9.1 To receive: Mid-year Financial Report:
The report had been circulated to all Cllrs. prior to the meeting and was accepted by all members present.
10. Planning Applications (as previously circulated)
The following applications had been received and circulated to all Cllrs. for comment.
1. CA/14/01820/FUL – Erection of two semi-detached dwellings within the cartilage of a listed building – Honey Hill Farm, 11 Honey Hill – BPC comments – Close proximity to two neighbouring properties, both would be overlooked by the development. The generation of more traffic entering and exiting, from and onto a major link road from Whitstable to Canterbury A290. The entrance is on a bend and is not visible when travelling northerly to Whitstable. The entrance is also diagonally opposite to the entrance to a holiday let business which also generates a lot of traffic in and out during peak times. The design bears little relation to an agricultural workers cottage. There has been no attempt to blend the design with the existing listed building on the site. No attempt has been made to plant a buffer hedge or screen to afford privacy to the overlooked property on the west perimeter. There is no mention on the drawing or the Design Statement of the ditch which runs along the western perimeter and then westward towards the woods. This is part of a rain gully originating on the A290 opposite the Royal Oak Public house and traverses the entrance road to the Park Homes and along the back of 4 properties before entering the site. This must be kept clear etc as there have been previous localised flooding issues. Blean Parish Council has concerns that this application is now the third application for the site. There is further land still available on the site and also an old grain store. There is a need for a strategic plan to be submitted for the whole site rather then the present piecemeal applications. Due to the issues raised about the site entrance and road safety Blean Parish Council believe that Kent Highways should be consulted and also Southern Water due to the drainage issue. The Parish Council feels that it would be more appropriate for any development to be single storey in the style of hop pickers huts. Any development if approved to be subject to the provision of a new pavement along the A290, with a traffic island to aid pedestrians crossing the road. Blean Parish Council's Planning Sub-committee have requested a site visit with Mr David Campbell the Planning Officer for this application. Blean Parish Council make a
Sheet 1732
request to speak at any Planning Meeting convened to consider this application as we hold strong objections to the proposed application.
2. CA/14/02036/FUL – Demolition of existing bungalow and replacement with new two-storey dwelling – Hempshall Lodge, Honey Hill, Blean CT5 3BW – in circulation
3. CA/14/02049/FUL – Erection of a single-storey side extension, demolition of existing conservatory and erection of a single-storey side extension, enlargement of existing dormer windows, tile hanging to existing two-storey projection at firdt floor level and replacement front boundary wall – Oak House, Pean Hill CT5 3BJ – in circulation
4. CA/14/01930/FUL – Shed for storage of gardening tools – Blean Village Hall, 2 School Lane CT2 9JA – in circulation
10.1 Decision Notices:
Overcladding and window replacement to existing building – Ingram Building, UKC – GRANTED
Proposed garage with store above to replace existing attached garage and outbuilding
– Elsinore, 2 Giles Lane – REFUSED
Work to Trees in a Conservation Area
Tree Notices – None
11. Date of next meeting:
The date of the next meeting is 10th November at 7.30pm.
Cllr. Simmonds reminded everyone to complete the KCC budget questionnaire.
12 Any Other Business:
Cllr. Flack spoke of looking into the possibility of boosting the Parish Council's WiFi to facilitate the village hall.
Cllr. Flack also reminded the Councillors to boost residents' awareness of completing the Parish Plan questionnaire on-line or paper copies obtained from the parish office or the village shop.
There being no further business the meeting closed at 8.50pm.
Since my last report to Council, I have received 39 messages from Kent Police and Trading Standards, the relevant ones of which have been circulated through the usual network.
Bicycle thefts are occurring throughout the division, particularly at the University, so owners are advised to pay particular attention to security when cycles are left unattended.
Telephone scams of many different types are still being received by local residents, one in particular claims to be from the local council, saying that council tax has been overpaid. The caller actually quotes the resident's tax reference number, and asks for bank details to be confirmed in order that a repayment can be processed.
Godfrey King NHW Coordinator
Chairman's Update October 2014
Following our last meeting various items have been followed up as outlined below:
Planning Application re: Honey Hill Farm – the Planning Sub-committee met with two residents directly affected by the proposed development and a viewing of the area took place. Following the meeting strong objections were lodged with Canterbury City Council [as circulated] and a further meeting was arranged with Mr David Campbell, Planning Officer which proved very helpful. Informal discussions took place between BPC, the residents and Mr P Kay the developer. We are hopeful that the design, drainage and access issues will re-addressed.
We have now received accurate measurements for the cycle racks and are in discussion with representatives of BVHMC about the siting of these etc.
Following the discussion at our September meeting, Mr Paul Barnes of British Red Cross will attend a public meeting on 30th October to demonstrate and discuss the use of Pads within the community. He will be able to answer all of our questions about this matter. We will then make a decision at our November meeting in the light of our knowledge from the meeting.
The dissolution of the Leggatt Charity is now in full procedure with Charity Commission and the banks accounts are in the process of being closed and the monies temporarily transferred and ring-fenced in the BPC bank account until final distribution.
The flip chart has been purchased and also the new interpretation panel about Blean has been installed. Many thanks to Godfrey for the photographs.An application has been made to RAMP for funding towards a Youth Shelter [meeting place]. During a recent coffee morning I was able to talk to some of the residents living adjacent to the Recreation Ground about the meeting place for our younger residents and its siting. The concept was well received with good ideas about siting.
Parish Plan Questionnaire has been launched and although we have had a few technical problems replies are now begining to come in.
Barbara Anne Flack
Blean Parish Council
Report from BVHMC to BPC meeting 13th October 2014 – Carol Sturgeon
Designation of disabled car parking places remains outstanding and on the committee's agenda for marking out and yellow paint. A revised regular users' hall letting agreement was finalised and has been issued. The key is still needed for the car park barrier to lock it; the coded version will be fitted ASAP.
Fund raising has continued with monthly coffee mornings, lunches, sales of home produced goods and products, the hall is a popular venue for people to meet regularly, talk together, promote other groups and generate common interest in Blean, with the Heritage Museum open for visitors as an added bonus.
All profits from the volunteers fund raising are invested in the hall & fabric.
The next coffee morning event is: Sat 25th October 10am – 1pm.
The monthly held dementia awareness lunches have proved hugely popular and needed, approx 50 people regularly turn up to enjoy a freshly prepared and cooked 3 course meal. This additional hall resource to provide catering on a semi-industrial basis is hugely appreciated and valued as it will help to address and meet community need for alternative and new services.
A notice board dedicated to Dementia awareness will be placed on the outside of the hall soon to publicise the lunches and provide written information as many people rely on this as they have no access to the internet. This isn't a fund raising or profit making event, the cost of the food only is met by personal donations which currently cover food costs, if/when this fund is depleted a small charge for the lunch will be made, according to people's individual circumstances.
A separate and regular community based weekday lunch club for others of all abilities, needs and ages in the village, is also desirable, other community minded groups may wish to collaborate and host this. Guidance will be offered to those who wish to cook to ensure they're au fait with the extractor system and operation of the range cooker. BVHMC will be purchasing essential cooking utensils, trays and fundamental equipment for the main kitchen from current fund raising as we continue to provide our own equipment at the moment. This will be undertaken and purchased ASAP.Judging took place in June by the S&SEiB assessor for Blean's "Its Your Neighbourhood" entry. The assessment report was received in September which showed Blean on the second level as "improving" which was remarkable as this was out first time entry! We thank everyone who collaborated in the Blooming Blean project which made such a positive and beautiful impact in the village and community environment. The report is being circulated to our collaborators for their information, interest and with helpful tips for further improvement if Blean community enters again next year: Blean RtheR volunteers, Blean Pre-school, BPC, BVHMC, FOBC and the John Graham Centre all worked brilliantly together.
BVHMC's AGM is open to the public and will be held on Monday 27th Oct @ 7.30pm in the hall/committee room – everyone welcome. That concludes my report.
Carol Sturgeon 07.10.2014.

It kills hundreds of human and animal lives every year. Being alarming and recurring has still not changed its effects on the state and lives of people. People face the same misery and problems every year. The problem can be solved either by the Government and Politician or Engineer. Politicians who instead of using Flood as a vote bank trick and taking few steps in the season between the months of July –August and forgetting it for the rest of the year can develop a mechanism which will work for longer period of time. Engineers on the other hand are restricted to the knowledge from their syllabus and little knowledge of the problem and people.

Supreme Court Upholds Landmark Berkeley Cell Phone Radiation Right To Know Ordinance and Rejects Industries Appeal
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a free-speech challenge brought by the telecommunications industry against Berkeley, California's Cell Phone Right to Know Ordinance.
Berkeley's ordinance, first proposed in 2010 and passed in 2015, requires retailers to inform consumers that cell phones emit radiation that can exceed radiation limits when phones are close to the body. Since the Ordinance went into effect in 2016, it has survived multiple court challenges by the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA), which claimed the Ordinance violates free-speech rights. In August, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court panel upheld the Ordinance by concluding that the public health issues at hand were "substantial" and that the "text of the Berkeley notice was literally correct." The CTIA was represented by former U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson and six industry groups filed amicus briefs in the case. The City of Berkeley was represented pro bono by Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig.
The Berkeley Cell Phone Right To Know Ordinance requires retailers post a notice with the following text.
"The City of Berkeley requires that you be provided the following notice: To assure safety, the Federal Government requires that cell phones meet radiofrequency (RF) exposure guidelines. If you carry or use your phone in a pants or shirt pocket or tucked into a bra when the phone is ON and connected to a wireless network, you may exceed the federal guidelines for exposure to RF radiation. Refer to the instructions in your phone or user manual for information about how to use your phone safely."
In response to this historic Supreme Court ruling, Devra Davis, PhD, MPH, President of Environmental Health Trust (EHT), issued the following statement:
"Congratulations to the Supreme Court and the Town Council and Citizens of Berkeley, California for upholding The Right to Know – our precious First Amendment guarantees that you have the right to know that cell phones emit radiation and that radiation exposure above the legalized maximum limit can occur when the phone is touching the body.
Democracy rests on an informed public that freely consents to be governed. We cannot consent to what we do not know. The right to know is essential to all citizens. And the duty to warn about potential hazards is an obligation of any company. Wherever the right to know and the duty to warn are not followed democracy itself is endangered.
We at the Environmental Health Trust want to extend a great big thank you to Professor Lawrence Lessig of Harvard Law – and to all the many individuals who have dedicated their time to this important work, including Joel Moskowitz, Ellie Marks, Cindy Franklin, Antoinette Stein, Lloyd Morgan, and many more."
Investigations at FCC accredited labs by the Chicago Tribune, the law firm of Fegan Scott, and CBC Broadcasting, as well as published research on the hundreds of cell phones tested by the government of France, have revealed that some of today's most popular smartphones when tested in body contact positions could emit up to 5 to 11 times the amount of radiation permitted by current FCC radiation exposure guidelines.
Watch Appeals court deliberations here.
Dr. Davis, Visiting Professor of Medicine, The Hebrew University, and the author of more than 220 scientific publications, is also the author of Disconnect–the truth about cellphone radiation. Dr. Davis testified on this issue at Berkeley City Council in 2011 and 2015 alongside Joel Moskowitz, PhD, the Director of the Center for Family and Community Health at the University of California, Berkeley and Lawrence Lessig of Harvard Law who has represented Berkeley pro bono. In addition, Davis also testified in the 2009 Congressional Hearings on cell phone radiation and presented the fine print warnings on cell phone radiation buried in cell phones, urging the Senators to promote public access to that information.

Law 37 deals with 'obstructing the field', for which a batsman can be adjudicated out, if he is found willfully obstructing the ball from hitting the stumps. At times it gets tricky as well. In this article we will purely focus on the the instances from history of cricket when the batsman was out 'obstructing the field. But this form of getting dismissed is rarest of rare as they would put it. Yet, there have been times a batsman has got out committing this crime.
Here are the list of cricketers who have unwillingly made the list:
Ben Stokes: Obstructing the field even got arguably the most dangerous hitter in modern times. Stokes was also guilty of being dismissed obstructing the field.
It happened during the second One-Day International between hosts England and Australia and the match got engulfed in controversies after Ben Stokes was given out.
It seemed the then 24-year old was trying to protect himself more than anything else, Stokes hit Starc straight back, a ferocious Starc threw the ball back at Stokes, who in order to save himself stuck his hand out, the ball got his hand and there was an appeal. Stokes was on the ground trying to make his ground.
The Australian team, however, decided to appeal suggesting that Stokes was out of the crease and had intentionally struck out his hand. On-field umpires Kumar Dharmasena and Tim Robinson decided to hand over the final call to the third umpire, Joe Wilson, who ruled in the favour of the reigning world champions, much to the displeasure of the Lord's crowd who responded with loud boos.
Captain Eoin Morgan was seen having a long discussion on the rules of the game with the umpire even after Stokes was gone.
Anwar Ali: During a match against South Africa in November 2013, he became the fifth player in the history to be given out obstructing the field. He also happens to be the fourth from his country to commit this crime.
Ali, while trying to sneak a quick bye run, purposely came in the way of the throw from wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock while running on the pitch, and was declared out. The decision was made in consultation with the third umpire. By the look of it, it was evident that it was intentional.
Mohammad Hafeez: He too committed that same mistake in the same series versus the Proteas in 2013. In fact, he was out for a duck. Pakistan were batting needing 234 to win. Tsotsobe was the bowler, he bowled the ball on Imran Farhat's legs, he flicked it leg side for a single, but he mid way decided there was a couple. He ran, the throw was to the wicketkeepers end. The wicketkeeper saw an opportunity in the bowlers end where Hafeez was running. De Kock threw the ball, but Hafeez who would have been well-short of his ground came in the way of the throw.
There was an appeal, after a lot of dilly-dally Hafeez was given out.
Inzamam-ul-Haq: The bulky looking Pakistani batsman always found running a very tough ask and was runout on many occasions but the one we will talk about is a very funny incident that occurred against India. In a closely contested encounter between India and Pakistan in Peshawar in 2006, Inzamam-ul-Haq fell sour of the rules after being dismissed with Pakistan requiring 40 from 41 balls. He then was playing an important hand for them in helping them steer to victory.
Suresh Raina had aimed a throw at the stumps, and Inzamam had blocked the throw with his bat. Umpires Asad Rauf and Simon Taufel consulted each other and Taufel ruled Inzamam out, after the Indians went up in appeal.
It is true that Inzy was out of his crease and never tried deliberately to come in the way of the throw. But Suresh Raina who was aiming for the stumps found Inzy in the way, who could only put his bat out so that the ball does not hit him.
Inzamam had said later, "In my role as the Pakistan captain, I would say that the appeal from the Indian fielders was against the spirit of cricket. Certainly, there are several modes in which a batsman can be declared out, but many of them are not in the spirit of the game. I am particularly referring to obstructing the field, handling the ball and hit-the-ball twice dismissals; also about the illegal practice of underarm bowling and running out a batsman while backing up."
Mohinder Amarnath: During the 1989 Nehru Cup while playing Sri Lanka, Amarnath kicked the ball away from the bowler to avoid being run out. He was trying to make his way back to the crease after his call for a single was turned down and he was sent back by his partner Navjot Sidhu. Amarnath happens to be the only batsman who has been out 'handling the ball' in 1986 and 'obstructing the field' in 1989.
Ramiz Raja: The Pakistan top-order batsman was the first cricketer to be given out for obstructing the field. It was in 1987 during a Pakistan vs Australia match. Raja was batting on 98, and that moment arrived on the last ball of the match, with 23 runs still to get for Pakistan. He was looking to get to his century by picking a couple, he knew there was no way he was going to make it so he stopped the throw with his bat. The umpire gave him out for obstructing the field.

- stacked widget's property "id" replaced with "stackIndex" property (int).
- tab widget: currentPage property (QWidget*) -> currentIndex (int)
Forms Refactoring
1st Phase
Started by Jstaniek on 3 Jan 2009, finished on 18 Feb 2009
Status: formeditor/ & plugins/forms/ done
Reasons for refactoring:
- The process of instantiating a form (the Form class) is very complicated now what makes it very hard to properly implement subforms
- The code full of interdependencies and thus is fragile when adding new functionality or fixing bugs
- The FormManager class centralizes a number of operations that shall belong to Form itself
- The naming of methods and classes can be improved, e.g. Form -> FormController
- The ObjectTree* classes introduce redundancy as we already have QWidget hierarchy, and extensible property system; this complicates the code
- Form and FormManager:
- FormManager removed. Most facilities of FormManager merged into Form. Thus we are no longer track 'active form' on switching between forms; instead each Form object keeps necessary information.
- void FormManager::insertWidget(const QByteArray &classname) moved
- void FormManager::stopInsert() moved as abortWidgetInserting()
- void FormManager::enterConnectingState() moved as enterConnectingState()
- void FormManager::stopCreatingConnection() moved as abortCreatingConnection()
- void FormManager::slotPointerClicked() moved as enterWidgetSelectingState()
- Form::State enum defined instead of multiple boolean attributes of FormManager
- FormManager::isInserting() and FormManager::isCreatingConnection() removed, Form::state() is used instead
- Design or View mode is expressed using Mode enum value, not boolean flag
- Form::setSelectedWidget(QWidget *w, bool add, bool dontRaise, bool moreWillBeSelected) replaced with Form::selectWidget(QWidget *w, Form::WidgetSelectionFlags)
- Form::deSelectWidget(QWidget*) replaced with Form::deselectWidget(QWidget*)
- bool FormManager::isTopLevel(QWidget*) moved to Form::isTopLevelWidget(QWidget*)
- FormManager::selectedClass() removed
- WidgetLibrary* FormManager::createWidgetLibrary(FormManager* m, const QStringList& supportedFactoryGroups) removed, WidgetLibrary is instantiated directly by KexiFormPart
- FormManager::dirty(KFormDesigner::Form *form, bool isDirty = true) signal moved to Form::modified() signal
- FormManager::showFormUICode() moved to KexiFormManager
- FormManager::m_emitSelectionSignalsUpdatesPropertySet removed since we're not using windowChanged() (??)
- void FormManager::setObjectTreeView(ObjectTreeView *treeview) moved to KexiFormManager::init()
- WidgetPropertySet
- removed, its code moved to Form
- emitWidgetPropertyChanged() removed
- Added #ifdef KFD_SIGSLOTS to disable code related to visual handling signal/slots connection
- FormWidget
- code moved to FormWidget.h and FormWidget.cpp
- clearForm() removed (let's hopw QWidget update() is enough)
- Commands:
- Paste/Cut/Copy commands use QApplication::clipboard() now instead of FormManager::self()->m_domDoc, which has been removed
- PropertyCommand::property() renamed to PropertyCommand::propertyName()
- added operator<< for kDebug()
- Container:
- void setSelectedWidget(QWidget *selected, bool add, bool dontRaise = false, bool moreWillBeSelected = false) -> selectWidget(QWidget *w, Form::WidgetSelectionFlags flags = Form::DefaultWidgetSelectionFlags)
- LayoutType enum moved to Form
- setLayout() -> setLayoutType()
- KexiFormPart
- slotPropertyChanged() moved to Form::handleWidgetPropertyChanged(), so Form::widgetPropertyChanged() signal can be now removed
- slotAutoTabStopsSet()'s code moved to Form::editTabOrder() itself
- KexiFormPart::static_formsLibrary moved to KexiFormManger
- slotWidgetCreatedByFormsLibrary(QWidget*) moved to KexiFormManger
- WidgetLibrary* KexiFormPart::library() moved to KexiFormManager
- assignAction() moved to KexiFormManager
- KexiFormManger
- added static self()
- is initialized by KexiFormPart
2nd Phase
Jstaniek, 2009-04-25..2009-05-10
Status: DONE
- WidgetFactory refactored
- the main change is that we do not keep pointer to a currently handled container/widget/inline-editor in per-factory manner, this is kept per-form, so WidgetFactory::editor(), setEditor(), widget(), setWidget() have been removed
- added:
- InlineEditorCreationArgument class - arguments used by Form::createInlineEditor() and WidgetFactory::startInlineEditing()
- renamed:
- virtual bool startEditing(const QByteArray &classname, QWidget *w, Container *container) = 0 to virtual bool startInlineEditing(InlineEditorCreationArguments& args) = 0
- resizeEditor() made public
- virtual bool changeText(const QString &newText) renamed to virtual bool changeInlineText(Form *form, QWidget *widget, const QString& text);
- void changeProperty(const char *name, const QVariant &value, Form *form) renamed to void changeProperty(Form *form, QWidget *widget, const char *name, const QVariant &value);
- moved:
- void createEditor(const QByteArray &classname, const QString &text, QWidget *w, Container *container, QRect geometry, Qt::Alignment alignment, bool useFrame = false, bool multiLine = false, Qt::BackgroundMode background = Qt::NoBackground) moved to void Form::createInlineEditor(const KFormDesigner::WidgetFactory::InlineEditorCreationArguments& args);
- contents of disableFilter() moved to Form
- eventFilter() moved to Form::eventFilter()
- resetEditor() moved to Form::resetInlineEditor()
- disableFilter() moved to Form::disableFilter()
- changeInlineTextInternal() moved to Form::changeInlineTextInternal()
- now uses InlineTextEditingCommand
- inlineEditorDeleted() moved to
- slotTextChanged() moved to Form::slotInlineTextChanged()
- editorDeleted() moved to Form::editorDeleted()
- widgetDestroyed() moved to Form::widgetDestroyed()
- editorText() moved to Form::inlineEditorText()
- setEditorText() moved to Form::setInlineEditorText()
- m_editedWidgetClass moved to Form::Private::editedWidgetClass
- m_firstText moved to Form::Private::originalInlineText
- m_editor moved to Form::Private::inlineEditor
- m_container moved to Form::Private::inlineEditorContainer;
- removed:
- void setEditor(QWidget *widget, QWidget *editor);
- QWidget *editor(QWidget *widget) const;
- void setWidget(QWidget *widget, Container *container);
- QWidget *widget() const;
- QPointer<ResizeHandleSet> m_handles;
- QPointer<QWidget> m_widget;
- ContainerFactory:
- addTabPage() moved to internal AddTabAction, so context (container, widget) is no longer kept globally
- similarly, renameTabPage() moved to internal RenameTabAction
- similarly, removeTabPage() moved to internal RemoveTabAction
- similarly, addStackPage() moved to internal AddStackPageAction
- similarly, removeStackPage() moved to internal RemoveStackPageAction
- similarly, nextStackPage() and prevStackPage() moved to internal GoToStackPageAction
- ResizeHandleSet:
- added Form* form() const
- Commands:
- use InlineTextEditingCommand in Form::changeInlineTextInternal() to get undo/redo functionality for inline editing
- KexiDBFactory updated for the new API
- ported code from void FormManager::initForm(Form *form) to KexiFormView::initForm()
3rd Phase
Jstaniek, 2010-09-01..
- ObjectTreeView/ObjectTreeViewItem renamed to WidgetTreeWidget/WidgetTreeWidgetItem and ported to QTreeWidget/QTreeWidgetItem
- ...
Additional notes
- Reimplement QWidget::showEvent(QEvent*) [virtual protected] instead of QWidget::show() [virtual public]. Also add if (!event->spontanous()) condition, as we're most often not interested in handling spontaneous events. Do the same for QWidget::hide()/QWidget::hideEvent(QEvent*).
- Note: TODO in Kexi!
- Use QRubberBand instead of painting using XOR
- already used in KexiTableView and the query designer for drag indicators
- TODO: use it in forms for displaying rectangles when inserting or resizing widgets

Swiss airframer Pilatus turned in a solid annual result for 2018, posting revenues of $1.074 billion and net income of $154.5 million on deliveries of 128 aircraft: 18 PC-24s, 80 PC-12 NGs, 27 PC-21s, and three PC-6s. It was the first time annual revenues had topped the $1 billion mark since 2015. Order intake for the year was $980 million, boosting the company's backlog to $2.07 billion.
Milestones for 2018 included delivering the first customer PC-24 to U.S. customer PlaneSense in February, opening a new aircraft completion center in Broomfield, Colorado in October, beginning construction on a new Australia facility, and selling 20 PC-12 NG turboprops to China. Pilatus said it expects the new Broomfield center could deliver up to 30 new PC-24s per year and plans to increase employment there over the next three years. Pilatus added 150 new jobs worldwide in 2018, growing its workforce to 2,283.
Pilatus plans to reopen the PC-24 order book and will open a new aircraft assembly building in Switzerland later this year, said chairman Oscar Schwenk. He added that Pilatus will continue to focus on product and service improvements in 2019.
The PC-24 is involved in post-certification testing, including steep approaches at London City and Lugano Agno, Switzerland as well as certification approvals for off-pavement landing. Last year the first aeromedical interior was installed in a PC-24 for Australia's Royal Flying Doctor Service. Pilatus also upgraded the control software for the PC-12 NG and developed a new maintenance plan for all PC-12 models that cuts maintenance costs by 20 to 40 percent. The company said it is continuing its focus on training, and last year Pilatus's in-house center in Stans, Switzerland trained 684 students.

Let's see.
Josh and Patrick are nearly finished fencing the expansion of the field. Another two acres to plant! I've been trying to be patient and relaxed as we wait for this big project to come to an end. We have so many plants that need to go into the ground that have just been sitting in the cold frame for weeks — sweet onions, leeks, endives and escaroles, cauliflower, kohlrabi, broccoli, lettuce and now 80 pounds of potatoes! But, the weather has been very wet and cold, so there isn't much we can do anyway. We are hoping it dries out in the next day or two, so Josh can make 40 some beds and we can plant non-stop for a couple of days. Cross your fingers! We really, really need some dry weather.
We had another great farmers' market despite arctic wind and frigid temperatures. Josh was basically holding the canopy from blowing away and toppling one of our customers. We sold all our produce even on a yucky day and the egg sales were up, which is great. We had some really good feedback from folks about the eggs. People love them! Yippee! We sold produce for a neighboring farm, Whistling Duck, since they had to go away for the week, so in exchange, we have their John Deere tractor for the week. Needless to say, Josh has been very happy.
As we go to market, we are really beginning to learn what people like to eat. Salad mix and spinach are big ones. People love the fresh greens! We have also been growing and selling this wasabi like mustard green that people have been loving. One chef was going to wrap ahi tuna in the leaves. Yum! It is fun to have some niche products that other farmers don't have. We find it draws people to the booth when they might not otherwise stop to see us. But, really people love the basics so we hope all of our veggies start coming on here soon. This weather is not great plant growing weather! But next week, we hope for turnips and radishes! We'll see.
We finally purchased a cat yesterday. A very sleek looking orange tabby named Spunkie. We put him in Josh's shop for the evening and of course, he escaped, which really, really bummed us out, but this morning he had come into the shop and eaten his food and somehow, snuck into the greenhouse because we saw his little paws all over the tomato flats. So, we hope he is still around and catching mice. Hopefully, if we keep feeding him, he'll make his home in our barn and become less skittish in the coming weeks. He is very pretty and I think he is going to be a great mouser. Purchasing a cat was the final solution to an ongoing battle with mice in the greenhouse. We have lost many flats of plants to the little mice that have just loved munching on our tender plants, especially radicchio, endive and escarole. Who knew mice liked bitters? Luckily, we have started enough plants and flats that we can deal with some of the losses, but it definitely breaks our hearts when we go in the morning to water and the plants have been munched on. Hopefully, Spunkie is going to save the day!
Our three ducks, all named Lily, are very big now and still in our basement. I'm not very happy about this. But, we are building a duck house for them this week so they can get outside. They are going to go behind the barn where the veggie packout is so we can throw loose lettuce and other scraps their way. My vision is for them to free range around the barn and land, but Josh isn't so sure.
So, that's pretty much the update. We are really eager to get the fencing done, so we can just farm — plant, weed, seed, harvest, irrgiate etc., etc. We have learned that big projects must be finished by beginning of March, so the focus can just be on farming and not building. Alas, this career choice, if you could call it that, is a continual learning process. And it is a very dynamic job, that's for sure. Life is never boring on a farm.

Shu Lin Kou Air Station (Updated)Posted on May 21st, 2010 54 comments
For several years, I have been trying pinpoint the location of former Shu Lin Kou Air Station, a military installation responsible for gathering sensitive intelligence from the 1950s into 1970s. But the landscape of Linkou has changed so much in last decades that almost no leftovers of the installation can be found on Google Earth. Fortunately, with CORONA satellite imagery available, I can finally locate this secretive site by comparing the landmarks and roads that still remains nowadays.

Marriott Rewards Points to Expire After Two Years
Marriott Rewards has announced that Marriott Rewards points will expire after 24 months of inactivity. Although the terms and conditions have had an expiration date for years, the policy will now be enforced. Lifetime Status members are not affected by this change.
I like that the page clarifies what activities count towards maintaining an active status. Unfortunately, gifting or transferring points does not extend the expiration date of your points. This means you cannot transfer Ultimate Rewards points to extend the life of your Marriott Rewards points. I think the easiest way to extend your Marriott Rewards without travel (if you do not have a Marriott credit card) is to make a small purchase from the ShopMyWayMall which is Marriott's online shopping mall.
Qantas Added as New Citi Transfer Partner
Qantas was recently added as a transfer partner for Citi ThankYou points. Qantas would not be my pick for using Citi ThankYou points because it has distance based award chart and requires a lot of points for awards but it may be a good option for someone. My favorite Citi ThankYou partner is Singapore Airlines.
New Option to Book Cruises Using United MileagePlus Miles
United announced the launch of a new cruise redemption program. These MileagePlus Cruise Awards allow you to use your United MileagePlus miles to book awards on more than two dozen cruise lines. I briefly looked at the United Cruises website and it does not look like using United miles to book cruises provides the best value for United miles. Still it is nice to have more options and for someone that loves cruises and has a lot of United miles, this might be a good choice.

Landslide Hazards
Post-Fire Debris Flows
Early Warning System
Once the smoke clears from a wildfire, the danger is not over!! Other hazards, such as flash floods and debris flows, now become the focus. Areas recently burned by wildfires are particularly susceptible to flash floods and debris flows during rainstorms.
Emergency Assessment of Post-Fire Debris-Flow Hazards
Estimates of the probability and volume of debris flows that may be produced by a storm in a recently burned area, using a model with characteristics related to basin shape, burn severity, soil properties, and rainfall.
Wildfire can significantly alter the hydrologic response of a watershed to the extent that even modest rainstorms can produce dangerous flash floods and debris flows....

Windows 10 Basics
This Windows 10 Basics course covers essential Windows 10 features for every user. Whether you are a beginner or expert with the Windows 10 operating system you can benefit from learning a bit more about what Windows 10 is capable of. This series will cover everything ranging from basic start menu setup to tips and tricks with the Windows 10 workflow.
App Management
The Windows 10 App store has actually come a long way since it's conception. Is it as good as the Apple App store? Of course not. How about the Google Play App store? Not even close. Ok, so it's not the best, but it's built into your operating system so you might as well take advantage of it when you can.
Very few people know that they can customize their Windows 10 lock screen. The lock screen is the screen you are greeted with when you restart your computer or come back to your computer after it has gone into standby.
The Windows 10 approach to apps gave us a smaller version of the Tile App screen right within our start menu. It also gave us access to all those nifty Windows apps from the app store. If you're like me, you like notifications, and many apps such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter will give you those notifications right on your Windows 10 desktop.
Windows 10 comes jam packed with many Microsoft Store applications that you may (or may not) want to have. If you don't want an application then it is typically a good idea to uninstall them... but how is this done?
One of the more annoying features of the Windows 10 operating system is the requirement to input an e-mail address or phone number when creating a user account.
If you're like me, you didn't connect your initial user profile on Windows 10 to a Microsoft account. Unfortunatey many of the features of the Windows 10 operating system are actually tied to this account.
Cortana is a voice command system built into the Windows 10 operating system. For many of us, we have no interest in actually using Cortana voice search.
The Windows 10 environment comes with a standard background for your lock screen. For those of you who do not know, the lock screen is the screen that appears when you either first login to your computer or optionally logout.
This video will show you how to change your Windows 10 desktop wallpaper. If you don't have one, don't worry, some are included by default and I also show you how to download one from Google.
Whether you love or hate them the Windows 10 start menu tile shortcuts are here to stay. These shortcuts can be rearranged, resized and categorized to your liking.
Pinning (and Unpinning) items to the taskbar is an essential skill every Windows 10 user will need to know. This is extremely easy to do and allows you to quickly access any program right from the taskbar rather than go hunting for it.
Tablet mode is a feature built into all Windows 10 operating systems. This mode essentially gives you the full screen touch interface for using your operating system. For some people who have a touch screen monitor, it may make sense to run in Tablet mode for day to day use.
Multi-tasking is one of the great features every operating system gives us. Windows 10 is rich with a new multi-tasking environment that lets you manage not only all of your running applications, but switch between running applications on different virtual desktops.
We all love fast internet and internet browsing, it's true. But let's face it, not all browsers are created equal. This video is going to show how you can quickly download a fast, free browser alternative to the native Microsoft Edge browser in Windows 10
Every computer connected to a network is given a unique identifier for the network it is on. For most people, this comes in the form of an IPv4 or an IPv6 network address. This address is extremely important when it comes to troubleshooting network issues.
Resetting a network IP address in windows is extremely easy. In fact, this particular tip isn't restricted to the Windows 10 operating system, it can be done on all Windows operating systems dating back to Windows NT.
The Windows network socket layer has been around since Windows began utilizing networking. This socket layer can sometimes become corrupted by bad network drivers, viruses, malware or even a Windows Update.
Network troubleshooting can be extremely frustrating to even the most veteran computer users. One great thing about Windows 10 is that it retains a copy of the network card driver even if you remove the network card.
Useful Tools
In this video you will learn how to use the Windows 10 System File Checker. This tool is extremely useful if some part of your Windows 10 operating system accidentally becomes corrupted.
Windows 10 has loads of features many people don't even know exist. This video will cover the Windows 10 snipping tool. This neat little tool is built into your Windows 10 operating system and will allow you to capture any image that is on your screen
Windows updates, they're notorious, and obnoxious... but necessary. It's extremely important to always make sure your computer has the latest Windows Updates installed. If you don't have them installed it will likely put your computer's security (as well as your own information) at risk.

The Venice Community Housing Corporation graduated 32 young adults from its vocational training program, Venice YouthBuild, during a ceremony March 26th.
Twenty youths aged 16 to 24 received their high school diplomas at the ceremony, three received certificates for completing all of the required high school credits, and seven youths have completed the YouthBuild program but have additional coursework to complete in order to gain a diploma.
The youth development program sponsored by Venice Community Housing Corporation provides job training in construction and "green" industry skills, as well as academic opportunities to at-risk youths in the community. More than 250 youths have received the training over the past eight years.
Venice YouthBuild partners with the John Muir Charter School, which provides the academic components of the program on site at the housing corporation.
In addition to construction and "green" job training, YouthBuild offers education, leadership activities and case management for
at-risk youth, according to the corporation. As part of the program's construction job training, the youth assisted in constructing 30 new units of affordable housing through a partnership with Pacific Empire Builders and rehabilitated 12 units of Venice Community Housing Corporation's affordable housing.
Through the "green" job training, the youth assisted in
installing solar panels on one of the corporation's affordable housing buildings and sustainable landscaping at two of the agency's affordable housing buildings, a corporation spokesperson said.
For more than 22 years, the Venice Community Housing Corporation has been developing neighborhood-based solutions for low-income families and individuals.

Reuse an old plastic bottle and turn it into useful bathroom storage. This Plastic Bottle Bathroom Storage project is
perfect for holding makeup, toothbrushes, or cotton balls. It doesn't take up any space on the counter so it's great for
small spaces. You could also use this storage container to hold art supplies, sponges in the kitchen, or as a catch all for keys and phones when you walk through the door.
• Plastic container – I used a large coffee creamer bottle,but shampoo bottles work great too.
• X-Acto knife
• Safety plug – I'm talking about those plastic plugs that block outlets so kids don't stick their little fingers in them. Or, if you keep your hairdryer (or whatever) plugged in, you could just do that to hold up your container.
• (Optional) Mod Podge, fabric, decorative paper – whatever you would want to dress up your bottle.
1.Remove the label from the bottle. Using a pencil, create an outline on the bottle of where you need to cut. If the edges are rough, you can use some sand paper to smooth them out.
2.If desired, decorate the bottom with paper or fabric and Mod Podge.
3.Attach to safety plug and get to organizing!

The Fairfax Chocolate Lovers Festival is a dream-come-true for chocolate aficionados, and the 2017 extravaganza is this Saturday, Feb. 4, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, Feb. 5, from noon-4 p.m. Vendors will offer a wide variety of chocolate treats ranging from candy to cakes, ice cream, fudge, chocolate-covered strawberries and milkshakes.
This year's festival is the 25th annual; a complete schedule of events is at www.chocolatefestival.net. All venues are handicap-accessible, and the Chocolate Express will run Feb. 4, from 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m., and Feb. 5, from 11:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. providing free shuttle service between event locations.
New for 2017 is Liquid Chocolate, starting off the fun Friday night, Feb. 3, from 6-8 p.m., and returning Saturday, Feb. 4, from 3-7 p.m. Inside a heated tent on Old Town Square's upper parking lot, 3999 University Drive, will be chocolate libations galore. Adults may taste chocolate wines, chocolate beers and dessert wine pairings for $2 each, while children enjoy hot chocolate, chocolate milkshakes and chocolate soda for $1/tasting.
Then, starting off Saturday morning's activities will be the annual Kiwanis Club of Fairfax Pancake Breakfast. From 8 a.m.-1 p.m., attendees may feast on regular or chocolate-chip pancakes, sausage, coffee, juice and milk, at Fire Station 3, at 4081 University Drive. Cost is $8, adults; $4, children ages 4-10. Children 3 and under eat free with a paying adult (limit two children per adult). There'll also be a bake sale, and face-painting is $2/child.
But save room for later because the highlight of the festival, the Taste of Chocolate, is Saturday, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, from noon-4 p.m., in Old Town Hall, 3999 University Drive (corner of Main Street and University Drive).

But this year, it's in a new location at 10427 North St., in the former Pacers site at the corner of North and University. Admission is $1/adult; children under 18 are free. A designated stroller-parking area is outside the building. Each entry is judged in various categories, and visitors may use their admission ticket to vote for the People's Choice Award winner. They may also participate in the silent action of challenge entries, plus items from local businesses.
In addition, cake walks will go on throughout the weekend in Old Town Square. They're among a whole slew of activities planned for children, including puppet shows, cupcake-decorating, music, magic, juggling and storytelling. (See the online schedule for the complete list, plus times and places).

Funding announced to help NEF pioneer new whole-house energy assessment tool
Author: Date: 18/02/2015
Accessing trusted and tailored advice on the full range of energy improving refurbishment options available can be difficult for householders. In partnership with Carbon Co-op, URBED and OpenEnergyMonitor we are developing 'My Home Energy Planner', a tool to provide householders with accurate, comprehensive and usable information on the current and potential energy performance of their homes.
Carbon Co-op, a social enterprise based in Manchester specialising in energy-efficient retrofit, has delivered over sixty whole-house retrofit assessments to date, working with architectural partners URBED. However, with demand exceeding supply, funding was secured from Innovate UK to create an open source, online professional tool which will reduce the time it takes to deliver assessment reports, enabling more assessors and providers to deliver the service and providing householders with more control over the data generated. All this should mean that the prices of assessments can be reduced and more assessments can be delivered both in Manchester and by other community energy providers around the country – good news for everyone!
Today, further funding has been awarded through the Ordnance Survey's GeoVation Challenge to extend the project to provide a free consumer-focused tool: an open and simplified version which is free and accessible to the wider public.
By simply entering your address, this free version will use Ordnance Survey and Land Registry data to pre-populate your floor area and exposed surface area, removing the need for a tape measure from the initial assessment process. In recognising that not every householder has the time or skills to undertake a full assessment of their home, the free version of the tool will offer a quick and easy means of generating a report with 80% of the accuracy of the paid-for pro version, significantly reducing the 400+ data points required for a typical whole house assessment. The output will be a tailored, whole house action plan for the installation of multiple, complementary and costed improvements, providing people with options and choices they can adapt to their particular needs, informing investments and encouraging long-term thinking.
At the National Energy Foundation, we are supporting the development of the tool in a number of ways. Initially, we are providing the project team with insights into how householders typically become engaged in the retrofit process and how and when retrofit measures are commonly implemented. This will then feed into the detailed development of the tool, its features, functionality and outputs. Finally, we will be running a field trial and survey to gain feedback on a beta version of the professional tool, as well as user testing the free tool in the Greater Manchester pilot area. After piloting and developing the tool in Greater Manchester, our excellent national retrofit networks, such as SuperHomes and newly-acquired YouGen, will be utilised to roll the tool out nationally and to assist in scaling up the project, spreading the reach and benefits of this innovative approach to assessments.
The tools being developed are intended to be entirely open source with many people able to contribute to the tool and ultimately benefit from it. Over the 12-month development period new versions will be released and tested regularly.
How you can get involved:
- Request an assessment. If you're in Greater Manchester, you can support the development of the tool by requesting a whole house assessment. You'll receive an assessment as normal, but this will allow the team to test the tool in parallel using 'real world' data from your home. This may take a little longer than usual, so whole house assessments are offered at a reduced cost. Email Carbon Co-op to express an interest.
- Attend one of Carbon Co-op's monthly Eco-home Lab events. As part of its ongoing energy monitor hack labs, Carbon Co-op will be testing and developing the new tool. Join the group to attend.
- Link up via GitHub. For those with a programming and technical interest, the code and full documentation is available here.
- Become a supporting organisation: Carbon Co-op is interested in working with community energy organisations that might like to offer whole house assessments in their area.If you're interested, please get in touch.

They are lightweight and durable so they can withstand the impact from roost and other track debris.
Fly Racing has equipped the 2018 Title glove with a unique silicone grip on the palm and finger tips so even when its wet outside you will be able to hold onto the bars and use your levers without slippage. One of the things Fly did to make Fly Racing Title Glove withstand the cold temperatures is equip it with a 70g Thinsulate insulated material on the backhand. Give these gloves a gander for yourself and find out their true potential.

It's been a fantastic summer around here, but I'm looking forward to settling back into routine as the new school year begins. I think a big part of easing into a routine is having a solid breakfast plan. Let's talk about adding some easy breakfast ideas to your game plan today!
Oliver and I are not in a stage of life right now that includes hectic mornings. We typically have time for me to actually cook a hot breakfast each morning, whether that's stovetop oatmeal or scrambled eggs or avocado toast. And tea. Always tea.
But some mornings we love the convenience of breakfasts we don't need to put much thought into. We achieve that in a couple different ways:
- Make-ahead breakfasts: Meal prepping is big these days. As our schedules fill up, we have to find creative ways to make better use of our time. A great way to do that is to make a "batch" of breakfasts you can eat throughout the week.
- Quick breakfasts: In our case, this is mostly smoothies, though I'd typically consider scrambled eggs or fried eggs to fit into this category as well. We find that things like cereal and granola bars just don't have as much staying power as we'd like. If I have a bowl of cereal for breakfast at 7 a.m., I'm typically reaching for a snack by 9:00. A smoothie (especially if I have it with a hard boiled egg or some other form of protein) tends to keep me full quite a bit longer.
Ready for some easy breakfast ideas? Here we go!
Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Muffins
I used to make something along these lines all the time in college so I could grab one or two in the morning before heading to class. It only takes about ten minutes to get the ingredients ready to pop in the oven, and the muffins will stay tasty for a few days. Make a double batch if you're feeding a lot of hungry bellies!
These are similar to the banana muffins, but you'll get just a little bit of veggie power added into the mix! I've always loved zucchini bread, and these muffins are a great little spin off of that idea.
Muffaletta Breakfast Casserole
If savory breakfasts are more your style, this breakfast casserole is just for you. It's based on the classic New Orleans muffaletta sandwich, and it's another great option for baking ahead of time and eating throughout the week. If you really want to focus on the grab & go quality, try baking this in a muffin tin so you won't even have to get out a knife in the morning. Note: You might want to reduce the cooking time by a bit if you do it this way.
For an option you can throw together in the morning rather than prepare ahead of time, smoothies are great! This smoothie is actually the very first recipe I ever posted on the blog, so check out that post even if only for a walk down memory lane. 🙂
And here's one more smoothie because the options are just endless. This one is extra fun because it packs in a little caffeine with the matcha! If you're looking for an extra energy boost from your smoothie, consider trying it.
