Illustrating Casual Sexism in Science
Little sexist comments are a big issue that can be difficult to talk about. These illustrations help strike at how such comments can harm and can serve as a starting place for conversations.

By Bailey Bedford 10 December 2018
Imagine that you're a man and a principal investigator of a group researching geodynamics. It is a normal day at a conference where you and your team—who happen to be women—are presenting your research at a major international science conference. You're excited to share your results on your group's new data assimilation technique.
A man approaches you and asks, "Did you come with your harem?"
How would you respond? For Nicolas Coltice, the principal investigator of a geoscience group focused on studying the state and evolution of Earth's mantle in a 5-year project funded by the European Research Council (ERC), this is not a hypothetical. This situation actually happened to him at the 2015 European Geosciences Union (EGU) conference when his team consisted of four women.

Coltice, who was not with his team when the comment was made, had faced this type of comment before. He immediately asked the questioner to explain what he meant, making it clear that the remark was inappropriate.
But when Coltice and his team discussed this and similar events, they decided that more needed to be done.
Their eventual response? To start documenting and sharing such instances of casual sexism in academic environments and in an eye-catching way: through illustrations.
They call their effort Did This Really Happen? to capture the bafflement and sense of surreal that those on the receiving end of casual sexism feel after an incident has just happened.
The name "really represents our attitude when we faced this kind of sexist behaviors," said Maëlis Arnould, a Ph.D. candidate in ERC's Augury group and member of the project. "How else would one react at the remark 'Where is the rest of your harem?' Even asked as a joke during an international scientific conference?"
A Story Arc
The group initially gave a presentation about casual sexism at the 2016 EGU conference. That poster just had anecdotes and text.
But the project took its current form in 2016 when Alice Adenis joined the Augury group. Adenis, a data scientist, grew up reading her mother's collection of comics and began making her own when an internship gave her too little time to paint.
With Adenis's artistic aid, the group turned several of their own experiences into illustrated stories, which they initially posted to their lab's refrigerator and presented on a conference poster in 2017.
Now, they share the comics through Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter and archive them on a website. Through the website, readers can also share their stories so that the group can transform them into new illustrations.

When the Did This Really Happen? team chooses to illustrate a story, they work together and with the person who submitted it to ensure the "compliance and accuracy of the final comics compared with the initial testimony and message that should be conveyed in the story" and to maintain the desired level of confidentiality, explained Arnould.
Toward Thoughtful Discussion
"Each of our comics raises the question, 'And you, what would you do in such a situation?'
The goal of the project is not to shame individuals but to raise awareness of the issue and promote thoughtful discussion. "Each of our comics raises the question, 'And you, what would you do in such a situation?'—not only addressed to women but also to men potentially witnessing such a situation," Arnould explained.
"I love how the drawings can tell a story and how you can see the events happening in front of your eyes," said Adenis. "Even if the drawings are fixed on the paper."

The short strips are quicker to read than a blog post and are more likely to inspire reflection, she explained. "We live an era where information must go fast. Reading a small strip is way faster than reading a blog article and can have a much larger impact," she added.
Virginia Valian, a psychology professor at the City University of New York and director of the Gender Equity Project at Hunter College in New York City, thinks it is good that Did This Really Happen? portrays real events. But she adds that "these cartoons run the risk of portraying women as helpless victims."
"I think women often do not know how to respond either to doubts cast on their abilities or praise of their abilities," Valian continued. "It would be helpful to provide women with possible answers." She suggests that examples of appropriate responses might be beneficial after each situation.
Valian's feedback is not an uncommon response, Arnould said. However, she noted that the current goal of the project is to honestly document, rather than offer advice that might be hard to adapt to different circumstances.
"It is important for us to show how such situations have been more or less uncomfortable and perhaps even totally unpleasant, by representing exactly how women reacted in those situations," said Arnould. The group does not believe that reporting such stories paints women as victims, but rather, their real reactions of shock or hurt feelings serve to denounce the sexist behavior, she added.
Barriers Exposed
The careers of the scientists behind Did This Really Happen? have evolved, and they are now scattered across multiple continents. But they collaborate and spread information about the project when they visit other labs, attend workshops, and present at conferences. Two members of the group, Mélanie Gérault and Maëlis Arnould, will be formally presenting a talk about Did This Really Happen? Tuesday morning at AGU's Fall Meeting 2018.
"Like anything else in science, we can't solve a problem if we don't understand it," said Tracey Holloway, a cofounder of the Earth Science Women's Network who is not involved in the project. "I think this comic series is a valuable effort to communicate some of the well-known barriers facing women in science."
"Conference Classic." Credit: Alice Adenis/didthisreallyhappen.net, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
You may ask, Can one drawing make a difference? "Our initiative might be a drop in the ocean," acknowledged Arnould. "But we do truly believe and we do trust that starting from small projects like Did This Really Happen? can eventually lead to more gender equality in science."

A short, concise book in favor of honoring doubt and admitting when the answer is I dont know.In a tight, enlightening narrative, Leah Hager Cohen explores why, so often, we attempt to hide our ignorance, and why, in so many different areas, we would be better off coming clean. Weaving entertaining, anecdotal reporting with eye-opening research, she considers both the ramifications of and alternatives to this ubiquitous habit in arenas as varied as education, finance, medicine, politics, warfare, trial courts, and climate change. But its more than just encouraging readers to confess their ignorance—Cohen proposes that we have much to gain by embracing uncertainty. Three little words can in fact liberate and empower, and increase the possibilities for true communication.
Leah Hager Cohen is the author of five works of nonfiction, including TRAIN GO SORRY and I DON'T KNOW: IN PRAISE OF ADMITTING IGNORANCE (EXCEPT WHEN YOU SHOULDN'T) , and five novels, including THE GRIEF OF OTHERS, which was longlisted for the Orange Prize and the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and a finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and NO BOOK BUT THE WORLD.
She is Distinguished Writer in Residence at the College of the Holy Cross and teaches in the MFA Program in Creative Writing at Lesley University.


WOW! Passengers can search for rescue fares if stranded overseas. Or, they can get refunds if they purchased tickets with credit cards.
Yesterday, Wow! Airline declares bankruptcy after about six months of financial wrangling. Passengers are now left in the lurch. Several consumer groups are looking at how we can create some insurance for passengers with tickets on bankrupt airlines. However, no real easy or automatic workable WOW bankruptcy solutions exist. Refunds and changes to itineraries will take time and work.
Refunds for tickets purchased with credit cards should be forthcoming for anyone who simply wants a refund. However, for those who need to get to Europe making new (and probably more expensive) reservations will be necessary. Other airlines are stepping up to help affected passengers.
Those in the middle of their trips have to deal with the vagaries of rescue airfares from airlines with enough space to help the stranded passengers.
This Washington Post story by Andrea Sachs and the Points Guy post are two of the most complete stories about what airline passengers holding Wow! Airline tickets should do. One group has to look at getting refunds. The other needs to figure out how to get home.
United Airlines has become the first big U.S. carrier to begin offering "rescue" fares to stranded WOW passengers. United joins a growing list of others that already includes Aer Lingus, Icelandair, Norwegian and Virgin Atlantic. A few other carriers have rolled out their own options.

The Best Just Got Better! Once again, AAS raises the bar in the recreation of the classic electric pianos. Not only does Lounge Lizard EP-4 deliver the authentic tone of the originals, but it also preserves their action and feel.
Objeq Delay is a completely new and unique creative effect plug-in that only AAS could dream up. It combines acoustic models,with a sophisticated delay unit, analog filters and an LFO, to create a whole new category of effects processing. Objeq Delay utilizes acoustic models of a plate, beam, drumhead, and string objects to suffuse the input signal with evocative acoustic resonances. Further shaping is available via low and high-cut filters. The in-series delay can behave like a traditional delay, but it can also split the first and subsequent repeats to remodel the attack, or create intricate rhythmic patterns. An LFO module completes the package with comprehensive synth-like modulation destinations to the filter, resonator, and delay parameters.

Raymond Lister (1919–2001) was an English blacksmith/ironworker, author, artist, and a leading authority on Samuel Palmer.

Life
Lister was born and spent most of his life in Cambridge. During his career he had made the artistic ironwork for many buildings, including King's College Chapel, Cambridge, and chancel gates for a London church, founded his own publishing company, the Golden Head Press, became a member of Wolfson College, Cambridge, and was governor of the Federation of British Artists from 1972 to 1980. He came to widest public attention, outside Palmer circles, when he was called as an expert witness in the 1976 trial of Tom Keating the noted forger. He was also a noted collector of Oxford & Cambridge college stamps and private telegraph company stamps, about which he wrote books.

Clean Energy: How Much Hot Air?
NewScientist's January 28 issue is likely to unsettle clean energy advocates — but it is worth the read.
The cover article, "Power paradox: Clean might not be green forever," posits that even renewable energy can warm the planet, and eventually change climate, if we continue to ratchet up power production to serve our ever increasing demand for electricity.
It turns out that wind farms create heat, albeit a miniscule amount compared with fossil fuels or nuclear power, according to the article. Research from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign indicates that wind turbines heat the ground nearby at night, apparently caused by the turbines sucking air downward from above.
Solar panels, too, create unintended heat. The article points to a study that indicates building a 1-TW solar power plant in California's Mojave desert could raise temperatures in the air by 0.4 degrees Celsius. When dark solar panels cover light-colored sand, they warm the air and change temperature and wind patterns within a 300-kilometer radius, the article says.
Energy almost always creates some sort of waste heat, even in powering our cell phones and computers, says Eric Chaisson of the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, in the article. Electricity heats the circuits. We don't use this heat; it dissipates into the air.
Of course, this is one of those glass half-full or half-empty issues. Heat by-products are not bad thing if we make use of them. Farmers already take advantage of the localized warming caused by wind turbines to fight frost, says the article. And while solar panels may generate heat when they cover light-colored surfaces, like sand, they cool when placed over dark surfaces, like a black roof.
More importantly, we can sometimes use recycled heat instead of fossil fuels. Residential solar panels are now available that convert waste heat from the panels into useful energy for cooling a house. And for many years we've captured and used waste heat in buildings and factories through combined heat and power (CHP) and recycled industrial waste heat systems.
Plenty of need exists to channel heat energy for useful purposes, including air conditioning in the US, as our aging population continues to shift southward. Globally, about 47 percent of the energy we consume goes toward heating/cooling, with industry as the largest single user, consuming about 43 percent. Homes follow at 41 percent, then commercial and public buildings, 9% and agriculture 6%, according to the International Energy Agency.
Should we worry that renewables generate heat? Perhaps. But the impact is small. Heat from renewables poses no immediate threat. Long term, however, waste heat from all sources could become a serious contributor to climate warming, if we continue to increase our consumption of electricity at the current rate of about two percent annually, the article says.
So clearly, it would be hard to take any argument against renewable energy seriously based on its heat output – particularly since renewables can displace fossil fuels that create far more warming. But the findings do underscore the value of exploring energy efficiency measures that make use of waste heat. We hear a lot about smart power; but stay tuned assmart heat rises up as a new priority.

This week saw the annual Hot Chips conference at Stanford. While I wasn't there, what I've read indicates that the processor business is seeing some big changes. Let's look at the announcements from IBM, Sun, AMD, and Intel.
The product that got the most attention was IBM's Power 7 processor, which is designed for the company's high-end servers (you know, the machines formerly known as mainframes and minicomputers). The new chip uses 45nm process technology, and contains 1.2 billion transistors, with up to 8 cores per chip. (IBM also plans versions with four and six cores.) But what makes this chip special is a new cache architecture that uses 32MB of embedded DRAM used as a Level 3 cache–a very different way of designing the architecture that is supposed to result in faster performance, particularly when used in parallel applications. IBM says the embedded DRAM cache will have much lower latency than other Level 3 cache.
automatically in the caches of all the other cores that may use it. This processor supports serious multithreading, allowing 128 simultaneous threads, but does not have a Level 3 cache.

The PAC mini grant program provides up to $4000 for joint university/community projects focused on societal issues in Delaware through an arts and culture approach. A requirement of the grant is the inclusion of significant involvement with community partners. Work must be completed between January 1-December 31, 2019.
The Healthcare Theatre (shown above) is a unique interdisciplinary education program at the University of Delaware that helps healthcare professionals develop communication skills through interactive scenarios presented by theatre students. With this transformative approach to education, theatre students are trained to portray patients and family members so that health sciences students can practice both technical and interpersonal skills in a safe environment without compromising quality of care.
The "Same Story" Different Countries (SSDC) project seeks to promote a deeper understanding of racism as experienced in the United States and in South Africa. UD and community dancers, choreographers, composers, poets and visual artists created this multidisciplinary project with the goal to promote empathy and global understanding for audiences, participants and other community partners. The project is sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences Interdisciplinary Humanities Research Center (IHRC), in collaboration with Christina Cultural Arts Center.
The project was designed to showcase the most talented UD performing art students, alumni and faculty in an original musical productions promoting cultural understanding and exchange through the consideration of important social issues facing young Americans.
Arts and cultural community engagement projects foster global understanding and promote social change. Through participatory dance, music, theatre, visual arts, poetry and narrative, social problems are experienced. Together, community members, artists and scholars design creative solutions with empathy and courage.

Fianna Fáil Kerry Senator Mark Daly has hit out at Fine Gael and Labour for persisting with sweeping cuts to further education that will result in the loss of around 8 teachers at institutes of further education across Kerry.
Senator Daly was commenting after Government TDs voted down a Fianna Fáil motion in the Dáil calling for a reversal of the 'highly regressive' cuts to further education. According to Senator Daly, the cuts in funding for VECs and PLC colleges announced in Budget 2013, along with the cuts to training allowances and the Back to Education Allowance will result in a significant reduction in student places on PLCs and in the number of courses available.
"As a result of Budget 2013, 4 whole time teaching posts will be cut at colleges of further education in Kerry. These posts are mostly filled by part-time teachers, so it is likely that around 8 teachers could be lost across Kerry," explained Senator Daly.
"Across the country, about 400 specialised PLC teachers will be dropped from the system as a result of these cuts. There is no doubt that students here in Kerry and across the country will suffer as a result.
"The latest statistics show there are 16,322 people on the Live Register in Kerry, 2,327 of whom are under the age of 25. These people are looking for work opportunities at home, and the specialised courses and training offered by our institutes of further education provide much needed opportunities. It is a grave mistake to persist with plans to water down this sector when little or nothing has been done to tackle the jobs crisis.
"Last week in the Dáil, Fine Gael and Labour Deputies had chance to show that they are in fact committed to supporting job-seekers and tackling educational disadvantage. It is deeply disappointing that they refused to recognise the hugely damaging impact of their decision and are persisting with measures that will have a significant impact on students and job seekers into the future," Senator Daly said.

KARACHI: PTI's leader Naeemul Haq has recently caused an uproar by slapping PML-N's leader, Daniyal Aziz, on live television.
Regardless, let's take a trip down memory lane to remember all those other instances where famous people violently lashed out on others and were recorded by the media as well.
First on this list is the time when PTI's leader, Naeemul Haq lashed out on another political opponent. He famously threw a glass on the face of PPP's Jamil Soomro, prompting the world's lamest phadda. It seems fitting that Naeemul Haq has two spots in this list.
The second most famous slap in the history of slaps (at least, in our opinion) was the incident that coined the term 'How can she slap?' It was the moment when most men realized how important equality is (if she slapped him, she deserves a slap in return). We wish that sense of equality had lasted all these years. Nevertheless, let's at least celebrate the ONE time desi men genuinely believe that we're all equal.
Still, Naeemul Haq's slap deserves special recognition because there is simply no justification for it.
Who is Orya Maqbool Jan and what exactly is going on with him?


So I've been at this blogging thing for just over a year now and if you judge by page hits, it's going well, and if you judge by my enjoyment of it, it's going well, but if you go by number of blog posts recently, it is the pits.
Because here we are, a year after that first post, and it is once again Advent. It was a seriously nutty time last year, and I determined about a month ago to make it less-so this year. To really revel in the gift of baby Jesus. To focus on that. To not feel rushed. To savor.
I keep finding my lips forming the word "yes" when what I really mean to say is "NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!" It's like I am not even controlling the words coming out of my mouth.
Class Christmas Party? (Times two...so far. I know number three is coming) Apple cider? Craft for 28? Yes, yes, yes!
Birthday party? We will be there.
Oh, and I pretty much killed Christmas when I answered the girls' questions with the truth that no, our Elf does not move each night by magic and no, Santa does not come down our chimney.
And just now, when I went to grab my laptop, Preston asked me to get him a drink, which I did, and then when I sat on the floor beside him he patted my head and told me to get in the kitchen and make him some chicken wings. He's still alive, but barely.
Next week is no different, because My Redneck is going to live at his school while they play host to a week-long basketball tournament. I expect to see him never.
And there are multiple parties to which we have been invited.
Even in the girls knowing the truth about Santa and the Elf on The Dadgum Shelf has been blessing. This year has been more about the coming of Jesus, why He came, why He had to come and how amazing that He did, than ever before. My second grader literally read Luke 2 straight from her Bible on the way to school today. Just because she wanted to.
And tonight was calm, a balm for our little family, a moment of Christmas on an ordinary weekday. An evening of nothing but the fire, the tree, the story of the Birth.
So tonight I decided that instead of trying to have an entirely peaceful Advent and being disappointed every time my phone chimes with a text/email/phone call (I mean, who calls anymore??) I will go with it. My prayer each morning when I wake up (well, after coffee) is, "Lord, I give you my day." So when things come that I don't expect, I know they are His things.
I will look for Christmas Moments throughout this season of Advent.
Like the seven year old reading the Bible on the way to school.
Like time spent with My People around the table making ornaments of Zechariah and Elizabeth and telling them the story of another miracle baby.
And many more Christmas Moments that aren't falling in line with my first plan of Lying On the Couch Eating Caramels and Chex Mix All Season, but will be all the moments that make up my Christmas Season.
Like this Christmas Tree Quest across every inch of all 200 acres looking for and arguing about the nonexistent Perfect Tree. And the sweetness of these three who are truly best friends.
And the finding of the Tree. And the not breaking the phone when it fell from its precarious position.
And this beautiful man, this lover of Jesus, teaching his daughters that girls should know how to swing an axe.
And their awe as their Daddy came in and felled it in one...ok, twenty-one... thwacks.
And the sitting and watching as the flame dances, dressed in reds and yellows and blues, and burns down to the embers by which I write.
And this home, in which all the occupants are asleep save me, tucked under warm blankets and cozy comforters, kissed, and read to, and sung with, and prayed over.
And this. This woman, who was engaged, planning a wedding, visited by an angel, pregnant even though it was scientifically impossible, her finace tried to call it off, she journeyed to visit her pregnant friend whose husband was mute, wrote a song, travelled at nine months pregnant on a donkey to her husband's hometown, was refused lodging, gave birth to the Savior of the World and was forced to put Him in a feeding trough, which, speaking from experience, was most likely covered in animal saliva and chewed up and spit out bits of hay, not so much the sweet smelling clean little manger of our nativites. This woman, who was probably desperate for a Christmas Moment of her own.
And Joseph, whose head had fallen off and had to be glued back on.


Yes, it's winter, but that's not keeping these celebrities from throwing on their bathing suits and enjoying the sun. Take a look!
Jessica Alba had her family getaway in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and made headlines when she was photographed showing her bikini body.
Before returning home to LA, Sofía Vergara spent a few days soaking up the sun in Miami, where she lived for several years.
Cuban actress and model Aylín Mujica showed off her curves while shooting a TV commercial on a yacht in Miami.
Rihanna took some days off to enjoy the beautiful weather in her native Barbados. And yes, the paparazzi were watching her every move.
Actor Jude Law enjoyed a few days off swimming in the Hawaiian ocean.
People's Sexiest Man Alive Channing Tatum and wife Jenna Dewan had their dose of beach and sun in St Barts, where they enjoyed a few days off —and where Jenna showed off her growing baby bump.
Jennifer Aniston and fiancée Justin Theroux also picked Cabo for their sunny and romantic getaway.
Actress Naomi Watts and husband Liev Schreiber picked St Barts to enjoy a few warm days at the end of 2012.
Reese Witherspoon, who recently gave birth to her third child (her first with husband Jim Toth), chose Hawaii for some beach time with family and friends.
President Barack Obama also chose Hawaii when it came to getting away from the cold weather. The President and his family enjoyed a few days off in his home state.

Justice of the Church - Art 2. Punishment [addentum]
L'Eglise Aristotelicienne Romaine The Roman and Aristotelic Church Index du Forum -> Archives of the Church in England, Scotland and Ireland -> The Canon Law
Posté le: Sam Juil 14, 2007 4:58 pm Sujet du message: Justice of the Church - Art 2. Punishment [addentum]
Justice of the Church - Art 2. Punishment
1. In all instances, the object of a lawsuit brought before the justice of Church is to obtaining of the repentance or the abjuration of the condemned.
2. The punishment must be proportional to the offence, and taking in to account of the possibility of sincere repentance.
3. The punishments are pronounced only against those that have not repented and abjured or one that relapses into the same sin or did not sincerely repent and abjure, that is to say falsely repented or abjure. The punishment for those that are prominent or noble: public apology, pilgrimage, maintenance of the poor, the carrying of the cross, public flagellation, the temporary or permanent banishment from the diocese where the offense was made, the forfeiture of the duties and privileges of Church, excommunication or anathema, the broad wall, the narrow wall, or closed and solitary confinement.
4. One that is obstinate and relapsed can be delivered to the secular arm with or without recommendation.
5. Any temporal authority refusing to discharge the saintly duty to lend assistance to the justice of the Church in its combat for the triumph of the faith could be declared an accessory to the condemned, and could be the subject of a charge in front the pontifical court, in the capacity of a public figure.
6. One condemned that would not carry out the proper punishment that was inflicted to him is legally considered as being obstinate.
7. The Cardinal Primate or the Vidame of the ecclesiastical province on the territory of which was marked the sentence (if nominated) has responsibility to supervise its proper implementation.
8. Excommunication: Excommunication is the most severe punishment against an Aristotelian; he looses all his rights as an Aristotelian including all offices held within the church and all sacramental states such as baptised, married, or ordained. In the ZG Anglophone, only the Pope, the Curia or the ESPC, (depending on whom originally declared the excommunication) can lift the state excommunication.
8-bis Clergy and the Excommunicated:
Since there can be no fellowship between light and dark, no member of the clergy should have any relationship with the excommunicated, unless the excommunicated asks for redemption. This includes that no clergy member should appear on a political list of candidates with an excommunicated member. Furthermore, clergy members should in general shun the excommunicated in public settings so that they may be taught the need to repent.
If an excommunicated member seeks redemption, the clergy member may council with him and lead him back into the Aristotelian friendship. The clergy member will be allowed to speak with him until such time as the Curia or the ESPC decides to lift or not lift the sanctions against the excommunicated.
9. Capital punishment: the Church does not punish any human with execution. As was stated above in the 4th section, the obstinate and relapsed could be given to the secular authority. In some extreme cases, the ecclesiastic court could advise the temporal authorities to definitively keep the guilty from ever again plaguing the Aristotelian Community.

When You Need A Professional Plumber :: Things To Know About Electrical and Plumbing. The Services, The Best Contractors and Everything Else.
Sometimes you can manage certain calamities around the home yourself. I'm sure sometimes you unclog drain or fix your garbage disposal but in some cases you need the services of a professional plumber to help you fix certain issues.
If you are lucky you can hire a professional plumbing company that is in your neighborhood. I did this myself and used the Hickory, NC Professional Plumbers services in the past.
Not only will they be able to get to you faster but he will probably know a lot about the house where you live and what the plumbing installation looks like.
A professional plumber will usually provide a large variety of services. These will include the usual plumbing repairs to drains and pipes as well as faucet repairs, water heater repair and replacement when necessary. He will repair your toilet, drains, water pipes, leaks and even the dishwasher. Basically everything in your home or garden that has to do with water, a plumber can help you.
If you have decided to update your bathroom a plumber can install the bath, shower, sink and toilet. Not only that but he can advise you which fixtures are best for your situation. There are so many different faucets, shower heads and bath tubs, for example, that the choice is often overwhelming. This is when a plumber can help you to navigate through these fixtures to choose ones that are suitable and won't cost an arm and a leg.
When there is a problem with water in a home, it can cause a lot of damage unless it is repaired quickly. Often we don't even know exactly where to shut the water supply off. Even small leaks can cause havoc. If you have a leaky shower, for example, this can cause considerable damage behind the tiles and mold may develop. Mold is toxic and should be avoided at all costs. A plumber can work miracles for you.
A plumber has to go through a specialized training in order to become licensed. A typical apprenticeship program requires around 144 hours or more of classroom instruction each year of the program as well as on-site training with a certified plumbing company. This can take up to four or five years. Professional plumbers are highly skilled specialists in their field. While they are learning their trade, they will have years on working with skilled plumbers and will find out ways and workarounds to fix certain issues and install fixtures as well as learning using books, etc. in the classroom.

Head to xshot and put an XShot in your cart then just enter SparkRocks when you checkout. Hurry though, the promo code lasts till July 15th.
When I went to Box Seats with Derek and Neil I used my XShot to snag this picture.
We had a really good night, eating chicken wings, talking about movies, and old stories, new stories and life in general. It was a great time with the guys.
Before we went into Box Seats Neil gave me a birthday present that he and Andrea got for me. It was an OptiMash Prime. Neil has known me since I signed a grade school yearbook Andrew "Transformer" B. And so both he and Derek were wondering if I could contain my excitement till the movie came out. I told them that I was going to be int he paper again. I had been setting up my collection for the past two days. I'm pretty much telling everyone about the movie and that I am going to see it Twice a week from tonight. Here is OptiMash Prime.
ok seriously…you can't EVER say no to Sparky getting bareminerals ever again. wow. i thought we were obsessed. fantastic job there!! i'm impressed!

I got a few TMNT figures back int he day, Donatello was my favorite. I loved the most recent movie and was a big time TMNT fan too. But as far as collecting figures, TF was my thing, hands down.
Yeah, Thanks Mo, you're a peach!
Been collecting for years. So yes, huge collection.

I may talk from time to time about mountain goats. If you have ever been fortunate enough to witness these majestic creatures in the wild you will undoubtedly understand the nearly universal reaction: "How in the world did they get THERE!?!"

Just a short distance from Clark's Marsh is a grassland area next to the airport runway. Road access from the former Wurtsmith Air Force Base makes travel by car or foot easy. During the breeding season Eastern Meadowlark, American Kestrel, Upland Sandpiper, Northern Harrier, Savannah and Grasshopper Sparrows are commonly observed. Spring migrants include the Horned Lark and Vesper Sparrow. The paved road along the grasslands provides excellent views and photo opportunities right from your car. Some areas are restricted, so watch for signs.

Unilever expands Burger King tie-up to launch plant-based Whopper in Latin America, China
By Siddharth Cavale
FILE PHOTO: The company logo for Unilever is displayed on a screen on the floor of the NYSE
(Reuters) -Unilever Plc said on Wednesday it had expanded its partnership with Burger King to supply its plant-based meat patties for Whopper burgers at restaurants in Latin America, China and the Caribbean.
The plant-based Whopper is made using patties from Vegetarian Butcher, a company acquired by Unilever in 2019.
With this deal, the Dove soap and Hellmann's mayonnaise maker has expanded its partnership with the fast-food chain. The partnership started last year with the launch of the Rebel Whopper burger in Europe.
Burger King sells several meat-free versions of its popular Whopper burger, including one from Impossible Meats in the United States.
The Plant-based Whopper will be available in 325 Burger King outlets in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hangzhou in China from Wednesday.
Vegetarian Butcher aims to launch it in an additional 1,300 Burger King restaurants in China in the second quarter of 2021, CEO Hugo Verkuil told Reuters.
China's plant-based meat market is expected to grow to $12 billion by 2023 from just under 10 billion in 2018, according to Euromonitor.
Plant-based Whopper was launched in Mexico last month and has already started appearing on Burger King menus in markets including, Costa Rica, Colombia, Bahamas and the Dominican Republic over the last couple of weeks.
The burger's pricing is expected to be similar to its beef counterpart in these markets, though prices may vary among franchises.
Unilever will supply patties to these markets through its production centers in Europe, but plans are underway to launch manufacturing facilities in China and Latin America to speed up expansion in these markets, Verkuil said.
The deal comes just weeks after the London-based consumer goods conglomerate set a 1 billion euro sales target for its plant-based meat and dairy products over the next five to seven years.

Black CNN Reporter is Arrested on Live TV While Covering the Minneapolis Protests
Selena Hill May 30, 2020 May 30, 2020 8163
CNN reporter Omar Jimenez Arrest (screen shot via YouTube/CNN)
CNN reporter Omar Jimenez was arrested early Friday morning by the Minnesota State Patrol as he and his colleagues were reporting on the ongoing protests in Minneapolis.
Jimenez, who is black and Latinx, was led away in handcuffs while he was live on air covering the demonstrations over the death of George Floyd by police on Monday. After the officers approached the journalists during the broadcast, the team responded by identifying themselves as reporters and asked the authorities where they wanted them to relocate.
"We can move back to where you'd like. We can move back to where you'd like here. We are live on the air at the moment," Jimenez told the officers moments before he was taken into custody on live TV. "We're getting out of your way. So, just let us know. Wherever you'd want us, we will go. We were just getting out of your way when you were advancing through the intersection. Let us know and we've got you."
In response, two police officers put Jimenez in handcuffs without offering an explanation although he asked several times why he was being arrested. His cameraman, who is white, and producer, who is Hispanic, were also detained shortly thereafter.
According to CNN, the arrests were a "clear violation of their First Amendment rights." CNN reported that network president Jeff Zucker spoke with Gov. Tim Walz, who "deeply apologized" for the "unacceptable" arrests. Jimenez and his crew were released from police custody that same morning.
A CNN reporter & his production team were arrested this morning in Minneapolis for doing their jobs, despite identifying themselves – a clear violation of their First Amendment rights. The authorities in Minnesota, incl. the Governor, must release the 3 CNN employees immediately.
— CNN Communications (@CNNPR) May 29, 2020
Gov. Walz also apologized for the incident during a press conference later that day. "In a situation like this, even if you're clearing an area, we have got to ensure that there is a safe spot for journalism to tell the story. The issue here is trust," he said. He added that there was "absolutely no reason something like this should happen".
CNN commentator Bakari Sellers called out Minneapolis police over Jimenez's arrest, noting that Jimenez complied with police and that a white CNN reporter on the scene was not arrested.
"We saw a reporter who is educated, who is brown, who is doing his job better than anybody around, was in harm's way, letting the American people see what's going on on the ground. He complied, he said he would move, and you know his family's heart is beating right now because he is locked up in prison and killers are still roaming the streets free," Sellers said, according to Mediaite.
He went on to note that "at CNN we have a white reporter on the ground, and we have a brown reporter on the ground. They are a block apart. The brown reporter is arrested, and the white reporter is telling us what's happening."
Sellers added, "You almost have to laugh not to just be furious, because this is America in 2020, and I hate to be cheesy, but the revolution literally is being televised."

The New Dodge Demon with 840-horsepower
June 6th, 2017	by Columbia CDJR
In nearly every aspect, the Dodge Demon is a record breaker: the highest horsepower of any production car, the highest g-force by a production car, and the world's fast production car from 0 to 60. The Dodge Demon is exactly what you want if you want the most powerful vehicle available on the production market. In fact, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon has been paced against a $1.6 million exotic car – and won.
The Most Powerful Production Car on the Market
The Dodge Demon is the world's fastest 1/4 mile production car, making it an absolute necessity for those who put power first. The supercharged 6.2L HEMI SRT Demon V8 engine is able to deliver an incredible 840 HP, which is further served by the air-grabber Hood Scoop and the Torque Reserve Launch System. Racing-ready wheels are designed for drag strip performance, and the vehicle on a whole has been designed specifically with drag racing in mind. Additional records include the first wheelie by a production car. A new after-run chiller and power chiller ensures that the engine remains cold, and the engine itself is the first out of all production cars to run on 100+ high-octane racing fuel.
A "Sinister Appearance" Brings out the Demon in Dodge
Red and black make the Dodge Demon appear to be absolutely sinister and imposing – and that's exactly what Dodge is going for with this incredible new machine. Low to the ground and with a wide body, the Demon is purpose built to be an aggressive, menacing vehicle, in addition to operating as an elite performance machine. More muscle than sport, the Dodge Demon features a deep black, flat grille, coal black tires, and a functional and impressive Air-Grabber hood scoop. This is a vehicle that is intended to catch eyes wherever it's seen.
Despite all of these stylings, the Dodge Demon has been constructed to be incredibly light, at 4,280 pounds. When purchased standard, the Dodge Demon also only comes with a single driver's seat – though passenger seats can be added if desired. Only a few thousand of the Challenger Demons will be sold throughout the United States, which also makes them an incredibly sought after car. It will only be sold through a few choice dealerships located throughout North America.
With both an incredible psychological and physical impact, the new Dodge Demon offers everything that a drag racer could desire. Not only is the machine itself incredibly powerful, but it also has a bold, unique, and impressively aggressive design. Shattering nearly all of the current performance-related records in production cars, the Dodge Demon has separated itself from the pack — and made it possible for its owners to separate themselves from the pack. Only a few thousand will be available, and the price for the Dodge Demon will not be announced until the middle of 2017.
