Michael roared toward the Florida panhandle as a Category 4 hurricane Wednesday, with long-range forecasts predicting its remnants could dump heavy rains on Nova Scotia if it passes south of the province as expected.

The brutish storm has grown swiftly into what could be one of the panhandle's worst hurricanes in memory, with destructive winds, up to 30 centimetres of rain and a storm surge of up to four metres.

According to Environment Canada, the potent weather system is expected to weaken into a tropical storm after making landfall in Florida and is forecast to track south of Nova Scotia on Friday.

The forecaster's long-range models are calling for the possibility of heavy rainfall in parts of Nova Scotia, depending on how close the system comes to the province.

At midday, the hurricane was closing in on the Florida panhandle with potentially catastrophic winds of 233 kilometres per hour, making it the most powerful storm on record to menace the stretch of fishing towns, military bases and spring-break beaches.

"I really fear for what things are going to look like there tomorrow at this time," Colorado State University hurricane expert Phil Klotzbach said in an email.

The storm quickly sprang from a weekend tropical depression, reaching Category 4 early Wednesday as it drew energy from the Gulf of Mexico's warm waters. That was up from a Category 2 Tuesday afternoon.

"The time to evacuate has come and gone ... SEEK REFUGE IMMEDIATELY," Florida Gov. Rick Scott tweeted, while the sheriff in Panama City's Bay County issued a shelter-in-place order before dawn.

Rainfall could reach up to 30 centimetres and the storm surge could swell to four metres.

The storm appeared to be so powerful -- with a central pressure dropping to 933 millibars -- that it is expected to remain a hurricane as it moves over Georgia early Thursday. Forecasters said it will unleash damaging winds and rain all the way into the Carolinas, which are still recovering from hurricane Florence's epic flooding.

"We are in new territory," National Hurricane Center meteorologist Dennis Feltgen wrote on Facebook.

"The historical record, going back to 1851, finds no Category 4 hurricane ever hitting the Florida panhandle."

Several hours ahead of landfall, seawater was already lapping over the docks at Massalina Bayou near downtown Panama City, and knee-deep water was rising against buildings in St. Marks, which sits on an inlet south of Tallahassee.

Huge waves pounded the white sands of Panama City Beach, shooting frothy water all the way to the base of wooden stairs that lead to the beach.

More than 5,000 evacuees sought shelter in the capital city, which is about 40 kilometres from the coast, but is covered by live oak and pine trees that can fall and cause power outages even in smaller storms.

Only a skeleton staff remained at Tyndall Air Force Base, situated on a peninsula just south of Panama City.

Meteorologists watched in real time as a new government satellite showed the hurricane's eye tightening, surrounded by lightning that lit it up "like a Christmas tree."

Marshall Shepherd, a former president of the American Meteorological Society, called it a "life-altering event," writing on Facebook that he watched the storm's growth on satellite images with a pit in his stomach.

As Drake’s new mansion takes shape, CTV Toronto’s cameras captured the colossal 35,000 square-foot mansion under construction.

The rap superstar purchased two acres of land in the city’s exclusive Bridle Path neighbourhood three years ago, for a whopping $6.7 million. He tore down the existing bungalow on the property in order to make way for his ambitious custom-built home.

Designed by Ontario-based luxury home designer and builder Ferris Rafauli, Drake’s imposing home includes an elevator, a 10-car garage, four guest bedrooms, an awards room to display his many trophies, a piano room, screening room, a gym, an NBA regulation-size basketball court, and a jersey room to house his basketball memorabilia, of course.

Oh, and CTV Toronto’s Andria Case reports that the master bedroom will be 941 square-feet, larger than some people’s entire homes.

This project is not the first time Drake has worked with Rafauli, who also designed the rapper’s Sher Club – named after Drake’s grandparents – at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Membership at the swanky club costs $7,000 and is by invitation only.

Rafauli designs interiors and furniture as well, which means Drake may only need to bring his toothbrush with him when he’s ready to move in – when that will be; however, remains to be seen.

Interested in Converting?

Converting your credit union charter can be daunting and without the right guidance can become cumbersome. The CUCollaborate team is dedicated to helping you expand your field of membership to the largest extent possible. We will walk you through the process of converting your charter as well as outline the benefits of the options available to you.

Contact Us Today!

Charter Conversion

Is Your Charter Type Still Working?

Credit unions must re-examine their big-picture needs from time to time, and that often leads to the question of whether you’re operating under the appropriate charter. It may have worked in the past, but will it take you where you want to go? Community charter or multiple common bond? State or federal? Given the changes in your business, the economy and regulations, it’s a good idea to look into all of these questions occasionally.

State Charter to Federal Charter

Making the Switch

It’s a big investment of time and money to convert. When a state-chartered credit union converts to a federal charter, they are treated the same as any application for a federal charter. The NCUA will perform an on-site examination as appropriate and consult with the state regulator regarding the credit unions financial condition, management expertise and past performance.

When a state charter applies to convert, the credit union must:

  • File proof that it in compliance with state laws through the application process as well as the NCUA
  • Submit the require conversion application, proposed federal credit union organization certificate, and other documents with NCUA
  • Comply with the Federal Credit Union Act regarding chartering and reserve requirement.
  • Be granted insurance through the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund

    You can download our helpful state to federal conversion checklist to help you convert from a state-chartered credit union to a federal charter credit union.

Federal Charter to State Charter

A Localized Approach

Even though the NCUA recently opened up some of its field of membership options, some credit unions may still find a state charter better suited to their strategy and needs. In addition, some state credit union field of membership regulations include a parity clause that allows credit unions chartered in that state to follow the federal FOM regulations if they provide greater authority than the state regulation.

In the first quarter of 2019, two federal credit unions converted to state charters with total assets of nearly $1.3 billion, while one credit union converted to a federal charter, totaling $149 million in assets. Late last year, CUCollaborate covered Merrimack Valley Credit Union’s conversion to a state charter and why it made sense for their future.

When a federal charter applies to convert, the credit union needs to submit the following:

  • A current financial report
  • A current delinquent loan schedule
  • An explanation and appropriate documents relative to change in insurance
  • A resolution of the board of directors; a proposed Notice of Special Meeting of the Members (NCUA 4221)
  • A copy of the ballot to be sent to all members (NCUA 4506)
  • Evidence that the state regulator is in agreement with the conversion proposal
  • A statement of reasons supporting the request to convert

Learn more about converting from a federal charter to a state charter. We will outline it step by step for you!

For Those That Want To Expand

A federal credit union may be chartered to serve a combination of distinct, definable single occupational and/or associational common bonds. This type of credit union is called a multiple common bond credit union. Each group in the field of membership must have its own occupational or associational common bond. For example, a multiple common bond credit union may include two unrelated employers, or two unrelated associations, or a combination of two or more employers or associations. Additionally, these groups must be within reasonable geographic proximity of the credit union. You will want to research the benefits of converting to a multiple common bond.

A credit union wishing to convert to a federal multiple common bond from a community charter will need the following"

  • A cover letter to Martha Ninichuck
  • A board resolution approving the request
  • The appropriate version of form 4015
  • Documentation for adding an underserved area
    You can download our helpful conversion checklist to help you convert from a federal community charter credit union to a federal multiple common bond charter credit union.

Dale Farm

Dale Farm, a farmer owned co-operative, say “our farmers don’t just milk the cows, they own the company”. From seeds that grow the best grass to best practice on milk production, Dale Farm manage their full product cycle in-house.

Cullen manufacture shelf-ready packaging for Dale Farm who supply dairy products into Britain’s largest supermarkets.

“We get a personal level of service from Cullen. Together, we were able to look at our packaging and make use of creative designs that generated a cost saving”.

Group Procurement Category Manager

“For ALDI, Cullen suggested moving from high quality print packaging to standard flexographic. Their designers came up with a more cost-effective packaging style that was cheaper but didn’t compromise on performance. That meant we could pass the cost saving on to ALDI”.

On a second project, Cullen suggested moving from a flat die cut box to multi-point glued case.

Dale Farm explained, “When we visited Cullen in Glasgow, we worked with them to redesign our packaging for LIDL. Pre-assembling boxes used more labour resource and physical space than was necessary. Cullen helped us introduce a multi-point glued case that unfolds into its shape. It saved us time and money that we were able to pass on to Lidl too”.

Debbie Douglas, Sales Manager for Cullen, said “If Dale Farm present us with a challenge, we know we need to find a solution that benefits everyone. Working together to solve a common problem allows all three parties to benefit”.

Dale Farm summarised their experience with Cullen as “outstanding”. They said, “Cullen are our ideal supplier. Scheduling of orders is always perfect, we never have any issues with delivery times and the turnaround time is excellent. We would absolutely recommend Cullen to someone else”.

The 1990s were not good times for the Japanese economy, so much so that it is referred to as “The Lost Decade” in retrospect. How this translated to Japan’s auto industry was that cars developed during this period were by and large less sophisticated in their design and engineering, making use of either existing or cheaper components to keep costs down, and featuring blander styling in order to broaden their appeal. As the smallest of Japan’s Big Three automakers, these effects were felt harder by none other than Nissan, and glaringly evident in cars such as this 1999 Altima.

first gen altima 2

The original Altima debuted in 1992 as a 1993 model, replacing the aging Stanza as Nissan’s sub-Maxima sedan. Throwing away the Stanza’s very angular, economy-car styling for elegant, graceful curves, the first generation Altima in many ways looked like a junior Infiniti J30; an understandable observation as both vehicles were designed at Nissan’s California design studio under Doug Wilson.

first gen altima

The first generation (1993-1997) Altima was a successful model in its own right, selling some 700,000 units over its five-year production and becoming Nissan’s best-selling car. Introduced amidst a very rocky period which Nissan was suffering record losses in the billions, the Altima was a key vehicle in restoring the automaker to profitability by 1997.

The original Altima drew praise for its high level of fit-and-finish and many available options including head-up display. Yet compared to its main rivals, the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, the Nissan Altima was an also-ran. Noticeably smaller in size and lacking an available V6 engine, the “premium” Altima was further hindered by the fact that it was priced right in line with these chief rivals. As a result, sales were significantly less by as much as several hundred thousand units annually.

Within Nissan’s lineup, the Altima’s size and price disparity was not unique. Unlike Honda and Toyota, which featured somewhat more clearly-defined compact (Civic-Corolla) and mid-sized sedans (Accord-Camry), Nissan was in an a more unusual predicament. While its “mid-sized” Altima was placed squarely between the Civic-Corolla and Accord-Camry in size, it was priced like the larger duo.

1995 Maxima

Meanwhile, the Maxima, which was sized almost exactly like the Accord and Camry, was priced higher due to its somewhat more premium aspirations, something confused even further by the introduction of the rebadged Infiniti I30 in 1995. Only the smaller fourth generation Sentra that was released for 1995 was directly in line with the Civic and Corolla in terms of size and price.

1998 Altima gold

Despite the Altima’s shortcomings, ongoing financial troubles gave the Nissan no choice but to proceed with a conservative update of the original, as opposed to the from-scratch redesign that the Altima really needed in order to succeed, an update it would have to wait for until its third generation.

Sharing the original’s basic shape, sheetmetal was in fact all new, though in most opinions not for the better. Trading the previous generation’s sensual curves for a slightly more upright styling, the second generation Altima double downed on dull looks for the ultimate appliance appearance. Quite honestly, the 1998 Altima could very take the prize as the most forgettable design of the 1990s.

Underneath, the Altima rode on an unchanged 103.1-inch wheelbase. In light of this, engineers stiffened the platform by some 20-percent, allowing for a wider track. Although width was up by 2 inches and overall length by 3, both passenger and cargo volumes were unchanged at 94 cubic feet and 14 cubic feet, respectably. Predictably, these measurements, as well as hip-, leg- and shoulder-room were all less than that of the Accord and Camry, both of which had grown further in size for the 1998 and 1997 model years, respectively.

2000 Altima 2

Powertrain was unchanged from before, in the form of a 2.4L inline-4 mated to either a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual. With dual overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, this engine made 150 horsepower (155 for 2000-2001) and 154 lb-ft torque, and was capable of getting the stick-shift Altima from zero to sixty in about 8.5 seconds.

Suspension was also largely unchanged from the previous generation Altima. As with its predecessor, 1998 Altimas featured a four-wheel independent suspension with front and rear anti-roll bars, power rack-and-pinion steering, and standard front disc/rear drum brakes. Four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes were available.

Like the exterior, the second generation Altima’s interior could best be described as dumbed down. Forgoing its predecessor’s elegant, Infiniti looks for a more economy car appearance, the new Altima’s interior was a mishmash of shapes and angles (much like the exterior) and plastics that were noticeably cheaper looking.

As with before, Nissan continued putting faux woodgrain trim in even the base XE trim, something competitors typically reserved for only their highest trim levels. Although now instead of a tasteful horizontal strip spanning the whole width of the dash, woodgrain was considerably tackier in the form of a single piece of molded plastic surrounding the center stack.

1998 Altima GLE

On the plus side, the 1998 Altima represented a higher value than its predecessor, with base prices for most trims starting at around $1,000 less than 1997. A top-of-the-line Altima GLE with plush leather seats and door panels, 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat, remote keyless entry, and CD player was priced under $20,000.

Contemporary reviews were mixed. The more positive ones complemented the car’s quietness, nimble handling, and its peppy four-cylinder engine. They also applauded overall value and evolutionary approach when it came to retaining the previous Altima’s appealing virtues that made it a hit with buyers.

1998 Altima black

Alternatively, the more negative ones predictably called out the Altima along these same lines for its failure to offer anything new or noteworthy over the outgoing generation. Criticism was also dealt to the Altima for its lackluster exterior styling and retrograde interior.

In the end, “mixed” is just what the second generation Nissan Altima was. It was a car that retained many of its predecessor’s positive qualities, yet one that failed to build or improve upon any of its glaring shortcomings. Trading the first generation Altima’s elegant design for ultra-anonymous style inside and out, the second generation Altima got lost in an ever-growing sea of competition.

2000 Altima 1

Sales held on at steady levels, right around the previous generation’s average of 150,000 units annually, a respectable number, but one less impressive considering the Accord and Camry each were selling over 375,000 units annually during this period. It should also be noted that Nissan was selling almost as many of the larger and more expensive Maxima during these years as the Altima.

altima g3

Lasting only four years, the second generation Altima’s failure to improve and impress was not in vain, as thanks to steadier cash flow, Nissan would role out a much more competitive third generation Altima for the 2002 model year. Built on an entirely-new platform, the 2002 Altima was a major visual improvement inside and out, offering clean and contemporary styling, while exhibiting a greater degree of athleticism both in appearance and performance.

2002 altima

More importantly, the third generation Altima finally boasted truly mid-sized dimensions and an available V6 that was among the most powerful in its class. Now truly competitive for the first time in its history, Altima sales immediately shot up, and have remained at high levels ever since. In fact, at 333,398 units, the Altima was the third-best selling midsize sedan in America in 2015, behind only the Accord and Camry. As for this second generation Altima, numerous examples still can be seen still on the roads, if one should care to actually take notice of its extremely anonymous appearance.

Lovebird Health Problems You Should Know

Bird Names 06/09/2019

Naturally lovebirds are aggressive birds. Pair issue and territory are the two most important things for this bird. It is not uncommon if found lovebird fight or peck each other. The most practical way to prevent these fights is to separate the lovebirds who fought each other in a different cage.

lovebird-health-problems-you-should-knowWith a sharp beak, it is very easy for lovebird to injure his opponent. And of course the marks of the pecks would cause injury. In some cases, the wound may grow into a serious problem, which is an infection and eventually it will kill lovebirds. Naked wound will attract many bacteria and viruses. This is dangerous for other lovebirds.

If found lovebird that is injured, immediately separated that lovebird in a separate cage. The best way to heal the wound is with red medicine and wound compress medicine. If you have time, consult this wound matter with your veterinarian.

Lovebird is one of the birds that are often targeted by predatory animals, like cats, rats and snakes. Make sure the lovebird’s cage is quite safe from attack of these animals. Make sure the cage is made of the iron that is not easily damaged by the teeth of predators and make sure the cage is always closed.

Lovebirds are omnivorous birds. He is interested in trying to eat anything that is around when it considered as a food. Not all fruits are healthy to lovebirds. Apple seeds, coffee and some other foods have been proven toxic to lovebirds.

In addition, foreign objects that is also ingested by lovebird can also cause problems. Usually a small plastic, stones, pieces of rubber bands, also the pieces of wood. So, always keep your lovebird’s cage clean from these objects. Note also the food containers and toys which are provided for lovebirds, make sure these objects are not torn apart by lovebirds pecks.

lovebird-health-problems-you-should-knowLovebirds are birds that are strong enough, both physically and psychologically. However, this does not mean that birds can not stess. Environment that is too noisy, heat, odors, up to constant loneliness can cause the bird stress. As a result, predictably this bird will get sick and then die.

There is a unique phenomenon on lovebirds, when suffering from excessive stress lovebird will start plucking its feathers untill it cut and bleeding. These injuries can turn into an infection that will eventually kill lovebird itself. This phenomenon often occurs in lovebird that is maintained without the presence of a partner or another lovebird. The only way to prevent this is to add a friend or spouse for the lovebird.

Brave New World Research Component
Written in 1932, the book is Aldous Huxley’s most famous novel. When it was published however, it was not received as well as it is now. Most reviewers were displeased or disgusted with Huxley’s book, including H. G. Wells. Wells who is often considered the father of science fiction said “A writer of the standing of Aldous Huxley has no right to betray the future as he did in that book.” Aldous Huxley’s inspiration to write “Brave New World” came from H. G. Wells book “Men Like Gods,” so Wells took “Brave New World” as a personal betrayal. Men Like Gods is a story of a group of Englishmen that accidentally time travel into a different dimension full of passionless Utopians. The Utopians tell the men of how they put “the primordial fierce combativeness of the ancestral ape-man” behind them and how when civilization was about to end, society was reordered until they achieved “no parliament, no politics, no private wealth, no business competition, no police nor prisons, no lunatics, no defectives nor cripples.” Men Like Gods has a motto, much like “Brave New World”, “Our education is our government.” Huxley thought that this book was absurd and said “Get rid of priests and kings, make Aeschylus and the differential calculus available to all, and the world will become paradise… [Men Like Gods] annoyed me to the point of planning a parody, but when I started writing I found the idea of a negative Utopia so interesting that I forgot about Wells and launched into “Brave New World”.”
Yevgeny Zamyatin, a Russian author wrote “We” which was published in 1924. “We” is a story set in the future about a technocratic One State society in which the citizens are “Numbers” controlled by the absolute authority of the government. Because Yevgeny Zamyatin’s and Aldous Huxley’s books were similar, critics suggested that Huxley was heavily influenced by it or had borrowed from it. George Orwell the author of 1984 wasn’t impressed with “Brave New...

Mark Cavendish’s unique guide to Milan-San Remo: ‘Easiest race to finish but hardest to win’

"It builds like an opera, faster and faster, more tense and more tense": 2009 winner Mark Cavendish guides you through Milan-San Remo

Mark Cavendish explained that Milan-San Remo may be ‘easy’ to finish, but that every one of the 291 kilometres in Saturday’s race are complicated.

Milan-San Remo winner in 2009, Cavendish talked to Cycling Weekly prior to the 2015 event to give his opinion on the race’s different phases, from Lombardia to Liguria, and to give you a unique insight into Italy’s classic.

“It’s the easiest race to finish, but the hardest to win,” Cavendish said.

Cavendish shot like a missile from the peloton to catch and pass Heinrich Haussler for his win. In the subsequent years, he has been unable to repeat that success for various reasons.

Followers may look at the final finishing straight, on San Remo’s high street, Via Roma, to review the race, but they should instead cast their eyes on the entire parcours.

Only looking at the road south from Milan and along the Ligurian coast, can you start to understand the mystery behind what Italians refer to as La Classica di Primavera.

The classic will roll as always from Castello Sforzesco on Saturday (March 17) morning and continue through the flat Po Valley that is famous for producing Italy’s rice. The only major bump on the race profile is the Turchino Pass, which takes the riders into Liguria and leaves another 160 kilometres to the possible sprint finish in San Remo.

“The first sprint comes through the first feed zone before the Turchino. We are not sprinting for position on the climb, but before the tunnel at the top and the descent,” Cavendish explained.

“I remember in 2010, I had a broken spoke at the bottom before the climb, I had to change my front wheel, fight for position and chase on Turchino to get back. In the tunnel, the lights were out and there was a crash, and I stopped dead with riders just hanging out in the tunnel!

“On the descent, it doesn’t really break up, not enough to split the race unless like that day, there’s a massive crash. If you are not in good position, you can lose energy. If you are behind, it’s enough to take your energy that you need for the final.”

The Turchino Pass opens up to the coast and generally better weather and stronger winds. After a rapid descent to Voltri near Genoa, the race turns right and travels west along the coast. The road rises three times over the Tre Capi – Mele, Cervo and Berta – and turns inland off the Via Aurelia twice for the climbs to the hilltop towns Cipressa and Poggio.

“It builds like an opera, faster and faster, more tense and more tense,” Cavendish continued. “Finally you hit the Capi, there’s going to be one or two guys that go, then a few more on Berta.”

The short Berta climb leaves only 10 kilometres to the foot of the 5.65-kilometre climb to Cipressa at 239 metres. The Poggio, shorter at 3.7 kilometres, but more intense, comes 10 kilometres later. After the tricky descent past the deteriorating greenhouses, only 2.3 kilometres remain to the finish line.

“There are a lot more attacks on the Cipressa. The big spectacle is on the Poggio, not most of the way up, but at the top, in the last K.”

>>> Milan-San Remo 2018: Preview and everything you need to know

The teams with attackers like Greg Van Avermaet (BMC Racing) and Michal Kwiatkowski (Team Sky) will try to wear down fast finishers like Alexander Kristoff (UAE Team Emirates), Elia Viviani (Quick-Step Floors) and Arnaud Démare (Groupama-FDJ) on the seaside, especially on the final two climbs, to avoid a sprint.

“There’s no secret to winning San Remo, you just have to get everything right for 300 kilometres,” said Cavendish. “I just break it down into chunks, it’s probably the easiest way to count down the kilometres.”

The forecast for 2018’s race is for wet weather but still better than 2013, when snow forced the organiser to bus the riders around the Turchino. Clear skies and low wind speeds could help keep the race together – but Cavendish says that rain plays little part in the race.

“Rain’s irrelevant, it’s the same for everybody who lines up. We all have to deal with it. It’s not like it’s raining only on one person and dry on the others,” said the sprinter from the Isle of Man.

In 2009 Mark Cavendish jumped clear of the bunch to catch Heinrich Haussler on the line.

Cavendish explained why he has not yet been able to repeat his 2009 success.

“It’s not easy to win San Remo, that’s the simplest answer,” he said.

“There’s a handful of guys probably with a chance of winning, but more than a handful who believe that they have a shot of winning, which is different to any other race.”

Cavendish has said that he will ride the 2018 race in support of his team after crashing out of Tirreno-Adriatico last week on the opening stage and fracturing a rib.

He said a few days before the start: “After crashing in Tirreno I’m obviously not in any sort of condition to win Milan-San Remo but having been able to train enough through the pain over the last few days I feel like I can go in support of my teammates.”

The US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) released the details of its guilty decision, which should see Armstrong officially stripped of his seven Tour de France wins.

“It’s pretty damning,” Wiggins told Sky News. “There’s a lot of it and I think the evidence is now overwhelming. In a way this brings an end to the investigation, which has been going on for quite a few years. Maybe now, as a sport, we can move forward. My main concern is now I’m standing here as the winner of the Tour de France having to now pick up the pieces for other people’s misdemeanours.”

The US agency found Armstrong doped through most of his career and stripped him of his results from 1998, including his seven Tour wins. After Armstrong refused a hearing – which the agency said “speaks volumes” – it announced its decision on August 24 and made the details public two days ago.

The Union Cycliste International (UCI) has 21 days, until October 31, to respond. It may accept or appeal the agency’s decision.

Wiggins said that he had not read the 202-page Reasoned Decision that the agency made public, but has seen the newspapers. The decision includes sworn testimony from 26 people, including 15 riders.

“It is certainly not a one-sided hatchet job, it is pretty damning. It is pretty jaw-dropping the amount of people who have testified against him. I am shocked at the scale of the evidence,” Wiggins said.

Wiggins joined Sky in 2010 and won the Tour with them this year. It came after years racing on the track with British Cycling, including three Olympic gold medals.

“I was very fortunate that I was in a system in British Cycling that, regardless of what team I was in, they supported me with the right way to deal with it. They probably saved me otherwise it might have been me, who knows. The peer pressure was huge.”

Sky cyclist Michael Barry testified against Armstrong and admitted he used drugs. “I used EPO and testosterone off and on from 2003 until 2006,” he said in his testimony. “I also used cortisone on one occasion in 2003 and experimented with hGH on one occasion in 2004. I obtained the doping products from the US Postal Service doctors and staff and from fellow athletes.”

Team manager David Brailsford told the Telegraph that he asked Barry if he had a doping past at the Giro d’Italia in 2010 and Barry responded there was no problem. “Clearly there was, and I’m disappointed that I asked him the question and he told me a lie. But we have no doubt that he was clean when he rode for us. I am not sure what more we could have done.”

Barry, after three years with Sky, retired on September 5.

Sky’s Michael Rogers trained under banned doctor Michele Ferrari. Levi Leipheimer said in his testimony that he saw the Australian, Yaroslav Popovych, Andrey Kashechkin and Alexander Vinokourov at a Ferrari training camp in Tenerife in May 2005. And that he saw him at Ferrari camp with Paolo Savoldelli, Popovych and Eddy Mazzoleni in St. Moritz in June 2005.

Rogers admitted in 2006 to working with Ferrari since 2005 but cut ties with him after that year’s Tour due to pressure from his T-Mobile team.

“I was very transparent. We came forward to the press and told them my position. Since then I have had absolutely no contact with Ferrari whatsoever,” Rogers told the Sydney Morning Herald overnight.

Asked if Ferrari suggested drug use, Rogers said, ”No … absolutely not. The agreement I had with him was very, very … We didn’t have much communication. I didn’t really get that much out of it. … It was an error to go to him. He didn’t have the best name in the industry, but that was the mistake I made … I certainly regret [it].”

Sky’s Sean Yates rode with Armstrong in team Motorola from 1992 to 1996 and helped direct the Discovery Channel team when Armstrong won the Tour in 2005.

He told BBC Radio he was shocked by “the depth of the whole system, as it’s been called. I worked with Lance but never had any inclination that this type of practice was going on. … I was with Lance in 2005, for his last Tour win. … I never ever saw an indication of anything dodgy going on. I used to jump out in the morning, get out on my bike, come back, drive the car, and call the tactics now and then, but I never saw anything that was untoward.”

New track coming to Piqua schools

By Sam Wildow -

NOTE: This is part two in a two-part series covering the Tuesday, Dec. 15, Piqua Board of Education meeting.

PIQUA —Runners in the Piqua school’s sports program will be running on new turf next year. During the Piqua Board of Education meeting Tuesday evening, the board approved a bid from FieldTurf/Beynon for a track renovation and replacement based upon the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) cooperative purchasing pricing.

“The track itself … (we’re) looking at a red track,” Superintendent Rick Hanes said. “The passing lanes will be blue … It blends well with our stadium.”

The turf itself will have a BSS 1000 Hobart texture.

“We did get a bid in for our traditional asphalts and decided not to recommend that,” Hanes said.

Hanes stated that their predecessors “built a track that lasted many, many decades.” According to board member Frank Patrizio, the current track was installed in the mid-1980s.

“Our goal is to recommend something that is lasting as long,” Hanes said.

“Will this bring us to the possiblity of hosting track tournaments?” board member Andy Hite asked. Hanes stated that it would.

The budget source for the project will be their Premier Marketing Contract and the district’s Permanent Improvement Fund. The installation of the track will cost $479,213.58 with an additional cost of $103,957.76 to have the Hobart coating applied to the track.

The district was not required to bid the track out due to the state of Ohio previously authorizing the school districts to purchase the track at the state bid price.

Also in the realm of the Piqua’s sports program, athletic director Chip Hare spoke to the board about a proposal to change Piqua Junior High School (PJHS) softball and baseball from a club level to GWOC.

“(There’s) no pay to play, it’s all volunteer by the coaches,” Hare said. “Trying to organize parents … It’s been a little bit of a challenge.”

Going to GWOC, it will put the PJHS softball and baseball programs in the same league as their other sports programs and make them a little more organized.

There was no action taken that night.

The board also heard a building project update, which is approaching its end.

“We are very close to being finished,” business coordinator Curt South said during their building project update. South stated that they are on schedule and on budget for the demolition for all five of the older buildings.

“All those buildings are down,” South said. They are leaving the temporary fence around the sites up for as long as possible in order to allow the grass time to take root and for the safety of pedestrians.

“There are some sidewalks and curbs that are being installed,” South said. “Moving along very well … All that work will be done for the end of December.”

The Springcreek parking lot is also finished and will be able to be used when the students and staff get back from Christmas break. There are still some parking stripe lines that need to be put on, and South stated that those will be put on as weather permits.

The old Bennet School site also could be seeing a new owner in the form of the city in coming months.

There was no official vote, but the board agreed to allow Hanes to begin discussions of a potential transfer of the old Bennett site to the city after gauging the city’s interest in it.

“I think there’s good interest,” Hanes said. According to Hanes, the property would be a long-term investment for the city.

“The city has been doing studies for many years on how to redevelop the river corridor,” Hanes said. “We need to start that groundwork.”

Sky's translation of Alfredo Morelos' recent interview with the channel has come under fire on social media after it was claimed to be an inaccurate translation.

The Rangers striker is said to have only a cursory grasp of English and spoke in detail about life in Glasgow using his mother tongue of Spanish.

But as footage was shared on social media platforms, Spanish speakers have questioned the correlation between Morelos' comments and the subtitles accompanying what was broadcast by Sky.

One journalist specialising South American football versed in the striker's native tongue took to Twitter to call it, "the worst translation I have ever seen in my life".

We asked a Daily Record colleague, Kathleen Speirs, who is fluent in Spanish to translate the interview and it produced some surprising results.

Celtic have subsequently released a statement calling for Sky to review their processes for interviews going forward and the broadcaster has pulled the interview from its platforms.

Below, you can read the questions posed to Morelos, the Sky translation, and followed by what the player actually said.

The young boy who kicked a ball about the streets of Cerete, what was that boy like?

What Sky said

"I started playing at five years old. My father took me to the pitches in my hometown.

"It start a process of almost 10 years. A time of formation that was very important for my career."

What Morelos really said

"Well, I played very well when I was younger.

"My footballing career started when I was five years old.

"My father took me to the football pitch where I played really well for 10 years."

Tell me about Cerete, could it be a dangerous place?

What Sky said

"Cerete is a poor town. There's little infrastructure or opportunities.

"Most people are working just to afford food, just to afford the basics.

"There was no electricity in my home. No air conditioning in a place that averages 40 degrees.

"Some people chose a different route where there was faster and easier money."

What Morelos really said

"Yes of course.

"Cerete is a very humble town.

"Lots of people don’t have the means to eat or send their children to school.

"There is a lot of poverty, to be honest.

"But I think there are a lot of positives to Cerete."

People in Britain know about your disciplinary record, but what was it like in Finland?

What Sky said

"In Finland I never had any disciplinary problems neither there nor in Colombia.

"Now that I have these problems I realise I have to keep working to find a way to solve them."

What Morelos really said

"In Finland, I never had any problems with cards, nor in Colombia.

"I don’t know if there are more situations where you would be given a card now."

What went wrong here?

What Sky said

"I am a very physical player. That's been a benefit to me over my career.

"I can withstand rough hits and hard tackles. I never fear any opponent."

What Morelos really said

Well ever since I've been at Rangers, I've noticed the the football has a feeling to it. You can feel the focus from the crowd every time you go out on the pitch."

Is that the boy from Cerete - 'if you hit me, I'm going to hit you back'?

What Sky said

"I never shied away from any fights ever since I was a kid.

"But off the pitch it's very different. On the pitch I try to show my passion.

"To make the defenders feel my presence to fight for the crowd.

What Morelos really said

"I've been in fights since I was at school and playing in the streets .I've never let myself be put down by anyone. I have a big personality, even more so in my work with football, which is very physical.

"But I'm someone who has a big personality and in my work and it can get physical."

Do you have any concern that your discipline problems would stop a move in the future?

What Sky said

"Yes I can see how it would affect a potential move but I also know that scoring goals can always open more doors."

What Morelos really said

"Perhaps, that could happen."

A lot has been made of the two gestures, one in the game against Motherwell and the other against Celtic. Can you explain why those were made?

What Sky said

"First, I'll talk about the match against Motherwell. We were winning a very important match.

"I scored a very important goal and I celebrated. I didn't mean to offend anyone.

"If you look back I have done this celebration at home and away matches. In the match against Celtic we were winning in added time.

"I fell down. Whether that is simulation or not is up to the referee.

"Afterwards it was very frustrating to hear the crowd screaming at me. They were saying offensive and racist words.

"I wasn't trying to instigate or incite anything. I just wanted them to stop.

"It was sort of a symbol that says, 'Come on guys the game is over! This doesn't need to continue! I understand that you criticise me but now it's over!'"

What Morelos really said

"First I'm going to talk about the situation against Motherwell.

"We were winning an important game.

"And I celebrated as I always do in Ibrox, with my fans and the Rangers people.

"The gesture I made wasn't meant to offend them.

"I have always celebrated like that. But yes, it wasn't a gesture to offend anyone.

"And then against Celtic, we were winning 2-0.

"I don't know if I fell or whatever but I wasn't trying to win a penalty.

"The referee decided to send me off. That's fine, that's his decision.

"But the gesture I made wasn't racist."

How often do you experience racist abuse from a crowd?

What Sky said

"Yes, I've often felt racism on and off the pitch. It's very sad.

"But it's not something that affects me much. I just try to focus on my job which is scoring goals and winning matches.

"Sometimes it's frustrating when a crowd is throwing coins at me or throwing drinks at me.

"Obviously saying racist things or making chants about my mother.

"That's obviously very offensive.

"Those things affect my family and are frustrating. But I am a strong person.

What Morelos really said

"Yes I feel that they have been a lot of racist gestures towards me.

"Including with Aberdeen when they had a go at my mum.

" They (various fans) have had a go at me, they've thrown crowns and other things at me when I've scored a goal or after celebrating in an away game.

"But I am the type of person who moves forward. Who doesn’t stop or pay attention to things like this.

"Because the truth is that it’s my work and my passion is scoring goals and I know."

Alfredo Morelos' Lamborghini Huracan

Are you ever worried about your safety?

What Sky said

"I've generally felt safe. I'm generally unfazed and it's more about my family and them feeling nervous about the situation.

What Morelos really said

"I don’t know what they want to do, I don’t know what they are going to do.

"They didn't do what they set out to do.

"If I hadn't noticed that the kid was under my car, I don't know what would have happened. Nor what they’re capable of and I don’t know what is going to happen.

"But anyway, thank God I was able to see the kid (or guy) and thank God they are investigating things."

It won't drive you out, Alfredo?

What Sky said

No. My goal is to stay focused on my game to help Rangers stay focused on winning the title and trophies and if I do that I think everything with my family will be calm.

What Morelos really said

No, no. As I told you, I'm careful with everything now.

It's a little worrying, but I don't have to town down what it is I am here to do, (which is to) play for Rangers.

How inspirational is Steven Gerrard?

What Sky said

"Yes it's very motivating to be playing for a legend like Gerrard. My team-mates and this coaching staff feel like a second family.

"Now it's all about making sure we do the right things on the pitch."

What Morelos really said

"He's very encouraging. Knowing that I'm under the command of a football legend is amazing.

"For me sharing every day with him, it's like he's my second family. My fellow players and coaches are like my second family. I spend half my time with them, every day."

Victory Apartments

Project Summary

Project Type

Victory Apartments

When Omaha-based America First Real Estate Group set out to rehab a former hospital that had been vacant for more than 10 years, they selected Darland to manage the construction. The Our Lady Victory Wing of the former St. Joseph Hospital in South Omaha was transformed into veteran housing and office space.

Architects at Alley Poyner Macchietto praised Darland’s performance on the complex project, “Darland has a strong preconstruction department and that was crucial to this project,” said project manager Nate Gieselman. “There were a lot of details and potential unknowns. Darland is very thorough, with dependable estimating, and they do a great job of working with the design team to make sure we cover all the bases.”

Victory Apartments consists of 90 apartment units to house at-risk veterans of the United States Armed Forces. Although originally planned as 80 units of housing, the development team was able to add 10 additional units with cost savings measures and dedication from the design and construction team.

“Everything was brand new,” said Darland project manager John Maderak. The 1950’s building was completely gutted and rebuilt with new interior walls, doors, a solid membrane roof, 460 new windows, plumbing, electrical, HVAC and fire suppression systems. All of the 65 one-bedroom and 25 studio units were also equipped with full kitchens and bathrooms. The building’s common space included a 7,000 square foot gym with fitness equipment and movie screen. The 21,000 square foot office space was completed a month ahead of schedule and was designed and built to accommodate employees from two separate agencies.

Microelectronics support nearly all Department of Defense (DoD) activities, enabling capabilities such as the global positioning system, radar, command and control, and communications.

Packaging for Heavy and Bulky Items

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Shipping and transporting heavy and large products can pose various challenges for businesses created by multiples factors. Choosing the right packaging for heavy and bulky items might seem like a challenge in itself but is very important if you want your items to get to their destination without being damaged.

While it’s important for businesses to find the best packaging for all types of products, larger and heavier items require special attention to ensure that the products are not damaged and that it is safe for the people handling it.

Items that are very heavy can create challenges for you when you wish to ship them and if you don’t select the right packaging it could fail under the weight, damaging your products and potentially injuring someone.

With larger or irregular shaped items, you may need to look at having bespoke packaging made for your products or consider shipping them as separate parts where you can better protect each item.

Metal Shipping Containers

Outer Packaging

It’s important to remember that double wall cardboard boxes can safely hold up to 30kg. This means that if your product weights more you will need to consider using triple wall boxes or wooden shipping crates. As well as being able to hold more weight both will add benefits for your products by offering greater levels of protection and structure than standard cardboard boxes, triple wall boxes from the extra wall and shipping crates due to being made from a solid rigid material. If using boxes, ensure that you secure them with an adequate amount of packing tape to make sure that they can hold the weight of the contents and maybe add some strapping to reinforce them further. Wooden crates are the strongest, most durable form of outer packaging for your heavy items and can withstand a great amount of weight and impacts. Another benefit is that they can be constructed, collapsed and reused multiples times helping you spread the initial cost of them over multiple orders. Alternatively, you could try using pallet collars and lids which allow you to construct a crate as you fill it or combined palletised cap and sleeve boxes. When dealing with big and heavy items it’s important to make sure that they are secured in the box or crate and aren’t going to move around. If your items are very heavy, try to avoid shipping multiple items in the same package as it may compromise the outer packaging and they could damage each other if they are resting on each other.

Wooden Shipping Crates

Inner Packaging

Picking the right packaging for heavy and bulky items doesn’t end when you pick the right cardboard box or shipping crate, some items might not even be able to go into a box or crate, but all will need adequate protection. With more overall surface area to damage, it’s important that you add the right amount of protective packaging. Edge and corner protectors are great at preventing impacts doing damage to vulnerable points on your products especially on items that aren’t able to fit inside boxes or crates such as heavy machinery. Bubble wrap and foam are good at cushioning a wide variety of heavy and bulky items and reducing vibrations and shock whilst polystyrene inserts specifically moulded for your product keep some space between your items and their outer packaging. If you’re shipping items that are metal, you may need to consider adding some corrosion protection like physical barriers (such as polythene packaging) to block any liquids or silica packets to absorb moisture from the air.

Platforms and Handling

All shipments will have times when they are handled, whether, by forklifts, cranes or people, it’s important to ensure that you make it easy to do so. Putting your shipments on a pallet will make it much easier for whoever has to handle it to load, unload and move it as it is optimised to be used with a forklift truck or pallet truck. Making it easier for them to handle your shipment will also mean that they are less likely to become damaged along their journey. There are multiples types of pallets available, from classic wooden pallets, pressed wood pallets and plastic pallets, as well as combinations of pallet and shipping box kits. Make sure that your items are secured to the pallet with adequate strapping to ensure that they are kept securely in place and do not move.

When you’re thinking about shipping your large items it’s important to explore the various options available to you to ensure that you find the right solution for your products. This will allow you to determine if they can provide the right amount of protection as well as keeping those handling them safe. If you need some advice on packaging for heavy and bulky items give us a call on 01332 821200 where a member of your team can help you pick the best solutions for you.

Ignoring maintenance has its price…

A worn belt drive system can jeopardize a vehicle’s performance and heighten the risk of engine failure. Avoid costly breakdowns – belt inspection should begin at 60,000 miles (100.000 kilometers) and all worn belts and belt-related components should be replaced by 90,000 miles (150.000 kilometers) to ensure safe and reliable service.

60 90 Inspect Replace

Dayco is committed to the awereness of these best practices as recommended by the Car Care Council*. In addition, Dayco provides a tool to gauge wear on an individual vehicle basis.

Leadership ideas, trends, and smarts

Your New Job: The Catalyst Leader

By Tacy Byham, Ph.D.

Tacy ByhamIn recent years, the term “boss” has taken a real beating both in the workplace and in popular culture. In movies the boss tends to be a ruthless gangster or amoral chieftain. In digital gaming, the boss is the last, biggest, and most horrific in a series of monsters that must be defeated. In business, the image of real-life leaders doesn’t fare any better. Search for “Bad Boss” on Google and find more than 36 million entries. Headlines include: “Ten things only bad bosses say,” “What makes a bad boss bad,” or, our favorite, “How to Survive 13 Types of Dysfunctional, Disrespectful, and Dishonest Little Dictators.” There are even multiple websites for bad bosses.

Imagine the stress that this can cause a new leader trying to succeed in your organization. My co-author, Rich Wellins, and I have watched emerging leaders grappling with many issues—some succeeding and some failing. Our new book, Your First Leadership Job, will guide these leaders through the challenges they will face.

Consider Mary, a new leader, who was interviewed for the book. When Mary described how she felt about her first leadership job, she repeatedly used the same term: “off-center.” Occasionally, she adjusted it to “totally off-center” or “completely off-center.”

But the outcome was the same.

Mary’s first eight months as a leader made her realize how unprepared she was. She had moved from a production job to a sales function, with no prior sales experience, and she was managing others for the first time. An all-male team of 12.

A female leader was a rarity in the male-dominated culture of chemical engineering, though Mary didn’t have time to enjoy the sound of the glass ceiling shattering. Instead, she found herself eye-to-eye with an unhappy rival. One of her new team members had been groomed for the job she now had, and was none too happy about losing out. To make matters worse, the previous boss had been beloved by the team. How could Mary possibly fill his shoes? That dizzy, off-center feeling was her constant awareness of being in a totally unfamiliar landscape without the tools to navigate clear.

Our goal for leaders in transition, like Mary, is to help them come up to speed quickly—being productive and engaging their teams. It requires a mindset shift and a specific set of leadership behaviors. Because leadership is all about behavior—what leaders need to do, when, and why. They’re on a journey to become the best leaders they can be and to fulfill their leadership legacy. But, as we all know, there is no magic button that will instantly transform them into perfect leaders. They’ll encounter unexpected diversions, tough challenges, and brand-new experiences.

We offer a simple, but powerful, idea of what people must become to succeed: a catalyst. Much like an ingredient that induces a chemical reaction, a catalyst leader is someone who ignites action in others. That ignition might jump-start a change in an inefficient process, spawn a new idea for a new product, or most importantly—effect change in others. Catalyst leaders represent the gold standard—energetic, supportive, forward-thinking mentors who spark action in others.

Both our research and observations show a dramatic difference between poor and even average leaders and those who we would label catalysts. In Lou Solomon’s Harvard Business Review article titled “The Top Complaints of Employees About their Leaders” (June 2015), he demonstrates that the vast majority of leaders are not engaging in crucial moments that could help employees see them as trustworthy.

In contrast, catalyst leaders help people and organizations grow by intentionally pursuing goals that stretch their skills and test their mettle. They collaborate and foster interdependence. And, catalyst leaders are opportunity-creators—they open doors of opportunity for others.

This figure illustrates what being a catalyst leader is all about.

The Catalyst Leader

Whether you have new leaders or people with a few years of experience, becoming a catalyst leader is hard work. It doesn’t happen overnight. The common characteristic in great catalysts is their passion to become better leaders.

Catalyst leaders strengthen both the people and organization.

What It Takes to Have More Catalyst Leaders

Heavily weigh catalyst behavior for both selection and promotion decisions. While these behaviors are trainable, finding those potential leaders with a reasonable level of emotional intelligence will save you headaches later on. The type of leader you promote also sends a strong signal to the rest of the organization about what behaviors are valued in leaders.

Let your leaders know where they stand. There’s an array of powerful and reasonably priced assessment tools that accurately evaluate catalyst leader behaviors. These tools help leaders recognize their strengths and often identify blind spots. In addition to guiding development, they should be used as part of your leader selection process.

Ensure ongoing practice. Our research, across thousands of leaders, confirms the developability of catalyst behavior. However, positive change comes with skills development and ongoing attempts at application. There are no shortcuts.

The right behaviors need to be modeled at the top. Unfortunately, as leaders rise to the top, they tend to regress in demonstrating the behaviors we describe in this article. In some ways this is understandable because using the right skills consistently isn’t easy. But when senior leaders don’t model catalyst behaviors—when they damage self-esteem, micromanage, or don’t listen—they make it easier for frontline leaders to avoid putting in the effort.

Car accidents are terrifying and may have devastating results for those involved. However, when you are in a collision with a commercial truck, the results may include more catastrophic injuries. In 2017, 4,761 people died in accidents involving large trucks.

If you sustained an injury from an accident with a commercial truck, you may need to take action to receive the compensation you deserve. It is important to understand your rights and how to move forward with a case.

How truck accidents may cause worse injuries

Truck accidents may cause worse injuries than car accidents. Trucks may weigh over 80,000 pounds, which increases the chances of injury from an accident. The potentially tragic outcome of a car and truck colliding makes it even more vital for safe driving practices.

How trucking companies contribute to the issue

Transportation companies’ practices may increase a truck driver’s negligence on the road. Trucking companies sometimes provide incentives to employees who drive farther distances in a shorter time frame, which may cause fatigue and recklessness in truck drivers.

There may be unreasonable schedule requirements and a lack of focus on safety in companies, which increases the chances of an accident occurring. These factors may have contributed to a truck driver’s negligence during your accident.

How to gather information

It is a requirement to exchange information with the truck driver in the crash with you. Information you may exchange is names, addresses, vehicle registration, insurance and license plate numbers. Also, this information is essential when moving your claim forward.

How to gain evidence

Gaining evidence after a crash may be crucial for your case. After an accident, you need to take photos of the scene and visible injuries sustained in the crash. Furthermore, records of medical attention and your diagnosis after the crash add credibility to your case. Following these steps is vital to receive the compensation owed to you.

Members of the State Legislation vowing to do what they can to restore Parchman State Penitentiary.

State Senator Sarita Simmons, along with House Representatives Otis Anthony, Abe Hudson Jr. and Tracey Rosebud are working with Governor Tate Reeves and Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann to discuss ways to secure jobs for the people working at the Parchman State Penitentiary.

They said, they also want to make sure the entire Mississippi Department of Corrections is safe for all offenders, their families and employees.

All of the legislators who spoke with The Delta News outside of Parchman said, one of the key reasons they want to save the prison is because it has become an economic driver for the community.

"One of the things we worked on talking to the Governor, he stated that he would secure all of the individuals in Unit 29 and reassign them to different locations here."  Said Rep. Tracey Rosebud, House District 30.

"Basically he said he wanted to close 29 because of the living conditions, and be willing to move the offenders to a different unit." Said State Senator Sarita Simmons, District 13.

"We're looking to increase their salaries, no# 1, also, we're looking at ways that we can attract, more male officers.  The majority of our officers in the system, in the MDOC are women." Said Rep. Otis Anthony, House District 31.

"I believe it time for us to do something about this facility and several facilities around the Mississippi Department of Corrections.  We have to do better, the entire world is watching us."  Said, Abe Hudson, House District 29.

The group of lawmakers said they hope to have some changes within the year.
