Reports Indicate Woman Seriously Injured in Kansas City Crash was Not Wearing a Seat Belt

Comments (0)

At Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys, we know people generally don't like wearing their seat belts. They can be too tight and in some cases, become more of a distraction they they seem to be helpful. It is important to remember that it is far better to be wearing a seat belt and never need it rather than to have needed it when you weren't wearing one.

Single vehicle accidents happen all the time in the KC Metro area. Just this weekend a 37 year old woman was seriously injured in a rollover car crash that also injured her 2 year old son. According to Kansas City Police, the woman was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. Thankfully, the baby was properly secured, leading only to moderate injuries.

Our experienced Kansas and Missouri Auto Accident Injury Lawyers would rather see you avoid a crash altogether. One reason we have these blogs is to raise awareness of the pitfalls many drivers fall into that often lead to serious injury accidents. In this case, we want to strongly remind all motorists to please wear your seat belts. It's not just the law, it could save your life.

Contact Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys today to set up a free consultation to discuss your case in privacy. We want you to know your rights as a victim in a car accident in Kansas and Missouri. State laws can be confusing and lead to excess stress. Let us help.

How long will it take to sell?

Our research indicates that the first two weeks on market are the most critical for achieving a sale.

In 2018, 20% of all Wirral sales have been agreed within the first two weeks of marketing. Launching a property on Rightmove appears to be the most critical time as buyers eagerly await the next new listing to cast their eyes over. However, if that listing is over-priced in comparison to other similar properties or the photography doesn’t do it justice, it may not have the optimum level of online impact.

While one-in-five properties will find their buyer within the first two weeks, there are still many which take longer. Properties launched at too high a price has been the primary cause of longer selling times on Wirral this year, with 28% needing a price reduction before finding their buyer. In a more challenging market, it is essential to use an agent who have an in-depth knowledge of your local area to ensure the price is competitive at launch.

Take a look at the chart below to see how long it typically takes to sell Wirral property based on 2018 transactions:

Graph shows percentage of Wirral properties sold per two-week time frame after Rightmove launch (Land Registry and Rightmove data 2018)

As leading Wirral estate agents and lettings agents we have plenty to talk about and like to give our opinions on a few things too! Read about what we have to say, our latest news and industry news.

Restaurant Report Card - October 18, 2018

BRAZOS COUNTY, Tex. (KBTX) - Find out which restaurants made the grade in this week's Restaurant Report Card.

To view this week's scores click here

The Brazos County Health Department makes available to all media each week the results of inspections at local businesses.

Click here for more information from the Brazos County Health Department.

A "No Score" (N/S) can be given at restaurant openings, field or complaint investigations, and follow-up inspections.

P/S or permit suspended happens after a restaurant scores lower than a 70 or if the Health Department deems the restaurant a health risk. A massive infestation of insects or no hot water will automatically close a restaurant down.

Keep in mind, every restaurant in the county must post their most recent score near the entrance of the eatery. Look for a yellow sheet of paper in a frame next time you go into a restaurant. There, you'll see how the place you're about to eat at did on their score.

Toy Handcuffs - Includes a Set of Working Keys

Toy Handcuffs

(In stock)

  • Toy Handcuffs - Includes a Set of Working Keys Toy Handcuffs - Includes a Set of Working Keys

Quick Overview

I know it seems like I bring it up all the time, but the children of today just do not seem to be as “child-like” as they once were. As a former educator, I cannot help but consider the wellbeing of children. It seems like they could all benefit from a nice helping of imagination. The advent of technology, namely the Internet, but also television, video games and cellphones have all but made actual toys a thing of the past. The third- and fourth-grade students I used to teach actually owned cellphones! Of course, toys still exist but they are not at all what they used to be. What happened to Matchbox® cars, Tinkertoys®, Radio Flyer® wagons and other classic toys that required youngsters to flex their heads just a little bit? Today, children do not want to be bothered with anything that requires them to look away from an LCD screen or leave their homes. is not much in the way of a toy store, but that is not going to keep us from offering products for children every now and then. And I am not talking about video games; we are talking about actual toys that require three things – children, imaginations and social skills. If your child has none of the above, consider picking up a pair of our new toy handcuffs and schedule a play date with “Little Jimmy” from down the street. Just like the handcuffs you used to play with, our new toy handcuffs will have your child playing “Cops and Robbers,” “Cowboys and Indians” and whatever other games they can, wait for it…imagine. Perfectly safe and amazingly fun, this is one toy you can feel good about giving to your child.

You cannot put a price on inspiring imagination and creativity. Even if you could, at only $2.50, these toy handcuffs would surely fall well below it.

Availability: In Stock

Our toy handcuffs are constructed entirely from die cast metal and feature a special polished finish. Included with each package is a set of two working keys and a key ring that can be used to unlock the handcuffs. Also built in to each cuff is a special quick-release safety lever that can be used if the keys are lost, making these handcuffs 100 percent foolproof and perfect for children.

To use, simply place the handcuffs on each wrist and press the cuff down until it catches the ratchet. Tighten as necessary, but be careful not to over tighten. Unlocking the cuffs is just as simple. Insert the key into the key hole and make one quarter of a clockwise turn. Alternatively, you may press the quick-release safety lever and unlock the cuffs.

It is high noon on a sunny day out by the sandbox and “Little Jimmy” is wanted on three counts of grand theft auto. Word around town is that he has been lifting big wheels left and right. Lucky for us, Sheriff (insert your child’s name here) is on the case. With his trusty toy handcuffs, justice will most definitely be served. This is, of course, only one of many possible scenarios your children can play out when presented with a toy that requires actual playing, such as the toy handcuffs. While it does make a great toy, you may also consider the toy handcuffs for:

- Costumes

- Movie production

- Stage and theater production

- Party favors

- Much more…

At only $2.50 for each set, the possibilities are truly endless.

Minister of Finance Bill Morneau speaks to media after meeting with private sector economists, in Toronto on February 16, 2018. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Christopher Katsarov

Paternity leave, deficit, cybersecurity: what to expect in the 2018 federal budget

Federal budget to be announced on Tuesday

Finance Minister Bill Morneau has said science, gender equality and preparing Canadians for the jobs of the future will be key themes in Tuesday’s federal budget. Here are some more details on what it is expected to contain:

The federal budget is expected to include a five-week, “use-it-or-lose-it” incentive for new fathers to take parental leave and share the responsibilities of raising their baby. The goal is to give parents a greater incentive to share child-rearing responsibilities so that new mothers can more easily return to the workforce. Quebec already has a policy with a paid, five-week leave for fathers that covers up to 70 per cent of their income.

The budget is also expected to include a major financial boost to basic scientific research across Canada, which would address some of the concerns outlined last year in a national review of the state of fundamental science. That review recommended phasing in $1.3 billion more for researchers, scholarships and facilities over four years. The research community also thinks the budget could include new efforts to support young and Indigenous researchers, as well as help advance the role of women in science.

Since the Liberal government feels it has checked climate-change financing off its long environmental to-do list, Ottawa is expected to shift its funding focus to other international obligations on the environment, such as the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. The 2010 agreement says Canada must protect at least 17 per cent of its terrestrial areas, including inland waters, plus at least 10 per cent of its oceans by 2020.

The government is expected to detail the cost of its long-held promise to achieve proactive pay equity in Canada this year. The exact figure remains to be seen, but the price tag on closing the gender wage gap in the public service and federally regulated workplaces, which together employ nearly 1.2 million people, will likely be significant.

The budget could include an effort to increase procurement opportunities for female entrepreneurs, following the recommendation of the Canada-U.S. women-in-business group created by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Donald Trump. The government has already been taking concrete steps toward adjusting procurement practices to increase the diversity of bidders. Groups promoting social procurement have seen more and more encouraging signs that additional commitments are on the way.

The Liberals blew through their 2015 campaign promise to keep the annual deficit below $10 billion in their first federal budget, and their ability to stick by their commitment to return to balance by 2019 remains in doubt. The latest federal forecast, released last October, projected a $14.3-billion deficit for 2019-20 and doubts persist that Tuesday’s budget will show a revised timeline for getting back to black.

The Liberals have also put this budget through a gender-based analysis, which involves thinking about how a certain measure might affect men and women, or boys and girls, in a different ways, while accounting for other intersecting factors such as income, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation.

The budget is also expected to devote $50 million over five years to support local journalism in underserved communities across Canada, according to media reports. The Liberal government could also announce a plan to look at new business models that could allow charitable organizations to support non-profit journalism.

The budget is expected to detail how the government will deliver on its commitment to add $500 million more to the Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB), beginning next year. The benefit allows people typically earning the minimum wage or less to receive more income by subsidizing their wages with a tax credit.

The budget is also expected to devote big money to tackle the acute housing shortage in Indigenous communities, where homes are often overcrowded and in serious need of repairs. The Liberals have promised unique housing strategies for Inuit, Metis and First Nations communities alongside the 10-year, $225-million plan announced last year to fund groups that help house Indigenous Peoples living off-reserve.

There are high expectations from government and industry insiders that the budget will include large investments to help bolster Canadian cybersecurity defences at a time of heightened online threats around the world. The budget is set to fund a multi-departmental effort to strengthen the ability to protect and respond in the event of an attack.

The budget is expected to include almost $80 million over five years to build and operate a federal computer system aimed at ending no-fly list mismatches that have seen many innocent travellers — including dozens of children — endure anxious airport delays.

Edmonson County Warrants and Arrest Records Search

Kentucky Arrest Records and Warrant Search

Please fill in the form below to begin your Kentucky criminal records search

By searching you certify that you are above 18 years of age

Since there are only about 50 crimes reported in Edmonson County, KY each year, it is not surprising that the sheriff’s website states that while the offices “…duties fall into four categories:tax collection, election duties, services to courts and law enforcement. The majority of service time is expended on civil duties. “Nevertheless, conducting an arrest warrant search in Edmonson County feasible.

The Edmonson County sheriff’s website contains basic information, but unfortunately contains no links to or lists of outstanding warrants or recent arrests. However, the staff listing does include someone named as the “warrants clerk”, so contacting the sheriff’s office may provide all the information needed to complete an inquiry into active warrants and/or arrest records. The sheriff’s website URL is http://www.edmonsonsheriff.com/. The office’s mailing address is PO Box 100, 110 Jackson Street, Brownsville, KY 42210. Their telephone number is (270) 597-2157 and their fax number is (270) 597-2457. The office is open during the week from 8 AM to 4 PM, and on Saturdays from 8 AM to Noon.

Should the Edmonson County sheriff not supply adequate data on arrest warrants or other related matters such as arrest records, there are a few other avenues available. The first is the Circuit Court Clerk for Edmonson County, which is housed within the Edmonson County Courthouse Annex at 110 Cross Main St. , P. O. Box 739, Brownsville, KY 42210-0739. The court clerk in Edmonson County, Kentucky maintains court dockets, which basically contain the dates of everything occurring in a case along with summaries of actions taken in the case.

Another option is the Kentucky State police covering Edmonson County. The Kentucky State Police who oversee Bee Spring, Brownsville, and Park City may be reached by telephone (non-emergencies only) at (270) 782-2010. Otherwise, a search at the state level may be indicated to find information on outstanding warrants and arrests. The Kentucky Court of justice has a case search page at http://kcoj.kycourts.net/CourtRecords/Search.aspx.

Makhan Singh Kenya Trade Unionist

By Makhan Singh Study Group 21 July 2014

Born: Gurjanwala, near Lahore (then Colonial India) 27 December 1913 – Died Aga Khan Hospital, Nairobi 16 May 1973 (Other sources state he died on 18 May 1973)

One of the founders of trade unionism in Kenya. Freedom fighter for Kenya‘s independence from colonial rule. One of the longest serving pre-independence detainee. Staunch communist and Marxist.

Believed in socialist ideals.

Makhan Singh Centennial Celebrations

27 December 2013 marked 100 years since Makhan Singh was born and forty years since he died.  Makhan Singh is seen as one of Kenya’s forgotten heroes and his legacy continues to this day. Kenya is not a Marxist or socialist state. In fact one could say it is the opposite, “… a man eat man society” (A Tanzanian description of Kenyans by the Tanzanian Government controlled Media).  What young  Kenyans are discovering is  Makhan Singh’s passion for social justice and democracy in Kenya which is touching people beyond his own idealology and race. Many describe Makhan Singh as the Father of the Trade Union Movement in Kenya. Fred Olouch wrote a moving tribute in the Daily Nation, Nairobi entitled ‘Makhan Singh: The Nelson Mandela of Kenya’  July 8, 2013

There are plays, readings and events marking the birth and life of Makhan Singh celebrated throughout the world taking place in 2014.

Recommended viewing is Hilary Ng’weno ‘s Makers of a Nation video on Makhan Singh available via Kenya Histories and Biographies Co. Ltd and leading retailers in Nairobi.

Zarina Patel’s book – Unquiet: The life and Times of Mahkan Singh available on Amazon and other retailers.

Study Group Questions:

Where (Hospital) and when did Makhan Singh Die?

Why did the then Colonial Government see Makhan Singh as a great threat? If not one of the greatest threat in Colonial Kenya.

Why did Jomo kenyatta’s post independent Kenya Government ignore Makhan Singh and his contributions in challenging and changing the rights of workers in Kenya?

Did Makhan Singh have any links with Tanzania which was (and still is?) a socialist oriented state?

Why and when  did Tanzania call Kenya a ” … a man eat man society.”

Trump escalates his war with the Fed

President Donald Trump has escalated his highly unusual attack on the Federal Reserve.He tweeted early Friday ...

Posted: Jul. 20, 2018 5:02 PM
Updated: Jul. 20, 2018 5:02 PM

President Donald Trump has escalated his highly unusual attack on the Federal Reserve.

He tweeted early Friday that higher interest rates are taking away America's competitive edge with China. On Thursday, he complained that higher rates were undoing his administration's efforts to help the economy.

The dollar fell on Trump's tweets.

The Federal Reserve was constructed early in the 20th century to be an independent financial institution, free from the whims of politics. The Fed has been carefully and gradually raising rates over the past several years to keep inflation in check and to prevent the economy from overheating.

Higher rates strengthen the dollar against the world's currencies, which makes the United States a more expensive place to invest.

Trump said that raising American interest rates makes China a more attractive to place to invest, because China artificially devalues its currency. When US rates go up, American businesses' dollars go further outside the United States - particularly in China, where the yuan is cheap.

Ironically, the Trump administration's trade war with China has helped devalue the yuan, which has fallen more than 8% over the past three months. China's slowing economy has pushed the yuan lower, too.

The yuan fell sharply against the dollar on Thursday and Friday after China's central bank indicated that it was willing to accept a weaker currency. The People's Bank of China does not let the yuan float freely like the dollar. Instead, China sets a daily trading range for the yuan - an action that Trump and other China critics have described as currency manipulation.

A weak yuan could help China's economy cope with American tariffs, because Chinese products would be cheaper for buyers who pay in dollars.

In an interview with CNBC on Friday, Trump reiterated that he is willing to impose tariffs on all $506 billion worth of goods that China exports to the United States.

The United States is preparing to impose tariffs on another $16 billion of Chinese exports on top of the $34 billion already subject to American import taxes.

Meanwhile, other currencies have lost ground to the dollar this year. The European economy has lagged the United States', and the European Central Bank has only just begun to tighten its monetary policy.

Having it both ways

Trump has spoken out about the dollar and interest rates before. His comments are not only inconsistent with precedent, they are also inconsistent, period.

He has supported a strong dollar in the past.

"The dollar is going to get stronger and stronger, and ultimately I want to see a strong dollar," Trump said in a January 25 interview with CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

He also previously supported higher interest rates. He criticized former Fed Chair Janet Yellen, saying she should be "ashamed of herself" for keeping interest rates so low.

"The ones who did it right - they saved their money [and] they cut down on their mortgages ... and now they're practically getting zero interest on the money. Those people have really been, you could almost say discriminated against," he said in a September 12, 2016, interview with CNBC.

This is why presidents are not supposed to weigh in on Fed policy. What's politically expedient at the time may not be good for the American economy in the long run.

The Fed had no comment. Chairman Jerome Powell has played down concerns about Trump's politicizing the Fed.

"We have a long tradition here of conducting policy in a particular way, and that way is independent of all political concerns," he said in a radio interview last week with "Marketplace."

St. Louis Fed President James Bullard told reporters Friday that Trump's comments would not influence the central bank's decisions.

"Lots of politicians talk about Fed policy. The president does not have to stay out [of the debate]," he said. "It doesn't really change what the committee faces."

Wall Street Journal Examines Shortage Of TB Drugs In India

Noting “India faces a potential shortage of a critical medication for drug-resistant tuberculosis that could deepen an already acute drug-shortfall-problem in the country with the highest burden of the deadly contagious disease,” the Wall Street Journal reports, “Tuberculosis officials in several Indian states said this week that their stocks of kanamycin, an injectable antibiotic commonly used to treat drug-resistant TB, are running low, and an Indian government official acknowledged that the country has only a three-month supply left.” According to the newspaper, “The potential shortage would be the latest of several that India is facing with its TB drugs, and is particularly worrying because sporadic supplies of medications for drug-resistant forms of the disease can actually fuel further drug resistance.”

“Since January, pediatric TB drugs have been in short supply in many Indian states, according to TB officials,” the Wall Street Journal writes, noting, “The central government also has been unable to provide sufficient rifampicin, the most powerful TB drug, and another medicine, streptomycin.” The newspaper adds, “The shortages have so angered tuberculosis patients and activists that they held a rare protest outside the federal health ministry in New Delhi Wednesday” (Shah/McKay, 6/27).

On Wednesday, March 30, students from Anatol Rodgers High School in Nassau, Bahamas visited the King’s University College campus. The students came to London for a week and toured the King’s campus, as well as Fanshawe College and Brescia University College. The group of over 20 students, accompanied by over 7 adults (teachers, counsellors), visited the campuses and took a tour of London; including visiting Masonville Mall and attending a London Lightning basketball game. The group also took a trip to visit Niagara Falls. While at King’s, the group took part in a scavenger hunt to learn more about King’s and to explore the campus. King’s would like to thank the students from Anatol Rodgers High School for their visit and hope to see familiar faces in the Fall.

Passive voice

Passive voice is a grammatical voice common in many languages. In a clause with passive voice, the grammatical subject expresses the theme or patient of the main verb – that is, the person or thing that undergoes the action or has its state changed.[1] This contrasts with active voice, in which the subject has the agent role. For example, in the passive sentence "The tree was pulled down", the subject (the tree) denotes the patient rather than the agent of the action. In contrast, the sentences "Someone pulled down the tree" and "The tree is down" are active sentences.

Typically, in passive clauses, what is usually expressed by the object (or sometimes another argument) of the verb is now expressed by the subject, while what is usually expressed by the subject is either deleted or is indicated by some adjunct of the clause. Thus, turning an active verb into a passive verb is a valence-decreasing process ("detransitivizing process"), because it turns transitive verbs into intransitive verbs.[2] This is not always the case; for example in Japanese a passive-voice construction does not necessarily decrease valence.[3]

Many languages have both an active and a passive voice; this allows for greater flexibility in sentence construction, as either the semantic agent or patient may take the syntactic role of subject.[4] The use of passive voice allows speakers to organize stretches of discourse by placing figures other than the agent in subject position. This may be done to foreground the patient, recipient, or other thematic role;[4] it may also be useful when the semantic patient is the topic of on-going discussion.[5] The passive voice may also be used to avoid specifying the agent of an action.

Passive marking

Different languages use various grammatical forms to indicate passive voice.

In some languages, passive voice is indicated by verb conjugation, specific forms of the verb. Examples of languages that indicate voice through conjugation include Latin and North Germanic languages such as Swedish.

Latin Swedish meaning
Vīnum ā servō portātur. Vinet bärs av tjänaren. "The wine is carried by the servant." (passive voice)
Servus vīnum portat. Tjänaren bär vinet. "The servant carries the wine." (active voice)

Norwegian (Nynorsk) and Icelandic have a similar system, but the usage of the passive is more restricted. The passive forms in Nynorsk are restricted to only be accompanied by an auxiliary verb, which is not the case in Swedish and Danish.[citation needed]

In Latin, the agent of a passive sentence (if indicated) is expressed using a noun in the ablative case, in this case servō (the ablative of servus). Different languages use different methods for expressing the agent in passive clauses. In Swedish, the agent can be expressed by means of a prepositional phrase with the preposition av (equivalent here to the English "by").

The Austronesian language Kimaragang Dusun also indicates passive voice by verb conjugation using the infix, -in-.[2]

root past passive meaning
patay pinatay "was killed"
nakaw ninakaw "was stolen"
garas ginaras "was butchered"

Other languages, including English, express the passive voice periphrastically, using an auxiliary verb.

In English

English, like some other languages, uses a periphrastic passive. Rather than conjugating directly for voice, English uses the past participle form of the verb plus an auxiliary verb, either be or get (called linking verbs in traditional grammar), to indicate passive voice.

  • The money was donated to the school.
  • The vase got broken during the fight.
  • All men are created equal.

If the agent is mentioned, it usually appears in a prepositional phrase introduced by the preposition by.

  • Without agent: The paper was marked.
  • With agent: The paper was marked by Mr. Tan.

The subject of the passive voice usually corresponds to the direct object of the corresponding active-voice formulation (as in the above examples), but English also allows passive constructions in which the subject corresponds to an indirect object or preposition complement:

  • We were given tickets. (subject we corresponds to the indirect object of give)
  • Tim was operated on yesterday. (subject Tim corresponds to the complement of the preposition on)

In sentences of the second type, a stranded preposition is left. This is called the prepositional passive or pseudo-passive (although the latter term can also be used with other meanings).

The active voice is the dominant voice used in English. Many commentators, notably George Orwell in his essay "Politics and the English Language" and Strunk & White in The Elements of Style, have urged minimizing use of the passive voice, but this is almost always based on these commentators' misunderstanding of what the passive voice is.[6] What they want to criticize are sentences whose content and style are weak and "passive" in a figurative sense[7] but often in fact have verbs in the active voice. In addition, many of these commentators naively use the passive voice themselves in criticizing what are in fact sentences with verbs in the active voice, whereby they demonstrate that they do not always follow their own recommendations. Contrary to common incorrect critical claims about the passive voice, it has important uses, and virtually all writers use the passive voice, including Orwell and Strunk & White themselves. They even used it much more often than is usual in prose writing in general. (In the case of Orwell, more than 50% more often than the examples with the highest usage in studies cited below.)[8] There is general agreement that the passive voice is useful for emphasis, or when the receiver of the action is more important than the actor.[9]

Merriam–Webster's Dictionary of English Usage refers to three statistical studies of passive versus active sentences in various periodicals, stating: "the highest incidence of passive constructions was 13 percent. Orwell runs to a little over 20 percent in "Politics and the English Language". Clearly he found the construction useful in spite of his advice to avoid it as much as possible".[9]

Kavalan Enters ‘Ginaissance,’ Offers Perfect Drink for New Year

First in a range of gins by Taiwanese whisky maker inspired by island’s subtropical riches

TAIPEI, Taiwan, Jan. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — After the excesses of the holiday period, the answer to the perfect drink could lie in a refreshingly smooth and clean gin by acclaimed whisky maker Kavalan, featuring a subtle blend of six botanical extracts.

A refreshingly smooth new gin for the new year from whisky maker Kavalan with six botanical extracts including kumquat peel, dried star fruit and red guava

Completing worldwide distribution in 2019, Kavalan Gin (40% ABV at 70cl) is the inaugural gin from the Taiwanese whisky maker. Double charcoal-filtered and triple distilled in traditional copper stills, it is made from the same incredibly pure malted barley spirit as the award-winning Kavalan whisky.

Kavalan Gin is the first in a new series of Kavalan Exquisite Gins for global release.

Its rounder, more complex profile and creamy mouthfeel make Kavalan Gin luxurious enough to be a sipping gin, as well as drunk in cocktails.

The perfect cocktail for the New Year enhances Kavalan Gin’s richness, zestiness and spice. The exotic “Road by the Sea” makes a delicious moment to share with friends or family on any occasion.

  • Kavalan Gin – 50ml
  • Sherry Amontillado – 10ml
  • Dolin Dry Vermouth-infused Bamboo Leaf – 10ml
  • Coconut Water – 10ml
  • Coriander Bitters – 2 drops

Kavalan CEO Mr. YT Lee said his first gin, made with botanical extracts, balanced its juniper with notes of tart, sweet kumquat and other citrus, adding depth with musky guava, sweet starfruit, and spices.

“We want to offer a new gin experience this new year. That’s why along with the traditional botanicals of juniper, aniseed and coriander, we are giving people a taste of Kavalan’s home in Yilan with kumquat peel, dried star fruit and red-flesh guava botanical extracts,” he said.
“Taiwan is the kingdom of fruits and Yilan itself is lush and wet, offering its own mouth-watering fruits,” Mr. Lee said.(1)

Master Blender Ian Chang said the Exquisite Gins would celebrate experimentation and take inspiration from the flavours of Kavalan’s home in Taiwan. “After more than 10 years of making whisky, I wanted to try my hand at gin and contribute to the global Gin Renaissance. I’m very excited about crafting a unique series to showcase Kavalan distillery and Yilan and extend a warm welcome to gin drinkers,” Mr. Chang said.

Kavalan Gin’s bottle design pays tribute to its water source, Snow Mountain, with the juniper-blue glass crystals symbolising the mountain’s melt waters while the clear glass on top represents its transformation into the deliciously pure spirit of the gin.

“The smoothness of our gins, like our whiskies, relies on the mineral-rich water we take from Snow Mountain’s springs, so it’s fitting we pay homage to it as well as gin’s juniper on the bottle,” Mr. Chang said.

Kavalan has proved itself a strong bar favourite once again in this year’s 2019 Annual Bar Report by Drinks International, voted by bartenders, managers and owners across the globe.(2)

Product Information
At the heart of the inaugural Kavalan Gin is the rarest of malted barley spirits, made from Taiwan’s purest water source and triple-distilled in Kavalan Distillery’s German stills to create a luxuriously mellow mouth-feel. An elegant expression of the natural bounty found in the fertile, subtropical land of Kavalan Distillery, this Taiwanese gin features six specially selected botanical extracts, 100% natural, including tangy kumquat, luscious star fruit and sweet red-flesh guava, giving this exceptionally fine gin its delicious aromatic complexity.

Tasting Notes

  • Colour – Crystal clear
  • Nose – Refreshing and elegant. Delicate aromas of juniper berries, soft aniseed and scents of coriander flourish, developing into an exuberance of zesty kumquat and citrus orange finish.
  • Palate – Rich, pleasingly sweet, and long and full in body. A thick creaminess envelops the tongue releasing a distinctive sweetness from the red-flesh guava, starfruit, and zesty kumquat perfectly balanced by a burst of refreshing citrus.
  • Finish – An elegance and enduring fruitiness that defines this smooth, clean gin.

About Kavalan Distillery

Kavalan Distillery in Yilan County has been pioneering the art of single malt whisky in Taiwan since 2005. Our whisky, aged in intense humidity and heat, sources the meltwaters of Snow Mountain and is enhanced by cool sea and mountain breezes. All this combines to create Kavalan’s signature creaminess. Taking Yilan County’s old name, our distillery is backed by about 40 years of beverage-making under parent company, King Car Group. We have collected more than 280 gold awards or higher from the industry’s most competitive contests, and are available in more than 70 countries. Visit www.kavalanwhisky.com

Notes to the Editor:

1. Locally-Inspired Botanical Extracts 100% Natural:

Vast tropical and subtropical landscapes across the island allow the cultivation of a rich diversity of fruits and produce. The 100% natural botanical extracts blended into Kavalan Gin have been inspired by the following local varieties from the Kingdom of Fruit:

  • Kumquat peel — A refreshing tartness balanced with sweetness
    Yilan is famous for its zesty kumquats, which translates in Mandarin to “Golden Orange.” Larger than a grape, biting into a kumquat gives a big burst of tart, sweet citrus flavour. The tartness comes from the flesh and the sweetness from the zest, in contrast to other citrus fruits.
  • Dried red guava — Sweet, musky aroma
    Taiwan is one of the world’s largest producers of guavas, which is a delicate and sweet fruit, with green or yellow skin. Yilan has a reputation for the soft, red-flesh variety which has a divinely sweet flesh that melts in your mouth.
  • Dried star fruit — Fruity sweetness to stimulate your appetite
    Taiwanese Star Fruit are larger and more succulent than other varieties. With notes of pineapple and citrus, it is identified by five “ribs,” which create a star shape when sliced, Taiwanese Star Fruit is grown right across the country, with sweet and tart varieties, and has become a symbolic fruit for Taiwan.

2. In Drinks International’s 2019 Annual Bar Report Kavalan ranks 4th highest trending (In terms of requests by bar customers) and 5th best selling in the World Whisky category.

Protecting our investment

The CBD is a special assessment district into which property owners contribute money to ensure the district is safe, clean and promoted. The help of property owners allows us to continue the tremendous success of the KONO Community Benefit District. Check out our accomplishments to learn more about what we've achieved through the support of property owners. Your help is still needed to take our community into the next phase of economic growth.

Annual Report to City Council 2016

Annual Report to City Council 2015
Annual Report to City Council 2014

History of the CBD

In 1999, the Oakland City Council approved the Oakland Property Business Improvement District Ordinance (Ord. No. 12190 C.M.S). This legislation allows for the formation of property-based assessment districts (CBDs) to undertake a range of services within an assessment area, independent from government, to further the development and economic viability of an area.

Property owners along Telegraph Avenue from 20th to 35th Streets in Oakland voted to approve forming a CBD for that area in July of 2007. They were unhappy about the long economic decline of the area and wanted to band together for positive change. The goal was to create a strong advocacy group that would bring resources and attention and make the area more attractive for visitors. The small residential population could not support widespread economic revitalization, so outside investment from the district's large number of Korean-American property and business owners was targeted. They approved calling the new CBD Koreatown Northgate, which reflects both new investment and the existing neighborhood. The CBD works to build strong community relationships among property owners, merchants and residents.

About the Community Benefit District

There are 8 volunteer members on our board of directors. They are residents, business owners, and/or property owners in the CBD. One 3/4 time and one 1/2 time staffis employed to complete all administrative duties. Property owners contribute approximately $308,000 each year into the CBD. The assessments are an addition to each owner's property tax bill.

55% of funds are used for Public Right of Way Sidewalk Operations (PROWSO).
25% of funds are used for administration.
15% of funds are used for marketing and identity.
5% of the funds are held in contingency, to reimburse
         the City and County for collection costs.

Security & Operations Committee

Safety1st ambassadors sweep sidewalks, report and remove illegal dumping, remove graffiti, report feedback from businesses and residents and monitor crime and loitering. Regular meetings with the Oakland Police Department to eradicate quality of life crimes from the area. Strategically placed cameras combat graffiti and protect small businesses. In light of recent police reductions, including our Walking and Problem Solving Officer, it's imperative that Oakland Merchants unite in an effort to ward off neighborhood crime and nuisances. More information here Utility boxes like the ones shown below are a graffii abatement effort and a beautification project

Upcoming Meetings

Executive Committee - Every first Tuesday of the month @ 6:00 pm
Board of Directors - Every second Tuesday of the month @ 6:30 pm

Meetings takes place at the KONO office (2301 Telegraph Ave. Oakland, CA 94612). Ring doorbell at the back gate on 23rd street.

Marketing & Identity Committee

KONO website created by LocalOn allows merchants to post events and coupons directly to the site. Promotional partnerships with East Bay Express, Korea Times, Oakland Local, and Oakland Grown work with merchants to drive business and encourage local holiday shopping. Art in vacant storefronts and on utility boxes highlights local talent and attracts businesses to the area. Street banners enliven and promote the district. 83 trees restore greenery to Telegraph Avenue. The CBD organizes a yearly multi-cultural street festival.

Deadlier flu season may be brewing for B.C.

Vaccine mismatch unlikely to impede protection this year, but most dangerous H3N2 strain expected to be dominant

B.C. may be in for one of the deadliest flu seasons in recent years and public health officials are hoping more at-risk residents get vaccinated.

But they’re facing an uphill battle – use of the influenza vaccine dipped to around 35 per cent of the B.C. population last flu season, after peaking a year earlier at nearly 40 per cent.

Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, said she believes some people skipped the vaccine last year following disclosure that the 2014-15 vaccine gave virtually no protection against the flu strain that ended up circulating.

That mismatch problem doesn’t appear to have resurfaced this year, however.

Skowronski said signs so far indicate the more dangerous H3N2 influenza strain will dominate this flu season and “pack quite a wallop” following a relatively mild H1N1-dominant flu season last winter.

“H3N2 viruses are associated with the greatest disease burden – more intense, severe epidemics, more hospitalizations and deaths,” Skowronski said. “A number of us are concerned that it’s H3N2 we’re likely facing this year. We are already picking up care facility outbreaks due to H3N2 viruses. That is very early.”

The new vaccine formulation includes an H3N2 component that so far appears to be a good match to the strain in circulation so far.

“That can change. That can flip flop. But at least going into the season, that’s looking promising.”

She added that how well the vaccine fits the virus is only one of the factors that drives the effectiveness of flu vaccines.

The H3N2 vaccine effectiveness has traditionally hovered around 50 per cent, she added, so even if it’s well matched against what’s circulated, protection is not assured.

“It doesn’t mean that you are invincible if you get the vaccine, but I’m certainly expecting more decent protection than had I been picking up signals in the circulating virus that it was drifting away from the vaccine component.”

Skowronski said she hopes high-risk people in particular – the elderly and those with chronic medical conditions – aren’t dissuaded from taking the vaccine this time.

“The vaccine can be a life saver and it would really be a tragedy if they chose not to get the vaccine because one year happened to be a miss on the match.”

National statistics show the worst flu season of the last five years – 2014-15 – resulted in nearly 600 deaths across Canada and more than 7,700 hospitalizations from confirmed cases.

But Skowronski cautioned that any statistics of that sort grossly undercount actual deaths because most victims are never tested to confirm a flu virus.

For more information on who is eligible for free flu shots and where to get them see immunizebc.ca and the site’s flu clinic locator.

Anthony Hill

Created with Sketch.
Anthony Hill

Anthony Hill is the author of 15 books for both children and adults. Born in Melbourne in 1942, he has lived in and around Canberra for many years. A former journalist and speech-writer for the Governor-General, he is now a full-time author.

Antony’s Rich Literary Path

His first book was The Bunburyists (Penguin, 1985) telling how, with his wife and daughter, the family dropped out to run an antique shop in a country village for five years. This was followed by the highly successful Antique Furniture in Australia (Viking/Penguin, 1985) which was in print until very recently.

Anthony Hill began his books for children with Birdsong (1988), followed by the award-winning The Burnt Stick (Viking/Penguin) illustrated by Mark Sofilas. It was the Christian Children’s Book of the Year in 1995 and was awarded an honour book for Younger Readers by the Children’s Book Council of Australia.

Anthony Hill and Mark Sofilas produced Spindrift (Penguin,) a CBCA notable book for 1996, the same year in which Anthony Hill published The Grandfather Clock (Lothian). His collection of short stories Growing Up & Other Stories was published by Ginninderra Press in Canberra, and was a CBCA notable book in 1999.

In 2001 Anthony Hill published a best-selling biographical novel, Soldier Boy (Penguin), telling the true story of Jim Martin, the youngest-known Anzac. This won the 2002 NSW Premier’s Literary Award (Ethel Turner Prize) and was an honour book in the CBCA awards.

In February 2002 Penguin published a children’s ghost story, Forbidden, again illustrated by Mark Sofilas. In September that year Penguin also published another WWI biographical novel by Anthony Hill, Young Digger, as a companion book to Soldier Boy. It is the true story of a French war orphan, adopted as a mascot and smuggled to Australia by a returning air squadron in 1919.

The Shadow Dog, a memoir of Anthony Hill’s own dog, Sebastian, was published in 2003, illustrated by Andrew McLean. In March 2005 Penguin published Animal Heroes, a collection of 21 stories about the dogs, horses, pigeons, mascots and other animals who have served with Australia’s armed forces in peace and war from Gallipoli to the present.

In 2006 Anthony Hill published Harriet (Penguin), illustrated by Coral Tulloch. This book recreates the life of Harriet, a Galapagos tortoise, who died in Queensland only recently and was believed to be around 175 years old. Also published in 2006 was River Boy (National Museum of Australia Press), illustrated by Donna Rawlins. Part of the National Museum’s Making Tracks series, River Boy tells of Nat Shannon who runs away from his uncle’s farm to join the river boats. In 2007 Anthony published his first picture book for very young readers, Lucy’s Cat and the Rainbow Birds, illustrated by Jane Tanner, and this became a Notable Book in the Early Childhood category of the 2008 CBCA Awards.

With the assistance of a grant from the Australia Council, Anthony has researched and written a biographical novel based on the life of one the young servant boys who sailed with Captain Cook on board HM Bark Endeavour This latest book, Captain Cook’s Apprentice has won the NSW Premier’s 2009 Young People’s History Prize.

VA proposes hundreds of housing units plus services for homeless vets at West L.A. campus

VA proposes hundreds of housing units plus services for homeless vets at West L.A. campus
Veterans Affairs officials announced plans Thursday for extensive development of housing and services for veterans at the agency's West L.A. campus, which recentlyrefurbished its supportive housing. (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times)

Federal officials released a blueprint Thursday for transforming the long-neglected West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs campus into a residential community with hundreds of housing units for homeless veterans, offering some potential relief as Los Angeles struggles to deal with an increase in homelessness across the city.

The plan calls for construction of 1,200 permanent supportive housing units for disabled and traumatized veterans and more than 700 short-term units for homeless veterans in the midst of some of the city's toniest neighborhoods. Some permanent housing could open as soon as next year, officials said, perhaps by adapting some of the 388-acre property's historic buildings.

The proposed new community would mark one of the most significant efforts to create new housing for the region's rising homeless population, which is estimated to exceed 44,000 in Los Angeles County.

The proposal includes a village for women, many of whom suffered sexual trauma in the military, gardens where veterans can relax and grow their own food, theaters, sports fields and gym facilities.

Hammered out in months of meetings with veterans and community members, the project is also designed to serve as a beacon for non-homeless veterans, who can use the campus for recreation, cultural events and job development, as well as medical care, officials said.

"There's amphitheaters, recreation facilities, everything for the physical health, the mental health and the spiritual health of veterans," U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert A. McDonald said at a news conference.

"They are going to try to make a community out of it," said Steve Peck, president of U.S. Vets, a homeless veteran service group.

Mayor Eric Garcetti last year vowed to house all homeless veterans by the end of 2015, but has since pushed back that deadline to later this year. He said Thursday that the number of homeless veterans in the city had dropped to fewer than 800. A survey last year estimated that there were about 2,700.

Federal legislation must be approved to enable public-private partnerships to develop the housing. The development would be built on VA land and financed with public and private funds, backed by rent vouchers from the VA.

Officials said the housing and services, as well as hundreds of federal rent subsidies for veterans that have flooded Los Angeles in recent years, would reverse the area's distinction as the homeless veteran capital of the nation.

"This is the first tangible proof that veteran homelessness is on its way to becoming an oxymoron in Los Angeles," attorney Mark Rosenbaum of Public Counsel's Opportunity Under Law said at the news conference.

The proposed development satisfies a year-old settlement with disabled and traumatized homeless veterans whom Rosenbaum and a team of lawyers represented in a long-running lawsuit over VA care.

The plan would establish a framework for specialized family support and legal centers, mental health and addiction treatment, and an education and enterprise center to help reintegrate veterans into the community.

The family and legal centers would be developed in conjunction with UCLA, McDonald said. The university's Jackie Robinson Stadium has operated for years on the property at below-market rent of $60,000 a year.

Still to be decided is the fate of a city dog park, which operated rent-free and which some Brentwood residents and professional dog walkers had lobbied vigorously to keep. UCLA and the Brentwood School, whose athletic complex is on the land, also pursued a lobbying campaign in Los Angeles and Washington to maintain their lease rights.

"Those who have not become veteran-centric as we hope UCLA and the Brentwood School will be will have to leave," said Vince Kane, McDonald's senior advisor on homelessness.

In a written statement, UCLA said it had pledged to spend more than $1 million annually on the family center, an addiction treatment center and the legal clinic and $2 million over 10 years on recreation and mentoring programs. The university also said it would start new recreation and sports training programs, help with landscape and housing design and host a veterans baseball team at the stadium.

Some veterans were excited about the university and school sharing educational, health and sports facilities. But others assailed the VA, saying it had abandoned its promise to oust non-veteran tenants.

"Contrary to an exit, the illegal agreements were renegotiated to make them 'legal,' and the non-veteran occupants get to stay while our homeless veterans remain on skid row and back-alley squalor," said Robert Rosebrock, a veteran who has campaigned for years on behalf of homeless veterans.

The sprawling campus, an oasis of rolling greens wedged between Westwood and Brentwood, is the largest undeveloped property on the Westside.

Deeded in 1888 as a home for old soldiers by Arcadia Bandini de Baker, it was occupied by 5,000 veterans after the Korean War, officials said. By the 1980s, most veterans had moved out, and blighted clapboard and stucco buildings stood largely empty.

In 2005, the VA commissioned a study calling for hotels, medical tech companies and residences on the site to fund medical services. Development opponents including former Mayor Richard Riordan asked that the property be turned into the "greatest park in the world."

Congress stopped a sell-off, but 20 or more leaseholders — including a hotel laundry, bus parking and a movie studio storage lot — sprang up on the land.

A federal judge in August 2013 said the VA had abused its discretion by leasing land for purposes "totally divorced from the provision of heathcare." The government and UCLA vowed to appeal the decisions.

Subsequent investigations uncovered rampant mismanagement, including underbilling of leaseholders and improper diversion of funds, according to a Government Accountability Office report. A federal investigation was opened.

Former VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, under fire for long wait times at VA medical facilities, was replaced in July 2014 by McDonald, who said Thursday that he immediately ended the suit and promised a new land-use plan.

"I couldn't understand why a government agency responsible for caring for veterans was being sued by people for not doing their job," McDonald said.

Jaded by the years of neglect, some veterans said the VA would bow to pressure from the land's well-heeled and well-connected neighbors and drop much of the plan.

"The bottom line is Brentwood doesn't want a bunch of one-eyed, one-legged veterans in raggedy clothes to bring down their property values," said Dave Culmer, a former Marine and longtime veteran advocate.

Plan supporters acknowledged it would take years of oversight and advocacy to see the plan through.

"The building of the housing is key," said former Santa Monica Mayor Bobby Shriver, who was also part of the legal team. "The secretary promised us to our faces it would happen."

Jon Sherin, a doctor and former VA employee now working as a veterans advocate, said that the old soldiers' home was there before Brentwood.

"If you don't like the neighborhood, find a new home," Sherin said.
