Children's centres attendances fall coinciding with council cash cutting
PUBLISHED: 06:25 24 October 2018
Fewer families are using North Somerset's children centres since services suffered cut backs.
In an effort to balance the books, changes have taken places at various children's centres across the district.
Attendance figures show though fewer people are now visiting the centres.
A 20 per cent drop off has been recorded since North Somerset Council, coincidentally, reduced budgets by 20 per cent three years ago.
In June, the council voted through a further £315,000 cut to the service over the next two years.
Despite the move, no children's centres will be closed down, although there were initially fears Banwell's facility would be axed.
The council still runs 14 centres across the area, but many have been altered or scaled back.
Yatton's children centre was moved into the library last year, but there are already plans to reduce the service's provision.
A reduction in hours at Ashcombe Children's Centre and at Ashcombe Nursery and Little Waves in Weston was also planned amid the cutbacks.
A North Somerset Council spokesman said: "Fewer families are using the service as we have had to reduce our offer to families over the past three years.
"Children's centres have seen a 20 per cent cut in their budget over this period.
"We have protected our direct one-to-one work with children and families. We have also joined up with other partners to make more effective use of buildings such as shared use with libraries."
The council spokesman added: "We want all families to use our centres and are working with partners in health, the voluntary sector and social care organisations to maximise opportunities and make the best use of these great centres.
"We are using five original sites in a different way, but the public can still access services in all locations."
Centres in Pill and Long Ashton were similarly affected by the cost-cutting measures.

This Orangutan Is Like the Friend Who Will Do Anything to Get Your Attention
We all have a friend or two who makes it utterly impossible to be productive. They are always trying to make us laugh and, if they're anything like this orangutan, it usually works. This guy just won't leave his friends alone, and it's hilarious to watch.

Can I just tell you how completely obsessed I was with this room when I saw it in Teen Vogue however many years ago… I wanted to paint my high school room that exact color! The whole room has a certain Marie Antoinette feel. Don't you thinkkk?
I especially love the old fashioned fireplace. I wish my room in my apartment had one. We do have lovely old fashioned moldings and radiators though…who knows my room here might become a painting project next semester…

Filed under: Rose Byrne | Tags: Adam, Damages, Duchess de Polignac, Hugh Dancy, Marie Antoinette, Rose Byrne
I first discovered Rose Byrne in one of my favorite movies, Marie Antoinette. Byrne plays the fanciful, glamorous 18th century socialite/party-girl Duchess de Polignac. I often imitate her accent from the film by attempting to wish my friends goodbye with the classy phrase "adieu cheries" followed by a kiss on both cheeks. The Australian actress also plays one of the leads in the popular drama/suspense television series Damages with esteemed co-star Glenn Close. She has starred a variety of films with very successful actors such as Wicker Park, Troy and Knowing. Even more recently, Byrne stars along side Hugh Dancy in the romantic/comedy/drama entitled Adam. With her beautiful features and tremendous talent, her acting career is flourishing. If Thomas Fuller was right when he said that "Good clothes open all doors," then it's no wonder Byrne is going places. She dresses beautifully! She is classy at all costs and innovative when she needs to be. Here are some of her best looks…

정용화랑 민혁이랑 cgv 에서 영화보는중. pic.twitter.com/FkWwUfksfh
— 권효경 (@gyrud110) June 24, 2013
OK where do I start? First Minhyukkie shared such a freakishly cuuuute selca riding in the backseat of Yonghwa's car maybe? Most likely its the van that CNBLUE use to get around when they are home but recently, news has surfaced about a new car, well a Range Rover Jeep to be exact, that was purchased by non other than Jung Yonghwa. Wow, big spender! He's got the dough so why not get a super expensive car to ride around town right? He deserves it so congrats to him if the rumor is true! SO maybe Minhyuk is riding around in the back of Yonghwa's jeep or maybe not! Either way, its a damn cute picture as always!
The second post was taken by a fan who just HAPPENED to be at the same place as YONGMIN, at the same time. Apparently they are on the snack line? Looks like Minhyuk is holding either tickets or money but he seems to be telling Yonghwa something and Yonghwa's expression is like, "Whatever dude.." LOL OMG, its too funny! He really has such a serious look on his face while trying to figure out what to nosh on during the flick right?
Btw, I totally LOVE how the guys are dressed, so laid back and really comfy looking and the matching BOAT SHOES!! LOL CUUUUUUTE! I actually had a pair of those but in pink a few years ago hahah. But GOOOD LAWD, doesn't Yonghwa have such manly legs? *sigh* I mean, they both do but Yong's are just hairier or something LOL. IDK what it is but wow. Yonghwa's hair and everything are just PEFECTTTT! GAH!

Dominique Pirolo was thrilled with her purchase: 'I think I was only the second or third person to move into the complex.'
Shelter: Westmount's village-like atmosphere appeals to 'professional student'
Dominique Pirolo was born in Italy but she came to Canada as a baby and grew up in the east end of Montreal and in Mile End. As an adult she lived in Ville-Marie and over the years, she has taken business courses at McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management and online courses in leadership change through Cornell University. Now in her late 40s, Pirolo holds certificates in executive development and professional coaching. For the past decade, she has worked in human resources as a talent recruiter for SAP, a German-based software company with offices around the world.
Pirolo is the first to admit that she loves studying and she is constantly setting herself new goals. Describing herself jokingly as "a professional student," she has just attended a two-day course at Concordia University. In the business world, she says, it's important to keep abreast of what's going on.
Four years ago, Pirolo also attained a non-work-related goal — namely to buy a place in Westmount. She began exploring the area when visiting her dentist, speculating about what it might be like to live here. She loved the village-like ambience of Westmount, contrasting it with the buzz of downtown.
Pirolo is clearly delighted with her decision to become a Westmounter. She loves her home — a 900-square-foot condo on the third floor of a modern, mid-rise building. It has an open-plan living area/kitchen and two bedrooms, one of which Pirolo uses as her dining room. There is a small balcony and a large, communal roof garden.
Being able to walk everywhere is one of Pirolo's pleasures. (Although her condo came with a parking space, Pirolo rents it out because she doesn't own a car.) It takes her just over five minutes to walk to Westmount Park and the Westmount Public Library — a favourite hangout where Pirolo loves to read and attend literary events.
Q: How did you settle on this particular condo?
A: I actually put in offers on a couple of other places, but I lost out on those. Property in Westmount goes very quickly. This building was under construction and I was able to buy my condo off-plan. That was great, because as well as being able to live in a brand-new building — I think I was only the second or third person to move into the complex — I could select things for the interior.
Q: What kinds of things?
A: My floors. My cupboards. The kitchen cabinets. The ceramic tiles…
Q: People who buy off-plan are often able to upgrade the interior before moving in. Did you consider doing that?
A: There was no need. This is a high-end condo. The developer has used quality materials, even for the fittings in the bathroom and kitchen. The doors are fireproof and I have a 'smart' lock that's connected to the electrical wiring. When I walk in, the lights go on!
Q: What about your furniture? Given that this was a brand-new apartment, did you buy new furniture to go with it?
A: Just a few things, like my kitchen appliances, which are Italian. Before moving here, I had an old, large apartment, much bigger than this one, so I sold some stuff when I had an open house. I kept the pieces that I liked, including a few things from my mom. (Pirolo indicates a side lamp next to the sofa.)
She died just before my move and I'd cleared out her home so I realized it would be a good idea to keep everything as simple as possible.
Q: I notice you've used a mixture of styles in your living room.
A: I like to blend the old and the new. The antique-style Louis XIV chest of drawers with the inlaid wood and marble top comes from Spain. I found it here though, in a secondhand place.
(Opposite this handsome piece is a half-moon chest of drawers on which stands a lamp with a colourful, Tiffany-style shade. On each side of the chest of drawers are a couple plastic ghost chairs. We walk into the bedroom Pirolo uses as her dining room.)
Q: That's quite the table! I like the glass top but what's the carved stone underneath that's supporting it?
A: It looks as if it could be something precious, but it's actually made of concrete.
Q: That large painting on the wall beside the table, of a couple dancing, looks vaguely familiar. Is it by somebody famous?
A: I did it! I copied it from a painting by Fernando Botero.
(A Colombian painter, Botero is known for his humorous, oversized human figures.)
Q: Don't tell me you've also taken a course on painting?
A: (Laughs) I have, but that's a whole other story.

Recognizing that next week will see the staff of BC Hydro's Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) will be leave their Nelson and Cranbrook office, MLA Michelle Mungall spoke in the Legislature Wednesday about the gaping hole that the loss of these seven jobs will leave in the Kootenays. Decades long experience and knowledge in wildlife protection and remediation of BC Hydro dams' effects on fish and wildlife in the region will be lost.
"So many species, including the endangered northern leopard frog found in the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area, have benefitted from this program over the years. After cutting the program, the Liberal Government has no plan in place on how to continue work that is legally mandated through the licenses BC Hydro holds," says Mungall.
Twice last Fall, Mungall asked the Minister responsible for BC Hydro to immediately rescind cut to the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program. She noted that FWCP biologists provide substantial benefit, not only to the restoration and conservation of species habitat, but also to research, education and communication in the region. Cutting the FWCP was done without public consultations, nor has the BC Hydro developed a plan on how the work will continue past March 31, nor are they now conducting community engagement with the public as implied by Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett in a statement he made in the Legislature.
Follow the links to view the original letter and video transcript from her in person request of the Minister.
"Too many times have the Kootenays been blindsided by distant decisions on the electrical generation capacity of our region. Too many times has our natural environment been the casualty," said Mungall in her statement, "The fish, the wildlife, the people of the Kootenays deserved better. We deserve the expertise of the fish and wildlife compensation program."

Lungs are in a pair and are situated above diaphragm in the thoracic cavity. They are a crucial organ as they help oxygen bind chemically to our red blood cells and thus facilitate its transportation to the body. Our lungs have specially designed air sacs called alveoli, they help in exchange of gases. When alveoli of the lungs get damaged the oxygen carrying capacity of lungs decreases. There are number of reasons that can lead to damage of alveoli of the lungs, cancer is one of them. Cancer leads to uncontrolled damage at cellular level to the lung tissue and thus affects the oxygenation of blood. This leads to development of more pressure on heart and kidneys. Lung cancer can be categorized into various stages and thus is curable if detected early. Some of the signs of cancer or infection in lungs include breathlessness, fatigue, disturbed blood pressure levels, discomfort in chest cavity etc. Read More about Lung Cancer Treatment →

Girls Incorporated of Northern Alberta is a non-profit organization has been operating in the Wood Buffalo region for more than a quarter of a century and our mandate is to inspire all girls to be Strong, Smart & BoldSM. We provide girls 8 to 18 years old with the knowledge and skills needed to break free from gender stereotypes, create social change, be proud of who they are and be confident in their own skin.
Our gender-based programming promotes positive self-esteem in girls, encourages positive life choices, teaches girls to resist peer pressure and how to deal with situations of bullying and violence and explore science and engineering as career options. The programs are implemented as part of the daily school curriculum, after school and on weekends throughout the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo and surrounding aboriginal communities.
Our programs are free of charge because we do not want any financial barriers to stop any girl from being able to participate. Our sponsors make a huge difference in thousands of girls' lives and this year we plan to expand our programming to reach more girls within the region. Funds raised would help purchase resources (notebooks, markers, etc.) for programs as well as help cover travel/fuel costs to reach the surrounding aboriginal communities.
Our most popular programs we run:
- Friendly PEERsuasion: Develops skills to resist pressure to use harmful substances, such as drugs & alcohol. Girls learn healthy ways to manage stress and to deflect peer, media, and other pressures that contribute to substance use.
- Media Smarts: Girls today are bombarded by media images. This program teaches girls the skills they need to think critically about what the media is really telling them; builds girls' analytical and creative skills. Girls investigate the use of slogans, logos, merchandising, and target marketing in media; consider the realness of reality TV; practice creating strong, smart, and bold characters, TV show treatments, and media campaigns; and tackle issues of concern such as beauty, diversity, & stereotypes in media.
- Project Bold: Learn skills and strategies to lead safe lives in home, in peer and romantic relationships, in their communities, and online. Learn specific self-defense techniques and how to seek out and talk to caring adults about gender-based and personal violence, including bullying.
- Operation SMART: Develops girls' enthusiasm for and skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Through hands-on activities, girls explore, ask questions, persist, and solve problems. By interacting with women and men pursuing STEM careers, girls come to view these careers as realistic options for themselves.
- Mentoring: Offers a safe place for girls to engage with mentors and freely discuss issues they face each week, helps develop healthy relationships, inspires girls to find their voices and build confidence. Studies show that 98% of mentored youth stay in school, avoid teen pregnancy and gangs. Youth who had a mentor are 130% more likely to hold leadership positions.

The staff has been so great for us taking care of our mother. She is able to stay in her home but we don't have to worry about her. The rates are very fair and the communication is excellent. I would recommend them to help care for your loved ones.
I needed help with my father. After looking at many agencies I went with Supporting Independence and have been very happy. Darren was great and the caregivers have been life savers. Sue has become an extension of our family. Great company!
Supporting Independence was just what I was looking for. I have been providing care for my elderly father for several years now and was always reluctant to leave him with a caregiver until I met the kind and caring staff at Supporting Independence. I finally got a little respite and my Dad got an amazing caregiver and friend. I couldn't be happier or more grateful!
Supporting Independence is a local family owned Home Health Care Company in Altamonte Springs Florida. The staff is warm and friendly and owners are dedicated and compassionate about providing personalized care set above the industry standard. The CNA's are licensed and backgound screened and continue to represent them in nothing but excellence. If your looking I suggest you give them a call.

Bloodfever (Fever #2) by Karen Marie MoningPublication date: October 16th, 2007Publisher: Delacorte PressNumber of pages: 303Format: HardcoverPurchase: Amazon | The Book Depository (Free shipping)Description: I used to be your average, everyday girl but all that changed one night in Dublin when I saw my first Fae, and got dragged into a world of deadly immortals and ancient secrets. . . .
In her fight to stay alive, MacKayla must find the Sinsar Dubh—a million-year-old book of the blackest magic imaginable, which holds the key to power over the worlds of both the Fae and Man. Pursued by assassins, surrounded by mysterious figures she knows she can't trust, Mac finds herself torn between two deadly and powerful men: V'lane, the immortal Fae Prince, and Jericho Barrons, a man as irresistible as he is dangerous.
For centuries the shadowy realm of the Fae has coexisted with that of humans. Now the walls between the two are coming down, and Mac is the only thing that stands between them
Things soon pick up pace as Mac gets a surprise visit, and her fears were confirmed to what she knew all along.
Mac also meets a newcomer, Dani who is a fellow Sidhe-Seer, along with that old woman Mac had met in the bar on her first few days in Dublin. Who would have thought she would be someone who Mac might have needed in the future?
During the course of this novel, she goes on a self discovery journey as she does these she normally wouldn't do, but that's because she has evolved from the person she was to the person she is now.
She realizes that you can't count your chickens right away. If something seems dead... it may not be necessary true.
We also discover some more of the Fae history when Mac makes a deal with the devil and by that I mean V'Lane. Since he is the perfect source of information she knows its best to get it from him, even though he probably shouldn't be telling her this, than from someone else who may not know all the facts.
Mac is still grieving her sister, but along the way she stops hurting so much. She still has the need for revenge, but for a gift of kindness, Mac receives a special present that helps her grieving process.
Barrons is still a mystery, although there are plenty of theories about what he is, and I have a feeling they are not nearly close to the truth than some people may think.
The end is another cliffhanger, and a bigger one this time. Karen sure does love leaving readers panting and eager for more. But that's one of the things I love about her. She knows how to draw you in.
Rating: 5 out of 5

Just about any organization that uses technology to do business faces cyber risk. And as technology becomes more complex and sophisticated, so do the threats we face - which is why every business and organization needs to be prepared with cyber liability insurance.
Due to ongoing reports of high profile data breaches and cyber-related losses, cyber security has become a top priority. Cyber liability insurance protects against growing cyber and technology risks such as:
- Loss or inadvertent disclosure of confidential private information, like clients' or employees' social security numbers, bank account numbers, or credit card numbers.
- Computer viruses or hacking resulting in damage/disruption to computer systems or theft of private information.
- Extended protection against things like regulatory fines and penalties and expenses from business interruption.
Remember, if your business stores confidential financial and personal records of employees and clients then cyber liability insurance is a must.
Be prepared, don't wait for a breach.

Just imagine Scheat on her wedding night. You spend the entire day talking with your relatives and trudging through all the formalities involved in a marriage ceremony; and then you finally bring Scheat into the giant fluffy love hotel bed where you'll be spending your honeymoon.
You lay her down on the bed, crawl up to her, whispering sweet notions of love to her. She bashfully removes her veil along with her gloves. After a lovely kiss shared between two newlyweds, you reach for her dress, slowly and sensually start lifting it, exposing her legs.
At this point, you realize why you fell in love with Scheat to begin with, you can't help but sit there crying tears of joy.
Scheat is your partner, your other half, the girl who is destined to be with you for the rest of your life. She gives you her love, she gives you her heart, she gives you a smile that makes all the troubles in the world seem to fade away, and most importantly, she gives you five dongs.

Kinda off topic, this event's name gonna change for NA? Can't quite remember but I'm pretty sure the June Bride event did happen in June last year. So will it be August Brides or September Brides for NA? Would hate to think that they would delay the return of the NA event until June of next year.
Edit- The event is here! Despite the delay, it's time to walk the aisle! ;)

"For two weeks of my elective during the summer of 2014, I had the privilege of joining Dr Sheen and his wife, Suzy, on a voluntary medical mission to Viti Levu, to help pave the way for the redevelopment of the Vatukarasa Health Centre.
As a Medical Student from the United Kingdom, I had not previously visited Fiji. On reaching Viti Levu, it surpassed even my wildest expectations. Nothing short of a raw, tropical paradise, the extraordinary combination of sunshine, endless vistas and the warmest of people make it one of those places you wish never to leave.
Before leaving Australia, there was a lot of preparation required and I was given the task of compiling the equipment and medication we needed for a successful trip. This was a more daunting task than I had anticipated and the scale of the kit was remarkable, making for some challenging last minute packing!
Once in Fiji, Dr Sheen's schedule was expectedly jam-packed, with the time incredibly well organized to ensure maximum impact. Time was split between outpatient clinics at Sigatoka Hospital and a number of other locations including schools, resorts and villages.
Each morning saw an early start, with preparation for clinic the next day performed the night before. I certainly learned the importance of detail when our first expedition to Nasivikoso Village School, high in the mountains, saw me forget the otoscope tips. Not a good start and I learned fast about the importance of careful preparation.
Clinics often ran from early morning until late into the night, it was truly amazing how many people would turn up and queue for hours to receive free medical care. My role very much centered around helping triage patients, collecting basic medical information using a screening proforma we had designed prior to arrival. The opportunities for learning were abundant.
In total we saw nearly 200 patients in our field-clinics and many more though outpatients at Sigatoka hospital.
What struck me the most was the warmth and joy of people we had the privilege of meeting along the way. Many had ailments for which we could only do a little given the scarce resources but what really amazed me was the incredible gratitude people had for just being seen by a doctor.
Being a visiting medical student or doctor in Fiji is quite literally the experience of a lifetime and I would certainly recommend it to anyone with a nose for adventure.

Digital Marketing: A constant evolution
In the past two decades a universal dependence on technology has emerged. With my mere nineteen years I struggle to imagine an education without google, a social life without Facebook and a Business without an online presence. I doubt this post is the first to enlighten you of the digital world's rapid growth, however when we reflect on the sudden development of digital marketing it really is fascinating.
Digital marketing has arguably shaped the business world today. In 1993 the first clickable banner ad was employed, five years prior to the emergence of Google. Since then search engines have become central to advertising, companies must work to reach the top of the search list or their webpages may remain redundant. If you lie on the second page of results you may as well be on the 100th.
So how can you climb this ladder? This is where SEO (Search Engine Optimization) or PPC (Pay Per Click) comes in. These two factors are increasingly important in ensuring a webpage entices new visitors. I first found it hard to justify that companies could pay around fifteen pounds per click for an advert linking to their website – 1.5 grand for 100 seems quite extreme – but this really does highlight how significant web-marketing has become. If you acknowledge how many ads you ignore whilst surfing the web, it becomes quite obvious what is financing the cyber world.
Social Media is another element central to the evolution. Targeting clientele where they naturally gravitate has always been a key strategy for marketers. For me Facebook is my first call of action in a dull lecture or whilst procrastinating for an exam. With over 70% of internet users having a presence on social media channels, I am no exception. As sad as it sounds, this is an area we find ourselves most comfortable and businesses must compensate for this. Companies must maintain a professional and exciting brand image on this platform and maximize the opportunity to reach such a large audience.
Now onto our most recent and perhaps uncertain stage in the evolution process, Growth Hacking. Many of the aforementioned strategies largely require substantial funding and resources, for start-ups this may not be an option. Growth Hackers incorporate an innovative approach employing social media and viral marketing to expand their business. This is what I find most exciting. The process exposes the beauty of digital marketing; it demonstrates how technology offers companies an opportunity for rapid growth despite their background. However having only emerged five years ago, we have no idea how successful this area will be. In a cyber-world that is becoming increasingly competitive, will there be room to produce more software to promote low-cost growth?
So what's next in store along this digital journey? Twenty years ago, the advances that would so rapidly follow the Clickable banner Ads were entirely underestimated. This uncertainty has left me wondering in what areas the field could possibly expand. What we can be sure of is the importance of remaining engaged with emerging software. To sustain our evolution we must continue to find new environments to access our customers, new software to greater analyse the success of our sites are and new content to maximise the population we reach.

I finally got my Lumia 830 back last Thursday, after UK mail attempted a delivery whilst I was out and I drove to their depot to collect my parcel. Bit of a dash across city to get there on time as UK Mail would have sent my package back to the supplier if I didn't collect that day! Once back home and powered up and the wireless settings had been added, the restore started. Everything was up and running again in about ninety minutes, just a few account passwords to confirm and to get rid of a few of the default apps (eg. Facebook) so the app list is setup how I want it.
I do want to mention the top quality service I've had from Clove Technology in getting the device swapped – manufacturing faults occur and its good to know that there is top-notch service to back up up your purchase if things go wrong.
Physical impressions of the Lumia 830 – a nice, large monoblock device equipped with a 5″ screen. The screen is very shiny – so shiny in fact that if you leave it on the side of an arm chair, it will slide itself off! I've got a Shocksock pouch by Cellapod and if I leave it on the screen, it mysteriously moves…!
I'm not going to repeat what has already been written about the specification and the whole device, as this has already been covered elsewhere in many other websites and blogs. Instead, I'm just going to cover what I particulary like or what I've noticed in comparison to my Lumia 820 and moving up from my old to new Windows Phone 8.1 device.
SIM Card: the 830 takes a nano-sim, whereas the 820 takes a micro-sim. This was easy to transfer over, just popped into my local O2 shop and asked for a contract nano-sim and used the 'swapmysim' online service to transfer my mobile number to the new sim (which took less than 24 hours). Once inserted, the phone automatically detected that it was a contract O2 sim and set everything up for me. No need to type in lots of internet and MMS settings – everything was detected and working straight away, which was a nice surprise!
Something I noticed when I set up the first 830 in comparison to the second 830; during the phone activation step, it seemed to be much easier to get it activated. On reflection, I'm sure this was because I was restoring from the first 830's backup, rather than from the 820's. A point to note, don't bother trying to activate the phone by text message as you won't get anything. Use the activate by email feature and have another device that is setup to receive email to your Microsoft account handy.
Above: Lumia 820 (left) and Lumia 830 (right)
Once activated and connected to your wireless network, the device starts to download all your apps saved as part of the backup. You'll need to download the HERE offline maps for your countrie(s) and as a default the phone will store all content on your MicroSD card (I have a 64Gb SDXC installed). The phone is fluid to use, there are no hold-ups or slow transitions – the 720p screen is gorgeous with colours beautifully displayed.
I originally wanted the white back cover version (to be honest only the black, orange and green versions appear to be available to buy) but unfortunately my supplier Clove Technology didn't have one available to ship at the time I ordered it. Instead I ordered the orange version with the intention of buying a white Qi-compatible back cover to replace it. This was quite easy to find on eBay – ironically it arrived the day I shipped my faulty 830 back to Clove. The cover is easier to take on/off than the Lumia 820's, secured by about a dozen small clips all around the device. Once on, its secure – I don't know what it will be like long-term or if it will develop 'creaks' as the device gets older, but its easy to change!
The 820 has a 4.3″ screen – something that I found when using the on screen keyboard in single-character / portrait typing mode my large fingers would get the letters 'I' and 'O' mis-typed. However using the 830 and the slightly larger keyboard has eliminated this problem – along with using WordFlow. Something to bear in mind for future devices that a minimum size 5″ screen is the best fit for my hands. I was initially a bit reticent about WordFlow when it was first announced as I wasn't sure how much control I would have writing on the device, but I have been pleasantly surprised and find myself jumping easily between WordFlow and typing single characters. So much so, I've installed the Swype extension on my Nokia C7 which though not as quick, does offer me a similar typing experience on the slower device.
A lot of people nowadays focus too much time on the CPU and RAM of a device, especially when comparing Windows Phone to Android. Why doesn't it have 2Gb of RAM I hear people cry, when similar Android devices have that amount? Simple answer – Windows Phone has been written to be a far more efficient operating system than Android, its all down to how the O/S and applications are written to make use of the available memory. The Lumia 830 has 1Gb of RAM – which seems to be the standard amount on most Windows Phone devices and this looks like the benchmark amount with Windows Phone 10 on the horizon. I've never had a problem running several applications at once on both the Lumia 820 and 830 so unless you intend running a rendering application as well as 100+ apps at the same time, it does the job and performs well.
The two main (non-phone) reasons for buying the Lumia 830 were use as a car Satnav (more of which later) and as a camera which I carry around with me as I find it very useful in my day-to-day job in IT technical support. The Lumia 820 camera was great and I've took some great shots with it in the two years I've had the phone. However I wanted something a bit more capable and the 830's 10Mp PureView camera caught my attention when the phone was announced last year. I've only had chance to take a few shots since I've had the phone back but I'm very impressed with it. Colour reproduction is very good and the shades especially in the poor January daytime light are not bad at all. I'm looking forward to using this outside all the more as the weather improves.
Couple of shots taken in automatic mode using the Lumia 830 or the river by Stourport-on-Severn
The car Satnav I've been using since the original Nokia maps were launched on the N95 back in 2007. Using the phone as a Satnav is something I've been gradually been doing as the quality of the navigation and mapping has improved over the years to the point where I've stopped using my TomTom PND altogether a just use the phone as a navigation device. It's got me out of a few navigation problems; getting lost in Leeds town centre whilst making my way to a company event (on foot) using Nokia maps on the E71. Another time was when I was using my C7-00 to navigate to a rural site whilst in battery saving mode and virtually no power left (and no way to recharge it as the car 12v supply was knackered) and it got me there on time – an absolute legend.
Choosing HERE maps (the evolution of Nokia maps) was really a no-brainer for one simple reason – offline maps stored on the phone. In Google's world you always have a data connection and download the maps as you go, because you always work in a big city with plenty of data connections. In my job working where a data connection isn't always available (let alone a phone signal, yes this is true in 21st-century UK), if I'm to rely on the phone for navigation, offline maps are essential and the choice where Google maps were simply not even in the running. Yes I know you can download maps or sections prior to travelling, sorry too much hassle and unreliable when HERE does it so much better (and the feature wasn't available when I moved to WP8.1 in Feb '13). I've gone through a number of Satnav mounts in the past few years, trying to find the ultimate one – I'll be giving my verdict on the Nokia CR-123 in a later post. As a quick summary for HERE maps on the Lumia – reliable, does the job getting you from A to B day in, day out – just as you would expect.
Lets round up this post with a summary of the Lumia 830:
I like:
Quality of the screen 5″ 720×1280 gorilla glass.
Exchangable battery and covers.
MicroSD card slot (upto 128Gb).
Wireless charging.
Glance screen.
WordFlow keyboard.
Free satnav with HERE maps.
Cortana (just getting used to this, but first impressions are good).
Not so keen on:
Micro USB socket at the top of the device.
Less-rounded corners than the Lumia 820.
Hardware switches (volume, on/off and camera shutter) aren't a different colour to the frame, but they feel solid/well-engineered as they are now metal.
Not much else at the moment!
I'd give the device a 9/10 rating – The Lumia 830 is a cracking phone to own and use, Windows Phone and Microsoft/Nokia are making the right moves with offering this specification device and I'm looking forward to using it over the coming months!

Pink's 4 Most Epic Video Music Awards Performances — See Her Best Moments At The Show
Pink is the 2017 VMAs' honoree for the Video Vanguard Award and for good reason — she's totally ruled the MTV Video Music Awards for years! Take a walk through her best VMAs performances right here!
Pink, 37, may already be the proud owner of five Moon People (the award granted at the MTV Video Music Awards) but at this year's VMAs she will be given the most prestigious honor the award show gives out — the Video Vanguard Award. So what better time to look back on her best performances throughout the year's than today, Aug. 27, the day she will be honored for her amazing track record! From her first performance of "Just Like a Pill" back in 2002 to her 2015 Twitter rant implying Demi Lovato's performance was "disgusting," here are all of Pink's best VMAs moments. Click here to see pics of the craziest outfits ever worn to the VMAs.
Check out the gallery above to see pictures of all of Pink's VMAs performances, starting with her amazing rendition of her hit "Just Like A Pill" at the 2002 award show. The rocker chick had short black hair at the time and wore a sultry leather outfit as she flipped the bird to the audience. Total bad girl! Then in 2008, Pink hit the MTV Video Music Awards stage again for a performance of her Funhouse track "So What." This time her locks were platinum blonde and went nicely with the fiery theme she had going! She came back again the very next year for one of her most memorable appearances that included a choreographed acrobatic performance to "Sober." However, the best performance she EVER gave was at the 2012 VMAs, when she flew across the stage on a swing made of an oversized set of plush red lips for a rendition of, you guessed it, "Blow Me One Last Kiss."
Though that was Pink's most recent VMAs performance, she did make a strong statement at the 2015 award show without even attending that night! She took to Instagram after watching performances by artists like The Weeknd, Demi, Twenty One Pilots, A$AP Rocky and Miley Cyrus, to write a message full of "disgust." "I felt embarrassed and sad," she wrote of watching the show. "And old. We're getting old. But in all seriousness; I felt sad because music is supposed to inspire. It saved my life. This trash won't save any kid's life." Though she defended a few performances, she stood her ground, even when she was bashed on Twitter for her comments. We can't wait to see what we get from Pink tonight, as she will be giving what is sure to be another rockin' performance and an amazing acceptance speech!

New city bike/ped coordinator to give voice to cyclists, walkers
Amy Ingles, Jacksonville's new Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator, knows of what she speaks and practices what she preaches.
A native of Royal Palm Beach, Florida, the Riverside resident has "lived quite happily without owning a car for nearly four years" and is an avid bicycle commuter, riding nearly nine miles from her office downtown to attend a bike-ped public meeting in San Jose.
Ingles even has a WALK tattoo inked on her upper arm as a "way to get people talking," she said.
"People often ask me why I did not get a bike tattoo. I know everyone is not going to get on a bike. However everyone is a pedestrian at some point, and pedestrians of every kind represent the most vulnerable user in the transportation system. It is our most important responsibility to protect them. Walking is the most basic form of transportation available to humans. It takes no training or special equipment. Therefore, it should be safe, comfortable, and convenient for all people, regardless of age, socioeconomic status or physical ability," she said.
Ingles is a Georgia Tech alumnus who received a Bachelor's degree in civil engineering and a Master's degree in both civil engineering and city planning in 2014. Most recently, she sharpened her skills for three years in Boston, Massachusetts, where she conducted innovative research at the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, sat on the board of a fast-growing bicycle co-op called CommonWheels, and did a brief stint as a bicycle courier with Metro Pedal Power.
In taking over the position vacated by Denise Chaplick earlier this year, Ingles has her work cut out for her. According to the Alliance for Biking and Walking 2016 Benchmarking Report, Jacksonville has the highest rate of pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities of the 50 most popular cities in the U.S. Ingles said one of her main goals, along with reducing fatalities, is to "amplify and diversify the bicycling and walking voice."
"I'm thrilled to be working in a position that focuses on an issue so close to my heart: making biking and walking safer, easier and more enjoyable for people of all ages and abilities. I am especially excited to be in a position where I can make very real and impactful change," she said.
"The bicycling and walking community is as diverse as the Jacksonville community as a whole, and the needs we aim to satisfy should reflect that," she continued. "However, it is often the case the most vulnerable users in the community – children, elderly and low-income workers who cannot afford a personal vehicle – are not the ones with the strongest voice. I believe our infrastructure reflects this. I hope to use my advocacy and community-building background to reach out to groups who, for many reasons, have been more difficult to reach. I think this will help the city to build a bicycle and pedestrian network that feels safe and convenient for people of all ages and abilities."
Since she moved to Riverside three months ago, Ingles said she has participated in a few "social" rides including the monthly S-Line Ride with Groundworks Jacksonville, the RAM Ride that starts from Riverside Arts Market each Saturday and a no-drop fitness ride that begins at Open Road Bike Shop in Avondale every Tuesday evening.
The best thing about riding in Jacksonville's historic districts is "no hills," Ingles said. "In the urban core there is a nice grid network that interconnects the various neighborhoods with relatively low-speed roads, providing easy bicycle access to the small commercial districts sprinkled throughout. This makes living without a car quite easy on the day-to-day. The Riverwalk on both banks is an incredible asset and a beautiful way to spend an evening ride and commute to work. Jacksonville is a beautiful city, and I'm enjoying it by bike!" she said.

I am a big believer that if you look great you are going to feel exceptional. Who doesn't love to feel confident whilst working out? Upgrading your gym clothes can be an excellent way to boost your self-esteem. With that in mind, it's time to get fitness motivation with NEUapparel, the stylish active wear brand that has got everyone talking about.
I spotted NEUapparel on Instagram, as you do, and fell in love with their melody of empowering women to feel great whilst working out. NEUapparel includes a stylish range of active wear fit to suit all exercise types. So, if you are a runner, gym goer, yogi or somebody who simply loves to wear active wear on a daily basis (like me) NEUapparel have got you covered!
NEUapparel – £27.99
I am wearing NEUapparel's luxe tonal set in top and bottoms, size small. Keeping it real, beforehand I was a little apprehensive as to how the set would look on me. I'm not exactly gifted in the chest region, so compared to the models I didn't expect the plunge bra to look as good. To all my flat chested women, you CAN wear the luxe tonal sports bra with confidence.
It's very flattering and keeps my chest covered, however I would recommend sizing down as I did almost cause a nipple hazard during burpees. What I love most is it's cute racer back cut out detail. Constructed from a super soft touch 4 way stretch fabric,this sports bra is perfect for my low impact training days.
NEUapparel – £36.00
Nothing screams gym goddess more than when your sports bra matches your leggings. NEU Apparel's luxe tonal bra is the perfect shade of creamy taupe to create an effortlessly chic look when paired with the tonal luxe leggings. Their leggings feel incredible high waisted, squat proof, true to size and actually stay up during your training.
I have worn them during my favourite fitness classes and received compliments along the way. Although, if you sweat a lot like me then expect subtle booty sweat marks. Embrace the sweat, it shouldn't be something to be embarrassed by. Keep training hard and unleash the true gym goddess in you by wearing NEU Apparel.
Hope you liked my NEUapparel activewear review. Please like/share and comment below any activewear brands you would like me to review next.

Stop Feeling Guilty And Just Live Your Life
Stop feeling guilty for being human and flawed and a work in progress.
Stop feeling guilty for being human and flawed and a work in progress.
What has become clear to me over the last year is that we have more control over our life than we think we do. Not about what happens to us (that one is random and crazy), but what we do with it.
Some days the little things that annoy you are all you can see.
We are complicated, contradictory beings, and we don't always make sense (some of us rarely make sense), but accepting that about ourselves is the biggest step toward happiness.
Don't beat yourself up if you are not productive or don't have energy or don't feel like doing much. It's okay. We're hibernating. Nature is resting, and so can you.
You have 95 unfinished, half-finished or barley started articles in your drafts folder.
Nature dies in fall, sleeps in winter, and awakens in the spring. Nothing blooms forever, and neither can we.
All I know is this: Losing two people to the same disease you have hit close to home.
If you're sad, cry. It will make you feel better.
I'm a woman who has learned that being herself is the bravest thing she can ever be.

What's the difference?
Now there is a very important educational tool to prove the percentage of wolf in any dog and the percentage of dog in any supposed pure wolf.
In the past, wolf hybrid / NAID breeders have taken advantage of the fact that experts didn't have the absolute ability to find that wolf chemical DNA marker. We had to depend on experts to identify wolf blood by physical looks and personality.
Experts have now identified the DNA markers specific to the AIDog. These markers also prove the AIDog does not have wolf blood.
Native American Indian Dog (also known as NAID) is a work-around term which wolfdog breeders use to sell their pups. The person who is supposedly responsible for the NAID is a lady by the name of Karen Markel from the state of Michigan who owns and operates a facility known as Majestic View Kennels. This facility was known for producing wolf hybrids or wolfdogs.
Prior to the year 2000, this facility was taking heat for breeding wolfdogs. There were many reports of how these dogs were vicious and aggressive. There were also many reports of attacks on animals and humans, to include young children. Many of these attacks were by dogs reported to be purchased from Majestic View Kennels in Michigan. With all of the negative reports about wolfdogs, Karen Markel stopped referring to her dogs as a wolfdog or wolf hybrid and started calling her dogs Native American Indian Dogs (NAIDs).
Now let's think about this for a moment. If our common dogs are descendants of the wolf as claimed, it took hundreds if not thousands of years to domesticate it in order to permanently change the wild and unpredictable behavior of the wolf into the pets which we have today. How can you possibly breed a wolf to a dog for twenty-five years and expect to breed out the wolf gene from a wolfdog to make it a common dog.
Effective June 29, 2000, the state of Michigan passed a law known as WOLF-DOG CROSS ACT, Act 246. Click here to see the Wolf-Dog Cross Act
Over the years, several breeders throughout the United States have started breeding NAIDs using breeding dogs received from Majestic View Kennels. Anyone selling a dog or puppy claiming the breed is a Native American Indian Dog (NAID) should be aware that these dogs, or the blood lines, more than likely originated from Majestic View Kennels. Please do your research and ask the appropriate questions before committing to purchasing one of these dogs. Imagine falling in love with a pup, spending thousands of dollars for the dog, veterinary care, training and even more training just to discover you cannot handle the dog as it matures. Or even worse, you become an owner of a dog which resorts back to its wild side, becomes aggressive and you end up in the news because of a serious incident involving your dog with other animals or humans, just as hundreds of other owners have found themselves in over the years while trying to raise one of these dogs.
There are plenty of examples of owners who have had great experiences with this wolf hybrid. However, you will find many more owners who have had very bad experiences and were unable to handle a mature wolfdog and had to have the dog euthanized or euthanized by court order. There are also many wolf sanctuaries throughout the United States who have taken in these wolf hybrids because owners could not handle their wolfdog.
These wolfdogs are described as being a large to very large size dog, ranging from 23″ to 36″ tall and weighing from 55 to 120 pounds.
American Indian Dogs (AIDs) are "old dogs" bred in "old ways". A versatile breed by nature, these dogs have been bred as the ultimate companions.
The American Indian Dog (AID) has been traced back 30,000 years in North and South America. It was mainly the many groups of the Plains Indians in the United States who developed these dogs. It was very important to their entire culture. For thousands of years, Native Americans used these dogs for hunting, tracking, guarding and herding. They were also used as pack animals and would pull the family's travois as they moved or migrated. They would keep their owners warm at night and provide wool for weaving and trading. Being a thinking breed, these dogs are very instinctual and territorially conscious. This creates an intense bonding shown in pack loyalty to their family. They are never vicious but always alert and tend to be cautious with strangers. They are excellent home and family dogs capable of adjusting to any environment. Working versatility is one of the breed's exceptional qualities.
The American Indian dog is a working herding type dog, medium-sized, lightly built with a natural looking muzzle and longish pricked ears. Their bushy tail is carried down with a slight curve. The most important objective in preserving this ancient breed is maintaining and improving its natural balance, primitive instincts and versatile working abilities for which it was originally developed. This truly beautiful, naturally balanced, all-American dog was close to extinction only a few years ago. Now, thanks to all the years of research and selective breeding, hopefully they can regain their proper place in our society to teach man to stay in touch with his natural instincts and the beauty around him.
Although there is a look of coyote, there is zero percentage of wolf or coyote in this breed as determined by DNA testing of thirty randomly selected American Indian Dogs, including the breeding dogs.
The American Indian Dog is a medium size dog ranging from 18″ to 21″ tall and weighing 25 to 45 pounds

The Ethics of Dog Breeding
What's the big deal anyway?
As alluring as it sounds, dogs are not meant to be bred with wolves.
One anonymous dog owner nails the issue right on the head with,
No one disputes that these hybrids are the victims of those who create them, own them when they shouldn't, or negligence and abuse. But the MAIN problem is that you cannot breed the dominant gene for PREDATION out in only a few generations. When will those who promote and create these animals TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for the numerous people (mostly children) who have been severely injured or killed by these hybrids? This is NOT the animals' fault; it is the fault of those who INSIST upon creating them—-even despite laws against that in some states. As a Siberian Husky owner and lover, I also resent the use of this dog breed and others to create these hybrids, so that when something bad happens the owners lie that their animal is a Husky, Malamute, Shepherd, etc. and give them an undeserved bad reputation. Sled dog breeds can more than satisfy anyone's desire to have a wolf-LIKE type dog WITHOUT having to worry about the dangers of predation. AND DO NOT try to say that plenty of dogs are aggressive so why pick on wolfdogs; that is two different things (even if dangers to children may occur with both). ANYONE who has seen a wolfdog that was apparently docile, and who was raised with a particular child, suddenly and inexplicably snap and attack or kill that child knows what I am talking about. The last child killed by a wolfdog in our state pushed the child down and ripped the child's jugular vein in merely a matter of less than a minute. THAT is predation, and you cannot breed that out in the SHORT time that wolfdogs have been in existence (since late '60's).

I'm very excited to bring you the final guest in a series of four holiday-themed guest posts here at Ready, Set, Craft! Today I'm very happy to have Lindsey of Your Memory Mosaic guest posting and sharing her scrapbooking talents with us. Enjoy!
Two-Page Holiday Layouts
Two-Page Holiday Layouts
Hi Everyone! Thanks Joanne for the chance to do a guest post on your wonderfully crafty little piece of the world. I've known Joanne since we were 14 and 15 singing in show choir and doing musical theater together… she is my favorite Sumo Ballerina. (You can ask her about that one!) When Joanne asked me to do a post for her blog I was nervous, but excited at the chance to share something I love with all of her readers.
Alright – here we go! I don't know about other scrapbookers out there, but for me I have A LOT of different things just lying around my scrapbook area. For this layout I wanted to use the stuff I already had on hand. If nothing else it proves to me that I don't actually have to run out and buy the latest and greatest papers and embellishments available.
(I do apologize if the photos aren't the best quality – my craft room is in the basement and while I love having my own space the lighting isn't the best!)
What you'll need:
2 pieces of dark sage green 12x12 papers
1 piece light sage green 12x13 paper
1 piece coordinating dark red paper
1 piece of your favorite 12x12 holiday paper
6 Mini Silver brads
White sticker letters (not shown or you can use your Cricut Expressions as I did)
½ thick white ribbon
Two holiday stamps
Gold stamp pad
Red Pen (for some reason I wasn't thinking and included a black pen in the picture)
Personal cutter(s)
(For the solid papers if the dark/light green and red don't match your pattern paper – no problem. Just select whatever papers you want from what you already have on hand. I picked these papers because I felt their either matched or went well with the colors in my pattern paper.)
Step 1:
Use your pattern paper and cut out one 4 ½ inch and one 1 ½ inch strip and adhere them to the darker green paper as shown:
Step 2:
Use your white sticker letters to spell out the words, "Silent Night" and "Holy Night" or whatever title trips your trigger. I picked this because I had the song in my head. I didn't have enough white sticker letters to make out the words so I used my Cricut Expressions to cut the letters out for me. Adhere "Silent Night" to the top of one page as shown. Adhere "Holy Night" to the middle of second page like you see in the photo below.
Step 3:
Cut out two 14 inch or so pieces of ribbon. Adhere one piece to the bottom of page one a big inch from the bottom. Adhere the second ribbon to the top of the second page a big inch from the top edge. I am pretty lax on how I adhere ribbon. I just wrap it around the edge of the paper and use some scotch tape to hold it in place. It hasn't failed me yet so that is how I do it.
Step 4:
Cut out 2 mattes in the red, 2 mattes in the dark green – both 4 ½" x 4 ½". After that cut out 4 white mattes 4 ¼" x 4 ¼" (These will be the perfect size to add your 4x4 photos after the holidays!) Glue the mattes together and affix them to the pages as shown.
Step 5:
Create two little mattes – 1 green and 1 red (2 ¼" x 2 ¼") and 2 white ones (2" x 2")
Step 6:
Use your two holiday stamps and gold ink to stamp the images on the small mattes on the diagonal as shown. Adhere one to each page like you see in the photos. (After I stamped these I felt they needed a little something extra and added a little red ink on them so they had a little more pop!)
Step 7:
I love me some mini brads! Use your 6 silver mini brads to add a little shine to your page. On the first page I used three along the bottom left hand corner spaced an inch apart. On the second page I placed them on the right edge toward the top. I like them there, but you can put them wherever your little hearts' desire!
AND YOU ARE DONE! I hope you enjoy putting together this two page holiday layout as much as I did creating it for you! I hope it is quick and easy to put together so you can add four 4x4 photos after the holidays.
Thanks again Joanne! Merry Christmas everyone!
A little bit about my work. I started Your Memory Mosaic recently after much thought and prodding by my husband and friends. I love scrapbooking when I'm not playing wife, mom or paralegal so moving it toward something for extra income made sense. I really enjoy making pre-made layouts and scrapbooks for people to use themselves or give as gifts. There is nothing better for a new mom or newlywed couple than a beautiful scrapbook to admire for years to come. Especially when they just have to add the photos! If you are interested at all in speaking to me about making a scrapbook for you please email me at email@example.com.
Thanks so much Lindsey! Be sure to leave Lindsey a comment and let her know that you enjoyed her tutorial, and then head over to her blog to check out more of her work. And don't forget to tell her that Joanne at Ready, Set, Craft! sent you over!

- Preliminary investigations by DCI revealed Ken Osinde was one of the directors of Sanlam General Insurance Ltd
- The insurance firm was allegedly paid KSh 47 million by Italian company CMC di Ravenna as a subcontractor
- DCI is seeking to establish what kind of services Sanlam offered in relation to the Arror, Kimwarer projects
- Several directors of various companies are being grilled by DCI regarding their involvements in the mega projects
Deputy President William Ruto's aide, Ken Osinde, has been caught up in the multi-billion shilling Arror and Kimwarer dams scandal in which KSh 21 billion meant for the projects was allegedly siphoned by a few individuals.
Osinde became a person of interest to the detectives after it was established a company he is associated with was subcontracted by controversial Italian company CMC di Ravenna which had been contracted by Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) to construct the dams.

Fresh details emerged on Wednesday, February 27, indicating Osinde is a director at Sanlam General Insurance Ltd, one of the companies whose bosses were summoned by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in connection with the Arror and Kimwarer dams scandal.
According to the DCI boss George Kinoti, the insurer was paid KSh 47 million by CMC di Ravenna as a subcontractor in the controversial projects, but it was not clear what kind of services the insurance firm offered in return to justify the payment.
"We are pursuing the insurance company to establish what they insured. If they insured the projects, then they will have to pay Kenyans for the loss incurred so far," Kinoti said as quoted by Daily Nation.

TUKO.co.ke understands the money paid to Sanlam by CMC di Ravenna was part of the KSh 21 billion that was wired to the Italian contractor by the National Treasury and which was to go towards construction of the Arror and Kimwarer dams in Elgeyo-Marakwet.
The KSh 21 billion was part of KSh 65 billion that the Treasury had borrowed from foreign banks, against the advice of former Attorney General Githu Muigai, for the construction of the mega reservoirs.
The dams were being built to boost production of hydro-electricity and irrigation within Elgeyo-Marakwet county with the aim of mitigating perennial challenges of drought.

Havila Kystruten selects Havyard to deliver the ship design and extensive equipment package for four new vessels
Tersan and Barreras will build Havila Kystruten's four vessels, while Havyard Design & Solutions will deliver the ship design and an extensive equipment package for all the vessels, Havyard said in its press release.
'I am delighted to announce that the last obstacles to the building contracts have now been removed, thereby securing delivery in the third and fourth quarter 2020,' says CEO of Havila Kystruten Arild Myrvoll.
CEO Geir Johan Bakke of Havyard Group says that this contract is a milestone.
'This is a record contract for Havyard Design & Solutions that will help to consolidate our position as a world-class maritime technology group with broad expertise in many segments,' says CEO Bakke.
Havyard Design & Solutions has been working on the design for some time, and the steel class drawings have already been completed, which means that the steel cutting begins already before the turn of the year.
Both Havyard Group companies and other Norwegian equipment suppliers will deliver equipment for the package, and the contract will have ripple effects in the Norwegian maritime cluster.
Design Manager Arve Helsem Leine of Havyard Design & Solutions comments:
'The close collaboration between the customer and the companies in the maritime cluster has enabled a design and equipment package to be put together that really delivers on the qualities the customer was looking for.'
Gisle Vinjevoll Thrane, Senior Vice President Sales at Havyard Design & Solutions, agrees. He is pleased to have entered yet another segment.
'Our and our partners' expertise, experience and tools enable us to take on more and more new challenges from our good demanding customers,' says Gisle Vinjevoll Thrane.
With the aid of advanced simulation models, technological innovations and optimal adaptation of the hull and equipment, Havyard Design & Solutions has designed a vessel that meets the Ministry of Transport and Communications' requirements by a wide margin. This means that Havila Kystruten's vessels will make a significant contribution to conserving the environment along the route the ships will sail.
