RHINELANDER - County workers aren't the only ones who like to find issues and fix them on the roads. So does Delmore Consulting owner, Jeff Delmore. |
Delmore is hired by county boards to evaluate roads, signs and culverts. He find the signs, the ranks them, helping the county prioritize what work they need to do. |
"I check each sign, I mark it, GPS location and then I check the reflectivity of the sign, just the overall condition of it," said Delmore. |
It usually takes three to four weeks to gather all the information for each town. Delmore's currently in the Northwoods working for towns in Vilas County. |
"The town of Manitowish waters just had me do a road review for them, and so I just went through, and I rode over every road they had," said Delmore. |
He then gives the roads a PASER rating, which ranks the roads quality from zero to ten. Zero is a completely failed road. This gives the town a clearer picture of road conditions. |
"I can help them decide, prioritize what roads should be done now as far as maintaining the investment in the road, or which roads are too far gone," said Delmore. |
Delmore takes pictures of everything. When he's done, he maps out the locations. |
"The mapping system I've created with Google where all the data I collect, I put into the Google map and I make it to where a town board member just has to click on a sign to get that information about every single sign in their town," said Delmore. |
Delmore says that out of everything he surveys, culverts are the most difficult to find. |
"The way I find them is with my experience with roads, is I can tell where there's a big cross crack if it's a culvert sitting there or just a crack in the asphalt, and then I use a topography map to tell where the water's running, because water doesn't lie, it's going to run at the low spots," said Delmore. |
Those low spots are usually where culverts are, but Delmore also uses a metal detector to make sure he's found one. |
"You have to look at this not just as the asphalt surface, or not just a sign. It's the whole road system you have to look at," said Delmore. |
WARM tributes were paid today to former Lord Mayor and Honorary Alderman of York Ken Cooper, who has died following a long illness. |
York Labour MP Hugh Bayley said: "Ken was a great friend and an inspiration to people who knew him, and a father figure of York Labour Party. |
"He was a war hero, who survived and helped many others to survive in Japanese prisoner of war camps." |
Mr Bayley added: "Ken went on to lead the Labour group on York City Council, to become Lord Mayor of York, chairman of North Yorkshire County Council and Deputy Lord Lieutenant of North Yorkshire. |
"Ken and his wife, Dorothy, or Dolly to her friends, were inseparable, a truly wonderful partnership who worked together in the Labour Party and in public service." |
City of York Council leader Coun Rod Hills said he was "a man of courage and deep principle", adding: "I will never forget his courage, facing imprisonment by the Japanese, the loss of his son, and the way he faced his death." |
Liberal Democrat group leader Coun Steve Galloway said: "He was a Labour gentleman of the old order, a traditionalist who aspired to and achieved the highest offices both in the City of York and at North Yorkshire level." |
Conservative leader Coun John Galvin said "I'm very saddened. He has served the city loyally and well for many years." |
Mr Cooper's funeral will be on Tuesday, July 25, at 2pm at St Thomas Parish Church, York. He leaves his widow. |
EDISON — Most 12-year-old middle school students spend their summers engaged in the pursuit of leisure and ice cream. While Edison seventh-grader Atharva Kulkarni likes ice cream, water parks and beaches, summer is a time to continue his passion, cancer research, while also attending a three-week Rutgers Summer Scholar... |
Of the 145 students in the program, the majority are high school juniors and seniors. |
After learning about how his grandmother had suffered from breast cancer and a classmate’s mother who recently passed away from metastasized breast cancer, Kulkarni decided that he wanted to study this condition and to help in the fight to find a cure. |
“Cancer is a very clever illness. It recurs in unpredictable ways. It is a really a hard disease for doctors and patients to fight because it has a mind of its own. I want to understand that mind,” he said. |
But working toward a cancer cure research is challenging because as a minor he cannot conduct lab research on his own. So he chose to do computational analysis. |
Kulkarni is being mentored by Gyan Bhanot, a Rutgers faculty member with joint appointments in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry in the School of Arts and Sciences, and a member of Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey(RCINJ). |
Bhanot’s research involves using large mutational and genomic datasets to learn how tumors metastasize and to identify drug targets for improved therapy. Kulkarn's’s research consists of using computational analysis to identify gene mutation patterns in primary tumors that can predict recurrence and metastasis. |
Because every tumor is unique and its biology must be understood to find the most effective treatment, Kulkarni’s research is focused on the goal of “personalized cancer treatment.” His father, Atul, is a research scientist for CINJ and has spent his career involved in translational cancer research. Both he and his wif... |
The couple, who live in Edison, always take their son into their labs for “Take Your Child to Work Day.” Those discussions and excursions have led to Kulkarni's’s love of learning. |
“As a child, he was always excited about science, animals, medicine and anatomy. He wanted to watch videos about life science topics and was persistent in asking questions,” said his mother, who was instrumental in recommending the Rutgers Summer Scholars program. |
The course, called “Experimenting with Green Florescent Protein,” is a biochemistry instructional program for gifted and talented pre-college and college students. The program centers around green-fluorescent protein (GFP) and is taught by William Ward, a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology at ... |
The west coast jellyfish that contain this fluorescent protein are exciting teaching tools in biochemistry and molecular biology. Cloning of GFP has enabled tracking of nerve cell proliferation, stem cell colonization, tissue regeneration, cancer metastasis and other processes central to biomedicine. |
Kulkarni looked forward to the traditional classroom learning and lab work combined with exploration at the Jersey Shore to collect jellyfish or other marine creatures. |
When he is not seeking the next genetic breakthrough in cancer research, Kulkarni enjoys playing soccer and watched the FIFA World Cup. He has been learning Indian classical music since age 3 and is also an participant on “Science Saturdays,” a children's talk show on a local radio station that covers science topics. I... |
“I have been teaching on the Cook Campus of Rutgers University for 41 years," Ward said.." I love my job, especially teaching a three-credit, college level hands-on biochemistry course to pre-college gifted and talented summer session students Seeing youngsters tackle a demanding biochemistry course, and succeed beyond... |
More than 200 schools across Britain are using CCTV cameras in pupils' toilets or changing rooms, according to figures obtained by anti-surveillance campaigners, who warned that the research raised serious questions about the privacy of schoolchildren. |
A total of 825 cameras were located in the toilets or changing rooms of 207 schools across England, Scotland and Wales, according to data provided by more than 2,000 schools. |
The figures are based on freedom of information requests lodged by the campaign group Big Brother Watch. Its director, Nick Pickles, said the full extent of school surveillance was far higher than the group had expected, adding: "Schools need to come clean about why they are using these cameras and what is happening to... |
"Local authorities also need to be doing far more to rein in excessive surveillance in their areas and ensuring resources are not being diverted from more effective alternatives." |
The Radclyffe School in Oldham topped the list of schools with 20 cameras in toilets or changing rooms. |
Responses from 2,107 secondary schools and academies showed they used 47,806 cameras overall, including 26,887 inside school buildings. |
With 1.8m pupils being taught in these schools, there was an average of one camera for every 38 children. |
In all, 90% of schools had CCTV cameras, with an average of 24 cameras in each of the 1,537 secondary schools that responded and 30 cameras in each of the 570 academies. |
Big Brother Watch estimates the number of CCTV cameras in secondary schools and academies across England, Wales and Scotland was now 106,710. |
Pickles also claimed that the Home Office's proposals for a new regulatory structure was "not fit for purpose" and that a new post of surveillance camera commissioner "will have absolutely no powers to do anything". |
"CCTV can be beneficial in some cases but this is a decision that head teachers should take. Schools using CCTV are required by law to adhere to the Data Protection Act." |
Sharon Holder, the GMB's national officer, said the trade union was appalled at the findings: "Placing CCTV in school bathrooms poses a worrying development in school policy and raises a number of questions. How many parents have given headteachers permission to film their child going to the toilet or having a shower? ... |
Sao Paulo -- A mining dam collapsed in southeastern Brazil on Friday, inundating a nearby community in an enormous swath of reddish brown liquid waste and leaving an estimated 200 missing, according to Minas Gerais state firefighters. The regional governor's office said seven bodies have been recovered so far. |
Brazilian mining company Vale SA said earlier in a statement that the flow reached the community of Vila Ferteco and an administrative office, where employees were present. |
The company said it didn't have further information on deaths or injuries at the dam, located in the town of Brumadinho. Parts of the city were evacuated and local firefighters were rescuing people by helicopter and ground vehicles. |
There were no official reports of deaths, but the state fire department press department told The Associated Press that about 200 people were estimated to be missing. |
According to BBC News, the mayor of Brumadinho, Avimar de Melo, told local newspaper Hoje em Dia that "at least 50 people" had been killed. "We do not have more details because everything is happening very fast," he said. |
"The principal victims were our own workers," Schartzman told a news conference Friday evening. He said a restaurant was buried by the mud at lunchtime. |
Local television channel TV Record showed a firefighters' helicopter hovering inches off the ground as it pulled people covered in mud out of the sludge. |
"Our main worry now is to quickly find out where the missing people are," Fire Brigade Spokesman Lieutenant Pedro Aihara told GloboNews cable television channel. |
Photos showed the rooftops of structures poking above an extensive field of the mud, which also cut off roads. |
President Jair Bolsonaro sent a tweet saying he lamented the incident and was sending the three cabinet ministers to the area. |
Another dam administered by Vale and Australian mining company BHP Billiton collapsed in Mariana, Minas Gerais, in 2015, resulting in 19 deaths and dislocating hundreds from their homes. It's considered the worst environmental disaster in Brazilian history, with 60 million cubic meters of waste flooding rivers and even... |
The rivers of mining waste are raising fears of widespread contamination. According to Vale's website, tailings are mostly made up of sand and are non-toxic. However, a UN report found that the waste from the 2015 disaster "contained high levels of toxic heavy metals." The 2015 collapse left 250,000 people without drin... |
Vale is Brazil's largest mining company. Two hours after the accident, Vale stocks fell 10 percent on the New York Stock Exchange. |
You've probably seen Skywind, the ambitious fan project to re-create all of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind in Skyrim. Here's a new trailer for Skyblivion, which, as you might have guessed, is the ambitious fan project to re-create all of Oblivion in Skyrim. |
This is a totally different beast than the Beyond Skyrim: Cyrodiil project we've written about before. Skyblivion, made by the Skywind folks, has been in the works for quite some time now, and though it's still not playable (and, like all fan projects, might never be finished), this trailer's pretty fun. |
Microsoft is leaving no stone unturned to democratize AI. The latest move from Redmond aims to enable almost every Windows developer to build AI-infused applications. |
Microsoft has announced that the next major update to Windows will include the ability to run machine learning models natively with hardware acceleration. This feature instantly turns existing Windows devices, ranging from IoT edge devices to HoloLens to 2-in-1s and desktop PCs, into AI-enabled devices. Data scientists... |
Machine learning models have two essential stages – training & inference. The first phase includes training a model to learn from the patterns found in existing datasets. Typically, training is done on clusters of high-end cloud servers powered by GPUs. Once the model is tested and evaluated, it can predict from unseen... |
Developers can use Windows ML - a runtime Microsoft is going to embed in Windows - for inference at runtime. Inference works offline with no dependencies on the cloud making it ideal for integrating into IoT devices and portable PCs. |
Machine learning models are typically developed using popular frameworks such as Apache MXNet, TensorFlow, Microsoft CNTK, Caffe and Torch. These frameworks are expected to be present at runtime for inferences. Bundling multiple ML frameworks is not an ideal scenario for platform vendors. To address the interoperabilit... |
Microsoft is embedding ONNX in Windows through Windows ML. Since ONNX is independent of the frameworks, developers can run any model for inference. This is a smart move to avoid the dependency on one single ML framework. ONNX insulates Microsoft from dealing with a variety of frameworks and their versions. |
On DirectX12 capable devices, Windows ML accelerates the evaluation of Deep Learning models using the GPU. CPU optimizations additionally enable high-performance evaluation of both classical ML and Deep Learning algorithms. |
Windows ML evaluates on local hardware, removing concerns of connectivity, bandwidth, and data privacy. Local evaluation also enables low latency and high performance for quick evaluation results. |
For computer vision scenarios, Windows ML simplifies and optimizes the use of an image, video, and camera data by handling frame pre-processing and providing camera pipeline setup for model input. |
Through ONNX, Windows supports both classic machine learning and deep learning, enabling a spectrum of AI models and scenarios. Developers can acquire ONNX models to include in their applications either by creating and training ONNX models or converting models from existing sources. |
The real power of AI lies in creating newer user experiences for consumers. To make this happen, developers need to bring the magic of AI to devices used by consumers. Apple, Google, and Microsoft are attempting to empower developers through AI capabilities embedded into iOS, Android and Windows. Instead of creating a ... |
Paul Tisdale is not getting too carried away after MK Dons makde it three wins in row in League 2, beating Cambridge 1-0 on Saturday. |
Chuks Aneke's 50th career goal was enough to separate the sides, but it was a backs-to-the-wall second period as the U's piled forwards in a bid for an equaliser. |
Ade Azeez should have scored with a first half header, while David Amoo saw one effort cleared off the line by Jordan Houghton before firing just wide of Lee Nicholls post. The Dons keeper was also required to deny Liam O'Neil in stoppage time as Dons secured their third win and clean sheet in succession. |
"There's a long way to go yet, but in this world, it can become three losses," said manager Tisdale. "There's a lot of risk management, and you have to be a slight pessimist too, so I'm not going to get too carried away yet. |
"It was a really tough second half but I'm delighted with the way we played. We've had a couple of close ones previously this season, conceding late goals but today there didn't seem to be any sign that that would happen. |
"The defenders were resolute, a real sense of discipline and focus in and around the box. I would have loved a second goal in front of our great travelling support, they made it a great day for us. |
"We're beginning to gain confidence and belief. We had a really good defence in front of Lee Nicholls today, and a defence very determined to block the ball and make things quite predictable for him." |
Aneke's 50th career strike, coming after 29 minutes, came after a low-key opening period, but the game sparked into life when the striker was booked for a foul on Greg Taylor nine minutes earlier, culminating in his goal and Azeez's sitter just after the half hour mark. |
Tisdale continued: "In the first 20 minutes, everything was a bit low key, it felt an odd-day. It was windy and we couldn't really hear each other. But there were a few things which sparked everything off. None of us were pleased with his booking – Jordan Houghton committed a foul five minutes later which should have b... |
"It was from their set piece, and Ryan Watson cleared it. Chuks is incredibly strong and rolled his man. |
"Playing in conditions like these, with a strong wind against you, you need to go and get the second, you can't just sit there. We've done that a few times this year, but if you give the ball away, the ball comes back very quickly. We did extremely well one-on-one to stifle their attacks. Jordan Moore-Taylor gave a mas... |
MOSCOW, March 25 — The Soviet Union is undergoing a massive “self‐criticism” cam paign in which virtually every facet of economic management is under attack. |
Thousands of workers, man agers, party officials, Govern ment ministry specialists and even ministries themselves have been publicly criticized in the last three months. Only the ruling elite in the Communist party has been spared. |
