April and May are giveaway months! This week we are giving away a Firefly-themed poster and some awesome postcards from author Chris-Rachael Oseland, she of the Kitchen Overlord. To enter, simply fill out the comment form telling us what you’re geeky about. Winner will be randomly drawn and announced Wednesday, April 29. Enjoy!
I’m a web services/multimedia librarian, so I have a lot to geek out about. Recently, I’ve been thinking of imaginary action figures from shows that would have no business making them. For instance, I think it would be great to have Richard from Boardwalk Empire to have removable half-face or a (zombie) Catelyn Stark from Game of Thrones. On this theme of HBO programming, I think it would be neat to have an Omar from the Wire action figure.
I’m totally geeky about children’s books! I could re-read “The Boxcar Children” and “Madeline” series monthly!
I also LOVE fashion blogs (specifically Tom and Lorenzo)!
Hi, I’m a librarian at a small elementary school. I geek picture books, especially true stories and legends about the Christian saints.
My teens and I are still loving Doctor Who. Chris Pratt is adorable. And let’s not forget the glory that is John Barrowman!
I’m a public librarian. I’m a geek of many fandoms (from Star Wars to Firefly to Tolkein to Harry Potter) and proud of it. I’m working on a “May the Fourth” display right now to share my geekery with our patrons.
using a random picker, Elizabeth Land is our winner!! Don’t worry, we’ve got many more giveaways coming soon! | 2019-04-19T02:36:28Z | https://theoutreachlibrarian.com/2015/04/23/giveaway/ |
The construction project would continue to focus on employing locals.
Upgrade: Dairy cows on the way to one of the dairy operations at Moon Lake's Woolnorth property.
Dairy farming giant Moon Lake will spend $2.7 million upgrading one of its major operations at the Woolnorth property in the far North-West.
The existing 50 bail rotary at the farm known as The Gums will be replaced with a new 60 bail rotary platform, expanding the dairy’s potential by about 20 per cent.
Moon Lake managing director Sean Shwe said the construction project would continue to focus on employing locals, consistent with the commitments made in the past.
Daviesway has won the tender, with local contracts to be engaged for the building of laneways, effluent systems and new fences, associated with the modernisation of the dairy shed.
“We selected Daviesway due to the team’s commitment to working with local businesses and the quality and competitiveness of its products,” Mr Shwe said.
Mr Shwe said the Gums Dairy project is an example of Moon Lake’s commitment to the VDL Farms enterprise, and is part of his company’s commitment to invest $100 million over five years on its Tasmanian operations.
“The company spent $6.3m in capital expenditure in 2016, with a further $6.6million in capital committed in 2017,” he said.
The Gums Dairy is a 1000 milking cow farm and spring calving farm. | 2019-04-24T23:57:52Z | http://adf.farmonline.com.au/news/magazine/equipment-and-technology/general/big-upgrade-for-vdl-dairy/2755781.aspx |

Eating and drinking during the past 10 years much less increased in price than other items.
Foods were 9 percent more expensive, while inflation in this period more than 18 percent. This is evident from an analysis of ING Economics Department, on Thursday published.
A household gives monthly average of 300 euros on food, says ING. That’s 10 percent of the total budget.
Meat, fish, milk, cheese, eggs, oil, butter, fruit, vegetables and potatoes are all now about 10 percent higher than in 2001. Sugar, confectionery and ice costs just as much as ever. Bread was 15 percent more expensive.
Food prices in the shop the last few years have increased more rapidly due to rising food prices on the world market. But the shopkeepers calculated the costs only partly through, possibly for fear of losing customers. Due to the economic downturn consumers look at the extra price.
The fierce competition between supermarkets according ING Economics Department puts a brake on price increases. The supermarkets benefited moreover that labor costs rose less by the economic downturn. | 2019-04-19T21:06:03Z | https://foreignerlife.com/2012/12/03/food-and-drink-relatively-little-increased-in-price/ |
RBL, or DNSBL, stands for "Real-time Black List," and are most often used to publish the addresses of computers or networks linked to spamming, malware, or other abuses which system administrators may want to block from accessing their networks.
There are hundreds of RBLs in existence, which use a wide array of criteria for listing and delisting of addresses. These may include listing the addresses of zombie computers or other machines being used to send spam, listing the addresses of ISPs who willingly host spammers, or listing addresses which have sent spam to a honeypot system.
If the IP addresses of your servers appear on these RBLs, there's a good chance you'll have difficulty interacting with networks that subscribe to these RBLs. For instance, if your SMTP server is listed, you'll likely be unable to send email to anyone who's SMTP server uses the RBL you are listed on.
Each RBL provider determines which IP addresses are on their RBL and what hoops you must jump through to get delisted. NodePing does not provide delisting services. We only provide monitoring and alerts to let you know if your hostnames and IP addresses appear in the RBLs. Below is the list of RBLs we test along with links to help you get your IP addresses delisted.
RBL checks should be run for all servers that send email - including SMTP and web servers - on at least a daily basis. RBL check can test any ipv4 address or FQDN.
Select RBL from the Check type drop down.
Set how often you want the check to run on the Check Frequency field. Every 15 minutes to once a day is recommended.
Set the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) you want to test in the field marked Host Name or IP to check:.
If you would like to ignore the results from certain RBLs, type the names of the RBLs separated by commas in the Ignore these RBL's: field.
Set the Sensitivity. Very High is usually appropriate as rechecking yields the same results.
To ensure your email isn't rejected or automatically marked as spam, It is highly recommended you test your SMTP server by entering the name or IP address in the Host Name or IP to check: field.
RBL Check frequency of more often than 15 mins isn't recommended. Most RBL services only update their lists once an hour.
Currently only IPv4 addresses are supported. | 2019-04-21T02:24:51Z | https://nodeping.com/rbl_check.html |
Former De Witt Clinton High star Nate “Tiny” Archibald condemned the NCAA yesterday for prohibiting under-privileged high school basketball players from accepting tuition contributions from AAU coaches and friends to attend prep schools.
Archibald, one of the city’s best all-time point guards, said the NCAA’s rules unfairly restrict high schoolers’ education.
Archibald’s comments came in the wake of the NCAA’s recent one-game suspension of St. John’s star Erick Barkley. A former Christ the King (Queens) star, Barkley was punished after the NCAA learned that Ernie Lorch, a key figure in the Riverside Church basketball program, paid over $3,000 of his tuition when he attended Maine Central Institute.
MCI attracts some of the nation’s top fifth-year high school players who need to improve their grades in order to meet NCAA requirements and be allowed to play as a freshman.
Archibald, who turns 52 next month, is on sabbatical from his teaching job at P.S. 175 in The Bronx, where he grew up and still lives. In the meantime, the 6-foot-1 lefthander is scouting for the 76ers.
After graduating from Clinton, Archibald played for a junior college in Arizona before starring for Texas Western, which is now called Texas-El Paso. After a few seasons in the NBA, Archibald said he resumed his education while still playing and earned his college diploma.
Archibald, who played in the NBA from ’70-’84, regularly attends high school and college games throughout the metropolitan area. He said he is strongly opposed to high school players jumping straight to the NBA.

I was on a ride the other day, and drifted into an area where I /apparently/ had not downloaded some needed map, because I looked down one time and saw a blank "map". That was OK, because I knew where I was. I stopped soon after, and happened to look at the map, and it had details. I didn't think much of it. Then later, I got a data limit warning on my phone, I set it so that I'd be aware of approaching my data plan limits. I have selected not to use the phone for background, and to use wi-fi. But I GUESS that because GaiaGPS was active, it was OK for it to download data. I can't "turn off" the phone!! How do I prevent GaiaGPS from using my data plan, unless I specifically permit it? This same question may apply to iOS as well.
I'm sorry Gaia GPS started using your data plan to load maps. Setting your phone to airplane mode will ensure that the app does not use data while in use on both Android and iOS.
Unfortunately, Android devices don't have a setting to turn off apps from using data while in the foreground. You can either run Gaia GPS in Airplane mode or download a 3rd party app that prevents apps from using data.
Thanks for the tip. I was not aware of all that :-( I tinkered with Airplane, and now feel familiar. I moved an airplane icon to my status bar to make it easier. However, it occurs to me that this also kills my phone, which is not such a good idea.
So I looked into 3rd party solutions, and found a lot of discussion on the web. Apparently there is a lot of interest in such a feature. I installed NetGuard, but will need some time to evaluate. Thanks for point me there. | 2019-04-18T19:29:46Z | https://help.gaiagps.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360026141773-Android-GaiaGPS-using-data-plan |

Vintage Computer Forum > Completely off Topic > General Off Topic > Ventrilo Server?
View Full Version : Ventrilo Server?
I was thinking, maybe I could fix up of one of my computers & host a Ventrilo server on it. If I did, would anyone use it?
Ummmn, I'm currently unable to take advantage of Vonage, etc, because they require a land-based (i.e. LL) fone line, and I have used cellular exclusively for several yearz now. If a LandLine is required, I won't be able to uze it.
Anyways, could anyone help me out w/ my PSU problems? I haven't used this computer in about 2 weeks, & now, whenever I try to turn it on, It goes on for a fraction of a second (just enough to move the CPU fan 1-2 revolutions), as if I where exceeding it's power limit or something! I even pulled out my not-working PCI video card & unplugged a fan!
Bad power button? Locate the pins for the power switch, and hold a screw driver across them. Also sounds like something may be shorting out, check all of your connections.
Ventrilo's okay, but I prefer Teamspeak because there are plenty of public servers. We could just pick one, create a channel and set a time to get together (which might be tricky since we're scattered across the planet).
Isn't that the second time you've burned up a PSU? Ever thought about investing in a UPS or nicer Surge Protector? | 2019-04-18T22:55:21Z | http://www.vcfed.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-4041.html?s=9dd232e95a525b4df60a05bab42875fb |

Scientists of NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) have found a rare new species of octopus about 4 kilometers or 2 miles deep in Pacific Ocean. Unlike other octopods, this one does not have any pigment cells and looks completely white and translucent. It has been named “Casper” after the ghost in the movie “Casper The Friendly Ghost”.
Michael Vacchione, one of the scientists of NOAA said that it is most certainly a new species of octopus. Sea octopuses are of two types cirrate or octopuses with fins are found in deep waters and incirrate or octopuses without fins are shallow water octopods. But Casper is incirrate and according to Michael Vecchione this is the deepest sigting of an incirrate octopus. | 2019-04-21T04:48:19Z | http://www.ulpnet.com/2016/03/06/new-species-of-octopus-casper-found-in-pacific-ocean/ |
Apple is reportedly shifting around iPhone XR orders amongst its manufacturing partners to ensure production issues don't cause supply constraints when the smartphone officially launches late next month.
Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty cautioned in July that Apple's 6.1-inch LCD iPhone would not launch until October because of issues with backlight leakage, although it's not clear whether the latest LCD supply constraints are down to the same problem.
The iPhone XR starts at $749 in the United States. The October launch means Apple will likely lose a few sales to customers this month who are interested in a new iPhone but don't want to pay several hundred dollars more for the iPhone XS and XS Max, which start at $999 and $1,099, respectively. Because of this, Huberty saw Apple delivering a "slightly weaker-than-consensus September quarter."
Global shipments of Apple's new iPhone lineup are expected to exceed 85 million units in the second half of the year, with the more budget-friendly iPhone XR expected to account for over half of all sales.
Apple's lower-spec iPhone XR features an edge-to-edge "Liquid Retina" LCD display with wide color and True Tone support, and the same all-screen design as the OLED-based iPhone Xs and Xs Max, but with an aluminum frame instead of stainless steel.
You can't even watch 1080p YouTube on it!
Actually you are incorrect. He has claimed in that video the iPhone xr has the same resolution as the iPhone 4. Which is categorically false and misleading.
You realize in the video he has confused ppi and resolution and is using them interchangeably...right?
That’s not accurate because ppi and resolution are two separate metrics and cannot be used interchangeably.
The xr also has the same ppi as the iPhone 6/6s/7/8 and has a higher ppi then the pads even though the iPads have much higher resolutions compared to the xr,8,7,6s,6,4s and even your s7.
The iPads have lower ppi but higher resolution... your argument kind of falls apart here.
It not only surpasses your s7 but crushes the s9 and note 9 as well in hardware and price.
But you keep focusing on only one metric of the display, resolution.
No one else will, enjoy your device.
Ps: your wrong about that as well, xr can play 1080p video on YouTube, don’t take my word for it, you can ask anyone with an iPhone 6/6s/7/8.
This will be Apple's top selling iPhone during the Christmas season. I cannot wait to get the red version of it.
Yep, those displays are hard to acquire for Apple.
No one is making 720 displays anymore.
But it falls right in line with the "show an artificial demand" school of Apple.
The exclusion of 3D Touch baffles me. I mean all the cheaper iPhones (7 and 8) have it, so it is weird that this new model lacks it. Hope to see a tear down onepce it is released so we can see if the exclusion is warranted or not.
Having said that, if the trade off is less battery (like the 6S), I rather have it gone then.
Even if I lost a bit of battery I’d be happier if it included 3D Touch.
The XR is in an odd place… Cheaper than the XS, but bigger? It would make much more sense fitting in if this was a smaller device than the XS that replaced the SE.
Yes, as i repeatedly pointed out that’s all your doing, comparing one metric, resolution. You clearly do not understand the difference between ppi and screen resolution or how it’s used.
According to you the iPad with a lower ppi is terrible in 2018. That simply isn’t true.
not the amazing A12 chip that people are having issues with stuttering video playback with or poor LTE cellular and WiFi reception on the crappy Intel modems. .
Yes, again you seem to be reiterating my point.
Your only discussing one metric of the device, cherry picking if you will, and discounting the rest as a whole, prove whatever point you are trying and failing to make. Which your clearly not making at this point.
I have the device and I’m not suffering from stuttering video playback or poor lte cellular or WiFi issue.
In fact I have two iPhone X’s max.
One though is exhibiting the pink shift, but apple is in the process of replacing that one. Amazing customer service.
You can’t call the intel modem crappy just because you want to.
Btw. I need to correct you again, the intel modem has on WiFi reception, that was solved by a reset of network settings, or so I have read here on the forums.
I'm pointing out that you're not watching a full 1080 res video on the XR as there arent PHYSICALLY enough hardware pixels to do it, fact. It's compromised. Like watching 4k on a 1080p screen is a compromise. Watching a 1920x1080 video on a 1792x828 screen is a compromise.
Is that what your pointing out now?
And you can watch 1080p on the xr display.
It’s a bit confusing because you claimed otherwise a few posts up.
And there is no need for it in 2018 other than to drive people to buy the higher end model. Even 300 dollar Android devices have 1920x1080 screens as standard.
Do those 300 dollar devices also offer a 7nm soc with an 8core npu, nvme storage, 3D biometrics and edge to edge display without a forhead and chin?
But you keep focusing on screen resolution disregarding everything else the phone has to offer.
Were you even interested in the xr?
Yup no 4K at 60fps not p, I can’t remember but is there 5 min limit on 4K recoding on the s7?
Some posters were mentioning unable to record 4K at 60fps or even 30fps on the new note 9...so mileage may vary for Samsung users.
Again ask any iPhone 6/6s/7/8 user is they are able to watch YouTube content using [USER=417010]@1080p[/USER], their answers might surprise you.
Since there are a lack of 4K displays on mobile devices that applies to almost everyone, except Sony.
But consumers generally record at 4K to playback on their 4K televisions or monitors.
You seemed to have ignored everything else I have posted.
I'm discussing screen resolution, not the amazing A12 chip that people are having issues with stuttering video playback with or poor LTE cellular and WiFi reception on the crappy Intel modems.
I disagree, no forhead and no chin as well as edge to edge display makes it an all screen design.
Those android handsets that claim to be all screen also comes with a nasty chin.
Don’t think the s7edge is comparable to the xr or it’s display.
For me the only question is LCD. If that resolution is OK and I won't have an issues with pixels I will get it. Otherwise I stick to my 7Plus till next year. | 2019-04-19T16:55:46Z | https://www.macrumors.com/2018/09/25/pegatron-loses-iphone-xr-orders-foxconn/ |

I saw this a little over a week ago, and was going to present it, but I thought it might be considered too political. I decided to go ahead and present it since it isn't pro or con any party, and I'm a great believer in public transit.
NORTA (New Orleans) recently completed an approximately 500 foot extension of the Canal Street streetcar line to provide an easy transfer of passengers to several bus lines. They had been trying to do this for many years but ran into stiff opposition. About five years ago they published the minutes of a public meeting in which one person after another voiced his/her objections. It seemed to me that the resistance was well organized. Each speaker voiced concerns for safety (No details about what was so unsafe--at that time riders had to cross six lanes of heavy traffic to transfer.), and what struck me was that they all used almost identical wording in their objections. I don't know if this was a case like the ones in the link, but I'm wondering.
The search parameters are overly specific and seem to be looking for items that make opponents of public transit look like evil incarnate.
What I can not understand is the Koch brothers motivation for their opposition to public transit spending. Is it a general opposition to public transport, higher taxes, or the simple greed of opposing anything that threatens their source of wealth(the reduction of the use of oil based transport).
The article shows how the Kochs achieved their goal, to prevent the expansion of transit. Not does it say what alternatives were proposed. A vague reference to Uber.
One thing is the Koch brothers are indeed the favorite bogeyman of progressives. I dislike the demonization of people. Looking at their history is interesting(their father was one of the founders of the John Birch Society).
The Koch Brothers are a rallying cry on the Left. So anything that their name is connected with no matter how small their involvment will always be blamed for whenever the Left doesn't get their way.
Public Transit is a political animal today now that private ownership of it is gone. It has had its ups and downs in my home area and without state and federal government grants it would be quickly gone. No way the local voters around here would go for a sizable tax increase to keep it going or expand it.
Having said all of this, I personally believe George Soros is currently the most powerful unelected person this country has seen since the days of JP Morgan. I say that because both of them had tremendous influence on a political party and both basically picked a president they wanted.
The percentage of Americans that us public transit to commute has been relatively small and has remained so for a long period. Overall, approximately five percent of workers use it to get to and from work. Of course, the percentage is higher in heavily populated urban areas.
Most of the middle-class people I have known outside of NYC, i.e. Hartford, Melbourne, Dallas, El Paso, Austin, and Brownsville will not use public transit. They prefer the comfort, privacy, convenience, flexibility, and reliability of their personal vehicle. They are willing to pay more for their private ride, and they accept the slightly greater risks of driving.
I have ridden public transit since I was five or six years old. I still ride it when I am in Dallas, San Diego, NYC, etc. But I have had some really bad experiences on public transit.
Last week I took the DART Light Rail from Mockingbird Station to downtown Dallas. After sitting down, I noticed a puddle on the floor across the aisle. What is that, I ask a fellow passenger. Turns out another passenger had peed on the floor. It is not the first time that I have seen this sort of thing.
Two weeks ago, I was in San Diego. I rode the trolley from the Old Town Transit Center to Hazard Center, which is a small shopping area in Mission Valley. A guy that appeared to be de-ranged scared the hell out of some of us. We called the police but decided to get off before our intended destination. Whether the cops showed up is unknown. Riding with someone who appeared to have serious mental issues is not fun.
These incidents illustrate why most of the people I know, that have better options, will not use public transit. It is not the Koch Brothers that are the real threat to public transit. It is the nature of the beast.
PJST: What per-cent overall of the number of times you've ridden public transit have you experienced this sort of discomfort? And what per-cent of the times you have driven or ridden in a car and observed a very unfortuate incident or its aftermath even when not affecting directly the car you are using?
I drove cars 1954-1995, up to one year before moving to Israel. At 85, I know my reaction time is not good enough for me to consider driving. So I use public transiit. Public transit in Israel, while not perfect by any means, is far more universal that in the USA, which gives Senior Citizens like me the ability to access the entire country. I began using public transit, by myself, at age 8 in New York City and made my first solo intercity train trip, Washington, DC - Charlottesville, VA, at age ten. (A Mr. Eppler, a German Jewish refugee living in the basement apartment of my family's W. 85th St. Brownstone, had ridden with me NY - Washington.) In addition to NYC and its suburbs, rode public transit in New Haven, Providence, Boston, Concord,NH, Montreal, Toronto, Quebec, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnepeg, Seattle, Portland, OR, Sacramento, San Francisco, LA, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Denver, Colorado Springs, Milwaukee, Chicago, South Bend, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, New Orleans, Shreveport, Atlanta, Charlottesville, Richmond, Washington, Baltimore, Wilmingtonl, Pittsburgh, Lancaster, Philadelphia, London, Paris, Berlin, Heidelburg, Franfort, Genevea, Zurich, Bern, Milan, Rome, Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon, Porto, Amsterdam, Utrecht, The Hague, Rotterdam, Brussels, Ostend, Charlevoi, Gent, Antwerp, Jacksolnville, Orlando, and of course, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Kiryat Shemona, and I'd say less than one per=cent of the rdies had the kind of incident you describe.
You might be surprised. Voters here voted for a sales tax increase to support increased public transit. That tax then survived another ballot when the NIMBYs tried to get it repealed.
Now those same voters have voted out two politicians and keep filing law suites to stop the state's sudden fascination with building toll roads.
PJST: What per-cent overall of the number of times you've ridden public transit have you experienced this sort of discomfort?
The percentage of incidents is not what most people factor into their perceptions. One bad incident leaves an inflated, indelible negative impression on most people. And it is this impression that the people I know have about public transit in the United States that is the killer.
For all the money that has been invested in public transit in the U.S. over the past couple of decades, the results have not been overwhelming. For example, DART invested more than $6.6 billion in its light rail system. Yet it only recovers 16.1 percent of its operating budget from the farebox. It relies relies heavily on sales and other tax revenues to cover most of its operating expenses.
For all of its claimed virtues, DART ridership has been falling even though the population of the DFW Metroplex has increased significantly. Ridership on the light rail system, which is supposedly the Queen Jewel of the system, was down 2.3 percent in 2016 compared to 2015. The 2017 numbers have yet to be published.
I have been a strong supporter of public transit. I have used it for years, which is probably more than many of the people who extroll its virtues but seldom use it can say. But I have come to believe that attempting to force people onto public transit in the United States has been a costly mistake in many instances.
I think that most people will support mass transit but for people other than themselves. A person riding mass transit is one less car on the road which makes room for more cars. I really don't know what the answer is, but a city like Toronto or New York or London would not work without transit.
There are 6 different local governments in our transit system. They would have to all agree for a tax hike to take place. 5 of the 6 only get service in small corridor areas. There's no way there would be an agreed upon tax increase despite what happened in another place in the US.
That was my thinking exactly during the 14 years before I retired. I drove 48 miles to work in New Orleans, and although there was a van pool available right to where I worked, I was required to have a car available and sometimes had to work overtime with no advance notice. Although I couldn't use it, I figured a good transit service could take some of the traffic off the roads.
And outside of New York and possilby Chicago, Philadelphia, and Boston, that is the main reason for the expansion of public transit, including DART.
Apologies for leaving out Belgrade and Bucharest for use of public transit systems.
DART probably has taken few cars off the roads. Many if not most of the light rail users, as well as the express bus riders, drive to Park N Ride lots, where they get the train or bus. So, while they may not be driving as far as they would have driven before the implementation of light rail and express buses, they still drive at least part way to get to work.
For a substantial number of DART's riders, taking the bus or train has had no impact on the number of cars on the road. They are too poor to own a car. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 22.9 percent of the people in Dallas live below the poverty line.
Unlike the major northeast and upper Midwest cities in the U.S., which tended to expand along existing rail lines, the cities in the south and southwest developed along highways. Moreover, most of them have multiple employment areas, which means that only a small percentage of the commuters are going downtown. This is one reason why only 1.6 percent of the people in the DFW Metroplex used public transit.
1. DART has taken cars off THE MOST CONGESTED roads. The fact that car owners still use their cars to access DART doesn't change the fact that if it were not for DART, driving into Dallas during rush hours would be far more fretfull.
2. I doubt from others' observations that most people that ride DART are too poor to own cars. PoorER people are served by a second-hand car market and by sharing. But if it were not for DART, possibly some poor people would be even poorer by finding difficulty in commuting to the jobs they have.
3. Off this Forum, former colleagues in the Dallas area have nothing but good things to say about DART.
I would like to support Mr. Klepper's view. I am living outside of Vienna, Austria, a city where a good part of its workforce is commuting into the city on a daily basis. Some people are actually commuting more than 50 miles per way. Of these 400000 or so people, two thirds use a private vvehicle, one third is using public transport in form of suburban trains, long distance trains or busses, some of them express. Either way it is very costly, if one goes by car all the way has to meet very high car park fees, going by rail isn't exactly cheap either. But, the closer you come towards the city the more options are available (some underground or metro lines reach the city limits, also trams and city bus routes) the more you see people using it. After all, an annual concession card costs just 1 Euro ($1.15) a day. The network is very dense and the leeway between trains or trams are between 3 and 7 minutes. So they can rightly claim that more than 40% of commuting traffic is using public transport and it covers a high proportion (nearly 50%) of the operating costs. This are the hard facts, the soft facts are that one can use the system safely and relatively comfortable beween 5.30 a.m. and 1 a.m. There is a smoking ban, alcohol ban, ice cream ban in force and now the consumation of intensive smelling food will be prohibited soon, based on a public poll amongst the ridership.
Now my point is: if a community is large enough and willing to invest into infrastructure, comfort and safety their systems will be used by the masses.
The numbers regarding the percentage of people that use DART on a daily, weekly, and annual basis can be found in the DART 2017 Reference Book. The 2018 book has not been released.
A transportation consultant probably has good things to say about DART, especially if he had a vested interest in it. Whether he is a regular user would help with the creditability.
DART spent more than $6 billion of the taxpayer's monies to build the light rail system. It has many positives. But this does not change the fact that most people in the Metroplex don't use it, even in light of the fact that the typical rider in 2016 got a $4.55 subsidy per ride.
DFW has 34 major employment centers. Only two of them are downtown Dallas or Fort Worth. Far more people work in outlying employment centers that are scattered all over the Metroplex. This is a major reason why public transit in DFW draws less than two percent of the population.
So, back to my original point. It is not the Koch brothers that are killing public transit in the U.S. It is the nature of the beast. Most people don't want it. Especially when they have to wait for the next train or bus in 102-degree heat, which is the 5 pm forecast for today in Dallas.
According to the July 17th edition of the Dallas Morning News, Dallas is among the top five cities in the United State for reverse commutes. The article claims that more than half of Dallas's highly educated workforce living the urban lifestyle commute to jobs in the suburbs.
Many millennials live close to Dallas City Center because it is the cool thing to do. But they work in the suburbs because that is where many of the jobs are located. Toyota, State Farm Insurance, Liberty Mutual Insurance, TD Ameritrade, and JPMorgan Chase have open new facilities in the suburbs or expanded existing ones. Most of them are not convenient for public transit users.
I suspect this phenomenon was not even on the DART planner's radar scopes when they put together the light rail plan. This is one of the problems with rail. Once it is down it is hard to adjust to shifting employment, residential, and commute patterns.
Excuse me, but my profession was not basically that of a transportation consultant, and I rarely had the opportunity in the USA to perform that function, except as recommending public address and acoustical absorption material for stations and railcars. The people who tell me of the great benefits of DART are fellow acoustical consultants who understand that congested roads would be far more congested without DART.
I was a reverse-commuter with an apartment in Manhattan and an office in White Plains, for 25 years, via the subway and PC/Conrail/Metro North, 1971-1996.
The purp;ose of public transit in not "to get cars off the roads, It is to get cars off congested roads.
Another reason public transit is necessary!
Unfortunately it is not entirely undeserved, I too have had my share of bad experiences while riding buses or the LRT in Edmonton and Calgary. But a regular transit user knows that the majority of trips go normally.
Here is some speculative math, fomr what I remember from calculaations performed years ago and just a rough estimate of the Dallas area population that is the basis of the 2% using DART statement. Say the overall population is 10,000,000. 2% means 200,000 people a day us DART. To quote my MIT classmate Marty Whole in a textbook he co-authored: "Investing in public transit does not make sense, because it does not pay for itself from the farebox." But, indeed, it does make sense if the addiitonal land for essential roads without subsidized public transportation convert huge areas of poductive agricultural, residential, business, and factory land into highway lanes. Now, what I remember from old calculatons is that transporting commuters by light rail makes economic sense as compared to buses on highways or buses on dedicated roads when pasenger count is highter than 25,000/day. This assumes no extensive tunnels, or if extensive tunnels or subways are included, there is ample compensation in use of exising railroad rights-of-way and even track.
200,000 people a day means 400,000 trips per day. Divide that by the number of lines the Dart has and we probably exceed the 25,000 figures. So DART is more efficient than a bus system for the same number of riders.
Why is light rail more efficent economically when installation costs far far more than a bus system? Because one operator can be responsible for three, four, or five times as many passengers. Becuase the vehicles last twice as long. Because they require one-quarter the maintenance.
PJS1 For a substantial number of DART's riders, taking the bus or train has had no impact on the number of cars on the road. They are too poor to own a car. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 22.9 percent of the people in Dallas live below the poverty line.
True. I am not arguing against public transit. I rode a subway, bus, or streetcar to and from work for more than 40 years. But I was a rarity among my middle-class peers. Especially in Dallas! And away from New York City.
Most people in Dallas, as well as throughout Texas, who can afford a car prefer to drive as opposed to ride public transit. The numbers make it perfectly clear, even in communities like Dallas, which has the largest light rail system in North America.
If one wants a realistic glimpse of DART, he needs to ride the system at many different times during the day and the night over a year. Not just to the State Fair of Texas or the American Airlines Arena!
Observe your fellow passengers! Look out the window at the cars on I-35 or U.S. 75. Observe the empty spaces in the DART parking lots. Then get a copy of the DART Reference Book and look up the numbers.
For all of the money spent on the light rail system in Dallas, it carries a very small percentage of the people in the Metroplex; it even carries a relatively small percentage of the people in the communities directly served by it. Was it a good investment? It seemed like it at the time; in retrospect there may have been better options. But it is what it is!
But a regular transit user knows that the majority of trips go normally.
Agree, most transit trips are uneventful. So too are most auto, plane, train, etc. trips.
But a poor public image of public transit is one of many factors that have turned most people in Texas away from it. Or at least those that have an option, which leads me back to the key point I tried to make earlier. It is not the Koch brothers that are killing public transit in the U.S. It is the reputation and actual experience of the ride.
Whats there to see and do in downtown Dallas on a Weekend?
In 2016 an average of 96,300 weekday riders were carried by DART’s light rail system. Most of them were round trippers, i.e. a morning and an evening commute. So, as per the DART 2017 Reference Book, approximately 48,150 people – not riders – rode light rail on weekdays in 2016.
The average weekend ridership was 46,550, which is nearly 97 percent of the weekday ridership. This seems to lend some support to the notion that a significant number of DART’s light rail users don’t have a car that they could use during the weekend when traffic is lighter, and traffic congestion as an incentive to ride public transit is reduced.
For weekdays and weekends, light rail ridership declined by approximately 9 percent from 2014 through 2016. And it declined for all four lines. The average number of people taking the Blue Line on weekdays in 2016 was 11,100; Red Line 13,400; Green Line 12,450; and Orange Line 11,200.
Comparatively, an average of 61,150 people rode on DART’s fixed bus routes during 2016. So, the number of people taking the bus during the week day is approximately 127 percent of the number hopping on light rail. Again, the assumption is they were round trippers, which probably is close to reality.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the over 18 population of the communities served directly by DART’s light rail system was approximately 1,817,799 at the end of 2016. Based on the assumption that most of the light rail riders were over 18, then 2.6 percent of the population in the cities served directly by the light rail system rode the trains. This number is not far from the number published several years ago by the Dallas Morning News and, if I remember correctly, was before the Orange Line opened. If the assumption is refined further to include only those people between 18 and 65 as potential regular users of the light rail system, the percentage of the population in the cities served increases to 3.1 percent.
Some people come from communities outside of those served directly by DART, i.e. Desoto, Allen, Lewisville, etc., but it is impossible to know what percentage of those communities feed riders into the light rail system. In addition, some people use the Denton Transit Authority “A” train to connect with the Green line in Carrollton. Also, some riders are under 18 and some are over 65, but these seem like reasonable demarcation points.
One thing is clear. A small percentage of the people in the communities served directly or indirectly by DART’s light rail system use it, which calls into question or should whether the $6.8 billion in capital expenditures plus, before adjustment for inflaion, and the $4.55 subsidy per rider was or is worth it.
1. If in truth a large percentage of people who use DART could not afford to drive autos and otherwise have no access to personal transportation, then DART has obviously helped people to have jobs who otherwise would be on welfare.
2. If there are roughly 190,000 weekday fares and this is divided among five lines, then DART just about breaks even long-term on the investment as against carrying the same number of people by bus, if indeed the alternative bus sysgtem could attract the same ridership.
3. The real test is where are the choke points on tthe road system, and if DART were to shut down, how much greater would the congestion be at those choke points. This is nog something that is easy to determine, but requires study of the highway system and vehicle count at the points of heaviest traffic, compared with the ridership on the lines that are parallel. The next stop is estmating the costs of the additional road and road lanes, with the costs of the land and the disruption and elimination of tax-paying porductive land, figured in. This is the kind of analysis that the City of Phiadelphipa performed in the late 1940's - early 1950's, leading to the purchase of new city-owned commuter cars for operation by the Reading and Pensylvania and subsidization of their commuter operations, the first of such in the USA.
3. In other words, DART doesn't just benefit its riders, but benefits those that continue to drive by reducing traffic and congestion points.
4. However, it would seem that DART might improve its usefulness by better bus connecitons between the light rail stations nearest to suburban employment center and those centers.
5. I could have retained by car when moving to New York City in May 1970, then used it to reverse commute to White Plains. Rush hour traffic in the reverse direcdtion wasn't at all a problem, and no tolls were involved. But time on the train was useful and productive. There probably are DART riders that feel similarly, even when continuing to own and operate their own automobiles.
Many of Dallas' poor used the Dallas Transit System buses to get to work long before the light rail system came on the scene. In fact, as noted, the buses still carry 127 percent of the riders that are carried on the light rail system.
Whether the light rail system materially improved the ability of the poor to get to and from a job is problematic. It probably has but to what extent is unknown.
The average number of weekday riders on the light rail system in 2016 was 96,300. The average number of weekend riders was 93,100. Ridership has been declining. If it had declined at the same annual rate between 2016 and 2017 as it did between 2014 and 2016, average weekday ridership would have been 91,996 in 2017.
With the exception of the Orange Line, most of DART's light rail system was built on former railroad rights-of-way that were laid down in the 19th century. When Dallas began to grow into a major city after WWII, the housing and commuting patterns did not follow the railroad lines. This is one of the reasons the ridership on the system is comparatively low.
Hight level academic style studies frequently miss critical local details. Especially those that are decades old! To compare the efficacy of modern buses against light rail, one would have to compare the two on the same route, which in the case of Dallas would be nearly impossible.
DART was required to build a tunnel under Central Expressway that added more than $1 billion to the cost of the system. A tunnel was not the original plan, but the Park Cities blocked running the light rail line along the former MKT route that passes along the easter edge of the Park Cities. It was this objection that led DART to build the tunnel.
If one has not lived in Dallas or visited it frequently, within the recent past decade, it is impossible to understand the city's dynamics. The change has been dramatic.
I did do consjulting wprk in Dallas, and say my total time there probably amounted to several months. Two rather amusing tales: (1) I definitely was not the acosutical consultant for the succesful concert hall, my one-time co-worker and then competitor Russell Johnson was, but on one occasion others connected with the project invited me to visit before the organ was completed. I had worked with the C. B. Fisk Organ Co. on numerous churches, several times was a house guest for a weekend at Charles Fosk's home, so when I toured the hall, one of the Fisk technicians said the Great division was just now made playable and would I like to try it out. Wow, I though, this matches running a steam locomotive at the South African Capitol Parl engine shed. I sat down at the bench and played a note-perfect HaTikva, about the only thing I could do well without music. I was told this was the first time any piece had been played on that organ. The second was when I rode the McKinney Avenue streetcar and the operator showed me that he regularly caries the pocket Israel Railroad timetable with his operator's uniform.
Uusally, clients and friends drove me places in Dallas, and I did not use cabs or at least not often. The only public transportation I used, other than the McKinney Avenue streetcar, was the airport bus, and of course the airport bus more frequently. | 2019-04-24T21:54:49Z | http://cs.trains.com/trn/f/742/t/270939.aspx |

Do you seem to have a knack for attracting the wrong clients?
You know the ones I’m talking about: those who monopolize your time, sap your energy and don’t pay their bills.
Problem clients can cripple a practice. To make matters worse, once you’ve signed on as their lawyer it might be difficult – or impossible – to get out.
The solution: avoid getting into sour relationships in the first place through effective client screening.
Does the prospect have unreasonable expectations about what you can do for them?
Are they aggressive or rude?
Do they come across as open and honest?
Are they forthcoming about the facts, even when unfavorable?
Do they seem to have a personal agenda?
Do they expect 24/7 access?
Do they respect personal and professional boundaries?
Have they been represented by other lawyers in the same matter?
Do you have the necessary experience and expertise to tackle the case?
Is it within your comfort zone?
Do you have the time to take it on?
Should you refer it out or bring in a specialist?
After you’ve asked these questions, it’s time to check your gut.
Another tip: don’t hire potential. Beware taking on a difficult client in hopes they will change for the better as the case progresses. They won’t. They will only become more difficult.
And remember that even lawyers who have the most effective screening process in the world occasionally find themselves representing a problem client. “It happens,” says Bassingwaithe.
When you wrap up a problem case, give yourself a bit of time to recover. Then take time to review and process what happened. How can you prevent this from happening again? | 2019-04-21T02:21:55Z | https://www.lawyersmutualnc.com/blog/oops-i-did-it-again |

This dissertation examines the identification, development, and utilization of teachers as leaders in thirteen high performing elementary schools across nine districts in eastern North Carolina. Survey data on these schools were collected from their principals, with survey questions based on expectations of teacher leaders and school principals outlined in their respective North Carolina evaluation instruments, as well as best practices identified in a comprehensive review of the literature. Additional information was gathered from principals through follow up interviews. Participating school principals viewed teacher leadership as more closely identified with leadership tasks, and less with leadership titles. when selecting teachers for formal and informal leadership roles, participating school principals valued qualitative characteristics such as a teacher's reputation as a strong classroom teacher, interpersonal skills, and attitude toward education, as well as quantitative characteristics such as content area expertise and student growth scores. Participating school principals valued the leadership development of all teachers, with little differentiation between the leadership development opportunities provided to identified leaders as compared to those provided to all teachers. Participating school principals reported an emphasis on maintaining a school culture that promotes teacher leadership through their use of distributed leadership, their establishment of collective responsibility for instructional planning and student learning, and their willingness to involve teacher leaders in key administrative responsibilities such as decision-making and hiring new staff. This dissertation concludes by offering recommendations for how my school district might learn from these successful elementary schools in order to improve our own teacher leadership practices to promote school and district improvement, and considerations for other districts as they move forward with teacher leadership.

Merci to Katrina and Roxanne for another great Papillon Press workshop this past weekend!
I encouraged them to mix typefaces and use ornaments, and the results look fantastic! We printed 4×6 cards of different paper stocks in green ink.
Are there any printers out there who have any information about French typefaces and if the lay of the typecase is different in French than in English? Roxanne stumped me with this question. I’d be interested in acquiring French type, if that even exists.
Katrina's final product has a very retro feel to it.
Roxanne's final product en français is missing the accents, but has a very classic, bookish look.

We would like to thank the Sudbury Design Society, the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund and also our families for all the support they’ve given us over the years. We are very grateful for this award, thank you.
Joel and I made the decision long ago to make our livings being illustrators, he with editorial and I with letterpress, and while it’s not always easy it is ultimately the most rewarding for us.
Art and design in a society are 2 very important things that ensure a culturally vibrant place to live. On a municipal level, it is what makes a city a great city and a destination for others to visit. It’s important for people in creative industries to be surrounded by other individuals also in creative industries and we hope the creation of this award will highlight the importance of art and design in this city and encourage younger generations to stay and pursue their creative ambitions in Sudbury.
We’re glad that there is now an award in Sudbury that celebrates the importance of art and design. Once again, thank you. We are grateful for the recognition. | 2019-04-25T12:45:37Z | http://papillonletterpress.com/2011/08/ |

The interpretation of seismic data is dependent on laboratory investigations of the elastic and anelastic properties of rocks. Important constraints on the composition of the continental lithosphere have been provided by comparing laboratory and field determined seismic velocities. Much less is known about the nature of attenuation in the crust and upper mantle. Furthermore, laboratory attenuations have not been studied as extensively as velocities. Nevertheless, the utilization of laboratory attenuation measurements to tie seismic data to the anelastic properties of rocks is promising. Laboratory velocity measurements are usually obtained with a pulse transmission technique, whereas measurements of seismic attenuation in the laboratory are determined by resonance techniques, ultrasonic pulse propagation, stress-strain hysteresis loop analysis, and torsion-pendulum oscillations. Velocities in rocks increase with increasing pressure, whereas attenuations decrease. The greatest changes, which occur over the first 100 MPa, are attributed to the closure of microcracks. Velocities decrease with increasing temperature. At temperatures below the boiling point of a rock’s volatiles, attenuation appears to be temperature-independent, and above this, attenuation decreases. Increasing pore pressure, which lowers compressional and shear-wave velocities in sedimentary and crystalline rocks, produces a marked increase in Poisson’s ratio. The influence of pore pressure on attenuation in crystalline rocks is at present poorly understood. At high pressures, velocities are primarily a function of mineralogy, whereas mineralogy may only be of secondary importance for attenuation. Anisotropy, which is common in velocities of many crustal and upper-mantle rocks, may also be an important property of rock attenuation. Attenuation may vary significantly with frequency for saturated rocks, but appears to be frequency-independent for dry rocks. The effect of frequency on velocity is minimal. | 2019-04-22T06:53:52Z | https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/books/book/173/chapter/3792980/Chapter-7-Laboratory-techniques-for-determining |

Mommy Vicki Belo and daddy Hayden Kho cannot deny that their adorable baby girl Scarlet Snow is growing up faster than they wanted her to as they are still enjoying her ‘daldal’ moments.
In a video uploaded by her dad on Instagram, the sweet little girl was having a casual conversation with him when she started insisting sleeping in the big girl’s crib because she is already a grown-up lady.
Her dad kept saying that she will forever be his baby even if she grows up but the witty little girl does not seem to agree.
Such sweet daddy you have, Scarlet! | 2019-04-23T08:28:05Z | http://chisms.net/adorable-scarlet-snow-tells-her-daddy-hayden-im-not-a-baby-anymore/ |
Rákóczi Square is the center of the local beer-revolution: the “steampunk salon” of Krak’n Town, the three-story Rizmajer, and the specialty shop of Beerodalom are all located in the neighborhood, just like the “offline” shop of BeerSelection. Their selection of more than 300 items includes popular items from prominent domestic breweries from Mad Scientist to Gólem, just like the products of BrewDog, Mikkeler, and Stone Brewing Co., along with other Swedish, Danish, Polish, Czech, and Belgian specialties.
Tip: Although they are mostly operating as a shop, we can also drink the beers here or have them delivered. | 2019-04-22T22:51:22Z | https://welovebudapest.com/en/venue/beerselection/ |
I discovered a very interesting thread on Webmaster World from an experienced SEO Professional who decided who to pin two websites, competing in the same industry, with each other.
The first site was pushed using old school SEO practices, including paid and reciprocal links, content development, doorway pages, etc.
The second site was build in a more ‘organic way’ focussing on unique content, with no paid links or doorway pages, but with a blog, videos, blogs, RSS feeds and Twitter integration.
Site 1 (AKA “SEO’ed Site”): after just 3 months it was skyrocketing past some pretty hefty competition with traffic increasing well each month. The site was making £10,000+ a month for the last six months we had it and just sold for a rather nice figure.
Site 2 (AKA “Quality Site”): has struggled to rank anywhere, even for it’s own name, and traffic has been stagnant since the outset – it made a loss for the first 8 months and made just under £3000 in it’s best month which was last month.
My two cents: Although the results of this case study are quite interesting (depressing for a white hat SEO), I am not convinced that we can draw any conclusions of this. I believe that, depending on the industry and the degree of competition, you can be successful with a less aggressive/more organic SEO campaign. Additionally, I would not not include reciprocal linking with any random site and true doorway pages as part of “regular SEO practices”, as described in the thread.
I recommend to read all the details in the forum thread. | 2019-04-19T10:28:21Z | http://marcbaumann.com/case-study-success-with-pushed-seo-practices/ |

This is a postcard invitation to the graduation party of Riley Morin. He was accepted to Syracuse University and his parents wanted a custom invite for guests to RSVP to the event. We wrote the creative copy and typeset the text as well as shoot the photography. We worked with the client to get nail the concept down. The party was a blast.
We can create custom postcards and greeting cards for events like birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, store openings, birth announcements, and any other event that one may need to publicize. | 2019-04-21T20:35:59Z | https://www.custommade.com/graduation-invitation-postcard/by/studioforonda/ |
Here are some creative ideas for kids to celebrate Valentine's Day, including free printable downloads, collaging, card making activities, and printing.
Colour these hearts exploring warm tones for Valentine's Day.
6. colour the whole page & frame as bedroom wall art.
Turn their masterpiece into a card for someone special.
This template is a card, ready to colour, fold and send!
Here's a Houseful of Hearts for Valentine's Day.
Have fun exploring shape and colour with this fun house. Pens, pencils, pastels, paints?
Cut it out and make a card with the finished artwork if you want to.
around 5cm x 5cm. Fold them in half an cut a simple heart shape from each.
I bought a pack of heart shaped doilies very inexpensively from Amazon.
I intended to make bunting from them, but ended up using them as stencils for paint!
I think home made cards are so much more personal than shop bought ones. The recipient knows that you have taken time especially for them.
This activity created lots of amusement in our house, all you need are pipecleaners and scissors.
Make 2 hearts, use a small piece of pipe cleaner for the nose bit and 2 more to curl around the ears.
We went on talk about Elton John, and the Buggles - pop stars from the past who wore big glasses!
Cut shapes and scratch into polystyrene. You can buy polystyrene sheets, or pizza bases work equally as well.
Paint the block, preferably with acrylic paint (apron needed, as it will permanently stain clothing).
where a great template and instructions are available.
I developed the idea further into bunting and door hangers.
You can see more images on my blog.
I enjoyed doing this activity with young people in their hospital beds, and a group of 5 -11 year olds in a wood - so it's a versatile project!
The first heart is a bit tricky, and then you'll be flying.
I'd say under 7's need assistance with the weaving element.
Get baking! Simple and delicious.
A simple, fun activity with a great outcome.
Use a white wax crayon or white oil pastel.
Draw heart shapes (or anything) on white paper.
naturally resist the colour to create this batik-look effect.
A fun activity exploring shape, collage and colour.
Collect some paint swatch cards and get punching!
Great for wall art and funky Valentine's day cards.
These hearts, circles and button salt dough mobiles, painted with acrylic, were made about 3 years ago.
Amazing how long it lasts, it seems more durable than clay.The circle imprint was made by pressing a biro into the dough.
This is about 3 years old now!
Make a collection of small wire heart shapes.
Thread buttons onto them, cover some in tissue paper. add a handful of glitter! Ta-dah!
Paint a red heart shape on the canvas and then get glueing!
This artwork measures about 15 x 15cm.
The repetitive action is very relaxing - a bit like doing a jigsaw puzzle!
I have a great collection of 'hearts and valentines' ideas, crafts, recipes and more on my pinterest board, take a look!

It’s been six years since Ry Cooder released his last album, Election Special. Now, on May 11th, Cooder will release The Prodigal Son.
The album’s 11 tracks, including three Cooder originals and a carefully selected collection of his most treasured blues ‘n roots spirituals of the last century (songs of the Pilgrim Travelers, The Stanley Brothers, Blind Willie Johnson), share a particular resonance in this time and place, forming an unflinching look at the state of play in modern America.

Recently, ‘Collectively Speaking’ featured a blog post from guest blogger Dr. Lisa Fitzpatrick of United Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The post was originally published on The Huffington Post on February 19, 2013 and, though it’s been over a year since it was first published, her arguments in favor of minimizing the use of the term “AIDS” to decrease stigma are still relevant!
It used to be that an AIDS diagnosis was tantamount to a death sentence. Once your CD4 cells dropped below 200 or you acquired an opportunistic infection, it would be an overwhelming challenge to regain your health. In the height of the epidemic, an AIDS diagnosis conjured up images of people with rapidly spreading rashes, who could barely breathe, and who were wasting away into nothingness.
But that’s not true anymore. More and more people have had their CD4 cell count drop or acquired an opportunistic infection, and then go on to receive safe, effective treatment and return to health. Despite all the advances in medical care and treatment, we’ve retained the anachronistic idea that once someone is diagnosed with AIDS, they will immediately begin deteriorating until they eventually die…and that’s just no longer the case.
The numbers tell this story clearly. In 2010, about 487,000 people in the U.S. were living with an AIDS diagnosis. The estimated number of deaths of persons with an AIDS diagnosis, regardless of whether the deaths were due to AIDS or HIV, was 15,529. As a comparison, in 1995, there were over 50,000 deaths of people with an AIDS diagnosis.
Among The Women’s Collective’s small staff alone, several staff members have received an AIDS diagnosis at some point over the course of their lives—all are in treatment and healthy today. So why should the term, “AIDS,” follow them around? Especially when it represents the worst of the crisis…a time when people were dying faster than they could be diagnosed. And, language mattersbecause of the history of the epidemic—AIDS is a loaded term.
There’s a lot behind the language of AIDS—both fear and stigma. Fear can be paralyzing, and stigma is equally problematic. An AIDS diagnosis doesn’t mean the same thing that it used to—someone who is diagnosed with AIDS isn’t necessarily on the brink of death, and someone who has had an AIDS diagnosis in the past may be incredibly healthy today. It can scare a person living with HIV unnecessarily and it might cause others to treat them differently with no real justification.
There is, of course, is a rational reason to have specific language designate or identify when someone’s condition or health has worsened—we should be able to distinguish between someone who is living healthily with HIV and someone who is not adherent to treatment, has an opportunistic infection, or is in a more critical or serious condition. However, the time may have come for a new way to identify that someone living with HIV is living with serious medical issues. One option might be to identify different stages of HIV with diagnoses that don’t follow someone over time. A person’s medical diagnosis would transition between stages depending on their CD4 count, viral load, and whether or not they have an opportunistic infection. Another way might be to rely on those numbers alone. Maybe if we educate the community enough, they will know that having a CD4 count below 200 is serious without us having to designate it with a special term.
A transition away from the discourse of “AIDS” would require a lot of thought, consideration, and effort—and the conversation should include as many participants as possible. However we proceed, we need to remember that language matters and that stigma matters. And it’s worth it for us to consider whether it makes sense to use language from 30 years ago—from the worst of the epidemic—to describe today’s reality for people living with HIV and AIDS.
AIDS is not a death sentence! Many people still think AIDS means death but it’s not true. Thirty years ago it mattered if a person had AIDS because death was almost certain. Today it doesn’t. Advancements in HIV treatment can eliminate the threat of dying from AIDS but the community psyche is trapped in the past. In 2013 no one has to develop or die of AIDS. Why aren’t we getting this message?
We recently commemorated the 13th annual National Black AIDS Awareness Day (NBAAD). The goal of NBAAD is to raise awareness about HIV in the black community. My singular educational message for black America this NBAAD is that AIDS is not a death sentence! If I could, I would shout this message with a bullhorn from rooftops across the country.
AIDS can be prevented by early HIV testing and treatment. More importantly people diagnosed with AIDS can live a long life if they obtain treatment for HIV. Nowadays people with HIV and AIDS who are on treatment are not dying AIDS, they are dying from other ailments not related to AIDS. An added bonus is that being treated for HIV and AIDS reduces the likelihood of transmitting HIV to someone else.
There is reluctance by many in the black community to accept the truth about advancements in HIV treatment. This frustrates me. The lack of awareness and acceptance in our community hits me in the face in my clinic every week. Last week I saw two patients each illustrating our challenges with awareness and acceptance that AIDS is now a treatable condition.
The first is a man who was diagnosed with HIV in an emergency room five years ago. He presented to my clinic last week because he had developed a rash. When I asked why he decided not to follow up five years ago for treatment he said he was afraid he had AIDS and he knew he was going to die in a few years because there was no treatment for AIDS. He only came to see me to treat the rash because it was noticeable and people had begun to ask him about it. He had no idea HIV treatment was just as effective in people with AIDS.
The second person is an HIV-positive woman known to me because I started her on treatment one year ago. Despite numerous phone calls and notes of concerns sent to her she had not come for care since I wrote her initial prescription. When she arrived last week she nearly too weak to stand. When I asked why she hadn’t returned in a year, she told me she didn’t see the point in taking her medications since she had AIDS. Although I was confident we had covered this information, I again explained why AIDS is no longer a death sentence. She had become ill enough to be admitted to the hospital and this was completely avoidable. She, like so many patients I encounter, can’t fathom the effectiveness of new HIV medications. The community continues to make a distinction between HIV and AIDS. But as a clinician, I don’t. Actually, no one should. Because recent advancements in HIV treatment have rendered the terms AIDS so archaic it serves little purpose in 2013. It doesn’t matter if a person has AIDS!
The term AIDS was coined at a time when we had little information about HIV and worse, when stigma and discrimination were ubiquitous and unavoidable. But now I am convinced it is merely a barrier to our efforts to end this epidemic. Use of the term AIDS should be minimized in our conversations and eventually eliminated because as in the preceding examples, the perceptions shrouding the term “AIDS” discourage testing and engagement in care and treatment. At times I feel like a broken record when educating the community about the availability of new, effective treatment for HIV and AIDS. No one likes a broken record. But if that’s what it takes to make our society understand AIDS is no longer a death sentence, then I will continue to say it any way and anywhere I can. It doesn’t matter if a person has AIDS! It’s treatable and preventable! Get tested! Get treated! Live long!
Please will you help spread the word?
Tell me what you think it will it take to get people to accept and act on this message?

1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he performed on them that were diseased. 3 And Jesus went upon a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. 5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come to him, he saith to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat? 6 (And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.) 7 Philip answered him, Two hundred penny-worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them make take a little: 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith to him, 9 There is a lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? 10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. (Now there was much grass in the place.) So the men sat down in number about five thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they would. 12 When they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, Gather the fragments that remain, that nothing may be lost. 13 Therefore they gathered them, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley-loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus performed, said, This is truly that prophet that should come into the world.
16 And when evening had now come, his disciples went down to the sea, 17 And entered into a boat, and went over the sea towards Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them. 18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. 19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh to the boat: and they were afraid. 20 But he saith to them, It is I; be not afraid. 21 Then they willingly received him into the boat: and immediately the boat was at the land whither they were going.
22 The day following, when the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, save that one into which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples had gone away alone; 23 (Yet there came other boats from Tiberias nigh to the place where they ate bread, after the Lord had given thanks:) 24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. 25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were satisfied. 27 Labor not for the food which perisheth, but for that food which endureth to everlasting life, which the Son of man will give to you: for him hath God the Father sealed. 28 Then said they to him, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 30 They said therefore to him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? 31 Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. 32 Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world. 34 Then said they to him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me, shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me, shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. 37 All that the Father giveth me, shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will in no wise reject. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will who hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. 42 And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? 43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves. 44 No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught from God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned from the Father, cometh to me. 46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he who is from God, he hath seen the Father. 47 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man shall eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 53 Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers ate manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it? 61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said to them, Doth this offend you? 62 What if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 63 It is the spirit that reviveth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who he was that would betray him. 65 And he said, Therefore I said to you, that no man can come to me, except it were given to him by my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67 Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we believe, and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. 70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for it was he that was to betray him, being one of the twelve. | 2019-04-22T00:27:23Z | http://mbible.com/webster/john/6.htm |
Following back-to-back losses, the first being the more costly against district frontrunner Belen, the Eagles (5-2, 2-1 in district) knew they had to beat Coral Reef (2-5, 2-1) to realistically keep their playoff hopes in District 15-8A alive.
With two district games remaining for every team in the division, Southwest moves into a second-place tie with Coral Reef and Braddock (4-3, 2-1), which the Eagles play Oct. 31. The three teams trail Belen (4-3, 3-0) by one game.
Barnes, a four-year player for the Eagles, got most of the team’s carries during three quarters of mostly offensive futility.
But then Barnes busted loose in the final period, catching a touchdown pass, running for another and finishing the game with a 33-yard interception return for a touchdown.
Barnes has made the playoffs every year of high school playing for Southwest, and finished with 92 yards combined rushing and receiving.
Southwest broke the scoreless stalemate after Antonio Garcia’s 29-yard field goal capped a drive that began after Amir Rivera recovered a fumble near midfield for the Eagles. Garcia played a huge role in helping Southwest maintain good field position in the first half at one point netting 65 yards on a punt to pin the Barracudas deep in their own territory.
Southwest’s defense allowed only 108 yards and allowed Coral Reef only one push into the Eagles’ red zone, which ended with a missed field-goal attempt. | 2019-04-25T09:56:31Z | https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/high-school/prep-miami-dade/article39621486.html |

panda and penguin | Meet a LinkBuilder and Learn Everything about SEO!
The field of search engine optimization is every changing and developing, thanks to the regular frequent updates that Google makes to its search engine algorithm. Each Google update is designed and aimed at improving the search results that Google delivers to those who use it. While the Panda, the first of which was released in February 2011, is targeted towards making sure that websites provide high quality unique content on their spaces; the Penguin, which was first released in April 2012, targets websites which tend to engage in webspam and black hat SEO.
Because of the Panda and the Penguin updates, many SEO tactics and strategies were changed quickly. Some of what used to be done just two years ago or earlier, some even just a year ago, are not so welcome anymore nowadays when it comes to SEO strategies. To help you ride out the Panda and Penguin updates that might have affected your website rankings, below are some tips.
Be original. Being unique pays off especially when it comes to content. Never duplicate content from another website. Instead, write high quality unique content for your website or hire a good writer to help you. There are quite a lot of good SEO companies nowadays that have their own in-house writers. Hiring an SEO company to also do the content work will ensure that the writer is aware of the type of content that is good for your website.
Avoid thin content. In Google world, there is no place for thin content. These are content that are short and have very little informational value. Many of the articles written pre-Panda and pre-Penguin seem to be obviously written just for SEO purposes because they were usually around 100 words only. In post-Panda and post-Penguin time, content such as research, analysis, in-depth reports, and the like, earn good rankings.
Go white hat. It is very important to stick to white hat SEO tactics from now own especially since Google seems to be bent on cracking down on websites that engage in black hat SEO. It is not an excusable if the SEO company you hired is the one engaging in so-called black hat SEO strategies because your website is the one that will be affected by these bad SEO strategies. So make sure that the company handling your website’s SEO does not use black hat SEO.
Say goodbye to bad links. This is something which should have been avoided even before the Panda and Penguin updates. So make sure that all your past and future backlinks are in good-quality websites as well. | 2019-04-22T07:57:28Z | https://se0andwebdesignservices.wordpress.com/category/panda-and-penguin/ |

What is the role of an advisory panel member?
Advisory panel members play an important role in the federal fishery management process by providing information and recommendations at the grassroots level. Members of each of the Council’s eleven advisory panels advise the Council about trends in fisheries, environmental concerns relating to fishery ecosystems, and management impacts on fishermen and fishing communities.
Beginning in 2017, the Council’s advisory panels also began providing Fishery Performance Reports. These reports provide the Council and its Scientific and Statistical Committee with updated descriptions of the factors that influence fishing effort and catch within each of the Council’s fisheries. The Fishery Performance Reports are included in the Council Meeting briefing book materials.
Who can serve and how do I apply?
Advisory panel members include recreational and commercial fishermen, industry representatives, seafood dealers, representatives from conservation groups, and other interested members of the public.
The Council is soliciting applicants for open seats on its advisory panels and the System Management Plan Workgroup. See the news release for additional details. Applications are due February 8, 2019.
Note! Application forms are available from this page of the website. See the links below.
Applications may be submitted at any time. Application forms for specific advisory panels are available by clicking the links below.
How are advisory panel members appointed and what are the terms of service?
The Council considers applications for open seats on its advisory panels during regularly scheduled Council meetings , usually during the Council’s March and September meetings. Applications are reviewed by the Council’s Advisory Panel Selection Committee during closed session (all application information is considered confidential). The Committee provides recommendations for the Council’s consideration and approval. Applicants are then contacted regarding their status. Active applications are kept on file for two years.
Once appointed, advisory panel members serve voluntarily for 3-year terms. Advisory panels generally meet no more than once or twice each year for 1-2 day meetings. If an advisory panel does not meet within the calendar year, that period does not count against the term. At the end of the 3-year terms, the AP member’s seat is open to qualified applicants and the current member is also eligible for reappointment. Most members are limited to serving 3 consecutive terms.
Fishermen and members of the public are encouraged to contact the advisory panel representatives in your area, sector, and fishery with any concerns or suggestions you may have. Open seats on advisory panels are advertised periodically through the Council office, typically in March and September each year. You may submit an application at any time, using the online forms available above.
In 2017, Council staff began to develop Fishery Performance Reports (like those seen at the Mid-Atlantic Council) using the information and guidance provided by Advisory Panel Members and their discussions of species specific issues. Advisory Panels will focus on a given species for each report, providing insights into regional differences, catch, and regulatory concerns. These reports will serve as a living record of what fishermen are experiencing on the water. To see the Fishery Performance Reports, click here!

This area consists of two areas of the Berkshire Downs to the south, west and east of Lambourn, on either side of the Lambourn Valley, extending south to Great Shefford. This area has some steep slopes with areas of chalk grassland and also has a concentration of ancient woodland sites.
Joint Character Area: Berkshire and Marlborough Downs.
Topography: Mainly north and east facing slopes extending onto some flatter areas along the southern edge.
Lowland calcareous grassland: Chalk grassland is found on the steeper slopes including White Shute Hill, Westfield Farm Bank and Cleeve Hill which are SSSIs. Remnants are present elsewhere including areas on Coppington Down and Maidencourt Down. Restoration has taken place in the north of the area and in the valley stretching east from Great Shefford.
Lowland Mixed Deciduous Woodland: Numerous ancient woodland sites are found at the top of slopes, often on the clay-with-flints but extending onto the chalk in places.
Butterflies: chalk grassland butterflies are associated with the chalk grassland sites.
Access: The area has many byways, bridleways and footpaths.
Targets and opportunities: Chalk grassland management and re-creation with the steeper slopes providing the best opportunities. Woodland management and possible link planting on clay-with-flints area. The extensive areas of arable land in the east provide potential for farmland management for birds in particular. In the long term the east of this area could be extended northwards where the geology is mainly chalk. | 2019-04-25T20:06:10Z | http://berkshirelnp.org/index.php/south-lambourn-downs |

I can build .net (checkmate, debug and release) and release X64 (after download gfortran) but not any win32 application.
This is a strange error report particularly for this program that does not use OpenGL.
It looks like you have glut32.dll (which you do not need for this program) on your machine but in the wrong folder. If this is the case then SLINK is finding it but then produces an error report because it turns out to be a 64 bit dll rather than a the 32 bit dll that it is looking for.
If this is the case and you don't need glut32.dll for other applications then removing glut32.dll or temporarily changing its name should fix the problem.
I don't have glut32.dll in any folder in my PTAH especially don't have glut32.dll in c:\windows\system32.
For now, I will compile my code to 64 bit.
It might be in C:\Windows\SysWOW64.
I presume you are using Plato, where Win32 is the basic build for FTN95. It should work, using only salflibc.dll.
You should check your (default?) build settings, as the example program you posted should not be selecting glut32.dll when linking. | 2019-04-22T00:55:18Z | http://forums.silverfrost.com/viewtopic.php?t=3193 |

My friend and Lib Dem colleague Nikki Thomson passed away last night. Because I had moved away from Edinburgh I do remember the last three times that I met Nikki while I was living and working in Edinburgh and the Lothians. I'm going to share the three of them as they pretty much sum Nikki up.
First of the three was at the Meadows Festival in 2010. She was in position in the control tent giving instructions and directions to all those who were around. She devoted a lot of time to the Meadows Festival making sure it was run smoothly and well. On that particular occasion we both agreed that neither of us were talking shop. She knew I could distract her for a few minutes from the busyness of what was going on around her, me taking a break before canvassing support of Edinburgh Central Lib Dems for the rest of the afternoon, when she saw me heading towards her she said don't try and canvass me now.
The second was my time to be grilled, and I mean grilled, by Nikki about why I should be her candidate for the 2011 Socttish Elections. She wasn't letting any of us get away with anything and merely knowing her for some time was not going to be enough for either me or Alex Cole-Hamilton that much was clear. She had been in the party like me a long time, back from the days when you either a Young Liberal Democrat or a Student Liberal Democrat, yes Liberal Youth reader pre-LDYS days, when she acted a conduit between the two. She had been involved in Kingston just after I had left, in Edinburgh South campaigns she was one of my many slave drivers, often running the office that I saw only long enough to refuel, use the toilet and stock up on leaflets mostly.
I have to admit that Nikki's grilling of me did come along with a nice glass or two of red at Bar Reverie on Nicholson Street. But you could tell that she knew exactly what she wanted from her questions. She'd already talked to the other three candidates but I must have done ok, because at the end she promised me her first preference.
The final time me and Nikki met that summer was to relax in a shared passion. It was a Neil Hannon concert in the Liquid Rooms on Victoria Street. We met for a meal at Pizza Express at the top of the hill where we could watch all the wet (well this was Edinburgh) tourists heading for the queue for the Tattoo. Pizza and pasta were washed down with more wine and by the time we were ready to head the short walk down the hill to see Neil it was dry. Of course for a Hannon gig in the liquid rooms there is only drink that can be drunk, so I imbibed on gin while we belted out lyrics, or brass sections or whatever, while Neil performed some of his back catalogue and new stuff from Bang Goes the Knighthood.
I think those three elements sum up Nikki. Her desire to serve other, her love and devotion to doing things right through the Liberal Democrats and her sense of relaxing and having a good time. Of course the Liberal Democrats are one big family of interconectiveness. When I came to Northern Ireland both Michael, then local party chair, and Pam, then Treasurer, also knew Nikki amongst other Lib Dem friends. Nikki, Pam and I all having bizarrely a connection to Kingston.
I know the sudden news of her illness and now passing has affected all of us and our thoughts and prayers are with her family and other friends who are also missing her vibrancy and her smile.
I had no idea - I'll miss her.
I first met her when she was a Young Liberal Democrat and I was a Student Liberal Democrat (and the former, too, but there were tribes). She was always brilliant, and lovely.
It was very rapid on the last few weeks Alex. Although she hadn't been well all year she wasn't diagnosed until quite recently.
BTW I remember the tribes too, come from the SLD faction myself.

Supporter Preview #34 – S.A. Viau, Busan Writing Group « Write, or Else!
S.A. Viau is a writer who lived in Busan and is one of the main reasons the Busan Writing Group Anthologies are available today.
For the 2017 anthology by the Busan Writing Group, S.A. Viau designed the cover and contributed short fiction, just as he has in the previous books. The 2017 piece Sirens is a poignant story of suicide and the emptiness it carves out of the people left behind. The piece highlights Viau’s economy of words, as the story packs a lot of raw emotion into under two pages of text.
S.A. Viau now lives in Louisiana, where he has just been accepted into an MFA program with LSU. You can read Sirens and more works by the Busan Writing Group on Amazon here!

Fred Beindorff photographed Ed Roth with his Ford F-100 pickup for Rod & Custom magazine in April 1957. The truck also appeared in the Nov. ’57 issue of Car Craft. Dave Shuten and his crew at Galpin Auto Sports returned the truck to this original state, right down to the Olds Fiesta hubcaps.
1957, Ed “Big Daddy” Roth pretends to paint “Pinstriping by Roth” advertisement on the truck’s passenger door for Beindorff’s camera.
1957, Ed “Big Daddy” Roth pretends to lay a line on the truck’s grille for Beindorff’s camera.
Back in 1957, Ed “Big Daddy” Roth bought a brand new 1956 Ford F-100 pickup. He repainted the light green truck white with bright red flames, installed a tonneau cover with a monstrous airbrush job on it, lettered it for his business (“Any car $4 an up,” read the tailgate), and then used it as his rolling business card.
Roth didn’t own the truck for long. Oliver Bradshaw (who goes by O.Z.) spotted it on a car dealer’s lot in Bell Gardens, California—not far from where Roth had set up shop in Southgate—and bought it, flames and all, in late 1957. “It had probably short of 1,600 miles on it when I bought it,” O.Z. says. He had married his high school sweetheart, Delores, in 1955, was serving in the Army, and was looking for transportation. With Roth’s eye-popping F-truck, he got that, and more.

Thanks Andrew. I've updated the list to include what's available on Steam. If you find any missing items that should be included, let me know.
Thanks Marten, I'll certainly check these out!
After a bit of a lull in updates, 2 games by Dynamix and one by Software Sorcery (both Sierra partners) added to GOG today.
Updated with notable games added to Steam in 2017 (SWAT 2, SWAT 3, and Gold Rush! 2), and 2 titles added to GoG in H1 2018 (Lighthouse and Shivers).
Updated that the Steam Sierra Bundle was discontinued, and fixed an error in the text. | 2019-04-22T02:26:34Z | https://www.midimusicadventures.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=32&p=1091 |

Johnny Rotten needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 267 designs submitted by 78 freelance designers.
Guru Branding had very innovative and creative designs. The firm was responsive to our changing requests and needs.
In a pickle this time. I need a logo and biz card layout for "The Chandler Group" a parent company of 6 companies, 1 management company and 5 operating companies. Very short time frame to get this one done. All effort is appreciated in advance.
This contest does not require any particular color scheme or web 2.0 styles (although they are welcome).
Simple is better and more memorable.
Not to many intricacies that will be tough to make out in a small print version such as a business card.
You can look at the following temporary web page for an explanation of what all of our companies are all about.
The Chandler Group may grow through acquisition so be careful not to lock your design into something that will not scale with company growth.
I will be very prompt on feedback so please know that I will be paying a ton of attention to this during the contest. I promise to respond quickly. | 2019-04-22T01:10:09Z | https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/announcing-another-fabulous-johnny-rotten-contest-5884 |
"We were first attracted to ZooFresh because they are operating in a largely neglected geography,” says Kate Cochran, CEO of Upaya Social Ventures.
Upaya Social Ventures and Beyond Capital are pleased to announce recent investments in ZooFresh Foods, a social enterprise based in Odisha, India that connects smallholder farmers with underserved markets to eliminate waste, increase farmer incomes, and enhance consumer access to local meats. ZooFresh Foods leverages innovative supply chain technologies and retail platforms to create an integrated distribution model and enhance the local meat and fish industry in eastern India.
"We were first attracted to ZooFresh because they are operating in a largely neglected geography,” says Kate Cochran, CEO of Upaya Social Ventures. “These are the kinds of businesses Upaya was founded to support."
ZooFresh Foods was founded in 2016 by co-founders Sadananda Satapathy and Ambika Satapathy with the goal of combatting the malnutrition and high unemployment rates prevalent in Western Odisha. ZooFresh sources high-quality products directly from small- scale farmers who, due to their small volumes and distance from large retail centers, are often disconnected from the market. By transporting live chicken and fish to rural retail hubs, ZooFresh provides rural consumers access to fresh, healthy food.
The investments from Beyond Capital and Upaya Social Ventures will be disbursed to ZooFresh in tranches to support the expansion of the company’s farmer supply network and chain of retail outlets.
Upaya Social Ventures (Upaya) creates dignified jobs for the poorest of the poor by building scalable businesses with investment and consulting support. Since 2011, Upaya has supported 16 small and growing businesses in India with investments and expertise, and Upaya’s partner enterprises have created more than 12,000 jobs. With offices in Seattle, Washington and Bangalore, India, Upaya is committed to a goal of helping partners create 15,000 jobs by the end of 2019.
Please visit http://www.upayasv.org for more information.
Beyond Capital is an impact investment fund that invests in for-profit social enterprises throughout India and East Africa. The fund invests in businesses that are focused on greater access to health care, water, sanitation, and energy, as well as food security and financial inclusion, which can increase the quality of life and standard of living for consumers living at the bottom of the economic pyramid. Though the fund seeks market-rate financial returns, Beyond Capital is structured as a nonprofit, which permits the organization to emphasize fidelity to its social mission alongside its financial mandate.

Radhika* was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy Microcephaly that delayed her normal developmental milestones. This led to her inability to sit independently and setting in of involuntary movements. At the age of 4, she was admitted to the Centre for Inclusive and Vocational Education (CIVE) at Shishu Sarothi. At the Physical Rehabilitation Unit of the CIVE, she is undergoing rigorous physiotherapy sessions involving range of motion exercises, and using physio-balls, rollators and hand dexterity boards. Today, it has been just over a year since she was enrolled, and she has shown considerable improvement with her ability to sit upright without anysupport and her involuntary reflexes have also reduced. We are hopeful that she will continue to show more positive outcomes from these physiotherapy sessions in the coming days.
Apart from the Physical Rehabilitation Unit, CIVE has several units, namely a preliminary holding group that offers intensive stimulation and orientation to children prior to their enrolment at centre, the Playgroup Unit which follows a reverse inclusion model where both children with and without disabilities learn through the medium of play, to make them ‘school ready’ as far as possible. Children whose disabilities are more profound in nature are placed in the Special Teaching Unit (STU) or Leisure Learning Unit (LLU) which caters to children with high support needs according to their age. While, the Functional Unit (FU) caters to older children with improved fine motor skills and Functional Academic Unit (FA) caters to children with cognitive abilities. A separate unit offers early intervention and school readiness training to children with autism and attention deficit disorders. CIVE also has an ICT Lab providing computer education with help of assistive devices such as trackball mouse, special large font, coloured keyboards and special software such as the e-saadhya programs to children at the Centre as well as students with disability from other organizations. The Vocational Unit provides vocational training in paper crafts, to young adults with developmental disability to empower and equip them with skills for employability in the long run. A comparatively new initiative of alternate Yoga therapy has also been initiated for all the children enrolled at CIVE since January, 2019.
Karan* is a 6 year old child of STU, diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (Hypotonic) and Microcephaly and associated sensory impairments (Proprioceptive Vestibular), when he was 4. He was very uncomfortable in certain clothing and interactions with some textures likegrass, etc. He had problems in determiningdistance and height vis–a-vis his surroundings, which made him accident prone and fearful. All these hampered his daily functioning. With the use of several sensory items such as different tactile surfaces and balancing board, he is now able cooperate while dressing, he is able to walk independently, and deal with grassy surfaces without discomfort and can now join in play with other children on swings, ladders, tunnels (which he would earlier avoid). Our teachers continue to work with Karan to improve environmental and self-awarenessfor him through such alternative multisensory approaches.
The special educators at the CIVE use alternate forms of Teaching Learning Materials (TLM) tomake learning innovative and fun. They use a holistic approach with the children with disability to enhance their cooperation in activities of daily living (ADL) and facilitate learning of academic subjects to the best of their capabilities. In the Functional Academic Unit, Teaching Learning Materials are used to make students learn monetary transactionsalong withfunctional literacy - reading and writing, while in the Playgroup Unit the children learn to recite rhymes and identify alphabets and numbers with these TLMs.
Customized special furniture such as ‘Special Castor Chairs’ with supporting pommels, neck and head rest features, foot boards and straps, fitted with castor wheels for ease of mobility,are an essential for most of the children with high support needs at the CIVE. These chairs help in the child’s overall mobility and maintaining correct position and posture. Theyenhance their ability to carry out activities with lot more ease and comfort. These activities include paying attention to lessons taught in class, eating food, and carrying out therapies by the teachers as well as the families.
At CIVE, events and activities are regularly planned to create mutually beneficial awareness programs with local communities and stakeholders to promote the idea of inclusion and create an enabling environment. Various festivals are celebrated, inclusive sports events are organized where children from other schools are actively involved. The children from CIVE are also being taught to organize and participate in Inclusive Children’s Parliament. These activities open avenues for exposure and interactions with other members of local communities and authorities, helps to build their confidence and empower them to be self- advocates.
At Shishu Sarothi the work is not limited to children enrolled at the centre but also their parents who undergo tremendous stress while coping with physical problems of primary caregiving as well as the stigmas surrounding disability. At the Counseling Unit of CIVE, parents are educated about their child’s disability, made aware of individual programs for their child as well as provided one-on-one counseling sessions. Group Counseling sessions are also conducted for Parents to create a support system among the parents of children with disabilities.
We at Shishu Sarothi wish to extend our gratitude to all the donors of our campaign – ‘Help educate 150 Children with Disability in India’ without whose generous support our work with these children and their parents would not have been possible.

However, it’s an extreme succession of negotiations that comes with a good amount of risk.
>> Get Your No Cost Debt Settlement Estimate – Today!
Before you proceed with debt settlement, there’s something you need to understand. For example, debt settlement will be a whole lot worse for your credit score over the long haul than paying off your debt with a debt consolidation loan. In the end, what you owe will not be paid in full. Given that debt consolidation entails paying off creditors on a monthly basis, debt collection calls will usually become less frequent. As any Temple debt settlement expert can tell you, this is far from the truth during a credit card debt negotiation. It may take up to 180 days for anything to happen. During that time, your credit balances will continue to mount.
Bear in mind, credit card companies can take legal action against an individual in order to go after a past debt. There is a greater potential for lawsuits when it comes to debt settlement in Temple, TX because you stop paying your creditors.
A local Temple debt settlement attorney cannot prevent litigation from any creditor. They might be able to represent you in court, or they may not.
In Texas, credit card issuers have 4 years to file a suit for credit card debt you owe.
Can you tolerate bad credit if it means you can get out of debt?
If you have $10,000 of credit card debt, don’t panic – 5,955 Temple residents have at least this much debt.
Folks with debt to income ratios of 50% or more are perfect prospects for debt relief of some kind or another, either settlement or consolidation. The best ratio? 30 to 36 percent. In Temple, people earn $18,229 each year, or $1,519 every month, meaning the average resident of Temple ought to pay less than $562 in credit card, mortgage, and car/student loan payments. Regrettably, many individuals are obligated to pay $775 or more each month. These people are in need of debt relief options, whether it be credit card settlement or consolidation.
A lot of people confuse debt settlement and credit counseling, debt management, or consolidating debt. They’re totally distinct solutions.
Whereas debt settlement leads to reduced debt, consolidation does not. You continue to pay your lenders each and every month as part of credit counseling; hence your credit rating is not harmed as much as it can be after a debt settlement. On the other hand, debt management generally takes longer and ultimately you’ll pay back every cent you owe. Go here for additional information about credit counseling in Temple.
As the most dramatic debt relief solution at your disposal, debt settlement is generally not cheap.
The majority of settlement agencies charge you a percentage of the debt you want settled, often about 15 percent. Basically they’ve been prohibited legally from making you pay until a balance has been repaid.
Certain lawyers in Temple, TX, might offer debt settlement services for their clients. A large number of law firms will ask you for some kind of retainer, generally 5% of what’s owed, coupled with a fee every month. In addition, they also receive a substantial percentage of debt reduction amount: one-third. This is commonly less affordable than a debt settlement firm. | 2019-04-21T02:56:16Z | http://www.txdebtconsolidation.com/settlement/debt-settlement-temple-tx/ |

The Estonian-invented Stigo foldable scooter has won an “Electricity and Smart Living” award from the French electricity producer EDF.
According to the EDF Pulse Awards website, the scooter “is the dream ‘commuter’ of tomorrow in a sustainable city: easy to use, compact, foldable in the blink of an eye, electric and easy to charge”, Stigo said in a press statement.
EDF, headquartered in Paris, France, set up the EDF Pulse Awards programme to promote bold concepts and innovative solutions, personalities and ideas that deliver the benefits promised by advances in knowledge worldwide. The awards are EUR50,000 each and are given out in three categories: home, health and mobility, all related to smarter electricity use.
Stigo was short-listed as one of the 34 promising concepts in the mobility category by the EDF jury in January 2014. The energy company carried out a media campaign to introduce and promote the finalists in various markets. The winner was selected by the general public, via online voting, Stigo said.
“The EDF Pulse Award gives us confidence that such light-weight and easily foldable scooters are changing the way people travel in dense urban areas. Our next step is to get industrial-scale manufacturing going and deliver Stigo scooters by the summer of 2015,” Rando Pikner, CEO of Stigobike, said in a statement.
The Stigo electric scooter weighs only 13.5 kg and has footprint of a mere 45×40 cm when folded, resembling a golf bag or a wheeled suitcase, and can be brought along wherever one wishes to go – a restaurant, apartment, on public transportation or a small lift. | 2019-04-22T06:46:30Z | https://estonianworld.com/technology/estonian-invented-stigo-scooter-wins-award-france/ |
Citation: Beeson, P.C., Daughtry, C.S., Hunt Jr, E.R., Sadeghi, A.M., Karlen, D.L., Tomer, M.D. 2016. Multispectral satellite mapping of crop residue cover and tillage intensity in Iowa. Journal of Soil and Water Conservation. 71:385-395. doi:10.2489/jswc.71.5.385.
Interpretive Summary: Soil tillage intensity can be characterized by the proportion of the soil surface covered by crop residue shortly after planting, with residue cover <30% classified as conventional tillage and residue cover >30% as conservation tillage. Accurate assessments of crop residue cover are important for evaluating effectiveness of conservation practices. The standard technique used by USDA-NRCS, the line-point transect, is robust and accurate for assessing crop residue cover in a single field, but is impractical for monitoring crop residue cover in many fields over broad areas in a timely manner. Remote sensing may provide an efficient, timely, and objective method of obtaining information on soil tillage intensity over large areas. Multispectral images of the South Fork watershed of the Iowa River located in central Iowa were acquired by five satellites over three years. Classification accuracy for each satellite image was evaluated using crop residue cover data acquired in selected fields throughout the watershed within 10 days of a satellite overpass. Differences in the classification accuracy depended primarily on timing of satellite images with respect to field operations and the spectral bands of each sensor. The tillage intensity maps identified areas where additional conservation practices may be needed. We conclude that satellite imagery is well suited for classifying crop residue cover and tillage intensity over large geographic areas.
Technical Abstract: Accurate post-planting crop residue cover assessments are crucial for identifying dominant tillage practices across large geographic areas and evaluating effectiveness of Conservation Management Plans. Current assessment protocols are labor intensive, time consuming, and costly. We hypothesize that using satellite technology could provide this information more efficiently. Current and proposed methods for assessing crop residue cover after planting were evaluated within a 788 km2 watershed in central Iowa for three years (2009-2011). The watershed is dominated by corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] which are grown on glacial-till derived soils across 85% of the land area. For each year line-point transect data for 40 to 60 fields and roadside surveys for approximately 200 fields provided current practice estimates of crop residue cover which were compared with information derived from SPOT-5 HRG, Landsat TM, Indian ResourceSat AWiFS, and DEIMOS-1 satellite images. Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC) criteria were used to classify tillage intensity based on post-planting surface cover. SPOT-5 and Landsat images provided similar accuracy ranging from 64 to 92%, while AWiFS and DEIMOS classifications had accuracies ranging from 61 to 73%. Differences in the accuracy of derived information depended primarily on timing of satellite images with respect to field operations and the spectral bands of each sensor. The resulting maps, however, identified tillage intensity as a function of slope, which could be useful for targeting additional conservation practices throughout the watershed. We conclude that satellite imagery is well suited for classifying crop residue cover and tillage intensity over large geographic areas. | 2019-04-21T14:26:05Z | https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/publications/publication/?seqNo115=310144 |

What the troop balance on Russia's northwest border will REALLY look like.
This Bloomberg graphic is being extensively shared on social media by NATO-supporting journalists and writers working for American state media.
It purports to show that Russia is being "aggressive" by proposing new battalion numbers along its western borders. If the information is accurate, it will mean a total of around 30,000 troops split into three divisions.
At the same time, NATO wants to send 4,000 soldiers, mostly American and British, to the Baltic States and Poland. This graph is being used as a propaganda tool to make it appear that 4,000 'defensive' NATO personnel are facing off against 30,000 "aggressive" Russians.
For starters, the Russian units will be stationed exclusively in Russian sovereign territory. The concept of a country keeping armed forces on its own soil is hardly revolutionary. By contrast, these American and British servicemen and women will be very far away from home.
Also, the figures are completely misrepresented. As the image below shows, it is Russia which is outnumbered. And vastly so.
It seems NATO's fans in western media are "weaponizing information" to deliver misleading messaging in their "hybrid war" against Russia. "The menace of unreality" indeed. | 2019-04-19T00:52:30Z | https://www.rt.com/op-ed/350239-nato-russia-troops-disinformation/ |
Safety is an idea. It can mean a department and a budget line to a CEO, an audit responsibility for a middle manager and a lingering back injury or requirement to wear protective gear to a line worker. Since communication is the art of expressing an idea, it is little wonder that savvy safety professionals such as Gary Olmstead of General Mills call it "the most important aspect of any program." Without effective communication, says Olmstead, companies will not be able to get employees at all levels to buy into the program. If employees lack that personal interest in safety and do not value it, it has little chance to be successful.
Consultant Robert Pater stresses that safety is about "creating change in people." Communication is the vehicle used to change their knowledge, beliefs, attitudes and values so that they will act in a safe manner.
"It is the carrier wave for any change," said Pater, the managing director of Strategic Safety Associates, Portland. "You can purchase the best PPE around and if people don't know it is available or don't know how to use it, you have just wasted a lot of money and time."
Safety managers frequently spend much of their time communicating to line employees through training and other contacts, working to change their behavior on an individual basis. While that has value, Pater notes, they typically spend too little time working with supervisors, mid-level managers and senior managers.
In particular, says Pater, senior management offers time-pressed safety officials the most bang for their buck because they wield the most influence in their organizations.
At General Mills, for example, Olmstead, the director of safety and environmental management, meets three times a year with the safety and environmental executive council, which includes the heads of each of the company's seven business units. These meeting offer an opportunity to review safety programs and metrics, and get their input on what action may be needed for improvement. Moreover, because these managers are together, they compare how their operations are doing, an incentive for underperformers to improve.
Olmstead also tries to attend all plant manager meetings and, where possible, be on the program. In addition, someone from his department visits virtually every facility annually. This frequent contact helps plant officials understand the program and their role in it, but also develops the trust and understanding necessary for ongoing support of the safety program.
In addressing different audiences within the organization, said Robert Emery, executive director, Environmental Health & Safety for the University of Texas Houston Health Science Center, it is important to match the message with the recipients and make sure that it is crafted in a way that it will interest them. As an example, he said if you monitor for noise and find that levels require implementation of a hearing conservation program, the message to upper management should note that there is a regulatory concern, it may be impacting quality and employees' ability to do a job safely, and here are the program's initial and ongoing costs.
Line workers, said Emery, will have a much more personal interest in the program. "They want to know Do they hurt when I jam them in my ear? Can I get extra ones to put in my pocket and take home for hunting season? Are they available in neon colors?" he said. "We have to understand what they resonate to and sell to that point."
Safety managers have an unprecedented array of communication tools at their disposal, from personal contacts to group meeting and training to various printed and electronic media. "Strong safety programs use broad-based, multiple contacts of communication, all of which are well done," said Pater.
He cautioned that each type of communication has advantages and disadvantages. For example, one-on-one contacts are very personal so you can find out the person's concerns and what they think could be done better, but they are time intensive. Written communications such as newsletters or e-mails reach many people and are time-efficient, but offer little feedback.
Emery recommended that safety managers communicate succinctly. Charts and graphs offer a good way to communicate information quickly. For example, a summary chart can quickly show when fire drills are scheduled and when, to date, they have taken place.
While communication should be concise, it should also offer a way for people who desire it to get additional information. Emery uses this method in an e-mail system he has set up to explain when false alarms go off in the university. The e-mail provides a short message about where and when the alarm went off, but then offers a link to additional information on the emergency plan.
While a fair amount of safety training is required because of government regulations, no regulation requires that the training be boring or repetitious.
"We are in the business of edutainment," says Emery with a chuckle. "There are requirements for training, but we have an obligation to make it entertaining. If we can't be lively and jazz the thing up a little bit, people are going to dread it."
Emery said too many presentations involve a speaker who is not animated, and slides that are dull or so busy the main point is lost. "We have to be enthusiastic advocates for safety. Training is where you make or break it," he said. "If the people leave the room feeling as if they are cared for, they'll respond and 90 percent of your headaches are taken care of."
Pater said it is a mistake to believe that simply presenting information will cause the desired effect. "If information caused change, hardly anyone would smoke, everyone would be in good shape and people would eat well," he pointed out. Instead, said Pater, it is important to realize that people are emotional beings and that it is critical to sell them on programs and desired behavior, not simply inform them. Pater urged safety managers to spend more time on how they package information.
Communication, said Pater, falls into two categories projective (outward) and receptive (inward). While safety professionals need to impart information to people in their organizations, asking questions and listening attentively is equally important. Many safety professionals are trained in projective communications. They see their role as leaders who impart their expert knowledge to others. Yet, said Pater, a small issue that is not addressed because employees or managers don't share it can cripple a safety effort.
Having a safety suggestion box or open door policy is not enough, Pater warned. Safety managers need to actively solicit information, and do it in a way that puts people at ease. For example, said Pater, if an employee is not wearing PPE, you can ask, "Why don't you wear it?" but you can also say: "We're seeing people not using PPE. Why do you think people around you don't do it?"
At the University of Texas, Emery added to the end of observation checklists the question: Do you have any safety and health concerns? Some 83 percent of the people asked said they did. Many of the concerns involved issues not on the checklists, such as water quality in drinking fountains or safety in parking lots. "By asking, it engaged them in the process and let them know we were concerned about them," said Emery. "Then we followed up on anything they came up with."
Employees quickly realize when safety communications are not sincere or done only to satisfy regulatory requirements. With such "stamp ticket" communication, says Pater, employees receive the message that the company does not believe safety is important or does not know what it is doing.
Olmstead said safety communication must occur regularly and, most importantly, in a meaningful way. Employees need to understand why they should care and be responsible. "We are working against the attitude that exists in our culture that it is always someone else's responsibility," said Olmstead. "What we are doing is protecting you so you can go home to your family. Isn't that something you are interested in?" | 2019-04-22T12:22:01Z | https://www.ehstoday.com/safety/chemical/ehs_imp_36652 |

A federal magistrate harshly criticized the Kentucky Department of Corrections yesterday for denying medical treatment to a prisoner with life-threatening hepatitis C.
"Money, not medicine, was the driving force behind the department's decision," Magistrate Judge C. Cleveland Gambill wrote in an 88-page finding of facts about the case.
Gambill said he doubts inmate Michael Paulley will survive without treatment and should get it as soon as possible.
Gambill recommended to U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II, who is in charge of the case, that he order the Corrections Department to let Paulley get treatment. Heyburn must issue the final decision, although judges often defer to their magistrates.
The $18,000 treatment would cost the department nothing; Paulley is an Army veteran and his benefits would pay for it.
The Corrections Department, however, won't let him go to the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Louisville for treatment or give the drugs to him at the Luther Luckett Correctional Complex in Oldham County. The state says that because Paulley has cirrhosis of the liver, the treatment would do more harm than good.
It also says Paulley doesn't qualify under criteria it drafted for treating inmates with hepatitis C. Gambill, however, said these reasons are a pretext for denying Paulley the drugs. Gambill said the department doesn't want to pay for treating all inmates with the disease.
He said the department has an unwritten policy of denying all inmates treatment for hepatitis C, which can damage the liver and infects an estimated 5,000 of the state's 15,000 inmates.
Paulley, who is serving a 20-year sentence for burglary and being a persistent felon, sued the Corrections Department in U.S. District Court last year. He wants to force the department to treat him with drugs recommended by Dr. Bennet Cecil of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Paulley is also demanding unspecified damages for the violation of his civil rights, but that wasn't part of yesterday's ruling.
Gambill said the department's fears about the cost of treating inmates with hepatitis C -- which the state has estimated could hit $75 million, more than three times its medical budget -- are overstated. Only 22 inmates know they are infected, and most will never know, he said.
"The probability that a measurable fraction of Kentucky's infected prisoners will demand treatment is exceedingly small," he wrote.
Carol Czirr, a spokeswoman for the Corrections Department, declined to comment because officials have not yet seen the recommendation.
One of Paulley's attorneys, Alan S. Rubin, said both sides will have 10 days to respond to Gambill's recommendation, and then it will be up to Heyburn to rule. Rubin said he didn't know how long that will take.
Cecil, who has become an activist on behalf of prisoners with hepatitis C since treating Paulley, said he was proud of Gambill's ruling.
"This will make it much easier for people in prison to get treatment that they need," Cecil said.
One person who fared especially poorly in Gambill's opinion was the state prison system's new medical director, Dr. Richard Kimbler, who was not involved in the original decision to deny Paulley treatment. Kimbler was the department's only witness at a hearing before Gambill in December on Paulley's request for an injunction ordering the department to give him treatment.
Gambill said he was bewildered by the way the department presented its defense, and he said Kimbler's "credibility is highly suspect." He said Kimbler hadn't even reviewed Paulley's entire medical record before testifying.
"Dr. Kimbler unfortunately was so repeatedly evasive and biased in his testimony at the injunction hearing that the Magistrate Judge attaches no weight to that testimony," he wrote.
Gambill said Kimbler's testimony about Paulley's history of depression and his past refusals to take other medication -- two reasons the department offered for denying Paulley treatment -- were also misleading.
"This decision to permit Paulley to face the unnecessary risk of a premature death was made for purely administrative reasons," Gambill wrote.
Gambill praised Cecil, who he said was the most experienced doctor in Louisville treating hepatitis C.
"Dr. Cecil certainly is not the wild-eyed radical that the department has unfairly attempted to portray him as being in this case," he wrote. "To the contrary, Dr. Cecil is highly credible and highly compassionate." | 2019-04-20T04:13:00Z | http://hepatitisdoctor.com/styled-11/index.html |

Getting to know Dr. Pancholi and our staff is the first step toward getting a look you love.
Dr. Pancholi and his staff want you to be fully informed throughout your cosmetic surgery experience. We’ve learned that an informed patient is more likely to love their results, because they know what to tell us, what to expect, and what to ask Dr. Pancholi to get the outcome they are looking for. This process starts as soon as you call or contact us online to schedule your consultation with Dr. Pancholi.
The first step is deciding when and how you will meet with Dr. Pancholi and our staff. Most patients come into our office for an in-person consultation, as this offers the most in-depth experience and allows you to see our facility and meet more of our staff members. However, we also can and do conduct many consultations over the phone. Whichever method you choose, it’s best to call as soon as you have made a decision to meet with Dr. Pancholi. Because he wants to allow plenty of time to meet with each patient, appointment slots are limited, and his schedule fills up quickly.
If you are meeting with Dr. Pancholi at our office, you will first stop by our front desk to check in with our friendly front office manager. She will help you get settled into our reception area and let Dr. Pancholi and our Patient Care Coordinator know that you have arrived. You can also fill out your new patient intake forms at this time. Alternatively, you can download, print, and fill them out ahead of time.
If you are having a long-distance consultation with Dr. Pancholi, please fill them out and email, fax or mail them to our office at least three days prior to your consultation.
If you are traveling for a cosmetic procedure, there are additional items to consider. Dr. Pancholi has written an eBook specifically for out-of-town patients seeking safe options within the United States.
The next step is to meet with Dr. Pancholi in our patient consultation room. This is a comfortable room where the two of you can talk about your concerns, the changes you would like to make, and what procedures you are considering. With our patient care coordinator in the room for assistance, Dr. Pancholi will examine your area of concern and provide his professional opinion about what will best achieve your goals and what results you might expect from different treatment options. This is your time—so ask all the questions you need to help you move toward a confident decision.
“After 4 1/2 years of shopping around and being indecisive, my consultation with Dr. Pancholi was so comforting, I put my deposit down before I left.
If applicable, Dr. Pancholi may use digital imaging to help show you what’s possible with each of your procedure options—patients find this especially helpful with facial procedures such as rhinoplasty and chin augmentation.
If you are considering Las Vegas breast augmentation, breast revision, or another procedure with breast implants, your consultation may include a preliminary breast implant sizing session. During this time, you will get to touch and hold a variety of saline, silicone gel, and silicone gummy bear implants to get to know how each different option feels. You will also get to try on several implant options wearing a special bra to see the effects that different shapes and sizes have on your proportions.
Next, our Patient Care Coordinator will guide you through the surgical process. She will provide available dates for your procedure and tell you what to expect with pre- and post-op visits, recovery needs, and any medical tests or exams you may need before moving forward with surgery. She will also provide you with an itemized price quote.
Whether you are ready to schedule your procedure at the end of your consultation, or you would like to take some time to think about your options, we recommend sitting down with our staff to discuss your options for financing. We offer a variety of flexible, affordable financing plans to help you fit your procedure into your budget and have your procedure at a time that is right for you.
After your operation it is important that you carefully follow the Post-Operative Instructions for your specific procedure. These instructions will be reviewed with you and your caretaker before you have surgery to ensure that you understand every detail for optimum results. If you have any questions or concerns about the instructions or your surgery, please contact us immediately for an explanation.
We are proud to serve men and women throughout the Las Vegas area, as well as our patients who travel from Los Angeles, Hawaii, and throughout the U.S., Canada, and beyond. We invite you to take a few minutes to get to know Dr. Pancholi, our staff, and our beautiful Las Vegas office.
We are always happy to answer any questions you may have about Dr. Pancholi or our practice. Call702.363.0240 or contact us online. | 2019-04-22T00:29:48Z | https://www.drpancholi.com/about/patient-consultation/ |

He had invited them to share this night with Him, this elite group who had walked with Him during His three of ministry. They had heard His teaching, seen His miracles, and enjoyed the intimacy of His company that was theirs alone.
I’ve always found this passage extremely challenging and convicting! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it at Booknificent Thursday on Mommynificent.com this week!
I couldn’t agree with you more!! I will be there tomorrow!!
This is beautiful. A question that pulls us closer to the truth. Are my interested in a relationship or in activities for the Lord?
Thanks so much! Easter blessings to you as well!
I doubt we rarely think of how the Lord wants *our* companionship. We just think about how we need him with us. These are beautiful thoughts, Pam. Thank you for spurring my heart more toward thoughts of Easter.
I agree 100%! Thanks for your kind comments! BTW I started reading the book you mentioned (Grit)….fascinating!! I also took the Grit Scale and discovered I am currently pretty gritty!!
Your neighbor at RaRa Linkup. Thank you for this great reminder. We do get so busy and distracted. I don’t want to miss the intimacy I could have with Him because of tiredness or busyness either. It is so easy to wonder how the disciples could respond the way they did, but we really are no different. What a beautiful post to help me prepare my heart for Resurrection Sunday. Thank you so much. May your soul be refreshed in taking to heart the reality of His love for you.
Thanks, Cheryl, for your gracious words and encouragement! May He draw you closer to your heart as you survey the cross and rejoice over the empty tomb!
Hi Pam! I was thinking today, what was going through Jesus’ mind today? Tomorrow it begins, the Passover meal, going to the Mt. of Olives…was he glad or filled with sorrow?
I had no idea that the Olives was a place of pressing too, that makes the visit there by Jesus so much more poignent.
I think you hit it just right in revealing that maybe I’m uncomfortable with the disciples sleeping, because maybe I’d be sleeping too. I’d hope not, but who knows? I remember reading that drinking cups of wine is a part of the Seder meal, and maybe the disciples were overcome with tiredness and wine? Interesting thought anyway.
May God bless you as you continue through these holy days, and may he bring you many more insights into his suffering, death and resurrection.
Thanks so much, my friend! I continue to grow with an awareness that God wastes nothing and places and things have significance in His Word AND in our lives if we will take a closer look to discover them.
My Bible study just finished a study of Mary & Martha that had a similar point… to be careful not to allow our work for Him to replace our relationship with Him. It’s a good thing to check up on regularly since our whole society is so focused on busyness and productivity. there isn’t much time or value assigned to just ‘being’ anymore. thanks!
Sounds like a great study!! One of the great blessings I just thanked the Lord for this morning was how I can linger with Him now that I am retired and not working full-time and feeling the push to leave my chair, Bible, and journal. Blessings on your Holy Week!
Awake O Sleeper! Pam, your words are lovely and I’m particularly glad to be here reading them. I often wonder if, being such a morning person, would I have been able to remain awake that night of anguish? I just don’t know. But I do want to be awake to His Holy Spirit and the promptings He is faithful to give. THOSE I NEVER WANT TO MISS.
Thanks so much, Susan! Awake O Sleeper…another great hymn!! I am listening to the choir of Wall Street Trinity Church on You Tube as I write this! (Just had to!!) I was always more of a night person, but as I have gotten older I find I am somewhere between. I know I can offer the disciples more grace than I may have at one time for falling asleep despite my sad awareness I may well have disappointed Him also! I hear you!! Blessings on this Holy Week!! | 2019-04-24T00:35:17Z | https://pamecrement.com/2017/04/12/are-we-asleep-2/ |
A thermometer is a device that measures the temperature of things. The name is made up of two smaller words: 'Thermo' (Greek 'Θερμό') means heat and 'meter' means to measure. You can use a thermometer to tell the temperature outside or inside your house, inside your oven, even the temperature of your body if you're sick.
At the start of the seventeenth century there was no way to quantify heat. In Aristotelian matter theory, heat and cold were fundamental qualities. Like dry and wet, heat and cold were qualities combined with "prima materia" to make up the elements, earth, water, air, and fire. Thus earth was dry and cold, fire dry and hot, etc. Although one might speak of "degrees of heat or cold," there was no formal distinction between what we would call the extensive concept of heat and the intensive concept of temperature. Also these degrees were not measured, except perhaps in a very rough way as when a physician put his hand on a patient's forehead and diagnosed "fever heat".
"He took a small glass flask, about as large as a small hen's egg, with a neck about two spans long [perhaps 16 inches] and as fine as a wheat straw, and warmed the flask well in his hands, then turned its mouth upside down into the a vessel placed underneath, in which there was a little water. When he took away the heat of his hands from the flask, the water at once began to rise in the neck, and mounted to more than a span above the level of the water in the vessel. The same Sig. Galileo had then made use of this effect in order to construct an instrument for examining the degrees of heat and cold."
Over the next several years this thermoscope was developed by Santorio Santorio and Galileo's friend Gianfrancesco Sagredo (both in Venice), Galileo, and others to include a numerical scale. It had thus become a full-fledged air thermometer. The first series of quantitative meteorological observations date from this period. In other parts of Europe the inventor Cornelis Drebbel and Robert Fludd developed similar instruments. The questions about who was the first, and whether one derived his knowledge from another, are sterile ones which shed little light on the historical context in which this and other instruments (e.g., the telescope and barometer) developed. The near simultaneous (and surely independent) invention of the air thermometer illustrates the seventeenth-century trend toward quantification of natural phenomena--an essential dimension of the "mathematization of nature."
The liquid in glass thermometer was developed in the 1630s, but a universal standard of temperature remained elusive. Each scientist had his own scale divisions, often based on different reference points. It is impossible for us accurately to convert their measurements to our temperature scale, and at the time it was impossible to compare temperatures in different places. In the early eighteenth century, universal temperature scales based on several fiduciary points (e.g. a mixture of ice and brine, a mixture of ice and water, body temperature, the boiling point of water) were developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), Anders Celsius (1701-1744), and René-Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur (1683-1757). Of these, the first two are still in use, and the system of Celsius (extended to become an absolute scale in the nineteenth century) has become the standard scientific temperature scale.
The thermometers we use today are different than the ones Galileo may have used. There is usually a bulb at the base of the thermometer with a long glass tube stretching out the top. Early thermometers used water, but because water freezes there was no way to measure temperatures less than the freezing point of water. So, alcohol, which freezes at temperature below the point where water freezes, was used. The red colored or silver line in the middle of the thermometer moves up and down depending on the temperature.
Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit number.
Divide the answer by 9.
Multiply that answer by 5.
Here's an example: Change 95 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius: 95 minus 32 is 63. Then, 63 divided by 9 is 7. Finally, 7 times 5 is 35 degrees Celsius. Time to go to the beach!
Multiply the Celsius temperature by 9.
Divide the answer by 5.
Here's an example: Change 20 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit: 20 times 9 is 180. Then 180 divided by 5 is 36. Finally, 36 plus 32 is 68 degrees Fahrenheit. That would be a pretty comfortable outside temperature for taking a walk!!
Anders Celsius (1701 - 1744) early became engaged in the general problem of weights and measures, including temperature measurements. Already as a student he assisted the astronomy professor Erik Burman in meteorology observations. At that time there existed a large variety of thermometers with different scales. Perhaps he already at this stage realized the necessity of a common international scale.
A temperature scale must be based on one or two standard temperatures, called fixed points. For those it was natural to choose temperatures within the temperature domain of practical interest, i.e. from about plus forty to minus twenty in modern Celsius degrees. Thermometers were simply used in meteorology, in horticulture, and sometimes for indoor use. As fixed points one could use the human body temperature or temperatures of local origin such as the observatory cellar in Paris or the highest temperature in sunshine in London. Of course also the freezing and boiling points of water were used, but it was not self-evident that they really were universal and e.g. independent of the geographic latitude.
The position of the degree zero on a temperature scale has created a lot of discussions. The French Réaumur scale had zero at the freezing point but as regards other scales one placed zero outside the ordinary temperature region, thus avoiding the mixture of positive and negative numbers. The zero could be placed at a low temperature, a method used by the Danish astronomer Ole Rømer and then adopted by Fahrenheit. Celsius was accustomed to the Réaumur thermometer, but he also used a thermometer made by the French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle with zero at the boiling point, thus creating a reversed scale with increasing numbers for decreasing temperatures, but avoiding negative numbers.
This reversed scale was not as awkward as we think today and it served its purpose. The change to our modern direct scale was inevitable in the long run, however, but there is no sense in trying to give the credit to any single person. Linné; has often been named as the inventor with reference to his famous work "Hortus Cliffortianus" of 1737, five years before Celsius' publication. However, in studying Linné's work it is obvious that the few temperatures he mentiones are impossible as modern Celsius' degrees. Linné met Fahrenheit in Holland and it is clear that he used Fahrenheit temperatures when he returned home to Sweden. Most probably Linné abandoned the Fahrenheit scale when he learned about Celsius' research. After the death of Celsius in 1744 thermometers with a direct scale appeared in the meteorology reports under different names, such as 'Celsius Novum', 'Ekström' and 'Strömer'. Linné had a great interest in thermometers, and he ordered a thermometer with the modern scale from the instrument maker Daniel Ekström around 1744. The scale is mentioned in a dissertation by Samuel Naucler in 1745, but this does not indicate Linné as the single inventor of the modern scale. Certainly the change of scale became obvious to the Uppsala scientists in general. In an account of the history of the thermometer in the Proceedings of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences 1749, Pehr Wargentin, Secretary of the Academy of Sciences, mentiones Celsius, his successor Strömer and the instrument maker Ekström in connection with the direct scale. Linné is not mentioned at all. No single person can be given the credit.
From the scientific point of view the most important contribution to the modern temperature scale is due to Celsius because of his careful experiments on the fixed points. The direction of the scale comes in second place, and was hardly a great intellectual achievement.
The Fahrenheit scale, which measures temperature, was created by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), a German-Dutch scientist, in 1724. Fahrenheit, who devoted much of his life’s work to the measurement of temperature, also invented the alcohol and mercury thermometers. On the Fahrenheit scale, the point at which frozen water melts is 32°, and the point where at which it boils is 212°. Between these two points is exactly 180°, a number easily divisible on a thermostat. Although we know with a degree of certainty what measurements Fahrenheit used to determine his scale, his process of arriving at the final scale is largely unknown.
Several stories have circulated regarding how Fahrenheit devised his scale. One is that he established 0° as the coldest temperature he could measure outdoors during the winter of 1708 to 1709 in Danzig, Germany. This measurement and Fahrenheit's own body temperature, which he measured at 100°, were the two marks on which he based the rest of his scale. Many think that either his thermometer was off or he was running a fever that day, resulting in the relatively high reading on the bodily temperature. The scale was then divided into 12 separate segments, which were later divided into eight, creating a scale of 96 separate degrees.
In another story, Fahrenheit figured 0° by taking a measurement of the point at which equal parts of salt and ice mixed together melt. He then established 96° as the blood’s temperature. Yet another story holds that Fahrenheit co-opted Ole Rømer’s scale of temperature. With this scale, 7.5° is the freezing point of water. Fahrenheit multiplied this number to get rid of the fractions, and then refigured 32° as water’s freezing point, with 64 degrees separating the body’s temperature at 96°. He then marked degrees using six lines.
Some believe that Fahrenheit was a Freemason, and because there are 32 degrees of enlightenment, he chose to use 32 as the melting temperature of water. Degrees are also used as levels with the Freemasons, hence the use of the word on the scale. However, there is no documented evidence that Fahrenheit was a Freemason.
In yet another story, it is said that Fahrenheit believed that a person would freeze to death at 0° and would die of heat stroke at 100°. This created a scale of 0° to 100° that encompassed the range of livable temperatures. Another story states that Fahrenheit recorded the melting point of water, the boiling point and a human’s body temperature, and then put the melting and boiling points exactly 180 degrees apart. One far fetched story says that Fahrenheit observed the melting point of butter as 100° and set it accordingly.
Because Fahrenheit degrees are 5/9 of a Celsius degree, it is easier to make more exact measurements without using fractions in the Fahrenheit scale. Fahrenheit continues to be used in the United States, although most other countries that use the metric system changed to Celsius in the 1960s and 1970s.
The Kelvin temperature scale (K) was developed by British William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin (1824–1907) in the mid 1800s. The zero point on this scale is base on the point at which the pressure of all dilute gases mathematically project to zero from the triple point of water. Recall that the triple point is the temperature at which liquid water, ice, and water vapor can coexist simultaneously.
The zero point of this scale is equivalent to -273.16 °C on the Celsius scale. This zero point is considered the lowest possible temperature of anything in the universe. Therefore, the Kelvin scale is also known as the "absolute temperature scale". At the freezing point of water, the temperature of the Kelvin scale reads 273 K. At the boiling point of water, it reads 373 K.
Lord Kelvin developed this scale with the help of a Carnot engine. The Carnot engine deals with the relationship between pressure, work, and temperature. The Carnot engine is the most efficient engine possible. However, even it cannot reach 100% efficiency. If an engine was 100% efficient, no energy would be wasted. The Carnot engine is only theoretical, which means that all real engines are even less efficient.
The operating principle of a thermometer is quite simple. A known measure of liquid (mercury, alcohol, or a hydrocarbon-based fluid) is vacuum-sealed in a glass tube. The liquid expands or contracts when air is heated or cooled. As the liquid level changes, a corresponding temperature scale can be read to indicate the current temperature.
Thermometer manufacturers start with glass blanks with bores down the middle; these are usually received from glass manufacturers. The bulb reservoir is formed by heating one end of the glass tube and pinching it closed. The bulb is sealed at its bottom, leaving an open tube at the top.
Next, with the open end down in a vacuum chamber, air is evacuated from the glass tube, and the hydrocarbon fluid is introduced into the vacuum until it penetrates the tube about 1 inch. Due to environmental concerns, contemporary thermometers are manufactured less with mercury and more with a spirit-filled hydrocarbon liquid.
Thermometers are designed according to predefined standards identified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, formerly the National Bureau of Standards) and standard manufacturing practices. Within the regulatory guidelines there are provisions for the custom manufacture of thermometers. Custom thermometers can be as varied as those who use them. Different sizes exist for the amount, weight, and length of glass used, the type of liquid filled into the glass, the frequency of gradations laid onto the glass tube or enclosure, and even the color of the gradation scale marks.
A design engineer will look at the travel limits for the liquid to be used in the thermometer. Once precise limits are established, the dimensions of the glass tube and size of the glass bulb can be determined.
Use of electronic components in thermometers has grown. Many of today's broadly used thermometers contain digital readouts and sample program cycles to feed back the current temperature to a light-emitting diode (LED) or liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. For all the electronic wizardry available, a thermometer must still contain a heat-cold sensitizing element in order to respond to environmental changes.
Thermometers consist of three basic elements: spirit-filled liquid, which responds to changes in heat and cold; a glass tube to house the temperature-measuring liquid; and black ink to color in the engraved scale marks with legible numbers. In addition, other elements are necessary for the manufacture of thermometers, including a wax solution used to engrave the scale marks on the glass tube; an engraving engine that makes permanent gradations on the glass tube; and a hydrofluoric acid solution into which the glass tube is dipped to seal the engraving marks.
The glass material forming the body of the thermometer is usually received from an outside manufacturer. Some thermometer products are made with an enclosure, which can be made of plastic or composites and may contain scale gradations as opposed to having these on the glass tube itself. The enclosure also serves to protect and mount the thermometer on a wall, post, or in a weather shelter box.
Although there are numerous types of thermometers, the production process for the most common of these—the classic household variety—is described below.
1. First, the raw glass material is received from an outside manufacturer. The tube is made with a fine passage, or bore, throughout its length. The bored tubes are checked for quality; any rejected parts are sent back to the manufacturer for replacement.
2. The bulb reservoir is formed by heating one end of the glass tube, pinching it closed, and using glassblowing and the application of an air-driven torch to complete it. Alternately, the bulb can be made by blowing a separate piece of lab material that is then joined with one end of the glass tube. The bulb is sealed at its bottom, leaving an open tube at the top.
3. With the open end down in a vacuum chamber, air is then evacuated from the glass tube, and the hydrocarbon fluid is introduced into the vacuum until it penetrates the tube about 1 inch (2.54 centimeters). Due to environmental concerns, contemporary thermometers are manufactured less with mercury and more with a spirit-filled hydrocarbon liquid. Such a practice is mandated (with tolerance for a limited use of mercury) by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The vacuum is then gradually reduced, forcing the fluid down near the top of the tube. The process is the same when mercury is used, except heat is also applied in the vacuum chamber.
4. Once full, the tube is placed upon its bulb end. A heating-out process is then conducted by placing the thermometer into a warm bath and raising the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius). Next, the temperature is reduced to room temperature to bring the residual liquid back to a known level. The open end of the thermometer is then sealed by placing it over a flame.
5. After the tube is sealed, a scale is applied based on the level at which the fluid rests when inserted into a water bath of 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius) versus one at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). These reference points for the desired scale are marked on the glass tube before engraving or silkscreening is done to fill gradations.
6. The range lengths vary according to the design used. A scale is picked that best corresponds to even marks between the reference points. For accuracy purposes, engraving is the preferred method of marking. The marks are made by an engraving engine after the thermometer is placed in wax. The numbers are scratched onto the glass and, once complete, the thermometer is dipped in hydrofluoric acid to seal the engraved markings. Ink is then rubbed into the marks to highlight the scale values. When enclosures are used on the scales, a silkscreening process is used to apply the marks.
7. Finally, the thermometers are packaged accordingly and shipped to customers.
The manufacturing process is controlled by widely adopted industry standards and specific in-house measures. Manufacturing design considerations include quality control checks throughout the production process. The equipment used to perform fabrication tasks must also be carefully maintained, especially with updated design protocol.
Waste materials accrued during manufacturing are disposed of according to environmental regulatory standards. During the manufacturing cycle, equipment used to heat, evacuate, and engrave the thermometer must be checked and calibrated regularly. Tolerance tests are also performed, using a known standard, to detennine the accuracy of the temperature readings. All thermometers have a tolerance for accuracy. For the common household, this tolerance is usually plus or minus 2 degrees Fahrenheit (16 degrees Celsius). For laboratory work, plus or minus 1 degree is generally acceptable.
Although the longstanding simple glass thermometer is unlikely to change, other thermometer.
After the bulb reservoir is formed and the liquid inserted, the unit is heated and sealed. Next, the scale markings are added. This is done using engraving, in which the bulb is dipped in wax, the marks engraved, and the bulb dipped in hydrofluoric acid to seal the marks on the glass. forms continue to evolve. With technological advances and the more widespread use of lighter and stronger materials, manufacturers of electronically integrated temperature instruments can provide more accurate measurements of temperature with minimal equipment bulk and at an affordable price. Analog box thermometers, for example, were once used with a long wire and probe tip for in-ground temperature measurements, among other uses. Today, the probe tips are made of lighter materials, and the boxes, loaded with digital electronics, are not as bulky and square. Looking ahead, further work with the microchip may provide the impetus to fully digitize the temperature measuring process. Also, it may eventually be possible to direct an infrared beam into soil and extract a temperature reading from a target depth without even touching the soil. | 2019-04-23T19:52:02Z | http://kifissiameteo.gr/Lesson06_Instrument_Thermometer.html |
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt has announced a set of Task Force recommendations that are aimed at improving the Superfund program. The Agency’s adoption of these recommendations is another indication that demonstrable change to CERCLA implementation is of interest to the Trump administration. It follows the EPA Administrator’s May 9 retraction of certain remedy selection authority from regional offices.
The 42 recommendations are contained in a report developed over the space of a month by a task force appointed by Administrator Pruitt. The recommendations are presented as an ambitious attempt to reorient the Superfund program, and a key aim is accelerating action on Superfund mega-sites. The report particularly emphasizes expediting cleanups and promoting redevelopment and community revitalization. The recommendations will require aggressive work from EPA staff to meet the schedules provided in the report.
The report closely follows key themes that the Administrator has previously emphasized: rapid, efficient implementation of CERCLA cleanups; a hands-on approach from EPA senior management for key Superfund mega-sites; and efforts to leverage the program to enhance site “reuse” and brownfields/community redevelopment.
The report recommends developing a list of NPL sites that are not showing sufficient progress toward cleanup/completion, and then accelerating progress on the targeted sites. The Administrator likely will be looking for quick success stories in selecting the “top 10 list” and a similar top 20 list for best redevelopment opportunities. He has already asked the regional offices to start compiling information that may be used to develop these lists. The impact of this initiative will likely vary from site to site. For some sites, enhanced attention from the Administrator may provide an opportunity for greater efficiency and move more quickly toward completion. For others, it may provide unwanted attention.
The recommendations appear to promote the increased use of adaptive management strategies for major sites. Adaptive management is not new in the Superfund context. The recommendations appear to focus on possibilities for using adaptive management strategies at the front end of mega-site cleanups, especially when focusing on early action remedies to reduce quickly the risks at a site. Such a strategy would fit well with the Administrator’s emphasis on efficient cleanups, but would not necessarily solve some of the problems associated with the longer-term wrap-up and closure of larger sites.
At the more complex or larger sites, the magnitude of oversight costs for EPA, and for affiliated state and tribal reviewers, can seem disproportionate to some PRPs. The report’s recommendations indicate that EPA may be willing to consider using oversight cost reduction or forgiveness as an incentive for meeting deadlines, conducting early action activities, or other good policy objectives. The recommendations also reference the possibility of using third-party oversight and/or single reviewer designations to decrease costs. EPA is targeting FY 2018 for moving forward on these initiatives. EPA may also look for ways to pass oversight authorities to states.
The report also incorporates a private party redeveloper emphasis, seeking to stimulate community redevelopment and site re-use. The recommendations signal the potential availability of funding and improved liability protections for redevelopment sites – and a possible return to initiatives that have lost some steam in recent years. Movement on these recommendations could lead to significant improvements in the availability of pre purchaser comfort letters that would represent a material improvement in protections for such property purchasers and developers.
Most of the recommendations are scheduled for implementation within 30 to 180 days, so the fast time frames imposed for multiple deliverables may be the most significant element of the report. Several recommendations require establishing working groups, reaching out to PRPs for feedback on site redevelopment, preparing policy memos, or coordinating with the Department of Justice to create model documents to speed up the settlement. These activities will need to occur on very tight timelines to meet the Administrator’s goals.
The recommendations would not alter the fundamentals of the CERCLA program, but could lead to flexibility on targeted issues and may lead to useful incentives for participation and private party investment for redevelopment. The most immediate impact, however, would likely be felt at sites selected for the “top 10 list” or those selected as pilots for new policies. Since many of the recommendations require additional policy development and implementation tasks, it is difficult to determine which recommendations may be realized.
With recommendations that span multiple topics and a short timeframe, there should be much news about program developments over the coming months. Going forward, PRPs should follow closely the policy development and may watch for opportunities for comment and for participation in pilots, two types of PRP input that could help to shape some of the recommendations into useful and effective modifications. | 2019-04-23T04:11:40Z | https://www.bdlaw.com/superfund-site-remediation-natural-resource-damages/publications/cercla-task-force-issues-recommendations/ |

Wood Norton is one of those delightfully quiet villages to the north of the Norwich to Fakenham road. There is a beautiful old brick barn at the curve in the road beside the graveyard, and the church is a pretty little thing. The unfinished medieval tower was completed in red brick in the late 17th century, and there is a small but stately 15th century south porch. The nave is tall, but without clerestories or aisles, and the overall effect is that the building is hunching its shoulders.
Big Perpendicular windows, probably contemporary with the porch, mean that the interior is very light. The font is intriguing; it bulges like a ripe cheese, and I assume that it is also late 17th century, probably a replacement for one damaged during the Commonwealth. The cover may well be contemporary, and designed for it. Other than these, the interior is that of a pleasantly restored English village church, well kept and obviously loved.
An early 20th century resident of Wood Norton was William Forbes Norris, who is remembered by a brass inscription. He was attached to the 54th Divisional Cyclist Company, and was killed in the hell of Suvla Bay, along with so many other Norfolkers, in August 1915. He was 21 years old. The insanity of taking bicycles to Suvla, where the cliffs rise hundreds of feet above the sea, tells you a little of what you need to know about those who oversaw the slaughter of the First World War.
Little survives of the medieval life of All Saints, but probably the most memoriable feature here is the corbel head of a pig, reminiscent of the famous ones not far off at Sharrington. It supports the blocked arch to a lost chapel on the south side of the chancel, and if the piscina is anything to go by it probably dates from about 1300. I wonder if it was carved from the life? | 2019-04-25T23:58:38Z | http://norfolkchurches.co.uk/woodnorton/woodnorton.htm |
What Does Acts 26:15 Mean?
The martyrdom of Stephen was the point at which a man named Saul of Tarsus began to breathe out threats and murder against the disciples, and was given permission to arrest both men and women who followed Jesus. It was as he was travelling to Damascus to arrest Christians there, that a light from heaven suddenly flashed around him and falling to the ground, a voice said to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It's hard for you to kick against the goads."
All this had happened many years earlier, but this encounter caused Saul of Tarsus, the great persecutor of Christians, to become Paul the servant of Jesus. It was Paul who was now under arrest and standing in a court of law. It was Paul who was defending himself before the king, the queen and the governor. He was falsely accused of the same things for which Stephen was killed - and his accusers were the same religious and political leaders.
In his defence Paul was relating his life-changing event, on the Damascus road, which caused Him to renounce his Jewish faith and place his trust in Christ, for the forgiveness of sin and life everlasting. He had told the assembled company how he had been rebelling against the truth of the gospel. He explained that he had been and resisting the convicting work of the Holy Spirit and kicking against the goads of his inner conscience.
In presenting the evidence in this judicial tribunal, Paul was relating his personal testimony. He had arrived at the place when the identity of the flashing light from heaven was revealed -"And I said, 'Who are You, Lord?'" Paul continued, "And the Lord said, 'I am Jesus whom you are persecuting."
Paul's personal testimony is indeed compelling, for in one moment... his entire belief system had been challenged. He had heard the apostles preaching and seen their mighty miracles and Paul considered it nothing more than religious 'propaganda'. He was a circumcised Jew and strict Pharisee who performed all the established rites and rituals. He was able to trace his ancestry back to Benjamin and considered himself blameless under the Law and righteous in God's sight. What a revelation he received that day!
He suddenly realised the tales told by the apostles were true! Jesus was the Messiah of Israel about Whom the prophets spoke! Jesus was the Son of the most high God, Who had been wrongly crucified and risen from the dead! Paul had applauded the crucifixion and was diligent in persecuting the Church - only to discover his own belief system was wrong and Christianity was the Way to the only Truth and eternal Life.
We do not know whether the dignitaries in the law-court became believers that day or if the Jews who accused Paul came to faith in Christ. But we do know Paul was a faithful servant of the Lord and his ministry, and that his testimony had far-reaching effects in the spread of the gospel. Paul was an individual who was not ashamed to admit he had been wrong, and to believe on Christ and be saved.. and God used him in His service.
We who have believed on the Lord Jesus for salvation underwent a similar life-changing event when we trusted Christ as Saviour. Like Paul, we can also be used in the furtherance of the gospel if we are willing servants. He may not ask us to stand in a court of Law or experience any of the difficulties Paul underwent - but no matter what we are required to do, He has promised to go before us and provide the sufficient strength we need.
May we be faithful in the work that God has given us to do and be prepared to give an account of the hope we have in us.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word. Thank You for the ministry of Paul and the lessons we can learn from his life and ministry. Give me an understanding heart that is willing to learn, and prevent me from holding fast to any opinion or belief systems that is counter to the truth of the gospel. Give me a teachable spirit I pray and may I be used in the furtherance of the gospel, in whatever way You choose - for Your praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN. | 2019-04-21T08:23:00Z | https://dailyverse.knowing-jesus.com/acts-26-15-b |
