Sunday, 17 July 2016, saw the start of a story that captured the imagination of Namibia's (and the world's) animal lovers and those who feel that the abuse of those unable to defend themselves is an abhorrent act. It was the start of the story of Hope.
An anti-poaching unit that does regular patrols in the Windhoek area, heard pain-filled screams on the Sunday afternoon in question and immediately investigated. Finding a baboon tied to a tree by her neck, members of the anti-poaching unit cut her free and rushed her to the anctuary where Marlice took over, estimating her age to be between 5 and 6 years.
A thorough medical examination revealed the shocking extent and duration of the abuse – broken feet, burnt hindquarters which had caused her toes to melt together, a broken left hand, bite and burn wounds on her head and face, to name a few – and the state of the injuries indicating that the abuse had been inflicted over many months.
The physical trauma was greatly compounded by the emotional stress the hapless baboon was forced to endure.
Completely withdrawn, only copious amounts of love, soothing chatter and tempting food treats started bringing the glow of life back to an animal on the verge of abandoning the will to live. Her sheer tenacity, combined with the care she received from the sanctuary team, inspired us to name her Hope.
Hope was certainly a fighter! Her wounds made a remarkable recovery, and her appetite ensured that her undernourished frame gained weight each day.
Placed in an enclosure bordering that of a troop of fellow sanctuary baboons, Hope's progress became even more remarkable. An automatic bond formed between the primates, and gradually Hope started to join the youngster baboon troop on their daily walks on the reserve. She soon opted not to return to the enclosure but embrace freedom instead, resident wild baboons on the reserve accepting her into their midst and allowing her to become a part of the troop.
There she remained, regular sightings reassuring the team of her continued wellbeing and safety. The "happily ever after" was reinforced when our staff spotted Hope in April, proudly carrying her baby – the final chapter in her complete acceptance back into the wild where she rightly belongs and signifying her ultimate conquering of a tortured past.
And we will always be inspired by the lesson she inadvertently taught us – never give up hope!

Legal cases with fixed pricing, standardized processes, and firm timelines
Hassle free government services at affordable prices
With growing competition amongst airlines to attract more passengers by adding more air services or giving discounts/deals/miles, the whole aviation industry is witnessing huge air traffic in the last 3 years. The factors behind the increase of aircraft movements and passengers in these years is the rise in FDI, better developments in the sectors, collaboration between foreign banks/companies with airlines etc. The advancement in the sector has shown a promising future for aviation industry but on the other hand has raised safety concerns for the consumers.
Flight Disruptions
Denied boarding or delayed boarding without due notice to the passengers
Abrupt flight cancellations in ordinary circumstances
Flight cancellation or delays due to extra-ordinary circumstances
The regulations pertaining to civil aviation standards, air safety or to ensure consumer safety and privileges in aforementioned cases are issued and enforced by Directorate General of Civil Aviation. It is also involved in co-coordinating relating regulatory functions & actions with International Civil Aviation Organization. According to the guidelines issued by Directorate General of Civil Aviation dated 15.8.2010, all the airlines have to provide specified facilities to the passengers in case there is denied boarding, cancellation of flights or delays in flights without prior notice to the passengers except under specified extra-ordinary circumstances.
The objective of the guidelines is to provide apposite protection to air travelers in such circumstances and to build cordial relations between the passenger & the service providers.
Let's take a look at the common facilities to be provided to the consumer at the time of cancellation or delays:-
Meals/refreshments, without any charge, in relation to their waiting time.
Hotel accommodation including transfers whenever it is genuinely necessary.
Compensation/ refund of ticket or both – depending on case to case basis or for genuine fault on the part of airline.
Reasons leading to denied boarding
Confirmed booking or issuance of flight tickets is in excess of the seats available in the flight
Denied boarding against the will of the consumer
2. Requisite & legitimate course of action
Request to passengers to voluntarily give up their seats in lieu of certain benefits/facilities as offered by airline at its own discretion
The airline must ensure that airport is equipped with dedicated check-in facilities/gate areas to allow feasible & safe offers to the passengers.
In case the boarding is denied against the will of booked traveler, the airline has to compensate in addition to refund of ticket as per the provisions of the prescribed Regulations.
The airlines should make all the requisite efforts to regularly inform the passengers about the flight cancellation as far in advance as possible from the scheduled departure time on his/her given particulars or in any other reasonable way i.e. fax/e-mail/sms/tele-contact. If they are not informed about cancellation in minimal three hours in advance from the scheduled time of their flight, then Airlines must provide:-
Compensation for inconvenience caused;
Refund of tickets if they don't wish to travel by another carrier's flight/alternate flight;
Alternate travel opportunities at no extra cost;
Aforementioned facilities at the Airport.
Passengers are denied of the right to have compensation if:
They don't agree to accept alternate travel arrangements offered by the airline.
If cancellations are occurred due to extra-ordinary circumstances and the airlines has taken all the relevant measures as the prescribed regulations.
As per the defined Regulations, the airline will offer specified facilities if flight is delayed in following circumstances:-
2 hours or more if the block time of the flight is upto 2½ hours; or
3 hours or more if the block time of the flight is more than 2½ hours upto 5 hours; or
4 hours or more if the block time of the flight is not falling in a) or b) above.
If reasonably expected time of departure is in excess of 24 hours from the scheduled departure time, then airline should provide facility to the passengers as per the mentioned provisions of regulations.
Passengers are denied of the right to such facilities if:
Delay is due to the occurrence of extra-ordinary circumstances.
Airline can prove that information of delay has been provided in advance to the passenger.
What are extra-ordinary circumstances?
Extra-ordinary circumstances are events which are beyond the control of operating airline and are consequently leading to delays or cancellation of flights. The list of events include:-
Political instability in the state/nation
Natural disaster(s) i.e. flood, tsunami, cyclone, storm
Civil war
Riots or insurrection
Bomb or any other explosion
Any government order/rule affecting the aircraft/airline
Strikes/labor disputes resulting in cessation
Interruption in work due to inevitable factors and are not in the control of airlines
It also includes the following:-
Air Traffic Control
Meteorological conditions
Security risks or any other factors beyond the control of airlines and affect the ability to flight operations on schedule.
Consumer Rights relating to compensation
If amount of ticket amount is higher than compensation amount, then following shall be given to the passenger:-
2000/- or ticket cost whichever is lower if block up time of flights is upto or equal to 1 hour;
3000/- or ticket cost whichever is lower if block up time of flights is more than 1 hour and upto & equal to 2 hours;
4000/- or ticket cost whichever is lower if block up time of flights is more than 2 hours;
If ticket cost is lower than compensation amount then it will be equal to the cost of the ticket.
The passengers shall be provided options to choose from the same. The options include:-
Refund of Air-Ticket at purchase price
A flight to first point of departure
Alternate transportation under similar or alternate mode of transport to the final destination (whenever it is applicable)
Alternate transportation under similar or alternate mode of transport to the final destination (whenever it is applicable) at a later date at passenger's convenience, subject to seat availability
The selected option will be considered final and is not alterable.
Tickets paid by credit cards will be refunded within 7 days from the date of cancellation to the account of credit-card holder.
Tickets paid by cash will be immediately refunded by the airline offices from where the ticket has been bought.
Tickets purchased via travel agents, the refund arrangements will be mutually finalized by the passenger & travel agent.
Airlines will also refund the PSF as collected by the passenger on cancellation or non-utilization of tickets.
The refund also include refund of extra charges which are over and above the basic fare of the ticket, for instance, congestion charge, fuel surcharge etc.
This holistic guide gives a glimpse to basic consumer rights with regard to airline liabilities in case of delays, cancellations or denied boarding. It is important to be aware of our rights, read the terms & conditions listed in the air-ticket and ensure to have a safe & happy flight.

All Your Flaws with Piggy Tails, Parenting: The Sober Side Part II
(for the intro to this series of blog posts, see the post on Oct 26th "Do you Respect Your Kids?")
It's just the ugly truth of parenting — we pass along our habits to our kids. The best ones and the worst ones. 'Course as we watch our kids interact in the world, it's usually the worst habits of ours that we notice gaping at us from the personal chasm that is our child.
One of the things I noticed early on was how much time my kid spent "on the phone." She would take a plastic brick or a banana or anything that could remotely resemble a cell phone, hold it up to her little face and jabber and jabber into it. When I'd interupt her to ask if she wanted something to eat, she'd hold up her little finger to me and say, "Excu me, I'm onna phone, Mama." Mental note at the time: "Spend less time on the phone around the kid."
I'm not saying anything new. Kids pick up our habits, tone of voice, figures of speech, etc. Kids are little mimics. They literally synthesize the world around them and then interact with the world using that information. So, the kid who is bullied at home, bullies on the playground (sometimes). The kid who is coddled at home, coddles in the classroom (sometimes). This is not my main point.
My main point is how difficult it is to see our worst habits shoved in our faces by these little beings who are supposed to be the object of our unending love. My little guy was (is) stubborn. Her being stubborn was a pain in the ass. Knowing that she GOT that stubborn streak from ME was the actual torture. What could I have done to mitigate her attainment of that particular personality tic of mine? Change my whole personality overnight the moment she was born? No. Obviously not.
So, the alternative was to get nice and comfortable with seeing my faults personified in my daughter's behavior. My condescending tone. My irrascible attitude. My inability to share. My bossiness. My obsessiveness with technicalities. My sedentary nature. Glass half full? Sure, some of these traits turned on their head make for great creativity or productivity. But that's not what I saw, what I saw was how I fall short as a human being and that experience was grueling.
Dr. Phil, Oprah, Dr. Oz, Ellen, Dr. Laura, Maury, whomever — none of these people talk about this aspect of raising a child. How each and every insecurity we carry as people is magnified and thrown in our face by the child's behavior. By the child's very existence. No wonder parents get so fucking pissed off at their kids, right? I mean, I understand it. Who wants to be reminded that they have a bad attitude for six hours straight? If I didn't have that voice in my head whispering, "She's only doing you. She's only doing you." I would have gotten royally pissed off at her.
But, fortunately, I did have that voice in my head. Where did it come from? Probably the same place I got the idea that my kid is a separate, independent entity from me. (No, not completely independent, but independent in her mind, in her thinking, in her way of seeing.) Now maybe those two statements seem contradictory — how she's independent, but she's a walking-talking tiny version of me. Well, they're not contradictory. Yes, I influenced her behavior greatly. But she made that behavior her own. She could only do that if she were separate from me. Otherwise, she'd have been a robot. And she was definitely not that.
I wish more parents would look to the source of their child's irksome behavior before piling on the punishing remarks and actions. With a little humility, it's easy to say, 'Hey, I know you've seen me do that, let's talk about it." — This would be a more nuanced version of "Do as I say, not as I do," which, as we all know, doesn't work.

Fashion Elite Support Gay Marriage

Although it may not be a big surprise with the fashion world being as open minded and progressive as it is, it looks like the top influencers in the fashion world are joining in on the support for gay marriage. From Marc Jacobs (who is unapologetic about being"out" himself) has done a number of things in support the support of gay marriage including campaigns directed to the gay market, all the way to teaming up with the HRC (Human Rights Campaign) for a window display at the Marc by Marc Jacobs boutique in NYC's West Village, featuring a Spring wedding scene with two female mannequins at an alter. Kenneth Cole is lending his efforts also by creating a special T-shirt for the HRC with the slogan "Take your lover up the aisle — Support Marriage Equality."
"As far as I'm concerned, having the right to say 'I do' is as fundamental as the right to vote," ~Anna Wintour
These two are a part of a large movement in the fashion world using their influence to impact change including, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Julianna Margulies, Mario Batali, Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, Russell Simmons, Joan Rivers, Julianne Moore and even Barbara Bush! The most recent soldier on board is the empress of fashion herself Anna Wintour. She is participating in the HRC's campaign "New Yorkers for Marriage Equality", by recording a video showing her support. Watch the video of Anna here.

'From exultant motorik to giddy Depeche Mode-like synth pop to the macabre 'Talk', The Shape of Things is consistently absorbing, as good as any of Foxx's early-80s benchmarks.' 4/5 Mojo
'He has never seemed so relevant, nor sounded so modern, as he does in 2012. Foxx's best album since Metamatic. These ancient gizmos sound as much like the future as they did in 1980, and so does the fantastic Mr Foxx.' BBC.co.uk
'This is a record of utopias and dystopias, perfect synth pop. It's also an entirely human record though: the common theme that emerges is one of corrupted memories: failed relationships are visualised as futures that never came, while even the most robotic of tunes feature traces of blue skies and ocean.' 5/5 Artrocker (ALBUM OF THE MONTH)
'The Shape Of Things is an absolute triumph.' 4/5 FACT magazine
'Foxx has rediscovered his musical touch. This sequel to 2011′s Interplay again taps a renewed interest in minimal wave's glacial harmonies and pattering beats, though on haunted elegies such as 'Rear-View Mirror' and 'September Town', with their sonorous vocals and JG Ballard-esque vision of decaying modernity, it's the man who triumphs over the machines.' 3/5 Q Magazine
'Sharply observational but with a soft centre that makes it a moving experience. With such an intense creative zeal at the moment, John Foxx is continuing from strength to strength.' 5/5 DMC World
'A retro-futurist show of bubbling electronics and dolorous laments.' 7/10 Uncut
'There's an aroma of Bowie's seminal Low here, especially on 'Unrecognised' which comes fuelled by techno bubbles, striking synth lines and a mournful vocal invoking loss. Another great LP from Foxx.' 4/5 Record Collector
'By the power of JG Ballard's Roland Juno standing under an autobahn flyover in Berlin in 1973 in the cold war rain wearing a fedora – it's a new John Foxx album! Having gone through 360 degree electro rehabilitation recently – with the help of East London analogue synthesizer archivist Ben 'Benge' Edwards – Foxx has not only rescued himself from being a footnote of 80s night nostalgia but has re-established himself as a synth pop artist of note and proto hauntologist. More introspective but no less gripping than last year's great Interplay.' 8/10 Vice Magazine
'An electro corker. This is an album packed with proper tunes as well as atmosphere. Foxx's vocals might sound as detached as ever, but he also demonstrates an ear for an infectious melody on 'Tides' and the elegant 'Vapour Trails', which catch him slotting neatly into a gap between Gary Numan and David Sylvian. Electronic music, currently enjoying another resurgence, owes him a considerable debt but it also feels eerily like an album very much about the now rather than an album about the past.' 3/5 The Arts Desk
'The electronic pioneer shows how it's done. Foxx's talent for melody and lyrics hasn't left him, and songs like the almost folky 'September Town' and the stuttering waltz 'The Shadow Of His Former Self' are in a direct line from 'Europe After The Rain' and 'The Quiet Men.' Anyone tempted by recent electronic music and who wants to see it done by one of its originators would be well advised to nip by here.' 7/10 Classic Rock
"Foxx's fascination with the dark underbelly of urban existence remains unabated here. Whack this round your jugs on a midnight trip to London's Soho and there'll be little requirement for your inquisitive side to imagine what lurks beyond the sordid stairways or afterhours drinking establishments, as Foxx is more than willing to take you inside, upstairs and down the back alleys.' 8/10 Barcode
'Foxx is a man whose creative touch paper has been well and truly lit in
the last two years. The Shape Of Things is an incredibly assured piece of work,
machine-like in its execution but revealing a soulful, tender exterior that we do
not often seen from the former Ultravox man. It suits him well – and on this
evidence further rewards will soon follow.' 4/5 Musicomh. com
'The Shape Of Things is full of emotion, intensity and avant-garde twists.' 8/10 Hi-Fi Choice

It is a great headlamp ideal for hikers, campers, and also runners. ... accessory which provides bright red light essential for camping, reading, running, hunting, and even walking. ... top list
FenixLight Limited came about when a group of young men passionate about high quality illumination tools, grew increasingly dissatisfied with the number of mediocre flashlights on the market; which they felt often featured substandard construction and poor attention to detail. These men then set out to make world-class lighting tools, and began by organizing a group of professional engineers to head what would become FenixLight Limited's machining, electronics, and design departments. Fast forward to today, where Fenix activates the latest potential of LED technology in flashlights, headlamps and bike lights. These easy to use flashlights with multiple modes allow you to get the most from your batteries while simple controls make it easy to switch from one mode to the other. Rigorous ANSI testing standards and a Limited Lifetime Guarantee mean reliability and lasting value in every model offered. *Limited Lifetime Guarantee supported by Fenix Lighting US and cannot be guaranteed to Amazon partners.
REACTIVE LIGHTING technology now upgrades the TIKKA, the standard in compact headlamps. Light output and beam pattern instantly adjust to the environment. Light output is optimized to ensure the chosen burn time. The wide, mixed or focused beam gives lighting that can be adapted to any situation, from close-range to distance vision (from 7 to 215 lumens, from 2 to 110 meters). The rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery with USB connection is suitable for frequent use. Two independent switches simplify usage: One for lighting mode (REACTIVE LIGHTING or CONSTANT LIGHTING), the other to choose between the three lighting levels; Lock function to avoid accidentally turning it on during transit or storage. Comfortable headband is easy to adjust. Two-part construction at the back of the head for excellent support during dynamic activities. Customized burn time with OS by Petzl software, free for download at www.petzl.com/OS. Battery compatibility: alkaline, lithium and Ni-MH, with the battery case (not included)

Two buttons means less "cycling" through the modes to get to the mode you need. Impact and water resistant, this light is great for outdoor activities. Combine that with the 80m beam distance and you'll see why this is our best headlamp yet.

I have a hunting group in my Montana neighbourhood and we're always looking for 'game'. Part of what makes our hunting expeditions fun and successful is the effective gear that we carry along with us. When I first got this LED head lamp from a group member, Josh, I was impressed. I went ahead to purchase one for myself and so did everyone else.
We all are in love with its illuminating power and the fact that you can easily adjust it to get different degrees of strength. I love this product and will be using it for as long as it serves my purpose.

I'm an automotive technician and I needed a headlight to to help light up areas of a car that flashlights/underhoolights are too big and too bulky to get to, or for when I need to use both hands (i.e. performing soldering/vehicle wire repair). Several of my coworkers have been adamant about name brand headlamps (namely, coastal and led lenser). Everyone was surprised with the quality of this headlamp, and even more amazed by the price of it! It's zoomable, has two different brightness modes, and even a strobe mode. The box doesn't come with instructions, but it's pretty easy to figure out. Upon opening the package, you must insert the batteries into the battery pack (admittedly, the battery pack is fairly large, as are the batteries, but it didn't bother me at all). The pack opens by releasing 3 locking tabs. There's a charger port built into it that's covered by a rubber tab when not in use. After fully charging the batteries, I used the headlamp on a mixture of full power/low power for around 6 hours while resealing a transfer case on a 4wd Highlander over a period of 2 days. The charger has a built in LED to let you know the status of the batteries (red is charging, green is fully charged). Several of my coworkers are now looking into purchasing this headlamp.
It's the number one rule of boy scouting, and that's be prepared. It's why the sensible person always has a flashlight within reach. Sometimes that utility isn't always the perfect solution. There are circumstances where you need a flexible light, but you also need your hands to be free.

Villa R is an exclusive private residency for artists, one of the first international point of reference for contemporary art in the city of Messina, Sicily.
It was designed in 1990 by the two owners, Iolanda Vacalebre and Nicola Rustica, whom have over the years used the villa for artistic and musical productions, organizing several evenings with poetry, performance and other creative activities.
Since April 2013, Iolanda and Nicola decided to offer most of the spaces of the villa for intercultural and interdisciplinary exchange with professionals (both foreign and Italian). These activities aim especially to the creation of new projects and artworks in a stimulating environment, in contact with other artists and with nature.
This is an exclusive opportunity to develop new ideas in a wide, beautiful and meditative location, far from the distracting vibes of the big city. The residence has wide space for artistic production of any size and media.
Villa R offers a great view on the sea, valley and Eolie Islands. Artists have the possibility to work both in a light atelier of 80 square meters, with big windows, or outside with a space of about 2000 square meters, directly in contact with the earth, without limits of dimentions and media of work.
There is space to accomodate all artists in comfortable and spacious rooms (single or double). The distance from the villa to a very popular seaside is about 4km .The villa is on accessible distance from touristic destinations such as Milazzo, Taormina, Etna volcano and direct transports to Eolie Islands.
Villa R Team:
– Giuditta R: Director of Villa R residency program. International visual artist based in Berlin www.giuditta-r.com
– Iolanda Vacalebre: sculptor, professor at the Fine Art Academy in Reggio Calabria; Lead singer of the ethno-world music band Isola www.isolamusic.it.
– Nicola Rustica: visual artist, painter and musician (guitarist) of the band Isola.

"Don't forget to have Francesco water while I am gone", Martha said, as she was about to leave for the States. " The new nursery is great, all organic. I look forward to great organic minestrone on my return.' " No problem," I reassured her. After giving Francesco the order, I myself had to leave to attend a convention.
Upon my return, before putting down my bags, I heard Francesco swearing at the funny looking veggies that were popping colorful heads out of the earth. "Do you eat these things in America?" he asked while looking down at a beautiful assortment of colorful spring flowers in a bed of blooming lavander. The colorful flowers were organic, but unfortunately no veggies in sight being that the new nursery confused vegetable seeds with spring flowers. "Oh, Americani,"was Francesco's usual response as he ranted and raved about Americans that eat flowers instead of real food.
That afternoon as I was working in my office, I heard a shotgun blast. Looking out the office window caught Francesco holding a dead bird. Questioning what it was, he responded we would have pheasant for dinner and had to add, " better than eating flowers".

Wizkid's journey to fame and stardom could not have started without EME records, EME records is a record label owned by Mr. Bankole Wellington popularly known as Banky W , who gave him the platform to Fame when others didn't. Banky W played a very crucial role in Wizkid's career, including the release of his first Hit single,"Holla At Your Boy" and the release of his first album "Superstar".
After been with EME for a while, Wizkid thought it was time to quit EME record label and started his own record label "Starboy", which he eventually did after them release of his second album "Ayo" under EME.
Wizkid's Exit was a move that had a massive effect on the record label as they have not been considered a top or major record label strong enough to compete with other labels in the Industry.
So we would definitely love your opinion on this, Do You Think Wizkid's Exit Was The End Of EME ?.
Share your thought and opinion in the comment section below.
Lmaooo see question…wizkid was eme
absolutely……the cash were not coming in through shaydee and the other artistes they signed.so financially,musically it ended them
I tire oh…..he made them lasted for some years……banky could not do it alone
same mistake the Nigerian labels are making, wizkid is not the first and won't be the last. still observing how Eric Many and Runtown will end up. the real question is "Are our Record labels truly running a record label?".
A Record label in Nigeria is like a yahoo boy with just one client. Once that client jaaapa, na gobe be that.
Wizkid really shut EME down by leaving this label, cause there's no one that can wear his shoe. And after wizkid leave everyone knows that sales also leave… I think that's the end of EME… but I can still bring it back and meet up with wizkid and davido…. if EME can come back to air and sign me…. I promise tooxclusive and the world that….
Eme should come to north and sign gud row talent
Lol, did you say skales
is like asking whether Davido's departure was the end of hkn
No Skales departure ended EME.
No Skales departure ended EME. If Skales was at EME, at least EME would still be the talk in town.
wizkid is not the end…game just change
Not at all….. Eme was there before wizkid came so ……
Not really and it also goes down to how the management could handle things like this.for instance marvins Record.if some big artist leave the label some of the others we also come to limelight.
Not really and it also go down to how the management could handle things like this.for instance marvins.
we all know wizkid is EME,dat guy called skales is just back up and dat expose wen he left.
wizkid or no wizkid, the time for eme has passed even if wizkid was still there maybe he could still be messing up with the same pattern of song, the best thing for eme is to run a talent hunt program to fish out good upcoming star…
Going thru without a biased mind, it's quite easy 2 assume dat WizKid's departure ended EME for obvious reasons. Largely bcos after he exited, that basically was how EME began 2 depreciate in value in different ways. e.g no any other artiste within d confines of d label was able 2 do half of wht Wizzy did consistently for yrs so one won't b far from d truth if they say dat his departure completely ended EME.

There are many good qualities to sleeping. It's peaceful. It's a stress reliever. You get to dream and those are always fun. Except for nightmares. Well, dreams are usually fun. Oh, and if you don't do it or don't do it enough, you die. So, there's that… At least it's easy to illustrate sleep, the classic string of "Zzz's" flowing from the sleeper.

By John Rodeberg, SEH
The City of Brownton originally proposed to establish a municipal natural gas utility and construct a natural gas system in 2002 when the Hutchinson Utilities Commission (HUC) constructed a trunk transmission line from Trimont to Hutchinson, which passed about 5 miles west of the community.
The city already ran a successful municipal electric utility, and a previous study noted the feasibility of establishing the municipal natural gas utility in the City of Brownton. However, the effort was concluded in 2004 when the vote to proceed with development of the municipal gas system and related funding were not approved at the required election.
Although the establishment of the utility was determined to be beneficial to the community, many in the community were concerned about the total cost of the project and the volatility of natural gas prices. Despite the frustrations of city elected officials and staff, they remained determined to reconsider establishing a municipal natural gas utility in the future.
The project was again considered in 2012 after construction of a natural gas transmission line from the Hutchinson Utility pipeline near Stewart to the new United Farmer's Cooperative (UFC) grain facility constructed on the edge of the city in the northwest corner of TH 15 and the TC&W railroad.
Based on the potential significant reduction in the capital construction costs combined with the stability of natural gas prices, it was determined by the City Council that further review was needed. The city discussed opportunities and alternatives with both UFC and the HUC.
After reviewing alternatives and options, the city chose to consider again pursuing the establishment of a municipal gas utility, based partially on the strong recommendation from HUC.
The city engaged SEH to review the alternatives and options, and confirm whether or not the establishment of a municipal natural gas utility should again be pursued. SEH partnered with USDI and Dave Berg Consulting to complete the review and pre-design of the system.
Based on this review, it was recommended that the City of Brownton pursue establishment of a natural gas utility based on the following reasons:
A plan was developed that included an extensive public education campaign to make sure that the public had clear and detailed information about the benefits of having a Municipal Natural Gas System. Several flyers were developed and distributed, as well as several well-advertised public meetings that outlined in detail the expected cost savings, and safety and operational benefits, of a natural gas system. (See video below.)
Understanding that many city residents were concerned about the up-front costs of conversion, they also brought in The Center for Energy and the Environment of Minneapolis as a resource for private property owners to obtain loans and grants related to energy savings. The programs they operate covered energy savings related to efficient lighting systems, energy efficient appliances, window replacement, added insulation, and other items.
Meetings were also held with local HVAC contractors to make sure that they knew the details of the proposed system so they could provide a consistent picture to the public of how the conversion process would work, and also knew of the time schedule so that they could coordinate their conversion work and reduce their cost by being more efficient.
Results and successes:
The city and SEH utilized a close partnership of a very diverse group of professionals to create a team that was greater than its individual parts. Thanks go out to HUC, the Center for Energy and the Environment, UFC, Dave Berg Consulting, USDI, and Michels Pipeline for their involvement and support.

Herzogenaurach, Germany, October 25, 2011
Highlights Third Quarter 2011
Consolidated sales increased by 10.2% currency adjusted to € 841.6 million
Gross profit margin remained at 50.0% despite volatile input prices
EBIT improved by 1,8% to € 118.6 million
Net earnings remained flat at € 81.7 million
EPS are up to € 5.45 from € 5.43
PUMA has signed football stars Agüero, Falcao and Fàbregas
Highlights First Nine Months of 2011
Consolidated sales climbed 11.0% currency adjusted to € 2.3 billion
Gross profit margin remained at a sector-best 50.6%
EBIT rose by 2.2% to € 285.0 million
Net earnings improved by 4.7% to € 197.1 million
EPS increased from € 12.51 to € 13.15
Outlook for the remainder of the Financial Year 2011
PUMA's management reiterates that PUMA's target is € 3 billion in sales for the full year.
In light of PUMA's "Back on the Attack" growth strategy, investments and expenses will remain at a high level, and gross profit margins will continue to be stressed based on procurement price volatilities.
Management continues to foresee an improvement of net earnings in mid single-digits for the full year.
"PUMA posted a very solid sales performance for the fifth consecutive quarter," said Franz Koch, CEO of PUMA SE."This underpins our 5-year growth strategy, which is already delivering results. After a strong performance in the first nine months of this year, we are now approaching our sales target of € 3 billion for the full year, and despite continuing cost pressures we maintain our forecast of an improvement in net earnings in mid single-digits."
Asia/Pacific and Latin America drive PUMA's Sales Growth in the Third Quarter – Performance Business accelerating
PUMA's third-quarter consolidated sales rose 10.2% currency adjusted and 7.3% in Euro terms to € 841.6 million compared to last year, representing the most successful quarterly performance in the firm's history. Asia and Latin America provided the platform for these numbers, underpinning the excellent overall result with double-digit growth.
With all product categories contributing to this increase, Footwear rose 7.0% currency adjusted to € 431.1 million, Apparel went up 13.8% to € 294.7 million and Accessories climbed 13.9% to € 115.8 million.
PUMA's Running category in particular grew significantly, boosted by Usain Bolt's spectacular performances at the Track & Field World Championships in Daegu and by the light-weight concept which includes our best selling PUMA Faas range. The shoe is constructed with BioRide Technology which provides runners with a naturally responsive ride. PUMA's Women's Fitness category is growing strongly, a consequence of enhanced targeting of the female consumer demographic with PUMA's Bodytrain concept. PUMA's Sailing category also improved, as sales have been accelerating in the run-up to PUMA's participation in the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012. Given the duration of this sailing marathon and in the light of our new extended range of outdoor products, PUMA expects the positive performance of its Sailing category to continue.
PUMA's five-year growth plan "Back on the Attack" already yielding fruit
As previously detailed, PUMA is continuing to work on improving its performance categories without losing sight of its Sportlifestyle positioning as a brand. This was laid out in the company's growth strategy one year ago, which focused on strengthening PUMA's Sports Performance business alongside its lifestyle segment. To further boost PUMA's brand visibility on international football pitches and underline our position as the No. 3 football brand, PUMA signed three of the world's top football stars during the third quarter: Manchester City's Sergio Agüero, Atletico Madrid's Falcao and FC Barcelona's Cesc Fàbregas.
PUMA also introduced its new football boot, the Powercat 12. These boots will be worn by Fàbregas, Nemanja Vidic of Manchester United and Gianluigi Buffon, goalkeeper of the Italian National Team, amongst others. This innovative boot features the new PUMA 3D DUO Power Shooting Technology, applied to the inside of the boot.
Cobra-PUMA-Golf also continues to perform well, where the 360 degree offering appeals to discerning consumers. PUMA also congratulates its brand ambassador and golf professional Lexi Thompson who, at 16 years of age, has become the youngest ever winner on the LPGA tour in America.
Asia/Pacific and Latin America remain the main growth areas in the quarter
In regional terms, PUMA continued its excellent performance in Asia/Pacific, with sales growing by 16.4% currency-adjusted to € 196.0 million. Light-weight Running gear such as the Faas range and Women's Fitness products (Bodytrain) drove the overall growth in this region.
EMEA also performed well, posting an increase of 9.5% currency adjusted to € 410.6 million. Russia, Turkey, Spain and Germany in particular contributed to this performance.
Sales in the Americas grew by 6.7% currency-adjusted but were down 0.7% in Euro terms at € 235.0 million. Latin America delivered a remarkable top-line performance, reflecting broad-based double-digit growth across all countries in the region, while North America had to comp against strong double-digit growth numbers from the previous year.
Consolidated sales for the nine-month period climbed 11.0% currency adjusted (9.9% in Euro terms) to € 2.29 billion. EMEA sales rose 7.7% (7.6% currency adjusted), the Americas improved a satisfying 8.7% (14.2% currency adjusted) and Asia/Pacific climbed an impressive 16.4% (14.3% currency adjusted).
Nine-month sales across all product categories continued to climb. Footwear sales were up 7.5% (9.5% currency adjusted), Apparel sales increased 8.8% (8.9% currency adjusted) and Accessories grew 22.7% (22.8% currency adjusted), due in part to the full year effect of the Cobra golf acquisition last year.
Gross Profit Margin remains at industry-leading levels despite cost pressure
PUMA's ongoing efficiency drive has resulted in a third quarter gross profit margin of 50.0%, which remains the industry leading number.
The Footwear segment had a gross profit margin of 49.8%, up from 49.7%. Apparel stood at 50.3%, up from 50.0%. Accessories were at 50.0%, a decline from 51.8% which can be attributed to higher procurement costs.
For the first nine months of 2011, gross profit margin is down slightly to 50.6% from 51.0% compared to last year. The Footwear margin is currently at 49.8% down from 50.4%, Apparel down from 51.9% to 50.9% and Accessories up from 51.2% to 52.4%.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses rose by 9.7% to € 307.0 million during the third quarter of 2011. As a percentage of sales, this represents a slight increase from 35.7% to 36.5% compared to last year. For the full year to the end of September 2011, Operating expenses rose by 13.6% to € 885.5 million. Increases in expenditure arose from our continued investments outlined in our 5-year growth plan and the full year effects caused by the extension of the scope of consolidation with Cobra and PUMA Spain now fully included. The majority of those incremental increases went into Marketing, Product Design and enhancements in our supply chain.
Operating profit improved to € 118.6 million from € 116.6 million in line with expectations. This represents 14.1% of consolidated sales versus 14.9% at this time last year. On a nine month basis EBIT was up 2.2% to € 285.0 million.
Financial Result / Income from associated companies
The financial result declined from € -1.4 million to € -2.1 million, however, the nine month number improved from € -4.1 million last year to € -3.9 million.
Earnings before Taxes
PUMA's third quarter EBT rose from € 115.1 million to € 116.6 million. They also rose from € 274.8 million to € 281.1 million on a nine month basis. Quarterly tax expenses increased from € 33.4 million to € 34.9 million and the tax rate increased from 29.0% to 30.0% in the quarter but improved from 31.5% to 30.0% as of September 30, 2011.
Net Earnings
Consolidated net earnings were flat at € 81.7. Earnings per share rose from € 5.43 to € 5.45, and diluted earnings per share were up from € 5.39 to € 5.45.
For the first nine months of 2011, net earnings rose by 4.7% to € 197.1 million. EPS increased by 5.1% to € 13.15.
Net Assets and Financial Position
Total assets(as of September 30, 2011) grew by 4.5% from € 2,319.0 million to € 2,422.5 million. This rise is primarily attributable to an increase in both inventories and trade receivables based on the additional volume in business. The equity ratio rose sharply from 57.8% to 62.9%, signifying further improvement in our capital base. In absolute figures, shareholders' equity increased by 13.7% from € 1,340.2 million to € 1,524.3 million.
Working Capital
PUMA's overall Working Capital went up by 35.0% to € 668.7 million. On the asset side, inventories went up by 18.5% from € 449.2 million to € 532.4 million, supporting our continued and expected sales growth in addition to our new styles and offerings. Trade receivables also increased, up 13.3% from € 538.9 million to € 610.5 million. This again is an effect of our growth in sales compared to this point in time last year.
Cashflow/ Capex
The Free Cashflow (before acquisitions) came in at € -89.4 million versus € 57.9 million last year. The additional outflow resulted from tax payments and higher working capital needed as well as higher CAPEX. For Capex, the company spent € 44.6 million versus € 35.5 million in 2010. The increase derives mainly from investments in the improvement of organizational processes and IT systems as well as in the expansion of our Retail store portfolio, all of which continue to be integral components of our growth strategy.
Cash Position
Total cash (as of September 30, 2011) dropped by 30.7% to € 289.5 million from € 417.9 million last year. Bank debts were reduced by 39.9% from € 57.2 million to € 34.4 million. As a result, the net cash position decreased 29.3%, from € 360.7 million to € 255.1 million.
Share buyback
PUMA did not activate its share buyback program during the third quarter of 2011.
Outlook for the Financial Year 2011
Going into the final quarter of 2011, we reiterate that PUMA's target is €3 billion in sales for the full year. Our overall outlook remains positive despite the current uncertainty afflicting various markets at this time. We anticipate ongoing input cost volatility, although we have demonstrated in the third quarter that our ability to maintain gross profit margins remains undiminished. As previously communicated, our current elevated operating and capital expenditures are an integral part of our growth strategy. None the less, we continue to expect full year net earnings to improve in the mid-single digit range.Photo Credits: Robert Ashcroft/ PUMA

Have you ever had such bad timing, you just had to tell someone about it? Well, Kristen Tuff can definitely relate.
She was driving alone in her car, but didn't expect to get pulled over. Unfortunately, there was a big surprise for the police officer once she rolled down her window.
In the video below, posted on March 1, 2017, Kristen sets up a camera while she's filling up her truck at a gas station and starts telling her story for anyone who wants to listen.
She says, "Today, Aunt Flo came to town," adding, "Well, I needed to, you know, break wind. So, I let her loose.
I'm sitting in here, laughing, boy because it stanks!"
She continues her story and says, "Then, I see blue lights."
A highway patrol officer pulled Kristen over right after she let out her fart and had her roll down her window. Then, everything went south.
In the video, she recalls, "The look on his face!"
Kristen starts cracking up to herself, remembering how her fart made the officer cringe the second he smelled it.
"I've gotten pulled over for a lot of things, but I ain't never had a state trooper go like that when I opened my window," she laughs and imitates the officer's startled reaction.
Check out what happens next in Kristen's story, and please SHARE if her personality made your day today!

Narcissistic individuals are people who have an overblown sense of self-importance, an overwhelming desire for attention and esteem, issues in relationships, and lack the ability to empathize. However, underneath this façade of a highly confident individual reveals a person who has low self-esteem and shatters under even the smallest critique.
Narcissistic abuse comes from the behavior of a narcissist. People in relationships with a narcissist can become taken advantage of victimized by these individuals. Here are some signs to consider when recognizing narcissistic abuse:
Verbal abuse: Many people might describe this as bullying behavior. It can also include constant criticizing, shaming, demeaning, and blaming. This type of abuse often feels as though it was completely unwarranted or as if it came out of nowhere. It can feel very attacking and targeted when it occurs. Verbal abuse of this nature is likely to be more frequent as well.
Manipulation: It can be used to get people to do what they want. Narcissists can also be very good at turning the tables in conversations. They can make things seem different than what they really are. They also use manipulation through gaslighting, making you doubt your own thoughts and beliefs to the point where you are not sure if what happened was real or it is all "in your head."
Competitive: Narcissists want to be at the top level of wherever they are. They can become extremely competitive wanting to "win" at all costs. They will not be afraid to cheat or act unethically if it means they get where they want to be. In regular conversation, they also have the tendency to one-up people to inflate their own sense of self.
Punishing: If you were to go against a narcissist through disagreement or you did not do what they wanted you to do, you might receive a "punishment" from them. They do this through direct threats, ignoring you, withholding love or affection from you, or even spreading lies or rumors about you.
Physical abuse: While physical abuse is not always present, it can be a sign of narcissistic abuse. It can be potentially violent behavior like hitting or pushing you against the wall. It can also come in the form of coercion or intimidation like hovering over you or backing you into a corner where you feel trapped.
Personality disorders and even personality traits in general range on a continuum. Narcissistic personalities are no different. Not every narcissist is going to display all of these signs. Some of these signs in isolation might not be considered abusive. However, the frequency and intensity in which these signs occur can be considered highly abusive. It can be helpful to be aware of these signs as well as the symptoms of narcissistic personality. If you know someone who exhibits the personality of a narcissist, there is a chance they likely display some of the signs listed above.

If you feel you are in an abusive relationship, it is important to know you are not alone. Getting out of an abusive relationship can be extremely difficult. It can be helpful to find someone to talk to who can provide you safety and support.

A lot of worried folk.Children have painted rainbows and putting them in their windows.Need the army now to keep gangs hanging round the streets.The irresponsible lot who panic buy empty shelves are they the ones who still dont listen to advice and stay indoors,they think it's one jolly holiday by flocking to the coast and countryside in droves.
I fear the panic buying is unlikely to stop, as i said in an earlier post we are all part of the problem and the more we see and hear of supermarkets being ransacked the more likely we are to follow suit
Ejector seat?...your jokin!
I dont think it will either
I still cannot believe this is happening. I feel I am going to wake up from a dream.
Not quite the zombie apocalypse but certain very worrying, Piers morgan was really on one this morning when he read about crowds in parks and on beaches as if nothing was going on, so many people ignoring the guidelines given out by the government, he was saying "for pitys sake you are simply being asked to stay at home and watch telly for a few weeks it isn't difficult you are not being sent to war"......so true
Ejector seat?...your jokin!
I saw that I am prepared to abide by the rules as long as it takes,as Boris said we must protect the NHS
What is wrong with our youngsters?
Imagine if the train had of been derailed and caused a major catastrophe..
