GAZA CITY (Ma'an) — Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes targeting resistance sites belonging to the Hamas movement, on late Saturday, in the southern and central besieged Gaza Strip.Local sources said that Israeli warplanes targeted two resistance sites, in southern and central Gaza.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Palestinians arrived to the eastern borders of southern Gaza to participate in "Night Confusion" protests against the nearly 12-year Israeli siege.Sources added that protesters ignited dozens of rubber tires on fire near the Israel-Gaza electric security fence.According to Hebrew-language news outlets, loud explosions were heard by residents in the Israeli communities surrounding Gaza, which reportedly were explosive devices thrown by Palestinians towards Israeli forces situated along the border.For several weeks, hundreds of Palestinian protesters, have been organizing, as well as participating in night protests, during which they set tires on fire and chant slogans through loud speakers, while marching towards the border with Israel. These protesters are also known as the "Night Confusion" unit.
If a 5.0 Earthquake were to hit New York City, there could be $39 billion dollars worth of damage and 30 million tons of rubble… and experts say the city is overdue, according to the Daily Mail. Veuer's Sam Berman has the full story.
Tuesday's quake comes just four days after a 1.5-magnitude temblor was detected under the lake about 22 miles north of the Ontario-Williamson town line in Wayne County. That quake struck just before 4 a.m. Friday and occurred about 3¼ miles below the surface.
Why one person in Victor would feel the tremor at a distance of 90 miles isn't clear. Generally, smaller quakes tend to be felt by relatively few. People who are indoors on an upper floor and who are in a quiet environment with few distractions are most likely to sense such a quake, experts say.
According to the non-linear math of earthquake science, Tuesday's tremor was eight times bigger than the one last week, and released 22 times more energy. At magnitude 2.4, it was near the threshold where property damage is possible. None was reported.
Small earthquakes of this nature are common in New York and eastern Ontario. Nine temblors have been measured so far this year in New York. Tuesday's was the first in Ontario, according to a list maintained by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.
On Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's proposal for a joint investigation in the Pulwama terror attack "if India hands over credible evidence", Lu Kang said that China welcomes Pakistan's goodwill gesture.
China Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang on Friday said that the country never recognised India and Pakistan as the nuclear weapon states. Lu Kang also said that China's position on the Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) remains firm and unchanged.
Lu Kang's statements came when he was asked if China accepts the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) as a nuclear power similar to India and Pakistan.
"China always maintains that India and Pakistan should continue to take more positive measures to create an enabling atmosphere, strive to resolve all outstanding issues between them through dialogue, and jointly stay committed to keeping the region peaceful and stable. China also has all along been encouraging them to do so," he said.
This serves the interests of both countries and is what China hopes to see, he said.
The Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson also said that the country has been calling on both India and Pakistan to exercise the upmost restraint and take measures to resolve problems between the two countries.
He appreciated Pakistan's gesture and "goodwill it sent to India" by releasing Indian Air Force (IAF) pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman. He also said that India and Pakistan are each other's neighbours and cannot be moves away.
Iraq's parliament is set to debate the continued U.S. military presence in the country — an issue that has divided Iraq's leading political groups, both Sunni and Shia.
U.S. President Donald Trump's surprise visit to Iraq late last year, along with his statements about the continued U.S. military presence in the country, drew a range of reactions from Iraqi political groups.
Major Shia groups, such as Muqtada al-Sadr's Sairoon Coalition, which maintains a distance from Tehran, would like to see an end to the U.S. military presence.
The pro-Iran Fatah Alliance, of which the Hashd al-Shaabi is the main component, has described the continued U.S. military presence as a "challenge".
The Asaeb Ahl al-Haq, a militant subcomponent of the Hashd al-Shaabi, has said it was ready to drive U.S. troops from the country by force if necessary.
By contrast, Nouri al-Maliki, a former prime minister (2006-2014) known for his close ties with Tehran, has said that U.S. forces are still needed to secure Iraq.
"U.S. military experts, advisers and instructors are still needed here," he said in remarks recently broadcast on Iraqi television.
Last month, Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi asserted that there were no longer any foreign military bases in Iraq.
"The current mission of all foreign forces [operating in Iraq], including U.S. forces, is limited to anti-Daesh operations and training and advising Iraqi forces," Abdul-Mahdi was quoted as saying.
Parliament Speaker Mohamed al-Halbousi, meanwhile, says Iraq still needs international support in its ongoing fight against terrorism.
"We plan to discuss the issue [i.e., the continued presence of foreign forces] in the assembly, but until then we have to ensure Iraq's stability," he said.
Since the U.S.-led invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003, the U.S. military has maintained nine bases throughout the country.
Although Washington withdrew a significant number of troops from Iraq in 2011, it consolidated its military presence by establishing a handful of new bases.
The Victory Base, for example, located adjacent to Baghdad International Airport, continues to be used for training purposes.
In 2014, the U.S. military launched a series of anti-Daesh operations from Camp Al-Taqaddum and the Ayn al-Assad Airbase, both of which are located in Iraq's western Anbar province.
In the almost five years since, U.S. troops have used a number of other existing bases in the war against Daesh, including the K1, Qayyarah and Harir bases.

Rubber Band je singl Davida Bowieho, byl vydán v roce 1966 a byl začátkem nahrávací smlouvy Bowieho s Deram Records, která následně zahrnovala i jeho první album z roku 1967: David Bowie.

Píseň je jednou ze tří součástí kazety, kterou připravoval Bowieho nový manažer Kenneth Pitt a byl jedním z jeho prvních poznávacích znamení. Píseň samotná ukazuje momentální Davidovu zaslepenost Anthony Newley. Díky několika dobrým poznámkám v hudebním tisku se singl vyšplhal britskými hitparádami až na vrchol.
Song byl později znovu nahrán na Bowieho debutové album. Strana B, The London Boy byla vydána jako singl ještě v roce 1975.

The question "What do you do?" is one of the most common ones that come up in both social and professional settings. In fact, this question is so routine that many people say their name and their job title without giving it much thought. Even though this response is the cultural norm, it gives the other person little information to help him or her make a personal connection.
Instead of providing a name and job title that may quickly be forgotten, the person answering the question can use it as more of an opportunity to find common ground with the one making the inquiry. The introduction should always match the social backdrop of the situation.
For example, someone introducing themselves at a social gathering such as a wedding should mention how he or she knows the couple and then wait for the other person to offer the same information. The two people meeting for the first time might even discover they went to the same college or both worked with the bride or groom at some point.
The before portion of the statement indicates that two unique companies existed before a merger and the speaker successful transformed them into a single business with a shared strategy.
Telling a generic client story can also work well for an introduction in a business setting. The person introducing himself or herself could say something such as "I'm a consultant who works with businesses to become more productive.
Currently, I'm implementing strategies with a company that has seen a 59 percent increase in employee productivity." This statement shows what the speaker if capable of within a matter of seconds.
The type of introduction a business professional makes depends on whether it's in person, over the phone, or in written form. When one person introduces two or more people who have never met, making eye contact and offering a handshake are acceptable as well as expected in Western culture.
Each party offering a smile goes a long way towards breaking any unspoken tension during the encounter as well. The handshake should be firm while eye contact should break after a few seconds to avoid awkwardness for either party. However, it's vitally important to make eye contact initially to promote a feeling of trust.
Email introductions can be less stressful because both parties have time to consider what they want to say. The person sending the email should first obtain permission through a mutual connection that both parties know.
This is the best way to ensure the email doesn't end up in a spam folder or the trash bin without the recipient ever opening or reading it. The email should start with a brief introduction and then immediately state the purpose.
Reaching someone by phone for the first time isn't always easy since many professionals have gatekeepers that screen calls. Some also let calls go to voicemail if they don't recognize the originating phone number.
When the intended person does pick up the phone, the person making the call should not waste time with small talk and get to the purpose of the call after making a quick introduction.
Introducing yourself to a sales prospect for the first time differs from any of the other scenarios mentioned. The salesperson needs to first pique interest by inviting the person on the other end to pay attention. Immediately stating the reason for the call is one way to achieve this.
The caller should then shift the focus to the recipient of the call by asking him or her about some current challenges. This provides the ideal opening to discuss solutions and inspire the recipient of the call to act by setting up a sales call.
The bulk of the conversation should focus on the person accepting the call and how the caller can help rather than discuss his or her own accomplishments.
An introduction in any setting may take only a few seconds but taking the time to get it right could have a lasting positive impact.

All accused of Mecca Masjid blast acquitted
Posted on April 16, 2018 at April 16, 2018 by Administrator
Hyderabad: The special NIA court in Hyderabad on Monday acquitted all accused in the Mecca Masjid blast case. Citing lack of evidence, the court said that the investigation agency had failed to prove anyone's guilt. Ten persons, all members of Abhinav Bharat, including Nabakumar Sirkar alias Swami Aseemanand; Devender Gupta; Lokesh Sharma alias Ajay Tiwari, Lakshman Das Maharaj, Mohanlal Rateshwar and Rajender Chowdhary were named as accused in the case.
Two accused, Ramchandra Kalsangra and Sandeep Dange, are still shown as absconding. A key accused and RSS functionary, Sunil Joshi, was shot when the case was being investigated.
The pipe bomb explosion at the historic Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad killed eight and left 58 others injured. Five others were also killed after police opened fire to control a rioting mob during the Friday prayers in Mecca Masjid on May 18, 2007.
After an initial investigation by the local police, the case was transferred to CBI, which filed a chargesheet. The NIA took over the probe in April 2011. A total of 226 witnesses were examined during the trial and as many as 411 documents exhibited. During the examination, 64 of them, including Lt Col Shrikant Purohit, turned hostile.

You already know that cyber security is essential for businesses of all sizes, but did you know that network security is just as important in the home? As more and more devices connect to our home networks, securing those online hubs will become more important, not less. Whether you have a single laptop connected to your home network or dozens of devices, cyber security is a vital consideration.
Unfortunately, cyber security is often an afterthought, especially for the manufacturers of connected devices. The so-called Internet of Things (IoT) has been particularly vulnerable, and hackers often use these devices to gain entry into an otherwise secure home network. If you want to keep your home and your data secure in this kind of environment, you need to be proactive about security.Here are some smart cyber security tips you can use to protect yourself and your home network.
Start by setting a robust password on your router. Your Wi-Fi router is the heart of your home network, so make sure the password is complex and difficult to guess.
Download a Wi-Fi monitoring app or program. Apps like Who is on My WiFi scan your home network for connected devices, making it easy to spot intruders.
Change your router password promptly if you suspect your home network has been penetrated. You will have to update the credentials on your connected devices, but that is a small price to pay for extra security.
Run the latest and greatest security software on all your connected devices, including computers, tablets and smartphones. Check the security settings, run regular scans and make sure you are well protected.
Monitor the speed of your home network and scan the system for intruders if performance drops precipitously. You need to be proactive about the cyber security and safety of your network.
Be vigilant about software updates. Download updates for your computers and laptops, keep the operating system on your smartphone up-to-date and make sure your tablet is set to download any security upgrades.
Use a standalone malware detection program on all your computers. In the age of ransomware and ever-evolving risks, antivirus protection is not enough. A standalone malware detection program will give you extra protection and peace of mind.
The security challenges to cyber security have never been greater, and they are only expected to grow more serious in coming years. While businesses remain the main targets of ransomware and other attacks, ordinary users are not immune from this growing threat. Whether your home network consists of a laptop and smartphone or encompasses an entire connected home, you cannot afford to ignore cyber security. The tips listed above can help you lock down your home network, so you can enjoy it while the bad guys stay out.

Are you a brick-and-mortar business? How do others find you aside from walking past your door? In order to grow, something needs to be added to your advertising scheme. How about a website? Below are eight reasons why your business is already suffering without it.
Remember when all people asked for was business cards and brochures? If you attended a networking event empty handed, that was exactly how you were going to leave – with nothing. Advertising is still the rage and people do take business cards, but there is one difference – the content on the card has changed. Traditional addresses have been replaced by website addresses.
Still on the fence about a website? It's time to hop off, and here's why.
2. An excellent advertising tool – While you have all those brochures, flyers, business cards and ads already, make them perform double duty by adding your website address to them. People can share your information with potential customers who are not local so they can see what you are offering as well.
3. Your business is never closed – Just like those diners what are "Open All Night," you are as well, but without the need to actually be awake for it. Potential customers can find helpful information any time of the day or night. If you have an e-commerce store set up, they can also make a purchase while you sleep.
4. Pay more attention to making money – Instead of answering the same question for the umpteenth time over the phone or through email, use a FAQ page on your website.
5. Save money in the long run – Yes, you will save money even if you pay a professional to handle the set-up of your site. Over time, the monthly cost will decrease as your business increases.
6. Build brand and credibility – A business that invests in a website shows a commitment to building the business. You can create a logo and a brand for all to see, while being seen as a professional in your industry. Compelling content that is fresh also builds reputation and credibility.
7. Updates are easy – Want customers to know about a new product line? Advertise on your website. This makes email marketing easy because you don't have to fill your copy with information they can find on your site. Simply plug the new stuff and direct them to the landing page.
8. Customers multiply like rabbits – A website has a worldwide audience. Instead of just those who live in Poughkeepsie, you can reach people in New Delhi, Tokyo and Vancouver. Everyone who might be interested in what you have to offer can find you.
So what are you waiting for? That website won't build itself.

Mount Revelstoke Internment Camp
Mount Revelstoke Internment CampDonald Lovegrove2019-01-15T14:23:02-08:00
During World War I, under the War Measures Act, internment camps were established at 24 locations across the country. About 8,000 people, mostly Ukrainians and other Europeans, were detained because they were considered to be enemy aliens. Four of these camps were located in national parks at Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Mount Revelstoke. The camp on Mount Revelstoke has been commemorated with the Mount Revelstoke Internment Camp Commemoration along the Meadows-in-the-Sky Parkway.
Some citizens of Revelstoke urged the federal government to have internees complete the new road to the summit of Mount Revelstoke. The Dominion Parks Commissioner of the time, J.B. Harkin, agreed that they could provide a much-needed workforce for developing tourist facilities.
In 1915, an internment camp was built about halfway up Mount Revelstoke. From September 6 to December 20, 225 internees and 100 guards lived in log buildings. Weather conditions and labour disputes resulted in the men spending most of their time clearing snow and cutting firewood rather than working on road construction as had been expected. The water supply for the site was inadequate for the winter, so the internees were sent to Camp Otter in Yoho National Park, and the Mount Revelstoke camp was closed.
Although the First World War ended on 11 November 1918 some prisoners remained detained in other camps until the late spring of 1920, when Canada's first national internment operations finally ended.
Many of the internees were Ukrainian immigrants, who had come to Canada to work on construction of the railway and in forestry or mining operations. They were travelling with Austrian passports, as they had come from what was Galacia and Bukovyna, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire before the First World War. By the outbreak of the war, many of these men were considered aliens and interned if they were unemployed, without identity papers or had failed to report regularly to the police.
A new interpretive station near the internment camp on Mount Revelstoke tells this story and commemorates a little-known chapter in Canadian history. To learn more about the national parks labour camps story, read the comprehensive account, Park Prisoners by Bill Waiser, published by Fifth House Publishers. It covers the history of these camps between 1915 and 1946 in depth and contains many archival photographs.

One of our first views in the park in 2009.
A few years ago, Richard and I went for a hike in Hokkaido's Daisetsuzan Koen. We'd first visited in the summer of 2009 with a friend who guided to some of the park's most beautiful places. The next summer we returned to visit friends and explore a new section of the park. This essay, Guests of an Indifferent Host, is about that hike.
Will I go back and hike there again? You bet.

Yves Rossy is a pilot. Like most other pilots, he flies things. Unlike every other pilot — ever — the thing he flies is himself. Yves Rossy, pictured above, can fly.
Rossy served in the Swiss Air Force and later became a commercial jet airline pilot, having taken an acute interest in flying at an early age. But commanding enormous jet planes and multi-million dollar fighters was not enough for this particular aviator. He wanted to do something more, something unique, something which could change the world.
In 2006, Rossy began on his mission. He strapped himself into a concoction of his own devising — a jet fuel propelled carbon fiber wing — and took flight. He had just a wing to guide him — no controls, no gauges, no radio to air traffic control. He steered by bending his body in the direction he wished to go, tilting down and up, left and right, much like a bird. He managed to accomplish a feat many have dreamed of for generations — personal human flight.
The wing contains four kerosene powered jet engines capable of reaching over 100,000 revolutions per minute. While flying straight forward, Rossy can hit speeds over over 130 miles per hour and, when descending, can hit speeds of nearly one and a half times that. He needs to maintain a speed of 80 miles per hour to keep flight and lands by deploying a parachute, as seen below after his solo flight above Rio de Janeiro:
While Rossy may come off as a showboating daredevil, that's hardly the case. He's a well-worn innovator who has mastered his craft in hopes of blazing a trail for the future. In an interview with Aol Auto's Translogic (five minute video), Rossy explained that there are limits to what he's willing to do, out of safety concerns. For example, in order to take flight, Rossy needs to jump out of a plane, helicopter or hot air balloon; it's safer than taking off from the ground. The reason: in order to deploy his parachute safely, he needs to hit a minimum altitude of 800 meters, which he can get to himself, but it will take a full minute at his engines' maximum power. That's too long of a time period, says Rossy, to be without a "Plan B."
Perhaps one day, Rossy's innovation will be available for mass consumer use. But don't expect it to happen anytime soon. Rossy notes that the wing is incredibly difficult to fly, and even the most experienced pilots would have a hard time controlling it in mid-flight. Errors in piloting the wing can lead to horrific results, such as entering into a nearly impossible to control flat spin and, therefore, a violent crash landing.
Bonus fact: In the 1970s or 1980s, Williams International developed the X-Jet, a personal flying machine where the pilot would stand in an open-air pod-like thing and take flight. (The device, which can be seen in flight here, looks like the nickname it earned: the Flying Pulpit.) It never made it into the mainstream. It was loud, expensive, dangerous (hover over something combustible and it'd burn — so much for flying around your house), and inefficient — per Wikipedia, the military deemed the X-Jet to be inferior to helicopters.
From the Archives: Flying Signs: Getting a sign to trail an airplane is harder than you'd think, and requires a rather innovative solution.

All Clean Air Duct Cleaning: Dryer Vent Cleaning Now Available In Sandy, Utah
January 15, 2020 - /PressAdvantage/ - Centerville, Utah based All Clean Air Duct Cleaning, has announced that with their premier dryer vent duct cleaning service is now available in Sandy, Utah. The company offers their services in Kaysville, Layton, Lehi, Salt Lake City and many other areas across Utah.
Daryl Olsen of All Clean Air Duct Cleaning, says, "As energy costs increase, more people are becoming aware that their dryer vents may be one of the reasons their clothes are taking much longer to dry and their energy bills are higher than expected. If we are coming to clean your air vents, we can add on our dryer vent cleaning service at the same time. That's the best way to make sure that your entire home is in tip top shape through the cold winter months when heating systems and dryers are used more."
A recent customer review on Google highlights the difference that hiring professional cleaners can make. Kristi Sue Kearl gives the company top marks in her 5-Star review, saying, "My dryer was taking 1 1/2 hours to dry a load. We tried cleaning the vent tunnel with a Home Depot kit on our own and didn't see any improvement. In the process, we discovered that the dryer vented to the roof and came out right under a solar panel, which limited our access to the vent opening."
The review continues, "I explained this to Justin, who is a problem-solver and an out-of-the-box thinker. He came out with a partner. After they checked the dryer vent tunnel and found it was clean, Justin climbed into my attic and accessed the opening from under the roof. He came back down with a grate that had been at the exit of our vent; it was completely clogged with lint. Now we can dry a load in 30 minutes. I am absolutely thrilled!"
The company states that dryer vents often get damaged due to the build up of lint inside them. In addition to taking longer to dry clothes, owners should keep an eye on whether the clothes feel very hot at the end of the drying cycle, a burnt or stale odor lingers around the appliance or the laundry room feels very humid. If the hood flaps fail to open, or only open partially, it is a sign that there is a significant build up of lint and other debris. Learn more here: Dryer Vent Cleaning Sandy Utah.
In fact, dryers are the number one reason for household fires, as the venting and the lint trap are the two most common places where a fire could start. Across the US, over 2,900 home clothes dryer fires are reported each year, causing $35 million in property loss as well as many injuries. According to FEMA, some recorded cases even end in death. The number one reason for these fires is failure to clean the dryer.
All Clean Air Duct Cleaning can provide air duct cleaning, electrostatic furnace filter installation and dryer vent cleaning services at the same time. Those interested may set up an account with the company online and schedule an appointment. Getting air ducts cleaned can make a huge difference, which many people feel immediately—and others see it in the reduction of their monthly utility bills.
On the Google platform, Paul Herrera gives All Clean top marks for their air duct cleaning in his review, saying, "Our ducts had not been cleaned, possibly since the house was built, and we can make out the difference now. Thank you for the cleaning and sanitizing." Similarly, Leah Bingham says, "I am so happy that I went with All Clean Air Duct Cleaning. The cost they gave me over the phone is what I paid. Justin (the technician that came out) knew what he was doing and did a fantastic job! Justin exceeded all expectations! He worked so hard and got all of my ducts squeaky clean! There weren't any hidden costs."
Bingham adds, "I did decide while he was here that I wanted the dryer vent cleaned, but even though that was added on in the last moment, it didn't add much on to my bill. In the end, my total cost for the whole job (including sanitizing) was a little more than $400. I am beyond happy with this whole experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend All Clean Air Duct Cleaning!"
Separately, Olsen responds, "We are grateful to all our customers who leave their honest feedback online. It makes us very glad we could help them.

Innovative fashion designers lead the way on sustainability
LONDON — Innovative fashion designers are turning to such things as horseradish and nettles to make sustainable clothing and accessories to the delight of a growing number of buyers. While more consumers are paying closer attention to how the production of goods impacts the environment, old habits die hard. A buy-and-toss mentality persists despite a boost from celebrities helping to drive the upcycle and vintage movements. Actress Maggie Q, who created an activewear line from recycled fabrics, is among activists who see plenty of room for improvement. She says she feels "sick about fast fashion.'' "You hear people say, 'Well,...
Stocks rise on Wall Street as rally stretches to fourth day
NEW YORK — U.S. stocks rallied Monday, rising with European and several Asian markets following surprisingly strong reports on China's economy. Growth in factory activity and retail sales in the world's second-largest economy both beat analysts' expectations for last month. That layered on top of optimism from last week's long-awaited "Phase 1" trade deal between China and the United States, which removed some of the uncertainty that's hung over businesses and investors. The interim trade deal is one of a "trifecta of positive catalysts" that swept through the market last week and could help support it through the end of...
Kentucky gov's race stirs clash over casino suicide claims
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Entering the final days of Kentucky's bitter race for governor, Republican incumbent Matt Bevin exposed himself to a new attack by flatly denying his recorded claim that suicides happen nightly in casinos. Telling a debate audience Saturday night that the truth matters, Bevin challenged his opponent to produce a tape proving his denial wrong. Democrat Andy Beshear offered up the audiotape Sunday. The televised exchange turned Bevin's summer radio interview on WKDZ into a talking point for Democrats heading into the last full week of campaigning in the close gubernatorial contest. In the interview, Bevin claimed, without...
Companies reach tentative deal to settle opioids lawsuit
CLEVELAND — The nation's three dominant drug distributors and a big drugmaker have reached a tentative deal to settle a lawsuit related to the opioid crisis just as the first federal trial over the crisis was due to begin Monday, according to a lead lawyer for the local governments suing the drug industry. The tentative deal, details of which were to be announced later Monday, settles claims brought by the Ohio counties of Cuyahoga and Summit against distributors AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKessen and the manufacturer Teva. After five drug manufacturers, including Johnson & Johnson, reached settlements leading up to...
Schumer calls for federal probe of contaminated baby food
NEW YORK — The Senate's top Democrat is calling on the Food and Drug Administration to examine a report that found dozens of baby food products contaminated with lead and other metals. Sen. Chuck Schumer says Sunday the FDA must take more action to regulate the baby food industry. A study by Healthy Babies Bright Futures found the presence of heavy metals in 95% of the 168 baby foods that were tested. The study found 95% of the food tested contained lead, arsenic, mercury or cadmium. It found one in four baby foods that were tested contained all four metals....

Interview: Grohe's Patrick Speck on the brand's big design revolution
InterviewFeatures Wed 18th Jan 2023 by Amelia Thorpe
Feature by Amelia Thorpe | Wed 18th Jan 2023
Amelia Thorpe talks to Patrick Speck, leader, Lixil global design, EMENA, to hear how Grohe's focus on innovation is driving its future.
There can be little doubt that tap and shower specialist Grohe has come a long way in the last two decades. Following a difficult period, it was bought by a private equity firm in 2004, after which it then refocussed and was subsequently acquired by Japanese global power house, Lixil, in 2014. "Today, Grohe is a global brand, known for quality, technology and design – it has undergone a big design revolution," says Patrick Speck, leader, Lixil global design, EMENA.
The Grohe Design Team led by the respected Paul Flowers was the first bathroom fittings manufacturer to win the coveted title Red Dot Design Team of the Year in 2011. While Paul Flowers is now chief design officer for the entire Lixil group – which generated 2022 revenues of about 1.43 trillion Japanese yen and includes brands such as American Standard – it is down to Patrick Speck to drive forward Grohe's design over here. "In 2011, we had about 10 designers – now we have more than 120 across the group," says Speck. "The design values we have created are behind everything we do: our products must be easy to use, human in terms of texture, craftsmanship or colour that breaks the rigidity of a mass produced object, and offering great performance."
Speck points to the latest Rainshower Aqua ceiling shower modules, launched under its luxury-level Grohe Spa brand as an example of these design values. "It is very intuitive to use, has beautiful knurling on the control which operates as a grip and has an aesthetic function," he says. "The control also has a green light to act as a nudge to consumers that they can save water by regulating or pausing the flow when shampooing their hair."
Other new products include thin-walled ceramics, such as the Airio basin with 5mm thin edges, and a focus on brassware finishes. "Our intention is to have full harmonisation among faucets and accessories in the shower," he says. A "full line of new levers with inserts in different materials" will be launched in the spring.
More innovations include bespoke taps made using stainless steel powder put through the 3D printing process, with some super slim results. "The 3D printed version of the Allure tap, for example, uses 55% less material than the full brass version," he explains. Bespoke taps would not normally be possible from a mass producer like Grohe without the hefty expense of new tooling, but 3D printing allows for new opportunities: a recent example is a set of bespoke mixers created at just the right length to suit custom basins for an architect's project. "We need to untap the commercial potential of this," he says.
Grohe is well known for its commitment to sustainability, focussed on CO2-neutral production, water- and energy-saving product technologies and Cradle to Cradle certified products, plus the removal of unnecessary plastic in product packaging. "We have managed to reduce more than 30million single use plastic bags out of our packaging in the last two years," says Speck. Grohe has recently showcased a recycling shower prototype. "It is a product that we want to bring into the mainstream," he adds. The 'circular' solution is designed to clean, reheat and re-use water in order to use only a quarter of the water and a third of the energy typically required by a traditional shower.
"When shaping a new product, we are constantly reviewing how we can reduce the form without compromising the performance, maybe by flattening the packaging to use less material and optimising transportation – these are the challenges of today," he says.

Linda S. Heard
Once respected, perhaps even admired as an economic and social model, Turkey now risks losing allies. The proof, in a contest to win a two-year non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), which Ankara considered a done deal after it received letters of support from 160 countries, Turkey lost out to Spain by a considerable margin in a secret ballot.
Turkey received 60 votes from members of the UN General Assembly. Spain came away with 132. The results came as a major blow to Turkish officials who had confidently predicted victory, especially since their country's 2008 UNSC bid was a runaway success with 151 votes out of 193 going to Turkey.
Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu admitted that some UN member states were angered by his country's foreign policy, saying, "There may be those who are disturbed by our principled stance," adding, "We will not abandon this stance for the sake of votes."
The relationship between Turkey and many of its regional neighbors has turned chilly due to its staunch backing of the Muslim Brotherhood that several have branded "terrorist." US-led coalition countries were critical that one of the mightiest armed force in the region did nothing to prevent the Islamic State (IS) takeover almost half of the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani, but rather monitored the carnage unfolding through binoculars.
Erdogan's out-of-step stance was not appreciated by the international community but more than that, it was unwise when Kurds make up 20 percent of his country's population and many have been venting their fury during countrywide anti-government demonstrations, while others vowed all-out rebellion unless the government does more to assist their brethren under fire. As reported by the Turkish newspaper Zaman, earlier this month,
Erdogan stated that the PKK was no better than ISIL. His view goes a long way to explain his country's hitherto inaction bordering on obstruction. He fears that by arming Syrian Kurds, they will ultimately pose a threat to his own country. On the other hand, to be fair, Turkey has offered unstinting hospitality to 1.6 million Syrian refugees, it terms "guests" who are given access to jobs, health care and education.
However, within recent days, the Turkish stance has visibly softened. The government has made a concession by permitting Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga fighters to cross over into Syria to join the fight against IS; a change of heart that came just hours after US planes began dropping weapons and food to support the fighters in Kobani. But this is no policy change says Aaron Stein, an associate fellow at the UK's Royal United Institute for Defense and Security Studies. He maintains the "recent decision is the outcome of Turkish isolation, rather than Turkish inclusion," explaining that Turkey's fear of international isolation was its prime motivation.
However, Turkey still denies the US access to its Incirlik Air Base in the south of the country from which to launch airstrikes, unless its conditions — a buffer zone beyond its borders, no-fly zones over Syria and an extension of the conflict to bring down the Assad regime — are met. However worthy those goals may be, they could trigger unintended consequences. Both Moscow and Tehran have warned against broadening the fight to force Assad to step down without a UNSC resolution.
The secret UNSC ballot on Turkey's non-permanent membership may have been a wake-up call for President Erdogan and Prime Minister Ahmed Davutoglu. Their ideological-led policies are alienating allies, diminishing Turkey's global influence and risk internal civil unrest, especially since the country is facing an economic slowdown.

Camera IconCharles Hamlet was bitten by the dugite as he walked part of the Bibbulmun Track near Denmark yesterday.
A GRANDFATHER says a mobile phone app is to thank for saving his life after he was bitten by one the world's deadliest snakes in WA bushland yesterday.
Charles Hamlet, 72, was walking a remote section of the Bibbulmun track near Denmark in WA's south yesterday morning when he believes he was bitten by a dugite.
The experienced bushwalker said the highly venomous reptile was hidden in dense bush when he felt it latch on to his ankle.
Camera IconThe dugite spotted by the grandfather, after he was bitten on the ankle.
"I felt a prick in the leg and I swore at the snake... very carefully," he told 7 News Perth.
"Then I went a further five metres and sat down and went into first aid mode."
"I activated the emergency plus app and contacted triple-0.
"It was such a relief to see them, but I felt so guilty because it was raining and cold."
Despite being in severe pain Mr Hamlet said he used an emergency services app to call for help, with the mobile's GPS providing paramedics with his location.
Shortly after he was flown to Albany hospital, making a remarkable recovery that saw him discharged a mere 24 hours later.
Mr Hamlet says he's now been bitten by a deadly snake not once but twice while bushwalking - fortunately this time it was what experts refer to as a 'dry bite' where the fangs pierced his skin but he wasn't injected with venom.
Dugites are one of the most deadly snakes in the world with just one drop of venom able to cause the blood to clot, and it can kill within hours.
But expert Marc Lane, from the Armadale Reptile and Wildlife Centre, said advances in technology deaths from snakes should no longer occur.
"You should not die from a snake bite in Australia," he said.

While in Memphis, Gerry and I are excited to see some of the city's great premier attractions.
Highly recommended is the Pink Palace Museum which is a major science and history museum featuring a wide range of fascinating exhibits. This museum is part of a larger family of museums in the Pink Palace Family of Museums.
The Pink Palace, features some great exhibits which relate directly to the history of Memphis. One of the exhibits is an exact replica of a Piggly Wiggly, the very first self-serve supermarket which opened in 1916. It will be interesting to see how much things have or have not changed in over a hundred years.
The museum is also filled with exhibits featuring social change as well as archaeological findings.
The Pink Palace is also the home of the only IMAX theatre,( which I love) in the mid-south as well as the Sharpe Planetarium.The planetarium is a large theatre in which you can take a journey through the galaxy projected onto the ceiling in a spectacular fashion that is both entertaining and educational at the same time.
With a great variety of exhibitions and attractions the Pink Palace is definitely not to be missed when we are exploring Memphis.

70 percent of Millennials believe the way we pay for things will be totally different in five years—and they're the ones leading the way.
First, consider this: There are some 80 million Millennials in the U.S., according to Census data. This generation is larger than the Baby Boomers—and you know what an effect they had! Overall, Millennials make up 27 percent of the U.S. population.
Next, consider that Millennials grew up online. They're used to doing everything on their devices, from looking up directions and texting to, yes, banking. According to a FICO report, 80 percent of Millennials do their basic banking activities online—a far higher percentage than other demographics. Eighty percent check their balances online, 76 percent check for fraud online and 65 percent transfer money online.
Finally, consider this: Millennials' attitudes toward finances are surprisingly conservative. A study by Bankrate reports 63 percent of those ages 18 to 29 don't have a credit card. Concerned about debt due to high college costs and seeing their parents struggle during the Great Recession, Millennials are debt-averse and like dealing in cash.
Millennials' credit caution doesn't mean they carry paper money, however. Millennials are sparking a rise in the use of reloadable, prepaid debit cards. One-third of Americans 18-34 years old have used this type of debit card, compared to one-fourth of all Americans, according to a survey from TD Bank, and 60 percent of Millennials would consider using one, vs. 50 percent of the overall population.
They also rely heavily on peer-to-peer (P2P) payment apps such as Venmo and PopMoney. These apps connect directly to users' bank accounts and enable them to pay each other instantly with the app. It's perfect for Millennials, offering convenience and control and fitting their social, group-oriented lifestyle.
44 percent would prefer to use their phones instead of cash to pay for small items.
62 percent are comfortable with the idea of connecting their payment information to retailer apps in order to speed payment, and 45 percent are comfortable with the idea of connecting their payment information to wearable devices to speed payment.
The top features Millennials want from mobile payments are speed (cited by 50 percent), the ability to split payments with friends (45 percent) and the ability to keep better track of purchases (52 percent).
Already, Nielsen reports, 55 percent of mobile payments are made by smartphone users ages 18 to 34. If your business is one that typically accepts a lot of cash—such as a retailer, restaurant or bar—you need to get ready for mobile payments if you haven't yet done so.
Half of Millennials are already using or would consider nontraditional payment options like PayPal or Venmo in the next 12 months, compared to just 27 percent of those over 50. And nearly one-third (32 percent) of Millennial respondents are likely to use mobile wallet services like Apple Pay or Google Wallet in the next 12 months, compared to just 16 percent of those 35 and older.
The older edge of the Millennial generation is coming into its prime money-earning years. They are not going to start writing checks just because they're getting married and settling down.
Millennials are highly influential—and easily influenced by their peers. Already, acceptance of apps such as Venmo has been driven primarily by word-of-mouth recommendations from one Millennial to another.
Millennials are already proving they're comfortable with P2P payments, so it's a short leap from there to wider adoption of a wide variety of smartphone-based payments.
Millennials tend to be early adopters. As new technology like Apple Watch and Apple Pay rollout, this generation will be first in line to use it as a payment tool when the option becomes available.

Review - Philosophical History and the Problem of Consciousness
by Paul M. Livingston
Cambridge University Press, 2004
Review by Majid Amini, Ph.D.

Why has consciousness consistently eluded the explanatory net of analytic philosophers of mind? Paul Livingston's Philosophical History and the Problem of Consciousness is a meticulous attempt to diagnose the cause of this failure by tracing over the historical development of the various analytic treatments of consciousness. Indeed, in consort with Livingston's line of reflections, one may note that titles such as Daniel Dennett's Consciousness Explained and Jerry Fodor's Psychological Explanation are not only misnomers as consciousness and psychological phenomena still remain outside the reach of analytic explanatory framework, but also, and more significantly, the very explanatory framework used by analytic philosophers of mind has contributed to this elusion and eclipse of the core of consciousness. The introductory question above, as well as Livingston's diagnostic approach, has the unmistakable implication that there can be, if not already existent, explanatory matrices that not only eschew the debacles of analytic philosophers of mind but also shed light on the dark corners of consciousness. This review is, therefore, organized around the twofold examination of Livingston's diagnosis and prognosis of the "analytic ailment of mind."
Livingston's central contention is that analytic philosophy, since its inception and throughout its historical vicissitudes, has persistently embraced a specific structure of explanation that has simultaneously deprived it from delving deeply into the constitution of consciousness: namely, semantic structuralism. This is how the story is recounted in Livingston's historical reconstruction of the analytic tradition. Characteristically, Livingston claims, analytic philosophy is a linguistic inquiry. 'In particular, analytic philosophy typically investigates the conceptual and logical structure of language in order to understand experience and to explain its relationship to objective knowledge about the physical world' (p. 2; original emphasis). Since the turn of the twentieth century, the explanatory projects that would exemplify analytic philosophy of mind sought to elucidate the epistemology and ontology of our knowledge of the objective world on the basis of reasoning about the structure of experience or consciousness, i.e., in terms of the total pattern of logical or conceptual interrelationships of its basic elements. A typical trait that looms large in the analytic tradition is its tendency to entwine its explanatory project with a program of linguistic analysis, whereby the structure of experience is specified by means of a clarification of the logical relationships between propositions -- propositions that cover the entire epistemological gamut from those immediately describing experience at one end of the spectrum to the other end of the continuum comprising the more highly conceptual and interpretative ones.
Within this program, the analysis of experience is consistently identified with the analysis of the language of experience: a semantic analysis that is intended to unravel the logical and conceptual structure of this language. The fundamental function of this linguistic analysis is to bring out the network of the syntactic and semantic interrelationships of the terms and sentences that describe, explain, and express experience. The goal of analysis is then the identification and description of this structure of relations. But from the beginning of the analytic tradition, the basic elements of experience figure as the indefinable relata of this network of relations, the elements that can be described and explained only by reference to their semantically and conceptually relevant interrelations, and never in themselves. This configuration -- in which consciousness is constantly construed as immediate content, and objective language and explanation as relational -- has, despite alterations in detail and emphasis, continued to characterize the discussion of the problem of consciousness to the present time, through the various shifts in doctrine and method that analytic inquiry into experience has undergone over the past century.
The imposition of this structuralist framework of explanation on mental phenomena is, in Livingston's view, the crux of the difficulties that analytic philosophers of mind have been facing since the naissance of the tradition. In such an explanatory construction, particular items of consciousness acquire their significance only by being located in a broader structure of relations of one kind or another. That is, the basic elements or units of the structure fail to be accorded any intrinsic properties or characteristics. A structuralist explanation generally operates by first characterizing the nature of the system of interrelations in which a type of events or objects stand, and then explaining particular items by locating them within this system. It, therefore, should not be surprising that analytic philosophers of mind have had a hard time to cast any light on the intrinsic nature of consciousness and qualitative aspects of experience.
Physicalism and functionalism, as two of the most prominent analytic theories of mind, are exemplars of this trend of thinking. Physicalist theories of mind maintain that every state of consciousness can be described and explained in terms of basic physics. From an explanatory point of view, physicalism operates by locating each conscious experience within the total pattern of relations that physics can capture -- a pattern that typically consists of causal relations that are conceived of as exhaustive of reality. Similarly from an explanatory perspective, according to functionalism, mental states, including states of consciousness, are completely explainable in terms of their functional interrelationships with other mental states and physical states. On this understanding of mental states in terms of these interrelationships, states of consciousness acquire their import and significance only by being situated within a total pattern of relations. Yet, as it can be seen, both accounts avail themselves of a framework of explanation that operates at the cost of neglecting the non-structural and intrinsic aspects of conscious states. Thus, the recalcitrance and intractability of consciousness to analytic methods of investigation would be an inevitable outcome of the very explanatory schema adopted by the analytic tradition.
To generalize the diagnosis, Livingston remarks that the problems besetting the analytic project, in all its various promulgations, are in fact 'problems of the relationship of content to structure.' (p. 197; original emphasis) The forms of explanation and analysis characteristic of the analytic tradition have consistently been structural in that they have attempted to explain the nature of the referents of the terms for conscious states of mind in terms of the logical, conceptual, or functional structure of those terms to the undeniable desert and detriment of the content of those states as experienced non-relationally and in their own right. Consequently, it is no wonder that consciousness has relentlessly eluded the explanatory net of analytic philosophers of mind.
Now, should one decide to defer to Livingston's diagnosis of the analytic "ailment" of mind, what should the "therapy" be? Obviously the use of the words "ailment" and "therapy" here is intended to be reminiscent of a particular philosophical predilection that also seems to be in line with Livingston's own way of dealing with the conundrum of consciousness. However, before discussing what philosophical school of thought these words are indicative of, there are a number of concerns that need to be considered.
First, although Livingston dwells in great detail on the concept and characterization of "structural" schema of explanation, there is not much of a definition or delineation of what a "non-structural" explanation should look like. Or, more specifically, what exactly a non-structural property or feature in general, and of consciousness in particular, is. Most of Livingston's allusions to non-structural explications are negative and in contrast to structural explications. Even his evocation of descriptive terms such as "intrinsic" and "essential" is not very helpful since they still seem to derive their connotation more from contrastive structural concepts like "relational" than from non-structural notions. Interestingly enough, at one point, Livingston himself appears to come close to the same suspicion when he remarks that the ceaseless controversies about consciousness have led 'to the frustrating dialectical situation' in which the debate has degenerated into 'the bare existence or non-existence' of consciousness as conceived in itself (p. 19). Yet, he overlooks the possibility that these interminable quarrels may indeed be the result of a more fundamental metaphysical dispute over what exactly constitute "essential" and "intrinsic" about consciousness in particular and any object or event in general.
To err on the side of fairness, it should be said that Livingston does mention, though only en passant, two other supposedly alternative explanatory frameworks, viz., genetic and narrative explanations. These allegedly non-structural explanatory schemata are summarized respectively as explanations in terms of 'origins and histories of descent' and 'situating particular things or events within a larger narrative story' (p. 4). Yet, not only Livingston's discussion of these explanatory ersatz is too brief and summary, but also, and more importantly, it is not clear that ultimately such explanatory constructions are not similarly structural. Indeed, one might argue that such explanations are effectively parasitic on structural explanations for their seeming success and pragmatic purchase. Basically, the worry here is that in dealing with fundamental features of the universe, including consciousness, there might not be any other explanatory options than structural ones. And, in support of such an eventuality, one may easily summon philosophical precedents such as Kantian type of argumentations for cognitive closure and epistemic inaccessibility. In other words, because of human epistemological limitations, ultimate explanations are per force structural.
Secondly, Livingston rightly emphasizes the eminence and considerable contribution of linguistic or semantic treatment of conscious states of mind in the analytic tradition. Consequently, on occasions, he is brought to the issue of the priority of language over mental states and, by extension, to the issue of the relationship between natural language and consciousness. Specifically, Livingston endorses the analytic tradition's idea of 'the priority of language for our self-understanding' (p. 27; original emphasis), as well as the tradition's stress on the significance of natural language in the articulation and apprehension of conscious states of mind for an individual's self-knowledge -- what Livingston calls 'human self-image.' (p. vii) He commends analytic philosophy of mind for recognizing that 'our ways of understanding ourselves are inveterately and irreducibly linguistic, that we are humanly fated to determine ourselves through the language that we use' (p. 110).
This theoretical tendency, as revealed and recommended by Livingston, obviously rules out a reverse and Gricean-type of reducibility of meaning to mental states, a doctrine that would clearly confer the priority on conscious states of mind than on language. This observation patently raises two points: one, albeit a minor point, it betrays the touted theoretical monolithicity of analytic philosophers of mind. Two, and a rather major point, Livingston barely argues for the theory of the priority of language over mental states, a theory which in fact forms the bulwark of his alternative "therapy" for the "analytic ailment of mind." The significance of this point lies in the consideration that part of the reason why analytic philosophers have opted for a structural framework of explanation is the nature of language itself. That is, language in virtue of its productivity and systematicity, and in general due to its compositionality, ostensibly demands a structural schema for its successful explanation. In other words, the inadequacy of analytic accounts of consciousness might not so much arise from subscribing to structuralist explanatory strategies with their relational regimentations but from presuming the priority of meaning over mind. Should one thus accord a more fundamental status to conscious states of mind than to their linguistic or semantic representations, one would be in a better position to bestow on, at least, some mental states a more metaphysically sui generis and non-relational standing. But, paradoxically enough, this is the very desideratum for theories of mind that Livingston complains the analytic tradition misses.
Thirdly, along with the priority of language thesis, Livingston maintains that the language in question is 'the ordinary language of self-description and self-awareness' (p. 25). The contention is that reflection on the ordinary language with which we define and articulate claims about consciousness allows our experience to evince its intrinsic nature and non-structural constitution. On this understanding, our objective is to produce 'recognitions rather than theories' of 'the unthought foundations of our ordinary lives' (pp. 109 & vii respectively). What is, however, of consequence about these assertions is Livingston's underlying thought that "ordinary language" and naturally, by extension, its assorted statements about consciousness are atheoretical. But, the problem here is that at no point does Livingston adduce any arguments to justify this atheoretical construal of ordinary language. On the contrary, if nothing else, all the recent disputes about the status of folk psychology and the attendant contestations over theory-theory and its rival, the so-called simulation theory, and eliminativism are testimony to the claim that the ordinary language is not as theory-innocuous as Livingston innocently intimates.
Nonetheless, Livingston's suggestion about the theory-unladenness of ordinary language conveniently connects the discussion to his "therapy" for the analytic "ailment" of mind. As can be readily surmised, the course of treatment that he prescribes is very much a variation on the late Wittgensteinian practice. For Livingston, forms of philosophical inquiry that do not accord linguistic analysis of the ordinary language a privileged status miss substantial and decisive insights into, among other philosophical concerns, the problem of consciousness. Approvingly, he paraphrases Wittgenstein's view 'that the philosopher's task is not to expose unknown facts or beliefs, but only to clarify what we already know, what already lies before us insofar as we speak a language' (pp. 226-7; original emphasis). In his own words, Livingston's Wittgensteinian analytic approach is concisely captured by the following five rubrics:
· The method of analytic reflection is a method of self-reflection.
· The method of analytic reflection is not a "third-person" method.
· The method of analytic reflection is not a "first-person" method.
· The method of analytic reflection produces clarifications, not accounts.
· The method of analytic reflection answers to specific philosophical needs. (pp. 225-32)
However, as indicated above, Livingston's approach begs the issue of the atheoretical nature of ordinary language and thereby misses all the critical connections with the recent developments in the field of consciousness. Likewise, the inherent ascientific, if not anti-scientific, and asystematic, if not anti-systematic, elements of his method of philosophizing endanger, rather than endear, his findings about mental phenomena. It goes without saying that the philosopher's function is not to expose unknown facts, yet, as a cursory glance at the philosophical history of mind unequivocally shows, philosophers cannot afford standing aloof of facts either.
In conclusion, despite some of the foregoing concerns, it would be amiss not to commend Philosophical History and the Problem of Consciousness for its deft description of the details and differentiations of the various analytic theories of mind and its adroit articulation of the methodological and theoretical tenets of analytic accounts of consciousness.

Residents in Nottinghamshire could face waiting two weeks before being allowed back in their homes after heavy rain led to a landslide.
Thirty-five homes in Bank End Close and Stone Bank, Mansfield, were evacuated after parts of a cliff gave way.
Some residents living by the old Berry Hill Quarry have been allowed back.
Mansfield District Council said people from about 19 houses will be in emergency accommodation while clearance work continues for the next two weeks.
"This work will include the installation of concrete blocks and also the further removal of some tall and overhanging trees and light vegetation," a statement said.
"All affected residents have been able to return to their properties to collect essential items and the council has a 24-hour onsite security presence."

Last week dozens of homes in Worksop were evacuated after the town flooded, with two homeless men rescued from a wheelie bin where they were sleeping.
The Environment Agency said at least 75 properties were confirmed flooded in Nottinghamshire.
Natalie and Jon Palmer have been in a hotel with their three children, and said the experience has been "a living nightmare".
"We have been told it will be two weeks before we can go home but I think it will be much longer than that," said Mrs Palmer.
"Anything could happen depending on the weather."

Col Holmes, who lives in Berry Hill Road at the top of the cliff, said the council had been aware of problems with the cliff since 2017.
"The council wrote to us and said the cliff was unstable but nothing has been done about it," he said.
"Luckily nobody was hurt but there is anger among residents.
"We knew this was coming... and it will happen again."

The council said previous work to move the vegetation works was not in the vicinity of where the slip happened.
Hayley Barsby, Mansfield District Council chief executive, said the issues at Berry Hill Quarry were "hugely complex" due to the close proximity of houses.
