Council bosses have admitted that details included in a planning application to refurbish Rochdale Crematorium are incorrect.

The application, submitted by Rochdale Borough Council for the refurbishment of the crematorium, stated that the crematorium is unable to process bariatric coffins - which hold people who are severely overweight - among a backlog of other issues.

However, when contacted by the Observer, the council admitted that details included in the application were "incorrect."

They said: "Rochdale definitely has the capacity to process bariatric coffins at Rochdale Crematorium."

They added that the planning department has now been contacted over the issue.

In explaining the need for the refubishment - a section which the council has not disputed - the application highlights the issues of equipment consistently breaking down.

A council spokesman said: Rochdale Council currently operates two cremators at Rochdale Crematorium, one of which is capable of processing larger bariatric coffins it is one of the few bariatric cremators in Greater Manchester, regularly assisting with cremations from neighbouring local authorities.

"And, we already have fully functioning cremulators and ash transfer cabinets at Rochdale.

We are also well underway in replacing Crawford cremators and Mercury abatement system with two further bariatric cremators; new abatement systems and ash processing equipment for our Rochdale site. Works are expected to be completed within the next twelve months.

Further cremation facilities can also be found at Middleton Crematorium, with similar ash processing equipment meaning we have a greater capacity to offer cremations for families who have lost loved ones than most other authorities in the area.

Rochdale Crematorium is the only crematorium out of eight areas to have not had its faulty equipment replaced, causing delays in cremations, the application says.

In 2011, Rochdale was one of eight authorities to have cremators installed by a firm which went into liquidation two years later.

The cremators have caused a catalogue of problems, frequently breaking down among other operational issues, according to planning docuements.

In total eight crematoriums fitted the cremators, and all authorities have now removed them and installed different manufacturers equipment, apart from Rochdale, council chiefs say.

As plans have been submitted to refurbish Rochdale Crematorium, it is hoped the cremators will now finally be replaced.

Cremation equipment usually has a life span of twenty years and Middleton Crematorium's equipment has currently been in use for over 25 years.

The problems at Rochdale have been compounded further by the poor quality of both the cremators and mercury abatement equipment.

As a result, the council must now to consider replacing the entire installation with proven equipment from a new manufacturer which will also be flexible to cope with anticipated future emission level requirements, and operate more energy efficiently than at present.

New cremation equipment makes up part of the proposals to renovate the crematorium.

The Leader of the Conservative Party in Rochdale has criticised the facilities, which sometimes require people to be cremated in Middleton.

Councillor Ashley Dearnley said: "I think it's really unfortunate if that's the case because people who live in Rochdale wish their families to be cremated in Rochdale, and not need to go out of the town.

"Often, they have to wait weeks and weeks which is unacceptable.

"We should make sure that the equipment not only works but is also able to deal with present day circumstances - people are bigger than they used to be.

"We should be able to handle larger coffins.

"I am aware there have been major breakdowns in the past.

"It's so unfair for the families and it's not good for our undertakers either.

"We need to make sure that our equipment is of the standard it should be.

"Middleton is always the fallback and it shouldn't be like that - there have been problems with Rochdale crematorium since almost the start of the equipment being fitted."

The chapel at the crematorium is also to be extended and refurbished, with a new waiting area created.

The crematorium, situated in Rochdale Cemetery, first opened in 1938 and has largely remained the same except for a small extension to the existing crematory, enlarged staff facilities and small book of remembrance building.

The facilities "therefore do not reflect those which are expected by visiting mourners in the modern day", the docuements say.

The building is not listed, but is situated in the landscape of the cemetery.

The area housing the existing cremation process is very restricted and requires enlargement together with strengthening works to the support slab, improvements to the electricity supply and replacement of the central heating boiler, according to council documents.

A new cremulator and ash transfer cabinet - which process the remains post-cremation - are required along.

Further improvements planned include upgraded accommodation for funeral directors on site and enhanced weather protection for mourners attending services between the new waiting room and the chapel entrance.

Also integral with the new layout will be facilities for those mourners wishing to safely view the charging of a coffin into the cremator, as required by some religious groups notably Hindus and Sikhs.

Whilst this cremator is fully operational it does not have mercury filtration equipment fitted, and therefore consideration will have to be given in the future to either replacing it, which may not be viable given the relatively small number ofcremations being held there, or removing it entirely, offering the opportunity to expand the chapels capacity and carrying out the cremations at Rochdale instead.

A planning application has now been submitted by the council to replace the cremators and refurbish the crematorium.

Due to a number of factors, we are enjoying one of the best sellers market of this millennium. Interest rates are still at historic lows, and the world is changing significantly due to COVID-19. People who are working at home and sharing their space with kids who are doing remote school have a compelling reason to rethink where they live. There is a notable exodus from crowded cities, and vacations have become staycations. Its a great time to move to the lake; therefore, its a great time to sell your lake house, especially since there is a shortage of available homes. You have very little competition.

For a lot of lake homeowners, once they decide to sell, panic sets in. Many of the homes built in the housing boom of the 80s are now outdated. The thought of renovating an entire home is quite overwhelming, so experts agree that you should probably start with the kitchen. Thats great, but what are the latest trends? Here are some guidelines on renovating kitchens in 2021.

Lets start with the good news. Homes that are more than 20 years old had enclosed rooms with doors. For several decades, open floor plans have been the trend and these chopped up homes have fallen out of fashion. Now, picture mom and dad working on their laptops while the kids are doing their remote schooling in the same room. The noise and chaos of that situation have reignited the need for doors that shut. There are still people who prefer open floor plans, but others are now seeing the value in rooms with walls.

Counter tops have evolved, too. For years, very dark Uba Tuba granite was in almost every house. Todays most popular counter tops are lighter with more of a marble look. In addition, granite is no longer the market leader. Quartz counters, which have come down in price, are more common.

Granite counters are carved out of quarries, whereas quartz counters are man-made by mixing crushed rock with resin. While granite is better for hot pots, it does need to be sealed and can stain. Quartz counters, because they have resin in the mix, are not good for hot pots. However they do not stain easily and do not need to be sealed.

If you need help deciding, the top selling quartz counter at Home Depot is Calacatta Gold. According to their rep, it goes with everything. The top-selling granite is White Springs. Keep an eye out for the next big trend which will be Ultra-compact counters. These do not have resin and are extremely durable counter tops. Unlike other counters that yellow and wear in the sun, Ultra-compact is ideal for outdoors.

Youd be surprised to see what a difference a refreshed coat of paint on cabinets and new counters can do for an older home. The average counter replacement job is in the range of $2,000-$3,000, much less than you might expect. Youll probably want an expert to paint your cabinets, so that price

will vary with the number of cabinets in your kitchen. Its worth the effort because this is one update that you will get back with the sale of your home. Good luck, and have fun renovating.

To minimize the spread of COVID-19, Gov. Andy Beshear today announced an extension of a special program for remote renewal of qualifying expired Kentucky drivers license and ID cards. The new official order grants Kentuckians access to renew or replace a driving or identity credential through their Circuit Court Clerks preferred mail-in or drop method.

The order applies to Kentucky drivers licenses, permits and state-issued identification cards that expired or will expire by June 30, 2021. Applicants who require driver testing performed by Kentucky State Police must successfully complete that step before renewing a credential. Up to now, the cutoff has been a Feb. 28, 2021 expiration date.

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken the lives of nearly 4,000 Kentuckians, so all of us have a responsibility to minimize its spread however we can. Mail-in renewal of drivers licenses is just one way to enable people to stay healthy and avoid crowds, Gov. Beshear said.

Those who qualify can apply for renewal or replacement remotely through the circuit court clerk in their county of residence. The lone exception is Fayette County, where all driver licensing functions including mail-in renewal have been transferred from the circuit court clerk to a new Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Regional Driver Licensing Office at 141 Leestown Center Way, Suite 125.

For residents of all other counties, check with the clerk as to preferred method, such as drop-off form or mail-in form. The forms can be downloaded here. Please note that there is one form for residents of Fayette, Franklin and Woodford counties and a different form for residents of all other counties.

Dont wait until the expiration date to renew by mail, Kentucky Transportation Secretary Jim Gray said. Plan ahead and allow sufficient time for processing. A license can be renewed up to six months before its expiration date. We want to make renewal as convenient and as healthy as possible.

The mail-in option is not available for REAL IDs or new standard licenses, permits and IDs, all of which must be renewed or obtained in person. Nor does it apply to commercial driver licenses or cardholders who have had an address change. Learn more at drive.ky.gov.

There now are 14 KYTC regional driver licensing offices Paducah, Madisonville, Owensboro, Bowling Green, Elizabethtown, Frankfort, Lexington, Burlington, Richmond, Somerset, Morehead, Prestonsburg, Columbia and Jackson. There also are temporary offices, operating by appointment only and with limited services, in Louisville and Catlettsburg. More regional offices will be opened around the Commonwealth as conditions permit.

First ministerial cabinet of Ivn Duque in 2018 / Presidency of Colombia

Since the presidential campaign, the now president Ivn Duque announced that he was going to work, for the first time, with a joint cabinet, that is, where half (or even more) were women, a commitment that he fulfilled when he appointed eight within his ministries : Culture, Justice, ICT, Education, Mines, Labor, Transportation and Interior, the latter one of the most important. But in February 2020, his cabinet became the opposite.

As La Silla Vaca analyzed it, this was one of the commitments that Duque repeated the most in the campaign, which Today it could be classified as a lie since of those eight that started, only two remain (ngela Mara Orozco in Transportation and Mara Victoria Angulo in Education). According to the Quota Law cited by the media, women should occupy at least 30 percent of the positions, but today they represent 27.78 percent of these. With the vice president and Duke himself, the quota would be 30 percent closed.

In January 2020, the president appointed Mabel Torres as head of the newly inaugurated Ministry of Science and thus women became a majority in the cabinet. For the first time in the history of the country, 10 of the 18 most important positions were led by a woman. La Silla recalls that even the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights congratulated Duque on the cabinet at the beginning of his term.

But the bliss didnt last long: in February of last year, Duque lowered the quota to nine when he sent Alicia Arango to the Interior Ministry and replaced ngel Custodio Cabrera in the Ministry of Labor, all this after the resignation of Nancy Patricia Gutirrez. But it was in June, four months later, when the parity ended. Duque appointed Diego Mesa as a replacement for Mara Fernanda Surez in the Ministry of Mines, leaving the list of women at eight and, later, leaving the cabinet with seven women when he changed the current Attorney General and then Chief of Justice, Margarita Cabello, by Wilson Ruiz.

But it didnt stop there. In December 2020, Alicia Arango left the Interior Ministry, replaced by her vice minister, Daniel Palacios, and Carmen Vsquez from the Ministry of Culture, who handed over her position to Felipe Buitrago. Currently, as of February 2020, there are only five female ministers, of 10 that came to be, while men occupy 13 headquarters.

La Silla also brought up that Duques idea of having permanent ministers throughout his term was not fulfilled with the 14 changes he has made and taking into account that of the 18 that started only five continue: Alberto Carrasquilla, in the Treasury and to whom the opposition has tried several times to remove from office; Jos Manuel Restrepo in Commerce, Jonathan Malagn in Housing and who accused of having plagiarized his thesis; Mara Victoria Angulo in Education and ngela Orozco in Transportation.

Finally, the media says that of the six administrative departments, only one has a woman as head and that of Social Prosperity, with Susana Correa. He also mentions that of 38 vice ministries there are only 10 women and in their 18 general secretariats, there are seven. The promise was not kept.

Patrick Galley & Cindy Galley and 12549 Cypress Island Way in Wellington (Photo via Redfin)

An executive at a Chicago investment management firm bought a waterfront spec home in Wellington for $6.2 million.

Records show Patrick W. Galley and Cindy F. Galley bought the newly built house at 12549 Cypress Island Way. The seller is Estate Homes By Stock LLC, a Florida Corporation tied to Naples-based Stock Development led by John Ferry, CFO.

Patrick Galley is CEO and CIO of RiverNorth Capital Management, an investment management firm based in Chicago.

Estate Homes By Stock LLC bought the land in 2018 for $1.2 million and began constructing the existing house that same year. Property records show the house was completed in 2020.

The home was listed in August 2019, before completion, for $7 million. The most recent asking price was $6.5 million in November. Carol Sollak with Engel & Volkers brokered the sale.

The 6,246-square-foot-house has four bedrooms, four full bathrooms and two half-bathrooms. The home has access to a lake in the back yard and also features two two-car garages and a pool.

Wellington is best known for its equestrian roots, with many properties outfitted with barns and practice arenas. While this house does not include any accoutrements for horses, Cindy Galley and the couples daughter are avid equestrians, according to the Barrington, Illinois magazine Country.

In December, Wellington equestrian estates sold to a family member of the founder of Cumberland Farms for $8.2 million, and to the president of a Brazilian software company for $12.9 million.

Climate change is bleaching and killing corals, but researchers from Michigan State and the University of Hawaii are investigating how some can stand up to a warming world.

Coral reefs are beautiful and diverse ecosystems that power the economies of many coastal communities. Theyre also facing threats that are driving their decline, including the planets warming waters.

This threat hit extreme levels in 2015, when high temperatures were turning corals white around the globe. Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii was hit hard; nearly half of its corals bleached.

Hidden in the aftermath of this extreme event, however, were biochemical clues as to why some corals bleached while others were resistant, information that could help reefs better weather warming waters in the future. These clues have now been uncovered by researchers at Michigan State University and the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

It was kind of horrifying, said coral biologist Crawford Drury, who witnessed 2015s bleaching event from Florida before joining UH Manoas Hawaii Institute for Marine Biology, or HIMB. Its disheartening to watch, but I try to think of it as an opportunity.

How this disturbing event became an opportunity is now clear thanks to a February 8, 2021, report in Nature Ecology & Evolution that showcases HIMBs stewardship and MSUs biochemical expertise.

The researchers discovered chemical signatures in the corals biology, or biomarkers, that are present in organisms that were most resistant to the bleaching. This previously hidden insight could help researchers and conservationists better restore and protect reefs around the world.

Usually, we think of biomarkers as signatures of disease, but this could be a signature of health, said MSUs Robert Quinn, an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. This could help us restore reefs with the most resistant stock.

Corals are symbiotic communities where coral animal cells build homes for algae that provide them energy and create their colors. When corals bleach, however, the algae are lost and leave behind skeletons that are susceptible to disease and death.

This symbiosis also plays a role in a corals resistance and resilience to bleaching, which HIMB was in a unique position to investigate literally. The institute sits right next to the reef, enabling experiments in real time.

The reef is about 100 feet away, Drury said. I could be there in 30 seconds.

During the 2015 bleaching event, researchers in the Gates Coral Lab at HIMB had tagged individual corals to keep tabs on them. Because most of the corals recovered, the team could follow them over time.

We think about it as a biological library, said Drury, the principal investigator with the Gates Coral Lab. It was set up by researchers in our lab who knew it would be very valuable.

Following the bleaching, the team compared and contrasted coral samples in the wild, noting how the organisms responded and recovered, making some surprising observations along the way. For example, neighboring corals could behave completely differently in response to high temperatures. One coral could bleach completely while its neighbor maintained a healthy golden hue.

To understand why, Drury and HIMB postdoctoral researcher Ty Roach, the lead author of the study, sent samples to Quinn at MSU. Here, Quinn and his team could thoroughly analyze the biochemicals of corals collected from this biological library using a method called metabolomics.

Im known more for my medical work, said Quinn, who studies the biochemistry of health and disease in humans. But Ive always loved ocean science. My background is in marine microbiology.

If the coral samples are the books in the library, Quinns lab used sophisticated equipment to reveal the biochemical language within. In particular, his team used tools known as mass spectrometers to understand what set resistant corals apart from susceptible ones.

The corals are completely different in their chemistry, but you cant tell until you run the mass spec, Quinn said. These mass specs are some of the most advanced technology on the planet.

Quinns team found that corals that were resistant to bleaching and those that were susceptible hosted two different communities of algae. The distinguishing feature between these algal populations was found in their cells, in compounds known as lipids.

The researchers metabolomic analysis detected two different lipid formulations. Bleaching-resistant corals featured algae that have what are known as saturated lipids. Susceptible corals had more unsaturated lipids.

This is not unlike the difference between oil and margarine, the latter having more saturated fat, making it solid at room temperature, Quinn said.

This discovery poses all sorts of new questions for researchers: How do the corals get these different algae? Is this difference unique to Hawaiian corals or can it be found elsewhere? How can researchers promote the growth and proliferation of resilient corals in a warming world?

Mass specs are such incredible machines and reveal intricate details of the chemistry involved. The biology is really the hard part. Quinn said. Were working on new grants. There are so many avenues to explore.

This initial project was funded by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation.

This collaboration has been a great opportunity to ask and answer questions, Drury said. Hopefully, were just getting started.

In the meantime, having this chemical information is promising for coral conservation. When conservationists reseed corals to help restore reefs, they can potentially select more resilient specimens.

We can use natural resilience to better understand, support, and manage coral reefs under climate change, Drury said.

Conservation biology has some of the more successful stories in modern scientific history, Quinn said, pointing to the resurgence of elk in Virginia and bald eagles in Michigan. Someday, maybe we can add corals to that list.

Distilled vinegar can be used for cleaning lots of things including windows and carpets.

With many of us spending more time in our houses than ever before, were all trying out new cleaning hacks.

And one product that always crops up with Mrs Hinch fans, is distilled white vinegar.

Diluted with water, distilled white vinegar is a natural cleaning product that can be used on areas in your home such as dishwashers and windows.

But vinegar is also very acidic, so you should avoid using it on certain surfaces. Check out our dos and dont for cleaning with vinegar below

According to window and door experts Pella Branch, you can make your own window cleaner by mixing one part distilled vinegar to ten parts warm water in a spray bottle.

Cleaning enthusiasts have long sworn by keeping towels soft with white vinegar.

Posting on her TikTok channel, user Mama Mila explained how swapping fabric softener for white vinegar makes towels "fresh and fluffy".

She told followers to set their washing machine between 40 and 60 Celsius before adding their usual liquid detergent and pouring in half a cup of plain white vinegar.

The mum then allowed the towels to partly air-dry before then throwing them in the tumble dryer.

"This will help softness and absorbency," she said.

You can also get rid of tough carpet stains using a vinegar mix.

Good Housekeeping advise mixing one tablespoon of liquid hand dishwashing detergent and one tablespoon of white vinegar with two cups of warm water.

Apply the mixture to the carpet stain using a clean cloth until the stain disappears.

If you want to give your appliance a deep clean, director of the Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab, Carolyn Forte recommends placing a large glass measuring cup filled with two cups of vinegar on the top rack.

She then says you should run the machine as usual without detergent or heat dry.

According to Real Simple, there are a few things that shouldnt be cleaned with vinegar - including granite and marble surfaces.
