Wisconsin OWI � How is Blood Alcohol Level Determined?
Your BAC is determined by testing your blood, breath or urine. Blood and urine testing are accomplished by taking a sample and sending it to the state crime lab. Breath testing is done at the police station by blowing into the Intoximeter or related machine.
Breath testing is most common, because police don’t have to send in a sample to get results. These machines can only detect alcohol, though, so another method is needed if use of drugs is suspected.
Blood testing may only be done according to approved methods established by the Wisconsin Hygiene Lab. Blood may only be drawn by qualified medical personnel.
Urine testing is used less often. It is the least accurate of the three, and has all the same requirements of blood testing: a licensed person has to perform the testing according to Department of Hygiene standards.
Police also use a device called a portable breath test, or PBT. About the size of a kazoo, this disposable device can be used at the scene of the stop. For the most part, results of the PBT are not admissible at trial.
How are the Results of my Breath or Blood Test Used at Court?
What happens to my license if I have a prohibited alcohol concentration?
The law says that the results of a breath or blood test are presumed to be accurate and are admissible at trial against you. This applies to any test method authorized by statute. A defense attorney may still challenge the test at trial, but such challenge goes to the “weight and credibility” of the result, not its admissibility. In other words, the jury is going to hear the result. All you can do is try to convince them it is inaccurate. You cannot get the judge to prevent them from hearing it in the first place.
There are exceptions. If there are independent reasons for keeping the results away from the jury, the judge can do that. So, if the sample was taken more than three hours after driving, the court could find the results irrelevant. Or if the evidence is insufficient to connect you to the sample offered, the court could find it lacked authentication. A lawyer can find other challenges as well.
If any test, including one taken at your request, shows a prohibited alcohol concentration, the officer will take your license and issue you a notice of administrative suspension. That notice is your driver’s license for the next 30 days (if you had a valid license), after which your license is automatically suspended for six months.
1. Were you identified correctly?
2. Were you informed of your options under the implied consent law?
3. Did you have a prohibited alcohol concentration at the time of driving?
4. Were the alcohol tests administered according to law?
5. Did any test show a prohibited alcohol concentration?
6. Was there probable cause for arrest?
7. Were you driving a commercial motor vehicle at the time of arrest?
Hearings are casual. They can be done over the phone. The officer does not have to appear unless subpoenaed. He can just submit his report instead. You can submit your position in writing instead of appearing too.
If the hearing officer determines that the requirements for administrative suspension are met and you had a prohibited alcohol concentration at the time of driving, the six month suspension is upheld. If not, you get your license back with no additional fees. All this must happen, and the results mailed to you, within 30 days of the arrest. You can appeal an unfavorable determination to the court where your offense is being tried.
Any time spent on administrative suspension would count toward the total revocation received if ultimately convicted of the offense. | 2019-04-20T22:23:25 | http://www.badgerlawyer.com/owi-law/owi-blood-level.php |

Certain material characteristics can be used to predict the potential behaviour of a material when pneumatically conveyed. One is based on aeration and permeability properties, and another on basic property classifications, such as that by Geldart, presented in relation to fluidized motion conveying systems in Chapter 2.
of being conveyed in dense phase and at low velocities. Coarse granular materials such as sand, salt and granular coal and ash have very poor air retention properties and cannot be conveyed in dense phase flow in conventional pneumatic conveying systems. If such materials have a very narrow particle size distribution and very good permeaility, however, it is possible that they will convey in dense phase in plug flow.
A goal in pneumatic conveying is to make it possible to design a pneumatic conveying system without the need for carrying out full scale conveying tests with a material. In a conventional pneumatic conveying system not all materials can be conveyed in dense phase. A problem for users and manufacturers of pneumatic conveyors alike is identi- fying which materials have low velocity dense phase capability without performing full scale conveying trials .
Research is not yet at a point where a pneumatic conveying system can be reliably designed on the basis of measuring appropriate properties from a small representative sample of the material to be conveyed. It is important to realize that even different grades of the same material can exhibit very significant differences in terms of conveying capability. This issue is considered in detail later in this chapter.
As a result, it is still necessary to undertake conveying trials with a material in a reasonably large scale pneumatic conveying test facility in order to get reliable data for system design, particularly if it is a material for which no previous conveying experience is available, and if it is desired to convey the material at low velocity in a dense phase mode.
1. Suspension flow (dilute phase) – where all, or the majority, of the material is in sus- pension in the conveying gas.
2. Moving bed type flow (dense phase) – where the material is conveyed in dunes on the bottom of the pipeline or as a pulsatile moving bed.
3. Slug or plug type flow (dense phase) – where the material is conveyed as full bore plugs separated by air gaps.
There can be considerable overlap between the moving bed type flow and slug flow in term of velocity and solids loading ratio, depending on the material characteristics. Within each flow regime there are many sub-divisions and variations in flow char- acteristics that make the problem of behavioural prediction extremely difficult. In general, however, few materials are capable of being conveyed in both dense phase flow regimes.
The importance of material properties on pneumatic conveying performance has been appreciated by many workers in a qualitative manner. Two of the more common correlations that categorize in terms of particle density and mean particle size are con- sidered for reference.
Geldart’s classification, shown in Figure 13.11, provides limited guidance, but this was originally derived specifically for fluidization behaviour, with no reference at all to pneumatic conveying. The classification is essentially in terms of two material properties. One is the difference in densities between the particles and the fluidizing medium. For air this difference can simply be taken as the particle density. The other property is the mean particle size of the material. It includes four broad areas that identify the behaviour of bulk materials when aerated or fluidized. It has often been considered that this form of classification could be used to assess the suitability of materials for dense phase conveying.
The classification is based on the behaviour of a column of material when fluidized through a porous base. Group A materials retain aeration and the fluid bed collapses very slowly when the air is turned off. These materials are best candidates for dense phase conveying. Group B materials do not retain aeration and the fluid bed collapses almost instantaneously when the air supply is turned off. The division between the A (air retentive) and B materials is close to identifying dense phase conveying capabil- ity in a sliding bed mode. The important property that it lacks for this purpose, how- ever, is particle size distribution. It is this that makes the A to B divide unreliable, and why it cannot identify plug flow capability with Group D materials.
In Figure 13.11 data from a number of materials that have been tested and conveyed by the author and colleagues have been included. The conveying characteristics for many of the materials were presented in the previous chapter and the rest will be found later in this chapter. The dividing line between Groups A and B generally separates the materials quite well. Sand, however, which is in Group A, will not convey in dense phase and fluorspar, which is in Group B, will convey in dense phase. The Geldart’s classification does not provide a sufficiently reliable indication for materials close to this divide. It is, of course, clearly not capable of identifying the pellets that will convey in dense phase.
An understanding of the role of particle properties such as size, and size distribution, shape or fractal properties and density will probably provide the ultimate solution to the problem. It is, however, very difficult to quantify properties such as particle shape and size distribution, and so measurable bulk properties associated with gas–particle interactions offer the best short-term means of using property values to predict pneumatic conveying performance. Air retention and permeability are probably the best bulk properties to consider for this purpose.
Dixon , among others, realized the importance of material type on the mode of conveying and devised a classification known as the Slugging Diagram, specifically for pneumatic conveying, which is shown in Figure 13.12. The axes are the same as those for the Geldart’s classification: density difference, which can be taken as particle dens- ity when the conveying medium is air, and mean particle size.
The Dixon and Geldart diagrams are both divided into areas A, B, C, and D, and it is suggested that these group together materials with similar flow capability. Broadly speaking, Group A materials are considered to be powders that have good fluidizing capability and are identified with the moving bed type flow regime. Group B materials are coarser materials that are not likely to convey in dense phase in a conventional system.
Group C materials are cohesive, fine powders that can be difficult to fluidize, although they often have very good air retention characteristics once mixed with air. These mater- ials can be conveyed in dense phase but can be troublesome, especially if they are allowed to de-aerate. Group D materials are large granular products that are possible can- didates for plug or slug flow, provided that the particle size distribution is no too wide.
The author and Mark Jones (now Professor and Director of the Centre for Bulk Solids & Particulate Technologies at The University of Newcastle, Australia) undertook a research study into possible correlations between material properties, obtained from small scale bench type tests, and material conveying characteristics obtained from full scale pneumatic conveying trials. Correlations were required both in terms of the mode of flow possible for a given material and for the flow rate of material that might be achieved. Material flow rate capability was included since this has been found to vary so widely for different materials, for both dilute and dense phase modes of flow.
In each case bulk properties of the material, using just a small sample, were to be measured that would relate as closely as possible to the air–material interactions that occur in the pneumatic conveying process. Correlations were sought that would allow reasonable predictions to be made as to whether a material will convey in dense phase or not, and what type of pressure drop/material flow rate characteristic is to be expected so that material flow rate capability might be predicted.
The material conveying characteristics that have been presented in the various chapters here show a wide variety of capabilities. The pattern of curves that make up the convey- ing characteristics are influenced by two main factors; pipeline geometry and material type. Changes due to pipeline geometry, particularly conveying distance and bends, are reasonably predictable. It is the differences in conveying characteristics with respect to material type that present most difficulties, and so it is this issue that was addressed.
The conveying characteristics are built up from the lines of constant conveying line pressure drop and solids loading ratio, plotted as material flow rate against air flow rate, over the range of conveyability of interest for any given material. It is the lines of constant conveying line pressure drop that are important. For a given pipeline the shape, spacing and limits of the pressure drop lines can vary significantly from one material to another.
The differences and changes with respect to material type are not entirely predictable, and this is why it is necessary to carry out tests if there is no previous, or only limited, conveying experience with a material. Once data is available it can be scaled to the required pipeline geometry with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The scaling, however, must not extend beyond the limits for which the data is available and the conveying capability proven.
A number of different materials were tested extensively for the benefit of the research. Two of the materials, granulated sugar and coal, degraded to such an extent during the conveying trials that their conveying characteristics changed. In each case it was pos- sible to obtain conveying characteristics for these materials, in both the as received and degraded conditions, and property values were also determined.
With both conveying data and property values available for a wide range of materials, there was the possibility of deriving correlations between the two. Since pneumatic conveying is the transport of particulate solids in air, it was possible that the most likely correlations between conveying characteristics and material properties would be found from bench tests in which material–air interactions take place. For this reason a number of properties associated with aeration were determined. These included per- meability factor, minimum fluidizing velocity, de-aeration rate and specific surface.
For similar reasons various density measurements were taken. Particle density and bulk density in both the ‘as poured’ and ‘vibrated’ conditions were measured. Voidage and degree of compaction were then derived from these values. Particle size is clearly important and so both the mean value and size distributions were determined. Particle shape and moisture content were also recorded, although these were included more for material reference purposes. Much of this data is logged in Appendix 1 for reference.
For a conveying mode correlation, air retention and permeability were the main bulk properties that were considered and it is these terms that have been used widely in terms of discussing material conveying capability and performance to this point in the Design Guide.
was plotted against permeability factor for each of the materials. Minimum conveying air velocity was employed since this can be directly related to conveying capability. This plot is shown in Figure 13.13. If the degraded materials are ignored, the points indicate a general trend.
From Figure 13.13 it can be seen that materials that have values of permeability factor in a range from about 10 X 10-6 to 120 X 10-6 can only be conveyed in dilute phase. To the left of this region, where the permeability is poor, and consequently the air retention is good, there is a cluster of points where the minimum conveying air velocity is less than 5 m/s. To the right of the dilute phase region is a lone point repre- senting polyethylene pellets. This area represents very good permeability. From the curve drawn it would appear that materials that have either good air retention proper- ties or good permeability, are likely candidates for dense phase conveying. In the area where neither the air retention nor the permeability are particularly good, materials will only convey in dilute phase.
Through the sight glasses that were fitted into the pipelines it was possible to observe the various flows. Three major groups were identified according to the observed modes of flow. On the right hand side of Figure 13.13 are coarse materials which con- vey in slug type flow at low velocity. The middle group of materials represent those with no natural dense phase capability in a conventional system. On the left hand side are materials that have good dense phase capability in a moving bed type flow regime.
The two degraded materials, however, do not fit the pattern too well on this plot and it is suggested that the permeability of a material to air is not the primary factor influ- encing the ability or otherwise of a material to be conveyed in a moving bed type flow regime. It is further suggested, however, that the permeability is probably the dominant factor for the slug and plug type flow regime.
The values of specific surface were derived from the same data from which the per- meability factor was determined, which was permeametry with air. For this reason it could be expected that a correlation which appears to exist between permeability fac- tor and conveying mode would be supported by any correlation that may exist between specific surface and conveying mode. These results, therefore, have not been included, but if specific surface is measured or derived by an entirely independent means it is suggested that it would be well worthwhile considering.
The experimental data used to evaluate the vibrated de-aeration constant is completely independent of the data obtained from fluidization. Any correlation between the vibrated de-aeration constant and conveying mode, therefore, will provide independent support for the correlation achieved for permeability factor with respect to conveying mode. Details of the equipment used and method of analysis are given in Appendix 1.
This data is presented in Figure 13.14 and it can be seen that a similar pattern occurs once again when minimum conveying air velocity is plotted against vibrated de-aeration constant, on linear scale axes in this case. Once again, a definite region can be identified in which only dilute phase conveying can be achieved. On either side of this dilute phase region, materials will convey in dense phase.
The area on the left of Figure 13.14 groups materials that were observed to convey in a moving bed type flow regime. The centre section of the diagram represents mater- ials that were observed to have no dense phase capability. The area to the right groups materials that were observed to convey in a slug type flow regime.
On this plot only the degraded coal was out of place. This coal had the widest par- ticle size distribution of any of the materials tested, other than the original coal. In addition, however, the size distribution was far from Gaussian, having two distinct peaks as a result of the particle degradation process with this friable material. The fines generated probably provided the material with a degree of air retention, while the coarse fraction retained a competing degree of permeability.
It may well be that materials that have size distributions that deviate widely from the Gaussian form should be viewed as possibly troublesome . The above point concern- ing the particle size distribution is illustrated in Figure 13.15. This is a fractional size dis- tribution and it shows the twin peak effect very clearly. A friable material, having an initial Gaussian type size distribution, can readily change as shown in Figure 13.15 as a result of particle degradation.
By combining Figures 13.13 and 13.14 and plotting vibrated de-aeration constant against permeability factor, it has been possible to produce an empirical material clas- sification for conventional pneumatic conveying systems. Such a plot, including the location of data points, is shown in Figure 13.16.
The points in Figure 13.16 each represent a single material and have been labelled with their material identity number. It can be seen that the materials form quite distinct groups. Using the boundaries identified, together with the broad groupings, a classifi- cation has been produced. The grouping in the bottom left hand corner represents materials that have dense phase capability in the moving bed type flow regime. The group in the top right hand corner represent materials with dense phase capability in plug type flow. The centre grouping represents materials that are generally restricted to dilute phase flow in a conventional conveying system. The material classification is presented again in Figure 13.17 without hindrance of data.
The next correlation attempted was to provide an indication of the potential material flow rate that could be achieved through a pipeline, particularly in low velocity dense phase conveying. In Figure 12.15 it was shown that material flow rates could vary over an extremely wide range for identical conveying parameters. At very low vel- ocity conveying the potential variation shown in Figure 12.15 is almost 20:1 and so this illustrates the importance of such a correlation.
line pressure drop (1.0 and 1.5 bar). This indicates that the lower the value of permea- bility factor, which effectively means the poorer the air permeability and the better the air retention, the greater the material flow rate.
A discontinuity in the curves in Figure 13.18 is shown by dotted lines. The correl- ation described earlier indicates that materials with a permeability factor in the range indicated by the dotted lines will probably not convey in dense phase. From the single point to the right of the graph (polyethylene pellets) it would appear that high convey- ing rates are not likely to be achieved with large granular materials, even if they will convey in a non-suspension mode.
The values of vibrated de-aeration constant, as mentioned above, are obtained from data that is independent of permeametry, and so provide valuable support for correlations derived. Figure 13.19 is a plot of material flow rate values against vibrated de-aeration constant data. This shows that as the vibrated de-aeration constant decreases, which means that the air retention properties increase, the material flow rate increases. The two curves represent the two different conditions that were examined above. As with the other two aeration properties, the graph appears continuous, but there is a region, indi- cated by the dotted lines, where materials will not convey in non-suspension flow.
It should be noted that the above correlations are based on a rather limited number of materials and can, therefore, only indicate a trend. It is impossible with such a small number of materials to accurately identify boundaries or the ranges in which mater- ials will convey in dilute and dense phase flows. However, it is possible to predict, with more confidence than would otherwise be possible, whether a material will convey in dense phase or not. This is clearly a very large task, particularly in deriving the con- veying characteristics for such a large number of materials but it is hoped that such research will be continued so that correlations will become more generally available. | 2019-04-23T22:19:37 | http://machineryequipmentonline.com/hydraulics-and-pneumatics/material-property-influencesconveying-capability-correlations/ |
They said I was a simpleton; they said I was not master in my home. Some grinned at me without knowing why they grinned, and their fellows grinned also and shook their heads. My wife had set the horns on me, my father had disowned me, and my patients to a man had died. They clucked and groaned to think of me. When I passed, their eyebrows delivered bilious sermons. Over bowls of wine the talkative outdid themselves, inventing failures and humiliations for me to inhabit; and when they spoke to me directly they laughed behind their civil faces. And I, of course, said nothing; I did not complain. I felt that they were right so to peek at me; I shrugged and went on shrugging. I knew what ridicule I deserved, better than they. Why should I feel put-upon? But then I also did feel put-upon, I felt my miserable condition acutely and with drooping spirits. I allowed my gaze often to slide off to one side and run in a filthy abject stream away across the flags. I felt the injustice of all men and still worse of all their women; my days were a meticulously choreographed dance of dolour, and I wept at all times for myself.
What a repulsive character, you will say, I won’t abide it! I won’t be made to sit through the song of a cat like that! Indeed.
The women listened rapt, pale with imaginary anguish or droopy-lidded with worldliness or disbelief. The men exchanged a look or cringed or cracked their knuckles.
There was a very small silence, an eyeball of silence, before someone said, in a long, slow way, “No-o-o.” And the others shifted on the couches, relieved by this exhalation of doubt, and then there was a longer silence; or rather silence apart from the sound of T. sucking on the pit of a prune. | 2019-04-26T15:53:57 | http://www.regulov.com/blog/tag/tale |

INVITED REVIEW: Check out the Lamb Ouzi here!
It was weekend so we did another iftar outside via an invitation from Centro Barsha. Iftar is celebrated in C. Taste located in the lobby of the hotel. The hotel is pretty much close to the Mall of Emirates and just across the mosque. It’s very convenient for this month of Ramadan for their guests to go for prayers instead of a praying room.
Behind the hotel there’s a paid parking but since it was Friday, it’s FREE! So that’s where we conveniently parked. We came earlier this time so I can take better snaps and coverage of the iftar on insta stories.
Near the entrance of the restaurant, the qahwah and dried fruits (including dates) stations are there. Tables are well prepared with a traditional Ramadan lantern on it. There’s an outside seating as well wherein the buffet table for bread and soup are placed and behind it was a LED TV.
While going around I met Mr. Sami, the Asst. Manager who also helped around in the restaurant just like the other staffs and greeting guests. There were fine selections of cold & hot mezze, salad, main course and dessert. The Ramadan beverages were on the front part of the restaurant and some soft beverages just opposite the main course buffet area.
They got Shawarma and Lamb Ouzi stations which were finishing fast! Same goes with other dishes which is so fascinating! I wanted to highlight few of them which has indeed left an irresistible taste to my tastebuds i.e. Lamb Ouzi that has a fragrant scent and you can determine the cinnamon out of it, it has a flavourful taste and the meat is really tender. It’s the best ouzi we’ve tried so far; Fattoush has an incredible dressing. Although it doesn’t have the fried kubus to give some crispy texture, the dressing alone gave justice to it; I’ve tasted for the first time this Lamb Shakriya and it was great! You will agree with me that flavour is not the only important factor to the food but the tenderness of the meat as well right? Would you enjoy chewing meat like a bubble gum? Anyway, this is superb because the meat is soft like cotton. Um Ali is my favourite arabic dessert. This was done perfect not too milky and not too sweet.
Kudos to the team! Especially to head chef, Chef Hamza whom I came to know just joined very recently. Guests have enjoyed their meal for sure and it was a busy night! Thanks to Jasmine too who invited us which I finally met during that night.
Haven’t that made you think to reserve? Click here and enjoy iftar with your family and friends. There’s 20% off for 10 adults or more and kids below 12 yrs old is FREE which normally starts from below 6 yrs. What else? Wifi is also FREE to make you stay connected.
See you on our next iftar adventure!
I have not yet tasted Lamb Shakriya…But Um Ali is also my favourite and i love it as a dessert. | 2019-04-21T20:14:48 | https://greatthingsinuae.com/2017/06/07/invited-review-check-out-the-lamb-ouzi-here/ |

The Hong Kong Jockey Club often promotes Hong Kong horse racing as the pride of Hong Kong society. This marketing strategy is supported by some undeniable facts. The G1 races organising by it are widely-recognised, which attract outstanding business corporations to sponsor the prizes sustainably. The quality of its veterinary clinical services is world-class, which has been repeatedly lauded by overseas trainers after they sent their racehorse(s) to compete in Sha Tin racecourse (turf track). Its anti-doping testing is one of the strictest in the horse racing world. Its revenues are enormous to the extent that it can play an influential role in philanthropy. One can seldom find an elite sport institute or a charity organisation comparable to it in Hong Kong.
Yet despite assuming a renowned position in the world of horse racing, the enemies of the HKJC are probably as many as its supporters. For instance, many criticised that it often promotes gambling which is almost equivalent to encourage others addicting to opium, but the controversy is nothing new so that it is not worthwhile to repeat the old arguments here. Nonetheless, another line of criticism lies in the notion of animal rights which increasingly seizes people’s attention and is thus worth more public deliberations.
Hong Kong animal rights activists highlight that the so-called “achievements” of the HKJC are built upon the exploitation of the thoroughbred racehorses, such as acquiescing to trainers’ arrangement of over-intensive training and competition schedules and jockeys’ overuse of whip in the races. In other words, they vexed that racehorses are pushed too harsh for maximising the chance of winning at the expense of their health condition. Meanwhile, they blamed that the legs of racehorses are bred to be excessively thin so that they are injury-prone. Once the racehorses are severely injured in the racecourse or are retired with serious injuries, they have little choice but to receive the so-called “animal euthanasia” involuntarily. They thus insist that horse racing is an inhumane activity and urge to ban it in Hong Kong.
However, most of those criticisms are misguided.
There is no completely objective standard of reasonable training schedule, and it is often difficult to judge whether an injury suffered is a pure sport incident or is attributed to trainers’ or riders’ negligence. The huge weight differences between racehorses and jockeys suggest that more researches are needed to prove that jockeys impose significant pain to racehorses by using whip. Meanwhile, there is also insufficient research finding to support the claim that the legs of racehorses are excessively thin, and the activists are unable to tell the public that what the reasonable thickness for the legs of racehorses is supposed to be in order to prevent them from suffering leg injuries more effectively.
Moreover, imposing “animal euthanasia” is unavoidable if the racehorses had any serious injury that obstructs them having basic healthy life irreversibly, judging by the HKJC veterinary team solely without any intervention from other departments. And the critics of “animal euthanasia” often ignore the historical context that thousands of retired racehorses, if they were abandoned or released to the natural environment by their owner(s), were absorbed by the black market or illegal racing entities every year in some other states.
It is noted that the practices of settling the retired racehorses in Hong Kong are different with that of other states. In the 2000s and early 2010s, most retired racehorses in Hong Kong, except a few who were exported overseas by their owners or were imposed “animal euthanasia” by the HKJC veterinary team, were sent to Beas River Equestrian Centre for rehabilitation and training, given that the veterinarians believed their health and temperament is good enough to receive re-training as some Lead Horses, showjumpers or the like. Many of them either ended up staying at one of three local public riding schools or were sent to New Zealand, Europe and China for equestrian development. Given that the space for settling retired racehorses is limited for recent few years, the HKJC has already required the horse owners to pay the fees for sending their racehorses overseas after their retirement before they were allowed to register in Hong Kong (while the quarantine issue remains in Australia). Therefore, it is counterfactual to criticise that the HKJC is keen to impose “animal euthanasia” to healthy retired racehorses nowadays.
Crucially, there is no guarantee that the welfare of Hong Kong racehorses would be enhanced after the abolition of Hong Kong horse racing. We’re now living in the globalisation era. The racehorse owners can arrange their racehorses to compete in another corner of the world, where is unlikely able to offer as much protection as the HKJC to racehorses, easily.
While many of the activists’ accusations lack enough scientific or factual support at this moment, at least one of their critiques is right. That is, traditional Chinese newspapers reporting overwhelmingly focuses on the odds of races and the trainers’ and jockeys’ perceptions of the performance of racehorses in training. The welfare and detail of injuries of racehorses, unfortunately, is briefly mentioned occasionally. And according to my observation for more than 15 years, the veterinary records of racehorses would be deleted in their official profile webpage soon after they are retired, though some of them could still be assessed via some other pages of the HKJC’s official website. Consequently, it is difficult for the public, especially the beginners, to assess to the relevant information about the welfare of Hong Kong’s retired racehorses in detail. It is thus argued that the HKJC should enhance the transparency and provide more factual responses to media enquiry as soon as possible, given that the issue of animal welfare in horse racing is no longer irrelevant to the public.
Also, it should be noted that, although those Hong Kong racehorses that are retired for health reasons, such as suffering from serious tendon injuries, bleeding or heart irregularities, it’s still legal for their owners to export or sell them to some other states for extending their racing career in principle, and there are some relevant cases of it. It is much worried that their welfare is ill-protected, though there are a few successful stories framing by the traditional Chinese media or by horse owners in social media.
Furthermore, ensuring that the decent healthy retired racehorses are sent overseas does not imply that they must not be killed or be cruelled. Therefore, the HKJC shall be responsible for enhancing the welfare of retired racehorses through purchasing prairie or land to build paddock outside Hong Kong for settling them in the long run. The owners should be imposed the fees not only for sending them overseas after their retirement but also for supporting the post-race live of racehorses before they were allowed to register in Hong Kong. The fees should be refunded only when the owners signed an agreement for arranging their retired racehorse(s) to breed or to retire in some reputable paddocks or in their private pasture, subjecting to scrutiny. In other words, selling their racehorses for non-breeding purposes should not be refunded so as to discourage the owners to evade the responsibility of taking care of them by agreeing on a free transfer or selling it(them) in low price. This arrangement is arguably capable of requiring the owners to bear the responsibility but at the same time defending that they should not be morally blamed solely because of deceiving by their agent(s) who is(are) paid for settling the retired racehorses supposedly (Meanwhile, killing the retired racehorses often fails to contribute to the world significantly. They should not be regarded as a reliable source of meat because quite many of them receive the treatment of analgesics and anabolic steroids in their career, which is adversarial to the health of meat-eaters).
2 September will mark the beginning of new Hong Kong horse racing season. There will be little surprise that the HKJC will re-emphasise on its administrative excellence and the racing competitiveness under its arrangement. However, the old problems remain unsolved, and they would be exacerbated if the loopholes were realised by more principled agents. Nonetheless, if it determined to tackle those problems, then the HKJC would be able to become a true leader of the horse racing world. This will be the true pride of Hong Kong society as well.

The job market for healthcare has changed since 2016! Check out our latest version of this article: The Best Online Healthcare Degrees 2018. These top online degree programs in healthcare present you with the best opportunities to make the most of your education.
While investing in any degree will likely have a big effect on your career trajectory, if you choose to major in health care, you may be looking at particularly high returns. That's because many health care jobs are in high demand and will continue to be for some time, thanks to an aging population, longer life expectancies, and increased access to health services.
There are a wide range of careers available in the field, from assistant-level patient care to highly specialized areas that require advanced training. What's great about choosing a health care major, however, is that you can always decide to build upon your knowledge and explore new career paths as you gain experience.
If you're more interested in health issues that affect an entire population versus one-on-one patient care, a public health degree could be a great choice for you. In this career, you'll work on important tasks such as infectious disease prevention and control, public health education, community initiatives, and more.
Becoming a registered nurse could be a smart career move, as there simply aren't enough of them to fill available positions nationwide. Although you can become an RN with just an associate degree, RNs today often choose to pursue a bachelor's degree before taking the national licensing exam, since many healthcare organizations prefer that credential. Nursing students take a combination of classroom lectures in the sciences, and practical clinical training.
Very similar to a general nursing degree, a family practice nurse learns how to care for patients of all ages. These professionals typically work in health care clinics, physician's offices, or hospitals.
Yes, there's another nursing degree on this list (we told you that they're in high demand). This degree specializes in an area of nursing that deals with mental health. Coursework will have more of a psychiatric bent than the general nursing degree route.
From working with an aging population likely to develop hearing issues, to working with young children who have hearing or speech developmental delays, this major will position you for a healthy career diagnosing and treating ear and speech problems.
Another important area of health care that is more on the diagnostic side of things is medical radiologic technology. This degree can help prepare you to become an ultrasound technician, use X-ray equipment, and/or focus on radiation therapy.
This pre-professional degree program is focused around the science of speech, hearing, and language. Like audiology and speech pathology, this field of study prepares students to treat people with speech delays, hearing problems, and other related issues.
If you've been for a dental checkup recently, you probably realized that you spend more time with the dental hygienist than the dentist. This fast-growing field is in need of new graduates as people's dental care needs increase. Hygienists perform cleanings, take X-rays, and help educate patients on proper oral hygiene.
Coming in as the fourth nursing degree in the top 10, adult health nurse programs focus primarily on treating and managing the care of adult patients. Learning about the many chronic health conditions that adults commonly develop is a major focus of these studies.
In keeping with the theme of an exploding health care market, pharmacists are needed now more than ever. As more and more medicines are developed and access to treatment improves, pharmacies and hospitals will be looking to grow their pharmacy staff. | 2019-04-20T23:03:37 | https://www.onlinedegrees.com/degree360/student-focus/best-health-care-degrees-2016.html |
Home » Blog » SuDS – a Matter of Definition?
If you asked a developer, a planning officer and a consulting engineer for a definition of SuDS, do you think you would get the same answer?
I have a suspicion that their answers might well be significantly different. In a recent parliamentary inquiry into future flood resilience, it was suggested that we have a problem with the definition of SuDS.
If this is true, then how can we hope to use SuDS effectively to protect our infrastructure, property and our environment from flood risk and water pollution, when those who regulate, design and deliver SuDS have different impressions of what they are? Not to mention environmentalists, politicians, academics, proprietary equipment manufacturers like ourselves, landscape architects and so on.
In his evidence to the committee Philip Barnes, Director for Land and Planning, Barratt Developments Plc, suggested there could be a “definitional issue”. He pointed out that 67% of Barratt schemes involve some above-ground drainage solutions. “The policy is clear that that is where we should go.” The reasons for not doing so might be because it was not technically possible, or because the planning authority might actually prefer a below-ground solution that enabled more houses to be built, he said.
I acknowledge that these are just short extracts from a thorough and far-reaching inquiry with many expert contributions, which has still to publish its conclusions. However the comments did make me stop to think for a moment about what exactly we mean by “sustainable” in the context of drainage.
Do we mean a drainage scheme is sustainable if it ensures that no more water is discharged from a site than the predevelopment or greenfield rate? In this sense, sustainable means they avoid unnecessary discharge to our already overloaded sewer network.
Or should sustainable be interpreted principally as the use of ‘natural’ or ‘green’ above-ground structures and techniques? Or is a sustainable drainage scheme better described as one that closely mimics natural drainage paths and processes? We might describe this as “Engineering Nature’s Way”, in fact.
At Hydro International, we believe our proprietary stormwater products, such as Hydro-Brake® Flow Controls and the Hydro StormTrain® Series contribute to this process and are sustainable, not least because they do not need power and require minimal maintenance. They can also be used to enable soft-engineered above-ground features.
To look elsewhere for a balanced definition, we could turn to the four pillars of SuDS, as defined in The SuDS Manual (CIRIA C753), suggesting SuDS should aim to achieve not just water quantity, but also water quality, amenity and biodiversity.
To me, the four pillars are the right aspirations for a sustainable outcome, with which few would disagree, although it may not be possible or necessary to achieve that outcome in each case.
However, using the best means to achieve that outcome is an entirely different matter. Seeing SuDS only as above-ground or ‘natural’ can be very limiting and could restrict our ability to encourage their wider use. Equally using only hard-engineered, below-ground components may miss opportunities for making our urban environments more liveable, as well as promoting green spaces and wildlife in our towns and cities.
So, a toolbox of components and approaches must be available according to site-specific opportunities, the soil and ground conditions and the topography of a site. There may also be hard choices to be made in terms of land-take and construction costs to avoid making a development unviable.
The Government’s commitment to review SuDS delivery in England was prompted during the progress of the Housing and Planning Bill after pressure to reinstate previously-ditched proposals to remove the developer’s right to connect to the sewer.
But if SuDS are to be mandatory without exception – according to exactly what definition? On the basis of the sustainable outcomes they achieve, or according to the components used?
If we get the definitions wrong, there is a danger we could end up applying above-ground SuDS inappropriately without fully understanding their engineering performance and thereby compromising flood resilience.
So, should the Government provide a cast-iron definition as part of its review? Should we have much more detailed and prescriptive technical standards to regulate the use of SuDS components of techniques? (so far the devolved regions all have different responses to this) Should we have more regulation – or less, leaving more to the the judgement of local communities?
It feels like these issues are still not completely resolved. Could it be that addressing the need for a more robust long-term solution to ownership and maintenance for SuDS might be the missing link in achieving a framework that will make matters clearer?

The nation's leading Spanish-language television networks, Univision and Telemundo, continue to pay the price for doubling and tripling down on pushing unfettered immigration policies, and declining numbers have now led to layoffs and more.
Horrible disasters like the recent Category-4 Hurricanes Harvey and Irma focus attention on heart-wrenching stories of lost lives, near misses and property destroyed in the storm or ravaged by looters. They also have an uncanny way of illustrating the many people who will pull together in a crisis and how the benefits of capitalism are often used to help those in need.

I don’t know when the last time you shopped for lamps was, but I’m here to tell you; lamps are expensive!! When we re-did our bedroom, I knew I wanted a pair of matching lamps and I knew I didn’t want to spend a fortune on them. When I spotted this pair during a recent trip to a local thrift store, I knew they had potential!
They were very ornate, but it was hard to tell due to how dark the finish was on them. They were in perfect condition although they lacked shades, so I knew a fresh coat of pain would be all they’d need. As luck would have it, I found two brand-new matching shades in just the right size at the same thrift store. They were perfect together!
I gave them a fresh coat of ASCP in Old White and used a pretty iridescent gilding paste to accent the details. I paid $8 each for the lamps and $2 each for the shades, so all in for $20, I had two beautiful new-to-me lamps. I could have purchased maybe one shade for that if I’d bought them brand new. They work perfectly in our bedroom!! | 2019-04-20T01:02:11 | https://ashlymichelledesigns.com/2018/07/12/thrift-store-lamp-makeover-1/ |
Two students attending high schools in Monroe County recently earned perfect ACT scores.
Sam Schrader, a senior at Gibault Catholic High School in Waterloo, and Ian Boyer-Edwards, a senior at Columbia High School, each recorded the top composite score of 36 on the ACT test.
Sam is the son of Mark and Michelle Schrader of Smithton; Ian is the son of Stephen and Kathryn Boyer-Edwards of Columbia.
Nationally, while the actual number of students earning a composite score of 36 varies from year to year, on average, less than one-tenth of one percent of students who take the ACT earn the top score.
Among test takers in the high school graduating class of 2013, only 1,162 of more than 1.8 million students earned a composite score of 36.
David Merz of Freeburg also recorded a 36 on his ACT. The ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science. Each test is scored on a scale of 1 to 36, and a stu- dent’s composite score is the average of the four test scores.
“While test scores are just one of the many criteria that most colleges consider when making admission decisions, your exceptional ACT composite score should prove helpful as you pursue your education and career goals,” ACT CEO Jon Whitmore stated in letters to Schrader and Boyer-Edwards recognizing their exceptional achievement.
ACT test scores are accepted by all major U.S. colleges, and perfect scores of 36 provide colleges with evidence of student readiness for the academic rigors that lie ahead.
The three area students qualify for National Merit Scholarships to be awarded in the spring. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest scoring entrants in each state. | 2019-04-18T16:50:05 | http://www.republictimes.net/two-local-students-score-perfect-on-act/ |
How do I find a heart rhythm doctor?
There are several ways to find a heart rhythm doctor. The first would be to ask your primary care doctor or, if you have one, your cardiologist. Secondly, the Heart Rhythm Society can be contacted on-line to give you names of doctors in your area using this link, and enter “any” when asked for specialty. Not all of these doctors will necessarily be experts in ablation, but they all should be experts in arrhythmia management. Thirdly, talk to your friends – they may have seen an electrophysiologist and can tell you first hand about them. Lastly, you could call large hospitals or medical schools in your area and ask whether any electrophysiologists are on staff.
How do I find a doctor experienced in ablation?
Do you have advanced tools in case my ablation is complicated e.g. 3D mapping systems (Carto or ESI) and a cryoablation system? (a fully equipped facility is important!) If not, are you sure you will not need those tools?
If quoted risk is different, find out why?
Will I be put out (general anesthesia) and if so, will either a CRNA (certified registered nurse anesthetist) or anesthesiologist (an MD or DO) do that part of things? (the electrophysiologist doing the ablation needs to be free to concentrate on the ablation).
Doctors should not be defensive about answering these questions. If they are, find another doctor – this is about your life, not their ego. Some doctors could ask one of their patients who has had your type of ablation to contact you to tell you what it was like. | 2019-04-22T01:03:23 | http://heartracing.com/patients/finding.an.electrophysiologist.asp |

If you're a regular online bingo player, you may have already thought about getting involved in your favourite site's VIP programme.
Unsure how to get started? Here's everything you need to know about what becoming a VIP bingo player could offer you and how to start climbing that ladder.
What is a VIP bingo player?
Most online bingo sites offer the chance for their players to reach VIP status and work their way up the ranks towards better bonuses. Getting involved in a VIP bingo club is a great way to get more out of your favourite site and earn yourself some great rewards.
‘VIP bingo player’ is a title which most sites give to their most loyal customers and if you’re lucky enough to get involved in one of these exclusive clubs, you’ll be rewarded for your loyalty through different perks on the site.
The best news is that becoming a VIP couldn’t be easier and once you’ve reached this status, you’ll gain access to lots of perks, including free bingo games, exclusive tournaments and generous deposit bonuses.
Is it worth becoming VIP?
Being a VIP bingo player gives you many, many perks which makes it rewarding. It’s not just the cool title which makes being a VIP worthwhile – there are many bonuses you’ll get once you’re a VIP member, and these only get better the higher your level.
As well as being able to enter exclusive tournaments, VIP members will also benefit from giveaways and free bingo games, all of which help you earn more points and increase your level even further.
VIP players can also often get more bang for their buck. Many sites offer better deposit bonuses and incentives to those who join the club, meaning that every time you deposit, you’ll earn a better cash back bonus!
As a VIP, you’ll also be able to play free games on many sites, so you’ll be in with a chance of winning without having to spend any of your own cash!
These sorts of benefits can differ from site to site, however, all bingo sites that offer a VIP scheme will reward their loyal players in some way.
If you’re a regular player, it’s definitely worth looking into becoming a VIP on your favourite site. If you play often, you should hopefully see your VIP status rise quickly and you’ll start to earn rewards for the points you’ve gained.
Just like any loyalty scheme, it’s a good way to get more out of what you’re putting in and increase your own benefits.
Most bingo sites offer slightly different ways for you to become a VIP member and start reaping the rewards, but the great news is that it couldn’t be easier to get started.
Your favourite site is likely to have its own set of rules on how to become a VIP member and the schemes differ slightly on each site, so we’d recommend reading what’s involved in your favourite sites programme and how to get involved to ensure that it’s best suited to you.
There are a number of ways to become a VIP which are common on most bingo sites. Many sites will automatically enrol you into their VIP schemes as soon as you sign up, which keeps things easy and means that there’s no additional sign up time involved.
It also means you can start making the most of your VIP status straight away, instead of spending hours playing games just to reach the first level.
Being a VIP bingo player is all about increasing your rank on the site and reaching those higher levels of VIP status. The best way to do this is to build up points.
Most bingo sites offer a VIP loyalty scheme which allows you to earn more points the more games you play. Rewards can range from better conversion rates to access to VIP only rooms.
VIP ranking systems can differ depending on which site you choose to play on. Many operate using the standard levels of bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Each of these levels requires you to have a different number of points in order to reach them, and the higher your level, the more you’ll be rewarded.
Basically, the more you put in, the more you’ll get out! Levels do differ on each site, so it’s worth checking the points system on your chosen site to make sure you know exactly what you’ll need in order to reach the next tier.
Before deciding to become a VIP bingo player on your favourite site, it’s important to make sure that you’ve read the fine print and looked into what your chosen scheme can offer you, as well as what it needs from you.
Climbing the ladder as a VIP bingo player can be a big commitment, and it’s worth making sure that you’ve chosen the right scheme for you to invest your time and money in.
As all bingo sites offer slightly different VIP schemes, each with different rules and rewards, it’s worth reading up on a few different ones before deciding which one is right for you.
You may discover one which fits perfectly with the type of benefits you’re looking for, while others may not be quite the right thing. Be sure to do some comparisons before signing up!
You’ll also want to make sure that you’ll be able to make the most of any loyalty points which you earn while playing as a VIP player. Before getting started, be sure to read up on how the points system on your chosen site works so you can be sure that you’re making the most of any points which you earn and cashing out on time.
Every VIP scheme is slightly different, so be sure to choose the one which you know you’re going to love the most. Once you’ve decided on the perfect package for you, get out there and start earning those points. Who knows what your next reward could be?! | 2019-04-21T04:45:17 | https://onlinebingo.co.uk/guides/become-bingo-vip |
Aid is unlikely to encourage the development and growth of the countries affected from natural disasters. This study scrutinizes that it is not necessary that every commitment has to be fulfilled. As in this research, it is found that the level of commitment of aid for the flood affected country of Pakistan was quite higher than the level of aid actually provided by allied-countries of Pakistan. Ironically so many countries have only made commitments for aid, just to prove on media that they are responsive and deeply concerned but in real they were observed not responsive and responsible while fulfilling their promises for catering the human welfare. | 2019-04-25T00:23:01 | http://sajms.iurc.edu.pk/paper.php?id=Spring2013V7N1P4 |

Easy Vegan Chestnut & Spinach Tart Recipe that’s great for winter!
This vegan chestnut & spinach tart recipe is a tasty and simple dish which is especially enjoyable in the winter! The thick and creamy sauce along with the hearty chestnuts feels like an indulgent treat when in fact it’s a very nutritious and low fat meal!
It can be served as a starter simply on its own or enjoyed as part of a main course. We like to serve this with wholegrain mustard mashed potato and roasted root vegetables. Delicious!
Cashew cream is a great for vegans to add that creamy thick texture. To prepare this you will need 100g of Unsalted Cashew nuts. Soak them in a small bowl with just enough water to cover them. Ideally it is best to soak for at least 3 hours but if you don’t have time you can simmer them for 20 minutes over a medium heat or until soft.
Once the Cashews are soft place them and the water into a blender and mix until they form a smooth paste. It should resemble Hummus and be creamy in texture. If it is still a little thick you can add extra water.
Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate. You can keep this mixture in the fridge for up to 4 days or you can freeze.
Start by lining your small tarts with two sheets of Filo Pastry in each tin. Place the squares so the edges are overlapping at different stages.
Finely chop the white onion and Garlic. Fry these in the Olive Oil on a low heat until soft.
Season with Salt, Pepper and freshly grated Nutmeg to taste. Stir the mixture for a few minutes.
Now add 150ml Soya Milk and 1 Table spoon of Cashew cream.
Mix over the heat until the Milk has become a thick, creamy sauce.
Now spoon the mixture into the Filo pastry tins and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the Filo Pastry is golden brown.

What has been stated by the scholars is that Paradise is in the seventh Heaven and Hell is in the lowest level of the earth.
Al-Bayhaqi narrated in al-Ba‘th wa’n-Nushoor (455), with a da‘eef isnaad from Ibn Mas‘ood that he said: Paradise is in the seventh, highest heaven and Hell is in the seventh, lowest earth. Then he recited the verses (interpretation of the meaning): “Nay! Verily, the Record (writing of the deeds) of Al-Abrar (the pious who fear Allah and avoid evil), is (preserved) in ‘Illiyyeen” [al-Mutaffifeen 83:18] and “Nay! Truly, the Record (writing of the deeds) of the Fujjar (disbelievers, sinners, evil-doers and wicked) is (preserved) in Sijjeen” [al-Mutaffifeen 83:7].
Al-Bayhaqi said immediately after that: The hadith of al-Bara’ ibn ‘Aazib and Abu Hurayrah about the punishment of the grave, and what they narrated from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) about the location of the soul of the believer and of the disbeliever are indicative of that. End quote.
Al-Haakim (8698) narrated from ‘Abdullah ibn Salaam that Paradise is in the heaven and Hell is in the earth. Classed as saheeh by al-Haakim, and adh-Dhahabi agreed with him.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him) said: ‘Atiyyah narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas, who said: Paradise is in the seventh heaven and Hell is in the seventh earth. This was narrated by Abu Nu‘aym.
Ibn Abi’d-Dunya narrated with his isnaad from Qataadah who said: They used to say that Paradise was in the seventh heaven and that Hell was in the seventh earth.
Some of them quoted as evidence for that the fact that Allah, may He be exalted, told us that the disbelievers will be shown to the Fire morning and evening, i.e., during the barzakh period [between death and the resurrection] and He told us that no gates of heaven will be opened to them. This indicates that Hell is in the earth.
End quote from at-Takhweef min an-Naar (p. 62-63).
Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: Where are Paradise and Hell?
The location of Hell is in the earth, but some of the scholars said that it is the oceans, and others said that it is in the centre of the earth. What appears to be the case is that it is in the earth, but we do not know exactly where it is in the earth.
The evidence that Hell is in the earth is the verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says: (interpretation of the meaning): “Nay! Truly, the Record (writing of the deeds) of the Fujjar (disbelievers, sinners, evil-doers and wicked) is (preserved) in Sijjeen” [al-Mutaffifeen 83:7]. Sijjeen is the lowest earth, and Hell is in the earth.
There are hadiths that have been narrated concerning this, but they are da‘eef (weak). There are also reports from the early generations, such as Ibn ‘Abbaas and Ibn Mas‘ood, and this is the apparent meaning of the Qur’an. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “Verily, those who belie Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and treat them with arrogance, for them the gates of heaven will not be opened, and they will not enter Paradise until the camel goes through the eye of the needle (which is impossible)” [al-A‘raaf 7:40].
Those who disbelieve in the signs of Allah and are too arrogant to believe in them will undoubtedly be in Hell.

This abridged version of “Roots and Flowers of Quaker Nontheism” was compiled for the convenience of students of Quaker nontheism. An ellipses ( . . . ) or brackets ([ ]) indicate where material has been omitted. The original is a chapter in Quaker and Naturalist Too (Morning Walk Press of Iowa City, IA, in 2014, is available from www.quakerbooks.org). The chapter includes text (pp. 65-103), bibliography (pp. 147-157), source notes (pp. 165-172), and references to 20 quotations that appear elsewhere in the book but are not in this abridged version.
This is a study of the roots of Quaker nontheism today. Nontheist Friends are powerfully drawn to Quaker practices but they do not accompany this with a faith in God. Nontheism is an umbrella term covering atheists, agnostics, secular humanists, pantheists, wiccaists, and others. You can combine nontheist with other terms and call yourself an agnostic nontheist or atheist nontheist, and so on. Some nontheists have set aside one version of God (e.g. as a person) and not another (e.g. as a word for good or your highest values). A negative term like nontheism is convenient because we describe our views so many different ways when speaking positively.
Many of the Quakers mentioned here were not nontheists but are included because they held views, often heretical in their time, that helped Friends become more inclusive. In the early days this included questioning the divinity of Christ, the divine inspiration of the Bible, and the concepts of heaven, hell, and immortality. Later Friends questioned miracles, the trinity, and divine creation. Recently the issue has been whether Quakers have to be Christians, or theists. All this time there were other changes happening in speech, clothing, marriage practices, and so on. Quakerism has always been in progress.
Views held today are no more authentic because they were present in some form in earlier years. However, it is encouraging to Quaker nontheists today to find their views and their struggle prefigured among Friends of an earlier day.
In the following excerpts we learn about Quaker skeptics of the past and the issues they stood for. These are the roots that support the flowers of contemporary Quaker nontheism. . . .
There were skeptical Quakers who asserted views such as that God created but does not run the universe, that Jesus was a man and not divine, that much of theology is superstition and divides people unnecessarily, and that the soul is mortal.
An example is John Bartram (1699–1777) of Philadelphia. . . . He was a farmer and perhaps the best known botanist in the American colonies. Bartram had a mystical feeling for the presence of God in nature and he supported the rational study of nature. In 1758 he was disowned by Darby Meeting for saying Jesus was not divine, but he continued to worship at that meeting and was buried there.
In 1761 he carved a quote from Alexander Pope over the door of his greenhouse: “Slave to no sect, who takes no private road, but looks through Nature up to Nature’s God.” In 1743 he wrote, “When we are upon the topic of astrology, magic and mystic divinity, I am apt to be a little troublesome, by inquiring into the foundation and reasonableness of these notions” In a letter to Benjamin Rush he wrote, “I hope a more diligent search will lead you into the knowledge of more certain truths than all the pretended revelations of our mystery mongers and their inspirations.” [#5] . . .
There were several Free Quaker meetings, the longest lasting being the one in Philadelphia from 1781 to 1834.
Barnard also wrote, “under the present state of the Society I can with humble reverent thankfulness rejoice in the consideration that I was made the Instrument of bringing their Darkness to light.” [#9] On hearing Elias Hicks in 1819, she is said to have commented that these were the ideas for which she had been disowned. He visited her in 1824, a year before she died.
David Duncan (c.1825–1871), a former Presbyterian who had trained for the ministry, was a merchant and manufacturer in Manchester, England. He married Sarah Ann Cooke Duncan and became a Friend in 1852. He was a republican, a social radical, a Free Thinker, and an aggressive writer and debater. Duncan began to doubt Quaker views about God and the Bible and associated the Light Within with intellectual freedom. He developed a following at the Friends Institute in Manchester and the publication of his Essays and Reviews in 1861 brought the attention of the Elders. In it he wrote, “If the principle were more generally admitted that Christianity is a life rather than a formula, theology would give place to religion . . . and that peculiarly bitter spirit which actuates religionists would no longer be associated with the profession of religion.” [#12] In 1871 he was disowned and then died suddenly of smallpox. Sarah Ann Duncan and about 14 others resigned from their meeting and started what came to be called the Free Friends.
The Progressive Friends at Longwood (near Philadelphia) were committed to peace, and the rights of women and blacks, and were also concerned about church governance and doctrine. . . . Between 1844 and 1874 they separated from other Hicksite Quakers and formed a monthly meeting and a yearly meeting. They asked, “What right had one Friend, or one group of Friends, to judge the leadings of others?” [#16] They objected to partitions between men’s and women’s meetings and the authority of meeting elders and ministers over the expression of individual conscience and other actions of the members. There were similar separations in Indiana Yearly Meeting (Orthodox) in the 1840s, Green Plain Quarterly Meeting in Ohio in 1843 and in Genesee Yearly Meeting (Hicksite) in northern New York and Michigan and in New York Yearly Meeting in 1846 and 1848.
Between 1863 and 1874 many of the Friends at Longwood were taken back into membership by their meetings. By the time of the birth of modern liberal Quakerism at the turn of the century, many Friends in unprogrammed meetings had become progressives.
“There is a broad distinction between religion and theology. The one is a natural, human experience common to all well–organized minds. The other is a system of speculations about the unseen and the unknowable, which the human mind has no power to grasp or explain, and these speculations vary with every sect, age, and type of civilization. No one knows any more of what lies beyond our sphere of action than thou and I, and we know nothing.” [#22] . . .
The conference of Friends in Manchester in 1895 was a clear declaration of their views, as was the first Summer School (on the British model) at Haverford College in 1900, the founding of Friends General Conference in 1900 and American Friends Service Committee in 1917.
Some Friends worked their entire lives to bring together dissident branches of the Religious Society of Friends. Examples are Henry Cadbury and Rufus Jones. They based their call for reunification on the same grounds that nontheist Friends rely on today. These included an emphasis on practice rather than beliefs; the idea that Quakers need not hold the same beliefs; describing Quaker beliefs in the meeting discipline by quoting from the writings of individuals; the idea that religiously inspired action can be associated with many different faiths; the love of diversity within the Religious Society of Friends; the view that religion is a matter our daily lives; and the emphasis on Jesus as a person rather than doctrine about Jesus.
These bases for reunification among Friends also serve to include nonmystics, nonChristians, and people of other faiths including nontheist faiths.
At regular intervals during the history of Friends there is discussion about whether we have to be Christian to be Quaker. This is often in the form of an exchange of letters in a Quaker journal. One such flurry was prompted by two letters from Watchman in The Friend in 1943 and 1944 (reprinted in 1994).
The Quaker Universalist Group was formed in Britain in 1979, and the Quaker Universalist Fellowship in the United States in 1983. Among the founders were nontheists John Linton and Kingdon W. Swayne. It is a diverse movement. For the early Friends universalism meant that any person could be saved by Christ. Today, for some Friends universalism is about accepting diversity of religious faith. For others it is an active searching for common aspects of different faiths. Universalism can also mean an effort to learn from each other and live together well and love each other, differences and all.
Over the years, many Quakers stood against the doctrinal views of their times. They represent a continual stream of dissent and a struggle for inclusiveness that started with the birth of our Society. What was rejected at one point was accepted later. Much of what Friends believe today would have been heresy in the past.
Through the years, certain traditions in the Religious Society of Friends have supported the presence of doctrinal skeptics. This included being noncreedal, tolerant, and universalist; concern for experience rather than beliefs; authority of the individual as well as the community, interpreting what we read; and the conviction that Quaker practice and Quaker membership do not require agreement on religious doctrine.
Many Quaker practices are typically explained in terms of God, Spirit or the Inner Light, such as worship, leadings, discernment, the sense of the meeting, and continual revelation. Nontheist Friends embrace the practices without the explanation.
This is a look at Quaker nontheism flowering today. Nontheist Friends, by and large, do not experience, accept or believe in a deity. As a negatively defined term, nontheism provides a broad tent for people who hold many different positive views.
In general, nontheists support diversity of thought in the Religious Society of Friends. They bless what theists and nontheists bring to their meetings and the opportunities that come with diversity. They have been cautious about forming their own organizations because they want to join rather than separate from theists Friends. They hope we will accept each other as Quakers, without adjectives.
The material gathered here represents the flowering of Quaker nontheism.
These Friends were humanists who showed a tender concern for religious skeptics but they did not publicly address the issue of nontheism. We do not know what their personal views were (or are) and it doesn’t matter. It is enough that they helped create the Religious Society of Friends of today that includes meetings that welcome nontheists.
The minute was not approved.
The first public expression of nontheism among Friends that I know of was the Humanistic Society of Friends, founded in Los Angeles in 1939. Many of the members had been Quakers, including their leader, Lowell H. Coate (1889–1973), but their literature did not mention Quakers. Coate later served as editor of The Humanist World, American Rationalist, and The Rationalist. The Society published The Humanist Friend, from 1939 to 1943, and continued as an organization until it became a chapter of the American Humanist Association in 1987. Three years later the chapter became a division of AHA. It was given responsibility for ministerial and religious humanism programs.
In 2004 and 2011-14 there were workshops at the Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre in Birmingham, England, and in 2005 at Pendle Hill, a Quaker center for study and contemplation near Philadelphia. These were attended by about 30 people each time. A strong desire was expressed to support other Friends, whatever their religious views are, and to be supported in turn.
There have also been nontheist Friends events at Powell House in New York Yearly Meeting, Ben Lomond Quaker Center in Pacific Yearly Meeting, and in other locations.
There have always been nontheist Friends, although they have not always spoken out. There have also been Friends whose views were compatible with nontheism, such as the view that Jesus was human like the rest of us, or that the Inner Light can be identified with natural processes such as the human conscience.
Since then nontheism has gradually emerged into public view. Survey data support the sense that there are nontheists in Quaker meetings today, and probably more than are generally known. Many of them may be silent for positive reasons, being comfortable in their meetings and having more important things to talk about.
It is good to work for acceptance of diverse philosophical points of view among Friends, especially views not held by the person speaking. Practices that facilitate the inclusion of one set of people, such as nontheists, are practices that are good for the meeting as a whole.
On these pages you have read about an incredible community of religious thinkers. It has been a joy for me to bring you together with them.

BX8: Fortune Cat – CRYPTOPOP!
Lots of new Cryptopops coming up soon! This Japanese Fortune Cat (which we see more often in Chinese restaurants these days) is the second entry in my #CryptoForChange series for BX8.io, my startup BloomX’s ongoing ICO. I’m rendering a whole collection of Asian iconography and am really excited to share the rest of the illustrations very soon.
Come visit the BX8 website and see how we’re teaching Asians how to use cryptocurrencies safely, and see me in person representing both BloomX and Cryptopop at Cryptolina in Raleigh this June, and Bitcoin Rodeo in Calgary in July! | 2019-04-26T03:49:18 | https://cryptopop.net/2018/06/11/bx8-lucky-cat/ |
A former senior British minister called on Monday for a second referendum to solve a parliamentary stalemate on Brexit, saying Prime Minister Theresa May's proposals for new ties with the European Union were a fudge that satisfied no one.
Justine Greening, an ex-Education Secretary who quit the government in January, said May's negotiating strategy would neither please those who wanted a clean break with the EU nor those who opposed Brexit altogether.
"We'll be dragging Remain voters out of the EU for a deal that means still complying with many EU rules, but now with no say on shaping them," Greening wrote in the Times newspaper.
"It's not what they want, and on top of that when they hear that Leave voters are unhappy, they ask, 'What's the point?'. For Leavers, this deal simply does not deliver the proper break from the European Union that they wanted."
May has ruled out a rerun of the 2016 vote in which Britons voted 52-48 percent to leave the bloc.
Her Brexit negotiating strategy, which aims for a close relationship with the EU after Britain leaves the bloc in March 2019, was only agreed with her cabinet earlier this month after two years of wrangling. Two senior ministers resigned in protest shortly afterwards.
May is now facing a possible rebellion from Brexit supporters in her Conservative Party who want her to ditch her plan when lawmakers vote on amendments to legislation on the government's post-Brexit customs regime on Monday.
However, she has told unhappy lawmakers that they needed to back her or risk there being no Brexit at all.
Greening said that with divisions in the Conservatives and the opposition Labour Party over how to proceed with Brexit, there should be another vote, with the public able to choose between May's plans, a "no-deal" break with the EU or remaining in the bloc.
"The only solution is to take the final Brexit decision out of the hands of deadlocked politicians, away from the backroom deals, and give it back to the people," she said. | 2019-04-19T15:06:44 | https://www.devdiscourse.com/article/agency-wire/59339-ex-uk-minister-greening-calls-for-second-vote-on-brexit-to-end-stalemate |

I am no love guru, but I do know that you can’t stop love when it’s happening. And when it occurs at a tricky crossroad that may endanger your career, we all know that we shouldn’t just let Cupid shoot you. Do you, therefore, have to make a choice between the two or should you strike a compromise that allows you, your partner, and the organization to be in their happy places?
Is it allowed by your company?
While many companies are progressive these days, most still implement what we call as "fraternization" or the limiting of relationships at work to the professional sphere to ensure focus and objectivity in all work processes.
Consider checking your HR manual first if your company regulates this. Companies that "fraternize" do not allow employees to enter exclusive romantic relationships and marriage (some do allow if both do not work in the same department or any related function).
And even if you plan to be hush-hush to avoid this regulation, do note that rumors spread fast. At some point, someone will call you out and you may just be sent to the principal’s office.
How will this affect your work performance and in the long-run, your career?
Seeing your partner every day at work can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it’s a blessing to multitask your personal and career life in the same office building. On the other, it can also serve as an unavoidable distraction that derails you from your career goals.
Weigh the possibilities: is having your partner in the office for the better, e.g., she’s your accessible support system. Or is this going to be a clock sucker because you spend too much time together? You might just be sacrificing the usual time you spend on networking or pushing sales in the field.
How will this affect your co-workers’ perception of you?
You can’t control what people think about you. Couples who work in the same teams will always be perceived as favoring each other that may compromise fairness. “It’s so unfair that my boss never calls out Anna’s tardiness just because they’re dating,” says one of your direct reports.
When people think you are partial to someone, they disengage and call foul. They believe that every effort that they do won’t matter because you already have a predisposition. Some of them may think that you got your promotion by favor and not by merit. Visualize this possibility and see how this can compromise your relationships with other people in the company that you need for your success.
If this goes wrong, how will this affect your job?
It is such a tragedy to break up with your own boss, your teammate, or anyone you work with on a project that’s already stressful. Not only will it be challenging (heart-wrenching, I should say) to move on when you have to see your ex-partner every day, but you also endanger your career if it rests in their hands.
The familiar movie line in romantic comedies goes like this: “I’d rather be friends with you because I don’t want to ruin the great friendship that we have.” It seems this line is too famous because it is true— some relationships are nice to daydream about, but the consequences are just too much that it’s not worth pursuing.
Finally, how will you and your partner work this out? What are the ground rules?
Assuming you successfully got past the stage of getting the “relationship permit,” how will you keep the professional space that will keep everyone in 'business as usual' mode? How physically intimate will you be in the office? Does your partner want to always spend lunches together or go home together?
Will both of you take it professionally if the other keeps confidential information from you because the company says so? These rules matter because they will determine the happiness you both deserve especially since you’ve fought hard to get to this stage now.
You might need to set some boundaries, so expectations are managed.
Let your brains take the reins before your heart acts too fast. While love is something that one shouldn’t rationalize too much, remember that the context of finding it in the office is a unique one that may need compromising.
Ask yourself, at the end of the day: How much do I want this so bad that I am willing to fight for it? And will it be good for both of us if I finally get it?

Seventeen year-old Julia Engström, winner of this year’s Viaplay Ladies Finnish Open, comes from a sporty family. Her mother, Jeanette, played tennis on the WTA tour from the ages of 18-25 and acts as her regular caddie. As part of highlighting the European Week of Sport, Julia and her mother discuss their passion for golf and tennis.
Who introduced you to sport and what sports did you try when you were younger?
Julia: My parents introduced me to sports when I was very young. I joined my parents when they played and I loved hitting golf balls on the driving range. I got my first set of golf clubs when I was four years old. I also played tennis and did some athletics. In the end, I decided to quit tennis and focus completely on golf. I have enjoyed sports my entire life and can’t imagine a life without it.
Jeanette: Julia really liked to play tennis, but golf is something she loved since she was little. As she grew up she had to choose and I think she always knew that golf was her first pick so it wasn’t a tough decision in the end. She had many friends on the golf course and that made the decision even easier for Julia.
Jeanette, how do you use your experience to help Julia in her golf?
Jeanette: I learned during my tennis career about nerves and how to minimise the pressure so I help Julia with this. I know how it is to compete on a high level and I’m just trying to pass my knowledge on to her.
Julia: I was not feeling well in Spain and had a really sore throat. It was a bit painful. Normally, I would push myself after the round and hit a lot of golf balls and practice but my mother told me instead that it will not get better by practicing. It’s better to rest and find a good balance and get ready for the next day. Put focus on the right things.
What is it about sport that makes you happy?
Julia: There is so much in sport that makes me happy. When you hit the perfect golf shot it is such a great feeling. I love to practice and I really enjoy the hard work and to see some progress in my game. I also enjoy playing golf or tennis with my family and friends because you have so much fun together.
Besides golf, what other sports do you actively do?
Julia: I play tennis when I have time. I really enjoy playing tennis because I think it´s a fun game to play. I think it’s healthy to play other sports sometimes to keep up with your coordination and to play just for fun. I also enjoy doing a good gym session.
Jeanette: As a family, we have always enjoyed sports and if it isn’t tennis or golf it is paddle tennis, floorball, football or ice-hockey. It brings us together and there is always sport on TV in our house.
What positive effects does a sporty lifestyle have?
Julia: I feel like an active lifestyle has a lot of benefits. When you play golf, you are always moving around and you spend all your time outside in nature which is great for your body. I think that if you have a sporty lifestyle when you are young, it will make your body stronger in the future. You meet a lot of people and make friends through sports as well.
Jeanette: Sport brings us together. Julia’s dad, her younger brother and I play and when Julia isn’t travelling we enjoy going out in the evenings and play for fun all four of us. Sport, and especially golf, is a great activity for the entire family.
What does the #BeActive campaign mean to you and why do you support the campaign?
Julia: The #BeActive campaign is a great initiative and I´m proud to be involved. I support it because the campaign has a really good purpose and I think it´s important for children in their young years to be active. It is a great way to keep your body healthy and at the same time make some friends. | 2019-04-20T23:01:36 | http://letaccess.com/news_article.php?id=3962&pid=1001 |

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Missouri's offensive line allowed only one sack in the season-opening win over the weekend.
Beating Southeastern Louisiana 62-10 won't be anything like hosting No. 7 Georgia and its rugged defense this Saturday. It will be Missouri's first game against a Southeastern Conference opponent since joining the league in July.

On July 25, 2017, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) published an investigative report (the “Report”) cautioning market participants that the offer and sale of digital assets such as “coins” or “tokens,” often acquired through a process known as an “initial coin offering” (“ICO”), may be considered securities, thus subjecting them to the requirements of federal securities laws.
Increasingly, developers and entrepreneurs generate and transfer digital assets such as tokens on blockchains. Blockchain technology is a relatively new development and can be a difficult concept to grasp at first. Blockchain, as a concept, is often conflated with Bitcoin and other digital currencies called “cryptocurrencies.” The headlines we see often focus on the more deplorable uses for the technology—using Bitcoin to purchase drugs and weapons, for example. However, the reality is that Bitcoin and blockchain technology are no different from many other technologies. For example, the dollar itself is used for many purposes, both noble and nefarious. Blockchain technology and its derivatives, like Bitcoin, have the potential to disrupt several sectors of the global economy and the way we live our lives. Because this technology, and the terminology associated with it, is only just beginning to make its way into our collective cognizance, this article first explores two core technological concepts before delving into the SEC’s analysis of ICOs: blockchain and cryptocurrency.
When people think of blockchain, they usually think of Bitcoin. Although it is probable that one would not exist without the other, they are not the same thing. A blockchain is an open, decentralized database of transactions. It is technology with potential use cases in a myriad of forums including currency, property, and even elections. A blockchain’s function is to create a record whose authenticity is verified by a network of computers rather than a central institution. It is special because it brokers trust between multiple parties without facilitation by a third party.
Think of the last purchase you made—chances are you paid with plastic. You pulled a card out of your wallet and swiped it on a vendor’s console to pay for something. We do not usually think of the few seconds between swiping and getting our receipt as a time when a third party is vouching for our ability to pay, but that is exactly what is happening.
After you swipe, your account data is routed from the vendor to the vendor’s bank, and then to the payment brand, which then forwards your information to the customer’s bank. The customer’s bank verifies whether the card is valid and that the underlying account has enough funds to cover the transaction. When the customer’s bank verifies that the amount of funds in the account is adequate, it generates an authorization code that is routed back to the card brand before the card brand forwards it to the merchant’s bank.
This system works because the bank ensures that the vendor receives payment for the particular good or service that it is providing to the customer. In other words, it is only after the bank signs off on a transaction that the vendor trusts its customer and completes the transaction. The bank, therefore, acts as a broker of trust. Without this trust, the vendor would be unwilling to release its goods or provide a service because doing so could result in nonpayment. For this trust, the vendor often pays a healthy fee of somewhere between 2-4% of the value of the transaction.
once verified, the individual’s transaction is recorded on a list of other recent transactions that are bundled up in a unit referred to as a block. The blocks are linked together to form a chain of data reflecting the current state of the ledger. As the number of transactions processed on a particular blockchain grows, so do the number of blocks linked together in the blockchain.
Should a person not have enough funds to process a transaction or try to spend the same coin twice, the transaction would fail to be recorded in any block.
Cryptocurrency, often called “digital currency,” refers to a form of currency based in cryptography; a web-based digital representation of value that functions in some respects as an alternative form of currency.” The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) refers to digital currency as a form of currency that has many attributes of real currency, except for one: legal tender status in any jurisdiction. Currently, Bitcoin is the most recognized and widely used form of cryptocurrency. However, other forms of cryptocurrency, such as Ethereum’s Ether (“ETH”), with its capability to fuel “smart contracts,” have emerged and are gaining traction in blockchain circles. Like cash, which does not require the exchange of personal data to complete a transaction, cryptocurrency provides a measure of anonymity to a user in that the identities of the parties are encrypted and personal information is not exchanged; rather, the transaction is executed through network addresses and private keys.
Until the SEC issued its report, the advent of the “initial coin offering” presented business promoters with a new, inexpensive method of fundraising to acquire large amounts of capital without the need for the services of lawyers or traditional financial institutions. The process usually involves a company providing a summary of its vision for a specific project and instructions for interested investors to contribute cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin or Ether, in exchange for the particular company’s token.
For some time, the ICO has represented a boon for developers and investors looking to launch innovative projects and companies; for example, a start-up called “Tezos” raised over $230 million through its ICO. ICOs have also provided swindlers with an amazing opportunity to make a quick buck (or, more often, a quick Ether or Bitcoin) by pretending to launch a new project only to take the “money” and run. Because the ICO space has been largely unregulated and unaddressed, companies utilizing an ICO fundraiser have not been required to provide would-be investors with the types of disclosures that would be required with an offer or sale of more traditional securities; nor have issuers been required to verify or scrutinize the financial sophistication of would-be investors. It is for these reasons that the SEC provided guidance in the Report.
In the Report, the SEC set out to answer two specific and interrelated questions: (1) whether DAO Tokens were securities, and (2) whether the federal securities laws were applicable to the offer and sale of DAO Tokens.
The DAO was an unincorporated virtual organization founded by Slock.it UG, a German corporation and its founders. Its objective was to act as a for-profit entity that would fund various “projects.” To obtain the requisite capital to fund these projects, The DAO planned to raise funds and accumulate assets through the sale of digital tokens to investors. Investors holding DAO Tokens were able to vote on whether certain projects would be funded and stood to share in the earnings from the various projects as return on their investment. Additionally, holders of DAO Tokens had the option of liquidating their investment by re-selling their tokens on web-based exchanges that supported a secondary market for digital tokens.
The founders of The DAO and a select number of individuals known as “curators,” whom The DAO touted as experts in Ethereum and related business ventures, held a substantial amount of power and influence in the operation of The DAO. They pre-screened potential projects prior to presenting them to the investors for a vote, essentially acting as gatekeepers to the entire operation. In less than one month, from April to May of 2016, The DAO was able to raise around 12M ETH, then valued at around $150M.
To get to its conclusion, the SEC addressed each of the enumerated elements in turn.
The DAO’s founders and curators were largely responsible for the operation of the enterprise: they determined and monitored the information provided to investors, safeguarded investor funds, and decided whether a proposed project should be put up for a vote by the investors. The investors, therefore, “had little choice but to rely on [the curators’] expertise.” As such, the SEC determined that “DAO token holders relied on the significant managerial efforts provided by Slock.it and its co-founders, and The DAO’s Curators” to such an extent that they were “essential to the overall success and profitability of any investment into The DAO.
The SEC concluded that the offer and sale of DAO Tokens to investors satisfied the elements of an investment contract. Therefore, DAO Tokens were in fact securities that were subject to the requirements of federal securities laws.
For the first time in blockchain tech’s short history, the SEC classified a blockchain derivative technology as a security, which is subject to the requirements set forth in the federal securities laws. Thus ending what, for a while, was an unhindered gravy train for developers and would-be blockchain entrepreneurs.
Although the scope of the Report was limited to the status of DAO Tokens as potential securities and the applicability of federal securities laws to those particular digital assets, the SEC pointed out that other aspects of the sale of DAO Tokens may implicate federal securities laws and subject issuers like The DAO to additional requirements.
For example, the Report does not address whether The DAO was an “investment company” as defined in Section 3(a) of the Investment Company Act. Companies considered investment companies must register with the SEC, unless they fall under an exception or qualify for an exemption from registration.
Typically, a company that issues securities is considered an “investment company” for securities laws purposes when it also: (1) holds itself out as a company that engages primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, (2) engages in the business of issuing face amount certificates of the installment type, or (3) engages in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities, and owns investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the issuer’s total assets on an unconsolidated basis. In holding itself out as an entity in the business of investing, The DAO may very well have crossed into the realm of an unregistered investment company, which could have resulted in serious consequences. For example, The DAO’s contracts would have been rendered unenforceable by virtue of failing to comply with federal securities laws.
In addition, the Report touches on possible “exchange” level requirements triggered by the secondary market in which DAO Token holders were able to liquidate their investments in stating that the platforms supporting such trading “appear to have satisfied the criteria of Rule 3b-16(a) of the Exchange Act and do not appear to have been excluded from Rule 3b-16(b).” Under Section 5 of the Exchange Act, it is unlawful for any broker, dealer, or exchange to effect any transaction involving a security, or to report any such transaction, in interstate commerce, directly or indirectly, unless the exchange is registered as a national securities exchange under Section 6 of the Exchange Act.
On July 25, 2017, the world of blockchain enterprise was put on notice: federal securities laws are far reaching and will apply to offers and sales of securities that have a nexus to the United States, regardless of the method of facilitation or the name of the mechanism by which those securities are offered and sold. Innovation in this space is rapid—ideas and money flow fast. For entrepreneurs and developers in this space, the prospect of slowing the process down to conduct a thorough securities analysis may be tough to digest. However, frontloading the analysis and taking the necessary steps to ensure compliance with securities laws will help to ensure that your company’s fundraising efforts will not put you in the SEC’s crosshairs.
The SEC refrained from pursuing legal action against those responsible for The DAO, likely because they returned the money taken from investors after being hacked in June of 2016. However, since publishing the Report, over two hundred new ICOs have moved forward in their efforts to raise funds—rest assured, the SEC is watching.

This is the first art book to focus on the relationship between creators of acknowledged talent and their work with important companies; it highlights one of the most significant aspects of French creation within the corporation.
Sense in Utility is above all a report.
Important changes have taken place in post-industrial society, inciting corporate leaders to take into account the need for strong product identity. Consumers' attitude towards the object has changed. The object must fulfil more that just a function, it must also meet a cultural need.
Today, profitability requires meeting the challenge, it demands a new attitude. The stakes are real. Companies are invested with an educational and cultural role; they create the objects we find in our environment. Their encounters with designers who are able to 'think' the object in a different way, giving it a new sense, is therefore of utmost importance.
That is what Sense in Utility wishes to show, by presenting the productive dialogue established between 9 companies and 9 designers.
This is the first book to focus on the relationship between these two actors; its purpose is not to prove a theory, it is to underline a fact and to initiate a reflection on the influencing role of creation within the corporation.

Healthcare professionals should understand chemical burns from exposure to acids (pH less than 7), alkalis (pH greater than 7), and irritants to recognize, manage and care for these common types of injury.
Chemical burns are the result of exposures to a variety of substances commonly found in the home, workplace, and surrounding environment. The burn may be obvious, for example, from a direct spill or other exposure, or more covert, especially in children. Chemical burns can cause short-term, long-term, and lifelong health problems, especially if undertreated. Occasionally, they can result in premature death, especially if ingested in an attempt to self-harm.
In the last few years in the United Kingdom, there have been many caustic chemical assaults on women.
Children tend to suffer chemical injuries in the home; whereas, adults suffer chemical injuries in the workplace.
Chemical burns cause damage as a result of irritant properties, acidity/alkalinity, concentration, form, amount of contact, the length of exposure, and location of contact. For example, contact with a mucosal surface such as the eye is likely to cause earlier and more extensive damage than contact with intact skin where there may be some barrier protection. After inadvertent or intentional ingestion, there will be prompt contact with the mucosal surface and both direct and absorptive toxicity.
After exposure to an alkaline agent, the -OH moiety causes injury due to liquefaction necrosis (mnemonic tip: alkaline has an "L"), which leads to often irreversible changes in the protein matrix. Additionally, there is vascular damage that can create a local or systemic effect.
Acidic agents cause coagulation necrosis (mnemonic tip: acidic has a "C"), which leads to cytotoxicity. Additionally, there are mucosal or skin changes which may prevent further toxicity and limit absorption.
Overall, alkaline agents are more toxic than acidic agents, due to the irreversible changes in protein and tissue damage.
The most common findings represent structural changes to the tissue directly affected, for example, the eye, oral mucosa, skin, esophagus, and lower intestinal system, especially the stomach and pylorus, respiratory system, among others. In children, ingestion is generally the most worrisome event, because of changes, both short-term and long-term, often leading to extensive tissue death. Eye exposure, either acid or alkali, represents a significant acute injury. Copious irrigation is necessary, and measuring pH is appropriate, although rarely informative.
Direct examination of external exposure sites is mandatory, and if there is ingestion, endoscopic evaluation is necessary. In the instance of Hydrofluoric (HF) acid exposure (see treatment below), monitoring of serum calcium and magnesium levels is critical to prevent chelation with the fluoride ion and cytotoxicity. With most other topical exposures, observation and serial monitoring of changes are sufficient.
Any gastrointestinal (GI) exposure must be seen by an experienced endoscopist who may need to perform serial evaluations to document healing. Likewise, eye injuries must be examined by an experienced ophthalmologist who will follow-up with the patient sequentially and guide additional therapy.
With ingestions, especially when concerned about systemic absorption, laboratory evaluation (complete blood count [CBC], platelets, electrolytes, calcium, magnesium, arterial/venous blood gas, liver and kidney studies, lactic acid level, and, occasionally, coagulation studies) may be indicated. Radiographic studies, especially including an upright chest film, may help to determine if there is the presence of free air, which is suggestive of a perforation. Non-contrast CT may be used if there is concern about mediastinal free air, resulting from a perforation after exposure. Previously, a radio-opaque contrast was used, but this should be avoided in suspected perforation.
It is not appropriate to introduce emetic agents or "neutralizing" agents into the treatment regimen after ingestion. There is high concern about aspiration, increased tissue damage with retching, and a strong possibility of exacerbating a bad situation. There is no current recommendation of systemic medications such as steroids, antibiotics, or prophylactic renal/hepatic therapies.
HF acid, among all the exposures mentioned above, can be treated with copious irrigation and application of a paste (commercially available and often supplied in an industrial setting where HF may be used commonly or made in the emergency department with powdered calcium gluconate and surgical lubricants). Some have recommended benzalkonium chloride solution. When applied, the treating clinician should use barrier protection. In some circumstances, intradermal or intraarterial injections of calcium (gluconate strongly preferred) have been used. Relief of pain is a good marker of efficacy of treatment. Monitoring of calcium and magnesium levels is important. Oral ingestion, often in the context of suicidal behavior, is likely to be fatal and may be treated with lavage. Monitoring of heart rhythms and electrolytes, including calcium and magnesium, is necessary. Lavage may be helpful, especially if calcium salts are used.
Disc batteries have the potential to leak alkali and cause local, generally esophageal, burns. This is typically seen in children and will require endoscopic management and radiographic tracking of location. Early removal is strongly recommended. If the battery has passed the pylorus, watchful waiting, and inspection of stool for passage is appropriate.
The prognosis depends on the type of chemical and extent of the injury. Most small lesions heal well, but larger wounds often do not heal and can develop into scars. Hydrofluoric acid burns have typically been associated with loss of digits.
Chemical injuries to the eye are the most serious, resulting in severe scarring and permanent loss of vision.
The most common complications are pain and scarring.
Vision loss occurs when the eye is injured.
Most patients require multiple doctor visits, and many patients require skin grafts to alleviate the scars.
Except for first degree burns, all other burns require some type of followup. Skin burns need to be evaluated every 2-4 days until there are signs of healing. Patients with eye burns need to be seen in 24 hours.
For those who suffer a burn to the esophagus, endoscopy has to be repeated in 14-21 days to ensure that there is no stricture formation.
Besides a general surgeon or a burn specialist, other consultants involved in the care of these patients include an ophthalmologist, ENT surgeon, Gastroenterologist and a pediatrician.
To avoid chemical injury in children, parents should keep all dangerous chemicals out of reach of the children.
Individuals who have attempted suicide with chemicals need a psychiatric referral.
Chemical burns have the potential to impair short and long-term health and, especially when the eye or esophagus are involved, severely alter the individual's well-being. The clinician must be vigilant to monitor even minor appearing burns, especially with HF acid, as what initially appears to be minor may have serious side effects.
Because burns can occur on almost any part of the body, specific guidelines in the management of each organ system are lacking. However, there is expert evidence on managing the patient as a whole. However, there still remain several gaps in the early management of chemical burns. What solution to rinse the skin or the eye and when to debride are two issues that continue to be debated. But there is no debate that the eye should be rinsed thoroughly, and the patient must be seen by the ophthalmologist. Because burns can affect all organ systems a multidisciplinary approach with interaction is necessary to avoid the high morbidity of the disorder. | 2019-04-21T20:31:31 | https://statpearls.com/as/ears%20nose%20and%20throat/18716/ |
EN : Viet Cong is a canny fusion of four quite distinct voices from their home town of Calgary, Alberta. Featuring former members of the much-loved —but sadly defunct— band Women, and members of Chad VanGaalen’s backing band, Viet Cong offers up an intriguing mixture of sharply-angled rhythm workouts and euphoric ‘60s garage pop-esque melodies. This open-ended framework is balanced with a penchant for drone-y, VU-styled downer moments, altogether spinning what has been called “easily one of the best new Canadian bands in quite some time.” On stage, Viet Cong is hugely engaging, delivering pop gems and instrumental acrobatics with equal aplomb, clearly delighting in the navigation of these catchy, intricate songs. Viet Cong are currently working on a full length debut LP. | 2019-04-18T14:40:04 | http://myfavorite.fr/artistes/preoccupations,1851.html |

Would you help us mobilize more missionaries?
Missions mobilization can take many different forms. Sometimes, it means we pray. Sometimes, it means we give. Sometimes, it means we go.
Luke gives us a clue about this topic in the ninth chapter of his Gospel, when he tells us the following story of the Savior: “But when He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they fainted and were scattered, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest” (Matt. 9:36-38).
Why do we mobilize for missions? Because people need a Savior. What better way to describe our world today than “harassed and helpless”? When we travel to the mission field, whether next door or across the sea, we meet people who are “harassed and helpless.” They need the peace and joy a relationship with Jesus brings. They need to know Him.
Why do we mobilize for missions? Because workers are few. Many people will talk about missions. Many will say they support missions. But few will surrender to the Lord and go or give as He desires.
Why do we mobilize for missions? Because we want to partner with God in prayer. No matter what else we can or can’t do, we can ask Him to send workers. Some of us cannot go for physical or other reasons. But we can have a “go” mind- and heart-set and support those who can. This is where we can fulfill the true intent of this passage.
Right now, Awe Star wants to mobilize for missions through the purchase of another 15-passenger van. We are traveling by van not only south of the border this year (Mexico) but also north (Canada). We need a reliable van to transport students not only across the border but to the various ministry sites in both these countries as we take the gospel wherever God empowers us to go. We need to keep them safe. We need to be wise stewards. We need to reach more people in more places.
If God moves your heart with compassion and you feel led to help us, please click this link to set up your one-time or recurring gift. Know that you are not just partnering with Awe Star—you are partnering with the Lord of the harvest as together, we mobilize for missions. | 2019-04-25T08:28:29 | https://www.awestar.org/awestarmissionaryvanfund.html |
Plane similar to the one involved in the crash.
Three people are dead and three others are injured after a small plane left the runway and hit two helicopters while taking off near Mount Everest.
The accident happened at Lukla airport. The airport serves as the main gateway to the Everest region.
A program titled Most Extreme Airports, broadcast on The History Channel in 2010, rated the airport as the most dangerous airport in the world for over 20 years.
It remains unclear what caused the accident.

This guide introduces good defensive programming practices that will help SLEE application developers avoid many common mistakes during the development of SLEE applications.
A subset of the common performance issues are related to general performance issues in the Java programming language. Remember JAIN SLEE is a Java standard so one must adopt good Java programming practices! This guide will not explore good Java programming guidelines in detail. Readers are encouraged to refer to their favourite Java resource as well as this guide.
There are numerous resources that cover good Java programming guidelines. For example: "Effective Java. Programming Language Guide", by Joshua Bloch.
SBBs, Resource Adaptors, Profiles, and SLEE internal components can use the Trace Facility to generate trace messages intended for consumption by external management clients. Traces consume resources and could affect application performance if you do not use them properly. We have detected very substantial performance improvements after applying some of the recommendations explained below.
"This class provides an API compatible with StringBuffer, but with no guarantee of synchronization. This class is designed for use as a drop-in replacement for StringBuffer in places where the string buffer was being used by a single thread (as is generally the case). Where possible, it is recommended that this class be used in preference to StringBuffer as it will be faster under most implementations."
Use Info or a higher level for tracing to be collected in the normal case.
Use Finest/Finer/Fine level for testing and developing information.
Do not trace redundant information.
Print data specific of the current entity (for instance, "sendMessage method, state=value"), not about the service logic ("I am in sendMessage").
Try to minimize String concatenations in traces and use java.lang.StringBuilder objects for concatenating.
Java uses eager evaluation - all arguments to a method are evaluated before the method itself is executed. This includes calls to the trace facility. Remember that the toString() implementation of objects being traced (such as events) may be computationally expensive!
Use exceptions only for exceptional conditions. Avoid using the try/catch blocks as if/else. Only define service logic in a catch block if there is no other possibility and you expect to use that logic in exceptional cases.
Do not forget to "clean" resources in the catch block (close connections, remove objects from List,...).
Always check that if the service logic should finish in the catch block (return from the method) or it should go on after the try/catch block. Take into account that if you have had an exception in a try block, there could be variables not initialized or not properly updated.
Analyse if the exception should be handled in the current method (in a catch block) or thrown to the method invoker.
Remember that you can use the finally clause.
JAIN SLEE specification provides two methods to handle exceptional situations sbbExceptionThrown and sbbRolledBack.
The SLEE invokes this method after a SLEE originated invocation of a transactional method of the SBB object returns by throwing a RuntimeException. Regardeless, take into account that a well-written SBB should not throw any RuntimeException exceptions from any of its SLEE invoked methods.
The SLEE invokes this method after a transaction that was used to invoke a transactional method of the SBB abstract class has been rolled back.
a profile object via a profile local interface invocation.
An unhandled exception will cause the transaction to be marked for rollback, which can be bad news when you're dealing with non-transactional resources. The SLEE callback methods do alert the SBB to a transaction being rolled back, but there is not a lot you can do about the transactional state that has been lost.
Runtime exceptions shouldn't be thrown by any SLEE invoked method. It also applies to any method invoked via a local interface, although in those cases you don't get the sbbExceptionThrown callback, unless the TransactionRolledbackLocalException propagates out the stack back to the SLEE and then the callback is only performed on the SBB entity invoked by the SLEE in the first instance, which may not be the component that actually threw the exception.
Use runtime exceptions for programming errors and checked exceptions for recoverable conditions. You should not define a runtime exception such as NullPointerException in the throws clause of a profile local interface method to indicate a programming error passing a null argument because you can't throw runtime exceptions from the method in the profile object and expect it to propagate out to the caller as a NullPointerException - it gets wrapped in the TransactionRolledbackLocalException. Use of runtime exceptions within a single method, or between private methods in a single SBB object are generally fine though, but should be handled within the SBB somewhere.
SBB configuration data could be stored in environment entries. Each environment entry element binds an environment entry into the JNDI component environment of the SBB. The SLEE implements the SBB component environment, and provides it to the instances of the SBB component classes through the JNDI interfaces at runtime.
The SBB Developer declares in the SBB deployment descriptor all the environment entries that the SBB component expects Service Deployers to customize during Service assembly and deployment. The data stored in environment entries cannot not be changed at runtime: it is necessary to redeploy a Service to change these values. Store data that you only expect to change with a new version of the service.
All instances of SBB component classes of the same SBB component share the same environment entries, so the values of the environment entries can be cached in java attributes safely. A common pattern is to read the SBB jndi environment in setSbbContext() and cache the properties in Java attributes of the SBB object.
For more information about this topic read Section 6.13.1 (SBB component environment as a JNDI naming context) in JAIN SLEE 1.1 specification.
The use of one or other state storage depends on the life cycle of the state and the components that use this information. This section provides a guidelines that could help you to decide the container to use.
The state should be stored in SBB CMP fields when it is related with the SBB service logic, and its life cycle corresponds to the life cycle of the SBB.
There is no additional cost of creating/removing Activities, or memory to store the Activity (only the memory cost of the fields themselves).
The state can not shared between services.
The state should be stored in attributes in the Sbb Activity Context Interface of a Null Activity when the life cycle of the state does not corresponds to the life cycle of the Sbb.
The state could be shared between services.
There is the additional cost of creating/removing an Activity, and memory to store the Activity (and the memory cost of the fields themselves).
The Null Activity is bound to a name, so the service developer must make sure that it is removed.
The state should be stored in attributes in the Sbb Activity Context Interface of a Resource Adaptor owned activity when it is related with the Resource Adaptor, and its life cycle corresponds with the life cycle of the Resource Adaptor Activity.
The state could be shared between SBBs of different types that use the same activity context (using aliases).
The application state should be stored in Profiles when it is persistent, i.e. it is not a temporary "state", but new provisioned data that could be required in the future by other SBB entities of the same or different services.
Profiles are objects that contain provisioned data required by a component (e.g. SBB) to perform its function, such as configuration data or per subscriber data. There are two definitions of the Profile Specification, one for SLEE 1.0 and one for SLEE 1.1. This is due to the changes in the Profile contract between 1.0 and 1.1. SLEE components (e.g. SBBs and Resource Adaptors) and management clients can now have write access to 1.1 Profiles (SBBs had a read-only view of Profiles in the SLEE v1.0 specification). Profile updates by SLEE components enable applications to modify Profile data during service execution.
See: New SLEE 1.1 Profile Features for more help using profiles.
Changes in profiles are visible for all services.
Profile data can be persistent, so it is still available when Rhino SLEE is not running.
Profile data can be exported (for backups) and imported (restored or installed in other Rhino SLEE site).
There is additional cost of profiles persistence (to write them in PostgreSQL database).
An SBB may define an SBB Activity Context Interface interface that extends, either directly or indirectly, the generic ActivityContextInterface.
This interface declares the shareable attributes of the SBB and the SLEE generates the concrete class that implements the SBB Activity Context Interface interface when the SBB is deployed into the SLEE.
If an SBB does not define an SBB-specific SBB Activity Context Interface interface, the SBB uses the generic ActivityContextInterface interface. The generic ActivityContextInterface interface does not declare any shareable attributes.
Use the SBB Activity Context Interface interface with care and make sure you do not use ACI attributes when SBB CMP fields should be used instead.
By default, the Activity Context attributes defined in the SBB Activity Context Interface interface of an SBB are not accessible by other SBBs. The attributes that an SBB entity stores in an Activity Context can only be accessed by SBB entities of the same SBB because SBB entities of the same SBB use the same SBB Activity Context Interface object to interact with the Activity Context.
This avoids unintentional shared access to the same attribute when composing SBBs, or when deploying Services from different sources. This is a common approach in SLEE in general terms - you do not break encapsulation needlessly.
To share the state between SBB of different types, Activity Context attribute aliasing should be used. The aliasing make attributes declared in different SBB Activity Context Interface interfaces behave logically as a single attribute.
It defines a logical attribute with a name known as the alias name. The logical attribute can be updated through any of its aliased attributes' set accessor methods and changes to the logical attribute are observable through any of these attributes' get accessor methods. Shareable attributes defined in an SBB Activity Context Interface interface of an SBB are not 'shared' with other SBBs unless explicitly aliased.
Be very careful with the use of Java instance variables in your services as their value could change from one transaction to the next transaction, i.e. they are transient. The Java attributes are associated to the SBB object, not to the SBB entity. You can use Java instance variables safely when all instances of the same SBB component share the same instance variables state. For example it is safe to cache values from the jndi environment in Java instance variables if (and only if) the SBB object only ever reads from such instance variables.
The SLEE does not guarantee that all transactions of a specific SBB entity is performed by the same SBB object. The SLEE can choose to disassociate the SBB object from the SBB entity it is currently assigned to. This allows the SBB object to be reused and assigned to a different SBB entity, for example.
To disassociate an SBB object, the SLEE invokes the sbbStore() method to allow the SBB object to prepare itself for the synchronization of the SBB entity's persistent state with the SBB object's transient state. In case you use java attributes, you could use the sbbStore() lifecycle method to synchronize them with CMP fields.
Later, the SLEE can synchronize the transient state held in the SBB object with the persistent state of the SBB entity whenever it determines the need to, by invoking the sbbLoad() method. You could use this method to re-compute or initialize the values of any transient instance variables in the SBB object that depend on the SBB entity's persistent state. In general, any transient state that depends on the persistent state of an SBB entity should be recalculated in this method.
For more information about sbbLoad() and sbbStore() methods read Sections 6.2 (SBB object life cycle), 6.3.8 (sbbLoad method) and 6.3.9 (sbbStore method) in JAIN SLEE 1.1 specification.
You should not store large objects in CMP. The SLEE has to use Java serialization on any CMP field that is not a primitive type or string (or array of those types). Java serialization is slow, will write out a lot of extra metadata about the classes being serialized, so the number of bytes to store for each CMP field is quite large. Rhino has to serialize and deserialize this data on every transaction, to make sure the SBB entity state is up to date, so this can use a lot of extra CPU.
Ideally you would use only primitive types in CMP fields, but if you do need to store a more complex object, you can speed up serialization by making the object implement java.io.Externalizable. You then provide your own methods for reading and writing the object, which Java serialization will call instead of it's default serialization code, so you can write the object more efficiently. See the javadoc for java.io.Externalizable.
For example, imagine you have a class that contains several maps and lists. By default, Java serialization will include metadata about the map and list classes, as well as their contents. If you implement Externalizable, you can store a list more efficiently by just writing the list size, and then writing each list item. When you deserialize, just read the size, then instantiate your list object and add the items read from the stream. Apply this to all the classes you are storing in CMP.
Another possibility to use persistent complex objects is dividing them in primitive persistent fields and storing its internal elements in CMP fields. When starting a new transaction, using sbbLoad() method (explained above), you could create a new complex object using its internal elements. Later, when the transaction finishes, the complex object could be stored again in primitive CMP fields in the sbbStore() method.
Object CMP field types are types passed to CMP that are not either Java primitive types or their associated Object wrappers.
An example of a Java primitive type and its Object wrapper is boolean and java.lang.Boolean.
By default, Rhino will use Java Serialization in order to store such Objects in CMP. This is extremely CPU and memory inefficient. Therefore in addition to using a lot of CPU, Rhino will allocate and then immediately discard object references, meaning that Garbage Generation is much higher than needed. This in turn impacts latency and throughput.
OpenCloud recommends two alternatives to Java Serialization, these are discussed below.
Finally OpenCloud recommends use of Object field CMP caching in addition to these faster alternatives to standard Serialization.
OpenCloud implements a proprietary mechanism called FastSerializable. As the name implies it is similar to Serializable, but its key point is that it is fast. It is a little more manual, but is still relatively simple.
There are two parts to the contract. The first is the Object properly implementing FastSerializable.
The second is the CMP Field accessor requirements.
The contract for FastSerializable is shown below.
For CGIN use the CGIN Persist API. This allows the type to be turned to and from a byte array with very fast encoding and decoding.
Latency and throughput are significantly enhanced.
This is more specific and faster than FastSerializable and is automatically present in the CGIN API.
CGIN Persist offers encoder/decoder classes for every single CGIN Operation "Arg" type.
So this is true for all MAP Operations, all CAP Operations, all INAP Operations and so on.
different codec import, and use the appropriate "Arg" object.
JSLEE CMP fields are pass-by-value. This means that when you invoke the getXXX() or setXXX(arg) accessor operations that the SLEE is taking a copy of the argument and using that copy.
As JSLEE and Rhino have Object pools in place for SBB entities, you can set the Ready Pool Size to be larger than the expected number of SBB entities.
Therefore the "copy" semantics of JSLEE CMP fields will be used infrequently, as the Object pool means that the Object form can be readily used without resorting to the underlying CMP field.
Below is a snippet from one of our applications that needs to store an InitialDP Arg into CMP. This is also cached.
Implement sbbLoad() as the CMP representation has changed (this is why sbbLoad exists).
Now because the type here is a CGIN Arg type ... we use CGIN Fast Persist to perform the encoding and decoding operations.
This is specific to CGIN Arg types, so the pattern described above works will cache any type.
The CGIN encode and decode methods return null if their argument is null.
This simplifies the calling code.
follow the pattern where they return null if a null argument is passed to them (rather than throwing a NullPointerException).
SSBs can communicate between themselves using the SBB Local Interface or by sending Custom Events. This section provides guidelines that could help you to decide how to implement such communication.
The SBB Local Interface allows an SBB entity to invoke synchronously a method in another SBB entity (i.e. a root SBB can invoke a method on a child SBB, and viceversa).
The methods that may be invoked synchronously must be declared in the SBB Local Interface, and must be implemented in the SBB abstract class. The methods of an SBB Local Interface execute in the calling methods transaction context, so they do not involve a new transaction.
The Local Interface does not allow SBBs of different services to communicate. Use SBB Local interfaces when the SBBs are involved in a whole-part relation (i.e parent-child in SLEE terms). For example, a parent SBB may delegate to a helper child SBB.
Call Forwarding service. The parent SBB could be in charge of handling the call flow and the child SBB could access to an external database to provide the diverts configured for an specific destination number. They are not independent services, because the child is useless without a call handler and does not provide a complete service.
For more information about this topic read Chapter 5 (SBB Local Interface) in the JAIN SLEE 1.1 specification.
Custom Events allow SBBs to communicate with SBBs of the same or other services.
The SBB abstract class must define fire event methods, that may be invoked to fire an event that will be processed asynchronously. The SLEE stores the event internally as part of its internal transaction processing and will be delivered to other SBB entities at some later time if the transaction successfully commits. If the transaction does not commit successfully the SLEE discards the event.
Each event handler method invoked to process an event fired asynchronously executes within a separate transaction.
As other SBB entities will receive the fired event after the originating transaction has committed, transactional state changes made by the originating transaction are visible to subsequent event handler method invocations, e.g. state held within an Activity Context.
Custom events consume more resources than Local Interface communication (more transactions and events), so check that you can not use Local Interface instead before using custom events.
For more information about this topic read section 3.2 (Custom event types) in the JAIN SLEE 1.1 specification.
Service developers starting to develop JSLEE applications, commonly use Null Activities too frequently. Null Activities consume CPU resources of creating/removing an Activity, and the memory to store the Activity, so they should only be used when they are necessary.
This section provides some situations that could be implemented using Null Activities.
Null Activities could be used to share state between SBB entities via AC Naming and/or shared ACI attributes.
There is an SBB1 (that belongs to Service1) that processes calls and stores the call duration for each subscriber in a Null Activity whose name is the originator address. Another SBB2 (that belong to Service2) recollects periodically the call duration for statistical purposes of each originator address.
The Null Activity should be bound to a name that both SBBs know (e.g. the originator address).
Once an SBB finds the activity (via the lookup() method), the SBB could attach to it and will be able to use the Null Activity again (to update its attributes, to set a Timer,...) via the sbbContext.getActivities() method, instead of the lookup().
In SLEE 1.1 containers, profiles can also be used to implement this use case.
Null Activities could also be used to communicate between SBB entities using custom events.
In a common scenario we could have two services with two SBBs (SBB-1 and SBB-2) that have to exchange messages with some information. For instance, SBB-1 sends custom event Event2 to SBB2 and waits for custom event Event-1 from SBB-2. The SBB-2 initial event could be Event-2, and it fires Event-1 as a response of Event-2.
SBB-1 creates a Null Activity.
SBB-1 attaches to the Null Activity.
SBB-1 fires Event-2 on the Null Activity.
... attaches it to the Null Activity (as a part of normal SLEE initial event processing).
SBB-2 method onEvent2() is executed.
One common mistake is for a developer to forget to attach SBB-1 to the Null Activity (step 2), so SBB-1 never receives the response Event-1 event (steps 9 and 10 are never executed).
During normal Rhino SLEE operation SBB entities and Activities are removed by the SLEE when they are no longer needed. For instance, SBB entities are removed when all activities attached to the SBB have ended.
Null Activities could be created to keep the SBB entity alive when not attached to other Activity Context Interface interfaces. The SLEE will not remove the SBB Entity if its attachment count is higher that zero.
A common use case is chain independent activities together that really are related. For instance, in a messaging scenario we may want the same SBB entity tree to process the message and the corresponding delivery receipt (both of which are related to separate activities).
In this scenario the SBB entity receives a DeliveryRequest and sends a DeliveryResponse and a SubmitRequest. When the SBB entity receives the SubmitResponse, it creates a Null Activity and attaches to it to keep alive. The Activity of the Resource Adaptor finishes after the SubmitResponse, but SLEE will not remove an SBB Entity because the attachment count is higher than zero.
When the DeliveryReportRequest is received, we will use the initial event selector method to check if the requests belong to the same "flow of messages". In that case the message is sent to the same SBB entity: the SLEE does not create a new SBB entity because one already exist for the potential initial event.
The SBB entity sends a DeliveryReportResponse, detaches from the Null Activity and calls to the endActivity() method.
For more information about this topic read section 7.10 ("Null Activity objects") in JAIN SLEE 1.1 specification.
A library is a SLEE component that provides some common functionality to other components installed in the SLEE. A library can depend on other libraries in the SLEE, but cannot depend on other types of components such as SBBs and Resource Adaptors. This means that a library is typically a "passive" component used by other components to support their functionality, rather than an "active" component which initiates interaction with other components in the SLEE.
WHEN should library components be used?
Package common classes used in several services, resource adaptors, events, etc.
Package a library built by other vendor (for instance, a LDAP library or JAIN SIP libraries) that should be managed independently.
WHY should library components be used?
It makes the application easier to manage and support.
It allows another level of reuse! SBBs, Resource Adaptors, etc. could share common classes.
HOW are library components used?
Libraries components are a new feature of JAIN SLEE 1.1. Rhino 2.0 implements JAIN SLEE 1.1, so you can use standard library components.
See: How Do I Use Library Jars in SLEE 1.1 for more help using libraries.
Before Rhino 2.0, you can use libraries using proprietary deployment descriptors. It is trivial to migrate these deployment descriptor to the standard ones if you have to migrate an application from JAIN SLEE 1.0 to 1.1.
PUBLIC "-//Open Cloud Ltd.//DTD JAIN SLEE Library Extension 1.0//EN"
Once you've created the library component jar, it can be deployed in Rhino by adding it to any deployable unit in the usual way.
"-//Open Cloud Ltd.//DTD JAIN SLEE SBB Extension 1.0//EN"
You would include both sbb-jar.xml and oc-sbb-jar.xml in the META-INF directory of your SBB component jar.
You can find the DTDs for all the extension deployment descriptors mentioned above in the com/opencloud/rhino/dtd directory inside the lib/RhinoSDKRuntime.jar or lib/RhinoRuntime.jar file included in the Rhino SDK install or the Rhino install.
You can specify different security permissions for each individual jar included in a library component.
Applying additional security permissions to a non-SBB component is usually only useful with the use of AccessController.doPrivileged() blocks in the appropriate places in the code. See the class javadoc for java.security.AccessController for more details.
where possible apps should migrate to slf4j, which offers a "pametrised logging" api that removes the needs of guarding the log statements.
i believe Sun's compiler compiles String.concat() (eg +) to StringBuffer. So for the sake of clarity, small messages can still be constructed using string concatenation.
for long (^) messages it should be better to use StringBuffer and construct it with a capacity slightly over the size of the result log string (if it can be reliably calculated at compile time). The Sun implementation of StringBuffer expands the internal capacity of the internal buffer by duplicating it's size and performing an Array.copyOf() which obviously can be avoided if the capacity is chosen wisely in the first place.
(^) long message: looking again at Sun's implementation a message can be considered long if it's length is > 16 chars, as 16 is the default size of a StringBuffer. | 2019-04-23T22:04:12 | https://developer.rhino.metaswitch.com/devportal/display/OCDEV/Hints+and+Tips+for+Writing+Well+Performing+SLEE+Applications |
When you've dropped 50, 100, or an even greater number of pounds, you can almost feel the weight being lifted each day. But the same is not true for your skin - practically all men and women who lose a lot of weight are left with areas of sagging skin. Typically, the mid- to lower-body is one of the most prominent areas where this loose skin forms, which is why Dr. Thomas McNemar performs body lift procedures to completely revamp a patient's midsection.
This procedure combines abdominoplasty, thigh lift, and buttock lift for a complete makeover that can span from your upper abdomen to your knees. Also known as a belt lipectomy, the procedure can dramatically transform the look of almost any person who has achieved significant weight reduction.
You had many goals in mind when you chose weight loss surgery in San Francisco or San Ramon, CA - goals like improving your health and energy, reducing your risk of certain illnesses, and enhancing your self image. It is important to both your comfort and confidence to complete your weight loss journey and remove the excess tissue that serves as a constant reminder of your former self. Dr. McNemar's cosmetic surgery options, including body lift, can help you look your very best.
Dr. McNemar performs body lifts in a single surgical session or in stages, depending on patient needs. The primary concern is always patient safety, but as long as the procedures can be performed together safely, Dr. McNemar will perform combination surgery for added convenience and a single recovery period.
During a body lift, Dr. McNemar removes excess skin and fat from the midsection. As you may guess, the body lift often requires extensive incisions to contour this large section of the body, and patients are often left with scarring that encircles the waist. The men and women who undergo body lift feel that this scarring is an acceptable trade-off for increased comfort and a more pleasing appearance. Keep in mind that while scars will continue to lighten, they will remain visible in revealing outfits or when you are not wearing clothes.
Because this is a complicated procedure, you should be sure that any plastic surgeon you choose has experience dealing with the unique needs of post-bariatric patients who are having combination procedures. In addition, you should plan on several weeks of downtime. Dr. McNemar will monitor your recovery closely and give you clearance when he feels you can resume work functions and other normal activities.
When you've achieved your weight loss objective, plastic surgery to remove excess skin and tissue is often the next logical step. Dr. McNemar's weight loss surgery patients from San Ramon, Walnut Creek, Modesto, and beyond choose a body lift to create a smooth and shapely contour that more closely matches the look they envisioned when they began your weight loss program. Dr. McNemar has seen how plastic surgery has the power to improve lives, and he looks forward to helping you complete your transformation. | 2019-04-26T06:02:26 | http://www.bariatricplasticsurgeon.com/bariatric-plastic-surgery/body-lift.cfm |
Whether you've just launched Tomes for the first time, or you've just finished downloading content using the ShelfServer Quick Start, this page will show you how to use Tomes's interface to read files from your device.
The initial Tomes view is the file listing table. Each file or folder is listed on this screen, sorted by its name. Unread files are shown with a blue dot indicator. Folders are shown with a folder icon, and read files are shown with no indicator. Clicking a file will open it to read. Clicking a folder will show the contents of that folder. Click the "back" button in the upper left to go back up to the next highest folder. And of course you can scroll through the list by dragging your finger on the screen.
Preferences - show global settings for fonts, colors, text encoding, etc.
Rotate lock - when unlocked, Tomes's view will change according to how you tilt your device. When locked, the view will stay in its current position, regardless of how the device is tilted.
Bookmarks - shows any bookmarks for files in the current folder.
Dowload Books - shows the Shelf interface which allows you to download books from your desktop or other near by ShelfServers.
Tomes's preferences let you set the font face and size, test encoding, and color theme. You can also reverse the tap-scroll direction (tap on the top of the screen to go forward instead of on the bottom), or mark ALL of your books "unread".
A similar preferences screen accessible while reading a book allows you to set some of these on a per-book basis.
From the file listing, the bookmarks screen shows you any bookmarks which were created on any of the files in the current directory. Files in sub-directories are not shown. Bookmarks may not be created from this screen, but only from within books.
In order to delete and file or directory, make the "swipe" gesture on that item's row. A delete confirmation button will appear, and tapping it will remove the item. Directories are deleted recursively without additional confirmation.
By tapping a file in the file listing view, Tomes will load the file and display it for reading. The first time a particular file is loaded may take slightly longer as Tomes indexes the file.
The reader view (of course) shows you the contents of your book. You can scroll either by dragging the contents around or by tapping on the top or bottom 1/4 of the screen. Tapping in the middle of the screen will hide or show the toolbars at the top & bottom.
The top toolbar allows you to go back to the directory containing this book by tapping the "back" button on the left side. On the right are previous / next navigation buttons which move through the "chunks" of the document being read. Note that small files may only have one chunk which would leave both of these buttons disabled.
Many ebook files are large. Sometimes several megabytes in size. The text and web views used to display these files have limitations much smaller than that. To get around these limits while still allowing smooth scrolling, Tomes indexes files and logically divides them into smaller pieces. Tomes attempts to divide these pieces (usually referred to as simply "chunks") at places between paragraphs, or at least between words, whenever possible. These chunks are arbitrary and have nothing to do with "chapters" or any other internal organization of the book.
Preferences -- shows both global preferences (see above) and also overrides which will apply only to the current book.
Bookmarks -- shows existing bookmarks for this file and allows adding new ones.
Start/Stop Auto-scroll -- the view will slowly scroll up on its own.
Slower/Faster Auto-scroll -- tap minus or plus to make the auto-scroll go slower or faster.
When viewing a book, bookmarks may be created or deleted in the bookmark screen. When you create a bookmark, it's left at the current position of the book. While Tomes always saves your last place in a book automatically when you close it or quit Tomes, named bookmarks allow you to mark multiple places in the file and keep them.
If you prefer not to scroll around manually, autoscroll can help. Tapping the "Play" button will make Tomes start moving the view slowly up. While scrolling, the minus/plus buttons allow you to control the speed. Your preferred speed is saved automatically and will be used every time you run Tomes. You can stop auto-scroll either by tapping the Play/Pause button a second time or by manually moving the scroll point with your finger. Autoscroll will also stop automatically when you reach the end of a chunk in a book. | 2019-04-25T15:45:58 | https://iphonetomes.com/usingbookshelf.html |

An IDC study reported that on an average knowledge workers spent about 30% of their time searching for information. While one cannot do away with this time altogether, there are a few steps one can take to significantly reduce this.
Enterprise search must understand the relationship of the document with the user and the relationship of the document creator and the user and rank documents accordingly.
Sometimes, intelligent tools can share summary information to relevant users using advanced social techniques. This will help keep teams aware and up to date with the high level state of stuff. This can be done using personalized emails or news streams.
Eventually, one needs to browse a set of documents to reach the right information one needs. Automatic summarization of documents can be of great help here. | 2019-04-23T06:20:39 | https://wizergos.com/blog/save-time-with-automatic-summarization-of-your-documents/ |

Ainsworth State Park is a small park nestled in the Columbia Gorge, less than an hour outside of Portland. There is a small loop of RV sites and a small loop of tent sites. The sites themselves are also small. We were closer to our neighbors than we have been anywhere else. We were also next to a highway and a train track. The trains didn’t blow their horns but they did come by in the night. I imagine the Parks Department was trying to fit as many sites as they could into the available area, with a mountain to the south and a river to the north, with waterfalls on either side. On the plus side, the park offers full hookup and is surrounded by beautiful trails to giant waterfalls. We are also very close to Hood River, one of our favorite towns in Oregon.
We recently had the pleasure of hosting both of Brandon’s grandmothers at the same time. They became very good friends after his parents got married and really enjoy traveling together. They are currently on a roadtrip through the western United States. They came to visit us after driving through California and before heading south again to visit Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. | 2019-04-19T22:16:32 | https://alpha1ontherun.com/2015/05/ |
Pearl Jephcott, youth and the lives of ordinary people. Pearl Jephcott produced a series of influential studies of the lives of young people, and was an important figure in the development of thinking about youth club work. She also undertook a number of studies that added significantly to our appreciation of working class life.
Agnes Pearl Jephcott (1900-1980) was a gifted social researcher and organizer. For nearly twenty years she helped to develop and sustain girls’ and mixed clubs – and displayed a marked ability to make significant relationships with young people and those that worked with them. Alongside this work Pearl Jephcott also began researching and writing about the lives and experiences of young people. Unlike many other researchers she placed an emphasis on exploring the experiences and circumstances of ‘ordinary’ young people. Her research broaden out to studies of particular neighbourhoods and social phenomenon. There was, again, an emphasis upon the lives of ‘ordinary’ people and the environments they find themselves in (particularly their housing conditions and the impact these have) – and the actions that local people can take. In this piece we examine her contribution and her significance.
Pearl Jephcott was born in Alcester, Warwickshire into a reasonably well-to-do family (her father was an auctioneer). The youngest of four children, she went to Alcester grammar school and then to the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. She graduated in 1922 with a BA in history (Turnball 2004).
Pearl Jephcott briefly took up teaching but then moved on to secretarial training. From there she went to work in the Midlands in appeal work for Dr Barnardo homes (Stovin 1946). In 1927 Jephcott began working as the organizing secretary of the Birmingham Union of Girls’ Clubs. According to Jean Stovin (1946) the work included starting one of the first Union camp houses (in Ullenhall), and finding and ‘placing’ a large number of helpers and teachers for the Union’s 70 or so affiliated clubs. In 1935 she transferred to Durham as the County Organizer with the reputation of being highly effective. She wanted to develop youth work in one of the ‘special areas’ where there was high unemployment. As Stovin again comments, in seven years Pearl Jephcott built up from two existing unions a County Association of some 80 clubs. During this time she continued to work as a youth leader (setting up and running a small village club for a number of years. Direct engagement with the lives of young women – their experiences of work, home and leisure – was the ‘keynote of her work’ (op. cit.).
In 1942 Pearl Jephcott joined the staff of the National Association of Girls’ Clubs as a temporary National Organizer doing research and taking an interest in Service Cadets. She had applied to be the education officer for the Association but lost out to Josephine Macalister Brew. In 1943 she became Publications Secretary and the editor of Club News. She was a member of a remarkable team of women working for the Association during the war. These included, in addition to Brew, Eileen Younghusband and Leslie Sewell. Whilst at the Association she completed her first major study of young women Girls Growing Up (Jephcott 1942) and Clubs for Girls which sought to suggest ‘briefly and simply the underlying purposes of young people’s clubs’ (Jephcott 1943: 6).
Pearl Jephcott gained a Barnett fellowship to follow-up the girls in her study – and this resulted in Rising Twenty (Jephcott 1948b). In 1946 Jephcott was awarded an MA by publication. The same year she left what had become the National Association of Girls’ Clubs and Mixed Clubs to work for Political and Economic Planning (PEP). There she co-authored three of its broadsheets (Turnbull 2004). As part of her research she worked incognito in a light engineering works in London reporting on the virtually non-existent interest of her fellow employees in current affairs’ and arguing for more stimulating working environments (Kynaston 2007: 324; Jephcott 1948b). In 1950 she joined the staff of Nottingham University where she worked on two projects – one funded by Rockefeller exploring the social origins of delinquency (Sprott, Carter and Jephcott 1954), the other the membership of youth organizations (Turnbull 2004). The latter project was sponsored by the King George’s Jubilee Trust and resulted in Some Young People (Jephcott 1954).
From Nottingham, Pearl Jephcott became a senior research assistant at the London School of Economics (LSE) – working in the social administration department headed by Richard Titmus. Her first research project (working with Nancy Sear and John Smith) was a study of married working women. The project, based in Bermondsey and focusing on Peek Frean’s biscuit factory did not have an easy passage (in part because Titmus was something of an elusive supervisor) – but the resulting book Married Women Working (1962) was a significant and reasoned contribution to the then popular debates around the role of working wives and mothers. Whilst at the LSE she also contributed to two landmark government reports. The first, 15-18 (CACE 1959), arose out of her membership of the Central Advisory Council for Education (England). The second was The Youth Service in England and Wales (Ministry of Education 1960) the report of the ‘Albemarle Committee’ (1958-1960) where she also represented the interests of NAYLO (the National Association of Youth Leaders and Organizers). The Report effectively set out the framework for an expanded youth service. At this time Pearl Jephcott also sought to follow-up the young women she studied in Girls Growing Up and Rising Twenty – but although the research known as ‘The Uncertain Years’ was completed it was never published (Turnbull 2004).
Pearl Jephcott then left the London School of Economics and began work on the North Kensington Family Study in 1962 (Eileen Younghusband was also involved). The resulting book A Troubled Area. Notes on Notting Hill (Jephcott 1964) explored housing conditions (especially the problem of multi-occupation dwellings), the experiences of migrants, and role of self-help – co-operative action on specific local problems. She then moved to Glasgow University to study the leisure of young people in Scotland – which resulted in Time of One’s Own (Jephcott 1967). A second project followed quickly (funded by the Joseph Rowntree Memorial Trust) – exploring the experience of high rise living. It was based on nearly 1000 interviews of residents in Glasgow tower blocks. Homes in High Flats (Jephcott 1971) was the first major British contribution to debates around high-rise living and highlighted some of the common issues people experienced.
In 1970 Pearl Jephcott left Glasgow. She travelled but continued to research and write (including undertaking a study for UNICEF on children and young people in Hong Kong). In 1973 she gained funding for a half-time post to research the needs of families in high-rise flats in Birmingham. In 1980 she suffered a stroke and died some months later at the War Memorial Hospital, Chipping Norton (9 November) (Turnbull 2004). She never married.
All presented vivid, detailed, and at times passionate pictures of little researched aspects of the lives of working-class people, particularly of girls and young women. They involved ethnographical research involving participant observation, interviews, and autobiographical accounts, and offered practical recommendations to improve the quality of life of their subjects (Turnbull 2004).
It is a pity that the final and third book in the series was never published as taken together they would have provided an accessible and vivid overview of an important period in women’s lives. The way in which the books were brought together and written considerably extended their appeal. They could be read and enjoyed by a wide cross-section of people.
Appearance – the quality of the physical environment.
A breadth of membership sharing in common activities.
A ‘good show’ i.e. plenty of different things to do.
‘Learning things’- exploring new areas and acquiring a wide range of interests.
‘Being useful’ – a club gives opportunities to do things that matter for others.
‘Friendliness’ – girls invariably stress one thing when they talked about what they valued in a club, Jephcott (1942: 45) concluded, ‘and that is some variation of the term friendliness’.
‘Someone you can talk to’. Club helpers need to be approachable, to join in, and to listen and talk with young people.
The final two chapters of the book look at the girls’ future and at buildings and people. It ends by urging helpers to continually ‘encourage the members to look outside themselves and to take a friendly and generous, never hostile, interest in people and things’ (Jephcott 1942: 68). As Annmarie Turnbull (1942: 73) comments, her book models that ideal.
In Rising Twenty (1948a) Pearl Jephcott both followed up the young women that featured in Girls Growing Up and young women from two other areas – central London and a northern industrial town (possibly Barrow according the David Kynaston 2007: 418). One of the most significant findings was the continuing power of traditional orientations to marriage and work among those she talked to. Young women for the most part did not see themselves continuing in work once they got married (a theme she was to return to later in Married Women Working).
It is a set of questions that have retained their relevance!
The three major studies of working class communities that Pearl Jephcott undertook – on the experiences of married working women in Bermondsey (1962), Notting Hill just after the riots (1964), and the experience of high-rise living in Glasgow (1971) – each made a significant contribution to their area of study. With Michael Carter she also completed an unpublished study of ‘Radby’ (edited by W. J. H. Sprott) – that Josephine Klein drew on extensively in her Samples from English Cultures (Klein 1965). The studies were all, again, written in the trademark Jephcott style.
Married Women Working (Jephcott with Sears and Smith 1962) throws considerable light on the experiences and situations facing such women and was published at a time when there was often ill-informed, debate around the subject. However, one of the most engaging features of the book is the way in which Jephcott was able to get inside the lives of local people in Bermondsey and to present their experiences truthfully. It certainly helped that she lived in the area whilst undertaking the research. Significantly, she chose to live in a poor neighbourhood next to the River Thames (Cherry Gardens), and was able to draw upon the experiences of her neighbours. In this she was following in the footsteps of settlement workers associated with both Bermondsey Settlement and the Oxford and Bermondsey Club. Pearl Jephcott was able to mix such material with data gained from more formal interviews and to create, for example, a insightful picture of the processes of ‘home-making’ and raising children.
Pearl Jephcott was able to cut through a lot of contemporary prejudices about immigrants (at this point largely from the West Indies and Pakistan) and to focus on housing – particularly the problem of multi-occupied houses. She examines the way in which migrants were not able to gain a foothold in council housing and were left to endure squalid conditions – and the impact this had upon them. One of the central chapters focuses on material gained from 20 multi-occupied houses over six months – and it is damning. Jephcott catalogues how expensive the rents were, the poor amenities, tensions around shared facilities, and the ways in which Notting Dale’s over-confined houses exposed ‘small children to so many hazards’ (Jephcott 1964: 89). In a second chapter on housing in general she brings out the nature and scale of exploitation by landlords. Another chapter examines the experiences of ‘residents from overseas’. Not unexpectedly Jephcott also looked at children’s play and adolescents’ leisure. However, one of the significant themes running through the book is that the nature of the problems are well known – what is needed is action. Importantly, while recognizing the importance of action by the state, Pearl Jephcott also examines the contribution that the considerable core of residents ‘who given some lead, might co-operate with their neighbours to tackle some of the area’s more obvious problems’ (Jephcott 1964: 19). She concludes, on the basis of three local experimental projects undertaken as part of the research, that there is considerable room for developing much better opportunities for children’s play, for example, through community co-operation. She also argues that far more work is needed to enlist the active help of local people ‘at all social levels’ (op. cit.: 140).
Homes in High Flats (Jephcott with Robinson 1971) was the first major study of the experience of high rise living in Britain. As such it was something of a landmark text. Significantly it both brought out the issues for residents e.g. problems around common parts and lifts, stress, and space for children’s play (issues that bear an uncanny resemblance to what <href=”#housing0″>Octavia Hill had identified in the 1890s), and the extent to which a many residents valued living in tower blocks (e.g. the quality of the flats themselves, the views, and the locations). Some years later Alice Coleman (1985: 11-13) was to criticize this aspect of Jephcott’s research in that Glasgow – where the research largely took place – was a special case. The previous conditions in which residents had lived were relatively problematic when compared to the high rise blocks. However, she also recognized the importance of the contribution that Pearl Jephcott had made – and the extent to which policymakers had cherry-picked her research to emphasize the positive side of high-rise living rather than deal with her findings about vandalism and stress (op. cit.: 181).
In her are blended a most refreshing sense of humour, unflagging energy, tireless patience an a real sincerity of purpose; she had not time for the dabblers and titivators of social work.
Pearl Jephcott was committed to the people she found herself among, and to working with them to build better lives. The way she approached both her work as a youth organizer and as social researcher, still repays reflection and study.

This makes them the perfect solution for responding to land based spills when it is raining, removing oil from the surface of water or in any application where you only need to absorb hydrocarbons. These pads are bonded and fitted with a cover-stock. This provides excellent wear resistance and their tensile strength is, as a result, marketing-leading. Additionally, they are perforated to allow a desired amount to be used, dependent on the size of liquid spilled. | 2019-04-20T10:11:28 | https://www.empteezy.co.uk/products/oil-selective-absorbent-pads-osp200-100-100ltr-per-pack-of-200 |

With employees across the institution facing uncertainty about their futures as Middlebury’s workforce planning process ramps up, we decided that it would be pertinent to dedicate our second special issue of the year (after our November election issue) to college staff.
We’ve spent the last few weeks reporting on some of the most important issues faced by the people who work at the college, from job insecurity to pay levels to trust in the administration. We’ve also written about some of the work they do each day: baking in Proctor, designing costumes at the Center for the Arts, driving the Zamboni, and more.
Below you’ll find a list of our full coverage this week, across all five sections of the paper. We hope you enjoy. | 2019-04-18T14:55:10 | https://middleburycampus.com/42621/uncategorized/special-edition-the-staff-issue/ |
"LEAD SHIELDING VALUE" is NOT THE X-RAY GLASS THICKNESS, but the actual thickness of lead shielding required in the wall, partition, barrier or door as calculated by a radiation physicist for x-ray gamma protection shielding, and all Lead Backed Drywall, Shielded Doors, X-Ray Glass and Lead Lined Frames that occur within that same wall segment or area must meet or exceed this shielding value. The lead shielding thickness requirement may also change from wall to wall and room to room due to many additional factors.

Well, this is it. My last post until Monday 16th November!
As a lot of you will know (due to me banging on and on about it!) I'm finally making the jump to self hosted. I know, I must be crazy!
I have debated it for a while, and I keep backing out because I know nothing about Word Press, and not much about HTML, programming or building a website. This time I'm not backing out.
When I started this blog, I went in completely blind. I had no idea what blogging entailed and had no idea about anything really. And here I am, 8 months later. I have learned so much that I thought I would never learn. Because when it's happening, you sink or swim, so I had to learn.
So I'm making the jump with the same attitude. It'll work because it has to. I will learn because I have to.
The worst thing that can happen (famous last words!) is that I won't be able to successfully import all of the posts from here. If that happens, I will cry! Seriously though, I've started from scratch once and I can do it again.
So I make the jump with an attitude of que sera sera! Part of me is terrified it goes horribly wrong, but the bigger part of me is so excited. It feels like the right time to make the jump.
These last few weeks, I have decided I'm sick of eating rubbish food and drinking sugar laden drinks. I decided to start eating a bit healthier. It is something I have thought about for a while and have finally started doing.
I know a lot of people want to be healthier, but often it is finding the motivation to start that is the problem.
Also, I think a lot of people think it is going to be very expensive. If you choose to eat 100% organic etc, I agree it can be expensive, but just to make a few sensible changes, it doesn't have to break the bank. Especially with supermarkets such as Aldi doing such good deals on fruit and vegetables.
What I am talking about here isn't a diet, it is a lifestyle change. I believe the word diet has negative connotations. It conjures up images of weighing food, restricting everything and feeling hungry all the time. For me, healthy eating should be about feeling better not worse.
Also, a diet has an end time. Healthy eating as a lifestyle choice doesn't. Being healthier is the goal, not losing a couple of pounds.
A good way to be healthier is to not over eat. Most people eat portions that are too big without even realising it. And how often do you keep eating once you feel full just because there is still food on your plate?
A good way to combat this is to use a smaller plate. A large plate with a small portion on can look like you aren't getting much, whereas a smaller plate that is full visually looks the same, but you won't feel stuffed after your meal.
This will also help reduce costs as you aren't using as much food.
If the thought of weighing and measuring food fills you with dread (it does me, I couldn't think of a better way to put me off eating healthily than if I have to weigh every meal!), try the 50/25/25 method.
It doesn't have to be exact, but basically, your plate should contain 50% vegetables or salad, 25% lean protein such as chicken or fish and 25% complex carbs such as brown rice or sweet potatoes.
For example, if you love pizza, instead of buying one, make your own healthy version. So you could use a wholemeal base, plenty of tomato and a little bit of low fat cheese, then some vegetables as a topping.
Firstly, I would say if you are using a reward system to motivate yourself, you shouldn't be using food as a reward, as this builds the wrong relationship with food. Food is fuel for your body, nothing more and using it as a reward makes it something more than that. Try to think of none food related treats - a day at the spa, a bubble bath, a new lipstick, whatever you fancy that's not food.
Having said that, there is nothing wrong with having the odd treat. For example, if you are going to a party or a special restaurant, have whatever you want as long as it isn't too often!
After a few weeks of eating better, you will find yourself automatically making the healthy choice, as healthy eating becomes a habit in the same way that eating junk food became a habit.
I've worked as a barmaid for 12 years.
Mostly, it's ok, even a bit of a laugh at times, but sometimes, like any job, I want to scream and shout and swear.
Overall, I enjoy it as jobs go. I have done a lot worse. It is very different to what I thought it would be. I stupidly thought that people would come to the bar, request their drinks, pay and go sit down. If only!
There are many people who make the job fun, and interesting, but the ones that stick in my mind are generally the ones I have wanted to strangle for various reasons. On the plus side, those customers make the best stories.
1. The customer is very rarely right, yet they always think they are.
Anyone who still believes the customer is always right has never had to deal with the general public. If you are right, we will fix the issue without arguing, probably before you even notice there is an issue.
This also includes customers who outright lie in an attempt to get something free. We have heard it all before!
2. Even the nicest person turns into a whiney brat when they don't get their own way.
I understand you have drank here for ten years, but your half a lager once a week doesn't pay the bills, so no I can't turn the music off to suit you when the other 100 people in the pub want it on. This is usually followed by the person declaring they are never coming back and flouncing off like a four year old. The following week, they return at their usual time.
3. There IS such a thing as a stupid question!
* "Do you have a toilet?" Bear in mind this wasn't someone walking off the street just to use it, it was someone drinking in the pub!
* "Why is this round dearer than the last one?" Because last round, you get 2 pints, this round you got 3. He wasn't convinced it should be more, even though he accepted he had gotten an extra drink!
* "Is the bar still open?" This is not a stupid question in itself, but in this context it was. It was around 8pm on a Saturday night, we were heaving and were quite obviously serving people.
* "What's in a gin and tonic?"
* And my personal favourite, while standing in front of a sink, "Where do I get water from?"
4. That anything that can go wrong will wait until the busiest/least convenient moment possible.
Nothing ever breaks on a Monday morning, it's always a Saturday night! Whether it's the till, the ice machine or anything else that can make your life hell, it will happen at your busiest time.
This is likely due to the fact you are using it more at those times, but in the moment that logic doesn't help.
5. That it's really not that bad.
For all some customers are so frustrating you could happily scream yourself hoarse, its really not that bad. You learn pretty quickly to grow a thick skin, laugh it off and ignore the chaos. There are much worse ways to earn a living, and you will definitely get a laugh along the way. And for every customer you want to punch, there are 30 or 40 nice customers that make you realise it could be a lot worse!
I love fireworks, I always have. I enjoy going to the big displays, although I haven't been in a few years as I always seem to be working the nights they are on.
I also love an at home display with family and friends and a nice warm cuppa!
The advantages of an at home display (other than a decent coffee!) are not having to mess about getting to the display area, no parking wars, and you can watch from inside if you can't stand the cold.
The disadvantages are the extortionate prices of fireworks these days, and of course the safety aspect.
I firmly believe you can do an at home display safely with a bit of planning and some common sense!
1. Firstly, avoid the term firework party when inviting people. I know it might sound more fun than display, but it also sounds like a boozy event. The last thing you want around fireworks is people who have had a drink or two too many.
If you want to have drinks, try a hot cider or mulled wine for through the fireworks, and serve the other drinks after the display.
Perhaps compromise, and invite people to a display with an after party.
2. Make sure the person responsible for setting up and lighting the fireworks knows what they are doing and follows the instructions.
3. Always point the fireworks away from the area where people will be standing or sitting.
4. Make sure children are watched closely so they don't wander off into any dangerous areas. Cordon them off if possible.
5. Ensure the fireworks are stored safely prior to the event. Somewhere cool, with no risk of naked flames or sparks and out of the reach of children. Ideally, not in your home!
6. Make sure children are wearing gloves when holding sparklers and that they are supervised by an adult.
7. Have a fire extinguisher/fire blanket close to hand. It's unlikely you will need it if the fireworks are set off properly, but it's better safe than sorry! Also, have a sand bucket or a bucket of water to put used up fireworks into just to be certain they are out.
8. Don't skimp on quality! If you can't afford legitimate, tested fireworks from a reputable retailer, don't buy them! If the deal sounds too good too be true, chances are it is, and the fireworks may not be up to safety standards!
9. Never hold a firework in your hands to light it (except sparklers).
10. if a firework doesn't go off, don't bend over it in case it is just a bit slow. Give it a minute or two and when you are sure it is not going to work, throw some water over it from a distance before approaching it.
Remember, whether you are having a display or not, the noise of the fireworks will scare pets.
-Keep them indoors, and have some background noise in the room with them.
-Don't leave them alone where possible.
Today's post is a guest post all about the village of Ludlow, written by travel blogger Tiffany from The Amateur Anthropologist.
What do you get when you mix anthropology, food, fashion & travel? You get me, the Amateur Anthropologist (hence the name of my blog). Dreamer, globe trekker and beginner baker, my motto is "live life to the fullest before it runs out".
If you asked someone that knows me, be it a friend or family member, how they would describe me, one characteristic that will undoubtedly be mentioned is organized.
There’s a chilling sense of anxiety that arises whenever I feel unprepared. And although, it’s not a positive one, but it does motivate me to plan well ahead.
I’ve had troubles in crafting my timetable way too far in advance. Thankfully with experience, I’ve learnt to tweak this so that I can prepare just in time.
It applies to all areas I’ve touched in life, both in work and play. You can tell that travelling is not an exception.
Although it may seem rather tedious looking up train and bus times, and calculating which one to take to maximize my exploration duration, it does make my voyages far easier to experience.
So, in short, I’m a talking, breathing and walking PDA.
Generally speaking, the plans I create work out the way they’re supposed to. But sometimes they don’t, and on this occasion, they didn't.
Upon reading an article online about the quirks of England, I suddenly changed course and navigated myself to a small market village in Shropshire called Ludlow.
The author had recommended this place due to its history, medieval architecture, and range of independent stores, set upon a delightful hillside environment. There wasn’t a single part of his description that sounded unattractive to me, so I was more than keen to find out.
And I am pleased to report, he was truly spot on with his suggestion.
If you ever visit Ludlow, an obvious place to head to is the Castle. Situated near the mighty River Teme, this medieval fortification offers a wealth of history to enlighten the minds of the young and old. Being one of the first English stone castles ever constructed, its exterior and interior truly deserves an equal amount of admiration. And needless to say, there’s more than enough areas forming the ruined landmark to fill the adventurous side of all visitors (it certainly did for me).
A big tip would be to challenge oneself to head up one of the taller towers, like the North-West one. Although the steps are narrow and steep, I can assure you that you’ll definitely be rewarded with the most spectacular view this late 11th century landmark can provide.
In truth, shopping is a hobby of mine. Be it for clothes, stationary or food, the chance to spend the day purchasing attractive products can be somewhat relaxing to me at times. Although high street shops are appealing, I’d much prefer going to an independent store and browsing through their stock. Why? Simply because of the desire to be unique. I mean, what’s the point in buying an outfit that everyone else has when you can acquire something different that will help you stand out?
Fearlessly independent – that’s my motto for fashion.
So, you can probably guess that I was immensely thrilled to see the vast range and quantity of independent retailers dotted all around Ludlow town center. To me, each boutique had a personal glow or aura which shone brightly in the slightly grayish rainy day. This was further reinforced by the friendly and warm attitudes that every owner and employee which I met bore.
It was as though I had stepped through a portal that led my wandering self into a treasure trove of hand-crafted trinkets, treats and toys. An irreplaceable sight, as you can imagine. My longstanding understanding of Yarm (North East England) as the King/Queen of little boutiques had definitely been surpassed by the brilliance of Ludlow.
Until next time, dearest lovely little Ludlow.

Welcome to the first thought of the week post!
As regular readers will know, I usually write a weekly thought of the day round up where I post a quote for each day of the week.
I have been having a think about this, and I have decided that a post with seven quotes in it is a bit much and I think they are getting a bit repetitive, so I have decided to change the format slightly.
I will still be posting my daily thought of the day on Twitter, then I will choose my favourite one to post here in a thought of the week post.
Welcome to the Anything Goes linky, week 21!
The Anxious Dragon with Why is self hosting important for blogging?
Congratulations :) Don't forget to grab your badge!
November is going to be a bit of a mish-mash! Originally listed as Entertainment and Travel for the first half of November, then Health and Fitness for the second half, the plan has changed slightly.
As most of you will know by now, I am going self hosted this month (I know, I must be mad!). This will be starting on the 9th November, so from the 8th I expect my blog to be offline for about a week.
So I thought rather then try to have a theme as such, I will just be posting whatever I fancy on the day!
There will be some of the original posts I had planned, plus a few posts (probably rather ranty) about the process of moving, and just some bits and bobs, plus some of my regular features too!

A typical example of a country doctor during the early years of the settlement of Brookhaven town was the Rev. David Rose, who was pastor of the Presbyterian churches at South Haven and Middle Island from 1765 until his death in 1799. He prepared himself to be a physician at Yale College, where he was graduated with the class of 1760. Afterwards, he turned to the ministry, but his knowledge of medicine proved of great value to him through the years, he combined the work of pastor, doctor and teacher at South Haven and Middle Island.
In those days, most families had domestic remedies for their ailments, and it was part of the training of a good housewife to know the different herbs, what ailments they were to be used for, and where to find them in the woods. Catnip was supposed to be soothing to the nerves, Indian posy acted as a tonic, boneset was good for fevers, and skunk cabbage was used for rheumatism. “Yarb teas” of all kinds were used for most of the common ailments.
The doctors did not seem to know a great deal about handling different kinds of sickness in those days, and “bleeding and a purge” were both used in case of sickness. If the patient recovered, the doctor got the credit for it, and if he died, it was charged to Providence. The following incident is recorded in the diary of a Middle Island woman in 1888, after her grandfather and grandmother had been thrown from the wagon in which they were riding when the horse ran away. “Papa went as quick as possible and brought them back, and then went after the doctor. He came and bled grandfather, and believes there are no bones broken.” An interesting account of the fees charged during the years when “Priest” Rose practiced the profession is given in an account book of Dr. White of Southampton. The fee for a visit in the vicinity was one shilling; for more than a mile distant, three shillings; for a night visit, four shillings; for an all-night visit and medicine, the fee was nine shillings and sixpence. As was true of the minister’s salary, the doctor was paid largely in farm produce. One bill of nine pounds, seven shillings was paid in “sundries”—apples, flax, wood, pears, timothy-seed, beans, clams, fish, eels, pigs, watermelons and geese. | 2019-04-26T15:36:17 | http://build.longwood.k12.ny.us/community/longwood_journey/time_periods/colonial_period/the_colonial_doctor |

It all began 10,000 years ago with the wild bezoar goat up in the mountain regions between Iran and Iraq. This sociable goat often sought the company of man, and gradually joined him in on the migratory routes towards Europe. The goat wandered steadily northward until it finally reached Norway.
During Viking times goats were kept on board the longships headed for the islands to the west, and in Norse mythology Heidrun the goat lived on the roof of the great hall of the gods. From her udders flowed a constant stream of mead which quenched the thirst of gods and warriors.
Goats are unique in that they provide us with milk, meat, hide and company. They have the capacity to exploit natural resources more than almost any other animal. Goats are said to eat just about anything; a generalisation which is not that far from the truth. Thanks to a digestive system that can break down almost all types of organic material and an intensely inquisitive nature, the goat would have to be in dire straits before it ever died from starvation.
The animals are kept on the summer pastures from mid-June until mid-September. For the rest of the year they are kept in their barns in the lowlands, in the villages. When the weather is mild with no snow they are left out to graze on home pastures, sometimes right up until the month of December. Many goat farms have large, modern barns with plenty of room for the goats to leap around and apparatus to meet their need for constant activity. All the same, nothing can compare with life in the summer pastures.
The goat can perform the most amazing acrobatic feats if it finds something tasty to eat, whether it be on a mountain precipice or at the top of a tree. They can go just about anywhere – which is why it is so difficult to fence them in. Because the goats are so active, they do not get the chance to become fat. Neither goat’s milk nor goat’s cheese has a particularly high fat content.
Goats are independent and obstinate creatures, and can sometimes just – well – get your goat! But they also have one redeeming characteristic; their charm. A more human-friendly, playful and social animal is hard to find.
Be in no doubt; goats are smart creatures!
The goat is a sensitive animal that requires a lot of looking after. The milkmaids on the summer farms and the workers tending the goats in the barns during the winter months soon realise that each goat has a personality all of its own. Their inquisitive and social nature demands a lot of attention. And they get it. With so many different personalities to deal with, it is important to have the time to observe the goats closely, and to take a few minutes every day to look them straight in the eye. This is also a good way of detecting sickness. | 2019-04-22T12:03:09 | http://www.snofrisk.com/article/from-the-mountains-to-your-table |

Digicel Tonga’s Senior Management Team and staff spent the day at the Mango Tree Centre to celebrate Christmas.
Eighty children were treated to songs, Christmas gifts and a lunch hosted by Digicel.
The Disability Centre for Kids has been supported by Digicel for a number of years and it continues to produce fruitful results in the improvement of physical and intellectual disabilities particularly for children across the Kingdom.
Mango Tree was officially commissioned this very month in 2013 by the Government of Japan.
The Centre was built to address the immediate needs of the country in a wide range of areas that had direct impact on communal and socio-economic activities of Tonga.
It is that very need that 5 years to-date Digicel has continued to support Mango Tree every year.
Digicel is proud to offer support throughout the year with Internet services, TV, Bible camps and fuel to allow our children transportation from their homes to this Centre.
It is critical part of our mandate that we provide the necessary support to our communities and that also extends to our services for people with physical and intellectual disabilities here in Tonga, especially our Children. Digicel wishes all children at Mango Tree Centre, their parents and volunteers a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.
Speaking on behalf of Digicel at the programme was Dennis Fuapau, Head of Business Solutions. | 2019-04-21T06:31:44 | http://www.looptonga.com/community/team-tonga-spreads-ma%E2%80%99alahi-christmas-mango-tree-centre-81129 |

A great cooler for the TR4 socket, but unnecessary for other sockets.
Traditionally speaking, Enermax has done an excellent job on packaging. The box here is no exception. It has a great design on the outside, and the cardboard insert helps space the product from the edges so the cooler is nicely protected. While not uncommon for CPU coolers, the packaging here is easily reused as well.
An interesting aspect of the LIQTech TR4 II is that there isn’t very many mounting pieces of hardware. The Threadripper socket has built in mounts around the chip, so Enermax doesn’t have to add much. That said, we’re going to mod this for AM4 so the hardware is little use to us. The manual is simple enough, but has adequate details in my opinion to help users with the install process.
In most ways, the LIQTech TR4 II is very similar to other CLC products. The radiator is typical aluminum construction, the hoses have a braided sleeve finish, and the block has the Enermax logo proudly on display. However, a couple of details help this cooler stand out. I really appreciate the rugged aesthetic additions to the radiator and fans. While it forgoes the fancy RGB illumination that other CLCs opt for, it coincides with a more professional look as well.
When it comes time to stand out, the ginormous size of the block tells you what this cooler is about. The cold plate is designed to cover the entire heat spreader of a Threadripper CPU. The concept is a great idea for helping with cooling performance. However, I’m curious if the larger block will also help with mainstream Ryzen cooling. It’s time to get the drill out because we’re going to do some modding! | 2019-04-23T07:53:51 | http://www.pureoverclock.com/Review-detail/enermax-liqtech-tr4-ii-cpu-cooler-review/2/ |
Powers Boothe passed away in his sleep on May 14th, 2017. He was less a month away from his 69th birthday.
Boothe is best remembered for his performances in films like Red Dawn (1984), Tombstone (1993), and Sin City (2005), as well as television series like 24, Nashville, Deadwood, and Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones, for which he won an Emmy Award for Outstanding lead Actor In A Limited Series in 1980. Countless industry figures have taken to social media to pay their respects to Boothe, including close friend Beau Bridges and his Red Dawn co-star Lea Thompson.
Learn more about Boothe, his personal life, and his family with these five facts.
Boothe was married to his high school sweetheart, Pamela Cole. They both also attended Texas State University together.
They were married at the time of his death, according to his death certificate. They were married for 48 years.
Boothe was born in Snyder, Texas, according to his obituary in the Los Angeles Times.
His father, Merrill Vestal, was a cotton farmer and later raised chicken in East Texas. His mother was Kathryn Boothe.
“As the son of a share cropper, Powers was proud of his heritage. He proved to himself and others that with hard work and dedication you can do anything,” according to the obituary.
Boothe’s affinity for ranches led to him purchasing his own in Los Angeles, California, where he raised and trained racing horses. This hobby, along with raising a family, was made possible by Boothe’s net worth, which, according to Celebrity Net Worth, was an estimated $8 million.
Dating back to the start of his acting career in the late 1970s, Boothe steadily worked in theatre, film, and television, where he typically played tough guys like the title role in Philip Marlowe, Private Eye (1983-86) or Jackson Swallow in Into the Homeland (1987), which earned him a CableACE nomination for Best Actor In Movie or Miniseries. He took up voiceover work later in his career, with credits in the video games Area 51 (2005), Turok (2008) and Hitman: Absolution (2012). Boothe was also an avid supporter of the SAG Foundation.
While Boothe was born and raised in Texas, he moved to Los Angeles in the early 1980s with his wife Pam. He spent the majority of his career living there, and the city serves as a hometown for his eldest son and daughter, and the countless horses he owned. That being said, Boothe’s heart remained in the south, and he often delight in visiting various areas during filming.
Boothe and Cole gave birth to two children during their marriage. There is Preston, 28, who is a graduate of the University of California, and Parisse, 34, both of whom followed in their father’s footsteps and became players in Hollywood.
Preston’s lone acting credit was in the 2007 sports drama The Final Season, while Parisse, though appearing as actress in Drain Baby (2011) and Straight A’s (2013), has gone the route of executive producer on films like Sin City (2005), MacGruber (2008), and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014), all of which starred her father.
He also has a grandson, Ryder, who is Parisse’s son with her husband, Dallas, according to his obituary.
Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this report incorrectly said that Powers Boothe was divorced and remarried in 2007. He was never divorced and never married to anyone other than his wife, Pamela Cole Boothe, according to public records. He also did not have two young children at the time of his death. We regret the error.

Cookbook lovers, clear some space on the shelf. It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year: fall cookbook season. Every autumn, publishers release stacks on stacks of cookbooks just in time for the holiday season, and, as ever, this year is a doozy. Here are some highlights, but these only scratch the surface of 2017’s new releases. Stay tuned for much, much more.
These are not your grandmother’s all-purpose cookbooks. Modern cookbook authors are reinventing the genre, including this fall’s Smitten Kitchen Every Day by Deb Perelman and Alison Roman’s Dining In. Because dinner can, in fact, taste good and be fun to make every night of the week.
Bread is a big theme for fall, with a number of intriguing titles coming out. First is the absolute mammoth, 5-volume Modernist Bread by Nathan Myhrvold, which, while certain to be thorough, is arguably not everyone’s loaf of bread at a list price of $625. There’s also no-knead master Jim Lahey’s Sullivan Street Bakery Cookbook, which focuses on breads made with a sourdough starter, as well as Zingerman’s Bakehouse by Amy Emberling and Frank Carollo, who share bread recipes and sweeter treats from Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Into Instant Pots? Slow cooker superfan? These kitchen helpers are getting a star turn with cookbooks from big names, including Dinner in an Instant by Melissa Clark of the New York Times, and The Chef and the Slow Cooker by Georgia chef Hugh Acheson.
Some of the world’s best cuisines will get some shine this fall. Mamushka author Olia Hercules investigates the foods of her family’s heritage in Kaukasis, while Andy Ricker tips a few back in his second cookbook, The Drinking Food of Thailand. Meanwhile, in Italy, husband-and-wife team Gabriele Corcos and Debi Mazar offer Super Tuscan, and Serena Cosmo promises to teach you the ins and outs of 400 different pasta shapes in The Ultimate Pasta and Noodle Book.
As far as US regional books go, the Homesick Texan herself, Lisa Fain, offers an ode to melty cheese with Queso!, while New England chef Matt Jennings looks at the foods of the Northeast in Homegrown, and The Washington Post’s Joe Yonan explores recipes from America’s best chefs in [America the Great Cookbook]. What I'm most excited for, though, is Oglala Lakota chef Sean Sherman’s The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen, which promises to be an invaluable resource on indigenous cuisine.
Every fall sees plenty of chef and restaurant cookbooks, and 2017 is no exception. Be on the lookout for titles from Night + Market, Eleven Madison Park, Kachka, The Juhu Beach Club, State Bird Provisions, and Joule. And a special shouts to celebrated Chicago chef Paul Kahan, whose Cheers to the Publican is much antcipated, as well as Wylie Dufresne’s long-awaited wd~50.
And, finally, let's not forget about the booze books. Autumn’s top two titles? 3-Ingredient Cocktails by Robert Simonson (aka the cocktail book you’ve always wished you had) and Meehan’s Bartender Manual by Jim Meehan, which is aimed at professionals, but promises to be a good insight into the world of bartending.
What cookbooks are you looking forward to this season? Tell me in the comments!
I'm obsessed with Tieghan Gerard's blog Half Baked Harvest and am SO excited she's coming out with a cookbook this fall! Here photos are beautiful and food combos are on point.
It's my favorite time of the year 📚📚📚 Can't wait to grab a few, ok, a pile, ok, a large pile 😍 Sit, sip coffee, read, dream, and get inspired!
Slater, Lawson, Ottolenghi -- yes!!! But, I've been a Melissa Clark fan for years, love her NYT column and have some of her earlier cookbooks, but I'm so disappointed by "Dinner: Changing the Game" in the Food52 Cookbook Club that I think I'll take a pass on her newest. In fact, I'm going to be more hesitant about jumping into the Cookbook Club (and BakingBook Club) choices from now on.
I am hella stoked about Alison Roman's book (big fan), but there are so many great British books coming out too! Nigel Slater's Christmas Chronicles, Nigella with At My Table, Giorgio Locatelli's Made at Home, The Little Library Cookbook by Kate Young whose articles for the Guardian are always so nostalgic and charming, The Modern Cook's Year by Anna Jones, and I am also super stoked for Kaukasis by Olia Hercules, as you mentioned, AND Ottolenghi has a new baking and dessert book coming out, simply title Sweet! Fall cookbook season is my superbowl fam.
I TOTALLY agree. I tend not to include UK/Canadian/Australian releases in these round ups unless I'm absolutely sure it's the US release, because sometimes they come out on the same date and sometimes they come out, like, a year later. Anyway to that end, also super stoked about Simon Thibault's Pantry and Palate (Canadian, Acadian food).
I'm so excited to see a cookbook from the always-excellent files of Alison Roman. Melissa Clark's recipes promise delicious results!! | 2019-04-24T08:47:37 | https://food52.com/blog/20281-2017-fall-cookbooks |
