Fox leading the Steelers charge
Sheffield Steelers coach Aaron Fox is hoping for his first trophy with the club (PHOTO: Dean Woolley)
A year ago, Sheffield Steelers found himself in unknown territory, limping in seventh place and as far from the honors as he could ever be.
Now they are potentially 60 minutes from their first great honor since this epic play-off finale in 2017, when they needed to double overtime to see in the distance Cardiff Devils in a 6-5 saga.
The rise in the balance sheet of the Steelers and their coach, Aaron Fox, could have something brilliant to show for his efforts during his first year since his replacement by Tom Barrasso.
And his pre-season desire for his team to be back in the conversation is bearing fruit as they face the Devils for the title of Elite League .
"If the goal was to win trophies and close the gap on the best teams, we definitely did and I think the boys will be ready to go when the big game arrives", said Fox.
"Cardiff was the team we wanted to get close to and we're up there with them at the top. I had the impression that the Devils and Belfast were the ones who would reign.
"We have quality and if we are called defensively and ready to fight for 60 minutes, we can do it. If we are a little vanilla, we can be easy to face.

"The fact that we are Friday's confrontation is also interesting for the league, so with this match that follows, it should be good. "
[1959007] Fox arrived at the club in April and spent his time researching the league and everything related to it by tracing a path to the top.
He admits the campaign has been long as the past few weeks are looming, but the fact that they're there gives him something to build up when he starts preparations for next season.
The Steelers are now in second place after Friday's 7-3 loss to the Devils and, at first glance, they may miss the jackpot.
The Challenge Cup is a different beast and Fox knows all about their record in competition, especially around the time of the Elite League but he insists that ; there is no pressure on them to deliver it.
He added, "The season sometimes gets extremely long with each game, which means so much in the end. I have always been used to building a team to be the best at the beginning of March for this huge play-off.
"We took a few nights of rest, which I hope will not cost us much for the future, but it is a grind, that's for sure. "
"We are chasing the three trophies and I think we have done a good job putting ourselves in the position of picking up all three at this point. It's certainly nice to to be there.
The Steelers defeated Glasgow Clan comfortably in the semifinals to reach the Sunday final (PHOTO: Dean Woolley)
"I know the club record in this competition, but there is certainly no pressure or additional pressure on us to overcome this. I feel like if we can play our game it gives us a chance to win it and that is all you can ask for. "
As Fox prepares for its first cup final and a chance to win a very first Challenge Cup in the era of the Elite League for the Steelers, it is convinced that his team will be up to the occasion.
He weighed his opponents before today's game and chose those who impressed him during the season.
Fox said, "Cardiff is a big heavy team with a lot of depth. They play hard, they score in their alignment and have a good power play unit. They were the brand of the ribbon when I signed in Sheffield last year.
"They have a number of players to watch, Joey Martin and Blair Riley do so well for them. Gleason Fournier is also Premier of this league.
"Sean McMonagle also impressed and the most important thing for them is the depth when you see that Joey Haddad is quite a year old. They have a full group of four units with a lot of experience and it is difficult to overcome this.
"We had a rough time during those few weeks and to be honest, I am happy with our position. Of course, nothing is ever perfect, but being where we are is definitely a good thing."

Three Vietnam War veterans reunite after believing one of them died 53 years ago
The last time the two soldiers saw Tony Solis was when they were loading him onto a helicopter in a combat zone in Vietnam. On Saturday, they finally reunited.

CALDWELL, Idaho — Fifty-three years after thinking one of their comrades died in Vietnam, three veterans reunited at a birthday party in Caldwell.
The moment, five decades in the making, was something Ivis Sloane and Jim Mattis never thought would happen.
"The last time I saw him we were loading him on the helicopter," Sloane said.
During the Vietnam War, Sloane and Mattis served with Tony Solis in the 4th Entry Division.
While in a combat zone, Solis was critically wounded.
"I left before and I felt guilty leaving them behind, I felt real bad," Solis said.
Both Sloane and Mattis thought Solis died that day and only found out that he survived after being reconnected online. On Saturday, Mattis and Sloane traveled from out of state to reunite with Solis after all these years during his 76th birthday.
It was a total surprise for Solis.
"I was trying to figure out who he was, I recognized Ivis right away, but Jim, no," he said.
The eventful reunion did not stop there - Solis was also awarded a Purple Heart for his service.
"You got a good family, great to be here with you Tony," Sloane said.
The Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association also joined to honor their fellow veteran with a motorcade to the birthday party.
For everyone involved, the reunion was a touching and emotional moment.
"Best surprise of my life," Solis said.

At KLAS' 2016 Keystone Summit, attendees identified patient engagement and clinician engagement as the final two pillars of population health IT. While pillars are an apt analogy, I also like to think of the two areas as two sides of the same Oreo cookie. Patient engagement and clinician engagement may be different, but they must be taken together to ensure success.
Sadly, significant barriers in both of these areas intimidate everyone involved. Scaling these barriers won't be easy. But if we don't, our goal of improving the population's health will never come to fruition.
There are already efforts underway to get and keep in touch with patients. One of these is the patient portal, a great idea that, unfortunately, most patients don't really use. Even I, who live and breathe healthcare at work every day, can't be bothered to log on to my patient portal unless it's to pay a bill or complete a task that will earn me money for my HSA account.
What about a more direct approach? There are certainly a few of them. Emails? A few patients from the younger generation might at least look at an email, but technology-averse Baby Boomers and patients in low-income households probably won't be able to. Phone calls? Good luck getting anybody younger than 50 to answer a phone call from a number they don't know. Text messages? Again, there's a shot with the Millennials, but their parents and grandparents may not know what to do with a text.
Clearly, it's impossible to please every age group with one or even two methods of patient communication. Provider organizations have every right to be frustrated. That's one reason I'm excited for the Patient Engagement Summit that KLAS will hold later in 2018. I'm confident that the best minds in the industry will be able to come up with a standard framework for the market and brainstorm innovative ways to reach patients.
I bet I'd win the Biggest Understatement of the Year award by saying that providers are busy people. Articles about physician burnout litter the internet, and increasing duties both on and off the computer have clinicians feeling overloaded. How can physicians provide the high-quality care they want to provide?
One answer is that clinicians need to be able to see gaps in their patients' care. But often, technology works against the clinicians instead of with them. If a clinician has to log in and out of five different systems and search each one for information about care gaps, what are the odds of him or her doing so? Not great. Realistically, few clinicians will consistently address gaps in care until those gaps are in a single system, easily visible, and within the clinician workflow. And—let's be honest—a financial incentive wouldn't hurt.
This ideal state can be reached, but only if vendors and providers each do their part. Vendors must provide broader and deeper integration—within their own platforms and with other vendors' tools—so that patient data can easily flow from patient portals and other departments' systems into the EMR workflow. Providers may assume that they are helpless in the quest for effective software, but KLAS' research in the Arch Collaborative has proved otherwise. By sharing accountability with vendors and taking specific steps in their organizations, providers really can make their EMRs and other solutions work for them and, ultimately, the patients.
Those of you still thinking about the Oreo I brought up earlier are probably thinking, "A cute analogy, but the two sides of an Oreo don't hold themselves together—they need cream." Right you are. That's why I would submit that the cream in an Oreo could represent a third component of success: motivation. After all, unmotivated patients are unlikely to make many efforts to take care of themselves, and burned-out providers may not have as much to give to the cause of population health.
This truth may tempt providers to throw up the white flag. "Why should we waste resources on reaching out to patients and improving our clinicians' tools if patients aren't interested in their own health?" Because the easier it is for patients to get involved in their healthcare, the more motivated they are likely to be. Even small improvements can start a positive cycle. As vendors and providers perfect their tools and processes, more patients will respond. This, in turn, will motivate providers and help them lead patients to success. I look forward to watching these delicious dreams of population health become reality.

James Vick believes top-ranked lightweights would have continued to duck him if he'd beat Justin Gaethje
Back in August, streaking UFC lightweight contender James Vick stepped into the cage with former World Series of Fighting lightweight champ Justin Gaethje. For Vick, this bout represented an opportunity to vault into UFC lightweight title contention. Unfortunately, however, he was caught by a thunderous punch in the first round, and instead left the Octagon with his win-streak derailed.
Looking back on this loss to Gaethje, James Vick admits it's been a tough one to swallow.
"I got caught early, and I can't blame anybody but myself," he told MMAjunkie Radio. "I got a big opportunity, and I frickin' blew it, and it sucks. But I'm not any less confident in myself and my skillset. I just feel like it's going to be a long road back to getting a big fight like that, because these guys already don't want to fight me anyway."
"It still sucks and is depressing to lose like that," he added. "It's humiliating. But I've just got to get on another winning streak. I'm not delusional. Some of this stuff ain't fair, but life ain't fair. I may have to go back and win three or four fights, whereas someone like Gaethje only has to win one fight after losing a couple. That's just the way (expletive) is. I blew my opportunity, and I've got to live with that."
While James Vick is understandably disappointed with the way his fight with Justin Gaethje turned out, he doesn't think a win over Gaethje would have made his march to a lightweight title shot all that much easier. The loss stung, but he thinks he would have continued to struggle to find willing dance partners even if he'd won.
"Gaethje is about to fight [Anthony Pettis]," he said. "I guarantee if I would have won, Pettis wouldn't have fought me. These guys still wouldn't have fought me if I would have won. I still would have had to fight someone ranked below me."
What do you think the future holds for James Vick in the perilous UFC lightweight division?

Encountering this massive aircraft at Aurora State Airport was a truly awe-inspiring experience. This retired DC-3, which bravely served during WWII, has an incredible 91,000 hours of logged flight time behind it – perhaps the most airtime of any plane in history. I couldn't believe how well kept it was, just gleaming from polish and completely free of dents or rust spots. With this beast of yesteryear in such good condition, it seemed as if takeoff could happen at any second. I couldn't leave this location without getting a shot that embodied the power and speed this machine's pilots must have experienced decades ago. As I peered over the metallic shoulder of this DC-3, I was completely blown away away by the sheer magnitude of its construction. I could almost feel the ground falling away as I imagined speeding towards the wispy clouds in the distance. I quickly took the shot before the cloud formations above had any chance to dissipate. It was an otherworldly moment that I'll never forget. This image is a tribute to the heroic pilots who took on the skies, and the ingenuity that gave them the promise of safe passage.

Runner Reunites With Gobi, The Dog That Raced Alongside Him on Marathon, After Pup Vanishes

He needed a miracle, and he sure as heck got one.
Dion Leonard, an ultra-marathoner who lives in Scotland, fell in love with a little yellow dog he met while tearing across China's Gobi Desert in a grueling, 155-mile race.

The stray ran alongside Leonard, and straight into his heart, as man and mutt trotted over mountains, rocks and sand.
Since finishing the March race in second place, Leonard has been working to bring the terrier mix he named Gobi home to Edinburgh.

But last week, Leonard got word that Gobi had disappeared. So went to Beijing, and traveled to the village of Urumqi, where Gobi had been living with residents associated with the race.
For days, Leonard handled out fliers, walking the streets with a group of volunteers, all of them searching a very large region for a very tiny dog.
Leonard appeared on TV interviews and pleaded his case to anyone who listened — and a great many did.
"I had been getting more depressed as each day went by," knowing he had to fly home on Sunday, he told InsideEdition.com by phone from China.
At that point, Gobi had been on the run for 10 days.
Then he got a phone call Wednesday night. A woman who offered to hand out fliers after seeing Leonard interviewed on television, happened to hand one to someone who had seen the dog.
"It was all coincidence," said the 41-year-old runner who is an executive with Scottish distillers William Grant & Sons.
After going on a few false alarm visits, Leonard fully expected the latest sighting to be wrong as well.

"She saw me across the room and recognized me immediately," Leonard recounted. "It was amazing. She was literally all over me."
And she hasn't strayed more than a few feet from him since.
"I was not expecting it to be her, so I was completely taken aback. When I got back to my room, I talked about it with my wife and that's when it hit me.
"I was so thankful, and there were tears."

Gobi was found less than two miles from where she had been staying. She has a sore leg and some wounds on her head, and Leonard plans to take her to a vet.
Then he's going to take her to Beijing, to begin the long quarantine process necessary before she can be processed for relocation to Great Britain.
"We've been on a roller coaster," he said. "It was hell on earth for 10 days. But thankfully, miracles happen. You couldn't make it up."

We are in the middle of membership renewals and we thank all of YOU for your continued support of the museum. We are also receiving memorials for Mildred Becker. So the office work is piling up with paper work.
If you need to volunteer any where and love working on the computer, we invite you to join us. We need volunteers that like working with computer entry programs.
The core team on Wednesdays are still organizing and tracking our inventory in the Archives room. They organized the photographs so well that they are now working on newspaper and the other boxes. On your next visit ask to see the archive room, it is a wondrous site. You will gain a new appreciation for what happens in a museum.
Last Friday, the graduating seniors invaded Lipscomb and visited the museum. The sheriff department had them running all over town obtaining different items if they could answer the question correctly at each stop. They were divided into teams and were trying to be first to complete all tasks. It is always nice to have them come into the museum. Congratulations Seniors, we hope you enjoyed your visit.
In 1854, Henry Philemon Attwater was born on April 28th in Brighton, England. He immigrated in 1873 to Canada, where he soon became interested in natural history. During 1884 Attwater collected specimens in Bexa County, where he befriended Gustave Toudouze. In 1189 Attwater moved with his family to Sherman and then to San Antonio; in 1900 he moved to Houston to become the agricultural and industrial agent for the southern Pacific Railroad. In 1907 Attwater and Mervyn Bathurst Davis served on the committee that recommended passage of legislation requiring hunting licenses in Texas, with all revenues from licenses and fines to be used solely for game protection and propagation. Attwater retired in 1913 to devote himself to the study of natural history. during the 1920s he sold his collection to the Witte Museum in San Antonio. Attwater's greater prairie chicken (Tympanuchus cupido attwateri) is one of several species named in his honor. Attwater died in 1931. (source: www.tshaonline.org/day-by-day/April/28).

There's more to the Ripjaws kit than just a cool name. Getting to the stock 2000MHz DDR speed isn't an issue with our ASROCK board and moving to a 1T command rate and squeezing an extra 40MHz DDR out of the kit wasn't hard at all either. While we did try to get higher, we didn't have much luck.
The Ripjaws kit isn't all that fancy when push comes to shove. Sure, it's a bit of an upgrade when compared to a standard heatsink that has no fins, but it's nothing too wacky. While we haven't seen the exact same fin setup before, it's nothing that's going to shock you.
At $119.99 over at Newegg, this is an extremely aggressively priced 2000MHz DDR kit. Sure, the timings are a bit more relaxed than other kits that come in at a higher price, but if you want a 2000MHz kit that isn't going to bust your bank account then this is a perfect fit.
This is a really great kit; pricing on the model is fantastic and it's great for people who want to get into overclocking, if you want to have plenty of head room yet don't want to pay that normal PC3-16000 premium which comes with most kits, you're not going to find anything else that stands out like these Ripjaws modules.


It's almost Mother's Day! Newsflash: moms are superheroes. We've all stressed out our moms at one point or another . . . does "BUT MOOOM!" sound familiar? Honestly, being a mom is probably one of the toughest roles to fill, if not THE toughest. I've heard so many moms (including mine) say that they need some well-deserved "me time" — it's about time we listened, don't you think? What could be a better gift than a day at the spa? Your mom is in luck because TJ Nail Spa can spoil her with a magnificent mani-pedi where all she needs to think about is what nail colour she should pick! (Goals, to be honest). All the while she'll feel like the Q-U-E-E-N she truly is.
Here's another idea: send her straight to De-Stress Land (aka West Coast Shiatsu) with a personalized Japanese-style massage to rejuvenate her mind, body, and soul. No stripping necessary: even the most self-conscious moms will feel extremely comfortable since no piece of clothing has to come off . . . well, except for the part where the massage will knock her socks off LOL.
Last but not least, a Capilano Mall gift card (available at Guest Services) is the perfect gift for moms that "already have everything" or don't know what they want (yet). All you need to do is load up the gift card and voila — or as Cinderella's Fairy Godmother would say bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! Okay, now that you've got some ideas, it's time to make your move. Mom will definitely feel pampered and, most importantly, loved on her special day; happy mommy, happy heart. I am off to spoil my momma!

Physical Anthropology
Book: Physical Anthropology (Schoenberg)
Contributed by Arnie Daniel Schoenberg
Adjunct Professor (Anthropology) at San Diego City College
In previous sections, we compared ourselves to living creatures that you can see running around in their natural habitat, but in the paleoanthropology section, most of our knowledge is based on data gathered through archaeology, and we focus on hominid fossils, and how to interpret them.
6.1: Introduction to Paleoanthropology
Paleoanthropology deals with hominids (bipedal hominoids). In previous sections, we compared ourselves to living creatures that you can see running around in their natural habitat, but in the paleoanthropology section, most of our knowledge is based on data gathered through archaeology, and we focus on hominid fossils, and how to interpret them.
6.2: Trends
It's convenient for us to summarize the evolution of our species into a few broad trends that fit on the back of flash-cards: two feet, smaller teeth, big brains, culture, tools, language, large body size, wide geographic range... This is how evolution made us different from our closest living relatives bonobos, chimpanzees, and gorillas. But at the same time it's important to remember that evolution is not directional. Life doesn't progress towards an ultimate goal.
6.3: Methods
The methods of paleoanthropology are basically the same as paleontology: find a fossil or a gene, and then compare and contrast it to every other fossil, bone, or gene currently known. It is very detail oriented work on all fronts, with surprisingly few "aha!" moments, and many of the debates often come down to the interpretation of statistics.
6.4: Pre-australopithecines
For lack of a better name, we can define this group as primate fossils that date before the known group of australopiths, that show evidence of bipedalism, or dentition similar to later hominins who show bipedalism. One of the major frustrations of paleoanthropology is that this represents a huge time period, and we're trying to answer some of the most important questions of hominid evolution centering around our coming down from the trees with just a handful of fossils.
6.5: Australopithecines
Australopithecines currently come in two flavors, gracile and robust.
6.6: Early Genus Homo
We originally defined the genus Homo because of two interrelated factors: the first evidence for stone tools and significantly bigger brains.
6.7: Homo erectus
Homo erectus is significant for many reasons, but one of the most important is because unlike so many contested hominid paleospecies, we have found so many Homo erectus that almost all paleoanthropologists agree that there was such a thing. Homo erectus was important for its longevity, more than any other hominid so far,it will take us another million years to beat their record.
6.8: Around Homo erectus
Almost all paleoanthropologists acknowledge Homo erectus as a category of hominin in between Australopithecines and anatomically modern Homo sapiens. The transition from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens is less clear. extreme lumpers consider Homo erectus a
6.9: Neandertals
A famous paleoanthropologist said that if a Homo erectus sat down next to you on a bus you might want to change seats, but if it were a Neandertal (also called a European Middle Pleistocene hominid) you just might stare a little. We'll continue this kind of "us" or "them" debate into the next section. Some of the most fascinating recent research are the advances in decoding the Neandertal genome, especially that some were redheads and had an allele (FOXP2) involved with language.
6.10: Denisovians
The Denisovians were another group of hominids that most group with Homo sapiens, but they have slightly different DNA. They have a combination of big teeth, which we usually associated with older hominids, but some complex tools and symbolic behavior that we associate with anatomically modern Homo sapiens.
6.11: The Cerutti Mastodon
Evidence that 130,000 years ago, someone cracked open the bones of mastodons with hammerstones.
6.12: Homo floresiensis
Homo floresiensis is a hominid found on Flores island in Indonesia that lived around 50,000 years ago. It is unusual for its overall small size and small brain size, but its very recent dates. Because of its small size it has been nicknamed the "hobbit".
6.13: Homo naledi
Homo naledi is an amazingly large number of hominid fossils found in a cave in South Africa. The dates haven't been determined but the morphology shows fairly small brains compared to the development of their lower bodies. Also amazing is the difficult of getting bodies to the location, which implies the cultural practice of burial.
6.14: Anatomically Modern Homo sapiens
The phrase "anatomically modern Homo sapiens" is the scientific consensus for the group of hominid skeletons that everyone agrees to call "us".
5.5: Conservation

By Rob Tenery, MD on November 9, 2015
Is there any issue that the Democrats and Republicans can agree? Kate's Law came about when a stay bullet fired by a seven-time convicted felon, Francisco Sanchez, on July 1, 2015, murdered Kate Steinle. Sanchez had been previously deported five times and was back in this country illegally for a sixth time. The tragedy took place in San Francisco that is a sanctuary city, where the city officials do not enforce federal immigration laws. Now over 340 self-proclaimed sanctuary cites exist across the country, which include several cities in Texas--- Houston and Dallas being two.
The Kate's law legislation was initiated by Fox News commentator, Bill O'Reilly and presented on the floor of the U.S. Senate by Senator Ted Cruz earlier last week. The proposed legislation asks for a law that would require at least a five-year, mandatory sentence for any previously convicted felon of a violent crime, who is back in this country illegally. Asking for unanimous support, Former Senate Majority leader Harry Reid arose and objected to the proposed legislation. He stated, "All I've seen from Republican leaders and their caucus is bills that attack immigrants and tear families apart. So I object." The bill will probably be brought up again, but it will need 60 votes in the Senate to pass. Representative Matt Salmon in the US House of Representatives will introduce similar legislation.
On the surface, the objection by Reid might seem like a callous stance by an aging politician who is, one more time, trying to force his way of thinking down the throats of this country. As he has done so many times before, instead Reid is probably acting as a shiel for President Obama, who doesn't want to be faced with the political consequences by vetoing this legislation because it does not fit his agenda of virtually open borders.
There are other considerations against this legislation. According to the U.S. Sentencing Commission, the law would expand the federal prison population by over 57,000 prisoners. The estimated annual cost by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons would be an additional $2 billion. The arguments for the legislation are protection of public safety and probable decrease reentry of the convicted felons once they knew they would face a mandatory five-years of incarceration.
The argument put forward by Harry Reid that the Republicans are against illegal immigrants and their families is more a partisan sham than beneficence on the part of the Democratic Party. As in most things in Washington, it's always about politics! Generally, the Republicans' reasons for limiting illegal immigration are they take away many of the lower paying jobs from citizens, the questionable higher crime rate in the illegal population and the added economic burdens to the entitlement programs, heath care facilities and the funds that are sent back to their home country and not plowed back into this economy.
Even though this is unquestionably the most beneficent country in the world, the real reason the Republicans continue to support immigration reform and the Democrats, by in large, give only token support is the vote. According to the 2009 National Population Projection by the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 50% of immigrants come from Mexico and Latin America and around 20% from the Asian countries. Using the last 2012 Presidential election as an example, 71% of voters with Hispanic origin and 73% coming from Asia voted for Obama over Romney. An additional study by the Pew Research Center found that about 70% of Muslims associate more closely with the Democratic Party. Add to that number the estimated 3% of illegal immigrants who vote despite their illegal status and the number on the Democratic side even goes higher.
That aside, these two issues of Kate's Law and doing away with sanctuary cites should be non-partisan, since both address the safety of our citizenry. It's sad, and frightening at the same time, that Senator Reid and his 'followers' can't put their own selfish, political agendas aside. Let's hope with Obama and Reid gone after the next election, the Democratic Party will move more to the center like the stalwarts of the 1950s and 1960s--- John Kennedy, Sam Raeburn and even Lyndon Johnson.
Maybe Republican strategist Rory Cooper has delivered the wakeup call to the Democrats when he published a tweet that included some eye-opening data: "Under President Obama, Democrats have lost 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats. That's some legacy."


utility can install parking lot lighting if it is installed in accordance with all applicable NEC requirements and other local regulations, which typically include a licensed electrical contractor, permits and electrical inspections.
I am struggling to understand the intent and application of the NEC requirement to increase the size of an equipment grounding conductor (EGC). Is this just for voltage drop?
No, the requirement you are referring to is in first level subdivision 250.122(B). This is not limited to voltage drop and applies wherever ungrounded conductors are increased in size. This requirement applies only to "wire type" EGCs. Where a raceway, such as electrical metallic tubing is used as an EGC, 250.122(B) does not apply. As a result, any situation where an ungrounded conductor is "increased in size from the minimum size that has sufficient ampacity for the intended installation," the Code requires the installer to determine the allowable ampacity of the ungrounded conductors in a given situation and choose the "minimum size" compliant ungrounded conductor. Where a larger ungrounded conductor is installed, the wire type EGC must be increased in size proportionately, according to the circular mil area of the ungrounded conductors. This requirement applies in all situations where the ungrounded conductors are increased in size.
Where larger ungrounded conductors are installed, there is a potential for future use on a larger overcurrent protective device, and the EGC may be undersized when that occurs.
In a prebid meeting with an owner's representative, we were informed that all people installing electrical conductors and equipment on that project had to be trained in NFPA 70E. The justification used was that the defined term for "qualified person" in the NEC included a note that referred to NFPA 70E. I think the owner is confusing NEC requirements with OSHA standards. I was not prepared at that time to engage them in a discussion on exactly what the NEC requires. A large portion of our workforce is trained in NFPA 70E but not all, and only those who are trained are called on to do energized work where it is truly justified. Is the owner correct? What type of training does a qualified person really need for us to comply with the NEC?
cific electrically safe work practices.
It is imperative to recognize that the defined term "qualified person" applies only where the NEC uses the term. However, the defined term states that a qualified person "has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved." That is a very basic concept, and all employers are required to train all employees in the recognition and avoidance of all workplace hazards. All employees will be required to be "qualified" persons with respect to the specific equipment and tasks performed, which may include NFPA 70E training.
In addition, a "qualified person" must have "skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of the electrical equipment and installations." For example, consider employees who work on panelboards, switchboards, branch circuits, feeders and utilization equipment at 600 volts and less. They must have skills and knowledge on all of the equipment they will work on or around. They must be familiar with, and have experience with, the construction and operation of the equipment. They must also have "skills and knowledge" on the installation, meaning they must understand the type of electrical system.

Sequence Nearest Neighbors and Block Edit Operations
Let D be a database of n sequences; we would like to preprocess D so that given any on-line query sequence Q, we can quickly find a sequence S in D for which d(S,Q) < d(S,T) for any other sequence T in D. Here d(S,Q) denotes the "block edit distance" between sequences S and Q, which is defined to be the minimum number of "block edit" operations needed to transform S to T - all edit operations will be reversible so that d(S,T) = d(T,S). The block edit operations correspond to the notion of similarity between sequences in intended application and include character edits (inserts, replacements, deletes etc) as well as block edits (moves, copies, deletes, reversals) and numerical transformations (scaling by an additive or a multiplicative constant). We present the first known efficient algorithm for "approximate" nearest neighbor search for sequences under any set of edit operations. Our preprocessing time and space is polynomial in size of D and query time is near-linear in size of Q; the approximation factor we achieve is O(log k log*^2 k), where k is the size of the longest sequence in D.
The talk will summarize two papers. The first one was co-authored by G. Cormode, M. Paterson, U. Vishkin and appeared in SODA'00. The second one was coauthored by S. Muthukrishnan and appeared in STOC'00.


Home Education Skegness during their beach clean-up.
Members of a home education group is Skegness collected seven bags of rubbish from the resort's shoreline as part of a practical lesson in looking after the planet.
Home Education Skegness held the 'green' session on Skegness beach for its youngsters recently with a view to teaching them about the importance of protecting the natural world.
It saw the children, who were aged from two to 16, pick up litter and anything else that could harm animals – with a wide range of items being collected on the day.
"We had everything from glass, plastic bottles, plastic orange netting to bottle caps, screws and socks!" said Dee Middlebrook, from the group.

Alas, summer is over, and winter is on the way! But it's not all doom and gloom (well, maybe a bit of gloom) as there are plenty of things to look forward to like Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas, to name but a few! With all these get-togethers jammed into the remaining months of the year, winter can be a stressful time for your dog. Loud noises from parties and fireworks, plus new people visiting can leave your dog feeling distressed and anxious.
The earlier the better? This is absolutely true for dog training. Young dogs are extremely curious and still view the world objectively. It's possible to take advantage of this in order to show dogs playfully – but consistently too – what is expected of them and what types of behaviour are undesirable.
When dogs growl and bark, bare their teeth or even bite, human-canine cohabitation is severely put to the test. But why do some dogs turn aggressive and not others? And what can be done to prevent aggressive behaviour?
In many countries, the Golden Retrievers is one of the most popular dog breeds. Let's learn a bit more about these gorgeous dogs.
Are you and your dog bored of always going on the same walks? Do you both want to experience something a little more exciting? Then agility might be just the thing for you! Agility is a modern dog sport that can help to improve communication between you and your dog and is particularly ideal for outdoor fun in the summer.
Your dog pulling on its lead turns every pleasant walk into a test of patience. This pulling can be a particularly serious problem if your dog is a large, heavy breed and difficult to control, especially when your dog decides it wants to dart off in a different direction. Problems with walking your dog on a lead start from puppyhood, but with a bit of know-how and a little patience, you can lay the best foundation for happy on-lead walking in future.
Advice for dog owners also include important tips on dog food, nutritional information and specific diets for dogs who are overweight, have food allergies or are recovering from an illness.
When travelling with your dog, what is the best way to prepare? We talk about the various modes of transport - car, train, bus or plane, and how to plan for those journeys. If travelling abroad, are there any legal aspects to consider and how to make your dog's trip as comfortable as possible.
The dog magazine also deals with all the important, everyday issues, such as exercise, sports and games. How much exercise does your dog really need? And what are some of the activities that specific breeds love to do? We discuss everything about walking or running with your dog, from what lead is best to why your dog is shy around others.

Home » Articles » The Birth of a Nation
By Mark Bauerlein
Last month, Chapman University's film school removed from the walls posters that students and many professors deemed offensive. They were original posters promoting Birth of a Nation, D. W. Griffith's sweeping silent classic set during the Civil War and after. The film was fabulously successful in its day, and historians regard it as a breakthrough in cinematic technique and craft.
But the film is also a powerful specimen of early-20th-century white supremacist propaganda. Griffith based the story on Thomas Dixon's popular Ku Klux Klan novels, which traded in notions of black ignorance and degeneracy as well as Yankee exploitation. In the story, the Klansmen are heroes, not villains. One couldn't find a much better work of art or literature to inflame the 21st-century progressive temper than Griffith's blockbuster. Even in its own day, it sparked protests from negro organizations and intellectuals (though President Woodrow Wilson, an old college chum from Johns Hopkins, loved it).
So, what to do about Birth of a Nation? The artistic genius of the filmmaking is incontrovertible, but the social message is abominable. How should scholars and teachers handle it?
Campus progressives have a quick and handy answer: they ignore it. Why, they ask, should they bother about human creations with racist content? They wish to teach the young to be upright, tolerant, and inclusive. Works of art and literature and philosophy from the past that instill anything else block the proper outcomes. They should be removed from the curriculum.
[How Nine Universities Pander to Campus Radicals]
That's the bare and basic rationale, and it has a disarming simplicity, a linear logic. Conservatives may talk all they want about learning from the errors of the past, or merely the necessity of knowing the past, but progressives don't believe they need any tutelage from previous generations. They've got their vision in place and can implement it all by themselves.
Conservatives may also warn of the dangers of "presentism"—the assumption that we 21st-century citizens understand things so much better than did our forebears—but progressives hold that assumption as an article of faith. That's what makes them progressives; it gives them strength. A conservative caution on this matter strikes them as weak, ineffectual, reactionary.
Conservative warnings about the dangers of utopianism don't faze them, either. The French Revolution became a bloodbath? That's nothing to us. The Russian Revolution gave us Stalinism? That's ancient history. Progressives have too much confidence in their goodness to believe that they might sink into savagery, much less end up eating their own.
And they have another advantage: they aren't shy about attributing base motives to their real and imagined opponents. In the Chapman affair, protesting students composed a tweet with a photograph of themselves standing next to the posters in a hallway of the school. They included this text:
Why does Dodge College, @THR's 6th best US film school, still condone the celebration of white supremacy? (The Hollywood Reporter includes the tweet in the story linked to above. The Reporter ranks Dodge College, Chapman's film school, among the best ones in the country.)
This kind of accusation in the mouths of young progressives is so customary that we have lost touch with its passive-aggressive manner. Does anybody really believe that professors and administrators at Chapman University "condone the celebration of white supremacy"? The charge is ridiculous.
[The Looming Danger for Dissident Professors]
But, of course, it works. For a half-dozen students of color to level it is enough to make everyone afraid. Nobody wants to reply, "Gimme a break." Offense is sufficient evidence of crime. These young warriors live in a habitat of sensitivity wherein the old academic ideals of disinterested study no longer hold. They have a different measure of value when it comes to the works on the syllabus. Their teachers once asked, "Is this work historically significant? Is it aesthetically brilliant? Is it morally and intellectually profound?" The social justice youths ask, instead, "Does this offend me? Does it misrepresent me? Does it do justice to my experience?"
Their leftist teachers agree, but not their liberal teachers. Liberalism in education calls individuals to uphold objectivity. It insists that they exert the labor of understanding before they issue a judgment. Liberalism prizes open-mindedness and deep knowledge, including knowledge of the abhorrent. It distinguishes, too, the aesthetic and historical value from moral and political value.
But from what I have seen, campus liberals can't withstand the sensitivities and indignation of the campus leftists, though they outnumber them completely. What the left lacks in numbers, however, it makes up for with passion. And passion is conspicuously absent from the moderates in higher education. I expect the list of aesthetically great but morally defective artworks that fall into disuse will grow in the years ahead.

There may not be many "classical liberals" left, but there are plenty of "liberals," and I think this is what Mark Bauerlein means, in fact, it is what he said. I'm talking about the faculty. In my experience, the liberals (and the few conservatives) outnumber the "leftists," but Bauerlein is also correct that the liberals have no fight, in contrast to the radicals. I don't buy that the universities are either totally or irreversibly corrupt. It would just take the liberals standing up to the radicals for a while. But, as I say, they don't have the fight in them. Now why that is makes an interesting question. I don't pretend to have a complete answer. One thing undoubtedly is that people are afraid to stand up to minority group members who are or pretend to be offended.
Daphne Patai says:
When I was in grad school at the University of Wisconsin – Madison in the early 1970s, there were already protests against a scheduled showing of "Birth of a Nation." What didn't exist at the time was the hysterical atmosphere of claiming wounded feelings. I wonder how many schools and courses have dared show the film since then.
I agree with Salzman; the true liberals (with the sadly obsolete views Bauerlein delineates) have faded and may no longer exist in significant numbers. And I don't for a moment believe it's genuine sensitivity and indignation that motivate campus censors and their enablers: the censors are power-hungry and used to getting their way. Of course it's fascinating to observe that claiming sensitivity and victim-status has turned into such an effective weapon, but no one should be fooled that these claims are anything other than a very successful current tactic for control of much of campus life. Universities are massively failing to educate students into what intellectual inquiry actually involves; few seem to even try these days, given their well-entrenched institutional biases. The "snowflakes" are really icebergs–proudly visible ones–and they're capsizing many a school.
Ed Cutting, EdD says:
There is another side of Birth of a Nation — the Army of Reconstruction had a lot of problems with alcohol & drugs — remember that Heroin & Cocaine could be freely purchased, this was 40 years before the Federal Narcotic Act. And the best troops (the most disciplined) were needed for the Indian Wars out West.
It isn't easy to be an army of occupation, but it's ideally done with fresh troops whose buddies weren't killed by the now-civilians whom you are now policing. And the US Army had absolutely no experience as an occupying force, the closest they had ever come was to serve as administrators in the Western frontier territories.
So it was a perfect storm and while two wrongs do not make a right, there were real problems with Reconstruction. While the movie makes me cringe (a lot), portions of it serve as a valuable insight as to the mindset of the children (and grandchildren) of Reconstruction.
History is messy, but sanitizing history is Orwellian….
Philip Carl Salzman says:
Bauerlein says, "But from what I have seen, campus liberals can't withstand the sensitivities and indignation of the campus leftists, though they outnumber them completely."
I doubt that classical liberals outnumber progressives among professors. In fact, I doubt that there are many classical liberals at all left in the social sciences and humanities, which are now totally devoted to neo-marxist "social justice." The same is true of university administrators, either radical social justice warriors, or cowardly, principle-less weasels who bow to every minority complaint and demand. Bauerlein gives the impression that universities would be fine, if it were not for a small number of radical students. The reality is quite different: our universities are totally and apparently irreversibly corrupt.

Haki Madini Kenya (HMK) is a community centered coalition that brings together communities in and around mining areas, civil society organisations, faith based organisations and individuals engaging in the mining industry with the primary aim of promoting responsible stewardship of mining resources.
Our goal is to enhance the capacity of HMK and communities affected by the mining sector to engage effectively in national and local decision-making processes on mining issues and building a broad-based platform for collective action.
Our mission is to effectively promote community participation, multi-stakeholder engagement and responsible stewardship in the mining sector in Kenya.

Generally, the extractive sector is largely perceived as a masculine occupation. Women's participation in the sector is much lower than in other sectors of the economy. Only 9.4% of those employed in the extractive sector are women, while overall women constitute 25% of the wage employment force. The majority of women employed occupy low-skilled positions as well as positions at the lower end of the value chain. While women's participation in large-scale extractive project is very low, women are in the majority in the artisanal and small-scale miming (ASM), accounting to up to between 40-100% of the work force.
Women's involvement in ASM is very risky in terms of health hazards as well as regular income. Moreover, women engaged in ASM have very limited access to lucrative markets as well as to affordable capital that would allow them to buy equipment to add value to their produce. Research also suggests that women are more likely to be exposed to the negative impacts (environmentally & socially) of the sector. On the compensation & resettlement/relocation processes in the extractives sector, women are highly disadvantaged due to lack of land security tenure and control of other productive assets.
HMK will seek to enhance the capacity of women to participate in decision-making processes at the local and national levels and advocate for gender responsive policies, compensation, benefit sharing, and resettlement and relocation mechanisms. Women in and around mining areas will be supported to develop an entrepreneurial culture and 'utilize' the economic opportunities availed in the sector.
In 2017, Haki Madini made significant strides in making the mining sector a place where both men and women can thrive and benefit in the extractive sector. Gender mainstreaming is a pillar that is integrated into the goal of all the partners within Haki Madini. Groots Kenya were in the fore front of championing for women since the onset of their organization. In the beginning of their project women were discriminated in the mining sites due to cultural beliefs. After consistent engagements and dialogues with men and stakeholders these discriminations after much needed addressing have seen a significant decrease.
Groots Kenya observed that after the formation of groups women have become more active and now a challenge is getting more men to participate. This is due to a lack of commitment from them. Efforts have been realized in trying to understand their challenges and proactive solutions have been put in place to make them comfortable in the groups. One of the solutions to this challenge is holding meetings at the mining sites.
However, they are still on the frontline in mobilizing and building the capacity of women entrepreneurs because in as much as they addressing issues from both genders women's income is still at an all-time low. They are still encouraging women to optimize their potential in the sector.
GROOTS Kenya has ensured that women are involved in decision-making processes. For example, during the elections of artisanal and small scale miners into Artisanal mining committee at the county level, 2 out of the 3 members elected were women. Women also got a chance to participate in the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) development process by ensuring that the issues that affect them like health, environment, are captured in the CIDP.
The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) Gender mainstreaming was done through deliberate mobilization of men, women and youth participants in all the project forums. NCCK made contacts with the SILK women groups who participated in group level meetings. In partnership with GROOTS Kenya, 6 women from Migori and Taita-taveta were trained on women entrepreneurship. Assessments made during group level meetings revealed gaps on book keeping and leadership which will be strengthened in 2018. With lessons learnt from a Joint monitoring visit in Kakamega, plans will be made for an exchange-learning visit for a few women to learn entrepreneurship skills.
NCCK will strengthen targeted capacity building towards gender issues that have arisen in the course of the two years of implementation also strengthen targeted capacity building towards gender issues that have arisen in the course of the two years of implementation.
Caritas Kitui set up the platforms that deliberately targeted membership from both women and men. The project in the reporting year offered opportunities for both women and men, especially with a focus on women to participate in: radio programs, attend other Haki Madini meetings outside Kitui, to also take part decision making levels of the platform through leadership roles. They were also given opportunities for various HMK and partner capacity building opportunities.
In the radio program, a woman from Kakamega (Groots) was invited to inspire the women in Kitui on how they can strengthen their participation and engagement in mining agenda.

In one of the short video clips of a community member giving brief story about the change as a result of Madini Yetu project, one of the woman stated:" As a woman, women were left out completely on mining issues. Women also did not know their rights and men really took advantage of this. The men could sell land without engaging their spouse thus bringing conflict and affecting children schooling. But now through Madini Yetu Wajibu Wetu we are now realizing our rights, our responsibilities. The projects have also enabled women to know the minerals that exists, their importance, use, effects and benefits and more so how to use those benefits to improve our livelihoods."
