Early mornings are typically the busiest times at the airport Mancha said showing up early is important because it is inevitable that some travelers won't have the proper identification when they arrive "Every day we have travelers who come to the airport who have lost their wallet have their purse stolen or simply just misplace their ID," Mancha said "We work with those travelers to try to validate and verify their identity we have one central location with whom we work to verify a traveler's identification we have over 100 people who don't have their ID we cannot guarantee that we will be able to verify your identity in time for you to make your flight." Travelers without a Real ID will be asked to step out of line to allow travelers behind them to continue on their journey "So if you don't have a Real ID or a compliant document or the equivalent and you need to understand that there are no guarantees that you will be allowed to travel," Mancha said "Key to everything is that every traveler know what they have and take actions to rectify the situation." Mancha said photocopies of documents will not be accepted by the agency digital version of a state-issued driver's license or ID card that can be accessed on a smartphone It must be the actual document that must be presented at the checkpoint," Mancha said if your state has mobile ID like Arkansas does people are able to present their mobile ID." Mancha said families traveling for vacation need to be aware of the rules for those traveling with them "We also remind travelers that the summer travel season is upon us with elderly parents and grandparents who travel maybe once a year it's important for people to remember that they will be required to present a Real ID," Mancha said "Travelers under 18 years of age are not required to present a Real ID but the adults with whom they travel or the person who brings them to the airport will be required to present ID." The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration is urging residents to come in and get the new identification cards and it's trying to make it as easy as possible "The message we want to share is it's not as complicated as you may think," said Scott Hardin "You can do it at any Revenue Office around the state; we've got 134 of them." Hardin said in most states you can go to the local Department of Motor Vehicles and they will mail you your Real ID in two or three weeks but the process is much faster in Arkansas we're one of less than five states where you actually walk out following your visit with your Real ID," Hardin said even if you wait until the day of your flight we can still get your Real ID issued and get you on that flight." Hardin said people can go to any Revenue Office or make an appointment at mydmv.arkansas.gov if they don't want to wait once they get there Some offices are opening on Saturdays to meet the demand and that takes us up to just over 800,000 active Real IDs in the state," Hardin said we've still got close to two million regular licenses and state IDs." Hardin said Bentonville's Revenue Office is the busiest in the state and issues the most Real IDs "I see why that's the case with the traffic in and out of the state and the business that area does," Hardin said Local Social Security offices and federal courthouses in the Western District of Arkansas will not be requiring a Real ID as of May 7 "The short version of this is right now there's not going to be a requirement for the general public to present a Real ID upon the deadline for federal court facilities in the Western District of Arkansas," said Chris Blevins of the U.S There are five federal courthouses in the Western District: Fort Smith "This is really considered public access," Blevins said made up of judges and representatives of agencies housed in federal buildings could vote to require Real IDs for entry to federal courthouses but Blevins said he doesn't expect that to happen Blevins said he does not anticipate Real IDs will be required unless there are extenuating circumstances such as a heightened security situation or high-profile trial going on at a courthouse but it's a rare circumstance," Blevins said Blevins said Real IDs will be required at airports and military installations that may have national security information or when comparing names on a federal watch list "The general public is not allowed in certain areas it's really not applicable here because the general public is just coming in to do business with an agency within the building so other than having to go through screening with a magnetometer those are allowed under the code of federal regulations to screen people for those courthouses Blevins said the Real ID requirement also does not apply to individuals selected for a grand jury or jury duty involving a trial A call to the Social Security Office in Fayetteville confirmed a Real ID will not be needed to go to that office the Real ID Act sets forth security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards The act prohibits some federal agencies from accepting licenses and identification cards from states that do not meet such security standards These purposes include accessing certain federal facilities boarding federally regulated commercial aircraft and entering nuclear power plants the federal government requires Arkansans confirm proof of residency legal presence and identity and Social Security number through the following documentation: Two proof of address documents such as utility bills or bank statements dated within the last six months Proof of identity: Current driver's license The Department of Finance and Administration encourages Arkansas residents to visit ar.gov/REALID before making the trip to the Revenue Office The website confirms the documents meet all requirements or specifies which document is missing The cost to obtain a Real ID does not differ from obtaining or renewing a regular license or ID It is $10 to transfer an existing expiration date on a license or ID to a Real ID While a regular license can be transferred state to state if someone moving to Arkansas wishes to obtain a Real ID he must provide the same required documents as someone obtaining a Real ID for the first time Department of Homeland Security Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration dfa.arkansas.gov/mydmv-service/real-id/ The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration provides an option to schedule appointments through this portal: dfa.arkansas.gov/mydmv-service/schedule-an-appointment/ The service is available at about half of the revenue offices in Arkansas If a person's preferred revenue office does not yet allow this service that person will have to wait in line.———————————————— nwaonline.com/realidquiz/ Ron Wood has

range of beats including city and county governments News | July 10, 2024 | By: a company specializing in irrigation systems has been awarded the project to modernize the irrigation systems of the La Laguna Irrigation Community The entire irrigation area is located in the municipalities of Baeza and Mancha Real (Jaén) on the left bank of the Guadalquivir River and north of the A-316 road which is the entire area between Arroyo Vil and Torres River The project includes three reservoirs for the storage of 1.8 Hm3 of water for which Sotrafa’s ALVATECH 5002 geomembrane has been chosen as the waterproofing solution The irrigable area is 1,209.50 ha of olive groves with localized drip irrigation corresponding to around 274 community members With this project to update the irrigation community de La Laguna with new water storage for the irrigation of its olive groves that avoids the main and essential use of the wetland of the natural park It would also allow an independence in the distribution and storage of water between both environments to allow the volumes of water available in the seasons where is where more rainfall is concentrated and therefore is when there is more water available in the river The aim is also to adapt and modernize the water transport pipelines to the different storage points by means of new pipe layouts to the planned reservoirs and the pressurized piping of the main canal or irrigation channel For the storage of approximately 1.8 Hm3 of water three reservoirs are proposed to guarantee the environmental viability of the existing Laguna Grande to allow a desirable autonomy in the irrigation of the olive trees of the irrigation community The solution chosen for this waterproofing is ALVATECH 5002 geomembrane a total of 185,000 m2 of geomembrane was installed on a 250 geotextile One of the main reasons for choosing the ALVATECH 5002 geomembrane is the 7.5 m width of the rolls which translates into shorter installation time and reduced costs Another major advantage of this width is fewer welds and therefore less risk of leaks and less time for testing together with the excellent mechanical properties of SOTRAFA’s ALVATECH 5002 geomembrane and RICAMPO’s extensive experience in this type of project has resulted in a successful project to modernize the irrigation facilities for the La Laguna Irrigation Community

Man of La Mancha hasn't been performed professionally in the UK since 1968 "This is a strange and statically staged production of an under-whelming show The first problem is the peculiar framing device that writer Dale Wasserman wraps around the action Cervantes (Grammer) is imprisoned by the Spanish Inquisition; while he waits his fellow captives put him to a mock trial for which he acts out scenes from his unfinished novel Don Quixote and to further cloud the picture director Lonny Price tries to put a nebulous contemporary spin on the dissent." "Grammer tops a peculiar grab-bag of leading performers Opera singer Danielle de Niese brings some much-needed spirit to the role of Quixote's adored Dulcinea while Nicholas Lyndhurst plays the squiffy Innkeeper with intermittent charm The rest of the large cast are bewilderingly under-employed and spend much time sitting idly around while the action takes place on a much smaller central platform "What director Lonny Price is trying to do at any moment is clear Most of the comedy fizzles out somewhere between the stage and the stalls Timing is off; there are long moments when nothing happens; some actors are badly lit; there's a pointlessly long and gratuitous scene where de Niese's Dulcinea is attacked and knocked unconscious by a group of men." Grammer is a naturally charismatic presence as barmy idealist Quixote and his singing voice has improved since his first musical outing in London though his breath control is still way off from bona fide opera singer De Niese as Quixote's love interest Dulcinea (alternating with Cassidy Janson) Her voice easily fills a huge space like this and she's also an incredibly expressive actor." "James Noone's old-school set design doesn't make a convincing arena for contemporary parallels: it's all naffly crumbling plaster with a flight of metal steps that set the whole confection a-wobble every time they're lowered." bringing an energy that's otherwise lacking from this dour production – even if it's grim to see it play out in a danced rape scene that probably wasn't okay in the '60s and certainly isn't now." "It's a shame that Noone's design is quite so grim and quite so time-consuming to get in and out of on its levered staircase Making the prison a contemporary one only confuses a conceit that already stands between us and the good stuff." leaving the scenes of sexual menace lingering more in the mind than the moments of hope Grammer is forever in credit for his years as Dr Frasier Crane in Cheers and Frasier but he rarely looks entirely convinced by himself here while Lyndhurst is better at the comic moments as an inn keeper than looking menacing in a black leather trenchcoat as 'the Governor' confused and sorely lacking a twinkle in its eye."

Instead of a show curtain Chin offers a giant iron gate not unlike the one from Peter Brook’s legendary Marat/Sade Edwards’s light plot captures the characters in warm specials accentuated with red and blue highlights leaving creepily murky areas on the sidelines as if the entire event were getting illumination from Chin’s high windows above and a subtle reminder that the phenomenon of officially-sanctioned terror remains very much with us The load of Mitch Leigh and Joe Darion’s score is carried by only seven musicians a choice that may or may not have been dictated by economy but proves inspired the Broadway numbers land with a genuine Spanish flavor castanets and tom-toms played up and brass muted And with musical stagers Marcos Santana and Lamos incorporating all manner of rhythmic claps and flamenco taps and Spanish poses The other headline here is lead Philip Hernandez The only man who has sung both Valjean and Javert in Broadway’s Les Misérables (though not at the same time) can be expected to deliver in the pipes department but it’s his command of the role that’s notable His Cervantes is genuinely world-weary and bitter rather than the usual expansive emcee and his Quixote actually changes over time taking on deeper levels of madness as the action progresses The performance’s intelligence is matched by that of Gisela Adisa as Aldonza who struggles with the high notes but not at all with taking the wretched scullery maid/prostitute out of the realm of cliché into full life I’d point to the inadequate emphasis on the prologue which sets up Cervantes’ effort to save his precious manuscript from burning by the other prisoners They don’t establish what’s at stake in the presentation of the yarn—is the cast too preoccupied with its expanded chorus duties to act the thing with fullest conviction?—so there’s minimal menace or suspense Lurking in the shadows as the cynical prisoner who plays Dr Clay Singer strongly registers the nihilism Quixote has sworn to combat Man of La Mancha opened September 29, 2018, at  Westport Country Playhouse (Westport, CT) and runs through October 13.

Its bid – the only offer – succeeded at a public auction Its initial €10,000 outlay buys all the land and most of the buildings Tzaneen says it also wants to acquire the terminal building and the car

Education-First rider redeemed after stage 1 gaffe Controversy erupts over Ruta del Sol sprint between Barbero and Modolo Modolo bounces back with well-calculated win in Ruta del Sol Modolo's lead-out train was flawless and his sprint perfectly timed and this time Boudat was nowhere in sight as he confidently raised his arms in victory it was Carlos Barbero (Movistar) just behind with Nelson Soto (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) in third Although a crash disrupted the peloton in the final 200m overnight leader Wout Poels (Team Sky) took no risks in the bunch sprint and sailed across the line safely to keep the red jersey by two seconds over Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana) and Tim Wellens of Lotto Soudal the peloton clearly enjoyed the slightly brisk temperatures and light breeze making quick work of the 166.1km route from Mancha Real to Herrera The four-man breakaway with Marco Minnaard (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) Hector Saez (Euskadi-Murias) and Oscar Cabedo (Burgos-BH) never got much of a lead thanks to the Team Sky train which shepherded race leader Poels along Cuadros claimed the first mountain points on the Puerto de Carcabiey with 64km to go moving up the classification behind teammate Luis Mas Saez got the better of the Caja Rural rider on the next ascent as the breakaway enjoyed a 2:20 lead 10km later the Direct Energie and EF Education First-Drapac squads came to the fore in the interest of their sprinters Thomas Boudat and Sasha Modolo Although Cuadros and Saez put in a panicked attack with 25km to go the peloton steamrolled past them inside 20km to go AG2R La Mondiale led over some gently rolling hills from 10km to go until Astana took over with 4km remaining the pace was furious as the lead-out trains fought for position but EF Education First-Drapac pushed past with 1.3km to go before a roundabout Direct Energie made another push for Boudat but Modolo had a prime position coming into the final bend and this time made no mistakes before the finish line the Italian threw

kilometres and their advantage has never exceeded 2:40 Although there are a couple of climbs between here and the finish the sprinters will expect another opportunity to contest the win at the finish in Herrera The pace was high in those opening kilometres as attack after attack failed to gain any traction though the action cooled once Minnaard and company broke away. Amaro Antunes (CCC-Sprandi) was a faller during those early kilometres and the Portuguese rider has been forced to abandon the Ruta del Sol The general classification picture is as follows today after Wout Poels' victory atop

and downplayed the idea that racing at the Ruta del Sol was a relief amid the legal wrangling over his salbutamol case. "It’s great to be racing not about tension or relief or anything like that It’s the start of my season," Froome said Froome also took a strange swipe at press coverage of his adverse analytical finding for salbutamol. "It’s definitely been hyped up in the media That seems a very

A report will follow here FC Barcelona continue their Copa del Rey journey on Thursday at 9.30pm CET with a trip to Bilbao Here’s the lowdown on the team they call The Lions The city of Bilbao is the tenth largest in Spain with a population of almost 350,000 although the ‘Greater Bilbao’ metropolitan area is home to getting on for a million people Bilbao is a highly industrialised city and its most famous landmark is the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao was one of the first cities in Spain to develop a football culture and the Athletic Club was founded one year before FC Barcelona in 1898 the rivalry between Athletic and Barça was probably the most intense in the country the traditional friendship between Basques and Catalans was reflected more and more on the football field as they were united against a ‘common enemy’ in the rising Real Madrid one of just three clubs never to have been relegated out of the first division And they are second in the all-time list for Spanish Cup victories (23) and fourth for La Liga titles (8) although they have not won either since their double winning campaign in 1983/84 Arguably this is because the club continues to observe the tradition (it has never been an official policy) of only fielding players raised in the Basque football system It is testimony to the quality of football in the region that Athletic have remained so competitive in the face of the ‘globalisation’ of football The club’s old San Mamés stadium was affectionately known as the Cathedral but it has now been replaced by a completely new facility on the exact same site The changes were all made without the team ever having to stop playing at their famous ground and were completed in 2013 Although the club is widely known as ‘Athletic Bilbao’ its own supporters always insist on being called ‘Athletic Club’ This partly dates back to the club’s earliest years when its greatest rivals were the now defunct Bilbao FC Atlético Madrid was founded by Basque players living in the Spanish capital which is why the teams wear the same red and white stripes But although the Madrid-based team has since adopted a Spanish translation the team from Bilbao still proudly maintains the English ‘Athletic’ name Athletic employs a similar membership-based democratic structure to that of FC Barcelona and Real Madrid something very rare in modern-day football which comes from the fact that the local church from which the stadium takes its name (San Mamés) honours a saint who was thrown to the lions by the Romans The club’s red-and-white stripes date back to 1909 when one of the players brought back a set of Southampton shirts from England meetings between these two clubs are about as historic as things can get the tradition between the two teams with the most titles in the competition has been more intense than ever They have crossed paths on an extraordinary number of occasions including no fewer than four finals this century the 1-0 loss at San Mamés two years ago was the first time Athletic were the overall winners in a cup tie against Barça since 1960 But Barça certainly haven’t had it all their own way against the Basques in recent years Barça have won four of the last ten meetings Athletic have won three and there have been two draws Last ten meetings21/08/21 (LIGA): Athletic 1-1 Barça 17/04/21 (COPA DEL REY): Athletic 0-4 Barça31/01/21 (LIGA): Barça 2-1 Athletic17/01/21 (SPANISH SUPER CUP): Barça 2-3 Athletic06/01/21 (LIGA): Athletic 2-3 Barça23/06/20 (LIGA): Barça 1-0 Athletic06/02/20 (COPA DEL REY): Athletic 1-0 Barça16/08/19 (LIGA): Athletic 1-0 Barça10/02/19 (LIGA): Athletic 0-0 Barça29/09/18 (LIGA): Barça 1-1 Athletic Athletic got off to a reasonably good start in La Liga although after a spell of eight consecutive games without a single win things have picked up a bit in the last month or so where they beat lower league Atlético Mancha Real 2-0 That bye was due to their participation in the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia where they came from behind to beat Atlético Madrid and earn a place in Sunday’s final Most capped internationals: Iñigo Martínez (Spain Top scorers 2021/22 (all competitions): Iñaki Williams (5) Marcelino García Toral played for Sporting Gijón and has also managed a wide variety of different teams Villarreal and Valencia before accepting the job in Bilbao in January of 2021 In a total of 19 league meetings with Barça at these different clubs although his sides did defeat the blaugrana in the 2019 Copa del Rey Final (Valencia) and the 2021 Spanish Super Cup Final (Athletic) El sitio web de la UCLM utiliza cookies propias y de terceros con fines técnicos y de análisis pero no recaba ni cede datos de carácter personal de los usuarios puede haber enlaces a sitios web de terceros con políticas de cookies distintas a la de la UCLM que usted podrá aceptar o no cuando acceda a ellos Puede obtener más información en la Política de cookies.

However the idealist was also known for his interest in community development Over two decades ago Leigh purchased 900 acres in Jackson Township along the Route 195 corridor in hopes of constructing what he called America's only arts-sports-residential community that he named  Jackson Twenty-One  where only nice people need apply Jackson Township Mayor Mike Reina said he's saddened by Leigh's death He descibes the 86-year-old composer as a "complete gentleman" according to Reina."He was very generous to not only the arts but he was generous to the community and those who needed him," Reina said Anonymous where he would make donations to fundraisers." Reina also said that Leigh was close to realizing his dream because he was just months away from receiving approvals for the Jackson 21 development "It's a mixed use community where there's shops streets paved with cobblestones with no vehicles you can walk through and shop and just go around to the out door amphitheater," Reina said calling it a great mix for Jackson Township with some accusing Leigh's company of planning to sell off the land to developers who will turn Jackson into Lakewood-west "We allowed the application to come in like we would any other and treated it without prejudice and it turned out to be something beautiful and once the welcome center is up and running not only the naysayers but the people who couldn't wait and still can't wait for it to be built can finally see what his intentions were," Reina explained The Jackson 21 Welcome Center is still scheduled to open this Spring Mayor Reina said he plans to help Leigh fulfill his dream of constructing the diverse 'green village' where only 'nice' people live Any other details will have to wait according to Reina who's reserving additional comments about the project until he hears from member's of the Leigh Realty Company that manages the project Leigh is survived by his wife Artist Abby Leigh and their two children He also has a son Andy from a previous marriage A memorial service was held for Leigh Monday afternoon in Manhattan Broadway theater marquees will dim in his honor for one minute at 7:45 p.m Tony award-winning Broadway composer and developer Mitch Leigh died of pneumonia and complications from a stroke in New York Sunday, according to his assistant in an Associated Press report Monday.\nRead More Over two decades ago Leigh purchased 900 acres in Jackson Township along the Route 195 corridor in hopes of constructing what he called America's only arts-sports-residential community that he named  Jackson Twenty-One  where only nice people need apply Reina also said that Leigh was close to realizing his dream because he was just months away from receiving approvals for the Jackson 21 development The Jackson 21 Welcome Center is still scheduled to open this Spring is up for auction: starting price €100m (£86m) bearing in mind that it cost €1bn to build is in mint condition as it has barely been used and boasts a runway long enough to land an Airbus 380 The catch is paying off the outstanding €529m debt Creditors include a variety of savings banks (€233m) Air Nostrum (€2.6m) and Air Berlin (€1.8m) Local residents whose property was compulsorily purchased to build the airport are claiming a further €106m but not before it had handed out multimillion euro payoffs to its directors The judge in charge of administering the bankrupt airport has ordered that it be auctioned in order to meet its debts it will go to private auction with a €80m reserve price and after that those running the auction will be the first to be paid followed by the 71 airport workers who were made redundant The airport is one of the most egregious examples of the excesses of Spain's building boom and the vainglory of the local political barons who jealous of Bilbao's emblematic Guggenheim Museum plundered the savings banks to build cultural centres high-speed rail networks and airports without pausing to carry out a feasibility study The administrators of the airport say that its proponents "never carried out an investment analysis" nor did they produce a realistic business model and "produced a financial plan that was not based on any studies of the market or of demand that would justify the anticipated traffic." Ciudad Real has a population of just 75,000 and many Spaniards would have trouble finding it on a map latest figures from the national statistics office show that 2,408 Spanish companies filed for bankruptcy in the second quarter of this year In the period January to June 5,069 bankruptcies were registered Some 29.1% were businesses related to construction and 18.4% were in the energy or other industrial sectors The number of bankrupted family businesses has fallen The rumor mills are running full throttle as a lot of transfer news surfaces. The clock is ticking. The season is quickly approaching its business end and right afterward the summer transfer window kicks open. Most European clubs are ready with their plans for the summer and Real Madrid, too There are a few problem areas in the squad that does need attention viz These positions require immediate reinforcements and it’s interesting to look at some players from Real Madrid’s rival clubs who could end up being a perfect fit for Los Blancos’ squad Here are the five players I’d love to have at Real Madrid from Rival Clubs The first player on this list is from the Lions of the Basque Country Athletic Club of Bilbao is the only other team alongside the big two of Spanish Football that has never been relegated from the top flight It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Athletic Club was a bigger thorn for Real Madrid in the early days of Spanish Football than any other side The two sides met numerous times in the Copa del Rey and every meeting continues to be fiery Real Madrid had to face Athletic Club four times and one win in the finals of the Spanish Supercup Los Leones won the last one and knocked Real Madrid out of the Copa del Rey as the fixture is commonly known is always a mouthwatering one The rivalry also symbolizes the socio-political struggles of the Basque regions for Independence The player I am picking from among the lions is a young talent Nico Williams is a great up-and-coming right-winger and could be a great fit for Real Madrid He has made a habit of impacting big games and that is the sort of mentality Real Madrid is always after Real Madrid needs reinforcements on the right and is close to signing their target-man Kylian Mbappe As such a quality backup like Nico Williams could be the player to go after for Real Madrid the 19-year-old is making a habit of influencing big games He scored two in the Copa del Rey Round of 32 game against Atletico Mancha Real and then scored a worldie to win the semifinals of the Supercup against Atletico Madrid He also assisted the opener for Iker Muniain in the Copa del Rey Round of 16 game against FC Barcelona He has also looked promising in his appearances off the bench in LaLiga He is surely the one Athletic Club player whose transfer to Real Madrid would make the most sense © 2025 Minute Media -

As I explained in the previous slide, Mbappe has been a prime catalyst in fueling the rivalry between Real Madrid and PSG in recent times. And, he could very well fuel it further by refusing blank-cheque offers from the French club. There are all sorts of rumors flooding the Real Madrid-Kylian Mbappe story Some say there has always been a verbal agreement some say a pre-agreement has already been made One common thing has been the optimism about Kylian Mbappe joining Real Madrid at the end of the season in a free transfer The way he has been refusing alluring contract extensions and learning Spanish are encouraging signs Kylian Mbappe is the closest thing to a perfect forward at this point in time in World Football He is good on either wing and can handle that center-forward position as well He already has 19 goals and 14 assists in 32 appearances in all competitions for PSG this season While most of his appearances have been in the center-forward position he has performed relatively better on the left-wing for PSG 3 Real Madrid players who must step up with Kroos out vs Write for us! he is that one player from a rival club I’d love the most to join Real Madrid as soon as possible Atlético MalagueñoMalagueño will play at La Rosaleda on Sunday 2nd Atlético Malagueño will play the matchday 4 fixture of Tercera Federación Group IX against CD Torreperogil, on Sunday 2nd October at La Rosaleda Stadium (16:30).
