Winter can be seriously bad for our health, especially for people aged over 65 and those with long term health conditions.
But there are a number of things you can do to keep you and your family well this winter.
Cold weather doesn't have to go hand in hand with illness. Here are some simple things you can do to help yourself stay well this winter.
It's important to keep warm in winter, both inside and outdoors. Keeping warm over the winter months can help prevent colds, flu and more serious health problems such as heart attacks, strokes, pneumonia and depression. A cold home will have a significant impact on your health.
If you have reduced mobility, are 65 or over or have a health condition such as heart or lung disease, you should heat your home to at least 18°C as you are more vulnerable to living in a cold home. It's a good idea to keep your bedroom at this temperature all night if you can.
If you are worried about the cost of keeping your home warm this winter and would like some friendly advice, then one of the West Sussex home energy advisors may be able help.
Eligible households can access free, tailored advice on energy tariff switching, reducing your bills and getting home energy improvements, such as insulation and a new boiler, installed. You may be eligible for a visit if you live on a low income or have a long-term health condition or disability.
For more advice on keeping warm and keeping the energy bills down this winter, please visit West Sussex Affordable Energy.
Flu is a highly infectious illness that can spread rapidly. You may be eligible for a free flu jab if you're at risk of complications from flu.
Find out if you can get the flu jab free of charge by visiting the NHS website.
Food is a vital source of energy, which helps keep your body warm. Try to make sure that you have hot meals and drinks regularly throughout the day and keep active in the home if you can.
We all know that exercise is good for your overall health - and it can keep you warm in winter. If you can stay active, even moderate exercise can bring health benefits. If possible, try not to sit still for more than an hour or so. Remember to speak to your GP before starting any exercise plan.
Wrap up warm, inside and out. Wear lots of thin layers - clothes made from cotton, wool or fleecy fibres are particularly good and help to maintain body heat. Wear shoes with a good grip to prevent slips and falls when walking outside. If possible, stay inside during a cold period if you have heart or respiratory problems.
Check on older neighbours or relatives to make sure they're safe and well.
GP surgeries are under pressure every day of the year and these only increases as winter sets in. Please help support your NHS by using the right services.
Plan ahead and order your repeat prescriptions in good time and remember, your local pharmacists are there to help and advice as an alternative to your busy and stretched GP.
Your local pharmacy is an accessible resource for you and your family. Your pharmacist can offer advice or help if you have run out of any prescribed medication. You can also collect medicine for minor ailments or illnesses.
Some Coastal West Sussex pharmacies will be open on the bank holidays over Christmas.
If you or someone you care for requires medicines regularly, make sure you order and collect repeat prescriptions in good time to ensure you or your family have enough medicine.
Advice and information on how to stay healthy this winter can be found in the Winter Health section of the NHS website.

Collaborative Robots are now skilled welders, what's next?
What can collaborative robots used in welding teach us about other collaborative robot applications? Traditional automation of welding has successfully helped an exclusive group of companies address labor shortages, variable cost overruns, difficult production targets and quality issues. What are the barriers of entry that these companies were able to overcome? What about those companies that cannot overcome these barriers? Is there a solution that delivers these same benefits and more to companies that could never automate their welding in the past? We will answer these questions and more as we explore the collaborative robot in welding and the impact it is having on how companies are looking at welding automation now and into the future. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation.
Learning objectives:
- Examine obstacles and threats of labor shortages, cost overruns, and quality.
- Review barriers of entry to robotic implementations, especially welding.
- Learn how collaborative robots can be applied to new applications, such as welding.

Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations Development Coordination Office Robert Piper has applauded the socio-economic reforms implemented in Azerbaijan as he met with the country`s Deputy Prime Minister, Chair of the National Coordination Council for Sustainable Development Ali Ahmadov in New York. Piper hailed Azerbaijan`s efforts to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
He stressed the importance of engaging all the interested parties in the implementation of the SDGs, and noted the significance of public-private sector partnership in this regard. The UN Assistant Secretary-General stressed the opportunity of implementing pilot projects in this field in Azerbaijan, describing the country as the most successful in the region in the implementation of the SDGs jointly with the UN, the World Bank and the IMF.
Piper also affirmed the UN`s readiness to support Azerbaijan in peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem. He also stressed the opportunity of implementing joint projects with the government of Azerbaijan to ensure IDPs` labor market integration and employment.
Ali Ahmadov underlined Azerbaijan`s successful cooperation with the UN agencies. He noted that joining the SDGs initiative opened a new page in cooperation with the UN.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted that as the result of Armenia`s aggressive policy, 20 percent of Azerbaijani lands were occupied and more than one million Azerbaijanis became refugees and IDPs, saying this impedes the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in the country.(AZERTAC)

The researchers, Jian-Nan Wang and coauthors from Jilin University in Changchun, China, achieved these properties by creating a microscopic texture on the graphene oxide's surface. By shining two laser beams on the surface, they created an interference pattern that burned tiny grooves into the material. The surface immediately took on an iridescent appearance, shimmering like a butterfly's wing. The scientists explained that the tiny grooves, which form highly ordered periodic structures, act as diffraction gratings that split white light into its various colored wavelengths.
The researchers discovered that the surface effects also caused the graphene oxide to exhibit highly adhesive superhydrophobicity. When they poured water on the surface, the water merged into nearly spherical droplets. Although the droplets are barely in contact with the graphene oxide, they adhere to the surface, not detaching even when the surface is held upside down. The researchers attributed this phenomenon to the surface's microscopic unevenness and a decrease in surface energy caused during laser irradiation, which removes some hydrophilic oxygen groups.
The researchers predict that the combination of these two properties on one surface could have applications in microfluidic devices, where a superhydrophobic surface is useful for transporting small amounts of liquid in a controlled way. Graphene oxide might also be used as a biocompatible surface for growing cells, which requires controlled wetting.
The iridescence might be used for color-coding different states in microfluidic devices, as well as decorating for aesthetic purposes. Also, by altering the optical properties of graphene-based devices, it may open doors to new optical or electronic devices.

A new International Energy Agency (IEA) report lists South Africa, together with a handful of other territories, as having the potential to tap its abundant solar and wind resources to produce "green" hydrogen-rich chemicals and fuels, such as ammonia and methanol.
The insight paper, titled 'Renewable Energy for Industry', acknowledges that reducing long-term greenhouse gas emissions from industries such as cement, steel and chemicals will be "one of the toughest challenges of the energy transition".
However, it states that the recent rapid cost reductions in solar photovoltaic and wind generation may enable new options for greening industry, either directly from electricity or through the production of hydrogen-rich chemicals and fuels.
IEA senior energy analyst Cédric Philibert says there are several current and future options to increase the uptake of renewables as one way of reducing energy and process carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the industrial sector.
If based on renewable technologies, electrification of industrial processes may offer greater potential for CO2 emissions reductions than direct renewable heat in industry, he adds.
"This would entail continued electrification of energy for motion and force, still far from being completed, and electrification of heat and steam production via a series of technologies. Some technologies, such as heat pumps and mechanical vapour recompression, are particularly effective."
In addition, the report argues that renewables-based electrolysis of water could produce hydrogen-rich chemicals such as ammonia or methanol. These could be used in various industries as precursors, process agents and fuels, as well as in other end-use sectors such as buildings and transport. Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas by passing an electric current through the water.
Territories such as South Africa, Australia, the Horn of Africa, North Africa, northern Chile, southern Peru Patagonia, parts of China and the midwestern US, are viewed as having good potential for such activities, owing to their abundant (and, thus, comparatively cheap) renewable generation resources.
"In regions where resources are especially abundant, the cost of hydro, solar and wind power can fall below $0.03/kWh and supply an electricity load with high load factors, particularly when combined."
Such low electricity prices could allow hydrogen to be produced at costs competitive with natural gas reforming, oil-cracking or coal gasification, but without the associated CO2 emissions. Global CO2 emissions associated with manufacturing nitrogen fertilisers are estimated 420-million tons a year
"The low hanging fruit seems to be ammonia, which is used mostly to manufacture nitrogen fertilisers," the reports states.
In some cases, green ammonia could immediately be competitive with conventionally produced ammonia.
The report calculates the cost of producing green ammonia to be between $400/t and $700/t depending on the cost of the electricity and the load factor of the electrolyser. By comparison, natural gas-based ammonia production currently ranges in cost from $200/t to $600/t, with the lowest-cost production currently arising in the US, owing to its abundant and inexpensive shale gas resources.
The ammonia could be shipped from the best resource areas at a cost of between $40/t and $60/t, depending on distance and vessel size.
"Green ammonia could be more affordable than conventionally produced ammonia in some cases, or could require a carbon price of approximately $25, mainly to cover transportation costs."
Besides ammonia production, the report argues that green hydrogen could help decarbonise industry by serving as a precursor to manufacture methanol and other chemicals. Renewables-based hydrogen could also be used to reduce iron-ore to pig iron, which could then be melted in electric arc furnaces with scrap.
"Emissions associated with cement manufacturing could be reduced by using solar or electric heat, or by combusting hydrogen-rich synthetic fuels," the report adds.
However, applying solar and wind power to current levels of production in the chemicals, iron and steel, and cement sectors would entail several terawatt-hours (TWh) of additional renewable-energy production not already been factored into the IEA's long-term low-carbon scenarios. Energy consumption in the three subsectors currently exceeds 110 petajoules, equivalent to over 35 000 TWh.
"Overall, a combination of direct process electrification and use of storable hydrogen-rich chemicals and fuels manufactured from electricity may offer the greatest potential for renewables uptake by various industries," the report concludes.

Delegation of the Famagusta Chamber of Commerce and Industry met with the Foreign Minister Mr. Nikos Christodoulides on Thursday 3/5/2018, with whom he exchanged views on the current developments in the Cyprus issue, the visit of the Petitions Committee of the European Parliament to Cyprus, May 8 for the issue of Famagusta, the opening of the Deryneia checkpoint, business missions abroad and other issues.
Referring to developments in the Cyprus issue, Mr Christodoulides expressed the view that talks will soon resume, based on the Guterres framework, and the appointment of American Jane Hol Lute as the new envoy of the General Secretary. which is expected soon to come to Cyprus for exploratory contacts with interested parties.
Regarding the visit of the Petitions Committee of the European Parliament to Cyprus on 7-8 May 2018, the Minister pointed out that its purpose is to confirm and restore the written declaration of the European Parliament dated 14/02/2012, which provides, inter alia, pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolutions 550 (1984) and 789 (1992), on the return of Famagusta to its legal residents.
On behalf of the ACCI, the President, Mr. Avgoustis Papathomatos, expressed the wish that Famagusta will finally open for its residents and that this can be combined with the forthcoming opening of the Dyrinesia checkpoint.
Business issues were further discussed and it was agreed to organize joint missions abroad to promote and develop Famagusta and Cyprus in general, as well as to organize other events in Cyprus on matters falling within the competence of the Foreign Minister.

In 2018, the tobacco industry in North Macedonia faced many challenges, with the greatest being posed by ongoing strong rises in tobacco excise tax. Cigarettes, being by far the biggest category, continues to be subject to the highest tax rates, which is making its volume sales decline consistently as more smokers are unable to afford the subsequent retail price rises.
The main reason for the decline in volume sales within cigarettes is permanently increasing unit prices as a result of excise legislation changes, which will continue to be implemented until 2023. These changes are part of the government programme to bring national legislation (including regulation of tobacco) and taxation policies (including tobacco taxes and excises) in line with EU requirements.
As a result of Philip Morris International Inc and Tutunski Kombinat Prilep ad's strategic partnership, the production facilities of Tutunski have been significantly improved to meet the high standards required by Philip Morris to manufacture its cigarettes. Modernisation took place in Tutunski's factory over the review period and, in 2018, a renovated production hall was opened with an area of over 5,000 sq m and new machines producing a new format of cigarettes: Marlboro Core 7.
Traditional grocery retailers continue to dominate the distribution of tobacco products in North Macedonia, especially cigarettes. In 2018, independent small grocers and newsagent-tobacconists/kiosks were the largest distribution channels for cigarettes in volume and value terms.
Over the forecast period, tobacco volume sales will continue to decline due to gradually falling demand for cigarettes, in parallel with declining smoking prevalence and the continued shift to fine cut tobacco, e-vapour products and heated tobacco products. Unit prices of cigarettes are set to continue increasing due to the amended Excise Law over 2019-2023.

Ramon brought the book with the outside
In it to the twilight chamber this evening.
We had not seen the book in many years.
It is kept with the night library in the cliff tower.
When it is opened, it shows the places
Around our far islands as if they were real.
The waves crash, the birds fly, smoke rises
From the villages, animals run in the streets.
The glow produced by the book fills the room
With a light so soft it seems made of the light
Sails dream-ships hold to the wind when they speak
To us in our hearts at the gates of the twilight
Beyond the woods of Ichy where we stole rods.
I began one of the old songs as we watched
The enchantment of magical places begin
To occupy our blood once again. It was a balm
That made the images seem more than alive.
"Our conversations this night must not include
Anything that will advise the others that we are here.
Tonight we are as cats in the changing of the world."
We are bound to the book by dreaming. It is brought
That we may find our ways across unknown lands,
The wild and the hostile. We are warriors of the light.
With the book we can see the deep pools in the river.
Ramon kept us at the book for most of the night.
Then, he took a handful of pebbles and threw
Them with great force at a small bush just outside
The glow. A beautiful music came from the bush.
Then a woman in white came forth and toward us.
Ramon bowed to her and handed her the book
Which she closed and she went 'round the bush
Faster and faster until all was a blur.
"We know enough now to continue," Ramon said.
We felt well-armed and guarded by an unknown
Presence when we left for the islands in the morning.
Near the end of the story
We could see that here was fire
On the mountains. The air itself
Was a gray-blue shroud tossed
Over our heads, a demon,
A full-rigged ship of clouds and smoke.
We struggled to complete the story
Before it was too late. I was not brave.
I could see my shadow on the ground.
It too looks like smoke. I thought of killing
Myself but I could not leave my shadow
Here alone. The waters began to overtake
Me. I would not wait for the end of the story.
The whole story is dripping with blood,
A mythology canonized by yesterdays,
Hints of nothingness, whispered over
And over again without end. Only
The fire persists as the ashes fall
From the sky, as the ocean too
Becomes a gray mask, its own oblivion.
Leaning over the abyss,
Part of some divine wind,
A kamikazi, the voice
Lifting above the Grand
Canyon, the brink of Niagara
Falls. For a second or two,
A clear moment of understanding.
An ability to watch the suicide,
Exiting the body and confronting
The emptiness as it careens
Into a view of a race car
Disappearing from sight
As one stands on that edge.
Then a silver-blue oblivion.
What can we talk about
While we dance? Would
You prefer that we make love?
Or will a nice neckrub suffice?
Over here, it feels like the
Screws are being removed
One by by, placed in a pan,
Until one can see the mechanism
That makes it all work. Each lovely
I open the curtain too early
In the morning. The entire sky
Filled to capacity with swirling
Stars, galaxies in a billion colors,
You whispering in my ear
Just before I find sleep.
I awake in a red room.
It is packed to the walls
With Schumann's Opus 15.*
I could not stop crying.
My mouth was still very sore.
I had nothing left to remember.
I could see the drawers
Where it was all kept.
I could see my friends looking
Through the drawers, but was unable
To make a sound, except, maybe,
That of a field of crickets
Under a full moon.
When I broke, I swore
I would never write another poem.
This is the one after that promise.
I will look for something to put
Me back to sleep that does
Not include your face, your hands,
Your eyes, your smile, anything about you.
A flight of fighter jets begins to perform
Acrobatics just above my bed.
*Scenes From Childhood
The sun finds silly places to look
For things, across a cat's fur
While it walks across the gravel
Just as evening is repairing itself
For its show.
It got mixed up with the garden.
I look down on it from my second-
Story window and watch it move
In and out of trees, showing secret
Places in them for a few precious
This evening the breeze
Will have nothing
To do with anything.
It has found something to do
"Later," it says, "When it starts to get dark,
Just before the moon comes up."
Maybe, but it usually lies
About important things like this.
Take, take the light,
Who blows out the stars
At night? Give you dreamlines,
Give you footsteps, give you
The voices walking in things.
Stand at the top, where the wind
Jumps and hops, where the nerves
Crackle and pop, where the bells
Mop the morning, then they stop.
Stars hiding in the trees while it rains.
Natural objects tempting the language
To behave in ways we have not seen.
The voices of insects becoming angel songs.
I've waited a long time to be here with you
Like this. I feel your eyes upon my vestigial
Scribbling as I try to speak to you across
A body barely holding on to the paper.
for d.a. levy
Thousands of lights begin to discover us.
We had been hidden for nearly a week.
These lights were of the forest, not of man.
I begged for the original silence, no space,
No time. I asked that oblivion protect us,
That all of history invent other than ourselves.
There are fireflies who remind me of particular
Persons I know. I do not speak their names.
They are as singular as silences. No longer
Confused by oblivion, they are as real as dreams
Carrying a dagger into the rooms of sleeping.
Shadows of tigers appear on the walls.
They have come for the hurricane,
To trap the horizon where we cannot see it,
That they may approach us in blue and vermillion.
They own our consciousness like nightmares.
On the other side of this, there is morning.
Even as we are discovered, it is dressing
Itself before the mirror in a shower of birdsong.
We will wait to be kissed by morning.
We will stare uselessly from within this dream.
We will hear the breathing of the tigers.
A great wind labors to push us onward.
We strive to be near nothingness,
Hoping to be senseless in the gold of illusion.

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.

How to Unlock Return to Sender Achievement in The Witcher 3 DLC Hearts of Stone
Return to Sender is a Trophy/Achievement in the expansion of the Witcher 3 – Hearts of Stone. To unlock this Achievement, you need to kill three archers but by deflecting their own arrows back at them. This Guide will show you how to unlock the Trophy/Achievement in The Witcher 3 DLC Hearts of Stone.
How to Unlock Return to Sender Achievement
As we mentioned above, you need to kill three archers by deflecting their own arrows, so first need to find a place where you can perform to kill three archers and second you need to upgrade to max skill of arrows deflecting.
Where to Find 3 Archers
In order to find 3 archers, you need to head to an abandoned camp as shown in the image below. As and when you enter this abandoned camp you'll be ambushed by an archer and three swordsmen. Now here kill the swordsmen as quick as you can and then maintain a distance from the archer so that you can deflect the arrow back to her.
How to Deflect the Archer's Arrow
When he draws his sword, then press the parry button as the arrow is about to hit you. This way you can easily deflect the arrow off your weapon and it will return to the archer.
After taking her down, head left to the jetty where you'll encounter the second archer. Repeat the same strategy to take this one down as well. Right, after you kill this archer, on your right is a cottage where two swordsmen and an archer are waiting for you.
Kill the swordsmen first and use the same parry button strategy to take the last archer down. Once you've successfully killed these three archer by deflecting the arrows, you'll be rewarded with the Return to Sender trophy.

The Sony PS3 Slim is finally here. Having undergone a diet, the once "fat" video game console has emerged as a slimmer, trimmer cooler version of its original self and is not too different from the original version.
The Slim is smaller in size, a lower price tag and has a 120GB HDD this is up from the original's 80GB. It has the same features as the original PS3 yet consumes 34 percent less power. It also takes up about 32 percent less space. A matted finish replace the glossy black finish of the original. This is an added bonus for those who worry about fingerprints and dust. However; If you like shiny things, all is not loss. There is still some gloss on the side panels and on the disc drive. A new PS3 logo has been etched on the side.
The hard drive has been moved from the side of the system to front for better accessibility. If you do so choose, you can replace the hard drive without voiding the warranty. Unscrew two screws, and you are on your way.
The Slim measures 11.42 x 2.56 x 11.42 in relation to 12.75 x 3.86 x 10.8 in the older PS3 measures.
The Slim weighs 7lbs whereas the original game console weighed at at 11lbs. This decrease in size and weight makes it more haulable from room to room or place to place. The touch- sensitive on / off and disc -eject buttons have been replaced with real buttons which light up when the console is on.
The Slim has a smaller and more energy efficient 45nm version of the cell processor. The original had a 60nm cell processor. This has cut energy consumption by two thirds and has made fan noise ever quieter than before. The ps3 slim has built-in Wi-Fi and two USB ports. The Slim also has a blu-ray drive. The blu-ray drive can be used for movies as well as, games. It has a free online gaming service and a built-in web browser.
The new system has Bravia Sync on it. If you have a Sony TV, this will be an added bonus because it will allow direct control of your console with your television remote control. For those who do not own a Sony TV, this update will not be too important.
The Slim meets backward compatibility with PlayStation 1 games but just like the original there is no backwards compatibility for PS2 games. Meaning you can not play PS2 games on the Slim. Sony says this feature is off the table entirely. To some, this is disappointing. Gamers who still enjoy their PS2 games will have to continue with on using two systems.
There is no longer the option to install an alternative operating system. The slim does not have infrared port. Which means non-Bluetooth universal remotes are not compatible with PS3 Slim.
The Slim can stand vertically or horizontally. The Slim tend to become less stable when spinning a disk. You …
In the state of California, the law relating to claims for the loss resulting from wrongful death is a creature of statute and it may often be found complicated or even unfounded. You need to understand your rights and those of others when someone you love dies due to others' actions.
If the death was caused by negligence or intentional misconduct of another person, it is considered wrongful death. This also includes malpractice by a doctor who fails to treat a curable condition in time, or performs a surgery carelessly that results in death. The deceased's loved ones often have a valid claim after car accidents, slips, trips and falls that lead to unexpected deaths. The same rights follow in the event that an intentional act, like assault and battery, directly results in death.
One of the most conflicting decisions to make in law regarding wrongful death is determining who is allowed, or has standing, to bring a lawsuit. The standing is the right to bring a wrongful death action and that depends on statutes that deal with the order in which the surviving people are entitled to the belongings of the dead. For instance, usually in a wrongful death action the ones with standing are the husband or wife and the kids. Typically, siblings, parents, and other family members of the victim lack standing to bring a suit, but there are complex rules with some exceptions to determine who is able to recover damages that can sometimes allow those people to have standing.
Such instances could be if there are no children or spouse, then the domestic partner may bring suit. In cases where the immediate family is not alive, then it would go to next surviving relative which would be the grandchildren if there were any.
It is correct even if the parents of the deceased are alive, unless either of them or both were supported by the dead. Complicating matters even further the surviving spouse of a void or voidable marriage who's found by the court to have believed in good faith the marriage to the decedent was valid may have a viable suit.
Damages can be addressed only after standing has been determined. Never forget that damages in these and other personal injury actions can be generally classified as economic or non-economic. Economic damages are intended to cover funeral expenses, burial expenses, and lost support. Damages not affecting economy include the loss of relationship between surviving loved ones and the deceased.
Detailed Economic Damages:
1. Financial support contributed by the decedent to the family during either the life expectancy before his/her death or the life expectancy of surviving loved one, whichever one is shorter;
2. The shortfall of gifts or other such benefits that are anticipated to be received by the loved person from the deceased;
3. Cost of funeral and burial;
4. An estimate of the household services that the decedent would have offered.
In the case of non-economic damages, law to the following limits …

The once-upscale townhouses of Sylvan Villas featured wood-burning fireplaces, formal dining rooms and three upstairs bedrooms for comfortable family living.
That's how the units were described in a 1998 newspaper advertisement offering them for rent at a starting rate of $675 a month.
But in recent years, the 18 units in three buildings at the intersection of Sylvan Drive and Gibraltar Road in Exeter Township have appeared unoccupied.
The once-bustling but now apparently idle complex intrigues lifelong Exeter resident Rachel Harmelin, who submitted a question to the Reading Eagle's "Ask the Eagle" reader-powered journalism project.
"There's a group of townhouses on Gibraltar Road in Exeter Township that seem to be abandoned," she wrote. "Growing up they were all inhabited. What happened?"
Harmelin, 33, said her younger sister, Alexandra, 31, had friends living in Sylvan Villas when the sisters were in high school. Harmelin hasn't seen any lights or activity at the complex in about two years, she said, but the lawn, though shaggy, appears to have been mowed at least once over the summer.
Taxes are paid
Taxes for the complex on three contiguous parcels at 700-700A Gibraltar Road are current, including the $47,060 due in 2018, said Charles I. Diamond, Exeter tax collector. Berks County records show the property is owned by Josephine M. Tripodi of Philadelphia.
Tripodi developed the apartment complex with her late husband, Dominic, who died Oct. 3, 1997, according to court documents.
The Tripodis bought the properties in 1973 and filed subdivision and development plans with the Berks County Planning Commission in 1984. Plans showed eight apartment buildings, to be known as Sylvan Villas, on three contiguous parcels, totaling about 22 acres. However, only phases 1 and 2 were completed.
"It is my understanding that she is an older woman and does not like to sell property," said Will Brugger, Exeter Township code enforcement and assistant zoning officer.
"There may be long-term tenants living in a couple of the units," Brugger added.
Attempts to reach Josephine Tripodi by telephone were unsuccessful.
Ask the Eagle is a public-powered reporting project that gives you a voice in our region's news coverage. We will delve into any topic or issue that's important to you. What questions do you have? Ask the Eagle and find out more.
North Coventry dispute
The Tripodis owned and developed other properties and apartment complexes in southeastern Pennsylvania, including the Kline Place apartments at 644 Kline Ave. in North Coventry Township, Chester County. That property is the subject of a long-standing legal dispute between Josephine Tripodi and the township.
"We have been in litigation about 10 years," said Kevin Hennessey, North Coventry's township manager. "Kline Place is vacant by court order."
According to online court documents, North Coventry began litigation in November 2007 when it filed a complaint against Tripodi, citing noncompliance with property codes. Hennessey said the township inspected Kline Place last year and found mold, but he believes the complex could be rehabilitated and made safe for habitation.
"We have had people interested in purchasing the apartments as is, but Mrs. Tripodi has refused to discuss this as an option," he said.
Tripodi has been paying the taxes and maintaining the lawn and landscaping, Hennessey said.
"What she has said is that her husband built them and she wants to retain them," he said, "so it is a sentimental situation for her."
In Exeter, Brugger said that there are no code violations at Sylvan Villas to the best of his knowledge, and the township has not taken any action to force anyone to vacate the premises.
"Now that it has come up," he said, "I will look into it."

With all the pressure on the Independent Agency System for merger-and-acquisition (M&A) activity, due to aging principals, lack of new talent entering
the business and the failure to implement succession plans
on one end – and the growing appetite for agencies on the
part of large brokers and public companies, hedge funds
and banks on the other end, why aren't there more successful transactions? Why do some deals disintegrate during the
negotiation process or simply blow up almost at the point of
closing, after so much wasted time, money and effort?
The number of M&A deals during the last few years has
increased, but the supply and demand so apparent in the
marketplace is not even close to reaching its potential.
What are the major factors that contribute to many deals
not closing as the reality of the transaction looms? I decided
to dig deeper beyond the traditional issues, like price, to find
problems that can't be overcome. Here are just a few of the
contributing factors:
Lack of planning and preparation for the inevitable
exit every business owner must face. An owner suddenly decides that it is time to sell or merge (pick one),
starts talking with other owners he/she knows about
exploring the possibility of getting together. Or, another option: Engaging a consultant, committing to a
substantial engagement and success fee, and, without
much homework on the owner's part, expecting the
consultant to put it all together in a nice neat package.
Not understanding the basic fundamentals of how
deals are made and what options might be best, even
before engaging a consultant's professional advice. And
the very first fundamental to know is, what is the value
of the business in the mind of the owner? How did
they arrive at that value?
Not paying attention to the difference between a stock
deal vs. an asset sale and the tax implication of each
transaction. Some owners don't know the differences
between an LLC, a regular Corp or a Sub S Corp.
Having no basic benchmark information to show thebusiness' revenue growth, profitability per employee(spread), expenses per employee and other trendsthat measure the agency against industry peers andto itself. So many agency owners mean to do this,yet never get around to it. Not understanding in advance — beyond price —the terms and conditions, financials, tax implications,employment contracts, payment formulas such asearn-outs and potential claw-backs, and how these fac-tors eventually determine the ultimate purchase price. Not having a crystal-clear vision of why you want tosell, merge or buy and not setting a specific deadlineto make it happen.
Not comprehending the importance of due diligence,
and why ignoring or delaying this process will
inevitably come back to bite you.
Failure to have a clear insight and thorough understand-ing of at least these factors — and there are many more— will generally lead to a deal never happening. And whenthe deal does blow up, the parties almost always point to thedetails of the deal — the fundamentals that were wrong orthe price that couldn't be agreed upon or some things thatwere "just not fair."Yes, these are the excuses most often expressed whendeals blow up. Excuses, maybe. But not reasons.
When I decided to dig deeper beyond the usual excuses I
did so because I was convinced that these excuses were not
really the actual reasons that cause most deals to fail.
The real reason is usually human failure placed squarely

Norwalk girls basketball uniforms honor Richard Fuller
Those in attendance at Norwalk High School's Scarso Gymnasium on Friday evening were the first to see the patches the Bears wore on the left shoulders of their uniforms to honor the late Richard Fuller, the father of Norwalk head coach Rick Fuller.
There was no formal announcement of the addition to the uniforms, so fans would have had to look very closely — or wait for the happy postgame mingling after the Bears' 66-53 victory over Darien — to see that the white patches were stitched with "in memory of RNF Sr."
Rick Fuller said he and his mother, Carolyn — who was at Friday's game — had wanted the patches sooner, but they wanted them to be just right.
"Basically my mother did the design, and it took some time to get the design together," Rick Fuller said. "It took Cook Printing in Norwalk about two weeks to get them to us."
Richard Fuller Sr., a Brien McMahon High School graduate, "had been a big supporter of Norwalk High School basketball," according to his son, who is in his eighth season directing the Norwalk girls.
"At the beginning of the season I told the girls I wanted to dedicate this season to my dad, and the girls were on board," Rick Fuller said. "He followed them and was often at games. He'd be on the bottom bleachers, yelling at the officials. He's a big supporter of athletics in the city, and he was very excited when I got this job."
Fuller Sr. was a community organizer and leader who server as the head of the George Washington Carver Center for close to 35 years, and also sat on the Norwalk Board of Education for nearly 25 years.
"For me, this is personal," Rick Fuller said. "I say a word or two to him before every game. He would always tell me to keep all this in perspective. First, they're teenagers. Second, It's a game, and you're really preparing them for life. My dad always had advice on how to get to the girls and how to make them better people."

The Daily Signal
(August 29, 2017)
Some judges are determined to strike down election integrity laws, no matter what.
How else can you explain last week's irrational decision handed down by federal District Court Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos?
A President Barack Obama appointee, Ramos is at least consistent. This was the fifth time she has rejected a voter ID law for Texas.
Her 2014 rebuff of the original version of the Texas law made it clear that she believes all voter ID laws are based solely on the desire to discriminate, not improve the integrity of the election process.
Now you know why the plaintiffs went shopping to her federal court to bring the statewide challenge.
In 2014, Ramos ruled that the law discriminated against minority voters—ignoring clear evidence that this is not the case. Minority turnout had actually increased in the 2013 state election, the first election held with the new ID law in place.
What makes Ramos' latest ruling so odd is that the amended law not only followed all guidelines set out by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, it also contained provisions that Ramos herself had found acceptable as an interim remedy for the November 2016 election.
Adding a new wrinkle, Ramos also ruled unacceptable a provision Texas adopted that has been part of federal law—and never challenged—since 2002.
Here's why Ramos' decision is likely to be reversed.
The original Texas law required voters to present a government-issued photo ID, and the state to provide a free ID to anyone who did not already have one. Ramos ruled this provision was discriminatory, and a split 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year upheld her views on the discriminatory effect claim.
But the 5th Circuit remanded the case to Ramos, saying there wasn't sufficient evidence to support her conclusion that the legislature had a discriminatory purpose in passing the law.
Most importantly, the 5th Circuit held that, since the vast majority of Texas voters could meet the ID requirement, Ramos would have to tailor her remedy to rectify only the discriminatory effect on the very small number of voters who could not meet the ID requirement.
By throwing out the entire law, Ramos has blatantly ignored the 5th Circuit's directive.
The 5th Circuit also found acceptable the section of prior Texas law that allowed "forms of identification like utility bills, bank statements, or paychecks."

The shock of ginger hair which gained trumpeter Robert ('hudnick his life-long nickname of Red Rodney is far from being the only colourful thing about his life. bizarre even by jazz standards. It wasn't the only time he would resort to a pseudonym. either. but more of that later.
Red Rodney first made his mark on the New York jazz scene when ('harlie Parker selected him to take over the trumpet chair in his quintet. recently vacated by Miles Davis and temporarily filled by McKinley l)orham. The choice of the 22 year old white trumpeter puzzled almost everybody. but as Parker's biographer Ross Russell put it. Bird wanted someone 'who could play. who would follow directions. and who thought ('harlie Parker was (iod. Rodney measured up in every respectf
It is doubly appropriate that Red Rodney should be returning to lidinburgh to make his debut Jazz Festival appearance at the same propitious moment as Bird. ('lint Eastwood's film biography of Parker. in which Rodney is played by Michael Zelnicker. receives its British premiere screening at the Film Festival. llisJazz Festival appearances will include headlining Bird/and (see jazz listing). a tribute to Parker named after the famous New York jazz spot dedicated to the saxophonist just before Rodney joined the band in 1949.
His two year stay in the Parker quintet changed his life. for better and for worse. He acquired a priceless musical education alongside the man generally held to be the greatest of all jazz improvisers. but also picked up a heroin habit from the most notorious user on the scene. perhaps giving in to the prevailing suspicion ofthe time that in order to play like Bird. you had to do like Bird. despite the saxophonist's warnings to lay off. It led to several spells in the federal narcotics hospital in Lexington.
'l was with ('harlie Parker for about three and a half years.' says the trumpeter. 'and that was kind of like going to college for me. If you spend time on the stand listening to a great genius like that. you can't help but learn to be a better player. Bebop is the hardest music of all to play. and I remember that first week in the band was really hard. but getting to play it every night meant I started learning right away.'
It was to be a long time before Red Rodney really got to use the full benefit of that musical education. He had played in big hands led by ('laude 'l'hornhill. (iene Krupa and

Woody Herman. but chafed under the restrictions ofstrict ensemble playing and limited scope for improvisation. His years in the Parker group. which included an infamous tour of the Southern states during which the trumpeter had to pretend to be an albino to placate local feeling about racially mixed bands. allowed him full freedom of musical expression. but the acquired problems relating to drugs. and the drift away from bebop in the mid-1950s. side-tracked the trumpeter.
'After I split with ('harlie. when he started to work with the strings and so on. I didn't really get to play much jazz. I needed to make some money. and I did all the kind ofjobs where you actually do that. like playing in the studios. I played the show orchestras in Las Vegas for a while as well. backing all the big singers and so on. It's no fun to play that stuff.'
In the late 1950s. however. Red Rodney took another stage name. and tried a different line. The trumpeter became (ieneral McIntyre. and perpetrated a series of frauds. culminating in a robbery at the Atomic Energy ('ommission in Mercury. Nevada. in which he inadvertantly acquired documents the (iovernment badly wanted back. With his record. the FBI soon worked out what was going down. It was the plausible confidence trickster's big mistake. but it also turned out to be Red Rodney's big break.
He was sentenced to five years. the first six months of which were spent in Leavenworth. and the rest of the 27 months he actually served in the more congenial surroundings of Fort Worth. 'l'hat latter prison proved a good one for the trumpeter: he quit heroin and took a college degree in law. although he was ultimately disbarred from practising because of

his criminal record. 'l'he whole thing was a bizarre episode in a strange life. but. as he told Village Voice jazz writer(iary (iiddinslbeyoml confirming it was all true. Rodney never spoke of the episode when I talked to him on his last visit to Fdinburgh) in the wake of Watergate in 1975. he has no regrets.
'l have no regrets whatsoever. because I've lived a full life and I never hurt anybody. I suppose there is a little guilt in the act alone -— you know it's the wrong thing to do - but when I compare it with what's happening today. then no. it's really not wrong. it was fun. And I paid the dues. I paid more dues than the sonovabitches who almost stole the country are going to pay.'

I am
I don't think I should talk a lot about myself now. Some things should be left until the time when you get to know me better and from the different sides. Shouldn't they? Anyway, you can always write to me and ask any question you have. I promise to answer them all honestly =) My name is Irina. I do not want to speak about my age, because for me it's nothing, but meaningless numbers - you are just as young as you feel. Additionally we can discuss everything in our personal correspondence. Probably you already had time to think, "Who is that self-confident girl?" Well, yes, maybe I am like that. I always follow the proverb "you will never have a second chance to make a first impression". I hope I managed to hook you ))
In my spare time I love to draw, that is why don't be surprised when I give you your portrait during one of our dates. I am fond of reading. Book is one of the things that I would take with me on a desert island without any hesitations. About other things that I'd take with me, I'll whisper in your ear personally. Especially I am passionate about poems, they can express the human feelings so subtly. Every day I try to jog to keep my body toned and my figure young and beautiful.At the same time, I am happy with the passive rest - just to lay on a sofa with my beloved, watching a good movie sounds tempting to me. I'll tell you my other secret - I am fond of cooking. My friends consider me to be a wizard in a kitchen. And the real happiness for me is to cook for my beloved man and see his eyes, while he enjoys dishes that are cooked with love. So will you take a chance on writing to me?
Looking for
My heart was broken after my divorce...But now I've become stronger and I am ready to let a new man into my life. Who knows, maybe we are created for each other? Attentiveness is what I appreciate in men most, attentiveness not only to the woman herself but preferably to the details too, decency, and neatness. I hate when someone lies to me or is rude with me. In such situations I no longer consider that person in a friendly manner and I feel hurt by their behavior. In other words, I feel disappointed. Therefore, I never allow myself to behave in that way either. First, I can never forgive someone, who was trying to deceive me once. The second is betrayal. I want to be the only and beloved, as much as I want to love and to be loyal.

Today, Assistant Editor Laura van den Berg, author of What the World Will Look Like When All the Water Leaves Us, shares her anticipated fiction picks for 2010:
Stations West by Allison Amend (LSU, March 2010). I loved Amend's debut collection, Things That Pass For Love (OV Books, 2008), and can't wait to check out her historical novel from LSU's Yellow Shoe Fiction Series.
Boys and Girls Like You and Me by Aryn Kyle (Scribner, 2010). After reading Kyle's story "Allegiance" in Best American Short Stories, I was hooked and couldn't wait to read her second book, after the stellar novel The God of Animals.
How to Escape From a Leper Colony by Tiphanie Yanique (Graywolf, March 2010). Praised as "fiction of the first rank" by Ben Fountain, this debut collection is sure to be stellar.
Everything Here is the Best Thing Ever by Justin Taylor (Harper, February 2010). Of Taylor's work, Padgett Powell says, "There is a debt paid to Donald Barthelme…and a strange undertow of Philip Roth, which makes for a new literary beast." That alone was enough for me to add this debut collection to my "to read" list.
Come back tomorrow for Adam Day's poetry picks for 2010 as our staff counts you down to the must reads of next year!

Once your cropping tracker has been setup for a season, you can then head in and begin building a budget for each of your crop types.
Building a budget
You can either build a budget from the main page of your cropping tracker using the Add transaction button, or (we recommend) you head into Crop season detail and build it from there.
Once inside your crop season detail, you'll need to set your area as well as the expected sale price. This will flow through to your KPIs in your cropping tracker.
If you have fields or paddocks that you wish to associate with a crop, you can add this information in to your crop season detail. If you haven't setup the fields on Figured already - we'll take you through those steps.
The final piece you can configure is the Production completion date which is the date you expect to have everything harvested and sold.
After the season details have been set, you can then add in budget production, direct costs, and sales (or decreases).
Adding production (harvests)
Adding direct costs
Adding sales
To switch the sales to be per unit or total, use the dropdown on the right hand side of the sales window.
Adding contracts
If you have contracts associated with the sales of your crops, you can add these into your crop season detail - just like you would a sale - and you can opt to lock in the quantity of crop you'll provide and / or the future price of the crop.
All of this information then flows through to KPIs displayed on the main cropping dashboard and the crop season detail itself. For contracts, these flow through to your crop marketing report.
Build and adjust your cropping tracker forecasts
With your budget confirmed and approved in the planning tab, you can then instantly build out your forecasts by copying these from your budget.
After your forecasts have been copied in, you can then make any adjustments to the forecasts by heading into crop season detail and changing the date selector to actuals + forecasts.
Adding detailed transaction
If you need to add more detailed transactions into your cropping trackers, such as recording you're using a harvested crop type for feed, you would do this on the main cropping dashboard.

I haven't got an order to my bucket list. There are thing that I want to do and have wanted to for years but I've never wanted to put them in order. If I did then I would start to feel that I had to do them in that order and that leads to stress which I can't really be bothered with.
One thing that's been on the list for over a year is to do a gig with power metal band Draegon. I joined the band just over a year ago and since that time we've been working on the up coming concept album. I joined by applying to an ad they'd placed looking for a keyboard player and I got the job with the most unusual email I'd ever written. The gist of it told them who I was and listed my experience – as a saxophonist. I quite honestly said that I'd never played their style of music but enjoyed listening to it and that I'd not played piano outside of a university recital. This is clearly not the way to apply for a position, but it worked and I was instantly teleported from a Steinway Grand to a triple stack of Yamaha and Korg's.
I loved it. A part of me will always enjoy Mozart and Debussy but to apply those techniques to the wall of sound produced by the Yamaha alone is simply amazing. It also brought a dimension to their music that was unexpected.
Now the entire band is itching to get back out and play live. So with luck I'll be getting this ticked off my bucket list by the end of the year.

Release 13/07/2018
PC version tested
Review code provided
Earthfall makes a good first impression and shows a lot of promise for the future. It becomes apparent early on that it is very much like the Left 4 Dead series. The game plays from the first-person point of view but instead of fighting off the Zombie Hoard you must do everything you can to survive in the aftermath of Earth being hit by an alien invasion.
The game mechanic essentially replicates what Left 4 Dead did so well, you play as one of four characters working cooperatively as part of a team. Each character has their own personality and skillset with the objective of reclaiming Earth. Earthfall doesn't really come into its own as a single player event but where it does excel is in its multiplayer. Unfortunately, the single-player mode is hampered by dumb AI that doesn't help towards any of the mission objectives and constantly ends up dying. The game really begins to open up with friends and I think this is where it would be a much better gaming experience. Sadly I have only been able to play the multiplayer game briefly as I am waiting for my friends to pick up the game. Of what I have played so far it is good fun but the random people I ended up being matched with didn't tend to use their microphones. This really hampered our progress and made the game that little bit harder to enjoy.
I ended up playing Earthfall quite a lot in single player despite it being let down by the shoddy AI. The overall game design is solid, it looks nice and the weapons feel heavy when you need them to be. The enemies aren't as varied as we have come to expect with other titles that are of a similar ilk such as Left 4 Dead, which I have spent many hours on but having said that it is fun none the less. Earthfall doesn't offer an overarching storyline to help keep you playing through the game. It ends up with you simply killing endless waves of aliens in a bid to progress. I played using the pad which acts as a mouse on the home screen, its a weird setup and took a while to get used to.
On the whole, Earthfall is a very good shooter. Where it loses points is that in my mind I keep comparing it to Left 4 Dead which always left me wanting to go back after I had stopped playing. The game is fun for a few hours on your own but I know it will open up in multiplayer as this is where I think it will really shine.
Final Words:
Overall I would give Earthfall a 7 of 10 rating. With some little tweaks here and there and the mix of some people, I know, owning the game it will make for a great party game.

July 8 is National Milk Chocolate with Almonds DayJuly 8, 2015 at 5:03 AM | Posted in Uncategorized | 1 Comment

National Milk Chocolate with Almonds Day
Five Food Finds about Almonds
- The protein in almonds is more like the proteins in human breast milk of all the seeds and nuts, which is why it is the choice of the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine as the base for its baby formula.
- Almonds are the most nutrient-dense tree nut. One ounce of almonds (20-25 almonds) contains 160 calories and only 1 gram of saturated fat and no cholesterol. Almonds are also an excellent source of vitamin E and magnesium, and a good source of protein and potassium.
- The Jordan almond is a large plump variety of almond from Malaga, Spain, considered to be the finest cultivated almond. The are frequently sold with a hard colored sugar coating, or salted.
- It takes 1000 pounds of almonds to make 1 pint of almond oil.

Hi Ellie,
I saw a Chase bloopers show on TV at Christmas - Brad makes me laugh so much - trouble is that if I laugh too much it can sometimes make me gasp for breath, so I have to make sure that I don't get too over-excited LOL!
Loved Brad in the new Dr Who - so sad that we are going to have to wait for such a long time for the new series
Havn't watched Paxo on UC yet this year- don't you think that there is a certain attractive moodiness about him? LOL
Did you see 'Who wants to be a millionaire?' on TV last week - one of the questions was: what is the name of the female friend on 'car share' - of course I wouldn't have known the answer, if you hadn't mentioned that TV prog when you kindly welcomed me to the forum!
I hope you are settling in to your new home. Must be wonderful to be in the countryside, where it is picturesque and peaceful
Love and best wishes to you and your family,
Kayleigh x

So now we know your Guilty Crush is Paxo
Stunningly beautiful here today. I am very lucky to have found this house, lovely countryside but 5 mins drive to shops, pharmacy etc and 5 mins to motorway for school and work.

Yes Ellie - Admittedly, he is one of many!!
Peace and beautiful countryside but also shops close by - sounds like the perfect location to me! I expect you are looking forward to the beauty of Springtime as well- I definitely am because apart from a few birds visiting the feeder, my garden looks rather boring in Winter ... roll on Spring!

This made me really smile because I knew the answer to the car share "Kayleigh " question on Who wants to be a millionaire? My family wanted to know how I knew but I didn't say I had read it on here.
Not sure about Jeremy Paxo though Kayleigh as a crush.... I might need to have another look at him.
Eliie. So glad you're enjoying your new home. It will be lovely in the spring.
Love Debbie x
Hey Deb - stop eyeing-up Paxo, he's mine!!! LOL
If you are interested in a Jeremy "crush", there is always that one who presents "Who wants to be a Millionaire" - no where near as dashing as Paxo though! LOL
P.S That Kayleigh looks nothing like me - I am far more attractive and have far fewer wrinkles ha,ha (but I might have do something about all those kitty whiskers!!!)

I hail from a large family in Tucson, Arizona and let me tell you…I am no stranger to the chaos of living a full and active life. In 2002 I took a leap of faith and relocated to Los Angeles in pursuit of my purpose and passion. I pursued a career in telecommunications, fueled by a passion for helping others achieve their full potential. In time I was led to my true purpose…helping people discover their own inner organizing genius. In 2004 I launched Simplified Spaces, a professional organization firm and had finally found my happy place, bringing healing and empowerment to others!
I spent ten years building a life and my business in Los Angeles and then set off on a new adventure in the Bay Area, which eventually led me to my current home in beautiful Carmel, CA. Simplified Spaces was renamed Reveal in celebration of my favorite part of organizing makeovers…seeing people's joyous reactions to their home being revealed post transformation!
Reveal is a company I created to help you start living the life you deserve! My multi layered approach is that of mind, body, spirit, and space; combining organizing techniques with self care, playfulness, education, lifestyle modification and a positive mindset. I have been fortunate enough to be a featured expert on OWN, STYLE, TLC, A&E, HGTV, and TYRA.
My passion leads me to frequently travel around the country providing organizing solutions to people, businesses, and organizations. When I'm not helping others achieve their goals and dreams, I can be found thoroughly enjoying the breathtaking ocean views that the Central Coast offers, as well as hiking, painting, swimming, dancing, meditating, making homemade ice cream, and spending quality time with friends and loved ones. Life truly is a gift and I am honored to help you live yours to the absolute fullest!
