Highest Annual Honor Recognizes Arkansas City as the Leading Facility of 2019 Throughout the GSF Family of Companies
Golden State Foods recently awarded its 2019 Chairman's Challenge award for outstanding facility achievement in safety, customer service, employee satisfaction, efficiencies, profitability, and innovation. This year's award went to GSF's subsidiary company, KanPak in Arkansas City, Kansas. The annual award, recognized as GSF's highest internal honor, was presented to the KanPak team at Golden State Foods' Global Leadership Conference in Newport Beach, California.
"As we mark the 20th consecutive year of Chairman's Challenge honors, I'm so proud to recognize our people in Arkansas City, who effectively embrace our GSF Creed and Values every day," said Mark Wetterau, chairman and chief executive officer, Golden State Foods. "Following up last year's Chairman's Challenge win by its sister facility in New York, this KanPak Kansas team exemplifies what's possible when a team comes together to achieve its common goal."
The Chairman's Challenge Award recognizes the KanPak Arkansas City team for demonstrating outstanding performance in many areas, including these key accomplishments: improved safety and quality metrics, including a milestone of 1 million associate hours worked over four years without a lost-time accident; earned high ratings on third-party audits and customer satisfaction surveys; supported increased customer demand, given competitor shortfalls in the supply chain; completed major capital projects to improve capacity and efficiency; and achieved financial plan, improving year-over-year performance.
Additionally, KanPak Arkansas City contributed more than 1,300 collective volunteer hours during GSF Foundation charitable events, earning recognition by local government for giving back to the community. From backpacks and bikes to shoes and meals, KanPak associates served neighbors in need through their time, talent and treasure.
"By strengthening our culture to focus specifically on accountability and ownership, the commitment from every member of our KanPak Kansas team enabled us to lay the foundation for this honor early in 2019," said Bryan Bartee, senior director for KanPak in Arkansas City. "With that realignment in our culture, together we heightened productivity, achieved key performance metrics, drove continuous improvement and ultimately supported our customers' success to the highest standards."
In addition to the Chairman's Challenge Award, GSF presented its "Best in Class" awards in four categories that recognize large facilities (Platinum Awards) and small facilities (Diamond Awards) in distribution and food processing. The distribution category winners include QCD Los Angeles for the "Best in Class" Platinum Award and QCD Spokane for the "Best in Class" Diamond Award. In the food processing categories, KanPak Arkansas City won the "Best in Class" Platinum Award and KanPak China earned the "Best in Class" Diamond Award. An annual tradition for the past eight years, the "Best in Class" honorees comprise the finalists for each year's highest honor, the Chairman's Challenge Award.

This paper sets out the proposed framework for the establishment of the Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF).
activity to promote technological entrepreneurship.
The Chief Executive in his 1998 Policy Address accepted the Commission's recommendations and pledged an injection of $5 billion into the ITF.
"As part of the Government's innovation and technology support programme, the ITF seeks to finance projects that contribute to innovation or technology upgrading in industry, as well as those essential to the upgrading and development of industry, to be undertaken by government or non-government entities."
the ITF should as far as possible seek to cultivate and foster technological entrepreneurship.
5.	At present, the Industry Department operates three funding schemes for supporting manufacturing and service sectors. They are the Industrial Support Fund (ISF), the Services Support Fund (SSF) and the Applied Research Fund (ARF). 1 The ISF and, to a lesser extent, the SSF already finance some projects contributing to innovation and technology upgrading. The CIT has recommended that the ITF will replace the ISF and SSF as the funding source of these projects.
6.	Some projects currently funded by the ISF and SSF may not be directly related to innovation and technology upgrading, but are nonetheless beneficial to upgrading and future development of our industries. We propose that the scope of the ITF be widened to cover these projects as well.
7.	As regards the ARF, it has a distinct objective of encouraging technology ventures by providing equity capital to them, filling a gap in the private capital market which is rather averse to investing in technology businesses. The operational management of the ARF has been contracted out to three private sector venture capital firms. Given the different nature and modus operandi of the ARF, we consider that it should continue to have a separate identity for the time being. In future, however, the ITF may be a funding source for the ARF.
8.	We propose that the ITF should fund the following four broad categories of activities.
Innovation and Technology Support Activities : This category will cover midstream/downstream research and development projects undertaken by universities, industry support organizations, trade associations, private enterprises and the Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI)2 .
General Support Activities : This category will cater for projects that contribute to fostering an innovation and technology culture in Hong Kong, such as conferences, exhibitions, seminars, etc. This category will also include projects which are not directly related to innovation and technology upgrading, but will nonetheless be beneficial to the upgrading and future development of our manufacturing and service industries.
Technology Entrepreneurship Promotion Activities : This category will cover projects that aim to encourage people with both technology know-how and business ideas to develop technology businesses. It will provide financial support for small technology-based enterprises to carry out pre-venture-capital stage R&D activities on a commercial basis. For companies that qualify and whose projects are assessed to have merits, funding of up to, say, $2 million will be provided on a matching basis. The grant will be recouped gradually if the project is commercially successful.
10.	We propose that the Director-General of Industry should be given the responsibility to control and administer the ITF, and will be accountable to the Legislative Council on expenditure from the ITF. We also propose to seek the Legislative Council Finance Committee's approval for individual projects costing more than $15 million each.
11.	We propose to put in place a suitable advisory structure to undertake project assessment and monitoring. This should comprise businessmen, academics and Government officials to provide the necessary commercial, technical and policy input in the assessment and monitoring process. In developing the eventual advisory structure, we will take into account the CIT's current deliberations regarding institutional arrangements for our technological infrastructure. As they stand, these discussions point to the continued need for sector-specific committees to assess and monitor ITF projects.
13.	To facilitate project assessment, applicants will be asked to set out, where possible, quantifiable objectives that the proposed project would likely achieve. This may include, for example, the number of firms that would likely adopt a certain technology; the expected number of participants at a funded event, etc. These objectives will also form the basis for the evaluation of the results of the projects. To ensure that project proposals are relevant to the needs of industry, we will require, where appropriate, private sector participation in the projects. To increase the possibility of the project results being adopted by private enterprises, the participating companies will need to contribute in cash or in kind to the project. In addition, especially with technology development projects touching on specific technical issues and new technology areas, the proposals may be vetted by independent experts in the field.
14.	The following measures will be adopted to monitor the progress of the projects.
Periodic reviews : Project teams will be required to submit progress report on a regular basis, say, half-yearly. Visits to and presentations by the project teams will be arranged where necessary.
Disbursement of fund according to deliverables : To complement the monitoring efforts in (a) above, funds will be disbursed only if a project is able to meet the prescribed milestones of the projects.
Mid-term evaluation : For projects that are related to technology development, particularly those that seek to develop technology in new areas, there should be a mid-term evaluation during which the likelihood of success and the latest global developments in the same area should be re-examined in detail.
Retention money : For some projects, a sum of "retention money" of, say, 5% of the project costs would be held until all the milestones have been completed satisfactorily and all the requirements set down have been accomplished.
16.	We propose to review the ITF periodically, say, once every three years. This will help to develop a management tool to make the ITF better meet its mission and operate more efficiently. It will enable the ITF to adjust to the changing needs of the community. It will also help to meet the many external requirements and requests for programme results.
17.	In addition, we consider that "impact studies" may be conducted for selected projects to examine the projects" accomplishment in the longer term. We will look at both the economic benefits generated by the project results a few years after the project has been completed (such as the number of jobs created, the amount of investment/turnover generated) as well as indirect and intangible returns (such as the project's contribution to broadening the knowledge base of Hong Kong). The measurement of non-financial benefits is particularly important for mid-stream research that entails higher risks. Where technology development projects fail at the commercialization end, for example, they may still broaden our technological horizon or strengthen our technological capability, thereby contributing to innovation and technology upgrading and leading to spillovers in the long run.
18.	In considering the effectiveness of the ITF, we need to accept the fact that not all projects would be able to accomplish all the goals " innovation and technology upgrading, knowledge creation, capability building, timely commercialization of products and services, and diffusion of the technology leading to other spillover benefits. The impact studies and overall reviews should therefore provide a clearer picture on the usefulness of the ITF as a whole over a longer period of time.
19.	To ensure that fairness is maintained and seen to be maintained throughout the project assessment, monitoring and evaluation stages, we consider that the rules on avoidance of conflict of interests should be strictly observed in all discussions. This refers to members of the advisory body who are also directly or indirectly related to projects being considered 3. Such conflict of interests poses a presentational problem, even though the assessment work may have been done professionally with utmost good faith. We consider it necessary that members who are directly or indirectly involved in a project should refrain from the discussion. Our experience with the ISF and SSF indicates that this will be an effective measure, and will enable free and frank discussion of the project merits.
20.	Subject to the approval of the Finance Committee, we will set up the ITF with an initial injection of $5 billion. Investment income earned from the $5 billion grant and all proceeds received from any disbursement from the Fund will be retained in the Fund's balance for meeting its future use. While existing staff responsible for administering the ISF and SSF will be redeployed to administer the ITF, an additional post of Trade Officer will be created by way of redeployment of existing resources to cope with the additional workload as a result of the establishment of the ITF.
to complement the future Hong Kong Science Park, in terms of supplying technology capability and human resources.
income from contract research and technology transfer to industry.
We are now mapping out the planning parameters of ASTRI and will keep members posted of developments.
22.	In order to ensure that the ITF may be set up within this legislative year, we propose to seek the Legislative Council's adoption of the resolution for the establishment of the ITF as soon as possible. We will seek Finance Committee's approval to allocate $5 billion to the ITF thereafter.
Under this scheme, companies will be encouraged to take on graduate research students for specific R&D projects with a finite duration. The university will provide teaching guidance for the students in handling the projects. The participating companies and the ITF will each bear half of the costs for hiring the students.
2.	As the name suggests, the aim of this scheme is to foster private enterprises to collaborate with universities in proprietary R&D projects. A company will be required to bear half of the costs of the project. The ownership of and access to the intellectual property rights of the project results will be agreed between the company and the university before the project commences.
3.	The objective of this scheme is to assist universities and industry to develop research efforts in technology fields that are not yet developed in Hong Kong but for which there is good development potential in the longer term. The project should be in the natural science and engineering field. Funding will be provided on a matching basis and could cover the salary of the chairholder for a finite duration. This chairholder will mainly conduct research and will accept a light teaching load.
4.	For these three schemes, we consider that competitive assessment might not be needed as the proposals would require the agreement of the university and the company involved. The university will need to play an active role in the selection of students and projects, and also the deployment of its teaching and research resources. At the same time, the participating company will also be involved in project formulation and monitoring, because of its substantial contribution and direct interest in the project. Moreover, because of the proprietary issues involved, companies may not wish the details of their projects to be made known to other parties. We therefore consider that a funding ceiling can be set each year, and universities will submit collaboration proposals to the Director-General of Industry. The proposals will be entertained on a first-come-first-served basis, as long as they meet the objectives of the concerned scheme. Universities will be required to provide regular reports on the projects.
7. the planning and organisational structure of the project, including the schedule of implementation, the milestones, etc.
12. whether there would be any recurrent cost implications.
Innovation and technology support activities : We would look at the number of companies that have adopted the technology / product / service / process, and where possible, the amount of investment spawned by the project. It must however be pointed out that the latter point may not be easy to establish because of the commercial sensitivity involved and the fact that investments may be made in tranches over a long period of time.
University-industry collaboration activities : We would look at the number of participating companies, the R&D expenditure induced from these companies on the project concerned, the involvement of faculty and students, as well as the level of technology upgrading on both parties through the project.
General support activities : We would look at, say, the number of participants at an event, the number of copies of a publication distributed to the industry and so on.
Technology entrepreneurship promotion activities : We would look at the percentage of beneficiary companies that could in due course obtain venture capital or other sources of investment, or could survive in the market after a period of time.
Taking all the above factors into account, each completed project would be given a rating, and companies / project teams with the lowest rating could be "blacklisted".
1. The ISF was set up in 1994 to support projects that contribute to the industrial and technological development of Hong Kong. The SSF was set up in 1996 to support projects that contribute to the overall development and the competitiveness of Hong Kong's service sectors. The ARF was set up in 1993 as a venture capital fund to encourage private technology ventures.
2. The establishment of the ASTRI is another recommendation made by the CIT. Please see paragraph 21 below.
3. This will include officials of the applicant organisation, members of the project team, as well as staff of the sponsor(s) or partner(s).


Thank you to USGIF and IFAW for the opportunity to speak on this very important topic.
Although wildlife security and illicit trafficking has many facets, I will focus my comments on the role of intelligence in supporting efforts to reduce and eliminate illegal animal trade.
As Dave Luna, my State department colleague just properly articulated, the US government, via senior government officials and a variety of policy papers and strategy documents, has assigned a high priority to combatting illicit trafficking in wildlife. Like other members of the government, the Intelligence Community is expected to play its part in supporting these efforts.
In fact, the Feb 2014 "National Strategy for Combating wildlife Trafficking, specifically directs us to increase coordination with USG partners; enhance information sharing as appropriate on transnational criminal organizations, terrorists, rogue security personnel and corrupt officials; and to help partner countries build their capacity to collect and analyze information especially intelligence.
Poaching has been described as a "low risk, high reward activity" and as such, it appeals to illegal groups. These groups not only pose a threat to animal conservation but they also negatively impact national, regional, and even global security interests through corrosive corruption, increased instability, diminished economic activity, and general criminality.
We know that the criminal syndicates that control illicit trafficking, participate in other smuggling to include drugs, weapons, people, contraband, and cigarettes. In doing so, they often find partners in terrorist and militia groups.
Poaching is one way that many of these groups finance & fuel their activities. For example, in 2013 the UN issued a report that linked Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army to elephant poachers in Central Africa. Other reports reflect the potential involvement of terrorist groups like Boko Haram and Al Shabaab in illegal wildlife trade.
Clearly, the IC is interested in these types of groups. As we focus on terrorist activities, weapons proliferation, and illegal drugs, we obtain information on how this contraband is acquired, transported, and sold - plus data on the organization and its leadership. This information can be of value to those engaged countering illicit trafficking of wildlife.
From a more strategic viewpoint, most of my colleagues would agree that wildlife trafficking is one of several critical issues which must be addressed, if Africa is to meet its potential as a major driver of economic growth in the 21st century. Aside from the moral imperative to leave a better world for future generations, illegal trafficking negatively impacts our African partners across a host of socio-economic aspects. These adverse impacts make our African partners less capable of addressing our shared national security interests.
I believe the professionals that serve in the Intelligence Community but especially those within the ranks of military intelligence can contribute to addressing this problem.
Military Intelligence, or MI, is responsible for bringing clarity to the battlefield for a range of customers from tactical commanders to senior war fighters and decision-makers. To do so, a MI operator must understand the enemy to include his organizational structure, leadership, equipment, operational propensity, and communications. He or she must also be conversant with the terrain on which this enemy force operates; ground which can both favor and restrict enemy and friendly forces. Finally, the Intel professional must understand the friendly force he or she is supporting to include their strengths and weakness.
In this analogy, the friendly force is a Partner Nation's wildlife service, and the enemy is poachers and other traffickers.
US Combat operations over the last decade plus, has forced the MI community to develop TTPs: or tactics, techniques and procedures necessary to attack and defeat a non-conventional enemy.
Many of the TTPs that the military has developed & refined to defeat a non-traditional enemy focus on networks. That includes networks that support terrorists, foreign fighter facilitators, illicit arms movements, piracy, narcotics trafficking, and human trafficking. In many respects, these networkers and those of illicit wildlife traffickers have a lot in common. Most important, the TPPs that MI has developed to understand and defeat these networks can be shared with governments and wildlife services.
Also relevant are the analytical skills of MI personnel and the capabilities of Intel systems that support them. These analytical tools depend on modern IT technologies to quickly ingest and process large amounts of data, correlate and parse it, to understand relationships that may not be readily evident.
In closing, I would emphasize that the intelligence community, particularly MI, is well positioned to bring time-tested techniques to the wildlife trafficking problem set.
However, despite strong support from the President and other key officials, and the overlap of illicit traffickers activities with other intelligence issues, wildlife issues still must compete for intelligence resources with other national security issues such as terrorism and countering the spread of weapons of mass destruction.
However, improved intelligence, while only a small part of the solution, can be a very powerful tool when properly employed.
GEOINT is probably the best postured of our intelligence disciplines to support Wildlife Security and Illicit Trafficking. GEOINT is the most naturally transparent intelligence discipline, and easiest to share with the people that are working this issue on the ground. I know that sharing GEOINT is something that DNI Clapper is going to talk about tomorrow and we can discuss during Q&As.

It is important to inspect three things on the water pump drive pulley and belt. Inspect 1. That the belt and pulleys are in proper alignment and that the belt is not rubbing on flywheel or edges of the pulleys 2. That the pulleys are not cracked 3. That the water pump impeller pulley fastener is tight and has adequate high strength thread lock agent applied. Below is the proper orientation of the water pump drive pulley, cover, and spacers.
Information: In an effort to reduce service volume, a maintenance-free ribbed Poly-V belt was adopted on all R1100 models from engine number 38946130 onwards (09/94 production onwards). This belt does not need to be retentioned (even at the 600 mile service). The old belt required replacement every 24,000 miles. The new style belt is to be replaced every 36,000 miles. Use the same torque procedure as the old belt. Replacement of an old style belt with the new maintenance free belt requires the use of the new parts below: Parts Kit: 12 31 1 342 086 (kit consists of the following) In addition to the Poly-V belt, the following parts were also changed: 1. Top pulley new: steel old: Aluminum 2. Bottom pulley new no spot welds: old: steel w/three spot welds on front 3. Belt new: Ribbed, printing on belt (1342059 Fa. Dayco) or (1341779 Fa. Conti) Slight squeaking may be heard for a short time after a cold start when temperature is below 50°F. The belt should reach it's correct operating tension soon after the start up. The belt only needs retentioned if the slight squeaking does not stop after warm up.
Remove the outer primary cover. Remove the front pulley, chain, compensator & chain adjuster Remove oil lines to primary and plug or clamp to prevent leakage. Cut the chain oiler hose 3 inches from the oil pump and permanently plug. All belts must be run dry without lubrication of any kind. Therefore, remove all oil from inside the primary covers. The spacer behind the front pulley should be removed prior to installing the belt drive. This spacer may or may not be required to correctly align the pulleys. If a spacer is needed for alignment, various sizes are available from your local Primo Belt Drives dealer (part number PX-1 =package of 6 various sizes). Install the front pulley supplied in the kit. Loop the belt around both pulleys to insure that you have the proper belt for your pulleys, then gently push the unit into place. Use the supplied washer & nut on the motor shaft. Torque the motor nut to 80-100 foot pounds. If installing a PC-1000-Aremove the clutch hub & clutch basket. On tapered shaft models check the fit on the shaft & the fit of the keyway in the hub. Install the key in the mainshaft, making sure it is firmly seated (use of super glue or threadlock in the keyway is helpful to keep the key from sliding out of the keyway during clutch installation). Tighten the clutch hub nut(left-hand thread) to 60-90 foot pounds. 1 After installing and adjusting clutch, track the belt by turning the pulleys. If needed use a straight edge between the front and rear pulleys to check alignment. Improper alignment of the pulleys will result in reduced belt life. Spacing the motor pulley outward will cause the belt to track towards the outer primary cover. If spaced too far out the belt will rub on the inside of the clutch shell. Before installing the primary cover be sure that everything inside clears both the outer and inner covers. In some cases a small amount of metal may need to be removed from one or more of the bosses on the inner or outer primary cover.


Learning how to transition your style between seasons is always a tricky – especially when the weather is shifting from winter to spring. Miya does a good job of easing her way into the season by opting for contrasting styles and going all-out with statement pieces.
I love Miya's style. She has a wide range of looks that she rocks on the daily, and she's not afraid to take risks. This ensemble is a prime example of how her city girl style bridges the gap between chilly and warm weather.
Miya's daisy print dress from Topshop has black lace details that give an otherwise playful dress some edge. Wearing an open denim shirt over the dress is a great option for transitioning into spring. The overall look is casual, but still very trendy.
Fashion-forward creepers are the perfect way to add some height without the heels. These black-and-white TUK creepers make a major statement, and give Miya's outfit a unique twist.
This brass-toned necklace from H&M pulls Miya's entire outfit together. The tiered look adds visual interest, while the spiked pendants play up the edgy vibe found throughout her ensemble.
What do you think of Miya's outfit?
Do you love the way she wore a daisy-print dress with a bold necklace and chambray top? What do you think of her bold footwear choice? How have you been dressing during the winter-to-spring transition? Let us know by leaving a comment below!


The cumulative effects of excessive alcohol consumption, especially when associated with a poor diet, affect every part of the body. The two main sites of damage are the liver and the nervous system.The liver may become progressively damaged through a condition known as cirrhosis, which may lead to liver failure, liver cancer and death.
The nervous system may be damaged at many levels. Damage to the brain can interfere with intellectual function, and increase the risk of anxiety and depression, confusion and dementia. Damage to the peripheral nervous system can lead to loss of balance, impotence, numbness of the feet and hands, tremor and blindness. Alcoholism is also implicated in diabetes, inflammation of the pancreas, internal bleeding, weakening of the heart, high blood pressure and stroke.
According to KJ Patel from Cambridge University, Alcohol is a well-established cancer causing agent, he says.
Alcohol causes 2.5 million deaths a year, which represents 3.7% of all deaths worldwide and is the 3rd major cause of death in developed countries (Source: WHO). In developing countries where overall mortality is low, alcohol is the leading cause of illness and disease. Damage to human life can be described in terms of loss of "disability-adjusted life years – DALYs. This measure takes into account the number of years lost due to premature deaths plus the years spent living with disability.
Worldwide, alcohol causes a loss of almost 54 million DALYs annually, which is about 4% of the total loss of DALYs from all causes. Mental disorders and diseases of the nervous system account for 40% of DALYs lost because of alcohol.
In addition over 76 million people are currently affected by alcohol dependence and alcohol abuse.
In the UK over 50 million people drink alcohol (Source: NHS), only 5 million do not. Alcotox will benefit anyone who drinks alcohol, even in moderate amounts and not only people who drink to intoxication levels.Alcohol is thought to be responsible for 34,000 deaths in the UK each year because of the damage it does to the body, plus many more deaths due to the indirect effect of alcohol on others.

Wow, its so amazing..!now they look really good & stylish!
I'm sure they fit with almost every outfit.
I very much admire the smoothness of the table in the first picture but all of the designs are particularly sophisticated and practical at the same time. They have a space-age look about them that appeals to my own style and taste. I wonder if they design any kind of storage pieces with the same elegant aspects.


Last November, the voters told the South Summit Board of Education that they did not agree with the $58.6 million bond measure the Board had placed on the ballot. But in a district where libraries are being used for classrooms and class sizes continue to inflate, school officials know that another bond attempt is in the near future.
At the last Board meeting, members signaled their intent to pursue another bond measure on the 2019 ballot. The funds from the bond would be used to construct a high school on the same land the district intended to build one on last time around, said Jim Snyder, president of the Board. The district owns 150 acres of land outside of the Kamas city limits, north of S.R. 248.
The Board did not formally vote on the matter.
"Our original plan for a high school was a good one, and we need to try again," he said.
He said the Board still believes a high school would make the greatest impact on the overcrowding issues the district is facing. The failure of the bond in 2017 was due to misinformation and a lack of communication to voters, not the plan itself, he said.
For example, Snyder said there were incorrect rumors last fall about the cost and amenities of the athletic field for the new high school. He said the Board has not made any decisions about whether or not there will be athletic fields at the new high school envisioned in a future bond measure. He said Board members are split between the need for athletic facilities and the need for a bond to have a lower price tag.
Other constituents were concerned about the land itself, since it is technically a wetland. Snyder said a company has studied the land to see how the ecosystem might affect the construction, and he said the Board was "encouraged by the report" because the majority of the property it usable and buildable.
Shad Sorenson, superintendent of the district, said the same plans for grade realignment considered with the previous bond would go into effect if a bond passes in 2019. The existing elementary school would be used for preschool through second grade, the existing middle school would be used for grades three through five and the current high school would be used for grades six through eight. Since none of those students would be able to drive, the grade realignment would help remove the burden of parking, because Sorenson said parking is limited at the high school.
The new high school would serve students from grades nine through 12.
Sorenson said the construction of the high school is phase two of the Board's multi-year master plan. Phase one included the construction of the Silver Summit Academy and capital improvement projects at existing schools to ensure they are safe and secure.
After the high school is finished, the district intends to bond again to construct elementary schools in Francis, Silver Summit and Oakley over time, Sorenson said.
"What we have been doing is (asking) what do we want it to look like in 2050, what do we think it is going to look like in 2050, and working our way back to this point to say, 'How do we start the growth going toward that vision?" Snyder said.
Snyder expects that the size of the bond will be higher next year than last year's because of the rising costs of materials and construction.
Sorenson said the next step is to get community input. The Board hopes to put a committee together with district staff and community members to discuss how the building and classrooms in the high school would look. A political interest committee unaffiliated with the district is also forming to advocate for the bond, Sorenson said. The Board will meet with the committee to answer questions as they come up.

Legal and General
Southwood Crescent, Apollo Rise, Farnborough
Duration of the Project:
June 2018 – August 2018
The Crescent in Farnborough was built in the 1980s and comprises of six two & three storey commercial office buildings, each occupying an area of 1000 m2. These large office blocks were home to large corporations such as Airbus and Boeing over the years but have since become redundant. General Demolition were contracted by Legal & General to carry out the strip out works as well as addressing the site security issues and vegetation clearance to the entire site.
All six buildings were stripped of all fixtures and fittings, including floor covering, ceilings, internal partitions and all electrical and plumbing services. All waste was segregated into individual waste streams and removed to the car park area, a 20t excavator would then dispose of the material into large waste bins ready for collection from site. This process was repeated for each building and client sign off was given on completion of each structure. The team then focused on the vegetation clearance to the surrounding area leaving a clear site for the future development.
The security of the site was a priority on the project due to the open nature of the Crescent which was currently being used as a cut-through by the local community. General Demolition were tasked with installing over 650 linear metres of 3-metre-high hoarding to the whole perimeter of the 4.4-hectare site which was then finished in the Clients choice of colour and graphics. The team worked closely with the local tree officer to ensure that the hoarding had zero impact on the surrounding trees and ecology in the area. This continuous screen provided the necessary security and site finish required by the Client.
Challenges were overcome through diligent planning, co-ordination and comprehensive communication within the team. Internal and external Health and Safety audits were also carried out throughout, resulting in zero accidents or incidents.
In keeping with General Demolition's safe working policies, the project was completed on time with no reported incidents and an overall score of 98% recyclability.

Many comic book superheroes possess amazing powers. A few, like Batman or Iron Man, are relatively normal human beings who rely on their training and gadgets to get the upper hand on villains. Iron Man's suit is the Swiss Army Knife of the super gadget world. It can fly, it's impervious to most forms of damage and it features repulsor beams that can blast holes in masonry.
Throughout the history of the Iron Man appearances in comics, television shows and films there have been many versions of the armor. Some are large and bulky, resembling a tank more than anything else. Others are sleek -- one suit even had the ability to fold up into a suitcase. How Stark managed to carry around a suit like that without his back giving out remains something of a mystery.
With an Iron Man suit, casual Friday at the HowStuffWorks.com office would take on a new meaning. And it sure would be handy to step out onto our balcony and fly off to grab lunch -- there'd be no need to wait on those pesky elevators!

The Girl on the Train: A Novel
Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller "The Girl on the Train has more fun with unreliable narration than any chiller since Gone Girl. . . . [It] is liable to draw a large, bedazzled readership."—The New York Times "Like its train, the story blasts through the stagnation of these lives in suburban London and the reader cannot help but turn pages."—The Boston Globe "Gone Girl fans will devour this psychological thriller."—People A debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She's even started to feel like she knows them. "Jess and Jason," she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost. And then she sees something shocking. It's only a minute until the train moves on, but it's enough. Now everything's changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good? Compulsively readable, The Girl on the Train is an emotionally immersive, Hitchcockian thriller and an electrifying debut.

Whether you're obsessed with fashion styles and excitedly wait the arrival of each and every new garments season or you just need an operating wardrobe in which suits yourself, you'll desire to wear things that fit fantastic, look fantastic, and match up your persona. No make a difference what your own personal style could be, there are usually certainly retailers that discuss your perception of trend and layout. When you will find a store that provides your sensibilities, you'll without doubt see garments and components you'd love to enhance your assortment.
There are advantages to shopping with a boutique more than a big package store. These specialized shops do much more than inventory clothes. The master's curatorial sense will most likely determine just what designers are usually on exhibit. The store experience permeates all areas of the particular shop. They often times play stylish music that may soundtrack your time and energy in the particular store. Employees have a tendency to dress inside the clothes the shop sells and so are quite zealous and experienced in the merchandise inside the store. When you could go shopping at greater, less particular stores, there's nothing can beat the entertaining and excitement that is included with shopping with places which can be catering right to you.
As soon as you find any shop you want, it will go on to the top of one's list for almost any future purchasing excursions. These lenders are always trying to find new items to bring inside, and you could expect a different number of clothing and also accessories each season. Whether you will need summery shorts and shirts that may help you stay great and secure or you're looking to replenish on scarfs, denims, and any jacket for your cold weeks ahead, you will discover great, stylish options on the applicable time of the year.
Because displays are increasingly being redesigned to be able to showcase the newest arrivals and also old clothes has to be sold to produce way for your new, you will find deals about out-of-season items with a boutique. While any coat may well not do significantly immediate good if you are shopping inside April, May well, or Summer, you will get a bargain by using an item that may inevitably help make its approach into turn. By keeping an eye fixed out regarding sales, you can easily assemble really the number of clothes although paying way less.
From assisting you to find the right outfit with an upcoming function to providing you access for the clothes you should express the identity, boutiques are far beyond the best destination for a shop. As opposed to continuing to search at uninspiring retailers with tiny personality, find retailers that inventory the developers and types that speak right to you.

TRUTH OR SCAM? Panhandler asks for money to help 'bury his son'
PHOENIX (KSAZ) - It's a problem that seems to be getting worse all the time: people holding up signs at street corners, looking for a handout.
Panhandlers often set up at freeway off-ramps, where the red lights give them a chance to ask for money, claiming they are homeless, hungry, or out of work.
Many use props: some use wheelchairs, while others claim to be veterans. Some would look for shade by the side of the road, while others would dart through traffic for a donation, all in search for money.
There's at least one person, however, who is using a unique strategy that some on social media are calling a scam.
This person held up a big sign that says "help bury my son", and there's a Facebook page devoted to him, titled "Stop the 'Help Bury My Son' Scam". People who are unhappy with his efforts have been posting photos of him for years, and there are more than 2,000 members on the site. Some even confronted him on the street.
Our cameras first spotted the man in the area of Tatum and Shea. He did not answer any of our questions. Our cameras later followed the man, as he walked eastbound on Shea, where he stopped once to make a phone call, stopped at a Shell gas station to buy something, and then spent a minute or so standing behind a transformer.
The man then hopped on a bus to Scottsdale and Shea, walking right past our cameras as he got off the bus, and started working the northwest corner of the intersection. We tried again to talk to the person, this time only using a phone to record the conversation. The man claims his son died from Muscular Dystrophy two weeks ago.
According to discovered documents, the man's son did pass away, but in 2014. The son was cremated, with the county footing the $250 bill. The son's ashes were returned to the family. The panhandler denied that his son was cremated at county expense, and refused repeated questions on why he is raising money.
While some have been arrested for trespassing on state property, street panhandling remains, for the most part, legal in Arizona.

Department of Justice files lawsuit over Georgia's new election law
By FOX 5 Digital Team
ATLANTA - The Justice Department has filed a federal lawsuit against the state of Georgia over its new voting law that includes restrictions on voting by mail and greater legislative control over how elections are run.
Attorney General Merrick Garland, Justice Department's Civil Rights Division head Kristen Clarke, and others members of the department made the announcement about the lawsuit Friday morning.
The lawsuit targets Georgia's overhaul of its elections, which was signed by Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in March following record-breaking turnout that led to Democratic victories in the presidential contest and two U.S. Senate runoffs in the once reliably red state.
Garland said that the DOJ's lawsuit "alleges that recent changes to Georgia's election laws were enacted with the purpose of denying or abridging the right of Black Georgians to vote on account of their race or color."
The Georgia law requires a photo ID in order to vote absentee by mail, after more than 1.3 million Georgia voters used that option during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also cuts the time people have to request an absentee ballot and limits where ballot drop boxes can be placed and when they can be accessed.
At the press conference, Clarke said the law requires "new and unnecessary requirements" to request an absentee ballot.
Clarke also said the lawsuit will target a part of the law that makes it a misdemeanor to hand out "any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and drink" to anyone standing in line to vote. The prohibition extends 150 feet from a polling place and 25 feet from any person standing in line.
Republicans say the law is needed to restore confidence in Georgia's elections. Democrats and voting rights groups say the law will disproportionately disenfranchise voters of color. Speaking after the bill was signed, President Joe Biden called such GOP efforts "un-American" and "sick.
As of mid-May, 22 restrictive laws had passed in at least 14 states, according to the Brennan Center for Justice, which researches voting and supports expanded access.
The increased enforcement of voting rights laws also signals that Biden and Clarke -- who was one of the nation's leading civil rights attorneys before her nomination to lead the department's civil rights division -- are making good on a promise to refocus the department around civil rights after a tumultuous four years during the Trump administration.
Georgia Republicans respond to lawsuit
After the lawsuit's announcement, both Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Gov. Brian Kemp have responded, each one saying the lawsuit was based on lies.
"The Biden Administration continues to do the bidding of Stacey Abrams and spreads more lies about Georgia's election law. Their lies already cost Georgia $100 million and got the President awarded with four Pinocchios" Raffensperger said. "It is no surprise that they would operationalize their lies with the full force of the federal government. I look forward to meeting them, and beating them, in court."
In his statement, Kemp also referenced Stacey Abrams saying that this lawsuit came after she, Biden and others "tried to force an unconstitutional elections power grab."
"This lawsuit is born out of the lies and misinformation the Biden administration has pushed against Georgia's Election Integrity Act from the start," Kemp said. "Joe Biden, Stacey Abrams, and their allies tried to force an unconstitutional elections power grab through Congress - and failed. Now, they are weaponizing the U.S. Department of Justice to carry out their far-left agenda that undermines election integrity and empowers federal government overreach in our democracy. As Secretary of State, I fought the Obama Justice Department twice to protect the security of our elections - and won. I look forward to going three for three to ensure it's easy to vote and hard to cheat in Georgia."

There was construction going on, therefore messy. Room was small. Location was far from everything. Generally speaking, it was NOT worth the money. Had it been $50.00 less it would only been fair.
The location was good not to far across town. The parking was acceptable considering all the trailers in the lot. Breakfast was plentiful and they kept it stocked.
Average hotel chain breakfast. Location was just fine. Very pet friendly with nice staff.

The breakfast was good with an ok selection. The eggs were the best eggs we have ever had at a hotel breakfast bar. The staff very friendly and helpful.
Yes. We had a nice stay and the staff was more than accommodating.

I think they gouged us a little on the price, the hotel was under renovation. The refrigerator froze some expensive medicine, $225 a dose. I couldn't use it. and very minor, they didn't replace the water or coffee cups during our stay.
Access up stairs in back or down long hall ways. They did provide roller to help move our luggage.
Not much, breakfast was limited as well.
Although the room was clean there was a dried dog poop on the carpet.
Found our Room Perfect, Your Staff at the desk was a friendley and helpfull.
The bathroom and especially the shower was very small. When I booked 3 rooms it implied that the remodeling was already complete which it was NOT. Wall paper was peeling off the walls the heaters were noisy stinky and loud.
Staff and breakfast were good.
There was construction in the hotel, so things were a bit loud at times.
close to town. Nice and quiet.
My only complaint would be the television in the room. There was a guide with a lot of channels and even an HBO guide but the TV had no HBO and only 13 channels none of which appealed to us.
Eakfast area was really small, you couldn't find a place to set -they ran out of food and coffee people had to wait in line to get a cup of coffee. The area is just to tiny to be advertising"free breakfast. we would not stay there again!
Biscuits were hockey pucks. ;) The light over our sink was seizure inducing.
The hot and cold for water facet in our room was reversed. They were still doing construction on the elevator.
The hot tub was hot but the jets weren't working.

Q: Google Sheets getActiveRange on change I have a function starting off as such
function onEdit2(e) {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
  // Returns the active cell
  var activeRange = sheet.getActiveRange();

  Logger.log(activeRange.getA1Notation());

I have this function triggered 'on change' in a spreadsheet (it was originally on edit, hence the name, but that isn't triggered by changing background color, which is kinda critical to what I'm doing with this).
This always writes A1 to the logger, no matter what part of the spreadsheet I have selected, and it does the same thing with getActiveCell in place of getActiveRange.
Is there any way to get the selected range when a script runs?

A: This is a serious drawback with this new trigger type. There has already been an issue raised about it:
Issue 2751: SpreadSheet onChange() trigger
Visit & star the issue to receive updates. It would be helpful to add your own observations as well, since the original issue has been entered as an enhancement request, but the fact that the trigger doesn't know the changed range is bug-flavoured.

Create new, alien worlds with dramatic soundscapes. Sculpt the soundtrack to nightmares and daydreams. Push the boundaries of cinematic composition. The Cinematic & Atmospheres Booster Pack includes the tools to stimulate new sonic ideas and push your creativity, all in one ultimate collection.
Add new dimensions to your sound with thousands of effects, synths, and loops with the Cinematic & Atmospheres Booster Pack. Establish mood, paint emotive imagery, and develop motifs with a collection of ten vibrant ReFills from the Propellerhead Shop. The pathway to red carpets and silver screens is only a download away.
Fading sunshine, Polaroid memories and neon starbursts. These form the visual backdrops to Chillwave—the definitive collection of lo-fi melodics, beach-hazed beats and tape-saturated music loops that encompass the spirit of Chillwave. All that, plus your favorite elements of synth-pop, chillout, indie and nu-wave are included just for good measure.
Impact: Steel was designed to be as playable as possible on both drum controllers and MIDI keyboards. All main patches are key mapped without overlap and can be loaded on a single channel for instant playability of all instruments. On a MIDI keyboard, hits are mapped to black keys, while scrapes, rolls, and tremolos are mapped to white keys. This increases ease of playing for composers without dedicated drum controllers.
Netherworld inhabits a dark place between musical sounds and sound effects. Subterranean rumbling. Alien life forces growing. Metallic screeches. Druidic choirs. Ominous deep drones. In other words, every sound for any visual you can imagine. Netherworld features 165 NNXT and 90 Combinators that are truly playable (and tuned where appropriate) with many subtle, or not so subtle, changes available via realtime- modwheel and/or aftertouch over Reason's multi pole filters, envelopes, LFOs, effects, or cross-fading to another sound entirely.
Vast is packed with 465 unique and beautiful Combinators that use Thor's extensive modulation possibilities to create expressive, highly playable sounds that are full of movement. Every patch sits comfortably in a useful frequency range, so you can drop any patch into a mix and write music without having to tweak them.
Vast contains 100 atmosphere & FX patches, 42 bass patches, 58 keys and polysynths, 100 leads and monosynths, 100 pads and 65 sequencer based synths. The sequencer can be switched off for each of the sequenced synths, providing an extra 65 mono and polysynths to use with your own sequences. Combinator control mappings are useful—all patches give you control of the amplitude envelope to sculpt these sounds to your needs, whilst the Mod Wheel provides variety in tone. And the buttons allow you to alter the timbre of the patch and activate or deactivate reverb and delay quickly.
Nucleus SoundLab would like to introduce you to a brand-new ReFill exclusively built for Reason—Celluloid Beats. Celluloid Beats features a unique set of cinematic percussion loops suitable for film scoring, game sound design, IDM and other electronic genres. The loops inside have been specially processed using a proprietary additive vocoding techique to emphasize long, smooth decay stages.
These loops sound great at virtually any tempo thanks to being sampled using Wide BPM technology—anywhere from 60bpm to 300bpm is fair game. There is no reason to be limited by the original tempo of a loop any more!
Each Combinator patch in Celluloid Beats contains 8 loops—1 original loop and 7 creative loop remixes. This is achieved by using the Slice Edit Mode on Dr. OctoRex to change filtering, decay, volume, and more on a per-step basis for each loop. Unique FX are added to each patch which are used to effect specific loop slices—so each slice in a loop can have a different distortion, filter or delay.
Celluloid Beats also comes packed with all its loops in raw REX2 format outside the ReFill itself at no additional charge. So users can easily load these loops into other sampler, such as Kontakt, Ableton Live, Battery and more without any hassles.
Produced specifically with the big screen in mind, the Cinematic Drums ReFill for Reason contains loops and samples that will quickly conjure up specific moods and imagery in your tracks. From thunderous walls of pounding toms, to angst-ridden, heart pulsing beats, this collection is a must-have for anyone who composes for film. Every individual drum, cymbal, pot and pan, are meticulously sampled, allowing you to quickly program your own grooves using the Kong Drum Designer and ReDrum step sequencer.
But don't let the name of this collection fool you, Cinematic Drums can also add an extra sonic dimension to your pop, rock, dance and jazz tracks. Slide in some Civil War era field drums under a traditional drum set groove or layer timpani-esque toms on top of your 808 loops and you'll quickly have the extra depth in your productions that standard loop sets simply can't provide.
OB Resurrection is a stunning new Refill created by Nucleus SoundLab focused on evolving classic analog synth sounds into the new millennium.
OB Resurrection relies on a large waveform base drawn from various Xpander and Matrix synths. Every classic sound is represented: Brass, Strings, Bells, raw Saw/Square/FM waveforms, Clavs, EPs, and many more. Not only that, but a significant portion of the waves were created by running the synths through various analog and digital FX to create never-before-imagined sounds!
230mb of carefully sampled/looped OB waveforms.
88 Custom Combinators by Adam Fielding and Jeremy Janzen.
In the tradition of the acclaimed and best-selling Polar Elements, Floe is an all-new collection of stunning ambient winter-themed Combinator instruments and ensembles. Icy pads, bone chilling frozen soundscapes, and more are included. Floe is powered by a brand-new set of New Atlantis Audio's custom-designed 24-bit granular field recording soundscapes, with loop points and root notes embedded within for easy mixing, matching and experimentation. Drop these source files into any sample player in the rack to create new instruments of your own, or drop them directly onto your Reason timeline and loop away. If you are creating soundtracks, ambient, new age, chillout, down-tempo, or just need to inject some dramatic and chilly vibes into your music and scoring projects, this ReFill is for you.
Add a distinct sense of suspense, pressure and dark atmosphere to your music and scoring projects with this unique set of Combinator instruments for Reason.
Powered by a brand new set of handcrafted 24-bit steam recording soundscapes, Pressure is bursting at the weld seams with a diverse set of dense and playable atmospheric rack instruments, with loads of "tweakability" and hands-on control.
Use the 100+ MB of sample footage to create new instruments of your own, or drop them directly into the timeline in Record and go nuts.
Not all science fiction depicts the future and vast depths of uncharted space as a vast playground of wondrous beauty. Instead, some future visions are darker, bleaker. More like Prometheus, Terminator, or Blade Runner, than Star Trek (to use a cinematic metaphor). While The Resonant Drop does contain some pretty, shimmering, deep space ambiences, it is mostly intended for that more disconcerting, perhaps even downright scary, future-vision.

Bullarens landskommun var en tidigare kommun i dåvarande Göteborgs och Bohus län.

Administrativ historik
Kommunen bildades som en så kallad storkommun vid den riksomfattande kommunreformen 1952 genom sammanläggning av de tidigare kommunerna Mo och Naverstad.

Den upplöstes vid utgången av år 1970 och området uppgick i Tanums kommun.

Dess kommunkod var 1433.

Administrativt tillhörde kommunen till 1965 Tanums landsfiskalsdistrikt samt före 1967 till Norrvikens fögderi, därefter till Strömstads fögderi. Judiciellt hörde kommunen till Norrvikens tingslag i Norrvikens domsaga.

Kyrklig tillhörighet
I kyrkligt hänseende tillhörde kommunen Mo församling och Naverstads församling.

Geografi
Bullarens landskommun omfattade den 1 januari 1952 en areal av 374,84 km², varav 341,51 km² land.

Tätorter i kommunen 1960
I Bullarens landskommun fanns den 1 november 1960 ingen tätort. Tätortsgraden i kommunen var då alltså 0,0 procent.

Weather Radar for Orbost
Bairnsdale Weather Watch Radar
LOCATION: Approximately 9km south-west of Bairnsdale
TYPE: DWSR 2502 C Band
AVAILABILITY: 24 hours
Geographical Situation: The Gippsland radar is situated on the coastal plain at the airport about nine kilometres south-west of the city of Bairnsdale. The Great Dividing Range, stretching east to west north of the radar, regularly reaches 1000m in elevation, with many ridges exceeding 1500m and peaking at 1986m at Mt Bogong approximately 130km to the north-north-west. Meteorological Aspects: This location provides good coverage of nearly all of the catchments of rivers flowing south from the Great Dividing Range. The radar's standard coverage, taken as the maximum range at which rainfall can be detected at 3000m altitude, extends to the east as far as Gabo Island, south to the northern tip of Flinders Island, and west to the eastern shores of Westernport Bay. Inland from the west through north to the east, the coverage is reduced by the Great Dividing Range along an arc from Marysville, to just south of Bright and Mount Bogong, the headwaters of the Murray River and then through to Delegate and back to Gabo Island. The radar is well situated to provide weather watch for south eastern Victoria from the crest of the Great Dividing Range along the coastal plains of east, central and west Gippsland and eastern Bass Strait. The radar's coverage overlaps the Melbourne radar by about 100km and these two radars provide contiguous coverage from Cape Otway in the west through to Gabo Island in the east. Summer thunderstorms that develop on the surrounding hills and mountains may be observed in detail. Cold fronts and low pressure systems with their associated rain and thunderstorms may be effectively detected as they approach from the northwest, through west and south or develop over eastern Bass Strait. Non-meteorological aspects: In most cases the processing of the radar signal removes permanent echoes caused by obstructions such as hills, buildings and other solid objects. Occasionally, some permanent echoes will not be completely removed from the display. These echoes usually occur as isolated, stationary patches along the Great Dividing Range, the Strzeleki Ranges and the peaks on Wilsons Promontory. These usually become more noticeable on cold, clear, winter nights or early winter mornings when cold air lies near the land's surface. Because the radar has an unobstructed view of Bass Strait and also parts of the Gippsland Lakes; 'sea-clutter', due to waves, may be seen over these waters during strong winds out to about 25km from the coast. These echoes may be distinguished from rain as they do not move with the wind and end abruptly at the shoreline. Sea clutter may become more prominent when hot northerly winds blow over these cooler waters. Occasionally, particularly when it is cool, ships can produce radar echoes, which often appear as small areas of high intensity rainfall. Because the ships are moving, they can not be automatically removed by the permanent echo filter.

Coronary calcification presents multiple technical challenges in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and is associated with suboptimal procedural results and an increase in subsequent adverse clinical events (1). Currently, there is no standardized evidence-based strategy for PCI of calcified coronary lesions. Decisions for the use of adjunctive atheroablation—shown to increase the acute procedural success rates (2)—are based on visual estimation of calcification severity on angiography (with its inherent limitations ) or when delivery of devices is impeded by calcified deposits in the vessel wall. Although the so-called "rota-regret" remains common following suboptimal acute procedural results in calcified plaques not prepared by atheroablation, the current lack of data to demonstrate improved long-term cardiovascular outcomes and an association with greater late lumen loss with adjunctive atheroablation (1) contribute to the controversy.
High-resolution intravascular imaging by optical coherence tomography (OCT) has the potential to guide all steps of PCI in order to provide an integrated, more standardized approach in treating calcified lesions. These steps are illustrated in Figure 1. OCT allows for accurate quantitation of the extent and severity of calcification that may aid in clinical decision-making (i.e., upfront use of adjunctive atheroablation and device selection). Compared with intravascular ultrasound, calcification depth can also be assessed in addition to circumferential arc, thus providing accurate measurement of calcification area, shown to negatively correlate with the degree of stent expansion (3). Moreover, OCT may allow for assessment of the modifying effects of atheroablation and adequacy of lesion preparation. Atherectomy-assisted plaque modification (e.g., by orbital atherectomy in Figure 1) results in modest area gain that may facilitate delivery of the interventional devices; whereas adjunctive balloon dilation can cause fracture and intraplaque dissections, leading to larger lumen gain (Figure 1) and improved stent expansion and more uniform stent apposition. Indeed, calcium fracture has been associated with higher stent expansion and lower in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis (4), and we recognize it as a potentially important mechanism for optimization of PCI in calcified lesions. Calcium fracture in plaques with a combination of wide arc (to allow for the 2 edges of the calcium deposit to be pushed by balloon in order to induce fracture) and low calcium thickness (to increase fragility) on OCT (3) indicates the possibility to derive calcium fragility parameters on OCT to guide appropriate strategies for lesion preparation. Moreover, using the external elastic lamina-based measurements we have tested in the ILUMIEN III (ILUMIEN III: OPTIMIZE PCI) study (NCT02471586) (5), OCT allows for accurate and precise determination of vessel dimensions and thus selection of appropriate balloon and stent sizes, which may be over- or underestimated in the presence of heavy calcification on angiography. Lastly, with the angiography coregistration feature, OCT can guide stent deployment and targeted post-dilation of underexpanded segments to optimize procedural results (Figure 1).
(A) Ischemia-producing diffuse stenosis in the left anterior descending coronary artery, without discrete segment of step-up along the fractional flow reserve (FFR) pullback. (B) On optical coherence tomography (OCT), presence of superficial and deep calcification of varying morphology and severity along the length of the artery led to the decision to modify the plaques by orbital atherectomy (OA). (C and D) OA caused differential ablation of the calcium sheets along the guidewire course in the shape of a smooth luminal surface with cylindrical geometry, forming a groove that followed the guidewire course (arrows with ∼40% luminal gain). After balloon dilation, multiple fractures and medial dissection were observed, leading to ∼70% additional area gain. (E) After deployment of 2 drug-eluting stents, minimal luminal areas in proximal and distal halves of the revascularized segment were compared with their respective reference segments (due to the long lesion length and natural tapering of the vessel) and were deemed adequately expanded. (F) Final result on angiography and relief of ischemia on FFR pullback. Image analysis was performed on CAAS Intravascular (Pie Medical, Maastricht, the Netherlands). MSA = minimal stent area; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention; ref = reference.
Thus, OCT guidance may optimize PCI on calcified lesions, for instance, making revascularization feasible in an extensively calcified artery with documented ischemia that may have been otherwise deemed unsuitable for PCI due to diffuse disease or bypass-grafting because of poor distal target (Figure 1). It is important to note that pre-PCI OCT may be technically challenging in severely calcified stenotic lesions due to inadequate blood clearance or failure to deliver the imaging catheter, necessitating plaque modification before image acquisition. Specifically addressing the areas highlighted would set the scene for prospective randomized trials to investigate OCT-guided atherectomy (including efficacy of different atherectomy devices) versus no-atherectomy approaches and their effects on long-term clinical outcomes.

In Space We Brawl
In Space We Brawl is a Chaotic Combat Game with Tons of Customizable Weapons
News 8/29/2014 at 10:00 AM by John Bardinelli 0
In space, we come up with a bunch of jokes that start with "in space".
The folks at Forge Reply really like to spend their lunch breaks screaming at and taunting each other. From those sandwich-fueled yelling sessions, In Space We Brawl was born. It's kind of like a twin stick shooter crossed with a beat-em-up game, but because it takes place in space, there's a lot more room to maneuver. Also, no one can hear you scream, so be sure to yell extra loud.
One of the focal points of In Space We Brawl is diversity in fighting styles. Players can choose from a variety of spaceships and weapons, mixing and matching eleven types of each for a total of over 100 unique combinations. Maybe you want a speedy but weak Pulsar ship that's got a plasma sword. Maybe you want something with a sniper rifle that's got an energy output to do some real damage. Or maybe, just maybe, you want to pilot a Striker, which uses grabs asteroids and slings them around as weapons.
Once you've come up with your own insane ship creation, it's time to test it out. In Space We Brawl supports four player local co-op matches in arenas littered with weapons, debris, asteroids, and AI-controlled ships. The co-op just barely falls under our definition of what a cooperative game should have, so in addition to working together to vanquish AI enemies, be prepared for a little "just friends" competition between players. In space we fight about who's the best.
In Space We Brawl is heading to PS3 and PS4 sometime between now and the end of all things. Developer Forge Reply promises more info about weapons and battlegrounds soon!
