Gotrax GXL V2 Commuting Electric Scooter Review (Updated)
Gotrax GXL V2 Electric Scooter : QUICK OVERVIEW
Review of: Gotrax GXL V2 Electric Scooter
What We Like
What We Don't Like
Do you wish to make your life more adventurous? Would you want to make your mundane chores, as basic as the ride to the grocery store, more exciting? Do you crave for some thrill and fun in your otherwise busy life?
If your answer is yes to any one of these questions, then you have come to the right place. The one thing that can easily satisfy your hunger for adventures is an electric scooter.
Electric scooters not only provide a more cost-effective means of transportation, but they are eco-friendly as well. This is why we wrote this Gotrax GXL V2 Review for you. One of the best electric scooters available on the market.
Gotrax GXL V2 Review
Gotrax is a U.S.-based company with its headquarters located in Dallas, Texas. The company started with the manufacturing of hoverboards, and then quickly expanded by introducing its electrical scooter series. One of their proud creations is the GXL V2 electric scooter.
Gotrax GXL V2 Features
The Gotrax GXL V2 electric scooter is a recent addition to the Gotrax family, offering amazing features that come at a reasonable price. Do you think this might be the scooter you're looking for? Let's find out by looking at its features.
Shock-Absorbing Tires
The shock-absorbing tires of this Gotrax GXL V2 scooter offer a safe and smooth ride. These tires are eight inches wide, making it easier to balance the scooter.
Furthermore, they also prevent the scooter from slipping, especially in wet conditions. This is thanks to their firm grip and minor wear and tear.
Double Braking System
Whether you are riding on a bumpy road or a steep slope, the dual braking system of this electric scooter guarantees a safe ride. It consists of a disc braking system that has a high stopping power.
Additionally, it also features a regenerative anti-lock braking system, which prevents the degradation of tires. These brakes are present both at the front and the rear end for greater efficiency.
Gotrax GXL V2 Powerful Battery
The Gotrax GXL V2 electric scooter is driven by a powerful battery and runs on a 250-watt motor. This impressive battery provides a reliable source of energy.
Apart from this, it makes the scooter eco-friendly by using electricity as the source of power, preventing air pollution. It is not only good for the environment but also for your health.
Fast Recharge
If you do not like waiting for extended periods to recharge your electric scooter, then the Gotrax GXL V2 is what you need. With its fast charging capability, this electrical scooter can charge up fully in only four hours.
The display screen on the electric scooter shows the battery feature with four bars. This helps to keep you notified when there is a need to recharge your scooter.
Weighing around 31 pounds, the Gotrax GXL V2 electric scooter is lightweight and easy to carry around.
Additionally, it also has a lever-activated folding frame that allows you to fold the scooter, making it not only easier to transport but also to store.
- Version 2 - Handbrake, Cruise Control, Reinforced Frame and Lock Mechanism
- 8. 5" PNEUMATIC TIRES - Making the GXL the ultimate commuting scooter for overcoming treacherous city streets
- 250 WATT MOTOR - Our most powerful scooter yet, the GXL has a top speed of 15. 5MPH and holds a maximum of 220 lbs.
- 36V BATTERY - The GXL travels up to 9-12 miles and recharges in about 4 Hours. Height from Handlebars to Deck-38 inch

Two-Speed Setting
Let's continue our Gotrax GXL V2 review with the electric scooter speed. The two-speed setting feature enables you to set the maximum speed according to your needs.
If high speed frightens you, then you can configure your scooter to the first gear, which allows you to ride at 10 mph. The second gear lets you move at a fast maximum speed of 15.5 mph.
What this means is that whether you are looking for a comfortable ride or an adventurous one, the two-speed setting fulfills your needs.
High Carrying Capacity
Even though it is lightweight, the GXL V2 scooter has a high carrying capacity. The maximum load it can carry is around 220 pounds. Due to this, the electric scooter is inclusive to people of different weights and sizes.
Hence, if your weight has restricted you from riding a bike in the past, the Gotrax GXL V2 scooter can provide you with the chance to have fun without holding back.
Summary of the Features of Gotrax GXL V2 Electric Scooter
In this fast-paced world where efficiency and convenience are basic necessities, the Gotrax GXL V2 scooter provides you with both. It is not only a more economically feasible source of commuting but also an eco-friendly one.
Offering unique features, like its dual braking system and high loading capacity, the GXL scooter serves the needs of a wide and diverse range of people. Therefore, you should consider buying the Gotrax GXL V2 electric scooter to make your basic chores fun and thrilling.

Comparison with a Similar Electric Scooter
Since the world is moving towards a more energy-efficient lifestyle, the demand for electric scooters has greatly increased. Nowadays, there are a lot of different brands manufacturing and selling electric scooters with unique features.
In order to make it easier for you to decide whether the Gotrax GLX V2 electric scooter suits your needs, we have compared it with a popular choice—the Jetson Quest Scooter.
As we already saw in our Gotrax GXL V2 review this electric scooter offers a maximum speed of around 15.5 mph. Compared to this, the Jetson Quest electric scooter can go up to a maximum speed of 15 mph only, and that, too, in limited conditions. Thus, when it comes to speed, the GLX V2 is faster.
Secondly, both electric scooters are easily portable due to their light weight. However, the Gotrax GXL V2 scooter weighs around 27 pounds whereas Jetson Quest weighs approximately 28.4 pounds. So, considering their weight, the GXL V2 has the upper hand, making it more portable.
Thirdly, although Jetson Quest promises a range of 18 miles, it does not quite meet it. The range covered by this electric scooter varies significantly with the load it carries. For a load of up to 220 pounds, it can only cover a distance as short as 10-12 miles.
On the other hand, the Gotrax GXL V2 promises a range of about 12 miles and the distance it covers does not depend on its carrying capacity.
Verdict on Gotrax GXL V2 Commuting Electric Scooter Review
This is the end of our Gotrax GXL V2 review. All in all, when it comes to commuting, an electric scooter is a wise option due to its many perks. Not only is it good for the environment, but it is also very beneficial for us. It provides a fun and thrilling adventure ride that is both practical and wallet-friendly.
When it comes to electric scooters, the Gotrax GXL V2 electric scooter is definitely among the top picks. With its unique features, it provides a smooth and comfortable ride.
The best things about this scooter, however, are its precautionary and safety features, which include shock-absorbing tires and a dual braking system. Combined, these features promise fun, safety, and ease of use.

It may have been wet & cold but it didn't stop a good turnout from putting in an appearance this morning. The dreary weather didn't put Dawn off of coming along as she is over from LA at the moment [Good to see she brought the weather with her! - Ed]
Dawn arrived with Mr X, who got out the cab & once he had his bag stowed away in Porky Pie's boot, he ran up to Ewok & kissed her on the cheek & declared "A belated 'kiss a ginger day' for Thursday! ARP kisses a ginger nearly every day! "It's not ginger!" was her reply [The lady doth protest too much, methinks – Ed]
The Pack sheltered in the courtyard entrance until Ewok did the introductions, then Porky Pie stepped forward to let Pack know what they could expect out there. Sparky kept questioning the Hare whether there were horses on the Trail, he seemed to be desperate to get his horn to his lips & was happy when he heard that there wasn't any equines along the Trail!
Porky Pie added that the Trail was almost getting washed out as he was setting it earlier on in the morning rain. Then after a bit about Short Cuts & a sweet stop, the Pack were ushered out on to Sun Street & southward to the T-junction where it joins Tilehouse Street.
The initial pace of the Pack was nothing to write home about, which suited the survivors of the previous days Full Moon, & for Mr X this was his third a Trail as the first Friday 13th of 2017 came before the Full Moon, of which a few of the Pack enquired how both Trails went? The answer being "Very well!"
The First CHK was found & Fliptop wasted little time in picking up the Trail as it crossed the River Hiz & headed out toward the small roundabout in front of the Half Moon, a fine establishment! The Pack were now led off of the Queens Street junction & up to the southeast to a CHK on the path along the roadside that heads to the Three Moorhens.
There nearly all the FRBs were suckered on to running the false Trail up the east bound footpath alleyway rising up Stand Hill. Back up along by the Red Brick wall that protects the back of Hitchin Priory Gardens, the RA noticed ARP was out on her own on this west side of the road, as she trotted along toward the new, hi-tech solar-lowered dot-matrix speeding sign, the RA spotted it had a green smiley face & a speed of 27mph, which isn't bad!
The Hash began the slow steady climb up the hill, some were still on the east side of the road & then found themselves having to cross over at bend that had a very limited line of sight for oncoming traffic. The Keenies were caught in the middle of the road for a short while as the traffic coming down the hill halted their safe passage to the Westside.
Mr X made chicken 'clucking' noises as he dodged the passing cars & get on to the path, a south bound trot leads up behind the wooded embankment to rise above the dead-end Priory End, this route led up to a CHK by the footpath off down behind the Priory Gardens where they almost backs on to the A602 in the valley below, but this proved to be a Falsie for the likes of Alfa Male, Lemming, Mother, Max Factor, Sparky & Tent Packer.
The others continued on along the footpath to where it takes to the arching footbridge over the A602, though they stepped to one side when some proper runners came through, Mr X & Fliptop agreed that the on-coming runners didn't look to be very happy, especially compared to the Hash with smiles on their faces!
Once over the high footbridge a CHK was found on the second part of the wooded strip of pines, the favoured route was to take to the path down the southern side of the A602, once by the pooches out for a walk & out of the wood the Dust was found.
There was a nice long drop down in to the valley at the bottom of Hitchin Hill, overlooking the manor of Charlton which is mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to Ilbert of Hitchin. It later came into the possession of the Knights Templars, then when their order were dissolved by the Knights Hospitallers.
Another CHK in the floor of the vale of farm land had the Keenies heading up to the southwest, TBT OBE & Paxo took the Short Cut which the Hare had marked to the west where the other Keenies had come back from.
The rise up the hillside gave Wanktlers, Mr X, Tent Packer, My Lil', Alfa Male, Max Factor, Sparky & Ewok a good view from the top to see No Eye Deer & Dawn also making their way to the top of the ridge, before the Trail came out through the wide gap in the hedgerow & turned right onto Brick Kiln Lane. Now the Dust led down the leaf mulch covered single track, narrow rustic lane as it drops below the level of the fields.
Passing the steps to a Footpath in the fields to the south there was no distraction as the Dust took the Hash on by the small adjoin loop of another lane by the small whitewashed thatched cottages, then it moved on by the Piggery, with some lager happy rare breed porkers like the sociable Duroc & Mangalica breeds living there & a building named 'The Palace'.
A bit of care was need at the ford in the River Hiz as parts were looking like the river had recently flowed over the top of the raised foot crossing section, then it was out from under the willow tree's canopy & on by the Windmill Pub, which is up for Sale (Free of Tie) after an attempt to turn this great old boozer into a residential House was rejected.
The Keenies knew that they were on a loop & so once on to Charlton Road they knew there was only one way to go & that was northward back toward southern outskirts of Hitchin. Over to the west where the Ark Wildlife Bird Food & Accessories way back from the road by Charlton House, birthplace in 1813 & early home to Henry Bessemer who amongst over 100 of his invention made his name creating the 'Bessemer process' for producing steel.
The FRBs would pick up the TBT OBE & Paxo just before the T-Junction where the Charlton Road turns 60° from north to get on to what is part of the road back to the A602. The Dust would go as far as the main road, for it crossed over to the north side of the lane & took to the backstreets of Hawthorn Close & then Meadow Way, where the tough twigs of a tree that was a hazard to eyes had to dodged, it's a surprise the council haven't said it needs cutting back.
Emerging out on to the three way Y shaped junction which saw the Pack head over to the Pirton Road, ignoring the Offley Road & Upper Tilehouse Street. The Pack now became split in to two on either side of the rise. Ahead lay a long climb up the steep residential hill, the RA did noticed that Sloppy Seconds was on the left side of the road & as he approached another Dot-matrix Speed Sign at the apex of the hill, it flashed up with a Red 42 & a Red Sad Face, which was not as good as ARP did earlier!
At the top of the hill & the Trail would turn from the west & head northward along the uncapped Byway that starts on Crow Furlong to end at a CHK at the Crossroads with Brays Lane & Bridleway 4 that leads northwestward. The Trail was discovered on Bridleway 4 & it was along here as the uncapped stony by-way turns northward that ARP & Porky Pie told of a "Humongous Dog" of Hans Christian Anderson proportions that rushes at people as they pass by his home near Ducklands Cottages, with it giving passers-by a shock & preventing some of a nervous disposition walking this path.
Fortunately for the Hash, 'Tiny' the poodle wasn't out & off the lead in the rain, & so everyone safely passed by without issue to find an arrow directing them on to the northbound farm track that eventually joins Oughtonhead Lane path, Alfa Male, Max Factor, Lemming, Mr X, My Lil', Tent Packer & Ewok all began to get away from those at the rear
Before getting even half way to Oughtonhead Lane there would be a respite at the only Held CHK on the Trail, due to the wind the Pack moved through the wide gap in the hedgerow & took shelter from the chilly wind to enjoy the sweet stop.
Now, there were Jelly Babies or Sport Gums (which were rather similar to Wine Gums) on offer & Ewok said that she would have some Sport's Gums as it would make her run further! The RA was eager to see if this would turn out to be true & discuss this later in the Circle. It was noticed that TBT OBE, Paxo, No Eye Deer & Dawn were no longer in sight.
Another Short Cut back eastward over the farm fields was on offered from the Held CHK on a footpath leading up through the centre of the farm field & this was marked by the Hare, meanwhile the FRBs were allowed to continue along the path over to Oughtonhead lane in the north, another old uncapped by-way which leads to the Oughtonhead Spring in the west, to the very head of the tributary that eventually flows northeastward to join the River Hiz.
A turn to the east had Lemming, Mr X, My Lil', Mother, Ewok, Max Factor, Alfa Male, Sparky, Fliptop, Tent Packer & Wanktlers up & away from the uncapped section on to the tarmac at the crest of the hill where Oughtonhead Lane becomes the residential area on the western edge of Hitchin. As Mr X looked back through the last bit of hedgerow he could see two figures making their way by the Fairy-Tale monster Pooch, he wondered if it was No Eye Deer & Dawn?
Dust took the FRBs away from the 1960's & 70's style homes to run down the section that runs back though the older uncapped lanes of more established older residences. Again the road became uncapped, a southward turn by the Caravan Site to get on to the 'Private' Lucas Lane which would bring the Keenies back on to behind the SCBs of Paxo & TBT OBE.
A change to an eastern trot down Gaping Lane led all the way down to the traffic-light Junction with Old Park Road. Arrows direct the way over to Butts Close green space [Whoa there Pebbledash! – Ed] to run up to Fishponds Road, following this eastward main road until it reached the roundabout junction with Bancroft Road, there was no hanging around here as the Trail crossed over to lead through Bancroft Gardens.
On the way back down to the centre of Hitchin Ewok asked Mr X about the Friday 13th Trail, saying that herself & Milf wanted to go along but couldn't make it. Mr X told her of a couple of the 'orrid stops & what happened to the victims, also how this was all recreated by elected members of the Pack.
A pleasant trot for the Keenies as they were led on through the tennis courts & play area of the park's northern end on a Trail that weaved its way around through the eastern area where the River Hiz runs, the 'z' in its name was an old abbreviated character for a 'tch' sound, as in the name of the town. It should be pronounced 'River Hitch'! Like 'Ye' is an old abbreviation for 'The'.
The Trail would follow this after a slight diversion around to the Market Place behind St Mary's Church, which was founded by Offa, king of Mercia 757-796. Through the public car park & then On Inn via the coaching entrance to the Sun, the neighbouring Pub to the Angel Vaults, this was where Ketchup had gone into the bar there by mistake, as from the Car Park it doesn't look as if the two opposing sides are the same Pub.
By the time the RA had changed, Ketchup & Prince Garmin arrived after making it around following a late arrival at the venue. Where TBT OBE made Mr X & Paxo jump when they approached him about Prince Garmin's 100th Run Tankard, as they did so TBT OBE remove a tankard from his bag & proceeded to top it up with Ale! With startled looks on their faces both exclaimed that they hoped it wasn't for Prince Garmin? TBT OBE then showed them that it was his own Herts Tankard, much to their relief.
Back at the Pub, where Mother & Lemming, like our very own Gru
(Despicable me!) he produced a Tupperware box that contained an evil looking
multi-coloured blob like Dr Who alien, which turned out to be vodka
enthused jellies, with the jelly babies not standing up as well the wine gums!
By the time it came around to the final Circle, there were plenty eating, plus it was raining a bit heavier compared to the light drizzle that briefly plagued the Trail.
The Hare was rewarded for a food Trail that everyone was around in an hour & ten!
Lemming & Mother out for this failed, but not a bad first effort for Vodka jellies, we have something to look forward to in the future. Tent Packer was awarded his hit for his comments about "Mrs Mallet can't speak, as she coughs every time she opens her mouth! It's bliss!" [Poor Mrs M! Get Well Soon! – Ed]
Prince Garmin was out for completing 100 Herts Runs, he was joined by ARP who clocked up 150, well done to them! Ewok was called out for remarking about the Sports sweets should have given her an extra boost for running, but perhaps they didn't?TBT was up for his lost property from the Christmas Weekend Bungalow, as removed the T-shirts he soon discovered to his disappointment that the Hashit had mysteriously made its way in with the others that Mr X had

Republicans have traditionally been considered to be the political party that's friendliest to business, and the platform adopted at the convention that nominated John McCain broadly calls for more energy investment. And it declares that alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal and hydropower, quote, "must enter the mainstream." But just how friendly is John McCain and the Republican Party to the development of new energy enterprises? Joining me now to shed light on what energy investors want from policymakers is Michael Hoffman. He manages investments in conventional and renewable energies for Riverstone Holdings LLC, a private equity firm with $15 billion under management. Michael Hoffman, welcome to Living on Earth. HOFFMAN: Thank you. CURWOOD: Now both Democrats and Republicans are doing a lot of talking this year about the importance of investing in renewable energies. Tell me, you run perhaps the biggest renewable energy fund in the world, just how big is this alternative renewable energy business right now and how big could it get in the future? HOFFMAN: The amount of spending in a year, in 2007 dollars, in the conventional energy business worldwide is about $800 billion, and its about 200 billion for renewable energy. The conventional energy business is only growing at, like three or four percent per annum, and the renewable energy business, interestingly enough, is growing in excess of 20-25%, depending upon what area you're talking about. And if it continues to grow with the 20-25% rate, it'll take a while for it to be as big as conventional energy, but it will eventually get there if the pace continues. CURWOOD: Now the Republican platform supports ending America's addiction to foreign oil through more oil drilling, more nuclear power plants and a longterm energy tax credit for renewable energy sources. How does the investment community view this platform? HOFFMAN: Well, I think in general positively. I mean, it's a little bit like motherhood and apple pie. Of course, everybody wants energy independence, but what the Republicans and Democrats have done is both spoken about the need for renewable fuels and renewable power. But the details of what each of the Democrats and Republicans are arguing for is not really in the party platforms and, quite frankly, changes on a pretty consistent basis. At one point, it looked as though the McCain campaign was embracing global warming concerns and, therefore, really focused on carbon cap and trade programs. It's not as clear at this point, and he picked a vice presidential candidate who doesn't even believe in global warming as a serious threat. So, it's not clear where the Republican platform is on some of these issues. CURWOOD: Now the language of the Republican platform on climate change says specifically, "We can and should address the risk of climate change based on sound science without succumbing to the no growth radicalism that treats climate questions as dogma." They are particularly silent though on the question of how they would do it internationally or even at home in terms of a cap and trade program or taxes. What's your reading of that? HOFFMAN: I think they're hedging their bets. You've got different wings of the party saying different things. You've got somebody like Governor Schwarzenegger who, in California, has taken a very aggressive stance towards trying to deal with climate change and has put in place, at the state of California level, a requirement that 33% of all power that the utilities are run on is from renewable sources. Others -- like the Governor of Alaska is obviously not so sure that's a problem. So I think they're trying to capture both ends of the spectrum in their working draft on the platform. CURWOOD: So, policy-wise, in your view, what's the best-case scenario for investors? What would your energy platform be? HOFFMAN: I guess our energy platform would be developing the transmission grid you need to deliver alternative energy whether it's wind or solar to the places where you need it. That's one of the biggest bottlenecks. On the fuel side, you need really specific mandates in place and incentives in place that people can rely on. And so I think there are some strategies that can be taken both on the fuel side and on the power side to maximize the success of renewables. You know, I think the investment community is looking for certainty. To the extent that there are real incentives in place that extend for a period of time that people can count on the development of new energy resources whether they are nuclear or renewable, that's what Wall Street wants: certainty. CURWOOD: And what about cap and trade? HOFFMAN: Cap and trade is a very interesting question. Nobody's building a wind farm or solar farm based on cap and trade, but they are debating whether or not to build a coal fired plant because it could be very costly. Cap and trade though will help elevate the competitive costs for nonrenewable energies, which make renewable energy more competitive. The trick about cap and trade is where do the credits go? The devil is in the details. What is the cap and trade legislation going to look like? And until you know that, it's kind of hard to see who the winners and losers are. CURWOOD: Michael Hoffman is the managing director of Riverstone Holdings LLC and coauthor of the new book Green: Your Place in the New Energy Revolution. Thanks Michael. HOFFMAN: Thank you.

However, recent studies pointed out that the present legislative bodies have come to play a more active role through ratification or the review of treaties in European and American countries. Harrington (2005) studied judicial reform in British dominions and criticized the past executive-dominant treaty-making process as a "democratic deficit" due to a fear that under this system the nation might be bound by international agreements for which a consensus had not been obtained. These studies indicated that people's participation in the treaty-making process has increased on a global basis, but neither of them provides sufficient descriptive evidence regarding why and how such procedures were established. The present paper therefore attempts to solve these questions by analyzing the legislative and political process of the treaty-making procedure reform in Thailand's 2007 constitution as a case study.Copyrights 日本貿易振興機構(ジェトロ)アジア経済研究所 / Institute of Developing Economies, Japan External Trade Organization (IDE-JETRO) http://www.ide.go.jpIDE Discussion Paper = IDE Discussion Paper3572012-07-01Institute of Developing Economies (IDE-JETRO) publisher329.4JEL:K00 - GeneralJEL:Z00 - GeneralタイThailandTreatiesInternational agreementsConstitutionsTreaty-makingParticipationapplication/pdfhttps://ir.ide.go.jp/?action=repository_action_common_download&item_id=37817&item_no=1&attribute_id=22&file_no=1IDP000357_0012017-04-10

Taylor Dures
Being at this school since Year 7 I've seen every year of captains since 2014. I've seen how differently each captain was and how some do it amazingly or some have an average run. I would like to see how I can do it, bring my own ideas to the table and do the job of the school captain the best I can. To be school captain would mean a lot to me because it is something I have wanted to do since being at this school and to be granted that opportunity, I would give everything to the job.
Faith Elliott
To be given the opportunity to run for school captain is amazing. If I were to be elected I would put my everything into making Hastings Secondary College Port Macquarie Campus the best it can be. I will show pride at community events and do my absolute best to support all teachers and students no matter what it is! I thank the school for giving me this opportunity.
Tahli Enfield
Hey, I'm Tahli Enfield, and if this doesn't give enough evidence, I am running for school captain for 2019. I aspire to be captain for a few reasons. 1. For my future career I would love to work for the UN in leading positions creating change. School captain is the perfect step for this. 2. I love writing and presenting speeches. 3. I could really do with some extra ATAR marks to be accepted into University. So help me out and give Tahli a vote. Cheers
Tina Nguyen
Since beginning school here in Year 7, I have taken much pride in this school and believe that I could take on the role of school captain. When taking on this role I would like to improve the school by doing things in favour of everyone. I will listen to what you believe could be fixed or improved to make it a place everyone wants to be. I'm willing to take on any challenges and believe I can take on the responsibilities of school captain. EMAIL: email@example.com WEBSITE: hastingssecondarycollege.schools.nsw.edu.au
Camilla Moen
Hi, I'm Camilla. I've been a proud member of this school since Year 7. I would love to be the captain of this great school, and I will try my best to make this school the best it can be. Being school captain would mean that I can be the voice for all the students. I think that being school captain would be a great and worthwhile opportunity that I hope I am able to undertake.
Skye Vaughan
I am a proud student at Hastings Secondary College Port Macquarie Campus. I would love the opportunity to represent the campus in the wider community. Hastings Secondary College has provided me with many opportunities to represent the school in multiple areas. I strive for success but value the importance of teamwork and honesty. I like to be the best I can at school, work and all my sports. I am a positive role model and would love the opportunity to be the school's voice as school captain.
Zac Terley
I have been at this school since Year 7, and I have watched it grow and prosper over time. However, I strongly believe there are many things that can be improved on in this school. For example, to give the school an improved look we can paint it in school colours, using money raised from school events such as mufti days. My bigger focus however at our school is to make sure all students feel open to opportunity and feel catered for. I think being easy to approach and confide in as a person is another thing that I would like students to feel comfortable doing with me, so I can personally hear opinions of students and look after and take into account their wellbeing if I become captain.
Ben Harris
To become Captain of Hastings Secondary College, Port Macquarie Campus, would be very meaningful to me. I am extremely proud of my school and have always strived to represent it to the best of my ability, whether that be sporting or academic. To be placed in a position where I would be presented with opportunities to do this more frequently would mean a great deal to me, and would also allow me to accomplish my goal; leaving my school as a better place, for staff and students alike, than when I arrived here.
Riley Pritchard
Last year on exchange in Belgium, I learnt more about myself in the first four months than I could ever have living at home in Australia with my family. I learnt so much about people and what I want to do and be in life, and I believe becoming a captain would teach me even more about leadership and life in general. It would also be a great opportunity to give back to the amazing school that has started me on such a great path.
Lewis Kranitis
After being a student at Hastings Secondary College Port Macquarie Campus I, Lewis Kranitis, have decided to run for School Captain. This is a position that I did not even know about until Year 8 let alone a position I would have thought I would be running for one day. I have participated in as many sporting and academic events as possible, truly becoming a student of our school. I believe my contribution to this school provides me with a greater understanding of the things that should and need to be changed. You may not care about this role, but this role will affect you and your peers in this school. So remember vote 1 Lewis Kranitis. Thanks. EMAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com WEBSITE: hastingssecondarycollege.schools.nsw.edu.au
Jake Stuckey
I'm proud of our school and everything we as a school community achieve. I'm a strong believer that everyone should have pride in being a student at Hastings Secondary College. I want to represent this school for what it is. Sure, I can't give everyone a free period or lower the canteen prices, but I can make our school a happy and even fun (believe it or not) place we can all enjoy.

Visitors in Sabah can now send their postcards to family and friends from anywhere in the world from a Tree House at Sabah Tea resort. (NSTP/Photo courtesy of Sabah Tea Resort)
RANAU: Visitors in Sabah can now send their postcards to family and friends anywhere in the world from a tree house!
The service, which had its soft launch yesterday, is available at Sabah Tea Resort here.
Its general manager Ismail Martin Kong Abdullah said the Tree House at the resort was opened to public on Feb 19 this year.
The new attraction in the Kundasang-Ranau tourism had since attracted more than 8,000 visitors and over 90,000 hits on social media.
"Here, they can buy a postcard from the gift shop or at Tree House ticket counter, write their greetings, place it into the mailbox, and it will be posted to any address for them.
"It is RM3 per card to any address in Malaysia, and RM5 per card to all international destinations," he told the New Straits Times.
Ismail added that the Tree House is 10 metres above the ground and can accommodate over 10 adults.
He said the structure, which is perfect for taking scenic photos and videos, is made up of an event platform, a mini canopy walk, and a tree condominium.
Besides the tree house, there are also several mailboxes located at unusual places in Sabah which only climbers or divers could go to.
Among them include Malaysia's first underwater mailbox placed on the front of an old sunken cargo ship off Mataking island in Semporna in March 2006; another one was installed in February 2015 at the Pendant Hut of Mount Kinabalu with the elevation of 3,289 metres above sea level; and at 40-metres deep, a seabed mailbox was launched off Layang-Layang island in August 2015.

Making Home Safe For Dementia Patients
Dementia is a heart wrenching sickness that takes a toll on millions of seniors, In fact, there are over 5 million people who suffer from age-related dementia in the United States alone. There is no known cure for dementia, so when your loved one becomes crippled by the effects of dementia, you may feel as if you are on a constant uphill battle to care for your patient for a loved one.
Table of Contents
Every case of dementia is a little different, but when caring for a senior with dementia, it doesn't hurt to do more, as opposed to doing less. Seniors with dementia may begin to feel uncomfortable in their own home as once familiar routines become irretrievable memories. Your job as a caretaker or loved one is to make them as comfortable as possible in their home while making the home a safe place.
"Baby-proofing" the house may seem like overkill, but it is important to do as much as possible, especially for those with more severe cases of dementia. Ideally, seniors living with dementia have someone else living with them to help the seniors get around.
The first step you should take to making the home safe for dementia patients is to meticulously assess the home. Assess the home for hazards like how you would for an infant and then some. Here are some important things to look out for as well as some important questions to ask when assessing the home.
Steps and Stairways
Take a look at all steps and/or stairways in the home and outside the home. The first question you need to ask when dementia-proofing the home is, how mobile is the dementia patient? If the answer is immobile, then consider moving all essentials downstairs. If necessary, convert the living room into a bedroom. Safety is the most important thing when it comes to making the home safe for dementia patients, so if you think the home is unsafe for the dementia patient, just avoid them entirely.
If the dementia patient is mobile then make sure that either side of the stairway is equipped with handrails. Handrails ensure that the dementia patient is supported when going up and down the stairs. If there are no handrails by the stairs, they can easily be bought and installed.
If the stairs are not too steep, consider the possibility of replacing the stairs with a ramp. Some dementia patients may find it easier to use a ramp instead of stairs, but ask them how comfortable they feel with the stairs before installing any ramp.
When assessing the bedroom, the most important thing to assess is the amount of clutter in the room. Are there any unnecessary pieces of furniture that can become a tripping hazard for the dementia patient? If so, move any useless furniture or hazards to storage.
As for the lighting in the bedroom, make sure the lighting is sufficient. If not, install new lights in the room. In addition, buy a couple night lights to plug into the outlets of the room. Many night lights come with timers on them, so they will only be on at night. That way, the dementia patient doesn't have to worry about forgetting to turn on or off the switch.
The bed is the star of the bedroom, but it can also be one of the biggest hazards. Beds that are high from the ground pose as falling hazards for seniors and dementia patients as it can require some energy to get in and out of bed. For those who struggle with mobility, consider getting the senior a step stool to help them get in and out of bed. Products such as the step2bed are perfect for those who struggle with mobility — or any senior, dementia patient or not — as these products make it significantly safer for an individual to get in and out of bed at night. Step stools reduce the risk of falls and provide necessary added support to the senior.
Floors and Other Surfaces
All homes have floors, and every floor is different. Some floors are particularly more slippery than others, so it is important to consider the floors when making the home safe for dementia patients. Walk around the dementia patient's home, once with socks, once barefoot, and once with shoes. In each trial, see how slippery the floor is — carefully try to slide around.
If you realize that the flooring in a certain area of the house is particularly slippery, consider coating it in an anti-slip adhesive. Anti Slip adhesives add a thin coating to slippery surfaces such as tile and help reduce the risk of falls.
Any rugs in the home pose a falling hazard. To mitigate this, purchase rug grippers. Rug grippers cling to the corners of any rug and help secure the rug to the floor. In addition, rug grippers keep rugs from bunching up.
Doors and Windows
When assessing the home in order to make it safe for dementia patients, look out for the doors and windows as they are often forgotten in amateur home evaluation. Make sure the windows and doors can be easily opened or closed. The mechanism for closing windows should be quick and easy. If applicable, make sure the screen windows are secured to the windows. Add screen windows to second stories in the home for added safety.
The locks on the door should be easy to operate and the process should be intuitive. The doors should have ample space to accommodate a wheelchair, even if the dementia patient is not using one at this time.
The kitchen is one of the most dangerous rooms for dementia patients. The stove and oven can be death risks if the dementia patient forgets to turn them off. The IGuardStove is a considerable investment, but will shut off the stove if the dementia patient forgets. Ideally, the dementia patient is not living alone, but if they are, any automatic stove shut off device is essential.
The kitchen should be arranged in a way that is safe and convenient for the dementia patient. Label the cabinets with what is in each respective cabinet so the dementia patient can identify where things are. Commonly used items or spices should go on lower shelves.
Dementia is an awful sickness that has taken the lives of many. By making modifications to a dementia patient's home, you are helping them live as normal of a life as possible. If you are struggling emotionally while taking care of a dementia patient, consider visiting local support groups or online forums. Many individuals are in the same heartbreaking position you are in, and you are not alone.

I liked this post.
I'm not sure that design will end up being as simple as this picture makes it look, no matter how well we understand it---it seems like factorization is one kind of activity in design, but it feels like overall "design" is being used as a kind of catch-all that is probably very complicated.
An important distinction for me is: does the artifact work because of the story (as in "design"), or does the artifact work because of the evaluation (as in search)?
This isn't so clean, since:
Despite those and more complexities, it feels to me like if there is a clean abstraction it's somewhere in that general space, about the different reasons why a thing can work.
Post-hoc stories are clearly *not* the "reason why things work" (at least at this level of explanation). But also if you do jointly search for a model+helpful story about it, the story still isn't the reason why the model works, and from a safety perspective it might be similarly bad.
Yeah, I've heard (through the grapevine) that Paul and Geoffrey Irving think debate and factored cognition are tightly connected
For reference, this is the topic of section 7 of AI Safety via Debate.
In the limit they seem equivalent: (i) it's easy for HCH(with X minutes) to discover the equilibrium of a debate game where the judge has X minutes, (ii) a human with X minutes can judge a debate about what would be done by HCH(with X minutes).
The ML training strategies also seem extremely similar, in the sense that the difference between them is smaller than design choices within each of them, though that's a more detailed discussion.
I'm a bit confused why you would make the debate length known to the debaters. This seems to allow them to make indefensible statements at the very end of a debate, secure in the knowledge that they can't be critiqued. One step before the end, they can make statements which can't be convincingly critiqued in one step. And so on.
The most salient reason for me ATM is the concern that debaters needn't structure their arguments as DAGs which ground out in human-verifiable premises, but rather, can make large circular arguments (too large for the debate structure to catch) or unbounded argument chains (or simply very very high depth argument trees, which contain a flaw at a point far too deep for debate to find).
If I assert "X because Y & Z" and the depth limit is 0, you aren't intended to say "Yup, checks out," unless Y and Z and the implication are self-evident to you. Low-depth debates are supposed to ground out with the judge's priors / low-confidence in things that aren't easy to establish directly (because if I'm only updating on "Y looks plausible in a very low-depth debate" then I'm going to say "I don't know but I suspect X" is a better answer than "definitely X"). That seems like a consequence of the norms in my original answer.
In this context, a circular argument just isn't very appealing. At the bottom you are going to be very uncertain, and all that uncertainty is going to propagate all the way up.
Instead, it seems like you'd want the debate to end randomly, according to a memoryless distribution. This way, the expected future debate length is the same at all times, meaning that any statement made at any point is facing the same expected demand of defensibility.
If you do it this way the debate really doesn't seem to work, as you point out.
I currently think all my concerns can be addressed if we abandon the link to factored cognition and defend a less ambitious thesis about debate.
For my part I mostly care about the ambitious thesis.
If the two players choose simultaneously, then it's hard to see how to discourage them from selecting the same answer. This seems likely at late stages due to convergence, and also likely at early stages due to the fact that both players actually use the same NN. This again seriously reduces the training signal.
If player 2 chooses an answer after player 1 (getting access to player 1's answer in order to select a different one), then assuming competent play, player 1's answer will almost always be the better one. This prior taints the judge's decision in a way which seems to seriously reduce the training signal and threaten the desired equilibrium.
I disagree with both of these as objections to the basic strategy, but don't think they are very important.
Sorry for not understanding how much context was missing here.
The right starting point for your question is this writeup which describes the state of debate experiments at OpenAI as of end-of-2019 including the rules we were using at that time. Those rules are a work in progress but I think they are good enough for the purpose of this discussion.
In those rules: If we are running a depth-T+1 debate about X and we encounter a disagreement about Y, then we start a depth-T debate about Y and judge exclusively based on that. We totally ignore the disagreement about X.
Our current rules---to hopefully be published sometime this quarter---handle recursion in a slightly more nuanced way. In the current rules, after debating Y we should return to the original debate. We allow the debaters to make a new set of arguments, and it may be that one debater now realizes they should concede, but it's important that a debater who had previously made an untenable claim about X will eventually pay a penalty for doing so (in addition to whatever payoff they receive in the debate about Y). I don't expect this paragraph to be clear and don't think it's worth getting into until we publish an update, but wanted to flag it.
Do the debaters know how long the debate is going to be?
To what extent are you trying to claim some relationship between the judge strategy you're describing and the honest one? EG, that it's eventually close to honest judging? (I'm asking whether this seems like an important question for the discussion vs one which should be set aside.)
If debate works, then at equilibrium the judge will always be favoring the better answer. If furthermore the judge believes that debate works, then this will also be their honest belief. So if judges believe in debate then it looks to me like the judging strategy must eventually approximate honest judging. But this is downstream of debate working, it doesn't play an important role in the argumetn that debate works or anything like that.
Providing context for readers: here is a post someone wrote a few years ago about issues (ii)+(iii) which I assume is the kind of thing Czynski has in mind. The most relevant thing I've written on issues (ii)+(iii) are Universality and consequentialism within HCH, and prior to that Security amplification and Reliability amplification.
I think not.
For the kinds of questions discussed in this post, which I think are easier than "Design Hessian-Free Optimization" but face basically the same problems, I think we are making reasonable progress. I'm overall happy with the progress but readily admit that it is much slower than I had hoped. I've certainly made updates (mostly about people, institutions, and getting things done, but naturally you should update differently).
Note that I don't think "Design Hessian-Free Optimization" is amongst the harder cases, and these physics problems are a further step easier than that. I think that sufficient progress on these physics tasks would satisfy the spirit of my remark 2y ago.
I appreciate the reminder at the 2y mark. You are welcome to check back in 1y later and if things don't look much better (at least on this kind of "easy" case), treat it as a further independent update.
To claim that you have removed optimization pressure to be unaligned
The goal is to remove the optimization pressure to be misaligned, and that's the reason you might hope for the system to be aligned. Where did I make the stronger claim you're attributing to me?
I'm happy to edit the offending text, I often write sloppily. But Rohin is summarizing the part of this post where I wrote "The argument for alignment isn't that "a system made of aligned neurons is aligned." Unalignment isn't a thing that magically happens; it's the result of specific optimization pressures in the system that create trouble. My goal is to (a) first construct weaker agents who aren't internally doing problematic optimization, (b) put them together in a way that improves capability without doing other problematic optimization, (c) iterate that process." So in this case it seems clear that I was stating a goal.
Even among normal humans there are principal-agent problems.
In the scenario of a human principal delegating to a human agent there is a huge amount of optimization pressure to be misaligned. All of the agents' evolutionary history and cognition. So I don't think the word "even" belongs here.
There is optimization pressure to be unaligned; of course there is!
I agree that there are many possible malign optimization pressures, e.g.: (i) the optimization done deliberately by those humans as part of being competitive, which they may not be able to align, (ii) "memetic" selection amongst patterns propagating through the humans, (iii) malign consequentialism that arises sometimes in the human policy (either randomly or in some situations). I've written about these and it should be obvious they are something I think a lot about, am struggling with, and believe there are plausible approaches to dealing with.
(I think it would be defensible for you to say something like "I don't believe that Paul's writings give any real reason for optimism on these points and the fact that he finds them reassuring seems to indicate wishful thinking," and if that's a fair description of your position then we can leave it at that.)
Do you mean that every debater could have defended each of their statements s in a debate which lasted an additional N steps after s was made? What happens if some statements are challenged? And what exactly does it mean to defend statements from a challenge?
Yes. N is the remaining length of the debate. As discussed in the paper, when one player thinks that the other is making an indefensible claim then we zoom in on the subclaim and use the remaining time to resolve it.
I get the feeling you're suggesting something similar to the high school debate rule (which I rejected but didn't analyze very much), where unrefuted statements are assumed to be established (unless patently false), refutations are assumed decisive unless they themselves are refuted, etc.
There is a time/depth limit. A discussion between two people can end up with one answer that is unchallenged, or two proposals that everyone agrees can't be resolved in the remaining time. If there are conflicting answers that debaters don't expect to be able to resolve in the remaining time, the strength of inference will depend on how much time is remaining, and will mean nothing if there is no remaining time.
At the end of training, isn't the idea that the first player is winning a lot, since the first player can choose the best answer?
I'm describing what you should infer about an issue that has come up where neither player wants to challenge the other's stance.
Are agents really incentivized to justify their assertions?
Under the norms I proposed in the grandparent, if one player justifies and the other doesn't (nor challenge the justification), the one who justifies will win. So it seems like they are incentivized to justify.
Are those justifications incentivized to be honest?
If they are dishonest then the other player has the opportunity to challenge them. So initially making a dishonest justification may be totally fine, but eventually the other player will learn to challenge and you will need to be honest in order to defend.
In the cases where the justifications aren't fully verifiable, does it really make sense for the humans to trust anything they say? In particular, given the likelihood that one of the agents is lying?
It's definitely an open question how much can be justified in a depth N debate.
I recognize that you're saying these are open questions, I'm just trying to highlight where I'm confused -- particularly as these questions are bound up with the question of what judge strategies should look like. It seems like a lot of pieces need to come together in just the right way, and I'm not currently seeing how judge strategies can simultaneously accomplish everything they need to.
It seems like the only ambiguity in the proposal in the grandparent is: "How much should you infer from the fact that a statement can be defended in a length T debate?" I agree that we need to answer this question to make the debate fully specified (of course we wanted to answer it anyway in order to use debate). My impression is that isn't what you are confused about and that there's a more basic communication problem.
In practice this doesn't seem to be an important part of the difficulty in getting debates to work, for the reasons I sketched above---debaters are free what justifications they give, so a good debater at depth T+1 will give statements that can be justified at depth T (in the sense that a conflicting opinion with a different upshot couldn't be defended at depth T), and the judge will basically ignore statements where conflicting positions can both be justified at depth T. It seems likely there is some way to revise the rules so that the judge instructions don't have to depend on "assume that answer can be defended at depth T" but it doesn't seem like a priority.
Your debate comes with some time limit T.
If T=0, use your best guess after looking at what the debaters said.
If T=N+1 and no debater challenges any of their opponent's statements, then give your best answer assuming that every debater could have defended each of their statements from a challenge in a length-N debate.
Of course this assumption won't be valid at the beginning of training. And even at the end of training we really only know something weaker like: "Neither debater thinks they would win by a significant expected margin in a length N debate."
What can you infer if you see answers A and B to a question and know that both of them are defensible (in expectation) in a depth-N debate? That's basically the open research question, with the hope being that you inductively make stronger and stronger inferences for larger N.
(This is very similar to asking when iterated amplification produces a good answer, up to the ambiguity about how you sample questions in amplification.)
(When we actually give judges instructions for now we just tell them to assume that both debater's answers are reasonable. If one debater gives arguments where the opposite claim would also be "reasonable," and the other debater gives arguments that are simple enough to be conclusively supported with the available depth, then the more helpful debater usually wins. Overall I don't think that precision about this is a bottleneck right now.)

Coughin' Connor
by monotreme1000
Connor was in the back of the room playing with his red bandana. Officially, it was the mask he was required to wear to Central High School. But for Connor, would be class clown, the bandana was a prop that he used to amuse some of the slower students in Mr. Smith's American history class. A couple of weeks ago Connor had been at a pop up beer party. There, he had become infected with Covid-19. He hadn't had any symptoms, until now.
When he was a teenager Mr. Smith had enjoyed watching WWII movies. He particularly identified with British Field Marshall Montgomery ("Monty") who Mr. Smith believed he resembled.
Connor had his bandana around his neck when suddenly he started coughing hard. Mr. Smith looked up. He was so startled that his mouth hung open. Covid-19 particles shot out of Connor's mouth at tremendous velocity. Mr. Smith's thin mask stopped a few of them, but most continued straight through and into his mouth. They continued down his pharynx until they reached his lungs.
Bettina, who always sat in the first row, looked behind her when Connor started coughing. She had on an excellent three layer mask purchased by her concerned father. Her mask prevented any viral particles from entering her nose or mouth. However, she had no eye covering (no one had warned the students or teachers that you can be infected through the eyes). So, Connor's Covid-19 viral particles merged with the mucosa surrounding her eyes. The virus would eventually find its way to her lungs.
Connor infected 20 of his classmates that day. Some of those students then infected other students. All told, Connor was responsible for a total of about 100 infections. Most of the infected students had no or mild symptoms. A few needed oxygen for a few days. But only two people became seriously ill - Mr. Smith and Bettina.
2 weeks later
Mr. Smith was on a Zoom call with with some of his fellow teachers and the Principal of his school for a weekly check-in and pep talk. He had been feeling feverish for a few days, but brushed it off. He wasn't a weenie like some of his colleagues who were teaching remotely from their cabins in Colorado.
Bettina's first symptom was that she didn't enjoy eating ice cream at the stand she and her father had been going to for years. The ice cream just didn't taste right.
Mr. Smith awoke in Central Hospital strapped to a gurney and wearing a hospital gown with tubes for oxygen in his nose. He was in a corridor that was crowded with patients, many of them moaning in pain and distress. What the Hell is this, he wondered? Like a scene from Dante's inferno. Mr. Smith didn't feel so good himself. But he wasn't going to moan about it. He wasn't a weenie! Monty wouldn't be moaning in this situation.
Bettina felt strange going to a hospital when she really didn't feel that bad. The doctor explained that her oxygen levels were very low. Her lungs were under serious attack. She would need oxygen for sure. And maybe more.
Over the next few days, both Mr. Smith and Bettina declined. They were both in danger of dying. It was decided that each one only had one hope - Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO).
Mr. Smith finally got his own room. It was small and dark and seemed as if it had been used for something else. But at least he didn't have to listen to all that moaning. Not that he was aware of much, most of the time. In one of his lucid moments, he was asked if he had any family. No, he had never been married and had no children. Did he have any one who close to him? Not really. He regarded most of his fellow High School teachers as ignorant weenies.
The next morning, a nurse came into the room and knew immediately the patient was dead. "I've got another one" she called out. A short time later, an orderly came into the room and moved Mr. Smith's body to the morgue. The orderly had done this many times. He was used to death in the hospital. But this was too much, too many. He had started drinking hoping it would end the nightmares. It didn't.
Since Mr. Smith had no relatives or identified responsible parties to claim his remains, his body was quickly moved from the morgue to a refrigerated truck. After a few days in the truck, it was taken to a field with many recently dig graves. His body was put into a simple box and lowered into a grave. A back hoe filled the grave with dirt. And that was that for Mr. Smith.
Bettina awoke from an induced coma weeks after she had been hooked up to the ECMO machine. She was told that she was better now, much better. The ECMO machine and the large staff of health care professionals that operated it had saved her life. She was happy. But she felt weak and confused. She had to be told things several times before she could understand them.
Carl was waiting for her when she came out of the hospital in a wheel chair. The wheel chair wasn't just a formality. She was too weak to walk on her own. Carl was filled with joy at seeing Bettina again. He had been very afraid that he would lose her. But she seemed so thin and drawn. She had always been a plump girl. But now her skin just seemed to hang on her.
Over time, Bettina got a bit stronger. But she had a secret fear that she didn't tell anyone about. She was continually thinking about breathing. In. Out. In. Out. Over and over again. She was scared that if she didn't think about breathing, she would simply stop. Breathing. So, in, out, in, out, all day long. At night it was worse. Bettina feared that if she slept, she would stop breathing and die in the night. Sometimes she lay in bed for hours before exhaustion over came her and she fell asleep. Carl wondered why she was so tired in the morning and thought it had to do with her illness. It did. But not for a reason he would have guessed.
Carl had another concern. When he received the bill from the hospital, he thought there must be a mistake. Surely a couple of zeros had been added by the computer? No, he learned when he called the billing department. He really did owe that much. What about insurance? The government? Well, they had paid quite a lot. But ECMO was really expensive. Not just the machine, but all those people who were needed to monitor the patient and tweak all the settings 24/7.
Carl continued to work as a shoe salesman for many years until he died of a heart attack. He never did get to retire. Bettina eventually put on the weight she had lost and then some. She didn't eat because she enjoyed certain foods a lot, as she had in the past. She ate because it was just something to do. She never finished high school. Instead, she ended up working as a cashier in a liquor store. When the store was held up, she gave up the money with a blank look on her face. When her manager talked to her about, expecting her to want to quit (most cashier's did after this type of experience) Bettina had just shrugged and said that things like this just happened. Nothing you could do about it. The manager thought Bettina was great. She was "chill". Nothing bothered her.
Conner went to business college but found the math was too hard. On the advice of a drinking buddy, he switched to Public Affairs. This was more his speed. There was a new major called "Risk Communications". Conner figured out that this was just a fancy way to lie to the public about bad things the authorities had done or were responsible for. Just his speed! In the airborne Ebola pandemic of 2038, Conner did his part to delay travel restrictions. For this, his colleagues gave him a new nickname:

That story makes a good point. We're all going to be changed when this is over. No one is an island. Why do we keep forgetting/ignoring we're all connected?

- 60 jobs created in five years
One of Northern Ireland's largest garden nurseries nestled in the heart of Dundonald has unveiled its newly expanded facilities following a significant investment with support from First Trust Bank.
Dundonald Nurseries' £1million expansion programme has seen the business increase its garden centre and warehouse capacity, open a new 'Secret Garden' gift shop and expand its wholesale nursery offering following investment in industry-leading technology, including automated potting equipment. The company's ongoing success has seen its workforce expand from three employees in 2013 to 60 employees within the past five years.
Supplying Tesco, the Henderson Group and independent outlets and florists across Northern Ireland, 98% of all the plants sold are grown on-site in Dundonald. Dundonald Nurseries was founded by the McCully family in 1963 as interest in gardening programmes grew. The business quickly diversified into growing plants and cut flowers to keep up with an ever-changing marketplace
The family also run an award winning 125-seat restaurant on site and due to the growing popularity of its gift shop, a 3,000sf expansion was created to facilitate a children's shop, ladies and gent's clothing and an extensive range of gifts, crafts and homewares.
Dundonald Nurseries owner Malcolm McCully explains that their business success is down to diversifying its offering to meet changing customer needs and cultivating long-term relationships with clients and suppliers. He said;
"Having started out with one small van, the wholesale nursery aspect of our business now requires four large lorries to service our wholesale customers across the country, reflecting the focus we have placed on a high-quality service and products.
"Over the past 55 years, the business has expanded steadily because we are continuously innovating to keep up with changing consumer requirements. We are proud of our growth and recently purchased additional land off-site to build a new-state-of the-art glasshouse complex, equipped with the latest growing technology for plants. We also host fashion shows, gardening talks with afternoon tea, and seasonal evenings such as candlelit Christmas suppers – all with a view of making Dundonald Nurseries a destination for a great day out.
"This is just the latest stage in our investment programme and with the support of First Trust Bank, we have additional growth plans in place to renovate the basement of our restaurant into a function room to offer a new private space for hire."
Speaking about the expansion, Catherine O'Keefe, Business Manager, First Trust Bank added;
"With a focus on quality, provenance and innovation, Dundonald Nurseries continues to thrive, and we are delighted to support Malcolm and his wife Anne through the expansion of the business. The new gift shop and extended garden centre enables the McCully family to offer customers an even greater range of products and services, making the business an asset to the local area – and the perfect destination for Christmas shopping!
"The ongoing expansion programme has led to almost 60 jobs being created in the last five years and it's great to see a family business become such an inspiring success story. We wish the McCully family the best of luck for the future."

An asylum seeker and her baby flown to Brisbane hospital after emergency caesarean
AN ASYLUM-seeker suffering from a potentially deadly pregnancy disorder was left for more than three months on Nauru before an emergency caesarean birth this week.
It is understood that as early as five months, Somalian woman Naima Ahmed, 22, had signs of pre-eclampsia, a serious blood-pressure disorder that, if left untreated, can be fatal to both mother and baby.
Ms Ahmed suffered a serious pre-eclamptic fit on Thursday morning before being taken to a local hospital for an emergency caesarean birth. She was then flown to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital in a critical condition.
Her son was born at 32 weeks but is understood to be in a stable condition.
Refugee advocate Ian Rintoul told The Courier-Mail health authorities contracted to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection had known about Ms Ahmed's deteriorating condition for months, but chose not to act.
"From about five months she had problems – she was very swollen and had blood pressure issues that put her life, and her baby's life, at serious risk," Mr Rintoul said.
Nauru has one hospital that's prepared to accept asylum-seekers with "routine health problems" but for serious conditions, patients are referred to offshore health units.
Doctors For Refugees co-founder Dr Barri Phatarfod said any woman diagnosed with pre-eclampsia should be immediately admitted to hospital for monitoring.
Ms Ahmed's husband, Abdusalem Hersi, remains "extremely distraught" on Nauru but may be brought to Australia in coming days.
An government spokesman told The Courier-Mail Minister Peter Dutton "was not made aware of this individual's health matters" and did not make any decisions about her healthcare during her time on Nauru.
But Dr Phatarfod said there was "no way" the department had not been informed of Ms Ahmed's condition.
"I would be very surprised if he wasn't made aware of her case, but it shows the department is completely ignorant of what is happening in their own medical administrations," Dr Phatarfod said.
Mr Rintoul said the department was aware of the problems of dealing with difficult pregnancies but had "embarked on a dangerous policy of insisting that women give birth on Nauru".

All of us have dreamt of 1 thing dramatic and intimate for the weddings.

Salvadoran women are at the center of the Trump Administration's efforts to overtake the U.S. immigration and asylum programs.

Several government officers, including a supreme court docket choose , have actively supported the campaign and advocated tolerance of infanticide and decriminalization of abortion. Salvadoran ladies have very splendid curvaceous our bodies and are of slender build.
The lady traveled with acquaintances by car for four days from El Salvador to the border, her mom said. El Salvador has draconian anti-abortion legal guidelines, which include stillbirths throughout a house supply or terminations on account of medical emergencies even though these emergencies can't actually be outlined as abortions. Abortion in El Salvador is against the law in all circumstances, even in instances of rape.
A Guide To Clear-Cut El Salvador Women Plans

With a degree in international business, her plan is to leave Soyapango, El Salvador, and start her own business.

So, compliments and sort words to your Salvadoran girlfriend will always be appropriate.

One of many saddest indictments of a lady's standing in El Salvador is the pitiful worth she instructions in the gang's twisted economy. Campaigners have been pushing to change El Salvador's abortion laws, however have had little success.

Programs In Salvadorian Women – An Introduction
On the other hand if the male who made the woman pregnant is a relative of the lady, the household does not open a case to protect the distinction of the household as an alternative of defending the rights of the woman," he said. Some girls who've had abortions — or like 19-year-outdated Evelyn Hernández, who gave delivery outdoors of the hospital and whose baby did not survive — have been convicted of aggravated murder.
Although the Ministry of Well being has birth control plans and techniques, political discourse is imbued with spiritual conservatism which denies the sexual and reproductive rights of ladies, criminalizes all types of contraception and rejects all calls for related to rights regarding sexual diversity and gender identification. Hot Salvadorans are very socialized, so assembly with friends or family members is their favorite pastime.
And the mom's approval is important if you want to marry a Salvadoran bride. On Monday, a Salvadoran decide in a new trial acquitted Ms. Hernández, a decision hailed as a victory for advocates in a country the place prosecutors have pushed past the harsh abortion laws to criminalize obstetric emergencies in some instances.

Women and girls who resist this domination and attempt to claim their rights to be free from it face increased violence by the hands of their abusers, who may be either unknowns, relations, or within the Turcio case, intimate partners.
Convenient Salvadoran Women Systems
The explanations for El Salvador's gender-primarily based violence are advanced, Clarembaux says. You will by no means experience a boring moment together with your Salvadoran lady.
