Vestas has received a 361 MW order to supply and install 86 V150-4.2 MW wind turbines for the Campo Largo Phase 2 wind park to be located at Sento Sé and Umburanas municipalities, State of Bahia. The order has been placed by ENGIE Brasil, the largest private energy producer in Brazil.
"This first project with Vestas in Brazil is an important milestone for both companies as it contributes to consolidate our worldwide partnership, and it is also ENGIE's largest wind project in the country. This new Vestas wind turbine model fitted the project's wind profile and helped us create a competitive project for Brazil's free energy market", says CEO of ENGIE Brasil Energia. Eduardo Sattamini.
Turbine delivery is expected to start in the second quarter of 2020, whilst commissioning is planned for the first quarter of 2021.
The project's 86 wind turbines will be locally produced under the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) FINAME II rules. The nacelles will be manufactured in the facilities that Vestas holds in State of Ceará, and the blades and towers will also be produced in the country.
The energy produced will mainly be dedicated to the consumers of Brazil's free energy market, underlining the increasing competitiveness of wind energy in Brazil.
"We are very proud to work with ENGIE in Brazil and we hope this contract establishes the foundation for more business between the two companies in the future. As the largest private energy generation company in the country, they will benefit from our 4 MW platform's advanced technology, which has proven to be very competitive in Brazil's recent auction. The order is also a great achievement for us. It consolidates Vestas' leading position in the Brazilian market and illustrates the V150-4.2 MW's strong fit with Brazil's wind conditions", highlights Rogerio S. Zampronha, Vestas managing director for Brazil and Southern LATAM.
The large rotor diameter of the V150-4.2 MW increases the swept area and enables significantly improved energy production, resulting is an improved business case in Brazil's low wind areas.
Since Vestas announced the expansion of its production capacity in Brazil in October 2018, the company has received 613 MW of orders for its leading onshore wind turbine.

Today in Russian Business – Dec 1, 2010
By Citizen M | Published: December 1, 2010
Small businesses in certain sectors will be given a two-year transition period to higher rates of payroll taxes, says President Dmitry Medvedev, amid concerns that many would not otherwise be able to cope with the new rates. As part of preparations for Russia's accession to the WTO, the country could eliminate overflight charges to European airlines which, by EU estimates, currently cost around $200 million a year. Abu Dhabi's state investment company is marking its excitement about the Russian market with a $100 million investment. That's a relatively tiny drop in the ocean of $25 billion in anticipated capital flight from Russia this year, more than double the figure predicted by the Kremlin in October. The central bank says it is too early to raise interest rates whilst economic recovery remains fragile. From Vedomosti: 'It is entirely possible for criminal businesses to evolve — to grow in scope, to acquire new property, and to come to the realization that it is more advantageous to make money legally.'

TLOZ Link5 Project
Rest in Peace J.B. Hehman (TLOZ Link5)
Thread: Rest in Peace J.B. Hehman (TLOZ Link5)
The case has been moved to Homicide at the NYPD.
Chase Led Man Into Car's Path
A 20-year-old college student who was struck and killed by a car last week in Harlem was chased into a busy road while fleeing a group of young men during what may have been a bias attack, the authorities said yesterday.
The death of the student, Broderick Hehman of Manhattan, a junior at New York University, was ruled a homicide by the city medical examiner, who found that while the direct cause was head trauma, Mr. Hehman had been fleeing assailants when he was struck, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner said yesterday.
On April 1, Mr. Hehman darted into the intersection at 125th Street and Park Avenue, where he was hit by a silver Mercedes-Benz, the police said. A witness, a homeless man named David Jones who sells used goods at the intersection, said that just before the collision, he saw a group of men trying to attack the student. Mr. Hehman died on Tuesday.
Investigators have two theories concerning the killing, a law enforcement official said yesterday: that about eight young men, some of them teenagers, were trying to rob Mr. Hehman; or that the group, at least one among them using a racial epithet, singled him out because he was white.
Police questioned a few men yesterday, the official said, adding that no arrests had been made.
I found this post from JB in reply to THIS , a posting about Crime Stats:
At a news conference at his union's Manhattan office, Patrick Lynch, president of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, cited a Newsday report in which police officers alleged that the Bronx 50th precinct commander intentionally downgraded crimes for three years. Lynch maintained that was not an isolated instance.
Comments from Readers
From: J.B. Hehman
Having read your March 31 issue's reprint of a Newsday article about the supposed fraudulent crime reports in ONE precinct in New York City, I can't help but wonder how much the editors at American Renaissance are gloating.? All right, so perhaps a dirty dozen precinct commanders might end up with altered crime statistics.? So what?? Did that warrant an enclosed link to the twelve-year-old article "The Late Great City of New York" beneath the caption "Perhaps things in NYC haven't gotten so much better since this article was written"?? Fugheddaboudit!
Corruption is, unfortunately, inherent in every American city; I am sure that there are many other cities whose police departments also neglected to report certain crimes.? Having lived in New York City for all of my eighteen years and having NEVER been a victim of crime no matter what neighborhoods I've gone to (including Harlem), I cannot grasp the logic behind American Renaissance's drawing a line from some cooked books to an overall lie kept under wraps by the police department for the past eleven years.? (1993 was the year that the NYPD's CompStat system was first implemented.)
There are some crimes that are quite hard to keep under wraps, like murder; and it is quite hard to keep murders, which have declined dramatically in New York, from being reported.? To deny this fact you will also have to deny declines in crime in cities like Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland and other American cities to prevent from leaving yourself open to accusations of bias.
Is crime still a major problem in New York City?? Without a doubt.? But it is in no way as bad as it was in the '70s, '80s, or early '90s.? You can see it, feel it, if you've been and/or lived here through the good times and the bad alike, like my family, my grandparents, and my friends.? Look at Harlem, Brooklyn, the subways, Times Square, Union Square, the Lower East Side--even the South Bronx.? The evidence, police corruption or not, is incontrovertible.

It should be a cause célèbre. This was a hate crime... there were racial taunts.

New clues in NYU student's tragic death
20-year-old John Hehman died afer he was chased into traffic in Harlem Saturday
(New York-WABC, April 7, 2006) - There are new clues tonight as to who may have chased an NYU student to his death. Now, police are stepping up their search for his killers.
20-year-old John Hehman died afer he was chased into traffic on 125th Street in Harlem Saturday night. Investigators now believe the group of teens responsible for his death - may also be terrorizing several businesses in the area.
Eyewitness News reporter N.J. Burkett is in Harlem with the story.
Apparently for the past several weeks, a pack of young men are going in and out of a number of local businesses terrorizing shopkeepers and their customers. Tonight, detectives say these may be the same people who chased the victim to his death.
Detectives hit the streets this afternoon armed with new leads as posters went up on street corners across Harlem.
One woman said she knows some of the young men questioned by police.
"That vehicle hit that white man and killed that white man. They're around here grabbing all our kids ... these kids had nothing to do with it," she said.
John Broderick Hehman was 20-years-old and a junior at NYU. Witnesses say he ran headlong into traffic and was struck by a silver Mercedes in the middle of 125th Street on Saturday night. The driver did not flee the scene and has not been charged.
Earlier this week, one witness told us Hehman was chased into the street.
"I saw the guy run out into the street ... a bunch of people were chasing him," the witness said.
Now, police are investigating reports that Hehman's pursuers shouted racist threats -- and may be the same young men who harassed and in some cases terrorized merchants and their customers along 125th Street.
The manager of Popeye's Fried Chicken told us that it happened at her restaurant several times.
"Mostly kids, about 20-22," she said.
Tonight, Harlem residents overwhelmingly want this case solved.
Police say their eyewitness accounts so far may not be reliable. The motive in this case is still not entirely clear, and for that reason this has not been classified a bias crime. Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD.

I liked this guy (just seemed like a good/special person) his profile had as his hobby ---- BE'in all clever! OR someting like that..... he was a cool kid.
I hope I can do something.....and send me A PM if you know how I can help.

THE POLITICS OF BLAMELESSNESS:
The vehicle. The vehicle did it. Probably driven by a white man.
Kids? Age 22. Well, I guess it's possible if you never grew up... Maybe this is just evidence of immaturity.
If you do this at age 33, are you still a kid?

I'm pretty sure that quote, as repugnant as it is, refers to the number of kids involved, not their ages.
I agree that it's inexcusable to blame JB's death solely upon the actions of an inanimate object, but given his past statements, I don't think he'd appreciate some of the racial generalizations some people are throwing out there.

The lead story on today's 6:00 pm news show on WNBC (Ch. 4) was the investigation into TLOZ's death and the assertion at a news conference held today by Norman Siegel and others that the NYPD is being insufficiently aggressive in pursuing it as a hate crime. I wouldn't be surprised if the story is reaired during today's 11:00 pm newscast.
For a lost friend
I called the hotline....gave them what I have on the area......thanks MK for the posting the phone number.
I just saw Eric Adams from 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement calling JB's murder a hate crime on the Fox5 10PM broadcast.
Here's the WABC story:
Was the murder also a hate crime? Suspects may have yelled 'whiteboy'
By Stacey Sager
(Harlem-WABC, April 8, 2006) - The search continues for those who allegedly chased a 20-year-old NYU student John Hehman into the street where he was hit by a car and killed one week ago. Though police say there are many witnesses, so far, there is no one in custody. Some are now wondering if the motive behind it all was race.
Should this murder also be considered a hate crime? That's what some community activists were suggesting today. They were pretty critical of how the NYPD is handling this case.
Talk to people along 125th Street in Harlem and you'll find out most of them are well aware of what happened here last Saturday night. Witnesses reported to police that 20-year-old college student John Hehman was chased into oncoming traffic where he was struck and killed. What's a little more perplexing to investigators is exactly why he was chased after.
Norman Siegel, Civil Rights Attorney: If the reports are accurate, that one of the people in the group said, 'Get the white boy,' that's a hate crime.
Civil rights attorney Norman Siegel and the group known as 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement stood in Harlem on Saturday demanding some more clarity from the NYPD. Police are still investigating the motive for the killing whether it was robbery or whether one or more of Hehman's attackers referred to his race as they chased him down.
Eric Adams, 100 Black in Law Enforcement: Not only is this incident some form of denial. I believe that the historical denial in the police department not wanting to classify hate crimes when they are hate crimes.
In response, a spokesman for the police commissioner called that assertion "flatly untrue" He said, "The matter was immediately referred to our hate crimes investigators and is being treated as a possible bias crime."
Meanwhile, posters remain up around the neighborhood as detectives continue to ask the public for help. Investigators are still trying to determine if the suspects were part of a group of teens that had trashed a nearby McDonald's and threatened others around the neighborhood.
Andrea Wade, 125th Street Shopper: I think it's a disgrace because it just shouldn't happen nowadays. It's 2006 and things like that shouldn't happen.
Police in Harlem have made no arrests in this case. Community leaders tell Eyewitness News the reward money has now been increased. It's now $13,000 to anyone who can provide police with information leading to an arrest and conviction in this murder.
(Copyright 2006 WABC-TV)
$13,000? OK guys, if twenty of us chip in $100 we can bump that to $15,000.
BrooklynRider, would you be up for organizing the effort? Or Edward?
I just called the Crime Stoppers number on the poster (1.800.577-TIPS) and asked about how to donate to JB's Reward Fund. I was told that the $12K Reward comes from within the NYPD and that private individuals can't donate to that Fund.
In order to set up a Private Fund for reward we'd have to get in touch with one of the detectives on the case (contact can be made through the 1.800.577-TIPS line). Then the detective would give info on how to set up the fund.
The operator told me that it is a somewhat complicated process to set up a Private Fund.
But it might be worth a try ...
Ch. 4 did reair the piece during its 11 pm newscast, and Chs. 2 and 7 had their own slightly different versions at the same hour. Implicit in all of them, but expressly mentioned on Ch. 7, was the truism that a hate crime is just that, even when the races of the perps and the victim are reversed from what we're accustomed to expect.

I will check into the details and see what it takes. We've all seen rewards bumped up. If we do establish the fund, I hope we can pull together to get the word out to the press and keep this out front on the news. I need to PM Edward and see if it is okay to set it up as a WiredNewYork reward fund - for lack of a more appropriate name. It might also bring people to the site who have any bits of info. Here they can post anonymously. We might want to seek out other message boards and post links to this thread to drive a little traffic from area residents.

United States U-17 national team head coach Raphael Wicky has named a strong roster for the upcoming CONCACAF Championships which will also serve as U-17 World Cup qualifying. At the heart of it is Ricardo Pepi, Gianluca Busio, and Gio Reyna who will attempt to lead the U.S. team to Brazil for the World Cup.
United States U-17 national team head coach Raphael Wicky named his 20 player roster for the upcoming CONCACAF Championships at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida which will also serve as the region's qualifying tournament for the 2019 U-17 World Cup.
Wicky was only recently hired in March and has had just one camp in charge of the team ahead of this tournament. But overall, the roster should be strong enough to have the U.S. team favored to qualify as one of the four berths from CONCACAF.
(Club; Hometown; U-17 Caps/Goals)
GOALKEEPERS (2):1-Damian Las (Chicago Fire; Norridge, Ill.; 13/0), 12-Chituru Odunze (Vancouver Whitecaps FC/CAN; Calgary, Alta.; 4/0)
DEFENDERS (7):4-Axel Alejandre (FC United; Chicago, Ill.; 14/0), 3-Adam Armour (North Carolina FC; Cary, N.C.; 11/0), 13-Mauricio Cuevas (LA Galaxy; Los Angeles, Calif.; 2/0), 14-Tayvon Gray (New York City FC; Bronx, N.Y.; 10/0), 5-Kobe Hernandez (LA Galaxy; Los Angeles, Calif.; 14/1), 2-JosephScally (New York City FC; Lake Grove, N.Y.; 14/1), 15-John Tolkin (New York Red Bulls; Chatham, N.J.; 3/0)
MIDFIELDERS (5):7-Gianluca Busio (Sporting Kansas City; Greensboro, N.C.; 7/2), 20-Gilbert Fuentes (San Jose Earthquakes; Tracy, Calif.; 13/0), 8-Bryang Kayo (D.C. United; Poolesville, Md.; 0/0), 6-Daniel Leyva (Seattle Sounders FC; Las Vegas, Nev.; 0/0), 16-Adam Saldana (LA Galaxy; Panorama City, Calif.; 17/1)
FORWARDS (6):18-Jack de Vries (Philadelphia Union; Wayne, Pa.; 0/0), 17-Tyler Freeman (Sporting Kansas City; Shawnee, Kan.; 3/1), 19-Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez (Tacoma Defiance; Kent, Wash.; 14/5), 9-Ricardo Pepi (North Texas SC; McKinney, Texas; 6/1), 10-Giovanni Reyna (Unattached; Bedford, N.Y.; 8/1), 11-Griffin Yow (D.C. United; Clifton, Va.; 6/3)
Under the current format, there are four groups of four with the top three teams from each group advancing to the Round of 16.
In a previous tournament, Puerto Rico, Guadeloupe, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic already advanced the Round of 16.
Starting in the Round of 16, the teams that advance to the semifinals will qualify for the U-17 World Cup.
U.S. team's schedule
The US team was drawn into Group F and will open the tournament against Canada on Thursday, May 2 at 6 p.m. ET. The U.S. then faces Barbados on Saturday, May 4 at 4 p.m. ET before finishing group play against Guatemala on Monday, May 6 at 6 p.m. ET.
Should the U.S. team win its group, it will face Guadeloupe on May 9 in the Round of 16.
Roster thoughts
There are some notable absences on the U.S. team. For one, Wicky's team will be without one of its most highly touted players in left back George Bello who has been dealing with an injury for the past month. Also, the team is without central defender Mason Judge although it is not clear if he was released by Eintracht Frankfurt or not selected by Wicky. The same can be said of West Ham's Peter Stroud.
But there is some high-profile attacking talent on this squad which is led by Gio Renya who is listed as unattached but will be heading to Borussia Dortmund. The son of former Untied States national team captain Claudio Reyna, Gio Reyna has been one of the leaders of this team for nearly the entire cycle.
Also, forward Ricardo Pepi also enters this tournament with a lot of momentum as the FC Dallas product has been the team's best goal scorer this cycle and has carried that form into USL where he plays for the Dallas affiliate North Texas SC. With North Texas, Pepi has scored four goals in two games.
Gianluca Busio is probably the most in-form player at the tournament where he has been seeing significant time with Sporting Kansas City's first team. While he did not score over the weekend in a loss to San Jose, Busio entered that game having scored in three games in a row.

One of the most talked about stories in American youth soccer this year was how the Seattle Sounders academy won the GA Cup over the weekend with wins over Flamengo, River Plate, West Ham United, and Valencia in the final. All those games were shutouts.
From that GA Cup-winning team two players on this U-17 roster: forward Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez who won the GA Cup Golden Boot with six goals and an assist and Daniel Leyva who won the GA Cup MVP and has already signed a first team contract with Seattle.

But the U-17 also boasts one of the best U.S. youth national team goalkeepers since Zack Steffen in Chicago's Damian Las who will be an important back-stop at this level and could be the difference in the critical knockout stages.


The votes are in, and the top prize for the 2013 "Dance Your Ph.D." contest goes to … Cedric Tan, a biologist at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, who finished his Ph.D. there last year with a thesis titled "Sperm competition between brothers and female choice." His dance interpretation of that research illustrates the chicken mating process using a range of styles, from swing and water ballet—yes, in actual water—to modern jazz and what can only be described as cockfighting.
The contest, now in its 6th year, is sponsored by Science magazine and AAAS (publisher of ScienceNOW). Based on votes from previous winners and an independent panel of artists and scientists, Tan won both the Biology category and the overall prize: $1000 and a trip—sponsored by HighWire Press—to screen his video at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.
Other finalists also showed their dance chops. Ambalika Khadria, a biochemistry Ph.D. student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, demonstrated her experimental methods—a trick for revealing whether proteins are linked together in pairs—literally with colored masks and fluorescent light, scooping the Chemistry category prize.
Timothy Hunter, who left academia for industry and now works at Wolf Star Technologies in Milwaukee, took home the top prize in the Physics category; he demonstrated his Ph.D. on metal fatigue by using the forces between human bodies as an analog. He even used the dancers to depict data graphs.
And the Social Sciences prize went to Tina Sundelin, a Ph.D. student at Stockholm University. In a certain sense, all graduate students study the effects of sleep deprivation (on themselves), but for Sundelin it's the actual focus of her research, and she depicted it with a controlled dance experiment: Two versions of her danced their way through a day, one fully rested and one sleep deprived.
The results of the online survey are also in. The winner of the Reader Favorite award is Andres Florez's salsa-dance interpretation of his cancer cell biology Ph.D. It may be the most artistic use of a squash court yet.
Congratulations to all of the 31 submissions that made this the best year yet. Who knew there were so many talented dancing scientists out there?

Gentges v. Oklahoma State Election Board
Justia Opinion Summary
Registered Voter Delilah Gentges sued the Oklahoma State Election Board in the district court of Tulsa County to prevent implementation of SB 692, commonly known as the Voter ID Act. Gentges alleged she had standing as a taxpayer and as a registered voter in Tulsa County. The State Election Board specially appeared in the district court of Tulsa County and asked the court to dismiss this suit. The State Election Board contended Gentges lacked standing and Tulsa County was not the proper venue for a suit against a State agency. The district court of Tulsa County rejected these challenges and the State Election Board asked the Supreme Court to assume original jurisdiction to prohibit the district court of Tulsa County from proceeding further. The Supreme Court granted partial relief by ordering the district court of Tulsa County to transfer the case to the district court of Oklahoma County. Gentges contended the Legislature violated the Oklahoma Constitution by submitting the Voter ID Act to a popular vote without first presenting it to the Governor for veto consideration. She also contended that requiring voters to present certain forms of identification in order to vote would "interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage." After review of the parties' summary judgment paperwork, the trial court ruled: (1) the Oklahoma Constitution does not require presentment of a legislative referendum to the Governor before the referendum is placed on the ballot for a vote; and (2) Gentges lacked standing. Gentges appealed. The Supreme Court concluded after its review that the trial court was correct in ruling the Voter ID Act was validly enacted, but reversed the trial court on the issue of Gentges' standing. The case was remanded for further proceedings.

REIF, V.C.J.:
¶1 Delilah Christine Gentges sued the Oklahoma State Election Board in the district court of Tulsa County to prevent implementation of SB 692, commonly known as the Voter ID Act.1 Ms. Gentges alleged she had standing as a taxpayer and as a registered voter in Tulsa County. The State Election Board specially appeared in the district court of Tulsa County and asked the court to dismiss this suit. The State Election Board contended Ms. Gentges lacked standing and Tulsa County was not the proper venue for a suit against a State agency. The district court of Tulsa County rejected these challenges and the State Election Board asked this Court to assume original jurisdiction to prohibit the district court of Tulsa County from proceeding further. This Court granted partial relief by ordering the district court of Tulsa County to transfer the case to the district court of Oklahoma County.
¶2 Following the transfer of the case to Oklahoma County, Ms. Gentges filed a motion for summary judgment. She asked the court to declare the Voter ID Act unconstitutional on the grounds that (1) the Legislature violated Article 6, Section 112 of the Oklahoma Constitution by not presenting the referendum designated SB 692 to the Governor for veto consideration prior to submitting it for a popular vote, and (2) the identification requirements "interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage" that is prohibited by Article 2, Section 43 and Article 3, Section 54 of the Oklahoma Constitution. After review of the parties' summary judgment paperwork, the trial court ruled (1) the Oklahoma Constitution did not require presentment of a legislative referendum to the Governor before the referendum is placed on the election ballot for a vote and (2) Ms. Gentges "lacks standing." Upon review, we hold that Ms. Gentges does have standing to challenge the constitutionality of the Voter ID Act but find the Act was properly submitted for a popular vote. We remand for the trial court to determine whether the identification requirements "interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage" and to decide Ms. Gentges' constitutional challenge to the venue requirement in 12 O.S.2011, § 133.
¶3 The parties agree that there are no material issues of fact in dispute on the issues of standing and the referendum. They further agree that only questions of law are presented for resolution. The issue of Ms. Gentges' standing is the first question of law to be determined.
¶4 The trial court's summary judgment order specifically decided one of the issues raised by Ms. Gentges' motion for summary judgment - whether the Oklahoma Constitution requires the Legislature to present a referendum, like SB 692, to the Governor for veto consideration prior to submitting the measure for a popular vote. The trial court ruled that "the Constitution does not require presentment of a legislative referendum to the Governor before the referendum is placed on the election ballot for a vote." In granting this declaratory relief the trial court must have necessarily concluded that Ms. Gentges had standing to litigate the issue of whether the Voter ID Act was validly enacted. In other words, she was not totally without standing.
¶5 The part of the trial court's summary judgment order that ruled Ms. Gentges "lacks standing" can only be read to apply to her complaint that the Voter ID Act would "interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage." In challenging Ms. Gentges' standing to litigate this issue, the State Election Board argued that Ms. Gentges cannot rely on her status as a taxpayer to challenge the Voter ID Act, because the Voter ID Act involves no expenditure of public funds. In the absence of such a circumstance to support standing, the State Election Board has maintained that Ms. Gentges must show that she suffers injury from having to present a photo ID to vote. The State Election Board's summary judgment evidentiary material established that Ms. Gentges possesses a valid photo Oklahoma drivers license. The State Election Board insists that this undisputed fact demonstrates Ms. Gentges can easily comply with the Act without any additional burden upon, or injury to, either her right to vote or her act of voting.
¶6 The State Election Board is correct that Ms. Gentges' status as a taxpayer is not sufficient to support standing to challenge the Voter ID Act. However, her possession of a valid photo Oklahoma drivers license is no more relevant to her standing to challenge the constitutionality of the Voter ID Act than her financial means to pay a poll tax would be relevant to challenge a burden of that nature.
¶7 In cases where "[n]o government expenditure is challenged," this Court has recognized judicial discretion "[to] grant standing to private parties to vindicate the public interest in cases presenting issues of great public importance." State ex rel. Howard v. Oklahoma Corporation Commission, 1980 OK 96, ¶ 29, ¶ 31, 614 P.2d 45, 51 (citation omitted). This discretion is properly exercised to grant standing where there are "competing policy considerations" and "lively conflict between antagonistic demands." Id. at ¶¶ 37-38, 614 P.2d at 52 (citations omitted).
¶8 In addition, this Court has said "a suit may be brought [by a private party] challenging the legality of government action . . . if the plaintiff is the object of the action at issue." Oklahoma Public Employees Association v. Oklahoma Department of Central Services, 2002 OK 71, ¶ 16, 55 P.3d 1072, 1079. In such cases, "there is ordinarily little question that the action . . . has caused . . . injury, and that a judgment preventing or requiring the action will redress it." Id.
¶9 In the case at hand, the requirement that voters present certain types of identification at the time of voting is a new condition upon the exercise of the right of suffrage. The question of whether this new condition would "interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage" is a matter of "great public importance" given the fact that "free exercise of the right of suffrage" is guaranteed by two provisions in the Oklahoma Constitution. The first provision - Article 2, § 4 - appears in the Bill of Rights and is a guarantee extended to "those entitled to such right." This Court has said the right to vote conferred upon a qualified elector by this constitutional provision is "a basic constitutional right." Sparks v. State Election Board, 1964 OK 114, ¶ 9, 392 P.2d 711, 713. The second provision - Article 3, § 5 - expresses a limitation on governmental power. The importance of this limitation is underscored by the observation in Sparks that: "To deprive a qualified elector of his [or her] right to vote, by law, would be contrary to the spirit of both Federal . . . and State Constitutions." Id., 392 P.2d at 713-714.
¶10 There can be no doubt that Ms. Gentges, as a registered voter, is within the class of "those entitled" to exercise the right of suffrage and has a basic constitutional right protected by Article 2, § 4. Members of this class (i.e., registered voters) are likewise the most logical parties to contest any conditions on the right to vote imposed by action of the Legislature, because registered voters are "the object of the action at issue."
¶11 Review of the summary judgment record also reveals this case involves "competing policy considerations" (i.e., preservation of the integrity of the election process by verifying the identity of those voting vs. the free exercise of the right of suffrage). Furthermore, the arguments advanced by Ms. Gentges and the State Election Board demonstrate "lively conflict between antagonistic demands."
¶12 The foregoing considerations lead this Court to conclude that Ms. Gentges has standing to vindicate both her personal interest and the public interest by challenging legislative action that may arguably "interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage." Accordingly, we reverse the trial court ruling that Ms. Gentges "lacks standing" to challenge the Voter ID Act on the ground it would "interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage."
¶13 We do not agree, however, with Ms. Gentges' contention that the provisions of SB 692 were not properly enacted as a referendum. Ms. Gentges insists that the fatal defect in the enactment of SB 692 lies in the Legislature's failure to present the measure to the Governor for veto consideration prior to its submission to a vote of the people. While she acknowledges that the Governor has no power to veto a referendum after it is approved by a vote of the people, she maintains that a bill proposing a referendum must be presented to the Governor for veto consideration prior to its submission for a popular vote.
¶14 Ms. Gentges relies on language in Article 5, § 2 of the Oklahoma Constitution that authorizes the Legislature to order a referendum "as other bills are enacted." Ms. Gentges further notes that Article 6, § 11 of the Oklahoma Constitution requires the Legislature's presentment and the Governor's veto consideration of "Every bill which shall have passed the Senate and House of Representatives." She points out that this Court has recently interpreted the "every bill" language in Article 6, § 12 (a related veto provision) to mean "any" and "all" bills. Coffey v. Henry, 2010 OK 4, ¶ 3, 240 P.3d 1056, 1057.
¶15 Despite the logical appeal of this analysis, its chief problem lies in giving literal meaning to the single word "every" and ignoring important qualifying language in Article 6, § 11. The complete text of the presentment clause in Article 6, § 11 reads: "Every bill which shall have passed the Senate and House of Representatives, and every resolution requiring the assent of both branches of the Legislature, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the Governor." The important qualifying language in question is "before it becomes a law." The complete text clearly indicates that presentment and veto consideration is required for "every bill" that "becomes law" through the Legislature's exercise of its granted sovereign power. This is not the only sovereign power by which law is made, however.
¶16 The first two sections of Article 55 of the Oklahoma Constitution reserve sovereign power to the people to make law by a process that is different from, and in addition to, the exercise of sovereign power granted to the Legislature. That process is by initiative and referendum. Sections 3 through 8 of Article 5 specify how this process is to be fulfilled. Section 3 of Article 56 prescribes a very different role for the Governor to play in this law making process than the role played by the Governor in the Legislature's law making process. In particular, section 3 commands that the Governor "shall submit [petitions and orders for initiatives and referendums] to the people" and expressly provides that "The veto power of the Governor shall not extend to measures voted on by the people."
¶17 As previously noted, Ms. Gentges acknowledges this limitation on the Governor's veto power, but contends it should be interpreted to apply only after a measure has been approved by the people. To support this interpretation, Ms. Gentges basically argues that the enactment of law without the check and balance of a veto violates the guarantee of a republican form of government set forth in Article IV, § 47 of the United States Constitution. Ms. Gentges believes that presentment and veto consideration prior to submitting a referendum to a vote of the people is the only way for the people to enact law consistent with a republican form of government.
¶18 Again, despite the logical appeal of this argument, settled law dictates that the check and balance of the veto is very much a part of a referendum ordered by the Legislature. In the case of In re Initiative Petition No. 348, State Question No. 640, 1991 OK 110, ¶ 29, 820 P.2d 772, 780, this Court cited approvingly Kadderly v. City of Portland, 44 Or. 118, 145-46, 74 P. 710, 720, for the principle that the power of the people "[to] veto or defeat bills passed and approved by the Legislature" is part of the republican form of government. This is particularly true of a referendum by Legislative order in which the Legislature merely recommends the people enact a particular measure. In such cases, the check and balance of the veto is preserved; it is simply exercised by the electorate, not the Governor.
¶19 The state of the record does not permit this Court to decide whether the identification requirements of SB 692 "interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage." We note that Ms. Gentges' motion for summary judgment reserves this issue as a "factual question." Also, in their response to Ms. Gentges' motion for this Court to retain this appeal, the State Election Board and the Intervenors have argued that this reservation by Ms. Gentges prevents the "the substantive constitutionality of the Voter ID Act . . . from being reviewed for the first time in this accelerated appeal."
¶20 In remanding this issue to the trial court, however, we believe it provident to provide guidance to the trial court in resolving this controversy. We do so to ensure a complete record is made and because the decision resolving an alleged constitutional violation is reviewed de novo. See Fields v. Saunders, 2012 OK 17, ¶ 1, 278 P.3d 577, 579.
¶21 "When considering the constitutionality of an act of the legislature, all pertinent constitutional provisions must be considered together." Fent v. State ex rel. Office of State Finance, 2008 OK 2, ¶ 21, n.11, 184 P.3d 467, 476 (citing Tate v. Logan, 1961 OK 136, ¶ 5, 362 P.2d 670, 672). The free exercise protections of Article 2, § 4 and Article 3, § 5 must be considered with the Legislature's constitutional power to provide laws for conducting elections and to detect fraud in such elections set forth in Article 3, § 4 of the Oklahoma Constitution. This provision expressly provides that: "The Legislature shall prescribe the time and manner of holding and conducting all elections, and enact such laws as may be necessary to detect and punish fraud in such elections." (emphasis added). While the people have made it clear by constitutional command that they do not want the civil or military power of the State to interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage, the people have made it equally clear by a coordinate constitutional command that they want the right of suffrage protected from fraud. Any assessment of the impact of statutory law on the exercise of the right of suffrage must accommodate both of these policies.
¶22 Also, laws governing the right to vote must "be reasonable and not destructive to some constitutional right." Swindall v. State Election Board, 1934 OK 259, ¶ 0, 32 P.2d 691 (syllabus 1). One test is whether the voting law "was designed to protect the purity of the ballot and not as a tool or instrument to impair constitutional rights." Sparks, 1964 OK 114, ¶ 13, 392 P.2d at 714.
¶23 This guidance in no way limits the issues nor precludes the trial court from considering other law or matters that may bear on the constitutionality of the Voter ID Act. It simply represents the baseline scrutiny the trial court must give to resolve this constitutional controversy.
¶24 Based on the foregoing consideration, we affirm the trial court's ruling that the Voter ID Act was validly enacted, but reverse the trial court's ruling that Ms. Gentges lacks standing to challenge the Voter ID Act on the ground that it violates the free exercise of suffrage provisions in the Oklahoma Constitution. We remand this case to the trial court to decide Ms. Gentges' constitutional challenges to the Voter ID Act and to the venue provision in 12 O.S.2011, § 133.
¶25 COLBERT, C.J., REIF, V.C.J., WATT, WINCHESTER, EDMONDSON, TAYLOR, and GURICH, JJ., concur.
¶26 KAUGER and COMBS (by separate writing), JJ., concur in result.
1 SB 692 was submitted to a vote of the people as State Question 746, Legislative Referendum 347. This measure was approved by a vote of the people November 2, 2010. Laws 2009, c.31, §§ 1-9. It is codified as 26 O.S.2011, § 7-114.
2 Article 6, § 11 states: Approval or veto of bills - Passage over veto - Failure to return bill.
Every bill which shall have passed the Senate and House of Representatives, and every resolution requiring the assent of both branches of the Legislature, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the Governor; if he approve, he shall sign it; if not, he shall return it with his objections to the house in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large in the Journal and proceed to reconsider it. If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of the members elected to that house shall agree to pass the bill or joint resolution, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other house, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered; and, if approved by two-thirds of the members elected to that house, it shall become a law, notwithstanding the objections of the Governor. In all such cases, the vote in both houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the members voting shall be entered on the Journal of each house respectively. If any bill or resolution shall not be returned by the Governor within five days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Legislature shall, by their adjournment, prevent its return, in which case it shall not become a law without the approval of the Governor. No bill shall become a law after the final adjournment of the Legislature, unless approved by the Governor within fifteen days after such adjournment.
3 Article 2, § 4 states: Interference with right of suffrage.
No power, civil or military, shall ever interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage by those entitled to such right.
4 Article 3, § 5 states: Free and equal elections - Interference by civil or military power - Privilege from arrest.
All elections shall be free and equal. No power, civil or military, shall ever interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage, and electors shall, in all cases, except for treason, felony, and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance on elections and while going to and from the same.
5 The first two sections in Article 5, are as follows:
§ 1. Legislature - Authority and composition - Powers reserved to people.
The Legislative authority of the State shall be vested in a Legislature, consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives; but the people reserve to themselves the power to propose laws and amendments to the Constitution and to enact or reject the same at the polls independent of the Legislature, and also reserve power at their own option to approve or reject at the polls any act of the Legislature.
§ 2. Designation and definition of reserved powers - Determination of percentages.
The first power reserved by the people is the initiative, and eight per centum of the legal voters shall have the right to propose any legislative measure, and fifteen per centum of the legal voters shall have the right to propose amendments to the Constitution by petition, and every such petition shall include the full text of the measure so proposed. The second power is the referendum, and it may be ordered (except as to laws necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety), either by petition signed by five per centum of the legal voters or by the Legislature as other bills are enacted. The ratio and per centum of legal voters hereinbefore stated shall be based upon the total number of votes cast at the last general election for the Office of Governor.
6 Article 5, § 3 states: Petitions - Veto power - Elections - Time of taking effect - Style of bills - Duty of legislature
Referendum petitions shall be filed with the Secretary of State not more than ninety (90) days after the final adjournment of the session of the Legislature which passed the bill on which the referendum is demanded. The veto power of the Governor shall not extend to measures voted on by the people.

Any measure referred to the people by the initiative or referendum shall take effect and be in force when it shall have been approved by a majority of the votes cast thereon and not otherwise.
The style of all bills shall be: "Be it Enacted By the People of the State of Oklahoma."

COMBS, J., with whom KAUGER, J., joins, concurring in result:
¶1 I concur in the majority opinion that the plaintiff in this case has standing to challenge the constitutionality of the Oklahoma Voter ID Act. I further concur in the majority opinion in that the Oklahoma Constitution does not require the Legislature to present a referendum, like SB 692, to the Governor for veto consideration prior to submitting the measure for a popular vote.
¶2 I additionally concur that the issue of the constitutionality of the Voter ID Act is not properly before this court for review at this time. The trial court's ruling reflects the only issues addressed were the plaintiff's lack of standing and that the Voter ID statute did not have to be presented to the Governor before it was submitted to a vote of the people. There is nothing in this record to reflect the trial court ruled on the issue of the facial constitutionality of the Voter ID Act. In truth and fact the record is very clear the trial court determined only two issues: 1) the plaintiff's standing or lack thereof; and 2) a finding that there is no constitutional requirement that a referendum be submitted to the Governor for consideration prior to a popular vote.
¶3 The majority, having determined the plaintiff has standing, remands this case to the trial court to address all remaining issues, including any issue concerning the merits of the Voter ID Act. I disagree, however, with the majority's attempt to frame the issues for the trial court on remand. The litigants should be allowed to try their case before the lower court without any indication what the appellate court would like to be considered. Our case law is clear: in a public law controversy this court is free to change the theory presented by the parties below and followed by the trial court.1 However this review must be based upon the record brought for review.
¶4 As this court stated in Russell v. Board of County Commissioners, 1997 OK 80, ¶ 10, 952 P.2d 492, 497:
[w]hen resolving a public-law controversy, the reviewing court is generally free to grant corrective relief upon any applicable legal theory dispositive of the case. Appellate freedom to raise and settle public-law issues sua sponte is circumscribed not by arguments tendered by the parties but rather by the record brought for review. (Emphasis applied.)
¶5 Although I agree with the majority that the constitutionality of the Voter ID Act is of great public interest and any ruling of the trial court concerning the Act's constitutionality will be reviewed by this court using a de novo standard without deference to the decision of the trial court, that review must be based on the record. Here we have no decision by the trial court on this issue. The trial court order is silent as to the constitutionality of the Voter ID Act. The Attorney General's position assailing the deviation of our summary judgment procedure is well taken. There are only two issues before us at this time.
¶6 Addressing the facial constitutionality of the Voter ID Act without a record, evidentiary materials, or a final order is a precedent we should not set. The litigants should be allowed to fully litigate their respective positions without prior indication from this court as to what issues we feel are important to the discussion. To do otherwise, is to issue an advisory opinion and attempt to limit or at the least emphasize certain constitutional issues in the trial court. I would let the parties argue their respective positions and develop their own record without any specific direction as to issues by this court.

JS Haruna (DDH-141) was the lead ship of the Haruna-class helicopter destroyer of the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force.

Overview

These ships were Japan's first helicopter-equipped destroyer (DDH), and their greatest feature was that it can carry and operate three helicopters in spite of its 5000t class. Such ships, including the development-improved Shirane-class destroyer, can be said to be the only one in the world to this day, and strongly reflect Japan's special military ideology. In terms of equipment, it was the first self-defense ship to be equipped with a fin stabilizer to stabilize its attitude during helicopter operation, and a landing restraint device (bear trap) was installed to improve the safety and efficiency of flight work on a swaying ship.

Until the introduction of the Kongō-class destroyer (Aegis ship), this class (including the Shirane-class destroyer) were the largest escort ship of the JMSDF.

Construction and career
Haruna was laid down on 19 March 1970 and launched on 1 February 1972 by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Nagasaki Shipyard. She was commissioned on 22 March 1973, into the 1st Escort Corps and deployed in Yokosuka.

It was dispatched in response to the 10th Yuyomaru incident that occurred in Tokyo Bay on November 9, 1974.  On November 26, she arrived at the incident site together with the escort vessels JDS Takatsuki, JDS Mochizuki, JDS Narushio and JDS Yukikaze. She was dispatched to Tokyo Bay and fired to sink the vessel from the 27th to the 28th. On November 27, the 51st Escort Corps was formed under the 1st Escort Corps, and was incorporated together with JDS Hiei, when she was commissioned on the same day.

In July 1975, she participated in a joint anti-submarine warfare training with the US Navy along with JDS Hiei, JDS Akizuki, JDS Makishio and JDS Narushio, south of Honshu.  From July 3 to August 17, 1978, she participated in Hawaii dispatch training with the JDS Hiei, JDS Kuroshio, and eight P-2J aircraft.

On March 27, 1981, the 52nd Escort Corps was formed under the 2nd Escort Corps, and was incorporated with JDS Kurama, when she was commissioned on the same day. Home port was transferred to Sasebo.  From November 2 to December 2, 1982, she participated in the Hawaii dispatch training with the escort vessels JDS Shirane, JDS Asakaze and eight P-2Js.  On March 30, 1983, the 52nd Escort Corps was abolished and became a ship under the direct control of the 2nd Escort Corps.

On March 30, 1984, she was transferred to the 3rd Escort Group as their flagship.  From March 31, 1986, FRAM repair started at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery Works. This refurbishment improved anti-submarine search capability, individual ship air defense capability, combat command / information processing capability, and electronic warfare capability, and extended the age of the ship by eight years. This FRAM repair work was completed on October 31, 1987, and returned to the flagship of the 3rd Escort Crops.  From June 16 to September 6, 1989, she was dispatched to the United States with JDS Shimakaze and JDS Mineyuki and participated in the Japan-US joint exercise READIEX 89-4A.  In 1990, participated in the Exercise RIMPAC 1990.  From June 15 to September 5, 1995, she participated in the US dispatch training with JDS Sawakaze and three P-3C aircraft.  From June 9 to September 3, 1997, she participated in the US dispatch training with JDS Hamagiri, JDS Myōkō and five P-3C aircraft.

On March 20, 1998, her home port was transferred to Maizuru. On October 13, the same year, she participated in the International Fleet Review to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of Korea in Busan, South Korea, along with JDS Setogiri and JDS Myōkō.  On February 18, 1999, during a firing circuit test of a high-performance 20mm machine gun (CIWS) while berthed at Maizuru Port, two live ammunition were fired accidentally and landed near Mt. Aoba, east of the port.  On March 24, the same year, in the case of a suspicious ship off the Noto Peninsula, the first "maritime security action" was announced, and it was dispatched with JDS Myōkō and JDS Abukuma to fire warning shots at the suspicious ship.

On February 12, 2002, based on the Act on Special Measures Against Terrorism, dispatched to the Indian Ocean along with JDS Sawakaze and JDS Tokiwa. She was on duty until June of the same year and returned to Japan on August 7.  On July 15, 2003, she was dispatched to the Indian Ocean along with the escort ship (at that time) JDS Asagiri and JDS Towada. She was on duty until October of the same year and returned to Japan on November 19.

In 2004, she participated in the Exercise RIMPAC 2004.

On August 21, 2007, she made a goodwill visit to the Russian Pacific Fleet base in Vladivostok. The arrival press conference was held in the Golden Horn.  On March 26, 2008, the escort corps was reorganized and transferred to the 3rd Escort Corps. In the same year, participated in the Exercise RIMPAC 2008.

Removed from the register on March 18, 2009. The total cruising range was 959,652.1 miles (48 laps of the earth, equivalent to 2.3 round trips per month), the total number of helicopter landings were 55,013, and the total number of flights were 21,927 hours.

In October 2009, she set off to a dismantling company located in Etajima, and was completed dismantled in January 2010.

L.A. Raises Speed Limits on More Than 100 Miles of City Streets
Posted 4:41 PM, December 11, 2018, by Los Angeles Times and Lauren Lyster, Updated at 08:59AM, December 12, 2018
Los Angeles officials on Tuesday raised speed limits on more than 100 miles of streets, saying the increases are the best way to quickly resolve a years-long problem that has prevented police officers from ticketing speeding drivers across the city.
Despite concerns from neighborhood groups, the City Council voted unanimously to raise the speed limit on well-known thoroughfares, including portions of Mulholland Drive, San Vicente Boulevard and Reseda Boulevard. Most of the increases were of 5 miles per hour.
Raising speed limits is a bitter pill, particularly as the city struggles to reduce deaths in traffic collisions, city officials said. But a California law designed to protect drivers from speed traps leaves the city with no good options, they said.
"We are stuck with not enforcing speed limits, or raising them," said Westside City Councilman Mike Bonin at a recent committee meeting. "Most people hate that choice."

Elio Momentum v32 – The latest on Elio Motors' Engine, Investment, and E-Series
Engine, Investment, E-Series Highlight Major Milestones on Path to Production
What do Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Bentley, and Bugatti have in common with Elio? Besides their great looks and high quality, all of these manufacturers share the same engine developer, IAV. The difference is that Elio owners will get world-class design and performance without a six-figure price tag!
Building an innovative vehicle like the Elio is a bold step. It requires dedication, passion, blood, sweat, and even a few tears. But, it is a whole lot easier when you have the right partners. That's why we're fortunate to work with industry icon, IAV. The expertise that the IAV team brings to the table takes the uncertainty out of building our own engine from the ground up.
The engine, which we first showed in March, is part of a drumbeat of important milestones this year. The engine also was part of one of perhaps our biggest milestone of the year – the Los Angeles Auto Show debut of the P5 prototype.
Another major step at the LA Show was the announcement that we launched a public stock sale. Access to capital is one of our most important keys to success and current offering has allowed us to lay the groundwork for what will be an important milestone in early 2016. We now have the funds to build our E-Series of engineering and testing vehicles, which is a significant step prior to finalizing our tooling and production plans.
Something we've talked about a lot lately is the importance of access to capital. As most of you may know, we have received authorization from the Securities and Exchange Commission under Regulation A+ to launch a $25 million stock offer. You can make an investment here.
All of these efforts – the engine, the fundraising, and the E-series – were an important part of the vision that founder and CEO Paul Elio was talking about in aninterview at The Motley Fool earlier this year.
Currently, we are going through the process of determining the exact build schedule for the E-Series based on which tests we need to run. As we've stated many times in the past, the Elio is engineered to meet the highest safety standards. The upcoming testing is an important step in making this a reality. As we continue to finalize the build schedule and launch the production on the E-Series, we'll keep you posted right here.

Abby Martinez knows how much goes into completing a successful stunt. If the stunt comes down, it may not be one person's fault.
Martinez, a 2012 Lake graduate, is in her first year coaching cheerleading at her alma mater. On a recent summer evening, she led her team through an open gym practice at the middle school, running through tumbling, jumps, and stunts.
The stunts, also known as mounting, require trust and skill. As two girls raise another into the air, the base is created. Another girl is in the back, ready to catch the flyer, the girl at the top.
To properly pull off the stunts, modern cheerleading teams need more athleticism than they may have required in the past.
Falling is a part of cheerleading, but Martinez needs to respond with support. Like so many things in life, recovery isn't easy when you've been knocked down.
"We don't expect perfection, that's really unrealistic," Martinez said.
Cheerleaders don't perform on an island. They'll interact with the student section and marching band during games. The Flyers run around with flags that spell out Lake in their efforts to grab the crowd's attention.
"We interact very closely with [the student section] and we cheer with them through class cheers and different cheers that they request to do," said Jaelyn Fairchild, a senior at Lake.
Assistant coach Kim Goetz worked with Martinez at Genoa High School when Martinez was a volunteer assistant there. Goetz wants to help provide spirit for the football team, whether it's decorating lockers or decorating the school.
The team practices twice a week during the school year. The full squad didn't practice together this summer, so the team focused on game day material to begin the season.
It's not just about Friday night football, though. Cheerleading competitions are televised on television networks such as ESPN. Martinez has her sights on the OASSA's State Cheerleading and Dance Championships for a sixth straight year.
The squad's routine consists of tumbling, dancing, and stunting. With Lake being in a stunting division, Martinez said judges will be looking closely at the team's execution on stunts. Having consistent, solid execution on their stunts will be important.
"They're looking to make sure our stunts go up in the air, and they don't come down," Martinez said.
And Martinez knows that truly takes a team effort.


Whatever the size of your organisation a high proportion of your IT budget can be spent on printers and consumables. One of the easiest ways to reduce this cost is to implement a managed print service solution that will give you visibility on what you are printing, it will enable you to consolidate your printers to reduce costs and you can have more control over your printers to improve the way your team is scanning and printing documents.
Todays modern printers also have a higher level of security to ensuring the confidentiality of documents that are being printed and as they are more efficient they will help your organisation to be more environmentally friendly.
Increase overall visibility of your printing usage and printing costs.
If you are interested in looking at a Managed Print Service solution we would be delighted to carry out a free Print Survey to establish your existing print volumes and we can then evaluate your printing requirements to determine the best managed print service for your organisation.
