Alternative School Attendance Project (ASAP): Consistent attendance is vital to student outcomes in school, and so a significant body of research explores factors that assist or hinder young people in attending school regularly. But what about young people who have already dropped out or been expelled from school and are now attending alternative schools in an attempt to earn a high school degree? These students face many special circumstances that can hinder attendance, often the very same factors which led them to leave or be pushed out of school in the first place. Using semi-structured qualitative interviews, this study explores the unique experiences of students enrolled in one urban alternative school and the barriers they face that can make attendance challenging for them.
Consent Scripts in Middle School: Issues of sexual assault and harassment often reveal that many individuals in our society remain unfamiliar with the notion of consent. Many interventions intended to address this problem through education occur in the college or university setting--after most students have already developed romantic and sexual values and behaviors. This study focuses on the middle grades, when many young people begin to cultivate a sense of ethics and normative understandings of social interactions, including intimate relationships. The participants are a racially diverse sample of low-income urban seventh- and eighth-graders. The project aims to address a significant gap in the literature by providing a baseline understanding of middle school students' ideas and opinions regarding consent for both scholars and practitioners to think critically about how to intervene in what has become a significant and pervasive societal problem. Supported by the Spencer Foundation.
Chicago Public Schools and Lead Contamination: In 2016, over over one hundred Chicago Public Schools tested positive for the presence of lead in their water last year. This study explores whether there are discernible patterns regarding the presence of lead and the racial and socioeconomic composition of the school and/or the surrounding community, both in the present and in the past.

\section{Appendix}
\subsection{Appendix A}
The investigated system of the three magnetic impurities yields boundary conditions at the points $x=0,\pm L/2$. Applying the methods of Refs. \cite{1, 2}, we obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{Eq:BC1}
\left(1\pm\sigma_y\right)\Psi(\mp L/2)=0.
\end{eqnarray}
Moreover, we identify a boundary condition at $x=0$, conneting the regions A and B in the case of finite magnetic strength $m$, by
\begin{equation}
\label{Eq:BC3}
\begin{split}
\Psi(0^+)=\lbrace\cosh(m/v_F)\\
-\sinh(m/v_F)\left(\sigma_y
\cos(\theta)+\sigma_x\sin(\theta)\right)\rbrace\Psi(0^-).
\end{split}
\end{equation}
Using Eqs. (\ref{Eq:BC1}) and (\ref{Eq:BC3}) as well as the ansatz
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{AppendixEq:Ansatz}
\Psi_{n,\alpha}(x)=\Psi_{n,\alpha,A}(x)\theta(-x)\theta(x+L/2)\nonumber\\
+\Psi_{n,\alpha,B}(x)\theta(x)\theta(-x-L/2)
\end{eqnarray}
with
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{AppendixEq:Ansatz1}
\Psi_{n,\alpha,\lambda}(x)=\begin{pmatrix}
a_{\lambda,\alpha}e^{iqx}\\
b_{\lambda,\alpha}e^{-iqx}\\
\end{pmatrix},
\end{eqnarray}
we have one free parameter in calculating the coefficients $a_{\lambda,\alpha}$ and  $b_{\lambda,\alpha}$. With no loss of generality, we choose $a_{A,\alpha}=1/c_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta)$, with the normalization factor $c_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta)$ and $\alpha=\pm$. Straight forward algebra leads to the solutions
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{Eq:Parameterb}
b_{A,\alpha}&=&\frac{-i\exp(-i\phi_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta))}{c_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta)},\nonumber\\
a_{B,\alpha}&=&\frac{\cosh(\beta)+\sinh(\beta)\exp\lbrace i\left(\theta-\phi_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta)\right)\rbrace}{c_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta)},\nonumber\\
b_{B,\alpha}&=&\frac{-i\left\lbrace\sinh(\beta)\exp\left(-i\theta\right)+\cosh(\beta)\exp\left(-i\phi_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta)\right)\right\rbrace}{c_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta)}.\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
The quantity $\phi_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta)$ is part of the quantization of $q_{n,\alpha}$ (see Eq. (\ref{Eq:Quantization3Impurities}) of the main text).
The normalization constants $c_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta)$ can be calculated as
\begin{eqnarray}
c_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta)=\sqrt{(1+h_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta))L}\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
with $h_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta)$ given by
\begin{eqnarray}
h_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta)=\frac{1}{2}\lbrace\cosh^2(\beta)+\sinh^2(\beta)+\nonumber\\
\sinh(\beta)\cosh(\beta
)\cos(\theta-\phi_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta))\rbrace.\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
\subsection{Appendix B}
To calculate the commutator of the partial charge operators
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{AppendixB1}
\hat{Q}_{\lambda}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda\int_{0}^{\lambda L/2}dx \left[\hat{\Psi}^{\dagger}(x),\hat{\Psi}(x)\right],
\end{eqnarray}
and the Hamiltonian, we first rewrite Eq. (\ref{AppendixB1}) in momentum representation, using an eigenfunction expansion of the field operators in terms of the wave functions specified in App. A
\begin{equation}
\label{AppendixB2}
\hat{Q}_{\lambda}=\lambda\int_{0}^{{\lambda}L/2}dx~\frac{1}{2}\sum_{n,m,\alpha,\beta}\Psi_{n,\alpha}^{\dagger}(x)\Psi_{m,\beta}(x)\left[\hat{c}^{\dagger}_{n,\alpha},\hat{c}_{m,\beta}\right].
\end{equation}
This directly leads to the form
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
\hat{Q}_{\lambda}=\sum_{n,\alpha}L\vert a_{\alpha}\vert^2\left(\hat{c}^{\dagger}_{n,\alpha}\hat{c}_{n,\alpha}-\frac{1}{2}\right)+\\
\sum_{n,m,\alpha}\lambda\int_{0}^{\lambda L/2}dx~\Psi^{\dagger}_{n,\alpha}(x)\Psi_{m,-\alpha}(x)\hat{c}^{\dagger}_{n,\alpha}\hat{c}_{m,-\alpha}.
\end{split}
\end{equation}
We define now
\begin{equation}
F_{\lambda,\alpha}(\beta,\theta,n,m)=\lambda\int_{0}^{\lambda L/2}dx~\Psi^{\dagger}_{n,\alpha}(x)\Psi_{m,-\alpha}(x).
\end{equation}
With the use of the explicit eigenfunctions $\Psi_{n,\alpha}(x)$, we obtain the functions $F_{\lambda,\alpha}(\beta,\theta,l,j)$ to be
\begin{eqnarray}
F_{\lambda,\alpha}(\beta,\theta,j,l)&=&\frac{L}{2\phi_{\alpha}-2\pi(l-j)}\frac{f_{\lambda,\alpha}(\beta,\theta,j,l)}{i\vert c_+(\beta,\theta)\vert\vert c_-(\beta,\theta)\vert}\nonumber\\
\end{eqnarray}
with $l,j\in\mathcal{Z}$. The function $f_{\lambda,\alpha}(\beta,\theta,l,j)$ are given by
\begin{eqnarray}
f_{A,\alpha}(\beta,\theta,j,l)&=&e^{2i\phi_{\alpha}}-1 \; , \nonumber\\
f_{B,\alpha}(\beta,\theta,j,l)&=&2ie^{i\phi_{\alpha}}\bigg[2
\sin(\phi_{\alpha})\sin^2\left(\frac{1}{2}(l-j)\pi+\frac{1}{2}\phi_{\alpha}\right) \nonumber\\
&+&\sin\left((l-j)\pi+\phi_{\alpha}\right)\big(\cos(\theta)\sinh(2\beta)
\nonumber\\
&+&\cos(\phi_{\alpha})\cosh(2\beta)\big)\bigg] \; .
\end{eqnarray}
To evaluate now the commutator of the Hamiltonian and the partial charge operators of Eq. (\ref{AppendixB2}), we first write the Hamiltonian in momentum representation, i.e.
\begin{equation}
\hat{H}=\sum_{n,\gamma=\pm}p_{n,\gamma}\hat{c}_{n,\gamma}^{\dagger}\hat{c}_{n,\gamma}.
\end{equation}
Thus, the commutator of $\hat{H}$ and the partial charge operators of Eq. (\ref{AppendixB2}) read
\begin{equation}
\label{Eq:PartialCharge3MagImp5}
\begin{split}
\left[\hat{H},\hat{Q}_{\lambda}\right]=\sum_{n,m,\alpha\neq\beta}\sum_{l,\gamma}\lambda\int_{0}^{\lambda L/2}dx~\Psi^{\dagger}_{n,\alpha}(x)\Psi_{m,\beta}(x)v_F\\
\left[p_{l,\gamma}\hat{c}_{l,\gamma}^{\dagger}\hat{c}_{l,\gamma},\hat{c}^{\dagger}_{n,\alpha}\hat{c}_{m,\beta}\right].
\end{split}
\end{equation}
The remaining commutator of fermionic creation and annihilation operators yields
\begin{equation}
\label{Eq:PartialCharge3MagImp6}
\begin{split}
\left[p_{l,\gamma}\hat{c}_{l,\gamma}^{\dagger}\hat{c}_{l,\gamma},\hat{c}^{\dagger}_{n,\alpha}\hat{c}_{m,\beta}\right]=\\
-p_{l,\gamma}\left(\hat{c}_{n,\alpha}^{\dagger}\hat{c}_{l,\gamma}\delta_{l,m}\delta_{\beta,\gamma}-\hat{c}_{l,\gamma}^{\dagger}\hat{c}_{m,\beta}\delta_{l,n}\delta_{\alpha,\gamma}\right).
\end{split}
\end{equation}
Inserting Eq. (\ref{Eq:PartialCharge3MagImp6}) into Eq. (\ref{Eq:PartialCharge3MagImp5}), we obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
\left[\hat{H},\hat{Q}_{\lambda}\right]=\sum_{n,m,\alpha\neq\beta}\lambda v_F\int_{0}^{\lambda L/2}dx~\Psi^{\dagger}_{n,\alpha}(x)\Psi_{m,\beta}(x)\nonumber\\
\hat{c}_{n,\alpha}^{\dagger}\hat{c}_{m,\beta}(p_{n,\alpha}-p_{m,\beta}).\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
Furthermore, we use that
\begin{eqnarray}
\left(p_{n,\alpha}-p_{m,\beta}\right)\frac{L}{2}=\phi_{\alpha}-\pi(n-m),\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
and finally we reach at
\begin{eqnarray}
&& \left[\hat{H},\hat{Q}_\lambda\right] \nonumber\\
&& =\sum_{n,m,\alpha=\pm}F_{\lambda,\alpha}(\beta,\theta,n,m)(2\phi_{\alpha}-2\pi(n-m))/L \nonumber\\
&& =\sum_{n,m,\alpha=\pm}\frac{v_F f_{\lambda,\alpha}(\beta,\theta,n,m)}{i\vert c_+(\beta,\theta)\vert\vert c_-(\beta,\theta)\vert}\hat{c}_{n,\alpha}^{\dagger}\hat{c}_{m,-\alpha}.\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
The commutators only vanish, if all elements of the sum vanish, i. e.
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{Eq:PartialCharge7}
f_{\lambda,\alpha}(\beta,\theta,n,m)=0.\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
With the explicit form of $f_{\lambda,\alpha}(\beta,\theta,n,m)$, for all $n,m\in\mathcal{Z}$, we then obtain the solutions
\begin{eqnarray}
\theta=\pm\arccos\left(\pm\coth(\beta)\right).\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
For any finite $\beta$, the $\coth$ yields values larger than unity. Thus, the arccos yields a complex number. In the limit $\beta\rightarrow\infty$, the coth becomes unity leading to a real angle. In that special case, however, the commutator vanishes for a different reason caused by the divergence of $\vert c_{\alpha}(\beta,\theta)\vert \vert c_{-\alpha}(\beta,\theta)\vert\sim\exp(\beta)$.

Who is the youngest f1 driver?
Is Lewis Hamilton the best ever?
Lewis Hamilton is the greatest Formula 1 driver of all time . With a staggering 84 pole positions to his name, Hamilton is the driver who has the most starts to a grand prix from first place. Another stat: he has won 30 percent of those races he has started.
Who is the greatest f1 driver of all time?
Is Mick Schumacher going to f1?
With two rounds to go in the 2020 Formula 2 campaign, Mick Schumacher heads the standings by 22 points, while the son of seven-time F1 champion Michael is hotly-tipped to bring his famous family name back to the top level of motor sport in 2021.
Is Hamilton better than Schumacher?
Hamilton has also proved more effective at winning from pole – 56 times compared to 40 for Schumacher . But there are other numbers in Schumacher's favour – he has more wins from second, and more than twice as many wins from third. At first glance, this might suggest that Schumacher was a stronger racer.

What age do f1 drivers retire?
In modern F1 , the drivers that get to choose when they retire usually do so in their mid to late 30s. In the past, drivers used to be competitive well into their 40s, but due to the professionalization of the sport that's no longer the case.
Why is Hamilton disliked?
Lewis Hamilton is generally so disliked because he is Politically Correct to an annoying degree. Nor does the way he plays political games with his team mates and his general disregard for other people's feelings endear him to me. Having said all this, I still consider him one of the best Formula 1 drivers ever.
What's wrong with Ferrari f1?
What was wrong ? Vettel said after qualifying that the Ferrari was "lacking overall grip and downforce and a bit too much down the straights – the car is a bit too draggy at the moment". Team boss Mattia Binotto talked about "miscorrelations with the design, especially on the aero".
Why is Ferrari so slow in f1 2020?
Why have Ferrari been so slow ? Ferrari's main issue is that they've lost a huge amount of straight-line speed. Why's that? Well, their current woes can be traced back to the end of 2019 – a season in which they were by far the fastest team on the straights.

Posh Italian restaurant in St James's with a loyal pinstriped clientele
61 Jermyn St,&nbspLondon,&nbspSW1Y 6LX, 020 7499 2211 Website
7 September 2020: Re-opening today.
* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.
Classic St James's Italian, whose convivial and civilised quarters amd "totally reliable food" make it "one of the best all-rounders in the area" and, in particular, "a good choice for a business lunch" (or breakfast, which is very good here). It was opened in 1946 by the Wiltons group, and emerged from a major refurb in autumn 2019 with a new bar, refreshed decor and a menu shake-up. "Despite its popularity (and vintage), it retains a freshness both in the food and the service", and while by no means cheap, regulars say "it always delivers".
"Simultaneously up-to-date and old-school" – one of London's oldest Italians (dating from 1946) makes an ideal business lunch spot in St James's, with a busy, bustling atmosphere that's formal but "not too serious", and with "excellent cooking and friendly service". Perhaps unsurprisingly, it is also rather "expensive". Top Tip: "breakfast is always good here… especially if someone else is paying!".
A "smart" interior where white linen abounds, and "very good" and courteous service are the badges of distinction at this St James's institution (one of London's oldest Italians, est 1946). "It's very pleasant, even if the lack of space between tables is not ideal" and a major favourite amongst local pinstripes. "Perfect for a working breakfast too… unless you find the whole concept abhorrent!"

Reviewed 3 months, 11 days ago
"I betray my prejudice when I say how pleasantly surprised I was to have such a good lunch in Jermyn Street. But this is a serious Italian restaurant: witness the light antipasti dishes and sensible portions of very good primi and secondi piatti so that one can enjoyably construct a proper Italian meal. Wines by the glass are well-chosen and not ridiculously priced for the area. And service is prfessional and friendly."

Under the Dome: Another Doctor Down
From the beginning of this series, the Chester's Mill residents' lack of interest in the Dome has been astounding. Barbie initially seemed curious about it, then Joe attempted to map it, but otherwise, very few townspeople have shown intrigue over the force that is keeping them separated from the rest of the world. Finally, Norrie has questions about the Dome, even though her interests are mainly self-serving. At this point it is assumed that there are no scientists or professors in the city, and that people must be keeping themselves occupied somehow, as there aren't pedestrians milling about (besides Ben) everywhere. But the houses must begin to stink, as there's been no power to keep refrigeration going, and probably no trash pickup, either. (This makes Harriet's yogurt consumption really suspicious!) Still, the folks who are seen continue to make poor choices, like Linda telling uber-intense Junior about Angie's attempted rapists, then allowing him to have a gun as they chase down the boys. The logical issues with this drama seem to be getting worse, which forces one to question how a second season will ever exist, but perhaps the bulk of viewers are just willing to run with what is shown...
Under the Dome "Imperfect Circles" (S01E07): Norrie is curious as to how she and Joe are connected to the Dome, so they try out different things at the perimeter, but nothing works. [scaring him with a gas mask? are you kidding me??] So, they head to the center of the Dome, where they find a mini-Dome with a black egg inside, that later looks like it's "powering up." They try to talk to it, then touch it together... and Alice appears. They cover it back up and head home.
©2013 CBS Broadcasting Inc.. All Rights Reserved.
It's a good thing the kids headed back when they did, as Alice winds up passing away later that day, because of complications due to her diabetes. Before she does, though, she helps Barbie deliver Julia's neighbor's baby. [what did Harriet "seeing" her husband mean? anything? certainly not the same as Norrie seeing Alice...] Norrie cries out to the Dome to bring back her mother, but it seems only Baby Alice will live.
The reason Harriet was at Alice's was because Julia was driving the woman to the clinic when they get held at gunpoint for their gas. The same brothers who went after Angie are scared away when Barbie comes to the rescue, but he carries Harriet to Alice's and just radios Linda and Junior (whose father has forbidden him to be at home with Angie) about the men. [Barbie seems to be carrying a different person every episode... notice that??] Linda and Junior catch the brothers, but when they start to get away, Junior kills one of them, even though his life was not in danger.
Meanwhile, Angie leaves BigJim's place to go see Rose's body and learns that BigJim owns the diner. [...of course he does! let's just call the town Jim's Mill!] Ben helps Angie clean up the diner, and he stays when Junior shows up, though at least the punk isn't threatening this time. BigJim spends the day finding out that Ollie has taken charge of his propane, then killing the lackey who was enforcing the situation. [I'm starting to wonder how many people BigJim must have killed BEFORE the Dome went down!]

Van Damme to leave LA, return to Belgium
Jelle van Damme to leave LA Galaxy, return to Belgium for personal reasons
Jelle van Damme is set to leave the LA Galaxy to return to Belgium for personal reasons, club president Chris Klein has confirmed.
Belgian news outlet HLN and the Los Angeles Times both reported on Wednesday that the 33-year-old was on the verge of signing a two-year contract with Royal Antwerp.
Klein told "Soccer Weekly" on ESPNLA 710 that the defender wanted to be with his two children and suggested the situation had affected his play this season.
"Jelle has made it clear that he wants to go home for personal reasons, and he misses his kids," Klein said. "So we're still working through it.
"It's not an ideal situation for us, for Jelle, but there are things when in your personal life that affect your play on the field, and we've certainly seen that at different times with Jelle this year.
"Inconsistency for us in the back has been a big problem, and I think he's been suspended for portions of eight of our games."

Klein, a former Galaxy midfielder, then highlighted a number of global situations this summer where players have pushed their clubs for transfers.
"It's never a good situation," he said, "but as they say this is football, and you look around the world, you look at what's happening with Liverpool -- Coutinho -- what happened with Neymar, what's happened with [Diego] Costa at Chelsea, and this is just part of the business that we're in."
Van Damme left Belgian club Standard Liege to move to the Galaxy ahead of last season. He and his wife, former tennis player Elke Clijsters, announced their separation soon afterward.
The MLS club gave Van Damme a contract extension in February worth $600,000 a season, though they bought down his designated player status after signing Jonathan dos Santos this summer.
He was a finalist for MLS defender of the year last season and started the All-Star Game against Real Madrid last month.
LA will attempt to keep Van Damme for its two games remaining this month, the Times reported, before letting him move to Antwerp before the close of the European transfer window.
The Galaxy, who have conceded the second-most goals at home this season, are nine points off the Western Conference playoff spots with 11 games remaining.

Jay Panda joins BJP, 9 months after walking out of Odisha's Biju Janata Dal
Former Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MP Baijayant 'Jay' Panda, who was first suspended and then quit the party last year after being marginalised in the organisation, has joined BJP on Monday.
HT Correspondent
Hindustan Times, New Delhi
Former Biju Janata Dal MP Baijayant Jay Panda greets BJP national president Amit Shah after joining Bharatiya Janata Party, in New Delhi, Monday. (PTI)
Panda took to Twitter to announce his joining BJP, saying he had made the decision after nine months of introspection and widespread consultations with colleagues and the public. He would now work under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Nine months of introspection & widespread consultations w/colleagues & public.
Grateful for support recd from all over.
On auspicious #MahaShivratri I've decided to join @BJP4India & work under the leadership of @narendramodi Ji to serve Odisha & India to the best of my ability🙏
— Baijayant Jay Panda (@PandaJay) March 4, 2019
He joined the ruling party in the presence of Union minister and BJP leader Dharmendra Pradhan in New Delhi. He later met BJP president Amit Shah at the BJP headquarters in the capital.
At a press conference, Panda tore into his former party, saying the governance under Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik had deteriorated sharply in recent years.
"I have admired Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and direction in which he is taking the country and also BJP president Amit Shah's leadership that has made this party not just the largest in the country, but the largest and the most effective party in the whole world," he said.
"In the early years, when it (BJD was an ally of the BJP, there were certain norms that had been followed which have been lost in the recent years," he said.
Panda stressed on the crimes against women and children and corruption in Odisha and recalled "disappointing sights" which needs changing and said BJP is the only party that can change this.
Panda, who won from Kendrapara Lok Sabha constituency in 2014 on BJD ticket, was first suspended in January last year over charges of anti party activities. He subsequently resigned from the party as well as Lok Sabha in May and June last year following serious differences with chief minister.
The articulate and widely networked MP became the most visible face of BJD's dissenters in mid 2017 after he called for 'introspection' in the wake of BJP's sterling performance in 2017 panchayat elections. Since Modi became PM, Panda has been heaping praise on him while questioning Patnaik's working style.
The BJP has identified Odisha as one of the priority states ahead of the polls. The assembly polls and the parliamentary elections will be held simultaneously, and the BJP hopes that Panda will brighten its prospects, especially in coastal Odisha.
Odisha has 21 parliamentary constituencies and the BJD had won 20 of them in 2014. The BJP had won only one seat — Sundargarh, represented by Union minister for tribal affairs Jual Oram.

First Transcontinental Car Race Crossed Oregon Trail
Sixty years after the first great columns of prairie schooners lumbered along the Oregon Trail, two tiny and primitive automobiles followed the historic ruts across the West. The year was 1905, and the cars were in the first transcontinental automobile race.
The pair of 7-horsepower Curved Dash (so called because of the sleighlike front of the body) Olds Runabouts made their historic journey from New York City to Portland, Ore. Essentially motorized buckboards, these were the first automobiles negotiating the Oregon Trail, first to cross the United States from east to west and the first over the Cascade Range. Although parts of the United States were quite 'civilized,' in 1905, the 20th century was only a spotty veneer over the western United States. The little cars and their drivers faced bad weather, sickness, wild animals, thirst, accidents and unforeseen breakdowns. Crossing the Oregon Trail was still a rough trip.
The automobile was a growing presence in larger cities and even in some towns. Endurance races and tours were popular events. The densely settled Eastern states had a network of established roads, some of which even had graveled surfaces, but most were little more than smoothed-out trails. There were less than 150 miles of hard-surface roads in the entire country, all of it in cities.
The race was a publicity event as well as a contest. The first prize was a very respectable (particularly in those days) one thousand dollars. James W. Abbott, a major organizer of the race, wrote: '[The] important purpose was to bring vividly to public attention a clearer knowledge about all phases of existing transcontinental highways.'
Abbott worked for the Department of Public Roads in the Department of Agriculture. Together with Olds Motor Works and a group called The National Good Roads Association (a group of bicyclists who acted as the first highway lobby), he published an advertisement for entrants in the race, called 'From Hell Gate to Portland.' The Association's 5th annual convention was to be held at the Lewis and Clark Exposition in Portland on June 21, 1905.
The race began auspiciously in New York City on May 8, with fanfare and good weather. One of the cars, Old Scout was even cautioned for speeding. Everyone was optimistic. But, like so many earlier westbound emigrants, these pioneers found the trip much harder than expected. Organizers had estimated the trip would take 30 days. They were wrong.
The cars were single-cylinder, tiller-steered, chain-driven and water-cooled. Old Scout was driven by Dwight Russ, an employee of Olds and an accomplished driver. His mechanic and co-driver was Milford Wigle, also of Detroit. The other Runabout, Old Steady, was driven by Percy Megargel and Barton Stanchfield. Both Megargel and Huss had driven in tours and races. Huss had raced also in England and Europe, accumulating an impressive record of victories. Only 13 years after the first American car-the Duryea-was built, Americans were racing at home and abroad.
The previous year, a 90-pound 'motor-bicycle' had crossed the continent from west to east, following (and often riding on) the tracks of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads. But driving a race over the Oregon Trail turned out to be a much greater challenge than riding a motorized bicycle.
For the race's organizers, a snow-free crossing of the Cascades was considered the most important factor. They had not considered the unpredictability of spring weather. Three days into the trip, rain began and continued for half of the race. It rained every day for three weeks. Miles and miles of the route became lakes and swamps. Dwight Huss wrote of following roads that were completely under water, and he steered by keeping parallel to the telegraph poles.
For the next 1,000 miles, there was mud and rain, more mud and more rain. Each state seemed to outdo the one before in quantities and qualities of mud. Downpours seemed endless. The spoked wheels were so packed with mud they appeared solid. To save weight, the cars carried neither fenders nor tops. The drivers were as muddy and wet as their machines. One of the most useful tools they each carried was a block and tackle.
They crossed the Missouri at historic Council Bluffs, Iowa, the major jumping-off point for earlier pioneers. Eastern civilization was left behind. From Nebraska on, the two cars were on a journey under conditions not that different from half a century before. The racers had neither road maps nor gas stations. The only guidebooks were those written for the pioneers crossing the Oregon and California trails, 50 years before. Conditions got worse. Only trails and tracks crossed the wilderness.
Herds of animals blocked the route across the prairies. Instead of the vast throngs of buffalo encountered by the wagon trains, these were cattle and hogs. The drivers nudged their way through and continued.
Because of supply logistics, the route followed the Oregon Trail as the Union Pacific followed the trail. Ruts from iron-tired wagons were the nearest things to interstate highways. At Julesburg, Colo., the cars turned northwest into Wyoming. They reached Cheyenne 11 days behind schedule.
Old Scout took an early lead and held onto it. The two Runabouts began meeting numerous covered wagons still using the trail. As one participant wrote: 'We passed many parties of traveling prairie schooners to and from the east. These schooners, usually a single wagon drawn by two or four horses, or mules, with one or two saddle ponies and a cow tied behind, are visible for miles, their big white canvas bow tops glistening in the sunshine, and we often pass as many as half a dozen of them traveling together.'
The race was a well-publicized and popular event for the lonely settlers. Townspeople, ranchers, cowboys and sodbusters rode for miles to see the Runabouts pass through their country. People were interested not in the sport of the race, however, but in the utility value of the machines. They wanted to know if automobiles were practical in the rugged West. Horses bucked and kicked as the cars chugged by. The riders laughed and stayed on their bucking mounts. They shouted at the drivers, 'Good luck boys, give 'em hell!'
The drivers didn't give' 'em hell'-they got it. Navigating through the gumbo, Huss wrote, the cars carried a half-ton of mud. That nearly doubled the little cars' weights. (A popular joke of the time claimed that the cars sold for a dollar a pound-650 pounds for $650.) Two hundred pounds of tools and fuel were carried as well. The cars were packed to double their weight, counting the mud. Driver and mechanic added another three hundred pounds-7 hp to move nearly a ton. Surprisingly, on good stretches, the cars could actually speed along at 15 miles an hour!
There weren't a lot of good stretches, however. Huss wrote of one day in Wyoming, 'we drove 18 hours, forded five streams and made a total of 11 miles.'
Where the trail had dried, the ruts were so deep and numerous the cars couldn't stay out of them. Their axles high-centered between the ruts, forcing the drivers to dig out with shovels. They often had to back up half a mile to a place where they could steer onto relatively smooth ground. But soon, Huss said, they would end up high-centered once again. Iron-hard clay cut the tires to shreds. Rocky stretches were worse. One set of tires was worn out every 90 miles. Huss said he had no idea how many tires were destroyed on the trip.
Supplies, for the most part, were not a problem. Abbott arranged supply depots along the course. While gasoline was generally available, at least in small quantities (in drug stores, for dry cleaning), larger amounts had been stockpiled in advance by train and stagecoach. Stocks of oil, tires and batteries had also been arranged. The cars did not have magnetos. Instead, the engine spark was produced by dry-cell batteries, with a limited lifespan. Deep water would short out the batteries and the engines would die.
Surprisingly, the cars could still run with water over the axles. But not always. More than once, water splashed into the carburetors and killed the engines. Once on dry land, the men opened petcocks on the blocks and cranked the engine-by hand, of course-until all the water was expelled. At one point, Old Steady was topped off with the wrong kind of engine oil; the combination caked and seized the engine. Megargel had to walk to the nearest settlement, hire a team, and tow the car back into town. Gasoline, kerosene and lye were tried; nothing freed the piston. After laboring all night, they discovered that only muriatic acid would cut the resulting varnish.
Farmers and ranchers had arbitrarily fenced off portions of the route. The drivers cut the fences and kept on going. At Omaha, the drivers purchased side-arms and then wore them on their hips, as did most of the people they encountered in the West. Law was still distant, arbitrary and personal. Fortunately, all they ever felt motivated to shoot were rabbits and rattlesnakes. Huss used his pistol for hunting, so they could obtain fresh meat. Eggs and pork were the usual diet.
The cars proved remarkably durable. Despite their flimsy appearance-they were of much lighter construction than the covered wagons or even farm wagons of the time-they endured terrible punishment. The radiators were mounted underneath, between the axles, and took a constant beating. Rocks, mud and sagebrush clogged the cooling fins. As the popular song went, the men would have to 'get out and get under.' Using screwdrivers and knives, they picked debris out of the fins. Endless miles of sagebrush jammed the drive chains, causing the gears to bind and lock up the rear axle. Again, the drivers and mechanics got out and under. Huss laconically commented that if Old Scout could have lived on sagebrush they never would have finished.
Because of difficulties and delays, the men had to drive at night. The headlights, inadequate at best, were powered by acetylene. Searchlights had been mounted for night driving, but they also used acetylene. That was the one item in short supply. With or without lights, accidents happened. Old Scout fell into a badger hole and severely damaged the front axle. A reluctant blacksmith (Huss bribed him $10 dollars to work at night) made repairs that lasted the rest of the trip. Many field repairs were extremely creative, but they worked. The simplicity of the cars and the resourcefulness of the drivers were the secrets of their success.
They followed the historic route up the Platte and the Sweetwater, and along the trail over the Continental Divide at South Pass. Now they were onto the Pacific side of the country. Following the ruts, they encountered snow that caused Megargel and Stanchfield, in Old Steady, to become temporarily lost. Stanchfield got altitude sickness. Megargel found a doctor, who also demanded an extra $10 fee. Even 90 years ago the automobilist was seen as 'an easy mark.' Banditry took a new, more modern, turn.
They encountered herds of antelopes, and chugged through miles of prairie dog towns. One participant wrote: '…about every five miles we would strike one of these dog villages, comprised of from two to five hundred mounds. The dogs would congregate on the tops of their houses until Old Steady would be almost upon them, when they would scamper down into the regions below.'
Bands of wild horses were attracted by the noise and motion of the cars. The horses would form a crescent in front and to the sides of the cars and run with them for miles and miles.
Rattlesnakes attempted to ambush the cars and breakdowns occurred in the middle of nowhere. Mud became less of a problem, although Huss remarked that the western states didn't believe in building bridges. Most existing bridges had been washed out by the spring rains. Old Steady, driving with inadequate lights at night, crashed into a broken bridge and bent both axles. No matter: They hastily pounded the axles back into a simulation of straightness and continued. Some swollen rivers were too much for a block and tackle. After one storm, Old Steady was engulfed in a raging stream:
'We half waded and half swam to the shore, leaving the car with just the top of the seat above water. … Sighting a sheep ranch in the distance, we walked to it. Eventually we found the owner, Lone John, in the barn….He was at war with several of his neighbors, and kept a loaded gun at hand at all times. He had just been released for cutting open the head of one of his neighbors with an axe, and he regretted the fact that he had not killed the man. Despite his grievances, he willingly threw the harness on his horses, and telling us where we would find the wagon, and to use his team as we saw fit. … We drove the bronchos [sic] down to our stranded machine, and, attaching a line, soon pulled it out of that creek, and through four others before we got to the ranch.'
Later the men suffered from the lack of water. Huss went for several days without drinking water and became disoriented. Attempting to cross Idaho's Snake River Plain, the cars bogged down in sand dunes. The drivers mounted specially made, wide-treaded'sand tires' and kept heading west.
Here, finally, the racers encountered their first Indians, friendly Shoshonis from Fort Hall Reservation (many of whom were later hired for the first epic film about the Oregon Trail, The Covered Wagon). Like the covered wagon emigrants, the drivers reflected the same cultural biases. Megargel complained that 'the man stealing the most is regarded as the bravest.' The Shoshonis operated a primitive towing service. They kept teams of horses available to pull-for a fee-hapless wagons out of the sand dunes in the area. The Runabouts, though, with their special sand tires, didn't need the help. This delighted the drivers and annoyed the Indians. In eastern Oregon, some native people refused to have their pictures taken with the evil-smelling, noisy machines. Perhaps the Indians somehow saw the future and really didn't want any part of it.
Crossing the Cascade Range was the hardest part of a hard trip. The road over Santiam Pass had originally been a military road, opened to allow supplies and troops to move back and forth during the period of Indian resistance to white settlement. After the resistance was crushed, it became a toll road. Santiam Pass was considered one of the easier passes through the mountains. Easy, however, turned out to be a relative term. What is easy for a freight team, or a rider on horseback, is not necessarily easy for an automobile.
The crossing began with jokes. At the Cache Creek toll gate, on the east side of the pass, the drivers and gatekeeper squabbled over the toll rates. Eight-horse teams were charged $4, and six-horse teams cost $3-but hogs went for 3 cents a head. Since teamsters had called the cars 'roadhogs,' the drivers argued they were entitled to passage at 3 cents a head. But a telegram arrived from the road company, instructing the toll collector to let them pass for free. It made for good publicity.
Huss described the road as being 'paved with boulders.' Time and time again, they had to pile rocks to allow the cars' small wheels to negotiate giant rocks. Portions of the ascent were simply too steep for the heavily laden little cars. The blocks and tackles came out again.
The descent was terrifying. The brakes on the Runabouts were little better than the ones on covered wagons. Like the pioneers, trees were cut and dragged behind, to add braking power. Huss' mechanic, Wigle, rode the tree down to increase the drag. Old Scout slid close to disaster, and at one point had both left wheels hanging out in space.
Several days later, Old Steady came even closer to destruction: the car went into a four-wheel slide. Megargel wrote: 'you have no idea of the sensation of a skid, down a fifty per cent grade in the Cascade mountains, thirty miles from the nearest house. Down, down, we came … ' Finally Old Steady tossed out the driver and co-driver, and came to rest hanging over a precipice. A prairie schooner came along and hauled the little runabout back onto the trail. This may well be the only time an automobile was ever rescued by a covered wagon.
Eventually, Old Scout made it to Portland only an hour before the opening of the convention. The trip had been figured at taking a month; it took half again that long-44 days. Megargel and Stanchfield were eight days behind. Having decided they has already lost, the two men finished the race in a leisurely fashion, stopping to fish and loaf. Their reception in Portland was not much less than that accorded to Huss. Haberdashers gave them new clothes in exchange for displaying their worn garments in shop windows. Megargel ended his account with: 'I am commencing to believe that possibly I do belong to the freak family, a belief strengthened by the numerous mailing cards sent me, usually containing in bright letters of scarlet, 'It's great to be crazy and ride around in an automobile."
Later in the year, Megargel repeated the trip; this time he went south from Portland, into California, and then east again. He is credited with being the first person to cross the Mojave Desert in an automobile, as well as the first to cross Arizona. Pioneer automobilists, and trailblazers, these early drivers made America aware of the need for decent all-weather roads across the nation.
Huss, though, reflected a less optimistic sentiment. In an interview for Life magazine in the mid-1950s, he said: 'The truth is, we'd all be better off if we never had any danged automobiles at all … '

Customs and Border Protection at Hidalgo Seizes Cocaine; Arrest Two Child Smugglers Over the Weekend
Hidalgo, Texas - Officers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Office of Field Operations at the Hidalgo International Bridge arrested a woman from Laredo, Texas with alleged cocaine valued at just over $150,000 this weekend. CBP officers also arrested two alleged child smugglers.
On Sunday night, November 11, 2012 a 2004 grey Pontiac Grand Am arrived at the Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge driven by a 32-year-old female United States citizen from Santa Maria, Texas. Also in the vehicle were a 31-year-old male U.S. citizen from Mission, Texas and two young children, who the adult female traveler claimed were her children. The adult male presented a U.S. passport card and the adult female presented a U.S. birth certificate for herself and for the male child, claiming U.S. citizenship for the female infant as well. A CBP officer referred the vehicle and occupants to secondary for further inspection and document review. It was there that officers discovered that the two children were not related to either adult travelers but were in fact citizens from El Salvador with no legal documents to enter or reside in the United States.
On Saturday evening, November 10, 2012 CBP officers also at Hidalgo encountered a female 21-year-old United States citizen from Laredo in a Mexican taxicab. Noting irregularities with the female's appearance, a CBP officer referred the vehicle to secondary for a more thorough inspection. It was there that two packages weighing approximately 2.14 kilograms (4.71 pounds) of alleged cocaine were discovered hidden on her person. CBP seized the cocaine, which has an estimated street value of $151,000.
The female and male adult travelers involved in the alleged smuggling of the children were incarcerated pending appearance before a U.S. Federal Magistrate on criminal charges for alleged violation of U.S. immigration law. The two children, ages five and two, are cousins, and were released to a U.S. Health and Human Services-Office of Refugee Resettlement (HHS-ORR) facility where they will be temporarily housed. The adult female allegedly involved with the cocaine was released to the custody of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) for further investigation.
"It was a productive weekend for us at the Hidalgo International Bridge and it illustrates the diversity of violations that our officers face frequently," said Efrain Solis Jr., Port Director, Hidalgo/Pharr/Anzalduas. "Detecting smuggling attempts of both narcotics and persons are examples of how CBP helps keep our country safe."

Poll Reveals the Top 10 Restaurants for Cheaters to Take Their Dates
Christine Hsu
Update Date: Apr 26, 2013 10:31 AM EDT
If you suspect your partner of cheating, you might want to stop by Morton's Steakhouse, according to a new survey.
A poll conducted by online dating site AshleyMadison.com, which helps married people look for potential extramarital flings, revealed that the Chicago-based steakhouse is the top restaurant for cheaters to meet.
According to The Huffington Post, the website poll, which surveyed 42,890 of it members who live in major U.S. cities, revealed the top 10 restaurants for married people looking for something extra on the side.
The survey found that the second most popular restaurant for cheaters is Ruth's Chris Steakhouse followed by Houston's, P.F. Chang's and Cheesecake Factory.
However, most members of the infidelity website noted that the restaurant must be at least 20 miles from their homes.
Founders of the website Ashley Madison and CEO Noel Biderman said that cheaters tend to meet at chain restaurants because they are larger and less conspicuous.
"Chain restaurants are larger and less conspicuous," they said in a press release, according to the Huffington Post.
"Steak houses are always a popular affair destination since they're not only dimly lit but also commonly found in business districts, close to hotels where the these type of dates typically end," the added.
Biderman told the NY Post that cheaters choose chain restaurants because it makes it easy to pass extramarital rendezvous off as business meetings.
"You can put it on your credit card and not worry about your partner finding out that you went somewhere romantic like Per Se," Biderman told the NY Post.

Bible > CEV > Luke 24
◄ Luke 24 ►
Jesus Is Alive
(Matthew 28.1-10; Mark 16.1-8; John 20.1-10)
1Very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared. 2When they found the stone rolled away from the entrance, 3they went in. But they did not find the body of the Lord+ Jesus, 4and they did not know what to think.
Suddenly two men in shining white clothes stood beside them. 5The women were afraid and bowed to the ground. But the men said, "Why are you looking in the place of the dead for someone who is alive? 6 Jesus isn't here! He has been raised from death. Remember that while he was still in Galilee, he told you, 7'The Son of Man will be handed over to sinners who will nail him to a cross. But three days later he will rise to life.' " 8Then they remembered what Jesus had said.
9-10Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some other women were the ones who had gone to the tomb. When they returned, they told the eleven apostles and the others what had happened. 11The apostles thought it was all nonsense, and they would not believe.
12But Peter ran to the tomb. And when he stooped down and looked in, he saw only the burial clothes. Then he returned, wondering what had happened.+
Jesus Appears to Two Disciples
(Mark 16.12,13)
13That same day two of Jesus' disciples were going to the village of Emmaus, which was about eleven kilometers from Jerusalem. 14As they were talking and thinking about what had happened, 15Jesus came near and started walking along beside them. 16But they did not know who he was.
17Jesus asked them, "What were you talking about as you walked along?"
The two of them stood there looking sad and gloomy. 18Then the one named Cleopas asked Jesus, "Are you the only person from Jerusalem who didn't know what was happening there these last few days?"
19"What do you mean?" Jesus asked.
They answered:
Those things that happened to Jesus from Nazareth. By what he did and said he showed that he was a powerful prophet, who pleased God and all the people. 20Then the chief priests and our leaders had him arrested and sentenced to die on a cross. 21We had hoped that he would be the one to set Israel free! But it has already been three days since all this happened.
22Some women in our group surprised us. They had gone to the tomb early in the morning, 23but did not find the body of Jesus. They came back, saying they had seen a vision of angels who told them that he is alive. 24Some men from our group went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said. But they didn't see Jesus either.
25Then Jesus asked the two disciples, "Why can't you understand? How can you be so slow to believe all that the prophets said? 26Didn't you know that the Messiah would have to suffer before he was given his glory?" 27Jesus then explained everything written about himself in the Scriptures, beginning with the Law of Moses and the Books of the Prophets.+
28When the two of them came near the village where they were going, Jesus seemed to be going farther. 29They begged him, "Stay with us! It's already late, and the sun is going down." So Jesus went into the house to stay with them.
30After Jesus sat down to eat, he took some bread. He blessed it and broke it. Then he gave it to them. 31At once they knew who he was, but he disappeared. 32They said to each other, "When he talked with us along the road and explained the Scriptures to us, didn't it warm our hearts?" 33So they got up and returned to Jerusalem.
The two disciples found the eleven apostles and the others gathered together. 34And they learned from the group that the Lord was really alive and had appeared to Peter. 35Then the disciples from Emmaus told what happened on the road and how they knew he was the Lord when he broke the bread.
What Jesus' Followers Must Do
(Matthew 28.16-20; Mark 16.14-18; John 20.19-23; Acts 1.6-8)
36While Jesus' disciples were talking about what had happened, Jesus appeared and greeted them. 37They were frightened and terrified because they thought they were seeing a ghost.
38But Jesus said, "Why are you so frightened? Why do you doubt? 39Look at my hands and my feet and see who I am! Touch me and find out for yourselves. Ghosts don't have flesh and bones as you see I have."
40After Jesus said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41The disciples were so glad and amazed that they could not believe it. Jesus then asked them, "Do you have something to eat?" 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish. 43He took it and ate it as they watched.
44Jesus said to them, "While I was still with you, I told you that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Books of the Prophets, and in the Psalms+ had to happen."
45Then he helped them understand the Scriptures. 46He told them:
The Scriptures say that the Messiah must suffer, then three days later he will rise from death. 47They also say that all people of every nation must be told in my name to turn to God, in order to be forgiven. So beginning in Jerusalem, 48you must tell everything that has happened. 49 I will send you the one my Father has promised,+ but you must stay in the city until you are given power from heaven.
(Mark 16.19,20; Acts 1.9-11)
50 Jesus led his disciples out to Bethany, where he raised his hands and blessed them. 51As he was doing this, he left and was taken up to heaven.+ 52After his disciples had worshiped him,+ they returned to Jerusalem and were very happy. 53They spent their time in the temple, praising God.
24.3 the Lord: These words are not in some manuscripts.
24.12 But Peter … happened: Verse 12 is not in some manuscripts.
24.27 the Law of Moses and the Books of the Prophets: See the note at 16.16.
24.44 Psalms: The Jewish Scriptures were made up of three parts: (1) the Law of Moses, (2) the Books of the Prophets, (3) and the Writings, which included the Psalms. Sometimes the Scriptures were just called the Law or the Law (of Moses) and the Books of the Prophets.
24.49 the one my Father has promised: Jesus means the Holy Spirit.
24.51 and was taken up to heaven: These words are not in some manuscripts.
24.52 After his disciples had worshiped him: These words are not in some manuscripts.

ryan paul davis
Originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, singer/songwriter Ryan Paul Davis blends traditional blues and folk music with poetic lyricism and imagery. Often pressing the boundaries of roots and blues genres, his songwriting is characteristically reflective, raw and emotive. Throughout his career, Davis has drawn a wide range of comparisons, from the rustic stylings of Robert Johnson to the intensity of Curt Cobain.
Relocated to rural Central Texas, Davis is more troubadour than recluse, regularly performing across the southern U.S. Typically armed with primitive foot percussion and custom-built guitars gifted from his father, he is best known for his gritty and soulful live performances. He has shared the stage with the likes of Gary Clark Jr., Samantha Fish, Bob Schneider, Ian Moore, Hubert Sumlin, and W.C. Clark among others. Davis has been featured in numerous southern festivals such as Austin's SXSW Music Festival, the Texas Blueberry Festival, and The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival. He produced his sixth commercial release, This Slender Thread (EP), in April 2022.

"The song 'Undone' is incredible. His voice gives me chills; you can hear the pain in his words and tone. This isn't some "emo" affectation designed by a record label to market to the legions of dispossessed youth hanging out at Hot Topic. This is real. I love how there is an extended pause between the plaintitive starkness of the verses before the drums kick in for the chorus. I got the same feeling upon hearing this that I did the first time I heard 'Heart Shaped Box' by Nirvana. Phenomenal."
-Sol Leistner, Music Coordinator, CBS New York

In the notebook flash.nb, we perform flash calculations of a mixture of hydrocarbons (ethane, propane, n-butane and n-pentane) using the Rachford-Rice equation. The phi-phi method, based on the SRK equation of state, is used to compute the equilibrium constants. We also find the True Vapor Pressure of the mixture. All results are in agreement with those given by HYSYS 3.2 as well as the results in the Master's thesis of Romain Privat from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Industries Chimiques de Nancy (Nancy, 2005) under the supervision of J-P Corriou.
In the notebook HS_SRK_Example4_10.nb, we obtain equilibrium constants, compressibility factors, molar volumes and densities using the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state for a mixture of methane, ethane and propane. We find the same results as those given by Henley and Seader in Example 4-10 page 175 in Equilibrium-Stage Separation Operations in Chemical Engineering, Wiley, 1981.


My availability is , generally in the afternoons and evenings BUT WILL MEET WITH YOU ANYTIME 24 HOURS A DAY. As I have a life outside this and plan ahead, I highly recommend that you give me as much advance notice as you can. Besides, I'd like to have enough time to get ready for seeing you.

Our story begins in the late 1940's in Washington, DC, at a place called "The Cavalier Restaurant," located on 14th street. It was owned by the Portner family who began one of the first pizza operations in Washington, DC. Customers who have been following the pizza since the 1940's tell of how common it was to see lines down the street for hours at a time, just to get a chance to try the famous Cavalier Pizza. The restaurant thrived until the 1960's when it was moved to Montgomery County and found its new home in Rockville, in the Twinbrook Shopping Center. The Portners maintained ownership until 1970, at which time Jim Hance and the Hance Family took over the reins.
In 1970, the Restaurants name was changed to "Gentleman Jim's", named after Jim Hance and the 1890's boxing champ, Gentleman Jim Corbett. The high quality and unique flavor of the "Cavalier Pizza" was kept exactly the same. Chef Pete who cooked for the Portners at the Cavalier,is still a full time chef at Gentleman Jim's in Gaithersburg.
In 1990, Gentleman Jim's opened its second location in Gaithersburg, MD. (Featured here) The Hance Family, now in the third generation, carries on the traditions set by the "Cavalier Restaurant" almost 70 years ago

Tulsan Publishes Book About Advocate For The Poor
March 5, 2012 NewsCarlos Moreno
It's a story that spans decades and it's a personal one for the author. She was a Tulsa newspaper reporter who met a priest for an article. Forty years later, that article is now a book: "Dan's War on Poverty," about a man once called the conscience of our community.
As Ann Patton autographed copies of her book Sunday, she was quick to remind readers to celebrate Father Dan Allen.
"His words and his actions created change in that era and a lot of that change still exists today," she says.
News On Six anchor Clayton Vaughn profiled Allen for CBS News back in 1968.
"In Tulsa, Oklahoma, a unique program to give incentive to the poor to help themselves has developed from small beginnings…" Vaughn says as the documentary outlining Allen's Neighbor for Neighbor project opens.
From his church in North Tulsa, Allen was a civil rights crusader who said he saw the beauty of South Tulsa, built on the backs of the poor in North Tulsa and knew that wasn't right.

If you haven't seen it yet, How To Be A Dad is running a challenge with Mike's Hard Lemondae around the moment to tell how you knew you were going to be a father for the first time. Here's my story.
Almost one year ago to the day on August 13th, 2013, I found out I was going to be a daddy for the first time. Earlier in the summer, we had the talk and decided that we would start trying for kids. The first month was a bit of a disappointment when we found out we weren't pregnant, but to be fair, we weren't tracking the timings for ovulation or anything like that. We were still living our pretty normal newlywed lifestyle, with us going out, having dates, seeing friends, going to gigs, etc.
The weekend just before Vic told me she was pregnant, we had a very 'normal' weekend for us, featuring a massive cocktail party at a friends house and a Manchester United football match at Wembley. The work week rolled around and when I came home on Tuesday, Vic was in the kitchen. As part of our daily routine, we'd talk about our day and catch up. Vic mentioned she got a new calendar for 2014, which was on the wall right next to me. My initial thought was, 'Ok, great, who uses a physical calendar anymore?' Vic then insisted I take a look at it as it was music themed and I would probably like it. I flipped through the first three months and getting the gist of the calendar, closed it. Didn't quite see what Vic was so excited about it. She then further insisted that I look through the whole thing. Being a good husband, I obliged and flipped it backwards, from December on down. The shock came when I got to April and saw a post it note that said 'Baby Rothwell due'. It took like a year for it to settle in what I was seeing, probably only a second or two in reality. There it was on a cheap music calendar, which became the best calendar ever, simply because it's when I found out I was going to be a daddy for the first time.
For me the real #dadchelor moment was at the 12 week scan. With Vic being a twin, we knew there was a small chance of twins, but only made jokes about it. I remember sitting in the GP office with the midwife starting the scan. I had the benefit of seeing a better monitor and when she moved the ultrasound wand a certain way, I froze up and exploded with excitement all at the same time. The midwife asked if we were ready for a surprise. Sure enough, that small chance was now going to be a 100% definitive, as we were not only pregnant, but pregnant with twins! That's when I knew life would be so amazingly different from here on out.
If I recall correctly, Vic took me out to our local craft brewery for a couple beers, as I was now drinking for three. Both the initial surprise in the calendar and the second unexpected joy of finding out it was twins was just amazing. We've celebrated in various ways ever since!


In 1973, when David Nadel founded the Ashkenaz music hall on Sacramento Avenue, he had a vision of fostering intercultural understanding through music and dance. This past September 15, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley's famous independent filmmaking ("One Flew Over the Coco's Nest") and recording studio (Credence Clearwater), closed its doors as a place where the magic of musician friendships created at Ashkenaz Community Center regularly came to life.
Karen Lile, a producer at both Ashkenaz and Fantasy Studios, joined with filmmaker Michael J Kofford to create a documentary tribute to the musicians who enlivened Ashkenaz and Fantasy Studios over the years. The resulting film brought together more than 60 musicians for 20 recording sessions inside Studio D, between September 17 to 29th. Kofford has turned these recording sessions into a 38-minute documentary called "Two Weeks in Studio B: Berkeley."
The film features interviews and music from recording sessions with Grammy-winner Jamie Dubberly (Dharma Brass Band), Rob Dehlinger (Alpha Rhythm Kings), Erik Jekabson, Kenny Washington & the Electric Squeezebox Orchestra, Tammy L. Hall, Mimi Fox, George Winston, Allison Miller, Kendall Ross Bean and Taylor Eigsti. More information is available at http://comteams.com/studioDsept2018.htm"> this link.
At 11am Saturday, November 17, the Main Post Office on Allston Way, hosted a public celebration as part of a Building Bridges Ceremony recognizing 70 years of Music Recording History in Berkeley. Speakers included Mayor Jesse Arreguin, the film's executive producer, Karen E. Lile, and KPFA stalwart Phil Allen. As befitted the occasion, live music was provided by Trinidad-born drummer Hugh "Sweetfoot" Maynard, one of the original Caribbean Allstars, a reggae/calypso/soca band that has regularly rocked the Ashkenaz stage over the decades.
A planned screening of the film later Saturday night at Ashkenaz had to be cancelled due to poor air quality. After screening the documentary, Ashkenaz planned to present a tribute to the early music recordings from "Live at Ashkenaz" dating back to early 1980's and celebrate Ashkenaz's continuing contribution the local and global community of recording musicians.
The screening will be rescheduled—along with the celebration of Ashkenaz's music recording history—for sometime in January. In the meantime, beginning on November 17, 2018, "Two Weeks Inside Studio D: Berkeley," will be available online for a free, three-day screening. Go to www.twoweeksinside.com and enter the private password "ashkenaz."


As you pass through Valle Encanto, the idyllic valley between Phases 1 & 2, you begin to see Las Mesas on the gentle slopes. This hilltop phase includes views through the valley to San Juan Bay and out to the Pacific. The 19 available lots in Las Mesas sit in a clearing between the collage of green at the top of the hill and the open sky over the burgeoning valley below. Native hardwood trees are scattered around the plots, left to grow so that each owner may determine their own vision for the land.
Every Las Mesas lot includes water service fed by El Encanto's high-capacity wells, which are backed up by the city of San Juan. Each home can also be connected to our new and highly available Hybrid Solar MicroGrid, should you want all the benefits of green power without the hassle. And, if you'd like horses, we have a corral nearby where they can be looked after.

Seaton Library to close for refurbishment
Major refurbishment and improvements to turn Seaton Library into one of Devon s flagship 21st Century libraries will require it to close between June 7 and July 8.
Major refurbishment and improvements to turn Seaton Library into one of Devon's flagship 21st Century libraries will require it to close between June 7 and July 8.
During that period alternative arrangements are being put in place by Devon County Council to minimise any inconvenience.
Axminster library will open an extra day a week, on Wednesdays, between 9:30am and 5pm, in addition to its normal opening hours. Library users will be able to borrow extra items prior to closure to tide them over. Otherwise, people are welcome to use the services at neighbouring libraries in Sidmouth, Honiton and Axminster.
The refurbishment is part of a �650,000 programme of work across six Devon libraries.
The new-look Seaton library will have a more adaptable layout so that the space can be used for a wider variety of purposes. It will include new self-service kiosks; computers with internet access; free wi-fi; a new space for young people, an improved childrens library; a quiet study area; and comfy seating.
Preliminary designs went on public display at the library last month, while the Council also asked for people's opinions on extending the library's opening times. Opening times for the refurbished library have not yet been confirmed, but could include shorter lunchtime closures.
The Council's Cabinet Member responsible for the county's libraries, Cllr Stuart Barker said:
"Our refurbishment programme will give all the libraries involved fresh new brighter looks and feel, and will broaden their appeal and use by their local communities. They will be better equipped to deal with the bigger choice of books and other services to meet people's needs.
"By improving the layouts and introducing self service kiosks, our library staff will be able to spend time helping people with their enquiries and choices .
"The overall aim is to make sure our libraries attract a much wider range of people of all ages - particularly teenagers who often feel that libraries have nothing to offer them.
"Where we have invested already in our libraries and now provide a wider range of services of interest to local people, library membership figures have risen."
Local County Councillor for Seaton, Councillor Jim Knight, said:
"I would like to thank all the staff at our Seaton Library for the hard work and dedication in the daily running of the establishment and the courteous and cheerful manner they show to all that enter our library.
"I am delighted that Seaton library is to receive such a good refurbishment and am sure that it will attract more users with its wider range of services.
"This is the first of many things that will bring Seaton town centre alive again and will vastly improve the poor facilities that Seaton has today.

Laron's field crew outperforms customer's expectations and timeline during narrow maintenance window with no delay to production. This Arizona Mine was plagued with production problems stemming from their pan feeder system. Laron fabricated a structural mount and installed a new head shaft, drive assembly and gearbox which smoothed out the rocky operations and got the customer rolling. Day or night, our field crews work in tight places to get you out of a jam.

St. Paul, Minn. – March 6, 2014 – 3M Library Systems announces the launch of the newest innovation to its 3M Cloud Library Digital Lending System—eAudiobooks. Debuting with 40,000 titles powered by Findaway World, a premier provider of digital audiobook technology and delivery, the 3M Cloud Library will have an extensive collection of high quality eAudio titles. 3M will detail the new offerings at the Public Library Association (PLA) 2014 Conference, March 11-15 in Indianapolis, Ind.
The addition of eAudiobooks to the 3M Cloud Library will be a seamless transition for both readers and librarians, with the existing apps updated and optimized to include discovery, checkout and listening capabilities. As always, patrons only need to register to use the 3M Cloud Library through their local library the first time they sign in. Every eAudio title will be compatible on all devices using 3M Cloud Library applications, users will not have to differentiate which formats work on which devices. Once the eAudiobook is checked out, users can immediately start listening. Also for the user's benefit, eAudiobooks are automatically bookmarked across the Cloud and available across all devices.
Titles from Findaway World are professionally engineered, enabling the highest-quality listening experience for users. Through Findaway World, 3M will have content from every major publisher in the Audiobook space.
To introduce the new eAudiobook content, 3M will be giving away earbuds to anyone who attends a presentation at its booth, number 1303, on Thursday, March 13 and Friday, March 14. In addition to receiving free earbuds, booth presentation attendees will also be entered to win a pair of Beats by Dr. Dre Special Edition Ellen Wireless headphones, as featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
"3M's Innovative Model for Consortium: CloudLink" a system designed to help drive circulation with title sharing across a consortium. The first consortium to implement this system saw eBook check-outs increase 67 percent during its first quarter, while holds decreased by 25 percent.
Another improvement to the Cloud Library is the recent expansion of automated buying tools, which allow librarians to purchase hold lists automatically and easily manage all expiry content. This fully customizable tool helps reduce the time required from library staff to manage their collections.
"We continue to listen to the needs of public libraries and focus our development efforts to create the best platform for Public Libraries and their customers," said Tom Mercer, Marketing Manager, 3M Cloud Library.
Also at PLA, the 3M SelfCheck QuickConnect Interface will show a new way to reach library customers at the self-checkout, where libraries could create hundreds of thousands more reading recommendations to their customers every year.* PLA visitors who attend a demo of the new interface will receive a complimentary Random House title, with a choice of "The Accident" by Chris Pavone or "The Weight of Blood" by Laura McHugh.

Das Weinfeld ist ein Naturschutzgebiet in der Stadt Mansfeld im Landkreis Mansfeld-Südharz in Sachsen-Anhalt.

Das Naturschutzgebiet mit dem Kennzeichen NSG 0180 ist rund 25 Hektar groß. Es ist deckungsgleich mit dem FFH-Gebietes "Weinfeld nordwestlich Mansfeld" und wird vom Landschaftsschutzgebiet "Harz und Vorländer" umgeben. Das Gebiet steht seit 1998 unter Schutz (Datum der Verordnung: 8. Juli 1998). Zuständige untere Naturschutzbehörde ist der Landkreis Mansfeld-Südharz.

Das Naturschutzgebiet liegt nordwestlich von Mansfeld im Naturpark Harz/Sachsen-Anhalt (Mansfelder Land). Es stellt die in westliche bzw. südliche Richtungen exponierten Hänge des Kernberges entlang eines zeitweise wasserführenden Seitentals der Wipper im östlichen Harzvorland unter Schutz. Im südlichen Bereich des Naturschutzgebietes herrschen wertvollen Halbtrockenrasen vor. Sie sind von Schafschwingelarten geprägte. Weiterhin sind u. a. Taubenskabiose, Gelbe Skabiose, Wirbeldost, Österreichischer Lein und Sichelmöhre charakteristische Arten. Die Flächen sind teilweise mit Schlehen, Eingriffeligem Weißdorn, Schwarzem Holunder und Wildrosenarten, darunter auch die bestandsbedrohte Rosa micrantha, verbuscht. Das Gartengeißblatt erreicht hier seine nördliche Verbreitungsgrenze. Daneben kommen aufgelassene Streuobstwiesen mit Pflaumen-, Apfel- und Kirschbäumen vor, in deren Bereich auch Weißdorn und Liguster wachsen, sowie Steilhangbereiche mit Zwergstrauchheiden. Hier ist insbesondere die Besenheide zu finden. Nach Norden schließen sich bewaldete Bereiche an.

Die Halbtrockenrasenbereiche sind Lebensraum bestandsbedrohter Schmetterlinge, Heuschrecken und Laufkäfer. Daneben beherbergen sie eine artenreiche Avifauna. So kommen hier u. a. Sperbergrasmücke, Dorngrasmücke, Goldammer und Fitis, im Bereich der Streuobstwiesen auch Wendehals vor. In den bewaldeten Bereichen sind u. a. Amsel, Buchfink, Rotkehlchen und Kleinspecht heimisch.

To access Secondary Circuit Analysis, right-click a transformer, secondary line, or service point on the Selection tab of the Attribute Editor and select Secondary Circuit Analysis or click the Secondary Circuit Analysis button on the Designer toolbar.
IMPORTANT: Secondary Circuit Analysis requires a network. If a network does not exist, Secondary Circuit Analysis will not work correctly.
Modify fields (such as Rated kVA, kVA load, and conductor type) in the properties windows. Right-click the feature and select Properties.
Add features (conductors, service points, and motors) to the circuit. Right-click a feature and select New.
Remove features from the circuit. Right-click the feature and select Remove.
In the example below, the transformer has been overloaded to 160%. The flaming transformer icon and red text alert the designer visually. The designer may want to modify the Rated kVA on the transformer to accommodate the service point loads. The Secondary Circuit Analysis tool is for analysis purposes only. Modifications made do NOT impact your map.
