Scientists and tech businesses are celebrating the opening of the Thames Valley Science Park in Shinfield.

The first building to be completed on the site, the Gateway Building, was opened on Thursday, March 1.

The park, owned by the Univesity of Reading, costs a total of £35 million, and once complete will be a destination for business, science and healthcare innovation.

Current businesses already at the park in Collegiate Square, South Avenue, Shinfield, Berkshire,
include BioInteractions Limited, Covance, Sage People and Clasado BioSciences.

The science park offers tenants high-speed digital infrastructure, as well as a café, conference halls and flexible meeting spaces.

Speaking at the opening of the park, Sir David Bell, vice-chancellor of Reading university said: "The Thames Valley Science Park is the first of its kind in the region, and a sign of the university's commitment to investing in the economy.

"Its location just outside London – and close to major transport hubs like the M4, Reading Station and Heathrow – will attract new UK and international businesses to the area, in turn creating more jobs and wealth.

"The launch is the culmination of many years of hard work.

"It also represents an exciting moment for the university as it further enhances its reputation for excellence – locally, nationally and internationally."

Dr David Gillham, director of Thames Valley Science Park, added: "I am hugely proud that the Thames Valley Science Park is now open for business.

"From the outset, our aim has been to create a community of ambitious like-minded companies who have an ability to make a genuine difference to the local region and the wider world.

"Some of our tenants have already moved in and the rest will follow in the coming months.

"A number of them began their relationship with the University many years ago, as they are currently located in our facilities on the Whiteknights Campus.

"It has been wonderful to see these companies grow and now expand into the bigger premises that the Science Park can offer them."

The science park is so vast - stretching over 800,000 square foot - that it has to be built in phases.

Once complete, it is hoped that 5,000 new jobs will be created, with employees working in a total of 16 buildings.

Reading university initially invested £30 million in the park, with an additional £5 million coming from the European Union's European Regional Development Fund.

Top 5 of 2005

I didn’t buy too much music this year, so this is a top five rather than a top ten; that way I actually have to make some choices. British Sea Power’s second album, Open Season, has some great moments but didn’t make the cut because of its inconsistency: when it’s great, it’s really great, but it’s less than wonderful a bit too often. Takk…, the latest Sigur Rós release, has the same ethereal beauty as their previous albums, but look too hard at it and you realise there isn’t really anything there. One possibly unfortunate exclusion is Held on the Tips of Fingers, the Mercury-nominated second album from jazz group Polar Bear. I bought their excellent first effort, Dim Lit, but haven’t picked up the more recent one yet; if I had, it might well have made its way onto the list. Ah well. Leaving the best of the rest aside, here are my picks of the year, in reverse order.

The National, Alligator

PopMatters reviewed this twice: the acerbic first review is very harsh, but the second lines up fairly well with my experience. My first listen-through was underwhelming, and the album didn’t really cross my mind for a week or so. Then I stumbled across it again, and suddenly it clicked. The variety of styles is what makes the record: get stuck in any one of them for too long and I suspect you’d get bored, but the shifting approaches give it an enjoyable freshness of perspective. As Mark Horan puts it, “an excellent batch of melodic, well-executed songs with a lot of subtext lurking just beneath the surface.”

Richmond Fontaine, The Fitzgerald

I bought this on the recommendation of Uncut magazine, and haven’t regretted it for a moment. This interview with Willy Vlautin gives some of the background to the making of the album, written during a two-week stay in the The Fitzgerald Casino hotel. One impressive quality is the sparseness of the arrangements, and how despite this—or perhaps because of it—it’s powerful and affecting, with outstanding songs like ‘Welhorn Yards’ and ‘Exit 194b’. The Fitzgerald is quietly spellbinding: I’d have rated it higher but for the fact that it can be intensely depressing, so I don’t listen to it as often as some of the others listed here.

Roots Manuva, Awfully Deep

Existential hip-hop with a large dollop of Ginsberg, Stockwell’s finest has fashioned a record of echoes: rhythm and word trace the inside of the skull in a spiritual dialectic. Personal favourite ‘A Haunting’ opens with a sound like the ripping of an electronic curtain, and a cold shudder goes through the song. Muted trumpets herald rippling words that wind through rhythmic drumbeats with quiet certainty. “With synchronicity / Gold-skinned paraphrase / Mystic maze of sonic mathematics / The acrobatics on a tightrope that near-broke the spine / Time for time / Line for line / Random as the wind chime.” As always, the BBC provides additional insight.

Bloc Party, Silent Alarm

Bands suffer from being overhyped, and Bloc Party are no exception. However, the ravages of the NME’s adoration aren’t sufficient to erase the fact that this is a superb album. When I first heard it, I was blown away, but after a few listens I became jaded: it felt like a mediocre piece of work held together by technical virtuosity. It took some months before I began to properly appreciate it again. It needs to be listened to at a reasonable volume, or you’ll lose the immersive effect of their trademark sound: straining vocals wrapped tight around taut guitar lines. ‘Like Eating Glass’ and ‘Banquet’ are the obvious examples, but to my mind ‘She’s Hearing Voices’ is the pinnacle of this approach. However, the looser melody of ‘So Here We Are’ shows that Bloc Party have more than one trick, the words floating on a guitar sound that doesn’t quite shimmer, but ripples alluringly.

The Arcade Fire, Funeral

Although technically a 2004 release, the Arcade Fire’s debut reached these shores in early 2005 and has stayed at the top of this list throughout the year. There’s not much I can say that hasn’t already been said about Funeral; I’ve heard it described as a concept album, and that’s not too far from the truth. Their Wikipedia entry has a number of excellent links if you want to read up on them. I saw them live in May, at the Bristol Academy, and was entranced: the sheer passion of the band is incredible. These people believe in their music, and their music is as beautiful as it is tragic. A masterpiece; I can’t wait for the next album.

Alternative voices

This is the time of year when everyone breaks out their “Best Of” lists, so now you’ve read mine, here are some links to a few more. The list may grow somewhat over the next few days; keep your eyes peeled.

A final note: if you see any huge omissions from my list, anything I’ve not mentioned, tell me in the comments—I’m always open to expanding my musical horizons. Maybe in 2006 I’ll find a bit more time for browsing, buying and listening. Here’s hoping…

I’ve only heard the Polar Bear album when I worked at HMV. It was very very good, but I have excluded from the list (like a few others) because I don’t possess the record itself. (Like the roots manuuva record too)

No problems from me about your choices. Indeed three of your top five will probably make my own list. What we should both do is top albums of the year we listened to year after, because of best of lists.

Last year I missed a host of records of my best of 2004 list ( Futureheads, Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies etc.

Expect my list shortly.

Hey There,
I posted a list of my own favorite albums of 2005 on my blog (, with about 30 or so items, and some of them may be to your liking. I listed Bell Orchestre, which features members of the Arcade Fire. Perhaps there will be some things you haven’t heard and may want to check out?

~ beth

I’ve added both of you to the list, along with a few more 9rulers who brought their own lists to my attention. Cheers.

~ Benedict

Fishy, while you certainly can’t see him in concert anymore, I suggest you find a Nick Drake album and give it a listen.

“IoT electrical signature analysis for canned motor pumps”

There are billions of electric motors worldwide, 300 million of which are critical to the safety, production or service continuity of their owners/operators/users. A significant share is used to power pumps. However, they incur an average of 180h of unexpected downtime per year that lead to lost productivity, high maintenance and repair costs, or even critical safety and environmental issues (e.g. chemical spill, unavailable firefighting water pumps).

After the warranty period, up to 80% of pump failures occur due to rolling element bearings, seal failure or electrical unbalance causing heat and lubricant degradation. Industrial companies have usually dealt with this issue either by:

  • Running costly preventative maintenance programs and/or specifying monitoring systems (often relying on vibratory analysis)
  • Specifying, when possible, more reliable canned motor pumps, that use plain bearings and are hermetically sealed.

The OPPA project aims at applying the next generation of IoT predictive maintenance technology (electrical signature analysis) to the most advanced and reliable pump design currently available (canned motor pumps) and explore the opportunity to launch a solution able to:

  • Act as a monitoring system in normal operating condition,
  • Warn the operator ahead of any type of critical event so that it can react in time.

If successful, and once combined into a single offering, this has the potential to redefine the state-of-the-art in terms of reliability and monitoring for industrial pumping applications.

About the two companies:

Since 2015, ECO-ADAPT has been developing Predict-Adapt, an electrical analysis solution that has already been developed, tested and deployed on numerous machines on bench and in operating conditions.

OPTIMEX is a canned motor pump designer and manufacturer in activity since 1998 with more than 800 references. Its pumps are already well proven systems on the market.

Trinity's first free online course explores 1912-1923

Trinity College Dublin has launched its first free online course, and I suspect a lot of family historians will be interested in it.

Called  Irish Lives in War and Revolution: Exploring Ireland’s History 1912-1923, the six-week MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) has been created in partnership with FutureLearn.

The course invites learners to explore the lives of men, women and children living through war and revolution and examines the political and social changes that made modern Ireland. By engaging with original sources, textual, visual and aural, and encountering contradictory viewpoints, participants will also learn about the contested nature of all history, and the challenges facing historians.

Professor Ciaran Brady, Dr Anne Dolan and Dr Ciarán Wallace from Trinity’s School of Histories and Humanities will lead the course, which will start on 1 September and is accessible via FutureLearn to anyone with internet access across multiple devices – computers, mobile phones or tablets.

This collaboration will provide access to Trinity's quality education to students worldwide.

You can register on the course here.

There's more about the course in the short video (just over 3 mins) below.

There has been a massive surge in people planning staycations here and searching for holiday homes around the country, new figures have revealed.

The major rise in demand came as lockdown restrictions were eased recently– with a 112% jump in activity on the property website in June.

The most in-demand holiday destination was Co Kerry (up 107%), while Sligo, which may be capitalising on its association with ‘Normal People’, came second.

Co Galway was very popular (up 83%) in online searches, while Clare (up 57%) and Donegal (up 45%) proved to be highly sought locations.

The west fared best as searches soared compared to demand for Dublin holiday homes, which increased marginally, up by just 6%, compared to June last year.

Angela Keegan, Managing Director of, said: “These findings reflect the huge pent-up demand that exists among people after three months of lockdown, which will have a much-needed knock-on effect for a hospitality sector that has suffered badly as a result of Covid-19 restrictions. “People need a holiday to look forward to after a tough year, and it looks like the domestic economy will benefit from the Government’s continued guidance to avoid non-essential foreign travel.”

The staycation trend looks set to benefit most tourism hotspots around the country this summer -if the Covid-19 infection rate can continue to be brought under control.

However, during March and April, when stringent lockdown restrictions were in place, there was a noticeable slump in Irish holiday home searches.

There was a steep 48% fall in online activity during the third month of the year, while the following four-week period saw a 41% decline.

But, as the reproduction rate of the deadly bug plummeted after April the online activity and demand for booking holidays here steadily grew.

There was a 28% increase in searches in May for Irish holiday homes compared with the same month in 2019 as the roadmap for lockdown easing began.

When I first heard that Gold were remaking three lost episodes of Dad’s Army, my immediate thought was: “Well, I’m not in these!”

These stories, which were wiped from the BBC archives in the 1960s, were from series two and my character didn’t arrive until series three.

But I will admit, I did think: “This is a risk.” I was worried fans might not enjoy seeing a new set of actors playing the likes of Captain Mainwaring and Sergeant Wilson, originally portrayed by Arthur Lowe and John Le Mesurier.

Having had a small part in the 2016 Dad’s Army film with the likes of Toby Jones, I thought the actors in the movie played interpretations of the characters because the script was not by the show’s creators David Croft and Jimmy Perry, who are no longer with us.

However, these remakes are different. They are original episodes from the original writers.

Frank says he couldn’t have been happier among the likes of TV greats Arthur Lowe (Captain Mainwaring), John Le Mesurier (Sgt Wilson) and Clive Dunn (Cpl Jones), to name just a few

I watched The Loneliness of the Long Distance Walker and immediately thought they really got the style and camera angles right.

David often thought the best moments on film were when he captured the reactions from the actors being spoken to – rather than those saying the lines. Like when Wilson pulls faces as Mainwaring is talking to him. And vice versa.

I couldn’t wait to watch the other two episodes straight after.

Gold and the cast have done a marvellous job. I am sure fans will love it too.

Frank Williams said initially he was worried fans might not enjoy seeing a new set of actors playing the likes of Captain Mainwaring and Sergeant Wilson

In fact when I was watching them I did get a bit carried away and actually thought I was watching the real thing.

I truly think if they were around to see it, Croft and Perry would approve. The new team have done them justice.

They have captured the essence of the show. It was quite incredible. It was fascinating how they did it. I even forgot the episodes were in black and white when they first aired.

The relationship between Mainwaring and Wilson (Kevin McNally and Robert Bathurst) was so accurate. I thought Kevin Eldon as Jonesy was spot on. He was just like Clive Dunn.

Dad's Army: The Lost Episodes - The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Walker

And I loved Timothy West as Godfrey. It was a surprise to see the verger pop up in A Stripe For Frazer which is aired tonight. It reminded me he was in the show longer than I was.

I think they have also done a marvellous job recreating the church hall and Mainwaring’s office.

And it is good they recorded in front of a live audience like we used to.

I am also pleased Under Fire, which goes out tomorrow, kept the anti-Nazi jokes. They are funny. They are jokes against the Nazis – not anti-German. That’s an important distinction.

Video Loading

I do find this whole idea that Dad’s Army is to blame for Brexit as rather absurd.

It’s no surprise that this show has followed me through the years, even though it actually ended in the 1970s.

I have been mistaken for a vicar too. I was once asked to perform a marriage ceremony for a couple, and I had to let them down gently that I wasn’t a real priest. People often ask me: “Why are the episodes still so popular?” I think it is nostalgia and they capture a time when, although we were at war, everyone was pulling together.

And it’s a family show with no bad language, a few innuendos and slapstick.

Robert Bathurst as Sergeant Wilson

Kids love it too. I went to a talk at a church recently and when I got to the vicarage a gentleman said: “I want you to meet your youngest fan.”

It was his three-year-old grand-daughter and he said: “She prefers Dad’s Army to Postman Pat.”

I have since found out that so many children watch the show. It’s lovely.

I think the nicest thing about these Gold remakes is fans can now slot the three lost episodes into their Dad’s Army collections to complete the whole set. They really do work.

Now, as the vicar himself might say, “Be quiet, Mr Yeatman” – I want to watch them again!

Employee Wellbeing Programs: Make Your Team Members Happy Campers

ITA Group
ITA Group

In a WorldatWork Trends in Employee Recognition report, 80% of respondents said their organizations have budgets for employee recognition and employee engagement programs. These aren’t just “feel good” programs, either—they’re recognition and wellbeing programs that drive real results. Programs that help create wellbeing, including recognition for above-and-beyond performance or peer-to-peer recognition programs that motivate specific behaviors, are becoming more popular.

Stand Up For Employee Wellbeing

At ITA Group, we’re getting in on the wellness program action. For example, we just completed a wellness program to get people to stand more at their sit-to-stand workstations during the workday. “Get up! Stand up! Stand Up for Your Health!” Not exactly Bob Marley’s song, but this theme was a fun way to encourage people to spend at least part of the day standing. We know sedentary lifestyles lead to all sorts of health issues, such as cardiovascular disease and related illnesses. Standing helps because it can increase energy and burn extra calories. And with global studies indicating that people sit 7.7 hours a day on average (with some people sitting an average of 13 hours a day), it’s time to consider changing it up. In our stand-up activity, team members “caught” standing had their names thrown in a hat for some cool prizes. People got into the spirit of it, and by the end of the wellness program, we saw one-third of the workforce standing at their workstations at some point during the day.

Obesity, smoking, depression, heart disease—they all inflict health and wellness consequences on employees, so it’s critical for employers to curb this trend. It will take some effort by management to help their employees make better choices and begin to change bad habits, but there can also be a significant return on value measured in terms of absenteeism, presenteeism, employee retention, employee and customer satisfaction and more.

For instance, to help team members be attuned to their own health, our company started providing biometric screenings back in 2008. To boost participation in the screenings, we offered an incentive that resulted in an 84% increase. And in 2014, the collective savings for team members totaled well over $100,000!

Employee Wellbeing Makes Happy Employees

Take the first steps toward change by enhancing your current incentive or recognition programs that encourage employees to make better decisions regarding their health. Start with something fun like the “Stand Up For Your Health” initiative and add more wellness programs throughout the year. The WorldatWork report shows that companies implementing two or more such recognition programs believe they are meeting their objectives or goals. In addition, each time the number of programs goes up, reports of success increase by 6 to 12 percentage points! Employee wellbeing, motivation and satisfaction also improve with each added program.

Happy employees are those with a high level of wellbeing. They’re more productive and more likely to stay and help fuel a profitable company—all while making stockholders happier, too. It’s no longer about employee recognition or employee wellness, but rather about playing an active role in enhancing their wellbeing by balancing different factors, developing and making use of resources, and responding to issues blocking productivity and employee engagement.

Should You Create a New Wellbeing Program?

WorldatWork indicates that 47% of those surveyed are considering implementing new or additional recognition or wellbeing programs in the next year. It makes sense to integrate strategic employee engagement programs to ensure they’re mutually dependent. Just as importantly, one platform for communication and administration helps balance the needs of a multigenerational workforce. Designing an overarching employee engagement program that integrates traditional recognition programs with safety, wellness, financial and communal initiatives will help maximize the wellbeing and productivity of your employees.

Trade union take on SDG implementation - Republic of Congo

While the government has consulted selected stakeholders in its implementation of the 2030 Agenda, trade unions have been excluded from this process. Trade unions note some areas of progress but also outline many barriers, most prominently to achieving decent work, ending poverty and achieving gender equality. However, unions stress the need for strategically targeted capacity building and education to build a stronger and better skilled labour force. Trade unions also alert to the need to address child labour, which is notably linked to ongoing humanitarian crises in the region.

Duval County athletic director Jon Fox's proposal to save school sports from another painful round of budget cuts was unveiled on Tuesday with the possibility of athletes paying to play sports now on the table.

Fox's presentation to the Duval County School Board included a three-tiered plan that would come close to addressing a projected $500,000 shortfall in the budget for sports. At the forefront of the proposal is a $75 participation fee, which would apply to any student wishing to participate in sports who is not on free or reduced lunches. Students who fall into the free and reduced lunch category - 55.3 percent, according to Fox - would be exempt from the charge.

"I'm not going to tell you this plan is perfect. Far from it," said Fox, who made the presentation in an afternoon budget workshop. "In a perfect world, there would be no participation fees; we have to deal with the world that we're in, though."

Another part of the proposal is to limit out-of-county travel to a 50-mile radius, which would preserve opponents in St. Johns, Baker, Clay, Putnam and Alachua counties, yet reduce costly road trips that often require overnight stays. The third part calls for an $8,000 reduction in supplemental pay at each school.

In total, Fox's proposal accounts for $442,143 for the 2012-13 school year. That leaves a shortage of $57,857 to be addressed.

Duval County Public Schools spokeswoman Jill Johnson said the board will take Fox's proposal into consideration when looking at the budget as a whole. The athletics portion is just a sliver of the projected deficit of $53,265,124.

"Right now, it's just one of the options," she said of Fox's proposal. "The board wanted it [the information] so they could move forward with the overall review of our budget shortfall. It's not set in stone or done."

Overall, the reaction to Fox's proposal seemed positive, especially to waiving the fee for students on free and reduced lunches.

"That was the challenge, I was having a real hard time getting comfortable with the scenario [of making everyone pay the fee]," Fox said. "I don't ever want a kid to not be able to [participate] because of economic circumstances."

While the pay-for-play option had been talked about in the past, there just wasn't enough supporting evidence to justify it. Fox made it clear to the board that he wasn't in favor of calling it pay-for-play because the district isn't asking students and their families to absorb the total cost. Had that been the case in 2011, Fox said, the district would have had to charge every varsity football player $455.19 to cover expenses for a head coach, seven assistants and transportation. Volleyball players would've been asked to contribute $336.92.

Fox was told to explore the possibility of a pay-for-play system last summer by the Duval County School Board when the district was facing a $91 million state budget shortfall. That gap led to funding being cut for wrestling, slow-pitch softball, tennis, cross country, golf and junior varsity soccer. The community rallied with a "Save our Sports" initiative that raised the $587,000 necessary to spare those sports. But what Fox said, and members of the board agreed with, is that 2011 was a unique situation. The outpouring of support from the community was greater than anyone expected, but the chances of that happening annually isn't likely.

"The community has done such a wonderful job this past year. So many people on so many levels, so many institutions stepped up to save so many programs," Fox said. "Basically, that's the only hope we had. I think to expect to do that on a yearly basis isn't doable. It's too much money."

Pay-for-play, while a new proposal in Duval County, isn't foreign to high schools in the country, or even the area.

According to a National Federation of State High School Associations report published in 2009, Florida is one of 33 states to use a participation fee. But within the state, Florida High School Athletic Association executive director Roger Dearing estimated only 5 to 6 percent of Florida's 67 counties used it to some degree.

Locally, only St. Johns County has had a pay-for-play system in place.

"At least we're through this first round. We'll see how things develop from here," Fox said. "We'll roll it out to the ADs [athletic directors] and start answering questions that the public may have."

Jacksonville City Council faces $70 million vote on river deepening for cargo ships

David Bauerlein
Florida Times-Union

The Jacksonville Port Authority will go to City Council this month for up to $70 million as the city’s share of deepening the St. Johns River, which would be the final scoop of money needed for bringing deeper water all the way to the Blount Island docks by 2023.

JaxPort says the $484 million deepening project will pump more cargo and shipping-related jobs through the state’s busiest port, but the project has faced legal challenges over protections for the river’s ecological health and contentions a deeper ship channel will worsen neighborhood flooding during storm surges.

The legislation (2020-377) for city spending on the deepening has support from Mayor Lenny Curry, City Council President Tommy Hazouri, and council Finance Committee Chairman Matt Carlucci.

“As both a candidate and as mayor, I have always been an advocate for deepening our harbor,” Curry said in a statement. “This project will generate strong economic development and job creation throughout our region.”

The bill calls for council to consider the spending as an emergency measure for a final vote on July 28, which is two weeks faster than if it went through the normal legislative cycle.

St. Johns Riverkeeper, the nonprofit that filed a federal lawsuit that unsuccessfully tried to halt the dredging, says the financial and environmental stakes are too high for City Council to designate the bill as an emergency.

“This is too important of a decision to rush it through the council, especially considering the current economic situation our city is facing and the fact that, to date, the council as a body has not publicly discussed and evaluated the pros and cons of this project,” said Jimmy Orth, executive director of Riverkeeper.

He said the dredging project has provided “virtually no mitigation” to offset consequences of deepening.

“If Jacksonville is now going to have skin in the game with taxpayers helping to fund the dredging, our elected leaders have a responsibility to protect our river and our community by ensuring sufficient mitigation is in place,” he said.

Hazouri said that while he has had concerns about the impact on the river’s ecological health, he supports the city being a financial partner in the deepening that has been underway since early 2018.

“It’s here. We have to make the best of it,” Hazouri said. “We’re going to have to give it the consideration for our commitment to finish the job. How we do it is going to have to be done very carefully.”

He said the deepening will benefit the region’s economy and if it isn’t finished, it would be like the joke about the swimmer who made it halfway across the English Channel, got tired and swam back.

Curry said his administration has been working on ways to strengthen the city’s response to coastal flooding and sea-level rise by using recommendations from the Adaptation Action Area Working Group and the Storm Resiliency and Infrastructure Development Review Committee.

“We will also continue to collaborate with the City Council Special Committee on Resiliency, chaired by Councilman Matt Carlucci, on their important work,“ Curry said.

Carlucci said the port has been a mainstay of Jacksonville’s economy and deepening the river will generate much-needed jobs for people struggling to get by. He said 40 percent of Jacksonville residents hover just above, at or below the poverty line.

“We need to have as many good-paying jobs as we can get, and the port will do that,” he said. “But we can’t stick our heads in the sand and say we’re not going to have more problems with sea level rise because we are.”

Carlucci, who is a life-long freshwater fisherman, said one approach could be for the city could dredge St. Johns River tributaries back to their original depths. He said removing that build-up of silt would give the river system more capacity for holding water and also reduce the salinity levels because there would be more dilution of salty water that comes from the ocean.

Carlucci said he favors tearing down the dam on the Ocklawaha River in Putnam County, though the decision on removing the dam from that St. Johns River tributary rests with the state.

He said that by returning the Ocklawaha River to its natural state, “the amount of freshwater that would pump into the St. Johns River would be the best medicine we’ve had in a long time.”

Carlucci said taking actions on the river’s ecology and sea-level rise can be done separately from the legislation for city spending on the deepening.

“I just can’t pit one against the other,” he said.

Congress has authorized deepening 13 miles of the St. Johns River, which would cost about $700 million and drop the 40-feet depth down to 47 feet all the way to the TraPac terminal that works with Asian shipping lines. TraPac is just west of the Dames Point Bridge.

JaxPort’s funding model only covers 11 miles, taking deeper water to the Blount Island terminal, located east of the Dames Point bridge, where SSA Marine leases a portion of the terminal and serves big ships that carry cargo containers between the United States and Asia.

The deeper water isn’t needed for other JaxPort tenants such as automobile shipments, Puerto Rico trade, and cruises. But for the ocean-crossing cargo-container ships, the vessels are getting bigger, which means other Southeast ports also are deepening their harbors.

JaxPort is asking the city for up to $110 million, but $40 million of that would be a “bridge loan” that JaxPort would repay within two years as the state Department of Transportation releases funding for its share of the deepening.

For the remaining $70 million, the city would commit to $60 million in grants to JaxPort. The City Council could decide to later add another $10 million in grants based on the actual bids received by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which is in charge of the deepening contracts.

The legislation seeks a vote by City Council on an emergency basis because JaxPort must provide the entire amount of local funding to the Army Corps by Aug. 20 so it can move forward with its bidding process and contract award.

JaxPort first told city leaders in 2017 it would seek city financial support in the range of $47 million to $150 million.

JaxPort said in February it would need $70 million in grants from the city and cited success at securing federal funding for the project as the reason for the city’s cost dropping from the high end of $150 million.

Orth said City Council “kicked the can down the road” in 2017 when it decided not to have any public workshops on the river deepening when JaxPort initially said it would seek city dollars.

Former City Council member Anna Brosche, who was council president at the time, said in August 2017 that JaxPort was not not requesting any city funding for the next two years and might not ask for any city money at all to deepen the harbor.

Hazouri had criticized Brosche’s decision to not call for a council workshop, saying in 2017 the council “owes it to the citizens of Jacksonville to provide the answers to their many questions regarding this mega-project.”

St. Johns Riverkeeper filed a federal lawsuit in April 2017 demanding the Corps not start the deepening. U.S. District Judge Marcia Howard allowed the Corps to proceed. In May of this year, she ruled against Riverkeeper.

Howard said in her ruling the Corps had complied with federal law in its study of the impact of the deepening on the river’s salinity and flooding during storm surges.

Howard said Corps’ flood models showed “only slight increases in maximum water levels” from tide and storm surge with a deeper ship channel.

“This finding does not mean that a 50-year storm would not cause flooding, and Hurricane Irma showed that indeed it would,” Howard wrote of massive flooding Jacksonville experienced in 2017. ”(T)his finding means that the project will not cause any significant increase in such flooding.”

Howard said the decision to deepen the river “in the face of Jacksonville’s existing flood risk” is up to elected officials, not a federal judge.

Jacksonville Man Pleads Guilty to Grand Theft Over Brake Job

The Florida Times-Union recently reported about a Jacksonville man who pleaded guilty to two counts of grand theft while he faces charges of bilking investors out of more than $100,000 in a fake investment scheme.

Theft charges in Jacksonville can range from something as simple as stealing a pack of gum from a convenience store to a serious offense such as home invasion robbery, where a person breaks into a house that is occupied and, while armed, demands money and possessions. And as the details of these crimes vary, so do the punishment. The range is jail or probation to years or decades in prison. That’s why consulting immediately with an experienced Jacksonville Criminal Defense Attorney is so important.The 34-year-old Jacksonville man pleaded guilty to two counts of grand theft and he was sentenced to 175 days in jail — credit for the 175 days in jail he has already served. He remains in custody, however, because of other pending charges.

In this case, the man allegedly stiffed a car repair shop on a $9,300 brake job, asking for the repairs and then driving off the lot after the vehicle had been fixed. The second grand theft charge stems from him taking a store for $700 on new tires on a different vehicle.

He was arrested last month on charges that he bilked eight people out of $100,000 in a fraudulent investment scheme. In that case, he is accused of luring alleged victims into giving him money by wowing them with luxury cars he drove, including a 2007 Bentley — the subject of the brake job.

He allegedly told investors he was a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a high-dollar broker with connections to financial institutions. He also allegedly got a woman to send him $10,000 while he was in the Duval County jail through a three-way phone conversation with a co-defendant. He remains in custody on $1 million bail on those charges.

Grand theft charges depend on the amount stolen, which determines what degree felony a person can face. For instance, stealing a gun, property up to $20,000, a fire extinguisher, stop sign or other specific pieces of property as defined in Florida Statutes 812.014 is grand theft of the third-degree. That is punishable by up to five years in a state prison.

If the property stolen is valued at $20,000 to $100,000, cargo shipped between states or in the state, emergency medical equipment or law enforcement equipment, it is a second-degree felony, which carries a maximum of 15 years in prison.

If the property stolen values more than $100,000, is a semitrailer deployed by a law enforcement officer, is more than $50,000 of cargo shipped as business or if a motor vehicle is used as other than a getaway vehicle, it is a first-degree felony, which is punishable by 30 years to life.

And as is common in cases of theft and grand theft, suspects typically face more than one charge. Police and prosecutors like to file a charge per item stolen and they can threaten that every charge will be sentenced one after the other. So, four third-degree grand theft charges could be punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

While that is true, it’s not necessarily the case all the time. An aggressive Jacksonville Criminal Defense Attorney will fight to break up the evidence lodged against the suspect, including police reports, eye witness accounts and even the alleged “value” of the property taken. All aspects of a case can be challenged.

If you or a loved one requires a criminal defense attorney in Jacksonville or the surrounding area, call Mussallem and Associates, PA today at 904-365-5200 for a free consultation.

Grover Beach Pedestrian Accident Attorneys

Grover Beach Pedestrian Accident Attorneys

At James McKiernan Lawyers, we understand the pleasure and practicality of walking places. However, we also understand the risks pedestrians run when taking even a short walk down the block. Children are particularly in danger because of their smaller size and underdeveloped safety instincts. When you or someone you love is injured in a pedestrian accident, speak with the Grover Beach pedestrian accident attorneys at James McKiernan Lawyers for legal guidance.

Every year, more than 100 people are killed in pedestrian in California. Thousands more are injured. Many accidents are caused by lack of motorist attention — cyclists are at a serious disadvantage in a collision with a car, truck or motorcycle. A study conducted by the University of North Carolina and the U.S. Department of Transportation analyzed 750 motor vehicle and pedestrian collisions. They found the main causes of pedestrian and auto accidents were:

  • Motorists failing to yield the right of way
  • Motorists overtaking pedestrians
  • Motorists unexpectedly turning
  • Pedestrian unexpectedly crossing the street
  • Distracted motorists/pedestrians

Grover Beach pedestrian accident attorneys understand that a motorist may be 100% at fault for an accident, or the pedestrian may share some of the blame. Even if you were partially at fault for the collision, you can still recover compensation under California’s comparative fault laws. If you do share blame with a motorist, your final award may be reduced according to your percentage of fault.

Safety tips for pedestrians

Grover Beach is known for its beautiful weather — it is part of the reason the area attracts so many pedestrians. To stay safe on the road, pedestrians should stay alert and attentive. Even the most cautious pedestrians can be struck by an inattentive driver. If you’ve been injured, retain our Grover Beach pedestrian accident attorneys for effective, comprehensive legal representation. We focus a large portion of our practice to personal injury law — our team has litigated and negotiated countless accident claims for clients in and around Grover Beach.

    Aw! Hopefully you get to make a lot more! So cute!

  2. jamfancy Says:

    Just found out yesterday they hold our place in the class, I was a bit worried as its full up with a fair bit of outside interest, so Im safe : )

  3. Lisa Says:

    OH!!! The girl with the bird??!!!! These are FABULOUS!!!

  4. Snuffy Says:

    Oh wow Cristina! That black eyed girl and her bird and key one is spectacular..I can`t believe the little bird made it in the firing process! Love her colours too..your glazing technique is wonderful…love the crackled look 🙂
    You must never stop..these are just too good 😉

  5. jamfancy Says:

    I know, I thought it would come off! Oh and I think the crackling is seen as a fault according to some internet ceramics stuff I was browsing, but I love it.

  6. Elley (Linda) Says:

    Omg these are so adorable, just like the first ones! Actually I love how you’ve managed to transfer their style and personality into 3D, I wouldn’t have imagined it would work as the originals are quite “flat” in their style of drawing – it’s rare that you see a successful transfer from 2D to 3D without losing some of the charm but you’ve done it. I hope you get too keep on doing it!

  7. jamfancy Says:

    Really? I always think everything 2D needs to be 3D, so this is quite satisfying.

  8. ana de toledo Says:

    I am really astonished with that brilliant talent and the most refined art!

  9. Eerika Says:

    Oh wow! They’re all fantastic!
    You’re really very good at ceramics, it’s always a pleasure to see what you can make with a bit clay and some glazing.

  10. Amy Says:

    These are all so good! I hope you’ll find a way to continue working in this medium after your class is over.

  11. Jeff Says:

    Oh me oh my! Love Love Love the new creations – they are so adorable! Have you got room for a little kiln?

Beverly Hills Neck Lift

Visible signs of aging along the neck and jawline can cause a person to look older, tired, and worn out. Neck lift surgery can reduce signs of aging caused by time, heredity, and gravity. A “turkey waddle” and double chin can be diminished during neck lift surgery to provide a beautifully shaped neckline. Neck lift surgery can help a patient look nearly 10 years younger by removing hanging skin and excess fat from the neck and jowls.

Achieved With Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift can provide a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

During neck lift surgery, Dr. Diamond will remove loose, hanging skin from the neck and excess fatty deposits from under the chin to create a much younger appearance.

Fine lines and wrinkles along the neck and jowls develop due to loose facial skin.

During neck lift surgery, Dr. Diamond will tighten the skin that creates these bothersome signs of aging. Neck lift patients can expect a reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

When there is excess skin and fat along the jawline, the lower portion of the face can look saggy and lax, often making a person appear older than their true age.

After removing this excess tissue, the skin is pulled back to tighten the entire neck and jawline.

Overall, patients can expect to achieve a tighter, more defined neck and jawline.

Dr. Diamond customizes each neck lift surgery to the patient’s needs and desires. He has operated on different types of people around the world and will create a surgical plan that provides natural-looking results that do not look “pulled back.”

Addressing Any Concerns You May Have

After surgery, a bandage will be placed over the face and neck to reduce swelling and bruising.

Dr. Diamond will provide you with specific instructions on how to properly care for surgical sites and drains. It is recommended that your head is kept straight and elevated higher than your heart to minimize swelling.

Incisions will be made along the hairline at sideburn level and continue around the ear before ending in the posterior hairline.

After incisions have healed, patients will notice their scarring is hidden along the hairline and within the contours of the ear.

Patients should expect some pain due to swelling and bruising.

Dr. Diamond will prescribe oral medications to help to ease pain or discomfort.

Each individual case is, of course, different, and the results of surgery will vary from individual to individual.

Frequently Asked Questions About Neck Lift Surgery

A: Patients with excess wrinkling of the neck, a double chin, or jowl lines they would like corrected may be neck lift candidates. Before undergoing surgery, it is important that patients are in good health and have realistic expectations.
A: Neck lift surgery will be performed under intravenous sedation or a general anesthetic. Dr. Diamond will recommend the best sedation to be used for your surgery.
A: Neck lift surgery is often combined with facelift surgery, cheek implants, eyelid surgery, and/or brow lift surgery. Dr. Diamond can help you decide on the most appropriate procedure(s) to help achieve your desired results.
A: Patients can expect long-lasting results they can enjoy for many years. The duration of time that results last depends on the patient’s habits and genetics, such as smoking, drinking, and the amount of facial aging over time.
A: An in-person consultation appointment is needed so that Dr. Diamond can determine the best approach to your surgery. At that time, he will be happy to provide an accurate cost estimate.
A: During your consultation, Dr. Diamond will examine the condition of your face to determine the best approach for your neck lift surgery.
A: You may experience some moderate pain and tightness along the treated area, but this should resolve after a few weeks.
A: During your neck lift surgery, incisions are typically placed under your chin.

A young lady accidentally causes a time paradox and must eliminate it to see her beloved again.

Publisher Applied Systems
207 MB

Game Description

A night call has changed the whole life of a young woman called Jane: she discovers that her uncle has died and she may inherit his house in France. But Jane could never imagine how severe the consequences of such inheritance might be. In the uncle’s house she finds a time machine and dares to use it, which results in a growing temporal paradox. From now on Jane is responsible for the future of the whole humanity. She must find a way to avert the paradox which will mix the past with the present and move entire generations to different historical epochs.

The stakes are high: the whole mankind is standing at the brink of survival, but there’s something no less powerful that makes Jane’s heart beat faster and encourages her to challenge the inevitability of the disaster. She must by all means see Alan again.

While eliminating the time paradox you will have to use all your imagination and attention to small details. Travel to the France of the 17th century to help a brave musketeer save the Queen’s honor, visit Ancient India with its dainty adornments and go through the sophisticated traps of the Mayan civilization.

Mountainbloom (gallery-wrapped canvas print)

As an avid snowboarder, I have collected trail maps from every mountain I have ever visited. After hoarding them in my collage drawer for way too long, they have been put to great use in the making of this mixed media painting.

A rustic mixed media collage print that would make the perfect gift for a snowboarder or skier. Hang it in your home to remind yourself of the peaceful beauty of gliding through the mountain snow.

I created Mountainbloom using pieces of countless trail maps from: Heavenly in South Lake Tahoe, Brighton in Salt Lake City, Grand Targhee in Wyoming, and Jackson Hole in Wyoming. I also used acrylic paint, ink, and watercolor.

You can find paper prints of Mountainbloom here:

Professionally stretched and mounted on thick gallery-style 1 1/2 inch pine stretcher bars. Sides are left white, so that the image is stretched edge to edge and nothing is cut off. UV coated so that image will not fade or yellow in the sun. Hook and wire hanging system already installed on the back, so this print comes ready to hang!

Choose LED Outdoor Lighting for the Winter Darkness

Electrical Tips

LED Outdoor Lighting for Sidewalks, Landscaping, and Your HomeAmerica has fallen in love with LED lights. They’re a super-efficient, bright and inexpensive way to light both the interior and the exterior of your home. And today’s LEDs are brighter than their predecessors, so they’re both economical and beautiful!

Now that daylight savings is over and the sun sets in Kansas City at around 5 pm, outdoor LED lights are the best defense against the winter darkness. It all comes down to making your home safer and more attractive.

Here are a few more reasons why you should install exterior LED lights:

  • Long Life – LED’s have an exceptionally long lifespan compared with conventional outdoor lighting.
  • Energy-Efficiency – LED’s have an estimated energy efficiency of 80-90% compared to traditional outdoor lighting which loses 80% of its efficiency to heat.
  • Eco-Friendly – LED lights have no toxic chemicals or materials and are 100% recyclable. Their long lifespan also means you won’t be throwing away and replacing conventional bulbs, all this equals less waste.
  • Durable – LED lights are extremely durable and able to withstand tough conditions. Because they resist shock, weather, and external impacts, they’re the perfect choice for outdoor applications.

Installing exterior LED lighting to illuminate your walkway, steps, patio, and more not only looks great, it makes you and your guests safer, gives your house some valuable curb appeal, and adds a measure of protection to ward off intruders as well.

Call Jeremy Electrical, Heating and Cooling for expert installation of outdoor LED lighting for your Kansas City, Kansas home (913) 956-0057 or (816) 929-6119.

  1. Great experience 5 Star Review

    Posted by on

    I personally visited jewelers in my area, and decided to check prices and information on-line. I came across Jewelrypoint.com. I was impressed with the information presented. I liked the variety of products, guarantees about quality, security, and delivery. I even called their telephone number to ask a question and spoke to an actual person! I purchased a platinum wedding band as a 20th anniversary present for my husband. The ring we received was beautiful and delivery was seamless. The way the ring was packaged was great as well. It can be scary purchasing jewelry sight unseen, but I would purchase from Jewerlypoint.com again. The only thing I don't like is their advertisements now pop-up in all of my technology products (cell phone, computer). I believe it is is an operating system / advertisement issue.

Product Description

This comfort-fit platinum wedding ring features a smooth matte finish. Other metals and finishes are also available. Order this band in widths ranging from 5mm to 8mm.

It’s not your job to fix someone and make them feel good about themselves

You are not obligated to fix someone and ignore your own happiness to help them feel better about themselves. Remember that.

Love should make you shiver when you hear your significant other’s name. True love should make your soul shine with the light of a million fireflies. Being in your loved one’s arms should bring you peace and harmony. Holding your partner’s hand should excite every single cell of your body. Being in love should encourage you to fight against all odds to keep your other half by your side and share a lifetime with them.

Acceptance, empathy, and commitment should be the foundation of any relationship.

But acceptance doesn’t mean tolerating toxic behavior. Empathy doesn’t mean ignoring your own wellbeing. And most importantly, commitment isn’t about selflessly giving your time and energy away to someone who isn’t willing to do the same for you.

No matter how much someone tries to convince you they love you, they should never force you to turn into their personal therapist. No one has the right to take advantage of your kind soul. It is not your job to bear someone’s toxicity, even if they claim this helps them feel better. You are not bound to fix anyone but yourself.

Sadly, nowadays many relationships are built on codependency. The kind that gives one of the partners the power to manipulate the other one by using their energy to fix the emptiness in their own life. The kind that forces you to turn your back on your friends and family, so all of your attention could be only for your significant other. But if that special someone makes you forget who you are and lose touch with your own self, do they truly love you?

If you take a step back and take your time to process this, you will inevitably realize that it was never your responsibility to fix anyone.

Even if you believed they loved you with their whole heart, they never had the right to play with your emotions and hurt you, only to feel a little better about themselves.

Sure, there is always some pain in romantic relationships. Love is not a fairytale where the princess finds her prince, and one magical kiss fixes all of her problems. Love is not an Ed Sheeran song that sounds so beautifully melodic it makes you wish he was singing about you. There are always a few tears, a few emotional wounds, and a few hurtful words you never meant to say. But that’s the beauty of it. Love makes you work through all the issues and pain and helps you grow even stronger.

People should be brave enough to face their demons on their own. They shouldn’t rely on someone else to fight their battles. They should gather the courage to push through life on their own.

Moreover, they need to understand the essence of feeling complete on your own. If you haven’t reached that state yet, you would never be able to be happy with and for someone else. You would never be able to unconditionally love another being until you learn how to love yourself. You would never be able to contribute to someone else’s happiness if you aren’t at peace with your own self.

Hopefully, one day you would see through this and realize that your heart cannot take responsibility for someone else’s void.

You cannot make someone happy if you don’t take care of yourself first.

And if you let this someone force you to give up on yourself to help them feel better, you will never be able to feel good in your own skin.

Some might say it sounds selfish and rude, but you have your own life to care for. You have your own world to keep the balance of, and your own journey walk. Your true love will walk alongside you and will grow with you, not block your way. Let that sink in.
