Welcome to Wiltshire Good Neighbours — a free service for the older residents of Wiltshire.
So what is Wiltshire Good Neighbours?
As your Good Neighbour Co-ordinator, what can I do?
There are a huge number of organisations and services available to help older people, this in itself can be a significant problem as it is not always easy to identify where best to go for help. By visiting clients in their home and listening to what they have to say about their needs, I can identify which organisations are best suited to deal with each individual client’s situation and we then refer or support a client to access that service. I will always follow up the referrals made to ensure that clients have received the service they needed. I work flexible hours, so can be available at a time that suits clients and their families – including evenings and weekends if necessary.
As Good Neighbour Co-ordinator for this area, I am increasingly aware of the hidden needs among older members of our communities and the incredible support network that is available to them. We all have contact with older members of our villages so please bear “Good Neighbours” in mind and let them know about the service we can offer and encourage them to use what is on offer.
So who runs Wiltshire Good Neighbours?
The Good Neighbour Scheme is a signposting service managed by Community First, a registered charity who seek to strengthen our rural communities. This Scheme is funded by Wiltshire Council.
Please call Mrs Kathy Lucky on 07758 730 783 if you are looking for a local Child-minder. Kathy is the Co-ordinator for Lyneham and Bradenstoke. She can also tell you more about option for pre-school throughout our villages.
From Monday to Friday, week in, week out, a team of volunteers dedicate their time to offer people from your parish a lifeline.
As professionally trained counsellors they support people through times of crisis or major change, offering free counselling sessions that help people face the problems created by issues such as childhood or domestic abuse, long-term or life limiting illness, family dysfunction, relationship breakdown, bereavement and loss, or poor mental health, and help alleviate distress, anxiety, trauma and overwhelm.
One of our clients told us recently, “I had been repeatedly let down, feeling there was nowhere to turn. I am not sure what would have happened to me without your service.” It’s something we hear time and time again because the people we support are not able to access or afford this help themselves because alongside the difficulties they are facing, they are often low waged, unemployed, elderly, disabled, lone parents or in poor physical or mental health.
Unresolved trauma produces wide ranging symptoms such as depression, chronic fatigue, panic attacks, addictive behaviours, chaotic lives and relationships, self-harming, sleeping problems and an inability to handle feelings like rage. Living with any of these behaviours or conditions is not good for them, their families or the community they live in.
The good news is that our results show that with counselling they are able to improve self-confidence and self-esteem and build the resilience to deal with difficult situations. The benefits are clear as they learn to manage their feelings, adapt to change, build strong relationships, participate more fully in family life, return to employment and function more confidently in the workplace and the wider community.
As a community charity based in Trowbridge, we have a team of 10 professional counsellors who volunteer their services free one day a week, enabling us to keep our costs as low as possible and make the project sustainable long-term.
Over the course of a year, each counsellor will deliver a minimum of 150 sessions to people over the age of 16, providing a safe, non-judgemental, confidential environment in which they can explore areas in life that are too painful to talk about with anyone else and start to deal with the impact it is having on them.
Each counsellor costs a total of £3,600 to provide the meeting rooms and facilities for their counselling sessions, admin support, supervision and travel costs, but to provide this vital support we need to raise the full cost of the service each year. We also need to expand to meet the huge rise in demand that we’ve seen this year.
Help Counselling has been operating for 30 years now, and the rapid growth in the number of referrals to our service, which has more than doubled in the last year, is clear evidence that this project is still needed.
Social Services, Probation, GP surgeries and other local charities regularly refer people to us because our reputation has made us a trusted place and people are also able to self-refer through our website. Unfortunately our lists are so full now, that we’re having to tell people there is a 6-month waiting list. That’s a hard thing to do when we know they desperately need help now and that early intervention can stop a downward spiral into depression, hopelessness and longer-term problems.
Please help us by making a donation to our work so that we can offer the support residents of your parish need, at the time they need it. You will be helping them and their families to lead happier lives and developing a more resilient local community.
Our Family Support Team aim to provide a service that meets the family’s needs, providing emotional and practical support for families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness. We offer the whole family support. Support can be given in the home or in the hospital.
Exciting new under 5’s soft play area, gardens including sand pit, fun variety of toys and much more. Centre is suitable for children of all ages.

The hour is coming and is now here when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God.
Now is it just me or does this sentence pulled from today’s Gospel, not quite make sense? How is it possible that the “hour” can be coming, but then here?! I mean, that is just not physically possible. BUT this point rings true: the hour is perpetually coming. The hour is perpetually here.
In every second of the day, we, the dead, have the opportunity to choose life. To choose Jesus. It is a relentless, vicious, beautiful cycle of constantly choosing what brings us life, what brings us closer to the One who is Life. Am I choosing those things that allow me to hear the voice of the Son of God in all the decisions in a given day? The hour is coming. The hour is here. What am I doing about it?
There is so much power in choice to take action in our lives, to choose to be open to God’s will in our lives. God is leading the way, and the time is urgent. He stirs a calling in all our hearts, whispering the loving call to serve, to use the gifts He so thoughtfully and beautifully created in you. He wants to bring us life. He wants to awaken us from death. So why don’t we let Him, sweet sisters?
He wants to awaken us from death. So why don’t we let Him, sweet sisters?
Listen. Trust. Move. The hour is coming. The hour is here. What are we going to choose to do with it?

Samu Kerevi has stopped second-guessing himself, on the way to a second straight Test start, halfback Will Genia says.
Kerevi has battled with form and injuries in the past year, and admitted after an impressive game against Japan that he had been putting too much pressure on himself in a tough season.
The 23-year-old credited Genia with helping him shirk that mental anguish, speaking after his two-try outing in Yokohama.
Genia said he had only told Kerevi to trust himself, some pearls of wisdom that clearly paid off.
“I room with Samu all the time, so he got stuck in a cycle where he kept questioning everything, saying, 'Should I do this, should I do that? Should I go up, sit back, all that sort of stuff,” he said.
“I just told him, I said, 'If you've done the work, you don't question yourself, just get out on the field and back yourself to make a decision.
“Just think simple thoughts leading into the game and when you get out there, back those decisions and the guys will react off you as well.
Wallabies coach Michael Cheika said Kerevi had impressed him with his mental strength, as he worked his way back into a starting job.
“We’ve got a very young leadership team and I think that he came on the scene last year and did very well and a lot of heat on him to do that gain - for the Reds and through into our season,” he said.
A neck injury for Karmichael Hunt opened the door for Kerevi to start against Japan, and his form made him impossible to drop even with the return of Hunt.
“It shows the resilience he has as a footballer and a person and that’s the type of player we want in our team.

The OBA has spent the last four and a half years working to divide our country and will spend the next 40 days trying to make us all forget about that.
But the people know better. They know that our families cannot withstand another four years of OBA broken promises and failed policies.
Under the OBA, we have lost more than 2,000 jobs.
Under the OBA, our national debt has doubled.
Under the OBA, the gap between the haves and have nots has increased.
Under the OBA, our schools have fallen into disrepair and our children and teachers are suffering.
What their leadership has taught us is that they will say and do anything to grow the divide between the Two Bermudas, because it suits them and their supporters.
But the PLP knows the Bermudian spirit survives their broken promises and lies.
The PLP has always been the party that has worked for the people and we will continue to work tirelessly for you.
A PLP government will promote Bermudian employment by empowering entrepreneurs with a new tax relief system through bipartisan reform.
The next PLP government will implement a fair immigration policy. We know that policies must recognise that the needs of local business are separate and distinct from the needs of international business and we must do everything we can to ensure the success of both. Pathways to Status is not the answer.
Crippling healthcare costs must be brought down for individuals and employers. The PLP is committed to creating incentives to expand competition in the local insurance sector to drive down costs. We must make it more affordable for employers to employ Bermudians. They want their businesses to grow, and so do we.
The PLP will fix our failing public school system by reversing the OBA’s education cuts. No longer will we allow our schools to be mould-infested and unfit for human occupancy. The asphalt has barely dried for Cabinet building renovations, but our Premier calls teachers “mischievous” when they dare to demand better for our students. This is the Two Bermudas. Under the OBA, West Pembroke School – in my constituency - has two working computers for the entire student body.
Under the PLP, we will ensure there is Wi-Fi throughout all public schools and that our students are equipped with the technology they need to advance in the 21st century.
This is our call to all Bermudians: if you are eligible to vote, then please register to do so. It is your right to vote – a right that was hard won.
Only since 1968 have all people had the right to vote. Only since 2003 under a PLP Government, have we had one man, one vote, each vote of equal value, and every Bermudian, regardless of who you vote for, should be proud to be part of the process.
Over the coming 40 days, The PLP team will continue to lay out why this team is the best team to govern Bermuda. My colleagues know that there is hope for Bermuda and that we as a country can do better than we are doing under the OBA. We can build a Bermuda where a senior doesn’t have to choose between her medication and her dinner. We can build a Bermuda where a student can have the resources at school to focus. We can build a Bermuda where a person working a full-time job on a fair wage can afford to live in the country he belongs to.
Two Bermudas exist, but we know that together, with a government that puts Bermudians first, we can break this division. We can bring our county together, we can make public education a priority, we can upgrade the skills of our young men and women, and we reduce the cost of living, and we can ensure out seniors live in dignity.
I’m proud to represent this great party with its rich history, I’m proud work with these great men and women, and I look forward to the next 40 days where we will share our plan for the country and give Bermudians a government that puts them first.

If you have been using other waxing methods for many years and you are now tired of it, it is time you consider the definitive DEPILATION, which has great medical and scientific support.
The laser emits a highly concentrated light that is absorbed by the hair follicles, producing an effect on the cells that prevents their ability to grow again, leaving in your skin a silky and smooth texture and lightening the skin of armpits and bikini. More and more men and women want to be free of body hair for hygiene and comfort reasons.
Our technology ensures minimal discomfort compared to other types of lasers.
WHAT SHOULD I TAKE INTO ACCOUNT TO CHOOSE BETWEEN LASER AND PULSED LIGHTING?
Currently there are several alternatives in the market and we will make a comparison between these two techniques mostly used today, which we use in DERMALASER the diode laser (Lightsheer Duet).
Optimal results in less time.
5-6 sessions. • More cost effective.
It helps to clarify the tone of the skin.
Results from the first session (greater effectiveness).
Variable results in more time.
More expensive (10 sessions of lower value, but in the long run more cost).
Works in less skin tones.
Effectiveness after the 3rd or 4th session.
The veins on the face and nose are a common aesthetic problem. They may appear in both normal and rosacea sufferers.
Vessels may also appear in the legs as a result of circulation problems.
• Vessels on the face and nose.
• Vessels in the legs (light skin tones).
• Rosacea (permanent redness of the face).
The skin of the face is constantly exposed to the humidity of the environment, pollutants and makeup, which is why pimples and impurities often appear.
The skin cells must be periodically renewed to achieve a light and soft effect and in order to maintain this look deep skin cleaning must be used.
The skin of the face becomes more transparent, clean and attractive and the skin looks healthy, firm and less oily.
Skin that tends to acne or with imperfections improves with the exfoliation of dead cells that accumulate in the superficial layer of the epidermis, which creates an irregular texture.
This technique is ideal since it uses uses tiny exfoliating crystals that are sprayed on the skin. This procedure makes way for a new, smoother layer of skin to replace the skin that's been treated.
Over the years, we notice that our skin changes through sun exposure. The laser rejuvenation with IPL produces in your skin a Clarifying and Illuminating effect, without side effects, activating the production of new collagen and decreasing pore size, so that you will have a young and luminous face.
Less freckles and sunspots on the face, neck and arms.
Activates collagen and tones the skin.
Excessive sweating in the armpits is also known as hyperhidrosis. Surgical treatment produces good results in cases of localized sweating.
It is used in the hands and underarms with good results and its effect is transient, which lasts approximately 9 months.
Minimally invasive procedure, with local anesthesia where the sweat glands are aspirated with a cannula, the reduction of sweating is permanent.
This treatment is recommended for women from 25 years of age and on and it is ideal for correcting wrinkles and expression lines.
It is botulinum toxin type A, purified and a SAFE biological product, approved by the FDA, which allows the relaxation of facial muscles and fades the expression lines.
WHERE DOES BOTOX BE USED?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance produced by skin cells (fibroblasts), the function is to help the skin to keep hydrated.
From the age of 30, the skin diminishes the ability to produce hyaluronic acid, affecting the uptake and retention of water in the dermis, favoring the appearance of wrinkles, sagging and loss of firmness.
To replenish the lost volume of the skin, improve the skin on the cheeks, grooves on the face, lips and improve acne scars.
HOW LONG DOES HIALURONIC ACID LAST IN MY SKIN?
The approximate duration is from 10 to 18 months depending on the type of hyaluronic acid used, there are 3 different densities, depending on the need of each patient, our dermatologists will be able to advise which is the most appropriate for your skin.
It is a painless procedure because all types of hyaluronic acid contain an appropriate amount of anesthetic.
Complementary treatment that deep cleans the skin, decongests the pores and reduces acne, thanks to its powerful sebum that regulates and reduces blemishes effects.
Thinking about your skin care, we have created an intensive treatment for the hydration of your face.
ACQUA is ideal for dry or dehydrated skin (contamination, fatigued skin, menopausal women, sun damage).
First and only treatment to prevent / protect / correct the signs of aging.
It consists of providing fast, novel antioxidant substances (Ferulic Acid, floretinic Acid, Vitamin C) that come from concentrates of red and green fruits, whose penetration helps to improve the texture and elasticity of your face.
Ideal treatment for mixed skins and fats, removes impurities, excess waste, controlling the production of sebum giving back purity and freshness.
With this treatment performed by the dermatologist, you will quickly obtain a skin with a better appearance and texture.
What is a Medical Peeling?
Treatment of old or recent stretch marks.
A physician guides the treatment for acne scars.
Each case is individualized according to the type of scars. There is 3 types of scars: Scratches in ice pick, superficial, and deep depressed. To improve the texture and irregularities of the skin it is necessary to clarify the expectations of improvement of the patient, because the correction achieved is partial and not 100%.
Cross technique with application of TCA, a medicine that improves scars on ice pick.
Technique of injection of hyaluronic acid in depressed scars.
CO2 fractionated laser or fractionated radiofrequency with micro needles to define contours of the scars in conjunction with the above-mentioned procedures.

Milton, the Class AAAAAAA football champion, is broadening its national reputation this year with a deal to become the first Georgia high school team to play a football game in California.
Milton is scheduled to play JSerra Catholic of San Juan Capistrano, Calif., on Sept. 14 in the first Trinity League vs. the USA Showcase on the campus of national power St. John Bosco High of Bellflower, Calif.
Prep Gridiron Logistics, the event organizer, announced the matchups on Wednesday.
The event also includes St. John Bosco vs. Our Lady of Good Counsel of Maryland on Friday, Sept. 13, and Mater Dei of California vs. St. Francis Academy of Maryland on Saturday, Sept. 14.
St. John Bosco, Mater Dei and JSerra are members of the California Interscholastic Federation’s Trinity League, a six-team region that fielded these three nationally ranked teams in 2018.
JSerra, Milton’s opponent, was 9-3 in last season and ranked No. 17 nationally in the MaxPreps’ final computer national rankings. JSerra was No. 7 overall in California.
Milton, which won its first-ever state title, finished in the top three of several final top-25 national rankings and as high as No. 13 by PrepNation.
The California showcase will be played at Panish Family Stadium, a 5,000-seat facility built last year on the St. Bosco campus, about 12 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
According to Georgia High School Football Historians Association records, only two GHSA teams have played California opponents, and both of those games were played in Georgia. North Gwinnett defeated Crenshaw of Los Angeles 17-12 in 2010, and Colquitt County defeated Vista Murrietta 26-7 in 2017.
Milton also will play in the second Atlanta Freedom Bowl on Aug. 19-21 on its home field. The matchups for those six games haven’t been announced. Milton defeated Cardinal Gibbons of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., 42-17 in that event last season.
Milton will open its season on Aug. 23 against Buford in the Corky Kell Classic.

Returning to Universal by about 5.40pm, there was still a fair bit of sunshine, but I wanted to cover the second park before it got dark. I think I had about 3 hours until sunset, since it was middle of summer here.
Walking back along the over-pass from the parking lot to the CityWalk, I saw that there was a mini-golf park below it, on both sides. It looked like fun.
While I was here, I went to see what the BK Whopper Bar was all about.
Sure enough, it was basicly just a "create-your-own" Whopper outlet, with different toppings available, as well as some set combos on offer.
I asked when they closed, and they said after midnight, which was well after the Studios & Islands park closed, so I had time to come back here on my way home... but while I was there now, I decided to try one of the odd ones anyway - the Black & Bleu whopper (with black cajun sauce and bleu cheese). It was definitely the most unusual tasting burger I've had, with the bity coppery taste of the blue cheese.
Once inside I went around anti-clockwise.
Looking across the lake in this Park isn't as impressive as the other one. This one looks more swampish.
Starting with the Dr Seuss land... which was really trippy.
Finally to the next section, which was called The Lost Continent.
The ride in this section sounded interesting, but I overheard a couple of people coming out of it saying that it sucked... so was going to leave this one as a low priority if I had time for rides later.
A stage show that was in this section, to do with Sinbad... but I didn't have time to watch it on this occasion.
With platform 9 & 3/4.
One of three rollercoaster rides, in addition to the main ride inside the Hogwarts castle.
It was the middle of summer, so it feels weird being surrounded by a town that looks to be covered in snow.
The vendor there was selling Butterbeer and Pumpkin juice. The Pumpkin juice was just applejuice with pumkin flavouring, while the Butterbeer was like a vanilla creamy soda softdrink, with a frothy sugary meringue on top (they pour both in separately to the cup).
Of course I had to try one... but I wasn't sure it was alcoholic or not, as I didn't see any kids getting any. It wasn't. But it was really delicious... I got a second one.
A screaming mandrake bush inside the window of this building, that would randomly scream at you.
There was a store that sold wands, like the ones in the movies. And a candy and gag shop, similar to the one in the movie (just nothing magical about the candys and gags they were selling though).
This one was taken later, as the sun had just gone down.
Towards the castle, and one of the rollercoaster rides. I didn't get time to ride any of them, but did do the one inside Hogwards though.
Awwww, it's so cute... and ready to bite your head off.
The hanging ride, similar to what is at Singapore, but in this instance, it was only for kids up to 4 & 1/2 feet tall.
Toon Lagoon was another surrealistic section, like the Dr Seuss section, with odd shapes and bright colours.
This ride looked good, but I ran out of time to try it.
This area had things named after vintage newspaper comic strip characters. See how many you can recognise.
...and man the water cannons to shoot at the people on the water rapids ride below.
The Hulk rollercoaster ride, which looks like it plunges into the water, but is just jets of water as it passes down into a "dry dock" in that part of the lake.
And into the last section of the Islands Park - Marvel Superheros.
It was about 7.30pm now, and I had just about covered the entire Islands Park, so decided to start going on some rides. I started with this one, using my express pass, as I had heard that it was a good one.
As soon as I hopped into a car that looked very familiar, and handed 3D glasses, I realised that it was almost identical to the Transformers Ride. The Transformers Ride had just copied the format of the Spiderman Ride, right down to the size and shape of the car.
It was a good ride though, so as soon as I got off, I hopped into the single-rider's line and did it again.
Inside a comic shop nearby.
Doctor Doom's dropping ride... I didn't go on this one.
Or this one, the Hulk rollercoaster.
It was almost 8pm and the sun was now setting, so it was lucky I'd managed to get all the photos taken before the light faded too much.
I headed back around the park clockwise, because I wanted to do the Harry Potter ride, but it was right on the opposite side.
It was getting late now, and with only a little more than an hour before the night time show at the Studios Park, I decided to head back over there to see if I could get one more go on the Transformers Ride first.
It took about 15 minutes to walk all the way from the Hogwarts School to the Transformers Ride, but when I got there, it was just packed. There was an 80 minute wait on the regular line, and the single-rider's line was full to the door, which would be about an hour too.
I decided that it would just be three times this time, which would mean at least a dozen between the three Transformers Rides... so it wasn't like I was missing out.
I went around to where the giftshop was located, and saw the Optimus Prime (person in costume) nearby. I took some photos of it and went back to the giftshop to have another look over the merchandise.
When I came out, the Bumblebee was there, so took more photos (on the Transformers page).
It was about 9pm now, and there wasn't any time to do any other rides before the show started in 45 minutes, so I went and looked for some food instead.
The Diner was still open, so went inside to get a burger and onion rings. They serve the burger half made, so that you can decide on what you want to have on it, and you can put on your own sauces as well.
That meal below cost US$14.
I constructed the burger, with sauce, and ate the onion rings in the Diner. I took the burger with me in the cardboard tray, and went outside to get a spot nearby to wait for the show to start (while eating the burger).
Out on the lake there are three stages set up, with a frame on each. I was near the one closest to the Transformers ride, but you can see a second one past it.
At 9.45pm the stages were lit up and with some music and fancy lighting, the frames were actually waterfalls... that would release water in patterns and shapes (like a certain car commercial a couple years ago).
At one stage, the water was continuous and lit up in a way that allowed for short films to be projected onto it... including a promo for Dispicable Me 2, and a look back over the 100 years of Universal Studios.
Culminating in a fountain and light show at the end, with a couple small fireworks.
You can probably just make out the start of the Universal pre-credits clio on the screen (which has the word revoving around the Earth before the movie starts).
And the logo as it ends on the screen (of water), and the last of the fireworks.
It was about 10pm now, and I joined the exodus of people making their way out of the park and back home.
Instead of heading out to the parking lot for a taxi, I headed upstairs of the City Walk for some BK Whoppers.
I bought four to take back with me to the hotel - a Bourbon Whopper, a California Whopper, a Mushroom and Swiss Whopper, and I think an Angry Whopper.
On the way I asked the driver if he knew about the Walmart just before we got to the Hotel (because the bellhop had told me that it was open 24 hours). Fortunately he knew about it, so I said that we'll stop there first.
We got there after navigating through a maze of roadworks, and when I went inside I made my way to the toy section. I got a bit excited to see a Hun-Grrr toy, but it was in really crushed packaging. I should have taken my camera in with me, as no one would believe how crushed this toy (and the others from its case) was. It was as if someone had jumped on the side of the box, as the card backs and plastic bubbles were barely wider than the toy itself.
I took it with me to the register, along with a couple bottles of Diet Dr Pepper Cherry (to help wash down the burgers), and asked if the toy was eligible for a discount. A manager was called over, and she said that it would only be discounted if the product itself was damaged.
I wasn't prepared to pay full (American) pricing if I didn't get the packaging (bio) with it, so decided to leave it... and just hope I find another store with one before I get back to LAX (which had the expensive, last resort option).
Back in the cab, and at the hotel at around 11pm... I went to my room and ate while looking for something on TV.
There wasn't really anything on, so I was asleep by about midnight.

So I've thrown in my lot with the fine folks in the Annarchy guild in World of Warcraft, and I'm having a grand old time. Dark Iron is pretty much full now, especially with that punk Tim from Ctrl Alt Del joining forces with the Horde. Okay actually Tim is not a punk, he's a nice guy. Quite unlike that foul Sam Logan. He's a TOTAL punk. Punk.

The Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA) and the Department of the Navy (Navy) entered into an Economic Development Conveyance Memorandum of Agreement (EDC MOA) in 2000, which authorized a no-cost conveyance of major portions of the former Naval Air Station Alameda (NAS Alameda) property, including Alameda Point and Bayport, to the ARRA consistent with the NAS Alameda Community Reuse Plan (Reuse Plan) adopted in 1996. The ARRA and Navy entered into Amendment No. 2 to the EDC MOA on January 4, 2012 that re-commits the ARRA and Navy to the Reuse Plan. On February 7, the City of Alameda accepted a transfer of all of the ARRA’s rights, obligations and assets, including the EDC MOA. The United States Office of Economic Adjustment, on behalf of the Secretary of Defense, recognized the City as the official Local Reuse Authority on March 9, 2012. Pursuant to these agreements, phase 1 conveyance of approximately 1,379 acres, including 509 acres of land and 870 acres of submerged land of the Alameda Point property was conveyed from the Navy to the City in June 2013 (Phase 1 Conveyance) (Exhibit 1). As the Navy has continued to remediate the Alameda Point property, a second phase of land is now ready to be transferred from the Navy to the City in March 2016, consisting of 183 acres (Phase 2 Conveyance) (Exhibit 1). Of the 183 acres, 37 acres will be uplands and 146 acres will be submerged. As depicted on Exhibit 1, it is currently anticipated that there will be at least two additional future conveyances.
Similar to the Phase 1 Conveyance, the Phase 2 Conveyance property is divided into multiple parcels (Phase 2: 11 parcels), based primarily on environmental conditions (Exhibit 2). Each parcel will have its own quitclaim deed that includes a distinct set of notifications and/or restrictions placed on the property, depending on a number of factors, including past use; presence of existing buildings; location within the Naval Air Station Alameda Historic District; and/or previously remediated or existing contamination of the soil or groundwater, if any. The detailed parcelization will allow the City to assemble and sell parcels for private development with clear information about the specific conditions relevant to each parcel. If fewer, larger parcels had been created instead, environmental restrictions and notifications would appear on deeds for many areas that do not need them, potentially creating a challenge in understanding which restrictions and notifications would apply to which portions of each parcel. Uncertainty regarding the condition of the property, especially pertaining to environmental conditions, would damage the marketability of the land. As a result, the Phase 2 Conveyance is divided into numerous parcels similar to how the Phase 1 Conveyance was executed.
In most cases, the environmental restrictions on the parcels prohibit extraction and most uses of groundwater, and excavating below a specific threshold depth without a City marsh crust excavation permit. Only two acres (excluding Seaplane Lagoon) will contain restrictions on land use (i.e., no residences, hospitals, schools or day care facilities). In some cases the restrictions apply only to the ground floor. Typically, these restrictions are located in areas that do not affect the City’s future development plans and are consistent with the zoning for the property (Exhibit 3). There will also be approximately 7.5 acres of land that will contain open petroleum sites. The Navy is obligated to clean-up the open petroleum sites post-transfer. Many, if not most, of which include minor contamination or require minor additional investigation before they can be closed for unrestricted use. Once conveyance occurs and new development approaches, a Site Management Plan (SMP) will be developed similar to the SMP prepared for the Phase 1 Conveyance that is acceptable to the Navy and the environmental regulatory agencies. The SMP will provide information about historical activities and current environmental status, and contain guidelines to help ensure development and construction are implemented consistent with environmental conditions. Upon conveyance, the City will also manage a program through its existing permitting database to help ensure that unauthorized activities and land uses do not occur on specified petroleum sites similar to its current process in enforcing the City’s Marsh Crust Ordinance (Exhibit 4). The draft final Finding of Suitability of Transfer (FOST) issued by the Navy pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) is also attached (Exhibit 5).
4) An amendment to the Lease in Furtherance of Conveyance to update the areas to be occupied by the Navy on property not yet owned by the City.
The Conveyance Approval Package (Exhibit 6) consists of all of the documents listed above, as well as a prototypical “form deed,” which contains all of the restrictions and notifications which may be included in the deeds, and a matrix depicting which restrictions and notifications will apply to which deed and parcel. For example, some parcels will include a notification of the existence of the Naval Air Station Alameda Historic District, while others will include restrictions on digging and excavation within the Marsh Crust area. Subsequent to City Council approval, the 11 deeds will be generated based on the final form deed and matrix.
Staff is recommending approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept, on behalf of the City, certain surplus federal property, and to accept, execute, and record conveyance documents in substantial conformance with the Conveyance Approval Package.
There is no financial impact to the City’s General Fund.
On March 21, 2000, the City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact Report pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Reuse of Naval Air Station Alameda and the Fleet and Industrial Supply Center, Alameda Annex and Facility (State Clearinghouse No. 96022105) (the “2000 EIR”) , consisting of the Draft EIR and EIR Response to Comments Addendum, and adopted Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations, adopted and incorporated into the project all of the mitigation measures within the responsibility and jurisdiction of the City, and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring Program. On February 4, 2014, the City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Alameda Point Project (State Clearinghouse No. 201312043) (the “2014 EIR”), consisting of the Draft EIR and Response to Comments volume, and adopted Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations, adopted and incorporated into the project all of the mitigation measures within the responsibility and jurisdiction of the City, and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring Program.
The Phase 2 Conveyance implements conveyance of NAS Alameda and subsequent reuse pursuant to the Reuse Plan, which were analyzed in the 2000 EIR. The analysis in the 2000 EIR was updated in the 2014 EIR, which analyzed the redevelopment and reuse of 878 acres of land and approximately 1,229 acres of water at the former NAS Alameda, including the Phase 2 Conveyance. The Phase 2 Conveyance is within the project area analyzed in both EIRs. The Phase 2 Conveyance would not require major revisions to the previously certified EIRs due to new or substantially increased significant environmental effects. There have been no substantial changes to the conveyance and reuse or substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the conveyance and reuse would be undertaken, that would require major revisions to the EIRs due to new or substantially increased significant environmental effects, and no new information of substantial importance has been discovered that would trigger or require major revisions to the EIRs due to new or substantially increased significant environmental effects.
Approve a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept, on behalf of the City, certain surplus federal property, and to accept, execute, and record conveyance documents in substantial conformance with certain Phase 2 property and conveyance documents from the United States of America, acting by and through the Department of the Navy, to implement the Economic Development Conveyance Agreement for the former Naval Air Station, Alameda.

For over ten years, FINNEGANS has been serving delicious beer to the Midwest, while serving the underserved nutritious food in one fell swoop. When starting FINNEGANS, our founder Jacquie found inspiration from Billy Shore’s Share our Strength organization, which had a for profit entity that helped fund their non profit activities. Now that we’ve become established in the Midwest and beyond, we were thrilled to find out that our model has inspired a new socially-minded business to sprout up—this time, all the way across the Atlantic.
Two Fingers Brewing Company is a new brewing company that recently began production in the United Kingdom. Like FINNEGANS, they donate all of their profits to a cause they believe in. Their crusade is fighting prostate cancer, the most common cancer among men. They recently contacted us to let us know that our beer-slinging-for-good model was a part of their inspiration.
FINNEGANS has always been about the greater good, and we’re absolutely thrilled that our do-good spirit is picking up momentum and moving beyond what we alone can do. It’s like all of the efforts of our employees, volunteers, and partners over the last ten years have caused ripples that reached across the Atlantic Ocean, doing far more good than we even knew.
The global economy is very different than it was twenty years ago, and traditional models of philanthropy, though they have done much good, aren’t going to be able to provide for tomorrow the way they have in the past. We need more innovative ideas for helping the underserved, and when new enterprises like Two Fingers pop up half-way around the world, we can’t help but feel optimistic about the future.
Cheers, Two Fingers. Here’s to doing good together.

The IUP Health Service will be converting to an electronic medical records system beginning with the Fall semester 2011.
After careful consideration, we have selected the Point and Click Solutions EHR system and have made the necessary technical and hardware changes. Point and Click is being used in other PASSHE health centers and specializes in college and university settings.
While we provide the same great personal care, be patient with us as we learn to utilize the system to its maximum potential. All previous records will be maintained and gradually converted to electronic format. Students who have never been to the Health Service will begin with an electronic record which will be maintained indefinitely.
It will be imperative to have your IUP I-card to log in at the reception window, as the login process will also be automated and updated.
As the system becomes fully integrated over the first year, students will be able to look online and schedule certain types of visits, while walk-in visits such as illness and injury are still available. Certain types of visits, including physicals and women's health issues, are already available as an appointment by calling the office. Health history forms and immunization records are still vitally important to have on record with the Health Service. Eventually, student health history records and immunization records will be entered via a Web portal available to all students and will be automatically available to the providers at a visit.
This type of electronic system will provide the highest quality of record keeping, while still allowing for the personal attention given to patients in our Health Service setting. As usual, if any student has a concern, especially at the time of their visit, they can ask to speak to the director.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we move our healthcare forward!

Please visit us at booth 4111 in hall 1. We are looking forward to seeing you!
At PT/EXPO, Fraunhofer IIS will showcase an end-to-end VR audio system based on MPEG-H for production, delivery, playback and rendering of immersive sound. The entire chain consists of Fraunhofer upHear® Spatial Audio Microphone Processing, Cingo Composer post-production plugin, the MPEG-H 3D Audio codec and a VR player SDK for high-quality VR experiences.
Enhanced Voice Services (EVS) is the next-generation 3GPP VoLTE codec, successor of AMR-WB. It is the only and mandatory codec for super-wideband VoLTE/VoWiFi services. EVS enables phone calls with Full-HD Voice quality, bringing call fidelity up to the same level as today’s other digital media services. Integrating state-of-the-art speech and audio coding technology, EVS removes the limitations of bandlimited, voice-centric codecs previously used in mobile communication. The algorithm enables high quality speech, background music and mixed content with the full audible audio spectrum at unmatched low bit rates. Combined with EVS’ advanced robustness against packet loss indoor coverage is considerably enhanced. The algorithm results in clear, natural sounding conversations and vastly improved performance of hold music and ring back tones.
T-Mobile USA was the first operator in the world to announce the introduction of EVS in its VoLTE network in April 2016. Only one month later, EVS entered the Asian market: The Japan based operator NTT DoCoMo launched its EVS powered VoLTE service. EVS services are also available in Korea.
In December 2016, EVS reached Europe: The German carrier Vodafone Germany announced the launch of their EVS VoLTE service. Half a year later, in July 2017, the German operator Deutsche Telekom adopted EVS under the name “HD Voice Plus”.
Today, EVS is supported by a broad range of smartphones from major manufacturers, for example, Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 edge and S8/S8+, LG G5 and V20, Sony Xperia XZ/X Performance and XZ Premium, Huawei P10 and P10 Plus and HTC U11.
In June 2017, MPEG Licensing Administration (MPEG LA) announced the availability of an EVS Patent Portfolio License. The License will facilitate future deployments of EVS by providing efficient access to patents related to this telecommunications standard.
With its special features, xHE-AAC (Extended HE-AAC) effortlessly meets the requirements of digital radio and streaming applications where various audio content types need to be transmitted at very low bit rates. The audio codec produces excellent sound for both music and speech, delivering high quality performance at bit rates starting as low as 6 kbit/s. Thus xHE-AAC streaming apps and streaming radio players may switch to very low bit rate streams and offer a continuous playback even while the network is congested. It also opens up the potential to reliably serving billions of 2G users for the first time with uninterrupted music streaming services especially in emerging markets around the globe, from India and Indonesia to African countries. Streaming service providers benefit from drastically reduced CDN cost, while consumers enjoy an improved service quality while saving on their precious monthly data allowance.
DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) is the first digital radio standard to adopt xHE-AAC as the mandatory audio codec and therefore benefiting from its features. xHE-AAC allows for multiple better-than-FM stereo services on a regular medium wave transmission, and up to three stereo services on a single FM frequency for local coverage. Several car manufacturers have already launched new models equipped with xHE-AAC capable DRM receivers in India, with several other Asian and African countries in the process or rolling out DRM services.
At this year’s PT/EXPO, booth visitors will have the chance to experience how well the most advanced audio codec (xHE-AAC) for radio and streaming handles all types of content at lowest and dynamically changing bit rates.

Looks very interesting and nice shading. Thanks!
P.S. DOP’s smoke solver still solves quicker in many cases though.
Really useful, thanks for sharing.
it is very nice to share.
Thank you for sharing this setup !
Yeah it feels like the DOP's smoke is faster when it comes to single emitter like in your example, but if you have multiple emitters distributed in space, I bet this setup wins in terms of speed and memory footprint.
If I’m guessing it right you must be Alessandro Pepe. If so, cheers for your “FX Thinking” blog!
Yes, I agree with what you mentioned. Things like independent events or trail such has the benefits.
Eddy for Nuke was interesting but wasn’t aware it was sparse!
Thank you man , I'm glad somebody actually reads that gibberish !!
The more I play with your setup , the more I like it. I tried to duplicate the sphere source and move it like 1000 units away...and yes, the sim gets a bit slower, but being used to see how slow non-sparse volume grid based sims can get, it's quite an amazing feeling.
Plus one thing I love about this setup is that it's incredibly simple.
I've to create a dust trail setup, mmm I think I'm going to give this technique a try.

It all started with the crazy notion of making wine. Wouldn’t that be a fun thing to try? Wouldn’t that be a great thing for the family to all do together, side by side. After all, we already knew that when these two Southern brothers fell for two Midwestern sisters, anything became possible. As for our wine undertaking, we doubted that it would really work out but we never thought it couldn’t. And so began the adventure. We got our first batch of grapes from an established winery in Temecula, CA. Along with the grapes came a lot of advice and a lot of enthusiasm. One of the greatest things we will always take away from this experience is that wine makers want you to succeed; want you to join the party and flourish.
So we got that first 100 pounds of grapes. It seemed like such a large number at the time. We sat on our parent’s front lawn- the six of us; brothers and sisters, mother and father, husbands and wives and de-stemmed all of those grapes by hand, for hours and hours.
Sitting on our aluminum lawn chairs, we talked, laughed and teased each other. We reminisced about the crazy things we'd each done in our lives and how they had, ultimately, brought us together. Curious neighbors came over to lend a hand. We got better and more efficient, as a team. There seemed to be a new clarity to our purpose and our family. That was the day, the moment in time, when our new found hobby turned in to our collective passion.
Matt was the mastermind- he got us all involved. Elissa kept our spirits up. Holly was the historian- always keeping track of where we were and Mike was quality control- although we are pretty sure he was just interested in eating the grapes.
By the time we were done our 100 pounds of grapes had diminished enough to fit into one large garbage can. We were sticky and our backs hurt. Mike had a terrible stomach ache. It had been the best day, EVER.
Since that first “harvest”, Matt became enthralled with the industry, and took full advantage of the opportunity, continually asking questions and learning all he could about every aspect of wine making. He learned about AVAs, varietals, winemaking techniques and vineyard practices. The family sought help from a close family friend for a label design and researched how to market a wine brand. Matt and Elissa joined the local Cellarmasters Home Wine Club so they could grow their understanding of the culture of winemaking. They soon became integral members of the organization, leading Sensory Evaluation Clinics and moving the group forward during their two stints as President and Co- President of the organization. Matt’s passion for winemaking was quickly established and he took full advantage of the mentorship program thru Cellarmasters and studied under established winemakers and growers- all the while continuing to grow our dream and the volume of our wine.
The hand-ons winemaking education was furthered in 2013 when we partnered with Cantara Cellars who welcomed us in and gave us the ability to make our wine in their bonded facilities- allowing us to create our first wine sales in the Spring of 2017.
Matt and the crew never stops thinking about how we can improve the quality of grapes produced by Lester Family Cellars. Matt’s driven curiosity helps our Family flourish- whether it is a grandiose experiment in building a Cob pizza oven; blending and roasting coffee beans (a favorite of Holly’s); distilling beer or growing hops, Matt never takes the easy road but instead builds a rich foundation based on curiosity, education, experimentation and togetherness. All of these investigations help grow our understanding of texture, flavor, patience and, ultimately, wine making.
LFC is dedicated to producing small lot, handcrafted bottlings of exceptional quality varietal wines from the most premium vineyards in the Santa Barbara County. We search for vineyards which produce grapes with beautiful concentration and intense varietal character. These grapes are hand harvested, hand sorted, fermented in small lots, and basket pressed to ensure the highest possible quality and true expression of the vineyard and of the winemaker. After fermentation is complete the wines are transferred to American Oak barrels for aging. These red wines are aged for at least two years in barrel prior to being hand bottled.
Every season since that first 100 pounds has brought us new adventures, bigger quantities of grapes, more serious decisions, greater unity as a family and continued success. Each year we invest in more equipment and consistently build our relationships with our key growers. Our hopes and dreams are ever changing and growing and we look forward to seeing them all come to fruition- however that may be redefined. For now, we invite you to come along with us as part of our journey, join the family and drink some great wine.
We believe that The Family Vote is the purest form of democracy. We believe in long walks and in Uber. We believe that cut flowers CAN change your outlook on life. We believe that “Try Me” is a state of mind. We love getting actual letters in the mailbox and having vegetables delivered to the front door by a farmers Co-op.
We wish milk still came in a glass jar. We believe that herbs from your garden make anything you are cooking taste better. We see the beauty in old rusted farm equipment and peeling wood as well as in clean surfaces and shiny objects. We believe in red white AND blue states. We believe that laughter is exercise.
We get annoyed when we cry- but we do it a lot anyway. We think words are important- books, songs, conversations count. We like being the center of attention and the funniest one in the room. We look at PS4 as training for any possible future Apocalypse. Our hobbies are diversified and include mining for gold as well as quilting. We think hockey is way more interesting than baseball, basketball and golf. We like to grow stuff that we can later use. We believe that wanderlust is what keeps a person young. We put bacon on everything. We are willing to travel anywhere to see our favorite band. We believe you should be kind, gracious, patient and helpful in this life because it is the right thing to do and not because it is a bargaining chip for what happens next. We don’t always practice what we preach. We believe that making espresso or the perfect paella is not a pain. We believe that you can learn everything you need to know about life from going to a play. We like appetizers just as much as a “real” meal. We LOVE meat and potatoes, fried chicken and biscuits and gravy but we mostly eat fish and vegetables. We love rain but hate humidity. We have a family whistle that we use when we lose someone in the grocery store. We believe that you can fix anything by reading about it on a chat line on the internet but some of us do not have the patience to do so. We know that the Georgia Bulldogs are the best team out there. We believe that the drop in as opposed to slide in method for Corn Hole is the better technique. We love a good bonfire and oyster bake as well as a formal dinner. We prefer to not wear our shoes at the latter. We cherish the memoires of our grandparents, value their things and wish we had asked them more questions. We don’t believe you have to add a lot of ingredients and additives to something to make it better. Sometimes perfect is not fancy. Something does not always have to last a long time.

They being both fermented and distilled, cordial (also known as liqueour) are simply fruits steeped in an alcohol which has already been fermented and distilled.
SCHNAPPS is a type of distilled beverage. The word Schnapps is derived from the German word Schnaps and refers to usually clear alcoholic beverages distilled from fermented cereals, roots or fruits, including cherries (Kirschwasser), apples, pears, peaches, plums and apricots. Often, the base material for making schnapps is the pulp that is a by-product in juice production. True Schnapps has no sugar or flavoring added. Schnapps is similar in flavor and consistency to vodka, with light fruit flavors, depending on the base material. The alcohol content is usually around 40% by volume.
distillation-alcohol and flavoring agents are blended before being distilled; infusion- flavorings are steeped in hot water, which is then mixed with the alcohol base; maceration-flavoring agents are steeped directly in the alcohol base; percolation-alcohol is dripped through the flavoring agents to extract their essences.

WEST COVINA -A two out rally in the bottom of the sixth kept West Covina High School on track for its first San Antonio League softball championship since 2005.
The Bulldogs (12-9, 6-3) came from behind to beat Nogales 2-1 and take over sole possession of first place Wednesday after South Hills lost to Rowland.
The Bulldogs can clinch the title outright if they win their final three league games.
The Bulldogs’ Dekota Monarrez and the Nobles’ Deanna Alfaro were hooked up in an old-fashioned pitchers’ duel when the Bulldogs pushed across the winning run in the sixth.
Arianna Sanchez walked with two outs, Alyse Gutierrez got a pinch-hit single and Junnae Dai’re bunted for a single to load the bases. Andrea Gutierrez walked to drive in the winning run before Alfaro got the final out.
The Bulldogs can credit their late-season surge to the maturing of Monarrez. Only a sophomore, she had to take over the pitching duties when the Bulldogs lost their top pitcher to grades midway through the season.
Monarrez came close to putting the Bulldogs ahead in the fifth. Her smash to center field was run down by Nobles center fielder Tamara Robles, who crashed through the fence as she made the catch.
The Nobles scored an unearned run in the third to take the lead. Vanessa Lemus reached base on a wild pitch third strike and came around on a single by Haley Hernandez.

Kanye West's deal with Adidas may give him a lot of creative control over his Yeezys, but apparently, he wants his role in the company to be even bigger. He says as much while interviewing Hood By Air founder Shayne Oliver for Interview Magazine's latest feature story.
For the conversation, which was published yesterday (Feb. 27), 'Ye spoke to Oliver about the rumored revival of HBA and the designer's new role at Helmut Lang. During their conversation, 'Ye revealed the full extent of his own Adidas ambitions.
"So it’s interesting to me when you get these situations, because, like, I’ve been fighting and struggling and arguing and talking and having conversation after conversation about being the creative director of Adidas," Kanye told Oliver during their conversation.
Since he dropped the first model of the 750 Yeezy Boost in 2015, Kanye has gone super hard on Adidas' behalf. While Kanye obviously fired off loads of controversial political tweets that could have jeopardized his commercial stock last year, Adidas CEO Kasper Rørsted made a point to say the rapper's political stance has nothing to do with the shoe brand.
"We don't sign up to all the statements he makes," Rorsted told CNBC in November 2018. "We sign up for all the creative work we jointly do, which has been extremely successful for both parties. If [West] stays away from politics, that's his choice. We've had a great relationship with him."
It's not clear whether Adidas will ever consider 'Ye for the role as creative director, but it's obvious the Yeezy founder wants the job. Read Kanye's conversation with Oliver at Interview Magazine.
