This session with participants from Marsh & McLennan, Google, and CF Industries explored a range of challenges when deal negotiations are leaked to the media, investors, or employees.
Data from the Cass Business School / Intralinks Annual M&A Leaks Report set the stage by providing information on significant pre-announcement trading across a large sample of deals.
In modern M&A, virtually every public deal is subject to a lawsuit. Fortunately for boards and the companies they serve, recent Delaware court decisions have provided paths for securing more lenient forms of judicial transaction review. | 2019-04-25T23:48:54 | https://www.transactionadvisors.com/articles-by-professional/95621/Doug%20Barnard%2C%20Esq |

France has put its planned tax hikes on vehicle fuel on hold. This is the second time in recent years that mass protests and direct action against tax increases has forced the government to back down. The first case was the bonnets rouges of Brittany who forced the government to rescind a new tax on highway transport.
In this latest victory, the people called themselves the gilets jaunes or “yellow vests” after the vests they wore to identify themselves and each other in the protests (French drivers are required to carry a yellow safety vest around with them just in case, so this was an easy symbol for a mass movement to obtain on short notice).
They stopped traffic at highway, roadway, and roundabout blockades, and also blockaded fuel ports, depots, and refineries. As the dissent grew, and proved to have wide popular support, and as the government proved intransigent — with president Macron insisting that the tax would go through as planned — the protests grew riotous in the heart of Paris.
The success of the protests has led to copycat movements elsewhere in Europe.
Wikipedia has a pretty good article summarizing what has happened so far.
In the next chapter of the Politics , Aristotle takes up the political proposals of Hippodamus of Miletus.
The polis will be carefully-planned, consisting of 10,000 people, divided into three classes: skilled workers, farmers, and military (who are the only ones to possess arms).
The territory will be zoned into sacred, public, and private areas. The private land belongs to the farmers. The produce from the public land is used to support the military. Produce from sacred land is devoted to religious purposes.
There will be three divisions of law: hubris (it seems to have proven difficult to determine what this word means in the ancient Greek legal context; it could be sexual assaults or morals offenses, or outrages against widely-understood norms of behavior, or something like that), “damage” (blabê — implying damage to property only, I think), and homicide. A Supreme Court would be instituted to hear appeals of cases when it appeared that they might have been decided poorly.
Rather than a guilty/not-guilty binary verdict, jurors will be encouraged to each submit a more nuanced verdict according to their opinion of the case. This way, if a juror believes that a defendant is liable, but not to the extent the plaintiff alleges, the juror isn’t restricted to a simple guilty/not-guilty (either one of which might seem to be “false to his oath” as a juror), but can adjust the damages appropriately.
Officials will be elected by the people.
Aristotle begins his critique by suggesting that Hippodamus’s division of the people into classes will be destabilizing. “[T]he farmers have no arms, the craftsmen have neither land nor arms, and this makes them virtually the slaves of those who do possess arms.” The military in such a state will not be sufficiently motivated to share power equally.
Apparently also Hippodamus was not clear as to how the public land would be tended so as to provide for the military from its produce. Would the military class maintain it themselves? If so, they are like the farmer class but with the extra burden of serving in the military and without the benefit of private ownership of land. If instead, that land is cultivated by the farmer class, then each farmer is burdened by having to take care of two families. Perhaps that’s not a big deal, but it makes the division of public and private land pointless (why not make all the land privately owned by farmers but just require farmers to devote some portion of their produce to feeding the military class?). If instead there is some other group — neither the farmers nor the military — who tends this land, then that fourth class of person needs to be added to Hippodamus’s scheme and their place in society better-explained.
Aristotle next criticizes Hippodamus’s jury reform proposals. He thinks that giving juries more discretion is probably unwise; it goes against the grain of well-meaning reforms instituted by legislators of his day. He also wonders how, if each juryman renders a different and nuanced verdict, these verdicts are to be reconciled into a single verdict. Aristotle isn’t worried about jurors being false to their oaths by rendering a binary verdict in a case in which more nuance might be better. He says that if the indictment is written precisely, this shouldn’t be an issue: if you believe someone is not liable for ₯200, but is liable for ₯100, it’s no violation of your oath to say simply that she is not liable for ₯200 if that is the question you are asked to decide.
Aristotle next addresses Hippodamus’s idea that the state should reward “those who discover something advantageous to the state.” He here exhibits a strong conservatism: once a state has adopted a good constitution, he thinks, it should be very suspicious of innovation, and should certainly not encourage it.
He knows that this is difficult to swallow. How can new ideas that are prima facie “advantageous” be harmful? Aristotle admits that in other disciplines, like medicine and exercise “and generally in every skill and faculty” innovation has been beneficial. Why should statecraft be different?
[W]e must say that there will be need of the very greatest caution. In a particular case we may have to weigh a very small improvement against the danger of getting accustomed to casual abrogation of the laws; in such a case, obviously, we must tolerate a few errors on the part of lawmakers and rulers. A man will receive less benefit from changing the law than damage from becoming accustomed to disobey authority. For the example of the crafts [where improvements are incontrovertibly good] is false; there is a difference between altering a craft and altering a law. The law has no power to secure obedience save the power of habit, and that takes a long time to become effective. Hence easy change from established laws to new laws means weakening the power of the law.
This brought to mind an argument I found persuasive in Sissela Bok’s Lying: Moral Choice in Public and Private Life . Bok wrote that when we are evaluating whether or not to be honest or deceptive in a certain situation, we need to think not only of the isolated instance of the particular lie and its effect on the person or persons being directly deceived, but we need to also take into account the effects of the lie on the character of the liar, on the culture of communication and trust, and on by-standers.
But I’m also reminded of Captain Vere in Herman Melville’s Billy Budd , who shared Aristotle’s conservative suspicion of innovation and his defensiveness about existing institutions, and who ended up prosecuting and presiding over the execution of a man he knew was “innocent before God,” in order to rigidly defend the sacred rule of law. “Our avowed responsibility is in this,” he told the jury: “That however pitilessly that law may operate, we nevertheless adhere to it and administer it.” And this in part was because to flinch from duty would send a message throughout the fleet that the law was only a sometimes-thing that might be put aside on occasion.
Is a society governed by law so fragile and valuable that law should almost always be prioritized over conscience, as Captain Vere and Aristotle say, or is the opposite true, as as Thoreau famously argued? My own sympathies lie with Thoreau, so it will be educational for me to spend some time with the arguments of someone who has the opposite view. | 2019-04-24T08:25:57 | https://sniggle.net/TPL/index5.php?entry=05Dec18 |
Tasted at Bordeaux Index’s “10-Year On” tasting in London. Even compared to the Haut-Batailley, the Grand Puy Lacoste does not have the same degree of vigour or delineation. Muffled graphite and earthy scents try to offer some glimmer of life, but it seems very subdued. The palate is medium-bodied with a gamey entry. The acidity is quite low and there is a touch of brettanomyces that become more evident towards the finish and this seems to inhibit the fruit. This is one of the very few vintages where I prefer the Haut-Batailley to GPL.

Are all of your products suitable for Vegans?
Are your products suitable for my kids?
Are your products independently tested for quality?
I’m not a Vegan or a Vegetarian, are your products still suitable for me?
I’m concerned about Fukushima. Do your products contain any components sourced from regions affected by this?
How do you obtain your Algae?
Do you have a Halal certificate for your products?
Yes. Opti3, Vitashine, VegVit and Joint-Vie™ are all suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans. We have registered each product with the Vegan Society and the Vegetarian Society, and shared our formula details with them in doing so. We are proud to display both society logos on our product bottle and website.
Opti3 is great for kids! We are always being contacted by happy parents telling us how much improvement in concentration and attentiveness they see in their children when taking Opti3. There is a great deal of evidence linking Omega-3 with brain function and development. We strongly recommend giving Opti3 to your kids. For younger kids, many of our customers squeeze the capsules to add the oil to food.
Yes. It is widely recommended that children are given Vitamin D3 and we recommend using the Vitashine Spray, at a daily dose of 200IU per day (1 spray) for younger children increasing in line with recommendations from your Doctor. Vitashine tablets are very small and can be chewed so are also easy for children to take.
Joint-Vie™ is great for kids, especially in helping support their active and sporty lifestyle. We’ve added a break-bar to Joint-Vie™ to help make it easier for children to take. We do recommend Joint-Vie™ for children aged 11 and over simply as the tablets are quite large, but the formula itself is suitable for all ages and the break-bar will help younger consumers.
Opti3, Vitashine, Joint-Vie and VegVit are all perfect supplements during pregnancy and breast feeding. For Vegans and Vegetarians trying to conceive and during pregnancy we believe a combination of Opti3 and VegVit provides the perfect daily supplement regime. We always suggest you seek advice from your Health Practitioner before taking any supplements, and especially if wishing to combine our products with any other supplements you are taking.
Interesting one! In terms of quality and purity our products are beyond organic. However in the case of Opti3 we ferment our microalgae and it is not considered to be organic as it is not grown in the ground! In the case of Vitashine we do perform an extraction process (only natural, harmless compounds, no harmful solvents) which takes it away from being certifiable as organic.
From a scientific perspective we would put our products against any organic product on the market and easily demonstrate comparable and superior purity. However to date Organic certifiers need to see soil involved, which isn’t always the case for us!
We design and manufacture all of our products here in the United Kingdom. Our team has vast experience of nutrition and we are continually researching new and exciting opportunities.
Yes. Before any product batches are released for sale we submit them to an independent accredited laboratory to analyse for quality and compliance. We make this data available to any and all relevant authorities.
Many of our customers are not Vegans or Vegetarians but are alarmed at unsustainable fishing practises plus have concerns about the presence of heavy metals and toxins in fish. Opti3 is 100% pure and sustainable alternative to fish oil as a source of Omega-3.
We regularly hear from customers concerned over pesticides (inc. sheep dip) that may contaminate Lanolin-origin Vitamin D3. Vitashine is a 100% plant-source alternative with zero pesticides or harmful solvents used at any stage.
We love sharks, and so do loads of our customers. Joint-Vie™ contains Phytodroitin™, a 100% plant-origin alternative to Chondroitin, a compound obtained from animal sources including sharks.
The VegVit formula goes way beyond simply being a Vegetarian and Vegan multivitamin. It is the result of long-term research into vitamin and mineral absorption and has been ‘engineered’ to provide the body with the correct forms and combinations.
No. We are incredibly careful where we source every single component to ensure the quality and purity of our products. We ensure no components are obtained from regions affected by the tragedy in Fukushima.
Our products are food supplements, made in Europe. There is no ‘FDA Approval’ process for food supplements here.
The microalgae we use are grown in special vessels at a pharmaceutical-quality facility, not extracted from the oceans. We can confirm they are 100% pollutant-free. We have complete control over the purity.
No we don’t. They are Halal suitable, but not certified yet.
Yes we offer tracking on orders. Depending where you are located, we may offer the option to add tracking or choose untracked. This is confirmed once you select to purchase products and calculate shipping based on your address.
We offer a 100% satisfaction policy. Therefore if you are not satisfied with our products for any reason, we will provide a full refund upon their return. If the unlikely event of receiving damaged goods, we will offer either a replacement or refund.
We will not share your details with any third party. We store your contact details and may send details of news or offers by email from time-to-time. You will always have the option to unsubscribe from such communications.

WASHINGTON — The Open Book on Equal Access to Justice Act, H.R. 752, passed the House of Representatives today. Rep Doug Collins (R-Ga.), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced this legislation to provide greater transparency over government payments and to ensure the law works as intended for veterans, small business owners and individuals.
“Transparency is a key tool in helping protect American citizens from a bloated federal bureaucracy,” said Collins.
Congress passed the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA) in 1980 to help individuals and small businesses recover attorney’s fees and costs associated with defending themselves against federal government lawsuits. Congress intended EAJA to remove a barrier to justice for those with limited access to the resources it takes to defend themselves from the federal government. This legislation reinstates reporting requirements under EAJA by requiring the creation of a public and searchable database to house these records. | 2019-04-22T06:07:48 | https://republicans-judiciary.house.gov/press-release/open-book-on-equal-access-to-justice-act-passes-house/ |

Listening to even her admirers assess her career now, I’m pretty sure I dodged a cannonball. This was the woman who transliterated cookbooks from Martha Washington, Amelia Simmons, Hannah Glasse and Mary Randolph, the undersung mothers of American cuisine, and who made a mission of giving African-American cooks their due in her 1998 book The Carolina Rice Kitchen.
Even more important, she was the woman who, with her husband, John L. Hess, way back in 1977, indicted the entire food system in The Taste of America. That blistering book plowed the field for the likes of Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser to reap nearly three decades on. Moreover, without the Hesses, today’s urbanites might not be showered with just-picked corn and basil, leaf lard and grassfed beef—because there might very well have been no Greenmarket.
But Karen Hess, who died in 2007 at the age of 88, did not suffer wannabe food scholars gladly, let alone neighborly fools. Descriptions by people who knew her range from the mild “opinionated” to the more bruised-sounding “merciless.” Even her admirers at our market volunteer that she was rough and gruff in her insistence on seriousness with all things food-related. As the oldest of her three children, Peter Hess, says: “She cut an imposing figure. She found her voice and wasn’t afraid to use it.” And she used it to promote real food and honest cooking donkey’s years before the word “locavore” was ever inflicted on the world.
The couple railed about what I call processed crap, about food writers endorsing the same, about travel writers on the take, about the way nutrition nuttiness skewed people’s taste away from fresh food. And they spared no acid in attacking any big name they determined might be contributing to the decline and collapse of kitchen civilization. Craig Claiborne was guilty of “feckless condescension,” Julia Child “calls herself the French Chef though she is neither French nor a chef.” They make Anthony Bourdain come off like a capon by comparison.
“She and John didn’t sit back and wait for things to happen,” Benepe says. “They made things happen.” He describes John as the godfather and Karen as the guardian angel of the Greenmarkets.
Anne Mendelson, whose books include Stand Facing the Stove, a history of Joy of Cooking, notes that before Taste of America, very few food writers “thought it was important to tell good food from bad food, even those of us with a scholarly approach to food. Then Karen started taking it seriously.” Not surprisingly, she was one of the original members of the Culinary Historians of New York, in 1985.
Food historian Andrew L. Smith says Taste was the book that taught Karen Hess to do research using original sources, rather than repeat “fakelore”—instead of working from what others had written about Amelia Simmons and Hannah Glasse, she went straight to the source. The book, he adds, “changed my life—I had a job not related to food, and the heritage standpoint was the major reason I started writing about food.” He is now the editor of the Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America, which will include an entry on Karen Hess in the forthcoming edition.
She studied voice at what is now Humboldt State University in Arcata, California, (but didn’t graduate) and always dreamed of being a singer. Instead, she met and married John Hess while living in Salt Lake City; after they moved here in 1941, Hess went to work for newspapers, and in 1965 the Times sent them to Paris.
Back in Manhattan, the Hesses bought the classic six at 101st Street and Riverside Drive where they would write their books and live out the next decades, eating once a week in their last years at Gennaro’s on Amsterdam Avenue near 93rd Street.
According to Nach Waxman, owner of Kitchen Arts & Letters, the cookbook mecca on the Upper East Side: “What her legacy really is is that combination of vigorous, almost rigorous adherence to the original text and original cultural circumstances. She was making sure people saw it as it was intended to appear, as it was meant to be read, then presented it in a way that was almost unobtrusive.
Anne Mendelson also says Hess “was incredibly generous to novices like me trying to learn this discipline she pioneered.” But she adds: “She could spend endless time in research libraries; she didn’t understand food writers who had to toil in the New York Times vineyards. She greeted their every error with outrage. She behaved like someone put on this planet to besmirch the unworthy— j’accuse! j’accuse! No one was ever forgiven. If a writer screwed up, she would still be denouncing her 20 years later.
But this summer, weather willing, New Yorkers can revel in Cherokee purple heirloom tomatoes and Tristar strawberries with juice to spare. | 2019-04-26T09:00:09 | https://www.ediblemanhattan.com/foodshed-2/people-foodshed-2/local-heroes/karen-hess/ |

I currently use Chemask CM8 Peelable Masking which currently takes 30 - 60 minutes to cure. Does anyone know of another solder masking which cures in less time at room temperature. I know that curing times decrease using an oven, but that is not an option right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. | 2019-04-24T12:41:12 | https://www.allpcb.com/sns/chemask-cm8-peelable-masking_20817.html |

What a strange and wonderful discovery—a shot-on-location-in-Maine Hollywood film from the 1940s—and a pretty darn good one! In that era, Hollywood very rarely shot films on location, using studio and Southern California settings for the far corners of the earth. Yet, 20th Century Fox sent stars Dana Andrews and Jean Peters, director Henry King and company Down East to shoot all of the many exterior scenes for Deep Waters, and the result looks, not surprisingly, like Maine of 70 years ago! Based on Maine writer Ruth Moore’s novel Spoonhandle, Deep Waters centers on Hod Stillwell, a lobsterman who was trained as an architect, but prefers to be on the ocean, though his fiancée, Ana Freeman, so fears for his life on dangerous seas that she breaks off their engagement as the film opens. Ana, who works for the state welfare department, finds a home in town for Donny (Dean Stockwell), a 12-year-old orphan who also loves the sea and becomes great friends with the like-minded Hod. This becomes a double problem for Ana, since she also fears for Donny when Hod finally accepts Donny’s undauntable will to become part of his crew. Stormy waters—both literal and emotional—beckon. 35mm rare archive print!

Dallas Cowboys legend Tony Dorsett is starring in a new Dallas Police Association campaign that aims to thank police officers.
The Hall-of-Fame running back is featured in a public service announcement alongside much less famous local business people (and a kid). The 30-second spot (posted below) and the website 33thanks.com directs people to the Assist the Officer Foundation, which aids cops and former cops in need, and the families of officers killed in the line of duty.
"I'm a real stickler about little things make big things happen," Dorsett said Tuesday. "And just for a little thing like that to say, 'hey, thank you' -- that goes a long way."
Dallas Police Association President Ron Pinkston said he was "incredibly grateful" to have Dorsett's help.
Dorsett spoke Tuesday to The Dallas Morning News about the campaign.
DMN: What made you want to get involved in this campaign?
Dorsett: I thought it was a great idea just to say thank you. I also want to help people feel a little more comfortable when they see a police car or police officer, and to understand that these guys -- they have families as well. They're out here protecting our families, putting their lives on the line. So, just to create more awareness about what they do and for people to appreciate what they do.
DMN: Have you had a long relationship with law enforcement?
Dorsett: (Laughing) Man, I've been in and out of jail a few times. I've had a long rap sheet. No, but when I was approached about the whole scenario, I said, 'man, this is great.' People talk about heroes and I said, man, these are our real heroes ... There is a certain comfort level in knowing that when I leave town and something goes wrong and my wife calls 911, they're going to show up and help protect my family.
DMN: Have you done anything like this before?
Dorsett: I can't say I have. But this is long overdue ... I'm just hoping this takes off all over the country. We've lost a lot of good men over the years -- fathers, husbands who have been policemen.
DMN: Is there any reason why you're doing this now, specifically with all the negativity nationally toward policing and their tactics?
Dorsett: I don't know why it's now. All I know is that it is now. Obviously, this could come back with the negative things that are going on with police departments. But I've always felt that -- even myself, personally, I'm an old guy -- if a police car pulls up beside them I think, 'what have I done?' But for young people at an early age, it's about telling them, police officers are your friends. They're not your enemies. And the young kids today, if they can learn that and appreciate that ... it takes the stigma off police officers.
DMN: Do you think there is a lot of distrust, maybe more than normal, in police right now?
Dorsett: I haven't been paying attention to who is trustworthy as far as police are concerned. But we as a society need to understand what the big picture is with police officers. Every time you see a policeman, you think 'it's bad, it's bad, it's bad.' We need to get away from that thought process. They're not bad people. These are good people. They're here to run the bad folks away. There is good and bad in just about everything. But for the most part, the good outweighs the bad by a tremendous amount. So you get a couple bad apples, and the bad apples make it bad for everybody. We just need to let some of that go and appreciate these guys. | 2019-04-25T16:36:00 | https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2015/01/27/dallas-cowboy-legend-tony-dorsett-talks-about-involvement-in-new-pro-police-campaign-fundraiser |

June 7, 1847: Black River basin: One of the earliest known floods in the La Crosse Hydrologic Service Area took place in June 1847. The following quote is from a history of Clark county: "came the great flood, which wiped out many of the improvements , and caused general suffering throughout the settled portions of the Black River Valley. On the afternoon of the previous day the rain began to fall and the refreshing shower was hailed with delight. With each succeeding hour the area of the storm was increased, and from gentle drops, which were eagerly lapped up by the parched earth, it gradually assumed a violence never before witnessed. The rain fell in torrents until after midnight, and when morning dawned Black River had risen twenty-five feet and was flooding the country in all directions. As a result every mill on that stream was swept off, causing great damage, which required months to repair. But as day advanced, the sun came out, the waters receded, the river retired within its banks, and within twenty-four hours after the rains had ceased, the debris of mills, logs which had been left far in the woods, and other evidences of loss, were all that reminded one of the resent war with the elements".
June, 1880: Mississippi River: Flood crests established from June 19-22 of this year along the Mississippi River were not exceeded until 1965 at many locations along the river. At LaCrosse, WI and Lansing, IA the 1880 crests are still the second and third highest on record, respectively. Information about the causes of this flood is somewhat sketchy, but May and June in northeast Iowa and adjacent portions of southwest Wisconsin and southeast Minnesota were extremely wet. Clermont, IA had more than 9 inches of rain in June, Neillsville, WI, 7.40"; and LaCrosse, WI, 6.60".
June, 1905: Southwest WI: Crests on June 6 were the third highest on record on the Black River at Neillsville. More than 4 inches of rain fell at Neillsville in the three days leading up to the 6th, helping to cause the flooding.
June 23, 1908 - Southeast MN: At least 4.1 inches of rain in the vicinity of Rochester caused severe flooding on the South Fork Zumbro. Antecedent conditions were clearly wet in southeast Minnesota: Grand Meadow, MN recorded 9.10" in May and 9.93" in June, which was the second wettest such period in the period of record (1873-present). This station recorded 2.78" for the 24-hours ending 12Z on the 21st and 4.25" on the 23rd, producing the high runoff into streams and rivers.
February 21-23, 1922 - Turkey River basin, NE IA: Major flooding occurred in the Turkey River basin as melting snow combined with storms over two days that dropped 2-3 inches of rain (3.20" at Fayette) on still-frozen ground. Discharge on the Turkey at Garber reached 32,300 cfs, the third highest on record. 24 railroad bridges and several miles of track were washed out.
September 10-16, 1938 - Southwest Wisconsin basins, WI: Intense rainfall from thunderstorms produced massive flooding and five fatalities in Wisconsin (not necessarily in ARX HSA). Rainfall at Neillsville exceeded 6 inches over a 6-day period ending on the 12th. The Black River at Neillsville established a crest and discharge record (23.8' and 48,800 cfs) on September 10, which has withstood all subsequent assaults. Downstream on the Black River, Galesville had its 3rd highest stage/discharge ever. Flooding was also observed on the Wisconsin River, where Muscoda also recorded its highest stage and flow ever (11.48' and 80,800 cfs).
May 27-30, 1941 - Upper Iowa River basin, IA: The flood event was triggered by 7.70" of rain which fell in less than 24 hours on the night of May 29 over Decorah and 5.98" at Waukon. Storm total rainfall centered around Decorah was over 10" (10.21" at Decorah) for the period from the 27th through 30th. This caused tremendous flooding in the Upper Iowa River basin, and especially along Dry Run Creek in Decorah. This creek flooded houses and businesses in low-lying areas and washed out roads and bridges in and around Decorah. The maximum discharge at Decorah was 28,500 cfs, still the highest ever recorded within that basin. The recurrence interval estimate for this event at Decorah was in excess of a 500-year event, one of the most severe from a statistical standpoint ever to occur in the LaCrosse HSA. The flood was only slightly less impressive downstream on the Upper Iowa, where Dorchester had its highest recorded discharge at 30,400 cfs , or more than twice the flow of any other recorded event. A USGS estimate gave the flood at this location a 425 year recurrence interval.
June 4, 1942 - Cascade Creek, Rochester, MN: A localized flash flood event occurred along Cascade creek which caused one death and flooded numerous homes along the creek. The Rochester Airport recorded 3.26" of rain from the June 3-5, and 2.33" in one day. Presumably there was higher local rainfall in the Cascade Creek sub-basin. Discharge was estimated at 10,000 cfs from this 37.6 mi2 basin,.
June, 1947 - Iowa: Flooding remarkable for its extent and duration occurred across much of Iowa, as the state average rainfall was 10.33 inches, second only to June, 1993 rainfall (10.50 in.). Flooding was widespread across the entire state and in the LaCrosse HSA area as well. The most outstanding event in northeast Iowa occurred when intense thunderstorms on June 12-13 produced 4 to 5 inches of rain over parts of Bremer, Chickasaw and Fayette counties. Flooding was most severe along the Volga, Turkey rivers and Wapsipinicon rivers, where several towns (Volga, Littleport, Elkader and Elkport) were inundated. Damage to structures, roads and agricultural land was extensive. The flood crest at Garber on the Turkey River was 29,000 cfs, still the third highest on record.
March 26-27, 1950 - Cedar and Root basins, Southeast MN: Heavy rains on top of snowmelt produced flooding that affected the Root and Cedar basins in late March . The crest at Austin, MN was 17.81 feet on March 26 which still ranks as the 7th highest crest on record. Newspaper accounts described significant flooding in town and attributed it to 1.94" of rain falling on frozen ground. For the Root at Houston the 16.56' crest and 31,000 cfs discharge is still tied as the 5th highest on record, exceeded only by 1952, 1961, 1965 and 2000.
July 16-17, 1950 - Southwest Wisconsin basins, WI: The Platte River at Rockville had by far its greatest flood event July 16th, 1950 with a peak discharge of 43,500 cfs and stage of 17.26'. This is more than double any other discharge in the 66-year continuous record at this location. Details on this flood are sketchy, but widespread heavy rainfall was certainly the major factor. Official rainfall totals included: Lancaster, 7.05" in three days; Muscoda, 6.09" and Richland Center, 5.93" in two days; and Platteville 2.98" in one day. The Grant River at Burton also had its flood of record on the 16th, producing 25,000 cfs and a gage reading of 24.82 feet.
April 6-7, 1951 - Cedar River, MN: The Cedar River in Austin flooded again as both Dobbins Creek and the Cedar River (crest of 15.12 feet at Austin) went out of their banks. Ice jam flooding was described as contributing to the high flows.
July 21-22, 1951 - Southwest WI and Southeast MN: One of the worst floods to affect the Kickapoo River Valley was caused by 8.2" of rain at Viroqua, 6.4" at Genoa, 5.5" at LaFarge and 2.8 to 3.6 inches in the basin above LaFarge. Soldiers Grove was hit by a 5-foot wall of water that caused severe damage to the town and contributed to it's decline over time. At Steuben the peak flow (10,300 cfs) is still the 4th highest on record. Flooding was also severe in southeast Minnesota, where officially 4.51" fell at Rochester, 4.30" at Beaver and 3.54" at Lake City. The Zumbro River at Zumbro Falls had its highest recorded stage and discharge, at 30.8 feet and 35,900 cfs on the 22nd. Th crest on the South Fork Zumbro at Rochester, MN was also among the highest (4th since 1951) on record. Flood impacts were severe in the city of Rochester, with widespread residential and business district flooding.
March-April, 1952 - Southeast MN and Mississippi River: Snowmelt and ice jams caused the highest observed discharge on the Root River at Houston (37,000 cfs) and inflicted substantial damage at Houston, Rushford and much of the lower basin. The 1952 floods were caused by similar factors to the 1951 floods, with heavy snow in the Upper Mississippi basin combined with prolonged rainfall on the melting snowpack in late March and April. Flood crests generally slightly exceeded those of April. 1951. For the third consecutive year the Cedar River in Austin flooded, cresting on March 31 at 15.82 feet, although damage was relatively light.
May 31, 1958: Clayton County, IA: A locally intense rainfall event beginning about noon produced incredible runoff on several small streams near Garber in southern Clayton county, IA. The streams, draining into the Turkey River, included Wayman Creek and Honey Creek. The closest rain gage report was from Strawberry Point, 14 miles southwest of Garber, where 4.38" fell from noon to 3:00 p.m. Unofficial amounts from Garber were estimated at 6 inches in three hours. Wayman Creek had a measured discharge of 15,500 cfs from a 6.98 mi2 basin, a unit discharge of 2,260 cfs per mi2. This peak flow was estimated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to be 47% of the Probable Maximum Flood. The limited areal extent of heavy rains prevented any major river flooding.
March 26-28, 1961: Southern Minnesota and Northern IA: Heavy snow cover melted quickly causing moderate to major flooding on various rivers including the South Fork Zumbro, Root, Cedar, and Kickapoo. This was the highest crest on the Cedar River at Charles City, IA (21.53') to that date and still the second highest after July, 1999.
March 29-31, 1962 - Southern Minnesota and Northern IA: Floods again resulting from spring snowmelt and ice jams affected the South Fork Zumbro, Cedar, and Root Rivers. The Cedar at Austin crested at 17.18', but with a flow (9530 cfs) higher than any flood up to that time.
August 30-31, 1962: Little Wapsipinicon River, NE IA: Very heavy rains fell over a fairly small area in northeast Iowa, mainly in Howard and Winneshiek counties. The basin most affected was the Little Wapsipinicon River in Howard county. Storm total rainfall at Cresco was 7.68", with 6.20" in one day. Other nearby cooperative reports included Decorah, 4.52"; Waucoma, 4.42" and New Hampton, 3.25". A small portion of The Little Wapsipinicon River near Acme, IA (area 7.76 mi2) had a peak discharge of 2,380 cfs or 307 cfs per square mile. Further downstream on the Little Wapsipinicon, a 37.3 mi2 basin had a discharge of 5,740 cfs or 154 cfs per square mile.
March-April, 1965 - entire HSA: Record snowmelt floods affected much of the upper Midwest in March and again in April. The Mississippi River established crest records many of which still stand today. This includes LaCrosse, WI (17.9 ft. on April 21) and McGregor, IA (25.4 ft. on April 24). Nearly all the tributaries to the Mississippi, including the Cedar, Root, Black and South Fork Zumbro experienced flooding as well. At Rochester the crests on the South Fork Zumbro exceeded those of 1962 (19.12 feet vs. 18.5 feet). The conditions to bring about the floods were a long (March temperatures 6 to 10 degrees below normal) and snowy winter followed by a wet April with nearly normal temperatures. Many tributaries within the ARX HSA also experienced flood flows, many of which occurred in early March as warm air temporarily melted most of the snow cover in ARX area. This initial crest on March 1-2, produced the highest gage reading ever on the Root River at Houston (18.32') and the 3rd highest (18.87') on the Cedar at Austin. Major flooding was recorded in Rochester on the South Fork Zumbro and along Bear Creek. The snow cover across the was reestablished during March, reaching from 1 to 4 inches of snow water equivalent across the HSA and from 5 to 8 inches in the Upper Mississippi basin. The melting of this snowpack in early to mid-April was combined with two rainy periods, April 2-7 (0.5 to 1.0" across the region) and April 8-12 (0.5 to 3.0") to create a secondary flood maxima on many tributaries in early to mid-April. This maximum was generally higher than the early March peak in the southern parts of the HSA, and produced the 4th highest reading ever on the Cedar at Charles City, IA. Additional rainfall of 1 to 2 inches fell the week of April 23-28 adding to the crest occurring along the mainstem Mississippi during the period from April 20-25 in the LaCrosse reach of the river.
April, 1969 - entire HSA: The second or third greatest snowmelt flood of the past century affected much of the HSA beginning in early April. The meteorological setup for this event began with very wet October, dry November and then a wetter-than normal winter (December-February). March precipitation was well below normal, however temperatures were also roughly 3 to 6 degrees below normal (very similar to March 2001). This prevented substantial snowmelt during March, especially over the northern parts of the upper Midwest. Snow water equivalent in the snowpack at the end of March was substantially less than in 1965, especially in the Mississippi headwaters, generally 2 to 4 inches. April precipitation was well below (50%) to near normal across the HSA, but up to 150% of normal in the Mississippi headwaters. In addition the first two weeks of April were mostly dry from about LaCrosse northward, helping reduce the runoff. Crests in 1969 were generally 1 to 4 feet lower than in 1965. The Mississippi crested in the LaCrosse HSA within a day or two of the same dates as the 2001 flood (April 16 at Wabahsa and April 20 at LaCrosse). Crests were a little higher in 1969 than 2001 in the north (20.18 vs 20.13 feet at Lake City, MN) and one to two feet below 2001 further south. Tributary snowmelt flooding, mostly during the first week in April was also widespread, but not severe. The seriousness of the flood potential was demonstrated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers building of a number of emergency levees in the Root River basin.
May 27-28, 1970 - Wabasha County, MN: This event which also affected Goodhue county (MPX HSA) began in the late afternoon of May 27, ending in the early morning hours of the 28th. The rainfall was centered in Goodhue county, with 8.5 inches reported 3 miles southeast of White Rock. Cooperative stations at Wabasha and Lake City in Wabahsa county had 6.15 and 5.60", respectively, on the 28th. Flooding was worst in the Trout Brook/Zumbro River basin. Several cars were washed from roads drowning three persons. The Zumbro River at Zumbro Falls rose 11 feet in one hour and crested 3.4 feet above flood stage.
July 12, 1972 - Turkey River basin, IA: Intense localized thunderstorms on both the 9th and 12th (1 to 4" of rainfall on each night) in the upper Turkey watershed produced flooding in Spillville, Waucoma, and Saude and significant road and bridge damage.
June 20-21, 1974 - Southeast MN: This was a widespread major flash flood event, affecting the five counties of Wabasha, Winona, Olmsted, Fillmore and Houston. Rainfall was centered near Eyota just east of Rochester and began around 3 PM, ending around 1 AM.. Eyota measured 6.25 inches, with over 1,150 mi2 covered by the 4-inch isohyet. Other cooperative reports included Lanesboro, 5.28"; and Preston, 3.22". The Whitewater River at Beaver, MN (basin area 271 mi2) had a measured discharge of 31,200 cfs on June 21 from this event, the highest on record from 1939-1999. Both the North and South Forks of the Whitewater River near Elba and Altura, MN had their highest discharge on the 21st at 16,500 cfs and 5,620 cfs, respectively.
July 24, 1974 - Millville, MN, Wabasha county: Heavy rains began about 6:30 PM and ended around 8:00 p.m. The highest total was 7.20 inches 2 miles south of Millville, with a 4 inch isohyet covering around 25 square miles.
July 4-5, 1975 - Whitewater River, Olmsted, Wabasha and Winona counties: 6.4 inches of rain fell at Whitewater State Park and an area of 4-inch plus rains covered about 50 square miles. The limited area extent of the rainfall still produced the 5th highest discharge (9,860 cfs) on record on the Whitewater River near Beaver on July 5.
June 30-July 5, 1978 - Southeast MN and Southwest WI: One of the greatest flash flood/flood events to affect the LaCrosse HSA occurred from the last day of June into early July. A huge area of southeast Minnesota and southwest Wisconsin saw excessive rainfall, ranging from 3 to possibly 11 inches of rain during the period from June 30 through July 2nd. Seven to nine separate areas received 6"+ rainfall. The event was triggered by a nearly stationary boundary draped northwest to southeast across the area into which abundant moisture was available to feed the thunderstorms which continually redeveloped and moved southeast. Nearly every major river basin in this area saw record or near-record crests and damage was widespread. Five drowning deaths were reported in southeast Minnesota from the flooding. LaCrosse, WI had it's 2nd highest 24-hour rainfall ever at 4.79" (only 5.24" on July 27, 1987 was higher). The highest rainfall totals were over the Kickapoo watershed, a large portion of which received 7 to possibly 9 inches of rain. The town of Soldiers Grove was particularly hard-hit and was later relocated to higher ground as a result. Peak discharges along Kickapoo were considered to be near or above the 100-year recurrence interval. At LaFarge, Gays Mills and Steuben the peak discharges were 14,300 , 15,000 and 16,500 cfs, respectively which are still standing records for the river. At LaFarge this flow equates to a recurrence interval of 225 years, while at Steuben to 140 years. Two fatalities were reported in Wisconsin and damage was estimated at $51 million. According to the USGS, Nedorlo Creek, a 9.46 mi2 basin near Gays Mills, WI had a peak flow on June 30 of 8,500 cfs, which is 23% of the Probable Maximum Flood. This equates to a discharge of 899 cfs per square mile.
Flash flooding was widespread over southeast Minnesota as well. Rainfall was heaviest over Wabasha, Olmsted, Winona, Fillmore and Houston counties. The highest official point total was 8.68" recorded in Rushford township, Fillmore county. 2,850 square miles in Minnesota received more than 4 inches of rainfall. These rains also set the stage for the severe flooding in the Rochester area just a few days later.
July 5-6, 1978 - Austin and Rochester, MN: Just a few days after the massive flood event June 30-July, a more concentrated heavy rainfall event occurred from Dodge county east to Winona county, with the heaviest band of 6-7" just south and east of the Rochester area. An NWS gage measured 4.99" in 3 hours, beginning around 5:53 p.m on the 5th. Precipitation ended around 1:50 a.m. on the 6th, with over 6 inches total and a 7.3" storm total in eastern Olmsted county. The area of 4-inch rainfall covered an area of 700 square miles. The South Fork Zumbro River and it's tributaries (Bear Creek, Silver Creek, Cascade Creek) went into flood through Rochester causing extensive damage. The July 6 crest at the Rochester river gage established an all-time record of 23.36' and 30,500 cfs, easily exceeding the previous record crest (1965) by over 4 feet. This flood and yet another in September prompted the construction of a major flood control project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Natural Resources Conservation Service in and around Rochester. This project was completed in 1995, at a cost amounting to $92 million and protects the city against a 200-year recurrence interval flood event. In addition 2 to 3 inch rains fell over the headwaters of the Cedar River in Mower and Dodge counties, which produced significant flooding but also set the stage for a more important event 10 days later.
July 16-17, 1978 - Cedar River, Austin, MN: The second major rainfall event in 10 days to affect southeast Minnesota affected primarily Mower county and the Cedar River basin. Flash Flooding began late on the 16th and river flooding along the Cedar in Austin peaked on the 17th. The highest un official rainfall total was in Waltham Township, northwestern Mower county, at 9.50". Only 2.41" fell in Austin itself and 3.71" at Grand Meadow but the headwaters of the Cedar River were well placed beneath the heaviest rainfall. The peak stage/discharge at Austin 3S was 20.35' and 12,400 cfs, both records which stood until July 2000. There was widespread urban flooding in Austin from this event.
September 12, 1978 - Southeast MN: The second major flash flood and flood event of summer 1978 in Rochester began around 10:00 a.m. and precipitation ended around midnight. Downtown Rochester received 7.07" of rain, 5.74" of which fell in six hours. Another 7-inch rainfall center was located over northeast Mower county. The 4-inch or greater isohyet covered 1,200 mi2.
March 19, 1979 - Turkey/Volga Rivers, IA: Rapid snowmelt caused flooding mainly along the lower Turkey River from Garber to Osterdock. The peak discharge at Garber (26,000 cfs) has a recurrence interval of 13 years.
May 29-30, 1980 - Southeast MN and Southwest WI: Fillmore county, MN saw 6.65" of rain, mostly between 8:00 p.m. and midnight of the 29th, and on the afternoon of the 30th. The 4-inch isohyet covered 1,200 mi2 from Mower, through Fillmore and Winona counties. Little, if any, significant river flooding occurred as a result of these storms. September 20, 1980 - Fillmore and Winona counties, MN: A small, but intense flash flood event occurred from central Fillmore into southeast Winona counties late on the 20th. Precipitation began around 7:30 p.m. ending around 11:15 p.m. Homer township in Winona county received 7.45", and unofficial estimates of 8 to 11 inches in only 2 hours were reported. The flash flood destroyed seven bridges and two small dams and caused one death. Damage was concentrated in the small town of Pickwick, MN located near the Mississippi River and along Big Trout Creek. An analysis by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for this event estimated a discharge of 18,000 cfs for a 9.9 mi2 basin, which is 45% of the Probable Maximum Flood for a basin of this size.
July 11, 1981 - Rochester and Preston, MN: This was the third approximately 100-year rainfall (6-inches or greater) event to visit the Rochester area in 3 years. The NWS at the Rochester airport measured a record 7.47 inches of rain in a 24-hour period and an unofficial amount of 11.04 inches was measured seven miles west of the airport. Another isohyetal center was over central Fillmore county, with 7.70" falling at Preston on the Root River. 5.70" inches fell in less than 2½ hours. The South Branch Root River at Lanesboro had a peak discharge on the 12th of 9,500 cfs and a stage of 13.48 feet, the highest on record.
June 15, 1991 - Turkey River basin, IA: Record flooding occurred on the Turkey river on the 15th of June. The flood was preceded by several months of well above normal precipitation. The spring (March-May) of 1991 was the second wettest to that time. Beginning late on the 14th and continuing into the 15th, torrential rainfall fell across the region. The official rainfall maximum was only 4.30" at Postville (Allamakee county), with 3.28" at Elkader and 3.05" at Waucoma. Unofficial and DCP reports however far exceeded these totals, with the USGS DCP at Luana (Clayton county) reporting 13.96" and 9.28" five miles south of Postville . Both Monona (Clayton county) and Fayette reported unofficial amounts of 13 inches. Five inches of rain in a two-hour period was reported late on the 14th in northern Clayton county prompting Flash Flood Warnings. Damage was widespread and nearly catastrophic across Fayette and Clayton counties, exceeding $3 million in non-agricultural losses. Numerous bridges and roads washed out and many homes were damaged. The flood discharge at Garber was 49,900 cfs, 1.5 times the previous record to that time set in 1922 and 1.4 times the estimated 100-year recurrence-interval discharge and greater than a 500-year event. In terms of statistics this was one of the worst floods to affect a river in the LaCrosse HSA.
July 21, 1991 - Stockton, MN: Torrential rains fell during the evening hours over the town of Stockton in Winona county, about 4 miles southwest of Winona. The headwaters of Garvin Brook and the drainage area of Stockton Valley Creek received about 5.5" of rain between 6 and 7 pm. This is about 1.9 times the 100-year, 1-hour rainfall of 2.9 inches for that area. Damages from this flash flood included 3 homes destroyed and 112 damaged, amounting to about $1.5 milllion.
September 14-18, 1992 - Western Wisconsin: A series of thunderstorms developed over a slow-moving frontal boundary, producing widespread flash flooding in western Wisconsin. The LaCrosse WFO issued 15 Flash Flood Warnings from September 14-16, all for counties in Wisconsin. 24-hour rainfall of 2 to 4 inches ending at 12Z on the 15th fell in a band from extreme southeast Minnesota through Vernon county. The activity resumed again on the 15th and produced extreme rainfall over the north central counties, including Buffalo, Trempealeau and Jackson. The heaviest rains were centered in lower Chippewa and the Buffalo River watershed, located between the Black and Chippewa basins, neither of which had major flooding. Mondovi, located in the headwaters of the ungaged Buffalo river, received 7.88" during this period, but 6.30" in the 24 hours ending at 12Z on the 16th. Rains were also tremendous in parts of the Kickapoo basin, including LaFarge, (9.5" over a five-day period from the 14-18th). The Trempealeau River at Dodge had its 8th highest discharge on September 18th from these rains. Another basin affected by these rains was the 250 mi2 Pine River basin , mostly in Richland County. Two distinct floods crests affected Richland Center, on the 15th and 17th. Analyses of this flood performed in conjunction with the installation of a flood control and warning system indicated that the initial event discharge of about 7,200 cfs had a 25-year recurrence interval. The second event on the 17th had a discharge around 11,000 cfs, with about a 70-year recurrence interval. The town of Richland Center was severely affected by these floods, however the flood control system in place now would easily handle floods of this magnitude.
June-August, 1993 - entire HSA: Severe flooding struck most of the upper Midwest during the memorable summer of 1993, although the worst flooding occurred somewhat south of the LaCrosse HSA.
June 20-21, 1993 - Black River basin, WI: June 16-21, 1993 - Black River basin, WI: Heavy rains fell across much of the La Crosse HSA, especially over western Wisconsin during this period. Rainfall was widespread and heavy across the Black River basin during the 5-day period from June 16 to 20. Over 6.4" fell at Neillsville, 4" fell at Black River Falls, and 4.79" at Galesville. No one day saw truly excessive rains, but soils were fully saturated and runoff consequently very high. The runoff produced a record flood crest at Black River Falls on June 21 of 61.19 feet (Flood Stage: 47 feet) and a record discharge of 64,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). Further downstream on the Black River at Galesville, with hydrologic records dating back to 1931, the flood also produced record stage of 16.64 feet (Flood Stage: 12 feet) and discharge of 64,000 cfs on the 21st . The USGS estimated a recurrence interval of 75 years for this discharge at Galesville. Over 100 homes in Black River Falls were flooded due to a levee failure on the river. Fifteen roads were closed due to flooding and a partial dam failure occurred at the Hatfield Dam, which impounds Lake Arbutus. Structural damage to the dam included a hole 8 feet deep and 6 feet across, as well as to damage to the tainter gates and flashboards. The USGS estimated a discharge of 80,000 cfs at this location.
June 25-July 1, 1993 - Mississippi River and major tributaries: Heavy rainfall June 17-18, combined with flows from the Black River basin floods (see above) caused some near-record crests on the mainstem river. At McGregor, IA the 22.0-foot crest on June 29 is the 3rd highest (after 1965 and 2001) and 1993 holds 6th place at both Guttenburg and Lansing.
August 14-16, 1993 - Southern MN and Northern IA: Torrential rainfall from a mesoscale convective system fell over extreme southern Minnesota and northern Iowa in the early morning hours of the 15th, with an unofficial 10.25" reported in Adams (southern Mower county), MN. The heavy rains fell near the 500 mb ridge axis over northern Iowa as strong southwesterly flow at 850 mb produced high theta-e advection over the heavy rain area. Precipitable water was roughly 150% of normal over the area and several weak short waves traversed the region helping to destabilize the atmosphere. Flooding occurred on the Cedar River in Austin with the second highest crest to that date (19.43 feet, less than one foot below the 1978 peak). The runoff into the Cedar caused the river at Charles City, IA to reach a record 21.44 feet on the 16th, a record since eclipsed by the 1999 flood. The Upper Iowa River basin also received heavy rains, with 6.1" of rain reported at Spillville, IA. Record flooding (19.0 feet) occurred on the 17th at Spillville, exceeding the June, 1947 record and Decorah had its third highest crest to that date. Downstream on the Upper Iowa River, the USGS gage near Dorchester had it's 2nd highest stage (20.0 feet - Flood Stage:14 feet) and discharge (22,000 cfs) since records began in 1941.
April, 1997 - Mississippi River: Snowmelt from a near record snowpack the Upper Mississippi River basin affected primarily the mainstem river. Flooding was far worse to the north and west of the LaCrosse HSA, especially along the Red River of the North and Minnesota River. The runoff still produced some significant crests in the LaCrosse HSA that are among the top five of all time at several locations including Winona, MN, Lansing and McGregor, IA.
May 17-20, 1999 - Northeast IA: Record flooding on the Turkey, Volga and Wapsipinicon rivers resulted from intense rainfall beginning late on May 16. The meteorological situation featured a slow moving warm frontal boundary south of the area, with deep moist air (surface dewpoints in the low to mid-70s) being lifted across this boundary by a strong low level jet. This produced a complex of thunderstorms during the afternoon of the 16th The synoptic and mesoscale conditions changed little into the early morning hours of the 17th over the area and a second complex of storms developed which created rainfall in excess of an inch an hour over many of the same river basins. 24-hour rainfall totals ending at 7:00 a.m. on the 17th exceeded 6 to 8 inches in an area centered on southwest Fayette and southeast Bremer counties, which are headwater areas for the Volga and Little Wapsipinicon rivers and Otter Creek . Flooding was severe on the Volga, hitting the towns of Volga and Littleport especially hard. No long-term stream gages existed at these sites, but the peak discharge was later estimated by the USGS to be 30,000 cfs. The crest on the Turkey at Garber, just below the confluence with the Volga, was 53,900 cfs with the bulk of the flow from the Volga. Fortunately, the rainfall in the upper Turkey was quite a bit less than in the Volga basin, generally 1 to 4 inches. Even at that, the crest at Garber eclipsed the incredible 1991 record and again was estimated to have a recurrence interval of greater than 500 years, the second such flood in less than 10 years.

July 19-21, 1999 - Cedar and Wapsipinicon river basin, MN and IA: Record floods occurred throughout the Cedar and Wapsipinicon river basins from about July 19-25, 1999. The floods occurred as a result of two nights of thunderstorms July 18-19 and July 20-21. The first storm produced 4 to 6 inches of rainfall over parts of Chickasaw, Floyd and Worth counties, although unofficial amounts near the town of Manly (southeast Worth county) indicated that up to 13" may have fallen. This rainfall was centered in the Shell Rock, Cedar and upper Wapsipinicon basins. A nearly identical meteorological setup two nights later produced mesoscale convective system of training thunderstorms that dropped 6 to 8 inches of rain somewhat further to the southeast, centered over eastern Floyd and western Chickasaw counties, or somewhat lower in the same river basins. Charles City recorded 5.16" and 6.65", respectively on the two nights, close to or in excess of the 100-year rainfall for that location. Widespread flooding occurred across the area, with road closures, washouts and residential flooding. The Cedar at Charles City peaked on the 21st at 22.81 feet or 31,200 cfs, slightly more than a 100-year recurrence interval. This broke the 1961 record of 21.53 feet (29,200 cfs). The worst flooding on the Wapsipinicon River occurred south of the ARX HSA, although small streams within the basin flooded. July, 1999 rainfall was extraordinary at a few locations: 17.70" at New Hampton, IA (Chickasaw Co.) and 16.70" at Friendship, WI (Adams Co.) Remarkably, no flooding was reported in Wisconsin during the month. For more information, click here.
June, 2000 - Cedar and Root River basins, MN: Both the Cedar and Root rivers were the focus for flooding in early June. The first event began during the afternoon of May 31st as numerous thunderstorms dropped heavy rains over southeastern Minnesota and continued into the afternoon of June 1st. Precipitation of 2 to 5 inches fell across a multi-county area, much of it falling in the same location that received 3 to 6 inches of rain May 17-18. Flooding and flash flooding was reported in parts of Mower and Fillmore counties, with particularly bad flash flooding along Spring Creek in the town of Spring Valley, MN. The Cedar River at Austin crested at 17.4 feet early on the 1st, which was the highest crest since August, 1993. Flooding along the Root River also developed, inundating farmland and low-lying roads. The mainstem Root just north of Lanesboro undermined and destroyed the USGS gage house and later estimates indicated a record discharge (23,000 cfs) at this location with more than 60 years of data. In terms of flow this was worse than the severe snowmelt floods of 1952, 1961, 1962 or 1965. The flooding continued downstream at Houston where the 17.59' crest was the 2nd highest (after 1965's 18.32') and the discharge of 34,600 was second to the 1952 flood. At Hokah, near the mouth of the Root, the crest 52.2 feet exceeded flood stage by over 5 feet and also set a new record.
July, 2000 - Cedar and Root River basins, MN: The Cedar River basin and to a lesser extent the Root basin, received yet another heavy rain and flood event on July 9-10. Two nights of heavy rain produced 4 to 7 inches of rain primarily over western Fillmore and much of Mower county. 18 Flash Flood Warnings were issued by the NWS LaCrosse office. The wet antecedent conditions allowed for efficient runoff into area streams and rivers and helped to bring about record flooding in the Cedar basin. The Cedar at Austin, with significant contributions from its tributaries, crested at 23.4 feet, (15,300 cfs), eclipsing the 1978 records for stage and discharge. Flooding affected much of the town, covering roads and causing evacuations. Recurrence interval estimates from the USGS indicate that this flood was greater than a 200-year event at Austin. However, damage was less than in the 1978 flood owing to the extensive mitigation measures undertaken since that time. Moderate flooding also affected the Root River, although crests were substantially lower than the month before.
April 2001, entire HSA: Flooding from snowmelt and very heavy April rainfall (2nd wettest April in MN) produced the second or third highest crests along the Mississippi River through the LaCrosse HSA. The crests occurred from about the April 16-21 and in most locations only the 1965 and/or 1969 crests were higher. With seasonal snowfall well above average, the months of February and March were both colder than normal allowing for very little snowmelt entering April. Extremely heavy April precipitation (both snow and rain), especially over the upper Mississippi River basin combined with the melting snow to produce the high crests along the mainstem river. In Minnesota, statewide April precipitation was the 2nd highest on record, with many locations including Rocheseter (7.09") and Minneapolis (6.89") having their wettest April ever. The first major event precipitation occurred from April 6-7 and combined with the snowmelt moving downstream. Another major storm from April 21-23, which primarily affected areas north of the LaCrosse HSA, helped to sustain the duration of the cresting Mississippi. Despite the high levels, impacts were not nearly as severe as in 1965, primarily due to extensive levees along the river. The worst impacts occurred in Wabasha, MN, Fountain City, WI and north of Guttenburg, IA where there was some residential flooding. Nearly every tributary in the HSA also experienced some degree of flooding, although crests along these rivers were mostly in the minor to moderate category.
June 3-4, 2002, Southwest/Central WI: Very Heavy rainfall during the overnight and early morning hours resulted in flash flooding in parts of central and southwest Wisconsin. From 2 to 5 inches of rain fell in under 6 hours. Particularly hard hit was Cassville, WI where debris backup at the Bluff Street bridge over Furnace Creek resulted in a damming situation. Several blocks from Highway 133 to Bluff Street had high water, mud, and debris, with at least 20 homes experiencing damage.
May 8, 2004 - Northeast IA/Southwest WI: During the evening hours of Saturday, May 8th, several Severe Thunderstorms tracked over extreme northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin producing large hail and very heavy rainfall. The area between Lansing, IA and Desoto and Ferryville, WI was especially hard-hit with up to 5 inches of rain reported and numerous mud slides. Highways 35 and 26 on both sides of the Mississippi River were closed for a time due to mud slides and debris flows. A 64-year-old woman drowned when her vehicle was swept away from a swollen creek near the Bad Axe River in southwest Wisconsin sometime after 10 pm.
May 21-23, 2004 - Northeast IA/Southwest WI: A few weeks later, several rounds of heavy rain tracked across northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin from Friday May 21st through Sunday May 23rd. Record river flooding and widespread flash flooding was reported in the region after some areas received 8-10 inches of rainfall. Records were set on the Volga and Turkey rivers in northeast Iowa. The crest for the Turkey River at Garber, IA topped out at 33.14 ft, which was about 2.5 feet over the previous record set back in 1999.
September 14-15, 2004 - Southeast MN/Austin Area: After a relatively dry month, a potent late-summer storm system brought very heavy rainfall to parts of southeast Minnesota and northeast Iowa on Tuesday, Sept 14th, and Wednesday Sept 15th. Rain was most intense from near Mason City, IA through the Albert Lea/Austin, MN areas to around Rochester, MN. There were many locations that had over 4 inches of rain, with isolated higher amounts. The highest unofficial totals were out of the Blooming Prairie, MN area with 11.50 and 13.00 inches reported. Flash Flooding was the initial problem, but as all of that rain flowed into river basins, many of the regional creeks and rivers saw dramatic rises overnight Tuesday and into Wednesday morning. The Austin area saw very high to record crest levels on the Cedar River and creeks leading into it. Other rivers affected included the Upper Iowa, Zumbro, and Root. Hardest hit was the Austin area where flooding affected parts of the city and widespread sand-bagging efforts took place. A 20-year-old man, who was walking to work walked into high water and was swept away. A 51-year-old man also died of a heart attack while sand bagging. Turtle Creek rose to a record crest of 14.8 ft, and Dobbins Creek reached 14.5 ft (4th highest). The Cedar River at Lansing, MN reached a crest of 23.4 ft (2nd highest), while the water treatment facility in Austin recorded a peak of 25.0 ft which remains a record to this day. Despite receiving very little rainfall at all, the Charles City area saw the Cedar River rise to 20.6 ft, which is good enough for the 7th highest peak on record.
August 18-20, 2007 - Much of the HSA: Rainfall and flooding of historic proportions struck much of the region on August 18-19, 2007. Rainfall in excess of 10-12 inches fell in some areas, with the main swath of heaviest rain centered along a line from Claremont and Rochester, MN to La Crosse, Viroqua, and Muscoda, WI. Unofficial reports were received of 17 inches at Witoka, MN, and 14 inches at Utica, MN. Numerous creeks and rivers rose out of their banks, with significant flooding problems. Water from Rush Creek surged up and out of its protective levees in Rushford, MN, flooding most of the town. Water was 8 feet deep in places. Several roads and bridges were washed away, many in Winona and Houston Counties. A few homes were even lost into the river as banks eroded around the Minnesota City area. A total of 7 people lost their lives during this flooding, most of which in vehicles that were caught in rising water. Record flooding was seen at Whitewater State Park (crest of 19.24 ft), and the Root River at Houston (crest of 18.75 ft). Significant crests were noted along the Zumbro River at Zumbro Falls, the Platte River at Rockville, WI, the Grant River at Burton, WI, the South Branch Baraboo River at Hillsboro, WI, and all along the Kickapoo River. Crests along the lower end of the Kickapoo ranked in the top 3 highest, and resulted in significant property damage.
June 7-9, 2008 - Much of the HSA: Another rain and flooding event for the history books occurred less than a year later in nearly the same places as the 2007 event. Heavy rainfall and flash flooding affected much of the area June 7th and 8th, with the rain shifting south for the night of the 8th into the 9th. Flooding of record or near record magnitude affected several watersheds, including the Upper Iowa, Turkey, Kickapoo, and Baraboo basins. The Upper Iowa River reached record levels at both Decorah and Dorchester, IA, with the river washing out a bridge near Dorchester. The Cedar River at Charles City reached a record crest of 25.33 ft. Along the Turkey River, records were reached at El Dorado and Elkader (where parts of town were inundated after levees and sandbags were overtopped), with Garber reaching the 4th highest crest. New records were set all up and down the Kickapoo River, where the repeated flooding over the years forced Gays Mills, WI to begin relocating the town to higher ground.

After being on hiatus for over a month, I finally got the chance to come back and just do a quick entry – I hadn’t realized that the last entry that I wrote was on March 7, but that’s what happens when moving plans fall apart get delayed, family members have a health crisis, death in the family, and heavier workload all come tearing after your time.
I’ve been a little more active on Insta due to the fact that I’m hosting the first ever Blossom Beautiful Aesthetics Giveaway, with the theme being Beauty Twins. If you guys are interested, the giveaway is open until May 25 and the rules are available on the first BBA Giveaway Insta post. There are more posts that follow that clarify the rules a bit (though to my disappointment, some people are at risk of disqualification because they are not following the rules 😦 and I want everyone to get a fair shot at winning… ).
But that’s not what finally got me to set my foot down and come back and blog. My grandma’s age has finally caught up to her and she’s finally coming to terms that her mind is young but her body is not. My mother has trust issues when it comes to letting people who are not immediate family members take care of our own, so you can imagine what I do after I come home from work.
Speaking of which, I am taking on more workload than I did when I first started – I’m doing extra stuff to pay off my seemingly endless student loan and other bills that come with… well, simply living.
I’m not sure if I mentioned here on the site that I was in the process of moving. If I didn’t, now you all know. If I did, well… the moving process came to a grinding halt because the new place is not in move-in condition. It was bought in a state of utter disrepair (it had been abandoned for 3 years) and ever since it was bought by my folks, it has become more of a money drain than an investment – not only did the house need severe fixing, the previous owners never removed their belongings.
Think about that for a second: you buy a house that’s been abandoned and neglected and the owners abandoned it with their stuff still inside. Which you now have to clean up yourself. If you’re wondering what in the world possessed my folks to buy it in the first place, it’s a loooooooong and personal complication and that’s where I’ll leave it at.
Makeup review wise, I have one coming up. The question is, how do I post pictures of it here? I don’t have the means to keep uploading massive amounts of pictures of products I’ll be reviewing like most blogs and I don’t have the skill to run a self-hosted one.
I’ll just have to take things one day at a time. | 2019-04-19T22:19:51 | https://blossombeautifulaesthetics.com/2017/04/28/a-breather-entry/ |

School and Role Details A mainstream 2 form entry Primary School based in Chelmsford are looking for a Primary Teacher to Teach either KS1 or KS2 curriculum. The school allows teachers to offer creative elements to their lessons and teaching practices. Pupils' achievement and student behaviour are both good and improving. The schools aim is to be a place of excellence and help their learners to achieve their best - socially, personally and academically.
Daily rate of pay up to £150 PAYE, depending on your previous experience. | 2019-04-26T06:21:53 | https://www.teachingpersonnel.com/job/primary-class-teacher-jobid-16025_1555050228 |
A. Studio glossies: These are the posed and laboriously retouched - shots that may see somewhat familiar to you. This is most understandable, since they have been reprinted on the drama and music pages of every metropolitan daily paper for as long as the artist has been in the public eye.
B. Action shots: Candid photos (taken through a gauze knee compress stretched over the lens).
C. "Informal" shots: The artist relaxing at home with family, Kaywoodie and Doberman pinscher.
D. "Gag" shots: These, we are sure, are all too distressingly familiar to you. For example the Limeliters have a photo, probably hidden away among these very pages, of Alex and GIenn attempting to stuff Lou into his bass case.
On five joyful albums America's most exciting folk singers blend harmony and humor and sing about everything from the perils of credit cards to the brotherhood of man. In the heavily populated folksinging field the Limeliters' albums are fresh, fun-filled examples of what separates the men from the noise. Hear them today.
4. ADVERTISING: Ads for record companies, manufacturers of musical equipment used by the artist, and similar concerns who have been pressured and bedeviled by the artist's agent to buy space.
5. COPY: Roseate biographies - in most cases utterly fallacious, nauseatingly sentimental and abounding with all the noxious excesses of "get-rich-quick Wallingordism." Since all three members of The Limeliters are scions of affluent, cultured and philanthropic households, the the purchaser of this slightly atypical souvenir program will be mercifully spared any "rags-to-riches" syndrome that characterizes most publications of this kind.
So, now you have been warned and if you're still as brave as you were when you put out that dollar for this book, turn the page and try to enjoy yourself. | 2019-04-22T10:57:54 | http://www.limeliters.net/1963-souvenir-album---1-of-5.html |

Located across campus are hundreds of black and white dual recycling bins that accept all streams of waste. Waste can be disposed of properly in the recycling bins by following these simple recycling rules. There are several drinking water fountains located across campus too.
Recycling waste from halls of residences (Loring Hall, Batavia Mews and Dean House) follows Lewisham Council's Recycling rules with each of the buildings having recycling bins in place. At the end of the autumn and summer terms, three large recycling bins are placed in the Loring Hall quadrant where departing students can donate good quality, clean clothing and shoes, bedding, kitchen utensils, liquid soaps and detergents as well as unopened packets of food.
The contents of each bin are then sorted and donated to local charities. Volunteers who help with the sorting are invited to as many of the items home as they can carry and typically leave with bags of great quality everyday items.
Yes, but please ensure it is rinsed and empty first.
Can rinsed dirty food containers be placed it in the recycling side of the bin?
What if the paper is soiled with something like coffee, can I still recycle it?
No, only dry, unsoiled paper can be recycled.
What if my food packaging is only slightly soiled?
Then it can go in the recycling side of the bin.
Can I at least recycle the coffee cup lids?
Yes, and the cardboard heat strap too, so long as it’s not wet or soiled.
Can plastic milk containers be recycled and do they need to be rinsed?
Yes, but they don’t need to be spotless, so long as there isn’t any milk left in them.
What about hand paper towels /kitchen towels?
No, these cannot be recycled.
Plastic cups and cutlery – do they need to be rinsed and which bin?
Yes, these items can go in the recycling section of the bin and yes a quick rinse would help- but is not essential.
There is a cow bin located at the intersection of St. James Road and New Cross Road that takes both. There is also a charity shop on New Cross Road across from Deptford Town Hall.
Goldsmiths has a WEE-Store on site.
Please contact n.hogan (@gold.ac.uk) if you need your electronic waste disposed of.
Taking the bus, train, bike or walking will get you to Goldsmiths without costing you a fortune or costing the earth. Find out how the best ways to travel to campus.
At Goldsmiths, we’ve made significant provisions for cyclists on campus. We now have showering facilities, bike lockers and more than 320 secure, bike parking spaces.
All food sold and served on campus is seasonal, locally and ethically sourced and whose producers are paid a fair price for their products. There are 100's of products for sale at Goldsmiths that bear the Fairtrade logo, so rest assured your money is going to the person who most deserves it.
Volunteers are always needed to help maintain our green spaces on campus. You’ll typically be helping with the planting of seeds and bulbs, weeding and pruning. Interested? Contact n.hogan (@gold.ac.uk).
Details of all our events are posted on our Greening Goldsmiths Facebook, Twitter and Instagram Accounts.

Are You Using The Right Wood For Your Fireplace?
From time to time, we hear from homeowners who are concerned about draft issues or losing heat. They assume it’s due to a malfunction with their fireplace, but most of the time, these issues are caused by something else much easier to fix – unseasoned firewood. Using the appropriate fuel for your system is vital for burning more efficient and hotter fires. In this case, you need to invest in seasoned wood.
Unseasoned wood is not good to use in your fireplace, as it has lots of moisture that your fire has to burn through. This takes up a lot of energy, and it results in a lot of acidic water going into your chimney, which leads to build up and clogs quicker. It also leads to a smokier fire, and you won’t get as much heat, either. All around, seasoned wood is a much better option to use in your fireplace.
So, what should you look for when purchasing wood for your fireplace? Here are some surefire signs that the wood you’re picking is well-seasoned. First of all, keep an eye out for pieces that are darker in color, shorter in length, and split at the ends. These are all good signs that the wood has been drying out for a long time and has been stored appropriately.
Looking for another test? Trying hitting two pieces together, then listen carefully. If they sound hollow, then this is another indicator that they are good firewood. The pieces should also feel lighter in weight since there is less water inside of them. Overall, the wood you use shouldn’t look or smell freshly cut, as these pieces likely haven’t being dried out for the recommended six month period.
Now, if you want to know for sure that the wood you’re burning is going to burn well, then we recommend storing your own wood. Here’s the best way to get the results you’re looking for!
First of all, store the wood pile off the ground, so that the logs at the bottom of the pile aren’t left to rot. The shed you store it in should be well-protected, yet open enough that the logs can dry out effectively. A building with open sides and a strong roof is ideal! You’ll want to keep the ends as exposed as possible, so that water can effectively escape.
Finally, wood should be stored for at least six months before use. This ensures the moisture levels have enough time to escape significantly, so you’re not left struggling to build long-lasting and enjoyable fires this winter.
Having some great fuel stored up is a key part in guaranteeing a safer and cozier burning season, but you’ll need to ensure your chimney is in a good shape, too. At, Sirvent Chimney and Venting Service, we can help! Call us in to get your inspection and sweeping out of the way, so you know you’re good to go when the temperatures start to drop. | 2019-04-24T02:57:54 | https://sirventcharlotte.com/are-you-using-the-right-wood-for-your-fireplace/ |
The latest addition to Cadac’s CDC digital console line-up, the CDC seven builds on the success of the medium-format CDC six, offering its power and operational simplicity with the enhanced production capabilities of an expanded dual 23.5 inch, 16:9 hi-ghdefinition touchscreen, 36-fader control surface.
The CDC seven retains the characteristics of the CDC six, scaling up operational flexibility by doubling up on both the large-format LCD touchscreen and associated encoders, as well as the physical fader count, andexpanding the number of inputs to 96. The new console retains the CDC six’s 56 buses, with 54 of them now being configurable with the latest v4.0 software update.
The CDC seven’s dual 23.5-inch LCD touchscreens display the swipe-able user interface. Encoders immediately to the right of and below both screens further encourage the instinctive use of gesture – touch and swipe – operation in navigating and operating the console. The major advantage of the dual screens is the ability to simultaneously display and control multiple tasks – the VCAs can be displayed on one screen while the inputs to the VCAs are displayed on the other. The faders and encoders follow the GUI displayed on the individual screens, resulting in increases in the speed and flexibility of the workflow. An additional centrally mounted 6.5-inch LCD touchscreen provides access for system control.
The CDC seven’s feature set includes Cadac’s Monitor Mode with Mix Focus, as well as the ability to create custom fader layers. All 36 motorised faders on the CDC seven feature stereo metering and a full-colour user definable OLED display.
Like all CDC consoles, the CDC seven employs Cadac’s MegaComms digital audio network, designed to meet the requirements of the most challenging production and system installation applications. Cadac’s CDC audio protocol allows total through-system propagation delay from inputs on stage to outputs, including all console processing and AD/DA conversions, in 37 samples (96kHz), or just under 400μs; making it the audio industry’s lowest latency protocol. The console features 16 onboard stereo effect,s and is preconfigured with an integrated 64 x 64 Waves interface; enabling direct connection to a Waves MultiRack SoundGrid server with access to the vast Waves’ library of plug-ins (license dependent), as well as multitrack recording directly to a laptop. | 2019-04-26T08:40:37 | http://www.fast-and-wide.com/equipment-releases/mixing/9558-cadac-cdc-seven |

In the wake of mass digitisation, market consolidation and the launch of ambitious new trading platforms, experts in the out-of-home sector are calling for a boost to standards to ensure a smooth evolution away from static posters.
Speaking at the 2018 Automated Trading Debate, hosted by Mediatel, a gathering of traders and industry bosses were told without agreed standards out-of-home would be bogged down by needless complexity at a time when it was seeking to grow its share of market through investment in digital screens.
"Out-of-home has always been a complex medium to navigate, even when it was just billboards and posters," said Gavin Lee, the chief technology officer of Posterscope and the co-chair of the OOH Standards Committee - the body which is helping in the transition to a more automated future.
"With the rise of digital and an abundance of location data, the complexity is even greater. It is now critical to manage this."
Lee said settling on agreed standards for audience measurement, the meaning of an 'impact' or 'impression', and the terminology used for transacting is now vital if the sector is to reap the benefits of its recent investments, which globally now includes more than 300,000 digital screens, led by more advanced UK and US markets.
"The whole point of technology is to unblock barriers advertisers may have to buy in a different medium...for this to move forward, standardisation is critical."
The industry already has different automated or programmatic trading systems in place to deal with the influx of data and digital tech - including Posterscope's ECOS platform, and VIOOH, a new company set up by market leader JCDecaux, amongst others.
Arguing that it is good for the market to have use of an assortment of competing platforms, Lee said this will nevertheless be hindered without agreement across the sector on standards.
"We've made huge investments in physical infrastructure, but now we need to manage that technology," he said. "Agreed definitions will allow competition to flourish and different systems to connect and talk the same language."
According to Warc, spend on digital out of home advertising is expected to grow 10.1% each year between 2018 and 2021, accounting for the entirety of growth in the OOH market as spend on traditional sites begins to decline from next year. | 2019-04-22T13:06:40 | https://mediatel.co.uk/newsline/2018/12/04/we-have-the-tech-now-its-time-for-standards-says-ooh-boss/ |
It was just like any other late weekend night for Martin Guzman, the owner of Taqueria Los Coyotes, with scores of drunken 20-somethings buying burritos.
Little did he know on that October night that one of these coolsters was about to introduce a recipe that might very well change how San Francisco sees burritos.
The young man from San Diego asked for a California burrito.
Since then Guzman has adopted the California burrito, which has its roots in San Diego County, where it is a staple of Mexican food. It now makes up 20 percent of his sales, he said.
He added that young college students — the majority of those who buy it — come from all over San Francisco to get the California burrito, which he advertises through banners at the restaurant and word of mouth.
He’s not the only one: Last month Tortas Boos Voni in the Excelsior District introduced the California Burrito to its menu. They take a healthier approach, replacing the french fries with cooked potatoes.
The appearance of the California burrito in San Francisco’s Mexican restaurants isn’t surprising to the city’s many San Diego transplants. Any influx of people from a different region brings with it their traditions and food — the very phenomenon that has made Mexican food so prevalent in California.
In recent years, the number of students coming to San Francisco from Southern California, where the California burrito is widespread, has been on the rise. San Francisco State University, for example, has had a 21 percent increase in students from San Diego, from 839 in 2005 to 1,075 in 2009, according to university records.
The number of students from Los Angeles has increased by 25 percent, from 1,340 to 1,805, and students from Orange County have increased by 32 percent, from 658 to 970. Meanwhile, students from San Francisco have decreased by 15 percent, from 5,987 to 4,987.
It hasn’t stopped with burritos. While researching the California burrito, Guzman came across carne asada fries, another Southern California staple. Restaurants like Olivos in the Tenderloin have recently begin serving carne asada fries — essentially the California burrito minus the tortilla.
Guzman, who has owned his restaurant since 2004, said he’s just following the market and is considering introducing guacamole fries — a plate of fries topped with melted cheddar cheese and guacamole.
“I am a person who listens to their customers,” he said.
Rigo, fantastic. Not the burrito, but a new celebrity journalist in our hood, our city. I’ve long appreciated your writing; but you should be on screen a lot more.
We’ll take the burritos but please stop the lamentable infiltration of the word “the” in front of highway names. For the new arrivals: It is “101” or “280”, as in “Get on 280 at San Jose”. It is not, never, “Get on the 280”.
Glory be to whatever. So good!
The use of “the” in front of highway names is a sure sign of a SoCal infiltrator; also anyone who refers to “the” BART. I think I prefer rice and beans sound better on a burrito than fries, but I won’t knock it until I have tried ti.
I am wondering if Mr Guzman has seen fit to compensate that young college student.
Any other places in the Bay Area doing this? Anything in Oakland or the East Bay?
Oakland: I am sorry to say that I don’t know of any other places in the Bay Area that sell California Burritos. Sorry. But taqueria Los coyotes is right off the 16th and Mission BART and Tortas Boos Voni is pretty close to the Balboa exit. Hope that helps and thanks for reading.
John- I get off 280 at San Jose, usually. Sometimes I get off 101 at Cesar Chavez.
But I can hardly blame you if you don’t know how freeways are pronounced in SF – actually the real culprit behind this dastardly perversion of our culture is the outsourcing of radio jobs to studios in LA, where some guy is reading a script: “Look out for traffic on the 405”. It is just too much to ask him to correctly say, a few seconds later, “look out for slowness on 280 around Serramonte” — which is the only correct way to say it for at least 250 miles.
I think saying “the 405, the 101” etc is more of an honorific (like “The Rock” or “The Mission”). It’s a car culture thing.
This “California Burrito” is actually a modification of Carne Asada Fries, which actually came first, and not the other way around. More specifically, if anyone should be compensated it should be the Roberto’s Alberto’s, Jilberto’s Taco Shops, etc. from which the Carne Asada Fries originated in the mid 80’s or so and then spread to other spots throughout San Diego County. It should be noted that those other shops who began carrying these two items, in many cases were former employees of the various shops mentioned above who then went on to start their own restaurants.
What’s the difference between french fries and “cooked potatoes”??
To all skeptics: If every single taco shop in San Diego (and I mean that literally, every single one) sells california burritos, it must be good right? | 2019-04-25T20:00:29 | https://missionlocal.org/2010/06/so-cal-infiltrates-and-changes-sf-burrito-cuisine/ |
It will be fine if the forum can support latex formula ?!
Re: Latex formula support ?
Is there someone able to improve the forum please, because it is hard to add complex formula with latex ?
As a suggestion MathJax support could be added.
Somewhere in the <head> section of overall_header.html (Editable by going to the Administration Control Panel (ACP) >> Styles >> Templates >> Edit prosilver >> Select "overall_header.html").
^ Probably should've chosen the rendering equation instead .
There are MathJax phpBB mods too (for example here), however just adding the script to the header seems to be good enough for most things.
Arite, thanks for the detailed instructions!
EDIT: Seems to work. Will this do for now?
I agree! It wasn't something I was really dying for, but I really appreciate it now that it's available.

A Global annoucement saying e.g. "MathJax LaTeX formula support added" with a couple of usage examples could be helpful for new users.
Is there some anti-aliasing option ? The formula looks pixelated..

Clinton vs. Trump Popular Vote: Are There Still Uncounted Ballots?
There are millions of ballots that haven’t been counted yet from the 2016 presidential election.
The New York Times estimated on November 12 that there are 7 million uncounted ballots in the country.
The uncounted votes aren’t going to change the final outcome of the election (they’re not clustered in swing states) but, because millions are in the blue state of California, they could increase Hillary Clinton’s popular vote totals to historic dimensions. Around the country, various state races and issues – such as marijuana legalization propositions and the North Carolina governor’s race – could be affected. Clinton could come closer to Barack Obama’s overall 2012 popular vote total.
On November 10, two days after the election, The Los Angeles Times reported that California still had not counted 4 million ballots, a number expected to grow.
Donald Trump’s large lead in the Electoral College (he leads 290 to 228) reduces the chances of post-election ballot skirmishes.
That’s a difference of 630,877 votes.
(See the end of this article for more historic popular vote totals).
When all ballots are counted, says The New York Times, she’s likely to lead the popular vote by 2 million votes and more than 1.5 percentage points. Despite the popular vote edge, the Times argued that Democrats need to find a way to appeal to Midwestern white working class voters who split for Trump, giving him an Electoral College victory that was not deep (the margins were small in multiple key states) but was wide.
The Huffington Post argues that high popular vote tallies reduce a Donald Trump mandate and fuel efforts to get rid of the Electoral College, which was designed so that a few populous areas don’t determine every election but, rather, that candidates must compete for the hearts of minds of Americans in every state. Millions of people have signed a petition calling on electors to switch to Hillary Clinton when the Electoral College votes in December, even if their states bind them to Trump. This is called the “Faithless Elector” scenario, although it’s highly unlikely.
AL.com says four other candidates in American history have won the popular vote but not the presidency: Gore; Andrew Jackson in 1824; Samuel Tilden in 1876; and Grover Cleveland in 1888.
See the most recent unprocessed ballot report from the California Secretary of State.
Absentee ballots just have to be postmarked by election day in California; they don’t have to be received by that day to still be counted. Provisional ballots also needed counting. Since Hillary Clinton had a 29% lead over Donald Trump in California, the uncounted ballots would likely add to her popular vote total, said The Los Angeles Times. Vote tallies for California show Clinton with 5,931,283 votes in California compared to 3,184,721 for Donald Trump.
Uncounted ballots won’t change the presidency, but they could affect some statewide ballot measures and local races. As of November 10, Arizona still had over 600,000 uncounted ballots (which may be one reason the Associated Press waited until that day to call the state for Trump.) That could affect the ballot measure to legalize marijuana, which was losing by 4 percentage points.
The Atlantic wrote a lengthy article repudiating the below chart by arguing that Clinton’s turnout was sure to grow as the remaining ballots are counted.
The Atlantic said most were cast in California, Washington, and New York, meaning the effect of uncounted ballots will likely be to boost Clinton’s lead in the popular vote, not alter the Electoral College outcome that gave Trump the presidency.
In North Carolina, the day after election day, there were 26,600 provisional ballots left to count, not enough to switch the presidential results, but enough to affect a tight governor’s race, said the Associated Press. The Republican Gov. Pat McCrory was behind Democratic Attorney General Roy Cooper by about 5,000 votes, said the AP. Cooper declared victory, but Republicans argue it’s premature and have filed a complaint demanding a recount of ballots after it was revealed that 90,000 were counted by hand.
In Utah, which Trump won easily, there remained 153,000 uncounted ballots as of the evening after the election.
Maine was still processing 4,500 absentee ballots after the election. Ballot measures on marijuana legalization and educational tax revenue remained undecided a result, said The Press Herald.
In Michigan, which Trump won by only about 13,000 votes, the Secretary of State’s office told Heavy all ballots have been counted. The results will now go through a canvassing process. The AP has not yet called Michigan for Trump because of the tight margin.

How Many Popular Votes Did Clinton & Trump Win in Each State?
Hillary Clinton leads the popular vote against Donald Trump, and there were millions of uncounted ballots after election day, with many in California.

Not really a website, though if you get Apprentice or Redshark, you can arrange for battles with other people online.
Yeah. Look in my sig. I made a site with a little info on how to get started playing Redshark. It also has a link to the downloads of the two programs you'll want, Hamachi and Redshark. All you have to do to find people to play is log onto Hamachi, and join some networks (you can find them on Pokebeach and the link NoPoke gave). Then open a chat with someone online via the Hamachi chat feature, and ask if they're up for a battle. It is really simple and fun!
Thanks, I downloaded everything. I joined the group!!!
Hamachi (unless you buy it) has limits for online play. maybe an open source alternative such as tinc http://www.tinc-vpn.org/ would provide a solution to building a large community. | 2019-04-22T14:57:41 | http://pokegym.net/community/index.php?threads/online-play.68082/ |
Michael Selig Obituary by the Boston Globe.
SELIG, Michael Alfred -- Former Director of Engineering at NORESCO located in Fairfax, VA and headquartered in Westborough, MA, died on February 22, 2011 after a long and demanding battle with metastatic cancer. He was 55 years old.
Born in Vienna the eldest child of Austrian parents, Mr. Selig's family immigrated to Irving, Texas in 1959. After achieving U.S. citizenship in eleven years, and with two additional siblings, the family moved back to Europe for several years. This relocation and exposure to different cultures enabled Mr. Selig to develop a deep and lasting appreciation and aptitude for foreign languages, customs, cuisine, and culture that always remained with him. Indeed, international travel was one of Mr. Selig's most enjoyable and rewarding activities throughout his life.
Mr. Selig earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1977, whereupon he immediately established his career path in the advancement of energy efficiency and renewable energy. His employment has always centered on efficiency improvements in existing processes and buildings, and technological developments in new and most often renewable energy concepts. Always a conservationist at home as well, Mr. Selig powered his Boston apartment on photovoltaic electricity for almost two years (prior to marrying Elizabeth Willingham in 1983), and has continued to operate a solar electric system for various applications around the familyhouse.
A strong organizer and leader who naturally motivated and enthusiastically inspired those around him, Mr. Selig regularly explored new activities, sports, and challenges both professionally and personally. From the creator of a model rocketry club during childhood to organized pilgrimages to learn what was then the new environmental sport of the day - paragliding - Mr. Selig was always pursuing new adventures in life. He led an adult recreational soccer team, played bass in a string band, later coached his children's soccer teams, and began (but never finished) a project to build a tree house 70 feet over his back yard in Arlington, VA. In Dorchester, MA, Mr. Selig built a seven foot retaining wall, a back yard, and a laundry, a home brewery, and a Finnish sauna in his 100 year old Victorian home. He was an avid skier and windsurfer, and was just beginning to learn to kite surf.
Professionally, Mr. Selig had the good fortune of being selected in 1992 to join Michael Dukakis and numerous Commonwealth of Massachusetts dignitaries and business leaders in an Environmental Trade Mission to central and eastern Europe, a trip designed to promote Massachusetts environmental businesses in new markets after the fall of the Berlin wall. The trip was paramount in developing a number of engineering projects, most notably a multi-million dollar expansion of the district heating system in Krakow, Poland. Over time, Mr. Selig built a reputation in the Boston business community for being well-versed in growing businesses overseas, and was a speaker and panel member at numerous meetings and conferences dedicated to the subject.
While Mr. Selig was a hard worker in his career, he was also adamant about striking a balance between his professional and personal lives. He was a family man who taught his children about the challenges and joys of life. Vacations took him and his family to far-away destinations where his children were exposed to foreign languages and food, not infrequently to the land of his children's partial heritage, Austria. When not traveling internationally, free time was spent motorcycling, camping, brewing beer, playing chess and bridge, gardening, and generally adding to life's experiences and challenges.
Mr. Selig is survived by his wife Elizabeth Willingham and children Michael and Alexandra of Arlington, VA, his parents Franz and Marianne of Vienna, Austria, his brother Martin of Boston, MA, and his sister Nicola Kim of Little Rock, AR.

Mike passed away at 12:58 pm on Feb. 22, 2011, at his home in Alexandria, Virginia. His wife, Bet, had called me a few days earlier when the medical people told her he didn't have much time left. Having just completed nursing school, I felt fortunate to be able to be of some small comfort and support to Mike's family -- Bet, 19-year old daughter Alexandra, 22-year old son Michael -- in their grief, and even more fortunate to have enjoyed a lifetime of friendship with this remarkable man.
You are reading this so you are probably one of our St. Stephen's Class of 1972. You surely remember Mike. He was our high achiever, a straight A student and every teacher's favorite. I barely hung on in Calculus as Dr. Hall and Mike dug into the intricacies of differential equations (Dr. Hall having written that day's chapter of our textbook the night before). Steven Schneebaum taught us Nietzsche, the categorical imperative, amor fati, and utilitarianism. Mike glided effortlessly through it all. For all his academic excellence, Mike was also an adventurer and a rebellious teenager, smoking illicit substances on weekends with the rest of us troublemakers, tearing around on our motorbikes, and speculating on the virtues of our female classmates. Rome was a stupendous backdrop for adolescence and Mike was the best of pals to explore it with.
Mike and I were the Rome Rocketry Club, predicting (with one of my first Fortran programming efforts) the altitude of our model rockets. Mike was the real scientist, having developed the mathematical model for the coefficient of aerodynamic drag and my first and only exposure to hyperbolic trigonometric functions. The rockets rarely cooperated by flying even vaguely as we'd predicted.
Mike got his Bachelor's degree at MIT where I visited him each summer, crossing the country from the University of California where I was getting mine. Visionary as always, he had wired his tiny, grundgy college-student Beacon Hill apartment to run on the 12 volts supplied by his rooftop solar panel. That was back in the mid-'70s. In his career he grew to be a master of energy engineering and its conservation and eventually the wise and beloved mentor of a new generation of engineers. Everybody loved Mike!
When, in 2009 he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, Mike explained that not long ago it would have meant only months to live but with modern medical care he might have as much as two years, as indeed he did. They came at a price, suffering through dreadful therapies, surgical and chemical, and the wasting away of his body formerly so vigorous and athletic. Mike had been a soccer player and paraglider. Despite his form rendered gaunt and wan, his spirit shone, cogent and wisecracking even on his last day. Our last few conversations are unforgettable, shorn of pretense, harsh reality. Mike had no patience for sentimentality -- "It is what it is," he said, paradoxically becoming the comforting, centered one. His wisdom went far beyond industrial energy systems to life energy. His clarity and acceptance were profound guidance to everyone around him.
I appreciate the opportunity to share these thoughts with you, my St. Stephens classmates. How fragile and priceless are cherished friendships of youth and life. How quickly they can be taken from us yet they are with us -- they are us! -- always and forever.
Yes, the year since Michael's passing has gone quickly. As we age, the years go faster and faster, roaring in our ears, until, as following Michael's last moment, there is a sudden silence. It was also so with my father's passing in 2006. That sudden moment of eerie unreality. The bizarre corpse. Disorientation, untethering.
I don't want any more of these but of course the pace of them will only increase as the people who are our world drop around us. How bleak.
traveling with Mike when he was doing pollution abatement work in Poland.
those times, they were pretty wonderful.
I happened to run across your tribute page and just wanted to say thanks.
Anyway, thanks again for making the time and effort to post.
I certainly appreciated stumbling across it. | 2019-04-24T00:06:13 | https://www.dan-keller.com/mike/ |

Serendipity (def.)- Accidental scientific discovery; specifically a discovery made while looking for something else.
Max wasn't trying to find bigfoot, or even bigfoot evidence. He was looking for an old car to buy. He never found the car, but he did find some of the best bigfoot evidence ever discovered. Talk about serendipity.
Max Roy, of Eugene, Oregon is an antique car buff. He sometimes drives the rural roads around Eugene looking for old cars that he might buy and restore. Last Sunday, February 12th, Max was cruising the Weyerhauser-London Road south of Eugene looking for a car he could use for parts. He decided to stop alongside a reservoir to take a half-hour walk. What ensued is one of the most remarkable combinations of serendipity and synchronicity that I have yet encountered.
Max and headed for the trail when he encountered a pet owner who was coming the other way. This unidentified gentleman cheerfully informed Max that, while he was walking his dog, he should keep an eye out for some bigfoot tracks a short distance up the trail. Max knew a little bit about bigfoot. He had seen the cable TV series and his interest was piqued by this unexpected invitation to inspect real evidence for himself. The unidentified dog owner pulled out his cell phone and showed Max a photo he had taken. Now Max knew what to look for. Max headed down the trail and sure enough, he happened across three plainly visible large barefoot tracks. Later, that day, Max happened to tell his insurance agent and friend about the tracks he'd seen.
The insurance agent's keen interest took Max completely by surprise. He insisted that this was a big deal. Max needed to return to the site, he insisted, with a camera and a ruler and get proper photographs. It was this unexpected conversation that initiated yet another remarkable series of events. Max went back and got the photo. Then he decided to take his insurance agent's advice and put the photo in front of someone who might know what to do with the track find. As it turned out, Max had a pretty good idea where he might find such a person.
Being a career car salesman, Max always noticed people's cars, and one car in his neighborhood stood out when it came to bigfoot. It was a black SUV that was decorated with stickers of bigfoot tracks. Surely, Max supposed, a person with bigfoot tracks all over his car would be interested in this track find. On his way home, Max detoured down the street where he'd seen the bigfoot car, but it wasn't there. Later, he drove by again and saw the car, but the bigfoot tracks weren't on the car anymore. Still, being a 'car person' Max was certain it was the same car that had once been festooned with footprints. Max knocked on the door. A woman answered and Max explained the reason for his interruption. The woman explained that the car used to belonged to her ex-husband, Toby Johnson, but now it was hers. She didn't care much about bigfoot evidence, but the polite woman assured Max that her ex, Toby, would be very interested. She gave Max Toby's number and, being a man of persistence and determination, Max continued his quest. He rang up Toby. Now, ya gotta be impressed by any individual who would go so far out of his way for a situation like this that had no obvious personal benefit. Eugene, Oregon, as it turns out, is full of people like that, and Max is one of them: community-oriented, alternative-minded folks who are very open to fringe ideas like 'bigfoot evidence'.
Max later confessed that it was actually his insurance agent (and friend) who had impressed upon him the importance of this serendipitous discovery. Anyway, Max wasn't going to let his insurance agent down, and at last, Max had a bigfoot expert on the phone. Soon after being alerted, Toby Johnson and his friend 'Tracker' were making their way south out of town toward the London Road.
Sure enough, there were three exquisite seventeen inch tracks waiting for them right beside the walking path. Although they had no previous experience with casting bigfoot tracks, Toby and Tracker set about preserving the evidence of Bigfoot's passing. Toby decided to call his buddy and casting expert Cliff Barackman for some casting advice. Meanwhile, Tracker took off on a whim to survey the surroundings and apply his tracking skills to resolve the question of exactly what this creature was doing when these tracks were made. What Tracker found next was beyond belief. While searching the surrounding area, Tracker happened across a whole bunch more tracks. There were over a hundred tracks in the mud of the exposed lake bed! They weren't the same size as the first tracks. It appeared as though a second, smaller creature had ventured across a broad expanse of fine-grained lake bed sediment. The scope of this track find just went from interesting to epic. Tracker dashed back to inform Toby. Toby got back in touch with Cliff, who was just leaving a school science fair where he was making a guest appearance. Cliff jumped in his truck, got on the freeway, and headed south out of Portland.
It was now Thursday, Feb, 16th. Cliff cleared his schedule and headed 130 miles up the Willamette Valley toward Eugene and Cottage Grove. Toby also alerted Chris Minniear in Cheshire and John Bull of Eugene, and me. Cliff notifed Autumn Williams. I e-mailed a message to Jeff Meldrum. Meanwhile, I was also pinned down at a school science fair (it's science fair season, you know). Chris left Newport, purchased 200 pounds of hydrocal-white at a landscape supply place, and headed for the scene. John, Chris, and Cliff converged on the scene and spent the entire night casting seventy prints. Autumn Williams showed up and cast another. The team pulled seventy track from the scene before they ran out of plaster. At least thirty more tracks remained in the ground, gradually deteriorating by the combined forces of time and weather.. By late Friday, Guy Edwards, Beth Heikkenen, Toby Johnson, Tracker, and myself were back at the scene with more plaster.
It did occur to us as we worked in the wind and rain that this was not an ordinary track find. Usually, a track find consists of only one, or maybe two tracks. We usually stand there debating the pros and cons of whether the one track is authentic. Then we casually mix a small batch of plaster, cast the best track, and shine on another one, if there is another one. This job, on the other hand, was enormous. We didn't get excited, or even try to grasp the enormity of the situation. There wasn't time for that. We just worked until the job was done, at which time we were soaked to the bone, and covered in mud. There was no jubilation, just exhaustion. Around midnight we crashed in a near by motel room, returning to the scene the next morning before dawn to take measurements, make photographs, and extract the now-cured casts from the sticky mud.
Family obligations beckoned and as soon as we were through, Guy and I headed back down the valley toward Portland. Beth and Toby stayed in the area and rested. Tracker joined them and the trio headed back out into the surrounding woods in search of any other evidence that might corroborate the view that sasquatches were indeed circulating in the London area. For the next two nights the team penetrated logging spur roads under the direction of John Bull, the most experienced local field man. While they did not have any eyeball sightings, the experiences they had on those night investigations left absolutely no doubt in their minds that a group of sasquatches was in the area.
One road they penetrated was so spooky that two of the five nocturnal investigators turned back before they got very far from the car. Three remaining investigators, Toby, Beth, and Tracker, pressed on. While there was a vague uneasiness being felt by the group, their considerable experience with these night outings enabled them to forge ahead. They crept along without flashlights, for two miles up a long hill. They reached a darkened clearing at the crest of the hill when the group began to feel very ill-at-ease. As they stood there peering into the night, the feeling gradually became more intense. Soon, the trio was completely overcome. Their legs simultaneously turned to jelly. They couldn't stand up. They fell to the ground and just lay there, face down on the dark, wet ground. They had been rendered helpless in the face of forces they could not even see, much less understand.
Toby asked me to emphasize that, at least for he and Beth, it was definitely not fear that they were feeling. He describes it as more like a feeling of awe and wonder. Based on previous experience, they knew what the source of the intense vibe was. There was no doubt in their mind that it was coming from a sasquatch. I think that there was a certain reassurance they derived from this knowledge and that made the situation more tolerable. Tracker, on the other had, had no prior experiences on which to draw from. He had never experienced anyhting like this before and, for him, the vibe and the sudden powerlessness and vulnerability was much more frightening.
Add to that the fact that Tracker was also the only one of the three that was wearing a sidearm. One wonders whether that sidearm was perceived by the creatures they confronted. It seems Tracker was the target of the most intensely debilitating vibe. Was the stronger feelings of terror Tracker was feeling due to his lack of previous experience or because he was armed and the creatures knew it? Now, there's a question sasquatch researchers can endlessly debate.
In any case, the situation continued to evolve beyond the control of the group. Now the group was on the ground. Their skin tingled like they were being microwaved and they couldn't move. Their emotions surged. This is what sasquatch field researchers (like Chris Noel in Vermont) refer to as 'getting zapped', and boy did they get zapped!
Their strength gradually returned, and they all felt very sleepy. It was all they could do just to stay awake. They were eventually able to get back on their feet. By now, they had had much more excitement than they bargained for. They were clearly 'outgunned' and it was time for a strategic retreat. The slightly traumatized trio headed back down the long dark road toward their car. The fact that Toby and Beth had both experienced such bewildering events at least once before enable them to maintain some perspective and recover from this harrowing experience. Tracker, being completely new to the sasquatch business, had no such previous experience. The powerlessness of the whole matter caught Tracker completely by surprise and left him feeling particularly traumatized.
As the trio descended the road, I just happened to ring Toby's cell phone. They were still high enough on the hill to get cell coverage and Toby picked up. He told me what just happened. "Yikes! Sounds like you guys just got zapped," I observed, with my usual knack for stating the obvious..
"No doubt about it. We just need some time to recover."
I hung up. I felt a bit sorry for them but I still couldn't help but smile. It may not have been a sighting, but I knew full well what it all meant. They had encountered a powerful adult or maybe a group of adult sasquatches. The eager-beaver researchers had gotten too close and they got a taste of the power these beings can bring to bear. It's the sasquatch's way of saying, "That's far enough. You will not come any closer."
The next day, Joe Beelart and I returned to the scene of the London track find to take more photos and have another look around. Beth and I headed up the road to the scene of the 'zapping'. We walked up the long logging road as she recounted the experiences of the night before. Somewhere along the way last night, Beth had lost a glove. I strongly suspected we would not only find the glove, but we would do so under slightly mysterious circumstances. We did. It was lying in the middle of the road, right in the clearing where they had been zapped. A foot-long stick had been neatly placed atop the glove, as if to keep the glove from blowing away. We found a curious configuration of sticks in the woods twenty feet away from the glove. Other than that, it looked and felt like a very ordinary patch of woods that day. We left some gifts of food and trinkets. Beth went off to be alone with her thoughts. We walked back to the car without incident and met up with Joe Beelart and John Bull.
That's the way it goes in the bigfoot field research game. One night, the woods brims with menace, mystery, maybe even terror, and the next day, it's just an ordinary patch of woods. By light of day, we saw a few stick signs and other subtle clues to possible sasquatch presence, but nothing definitve.
It is my guess that Toby, Beth, and Tracker bumped into the same group of creatures that left the tracks in the mud by the lake. They got too close and they got a taste of the formidable power that these creatures have. You might say, they were 'shown the door' and were instructed through actions, not words, that it was time to leave. They had the kind of intense experience that most field researchers wish for, but when it happens it is no fun at all. The feeling of powerlessness and vulnerability is deeply frightening and very humbling.
A day in the life of the bigfoot field researcher.
Lifting out the last cast the next morning.
Only time will tell, but I tend to agree with the observations made by Cliff Barackman on his recent blog post. Cliff observed that the London trackway is some of the most significant evidence ever found, just by virtue of the sheer volume of evidence, if nothing else. The changes in the shape of the foot and the splay of the toes from track to track is a thing to behold. Cliff also observed that the remarkable degree of cooperation and quick action that was exhibited by a diverse collection of dedicated amateur researchers was a thing to behold. It was 'citizen science' at it's finest. I think we will be talking about the events of February 16th through 20th, 2012 for a long time to come.
The exact quality and quantity of physical evidence will not be fully known for a while. The casts have to cure for two full weeks before cleaning can even be started, and there are over a hundred casts to clean. The trackway sat out in the elements for the better part of a week before it was fully discovered and ultimately cast, but the earth that the tracks were taken from was a nearly ideal substrate for the preservation of fine details. It is beyond rare to find so many tracks in bare earth, especially in the lush rainforest of western Oregon, where vegetation and plant litter usually covers every square inch of ground.
The amount of detail that the casts will yield when they are cleaned can only be supposed, but with so much material to work from, the potential for extracting detailed information from the casts seems enormous. Then there's the anecdotal experiences of the team during the subsequent night investigations. F&B researchers will roll their eyes at the events that are being described, but they fail to grasp the courage, experience, and utter reliability of the field team that made these remarkable observations. Their night experiences, in my view, support not only the view that the tracks are authentic, they also support numerous other accounts by field researchers continent-wide that suggest these beings have considerable ability to manipulate fields of energy that we are not even close to understanding. Some people want to call that 'paranormal'. I prefer to call it unknown. Whatever it is, it can be corroborated by Ron Morehead, Chris Noel, and a host of others who have personal experience with this feeling of being completely immobilized in situations where they managed to put themselves in close proximity to a sasquatch.
As Cliff Barackman said, this series of events is a shining example of cooperation and team work, but even the best team cannot do anything without good, timely information. For that, we have to recognize the remarkable effort and achievement of Toby Johnson, Max Roy, Max's insurance agent, and even the anonymous dog-walker who first alerted Max to the tracks. Somewhere in Lane County, Oregon walks the patron saint of bigfoot researchers and I doubt we will ever know who he is. It all seems like such a happy accident; a synchronicity. But, I sometimes wonder whether there are ever any real accidents. Maybe Toby was meant to find those tracks. When I first saw those tracks cutting a broad arc across the exposed lake bed, I could see no obvious reason why that creature was even out there in the first place. There was no food or shelter to be found, and the tracks indicate the creature never interacted with the lake itself. It clearly was not a traveling creature on the move. It just took a stroll out across the lake bed as a bigger creature stood guard on the bluff in the distance.
So, call me paranormal, but I'm pretty sure 'the locals', know Toby Johnson. In any case, I'm sure glad I know him. In fact, I'm definitely going to nominate Toby Johnson for 'Bigfooter of the Year'.
The only two casts that have been cleaned so far are these two that were broken in transport and are being repaired.
Fascinating and as usual thought provoking post. Thanks.
You know what I think of synchronicities Thom; so, I have to say kudos to the cooperative effort and blogging and I look forward to further reports. I have felt the tingling sensations and have a sense of the power that they can "bring" and it sounds like what was experienced is more than likely confirmation that those that continued on were in an area contiguous to something important to the Sasquatches.
Fantastic column, Thom! What a find! Makes one which they could have been there with you! Thanks so much for sharing the story.
One of my first thoughts: A sasquatch leaves over 200 obvious prints 'by mistake'. Hmmm...I don't think so.
My sentiments exactly, Dane. Thanks to all for the comments.
Infrasound, maybe even intensified by group effort, emotional roller coastering, I'm intrigued by the inclusion of an experiencer who was packing heat. It was sort of a foregone (and it would appear, mistaken) conclusion on my part that if you want to get close to a Hairy Forest Giant, you should leave the pistols at home. Sounds like Tracker was outgunned from the get go.
All around EPIC. Thanks for the great article/post, Thom.
Locating and interviewing the pet owner who "cheerfully" tipped off Max to the location of the tracks must be the first order of business for anyone seeking to legitimize these prints.
According to Barackman's site, both Cliff and Prof. Meldrum have expressed some reservation as to the prints' legitimacy due to their uniformity and lack of toe-splay.
This mystery dog walker is the closest individual, time-wise, to the source of these prints. He must be vetted, and his involvement in a possible hoax fully explored. | 2019-04-21T15:12:42 | http://www.thomsquatch.com/2012/02/the-london-tracks-where-serendipity-met.html |

ANTONIO CONTE will decide if John Terry has a future at Stamford Bridge after a face-to-face meeting with the Chelsea captain.
Conte was officially declared as Chelsea’s next permanent manager on Monday.
The current Italy boss will begin a three-year contract in west London after Euro 2016.
And one of his first jobs will be to make a decision on the future of Terry.
The long-serving defender’s contract expires at the end of the season and he is yet to be offered a new deal.
But according to The Sun, that could change after Conte holds showdown talks with the 35-year-old.
It is claimed that the new boss will have the final say on whether Terry will be offered the chance to extend his stay with the Blues into a 19th season.
Former assistant manager Ray Wilkins believes Conte will be keen to keep Terry around for his debut season at Stamford Bridge. | 2019-04-26T10:09:27 | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/505868/Chelsea-John-Terry-Antonio-Conte |
The main reason FHA loans are so popular is because of their low down payment and credit requirements.
Borrowers who have bad credit with a 500 credit score may qualify for an FHA loan with a 10% down payment.
However, with a FICO score below 580 it is highly unlikely a lender will be able to approve a borrower.
If you have a score under 580 we recommend working on improving your credit score before applying for a mortgage.
With a 580 credit score just a 3.5% down payment is required for an FHA-insured mortgage loan.
The first thing you need to do is get a copy of your credit report from all three major credit bureaus. You can get a free copy of your report at annualcreditreport.com.
This is a Government run site that allows consumers to get a free copy of their credit reports once per year.
You will also need to know what your credit scores are. You can do this by going to these websites that give you your reports and credit scores completely free.
Once you have pulled all three reports you need to go through each report to make sure there are no errors. If you find any errors you should contact the credit bureau immediately to file a dispute.
You can dispute inaccurate information on your report by contacting the credit bureau directly by phone, online, or in writing.
Your credit score is one of the most important factors when it comes to getting approved for a mortgage so it’s important to make your score is as high as possible before applying.
Here are a few tips to help you increase your credit score quickly.
Pay down credit card balances – Your credit utilization ratio is the amount of available credit you’re using, it accounts for 30% of your overall FICO score. Try to pay your balances to less than 10-15% of the cards limit.
Do not apply for new credit – Do not apply for new lines of credit, credit cards, or loans. When you apply for credit a hard credit inquiry is reported to the credit bureau which will lower your score, you’re also adding debt to your report which can negatively affect your scores.
Pay all your bills on time – It is always important to pay your bills on time, every time. But when you’re going to be applying for a mortgage soon it’s imperative you do not have any new late payments. Set up auto pay which all your bills so you ensure you stay on top of your bills.
Before you start house hunting you need to get pre-approved for a mortgage. In order to get pre-approved for a loan you need to speak to a lender.
A loan officer will check your credit and verify your income and assets with your W2’s, tax returns, bank statements and paycheck statements.
Most realtors will not even start showing your houses before you have a pre-approval letter in hand. Most sellers won’t accept offers that do not come with pre-approval letters.
The process is quick and easy, usually you can be pre-approved in a matter of minutes.
FHA loans are perfect for first-time buyers because they have less strict requirements making them easier to qualify for. An FHA mortgage has a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 96.5%, meaning you just need a 3.5% down payment.
The amount of the down payment needed to buy a house will depend on the type of mortgage you get.
First time homebuyers typically have less money in savings which is why low and no down payment home loans are so popular. FHA loans require just 3.5% of the purchase price as a down payment making them an attractive option for first-time buyers.
If you do have at least 20% for a down payment then you can avoid mortgage insurance by using a conventional mortgage.
Some first-time buyers believe they can save money by not hiring a Realtor. Don’t make this mistake, your real estate agent is paid by the buyer, the cost is already figured into the price of the home.
An experienced realtor will not only help you through the home buying process, they will negotiate on your behalf and look out for your best interest.
There are many costs invoiced in getting a mortgage besides the house. There’s homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance, closing costs and HOA fees.
Mortgage insurance, or MIP is required for FHA loans regardless of how much money you use for your down payment.
MIP on FHA loans is between 0.80% – 1% depending on the size of the loan and the amount you put down.
If you have at least 20% to put down you should look into a conventional loan. Conventional loans do not require private mortgage insurance (PMI) if you put 20% or more down.
To find out how much house you can afford use our calculator.
DTI is your debt-to-income ratio, it is the amount of your monthly income compared to your monthly debt payment obligations. This includes items such as credit card payments, car loans and all other loans.
Front-end DTI ratio is your ratio of income to debt payments before adding a mortgage loan.
For example if your gross income is $5,000 per month and your total payments comes to $1,000 per month you have a front-end ratio of 20%. The max this ratio should be is 28%.
Back-end DTI ratio is your income compared to your debt payments after factoring in the monthly mortgage payment.
For example if your pre-tax income is $5,000 and your debt payments including your mortgage loan comes to $2,000 your back-end ratio is 40%.
This should be 41% or lower, however in some cases this ratio can be as high as 50%.
There are many down payment assistance programs and grants for first-time homebuyers available. HUD has many local state programs that offer first-time home buyers down payment assistance programs to buy a home.
You can also find local programs on your city or counties website. Some of these programs may require you to take a homebuyer education class to be eligible.
Editor’s Note: First-time homebuyers tax credit is no longer available.
Good Neighbor Next Door Program – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development created The Good Neighbor Next Door Program (GNND) to help teachers, law enforcement, emergency and medical technicians become homeowners by offering 50% off the list price of HUD homes on hudhomestore.com.
One Dollar Program – The dollar home program is offered by HUD that allows local Government to purchase HUD homes listed at $25,000 or less that have been on the market for more than 180 days for one dollar. These homes can be offered to low-income families to help revitalize neighborhood.
Conventional Loan – If you have at least a 20% down payment then you should consider a conventional mortgage. FHA requires mortgage insurance regardless of how much money you put down. If you have 20% down then you would not be required to carry PMI saving you thousands of dollars per year.
Conventional 97 Loan – Fannie Mae created the conventional 97 loan to compete with the low down payment FHA loans offer. With just a 3% down payment and a 680 credit score you can qualify for the conventional 97 program.
VA Loan – If you’re a Veteran then you may qualify for a VA loan. VA loans require no down payment or mortgage insurance making them the cheapest type of mortgage available today.
USDA Loan – The US Department of Agriculture has the USDA mortgage program that helps low-income buyers in rural areas of the country save money on a mortgage. If you’re in a USDA eligible location then you may qualify with no downpayment and low mortgage rate of just 0.35%.
203k Loan – If you’re interested in buying a fixer-upper then there is a renovation FHA loan called a 203k loan. Where you can buy a home in need of repairs and get a loan for both the purchase of the property and the cost of repairs and home improvements.
Fannie and Freddie 3% Down Loan – Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the two largest buyers of mortgage loans. In order to compete with FHA loans they launched a 3% down payment program called a conventional 97 mortgage.
Wh0 is Considered to be a First-time home buyer?
In order to be considered a first time home buyer you must not have had ownership in a home in the past 3 years.
Do first time buyers need a down payment?
There are some programs that require no down payment, such as VA and USDA loans. However, these are not restricted to first time homebuyers. There is no type of loan specifically for first time buyers that does not require a down payment.
Which loan is best for first time home buyers?
There is no one size fits all home loan for first time buyers. But the most popular type of home loan used by first time buyers are FHA loans. This is because of their low down payment requirement and most relaxed guidelines to qualify.
The Federal Housing Administration will insure a mortgage if the borrower has a 500 or higher credit score and a 10% downpayment. If a borrower has at least a 580 credit score they will insure the loan with just a 3.5% down payment.
Buying a house for the first time doesn’t have to be scary, follow these 9 tips and make sure you work with a great realtor and loan officer and the process should run smoothly.
Check your credit score, hire a good realtor, compare loan offers from multiple lenders and don’t apply for new credit during the home buying process.

Like A10 and A100, A30 is, at its essence, a caching music server / streamer & DAC with internal storage and control via Aurender Conductor. The Aurender A30 also includes full MQA Decoder technology which enables you to play back full-resolution MQA audio files and streams, delivering the highest possible sound quality of the original master recording. What distinguishes A30 from the others is the pure audio performance and exhaustive feature set. Aurender has designed A30 to be the comprehensive digital focal point of your system providing useful aides not usually associated with a typical music server. Functions like CD ripping, a high-quality headphone amplifier, 10TB of internal storage, ultra-wide color LCD display and an integrated software suite of metadata editing and library management tools. All this, and much more, makes the A30 the new performance standard in all-in-one digital source components.
I’ve heard tell that subtlety is an art, but I feel that sometimes the art lies in not being subtle at all.
Subtlety can come in many forms, there is the barely-there glance between two people when the laws of attraction are piqued, or the hint of vanilla hidden deep in the tasting notes of a single-malt Scotch, or the almost unnoticed taper of a lapel on a bespoke suit.
If you have managed to wade through this review and actually reach this point, you’ll know that I’m pleased as punch at both the performance and the user friendliness of the Aurender A10 music server/DAC combination. It’s a great one-box option for those who don’t want to mess around with the do-it-yourself modular option.
No audio product, especially a digital one, is “future-proof.” But one can imagine that the Aurender A10 is what digital playback will look like in ten or fifteen years for a consumer who values superior build-quality and good sound but would like to avoid as many boxes and cables as possible.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a music server that sounds better, and maybe none as good. It stood out for its bass extension and impact, as well as its natural reproduction of midrange detail. Its looks are as classy as those of any component I’ve had in my system. I began to describe it as audio jewelry, but then realized that the phrase often means “gaudy” — and the N100H isn’t. | 2019-04-19T02:26:09 | http://34.227.103.167:8000/ |
Pushkar, Rajasthan, India: Upon waking I made my way across the chilly floor to the patio. Maybe we were positioned to see the sun rise over the mountains. I had no idea, we arrived in the dark last night so where we were was pretty much a mystery. As I pulled back the blinds and opened the slider I reached for my camera. I stepped onto the patio and took a deep breath in. Cool, clean mountain air. While glancing around looking for the sun I spotted this little friend on the next balcony over. While I was taking his photo he awoke. He moved to front side of the railing and eventually back onto the roof to start his day.
Last Monday I created a little 21 Day Challenge for myself. Even created a new blog as its home as writing was a big part of that challenge. Another key aspect: Take or make photographs daily – anything, as both a way to hone my skills and to stay engaged.
Neither the writing or the photographing has been a problem. But what I’ve noticed about the photography part is I’m sort of phoning it in. When it comes down to the 11th hour I run out back and look for birds, bugs or flowers that would make a nice subject and I snap away, rushing through the process, defeating the purpose of that particular challenge.
Then just the other day I made a commitment to return to India in February. All new locations from the south on the Bay of Bengal up to the Ganges in the Himalayas. I love India. My traveling buddy and I are also considering stopping in Singapore for a day or two on our way. Now I have a very solid reason to dive back into studying the art of photography.
As homage to my first trip and to add a little fuel to the fire of excitement for the next, I present you a few favorite memories of India.

Arts Muse Magazine had the pleasure to talk to Collie McCarthy, the producer of the Oscar-qualified film Time Traveller. We had the opportunity to ask him why it was important for him to get involved with this project, the location of where Time Traveller was filmed, the casting and what it is like collaborating with Steve Kenny.
Hello and thank you for taking the time out to talk to us here at Arts Muse Magazine. Can you please tell us a little bit about yourself?
Hi Arts Muse! I’m Collie McCarthy – I’m a producer from Dublin, Ireland and now living in London, UK. I studied Law & History before working in event management so I only started in the film industry five years ago – learning my trade with companies such as Shoebox Films and Working Title, and producing my own short films along the way – the latest of which is Time Traveller.
Tell us about Time Traveller, what is it about?
Time Traveller is about a 10-year-old boy from the Irish Travelling Community named Martin who’s obsessed with Back To The Future and is trying to build his own DeLorean replica out of an old scrap car. When his family are told they are to be evicted from the halting site where they live, Martin endeavours to finish his project, creating tension between him and his under pressure-father. It’s a drama with lots of heart and some adventure.
Why was it important for you to be involved in this project?
Myself and writer/director Steve Kenny had been looking for another project to collaborate on (after our previous short film Coil). We wanted to tell an internationally facing story that has an obvious Irish identity. To approach an intriguing subject of Irish culture from an entertaining audience driven angle. Steve pitched me Time Traveller with just the title and a logline. I loved it and it ticked all of those boxes – and that formula is now the blueprint for our projects going forward, whatever the genre.
Tell us about the location where Time Traveller was filmed.
We filmed on location in Bray, Co. Wicklow (just south of Dublin in Ireland). We built our ‘halting site’ set in an unused field that was awaiting property development and filmed the housing estate scenes in one that was located about a mile down the road.
Referring to the previous question, why was it important for Time Traveller to be filmed at that specific location?
It was a big space, a bit of a mess, and right by a motorway so was a great example of being isolated yet in an urban area – which so many halting sites are. It was empty when we arrived so all the caravans, trailers, bits of scrap etc were brought in by our art department, enabling them to create the exact environment we required from scratch.
Our lead character Martin is played by 10-year-old Tom Doran. When we were putting the project together we knew the success of the film would hinge greatly on finding the right boy for the role and it was important to us that we cast someone who was from the Traveling community. We held many open casting sessions over the course of a couple of months but when we finally met Tom, we knew he had something special. Tom had never acted before but he has this innate energy and an emotional intelligence which shines through as soon as you put the camera on him. For the role of Martin’s father, John-Paul, we cast the vastly experienced and excellent, Barry Ward. Barry is a pleasure to work with and he brought real soul to the part which can be seen in the on-screen chemistry that he and Tom share as father and son. We were also very fortunate to be able to cast Denise McCormack to play the role of Martin’s Mam and Barbara Bergin makes an appearance as the woman who Martin has a run-in with when he’s out collecting scrap. For the role of Martin’s brother Frank, we kept it in the family and cast Tom’s older brother Liam Doran. Liam is actually no stranger to being front of the camera having modelled for photographer Perry Ogden on a number of high profile fashion campaigns including Burberry, H&M and Kent & Curwen.
What was it like partnering up and working with Steve Kenny?
Working with Steve is really rewarding. We’ve made two films now and are planning many more. He’s a writer first and foremost, a student of screenwriting and every decision he makes at all stages of the film’s lifetime is story-driven. After we discuss the initial concept at length, he strikes a great balance between not sharing work too early (so you know what you’re reading is well considered), but asking for your opinion before the plot and character arcs are set in stone. As a director, he’ll carry out extensive research to ensure he knows the world he is creating inside out, and this allows him to then share his vision coherently with his HODs and actors. For me, a good director is one who can make fast, considered decisions. In the heat of the last few days of prep and on set during the shoot, a director might be asked nearly 100 questions a day; their ability to think on their feet and consistently serve the story is essential, and Steve is great at this. Any good partnership is built on confidence, and we both know that the other is doing all they can to make the project the best it can be.
Screen Ireland (then the Irish Film Board) funded the film entirely. We were the inaugural project through their ‘Focus Shorts’ scheme. They offer so much more than just money though. Now I’m out the other side, what appeared as the scheme’s strict guidelines and deadlines throughout the process, proved to be a really good education for me in bridging the gap from shorts to features, especially in terms of legal paperwork and general financier collaboration. They were on hand to offer both creative and practical help whenever required, and since completion has really got behind the film on its festival run. I hope it’s the start of a long and prosperous relationship between us.
What message do you want people to take away from the film?
Most on-screen portrayals of Travellers tend to focus on the more sensationalist aspects of Traveller culture but we were keen to tell a story that was about family and the strength it can give in the face of adversity. We wanted to show people that behind the lazier negative portrayal of Travellers, there’s a universality in their relationships and struggles. However, on top of this, ultimately, we want people to escape and smile for a while; to be entertained.
What advice would you give to aspiring filmmakers who want to break into the industry?
For aspiring producers – get to know the industry, how it works, how films are made and who/what is needed at each step of the way. You don’t have to know how to do everything, but you need to know everything that has to be done – you’re the one that has to put all the pieces together. At the start of your journey, really focus on the creative side; the nuts and bolts of production you learn on the job, but identifying great writers and directors is what will make great films.
With Steve, we’re working on his debut feature – a horror mystery set in the West of Ireland – and his first TV idea. I’m also developing a number of projects with debut writer/director Sam Johnson, a music-infused drama by Eddie Sternberg, and a US set psychological thriller to be directed by Guillem Morales. All the while looking to meet new talent, unearth new stories and build the Forty Foot Pictures slate.

Can Estimation & Analytics Improve Vendor Client Relations?
It happens time and time again. Clients look to their vendors to provide software development or configuration services and both sides are often left with big questions. Is the price fair? Can we really get the project done within our duration and resource goals? How can we negotiate for a successful outcome?
There are estimation solutions available that can help. The good ones will leverage empirically-based models, historical data, and industry analytics to uncover which proposals are feasible and which ones are risky.
In the first view below, there are two columns: the “Desired Outcome,” which is one vendor’s proposal and the second column, which is the data-driven “Recommended Estimate.” The vendor is promising to complete the work in 3 months with a $750,000 price tag. You can see that this proposal is “Risky” and that the vendor will probably finish late and will either have to ask for more money or lose money in the long run. The charts in the view provide a graphical representation.
In the second view for the same project, you see a second vendor’s proposal compared to the “Recommended Estimate.” The vendor’s bid is for 8 months with a $1,000,000 price tag and there is a “Moderately Conservative” rating. In other words, this vendor has a much better chance of achieving what they are promising.
Read more about Can Estimation & Analytics Improve Vendor Client Relations?
Managing vendors has become increasingly important in recent years. In my account management role at QSM, I see both sides of the vendor management relationship. The client wants a proven vendor that will partner with them in achieving their IT goals; and the vendor wants to win that business, employ their workers, and hopefully earn more work. Unfortunately, that state of client/vendor Zen is not often achieved, usually due to legitimate (and sometimes not) misunderstandings on both sides.
On the client side, they are concerned with selecting a vendor with whom they are confident their tasks and deliverables will be achieved on time, within budget, and of the best possible quality. After a round of RFI’s, then RFQ’s, then a final down select process, the vendor is chosen and work begins. Often, at least in my experience, the overriding decision criteria comes down to cost, which makes sense, to a degree. But in many cases, cheapest, I mean, least expensive bids often rule the day. This kind of decision-making comes with its own set of risks; the most obvious is you get what you pay for and it’s often an ill-prepared vendor. | 2019-04-20T14:16:43 | https://www.qsm.com/category/vendor-management |

Congrats, you just graduated your first Bootcamp, finished your first computer science degree, or completed your first internship. Now your ready to start sending out that resume. But wait, this is the 21st century, the century of the internet. Traditional paper resumes are becoming a thing of the past in tech. You sent your resume out, and now your waiting for the next step. But did you ever think of what the first step of the hiring manager looking at your traditional resume?
What happens on the other end?
One of the first task of a hiring manager after receiving your resume via LinkedIn or Indeed, is to research you on the internet. While traditional resumes are still in use, there’s a new kind of resume. The internet. This is where, friends, family, strangers, and employers go to find out who you are and what you are about. If your profile is public, every post, every tweet can make or break the decision for an employer to move forward with you as a candidate. Keep any information or accounts in connection to you free of controversial subjects, profanity, and risky photos. Do not disqualify yourself from a job, not reaching the phone interview round. Being a black woman in tech we walk in with many odds against us.
We may not be able to control our race or the color of our skin, but we can control how we act, present ourselves, and what others will see of us on the internet.
Furthermore, as a Black woman, it’s important to stand out, show your knowledge, your experience, all the 🔥work you have done, and to shine! In tech, it’s important that in a quick google search an employer can find 1-3 professional photos of you, your personal website, and engagement on platforms such as GitHub, StackOverflow, and Twitter. Activity on forums in line with the type of work you do is a plus. If your job is helpdesk, a photo of you with a break and fix says a lot. If you work in crypto and you tweet about the latest currency news, it says a lot. Give employers a reason to find out more about who you are. Be aware your web presence can help or hurt you.
Sierra, the Senior DevOps Engineer at CloudSync inc is looking for a Junior DevOps Engineer. She came across the resume of Anelle Jenkins on the Frauvis job board. The resume is great but doesn’t quite fit the exact skills required. However, Sierra see’s Anelle has an extensive background as a front-end engineer but looking to change fields. Sierra checks online for Anelle’s twitter, Reddit, Instagram, and GitHub. It’s posted on twitter that Anelle volunteers as community support for ThyLinux community forum. Consistently posting videos of her creating her own sandbox to practice DevOps skills and volunteering for office hours of other learners. A few rounds on interviews take place. In the end, Sierra believes Anelle will grow in her skills and offers her the Junior DevOps Engineer position, with the opportunity for promotion to Lead DevOps Engineer in 6 months to 1 year.
Joselle Fink, the CTO of GunSafe is looking to hire a Director of Engineering. Taylor’s resume is clean cut, precise, and to the point of her accomplishments over the past 20 years. Taylor was recommended by a member of the CTO club. Taylor has been recognized with building great engineering teams within various startups in the Houston area. It seemed as if she was the perfect candidate. Conducting research as normal, she found Taylor’s presence in the tech scene was very consistent with good results. Yet searching through a few tweets, it becomes apparent Taylor is anti-gun safety. This stands against the company mission and values. As Taylor was simply a recommendation and never actually applied, it was ok that Joselle chose to pass on Taylor and never bothered to reach out.
Certainly, you want to be scenario 1. Don’t disqualify yourself before you even get the chance to pitch yourself. Rather, let the internet make you shine and create a world of opportunities. Make your web presence work for you. It’s ideal to get to the point where employers will find you on Github, Linkedin, Stackoverflow, Angelist, or through word of mouth and reach out to you. Go get started on that resume right now! | 2019-04-24T00:28:37 | https://frauvis.com/the-internet-is-your-resume/ |

Google on Thursday honored one of the most decorated women athletes of all time, Fanny Blankers-Koen. Her Google Doodle, which depicts her racing along a track, appeared Thursday on what would have been her 100th birthday. The track and field star not only shattered records nearly every year of her long career, but she faced more and more adversity each step of the way.
Blankers-Koen set or tied 12 world records in her career in diverse categories spanning long jump, high jump, and various hurdling and sprinting competitions. She was the most successful athlete at the 1948 Olympics in London, securing four gold medals. The star athlete went on to win five European titles and 58 Dutch championships in her native Netherlands, and yet “The Flying Housewife,” as she was nicknamed, was plagued by vitriol from sports commentators and fans alike.
“Too old to make the grade,” Jack Crump, British athletes’ team manager, said about her in the press during the 1948 Olympics. Many Dutch papers echoed his sentiment, saying that the 30-year-old mother was too old to compete for the Netherlands and shouldn’t even show up, but should rather stay home and take care of her children.
That week at Wembley stadium, she won the 100-meter, the 80-meter hurdles, the 200-meter, and the 4x100-meter relay.
Her unparalleled achievements didn’t sway some spectators, who continued to write letters criticizing her for competing despite being a mother and demanding that she stay home. Yet, Blankers-Koen’s career spanned decades and she continued to break world records in the Fifties. Most of her 12 world records were achieved after motherhood and when she was in her thirties, breaking down sexist and ageist barriers set up against women in sports.
Blankers-Koen’s first world record was the 100-yard dash at the European Championships in Vienna. She tied the world record at 11.0 seconds, leading many to think she’d be a huge success at the 1940 Olympics planned for Helsinki. But due to World War II, the 1940 Olympics were canceled, just one week before Nazis invaded the Netherlands.
After Blankers-Koen gave birth to her first child in 1941, the media assumed she would retire. However, during the war, domestic sports matches continued in German-occupied Holland. During this time she set another six world records, the first was in 80-meter hurdles in 11.3 seconds, a record she would go on to break again in 1948.
At a competition arranged in Amsterdam on May 30, 1943, Blankers-Koen improved the high jump record by an unequalled 5 centimeters. The record height had previously been 1.66 meters until Blankers-Koen shattered it by reaching 1.71 meters.
On September 5, 1943, Blankers-Koen tied the 100-meter world record at 11.5 seconds but was not officially recognized on a technicality, because she was competing against men. She would later set this record again in 1948.
On September 19, 1943, Blankers-Koen set a record that would last for another 11 years. She won the long jump in the Dutch city of Leiden, clocking in at 6.25 meters.
Nearing the end of World War II, the Nazi occupation caused famine and food scarcity in the Netherlands, making it difficult for Blankers-Koen to eat enough food during her training. Despite this, she broke her prior record for the 100-yard dash in May 1944.
Months after her 4x100-meter win, Blankers-Koen was part of the team that broke the world record for the 4x200-meter relay. That record had previously been held by Germany, and in an act of defiance, Blankers-Koen and her teammates wore national symbols of the Netherlands while breaking the record.
In the months leading up to the London Games, the media speculated that Blankers-Koen would not be a worthy competitor in the Olympics, as she was now a mother of two children. In the weeks leading up to the Summer Games, she set the world record for the 100-meter race, clocking in at 11.5 seconds in Amsterdam on June 16, 1948.
Days later, Blankers-Koen also beat the record for 80-meter hurdles on June 20 in Amsterdam. She finished at 11 seconds.
At that year’s Olympics, Blankers-Koen’s chief opponent in the 80-meter hurdles was Maureen Gardner. While both received the same time of 11.2 seconds, examination of the photos at the finish line showed that Blankers-Koen had won.
On June 29, 1950, Blankers-Koen set a new world record for the 220-yard dash, clocking in at 24.2 seconds. She would hold this record until 1954.
Although Blankers-Koen did not retire until 1955, she reached her last official world record in 1951 at the age of 33. She won the pentathlon in Amsterdam with 4,692 points.
After setting 12 world records, a statue of Blankers-Koen by Han Rehm was erected in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. She is considered one of history’s greatest athletes — of any gender — and continued to dismantle sexist and ageist assumptions about what women are physically capable of doing after motherhood. | 2019-04-19T19:19:47 | https://www.inverse.com/article/44195-fanny-blankers-koen-12-world-records |
METRO Group, one of Europe's biggest retailers, is to decentralise its procurement operation as part of a plan to save ?750 million (£705 million) by 2012.
METRO Group Buying will be devolved and purchasing responsibilities transferred to four sales groups within the company's retail divisions Metro Cash and Carry, electronics groups Media Markt and Saturn, supermarket Real and department store brand Galeria Kaufhof.
The company hopes the new structure will enable the sales groups to target customers more effectively because buyers will now specialise in particular products related to the divisions.
A spokesman for METRO told supplymanagement.com the decision would require changes to the "workforce structure" but refused to confirm if any of the company's 2,100 buyers would lose their jobs. "METRO Group aims at reducing personnel through normal turnover as much as possible. At the moment, we cannot make any specific statements about the size of the reductions," he said.
He added that existing contracts, conditions and supply agreements with vendors would remain unchanged.
Company chairman Eckhard Cordes said in a statement: "Our focus is not just to add up cost-cutting targets. Rather, we intend to exploit the opportunities offered by greater and faster market penetration." | 2019-04-26T09:59:14 | https://www.cips.org/en/supply-management/news/2009/january/germanys-metro-group-to-devolve-purchasing/ |

On Tuesday, July 15th I headed out to the west side after work, with most of the whales slowly, slowly inbound from south of Discovery Island. I met up with a couple friends of mine, and while we watched Js, Ks, and Ls meander their way across Haro Strait, K16, K35, and K21 - a somewhat rogue group of K-Pod whales - came by heading south to join up with the group. How odd of them to be traveling on their own while everybody else was together!
The big group of whales "hit the island" south of where we were at Land Bank, but as the first few began to round the point heading north, we all agreed we should head to Lime Kiln. Good decision! They angled in towards shore as they passed Land Bank, ending up way inside Deadman's Bay at they approached us at the south end of Lime Kiln Point State Park.
As the whales approached, they were down on a slightly longer dive, and we all waited with anticipation to see where they would pop up. It ended up being RIGHT in front of me!
I was extremely lucky to have my friend Barbara with a camera behind me. I've often taken, and shared, photos of others and whales, and always hoped one day to get a great shot of me and whales. I've had a few given to me over the years, but this is the kind of shot I was dreaming of! Thank you Barbara!
Moments like these are why I go out there as much as I do, but they're always over so fast!

The multi-award winning Seth Lakeman was Mercury nominated in 2005 and is regarded as one of the leading lights of UK Folk music. Seth has just released his eighth studio album, the marvellous 'Ballads Of The Broken Few'. The result is something very special. It has a more Americana, soulful blues and roots feel than his previous albums, coupled with some more traditional material that Seth has made his trademark. It has an almost a spiritual gospel-like quality at times, with some beautiful sumptuous soaring harmonies. The album is a stunning combination of Seth's dynamic songwriting and playing, the genius of legendary producer Ethan Johns and the sublime harmony vocals of emerging young female trio, Exeter based Wildwood Kin. Seth first met the wonderful Wildwood Kin at a local charity gig and he was immediately struck by their effortless ability to create intuitive harmonies. Between them they have conjured up an epic, pure, intimate and soulful album of intense songs that are stripped back to their very essence. Seth has also added the very talented and 'Full English' fellow collaborator Ben Nicholls on double bass. Less is most definitely more here. Ethan has also produced albums for the likes of Ryan Adams, Kings of Leon, Paul McCartney, Tom Jones, Ray LaMontagne, Laura Marling, The Staves and Crosby, Stills and Nash.
They recorded the 11 tracks ‘live’ with an organic, acoustic vibe created in the great hall of a Jacobean Manor House at Mudford Manor, Somerset and the album oozes with the atmosphere and acoustics of this setting. Some of these songs have an almost trance-like and lullaby quality. On the album there is Seth’s trademark stomp, his swooping, sighing and aching fiddle & viola and strident electric tenor guitar. Multi-instrumentalist Ethan can’t resist joining in on subtle underlying electric guitar, mandolin and even hurdy-gurdy.
“Ballads of the Broken Few” has seven original tracks plus a striking cover of “Anna Lee”, the Laurelyn Dossett song from Levon Helm’s Grammy-winning ” Dirt Farmer” album. Seth has also revisited the Cecil Sharp House archive which featured in “The Full English” project, which resulted him and other leading British folk musicians claiming “Best Group” and “Best Album” at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. He has re-worked several traditional broadsides, including ” The Stranger” and “The Willow Tree and there is also his take on a 19th century moralistic song, “Pulling Hard Against the Stream”.
I'm going to make a prediction now, I think this album is a very strong contender for BBC Radio 2 Folk Album of the Year. It's already one of my favourite Seth Lakeman album's along with the amazing and timeless 'Kitty Jay'.
The album open with the first one of its many 'wow' moments the sublime and powerful reworking of the broadside 'Willow Tree'. A potential live crowd favourite with Seth's vocals and fiddle perfectly complemented by the soaring harmonies and percussion of Wildwood Kin. Simply marvellous.
Next up the sublime 'Silence Reigns' with it's chucking violin backing and floating harmony vocals. "I'll go, I'll set my spirit free. Walk this life for eternity. In Summer sun or winter snow. Each step it leads me far for home.......Let me wander through the shades of green. Let me follow with the evening wind. Let me go now......where silence reigns."
Another beautifully written song 'Meet Me In The Twilight' has Seth on acoustic guitar and Wildwood Kin supplying their trademark rich harmonies... it's just well superb.
The album's second broadside is 'Stranger' has a real gospel feel, a tale of loss, love and isolation. Seth's haunting viola sets the mournful tone perfectly.
Painting a perfect word picture 'Fading Sound' builds beautifully. "A Man sits on the porch and taps his feet, strikes his old string box in the sultry heat. Like a million times before, he kicks the red dust from the floor."
Another album highlight (among many) is the title track 'Ballad Of The Broken Few'. With it's hand-claps, percussion, stomps, finger picked viola, 'dirty guitar' and swooping harmonies. It has a very cinematic feel and you can almost see it being used as the title music in a Western movie. It's one I'm looking forward to seeing live.
The wonderful 'Anna Lee' is a Laurelyn Dossett song from Levon Helm’s Grammy-winning ” Dirt Farmer” album. It has a lovely gospel blues feel with an almost lullaby quality. Sadly there isn't a happy ending to the song.
Firmly in Americana rock and blues territory with it's electric guitar and driving rhythm is 'Innocent Child'. "A drop of eternity's might sea. A blossom of life's immortal tree....floating, flowering everymore".
In the gentle 'Whenever I'm Home' Seth returns to familiar ground. "Whenever I'm Home, I'm glad to be back again. Whenever I go, I will miss you here my friend". 'Silver Threads' is a tender and heartfelt song about growing old and the passing of time. The album ends with 'Pulling Hard Against The Stream' is a 19th century moralistic song. We are urged to remember those less fortunate than ourselves, and to "help the worn and weary brother..pulling hard against the stream". | 2019-04-19T14:55:36 | https://www.laurelcanyonuk.com/seth-lakeman-ballads-of-the-broken-few |

Lawyers and academics pointed to examples of creative works made by humans, machines and even a monkey during the conference’s panel, Intellectual Property at a Crossroads, as they discussed the impact AI would have on patent and copyright laws.
Dave Green, assistant general counsel of IP law and policy at Microsoft, said AI, in some instances, can create useful and expressive work equivalent to that produced by humans, which is why, from a policy perspective, he asked what behaviours copyright law is trying to incentivize.
“The challenge with existing copyright law, obviously now, is it’s really developed around this concept of personhood. In the United States Copyright Act and the (U.S.) Constitution, it’s very clear that there’s a requirement that a work be produced by humans. And I guess the question that I’d ask is, does it matter? And why does it matter?” he said.
From a policy perspective, Green suggested, that the fundamental question should be, “do we want to insist upon the requirement of humans and personhood?” If the answer is no, then how will that impact data stream issues typically associated with copyright, infringement, reproduction and liability?
Green noted producing a creative work involves a lot of steps, not all of which are protected by copyright. However, when they are protected, the law requires a human to be associated with that contribution to the work.
“When you’re dealing with artificial intelligence it’s not simply about a creative contributions and to the extent that copyright law is incapable of contributing protection for those expressive elements; there’s always patent law that can potentially step in,” he said, noting that a lack of novelty may be a challenge in obtaining patent protection.
“The challenge from an ownership perspective is a lot of these processes take place, and are increasingly taking place, in cloud environments. And so, there’s a huge amount of difficulty in detecting that infringement and being able to then understand, and apply, and do the analysis necessary to determine whether or not there’s been patent infringement,” he added.
AI is “exploding,” Green stressed, noting that it remains to be seen “whether and how” courts can grapple with a concept of authorship.
“There’s a number of cases out there, currently existing in copyright law that go back 15 years, that look at factual components and recognize copyright ability because of the selection, and arrangement, and the judgment that was applied in determining that particular output and have given it a minimal level of copyright ability. Certainly, from a patent protection [perspective], there [are] certain limitations. That doesn’t appear to have slowed down the patent activity,” he said, adding that in the future we will have to consider how to shape the expansion of intellectual property to protect AI’s output.
“I think from our perspective; intellectual property is doing quite well. It’s furthering the policy initiatives it set out to do. It’s certainly not slowing down, and I think the amount of activity, and the growth of activity, suggests that at least for the time being we’re in good hands with our current intellectual property statutes and provisions,” he concluded.
Catherine Lacavera, director of intellectual property, litigation and employment at Google Inc., said that while she thinks AI is at a crossroads, IP is not. She noted the more interesting challenges with AI lie on the regulatory and social impact side of the discussion.
“I think that everything that applies to software patents, equally applies to AI. So to the extent that there are things that need to be worked through on tightening up the patent system for software patents, I equally think that applies to the AI space,” she explained, adding that the need for data combined with privacy protection concerns is a challenge in innovation.
“There’s this sort of grappling struggle between enabling innovation versus all the privacy challenges and potential abuses of the technology. I think along those lines, and in a regulatory mindset, [are] where the bigger challenges are,” she said, noting that Google has released a set of AI principles to help protect against abusive technologies.
Lacavera said that according to the Google principles, AI needs to be socially beneficial.
“You don’t want to be overly restrictive in how people use open source AI technology, but on the other hand, we have committed to not allowing use in certain areas, like weapons development or surveillance, these kinds of things where you can see where really powerful AI can become concerning,” she explained.
Maya Medeiros, a partner at Norton Rose Fulbright LLP, stressed the importance of collaboration in AI development and how IP can help facilitate that.
“Collaboration in development can help maintain leadership positions for AI innovation,” she said, noting that this helps avoid people having to start from scratch as it connects silos in technology, data and knowledge.
To remain competitive globally, Medeiros explained, collaboration is key.
“How can IP rights facilitate these multiparty collaborations? To protect AI innovation, how can the law incentive collaborative behaviour?” she asked, noting that protecting the freedom to operate transformative technology can provide the answer.
“I think the importance of IP rights and the freedom to operate come together in order to provide these more defensive assets for the law to prevent others from claiming exclusive rights,” she said, suggesting a “freedom to operate licensing” to encourage collaboration.

Life events such as marriage or a new job can create stress. Other events however, such as divorce, separation, dispute, redundancy, being bullied can affect us negatively. An accumulation of negative stressors, such as loss, grief, displacement, fear or dis-empowerment can lead to physical or mental health problems. Stress can be one of those.
The beliefs we have about ourselves may be family or culturally based. These can affect how we react under pressure.
Some of us have a strong “Please Others” or “Try Hard” script driver and consequently have a great need to attend to others’ needs, or a necessity to succeed at all costs.
Stress is often likened to a “modern day disease” which can harm lives, families, friendships and relationships. It can cause alienation, personal, social and professional problems. .
Our economic climate requires working people to maximise their productivity, to achieve targets and succeed as team players. But at what cost.
anger, directed at self or colleagues.
lack of focus, lower productivity and reduced performance levels.
Frequently we find that people are at risk of stress when they feel powerless, dis-empowered, less than, got at or picked upon. | 2019-04-20T03:28:24 | http://anniehay.co.uk/stress/ |

Film School, by Richard Pepperman, is a comprehensive instructional manual for learning about filmmaking through DVDs. Seems simple, right? However, Pepperman points out that many amateurs miss content or useful tidbits while watching movies, making his guide a complimentary assistant.
In Film School, Pepperman walks through a collection of 50 movies, including Catch 22, Dr. Strangelove, and The Godfather, and covers everything in filmmaking from transitions to structure to dialogue. Broken up into three sections (Story, Place, and Character) and many subsections, Pepperman begins each with a brief definition of the focused element.
“Motion: If engagement with objects (physical life) establishes our species, and therefore a plausible character, then moving pictures must subsequently assert the physical action of character: motion.” Then, Pepperman hits upon several films that strongly incorporate motion, offering the chapter and DVD clock-time for the particular scene. By dissecting each scene and offering insightful commentary, any level filmmaker can be inspired to learn by example.
Written as a “heads-up to college-bound film students,” Pepperman grasps that not everyone is an expert right away. But through practice and with a little help, anyone can learn how to take his or her film to the next level!
Richard D. Pepperman has worked in film for more than forty years. His credits include work as an editor, post-production supervisor, and consultant on features, documentaries, industrials, and commercials.
Richard’s film collaborations have been official selections to many international festivals, including Aspen, Berlin, Cannes, the Hamptons, Karlovy Vary (Czech Republic), London, Montreal, Munich, Rotterdam, Sitges (Barcelona), Tel Aviv, and Toronto.
His collaborations have been honored with the Outstanding Documentary Award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, an Andy Award, and a Clio Award. Other honors have included serving as Screenwriting Judge for the Nicholl Fellowships, Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and a Distinguished Artist-Teacher Award from the School of Visual Arts, New York City.
Richard has designed and taught editing workshops, seminars, and lectures at Film/Video Arts, Pratt Institute, and The New School University. He currently teaches the “Art of Editing” at the School of Visual Arts in New York City where he is completing his thirty-fifth year.
Richard is the author of The Eye is Quicker. Film Editing: Making a Good Film Better and Setting Up Your Scenes: The Inner Workings of Great Films. He lives with his wife Betsy, big dog Ollie, and small parrot Holly in Monmouth County, New Jersey and Mount Holly, Vermont.
Most recently, Amanda worked for Michael Moore on his latest documentary: Capitalism: A Love Story. | 2019-04-26T10:23:22 | http://www.svnfilm.com/resources/books/25-book-review-film-school.html |
Originally published in 1990, this book centres on a certain way of surveying a variety of theories of language, and on outlining a new proposal of meaning within the framework set by the survey. One of the key features of both survey and proposal is the insistence on the need to locate theories of language within a large framework that includes questions about the nature of thought and about general ontological questions as well. The book deals in an interconnected way with both very general and specific issues. At one end of this spectrum there are discussions of the contrast between realist and nominalist ontologies, while at the other are analyses of specific lexical items of English. | 2019-04-26T11:52:42 | https://www.crcpress.com/Thought-and-Language/Moravcsik/p/book/9781138696570 |

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has barely settled in for a nice, long run in movie theaters, and we're already looking forward to Vol. 3. Spoilers ahead!
With critics and fans in love with the new sequel and the box office exploding, it's no surprise that the only movie confirmed by Marvel post-2019 is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Plus James Gunn has said not only that he'll return to write and direct it, but that he already has ideas for where the story will go.
If you've seen the movie and watched the bonus scenes during the end credits, there is a big tease for Adam Warlock, the artificially created superbeing who takes on Thanos in the comics but will likely have a different arc on the screen.
For one thing, his creator in the movie universe appears to be Ayesha, high priestess of the Sovereign, who is cooking up her "Adam" in a birthing pod during the end credits with plans to unleash him on the Guardians, with whom she has a score to settle.
Ayesha turned out to be a relatively minor villain in Guardians Vol. 2, but Debicki brought a lot of presence to the part, along with a twisted blend of royal arrogance and childish anger. We'll be glad to see her return, and if she's pulling the strings at least initially for Adam Warlock, she might have an even bigger role in Vol. 3.
But that's not coming until 2020, so we have a lot of time to speculate about the breadth of her involvement. Did you like Debicki's take on Ayesha and are you pleased to know she'll be back? Who else would you like to see in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (aside from the Guardians, of course)? | 2019-04-26T10:45:55 | https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-2-cast-member-a-lock-for-vol-3-spoilers |
