Professor Gillian Bendelow is a sociologist of health and medicine whose research has addressed the complex relationship between emotion, health and illness. Her work is influenced by Hochschild's social theory of emotions as being biologically generated, but shaped and managed socially, hence providing the essential link, not just between mind and body, but across mind body and society. Her doctoral research initiated sociocultural approaches to clinical and academic understandings of pain, presented and published in many formats including her book ‘Pain and Gender (Pearson Education 2000)’. These insights have been used to address other complex conditions such as chronic illness, medically unexplained symptoms, stress and mental illness in her empirical research and publications such as Health Emotion and the Body (Polity Press 2009).
More recently she was awarded a Senior Research Fellowship from the British Academy to work in collaboration with Sussex Police and Sussex Partnership Mental Health Trust to examine the extraordinarily high rates of police detentions of highly distressed and mentally ill individuals who are detained under Section 136 of the Mental Health Act 1983 from the seaside cliffs, highways, railways and other public places across Sussex and the south coast. This programme of research is ongoing in the School of Applied Social Science.

There’s nothing more exciting than buying your first set of dumbbells! You’ve finally made that decision to make an effort to improve the way your body looks and feels.
A set of dumbbells are typically what we all choose to start our weight training journey at home; I know it was the first thing I bought for my home gym well over 20 years ago.
But choosing the Best Dumbbells For Beginners isn’t that easy? The market is flooded with all types of dumbbells, fixed weight, fast to adjust, and the old school plates and bars.
Choosing Dumbbells To Suit Your Training Needs
So what are the right dumbbells for you! This depends on how seriously you are going to take your training.
A lot of people make the wrong decision and buy dumbbells that are too light and thus grow out of them too quickly. Some purchase super heavy sets (expensive) and never come close to lifting the max weight of the dumbbells and instead waste a ton of money.
To be honest, when we buy our first set of dumbbells most of us are unsure of the future demands of our weight training routines, and it’s for this reason, we’re not going to look at heavy sets today nor are we going to look at sets that are too light for any real progression.
We’re focusing on dumbbell sets that sit somewhere in the middle with a max weight per dumbbell of around 25lb (12.5kg). 25lb per dumbbell should give most beginners enough room for some serious growth and will stop any overspending on the heavier sets.
And don’t worry if you think 25lb per dumbbell is heavy? This is just the max weight per dumbbell, all the dumbbells in this review have a starting weight of 5lb and are adjusted in small weight increments perfect for beginners.
Before we get on with the reviews lets take a quick look at Top 3 Best Dumbbells For Beginners Comparison Table.

Best Dumbbells For Beginners Reviews
1. PowerBlock Sports 24’s
PowerBlock are a company known for building high-quality gym gear for our homes. These guys have been around for a couple of decades and specialize in dumbbells.
Usually, I’d hesitate to recommend a set of PowerBlocks for beginners as all of their excellent sets used to start at 50lb per dumbbells.
Thankfully PowerBlock released a lighter set of dumbbells that still boast the superb build quality of their heavier sets but are more suitable for beginners or anyone whos on a budget.
The PowerBlock 24’s are targeted toward the beginner and female market with max weight per dumbbell of 24lb, which is just right for your needs as a beginner.
ThePowerBlocks adjusts in 3lb increments, making them perfect for isolation exercises and beginners that don’t favor the larger 5lb or 10lb increments of other adjustable sets.
Smaller increments allow for proper progression for exercises that only use a single muscle group such as tricep kickbacks and isolation curls etc.
Larger jumps in increments can cause bad form as the weight will be too heavy, causing your body to swing to lift the weight; this is why, the smaller the weight increments, the better for now, for both isolation and compound movements.
But what really sells the PowerBlock dumbbells is their compact size, and this is thanks to the design of the weight stacking system rather than an adjustment system that sits either end of a long fixed bar.
And it’s because of this weight staking system that the PowerBlocks handle only increases in length the more weight you add, it keeps the dumbbell compact and allows for a much more natural feeling dumbbell.
Many other adjustable dumbbells Bowflex, etc., have long fixed handles because of their select dial systems; their adjustment system calls for a fixed length handle, so it doesn’t matter what weight you lift, whether it be 5lb or 40lb the length of the handle stays the same.
Long handles are awkward to train with; they can hit your sides when you curl and clash above your head when you press.
The PowerBlocks are the only fast to adjust set in this weight range that doesn’t include the long handles. So if you’re after an easy to train with fast to adjust dumbbell, the PowerBlocks are the best choice.
Are the PowerBlocks easy to adjust? Yes, one of the most foolproof designs out there, it’s the same durable adjustment system they have been using on all their sets for the past 20 years.
All you have to do to adjust a PowerBlock dumbbell is to remove a magnetic selector pin and push it back into the weight stack to the desired amount you want to lift. Super easy and takes all of 5 seconds!
And for those of you who are tight on space, the PowerBlcokds are a great space saver too. The 24lb sets replace 8 sets of dumbbells or 16 single dumbbells that’s a lot of room to save and useful for people who want to pack away their gym gear after a workout.
Overall there’s no better dumbbell set out there for beginners. This is a dumbbell set that boasts an excellent weight range, a dumbbell that adjusts in small 3lb increments and one that’s fast and simple to adjust. Plus, at less than half the price of its bigger brother, the PowerBlock 50s the 24s are affordable too.
N.B. The PowerBlocks 24s can be bought with either a white or Black handle.
Great build quality for the price
Fast to adjust
Replaces 8 sets of regular dumbbells
Ergonomic handle, with rubberized coating for a secure grip
Heavy-duty steel weight plates – coated with anti-corrosive paint
2. Ativafit 27.5lb Dumbbell
Ativafit havent been around as long as PowerBlock these guys are relatively new to the home gym market, but surprisingly what they seem to be very good at is building quality dumbbells. Their review ratings for their dumbbell sets are excellent people love them!
So, Today we’re taking a look at their 27lb set. Again just like the PowerBlock, the Ativafit 27lb pair are aimed at the beginner and female market.
The Ativafit dumbbell doesn’t use a stacking system, nor does it use a select dial adjustment system, Ativafit has patented its own adjustment system and named it the Glide Tech.
The Glide Tech system is another straightforward to use adjustment system, you just lift and glide it over to the desired weight you wish to lift, its so easy to use it can be done with one hand.
The Glide Tech adjustment system is as fast as anything else out there, but it only adjusts in 5lb increments, which should be ok for most beginners, it’s not a huge jump up in weight each time like the 10lb increments; still, it’s not ideal.
Another nice feature of this set is that the weight plates are not covered in plastic; plastic-coated plates are one of the biggest drawbacks of fast to adjust sets like Bowflex, Core Fitness, etc.
A small drop can crack the plastic surrounding the weight plates, which results in the dumbbells not sitting correctly in their adjustment cradles, and adjuting them becomes difficult. The Ativafit plates are instead coated in anticorrosive paint rather than plastic.
Lastly, the Ativafits handles will be longer than PowerBlocks, and that’s because of the adjustment system. This same issue plagues most of the fast to adjust sets, having adjustment systems on either end of the dumbbell sadly means the handle will always have to be a fixed length whatever weight you are lifting.
However, don’t let the longer handles be a deal killer, we are talking about a lightweight dumbbell here.
A lightweight dumbbell doesn’t use a lot of weight plates to start with; thus, the handles will not be overly long and shouldn’t affect your training negatively, yes longer than the PowerBlcoks but something you will quickly get used to after a few days of training.
Overall a nice looking set of adjustable dumbbells, super fast to adjust and designed well for beginners. Not as versatile or as durable as the PowerBlock set, but if you don’t like the boxy design of the PowerBlocks and prefer a more regular looking dumbbell, the Ativafit are the best alternative.
At the time of writing this review, the Ativafit dumbbells are sold as separates; their advertising can be misleading as many people have ordered one thinking they were receiving the set. If you want the pair remember to order two.
Extremely fast glide-tech adjustment system
Contoured, textured and soft-grip handle
Space-saving design 5 dumbbells in one
Modern design – They look good, no sharp edges clean design
Easy to use, just one adjustament system per dumbbell-fool proof
3. Yes4Alls 50lb Set
The Yes4Alls 50lb set is an old school set of weight plates and bars. Dumbbells like this have been around for decades, and they’re still as popular now as they were when they first came out.
The reason they remain popular is their versatility and their price point. What I mean by versatility is that you won’t outgrow a set like this because even when you’ve reached the max weight of 25lb per dumbbell, you can go out and buy a few extra weight plates to match your strength gains.
Yes, being able to purchase extra plates as you progress in your training is the main selling point of this kind of dumbbell.
In other words, they boast an expandable weight range, but you must remember when you do buy an old school set like this to make sure to purchase the sets that say 1″ diameter bars and 1″ holes in the weight plates. This is the standard size for weight plates and bars, you’ll find its the size most fitness outlets stock.
Something a lot of reviews forget to mention about the Yes4Alls is that only the 40, 50, 60lb sets come with standard 1″ bars and plates,
The rest of the sets, the 52, 105, and 200, all come with measurements different to industry standard so you won’t be able to use the weights with other bars or buy extra weights as Yes4all do not sell plates separately.
So I recommend you stick with either the 40-50 or 60lb sets as they allow for a lot more freedom should you wish to upgrade the set with more plates.
We’re looking at the 50lb set, which is the weight for the whole set including the bars, that’s a max weight of 25lb per dumbbell which you can adjust in small 3lb increments similar to the PowwerBlocks which as we mentioned earlier is great for beginners and useful for isolation exercises.
What I like most about old school sets is how tough they are when you’re training with them, you don’t have to worry if you drop one, there’s no plastic in the build, no fragile adjustment systems. You can train to failure and don’t need to worry about dropping them on that last killer rep!
Yes, the PowerBlocks are durable for a fast to adjust set, but they still won’t take a drop from height, they might survive a small drop or two, but that’s it. The Ativafit probably won’t survive any drops because, like the Bowflex, their adjustment system is fragile; it consists of many moving parts and can break easily if dropped.
Old school sets will take most you can throw at them, and last years of heavy use the heavy-duty nature of the sets is what sells sets like this by the thousands.
And it’s not just beginners who own these sets, the fact their expandable means you can get 100lb on each dumbbell so even serious weight trainers can choose a set like this because they’re cheap, robust and if need be can be loaded heavy.
However, they do have one major drawback, and that’s how slow they are to adjust.
There’s no super fast adjustment systems here; you have to unscrew the collars and manually add weight plates to the bars and then screw the collars back on tight.
Slow adjustment times are not a deal stopper, but it’s something worth thinking about if you don’t like the idea of doing all that plate changing stuff between each set.
Overall the Yes4alls are another excellent choice for beginners; they offer small weight increments, and an expandable weight range, they’re tough and priced well. If you can live with the slow adjustment times, a set of old school dumbbells like the Yes4Alls should prove an excellent buy for your home gym.
Heavy Duty – Durable – No plastic in build
1″ bar allows you to buy additional standard size plates when you need that extra weight
Easy to disassemble for storage
5 yr warranty
Small weight increments
Here’s a quick reminder of a few important buying tips you should consider before purchasing a set of dumbbells.
Handles – usually, the handles of a dumbbell set are the feature I’d recommend you pay attention to before anything else when you buy a set of dumbbells. However, this isn’t of such importance when we look at lighter sets of dumbbells for beginners. And this is due to the lower max weight of the dumbbell.
Typically we’re looking at around 20-30 per dumbbell for a beginner, and the number of plates it takes to reach the max weight isn’t significant enough to call for an extra-long handle – as you would see on heavier sets like the Bowflex 552s and Merax sets, etc.
Still, even beginner sets like the PowerBlock 24s do offer a more compact dumbbell compared to the Ativafit and the old school sets, which all have fixed length handles.
The PowerBlock sets will be more comfortable to train with thanks to the compact design, I recommend even if you are just starting out to choose a compact design.
2. Choosing The Right Weight Range – Just as many people waste their money on a weight set that turns out to be too heavy as one that turns out to be too light. Think ahead about your training, how seriously are you going to take your weight training?
In a year’s time, the last thing you want to be doing is splashing out a ton of cash, replacing a set of dumbbells you grew out of too quickly. Try and choose a dumbbell set that suits your needs now and one that can accommodate your strength gains in the future.
Fixed weight dumbbells are great because you can go out and buy a heavier pair as and when needs, so too are the old school sets, purchasing extra plates to accommodate strength gains is easy as most decent sports outlets sell the 1″ standard plates.
Outgrowing dumbbells is more of an issue with the new fast to adjust sets, as nearly all are non-expandable; once you’ve reached the max weight of a Bowflex, Ativafit even the PowerBlocks 24s, that’s it, you’ll have to spend another $? on a heavier set.
On the plus side, the majority of people do take a long time to outgrow a dumbbell set, some may never outgrow their first set of dumbbells, and if you do outgrow a set of Ativafits or the PowerBlocks 24s and you’ve looked after them, they’ll always sell fast on the used market, you can put that money towards your next heavier set.
3. Weight Increments – Lastly, we touch on weight increments; this is the amount of weight the dumbbell increases when you move up in weight each time.
Preferably we’d love a set of dumbbells that move up in 2.5lb-3lb weight increments as its great for isolation exercises that call for smaller weight increments for proper progression.
But if you cant get hold of a set with 2.5lb -3lb increments, the next best is 5lb; jump-ups in 5lb may still be a little difficult for beginners. Still, it’s much better than the 10lb some bells offer, and unless you are only focusing on compound movements, 5lb increments are the max I’d recommend.
To Sum Up
When choosing a set of dumbbells for beginners, you have to be slightly more careful than when considering a dumbbell set for the seasoned weight trainer.
A beginner doesn’t quite know what their training is going to call for and how fast their strength gains are going to come. For these reasons we didn’t go super heavy with the choices, what we picked out were the three best dumbbells sets for people who have no previous experience of resistance training.
There are a few key factors we must consider, the max weight ‘not too heavy’, compact – for ease of use when training and smaller increments as big jumps in weight are never a good idea for people new to weight training. Plus we needed a set that’s both fast to adjust and durable.
PowerBlock fulfills all the needs of the beginner with their PowerBlocks 24s adjustable Dumbbells, these guys got everything right, smaller increments, a great weight range, fast to adjust, and compact.
Yes, PowerBlock knows what they’re doing when it comes to all levels of lifters, I’ve reviewed a lot of their products and they never fail to impress.
Going Old school is also a good choice, especially for some of you who think you might take your training seriously and don’t want the risk of outgrowing a dumbbell set quickly.
Yeah, the Yes4Alls Dumbbells are a little slower to adjust but what they lack in speed they certainly make up for in durability and versatility. An old school set like the Yes4alls are always an excellent choice for dumbbell workouts.

Marineland is one park where you can burn a lot of calories throughout the day. The park is primarily a marine park with many animal exhibits. The rides are very spread out across a hilly terrain. The park's signature coaster, Dragon Mountain, is unique and one of the world's longest. The park's S&S Tower is at the top of a manmade mountain, affording great views of Niagara Falls if you sit on the proper side. The park has a limited number of flat rides that are worthy of riding if you can find them.
I actually enjoyed Marineland, but this park is gigantic (I swear the walk to Dragon Mountain was a mile) and it really doesn't offer much for it's high admission price. Dragon Mountain is an excellent Arrow looping coaster and is fairly smooth as well. The flat ride collection is an interesting collection of old, obscure Huss models. One particular thing you may notice about this park is that the theme is the color brown, not animals and rides. The animal exhibits SEEMED to be taken care of, but they were very old and are in dire need of refurbishment. Don't even bother with the animal show. The sound system in the amphitheater is awful and you can't understand a damn thing! I found the food delicious with decent prices.
I expected this park to be a smaller version of SeaWorld, but it is nothing like that. The place is around a dozen old flat rides and a handful of generic animal exhibits scattered over an area the size of an average regional park, so a lot of walking will be required. The one show the park has is very uninteresting, and pales in comparison to those at a normal zoo. The park does have two decent rides, Dragon Mountain and Sky Screamer, but at over $40 per ticket it just isn't worth visiting. If you've never been, you've got a discount, and you've got free time in Niagara Falls, it might be worth a half day or so, but otherwise forget about it.
Marineland was a surprise to me. The rides were all very good for their age and they all had long ride cycles. The shows were very entertaining and I love how you can feed and pet a whale. There were no lines on any of the rides. The only flaws about the park is tha there is not alot of shade and that the food was about as good as a high school cafeteria's. But I found that the pros outweighed the cons and it is definetly a park worth visiting
This park suffers from a major deisgn flaw. The front half of the park is reasonably structured, but from that point, it is a straight shoot to the back of the park with only way back.
Sea World has always done a fair job of inoroperating enough marine-based entertainment into the park, with the rides being a well-done afterthought. Marineland, on the other hand, does the opposite. They threw together a bunch of decent flats and one above-avergae steel coaster, and then called it a marine-park in spite of only having one or two actual shows.
In all, do not make this park a part of your trip to Niagra Falls unless you absolutely must. It is very expensive, and not that well-done.
It is worth noting that for such a large tourist attraction, MarineLand is both devoid of any kind of security personnel or an acceptable form of dealing with problems and emergencies, should such situations arise. The park relies on a rag tag group of \"managers\", who may be located some distance from any of the larger attractions towards the park\'s rear, making response time to any incidents laughable at best. MarineLand\'s employees are subjected to abusive and physically violent guests almost daily, and their only from of recourse is to interrupt the ride and or service that they are providing to telephone or radio one of these so called \"managers\" for assistance. The usual response when one arrives some 10-15 minutes later? \"The g
Marineland is very unique, it doesnt have a big number of rides, but the one coaster Dragon Mountain is great and unique, especially for an Arrow looper. The only thrilling flat is Skyscreamer, an S&S combo tower with amazing views of Niagra Falls. The other flats aren't thrilling, but they are rare. The only bit of marine theming in the park is the animal shows, which was odd. Theres a lot of walking, but its not too bad, and there were no lines when I went. A good place to spend a few hours.

When you are diagnosed with a chronic illness like MS, a lot of things change after. If you think your life won’t change you are in denial because it does at some point. Some friends you tell about your diagnosis are there for you no matter what and provide you unconditional support. You know the kind of friend where it doesn’t matter how much time has gone by when you talk or get together it feels like you never were apart when you see each other again. Others unfortunately avoid you after you are diagnosed like the plaque or they slowly treat you different over time. Even people who were friends for awhile before you got diagnosed disappear or don’t want to keep in touch or return your phone calls anymore. At first I used to wonder why they would do this to me or beat myself up worrying if I did something wrong. This has happened to me as I’m sure it has to many of my fellow MSkuteers but this has shown me that its more about the quality of my friends for me now than it is about the quantity. I was once told you can always count your true friends on one hand. This is still true for me today. I have had friends come and go in my life but the closest ones to me in my life I can always count on. I know these chosen few I can count on my one hand who are always there if I need to pick the phone up to talk. I have always taken it personally at first when a friend decides not to be a friend anymore. Why do some friends leave us? It’s not like they can catch MS from us. Do they think for a second that we wanted to get diagnosed with such a nasty MonSter? I might be physically different than I was before but I am still the same person inside. When this happens we wonder why we said anything at all to them about our MS. If they knew us well enough and tried to understand our chronic illness they would know we have good days and bad days like anyone else. It is awful if I have made plans and I end up not well that day so then have to cancel but its not like I wanted to cancel its just that I knew my body wasn’t up to going out. If I know I have something I am going out to coming up I have to prepare and get my rest many days in advance. I know the average person might not have to do this but we with this MonSter do. I mean the energy it takes to get ready from having a warm shower, to doing your hair & make-up to getting dressed takes a lot out of us in terms of physical exertion. It’s like I am all dolled up ready to go out and I have no more energy left to actually go out sometimes. My close friends that know me well know this and don’t even second guess if I can’t go or can’t stay out too long.
Going through some good times and hard times with many friends (even some friends who also have MS) has also taught me the ones worth having around don’t make things hard on you. They just love you for being you and you don’t ever need to worry about their caring or loyalty because they are always there if you need them. These are the true friends you focus your time and energy on because lets face it life is too short and none of us know how long we have on this earth. Some friends may come in your life for a season and then go after awhile and that’s okay too. They came into our lives for a reason in the first place and were not meant to stick around for the long haul. So take the time when you can to show these close friends in your life how much they mean to you. These are the friends I truly cherish.

Until next month,

As liberals’ divisiveness on law enforcement and racially charged protests continue, good officers are being sent packing for speaking out against the politically correct left.
Here’s a case that has literally just happened in Louisiana.
Police Chief Skylar Doré posted on his personal Facebook page about how he believes cops and those in law enforcement are getting a raw deal.
He spoke out specifically against former President Barack Obama and the “war on my brother[sic]. (White police officer).”
This is well within his rights as this police chief is frustrated by the killings of white cops by supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement and anti-cop movements that are currently ravaging our country.
What does he get in return? A pink slip.
Jonesville resident Sharon Stevenson voiced her concerns about Doré’s comments at Tuesday’s town council meeting.
After the meeting, Stevenson said while residents may say Doré is a racist, she does not know him well enough to draw that conclusion. It is beside the point, anyway, Stevenson said.
“My main concern is with everything going on right now, the whole country is hostile, if you are chief of police, why would you want to say something like that?” Stevenson sad. “If he had been just a white American wanting to rant and rave … everybody has their own opinion … but my thought is that when you’re in certain positions, you have to present yourself in a certain way.”
In a time when race seems to be dividing the country, Stevenson said, officials should be tempering their words and encouraging unity.
“I don’t care what he thinks about the president, and I’m sure the president doesn’t care either,” she said. “Our country is in trouble, and we need to be praying. I was hurting, too, when I saw (the news of the Baton Rouge officers killed). I had tears in my eyes.
What Mrs. Stevenson fails to realize here is that BLM and Obama are the problems.
They caused a racial divide because they are taking isolated events and thinking that they are what normally happens in the world.
The facts point to other such realities. Realities like thousands killed from black on black violence in Chicago, but you never see Obama, BLM, or the liberals there protesting crime, do you?
Other residents also pleaded for Dore’s take down.
Jonesville Councilwoman Loria Hollins said she first learned of Doré’s comments after receiving multiple calls and messages from residents.
“The Town of Jonesville is predominantly black, and I think people were thinking, ‘What about us?’” Hollins said.
Doré apologized for his comments and said they came out of frustration after the Baton Rouge shooting, Hollins said. Doré told residents at the meeting he knew Baton Rouge police officers personally, Hollins said.
“(As a) Christian, I forgive him,” Hollins said. “We all say things in the heat of the moment. We all say things we can’t take back, and this is just one of those things you can’t take back that has affected people in a lot of ways.
“He said he just got frustrated, and that’s understandable … they put their life on the line every day so I can see the frustration … but what would you do with your frustration if something like that happened in Jonesville?”
Skylar Dore was just fed up. He had seen enough and voiced his opinion, a perfectly legal thing. Him being taken off the force for speaking out against people like him being murdered is unacceptable in today’s society.
Also, being called a racist by anyone for these remarks is not only disgusting, but also factually incorrect. No where in his remarks did he say white people are superior to any other race.
If you support our cops and Chief Dore, share this post and expose the lies and hatred our brave men and women in blue are facing!

Daemen Refugee Teen Empowerment Program Again Selected for Funding by Erie County
Refugee Teen Empowerment Program is Open to all Students Regardless of Nationality
December 19, 2011
Media: Mike Andrei
Daemen Center for Sustainable Communities &
Daemen College has received notification from Erie County that the College's Refugee Teen Empowerment Program has again been selected for funding. The total anticipated award for 2012 is $7500, with $3750 approved from January - June. The awards are issued on a six month cycle.
Since 2005, Daemen College, in partnership with Buffalo Public School teachers and community-based organizations, has been making a difference in the lives of refugee teens by helping them achieve their dream of succeeding in school by providing valuable after-school tutoring and mentoring through The Refugee Teen Empowerment Program.
“Daemen College got me motivated and inspired me to keep going in my education.. . .I love going to school, but I thought that after I graduated from high school I would not go to college because of my financial needs. However, Daemen College has geared me up and I’m not giving up on my education." - student Oluwakemi I. (Nigeria), 2007.
“Refugee youth face many challenges,” stated Cheryl Bird, Executive Director of the Daemen Center for Sustainable Communities & Civic Engagement. “Language and cultural barriers are exacerbated as newcomers are required to enroll in school immediately upon entering the United States. The school system places refugee youth according to their age, not their abilities, putting them at risk for academic failure.
“Our program focuses primarily on helping refugee teens--juniors and seniors--with Regents exam preparation, SAT/ACT preparation, and preparing refugee teens to consider college. In addition, Daemen undergraduate service learning students serve as tutors and mentors for refugee youth.”
One of the highlights of the program is the opportunity for the refugee teens to visit Daemen College. This provides an opportunity for the youth to learn about and envision postsecondary education. Since January of 2010, 130 students have actively participated; in the past two academic years (ending 6/2010 and 6/2011), 88 percent of the participants who were seniors, or 23 students, graduated from high school.
The Refugee Teen Empowerment Program is open to all youth regardless of nationality; the overwhelming majority of youth, approximately 95 percent, are refugees. In 2010, the majority of youth who participated in the program (56 percent) were of African descent; 56 percent were female. Of the teens who participated in 2010-11, 94 percent were classified as English Language Learners and 17 percent were classified as Students with Interrupted Formal Education. All of the program participants live below the poverty level.
In 2011-2012, the Refugee Teen Empowerment Program is being hosted at Lafayette High School; the program began October 3, 2011. Certified teachers develop and oversee the program. Students participate in after-school tutoring and mentoring and receive a healthy snack. Daemen undergraduate service-learning students serve as tutors and mentors, offering valuable exposure to college life and the possibility of college after high school.
Currently, 59 students have signed up for the program; the countries represented include Congo; Kenya; Somalia; Thailand; Nepal; Burundi; Burma; Puerto Rico; and Cuba. Participating students speak the following languages: Arabi; Swahili; Somali; Zigua; Mai Mai; Chin; Karen; Arenni; French; Burmese; Kurundi; Kinyarwanda; Kiwahali; Nepali; Keyzeegala; and Spanish.
Evaluations are done at the end of fall and spring semesters. Regents exams in the area of greatest need for each student are used as a pre-test to determine the weakest areas for learning. The post-test is a second Regents examination in the targeted subject area to determine the extent to which the students improved. The Castle Online Learning system also provides systematic feedback to students. The students complete a narrative evaluation to provide feedback on the program at the end of each semester, in addition to evaluations by instructors. The percentage of students who are seniors who graduate from high school are also tracked.
A partial list of seniors from 2008 to 2011 and the colleges to which they continued includes:
Hodan ’08 - (Somalia) - Buffalo State College
Saladi '08 - (Somalia) - Daemen College
Sounai '08 - (Afghanistan) - Daemen College
Alan '08 - (Brazil) - Daemen College
Manal '09 - (Syria) - Erie Community College
Mberwa '10 - Buffalo State College
Marisol '11 - (Puerto Rico) - Erie Community College, Nursing
Yamuna '11 - (Nepal) - Daemen College, Nursing
Melanie '11- (Puerto Rico) - Erie Community College, Nursing
Khagi '11- (Nepal) - Erie Community College, Nursing
Saynab '11- (Somalia) - D'Youville College, Pre-Med
Durga '11 - (Nepal) - D'Youville College, Nursing
Der Lwe '11 - (Burma) - Erie Community College, with plans to transfer to Buffalo State
Daemen College has successfully procured funds from The Bettina Weary Trust, The Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, Erie County, The American Association of University Women Buffalo Branch, and The Youth Character Development Foundation to provide services to refugee teens. We are seeking partners to provide funding for teachers, books, and bus tokens for youth who are beyond walking distance from the school. We welcome opportunities for collaboration and fully support public recognition activities.
About Daemen & the Center for Sustainable Communities & Civic Engagement
The Center for Sustainable Communities and Civic Engagement at Daemen College (CSCCE) was formally established in Fall 2001, through a grant from The John R. Oishei Foundation. The CSCCE provides education and resources to the Daemen community, and the community-at-large, about issues of sustainability. The Center partners Daemen College students and faculty with local underserved communities to promote a lifetime commitment to civic responsibility, with a focus on building assets for generations to come. For the past four years, Daemen College has been named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, and in 2008 was one of nine institutions in New York State to receive the special designation “with Distinction” for our outreach with at-risk youth.

U.S. Senator Rand Paul expressed concern for the current state of the Republican Party and the individual freedoms of the American people in a brief public address at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum at the Institute of Politics on Friday.
The forum was the last to be moderated by outgoing IOP Director C. M. Trey Grayson '94, who announced his resignation earlier this month.
Speaking for ten minutes to a room that had reached full-capacity, Paul—who is considered a contender for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination—described his political views as “libertarian-ish” and called for serious reconsideration of the policies set forth by the previous two U.S. presidents.
Paul, who is embarking on a Northeast tour that includes a stop in Maine to speak at the state’s Republican convention, questioned the constitutionality of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, which allows terrorism suspects to be detained indefinitely on U.S. soil, and the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act, which was renewed by President Barack Obama in 2011 and allows for roving wiretaps and surveillance of suspected terrorists.
Paul said that he believes that in recent years Americans have begun to sacrifice their liberty for national security.
“I hope you join with me saying enough is enough,” Paul said. “We need to get our Constitution back.”
Before the event began, IOP president Eva A. Guidarini ’15 announced that the forum would be Grayson’s last, prompting a standing ovation as he entered the room.
Though Grayson lost a Republican primary race for a seat in the U.S. Senate to Paul in 2010, the two have remained friends since, according to Grayson. During the forum, Grayson said that his loss in Kentucky was, in a sense, a win because it led him to his current position.
In an interview before the forum, Grayson said that bringing Paul to speak at the IOP had been one of his goals ever since becoming the director three years ago.
“It’s special to me to have my old rival, but, more importantly, my fellow Kentuckian, be the last person of the forum I introduce before heading back to Kentucky,” Grayson said.
After his address, Paul answered questions from the audience for 40 minutes on topics ranging from tax cuts to abortion laws.
Although he avoided any explicit mention of his 2016 presidential prospects, he made several comments on controversial policies like the Affordable Care Act, which he said he would change if given the opportunity.
“President Obama says that you are not smart enough. You are not smart enough to choose your own insurance,” Paul said, adding that medical coverage should be a personal decision.
Referring to the future of conservatism in the U.S., Paul, who is also the son of three-time presidential candidate and former U.S. representative Ron Paul, told the audience that “the Republican Party will adapt, evolve, or die.” He also called for a diversification of registered Republican voters if the party is to succeed in future elections.
“If you go to a Republican event, it’s all white people—not because we’re excluding anybody. We just haven’t done a good enough job encouraging people to come into our party,” Paul said.

Well readers, the 2008 Galway Races are virtually upon us and with the prophets of doom and gloom working overtime for the last two months this year’s festival has taken on the role as a barometer of the country’s financial state as well as being the top racing festival in the fair island of ours.
It is true that ‘the tent’ is gone but there were plenty of people queueing up to the place of the ''Bertie Bash'' including the county football and hurling boards so the locals will have chance a plenty to enjoy the corporate entertainment at Ballybrit this week.
Despite the much publicised economic downturn every one of the 51 races at the festival will have a titled sponsor which is of great credit to John Maloney and his team at the track.
The twin features as always are the two early closing races, the William Hill Galway Plate on the Wednesday and the Guinness Galway Hurdle on Thursday which of course is also Ladies Day.
The €144,000 added William Hill Galway Plate is this year not numerically as strong in entries as other years but there is most definitely a quality look about those at the top of the handicap. The burden of top weight of 11st 10lbs has this year been allotted to the Paul Nicholls trained Hoo La Balloo, the likely mount of the reigning Irish champion jockey Ruby Walsh has some top class form on his CV.
Hoo La Balloo has top class form
Still only a seven-year-old the son of Unfuwain was travelling ominously well in last year’s renewal when he was brought down six from home just as Ruby had asked him to take closer order — although they still had almost a mile to travel, WE only had to see the look on Ruby's face when he came back to the parade ring to meet his trainer to realise that this was one that got away.
Since then he has added to his tally by winning twice when successfully beating Blue Superbe under amateur Nick Scholfield at Kempton Park and then proving too strong for Magic Sky and subsequent Cheltenham festival winner Tiger Cry at Ascot in November under Liam Heard.
That contest was over the minimum trip of two miles which in my opinion cast doubts over his ability to last the testing 22 furlong trip but you then must fathom in the fact that he finished third behind Monkerhostin in the Bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown over three miles and five furlongs.
The fact of the matter is though that he was given a superb ride by Walsh that day just creeping in to the contest slowly from the rear until the stamina question raised its head racing to the final fence. The Master of Ditcheat also looks set to be represented by the progressive six year old Oslot — a six-time winning six-year-old and the Jim Lewis owned Oumayade who may be a slight doubt having disappointed when a well backed favourite in the Tote Summer Plate at Market Rasen last Saturday.
Another cross channel contender could be the Mark Rimell trained Crossbow Creek who is another that might struggle on the climb from the final fence. The home defence will be a strong one with the two time winner and Plate regular Ansar the highest weighted runner on 11st who sees himself 17lbs better off with the top weighted Hoo La Baloo this time round, despite the fact that Dermot Weld's course specialist is now 12 years old.
He shaped with promise in a flat handicap at the Curragh on Oaks Day behind Flashy Beau.The key to Ansar’s chances lie in the underfoot conditions, as genuinely fast ground will see him there with every chance turning down the hill and relatively speaking he has little mileage on the clock for one of his age — but what a possible swansong it would be to see hime triumph once again.
Santa’s Son is looking good
For me though the main contenders for overall honours are the John O'Shea-trained Santa’s Son a good winner at Roscommon earlier this year under top weight from Nassaro with last year's Plate sixth Oodachee behind. In that contest he made all the running under John Cullen, jumping well in the main before staying on well from the final fence, and he then warmed up for the task at hand with a run on the flat at Killarney behind Mountain Snow.
Off a weight of 10st 9lbs he looks to me to have been prepared all year with the Plate in mind. The other one that interests me is another Plate, regular the Niall Madden-trained Ursumman the son of Leading Counsel had run with credit in the last three runnings of the Plate including a good second to Ansar three years ago.
But the sneaking suspicion in that he barely gets the trip of two and threequarter lengths so ground conditions are so important to his chance as the faster the better is the requirement here. This year Ursumman has had just two outings over fences that last being an OK effort behind Dbest at Punchestown in late May.
It may be that he runs best when fresh so that lack of a recent outing should not inhibit the chances of this very slick and economical jumper but the one fear is that the climb from the final fence in the dip will tax his stamina and a place in the frame might be his only reward.
Others that will have their supporters are the Tony Martin-trained Green Mile who had been the subject of good market support following a win over hurdles at Killarney last week but he may lack experience for the task in hand; and Piano Star, a battling winner of the Midlands National at Kilbeggan for Athenry owner John Kelly; plus last year’s second and third Ballyagran and Cool Running but for me it's Santa’s Son to hopefully bring Christmas in July for us punters.
The Galway Hurdle Picture to me is probably as wide open a contest for the Thursday feature as there has been for years.
With original top-weight Accordian Etoile recently retired, the burden of top weight looks likely to be shouldered by the Tom Hogan-trained Kalderon who although quite consistent in both handicap and conditions races doesn't to me look capable of giving weight all round in this ultra tough contest.
The potential class horse of the race is the Dermot Weld-trained Majestic Concorde a winner on the level at Killarney the son of Definite Article whose progeny have a distinct preference for fast ground ran with credit last winter in good company when ground conditions would not have suited especially at Chelthenham behind Fiveforthree where although finishing only 12th he was eased considerably once his chance had gone at the second last.
He will be a couple of points shorter in the market than he should be, being trained by the master of Rosewell House. King Rama, trained in Waterford by John Kiely, is also close to the top of the market having landed the odds in a couple of soft handicap hurdles at Sligo and Killbeggan earlier in the summer when he exploited a very lenient handicap mark.
He has plenty of form to his credit in top notch flat handicaps but whether he can handle the pace in a race of this quality to me is questionable, as his jumping will come under severe pressure. Others that will no doubt be involved at the business end of the contest will be the Tony Martin-trained pair Northern Alliance and last year’s course winner Leg Spinner, Roman Villa from Grand National-winning trainer Gordon Elliott's yard, the ultra consistant Eagle’s Pass, and last years runner up Freeloader trained across the water by Richard Fahey.
In my opinion the best value to be had lies with a horse who was most unlucky in the corresponding race three years ago when a well supported 13/2 favourite he tipped up at the second last in the race won by More Rainbows. The horse in question is the Noel Meade-trained eight year old Definite Spectacle who warmed up for the task at hand with a fine second behind Larkwing in the Grimes Hurdle at Tipperary on Sunday last where among others the well touted Megan’s Joy was behind. Definite Spectacle has a telling turn of pace and although his attitude has often been questioned with his high head carriage, his telling turn of foot can be exploited on the run in.
Currently trading at about 20/1 in the ante post market the price is most appealing and I think he will certainly give us a run for our money. Others who may well be in the front line rising that famous climb for the second time are Lyceum, Quinnmaster and the Tom Foley-trained Dariak.
With entries for other feature events still not to hand at the time of writing it is quite hard to assess these contests but in the Tote Mile on Tuesday I think that the Dermot Weld-trained Absolute Image may well finally taste success in a contest that he had finished both third and second in in the past two years.
He clearly acts on the track and it just could be a case of third time lucky for the usually blinkered grey. Though if it's a banker you want for next week look no further than the Weld-trained Designated Decoy in one of the three-year-old maidens.
Others that if they take part deserve a second glance are the Willie Mullins-trained Mountain Snow, a winner and who has performed with great credit in his previous efforts at the festival; Carlessimo from the Noel Meade yard who has regained his confidence with winning a Wexford claimer three weeks back while local trained Val O'Brien's yard have seen a mini revival in their fortunes of late.

We would love an artist to come and work with us over a five week period (or longer – if you fancy it).
You don’t need to be a Christian but you do need to appreciate that we are and that some of our themes will be (but we are very excited about the way in which those themes might be interpreted by others)
Basically we want someone to come and work with us and help us to think creatively about some of the major narratives of our Christian heritage. It can be paint, sculpture, mixed medium or stuff we can’t even think of yet.
We (about 20 adults and 15 children) meet every Sunday at 3pm in Kidsgrove and would love someone to help us explore our creative potential. We can’t pay you – but we can give you a lot of exposure (online and offline) and we have loads of room if you wanted to exhibit and/or sale (and a very trendy coffee bar that we can staff) we might even be able to offer you some temporary studio space (permanent with a bit of negotiating).
So if you fancy a residency for five or so weeks get in touch. If you’re not sure but want to try a one off – then get in touch.
We would love to hear from you.
If you’re not the arty type then please spread the word.

Change management vs. managing change: subtle difference in wording, massive difference in mindset
When organizations go through major changes–whether by choice or requirement–most significantly underestimate what it really takes.
- The magnitude and the impact of the changes at every level of the organization
- The breadth and depth of behavioral changes required at every level of the organization
- The breadth and depth of the infrastructural changes required at every level of the organization
- The skill-sets needed to manage the changes
- The effort and resources needed to ensure that the changes are adopted and stick for the long-term
As a result, change management is often overlooked–an after-thought or add-on to the work that’s required. Most organizations stop at the implementation stage and don’t understand what’s needed for the organization to adopt these changes on a continuous basis.
But what is change management?
Change management is the methodology for making sure that changes within an organization are implemented efficiently and that the long-term benefits are fully realized. But while it can be referred to as “doing change management” we prefer to define it as “managing change”–a subtle difference in wording, but a massive difference in mindset. Managing change isn’t a separate function of implementing change. Change management needs to be built into every strategy as an integral part of the plan. Correspondingly, it needs to be designed, executed, and managed with the same respect and rigor as the rest of the program. It’s much easier to design in the change from the onset, rather than managing it after the program has started.
What does it take to recognize and respect that change? First, you have to do your homework and be able to see the magnitude of the change from every angle. You need to be able to articulate to your organization what the vision is, what the changes will be, and the difference between the “now” and the “what needs to be.” What’s changing and why? What’s expected of the organization and all the people within it? Understanding the change and assessing where the organization is in comparison to the change is the first and most critical element of the initial change management process.
Changes can be simple, or they can be highly complex. But regardless of the change, the emphasis needs to be on the broader impact of change, particularly on people–both individually and as part of collective teams. Change is always met with a required behavioral adjustment, so everyone in the company needs to understand what’s in it for them and choose how to adapt. If not done right, change can be tremendously disruptive.
And the consequences of getting this wrong?
Well, for starters, behavioral changes might not be identified and consequently might not stick, resulting in an unsuccessful change program–a waste of time, resources, and money. Second, you can overpromise and underdeliver as an organization. This creates a gap. Without a clear mission, people will face increased confusion, cynicism, and uncertainty. Friction. And let’s face it–nobody likes feeling that way. The bigger the gap, the bigger the confusion.
In order to understand what’s required, you need to apply the same rigor of problem-solving as you would with any technical problem. When you talk about change needing the same respect as the technical, that carries implications in terms of how you manage a program, and ultimately, how you manage a business. You need discipline and problem-solving in place. And on top of that? The big “L” word: leadership. A forthcoming blog will look at lessons in leadership with respect to managing change.

On the back of the bottle of charcoal lighter fluid I just threw away:
Warning: Combustible Mixture
"Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window."

Can a stone be a critter? Placing multispecies studies in conversation with the geological turn, this article examines the place of a particular sacrifice stone in the ambit of a coastal mining development in northern Norway. The argument develops a reading of resource capitalism as ontological project—using the stone as a lens to explore imaginaries of relational personhood, the distribution of harm, and the limits of vulnerability. In closing, the article relates the “life” of the stone to ongoing discussions about the Anthropocene and how to develop novel, more inclusive research imaginaries—specifically, research imaginaries that address (and subvert) a modern “geontology” that renders the inorganic as passive, inert, and freely available for exploitation.

Contrary to union claims, there was no significant lag in response time to a three-alarm blaze that left at least three families homeless and destroyed a Yonkers home, a spokeswoman for Mayor Mike Spano said Thursday.
Barry McGoey, president of Local 628 of the International Association of Firefighters and a frequent critic of the city's budget cutbacks, had charged that a system designed to alert fire stations failed and delayed by several minutes the response to Wednesday's fire at 68 Crestwood Ave.
But Christina Gilmartin, Yonkers communications director, said city officials pored through the logs and determined McGoey's assertions were exaggerated.
"Despite what the union head said, the difference in response time was in seconds, not multiple minutes," she said.
Gilmartin said the first firefighters arrived at the fire in under six minutes, less than a minute over the expected response time.
Still, Gilmartin acknowledged that the 911 system used by both police and firefighters suffered a hiccup and dispatchers had to call individual stations. She said Spano is calling for an investigation to ensure it does not happen again.
Ordinarily, a 911 call is dispatched to a computer system that sends alarms to several fire stations simultaneously.
"That didn't happen yesterday," McGoey said. "Nothing came over the radio."
Gilmartin said initial indications suggest that the problem was caused when a system glitch occurred while routine maintenance was under way.
Firefighters were dispatched to 68 Crestwood Ave. at 1:55 p.m. and raised a third alarm as the fire spread to a neighboring home at 70 Crestwood Ave.
Matt Damon, who was washing his car in his girlfriend's driveway at 70 Crestwood Ave., said it was only five minutes from the moment he first smelled smoke to when the fire reached the roof, fully engulfing 68 Crestwood Ave.
About four feet separate the two houses, Damon said, and "the rooflines almost touch." As flames climbed from 68 Crestwood's first floor, Damon said he realized his girlfriend's home was in danger. He said neighbors moved quickly to help after making sure no one was still inside the homes.
"It's a tight-knit neighborhood, and a lot of people are distressed with seeing neighbors go through this," Damon said.
No injuries were reported, firefighters said. A kitten was rescued from 68 Crestwood Ave. and returned to a woman who lived in the building, fire officials said.
The blaze may have started with an electrical malfunction, fire investigators said.
"Someone said they think they saw an air conditioner sparking, but they can't be sure," Lt. Achille Celio of Engine Company 306 said. "From there, it spread pretty fast."
Concerned passersby were joined by Spano, who stopped to look on as firefighters attacked the flames.
"What I saw here today obviously was Yonkers' finest doing what they always do, which is coming to work, working hard, putting out a pretty devastating fire and getting it out and saving lives," Spano said.
The Red Cross was called in by the Yonkers Office of Emergency Management, Red Cross spokeswoman Carolyn Sherwin said. Sherwin said two adults and two children lived at 68 Crestwood Ave. and that four adults and one child lived at 70 Crestwood.
City officials have sparred with union officials over a contract under which more than 70 percent of Yonkers' 465 firefighters had salaries of $100,000 or more in 2011.

The South African wheat miller in the passenger seat beside me tried to bait me with tall tales from his homeland: lions roaming the city streets of Durban and diamonds so abundant that you can just pluck them out of the rivers. But I wasn’t a gullible rube who doesn’t know where Durban is, and I wasn’t falling for his raillery.
We had met over breakfast at the Brayton House in Grand Rapids, where we were staying — he on a business trip without his family or a car, me on a vacation around the state of Michigan. When Henry inquired about my plans for the day, he asked if I would mind if he accompanied me. Chances were good that I’d never meet another South African wheat miller in my lifetime, so I invited him along to ride shotgun.
We hopped in my car and headed to Hickory Corners, home of the fantastic Gilmore Car Museum — a sprawling repository of 400 automobiles spanning 100 years housed in restored historic barns.
The museum started as a hobby of Donald S. Gilmore, when he began acquiring vintage automobiles in the early 1960s. While restoring a 1920 Pierce Arrow, Gilmore’s hobby rapidly progressed into a passion, and he soon purchased 90 acres of land in southwestern Michigan to hold his collection. His wife, Genevieve, suggested that he open his collection to the public, and, together, they launched the Gilmore Car Museum in 1966.
Henry and I began to explore the museum, marveling at the incredible machines that used to run along our roads from the very late 1800s through much of the 1900s, and the extraordinary care with which Gilmore and the staff have treated them over the decades.
The collection starts with a Locomobile from the 1890s, when the horseless carriage was considered a passing fad exclusively for the amusement of the rich. Clearly, those early predictions were entirely wrong — today, 253 million cars speed along (or sit in mind-numbing traffic) streets, bridges, and highways in the United States alone.
As we popped into the barns dotting the green grounds, we found highly polished Ford Model A and Model T cars — all black; a 1903 Michigan; a 1929 Dusenberg that cost $20,000 to purchase at the time — a veritable fortune that only the über-rich could afford; mint Lincolns and Chryslers; the spectacularly failed Edsel; the odd 1946 Stout; and a 1947 DeSoto. Cars from the 1920s and 1930s with massive bonnets, giant headlights, and wide running boards conjured up images of flappers in high spirits and fringed dresses. I could almost see gangsters and their molls fleeing from coppers in a 1934 Packard.
The collection does not restrict itself to only passenger cars. It also includes racing cars, motorcycles, trucks, and Checker cabs. In addition to these fantastic vehicles, the museum has assembled more than 1,500 distinctive hood ornaments, also called car mascots, and tells the story of how they evolved from mere thermometers and radiator caps to corporate logos to symbols of the car itself. The speed of the car was represented in the chrome dogs, antelopes, birds, and rabbits sitting at the front edge of the hood, or in the glass archer on a Pierce Arrow, or in the “Spirit of Ecstasy” on a Rolls-Royce. These ornaments also provide a miniature lesson in 20th-century art, as they flow through the great styles of the 1900s: Beaux Arts, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Modernism.
It was too early in the day to stop for lunch at the museum’s George & Sally’s Blue Moon Diner, a historic roadside diner relocated from Meriden, Connecticut, but it would have been fun to sit at the counter and enjoy a blue-plate special and some homemade pie just like its customers did 75 years ago.
Instead, we poked around a recreated 1930s Shell gas station, complete with all the tools of a full-service garage you’d expect from that era, a sign advertising “Shellubrication — The Modern Upkeep Service,” and the smell of motor oil. Here, the price of a gallon of gas is permanently fixed at 18 cents.
When we returned to my rental car, Henry and I exchanged glances that reflected out identical thoughts: My Toyota Prius, although highly practical, just didn’t seem as exciting or as interesting as any of the cars we had just seen. And we both knew that gasoline on the way back to Grand Rapids was not about to cost 18 cents.

01 Feb WSU Tri-Cities professor finding ways to overcome water-related issues that hit close to African roots
By Maegan Murray
Stemming from his background growing up in Ethiopia, Yonas Demissie views water as a commodity more valuable than oil.
In the nation of more than 94 million people, just 42 percent have access to clean water in Ethiopia. That is why the WSU Tri-Cities assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering has directed his research efforts toward the monitoring, exploration and evaluation of the resource that is vital in sustaining life.
“Here in the U.S., we take water for granted,” Demissie said. “Our daily water use here is as much as 10 times than that of a person in other countries where water is in limited supply.”
Demissie said he has personally never experienced not having access to clean water, because he grew up in Ethiopia’s capital city of Addis Ababa where infrastructure is more advanced than other parts of the nation. But that doesn’t mean the issue doesn’t hit close to home.
“I may have grown up in the city, but the water scarcity issue and famine in the country are regular news,” he said. “It always bothered me to see images of starving children. There is no excuse for a child to get hungry. As a society, we should all be responsible for that. I want my research in water to be my contribution to society. Water is a very critical resource that needs to be accessible, protected and properly managed.”
Demissie is currently working on a myriad of research projects at WSU Tri-Cities that focus on various aspects of water-related issues.
“In terms of overall impact, any study on understanding and properly managing water resources is key,” he said.
Climate research on Department of Defense facilities
Demissie is currently half-way through a four-year project studying the impact of climate change on military infrastructure, focusing specifically on whether defense infrastructure and facilities could handle increased flooding and abnormal increases and fluctuations in precipitation. His research is funded as part of a $1 million contract with the U.S. Department of Defense.
“DOD has many facilities across the globe and many of those installations are close to coastal areas,” he said. “They are worried about sea level rise, increased extreme storms and how that will affect their facilities and operations. Our research is to assess flooding risk with the DOD facilities’ existing storm water management system and whether it is sufficient or needs to be upgraded.”
Demissie said when there is an increase in the temperature, there is an increase in the atmosphere’s ability to hold more water, which increases the chance of heavy rainfall. He said he and his team are currently analyzing the historical climate data to see if precipitation has increased over the years, whether storms now last longer and whether there has been an increase in the intensity, frequency and duration of the precipitation.
A change in precipitation caused by climate change and/or other factors, Demissie said, could also have drastic impacts in other areas such as agriculture.
“In our regions, for example, how snowfall on the Cascade Mountains is going to be affected due to climate change will be an important issue in determining future agriculture productions,” he said. “Even though the total amount of annual precipitation may not be affected, there may be a shift in when that precipitation may occur.”
Instead of most of the precipitation occurring in the winter and early spring, as it is now, Demissie said it may occur mostly in winter, or even in the fall. He said farmers may not have the water when they need it for their crops and that the timing shift could have a significant negative effect.
In a similar study funded by the state’s water center, Demissie recently completed evaluating and updating decades-old design standards used to construct water related infrastructure, such as culverts, bridges and dams, for all the counties in Washington state.
Additionally, he and his team were also recently awarded funding from the state’s water center to study drought characteristics in the Yakima basin and to evaluate effectiveness of a $4 billion water management plan currently under consideration for tackling drought in the region.
“Climate change is one of our generation’s major issues that we are going to have to deal with,” he said.
Reducing effects of nitrates and phosphors stemming from biofuels industry on Gulf of Mexico
Researchers are making significant strides in the biofuels industry, creating fuels for jet airplanes, cars and more that help reduce the United States’ carbon footprint. WSU is leading the industry in research for biofuels with its Northwest Advanced Renewables Alliance (NARA). But increases in the crops in the Midwest required to make certain biofuels may be having a damaging effect on ecosystems in the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico.
Demissie is studying the impact of increased nitrates and phosphors from farming practices related to the biofuels industry in Midwest on the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico, and how they can minimize those issues.
“In the Midwest, they are making biofuels from corn, which requires increased nitrogen and phosphors applications, which end up in the streams,” he said. “Increased nitrate and phosphors lead to algal bloom, which eventually prevents vegetation and fish from growing in lakes and other water bodies.”
Demissie said increased algae prevents the natural process of photosynthesis from happening in the water as the sun can’t reach the lower levels and life essentially ceases from occurring. Because the Gulf of Mexico is connected to the Midwest through the Mississippi River, those nitrates and phosphors run directly into the gulf, causing algae bloom that currently covers areas as large as Connecticut and Rhode Island, combined.
“The Gulf of Mexico is one of the important regions for fishing,” he said. “We are growing more corn in the Midwest to meet demands of biofuels, but at the same time, we could end up killing an important industry downstream. We want to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
Monitoring groundwater contamination at Hanford
Since he started at WSU Tri-Cities in 2012, Demissie has consistently worked with Hanford Site contractors and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory staff in monitoring and modeling the groundwater flow from the site to ensure there is no radiation and other toxic contamination with vital sources such as aquifers and reservoirs used for human daily water use.
Contamination from the Hanford Site stems back to the facilities’ production of plutonium from World War II and the Cold War. Chemicals were released, both planned and unplanned, into the soil around the site. Scientists have since worked to develop and improve upon models that are used to predict the flow, as well as determine which areas they should treat.
“We are consistently monitoring groundwater contamination for Hanford, using various monitoring and modeling projects to tell where it’s flowing and how fast it is traveling,” he said.
“We’re always working to improve methods and models for doing so,” he said. “We’ve made significant strides in reducing the contamination from those early years.”
Researching means to open access for Nile River
Demissie is presently working with a team of people to examine current flow patterns and allocations of the Nile River, and how they can more effectively be shared by all African countries associated with the river.
The Nile River is the world’s longest river, flowing 6,700 kilometers through 10 countries in eastern Africa, where water is mostly scarce. Demissie said any water project in the upstream tributaries of the Nile has been under political contention, as countries like Egypt and Sudan use the river as their main source of water and electric power generation.
Ethiopia, where 80-90 percent of the Nile water originates, historically was not using the river despite being hit by regular famines caused by highly variable rainfall in the region. However, Ethiopia is now constructing the largest dam in Africa on the Blue Nile, the main tributary of the Nile River, for electric power generation. Political officials in Egypt are worried that it would limit their access to the river, which they said they have a natural right to two-thirds of the resource, as indicated in The Nile Waters Agreement that was signed in 1959, which Ethiopia never signed.
Demissie and his colleagues Gabriel Senay, Naga Manohar Velpuri, Stefanie Bohms and Mekonne Gebremichael completed a study in 2014 that integrated satellite data and modeling to detail the variability of water sources in the Nile Basin. Their study revealed that about 85 percent of runoff generated in the equatorial region (Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda) is lost along the river pathway that includes the Sudd wetlands, which has an area approximately twice the size of Maryland. This proportion is higher than the literature reported loss of 50 percent.
In addition, their study found that the expected average annual Nile flow at the Aswan Dam in Egypt is 13 cubic kilometers greater than the reported amount of 84 cubic kilometers originally reported. Demissie said that means there is a flow amount that equates to more than half of Colorado River of water each year that was not accounted for during the 1959 water agreement.
Demissie said the loss in runoff and flow volume at different sections of the Nile River, however, tend to be more than what can be explained by evaporation losses, suggesting a potential recharge to deeper aquifers that are not connected to the Nile channel systems. He said the study indicated the need for increased instrumentation detailing the hydrometeorology of the basin.
“Our knowledge regarding water availability in the Nile Basin and how much and where water is lost in the system is limited,” he said. “But our analysis shows that we get more water into the system than what was originally estimated. There is extra water that Ethiopia can use.”
Demissie said he hopes his group’s initial research will lead to bigger developments in assessing the direction, flow and amount of water from the Nile, which could lead to positive legislation among the African countries that may help lead to an agreement that would benefit all.
“Having a good understanding of water as a resource and coming up with a better management strategy I believe is critical for most societies,” he said.

On a tropical island just off the coast of Nigeria, hundreds of engineers work around the clock to produce liquefied natural gas at a plant the size of Lower Manhattan.
Operator Nigeria LNG Ltd says it will decide later this year whether to invest more than $10 billion to boost capacity by 40 percent. That would allow the Bonny Island terminal — an hour’s ferry ride from the oil hub of Port Harcourt — to export as much as 66 million cubic meters (30 million tons) a year to markets in Europe and Asia.
NLNG’s shareholders — Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Total SA, Eni SpA and state-controlled Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. — must weigh the benefits of expanding their profitable venture against the threat of higher taxes, pipeline vandalism in the Niger River delta and volatile gas prices. Those concerns have already delayed the project first mooted in 2012.
Any further interruptions will increase the risk that Africa’s biggest oil producer misses the global transition to cleaner fuels and a chance to reduce its stuttering economy’s reliance on crude.
“Nigeria needs to take the opportunity,” said Maggie Kuang, an analyst with Bloomberg New Energy Finance in Singapore. “The next few years are critical for investment decisions. If Nigeria does not take any action, it will fall behind.”
Last year, the West African nation shipped 46 million cubic meters of LNG — almost all from Bonny Island — making it the world’s fourth-biggest exporter behind Australia and Malaysia, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Excellent value, easily fitted filter. Immediate delivery. Many thanks.
What a bargain. Bought a single one to try it and I was so impressed that I have just bought another two. I got 2 for less than I usually pay for one. A very good buy and good value. You won't be disappointed. Well packaged and a speedy delivery.
Does what it says at the fraction of the price of the official Samsung filter, arrived the next day as well
These do the job well - have used a number of times with siemens american style fridge/freezer - highly recommend
Great Customer Service
Oh! I really thought I had bought the wrong filter for my LG Fridge/Freezer! I was told so by two male friends!! So you can imagine my delight when I phoned up the company , I sent a picture of my old filter and they confirmed I did order the right one and I was told how to fit it? So pleased with myself and very pleased with the help over the phone. Many many thanks
A little wary being a first time buyer of a non makers manufactured product but now no problems with this item. Fitted easy no difference to makers and a very good price.
British Made Perfect
Very quick and reliable service also the best price i could get for this filter. British made which was even better
For the price, I bought two. My rational being that one never has one when one needs one. It changed easily with the old version. This uses a push fitting instead of the collar and nut, so it's simpler to replace next time without tools and it works a treat. Don't forget to flush through the initial water into a bucket or something, this is standard stuff for any filter, but if you forget to do it, you get black charcoal dust being pushed into your fridge. Worth a mention that there are no 'chemical tastes', and in my final choice of purchase. I'm happy enough to buy this product again. The delivery was quick too.
Replaced my original filter with this one, no problems so far only that it will take a while for the water to run clear other than that speedy delivery!

Is Your Long-Term Boyfriend or Husband One of the Most Annoying People You Know?
I am reading an early copy of a book called Annoying: The Science of What Bugs Us, in stores next month. Authors Joe Palca and Flora Lichtman explore what things tick us off—annoying sounds, smells, cell-phone talking strangers…and of course, spouses!
They say that many couples will call their partner "one of the most annoying people I know," if not "the most." The following can be true:
The thing that attracted you most to the person in the first place becomes annoying. If you liked that he was cool and reserved, later you'll complain he doesn't share his feelings. If you liked that he seemed successful, one day you'll say that he's a workaholic. Interesting! And the more a person displays this trait, the more annoying it becomes. It's "hedonic reversal but backward," meaning that a chili pepper, upon repeated tasting, can become pleasant—but the opposite is true for good grooming (becomes high maintenance) or a caring trait (becomes controlling), or being agreeable (becomes passive).
Repetition—small (and rare) things, like leaving hair in the sink, can become annoying over time. But there's a thing called equity theory, where if you feel you're being treated fairly in the relationship, you're more willing to overlook annoying things and you'll do fewer things deliberately that will annoy him. But if you're getting stuck with the kids all the time, then your irritation knows no bounds.
Is your partner one of the most annoying people you know? What annoys you? Did it annoy you in the beginning? What attracted you to him in the first place? Can you overlook the annoyance? Does your relationship need to become more equitable?

Get ready for more choice in choosing your cable bundle.
Despite cord-cutters shrinking the overall number of pay-TV homes, viewers won’t be stuck with a very limited number of cable bundle options, 21st Century Fox Chief Executive James Murdoch told investors on Wednesday.
Murdoch said he expects the US pay-TV business to shrink about 1 percent per year in the near term — although the company’s cable channels, like Fox Sports and NatGeo, are eyeing growth overseas.
“The real story is we will see a rebuilding of the bundle,” Murdoch told attendees at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference. “We’ll see a lot of packaging options.”
Currently, Verizon FiOS is offering “skinny bundles” that allow users to pick a slimmer, less pricey channel package despite pushback from Disney’s ESPN and other programmers that argue they violate their distribution deals.
The new Fox CEO argued in favor of price flexibility, saying distributors should begin offering differently priced monthly packages between $10 streaming services like Netflix and the $90-to-$100 bundles
He also weighed in on the industry-wide challenge of trying to measure audiences that are increasingly streaming shows via services like Netflix. Nielsen’s traditional ratings don’t capture a growing number of viewers who watch shows through mobile apps, gaming devices and other platforms.
“It’s not something you can solve unilaterally, but you don’t wait for everyone,” he said.
The CEO signaled that while sports is an important business for Fox, it doesn’t have to be all things to all people, adding that single-team regional sports networks face a tough path. “Let’s pick the markets and teams that matter and build over time.”
He added that Fox, which has a majority stake in the YES Network, the RSN of the Yankees, had chosen to stay out of some deals such as the LA Dodgers.
Fox owns the TV rights to the LA Clippers of the NBA and has been negotiating to extend that deal.

As mentioned in the previous article VoIP technology allows you to send digital voice packets through the IP network, i.e. through the Internet connection.
Due to the structure of the protocol used for this purpose, it is possible to achieve almost total convergence in communications, as through a unique network is now possible to transmit different types of digital communication packages, such as voice.
Due to the possibilities offered by the use of such technology, the VoIP reports a lot of advantages for users requiring constant communication, beyond the place where they are.
Which are the main advantages of this technology?
Note that one of the main benefits of implementing VoIP technology for communications lies in the significant reduction in operating costs. Through the use of VoIP, it is possible to avoid the high costs of telephony, especially in cases of companies implementing business strategies of Call Centers, or even for users who often make long distance calls. Usually the calls made between different VoIP devices are free, while users established between VoIP and PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) must be paid by the first, but at greatly reduced costs, up to 50 times less than conventional communications through local operators.
Moreover, with technological advancement and computer within the scope of the codecs for VoIP at present it is possible to communicate through reduced bandwidths, as digital voice packets are typically smaller and smaller, so that travel at higher speed. For these reasons, communication via VoIP technology is being increasingly used for international calls, due to their low cost of operation.
VoIP phones can be used anywhere in the world, meaning that even though the user is traveling outside their country of origin, you can continue using the service under the same parameters and the same rates, provided they can establish Internet connection.
Another big advantages to using VoIP technology is the ability to communicate the type of conference, which may involve more than one user simultaneously. More services should be noted that applications using and special services, such as the popular Skype, VoIP technology also allows integrating other communication services such as instant messaging, email and video conferencing.
Disadvantages of VoIP
Like any other technology, VoIP architecture also poses certain flaws that call into question their integrity in the eyes of the users who want to incorporate this new method of communication. Delays and / or cuts during a call via VoIP can reach occur late arrival of packets or even cuts information, although it is important to note that this only happens because of the restrictions that many companies that offer the service can get to put in your application, according to the service you have contracted.
Another negative aspect in communication through VoIP technology is the possible deterioration of the communication to be received by the user. Generally this occurs when there is significant congestion on the network or when you use a low bandwidth that allows access to an appropriate speed of connection.

For example, a few mornings ago I notice that it's time for Yoav to get up. So I nudge him to wake up, and he says he's getting up. I hear him get up. And then, eyes closed, I ask him, "Yoav, why is your pillow still snoring?" Apparently Sarah Rochel came in in the middle of the night, and I did not hear her. Crazy. (I also asked Yoav why he didn't tell her to go back to her bed. He said he tried to, but apparently the thought didn't make it all the way from his brain to his mouth. Tired very much he's been, yes.)
Another case in point: last night around 2, I hear Sarah Rochel calling for Mommy, so naturally I wake up Yoav and send him in there. (At nights, we're still a man-to-man defense.) He goes in, settles her back down, comes back to bed...
When he gets up at a quarter-to-you've-got-to-be-kidding to give his early morning shiur, he walks into the living room and hears... snoring. Sroch is curled up, sleeping on the couch.
Now, to her credit, when we asked her about it today, she did say "I went on the couch and not in your bed!" As in, gosh, wasn't she being thoughtful? No explanation of why she felt the need to leave HER room, though. But again, I didn't hear her go! Before Shlama-llama was born, that was unheard of!* And now it's been several times. Look, Baruch Hashem I HAVE heard her many many times as well, that is, when she's in real distress (and Mom, that climbing and falling 4 AM incident when you were here that I didn't hear... a fluke, undoubtedly!). It's just her harmless meanderings I've missed. Like, when she climbs into Yoav's bed - alright. When she climbed into MY bed, I DID notice... but only when she was actually next to me, taka. Used to be I'd have heard her before she opened her door.
Anyway, the point is... Shoot, there's no point. But it was something to write about. :)
Bli ayin hara, Shulamis has been sleeping be-yooo-tifully. Shhh!
*I only noticed this heinous pun on the reread. I am disappointed in myself for not having written it intentionally. Sigh... another sign of my slipping mental acuity.
And now, pictures.
Shulamis and Abba, taking a nap on the couch. Despite the pacifier's location, it was the girl who spat it out, not her father.
Showing off her baby blues in the tubby. As 'dark' as we think this kid is (next to Sroch) you can see how pale she is next to her father's hand there.
Sarah Rochel looks really pretty, like really lovely in a 'kerchief' as she calls them, no? Reminds me of one of my favorite backhanded compliments when I was single - "Wow, you're going to look so nice when you can cover your hair!"
The picture doesn't capture it properly, but I was just so struck by the differences in their lengths!
Finally, FINALLY a picture of all four of us! This was after multiple takes after candlelighting tonight. I enjoy especially how Shulamis already has the 'I can't believe they're taking ANOTHER picture' look about her.

Fågeln i mig flyger vart den vill (in English, “The bird in me flies wherever it wants”) is a biographical picture book about Swedish artist Berta Hansson’s (1910–1994) upbringing in Hammerdal, Jämtland in the early twentieth century. Proceeding from Berta Hansson’s paintings, letters, and diary entries, Sara Lundberg depicts the longing for freedom of a young girl who wants to break away from the demands of the peasant community and go her own way.
Berta grows up on a farmstead. She is the youngest of four siblings. Her father is hard-working, while her mother is bedridden. Berta’s mother is everything to her. She has kind, beautiful brown eyes and is the only one in the family who understands and encourages Berta’s artistic interests. Berta wants nothing more than for her mother to take care of her, but she cannot. The doctor said so. It can be infectious, tuberculosis.
Berta draws to keep her mother alive, to make her better. When she grows up, she’s going to be an artist, but she doesn’t say this too loudly as she knows it’s not a real job ... not for a girl, at least. Her father wants her and her sisters to be housewives, but that’s not what Berta wants. That really isn’t what she wants at all. She’s at peace among the cows in the meadow. She can draw there. Some evenings she sneaks away to the doctor’s house to look at all the paintings on his walls.
Then one morning her mother dies, and in her grief Berta loses faith. She couldn’t make her mother better by painting, so what difference does it make what she does with her hands?
But time passes, and the doctor who shows an interest in art steers Berta towards further studies. Berta’s resistance gradually grows to the life dictated by her father and tradition.
A recurring motif in Berta Hansson’s art is birds. In Lundberg’s story, birds become the symbol of Berta’s longing for freedom, her protest against convention, and the demands for submission dictated by her surroundings. With poetic precision Lundberg describes art’s close connection to life and vitality:
I sneak away to the big ditch again. The gault shimmers on the bottom. I dig. The clay is formed without me having to decide anything. It just is. And suddenly, a movement against the palm of my hand. The little heart of a bird begins to beat. Wings trying to get free. And I’m scared that I’m holding too tightly, So I open my hands... and it makes a run for it and flies!
The power of fantasy and creativity is also manifest in Lundberg’s pictures, where a harmonious collage of blocking and water-based techniques offers fresh painting and a powerful palette that radiate both melancholy and refractory simplicity. This is an aesthetically pleasing book, both beautiful and thoughtful in its design. The epilogue by the cultural journalist and author Alexandra Sundqvist adds a further dimension to the piece of women’s history depicted here.
The artist and author Lundberg was educated in Sweden and the US and has had exhibitions at art galleries in Sweden and several other European countries. She has been awarded numerous literary prizes in Sweden for her picture books, and in 2014 she was included in the IBBY Honour List. Fågeln i mig flyger vart den vill has been awarded the prestigious August Prize as well as the Snöbollen Prize for best picture book of the year. Lundberg was previously nominated for the Nordic Council Children and Young People’s Literature Prize for Vita streck och Öjvind in 2011.

12 Days Of Christmas, Day 3
Welcome back to my 12 Days of looking back on 2018 and today I’m revisiting the Whitchurch restaurant, Docket No.33.
Fine Dining Comes To Whitchurch
A beautiful new bistro restaurant opened in Whitchurch, Shropshire early in the year. Owned and run by Stuart and Francis Collins, who had spent the last few years living and working in the Middle East. They’ve both been involved in the hospitality industry for many years.
It’s a beautiful restaurant with lovely stone floors with some unique features incorporated from local historic buildings. The menu is modern British, supplied by many local food businesses. The sourcing of incredible local produce is key to the delicious menu.
Food Photography Pour Shots
I’m a bit undecided on the pour shot. Sometimes I feel it’s been done to death and other days it just looks nice. I think I like to go for a different angle where possible, taking a traditional idea and mixing it up a bit.
Share this Post
Stuart Collins was one of Mrs T’s head chefs during her time in commercial kitchens and the core team are still good friends today. Such is the way of the very small world of the restaurant industry. These influences were all part of who she is today as a chef and what our food blog, Salted Mint, is built upon.
If you’ve never paid the blog a visit, please do, it’s full of delicious recipes. Most take no more than 30 minutes from start to finish, we take you step by step through the process and they’re guaranteed to be delicious.
I kept things simple for the lighting as usual as I tend to do for most of my restaurant food photography location shoots.
Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you tomorrow for day 4 of my 12 Days Of Christmas. Please share any of my posts which you enjoy on your social media, it’s very much appreciated.

The Home Buying Process:
Taxes, CDD, HOA, and Homestead Tax Exemption:
Types of Resale Properties in Today's Market:
Before You View a Property
There are many different aspects of property viewing. When buyers have the opportunity to view a property, there is inevitably a bit of excitement that goes with the entire process. This excitement can lead the buyer to forget some of the most important aspects of preparation. A buyer needs to prepare, and prepare carefully before viewing a property. This checklist will help you to be more prepared for your next viewing.
Is Tampa Just the Right Spot?
While Florida, in general, is thought of as a paradise, there are some very real concerns when it comes to living in Tampa as opposed to visiting the area. There is humidity and the possibility of hurricanes. The humidity can affect your comfort index and the hurricane chances will increase the overall home insurance costs in most cases. Taking these into consideration before viewing a property will help a buyer to make an informed decision on the home.
Financing the Purchase
If there is a need to sell your current home before buying a home, that aspect needs to be completed before looking at a ton of homes. The selling process is taking longer in today's market than the buying process. The buyer will not want to get hopes elevated only to see the home go to another buyer due to a lack of funds.
The mortgage market is nothing like it was just a few years ago. A buyer needs to be prepared to wait longer and face more stringent questions and regulations in order to qualify for a mortgage. The higher the down payment on the new home, the less hassle the buyer will face when obtaining a mortgage on the home.
Know the Comparables and the Market
Many buyers will know that the comp home sales in an area will help to set the price for the remaining homes in the area. But, that is often where the buyer stops learning. The market is a volatile creature and needs to be researched and learned before jumping in to the sea of homes for sale. This is usually what the real estate agent will take care of, but a buyer can help to understand the home buying market if they learn the changes and fluctuations as they happen.
Know the Neighbors Near and Far
It is important to not only know the immediate neighbors to a home but the neighbors that reside within a few miles of the home as well. Taking a little drive through the streets, weaving in and out of the neighborhood will save a lot of time and angst if you find something that you certainly do not want to live near.
One Realtor For All
The MLS listings are unique, in that, they are available to all real estate agents, even if they are not the ones that listed the home. A home buyer will not need to hire multiple real estate agents for each home they wish to view, just one that has access to all of the listings.
Ready and Willing?
A buyer, at times, will believe they are ready to jump into the home buying market, but have a few second thoughts. Just as in a marriage, the buyer and the home will be joined for many years to come and that union must be one born out of love not second thoughts.
Double Dutch the Market
Double Dutch is a jumping rope game that requires careful timing and attention to the most intricate of details, the real estate market is just the same game. Hiring a real estate agent with their finger on the pulse of the market is the only decision when it comes to jumping in that real estate market and coming out with the best home possible.
If you are in the market to buy a home, viewing a property might seem like a fun journey, but you must be considerate of the real estate agents that have listed the home. If you are not serious about buying a home and just want to take a look for the fun of it, wait until the open house. But, if the time has come and you are ready to take that big jump into Tampa home ownership, call Tampa4U, we are ready to find that dream residence for you.

This is an example of high tensile 12 gauge steel thickness after being attacked with a fire axe for under a minute. It would not take much longer to have a hole large enough to get inside.
This is a 12 gauge safe that was involved in a home robbery. The robbers used a saw with a diamond blade and a pry bar to break into it. It is rumored that burglars used a sledgehammer or axe to break through this 12 gauge safe and it took about 5-6 minutes.
We read this 12 gauge safe attack was done with the hammer pictured, in less than 3 minutes by beating on the top seam of the safe. The body was skip welded.
There is virtually no difference when it comes to the amount of time it would take to penetrate high tensile 10 gauge and 12 gauge. As you can see from the picture above, it only takes one blow of the fire axe to pop a hole in it this large.
This is a 10 gauge safe pictured laying down on the left. According to the owner, the robbers started at the bottom of the safe and cut the frame. Then, they pried the lip out past the bolts in the door. They used a saw to cut the lip at each point till they needed to pry past the bolts to open it.
This is a 11 gauge safe breached with a saw and crowbar.
A firemen named Richard sent his old 7 gauge Sturdy Safe to us for free repairs after a few burglars broke into his home and tried using his fire axe to open it for about 10-15 minutes. They beat off the handle and dial. They also tried to hack the top right hinge off, and pushed the safe down on it's side in further attempts to open it before they gave up.
The Following Was Posted In The CONTRA COSTA TIMES News Paper In Hercules CA: 3 Arrested After Hercules Robbery, Stand Off. By Karl FischerArticle Launched: 06/04/2007 01:49:09 PM PDT: "Police were called to a home at Lupine Road and Dogwood Court, where family members in the front yard told them that armed men had run into the home. The home is near Lupine Hills Elementary School, which was evacuated shortly before 2 p.m. Hercules Police Chief Fred Deltorchio said the incident started about midday on the 100 block of Golden Rock Drive, where a homeowner either came upon a burglary in progress or was the victim of a home- invasion robbery involving three armed men. One man put a gun to the woman's head and ordered her to open a safe that held guns as part of her husband's collection, Deltorchio said." ---- What wasn't mentioned in this article, was that the robbers attempted to break into the safe 2-3 hours before the woman came home, using various power tool methods. The safe they attacked, but failed to open, was our Sturdy Gun Safe. These photographs show the safe after Sturdy Safe employees had already removed the door to fix it. As can be seen, the safe body, though suffering comedic blemishes (after over two hours of being attacked), is structurally unfazed. The door (though not shown in these pictures) was in equally good shape.
The Following Was Posted In AR15.com
Launched: 11/21/2009 Screen Name MITCHELL states: "So, my house was robbed. The (burglars) went at the safe with a crowbar that in retrospect, should have been in the safe. The (burglars) didn't thinks to use the impact drill or 3" grinder on the floor next to it, rather they tried to file down the hinge with a hand file. It seems they gave up after about 8.7 seconds...I couldn't get in and had to call a locksmith. One of the relockers had been activated by the (burglars) trying to pound on the combination shaft. This guy breaks safes every day and it took him 4.5 hours to get in. He said it was the best gun safe he's ever opened. He also opens jewelry safes and much harder things to open. It was entertaining to watch the opening and repair. To repair it, we replaced the hardplate and put bearing steel in the holes of the door."

SANTA MONICA—On Monday, January 25, the United States Department of Justice announced that former Los Angeles City Councilmember Mitchell Englander was sentenced to 14 months in federal prison for his conduct surrounding his obstruction of a public corruption investigation into his acceptance of gifts, including $15,000 from a businessman during trips to Palm Springs and Las Vegas in 2017.
Englander, 50, of Santa Monica, was sentenced by United States District Judge John F. Walter, who noted that Englander’s “elaborate and clandestine scheme” to cover up his conduct has “undermined the public trust.” In declining Englander’s request for probation, Judge Walter stated that “justice [was] owed to society.” Englander was also ordered to pay a $15,000 fine.
Englander schemed to cover up escort services, expensive meals, cash payments, and other gifts offered to him from an individual identified as Businessperson A, who attempted to increase his business opportunities in Los Angeles. From August 2017 until December 2018, Englander willfully and knowingly concealed and falsified material facts pertaining to the federal investigation. He covered up that he had accepted gifts during trips to Palm Springs and Las Vegas and that he directed a witness to lie and mislead federal investigators.
While serving as a reserve officer with the Los Angeles Police Department and city councilmember, Englander, “illicitly cashed in on his status as a purported public servant in casino bathrooms and through VIP bottle service, luxury dinners, and behind hotel room doors,” prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum. “Over numerous incidents of escalating corruption and self-preservation, [Englander] sold out both oaths, cheaply and repeatedly.”
During the trip to Las Vegas, Englander accepted from Businessperson A $10,000 in cash, $1,000 in casino gambling chips, a hotel room, a $2,481 group dinner, and $34,000 in bottle service at a nightclub. Businessperson A also paid for two female escorts and instructed one of them to go to Englander’s room.
At a golf tournament in Palm Springs, Englander accepted $5,000 in cash from Businessperson A. After the trips to Palm Springs and Las Vegas, Englander arranged for Businessperson A to pitch his business to a friend of Englander’s who was a developer.
Englander sent a reimbursement check to Businessperson A after learning about the federal investigation and backdated the check “to give the impression he intended to reimburse the expenses before the FBI reached out to request an interview,” prosecutors noted in the sentencing memorandum.
Englander attempted to coordinate statements he made to the FBI and federal prosecutors with Businessperson A, on at least three separate occasions, and counseled Businessperson A how to lie and mislead federal prosecutors conducting the investigation.
On three separate occasions, Englander also made false statements to the FBI and federal prosecutors in 2017 and 2018.
Englander “was motivated by plain old-fashioned greed, selfishness, and a desperate desire to cling to his status as a wealthy and powerful City official,” prosecutors argued in the sentencing memorandum, which notes that the corrupt conduct has “cause[d] lasting civic damage by undermining the City’s faith in its public servants.”
He became the first person to be sentenced in relation to Operation “Casino Loyale,” the ongoing corruption investigation into Los Angeles City Hall that has also led to criminal charges against former City Councilmember Jose Huizar and 10 other defendants. Huizar is the lead defendant in a racketeering indictment that alleges he agreed to accept $1.5 million in illicit financial benefits while serving as the leader of a criminal enterprise. A jury trial for Huizar and several other defendants is scheduled for June 22.
Several individuals charged in the investigation have also pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing. Two corporate entities have entered into non-prosecution agreements and have paid a total of $2.25 million.

My name is Kayden, which might be an unusual name, but it has a special meaning. You see, I was found in a yard living under a truck and was all dirty and crying. The lady there knew my foster mom so she asked her to help me. My name is actually a combination of the two children that she has. The little boy was so happy that the the kitty was named after him. See my video playing with Mr. Lion at http://youtu.be/lWmefOwyMkg .
Unfortunately, the doctor found that I tested positive for the Feline Leukemia virus, so now I have to be all alone and can't play with the other kitties here. When I first got here I didn't even know what a toy was, but now I love to play with the balls and I even like to steal my foster mom's little stuffed lion and wrestle with him (that's him in one of the pictures). My foster mom says I have the prettiest green eyes and markings. I LOVE kitty treats (my favorite are the Whisker Lickins) and chicken! I am very cuddly and love to play. If I am not an only kitty, I would need a playmate who also has the same affliction as I do. But don’t worry, you cannot catch it—it only affects cats! I would love you so much if you give me a chance!
SPECIAL NEEDS: FeLV positive Should not be housed with other cats who do not have feline leukemia. If you would like to find out more about me, email firstname.lastname@example.org or call 920-234-5995. If you are interested in adopting, just fill out a cat adoption application at http://purrfectmatch.rescuegroups.org/forms. There is no obligation, and the information you give helps us help you.
Your message has been sent to Purr-Fect Match Animal Rescue, Inc..
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

I recently received a Twitter comment from someone regarding Scrivener and help with backups using Windows. I’m not entirely sure what the issue was but I’ll go ahead and address the subject today. Here are the basics with project backups for Scrivener:
- Keep Scrivener up to date to minimize any issues with the software. To do this click on Help and then on Update Scrivener.
- To manage where you backup your projects click on Tools and Choose Options:
- Once the Options window opens click on Backup at the end of the menu on the left:
- Once you have the backup settings displayed you can click on the Choose button to change the default location of project backups. If you are not changing it but just want to know where the backups are location it is listed there also and you can click on the Open Backup Folder to view backups immediately.
- You can also handle an individual backup from the project you have open. Click on File and hover your cursor at Backup to see the fly-out menu. Here you can choose to backup the current project to a specific location. You can force an immediate backup instead of when you close the project. You can also choose to exclude the project from automatic backups.
Options for Backup Locations
Here are a few thoughts about where to backup your Scrivener projects.
1. On your computer – you can choose to back them up on your computer. However, unless you are backup up the Scrivener backup folder using something else – software or external drive/cloud then you run the risk of losing data should your computer fail in some way.
2. On an external drive – you can backup directly to an external drive but this requires that you have the drive connected whenever you close Scrivener for automatic backups on close or when you manually backup your projects.
3. On the cloud – I have many of my projects located in my Dropbox folder so it is automatically synchronized on the cloud while my automatic backup runs to my computer. I also backup my Dropbox folder to and external drive.
Help Thunderclap my appearance on Beyond the Cover
To recover a project do the following:
1. Open your backup folder where you will notice that all the project backups are in .zip folders
2. Open the .zip folder for the project and date to which you want to recover.
3. You will see the .scriv folder for the project. Copy the folder to the appropriate work location or a restore folder of your choosing (WARNING: If you overwrite a current folder with a backup folder you may lose changes since the last backup). From any location you should be able to open the project by double clicking on the .scriv folder or using Scrivener to browse to and open the project folder.
For more details on Scrivener backups check the manual by clicking on Help and then Scrivener Manual – the subject is at Appendix B – Options, page 322, B9 – Backup.

Hypothetical: Bank’s borrower is in a lawsuit. Legal fees are mounting, with no end in sight. The attention of borrower’s management is consumed by it. Borrower’s business is suffering. And Bank wants borrower to get the case resolved.
Question: Can Bank suggest, insist, or even demand, that customer schedule a mediation session for the lawsuit as soon as possible and make every effort to get the case resolved?
Concern: Bank might be accused of exercising control over the customer and incurring lender liability risks.
Answer: Such a suggestion, insistence or demand should not create lender liability risks. However, if it occurs amid a series of other actions showing an improper level of control, the suggestion / insistence / demand will add weight to those other actions.
Legal Standards for Improper “Control”
Here is an overview of “control” issues for lender liability concerns:
–“There is no clear definition of what constitutes a creditor’s control over its borrower. Rather, the analysis is fact intensive and depends on the circumstances of an individual case.”
–“To establish domination and control by a lender, the allegations must indicate something more than a monitoring of a debtor’s operations and proffering advice to management, even where the lender threatens to withhold future loans should the advice not be taken.”
–“[L]enders should be aware that the more control they have and exert over their borrowers, the more likely it is that they will be held liable under any number of theories.”
–“On the other hand, lenders should generally feel comfortable that they are unlikely to be exposed to liability if they abide by the express terms of their agreements with their borrowers, do not misrepresent facts to their borrowers or other parties, and recognize that their borrowers’ property, even if that property constitutes the lenders’ collateral, is not their own.”
Quotes are from: R. Krasnow, M. Kessler, G. Fail and J. Sussberg, Lender Liability Considerations, a chapter of “Reorganizing Failing Businesses,” a 2006 publication by the American Bar Association.
Encouraging a borrower to mediate a dispute is like encouraging a borrower to see a lawyer or an accountant to resolve a tax issue. There is nothing about such encouragement that is an improper exercise of control. Indeed, giving such encouragement is prudent.
Insisting or demanding might not be the best idea. But it shouldn’t rise, in and of itself, to the level of improper control.
If at any time a bank or other lender senses that a mediation session might help its borrower resolve a dispute, lender should feel free to encourage the borrower to do the mediation.

HBO renews 'Big Love'
Network orders fourth season of polygamy dramaHBO has given a fourth-season pickup to relationship drama "Big Love," from executive producers Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman.
"The stellar reviews and solid viewership this season confirm that this is a signature series for HBO," said Michael Lombardo, president of programming at HBO. "The series keeps getting better and better."
Although "Love" got off to a sluggish start in the ratings this season, each episode has added viewers. Sunday's outing drew 1.5 million viewers, up 29% from its January season premiere despite competition from the Super Bowl. Combined with encore episodes, the series averages about 5 million viewers.
Also, critics have been effusive about this season, which is always a factor for a subscription service like HBO that relies on generating a public perception of exclusive, high-quality content.
Production will begin later this year for a 2010 release. The show is executive produced by Playtone's Hanks and Goetzman and series creators Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer.

Trenin Named AHL Player of the Week
Milwaukee, WI—The American Hockey League announced today that Admirals forward Yakov Trenin has been selected as the CCM/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending December 1, 2019.
Trenin notched five goals and seven points in three contests last week, helping Milwaukee extend its winning streak to a franchise-record 13 games.
On Wednesday night, Trenin scored twice and recorded an assist as Milwaukee defeated Manitoba, 6-3. On Saturday, he scored again before assisting on the decisive tally in a 4-3 overtime victory at San Antonio. And on Sunday, Trenin tallied both Admirals goals, including his second game-winner of the week, as Milwaukee took a 2-1 OT decision at Texas.
Trenin is currently tied for fourth in the AHL in scoring with 25 points, totaling 13 goals and 12 assists in 18 games for Milwaukee. He also ranks second among all league forwards with a plus-13 rating and is one off the overall lead with his three game-winning goals. The third-year pro has appeared in 141 career AHL games with Milwaukee, totaling 33 goals and 44 assists for 77 points. Trenin, a 22-year-old native of Chelyabinsk, Russia, was a second-round choice by Nashville in the 2015 NHL Draft and has appeared in one game with the Predators this season, making his NHL debut on Oct. 19.
In recognition of being named the CCM/AHL Player of the Week, Trenin will be presented with an etched crystal award prior to an upcoming Admirals home game.
Trenin and the Admirals look for their 14th consecutive win when they visit the Texas Stars at 7 pm on Tuesday night. Milwaukee’s next home game will be on Friday at 7 pm at Panther Arena against the Iowa Wild.

I've been attempting to track down transcriptions of original law documents for medieval Germany and I finally found the Golden Bull of Charles IV (1356). This transcription was found in A Source Book for Mediaeval History (1905) by Oliver J Thatcher and Edgar H McNeal, pgs 283-305 with additions from Select Historical Documents of the Middle Ages by Ernest Flagg Henderson, pgs 220-261 (1892). Both of these books can be found on Google Books for free download.
While putting together this post, I realized that transcriptions and translations are interesting subjects. I was making some comparisons between the 1905 book and the 1892 book. There are just enough differences that it shows the vagaries of the individuals who originally translated/transcribed the information, especially since each claim to have come from a German text called Ausgewlhlte Urkunden by Altmann and Bernheim. It shows what was important to that particular individual, because neither of these appear to be complete interpretations. I only say this, because each has information that the other does not, therefore, which is the most accurate?
160. The Golden Bull of Charles IV, 1356.
Altmann und Bernheim, no. 29.
Various things had led the emperors to follow the policy of conferring crown rights upon their princes. In order to carry out their Italian policy the Hohenstaufen had sacrificed the power of the crown in Germany (see nos. 110-112, 136, 138, 139), and after the interregnum the electors pillages the crown at every opportunity (see nos. 149, 153). The result was that the crown was stripped of authority, while the princes had developed almost complete sovereignty in their lands. Charles IV, in the Golden Bull, attempted to fix as in a constitution the actual rights and status of the princes. He saw that Germany was no longer a monarchy, but a federation of princes.
Although from 1273 the number of electors was fixed at seven, it was not always clear who these seven were. Thus in 1313 two men claimed to possess the electoral vote of Saxony, and two others, that of Bohemia. Charles IV made provisions to prevent the recurrence of such a situation by attaching the electoral vote to the possession of certain lands (see chaps. VII, XX, and XXV).
Charles IV was himself king of Bohemia, and, knowing that it was hopeless to attempt to restore the German kingship, he exerted himself in the Golden Bull to secure for Bohemia all the advantages possible.[Select Historical Document provided the following prior to the Chapters.]
Look down lest they turn their steps to the place where Erinis is ruler;
There where Allecto commands, Megaera dietetic the measures
But rather by virtue of him, this emperor Charles whom Thou lovest
O most beneficent God, may'st Thou graciously please to ordain it
That, through the pleasant glades of forests ever in flower,
And through the realms of the bless'd, their pious leader may bring them
I nto the holy shades, where the heavenly waters will quicken
The seeds that were sown in the life, and where the ripe crops are made glorious
Cleansed in supernal founts from all of the thorns they have gathered.
Thus may the harvest be God's, and great may its worth be in future
Heaping a hundred fold the corn in the barns overflowing..
In the name of the holy and indivisible Trinity felicitously amen. Charles the Fourth, by favour of the divine mercy emperor of the Romans, always august, and king of Bohemia; as a perpetual memorial of this matter. Every kingdom divided against itself shall be desolated. For its princes have become the companions of thieves. Where fore God has mingled among them the spirit of dizziness that they may grope in midday as if in darkness; and He has removed their candlestick from out of His place, that they may be blind and leaders of the blind. And those who walk in darkness stumble; and the blind commit crimes in their hearts which come to pass in time of discord. Tell us, pride, how would's" thou have reigned over Lucifer if thou had'st not had discord to aid thee? Tell us hateful Satan, how would'st thou have cast Adam out of Paradise if thou had'st not divided him from his obedience ? Tell us, luxury, how would'st thou have destroyed Troy, if thou had'st not divided Helen from her husband? Tell us, wrath, how would'st thou have destroyed the Roman republic had'st thou not, by means of discord, spurred on Pompey and Caesar with raging swords to internal conflict ? Thou, indeed, oh envy, host, with impious wicked ness, spued with the ancient poison against the Christian empire which is fortified by God, like to the holy and indivisible Trinity, with the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity, whose foundation is happily established above in the very kingdom of Christ. Thou hast done this, like a serpent, against the branches of the empire and its nearer members; so that, the columns being shaken, thou Slightest subject the whole edifice to ruin. Thou Last often spread discord among the seven electors of the holy empire, through whom, as through seven candlesticks throwing light in the unity of a septiform spirit, the holy empire ought to be illumined.
Inasmuch as we, through the office by which we possess the imperial dignity, are doubly-both as emperor and by the electoral right which we enjoy-bound to put an end to future danger of discords among the electors themselves, to whose number we, as king of Bohemia are known to belong: we have promulgated, decreed and recommended for ratification the subjoined laws for the purpose of cherishing unity among the electors, and of bringing about a unanimous election, and of closing all approach to the aforesaid detestable discord and to the various dangers which arise from it. This we have done in our solemn court at Nuremberg, in session with all the electoral princes, ecclesiastical and secular, and amid a numerous multitude of other princes, counts, barons, magnates, nobles and citizens; after mature deliberation, from the fulness of our imperial power; sitting on the throne of our imperial majesty, adorned with the imperial bands, insignia and diadem; in the year of our Lord 1356, in the 9th Indiction, on the 4th day before the Ides of January, in the 10th year of our reign as king, the 1st as emperor.
Escort and safe-conduct for the electors.
1. We decree and determine by this imperial edict that, whenever the electoral princes are summoned according to the ancient and praiseworthy custom to meet and elect a king of the Roman and future emperor, each of them shall be bound to furnish demand an escort and safe-conduct to his fellow electors or their representatives, within his own lands and as much farther as he can, for the journey to and from the city where the election is to be held. Any electoral prince who refuses to furnish escort and safe-conduct shall be liable to the penalties for perjury and to the loss of his electoral vote for that occasion.
2. We decree and command also that all other princes who hold fiefs from the empire by whatever title, and all counts, barons, knights, clients, nobles, commoners, citizens, and all corporations of towns, cities, and territories of the empire, shall furnish escort and safe-conduct for this occasion to every electoral prince or his representatives, on demand, within their own lands and as much farther as they can. Violators of this decree shall be punished as follows: Princes, counts, barons, knights, clients and all other of noble rank, shall suffer the penalties of purjury, and shall lose the fiefs which they hold of the emperor or any other lord, and all their other possessions; citizens and corporations shall also suffer the penalty for purjury, shall be deprived of all the rights, liberties, privileges, and graces which they have received from the empire, and shall incur the ban of the empire against their persons and property. Those whom we deprive of their rights for this offence may be attacked by any man without appealing to a magistrate, and without danger of reprisal, for they are rebels against the state and the empire, and have attacked the honor and security of the prince, and are convicted of faithlessness and perfidy.
3. We also command that the citizens and corporations of cities shall furnish supplies to the electoral princes and their representatives on demand at the regular price and without fraud, whenever they arrive at, or depart from, the city on their way to or from the election; those who violate this decree shall suffer the penalties described in the preceding paragraph for citizens and corporations. If any prince, count, baron, knight, client, noble, commoner, citizen, or city shall attack or molest in person or goods any of the electoral princes or their representatives, on their way to or from an election, whether they have safe-conduct or not, he and his accomplices shall incur the penalties above described, according to his position and rank.
4. If there should arise any enmity or hostility between two electoral princes, it shall not be allowed to interfere with the safe-conduct which each is bound to furnish to the other on the occasion of the election, under penalty of being declared guilty of perjury, and being deprived of his vote for that occasion, as described above.
5. If any other princes, counts, barons, knights, clients, nobles, commoners, citizens, or cities are at war with any electoral prince or princes, they shall nonetheless be bound to furnish to them and their representatives escort and safe-conduct for the journey to and from the election, under the same penalties. In order to render the observance of the above demands more certain, we desire and instruct all electoral and other princes, and all counts, barons, nobles, cities, and corporations to bind themselves by oaths and written promises to observe them. If anyone refuses to do this, he shall incur the penalties above described, according to his rank and station.
6. If any electoral prince violates any of the above or following laws of the empire, he shall be excluded by his fellow-electors from their body, and shall be deprived of his vote and his electoral dignity, and of his right to hold fiefs of the empire. If any other prince of any rank or station, or any count, baron, or noble who holds fiefs of the empire, or any of their successors to their fiefs, is guilty of a similar crime, he shall not be invested with the fiefs which he holds of the empire, nor be able to receive a fief from any other lord, and he shall incur the above penalties, according to his rank.
7. The above rules apply to escorts and safe-conduct in general, but we have thought it well to indicate also the neighboring lands which should furnish escort and safe-conduct in each separate case to each elector.
8. To the king of Bohemia, the chief cup-bearer of the empire, the following should furnish escort and safe-conduct: the archbishop of Mainz, the bishops of Bamberg and Würzburg, the burggrave of Nürnberg, etc.
9. To the archbishop of Cologne, archchancellor of the empire for Italy, the archbishops of Mainz and Trier, the count palatine of the Rhine, the landgrave of Hesse, etc.
10. To the archbishop of Trier, archchancellor of the empire for Gaul and the kingdom of Aries, the archbishop of Mainz, the count palatine of the Rhine, etc.
11. To the count palatine of the Rhine, the archbishop of Mainz.
12. To the duke of Saxony, archmarshall of the empire, the king of Bohemia, the archbishops of Mainz and Magdeburg, the bishops of Bamberg and Würzburg, the margrave of Meissen, the landgrave of Hesse, the abbots of Fulda and Hersfeld, the burggrave of Nürnberg, etc. These shall also furnish escort and safe-conduct to the margrave of Brandenburg, the archchamberlain of the empire.
13. We wish and command that each electoral prince should give due notice to those from whom he intends to require safe-conduct, of his journey and of the route by which he intends to go; and he should make a formal demand upon such persons for safe-conduct, in order that they may be able to make fitting preparations.
14. The above decrees concerning safe-conduct are to be understood to mean that any person, whether expressly named or not, from whom safe-conduct is demanded on the occasion of the election, must furnish it in good faith within his own lands, and as much farther as he can, under the penalties described above.
15. It shall be the duty of the archbishop of Mainz to send notice of the approaching election to each of the electoral princes by his messenger bearing letters patent, containing the following: first, the date on which the letter should reach the prince to whom it is directed; then the command to the electoral prince to come or send his representatives to Frankfort on the Main, three months from that date, such representatives being duly accredited by letters bearing the great seal of the prince, and giving them full power to vote for the king of the Romans and future emperor. The form of the letter of notification and of the credentials of the representatives are appended to this document, and we hereby command that these forms be used without change.
16. When the news of the death of the king of the Romans has been received at Mainz, within one month from the date of receiving it the archbishop of Mainz shall send notices of the death and of the approaching election to all the electoral princes. But if the archbishop neglects or refuses to send such notices, the electoral princes are commanded on their fidelity to assemble on their own motion and without summons at the city of Frankfort within three months from the death of the emperor, for the purpose of electing a king of the Romans and future emperor.
17. Each electoral prince or his representatives may bring with him to Frankfort at the time of the election a retinue of 200 horsemen, of whom not more than 50 shall be armed.
18. If any electoral prince, duly summoned to the election, fails to come or to send representatives with credentials containing full authority, or if he or his representatives withdraws from the place of the election before the election has been completed, without leaving behind substitutes fully accredited and empowered, he shall lose his vote in that election....
1. (Mass shall be celebrated on the day after the arrival of electors. The archbishop of Mainz administers this oath, which the other electors repeat:)
2. "I, archbishop of Mainz, archchancellor of the empire for Germany, electoral prince, swear on the holy gospels here before me, and by the faith which I owe to God and to the holy Roman empire, that with the aid of God, and according to my best judgment and knowledge, I will cast my vote, in this election of the king of the Romans and future emperor, for a person fitted to rule the Christian people. I will give my voice and vote freely, uninfluenced by any agreement, price, bribe, promise, or any thing of the sort, by whatever name it may be called. So help me God and all the saints."
3. After the electors have taken this oath, they shall proceed to the election, and shall not depart from Frankfort until the majority have elected a king of the Romans and future emperor, to be ruler of the world and of the Christian people. If they have not come to a decision within thirty days from the day on which they took the above oath, after that they shall live upon bread and water and shall not leave the city until the election has been decided.
4. Such an election shall be as valid as if all the princes had agreed unanimously and without difference upon a candidate. If any one of the princes or his representatives have been hindered or delayed for a time, but arrives before the election is over, he shall be admitted and shall take part in the election at the stage which had been reached at the time of his arrival. According to the ancient and approved custom, the king of the Romans elect, immediately after his election and before he takes up any other business of the empire, shall confirm and approve by sealed letters for each and all of the electoral princes, concessions, ancient customs, and dignities, and whatever else the princes held and possessed from the empire at the time of the election; and he shall renew the confirmation and approval when he becomes emperor. The original confirmation shall be made by him as king, and the renewal as emperor. It is his duty to do this graciously and in good faith, and not to hinder the princes in the exercise of their rights.
5. In the case where three of the electors vote for a fourth elector prince, his vote shall have the same value as that of the other to make a majority and decide the election.
In the name of the holy and undivided Trinity, amen. Charles by the grace of God emperor of the Romans, Augustus, and king of Bohemia.... To prevent any dispute arising between the archbishops of Trier, Mainz, and Cologne, electoral princes of the empire, as to their priority and rank in the diet, it has been decided and is hereby decreed with the advice and consent of all the electoral princes, ecclesiastical and secular, that the archbishop of Trier shall have the seat directly opposite and facing the emperor; that the archbishop of Mainz shall have the seat at the right of the emperor when the diet is held in the diocese or province of Mainz, or anywhere in Germany except in the diocese of Cologne; that the archbishop of Cologne shall have the seat at the right of the emperor when the diet is held in the diocese or province of Cologne, or anywhere in Gaul or Italy. This applies to all public ceremonies: court sessions, conferring of fiefs, banquets, councils, and all occasions on which the princes meet with the emperor for the transaction of imperial business. This order of seating shall be observed by the successors of the present archbishops of Cologne, Trier, and Mainz, and shall never be questioned.
1. In the imperial diet, at the council-board, table, and all other places where the emperor or king of the Romans meets with the electoral princes, the seats shall be arranged as follows: On the right of the emperor, first, the archbishop of Mainz, or of Cologne, according to the province in which the meeting is held, as arranged above; second, the king of Bohemia, because he is a crowned and anointed prince; third, the count palatine of the Rhine; on the left of the emperor, first, the archbishop of Cologne, or of Mainz; second, the duke of Saxony; third, the margrave of Brandenburg.
2. When the imperial throne becomes vacant, the archbishop of Mainz shall have the authority, which he has had from of old, to call the other electors together for the election. It shall be his peculiar right also, when the electors have convened for the election, to collect the votes, asking each of the electors separately in the following order: first, the archbishop of Trier, who shall have the right to the first vote, as he has had from of old; then the archbishop of Cologne, who has the office of first placing the crown upon the head of the king of the Romans; then the king of Bohemia, who has the priority among the secular princes, because of his royal title; fourth, the count palatine of the Rhine; fifth, the duke of Saxony; sixth, the margrave of Brandenburg. Then the princes shall ask the archbishop of Mainz in turn to declare his choice and vote. At the diet, the margrave of Brandenburg shall offer water to the emperor or king, to wash his hands; the king of Bohemia shall have the right to offer him the cup first, although, by reason of his royal dignity, he shall not be bound to do this unless he desires; the count palatine of the Rhine shall offer him food; and the duke of Saxony shall act as his marshal in the accustomed manner.
1. During the vacancy of the empire, the count palatine of the Rhine, archseneschal of the empire, by reason of his principality and office, shall exercise the authority of the future king of the Romans in the Rhine lands, in Suabia; and in the region of the Frankish law; this includes the right to present to ecclesiastical benefices, to collect revenues and incomes, to invest with fiefs, and to receive the oath of fidelity in the name of the emperor. All of these acts, however, must be confirmed and renewed by the king of the Romans after he is elected. The count palatine shall not have the right to invest the princes of the empire with fiefs which are called Fahnlehen,[*] the investiture and conferring of which is reserved to the king of the Romans in person. The count palatine is expressly forbidden to alienate or mortgage the imperial lands during the period of his administration. The duke of Saxony, archmarshal of the holy empire, shall exercise the same authority during the vacancy of the empire for the region of the Saxon law, under the same conditions as expressed above.
* In the investiture of a vassal with a fief certain symbols were used. Among other articles that were used in this way when investing the secular tenants-in-chief was the spear, to which it became customary to affix a small standard or flag, as a symbol of the regalia which were conferred with the fief. Eventually this was the only symbol used in such cases, and hence the secular fiefs which were held directly from the king came to be called "Fahnlehen," or "flag fiefs."
2. The emperor or king of the Romans must appear before the count palatine of the Rhine, when he ia cited by anyone, but the count palatine shall try such cases only at the imperial diet when the emperor or king is present.
We decree that, in holding an imperial court, whenever in future one shall chance to be held, the aforesaid prince electors, ecclesiastical and secular, shall immutably hold their positions on the right and on the left-according to the prescribed order and manner. And no other prince of whatever standing, dignity, pre-eminence or condition be may be, shall in any way be preferred to them or anyone of them, in any acts relating to that court; in going there, while sitting or while standing. And it is distinctly declared that especially the king of Bohemia shall, in the holding of such courts, in each and every place and act aforesaid, immutably precede any other king, with whatsoever special prerogative of dignity he may be adorned, no matter what the occasion or cause for which he may happen to come or to be present.
1. ...It is known and recognized throughout the world, that the king of Bohemia, the count palatine of the Rhine, the duke of Saxony, and the margrave of Brandenburg, by virtue of the principalities which they possess, have the right to vote in the election of the king of the Romans along with their coelectors, the ecclesiastical princes, and that they with the ecclesiastical princes are the true and legal electoral princes of the holy empire. In order to prevent disputes arising among the sons of these secular electoral princes in regard to the electoral authority and vote, which would be productive of delays dangerous to the state and other evils, we have fixed the succession by the present law which shall be valid forever. On the death of one of the secular electoral princes his right, voice, and vote in the election shall descend to his first-born son who is a layman; if the son has died before this, to the son's first-born son who is a layman. If the first-born lay son of the elector has died without legitimate lay sons, by virtue of the present law the succession shall go to the elector's next oldest lay son and then to his heirs, and so on according to the law of primogeniture. In case the heir is under age the paternal uncle of the heir shall act as guardian and administrator until the heir comes of age, which shall be, in the case of electoral princes, at eighteen years. Then the guardian shall immediately surrender to him the electoral vote and authority and all the possessions of the electorate.
2. When any electorate falls vacant for lack of heirs, the emperor or king of the Romans shall have the power to dispose of it, as if it reverted to the empire, saving the rights, privileges, and customs of the kingdom of Bohemia, according to which the inhabitants of that kingdom have the right to elect their king in case of a vacancy.
Our predecessors, the emperors and kings of the Romans, have conceded to our ancestors, the kings of Bohemia, and to the kingdom and crown ... that no prince, baron, noble, knight, client, citizen, or other person of the kingdom, of any station, dignity, rank, or condition, should be cited, haled, or summoned before any tribunal outside of the kingdom, or before any judge except the king of Bohemia and the judges of his court. We hereby renew and confirm this privilege, custom, and concession by our royal authority and power, and decree that no one of the aforesaid, prince, baron, noble, knight, client, citizen, or peasant, or any other person, shall be required to appear or answer' before any tribunal outside of the kingdom of Bohemia, in any case, civil, criminal, or mixed. ...
We decree, by this present law, that our successors, the kings of Bohemia, and all the electoral princes, ecclesiastical and secular, shall hold and possess with full rights, all mines of gold, silver, tin, copper iron, lead, or other metals, and all salt works, both those already discovered and those which shall be discovered in the future, situated within their lands, domains, and dependencies. They shall also have authority to tax Jews, the right to collect tolls already in force and all other rights which they or their predecessors have possessed to the present day.
1. We also decree that our successors, the future kings of Bohemia, shall possess and exercise in peace the rights of coinage of gold and silver, in all parts of their dominions and of the lands belonging to their subjects, in such form and manner as they may determine: a right which is known to have belonged to our predecessors, the former kings of Bohemia.
2. We also grant to the future kings of Bohemia forever the right to buy, purchase, or receive as gift or in payment, any lands, castles, possessions, or goods from any princes, magnates, counts, or other persons; such lands and property to remain, however, in their former legal status, and to pay the customary dues and services to the empire.
3. We extend this right by the present law to all the electoral princes, ecclesiastical and secular, and to their legal heirs, under the same conditions and form.
1. We decree also that no count, baron, noble, vassal, burggrave, knight, client, citizen, burgher, or other subject of the churches of Cologne, Mainz, or Trier, of whatever status, condition, or rank, shall be cited, haled, or summoned to any authority before any tribunal outside of the territories, boundaries, and limits of these churches and their dependencies, or before any judge, except the archbishops and their judges.... We refuse to hear appeals based upon the authority of others over the subjects of these princes; if these princes are accused by their subjects of injustice, appeal shall lie to the imperial diet, and shall be heard there and nowhere else. ...
2. We extend this right by the present law to the secular electoral princes, the count palatine of the Rhine, the duke of Saxony, and the margrave of Brandenburg, and to their heirs, successors, and subjects forever.
... It has been decided in the general diet held at Nürnburg with the electoral princes, ecclesiastical and secular, and other princes and magnates, by their advice and with their consent, that in the future, the electoral princes shall meet every year in some city of the empire four weeks after Easter; this year they are to meet at that date in the imperial city of Metz; on that occasion, and on every meeting thereafter, the place of assembling for the following year shall be fixed by us with the advice and consent of the princes. This ordinance shall remain in force as long as it shall be pleasing to us and to the princes; and as long as it is in effect, we shall furnish the princes with safe-conduct for that assembly, going, staying, and returning. ...
We hereby decree and determine that the liberties, jurisdiction, rights, honors, and authority of the electoral princes, ecclesiastical or secular, or of any one of them, ought not to be and shall not be in any way diminished by any privileges or charters of rights, graces, immunities, customs, etc., granted or to be granted by us or our predecessors to any person of whatsoever rank, station, or dignity, or to any city, town or territory, even if it is expressly stated in such privileges and charters that they are not revocable. In so far as any such privileges do diminish the liberties, jurisdiction, rights, honors, or authority of the said electoral princes, we hereby revoke them and decree by our imperial authority that they are to be regarded as revoked and void.
In many regions it is becoming the practice for vassals and feudatories to renounce and resign verbally and without due notice the fiefs and benefices which they hold of their lords, and then to declare themselves free from their allegiance and to seize the fiefs under pretext of war. Therefore we decree hereby that such renunciation shall not be valid unless it is genuine and made with the condition that the fiefs and benefices shall revert immediately to the lords from whom they are held; those who have renounced their allegiance shall never disturb or molest their lords in the possession of these fiefs. Any subject violating this decree shall lose his fiefs and benefices, shall be branded with infamy, and placed under the imperial ban; no one shall ever give him a fief or a benefice, and any grant or investiture made to him shall be void.
We reprobate, condemn, and declare void all detestable and illegal conspiracies, confederations, and societies, which are or shall be made by cities or by persons of any rank or station, under color of any pretext whatever, inside or outside of cities, between city and city, person and person, or city and person, without the consent of the lords of the persons or territories; for it is well known that such conspiracies are declared illegal and void by the laws of our predecessors, the august emperors. We except from this condemnation such confederations and leagues as are entered into by princes, cities, and others for the preservation of the peace of their lands; these shall remain in force until we have decreed otherwise. If any person shall violate this decree and the ancient laws against conspiracies, besides incurring the regular penalties he shall be branded with infamy and shall be fined ten pounds of gold; cities and corporations guilty of a similar crime shall be fined 100 pounds of gold, half of which shall go to the imperial treasury, and half to the lord of the district, and they shall be deprived of the liberties and privileges which they have received from the empire.
The complaint has frequently been made of late that certain citizens and subjects of princes, barons, and other lords, in order to escape from their proper subjection, have had themselves received as citizens in other cities, and thus, while dwelling in the lands, cities, towns, or regions of the lords whom they have deserted, they claim to enjoy the liberty and immunity of the other cities, and to be freed from the lord's authority, because of that citizenship; these are the persons who are called in the vulgar tongue in Germany "pfahlburghers." Now since fraud and deceit cannot constitute a legal defense for any one, we hereby decree by our imperial authority and by the advice of the electoral princes, ecclesiastical and secular, that from this day forth within all the lands of the empire such citizens shall not enjoy the rights and liberties of the cities, unless they have actually moved into them and established their homes there, making their real residence and domicile in the cities and bearing their share of the debts, burdens, and municipal taxes. If any such persons are or shall be admitted into cities contrary to this edict, the admission shall be void of effect, and the persons shall not profit by the laws and liberties of those cities, in spite of any laws, privileges, and customs to the contrary, all of which, as far as they contradict this decree, we declare to be void; and the lords shall retain their rights over the persons and goods of their subjects who have deserted them in this manner. Those who receive the subjects of other lords on these terms contrary to our law, and who do not drive them away within one month after receiving notice of their presence, shall be fined for each such violation, 100 pounds of gold, half of which shall go to the imperial treasury and half to the lords of the deserters.
If any person renounces his allegiance or alliance without due notice and in a place where he does not have his residence, even if he thinks he has just grounds, we declare that he shall not have the right to inflict injury or violence upon those from whom he has in this manner withdrawn. And since fraud and deceit cannot constitute legal defence, we hereby declare that renunciation of this sort from the society or association of any lord or person shall not be valid, and may not be used as pretext for making war, unless the renunciation has been announced to those who are concerned personally or publicly in the place where they have their regular residence, three full days before, and the notification can be proved by good witnesses. Whoever shall make war on another without making renunciation in this form, shall be branded with infamy, just as if he had never made any renunciation, and he shall be punished as a traitor by all judges. We forbid and condemn also all unjust wars and strife, all unjust burning, wasting, and rapine, all unusual and unjust tolls and exactions for safe-conduct, under penalties fixed by the laws of the empire.
"To you, the illustrious and magnificent margrave of Brandenburg, archchamberlain of the holy empire, our fellow-elector and dear friend, we give notice by these presents of the approaching election of the king of the Romans, and we summon you according to the duty of your office to come to that election at the regular place within three months from--(date), or to send one or more representatives or agents with sufficient authority, in order to consider with your fellow-electors and agree upon the choice of a king of the Romans and future emperor; to remain there until the election is completed; and to do such other things as are required by the laws of the empire in this matter. Otherwise, in spite of your absence, we shall proceed with our fellow-electors to carry out the aforesaid business, as the authority of the imperial laws empowers us."
We (name), by the grace of God (title), (office) of the holy empire. Be it known to all by these presents ... that we have constituted our faithful subjects (names) our true, legal, and special representatives and agents, to treat with our fellow-princes and electors, ecclesiastical and secular, and to agree and decide with them concerning a suitable person to be elected king of the Romans; to be present, deliberate, name, consent to, and elect the king of the Romans and future emperor in our name and for us; and to take the necessary, due, and accustomed oaths upon our soul, in regard to the aforesaid things; to appoint substitutes to do any and all things which may be necessary, useful, or convenient to the aforesaid consideration, nomination, deliberation, and election, and to do anything which we would be able to do if we were present in person at the election, even if these things be special and peculiar things not mentioned specifically .in the above. We will accept and ratify everything done by the aforesaid representatives or their substitutes.
It is known that the right of voting for the king of the Romans and future emperor inheres in certain principalities, the possessors of which have also the other offices, rights, and dignities belonging to these principalities. We decree, therefore, by the present law that the electoral vote and other offices, dignities, and appurtenances shall always be so united and conjoined that the possessor of one of these principalities shall possess and enjoy the electoral vote and all the offices, dignities, and appurtenances belonging to it, that he shall be regarded as electoral prince, that, he and no other shall be accepted by the other electoral princes and admitted to participation in the election and all other acts which regard the honor and advantage of the holy empire, and that no one of these rights, which are and ought to be inseparable, shall ever be taken from him. And if through error or by any other means any decision or sentence is issued by any judge against the present law, it shall be void.
We have defined above the location of the seats of the ecclesiastical electors in the council, at the table, and on other occasions, when the emperor meets with the electoral princes, but we have thought it well to indicate also the order of precedence in procession and march. Therefore we decree by the present imperial edict that whenever the emperor or king of the Romans meets with the electoral princes, and the insignia are borne before him in procession, the archbishop of Trier shall inarch directly before the emperor or king, no one being between them except the bearers of the insignia; and when the emperor or king marches without the insignia the archbishop shall immediately precede him. The other two archbishops [of Mainz and Cologne] shall march on either side of the archbishop of Trier, their position on the right or the left being determined by the region in which the ceremony is held, as described above.
We also determine by the present decree the precedence among the secular electoral princes as follows: When the electoral princes march in procession with the emperor or king of the Romans in any of the ceremonies of the imperial diet and the insignia are borne before him, the duke of Saxony shall precede the emperor or king, marching between him and the archbishop of Trier, and bearing the imperial or royal sword; the count palatine of the Rhine shall march at the right of the duke of Saxony with the imperial globe, and the margrave of Brandenburg at the left with the sceptre; the king of Bohemia shall follow immediately behind the emperor or king.
When the mass is celebrated in the presence of the emperor or king, the archbishops of Mainz, Trier, and Cologne, or any two of them, being present, the archbishops shall perform the services on the different days in turn in the order of their consecration, each one on his day officiating in the confession which is said before the mass, in the presenting of the gospel to be kissed, in the giving of peace after the Agnus Dei, in the benedictions after the mass and before meals, and in returning thanks after meals. Each archbishop on his day should invite the other archbishops to participate in the services, to set a good example to men by honoring one another.
1. If any person shall have joined in a conspiracy or taken oath to join in a conspiracy with any other persons, princes, knights, or private persons, to slay one of the electoral princes of the holy empire, he shall be judged guilty of offence against the majesty of the emperor, and shall be executed, and all his goods shall be forfeited to the royal treasury; for we regard the electoral princes as members of our own body, and visit offences against them with the same severity as against ourself. [The rest of the chapter is devoted to the effects of the confiscation and attainder upon children and heirs of criminals, etc.]
2. But his sons, to whom, by special imperial lenity, we grant their life--for those ought to perish by the same punishment as their father, whose portion is the example of a paternal, that is of a hereditary crime--shall be without share in any inheritance or succession from the mother or grandparents, or even from relatives; they shall receive nothing from other people's wills, and shall be always poor and in want; the infamy of their father shall always follow them, and they shall never achieve any honour or be allowed to take any oath at all; in a word they shall be such that to them, grovelling in perpetual misery, death shall be a solace and life a punishment.
3. Finally we command that those shall be made notorious, and shall be without pardon, who shall ever try to intervene with us for such persons.
4. But to the daughters, as many of them as there are, of such conspirators, we will that there shall go only the "falcidia"--the fourth part of the property of the mother if she die intestate; so that they may rather have the moderate alimony of a daughter, than the entire emolument or name of an heir;--for the sentence ought to be milder in the case of those who, as we trust, on account of the infirmity of their sex, are less likely to make daring attempts.
5. Deeds of gift, moreover, made out to either sons or daughters by the aforesaid persons, after the passing of this law, shall not be valid.
6. Dotations and donations of any possessions; likewise, in a word, all transfers which shall prove to have been made, by any fraud or by right, after the time when first the aforesaid people conceived the idea of entering into a conspiracy or union, shall, we decree, be of no account.
7. But the wives of the aforesaid conspirators, having recovered their dowry--if they shall be in a condition to reserve for their children that which they shall have received from their husbands under the name of a gift,--shall know that, from the time when their usufruct ceases, they are to leave to our fisc all that which, according to the usual law, was due to their children.
8. And the fourth part of such property shall be put aside for the daughters alone, not also for the sons.
9. That which we have provided concerning the aforesaid conspirators and their children, we also decree, with like severity, concerning their followers, accomplices and aiders, and the children of these.
10. But in any one of these, at the beginning of the formation of a conspiracy, inflamed by zeal for the right kind of glory, shall himself betray the conspiracy, he shall be enriched by us with reward and honour; he, moreover who shall have been active in the conspiracy, if, even late, he disclose secret plans which were, indeed, hitherto unknown,--shall nevertheless be deemed worthy of absolution and pardon.
11. We decree, moreover, that if anything be said to have been committed against the aforesaid prince electors, ecclesiastical or secular,--even after the death of the accused that charge can be instituted. ["Etiam post mortem rei id crimen instaurari posse."]
12. Likewise in such a charge, which regards high treason against his prince electors, slaves shall be tortured even in a case concerning the life of their master.
13. We will, furthermore, and do decree by the present imperial edict, that even after the death of the guilty persons this charge can be instituted, and, if some one already convicted die, his memory shall be condemned and his goods taken away from his heirs. ["Ut etiam post mortem nocencium hoc crimen inchoari possit." 13 and 15 are an awkward repetition, an explanatory one, it is true, of 11 and 12.]
14. For from the time when any one conceived so wicked a plot from then on he has to some extent been punished mentally; but from the time when any one drew down upon himself such a charge, we decree that he may neither alienate nor release, nor may any debtor lawfully make payment to him.
15. For in this case we decree that slaves may be tortured in a matter involving the life of their master; that is, in the case of a damnable conspiracy against the prince electors, ecclesiastical and secular, as has been said before.
16. And if any one should die, on account of the uncertain person of his successor his goods shall be held, if he be proved to have died in a case of this kind.
If it is proper that the integrity of the ordinary principalities should be preserved, for the better securing of justice and peace for the subjects, it is even more important that the great principalities of the electoral princes should be kept intact in their domains, honors, and rights. Therefore we determine and decree by this imperial edict that the lands, districts, fiefs, and other possessions of the great principalities, namely, the kingdom of Bohemia, the palatinate of the Rhine, the duchy of Saxony, and the mark of Brandenburg, should never under any circumstances be separated, divided, or dismembered. In order that they may be preserved in their integrity, the first-born son in each case shall succeed to them, and shall exercise ownership and dominion in them, unless he be incapacitated for ruling by reason of imbecility, or other notorious defect. In that case, he shall not be allowed to inherit, but the succession shall go to the nearest male lay heir on the paternal side.
1. On the day of the imperial diet, all the electoral princes shall proceed to the imperial palace about the first hour, and shall assist the emperor or king in donning the insignia; then they shall proceed on horseback to the place of the diet with the emperor or king, preserving the order of precedence indicated above. The archchancellor of the kingdom in which the diet is held shall bear the seals of the empire or kingdom upon a silver staff; the secular princes shall bear the sceptre, globe, and sword, as indicated above; the German and Lombard crowns shall be borne, in this order, by princes of inferior rank named for this office by the emperor, immediately before the archbishop of Trier, who precedes the emperor, now wearing the imperial crown.
2. The empress or queen, clad in her insignia, shall also proceed to the place of the diet with her officials and ladies, taking her place behind the emperor or king and behind the king of Bohemia, who follows immediately after the emperor or king.
1. After the emperor or king is seated on his throne, the duke of Saxony shall appear before the place of the diet on horseback with a silver staff and a silver measure, each of the value of twelve marks in silver, and shall fill his measure with oats from a heap that has been placed before the building in which the diet is held. This heap of oats shall be as high as the breast of the horse on which he rides. He shall then give this measure of oats to the first servant that approaches. Then he shall thrust his staff into the heap of oats and go away, and the vice-marshal, the count of Pappenheim, or in his absence the marshal of the court, shall distribute the oats. After the emperor or king has taken his place at the table the ecclesiastical electors, supported by other prelates, shall stand before the table and one of them shall pronounce the blessing, according to the order of precedence established above; after the benediction the chancellor of the court shall present the seals to the archbishops, and they shall bear them to the emperor, all three touching with their hands the staff on which they are suspended, the archchancellor of the kingdom in which the diet is held marching in the middle and the other two on either side of him. They shall lay the seals reverently before the emperor or king, who shall immediately return them to the archbishops. The archchancellor of the kingdom in which the diet is held shall wear the great seal of the empire about his neck during the dinner and until he returns to his abode. The staff, which shall be of silver of the value of twelve marks, and the seals, shall be handed over to the chancellor of the court. The archbishop who bears the great seal shall return this also to the chancellor of the court by one of his own servants, mounted on a horse which shall be presented to the chancellor of the court as a perquisite of his office and as a token of the love of the archchancellor.
2. The margrave of Brandenburg, the archchamberlain of the empire, shall approach on horseback, bearing water in silver basins of the value of twelve marks, and a beautifully embroidered napkin, and shall dismount and offer the emperor or king water to wash his hands.
3. The count palatine of the Rhine shall approach on horseback, bearing four silver dishes, each of the value of three marks, filled with food, and shall dismount and carry them in and place them on the table before the emperor or king.
4. Then the king of Bohemia, the archccupbearer of the empire, shall ride up, bearing a silver cup or goblet, of the value of twelve marks, filled with wine and water mixed, and shall dismount and offer the goblet to the emperor or king to drink.
5. When the offices have been performed by the secular electoral princes, the vice-marshal, the count of Falkenstein, shall receive the horse and the silver basins of the margrave of Brandenburg; the master of the kitchen, the count of Nortemberg, shall receive the horse and the dishes of the count palatine of the Rhine; the vice-cupbearer, the count of Limburg, shall receive the horse and the goblet of the king of Bohemia; the vice-marshal, the count of Pappenheim, shall receive the horse, the staff, and the measure of the duke of Saxony. If these officials are not present, the ordinary officials of the court shall receive these gifts in their places.
Moreover the imperial or royal table ought so to be arranged that it shall be elevated above the other tables in the hall by a height of six feet. And at it, on the day of a solemn court, shall sit no one at all except alone the emperor or king of the Romans.
But the seat and table of the empress or queen shall be prepared to one side in the hall, so that that table shall be three feet lower than the imperial or royal table, and as many feet higher than the seats of the prince electors; which princes shall have their seats and tables at one and the same altitude among themselves.
Within the imperial place of session tables shall be prepared for the seven prince electors, ecclesiastical and secular,--three, namely, on the right, and three others on the left, and the seventh directly opposite the face of the emperor or king, as has above been more clearly defined by us in the chapter concerning the seating and precedence of the prince electors; in such wise, also, that no one else, of whatever dignity or standing he may be, shall sit among them or at their table.
Moreover it shall not be allowed to any one of the aforesaid secular prince electors, when the duty of his office has been performed, to place himself at the table prepared for him so long as any one of his fellow prince electors has still to perform his office. But when one or more of them shall have finished their ministry, they shall pass to the tables prepared for them, and, standing before them, shall wait until the others have fulfilled the aforesaid duties; and then, at length, one and all shall place themselves at the same time before the tables prepared for them.
1. We have learned from records and traditions, that it has been the custom in the past to hold the election of the king of the Romans in Frankfort, the coronation in Aachen, and the first diet in Nürnberg; therefore we decree that in the future these ceremonies shall be held in these places, unless there shall be some legitimate obstacle. ...[Select Historical Documents to end of chapter 29.] and not able to come when summoned to the imperial court, shall send an envoy or procurator, of whatever dignity or standing,-that envoy, although, according to the mandate given him by his master, he ought to be admitted in the place of him who sends him, shall, nevertheless, not sit at the table or in the seat intended for him - who sent him.
Moreover when those matters shall have been settled which were at that time to be disposed of in any imperial or royal court, the master of the court shall receive for himself the whole structure or wooden apparatus of the imperial or royal place of session, where the emperor or lying of the Romans shall have sat with the prince electors to hold his solemn court, or, as has been said, to confer fiefs on the princes.
We decree by this imperial edict that the prince electors, ecclesiastical and secular, when they receive their fiefs or regalia from the emperor or king, shall not at all be bound to give or pay anything to anybody. For the money which is paid under such a pretext is due to the officials; but since, indeed, the prince electors themselves are at the head of all the offices of the imperial court, having also their substitutes in such offices, furnished for this by the Roman princes, and paid,-it would seem absurd if substituted officials, under cover of any excuse whatever, should demand presents from their superiors; unless, perchance, those same prince electors, freely and of their own will, should give them something.
On the other hand, the other princes of the empire, ecclesiastical or secular,-when, in the aforesaid manner, any one of them receives his fiefs from the emperor or king of the Romans,-shall give to the officials of the imperial or royal court 63 marks of silver and a quarter, unless any one of them can protect himself by an imperial or royal privilege or grant, and can prove that he has paid or is exempt from such, or also from any other, payments usually made when receiving such fiefs. Moreover the master of the imperial or royal court shall make division of the 631 marks as follows: first reserving, indeed, 10 marks for himself, he shall give to the chancellor of the imperial or royal court 10 marks; to the masters, notaries, copyists, 3 marks; and to the sealer, for wax and parchment, one quarter. This with the understanding that the chancellor and notaries shall not be bound to do more than to give the prince receiving the fief a testimonial to the effect that he has received it, or a simple charter of investiture.
Likewise, from the aforesaid money, the master of the court shall give to the cupbearer, him of I`imburg, 10 marks; to the master of the kitchen, him of Northemburg, 10 marks; to the vice-marshal!, him of Pappenheim, 10 marks; and to the chamberlain, him of Falkenstein, 10 marks: under the condition, however, that they and each one of them are present and perform their offices in solemn courts of this kind. But if they or any one of them shall have been absent, then the officials of the imperial or royal court who perform these same offices, shall carry off the reward and the perquisites of those whose absence they make good, individual for individual, according as they fill their place, and bear their name, and perform their task.
When, moreover, any prince, sitting on a horse or other beast, shall receive his fiefs from the emperor or king, that horse or beast, of whatever kind he be, shall be the due of the highest marshal-that is, of the duke of Saxony if he shall be present. otherwise of him of Pappenheim, his vice-marshal!; or, in his absence, of the marshal! of the imperial or royal court.
[Select Historical Documents: Chapter 31]
Inasmuch as the majesty of the holy Roman empire has to wield the laws and the government of diverse nations distinct in customs, manner of life, and in language, it is considered fitting, and, in the judgment of all wise men, expedient, that the prince electors, the columns and sides of that empire, should be instructed in the varieties of the different dialects and languages: so that they who assist the imperial sublimity in relieving the wants of very many people, and who are constituted for the sake of keeping watch, should understand, and be understood by, as many as possible. Wherefore we decree that the sons, or heirs and successors of the illustrious prince electors, namely of the king of Bohemia, the count palatine of the Rhine, the duke of Saxony and the margrave of Brandenburg--since they are expected in all likelihood to have naturally acquired the German language, and to have been taught it from their infancy,--shall be instructed in the grammar of the Italian and Slavic tongues, beginning with the seventh Year of their age. so that, before the fourteenth year of their age, they may be learned in the same according to the grace granted them by God. For this is considered not only useful, but also, from the aforementioned causes, highly necessary, since those languages are wont to be very much employed in the service and for the needs of the holy empire, and in them the more arduous affairs of the empire are discussed. And, with regard to the above we lay down the following mode of procedure to be observed it shall be left to the option of the parents to send their sons, if they have any--or their relatives whom they consider as likely to succeed themselves in their principalities, --to places where they can be taught such languages, or, in their own homes, to give them teachers, instructors, and fellow youths skilled in the same, by whose conversation and teaching alike they may become versed in those languages.

Derek Hough stops to fill up his tank at a gas station on Tuesday afternoon (January 28) in West Hollywood, Calif.
The 28-year-old dancer coincidentally ran into his Dancing with the Stars co-star Peta Murgatroyd and they stopped to say hello to each other.
“Check out one of the best coaches in the world SHIRLEY BALLAS, the coach of Champions,” he recently tweeted.
Earlier in the month, Derek was spotted making a quick stop for smoothies at EarthBar in Los Angeles.

As President Donald Trump looks to promote his economic policies, his administration is looking into new ways to calculate U.S. trade deficits, according to The Wall Street Journal.
People involved in the discussions told the Journal that one methodology being tested would exclude re-exports — goods that are first imported into the U.S. and then exported unchanged to a third country. The net effect could make the trade gap appear larger, according to economists, because such goods would be counted when imported but not when exported.
"As a statistician, you generally want symmetry," Steve Landefeld, a former director of the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Affairs, told the newspaper.
President Trump has promised to bring jobs back to the U.S. and focus on domestic manufacturing. At least in theory, trade data calculations that make the gap appear bigger could make it easier for the president to push his vision on stricter trade deals. A larger trade deficit could give the administration leverage to renegotiate deals such as Nafta, which Trump has vowed to rework.
Representatives for the White House did not immediately reply to CNBC's request for comment.

Discover Keaton Henson’s ‘Teach Me’, remixed by Album Leaf, taken from the stunning second album, ‘Birthdays’ (out now).
At just 24 years old, Keaton Henson’s songs, artwork and poetry are known by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Yet he is a virtual stranger, whose anonymity is no accident.
Keaton has never posted on social networks, has not played live until very recently, and barely leaves his hometown or his bedroom.
If you wanted him, you’d have had to find him, as many fans did, for instance, during ‘Gloaming’ – the celebrated exhibition of Keaton’s illustrative work, which saw him play one-on-one for each attendee within a dollhouse .
But whilst he may be delicate, this is no wallflower: Keaton’s songs are as brutal as they are beautiful.
Keaton Henson’s new album ‘Birthdays’ is in stores April 9th! Pre-order at anti.com

On Tuesday morning I opened my emails and saw an invitation. It was from the administrator at the pre-school associated with my church. I had just met with her for a one-to-one conversation and I thought the invitation was a good sign. I thought I should probably say "yes."
Then I noticed the fine print.
This was an invitation to do something called "indoor sky-diving", which I had never heard of before. I consider it sort of a bad sign when the invitation is to something I have not heard of. Also I have never ever heard anyone put the words "indoor" and "skydiving" in the same sentence, let alone right smack dab next to each other.
I thought about it some more. I mentioned the invitation to our office administrator. She thought it was 'really cool", so I went ahead and said "yes", although I will admit to having a few misgivings when they asked me to sign a number of waivers.
Whatever 'type' it is that thrives on adventure and taking risks? -- I'm not it. I thought coming to Texas was risky enough. But, like public speaking, once you get up in front of people and open your mouth, you can't run away. I had signed the waiver, so I was in.
We carpooled down to the iFly center (that's what it was called) where we were all going into a wind tunnel and learn to fly, or float. We had to have a short training, and learn a few hand signals. We needed a helmet, and a special suit (like real sky-divers wear). We were going to get two 'flights': one where we stayed near the ground and basically learn to float, and the other where we would fly higher up into the wind tunnel. Both times our instructor was with us, holding onto us and guiding us around. No one flew alone.
A few of us expressed misgivings and wondered what we were doing there. But, in the end, almost everyone decided to try it. There is safety in numbers, and the good instruction at the beginning didn't hurt, either. We all sat together and waited our turn, clapping for each other and giving each other high fives when we were done.
When it was time for the woman right before me to try her first flight, she looked at me and motioned for me to go ahead of her. I hesitated for a moment. She was just afraid, and she wanted to delay. But she motioned to me again, so I got up.
But you know what? Our instructor pushed me back. He wouldn't let her back out. And he wouldn't let me let her. He probably knew that if she delayed she might back out entirely. He may also have suspected that she would ultimately regret it. He knew she was afraid, but that fear shouldn't stop her.
I thought about that. I thought about my impulse to step in, because she asked me to. I understood her fear, and felt the same way. But it was actually a good impulse. It also wasn't a pastoral impulse, although I might have mistaken it for one.
Pastoral leadership isn't about stepping in with the answers. It's about letting people wrestle with the questions, actually giving people the opportunity to wrestle. It's about giving people the opportunity to fly, even if they will also sometimes fail or fall.
For a long time I think congregations thought that the pastor's job was to go into the tunnel and sky-dive, while they watched. I suspect a lot of pastors thought that too. But actually I think that the pastor's job is a lot more like our sky-diving coach's: To teach: here are the hand signals. I will teach you. I will be with you. And then to invite us to go into the wind tunnel, with some skills but without all of the answers, to not know exactly what is going to happen, and to trust God.

It was always my intention to make this blog about whatever I feel inspired to cook, with and emphasis on baked goods, especially breakfast ones’s since those are my favorite! I realized yesterday that I’ve been grossly neglecting egg sandwiches. I make them for Lee almost every day and they’ve only made a couple of appearances here!
When I ask Lee what he wants for breakfast in the morning I usually give him a few choices: Oatmeal? Smoothie? Eggs? His answer, usually: Eggs. What kind of Eggs: Omelet? One-eyed bandits? Egg sandwiches? Lee chooses egg sandwiches 75% of the time. You’d think the same old breakfast would get boring but I make sure that doesn’t happen. I’ll admit, sometimes I fall into a fried egg with green tabasco on an english muffin rut. I often add variety by incorporating last night’s leftovers or the dregs of whatever jarred condiment I want to use up. This makes for some very interesting sandwiches!
This week, I’ve been making egg sandwiches on cinnamon raisin bread. This combination may sound weird – why put an egg on sweet bread? Well, it’s delicious. While I was doing yoga this morning I had an idea for a fabulous raisin bread combination: curry spices. Raisins and cinnamon are both common curry ingredients. Something about the warm curry spices and bites of fruit and onions really works.
When I was done with yoga I asked Lee what he wanted for breakfast (you know what his answer was) and pulled out my sandwich arsenal: large skillet, silicon pancake/egg rings (you laugh but they’re awesome!), bowl, spatula, and whisk.
Curried Egg Sandwiches (makes 2)
2 eggs (or whatever egg/egg white combination suits you)
4 slices cinnamon raisin bread
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
Pinch of cumin
Pinch of paprika
Pinch of cinnamon
2 tablespoons chopped onions (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped apple (optional)
Oil or butter for the skillet
Heat skillet over medium heat.
Break eggs into a bowl and beat in curry, cumin, paprika, cinnamon and onions+apples if using. Beat with whisk until eggs are well scrambled.
Get started toasting your bread, especially if the slices have to take turns in a pop-up toaster.
Spread a little oil or butter in the skillet and place the egg rings on it (if using).
Pour egg mixture into rings or straight into the skillet if you’re not using rings.
Without rings: scramble eggs like you would normally scramble eggs. I cover the pan to heat things up a bit, then stir the mixture around in the pan till everything is cooked.
For rings: fold down the handles and cover the skillet for a couple minutes. Then check to see if the eggs have firmed up enough to remove the rings. Remove rings when ready and flip the eggs. Cook briefly on the other side till eggs are fully cooked.
Plop each egg round, or half of your scramble, on a piece of toast. Top it with some chutney if you’d like, and cover with a second piece of toast.
Enjoy as part of a balanced breakfast with fruit and maybe some coffee or tea with milk!
Also, enjoy explaining what you’re cooking to the next person who enters the kitchen and says “It smells good in here!”

According to Mind, the mental health charity, 1 in 4 people in the UK will suffer a mental health problem each year. For this reason, Search along with Mind will host a series of workshops to educate employers on how to manage mental health in the workplace.
Associate Trainers from Mind will guide attendees through the essential and practical aspects of how to empathetically manage mental health in a work environment, whilst raising awareness of issues regarding mental health and wellbeing.
Mind will walk through the dynamics of mental wellbeing in a working environment, the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees, the impact of specific mental health conditions on working practices, how to communicate to staff and how to help employees build mental resilience.
Debbie Caswell, Search Managing Director for England, said: “With recent statistics suggesting that a significant proportion of employees will experience symptoms of poor mental health at some point in their careers, as an employer, we have a duty of care to help and support them.
“It is our hope that attendees recognise the importance of appropriately managing mental health, not only for optimal performance and engagement within their organisations, but to consider and treat mental health in the same way as we do physical health, and challenge the stigma associated with it.”
There will be six events running across England. The Sussex event will be held on Thursday 6th April at The Crowne Plaza, Gatwick Airport and will be further supported by Top 100 law firm DMH Stallard. Employment Partner, Greg Burgess, will be providing practical advice for employers and sharing real-life examples of how Tribunals deal with claims relating to mental health at work.
Greg Burgess said: “Dealing with employees suffering from mental health conditions is notoriously challenging for employers. There is often confusion in organisations about how best to support those who need help, and how far an employer’s obligations go. Employers who do get to grips with the challenges and potential pitfalls will be well placed to deal positively and compassionately with employees who are struggling with their mental wellbeing.”
Upon concluding the seminar, employers will then have the opportunity to ask questions in relation to the modules, thus gaining further insight into how they can take steps towards building and maintaining mentally resilient workplaces.
Search invites employers and HR professionals from across the country to learn how to build and maintain optimal mental health in the workplace. To find out when an event is happening in your city, please see below:
Leicester: 8th March
Manchester: 21st March
Liverpool: 22nd March
Leeds: 28th March
Sheffield: 4th April
Gatwick: 6th April
This series of seminars follows Search's series of nationwide, value-added events hosted last year about how to manage cancer in the workplace.
You can register your interest in one of Search's events here.
Search's employer survey will explore line manager confidence levels around managing mental health in the workplace. Please complete it here.
Their employee survey invites people to share their experiences of mental health in the workplace. You can contribute here. Of course, responses are treated confidentially and participants are not asked to disclose the companies they refer to.

Recall the notion of a unitary pre-tabular allegory. Bicategories of relations are equivalent, but this has yet to be shown rigorously and published, as far as I’m aware.
This PDF file gives an explicit argument, which I put at bicategory of relations until Mike Shulman suggested the neater proof that’s there now. But I’ll keep this here anyway.
The following lemma is used at allegory.
If and are maps in a unitary pre-tabular allegory, then
Let . Then and , by the modular law and the fact that projections tabulate top elements. So if and only if it is a map.
For the unit inequality, we have
The second equality follows from distributivity , which is an equality because .

BEIJING (AP) — China's education ministry ordered a nationwide investigation on Tuesday into whether schools are giving students medication without permission after a protest by parents of kindergarteners who were given an antiviral drug.
The announcement came a week after an angry protest by parents whose children were given the drug in the city of Xi'an. Some children suffered stomach pain, dizziness and other symptoms but authorities say it is unclear whether it was linked to the drug.
Police in Xi'an said two kindergartens gave children the medication to improve attendance rates and boost their incomes. Police said they have detained suspects and are determining how extensively the medication was used.
A kindergarten in the northeastern city of Jilin also was found to be giving the drug to students.
Authorities shut down a kindergarten in the central city of Yichang after its president admitted giving pupils an over-the-counter anti-fever drug and vitamins to boost immunity and improve attendance, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
The scandals have raised public concerns over the safety and health of schoolchildren.

Daily swimming activities are structured to be safe, fun, and instructional. Pool time is supervised by certified life guards and staff. Counselors interact with campers to create spontaneous games in the pool. On the first time in the pool, everyone does a swim test to ascertain their skill level. If a camper’s swimming level is not where it should be for the deep end, they will wear a lifejacket and swim only in the shallow end. Campers who need it, receive on-on-one support in the pool. Campers who choose not to swim have a shaded area where they can watch, talk with other campers and counselors, or play games.
There are lots of fun, inclusive yard games like tether ball, ladder golf, and playing with our big yard ball to engage campers and staff. There is always something to do at camp…even if it’s just sitting and enjoying a relaxing afternoon!
What a thrill to learn how to hit a bull’s-eye. Campers are taught the skills of target-shooting with bow and arrow. Through practice, persistence, safety and fun, archery builds confidence and self-control. All who want to participate can. We assist each camper to have a good experience with this sport.
Campfires & Cookout
Gathering around a campfire is one of the most memorable things we do at camp. We sing camp songs, do silly skits, roast marshmallows for s’mores, and even have a cookout.
Crafts are an integral part of camp life, beginning with tie-dying your own t-shirt! Everyone looks forward to the delight of seeing what the dyes look like after they are done. Everyone gets to do camp crafts with patient, caring staff. Some of the campers enjoy chalk drawing on the patio. Often the crafts are developed into a theme for the week with lots of take home items to cherish.
Hiking or Hayrack rides
With 165 acres of lakefront property, this is a beautiful place to explore. There are lots of established trails through woods, over wooden bridges, and through prairie grass. Campers who are able can explore by foot. For the comfort of others, there is a hay rack ride or golf cart to see some of the beautiful lakeside scenery.
Camp’s boat takes campers (in lifejackets, of course) out on the lake to see more of our surroundings and feel the wind on their faces. Surrounded on three sides by water, Camp White is established on a large, beautiful peninsula in the center of Council Grove Lake.
Every evening, depending on the weather, we gather to watch the beautiful lake scenery at Vesper Point. It’s a time for favorite church songs, a bible message, sharing and connecting to God, nature and each other. It becomes one of the most meaningful aspects of camp for all. When the weather keeps us inside, we do a Vesper service in the dining hall. It’s still a special time in comfort!
Camp songs are like no other! We sing grace before every meal, we sing after meals, and we do fun “repeat-after-me” songs at campfires and church songs at Vespers. Lots of smiles, laughter and bonding are created with songs.
Campers look forward to their talent show all week! Campers sing karaoke style, do a dance, or make a costume for their super hero performance. Sometimes they perform by themselves and other times with a group of campers or counselors. It’s a very fun time for performers and audience alike!
Wow, what fun the camp dance is! There are line dances, wheel chair dances, and dances for everyone. Fun music, party atmosphere and lots of laughs!

Bradenton Traffic School Online
Bradenton Vehicle Crash and Traffic Violation Statistics
Found in Manatee County, Bradenton, Florida has a population of about 52,000 residents. It's a part of the Bradenton-Sarasota-Venice Metro area, which has a population estimated at nearly 700,000 residents.
Along with the many residents found throughout this area, many tourists come to the Bradenton area every year, as well. With so many top beaches and Tampa not far from the city, it gets rather congested between the regular residents and the visitors.
After receiving any type of moving violation in Bradenton, you may be upset. However, you should consider these traffic statistics first:
- Interstate 75 runs through a small portion of Bradenton and offer access to the area.
- The I-75 portion found inside the state of Florida is the 15th deadliest interstate in the United States.
- Bradenton is known as a pedestrian friendly area, but also has seen many accidents involving pedestrians over the past decade.
- According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, traffic accidents in Manatee County are a major public safety issue.
- Bradenton includes many multi-lane roads meant for heavy traffic, not pedestrians and cyclists.
- Car accidents in Bradenton, Florida are on the rise.
Local law enforcement officials have to issue traffic tickets and monitor the Bradenton roads or this would be much worse.
|Manatee County Crash Stats||2011||2012||Percent Change||3-Year Avg.|
|Total Number of Motor Vehicle Crashes||4,060||4,480||+10.34%||4,272|
|Alcohol Related Fatalities||15||20||+33.33%||18|
|Alcohol Related Injuries||151||141||-6.62%||146|
Manatee County Traffic Ticket Statistics
More than 25,000 traffic tickets were issues throughout Manatee County for 2015. Out of those 25,000 tickets nearly 11,000 were for speeding with another 4,100 issues for careless driving. The red light cameras caught another 3,145 drivers running a red light. Only 4% of the tickets issues were dismissed by a judge, which means your chances of having a traffic ticket in Bradenton dismissed are very slim.
Don't Get your Bradenton Driver's License Suspended
The State of Florida allows you the privilege of driving. However, if you accumulate too many points for traffic violations, they will also suspend your driving privileges. It only takes 12 points in a 12 month period to lose your Bradenton license for 30 days. Even worse, if you get 18 points in 24 months, you'll lose your license for 90 days and 24 points in 36 months will get you a full 365-day suspension of your license.
Points for traffic violations in Bradenton include:
- Speeding, less than 15 mph over the posted limit - 3 points
- Speeding, more than 15 mph over the posted limit - 4 points
- Speeding and causing an accident - 6 points
- Reckless driving - 4 points
- Hit and run accidents causing $50 or more in damage - 6 points
- Other violations - 3 to 4 points per violation
It doesn't take many traffic tickets to rack up enough points for a license suspension. With just 2 to 4 tickets in one year, you may lose your license for 30 days.
You do have the ability to keep the points from one ticket per 12 months from going on your license. By enrolling in online traffic school in Bradenton, Florida, you can keep your insurance rates from going up and points off your license.
Eliminating Points from Traffic Tickets with Basic Driver Improvement School
In Bradenton, Florida, you can eliminate the points from one ticket every 12 months, up to a total of 5 times in your lifetime, by taking a Basic Driver Improvement Course. This course is known as defensive driving or traffic school. You can take the course online, at your convenience and once you complete it, you will be issued a certificate of completion.
Start by pleading guilty or no contest to your violation and paying the ticket. Then, inform the clerk of the court for Manatee County (or the county issuing the ticket) that you want to take traffic school. After you've informed the clerk of the court, you can enroll in traffic school online and take the course. Once completed, just return your certificate to the clerk of court and you will avoid points on your license, along with a hike in your insurance rates.
Traffic School Eligibility in Bradenton, Florida
The State of Florida allows every driver the ability to take traffic school up to 5 times. However, you're only allowed to use the course to eliminate points from a traffic ticket once every 12 months. You can check with the clerk of the court to ensure you're eligible when you pay your ticket.
Manatee County Clerk of the Court
The Manatee County Clerk of the Court takes all payments for traffic violations and handles information you may need for your ticket. If you will be attending traffic school in Bradenton, notify the Clerk of the Court when you pay your ticket. You can find more information about the Clerk of the Court when you visit their website.

Destined from childhood to life in a monastery, Carloman revolted against his father who was then imprisoned in Senlis. Under orders from Pope Adrian II, Charles freed his sons and obliged them to follow him in his expedition against Girart de Roussillon in 870. Carloman abandoned his father and, with an army of deserters, sacked the regions of Reims and Belgium. He was captured by his father in 870. Through the mediation of Hincmar, Archbishop of Reims, Charles demanded the excommunication of his son. This was approved by a majority of the bishops. In 873, Charles the Bald ordered for Carloman to be blinded and imprisoned in Corbie. After being blinded, Carloman escaped and took refuge in the kingdom of his uncle, Louis the German . He retired to the Abbey of Echternach, where he died in 876, childless.

Make Sense of Your Data
Aelita EventAdmin gathers Event Log information and helps you get a handle on it.
The Windows 2000 event log is a great thing. It’s a standardized way
for applications on a Win2K computer to log information and error messages
for the administrator to resolve. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to manage
the event logs of all of the servers in a large organization. That difficulty
is due, in part, to the sheer number of messages recorded in the average
set of event logs. This is particularly true for organizations that log
a variety of security events.
Aelita’s EventAdmin is designed to help you get a handle on your events.
Like other similar products, EventAdmin allows you to gather information
about the happenings on each server and compile that into one, large database.
Where EventAdmin shows its true value is in generating meaningful ways
to look at the consolidated event data.
The included reporting console allows you to run a variety of reports,
including my favorite, “Events by MSDN article,” which helps you identify
the resources you should review to resolve errors occurring on the network.
Other predefined reports include the number of reboots a server has undergone,
license manager warnings, performance data and problems by computer.
Perhaps one of the most interesting ways EventAdmin helps you make sense
of all of the event data is by allowing you to use the high-powered Online
Analytical Processing (OLAP) tools included with SQL Server. OLAP allows
you to view data in a high-level, cross-tab format and drill down into
more detail. OLAP works by providing a series of dimensions or criteria
that can be placed in either rows or columns. Each dimension can be collapsed
or expanded. For instance, you can view the results of a query for all
of the computers by domain or you can expand the dimension to the computers
in the domain to see a computer-by-computer breakdown.
EventAdmin even allows periodic queries to be run against the database
of events, the results of which can be sent via e-mail, pager, network
message, SNMP trap, or a custom program. This is great for sending daily
or weekly status reports on the health of the network. However, this isn’t
the kind of instant monitoring and notification you might find in other
event log management products. It looks back at the database of events
over a period of time. This means that it doesn’t support instant notification
of events; rather, it supports summarized reporting of the events that
have been logged.
|EventAdmin can help you determine the root cause of
entries in your event logs. (Click image to view larger version.)
The biggest problem with EventAdmin today is that the documentation and
online help leave a lot to be desired. Trying to figure out the product
is more like exploring a new land than following a map. The product itself
is robust enough to automatically create or rebuild the things it needs
in most cases. This allows you to stumble through without too many errors.
I had to call technical support to figure out how to create the OLAP database,
but the process of creating the database itself was simple when I understood
how to do it.
EventAdmin is a must for those organizations with multiple servers, particularly
when many security events are audited. EventAdmin truly makes it easy
to reduce the number of events in the event log and to resolve reoccurring

Laramie Man Pleads Not Guilty to Murder
A Laramie man accused of killing his step-grandmother pleaded not guilty today in Albany County District Court.
Trevor Sanford, 30, pleaded not guilty to one count of first degree murder and the alternative charge, murder in the first degree.
If convicted of the charge, he faces death, life imprisonment without parole or life imprisonment according to law.
Sanford is accused of killing Marilyn “Kay” Dlugosh, 75, in March. According to court documents, Laramie law enforcement received a call of a possibly dead person on March 29. Upon arrival at the scene they found Dlugosh, who was confirmed dead by EMT’s. Dlugosh’s son told Albany County Sheriff’s deputies that Sanford had been living with Dlugosh since March 23. He also said his mother’s white SUV was missing from her home.
A cell phone ping on the victim’s phone put it in a residence in Thorton, Colorado. Sanford was arrested in Westminster, CO on April 4th.
Sanford’s trial is set for Jan. 10 and 11, 2018.
He remains incarcerated in the Albany County Detention Center.

What’s the first item of business when starting an architecture firm? Choosing a name for your firm. This is not a decision to be taken lightly. The choices are varied and the ramifications are staggering. The name of your firm is a major component of your overall brand—the first thing people will hear, see, and judge. Because the personality of the firm is going to be projected by the name, the decision on what to call the firm is critical, so you had better take it seriously. Everyone else will.
In the 19th century, before architects were licensed professionals, professionalization meant attaching credibility to the practice of architecture to distinguish it from other trade crafts, such as carpentry. Architecture firms looked to established and respected law firms for examples of how to name their firms and followed suit by stringing together the last names of the founding partners: McKim, Mead & White; Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge; Burnham and Root; Adler & Sullivan. The list goes on.
It’s not the most creative method—but it’s still in place for its simplicity and elegance, as is the later advent of initialed firms such as HOK, RMJM, and RTKL. In a highly scientific study (conducted by me), I asked the first eight architecturally educated people I know under the age of 40 to tell me what the initials in those firms stands for. Nobody knew. (To wit: Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum; Robert Matthew Johnson-Marshall; Rogers Taliaferro Kostritsky Lamb.) Even if the original named, or initialed, partners are no longer around, the abbreviation remains a classic approach for its brevity—though it can be a bit cloudy.
A popular alternative to proper names is advancing an idea or brand identity through a firm’s derived purpose. Seattle architects Kevin Eckert and Andrew van Leeuwen are straightforward about their approach. “We named our firm ‘Build’ to underscore that we get stuff done,” Eckert says. Unsurprisingly, because they are a design/build firm, this approach made sense for them as they established their brand—not to mention potential phonetic challenges had they decided to string together Eckert and van Leeuwen.
Naming can also be highly personal—a branding device that lets people know what you care about both in and out of the office. Fivecat Studio (formerly McCarthy LePage Architects) in Pleasantville, N.Y., is piloted by Annmarie McCarthy, AIA, and Mark LePage, AIA. McCarthy and LePage, who are married as well as business partners, are lifelong animal rescue and adoption advocates who have quite a few rescue animals at home. “We searched for a name that could not only separate us from the crowded pack of ‘Smith and Smith Architects,’ ” McCarthy says, “but that could also fuel our passion for helping helpless cats and dogs.”
Firms that choose to work around the “Smith and Smith” naming convention often privilege an idea or quality over the principals behind those ideas. Jill Finn, Assoc. AIA, owner of TANGERINEdesign in Berkeley, Calif., says that choosing her firm name had more to do with practicalities and marketability than identity. “I didn’t want to name it after myself, as I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it in the architecture field. I wanted a name that could represent some of my other creative endeavors,” Finn says. “I kept saying to myself, ‘I want something tangible,’ and there was something about that word ‘tangible,’ which became ‘tangerine.’ And since I’m a redhead and come from an advertising background, I knew the color reference would be something to stand out and help clients to remember me.”
While some architects feel that deviating from the traditional route of partner names is more inclusive of the firm’s identity, most architects still hold that having specific names incorporated into the firm’s name is the most effective approach. For instance, 46 of the 50 firms from the architect 50 survey last year featured names or initials of either current partners or founding partners—firms such as Perkins+Will, NBBJ, and Ann Beha Architects.
There’s another side to this, too, which has to do with the life of a brand. Established firms with venerated partners, respected track records, and cultural currency are disinclined to jeopardize that foundation for fear of erasing their reputations in the very fickle collective consciousness. New York’s Ennead Architects (formerly Polshek Partnership) is a notable exception. But, in this case, that kind of fearlessness seems to be part of the firm’s DNA: It’s the fifth name change in 50 years.
Still, there’s something to be said for sticking to the tried-and-true. When Andrew Hawkins, AIA, got ready to hang a shingle for his College Station, Texas, firm, he “toyed around with other nontraditional names—but I didn’t want potential clients to think they weren’t dealing with the firm’s principal, simply because I was younger.” He also felt that “Hawkins Architecture” wouldn’t evoke the kind of work they do, even if it was clear that it was an architecture firm. In the end, Hawkins added the tagline “Think+Create+Sustain” to Hawkins Architecture. “While I did go the traditional route,” he says, “I wanted to add a bit of flair to let people know that we were anything but traditional.” —Bob Borson, AIA aia

Go with whatever works, but I'd think the cord would put my lids in greater danger of smacking up against the side of the pot. I guess it all comes down to whatever you're used to.
I never had that experience. I would imagine hitting the side of the pot would be much gentler than falling in the sink, floor, or counter top. For me, removing the cord was simply an aesthetic decision. I was tired of looking at it. But, it's purpose is very clear and that's why many pots remain with their cords. By doing this, I just lost several hundreds of dollars by chipping the knob.

Those seeking to streamline their document processes have every right to be frustrated. There is an unreasonable disconnect between the seemingly simple desire for information control and the complicated nature of technology that promises—yet often fails—to deliver it. People simply want a secure way to receive, store and later retrieve all the bits of stuff that feed their daily business transactions.
However, those who read my previous post can understand that simple tasks (such as counting all the many forms, formats and places information is apt to arrive, and the countless tools already in place intending to help) quickly expand to become quite complicated. Merely categorizing all the ways (and formats) information enters an organization is challenging enough. Actually reining it in a little in order to benefit from the useful bits of content can be downright daunting. Like most things, it’s easier to break it down into manageable pieces.
It may help to establish the fact that information—whether in the form of incoming documents, stored content, or fragments of both—generally falls into two categories. It either touches or it points. For example, incoming mail that includes invoice payments first touches the accounts receivable department. Or, those same payments may arrive electronically, with an e-mail link that simply points to where the transaction originated, and where the dollars were sent.
Likewise, clerical staff in the back office and customer facing agents in the front-office alike either touch the information (e.g. new account applications) or point (sometimes quite literally) to where it is or to where it (or the customer) should go. The trick is to ensure that information is touching the right spot, or data-seekers are pointed in the right direction.
Understanding the various “touch” and “point” touch points (so to speak) is very helpful in mapping an organization’s content flow. Surprisingly, high value content to one department is often found languishing unheeded (untouched) just around the corner in another; mapping the touch points will help ferret it out.
Which process needs what data?
Who sees it first?
Most importantly, where else might that same information be useful?
Fortunately, technology is available to help. And it need not be complicated. Rarely is it necessary (or prudent) to copy and send content to all the many places where it’s needed. (And who really knows who or where it’s going to be needed until it actually is?) Better is to establish clear guidelines for where content resides, and then simply point to that location. Who touches it? What technology points to it?
Of course, sometimes you’re better off doing both. Say you’re driving in an unfamiliar area, and you finally stoop to the lowliest of insults—stopping to ask for directions. Would you rather ask the person behind the bullet-proof glass to point which direction to travel or would you prefer to have a map you can actually touch? Thankfully, GPS technology does both.
Similar technology, which offers the capabilities to both touch and point, is available for document processes. Modern multifunction peripherals offer keypad access to direct content to where it’s most needed, while pointing to that location for secure retrieval. These functions—whether in an MFP, fax server, or document scanner—can also be fully automated, which provides a third dimension to touch and point: the ability to act.

A. M. Ladd and L. E. Kavraki, “Fast Tree-Based Exploration of State Space for Robots with Dynamics,” in Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics VI, Springer, STAR 17, 2005, pp. 297–312.
This paper presents a new motion planning algorithm which we call the Path-Directed Subdivision Tree exploration Planner PDST-EXPLORE. It is a sampling-based method which builds a tree and takes a substantially different approach from other exploration planners such as RRT and EST . PDST-EXPLORE is a general purpose planner but is designed to overcome difficulties inherent in planning for robots with non-trivial dynamics. Specifically, our planner represents samples as path segments rather than individual states and uses non-uniform subdivisions of the state space to estimate coverage. This change avoids many of the problems that previous sampling-based planners have had with milestone placement, metrics and coverage estimation. We use a deterministic update schedule together with randomized path generation to adaptively strike a balance between greedy exploration and methodical search. We have obtained a proof of probabilistic completeness for the planner which assumes very little about the specific robot system that the planner operates on. Finally, we have implemented the planner for planar kinodynamic point robots, differential drive robots and blimp-like robots. The experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the planner’s implementation as well as its robustness in covering the entire reachable free space.

'Floodgate' laffs at congressional hearings, heads for N.Y.
After its star-studded premiere reading in L.A. in December, where did “Floodgate,” the latest legit comedy by Larry Gelbart, head off to? Gotham? Chi? London?Nope. Try Delgado Community College. The play, a scathing post-Katrina comedy about congressional hearings held in the wake of a catastrophic D.C. flood, was performed in benefit readings March 17-19 at the Louisiana college. A fictional FEMA-like org called COMA is among the targets of its bipartisan barbs. Local celebs, including thesp Jay Thomas, appeared in the reading. Next stop: an evening at New York Theater Workshop on April 17, to be directed by Moises Kaufman (“Laramie Project”). Gelbart has updated the play to accommodate recent events such as Dick Cheney‘s hunting mishap. “Who can keep up with these people?” he asks. “This Washington crowd is a living punchline.” Delgado lost about half of its 22 campus buildings in Katrina, and dropped from 17,000 students to 10,000. Kris La Morte, the faculty member at Delgado who directed “Floodgate,” connected with Gelbart through friend Jay Malarcher, who wrote a book about the scribe. “The fact that we got the play before New York, I love that,” says La Morte, via cell phone. His land line won’t be restored until April.

Help department help homeless vets
Help is on the way!
In the maze of what to do next, there is: study the problem, get facts, chew them up and hope for the tea leaves to give you a clue!
The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting a fact-finding survey. Let’s help them!
They want to locate all the “homeless providers and organizations” that assist homeless veterans.
You can call me at the Veterans Affairs office at 601-364-7005 and ask for Lyn Landis. There is help for the homeless, but we need you to know we can assist providers as well.
This is a wake-up call reminding us of the need for a veterans home in Natchez.

In the early 1990s, Buddhist Digital Resource Center's founder E. Gene Smith and the scholar Peter Skilling heard reports of Buddhist manuscripts being sold in the markets of Northern Thailand and neighboring countries. Traveling to Kengtung, Burma, they were alarmed to find that the reports were true—baskets of palm-leaf manuscripts were being sold as souvenirs.
Saddened by the potential loss of these manuscripts, Peter Skilling launched a preservation effort that led to the creation of the Fragile Palm Leaves Foundation. The Foundation now holds an immense collection of rare and unstudied palm-leaf manuscripts. In 2003, Lumbini International Research Institute began digitizing the collection, funded by the Reiyukai Foundation. In 2016, BDRC began digitizing the collection with the support of the Khyentse Foundation.
Folios from a Kammavācā manuscript
Among these manuscripts are ornate Burmese Kammavācā manuscripts containing Pali texts associated with Buddhist monastic rituals, such as ordinations. To create these manuscripts, skilled craftsmen applied layers of lacquer and then decorated them with elaborate designs and stylized script. Illustrations may feature Buddhas, devas (deities), devotees, birds, and vegetal scrolls.
The Fragile Palm Leaves collection includes over one hundred Kammavācā manuscripts, dating from the later 18th century through the early 20th century. These manuscripts are exceptionally fragile, as the delicate gold leaf and lacquer tend to flake. BDRC is currently collaborating with the Fragile Palm Leaves Foundation to scan the entire FPL collection and make the texts accessible to scholars and the public. Once digitized and cataloged, the manuscripts will be freely accessible for the first time and will be preserved indefinitely using BDRC's archiving platform.

Much like a daily life insurance coverage, which ensures a lump-sum payment to your heirs, an annuity is usually a deal by having an insurance company that pays you, little by little most often, Whilst you’re alive, and often supplies a payment to your beneficiary once you die.

An immediate denture may be the best solution when complete extractions of your remaining teeth is unavoidable.
An immediate denture will allow you to avoid the embarrassment of living without teeth. We will begin the preparation for this procedure before your teeth are extracted.
The first step is taking impressions of your existing teeth and gums to create accurate duplicates for placement after tooth removal. At your extraction appointment, your immediate dentures are inserted creating a natural smile you can be proud of.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IMMEDIATE DENTURES
In most cases, we have no way of checking the fit of the denture in your mouth prior to extraction. Esthetic compromises may have to be made is some cases to compensate for inadequate space or structural concerns.
Great care should be taken to follow all postoperative instructions.Your gums and bone will recede after extraction, and regular check-ups and maintenance will monitor healing and reduce problems. Temporary linings or tissue conditioners will be required to create an optimal fit and may need to be adjusted or replaced a number of times during the healing period. A permanent reline will be required to ensure a comfortable and an exact fit after you have completed the healing process.
The professionals at Sequoia Dental will advise you of the procedure that best suits your individual needs.
Temporary liners, tissue conditioner and relines are additional services that may have separate fees.
Consult our practice with questions about the benefits of an immediate denture .

I agree with groggy, something I'd personally use it for is a small SSH
server to allow a pinhole into my home network. It would serve as a very
good replacement for the mac mini that's sitting in my DMZ simply handling
connections for my SSH tunnel so I can bypass the proxy at work.
Power savings would be significant and it would be plenty powerful to
handle this task. A small webcam server comes to mind as well; there could
be plenty of useful things I could think of outside the realm of

Among the followers of the Buddha there were many lay disciples , the householders, who excelled in the understanding of the Dhamma and in preaching the Dhamma . The foremost among them was Citta .He was the model that the Buddha urged others to emulate .He was the foremost disciple in expounding the Dhamma.On one occasion, the Buddha said to the monks: “Should a devoted mother wish to encourage her beloved only son in a proper way she should say to him: ‘Try to become like the disciple Citta “
A wealthy merchant who owned the hamlet of Macchikāsanda near the city of Savatthi celebrated the birth of a son by covering the village streets with flowers of various hues. The streets at once looked colorful and picturesque . The baby boy was hence promptly named Cittagahapati . His family and friends called him , for short , Citta . Because of his birth in Macchikāsanda , he also acquired the name Macchikásandika. The boy grew up to be a bright and an articulate young man . Besides his family trade Citta acted as the Treasurer of the City Council of Savatthi, where he now lived. He also owned a tributary village called Migapattaka . He had a resort in the grove Ambarukkhavana, in his native village of Macchikāsanda .
Once when the monk the Elder Mahānāma visited Macchikāsanda, Citta, pleased with his demeanor, invited him , for a meal at the Ambarukkhavana grove .Citta was so impressed with the discourse delivered by the monk that at its conclusion he dedicated the Ambarukkhavana grove to the Sangha . Later he built a splendid monastery there for the use of monks . The monastery came to be celebrated as the Ambātakārāma; and was the residence of a large numbers of monks . Discussions often took place there between Cittagahapati and the resident Bhikkhus . Among eminent Elders who visited the Ambātakārāma were Isidatta of Avanti , Mahaka of magical powers ,Kāmabhū ,Godatta and the Elder Lakuntaka Bhaddiya who lived there in solitude and in meditation . A monk named Sudhamma was another permanent resident of the Ambātakārāma .
Citta , by diligence and dedication , not only grasped the heart of the Dhamma but also became quite an adept in explaining the Dhamma. The Buddha considered Citta the most learned and lucid of all the lay Dharma teachers. The Buddha recognized Citta as the foremost in expounding the Dhamma .He held up Citta as a model for others to follow. The Tipitaka contains discourses preached to and by Citta . The sixty-first section in Tipitaka , Citta Samyutta Nikáya is named after him and contains a record of his discussions . In the Samyutta Nikaya there are two sutras wherein he discussed Dhamma with the monks. They indicate his profound grasp of the subtle aspects of the Dhamma.
The first documented teaching by Citta relates to a discussion that a group of monks were having at the Ambātakārāma monastery . The discussion was about whether it is the sense objects that fetter the mind ; or whether it is the sense organs that cause the fetters or whether fetters and sense objects are one and the same. Citta joined the discussion and explained by using a simile .“ Suppose a black ox and a white ox were tied together with a yoke or rope. Now , would it be right to say that the black ox was the fetter of the white ox or that the white ox was the fetter of the black ox?” he explained “Certainly not; The black ox is not the fetter of the white ox nor is the white ox the fetter of the black ox. They are both fettered by the yoke or rope. Similarly, the eye is not the fetter of visual objects nor are visual objects the fetter of the eye .The sense faculties do not bind the external objects. Instead, they are bound or yoked by craving.”. The monks were delighted by Citta’s lucid explanation .
On another occasion, the monk Kamabhu, perplexed by one of the Buddha’s sayings, asked Citta if he could explain what it meant. The saying was:
Pure-limbed, white-canopied, one-wheeled,
The chariot rolls on.
Look at he who is coming,
He is a faultless stream-cutter, he is boundless.
Citta explained the verse with understanding and insight. He said: “‘Pure-limbed’ means virtue, ‘white-canopied’ means freedom, ‘one wheeled’ means mindfulness, ‘rolls on’ means coming and going. ‘Chariot’ means the body, ‘he who is coming’ means the enlightened one, ‘stream’ means craving, ‘faultless’, ‘stream-cutter’ and ‘boundless’ all mean one who has destroyed the defilements.” Citta’s ability to give a spiritual interpretation to what appeared to be merely a beautiful verse surprised and delighted Kamabhu .
The laymen and Bhikkhus respected Citta as a great teacher. Citta used his knowledge to help both believers and non-believers.
It appears that Citta did not formally join the Order though he had encouraged many of his friends to do so. That might have been because of his certain commitments in his personal life as a householder.
Citta’s visit to the Buddha at the Jetavana monastery is recorded in the Canon. It is said , Citta loaded five hundred carts with food and other offerings for the Buddha and his disciples visited Savatthi, accompanied by three thousand followers. They traveled at the rate of one yojana a day and reached Savatthi at the end of a month. Then Citta went ahead with five hundred of his companions to the Jetavana monastery and fell at the feet of the Buddha. Citta stayed at the monastery for one whole month offering alms-food to the Buddha and the bhikkhus ; and also feeding his own party of three thousand. All this time, his stock of food and other offerings. were being replenished. The Buddha preached to him the Salāyatana-vibhatti.
The Salāyatana-vibhatti Sutta is a series of definitions of the
* six internal senses,
* six external sense objects,
* six groups of consciousness,
* six groups of contacts,
* eighteen mental researches,
* thirty six tracks for creatures,
* six satisfactions to the banished,
* three bases of mindfulness, and
* the supreme trainer of the human heart.
On the eve of his return journey, Citta put all the things he had brought with him in the rooms of the monastery as offerings to the Buddha .The Buddha said, “Ananda, this disciple is fully endowed with faith and generosity; he is also virtuous and his reputation spreads far and wide. Such a one is sure to be revered and showered with riches wherever he goes.”
Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
He who is full of faith and virtue, who also possesses fame and fortune, is held in reverence wherever he goes.
The Dhammapada Atthakatha says that once Citta made offerings to some monks and one of the monks was rather rude. He was therefore rebuked by Citta . The monk complained to the Buddha against Citta but Buddha rebuked him and asked him to apologize to Citta (the monk became an arahant eventually).
The fool will desire undue reputation, precedence among monks,
authority in the monasteries, honor among families.
Let both laymen and monks think, “by myself was this done;
in every work, great or small, let them refer to me.”
Such is the ambition of the fool; his desires and pride increase.
Asantam bhavanamiccheyya / purekkharanca bhikkhusu / avasesu ca issariyam / pujam parakulesu ca.
Mameva kata mannantu / gihi pabbajita ubho / mamevativasa assu/ kiccakiccesu kismici / iti balassa sankappo/ iccha mano ca vaddhati
When Citta lay ill just before his death, he did not wish for heaven because he did not aspire to anything so impermanent. True to his calling he gave his last advice to those gathered around his death bed. Citta requested them to have trust and confidence in the Buddha and the Dhamma ; and to remain unswervingly generous to the Sangha.
Citta was an ideal lay disciple , an ideal preacher and an ideal son.
“Should a devoted mother wish to encourage her beloved only son in a proper way she should say to him:
‘Try to become like the disciple Citta“

For a few years now my husband has been perplexed at the amount of money I spend on quilting and how I just 'give' my quilts away. He's been after me to sell them. I've told him that it is nearly impossible to get your money back from a quilt. I told him I didn't quilt to make money...it's my hobby. He still didn't get it.
Finally it dawned on me. I said " Why don't you sell all the fish you catch? You have spent so much money on rods and reels and gizmos and clothing and gas and a trailer and you have nothing to show for it." He nodded his head and said "Now I understand".
I wish I would have thought of that a few years ago. I finally got through to him!

I'm old, and old fashion, not necessarily in that order😄. I habitually do some things, unnecessarily, manually, lol!
So when you say you're using an "original" APK, I assume that this is one that you've made yourself? In that case I do have to ask the obvious question..does the APK install before you try decompiling it? (I mean no insult by that, it's just one of those questions I have to ask.)
I made an app a few years ago that was a basic 'Hello World' thing, following directions on Google's developers website. It was incredibly simple but I could de/recompile it without any trouble installing it.
In your situation, I can think of two likely solutions. First, is your APK signed using the V2 method (https://source.android.com/security/apksigning/v2)? If so, decompiling and recompiling it will break that key.
Failing that, did you install any framework files before you decompiled? It's possible your recompiled file is missing essential resources.
PS: Thank you! That's kind of you to say. I was looking at becoming a software engineer before my career took a massive change. I've forgotten pretty much every bit of C++ I learned but I like to think I can still design a good program..
I'm not familiar necessarily with Samsung anymore but you are probably going to have to install it via a magisk module.
You may be able to copy it to system but what you have to do is use the original apk as the one used to copy to your system. Unzip both the original and the recompiled apk. Copy the modded portion from the recompiled apk to the original. Zip the original one back up and install it. Since you didn't actually change anything, just pick anything.
I've tried a handful of different apks mostly from apkpure.com. One well-known app that I tried to decompile/recompile was Speedtest by Ookla_v4.4.17_apkpure.com.apk. I did rename the file to speedtest.apk as either Windows or the script doesn't seem to like spaces very much. I'm not sure how to tell if an apk is signed using the V2 method but I will read that link you provided.
This apk will install fine prior to decompiling, but once decompiled and recompiled, no go. I haven't installed any frameworks files at all. I followed your original guide and took note that framework files were mostly required when modding system-related files and apps and that the framework directory is the least used of the four of the WorkArea structure. I may be misinterpreting this as this thread does have ~800 pages that I haven't been able to read through yet

Thanks for the reply Tulsadiver. I haven't heard of magisk so I'll read up on that. I've been able to transfer over other people's modded apks using either adb or Google Drive fairly easily and they do install on the Samsung without intervention.
I downloaded the latest Samsung Flow for Windows 10 and tried dragging and dropping a recompiled apk. Still the same issue - immediately says "App not installed." I think I may be misunderstanding dragging and dropping as you mentioned zip files? Was this an older technique?
I've just uploaded V16.1 to the Downloads tab.
This has a few bug fixes, a fixed "Pull File From Any Location" option, a snapshot apktool version (thanks go to @Tulsadiver), another language (thanks to @FunSucker) and I'm trying something new..
The new version contains both the 32bit and 64 bit versions. There's a batch file ("Tickle My Android.bat") which will work out which version applies to you and puts into the main folder.
Check it out and let me know how it goes!
Framework files, or framework APK files, are files that contain resources that are used by other APK files in the rom. The main one is "framework-res.apk" but some developers like to add their own to the mix as well. Framework files have, or should have otherwise it gets confusing, "res" in their filename.
Framework files need to be installed (via TMA, not your phone) before you decompile your APK. This will ensure that the resources in them will become available. This might be what's happening with your file. A few posts ago I shared a framework-res.apk from an Android 10 AOSP rom. Try installing that then decompiling and recompiling your file. If you still don't have any luck, could you share the file here please? I can give it a try and see what I can come up with.
Dragging and dropping here refers to a process done after recompiling. Essentially you'd open both the original and recompiled APK in 7zip or similar. Then you'd drag the changed files (like the "\res" folder, for instance) from the new APK into the old one. This ensures that the other files aren't touched.
Mainly this ensures that the META-INF folder isn't changed. This holds the key that the file is signed with and has to stay exactly the same (even down to the compression rate) or the new APK won't be installed. Apktool removes the need for this with the option I mentioned above but it seems that dragging and dropping might still be needed for Samsung.
Not the first time that Samsung has caused trouble, to be honest. Long-term subscribers of this thread may remember a few instances in the past where that company has given me a headache or two. Great hardware but not very friendly modder-friendly!

It should come as no surprise if the volume and complexity of Scottish appeals for rates reductions on the basis of hardship or Material Changes in Circumstance overwhelms the rating system in the coming months.
In spite of exceptional levels of high street discounting in December and January, retailers have, in the main, reported poor winter trading results. In addition, an inflation driven 5.6% increase in rate liability awaits all non-domestic ratepayers, and the continuing near recessionary economic malaise shows little sign of abating any time soon.
Businesses are struggling and losing faith in the rating system
With the government’s Valuation Office Agency seemingly unable to settle appeals quickly, and hardship relief from already hard pressed local authorities in very short supply, businesses are losing confidence in the ability of the rating system to address their complaints. Increasingly desperate occupiers are voicing concern as never before.
Past issues of Rating in Brief have discussed numerous examples of the law of unintended consequences buried deep within non-domestic rating legislation. The situation in Scotland with regard to the consequential effect of a drop in rental values on the interpretation of some aspects of rating law now merits a mention.
Two rating clauses drafted over 25 years ago are under the spotlight
The interaction of two particular rating clauses, placed on the Scottish statute books more than 25 years ago, and clearly drafted without regard for future recessionary economic conditions, are now under the spotlight.
Since 1984, the definition of a Material Change in Circumstances has not excluded “any change in the general level of rental values”. Thus, as the country’s current economic peril is clearly causing rental values to fall, it could be argued that this drop in value constitutes a valid ‘Material Change’ for occupiers in Scotland. In fact, one renowned case in 2010 achieved an estimated 43% reduction in rateable value as a result of exactly this argument.
Now consider the ‘Tone of the Roll’ provisions enacted back in 1966. These provisions set a ceiling on the level of increases in rateable value allowable during a revaluation. They require that any increases in valuation (perhaps being brought about by a return to favourable economic conditions) may reach, but must not exceed the valuation set at the ‘tone date’, when the original assumptions for revaluation were defined.
Scottish occupiers can appeal for a reduction in rate liability
These two provisions offer occupiers in Scotland the opportunity to appeal for a reduction in rates liability as the result of a recession led Material Change in Circumstance. Then, when the economy flourishes, as it surely will, successful appellants in Scotland may benefit further by having any future increases in liability limited by the Tone of the Roll provisions.
No such ceiling exists in England, and therein lies the rub. This unintended legal consequence brings to light yet another disparity in the treatment of businesses for tax purposes within the different jurisdictions of the United Kingdom. If a large enough number of businesses in Scotland successfully argue the case for a recession driven reduction in rate liability, the resulting gap in funding for the nationalist Scottish government in Edinburgh may indirectly have to be funded by businesses located south of the border.

South Florida Bad Faith Insurance Law Firm
The law office of Michelle M. Niemeyer, P.A . has many years of practice experience handling cases involving bad faith insurance practices. "Bad Faith" from an insurance company usually involves a failure by the insurance company to honor the terms of the contract of insurance with a policyholder or to comply with standards established by Florida law. Florida Statute Section 624.155 provides for civil remedies for policyholders who become the victims of bad faith insurance practices. Because bad faith practices are not always obvious even to most attorneys, you need an attorney who is experienced in insurance law and can recognize the signs of a valid bad faith insurance case.
Bad Faith Insurance Practices
There are several unlawful or unethical practices an insurance company might engage in that can lead to legitimate charges of Bad Faith Practices under Florida statute section 624.155. Any of these, or similar practices, can result in a client seeking compensation for damages. Some bad faith insurance or unfair claim settlement practices include, but are not limited to:
- Attempting to settle claims on the basis of an application, when serving as a binder or intended to become a part of the policy, or any other material document which was altered without notice to, or knowledge or consent of, the insured
- A material misrepresentation made to an insured or any other person having an interest in the proceeds payable under such contract or policy, for the purpose and with the intent of effecting settlement of such claims, loss, or damage under such contract or policy on less favorable terms than those provided in, and contemplated by, such contract or policy; or
- Committing or performing with such frequency as to indicate a general business practice any of the following:
- Failing to adopt and implement standards for the proper investigation of claims;
- Misrepresenting pertinent facts or insurance policy provisions relating to coverages at issue;
- Failing to acknowledge and act promptly upon communications with respect to claims;
- Denying claims without conducting reasonable investigations based upon available information;
- Failing to affirm or deny full or partial coverage of claims, and, as to partial coverage, the dollar amount or extent of coverage, or failing to provide a written statement that the claim is being investigated, upon the written request of the insured within 30 days after proof-of-loss statements have been completed;
- Failing to promptly provide a reasonable explanation in writing to the insured of the basis in the insurance policy, in relation to the facts or applicable law, for denial of a claim or for the offer of a compromise settlement;
- Failing to promptly notify the insured of any additional information necessary for the processing of a claim; or
- Failing to clearly explain the nature of the requested information and the reasons why such information is necessary.
- Failure to maintain complaint-handling procedures.--Failure of any person to maintain a complete record of all the complaints received since the date of the last examination. For purposes of this paragraph, "complaint" means any written communication primarily expressing a grievance.
Contact the bad faith insurance litigation office of Michelle M. Niemeyer, P.A., to schedule a consultation about your dispute.

I would fill every "P" spot possible with a STARTING pitcher. Given the scoring system you mentioned, it's hard to imagine a closer getting more points over the course of a season than a reasonable starter, even a WW or FA starter.
And this is NOT ROTO. Just because Holds is a category doesn't mean you should try to compete in that category. If a "holds" guy produces 100 points over the season and an SP produces 101 points, you want the SP 100% of the time. Your holds pitcher will not outproduce guys who are likely still availible at SP. Even guys like Hudson, Sowers, Igawa, Bonser, Maine, etc., who are all probably on your FA list right now, will probably earn twice as many points on their W-L record alone than any holds guy will earn in the "holds" category.

If you think you're experiencing fatigue, talk to your doctor. If possible, give your doctor specific information about your fatigue. Instead of saying, "I'm tired all the time," give an example such as, "I get tired when I walk up the five stairs to my office."
Because there are so many causes of fatigue, there's no one medicine that can relieve fatigue. Together, you and your doctor can figure out ways to reduce your fatigue. The following pages may help you manage your fatigue:
- Complementary and Holistic Medicine Techniques for Fatigue
- Exercise for Fatigue
- Eating to Manage Fatigue
- Medications to Help Fatigue
- Other Tips to Manage Fatigue
"On my best days I can triumph. On my worst days I despair. You and I probably have that in common. But even when we despair, there's a spark within us that cries out, 'There's more! There's more!' My hope and prayer is that is the midst of fatigue we can hear and respond to that life cry which embodies as much fullness in the everyday as possible. You go, girl, and I will too, and we can encourage each other just by knowing there are others on similar journeys, that you and I are not alone."— Lynn

Rogers has announced it has activated additional AWS-1 LTE spectrum in BC and Alberta, to bring double the speeds for its customers. The spectrum was acquired from Shaw (as part of the Mobilicity deal), and was unused since 2008 until now.
“Today we’re opening more lanes on our wireless superhighway,” said Raj Doshi, Executive Vice President of Wireless Services at Rogers Communications. “Those new lanes will mean faster speeds as we all stream more and more mobile video and connect with friends and family.”
The additional spectrum means customers can connect to the Rogers AWS LTE network and experience double the speeds compared to before. The spectrum is being first launched in Calgary, Edmonton, Medicine Hat, Kelowna, Prince George, Vancouver and other areas, with the rest of the spectrum to go live by mid-2016.
Doshi continued to say “This spectrum is a valuable resource to Canadians and now it is being put to good use, helping people connect with friends and family faster than ever before.”
Shaw said the total proceeds of the AWS spectrum sale to Rogers was $350 million, which includes licenses in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Northern Ontario.
Update: Rogers has sent us the specific communities where the AWS-1 network has been activated. They also confirmed it’s available for Fido customers.
Vancouver: Burnaby, New Westminster and Richmond
Edmonton: City of Edmonton, St Albert, Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Leduc, Nisku, Beaumont and Morinville
Calgary: Calgary, Airdrie
Other Alberta: Medicine Hat, Lloydminster, Wetaskiwin, Drayton Valley and Camrose
Other BC: Kelowna

The Blood Hunter Champion's scary new look hints at new abilities
League Of Legends Champion Warwick has always looked badass, in that way that only a massive bloody wolf can, but he's not been the most viable choice for League players hungry for victory.
If this new cinematic snippet from Riot Games is any sort of hint he's about to get a new look and some new abilities. No, you don't say any gameplay but you do see an Olympian-level jump and a possible buff from that giant glowing tube of chemicals in his back.
Four months ago Riot revealed some details about the reworked character in a developer blog.
"Currently Warwick is very beginner friendly. We actually want to embrace that and push it even further than it is now. We want Warwick's gameplay to actually teach new junglers how to be an effective jungler," it said.
For the uninitiated, "jungling" refers to killing the neutral monsters that appear on a map during a match.
"We also have heard loud and clear that players think Warwick’s kit is kind of boring and outdated," Riot said. "While we don’t want to raise Warwick’s skill floor, we do want to increase his skill ceiling a bit and add more depth to his gameplay. We also want to bring Warwick's art and thematics up to modern Riot standards by giving him a proper place in our world. We think violence is an important theme for Warwick and we want to see how far we can push that thematic."

Not much going on in winter ball now, but we have an impressive highlight to share. In winter league action from Australia on Thursday, Bligh Madris went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer. He also picked up an outfielder assist. Here’s the home run…which just landed right now as you’re reading this.
Down in Australia today, Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Bligh Madris turns on this pitch and sends it to Altoona https://t.co/TSxqVUI476
— John Dreker (@JohnDreker) February 4, 2021
Brandan Bidois pitched the final two innings of his team’s win, allowing two runs on one hit and three walks, while striking out four batters. He threw 47 pitches, with 22 going for strikes. In five appearances, the 19-year-old right-hander has given up six runs over ten innings, with seven hits, six walks and ten strikeouts.
On Friday, Madris went 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI. He’s now hitting .260/.348/.429 in 24 games this winter.
The playoffs in Australia begin on Tuesday. The Perth Heat (Robbie Glendinning, Beau Sulser) have off this weekend, but they will be in the playoffs.

Urban growth prediction has acquired an important consideration in urban sustainability. An effective approach of urban prediction can be a valuable tool in urban decision making and planning. A large urban development has been occurred during last decade in the touristic village of Pogonia Etoloakarnanias, Greece, where an urban growth of 57.5% has been recorded from 2003 to 2011. The prediction of new urban settlements was achieved using fractals and theory of chaos. More specifically, it was found that the urban growth is taken place within a Sierpinski carpet. Several shapes of Sierpinski carpets were tested in order to find the most appropriate, which produced an accuracy percentage of 70.6% for training set and 81.8% for validation set. This prediction method can be effectively applied in urban growth modelling, once cities are fractals and urban complexity can be successfully described through a Sierpinski tessellation.
Fractals are dynamic objects, where their geometry depends on an evolutionary process. An important characteristic of fractals is the complexity of spatial objects which it can be described by self-similarity and scaledependence . Science is at the edge between reality and mind . Although the complexity which exists in nature, science must adopt some simplifications (Occam’s razor plays an important role for selecting the simplest explanation) in order to achieve a better representation of natural phenomena. Instead of retrieving complexity with simplicity, multiplicity may be an alternative aspect of handling real world. This means that an intermediate approach is followed where an occasion is divided in many simple parts, where a solution close to reality is obtained (complexity: difficult to understand, simplicity: easy to understand, multiplicity: closer to reality).
Fractal geometry, developed by Mandelbrot , is a widely used mathematical development in the 20th century . The mathematical objects in fractal geometry can take intermediate dimensions (e.g. 1.65) unlike Euclidean geometry with integer values. The idea of fractal can be easily understood if we consider an object which appears the same in any scale, e.g. clouds or costlines. Urban areas (villages and cities) can be considered as complex dynamic systems, where their spatial pattern is determined by land use dynamics within the self-organized urban system. Fractal theory deals with the non-linear complexity of urban spatial structural form [5,6]. The urban complexity refers to the non-linear relationships between different components of the urban structure, where order and chaos are the two sides of the same coin, which are alternated within the self-organized urban system. Selforganization in urban systems refers to the ability of the system to re-organize its spatial urban components with an endogenous force. In a self-organized system, the local non-linear interactions of the system components lead to a specific global structure. Self-organization should be seen as the adaptive response of a system to external conditions, rather than an isolated network of individuals where only interrelationships are considered . In selforganization, the interactions between constituent elements (low level rules) are sufficient to create high overall change [8,9]. The urban system behaves unexpectedly when it is fragmented and partially examined. This behaviour lies on the fact that the parts produced are components of a self-organized system and they must be treated as a whole system and not as autonomous parts [10,11].
applied fractal dimension in order to measure the degree of irregularity of land uses which describe urban morphology. [13,14] analyzed the urban spatiotemporal evolution using relationships between urban area and population size, which have been proved to conform to the law of allometric growth . In general, allometric growth indicates that the rate of the relative growth of an organ is a constant fraction of the relative growth of the total organism . used a Minkowski dilation in order to define the morphological boundaries of urban agglomeration, following by a distance threshold which corresponds to the break point of the existence of spatial discontinuity of urban structures and stops the dilation process. Analysis of landscape metrics, which express the fractal geometry of objects, has been used to describe urban land use dynamics and to support the analysis of urban growth [16,17]. used the landscape metrics: contagion intex and fractal dimension, in order to detect urban land use changes and analyse urban growth.
Fractal structures are produced by iterations of the same principle in a given pattern of points, lines or surfaces by subtracting parts at a fixed quantity. Self similarity at different scales (tend to infinity) is the main characteristic of these repetitions. The Sierpinski carpet, a generalization of the Cantor set in two dimensional space, is a fractal construction developed by Sierpinski in 1916. The Sierpinski carpet is going to be used in this research in order to find areas, which are more suitable for urban development, once urban development follows a fractal shape.
Urban growth in the touristic village of Pogonia Etoloakarnanias, western Greece, is examined in this research paper. A large percentage of urban growth has been occurred the last 8 years (2003-2011). More specifically, the house settlements increased 57.5% during this period due to touristic development . A stochastic method of considering the importance of neighbourhood interactions between urban structures by using the network or distances between them was applied in order to model urban growth . Because, as has remarked, the application of deterministic variables, which influence urban growth, has not produced satisfactory results in urban modelling comparing with stochastic methods, fractal approach is going to be used in this current research in order to predict the candidate areas for urban development.
The objective of this paper is to divide the study area using fractal methods (Sierpinski tessellation) in order to predict future urban growth. The areas which remain after Sierpinski carpet abstraction iterations have the potential to be urbanized, following their fractal distributional principle.
2. Study Area and Methodology
2.1. Study Area
The touristic village of Pogonia, Etoloakarnanias, in western Greece is the study area (Figure 1). It is specified by Xmin: 224,994 m, Xmax: 226,221 m and Ymin: 4,297,944 m, Ymax: 4,299,157 m (Greek Grid). Two urban land use maps produced for the years 2003 and 2011 were used for studying urban growth. 50 more urban settlements were built during this period, making a total number of 192 urban settlements today.
Figure 1. Study area (Pogonia village).
This rapid expansion of urbanization in this small village (57.5% area increase) is very interesting not only for scientific purposes, but also for local community. Therefore, local authorities must take into account this rapid urban trend, trying to keep sustainability of natural resources and local traditions along with hospitality of touristic development opportunity .
2.2. Fractal Geometry
Euclidean geometry is largely descriptive and is difficult to represent the urban growth explicitly . It works with objects in integer dimensions, e.g. points: zero dimension (0D), lines: one dimension (1D), surfaces: two dimensions (2D) and space: three dimensions (3D). However many objects in nature can be described by dimensions between these sharp values of Euclidean geometry. For example, a straight line in Euclidean geometry takes a dimension of 1, while a fractal curve can take dimension between 1 and 2 depending on how much space it covers as it curves and spins. If a fractal curve tends to fill a plane, then the fractal dimension goes to two. Moreover, a fractal landscape with rough hills would approach the third dimension.
2.3. Sierpinski Carpet
To build the Sierpinski carpet, we start with a square (iteration 1). We continue dividing each square into nine equal squares, abstracting the middle one. This is the generator of the construction. In Figure 2, four iterations of the Sierpinski carpet are presented, where the squares remained are: 1, 8, 64 and 512 respectively.
Let Nn be the number of remained boxes (Nn = 8n), Ln the length of a side of a blank box (Ln = (1/3)n) and An the area of remained boxes after nth iteration (An = = (8/9)n). The total area when the iterations go to infinity is zero according to the Equation (1):
The fractal dimension of Sierpinski carpet is calculated as follows . Because in the fractal shape there is 8 identical figures which each of them need to be magnified 3 times in order to get the entire image, the fractal dimension is log8/log3, i.e. approximately 1.89.
A similar geometric object can also be constructing by adding squares using a generator code. In Figure 3, three iterations are presented, where a more complicated shape is produced by adding cross-squared parts.
Figure 2. Sierpinski carpet construction (1).
Figure 3. Sierpinski carpet construction (2).
Urbanization process can be easily understood using the example in Figure 3. Let us assume that a town at iteration 0 having a square-like shape. At the next iteration, districts are added to the town along its four sides. The same process is continuing in the next generations, creating a city-shaped structure .
The current research is going to be based to this Sierpinski carpet tessellation of space. It is assumed that the urban growth is taken place within the red-shaded rectangles of Figure 2, adopting a fractal distributional structure.
2.4. Model Development
The idea of model development is based in the concept that the urban growth is taken place within the areas produced by Sierpinski carpet tessellation of study area. Therefore, a Sierpinski carpet is produced for many iterations. The centre of the rectangle in iteration 1 is selected according to an empirical method. This method estimates the centroid of the study area according to the density of urban settlements in 2003. Thus, the average X-coordinate and Y-coordinate of the study area centroid is calculated taking into account all the X and Y coordinates of the centroids of urban settlements. This point is the start point for building the Sierpinski carpet.
For producing the Sierpinski carpet, several rectangles with different shapes instead of squares are tested in order to find the most appropriate, which produces the best accuracy for the developed areas (urban settlements) in training set of 2011. More specifically, after tessellation, the Sierpinski carpet is overlaid with the land use map of 2011 (validation set) in order to estimate the accuracy percentage of the prediction. The urban settlements are drawn as points, which represent the centroid of each building.
In Figure 4 the design of model development, which contains four steps, is presented. In the first step, the centroid of study area is calculated using buildings of 2003. Sierpinski carpets of different size are drawn using the centroid of study area as starting point of the first rectangle. In step 3, the buildings of 2011 are presented in relation with the starting point of Sierpinski tessellation.
Finally, an overlay is taken place between the buildings of 2011 and the Sierpinski carpet in order to calculate the percentage accuracy of the urban growth predicttion. As it has been already mentioned, the buildings of 2011 are divided in two sets: training set and validation set. 80% of the total number of points-buildings of 2011 is considered as training set, while the remaining 20% as validation set.
3. Results and Discussion
After calculating the centroid of study area, a number of Sierpinski carpets are produced using as centre of the first rectangle this centroid of study area. The accuracy of the urban growth prediction is calculated by overlaying the Sierpinski carpet and the land use map of 2011 and measuring the number of points (urban settlements) which are situated within the remaining area of Sierpinski carpet after each iteration.
The construction of Sierpinski carpet does not seem to follow a specific rule. That is, the dimensions of the rectangles cannot be predefined and therefore their suitability is tested with the accuracy after the land use map of 2011 (training set) is overlaid. Random shapes of rectangles were tested in order to find the most appropriate. The best accuracy percentage of urban growth is achieved using a Sierpinski carpet with dimensions of the first rectangle 700 × 900 m (1st iteration). The middle rectangle of 233.3 × 300 m is abstracting in 2nd iteration, while the missing rectangle of 3rd and 4th iterations are 77.8 × 100 m and 25.9 × 33.3 m respectively and so on (Figure 5).
Figure 4. Design of model development.
Figure 5. Results of urban growth prediction in 2011.
The accuracy of the urban growth prediction in 2011 for both sets (training and validation sets) is calculated from the points-buildings which are fallen within the shaded area of Sierpinski carpet. The results are graphically presented in Figure 6.
Increasing iterations, the accuracy reaches their lower value rapidly. As Figure 6 presents, from 5th iteration and beyond, all the points-buildings from both training and validation sets are completely situated with Sierpinski carpet (the accuracy remains the same). The accuracy after 5th iteration is 70.6% for training set and 81.8% for validation set, which is considered quite satisfactory.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the majority of buildings (considered as points) are situated in a fractal space which its area tends to zero after infinite division (infinite iterations). This can be explained by fractal dimension of the Sierpinski carpet. Because its fractal dimension is 1.89, the shape is neither a plane (11% divergence from being a plane) nor a line (89% divergence from being a line). The two limits, zero and infinity belongs to plane (iteration 1) and line (infinite iterations) respectively. Therefore, in infinite iterations, the area is disappeared (line).
Sharp values of Euclidean topological dimensions (D = 1, 2, 3) are not found in nature. Urbanization like any natural phenomenon follows a fractal structure in its development.
An urban growth model was developed in this current research paper using fractals and theory of chaos. Once urban areas are fractals and urbanization follows a fractal shape development, urban growth was considered that takes place within a fractal space of Sierpinski carpet.
After testing different shapes of Sierpinski carpets, it was found that the majority of buildings were situated within Sierpinski carpet. More specifically, after 5th iteration of Sierpinski carpet tessellation, the accuracy reaches its final value for both training and validation sets. Because of the satisfactory value of urban growth prediction, this paper proposes an alternative approach of urban growth modelling and generally land use change modelling based on the fractal urban structure.
Figure 6. Accuracy percentage in different iterations in training and validation sets.
All objects in nature are better explained using its fractal shape. Therefore, adopting methods of chaos theory could give a more representative way of thinking spatiotemporally. Because fractals have not been widely examined in land use modelling, there is enough room for future research based on this scientific field.
