DOWNTOWN BERM
Were any alternates considered to closing Riverside Drive?
The design team considered a number of flood mitigation measures, including a partial road closure (one-way traffic), and leaving the road fully open but constructing a full-height retaining wall. The preferred measure (2-block road closure of Riverside Drive) was deemed the best alternative in terms of cost, constructibility, leaving room for the river and limiting fisheries impacts.
Will the 2-block road closure of Riverside Drive to accommodate the Downtown Berm impact emergency services response times?
The Downtown Berm Design team and Drumheller Emergency Services have been working together over the past several months to better understand impacts from the Downtown Berm project and the potential impacts from the Riverside Drive Road closure.
The Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) found that emergency services travel times will not be negatively impacted.
Why can't we push the Downtown Berm out into the Red Deer River further and keep Riverside Drive Open?
The Flood Team has heard quite clearly from Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Alberta Environment and Parks that dike encroachment into the river will not be permitted if there is a viable alternate, like the option currently selected. Placing fill material in a river causes significant harm to the aquatic environment, and takes away from the room for the river to flow, so that option was discounted.
Why don't we just put Riverside Drive on top of the Downtown Berm?
To place the road on top of the dike would require that it be built to a much higher standard in terms of the fill, dike side slopes, roadway geometry, guardrails, etc. to meet roadway standards for vehicle loading, which would significantly increase the cost of the berm, so this option was discounted.
Why can't we just use adaptive fill for the Downtown Berm, like in Midland and Newcastle?
One of the Drumheller Resiliency and Flood Mitigation Program's goals is to build as much permanent flood mitigation infrastructure as possible in the next three years, while we have funding available, thereby minimizing future emergency response efforts and costs. Building the full section of the Downtown Berm along Riverside Drive will help to meet this goal. Unlike the adaptive fill reaches for Newcastle and Midland which would have cut off access to homes fronting on Riverside Ave and North River Drive, respectively if a full berm was built there; the section of roadway being closed to accommodate the construction of the Downtown Berm will not cut off access to any private properties.
What will the cost of the Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) be for the closure of Riverside Drive?
The cost of the Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) being done for the closure of Riverside Drive is estimated at $15,000 - $20,000. This cost would be the same for a one-way closure of Riverside Drive as well.
If you raise the existing road elevation to the equivalent height as the 1850 m3/s level and leave both lanes open, Should additional fill be later required to protect to the 3000 m3/s level?
Many options were considered early on for the dike along Riverside Drive; however, it was narrowed down to the 4 preferred options based on cost, environmental impacts, and regulatory acceptance. The option for designing the roadway on top of the dike is significantly more costly and was not evaluated further as a viable alternative. To give an actual cost for this option would run the Flood Office around $10,000 to investigate and then provide an answer. As this option has been deemed not viable, the Flood Office will not be undertaking this additional study. A few items that drive up the cost for this option are acquiring properties to accommodate the horizontal and vertical curvature design, additional safety requirements such as guardrails and other measures as traffic would now be adjacent to a steep and high drop off to the water. Furthermore, there could be significant additional costs for the highway specification road fill materials and construction.
Could the existing road be re-aligned to fit between the Berm and the houses by encroaching on 2 or 3 lots? We are accepting encroachment in other places, why not here?
Encroachment along 5th Street would require full acquisition of these properties, not just encroachment (as the houses are fairly close to the road), and ultimately that's more expensive. It would also likely require acquisition of 5 properties, rather than the 3 mentioned. The additional 2 properties that would need to be acquired are 475 3rd Ave and 349 5th Street. To acquire these 5 properties would cost between $750,000 and $1,000,000. Furthermore, it would also result in incurring the cost of fully reconstructing this section of Riverside Drive. Since this portion of Riverside Drive is 300m and the cost of reconstructing 1 km of roadway is approx. $1,500,000, that's another ~$450,000 in road construction cost.
If minor changes were made to the top of the existing Berm (where the pathway currently is) to create a wider platform, would a temporary dike using the water filled tubes be sufficient to place on the dike top?
Unfortunately, we have no funds available for temporary mitigation measures for the Downtown Berm or any of the flood mitigation projects. Additionally, the footprint area required for temporary flood tubes is nearly the same as for the full height permanent Berm (about 5.8m of space would be required for a 3m dike raise with temporary flood tubes, with room to move needed on either side. Additionally, flood tubes require indoor warehouse storage over the long term, and specialized training and equipment to deploy so can be costly to maintain, especially given that there is no Provincial or Federal funding for these.
What would the cost be to relocate the baseball diamond to make room for the roadway?
The area of the baseball diamond is not the area that's most space-constrained for the dike improvements construction, and thus moving the diamond doesn't address the pinch point. Moving the baseball diamond would still result in a section of Riverside Dr and 5th Street needing to be closed to allow sufficient space to construct the dike.
For each of the alternatives that were considered, please provide more detailed information and cost estimates on what was considered and why they were rejected.

Were there any previous studies done before the decision was made to Riverside Drive?
A preliminary traffic study was completed. A more comprehensive study is in process which will take into account traffic flow year round throughout the downtown area. Emergency response times will be reviewed in the traffic study
Before passing a bylaw related to closing a road, persons claiming to be prejudicially affected by the bylaw must be given an opportunity to be heard by council. Where is the Flood Mitigation Office at with complying to this?
We do need to have a bylaw for closing the road and that requires a public hearing and minister approval. We are not exempt from this process and will be proceeding with the bylaw this spring, prior to construction.
What is the assessed value of all parcels and buildings protected by the Downtown Berm?
The assessed value of all parcels and buildings protected by the Downtown Berm is $30.6M based on the Town of Drumheller's latest assessment numbers.

Georg Christian Gebauer (* 26. Oktober 1690 in Breslau; † 29. Januar 1773 in Göttingen) war ein deutscher Rechtswissenschaftler, Historiker und Hochschullehrer.

Leben
Nach dem Besuch des Elisabeth-Gymnasiums in Breslau, begann Gebauer 1710 in Leipzig die Studia humanitatis. 1712 wechselte er zunächst an die Universität Altdorf, bevor er sein rechtswissenschaftliches und geschichtswissenschaftliches Studium bei Nikolaus Hieronymus Gundling in Universität Halle fortsetzte. Auf Drängen des Bürgermeisters Gottfried Gräve kehrte Gebauer 1715 nach Leipzig zurück, um den Sohn des Bürgermeisters weiter zu unterrichten. 1717 folgte sein Magister in Leipzig, 1721 wurde er Beisitzer an der philosophischen Fakultät. An der Universität Erfurt wurde Gebauer 1723 zum Doctor iuris promoviert. Vier Jahre später, 1727 erhielt er in Leipzig die Stelle eines ordentlichen Professors des gemeinen und sächsischen Lehnrechts. 1730 nahm er eine Stellung als Beisitzer des dortigen Oberhofgerichts an.

Durch seine Veröffentlichungen und seine bei Gundling genossene Lehre wurde Gerlach Adolph von Münchhausen auf ihn wie auch auf Johann Jakob Schmauß aufmerksam. Münchhausen holt Gebauer 1734 an die neugegründete Universität Göttingen, wo er Professor juris primarius verbunden mit dem Titel eines Hofrates wurde. Zugleich sollte er im ersten Jahr der Universität zunächst die Geschäfte eines Prorektors ausführen. 1747 wurde er mit dem Titel eines geheimen Justizrats ausgestattet und 1755 erhielt er das Ordinariat im Spruchkollegium der juristischen Fakultät. Gebauer deckte eine hohe Bandbreite an Vorlesungen ab, so las er die Geschichte des Rechts, Recht der Natur nach Gundling, europäische Geschichte nach seinem Grundriß, Pandecten nach Ludovici, über den Text der Institutionen nach seinem Ordo institutionum und das Lehnrecht.

Gebauer nahm eine wichtige Position im intellektuellen Umfeld seiner Zeit ein. Mit seinem historischen Werk beschäftigte sich Lessing im 52 Brief, die neueste Literatur betreffend, mit dem Dichter und Literaturkritiker Johann Christoph Gottsched war er bekannt, er war Schüler von Christian Thomasius und er fungierte auch als Herausgeber der zweiten Auflage von Lohensteins Arminius-Roman, die im Jahr 1731 erschien und zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch viele Leser hatte.

On Monday, Women's March co-founder Tamika Mallory appeared on ABC's "The View," and was confronted by co-host Meghan McCain, who blasted her for lionizing racist and anti-Semitic Minister Louis Farrakhan.
Mallory was defending her support of Farrakhan when she stated, "And just because you go into a space with someone does not mean that you agree with everything that they say." In the past, Mallory referred to Farrakhan as the GOAT (greatest of all time).
Now a lot of people, and by a lot of people I include me in this, think you're using your organization as anti-Semitism masked in activism, and that you're using identity politics to shield yourself from critiques. You're talking about all women being invited to that march? I'm pro-life; we were not invited; we were not allowed at that march right there. I'm a conservative woman; I also represent — you're talking about women? You're talking about all women, including Jewish women as well and conservative women.
According to Tablet Magazine, the first time the leadership of the Women's March met, Mallory and Perez allegedly promulgated anti-Semitism. Sources who attended the meeting on November 12, 2016, said Perez and Mallory allegedly stated that Jews had a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people and allegedly added that Jews were leaders of the American slave trade.
These are canards popularized by The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews, a book published by Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam—"the bible of the new anti-Semitism," according to Henry Louis Gates, Jr., who noted in 1992: "Among significant sectors of the black community, this brief has become a credo of a new philosophy of black self-affirmation."

Double Bill Feature
Double Bill: Speed & Paterson
Post author By Neil Fox
First of all, credit for highlighting the potentiality of this double feature must go to my friend Rachael Jones, who mentioned it following a screening of Speed for my podcast The Cinematologists. As soon as she said "you should watch Paterson now" something clicked. It's a perfect double bill, not least because of the full-on exhilaration of the Jan de Bont directed, Keanu and Sandra starring action movie from 1994 being followed by the slow release exhilaration of Jim Jarmusch's poetic meditation on life from 2016 starring Adam Driver.
The reason it struck me as so perfect is that, for me personally, the films are so meaningful as symbols of my life and cinephilia. The central motif of the bus in both films is a way of understanding myself at the pinnacle moments in my life when I first saw these films in the cinema at the time of release. A lot changed for me in the 22 intervening years between Speed and Paterson. In ways, that amount of time changes things for everyone should they be fortunate enough to live that long, and it's undeniable how those two buses, commandeered by Keanu and driven by Driver, symbolise who I was and am.
16 years old and hurtling towards adulthood with a firm grip on who I thought I was, only to realise later that it was me just trying to keep it together to move forward at all, let alone with any purpose. I felt unstoppable, and greeted the oncoming threats of the world as gaps to be jumped, hard rights to be steered round at full speed on two wheels, bombs to be diffused with seconds to spare and me being flung to safety in the arms of a beloved to the strains of a swelling orchestral score. The propulsion of everything at 16 years old was part of the fabric of Speed and its special construction. Its dedication to the form of spectacle – aligned with the coolness of Keanu and the chemistry between him and the sublime Sandra Bullock – have meant it's aged gracefully, its unique composition in the field of action movies preserved in amber.
39 years old and braking towards my forties, I no longer want to hurtle, but rather navigate slow, regular circuits around the life I've built and experience the joy and contentment of the routine, of the sometimes new but more often than not familiar faces of my communities. I want to walk the dog, spend evenings writing and listening to my loved one's day. I want what Paterson has in Paterson. Thankfully, I have it, and can reflect upon that exhilaratingly paced period of my life with fondness and nostalgia and see myself there and relive through muscle memory the adrenaline of never knowing what was next. But give me tiny dramas and creation for the sake of it, ad infinitum. No more bombs, just love and poetry.

These worksheets provided well written reading passages that explore forensic science.
Forensic science was a science that originated from necessity. Officer of the law needed help identifying the suspects involved in crimes. Even though television tells us that fingerprints and ballistics are exact sciences and always tell you a story, many experts often don't agree on the same evidence. One of the most often used and reliable forms of data that many of us aren't aware of are bugs. Bugs take a very particular and common path to become active. This often leads investigators to the most reliable timelines available. This has even created its own form of science called forensic entomology.
This series of worksheets look at very relevant technologies and the science behind them that focus on solving crimes or understanding basic living better.
The Greek Archimedes (287 to 212 B.C.E.) was one of the earliest users of forensic science. He used the principles of water displacement to prove (by its density and buoyancy) that a crown claimed to be made of gold was not, in fact, gold.
QUESTIONS: What is Forensic Science?
Who began the dual medical/legal approach to identifying, convicting, and exonerating suspects that we still use today?
The techniques that were selected all play a substantial role in closing cases and obtaining convictions.
Which technology tool is used to recover writing on paper that is otherwise illegible?
When a structure, or a component of a structure, fails, especially when the failure causes personal injury, damage to property, or financial loss, forensic engineers are called in to reverse engineer what went wrong.
What was the cause of the Dee Bridge accident in Chester England?
There are three main areas within the field. Forensic Osteology is the study of the skeleton. Forensic Archeology is the controlled collection of human remains. Forensic Taphonomy studies how the body changes after death.
Forensic anthropologists generally work with forensic pathologists, homicide investigators, and odontologists (forensic dentists).
Arson investigators collect physical evidence from the scene of a fire. Such evidence could include accelerants (gasoline or other flammable materials), tampered utilities, and/or specific burn patterns.
Day-to-day duties of an arson investigator include responding to and investigating fire scenes, identifying, collecting, and interpreting evidence, conducting interviews, writing reports, and testifying in court.
The use of DNA also comes with significant challenges. DNA technology is expensive. DNA collected from a crime scene is not always recoverable by the laboratory.
Finally, DNA testing is far from foolproof, and there is more ambiguity in DNA evidence than people commonly think. DNA labs are not evaluating and comparing entire human genomes.
The Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) is a database that contains information about the DNA profiles of millions of convicted criminals, as well as DNA profiles recovered from crime scenes.
When a DNA profile is entered into CODIS, it is compared to all DNA profiles recovered from the crime scenes of open investigations.
Forensic accountants investigate financial fraud, such as embezzlement, tax evasion, and money laundering. Their work is largely the search for irregularities in financial records and documents.
Forensic psychologists perform psychological assessments on both defendants and witnesses, provide expert testimony in court on psychological issues, and provide counseling.
Metadata (data that provides information about other data) can include when a document was created, who the author is, etc.
Computer forensic investigators must not alter any data on the device in question which may later be relied upon in court.
Post-mortem forensic toxicology identifies whether or not drugs and the things that they metabolize into are present in the deceased and whether they may have played a role in the death.

5. Abstract:
Field-Theoretic Simulations: From Advanced Materials to Quantum Liquids
Field-theoretic representations of many-body problems in classical and quantum statistical mechanics have been known for more than 70 years, but have largely enabled approximate analytical calculations. Over the past decade, my group has shown that the complex-valued statistical field theory models of classical fluids can be directly tackled by numerical simulation. Such "field-theoretic simulations" (FTS) are advantaged over conventional particle-based computer simulations in a variety of situations, especially dense melts of high molecular weight polymers and systems with long-ranged interactions, such as polyelectrolytes. They are also well-suited for multi-scale simulations spanning nanometers to microns.
This talk will introduce the construction of field theory models of polymeric fluids and the FTS framework. Two application examples will be provided: the design of uniquely hard-tough-elastic thermoplastics, and the complexation behavior of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes. I will conclude by discussing a "coherent states" (CS) representation of interacting polymers that offers potential computational advantages. A structural similarity with bosonic quantum field theories suggests a powerful new FTS approach to probe superfluidity and other exotic collective phenomena in cold bosons.
Glenn Fredrickson received B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in chemical engineering from the University of Florida and Stanford University, respectively. He was a member of technical staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories from 1984 to 1990 and has been on the faculties of Chemical Engineering and Materials at the University of California, Santa Barbara since that time.

Such Anxious Hours: WI Women's Voices From the Civil War
by Jo Ann Daly Carr
Saturday, February 8 at 1 pm
Editor Jo Ann Daly Carr will discuss her research into the lives of WI Women during the Civil War. Letters from soldiers to their families often provide prominent narratives of the Civil War. But what about the messages from the women who maintained homes and farmsteads alone, all while providing significant emotional support to their loved ones at the front? The letters and diaries of these eight women echo the ever-growing horrors of the conflict and reveal the stories of the Wisconsin home front. Twenty-one-year-old Emily Quiner sought a way to join the war effort that would feed her heart and mind. Annie Cox wrote to her pro-slavery fiancé to staunchly defend her abolitionist principles. Sisters Susan Brown and Ann Waldo faced the unexpected devastation that each battle brought to families.
In Such Anxious Hours, Jo Ann Daly Carr places this material in historical context, detailing what was happening simultaneously in the nation, state, and local communities. Civil War history enthusiasts will appreciate these enlightening perspectives that demonstrate the variety of experiences in the Midwest during the bloody conflict.
Jo Ann Daly Carr is a librarian and director emerita of Media, Education Resources, and Information Technology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Education.

Causes, Symptoms, and Solution of Bad Transmission Seals
Transmission fluid is important for the optimum functioning of different components. However, the seals prevent fluid leakage and maintain an optimum flow pressure in the transmission pan.
What is the Purpose of Transmission Pan?
Causes of Leaked Transmission Seals
Symptoms of Damaged Transmission Seal
Solution of Bad Transmission Seals
Cost to Resolve Transmission Seal Problems
The following are the key takeaways from this article:
Transmission seals are placed between the housing and transmission pan to prevent transmission fluid leakage.
The seals can be damaged due to overheating, bad gaskets, and improper installation.
The common symptoms of bad transmission seals include low transmission fluid, burning fuel smell, and grinding sounds during a gear shift.
The solution to bad transmission seals includes applying liquid transmission sealers or replacing the transmission seals.
Liquid transmission sealers will only work in case of minor seal/gasket leaks.
The cost of transmission seal replacement is around $150, which can vary depending on the car's model, make, and variant.
Like the engine, the transmission also has a pan that contains the transmission fluid. The pan works optimally with the help of seals and a gasket in between the transmission housing and the pan.
The seals prevent transmission fluid leakage and maintain an optimum operating pressure according to the manufacturer's specifications.
This helps the fluid run across different transmission components and return to the pan. However, seals can go bad due to certain issues impacting transmission performance (1). This article analyzes the causes and symptoms of bad transmission seals and common solutions to resolve the issue.
Transmission pan is located below the vehicle and is responsible for the automatic vehicles' flow of transmission fluid. The transmission pan also has a magnet that collects the dirt and other contaminants before reflowing the fluid back to the transmission components.
Further, the pan is also designed to prevent the leakage of the transmission fluid. This is accomplished by transmission gasket and rubber seals that are present between the transmission housing and pan to prevent leakage (1). Both the seal and gasket are essential for optimum transmission performance. Seals also ensure that the pan maintains the manufacturer-specified pressure in the pan for fluid flow around different components.
In modern vehicles, the transmission pan also performs the function of a flow regulator that maintains an optimum pressure for fluid flow across the transmission.
Similarly, a cooling mechanism maintains an optimum transmission fluid temperature to maintain lubrication. An average transmission pan can contain around 12 quarts of fluid. It's worth noting that around half of the transmission fluid is inside the pan at a time. The other half of the transmission fluid is in the torque converter and other transmission components. That is why it is recommended to flush the transmission while replacing the transmission fluid, so the dirty fluid is replaced with new/fresh fluid.
The transmission system is an essential system in vehicles, and its main role is to move the vehicle through different gears and maintain the speed. Transmission seals are designed in the system to maintain the flow of the transmission fluid in the system.
The transmission seals are rubber and usually get damaged due to extreme temperature and pressure. The optimum temperature at which the transmission line works accurately is 150 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature in the transmission system rises above 220 degrees Fahrenheit, the transmission fluid gets very hot and causes damage to the transmission system (1). Due to excessive heat and pressure, the seal becomes hard and brittle and ultimately breaks down.
Defected Gaskets
Transmission seals behave as gaskets, and the main purpose of the gaskets is to seal the transmission pan with other components of the transmission system. These gasket gets cracked due to high temperature and dirt components.
As a result, transmission fluid starts leaking, and the overall performance of the transmission system becomes poor. Moreover, gaskets made up of low-quality material get cracked immediately and cause heavy damage (2). Besides, dirt particles are also a major cause of damaged transmission seals. The dirt and debris block the flow of the transmission fluid, and high pressure is exerted, resulting in ruptured seals.
Poor Installation
One of the major causes of the damaged transmission seals is the poor installation of the transmission system.
The poor installation of the transmission pan causes damage to the seals. This is because the transmission pan is not properly fixed, and due to loose nuts, the vibrations in the system increase, resulting in cracked transmission seals.
The leakage in the transmission system can cause multiple issues, such as misfires in cylinders and a rotten egg smell. Moreover, the durability of the transmission seals depends upon the material used during the manufacturing (2). The low-quality transmission seals do not have strength, flexibility, and durability; ultimately, they shrink down. Also, due to the friction of other components, the transmission seals made of low-quality material get ruptured.
Low Transmission Fluid
When the transmission seal gets ruptured, the overall performance of the transmission system in the vehicle gets poor. This happens because the damaged transmission seal causes the leakage of the transmission fluid.
The transmission fluid gets low in the system, so the transmission system fails to generate the required amount of hydraulic pressure. The transmission fluid has an important role in the transmission, and it lubricates all the metal parts and bearings, but the low amount of fluid impacts the lubrication process. As a result, the metal parts and bearings got damaged due to minimum transmission fluid. Also, due to the low fluid level in the system, it becomes difficult to adjust the gears automatically, and the vehicle may experience sudden accidents.
Burning Fuel Smell
Due to the damaged transmission seal, the transmission fluid will start leaking and enter the combustion chamber and different engine cylinders.
Due to the poor transmission seals, certain unusual smells are expected to be observed. Also, the transmission fluid may fall on various parts and gets burned along with the fuel—this burning of fluid with fuel results in the release of black-colored smoke from the exhaust system (5). Moreover, the fuel quality becomes poor, and the spark ignition is delayed. The delayed spark ignition will result in poor acceleration of the vehicle. Besides, the oil smell is observed around the vehicle because the leakage of the transmission fluid creates a puddle under the vehicle. This symptom indicates that the transmission seals are ruptured and require immediate replacement.
Harsh Noises
Another common symptom of damaged transmission seals is the harsh knocking sounds from the engine system. This happens because the transmission fluid level becomes low due to the seal leakage.
Due to the minimum pressure, the transmission fluid is not supplied to all the metal parts and the bearings (3). In a transmission system, there is constant friction between the metal parts; this fluid is responsible for maintaining the smooth friction process through constant lubrication. But, due to minimum lubrication, these metal parts and bearings rub with each, and a knocking sound is generated due to the wear and tear of the components. Thus, the harsh knocking sounds indicate the issue of the damaged transmission seal. Also, the engine check light on the dashboard is turned on to indicate the errors with the transmission system (5). This light is illuminated to avoid serious damage to the engine.
Following are a few solutions for bad transmission seals:
Transmission Sealers
Transmission sealers can be a great solution for leaking transmission seals. Different transmission sealers available in the market can be applied to the transmission seals to stop the leakage.
However, it is recommended that the drivers drive the car for around 100 miles to check the result of the sealer. Similarly, if you are losing the fluid quickly, then there is a chance that the transmission sealer will not work to stop the leakage (4). If the leakage does not stop after applying the sealer, it is recommended to change the transmission seals to avoid any major damage to the vehicle's transmission.
Change the Seals
The most common solution for leaked seals is to change the seals. When you are hearing grinding noises at gear shift and losing the transmission fluid rapidly, it is recommended to change the seals at the earliest.
In the case where the loss of transmission fluid is not that rapid, you can drive the car for a few hundred miles before changing the seals. In some cases, you might require to replace the gasket. Locating the transmission pan is not a major issue (3). It is generally located near the transmission section at the bottom of your vehicle. Or you can also see the vehicle's instruction manual to locate the gasket. Before replacing the seals, check for visual damage to the transmission gasket (4). If there are some eminent damages to the gasket, it is better to replace it to avoid further transmission issues.
The following table illustrates the cost required to resolve transmission seal problems:
Common Transmission Seal Problems
Cost to Resolve the Problems
Bad Transmission Seals $150 to replace bad transmission seals
Transmission Sealer $60-100 to get transmission sealer liquid
Bad Transmission Gasket $150-300 to replace the transmission gasket
Bad Transmission Pan $1000-1500 to replace the transmission pan
Labor Cost $100-300, depending upon the extent of the issue
To conclude, transmission seals play an important role in the optimum function of the transmission. These seals are between the transmission housing and transmission pan to prevent fluid leakage and maintain an optimum fluid flow pressure. However, the seals can go bad due to overheating, defective gaskets, and improper installation. If the leaks are not fast, it is recommended to apply transmission sealers. These sealers have sticking property that helps resolve minor transmission seal issues. However, replacing the seals is recommended to avoid complex transmission issues if the liquid leaks rapidly. It is also recommended to check for leaks at the transmission pan and gasket problems before replacing the seals.
When should I replace the transmission seals?
You are not supposed to replace transmission seals after a particular mileage. You can go for overall vehicle service at 30,000 miles or 50,000 miles, as per recommended by the manufacturers. If the seals require to be replaced, the professional mechanic will replace their seals. If the seals go bad before this mileage, it is recommended to go for the liquid sealers. These sealers resolve minor seal problems. However, if the issue is complex and fluid is leaking rapidly. Replace the seals urgently to prevent other transmission issues is recommended.
Will transmission pan leak impact the transmission performance?
Yes, transmission pan leakage will ultimately impact the transmission's performance. Pan's leakage will mean the fluid will be leaked, which can starve different transmission parts. So, check for any visual damage to the transmission pan and get it replaced to avoid transmission starvation. Transmission pans are generally expensive but important components that need to be replaced urgently.
What are transmission sealers, and how can they resolve bad seal problems?
These sealers are liquids that can be applied at bad transmission seals or gaskets. These sealers resolve minor leakage problems preventing the leakage of the fluid. However, when fluid leakage is high, these sealers might not work.

Q: Limit as x goes to infinity of (50)(cosx)^3/(x^2+10) How do I find the limit  $$\lim_{x \to +\infty}\frac{50(\cos x)^3}{x^2+10}?$$
I have tried dividing by $1/x$, so it becomes ($50(\cos x)^3)/(x)/(x +\frac{10}x)$. But I seem to be stuck from here. Am I even on the right track?

A: Since $-1\leqslant\cos x\leqslant 1$, we have $-1\leqslant\cos^3x\leqslant1$, hence $-50\leqslant50\cos^3x\leqslant50$. And since $\tfrac{1}{x^2+10}$ is always positive, we can deduce that :
$$
-\frac{50}{x^2+10}\leqslant\frac{50\cos^3x}{x^2+10}\leqslant\frac{50}{x^2+10}.
$$
And by the squeeze theorem :
$$
\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{50\cos^3x}{x^2+10}=0.
$$

The importance of the learning environment
By Julie Keyes
Associate, Independent Schools Portal
The world of educational discourse moves in all too familiar cycles, with a school's focus gently swaying between issues concerning the curriculum and those affecting pastoral care. Most recently, the spotlight has firmly been placed – thanks largely to the new OFSTED framework – on the curriculum.
As teachers, we are asked to demonstrate what motivates our decisions in choosing each individual element of our curriculum, and clearly indicate how we are going to assess its impact. We are led to question the role assessment plays and attempt to determine what influence the school culture has on pupil attainment. Yet this radical departure has led to a more worrying anomaly. With the discussion so firmly rooted in the details of the school curriculum, has this led to the neglect of the learning environment?
There is a long-standing belief, one that is vehemently championed by followers of the Reggio Emilia and the Montessori approach to education, that the learning environment can have a monumental impact on an individual's learning and attainment.
Famous for coining the phrase 'the third teacher', practitioners adopting these methods are so certain of the impact the environment can have on learning, they place the use of space and resources at the very heart of their curriculum.
It's fundamentals form the basis for the current early years programme, and for good reason. The opportunity for regular immersion in natural and tactile materials; the recognition of the need for providing comfortable areas for rest and relaxation, and the designation of specific areas for high-energy activities, all form part of the daily routine in high-quality Early Years provision. But worryingly, that is often where careful consideration for educational stimulus ends. As we rise through the year groups, the classrooms look increasingly uniform, stagnating into very similar versions of each other. This is alarming when you consider that children don't cease to have unique needs, just because they have reached a certain age.
On the surface, the trend is perhaps bucked by secondary schools. A science lab, for example, is very clearly a science lab, an art room is more often than not, obviously defined by its fixtures and fittings. Whilst on the surface this may appear to set these subjects apart, what it actually illustrates is the blinkered view that we as educators have for our pupils and staff. Classrooms should not be pigeonholed into distinct sectors to allow for short bursts of creativity and investigation. Every room in the school should present the opportunity for awe and wonder, for in-depth inquiry and intricate exploration. Children and teachers should feel inspired by the environment around them, and feel free from the constraints of the traditional classroom.
The world has changed beyond recognition in the last 100 years. The expectations we have of our pupils has elevated to new heights. We are asking our teachers to equip pupils with the skills to solve problems as yet unimagined. Yet our classrooms - the spaces where our pupils gain the knowledge to tackle these problems - have remained unchanged. An engineer from the 1900's would look at today's world in complete disbelief. A teacher from the 1900's would marvel at the invention of the whiteboard, and proceed to go about their business.
So, for a moment, imagine entering an empty classroom, a blank canvas. Ask yourself, what is the core purpose of this room?
Try to elevate the question to one of a higher order, forge an intention that represents an aspirational outcome for the pupils and teachers. Instead of designating a space as a 'maths classroom', perhaps opt for: 'an area that inspires critical thinking'. Alternatively, consider redeploying the reception classroom as: 'a space that engages our youngest learners during their first encounters with formal education.'
By undertaking this approach, we encourage all those involved in the pupil's learning journey to begin with the 'why', rather than the 'what'. And in doing so, create inspirational spaces for a modern generation of high-achievers •

All that Easter fun is catching up with me… Whoops!
Trusting that you had some treats too?
As you can see the cake is yet to be touched! We ate too much other food. The good news is that there is enough rum in there to preserve the cake for the new year… or save it for another celebration, maybe?
That's the great thing about new beginnings there are exciting choices to be made. There is no need to rush, though. Tasting good things at the appropriate time is a treat and should be savoured. Looking forward to the delicious tastes of life this year.
Trusting that you will receive similar special gifts to share with friends and family in 2018. Be blessed.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 says: There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.
That's apparently on Monday the 13th of November. If you didn't know, don't worry neither did I. What a shame that we have to be reminded to do something as fundamental to our well being as to be kind!
I shared a meal with someone this lunchtime. It was a lamb roast lunch, all but for the Yorkshire puddings, that I forgot. The pudding was pineapple upside down cake and custard (made with fresh pineapple.) I know! It tasted better than it looks, my smiley pud. So much for the diet. I'll start tomorrow.
What do you recommend as the best way to show kindness? All ideas greatly received.
Okay! I admit that there were definitely chocolate eggs on this humming-bird cake. Not in the original recipe…However, the pineapple banana and pecans were so good for me. And I took the chocolate off my piece but so enjoyed the rest.
Needless to say, I had considerable help from the family to keep me from falling into the chocolate chomping trap.
Trusting that you can share such a feast over the holiday. With chocolate or without?

This is jumbled and off balance at the moment. The oak is dominant, adding a layer of artificiality. That said, nice structure and fruit profile. I would steer clear of this wine, if you are a fan of overdone sangiovese, then perhaps give it a few years.


Just months after the worst wildfire in Texas broke out in Bastrop County, the area hosted a weekend-long Christmas festival in Lost Pines.
The Lost Pines Christmas Celebration began Thursday and featured a wide range of local crafts and entertainment. Organizers are hoping that people in nearby areas will come to the festival in order to see that Bastrop is still a beautiful place.
They are also hoping that the festival will help to boost the economy in the area. The end of the festival will occur with a Christmas concert at Baptist Presbyterian Fellowship.
The Bastrop fire insurance claims lawyers of Williams Hart are excited to spread the word about the festival and hope that many attended the holiday event. For more information visit the Austin YNN website site.

Steelworkers blast criticism of Rural Dividend Fund suspension
by admin|Published September 24, 2019
The revelation this week at Victoria has put the Rural Dividend program on hiatus has drawn the ire of some Interior mayors and the B.C. Liberals. That, in turn, has drawn the ire of the United Steelworkers Local 1-2017.
"John Horgan and the NDP have already ignored the crisis in the interior forest industry, and now they are going to steal from the Rural Dividend Fund to pay for their half-baked Forestry Transition program," said Andrew Wilkinson, BC Liberal leader, in a news release. "This is an insult to every single community that has lost its primary forestry employment, and now the NDP are taking away their only real hope of diversification."
The news comes a week after Victoria announced a $69-million program to help forest workers affected by a slew of temporary and permanent mill closures. The Rural Dividend Fund was created by the Liberal government and funds projects through the North. Victoria had committed to extending the $25-million-per-year Rural Dividend to 2021-22.
"It is simply unbelievable that during a time of crisis for forestry-dependent communities, the NDP would pile on with the suspension of the Rural Dividend Fund," said Donna Barnett, MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin and Opposition Critic for Rural Development. "Only the NDP would think alienating small communities, driving away economic growth and putting even more jobs at risk is a good idea."
USW Local 1-2017 President Brian O'Rourke was shocked at the comments some Interior mayors and others are making regarding the diversion of funding to new forest worker support programs.
"It's just unbelievable," said O'Rourke. "These same people have been slamming government for not taking action to assist forest workers and communities. What they're saying now makes no sense. This funding diversion will be grouped with additional funding to help dozens of affected communities and thousands of workers and families in the forest sector. Right now there are thousands of workers from both the logging and manufacturing sectors who are not working. They haven't (in some cases) been working for months. These re-directed funds will benefit many more people than someone's special project."
Forest workers are the lifeline in many communities, he said, adding providing assistance to those workers shouldn't be questioned.
"Regrettably, it is and that's very disappointing and, in my view, even shameful," he said. "We have endured a number of downturns over the years and lobbied both federal and provincial governments for assistance because forest workers and forest communities are still the life blood of B.C.'s economy."
He said the union fully supports the government's current actions to assist forest workers.
"It may mean a short term setback for local special projects, but this funding will by far reach and benefit more workers and communities through these challenging times," he said.

The Legal Aid Clinic program aims to provide free legal assistance and counseling to indigent citizens of the City of Manila as well as to equip the students of law a hands-on experience on legal practice.
"The best way to learn law is to learn by experience. Through this program, the students will have an opportunity to apply and share the lessons and principles they have learned in the four corners of the classroom with other members of the community," Associate Dean Marisol DL. Anenias explained during the Orientation Program held at the PLM-CL Moot Court Room last September 25.
Associate Dean Anenias also announced that the PLM College of Law is planning to institutionalize the Legal Aid Program and is coordinating with PLM's Center for University Extension Services (CUES). In this regard, PLM law students, under the supervision of their College officials and professors, will immerse themselves in the community to provide legal assistance and apply everything they learned in class.
Clinical Legal Education in the Law School Curriculum is now prescribed by the Legal Education Board (LEB).
Aside from the Legal Aid Program, the PLM College of Law, along with the other top law schools in the country, complies with the Board's legal mandate thru the existence of the Practical Court or Moot Court as part of the Juris Doctor Curriculum. Likewise included in this thrust, together with the College's advocacy as a law school for the public interest, is its Legal Internship Program or the CLLIP.
More than 30 law students from the PLM College of Law are expected to participate in this endeavor. The PLM Law students have the vision of not only becoming competent lawyers in the future but also efficient public servants who are ready to uphold and protect the public interest especially those who are denied access of the country's justice system.

When will the price of a hcl drop?
Posted By: Matt Taylor The price of the world's most widely used drug, HCl, has plummeted by $7 per litre to $14.98 a litre.
The benchmark price for HCl is $10.40 a litres in London, and the cheapest price for the drug in the world is $14 a liter in Sydney, according to a new analysis by the drug's makers.
HCL has seen price drops in Australia, where it is being used for chronic pain, and in China, where the drug is being approved for treating some cancers.
"The global price for a single pill has dropped by more than 30 per cent since it hit the market in June 2016," the Australian Drug Policy Alliance's director of research, Dr Amy McPherson, said.
"This is a great result and the price drop is a sign that the world of drugs is starting to move away from the old price system that has been around for decades."
This is one of the most important steps in the changeover from old-style price controls to new market-driven pricing systems, which will make it easier for patients to access drugs that can save lives.
The rise in the price "shows that the global market is moving away from old price controls" and "that the global supply chain is moving towards a more market-oriented model". "
A number of countries have adopted a market-based approach to drug pricing and the cost of prescription drugs has been falling over time," she said.
The rise in the price "shows that the global market is moving away from old price controls" and "that the global supply chain is moving towards a more market-oriented model".
A key reason behind the price shift, Dr Mcpherson said, was a shift to a generic version of the drug, called generic-branded HCl.
"While the generic-brand version of HCl has been the standard, the new generic-bought version is now the more expensive version of that drug," Dr Mcpherson added.
"There are also some other reasons for the price decline, such as increased awareness of the cost and potential side effects of the medication, which are likely to be the biggest drivers of price increases."
Dr Jonathan Fennell, head of the research group at the Centre for Health Economics at the University of Western Australia, said HCl had become more expensive to access in Australia.
"In recent years, the price has dropped significantly and that is a good thing," he said.
Dr Fennells study showed that the price for generic-branded HCl fell by more then 50 per cent in Australia between 2014 and 2016, and that it had also been falling in China.
"We're seeing the same thing here in Australia," he added.
China has been a key market for the generic drug, which is the cheapest available.
Dr McPhherson and Dr FENNell said the global drug supply chain was also moving towards market-led pricing.
"Market-led drugs pricing will ensure that patients have access to the most effective drug available at the lowest cost," Dr Fynell said.
But Dr Mcphherson warned there were still "significant barriers to getting generic-prescription drugs to people in Australia".
"Many countries are already introducing generic pricing in some of their markets, and this will not necessarily have an impact on prices for generic drugs, because the drugs will be covered by the same pricing system as generic-patients," she added.

Q: Ordered field in which axiom of completeness is satisfied is set of real numbers I'm unexperienced in analysis, so I don't know how to approach these kind of problems.
If we're given ordered field in which axiom of completeness is satisfied, than it's a set of real numbers. Intuitievly, this is true, but I'm supposed to prove this using only axioms of real numbers.
Axiom of completeness implies that there are not any "gaps" or "missing points" in the real number line.
More formally, $\forall A, B \subset R$; A, B $\not=$ $\varnothing$; if $\forall  a \in$ A and $\forall  b \in$ B; $a \leq b$ than $\exists c;  $$a \leq c$ $\leq b$

A: Here is a sketch of the proof that every complete ordered field is isomorphic to the reals. As the proof is quite long, I will try just to give  references where possible.  Let $K$ be our complete ordered field.
I will take "complete" to mean that every set that is non-empty and bounded above has a supremum. This can easily be shown to be equivalent to your definition.
First of all we can embed the natural numbers $\Bbb{N}$ in $K$, by identifying $n \in \Bbb{N}$ with the sum $\sum_{i=1}^n 1$ in $K$. Using this we can identify $\Bbb{Z}$ and $\Bbb{Q}$ with subrings of $k$. We can show that $K$ is archimedean: for any $x, y > 0$ in $K$, there is $n \in \Bbb{N}$ such that $nx > y$. This follows from completeness (if it were false, $y$ would be an upper bound for the non-empty set $\{nx \mid n \in \Bbb{N}\}$, but it is not difficult to see that that set can have no supremum).
By a theorem of Hölder any archimedean ordered abelian group is order-isomorphic to a subgroup of the additive group $(\Bbb{R}, +)$ of reals. So the additive group $(K, +)$ of $K$ is order-isomorphic to a subgroup $(K', +)$ of $(\Bbb{R}, +)$ and we may assume that $1 \in K$ maps to $1 \in \Bbb{R}$ under this order-isomorphism. Also, $K'$ contains arbitrarily small positive elements, because $1/n \in K$ must be mapped to $1/n \in \Bbb{R}$. This implies that $K'$ is dense in $\Bbb{R}$.
As both $K'$ and $\Bbb{R}$  are complete, and $K'$ is dense in $\Bbb{R}$, we must have that $K' = \Bbb{R}$ (a bounded non-empty set can't have two different suprema in a (totally) ordered set). So we have that the additive groups $(K, +)$ and $(\Bbb{R}, +)$ are order-isomorphic under an isomorphism $\iota : K \to \Bbb{R}$, that maps $1 \in K$ to $1 \in \Bbb{R}$.
It remains to show that the order-isomorphism $\iota$ between $(K, +)$ and $(\Bbb{R}, +)$ respects multiplication. To see this, you show that $\iota(ax) = a\iota(x)$ for every $a \in \Bbb{N}$ and $x \in K$ by an induction on $n$. Then you extend this to give $\iota(ax) = a\iota(x)$ for every $a \in \Bbb{Q}$. Using completeness this gives you that $\iota(ax) = \iota(a)\iota(x)$ for every $a, x \in K$.


The Griffin Campus Structural Pest Management Program's primary focus is the extension of academic expertise and research-based information to a large, diverse client base that is both internal and external to the University. County extension agents, master gardeners, homeowners, and miscellaneous business owners seek advice and recommendations regarding pest management practices and options. Additionally, the 8,000 employees of Georgia's 1,200 pest management firms have ongoing needs for continuing education, pest management troubleshooting, and the provision of a trained and educated workforce. Through a continuous educational effort, the program serves Georgia homeowners by aiding in the development of a well-informed pest control industry.

Ves Blížkovice (německy ) je vesnice, součást městysu Blížkovice v okrese Znojmo. Tvoří jednu ze dvou základních sídelních jednotek obce, přičemž leží ve vlastním katastrálním území o rozloze 14,20 km².

První písemná zmínka o vsi je z roku 1349, kdy je zároveň zmiňován i sousední Městys Blížkovice. Obě sídla, ač stejně pojmenovaná a ležící těsně vedle sebe, byla po většinu své historie samostatná. Roku 1910 byla sloučena v jednu obec, tento stav ale trval pouhý rok. K definitivnímu sloučení Vsi Blížkovice a Městysu Blížkovice došlo v roce 1919, nová obec získala jméno Blížkovice.

Bývalá obec tvoří jihozápadní část současné obce, její intravilán tvoří především zástavba kolem dvou rovnoběžných ulic po obou stranách Syrovického potoka.

Q: Inequality. $a\sqrt{2b+c^2}+b\sqrt{2c+a^2}+c\sqrt{2a+b^2} \leq 3\sqrt{3}$ Could you help me please with the following inequality

Let $a$, $b$ and $c$ be non-negative numbers such that $a+b+c=3.$ Prove that:

$$a\sqrt{2b+c^2}+b\sqrt{2c+a^2}+c\sqrt{2a+b^2} \leq 3\sqrt{3}.$$

A: $$a\sqrt{2b+c^2}+b\sqrt{2c+a^2}+c\sqrt{2a+b^2}=\sqrt{a}\sqrt{2ba+c^2a}+\sqrt{b}\sqrt{2bc+a^2b}+\sqrt{c}\sqrt{2ac+b^2c}$$
Using Cauchy-Schwarz we obtain :
$$\sqrt{a}\sqrt{2ba+c^2a}+\sqrt{b}\sqrt{2bc+a^2b}+\sqrt{c}\sqrt{2ac+b^2c} \leq \sqrt{(a+b+c)\left(a^2b+b^2c+c^2a+2ab+2bc+2ca\right)}=\sqrt{3\left(\sum{2ab}+\sum{c^2a}\right)}.$$
we have to show that:
$$\sum{2ab}+\sum{c^2a} \leq 9 \Leftrightarrow$$
$$2\left(\sum a\right)\left(\sum ab\right)+3\sum c^{2}a\le\left(\sum a\right)^{3}\Leftrightarrow$$
$$ 2\left(\sum a\right)\left(\sum ab\right)+3\sum c^{2}a\le 2\left(\sum a\right)\left(\sum ab\right)+\left(\sum a\right)\left(\sum a^{2}\right)\Leftrightarrow$$
$$3\sum c^{2}a\le\left(\sum a\right)\left(\sum a^{2}\right)\Leftrightarrow$$
$$2\sum c^{2}a\le\sum c^{3}+\sum ca^{2}$$
and using $AM-GM$ inequality we proved the desired inequality.
Original source can be check here.

A: Since $f(x)=\sqrt{x}$ is a concave function, by Jensen we obtain:
$$\sum_{cyc}a\sqrt{2b+c^2}=3\sum_{cyc}\frac{a}{3}\sqrt{2b+c^2}\leq3\sqrt{\sum_{cyc}\frac{a}{3}(2b+c^2)}=\sqrt{3\sum_{cyc}(2ab+a^2b)}=$$
$$=\sqrt{3(9-\sum_{cyc}(a^2-a^2b)}=\sqrt{27-\left((a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2)-3\sum_{cyc}a^2b\right)}=$$
$$=\sqrt{27-\sum_{cyc}(a^3-2a^2b+a^2c)}=\sqrt{27-\sum_{cyc}(a^3-2a^2b+b^2a)}=\sqrt{27-\sum_{cyc}a(a-b)^2}\leq3\sqrt3$$

OTV (formally known as Oglinda TV) was a Romanian TV channel owned by Dan Diaconescu, best known for its talk show, Dan Diaconescu Direct. Although it had a large audience, the channel had very often been criticized for its sensationalist attempts and its obsession with subjects as well as its subversive nature. On 22 January 2013, it was closed as its licence was retracted by the National Audiovisual Council of Romania for not having paid a large sum of money consisting of fines received in the past years, and also for having repeatedly violated Romanian audiovisual legislation.

History of the station

First years and first closure
OTV was launched in 2000 as Oglinda TV (oglinda being the Romanian word for mirror) by Dan Diaconescu, following the imminent closure of the Romanian TV station Tele7ABC, where Diaconescu moderated a talk show, which was called Senzațional. The station's main show has been from its start Dan Diaconescu Direct (Dan Diaconescu Live), a tabloid talk show lasting several hours, from early evening until late night, and featuring obscure guests such as spiritual mediums, manele singers and local petty criminals.

In 2002, due to violation of laws regarding television broadcast, the station's broadcast licence was retracted by the National Audiovisual Council. This interruption in OTV's broadcast lasted for two years and was seen by a part of the general public as an act of censorship of the ruling government. Diaconescu claimed that the ban on his station's broadcast was because he refused to sell a 51% stake of OTV to Adrian Năstase, who was prime minister at that time.

"Investigation serials"
In 2004, after the ban was lifted, OTV restarted its broadcast. It featured three news crawls at the bottom of the screen and various on-screen text captions showing words such as Incredible, Sensational, Extraordinary. The subjects debated on Diaconescu's talk show maintained their tabloid style and included scenarios of a looming doomsday, investigation into "mystery deaths", revelations of religious figures and scandals among Romanian celebrities.

Starting September 2007, OTV became notorious for its investigation into the "mysterious" disappearance of Romanian lawyer Elodia Ghinescu, a subject which was debated for 239 consecutive evenings, termed by the channel episodes, and attracted a significant number of viewers. After the Elodia serial other such subjects received similar coverage. The 2009 Media Sustainability Index noted that: "OTV has a long history of offering Romanians extreme forms of infotainment. Its formal owner organizes long talk shows with bizarre characters, and the main topic is various crimes and disappearances. From 2007 to 2008, OTV organized
several hundred so-called episodes about the disappearance of Elodia Ghinescu, a lawyer who married a police officer. In one episode, Diaconescu instigated a hacker to break into Ghinescu's e-mail inbox and show her personal messages on the air. Ghinescu became a popular icon, although she continues to be missing. Meanwhile, the mainstream media took over the case and followed OTV's example in revealing
personal details about her family." Other Romanian TV stations soon launched similar late-night talk shows, in a process called by Diaconescu the "otevisation" of Romania.

Politics
Traian Băsescu, President of Romania in 2009, was also guest in Diaconescu's show, where he talked about politics and personal affairs. Diaconescu's support for Băsescu ended abruptly in 2010 when the television personality was arrested for allegedly having blackmailed a Romanian mayor. After his release, a few days later, Diaconescu announced that he would enter politics and set up his own political party.

After Diaconescu's announcement that he would enter politics, the subjects debated on his show started to deal with cases of alleged corruption of various politicians, which the station called  ciocoi (roughly meaning fleecer) and to criticise national institutions and state-level decisions which were thought to be against the people, while preparing the ground for the new political party, which was to be called Partidul Poporului (People's Party) by announcing the measures and reforms that the party would take after having reached power. The first point of the measures plan was that every citizen would be given 20.000 euros upon turning 18 years old, which could be invested as the receiver wished. The station soon started calling itself Televiziunea Poporului (People's Television) and Dan Diaconescu started being called the future president of Romania.

The People's Party was created on 19 September 2011, under the name People's Party - Dan Diaconescu, because a party with the name People's Party already existed. Violet and white were chosen as the party's distinctive colors and several graphical elements of the OTV broadcast turned violet. The first congress of the party took place on 21 January 2012 and was broadcast live by OTV. In his speech, Dan Diaconescu, president of the party, said that "he would be the Vlad Țepeș of 2012", that the "dictator" Traian Băsescu, then-president of Romania, would be ousted, and that Victor Ponta and Crin Antonescu were "his [Băsescu's] people".

During the Romanian riots of January 2012, OTV maintained its sensationalist and propagandistic approach when broadcasting live footage of the violent events in Bucharest. The text running on the screen claimed that OTV had become "the emergency service of Romania", that OTV was "the only news television station", that railway transport would be frozen, and that protesters were coming "to ask Diaconescu to become president". These claims were called by Romanian independent media watchdog Pagina de Media, "fantasies" of Diaconescu.

Licence retraction attempts by the National Audiovisual Council

Following repeated violations of the broadcast rules, most significantly broadcasting propaganda for Diaconescu's political party, the National Audiovisual Council decided to diminish the remaining timespan of the broadcast licence of OTV at that time to half of its length, meaning that OTV would have had to end its broadcast on 28 September 2012. Diaconescu claimed that the decision was commanded by president Băsescu and his show in the evening featured a relatively large number of people gathered in the studio, many of them members of Diaconescu's People's Party, waving the Romanian flag and singing party anthems. Nevertheless, the show did not bring much attention from the public, placing OTV only on the 9th place in the rating top.

Two weeks after this decision was made by the council, the same sanction was imposed again, on the grounds of continued propaganda for PPDD, halving once more the remaining timespan of the licence of OTV. Following this second sanction, OTV was due to be shut down on 4 July.

On 24 April, the sanction was imposed for the third time, which was an unprecedented event in Romanian broadcasting. OTV was then due to be shut down on 29 May. Diaconescu's show started later than usual in the evening, after an announcement written in large white characters on a black background that was reading "Today, the People's Television has been forbidden by Traian Băsescu for political reasons." had been broadcast for several hours. Also, a yellow crawl band running at the bottom of the screen announced that Diaconescu was going to "make important unveilings on OTV for the last time". At about 11 PM, Diaconescu appeared on air and held a relaxed free speech, during which he accused various politicians of corruption and also accused members of the NCA of bribery.

After an appeal by Diaconescu at the Bucharest Appeal Court, all the sanctions on OTV's licence were lifted, leaving OTV with its broadcast licence lasting until 2013.

Second licence retraction and the Vatican-based television
In January 2013, after the members of the council were reelected, a review of the fines not paid by television stations over the last few years was made. It has been calculated that OTV had not paid fines totalling over 1 million lei. Within three hours from the receipt of the decision from the council, the broadcast ceased on cable. Shortly afterwards, an online live stream broadcasting the channel was set up and is live as of March 2013. OTV now airs mostly reruns and recordings of Diaconescu's appearances on other TV stations, notably România TV.

Diaconescu made an attempt at circumventing the decision of the council by settling the television in the city of Vatican, with the Vatican-based OTV broadcasting most of its shows from the studios in Romania, but under the name of a foreign company. Even so, OTV is not viewable in most Romanian networks.

OTV Live on România TV
On 15 July 2014, 533 days after OTV's broadcast interruption, Dan Diaconescu relaunched his flagship show under a different name, OTV Live, after an agreement with the news television station România TV. Diaconescu stated that he chose România TV because "of the news television stations, România TV was closest to the pattern of [the former] OTV", "studies [had] shown that much of OTV's audience turned to România TV", and called the agreement a 'barter', since România TV would broadcast the show throughout the night and the Vatican-based OTV would also retransmit shows produced by România TV in the rest of the day.

Diaconescu's appearance with his revamped show on România TV was interpreted by some, notably politician Cozmin Gușă, as an effect of the political alliance that had been agreed between the Social Democratic Party (PSD), which has allegedly been using România TV as it mouthpiece, and Diaconescu's party, PPDD.

Diaconescu's imprisonment
On 4 March 2015, Dan Diaconescu was condemned to five and a half years in prison, having been charged with blackmailing a Romanian mayor, whom he had allegedly threatened with the public disclosure of "real or imaginary facts, such as [his corruption]" on OTV. Reacting to the decision, Diaconescu stated that "they have shut down my TV station, they have shut down my party, now they shut me behind bars".

Dan Diaconescu Direct
Dan Diaconescu Direct, often shortened to DDD, was by far the best-known show of the station, and had been the main show of the station since its start. Resembling a talk-show format, moderated usually by Dan Diaconescu, the owner of OTV, it debated various subjects, often controversial in nature, in a sensationalistic approach. Subjects debated included scandals among Romanian celebrities, revelations of alleged religious figures, scenarios of a looming earthquake or doomsday, various conspiracy theories, events in the life of LGBT people, investigation into "mystery" crimes and, later, alleged cases of corruption of dignitaries. Many of the guests who have appeared on Diaconescu's show were recurring and some have gained popularity just because of their appearances on the show. It was broadcast daily and started at about 8 PM. The ending time has not been a fixed one; the show had sometimes continued throughout the night until early morning hours. At times, the entire show or part of it was in fact a rebroadcast of a previous one.

Setting
In its beginning, the show was set in a relatively small studio which was in fact a room in the bachelor's apartment from where OTV was broadcasting. Because of this, OTV was often ironically called by press "the bachelor-room". After the station relaunch which took place on 15 September 2009, the show had a large studio, whose table is shaped in the form of a lowercase d letter and also has a stage and a video wall.

Unusual events and appearances on the show
The live show has been the stage of many unusual events. One of them was the live "trial" of an alleged spiritual medium, called Mrs. Ildiko. She claimed to possess paranormal abilities when covering her head in a bulky bunch of towels. To prove her capabilities, Diaconescu wrote several times some words on a piece of paper apparently without her seeing or knowing them, and asked her to reproduce them using her medium powers, each time with alleged success. As Mrs. Ildiko was using her "paranormal abilities" to find out the secret words, horror music was being played in the background and lights in the studio were rapidly being switched on and off by the show crew, for effect. Ildiko's appearances on the show have been mocked many times on satire shows of concurrent TV channels.

Another unusual event was the live arrest of a man who allegedly had broken out of prison. The arrest took place during the live show in the show's studio, and the man tried to commit suicide before being immobilised.

Another unusual and controversial event that was broadcast live during the show was an apparent aggression of the show's host, Dan Diaconescu, by a recurrent guest who claimed he was disturbed by Diaconescu's insistence to invite him on the show. The aggressor brought a garbage can in the studio and tried to throw Diaconescu into it, without success. This was regarded by many internet users as a staging, taking into account that neither the reaction of Diaconescu himself nor that of the other guests in the studio nor that of the studio crew to the incident was very strong.

Several times during late night hours, Diaconescu had some of his guests dance on manele during the show on the table in the studio.

Colmore Row
£6m boost to complete Grand Hotel works
Historic building in Birmingham city centre will finally reopen as a hotel in 2018 following grant award
A £6m grant will help to complete restoration of the Grand Hotel
The Grand Hotel in Birmingham city centre is finally set to be restored to its former glory after a £6 million funding boost was secured.
The Greater Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership (GBSLEP) and Birmingham City Council have agreed to provide a grant for the renovation project in Colmore Row.
It means a 16-year wait to return one of the city's most treasured buildings will end in 2018 when it finally opens as a hotel.
The Post understands talks are taking place with two hotel operators for the Grade II*-listed block which will create 200 jobs.
Tony Green, chief executive of owner Hortons' Estate, said the grant meant the scheme was at long last financially viable.
He told the Post: "This does mean the Grand is coming back as a hotel - and without this funding it would not have been - but that does not mean there aren't any more challenges.
"We have always said from the start we were determined to bring it back as a hotel and always said it would be best as an upmarket hotel. I can't imagine it would reopen as anything other than an upmarket hotel.
"It can only be a success if the bedrooms work well and the Grosvenor Room comes back as a place for meetings, balls, conferencing and banqueting."
The Grand has a rich history and even hosted American black rights activist Malcolm X when he gave a speech there in the 1960s.
Hortons' has already ploughed £14 million into work to improve the block, which dates back to 1879, including restoring its façades and putting on a new roof.
The first phase of the internal works will start immediately, creating nine of the 170 new bedrooms, lift shafts, plant rooms and adding a new external terrace and kitchen.
The project will take a year to complete.
This will be followed by the fit-out of the hotel, including the restoration of the ornate Grosvenor Room and the grand staircase.
Hortons' estimates the work will cost in excess of £25 million and says it will be completed for the hotel to opening in 2018.
A total of £4 million of the grant funding is repayable, subject to the commercial success of the hotel.

Babies and dogs often team up to make some pretty adorable partnerships. And this one is no different -- even when they're fighting over the last cookie, they're still astonishingly cute.
Although they may fight over treats, it can actually be good for a baby's health to have a dog around -- a 2012 study in the journal Pediatrics found that infants who grow up in a house with a pet are less likely to get sick than children who grow without one. Scientists theorize that exposure to pet dander and other microbes primes babies' immune systems, making them better able to fight off illnesses later in life.
