Rogers Breaks Ground on First AML Pilot Project in E. Ky.
PIKEVILLE, Ky. (August 3, 2017) -- On Thursday, U.S. Rep. Harold "Hal" Rogers (KY-05) joined state and local leaders in Pikeville to break ground on the Kentucky Enterprise Industrial Park at Marion's Branch in Pikeville, Kentucky. The project is one of the first Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) Pilot Program projects in the country. Congressman Rogers has championed the AML Pilot Program in Washington since 2016 to help boost reclamation and economic development in coal producing states that have been hardest hit by the recent decline of the coal industry.
"The War on Coal left behind 12,000 laid off coal miners in Eastern Kentucky, but the outlook is much better standing on the mountaintop where economic developent and broadband connectivity are in the pipeline," said Congressman Rogers. "The AML Pilot Program is already helping restore our land, so we can create jobs, build upon our infrastructure and improve tourism opportunities across the region."
The $5 million grant will help construct a 50,000 square-foot spec building at the Kentucky Enterprise Industrial Park, which includes 400 acres of available reclaimed land.
Thus far, seven projects in Eastern Kentucky have been awarded AML Pilot Program grants through the Office of Surface Mining and Reclamation Enforcment and the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet.
Since 2016, Congress has approved $195 million for the AML Pilot Program, of which Kentucky has received $55 million.
The Kentucky Enterprise Industrial Park has also received $34.6 million in grants and loans for the property purchase, construction of a new road and bridge, and new sewer, water and transmission lines. The infrastructure funding for the project was supported by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development, the Economic Development Administration, a Community Development Block Grant, and coal severance money.
As part of the AML grant, conduit will be installed for high speed broadband through the KentuckyWired initiative that will provide 1 gigabyte service to the park.
The AML Pilot project is a joint effort by the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development, Department for Local Government, Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet and the Energy and Environment Cabinet, Division of Abandoned Mine Lands.

Never did get clear as to what was a "rairoad ghost town". If you are talking Sayre, PA and Binghamton, NY, then Susquehanna and Carbondale, PA have to be there, too. But in all four cases the towns around them still exist plus all four have quite a bit of railroad activities, Susquehanna having no yard or industry and only one round trip or less daily and Carbondale which is handled by a short line up from Scranton; but they all lack the large or multi railroad facilities of the mid 20th Century.. Or if you want to talk about a town like Ronovo, PA which in itself is so contracted since the PRR shops were closed that you could almost call it a ghost town; similar to Susquehanna, but much smaller. Or a real ghost town like Laquin, PA for one example, where the once thriving logging industry supported the Susquehanna and NY Railroad and today the cinder path is all that remains of that era. I bet there are thousands of stories similar to all the above. Just need a definition to decide what the initial post was seeking.

The east coast is too populated to call anything a ghost town.
Thats more like it.
DON'T BE TOO
Don't be too sure, UP. I've been in enough places in the mid-Atlantic and New England states to get pictures just like yours! And all railroad facilities and towns, too!! Just wish I had a camera with me.

If you come to Indiana we have a few ghost towns, and a few partial ghost towns. North Judson, In. had the C & O, ERIE, P.R.R., and the N.Y.C. However the old C & O is now owned by the city of North Judson, In. It is operated by the Chesapeke and Indiana R.R. And the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum owns the old ERIE yards there. La Crosse, In. had the C & O, PM, PRR, MONON, C & E I / C A & S. the Chesapeke and Indiana operates the C & O and the PM. Akron, In. had the Winona R.R. and the ERIE. Wilders, In. had the MONON, ERIE, C & E I / C A & S. San Pierre, In. had the MONON and N.Y.C. Peru, IN. had the WABASH VALLEY TRACTION, WINONA RAILROAD AND TRACTION CO., WABASH R.R., C & O, AND THE N.K.P. Now just the old Wabash mainline is still in service and used by the Norfolk/Southern for its Detroit - St. Louis- Kansas City artery. Zadoc, In. had the C & E I / C A & S and the C & W V. Veedersburg, In. had the C & E I / C A & S, P & E, and the N.K.P. Percy Jtc, In. was where the C & E I / C A & S had a coal dock, water tower, depot, this is where the mainline came up from Attica, In. and it split off toward Momence, In. and a line branched off toward La Crosse, In. I'll have more for you in the future.

[Second verse, same as the first!]
This is a modification of comments I posted under the "Gray Lumber" thread in the DelMarVa forums.
Norfolk Southern (NS) operates most of the old Norfolk, Franklin & Danville (NF&D) line, formerly the Atlantic & Danville (A&D), from West Norfolk (today part of Portsmouth) to Lawrenceville. The tracks used to run to Danville but have been abandoned west of Lawrenceville.
A true ghost "town" of sorts exists on the old NF&D. That town is Arringdale in Southampton county. A narrow-gauge spur served a lumber mill, which had houses for workers nearby. (The nearby portion of the main line had three rails for standard and 3' gauges. The old A&D had a 3' gauge branch that ran from the main tracks near Emporia to Charemont on the James River.)
In the mid-1960s, when the mill closed, the houses were demolished and the town ceased to exist. Some foundations and a couple of crumbling commercial buildings remain but are badly overgrown. The narrow-gauge spur and the third rail on the main tracks are long gone, of course.
Taking a vehicle on the paths around the vicinity of Arringdale is risky unless you have a 4x4. My car bottomed out a short distance up one of them when I explored the area last year, so I quickly backed out and left. Because the area is remote and swampy, I did not feel comfortable walking around by myself even in the winter.
One of the two roads to Arringdale paralleled the NF&D tracks and has became overgrown and lost. The other is on private property and normally chained. It has been in use as an access road for farmers.
When Norfolk Southern had a derailment and diesel fuel spill on the line several years ago, it had to improve this remaining road to be able to get its recovery equipment to the derailment-spill site near Arringdale. The activity didn't exactly endear NS to the owner who keeps the road chained. According to witnesses, two locomotives had derailed with several cars and ended up in the woods. The railbed had been undermined by heavy rains and flooding in the vicinity just a few days before, but because the storm was localized, NS had no knowledge of it. (NS has had at least one other derailment on the old NF&D recently, near Capron a few miles to the east.) As this suggests, NS's use of the old NF&D is often sporadic, and it seems possible that most of this track will eventually be abandoned much as was the old Virginian line in eastern Virginia.
I have lived in the area for several years and asked many locals about the story behind Arringdale when I first heard of the place. Hope this helps.

There are a quite a few ghost towns along the S&NY. Laquin PA, a former lumbering town in the early 20th century, is barren today.
Post by colorado » Mon Jun 04, 2007 10:32 am
Salamanca NY...Still some tracks there but littel activity, especially compared to all the yards and traffic in the Erie and B&O days.
Groveland NY....Nothing but a forest where there had been a yard and enginve facilites.
Hornell NY....Major Erie yards and Engine Facilities pretty much history, a few trains through there but nothing like what once was.
Manchester NY.....Significant LV yards gone, no trains, only a few shells of structures remained last I saw the place
OUT West....Coomo Colorado, yards and Engine facility of the old South park line, no trains in 70 years, roundhouse and depot hotel do remain.

Some places like the Northeast the states are all plotted out with towns. I can't speak for every state but for example Connecticut has 169 towns. No empty places for another.
-- but in past there were all kinds of 'place names' that no longer exist or there's nothing there anymore --
Check an old Railroad Timetable. All the stops still exist as anything?
Making a little legitimate some of these places had their own post office and put out mail postmarked from the place. So one might find an old letter postmarked Long Hill,Conn. but where is/was Long Hill ??
Post by TB Diamond » Mon Jun 04, 2007 8:12 pm
Manchester still sees a train on occasion as the ONCT utilizes the former Lehigh Valley MT Victor-Shortsville.
Last I heard, the roundhouse may well be demolished soon.
Return to "General Discussion: Fallen Flags"


types of surfaces because we are dedicated to securing every step you take.
Welcome to a world of safe behavior and solid surfaces.
All surfaces must be made to move safe and secure - at all times - without any risk of slips, trips or falls.
Real Safety has made this mission our mantra and subsequently we have built up wide experience and acknowledgement for our very visible anti slip solutions for both offshore, marine, industry, public and B2C.
There is no surface we cannot secure and our products stay anti slip regardless of the environment and weather. Even when our products are exposed to water, oil, grease, sludge, ice, defoliation, algae or whatever you might think of, we can still guarantee that they stay non slippery.
We are experts within anti slip safety. We can help you secure many different areas and surfaces with our anti slip products.
Please see below for a number of selected safety areas. See more areas here or call us for further information.
We are a company that since 2005 has provided both advice on safety and safety-optimizing solutions for platforms, rigs and ships in the North Sea. Today, however, we deliver safety solutions to far more customers than just ships and platforms in the North Sea.
Our aim is to provide solutions that prevent occupational accidents, and if you look at the latest figures from the Danish Energy Agency, you shall confidently say that we have an existential right. Tripping and falling accidents are by far the most frequent occupational accidents when looking at occupational accidents over the past six years. About 37% of all work-related accidents can be defined as tripping and falling accidents.
We offer a range of different solutions that can reduce the risk of trips and falls at work in one way or another. The majority of our customers are business customers, but we also sell some solutions to private individuals.
We know that many employers fear that accidents would happen.
This fear is due to several things. Partly, it is due to the fact that many employers feel a moral responsibility towards their employees. Partly, it is due to the fact that occupational accidents are costly and they can contribute to the poor reputation of one's business.
We will gladly help companies to optimize their workplace. We have many years of industry experience and extensive knowledge of our field. We offer versatile solutions, and there is no anti-slip solution available on the market, which we do not offer.
A number of the safety optimizations we offer include products like cable bridges, safety mats, fibreglass gratings and safety bumpers. You can read more about our many different products and solutions here.
There are big differences between how each company is optimized best, so there is a need for a versatile and diverse range of anti-slip solutions.
It is very important to us that we can offer each and every customer the right and perfectly fitted solution model.
Over the years, in close cooperation with North Sea operators, we have developed anti-skid products aimed at minimizing the number of slip and fall accidents in Danish workplaces.
Although our solutions have been developed in cooperation with North Sea operators, it does not mean that industry and public space can not benefit from them. Our products are highly versatile and can prevent occupational accidents at all kinds of different workplaces.
We are seeing an increase in architects and municipalities coming to us for safety-optimizing solutions for areas in public spaces. This makes us really happy and we are proud and honored to be allowed to contribute to making the public space safer to move around in.
As mentioned above, we have great expertise in our field and we will gladly share this expertise with potential customers.
We know that many people are uncertain as to how and and to what extent they should optimize their workplace. If you are one of those in doubt, call us and we will make you much smarter!
You are also very welcome to take a tour around our website where you can read more about the various anti-slip solutions we offer.
Go ahead and call us – we won't let you fall, as anti slip is our only business!


March is National Nutrition Month and what better time to remind you about the importance of good nutrition to protect your bone health.
Research continues to show that diet can be an important tool in preventing bone disease. Bone health is the result of bone mass, bone architecture, and body mechanics, all of which are supported by nutrition. In particular, calcium and vitamin D have been shown to be beneficial to bone health. Calcium is important for building and maintaining healthy bones. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. Many people do not get enough calcium from food. To increase your daily levels of calcium, eat a variety of calcium-rich foods. Good sources of calcium include dark, leafy greens, like spinach, kale, and collards; dairy foods, such as yogurt, milk, and cheese; and canned fish with soft bones, including salmon and sardines. You can increase your intake of vitamin D by eating foods fortified with vitamin D (orange juice, cereal, and milk). You also can get vitamin D by being in the sun for 15 minutes a few days a week. You can also discuss supplementation with your physician.
Maintaining a balanced diet of vegetables, fruits, lean protein, limited sugar, fatty fish, low salt, low caffeine, and whole grains is good for your overall health and also your bone health.
How often should I have a bone mineral density test?


Effects of annealing and film thickness on the electrical and optical properties of Sb:SnO2 films deposited by electron beam from bulk samples prepared using sintering technique have been investigated. A compromise between low resistivity and high transparency of the film has been studied using the factor of merit. This factor, which has been found maximum for film 100 nm thick annealed at 550 °C for 15 min, seemed to be enhanced with increasing annealing time and/or film thickness confirming the simultaneous improvements of transparency and conductance with the latters. Other optical and electrical parameters such as refractive index, width of energy gap, density of localized states, concentration and mobility of carriers and Seebeck coefficient have been studied also, discussed and correlated to the microstructure changes with annealing and film thickness.

Young voters of color: Please come out strong for Georgia Senate runoff
November 8, 20204min2020
By Wanda Taliaferro-Young
DeKalb County resident and Voter
This message is for all the young voters of color, particularly young black men. You have always believed your one vote did not matter. On November 3, 2020, you put that angst aside and showed up and showed out with your vote and look what you contributed to the 2020 Presidential Election. YOU made the difference!!
I was one of nine poll workers assigned to a small precinct located off a barely noticeable side street with two public bus stops, plenty of trees and obvious street sign challenges. To no surprise, there wasn't an overwhelming number of "day-of" voters at this small DeKalb County location. It was as if the well had run dry during the three weeks of early voting and only intermittent trickles were left for November 3, 2020.
As I had worked polls during previous elections, in comparison, it became shockingly noticeable the number of young black men who were exercising their right to vote. One after another proudly walked in with calm swagger, politeness and quietly cast their ballot.
Many stated they were a first time voter. Several voters had left work and asked for some form of documentation to prove they had actually used the time away to vote. Of course, the "I Voted" sticker was all that could be provided.
It was my job to thank each voter for coming and to hand them the sticker. One young man's expression regarding his vote spoke volumes. After I thanked him for coming, he said, "Our vote doesn't matter, it never does. The only reason I came is because my mother asked me to go vote." He did it for his mother and I'm sure she's proud of him and after the election results, he's proud of himself.
But his statement wasn't just about him and how he felt about voting in Georgia or the South in general. He was speaking for an entire generation of people of color.
To all those young men of color who voted, YOU made a difference. My generation, and the generations before and after mine are almost done. Your generation will need to pick up and carry the torch.
Every election is important. Your vote is needed more than ever on Jan. 5, 2021 during the Georgia Senate run-off for the "soul of America." The senate race has become as important as the presidential election. Without equal representation in the U. S. Senate, there will be no balance of power.
It won't be easy, but you must stand strong, be proud, keep your swagger and Southern politeness and yes, ALWAYS "vote."

Diary - another vaccine approved
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it was "excellent news" that a third coronavirus vaccine had been approved for use in the UK. It is made by US company Moderna and works in a similar way to the Pfizer one already being offered on the NHS. The UK has pre-ordered 17 million doses of the Moderna vaccine - 10 million more than planned - but supplies are not expected to arrive until spring. It is the last Covid vaccine with final trial data published. This is excellent news and comes as a further 1,325 people have died in the UK within 28 days of a positive Covid test - the biggest figure reported in a single day since the pandemic began. It means there have been just short of 80,000 deaths by that measure - as another 68,053 new cases were recorded. Public Health England said the number of deaths would "continue to rise until we stop the spread". The government launched a new campaign in England urging people to "act like you've got" the virus. The campaign, including an advert fronted by England's chief medical officer, Prof Chris Whitty, is intended to remind the public Covid is spreading fast, with large numbers showing no symptoms. The spread of Covid in London is "out of control" according to Sadiq Khan, who declared a "major incident". The coronavirus infection rate in London has exceeded 1,000/100,000 people, based on the latest figures from Public Health England. However, the Office for National Statistics recently estimated as many as one in 30 Londoners has coronavirus. A fair bit of constituency correspondence and matters to attend to. This third lockdown is going to hit many families very hard indeed. Finally, up north across the border, Alex Salmond has accused Nicola Sturgeon of misleading parliament, calling evidence she gave to an inquiry into the handling of sexual harassment claims against him "simply untrue". I don't think they like each other!
Diary - the future of extra benefits is debated
More good news. Government figures show that more than four million people in the UK have received their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine. People in their 70s and the clinically extremely vulnerable in England are now among those being offered the vaccine.

When designing your website and creating new content, you want to have as much original and fresh content as you possibly can. During website creation, you can make sure that you have different summaries and descriptions for each page. However, it takes more than just one paragraph to make your pages unique. This is where people get caught with their hands in the cookie jar even if they did not intend to.
Duplicate content refers to pages or content of your site that correspond to other pages or content on your site. This can also be defined as similar content or pages. You generally notice duplicate content with forums, e-commerce sites and printer-only versions of pages.
Duplicate content comes down to more than just one paragraph that explains a particular page. Duplicate content takes the whole page into consideration. This includes the header, footer, sidebar, pictures, CTAs, etc.
When creating the various pages of your site, you will want to keep this in mind. When it comes to e-commerce sites, these domains will be set up to have different pages for different products. Especially when you see various models of the same product, you will notice that these pages may be marked for duplicate content. If they have the same title, same description, and/or image, you will see this marked as duplicate content.
You can make the argument that people coming to your site will notice that these pages are separate. However, the search engines do not see your website the same way users see your website. The way Google analyzes your site for duplicate content is through different elements of your page. Google notices each element or piece of each page as a different piece of content. These are then taken into consideration when determining the presence of duplicate content.
When Google determines duplicate content, it can confuse the search engines as they are trying to determine what landing page should coincide with a particular keyword. This will ultimately affect your rankings and determine the relevancy of your website. These issues do not usually result in a penalty being passed down on a website, however, it does affect what page the search engine will use to rank your website for a particular keyword.
There are various ways that your webpages can show up as duplicate content. It is not always as simple as the text on your screen. Different elements of the webpage will determine if duplicate content is present.
The tags that you create for your webpages can be a sign of duplicate content. You will see these mostly in e-commerce websites where they will have pages with the same title. Even though the products on these pages are different, if you have the same name for the title, it can harm your SEO and confuse the search engines. As mentioned earlier, when you have two different models of the same product, duplicate content can show up. That is why it is important to make sure when developing your page titles that you are being specific and unique. You want to make sure that you clearly map out the difference between both pages but that you are not implementing a title that is too long and not as SEO friendly.
Another issue that different models of the same product can find is through the description. If you do not include a description that clearly defines the product and is unique from other products, you will be flagged with duplicate content. By specifying your products and making the line in the sand between your similar pages, you can successfully create these product pages without fear of being flagged with duplicate content.
Another issue with description would be not having enough information. If you have multiple pages that do not contain enough information in the description, this can also result in you becoming flagged. Although you may have an image on the page that clearly maps out the difference between another page, you can still be flagged because the search engines do not analyze the images. That is why it is crucial to create content that is unique from your other pages and descriptive enough to make the distinction.
In other cases, domains have duplicate content due to http/https issues. According to W3C standard, whenever you have two versions of a URL (one http and the other https), they are considered two separate documents. In order to avoid this issue, you will want to use a canonical tag, <link rel="canonical">, pointing to the only page chosen as the canonical (or indexed) version.
These are two separate pages that although they have different URLs, they both point to the same page. This can not only affect your ranking and landing page, but your linking as well. If you have both of these versions, it can cause issues when people try to link to you they are linking to two different pages. The best way to avoid this issue would be to set up a canonical tag or a 301 redirect that will allow you to redirect users to the correct page you would like your visitors to go to.
Other URL issues including session IDs and canonical tags can affect duplicate content. The session IDs that are added to the end of URLs are meant to track users' behaviors on your site. However, they can also result in you being flagged for duplicate content. It is important that you change these so that the sessions do not become attached to the URLs.
What about external duplication (Plagiarism, multisites,and so on) ? Will you provide a tool to monitore those issues ?
Hi Martin. In the SEO writing assistant tool that you use in Chrome, you can integrate with a Plagiarism checker ??
Does Semrush detect duplicated pages based on a concepts (open keywords) or keywords (exact keyword) approach?
the link to the blog araticle to fix the issue is a 404?!
Been a 404 for days and days, Chris. LOL pretty ironic I know, but certainly a bummer as well.
I can say nothing but LOL!


It's Official! The Langdon Ridge SSSI (Special Site of Scientific Interest) was confirmed by Natural England on 21st March 2019 after a period of consultation. More details on the consultation can found in Natural England's announcement and on the consultation page.
The 345 hectares of newly protected land includes Essex Wildlife Trust's Langdon Nature Reserve, Willow Park, Dunton Plotlands and Marks Hill Wood (owned by EWT but managed by Basildon Natural History Society) and Langdon Hills Country Park owned by Thurrock Council. These areas have been part of the Langdon Living Landscape project for a number of years but the SSSI designation will ensure stronger protection for this nationally significant array of grasslands, woodlands, rare plants and wildlife. Learn more about what SSSI status means here.
Great news! Congratulations to all those involved in making the case and those responsible for maintaining and protecting this area.
Brilliant news huge congratulations to all who have made this possible.


Nine will take a controlling 51.1% share in the new business with Fairfax taking the rest. The combined entity will take the name of Nine's parent company, Nine Entertainment Co, or NEC.
Under the terms of the proposed transaction, Fairfax shareholders will receive 0.3627 Nine shares for each Fairfax share held and $0.025 cash. It represents a 21.9% premium to Fairfax's closing share price of 77c on Wednesday.
It will also "review the scope and breadth" the newly merged business with job losses expected at Fairfax in backroom roles such as finance and human resources.
Although Marks said on Thursday that the main motivation was to get hold of Fairfax's TV streaming asset Stan and its property business Domain, Nine said there were no plans to close the newspapers.
On a call to investors and business analysts, Marks said news was an important part of both Nine and Fairfax and the two newsrooms would now have multiple platforms to distribute their content on.
Fairfax's chief executive, Greg Hywood, who will remain for about six months but will then depart the business entirely, said on the same briefing that Nine has a "great history of journalism" and he believed the television company was "a great home for the mastheads".
Marks gave a media conference in Sydney on Thursday morning to talk about the deal which came after Nine approached Fairfax at the beginning of July.
When trading in Fairfax shares restarted on Thursday morning they jumped 13%. Shares in NEC were down 6.5%.
In the joint statement to the ASX, it was also revealed that once the process was finished Nine will "review the scope and breadth of the combined business, to align with its strategic objectives and its digital future".
Pending approval from regulators and Fairfax shareholders, the takeover was expected to be completed before the end of the year.
Hugh Marks told staff on Thursday the deal marked a "truly momentous development" for Nine.
"The ground-breaking merger – harnessing the strength, assets, quality and reach of two of the country's most famous industry brands – is another highly significant step in the evolution of Nine's business into one of the most powerful media organisations in the country. The scope of this deal is genuinely quite breathtaking.

This paper refers to a detailed study conducted in March 2017 by SUMICO Technologies to evaluate the mechanical performance and condition of critical reciprocating engines, compressors and associated pipelines using state-of-the-art technologies at a natural gas booster station in Mari Gas Field (Sindh, Pakistan).
Results of the study revealed various hidden areas requiring attention to increase efficiency, reduce operational costs and increase reliability of the plant. This paper describes the technologies used, performance parameters analyzed,some interesting findings and the benefits gained through the study.
2. Study overview SUMICO's engineers collected data from each of the seven compressor sets and adjacent pipelines while they were operational using Windrock™PA6320and EmersonCSI2140 analyzers. The data types collected included dynamic pressures, vibration, ultrasound, spark voltage and temperatures, each measured simultaneously with the dynamic crankshaft position data. The technologies provided by SUMICO, allowed recording faster than 50,000 data points per second from each sensor point. In that way, every performance parameter's dynamic behaviour could be thoroughly studied with reference to the compressor's dynamic crankshaft position. 3D computer models were also designed by SUMICO's engineers for all compressor sets and the measured vibration data was input to analyse ODS (Operational Deflection Shape) of the discharge pipelines which had been subject to high vibrations. ODS (Operational Deflection Shape) computer model SUMICO's engineers then analysed the recorded data using specialized computer software through various types of charts; PV (Pressure-Volume) curves, ultrasonic waveforms, spark traces, vibration FFT spectra and vibration waveforms, to name a few. Analysis examples 1. Identified piston ring leakage Image 1A shows ultrasound data measured initially from the four cylinders of engine no. 1. The pattern revealed that in cylinder no. 2 (red) there were momentary high levels of ultrasound (highlighted by black circle), occurring every time the crankshaft had rotated 45° after passing cylinder's TDC (Top Dead Centre) which are symptoms of gas leakage through piston rings. Furthermore, the P-V (Pressure vs. Volume) curve (image2A)ofcylinder no.2 showed ahighrate ofpressure drop after achieving the peak firing pressure. After analysis of the data, SUMICO's engineers recommended to inspect the piston rings. Image 1A – Ultrasonic patterns of engine cylinders (initial) When the engine cylinder was later opened by plant maintenance team, piston rings of cylinder no. 2 were found to be broken (image 1B). Image 1B – Broken piston ring from engine #1,cylinder #2 After the piston rings were repaired, data retaken showed significant improvements (image 1C). Image 1C– Ultrasonic patterns of engine cylinders (after repair) Leaving such an abnormality undetected could have continued to waste fuel through the leakage. Moreover, the fault could have further worsened over time and if any debris from broken ring interacted with internal moving parts, it could have ultimately caused catastrophic failure of the engine and unscheduled downtime which would be very costly.

Remove lid and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has thickened and turned creamy, about 20 minutes. If the pot starts to look dry before the stew turns creamy, add a cup of water and continue simmering. Repeat as necessary until desired level of creaminess is achieved. Discard bay leaves and thyme stems. Season to taste with hot sauce, a few teaspoons of cider vinegar (if using), and more salt and pepper.


You can complement MONITOR with different options and functions. These are sold separately. All available options are found below.
Do you have full control over interruptions in your production? Is your production as efficient as possible? Are your post-calculations reliable? MI helps you to improve your production even more within the areas mentioned above. MI integrates your machines with MONITOR. This way the worked hours, quantity, and downtime will be reported automatically. You will also have a good overview of the present situation as well as follow-ups of OEE.
There are many benefits using the Product configurator in MONITOR and it is of great use in marketing, production, and aftermarket. You can compose different variants and create different models of a product, and then calculate prices and create manufacturing orders. You can also link it to a web solution to offer your customers and retailers opportunity to configure and order products themselves on the website depending on their requirements and wishes.
The Tool register applies to everything from large machine tools to small hand tools, measuring tools, consumable tools, and different special tools. Here you find functions for the tool register/tool groups, tool depot for withdrawing and returning tools, rejection of tools, calibration, etc. You can also manage tool structures, link tools to BOM and routing, and reserve tools for manufacturing orders.
This option handles automatic runs of routine tasks. The Agent option can also be used to monitor different events.
This option is useful when a legal company is divided into several separate units. A company can be divided into different distributed warehouses, or complete operational units with their own production and complete order flow.
PDA is an option that makes it possible to run certain procedures in MONITOR from a handheld device using Windows Mobile. Examples of supported procedures: Part info, Physical inventory, Move stock balance, Unplanned stock movement, etc.
By using this option, you can easily set up a webshop and quickly start doing business. The layout is automatically adjusted to the visitor's screen size and resolution thanks to the responsive web design. This way, the information will always be presented in the best possible way regardless of whether the visitor uses a smartphone, tablet computer, or PC.
By using the Extended file viewer, you can link different external documents (for example drawings, agreements) to customers, suppliers, parts, and orders. These documents can later be viewed directly on the record to which they are linked. A linked drawing can for example be printed together with manufacturing orders.
This option makes it possible for you to access information about customers, quotes, orders, parts, and serial numbers. Here you can also report service orders and authorize supplier invoices. You can also see important key figures for your company. Mobile is available for iOS 5 or later and Android 2.2 or later.
EIM provides system support for managing the company's supplier invoices electronically. The entire flow from scanning, registration, electronic authorization round, final recording, and retrieving is rationalized by using this option.
This option enables you to electronically transfer business documents between different business partners. For example, between your ERP system and the customer's ERP system. All information exchange takes place more or less automatically.
If you want to start using an EDI solution, you should ask yourself: "What types of business documents will we be sending and receiving, and how will they be transferred?"
Service Management has been developed for companies that perform service on their own products. It is used to plan, save and report service engagements. You can manage installation tasks and warranty commitments as well as urgent and planned machine service. The Service Management handles service engagements performed at the customer's location or at your own facilities, and service performed by your own staff as well as partners. There is also a mobile application for service technicians in the field.
This option is a more powerful version of the Electronic invoice management (EIM). Since Extended EIM can be managed via a web browser from any computer it possible for you to work with your invoices regardless of time and place.
By using Management accounting, the stock and WIP transactions will be integrated with your accounting (update of stock and WIP account in the accounting). It contains a "controller function" which provides increased control/reconciliation of pre-calculations, such as how well they match with reality (costs in the Income Statement).
This option is used when a sales company receives a customer order and a production company handles the actual manufacturing/production. Customer orders that have been registered in the sales company are automatically transferred and a corresponding order is created in the production company. When a delivery is made in the production company, the corresponding delivery is automatically made in the sales company.
This option provides system support for managing the company's fixed assets. Here you calculate depreciations and print different stock count lists as well as labels to mark your equipment and fixed assets with.
The Exchange rate updater (ERU) is a program that loads exchange rates from a central bank and then imports these rates into MONITOR. Only rates registered in MONITOR are updated.
This option is a complement to EIM and is used to export the electronic archive of supplier invoices to an external setting outside MONITOR. EIM filing can be used to release space on the server or to send the archive via external storage devices to an accountant.

This 7-minute YouTube video was made by the NPF facility of FAO. It was originally uploaded on Mar 3, 2011. This video, called Part 2 is actually the continuation of Part 1. The description says: Forest and tree play a vital role in the lives of all the people of Pacific Island countries and territories. Ever since people settles in this region, these resources have provided a multitude of goods and environmental services that have contributed to human well-being and development. Examples are food, medicine, housing and building material, shelter, soil and water protection - all of which are renewable provided that forests and trees are managed sustainability. Besides timber products a variety of forest products with good income potential can contribute to rural development and local livelihoods. It is challenging to achieve sustainable forest management while simultaneously meeting people's needs and maintaining forts service that we usually take for granted. Deforestation and forest degradation continue in many places. Their negative impacts are taken toll on people and the environment. Incentives for improved forest management and exemplary initiatives are needed to change the way we treat these life supporting systems. This video is intended to increase people understanding about the importance of land, forests and trees in the Pacific and to promote the sustainable use of these valuable resources.

18 Famous Dreamers That Changed History
Dreams remain a complex, mysterious phenomenon. Some people believe they are merely electrochemical processes. Others believe dreams allow the subconscious to reflect on waking activities and anxieties, or that they have prophetic or spiritual purposes. Many famous people throughout history claim to have gained inspiration, answers, and warnings from their dreams. What do you dream about from your sleep? Whatever your thoughts on the process, have a look at some of the most notable dreamers.
Science & Inventions
Otto Loewi's Nobel Prize-winning Dream
German physiologist Otto Loewi dreamt an experimental design to confirm his hypothesis of chemical transmission of impulses between nerves. The first time he had this dream, he wrote notes down only to find them unreadable in the morning. The next day, luckily, the dream returned. This time he immediately awoke and experimented on a frog using the design, and over the next 10 years developed the theory for chemical transmission of nerve impulses. His work would earn him a Nobel Prize.
Elias Howe's Needle Issue
After working on concepts to improve early sewing machines, Elias Howe remained perplexed as to the mechanics of the needle and thread. That is, until he had a dream in which Native Americans took him hostage. In this dream, they held spears with holes in the tips, which upon waking, inspired him to change the sewing machine needle thus making the machine operational.
More notable Invention dreams:
Rene Descartes developed the philosophy of the Scientific Method after interpreting one night's succession of dreams to mean that he was destined to be the person who would reform and unify the sciences.
German chemist Friedrich August Kekulé von Stradonitz made two important discoveries in dreams – the origins of Structural Theory and unique circular structure of the Benzene molecule.
Genius Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan claimed that a goddess would present him math equations in his dreams, providing him insight and discovery. Swiss-born U.S. geologist and zoologist Louis Agassiz dreamt about a fossil he was attempting to identify. In his dream, he saw the fish in living condition and was able to complete classification.
The inspiration for Google came to Larry Page in dream, in which he thought to download the whole web, which would later evolve into a ranked search engine concept. Now Google is perhaps one of the best inventions in modern history, you even probably landed on this page after googling for electric adjustable beds for dreamers, well that just a random guess.
Gen. George McClellan's Vision
Union General McClellan told of dream in which George Washington appeared to him, after he has been studying campaign maps all day. In this dream , he foresaw all of the Confederate positions and that they would be advancing on the nation's capital. He claimed that this knowledge allowed him to anticipate General Lee's maneuvers and stop the invasion.
Abraham Lincoln's Ignored Premonition
Abraham Lincoln's friend and bodyguard Lamon recounted that the president experienced a foreboding dream two weeks before his death. In this dream, Lincoln dreamt he viewed his own funeral in the White House. In his dream, many people grieved and a guard told him that the president had been assassinated. While validity of this second-hand story has often been questioned, it is not unlikely that Lincoln might have had such a dream during the apex of the Civil War. Lincoln also experienced a recurring dream throughout the war that he believed told of the Union's success.
More notable Political dreams:
While asleep in the trenches during World War I, a young Adolf Hitler dreamed he was about to be covered with earth and metal. Upon waking he immediately left the trench, and shortly after it was hit by shell killing those in it (thus sparing him, unfortunately for history).
In 1876, shortly before the Battle of Little Bighorn, Chief Sitting Bull dreamed of U.S. calvary clashing with the clouds and falling from the sky. He interpreted this to mean that an attack would come from the east, and that the Sioux would win leading him to prepare for battle.
Music, Movies & Literature
Mary Shelley's Vision
One of best-known tales of dreams influencing literature is that of Mary Shelley. Shelley was visiting Lord Byron in Lake Geneva with her fiance and friends. Inspired by the atmosphere, Bryon challenged everyone to compose a spooky story. After several days spent thinking of an interesting ghost story, Shelley says one night, in a state between sleep and awake, she saw a doctor raise life from a dead man. Her dream would eventually develop into the classic novel, Frankenstein.
More notable Music & Literature dreams:
The tune for the Beatles song "Yesterday" came to Paul McCartney in a dream in 1965. Writer Robert Louis Stevenson often cited his vivid dreams as inspiration, and conceived several scenes for his novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde during dreams. Horror author Stephen King credits his dreams as inspiration for many of his novels including Misery and It.
Director James Cameron took inspiration from dreams of flying for scenes in "Avatar", and cites a "fever dream" for the creation of "Terminator." Director Chris Nolan used his own lucid dreaming experiences to create the film now eponymous with dream states, Inception.
Author Stephanie Meyer states that the inspiration for the Twilight series came to her in dream, in which a human girl and a vampire discussed their relationship in a meadow.
Dreaming is one of the most interesting processes of the brain, the creation of alternate worlds and planes where our minds explore the mundane and the impossible. Undoubtedly dreams have impacted much of life throughout history, from science to books and much more that they will never know. Where will your dreams take you tonight?

Tents take LPGA tournament to another level
August 1st, 2007 / By: IFAI / Project Briefs
By Jake Kulju
George Smith of Mahaffey Fabric Structures in Memphis, Tenn., spends one week each year in upstate New York. But he isn't there for his health. His company provides tents and fabric structures for a stop on the LPGA tour each year at Locust Hill Country Club in Rochester. In business since 1924, Mahaffey Fabric Structures was a natural choice for the event coordinators, who were eager to take the LPGA tournament to another level after a management change. A crucial part of this new direction was to build a relationship with a reliable tent company.
Setting up tents for a professional golf tournament has the potential to pose serious challenges, as companies work around difficult schedules. Golf course officials have strict requirements about setup times and locations, Smith says, to create the least amount of interference with the course's regular schedule.
This year, setup for the tournament took Smith's crew about three weeks, with as many as 30 people working at once. "We go in with 15—up to 30—crew members, then scale it way back," he says. "They don't let us just have at it. They give us specific times that we can be in certain areas."
The planning of the tournament at Locust Hill required Mahaffey to create tented areas around the club's corporate complex, which is located in the middle of the golf course. Smith and his crew faced the unique challenge of having limited access to the setup area, and the area's location in the middle of the course meant that only smaller vehicles were able to drive to the site. "All the access has to be with smaller vehicles and it can be tough to get some of our larger equipment in there," he says. "Tractor trailers need to be unloaded at a different location, then the tents need to be shuffled to the center of the course."
Mahaffey provides the tents, flooring, liners and chandeliers for each yearly event, but works with several other companies for additional elements. The clearspans and insulated hard walls and glass walls come from London, and Special Event Services of Memphis provides temperature control. According to Smith, Special Event Services has been working the tournament for several years and provided the lead for the job to Mahaffey.
When event coordinators were faced with a decision, they went with a company that had years of practice to back it up. "They picked us because they were comfortable with our experience," Smith says. "We have stood the test of time, and they knew we would be there for them in five or 10 years and keep growing with them."

The purpose of the mixed-media storage model is to account for changing quantities of solids and water in a storage facility over time. This model estimates the volumetric inflow of solids based on density and solid/water proportion of the material inflow. This inflow might be a slurry that has a high concentration of solids or just natural inflows with high sediment content. Either way, the basic concepts are the same. This model simulates the reduction in water capacity as the solids accumulate and account for entrained water in the solids so that it adequately accounts for the pooled water. Finally, this model accounts for storage and overflows using a geometric relationship of elevation-area-volume of the storage facility.
Solids immediately settle in flat, even layers across the bottom of the pond.
Solids are not being compacted over time.
The model runs for elapsed time (not calendar) for 20 days with 1-day basic time steps. This model uses metric units of m3 for volume, kg (or metric tons) for mass, and m3/d for flows.
The spillway elevation is 1.0 m. This is the elevation at which point water will begin to overflow.
Note unscheduled events that occur at the bounds. Decide whether to allow unscheduled events or not. For this exercise, I will not allow them. You can do this as well by opening the Simulation Properties dialog, then click on "Advanced" Options.
With the volumetric inflows of solids and water known, we can build the rest of the model.
The model uses 2 Pool elements that keep track of the water separately from the solids on a volumetric basis. The total solid + water volume is also calculated so that the water level can be tracked through time using the elevation-area-volume relationship of the storage facility. The upper bound of the water pool starts at an initial value then we subtract from this amount the solids volume that is accumulating in the other pool.This upper bound controls the overflow from the water pool. Note that GoldSim must predict the next upper bound value if it is changing. Sometimes, overshooting of overflow can occur when the upper bound suddenly stops changing as is made evident in the model when looking at the pool volume compared to the upper bound after day 15.
Note that the initial upper bound of 400 m3 controls the total volume but not the water volume. The water volume is controlled by the reduced upper bound, which is closer to 350 m3 near the end of the simulation.
Entrained water can be an important component of the model if significant amounts of voids are keeping the water held up in the settled solids. This is because this water cannot be used and should be considered "lost" water. In this model, entrained water is lumped with the solids pool and is calculated as a function of an assumed void ratio (e) in the solids that settle out. Water must be removed from the water pool and added to the solids poll to include entrained water.
I use an elevation-area-volume table to estimate the water surface elevation as it changes through time. The important thing to remember when doing this is that you need to reference the total volume (solids + water) to calculate the water surface elevation since the solids are sitting below the water surface.
If you are interested in playing with this model, you can download it from here. Please let me know know if you have any questions or comments. I hope you find this useful for your mine water modeling projects and/or water resources work.

Robbie Keane 'come and get me' plea to Toon
ROBBIE KEANE is hoping that Newcastle United come calling in the January transfer window to end his Tottenham Hotspur nightmare.
Sources close to Keane indicate that the Republic of Ireland star knows his number is up at White Hart Lane after just six Premier League appearances and that he would relish the opportunity to come to St James' Park and form a potentially explosive partnership with top scorer Andy Carroll.
Ironically, Keane was reportedly offered to United as bait earlier this month as they looked to prise away Carroll awau from Tyneside, but both the Geordie and his boss Alan Pardew – who says Spurs are "wasting their time" trying for the Gateshead lad – have made it clear there is no chance of him leaving Toon.
The Chronicle revealed on August 27 that 30-year-old Keane was a target of former boss Chris Hughton, but United did not strike a deal with Spurs.
However, Keane is hoping that interest will be followed up again next week when the transfer window reopens, even if his £6m price tag may put off several of the clubs targeting the Eire ace.
Aston Villa, his former club Wolves and West Ham are all interested in Keane, but the 104-cap Ireland international is waiting to see what unfolds in the next four weeks.
A source at White Hart Lane told the Chronicle: "Robbie knows that January is almost certainly likely to result in him leaving Spurs.
"He was intrigued by the interest when he was linked with Newcastle last summer and is eagerly waiting to see what happens.
"Robbie knows Newcastle is a super club and the thought of playing at a packed St James' Park in front of 52,000 is appealing to him."
Keane has still managed to find the net three times this season, with two strikes for Ireland in the European Championship qualifiers and a goal against Arsenal in the Carling Cup for Spurs.
Meanwhile, as the Chronicle reported last week, a permanent move for Hatem Ben Arfa is understood to be edging closer for United.
Pardew made it clear he wanted to keep the French international talisman despite the horrific double leg break he suffered at Manchester City in October.

San Jose redistricting angers downtown residents
Houses line the Naglee Park neighborhood. Photo by Lloyd Alaban.
The redrawing of city lines has some residents in an affluent downtown neighborhood fired up.
And the county's redistricting process — happening simultaneously — is raising questions in a highly-contested supervisorial race.
Latino leaders urge San Jose residents to take part in redistricting
San Jose lawmakers approve plan to begin city's redistricting process
San Jose City Council: Battle lines being drawn on redistricting
Armaline, Gonzalez-Duncan, Alvarez, Kohli: Why redistricting matters
In the city's process, a redistricting map being floated by the city's consulting group would move residents from the historic Naglee Park neighborhood — part of downtown's District 3 — into District 5 which includes mostly East San Jose.
And residents in this neighborhood known for its historic mansions and sprawling single-family homes aren't having it.
"In the 15 years I've lived here, my community of interest has been going west," said Naglee Park resident Marni Kamzan during a redistricting meeting Thursday. "Dissecting District 3 and removing Naglee Park from all the communities we've worked together for decades makes no sense whatsoever when you're discussing communities of interest."
Some commissioners, such as Dee Barragan of District 3 and David Ditleveson of District 6, also voiced concerns about splitting historic neighborhoods like Japantown and Naglee Park. They had hoped to keep the "minority-majority" areas of the city, such as Districts 4, 5 and 7, intact for Asian and Latino residents.
"Are we going to be adding to the economy or taking away from the economy? Those are really big considerations to think about when we do this," Barragan said. "When it comes to the downtown core, there are so many neighborhoods and they're really the older neighborhoods of the downtown core. We want to make sure we're not dividing these older neighborhoods."
Residents on Thursday worried that splitting neighborhoods such as Naglee Park, Japantown and Willow Glen, will dilute the area's voice concerning issues such as homelessness, parking, property taxes and city resources.

The meeting Thursday included a look at six citywide maps drawn up by Sacramento-based firm Redistricting Partners. The maps are based on research, input from the commission and the public. No vote was taken by the commission.
Redistricting Partners has worked with various cities across the Bay Area to draw district maps.
The city's redistricting committee, which is comprised of 11 members, will meet again Thursday. The committee meets weekly and is tasked with reviewing the maps before recommending one to the City Council in December.
The Unity Map
A competing city and county map, the so-called "Unity Map," was drawn by a labor-led coalition of Working Partnerships USA, the Asian Law Alliance, the San Jose/Silicon Valley NAACP, the Latino Leadership Alliance and the La Raza Roundtable.
This coalition is the only special interest group to draw up its own maps.

"We think this (map) does an important job of bringing together some of our leading civil rights groups to look at how we can ensure the voices of our Latino, Asian American, Black, low-income and renter voices that typically have not been as well-served in the city have an equal say going forward," said Jeffrey Buchanan, director of policy at Working Partnerships USA.
The Unity Map claims to better represent underserved low-income neighborhoods and communities of color while keeping historic neighborhoods together. But some claimed it was drawn by "special interests" and nonprofits with deep pockets and an agenda.
"Sounds like we have a lot of outside influence in this city, and that really bothers me," said resident Brenda Dohman. "It looks like you're trying to fix elections or redistrict for some sort of political gain instead of for the best interest of the residents."

Though the Unity Map is just a proposal, the county one could cut out certain business-backed candidates running for elected office.
A Unity Map drawn for the county's simultaneous redistricting process could exclude two supervisorial candidates: Former San Jose Councilmember Johnny Khamis and Los Gatos Vice Mayor Rob Rennie. Both are fiscal conservatives backed by the area's business interests.
"The way they've drawn it, it's clear that they don't want me and Rob to be in the race," Khamis told San José Spotlight. "This isn't the final map of course. I won't get my temperature up until I see a more realistic map the county is going to vote on. I want to see a less politically-motivated map."
Rennie also isn't sure if the map will actually move forward, but he wants to see a fairer and more equitable layout.
"It's less about what leaves me in the district or not," he said. "Are we drawing districts for a political reason? Is this more about districting out somebody who is running? I've got to question whether or not this is the best solution for the county."
Redistricting, or the redrawing of district lines, occurs at the local, state and national level each decade after the release of census data. But historically, a lack of transparency and backroom conversations have posed a threat to district representation in cities throughout the state.
The 11-member San Jose Redistricting Commission is responsible for redrawing the city's 10 council districts, each with roughly 100,000 residents. The county's 15-member redistricting commission is responsible for redrawing the county's five supervisorial districts.
The city's commission must select a final redistricting map by Dec. 15. The map will go to the City Council for approval on Jan. 11.

"In any redistricting, the Council shall make the Districts as nearly equal in population as may be practicable, and may, in establishing the boundaries of the Districts, give consideration to (a) natural boundaries, street lines and/or City boundaries; (b) geography; (c) cohesiveness, contiguity, integrity and compactness of territory; and (d) community of interests within each District."
While potentially noble ideas, I do not see building "a consensus for fair, equitable lines across racial, ethnic and social divides" as part of the City Charter. I have also never heard the term "Unity Map". Dividing people up by race is not a sound plan and seems antithetical to that actual goal.
I also share previously stated concerns about the selection and objectives of the hired commission manager: Daniel Lopez- "A staff line-drawer and project manager for Redistricting Partners, Lopez has experience in redistricting going back to 2011. In that redistricting cycle, Lopez was tracking the Los Angeles City and L.A. County redistricting processes, conducting analysis and drawing out different mapping scenarios with the goal of increasing the voting power of minority communities".
These seem like forms of gerrymandering.
As a lifelong proponent of equal rights, the goal should be to not even have to take that into consideration. The current redistricting seems discombobulated and is evolving into quite a puzzle (including the three map options at this late date). I cannot imagine excessive growth in one district that would warrant such drastic changes to the redistricting maps. I would like to propose a "Fairness Map" where the existing boundaries will be utilized with minimal changes (and keeping existing neighborhoods whole and in their current district as much as possible) to account for the Charter instructed population changes, etc.
We should stick to the actual commission guidelines. Let us all continue the fight for equality without race-baiting. San Jose should take a bold approach and start practicing true equity.

That is EXACTLY the ultimate goal of redistributing, but no one is going to admit to it.

Yeah, this sounds like a completely unbiased coalition. 😂. Why are BLM and ANTIFA left out of the "Unity Map" coalition? Oh, how about the US Communist party and the CCP?
Local Yokel Reprise Oct 16, 2021 at 5:17PM
Why isn't one major boundary the Guadalupe River or Highway 87?
That's the standard east-west boundary and one representative "divide."
There or somewhat farther west (beyond "Downtown West"), that is the question.
My_Opinion Nov 30, 2021 at 1:24AM
Local Yokel Reprise, the "natural" boundaries between the eastern and western areas begins with highway 101. Going west, the next boundary is Monterey Road. The next boundary going west is Almaden Expressway, etc.
Some might say, just straighten and connect the 6-7 boundary pair that exists now. That would put an end to the Naglee Park salient, and using a naturally existing effective boundary.

Another hot mess brought to you by the City of San Jose. The Naglee Park group does have a point that they have been actively engaged with surrounding neighborhoods (South University, Roosevelt Park and the larger FWBT area) for decades – it's not like they have just isolated themselves, which is how Spotlight and others will try to frame this (another form of NIMBY-ism – notice how they use the word "angry" as opposed to "confused" in the headline. I mean, does Spotlight really know people are "angry"? Legitimate confusion should not be labeled as "anger." Journalism 101 is to report the facts, and not assume how someone is feeling).
It's confusing for the City, going back to Strong Neighborhoods Initiative (literally decades), to mobilize these neighborhood groups to coordinate – then come in through what looks like a haphazard process, and deconstruct that coordination – and once again segment those neighborhoods.
I also agree that this "unity map" sounds like a way to inject race into the whole process, and that just never works out good – especially if that is the only basis for a conclusion. It's a half-baked idea by those who brought you defund the police, and it is another mess waiting to happen. Naglee Park and other areas do not exist just to prop other areas up…those areas need to follow the community organizing map of Naglee Park and the downtown neighborhoods, and ask "what can we do in our own neighborhoods? And, how do we better engage City Council reps and navigate that system?" Things like a "unity map" sound good in meetings – but in such an already diverse City (62% of Naglee Park residents are non-white) – it is just going to be some buzz phrase that distracts from the real issues in San Jose, and completely misses the point. This isn't some high-school project, these are actual neighborhoods in a real city, that should follow a reasonable process, with leaders and consultants who are informed, not just on redistricting, but the history of San Jose.
https://www.city-data.com/neighborhood/Naglee-Park-San-Jose-CA.html
This is the most "progressive" council – so they should literally stop concentrating poverty into just a few districts, then blame other neighborhoods for those concentrations…or assume they will come in and immediately just advocate for every other area within the district. It's lazy, and does nothing to address the root cause of this City's poor leadership.

Totally agree. Spotlight has a left wing bias. This is clear not only from the manner in which they present stories but from which people they choose to interview and quote (over and over) and photograph.
" Spotlight and others will try to frame this (another form of NIMBY-ism"
Nimby-ism is a pejorative term meant to silence and shame opposing views around housing issues. Spotlight uses it all the time.
I refuse to be intimidated by a bunch of left wing name callers. I am a Mimby – maybe in my backyard. It depends on the particular project. That seems a common sense approach, but no – if anyone dares to offer an alternative viewpoint on a particular housing project they are attached as a Nimby – or better yet, a racist. I have heard city staff use the term repeatedly especially regarding housing and planning issues. I am honored to be called a Nimby when I consider the source.

When they dismantled the RDA, and took all the money, and failed to repay the county, killed cinequest, and than split….. I mean Gonzales, Chavez and the rest of the eASt side mob who got caught licking stamps and sent to jail, just a short few years ago… you got the "replacements" who have no idea what the SNI is, was and should be…. The strong neighborhoods inititative. Liccardo was elecrted on the back bone of that, as was "Chavez, and Peralez" Now the East side leadership says killing the flea market is "growth" The neo liberal babble, has wrecked the District. and now they want the wealth to get pushed over in the east side district they have mismanaged and ripped the constituents of for years in…. all on the backbone of one mans good name, Shirakawa.
Cindy chavez, for mayor….. that is a damn joke. a bad one. a reRun….that took Chuck Reed and his American Tie to stave off sixteen years ago….. how will we do it this time?

this prog-rag ALWAYS delivers, and you always reap what you sow
"notice how they use the word "angry" as opposed to "confused" in the headline." Those who live in Naglee Park are confused at all. Angry? It probably depends on to whom you speak. A more appropriate word would be CONCERNED.
But here's the thing. If you want to capture an audience of readers or even TV news, you have to use buzz words to get the attention of your audience of listeners or readers. The word "angry" is one of those words.

Many Industrial and automation companies, Software developers and integrators face a problem these days. The buildup an enormous x86 Codebase, in which one can find a lot of a company's hard learned know how. Many of these applications started out on i8088/i80186 class CPUs, and do now require more performance today than way back then. Since then x86 has come a long way and the available performance increased drastically. Many companies have to decide today which way they want to go into the future – use overpowered, therefore expensive, but compatible industrial x86 hardware with long term availability, switch to cheap consumer hardware with a 6-month life cycle and its associated risks or bite the bullet and port the codebase onto another platform like ARM or MIPS, with a lot of time and cost involved.
