hip-Hop legend and one of the world's most recognised artists Snoop Dogg has officially unveiled plans for two major, outdoor shows in Auckland and Christchurch in 2022.
Snoop Dogg will be joined by fellow legendary American rappers Warren G, D12, Obie Trice and the fast-rising Dublin rap duo Versatile.
Snoop Dogg, who hasn't performed in New Zealand since 2008 (apart from headlining the Big Day Out as Snoop Lion in 2014), will return to New Zealand shores in November 2022 for his 'I WANNA THANK ME' tour, which will see the West Coast rap legend celebrate the release of his 17th album 'I Wanna Thank Me', and documentary of the same name, released in 2019.
The tour kicks off at Christchurch's Orangetheory Stadium on Friday 4 November 2022 and then heads to Auckland's Trusts Outdoors on Saturday 5 November 2022.
Spark presale tickets will be available via Ticketek from Tuesday 26 October 2021, 12pm (local time). General Public tickets go on sale from Wednesday 27 October, 12pm (local time) from Ticketek.
While the 'I Wanna Thank Me' documentary celebrates 25 years of Snoop Dogg - a career that has seen the Doggfather cement his undisputed influence on music with chart-topping, multi-platinum records, while also solidifying his importance as a cultural icon, actor and businessman - the upcoming Australasian tour will be all about the music!
Hailed by Rolling Stone as 'America's Most Lovable Pimp; a hip-hop star that has survived gangsta rap, charmed Hollywood and won over soccer moms – a hip-hop family man who's evolved from consummate thug to ultimate mack', Snoop Dogg remains one of the most important figures in music, almost three decades into his career.
He's roasted Donald Trump on national television, baked brownies with Martha Stewart and collaborated with a list of celebrities that includes (but isn't limited to) 2Pac, Pharrell Williams, Dr Dre, Eminem, Warren G, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and more.
Despite immediately turning heads with his appearance on Dr. Dre's iconic album The Chronic in 1992, few could have predicted the meteoric rise of the California local; 17 studio albums, 17 Grammy nominations and tens of millions of record sales, plus appearances in acclaimed movies and TV shows and his own burgeoning cannabis business.
From playing piano at his local baptist church in Long Beach, to becoming one of the world's most recognised, revered and respected artists... and he's not even close to retiring. Get ready for Snoop Dogg Aotearoa!

Q: discrepancy calculating power of 1 sided 1 sample proportion test I am running the R code below to compare two methods for finding the power for a one-sided (greater) test of a proportion versus a fixed value ie lower bound (ie one sample test) - I have sample size 87, the lower bound is 0.8 and the assumed true value is 0.9
The first way is "home made" - I find the lower confidence interval (wilson in this case) of all possible outcome from 0 out of 87 to 87 out of 87. I calculate which of the lower CIs are greater than the lower bound. I then multiply the resulting logical vector that has Fs and Ts (T for when the lower bound is exceeded by the power CIs of the events 0,1,..., 87 out of 87) by the actual probabilities of 0,1,..., 87 out of 87 using dbinom. I sum this to get the total probability of the event where the lower CI when prob=p exceeds the lower bound aka the power.
I then try and confirm my code using the pwr.p.test from the pwr package in R and get a different estimate of power : my one-liner=74.9% pwr.p.test=84.2%
Why is this ? I get similar answers in the one-liner for several CI options (eg exact or wilson). How does pwr.p.test work ? I see a reference to arcsin ? I might expect small differences but there are quite large differences even for large values of n. Am I using pow.p.test wrong - are my alphas agreeing (should it be hald alpha somewhere ??) Is there just a silly mistake ??? many thanks for advice
library(pwr)
library(binom)
n<-87
lb<-0.8
p<-0.9
sum((binom.confint(0:n, n, alpha=0.05, method=c("wilson"))$lower>lb)*dbinom(0:n,n,p)  )
pwr.p.test(h = ES.h(p1 = p, p2 = lb),
           sig.level = 0.05,
           n=n,
           alternative = "greater")

Q: How do I remove a DOM element property? If I have an element with the property className set to "test", how do I remove the HTML attribute associated with that property?
Example of what I'm trying to achieve:
const set = (el, prop, value) => el[prop] = value;
const rm  = (el, prop)        => delete el[prop]; // How do I do this?

const el = document.createElement("div");

set(el, "className", "test"); // el:

rm (el, "className");         // el:

Do I have to map properties to attributes and use removeAttribute()? If so, is there a mapping provided by the DOM that I can use? Or do I have to write my own?
Or is there something like delete el.className that I can use?
Same question for other attributes such as onclick, htmlFor, etc.
Example:
const el = document.createElement("div");
el.className = "test";

// How do I unset className?
delete el.className; // Doesn't do anything.
el.className = null; // Sets the string "null". Same for "undefined".

// Do I need to do this?
// If so, can I get this from somewhere in the DOM?
const propToAttrMap = { "className": "class", "htmlFor": "for", ... };
el.removeAttribute(propToAttrMap["className"]);

A: Try setting the property to an empty string. It doesn't necessarily remove the attribute but should nullify it. For Boolean types like disabled it should work similarly.
The one caveat I can think of is that once an element has been given an attribute, it will appear under query selectors it would have been absent from previously.

const set = (el, prop, value) => el[prop] = value;
const rm  = (el, prop)        => el[prop] = "";

const btn = document.querySelector("button")
const div = document.querySelector("div")

console.log("original:", div.innerHTML)
console.log("classy elements:",
  document.querySelectorAll("[class]").length)

set(btn, "className", "red")
set(btn, "disabled", true)
console.log("set both:", div.innerHTML)

rm(btn, "className")
console.log("rm className:", div.innerHTML)

rm(btn, "disabled")
console.log("rm disabled:", div.innerHTML)
console.log("classy elements:",
  document.querySelectorAll("[class]").length)

<button>Click me!</button>

A: class is your attribute & in order to remove any attribute, you just need to write:
el.removeAttribute('your_attribute')

In your case:
el.removeAttribute('class')

A: While jQuery provides an extra method(addProp() and removeProp()) for setting and getting element property values,
Yes there's no such big thing in plain JavaScript. Element properties, such as href, title, alt, and value, are directly accessible as JavaScript object properties.
Find below one example.
var el = document.querySelector('a');
console.log(el.href);
if (el.title != 'Welcome') el.title = 'Welcome';

var inp = document.querySelector('input[type="text"]');
console.log(inp.value);
inp.value = 'Hello World!';

Even you can add and delete new property to a DOM element as shown below.
var el = document.querySelector('div');
el.animal= { name: 'Lion'};
console.log(el.animal);
delete el.foo;

Thanks

For one of my webapp projects I'm needing to layer two images. This isn't a problem on my laptop -- I just fire up GIMP, do some copy 'n pasting, and I'm done. However, since everything needs to be automated (scripted), and on a server -- well, you get the point.
The great ImageMagick toolkit comes to the rescue. This is highly documented elsewhere, so I'm going to be brief.
Next, I tried to just use composite.
This also yielded an acceptable resource usage.

Football: Unbeaten Brunei DPMM aim to continue momentum against Balestier Khalsa in Singapore Premier League

https://str.sg/oK2z
SINGAPORE - The early Singapore Premier League title talk had revolved around the usual suspects; defending champions Albirex Niigata, local powerhouses Home United and Tampines Rovers, as well as big spenders Hougang United.
But midway through the first round of fixtures, only overlooked Brunei DPMM remain unbeaten - even after tough games against Home (1-0), Albirex (0-0) and Tampines (2-1).
DPMM coach Adrian Pennock told The Straits Times: "Nobody were talking us pre-season but there can always be surprises in the league and Balestier (Khalsa, their opponents on Saturday, April 13, at the Bishan Stadium) are also third now on merit.
"They are good going forward and we need to show up if we are to get a positive result and keep this run going.
"Momentum is so important in a league season. Albirex had a fantastic unbeaten run throughout 2018 to win the league and hopefully ours will continue on Saturday."
Former Belarus international Andrei Varankou has started well with three goals as Pennock has successfully integrated him and the other two new imports - Australian midfielder Blake Ricciuto and English centre-back Charlie Clough - alongside DPMM's long-serving locals.
Pennock, 48, took over on Dec 1. The Englishman said: "It is important we got the right people and characters in the team. The imports we got from 30 trialists from all over the world are excellent, and the locals have just been these honest players who want to learn.
"My job was first to get them fit, strong and organised and work on team spirit and bonding."
His side are tactically flexible (able to switch between three or four at the back) and also mentally resilient (DPMM played with 10 men for 40 minutes against Albirex after Najib Tarif was sent off).
Balestier will be no pushovers despite having lost their captain and goalkeeper Zaiful Nizam. He ruptured his Achilles' tendon and will be out for about four months.
Tigers coach Khidhir Khamis will have to rely on the untested duo of Zacharial Leong and Faris Danial during the Singapore international's absence.
Khidhir said: "Zaiful is an integral part of how we play and his absence is a big blow on and off the pitch, but we have a squad ready to take up the responsibility of leading and rallying each other until he returns."
Balestier have scored eight goals after five league games - behind only Tampines who have managed 12 - with forwards Sime Zuzul and Kristijan Krajcek a threat and 19-year-old Daniel Goh impressing on the right wing.
Khidhir said:"We had a short pre-season, so we are still a work in progress. But I have been pleased with the players' willingness to accept change from a soak and strike strategy to more expansive football.
"We still need to improve in terms of intensity and how we attack and defend. The players are responding in training and we will be a much better side as the season goes along."

Top Three Games Intelligent People Like To Play
What do you like games? Is it only to satisfy your urges to play or do you play to develop your mind? If the answer is yes to the latter question, then you must have known that there are games which are better in developing mental capabilities than the others. The fact that these games improve your level of thinking does not mean that they are not as captivating as the common games. In fact, some of these games involve physical activities thus they develop the body, mind and soul.
People with high intellectual capacity are higher than average has something in common; they like challenges. The quickest way to challenge yourself is to play a captivating game.
Below are three games which are loved by intelligent people throughout the world.
The chess game is not for the faint-hearted. In fact, many people do not pick interest in this game if they are not smart in the head. To play this game, you have to think steps ahead of your companion. Since you cannot know for sure what your play partner is up to, you have to pursue all the possible outcomes of every move they make. You also have to do that in the time given because a timer will be ticking immediately your turn to play starts.
If you play chess daily, you will realise great improvement on your judgment and patience.
If you fancy playing a game when alone, then you should try Sudoku game. You do not need a companion to play this game unless you want. Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle, but it demands more mental input than the crossword puzzle. To play Sudoku well, you have to know many English words and at the same time, be familiar with riddles. It is a well-known fact that when you play Sudoku, your neuroplasticity increases thus you become smarter than before.
Escape Room Game
Necessity is a mother of innovation. The intelligent people did not just find themselves smart. They challenged their mental capabilities to be what they are today. If you are placed in a room whereby you have to look for clues to get out, you will expand your mind as you figure out how to get out on time. If you do this severally, your IQ will increase because of constant challenging your mental capabilities. That is the reason why the escape game in Singapore is synonymous with intelligent people who want to challenge themselves.
Everyone has a reason for playing games. Some do it to pass the time while others are addicted to games. Just like how a physical game can improve on your body, a mental game also develops how you use the mind. Playing mental games is thus like exercising the mind. With time, you will realise that you are smarter than you were before you started playing the mental games. The above three games are known to challenge the intellect, and thus they are very famous with smart people.

Woof Squad know exactly how hard it can be to juggle a career, a family and pets. You can't be everywhere at once and we know that your pets are a huge part of the family.
Let them join our squad on a regular or ad-hoc basis and come out with us for exciting and varied walks in the local gorgeous green spaces. Or if you have a pup or older pet that just need visiting for cuddles, feeding and letting into the garden then we can help there too. Dogs are our passion, and this business is built with passion. We treat your dogs as we would our own. Receive pictures and videos while you're away from your pet to see what they are getting up to and follow our insta-stories to see if your dog features.
We are fully insured, DBS Checked, first aid qualified, and are a gold member of the National Association of Registered Pet Sitters (NARPS). It's not just a walk in the park after all and we treat your pets welfare with the highest priority.
I've always loved dogs more than the average person and my happy place is being curled up on the sofa with a cup of tea and my King Charles Cavaliers. True companionship, loyalty and love all wrapped up in a furry four-legged parcel. No matter what day I've had or what things I've faced in life my dogs never fail to cheer me up and make me happy.
I've been lucky enough in my life to have had 6 family dogs. My first dog Boots a Labrador and Collie Cross we got from a rescue centre when I was just three years old. We grew up together and it was my job, as I got older to walk him every day after school. When I was a teenager along came our two Border Collie's Bobby and Benji. We went on so many adventures together and when I moved out of the family home the boys used to stay with me regularly.
In my early twenties my love for King Charles Cavaliers began- and my husband and I got our first dogs together Marcel and Louis. We always knew that Louis had a poorly heart and we were lucky enough to have had him for four years before he passed away. We still have Marcel who is now 12 and snoring away next to me as I type this. Words cannot explain how much I love this little guy; he is such a little gent and is so good with our two daughters. Marcel got a little lonely by himself so in 2010 we found a rescue Cavalier looking for a new home. We named him Ruben and they have inseparable ever since. They make us laugh everyday and I couldn't love them more if I tried.
In 2018 I decided that I wanted to pursue my passion for dogs and I resigned from my public sector career after 12 years. This wasn't an easy decision to make but already I know and feel that if you are determined and motivated enough you can make things happen and live your best life. I realise it wont be glamorous and that I will get wet and muddy in the typical English weather, but quite honestly I think its going to be the best decision I've ever made.

é uma tinta em pó usada nas impressoras a laser e fotocopiadoras para formar texto e imagens em papel.
Entenda como funciona uma impressora a laser - Página em português sobre o funcionamento desta tecnologia. As partículas do tôner são transferidas para o papel por meio de cargas magnéticas e fricção, e logo após fundidas no papel pelo calor do rolo fusor enquanto o papel é impresso. Primeiramente era simplesmente pó de carbono. Atualmente, o carbono é misturado com um polímero, aumentando significativamente a qualidade da impressão. O polímero usado varia entre os fabricantes, podendo ser estireno acrilato copolímero ou resina de poliéster. O tamanho das partículas de tóner variam de 1 a 15 micrômetros.

Estão a ser desenvolvidas reduções no tamanho das partículas e a aplicação de novas tecnologias como a Emulsion-Aggregation vai produzir uma maior resolução.

O nome "tóner"/"tôner" provém do inglês toner e significa tonalizador, mas também é usado de forma errônea para designar o reservatório do pó. O reservatório é uma espécie de cápsula cilíndrica que por sua vez fica numa caixa de plástico que pode ser removida do equipamento onde está instalada, possibilitando sua rápida substituição, esta caixa de plastico também é conhecida como "cartucho de toner".

Riscos
Pó de carbono que a Agência Internacional de Pesquisa sobre o Cancro classificou como cancerígena 2B, ou seja o "pó que é possivelmente cancerígeno para os seres humanos" é encontrado em toner de tinta. Enquanto você não está exposto a ele durante o uso normal, se um cartucho de toner quebra, você pode inalar ou fazê-lo tocar sua pele. Para evitar acidentalmente inalar ou tocar esse produto químico, recomenda-se uma máscara de respiração de papel e luvas de proteção sempre que mudar o toner de tinta em qualquer uma das fotocopiadoras do seu escritório ou descartar cartuchos de tinta de toner antigos. Inalação de carbono negro pode causar dores de cabeça, irritação nos olhos, coceira crônica e pequenos crescimentos na língua. Por extensão, o contato direto com a pele pode causar coceira e irritação.

Watch What Happens When a Marine Meets Iron Man on Ellen's Holiday Special
Marine reservist Roy Webster meets Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. on "Ellen's Greatest Night of Giveaways." (NBC)
Military.com | By James Barber
Marine reservist Lance Cpl. Roy Webster got a huge surprise on the NBC holiday special "Ellen's Greatest Night of Giveaways" when Ellen DeGeneres introduced him to Robert Downey Jr., the actor who plays Roy's childhood hero Iron Man in the Marvel movies.
"Ellen's Greatest Night of Giveaways" (EGNOG to those in the know) is a three-night television event airing on NBC at 8 p.m. ET/PT Dec. 10-12. Ellen and her celebrity friends are surprising people on her Nice List with what she describes as "incredible gifts."
Ellen fans know she's going to deliver heartwarming stories to go along with the flash and glitz, and Roy's history is no exception. Kellie Webster raised Roy as a single mom in Dallas, and her little boy grew up loving Iron Man.
Ellen gives Roy a special Iron Man gift, which turns out to be a chance to meet actor Robert Downey Jr. Check out the moment below in our exclusive clip.
The show warms even more hearts when Ellen brings out Roy's third-grade teacher, Marlowe Melton. Marlowe's now a stay-at-home mom, but she had a huge impact on the family's lives when Roy was little.
In addition to surprising audience members, Ellen's team will visit the homes and schools of the people she's gifting this holiday. Joining DeGeneres is an all-star group that also includes Michelle Obama, Jennifer Aniston, Justin Timberlake, Melissa McCarthy, Michael B. Jordan, Jason Momoa, Sterling K. Brown and Chrissy Teigen, along with Steph and Ayesha Curry.
Since that group has a combined social media following that approaches an estimated 3 billion Americans (Note: Estimate may not be accurate), look for an EGNOG takeover on Twitter and Instagram all week.

Eventually all businesses need to change directions and sometimes that means a complete overhaul of their whole brand. This was the case for Cane Creek Cycling Components. A world-renowned manufacturer of high end bike parts, Cane Creek was best known for the patent they held on a little-known and highly technical bike part, the threadless headset. Their corporate branding was very stark and simple. Picture lots of white backgrounds and large blue text if you will.
However, as they moved into a new market by developing uber cool suspension products for mountain bikes, (see our work on the DBinline) Cane Creek needed to update their brand image to one that was cohesive across all product lines, focused on their corporate culture and appealing to a younger demographic.
Beginning with logo development for the Double Barrel suspension line, SWARM worked on every piece of brand collateral that Cane Creek developed over the next 5 years. A few notable projects include: Website Redesign, Print and Digital Advertising, Technical Posters, Brochures & Catalogs, Product Graphics, User Manuals, a Web-based Configurator (The Headset Fit Finder), Animated Renderings, Trade Show Displays, Fixtures and Tents, Soft goods and Product Packaging.


We believe in empowering woman to live a life of freedom, beauty, joy and strength.

Keep making things
Secretly, we're all scared of being rejected. Whether it's unrequited love, an unappreciated gift, or making something that people don't want.
We're scared.
After I published my first book, I was fearful of the first review. When the review came, it took me seven days to get the courage to read it. It wasn't nearly as critical as I'd feared but the critical bits still hurt.
The challenge for us, as creators, is that the critique hurts whether we've done a good job or bad.
It's hard to remember that creating isn't about us. It's our purpose to give; and a giver needs a receiver. The receiver is free to do whatever they want with the gift: they can reject it, return it, abuse it, or put it on a shelf.
On the path to making something great, you'll make many things that aren't that good. That's ok. You'll also make good things that aren't appreciated. Don't get down: history is filled with examples of artists who struggled even when they were making great art.
For example, Vincent Van Gogh earned little recognition during his life. Today he's considered to be one of most influential painters of all time.
Early in his career Walt Disney was fired from a newspaper because "he lacked imagination and had no good ideas."
Here's one more: right now Slack (the group chat app) is experiencing insane growth. But immediately before Slack, Stuart Butterfield was working on a game called Glitch. Glitch had to be shut down after failing to get traction with users.
You'll need to decide early on if you're making things for yourself, or for others.
Many artists create solely for themselves. They're focused purely on expressing outwardly what they feel inside. Whether that connects with the public or not isn't their primary concern.
But as product people, we're different. We build things for others. Our purpose is to make things people want. There is art in what we do, but it springs from a different well. Our inspiration comes from outside of ourselves. We're inspired by watching people, and noticing what they like, what they need, and what they struggle with.
This is why making things for others is hard. We're making bets on what other people (who aren't us) will like. I believe you can improve your intuition about people through the practice of observing them. This was Steve Jobs' hidden talent. Bill Gates made this comment at D5:
Steve has natural intuitive taste, both for people and products. I viewed [a product decision] as an engineering question. That's just how my mind works. Steve would make the decision based on a sense of people.
Keep at it. Keep making things. Focus on getting better. Keep offering the things you make to people, and learn from their response.
Product people persevere!
"I'm convinced...half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance." - Steve Jobs
PS: I'm writing a book that aims to help you get better at observing people and figuring out what they need. You can get a free chapter here.

Jimmy Hart Recalls Having His Jaw Broken At WrestleMania III; Vince McMahon Giving Him The Megaphone
Gisberto Guzzo &	Sean Ross Sapp &	William Thatch Dec 12, 2021 12:00PM
A legendary manager and music producer, Jimmy Hart is also no stranger to taking bumps in and around the ring.
Speaking with Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, The Mouth of the South revealed that over the course of his 30-plus year career, two of the roughest spots he was ever involved with featured Matilda the Bulldog and Rowdy Roddy Piper.
"Matilda the dog. I had the megaphone and one day I was in the ring with the microphone, the siren went off when it did, Matilda attacked me, you know? She was pretty rough in the ring. I got my jaw broken at WrestleMania 3. I was doing that match with—well, I had three matches—but one of the matches was with Adrian Adonis against 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper. When Piper gave me that shot on the outside, it cracked my jaw. Didn't tell people about it, but I had to chew gum very, very gentle for a while. But, that was a good shot," Hart said.
One of the things that became a key part of Hart's presentation was his signature jackets. The Hall of Famer would sport a new look for each of his clients, sometimes changing his wardrobe three times per night. He told Fightful that he did this so that everyone was treated equally and no one got jealous.
"Well, you know what I had to do? I just had to bring a different jacket," Hart shared. "I had to go out three or four times, so I had to make sure I had a different jacket for everybody. Well, I tried to treat everybody equal 'cause I didn't want any of my guys to get jealous. Which they would. So, I would have different jackets made for different events and everything."
Hart continued on, saying that Vince McMahon would love his jackets. He also shared that Vince was the one who first gave him the megaphone, noting that he used to carry a cane. Here are his full remarks:
"I'd let Vince see everything. He goes, 'I love it, I love it!' Vince is the one that got me the megaphone, you know? I was carrying a cane when I was in Memphis and I went to New York, one day Vince came in and says, 'This is gonna be your new gimmick.' It wasn't painted, of course. I said, 'Can I paint it?' He goes, 'Do whatever you want to with it.' So, that really was a great part of my career, the megaphone."
Not in touch as often as they once were, Hart says he saw Vince at WrestleMania briefly but understands that he is very busy. He finished by commending McMahon for always being "first-class."
"When we did the WrestleMania, I got to see him a little bit and everything. But he's so busy with so many different things, but he's always been first class all the way," Hart said.
Over the course of his career, Hart managed names such as Hulk Hogan, The Hart Foundation, The Million Dollar Man, The Giant, and many more. He was also a key contributor in the music department, writing and producing Ted DiBiase, Shawn Michaels, and many others' themes. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.

4.63 Durham City's natural green spaces and networks of greenery will be protected and enhanced for the leisure, health, economic and environmental benefits they provide for residents, visitors and people working in the City.
4.64 The objectives of this theme are:
To protect and enhance the green infrastructure in Our Neighbourhood;
To protect and enhance the green assets of the World Heritage Site, and its inner setting, and of the character areas of the Durham City Conservation Area;
To address deficiencies of green infrastructure within Our Neighbourhood.
Definition of green assets
4.65 Green infrastructure is the network of green assets (multi-functional green spaces and natural resources) within the City (PPG 'Natural environment' para. 027). Green assets cover a range of spatial scales and types of use. They include:
the River and riverbanks, streams, ponds (i.e. blue infrastructure);
open spaces (see Table 1 below);
wildlife sites and wildlife habitats;
woodland;
parks and botanic gardens;
public, community and private gardens;
green landscaped areas;
the grounds of the University, colleges, schools, hospitals, businesses and business parks;
highway verges and railway embankments;
footpaths and cycle paths;
green corridors (a narrow strip of land containing enough habitat to support wildlife and connecting wildlife populations and habitats separated by human activities or structures (such as buildings or roads). They include riverbanks, cycle paths and footpaths, road verges);
dark corridors (unlit strips of land (e.g. footpaths, verges and riverbanks) that provide wildlife with protection from artificial lighting and routeways between larger, unlit areas of habitat);
cemeteries and churchyards;
allotments and community gardens;
sports and playing fields;
amenity green spaces;
designated Local Green Spaces;
the Green Belt;
trees, hedgerows, grass, vegetation;
built structures such as green roofs, green walls, natural or artificial water features, bird and bat boxes and roosting sites.
4.66 The above list includes open spaces. An open space is defined as any open piece of land that is undeveloped (i.e. has no buildings or other built structures on it): it can be both public or private (with or without public access allowed). Open spaces can be green or hard, or a bit of both. A typology of open spaces (Department for Communities and Local Government, nd, Annexe) is given in Table 1 below:
Table 1: Topology of open spaces
Green Open Spaces
Mixed Spaces (including both green and hard areas)
Hard Open Spaces
Natural / semi- natural spaces (such as wildlife sites, woodland)
Civic spaces with soft landscaping (e.g. grass, trees, flowerbeds, water features)
Civic spaces (hard) (such as town squares, public seating areas)
Green corridors (including riverbanks, cycle paths and footpaths, road verges)
Play spaces (for children and young people
Waterways (including rivers, streams)
Outdoor sports facilities (with grass surfaces)
Outdoor sports facilities (including playing fields, open air courts) (with hard surfaces)
Roundabouts (with soft landscaping)
Roundabouts (with hard surfaces)
Churchyards, cemeteries and burial grounds (open or closed to burials)
Amenity green spaces (most commonly, but not exclusively in housing areas – including informal recreation spaces, green spaces in and around housing, domestic gardens and village greens)
Allotments and community gardens
Road verges
Vacant lot (with vegetation)
Vacant lot (with hard surfaces)
4.67 An assessment of open spaces in Our Neighbourhood has been undertaken (Durham City Neighbourhood Planning Forum, 2018).
4.68 The City's attractiveness and character is enhanced by the natural open spaces and networks of greenery which are valued throughout the year by residents, visitors and those working in the City. This green infrastructure serves a variety of purposes: the character setting of the World Heritage site and conservation areas, attractive open spaces and footpaths for recreation and connections between communities, beneficial effects on people's health, an attractive setting which encourages new businesses and new residents to move to the City, visitor and tourist attractions, beneficial habitats for biodiversity and mitigating the effects of climate change. (PPG 'Natural environment' para. 008, 028, 030)
4.69 Table D1 in Appendix D lists landscape and natural environment assets and open spaces in Our Neighbourhood, describing the context as known at the time of writing (March 2019). This identifies many resources, however it cannot be used as a comprehensive list.
4.70 This justification refers to the Green Infrastructure theme as a whole. Additional, specific justification for an individual policy is given with the policy itself.
4.71 The Forum's priority survey (Durham City Neighbourhood Planning Forum, 2015) identified that local people valued highly the green infrastructure of the City. One of the highest rated aspects was the riverbank setting and riverside walks. In addition they rated the woodland 'wedges' which bring green space into City, pedestrianised areas, Council flower displays and tree plantings, parks and nature areas. One of their priorities is to protect green spaces/green belt and the environment. In the Forum's study of the views of young people (Durham City Neighbourhood Planning Forum, 2016a), one of their priorities included the River. The young people all enjoyed the river and the river walks, and felt that even more could be made of the riverbanks to improve access and leisure opportunities.
4.72 An environmental objective is one of the three objectives in achieving sustainable development (NPPF para. 8). The NPPF covers green infrastructure in a number of chapters:
Chapter 15. Conserving and enhancing the natural environment. "Planning policies and decisions should contribute to and enhance the natural and local environment by: a) protecting and enhancing valued landscapes, sites of biodiversity or geological value and soils (in a manner commensurate with their statutory status or identified quality in the development plan); … d) minimising impacts on and providing net gains for biodiversity, including by establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures" (NPPF para. 170);
Chapter 8. Promoting healthy and safe communities, e.g. "through the use of … high quality public space … [and] the provision of safe and accessible green infrastructure, sports facilities … allotments and layouts that encourage walking and cycling" (NPPF para. 91)
Chapter 13. Protecting Green Belt land
Chapter 14. Meeting the challenge of climate change, flooding and coastal change, e.g. managing risks "through suitable adaptation measures, including through the planning of green infrastructure" (NPPF para. 150)
4.73 'The Natural Choice' (the natural environment white paper: UK Government, 2011) emphasises that a healthy, properly functioning natural environment is the foundation of sustained economic growth, prospering communities and personal well-being. The biodiversity strategy (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, 2011) builds on the natural environment white paper. Its mission is to halt overall biodiversity loss, support healthy well-functioning ecosystems and establish coherent ecological networks, with more and better places for nature for the benefit of wildlife and people.
4.74 The Natural Capital Committee (2018) was set up to provide the UK Government with independent advice on protecting and improving natural capital, i.e. green assets, land, minerals and water It is currently working on developing a 25 year Environment Plan to implement the 'Natural choice' White Paper (UK Government, 2011). The goals they recommend include providing everyone with access to local green space, restoring and enhancing wild species populations and habitats, and managing developments so that there is an overall net increase in natural habitat.
4.75 The 'Green Infrastructure Guidance' (Natural England, 2009) provides a comprehensive overview of the concept of green infrastructure, signposts to other relevant information, and maps out wider policy priorities and drivers for green infrastructure. Its aim is to drive forward green infrastructure planning and delivery.
4.76 More than 70 organisations from across multiple sectors have joined forces to create a 'Charter for Trees, Woods and People' with the aim of guiding UK policy and practice. It sets out ten principles "for a society in which people and trees can stand stronger together".
4.77 A number of Durham County Council strategies and documents are relevant to green infrastructure. The Green Infrastructure Strategy (Durham County Council, 2012a, p.5) identified a number of policy recommendations relevant to the Neighbourhood Plan:
existing public open spaces and rights of way should be protected; new development should contain sufficient open space for new and existing residents' needs; open spaces and rights of way should be good-quality, attractive and functional …
designated sites and other ecologically valuable assets will be protected from the direct or indirect impacts of development; new green spaces will retain, reinforce or create links to the existing GI network; green spaces, roofs and walls will be encouraged …
GI will be used as an [economic] asset …
healthy lifestyles will be supported by the protection and enhancement of open spaces and the public rights of way network. Landscape – designated landscapes and landscape conservation areas will be protected and managed …
sites of historic interest, and their settings, will be protected and enhanced; the use of green infrastructure as a design feature will be required where appropriate; green infrastructure features which contribute to townscape will be protected …
the creation of new woodlands will be supported; … urban trees will be protected.
4.78 Durham County Council (2018c) has produced a 'Durham Strategic Green Infrastructure Framework'. One of their delivery priorities is: "Enabling local communities to engage in the enhancement and creation of GI in their area within their Neighbourhood Plans".
4.79 The Sustainable Communities Strategy for County Durham 2014-2030 (County Durham Partnership, 2014) has a section 'Altogether greener' with the aim of maximising the value and benefits of Durham's natural environment. The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 placed an obligation on local authorities to produce and maintain a Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP). The Rights of Way Improvement Plan for County Durham 2015–2018 (Durham County Council, 2015d) The 'opportunities' (essentially the policies) identified in the plan include an aim that paths are provided and improved as part of developments, and that gateway sites to public green spaces are improved.
4.80 Durham City falls within The Wear Lowlands character area of the County Durham Landscape Character Assessment and Landscape Strategy (Durham County Council, 2008a,b). The strategy for the Wear Lowlands is: "To conserve the character of the valley landscapes of the Wear while enhancing those areas which have been most affected by development" (Durham County Council, 2008b, p.104). These documents contain detailed contextual information and numerous objectives. Baseline information on biodiversity and geodiversity is available in the Council's Technical Paper No. 12 (Durham County Council, 2009).
4.81 A number of the saved policies from the City of Durham Local Plan cover green assets (E1,2,2A,5,5a,10,14 to 20,25,26; R1 to 3,5,11 to 13; T21; Q5,6).
4.82 The Durham City Regeneration Masterplan (Durham County Council, 2014) and its update (Durham County Council, 2016c) has a number of implementation projects and actions relevant to the green infrastructure of Our Neighbourhood (a subset of the Durham City area covered by the Masterplan), i.e. 'Keeping Durham Green' by e.g. care of the River Wear banks, adding to existing green spaces.
4.83 Local strategies and initiatives emphasise the importance of the green infrastructure within the City, in particular the Durham City Conservation Area Appraisal (Durham County Council, 2016b) and the Durham Castle and Cathedral World Heritage Site Management Plan (Durham World Heritage Site, 2017). The Durham City Conservation Area comprises "the pre-1900 expansion of the city and the majority of the natural 'bowl' (the upper slopes of which present a largely rural backdrop to views of the Cathedral), the important green wedges of open countryside and other significant green areas which contribute to and enhance the setting of the historic buildings and the city as a whole" (Durham County Council, 2016b, Executive Summary, p.2). Management proposals for each character area are available, which include management, conservation and enhancement of green assets. Most of Our Neighbourhood falls within the area covered by the World Heritage Site and by its inner setting (see Maps 1 and 2). The immediate context of the river and the tree lined river banks is a key component of the World Heritage Site's Outstanding Universal Value. The inner setting of the World Heritage Site, and protection of views to and from the World Heritage Site, is another key component.
4.84 Durham County Council (on behalf of a Steering Group of the main landowners of the Durham riverbanks) commissioned Blue Sail Consulting Ltd (2017) to produce a development and management strategy for the Durham riverbanks, focussing on the Peninsula riverbanks. It recommends a number of projects to revitalise this area. These riverbanks projects intersect with the Emerald Network policy G3. (See also relevant initiatives in the companion document 'Looking Forwards: Durham as a Creative and Sustainable City').
Planning Policies and Proposals for Land Use
4.85 The policies related to this theme are:
Policy G1: Protecting and Enhancing Green Infrastructure
Policy G2: Designation of Local Green Spaces
Policy G3: Creation of the Emerald Network
Policy G4: Enhancing the Beneficial Use of the Green Belt
Next section: Policy G1: Protecting and Enhancing Green Infrastructure
One Response to Theme 2(b): A Beautiful and Historic City – Green Infrastructure
Joanne Gargett says:
As part of the healthy lifestyle the should be a policy of extending the cycle network across the neighbourhood and also amend the current cycle network to make it safe and cohesive.

There are many clubs in the tri-state area that take pride in being exclusive "golf only" clubs. Scarsdale relishes a different reputation – being a first class "Family Club" while having one of the top area golf courses. Scarsdale's calendar is filled with events and activities that are designed to entertain and accommodate children and their parents while capitalizing on Scarsdale's many sports facilities.
The golf and tennis professionals are very active with the children and offer summer long clinics or individual lessons. The Club also has a children's swim team that competes against other local clubs where children of all ages and skill levels compete in both home and away meets.
The Club offers a very popular Summer Day Camp where campers enjoy all day activities including swimming and swim lessons, arts and crafts, martial arts, dance, tennis, golf, soccer and other field sports.
Throughout the year there are numerous family events including barbeques, pool parties, and children's parties such as the Holiday Party, Halloween Party, and a children's "Spring Fling." During winter months, children and parents alike enjoy bowling a few games where a bowling coordinator is available to provide instruction and perhaps place the "bumpers" for younger children so that all the kids, no matter how young, can knock down a few pins.
The renovated Clubhouse includes a children's room where children are supervised playing video games, watching television, and participating in crafts while the parents dine or socialize at the Club.


Ready to buy a new home in Bedford Hill? Failing to check that a lawyer is on your lender's list of approved solicitors can put your Bedford Hill transaction at risk of delay or failure.
Only LenderPanel.com provides a subset of authorised Bedford Hill conveyancers for over 130 lenders.
Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Bedford Hill. I would like to know the understand why all Bedford Hill property lawyers aren't included on all bank panels?
As inequitable as it may seem for lenders to limit who can act for them, from the public's or conveyancer's viewpoint, the other side of the coin is that lenders are increasingly anxious and consider it essential to protect them against illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern banks are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a manageable size.
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Bedford Hill or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and sometimes your bank. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Bedford Hill is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose interest is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
I require fast conveyancing in Bedford Hill as I have an ultimatum to complete in less than one month. Thankfully I do not require a mortgage. Is it possible to avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?
I have been sourcing a conveyancing practitioner in Bedford Hill for my house move. Is there any facility to see a firm's record with the profession's regulator?
Anyone can review documented Solicitor Regulator Association (SRA) decisions arising from investigations commenced on or after 1 January 2008. Go to Check a solicitor's record. For information about the period before 1 January 2008, or to check a solicitors history, phone 0870 606 2555, 08.00 - 18.00 any week day save for Tuesday when lines open at 9.30am. International callers, dial +44 (0)121 329 6800. The regulator may monitor call for training requirements.
I own a leasehold house in Bedford Hill. Conveyancing and Coventry Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Bedford Hill who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
First contact HMLR to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Bedford Hill conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
We have reached the end of our tether in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Bedford Hill. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
in cases where there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to calculate the price.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Bedford Hill property is First Floor Flat 152a Ramsden Road in June 2009. The net result of the tribunals calculation produced a premium payable of £23,975. This case was in relation to 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 56.67 years.

Calculate how much you can save on your Cenhud bill with solar panels
Average 25 year solar savings for a Cenhud customer: $52,867
Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Adding solar panels and switching rate plans can lower your Central Hudson Gas & Electric electric bill
There are three ways you can reduce your Cenhud bill: changing your habits, switching your rate plan, and adding solar panels.
The second thing you can do is switch your rate plan. Cenhud offers time-of-use billing that can help you save money by shifting your usage of energy-intensive appliances to off-peak hours, and there may be other options for you as well.
Rate plan savings Calculate solar savings Cenhud net metering Cenhud solar incentives Average solar savings Solar payback
How much can I reduce my Central Hudson Gas & Electric bill by switching to a different rate plan
For some people, the savings from switching rate plans may only be a few dollars per month, but for many it can be $20-$100 per month. That's between $240 and $1,200 that you may now be paying to Central Hudson Gas & Electric each year for no reason.
Finding out what's available to you is as simple as a phone call or email to Central Hudson Gas & Electric. Even a small savings can be worth it.
Are solar panels worth it for Central Hudson Gas & Electric customers?
Yes! With a 25% New York state tax credit for solar, available sales and property tax exemptions, solar panels make a lot of sense for Central Hudson Gas and Electric customers. CHG&E net metering policy also ensures you get credited on your power bill at full retail rates for the excess solar electricity your panels produce. Your credits are rolled over and applied to your next month's bill.
Calculate your Cenhud power bill savings
Does Central Hudson Gas & Electric offer full 1 for 1 net metering credits for exported solar power
Yes, Central Hudson Gas & Electric offers 1 for 1 net metering. This means you are paid the same rate for excess solar energy that you export to the utility grid during the middle of the day as what you pay for power purchased from the grid.
In the case of Central Hudson Gas & Electric, Time of Use (TOU) pricing applies. You will earn an average of $0.21 for power exported at peak rate times, and an average of $0.1 for power exported at off-peak times.
What incentives, tax credits and rebates are available to Cenhud customers for installing solar?
Here is every incentive you may be eligible for as a Cenhud customer:
NY-Sun Megawatt Block Program - Upstate Region - Block 8 (Utility)
As of August 2020, at block 8 - $.35/W. Block 9 is $.20/W
*Based on 10.83 kW system, average installation cost $32,344
How much does installing solar panels save the average Central Hudson Gas & Electric residential customer?
If you input the details for a Cenhud customer with a power bill of $170 per month into the best online solar panels calculator, it tells you that you need a 10.83 kW solar system that will produce 13,109 kWh per year and that this system will return the owner a $52,867 profit after repaying the cost of the system.
The solar savings possible for you as a Cenhud customer will depend on the amount of electricity you use and the cost of the solar system you buy. Savings also vary based on the direction of your roof or any shading of your roof that affects output.
Here is a monthly and lifetime solar savings estimate for the same relatively typical Cenhud customer with a $170 per month electric bill prior to solar and who installs a 10.83 kW solar system.
How much do residential solar panels cost for Cenhud customers?
Utility provider: Central Hudson Gas & Electric
6-7.4 years
10.83 kW
What are the environmental impacts of Central Hudson Gas & Electric customers installing solar panels?
While most homeowners decide to install solar panels because of financial savings over time, the environmental impacts of this choice are the primary motive for others. Here is a breakdown of the environmental benefits from a Central Hudson Gas & Electric customer installing a 10.83 kW solar system on their property:
What factors affect the price of solar panels for Central Hudson Gas & Electric customers?
It is common to see really good systems, using quality brands of equipment, being sold for around $2.99 per watt or $14,603 for a standard 10.83 kW solar system after the customer claims the 26% federal solar tax credit.

Damian Blaum (ARG) and Alice Franco (ITA) were the winners of the fifth and last event of the 2015 FINA Open Water Swimming Grand Prix, held on September 6 between Capri and Napoli, in Italy. In this traditional 36km-race, the Argentinean took 6h22m13s to get the gold, while Franco touched home in 6h29m54s.
In both the men's and women's event, the silver medal was obtained by the overall winner of the series. Evgenij Pop Acev (MKD) was second in Italy (6h22m16), but concluded the season with 49 points and the first place of the Grand Prix 2015 classification. Pop Acev participated in all five legs of the circuit, having one victory, precisely in home waters, at the Ohrid Lake. In the women's field, the second fastest between Capri and Napoli was Pilar Geijo (ARG, 6h35m17), who got the final triumph in the series, with a total of 60 points. Her best result during the year had been the gold in the third race, in Lac St-Jean (CAN).
Completing the podium in Italy, local star Simone Ercoli was third among men (6h22m20s), while Spain's Esther Nunez got the bronze in the women's race, in a time of 6h43m31s
Moreover, the best in the overall ranking, besides the winners Pop Acev and Geijo, were in the men's classification Bertrand Venturi (FRA, second with 39 points) and Xavier Desharnais (CAN, third with 34 points). Among women, Franco was the runner-up with 56 points, while experienced Esther Nunez was the third best, with 49 points.
The 2015 success for Pop Acev was the first of this kind for the Macedonian star, after being second of the ranking in 2013 and third in 2011 and 2012. Pilar Geijo repeated her victories of 2010 and 2011.

Q: Existence of stationary subset of $\omega_2$ with certain properties How can I show the existence of a stationary subset $X\subset\omega_2$ with the properties

*

*$x\in X$ implies $cof(x)=\omega$

*For every $\alpha<\omega_2$ the set $\{x\in X\mid x<\alpha\}$ is not stationary in $\alpha$.

assuming, besides $ZFC$, either $V=L$ or the square-principle?

A: Assume that $\square_{\omega_1}$ holds and let $(C_\alpha \mid \alpha \in \operatorname{Lim}(\omega_2))$ be a witnessing sequence, i.e.

*

*$C_\alpha \subseteq \alpha$ is club,

*$C_\alpha$ is countable, whenever $\operatorname{cf}(\alpha) = \omega$,

*$C_\beta = C_\alpha \cap \beta$, whenever $\beta$ is a limit point of $C_\alpha$.

Note that each $C_\alpha$ has order type $\le \omega_1$. And for $\beta < \omega_1$ let $\xi^\alpha_\beta$  be the $\beta$-th element of $C_\alpha$ in its strictly monotone enumeration (if it exists, otherwise let $\xi^\alpha_\beta = 0$).
Observe the following

*

*If $\beta < \omega_1$ is a limit ordinal and $\xi^\alpha_\beta \neq 0$, then $\operatorname{cf}(\xi^\alpha_\beta) = \omega$.

*There is some limit ordinal $\beta < \omega_1$ s.t. $\{ \xi^\alpha_\beta \mid \alpha < \omega_2 \}$ is stationary.

*This set answers your question, i.e. it is a stationary subset of $E^{\omega_2}_{\omega}  = \{ \xi < \omega_2 \mid \operatorname{cf}(\xi) = \omega \}$ that doesn't reflect.
