It didn’t take long for nutritionist Georgia Barnes to capture Australia’s heart as a contestant on MasterChef with her humble nature and holistic approach to cooking. Her tenacity and attention to detail saw her still standing at the end of one of the most gruelling cooking competitions ever seen on Australian television. Georgia is now ready to pour her heart into her two greatest loves – natural health and cooking – and the world is waiting with open arms.
For 27 year old nutritionist, TV personality, cook and MasterChef grand finalist Georgia Barnes – food was always an integral part of life. It was this overriding passion, combined with a love of working with people, which led her to study nutritional medicine and audition for MasterChef.
It turned out to be a pivotal decision in Georgia’s life, as she quickly proved she had what it took to take on some of Australia’s most talented home cooks with their eyes firmly on the prize. She swiftly caught the attention of both the public and judges through cooking from the heart and thinking swiftly on her feet week after week. It wasn’t long before Georgia started gaining further acclaim for her beautiful desserts, masterful seafood skills and stunning plating abilities.
It was Georgia’s talent coupled with a laser-like focus which saw her battle her way to the final challenge of the MasterChef 2015 grand finale after winning the first two challenges. It took the form of a dessert pressure test designed by culinary genius Heston Blumenthal.
Narrowly missing out on winning the series to competitor Billie McKay by two precious points, Georgia emerged humble in defeat and full of praise for the victor.
Georgia’s calendar has been full ever since with pop up restaurants, cooking demonstrations, a regular column with Taste Magazine, a place in the new season of foodie TV show Ben’s Menu and an ambassador role with Endeavour College of Natural Health.
She will also travel the country over the coming months to share her skills on stage at the Perth, Melbourne and Canberra Food & Wine Expos and will make a guest appearance at Cake, Bake & Sweets Show in Melbourne.
“Since wrapping up with MasterChef I haven’t really looked back. I’ve finally reached a point in my life where my love of natural health, nutrition and food are merging for the first time in my career,” said Georgia. Food styling allows Georgia to tap into her creative side, also stimulated through her experience on MasterChef.
From an early age, Georgia was curious about good produce – where it came from and what it tasted like. It was her grandmother, affectionately known as ‘Mama’, who influenced her love of food most.
This planted the seed for Georgia to complete a nutrition degree with Endeavour College of Natural Health after almost completing a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Criminal Justice. Taking a break from study to travel overseas on her own trip of self-discovery, Georgia soon realised her love of nature and health was calling.
“I thought studying criminology was what I wanted to do, but I was so young and it just wasn’t for me. I had this burning desire to learn more about natural health, and that is where it all began,” said Georgia.
Georgia said she first became interested in natural health after her mother took her to a naturopath.
Georgia’s natural health studies marked a shift where food became about work and play. As she learned the health benefits of unprocessed and whole foods, her recipes became more complex and inventive as she discovered new ingredients and used her home cooking skills to develop allergy and intolerance-friendly recipes.
Reflecting on how her approach to nutrition had changed over the years, the MasterChef alumnus said her average meals now were always ‘oomphed’ with something special.
“I’m obsessed with creating recipes using wholefoods – I always throw in an ingredient packed with nutrition. Take a cheesecake for example – I might make a pumpkin cheesecake with a base made of pepitas and some extra cinnamon and turmeric, and before you know it the cheesecake isn’t looking so bad,” said Georgia.
Although Georgia's cooking is creative and inventive, she still sticks to the basic naturopathic principles, making bone broths, green smoothies and ensuring she eats plenty of fermented foods on a regular basis.
Using her profile to encourage people to become more connected with their food was another important driver for Georgia.
“Food is such a beautiful and massive part of our lives, and for that reason I’m never one to say ‘don’t eat this or that’. The last thing people need to associate food with is guilt. What I do like to encourage people to do is to make their meals at home from scratch where they can,” said Georgia.
Concerned by the fascination with clean eating and fad diets, Georgia is quick to advocate a more balanced nutrition philosophy.
“Life is about balance and happiness,” said Georgia.
When asked what she had learned over the whirlwind of the past 12 months, her response is swift and sure.

Phil Kidner has announced his retirement after eleven years at the helm of the TETRA and Critical Communications Association. The TCCA is a Market Representation Partner in 3GPP.
TETRA became operational in the mid-90s being built on the ETSI standards and the TETRA Association’s expertise to bring it to market.
During Phil Kidner’s leadership the Association has been a major driver for the success of TETRA amongst Governments, Operators, Vendors and – vitally – the Users from the public safety and transport sectors.
Phil always identifies the year 2000 as a big date in the TETRA world, a year when the first national systems were rolled out and a time when he was actively involved in it’s successful launch in the UK - From initial specification through procurement, implementation and service management.
Phil Kidner joined the Association in 2006 as CEO and has seen TETRA clock-up over 250 operational networks, providing dedicated public services. The largest TETRA network is set to carry 500,000 users, when completed in 2017.
In 2011 the TETRA Association widened its scope to include all critical communications. Since then, Phil has worked to bring the TCCA community into 3GPP, to define features that deliver an LTE standard that can properly host mission-critical communications in the future.
3GPP wishes Phil a long and happy retirement and takes this opportunity to wish Tony Gray every success as the new CEO of the TCCA.

"It is time for (the PA) to stop security coordination with the occupation, and to get united in the face of the challenges".
However, intermittent USA mediation between Israelis and Palestinians ran aground after President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital early in his term.
Writing also on Twitter, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu recalled that West Bank is a "Palestinian territory occupied by Israel in violation of int'l law". Beyond that, he seemed to imply Israel was entitled to do whatever it wants, and that no Israeli would ever be subject to Palestinian sovereignty.
The Palestinians and many countries consider settlements to be illegal under the Geneva conventions, which ban settling on territory occupied in war.
But in the meantime, it has showered Netanyahu with priceless political gifts - from the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital in 2018 to the recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights in March - while battering the Palestinians with aid cuts and public scoldings. The annexation of parts of the West Bank would likely be considered the final blow to the possibility of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In 2015, Trump used similar rhetoric in a speech to the RJC.

At a recent TSSA Liquid Fuels Advisory Council meeting, NOTO learned that the TSSA is changing its focus from being a “Compliance Centric” Regulator to one of “Harm Reduction and Improved Safety”.
It was reported, this transformation will require a culture shift in how TSSA currently views those they regulate, to regarding them as safety partners. The organization has committed to reviewing the type and way they deliver services collaboratively with regulated parties. They intend to move to recognizing, rewarding and trusting “Good Players”.
Another piece of this transformation we are happy to see included is the focus to provide support and education to help businesses comply with regulations. This is something that we have been asking for regularly for a number of years.
They have also acknowledged that in order to make this transition they will be requiring regulated parties to be “owners of compliance” and “managers of their own risk”. They will also be shifting to transparently using deterrence when warranted. We look forward to learning more about these initiatives over the next several months.
This transition to using a risk-based approach in TSSA’s efforts to improve compliance and is a method we are beginning to see in other regulated areas like septic systems. We have found that particularly in Northern Ontario these approaches are much more practical and are a positive way to promote compliance.
We have made a request to have TSSA provide an update and perhaps hold a consultation (depending on where they are in the process) at the 2019 Northern Ontario Tourism Summit in Timmins this November.
NOTO will remain eager to collaborate with TSSA on behalf of our members to ensure that this transition supports the tourism industry’s desire to offer safe outdoor experiences and continue to protect our environment.

petition: Cast Michael B. Jordan as the Next Superman!
Cast Michael B. Jordan as the Next Superman!
It's official Henry Cavill has announced he will be retiring the red cape and stepping down as Superman. Word on the street is Warner Brothers is thinking of casting Michael B. Jordan and I'm on board, so let's make it happen!
Sign my petition calling on Warner Brothers to cast Micheal B. Jordan as the next Superman!
Michael B. Jordan has incredible acting chops and a lineage of superhero movies on his resume. Earlier this year he slayed as the good guy gone bad Erik Killmonger, desperate to avenge his father's death in Black Panther. The film went on to become the highest grossing superhero movie EVER!
In a time where representation is paramount to moviegoers as seen by the record-breaking success of both "Black Panther" and "Crazy Rich Asians," it would be amazing to see Warner Brothers embrace diversity and cast Michael B. Jordan as the new man of steel.
Please sign my petition to tell Warner Brothers we want Michael B. Jordan as our next Superman!

This magic writing spell literally allows you to write out the good fortune you want to experience in your life. By imbue your writing with magical power you can choose that which you wish to acquire. When casting this spell you want to perform it between a new moon and a full moon. This is the period where we can bring into our lives an increase of that which we desire. Casting this spell when the full moon on the wane can have the opposite effect and so it is something that you need to be careful with. You will be burning paper here so remember to be careful and have somewhere safe to place the parchment after you have finished.
Step 1. Start by lighting both the candle and the incense.
Step 2. Write our the thing in your life you want to acquire or increase. As you are doing so it is important that you visualise it in your minds eye. You want to see it as clearly as possible, as if you have already acquired it.
Step 3. Repeat this process nine times exactly. So when you have finished you should have your request written out a full nine times.
Step 4. Hold the paper over the incense for several minutes. While you are doing this picture again that which you want to acquire or increase.
Step 5. Fold the paper into threes. Then burn each edge of the parchment slightly before blowing the on the edge to put out the flame. Do not let the parchment burn completely.
Step 5. Allow the candle to die out naturally.
Step 6. Take the parchment outside. You should bury the parchment where it is in direct line of sight with the moon.
As you do say repeat the following incantation nine times.

Meghan Markle isn’t the only one going through life changes right now. Yeah, she married into the royal family and is the first biracial American divorceé to do so. Now that Meghan is a Duchess, anyone who ever had a relationship with her will always be known as the person who let the Duchess go. Her exes are living their lives and a few of them are going through some big changes as well. Her ex-husband is getting remarried and her ex-boyfriend is having a baby.
Trevor Engelson, also known as Meghan’s first husband, is now engaged to Tracey Kurland. Meghan and Engelson separated in 2013 after two years of marriage. Before they were married they dated for seven years. Clearly, they’ve both moved on.
Engelson announced their engagement in a private Instagram post according to Cosmopolitan. The photo was of the couple smiling and Kurland showing off her new ring. The caption reads, “Luckiest guy I know! Get ready to party!” Do you think the Duke and Duchess will be invited?
Engelson isn’t the only one of Meghan’s exes that has life-changing news. Her ex-boyfriend Cory Vitiello is expecting a baby according to Us Weekly. A source told Us Weekly that Vitiello and Dragonette singer Martina Sorbara are expecting a child together.
Vitiello is a celebrity chef. He and Meghan dated after she and Engelson separated, but before she and Prince Harry started seeing each other.
Meghan and Prince Harry got married on April 19 with almost two billion people watching. It’s funny to think that all of this is happening after Meghan and Prince Harry got hitched. It’s like her becoming royal has blessed all of her exes. To be honest we would much rather marry a Prince.

The KEA (/ˈkiː.ə/; Māori: [kɛ.a]; (Nestor notabilis) is a large species of parrot of the family Strigopidae found in forested and alpine regions of the South Island of New Zealand. About 48 cm (19 in) long, it is mostly olive-green with a brilliant orange under its wings and has a large, narrow, curved, grey-brown upper beak. The kea is the world's only alpine parrot. Its omnivorous diet includes carrion, but consists mainly of roots, leaves, berries, nectar, and insects. Now uncommon, the kea was once killed for bounty due to concerns by the sheep-farming community that it attacked livestock, especially sheep. It received full protection in 1986.
The kea nests in burrows or crevices among the roots of trees. Kea are known for their intelligence and curiosity, both vital to their survival in a harsh mountain environment. Kea can solve logical puzzles, such as pushing and pulling things in a certain order to get to food, and will work together to achieve a certain objective. They have been filmed preparing and using tools.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Florida (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards told a labor group Tuesday that he would ask Americans to make a big sacrifice: their sport utility vehicles.
"I think Americans are actually willing to sacrifice," Edwards said during a forum held by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. "One of the things they should be asked to do is drive more fuel efficient vehicles."
The former North Carolina senator was asked specifically if he would tell them to give up their SUVS. He said, "Yes."
Longshot candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio also spoke to the group and said he had a machinists union flag hanging outside his congressional office and that he is a strong supporter of workers.
Edwards was clearly popular with the group, several times drawing standing ovations, including once when he said weapons and equipment used by America's military needs to be made in the United States. He said now tanks and ammunition for M16 rifles are being made in other countries.
"If your tax dollars are being used to produce the products that keep America safe, that provide defense for the American people, those jobs should remain in the United States of America," Edwards said.
He also said as president he would ask residents to conserve energy and said the nation needs to focus on being a leader in creating alternative energy. He said he wants a national cap on carbon dioxide emissions that is lowered each year.
"We are the worst polluter on the planet. We are 4 percent of the world's population, we're putting out 25 percent of the world's greenhouse gas," Edwards said. "America's going to have to change."
Edwards was asked during his appearance how he explained the contradiction of asking Americans to sacrifice while he's living in a 28,000-square-foot mansion.
He said he came from nothing, worked hard all his life, has always supported workers and fought big corporations as a lawyer.
"I have no apologies whatsoever for what I've done with my life," he said to loud cheers. "My entire life has been about the same cause, which is making sure wherever you come from, whatever your family is, whatever the color of your skin, you get a real chance to do something great in this country."
Kucinich was also well received at the convention, and played up his reputation for being against the Washington establishment.
The machinists conference was held at a Walt Disney World convention center, and he told the crowd, "I come from a place you can call Disney World on the Potomac."
I think he makes a good point, although he is hypocritical for living in a 28,000 square foot mansion, and having a fleet of gas guzzlers himself. The story got me thinking about cleaner living. What would you change to better our environmental impact? Have you seen any good ideas floating around?
And you actually believe that BS about being the worst polluter when compared to China, Russia and most of the other third world countries that have no pollution standards. Typical political garbage that is wrong as usual.
So I take it you have no thoughts or ideas on how to lessen our environmental impact as Tenacious T asked Old Scout? Only smart *** comments??
Actually, I do believe that "BS" about the States being the worst polluter. True, third world industrial countries like India and China don't have pollution standards. However, we have "standards" that are catered to our needs. We have way more toys than the average Chinese family. Gas mowers, 4 wheelers, multiple vehicles, gas guzzling vehicles, motorboats....we could start a post on listing inefficient things around the home.
There are now vehicles available that, after 2,000 miles of driving, produce less emissions than the average lawn mower creates during one course over your front yard. The same vehicle (Ford Fusion ULEV) produces cleaner air straight from its tailpipe than you can breathe walking down the streets in Los Angeles. Ironically, this vehicle is not yet available for sale in the United States. Many other cars meet the same criteria, such as the Volkswagen Lupo (93 mpg on a non-hybrid engine) in Europe. The number of e85 plants are growing, but very slowly, and the number of cars that can utilize e85 to its full potential are small. Similarly, while the technology to produce low-emissions Bio-Diesel is readily available, efficient vehicles are few and far between (2 Volkswagen models, a few BMW, zero from the U.S. boys). Even fewer and farther between are stations that actually carry Bio-Diesel. Europe is passing laws that make renewable energy mandatory. Japan and China have been improving the electric vehicle marked for decades now. Small vehicles and public transportation are about all you'll find in India and Southeast Asia. So tell me again that the United States has a better environmental ethic. Think about it next time you drive somewhere alone, or when you drive a few blocks to save time. Many people do it, and it's time to change our lazy and inefficient habits. So again, I ask you, do you have any ideas to improve our current situation?
Also. Maybe look into this map on the positions regarding the Kyoto Protocol.
You'll notice Australia and The United States are the big stubborn stains that won't budge.
While you are at it, look up the reasons they won't budge. You may be enlightened.
well Dawn, do YOU have any ideas to offer? don't criticize Old Scout if you aren't willing to donate your ideas also........I wish I had some good ideas to share.
I read up on it. I was enlightened to the fact that the U.S. didn't want to reduce carbon emissions because China didn't have to. I've heard similar arguments before, mostly from children who had a gripe about older siblings being able to stay up later. What it comes down to is that reducing emissions and cracking down on industrial facilities is going to benefit the environment. As far as hurting the economy - If we're required to incorporate new equipment to keep our emissions to a minimum and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, the apparatus to do so will have to be produced somewhere. Why not here in the U.S.? By making our own products to reduce emissions, we will in effect reduce demand in other industrial nations (China, anyone?). But wait. That would mean....China would buy something from US!? And we'd have U.N. backing and patent protection? And more Employed Americans, which puts more money into our economy....wait. Slow down. My head's spinning. That can't be right. It appears that, given a long-term view, signing the Kyoto protocol would actually benefit the world, and the U.S. Economy. But you know, I'm sure our government, who are deeply involved in minimizing investment and maximizing production, probably know best. Long live Trickle Down Economics and Separation of Classes!
While I'd love to do my part to reduce our "carbon footprint" in this country, I can't afford much more. While gas prices have gone up by ~ 50 % in the past two years, my health insurance costs have elevated by 50%, my energy bills increased by 20%, milk & groceries costs have elevated, my salary hasn't been raised in the past three years.
Hybrid cars cost more than I can afford & the energy savings they claim can't be recovered over the lower cost of less energy efficient vehicles over the life of the vehicles.
I'd love to buy a "hybrid car", buy an earth home, go green in every way, shape, or form that I could. However, it costs more than I can deal with.
It's so easy to proclaim to the world that we need to go "green". I bought the most fuel efficient vehicle I can afford. I recycle paper, plastic, aluminum, & "tin" cans. Tell me how I/we/the country can shoulder the costs to do more to make the shift??? What difference do I make, particularly since Russia, China, Hong kong now pollute at the rate the U.S. did back in the 60's??
Excellent post, Jeff. One of the fundamental problems in "going green" is that it's so expensive. My personal feeling with hybrid cars is that they're only delaying the inevitable. If fossil fuels are essential to make them go, it's only a matter of time before they can't go anymore. I think E85 and Bio-Diesel are very good solutions, it's just that their quantities are limited, as are the number of cars that can utilize them. Fossil fuel reserves will be depleted, and soon. I think that by government aid to E85 producers, we could see the price of natural fuels go down, and the demand for farming families could increase. However, that just creates another problem, in that to produce more corn to create the fuel, the increase of pesticides and fertilizers will become an issue. But gas prices are going to keep going up, and because everything we use is shipped from somewhere, that cost is going to inflate as well. They say that the Mayan civilization fell because those in power weren't willing to embrace new ways of producing for the greater good. A trip for food or trees to make the plaster they used on a daily basis went from a few hours to a few days, until it was no longer practical, and a great empire was in the middle of a wasteland that couldn't support them. Had they been willing to acknowledge the change that was taking place, and meeting that change with different practices, they might still be around today. I think we can learn from history and realize that it's important to take a long look at our situation and make some changes for the greater good.
Are you aware that it takes nearly the same amount of energy to produce a gallon of ethanol that we get by burning that gallon of alcohol?
No true cost OR energy savings there. Currently E85 is a mirage.
Wind, Nukes, & fuel cell technology should have been pushed in the 80's. Now they may be essential.
I have heard that about Ethanol. My faith in it is due mainly to the fact that it's a relatively new concept, and that with more research, it might be possible to find a more efficient way to produce it. I agree with you about wind and fuel cell technology. Nuclear is still scary to me, after seeing Chernobyl. I heard though that they've found a bacteria that is currently breaking down the radioactive material in the soil. I'm not sure of the details or validity in that story though. To comment on the other two sources, today on "How It's Made" they had a short clip on the testing of new hydrogen cell cars, and how they're working on crash tests to ensure that an accident wouldn't result in a hydrogen explosion.
There's a reason beer "maxs out" at 4 - 10% ethanol & wines at 18%. The yeast strains die. It takes energy to distill the alcohol to 95% pure.
Chernobyl happened because the USSR spent more on Arms research than power plant safeguards. Spent nuclear fuel rod storage can be accomodated for a long time. Research technologies to re-use the spent rods. No CO2 emissions.
I can't agree with the nukes idea... We can't even build something consistently that will last more than a few hundred years. With nukes we have to have the waste safe and protected for longer than any government has ever survived!
Also, even the US and Japan have, and still have, their nuke issues. It's a risky tech and very short sighted for use to think that leaving that kind of waste around forever is a good idea.
What's wrong with glowing in the dark?
Actually i think the proposed long term underground storage facility in Nevada might not be a bad option UNTIL technology learns how to "recycle" the rods.
Fuel cells, wind, & to some extent solar power are the holy grail. But nukes may be the stop-gap measure. We do have the technology to make safer Nuke plants.
I have a friend whose wife is a radiologist. He says it is kind of cool to have a wife that glows in the dark. Makes it real easy to find her.

MedicDVG could join us! It'll sure beat making a toast to his picture like we did this year.
Yes I am enlightened. The reason they will not budge it that they both have extreme rightist, backward thinking governments. I have had my hybrid car for over 4 years. It cost about $2,000 more than the non-hybrid model. That year the tax incentive was almost $2,000. Since than gas has gone up nearly 100% and has sometimes surpassed that. I saved a mint in gas costs and it is a ULEV, so I've saved some lungs as well.
I'm not sure I believe it and I'm not going to go look for it to post a link but bragging about your hybrid might not have done the environment a lick of good... I've seen two studies that explain why.
1. The carbon emissions in creating a hybrid and all the special components and the emissions from the required disposal later put them at a higher overall carbon usage in the life cycle of the vehicle than the production, use and disposal of some SUVs.
2. A recent carbon emissions study in the UK suggests people DRIVE to the grocery store rather than walk. It seems the carbon emissions from fertilizing, growing, harvesting and transporting the extra food you would need to eat to replace the calories you burned walking to the store are higher than if you just drove your car in the first place.
I ride my bicycle whenever possible. It's the alternative energy mode of transportation that I can afford and enjoy (weather & distance permitting.) Since I bought a decent bike, it has been a fun mode of transportation for many of the errands I used to use a car to complete.

Dimensions 129.92 In. X 94.49 In. X 0.16 In.
Quality rug at an excellent price. Highly recommend.
The pattern and color were very pleasing. The weight was good.
I like that the size was exactly the size stated. I love the color it is perfect for the office i also ordered every other size they had for purchase. This is a great buy for the price!
I used this rug on our deck all summer. It still looks like new.
I bought this rug for the patio and happy with it so far. When I opened it initially, the edges rolled up, but I laid it upside down and it straightened up in a few hours. Have yet to see how it withstands through the summer.
Darker than pictured. Darker Stripes. Nice quality, hoses off and withstands weather very well. I would have liked it lighter, but it is neutral and looks great anyway. I would purchase again or recommend it to others.
This is a very handsome, classy entry carpet. I like the subtle stripe in the sisal, gives it a designer feel!
"Hello can this rug be easily rinsed off and will it dry fairly quickly? Thank you"
It will depend on the temperature outside.
"Can this rug be easily cut?"
Hello Qkadeby, yes, it can be cut but any alterations will void the warranty. Thank you for shopping with us!

Growing up all over world and experiencing every angle of hospitality, Jimmy Burchett is the new venue manager of Boilermaker House in Melbourne’s CBD, part of The Speakeasy Group.
Jimmy and James first met at The Ugly Duckling in Richmond and today converse over topics as wide and varied as glassware design and the creation of memories to cultural differences and the application of creativity.
Brett Gibson, the venue manager of The Triffid, drops us a wealth of info today. As the first person who inspired me about hospitality, Brett pushed me to learn about foundational concepts like distillation methods and booze types, while I worked alongside him in my first bar job at Iceworks.
We look at everything from stage height to the expression of creativity and how Brett worked with Powderfinger Bassist, John Collins, to implement his vision and establish the venue we sat in to record.
James Rennell entered hospitality from a different angle to many of my previous guests – his background is in property. This means a unique perspective from a business background.
Hospitality lured me in too and you’ll find out why on the show today.
You know by now that I’m never afraid to get into deeper conversation. Mitch Wilson and I discuss branding, business, booze and much more on the episode today, ‘ Picking A Popular Pineapple Product and Proud to Peddle Plantation with Mitch Wilson’.

“Warde” is an urban installation located in Vallero Square, in the heart of Jerusalem, positioned at the entry of the main open market and a tramline station. It is composed of four 30-foot-high and 30-foot-wide inflatable flowers. This installation is part of the municipality’s effort to improve the urban space of the city center.
The existing square is in poor condition. Divided by the tramline into two urban spaces, with no supported program around them, and filled with inevitable urban facilities such as a waste composter and electricity substation, which a patchwork of ongoing landscape attempts to fix the incoherent environment couldn’t save.
“Warde”’s intention was not to fight the chaos, but instead to try and “tighten up urban space” to spread around such fantastic elements that would overcome the reality of the square on the one hand and on the other be able to stand for themselves in the unrealistic situation of Jerusalem.
Four giant flowers were carefully positioned to be in view from all around the square and from the market nearby. Each is separately inflated and reacts to the situation around it, so that whenever pedestrians walk by, the flowers inflate and open up and then deflate and close as the people walk away. If a passerby is looking for a moment of shade during the hot summer days, the flower will inflate and stay open until the person leaves. When the tram is approaching the station, all four flowers will inflate at once and signal the shoppers to hurry if they want to catch the tram. The urban space suddenly reacts to the people using it.
Are you sure you want to delete this placement from WARDE?

Welcome to the future, pretty ladies!
Jennifer Rock is delighted to have launched www.theskinnerd.com - the world’s first virtual skin consultation service. The site also features a comprehensive online skincare department store with access to thirty award winning and international brands.
Traditionally, consultations have been performed by therapists trained with one or two specific brands and in a world where no one brand fits all skincare needs, for many, this diversity is a key attraction of the skinnerd.com.
The online department store is exclusive to clients of the virtual consultation service and features a selection of hero and high performance products from 30 international and award winning brands.
It will offer customers the opportunity to avail of impartial advice, removing brand barriers while combining the best of ranges to create the perfect bespoke skincare regime with all products being couriered to your front door.
Since launching last week, www.theskinnerd.com has received a phenomenal reaction with thousands seeking consults with Jennifer and her team of Nerdettes.
The virtual consultations involve a thorough process whereby clients fill in detailed questionnaires and provide high quality images of their skin before their appointment with a Nerdette is made.
The client is then prescribed their ideal skincare regime with products hand-picked from various results driven brands. These consultation slots have proved extremely popular and have already booked up until October.
“It has been a positively outrageous success to date. We have a waiting list of over 500 people and have had to hire three new Nerdettes to support demand. I’m honoured, thrilled and excited to be assisting people from all around the world – from the US and Canada to Australia and Europe” said Jennifer, in response to her amazing new venture.
Jennifer firmly believes that a key selling point of www.theskinnerd.com is the ‘Nerd Network’ which all clients become a part of following their virtual consult.
The ‘Nerd network’ offers exceptional after care service. Six weeks after a client has had their initial consultation, their Nerdette reconnects with them for a follow up appointment to make sure they are satisfied with their prescribed skincare regime and are achieving their desired results.
Have you ever heard of anything so gosh-darn convenient? No, you have not.

Since there is no decency inside this group of people who have been giving a hand to the Taliban-like terrorist regime of Hamas, the truth must be said - they'll ignore everything that happened this week regarding conflicts, death tolls and terror attacks throughout the world, just to ram Israel.
So why didnt we hear from the Irish Left?
Because there were no Jews involved.
Last Friday in Lahore, Pakistan, 93 people were killed by Islamists.
Did this motivate anyone to start a thread?
So what's with the Irish leftist obsession about Israel?
No, you see the problem is that with Iran, Afghanastan and Pakistan it is hard to tell which side are the terrorists.
With the Israel it's fairly obvious.
Once again the supporters of Israel defend it by saying look, we are just the same as all the rest of the nutters around here, Hamas, Al Qaeda, etc etc.
Israel lays claim to be a modern western state, until it abandons that charade then it will provoke the ire of people in the West left and right.
Personally I feel that Islam and its adherents are a severe threat to Europe, but there can be no doubt that Israel is as much a threat to peace in the Middle East as any of the loons there.
The state of Israel has a duty to defend it's citizens. Whether you like the way it does that or not is irrelevant.
Err, the Irish left was very much against the war in Iraq which lifted the lid on this particular Pandora's box.
It was right wing Israeli supporting nutjobs who cheered it on.
Hans Blix is owed an apology.
Exactly but it still can't be irritated when the world starts to view them as part of the lunatic pie. I'm sure their counter parts in Hezebollah etc think exactly the same. Hamas gains its legitimacy thanks to the blocade, Hez. gain theirs from opposition to Israel in the Leb. while in Israel its leaders gain power acting tough against the first two.
If this whole Middle East business was simply amenable to solution, it would have been resolved decades ago. There is a contradiction, I think, in a lot of the oul' cant you hear piped out by many of us who live comfortable lives in relatively comfortable western democracies. "The Palestinians are much put upon", I hear you cry...and you're right. HOWEVER...I REJOICE IN THE FACT THAT ISRAEL ALONE CARRIES WESTERN SENTIMENT AND MORES IN AN OTHERWISE THREATENING AND MEDIEVAL AREA. I don't want to live under the mullahs who would tee me up and lop off my hand for some arbitrary crime. I abhor the Islamic view of women and I recoil from the whole prevalent notion of jihadism. I am not a fan of the DUP, but I'm certainly a flag-waver for the putative 51st State...Israel. Long may it prosper and have the balls to take on the fundamentalist threat.
I don't want to live under the mullahs who would tee me up and lop off my hand for some arbitrary crime.
I don't want to live under the Israeli's whose sniper's shoot children in the head.
I don't want to live under the Israeli's who would run me over with a bulldozer for protesting against there actions.
I don't want to live under the Israeli's who commit acts of piracy and murder civilians.
I don't want to live under the Israeli's who flout international law.
I don't want to live under the Israeli's who carry out assassinations and kidnappings in European countrys with impunity.
Does it ever occur to Israelis that many of us in Europe would like to think better of their country, and that we expect them to to have higher standards than those in force in some nut-job theocracy?
So saying "islamist nut-jobs are just as bad as us" doesn't really forward your arguement. In fact rather the reverse, I'm afraid.
Pathetic, the Mossad trolls have been reduced to listing the deaths from gang warfare in failed states to justify their crimes. Failed states that they together with their US Neocon allies spend much of their time destabilising.
The left require an enemy to exist and to motivate simple populations who need a good guy and a bad guy. Unfortunately they have chosen Israel - even though the oil sheiks and their moslem subjects would seem to make more sense as enemies.
But to appear more radical to the ignorant, they target the Israel who are basically europeans living in an area the size of county cork in the middle east and surounded by deadly enemies.
Where do you want to live? Under Hamas? Some left regime like China or North Korea? Ireland, where teenagers in care are left to their own devises and are murdered?
That cowardly excuse will never deter people from standing up for human rights or standing against apartheid.
Oh, a Mossad agent who lives in Jerusalem?
Again, the left really does use all it has - automatic for the prolatariat?
I think you'll find the US's next biggest ally in the area are Saudi Arabia.
One of the biggest Islamofascist country's in the world.
Remind me again, how many of the 9/11 killers were Palestinian.
Oh, none. 19 out of 22 were Saudi though. Effectively Isreal's allies.
Strange how sh1t works out, yes?
As I said hypocrisy in its full display.
Aren't you supposed to be in bed, or working on a new DNA model for your teacher?
O really? Where and when did you stand up for human rights recently?

NCR Apex offers you the flexibility to design disparate consumer-facing apps showcasing your brand while managing them centrally. Achieve peace-of-mind, freedom and flexibility – managing consumer applications across channels has never been so easy.
Enabling airlines and airports with passenger information and context to deliver a personalized experience, which is relevant, contextual, omni-channel and impactful.
Equipping airlines and airports with recommendations for offers and promotion targeting by leveraging passenger behavior and preferences across industries.
Many banks are looking to transition from the traditional silo systems processing transactions for a single channel to an omni-channel payments hub. With bank customers choosing the channel for a transaction based on their convenience, it is more imperative to consistently deliver transactions across as many channels as possible. To do that you need the flexibility in the transaction orchestration to recognize uniqueness of individual channels while lower the cost of ownership by sharing as much as possible. Once this is in place there is the option of further improving customer services such as to allow the initiation of a transaction in one channel and completion in another.
NCRs end-to-end IT Deployment Services are backed by a proven deployment infrastructure, ensuring that engineers with the right skills complete your installations on time and within budget. As a result, due to higher availability, your consumers will have quicker access to your newly installed equipment and software, providing a faster return on your investment.

Were NCR, and weve been shaping the future since 1884. A global tech company changing how people everywhere bank, shop, eat, and travel. Guess you could say we were a tech company before there were tech companies.
What really makes NCR different from other companies? Our shared values. We are leading how the world connects, interacts, and transacts with business because we do what we say we'll do and stay accountable. As a united team, we consider a wide range of perspectives in bringing courageous new ideas to the real world, making sure that everything we create benefits everyone we work with.

We never stop asking why, never stop improving, and never back down when facing tough challenges – even if that means changing. Our shared values are clearly articulated and explained below, but in the end, it's our actions—not our words—that truly set NCR apart.

Our 3DMark benchmark app for Android smartphones and tablets now includes a Vulkan benchmark test.
Games typically make thousands of draw calls per frame, but each one creates performance-limiting overhead for the CPU. Vulkan reduces that overhead, which means games and apps can draw more objects, textures, and effects to the screen to create richer, more immersive experiences.
3DMark Sling Shot Extreme is a cross-platform benchmark with results that are comparable across APIs. Use 3DMark Sling Shot Extreme to compare flagship Android smartphones and tablets with the latest iPhone and iPad models. You can compare scores from Android devices using OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan with scores from Apple iOS devices using Metal.
In the Android app, you can choose to run Sling Shot Extreme using Vulkan or OpenGL ES 3.1 or both back-to-back.
Sling Shot Extreme tests the full range of API features including multiple render targets, instanced rendering, uniform buffers and transform feedback. The test includes volumetric lighting, depth of field and uses Compute Shaders for post-processing effects. For more details, we recommend reading our 3DMark Technical Guide, which explains exactly what's being measured and how the scores are calculated.
The Vulkan part of Sling Shot Extreme requires Android 7.0 or later and a device that supports Vulkan. The OpenGL ES 3.1 part requires Android 5.0 or later and a device that supports OpenGL ES 3.1.
Please note that Vulkan drivers are still maturing. Devices that shipped with early Vulkan drivers may have stability issues in this new test. Vulkan performance on other devices may be lower than expected. Performance may improve with future Android OS updates.
When comparing scores across platforms, note that the test results reflect both hardware and software. APIs with low overhead, such as Vulkan and Metal, can deliver more performance than OpenGL ES even on devices with similar hardware.

If the mail is legitimate the originating server will, after a delay, try again and, if sufficient time has elapsed, the email will be accepted.
Q:18 What is the importance of SPF records in mail servers ?
Ans: SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a system to help domain owners specify the servers which are supposed to send mail from their domain. The aim is that other mail systems can then check to make sure the server sending email from that domain is authorized to do so – reducing the chance of email ‘spoofing’, phishing schemes and spam!
Q:19 What is the use of Domain Keys(DKIM) in mail servers ?
Ans: DomainKeys is an e-mail authentication system designed to verify the DNS domain of an e-mail sender and the message integrity. The DomainKeys specification has adopted aspects of Identified Internet Mail to create an enhanced protocol called DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM).
Q:20 What is the role of Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy (ASSP) in mail server ?

Far from active tectonic and volcanic activity, Wisconsin’s landscape lacks enormous relief – but that doesn’t mean its landforms aren’t varied and beautiful. Fairly level terrain in the form of flats bordering lakes Superior and Michigan as well as the floodplains of big rivers like the Mississippi and the Wisconsin is widespread, but some of the Badger State’s defining terrain features are hills and ravines – ice-molded or otherwise.
Glacial hills, ridges and depressions give Wisconsin much of its landscape character, given that Pleistocene ice sheets covered most of the state repeatedly. You’ll find moldings of glacial rubble from the Bayfield Peninsula to the Illinois border, but there are few better places to appreciate the workings of ice upon terrain as the north (dnr.wi.gov/topic/parks/name/kmn) and south (dnr.wi.gov/topic/parks/name/kms) units of the Kettle Moraine State Forest in southeastern Wisconsin. Here you can wander piles of ice debris in varying incarnations – esker ridges, moraine divides, kame knolls – and gaze down into the pothole depressions called kettles, left by residual blocks of melting ice. The more ambitious might extend their glacial tour by hiking larger portions of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail (nps.gov/iatr).
Southwestern Wisconsin is part of the Driftless Area, a distinct territory along the borders of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and a small portion of Illinois that escaped glaciation in the most recent Pleistocene ice invasions. The topography is thus sharper and rougher than surrounding, glacially modified terrain. Coulees dissect the countryside, and noble, richly forested bluffs shoulder the Wisconsin and Mississippi rivers here. Wyalusing State Park (dnr.wi.gov/topic/parks/name/wyalusing), at the confluence of those mighty streams, is a wonderful place to bask in some of the Upper Midwest’s most impressive scenery.
The Baraboo Hills constitute one of Wisconsin's most unique and arresting highlands. Their north and south ranges describe a ragged oval of tough quartzite, deposited as seafloor sediment some 1.6 billion years ago, buried, then exhumed by erosion. The heart of the Baraboo Hills is Devil’s Lake State Park, protecting the namesake lake dammed by glacial moraines when ice swept along the margins of the range. Here you can marvel at glimmering waters set beneath 500-foot cliffs footed with extensive boulder fields. The Baraboo Hills are also notable as one of the most extensive swaths of forest in southern Wisconsin, hugely important for migrating birds and other wildlife.
The flatlands of Wisconsin’s Central Forest are studded with ragged pillars of sandstone and dolomite – called castellated buttes – among the state’s most unique landforms. These erosional remnants once stood as islands and headlands in Glacial Lake Wisconsin, an 1,800-square-mile water body of the Pleistocene dammed by continental glaciers. Numerous examples can be seen from regional highways and rest stops and on some public-lands tracts. One of the most impressive, Roche-a-Cri, anchors a state park (dnr.wi.gov/topic/parks/name/rocheacri); you can climb to the crest for a broad view of the old Glacial Lake Wisconsin bed, as well as marvel at indigenous petroglyphs.
Like many glacially dammed bodies of water, Lake Wisconsin failed spectacularly, bursting through its confines and draining rapidly. The violent exodus of water to the Mississippi carved dramatic pinnacles, ledges and islands of sandstone in the Dells of the Wisconsin River, one of the state’s great scenic landscapes – and a hugely popular tourist attraction. While the town of Wisconsin Dells itself is a frenetic place of waterparks and other entertainment, a boat ride through the Dells quietly immerses you in their staggered formations and waving pines.
Ravines of impressive local relief and unique ecology cup many streams draining into Lake Michigan along eastern Wisconsin’s shore. These formed when the lake level was lower and creeks cut down through high lakeshore moraines to reach their mouths. Often fostering cooler, moister microclimates, these ravines are well on display in Wisconsin’s most populous area, Milwaukee County: You can hike them at sites like the Schlitz-Audubon Nature Center (sanc.org) or the City of Milwaukee’s Lake Park (lakeparkfriends.org).

Last night I went to bed depressed and in tears. We’re working on getting my son an official diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. He’s been through a bunch of testing, my ex and I filled out a questionnaire together and yesterday the Occupational Therapist sent an email with a summary of everything so far. It was a lot to take in. I felt so overwhelmed. And so inadequate.
As I lay there in bed I was hit with this realization. It’s so obvious, but thus far I haven’t been thinking much about the future, just about now. The realization was that my son will always be autistic. It’s not something that can be taken away. It’s not something that can be changed. With that thought came all these questions about how it’s going to affect his life, not just now, but years and years into the future. And of course, it made me wonder how, or if, I’ll be able to help him.
Luckily, my ex and I are pretty good co-parents. At least I think we are. But I still feel so overwhelmed, so inadequate and alone to be doing this as a single mom. As a single mom who deals with anxiety and depression daily. I don’t mean to complain. I am grateful for my blessings—they are many. I’m just scared. For my son, and for me.
One thing I always hoped was that if/when I had kids they would never have to suffer from mental illness the way I did/have. So when my daughter started exhibiting signs of anxiety when she was only eight my heart hurt so much. I knew what was possibly in store for her. People said she was lucky because she had me, and I could help, but I don’t know what it’s like to have anxiety as an eight-year-old. I don’t know what it’s like to help an eight-year-old who has anxiety. Luckily, it hasn’t been too debilitating for her. She has a lot of fear and I’ve seen her have full-blown panic attacks, but it doesn’t interfere with her every-day life as much as it could. At least not that I’ve seen. Of course, who knows what will happen in the future?
As a parent it’s always hard—probably the hardest thing in the world—to watch your child struggle. Almost a year ago, after a bunch of testing, I was told that my son (six at the time, now seven) was borderline on the autism spectrum. I had wondered, but there were certain traits he had that seemed to conflict with autism, so I simply hoped for the best. However, there are a lot of stereotypes out there about Autism Spectrum Disorder, just like there are about mental illness, and I’ve since learned that those traits of his do fall within the envelope of ASD. My son is incredibly smart, so I don’t worry about him academically, but socially he has so many problems. Whenever I ask him about who he plays with at recess he usually tells me that he plays alone. He doesn’t seem to notice or care—he’s used to going into his own world. But it breaks my heart. I’m sure kids look at him and see that he’s not “normal.” They make assumptions, not really knowing or understanding why he is the way he is. They make assumptions about who is and what he’ll do, not knowing that he really isn’t that way. Truth be told, he’s smart, energetic (maybe a little too much!) and so extremely loving. The other night, he slipped this note he wrote me under my bathroom door as I was getting ready for bed.
I know some people don’t want to bring children into this crazy world of ours, but children are amazing and strong and resilient. And my children are the greatest blessing God has ever bestowed on me. All I can do is pray that I’ll be able to help them and love them in the way they need. All I can do is hope that they learn and grow and become more from their struggles the way I have with mine.
I have wanted to write, but I’ve been too busy. I have written, but then I don’t think it’s good enough. Then I emailed my boyfriend about this experience I had and thought it would make a good blog entry. It’s about anxiety.
I work as a secretary at a high school and this morning a couple came in at 8:58 for a 9:00 meeting with the principal. He was still in another meeting and not in the office. So the couple sat down to wait. By 9:05 I was wondering if the secretary they had talked to when they came in was going to go get the principal. They did have a meeting at 9:00, and it was now five minutes after that. By 9:08 I was about ready to go get him myself because that’s too long to have to wait. 9:12 rolled around, and I couldn’t believe they hadn’t freaked out about the fact that the principal still hadn’t come down and no one seemed concerned in the least. I was about to freak out! My anxiety levels were going up and up, despite telling myself to keep calm and not think about it. Finally, at 9:14 the principal walked into the office, and finally, I was able to start calming down. Start—because it took awhile.
It sounds so stupid, doesn’t it? It didn’t even have anything to do with me! The couple sitting there seemed calm and patient, and even if they weren’t, I wasn’t involved in the situation, so why should I care? But time gives me so much anxiety. I hate being late. That doesn’t mean I never am, but I try as hard as I can not to be because I know that it will give me anxiety. And that’s what mental illness is. It doesn’t make sense. But it still is.
This is going to be a selfish post. A rant. Because I have to get it out or I might explode.
Every year I tell myself I’m going to help my daughter make a creative Valentine’s Day box for school. And every year I put it off and put it off until it’s too late and end up buying some generic one from Target. It’s her last year in elementary so I actually got with the picture this year. I hadn’t heard anything about Valentine’s parties yet, but every year my daughter has been in elementary she’s made her own box and had a party so I assumed it would be that way again for her and my son who is in first grade. I thought about what they liked then looked up ideas. My daughter loves dragons and my son is really into Sonic. So I found pictures online of Valentine’s boxes of Toothless and Sonic then asked my artistic ex-husband if he’d be willing to make them with the kids if I provided the supplies. He said yes, so over the weekend he made them with the kids.
So cute, right? And I was so proud of myself for actually doing it this time and in such a timely manner!
So yesterday, when I picked my kids up from school, my seven-year-old was in tears as he told me he’s not allowed to bring his box to school, that his teacher said if anyone brings a box they will have to keep it in their backpack because they are decorating sacks—sacks!—at school. I understand doing this for preschool, but everyone knows that once you get into elementary school you decorate your own box to bring to school—at least around here! I told my son I would email his teacher to see if there was any way he could bring it.
I sent the email this morning telling her how every year my daughter had been at that school (since kindergarten) she had brought her own decorated Valentine’s box to school, how my son had made the box with his dad, how excited he was about it, how disappointed he was when he found out he couldn’t bring it, then asked if he actually could bring it. The response I got back was that as a first grade (meaning the teachers) they decided on bags so it wouldn’t become a competition with the boxes. Cry me a freaking river! What first-grader even thinks of making it a competition?! I bet you all the money in the world that the majority of kids that age are only thinking of the excitement of dropping Valentine’s and goodies into their classmate’s boxes and then thinking of all the yummy treats they’ll be getting!
The whole situation frustrates me not just because my son is sad and disappointed that he can’t bring the special box he made (he’ll get over it, and hopefully it will teach him some resilience, which I’m all about) but because it’s the whole mindset of the world these days that everyone has to be the same or “equal.” What frustrates me beyond that is the hypocrisy of it at my kid’s school. It is an immersion school. The whole concept of immersion schools is inequality and the “uneven playing field” because not everyone who wants their kid in an immersion class gets it. Priority is given to those who already have kids in it and then it’s just luck of the draw—and if you’re unlucky, too bad! And students who aren’t in immersion aren’t given any other opportunity to “level the playing field.” It drives me crazy that they preach one thing, but don’t follow it.
Now, if it’s actually a matter of low income, that I understand. As someone who has lived at times wondering if I was going to have enough money to buy groceries that week and was only able to afford that generic box for my daughter because of the generosity of kind people who randomly brought us dinner one night or left a box of groceries on our doorstep, I get it! If that’s the case, why not send an email out to parents asking if they’d be willing to donate materials that those kids can take home? I’d be the first to jump in line to help with that!
It’s also ironic that in a couple of weeks the school is having a “kindness” week. Well, give people the opportunity to be kind! Let the students prove that they are kind rather than assuming they’re all going to be mean and make fun of each other’s Valentine’s boxes. I even asked my sixth grader if anyone ever made fun of her boxes and she said no. I asked her if she ever heard anyone making fun of anyone else’s box. She said no, that she only ever heard people compliment and say how cool someone’s box was.
And yet, they’ll stick to their guns. They’ll force the kids to use as little brain power as possible and force them to all be like each other rather than allowing them to use their own creativity and be proud of something they have made.
Okay, there’s my rant. Maybe I’ll feel a tiny bit better now. Maybe.
enticing me deeper into blackness.
Maybe I want to close my eyes.
Let the dark overtake me.
Being kind has almost become cliché these days. There are t-shirts, billboards and posts throughout social media, so I wondered if I should post about it, but it really, truly is important. One of the things I love the most about my eleven-year-old daughter is how sweet and kind she is. That is what people always say about her, and I would rather have them saying that than that she’s competitive, smart, talented, etc. Those are good things, too, but I love that she is kind.
Several weeks ago a teacher friend brought up a parent who had said some pretty harsh, unkind things. Sometimes I think people expect professionals to be immune. But we’re all human, we all have emotions, and we’re all affected. It made me think of times I probably hadn’t been as considerate or kind as I should have been. It reminded me of my daughter, and I decided to make an effort to be more kind.
The next day I was at a mall/shopping center in downtown Salt Lake City, about 20 minutes from my house. As I came up the escalator from parking I saw this huge Christmas tree already set up (it wasn’t even Thanksgiving yet). A man was attempting to take a selfie with his daughter who looked about 4. I smiled and continued walking until I noticed his wife, with a toddler, go up to them. I had a thought that I should offer to get a picture of all four of them in front of the tree. I almost dismissed it. What if they thought I was weird? What if they didn’t want one? It’s not like I was walking right past them—it would mean curving around, out of my way. Then I decided to just do it. Even if they said, “No thanks,” at least I was attempting to do something nice.
When I asked them if they wanted me to get a picture of all of them they both looked so grateful as they told me, “Yes!” The mom got the toddler out of his stroller and they stood in front of the tree. I took an adorable picture of this cute family. When I handed the phone back the dad, again, looked so grateful and told me, “Thank you,” like he absolutely meant it. It made me so happy! Several minutes later I realized I was still smiling. It was such a simple thing to do something nice for someone, and I was the one who was happy, smiling and feeling great. That’s what kindness does. It makes others happy, and it makes you happy, too. I know it might sound cheesy or cliché, but I really do believe this world would be a better place if we all practiced a little more kindness.

Transportation infrastructure funding remains a hot topic on Capitol Hill while legislators continue to bandy about ideas to satisfy a long-overdue highway reauthorization bill. Out on the rails, however, the railroads continue to lead by example.
BNSF Railway Company recently announced a planned 2012 capital commitment program of approximately $3.9 billion, a $400-million increase over its 2011 capital spend of $3.5 billion.
The largest component of the capital plan is spending $2.1 billion on BNSF's core network and related assets. The rail carrier also plans to allot approximately $1.1 billion for locomotive, freight car, and other equipment acquisitions.

Support for the $200 million project is expected to help create 1,500 jobs in Milwaukee County.
MADISON, WI. March 25, 2019 – The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) has approved awarding state income tax credits to support Amazon’s plans to build a 640,000-square-foot fulfillment center in Oak Creek—a project expected to create 1,500 jobs.
Amazon plans to build the $200 million facility in the Ryan Business Park at Ryan Road and I-94.
WEDC is awarding the company with up to $7.5 million in tax credits for job creation and capital investment for any investments Amazon makes in Wisconsin. The actual amount of credits the company will receive is contingent upon the number of jobs created and the amount of capital investment the company makes through 2024.
All tax credits are “pay as you grow,” which means the company must create the jobs and invest the capital before it can receive any credits.
This catalytic project will be the first-of-its-kind robotics sorting center for Amazon. The newly constructed 640,000-square-foot fulfillment center will be the flagship facility and will represent the company’s largest investment in Wisconsin, both in terms of capital expenditures and in terms of new jobs.
The Amazon associates at the facility pick, pack and ship small items such as books, household items and toys, a process that will utilize Amazon Robotics technology. This high-end technology helps speed up order processing times and increasing fulfillment center storage capacity.
Local and regional officials applauded Amazon for its commitment to grow in the region.
In addition to the 1,500 jobs expected to be created by the company in Oak Creek, an economic modeling study estimates the project could indirectly generate 792 additional jobs in the region. Those 2,292 combined jobs would generate nearly $3 million in state income tax revenue annually.
