Why Use Live labs Online Focus Groups

Say goodbye to in-person focus groups and lack luster online gatherings

In-person focus groups usually take weeks to plan, set up and execute, include expensive travel costs for staff and clients, and force you to select participants from among a very limited group of those who actually ‘show up’, not to mention very high total project costs. Unless you need participants to taste, touch or smell a product, why in a COVID-19 world are you conducting in-person focus groups?

And while all online focus group technologies bring participants, moderators and clients together without travel, most providers have limited or no recruiting capabilities, lack media and message testing tools, do not provide real-time data visualization of results, do not live stream groups, force moderators to become tech experts, and still require long lead times.

With Mercury’s Live Labs online focus groups, we’ve taken all the hassles out of qualitative consumer research.

  • Hold your focus group in the next few days or tonight if crisis response demands it
  • Mercury handles recruiting and connects you with an oversample of precisely screened participants from a specific city, from across the nation, or from around the globe
  • Moderate with ease as our facilitators handle every technical aspect of a group’s execution
  • Show videos, print images or messages, or conduct advanced dial-tests, image heatmap tests, or text-highlighting message tests
  • See real-time data visualizations of media tests, crosstabs, word-clouds, and much more
  • Allow clients to watch the Live Labs group’s real-time video stream
  • See the recorded group video with searchable transcript within a couple hours after the group
With Mercury’s Live Labs online focus groups you’ve got the Mercury team, the best recruiting, the most advanced technologies, at an economical price, with faster, better insights and results.

Live Labs: Superior Recruiting

First and foremost, a focus group succeeds or fails based on the quality of the participants.

Thanks to our network of specialized sample partners, our sample team has access to tens of millions of potential participants across the globe.  For each Live Labs group, we recruit an oversample of 100+ carefully targeted individuals who each precisely match your screening requirements, have webcams, and agree to participate in a recorded focus group. As the group forms, you’ll have a choice of 3 to 4 times the number of respondents you need, allowing you to select the best combination of engaged individuals who collectively represent your desired mix.

We recruit participants in two different ways:

  • When screeners are selective, we Pre-Recruit participants 2 to 4 days prior to a Live Labs group, to ensure you have a large number and diverse mix of fully qualifying respondents, and Mercury sends reminder emails to participants at regular intervals to insure strong group participation
  • When rapid response action is needed, we On-Demand Recruit participants just prior to the start of the group, assuming screeners are not very low incidence, and rapidly drive sample until we have an ideal number and blend of perfectly qualifying participants

If requested, we also work with a client's third-party focus group recruiter.

live labs: select ideal participants

Regardless of how qualifying participants were recruited, beginning 30 minutes before the start of a Live Labs group, fully screened and qualifying participants start connecting onto the Live Labs platform.

Before gaining access to the Live Labs focus group, incoming participants are placed in a holding state, but pop-up in Mercury’s proprietary Live Labs Focus Group Monitor where they can be reviewed in detail.  The monitor clearly presents all demographic and pre-screen data for each available individual to your focus group moderator and Mercury’s highly trained group facilitator. Based on the pre-screen data, decisions are made collaboratively as to who to admit, who may be redundant and should be rejected, and who should remain in the holding state while waiting to review additional qualifying participants. As a result, a diverse mix of those most passionate or those representing an ideal group dynamic are selected.

Before being admitted into the group, each participant is quickly interviewed by your moderator and Mercury’s facilitator to insure that their webcam and microphone are working, that they are visible, and that they are going to actively participate and contribute to the group. Mercury’s facilitator handles all technical aspects of the group’s execution throughout the event, permitting your moderator to focus exclusively on being a great moderator and not a tech guru. Once the ideal mix of qualifying participants have been selected, the Live Labs focus group begins.

Live Labs: Dynamic Group Experience

Armed with the Live Labs Focus Group Monitor and its seamless integration with ZOOM conferencing technology, Live Labs provides the ideal environment for focus group execution.  Pre-screened and pre-interviewed participants will all be visible, easy to hear and active, and throughout the focus group, your moderator will have constant insight into each respondent’s pre-screen survey answers and demographics, adding perspective that may better inform focus group discussion.

At any time during the focus group, videos, images, or other media can be displayed and discussed within the group, all technically managed by Mercury’s ever-present Live Labs group facilitator. Additionally, advanced media testing capabilities including Mercury’s moment-to-moment dial tests, image tests, or text highlighting exercises can be administered to Live Labs focus group participants. In real-time, as participants answer quantitative or qualitative questions or complete advanced media or message tests, moderators and remote clients can view crosstabs, open-end analytics, as well as complete visualization of all dial-tests and image or message heat-maps at our secure Analytics Workbench web portal.

Live labs: Live Stream & Record

Every Live Labs group is recorded and privately live streamed permitting remote observation by clients or remote team members. Shortly after a group’s end, the video and searchable AI generated transcription are available on the Analytics Workbench, with a final human edited transcription available within 24 hours. Data analytics and advanced visualizations are always available in real-time for each group and consolidated if multiple groups are conducted.

DYP Protocol Launches on Avalanche and Introduces New NFT Competition

Spread the love

VALLETTA, Malta, 19 July 2021, ZEXPRWIRE, DeFi Yield Protocol (DYP), a unique protocol that offers users solutions for crypto yield farming and staking, recently launched its new NFT Marketplace that facilitates creators and collectors to mint and trade non-fungible tokens.

The marketplace allows users to create and sell their unique digital artwork on Ethereum. It will soon expand to Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Avalanche (AVAX), enabling any user (artist or not) to transfer their NFTs between the three blockchains.

DYP users can finally enjoy unique, digital ownership rights in a thriving NFT marketplace. The robust integration of an in-built NFT marketplace on DYP is a significant milestone for the digital collectibles space. It introduces an environmentally friendly approach and lower transaction costs.

Creators will only be charged a 0.30% payment to sell their digital artwork on DYP’s NFT dApp, a factor that distinguishes it from other rival NFT dApps in existence today.

The DYP NFT Creative Competition is LIVE!

To celebrate the launch of the  NFT Marketplace, DYP has introduced a creative competition that invites NFT creators worldwide to use their imagination and creativity to come up with unique collectibles.

Participants in the creative contest stand to share a $50,000 Prize Pool. The NFT competition kicked off on July 12 and continues until at least 1000 NFTs have been created.

The DYP token powers all products in the DeFi Yield Protocol and is a requirement for entering the ecosystem and unlocking an unprecedented level of security for projects and individual asset holders. The governance token now has a new use case in facilitating users to pay transaction fees for NFT smart contract operations in the ecosystem.

The protocol’s native token also has multiple use cases in liquidity locking on the protocol, earn vault strategies, and the DYP referral system. The token is also a requirement for subscriptions to the DYP Tools Premium. This service increases use cases for the DYP token while allowing the platform to provide a liquidity locker for any DeFi project.

The DYP Launchpad v1.0, which is currently only available on Ethereum, is scheduled to launch on AVAX and BSC, offering multiple tiers based on the amount of locked DYP. Staking services from the DeFi Yield Protocol are also coming to BSC and AVAX very soon!

Apart from the use cases mentioned above, the DYP token is a requirement for entering the DeFi Yield Protocol ecosystem and unlocking an unprecedented level of security for projects and individual asset holders.

DYP Partners with Avalanche’s Pangolin Exchange

DYP started offering its yield farming solutions on Ethereum, becoming the first and only protocol to reward users in ETH. The protocol has since expanded to BSC and is now looking to build its extensive features on Avalanche to become a leading cross-chain DeFi platform.

The latest development from DYP is the strategic partnership with Pangolin Exchange, a premier decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Avalanche Network. The move will bring users and liquidity from other networks onto Avalanche and into the Pangolin DEX.

DYP enables DeFi enthusiasts from Avalanche, the fastest smart contracts platform in the blockchain space, to earn up to 330.53% APY. The AVAX/DYP pair in Pangolin already has over $500,000 in liquidity just one week after DYP launched on Avalanche.

Braised Cod Peperonata Is Deliciously Tender & Moist

This undated photo provided by America's Test Kitchen in March 2019 shows Braised Cod Peperonata in Brookline, Mass. This recipe appears in the book "Cook It in Your Dutch Oven." (Steve Klise/America's Test Kitchen via AP)

A brief stovetop braise is the perfect way to cook delicate white fish like cod, since it keeps the fish moist and silky while creating a sauce at the same time.

By America’S Test Kitchen

To give the mild fillets a boost of flavour, we paired them with a Spanish-style peperonata, a combination of cooked bell peppers and onions, to which we added tomatoes, wine, paprika, and fresh thyme for depth of flavour.

We then simply nestled the cod right into the pepper mixture and covered the Dutch oven. The sauce infused the fish fillets as they braised and protected them from the heat so they stayed tender. Haddock and hake are good substitutes for the cod.

Servings: 4

Start to finish: 1 hour

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for serving

1 onion, halved and sliced thin

2 red bell peppers, stemmed, seeded, and sliced thin

Salt and pepper

4 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons paprika

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained

1/2 cup dry white wine

1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried

4 (6- to 8 ounce) skinless cod fillets, 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Sherry or balsamic vinegar

Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion, bell peppers, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and paprika and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes, wine, and thyme and bring to simmer.

Season cod with salt and pepper. Nestle cod, skinned side down, into pot and spoon some of sauce over fish. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until fish flakes apart when gently prodded with paring knife and registers 140 F, about 10 minutes.

Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with basil and vinegar, and drizzle with extra oil before serving.

A special agricultural credit programme focusing on women || Newspapers (Arabic)

The Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Hussein Hajj Hassan, and the Head of the EU Delegation in Lebanon, Ambassador Angelina Eichhorst signed, together yesterday with the chair of the board of Kafalat, Dr. Khater Abou Habib, a grant contract amounting to 3.5 million Euros allocated to a credit programme for rural and agricultural development. The agreement falls within the framework of the Agricultural and Rural Development Programme financed by the European Union and implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture.
This new programme seeks to support the agricultural sector through building institutional capacities, strengthening rural communities and supporting initiatives which aim to meet the MDGs according to the Ministry’s strategic plan for 2010-2014.  The programme also aims to facilitate the access of small farmers and cooperatives to loans and focuses on women in rural areas as well as young farmers through increasing their income and creating new work opportunities throughout the agricultural production cycle in both rural and urban areas.
The Minister of Agriculture highlighted the importance of this new agreement noting that farmers will be able to break from the current lending cycles which imposes high interest rates often reaching 20 to 40% of the loan amount.

10 Brain Foods To Boost Your Childs Concentration

December 12, 2016

10 Brain Foods To Boost Your Childs Concentration

The ability to concentrate doesn’t come naturally to kids. Concentration is a skill children learn and develop as they mature but parents can help prime their brains through the right nutrition.Here is a selection of the best brainy food choices to help kids concentrate:

1. FISH, especially cold water varieties like salmon, mackerel, pilchards, kippers, sardines, tuna, and herring. The human body is unable to produce omega-3 fatty acids, making them vital nutrients to include in the diet as healthy blood levels of omega-3 can improve children’s reading, memory and behavior and improve symptoms of ADHD and depression.

STAR KIDS tip: Salmon sandwiches on whole wheat bread is a healthy alternative to tuna.

2. AVOCADOS  have the highest protein content of any fruit and are rich in monounsaturated fat, which contributes to healthy blood flow, which contributes to healthy brain function, according to Dr Steven Pratt, author of Superfoods Rx: Fourteen Foods Proven to Change Your Life.

STAR KIDS tip: Mash an avocado and spread on wraps instead of mayonnaise or cream cheese.

3. NUTS & SEEDS A good intake of vitamin E might help to prevent cognitive decline by protecting nervous membranes. Thiamine helps the brain and nervous system use glucose for energy. Nuts and seeds are an excellent source of vitamin E and also stand out for their significant omega-3 content.

STAR KIDS tip: Add sprinkles of nuts to salads, desserts or breakfast. And don’t be shy to add some extra peanut butter to your children’s sandwiches or smoothies.

4. BLUEBERRIES, also called “brainberries ” are packed with phytochemicals, vitamin C and other antioxidants that rid the brain of harmful free radicals. Strawberries, cherries and blueberries are also great alternatives.
STAR KIDS tip: Berries can be used in smoothies or just as they are for healthy snacks or desserts.

5. VEGGIES, like tomatoes, broccoli, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, spinach are the best sources of antioxidants that keep brain cells strong and healthy. Some of the benefits include:
  • Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that could help protect against free radical damage.
  • Broccoli is an excellent source of vitamin C — an antioxidant that protects the body's cells from damage. It also provides vitamin K, which contributes to the enhancement of cognitive function and improvement of brainpower .
  • Spinach is rich in the antioxidant lutein, which is thought to help protect against cognitive decline.
  • Sweet potatoes are a good source of potassium, vitamin C, fibre and beta-carotene, an antioxidant that helps prevent certain types of cancer and mops up free radicals.
STAR KIDS tip: It is easy to sneak veggies into sauces and stews. Or you can try interesting alternatives to old favorites like sweet potato fries or pumpkin muffins to increase their veggie intake fuss-free.

Our brains, like the other organs and systems in our bodies, require an adequate, steady supply of energy to function properly.

6. WHOLE GRAINS release glucose slowly into our bodies, which minimises the effects of sugar rushes caused by refined foods. This steady supply of glucose improves alertness, concentration and memory. Whole grains are also a good source of other B vitamins that can also help improve alertness.

STAR KIDS tip: Substitute old favourites like pasta, bread, wraps and couscous for wholegrain varieties. Start slowly by mixing half of the processed variety with half wholegrain and gradually increase the wholegrain ratio.

7. BEANS provide little bodies with energy from protein and complex carbs. They’re also packed with fibre, vitamins and minerals like iron. Just remember to add tomatoes or strawberries to your meal because the iron in beans needs vitamin C to be absorbed.

STAR KIDS tip: Add pureed kidney or pinto beans to stews, pasta sauces and in wraps.

8. EGGS are well-known as a protein source but also provide choline, zinc and vitamins A, D, E and B12, which help memory development.

STAR KIDS tip: Make French toast with whole-wheat bread and top with fruit and honey.

9. LEAN RED MEAT provides children with a tasty source of iron that is easily absorbed. Iron is necessary to help red blood cells carry oxygen to cells throughout the body and is important for brain development. Iron deficiency is extremely common in children and can cause learning and behaviour problems over time.

STAR KIDS tip: Make homemade beef burgers (on whole wheat rolls) and top them with fresh vegetables.

10. WATER Our bodies are mostly made of water and being even slightly dehydrated can make kids listless, lethargic, and irritable. Water is the best option to prevent dehydration and improve short-term memory, focus and decision making.

STAR KIDS tip: Offer water at every meal and make sure there is always a bottle of H2O in their lunch bags.

Suffering from a relatively rare form of type 1 diabetes, involving what is called hypoglycaemia unawareness, Ruth’s blood sugar level would sometimes fall without her realising – a situation that could potentially trigger seizures, loss of consciousness, brain damage or even death.

Today this grandmother from the New South Wales Central Coast no longer fears the worst effects of her diabetes – all thanks to taking part in a pioneering clinical trial.

Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disease which destroys the body’s insulin producing cells. About 10 per cent of sufferers are affected by hypoglycaemia unawareness.

Searching for a better way to control the disease, scientists at The Westmead Institute and Westmead Hospital established Australia’s first successful trial of a relatively non-invasive procedure in which insulin-producing pancreatic islet cells are taken from donor organs and transplanted into a recipient’s liver.

Ruth was a perfect candidate for the trial. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 20, she had spent most of her adult life undergoing twice-daily insulin injections. Although she managed to work and have a family life, her illness had worsened and Ruth lost much of her eyesight.

In 2007, at Westmead Hospital, she underwent a single islet transplant followed by a double islet transplant - in which islet cells were isolated from two donor organs and transplanted in the one procedure.

The result of the operations was remarkable. For the past five years, Ruth has not needed to take a single insulin injection - nor suffered a hypoglycaemia unawareness episode.

It’s a great example of the ability of medical science to give hope.

“I wasn’t worried about the possible risks involved in the trial, I was just happy to have a chance to lead a normal life,” said Ruth.

“Without the transplants I probably would be totally blind today and if I’d had a really bad episode of hypoglycaemia unawareness, I might not be alive.”

Although Ruth must still watch her diet and monitor sugar intake, she now leads an active healthy life.

And husband John - who so often needed to call an ambulance or help her through a hypoglycaemic episode - no longer needs to be constantly vigilant about Ruth’s health.

The 2020 Wedding & Event Trend - Sustainability

Wedding & Event trends come and go – we’ve all seen the Cronuts, Donut Walls,

Unicorn everything and updating your Facebook Status at the altar. I often get asked what the upcoming or latest trend for Events and Weddings is and you may or may not be shocked at what I’m about to say. Our usual and previous comments are on aesthetics – like the good ol’ cheese tower instead of wedding cake or grazing tables on arrival, however, our prediction for 2020 is a lot more humbling and carefully thought out than the style of table decorations or long and lows (you know – the floral arrangement in the middle of the table that is quite literally designed and placed as it is named – long and low). The new trend is a little greener than previously mentioned and we certainly aren’t relating to the colour.

It’s Sustainability!

I recently asked a business friend of mine, regarding choosing an Event or Wedding Venue and asked the following:

“If you had 2 top Event or Wedding Venues with similar inclusions, similar menus and similar prices… would the fact that one of them is promoting that they are producing sustainable & conscious menu items/ furniture & decorations/ using conscious suppliers persuade your decision?”

and not to my surprise the answer was

“abso – bloody - lutely”.

With the unfortunate events surrounding our beautiful Australian country over the last 4 months, and the natural world enlightenment surrounding climate change – us humans are experiencing some trauma, whether we like it or not. We have started questioning where our everyday life choices come from which, in turn, makes us question our food and beverage choices, spending choices and environmental choices. Slowly but surely you will see this “trend” become apparent through questions in your venue site inspections and event enquiries, so it’s time to put a little focus on this and ensure you are ready.

But Why?

Event / Wedding Managers

Imagine using the products and services you promote and sell every day knowing that they came from a sustainable source or a company working towards sustainability! It’s that little extra job satisfaction you will get and you don’t have to change the way your day to day works. You can confidently continue to sell whilst know you are trying to work with our environment one step at a time.

It will soon become a topic of conversation at Events & Weddings so why not start asking the questions? Some venues are already doing their part or at least striving to become better. Take our clients - Applejack Hospitality in Sydney, for example, who are already partnering with GoodFish Project – Australia’s Sustainable Seafood Guide and have plated many seafood dishes the sustainable way. It’s not limited to Sydney – but also in places like Byron Bay, where the exquisite Rae’s at Wategoes Beach is a partner and one of my favourites – Harvest in Newrybar. It may seem like I’m a partner too but low and behold I am not – I’m just a super huge seafood lover 😉

Image: Applejack Hospitality - The Endeavour Tap Rooms - Sydney

Sales Tools

This will become a natural Sales Tool very shortly, something you can easily promote and discuss with your potential clients – it’s like that delicious little sneaky add on to show your clients that you know your stuff… and… you’re on top of the game. It's a natural aspect for me to teach and mentor Event Managers to answer the questions of a potential client before they ask them. Imagine if you could proudly announce what you’re doing to promote sustainability within your client's event! This isn’t just limited to food and beverage – this can be related to using local providers, sourcing handmade and properly paid makers of decorations and furnishing (provided by your venue of course) or as simple as setting up a meeting with your current suppliers to sell their activities in improving sustainability.

Together we can work to ensure this trend becomes everything BUT a trend – It will boost confidence and understanding in your job role, convert more clients (as naturally all of our mindsets are shifting), create more revenue for your business, the local community & suppliers you support, all whilst using the new positive changes as Sales Tools – because remember:

Sales is not about fabricating ideas or exaggerating offerings but simply believing in and being proud of the product or service you provide. Sustainability for the win.

Drone life-saver program rolling out across Australian beaches this summer

Australia is the world’s largest island and the smallest continent (Oceania).

Along with a gigantic coastline, great weather and a litany of deadly animals, the lucky country down under has some of the world’s best beaches.

As millions of Australians and tourists make their way to beaches this summer, Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) has partnered with Westpac bank to launch a surf rescue program using drones.

51 UAVs are due to be deployed in locations around the nation and will be tasked with conducting beach patrols to ensure swimmers and paddlers stay safe while in the water.

Between June 2017 and June 2018, 249 Australians drowned. 20 percent of those deaths (50) occurred on beaches. With some beaches such as Bondi in Sydney hosting as many of 50,000 visitors a day, SLSA wishes to do all they can to prevent harm befalling the public.

What will the drone do as part of the program?

The main purposes for these drones are to give surf life-saving crew an overview of what’s happening on a beach at any time. When not patrolling, they might be on standby and then rapidly deployed to the scene of an emergency in order to transmit critical information about rips or swimmers who may be struggling to stay afloat.

At the beginning of 2018, we brought you a story of two teenage boys in Australia who were saved from drowning after a drone dropped flotation devices. The drones rolled out in this initiative will not initially be equipped with floatation devices but they do plan to do so in the near future.

Westpac Group CEO, Brian Hartzer, told Gizmodo: “This technology gives surf lifesavers more eyes in the sky to spot rips and distressed swimmers, and respond to those in need sooner.”

The drones are to be coupled with better lifeguard training and further research into the causes of deaths and injuries all with the hope that swimmers and beachgoers will be safer this summer.

Here are the hard facts about what a Shuttercraft franchise can do for you

Do these numbers add up for you?

Choosing a franchise needs careful consideration when it comes to the features that are most important to you and will give you the greatest satisfaction from running your own business.

In your working life, what are the things you enjoy most and which franchise options will enable you to spend most time doing them?

How much do you want to invest? What’s your budget and how can you get the best value from the various options on offer?

What plans do you have for your venture into franchising? Is it important that you choose a franchise you can grow and develop or is it more about getting the lifestyle you want or maybe a mixture of both?

Are you building a business for future generations? Do you want to build a framework that enables you to hand it over when the time is right?

These are all crucial questions and you need to work through what is important to you and develop a process that helps you decide which franchise to choose.

Sales and income

But what’s even more fundamental than many of the questions you will ask yourself is what you can expect from a franchise in terms of sales and income. After all, it’s not just about the dreams and aspirations you have, but about the hard facts of what the franchise will deliver for you. Most, if not all, franchises will offer you full support and training. The majority will have a great network of individuals who support each other. Some will offer fantastic products or services that you really want to sell.

Significant figures

Shuttercraft understands the dynamics and considerations that go into making your choice, but not only does this company provide everything in terms of award winning training and support, excellent products and a model that enables you to grow and develop, it also has significant figures that back up the company’s franchise proposition, including:

  • 80 per cent of leads generated by the Shuttercraft head office team to support your business.
  • 60 per cent of leads generated by head office convert to a sale.
  • The average sale price is £650.
  • Average of £32,000 per month in retail sales for each franchise partner.
  • £100,000 gross profit achievable in three years.
  • Cash flow positive in six months.

Whatever you decide are the most important features for you, take a good hard look at the numbers. Evidence of what is achievable will help you start with the confidence to flourish.

Eagle Cam

Some of the most important uses of technology is to allow us to see that which we have never seen before.  Right now I am watching Eagle Cam of the Bald Eagle pair, First Lady and Mr. President, with their new hatchlings.  The eggs broken from the inside by the little ones, with an occasionally help from Mom, this week on Eagle Cam living television.

The cameras are now small enough and the transmitters strong enough to be with the nest and not bother the eagles.  This is technology in use for all of us.

Where I live is one pair of Bald Eagles, they were looking for a new nest site during the last couple of years, but have, for one reason or another, found our little peninsula lacking.  We have numerous hawks and a Brown Eagle pair nearby.  The Bald Eagles do soar around us on their missions to restock the larder, but that is all.  I do bring in my cats so they do not become an appetizer.

“All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred,

comes invariably from people who are not fighting.”
George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia

Today is one of those days, March 19, 2016,  which places a thumb on the scales of good and evil.  This day is one of those days which makes me sick to my stomach.  Today is probably one of the days equal to all the idiotic days of idiotic actions by power mad and idiotic presidents combined.  This is the day the VI Bush II invaded Iraq.

Oh, we all watched or read about his excuses to engage in a war against a country which had been made into a backwater by his father.  We know the lies he spread to enter a country which was nothing more than an account in the budget of the U.S. Air Force.  And, we know four thousand four hundred ninty-one United States military were killed for the VI and his criminals.

The war was for a guy trying to show how smart and tough he was.  It was a war that the leftovers from the Vietnam War waged to show how they were right about Vietnam and Tricky Dick was wrong to negotiate a treaty to get our ass out of the beautiful country left wasted.  It was a war for all the wrong reasons.

Think of Vietnam.  The buildup to it is complex and the results were in a very different time.  World War II had literally just ended.  The Korean War was just at a truce and a line barely in place.  And the Soviet Union was doing its best to rattle America.  Add in Red China trying to extend its influence.  A lot was going on in the world and in particular South East Asia.

Forward a few decades and we have the unelected president trying to show how he was tougher and smarter than daddy.  His syncopates were more than willing to join in under his big umbrella.  Need a reason to invade.  Why not combine the attacks on the U.S. on September 11, 2001 with something.  Unfortunately the only something to add in would be lies.  So, why not use lies?   We the citizens of the United States of America were lied to.  The rest of the world was lied to in the United Nations Assembly.  The VI got his war.

Fast forward button pressed to the current Republican Party.  A party more often screaming and yelling and threatening to use American might to smuanch those they dislike than to negotiate a calm.  They think that the U.S. military is to be used anytime they suspect a terrorist cell is around, even it is not.

Now that you are in 2016 (jesus alou this is a long time from my beginning) and the Republican Party is now a party of idiots, with several of the idiots who were with Nixon and the VI playing a supporting role, I can only guess at what would happen if the orange hair bully was elected president.  Sure a few in the military would resign or retire rather than do his bidding.  The majority would follow orders.

Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, the Baltics, India, Palestine, and many more regions would be in danger.  He probably would not bother with Africa, his supporters do not care about black people.  I am very willing to believe he would be attacking the world on his own, no other nation would lift a finger, other than to protest.

You want to know why this election is so important?  That alone should scare people to vote Democratic.  Domestically he has promised to make this the white supremacist homeland.  Anyone except white, male and in the missionary position would be punished.  Scared yet?

Trouble Right Here In River City

Music Man

Trouble, oh we got trouble,

Alice in Pool of Tears
Alice In Pool of Tears

Right here in River City!
With a capital “T”
That rhymes with “P”
And that stands for Pool,
That stands for pool.
We’ve surely got trouble!
Right here in River City,
Right here!
Gotta figure out a way
To keep the young ones moral after school!
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble...

Yes folks, there’s gonna be a whole lot o’ trouble in Cleveland when the Republican’s face reality and it is a stain more dark than that of someone peeing in the pool.  They have their unpopularly elected candidate.  With more votes than their next unpopular candidate, who is also not welcome in the pool.

The media is finally turning on Trump, and it is showing in his actions.  The only thing left to keep his name in the headlines is to do as he said he would, “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters,”  Shooting his voters is not a good thing, but encouraging bloodshed by his “supporters” is a good thing to him.  Somehow I do not think his “supporters” are really his, they are the ones who would support any racist, misogynist, loud mouth.  Wallace comes to mind.

Trump is just one of many who sold his soul to the devil for votes.  He has exactly what he wants, international fame and glory infamy.  He accomplished more than any television program could ever do.  He wants the football to blast his way to the ultimate high.  That is what is scaring his fellow Republicans.  End civilization as the biggest of the big O’s for megalomaniac, narcissistic people like him.

The talking heads, the Jimmie Olsen’s, the political bloggers and even professional (bell rung too hard) athletes provide deep thought analysis of the Republican situation.  The Democratic situation, which is many levels higher, is a more cerebral issue.  The Republicans have a clown fight on their hands and cannot figure out which is the head clown with the full seltzer bottle and which is the clown with the wet face.

What will happen to the R’s in Cleveland comes down to which cohort do the Republican money men want to piss off most.  The angry white men who support any Facist move, or at least any white supremacist group?  The mainstream Republican voters who would rather vote for green fuzzy white bread than any of the clown car inhabitants?  Or the rest of the U.S. and the world?

My guess is not formed yet.  Sure, I could speculate now and then do a trump and say I never wrote that after proven wrong.  But, I would rather pop more popcorn and enjoy sitting in the cheap seats watching the action.  At least until after Ohio votes.

The ideal place for me is the one in which it is most natural to live as a foreigner

Brits Sour Grapes Italo Calvino

Granted England is somewhere about the size of Manhattan, give or take a few blocks, it is imperative that we former colonists show some interest in Dear old Blighty. Given that the current presidential race scares the drawers off of almost all of Europe, we necessarily look towards our former owner with some desire to learn how things are going on the island.

Although many have shown disinterest in the struggles of the U.K. without a continent full of colonies, we former colonists can show our colors, Red White and Blue, match that of the Union Jack. Why even our songs have similar melodies, albeit with some very different words.

One way that we can show our appreciation for the old homelands is by watching Prime Ministers Questions. Watching those gives a good feel for the parliamentarian form of government. Can you imagine our president down in the well taking the questions from Congress? Why not you say? A rowdy good spectacle you say?

If we are looking to find a place to head to if Trump is president, not saying he could be, but. .. Anyway. Knowing some of the rules necessary to be in Parliament is a good idea for politically active folks. First up, you really do need to be a citizen of Jolly Old England. As Americans, the Brits do not accept our offer that we were former colonists. They still hold a grudge about the late 1700’s. Next is we took over the place during WWII and that is still one of those things hanging around too. Post WWII a great many of us returned with more greenbacks.

But, it is important to remember we picked up a bit of anti-British way of holding our forks. Be careful to use your fork the British way when back and looking about for a new home.

What Did You Do This Week?

Oh, I rekindled a passion which I now remember why I let it bank to a single ember years ago.

I finally pulled the plug on my main website (normal people do not even own one website, let alone four (I think I only have four)) and started the pain of rebuilding it on a new platform and in new languages. That is tech talk for I had to rewrite the website.

What-ME has been online since June, 1994. Over the years it has shown protests against three presidents. Numerous idiots who somehow decided they know more about how I want to live than myself. An untold number of sanctimonious types trying to force their religion up my rear. A great deal of pain from so many people dying of Hepatitis C. information regarding all sorts of things that I wanted to give out. Each year the banned book lists was a front page feature. And, it has been a way for an old programmer to keep up on the newest trends of software and the Internet.

Somehow twenty-two years of action brings back some very vivid memories. Abortion fights. Civil rights fights; campaigns for office, mine and others. A running body count during the Bush II Afghanistan and Iraq war because mainstream media would not. American Red Cross blood drives, I do not post much about my ARC Disaster Services work, that is best done by the ARC. Pictures of my pets, even the death of a microwave, purchased in 1977 and built like a tank. It worked for about twenty years before sputtering to a cold, silent end.

The political memories are what matter today and this year. Looking back at so many presidents and congresses that could have done more and done better and they all failed in so many ways. That is what brings me to my latest version. This time my blog is the front page of What-ME. Yes, I write more than what you see here, not much these days though.

What did we learn from yesterday? I think we are seeing that the smaller clowns have started poking holes in the blustery armor of the big orange clown. It is funny that two men of Hispanic background are running in the Republican world and are stating they are as against Hispanic people as Trump.

At least it is Cruz, not Rubio. Rubio would have been the image up against HRC and she would have not come off well. HRC and Cruz on television, she will be sitting pretty (so to speak).

What is to come of America if one of the Republican clowns wins the presidency? That is the one question that causes me to lie awake at night. It is a scary scenario, one I am working to not have happen.

To Crestone, Baca and beyond

There's an old expression named Comfort Zone. It sounds cozy and safe, while in reality it's our cave of fears that we're used to living in. Let's be honest, we've adapted to it, we're in it. It's not a comfort zone. Please put some thought into this.

Let's look around us. We're here in the mountains, living in awe of the beauty around us, every day being grateful to be here. It's a tad dry, but still gorgeous, and we're in touch with it. People are great, too. Visitors are kind and thankful. We're so perfect on the outside.

It used to be lush here, we hear. It was busy with airplanes, money, sageness. And then it dried up. Ever wonder why?

In the past couple of years we had 3 (maybe more) major drug houses disappear from the Baca. But they were there, for years. Some burned down in Moffat. Crestone is now famous not only for the enlightening retreats, but also for a missing young woman, who was raped repeatedly and accidently killed; it's famous for Love has Won; it's famous for its drug use (you just won't find it on the white internet). We have a drug cartel in the Valley. We have people struggling with mental health, right here in our community, committing suicide, or otherwise suffering. There are random people spilling in from nearby places, driving around asking our women for blowjobs. There's never-ending theft. We have youth who seem to be unnoticed, being creative on their own, finding their roles in the world, while we have no youth center in sight, providing just the sidewalks to ride bikes on and to skateboard. The liquor store is a busy, busy hub. Police is a joke. We're in poverty. There are things happening you will never believe me if I told you.

Crestone won't be riding on the Spiritual Center train for long. Look for yourself.

And you know what can change all of that? Art, music and literature.

Anyone exposed to mindful art and music and literature for just a few minutes each day will have their lives changed. It's a fact. We need to understand this.

There are musicians in town sharing their music, their love and their time with all of us. Professional and amateur musicians providing music, entertainment and education. And they're running into political obstacles and neighborly complaints. Everyone needs to be aware of this.

I am not asking you to get out of your Comfort Zone today and act on the urge to better our town. But I am asking you to start thinking differently. That alone with bring all the lushness and riches back to us. There is a way to live like we belong in this ocean, with ease and grace, without the fear of losing something, or everything.

Hello World!

Every blog has to start somewhere and so today I thought it was apt to start this journey on a day where I am celebrating the birth of my only son. Birthdays bring memories and my memories are all caught up with family and this birthday marked the true beginning of my journey into family history research.

baby-scan-17-jan-1995(Baby Scan – 17th Jan 1995)

On a day much hotter than today 21 years ago, my boy entered this world looking like he had been on holiday somewhere hot as he had pinched all my iron and had a golden tan already. He was perfection and a ray of light at a time that was one of the darkest periods in my life. When he was born I was already separated from his dad and divorce followed not long after his birth. It was a difficult time. He had an older sister and we were now on our own and I wasn’t sure I could do this parenting thing on my own. Twenty-one years is perfect hindsight because I now see that I could but back then in the moment, my world was a very scary place to be.

As the divorce approached, my overriding feeling was that I knew next to nothing about my ex’s family beyond the details of his own immediate family. My boy’s father moved back south nearer to his family upon our divorce and I had a sense that we were going to have very little contact from him from thereon in.  One day, my children would ask me questions about their father and would have a natural curiosity about where they came from and their family history. I could tell them so much about my side – family has always been important to me and I had been raised with stories about my parents and grandparents and was proud of that heritage and felt a great sadness that I couldn’t share the same with them about their father’s story. I felt like they couldn’t be whole without this information – everybody needs to know their roots, right? It’s part of a person’s identity and helps us to understand ourselves a little better. I needed to address this – I felt it was the most important thing I could do for my children at that time. Never had anything struck me so powerfully as this desire to find out and discover – not for my sake but for my children. My mother was the family historian before me – they say there’s at least one in every family and mine has it’s lion’s share of them. I used to go with my mother on research trips to the library when I was younger and watch her crank the handle on the microfilm readers endlessly to find a small detail in our family tree and remember her thrill and excitement when she was successful in finding the desired piece of information. She would speak of it as being like having a “bug”. It was infectious  and once you had the “bug” it would make you return again and again to find out more and more. I never got it back then but I do now! I absolutely understand it now and I definitely have the “bug”!

With a powerful desire to know my children’s family history, I approached the only member of my ex-husband’s family I still had any contact with and felt comfortable enough to talk to – my children’s Grandfather. We were only in contact through post and so I wrote him a letter telling him about what I wanted to do and asking if he could help me by telling me what he knew to begin with. I even made up a basic family questionnaire asking him about the vital details of his family such as dates of birth, death and marriage and I sent it not really knowing if I would even get a response but I was hopeful! He did respond and I remember my emotions as I opened his letter. He was sketchy and apologetic for being so . He knew very little himself and gave me some dates or approximations of dates and told me what little he knew.  He had never known his biological father himself and so knew nothing of his father except a name and year of birth but was able to tell me a little bit more of his mother’s family but nothing beyond that. He was encouraging about my endeavour hoping I could find out more but felt disappointed that he hadn’t been able to help me. I still have that letter in my possession and I treasure it! That letter was a key and opened up a doorway into a world of discovery for me. I don’t think he even now realises how important the little detail he shared with me was. I couldn’t possibly have hoped to find anything out without it. I am thankful every day to him for his kindness in sharing what he knew and I hope that someday my children understand and appreciate him for it too! I wept tears of joy that day because I now had a possibility of discovering something that was lost to me and so today on my son’s 21st birthday, I say talk to your family – get the information before they are gone and it is too late! Record the smaller seemingly insignificant details of your life and your family’s lives – you have a family historian in your family waiting to discover them. Every detail is important – every detail is a clue and you cannot begin to comprehend the colourful, rich, inspirational story that can come from the smallest detail! Twenty-one years down the line and I am still making discoveries and I now have a “bug” from which there is no cure and no cure is desired!

Y6 - Wow What a Year! - Leavers Production

Where to start? Home-schooling, empty supermarket shelves, social-distancing, bubbles, tiers, facemasks, not being able to hug our grandparents…these have been extraordinary and challenging times!

But through it all, heroes have emerged and with a strength of spirit, hope in our hearts and a sense of humour, we are coming out the other side. So, what better way to commemorate our place in history than with a bloomin’ good sing!

Investment management in the UK is a £7 trillion industry, one of the largest in the world.

Shifts in buyer behavior, increased regulation, and emerging technologies call for new, more agile operating models. Today, investment management firms turn to developments in technology to introduce efficiency, cost effectiveness and compliance in to their processes.

The Company

Capula Investment Management LLP is a global fixed income specialist firm located in London with affiliated entities in Greenwich, CT; Hong Kong; Jersey and Tokyo. The firm manages absolute return, enhanced fixed income and tail risk strategies.

Established in 2005, Capula Investment Management LLP focuses on developing innovative investment strategies that exhibit low correlation to traditional equity and fixed income markets.

The Opportunity

Capula Investment Management is a multi-billion dollar hedge fund which used computer systems to find profitable patterns within financial data and execute buy and sell orders. Their existing system did not support complex trading patterns such as short sell orders, LIMIT and TWAP, and was unable to allow cancellations, fills or terminations.

As their entire business revolved around their ability to execute these complex trades, there was an immediate need for a centralised order execution and monitoring system for their team.

Get in touch with our experts

The Solution

WHISHWORKS proposed a unified, order routing system and dashboard to improve and enhance order flow for the business, as well a unified mechanism for implementing a SWIFT communication system.

Due to the requirements of different brokers, the FIX protocol could be used to enable communication, with XML based message transformation being used to link the protocol to a new .net based solution.

Depending upon individual broker requirements, the FIX data dictionary is customised with user-defined fields to various messaging formats. A new EXT.NET based dashboard would be installed to provide oversight of orders including a complete messaging sequence for relevant trading values.

The Result

The new build and integration of Capula’s trade order systems enable cost savings, integration with different brokers, centralised monitoring and lower risk for Capula. It saved time as well as money when Capula needed to integrate and maintain connections with new brokers, and allowed a full range of trading orders to be executed and monitored for their clients. The improved visibility improved the effectiveness of their risk analysis team, and their usage of uniform integration standards provided significant cost reductions for the business.

The footy thermometer: Barcelona 2-0 Manchester United

Who’s hot, who’s not
Xavi and Iniesta The best midfield partnership on the planet. And the greatest of these is Iniesta (last night anyway).
Pep Guardiola Won the treble in his first season. If Carlsberg did a football team, it would be Barcelona.
Carles Puyol Was written off, but played a blinder. Shame about his play-acting though.
Alex Ferguson Got his tactics wrong. Chelsea showed how to play against Barca (i.e don’t), but United went gung-ho and paid the price.
Ryan Giggs Sadly past his best. Shouldn’t have started last night, and wouldn’t have but for Darren Fletcher’s suspension.
Nemanja Vidic A rare horror show, reminiscent of his display against Liverpool at Old Trafford. Flat-track bully anyone?

    “Puyol needs no invitation to hit the deck as Ronaldo challenges him in the air. That is an equal contest; girl on girl.”

Hoffmann, R. A wiki for the life sciences where authorship matters. Nature Genetics (2008)

Immunohistochemical characteristics of disease-associated PrP are not altered by host genotype or route of inoculation following infection of sheep with bovine spongiform encephalopathy.

It has previously been reported that disease-associated prion protein (PrP(d)) derived from natural scrapie and from sheep infected experimentally with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) differed in respect of their immunohistochemical and immunoblotting properties. For BSE, however, these initial observations were restricted to orally challenged sheep of the ARQ/ARQ PrP genotype. Here, extended examinations were performed on 28 sheep that developed neurological signs after BSE experimental infection by one of three routes. Intracerebrally infected ARQ/ARQ sheep showed more widespread and abundant accumulations of PrP(d) in tissues of the lymphoreticular system (LRS) than VRQ/VRQ animals, whereas no peripheral PrP(d) was detected in ARR/ARR sheep. The intensity and dissemination of PrP(d) accumulation in LRS tissues were less than those found previously in orally dosed sheep. AHQ/AHQ sheep challenged orally and ARQ/AHQ and ARQ/ARQ animals infected intravenously showed similar LRS-tissue PrP(d) distributions and levels to those of ARQ/ARQ sheep infected intracerebrally. The patterns of intra- and extracellular immunoreactivity to different PrP antibodies in brain and LRS tissues and the immunoblotting characteristics of PrP(res) from brain samples remained constant, irrespective of the route of inoculation and the PrP genotype, and were the same as described previously for ARQ/ARQ sheep dosed orally with BSE. These results suggest that the intracellular truncation of BSE PrP(d) and the proteinase K cleavage site of BSE PrP(res) are not altered by PrP genotype or by route of inoculation and that, therefore, screening tests based on these properties can be applied to identify potential sheep BSE cases occurring naturally.[1]

Customer Relationship Management

Do your sales and marketing efforts feel a bit, well, flimsy? Are you concerned that prospects and sales opportunities are falling through the cracks? Or maybe you’re stressed trying to manage all the ins and outs of your customer relationships. Then you, my friend, need a CRM.

“CRM is the fastest growing software market today. It was a $14 billion industry in 2010 and is expected to reach $80 billion by 2025.”

Here are five reasons why a CRM may be the best investment your business ever makes:

1. A CRM makes it easy to follow the customer journey

Customer JourneyA CRM delineates a clear course of action for you as you navigate the customer journey, from separating warm leads from cool leads to lead nurturing to streamlining your sales. It takes the guesswork out of where customers are at in the sales cycle and helps you provide them with value each step of the way. It assures that no prospects fall through the cracks and helps you identify when there is an opportunity for cross-selling or upselling so you can strike while the iron is hot. A CRM does the heavy lifting for you and keeps prospects and customers both impressed and engaged with your brand.

2. A CRM helps keep you organized

marketing automationFew things tank productivity like a lack of organization. With CRM software, you can create workflows, automate email sequences, automate and assign tasks, keep track of customer interactions and keep leaning into the customer-service side of your business.

3. A CRM helps you keep customer information organized

Good-bye paper files and sticky notes or haphazardly emailing client information back and forth. A CRM system offers cloud-based data storage which means any member of your team can access any client information at all times in one spot. This means your customers get consistent information from your team regardless of who they speak with and it lends itself to expedient communication – a big customer-service win!

What’s more? Digitized customer files are much more secure than their paper predecessors and the risk of losing key information is greatly reduced.

4. A CRM fosters team collaboration

Team CollaborationA common CRM interface facilitates team collaboration. Each team member can update client information in real time which makes accuracy, accessibility and collaboration as seamless as possible. A CRM also helps you avoid data siloing for a truly integrated approach. Teams that operate with a CRM are more productive and work more efficiently.

5. A CRM allows you to generate detailed reports

Capturing and leveraging key metrics is imperative to the success of any business. A CRM allows you to run reports that provide detailed insight into your sales, marketing and service processes. Want to know how many people purchased products from a specific area? Curious about which leads are hot, which are warm and which ones are cold and dead? Yep, you can configure your CRM reporting dashboard to give you this information. You don’t have to spend precious time manually compiling your data from various sources to determine if you’re hitting your sales goals and you don’t have to speculate on your team’s productivity. Know exactly where you’re at with your processes and your pipeline at any time.

Do you want help implementing a CRM for your business? We’d love to help! Wild Fig Marketing is your digital marketing agency! Whether you’re looking for marketing help in the form of website design, sales or process automation, content marketing, email marketing or lead generation, we have the knowledge and experience to help you rock your brand.

This game will be available 10/29/2020

Dear friends! You have witnessed an historical event! A genius scientist has invented a gateway capable of splitting the space-time continuum and opening a passage to parallel universes. But, to collective terror, the gateway turned out to be a passageway to the netherworld. Hordes of evil creatures, as if awaiting for this moment, have encroached on our existence!

And what a biting irony, for all this to occur during Halloween celebrations - when, as it is believed, the boundaries between our world and the world of spirits grow thinner and aliens can appear among us. This is actually what happened: the monsters broke out to the streets to easy-going and unaware people who were celebrating the holiday.

In its restless drive to achievements, humans always forget about their security. All too often, mindless human activity is a hazard to the world and places it on the verge of survival.

People, pause for an instant and just think who will sort all this out after you?
Anyway, together with you we know who will do this. Of course, it is our Terrific Helper Robot!

Stay with us and learn what will happen next.
  • Magnificent nonogram puzzles, based on logic
  • Mini-puzzles and hidden objects scenes
  • A lot of tile skins to choose from
  • A variety of upgradeable power-ups that will help you during the game

Are adults too old for Invisalign treatment?

Share This Page

Are adults too old for Invisalign treatment?

Orthodontic treatment is typically associated with children and teens, but anyone with healthy teeth and gums can have their teeth straightened. Our Langley dentists explain why Invisalign is an ideal way for adults to straighten their smile.

Traditionally it was unusual for adults to be spotted wearing braces. Now, thanks in part to Invisalign's clear orthodontic aligners, more adults are choosing to correct alignment issues that were left untreated in childhood.

In the past, many adults would have felt self-conscious about straightening their teeth with traditional metal braces and wires. Braces just aren't compatible with the professional appearance that many adults want to maintain in their personal lives or in the workplace.

Invisalign lets adults get on with their busy schedules without worrying about what others might think of their orthodontic treatment.

Invisalign aligners are made from very thin clear plastic that is hardly noticeable to other people.

Every clear aligner in the treatment series is custom made for patient's unique smile, and is created to gradually guide the teeth into the desired positions.

Invisalign's aligners are also removable. Adults won't need to worry about what to eat while out at business lunches or on dinner dates. Discreetly remove the aligners and store them in their handy container while you enjoy your meal. Once the meal is over just step away to brush and floss your teeth, rinse the aligners, and pop them back onto your teeth. No need to miss out on special foods or to change your diet!

Want to learn more about how Invisalign treatment could straighten your smile? Contact your Langley dentist at Willowbrook Dental Clinic to book a consultation today.

Contact Willowbrook Dental Clinic today, and get on the path to a brighter, healthier smile!

Wind farm construction set for 2012

DANVILLE – The winds of changing have things moving quickly in the establishment of wind farms in Vermilion County.

Last year marked the initiation of the first wind turbine project in the county. The permit for Invenergy Wind LLC was approved by the Vermilion County Board in July and the company began preliminary work for the project in November.

Vermilion County received a check on June 10 for $104,000 as an application fee from Invenergy to construct 104 wind turbines as part of the company’s California Ridge Wind Energy Project. Another 30 will be built in Champaign County.

Now, just a month after preliminary work began on the first wind farm, the permit process is expected to begin for the county’s second wind farm.

Vermilion County Board Chairman Jim McMahon confirmed GDF SUEZ Energy North America Inc. will begin the permit process in January for its project in northern Vermilion County.

He said the company will be in discussions next month and the project permit application will go before the county board’s structural safety committee first.

McMahon said it could move to the full county board for approval as early as February.

The company based in Houston, Texas, is coordinating a Hoopeston project first coordinated by the company International Power. The project calls for the construction of 43 wind turbines along a stretch reaching from around 3 miles east of Illinois Route 49 to the area near the Hubbard Trail Country Club north of Rossville.

This is a second attempt for the company, which canceled its first permit process in April just days before the structural safety committee was scheduled to meet.

McMahon said he believes the company is moving now to go through the permit process to avoid facing higher permit costs. Currently, GDF SUEZ Energy North America Inc. has paid a permit fee of $47,000, but would be eligible later next year for higher permit fees passed by the county this fall.

“It’s to their advantage to get it done and over with,” McMahon said.

If passed, it will be the second project in northern Vermilion County. Invenergy’s California Ridge wind project starts along County Road 2150N just north of Newtown in Pilot Township and stretches north and west to just across the line into Compromise and Ogden townships in Champaign County.

According to the company, work includes access road and turbine foundation work. Construction of a collection system, which interconnects the individual wind turbines, is expected to begin in January. Invenergy said the first turbines are expected to be delivered in May, with commercial operations currently slated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2012.

McMahon said the county still has open dialogue with Horizon – which is coordinating the Broadlands wind farm that will cover the area where Vermilion, Douglas, Edgar and Champaign counties meet.
