Improving the living environment with underground recycling
Area by area, AF Bostäder is replacing all its waste stations with Underground Waste Systems (UWSs). Initially, it entails a considerable investment, but there are many benefits in the long term. Waste sorting increases, waste management becomes more cost-effective and above all the students get a living environment that is clean, tidy and secure.
The Underground Waste System (UWS) is a standard system used by the City of Lund among others. A UWS consists of a 3–5 cubic metre container that is concealed in a concrete caisson under the ground. The only thing visible above ground is a cleanly designed, letterbox-like opening. At each station there are eight or more containers with openings for glass, plastic, metal, newspapers, paper packaging, residual waste and food waste.
"Traditional waste stations often consist of container solutions that are bulky, fenced off and difficult to access, and can feel dark and unsafe," says Peter Molin, building project manager at AF Bostäder. "That's why we are gradually switching to UWSs in all our areas. In 2020, Ulrikedal and Delphi got a station, each with 14 UWSs. In 2021, we will set up the last station at Delphi and we will then have all of our 28 waste stations underground."
AF Bostäder owns the on-site construction, while the municipality takes care of emptying and washing the facility. The system is flexible and has a range of advantages.
"Among other things, all the concrete caissons that house the different containers have the same dimensions, which means that the sorted categories can be moved around or changed to another type as time goes on, for example if the need for one sorted category proves to be greater than another in the future," says Peter Molin.
"The old containers were collected by a container lorry, emptied at the municipal facility and then driven back – a noisy and lengthy process. The new UWSs are lifted up by a silent, electric-powered crane, emptied on a loading platform and then placed back in position immediately. This means less heavy transport in the area and also less littering, as the containers are always in place. Being placed underground also means that the containers are cooler, which reduces the risk of a bad smell."
The new system helps to increase waste sorting and reduce residual waste. In addition, the UWSs enable a considerably more pleasant living environment for the students.
"By using the UWSs, we can create an open, clean and tidy environment connected with waste management," says Peter Molin. "We also plan the switch to the new stations so that they are carried out in connection with a major revamp of the housing area, for a better overall result."
"For example, Vildanden got its UWSs at the same time as new bike parking facilities, barbecue places with seating, new garden layout, better outdoor lighting and a boule court," says Peter Molin. "And at Ulrikedal, the initiative is part of a larger rebuilding project in which the entire outdoor environment is being remade from scratch. There, we are also putting in a new garden layout, but also an outdoor gym and space for sunchairs."
In a broader sustainability perspective, the new UWS stations are complemented by the Green Room, which is AF Bostäder's new design for bulky waste stations.
"Students can hand in batteries, electronics, light sources and bulky furniture at the Green Room. There are also reuse shelves where the students can leave things that are clean and intact, and then take something home with them. The Green Room interior is light and pleasant with clear signage and is to inspire the students to minimise their waste, increase their recycling and try the reuse approach. In areas where it is possible, the Green Room is placed adjacent to the UWS station, so that everything is together in one and the same place," says Peter Molin.

New non-toxic plant protection system uses hot water
AF Bostäder has improved its plant protection system. Now, weeds are cleared from impervious surfaces using only hot water. The system is efficient, eco-friendly and easy to use.
Introduction of climate impact calculations
AF Bostäder has begun to carry out climate impact calculations for new construction, starting with Hippocampus. The aim is to map emission sources and in time reduce the climate impact of new construction.
Green Room inspires reuse
AF Bostäder's bulky waste stations have been given a new design to inspire the students to minimise their waste, increase their recycling and find satisfaction in reuse. Say hello to the Green Room!
Continuing challenge to be 100% fossil fuel-free
In 2016, AF Bostäder decided to be 100% fossil fuel-free in terms of electricity, heating, transport and equipment by the end of 2020. A minor volume of fossil fuels is still used, but emissions have been reduced by 92%. Over the next five years, the focus will be on indirect emissions – an area in which the company has the greatest possibility to exert an influence.
Successful textile collection
In Sweden we are good at waste sorting, but only about 20% of clothing is recycled – something AF Bostäder wants to improve. Since 2015, the students have collected 130 tons of textiles in easily accessible containers from Human Bridge.
A better feeling without fabric conditioner
Most of AF Bostäder's laundry rooms have automatic detergent dosing, which minimises the risk of using too much detergent. From 2020, all laundry rooms are also fabric conditioner-free, which further reduces the use of chemicals.
Brilliant energy savings
During 2020, AF Bostäder changed older light sources to LEDs on facades and lampposts, and in stairwells at four housing areas. The switch means more efficient lighting, longer lamp lifetime, increased security and an energy saving of 70%.
CO2e emissions have fallen by 92% from 2016 to 2019
AF Bostäder has a goal to become 100% fossil fuel-free by the end of 2020. Challenges remain within the areas of company vehicles and business travel.
Good initiatives and inspiration stimulate better waste sorting
In 2019, AF Bostäder renewed its goal for waste management and continued to create simpler waste sorting conditions for the students. The approach involves combining practical and well thought-out measures with encouragement, nudging and inspiration.
Only sound building materials
Striving for a construction site free from environmentally hazardous products, materials and chemicals is a considerable challenge. AF Bostäder uses the Basta and SundaHus services and notes all products in a digital logbook.
Sustainability manual introduced for new production
AF Bostäder is in an expansive phase and building student housing on a large scale every year. The company sets stringent requirements for sustainability in its new production and has introduced its own sustainability manual as support for housing development.
Housing for insects
AF Bostäder opened 25 insect hotels in 2019 as a contribution to our natural surroundings and biodiversity.
Waste sorting is better with underground recycling stations
AF Bostäder is replacing more and more traditional waste stations with Underground Waste Systems (UWSs). Waste sorting becomes simpler, management more cost-effective and the living environment is cleaner, neater and safer.
New valves ensure more consistent heating
In 2018, AF Bostäder carried out improvements on the indoor climate at four properties. All regulating valves and thermostatic valves were replaced, and tenants now have a more consistent indoor temperature.
Business ethics guidelines provide increased clarity
AF Bostäder has a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of corruption. Preventive work is important and therefore new guidelines for business ethics were adopted in January 2018.
Up to 85% of tenants' residual waste is incorrectly sorted
An analysis of spot checks in randomly selected housing areas shows that between 70–85% of tenants' residual waste, mainly food waste, is wrongly thrown away – and could have been recycled.
Greenhouse gas emissions have fallen 89% from 2016 to 2018
For the second year in succession, AF Bostäder reduced its greenhouse gas emissions – down by 89% since 2016. The reduced climate impact is mainly due to switching to renewable district heating and electricity.
Detergent-free laundry rooms, the year's cleanest news
AF Bostäder opened two new laundry rooms at Vildanden, where the tenants can wash their clothes using only cold water. The new technology reduces both energy consumption and the spread of chemicals.
Good response to new films on recycling
Resource usage is an area in which AF Bostäder has considerable possibilities to make a positive impact. The target is that 50 % of total waste is to be sorted.
AF Bostäder's first Sustainability Report (2017) is here
AF Bostäder has long been involved in active environmental management. During 2016, we began to widening the perspective further and started to report on the activities in a Sustainability Report.
Almost half of total waste is sorted 2017– and the percentage will increase
Resource usage is an area in which AF Bostäder has considerable possibilities to make a positive impact. Using smart and efficient solutions, AF Bostäder creates good conditions for waste sorting and recycling.
Setting high aims for lower energy consumption
AF Bostäder works intensively to reduce energy consumption. The focus is on properties built before 2009 and the aim is a 15 % reduction in energy consumption among the older properties in the portfolio by 2019.
Towards a fossil fuel-free future
AF Bostäder reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by almost 80 % in the period 2016–2017. A contributing factor is the change to renewable electricity in the properties– an initiative suggested by a proactive tenant.
Sponsor project for young migrants
In the autumn of 2017, ten of AF Bostäder's corridors and over 50 tenants took part in a social project in cooperation with the pro-inclusion association Föreningen Hållihopp in Lund.
Don't waste the waste!
When AF Bostäder realized that the cartakers spent about 2-3 full-time posts per year to keep track of the waste stations, the information campaign "Do not waste the waste" was born.
Congratulations Bokompakt - Solar System of the Year 2015!
AF Bostäder and Bokompakt have been awarded the "Skåne Solar Award 2015" in the "Solar Cells of the Year" class.
A Swedish Classic? No, a Lund Classic!
If your employees are doing well, then AF Bostäder are doing well! That's why AF Bostäder invests heavily in wellness, happiness and fellowship
Halved heat consumption
We continue to optimize energy use in the older property portfolio. That's why we installed our first geothermal plant at Kämnärsrätten - and halved the property's heat consumption.

The cabinet of Prime Minister Erna Solberg explicitly says it no longer wants to subsidise the digging out of black rock from the Spitsbergen mountains.
In the fiscal budget presented by the government Thursday, the mines of Svea and Lunchefjell are proposed closed and abandoned and a cleanup of the surrounding areas initiated.
Only Mine No 7, a smaller deposit, is to be kept in operation in order to provide supplies to the local coal-fuelled power plant.
«This is the end of a more than 100 years long era of coal mining in Svalbard», says writer and Svalbard analyst Per Arne Totland. He believes economic concerns is the main reason why the mines are being closed.
Over many years, Norway has pumped millions of kroner into the Svalbard coal industry. And the economic troubles of state mining company SNSK have mounted following lower coal prices.
The company report from Q2 this year states that there is available financing only until the end of 2017 and that further company activities will depend on external investments.
The closure of the Svalbard mining industry comes as no surprise. A government white paper on the archipelago from 2016 announced a mining moratorium on extraction from the Svea and Lunchefjell mines and underlined that "there is significant uncertainty connected with a restart of the mining".
Other industries were highlighted and presented as replacement, first of all tourism, research and higher education.
However, it is a paradox, Per Arne Totland argues, that the mining is being shut down in a period when the international pressure against Norway's Svalbard policy is increasing from several angles.
The coal mining has been the key industry at Svalbard ever since Norway won sovereignty over the archipelago in 1920. And the miners have been of great geopolitical importance for Norway as a means for maintaining business and settlement in the area.
«The SNSK has until now been one of the most important tools in the Norwegian toolbox on Svalbard, and what the government now actually is doing is to put this tool aside,» Totland says.
Furthermore, Totland argues, it might be more expensive for Norway to close the mines than to keep them open. The closure and cleanup of the mines is estimated to cost up to 1 billion kroner, while it can not be excluded that the Svea and Lunckefjell mines would actually have been able to make money.
«And the re-opening of mining would have given 200 new jobs over the next 12 years, which is significant for the small economy of Svalbard,» the analyst says to the Barents Observer.
«And it would have given us time to restructure the society», he adds.
Svalbard is a sovereign part of Norway and managed by Norwegian legislation. At the same time, the Svalbard Treaty from 1920 gives other signatory states the right to engage in exploitation of local natural resources.
When the Norwegian mining company closes and abandons its mines, other companies could potentially move in and take over the activities.
There are obligations connected with the mining acreage and licenses, and these could potentially be taken over by other stakeholders, says Per Arne Totland.
«Mining companies from other signatory countries can raise demands for the licenses and start up mining in the former of SNSK», he warns.
«And these companies might be subsidised by their national government and consequently not be dependent of commercial interests».
Russia has for decades been strongly represented in Svalbard. A total of 570 people now live in the settlement of Barentsburg and the Russian company Arktikugol has since the early 1930s extracted coal on the archipelago.
The Norwegian government Svalbard budget is presented as military presence in Arctic waters is on the increase along with a consequent growth in the strategic role of the archipelago.
Over the last years, Russia has built up a major new and upgraded military base at the nearby archipelago of Franz Josef Land. This base includes a 14,000 square meters military complex with living and working conditions for up to 150 soldiers, as well as air field built for fight jets.
A 2016 report from the Russian Ministry of Defence, made available to the public last week, says the Norway's Svalbard policies raises the «potential risk of war». Norwegian authorities are seeking to establish «absolute national jurisdiction over the Spitsbergen [Svalbard] archipelago and the adjacent 200 nautical miles maritime boundary around», the report writes and accuses the country of unilateral revision of international agreements.


Just for fun I cropped my 32 panel Orion mosaic and redid this portion of the image. I used a slightly different color scheme, the original was too red for my liking. I added some star spikes with StarTools.
The 3 stars of Orion's belt (from left to right) are Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka. From what I have found, Alnitak and Mintaka are blue supergiants roughly 1200 light-years away and Alnilam(slightly less blue) is 2000 ly away.

The Yamraj that wasn't
Ask anyone familiar with Hindu mythology to visualise Yama or Yamraj and the first thing that you would get is a huge dark green man with near fearful physicality. His countenance is a suitable justification for the role he plays; that of the lord of death. Yamraj is the eventual ruler of souls and decides the fate of Earthlings, making him fearful among the population. But, what if Yamraj is not as petrifying as he is made to look like? What if Yamraj has a poetic heart? Can he still do justice to his responsibilities? Mrinal Chatterjee's Yamraj 5003 explores this interesting insight into the world of the wrathful king.
In a world of fantastical characters, Chatterjee pours in another fascinating idea. There is not one but a multitude of cloned Yamas, thanks to the burgeoning population on Earth and the protagonist of the novel only makes for the number 5003. What puts a twist to this Yamraj's story is a curious mishap by Heaven's own journalist, Narad.
However, the result of the mishap has far-reaching consequences on the characters and raises questions that even the Trinity is unable to face.
The novel delves deep into a pertinent question that has been bugging humankind for ages. Are directives imperative to sustain the natural course of time or are they just trappings which fail to address the demands of a situation? By putting Yamraj at the centre of the question, the author explores the irony through the lens of a character known for his polarising persona. The Yamraj in Chaterjee's novel questions the norm rather than shrink under the demands of his duty. The reader will definitely enjoy the clever way in which the author weaves real world problems into the narrative.
What is interesting is that author adds many titbits of information for the readers which works to keep them hooked. So, if you want to know how Narad really came into being or Yama's sister, this book definitely provides these little gems. Another interesting point is the co-relation of heavenly deities to professionals. Sample this, Narad is the quintessential journalist who does not just poke his nose around every situation in Triloka, he also makes sure the news is spread far and wide with the correct customisations. No, Chatterjee's Narad does not manipulate stories, he just tweaks it as per the personality of the God.
The author does not just stop at Narad. He makes sure that the prevalent issues on Earth are part of the heavenly discussion, too. And, ironically, in this book, Yamraj 5003 is the hero. So, while Yamraj swiftly points out the bias of the lords against women, he gets cheered from the crowd for his stand supporting women. Even the women in hell and heaven had not left their feminism behind. To a reader, this also raises the larger question about how we view our scriptures. Why is it that a woman is always lauded for her sacrifices and a man for his heroic abilities?
But, what happens when a person goes beyond his call of duty? Is he necessarily encouraged or are his actions only seen as antics that question the powers?
One aspect that acts a deterrent to the storyline is the potpourri of unrelated sub-stories which are not necessarily an extension to the story. There are too many issues cramped inside a small story, which only distracts the reader from the story. Also, readers must note that the book was originally published in Odia, which explains why the language does not necessarily reveal a particular style or flow.

My mom always complains that I create a mess when I am at kitchen. Well, as they say "A tidy laboratory means a lazy chemist". I love to play with different spices and herbs when I am at kitchen, you never know what big new invention can happen.

I tried this recipe again yesterday for lunch and my whole family loved this finger-licking dish.

Home / Media / Jimmy Butler says Miami Heat still believe they should have won championship against Lakers
Jimmy Butler says Miami Heat still believe they should have won championship against Lakers
By Peter Dewey
Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler believes that his team should have won the 2020 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Heat fell to the Lakers in six games, but Butler and company put up a good fight against the likes of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Still, Butler and the Heat think that if they were healthy, they would have won.
"We still think that we should have won—and we were down a couple of guys," Butler said when speaking to GQ's Zito Madu.
This season, the Heat have gotten off to a slow start with Butler sidelined with an injury for several games. However, Miami still figures to be one of the beasts in the Eastern Conference once fully healthy.
In six games this season, Butler is averaging 15.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game.
Now that Miami has locked up star Bam Adebayo, the Heat seem comfortable building around the core of Butler and Adebayo for years to come.
For this season, Butler is focused on getting back to the NBA Finals and winning this time around.

Trump blamed Obama on tensions with Turkey
U.S. President Donald Trump blamed Obama on rising tension with Turkey over S400 issue.
MojNews- U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday gave strong messages on a wide array of global issues in his closing speech at the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan.
In the Q&A session of his speech, in response to a question about the S400 - F35 tension between the U.S. and Turkey , Trump said he puts America first in all matters but cannot turn a blind eye to Turkey's unfair treatment by former US administration, referring to Barack Obama 's handling of Turkey's request to purchase U.S. defense systems.
Despite their longstanding strategic alliance as members of NATO , since 2017 Turkey and the U.S. have been at odds over Turkey's decision to buy the S-400, a Russian-made missile defense system, and U.S. threats to break its contract to sell Turkey F-35 jets over the dispute.To defend itself, Turkey first sought to purchase U.S.-made Patriot missiles, but even as the U.S. was sending weapons and ammunition to Turkey's avowed enemies, the terror group YPG/PYD in northern Syria, Washington chose to ignore its ally's needs and national interests and rebuffed Turkey's overtures.
Despite growing calls from the U.S. for Turkey to abandon its deal with Russia, Turkish officials describe their transaction with Russia as a "done deal."
"Obama administration said no, no, no to Turkey when they wanted to purchase Patriots and they [Turkey] bought S400," Trump said and called Obama administration's reluctance and failure to sell Patriots to Turkey a 'mess'.

One of the things we heard from this year's applicants was that they loved having the option to choose which essay prompt to respond to. So we're keeping that feature but providing two options per short answer group rather than three. We kept the ones that seemed to provide the best platform for sharing something meaningful and unique about yourselves. We also made a minor tweak to the career goal essay to make it more straightforward, because that's what we're looking for — straightforward.
All applications are due by 11:59 EST on the day of the deadline in order to be considered within that round. Michigan Ross also encourages international students apply in Round 1 or Round 2 because of visa requirements and to ensure consideration for scholarships.

Nicholas Winton, a 29-year-old British stockbroker, planned a big, fun year-end vacation.
His colleagues in London would mostly visiting be family and celebrating Christmas. Winton, who had Jewish ancestry but had been baptized in the Anglican church, decided to go on a ski trip to Switzerland instead.
However, at the last minute, he had a change of plans.
This whole story takes place in 1938 — Winton was born in 1909 — and so here's a quick history refresher on what was happening in late 1938 in Europe, and what upended his trip:
October 1-10: the Nazi annexation of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia,
October 30: the brutal expulsion of 17,000 Polish Jews from Germany, and
November 10: Kristallnacht, in which thousands of German Jews were beaten and arrested, and Nazis destroyed Jewish businesses and synagogues.
Against that, Winton had a friend named Martin Blake, who was working with refugees in Prague, and who asked Winton to skip the ski trip and come there instead.
Firsthand, Winton saw the horrible reality of life under the Nazis firsthand. War now seemed inevitable, and things looked hopeless for thousands. Back in the United Kingdom, a program called Kindertransport allowed Austrian and German Jewish children without parents to settle temporarily in the country—but there was no such program for Czechoslovakian children.
So, Winton basically created one himself.
Starting with almost no resources, headquartered in a hotel room, at a kitchen table, and ultimately out of a Prague storefront, he recruited volunteers, raised money, forged documents, bribed Gestapo agents, and compiled data on 5,000 Czech Jewish children he hoped to get out of the country.
The children's parents gave them up—assuming, accurately in almost all cases, that they'd never see them again.
It was an incredibly difficult logistical task. Working with his mother, Winton raised money and recruited British families to serve as foster parents for the children.
Ultimately, Winton returned to England to coordinate the effort-and amazingly-to continue working at his day job on the stock exchange, since he and his mother were contributing their own money to the Czech children's relief effort.
Starting in March 1939, Winton and his colleagues got eight trainloads of Czech children out of the country, carrying 669 children in all. Another 250 children were aboard the largest train, scheduled to leave Prague and travel through Germany itself to the North Sea on September 1, 1939.
But that was day Germany invaded Poland and World War II began, and the train never made it. All of the children on that train are believed to have died eventually in concentration camps.
With his hopes of continuing the rescue effort dashed, Winton joined the Royal Air Force and served for the rest of the war. Afterward, he lived a fairly normal life.
He married a Danish woman, Grete Gjelstrup, and they had three children. And for five decades, Winton said nothing of what he'd accomplished on the eve of World War II. The world entirely forgot, as well.
In 1988, however, his wife came across a "long-hidden scrapbook-crammed with names, pictures, letters from families, travel documents, and notes crediting his colleagues," according to the New York Times. She "asked for an explanation. He gave her a general idea, but said he thought the papers had no value and suggested discarding them."
Instead, Winton's wife gave the scrapbook to an historian. A BBC television program followed, as did other reports and films. Winton was ultimately honored by the Czech, British, American, and Israeli governments. He was knighted in 2003.
Still, he viewed comparisons between himself and people like Oskar Schindler and Raoul Wallenberg with "bewilderment and disbelief," according to a biographer who herself had been one of the rescued children, and who was quoted in the Times.
Winton died at age 106 in 2015. I suspect my readers in the UK will already know his name, but he'll be name for many others.
Besides the fact that it's just a great story, I'm sharing it for timely inspiration. I don't know what's going to happen with Thanksgiving and Christmas and other end-of-year holidays this year. But things will be different.
The link I shared yesterday about the CDC recommending "outside gatherings" and "no loud music," to say nothing of no traveling for Thanksgiving, has gone a bit viral.
Anyway, I doubt many of us will have the chance to do something as world-historic and far-reaching as what Winton wound up doing instead of his ski trip in 1938. But if some of us look hard enough, we might find a way to turn disappointment into opportunity.
President-elect Joe Biden announced his chief of staff: Ron Klain, 59, who was previously his chief of staff as vice president. It also probably did not hurt his chances that on January 30, he published an article entitled, "Coronavirus Is Coming—And Trump Isn't Ready." (Fox News, The Atlantic)
I don't want to bog this down with politics every day, even though I feel strongly. So, just a couple of links: a sort of update on the state of President Trump's attempts to dispute the election, and the "long-shot scenario" his most aggressive advisors recommend (basically convincing GOP-led state legislatures to replace their electors with pro-Trump slates, regardless of the vote). Karl Rove is among Republicans now saying Biden's win "won't be overturned," though. (The Washington Post, Axios, WSJ)

India is highly populated country and among them more than 40% are students. Though all students go to school, colleges, universities etc but everybody is not a good students. Our education systems categorize students according to the grade cards like students who scored above 90% in class 10 are brilliant and they should choose science as their higher classes, then comes students who scores from 75 to 90% they are considered as good students and they are advised to take commerce or commerce and science oriented streams and students below these percentage are considered as average students and they are told to take arts. These categories of students are looked down upon and considered useless. Even parents of these students do get frustrated and keep on worrying about the future of their children as they fail to score good marks.
It is very important to educate these parents that scoring of good marks in school or colleges has nothing to do with being successful in their lives. And studying science is not the only way out of getting good marks, there are many fields in which marks are not so important and even after scoring lesser marks one can do very well in life and can be successful in life.

Origin of the Species: 1973 Yamaha TZ750 Prototype Road Racer #001
by tad · March 29, 2016
The second of three very rare Yamaha TZ750 race bikes available this past week, this 1973 model is claimed to be a rare prototype machine. Fans of both ClassicSportBikesforSale.com and RareSportBikesforSale.com have proclaimed all three of these machines to be overpriced, but you can't argue that they are very cool and very valuable motorcycles regardless of their asking prices. Yamaha's TZ750 was all brawn and no brains, a power-mad beast of a bike that packed 140hp into a sub-400lb package good for 185mph, with basically terrifying handling when it was introduced. But that power came with reliability, and the TZ dominated AMA racing for years in spite of its lethally bad manners.
This example is supposedly a "prototype" numbered #001, although I'd definitely want to consult with a TZ750 expert before plunking down my hard-earned cash. It's certainly in impressive cosmetic condition and will undoubtedly look amazing on display. Early TZ's used a twin-shock rear suspension as seen here, although later bikes moved on to a more modern monoshock set up that vastly improved handling from "scary" to "less scary" as the bike struggled to cope with increased power from the significantly revised powerplant that went from 700cc's in early bikes to the full 750cc's in the name.
From the original eBay listing: 1973 Yamaha TZ750 Prototype #001 for Sale
This is the rare only one built by the Yamaha Race department. It was finished in 1973 for Kel Caruthers to inspect and make final changes for the completion of the production TZ700/750 for release in 1974 for Daytona and European distribution.
What you see are some of the salvaged parts that were intercepted on the way to the crusher and torch. The main part being the frame and swing-arm stamped 409-100001.
This bike remained in the hands of factory rider Sadeo Asami until it was returned to Yamaha USA in the late 70`s.
I sat in storage until 2012 when I was able to purchase the parts. A good friend and I spent 3 years bringing it back to as last race condition and another year to where it is now.
This is the bike that changed racing history.
I would be curious, and I'm sure the seller can tell you, whether or not it runs. From the description, it sounds as if it does. This would obviously make a beautiful display piece and centerpiece to a collection, but racing machines I feel should always be kept in running condition, even if it's only for parade laps and demonstrations. The Buy It Now price is set at $78,000 which, as stated previously, is very high for a TZ750. They're pretty rare, but 600 were made and, even accounting for the attrition that naturally occurs during racing, it's possible to find these regularly circling tracks in vintage racing events.
Regardless, I'm happy to see the bike offered up for sale, so we can all drool over it and think about how many extra kidneys we'd need to grow in order to be able to afford it….

Tad, this TZ is very cool. However, there is a very rare '83 Kawasaki that is the racing version of the Eddie Lawson Replica. Only 28 were built by Kawasaki, they were built to compete in AMA Superbike racing. There is a lot of Rob Muzzy in these bikes. You had to have connections to buy one of these. It can be found on ebay under "Kawasaki:Other" pick the years from 1981 to 1983.
tad says:
Thanks for the heads up on that Kawi! I did see it, but felt like I couldn't really accurately speak to the bike's authenticity.

Blockchain — which has been hailed as a game-changing technology that could revolutionize whole industries — will be so commonplace in 2019 that it'll become "boring," according to the MIT Technology Review.
MIT observed that distributed ledger technology has been widely praised for its potential to transform healthcare, banking, supply chain management, and even the entertainment industry.
MIT said the move to normalize blockchain in 2019 is being facilitated by mega-corporations like Walmart and by institutional momentum building on Wall Street.
This follows a similar move by French grocery mega-chain Carrefour, which is using blockchain to improve food safety by tracking chicken, eggs, and tomatoes as they travel from farms to stores.
Carrefour — Europe's largest retailer with over 12,000 locations around the world — says blockchain can help it detect and prevent outbreaks of salmonella linked to eggs and poultry, which are a major problem in the food industry.
A recent report indicates that the auto industry is also betting big on blockchain. Auto executives believe that the blockchain promise of secure, traceable transactions and improved transparency of information can streamline supply chain management.
All of these moving pieces suggest that notwithstanding the current Crypto Winter, the industry is laying the foundation toward mainstream adoption.
This is why Overstock founder and CEO Patrick Byrne is exiting the retail business — so he can focus exclusively on blockchain.
Accordingly, Byrne has invested in 19 blockchain companies. One of those ventures involves a $6 million investment in an open-source, blockchain-based crypto social network called Minds.
Interested to see how common blockchain will be, even to the commonfolk.
Even the entertainment industry, huh.
Ooo a blockchain-based crypto social network. With no censorship? That's something we've got to see.
How groundbreaking is 2019 going to be? We shall wait and see.
@elixir That is something to look forward to. Zero censorship is going to be difficult.
Ah, food safety is on their minds too, that's a great move on Carrefour's part.
@bell Yeah. Quite an unexpected move on Carrefour's part.
@hola55 Well, we shouldn't be too surprised that they are putting in good effort.
@bell True. They do want to keep up with the times too.
@hola55 Haha, yeah. So they jumped on the bandwagon.
@bell Soon, everyone else will follow suit.
@bell Yes, indeed. We can already see so many companies joining in on the effort to promote blockchain technology.
@bell I agree. The implementation of blockchain in one's business is quite the evolution in any industry.

Bay County holds first code enforcement hearing for property owners
By Gretchen Kernbach |
Posted: Wed 10:19 PM, Jan 15, 2020
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - Bay County Code Enforcement officials say they've been giving property owners chance after chance.
There are still dozens of property owners that will be called to present their case. (WJHG/WECP)
"In October, a year after the storm, no progress had been made on these properties," said Bay County Code Enforcement Manager Kathi Ashman.
They've been giving property owners the chance to communicate with officials about the status of their property. These properties have been found unfit and unsafe, sitting with no purpose.
"The number of structures we have in this condition is more we've had in the five years I've been here," Ashman said.
The condition is no roof, no walls, and in some cases no bathroom. The goal of the Code Enforcement hearings is to get the ball rolling, but whether it's a wrecking ball is up to owner and magistrate.
"We always encourage the property owners to come to these hearings," Ashman said.
Those who show are able to plead their case, but those who don't have 30 days before the county demolishes the structure at the expense of the homeowner.
Wednesday's hearing is the first of many. There are still dozens of property owners that will be called to present their case.
"We'll have two more in February, and two more in March. And the problem is there's only so many we can do at a time," Ashman said.
Code Enforcement officials say if you cannot physically appear at a hearing, you may call in over the phone.

Before starting a home business, be sure to research your market fully. If your product is something that your target market doesn't want or need, you won't get many sales. Rather than spending all your energy trying to force the market to buy your product, spend that energy designing and promoting a product the market wants.
Have another phone line dedicated just for your home business. Your message recording must be professional, and you want to ensure that no one else in your family takes your work calls.
When you are going to establish a home business, you need to think things through carefully before investing in your decision. This careful thought will make sure that you are successful at it and don't get yourself in over your head when beginning the home business venture.
Sign up with an online message board exclusively for people who operate a home business. This allows you to find others who are in similar situations. Having that connection with others that work at home, you can help each other along the way.
Think about how you are going to handle your business and if you can. When you first start out it's easier and less expensive to run it yourself. You should ask yourself if you can handle all the responsibilities on your own before diving into starting your own business.


In addition to the Museum of Modern Art, in and around the Freiburg city centre there are numerous private galleries, public and municipal institutions and foundations which provide an opportunity to visit high quality exhibits throughout the year.
The Kunstverein Freiburg (Freiburg Art Society), founded in 1827, attracts attention well outside the region with its emphasis on the latest trends in contemporary art. It also deals with questions regarding conditions and procurement.
If you happen to be in Freiburg or visiting Freiburg with a car then the theme or parking will be an essential one to research before you set off.
The first thing you should know is that Freiburg is a 'Green city', something the city harps on about at every possible opportunity. Being a green city is also not a bad thing either as the status has earnt Freiburg its prestige over the years amongst the environmentally friendly portion of society.
The Schlossberg (roughly translated: Castle Hill) is a tree covered hill of 456m located in the area of the city of Freiburg im Breisgau. It is directly to the east of Freiburg's Old Town and belongs to the Black Forest.
The main geological fault is at the western edge of the Schlossberg towards the Upper Rhine Graben.
The Schlossbergbahn, or Castle Hill Railway, is a funicular railway in the town of Freiburg im Breisgau in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It links the city centre with the Schlossberg hill.
The funicular was constructed in 2008, in order to replace a previous cable car. It is operated by the Schlossbergbahn GmbH & Co. KG.

South Sudan and U.N. Investigate Reports of Rape by Police
The United Nations and South Sudanese authorities said on Friday they were investigating reports police had abducted and raped women during a disarmament program in the east of the troubled African nation.
South Sudan declared independence from Sudan a year ago under a 2005 peace agreement that ended decades of civil war. But its government has been struggling to assert control over a country still torn by ethnic tensions and awash with arms.
The United Nations said residents of the country's Jonglei region reported police attacked women earlier this month during a push to collect weapons from the area's fighting Lou Nuer and Murle tribes.
The announcement came after a group of aid and rights groups, including U.S.-based PACT, issued a report accusing the army and state police of beatings, harassment, killings, torture and sexual assault of civilians during the disarmament campaign.
The United Nations mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) said it had received unconfirmed reports three women were abducted from Likuangole and another three from Manyabol on June 11.
"We are following up reports from (residents) that policemen are being accused of having conducted rape and abduction," said spokesman Liam McDowall.
"We're following up reports of quite serious outbreaks of disorder and we are supporting the South Sudanese authorities in their enquiries," McDowall said.
The mission said two children drowned in a river when residents fled police shooting in the village of Likuangole on June 8.
Joshua Konyi, the commissioner of Jonglei's Pibor area, said some policemen stationed there during the disarmament program took several women to Likuangole by force, adding that details were still unclear.
"Two ladies, one of 16 years and one of 13 years, were raped that night by the armed forces. We don't know whether they are police or soldiers," he said.
"I don't know the details of who raped those women but according to what we heard, information we got from Likuangole, the ladies themselves said (the men) had military uniforms. I'm not sure if they were police or SPLA (army) uniform."
"They (also) took three women from Manyabol," he said.
South Sudan, one of the least developed countries in the world, is attempting to transform its army and police from a jigsaw of former rebel militias into regular forces.
Overwhelmed with the task of building up a state from scratch, the government has had little success in kick-starting development.
In January, South Sudan lost 98 percent of state revenues when it shut down its oil production in a row over export fees with Sudan.

Environmental and economic concerns overshadow loss of 11 oil rig workers.
Public concern about the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has been focused on the potential environmental and economic damage across the US east coast.
The 11 workers reported missing since the explosion at BP's Deepwater Horizon drilling platform on April 20 have been all but forgotten in the aftermath.
Al Jazeera's Rob Reynolds visits the family of one of the missing 11, Aaron Dale Burkeen, in Mississippi.


Tim Kintzinger, D.M.A., a music professor on the Georgia Southern University Armstrong Campus, will go back to his roots when he performs "Standards" on the trumpet on Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 7:30 p.m. in the Carol A. Carter Recital Hall on the Statesboro Campus and on Tuesday, Oct. 23, at 7:30 p.m. at the Fine Arts Auditorium on the Armstrong Campus.
Kintzinger has been at Georgia Southern for seven years. He was formerly on the Southern Pride Marching Band staff, and now he splits his time between the Statesboro and Armstrong campuses, teaching brass and jazz as well as music appreciation.
Kintzinger said he wants to return to playing the trumpet after his career has taken him to various other instruments.
"Standards" will consist of three pieces that represent three categories of standard trumpet literature. Joseph Haydn's "Concerto in Eb" represents the bulk of the classical trumpet literature, Paul Hindemith's "Sonate for Trumpet and Piano" represents the category of literature that doesn't fit into any of the others, and Kent Kennan's "Sonata for Trumpet and Piano" represents a very American sounding category with open intervals and complex rhythmic material.

Link completes 65 affordable homes in Falkirk
Link chair Roy Stirrat (left) with Cllr Gerry Goldie at the Hazel Road development
Two new affordable housing developments in Falkirk have been officially opened by Falkirk Council's convener for housing, Councillor Gerry Goldie.
The Link developments, at Hazel Road, Banknock and Falkirk Road, Bonnybridge, were both built by Cruden Building and Renewal Limited and consist of properties for social, intermediate and market rent.
The £3.4 million Hazel Road development of 30 homes for social rent attracted £1.9m funding from the Scottish Government and includes two bungalows designed to meet the needs of wheelchair users.
The £4m Falkirk Road development of 35 homes for social, intermediate and market rent secured £1.2m funding from the Scottish Government and is the first development within the Falkirk Council area that includes properties for Market Rent.
As part of the contract at Falkirk Road, Crudens also provided four work-experience placements, employed 10 existing apprentices on the project and created four new jobs as part of its Community Benefit commitment.
These new homes, plus Link's development at Kinnaird Park, Bellsdyke, makes a total of 142 new homes for social, intermediate and market rent which Link has delivered in Falkirk during the past five years.
Link Group chairman, Roy Stirrat, said: "We are delighted to have been supported by the Scottish Government and Falkirk Council to enable us to continue to build these new, high quality homes. We are continuing to work with the council to help play a part in the area's regeneration."
Councillor Goldie said: "This is another first class example of the co-operation between Link Housing Association, Falkirk Council and the Scottish Government reacting to the shortfall of public sector housing across Scotland. Link and Falkirk Council have, for a significant time, brought partnership working to a meaningful and beneficial conclusion to people who are on housing waiting lists."
Allan Callaghan, managing director, Cruden Building & Renewals, added: "We have a long standing partnership with Link, we were pleased to work together to deliver these high quality homes for the local communities. Both developments involved off site manufacturing techniques which meant the build process was quicker and more efficient. These developments have also given 18 people great career opportunities between work placements, apprenticeships and the creation of new jobs. We look forward to working with Link again in the future."

Seeing tough times ahead, Symantec plans layoffs
Symantec plans layoffs that will cut its workforce budget by 4.5 percent.
Robert McMillan (IDG News Service) 03 November, 2008 07:56
Anticipating a slowdown in IT spending, Symantec expects to begin laying off employees this month.
Symantec isn't saying exactly how many jobs it will cut, but on Wednesday Chief Financial Officer James Beer said that the company is looking to trim about 4.5 percent of the cost of its workforce. Separately, Symantec is also outsourcing some of the work done by its IT and finance departments, he said during a conference call with financial analysts.
Symantec has not yet determined how many cuts it will make to its workforce of 17,800 employees, but the layoffs will affect staff in all regions, said Cris Paden, a company spokesman. "We'll be notifying employees next month," he said.
An Australian spokesperson was unable to comment on whether cuts would take place locally and said the plan is global in nature.
On Nov. 1, Hewlett-Packard's EDS division started taking over some of the company's IT operations, and IT and finance employees will be moved off the company payroll over the next 12 months, Paden said. Those reductions have been planned for months, and are separate from the cuts announced Wednesday.
Symantec's stock [SYMC] dropped nearly 18 percent Thursday on the company's sober economic outlook and its reduced earnings expectations.
Starting in the last weeks of September, Symantec saw some "hesitation from some of our customers when it came to finalizing commitments," Beer said in an interview.
"We did see some pulling back," he added. "It was an effect that we saw in different parts of our customer base around the world."

Q: Protecting mp3 file path in flash player I have flash player in my web site for playing the mp3 files.But if someone uses "viewsource" or any browser tools such as firebug, then they can find the  parameter and then sort out the actual mp3 file url.I am using php in my back end. There should be someway to hide these parameters but couldn't figure out how?
Any ideas?

A: Preface: If you show it on the web you can steal it. Period.
That said, you can make it a lot harder by masking the URL of the file by passing it through a php script that does two things:
1) Translates an encrypted GET parameter which can be validated AND can be used only once (store the variable in a database or log). This code will be created when the player is loaded, and once it's started buffering the file cannot be used again. This way the parameter cannot just be a random string (it has to be decryptable) and the user cannot just use the same URL.
The php in the html page the user would receive would look something like:
$key = 'My EnCyption Key';
$unique_string = "Generated at ".time().$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; //the time element changes the string each time and the IP address controls for multiple users simultaneously loading the same page
$tolken = base64_encode(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), $string, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key))));

and then then the flash player would be set to use the mp3 file:
http://yoursite.com/mp3/file_fetcher.php?file_id=123&tolken=<?php echo $tolken;?>

The file file_fetcher.php would have something like this (obviously this requires some fleshing out):
$fixed_string_part = "Generated at ";
$decrypted = rtrim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), base64_decode($_GET['tolken']), MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key))), "\0");
if (substr($decrypted,0,strlen($fixed_string_part))!=$fixed_string_part){
   die("Your tolken is invalid");
}
//check that the tolken hasn't been used before:
$check_query = mysql_query("select * from `mp3_tolken_log` where `tolken`='$decrypted';",[connection identifier]); //write this more cleanly
if (mysql_num_rows($query)){
    die("You've already used that tolken!");
} else {
   $log_it = mysql_query("insert into `mp3_tolken_log` (`tolken`,`dateadded`) VALUES ($decrypted,NOW())"); //make sure it's in there so it can't be used again
}

//now get the file if we haven't already died
$contents = file_get_contents([path/to/mp3/file/specified/by/id/$_GET['file_id']]);
header('Content-Type: audio/mpeg');
echo $contents;

2) Check that the referring site is your own site (rather than them trying to access the script directly). Something like:
if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])){die("Restricted Access!");};
$_u=parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
$_u=preg_replace("/(www.)/i","",strtolower($_u['host']));
$_i=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$_i=preg_replace("/(www.)/i","",strtolower($_i));
($_u == $_i) or die("Restricted Access!");

Of course this information can be faked, but between it and the single-access pass you shouldn't have to worry about direct downloads. That said, remember that there are a million ways to get the file from the stream, and there's just no way to stop that.

GET OFF MY LAWN! GRRR!
Summer is a time of year to be endured while we wait for next ski season. At least that's what I tell my family when the temperature hovers near ninety degrees, causing me to go into my grumpy old man routine.
Last year Major League Baseball made $9 billion for the owners of its thirty teams. Forbes magazine notes Mike Ilitch, owner of the Detroit Tigers, is worth $4.8 billion all by himself. The roster of the Tigers is being paid $174 million this year. Does it sound to you like these owners won't survive if the peons in the minors get minimum wage?
Well, regardless of how grumpy I get, at least I can take comfort in the fact that I don't live in Miami. Besides being hot all the time, 24/7 Wall Street rated it as the worse city in which to live in the United States. The ten worst are: Miami, Detroit, Paterson, N.J., Hawthorne, Calif., Fall River, Mass., Birmingham, Ala., Memphis, Tenn., Flint, Cleveland, and Gary, Ind.
Overall, I guess, things could be worse, so I should stop complaining. After all, ski season is only about 128 days away.

Note to Reader: If you want more information about the video and you'll be taken to the YouTube page for it.
Dear reader if I didn't have Cerebral Palsy and could physically do so I would be jumping around excited for this: I can't believe it's coming. If you've been with me for awhile then you'll already know that I am a BIG Dragon Age nerd. I love the lore of the series so much I even have the first two sets of comics.
I hope that they got rid of how you have to have so much experience to open areas on the map(in Dragon Age 3) and that they still have an "Easy/Story mode" so that I can play(if you don't already know I have hand-eye-corodenation issues which means that it's hard for me do fast quick-time events and aim whilst pushing the triggers and trying to move the cameras around etc with the joysticks.
Or that get a gamer bf before it comes out who can help me with that stuff while I do the story stuff.


Beers without Beards isn't about excluding men but giving women a 'safe space' where they can discover the world of craft beer.
Beer drinking - and indeed the brewing industry - has stereotypically been considered a man's sport.
But women all over, including right here in Edinburgh - the city that gave lager to Scotland - are challenging these clichés - one female beer lover at a time.
Are you a women that wants to "get into" beer but doesn't know where to start? Maybe you don't have anyone to go to the pub with?
There is a group of women here in Edinburgh that will welcome you into their club, where it's all about good beer and even better company.
Amélie Tassin is the founder of Beers without Beards, a women-only club who meet up in the capital's many pubs to try different brews.
While this group of like-minded ladies are brought together by a love of beer, it is also about "empowering women", says Amélie.
In her experience of owning a bottle shop, Amélie says women would come in asking for beer recommendations for their dads, brothers, uncles - but never themselves.
She would tempt women into tasting something new - a chocolate infused beer, or a refreshing IPA maybe - with many pleasantly surprised to discover they really enjoyed beer.
She said that initially they think "beer is not really a women's drink" but when "they find the beer they really like they want more and more".
Adding that Beers without Beards is not about excluding men but providing a "safe space" for women to experiment and branch out when it comes to craft beer and all it has to offer.
Through the group you can discover new pubs, learn about craft beer, meet female brewers with industry knowledge and get to know other female beer enthusiasts.
Their next social event is taking place at Dreadnought in Leith. To go along join the Facebook group here and RSVP.
