Laurel Council approved a $34.2 million budget in May

Laurel Leader

Laurel City Council approved a $34.2 million operating budget — an increase of 6.7 percent from last year’s budget -- last month but did not increase tax rates.

The budget holds the city’s property tax rate at 71 cents (per $100 of assessed property value) and the personal property tax remains at $1.69 (per $100 of assessed property value).

A $6.1 million capital improvement program budget, with a focus on spending for street and infrastructure projects, was also approved.

Mayor Craig Moe presented the balanced budget to the council and it was approved with no changes needed by a 4-1 vote, , Moe said.

“I was very happy they approved it … I think there was good discussion and [the budget process] was open to the public,” Moe said.

Council President Michael Leszcz said the budget was scrutinized for over a month before it was approved. Leszsz and fellow council members Frederick Smalls, Keith Syndor and Valerie Nicholas voted in approval of the budget. Councilman Carl DeWalt voted against it.

“We must have an approved budget by June 1 and it needs to be balanced … we can’t spend more than what we get,” Leszcz said.

DeWalt said there were “numerous reasons” as to why he voted against the budget.

“The retirees within the city of Laurel have been ignored for many years,” DeWalt said. “They haven’t been offered a cost-of-living [adjustment] close to 23 years now and I’ve been trying to bring that to light.”

All city employees will receive a 2.5 percent cost-of-living adjustment under the approved budget. Employees could also receive a merit pay increase, based on performance, of up to 2.5 percent.

The budget also maintains funding for the police, public works and parks and recreation departments, according to Michele Saylor, director of budget and personnel services.

Three employees were added to the public works’ refuse crew for a total of 41 employees.

Moe said funding for the additional positions was important, as the city has grown and all areas need to be covered.

The capital improvement program is funding $3.9 million for streets, curbs and gutter upgrades and other infrastructure projects. The program funds are also contributing to the demand of cyber security, with funds to enhance current security measures and implement further procedures address unforeseen needs, according to a letter Moe sent the council.

Some of the program’s monies will also contribute to the city’s fleet equipment. The program’s budget proposes $643,500 to replace and purchase new vehicles including a mowing tractor. Funds collected from speed-camera fines will be used to replace six police cars.

The city’s fiscal year begins July 1.

This story has been updated to include comment from Councilman Carl DeWalt.

All Available Insurance Coverage-$100,000 –Awarded in Arbitration

Our client was 83 years of age; he lived alone and was very active. Our client was struck by a Signature Furniture’s delivery truck when he was crossing a street in Philadelphia. There are no “painted” crosswalks nor are there any traffic control devices at this intersection which has seven lanes at this location: two parking lanes, two bicycle lanes, two travel lanes, and a center lane which serves as a median.

The insurance carrier for the delivery truck company vigorously contested it’s driver’s responsibility. Baratta, Russell & Barattas’ (BRB) ability to prove the case was hindered by our client’s death due to unrelated causes before the arbitration and before his testimony could be preserved for trial purposes.

Although it was uncontested that our client was struck by the truck when he was about 15 feet into the roadway after stepping off of the curb, the defense alleged that our client stepped out in traffic and was not walking in the crosswalk. However, BRB was able to establish through the use of Police AID photos and expert accident reconstruction that our client’s blood & handkerchief were in the location where he was hit and that location was within the crosswalk area, albeit “unpainted”.

The delivery truck failed to stop and tried to drive around our client but, in the process, our client was hit in the head by the side view mirror of defendant’s truck knocking him to the ground. Through the efforts of BRB in carefully obtaining all possible available facts, and arguing that our client was in the de facto, albeit unmarked, crosswalk, the defense allegations were refuted and Plaintiff awarded all of the coverage available.

This case is just one more of the hundreds of examples of under-coverage tragedies. Signature Furniture did not have enough coverage and our client carried no underinsured coverage.

Our client suffered a fracture of his tibia & fibula, lacerations to the face and a brain hemorrhage. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital where surgery was performed on his leg with a plate and screws used to reduce the fracture. He remained in the hospital for about a month and then spent three months in rehab. He was subsequently discharged to his home where this independent, spirited man spent his final year of life in pain and dependent upon others for the first time in his life for shopping, cleaning, and taking care of many activities of daily living.

Our client died from unrelated causes approximately one year after the accident.

The parties agreed to submit the case for Arbitration.

An Arbitrator, Steve Negro, Esq., found in favor of our client and rejected the defense argument that he caused this incident. There was an award in favor of our client for the entire amount ($100,000) of Signature Furniture’s insurance policy.

Teaming Arrangements under the FAR

Under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 9.6, a contractor teaming arrangement is when:

  1. Two or more companies form a partnership or joint venture to act as a potential prime contractor; or
  2. A potential prime contractor agrees with one or more other companies to have them act as its subcontractors under a specified government contract or acquisition program.

Both of these arrangements have the potential to help small businesses increase the number of solicitations they can confidently bid on, but both also come with their own set of limitations to consider.

Small Business Set-Asides

The government regularly sets aside contracts dedicated exclusively to small businesses to provide the opportunity for competition between smaller companies; in these situations, larger corporations are excluded from the bid process. However, sometimes, small businesses are unable to compete for the contract alone due to their size and resources. This potential problem is where teaming arrangements come into play for small businesses trying to increase their involvement with government contracts. The Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations and the FAR provide small business contractors with several means to conduct a teaming arrangement that allows them to be competitive for the contract from the start. These different means to compete include ways to team up with other small businesses or even larger corporations. The most common arrangements are joint ventures and teaming agreements.

The use of these teaming arrangements does not come with its potential risks for contractors. Incorrect teaming arrangements can lead to violations of the SBA affiliation rules—which the SBA uses to analyze the relationships between a party competing for a small business set-aside contract and its partners to determine if they conform to the procurement’s applicable size requirements. Even the mere appearance of affiliation can lead to a small business spending significant time and money merely to prove they fall within the requirements for the agency to consider them for the contract.

Considerations for Joint Ventures vs. Teaming Agreements

Teaming arrangements can be a valuable tool for small businesses to use—allowing businesses to pool resources, management abilities, and technical knowledge. All of these elements help make a small business more competitive in the bidding process. However, if not done properly, the use of teaming arrangements can lead to adverse consequences with regard to their ability to satisfy the size standards of the set-aside contracts.

As mentioned above, the FAR recognizes two distinct forms of teaming arrangements—joint ventures and teaming agreements. These arrangements can be mutually beneficial to the small business and the government, but also can pose challenges to small businesses and their hopeful partners.

Joint Venture

When competing for a small business set-aside, small businesses should only use a joint venture (JV) in limited circumstances, as regulations presume that JV members are affiliated for size determination purposes (unless an exception applies).

Affiliation can be a significant concern for JVs because the parties are automatically affiliated with each other in regard to the contract’s performance. If the businesses still want to be able to compete for set-asides, a small business should only enter a JV with another business when the combined size does not exceed the size standard. However, the presumption of affiliation is lifted for JVs formed under SBA’s All Small Mentor Protégé Program or the 8(a) Mentor Protégé Program.

Teaming Agreements

The SBA authorizes small businesses to subcontract a portion of their set-aside contracts to large and small companies unless specifically prohibited by statute, regulation or solicitation. So, small businesses regularly take advantage of this ability by using teaming agreements. Teaming agreements allow small businesses to maintain their small business size standard while obtaining subcontracting assistance from other small businesses or even large corporations.Teaming Arrangements definition

Unlike JVs, members of the teaming agreement will not be presumed to be affiliated with each other based solely on their agreement. But, small business should ensure that they team only with parties that do not raise a significant appearance of affiliation. Thus, small businesses should avoid teaming agreements with parties that:

  • Share common ownership or control.
  • Have identical business and economic interests.
  • Would be deemed to form an “ostensible subcontractor” relationship based on tasks being performed by the prime contractor.

Commercial ebola vaccine 'unlikely' say researchers

Ebola virus
Image caption Ebola is one of the most feared viruses known to science

Scientists researching the lethal ebola virus have told the BBC that a commercial vaccine to prevent the onset of infection may never be developed.

Two companies with leading vaccine candidates have had their funding from the Pentagon suspended in recent weeks.

An expert said it was now "unlikely" a prophylactic vaccine would ever be used to prevent outbreaks of the disease.

Ebola is often described as the most frightening disease on Earth.

The virus causes a severe haemorrhagic fever, where victims bleed both internally and externally.

The virus attacks white blood cells and blood vessels, causing a rash, red eyes, severe abdominal pain and vomiting.

In recent weeks, an outbreak in western Uganda claimed the lives of at least sixteen people. There is no specific treatment and the virus can kill up to 90% of those who become infected.

Efforts to develop a vaccine have been funded in the main by the US Department of Defense and the National Institutes of Health. They have poured millions of dollars into scientific research because of concerns that the virus could be turned into a biological weapon.

As a result of this funding, several vaccine candidates have been developed and have shown themselves effective in animal trials.

Two companies, Sarepta and Tekmira have begun human safety trials of their vaccines.

But in recent days, both companies have been told by the Defense Department to temporarily stop work on their vaccines due to funding constraints. It is expected that a decision to either resume testing or completely terminate the contracts will be made by early September.

Scientists say their understanding of the nature of the virus has markedly improved over the past decade. But the chances of turning that knowledge into a vaccine are very dependent on money.

All about the money

Gene Olinger, a virologist at the US Army Research Institute of Infectious Disease at Fort Detrick in Maryland, told BBC News: "With the current funding, if it doesn't change, I would say there should be a vaccine in five to seven years. It could double or triple it if the funding goes away."

There is also a big concern over the lack of a large pharmaceutical company which might be willing to develop and market a vaccine for ebola. Since the disease was first discovered in 1976, slightly more than 2,200 people have been infected. And outbreaks have been almost impossible to predict.

Larry Zeitlin is the president of Mapp Biopharmacueticals, a small company involved in the development of a therapy for ebola. He says that since the disease is sporadic and extremely deadly, it limits the numbers of people who are affected. But it also limits the commercial potential of any therapy.

"I think it's unlikely that a large pharmaceutical company would get involved," he explained.

"There isn't a huge customer base and big pharma is obviously interested in big profits. So these niche products which are important for biodefence are really driven by small companies."

This uncertainty over funding and the absence of interest from large pharmaceutical firms is leading some scientists to argue that a preventative vaccine might never see the light of day.

Heinz Feldmann is one of the world's leading experts on ebola. He oversees haemorrhagic fever research at Rocky Mountain Laboratories in the United States. He strikes a realistic note about the prospects for a vaccine.

"Overall we've made great progress but unfortunately we are still far away from commercial use. It is hard to say when a vaccine might be available, if ever," he said.

Practical steps

Others are even more sceptical on the basis of the science. Larry Zeitlin says that the challenges in developing a working therapy and worries over a mass innoculation programme will severely limit any prospective ebola vaccine.

Image caption Ebola virus needs careful handling in highly secure labs

"I think it's unlikely you'll see a vaccine that's used in millions and millions of people to prevent the disease, that might only come about if the nature of the disease changed, if it became something spread through airborne contact more like the flu," he said.

While progress has been slow in developing new therapies or vaccines, experts say that big steps have been taken in learning how to manage outbreaks and trace the contacts of those who come down with the disease.

Gene Olinger believes the recent outbreak in Uganda shows that developing new drugs is not the only approach that can be successful against ebola.

"I think they have the infrastructure now to do their own diagnostics, they can then call in help when they need it," he explained.

"The rapid response we saw in the Uganda outbreak indicates they have a greater control over their ability to respond. That makes a big difference. They've done a really good job."

Michigan student charged in 'peanut butter hazing'

Andrew Seely Image copyright Seely family

A US student has been charged with smearing peanut butter in the face of an undergraduate who has a potentially deadly allergy.

Dale Merza, 20, is charged with misdemeanour hazing after the alleged attack last October on Andrew Seely, 19, at Central Michigan University.

Mr Seely, who was sleeping at the time of the incident, sought medical treatment for serous facial swelling.

The accused could get 93 days in jail and a $1,000 (£800) fine if convicted.

Mr Merza's legal representative told the Detroit Free Press his client, who was charged on Friday in Isabella County District Court, was innocent.

"This case has been blown way out of proportion by the individual's family members, who were not present and don't have any of the facts," lawyer Bruce Leach told the newspaper.

What is hazing?

It is an induction ritual meted out typically to new members of the US college men and women's social clubs known as fraternities and sororities, but also to military recruits.

The practice can include physical violence, sexual coercion, forced alcohol consumption, or degrading and dangerous "pranks" such as forcing people to eat vile food mixtures or consume large amounts of water.

It is illegal in most US states, amounting usually to a misdemeanour charge, unless there are serious injuries.

There has been a nationwide crackdown on hazing after high-profile deaths including that of Florida A&M University drumming student Robert Champion.

Why is hazing so common?

Mr Seely was targeted at an off-campus fraternity house, Alpha Chi Rho, which was sanctioned in 2011 for hazing incidents.

His mother, Teresa Seely, wrote about the alleged hazing in a viral Facebook post in March, saying: "He could have been killed."

The accounting student only told his family what had happened months afterwards. He blamed the incident for his decision to leave the college.

The teenager's father, Paul Seely, told CBS News his son could have been killed if the peanut butter had entered his mouth.

The Seely family said their son had made known to other members of the fraternity that he had a severe peanut allergy, for which he carries medication.

The National Fraternity of Alphi Chi Rho condemned the incident, saying it did not condone such behaviour.

"Alpha Chi Rho is appalled and upset by the actions taken by individuals against Andrew Seely," said its statement.

I'm usually not that comfortable around people until I know them well enough. I love good conversation, but I have to be past that awkward get-to-know-you stage in order for my guard to fall; unless I'm completely relaxed around a person and completely familiar with their energy, face-to-face conversation is a stilted chore. Complicating things further, I actually have mixed feelings about even getting to that stage of comfort: my sociability tends to drain easily, and if I'm particularly tired or under the weather, I tend to keep my interactions to a minimum until I feel better able to handle them.

I'm content to be the listener and not have much to add to the dialogue as long as the other person can manage to fill the silences. That said, I also need to be able to reach that occasional state where I'm comfortable enough to open up to them without feeling exposed or that I'm imposing. I just hope that my silent stretches aren't taken as a sign I don't value their company.

Every now and then, though, I get to know someone with whom I'm relaxed to the point of free-flowing conversation. It's rare enough to make me take notice whenever it happen; I may be ascribing some sort of non-existent meaning here, but I have to wonder whether some other form of chemistry's beginning to seep in, threatening to change something enjoyable into a loaded question.

I'm single; I decided long ago that looking for a partner isn't that high on my list of priorities, especially while I'm doing short term contract work. I can think of a million things on a neglected "to do" list that I should get on top of before making this kind of leap, and still a fair bit confused about who I am or where I'm going; a serious relationship would require a lot of investment that I'm not prepared to make right now. I'm also a little selfish and impulsive, with a strong need for my personal space; there are days when I would rather make sure I can buy a burrito for lunch than worry about being able to afford a coffee to facilitate awkward conversation with a stranger. Oh, who am I kidding? Burritos win every time, but that's not the point.

Attraction is scary. It develops by chance and circumstance, and the only control you have over it is whether you act on it. The potential rewards are amazing, but it requires making yourself vulnerable to potentially getting hurt. It may fundamentally and irrevocably alter how you and the other person feel about each other. To fully connect with another person, you have to strip off the facades you build to the world; if you know you're not prepared to do that, or are aware that a potential relationship would be a bad idea, these feelings suddenly coming along get more complicated.

Maybe part of the issue is that for me, the emotional attraction comes before the sexual attraction, and the rarity of that level of comfort I feel with someone to get to that point. I don't want to risk spoiling that, but by not letting myself appreciate a good thing for what it is, I wonder if I already have. Suddenly, I find myself monitoring what I say around them, second-guessing whether I've inadvertently tipped my hand. I don't want to get hurt, but am also afraid that I will be the one who inflicts pain. My instinct is to run.

A friend told me that there really is no such thing as the perfect time to deal with this, that it's something that you just have to allow to happen.

Someday I will.

The A B C’s of an effective Workplace Violence Prevention Program ~

A.  All four types of workplace violence identified by Cal-OSHA are known by our employees

1. “Type 1 violence” means workplace violence committed by a person who has no legitimate business at the work site, and includes violent acts by anyone who enters the workplace with the intent to commit a crime.
2. “Type 2 violence” means workplace violence directed at employees by customers, clients, patients, students, inmates, or visitors or other individuals.
3. “Type 3 violence” means workplace violence against an employee by a present or former employee, supervisor, or manager.
4. “Type 4 violence” means workplace violence committed in the workplace by someone who does not work there, but has or is known to have had a personal relationship with an employee.

B.  A Workplace Violence Prevention Plan which contains all Cal OSHA required seven (7) elements.

(1) Names or job titles of the persons responsible for implementing the Plan.
(2) Effective procedures to obtain the active involvement of employees and their representatives in developing, implementing, and reviewing the Plan, including their participation in identifying, evaluating, and correcting workplace violence hazards, designing and implementing training, and reporting and investigating workplace violence incidents.
(3) Methods the employer will use to coordinate implementation of the Plan with other employers whose employees work in the same health care facility, service, or operation, to ensure that those employers and employees understand their respective roles as provided in the Plan. These methods shall ensure that all employees are provided the training required by subsection (f) and shall ensure that workplace violence incidents involving any employee are reported, investigated, and recorded.
(4) Effective procedures for obtaining assistance from the appropriate law enforcement agency during all work shifts. The procedure may establish a central coordination procedure. This shall also include a policy statement prohibiting the employer from disallowing an employee from or taking punitive or retaliatory action against an employee for, seeking assistance and intervention from local emergency services or law enforcement when a violent incident occurs.
(5) Effective procedures for the employer to accept and respond to reports of workplace violence, including Type 3 violence, and to prohibit retaliation against an employee who makes such a report.
(6) Procedures to ensure that supervisory and non-supervisory employees comply with the Plan in accordance with Section 3203(a)(2).
(7) Procedures to communicate with employees regarding workplace violence matters,

C.  Policies and procedures must ensure the safety of our visitors, customers, vendors, contractors, and subcontractors as well.

How to Check RAM Speed in Windows 10

Some laptop models provide an additional RAM slot to allow you installing a new RAM. But before you buy a new RAM, you need to make sure that the RAM you want to buy has the same specs as the RAM already installed on you laptop.

How to check the specs of the installed RAM?

In Windows 10 (and other Windows versions), the most common way to check the specs of the installed RAM is by checking the System Properties. However, the displayed information on System Properties is not detail enough. The only information you get is the RAM capacity. There is no information about RAM speed and form factor.

To check the speed of the installed RAM in Windows 10, you can open Task Manager instead of System Properties. In addition to speed, you will also find other information regarding the installed RAM like form factor, the used slots, current RAM usage and so on.

Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and click the More details button to expand its window.

On the Task Manager window, click the Performance tab and select the Memory section. As you can see, there are some more detailed information about your RAM, including the speed which lies beneath the graph.

Installing a new RAM with the lower speed than the installed RAM can cause your laptop to be under performance. Your system might recognizes the newly installed RAM, but it can make your laptop runs slower because the first installed RAM will follow the lower speed.

"Slippery as an eel up here" I said aloud to nobody but myself as my front tire drifted out of the apex of the turn. The ground was baked hard as concrete, coated with a skim of dust, dried leaves and dead grass; a toxic combination with about as much traction as an air hockey table. This particular trail, carved laboriously into the side of a steep hill behind my barn over the previous two winters, is a narrow exercise in wheel placement and constant turns. It punishes lapsed concentration even when the traction is ideal. Traction had been far from ideal, blown-out and greasy, since June.

I locked the back wheel to slide it past the apex, hoping the front would find some bite as the rear let go, gave up leaning into tire edge knobs and drifted off the side of the trail and down the hill in a plume of dust. Sweating profusely in the almost 80-degree weather, I emerged from my own wreckage caked in dirt. It was Dec. 27, 2017.

It is pointless to complain about summer weather in California in December when the rest of the nation east of the Rockies was at that same time falling into the grip of a massive cold snap that would by early January be known as a 'Bomb Cyclone,' causing widespread and very real chaos from Maine to Florida. "Ohhh, you poor thing, you have to ride in a T-shirt and the trails are all hard and dusty. Should we call you a waaaahmbulance? It's -24 degrees here, so just shut your hole and let us deal with the real weather." That's what I imagined people in Marquette, Michigan, saying. We had been riding bikes there in October. It was an autumnal feast of varying traction and cool riding. As I type this, the daytime high in Marquette is 4 degrees Fahrenheit and snowing. They are probably breaking out shorts and sunscreen.

Photo: John Gibson

Playing in the medley of texture that Marquette offered—grippy rocks, slippery rocks, dry leaves, wet leaves, tacky soil, slimy mud, bony roots—then heading straight to another chunk of fall weather in North Carolina sent me back to California resentful of summer. The endless summer was becoming an endless bummer as first Napa got devoured by flames, then in December (December, for cryin' out loud!), Ventura and Santa Barbara went up in a quarter-million-acre blaze. As so many friends lost homes, it suddenly became meaningless to worry about whether the trails in Annadel State Park were going to survive, or if Tunnel trail in Santa Barbara got scorched. Mountain biking itself seemed like a luxury, a lucky act of strenuous leisure that we indulge in because we can afford the time and expense.

But there I was, looking the gift horse in the mouth. Not only was I fully indulging in the luxury of mountain biking, but I had the audacity to be complaining about the conditions. The story of the American West, from the Continental Divide all the way to within about 20 miles of the coast, up into Canada and down into Mexico, is one of deserts. Native cultures had deities and rituals based entirely around the fickle nature of water in this parched land. Massive and regular cycles of drought are punctuated by brief and violent phases of flood. Native vegetation clings to life with deep roots and thorns, draws water when it can and grips into rocks and dust the rest of the time, waiting. If I don't like sunburn and hanging dust, there's plenty of rain-soaked goodness on the rest of the planet. Love it or leave it, candyass.

Thing is, most of the time, I do love it. It took a long time, coming from the rain-lashed and muddy paradise of New Zealand, to get comfortable with deserts. By a long time, I mean a couple decades. But eventually, I fell in love with the astringent emptiness, the song of wind, the unforgiving precision with which a desert punishes the foolish. Deserts keep it real. Meanwhile, I live in a buffer zone between coast and desert, where one year it may rain 50 inches, and the next it may rain less than 10. One year it may be green for half the year, the dirt soft, the trails easy to build and easy to ride. The next year the ground may be bone-white and hard as stone for eight months, nothing growing but stickleburrs and thistles, and even those only make it a few months before turning into ghostly skeletons with tiny teeth. And I struggle with that unpredictability. In the dry years, I itch for soft dirt to dig, I pine for cold weather and I fall ever so slightly less in love with riding bikes.

In England, they have a different problem. The abundance of wet and miserable weather there is testament to the fortitude and passion of British mountain bikers that they ever bothered to start riding in the first place. Summer before last, my friend Chipps tells me that they went a solid three months when it rained every single day. Entire valleys flooded, the rainfall amounts so staggering that even now the ground remains saturated and unable to absorb moisture the way it used to. Still, in spite of the rain-soaked reality of his situation, I look at his muddy ride pictures on Instagram, and I envy him.

As I type this, the first rain of January is hammering the tin roof of the barn. The ground is sucking the water in like a drunkard. It is the first rain in two months here, closing out the driest December on record, and I am hoping that by the time these words get read, the soil will be dark and loamy, the grass green and lush. It is said, with regard to situational envy, that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Exactly. Ain't that the truth.

Satellites reveal divergent migration habits among Long-billed Curlews

Long-billed Curlew at Fort De Soto County Park, Tierra Verde, Florida, by geopix.
Long-billed Curlew at Fort De Soto County Park, Tierra Verde, Florida, by geopix.

Cinnamon-brown above, buff below, and large, Long-billed Curlew is always a welcome sight. Its ringing call is the quintessential sound of spring and summer on many midwestern and western grasslands.

Yet the bird’s population is small, its breeding range has shrunk, and many aspects of its biology remain unknown, leading it to be categorized as a species of high conservation concern in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Curlew conservation

Fellows, S. D., and S. L. Jones. 2009. Status assessment and conservation action plan for the Long-billed Curlew (Numenius americanus). U.S. Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, Biological Technical Publication, FWS/BTP-R6012-2009, Washington, D.C. (PDF)

To shed light on its migration patterns, Gary W. Page of Point Blue Conservation Science, Nils Warnock of Audubon Alaska, and other researchers recently netted over two dozen curlews at three widely separated breeding sites, outfitted them with satellite transmitters, and then tracked their movements over four years. The birds were captured in north-central Oregon, northeastern Nevada, and north-central Montana.

The Oregon birds flew straight south to agricultural regions of California’s Central Valley, while the Nevada birds traveled either to the Central Valley or to the northern Gulf of California or the west coast of Baja California.

The Montana breeders, by contrast, migrated more than twice as far, they stopped more often and longer, and they wintered across a broader range than the birds from the other areas.

The Montana curlews navigated along the east slope of the Rocky Mountains to the Texas panhandle or northeastern New Mexico. Then, after a lengthy stopover, they continued southeast to the Gulf coast, to Laguna Madre in South Texas and the northeastern state of Tamaulipas in Mexico, or veered southwest to destinations on the Mexican Plateau.

“None of the Montana curlews migrated to the wintering areas of Oregon or Nevada birds, even though that course could have shortened their migration routes,” write the researchers. “Possibly the risk of crossing over the precipitous Rocky and Sierra mountain ranges is too high.”

The birds’ stopovers on the southern High Plains or northern Mexican Plateau lasted from one to three months. “These layovers seemed much longer than necessary to accumulate reserves for subsequent flights of only 400–1100 km farther south, and may instead have been made by birds undergoing prebasic molt, an energetically costly process.”

Page and his team published their findings in The Condor: Ornithological Applications, the journal of the Cooper Ornithological Society.

Manager Arsene Wenger maintains he has given no thought to trying to bring Thierry Henry back on a short-term loan deal in January, but admits it is "an honour and a pleasure" to have the former captain back at the club.

The Gunners legend, 34, is currently training at London Colney to keep up his fitness levels following New York Red Bulls' exit from the Major League Soccer Cup at the hands of David Beckham's Los Angeles Galaxy.

Henry was an integral part of Wenger's 'Invincibles' squad of 2003/2004, going on to become Arsenal's record goalscorer before leaving to join Barcelona in the summer of 2007.

Theoretically, the former France World Cup winner could sign a short-term deal with his old club before the new MLS campaign starts up again, much like Beckham did when playing for AC Milan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of our most frequently asked questions and their answers? If you have a question that is not listed here, please email us at info@blindsonthenet.com.au or call 1300 852 912

Q: Do my blinds come with all fittings to install my blinds?
A: All Blinds on the Net™ blinds come with all the fitting brackets and child safety devices that are required. The only thing that we don’t supply you with is the screws as you will need to get the right screw for what your windows are made from. (i.e. for wooden window frame, get wood screws) If you go to your local hardware store, just let them know what you are installing your blinds into and they will get you the right screws.

Q: Am I able to get just slats only for my vertical blinds?
A: We don’t currently offer this service as we have found that our complete blind is cheaper than other will charge you to just replace the slats. Also, not every top hanger will fit every track so it’s best to get a new track when looking at replacing new blinds as tracks do wear out.

Q: What is the best blind to reduce noise?
A: Go for a Blockout blind, Roman will do the best job, or otherwise have a look at our curtain range. These will also be excellent at blocking out noise. For the best noise protection, look at our Day/Night Roller blinds as this basically gives you 2 blinds to stop noise.

Q: What product allows me to see out by day and also give me privacy by night?
A: Unfortunately no one has come up with a fabric that gives you visibility and privacy by day and night; we do however have the next best thing! Our Day/Night Roller blinds allow you to use our Rollscreen fabric in conjunction with a Blockout (Metroshade, Focus, Serengetti, and Suede) or translucent fabric (Palm Beach/Softlight/Serengetti). This means you can have the Rollscreen down during the day to give you sun protection but maintaining your view. Then by night you simply roll down the Blockout blind to give you night time privacy as well as blocking out the morning sun!

Q: What is your warranty and how do you compare to other top name brands?
A: The quality of the Blinds on the Net™ blinds is comparable to all the top name brands. We are very selective with the products we put our name to and we set our selves a very high standard. This means that you get the best possible product at the best possible price. In addition, the guarantee and warranty we provide exceeds those offered by most name brands.

Q: How Blockout are your Blockout fabrics?
A: Anything that is called “Blockout” on our website is 100% Blockout. This means that no sun will pass through the fabric. In recess fits you will have some light gaps around the sides to allow for running clearance but we use the best system on the market and this means the light gaps are kept to a minimum.

Q: Can people see in through your Rollscreen, Screen Roman and Panel Screen blinds?
A: The simple answer is no, not by day. During the day when the light is greater outside, you have a very clear vision but no one can see in. This effect is reversed by night. This is the same with every screen style fabric. If you want privacy but still want to have light coming into the room then look at our translucent fabrics.

Q: How secure is your credit card online payment facility?
A: Our website uses a company called Paystream to do all of our transactions and this site is 100% secure and trusted. We never keep any credit card details as this is a security risk. If you do not feel comfortable using the credit card Paystream option, then we also accept Cheques or Direct deposits. Just click on the direct Deposit button rather than the Credit card button at the payment stage. Just don’t forget to let me know you are putting money into the account.

Q: Do you keep my credit card details?
A: In the interest of keeping your records safe, we keep no record of your credit card details.

Q: How long will it take to get my blinds?
A: For all ready made blinds, delivery usually takes no longer than 5 working days, for all made to measure blinds, production takes about 8-10 working days and then please allow a few days shipping. Our factory is based in Melbourne so for customers living in Victoria, the travelling time will be far less so you will get faster delivery than our customers in other states. Sydney Metro area is usually on a next day basis but this is not a guaranteed service so I would suggest leaving 2 days.

Q: Is it possible to change my order after I confirm the order?
A: Yes it is, so long as we have not started making the order, anything is possible! We will endeavour to do our best, however if the job is already cut and in production, it is hard to make your blinds bigger, we are however able to trim most blinds down for a small charge.

Q: If I don’t want to pay via credit card, what other payment methods do you offer?
A: We try to make payment as easy and safe as possible for you. We obviously have our safe and secure Paystream website to deal with credit card payments, but for those who don’t have a credit card or feel a little wary of using them inline, we also have direct deposit services available. You can also post us a cheque and as soon as the funds are cleared, we will process your order. Cheque and Direct deposit may add a day or 2 onto the delivery time as we have to wait for funds to clear into our account before we can put your blinds into production.

Q: What if my blinds arrive damaged?
A: All blinds that arrived damaged must be signed for as damaged and of course we will make sure they get replaced. We may require these blinds to be returned so please keep them safe.

Q: How are my blinds delivered and what if im not home?
A: All our blinds are delivered via courier and it is always best to use a work address or an address where you will know that someone will be there to sign for the goods. If you are not at home for the delivery, our courier will usually leave a note asking you to call them to arrange a convenient time to redeliver. However we don’t like blinds going back and forth as this adds time to the delivery and increases the risk of damage.

Q: How do I measure my windows and what if I measure then incorrectly?
A: Blinds on the Net offers a measuring guide for your convenience and we are always available to call if you have any questions. Call us on 1300 852 912 and we may be able to offer a solution to your problem. If we can’t, Blinds on the Net™ will remake you blind at a greatly reduced rate. We do not what to profit from your misfortune.

Q: What are your opening hours?
A: We are open 24 hours a day online for receiving blinds orders and sample orders but are only available 9am - 5pm Monday – Friday for customer service via telephone and email. We do however check emails on most weekends so you can sometimes get an email reply over the weekend!

Q: Can we get samples of the fabrics as Im not sure how accurate the colours are on your website?
A: Yes, we offer a FREE sample service, just click on the product you are interested in (i.e. Metroshade roller blind) then click on the button.

Q: Are you able to come and do a measure and quote?
A: At Blinds on the Net™, we concentrate our efforts on making it as easy as possible for you to measure and quote yourself. As this allows us to keep our margins low, you benefit from these saving! If you need any help when online, then please just give us a call as we can walk you through every step of the way.

Q: What is your refund and returns policy?
A: Please click here to see our Delivery and Terms policy.

Q: Why are your ready made blinds cheaper than your made to order blinds?
A: Our ready made blinds and ready made curtains are exactly that, ready made and mass produced so that this allows the prices to be kept low. Our made to measure or custom made blinds are also manufactured to a higher standard using better quality components. This is why we have a longer lead time for Made to Measure blinds.

Q: Are your blinds 100% made to measure or are they cut down blinds?
A: At Blinds on the Net™ we hate the “cut down” philosophy. This is basically a Chinese ready made blind that is a very low quality blind that is then chopped down to size. This means you don’t get a consistent blind at the end of the day and the quality level is far less. All our blinds are sold as either ready made blinds or 100% made to order, we strive for a higher quality level and this may mean we are not the cheapest on the market. We do however strive to keep our quality high so your blinds

Q: What do you mean by inside & outside mount?
A: This refers to the way in which the treatment will be hung, either inside or outside the window opening. Inside mounts are mounted inside the window opening that is recessed from the wall. Outside mounts hang outside the window opening either on the wood frame or above and beyond the wood frame. Inside mount is the most common way to hang blinds today and provides a nice, clean look. Outside mounts are great for doors or windows with a very shallow windowsill depth. An outside mount can also be used to make a window appear larger or to hide an unattractive window. For more information on this please click here to go to our MEASURING GUIDE section

Q: How should a roller blind should be installed so that when rolling it up will roll up in a uniform manner and not drift to one side? Is there a built in control measurement or should the blind need to sit absolutely level when installed?
A:Level is of course the best but there is a way to help guide the fabric straight. Work out which was the fabric is tracking off, Unwind all the fabric off the tube so that you can see the aluminium tube underneath, place a piece of masking tape (or similar) onto the tube at the opposite end to the way the fabric is rolling off. This increases the diameter of the tube slightly at the other end. Thus making the blind wind faster on the tape side and rectifying the fabric running off. Sometimes you need to test this and maybe add a few more pieces of tape, depending on how much out the window level is.

Q: What happens if my order is damaged in delivery?
A: Unfortunately from time to time accidents can happen and with freight companies, its sometimes unavoidable. We mainly use TNT for our freight as they have proved to be the best of a bad bunch. However, we highly recommend that you take out the option of Freight Insurance at the checkout. This is offered as an optional extra and covers any damage or loss to blinds whilst in transit and is only $1.25/$100 of Value. So if you spend $200, your blinds will be covered for an additional $2.50. Not bad for a little bit of extra piece of mind.

If for any reason your blinds are damaged, please ensure that you sign for them as damaged. Sometimes the boxes may be damaged and the blinds inside are perfect, so we always recommend signing for them as damaged if you have any concerns. We will also need to have some photos of the damaged goods sent to us via email to claim on the insurance. Unfortunately blinds that are not insured and get damaged or lost in transit cannot be returned or replaced.

In the checkout you will find a drop down box saying Yes ($) or No, please select Yes ($) to accept the freight insurance. By selecting the NO option, you have removed any right to claim for damages or loss of your goods with Blinds on the Net™. For this reason we strongly recommend taking out the insurance.

Q: What happens if my order is lost in delivery?
A: Level is of course the best but there is a way to help guide the fabric straight. Work out which was the fabric is tracking off, Unwind all the fabric off the tube so that you can see the aluminium tube underneath, place a piece of masking tape (or similar) onto the tube at the opposite end to the way the fabric is rolling off. This increases the diameter of the tube slightly at the other end. Thus making the blind wind faster on the tape side and rectifying the fabric running off. Sometimes you need to test this and maybe add a few more pieces of tape, depending on how much out the window level is.
