http://kompareit.com/homeandgarden/plumbing-compare-sump-pump-cost.html | Compare Sump Pump Options How Much Does a Sump Pump Installation Cost ? Most people only think about sump pumps when they fail - or as soon as they need one and do n โ t have it . But the best time to start thinking about buying a sump pump or replacing your old one is before an emergency strikes . If your basement or crawl space is at risk for flooding , make sure you have a sump pump that is in good working order . Remember , it only takes a small amount of water to cause thousands of dollars worth of damage . Wet or damp basements can also lead to mold and mildew , which pose serious health risks . Types of Sump Pumps Sump pumps are installed in the lowest part of your basement or crawl space to keep the area dry and prevent flooding . They pump water out of your basement or crawl space and send it away from the home , usually to a storm drain or dry well . Sump pumps are common in areas prone to flooding , and in homes or buildings where the water table is above the foundation . There are two main types of sump pumps : submersible and pedestal . As the name suggests , submersible pumps go underwater in your sump pump basin . Pedestal pumps are above your sump basin , not in water . Most sump pumps are hardwired to your home โ s electrical system . Some of these electricity - powered pumps have battery backups so that they work during a power outage . Other sump pumps are powered by water pressure from the home or buildings plumbing system . These work in a power outage , too . Cost of Sump Pump Installation You can install a sump pump on your own for about $ 200 . However , most people do n โ t have the experience or expertise to do the job properly . If you do n โ t know what you โ re doing , it โ s best to hire a professional . According to HomeAdvisor ( formerly ServiceMagic ) , most homeowners spend around $ 850 to $ 1,200 for sump pump installation , with a national average of about $ 1,000 . However , some spend as little as $ 350 and others spend more than $ 1,600 . Your geographic location has a lot to do with the price . Submersible pumps are more expensive than pedestal pumps and they do n โ t last as long . However , they do a better job at keeping basements free of water because they start pumping before water reaches the floor . Pedestal pumps are fairly inexpensive , but they โ re noisy and not as effective . Choosing a Sump Pump Pedestal or submersible should be one of your first decisions . Keep in mind that while pedestal versions are much cheaper , they tend to operate only 5 to 15 years . Submersible sump pumps can last up to 30 years . No matter which type you choose , make sure it is approved by the Sump and Sewage Pump Manufacturers Association ( SSPMA ) . Here are some other factors to consider : Voltage - For residential use , a standard 110 - volt sump pump should do just fine . Keep in mind that you โ ll want a cord long enough to plug directly into an outlet . Never use an extension cord with a sump pump . Horsepower - Most sump pumps range from one - quarter to 1 or more horsepower ( HP ) . The rate of pumping is directly related to the horsepower , so you do n โ t want to end up with a system less powerful than you need . However , a too - powerful system is a waste of money and energy . Capacity - Your sump pump is only as effective as its capacity , which is measured in gallons per minute ( GPM ) . Consult a professional if you โ re not sure what capacity is appropriate - this is an important decision . Backup systems - Battery powered or water pressure powered ? Every sump pump has a backup system for extra protection , and that system will turn on automatically if the main pump fails . With a water - powered system , you do n โ t have to worry about whether the battery is charged . However , water - powered system can not handle heavy water pressure . Materials - Be sure the sump pump is made of a corrosion - free material , particularly if it is submersible . Material choices include bronze , stainless steel and epoxy - coated cast iron .

http://kosherfood.about.com/od/desserts/r/kuchen1.htm | Kosher Desserts Cakes American Desserts Grandmother ' s Cinnamon - Sugar Kuchen ( Dairy ) Miri Rotkovitz Total : 75 mins Prep : 15 mins Cook : 60 mins Yield : 10 to 12 servings ( 11 ) By Giora Shimoni Updated 04 / 03 / 19 Kuchen means cake in German , and refers to a variety of cakes . This example comes from Anna Ballin , who shares her grandmother ' s recipe . When first tested , this recipe did n ' t quite work - - the original instructions called for baking in a large loaf pan for 30 minutes , which yielded an overflowing , underdone cake . The topping / swirl was problematic , too ; it called for 1 1 / 3 cups of sugar , 2 tablespoons of cinnamon , and 5 tablespoons of butter , quantities that separated the cake into layers instead of baking into it . Had something gotten lost in the translation from metric to imperial measures , or was a typo or two causing trouble ? So we ' ve tweaked the recipe slightly while trying to stay true to the original . If you want to try the original quantities for the cinnamon sugar mixture , try alternating it with 3 layers of cake batter instead of two , and , definitely , use a large tube pan Cake flour is specified in the original recipe , and it is a must . When tested with all - purpose flour , which contains more gluten than cake flour , the kuchen had an unpleasantly dense , gummy texture . If you do n ' t have cake flour , you can use 3 1 / 4 cups all - purpose flour , and 1 / 4 cup plus 1 tablespoon cornstarch instead A large tube pan with a removable bottom will allow the batter enough room to rise without overflowing . Because of the large quantity of butter in the recipe , it ' s a good idea to wrap the bottom of the pan with foil or to set the pan over a rimmed baking sheet to catch any buttery drips that may escape through the bottom . Anna ' s Kosher Kitchen Edited by Miri Rotkovitz What You ' ll Need For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping : 1 / 3 cup ( 65 g ) sugar 2 tablespoons cinnamon ( or according to taste ) 4 tablespoons ( 2 ounces / 60 grams ) unsalted butter , melted For the Cake Batter : 3 1 / 2 cups ( 1 pound / 450 grams ) cake flour ( OR 3 1 / 4 cups all - purpose flour , and 1 / 4 cup plus 1 tablespoon cornstarch ) 2 teaspoons baking powder 6 ounces ( 1 1 / 2 sticks / 170 grams ) unsalted butter , room temperature , cut into small bits 3 / 4 cup ( 6 ounces / 170 grams ) sugar 2 large eggs 1 / 2 cup ( 120 ml ) milk 8 ounces ( 250 grams ) sour cream How to Make It Preheat oven to 375 ยฐ Fahrenheit ( 190 ยฐ Celsius ) . Grease and flour a large tube pan . In a small bowl , combine cinnamon and sugar . Place the melted butter in another small bowl . Set aside . In a large bowl , whisk together the cake flour ( or all - purpose flour and cornstarch ) , and baking powder . Rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs . Add the sugar and stir to combine . Make a well in the center of the mixture . Put the eggs , milk and sour cream into the well . With a wooden spoon , slowly begin mixing the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until the mixture is combined . ( The batter will be very thick ) . Spread half the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan . Drizzle evenly with half of the melted butter . Then , sprinkle half of the cinnamon and sugar mixture on top of that .

Giora Shimoni At the time of the Mishna ( 200 CE ) , rabbis deemed it meritorious to eat fish on the Sabbath and Jews became accustomed to eating fish at festive meals . Due to the plethora of rivers in Europe , Ashkenazi Jews tended to cook with freshwater fish . Eastern European Jews would make a mixture of chopped fish , stuff it back into the skin of the fish , and boil it . The word gefilte means stuffed in Yiddish . Gefilte fish is a loaf of chopped up fish , usually white - fleshed freshwater fish such as carp or pike . The chopped fish is generally mixed with onions , carrots and parsley . Eggs and matzah meal hold the mixture together . Below are ingredients for gefilte fish . Fish Balls 4 pounds ( 2 kilogram ) whitefish ( carp or pike ) , without heads and cleaned 2 large carrots , peeled 2 large parsnips , peeled 4 cloves garlic , peeled 4 Tbsp . fresh parsley leaves , chopped 2 large onions , peeled and finely chopped 1 / 2 cup matzo meal 4 eggs 1 - 2 Tbsp . sugar 1 Tbsp . paprika 1 tsp . salt 1 / 2 tsp . white pepper 1 / 8 - 1 / 4 cup canola oil ( enough to hold mixture together ) Fish Broth 5 carrots , peeled and sliced 3 onions , peeled and sliced 4 garlic cloves , peeled and quartered 1 - 2 Tbsp . sugar 1 tsp . paprika 1 - 2 tsp . salt 1 / 2 - 1 tsp . white pepper 4 - 6 cups water Continue to 2 of 10 below . 02 of 10 Grind Ingredients How to Make Gefilte Fish . Giora Shimoni Saute 1 onion in 2 tablespoons oil , and set aside to cool . In a food processor , grind the fish and set aside in a large mixing bowl . Grind 2 carrots , 2 parsnips , 1 onion , 8 - 9 garlic cloves , and parsley . Continue to 3 of 10 below . 03 Mix Ingredients Add the fried onions and matzo meal to the ground fish . Continue to 4 of 10 below . 04 Add Ground Vegetables Add the ground vegetables to the fish batter . Continue to 5 of 10 below . 05 Mix Add the eggs , spices , and enough oil for mixture to hold together nicely . Mix well . If time allows , cover the fish batter and store in the refrigerator for an hour or two . Continue to 6 of 10 below . 06 Fish Stuffing If desired , you can use the fish stuffing to stuff fish heads or pieces of fish . Continue to 7 of 10 below . 07 Fish Balls Use the rest of the stuffing to form fish balls . Continue to 8 of 10 below . 08 Fish Stock In a large soup pot , mix together the ingredients for the fish stock . Add water and bring to a boil . Continue to 9 of 10 below . 09 Boil the Fish Gently place the stuffed fish pieces and the fish balls into the boiling fish stock . If more water is needed to cover the fish , add water to the stock and bring to a boil . Lower the flame , and cook on low for about one hour . Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly . Cook on low for about another 30 minutes . Continue to 10 of 10 below . 10 Cool the Fish Remove the fish carefully from the stock onto prepared pans . Pour some fish stock on the fish . Slice carrots from the stock , and place a piece of carrot on each piece of fish . Let the fish cool . After the fish has cooled , cover and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve . This fish also freezes well . If you freeze the fish , be sure to boil it again , then chill and refrigerate before serving . | [

http://kratomcaps.com/do-kratom-capsules-work.htm | Do Kratom Capsules Work ? Are Kratom Capsules as effective as Kratom Powder or Tea ? This is a very common question to let โ s answer Do Kratom Capsules ( kratom pills ) Work and how do they compare to Kratom Powder ? The simple answer is absolutely YES capsules work very well ! There is virtually no difference in results from loose Kratom powder vs capped kratom . A Kratom Capsule is simple just powdered Kratom stuffed into a easy to use gelatin or veggie capsule . It โ s just like you opened a bag of Kratom powder , spooned out 600mg and researched it . But the benefits of Kratom Capsules are many , nothing bitter , no mess , no work , no hassle , no measuring , and you can take your Kratom anywhere easily . If you โ ve tried Kratom Pills in the past and have n โ t seen any results you โ re either using low quality Kratom or not enough capsules . A good idea of what the average person would research , depending on the desired outcome from the Kratom , is about 4 - 8 600mg capsules . Some will like less , some will like more and this of course depends on the quality of Kratom greatly . But a high grade Kratom should be about this amount for most people . Of course nothing in life is 100 % perfect so here are a couple drawbacks to capsules , one is the cost , you are paying more for capsules than loose powder , depending about 10 - 30 % more . This is a big reason why many do not use capsules but you do pay for convenience similar to buying a cup of coffee or bottled water . If you decide to make your own capsules it takes a good amount of time to cap up large amounts of kratom . The other downside is it can take slightly Kratom has many benefits but some people do n โ t research it as much as they want or stop altogether because it โ s just too unappealing or use loose powder or leaf . Capsules are the perfect answer to this . Comparison of Kratom Capsules vs . Kratom Powder / Leaf Kratom Capsules โ No bad taste โ Nothing to prepare โ No mess โ Easy to take with you anywhere โ As effective as loose Kratom Kratom Powder / Leaves Loose โ Bitter โ Powder dust can be annoying โ Hard to mix well in most liquid โ Messy โ Not easy to prepare away from home So in summary Do Kratom Capsules work ? They work very well in most cases giving next to identical results to loose powder . They do cost more but are more convenient and possible the only way some people will choose Kratom . Are they worth it is up to you depending on your needs but they are in no way a less effective product . | [

Though little known about in the Western world , it has long been a stable in Southeast Asia especially among ethnic populations in Thailand , Malaysia and Indonesia . In these locals , Kratom Tea hold a place similar to that of coffee and it is consumed by workers to give them more energy and promote positive feelings . This traditional tea is made from the leaves of the Mitragyna Speciosa tree which contain several natural compounds capable of stimulating the brain while relaxing Topics Effects Buy Tea Recipes Dosage Guide User Experiences Best Strains Maeng Da Thai Bali Red vs . White vs . Green Strains How to Use Capsules Powder Opiate Withdrawal Plants Side Effects Using Kratom Tea When preparing the tea , the goal is to extract the active alkaloids from the leaves and absorb them into the water . You can start with either fresh leaves , dried and crushed leaves , or some type of Kratom powder . It has also been popular recently to use extract products like Kratom resin which contain a higher concentration of the active alkaloids and easily dissolve into hot water . There are some vendors who do carry pre - packaged Kratom tea bags , but they are few and far between due to FDA regulations . Under US Depending on the type and potency of the leaf or extract you are using , you will require a different dosage to brew your tea . Some individuals will brew only a small amount at a time and use between 7 - 10 grams of leaf or powder . Others may brew three or more cups at a time and may use as much as 15 or 25 grams per pot . You can also affect the concentration of the tea by using different amounts of water ; 500 mL of water boiled with 10 grams of crushed Kratom will How to Make It It will take at least 20 - 30 minutes for the tea to properly steep , so you may want to prepare it ahead of time so you are not waiting as the water is boiling . Unlike green tea or other herbals , Kratom needs to be boiled at a relatively high temperature with some intensity in order for the leaf to break down and release the all - important alkaloids . Because it does require some work to make the tea , it is common to brew a large batch at a time and store the rest for You can make the tea only using Kratom or you can mix in other tea leaves or flavoring compounds to try and improve the taste . Some users say that they like to combine iy with a strong black or chai tea to mask some of the bitterness of the Kratom leaves . Most people will find the tea unpleasant to drink unless they sweeten it with honey , sugar or a natural product like stevia . You might also want to have a โ chaser โ at hand of juice or water to wash away the aftertaste which can Effects & Benefits Like other forms of Kratom , the tea can be energizing at lower doses while it can relax and sedate you at higher doses . If used in small amounts , Kratom tea makes for an excellent replacement to caffeine . You can drink it for all - day long energy that is consistent and does not come with an afternoon crash or low . Most people describe this tea as making them feel more awake and clear - minded without causing restlessness or anxiety . If you continue to drink Kratom towards the end of the day , as One of the major differences between using the tea versus a toss and wash method is that you will receive your dosage of Kratom alkaloids spread out over a longer period of time . Most individuals will take at least 15 or 20 minutes to drink a hot cup of tea which means that the herb will take effect more gradually and not all at once .

http://kratomonline.org/long-kratom-last/ | Regardless of what type of Kratom you buy , it will degrade over time and eventually lose potency . This is an inescapable truth when dealing with organic plant matter whether you are using Kratom leaves , a bulk powder or some type of extract . Fresh Kratom will have the highest concentration of active chemicals , but these alkaloids become less effective and the leaves can grow stale as time passes . There are some who say that the alkaloid last slightly longer if you purchase full or crushed leaves as opposed to powdered or encapsulated products though this Topics Effects Buy Tea Recipes Dosage Guide User Experiences Best Strains Maeng Da Thai Bali Red vs . White vs . Green Strains How to Use Capsules Powder Opiate Withdrawal Plants Side Effects Of course , that is not always possible . It can sometimes be tempting to stock up on bulk product at wholesale prices that are much cheaper than if you were to buy your powder one ounce at a time . In these instances , it becomes important to properly store your reserve supplies to prevent them from going bad before you have the chance to use them . How long does Kratom last for and what can you do to make it last longer ? In ideal storage settings , it can stay potent for well over a year How to Store Kratom to make it Last Longer Over time , chemical reactions can occur in your Kratom products that may interfere with the active ingredients . One of the key beneficial alkaloids found in Kratom is mitragynine which is an opiate agonist and gives this plant its pain - relieving and relaxing properties . In the wrong conditions , sources say that this alkaloid can be converted into mitragynine pseudoindoxyl which is actually an opiate antagonist . To prevent this , Kratom leaves or powders survive best in a stable environment that is airtight , temperature - controlled , moisture free and has limited exposure to light Ideally , you should keep your Kratom in a cold room , inside an interior closet in your house or some room that does not have a window . This is necessary to ensure a relatively static temperature for the leaves which will slow down the rate at which the alkaloids degrade . Heat from the sun or from leaving your Kratom next to a heating vent can promote reactions with the alkaloids and cause them to lose potency faster . There are some users who will store their high potency Kratom extracts in a refrigerator or freezer to ensure Another threat to how long your Kratom lasts is dampness , humidity and moisture . Even a tiny bit of water in the right environment can stimulate the growth of mold in your crushed leaves or powder . Unfortunately , if you detect any mold on your Kratom , it is usually necessary to throw away all of the product that you have stored in the same place to prevent inadvertently consuming some undesirable bacteria . The best way to limit exposure to moisture is by storing it in an airtight container in some part of your house that is Using an airtight storage container will also prevent your Kratom pills from oxidizing which can shorten its useable life . Oxygen can cause the leaves to become stale due to a physiological process known as cross - linking . Air exposure can also react directly with the alkaloids , once again causing them to become less potent over time . To minimize oxygen exposure for long - term storage , you can use a vacuum seal plastic bag that removes as much air as possible from the environment . A cheaper option is to place it in a Ziplock bag Finally , keeping your Kratom leaves in a dark environment will protect it from sunlight and UV radiation damage . Have you ever noticed how a picture left in the sunlight will become faded much faster than if you were to leave the same picture in a dark closet ? The radiation from the sun and other sources of light can actually damage the molecular structure of everything from photographs to Kratom powders , causing significant reductions in alkaloid concentration over time . Keep your Kratom in a dark cupboard or closet and ideally do not leave it out in | [

Start A New Topic Reply Post Info TOPIC : How Many Cases of Grocery can you Through ? Anonymous Date : December 16th RE : How Many Cases of Grocery can you Through ? Permalink Reply Quote It all depends really . Ive worked at a few different grocery stores 2 HEBs actually . HEB , I throw 100 - 200 cph depending on the aisle thats stock / block / trash currently . At my first HEB it was 80 - 120cph thats stock / block / riser / trash . People are comparing on here that dont know other stores requirements for case count . HEB has a lot of tray packing so it is definitely possible to to 300 + on cans for a well experienced stocker , Also rotation isnt really a must Side note : I too used to think 100 + wasnt possible . I started at 60cph straight stock ! Riser / Skyshelf / Overhead = All one in the same for those who may not know . Blocking = Stocking front to back , back to front / waterfall product Facing = Two deep double stacked Anonymous Date : Sep 19 , 2018 Permalink Quote I am a girl who worked for fred meyer for 9 years . I now work for safeway / Albertsons and I feel so sorry for you lot . Reading through your messages and bragging about your case counts . . . I throw an average of 120 an hour , have always been the best freaking freight clerk on the team . . . but it ' s really sad how the Kroger structure treats us that do the most back breaking work . If you consider yourself fast working for Kroger , go work at any other grocery store after that kind of training . It ' s ridiculous how much your outshine any of these non kroger associates . Personally I ' ll never work that hard again . Sep 3 , 2018 Big sale on 12 pack ramen noodles . This was my one time stocking truck . I did over 500 of those " cases " in my one hour ' s worth of work , so I am the best . Do n ' t try to tell me I ' m not . I stocked more than you can or ever will achieve .

Case count does include stocking time and cleaning up your cardboard , does not include breaks , breaking the pallets down , conditioning / scans / backstock etc Sep 2 , 2018 Question how do you guys or girls get case counted on stocking ?

Apr 15 , 2018 I think we have one guy on truck crew that averages about 100 cases an hour . He ' s been there forever and is awesome . The rest of truck crew probably averages 40 or so an hour . I actually tried getting on truck crew , but the grocery manager is sexist against women . I actually was making rate at 55 cases an hour also , on the night he had me running a bunch of the heavy stuff . I ' m sure my rate would ' ve been higher in other areas . But since GreyKnitHat Senior Member Status : Offline Posts : 150 Apr 15 , 2018 I hit my peak at 164 with kcups , broths and soups , canned coffee , teas , ramen , gravy , hot chocolate , and mashed potatoes , once . Another couple of times I got around 140 . Beverages can get me 200 but I dont count that because of big K 12packs and seltzer . I generally run 100 - 115 . My backup is a hair slower , rare to breach 110 . One other guy does 115 - 120 . Then I have like 2 guys who are between 75 - 85 , 2 guys who are around 55 , and then three who scrape the barrel at 15 - 35 . Mind you , this is with spotted aisles . Apr 14 , 2018 You ' re just slow bud Dec 29 , 2017 Grocery trucks should be able to throw up ~ 60 , Peyton around ~ 40 - 45 . My crew , well , not so much . I got one guy that might do 20 - 25 cases an hour . A few that are stuck in the 30 ' s to early 40 ' s . Depending on the product I can do 55 - 100 + ( with 100 + being bulk items like paper , big K ' s , etc ) . I got another guy who can do the 55 + an hour , but Advice I can give to the guy with 58 hours is hopefully your department manager will check the orders better . Mitigate what comes in and if you have to , focus on priority items first . Condition as you stock to save time , even if the conditioning is n ' t perfect , have the store presentable . That ' s my goal every morning by 6AM , even if I have to personally go around every aisle and condition while the remaining stock members stock . But usually guys are gone because their shift is over and Dec 29 , 2017 Lol I work at Albertsons these fools saying they can throw over 100 an hour either Autistic or on drugs or just manager shills trying to get gullible employees to work themselves to death . I transferred to produce and that is a whole new animal . Actually stacking and constant rotation make so an 8 hour shift only gets you 200 cases MAX . Of course the cases are bigger so it ' s all relative . The key is to just stay on task anywhere in the store and yeah if you ' re slow work with somone Dec 11 , 2017 I just staryed night crew . I smash it , and so do the other guys on the team . . .howevet its impossible to leave on time . I got 58 hours last week . On big trucks around 1800 we have 4 of us . . .from 10 - 630 . Everyone us moving fast , no breaks , no phones . . .working together , fast paced . . . Yet well be there until 9 or 10 after scanning slow movers and fast . . .palletting the ad . . .and facing . We get * * * * . One guy is supposed to be part time , other gets denied vacation , and they ' ll get wrote up or punished for wanting to leave before were done . The communication is lousy , and I ' m exhausted . We have an amazing team . . .but that * * * * is impossible . I started off positive . . .and after a few concerns were raised and I was dismissed I wonder if I wanna continue . I know my worth . And if we cant be a team , and we get criticized rather than gratitude for going above and beyond ( coming in when called , giving partners rides , staying ot , doing things right and efficiently and not cutting corners ) then what ' s the point . I love working . And I love the actual job I do . . . .but man . My hands are sore , my mind is worn out , and the pressure put on makes coming in gloomy . We got an 8 on our audit . . . .and had everything done and good . We either just need one more person , or for day to help . And to be frank . Of we do all the trucks , unloading of the perishables , backstock , and slow movers . . . What does day do ? * confused * Sep 16 , 2016 I used to take a big armful of those ramen packages , throw 10 on the shelf in about 5 seconds and say " look if you do the math , that ' s over 7,000 cases an hour ! " 60 / 5 = 12 , 12x10 = 120 ( cases per minute ) , 120x60 = 7200 cases per hour . The point being that it takes a longer sample size to really be a stud at stocking cases . We had a manager who ' d always try to get us to stock faster by working with Sep 16 , 2016 Anonymous wrote : I could do 500 in an hour . This is one case that goes directly on the shelf , no opening required . The sets at most stores are being cut down to hold only 15 packages of Ramen Noodles . Where are you going to put the other 485 cases ? haha you caught me ! Well I was just saying that it is possible to stock 500 in an hour , but it ' d have to be something like this , dog food ( though you ' d really be worn out afterward ) , or soda In my store I throw 650 cases an hour . You just need proper technique and speed . My store manager saw how effecient I work and I got a $ 2 raise . I make $ 10.50 an hour now . And , If I ever catch you screwing up the paper towel and toilet paper aisle , I will break each finger until you learn to stock right . Just kidding . We have a lot of new people on days that have no f ' n clue what they are doing . They toss paper towels on the shelf upside down , backwards and in wrong spots trying to hide backstock under everything else , throw simple petfood bags puffed up and upside down on shelf , throw cases directly on shelf when it is n ' t SRP , leave backstock sitting in aisles when they leave at 5pm ( prime shopping time ) until we get there at 11pm . Fast , Cheap or done well . You only get 2 but not the other . I could do 500 in an hour . This is one case that goes directly on the shelf , no opening required . The sets at most stores are being cut down to hold only 15 packages of Ramen Noodles . Where are you going to put the other 485 cases ? I throw 60 to 80 real cases an hour and make $ 19 / hr . I am talking hand stacking spaghetti sauce and veggie cans . Water pallets do not count . Also , when you stack them straight up without tieing them somehow , it will get a customer or young kid hurt . In my store I throw 650 cases an hour . You just need proper technique and speed . My store manager saw how effecient I work and I got a $ 2 raise . I make $ 10.50 an hour now . ON my Night Crew I have Me The Grocery Manager and 1 stocker right now , We have a Truck 5 days a week , Every one is Over 1000 pieces . I through over 300 cases an hour plus we have to face the store . We get this done every night with no overtime . How is your night crew ? 300 a Hour ? Your joking right ? Ive been working stock over a year now and I probably Max out at 75 - 80 / hour and thats if im hauling ass and Ive Never seen anyone run faster then that . . . We are talking about Cases right ? Boxes with Items in them ? You take the items out and put them on the shelves ? Or are you talking about 300 Items ? Not to mention that the kroger case " goals " are only 55 cases a hour so if your somehow running Three Hundred in just One hour . . . Do you have a big S on your shirt or some kind of super powers that let you , a mere mortal , pass into this . . this . . Warp speed magical super stocker dimention or is it just Speed and Meth ? Whatever it is . . . Share ? YOU ARE FULL OF * * * * Mar 20 , 2016 thats a case every 20 seconds umm no or else your filling empty shelves cause your not rotating Aug 21 , 2015 I never saw so many people who b.s. there case counts . Im a total nerd on the this . I ' ve spent the better part of this year compiling An average clerk case count . I ask myself why do so many believe they do 75 and 80 cases per hour ? Most that make that claim are lying . It is possible but not Likely . If this were true then 3 guys could get nearly 1700 cases done . Numbers like 300 cph . Would mean my store would only need him for there 1200 case Dec 24 , 2014 Frozen Foods btw . I can put up about 430 cases on my own in 6 hours . Since I order everyday . . I lose 1 hour which hurts my CPH but it ca n ' t be helped . Frozen Foods and Dairy are different times than Grocery . If you look at the DDP , divide # of cases by # of hours . That gives you the expectations of how many cases an hour you throw . 80 % of that is acceptable . Grocery is 60 cph . KMP is about 50 cph . I can hit expectations most of the time . I do have off days every once in a while . My goal is to be fast and neat . Most new people do not realize we used to have to price everything Ordering and conditioning do not count against your cph . They each have an allotted time . Reminds me of an old joke . If you and a friend are being chased by a lion , you do n ' t need to be faster than the lion . You just need to be faster than your friend ! : ) Dec 24 , 2014 Last month I was timing myself to see if I can make improvements to my case count . I ' ve always thought I was fast and never thought to do it until this year . My findings told me I am slow under certain conditions and very fast under others . Firstly , my personal " load limit " is 60 cases to a float ( you know them as U - boats ) . I am 5 ' 11 " and it only makes sense to stack my float to at least 1ft higher than my height and no more . As long as I ' m working from this load limit , I can throw up 110 - 120 cases an hour . As it takes me 30 min to throw up 60 cases . To maintain this rate , I have to take no less than 10 minutes to load up my float . This can be faster too depending on what I am tossing to the shelves . Veggies is the fastest . Just flip off the top and toss the case to the shelf . Hot pockets are a one hand - 4 to a grab deal If I ' m working below this load limit , say 35 - 45 cases , it takes me just as long to finish that float , which is . .weird . Frozen Foods btw . I can put up about 430 cases on my own in 6 hours . Since I order everyday . . I lose 1 hour which hurts my CPH but it ca n ' t be helped . Stocker Dec 4 , 2014 WOW ! Dude you are delusional Lol . A team of 3 superheroes could n ' t throw 1250 cases in grocery , condition EVERYTHING and rotate product properly in 3 1 / 2 hrs . Can you pass a drug test lol Aug 10 , 2014 THATS NOT TAKING CARE OF THE CUSTOMER . BUT KROGER IS LIKE WALMART IN THAT ASPECT THEY DONT CARE ABOUT CUSTOMERS Jul 30 , 2014 I agree . but the attitude you have towards the situation shows me you were ' nt a very good grocery who helped your freight crew . Thats whats wrong with the grocery business today to many chiefs not enough indians . What means you forget u were once a freight thrower too so you know how it can be at times . So to think like your thinking is not sucessfull . And to be honest your store probably failed thus your former grocery manager and store director . May 6 , 2014 Any one who thinks they can believe their own BS about throwing 300 , 500 cases an hour is a MORON , the average stocker throws 75 to 85 cases per hr , a journeyman stocker throws 95 to 125 cases per hr . On your productivity sheets your probably cheating on your case counts you ca n ' t count the extra pallet of 1gl waters and the extra 12packs of coke , and the extra add items , just with these items there is your extra 250 cases . More than likely that 300 or 500 is your Mar 3 , 2014 In my store I seriously doubt 300 cases an hour is possible . We day stock and I ' m starting down the barrel of a truck that is seven hours late . So instead of going in at 5 am today I ' ll go in at 3 pm . We will stock till 10 or 11 tonight then I get to go in again at 5 . * * * * this business I ' m out Dec 14 , 2013 I know in the store i am at it is a river store in AZ the standard is 90 - 110 cph . Not that we like it but with a 3 person crew that ' s what it has to be . Now if we just had 6 wheelers to break it down that would be great . Still i think it is a bit high , we are a good size store and with us doing the front ends , specialty , produce truck and dairy truck and blocking we do n ' t have any time to Nov 15 , 2013 You are talking about a warehouse job , we are talking about stocking . Putting boxes on a pallet ai n ' t hard , half the time the pallets are n ' t even stacked right , cause s * * * * d warehouse workers ca n ' t do their job right . so why do n ' t you shut the * * * * up . Nov 15 , 2013 He ' s probably throwing capri suns or nothing but chips , because this guy is bull * * * * ting . Nov 14 , 2013 Its complely ill islea bailor . kroger must have really low standerds , Oh , I ' m sure Kroger does have low standards . I have just seen an example of that case . mega - kitteh Guru Posts : 1811 Nov 14 , 2013 I hit 85 one time hauling a $ $ and that was ONLY because I ignored calls to check up front by front end manager ( hey . . . I got my job to do , and per management request , I did just that ) How about NO ? ! ? Its complely possible to do 300 cases an hour , im a stock controller and my best stockers do 200 nightly , kroger must have really low standerds , if youre doing 60 an hour at my store ill send you home and not give you hours . Minimum is 100 . Most of my crew does 130 an hour stock , face , rotation , islea cleaned and in the bailor .

I work at Unified Grocers and there are several orders selected that have over 400 cases ane we only get 67 , 68 , maybe 75 minutes to do this order . This includes getting the 2 pallets driving through the warehouse , plastic wrapping the order and putting the order into a trailer . If you call b.s. then , shut up and go get a job at one of these location and do the job . Then , you can reply honestly . Jul 13 , 2013 I call BS on the 300 / hr . too ! Even to come anywhere close , you ' d need to have everything already cut and spotted first . Sorry , you need to account for the time it takes to cut and spot as well . I ' ve seen your type . You go and pick the easy sections like peanut butter and jelly , soda , gatorade , etc . and then you stick someone else on the canned goods and the heavy sections , then you brag about having done 3 sections already . Then on top of that , none of your stuff is conditioned , none of your cardboard is ripped and / or put in a bin / cart , and you do n ' t even so much as rotate out the old labels ! All the while , Back when we were still doing " crew sheets " , Kroger ' s own numbers said that we should be able to throw between 50 - 60 cases an hour , most things accounted for , and just about everyone I ' ve worked with was doing so . That ' s the real reason I believe they stopped having us do crew sheets because they knew that even by their own numbers , people ca n ' t do what they now act like they expect us to do . I ' m also sick of managers who brag about how fast they were back in the day when the only baby food there was was Gerber , there was maybe two kinds of spaghetti sauce , they did n ' t have the his and her diapers , organic food was unheard of , etc .

Permalink Reply Quote What does the ' job step ' in the profile on expressHR mean ? does that have anything to do with pay raises ? thedude Guru Status : Offline Posts : 1270 Date : May 17 , 2012 Permalink Quote yea i think that has to do with your pay rate / pay raise status . i am maxed out so i cant really look to figure it out . mine is at 500 . doesnt it tell you how many hours you have accrued so far in the pay raise cycle . for example - if you need 1000 hrs to earn the next 10 ยข raise , it willl also tell you that so far you have 640 hrs towards that I am no longer part of the oppressed , evil workforce of Kroger ! Can you say " Hallelujah " Anonymous ten cent raise . . . . . . uh let ' s see if i worked 40 hrs ( unlikely because Kr wants everyone possible kept at part time ) that would be a whopping $ 4.00 per week before govt deductions . after standard deductions it would be around $ 3.00 net per week . now what would that whopping $ 3 get me . . . . not even a full gallon of kr gas to drive back and forth from work one day . Gee I hope that these generous raises do n ' t throw what ( 6 - 7 figure salary per year ) Kr . labor kingpin exec . came up with that enormous generosity ? i ' m worried that this wreckless spending will drive the company into bankruptcy . i think in the future raises for us bottom feeders need to be capped at 5 cent per hour raises so the CEO and his braintrust can sleep worry free at night . . . . thedude Guru Status : Offline Posts : 1270 in my deli there is this pretty cool young dude i talk to ( you gotta talk to somebody at work & more than 3 / 4s of them are crazy psychos who cant hold a conversation worth crap ) . anyways - he was hired in a good 2 1 / 2 yrs ago when he was 18 at close to minimum wage . today the kid makes i think $ 8.60 ! he is 21 years old ! i told him it will be close to 5 more years until he will make the maximum $ 13.55 . what complete bulls % it ! i tell him daily that he is worth WAY MORE than what he makes . Go out to Home Depot or Lowes and ask for a $ 10.50 job based on your 3 years of retail experience . go take a look at the ridiculous pay hike scale set up between Kroger and our Union . its a dime here , a dime there and you must work 1000 hrs between pay rate hikes . THATS 25 WEEKS or HALF A YEAR PEOPLE ! FOR A F * CKIN ' DIME ! Its only after you get into the $ 11 range that the pay increases are more reasonable . Kroger shafts you if you get hired in at a very low rate ( and I am sure the majority of Kroger employees get hired in for cheap ) then it will take you enternity to make decent pay . I am no longer part of the oppressed , evil workforce of Kroger ! Can you say " Hallelujah " May 19 , 2012 No it applies to you years of service senority etc . has nothing to do with you pay that is union controlled based on length of service and whether u r part or full time May 19 , 2012 Dude your max pay is that much hell thats dept head pay where im at max pa is 10.55 Mike0688 Newbie Posts : 4 May 21 , 2012 You only make that much ?

http://krqe.com/2014/02/07/recent-nm-skinwalker-photo-ignites-fear/ | New Mexico Recent NM โ skinwalker ' photo ignites fear By : Kim Vallez Updated : Mar 01 , 2018 03 : 54 PM MST CUBA , N.M. ( KRQE ) - ( This article was originally published on Feb 7 , 2014 ) Is a strange alien - looking creature prowling in northern New Mexico ? A Facebook picture circulating Thursday has a lot of people up there worried . The post was shared thousands of times within a few hours and had a lot of people uttering the word skinwalker , a well - known legend in Indian country . The picture shows an unexplained being lurking on the side of a road . The person who posted it claimed it was taken near Lybrook and Counselor , which is near the Jicarilla reservation . The story claims that a geologist was working in an oil field in the area and saw something odd and decided to take a heat signature of it . The next day , the geologist suddenly quit . The story spread like wildfire with people on social media saying , โ seriously freaking out , โ โ yikes โฆ I โ m driving through there tomorrow , โ and โ skinwalker ! โ Skinwalker refers to a Native American legend which was brought to life by author Tony Hillerman . According to the legend , a skinwalker is a person with the supernatural ability to turn into any animal and walks on all fours . There are stories of countless encounters , but few will speak of them , too scared they will be targeted again . Many people who posted and shared the picture Thursday said they found their posts and comments disappear . People who emailed it to others said they were unable to retrieve it . But everyone can rest easy . It did n โ t take long for the picture and story to be debunked . It apparently comes from a 1980s science fiction move โ Xtro , โ where a creepy being is born , then goes on the prowl and is spotted by a couple driving along the road . It โ s unclear how the story was connected to Lybrook or Counselor , or that so - called geologist . Perhaps it was just someone having a little fun , but it shows the power of social media and legends . The New Mexican who posted the image Thursday has since taken it down , saying she shared it because others had . She says she has no information about its origin .

http://krya.in/blogk/2017/07/onionjuicehairgrowthinsightsfromkrya/ | July 10 2017 by Preethi Does onion juice really stimulate hair growth Ayurvedic insights from Krya Reading Time 6 minutes We are often asked about 2 Internet miracle cure remedies for hairfall the application of Onion juice on scalp and the use of castor oil on hair for boosting hair growth and to treat alopecia and balding Even when we suggest Krya products a change in diet and lifestyle practices like Abhyanga and Yoga we are asked if these home remedies can be continued along with our products and suggestions What is the cause of intense hairfall according to Ayurveda Is there any scientific basis to some of these miracle cures Why might they work might not work according to Ayurveda This post will explore whether there is a scientific basis behind onion juice for the scalp and what Ayurveda has to say about it Onion juice application on the scalp Onion juice is a very popular hair growth remedy on the Internet It is considered a miraculous hair growth boosting treatment supposed to boost micro circulation on the scalp rejuvenate follicles and improve hair growth There is only one scientific study which has attempted to study the effects of onion juice on the scalp and this study was performed on a very tiny sample of people in 2002 The study was published in the Journal of Dermatology in 2002 Study design and sample size used Patients were divided into 2 groups The control group had to apply plain tap water on their scalp The second group had to apply onion juice onto the scalp The control group had 15 patients 8 men and 7 women and the second group had 23 patients 16 men and 7 women After 4 weeks hair growth was seen in 17 out of 23 patients and at 6 weeks among 20 out of 23 patients Scientific loopholes in the study The sample size is small and statistically insignificant and does not have a meaningful number of patients spanning ages The average median age of both groups was between 18 22 years of age The groups did not follow any fair patterns of selection like the same number same composition of men and women and age groups The control group was treated with plain tap water What is significant that even when the scalp was massaged with plain tap water 2 out of the 15 patients experienced hair growth If we assume tap water to be a neutral hair growth ingredient anything in comparison should give us good hair results like a vegetable oil or any other herb This study therefore does not do justice to the hype around onion juice as a miraculous hair growth ingredient and does not form any kind of basis for the hundreds of websites now out there promoting onion juice Is there a chance it could work What does Ayurveda say Onion juice is considered high in pitta as per Ayurveda It is a natural anti bacterial and high sulphur containing herb It is advised to be used in small quantities in the diet whenever pitta is required to be stimulated We typically need the properties of Pitta when we are trying to digest a heavy meal Therefore onion and garlic are usually used when we cook meat to help us digest the meat better Similarly we find the use of onions in making hard to digest lentils like rajma chickpeas etc Additionally if we are eating heavy meals or at odd times when pitta is naturally low onion and garlic can be used Onion and garlic is also used in very cold seasons where pitta is naturally low This helps stimulate the digestive fire In cases where Pitta is already high like in the case of hair thinning and premature greying brought on by excess Pitta Ayurveda advises that we cut down on pitta stimulating foods like onion and garlic Sudden excessive hairfall in Ayurveda Indralupta Indralupta is the condition described in Ayurveda which is closest to alopecia Here the texts describe that hair fall is both sudden and intense where the hair becomes weak rooted and falls on the slightest pressure Indralupta is usually seen as a tridosha disorder where 2 things happen Aggravated Pitta and Vata enters into the hair follicle The effect of these 2 doshas is twofold Pitta heats the hair follicle dries out moisture and thins it down and greys it Vata sucks out oil and moisture and dries out the hair It also weakens the root making it fall very easily Kapha which produces Sleshma oily and fatty layer giving strength oozes below the scalp blocking the follicles from sprouting new hair Therefore you have 2 doshas weakening existing hair and making them fall and the third dosha preventing the growth of new hair Indralupta therefore sees symptoms attributed to derangement of all 3 doshas deranged vata will cause dryness whitish discoloration of scalp and rough frizzy hair that breaks and falls Deranged Pitta will cause premature greying and thinning and ring pattern balding Deranged kapha will cause prevention of hair growth Depending upon the dosha imbalance in the specific person we could have Vataja Indralupta where the deranged Vata is very high Kaphaja Indralupta where Kapha derangement is highest and Pittaja Indralupta where Pitta derangement is highest Ayurvedic treatment for different kinds of intense hair loss Indralupta Treatment given for each kind of Indralupta varies slightly In Pittaja Indralupta emphasis is given on cooling the whole body So Milk and butter is prescribed and application of the paste of cooling and Madhura herbs like Mulethi and Amla is suggested In Vataja Indralupta herbs like Sugarcane are added to nourish the body and citrus fruits are used in combination with wound healing herbs like Tulsi to reducing the itching and dryness associated with Vataja Indralupta Since many times there is a combination of doshas leading to imbalance the texts advice using a combination of heating herbs to dissolve kleshma sweet and astringent herbs to nourish and reduce Pitta and unctuous healing and nourishing herbs to bring down Vata How Krya treats intense hairfall varies as per dosha imbalance At Krya whenever we receive complaints of excessive hairfall we try and analyse the dosha imbalance behind this hairfall Based on this we suggest either using the Krya Intense hair system alone or the intense hair oil with a combination of our other hair oils So for a Pittaja Indralupta we may suggest Krya classic hair oil Krya Intense hair Oil For Kaphaja Indralupta we may go along with Krya Intense hair Oil alone for the hair body abhyanga to bring down Kapha as a whole For Vataja Indralupta we may suggest supplementation of milk and ghee along with combination of Krya conditioning hair oil Krya Intense hair oil For mental stress based Vataja Indralupta we have successfully tried a combination of Krya harmony hair oil Krya Intense hair oil Ayurvedic approach identify dosha imbalance behind hairloss and treat accordingly The point being made here is that Ayurveda treats balding and hair loss as a combination of several factors Depending upon the reason behind the hair loss we have to use herbs in the right combination to treat the disorder Onion juice application may help in Kaphaja Indralupta as Onion juice can irritate the scalp produce heat and help dissolve Kleshma However it can not add nourishing substances or astringent factors and these are also required to support hair growth It is also worth noting that the texts have not used onion juice application for the scalp at all despite suggesting a very wide array of herbs of both plants mineral and animal origin Krya verdict to continue with onion juice or not As we have said above unless we have identified the dosha imbalance behind the hairloss we can not adopt or suggest any single herb remedy So if you have pitta or vata imbalanced Indralupta onion juice will worsen the problem and not cure it When in doubt and facing a serious hair loss it is far better to consult an Ayurvedic Vaidya and determine the cause behind hairfall then try out an internet remedy It is also important in the case of severe hair loss to seriously adopt health giving habits like the abhyanga correct your diet reduce stress and eat well Ayurveda tells us always to choose the holistic long term solution and choose good health When we follow health giving habits and a diet our imbalances are gently but steadily corrected Here are some other posts you might like 5 Ayurvedic

But I usually find something interesting enough to do . Accolades poured in on social media . Actor Kiefer Sutherland tweeted : โ My deepest sympathies to John Hurt โ s family , friends and fans . He was a dear friend . โ Actor Elijah Wood tweeted : โ Very sad to hear of John Hurt โ s passing . It was such an honor to have watched you work , sir . โ Hurt was born in Shirebrook , a coal mining village in Derbyshire , England , the son of an an engineer and one - time actress and an Anglican clergyman and mathematician , IMDb said . He trained to become a painter but , after being accepted into the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art , worked on the stage in the early 1960s . His first film role came in the โ angry young man โ drama โ Young and Willing โ in 1962 and his first major role in โ A Man for All Seasons โ in 1966 , IMDb said . His big break came when he portrayed the gay writer and raconteur Quentin Crisp in the mid - 1970s television play โ The Naked Civil Servant , โ which was adapted from Crisp โ s autobiography , IMDb said . The good roles kept coming . He went on to play a Turkish prison inmate in โ Midnight Express โ in 1978 and the gentle , disfigured John Merrick in โ The Elephant Man โ in 1980 . Those roles earned him Oscar nominations and he won a Golden Globe for best supporting actor in โ Midnight Express . โ He usually played characters with problems , and IMDb said he died 47 times on screen . But Hurt also also had comic roles , such as Jesus in Mel Brooks โ โ History of the World : Part I โ in 1981 , which he took on because he โ d just done two serious roles and wanted to have some fun , IMDb said . Hurt appeared in the first two Harry Potter movies , playing wand maker Garrick Ollivander , and did voice work and narration in movies like โ Watership Down , โ โ The Plague Dogs , โ and โ Thumbelina . โ Some of his top television roles included Caligula in โ I , Claudius โ in 1976 , General Woundwort in โ Watership Down โ and the War Doctor in โ Doctor Who . โ He was awarded the CBE ( Commander of the Order of the British Empire ) in the 2004 Queen โ s Birthday Honours List for his services to Drama . Hurt was married four times and was married to Anwen Rees - Myers when he died . Hurt was an alcoholic for years but said he quit drinking in 2005 , according to IMDb . A grand scheme never guided his life , he said . โ I โ ve just been whipped along by the waves I โ m sitting in , โ he said , according to IMDb . โ I do n โ t make plans at all . Plans are what make God laugh . You can make plans , you can make so many plans , but they never go right , do they ? โ Filed in : Entertainment | [

http://kunr.org/post/sparks-marina-past-present-future | The Sparks Marina : Past , Present , Future By Esther Ciammachilli Oct 8 , 2015 View Slideshow 1 of 4 On a calm , glassy morning , a man fishes from the banks of the serene Sparks Marina . Esther Ciammachilli Businesses and real estate around the Sparks Marina took a hard hit after the recession and both have been slow to regain momentum . That , together with some high - profile ecological issues , has left many in the area with mixed perceptions about the health and vitality of this lake community . For our series , Beyond Tahoe : Exploring Our Waterways , Reno Public Radio โ s Esther Ciammachilli reports . Listen Listening . . . 4 : 16 Lisa G . is known as the Mayor of the Sparks Marina . She โ s the owner of Marina Paddle Fit , one of the only businesses currently open there . Lisa takes great pride in this lake . โ I think it โ s beautiful and sometimes you can see down like 40 feet . And there โ s days we sit here and you can see kind of where the drop offs are , kind of like in Tahoe . And so the water changes color . โ Other people may be harder to persuade . The Marina was originally the Helm โ s pit , a giant quarry used for construction material that suffered contamination from a nearby oil tank farm in the late 1980s . In 1995 , after decontamination , the City of Sparks acquired the land and the plan was to fill it with water and turn it into a park . The New Year โ s Day Flood of 1997 sped up this process . โ The water made their way across interstate 80 from the north Truckee drain , backed up the north Truckee drain and then the waters flooded โฆ into what was then the Helm โ s Pit โฆ The Helm โ s Pit today exists as the Sparks Marina . โ That โ s John Martini , city engineer for Sparks . He says officials estimated it would take about three years to fill the 120 foot - deep ravine . So much water poured into the quarry during the flood that it was full in just two days . To give you a scale of how much water that is , here โ s Martini again . โ The Marina holds about a billion gallons of water and about one to three millions gallons of ground water a day comes into the pit . โ These pumps siphon anywhere from 1.5 million to 3 million gallons of water a day out of the Sparks Marina everyday and into the Truckee River , where it flows east and out of the Washoe Valley . Credit Esther Ciammachilli The Marina is fed by ground water . To prevent overflow , roughly three million gallons are pumped out and into the Truckee River every day . Ground water has no oxygen and tends to sit at the bottom of the lake . However , temperature changes can cause it to mix with oxygenated water up top . This depletes the oxygen in the lake and suffocates sensitive fish . โ The fish do n โ t have enough oxygen in order to survive and thrive and when that oxygen depletion happens , the fish do not survive that event . โ That โ s Chris Healy from the Nevada Department of Wildlife . He says events like this , called turn - overs , are actually pretty common . The Sparks Marina turned - over in 2013 and 2014 making headlines and causing thousands of fish die . Healy says they had a pretty good theory as to why this happened the first time . 2013 was an extra cold winter and a lack of wind meant the Marina did n โ t get a lot of wave action , which can oxygenate the water . This created perfect turn - โ โฆ we did not have those same circumstances . It sent the Department of Wildlife and the City of Sparks to the drawing board again saying what really has gone on ? โ The buoy in the water here is one of three in the Marina . Attached to these are devices that monitor the lakes temperature and oxygen every five meters . Credit Esther Ciammachilli Devices have been set up in the Marina to track water temperature and oxygen every five meters . Data will be collected over the next couple of years to try to solve this mystery . Healy says that their readings always show that water quality and health is very high . This should help build local confidence in the lake , which is slowly seeing a revival in development . Along the walking path is a giant free - standing parking structure that โ s been sitting like an eyesore on the Marina since the recession . โ The parking garage you see today will be wrapped with multi - family homes and we think that project will get underway early next year โฆ It โ ll be kind of neat . You โ ll drive into the parking garage , park on your level , get out of your car and walk in your front door . โ Condos will eventually wrap this parking structure . Residents will drive into the garage , park on their level and walk in their front doors . That โ s John Martini from the city again . He says more than 100 condos will finally be built and the project should take about a year and half to complete . As for future business development , Lisa G . says her success is due to community support and perseverance . They call her the Mayor of the Sparks Marina .

Alfau worries that by 2025 , when the minimum wage is expected to be above $ 18 an hour , only big businesses will survive Credit : KUOW Photo / Deborah Wang How Seattle Restaurants Plan To Survive The $ 15 Minimum Wage , Or Not By Deborah Wang May 08 , 2015 at 3 : 27 pm More So here โ s a math problem for you . What do you do if you run a low - margin , labor - intensive business and your labor costs are about to go up 60 percent ? That โ s the dilemma facing Seattle restaurants . Restaurants employ about a quarter of the city โ s minimum - wage workers . These businesses typically make profits of 5 percent per year or less . In April , the minimum wage in Seattle rose to $ 11 an hour . It will rise every year , at different rates for different businesses , until it reaches $ 15 an hour between 2017 and 2021 . It โ s expected to exceed $ 18 an hour by 2025 . So how can restaurants survive the transition ? Here is what some restaurant owners have decided to do . Chef Tom Douglas , who owns 15 restaurants in the city of Seattle , is in the process of raising prices on his menu items by 4 percent . Douglas had initially announced plans to tack a 2 percent surcharge on every bill , but scrapped that after negative reaction from his customers . Douglas employs close to a thousand people and is considered a large employer under the law . But since he provides medical insurance to his employees , he has one extra year โ until January 2018 โ to reach $ 15 an hour . Douglas supports raising the minimum wage and already pays some of the highest wages in the business . But he also does n โ t know how much he can raise prices before customers start to cut back on spending . โ I do n โ t know if it is worth it for you to come to our restaurants when chicken is $ 30 a portion compared with when it was $ 20 a portion . I just do n โ t know , โ he said . He says it โ s conceivable that he may have to close down some of his restaurants if labor costs become unaffordable . But he thinks that โ s OK . โ I would rather have people making a living wage instead of selling more chicken , โ Douglas said . Jeremy Hardy owns Coastal Kitchen , a neighborhood restaurant that is open for breakfast , lunch and dinner . He said he likes to be open all day because there are not many places in the neighborhood where you can get a meal at , say , 3 in the afternoon . But he is already opening one hour later and closing one hour earlier , and he is considering whether he should close at some points during the day . โ I โ m going through hourly sales , and if it is not profitable , we are not going to do it , because we ca n โ t afford to , โ Hardy said . As a small business , Hardy has until 2021 before all of his staff must be paid at least $ 15 an hour . But he is making the changes now in anticipation of the coming crunch . Even in good times , running a restaurant , with its tiny margins and high failure rate , is like โ juggling with clubs . โ โ With the labor pressures that are coming from this $ 15 eventual minimum - wage increase , we are juggling with razor - sharp daggers . And if we do n โ t get it right , it โ s really going to hurt , โ Hardy said . In many restaurants , tipped workers are amongst the highest - paid employees . Servers typically make the minimum wage , but then can take home double or triple that amount in tips . Washington is one of only seven states in the U.S. ( plus Guam ) that require tipped workers to be paid the full minimum wage , in addition to their tips . Most states have a separate , lower minimum wage for tipped workers . Nineteen states require only the federal minimum wage for tipped workers of $ 2.13 an hour . Restaurants have been struggling with the fact that under the new Seattle law , they are required to give the biggest pay raises to the employees who in many cases already make a decent wage , while the people who work in the kitchen โ so - called โ back of the house โ staff โ are the ones who really need the raise . Ivar โ s , the Seattle - based seafood chain , has responded to that dilemma by experimenting with doing away with tipping entirely . Since April , the menus at Ivar โ s Salmon House , the company โ s sit - down restaurant on Lake Union , include a note saying that tipping is no longer expected . The restaurant has also raised menu prices 21 percent . A fifth of that increase will allow the company to immediately raise the starting wage at the restaurant to $ 15 an hour , three years ahead of schedule . The other 17 percent , which Ivar โ s president Bob Donegan said is the equivalent of the average tip at the restaurant , will be shared by all employees , in both the front and back of the house . According to Donegan , diners so far seem to like the new arrangement and a large portion of them are continuing to leave tips . But he acknowledges that there will be some customers and some servers who wo n โ t like the new system . โ Some people love it and some people hate it . And the bulk of people in the middle will find if they like it or they do n ' t , โ he said . Manu Alfau , owner of La Bodega in Pioneer Square , pays all of his employees more than $ 11 an hour , so he has not yet felt the effects of the new minimum - wage law . Small businesses have to reach $ 15 an hour by 2019 , with two extra years if they provide tips or medical benefits . Alfau said the wage increase will start to affect his bottom line when it hits $ 13 . La Bodega , which serves Dominican food , is Alfau โ s first restaurant . He opened in 2013 with loans from family members . During lunch , the line of customers often reaches the door . Alfau said he โ s too busy to really contemplate what the future wage increases will mean for him . โ I โ m just watching the big guys to see what they do , โ he said . But he worries what the Seattle restaurant scene will be like in 2025 , when the minimum wage is expected to be over $ 18 an hour . โ Only the really , really strong are going to survive , โ he said . โ I do n โ t think small businesses are going to be able to keep up at $ 18 an hour . โ That may sound bleak , but Alfau โ s goal by 2025 is to be one of those big businesses that does survive the transition . Small franchise owners are likely to be most affected by the new law . Because of their connection to a larger national network , the Seattle law regards franchisees as large businesses and requires them to reach $ 15 an hour by 2017 , or 2018 if they offer medical benefits . Ritu Shah Burnham operates zpizza , a California franchise , on Capitol Hill . Burnham opened the business four years ago during the recession . She employs 12 people . This year , the restaurant was on track to make its first profit , Burnham said . But the prospect of raising salaries to $ 15 an hour by January of 2017 was daunting . โ If you have to pay $ 15 an hour in 20 months , it โ s a little difficult to do a business plan to make that work . I tried , before I made my decision I tried , and I did n โ t see it happening , โ she said . Burnham had an escape clause in her 10 - year lease . She decided to exercise it , rather than lock in for another five years with her house as collateral . โ Me , my husband , my children , we ' re all personally accountable if I go under . I ' m not willing to take that risk with these kind of numbers , โ she said . Burnham is now looking for a buyer , but she said she there has been no interest . She expects she will have to write off most of her initial investment in the business . Proponents of the $ 15 wage argue that with more money in workers ' pockets , Seattle ' s restaurants will do better than ever . Even if that is true in aggregate , individual restaurant owners question whether their restaurants will benefit . Typically , about 18 percent of Seattle restaurants either close or change hands every year , according to the Seattle Restaurant Association . Researchers at the University of Washington will be studying the effects of the law over the next five years . They will look at business openings and closings , employment numbers , and workers ' earnings , among other things . Jacob Vigdor , the head of the study , said he expects most businesses will be able to adapt to the first year of the wage increase . But as the wage moves to $ 13 and then $ 15 an hour , that ' s when the crunch will come . " The restaurants that are really in high demand , the restaurants that attract a higher income clientele will probably find ways to make it work out . But if you are a restaurant in a poor neighborhood where your margins may be lower to start with and where you are really relying on low - wage labor , it might be tougher to work out . And then your options look a little less attractive , " Vigdor said . According to Vigdor , one of the key questions will be how diners react to the inevitable price increases : whether they are willing to pony up more money for meals out , or whether they will eat more of their meals at home . " There is no law that says the citizens of Seattle must eat at restaurants , " he said .

Later , Tanaka and the others convene at a river and are given lanterns . Tanaka tells Ciel that it is part of the Japanese lantern festival , the purpose of which is to " light " the way for the spirits of the deceased . Ciel proceeds to light everyone ' s lanterns via a candle . The lanterns are , then , set afloat into the river , marking the end of the night . One day , " Ciel Phantomhive " returns to Phantomhive Manor , where Tanaka informs him that Ciel used everything lost in the fire as an opportunity to hide the fact that he is the twin of " Ciel . " When " Ciel " later reveals that he is the twin of Ciel in front of Ciel , Sebastian , and the other servants , Tanaka goes downstairs with " Ciel ' s " tea , and tells the other servants that he knew all along about the existence of the twins . He adds that , while he was planning to take the secret to his grave , such would be pointless now , and relays the story of fifteen years ago when Rachel Phantomhive gave birth to twins . Pressured by " Ciel " to explain why he deceived them , Ciel calls himself " Ciel ' s " spare . Tanaka listens to the conversation between Ciel , Sebastian , " Ciel , " and Undertaker Quotes ( To ) " The head of the Phantomhive house should not be shaken by something as trivial as the death of a servant . I never once saw the Master lose his composure due to such trifles . ( To Karl Woodley ) " If someone means any harm against the Young Master in this mansion , no matter who they are , these servants will have no mercy on them . The Phantomhive family butler is not allowed to breathe his last breath before his master . Worrying about your master is n ' t a butler ' s only duty . As a butler . . . you have to make sure your master returns to a perfect situation . ( To Sebastian Michaelis , about ' s condition in the Emerald Witch Arc Rest is best for wounds of the heart . The Young Master must be in turmoil . At times like these we should not lose our heads or rush things . We need to watch over him . , as he tells him to escape with Sieglinde Sullivan " Finny , go ahead . Let this old man take care of her . We will carry out any order our master gives us . That is the policy . . . of the Phantomhive servants ! " Trivia Tanaka ' s favorite tea is Gyokuro Etymology His name , Tanaka , is Japanese and means " ( dweller in the ) middle of rice fields . " Out of Universe According to the official Kuroshitsuji character popularity poll , Tanaka is the twelfth most popular character in the series , with 156 votes . The " baritsu " Tanaka displays when he protects from may be a reference to the form of martial arts popularized by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in The Return of Sherlock Holmes It is , additionally , a certain misspelling of bartitsu , which existed in Great Britain around the time Doyle ' s works were being written . Tanaka in recent chapters is shown to be skilled in using a katana In early drafts , Tanaka had visibly thicker hair .

http://kut.org/post/you-can-now-file-non-emergency-police-reports-online | You Can Now File Non - Emergency Police Reports Online By Nathan Bernier Apr 7 , 2011 APD ' s new website allows you to report non - emergency crimes online . The Austin Police Department launched a new online reporting system today called CopLogic . It allows you to file the kind of non - emergency , low priority cases complaints you might normally report to 3 - 1 - 1 . In fact , APD says it processed more than 58,000 reports last year through 3 - 1 - 1 . That ' s an average of 158 calls a day . The new system , APD hopes , will improve the quality of reporting and case tracking . While people can currently file reports in English only , APD says the system will be gradually expanded over the next two months to include Spanish and Vietnamese . The Travis County Sherriff ' s office has been using a similar system since 2009 . CopLogic lists dozens of law enforcement agencies across the US and Canada as its clients . Tags : Austin Police | [

http://kxan.com/2016/01/04/san-antonio-river-walk-drained-for-maintenance/ | San Antonio River Walk drained for maintenance San Antonio River Draining ( WOAI Photo / Darlene Dorsey ) SAN ANTONIO ( AP ) โ Most of the San Antonio River has been drained along the River Walk restaurant and entertainment district for maintenance and sediment removal . City of San Antonio spokeswoman April Luna says much of the water was drained Monday . Luna says sediment will be removed to improve water quality . Crews concentrated on the main channel and the river loop . The joint project involves the city and the San Antonio River Authority , which plans to do maintenance on a lock and dam near Brooklyn Avenue . Luna says a large drainage project , in 2010 and 2011 , removed about 8.7 tons of sediment . The city skipped draining the San Antonio River in 2012 and 2013 , then resumed in 2014 but not last year . The timetable for this year โ s draining is through Saturday .

http://kygrro.org/history/civil-war/ | The Civil War in ( Western ) Kentucky Antebellum Kentucky Abraham Lincoln at age 54 ( 1863 ) . Kentucky was one of the โ border states โ in the Civil War , both geographically and politically . It was situated on the dividing line between the northern and southern regions of the United States . And it was one of only a few slave states that opted to stay in the Union . Though the Commonwealth was officially neutral , its citizens were deeply divided over the issues that caused the Civil War , and over the war itself โ a division symbolized by the fact that both Civil War presidents , Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis , were Kentucky native sons . Kentuckians had ties to both the North and South . The tobacco , whiskey , snuff , and flour produced in the state were shipped to Southern and European markets via the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and to the Northern cities by rail . Losing either of these markets because of war would be a blow to Kentucky โ s economy . Jefferson Davis By law , Kentucky was a slave state . Kentucky was a source of slaves for the cotton plantations in the lower South , and the slave trade was a very profitable business for many Kentuckians . However , most Kentuckians did not own slaves . Those who did were wealthy plantation owners who stood to lose a lot if slavery were abolished . The major slave - owning areas in the state were the Bluegrass region , Henderson and Oldham counties on the Ohio River , and the western Kentucky counties of Trigg , Christian , Todd , and In 1860 , slaves composed 19.5 % of the Commonwealth โ s population , and many Unionist Kentuckians saw nothing wrong with the โ peculiar institution โ . The Commonwealth was further bound to the South by the Mississippi River and its tributaries , which were the main commercial outlet for her surplus produce , although railroad connections to the North were beginning to diminish the importance of this tie . The ancestors of many Kentuckians hailed from Southern states like Virginia , North Carolina , and Tennessee , but many Kentucky children were beginning to migrate toward the North . Abraham Lincoln 1809 - 1865 ; 16th President of the United States I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game . Kentucky , along with North Carolina , also boasted the best educational systems in the South . โ Transylvania University โ had long been one of the most respected institutions of higher learning in the nation , and while its reputation had begun to fade by 1860 , other Kentucky schools like โ Centre College โ and โ Georgetown College โ were gaining prominence . Kentucky ' s Civil War Heritage Guide Download Guide 79 downloads 0.00 KB The Paper Trail of the Civil War in Kentucky Download Paper Trail 12228 downloads 594.01 KB Politically , Kentucky was proud of its role in preserving the Union . Through the work of the Great Compromiser , Kentucky Senator Henry Clay , conflict was prevented for more than 30 years , even though bitter feelings between the Northern and Southern states over tariffs , states โ rights , and the slavery issue threatened to rip the country apart . At the time of the Civil War , the Kentucky governor , Beriah Magoffin , was a Southern sympathizer , while the representatives in the legislature supported the Union . When the time came for the legislature to vote whether to secede from the Union and join the Confederacy or agree to provide troops for the Federal army , Magoffin called a special session of the Kentucky General Assembly on December 27 , 1860 and asked legislators for a convention of Kentuckians to decide the Commonwealth โ s course regarding secession . The majority of the General Assembly had Unionist sympathies , however , and declined the governor โ s request , fearing that the state โ s voters would favor secession . The Assembly did , however , send Peace Conference in Washington , D.C. , and asked Congress to call a national convention to consider potential resolutions to the secession crisis , including the โ Crittenden Compromise โ , authored by Kentuckian John J . Crittenden The War Breaks Out On April 15 , 1861 , President Abraham Lincoln sent a telegram to Kentucky governor Beriah Magoffin requesting that the Commonwealth supply part of the initial 75,000 troops to put down the rebellion . Magoffin , a Southern sympathizer , replied : Instead , most Kentuckians favored John J . Crittenden โ s position that the Commonwealth should act as a mediator between the two sides . To that end , both houses of the General Assembly passed declarations of neutrality , a position officially declared by Governor Magoffin on May 20 , 1861 . Beriah Magoffin 1815 - 1885 ; 21st Governor of Kentucky President Lincoln , Washington , D.C. I will send not a man nor a dollar for the wicked purpose of subduing my sister Southern states . From May 29 โ 31 , 1861 , delegates from 5 Jackson Purchase counties met in Mayfield along with delegates of 12 Tennessee counties to discuss secession , but the plan was quickly abandoned following Tennessee โ s secession . Both sides respected the Commonwealth โ s neutrality , but positioned themselves strategically to take advantage of any change in the situation . Union forces established Camp Clay in Ohio just north of the city of Newport , Kentucky and Camp Joe Holt in Indiana opposite Louisville , Kentucky . Meanwhile Confederate troops constructed Forts Donelson and Henry just across Kentucky โ s southern border in Tennessee , and stationed troops fewer than 50 yards from Cumberland Gap Volunteers from the Commonwealth left the state to join up with whichever side they favored . Some covert recruiting also took place . Nearly 60 infantry regiments served in the Union armies versus just 9 in the Confederate . However , a rather large number of cavalry outfits joined the latter . John Breckenridge originally commanded the โ Orphan Brigade โ of the Army of Tennessee , consisting of the 2nd , 3rd , 4th , 6th , and 9th Kentucky Infantry . The brigade โ s nickname came about allegedly because the soldiers โ home counties were occupied by Union troops for most of the war and they could n โ t go home to them . Realizing that neutrality was becoming less and less feasible , six prominent Kentuckians met to find some solution for a state caught in the middle of a conflict . Governor Magoffin , John C . Breckinridge , and Richard Hawes represented the states โ rights position , while Crittenden , Archibald Dixon , and S . S . Nicholas advocated the Northern cause . The sextet agreed only to continue the doctrine of neutrality , however , and called for the formation of a five member board to coordinate the Commonwealth โ s defense . The General Assembly created the board on May 24 and vested in it supervision of the state โ s military , a power reserved in the Kentucky Constitution for the governor . The Commonwealth โ s military forces , however , proved to be just as divided as the general populace . The State Guard , under the command of Simon B . Buckner , largely favored the Confederate cause , while the newly - formed Home Guard were mostly Unionists . Several close calls almost started a conflict within the state , but Buckner successfully negotiated with Union general George B . McClellan and Tennessee Governor Isham Harris to maintain the Commonwealth โ s neutrality through the summer . The Elections of 1861 The tide of public opinion was beginning to turn in Kentucky , however . In a special congressional election held June 20 , 1861 , Unionist candidates won nine of Kentucky โ s ten congressional seats . Confederate sympathizers won only the Jackson Purchase region , which was economically linked to Tennessee by the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers . Seeing imminent defeat at the polls , many Southern Rights Advocates boycotted the election ; the total number of ballots cast was just over half the number that had been cast in the previous year โ s election . Governor Magoffin was dealt a further blow in the August 5 election for state legislators . This election resulted in veto - proof Unionist majorities of 76 โ 24 in the House and 27 โ 11 in the Senate . From that point forward , most of Magoffin โ s vetoes to protect southern interests were overridden in the General Assembly . After clashing with the Assembly for over a year on even the most trivial issues , Magoffin decided that resignation was his only option . Magoffin โ s lieutenant governor , Linn Boyd , had died in office , and Senate Speaker John Fisk , next in line for the governorship , was not acceptable to Magoffin as a successor . In an intricate plan worked out with the General Assembly , Fisk resigned as speaker and the James F . Robinson , to the post . Magoffin then resigned , promoting Robinson to governor , and Fisk was re - elected as Senate Speaker . William ' Bull ' Nelson 1824 - 1862 ; Major General ( Union ) That a camp of loyal Union men , native Kentuckians , should assemble in camp under the flag of the Union and upon their native soil [ and ] should be a cause of apprehension is something I do not clearly understand . Almost immediately following the results of the 1861 election , William โ Bull โ Nelson established Camp Dick Robinson , a Union recruiting camp , in Garrard County . When Crittenden objected to this violation of Kentucky โ s neutrality , Nelson replied : Governor Magoffin appealed to President Lincoln to close the camp , but he refused . Meanwhile , Confederate volunteers covertly crossed the Tennessee border and massed at Camp Boone , just south of Guthrie . Kentucky โ s fragile neutrality was nearing an end . Neutrality Violated โ Battle at Columbus - Belmont On September 4 , 1861 , Confederate Major General Leonidas Polk violated the Commonwealth โ s neutrality by ordering Brigadier General Gideon Johnson Pillow to occupy Columbus . Columbus was of strategic importance both because it was the terminus of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad and because of its position along the Mississippi River . Polk constructed Fort DuRussey in the high bluffs of Columbus , and equipped it with 143 cannons . Polk called the fort โ The Gibraltar of the West . โ To control traffic along the river , Polk stretched an anchor chain across the river from the bank in Columbus to the opposite bank in Belmont , Missouri . Each link of the chain measured eleven inches long by Grants Troops Loading in Cairo , Illinois In response to the Confederate invasion , Union Brigadier General Ulysses S . Grant left Cairo , Illinois and entered Paducah , Kentucky on September 6 , which gave the Union control of the northern end of the New Orleans and Ohio Railroad and the mouth of the Tennessee River . Governor Magoffin denounced both sides for violating the Commonwealth โ s neutrality , calling for both sides to withdraw . However , on September 7 , 1861 , the General Assembly passed a resolution ordering the withdrawal of only Confederate forces . Magoffin vetoed the resolution , but both houses overrode the veto , and Magoffin issued the proclamation . The General Assembly Grant requested permission from theater commander Maj . Gen . John C . Frรฉmont to attack Columbus , but no orders came . For the next two months only limited demonstrations were conducted against the Confederates . Frรฉmont learned the Confederates planned to reinforce their forces in Arkansas , and on November 1 , he ordered Grant to make a feint toward Columbus to keep the Confederates there . Grant sent about 3,000 men under Col . Richard Oglesby into southeastern Missouri . Grant then learned that Confederate reinforcements were moving into Missouri to intercept Oglesby โ s column . He sent reinforcements and also ordered Brig . Gen . Charles F . Smith to move from Paducah into southwestern Kentucky to distract the Confederates . Grant chose to attack Belmont , a ferry landing and tiny hamlet of just three shacks , about 2,000 feet across the river from Columbus . Grant โ s Expeditionary Command numbered 3,114 officers and men , and was organized into two brigades under Brig . Gen . John A . McClernand and Col . Henry Dougherty , two cavalry companies , and an artillery battery . On November 6 , escorted by the gunboats USS Tyler USS Lexington , Grant โ s men left Cairo on the steamboats Aleck Scott , Chancellor , Keystone State , Belle Memphis , James Montgomery , and Rob Roy . Occupation of Paducah by Ulysses S . Grant on September 6 , 1861 . Battle at Columbus - Belmont on September 4 , 1861 Confederate Maj . Gen . Leonidas Polk had about 5,000 troops guarding Columbus . When he learned of Grant โ s movements , he assumed that Columbus was their primary objective and that Belmont was a feint . He ordered 2,700 under Brig . Gen . Gideon J . Pillow to Belmont , retaining the rest to defend Columbus . When he reached Belmont , Grant found Camp Johnston , a small Confederate observation post , supported by an artillery battery . He decided to attack to keep the Confederates from reinforcing Maj . Gen . Sterling Price or Brig . Gen . M . Jeff Thompson of the Missouri State Guard , and to protect Oglesby โ s exposed left flank . The Battle at Columbus - Belmont was the first combat test in the American Civil War for Brig . Gen . Ulysses S . Grant , the future Union Army general in chief and eventual U.S. president ; Grant โ s troops in this battle were the โ nucleus โ of the Union Army of the Tennessee . At 8 : 30 a.m. on November 7 , Grant โ s force disembarked at Hunter โ s Farm , 3 miles north of Belmont , out of range of the six Confederate batteries at Columbus . ( The Columbus heavy water batteries featured 10 - inch Columbiads and 11 - inch howitzers and one gun , the โ Lady Polk โ , was the largest in the Confederacy , a 128 - pounder Whitworth rifle . ) He marched his men south on the single road , clearing the obstructions of fallen timber that formed an abatis . A mile away from Belmont , they formed a battle line in a corn field . The line consisted of the 22nd Illinois Infantry , 7th Iowa Infantry , 31st Illinois Infantry , 30th Illinois Infantry , and 27th Illinois Infantry , intermixed with a company of cavalry . The Confederate battle line , on a low ridge northwest of Belmont , from north to south , was made up of the 12th Tennessee Infantry , 13th Arkansas Infantry , 22nd Tennessee Infantry , 21st Tennessee Infantry , and 13th Tennessee Infantry . Grant โ s attack drove in the Confederate skirmish line and for the remainder of the morning , both armies , consisting of green recruits , advanced and fell back repeatedly . By 2 p.m. , the fighting became one - sided as Pillow โ s line began to collapse , withdrawing toward Camp Johnston . The orderly retreat began to panic when four Federal field pieces opened up on the retreating soldiers . A volley from the 31st Illinois killed dozens of Confederates , and the Union soldiers attacked from three sides and surged into the camp . The Grant โ s inexperienced soldiers became , in his own words , โ demoralized from their victory . โ Brig . Gen . McClernand walked to the center of the camp , which now flew the Stars and Stripes , and asked for three cheers . A bizarre , carnival - like atmosphere prevailed upon the troops , carried away by the joy of their victory , having captured several hundred prisoners and the camp . To regain control of his men , who were plundering and partying , Grant ordered the camp set on fire . In the confusion Map of the Battle at Columbus - Belmont Ulysses S . Grant 1822 - 1885 ; 18th President of the United States The captain of the boat that had just pushed out recognized me and ordered the engineer not to start the engine : he then had a plank run out for me . My horse seemed to take in the situation . He put his fore feet over the bank without hesitation or urging , and , with his hind feet well under him , slid down the bank and trotted on board . The Federals began to march back to their transports , taking with them two captured guns and 106 prisoners . They were suddenly attacked by Confederate reinforcements brought over on the transports Prince and Charm who threatened to cut off Grant โ s retreat . These were the men of the 15th Tennessee Infantry , the 11th Louisiana Infantry , and mixed infantry under Pillow and Col . Benjamin F . Cheatham As the Union men turned to face the Confederate reinforcements , the cannon โ Lady Polk โ fired into their ranks from Columbus and numerous other Confederate guns opened fire . The Union gunboats exchanged in a battle with the Confederate batteries . Grant said , โ Well , we must cut our way out as we cut our way in . โ . When Grant reached the landing , he learned that one Union regiment was unaccounted for . Grant galloped back to look for it , but found only Confederate soldiers moving in his direction . He spun his horse and raced for the river , but saw that the riverboat captains had already ordered the mooring lines cast off . Grant wrote in his memoirs : While the riverboats were returning , the missing Illinois regiment was seen marching upriver and the men were taken aboard . The Confederates viewed Belmont as a Southern victory , since Grant had staged a demonstration and been driven off . Union losses were 607 ( 120 dead , 383 wounded , and 104 captured or missing ) . Confederate casualties were slightly higher at 641 ( 105 killed , 419 wounded , 106 captured , and 11 missing ) . A noteworthy result of the battle was the combat and large unit command experience Grant gained . It also gave President Abraham Lincoln , who was desperate for his armies to attack the Confederates somewhere , a positive impression of Unknown Union Officer The labor has been immense โ their troops can not be well drilled โ their time must have been chiefly spent in hard work , with the axe and spade With Kentucky โ s neutrality broken , both sides quickly moved to establish advantageous positions in the Commonwealth . Confederate forces under Albert Sidney Johnston formed a line in the southern regions of Kentucky and the northern regions of Tennessee , stretching from Columbus in the west to Cumberland Gap in the east . Johnston dispatched Simon B . Buckner to fortify the middle of the line in Bowling Green . Buckner arrived on September 18 , 1861 and immediately began intensive drill sessions and constructing elaborate defenses in anticipation of a Union strike . So extensive were the fortifications Note Today , the site at Columbus ( Kentucky ) is a state park and open - air museum . Flooding in 1925 exposed the remains of the giant chain , which are now on display . Among others , the remains of โ Lady Polk , โ a giant experimental cannon named for Polk โ s wife , can also be seen . This 10 foot long gun could fire shells 10 feet ( 3.0 m ) long and weighing 15,000 pounds . The park was designated on February 10 , 1934 and has a size of 156 acres . Columbus - Belmont State Park Map of Western Theater September 1861 - April 1862 Confederate Government The elected government of Kentucky being decidedly Union , a group of Southern sympathizers began formulating a plan to create a Confederate shadow government for the Commonwealth . Following a preliminary meeting on October 29 , 1861 , delegates from 68 of Kentucky โ s counties met at the Clark House in Russellville , Kentucky on November 18 . The convention passed an ordinance of secession , adopted a new state seal , and elected Scott County native George W . Johnson as governor . Bowling Green , now occupied by General Johnston himself , was designated as the state capital , though the delegates provided that the government could meet anywhere deemed appropriate by the provisional legislative council and governor . Being unable to flesh out a complete constitution and system of laws , the delegates voted that โ the Constitution and laws of Kentucky , not inconsistent with the acts of this Convention , and the establishment of this Government , and the laws which may be enacted by the Governor and Council , shall be the laws of this state . โ Though it existed throughout the war , Kentucky โ s provisional government had very little effect on the events in the Commonwealth or in the war . When General Johnston abandoned Bowling Green in early 1862 , the government โ s officers traveled with his army , and Governor Johnson was killed in active duty at the Battle of Shiloh . Continuing to travel with the Army of Tennessee , the government re - entered Kentucky during Braxton Bragg โ s campaign in the Commonwealth , but was driven out permanently following the Battle of Perryville . From that time forward , the government existed primarily on paper , and dissolved following the war . The Battle of Paducah In 1861 and 1862 , Kentucky saw a number of battles and skirmishes . By the end of 1862 , after the battle of Perryville , Confederate forces retreated from the state . But the destruction caused by war was not over for Kentuckians . From December 1862 to January 1865 , famous Confederate raids by John Hunt Morgan Nathan Bedford Forrest William Quantrill , and โ Sue โ Mundy destroyed Union supply depots , bridges , county courthouses , and people โ s personal property . Kentucky also experienced a period of lawlessness in 1864 , when โ Bushwhackers โ โ small bands of unruly soldiers from both sides โ looted small towns and robbed local farmers of produce and livestock . On July 26 , 1863 , Morgan surrendered to federal forces . He was taken to a penitentiary in Columbus , Ohio , but escaped with several of his officers in November 1863 . Despite the threat of a court martial from Braxton Bragg for disobeying orders , the Confederacy so desperately needed leaders that Morgan was restored to his command position . But following Morgan โ s capture in the summer of 1863 , there were no major engagements fought in Kentucky until spring of 1864 . Portions of three infantry regiments from Bragg โ s army had requested to reorganize as a mounted infantry under Abraham Buford , but the Confederacy had no horses to supply them . In response , Nathan Bedford Forrest , who had been operating in Mississippi , began to organize a raid on western Tennessee and Kentucky . Besides obtaining mounts for the mounted - infantry - to - be , Forrest intended to disrupt Union On March 25 , 1864 , Forrest commenced his attack , setting out from Columbus , Mississippi , into West Tennessee and Kentucky with a force of fewer than 3,000 men . The Union garrison of 650 men under the command of Colonel Stephen G . Hicks retired to Fort Anderson in the town โ s west end . Forrest met Colonel Stephen G . Hicks at Fort Anderson . A message was sent to Hicks asking for unconditional surrender . The letter reads as follows : The Battle of Paducah at Fort Anderson N.B. Forrest Major - General , Commanding Confederate Troops Colonel : Having a force amply sufficient to carry your works and reduce the place , and in order to avoid the unnecessary effusion of blood , I demand the surrender of the fort and troops , with all public property . If you surrender , you shall be treated as a prisoner of war ; but if I have to storm your works , you may expect no quarter . Hicks had support from two gunboats on the Ohio River and while refusing to surrender , shelled the area with his artillery . Knowing that Forrest โ s main objectives were to obtain supplies and horses , Colonel Hicks answered with a letter of his own , which reads : S.G. Hicks Colonel , Commanding Union Post Sir : I have this moment received yours of this instant , in which you demand the unconditional surrender of the forces under my command . I can answer that I have been placed here by the Government to defend this post , and in this , as well as all other orders from my superiors , I feel it to be my duty as an honorable officer to obey . I must , therefore , respectfully decline surrendering as you may require . Fort Anderson at Paducah ; Painting by Alfred E . Matthews For the most part , Hicks was right in his assumption that Forrest would not assault the fort , but Confederate Colonel Albert P . Thompson , a native of the area , did briefly attempt to capture it before being killed with 24 men from his unit . Forrest held the city for ten hours , destroying the Union headquarters , as well as the buildings housing the quartermaster and commissary . Forrest also captured a total of 200 horses and mules before withdrawing to Mayfield . Following the raid , Forrest granted furlough to the Kentuckians under his Although this was a Confederate victory , other than the destruction of supplies and capture of animals , no lasting results occurred . It did , however , warn the Federals that Forrest , or someone like him , could strike anywhere at any time . Unionist newspapers bragged after the raid that Union forces had hidden the best horses in the area and that Forrest had only captured horses stolen from private citizens . Furious , Forrest ordered Buford back into Kentucky . Buford โ s men arrived on April 14 , forced Hicks back into the fort , and captured an additional 140 horses in the foundry , exactly where the newspaper reports had placed them . They then rejoined Forrest in Tennessee . The raid was not only successful in terms of gaining additional mounts , but provided a diversion for Forrest โ Kentucky and the 13th Amendment When President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in January of 1863 , all slaves in the Confederacy were legally set free . Because Kentucky remained in the Union , slaves in this state were not free . Lincoln declared in 1864 that any slave who enlisted in the Union army would be given freedom as well as the freedom of his family . A flood of Kentucky slaves rushed to Camp Nelson to enlist . Soon , the camp in southcentral Kentucky became a recruitment center for โ coloured โ troops , as well as a refugee center for their The Civil War ended in 1865 , and Kentucky slaves were legally freed when the 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was ratified soon afterward . But Confederate sentiment was still high in Kentucky after the war . The Kentucky General Assembly failed to ratify either the 13th Amendment ; the 14th , which gave equal protection under the law to blacks ; or the 15th , which gave African Americans the right to vote . Kentucky โ s first constitution , written in 1792 , protected the right to own slaves . Slave labor was used to grow hemp in the 1800s , and tobacco in the central and western regions of the state . By 1850 , 28 percent of white families owned slaves , but the average slaveholder owned five slaves or fewer . At the start of the Civil War , Lincoln had hoped to encourage border states like Kentucky to take the initiative in abolishing slavery themselves , according to historians Lowell Harrison and James Klotter . Lincoln tried several times to get Kentucky to adopt a plan of compensated emancipation . It would work like this : If a state committed itself to a definite date to end slavery , then Lincoln would recommend to Congress that owners receive $ 400 for each slave . The plan did n โ t work . When Lincoln decided that ending slavery would help win the war , he declared slaves free only in those areas controlled by the Confederacy . Therefore , his Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 did not affect Kentucky . Even so , the proclamation attracted protest in the Bluegrass . Kentucky Gov . James F . Robinson denounced the Emancipation Proclamation in his message to the legislature in early January 1863 . The legislature also denounced the proclamation โ as unwise , unconstitutional and void , โ and there was talk in the state of recalling Kentucky troops from the Union army . Some even advocated that Kentucky secede from the Union . Such talk embarrassed those who supported emancipation . Samuel Lusk wrote to a friend on Feb . 4 , 1863 : โ If the president is resolved on going to hell and destroying the best government on earth , let him place himself under the control of Kentucky politicians and he will soon have accomplished his purpose . โ Meanwhile , the feds were doing little to win the hearts and minds of many Kentuckians . Federal troops resorted to abrasive measures that were illegal or unconstitutional to maintain military control of the state . This included military interference with elections , such as prohibiting โ disloyal โ persons from voting . Among those opposing federal policies was Brutus Clay , a U.S. congressman from Bourbon County , who was steadfastly against abolition and the enlistment of slaves into the Union army . ( Brutus was brother to Cassius Marcellus Clay , who argued for emancipation and published an anti - slavery newspaper , โ The Lexington True American โ . ) During the debate on the 13th Amendment , Brutus Clay said : โ If you take away from a man that which he considers to be justly his own , you make him desperate , and he will retaliate upon you . You can never by oppression make a man obey willingly the laws of his country . Act justly toward him , let him see he has a government which will protect him and he will love that government . But oppress and rob him , and he will despise and hate you . โ Without Clay โ s vote , the 13th Amendment passed the U.S. House of Representatives in January 1865 . The next month , the Kentucky legislature voted to reject it : 56 - 18 in the House and 23 - 10 in the Senate . Nevertheless , the 13th Amendment was ratified by the necessary three - fourths majority of states and was officially adopted in December 1865 . Kentucky , meanwhile , came to identify itself more with the Confederacy after the war than it did during the war . Between 1867 and 1894 , Kentucky elected six governors who had been Confederates or Confederate sympathizers . Kentucky did not move to ratify the 13th Amendment until state Rep . Mae Street Kidd , D - Louisville , one of three blacks then in the Kentucky legislature , filed a resolution to do so in 1976 . The resolution passed the Kentucky House by a 77 - 0 vote , and it passed the Kentucky Senate by a voice vote on March 18 , 1976 . The vote was symbolic โ Kentucky โ s ratification was n โ t needed for the amendment to be added to the U.S. Constitution โ but it was a symbol with power .

http://kylehammons.com/blog/archives/2190 | 2010 05.24 Where to Photograph in Grand Teton National Park Category : HDR National Parks North America Photography Wyoming / Tag : landscape photography national parks nature photography photography tips Wyoming Add Comment Among the most photographed national parks in our country โ s system , Grand Teton National Park has been immortalized in the work of countless photographers over the years , most notably Ansel Adams whose photo of the Tetons and Snake River is instantly recognizable to so many of us . It can be a humbling experience to stand in the same location as so many greats that have come before you and attempt to do justice to one of the most photographed landscapes in the world . Yet , a trip to photograph the Tetons simply is n โ Often called the โ most photographed barn in America โ , the Mormon Row Barn is actually a pair of barns built by T.A. Moulton in an area called Antelope Flats in the southern portion of the park . The north and south barns can be found off a gravel road called Mormon Row which lies between Antelope Flats Road and Gros Ventre Road , a few miles east of Moose Junction . As you travel through this area , it is hard to imagine a more beautiful location than the land on which these barns lie . There are Geographically , the spine of the Tetons runs north - south , making for dynamic shots both at sunrise and sunset at most of the popular locations . The Mormon Row Barns are most often seen photographed at sunrise when the sun is directly hitting the side of the barns , as well as lighting the majestic mountain range that serves as their backdrop . Yet , some of the best shots I have seen of the Mormon Row barns are at late afternoon and sunset when storms and dramatic skies can turn this over - photographed scene into something I like to get a round of photos of the barns as the sun peaks over the mountains and turns the world alight , then head north to what could be easily be one of the most well - known locations in all of the national parks - the Snake River Overlook . Whether Ansel Adams โ famous photograph or the work of so many others , this location has been repeatedly photographed over the years for a reason - it โ s gorgeous . With the Snake River winding into the foreground and the Tetons towering over the valley The Snake River overlook is located just off Hwy 191 between Moose Junction and Moran Junction . Its proximity to the highway makes it a popular stop , though most people only linger a few minutes . The overlook is rather large with several different viewpoints from which to gaze or photograph . You can usually find a few photographers here , both at sunrise and sunset , as either time can make for a beautiful photograph . During our three - day stay at Grand Teton National Park , I spent two sunsets and one sunrise at the Snake A few miles south of the Snake River Overlook , just past the Teton Point Overlook , is the turn - off for Schwabacher Landing . At the end of this short gravel road lies some of the best sunrise photo opportunities to be found at Grand Teton National Park . Schwabacher Landing is a series of channels and beaver dams which perfectly reflect the Tetons on a calm , still morning . Whereas other locations only enjoy โ magic lighting โ for a short window of time , Schwabacher Landing presents fantastic photo opportunities as late as 9am . Without going backcountry , it is hard to imagine a better place than Schwabacher Landing to photograph the Tetons at sunrise . I usually spend the first few hours of the morning just walking along the creeks and dams searching for the photographic opportunities that are constantly appearing . On a still morning , there are mirror reflections of the Tetons nearly everywhere you look and the hardest decision is often which direction to point your camera . I will admit I am not a fan of crowds and unfortunately you will find them at all of the locations I have listed , as these are quite simply the most popular locations for photographing the Tetons . Yet , one advantage to Schwabacher Landing is that while the parking lot may be packed with cars , there is plenty of space to explore and you wo n โ t be competing for tripod space with other photographers . Wander along the trails , creeks , and beaver dams to discover new and wonderful perspectives , but be aware If you would like to know more about Schwabacher Landing , I would encourage you to check out my corresponding entry entitled โ Photographing the Tetons at Sunrise โ , found in the Wyoming section of my blog . There you can see more photos and read about my first experience photographing the Tetons at sunrise from this beautiful location . Another popular spot for photographing Grand Teton National Park is Owbow Bend , located just inside the Moran Junction entrance to the park . This turn - off can easily be identified by the line of cars you are likely to find here , both at sunrise and sunset . Owbow Bend is a looping meander of the Snake River which often holds a beautiful shadow of the Teton Range , in particular Mt Moran . Its location makes it easily accessible from several campgrounds , contributing to its popularity , but also saving you a half - hour of I have mentioned just a few of the most popular locations for photographing Grand Teton National Park . These are easily accessible for anybody and require little planning and just a bit of gas . But there are photo opportunities galore on the numerous trails within the park where you can find views of the Grand Teton and surrounding peaks that most photographers will never see . I hope this article provides some useful information for photographing Grand Teton National Park and I wish you the best of luck in finding all this extraordinary park has to offer . | [

http://kypipe.com/HydrantFlowCalculation/ | Hydrant Flow Calculations Fireflow and Hydrant Analysis determines the hydrant flow at a specified residual pressure and creates printable fire flow graphs and hydrant reports . Pipe2018 : KYPipe allows fire flow calculations to be made at hydrants , junctions or both . Therefore it is not necessary to include hydrants in your model to calculate fire flows since junctions can be used instead . However , incorporating hydrants allows the user to plot hydrant test data and maintain accurate and detailed hydrant records in addition to calculating fire flows . Hydrant icons can be emphasized using NFPA hydrant color codes . While other hydraulic modeling software adds pipes to account for hydrants , KYPipe does not . The KYPipe engine can output data for a variety of situations , including : Determining the pumped fire flow that will maintain a specified pressure throughout the distribution system . Calculating the free flow through a hydrant nozzle into atmosphere . Calculating the fire flow through a hose and nozzle connected to a hydrant . The results are presented in a printable fire flow graph or in a detailed hydrant report . Hydrant Flow - Pressure Data Hydrant Information Maintained by the Model The hydrant flow results will appear next to each hydrant for which an analysis was conducted . Hydrant Test Graph Example AWWA and NFPA guidelines are used to compute the curve for available pressure as a function of flowrate using the hydrant test data as shown below . Default Hydrant and Hose Constant / Suction Pressure at Fire Pump Calculation As stated , conventional fire flow analysis determines the flow that maintains the distribution system pressure at a user - specified amount , typically 20 psi . However , KYPipe also allows the user the option to determine the maximum flow which will maintain a user - specified suction pressure at the fire pump . This is necessary because in some large - capacity systems , conventional fire flow analysis may overestimate the possible fire flow , predicting fire flows too large to be delivered to the pumper at an acceptable suction pressure ( e.g. , > 0 psi ) When values are entered in the fields highlighted in the above image , a second calculation is performed to determine the maximum flow that maintains an acceptable suction pressure at the fire pump . When this figure is lower than the amount determined by the conventional approach , then the conventional approach has overestimated the potential fire flow and the secondary calculation is more realistic . Hydrant Monitor Element A Hydrant Monitor Element allows the monitor ( nozzle ) to operate while connecting a hose to one of the other connections . The Hydrant / Monitor may be analyzed with up to three valves open simultaneously . The K values for the Hydrant / Monitor may be set at each individual hydrant using the Node Information Data box . The open valves may by selected in the Device Data box as shown : | [

Deepak Bhanot 31 Comments Interferences in Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy Interference is a phenomena that leads to changes in intensity of the analyte signal in spectroscopy . Interferences in atomic absorption spectroscopy fall into two basic categories , namely , non - spectral and spectral . Non - spectral interferences affect the formation of analyte items and spectral interferences result in higher light absorption due to presence of absorbing species other than the analyte element . Interference in Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy Non - spectral interferences Matrix interference When a sample is more viscous or has different surface tension than the standard it can result in differences in sample uptake rate due to changes in nebulization efficiency . Such interferences are minimized by matching as closely as possible the matrix composition of standard and sample Chemical interference If a sample contains a species which forms a thermally stable compound with the analyte that is not completely decomposed by the energy available in the flame then chemical interference exists . Refractory elements such as Ti , W , Zr , Mo and Al may combine with oxygen to form thermally stable oxides . Analysis of such elements can be carried out at higher flame temperatures using nitrous oxide โ acetylene flame instead of air - acetylene to provide higher dissociation energy . Alternately an excess of another element or compound can be added e.g. Ca in presence of Ionization interference Ionization interference is more common in hot flames . The dissociation process does not stop at formation of ground state atoms . Excess energy of the flame can lead to excitation of ground state atoms to ionic state by loss of electrons thereby resulting in depletion of ground state atoms . In cooler flames such interference is encountered with easily ionized elements such as alkali metals and alkaline earths . Ionisation interference is eliminated by adding an excess of an element which is easily ionized thereby creating a large number of free electrons in the flame and suppressing ionization of Spectral Interferences Spectral interferences are caused by presence of another atomic absorption line or a molecular absorbance band close to the spectral line of element of interest . Most common spectral interferences are due to molecular emissions from oxides of other elements in the sample . The main cause of background absorption is presence of undissociated molecules of matrix that have broad band absorption spectra and tiny solid particles , unvaporized solvent droplets or molecular species in the flame which may scatter light over a wide wavelength region . When this type of non - specific adsorption overlaps the atomic absorption of the analyte , background absorption occurs . The problem is overcome by measuring and subtracting the background absorption from the total measured absorption to determine the true atomic absorption . Interferences are corrected using background correction techniques which are discussed in the next module .

Comments Roan Birgen says : January 28 , 2014 at 1 : 41 pm great site to polish and get deeper into the analytical field . keep it up Reply Dr . Deepak Bhanot says : January 29 , 2014 at 3 : 21 pm Thanks Roan for your encouragement Reply al - amin May 9 , 2014 at 9 : 42 pm I want to know about physical interference & refractory compound May 10 , 2014 at 10 : 01 am Hello Al - Amin , Interferences in AAS analysis are basically spectroscopic and non - spectroscopic . I am not very clear on what you are refering to when you say physical interferences . Kindly elaborate so that I may comment . Refractory compounds , particularly oxides are those that do not decompose at normal air - acetylene flame temperatures and require higher temperatures to decompose and form free atoms . These temperatures are achieved by using nitrous oxide - acetylene flames . Prithvi December 30 , 2014 at 8 : 52 am In chemical interference , we add one substance in excess amount to reduce interference of other . There is example of lanthanum with phosphates . Can lanthanum affect the result ? December 30 , 2014 at 9 : 25 am Dear Prithvi , Lanthanum as an element will not interfere as the hollow cathode lamp is specific to the element to be determined . Lin Weng April 18 , 2015 at 9 : 53 am Hi Dr Deepak Bhanot , I would like to ask why the absorbance of Antimony in a nickel concentrated matrix decreases when the analysis is repeated ? Is this a normal sign ? Dr . Saurabh Arora February 20 , 2016 at 1 : 53 pm Hi , most probably your solution is not stable and there might be precipitation . You need to establish the solution stability and add a stabilizer if needed . Nandini August 8 , 2015 at 10 : 50 am Is maximum sample uptake rate always be used in AAS ? August 12 , 2015 at 10 : 08 am Hi Nandini , It is not advisable to use maximum uptake rate always because the gain in sensitivity can be off - set by several other factors such as extinguishing of flame due to excessive solvent introduction or simultaneous increase in background interference and parallel increase in interference due to interfering elements introduced along with the sample . It is for this reason that variable intake provisions are provided on all instruments . steve kawandama January 5 , 2016 at 8 : 40 am Which could be the easiest way to assign species to an infra red spectrum ? January 5 , 2016 at 11 : 00 am The easiest way is to overlay the sample spectrum on the standard compound spectrum and match the degree of closeness of ovelap of peaks . It may not be a 100 % overlay but you will come to know about your sample . Most systems come with a figure on correlation in the software which gives you a degree of match of the two spectra seid May 5 , 2016 at 1 : 52 pm How can the interference of AA measurements by EA signals be removed ? May 9 , 2016 at 11 : 50 am Please clarify what are EA signals Martin kituyi July 7 , 2016 at 1 : 30 pm Hi Dr , how can u prevent refractory compound in AAS ? . July 18 , 2016 at 11 : 32 am Refractory elements form stable oxides which do not decompose under normal operation using air - acetylene flames and will not be a matter of concern as you are looking for the element whose hollow cathode lamp has been selected . Under higher temperature operation you can remove interfering elements which have potential of contributing to interference by extraction and refining techniques specific to such elements prior to analysis . Angela September 18 , 2016 at 8 : 23 pm What about interference effect of phosphate on calcium ? And then with releasing agents such at EDTA and strontium ? September 21 , 2016 at 11 : 13 am You are referring to chemical interferences where an element or complexing agent combines and forms a stable compound which reduces the absorption due to the element of interest . Such interference can be reduced by adding another element or chemical which forms preferentially a thermally stable compound with the interferent . An example is Ca in presence of phosphate . Phosphate produces stable calcium phosphate which reduces the absorption signal due to Ca . Addition of excess of Lanthanum forms thermally lanthanum phosphate and the effect of phosphate interference on Ca gets eliminated . Shinji Sudoyo March 14 , 2017 at 8 : 46 am Hi Dr . Deepak Bhanot , i just happened to have a problem with a flame AAS . During analysis of any elements which have a maximum wavelength below 300nm , i get this random sudden drop of absorbance . So out of nowhere 0.0005 - 0.0010 Abs could get to - 0.0100 and then goes back up to 0.0005 . It happens quite often during analysis and it prolonged my analysis time because i have to re - aspirate and re - read all the samples again . What could be the problems ? thank you March 14 , 2017 at 10 : 01 am My advise would be to check performance of your UV lamp source and see if it is nearing end of its useful rated life . It is easy if it has a built in energy meter . In case it has outlived its lifespan best would be to replace it . If problem persists get in touch with your service engineer . Barath Vasudevan November 23 , 2017 at 12 : 52 pm Hi Dr . Deepak Bhanot , I would like to ask how to prevent the ash formation in AAS . Thank you November 23 , 2017 at 3 : 39 pm Ash formation is not a commonly encountered problem . However , as a preventive measure keep your burner slots clean using the cleaning wire . please do let me know your specific analysis where you faced such a problem . Richa Shrivastava December 6 , 2017 at 12 : 20 pm In an ILC conducted on herbal samples for lead in different labs my brand new AAS is giving higher results than other labs . What could be the possible reason ? December 8 , 2017 at 10 : 50 am There could be more than one reason . Hope you calibrated the AAS with a standard from a reliable source and also used calibrated volumetric glassware . Use of high purity reagents is also recommended . lastly hope you made use of Electrodeless discharge lamp as light source instead of a hollow cathode lamp . irah April 10 , 2018 at 8 : 32 pm Does lanthanum oxide help to reduce the interference ? I do n โ t understand the ionization effect of lanthanum oxide . April 16 , 2018 at 11 : 13 am Lanthanum compounds are easily ionizable and therefore help suppress ionization of other compounds with low ionization potentials . Thus there is no loss of the analyte compound ions due to ionization and their atoms in ground state are available for absorption of radiation from the source .

Article I , Section 5 of the Hawai โ i Constitution provides that โ no person shall be denied the enjoyment of civil rights or be discriminated against in the exercise thereof because of race , religion , sex or ancestry . โ The legislature gave meaning to this commitment by creating the Hawai โ i Civil Rights Commission ( HCRC ) , through enactment of Act 219 in 1988 and Acts 386 and 387 in 1989 . The HCRC was organized in 1990 and officially opened its doors in January 1991 . For twelve years the HCRC has enforced state laws prohibiting discrimination in employment ( H.R.S. Chapter 378 , Part I ) , housing ( H.R.S. Chapter 515 ) ; public accommodations ( H.R.S. Chapter 489 ) , and access to state and state - funded services ( H.R.S. 368 - 1.5 ) . The HCRC receives , investigates , conciliates , and adjudicates complaints of discrimination . The HCRC has five ( 5 ) uncompensated volunteer Commissioners . They are appointed by the Governor , By law the Commission may hold hearings and make inquiries , as it deems necessary , and has the authority to administer oaths and affirmations , conduct depositions , compel the attendance of parties and witnesses and the production of documents by the issuance of subpoenas , examine parties and witnesses under oath , require answers to interrogatories , and delegate these powers to any member of the commission or any person appointed by the commission for the performance of its functions . Furthermore the law authorizes the Commission to enforce the State โ s anti - discrimination statutes or any of its orders , conciliation agreements , or predetermination settlements by commencing civil action in circuit court ; by issuing โ right to sue โ authority to complainants ; or by ordering appropriate legal and equitable relief or affirmative action when violations are found . The law also authorizes the Commission to appoint an executive director , deputy executive director , hearings examiners , investigators and other necessary support personnel as well as , an attorney to represent the commission in litigation .

http://laborbrain.com/is-travel-time-work-time/ | posted on January 5 , 2014 by Kalen Fraser Is Travel Time Work Time ? A common problem found in Wage and Hour audits is the failure to pay for compensable travel and / or drive time . Significant overtime liability can result from employers not compensating employees for this time . It โ s understandable that employers are confused about travel and drive time ; there are many factors at play and courts are still grappling with some of the finer points of when travel time must be paid . Today we โ ll go over some general categories of travel and drive time that employers deal with frequently . Commuting : Normal Commuting : Regular home to work travel is not work time . If an employee chooses to live two hours away from his employer โ s place of business and he drives four hours round trip every day to get to and from work his employer is not responsible for paying for any of that time . Commuting in a Company Vehicle : The Employee Commuting Flexibility Act of 1996 says that commuting in a company owned vehicle does not make regular home to work commuting time at the beginning and end of the workday compensable as long as the use of the employer โ s vehicle is within the normal commuting area for the employer โ s business or establishment and the use of the vehicle is be subject to an agreement between the employer and the employee . Carpooling in a Company Vehicle : The U.S. Department of Labor : Wage and Hour Division states in the Field Operation Handbook that if an employee elects to transport other employees in a company vehicle and that employee is driving the company vehicle for his own convenience the time does not have to be paid . It also says that if the employer requires an employee to report to a central shop , yard , pick up place , etc . to pick up other employees and transport them to the work site than the time is hours worked for the driver . Check out these summaries of recent court decisions on commuting to get a more nuanced view of the factors that courts are considering when determining whether or not commuting time must be paid : New York Firefighters Commute Time Oil Field Workers Commute Time Cable Installers Commute Time Commuting in California Driving During the Work Day Any time that an employee spends driving during their work day is considered compensable time . For example , an electrician reports to the shop at 8am for a safety meeting , receives job instructions and spends the rest of the day driving to different jobs . He returns to the shop at 5pm to drop off materials , speak with his supervisor , and turn in his time sheet . All of the time he spent driving during the day between 8am and 5pm must be paid . Multiple Work Sites : If an employer has multiple worksites and employees are expected to work at all or many sites throughout their employment ( common in the construction industry ) , then the employer can require the employees to report directly to the job site and whether the job site is 15 minutes away from the employee โ s home or an hour away the time is not compensable . Set Work Site If an employee always works at the same worksite and one day is asked to report to a different worksite then the employer must compensate the employee for the additional commute time . Travel Away from Home Community : If an employee is required to spend the night away from his home , the employer must pay for any travel time during the regular work day of the employee . However , if the employee is a passenger on transportation like an airplane , bus , train , etc . that time is not compensable when it is outside of his regular work hours . Common Problems : Eating meals while driving : Many employees who spend their workday in a vehicle driving from one job to the next will eat their meals while traveling to the next job site . Since this travel time is work time the employer may not deduct a half hour lunch if the employee eats while driving . Pre - shift and Post - shift work : Once an employee begins a principal work activity his paid time has begun . Court cases are still defining what exactly is a principal work activity but the DOL has said that things like transporting work tools , loading materials , taking instruction from supervisors , morning meetings , reporting to a central work location , transporting other employees for the employer โ s benefit , are activities that begin an employee โ s day . This means that any travel after any of these activities have taken place will be considered work time as well as any travel Not Counting Drive Time as Regular Hours : If an employer pays for hours spent driving or traveling those hours must be included when determining how many overtime hours were worked in the week . Many employers try to pay for travel time but consider it a separate category like โ Other time โ , or โ Non - productive Time โ , or โ Misc . Time โ and only pay overtime when the employer exceeds 40 hours of โ regular work โ time per week . For the purposes of overtime there are no special categories of work time that are n โ t included We hope you found this week โ s tip helpful and informative . Please pass it along to anyone you think might be at risk as a result not paying for travel time . Follow us on facebook to get the next Tip of the Week on your newsfeed !

http://laissez-faire.ch/en/articles/laissez-faire-the-political-philosophy-of-civilization/ | Dear friends , Today I ' d like to make a few points that concern not so much what we believe in , but how we think about it , how we present it , and how we fight for it . It starts from a simple question : Introduction : Why do n ' t you like the State ? People often ask me , why are you against the State , what has the State done to you , personally ? Is it so terrible not be allowed to trade legally in drugs , or to pay a little money in taxes ? Well , yes , it is terrible , those are crimes committed against me . But there ' s much more than that . The question is actually threefold . First of all , yeah , why do n ' t we like the state ? What is the gist of our opposition to the State ? Why does it matter so much ? There ' s a lot of things I do n ' t like , but I do n ' t make paramount political causes worth fighting for out of them . Is it just a political opinion , a preference , or is it more than that ? And finally , there are many ways to answer this question . Which one is the best , and how best to sell the answer in order to be convincing , in order to win ? The following presentation is my answer to these three questions . 1 . Laissez - faire versus the State : Civilization or Dark Ages If government controls could achieve nothing but paralysis , starvation , and collapse in a pre - industrial age , what happens when one imposes controls on a highly industrialized economy ? Which is easier for bureaucrats to regulate : the operation of hand looms and hand forges โ or the operation of steel mills , aircraft plants , and electronics concerns ? Who is more likely to work under coercion : a horde of brutalized men doing unskilled manual labor โ or the incalculable number of individual men of creative genius required to build and to maintain an industrial Ayn Rand , โ Let Us Alone โ , Chapter 13 of Capitalism : The Unknown Ideal Perhaps in time the so - called Dark Ages will be thought of as including our own . Georg Christoph Lichtenberg Civilization has been a continuous struggle of the individual or of groups of individuals against the State and even against " society , " that is , against the majority subdued and hypnotized by the State and State worship . Emma Goldman 1 . 1 . Dark Ages classes vs laissez - faire equality A : I am your King ! " W : " I did n ' t vote for you . " A : " You do n ' t vote for Kings . " W : " Well , how ' d you become King , then ? " A : " The Lady of the Lake , . . . [ angels sing ] . . .her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite , held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water , signifying by divine providence that I , Arthur , was to carry Excalibur . [ singing stops ] THAT is why I ' m your king ! " D : " Listen , strange women , lyin ' in ponds , distributin ' swords is no basis for a system of government . SUPREME executive power derives from a mandate of the masses , not from some farcical aquatic ceremony . " A : " Shut up ! " D : " You ca n ' t expect to wield supreme executive power , just ' cause some watery tart threw a sword at you ! " A : " Shut up ! " Monty Python and the Holy Grail Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry . Thomas Jefferson On many levels , we still live in the Dark Ages . My first case in point is the fact that we still have classes like in the Middle Ages . We have a nobility , like United Nations officials who pay no taxes . We have diplomats with diplomatic immunity . In general , politicians are above the law , forming a class of lords , of รbermenschen . Ordinary laws do not apply to them We have a clerical class , the church , who is still paid through taxes in many countries . In Switzerland , this very country , 24 out of the 26 federated States still have State religions . We also have a military class : the army , policemen , and " security professionals " , who are the only ones allowed to carry weapons , as if they were somehow more qualified ( in Switzerland , any civilian can get , and many do , training in firearms as good as or even better as them ) . And of course , we still have kings and queens , monarchies Europe , 2013 . Monarchies in red . Nice crown . Is it magical ? Have you ever wondered , how does one become a king ? Through what magic does one family get the right to rule over other people ? My favorite story is that of the ancestor of the Grimaldi family that rules over Monaco up to this day . Their ancestor , in the 13th century , disguised himself as a monk to gain entry into Monaco ' s castle , then killed everybody , captured The Rock and proclaimed himself prince . That ' s it . And now look at his proud family : Makes a lot of sense , does n ' t it ? But if you think even deeper : the presidents of democratic States have no more legitimacy than him . Just because some people put your name on a piece of paper and put the paper inside a box does not give you any more rights over other human beings than does disguising yourself as a monk and committing a few murders So we have people ruling over other people either in monarchies or in democracies , without any rational justification , except either feudal tradition , or democratic tradition . The rules of the latter , by the way , are as much relative and due to historical accident as those of the former More generally , most of the stuff done by the State are crimes , and would rightly be considered as such if committed by ordinary citizens . In contrast , laissez - faire relies on one very simple idea : that everyone has the same rights , and that therefore , if my neighbor can not take my money , I can not take his either , be it trough direct theft or through asking other thugs or the State to do it for me . 1 . 2 . Dark Ages feudalism vs laissez - faire freedom My second point is that the statist model is that of feudalism , of kings , lords , and serfs attached to the land . Moving , traveling , is thus frowned upon . Terms such as " emigrants " and " immigrants " have been introduced , and , depending on the historical context , either of them have been criminalized . Today ' s fashion appears to be opposition to immigrants while not minding emigrants . Mind you , in today ' s Switzerland , the feudal model is still so legally actual that all males , conscripted in the army ( another example of barbaric slavery ) , have to ask the Army ' s permission to move " abroad " ( whatever that means ) for extended periods of time . Yes , in today ' s Switzerland , not East Berlin ! The idea of serfs attached to the land is so strong that the State is completely unadapted to people traveling . States are at a loss in the current information and globalized society : Are National Hierarchies Becoming Obsolete ? Where I live , where I work , where I get married , where I vote and pay taxes used to be in one same circle , the land to which you were attached as a serf . Now that it ' s all disconnected , States can not find any consistent set of rules to apply . They simply try to grab money wherever they can , taxing either residency or citizenship , income or spending . There is no logic , no rationality beyond that of power , the dark ages principle of rule by brute force . Being asked stupid , irrelevant questions , checked for owning magic talismans called passports , searched without reasonable suspicion just because you cross a border , are trademarks of the State ' s tradition of irrational power . Some economists ( Bruno S . Frey , FOCJ - Functional Overlapping Competing Jurisdictions ) have tried proposing complex solutions to address this , but they appear as inferior constructivists utopias from the start , fake solutions to a problem that ' s been solved long ago , by the free market . The laissez - faire model , in contrast , is that of a free human being . The free human being is not a serf attached to land . He lives wherever he pays his rent or owns property . He votes in whatever company or association he has voluntarily entered and in which he enjoys voting rights . He works wherever people are willing to purchase his labor services . He pays no taxes . He uses no public goods , since there is no such thing anyway . The free human being pays for services he chooses to purchase . Period . Crossing borders , traveling , shopping , working and living all around the world , all belong to the realm of the market , of laissez - faire , of modern civilization , they belong to our world of freedom that States despise so much and try to destroy . 1 . 3 . Dark Ages superstitions vs laissez - faire rationality A man who chooses between drinking a glass of milk and a glass of a solution of potassium cyanide does not choose between two beverages ; he chooses between life and death . A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two social systems ; it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society . Socialism is not an alternative to capitalism ; it is an alternative to any system under which men can live as human beings . Ludwig von Mises , Human Action There are still superstitions , witch hunts . More Witches Have Been Executed Since World War II Than in Centuries Past . We have black magic talismans like identification papers , passports , licenses . Some areas of research necessary for progress are banned , like GMOs , cloning , etc , without any valid reason , except so - called " ethical committees " made usually of religious people without any competence on the matter We have dark ages costumes and rituals ( think of judges and lawyers ) , ceremonies like citizenship , army , etc . Black magic acts , like pretending to be creating wealth through printing money . And of course , we have the ideas that suffering is good , the labor theory of value , etc . In contrast , laissez - faire is based on solid economic theory . The rule of reason , of rationality . The rules that people apply for everything scientific - then forget in political matters . 1 . 4 . Dark Ages barbarism vs laissez - faire civilization The State represents violence in a concentrated and organized form . Gandhi Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy . The savage โ s whole existence is public , ruled by the laws of his tribe . Civilization is the process of setting man free from men . Ayn Rand If libertarianism is so great , why has n ' t any country in the world tried it ? The answer is that every country has tried it and every country practices it to one extent or another . This is the reason we experience progress , enjoy wealth , and have access to things like longer lives , food to eat , cities , smartphones , financial markets , useful websites , shoes , clothes , and the like . It ' s why we can mostly say what we want , fall in love and act on that Jeffrey Tucker Violence is the tool of the state . Knowledge and the mind are the tools of free people . Llewellyn H . Rockwell Jr . , The Libertarian Paradox I propose in the following discussion to call one โ s own labor , and the equivalent exchange of one โ s own labor for the labor of others , the โ economic means โ for the satisfaction of needs , while the unrequited appropriation of the labor of others will be called the โ political means โ . Franz Oppenheimer , The State There are only three ways to acquire wealth in a free society . The inheritance model occurs when someone gives you wealth . The economic model occurs when you trade a skill , a talent , an asset , knowledge , sweat , energy or creativity to a willing buyer . And the mafia model occurs when a guy with a gun says : " Give me your money or else . " Judge Napolitano In his 1860 article , Panarchy , P . E . de Puydt suggested that someday , people would cease to consider violence as a legitimate way to impose political opinions , just like they do n ' t consider violence anymore as a legitimate way to impose religious opinions . This is our hope : someday , in civilized countries , governmental oppression will be remembered as a nightmare of ancient barbarian times , something unthinkable to civilized people , just like Wars of Religion now seem a barbarous thing of the past to inhabitants of most civilized countries Franรงois - Renรฉ Rideau , Government is the Rule of Black Magic - On Human Sacrifices and Other Modern Superstitions And finally , consistent with all the rest , States rely on unchecked violence , committing violence against people who have done no harm to anyone , merely to enforce arbitrary laws , or their power . States are therefore violence , chaos . States are anomy : a society with no fixed , rational set of rules , only arbitrary , historical contexts of power , laws that change depending on who you are , where you are . Civilization , on the other hand , in addition to what we ' ve seen above , requires control of violence to make the rest possible . States lead to Dark Ages decivilization , chaos , superstitions . The State drives people towards war , intolerance and hatred , through collectivization of risks and decisions . The State is a war of all against all , a negative sum game of grabbing other people ' s belongings . Laissez - faire is the exact opposite . The market drives people towards peace and tolerance , through cooperation and trade . Laissez - faire is order , violence bound by rules . Laissez - faire is modernity and civilization . Laissez - faire is the rejection of rule by brute force , by conquest , which has no place in our century . This leads us to the one and only relevant political question : does violence have to be curtailed by a universal and rational law , or is it a means for some to satisfy their wishes through the State ? The simple difference between rights and preferences : the fact that I want bread , a telephone or national defense , does n ' t give me the right to force someone to provide it for me . Civilization , thus , is synonymous with libertarianism , with laissez - faire : it ' s a society where people respect each other ' s rights . Laissez - faire means one thing : the principle of non - aggression . Which means that no one , whatever his social status , his gender , his race or his power of any kind , has the right to use aggressive violence against other people . That ' s it . 2 . Why it matters so much Why does all of this matter so much ? Do you see the pattern , and the huge difference there is between the Market and the State ? It ' s not a matter of choosing the most efficient way of achieving a given goal , it ' s a matter of recognizing good from evil , creation from destruction , equality from authority . States are violence , destruction , poverty , death , chaos , anomy . States lead to the war of all against all . States make people think of the world as a zero - sum game , thus hating and fighting each other instead of loving each other and collaborating . Luckily , I dare say , we live in a world in which what is right is also what works . The universe does make sense : theft and crime are not the most efficient means of making a successful living . Thus , communism doesnt ' work , and it ' s not a " noble idea that unfortunately failed " : it ' s a rotten idea that failed because it could only have failed in a rational and just universe . Therefore , the distinction between Anarchy and State , laissez - faire and intervention , Civilization We ' re all aware of that , and other speakers will certainly give us further examples . I ' m sure in the next few days you ' re going to hear lots of examples of how the government is destroying our lives while the market is making them better . I ' m thus gonna address a few less obvious yet nonetheless dramatic consequences of the existence of the Dark Ages institution of the State . I ' m going to stick to a few points which I think are essential yet not emphasized enough . 2 . 1 . Growth If the State had been abolished a century ago , we ' d all have robots and summer homes in the Asteroid belt . Samuel Edward Konkin III Y yo les pregunto . ยฟ Quรฉ habrรญa pasado con la civilizaciรณn si el prospero mundo liberal de la economรญa de mercado del Imperio Romano , de comienzos del Imperio Romano , no se hubiera desmoronado por culpa del socialismo ? A lo mejor podrรญamos haber llegado a la Luna en el aรฑo 800 รณ 900 . Jesรบs Huerta de Soto , La Caรญda del Imperio Romano Anarchy is all around us . Without it , our world would fall apart . All progress is due to it . All order extends from it . All blessed things that rise above the state of nature are owed to it . The human race thrives only because of the lack of control , not because of it . I โ m saying that we need ever more absence of control to make the world a more beautiful place . It is a paradox that we must forever explain . Jeffrey Tucker Tout acte juste est crรฉateur , tout acte injuste est pure destruction En effet : โ Toute rรฉaffectation volontaire de son patrimoine par un propriรฉtaire lรฉgitime lui donne davantage de valeur , ne serait - ce qu ' ร ses yeux ; de mรชme , dans tout รฉchange volontaire , oรน par dรฉfinition personne ne vole personne , chacun donne plus de valeur ร ce qu ' il reรงoit qu ' ร ce qu ' il donne en รฉchange : ces deux types d ' actes sont donc par dรฉfinition productifs , crรฉateurs de valeur .

It can not be preserved under the ideology of government omnipotence . Ludwig von Mises Dark Ages ideas are bound to keep us , or lead us back to , Dark Ages poverty . In this day and age , we could and should all be extremely wealthy . Dark Ages economic theories are keeping us poorer than we have to be . Why and how ? There are many factors , all related to the distinction between Dark Ages States and laissez - faire market civilization . Half the people of the economy are in the parasitic , clerical and State officials class , not doing any productive work in the best case , and doing destructive work in the worst case . Given that , it ' s a miracle the economy is working at all . Take taxes as an example . Thousands of people working on checking tax codes that could and should be simpler , while the taxes themselves , of course , are never " neutral " and always harm the economy and the people . Even deeper , it ' s a completely different paradigm . The economy is a positive sum game , but once you start thinking about it as a zero sum game , it becomes a negative sum game . If you think of the pie as a pie to allocate ( zero sum ) , instead of as a pie to bake ( positive sum ) , it becomes a war of all against all in order to grab the pie ( negative sum ) . And in the end , people are going to spend the same amount of cake to get the pie that the piece they ' ll eventually get : Law of total destruction , aka Bitur Camember Countries like Greece , today , have a negative growth rate of 6 % . That means that in 75 years Greek income is going to be divided by one hundred The real GDP of France is declining as well Belgium is implementing measures to make rising wages illegal ( ! ) . The more complex the economy is , the worse the economic calculation problem becomes . The market is the modern way of having a functioning economy . Laissez - faire is what allows economic progress , and therefore civilization . What is civilization ? For me , civilization , understood as economic growth , which by definition is what got us out of the status of animals fighting for survival , requires three essential things : The division of labor ; A practical means of exchange : money ; The accumulation of capital . All of these are hindered by the State through fiat money and taxes : Division of labor : Hindered by taxes . It becomes more interesting to do some untaxed work for myself than to work more , be taxed at a heavy marginal tax rate , and use the remaining money to pay someone . Thus pushing us back towards barter economics , and autarky , and regressing to days before specialization , and thus much lower efficiency . Money as a stable means of exchange : inflation undermines money ' s stability , while taxes on monetary transactions undermine its usefulness . Accumulation of capital : without savings , there is no investment . Without investment , there is no growth . It ' s really that simple . If I have an idea , say a new invention , I ' ll need money to develop it , pay designers and workers . I ' ll need to borrow money , or have some money of my own saved . You can not innovate or develop new technologies in a barter economy , above a primitive level . The state encourages consumption , not savings . Savings are taxed multiple times , as something But why is growth so important ? Indeed , we actually have people against it . Growth means simply that we have more money than we did last year . What does that mean ? Well , yes , it means better purchasing power . Consumerism . Buying stuff you do n ' t need to impress people you do n ' t like . But it means a lot more than that . It means more money to buy medication , health care . More money to spend on causes we like , or to invest . It means more technological progress , since we need to be able to afford the new technologies . Thus , growth means better lives , it means longer lives , it means less suffering , pain , poverty . Yet growth , again , is only possible through the free market . The State is making us unimaginably poorer . Through Dark Ages classes of people not doing any actual work , through banning and taxing exchanges , through jailing people who could work and save , through sheer destruction of goods . Imagine how big the economic screw up has to be for us to have both huge amounts of unemployment while there is still , of course , an infinite amount of work to be done ( marble palaces for everyone , food for everyone , inventing and producing medications against all diseases , etc ) , and to actually have negative growth rates today , despite all the technological progress that the market still manages to bring . What has been happening for the past century is basically two forces : On one side growth , civilization , accumulation of capital , technological progress , the marvels of capitalism . An ever - growing pie of wealth . On the other , the increasing parasitism of the State , not content to steal the same relative part which has become bigger in absolute terms , but stealing an ever - increasing percentage of the pie . The problem is , this is not some economic model where growth is exogenous . The State ' s stealing more and more , and in addition to laying out thousands of new laws and regulations that do n ' t even make it richer , but only make us all poorer , is finally reaching the point where its avidity is killing the economy . The little growth we have now is actually the result of a huge growth of the market , minus a huge amount of theft and senseless destruction perpetrated by the State . But the forces of progress ca n ' t compensate for the amount of destruction anymore . Thus , wealth is decreasing again , something that would make absolutely no sense in a free economy . We have today countries with negative growth rates . In 2013 , with all the technological progress . Imagine the amount of theft and utter destruction that had to happen for this to be even possible . Remember too that differences in growth rates get compounded , which over the long run makes huge differences . Let ' s check the maths . If you need a brief introduction to the power of compound interest , remember this episode of Futurama , where Fry gets frozen and checks his bank account after 1000 years , to discover his $ .93 have become $ 4.3 billions . Here ' s a table of Fry ' s bank account : Fry ' s account ( $ ) after 10 years after 100 years 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 0.93 1.16 8.61 79.64 737.02 6,820.40 63,116.26 584,080.83 5,405,111.09 50,019,148.25 462,879,513.66 4,283,508,449.71 Apply this to growth rates , by going to our Growth Rates calculator on Confoederatio . ch And keep in mind the effect of State size on growth rates , and the rise in State size . Empirical studies have shown that 10 more percentage points of State are enough to make a difference of 1 percentage point of growth rate So let ' s take this simple example : two countries which have a State size different by 10 percentage points , which equals to 1 percentage points growth less . So if we take one country with a growth rate of 1 % , and another with a growth rate of 2 % , what will be the difference over a 1000 years ? 1.01 1000 = 20 959 1.02 1000 = 398 264 651 difference : 18 964 times . So , while the first country will be 20 thousand times wealthier , the second country shall be 400 million times wealthier , that is , 20 thousand times wealthier than the first . So , do growth rates matter ? Yes , they do , a lot . This is not the kind of difference as between having a 50 inch screen TV instead of a 49 inch screen TV . This is the kind of difference like between starving in the Dark Ages and having smart phones : wealth and technology we ca n ' t even grasp right now . It ' s a difference between abject poverty and incredible wealth for millions of people . 2 . 2 . Survival Formally , I call it Objectivism , but informally I call it a philosophy for living on earth . Ayn Rand , Philosophy : Who needs it You can deny the ethics of what makes survival on earth possible only for so long . Ideas , of which the logical conclusion is death , applied inconsistently , entail a slow death . It ' s the case of all the constructivist ideologies , be it socialism , feminism , ecologism or fascism . As we have seen , the State is destruction , the Market is creation . But there ' s more : while the market saves lives , the State kills . In the 20th , the Century of the State as the statist Mussolini rightly called it , states murdered 260 million people . Freedom is a life or death issue . Current policies of countries like the USA , waging wars against their own citizens under the pretense of the war of drugs for instance , raiding homes , killing and imprisoning innocent people , is but an example . This is a life or death matter . We ' re on the side of life . Beyond that , as we have seen the State curtails growth . Poverty of course leads to death , see starving countries like North Korea . This is where statism leads . And if we think further in the future , the long term survival of the human species requires space colonization . Space colonization is expensive , and thus will require the amount of wealth and technology only a free country can produce in the long term . Should We Be Recycling Paper or Building Battlestar Galactica ? 2 . 3 . Transhumanism Freedom , Immortality and the Stars ! L . Neil Smith Extropians are the transhumanist libertarians who vow to develop the technologies that will actually make it all happen . Franรงois - Renรฉ Rideau As Kim Robinson poignantly emphasized this fact whenever a character died in his Mars trilogy , โ And there went another one who could have lived 1000 years . โ Robert Vroman , Help ! The State is Trying To Kill Me Immortality may not be a reality yet , but rapidly evolving technology is making it more realistic , said Ray Kurzweil , the director of engineering at Google Top Google Engineer : Human Immortality Is Within Our Grasp โ I felt some deep disgust โ as would any ancient โ at the efforts of โ singularity โ thinkers ( such as Ray Kurzweil ) who believe in humans โ potential to live forever . Note that if I had to find the anti - me , the person with diametrically opposite ideas and lifestyle on the planet , it would be that Ray Kurzweil fellow . It is not just neomania . While I propose removing offensive elements from people โ s diets ( and lives ) , he works by adding , popping close to two hundred Nassim Taleb , Antifragile , quoted by Gennady Stolyarov II End of aging within reach , experts say Life extension and immortality Life is sacred to libertarians : we believe in the non - aggression principle , we ' re humanists , not constructivists . Humans are not expendable . Population growth is not a curse but a blessing . Mankind is not destroying the planet , mankind is more important than the planet . Unlike statists , we are individualists . We do not think in terms of groups , but of individuals . Each individual is thus a valuable life that should be preserved . We do n ' t care about the survival of species . We care about Of course , life extension is completely against the interests of States . Their Madoff - based social security systems were not designed for it . Their collectivist ideologies do n ' t care about it . Their ethics are anti - life . Life extension is , again , a laissez - faire value , something impossible under statism , and something that matters , if anything . Again , like for growth , picking sides for or against immortality should be pretty easy . 3 . What do you do about it ? My personal life is a postscript to my novels ; it consists of the sentence : ' And I mean it . ' Ayn Rand I ' ve tried to show the fundamental opposition of the State and the Dark Ages it entails and Laissez - faire and the Civilization it allows , and the paramount importance of this unavoidable choice . From this , several conclusions can be drawn , which make obvious the strategy for furthering laissez - faire - and thus civilization and mankind . 3 . 1 . Reframe If you do n ' t like what is being said , change the conversation . Don Draper , Mad Men This is the most important point . My whole speech so far has been one big reframe . It ' s not so much about our opinion on things , it ' s about how we view things . What I ' m suggesting is a better frame of thinking of freedom versus the State . Let me give you a few examples and then dig deeper into what they imply . โ You libertarians are the types that would allow fornication in public parks ! โ - What do you mean , public parks ? โ " Congressman Paul , 50 % of Americans pay no income tax . What are your thoughts ? " - We ' re halfway there ! - A vote for Bart is a vote for Anarchy ! For those of you unfamiliar with the Simpsons , in this episode , Bart is accused through a poster that " a vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy " . Instead of accepting the frame that anarchy is bad , and defending himself of being an anarchist , of apologizing , Bart ' s supporters start themselves sticking the exact same poster : " a vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy " . 3 . 1 . 1 . Know you ' re right . Anarchists did not try to carry out genocide against the Armenians in Turkey ; they did not deliberately starve millions of Ukrainians ; they did not create a system of death camps to kill Jews , gypsies , and Slavs in Europe ; they did not fire - bomb scores of large German and Japanese cities and drop nuclear bombs on two of them ; they did not carry out a โ Great Leap Forward โ that killed scores of millions of Chinese ; they did not attempt to kill everybody with any appreciable education in Cambodia ; they did In debates between anarchists and statists , the burden of proof clearly should rest on those who place their trust in the state . Anarchy โ s mayhem is wholly conjectural ; the state โ s mayhem is undeniably , factually horrendous . Robert Higgs Being a libertarian , being in favor of the free market , is not a political label like any other . The debate is not whether to be a conservative , a socialist or a libertarian . The debate is whether or not you are in favor of human progress , civilization , and human enhancement . Today , this should be obvious to everybody . The collapse of Greece . The outright theft of savings in Cyprus , etc . States are Dark Ages institutions of violence , barbarism , superstition , black magic and inquisition . Libertarianism is civilization . Thus , even if there were but one libertarian against the whole wide world of statists , they ' re the ones who should be defending themselves , and apologizing . As de Jasay has shown in his essay Liberalism , loose or strict , the presumption of freedom is a logical necessity : We do n ' t have to justify our right to be free , they should strive to justify their right to point a gun at us . Frame : we are normal , they are retarded . We are the forces of good and progress . It ' s not about defending the rich , or a more optimal system . It ' s not about apologizing for our rights . Like I ' ve shown above , it ' s about civilization . We must reclaim the moral high ground on issues like bank secrecy , tax competition . Never apologize for what you know to be right . 3 . 1 . 2 . Stick to the essentials Do n ' t answer complex questions ( e.g. beating your wife ) , or who should the State control , who should the State take money from . Remember that some questions should not be asked , there is no right answer . Move the conversation from irrelevant policy questions to the only one political question on which all the others rely : in which cases is the use of force justified ? Do n ' t get distracted into debates about the color of the walls of the bathrooms of public buildings which should n ' t even exist in the first place . It ' s not about consequences , it ' s not about what you like , it ' s not about what ' s nice . It ' s about whether or not a given case justifies the use of violence . That ' s it , that ' s all politics is about . 3 . 1 . 3 . Be positive . When people are free , they create things no one had previously imagined possible . This is the reason for human progress . It โ s about the struggle to make life ever more wonderful , to improve health and diet , to lengthen lives , to overcome the state of nature , alleviate suffering and create a beautiful and flourishing world . Insist on the beauty of market , spontaneous order , harmony of human interactions . I mean , it is something beautiful , this huge spontaneous coordination that is necessary for a global civilization . Civilization is so magnificent that it thrives despite the State . 3 . 1 . 4 . Drop the labels We should n ' t even call ourselves libertarians : we ' re simply people who have a basic understanding of how the world operates , and what are the basic requirements for growth and civilization . People do n ' t call themselves physicists just because they do n ' t try to ignore the laws of physics . Yet what the States have been doing is exactly this : ignoring the laws of economics . If you drop an apple , it will fall to the ground . If you tax an economy , destroy its currency , What is libertarianism , liberalism , laissez - faire , market anarchy , etc ? Many different names for one simple idea . My definition of laissez - faire is very simple : it means recognizing the simple fact that all human beings have the same rights , and that therefore , no one can claim to be " king " or " president " or " senator " or " policeman " and have any rights over me that I would not have over him . That ' s it . It means that the right to use violence , as a universal right , makes sense only as the right to defend oneself against aggression , that is , I have Therefore , our goal is not to sell the label , our goal is to convince people that this basic intuition that they all have is the right one . That ' s it . We should not need labels to describe what is normal , the abolition of slavery and theft . We are people who do n ' t think we have the right to use aggressive violence . Should we need a label for that ? We are non - criminals . Do we need labels for people who * do n ' t * go about raping , or killing , or stealing from everyone ? All we want is the abolition of politics . We are people who understand the above . I do n ' t need a label because I accept the realities of science , because I prefer life to death , progress to decay , civilization to barbarism . Our ideas are obvious truths , they are not a lifestyle to which to " convert " people . We are not an oppressed minority group . Our ideas are the ideas that make life on earth possible . Our ideas are the truths that everyone already accepts in most of their lives , unless they ' re in an asylum 3 . 1 . 5 . Set your reality In the name of the best within you , do not sacrifice the world to those who are its worst . In the name of the values that keep you alive , do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly , the cowardly , the mindless in those who have never achieved his title . Do not lose your knowledge that man โ s proper estate is an upright posture , an intransigent mind , and a step that travels unlimited roads . Do not let your fire go out , spark by irreplaceable spark , But to win it requires your total dedication and a total break with the world of your past , with the doctrine that man is a sacrificial animal who exists for the pleasure of others . Fight for the value of your person . Fight for the virtue of your pride . Fight for the essence of that which is man : for his sovereign rational mind . Fight with the radiant certainty and the absolute rectitude of knowing that yours is the Morality of Life and that yours is the battle for any achievement , any value , any Ayn Rand , Atlas Shrugged Remember , whoever has the strongest frame wins . This is our reality , and if it is strong enough it will win over theirs . Never accept a frame you do n ' t like . We should never be defending ourselves based on our opponent ' s premises . Instead , we must impose our frame and ridicule our adversaries for clinging to Dark Ages superstitions . When accused of criticizing the State , agree and amplify . You can never be critical enough of the state . We must have a strong frame . We must not suggest that maybe a change could be better . We have to laugh at Dark Ages priests for enforcing their superstitions . We must make people realize that ' s its not a matter of political " sensibility " , it ' s a matter of grasping reality . We all love freedom , but being free is about a lot more than freedom . It ' s about what the human species can accomplish in the universe , instead of wasting resources on Dark Ages rituals . This is our world : it belongs to us , the owners of property , the producers , the creators . We know the laws of reality , physics , economics , science in general . States ignore them , they are out of touch with reality . 3 . 2 . Act The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion . Albert Camus 3 . 2 . 1 . Be free You have to start living the life of the person you want to be . Bobbie Barrett , Mad Men But it was my integrity that was important . Is that so selfish ? It sells for so little , but it ' s all we have left in this place . It is the very last inch of us . But within that inch we are free . V for Vendetta Unjust laws exist ; shall we be content to obey them , or shall we endeavor to amend them , and obey them until we have succeeded , or shall we transgress them at once ? Henry David Thoreau The greatest lie of all is n ' t that man should n ' t be free but rather it ' s that you are n ' t free . Buzz , you ' re born into this world with your own mind . It is n ' t controlled by anyone but you . Scott Carpenter , Buzzard and I I am free , no matter what rules surround me . If I find them tolerable , I tolerate them ; if I find them too obnoxious , I break them . I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do . Robert A . Heinlein , The Moon is a Harsh Mistress When you smoked that joint last night on New Year โ s Eve , did you care about the fact that it is , supposedly , illegal ? You knew perfectly well that there exists some bunch of legalese in some legal code you โ ve never seen that claims , if you can believe it , to give certain men with guns the โ legitimate โ authority to prevent you from ingesting certain natural compounds , and to physically restrain and do violence to you in pursuance of that end . Of course , being the reasonable person that you presumably are , you knew all that to be a bunch of nonsense and saw right through that claim of legitimacy . Those paragraphs of legal garbage no more bound you last night than do , well , the dead fingers of the dead lawyers who wrote them . Thus , last night you only took the sensible precaution of avoiding those particular men with guns who irrationally worship those dead fingers , just as you exercised caution about walking home through a bad neighborhood and opted for a cab instead Arto Bendiken , Set Your Code Free The State relies on violence as an ultimate threat , but it seldom has to use it . It relies on our fear and obedience . Remember that bad rules are made to be broken . States ' laws do n ' t apply to you . Remember , that most of the walls are within your head . As long as you can get away with it , act according to your conscience , not according to States ' orders . Remember that you ' re only affected by what you let affect you . Ignore the State as much as you can . Before you can save others you must save yourself first . 3 . 2 . 2 . Mean it But I do n ' t think of you . Howard Roark , in Ayn Rand , The Fountainhead The distinctive feature of libertarians is that they coolly and uncompromisingly apply the general moral law to people acting in their roles as members of the State apparatus . Libertarians make no exceptions . For centuries , the State ( or more strictly , individuals acting in their roles as โ members of the government โ ) has cloaked its criminal activity in high - sounding rhetoric . For centuries the State has committed mass murder and called it โ war โ ; then ennobled the mass slaughter that โ war โ involves . For centuries the State has enslaved Murray Rothbard Now , this is the hard part to grasp . You have to actually take this seriously . Stop thinking about the State as some group of legitimate leaders who are wrong on a few points . Take this seriously . Consider the state as a criminal band , and act accordingly . Is it immoral to lie to a criminal band ? Did n ' t think so . Is it immoral to try to get what you can out of it while contributing the least ? Did n ' t think so . The illusion of politics is using violence in order to fight against civilization . Never forget it . Modern civilization , humanity , will not survive if we lose . Which brings me to the essential : the goal is not to convince statists that we are right and they are wrong . The goal is to win . The goal is for statists to be powerless , not to acknowledge their powerlessness . We are not the student who comes questioning the master about some doubt he has about the rightness of his system . We are free people who do n ' t give a damn about the looters . Our goal is not to convince criminals , including statists , that they are wrong . Our goal is to have a society where all criminals , including statists , are rightfully defended against and made to pay for their crimes . 3 . 2 . 3 . Make ideas available First they ignore you , then they laugh at you , then they fight you , then you win . Gandhi The role of libertarian think tanks is making ideas available , for people who seek the truth , who seek answers . To make ideas available for when people start doubting the system , they can find a consistent theory . So that they know that what they understand about one part of the problem is relevant to all the parts of the problem . Everyone understands State evil at some level , but they do n ' t connect it , they do n ' t get that all State intervention is always wrong . In a thousand years , our ideas will be either obvious and generally acknowledged without any debate , or mankind will have degenerated back to the Stone Age . In either case , no one will be debating politics . There probably wo n ' t be a point where those guys acknowledge that we were right . There ' s simply gonna be a point where our ideas will become obvious . Gandhi ' s winning stage is not a point where the statists give in , acknowledge they were wrong , and congratulate you on your prescience . It ' s a point where jailing people for drug use becomes rightfully considered as barbaric and unthinkable as torturing people for heresy . Which is why you must remember that the goal is not to convince the looters to stop looting . The goal is to make people realize they are looters , or not even that : to make people act accordingly , and treat looters as looters , even without realizing it . The goal is not to convince them that we have won , the goal is to win . 3 . 2 . 4 . Deny them the sanction of the victim " I want , " said Rearden gravely , " to let the nature of this procedure appear exactly for what it is . If you need my help to disguise it โ I will not help you . " " But we are giving you a chance to defend yourself โ and it is you who are rejecting it . " " I will not help you to pretend that I have a chance . I will not help you to preserve an appearance of righteousness where rights are not recognized . I will not help you to preserve an appearance of rationality by entering a debate in which a gun is the final argument . I will not help you to pretend that you are administering justice . " " But the law compels you to volunteer a defense ! " There was laughter at the back of the courtroom . " That is the flaw in your theory , gentlemen , " said Rearden gravely , " and I will not help you out of it . If you choose to deal with men by means of compulsion , do so . But you will discover that you need the voluntary co - operation of your victims , in many more ways than you can see at present . And your victims should discover that it is their own volition โ which you can not force โ that makes you possible . I choose to be consistent and I will Hank Rearden , in Ayn Rand , Atlas Shrugged Ignore the State as much as you can . Never forget what the State is and act accordingly : you do n ' t have to tell them the truth , you do n ' t have to tell them anything you do n ' t have to , you do n ' t have to do what they expect you to do , you do n ' t have to do what they think you should do , unless they actually force you to . Do n ' t do anything voluntarily that is n ' t truly voluntary Submit to its violence but do n ' t help it pretend it ' s not violence 3 . 2 . 5 . Be an entrepreneur of liberty We ' re here to preserve democracy โ not to practice it . Crimson Tide This is the kind of contradiction that affects lesser , contradictory , contextual , nihilistic ideologies - not laissez - faire . Therefore , our view is the opposite : We ' re here to strengthen the Market , by practicing it : Every single transaction that takes place outside the nexus of state control is a victory for those individuals taking part in the transaction . So there are thousands of victories here each week and each one makes a difference , strengthens the agora , and weakens the state . Dread Pirate Roberts , founder of Silk Road If this country is worth saving , it ' s worth saving at a profit . H . L . Hunt Today we have great libertarian entrepreneurs that have used new technologies to expand the freedom of the market against the power of the State : Bitcoin 3D printed firearms Silk Road etc . Conclusion : Reclaim your reality , reclaim your life The good news is that the growth of the States can not go on . Governments are crumbling , becoming ever more extreme in the violence and destruction they inflict . The bad news is there ' s a real possibility of reverting to even darker ages if left unchecked . It ' s up to us to get sure that the consistent path chosen is that of utter modernity , not that of utter darkness . We libertarians are the forces of light fighting against this darkness . It is not a trivial matter . We must have a strong frame . We must not suggest that maybe a change could be better . We have to laugh at Dark Age priests for enforcing their superstitions . We must make people realize that ' s its not a matter of political " sensibility " , it ' s a matter of grasping reality . We all love freedom , but being free is about a lot more than freedom . It ' s about what the human species can accomplish in the universe , instead of wasting resources on Dark Ages rituals Therefore : trust your libertarian intuition . Know that you are right , even if everyone around you is wrong . Live according to your principles . Do n ' t compromise . Apply libertarianism . Be an entrepreneur . We are right , we are civilization . Live accordingly . Do n ' t wait for permission to be free . Do n ' t ever let the looters and their laws ( Ayn Rand ) stop you . Live . Create . Invent . Prosper . Grow . This is our world : it belongs to us , the owners of property , the producers , the creators . We know the laws of reality , physics , economics , science in general . States ignore them , they are out of touch with reality . It ' s not a matter of opinion or lifestyle . I say it ' s about being denied unimaginable wealth , lifelong health , even immortality . Space travel . The long term survival and flourishing of the human species : You know , the little things . This is n ' t about a system being more optimal . This is the real issue , the real cosmic battle of good versus evil in which we are the avant - garde fighters . Laissez - faire , libertarianism , is not an ideology . It is an essential step on the path towards human progress , life extension and transhumanism . Thank you very much . | [

http://laivfclinic.com/ectopicpregnancy/ | Ectopic Pregnancy Ectopic pregnancy is defined as a pregnancy that occurs outside of the uterus . The most common site is in the fallopian tube , but sometimes it can occur in the ovary , the cervix or anywhere in the abdominal cavity . The incidence of ectopic pregnancy is 1 % of all pregnancies and for in vitro fertilization ( IVF ) cases it is estimated to be 1 - 3 % . Ectopic pregnancy is one of the most dangerous complications of pregnancy and the number one cause of death in the first trimester . If undetected , the ectopic What Causes Ectopic Pregnancy ? The fertilization of the egg takes place in the fallopian tube and the fertilized egg ( embryo ) then travels into the uterus by the peristaltic movements of the healthy fallopian tube , where it implants into the endometrial cavity 6 - 7 days after ovulation . The delay of the transfer of the embryo from the fallopian tube into the uterus can result in the embryo hatching and implanting into the wall of the fallopian tube . One of the most common predisposing factors is pelvic inflammatory disease ( PID ) caused by chlamydia or gonorrhea , resulting in Signs and symptoms of ectopic pregnancy : If a patient misses her period , the first test to be done is a pregnancy test . If the test is positive and there is abdominal pain or vaginal spotting / bleeding , ectopic pregnancy should be ruled out . Pain is relatively common in ectopic pregnancy and can be in the form of cramping ( similar to menstrual cramps ) or lower abdominal / pelvic pain . Bleeding can be in the form of heavy bleeding ( similar to a period or an early miscarriage ) or very light ( similar to the last few days of a Diagnosis of Ectopic Pregnancy : It โ s important to suspect the presence of an ectopic pregnancy in high risk patients such as women with a history of ectopic pregnancy , prior tubal surgery , pelvic adhesions , infertility , sexually transmitted or pelvic inflammatory diseases . In some cases , there is no prior history or risk factors involved but ectopic pregnancy is still observed . Ectopic pregnancy is generally diagnosed by serial measurements of the pregnancy hormone called beta hCG and a pelvic vaginal ultrasound . Beta hCG hormone levels double every 2 - 3 days in the first 6 - 8 weeks Management of Ectopic Pregnancy : Ectopic pregnancy can be managed expectantly , medically by the use of Methotrexate or surgically through laparoscopy or open abdominal surgery called laparotomy . Expectant management includes careful monitoring of symptoms , measurement of beta hCG levels and ultrasound examinations . If there is no change in the clinical status and beta hCG levels are steadily decreasing , expectant management is appropriate . Approximately , 10 - 15 % of all ectopic pregnancies can be managed expectantly and the long term outcome for pregnancy ( risk of ectopic or intrauterine ) is similar to medical and surgical interventions .

If medical or expectant management are not options , surgical treatment using the minimally invasive surgical approach called laparoscopy becomes the best option . Most commonly , ectopic pregnancy is removed without the removal of the entire tube with a procedure called linear salpingostomy .

For those unable to attend you can find a video presentation HERE and additional infromation within the links below . New Jersey Aggregation Website Lake Como Residents Information Kit New Jersey American Water Bulk Purchase Customers : As you are aware , in February 2019 , New Jersey American Water made a temporary change to the water treatment technique we use in our Coastal North system that serves parts of Monmouth and Ocean County . On or around April 10 , 2019 , we will transition back to chloramine disinfection from the currently used free chlorine disinfection method . Please see the attached Press Release for details . When we make this switch , your water system operators should begin measuring a total chlorine residual , not just the free chlorine residual . With the switch back to chloramines , the free chlorine residual should be very low or close to non - detect . It is possible that your customers may have noticed some chlorine taste and odor in the water the past few months . With the transition back to chloramine disinfection , that taste and odor should subside . While the February transition from chloramines to free chlorine should not have impacted fish and other aquatic life , this transition back to chloramines may . As this may also affect procedures for patients on dialysis , we will reach out to the New Jersey Renal Council with the list of affected communities so they can notify the individual Renal / Dialysis centers and home dialysis patients .

http://lambethcollaborative.org.uk/lwn-alliance | Living Well Network Alliance Overview Lambeth Clinical Commissioning Group CCG and Lambeth Council are looking to join with a group of providers to create the Living Well Network Alliance LWN Alliance This will be a group of 78 providers and commissioners who together will lead coordinate and in large part deliver support and services for those experiencing mental health issues in Lambeth The LWN Alliance will be responsible for the large majority of the adult mental health services in Lambeth including the existing Living Well Network as well as all inpatient and community care The LWN Alliance will be supported by an alliance contract which Progress to Date Since the Collaborative was established in June 2010 commissioners service users carers and a wide range of mental health service providers in Lambeth have been working together to improve services for people experiencing mental health issues We have seen extremely encouraging progress during this time Informal collaborations between providers resulted in the formation of the Living Well Network whilst more formal collaborative approaches in the form of alliance contracting have also been tested out with the Integrated Personalised Support Alliance IPSA with both initiatives delivering impressive results Weve shown that by working together using an assetbased approach and harnessing a variety of expertise we can provide effective early support to a large number of people as well as significantly improve the lives of those with more complex conditions Drivers for Change Despite the good progress a number of significant challenges remain in Lambeth such as high demand for services lack of coordination between services and providers financial pressures healthcare inequalities and so on We know that in order to address these and improve the experience and outcomes for users of mental health services in Lambeth the system needs to continue to change and develop Weve deliberately taken an informal approach initially using pilots and smaller scale projects to test our ideas Our recent experience of formal collaboration through alliance contracting has been very positive We now want to build on the progress we have made so far and take up the opportunity to go further This is why we are looking to establish the LWN Alliance which will bring together a number of providers and commissioners to take a whole system view and plan and deliver services in Lambeth collectively Functions The LWN Alliance will have a number of responsibilities within the mental health system in Lambeth namely to Develop and expand early personalised and holistic support in Lambeth Coordinate care and drive integration across the system Manage demand through primary prevention and reducing dependency and crises Be the strategic leaders driving culture across all mental health services Develop organise and review the network of providers who make up the Living Well Network Procurement We will be running a procurement process in 2017 to identify the provider group to join with Lambeth Council and Lambeth CCG to form the LWN Alliance The alliance contract will be for a period of 710 years and is expected to go live in April 2018 More Information For more information on the LWN Alliance proposal please see read Our Plans for the Future booklet | [

http://lambgoat.com/blog/472/How-much-does-it-REALLY-cost-to-book-your-favorite-band-for-a-show | How much does it REALLY cost to book your favorite band for a show ? 6 / 13 / 2014 4 : 27 : 48 AM PT comments [ 61 ] Several weeks ago you might recall seeing a widely circulated list showing booking fees for a host of notable musicians . Unfortunately , those who published the list were quick to point out that the accuracy of its information was highly questionable . As such , Business Insider spent a little time collecting artist fees via CelebrityTalent . net , which they claim gets its fee listings directly from band management and is therefore fairly accurate . As such they put together a list of prices . Their list is annoying browse though , so we put together our own list , weeding out the non - musicians and adding a few artists they had excluded , and posted it for you below . Among the talent you will find is Bad Religion , Black Sabbath Bring Me The Horizon Faith No More , Judas Priest , Korn , Mastodon Megadeth , Metal Church , Primus , Queens of the Stone Age , Rage Against The Machine , Rob Zombie , Slayer , Soundgarden , Suicidal Tendencies , Tomahawk , Tool , and Volbeat Remember , these amounts are not what a band gets for playing a show amidst a tour , but rather what they might ask for to fly into some random city for a one - off performance . And though these may be more accurate than the first list , there are still some problems here ( Pink Floyd is n ' t playing , period . And Dave Grohl ca n ' t cost double the Foo Fighters ) . Whatever .

http://lambley.com.au/garden-notes/tomato-varietes-for-taste-vigour-and-disease-resistance | Until this season it had been years since I โ d had a good crop of tomatoes . It did n โ t matter whether I raised the seed myself or bought seedlings from my local garden centre the tomato plants would grow well until January when wilt would set in and one by one the tomato plants would succumb . Embarrassed ( I โ m supposed to know how to do these things ) I would pull all the plants out before I got a single ripe tomato . Tomatoes are susceptible to a great many pests and diseases ; fungal , viral , bacterial and nematodal to name a few . Amateur vegetable growers like me are n โ t the only people who have struggled to grow a decent crop of tomatoes during the last few years . Commercial growers the world over have had problems too . When I was a teenager I worked for my uncle who was a greenhouse tomato grower . The main variety he grew in the 1950s was called Money Maker and it filled several large glasshouses . One of my Money Maker is no longer grown by commercial producers as new pests and diseases made it unreliable . People like my uncle who rely on a good crop to make a living needed more disease resistant varieties . For a few decades researchers and seed houses forgot about the need for good flavour and concentrated on disease resistance and good looks . The same gene which gave tomatoes an overall red appearance also stifled the genes which gave tomatoes flavour . Traditional varieties such as Rouge de Marmande have a ring of green around the stem and this green shoulder was thought to inhibit sales . The tasteless varieties with the red gene filled supermarket shelves for decades Enough of the general public also wanted decent tasting tomatoes so the seed breeders went back to their labs and after a long painstaking process bred hybrid tomato strains with good disease resistance packages , good looks , good shelf life and very importantly good flavour . Whilst the flavour of the best of these new strains is n โ t quite as good as some of the old varieties , such as my favourites , Brandywine and Black Krim , if picked ripe they taste pretty good . As the older varieties wo n โ t grow in my This year I โ ve tried eight newly bred hybrid varieties . Five of these have gone the length of the season without showing signs of diseases . The other three to a greater or lesser extent were affected by one or other of the tomato wilts or viruses . Three of the disease resistant varieties have terrific flavour when allowed to ripen on the vine . All three have been very heavy croppers , so heavy that it has been nigh on impossible to use all the fruit . We hope to list these three varieties in our winter catalogue . The vegetable garden looks beautiful at this time of year especially the flower borders along the central axis . The nasturtiums which we normally grow were badly burnt by a very hot day in early December so we pulled them out and planted an edging of Salvia azurea instead . The ethereal blue of this lax growing sage contrasts beautifully with the orange , red and yellows of the Gaillardias , marigolds , Humming Bird trumpets and Hibiscus โ Fireball โ which are putting on a terrific show at the moment .

http://laminatefloorblog.com/how-to-clean-laminate-floors/ | How to Clean Laminate Floors โ Less Water is Best Cleaning laminate floors is a breeze with the right mop . This handy guide will teach you how to clean laminate floors effortlessly so you have more time to put your feet up ! To get started you will need 2 things : # 1 Microfiber Mop Best Microfiber Mop First make sure you have the right mop for the job . The best way to clean laminate floors is with a microfiber mop Microfiber mops glide across the floor picking up dirt and pet hair effortlessly . The swivel heads make it super fast to cover large areas , they get under tables and chairs easily , plus they require less water which is best because laminate flooring warps easily if exposed to water . # 2 Cleaning Solution You can either buy a manufacturer โ s cleaning solution or make one yourself ( scroll down to see my recipe for homemade laminate floor cleaner below ) . Either way you โ ll need a spray bottle to squirt the cleaning solution onto the mop pad . Quick Instructions dry mop with your microfiber mop OR use a vacuum on the wood floors setting to suck up big dust bunnies and hair tumbleweeds dampen the microfiber pad with warm water and spray on the cleaning solution of your choice mop the floor when the microfiber pad gets too dirty simply โ rinse , replace and continue when you โ re finished rinse the microfiber pad and put it in the washing machine on sanitary wash NOT Recommended Cleaning laminate floors with string mops or sponge mops will take you longer , leave streaky marks and because they use a lot of water will make it easier for moisture to sink into the cracks . If moisture gets into the laminate core board it can warp the laminate floors over time No matter what the manufacturer told you about their floor having an airtight lock system , unless you โ ve bought special waterproof laminate flooring with waxed edges I would never recommend using a string or sponge mop on laminate floor . The janitor in our office in Beijing used a string wet dripping mop and the flooring is warping after only two years of use . Scroll to the bottom of this page to read my do โ s and don โ ts for caring for laminate flooring , plus bonus tips for removing exotic stains or stubborn marks . 3 Best Ways to Start There โ s never one perfect way to do anything which is why I โ m going to leave it up to you to choose how you get the big dust bunnies and hair tumble weeds off the floor . Everyone has their own personal routine and if you โ re happier to do things a certain way then stick to it . Here are the 3 best ways to get rid of the big stuff before you begin mopping with water . I โ ve started with the fastest method and ended with the slowest . Run a vacuum over the floor . Make sure it is set on the wood floors setting * OR use the ( without water ) to get all the big clumps of hair and dust up . You can scrape the debris off and rinse before using the same microfiber pad for wet mopping OR dry dust mop with a Swiffer type sweeper Top Tip โ It is best to sweep or vacuum in the direction that the floor is laid in to collect all the dirt between the grooves instead of trapping it . * Do n โ t use a vacuum with a beater bar because it can scratch the laminate floor . If your laminate floor has a high gloss or piano surface I recommend you avoid vacuuming altogether just to be on the safe side and begin with # 2 or # 3 instead . This is because even if you set the vacuum to the wood floors setting it can still scratch the floor and scratches on high gloss or piano surface are very obvious in the light . Just Add Water If you โ ve already been using your to dry mop the laminate floor , you can either scrape off the debris into a bin , rinse and reattach or simply replace the microfiber pad with a spare one . Top Tip โ it โ s good to have a spare pad or two so you always have one to mop up emergency spillages with whilst others are cycling in the wash . prepare your home made cleaning solution in a spray bottle or just grab your branded one from the cupboard dampen the microfiber pad with warm water from the tap ( not too soggy ) and spray on the cleaning solution mop the floor โ a microfiber mop cuts through gunk with hardly any pushing down or scrubbing , so relax and let the mop do the work when the microfiber pad gets too dirty after one or two rooms โ rinse , reattach and continue . REMEMBER โ You do n โ t need to haul a bucket of warm water around with you . One microfiber pad can easily last for two rooms or more so you do n โ t need to rinse it out in the sink very often . There โ s no squeegeeing or high - duty wringing like with a string mop when you โ re finished rinse the microfiber pad in the sink and hang out to dry . After several uses ( and the pad appears to be quite discoloured ) put it in the washing machine on sanitary wash And that โ s it ! This method of cleaning laminate floors will cut your cleaning time in half , plus it is the safest way to wet mop laminate flooring to prevent serious damage from warping . If you are not convinced that microfiber mops are the best way to clean laminate floors see my article : 10 advantages of microfiber mops for cleaning laminate floors Homemade Laminate Floor Cleaner Here โ s an excellent recipe for home made laminate floor cleaner that works a treat , especially for cleaning high gloss laminate flooring leaving it completely streak free : 3 parts water to 1 part vinegar 1 squirt of liquid dish detergent put it all in a spray bottle and you โ re good to go ! Making your own homemade laminate floor cleaner will save you from ever needing to buy an expensive manufacturer โ s cleaner Do โ s and Don โ ts of Caring for Laminate Flooring Do not use mops like string mops or sponge mops that use a lot of water ( remember โ if water corrupts the core - board it will cause it to warp ! ) When wet mopping your floor , do not soak the microfiber mop pad just dampen it Blot up large spills with a sponge , dry cloth or paper towel . Do not allow puddles to remain on the surface of your laminate floor for a long period of time because they could cause warping Remember , laminate floor is not real wood , so you should never wax or polish your laminate flooring Do not use anything with chemicals that promotes a clean and shine Do not use bleach or abrasive cleaners for cleaning laminate floors Never use steel wool or scouring pads because they are renown for scratching surfaces Removing Exotic Stains and Stubborn Marks Blood : give it spray of window cleaner and wipe with a damp cloth Chewing gum : use a plastic knife or something else ( non metal ) to get under the gum and avoid scratching the floor . Once you โ ve prized the worst of it off rub the residue with a soft cloth dampened with mineral spirits Crayon : apply mineral spirits to a damp cloth and rub away Grease : Freeze with an ice pack until the grease hardens , then scrape off with a plastic knife . Wipe away the remaining residue with a squirt of window cleaner and a damp cloth . Ink : Wipe with a damp cloth . Add a little detergent if the stain is stubborn . If it โ s very stubborn use a commercial ink remover but be sure to wipe up with a damp cloth once you โ re done Nail polish : You guessed it , the answer is โ nail polish remover . Wipe up with a warm watered damp cloth once your done . Red Wine or Coca Cola : wipe with a damp cloth Scuffs and heel marks : rub with a pencil eraser .

http://laminatefloorproblems.com/laminate-floor-problems/water-damage/ | You are here : Home Laminate Floor Information Water Damage to Laminate Flooring Water Damage to Laminate Flooring By Terry Weinheimer | Kevin Weinheimer 85 Comments Water Damage Water damage to laminate flooring is a common occurrence seen by laminate flooring inspectors . . The cause of this damage is often such things as a flood , slow leak from plumbing , improper maintenance and spills . Just about any way you can get water onto many laminate floors seems to result water damage to many of these laminate floors . This is especially true with less expensive DPL products and the water that was not been wiped up immediately . Many sport centers face this problem and according to http : / / www . sportsandsafetysurfaces . co . uk / , sometimes this damage is covered under the manufactures warranty . At other times water damage may be covered under home owners insurance and often most water damage is not covered at all . Depending upon the severity of the damage it may be correctable by a plank replacement . At other times a larger portion of , or the entire installation may need to be replaced . Plumbing and Appliance Leaks Water damage from plumbing and appliance leaks such as dishwashers , water heaters , washing machines and ice makers can result in buckling of a laminate floor . Being a plumber in McKinney , I have seen how often these leaks unnoticed , which is why they are so dangerous to the value of you home . Leaks are often very slow which makes them difficult to identify them early as they are below the laminate where they penetrate into the laminates core material . While you may not see the leak an inspector can tell that excess moisture is there by use of a moisture meter . Flooding Severe plumping leaks such as a pipe break or overflowing toilet will usually result in severe water damage including the buckling of a laminate floor . Water Damage to Laminate Floor From Concrete Moisture can enter into the back of a laminate floor with the water damage resulting in cupping . An entire floor may cup from a concrete floor that is too wet . This can occur even when a vapor barrier has been used below the laminate floor . Testing for Moisture According to the Floor Master , all concrete floors should be tested for moisture prior to installation of the laminate floor covering . Newly poured concrete should be allowed to cure for at least 60 days prior to installation of the laminate floor . There are a number of ways to tests for moisture . Many of these such as electronic testing and calcium chloride testing should be performed by companies such as The Weinheimer Group that have the proper training and equipment . Easy Consumer or Installer Test for Concrete Moisture Below is a test that can be used inexpensively , without training . This test is acceptable by many laminate flooring manufacturers and will give you a good indication if there is excessive moisture in the concrete that may lead to water damage of your laminate flooring . Materials : 6 mil polyethylene film Duct tape . Procedure : Using duct tape completely seal a 2 โฒ x 2 โฒ section of the polyethylene film down to an area of clean concrete . It is best to do this in several locations where the laminate floor is to be installed . At least one test per 500 square feet . After 72 hours remove the plastic . ( one week is better ) If the concrete is dark or wet below the plastic the subfloor is too wet to install a laminate floor . Water Damage Maintenance and Pet Damage You do n โ t need to be a plumber to know that spills and improper wet cleaning of a laminate floor can cause water damage in the form of swelling at the laminate joints . This is often seen as puffy areas along the edge of the planks and frequently crosses between plank edges . Related post : Start at NorthernLightsExteriors . com when choosing your remodeling contractor . The most common cause of edge swelling over a large area is wet mopping or using popular floor cleaning equipment such as but not limited to the Swiffer Wet Jet . That โ s why I would highly advise you to leave it to the experts such as AtlantaWaterDamagePro . com to get your house back in shape and rid of any form of water damages . Sometimes it takes a year or two of use before maintenance related issues start to show up . Some floors may never experience noticeable damage by these cleaning methods used by companies like maid complete who have an impeccable reputation and others will experience severe damage . Water damage is rarely covered by the laminate manufacturer . Spills and damage from pet urine are usually localized and show as swelled areas between planks . This is a site related condition and not a laminate floor problem and will almost never covered by a manufacturer warranty . Best maintenence services are provided by Water mold fire restoration of Chicago Sealant Around Laminate Edges Some laminate flooring manufacturers require a sealant to be used around objects such as sliding glass doors , kitchen cabinets , water hearers and in other areas prone to leaks and moisture . The proper sealant must be used to prevent lock in of the floor . The sealant must be properly applied or voids will be left for moisture to enter . Failure to use a sealant as specified by the laminate flooring manufacturer can void a warranty .

http://lana88blog.blogspot.com/2013/04/all-about-owning-your-own-mini-horse.html | April 18 , 2013 All About Owning Your Own Mini Horse Have you always wanted a horse but simply lack the space ? Is feeding a large equine just out of reach in your monthly budget ? Are you looking for a great source of manure for your compost pile ? Are you looking to get involved and have fun with horses ? Here is an idea - try out miniature horses ! I thought you all might enjoy getting a little picture of why I own my own pony and what it is like to own mini horses . I have interacted with and owned mini horses since I was a little kid , and have enjoyed them very much . Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available . Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video . ( Me and Tux , a mini horse of my Mom ' s that I grew up with ) Some great things about owning your own mini horse or small pony : 1 . You do n ' t need a lot of space . Now , do n ' t mistake me , you do need SOME space . But just not near the space that a large equine needs . I have a small pony / miniature that currently lives on about a 1 / 4 of an acre which is fenced into two parts . He mainly lives on one side which is a " dry lot " - that is , there is very little grass growing on it . I let him graze on green grass on the other side of the fence only for short periods of time each 2 . You can do so many things with mini horses . Learn to drive a pony cart , enter your mini horse into shows , and connect with other people who are involved with mini horses ! If you have really special , well mannered mini horses you can use them to interact with children and even elderly people who enjoy horses but can no longer ride . You can hug them , love them , groom them , and take care of them ! Some mini horses and ponies can be taught to carry around very small children as well . 3 . They just do n ' t cost near as much as full - sized horses . On average , a horse or pony should get about 2 % of his body weight in food per day . So let ' s do some figuring based on that : If you own a 1,000 - pound horse : 20 pounds of hay , grass , and feed per day . If you own a 750 - pound horse : 15 pounds of hay , grass , and feed per day . If you own a 400 - pound mini horse : 8 pounds of hay , grass , and feed per day . I currently do not feed Bill any special feed because he is not pulling a cart or doing any work at this point . So all that I feed Bill is hay and grass . I make sure to always have the 8 pounds of feed available in the form of hay for him to munch on throughout the day . We are trying very hard to keep Bill eating all day long , which is how a horse eats in the wild and it is the most healthy for him . Horses that go without eating for long periods Here is a chart breakdown on cost if feeding a horse their 2 % from hay ( assuming one flake of hay weighs 5 pounds , that there are about 14 flakes in a bale , and a bale of hay is 10 $ , which is fairly typical for out here ) : If you own a 1,000 - pound horse : 85 $ / month , or about 8 and a 1 / 2 bales per month . If you own a 750 - pound horse : 65 $ / month , or about 6 and a 1 / 2 bales per month . If you own a 400 - pound mini horse : 35 $ / month , or about 3 and 1 / 2 bales per month . Now of course there is also the cost of getting your pony dewormed and his hooves trimmed twice a month . But almost everything is cheaper if your horse is smaller ! You will use less dewormer , for example . The only thing that is not cheaper for me is the farrier bill which is the same as for a big horse . 4 . You can use their poo for compost ! Click here for my blog post on using Bill ' s manure to make his upkeep cheaper . Some things to consider . . . Before you buy any horse , large or small , it is important that you know what you are doing . Horses have a special body language unique to their species and it is very beneficial if you know how to understand it ! I have known people who have owned a mini and had very bad experiences because they had no knowledge of horses . Do n ' t be fooled - just because a mini is much smaller than a big horse does n ' t mean they are like the family dog or cat ! Do your Share | [

REILLY | Staff Writer Mar 1 , 2014 The polar bear is considered the biggest bear on Earth . But it only beats out the Kodiak brown bear by a nose . So it โ s no stretch to call the Kodiak brown bear an Alpha carnivore . Feasting annually on a protein - rich diet of salmon , Kodiaks can stand 10 feet tall and weigh more than 1,000 pounds . Standing on all fours , a Kodiak bear โ s shoulder would be near the top of a 6 - foot - tall man โ s head . โ They โ re the biggest in the world , so I figured that โ s the one I wanted to go for , โ said Brian Shaub of Lancaster . Last October , Shaub , 44 , headed to Kodiak Island off the southeast coast of Alaska , to chase the island โ s namesake brown bears for 13 days . The co - owner of Keystone Fireworks on Lincoln Highway East , Shaub hunted from the famous Rohrer Bear Camp โ owned by Paradise native Dick Rohrer . โ It โ s been something that I โ ve wanted to do for a while , โ Shaub said of his expedition . A husband and father of three daughters , Shaub prepared for the rigors of a Kodiak Island bear hunt by spending months hiking around home with a 50 - pound pack on his back . He admitted those workouts came in handy , when , on the third day of his hunt , he and his guide , Jason Bunch , decided to hike to a secluded area four miles from their base camp . The pair set up a spike camp there at the confluence of two rivers . Shaub and Bunch planned to stay there in a two - man tent for five days , if necessary . โ It was pretty tight quarters , โ Shaub said . โ There โ s basically no room to move around inside . And if it was raining , that โ s where you went to get out of it . โ Shaub โ s goal for the hunt was to bring home a boar that would measure 9 feet squared . The squared measurement is derived by laying a bear โ s hide flat on the ground , and adding the distances from nose to tail and from the right front paw to the left front paw . Then you divide that total by two . So a 9 - footer is a big bear . It takes a keen eye to measure up a live bear , Shaub said . And his guide had such an eye . On their hike to the spike camp , the pair spotted a fat boar that Bunch estimated at just over 8.5 feet squared . Shaub said his guide wanted him to shoot that bear , which he nicknamed โ Fat Boy , โ but Shaub wanted to wait . โ It took all of my willpower to pass him , but it was early in the hunt and we had yet to make it to our honey hole , โ Shaub said . The next day , Shaub and Bunch looked over a big sow that they judged to be over 9 feet . Since it was a female , though , it was given a pass . โ I had no interest in a sow , โ Shaub said . โ I wanted a boar . โ As the pair slept in their tiny tent the following night , Shaub was awakened by a sound he identified as a bear breathing right next to his head , just outside . โ Having the world โ s largest carnivore circle your tent in the darkness makes you question your decision to pursue dangerous game , โ Shaub said . โ Panic set in as I realized my rifle was outside the tent in the vestibule , not that it would be of great use in the dark . โ Shaub woke his guide and apprised him of the situation . โ His reply was , โ Do n โ t get eaten , โ " Shaub said . โ He promptly rolled over and went back to sleep , seemingly unconcerned . โ Two days later , on Nov . 1 , Shaub and Bunch were watching an 8 - foot bear fishing in a river . Sign up for our newsletter Suddenly , the bear burst out of the water and sprinted across a flat , before turning around and staring back at the river . A large bear soon appeared , spotted his rival and proceeded to chase the 8 - footer up the mountain and out of sight . Shaub knew the big bear was a shooter the second he laid eyes on it . โ It was so much bigger than the other one , and we knew that one was 8 feet , โ he said . As Shaub wondered if he โ d missed his chance at a monster bear , the boar strolled back down to the river to hunt for salmon . Shaub and Bunch got into position ahead of the boar , which fed to within 100 yards . It was there that Shaub anchored the boar with bullets from his .338 Winchester Magnum , custom - built by Bansner โ s Ultimate Rifles in Adamstown . โ Shooting the bear was really just a small part of the whole adventure , โ Shaub said . โ There was so much more to it than that . โ The big boar โ s front pads measured 8.5 inches across , and Bunch guessed the animal would square at over 10 feet . It took the two men all of the next day to haul their gear and Shaub โ s trophy back to their main camp , and then all of the following day to properly treat the hide . In the end , Shaub โ s boar measured 10 feet 4 inches squared . The skull โ s green measurement was 28 11 / 16 inches . It has n โ t been officially scored yet , Shaub said , but he expects the dried measurement to exceed the 28 - inch minimum required for recognition by the Boone & Crockett Club โ s records program . Officials with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game told Shaub his bear was 16 to18 years old and had a live weight of about 1,100 pounds . โ They told me they really do n โ t get any bigger than that , so they said I can quit , โ Shaub said . โ I probably wo n โ t hunt brown bears again . โ P.J.

As you enter town you can often smell the sweet aroma of chocolate . The Wilbur Chocolate Company has been making chocolate in downtown Lititz since 1930 . Route 501 is known as Broad Street in town , but south of Lititz it is called Lititz Pike . Along the west side of Route 501 is Lititz Springs Park . To the east is Main Street . A Brief History of Lititz The Susquehannock Indians originally inhabited this area . The first settlers were Pennsylvania Germans in the 1720 โ s . The town of Lititz was established in 1749 when the Moravian Church , under Count Nikolaus Von Zinzendorf , established a church settlement here . The Moravians were originally from what is now Czech Republic . Like many other Protestant groups , they came to Pennsylvania seeking freedom of worship . For almost 100 years the Moravians controlled Lititz . Non - Moravians were not permitted to live here . Church elders established what they called the โ Town Regulations of 1756 โ , which residents had to abide by . These regulations were intended to help residents live โ free from all dangerous and worldly connections , and live a peaceful and quiet life in Godliness and Honesty . โ The regulations also stated , โ No dancing matches , taverning , beer taping , feastings , nor playing of child in streets . โ One of the popular symbols of Lititz today is the Moravian star , a 26 - point multi - dimensional Christmas star that is associated with the Moravian Church . In 1746 the Linden Hall School for Girls was founded , and is the oldest girl โ s boarding school in America . The same year the Brethren School for Boys was also established in Lititz . During the Revolutionary War , General George Washington commandeered the Brethren House for use as a military hospital . Gold was discovered at Sutter โ s Mill in California in 1848 , and the gold rush began . Later , in 1871 , John Sutter settled in Lititz . He died in 1880 and was buried in the Moravian cemetery . In 1784 a small bakery was started along Main Street in Lititz that became the first pretzel bakery in America . In 1861 that bakery became known as the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery In the late 1800 โ s and early 1900 โ s Lititz was a summer resort . People came here for what they believed were medicinal properties in Lititz Springs , which is the largest limestone spring in Pennsylvania . Today the seven - acre park includes walkways , playgrounds , picnic pavilions , and an amphitheater . In 1818 Lititz Springs Park hosted its first Independence Day observance . This annual celebration is now the oldest continuous Fourth of July celebration in the nation . The event has grown to include over 7,000 candles throughout the park and one of the largest fireworks displays in the area . In 1863 the Reading and Columbia Railroad built a station at Lititz Springs Park . A replica of their passenger depot now serves as the Lititz Welcome Center at the entrance to the park along Route 501 . Lititz Events Today , Lititz is a very active community .

http://lancasterpa.com/mount-joy/ | Lancaster PA > Mount Joy , Pennsylvania Mount Joy , Pennsylvania Welcome to Mount Joy The town of Mount Joy was founded by Scots - Irish immigrants . It โ s name comes from an Irish supply ship ( the Mountjoy ) that broke through a river blockade in Ireland in 1688 - 89 . Today โ s Mount Joy is comprised of the three original towns of Florin , Richland , and Mount Joy ( the latter two are separate National Register Historic Districts ) . The towns combined in 1851 . Mount Joy is located between Manheim and the river towns of Western lancaster County along what was once the Harrisburg - Lancaster Turnpike , the major road between Lancaster and Harrisburg . Today that road is called the Harrisburg Pike ( Pennsylvania Route 230 ) . In 1721 the Donegal Presbyterian Church was established between what is now Maytown and Mount Joy . The church was granted a 200 - acre tract of land from the William Penn family . In 1777 the congregation gathered under the former Witness Tree to pledge their allegiance to the American Revolution . The Lancaster County Historical Society believes it is the oldest church in continuous use . Spangler โ s Flour Mill began operating in 1854 , and is still in operation today . In 1889 a Bavarian immigrant named Alois Bube ( Boo โ - bee ) built the Central House Hotel and a brewery . They have been in almost continuous operation since then . Today , Bube โ s Brewery is a restaurant and microbrewery . Much of the residential architecture of downtown Mount Joy dates from before 1939 , although many outlying developments have been built since . In 2002 Mount Joy Borough was designated a Main Street Community by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania . The fourth Friday of every month Mount Joy hosts their special Fourth Fridays events .

http://landlords.about.com/od/BasicsOfPropertyInvesting/a/What-Is-A-Property-Manager.htm | Landlords Property Investing 7 Responsibilities of a Property Manager From Collecting Rent to Finding Tenants ยฉ The Balance , 2018 By Erin Eberlin Updated November 02 , 2018 A property manager is a third party who is hired by a landlord or property investor to manage the day - to - day operations at rental property . Their exact responsibilities will vary based on the type of property they are managing , the amount they are getting paid and the terms of the management contract . Here are seven of the most common tasks a property manager is responsible for . 1 . Rent Responsibilities Dealing with rent issues is one of the most common responsibilities of a property manager . This includes : Setting Rent : The property manager is responsible for setting the right rent level to attract tenants to your property . They understand the market where the property is located and have looked at comparable properties in the area . Collecting Rent They ensure optimal cash flow by setting a date to collect rent each month and strictly enforcing late fees Adjusting Rent : The property manager can increase the rent by a fixed percentage each year , according to individual state and / or municipal law . They can also decrease the rent if they feel it is necessary . 2 . Tenant Responsibilities Managing tenants is another core responsibility of a property manager . They are involved in all areas , including : Finding Tenants Property managers are responsible for filling vacancies . They know where to advertise the rental and what to include in their ads . They also understand what attracts tenants , so they can offer tips to help makeover the property Screening Tenants : Property managers should have a consistent screening process , including running credit checks and criminal background checks , which can decrease your chances of being accused of discrimination . Experienced property managers have seen hundreds , even thousands , of tenants , so they have a better idea of how to select the right tenants ; those who will pay their rent on time , have a longer tenancy and create fewer problems . Handling Leases : This can include setting the lease term and making sure it has all the necessary clauses to protect the owner . This includes determining the amount of security deposit required . Handling Complaints / Emergencies : They are paid to deal with maintenance requests noise complaints and they have the necessary contacts to handle emergency situations . Handling Move Outs : When a tenant moves out , the manager is responsible for inspecting the unit , checking for damages and determining what portion of the security deposit will be returned to the tenant . After move out , they are responsible for cleaning the unit , repairing any damages and finding a new tenant . Dealing With Evictions When a tenant does not pay rent or otherwise breaches the terms of a lease , the property manager understands the proper way to file and move forward with an eviction . 3 . Maintenance and Repairs The property manager must keep the property in safe and habitable condition . Property managers are responsible for the physical management of the property , including regular maintenance and emergency repairs . Property Maintenance : This includes performing preventative property maintenance to keep the property functioning in top condition . For example , they are personally in charge of , or must hire someone to , exterminate , check for leaks , landscape , shovel snow and remove trash . This maintenance aims to keep current tenants happy and attract new tenants . Repairs : When there is an issue , the property manager must fix the problem or hire someone else to do it . They often have a large network of reliable plumbers , electricians , carpenters and other contractors . 4 . Knowledge of Landlord - Tenant Law Good property managers have an in - depth knowledge of statewide and national laws regarding the proper ways to : Screen a Tenant Handle Security Deposits Terminate a Lease Evict a Tenant Comply With Property Safety Standards 5 . Supervising Responsibilities Other Employees : If there are other employees in the property , such as a concierge or security personnel , the property manager is responsible for making sure they are doing their job . The property manager can set their salaries and even fire them . Vacant Properties : Property managers are often hired to look after vacant properties to make sure there has been no vandalism and to perform routine maintenance . They also make sure contractors and other repairmen are completing their work in a timely manner . 6 . Responsible for Managing the Budget / Maintaining Records Property managers can be responsible for managing the budget for the building and for maintaining all important records . Managing Budget : The manager must operate within the set budget for the building . In certain emergency situations when the occupants ( tenants ) or physical structure ( investment property ) are in danger , they may use their judgment to order repairs or likewise without concern for the budget . Maintaining Records : The property manager should keep thorough records regarding the property . This should include all income and expenses ; list of all inspections , signed leases , maintenance requests , any complaints , records of repairs , costs of repairs , maintenance costs , record of rent collection and insurance costs . 7 . Responsible for Taxes The property manager can assist the property owner with understanding how to file taxes for the investment property . The property manager can also file taxes for the property .

http://landlordsgame.info/games/mn-raiford/mn-1932-rules.html | View monopoly oilcloth Charles Raiford circa 1932 M O N O P O L Y The Atlantic City Quaker 1932 monopoly rules as taught by Jessie Ruth Raiford to Charles Todd who taught Charles Darrow in Germantown Pennsylvania in 1933 Currently printed original rules have not been located The following rule set is based upon research by Ralph Anspach to whom I would like to express thanks for their use These rules are licensed to Thomas Fosyth by Ralph Anspach who created them for his Original Monopoly game PROCEDURE FOR BEGINNERS Set up the monopoly board Shuffle the Chance and Community Chest cards and place them separately face down on the marked places on the board Players pick their own personalized playing pieces and place them on the corner marked GO Appoint one player to be also the BANKER This in no way changes his capacity as a player The BANKER takes custody of the title cards and play money and issues each player 1500 in monopoly money The suggested distribution for up to four players is one 500 five 100s five 50s five 20s 10 10s eight 5s ten 1s For more than four players substitute more 500s or create your own extra monopoly money The BANKER also makes all payments and collects all charges ordered by Chance and Community Chest cards acts as tax collector for the government handles Roll the dice and high scorer moves first He rolls the dice again and moves his playing piece a corresponding number of spaces from GO toward the corner marked JAIL If he stops on the space marked COMMUNITY CHEST he takes the top most Community Chest card and does as his card directs If he stops on CHANCE he does the same thing as with Community Chest If he stops on INCOME TAX he must pay to the Bank 10 of his wealth To calculate his wealth he must add together all his cash plus the mortgage value of all his properties whether mortgaged or not plus the purchase price of his houses If any player stops on LUXURY TAX PAY 75 farther around the board he pays the Bank 75 Landing on JAIL When the player lands on JAIL by a normal throw of the dice the player is only visiting and leaves JAIL on his next turn without paying any penalty YOU MAY COME OUT OF JAIL FREE NEXT TIME draw card A player can always get out of Jail by giving his card to the BANKER who returns it to the bottom of the draw card deck These cards can be traded between players at any price they can agree on Doubles and Other Jail Rules When a player throws three doubles in a row or stops on the corner or draws a card which reads Go to Jail he moves his playing piece to the corner marked JAIL On his next turn he may pay a fine of 50 and come out or if he rolls double dice he has to come out without paying a fine He may stay in Jail for three turns attempting to roll double dice On the third turn he must pay his fine of 50 and come out whatever the number rolled after paying If a playing piece is moved onto any space with a property which can be bought the BANKER selects the corresponding card from his stack of title cards and offers the space at the price listed on the title card If the player declines to buy the property at that price the BANKER sells it at auction to the highest bidder The BANKER gives the title card to the purchaser The owner may collect the amount of rent stipulated in the upper left corner of the title card from every player who stops on his property thereafter MORTGAGES Each property has a definite mortgage value printed on the title card Any owner may borrow this amount from the Bank at any time but only after selling any houses and hotels erected on the property back to the bank at half price The mortgage debtor then turns his title card face down with a corner under the game board to show that it has been mortgaged No rents of any kind may be collected on a mortgaged property By returning to the Bank the loan value plus 10 interest the mortgage may be redeemed at any time The players move in rotation the BANKER watching each new property space as it is stopped on and offering it for sale if it has not been sold This continues until all the properties have been sold Each player collects from the bank an income of 200 every time his personal playing piece travels completely around the board LAND MONOPOLY When a player owns all parcels of land in one color grouping it is a land monopoly For example if a player owns ARCTIC AVENUE and then purchases BALTIC AVENUE he becomes the owner of the green land monopoly MONOPOLY LAND RENT When a player owns a land monopoly he doubles the rent which players landing on any parcel of the monopoly must pay MORTGAGED PARCELS IN A LAND MONOPOLY While no rent may be collected on a mortgaged parcel the usual double rent still holds for the unmortgaged parcels since the owner still owns the land monopoly whether parts of it are mortgaged or not HOUSES ARE BUILT ONLY ON A LAND MONOPOLY Players only build houses if they have the power to charge killer housing rents something which is only possible if the land is monopolized Therefore houses can only be erected on parcels which belong to a land monopoly For example if the player owns the BOARDWALK alone he can not build on it But if he becomes the owner of the light blue monopoly by purchasing PARK PLACE he may build both on BOARDWALK and on PARK PLACE HOUSES can be bought only from the BANKER with prices increasing by 50 on each side of the board as we move into richer neighborhoods Lowincome side of the board between GO and JAIL 50 Middleclass side of the board between JAIL and FREE PARKING 100 Rich side of the board between FREE PARKING and GO TO Jail 150 Superrich side of the board between GO TO JAIL and GO 200 Houses once built may be torn down to raise money but such money can only be raised from the BANK and not from other players The BANK pays only half price for torn down houses Full price must be paid to the BANKER for each house repurchased from the BANK Players may build during their turn or at any other time when another player is not taking his turn The houses are bought from the BANKER The improvements may be made at any time except between the time another player rolls his dice and completes his turn RENTS FROM HOUSES ON LAND MONOPOLIES As shown on the title cards the land monopolists profiteering accelerates every time he places an additional house on his property For example on ARCTIC AVE the second house jumps the rent from 10 to 30 just the first time someone lands on the property The extra 20 income is earned by investing in one more 50 house The immediate profit on the transaction is therefore 20 divided by 50 or 40 When a third house is added the rent increases to 90 The extra firstlanding 60 is earned by investing in one more When a player has four houses on a property and wants to add another one he returns the four to the BANKER who sells him a hotel for the usual price of another house No player can build more than one hotel on one space Each owner can have but one house more on one space than on any other space in the same land monopoly Buildings may be placed in any pattern the owner wishes as long as street names are not covered up and space is left for the landing of playing pieces A player may buy sell or trade property with another player at any time whether mortgaged or not The only exception is that houses and hotels must be torn down and sold back to the BANK before the land on which they stood can be traded with other players RAILROADS AND RAILROAD MONOPOLIES Railroad fares double whenever the railroad baron adds another railroad line to his transportation monopoly Thus a player owning one railroad gets 25 per ride two railroads bring 50 per ride three railroads bring 100 and a complete monopoly with four railroads brings 200 These amounts appear on each railroad title card UTILITY MONOPOLIES The utility rates of the ATLANTIC CITY WATER WORKS and ATLANTIC CITY ELECTRIC CO more than double if one owner monopolizes both utilities Thus when a player lands on a utility he throws the dice again If the utility belongs to an owner who does not also own the other utility the dice score is multiplied by 4 If the utility owner monopolizes both utilities the dice score is multiplied by 10 Thus the charge skyrockets from a multiplier of 4 to a multiplier of 10 of the throw of the dice This means that the utility baron BANKRUPTCY RULES Players are bankrupt when they can not raise sufficient cash to make a required payment To raise cash players may mortgage their land after selling houses back to the BANK Alternatively they may sell their property to other players though again land may be sold to other players only after selling its houses back to the Bank If the cash raised is not enough to make the required payment the cash plus their remaining property with mortgages still in effect is turned over to the player who caused their bankruptcy and the bankrupted player leaves the game If players are bankrupted by payments owed the BANKER all their cash and property is turned over to the BANKER The property becomes unmortgaged property which the BANKER puts up for auction THE LAST MONOPOLIST TO REMAIN IN THE GAME IS THE WINNER New players should not try to learn too much from the rule book before playing Very little need be remembered in order to get into the game and the meaning comes quite easily from playing a single game For beginners to play a satisfactory game they need only refer to the following 1 Each player takes 1500 at start 2 Take 200 every time around the board 3 Players line up in space marked GO and move clockwise according to players dice 4 When the playing piece stops on COMMUNITY CHEST or CHANCE the player takes the topmost card and follows directions 5 Taxespay Bank as directed 6 Owners owning a monopoly all parcels of a colorcoded series build houses and collect higher rent 7 When you can not pay a rent or other charges retire Properly speaking there are few rules which must be followed to play monopoly Certain customs are given here which have been found to work well in playing but players need not at first actually know and follow them all to play an interesting game ABOUT AUCTIONS When the bidding is in process during an auction the BANKER should call each raise three times unless the price is again raised before he can do so For instance he should say Going once for 305 Going twice for 305 And sold for 305 The word and should be distinctly prolonged to allow for last minute bidding Bids are always raised by a minimum of 5 because odd dollar raises simply prolong the process unnecessarily ADVANCED RULES FOR EXPERIENCED PLAYERS JAIL INSURANCE Players who do not own a land monopoly may insure against going to Jail on their next turn by paying 25 to the Bank on approaching the Go to Jail corner The 25 must be paid before throwing the dice If the players playing piece falls short of the corner he must pay another 25 if he wishes to insure on his next turn 5 insures against going to Jail by a Chance card The BANKER writes up an insurance slip for the player PAUPERS A player can not be put out of the game by a debt to be paid to the BANKER If all his property is mortgaged and he has less than 100 in cash all payments resulting from Chance Community Chest Taxes etc are canceled FORGETTERS If a player forgets to collect his 200 on the turn in which he completes the subsequent circuit of the board he forfeits his right to collect it If a player forgets to collect what another player owes him he forfeits the right to do so the moment the debtor moves his playing piece away legitimately on his next turn FREE RIDES Property sellers often ask for free rides in compensation for less cash A free ride is the privilege of stopping on a property without paying rent HOUSING SHORTAGE If a player wants to buy a house but the BANKER has run out of houses to sell the player can try to buy a house from another player at any price they can agree upon If no bargain can be struck the player must wait until the BANKER has a house to sell If the BANKER runs out of hotels only five houses substitute for one hotel | [

In Canada , poinsettia are the most popular of all Christmas houseplants . Millions of poinsettia are purchased each year during the Christmas season by people who enjoy the colour and warmth they provide to the home . Proper selection will help to ensure a long lasting plant that you will enjoy throughout the Christmas and winter months . Purchase tips Choose plants that appear strong and healthy . Check for signs of insects by looking at the underside of the foliage and avoid plants whose leaves are spotted or yellow . Next , check to see if the small yellow flowers are still on the plant . Remember , the red colour of the poinsettia is provided by modified leaves called bracts . The small yellow flowers should be located at the centre of the red bracts . Finally , never buy a plant that is displayed with a paper or plastic sleeve pulled right around the plant . The Taking your plant home The garden centre where you purchase your poinsettia will provide the plant with some protection for the journey to your home . Never expose the plant to cold temperature for more than a few minutes ; a chilled or frozen plant will drop leaves very quickly . When you have the plant at home , remove the protective wrapping immediately . Taking care of your poinsettia With proper care , your poinsettia will last through the holiday season and right into late winter . Play close attention to the following tips : Place in a room where there is bright natural light but not where the sun will shine directly on the plant . Keep the plant away from locations where it will receive hot or cold draughts . Place the plant high enough to be out of reach of unmonitored children and pets . Set the plant in a water - proof container to protect your furniture . Water the plant thoroughly when the soil surface is dry to the touch . Discard any excess water which remains in the saucer after 10 minutes . The bright colour of the bracts will remain longer if temperatures do not exceed 22 ยฐ C . Reflowering your poinsettia If you can not bear to throw your poinsettia out when it is finished providing colour , you may want to try your hand at reflowering your poinsettia next year .

Poinsettia plants The botanical name for poinsettia is Euphorbia pulcherrima . The United States ' first ambassador to Mexico , Joel Robert Poinsett , sent several plants back to his home in Greenville , S.C. in 1825 . The poinsettia is not a poisonous plant . Research has proven that the poinsettia is not lethal to humans or pets unless eaten in extremely large amounts . However , your poinsettia and all other houseplants should be kept out of the reach of small children and pets , since varying degrees of discomfort may be experienced if plant parts are ingested .

http://landscaping.about.com/cs/lazylandscaping/a/shade_plants_2.htm | Landscaping Ideas Top 10 Trees and Plants That Love the Shade Best in Show , From Trees to Ground Covers By David Beaulieu Updated 03 / 30 / 19 David Beaulieu You probably never would guess that the beautiful flowering dogwood tree would have it " made in the shade . " But the fact is , there is a pretty shade plant or sensible shade - tolerant answer to almost any landscaping need . The top performers can come from almost any group of plants , from flowering trees ( like the dogwood ) to turf and ornamental grasses . 23 Plants That Thrive in Full Shade Deciduous Tree : Flowering Dogwood Flowering dogwoods are understory trees in the wild and are an excellent choice for shade plants in a landscape . " Cherokee Chief " is one cultivar of flowering dogwood tree ( Cornus florida " Cherokee Chief " ) . Its lower branches have a horizontal branching pattern , lending interest to any landscape design . This flowering dogwood grows to a height of 20 to 25 feet and spreads 12 to 15 feet . Cherokee Chief dogwood puts out rosy - red blooms in spring , while its fall foliage is a red color with hints of bronze . Other types of Cornus florida have flowers that are white or pink . Grow Cherokee Chief in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 through 8 . Bruce Shippee / EyeEm / Getty Images Evergreen Tree : Canadian Hemlock Eastern or Canadian hemlocks Tsuga canadensis ) are shade plants that do not tolerate heavy winds , heavy clay soil , or drought . Hemlocks are best known as forest trees that reach enormous heights ( 60 feet or more ) . But if pruned faithfully , it can be maintained at the height you desire . A properly pruned row of hemlocks can even form a dense and attractive privacy hedge . Hemlock is hardy to zone 3 . Douglas Sacha / Getty Images Deciduous Shrub : Red Twig Dogwood or Red Osier Dogwood Shade - tolerant red osier dogwood Cornus sericea " Allemans " ) dogwood blossoms in white in mid - spring . But it is really not about the flowers with this plant , which can mature to a height of as much as 10 feet and to a similar width . What follows the flowers is more interesting : the white fruit . And even these berries take a backseat to what red osier dogwood is really all about ; namely , its red bark . Grow it in hardiness zones 3 through 8 . A similar plant is red twig dogwood . While both tolerate shade , you will get more of the red color by giving it more sunlight . Paul Hart / Getty Images Evergreen Shrubs : Yew Yews Taxus spp . ) are evergreen shrubs that grow in shade . These plants can also be trees , depending on the type you grow . It is a shade - loving plant with a long history . The short , flat needles of yews are dark green on top and light green on their undersides . New foliage in spring is bright green and soft . Yews are relatively slow - growing and can either be left unpruned or pruned into a hedge . The hybrid cultivars of the Taxus x media group are crosses between Japanese yews and English yews . All parts of this plant are poisonous , except for the red berry or aril . However , since the seeds are poisonous , and the seed matures within the berry , the berries should be considered off limits . Keep small children away . Taunton yews ( Taxus x media ' Tauntonii ' ) are the best yews for regions with severe winters because it is resistant to winter burn . These shrubs grow about 3 to 4 feet tall and have a similar spread . The plants require a soil with good drainage . Taunton yews are hardy to zone 4 . 30 Shrubs for Shady Areas Guenter Fischer / Getty Images Annuals : Impatiens Impatiens Impatiens wallerana ) has been one of the most popular annual gardening plants in the U .

Masaya Sato / EyeEm / Getty Images Perennials : Bleeding Heart In addition to the bleeding heart plants most commonly seen in gardens ( namely , Dicentra spectabilis ) , there are Dutchman ' s breeches Dicentra cucullaria ) and the fringed bleeding heart . All three are shade plants and cold - hardy to zone 3 . The white flowers of Dutchman ' s breeches are shaped just as the common name suggests . These perennials reach 6 to 12 inches tall with a similar spread . Aaron Choi / Getty Images Rock Garden Plant : Deadnettle Deadnettle Lamium maculatum ) is a shade - loving perennial for zones 4 through 9 . Deadnettle grows to a height of about 1 foot , at most , with a much greater spread . It does put out blooms , but it is more often grown for its medium green foliage that is splashed with silvery blotches . Not only does deadnettle love shade , but once established , it is also drought - tolerant , making it an ideal plant for rock gardens located in a shady spot . Just give it a soil with good drainage and let it go . It can be invasive in some regions . Fernando Trabanco Fotografรญa / Getty Images Vines : Vinca and Climbing Hydrangea Vinca minor vine , the perennial ground cover with the cute common name of " periwinkle flower , " is widely used as a ground cover in areas where lawn grasses just will not work . Grown in zones 4 through 8 , Vinca minor vine requires good drainage . This shade - loving ground cover has traditionally been planted under large trees , where most lawn grasses would quickly have given up due to insufficient light . vine is a short plant , growing only 3 to 6 inches off the ground , but its trailing stems with evergreen leaves spread up to 18 inches . The stems root at the nodes as it creeps along the ground and spreads rapidly to form an attractive ground cover . vine puts out bluish - lavender periwinkle flowers in spring and may bloom a bit more here and there during the summer . Periwinkles are another invasive plant . If this is a problem for your region , use hosta plants instead . A more versatile vine for shade is climbing hydrangea Hydrangea anomala ssp . petiolaris ) . It , too , can be used as a ground cover . But it is a much larger plant than , and it has a greater number of uses . For example , some owners of brick homes grow it up against their house walls . It is suitable for zones 4 through 7 . Christa Dr Lรยผdecke / Getty Images Ornamental Grass : Northern Sea Oats Northern sea oat grass Chasmanthium latifolium ) grows 24 to 36 inches high in loose clumps of green foliage . Its name comes from its seed pods , which look like oats . This shade - tolerant ornamental grass is cold - hardy to zone 5 . Nate Abbott / Getty Images Lawn Grasses : Fine Fescue or Turf Type Tall Fescue Fine fescue lawn grass seeds often come in bags mixed with Kentucky bluegrass . Buy any lawn - seed mixture labeled " for shade , " which will include fine fescues , such as hard , chewing , and creeping red fescue . At least 80 percent should be fine fescue grasses . This shade - tolerant lawn grass grows in zones 3 through 8 . An alternative is the new and improved class of tall fescue grasses known as " turf - type " tall fescues . When planting fine fescue seed in a shady area with trees , first use soil amendments , such as compost and peat moss , to improve the body of the soil so that it does not dry out easily . You will have trouble with your fine fescues if the soil has a tendency to dry out , which is precisely what will happen if tree roots are absorbing all of the available water in the area . At the same time , fescues do not want to be in excessively wet soil , so you should not plant it in areas that stay wet all of the time . Applying compost helps strike a balance between good drainage and water retention . The Best Shade Grass for the Lawn Federica Fortunat / Getty Images | [

http://landscaping.about.com/od/cheaplandscaping1/ht/drip_irrigation.htm | Landscaping Tips How To Install a Drip Irrigation System Save Water , Time and Money By Mia Amato Updated 10 / 11 / 17 The drip irrigation lines will be easier to work with if you lay them out in the sun first . George Rose / Contributor / Getty Images A drip irrigation system does not just save water ( and the money you pay for that water ) , it also saves time . No more getting up early to sprinkle your tomatoes : With an automatic system , your vegetable garden is fully watered by the time you have had your first cup of coffee . No worries on vacation , either : The petunias around your patio will stay lush and lovely , sufficiently irrigated even when you are away . How To Install a Drip Irrigation System Start with a small drip irrigation system : A vegetable garden laid out in rows or a flower bed on a terrace are both perfect for beginners to start with . Shrubs around your house foundation or hedges at your property line also can be watered efficiently using this method . Determine a water source Any outdoor faucet can be used for an automatic drip irrigation system , provided you attach a Y - shaped valve hose connector , which can be found at a hardware store . Put it on upside down , so that the bottom of the " Y " attaches to the faucet . Attach one arm to the garden hose that will deliver water to the system . The other arm can be attached to an auxiliary garden hose for other watering needs . Start measuring : Draw a garden plan , showing the plants you want to water and how far apart they are . Each plant will get an emitter - - a tiny sprinkler ( often a bubbler or a slow drip - drip one ) for its own watering needs , and each will be attached to the water source with a network of drip irrigation lines . These will be 1 / 4 - inch and 1 / 8 - inch plastic tubing that runs from the main hose to your plants . You ' ll want two emitters tutorials Gather your gear : You ' ll need a battery - operated timer for your system , which can be set like a clock to automate watering times . A pressure regulator / back - flow valve is essential to prevent the water from backing up and ruining your household plumbing . Hose adapters help , as do optional items such as a filter to keep rust and dirt out of the drip irrigation line and a fertilizer injector . Assemble the drip irrigation lines first : Lay the tubing out in the sun to soften the plastic , so it ' s easier to work with . Cut the 1 / 4 - inch tubing with scissors , and push the ends into the connectors to extend the lines toward your plants . Use the 1 / 8 - inch emitter lines to connect the main lines to the emitters . Connect the flow from the faucet : Connect the remaining equipment from the faucet in this order : Y - connector , timer , back - flow / pressure unit , hose - thread adapter , garden hose , another hose - thread adapter , and drip irrigation line . Your water supply is now linked to your system ' s main 1 / 4 - inch line . Test it : Toggle the switch on the Y - shaped connector so water will run from the faucet to your system . Set the timer on manual , and then set it to On . Turn on the faucet . If you ' ve done this correctly , you ' ll see the emitters start to spout like tiny fountains . Adjust the amount of water by adjusting the flow from the faucet . The emitters should n ' t look as though they are bursting or straining , but neither should the water flow look too flat . Check for leaks : When you ' re satisfied with the water flow , turn the timer off but leave the faucet turned on . You should hear the water stop running . This is the time to ensure there are no leaks between the faucet and the other equipment . If there is leakage , you are probably using the wrong adapter - - it should have a hose - type threading , not a pipe - type threading . Leaks around connectors or emitters usually can be fixed with a bit of tape . Set your timer : 20 minutes once a day is usually enough . Experiment with different amounts of watering time until you โ re satisfied your plants are receiving adequate moisture . Tips for Beginners If the thought of piecing together a bunch of plastic tubes is n ' t your idea of fun , San Francisco - based Urban Farmer Store and Gardener ' s Supply Company in Vermont sells complete drip irrigation systems for small gardens and patio containers Alternatively , you can install a soaker hose . Snake this porous hose , available in 25 - or 50 - foot lengths , around roses , flower borders or shrubs ; hide it with mulch . The far end is capped , and the water just oozes out slowly for a good , deep watering . You will still need the back - flow valve / pressure regulator unit to prevent the water from backing up into your home , and you can attach a timer to further simplify things . Supplies That You Will Need Y - shaped hose connector for the faucet ( also called a " hose bib " ) . A timer for your drip irrigation system ( battery operated ) . Pressure regulator / backflow valve . Garden hose ( 15 - , 25 - or 50 - foot length ) . Hose - thread adapters . Main drip irrigation lines - 1 / 4 - inch plastic tubing that can be cut with a scissors . Assorted connectors โ tees ( T - shaped ) and elbows ( right angles ) . Emitter lines โ 1 / 8 - inch plastic tubing to run from main lines to emitters . Emitters โ One to two per plant , or spaced 10 - 18 inches apart . Tape measure . | [

http://landscaping.about.com/od/flowersherbsgroundcover1/a/phlox.htm | Landscaping Basics All About the Different Types of Phlox Flowers By David Beaulieu Updated 03 / 28 / 19 There are many types of phlox flowers , but the most popular kinds are Phlox subulata and the various cultivars of P . paniculata . It ' s easy to distinguish between these two types , as P . subulata stays short , while P . paniculata is a tall kind . There are other differences between the two ( explained below ) , but size is a good place to start . Types of Phlox Flowers Phlox subulata David , a white - flowering plant Nora Leigh , a variegated plant Volcano Ruby , a phlox for warm climates Phlox Subulata As mentioned above , is a short plant , and its stature is reflected in its common names : " creeping phlox , " " moss phlox , " " moss pinks , " " ground pink , " and " ground phlox . " Do n ' t let the " pink " label fool you : This perennial does come in other colors . Not surprisingly , functions primarily as a flowering ground cover . You ' ll often see this spring bloomer blanketing banks with its colorful flowers . Indeed , I list it as one of the top spring flowers Types of Tall Phlox In contrast with its ground - hugging relative Phlox paniculata , or " garden phlox , " is sometimes referred to simply as " tall phlox . " These perennials are tall enough to be inserted into the middle or back row of a bed of mixed perennials without getting lost . If spring is prime time for , then the best time for tall phlox to shine is the summer : It ' s an old standby for the summer garden , a colorful contributor to your yard ' s beauty long after many other perennials have petered out . As you can imagine , this makes it a valued plant among those looking for a continuous sequence of bloom . Consider investigating some creative landscaping ideas for more on this subject . David is a type of tall phlox ; it owns bragging rights in my own landscape as the tallest . The leaves of and tall phlox are so different from each other that one would be hard - pressed to identify them as related species in the absence of their flowers . has needle - like leaves , some of which remain green throughout the winter . The leaves of tall phlox are much larger and die back at the end of the growing season ; they are narrow at both ends and flare out in the middle . The leaves of Nora Leigh offer a nice twist in that they are variegated . The tall phloxes are cold - hardy plants , but they have a tougher time coping with extreme heat . They are susceptible to powdery mildew , which is more difficult to combat the hotter it gets outside . Landscaping enthusiasts who live in hot climates have , consequently , felt cheated when it comes to growing perennial tall phloxes ( although Phlox drummondii is an annual wildflower in Texas ) . But the creators of the " Volcano " series claim that their " Ruby " introduction is the answer for Southern gardeners . Mildew - resistant , you can supposedly grow it successfully as far south as USDA zone 10 . | [

http://landscaping.about.com/od/toppicks/ht/lawn_mowing.htm | Lawn Care Basics Tips for Safe , Efficient Lawn Mowing By Mia Amato Updated 09 / 13 / 18 David Beaulieu Mowing a lawn is one of those skills that many people imagine is too easy to require instructions . It is also a skill for which most people could really use some good information . Here are some best - practice tips for mowing your lawn safely and with good results . Choose the Right Mower Whether you are buying a mower or borrowing equipment , choose a mower that is right for the job . If the lawn is less than 500 square feet , consider a reel lawnmower . This still - relevant relic is less noisy than gas mowers and simpler to use than electric mowers with cords that can be a nuisance . For larger lawns , a power mower is faster , and its grass - catcher and mulching options will save time on clean up . Do not bother with a riding mower unless you have at least an acre of lawn to care for . A battery - powered mower is a great option on every level . These mowers burn no gasoline and use no oil , so they are environmentally friendly . And most models are considerably quieter than mowers with gasoline engines . Because they have no power cords , battery - powered mowers are quickly taking over the electric market , and many manufacturers now offer very dependable models . Keep the Mower in Good Condition Before you begin mowing , look for obstructions in the mower ' s blade area , particularly if the mower was just purchased . Add a little oil to the moving parts if they feel tight . If the mower is more than a year old , the blades may need to be sharpened , or your lawn will look ragged after you have mowed it . A little known fact is that new mowers have blades that are n ' t particularly sharp . A new mower will perform much better if the blade is sharpened before its first use . Some people are afraid of the idea of a razor - sharp mower blade , but in fact a sharp blade cuts more efficiently and therefore is actually safer than a dull blade . It is easy enough to learn how to sharpen mower blades , but if you are unsure , your local hardware store may offer this service or be able to recommend a commercial sharpening service . A general lawnmower tune - up each spring is a good idea , especially for gasoline - powered mowers . Set Wheel Height Correctly Generally , warm - season grasses , such as zoysia , should be cut to a height of 1 / 2 inch to 1 inch , or 2 inches at most . Cool - season grasses , such as bluegrass and fescue , thrive at a height of about 3 inches or even 3 1 / 2 inches . Cutting height can usually be adjusted by raising or lowering a mower ' s wheels . Look on the side of your lawn mower to find latches or switches that allow you to adjust the height of the wheels . Modern mowers may have spring - loaded adjustment feature that allows a single lever to adjust the height of all four wheels . Before Mowing , Clear the Yard For safety , clear objects and mark obstacles before you begin lawn mowing . Use a rake to pick up branches , loose stones , dog bones , small toys , bottles , cans , or other such objects . Any object lying on the ground can be propelled at great speed out of the mower ' s discharge chute , reaching speeds as high as 200 miles - per - hour . If there are low - lying objects that can not be moved , such as pipes , mark their locations so you do n ' t run Mow Early and Often For the best possible lawn , mow early ( in the morning , after dew has dried on grass ) and as often as your grass requires . If you are looking for a schedule , owners of healthy ( that is , vigorously growing ) grass should expect to mow at least once a week on average ( every two weeks will do , though , if you are busy ) . In very wet , warm weather you may need to mow more often than weekly . It is really better , however , to be guided by From the perspective of a healthy lawn , it is best to mow often . Like other perennial plants , grasses stay healthy when no more than a third of new growth is removed at any given time . So mow frequently in order to trim the grass blades by no more than one - third of their length . Use the Correct Mowing Pattern Proper mowing involves a back and forth pattern โ not mowing around in a spiral . Move at a brisk walking pace ; if you go too slowly , grass will catch and clog the blades . Consider lawn mowing to be sort of a workout . Use a similar back - and - forth pattern if you are using a riding mower , proceeding in neat , even rows . To mow around a flower bed or tree , do two laps around the obstacle , first in one direction , then the other . You will get best results if you mow in half - lap passes โ with the new pass overlapping the previous pass by half the mower width . While this may seem like more work , it takes less time and energy , because the lawn - mowing movement is smoother ( less grass to cut in each pass ) . It also ensure that you cut anything missed on the first pass โ you wo n ' t have to go back later to trim up any rough or shaggy patches . Change up this pattern with each mowing session . If you mow in exactly the same pattern each time , the mower wheels may eventually form small ruts in your lawn . Changing the pattern also keeps the mower blades from beating the grass in the same direction each time . Your grass will stand up straighter if you alternate the mowing direction . Tidy Up After Mowing When you are finished , use a lawn rake to gather grass clippings . The one exception to this is if you are using a mulching mower , in which case you should let the clippings work their way down through the grass and eventually act like a fertilizer . Studies have shown that over the course of a summer growing season , allowing mulched grass clippings to break down in the lawn is the equivalent of a full application of granular fertilizer . However , mulching mowers are designed so that grass clippings are chopped several times as their whirl about under the mower deck . If the grass clippings are simply being ejected out the chute , make sure to rake up the clippings after After each mowing , clean the mower blades with water and squirt a little oil on the moving parts to prevent rust . Additional Tips Installing a mower strip around the perimeter of the lawn makes lawn mowing go much more smoothly . Never allow children to play nearby when you are lawn mowing : something might fly out of the discharge chute and cause injury . Nor should you take kids " along for the ride " on a riding mower . When lawn mowing a sloping area prevent accidents by always mowing across the slope , not up and down . The exception to this is when you are using a riding lawnmower โ riding mowers are safer when operated up and down on slopes . Lawn mowing should be done when the grass is dry . Wet grass can cause you to slip , and soggy clippings will clump and clog your mower . Cutting damp grass also leaves it vulnerable to fungal diseases . If grass clogs the blades or discharge chute of a power mower and the engine starts to sputter , turn off the engine and make sure the blades have stopped rotating before carefully raising the mower to remove the debris . | [

For example , catmint can be a nice ground cover , but rarely will a visitor walk onto someone ' s landscape and remark , " Wow , look at that catmint ! " It is not designed to evoke such a response ; rather , its purpose is to play a supporting role . Castor bean plants , on the other hand , have star power .

It is because castor beans possess these three qualities ( and more ) that they are such interesting plants . Tall , Dark , and Handsome ? Grown during the summer in a Northern landscape , these fast - growers will typically reach a height of 6 - 10 feet ( occasionally becoming as tall as 15 feet when started early in a greenhouse and provided with ideal conditions ) . If you grow several of them , this trait can make them useful as living privacy fences for the summertime . But its height is just one attribute that makes castor bean stand out in your landscape . The coarsely - textured leaves furnish fodder for spectacular textural contrasts with plants that have smaller leaves . Even the green - leaved types attract attention because the leaves are star - shaped . If that ' s not enough for you , some cultivars offer dark foliage . On others , such as the Ricinus communis ' Carmencita ' in the image above , the young leaves can start out reddish if given sufficient sunlight . As you can also see from my photo , the stalk can be a bright red color . While the flowers are insignificant , the red seed capsules covered in spines do possess ornamental value . When these pods dry , they explode , turning the seeds that had been trapped within into projectiles . Even the seeds , themselves are attractive , sporting an endless number of color patterns . It is perhaps the appearance of these seeds that gives the plant its genus name , Ricinus , which translates as " tick " in Latin ( there is also an unrelated perennial named " tickseed " ) . Unfortunately , the literature on the subject ca n ' t seem to decide whether the plant was named after the tick or vice versa . Regardless of the confusion surrounding the origin of the botanical name , castor bean plants merit specimen status , possessing some ornamental traits for which other plants would kill . Toxic Terror , Care A poisonous plant in all its parts , castor bean ' s namesake " beans " ( i.e. , the seeds ) are especially toxic . They are the source of the infamous poison , ricin . If you ' ve followed the news much at all in this crazy 21st century in which we live , you probably remember encountering at some point a report that went something like this : " Ricin - Laced Letter Sent to U.S. Senator . " It ' s not often that a landscape plant makes it so big in the news , but , then Does the danger posed by castor bean plants frighten you ? Their toxicity might be problematic if you have young children . If you ' re still determined to grow them , then lessen the danger by cutting off the flowers and disposing of them , thereby preventing seed formation . The first step in good plant care is selecting an ideal location for your specimen and improving the soil ( if needed ) in that spot . Grow castor beans in an area with full sun and good drainage . If you doubt the soil ' s fertility , work some compost into the ground . Keep the soil adequately watered all summer . Since castor beans are tall , slim plants with large leaves that act like sails in the wind , be sure to stake them unless you ' ve located them in a spot sheltered from high winds . Tropical Pizazz , Familiar and Surprising Uses Many people are familiar with the fact that castor oil , an old - time laxative and purgative , is pressed from castor bean seeds . But did you have any idea that it is an ingredient in Castrol motor oil , a product that owes its very name to castor oil ? That ' s just one of many benefits from this plant that most people would find surprising . Some gardeners , at least , are aware that castor beans are used in companion planting to serve as mole repellents Castor beans are not true beans ; that ' s just a nickname . The plants belong to the Euphorbiaceae family . That makes them relatives of poinsettia plants and wood spurge . Tropical plants such as castor beans have a certain cachet in the Northern landscape , where they offer an exotic look . Hailing from Africa , has naturalized in many other warm areas of the world . How warm ? It is suited to growing zones 9 - 11 , where it is classified as an herbaceous perennial . But in the North , it ' s pampered like the star that it is and only works summers , as if it were an annual | [

http://lanieshope.org/gambling-addiction-suicide | Gambling Addiction Suicide Bea Aikens Blog Suicide and Gambling Disorder 146 Suicide attempted suicide and suicidal ideation is common among compulsive gamblers By the time the devastation of the disease reaches the tipping point in a pathological gamblers life they face grave financial problems their families and relationships are in ruin selfesteem has been decimated and a sense of helplessness and hopelessness is pervasive Generally by the time an addicted gambler reaches bottom every aspect of their life has been destroyed Suicide is all too common in those afflicted with the disease of compulsive gambling adelaidenowcomaumotherwholostdaughtertopokiesbegsjuliagillardnottogiveupongamblingreformstorye6frea6u1226249879492 I would argue that the bottom for a compulsive gambler is much lower than that of other addicts Why Compulsive gambling does not physically impair the addict We dont fall down slur our words pass out or exhibit other outwardly visible warning signs Our livers dont give out and our kidneys dont fail Compulsive gamblers stop gambling when our resources run out Period There are no more stashes of cash no more credit card cash advances to be had no more loans from friends and family and no household funds to reallocate to feed our addiction By the time a I frequently hear from mental health practitioners that problem gamblers have the highest suicide of any addicted group I believe this to be more an anecdotal statement than a quantifiable one for several reasons 1 The body of scientific study on compulsive gambling is quite limited 2 Most studies that do exist are funded by gaming industryrelated entities thus there exists at least the possibility of bias in studies or at the very least funding can be targeted to studies that dont encompass studies as offensive as suicide rates and 3 Most gamblingrelated deaths dont indicate pathological gambling on the death certificate as the cause of death A drug overdose a car crashing into a brick wall would From an in the trenches view I can tell you that my experience is that suicidal thoughts are commonplace Last year while sitting in a break room at a Gamblers Anonymous convention the conversation turned to suicide Quite candidly five of us discussed whether or not we had attempted or considered suicide THREE out of FIVE said they had Andfranklywe werent freaked out about this We could have been talking about a recent news story or a movie wed all seen Suicide and discussion of suicide is common in our groups Gamblers anonymous includes the question Have you ever attempted or considered selfdestruction as a result of your gambling as one of the screening questions for Compulsive Gambling diagnosis I would venture to guess that at any GA meeting 40 of the room would answer YES to this question My sister Lanie died as a result of an overdose of Paxil due to her secret and devastating gambling addiction Do I believe it was a suicide In my heart of hearts No I think she was sad depressed ashamed and simply didnt want to feel the emotional pain and heartache her addiction had caused Lanies death certificate reads cerebral hemorrhage There is no mention of a gambling addiction in relation to the overdose and resultant Seretonin Syndrome and stroke that ultimately ended her life And heres the REAL tragedy pathological gamblers who DO seek treatment for suicidal ideation RARELY covered by medical insurance I have first hand experience of this and similar stories are common within the rooms of Gamblers Anonymous I once assisted in admitting a suicidal gambler to a local hospital for observation and mental health care We were clearly informed by the hospital admissions representative that their insurance would have covered the hospitalization if they were an alcoholic or a drug addict with the same selfdestructive thoughts The admitting clerks words echo in my head to this day Any drug or alcohol problems No Thats too bad Hon Your insurance covers that If you or someone you love has a gambling problem please reach out for help Life gets so much better You can experience a gamblingfree

would be better off The only reasons preventing me from committing suicide is because of my family friends and being Catholic it is said that you would go to hell for committing such as act If it wasnt for that I probably would have done it already plus I cant find an appropriate outlet for it Im 29 years old and Im finally about to graduate college I thought I had life figured out multiple times and had my future mapped out Now Im in a trap and Ive lost all hope ambition and a vision for my future I no longer know what I want to do and things I used to enjoy I dont enjoy anymore because Im so miserable Im lost I used to be an honors student and Ive owned two businesses for over five years I have no more energy and Im beaten down I live 15 minutes away from the casino I work in the casino for a corporate restaurant inside of the casino but I do not work for the casino itself therefore I can gamble 99 of the time after my 6 hour or so shift I walk out of the restaurant and gamble all of my money away literally right after I clockout I start to gamble I even gamble money that is not mine on credit or wherever I can get it in order to chase the money I have lost from the nights before I cant stop literally I make a beeline for the slots immediately after my shift I used to play on tables but it wasnt fast paced enough for me Im a high roller I get all of these I never do anything fun I just work all night gamble and do it again I can not be any more depressed I have the best parents in the world and I dont even talk to them because Im so ashamed Im about 2030k in debt and I dont see a way out I wish someone could just buy my life back so Im at zero again and I can sign myself out of both casinos for life and quit my high paying job and get a real career with my education Im so screwed I cry almost every night I was admitted to the hospital by my parents and attended an intensive outpatient program for six weeks I didnt gamble for over 30 days the longest Ive ever gone without gambling I started to relapse once my body got used to the medication naltrexone but when it did work it was like an off switch for gambling absolutely amazing no urge nothing I could even sit in front of a machine and laugh at how stupid I was for ever gambling in the first place Presently Im back to square 1 nothing is working I am past the point of recovering from my losses and I have seriously jeopardized my future I dont know what to do I cant quit the job money is too good and Im too far in debt I need to quit gambling I cant beat the overpowering urge The depression is getting to be unmanageable After I lose all of my hard earned money from a nights work I drive home ashamed angry embarrassed regretful hopeless depressed and I often cry or scream in the car the whole way home I then struggle to put gas in my car and to put food into my stomach I use points for both food and gas and literally have no money I dont want to eat because Im so depressed I have no appetite I make fantastic money at my job and Im a top employee but I literally have nothing to show for it Over the Bea Aikens May 14 2015 at 1037 am Reply Author Dear Marshall Your email touched my heart so much that I could have cried when I read it My heart hurts for you for many reasons First and foremost you are questioning the value of your own life and your desperation came through loud and clear Also it is so Relatable to me I once felt this despair as well and I know many many people in recovery from gambling addiction who have expressed different versions of the exact same story You are in the grip of the progressive illness and it can be a vicious cycle I too hit the steering wheel of my car many nights as I drove home from a casino I too felt hopeless and helpless and ashamed And then for me the ONLY hope was to finally say I can not do this any moreI had relapsed like you did when you had 30 days without a bet I get it that its even MORE shameful because the people who love us have helped us and they think were doing OK when were not Were living a lie and it eats us up I really and truly get it Marshall and I am not a clinician or a medical expert so understand that I am speaking to you as just another person like yourself who suffers with a mental health condition recognized by the American Psychiatric Association as an addictive disorder requiring treatment I often say If I had diabetes I wouldnt be ashamed If I had cancer I wouldnt be ashamed I WOULD be responsible for taking my insulin or getting chemo treatments or doing whatever I could to live a healthy life There are consequences of our actions committed as a result of the addiction and yes they can be overwhelming but I think you know by now that continuing to gamble and chase is not the answer When I was finally done defeated and out of options I had two choices kill myself or get help Thank God I got help Today I am SO grateful that I no longer have to live that way And I know many many people who have had the same experience Yes it is scary and painful to get honest with those we love but its the only way to get to the other side of this addiction The isolation and shame is awful and once you take the steps toward recovery life gets better The National Council on Problem Gambling offers a free 24hour help line at 18005224700

addiction For me thoughts of suicide were comforting at times because I believed it would end my pain Pain is what drove me to gambling and what I sought to avoid For many years the devastation my

the very reason that I can relate to them I just arrived today from the casino and i lost the money I have saved for a few months within 30 minutes of playing the slots Its from my allowance as I am a student dependent on my partner and inlaws for my day to day expenses Last time on my way home from the casino I had to travel 2 hours by train to get to the nearest one as I banned myself in the ones in town I tried to reflect on my growing addiction by recapping my story from a 3rd point of view I want to share it with everybody Affliction He sat there lost in his reverie His baffled mind couldnt find an iota of calmness which would allow him to think sensibly His disturbed thoughts changed as fast as the kaleidoscopic scenery outside the train window He clasped and sought comfort from the gold plated rosary with an angel pendant he always carried in his wallet Both objects were gifts the rosary from his friend and the angel pendant from his partner He uttered some words while holding the religious trinkets pleading them help as if they could hear him He badly needed some relief from the unexplainable feeling Is this really who I am he asked Lord help me he continued A few months before he thought he made progress as he could finally speak about his affliction openly with a professional and with some family members His partner who found out what he was up to in the months of acting bizarrely before he was caught red handedly immediately asked this form of intervention from the municipal social services It was one of his terms and conditions if they were to continue their relationship He submitted to this professional help without any hesitation He was afraid and felt embarrassed He was at his lowest How could you his partner asked repeatedly It was not even your money He calculated a total of 10000 dollars wasted in the slot machines He always made note of everything he spent in all his trips to the casino ironically labeling the file in his phone as Figures of Speech Factor the time he spent playing and you have a serious example of time and resources wasted Well perhaps that was a bit of an exaggeration but if you include the fact that he was a student and he was largely dependent on his partner and his parents for his day to day living this preoccupation was more than serious Somewhat traumatized by what he could actually do his partner became distrustful of him and temporarily took control of his finances He willingly accepted this intervention Somehow he was relieved that he was banned from the casinos and that he had no more access of excess money He felt a sense of safety and empowerment Most importantly he felt a great sense of relief All those episodes of lying to his partner inlaws and friends were over Now he could look at them in the eyes again I wish my story ended that way with no more continuation The sad truth is I am on a relapse since March this year The thought of telling my partner whos been very loving and supported of me and my inlaws who treat me as their own child that I have been gambling again is currently my biggest fear and source of embarrassment I am afraid to disappoint them again Steve

the tools to abstain from gambling are in that fellowship and regular weekly attendance if possible can really help anyoneno matter how severely addicted stay away from that next bet I have

games started in 1996 at that time my game of choice was blackjack For the first two years myself and my wife used go to the casino on Friday nights She stared to see the problem I started playing 25 a hand by the end if second year I was playing 200 a hand This kept on going for a while huge ups and downs I wish there were never any ups The confidence that it is possible to win made to chase my losses I switched to Baccarrat game Banker bet was my favorite Huge ups and downs The worst part was every time I won big for few weeks it always followed with heavy loosing weeks I continued to gamble despite knowing you can not beat the house in the long run I knew I would loose even if there was no such thing as house advantage I knew the the law of large numbers is not on the side of persistent gamble like me I still gambled away all the money for which I had worked very hard For the last few weeks I have been getting suicidal thoughts I lost about 500k in last 18 months Credit cards home equity personal loans from bank borrowed money from couple of friends stating business needs I am suppressing the suisidal thoughts by remembering my kids wife and my mother It took long

every story posted to this site ending with yours My mother ended her life on Sept 27 2017 about 6pm She was not found until the following morning When I received the call I dropped everything and flew to Kansas City I never knew she was addicted to gambling until today when I gained access to her computer and paperwork She was 79 semi retired and had little income Yet she was able to borrow money from many sources that she would never be able to pay back and she gambled it all away I Bea Aikens October 3 2017 at 1000 am Reply Author Dear Roxie My heart aches for you I have been where you are and the pain is so great What we all wouldnt give for just one more day I too was angry when Lanie took her life due to gambling I wasnt sure who I was mad atthe Doctors for not understanding how gambling could lead to an overdose and who had the audacity to ask me if shed won Perhaps the casinos for offering the gambling In the end I found myself cursing the addictionwhich I too have I am a compulsive gambler in longterm recovery and today I understand that many people see gambling as a form of recreationno different than going to a movie or another entertainment venue For those like me and Aiden and your precious mother it is a LIFE THREATENING mental illness I believe the fight is with public perceptionwhere gambling addicts are often viewed as morally weak and lacking in selfcontrol I dont think wed say this of a drug addict or an alcoholic There is much work to be done there But for now Dear Roxieits not time to fight Its time to grieve To feel your feelings and honor your mother I am so terribly sorry for your loss It breaks my heart every time I hear of a senseless loss like this It happens far too often and the world needs to understand Insurance needs to cover TREATMENT of this disease and society needs to pave the way to have safe and open discussions about the disease of Disordered Gambling God Bless you Roxie Feel your feelings They will come in waves and you will likely vacillate between anger deep sorrow regret and back again You did nothing wrong We gamblers keep secrets andthere were probably no signs for you to miss Surround yourself with caring friends and loved ones Allow yourself quiet time and crying time If you pray time with God Perhaps a support group or GamAnon I will lift you in prayer and Lanies Hope will continue to do what we can to shine a light on this insidious disease When youre ready you can share your experience with others Right now its time for you May God Bless youand thank you thank you thank you for

WONDERFUL THEY ARE BY GIVING GIFTS TO THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND THESE GIFTS ARE FUNDED BY GAMBLING IF ONLY THEY KNEW THAT THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS ONLY WANT THEM THE PERSON EVERY PROBLEM GAMBLER IS CONNED BY GAMBLING INTO BELIEVING THAT IN ORDER TO BE NORMAL GREAT SUMS OF MONEY IS A MUST NORMAL IS LIFE WITHOUT EXTREMES Tatum September 22 2017 at 835 am Reply My name is Tatum and I AM A COMPULSIVE GAMBLER I sit here today wondering why Why me Why cant I stop Why do I continue to hurt everyone that tries to help me I remember the day it started 12 years this has controlled my life My life wasnt perfect before that day but it was nothing compared to the last 12 years I had a great job and stopped at the casino and won That was the beginning of the end I cant imagine how much money I have lost but I would guess it would be hundreds of thousands of dollars I have attempted suicide multiple times and hurt everyone that ever cared I have been to inpatient treatment twice been hospitalized multiple times and still continue to self destruct My Im sitting here alone terrified My husband comes home tomorrow and when he finds out what I have done I can only guess what will happen We are not actually married anymore But he talks about getting married again For the third time But I am pretty sure when he gets home I will be out on my ass Unfortunately I have no where to go My family is tired They dont want to deal with me anymore either So I sit here Counting down the hours till my world falls apart AGAIN I have spent the last 12 years trying to fix this When I cant fix it I run away So now all I can think about is what do I do now I have nothing left I have no job no car no money and the one person that has tried so hard to make me happy is going to come home tomorrow and figure out what Ive done I really feel like I dont have any other options at this point The only thing that stops me is that I have tried and failed multiple times Its like I cant even do that right In the past when everything falls apart I would run But cant do that I hope some day I can be at peace I hope some day they can forgive me for the hell I have put them thru And I hope that some day they will know that I never wanted to hurt them or drag them down with me I am broken and dont think anyone can put the pieces back together And I cant ask them to anymore It has to stop All I can do now is pray to GOD to give me strength Bea Aikens October 3 2017 at 1054 am Reply Author Dear Tatum Your story breaks my heart You have REASONS to live you obviously love your family and your dog Harley Our pets give such unconditional love and comfort The fact that youve tried rehab before and the power of your words tell me that you WANT things to be different They can be Tatum I promise Ive experienced recovery for myself AndIve also felt the despair of just not wanting to face it any more Please pleasedont give up on yourself or on LIFE By now you KNOW that you have an illness and youve heard that it is treatable even if treatment didnt work for you before Gambling Disorder is a chronic disease Google it Youll see that a chronic disease persists for a long time and generally can not be prevented by vaccines or cured by medication nor do they just disappear Please dont give up Just because its chronic doesnt mean that relief is not available to you I have interviewed many compulsive gamblers and I am one myself Im in longterm recovery but I didnt get it the first time Thank the Lord you were unsuccessful I believe God has a greater plan for all of us Clearly he has a plan for you Dont give up on yourself Tatum And dont beat yourself up for having a chronic illness Try treatment AGAIN Just as you would go to the doctor if a medical condition reoccured Be sure that you are seen by a Certified Problem Gambling Counselor I dont know where you live or where youve gone to rehab but pick one that is gambling specific And of course 12step programs augment our recovery and for many it is the only treatment they seek and need for continued abstinence Please reach out again and let us know how you are Praying for you Tatum Bea E October 13 2017 at 215 am Reply My 25

originally from Europe but were both living and working in Korea I dont know what to do I just want to go back to my previous life I Jeff October 18 2017 at 135 pm Reply Since 2015 Ive been gambling larger amounts since Bitcoin has been easier to aquire I came into about 100k from a serious injury and I started buying Bitcoin around 250 I began gambling on sports full time and it started out very well for about 3 months making around 30k but then I began chasing losses and 100 bets went up to 10k bets The value of money completely disappeared Numerous times I tried to stop and just keep Bitcoin as it was constantly increasing value I would see tremendous gains but lose them on risky bets I quit several Luckily I paid off my modest home before this spiral began and I have relatively basic expenses but my soul has basically been crushed and I spent many long hours reading on suicide and wishing there was a way Im consumed many days by thoughts of whats the point 100k is a good amount of real money but the lost opportunity of not just letting my money sit on Bitcoin as its gone from 250 to 5600 is also a real stinger I have constantly made good savings plans saving like 75 of my income only to relapse and bet a years savings on one bet At this point the only win that would mean anything would be getting back to 100k and its just highly improbable of turning 10k back into that 100k I just look back and wish I didnt have all this joy sucked out of me and it makes me silly to think its gonna take 8 years to save up 100k again and who knows what other issues I will have Although I love my work with dogs its physically very hard and there isnt a lot of money in it I know Im one injury or physical problem away from not having an income I try to rationalize it as a bad business decision or just a risky choice but its still so defeating I 100 know it could be worse as in I could be in debt to someone or have a mortgage but its really all relatively I feel like I wasted by UofMichigan education spent 10 years wasting 5k a year on weed and blew 100k on gambling probably more like 150k since my college days Ive read about the difficulties of managing receiving a large than normal sum of money but all of my learning has taken place after the It is only money and the truth is I didnt live any different when I had 100k cash in my safe but maybe thats because I didnt understand the value of experiencing life with freedom I could have not worked or did some traveling or helped someone out that really needed it Instead I was reckless and uneducated about what to do with my money and I cant ever forget about that fact I have moments I enjoy at work with the dogs and maybe some moments out on my motorcycle with my dad but I dont imagine or expect my life to ever be fulfilling again I expect to live the daily grind until my parents pass in 20 to 30 years and then I cant imagine Ill really have much to live for in my 50s Im sure there will be either a point in the next few decades where something comes into my life that shows Im worth being around or Ill realize that life just isnt worth the fight My advice to anyone out there is to never think about starting to gambling in any form If you ever get a thought that you can make money or win gambling you have a problem The only way youll win in gambling is if you have money or investors and start a sports book The house always takes a cut even on winning bets Human psychology and the chemical reactions associated with gambling also lead to more losing A big win might give you a big high but youll be overcome by a smaller loss and the wantneed to win I write all this in the hopes of saving one person from becoming the soulsucked zombie Ive become No one should feel as empty as I do because of gambling and no one should constantly be consumed by the pursuit of money I remember a time where I had to borrow money for daily things but I wasnt gambling and I still felt good about myself and had pride Now I still can save and invest over 1000 a month usually but I feel completely dead with no sense of pride Usually when I get to 5k or 10k its To anyone like me that maybe found this page to see if there are others who have lost six figures and are below average income earners just know that there are I was doing a million dollars of volume betting in a month There are a lot of us that have lost large sums and if youre not stealing lying or in debt then it should be a warning sign that the bottom hasnt been reached and the only way things will improve is by stopping all gambling The systems the numbers the tracking the winning days are all alluring Chris November 15 2017 at 117 pm Reply Jeff Your story is very powerful but you have good insight into your problem The opportunity cost of money lost to gambling is something that plays over in my mind when I hit the pillow at night I would estimate Ive lost around 2m since I was 18 I am 40 now I used to be a lawyer and had assets of 5m but that has all been taken away from me due to my addiction The depression I get once I lose money is crippling I cant work or even really interact with anyone else I too feel already dead have also become pro suicide I used to consider it a cheaters way out of life but I have read much on the topic and understand it better It is an individual choice and for me because I am such a burden on people around me and I have tried and failed to treat my problem there is going to be a continuing problem so suicide is a reasonable response to ease future pain and suffering Gambling is a horrible disease and in Australia where I live it is endemic NSW has the largest number of poker machines per capita in the world It is literally in your face every where you go The Government is addicted to the tax revenues generated from gambling so nothing with change The majority of these revenues comes from problem gamblers Casinos and clubs will use every resource available to ensure you lose your last dollar Gambling is seen as something sexy and the industry purports a myth that people can win Did you ever see James Bond lose at a casino The truth is quite the opposite Mary December 25 2017 at 654 pm Reply Thankyou Jeff Your story has helped me to have better understanding the dark thoughts went through someone who has gambling problem I have a sibling who has been gambling for 56 years she has wiped out my elderly mothers saving house She had a time didnt want to work and claimed that gambling made more money for her To date She probably has lost 500K and 60K in debt every month she asks to borrow money from friends and family only now less and less people willing to help her because they now know that she couldnt repay the money I have become the main source of her financial support around 1000 a month for her basic living However when I asked her to sign a selfexclusion from the casino she blew up with anger When I suggested her go to GA meetings she refused to go There have been numerous occasions she threaded to suicide It is devastation to our family How can we get her to get help Jeff January 14 2018 at 710 am Reply Hi Mary selfexclusion is the best thing to do but it is certainly a difficult thing to do because of the power of the addiction Im still struggling myself and have had a couple very costly relapses Im not really sure why I havent excluded myself but it tells me that Im still holding on to the thought of winning which is a sick feeling I dont think you can really help someone else out with this type of problem until they really want to help themselves Maybe its time that you remove her financial support that she is receiving from her I know a turning point for me was when I suffered huge losses living on my own I knew that there was no easy way to make the money back I started to worry about the very basics like paying for food or keeping the heat on Its quite possible your sibling doesnt think she is at the bottom because she is still Its probably very hard to say No but it might be the best thing for your sibling in the long run Mike April 23 2018 at 953 pm Reply Very similar story here Jeff other than being older Im 41 I pissed away a million dollars that took years to accumulate stupid risky options bets and couldshould have had several million instead of a big fat 0 All the plans I had for charitable giving mainly to animal shelters have gone by the boards I did give some money to them but not as much as I should and going forward I have nothing Just a couple months living expenses and have spent the past decade basically gambling so little hope of finding something paying a living wage I Chris November 15 2017 at 1219 pm Reply I am a compulsive gambler I will do almost anything to get money to gamble I lie to family and friends about what I need the money for I hate myself for gambling Even when I win I will soon return and lose it all with interest in a short period of time I am depressed broke and cant work I was a successful lawyer but lost my license due to my gambling When I lose I drink heavily to numb the pain and as a result I have lost my drivers license for DUI The stress and anxiety I I have seen therapists for 10 years and taken medication which just makes me feel sick I have been to GA which I like but I still cant stop gambling It seems to be the only thing I care about I will have to file for bankruptcy soon I cant seem to see any other way out apart from suicide I am such a leech and the future just feels hopeless The only thing that seems to ease the pain is alcohol and that is temporary and just makes life worse Help richard eugene tindall November 16 2017 at 1209 pm Reply I think you are doing something that is needed I have lost a lot of money betting on horse races I think compulsive gambling leads to lies to cover up how much you have lost It was only earlier today that I decided I would quit all forms of gambling Horse racing was my downfall A friend of mine lied to me about needing money for food and medicine she spent it on lottery tickets Jack December 16 2017 at 425 pm Reply Im now 40 and ive been gambling since I was 18 I live in Sydney Australia and we are a nation of gamblers It is socially acceptable There are more poker machines in NSW per capita than anywhere else in the world At least one person commits suicide a day over problem gambling but the Government is addicted to the tax revenues gambling brings in The poker machine and racing lobby is very powerful Problem gambling ruins lives not just for the gambler but also for others around them It makes good people do bad things I grew up as an honest kid who studied hard and played sports hard I went to law school and captained the local districts rugby club I was given an allowance per week by my father while at uni which invariably went into the pokies I knew by about 19 I couldnt control my gambling as I couldnt stop playing until i had lost everything but I did nothing about it At about 21 I committed a 50K Gambling has cost me relationships and is the reason I have no assets wife or children at my age despite always being popular with women One day I would have 20K in my account and the next I would be borrowing 1K to pay rent or utilities I knew I couldnt raise a child with my inability to manage money but as a lawyer people trusted me and when I asked someone for 100K the reasons for which I have forgotten I flew interstate and blew the lot at the races the next day That was a real comedown and After law school I worked hard I was a promising lawyer and everyone assumed that I was on the path to big things I was earning several hundred thousand a year so that is understandable particularly when the amounts of my gambling was being kept a secret I had a bookie and online accounts I only rarely went to a casino but when I did I could sometimes go really well It is amazing how addicts can hide their addictions despite my income I was living week to week while everyone assumed I was flush with cash BUT then we moved offices above a betting shop and I started spending half the day in there and would only leave when all my money was gone When I was broke I would get up for an early morning run and take cash from my girlfriends account so I would have money to gamble with that day and she is such an awesome girl so it would break my heart every time About 5 years ago I committed a 30K fraud against my employer which I repaid before they had any knowledge but I was fired and lost my Since losing my licence I have worked hard to build up a business unrelated to the law but lately I just dont care about my clients and i have been managing it badly All I want to do is gamble and the business is now failing fast I also owe 150K to the tax man as instead of paying my taxes I have been punting on horses NBA MLB NFL you name it I am depressed and spend plenty of time looking at the most painless ways to commit suicide I have insomnia and rent a shitty little place where The funny thing is it is not about the amount of money I win but rather being in action I have won 10k 20K 30K plenty of times in a couple of hours but it didnt matter I just wanted to gamble and it always ends up at zero whether that day or the next And the gambling hangovers are just awful I have been to a psychiatrist since about 2009 and GA They both have been good experiences but I cant stop gambling My gambling is pathological and not just compulsive It has pushed away my friends and most of my family dont want anything to do with me No one returns my calls and I no longer get invited to events like weddings and Christmas parties and I had such a great group of mates You know youve really screwed up when your family doesnt speak to you My current girlfriend is at her wits end and cant understand why I guess the moral of the story is that when you have a gambling problem it is a horrible horrible affliction It has cost me everything I have sought help on many occasions but the lure of it is just so powerful Now I am in so much emotional pain and contemplating suicide If I cant stop my life will never recover and I cant have the life I want It almost feels too late for that anyway but if I set some goals for 45 then maybe just maybe I can get there I know I need to work

I had to take my child to the morgue to see his body I can not tell you how horrible it is to see the remains of your loved one pulled out of a drawer and to bring your child into that room Only his hair was the same If you are feeling suicidal please just drop your stupid pride and reach out for help You can not beat this yourself Just please get over yourself and do what you need to do to stop this from destroying you Giving your loved ones the pain of your suicide and leaving them alone in the world does not make things any better Please just go get help Your loved ones will still love you even if they know the extent of your problems Let them in and let them help you and be there for you Even if youre gone the bills and the debt collectors still keep coming to the door of your loved ones If you die they will find out anyway And then it is your loved ones who have to clean up your financial mess and deal with the nuisance lawsuits and so forth that keep coming The stress of your sudden funeral having to decide what to tell people coordinating with others raising children alone etc is what you will stick your loved ones with if you decide you are going to commit suicide I have cried every day for four months not because of the debts but because the man who was supposed to protect us and whom we loved has left us I miss him every moment Other people must think Ive gone crazy I do feel crazy Please dont do that to the people you love Even if you are feeling totally hopeless you can hold on another day Nothing is insurmountable You can overcome problems with the help of the people who love you Dont keep it to yourself I hope this causes at least one person to reconsider suicide Tonight I go to bed again in tears Please hang on for one more day admit that if you could solve this yourself you would have already and get help Please get help This fell on my boyfriends deaf ears I hope you will hear me Sending all the gamblers love and support CMH April 29 2018 at 606

gambling It is very scary the future I face Mike April 30 2018 at 1033 pm Reply Hello JJ Very sorry to hear about this Im sure he wasnt even in a frame of mind to think about others unfortunately Ive found myself in the same position a few times I hope the bill collectors treat you reasonably Very sad to have that added to everything I know it would be very difficult for my mother and sister if I died so that has kept me going Every day is difficult in some ways I think its going to get better as I am literally almost penniless and that will force me to make some changes Best of luck to you and again so sorry Mike May 2 2018 at 942 am Reply Not sure anybody will even see this which is probably for the best I have been taking stock of things the past week And its remarkable what a mess I made Early 40s and gambled away literally every last cent of an options account that at one point peaked out at 1 million on the nose This was several years ago So I could have gone to the beach for several years and just plowed that thing in the market index fund and had 152 million or so Instead it is quite literally 0 and Im stuck in the mud Im haunted constantly by thoughts of the good I could have done with that money and given how many years I wasted doing this Im concerned about how Ill ever be I justified it before because I was making money for a while and I called it trading rather than gambling Now I have nothing to show for it and cant see a path forward at this point The only hope Im holding on to is 1 For the most part I just hurt myself I was able to help others financially at times though I wish I had done more instead of vaporizing the money Now I have to tell these people what happened and explain that Im broke Still I would rather be in this position than have done something malicious that hurt others or even an accident like a car accident that killed someone 2 I know people who have done the same thing or very similar Several of them were able to turn it around and create lives they can be proud of They may not have any money but they dedicate themselves to some sort of work that helps others and are kind to others For them the period of selfhate eventually ended and they moved on So Im at least a little bit hopeful Good luck all in beating this insidious problem Its really a bear Mike May 21 2018 at 1024 am Reply Good job CMH Youre doing it day by day which is all you can do Im finally nearing the end Its too much for me to look back at the mistakes and have to relive them constantly when people want to know what happened and what Ive done with my life Theres simply no excuse for being in this position in my 40s solely through my bad choices Its one thing to have bad luck or have circumstances beyond your control but to destroy my own life is simply too much for me I will be completely out of money Elias Christofi June 16 2018 at 1047 pm Reply To all of you here I was at a suicidal point because of my own addiction

http://lansingwbu.blogspot.com/2011/09/types-of-bird-feathers.html | Monday , September 19 , 2011 Types of Bird feathers Every time I go to fill the feeders in the fall I see that the birds are dropping feathers all around . Long stiff feathers , short fluffy feathers , gray , blue , yellow โฆ There are several different kinds of feathers which serve several different functions and now that the birds are going through a molt you can take a closer look at the differences . Generally five types of feathers cover the body of a bird : contour , semiplume , down , filoplume and bristle . Contour feathers are the feathers that cover and protect the bird . They are sort of staggered like scales on a snake . The most common contour feathers that people find on the ground are the tail and flight feathers . At first look they may seem the same , but tail feathers are usually more balanced with a stiff center shaft and flight feathers have a wider and narrower side to help cut through the air . In between the contour feathers are semiplumes that provide both support and insulation . Underneath the contour feathers are down feathers . The purpose of down feathers is to trap air between the feathers and the bird โ s skin to insulate it . Some birds , such as baby chicks , are born covered in down . Other feathers act as sensors . Filoplumes are bare except for a few barbs . They grow around contour feathers and may help birds sense the position of feathers in flight . Bristle feathers look like little stiff hairs and grow around some birds โ beaks or eyes . Bristles may help birds such as swallows catch prey by funneling insects toward the mouth . They may also protect the eyes . Woodpeckers have bristles over their nostrils that help keep wood chips out . Bristles may also act like a cat โ s whiskers helping a bird feel what Because feathers are critical for flight and insulation , birds keep them well - maintained , especially in the winter . After a bath the birds obtain oil from the uropygial gland and reapply it with their bills to straighten and waterproof their feathers . Some birds that do n ' t have the preen gland like pigeons and herons also grow powder down feathers . These feathers grow continuously and never molt . Instead the barbs at their tips constantly disintegrate into a fine , talc - like , water - resistant powder .

http://lao.ca.gov/BallotAnalysis/Initiative/2015-024 | All Initiatives A.G. File No . 2015 - 024 June 11 , 2015 PDF Version Pursuant to Elections Code Section 9005 , we have reviewed the proposed statutory initiative related to the cultivation , use , possession , and sale of marijuana ( A.G. File No . 15 - 0024 ) . Background Federal Law . Federal laws classify marijuana as an illegal substance and provide criminal penalties for various activities relating to its use . These laws are enforced by federal agencies that may act independently or in cooperation with state and local law enforcement agencies . State Law and Proposition 215 . Under current state law , the possession , cultivation , or distribution of marijuana generally is illegal in California . Penalties for marijuana - related activities vary depending on the offense . For example , possession of less than one ounce of marijuana is an infraction punishable by a fine , while selling marijuana is a felony and may result in a jail or prison sentence . In November 1996 , voters approved Proposition 215 , which legalized under state law the cultivation and possession of marijuana in California for medical purposes . State law also authorizes cities and counties to regulate the establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries in their jurisdictions . The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2005 , however , that federal authorities could continue under federal law to prosecute California patients and providers engaged in the cultivation and use of marijuana for medical purposes . Despite having this authority , the current policy of the U.S. Department of Justice ( DOJ ) is not Proposal This measure changes state law to legalize the possession , cultivation , and sale of marijuana . Despite these changes to state law , activities related to the use of marijuana would continue to be prohibited under federal law . State Legalization of Marijuana - Related Activities . Under the measure , individuals age 21 or over could legally possess , sell , transport , process , and cultivate marijuana under state law . The measure also states that state and local governments are prohibited from enforcing federal prohibitions on marijuana . Although the measure would generally legalize marijuana , certain marijuana - related activities would remain unlawful , including operating a motor vehicle while under the impairment of marijuana or providing marijuana to individuals under the age of 21 . Marijuana Possession and Cultivation for Personal Use . Under the measure , the cultivation and possession of marijuana for personal use generally would be exempt from regulation . The measure specifies limits on the amount of marijuana that could be cultivated or possessed for personal use . For example , individuals could not ( 1 ) cultivate a marijuana garden that exceeds 12 mature plants and 50 square feet in size or ( 2 ) possess more than 24 ounces of dried marijuana , unless the dried marijuana is a product of the individual โ s marijuana garden . However , local governments could authorize cultivation or possession Regulation of Commercial Marijuana Activities . This measure establishes the Cannabis License Control Board within the Department of Consumer Affairs to regulate the commercial cultivation , processing , distribution , and sales of marijuana for recreational or medical use . The measure authorizes the board to monitor compliance with its regulations ; investigate suspected violations ; and restrict , suspend , or revoke business licenses of violators . Individuals or organizations engaging in commercial cultivation , processing , transportation , distribution , or sales of marijuana would be required to pay a fee and obtain a license from the board . Taxation of Commercial Marijuana Sales . The measure establishes the following statewide excise taxes on marijuana products sold for recreational purposes : ( 1 ) $ 8 per ounce of dried marijuana , ( 2 ) $ 1 per gram of concentrated marijuana products ( such as hash ) , and ( 3 ) 20 cents per gallon of liquid marijuana - infused products . The measure states that medical marijuana is exempt from sales taxes and , in some cases , excise taxes . Revenues collected from the excise taxes would be deposited in a new special fund โ the Statewide Cannabis Tax Collection Account The measure authorizes local governments to impose various taxes on marijuana , subject to certain conditions . For example , local governments could impose up to a 2 percent tax on the retail sale of recreational marijuana products if authorized by a two - thirds vote of the governing body and a two - thirds vote of its electorate . Similarly , local governments could impose a business license tax on various types of medical and recreational marijuana - related business ( such as manufacturers , distributors , and retailers ) of up to 1.5 percent of their gross receipts Zoning Restrictions for Marijuana Businesses . The measure allows local governments to establish certain โ reasonable โ restrictions on the establishment of marijuana businesses . For example , local governments could prohibit the establishment of ( 1 ) retail stores selling marijuana for recreational use in areas not zoned for commercial use , ( 2 ) businesses cultivating marijuana in areas not zoned for commercial or industrial use , or ( 3 ) any marijuana businesses in areas zoned for residential use . In addition , a local government could establish further restrictions , such as completely banning marijuana businesses , if such restrictions are approved Individuals Previously Convicted of Marijuana Crimes . The measure requires the immediate release of offenders serving prison , jail , parole , or probation terms for cultivating or possessing marijuana , including those convicted of possession with the intent to sell . In addition , offenders currently serving felony sentences for certain marijuana - related crimes that the measure reclassifies as misdemeanors or infractions would be eligible for resentencing . For example , an offender serving a sentence for transporting marijuana or providing marijuana to a minor would be eligible to be resentenced to either a misdemeanor or an infraction . However , a court would not Authorization of Criminal Penalties . The measure creates various new marijuana - related crimes . For example , under the measure it would be a misdemeanor crime punishable by a fine of up to $ 2,500 and / or up to a year in county jail to sell more than specified amounts of marijuana in a manner that is not authorized by the measure ( such as without a proper license ) . It would also be a misdemeanor crime to make a false statement when applying for a marijuana business license . In addition , the measure states that possessing marijuana for personal use Fiscal Effects The provisions of this measure would affect both costs and revenues for state and local governments . The magnitude of the these effects would depend upon ( 1 ) the extent to which the U.S. DOJ exercises its discretion to enforce federal prohibitions on marijuana activities otherwise permitted by this measure and ( 2 ) how , and to what extent , state and local governments choose to regulate and tax the commercial production and sale of marijuana . Thus , the potential revenue and expenditure impacts of this measure described below are subject to considerable uncertainty . Reduction in Various Criminal Justice Costs . The measure would result in reduced costs to the state and local governments by reducing the number of marijuana offenders incarcerated in state prisons and county jails , as well as the number placed under community supervision ( such as county probation ) . In addition , the measure would result in a reduction in state and local costs for the enforcement of marijuana - related offenses and the handling of related criminal cases in the state court system . The above reductions would be offset somewhat in the short - term by a temporary increase in costs to state trial courts and state and local law enforcement agencies to ( 1 ) destroy records of arrest and conviction for certain marijuana - related crimes , ( 2 ) resentence individuals serving felony sentences for certain marijuana - related crimes , and ( 3 ) reclassify the felony convictions of individuals convicted of certain marijuana - related crimes . In total , we estimate that the net reduction in state and local criminal justice costs from the above changes could eventually range from the tens of millions of dollars to potentially exceeding $ 100 million annually . In many cases , however , these resources would likely be redirected to other law enforcement and court activities . Other Fiscal Effects on State and Local Programs . The measure could also have fiscal effects on various other state and local programs . For example , the measure could result in an increase in the consumption of marijuana , potentially resulting in an unknown increase in the number of individuals seeking publicly funded substance abuse treatment . This measure could also potentially reduce both the costs and offsetting revenues of the state โ s Medical Marijuana Program , a patient registry that identifies those individuals eligible under state law to legally purchase and consume marijuana for medical purposes . This is because individuals could legally possess marijuana under Effects on State and Local Revenues . Assuming passage of the measure does not result in a significant change in the federal government โ s enforcement activities , the measure would result in increased governmental revenues . First , state and local governments would receive additional revenues , such as sales and business license taxes , from marijuana sales permitted under this measure . This is because many individuals who are currently purchasing marijuana illegally could begin purchasing it legally under state law at businesses that collect such taxes . In addition , the state would also receive revenue from excise taxes imposed on recreational marijuana by In addition , the measure could result in an increase in taxable economic activity in the state , as businesses and individuals currently producing and selling marijuana illegally could begin doing so legally under state law and pay personal income and corporation taxes . Moreover , the measure would increase economic activity in the state to the extent that out - of - state consumers redirect spending into the state . The magnitude of the net increase in economic activity is unknown and would depend considerably on the extent to which the federal government enforces marijuana laws in California . In total , our best estimate is that the state and local governments could eventually collect net additional revenues of up to several hundred million dollars annually . Effect on Fine and Asset Forfeiture Revenues . The measure could reduce state and local revenues from the collection of the fines established in current law for marijuana offenses and the assets that are forfeited in some criminal marijuana cases . We estimate that these revenues could amount to millions or low tens of millions of dollars annually . This could be somewhat offset , however , by additional fine revenue generated from the new penalties created by the measure ( such as for violating regulations established by the board ) . Summary of Fiscal Effects . We estimate that this measure would have the following major fiscal effects , which could vary considerably depending on ( 1 ) future actions by the federal government to enforce federal marijuana laws and ( 2 ) how , and to what extent , state and local governments choose to tax and regulate the commercial production and sale of marijuana . Net reduced costs ranging from tens of millions of dollars to potentially exceeding $ 100 million annually to state and local governments related to enforcing certain marijuana - related offenses , handling the related criminal cases in the court system , and incarcerating and supervising certain marijuana offenders . Net additional state and local tax revenues of potentially up to several hundred million dollars annually related to the production and sale of marijuana , a portion of which is required to be spent on drug education and counseling services , water supply and quality projects , research related to the medical use of marijuana , and regulation of commercial marijuana activities . | [

http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2018/ph241/li-ji2/ | Fusion Reactions in Stars ProtonProton Chain and CNO Cycle Reaction Introduction Schematics of ProtonProton Chain Reaction Source J Li after Adelberger et al 2 Nuclear fusion reaction powers a star for most of its life When a protostar born from nebulae or molecular settles down it becomes a mainsequence star and fusion reaction happens in its core The primary nuclear fusion happens in the star core is the conversion of proton to helium However depended by the mass stars achieve this conversion in different ways The protonproton chain reaction dominates in stars the size of the Sun or smaller while the CarbonNitrogenOxigen CNO cycle reaction dominates in stars that are more than 13 times as massive as the Sun 1 ProtonProton Chain Reaction In the cores of lowermass mainsequence stars such as the Sun the dominant energy production process is the protonproton chain reaction This creates a He4 nucleus through a sequence of chain reactions that begin with the fusion of two protons to form a deuterium nucleus along with an ejected positron and neutrino During this process two hydrogen atoms are firstly merged together into a deuterium atom which can then be merged with another hydrogen to form He3 Then two of the He3 nuclei can be merged together to form a He4 atom This whole reaction releases a large amount of CNO Cycle Reaction Fig 2 Schematics of CNO Cycle Reaction Source J Li after Wiescher et al 4 In highermass stars the dominant energy production process is the CNO cycle which is a catalytic cycle that uses nuclei of carbon nitrogen and oxygen as intermediaries and in the end produces a helium nucleus as with the protonproton chain CNO reaction is a very temperature sensitive process 3 Under typical conditions found in stars catalytic hydrogen burning by the CNO cycles is limited by proton captures Specifically the timescale for beta decay of the radioactive nuclei produced is faster than the timescale for fusion Thus this kind of CNO cycle converts hydrogen to helium slowly and is called cold Summary The type of hydrogen fusion process that dominates in a star is determined by the temperature dependency differences between the two reactions The protonproton chain reaction starts at temperatures about 4 10 6 K making it the dominant fusion mechanism in smaller stars A selfmaintaining CNO chain requires a higher temperature of approximately 16 10 6 K but thereafter it increases more rapidly in efficiency as the temperature rises than does the protonproton reaction Above approximately 17 10 6 K the CNO cycle becomes the dominant source of energy 5 Jiachen Li The author warrants that the work is the authors own and that Stanford University provided no input other than typesetting and referencing guidelines The author grants permission to copy distribute and display this work in unaltered form with attribution to the author for noncommercial purposes only All other rights including commercial rights are reserved to the author Reference 1 M Salaris and S Cassisi Evolution of Stars and Stellar Populations Wiley 2005 2 E G Adelberger et al Solar Fusion Cross Sections II The pp Chain and CNO Cycles Rev Mod Phys 83 195 2011 3 B E Reddy Principles and Perspectives in Cosmochemistry Springer 2010 4 M Wiescher et al The Cold and Hot CNO Cycles Annu Rev Nucl Part Sci 60 381 2010 5 N Reid and S Hawley New Light on Dark Stars Red Dwarfs LowMass Stars Brown Dwarfs 2nd Ed Springer 2005 | [

http://largependulumwave.nl/?page_id=34 | How it works โฆ The Large Pendulum Wave is a kinetic light art installation based on physical laws . There are no tricks ( such as additional motors ) involved . The Pendulum Wave is a physical phenomenon based on a number of independent pendulums that are very accurately adjusted concerning swinging period ( or frequency ) . On a steady frame 15 pendulums are mounted . Each pendulum can swing independently from each other . Due to the different length of each pendulum the swinging frequency is different for each pendulum . Once the frequencies are very accurately adjusted according to a mathamatical sequence , the pendulums produce a dance of standing and running waves and quasi chaos . Most common is the small version that has 12 or 15 When things are scaled up , as always , nothing seems to be the same anymore and solutions needs to be found . This is where the fun starts โฆ A brief overview of the issues we encountered and the solutions to tackle them , can be found below . Small vs Large version The small version with pendulums of approximately 30cm is relatively easy to build ( for more info see chapter โ Links โ ) . With some patience it is a wonderful do - it - yourself installation to make . When scaling up to the size presented here , several challenges appear : โ How to keep the sequence relatively fast โ How to deal with friction in the bearings โ How to calibrate the swinging period of each pendulum โ How to bring to pendulums into position โ How to let go the pendulums at the same time โ How to stop the pendulums after the sequence โ And many minor issues How to keep the sequence relatively fast The swinging period of a pendulum is depending of the length and independent of it โ s mass . As a pendulum of approximately 30cm has a swinging period of about 1 second . A pendulum of 400cm โฆ has a swinging period of about 4 seconds . This means that the sequence would increase from 1 minute to 4 minutes , which would make it less spectacular . Without adding external forces to the pendulum a simple method to speed up the long pendulum is to put a relatively large mass somewhere in the middle of the pendulum . How to deal with friction in the bearings If the pendulums have pivoting points with variable friction coefficient , it is not possible to calibrate the swinging periods and consequently the patterns do not appear in the sequence . In the large version the bearings become even more important because of the longer sequence time . For the small version the pendulums are often made of a small mass hanging on two strings . As mentioned above , strings are not possible as we want to speed up the swinging periods using a heavy mass on a rigid pendulum pipes . A bearing โ queeste โ eventually led How to calibrate the swinging period of each pendulum Each pendulum has it โ s own swinging period that needs to be constant within 5 ms over the entire sequence of 3 minutes . If the deviation is more the patterns wo n โ t appear as beautiful as they could be . The first step is to accurately measure the swinging period of each independent pendulum . Close to the bearing at the top of the pendulum a optical switch is mounted that registers each pass of the pendulum . After adding some data analysis a swinging period is sent to the PC . Step two is to How to bring to pendulums into position The pendulums must be brought to a postion of about 25 ยฐ from their vertical position . From that point it โ s important to release all 15 pendulums at exactly the same time . With the small version one can use a metal / wooden bar and push or pull the pendulums into position and to let them go , quickly pull down the bar . With the large version this can not be manually performed . The15 pendulums at 25 ยฐ weigh 450kg together ! The solution was found by a 12m wide motorised see - saw mounted How to let go the pendulums at the same time Underneath this see - saw 15 electromagnets can be activated to pick up the pendulums and pull them upwards . Once the see - saw is in position ( @ 25 ยฐ ) the electromagnets are switched off by a relais and all 15 pendulums are released instantaneously . How to stop the pendulums after the sequence After one sequence the pendulums can be easily stopped by hand with the small version . With the large version this needs some extra tooling . Once the sequence is finished , a brake mounted on the see - saw are automatically brought into the right angle towards the pendulums . The brake consists of a rubber band that gently decreases the amplitudes of the pendulums towards standstill position . The electromagnets can now grab the pendulums without causing any hard collisions that could damage the air bearings or RGB spots inside the spheres . . | [
