The area near the High Level and LRT bridges contains an array of well-preserved archaeological sites. If you walk down to the river bank along a cut made to construct the LRT bridge, or look down from the High Level bridge to the south bank to your right, you will see a large exposed face of the river bank. It contains numerous, well defined layers. Every year as the river erodes the banks, parts of archaeological sites are washed away and lost. Inspection of the flood plain sediments reveals bone scraps combined with ash and charcoal from both historic and prehistoric occupations. The flood plain sediments also reveal another ash deposit, a volcanic ash fall that covered a vast area of northwestern North America about 6800 years ago.
The massive eruption of Mount Mazama was about ten times the magnitude of Mount St. Helen’s in 1981 and has given archaeology a valuable dating technique. Archaeological remains found below the ash deposit are older than 6800 years above and those above the ash are younger. The Mazama ash exposed near the south abutment of the LRT bridge is part of a layer cake of sediments. These layers contain the most recent (A.D.1915) flood events and those that occurred well before the Mazama ash fall. When you touch the layers below the ash, you are reaching back more than 7000 years into the past.
Prior to the construction of the High Level bridge, this portion of the south bank of the river was the scene of several bustling industries. Some of the remains from these enterprises are now visible between the High Level and LRT bridges. If you search carefully, you will find building cellar depressions, chimney foundation, trash deposits, brick kilns and borrow pits. These features relate to Firmin Bedard’s Tannery (1895-1915) and Frank and John Pollard’s Brickyard (1898-1915).
Many of the early immigrants to the Edmonton area were originally drawn by the lure of northern gold fields, but they found another form of gold that persuaded them to put down roots in Edmonton. Clay seems an unlikely substitute for gold, but these early entrepreneurs recognized that the growing community would need bricks. The river valley clays and nearby coal seams provided the necessary ingredients for a brick manufacturing industry.
The most obvious feature here, related to brick making, is the huge borrow pit from the Pollard Brickyard. The clay from this pit was dug by hand and ramped out of the pit. The clay was then molded into bricks and fired in long linear kilns running perpendicular to the river. Brick from the plant was used to construct several local churches, including Holy Trinity (10037 84 Avenue), Strathcona Baptist (8318 104 Street) and St. Anthony’s (10661 82 Avenue). The Pollards built a two sory brick mansion adjacent to the plant.
Brick fragments are scattered over a wide area on the flats, and exposures in the river bank reveal dumps of brick debris and profiles of the former brick kilns. On the north side of the road running west from the LRT bridge ramp there are several linear brick kiln structures. If you look along the top of the riverbank between the High Level and LRT bridges, you can see cellar depressions and a chimney base. All of the industrial enterprises in this area, and elsewhere in the valley, were heavily damaged and ultimately closed as a result of the devastating flood of 1915. The alluvium from this flood can be seen at the very top of the riverbank profile. | 2019-04-26T00:09:15 | http://www.edmontonmapsheritage.ca/location/high-level-bridge-archaeological-site/ |

What is the literal meaning of “Hau ab!”?
However this is considered as not very polite, much like "Get lost!", or "F*** off!". I am wondering where German "Hau ab" comes from to explain why it is considered as rude in usage. What does it mean literally?
"Hau ab!" is the imperative of abhauen, which has the colloquial meaning (among others) of to escape quickly.
Together with the prefix ab- (off, away) you get to run away, to get off quickly.
But note that this old meaning of hauen is no longer present, and Grimm's doesn't say abhauen to mean to escape. If they didn't miss it, the verb must have derived this meaning after this part of the dictionary was written, but before hauen lost its meaning of to hurry.
This gives room to a second theory: according to the book Westjiddisches Wörterbuch, the verb abhauen might derive from abbauen, which is Rotwelsch for to escape, to flee and has Yiddish origins. It is further said to have a Hebrew root that means to come.
A Rotwelsch, i.e. thieve's argot, origin might also have contributed to the derogative touch of abhauen, which in turn can also explain (to some degree at least) why "Hau ab" sounds rather rude, as you mention in your question.
According to this link, hauen used to mean "hurry" or "run" at some point in addition to "beat", probably originating from "beating a horse to make it run faster". "Ab" is a Latin prefix meaning "away from."
So "abhauen" just means "run away".
I don't think it's rude because of its etymology, but because there are very few polite ways to tell someone to go away in general, because a) you're telling someone what to do, and b) you're telling them "I don't want you here." That's going to come across as impolite pretty much regardless of what words you use.
I don't think "Hau ab!" is any more impolite than "Go away!" "F**k off!" is stronger than that, and a better German equivalent would be "Verpiss dich!"
Hau ab, this comes from the verb abhauen, that's a word for "to run away".

The case began in May 2012 when attorney Alan Thayer, representing Eugene businessman John Brown, complained that it was unethical for Handy to ask Brown and others to make donations toward his $20,000 debt that stemmed from an earlier Seneca Timber-funded case against progressive county commissioners. Handy said he checked with the county’s finance department before asking supporters to assist with the debt.
Handy said at the time that he would be cleared of all allegations and called them “a smear tactic.” In addition to the end of the ethics commission investigation, the Oregon Department of Justice decided last fall against filing criminal charges against Handy.
One of Handy’s attorneys, Brian Michaels, said the issue revolved around whether Brown had a “legislative, economic or administrative interest” when Handy solicited a donation. The investigation determined that he did not.
Michaels said Campbell insulted him and Handy’s other attorney Marianne Dugan and questioned whether the investigator did her job. The director of the Ethics Commission and an assistant attorney general signed off on her report.
“What they are really saying to those people is ‘We don’t believe you, trust you, respect you.’ Which they didn’t say in those words, but by contesting them, they were saying, ‘We know more than you do even though you took all these months to do this investigation,’” Michaels said of the three committee members — including the member who originally put forth a motion to dismiss — voting against dismissal.
The end result though, since the committee took no action, is that the case expired July 17, and as Handy predicted shortly before the May election that he lost to Pat Farr, he was not found guilty of any ethics violations. | 2019-04-26T10:13:59 | https://www.eugeneweekly.com/2013/07/18/handy-didnt-violate-ethics-report-says/ |
Two Year Dreadiversary! – this luminous life.
June 1, 2015 May 31, 2016 ~ Laura N.
Today. my dreadlocks are two years old! Awww…. my hair is a toddler!
What I love the most about my hair now: it’s growing longer! Woo-hoo!
And they actually look like dreads…. more than they ever have. After so much shrinkage in the first year,(in addition to cutting off the wispy strands of my hair last year) my hair is finally long again! No more shrinkage, and the ends are now below my shoulders. The locks are also fuller and ‘cleaner’ looking — not as funky and bumpy. I LOVE it. Even more than before.
However…… my husband keeps asking me when I’ll cut my hair (he ‘tolerates’ it). I want to hold onto them as long as I can — I had actual nightmares about washing my hair only to have the dreads come out! Terrifying, indeed. 😛 Yet, the thought of cutting my hair off has been more appealing lately. I actually cut four dreads off in the past few months because they were growing out undreaded and the thin strands of hair was barely apply to support heavy locks. What I noticed when I cut them off? That area of my head got lighter. Yes indeed, this hair has some weight to it! Crazy awesome. But will I be chopping/combing out the rest any time soon? I don’t think so. Still waiting for that ‘magical’ three-year mark.
I’m kind of amazed I made it to two years. Glad I was able to stick with this. Happy with all the support, compliments, and acceptance I’ve recieved. And to those of you who say, “Oh I want to do that but I never could!” YES, you can!
If you’re curious, here’s my post explaining my reasons for dreadlocks and one year update.
Will I have a three-year update? We’ll see….

Hi Only posting a review as I am about to order another box load. These are perfect for someone like me who has a sweet tooth and wants to consider a "snack" between meals. Getting my 200+ gr of protein is not always easy especially when out for the day etc. These are PERFECT. They taste great! I feel sorry for the people who are posting the reviews asking for their money back - They are not SWEETS guys!!!! Grow a pair - Awesome product.
The coconut flavour bars are delicious. I saw alot of people saying they were too chewy and stuff. They are honestly great. I personally think people who were complaining about these must be very picky with food.
Extremely high in protein per serving, value for money Kind of chewy with bad aftertaste Coconut in the bar tries to give it an original light flavor but it's not enough to distract that it tastes like a chore to consume.
This bar tasts genuinely awful, with a horrible aftertaste aswell. It sticks to the back of your throat when you swallow. I legitimately shudder at the thought of eating one of these things. DO NOT BUY you will definitely regret it, thank me later.
Since the recent change in recipe I've been very disappointed with these having been a fan of for many years. They've become flavourless, with a cardboard texture and I'm afraid I won't be ordering them again. I miss the chocolate mint flavour too.
I just purchased these based on the reviews other people have said and I found them to be very distasteful. Taste is not great but it's bearable compared to the actual feeling when you try to chew it. It feels like you are chewing on a rubber, it is hard, chewy like a gum and it sticks to your teeth. Looking at the ingredients it contains, it has also Es inside it so I am not sure how healthy this bar could be :) I wouldn't recommend buying it if you are a person who knows what a good tasting food is and feels like.
I never write reviews but for this protein bar I didn't expect it to be this nice! I tried the chocolate orange flavour and it tastes really good with great macros too. It's soft and a perfect treat if you have sweet cravings! | 2019-04-21T06:30:29 | https://www.myprotein.com/sports-nutrition/high-protein-bar/11281405.html |
Does Medicare Cover Shower Chairs?
Medicare does not include “shower chairs” in their list of DME(durable medical equipment). Devices used for convenience, self-aid, or comfort do not fit the criteria for Medicare’s meaning of medically necessary equipment.
So unfortunately, you will need to pay out of pocket to acquire a shower chair for your use. The good thing is that shower chairs are usually under $100, and the most basic one can be priced at around $20-30.

Recipes-I love sharing recipes, I love finding recipes, I love trying recipes and then I love sharing recipes so that others can try them to. I think recipes need to be shared.
I love cookbooks, I love buying cookbooks and magazines, I love going into bookshops and flicking through the pages of a new cookbook and seeing what new and exciting thing I can cook my family. This recipe for instance, came from an Australian Women's Weekly Annual Christmas Cookbook I bought in 2012. I have never since buying it made something from it, then one day I picked it up, marked 6 recipes I wanted to try in the next fortnight and then started cooking them one by one. So far I have made 5, all are worthy of posting on What's Cooking Ella as they have been absolutely delicious. I even found my Flourless Chocolate, Pecan and Raspberry torte in the book, which is probably my favourite flourless chocolate cake ever. I had originally made it from a magazine clipping I had kept from an AWW magazine, now I have it in a book, and I have marked the page with a 'love'.
I love blogging, I love telling you short stories about the recipes and about my family. I don't get paid for blogging, sometimes I wish I was as it is time consuming posting recipes, but in all honesty, if I never made any money from this, that is okay with me, because I love it. I love my little food diary, I love that my kids go through it sometimes and tell me what to cook from it, I love when I see my husband has liked a Facebook photo, I love when I forget my shopping list at home, I can just go to my website , find the recipe I need and continue shopping. And as for the photos, everything is done in real time. I cook it, I take a quick photo of it, and then we eat it. There is no food stylist, this is my reality.
As for my followers, I love hearing from you, I love when people send me photos or comment on my blog or my Facebook page about a recipe they have tried. I love knowing that people are trying the food that my family loves. I don't always like writing, sometimes this is the hardest part. Today however, my son woke me up at 3am, he went back to sleep, but I cannot, so I'm blogging and I feel like writing. I probably should get onto the recipe though.
So the Plum Crumble, it is plum season at the moment, my 8 year old absolutely loves plums, so I made this dessert with him in mind, although I knew we would all love it. The first time I tried this recipe I actually made it with nectarines, as that is all I had in the house. It was delicious, slightly sweet for me, so I have since decreased the sugar a little, but if you prefer nectarines to plums, feel free to use nectarines. The second time I forgot to put on my oven timer and forgot about them, so I overcooked them, the plums turned into a jam consistency, they tasted great, but they collapsed and looked a bit of a mess. So the third time, I had the right ingredient, I turned on my timer and they were perfect. I actually prefer plums to nectarines, as I find them tarter, so you get a sweet and sour feel with this recipe.
The ice cream for me is a must as I love crumble with ice cream, but feel free to serve it with a lovely custard also.
These individual desserts are delicious and so easy to make. They are fast to prepare and just perfect in summer. You may associate crumbles with winter, but I love them in summer, just allow them to cool a little, plus plums are around in summer, so it is the only time we can enjoy them.
Now you can eat them hot from the oven, but if you have any leftover, they are delicious the next day when cold.
Also with the ovenproof dishes, I use what I have at home, that is why I get 7, but if you use smaller or larger ones you can make more or less of them. You can also make one large one rather than individual ones.
I have decreased both sugars by 10g for this recipe. If you taste your plums and they are very tart, increase the sugar by 10g for both of the sugars.
Give this crumble a go, we love it, and if you try it, let me know, I'd love to hear from you.
You can halve the plums, remove the stones and then slice the plums, but I prefer to cut wedges out of the plums around the stone, this way you don't squish the fruit as much. Discard the stones, place the plum slices in a large bowl. Add the caster sugar, mix well to combine. Allow to sit for 10 minutes, while you get on with the crumble topping.
Crumble Topping: Now I like to use a small food processor for this as it is quick and easy. Place the brown sugar, flour, coconut and butter in you mini food processor. Place on the lid and blitz until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
If you don't have a food processor, simply place the brown sugar, flour and coconut into a large bowl, add the cold chopped butter and rub in the butter using your fingertips. Some people enjoy this, I do no, I prefer the food processor.
After 10 minutes has passed, give the plums a quick stir to ensure they are well coated with the sugar. Then spoon the plums into the base of seven x 175ml (3/4 cup) ovenproof dishes or a 1 litre (4 cup) ovenproof dish.
Top the plums with the crumble mixture, place the dishes on an oven tray.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until the crumble is golden and the juices are bubbling over the side.
Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream or custard. | 2019-04-25T04:03:41 | https://www.whatscookingella.com/plum-crumbles.html |

The thesis was focused on off-grid energy production and consumption system. Meteoriihi Exhibition is off-grid system, including several renewable energy sources like solar, wind and diesel or biofuel generator. The difference in electricity production and consumption is energy stored in battery and it is meant to be buffered with batteries. Diesel generator can be used if production is otherwise insufficient. Because the battery capacity is not extensive, demand side management is needed to support the variation in energy production. The electricity demand consists of appliances like computers, audio-visual equipment, TVs, radio, refrigerator, coffee machine, for illuminance LED-lighting and heating. Heating is best suited for load control since it uses the largest share of available electricity and is not that time critical. The energy system requires sensors for monitoring energy flow and an adjustable controller for heating elements to control the electricity demand. The energy system requires sensors for monitoring energy flow and an adjustable controller for heating elements to control the electricity demand. The communication and control are handled by an energy management system, which can be implemented using LabVIEW.
The primary goal of the thesis is to implement the monitoring of the energy production and consumption, including the EMS as much as is required for monitoring. The secondary goal is to plan the load control system for heaters to balance the grid. The technologies developed can be applied in cases where electricity is required in areas where grid connection is too expensive. | 2019-04-18T22:21:14 | https://osuva.uwasa.fi/handle/10024/6627 |
THE Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) has approved the ATC license for the construction of 5,000 bpd modular refinery to Ikwe-Onna Refinery project located in Akwa Ibom State.
The company’s official, Modupe Salawu dropped the hint to Vanguard in Uyo saying, the refinery project under the supervision of Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Mr Ibe Kachikwu would be a flagship for Modular Refineries in the country.
She said that the original equipment manufacturers, Chemex Modular USA and Local Content Companies, Cakasa have moved to site to commence construction work.
The project, which ground-breaking was performed in December 20, 2016 by Dr Ibe Kachikwu, is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) under the Public Private Partnership (PPP), designed to encourage local refinery development and, peaceful cooperation with host communities to bring an end to the epileptic petroleum products supply by NNPC, as well as drag on the nation’s FOREX reserves.
The modular refinery, sited in a 50.1 hectares of land in Ikwe Community, Onna Local Government Area of the State, on completion will produce about 5000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) start-up, to be beefed up to 20,000 bpd, in the medium term and 100,000 bpd in the long term.
Earlier, the Chairman, Board of Directors of the company, Engr. Bassey Rex said that, the refinery was incorporated in August, 2016 as an indigenous oil and gas group in partnership with Ikwe Community, to enhance the socio-economic development of the state, with full participation of community stakeholders to bring its activities closer to the host communities, while ensuring equally green operations through foreign collaborators.
According to him, the refinery comes with major components such as the Petroleum layouts, Fertilizer Plants, Lubricant Factory, LPG Plant and, Bio-Refinery for integrated waste management through a robust biotechnology advancement, to produce energy from waste products as well as maintain cleaner and safe environment.
Engr. Rex further said: ‘’our loading bays shall have state of the art E-service system, as we have E-Card mega Filling stations for efficient close loop management and accounting process and, resolution of all prevalent issues of product distribution and safety through our mega Gas Park”.
On why the project is sited in Ikwe Community in Onna, he disclosed that: ‘’Akwa Ibom being one of the major oil producing states in Nigeria also doubles as the most peaceful oil producing states, with reasonable capacity to meet volume demand for several refineries to flourish. | 2019-04-19T14:20:59 | https://ngstudentforum.com.ng/p/228802/fg-grants-license-for-construction-of-ikwe-onna-refinery-in |

Klamath Falls donut (and coffee) fans are on high alert and eagerly anticipating the opening of “The Doughnut House” on May 14th.
The new establishment is owned and operated by Daniel Eytchison who has been baking since about 1979. Daniel has established and sold several bakeries in the past including West Side Bakery in Bend, and a West Side Bakery in La Grande. Additionally, he established a popular bakery in Enterprise, Oregon called “The Firehouse Bakery”. It was later sold and renamed Cloud 9 Bakery. Daniel said that he really enjoys baking and it is his passion. It’s a job he looks forward to each day.
The Doughnut House will offer coffee from Griffin Coffee Roasters out of the Rogue Valley area. Additionally, The Doughnut House will offer cappuccino, mochas, lattes, hot chocolate and tea.
The Doughnut House offers a fresh variety of cake, glazed, decorated, stuffed, fritters, and speciality donuts including an “attitude donut” along with bear claws and pull-a-parts. Daniel has a policy about the leftover donuts (assuming there are any) that are not sold during the day. He donates them to charities or people in need.
The inside of the Doughnut House is warm and inviting. The walls are lined with collectables including models of star ships, rail road memorabilia, and even R2D2 from Star Wars. The business is based on a “to go” and drive thru concept to service customers in a hurry. It will be an easy and convenient place to stop on the way to work (or maybe on the way home too) to pickup some coffee and donuts for the office or family.
Daniel said he plans to open the bakery at 5am and after getting a feel for demand he will likely close each day sometime between 2pm and 6pm depending on the customer flow. He is also considering being open 7 days a week.
The grand opening week is expected to be very busy. Until things “settle down” to a more normal flow it is recommended you allow a little extra time and a little patience when you visit.
The Grand Opening is this Monday May 14th at 5am. It will probably be a long and busy day for the staff there. We look forward to trying the “Doughnuts” and wish Daniel all the best in his newest venture. It was a lot of fun to sit down and visit with him.
They are located at 5019 South Sixth Street near Wiard.
Happy to see a new business opening in Klamath Falls!!!!
I took my grand daughter there yesterday at 11:00 am and it was closed. I didn’t see any signs with their hours listed anywhere. Was really disappointed.

Have you called upon the name of the LORD?
So you’ve found this page, huh? You hit that tiny link down at the bottom of the website. Maybe you were looking for something else, or maybe you just had nothing better to do.
Perhaps you are surprised that a professional would include something like this on his webpage. After all, I didn’t add any of my political opinions anywhere on the site, nor too much of my other personal musings. I have other websites and blogs for those things. Let me take a moment to tell you why I decided to add this page, though.
As a practicing Christian, I try to be mindful of God throughout the day and to include him in everything that I do. I often worship while I work on my clients’ accounts, listening to music or sermons or one of several podcasts that I enjoy. He is a big part of my work day, as well as of the way that I do business, and He therefore belongs on the Eckhardt Accounting website.
One of His mandates is to go into all the world and make disciples of all people. That, and not accountancy is my highest calling. It is my most important job.
You may or may not have heard the Gospel message before. If not, in a nutshell it’s that everyone has sinned, God hates sin, and God wants to be with you but can’t because you are a sinner and deserve death. Jesus is God incarnate and He died in your place, and if you will only trust that He has paid for your sins, He will remove them from you so that you can be together with Him both now and eternally.
If you’d like more information, I’ll be glad to talk with you about God. I am also very interested in reasonable faith, and Christian apologetics. I can steer you toward many resources for both the thinking skeptic and the thinking Christian. | 2019-04-20T23:00:45 | http://www.troyeckhardt.com/jesus-saves/ |

The PC first discussed the survey data provided to the PC by Merit for NANOG 49. There was minimal commentary.
Second, the PC discussed special ideas for the upcoming meeting, seeing as this will be the 50th NANOG meeting to take place. Ideas brainstormed included an Outrageous Opinions Panel, bring back our favorite NANOG talks from the past 50 meetings, reviewing old talks that made predictions for the future (and seeing if those predictions came true), and a bloopers reel from the video archive.
Talk recruiting continues - with the PC working on IPv6 talks, DNSSEC talks, and various datacenter networking panels in progress. We need someone to run the peering and security tracks, and the newcomer's breakfast.
Since the we did not have a formal quorum for this PC call, we were only able to discuss and review talks in the PC tool, no voting on talks occurred.
Recruiting for a formal keynote hasn't worked so far - the PC has been thinking about an airline in the area (Delta) to see if they can keynote on airplane routing and how it relates to network routing.
The PC call ended at 1pm Eastern. | 2019-04-23T02:05:42 | https://www.nanog.org/governance/pgm/minutes/50_072210 |

Completing BT’s Complete WiFi solution is the digital set-top box. Manufactured by Humax, this compact YouView compatible unit is available in either two versions, either with or without a hard drive.

Watch our last and final video as everyone here at Salisbury Cathedral wishes you all a very Merry Christmas!
Watch our last and final video as everyone here at Salisbury Cathedral wishes you all a very Merry Christmas! In our last and final vlog of the year we’ve asked everyone what Christmas means to them.
You can view all of our Vlogmas videos here.
Salisbury Cathedral is launching its largest and most ambitious social media project ever, thanks to a sixteen-year-old work experience student.
Connie Roberts from St Edmunds School, Salisbury, came up with the idea of making a ‘vlogmas’ at the Cathedral after getting hooked on the daily Christmas video blogs (‘vlogs’) that YouTube presenters (vloggers) post throughout December.
Vlogmas - Christmas in the Making is a first for Salisbury but may also be a first for any English Cathedral. Twenty-five home-made films, one for every day of December until Christmas Day, following the army of volunteers and staff as they prepare for the Cathedral’s busiest time of the year and set the stage for the important Christmas services.
The task of making the 25 short ‘vlogmas’ films fell to Amber Rawlings, who looks after Salisbury Cathedral’s social media. She and the team have been shooting on a Canon 700d with and without a tripod and iphones, and editing on iMovie.
Her vlogs (and Tyler's) offer lively backstage access to Cathedral life, featuring everything from a test run for ten-foot tall puppets that will feature in the Family service and the installation of laser lights in the triforium for the Star of Bethlehem, dress rehearsing the real-life donkey who plays her part in the Christmas story, finding paper angels in the attic waiting to descend in mid December, a school nativity practice, a Georgian Christmas at Mompesson House and choristers rehearsing Handel's Messiah for their concert on Wednesday 7 December.
Helping with the production are 22 recruits from Bishop Wordsworth School Sixth Form, who took on jobs including filming, editing and social media, even creating the stop-action titles.
Vlogmas will be published daily until Christmas Day on the Cathedral website and shared via Facebook and Twitter. | 2019-04-26T08:39:48 | https://www.salisburycathedral.org.uk/news/vlogmas-christmas-making |
Was the American Civil War about more than slavery? Did it begin before the firing on Fort Sumter, and end long after Lee’s surrender at Appomattox? And was the ultimate outcome of the Civil War and Reconstruction shaped more by events in the American West than on the battlefields of the South?
As the Civil War sesquicentennial concludes, we can see how certain explanations of the Civil War Era might remain taboo: the argument that the Confederacy cared more for its American Indian allies than the Union did; that, as late as 1865, President Lincoln and other Republicans still hoped to send African Americans away from the United States; that the nature of U.S. citizenship would be determined more by challenges from Spanish-speaking men in California and white women in Wyoming than by actions in the former Confederacy. And counterfactual history has its own taboos: Can we truly evaluate what would have happened if the Confederacy took New Mexico, and reached San Diego? Or if Confederate sympathizers had invaded Washington Territory from British Columbia?
These controversial ideas appear when we consider the histories of the Civil War Era and the American West in one frame, as part of an era of larger tests of U.S. sovereignty, and as fights over the nature of incorporation of a vast, diverse continent under one government. Rejected, affirmed, and mulled upon, these taboos find their place in the exciting new volume Civil War Wests: Testing the Limits of the United States. | 2019-04-20T08:27:29 | https://www.ucpress.edu/blog/17899/taboos-and-the-american-civil-war/ |
As a business owner, it is important to acknowledge that there may be consequences of not regularly looking into the company’s legal state. A legal audit can keep a business ahead of the game by addressing any underlying risks and identifying new opportunities. Understanding what a legal audit entails and the benefits it offers will provide better insight into why it is needed.
Since every business and industry is different, a business attorney will start by evaluating which areas would benefit most from a legal audit. These areas can include: government contract compliance; intellectual property protection; corporate structure; labor and employment procedures; health and safety violations; and anything else that could place a company at legal risks. Once possible liabilities have been identified, the attorney will advise the business on how to address the situation to prevent complications.
Many businesses are at risk of liabilities without even knowing. It is important to stay up-to-date on laws pertaining to owning and operating a business, as they are always changing. An attorney will assess current policies, procedures, contracts, etc. to determine how well the organization complies with local, state and national laws. By undergoing a legal audit, vulnerabilities can be identified before they occur.
In addition to minimizing legal risk in a business, a legal audit is intended to see what can be done to increase business valuation. By evaluating the state of intellectual property, proper documentation, workforce health, etc., business owners can assess what can be done to bring in additional revenue and increase value. This is especially beneficial if the exit strategy is to sell.
Once a legal audit is complete, a company can use the results to take preventative measures and seize otherwise unknown opportunities. If a business has been around for several years and has not been evaluated by an attorney, it may be time to contact a business attorney. | 2019-04-23T17:51:39 | http://colesadkin.com/2018/08/03/a-legal-audit-for-your-business/ |
It is the opinion of ASAP staff that the most important thing that we can do for our patients is to give them the opportunity to become completely free of illicit opioid use. ASAP can measure for compliance by reviewing urine drug screen results and checking for the percentage of urine drug screens that are positive for opioids. After reviewing all the urine drug screens that have been provided to ASAP since it has opened, ASAP staff have found that 36 out of 284 urine drug screens (13%) were positive for opioids. Of the 36 positive tests, 31 were within the first 30 days of treatment. Therefore, the positive urine drug screens were either from their admission urine test or a drug screen that occurred prior to being on a stable dose on maintenance medical therapy.
ASAP uses two metrics to measure the efficacy of services and the likelihood of successful outcomes; first, the staff tracks no-show rates for daily dosing, and secondly the staff tracks the number of required monthly counseling units completed. To date, ASAP has been able to achieve a no-show rate for daily dosing of less than 4%. Most of the no-shows for daily dosing were due to patients who have transportation issues, illness including hospitalization for other medical illnesses, and incarceration. ASAP staff have completed 100% of required monthly counseling units. ASAP staff realize that these numbers are likely to change as the patient census continues to grow. Accordingly, ASAP staff is dedicated to keeping no-show rates for both daily dosing and counselling low.
It is the goal of ASAP to admit every appropriate patient to our program within one business day of initial contact. We will achieve this by having either our medical director or a program physician on site every day that we are open. We also continue to constantly forecast what our nursing and counseling staff needs are to maintain the ability to admit patients that are appropriate for this modality of care. Of all patients with contracted insurance or self-pay, we have been able to achieve the one business day goal. ASAP will have contracts with all private and Medicaid HMOs in the area by April 1, 2019.
ASAP is aware that not all patients will wish to continue or complete treatment. However, successful patient outcomes are directly related to patient retention. ASAP’s goal is to retain as many patients as possible. ASAP is attempting to maximize retention by making accessibility to the clinic as easy as possible (see next section), having a warm and inviting waiting area with a designated children’s play area, private dosing rooms, and computerized check-in. ASAP has a private, locked patient Suggestion Box located in the waiting area. The Clinic Director reviews all patient suggestions and grievances daily and they are all addressed in the ASAP Performance Improvement Committee meetings. Furthermore, as stated above, having a physician present in the clinic daily allows for admission within one business day. The Clinic Director monitors patient census daily.
ASAP is located in Olin Center at 210 E. Olin Avenue, Madison, Wisconsin. This location was chosen for its excellent accessibility for all patients wishing treatment at our facility. The building is located adjacent to the major east-west highway traversing Madison. A bus stop is easily located directly next door heading west and directly across the street heading east. There are two designated handicapped parking stalls directly in front of the clinic, and there are an additional six designated parking spots for easy access in and out of the clinic. Furthermore, there is ample parking in the remaining parking area of Olin Center. The ASAP facility has been deliberately designed to be welcoming to individuals with disabilities. ASAP will make further accommodations for persons within this population should that ever become necessary. The entrance is continuously monitored and any patients needing assistance entering and exiting the clinic are immediately assisted. There are maps located though out the clinic depicting present location and emergency exits. There are multiple signs throughout the clinic designating no weapons allowed for patient and staff safety. Patient, employee and visitor safety is further enhanced by extensive video monitoring and staff presence inside, and directly outside, the clinic.
ASAP is conducting regular patient satisfaction surveys with every patient at two weeks after admission, six months after admission, at discharge, six months after discharge, and one year after discharge. The survey is used to gain input from patients regarding how ASAP is providing the tools and support needed to achieve meaningful recovery. Additionally, ASAP has a private, locked Suggestion Box located in the patient waiting area. All suggestions are collected daily by the ASAP Clinic Director, addressed within one business day, and reviewed monthly during the ASAP Performance Improvement Committee meeting. ASAP is using patient satisfaction surveys to gage the efficacy and effectiveness of services while guiding policy and personnel training to better serve those individuals who are seeking or are in treatment. Currently 100% of respondents agree or strongly agree that they are treated by ASAP staff with dignity and respect. 100% of respondents also agree or strongly agree that they would recommend ASAP to friends and family members who need services. | 2019-04-22T13:04:32 | https://www.clinicofhope.com/community-resources/annual-performance-improvement-report |
Students were able to examine different aspects of the Chinese culture, away from an Americanized point-of-view, with the new exhibit on campus, featuring the artist Chee Wang Ng.
A Chinese immigrant from Malaysia, Ng moved to New York City over 30 years ago. His work is a contemporary portrayal of his Chinese identity.
“Eaten Your Fill of Rice?” is the oldest series in Ng’s exhibit. The project features a bowl of rice superimposed over various backgrounds. His most prominent piece features a bowl of rice in front of Andy Warhol’s iconic Campbell’s Soup Can.
Another piece shows rice over colorful vertical and horizontal stripes. These stripes symbolize the directional strokes used to write Chinese characters, a discreet play on Ng’s Chinese heritage.
Rice is a vital part of the Chinese identity—the Chinese eat rice every single day.
Historically, a bowl of rice has an even larger significance. During the Mao Zedong Cultural Revolution, the term “iron rice bowl” was used to symbolize an unbreakable bowl. This term was used to convey that having an unbreakable bowl meant you had a drop of life, livelihood and security despite the turmoil caused by the Chinese government and military.
Ng’s most recent exhibit, “Dinner Time: Chinese Diaspora Livelihood” features photographs of various Chinese take-out restaurants. The message behind this series is evident—each restaurant is practically indistinguishable from the rest.
These differing identities were expressed in a photograph of neon signs on the outside of two Chinese restaurants. The signs read, “Chinese,” “Halal,” “West Indian” and “Gayonese.” Ng explained that this photo is an accurate representation of the diversity of Chinese cuisine.
Ng’s exhibition opened his audience’s eyes to observing Chinese culture in America in an inclusive, comprehensive manner. His contemporary artwork incorporates his unique identity and speaks measures on the minority stereotypes that exist in the United States.
“Beyond a Bowl of Rice” will continue to be on display through Dec. 9. | 2019-04-21T02:35:43 | http://ngcheewang.com/media-review-----------------/artist-ng-examines-chinese-culture-with-firsthand-perspective-at-lederer-gallery-julia-chong |

I recently had the pleasure to watch the second Cars movie created by the guys at Pixar and I’ve got to be honest.. It’s not as good as the first one. There was simply something missing, but I can’t put the finger on it.
Well, this time, the story no longer takes place in Radiator Springs as in the first movie. The plot takes the characters all over the World, to Tokyo and the French Riviera where Lightning McQueen has to race, among others, the champion Francesco Bernoulli, an Italian formula one car played by John Turturro.
So he’s mistaken for a real spy and now has to prevent the bad guys from sabotaging McQueen’s race. And he has all the secret gadgets at his disposal.
Of course, there is some drama, with McQueen getting mad at Mater and not understanding him, but that’s all in the past in the end when the world is saved and all is good.
What are the new toys based on the Cars 2 movie ?
The first toys that we can find are those based on the main characters, like Lightning McQueen and Mater. The’ve been the kids’ favorite and they haven’t changed much from the first Cars movie.
But there are also the new characters in the mix, like Finn McMissle, a british intelligence officer who help Mater in achieving the secret mission he’s got involved in. Another one is Holley Shiftwell, a purple beauty that Mater falls in love with.
The coolest of all, however, I believe is Siddeley the Spy Jet Transporter. This is the plane that takes Mater and the other spies throughout the world.
If you take a look below, you’ll find a box with all the Cars 2 toys on Amazon, with their prices. | 2019-04-21T08:17:10 | http://www.child-toys-guide.com/cars-2-movie-toys |
Candle fire kills two.kids.in lagos and destroys apartment - News of the People http://www.newsofthepeople-ng.com covers every facet of Nigerian Entertainment industry and the world. From News, Gossip, Comedy, Videos, Blogs, Events, Weddings, Nollywood, Celebs, Scoops and Games, we serve our readers up-to-date information on showbiz personalities, profiling celebrities and news around them.
Gloom enveloped Bola Oyewo Street, Ifako-Ijaiye, Lagos State, on Sunday after two siblings were killed in a fire incident.
The kids were identified simply as four-year-old Olawale Akingbesote and his brother, Adesire, aged 2.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the deceased, their elder brother and their mother were together around 9pm on Saturday.
It was gathered that the mother went out to buy some items in the neighbourhood after the children had gone to sleep.
She was said to have lit a candle to illuminate the apartment before leaving as there was power outage.
Our correspondent was told that while the mother was away, the candle burnt down and consumed a table it was placed on. It later spread to the clothes beside the table.
It was learnt that firefighters from the Lagos State Fire Service, officials of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency and policemen from the Iju Police Division responded to distress calls from residents, but the two kids had died before help could come their way.
The unnamed elder brother was, however, rescued with the support of the residents, while the fire was eventually put out.
A resident, Moshood Ibrahim, said the fire had spread to other parts of the room before a neighbour became aware and raised the alarm.
He stated that the distraught mother and the survivor had temporarily relocated to a relative’s house.
He said, “Their mother went out that evening to quickly get some items on the street, but she returned late. The candle had burnt to some level before she left home. Her thinking was that she would come back early.
An emergency official, who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity, said the survivor was rescued behind the apartment door.
“He should be about eight years old. He managed to force his way from the fire into the back of the door, where we rescued him,” he added.
The Director, Lagos State Fire Service, Mr. Rasaq Fadipe, confirmed the fire and the deaths.
He said, “When we arrived at the scene, fire was still on in the room where the kids lost their lives. The information we gathered was that the mother went out and the father was not around as well. The two kids were inside the room and the candle was alight. It was the candle that caused the inferno.
Fadipe stated that the agency also responded to fire incidents at a one-storeyed building on Wole Bamiduro Street in the Ahmadiyya area of the state, as well as a bungalow on Oseni Liadi Street, in the Okota area of the state.
“No casualty was recorded in the two incidents. We urge residents to discontinue the use of candles at homes. It is very delicate and has been consuming lives. There are rechargeable lamps and torches that are cheap and risk-free. | 2019-04-22T00:11:16 | http://www.newsofthepeople-ng.com/%E2%80%8Bcandle-fire-kills-two-kids-in-lagos-and-destroys-apartment/ |

Perhaps the most awaited season of the year after summer, spring is known to many people as the time when every part of nature throws off winter’s cold and starts growing afresh. New plants and flowers sprout up from the ground and animals make the first step out of their underground homes, ready to live on land again. In general, spring is the time to turn around and start again and that feeling tends to resonate well for both nature and human beings.
Spring cleaning is just one way through which humans illustrate that feeling, and it involves carrying out a general clean up of the home, throwing out unnecessary items and reorganising the property to start a new page. Many households have picked up on spring cleaning ever since it started years ago, and the practice only gets more popular by the passing day.
Look out for the clothes in your closet that you no longer want to wear or those you wore the least times in the previous year and donate them. If you know how you can also fix the old clothes you still like and adapt them to the current fashion trends. Do the same for your shoes too.
For the most part, it is better to buy new shoes if the old ones show signs of being in bad shape. Your family needs new things too, and you should involve every member in the clean out process to make it more fun. Unless it is really damaged or dangerous, do not just throw any article of clothing away. Someone else may be in need of it.
For most people, general house cleaning is the most boring and difficult part of the spring cleaning exercise. But with a little order and direction, it doesn’t have to be. To start, spread the furniture apart to thoroughly clean the areas under them Then pool the furniture together and clean out all the corners.
Review the lamps, furniture, glass, etc., in every room and inspect them for cracks and other damages. Go cleaning from room to room and don’t forget to dust the walls behind hanging ornaments and pictures. For stubborn stains, you can always check out cleaning companies or specialised how-to internet sites to get removal ideas.
Do not forget air conditioners and house plants; you’d be surprised how much dust accumulates on and under their leaves! And take the opportunity to renew some domestic items that are performing poorly and throw out those you may no longer like.
Apart from the dirt that accumulates in various corners of the bathroom over time, there is the added issue of old perfumes, make-up sets, and remedies that may be expired or whose empty containers may be poorly disposed of. Throw them out and get new supplies if you can. Do not forget the taps!
Cleaning bathroom mirrors must be done with care and no harsh chemicals. If chemicals get too close to the edge of your mirror, over time, they will seep in between the glass and the mirror backing. This will permanently damage your mirror, and give the appearance of green and black spots/speckles. As explained by Neatspiration.
The kitchen is bound to take the most work. It is the part of the house where grease and dirt accumulate most, courtesy of the items stored in it and the activities are done there. Empty all the cupboards and check that they still work correctly. You must also inspect the house artefacts for damages if you have any! What’s more, you can always do this with your family members to make it more enjoyable and less dreary.
The garage usually accumulates every item that is no longer in use around the house. That means there’s a large amount of stuff to sift through during cleaning and an equally large amount to throwing out. Most times, you will find items that you no longer need but are still in good shape. To create more space, you can hold a garage sale and generate some money in the process. If you intend to keep some of the items, you have to take all of them out and rearrange them into boxes with the appropriate labels for easier location in the future.
You might not accord them a thorough scrubbing because it takes a lot of time, but do give the windows and doors a general cleaning to do away with some of the dust that settles on them over time. Shop for and use only good cleaning products if you want excellent results. The kitchen windows deserve extra attention because they accumulate grease and even soot in some instances. Do not forget to clean the frames too; not much attention is paid to them during the year.
They are probably the last places one would think of cleaning but they are just as important. You should take this opportunity to clean the sofas and beds deeper to rid them of stains and excess dust. You will need different cleaning products depending on the material i.e. wood and metal require different cleaning material. You must remember to check below furniture for spiders and their webs.
After many months of usage, the mattresses and pillows in the house need aerating too. Shake them well to remove dust and mites. You can also reinforce vacuum cleaning to clear away the dust.
Everyone knows that both carpets and curtains collect dust almost every day, which warrants a thorough clean up. Remove both items from every room they are placed in and give them a good cleaning! While you may want to do the cleaning yourself, it is better to procure the services of specialised companies to avoid the risk of ruining whole pieces of carpets and curtains while trying to remove remaining spots. You can always use the money from the garage sale to buy new pieces of each if you prefer purchasing to cleaning up. It is a good idea to have sets of spare curtains to replace with when others are removed for cleaning.
This is another piece of hard work. For more effective clean up, you must take all the from books from the shelf before removing the dust and cleaning the library. This section of the house also requires that you use cleaning products according to the material in your library. In case you have corners in which you have placed books, you should thoroughly clean each corner before dusting each book.
If you have pets who share the house with you such as dogs, cats, birds etc., make it a point to clean the places where they sleep, their toys and clothes and everything else they might use. You can also renew any of their stuff. If you have birds, you should know that you expose your family to the risk of disease if everything is not kept clean. During this period, you should also take a visit to the vet to have the pets checked and treated for any diseases.
You might have liked all the ideas above and decided to implement them. The main advantage is that you will get to supervise every aspect of the cleaning and have it done the way you want. While it might also save you some money by doing it yourself, it is still a lot of hard work. So, if you’re not willing to tire yourself out, the alternative you have is to hire a cleaning company to do the work for you. There are many registered companies in this line of business that will leave your home spotless and fresh. For the record, they always know what they are doing.
Spring cleaning is and should be a fun, refreshing activity. It presents the opportunity to clean out your house’s corners with much more concentration than ever before. If you decide to try it out this coming spring, the tips above should be enough to get you started on your own. And while you’re at it, remember to keep mindful of your spending. You don’t have to buy everything a new! | 2019-04-22T13:28:23 | https://www.skipthetip.com/spring-cleaning-house/ |
Image caption Mr Ban has pledged to work as a "bridge-builder"
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has been re-elected to serve a second five-year term, in a vote at the UN General Assembly in New York.
Mr Ban, a former South Korean foreign minister, was the only candidate after the UN Security Council unanimously recommended his re-election.
Critics say he is too deferential to major powers, but he has won praise for his policies on climate change and the protests sweeping the Middle East.
He took over at the UN in 2007.
His second term will formally begin on 1 January 2012 and run until the end of 2016.
Mr Ban smiled and bowed to ambassadors and diplomats gathered at UN headquarters, who backed the reappointment through applause without a vote.
"In a complex, difficult international environment, you have strengthened the role and the visibility of the United Nations by adopting reform measures, launching exciting, innovative initiatives, and calling faithfully and constantly for respect for human rights, the rule of law and the other values rooted in our charter," UN General Assembly President Joseph Deiss told him.
When he announced his candidacy two weeks ago, Mr Ban pledged to keep leading the world body as a "bridge-builder" in a time of unprecedented global change.
He has referred to himself as a "harmoniser, balancer, mediator"
Correspondents say when Mr Ban was first elected, powerful nations in the Security Council seemed to want a low-profile leader after the schisms of the 2003 Iraq war.
However, his low-key approach has sometimes been criticised. He came under heavy attack from human rights activists for failing to take a public stand on the jailing of Chinese Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo.
More recently, he has spoken out in support of pro-democracy activists in the Middle East and North Africa.
He has also taken a strong stand on climate change. | 2019-04-23T07:29:03 | https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-13868655 |

It's nothing about the height for me, the building design is awful and they should be incorporating the old factory walls into the development.
What I have heard is the developer wanted to keep the existing structure/walls but it was the govt architects wanted it demolished/removed for this new development.
Now that's unheard of. A developer wanting to retain heritage, even though it's not mandatory to do so.
12 levels is exactly what is needed here. I'm not a fan of the design either, but this is about a prime example as you can get of a strategic infill development site, adjacent a key transport corridor, on a key arterial road, in a key location within close proximity to the CBD. It ticks all the right boxes for the sort of targeted inner metropolitan infill development that Adelaide so sorely needs.
To reject it is madness. They should have simply deferred it and asked for modifications to the design and then approve it.
I remember reading this in earlier discussions, and if true it makes the decision to reject the application partially based on the existing character even more absurd.
There's a bit more to the story. Here are the minutes from the meeting.
1. That the proposed development is NOT seriously at variance with the policies in the Development Plan.
The development would result in poor residential amenity for the apartments in terms of distances from a single lift core and communal open space to some apartments being excessive, contrary to the intent of Objectives 2 and 4 of the Development Plan’s General Section – Medium and High Rise Development (3 or More Storeys) policy.
The development plan is a plan developed by the council, government and the community. If the negotiated outcome was for an 8 storey limit, then it needs to be respected. There are more stakeholders here than just the council, state government and the developers.
Additionally, height was not the only factor here, just the one that grabs the headlines. The decision needs to be judged as a whole on all points, not just one.
The article stated that this had been deferred last year, but the the developer chose not to address the major concerns the panel had expressed. Hence they refused. Blame's kinda on the developer then.
Personally I think the height is fine, but if they're going to go higher than the development plan allows there has to be a trade off with outstanding design or amenity. This proposal clearly had neither.
This is exactly what SHOULD be permitted on a very wide arterial road with a tram line right outside!
Would you live in it? I sure wouldn't. Fronting 6 lanes of traffic and its noise... no thanks. Look straight up and the planes are almost skimming your head. Usually you trade in the luxury of a suburban home for the convenience of apartment living. But this location... you have to get in your car just to do a basic grocery shop. The amenity of the area... well, there's the parkland on one side, but you're in the middle of an industrial estate on the other. As a kid I used to love breathing in the brewery air as I drove up Port Rd on the way to school. That smell would get pretty old living 10 floors up and sucking that air in like you're punching a beer dart.
Won't lose sleep over this at all.
So would you rule out all residential development along this stretch then? This site, the Coca Cola site, the Thebarton Campus site? If not residential then what?
With regards to grocery shopping, bear in mind that this development would be one tram stop away from the IGA at Bowden and a 10 minute ride away from Woolies, Coles and soon Foodland on Rundle Mall. Developments like this are perfect for a lifestyle with a low reliance on cars. A couple does not need a car to do a weekly grocery shop - the other half and I have always walked to the supermarket and have no problems carrying a week's food home between us. In Europe that's just how many city dwellers live - I didn't have a car in the UK for about 6 years and it didn't bother me at all (I know you can't do that just anywhere in metropolitan Adelaide but in this location it would be entirely possible, depending on your lifestyle - work location etc).
If I were back in my twenties and childless I'd definitely consider living here - the Wheaty is right round the corner, parklands just over the road, tram stop literally on the doorstep, Plant 4 at Bowden and the Gov are a 3 minute tram ride away, the City is 5-10 minutes away by tram or 5 minutes by bike, Glenelg a 40 minute tram ride away from the front door. There's a lot going for this location. If they insulate well against the traffic and aircraft noise then there should be no problems here.
Plus - interrupted views of both the city skyline and parklands, which will never be built over. Another major advantage.
It's smack bang opposite a tram stop. I'd live there in a heartbeat.
When cities look to invest and grow there's this tendency to view industrial land as an obvious first choice for redevelopment. But in reality cities can't be beautiful villages everywhere. They need industry. I don't think that strip along Port Rd is particularly desirable for residential development and should probably remain zoned as it is. I grew up in the area and never saw this massive shortfall of demand that urgently needed filling with 3 residential towers. Adelaide's growth is still slow enough that the governments need to ration growth among targeted areas to achieve some semblance of viability to those regeneration projects. If something like this pops up in random locations like Thebarton then that's a few hundred more dwellings of supply dragging down Bowden, the Port, the city centre revival et al.
It does have its benefits in the proximity to the tram line, but that's not to say it makes it a good spot to live. It's equally reflective that the tram line goes through areas which aren't particularly suitable. Not knocking the tram extension though, as its destination is logical and there has to be track in between point A and B, so if it runs by a few factories then that's just how it played out.
Skyshow would be nuts in one of those apartments though.
Hop in a car for a grocery shop? There’s a reasonably decent Foodland a short walk away on George St.
Each to their own on that one. 400m is convenient walking distance. That narrows down to about 4m if you have 8 shopping bags for the weekly shop.
Each to their own indeed, when I was living in a small apartment in country NSW I was happy to walk 1km to the supermarket and back to get groceries for 2-3 days. Also reduced a lot of food waste.
This really is a case of each to their own as, like I said above, if I were a first time buyer in my twenties - either single or in a couple - I would absolutely consider this development because of its location and I am sure I'm not alone here.
I think in Adelaide there's a tendency to view all new developments from the perspective of traditional family units who need to buy a house that will last them the next 10-15 years with outdoor space, room for a couple of cars etc but as house prices increase we're moving closer to the European (and interstate) model of first time buyers moving into a smaller apartment for a few years before moving the next step up the ladder into a house. Buyers in that bracket are often more interested in local amenity and connectivity than whether or not they're living next to an arterial road. This site checks an awful lot of boxes - close to the city, the pubs (including a micro brewery on the ground floor), the tram, the parklands (including the linear park to Henley Beach). I know a few people who lived in town houses around the Bowden area through their twenties - they worked in the city, very rarely used their cars and absolutely loved it. If the price is right for these apartments then I can see them being very popular indeed.
Plus, let's not forget that Thebarton already has a sizable residential community - it's not as if these will be the first residents in the area by any stretch of the imagination. In the medium-term when the Coca Cola site and Thebarton campus are redeveloped (one or both of which I am sure will include a supermarket as well as other amenities) then I can see this being a very attractive area for first time buyers and downsizers to live.
Also, I think we've really got to move on from the mentality that everyone needs to use a car to visit the supermarket. Across Europe (and most likely in Sydney and Melbourne) the trend has been to move from a large weekly shop towards convenience shopping two or three times a week. We will follow eventually, especially when/if trading hours are deregulated. I walk 500m to Coles a couple of times a week to pick up our shopping, it's literally just around the corner - 750m would be easy, 1km would probably be the limit on 30 degree plus days but fine at other times. If you lived here and wanted to do a big shop you could hop on the tram to the new Gawler Place stop - a 10 minute trip each way with trams running every 10-15 minutes and it's a 200m walk from the tram stop to the supermarket. Plus, the likelihood is that whoever lives here will work in the city and be able to visit the supermarket on their way home and then take a tram right to their front door. Sounds pretty peachy to me.
There's a Foodland around the corner about a 1km away. | 2019-04-23T10:00:42 | http://sensational-adelaide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=166745& |

Home / Blog / Will Eating Eggs Kill You?
Will Eating Eggs Kill You?
For decades it was believed that eating eggs and other foods high in dietary cholesterol will clog your arteries and increase the risk of heart disease. Initially maligned as harmful, in 2013, the American Heart Association did admit that dietary cholesterol found in eggs and shellfish was “no longer a nutrient of concern.” This came on the heels of studies showing no associative risk with increased egg consumption.
The many years of research that failed to show a relationship between the amount of dietary cholesterol and the risk of heart disease, resulted in the U.S. finally removing any restriction on dietary cholesterol from its nutrition guidelines in 2016.
Yet, that hasn’t stopped the debate!
The Paleo diet has always emphasized the importance of naturally occurring, well-sourced fats as a healthy and necessary component of your diet. Nevertheless, you may have been surprised to see a recent batch of headlines once again claiming that eating too many eggs (and too much of the cholesterol they contain) increases the risk of cardiovascular events and early death.
With proclamations like those, it is no wonder people may be confused and possibly even concerned.
Delving a little deeper, the reality and findings of the study are a lot less exciting.
Eggs are nutrient powerhouses containing protein, lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamins A, D, E, B12, folate, choline, zinc, and iron.
Eggs have been vilified in the past due to their cholesterol content, which is between 200 mg - 300mg per egg. Studies have shown that dietary cholesterol has little effect on blood cholesterol except in the few people referred to as hyper responders. Most people can tolerate eggs and dietary cholesterol well.
In fact, cholesterol is essential. It is used to produce vitamin D and hormones including estrogen and testosterone. Cholesterol is part of your cell membranes and forms a large portion of your brain.
Most of what makes blood cholesterol rise is a combination of lifestyle factors and genetics. A diet high in sugars, processed grains and man-made trans-fat can affect your cholesterol levels along with smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, age, and diabetes.
The Paleo diet has always recommended well-sourced egg consumption for those who can tolerate them, and this is not about to change.
The study authors collected the data of just under 30,000 people over 17.5 years. These people were interviewed once about their diets, at the beginning of the study. By the end of the study, predictably, a number of people had developed heart disease. Some had died.
Researchers found that the participants who ate 2 eggs a day had a 27% higher risk of developing heart disease. Every 300mg of cholesterol a day added another 2.24% of having a cardiovascular event and a 4.43% risk of dying from a cardiovascular event.
While these numbers may seem ominous, a little further inspection reveals a few holes in this data.
This means that while it can draw associations between two things, in this case egg intake and cardiovascular risk, it cannot prove causation. That means that while these two things may be related in some way, there’s no real proof that they are, so this is more of an educated guess about their relationship.
The interviews took place 17.5 years before the study conclusions were drawn. My diet has changed a lot in 17.5 years, and theirs may have as well. Aside from that, the study failed to control for the remainder of their diet. Even if the participants ate eggs every single day of those 17.5 years, the study ignored what else they ate. Proponents of the Paleo diet place a huge emphasis on type and quality of the food you consume and research supports the importance of this.
It is relatively safe to assume that these people did not eat only eggs for all that time, so what else were they eating? Their diets could have been full of trans fat-heavy, ultra-processed foods, alongside their eggs.
Nutrition studies and food questionnaires are fundamentally flawed.
There is an innate bias and people tend not to report what they think is bad or unhealthy and they are more likely to downplay having eaten it. People also tend to over report the food they think is good. Few people actually measure their portion sizes and often can't remember how much they ate.
During the time this study was conducted, eggs were considered bad. Nutrition guidelines advised against eating eggs (especially the yolks) to avoid cholesterol. People who were eating eggs were likely people who were not otherwise health conscious. Maybe they were smokers, did not follow dietary guidelines, or avoided eating fruits and vegetables. These factors could have also played a role in their heart disease.
This in no way means that only the eggs caused the heart disease.
While the study controlled for some lifestyle factors like activity level, smoking, and alcohol use, it didn’t look at others, such as socioeconomic status, and stress levels, which can have a further impact on heart attack risk.
Controlled egg-feeding studies have shown that eating eggs does not affect blood cholesterol levels for 75 percent of people. In the other 25 percent, eating eggs modestly increases both LDL and HDL cholesterol and still does not increase the risk of heart disease.
Pete’s Paleo is now serving breakfast!!!! Chef prepared, delicious and delivered right to your door – no apron required!!!
Drilling your diet down to individual foods and nutrients is pointless. If you eat a well-varied, balanced, whole-foods based diet (the Paleo diet template), you’ll be FINE. And although this may not seem headline worthy, your options and choices are far from boring.
Avoid letting sensationalized nutrition headlines bother or scare you. Correlation does not equal causation, and a study that failed to control for diet over 17 years is telling you very little about how eggs affect health.
Blood cholesterol is affected by many things including sugars, processed grains, manufactured fake foods and trans fats, smoking, diabetes, obesity, and age. Most people can tolerate dietary cholesterol well without significant effects to their blood cholesterol. If your cholesterol is high and you suspect the culprit might be your diet, try removing the refined carbohydrates, increasing fiber, and adding healthy, naturally occurring fats like avocado, butter, coconut oil, fatty fish and olive oil to your diet. This Paleo diet and lifestyle approach will support your long term health and wellness goals. | 2019-04-24T12:24:12 | https://www.petespaleo.com/blogs/blog/will-eating-eggs-kill-you |

South Adelaide is pleased to reveal the recruitment of Anthony Biemans to Noarlunga for season 2018.
Biemans joins the Panthers after four seasons as a SANFL contracted player with the Port Adelaide Magpies, which saw him play 46 games and kick 26 goals in the black and white.
A hard-bodied, in-and-under midfielder (178cm/82kg), Biemans will be a welcome addition to South's on ball brigade.
Prior to his time with the Magpies, Biemans won four premierships with South Barwon in the Geelong Football League and enjoyed stints with Geelong in the VFL and TAC Cup.
Biemo is on board...are you? | 2019-04-22T20:59:18 | https://www.safc.com.au/blog/biemans-to-don-blue-and-white-in-2018 |
Apple has announced the AirPower Wireless Charging Mat is officially cancelled.
“After much effort, we’ve concluded AirPower will not achieve our high standards and we have cancelled the project. We apologize to those customers who were looking forward to this launch. We continue to believe that the future is wireless and are committed to push the wireless experience forward," said Dan Riccio, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering in a statement provided to TechCrunch .
So far I’m leaning towards this.
Now it doesn’t charge the Watch wirelessly, but with certain bands like the Milanese Loop, Sport Loop and Link Bracelet, you cant actually put them down on a charging mat without removing the band anyways.
I saw that Nomad one on YouTube and it looks nice. It’s actually the only one I’ve seen out there.
Is that official? I mean - honest to god - Apple announced a product, then said - Ahh, not doing it?
Apple has canceled plans to release its AirPower charging mat, the company told Business Insider in a statement on Friday.TechCrunch first reported the news.
I wasn’t hanging out waiting for Apple’s wireless charging offering - we only own 2 devices capable of using it, and 1 lives in a magnetised case, so can’t use one anyways. My $35 option from Woolies is working fine.
Surely they could have put something together and released that? Even if it wasn’t what they were talking about earlier?
Why not a shaped pad with three charging points using the pop up piece from their charger (which is expensive but ‘just works’).
A custom recessed slot for AirPods along side a large pad for the phone.
Sure it wouldn’t be the put anything anywhere design they were originally promising, but it would suit their own three products that can be charged wirelessly.
Not to mention the money wasted on buying a specialist wireless charging company some time ago. Other companies have made perfectly functional wireless charging pads for several years now so why on earth can’t Apple?
Indeed! As mentioned above - even if it wasn’t exactly what they had previously shown - just - something!
The world’s biggest tech company is removing ports and moving everything towards wireless charging, but they can’t build a charging mat.
Bad enough to ever announce it was in development. Worse to have not released anything 15 months later. Ridiculous to cancel the project 18 months later.
Maybe they should just cancel the AirPods and put a headphone jack back into everything.
they can’t build a charging mat.
No, they couldn’t build the charging mat they were aiming for to the standard they were aiming for in this project. Who knows, they may reset expectations and try again, or they might just stock a larger range of third party chargers that already fill that void (see above).
That would be great (although it won’t ever happen) as I can never find the silly little lightening to 3.5mm adapter that came with the phone (have no idea where it has vanished to and will get around to replacing it one day perhaps) and I’m not replacing perfectly good wired headphones with bluetooth ones - mainly because a good set of bluetooth headphones that would be as good as my wired Sennheisers would cost me $300-400 which I simply can’t justify.

While I’m using Bluetooth at the moment if I had to/chose to go back to hard wired I would heatshrink the adaptor to my headphones. Yes it means I can’t use them with anything else without carefully cutting the heatshrink off, but then I don’t use anything else anyway so it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

We rented a place on the west side of Honeoye in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately the house has limited parking and no place to store our boat trailer for the week. Was going to utilize the state launch but there's no overnight parking. Trident stated for $25 I could park it at there storage facility which seems like what I'll do. Anyone have any concerns or other options besides what I came up with? Thanks in advance!
Walleye this weekend Looking for some eye action this weekend. Conesus or honeoye? My first trip ever to the finger lakes. Which is the better choice of the two?
Seems they have shut down the beach @ Sandy Bottom for my kids' swimming lessons due to the Blue-Green Algae again. The management of this lake is sad. My bad - I was given partially correct information. There IS an algae problem that caused the swimming beach to close, and the DOH is checking for the Blue-Green.
Honeoye Any good times at Honeoye recently?
Hey there, going to honeoye tom, was wondering where and what to try and get a few eyes? Any help please? | 2019-04-20T22:25:53 | https://www.lakeontariounited.com/fishing-hunting/search/?type=forums_topic&nodes=8&tags=Honeoye |
I fully admit that there is a not uncommon craze for trichotomies. I do not know but the psychiatrists have provided a name for it. If not, they should. “Trichimania,” [?] unfortunately, happens to be preëmpted for a totally different passion; but it might be called triadomany. I am not so afflicted; but I find myself obliged, for truth’s sake, to make such a large number of trichotomies that I could not [but] wonder if my readers, especially those of them who are in the way of knowing how common the malady is, should suspect, or even opine, that I am a victim of it.

For the past 10+ years, I’ve been the girl that usually goes with all white bed linens or soft solid colors. However, I’ve recently started to step put of my comforters comfort zone and explore different colors, prints, and textures. Actually, this is long overdue, because every adult woman should have a fabulous collections of beautiful bedding options. Well, that’s what I’ve been telling myself every time I wander upon some lovely high thread count Egyptian cotton or linen bedding that costs almost half of my paycheck.
Although I feel like I’ve been pinning a lot of bedding inspo, there have only been a few that have totally taken my heart. I shared a couple of them below.
When I first moved into my first place many years ago, I was more concerned on having my own place than I was about having stuff in it. From I recall, I think the only thing I had in my first apartment was my bed, which was super comfy. I think I also had an entertainment center that just gave my age away, because I don’t believe entertainment centers are still a thing. However, like most people, I slowly but surely added other pieces. Within the first 6 months, I got a small tan sofa/chaise hybrid, pub style dining room set, and other pieces. At the time, I thought it was smart to go with basic pieces in contemporary style, which I thought was my style. In hindsight, I was playing it safe for no reason and cringe at those choices.
Don’t get me wrong, I would get compliments on my space all the time, but probably due to it looking like a staged home. I guess all those Saturday morning watching HGTV paid off. Now that I’m older, I realize that I should have been investing staple pieces that I love and design around. So, keep reading to see what 3 items I should’ve invested in for my first place.
There are so many elements to take in consideration when we’re trying to style our home. There are the foundational pieces, such as sofas, tables, and beds. However, my favorite part is the decorative items, such as pillows, plants, and wall decor. For the past couple of months, I’ve been obsessing over finding wall decor that not only fit my style, but my budget. Ugh, I could either find artwork that fit my style, but not my budget and vice versa. However, I eventually found some inexpensive wall art that fit both.
Keep reading to see fabulous and affordable ways to add some wall art to your spaces. | 2019-04-26T02:18:26 | http://stainedcouture.com/category/lifestyle/home-life/page/2/ |

To get help finding a drug rehab in Dale, just call us today at our toll-free helpline.
Recovery from drug and alcohol addiction can be truly difficult, especially if you try to do it without the assistance of a professional. All the same, it all starts with the first steps.
Often, substance abuse occurs simultaneously with emotional issues or trauma. To be truly effective, substance abuse recovery calls for major changes in style of living and outlook. Drug or alcohol abuse is a debilitating problem that transforms the mind and the body. Therefore, our specialists must deal with both elements of the situation.
There are 30 day long programs, but the majority of them last considerably longer. 6 or 7 month alcohol and drug rehab programs tend to have the best track record for success. Drug and/or alcohol dependency rehabilitation is often thought of as a 30-day long treatment. Some rehabs are for five to six months.
Mastering the best guidelines, life practices, and skills like inter-personal relationship skills, how to manage tension and stress in a wholesome way, and how to establish healthy boundaries with family and friends, will tremendously improve the likelihood of sustained rehabilitation with minimal relapses.
Our experts will instruct you in these (plus more) very practical skills so we can offer the best prospects for a successful recovery.
To handle the issues you face, we'll be here equipping you with the most effective action steps and methods during your rehabilitation period. Take a necessary phase giving us a call today. We can offer you a real path to recovery. We would love to discuss your personal needs and create a plan for your recovery. Our experts address drug or alcohol abuse providing the most cutting-edge alcohol and/or drug dependency rehab programs.
What's commonly very important to have an enduring recovery is to assist their patients to thoroughly transform their life. This is why more all-encompassing drug and alcohol addiction rehabilitation facilities promote change on a deeper level. We certainly recommend you to seize the opportunity if you are able to go to a longer term alcohol and/or drug rehabilitation, since there are many that can't since they just are not in a position to do so. What's frequently found in enduring drugs and alcohol rehabs are: rehabilitation at the facility, continued recovery at home, rehab at home, and detoxifying thoroughly with clinical supervision. The evidence demonstrates that comprehensive treatment programs work the best. | 2019-04-22T00:40:31 | https://caredrugrehabilitation.com/indiana/dale.php |
Waste and wastes are unwanted or unusable materials. Waste is any substance which is discarded after primary use, or it is worthless, defective and of no use.
The term is often subjective (because waste to one person is not necessarily waste to another) and sometimes objectively inaccurate (for example, to send scrap metals to a landfill is to inaccurately classify them as waste, because they are recyclable). Examples include municipal solid waste (household trash/refuse), hazardous waste, wastewater (such as sewage, which contains bodily wastes (feces and urine) and surface runoff), radioactive waste, and others.
Under the Waste Framework Directive, the European Union defines waste as "an object the holder discards, intends to discard or is required to discard."
Waste is a play by the English author Harley Granville Barker. It exists in two wholly different versions, from 1906 and 1927. The first version was refused a license by the Lord Chamberlain and had to be performed privately by the Stage Society in 1907; the second was finally staged in public at the Westminster Theatre in 1936.
The plot centres around ambitious independent politician Henry Trebell, his plans for a bill to disestablish the Church of England and his fall from grace and suicide after his affair with married woman Amy O'Connell, who dies after a botched abortion. The title may refer to the waste of his potential talents due to the scandal, the loss of the disestablishment bill and the termination of Amy's pregnancy.
Waste is unwanted or undesired material.
Metabolic waste is any unwanted substances that are expelled from living organisms.
"Waste", a song from the album Billy Breathes by the rock band Phish.

What is Mississippi State getting in new baseball coach Chris Lemonis?
What is Mississippi State getting in Chris Lemonis? Let's talk about it.
With the news that Mississippi State has hired Indiana's Chris Lemonis to be its new baseball coach, Clarion Ledger sports editor Hugh Kellenberger and Indianapolis Star IU insider Zach Osterman had an email conversation about the hire and what it means for both schools.
Hugh Kellenberger: "OK Zach, Indiana baseball coach Chris Lemonis is now the head coach at Mississippi State. I guess we should start with the basic, obvious question that most MSU fans are asking themselves today: Is this a good hire?"
Zach Osterman: "I think it is. Having grown up in SEC country (Y'all need to get more Publix in that state), I'm well aware of expectations at a place like Mississippi State. And while I know Lemonis doesn't necessarily have every resume trimming you'd want, he's a proven recruiter, a college baseball lifer and a guy who in four years at Indiana did things nobody else has done in the history of IU's oldest varsity program. His teams are balanced and deep, and in all four seasons, I covered him, the best way I could describe his style is that he brings a high floor virtually every year. Will his ceiling raise with time and the advantages of a Mississippi State? Obviously, I can't tell you that for sure. But I think there's every chance."
Kellenberger: "That's I think the biggest question right now with Mississippi State: what is the ceiling? So Lemonis did a nice job taking the baton from Tracy Smith at Indiana and he had some success, including three regionals in four years. That's all very nice. But success at Mississippi State is not judged by trips to the regionals. It's super regionals and trips to Omaha. Lemonis has been to Omaha, albeit as an assistant at Louisville. So he knows what it takes to get there. But what do you think he has to do differently than he did at Indiana in order to unlock that higher ceiling? Or is it simply a matter of when you load the bus with better players, you're going to get better results?"
Osterman: "I tend to think it's probably more the latter. Most casual college baseball fans (for understandable reasons) don't realize all the obstacles Big Ten programs face — weather, scheduling, recruiting base, prestige, restrictive recruiting rules. The conference has at least invested more in recent years, and loosening a few things up, but look at it this way: Since 2013, Indiana has made five NCAA regionals in six seasons, and one College World Series. Of those five regionals, the three Lemonis landed represent the program's three at-large berths ever. No Big Ten team since Ohio State in the mid-1990s has been in the tournament as often, and IU's World Series appearance (pre-Lemonis, I know) was the conference's first in 29 years. The point is, as much as IU baseball has improved — and it undoubtedly has — sustaining that level of success at a Big Ten program is a generational accomplishment. If you told me 36 wins a year would become 47 wins a year with the talent and advantages of a top-tier SEC program, I'd believe you. There are clear areas for Lemonis to improve. But he's done more here than a lot of folks probably realize."
Kellenberger: "So let's talk about the recruiting because that's probably one of the biggest reasons why national baseball writers are liking this hire: Lemonis' reputation is that he's excellent at it, first at Louisville and then at Indiana. But there are two very different kinds of recruiting I think, especially in college baseball where you could have a very nice recruiting ranking that means very little when your whole class just used you as leverage with MLB teams and never show up on campus. So can you point to any players in Lemonis' past that are either A) Guys that he shouldn't have gotten in the first place but did, either because he kept them from blue bloods or the MLB Draft and B) Players that he "discovered," for lack of a better word, and have developed into key contributors for Indiana."
Osterman: "Yea, this is a tougher one for me to judge, because there are so many layers to college baseball recruiting. When I say his teams always had high floors, that came first from solid recruiting. His staffs were deep, whether they had a true ace or not. His lineups never fell off after the four or five guy. IU admittedly sometimes lacked some of the star power of the Tracy Smith era (was there ever a Schwarber or a Travis or a Phegley?) but his teams were always, always deep. He also had some bad luck with committing guys early who took huge leaps late, and looked like the kinds of talents that would get drafted but then thrive in college, before they wound up going higher or getting greater slot money than anyone expected.
"He's still hit on a combination of good local recruiting -- many of Indiana's best players are either in state or regional, Illinois and Ohio -- and smart junior college additions to fill gaps created by unexpected attrition. Lemonis' reputation, as you said, precedes him as a recruiter. He'll emphasize local ties as much as possible. He's 100 percent the guy that will go to every tournament, watch every game, work 14-hour days. And like Dan McDonnell at Louisville, he'll happily commit a kid young (although he's not exclusive to that policy)."
Kellenberger: "Alright, last question: Where do you think Indiana goes from here? Mississippi State athletic director John Cohen made it quite clear he was going big-game hunting when he began his search, and it ended up with TCU's Jim Schlossnagle and Louisville's Dan McDonnell both publicly saying they were staying where they were and not going to Mississippi State. Part of Cohen's problem in the pursuit of those guys, I think, was that those guys just don't leave where they are. College baseball is a sport where coaches are much more apt to go to a place, build it up and then stay for the long-term. And now that salaries have risen to the point where generational wealth is at play, there's even less reason to jump into the unknown. So, from that perspective, MSU hiring someone who has been to Omaha as an assistant and has won a lot of games at the best school in a not-great baseball conference makes sense. And if Cohen got this right, then maybe Lemonis is that guy who stays 15-20 years. But if you're Indiana, what's your move? I would guess Fred Glass would want his own McDonnell, but that's easier said than done. Do any of the assistants have a chance at the gig? Does Glass look to the mid-majors for someone else on the rise and hope for the best?"
Osterman: "That's an interesting question without a clear answer right now. Indiana is in this weird place where it's paying better than just about the rest of the Big Ten, and its facilities are really good, but it's still a clear step or two below say, Mississippi State in resources. Again, IU's having a generational level of success right now. If Glass, IU's AD, wants that to continue, he could easily justify taking that spending up another level and trying to get a home-run hire. Or he could do what Indiana's done the last two times the job came open: stick with someone young, up-and-coming and in the Midwest. Jeff Mercer at Wright State sort of straddles those two possibilities. Either way, I think Indiana will look external before considering the existing staff, and I think Glass will probably step up his financial commitment again. There's an argument to be made for IU basically just bridging the financial gap, paying high six figures (or more) for a head coach and making it harder for this to happen again. I think Glass would probably prefer this be his last baseball hire." | 2019-04-23T06:04:49 | https://www.clarionledger.com/story/sports/college/mississippi-state/2018/06/25/what-mississippi-state-getting-new-baseball-coach-chris-lemonis-indiana-hoosiers-ncaa-college/730043002/ |

ASA said its women’s 4x400m relay team had been invited to compete.
The federation first said three athletes were added to the world championship squad of 23‚ and then in the afternoon upped that to four when Zoe Engler was named alongside Justine Palframan‚ Gena Lofstrand and Ariane Nel.
They will team up with Semenya and 400m hurdler Wenda Nel for the relay.
Of the remaining 20 athletes‚ ASA had picked only five on discretion‚ although that increases to six with the addition Palframan‚ who will now get to compete in the 200m after all.
Appeals by the other excluded athletes failed.
What is it about South African sports administrators that they like to cut the number of athletes who represent the country abroad?
She will get two fulls days off before the 800m heats on August 10‚ with the semifinals the following day and the final on August 13.
Semenya is ranked No1 in the world in the 800m‚ and her 4min 01.99sec 1500m personal best from last year ranked her 14th in 2016. However‚ that time would have earned her gold at the Rio Olympics. | 2019-04-23T04:15:47 | https://www.timeslive.co.za/sport/2017-07-25-semenya-to-do-1500m-and-800m-double-at-the-world-champs/ |
When someone first falls ill our automatic response is to think ‘there should be someone to help with this’ but increasingly, as cuts hollow out social protections – regardless of whether they are provided by the private, public or voluntary sector – people are finding that the help that every thought should be there just isn’t.
People with long term mental health difficulties are some of the most vulnerable in society. And we hate it. We hate feeling that so much of our life depends on policy made in Whitehall or discussed in No. 10. We can’t pull off a magic trick and become not-unwell.
Even when we’re doing well it’s often because we’re getting the right help. That isn’t an argument for the removal of that help; it’s an argument for its continuation. The Liberal Democrats in coalition tried to lay a legacy of mental health change during the last Parliament. Some treated that with cynicism, but I’ve not reason to think it wasn’t heartfelt. Whether that sticks or not is based on whether our new government cares enough about mental health to do the one thing that government can do apart from trying to pass laws. It depends on whether they are prepared to spend money. It’s easy to look like savings are being made if you find ways of shifting costs off the balance sheet. It’s always possible to shift the costs of not investing in mental health off the balance sheet; to say that it’s individuals fault for not getting better, not making the best of what is on offer.
If the scale of cuts suggested is to put into action; the human cost of those cuts aren’t collateral damage. The human costs of those cuts are the core business of any government: the duty to protect its citizens or subjects. And for many who feel close to those cuts, the prevailing wind is bringing not a warm breeze of spring but a harsh chill of a never-ending winter. | 2019-04-20T22:42:38 | http://thenewmentalhealth.org/?p=162&share=email |
EnerNoc has bought Cogent Energy, a company that provides energy efficiency and building control systems, as part of a plan to become a more comprehensive company.
Cogent provides monitoring based conditioning. What? Commissioning involves setting the systems in the building to provide comfort to the occupants and conserve energy. When everyone leaves or the temperature makes an unseasonal swing, commissioning ensures that the heater or air conditioner will do what it is supposed to do. Unfortunately, most buildings don't sport dynamic conditioning. Often, buildings follow the set-it-and-forget-it rule, which leads to situations where the heater and the air conditioner are on at the same time. Commercial buildings consume about 20 percent of the energy in the U.S. and a lot of it gets wasted.
Commissioning tools like Cogent offers provides autonomic and automatic updating. Data gathered from these systems can also be sliced and mined to further optimize systems. Cogent has more than 200 clients, including the University of California system. EnerNoc actually has some tools developed in house for commissioning, but the purchase clearly accelerates the push.
For EnerNoc, the acquisition is sort of like a door-to-door salesman sticking his foot in the door and worming his way into the living room. The company currently primarily earns its revenue from demand response services. Utilities pay it to curb power at industrial sites and large buildings to save energy, often in peak power situations. The utility pays for the service and the building owners and companies get lower power bills. The company recently reported a $26.6 million quarterly profit, its first since going public in 2007. The company manages over 3.1 gigawatts, about the size of a regional utility in some parts of the country.
In the past year, the focus has been figuring out ways to expand that fooprint. In June, it bought eQuilibrium Solutions, a carbon accounting company. Google, among others, is also expected to move into energy management. | 2019-04-21T20:14:47 | https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/enernoc-delves-deeper-into-building-management-with-acquisition |

We seem to have surpassed ourselves this year, with the Christmas letter being started in mid January and completed in February. Many thanks to all of you who wrote at Christmas and during the year - we really appreciate the letters, and managed to reply to at least some of you this year.
Ian turned two in March, but he had been practising for the terribles for some time so it didn't make much difference. A typical morning conversation: "What are we doing today?" "Alan and Philip are going to school, and you are going to Janette's house." (Janette = wonderful childminder.) "My not want go Nette's house, my want go Katy's house." "Tough." At bedtime: "What do you want to say thank you to Jesus for?" "Tank you I could go to Nette's house." At the turn of the year, his middle brother was "Fiship". By his birthday last March this had progressed to "Fibip", and there we remain. However, don't think he can't talk well! Just some words are individual to him. He can do anything his brothers can do, and when the three of them fight he often ends up on top. If anything, his brothers need protecting from him. He has just started dancing lessons, which he loves! He tried a few months ago but was deemed too disruptive... He starts at the church nursery after half-term and has already made several visits. "It was a bit boring," he told one friend (when he had to stay at a table), and "They told me off!" (for jumping in puddles). He now has two friends, Timo(Seals) and Katie (Pryde), and is still inseparable from Clownie, the favourite of his 'cuddlies'.
Philip was five in December, so he started big school this Autumn. He had been asking about words on the cornflakes packets and other places, but we were quite taken aback when, in his first week at school, he brought home a book and read it to us. We are enjoying the Oxford Reading Tree the second time round, and have just discovered the Magic Key again. The suspense is nearly unbearable. He has to go to an older class to get his books now. One teacher - not his regular - wondered why he was not making eye contact with him in a one-to-one setting, then realised he was reading the notes on her lap upside-down. (She did not know he could read at all!) Asked "How come you're so clever?" he replied "I don't know, I just am. I am sneaky like that!"
Alan turned seven in July and changed schools in September. He could have stayed on at Westborough with Philip, but he would have been in the first year to go right through to eleven, and we thought he would benefit more by being stretched by older pupils around him. He now goes to St Joseph's, a Catholic Junior school, and according to the teacher is fitting in well, popular, and organising the kids around him. Don't tell anyone, but he is currently organising a ring of Secret Agents. His reading is also progressing well, and in the first term exhausted the reading scheme books in his class (wonder where he gets that from?) and is the only one in his class allowed to choose books 'belonging' to older years. He managed to swim ten metres over the summer, and has not set foot in the water since. Been there, done that, read the book. Alan tried dancing briefly last year, but dropped that and is now going to a fortnightly drama group. He enjoys the games and some other aspects, but is not at all interested in performing - not if it means doing as he is told rather than just what he feels like. He has just taken up the recorder and after a long struggle finally seems to be getting the hang of it. He started Beavers in September and thinks it is wonderful!
Our regular weekly activities remain very much the same: apart from Church and Housegroup together, Paul tries to play Go on Monday evenings and swim on two mornings. He has also started going to a lunchtime prayer group in Woking. Sue goes to Keep Fit (which some unkind persons have suggested is a slight misnomer) on Thursday evenings, and claims it does her good despite the aches afterwards.
Apart from the above, we are both involved in the new/revitalised church Building Committee - the Hall and Hut are in desperate need of replacement. Sue continues on the Management Committee and Endowment Fund Committee, and is currently setting up an after-school club (i.e., business) for children at Westborough and other local schools. Paul is Secretary to the Open Air Campaigners in France and Europe Now Committees (recently merged), and Treasurer to the Mission Board and the new Building Fund. He has started teaching the oldest Junior Church group, theoretically on alternate months. There is also a lot of work because our Minister is due to retire in June, and lots of preparations to make before then to ensure the Church keeps functioning. And we are trying to spend one evening a month simply enjoying ourselves - dangerous, eh?
January: got up early on New Year's Day to say "Bon voyage" to the Kemp family who were setting off to France for language training with a view to Christian work there. Celebrated Paul's father's 60th birthday with a meal out with his parents and brother, and then with them joined all Sue's clan (parents, uncle, 5 children + spouses, 5 grandchildren, a couple of friends...) a week later to exchange Christmas presents. Later in January Paul took Alan and Ian to the Hospital Panto (Philip was ill), where our friend Val decided she'd like Ian in it next year. Started thinking about having work done on the kitchen.
March: Sue did a French Day; Paul took the boys to the Science museum; and we enjoyed ourselves at the Normandy church Barndance. Thought some more about the kitchen.
April/May: we abandoned our offspring and went to France for a long and not very dirty weekend, visiting our missionary friends Mark and Sue Howe and also meeting the Kemps. The boys barely missed us, the oldest two at Paul's parents and Ian with his friend Rosie. We flew to Paris - Sue's first flight - and (just) caught the TGV to Marseilles. Impressive!
June: we spent the wettest and windiest weekend of half-term on the church camping weekend. Four of our group of tents did not survive the experience, and by the second morning not a single frame tent remained standing on the entire site. It was so bad that Sue volunteered to go to a bed and breakfast with Ian. The disastrous weather is not the reason why there is no church camping weekend planned for 1995, honest! Enjoyed watching the Brother Cadfael stories on (a friend's) TV: we have been addicted to the books for years. We all went on the Junior Church Awayday and got very dirty at Frensham Pond. Philip and Sue sneaked off to Littlehampton without Ian but with about ninety other children from Nursery.
July: Katie came to stay with her friend Ian. There was a wonderful garden party for the church building fund where we enjoyed cream teas, good company and glorious weather. Then, for the same cause, the talent auction, a superb entertainment in its own right. Visited the model steam trains at Stoke Park - Ian hasn't stopped going on about them since! Thought some more about the kitchen.
The school holidays started with us abandoning our children again (but just for the day) to attend the wedding of Bruce and Katherine - our former lodger from South Road days - in Malvern. We combined this with a lovely weekend with John and Rosemary Jenkins. Ended July at Judith (Sue's boss) and BJ's house where Alan got very good at rock-climbing on a walk around the Devil's Jumps.
August: had a Tent With a Mission at church (no, we never found out what the tent's mission was) and the kids enjoyed Livewires, led by a talented Scripture Union worker.
September: The day Philip started school, the builder moved in and knocked down a wall in the kitchen, hacked off all the nasty brown tiles (and the six layers of wallpaper underneath), and stripped the ceiling. The following week we had a new sink unit installed, and new doors to the remaining cupboards. And then we had to paint, and have new vinyl for the floor. We are still thinking about new tiles for behind the sink, and still have some equipment in store. But the improvement is worth all the effort and mess.
Some of Paul's Surrey chums gathered for a wonderful meal and scintillating conversation at Steve and Sally Pryde's: Barry and Suzanne, Steve and Miriam, Tim and Jude, Adrian and Julia. The next day our boys learnt to play basket ball (a talent auction purchase) with a church family: barbecue for all, with coaching in beginners and improvers groups - Paul was surprisingly competent. And the Hitchins clan gathered in Oxford to celebrate Sue's dad's 70th birthday.
October: Alan's very first campfire, and our first for a long time. During Freshers' Week Sue found new babysitters from The Planet, still occupied by Christians, for those who remember it. Another talent auction outing: we took Christopher and Jenny, Alan and Philip to the Science Museum while Sally took Katy and Ian to a farm. We saw Carmen Jones in Woking - excellent!
Half-term week was spent in the Lake and Peak Districts, initially at a Durham reunion where we walked a little, ate more and talked a lot. Moved on to a cottage from where we visited Peter and Jo (Sue's brother and wife), Sue's Aunty Dorothy and Uncle Nevil, and met up with Mike and Barbara (Sue's sister and husband). Our education continued with a visit to Jodrell Bank.
November: this started with another trip to Judith and BJ's wonderful garden for a bonfire. Paul, and most other people at The Exchange, started working an extra day most weekends.
December: we abandoned the boys again, this time for Paul's work do, a 'black and white' evening at a nearby Country Club. Sally nobly had them all to stay so we could get out early enough and stay out as late as we wished (not very). For a small fee, photographs of Paul in formal evening wear can be provided! Paul made it to his first Go tournament of the year, while Sue and the children attended the dedication of our latest nephew, Stephen, born in August to Pip and Philip - grandchild six to Sue's parents, and all boys. Philip (and half the school) were ill on the day of his play, so it was repeated (with a different set of children sick) on the last day of term: he sang and danced beautifully. Alan read at his school carol service, with the deaf old lady at the back clearly in his mind. The Deputy Head was very impressed: she remembers him from Nursery, when he wouldn't even join in singing with other children - he still won't if he thinks he can get away with it, but Sue didn't tell her that. We spent a quiet Christmas Day here, then a few days in London.
Then Paul returned to work. Some of the software due to go live on January 3 had its release postponed to mid January. Life was supposed to get easier in January, but it is nearly the end of February and the software is still not yet live. As well as weekends, early and late shifts were introduced. The early shifts were okay if he went in at 7 am and left at 3.30 pm, but of course there were days when he went in at 7 and still left at 6.30 or 7.
Apart from news given earlier, our families remain much the same: Sue's brother Peter has graduated in Electrical Engineering from one of the Universities in Sheffield and is job-hunting while his wife Jo continues to avoid the TV cameras at Sheffield children's hospital. Sue's brother Ray urges everyone to write to their MP about the reorganisation of the Blood Transfusion Service which it seems will result in a poorer and more expensive service - more details on request. Paul's brother Roger works for an insurance company which is being reorganised with major redundancies in the IT department so he faces an interesting time. Parents continue to cope well with their noisy grandsons - Paul's father has discovered the joy of switching off his new hearing aid! | 2019-04-25T06:16:10 | http://hazelden.org.uk/news/xmas1994.htm?req=prt |

We live in a most exciting time, one of abundant picture book biographies! At my library, patrons of all ages check out these books. One adult recently told me he found it an excellent way to learn about famous people—past and present—without spending precious time reading a full biography on each person. With their lavish illustrations and informative back matter, this is no surprise. Authors and illustrators of picture book biographies put in a lot of research time to make sure their facts are correct, recorded, and shared in an entertaining manner. Below, you’ll find an alphabetized list of new releases from the past year—all well worth a look.
A Lady Has the Floor: Belva Lockwood Speaks Out for Women’s Rights was written by Kate Hannigan and illustrated by Alison Jay. Published in 2018 by Calkins Creek. This is an awesome story about a fearless unsung champion who was way ahead of her time. She even ran for president in 1884 and 1888. Belva was a lawyer, teacher, and activist who strongly believed in equality for all. I love the crackled-style folk art illustrations.
Alabama Spitfire: The Story of Harper Lee and To Kill a Mockingbird was written by Bethany Hegedus and illustrated by Erin McGuire. Published in 2018 by Balzer and Bray. Alabama Spitfire is a fascinating look into the creator of one of my favorite novels: To Kill a Mockingbird. Nell’s journey to tell her powerful story is inspiring and the pictures are delightful.
Anybody’s Game: The Story of the First Girl to Play Little League Baseball was written by Heather Lang and illustrated by Cecilia Puglesi. Published in 2018 by Albert Whitman & Company. Very cute story about talented Kathryn Johnston who was determined to play baseball on a boys’ team even if it meant cutting her hair and breaking the rules to get there.
Balderdash! John Newbery and the Boisterous Birth of Children’s Books was written by Michelle Markel and illustrated by Nancy Carpenter. Published in 2017 by Chronicle Books. Wonderful tribute to the ‘father of children’s literature’ for whom the famous Newbery awards were named. The busy illustrations are full of interesting details.
Becoming Bach was written and illustrated by Tom Leonard. Published in 2017 by Roaring Brook Press (A Neal Porter Book). Johann Sebastian Bach was born into a family of great musicians. As one who saw musical patterns all his life, this is the story of how he followed his dreams to become a true Bach. Beautiful illustrations add much to this interesting biography.
Before She Was Harriet was written by Lesa Cline-Ransome and illustrated by James E. Ransome. Published in 2017 by Holiday House. (A Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Book). The illustrations are lavish and lush and go perfectly with the lyrical writing in this gorgeous book about Harriet Tubman who has gone down in history for her exceptional strength and bravery.
Big Machines: The Story of Virginia Lee Burton was written by Sherri Duskey Rinker and illustrated by John Rocco. Published in 2017 by HMH Books for Young Readers. I love this special biography filled with information, great illustrations, and real photographs. Whether or not you are already a fan of Katy and the Big Snow, The Little House, Mike Mulligan and the rest of Virginia’s classic winners, you will be after you flip though this delightful book.
Charlie Takes His Shot: How Charlie Sifford Broke the Color Barrier in Golf was written by Nancy Churnin and illustrated by John Joven. Published in 2018 by Albert Whitman & Company. Another amazing story about an unsung hero, who took great risks to open up a national pastime game to all who want to play. Charlie became the first black golfer to win the Professional Golf Association Tournament.
Dangerous Jane was written by Suzanne Slade and illustrated by Alice Ratterree. Published in 2017 by Peachtree Publishers. Great story about Jane Addams, another strong, empathic woman who, rather than sit back and hope for change, stood up for what she believed. Fascinating details of her life from birth, up through winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Well done watercolor illustrations throughout.
Danza! Amalia Hernández and El Ballet Folklórico de México was written and illustrated by Duncan Tonatiuh. Published in 2017 by Harry N. Abrams. Duncan’s award-winning illustration style is so fabulous—colorful, unique, and always recognizable. And this fascinating story about the dancer and founder of Mexico’s Folkloric Ballet is no exception.
Dorothea Lange: The Photographer Who Found the Faces of the Depression was written by Carole Boston Weatherford and illustrated by Sarah Green. Published in 2017 by Albert Whitman & Company. Interesting introduction to one of the leading documentary photographers of the twentieth century. The illustrations do a good job of reflecting the time period.
The Flying Girl: How Aída de Acosta Learned to Soar was written by Margarita Engle and illustrated by Sara Palacios. Published in 2018 by Atheneum Books for Young Readers. Both the pictures and the poetic words soar in this colorful tale of another little-known champion who broke through barriers. Aída became the first woman to fly a motorized aircraft.
Frida Kahlo and Her Animalitos was written by Monica Brown and illustrated by John Parra. Published in 2017 by North South Books. The lively and colorful acrylic paintings were a perfect choice for bringing this fabulous Mexican artist to life. Unlike other picture books about Frida, this one also stands out for its focus on her pets.
Girl Running: Bobbi Gibb and the Boston Marathon was written by Annette Bay Pimentel and illustrated by Micha Archer. Published in 2018 by Nancy Paulsen Books. This depiction of a determined young runner gives nice details of the obstacles Bobbi overcame in order to participate (unofficially) as the first woman runner in the Boston Marathon. Fun collage pictures have added mile markers that follow the marathon route.
Grace Hopper, Queen of Computer Code written by Laurie Wallmark and illustrated by Katy Wu. Published in 2017 by Sterling. A cheerful positive message of going after what you want in life. Laurie’s done it again with choosing a strong female character who wanted to know how things worked. Vivid cartoon-style digital illustrations, with quotations from Grace throughout, add much to this lovely book.
Imagine That! How Doctor Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat was written by Judy Sierra and illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. Published in 2017 by Random House Books for Young Readers. Although there have been plenty of Dr. Seuss biographies, this book was unique in that it focuses entirely on The Cat in the Hat and how it came to be written. As you can tell by the brilliant cover, this is a fun read!
J oan Proctor, Dragon Doctor: The Woman Who Loved Reptiles was written by Patricia Valdez and illustrated by Felicita Sala. Published in 2018 by Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers. Yet another fascinating woman scientist I knew nothing about. Her uncommon interest in reptiles (she even brought her crocodile to math class one day) gives a humorous twist to this story of being true to oneself.
J ohn Ronald’s Dragons: The Story of J. R. R. Tolkien was written by Caroline McAlister and illustrated by Eliza Wheeler. Published in 2017 by Roaring Brook Press. Really, who could resist opening a book on the life of this masterful storyteller? The lovely depictions of the English countryside bring a dreamy quality to Tolkien’s boyhood and fascination with dragons. Great back matter, as well!
Karl, Get out of the Garden! Carolus Linnaeus and the Naming of Everything was written by Anita Sanchez and illustrated by Catherine Stock. Published in 2017 by Charlesbridge. From his start as a curious young boy, Linné ended up naming more than 12,000 species of plants and animals. His Latin classification system was accepted and used by scientists across the globe. A lovely, well done introduction on an important aspect of biology.
The Legendary Miss Lena Horne was written by Carole Boston Weatherford and illustrated by Charlotte Riley-Webb. Published in 2017 by Atheneum Books for Young Readers. Beautiful art brings Lena’s story to life. Her constant determination and struggle against racism is an important aspect that bears retelling.
Lighter than Air: Sophie Blanchard, the First Woman Pilot was written by Matthew Clark Smith and illustrated by Matt Tavares. Published in 2017 by Candlewick. Lovely writing complements the soft watercolor and ink paintings of this charming story of a courageous woman who took to the skies despite the dangers involved with this mode of transportation.
Long-Armed Ludy and the First Women’s Olympics was written by Jean L. S. Patrick and illustrated by Adam Gustavson. Published in 2017 by Charlesbridge. This was a fun read. The paintings are well done with super writing to match. Told with humor, I enjoyed learning about this strong athlete.
Mae Among the Stars was written by Roda Ahmed and illustrated by Stasia Burrington. Published in 2018 by Harper Collins Publishers. A gorgeous picture book—bold digital and ink illustrations—inspired by the life of Mae Jemison, the first African American woman to travel in space.
Margaret and the Moon: How Margaret Hamilton Saved the First Lunar Landing was written by Dean Robbins and illustrated by Lucy Knisley. Published in 2017 by Knopf Books for Young Readers. Excellent combination of good writing and fun illustration with real pictures of Margaret at the end of this entertaining read.
Melvin the Mouth: Young Mel Blanc…before he was the Man of 1,000 Voices was written by Katherine Blanc and illustrated by Jeffrey Ebbeler. Published in 2017 by Charlesbridge. Fun to learn more about the man behind famous cartoon voices, such as Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, and Woody Woodpecker.
The Music of Life: Bartolomeo Cristofori & the Invention of the Piano was written by Elizabeth Rusch and illustrated by Marjorie Priceman. Published in 2017 by Atheneum Books for Young Readers. This lively book, filled with fascinating details and gouache paintings, is sure to please all music lovers.
Ordinary, Extraordinary Jane Austen is written by Deborah Hopkinson and illustrated by Qin Leng. Published in 2018 by Balzer & Bray. Being the Story of Six Novels, Three Notebooks, a Writing Box, and One Clever Girl, this absolutely lovely book is a must for all Austen fans. At the end, each of her famous works is given a brief summary, including special quotations pulled from the novels.
Shark Lady: The True Story of How Eugenie Clark Became the Ocean’s Most Fearless Scientist was written by Jess Keating and illustrated by Marta Alvarez Miguens. Published in 2017 by Sourcebooks Jabberwocky. A great, colorful, inspiring story for young adventurers.
Strange Fruit: Billy Holiday and the Power of a Protest Song was written by Gary Golio and illustrated by Charlotte Riley-Webb. Published in 2017 by Millbrook Press. A powerful book dealing with difficult themes during a dark time in U. S. History, just before the Civil Rights Movement.
Strong as Sandow: How Eugen Sandow Became the Strongest Man on Earth was written and illustrated by Don Tate. Published in 2017 by Charlesbridge. Fun pairing of bright, outlined, illustrations and an intriguing story. Interesting back matter includes Tate’s own time as a bodybuilder.
Vincent Can’t Sleep: Van Gogh Paints the Night Sky was written by Barb Rosenstock and illustrated by Mary Grandpre. Published in 2017 by Knopf Books for Young Readers. One can never have too many books about Vincent Van Gogh and this one is spectacular—gorgeous and lyrical!
Who Says Women Can’t Be Computer Programmers? The Story of Ada Lovelace written by Tanya Lee Stone and illustrated by Marjorie Priceman. Published in 2018 by Henry Holt & Company. Another fine book on Ada with bright whimsical illustrations and a solid storyline.

Since the news of Stuxnet has reached the popular media, it's probably time for a quick diary on the subject. Securnia has write-ups on two of the unpatched security vulnerabilities that allow privilege escalation that Stuxnet relies on here and here. Symantec also has a series on Stuxnet that you can read up on here. While Stuxnet does use the LNK vulnerability, it existed before then using other modes of infection (for instance, via USB keys). Another interesting note is that it exploited one of the same vulnerabilities that Conficker did. Among other things, Conficker was a real problem for embedded systems (particularly those embedded systems that ran Windows). Hospitals and health care facilities had a lot of trouble with Conficker, for instance, with their equipment.
One of the working theories is that Stuxnet was designed to attack Iranian facilities and may have had it's origin in Israel. It's important to note that initial statistics showed that India and Indonesia made up a higher precentage of compromises than Iran but around the end of July, Iran had the bulk of infections.
Assuming it is an attempt to attack the Iranian facilities, I suppose it's better to launch a cyberattack than to go all Osirak circa 1981. But the moral and philosophical implications are probably best for another venue.
An important thing to note when it comes to cyberwar, there is a lot of hype that attempts to make this a more dangerous threat than it probably is (at this specific point in time). A healthy dose of skepticism is warranted, in part, because with any cyberattack it is very difficult to determine who is really behind an attack or why. Incident responders only have (and can only get) a piece of the information, what the attack attempts to do and the forensic details of that attack. Forensically examining a botnet C&C to determine who was behind it and what happened historically gets to be much more difficult. The reasons for that are as much legal and practical as they are technical. Simply put, most "bad people" know to operate in jurisdictions least likely to cooperate with "the good guys".
What we do know is that many countries and organizations are looking for ways to use electronic ifnrastructure to cripple opponents and that this is not a new development. Information systems have always been a rich target for espionage. Sabotage has always been an element of covert warfare as well. In so far as elements of our critical infrastructure depend and/or are controlled by information systems, electronic sabotage becomes a more real possibility. In the current case, however, Stuxnet being a tool of cyber-sabotage is a theory that fits the facts but far from the only theory. In short, the jury is still out.
At this point, most common malware detection tools will detect this. However, one of the key infection mechanisms early-on was USB keys. A popular mode of pen-testers to test an organization is to drop USB keys in a parking lot, send "free" keys in with vendor logos and the like to get individuals in an organization to plug USB keys into the organizations network. This is an easy to defect vector of attack by employing security education, USB port security and disabling AutoRun. It's trivial to use USB keys and to create custom malware that will bypass all AV. It's also easy (but not trivial) to shut down this vector. For larger organizations, the solution may be to simply distribute your own "branded" USB keys for users to move data around which may be a proper balance between security and usability.
No, it isn't. It is just one more along the way in bringing new weapons to the great game.
Distributing your own branded USB keys for internal use isn't a very good solution, either. People still take them home and put things on them that aren't supposed to be there (like MP3s and malicious PDFs) and the keys get infected and brought back.
Setting up boxen to automatically scan all removable storage devices the moment they are registered helps mitigate this somewhat.
I run a media encryption system that is designed specifically to counter this threat of USB and external media based malware. The client software scans all media with our AV within a sandbox environment before allowing the device to access the host OS. It also controls access to the device, barring users from executing any software held on the device unless they have been granted permissions from the server.
the software is highly configurable, and if we were to be more paranoid about infection, we can limit access by device ID, user ID and Host machine, or any combination of the 3.
in the event of a machine being taken outside the network, we have set the software to commence a full external media lockdown until the machine can communicate with the server, either by re-entry to the network or via VPN.
all in all, this severely hampers any attempts to infect our network via external media, essentially requiring a user with highly elevated privileges to be the one who uses the infected stick and for the malware itself not to be detectable by our AV.
obviously this alone will not secure a network from attacks, but it is something that any secure network should have. The software is not beyond the budget of any of these large companies and why they dont use the many media control options available is beyond me!
If the theory about the targeted attack by a Nation-State is correct, then this is still not Cyber-War in my opinion. In war, you know your opponent. You battle head-to-head. In the Internet real, this could be something like a DoS attack. You see it's happening (even though you may not know who's behind it).
Stealthy infecting a country with a targeted virus/worm/trojan sounds more like "Cyber-Covert-Action" to me. Think Special Ops commandos stealthy infiltrating to conduct sabotage. It seems to me that Stuxnet would be more Cyber-Cover-Action or Cyber-Special-Ops or whatever you want to call it. But not outright "war". | 2019-04-25T13:54:02 | https://secure.dshield.org/forums/diary/Is+Stuxnet+the+Beginning+of+the+Cyberwar+Era/9601/ |
When Bridgewater State and Mass-Dartmouth kick off on Friday night, it will mark the beginning of Week 6 in Division III, the first of 106 games. In our traditional 11-week season, it also means we’ll be crossing the halfway point, and by now should have a fair idea of what teams are and are going to be this season. Most teams are playing their fifth game of ten this week, and a handful are playing game six.
But half a season remaining means there’s plenty of time to write the final chapters of these various stories, and for us to observe how they unfold. For some teams, it starts on Saturday, and that’s why one of the seven Triple Take questions this week asks whether a team will begin to change its fortunes, for better or worse, with this weekend’s result.
As always, Around the Nation columnist Ryan Tipps, editor and publisher Pat Coleman and I provide primers on the week ahead. Add your picks in the comment section below.
Keith’s take: No. 14 Rowan at Salisbury. The host Sea Gulls are the nation’s second-most-successful rushing offense, at more than 391 yards per game. The Profs are top 20 against the run, allowing fewer than 77 yards per game. Classic ‘something’s got to give’ matchup. But it’s game-of-the-week quality for another reason: As members of the newfangled NJAC, both have No. 5 Wesley still ahead on the schedule and can’t afford the conference loss here. The Sea Gulls, whose Week 1 blown lead against Albright looks less bad with each passing week, won’t be in a good place for an at-large bid with another defeat either. Salisbury’s game at TCNJ last week was cancelled, so they’re surely itching to get back on the field.
Ryan’s take: No. 1 UW-Whitewater at No. 15 UW-Oshkosh. I had originally done a writeup on the Rowan/Salisbury game for this spot, but the more I thought of it, the more it seemed like that game was the lone possibility of an upset. So I moved that one to my upset game and figured it best to point to the one matchup between top-25 teams. The thing is, Oshkosh isn’t on my ballot yet because I haven’t seen what they’re capable of in a challenging situation. A win or a close loss could really win me over for the Titans. Whitewater has had two very difficult weeks back to back, and Oshkosh will make it a third. The question may be whether the Warhawks are thoroughly battle tested because of these games or whether they’re getting worn down by their constant intensity.
Pat’s take: Washington and Lee at Hampden-Sydney. After Matt Pawlowski’s injury last week threw the Old Dominion Athletic Conference race even further open, this game follows right on its heels. It’s still early in the ODAC season and both teams are 1-0 in conference games, but W&L has taken down one of the contenders already. Like many option attacks, the Generals offense has had varied success over the years, but is on an upswing this year behind trigger man Charlie Nelson. The defense has given up a lot of yards on the ground this season, but it’s unclear what kind of rushing game the Tigers have to throw at them — H-SC did run a lot last week, but it was in the rain and in a run-out-the-clock type of game. It might not be a four-overtime game like it was in 2012, but I look for an entertaining battle.
Keith’s take: Berry at No. 24 Chicago. The Maroons have cracked the D3football.com top 25 for the first time, a big accomplishment for the alma mater of the first Heisman Trophy winner and former Big Ten school coached by Amos Alonzo Stagg. Sparked by two huge Chandler Carroll rushing days, Chicago is averaging nearly 35 points per game and is 4-0. Berry has quietly won four straight since a Week 1 loss to Maryville, and allowed just 29 points in the process (7.5 per game). The Vikings probably aren’t stout enough defensively to hold Chicago down for a full game, but it could be low-scoring and close for a while.
Ryan’s take: Redlands at Cal Lutheran. At 1-2, the Bulldogs appear on paper to have had a slow start to their season, but when one of the early opponents is Linfield, that’s just how things are going to look. Previous years have started with losses, too, when the likes of Linfield, Mary Hardin-Baylor and Pacific Lutheran in its prime were on the schedule. Undefeated Cal Lutheran has been winning, but they’ve been doing it in an up-and-down fashion, having to mount a big comeback in one game and fend off a late surge in another. Knee-deep in conference play, these two teams now have a lot riding on this matchup.
Pat’s take: UW-Stevens Point at No. 12 UW-Platteville. If nothing else, we’ll find out exactly how good the Pointers are and if they’ll be a threat to the Warhawks later, or to the Pioneers this week. Losing at Albion in Week 1 knocked Stevens Point off the radar and the Pointers haven’t played anyone since then to get themselves back on it, but they could do so on Saturday.
Keith’s take: No. 18 Cortland State. The Red Dragons have won in overtime in back-to-back weeks and have been on an amazing run of last-minute finishes since last season’s Cortaca Jug game. Buffalo State is coming off a 30-7 win against St. John Fisher behind backup quarterback Aaron Ertel’s three-touchdown-pass, no-interception day. Jon Mannix, Jake Smith and Steven Ferreira have all scored game-winners for Cortland State, and against Framingham State, the punt coverage team preserved the victory while leading by five in the final seconds. One has to wonder how long Cortland’s heroics can go on.
Ryan’s take: No. 14 Rowan. If not for a miniscule Week 1 stumble against Albright, Salisbury would be on a lot more people’s radars (and the fact that Albright is borderline top 25 makes that loss all the more forgivable). Rowan’s weakness is that it hasn’t been able to put up many points this season, especially in the past two weeks. The team relies too much on its defense (to its credit, a stout one). These two teams haven’t played each other since 2012, and it’s difficult to slow a triple-option team like Salisbury if you’re not used to playing against that kind of offense. If the Profs win, their No. 14 spot in the poll will be more than justified. If Salisbury wins, we will almost certainly see them back in the national discussion and will start analyzing their conference showdown with Wesley in November.
Which team went into overtime last week but will be able to breathe easily late in this week’s game?
Keith’s take: Lebanon Valley. Going from playing Lycoming one week to FDU-Florham the next isn’t the contrast is once was, but the Devils’ 40-7 loss to Delaware Valley looked like the FDU of old. The Flying Dutchmen are 2-3, but have played Franklin & Marshall, Stevenson and Widener closely. Lebanon Valley is also one of the five least-penalized teams in the country, one of the 25 best at third-down defense, and they rush for 251 yards per game. FDU-Florham (2-2) is getting an eye-opening season from wide receiver Malik Pressley, but he won’t be any help to a rush defense that is ranked 231st in D-III, allowing 259 yards per game.
Ryan’s take: Ripon. Part of why I’m zeroing in on the Hawks is because it’s probably been a couple of seasons since I mentioned them in Triple Take. Ripon has just one blemish this season, and week to week, they’ve been getting better at scoring points. Opponent Macalester doesn’t rate too highly statistically on stopping the run game, which is where Ripon’s strength lies.
Pat’s take: Chapman. At 0-3, the Panthers already have lost more games than they did the previous two seasons combined. It shouldn’t take until October for a playoff team to get its first win the following season, but that’s one of the dangers of the nine-game schedule. Chapman should find Pomona-Pitzer an easier opponent than Linfield, Whitworth and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps.
Ryan’s take: Emory and Henry. The Wasps’ game against Bridgewater is shaping up to be a good one, with both teams entering 3-1 — the lone loss for each of them comes against teams that are undefeated. Most interesting is that this year’s ODAC is similar to the untemplated ODACs we’ve seen in recent years, where teams at the bottom still compete hard and there is vulnerability at all stages. Hampden-Sydney wasn’t a clear favorite going into the season but is doing well, Washington and Lee is riding an undefeated streak, and Guilford isn’t going to slide much after just one loss — all of that in addition to E&H and BH2O both poised to challenge. If I were in this game, I’d want to be at home in front of my own fans. It’s a big one.
Pat’s take: Delaware Valley. Although the Aggies were largely written off before the season started thanks to its graduation losses, then even more so after a Week 2 loss at Wilkes, Delaware Valley is still here and still in contention for the MAC title. The Aggies also control their destiny, with all the teams ahead of them in the standings still to come on their schedule. In this case, with Stevenson coming to Doylestown, Delaware Valley can get itself one step closer to returning to the top of the conference.
Keith’s take: Puget Sound. It’s been good to see the Loggers finally taste a bit of success, and with Whitworth good again, I can’t believe I’m highlighting this game. But the feel-good nature of the UPS’s start might take a hit when the Pirates cross Washington state for this one. The Loggers have managed to start 2-1 with a defense that’s 189th overall (435 yards/game) and 212th against the pass. The Loggers’ offense is almost all pass, and it’s worked so far. But Whitworth is 15th nationally in pass efficiency defense, with eight interceptions, while facing teams trying to come back from big deficits. The Pirates have also scored between 37 and 47 points in all of their wins.
Ryan’s take: DePauw. DPU’s win streak likely ends here against No. 20 Wittenberg. But kudos to DePauw for even being a team in this position, a far cry from where they were just a couple of seasons ago. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the only loss they carry into their rivalry showdown with Wabash in Week 11.
Pat’s take: Finlandia. Can’t go more than a few days without mentioning the first-year program and the Lions have a shot at the program’s first winning streak with Presentation coming to town. The Saints, whom you might remember once lived in Division III and the UMAC, are a more-established program, but not a strong one, and they have a 10-hour bus ride to get to Hancock, Mich. But even if Finlandia doesn’t win this game, I expect the Lions to be competitive for the second week in a row and that’s an important milestone for the program as well.
Keith’s take: No. 15 UW-Oshkosh. Since a season-opening, non-division 23-21 loss to Robert Morris-Chicago, the Titans have outscored opponents, 190-14. The Titans are currently top 10 nationally in scoring offense and scoring defense. Their competition (Finlandia, North Park and UW-Stout) has been so overmatched, it’s been hard to get a read on how the Titans would stack up against top D-III teams. UW-Whitewater is No. 1 because of reputation, as well as solid wins at Morningside and against UW-Platteville, so I’ll be watching both teams to see how they compare, how they affect the playoff picture and whether Saturday’s loser is an at-large bid candidate.
Ryan’s take: Ohio Northern. Very few teams come away from Alliance looking good, but the Polar Bears have several reasons to be happy with how this season is playing out. A win against Mount isn’t what I’m expecting, but if ONU can hold their own with no more than a two-score margin, they will be worth paying attention to.
Pat’s take: Pacific and No. 3 Linfield. Actually, rather than relying on radar, I’ll have them on visual, as I’ll be seeing the Boxers and Wildcats live Saturday afternoon in McMinnville, Ore. I’ll primarily be looking for something to make me feel confident in voting Linfield No. 1, but also looking to see Pacific for the first time. | 2019-04-23T20:43:56 | http://www.d3blogs.com/d3football/tag/chicago/ |

Whose mangroves are they anyway?
I have been busy recently with setting up our Australian mangrove-saltmarsh network – at least to formalise it with a new website. Please pass this message around to ask if anyone would like to check it out, and maybe also to register if they want to stay in touch with things going on in Australia. Or they could just revisit the site whenever.
Gaston Browne: Don't let Chinese Developers break laws conserving our Marine Protected Areas.
I am contacting you because of your prior interest in tidal wetlands, mangroves and or saltmarsh habitats around Australia.
This message flags the launch of our first website for the Australian Mangrove & Saltmarsh Network (AMSN). The site is generously supported by Dr Damien Burrows, Director of TropWATER, and James Cook University. The url is: www.amsn.net.au. Please check it out soon.
Note that, while our network is informal, it is active and growing fast. To keep things so, we rely on individual contributions and donations from our special stakeholders. This years meeting was well attended in Wollongong. It was led by Dr Kerrylee Rogers, and hosted by UoW along with support from TNC and the NSW Dept. Environment & Heritage.
If you are interested in continuing your interest and involvement in the network, please register using the website portal. It is free! Being registered will guarantee you will get the latest news and updates from AMSN members, the best methods for habitat assessment & evaluation, the best ways to restore damaged sites, and early news about AMSN meetings. And, there is a lot more likely ... the network is as good as its memberS.
For example, as a result of the Wollongong meeting, a position paper is in preparation about national policy issues regards mangrove habitat in Australia. This professional view is much needed to emphasis further that while tidal wetlands are profoundly beneficial, they are also seriously threatened. At best, these shoreline habitats face an uncertain future.
For those who can make it to the next annual meeting, I hope to see you in Darwin next year.

Again, thank you very much for your support. I also never forget Jim Enright and Robin Lewis who did great efforts to introduce me with you all. Then, I will write a separated letter to them for special thanks.
I look forward to working together with you soon for mangroves as well as water.
An international environmental organisation has given its backing to a growing protest in Antigua against a massive development on its environmentally protected North shore. The announcement came on the same day as the Antigua Conversation Society launched a petition which gained more than 800 signatures in the first 24 hours.
The Mangrove Action Project, which is a global network focusing on viable, long term solutions to halt and prevent mangrove destruction, says that it is deeply concerned by the plans published by Chinese development corporation YIDA. YIDA has purchased the 1600 acres of land, including mangrove-rich Guiana Island, with the intention of developing the US$1billion Singulari resort. The resort will feature hundreds of villas, several marinas, luxury hotels, a casino, school and two golf courses.
The area is in the 3,100 hectare North East Marine Management Area (NEMMA). In order to be carried out legally the project needs an Environmental Impact Assessment being submitted under the Physical Planning Act 2003. There is also a requirement for permission to be sought from the Fisheries Division under the Fisheries Act 2006 for any pruning or removal of mangroves, which must improve the environment.
Species which make their homes in the NEMMA include many of the 182 species of Antiguan and Barbudan birds such as the endangered West Indian Whistling Duck, the Lesser Antillean Flycatcher and Bullfinch, egrets, and Carib doves. There are also Hawksbill turtles which nest on the beaches, snapper and many other fish, lobsters, coral, sponges, conch, and seagrass as well as the ecologically vital mangroves. In 2005, the NEMMA was declared a marine protected area under the Fisheries (Marine Reserve Area) Notice No 36.
Alarm about the development is spreading in Antigua, with the Antigua Conservation Society launching an online petition yesterday (12th May) asking Prime Minister Gaston Browne not to let Chinese developers break the laws which conserve Antigua’s marine protected areas. The petition gathered a massive total of more than 800 signatures in the first 24 hours.
The group says it believes while the majority of Antiguans support economic growth, jobs and development in the country, they don’t want it at the expense of the island’s precious environment. Director of Adventure Antigua Eco Tours and founder of the Antigua Conservation Society, Eli Fuller, said: "The Siboney were the first humans settling here in Antigua and Barbuda.
They lived in the shadows of our coastal vegetation some 4000 years ago and were sustained by the ecosystems that were rooted there among the mangroves. Tourism has been in these islands only since the 1950s, and already we have removed much of the same vegetation that sustained life here until its arrival. Only time will tell how long tourism will continue to be an integral part of our lives here in Antigua and Barbuda. It's a very fickle industry to rely upon with so many threats from so many angles that could make tourism a distant memory of the past...... just like the Siboney.
What will happen when tourism is no longer able to provide food for our nation? It is then that we will need to rely more heavily than ever before on the natural resources and of course this will be impossible if they continue to destroy them. It's time for the words sustainable development to become more than words." Amongst those protesting the development is Antiguan-born Ziffy Tyrrell who said: “People are really alarmed at these plans and the bullying tone of some of the speeches made in regard to them, calling those of us concerned about the environment a ‘minority’. | 2019-04-19T01:16:25 | https://mangroveactionproject.blogspot.com/2015/05/?m=0 |
If you didnt know this already, vehicle fumes can make you severly sick. If you are around diesel fumes very often, you can get lung cancer. There is many different organics and materials that can get into your system and hurt you. Anything that is less than 1 micron can be swallowed. Many organics that are in diesel fumes are under 1 micron. This means you will be inhaling bad chemicals.
We all know what vehicle fumes do to the environment, they can kill many things that provide us with oxygen such as trees. Now I want you to picture a life with out trees, oh? You can't? Exactly, if there was not trees there would be no life on earth. Electric cars, they create a whole new way to get rid of half of our worlds pollution. That's it, now I know we won't go 100% on electric cars, but even 25% would make a large difference.

Sorrento is a township and resort on the Mornington Peninsula with beaches on Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait. It is 62 km directly south of Melbourne and 8 km from Point Nepean at the end of the peninsula.
Sorrento was not named as such until the 1870s, 70 years after the first official, but non-permanent, European settlement took place there. Port Phillip Bay had been explored by British naval authorities in 1800 and 1802, and in the following years a British expedition comprising two ships and over 300 people were settled at Sorrento at Sullivans Bay, a small indent facing Port Phillip Bay. The motives for the settlement appear to have been Bass Strait sealing and forestallment of French settlement. Within seven months, however, the settlement was transferred to Tasmania in May 1804. The settlement site is reserved and there are a museum and 'early settlers' graves': there is doubt that the graves date from the 1803 settlement. There was a bicentennial re-enactment at the site in 2003. Controversially parts of the site were offered as the Sisters Estate subdivision in 2011.
Sorrento is underlain by limestone and, along with much of the western Mornington Peninsula, it was exploited for the Melbourne building trade, particularly after the gold rushes. Limestone has also been used for local building masonry. Apart from limeburners and fishing, a quarantine station was built at Point Nepean in 1859 mainly with the fear of plague-ship passengers in mind. A school was opened in 1855.
The transformation of Sorrento to a resort township came about from Melbourne interests. During 1863-68 the parliamentarian Charles Gavan Duffy and the theatrical entrepreneur George Coppin made exploratory forays, the former building a holiday house at Sorrento and Coppin trying to promote the area. It is thought that Duffy conferred the name Sorrento, presumably after Sorrento on the Gulf of Naples in Italy. In 1870 Coppin began the entrepreneurial development of Sorrento, bringing tourists by bay steamer to a newly built pier and opening the 'Ocean Amphitheatre' on the Sorrento back beach. The Sorrento Hotel was built in 1872. Within a few years a swimming baths was built, walking tracks formed and Sorrento Park along Port Phillip Bay foreshore was laid out. Regular bay steamer services brought vacationers and sightseers. A steam-tram service (1890-1921) conveyed visitors from the pier to the back beach.
The Sorrento golf course was opened in 1903 and until 1942 bay steamers continued to bring visitors. In the 1920s there were seven guest houses and four large hotels. Motorised private transport did not significantly detract from Sorrento as a visitor destination until after World War II when neighbouring Portsea became a smarter place for holiday homes and vacationng. The Sorrento back beach's bays and coastal scenery were a tamer environment than the Portsea surf beach. Nevertheless, Broadbent's guide to Mornington Peninsula (1949) observed that it was hard to determine where Sorrento ended and Portsea began, and the bay foreshore's stretch of seaside homes was often referred to as 'the millionaire's mile'.
Back from the foreshore residents and tradespeople went about earning a living. Their lives are described in Kathy Skelton's Miss Gymkhana, R.G. Menzies and me, a story of small-town Australia (1990).
In the 1990s Sorrento defied the fate of many Victorian resort towns. Three of the four hotels remained, along with one of the guesthouses. There are also a hostel and three caravan parks. Coppin's Ocean Amphitheatre, lookout and walking tracks have been incorporated in the Mornington Peninsula State Park, a linear foreshore reserve that runs to Cape Schanck. Most of Sorrento is subdivided for housing, but tree cover is generous and undulating landscape conceals a landscape of roof tops. There is a reserve with tennis and bowling facilities, and a foreshore reserve with camping areas and beaches along Port Phillip Bay. The main street had a comprehensive range of shops, although some of the facades have been overdone with heritage nostalgia. The Nepean Historical Museum is in the mechanics' institute. There are Anglican, Catholic and Presbyterian churches and State (307 pupils, 2014) and Catholic (1932) primary schools. ferries provide regular car and passenger services to Queenscliff on the western side of Port Phillip Bay. | 2019-04-20T22:27:54 | https://victorianplaces.com.au/sorrento |
