Mass fish escape puts Clallam County salmon farm on hold
SEATTLE (AP) — Officials have put on hold Cooke Aquaculture's application to build a new marine salmon farm in the Strait of Juan de Fuca as the company deals with the escape of thousands of fish from another facility.
Canada-based Cooke Aquaculture asked for a postponement for an upcoming hearing for a project permit, said Clallam County planning manager Steve Gray.
"Given the circumstance, we mutually agreed that that would be best," he said.
Cooke's net-pen holding about 305,000 Atlantic salmon in Skagit County failed Aug. 19. Thousands of the non-native fish have escaped into local rivers and waterways, raising concerns about its potential impact on native salmon.
Cooke also operates net pens off the south end of Bainbridge Island.
State and tribal officials have urged people to catch as many as possible to protect native stocks of wild salmon. The Lummi Nation last week declared a state of emergency.
Over the weekend, Gov. Jay Inslee placed a moratorium on net pen permits until an investigation into the mishap is completed.
Canada-based Cooke is proposing to build 14 floating circular net pens about 1.5 miles offshore. It would move current operations from Port Angeles Harbor and increase production by 20 percent. The company operates eight salmon farms in the state that it acquired last year.
The project requires several permits from local, state and federal agencies.
The company asked that a Sept. 7 hearing before the Clallam County hearing examiner be canceled to allow it to focus on the emergency response effort, Gray said. It also wanted to work with the county to evaluate next steps for its permit application.
"We will certainly look at any new information that comes out of the Cypress Island investigation by the state," said Clallam County's Gray. "That kind of information can be looked at if there's relevance to this proposal."
Cooke has recovered about 141,600 salmon, state officials who mobilized a joint command response to the escape over the weekend said Wednesday.
The Lummi tribe said its anglers have caught another 20,000 fish.
Cooke and its salvage contractor have removed three nets from the damaged site off Cypress Island farm.
The facility, which has been operating for more than 30 years, produces about 3.1 million pounds of fish each year.
Crews planned Wednesday to pump more fish out of the system and remove another net, according to state officials.


Retalon's Markdown Optimization Module monitors a range of critical variables such as current levels of inventory, sales velocity, past & future events, compares projected performance with business goals/objectives, and uses a set of rules and triggers to automatically recommend optimal price adjustments.
Retalon intelligently identifies what drives the sales of each Store/SKU to build the optimal markdown strategy resulting in improved accuracy and profitability.
Users are able to set triggers based on inventory indicators, and price changes account for product performance, available inventory, and inventory levels of similar products automatically.
All Retalon solutions are fully integrated in a common predictive analytics platform.
Pricing has increasingly become more reactive than proactive, leaving many retailers struggling to achieve profitable margins.
How to know when is the best time to mark product down?
What products are elastic to markdown?
What is the best markdown strategy to achieve the inventory reduction goal with maximum profit?
Based on criteria set by user Retalon FORETUNE automatically accounts for any applicable product attributes, seasonality, cannibalization, sales level, inventory standing, corporate policies, constrains and competitive prices. This allows the system to suggest the best price each time, consistently, automatically, and with high accuracy.
Our Price Management technology can take your business to a new level. Click here for our Price Management Solution Overview.
Analysing numerous prices across diverse retail business segments, Retalon statistics shows that in about 40% of cases demand of products depends on price changes (markdown); demand for another 40% of products heavily depends on actual today's price, and the remaining 20% of products are not price elastic. The foundation of this analysis is ability to accurately forecast baseline demand.
It is not feasible to markdown one style/color at 31% and another by 28%. It would look strange if a product is sold at the price of $193.62. The price of $201.02 is about the same as $199.95, but psychologically accepted very differently by the consumers. Moreover, if an online shoppers looking for a product within the $200 range, the product priced at $201.02 will simply not appear on the screen. After the price changes are calculated, the Retalon Optimal Markdown System would bring the prices to more consumable shape and form, based on business rules and policies selected.
Since scenario is usually set at a higher than SKU level (e.g. class), different products (or styles) can end-up obtaining different price change recommendations required to achieve the goal. If for example, the goal is to sell off seasonal merchandised before the end of the season, some styles may require markdown, whether some other well may be sold at the current price before the end of the season. It depends on the corresponding inventory levels and the projected rate of sales. In some cases, the styles with lower inventory on-hand may be completely sold at a higher that current price with much higher margin. In this case the system will indicate this option for users as well.
Find the optimal time for markdown or a sequence of markdowns.
Matching lowest price is a dangerous strategy. You don't necessary have to sell more product to make more money. There is an optimal price point when the quantity of product sold at this price will maximize your gross margin.
You create an impression that your products were hugely overprice initially.

Australia appeals to immigrants for many reasons not least of all the weather. Ahead of arriving though, it is easy to not really grasp the sheer size of Australia and make assumptions about what living in one place or another might be like. Read on for a quick guide.
Australia is simply enormous and the distances between places are frequently underestimated. When Aussies say 'it is just up the road' it is common to discover it to be a several-hundred kilometre trip. Prepare yourself for some long drives if you are seriously contemplating moving to Australia, especially if you will live in rural Australia. Long drives aside though, one of the positives about this is that whatever weather you enjoy will be available to you somewhere in Australia.
For hot and dry weather the best place to go is Western Australia. Summer (that's December to February at this end of the world) in South Western Australia is glorious with hot dry days and evenings offering respite from the heat. The climate in this corner of Australia is very similar to Europe. It gets hot in summer, but it also gets cool in winter, while never really getting cold. There is no humidity though and although rainstorms come rolling through fairly regularly in winter, there are no hurricanes. There are lots of flies in summer though, so you may find yourself developing an 'aussie wave' (ie batting them off with one hand). There is also lots of stunning coastline where you will rarely find the beach busy and can often find that you have the beach to yourself in fact.
The North and North East of Australia is mostly hot and in summer, extremely muggy. The top third (roughly) of Australia lies North of the Tropic of Capricorn and is therefore tropical, getting hotter and more humid, the further North you go. It is reliably warm most of the year . Tropical storms and cyclones crop up occasionally and something else worth mentioning, is that most of the Northern Territory, and far north Queensland, is crocodile country folks. Most beaches display warning signs and crocs have even been found waiting at bus stops in central Cairns. The sea is safer from crocs in southern Queensland and if you just cannot resist taking a dip most beaches have jellyfish nets in jellyfish season.
The South Eastern corner of Australia has the most going on. This corner of Australia is very densely populated and busy with lots of leisure activities available. It also has the most varying climate. It is cold enough for coats and scarves during winter (June – October) and there are snowfields where it is possible to ski near Sydney in the Snowy Mountains but it also gets really hot in summer. It is perfect if you enjoy the different seasons, but you will need both winter and summer wardrobes. This area includes most of the largest settlements. If you prefer a busier lifestyle then this corner of Australia will keep you occupied.
The world's biggest icebox (aka Antarctica) keeps Tasmania cool year-round. Not being attached to the mainland, Tasmania has a more remote feel than a lot of the rest of Australia and a lot of countryside. Tasmania offers a quiet country lifestyle. The temperatures vary from cold to warm. So if you don't handle heat well Tasmania might be the place for you.
The most important thing really if you are migrating, is to spend as much time as possible in the area you plan to move to ahead of committing to a place and do as much research as you can. The more experience and knowledge of a place you have the more confident you can be about moving there. I would always recommend renting rather than buying in your first year. If you are good at making quick decisions though, perhaps a vacation home would work for you. There are plenty of rentals in Australia to choose from which allow you to live normally without committing to a tenancy.
Australia offers so much variety, it really does have a place to suit almost any lifestyle. If it is cold European winters that you seek to avoid, then it can certainly offer an escape.
Which climate do you prefer to holiday or live in and why?

Dave Hill Designs Ra plug-in
MPN #RAPlugIn
Save 9.4%, MSRP $691.00
RA is a Nonlinear plug-in for the professional Audio Engineers that demand the most from their plug-ins.
The plug-in can be thought of as an amplifier that is being over driven, (Wave Form Compression), but there is control over what part is being overdriven. An analogy from photography, it is like the curve function.
The controls in RA are divided into 4 groups.
The first and most useful control is the LOW LEVEL control; it is in the middle of the graphic. This control brings up the low level content of the audio. It may also be thought of as a detail control. It functions like an amplifier being over driven, but works more on the low level part of the signal and less on the high level part. This control generates third harmonic distortion. The LOW LEVEL control can also have a multiplying effect on other plug-ins by increasing their effect.
The LOW LEVEL control is useful on most any kind of signal and is a little like upward compression with out attack and release times. Try is on a vocal and listen to the dynamic change.
The second control group is the PEAK controls. They are like an adjustable soft clip, or an amplifier where you have control over how it saturates, but leaves the low level part of the signal alone. The distortion generated by the PEAK controls is third harmonic. The PEAK control rounds off the peaks of the wave shape and has a hardness value that can be changed. The HARDNESS control's soft setting (0) limits the peak to approximately -3dbfs and the hard setting (100) limits peaks to approximately -10dbfs.
An example to try; take a track with a snare drum that peaks in the range of -3dbfs. Set the LOW LEVEL, PEAK and HARDNESS controls to max. Look at the meter, what you should see is a peak reading around -10dbfs but it should be louder with the plug-in engaged as compared to bypass.
It is also useful in preventing an occasional over.
The next control group generates even harmonic content. These controls are the most difficult to hear and describe. Being that the second harmonic is an octave. In a test some people did not hear 50% distortion if it is only second harmonic. But it does change the feel of things and can have a thicking effect. The TOP control rounds off the top of the wave shape and the BOTTOM control rounds off the bottom of the wave shape. When used together it is possible to have the even harmonic content cancel and have third harmonic distortion left.
Try one of these in conjunction with the LOW LEVEL control on an acoustic guitar, bass or kick drum. You may have noticed that on some recorded tracks that the waveshape can have a shift or peaks on only it's top or bottom edge, this is a result of even harmonic content
The last group has two controls are more like house keeping. The first control which is in front of the signal processing is a DRIVE control that has a plus and minus 6 db range. Being the distortion generator is level dependent, this will allow for a more or less aggressive operation of the process and the ability to better match the process to the track. The DRIVE control is also unity gain from the input to the output. However if you have a -1dbfs signal and increase the drive gain to +6 db you will clip and the clip light indicator will turn red.
The last control of the plug-in is an output level trim which has a range of plus and minus 6 db for matching gain. Clipping the signal with the trim control will light the clip light indicator, but the coloring controls cannot clip. The main use of the LEVEL TRIM is for level matching, being the curve bending is very non linear it is not possible to have a fixed unity gain.
The graphic display shows how the signal is being distorted and is useful in the prediction of what the plug-in will do. The controls are interactive which means each one will affect the process in front of it. Think of the curve display in a graphics program
The AAX version will run both Native and DSP on PT10 and PT11

Part 3 of 4 in the "Focus Groups in Assessment Series"
The analysis and interpretation of focus group data requires judgment and care. Much of the skepticism surrounding the utility of focus groups stems from assumptions that the data can often be subjective and difficult to interpret. Yet, if the proper tools and approaches are used, analyses can be just as rigorous as quantitative counterparts. There is, however, no one best way to analyze focus group data. The scope and goals of a project determine the level of analysis required as well as the most appropriate tools. In this session, we discuss different approaches and the strengths and weaknesses of each, emphasizing how to make sure your focus groups support effective assessment.

Detoxification Diet: Health Benefits Of Colon Hydrotherapy Intravenous Nicotine Detox Essential amino acids are those amino acids which we humans are not able to synthesize in sufficient quantities to meet our daily needs and that must be supplied by the food we eat. Other choices include pure vegetable juice like carrot or beetroot a medium bunch of black grapes or two cups of parsley or yellow tea. The correct balance of bacteria in the gut and the importance of probiotics cannot be overstated. The human body is programmed to tackle low-level toxic attacks.
Our bodies can detoxify potential carcinogens, or repair genetic damages. The protective mechanisms are repair, cellular shedding, detoxification and dietary antioxidants. The human body is quite capable of detoxification if it is fed with adequate water and fiber. As you rejuvenate the cells become healthier and you look and feel younger!

This theme of fasting for mental and spiritual clarity is quite pronounced throughout the bible but in more recent times the principle has been adapted and refined. In fact many now argue that due to the environmental conditions that humans now exist in the old ways simply aren't enough. What is detoxification? Detoxification is the process of either clearing toxins from the body or neutralizing them. Your Liver is Your Best Asset. Even if our bodies already have built-in detox systems we still need to detox once in a while. So Easy Colon Cleanse slow down on the program and start again very gradually.
A regular detox diet plan can rid the body of the accumulated toxins and lead to an active disease-free life. Cut back on cheese meat poultry and refined foods. Eliminate packaged items. Eat more eggs. Detoxifying the body has become an apparent key preventative measure to all kinds of health problems.
Since most of us are busy, and unable or unwilling to maintain a strict diet in order to completely eliminate all the toxins from our body. We have chemicals building up in our bodies day after day. Since these chemicals are not harmful in small amounts, only in larger accumulated amounts, we don't notice side effects until we are much older. A proper, even if occasional, detox diet is necessary to relieve our bodies of harmful toxins and chemicals, and maintain a healthy, normal, and long-lived life. So how do you know when you are detoxifying too quickly? Symptoms of a healing crisis can include: Fever. See detox fasting resorts The procedure works by attracting charged toxic substances in the body and then drawing them out into the water.
Apparently this method might only be effective in getting rid of charged toxins in the body which are mostly metals. Toxins come in various forms and manners; the one unifying thing about them all is that they are dangerous to your health. The exhaust from your automobile is known to be rich in carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide and medical scientists have shown that as little as 0.5% of these chemicals in the blood holds dangerous implication for health. Since the presence of these toxic substances are known to cause the deficiency of several important vitamins and minerals in the body the third step involves restoring these deficient vitamins and minerals; essentially through nutritional supplements. Candida Detox Diet Before we talk about the purpose.
To do a proper cleanse we must start with the Colon cleanse first then cleanse the Liver and finally detoxify the blood. At the end of the process we can start a weight loss program and start eliminating those toxins stored in our fat layers. Because these products claimed to be 'fat free' Americans didn't pay attention to the fact that they were not also 'calorie free' and as a result the total amount of daily calories has slowly been increasing. The diets generally restrict foods from your diet that are said to have harmful toxins.

While following the diet you'll also need to drink eight glasses of water in order to eliminate waste from the blood. If you don't have access to a sauna stand in a hot steamy shower for 5 to 10 minutes at least twice this week. The basic idea behind any detoxification program is; first, identify what toxins or toxic substances are in excess in your body.

If you have lived in the Greater New Orleans area for the past 3-5 years, you have undoubtedly seen scores of advertisements for home lifting companies in New Orleans. This is because many of these companies have been given grants by the Louisiana Hazard Mitigation Program to raise flood-prone homes in the Southeastern Louisiana area. Many of these companies include: Orleans Shoring, Coastal Shoring, Roubion Shoring, Abry Brothers, Inc., Cable Lock Foundation Repair, Patterson Shoring, Elevations Shoring, L.L.C., and many others. The work involved in these projects includes basically tunneling under the home, implementing hydraulic pumps to lift the entire foundation, and the construction of a new foundation which lifts the home higher than before. This is supposed to reduce the risk of flooding homes, and hopefully lower flood insurance premiums and homeowner's insurance premiums for people.
Many of these projects have gone as planned. One can see many different style lift-jobs throughout New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Lakeview, Gentilly, Harahan, and other areas. Some include driveways which lift onto an angle into the home (I don't personally like these). However, some jobs have not gone as planned. There are now reports of some homes being structurally damaged during the home raising jobs. Some of these damages include separation of masonry, cracks in the foundation, leveling problems, elevation problems, cracks in interior and exterior walls, separation of joists in the attic and in other load-bearing members, collapsing of the home, and other aesthetic problems which now make the home less valuable and pretty then before.
The above type of damages can really cause a panic in your life. Your home will probably be worth much less and have diminution in value. You may be embarrassed about the final condition of the home; and you are probably facing tens of thousands of dollars in repair costs to fully make your home structurally-sound.
Solution – Hopefully, if this happened to you, you chose a home lifting contractor with proper licences, insurance coverage, and maybe a bond. If they presented you with a certificate of insurance prior to the home raising job, you need to hold onto it. This may be your ticket to fix this situation. I can help you do this, and obtain the full amount of repair costs and other damages you will be entitled due to the ruin of your home.

With cows, chickens and greenhouses, Qatar takes on regional boycott

DOHA (Reuters) - Two years after flying in thousands of dairy cows to beat a trade embargo, Qatari milk producer Baladna has made its first exports.
Qatar is the world's top liquefied natural gas exporter but a net importer of nearly everything else. The small but wealthy country has been under a trade and transport boycott by Saudi Arabia and its allies since June 2017 that has forced it to retool an economy once heavily reliant on fellow Gulf states.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt accuse Qatar of supporting Islamist terrorist groups. Doha denies this and says the boycott, which closed its only land border and disrupted shipping routes, is an attempt to infringe on its sovereignty.
Baladna received its first cows a month after the boycott and set up a huge diary farm. It says it now supplies more than half of Qatar's fresh milk and is exporting to Afghanistan, Yemen and Oman, and soon to Libya.
Soon after the boycott was imposed, Doha developed new trade routes to replace its former Gulf partners. In late 2017 it opened a $7.4 billion port designed to become a regional transport hub.
Government officials say Baladna's rapid expansion shows the embargo has made Qatar's economy stronger. Their goal is to encourage local producers.
In April, Baladna rolled out a line of fruit juices. In Qatar's supermarkets, brands like Mazzraty, which opened the country's largest poultry plant in January, sit beside "Qatar Farms" displays of local fruit and vegetables.
Vegetable output is up about 20% since mid-2017 to around 66,000 tonnes per year and is expected to increase by 20,000-40,000 tonnes next year as new farms come online, said Sheikh Faleh Bin Naser Al Thani, an agriculture official at the Ministry of Municipality and Environment.
Qatar is now self-sufficient in dairy and fresh poultry. Before 2017 it produced only about 20% and 10% percent of its needs in those sectors, respectively.
"Qatar after June 5, 2017 is not like Qatar before," said Baladna communications director Saba al-Fadala, referring to the start of the boycott. "We now don't want or need anyone."
Schoolchildren tour the milking parlors of Baladna's farm, where 20,000 cows live in vast air-conditioned sheds. The visitors learn how flying in cows restored milk supplies that had been trucked in before Saudi Arabia closed the border.
TAKING A HIT
But other sectors of Qatar's economy have suffered, with real estate and retail taking a hit. Shopping malls and hotels once filled with Saudi and UAE tourists at times appear nearly abandoned. Property prices fell sharply amid a supply glut in the run-up to Qatar hosting the World Cup 2022.
In March, Qatar Airways reported its second straight annual loss. Barred from the airspace of countries imposing the boycott, the state-owned carrier has had to re-route many flights, increasing their duration and cost.
At the same time, the boycott has forced Qatar to mount a public relations drive in the United States and Europe to counter claims by rivals that it finances terrorism.
It has also adopted a lower profile in the region after losing many of the bets it placed during the 2011 Arab Spring in Syria, Libya, and Egypt, where Qatar backed Islamist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood.
But with a national population of just over 320,000 and a $320 billion sovereign fund, Qatar is well-placed to weather the embargo, diplomats and analysts say.
"If you are going to be subject to a blockade, then you better have a lot of money," one banker told Reuters.
In the early months of the crisis, Qatar liquidated nearly $3 billion in U.S. treasury investments and drew down over $40 billion in foreign reserves to support its currency and banks.
The economy has since stabilized, growing 2.2% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2018. Qatar's banks have been replenished by foreign deposits replacing much of the Saudi and Emirati money that left, and its stock market was the top performer in the Middle East last year.
Qatar's goal of greater food self sufficiency has required launching agriculture on a commercial scale in one of the world's harshest desert climates.
Nasser al-Khalaf, the managing director of Agrico, a produce grower and greenhouse manufacturer, says his business has boomed since he designed a system to keep fruit and vegetables cool enough to grow year-round.
In a polycarbon greenhouse, rows of ripening hydroponic tomatoes are cooled below 28 degrees Celsius as the temperature outside tops 40. Khalaf said the system allowed him to more than triple fruit and vegetable production to over 15 tonnes per day
Khalaf said his greenhouses are attracting investors looking at farming for the first time, drawn partly by increased subsidies for power, fertilizer and seeds since 2018.
"We never before saw businessmen investing in farms. They liked to invest in buildings and industry, anything but farms," said Sheikh Faleh, the Qatari official.
Rabban Agriculture is one of the new entrants.
Owner Al Rabban Holding - with investments in property, transport and bottled water - is now considering initiatives including collateral-free loans from Qatari banks for agriculture projects, said deputy chairman Khalifa al-Rabban.
REFORMS AND OUTREACH
Qatari officials and diplomats said there was no sign of a let-up in the Gulf dispute, which has bolstered domestic support for 38-year-old ruler Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
This has allowed him to accelerate reforms requested by Western allies that would have previously have faced local opposition, such as wider labor rights and a liberalized investment code for foreign ownership.
The reforms are intended to position Qatar as "like-minded with the Euro-U.S. community", said a Western diplomat.
Doha pledged nearly $2 billion to expand Al-Udeid, the largest U.S. air base in the region. Qatar Petroleum aims to invest $20 billion in the United States, while the Qatar Investment Authority wants to expand its U.S. portfolio to $45 billion from $30 billion.
Nader Kabbani, director of research at Brookings Doha, said Qatar's tone had changed from initially wanting to resolve the dispute to asserting it can go it alone.
Qatar can do that, said a Western diplomat, thanks to its gas wealth, World Cup exposure and international outreach efforts.

Seven people were hospitalised when a bus and HGV collided at Grangetown, Redcar and Cleveland, this morning. With multiple casualities reported, GNAAS was called in and a doctor and paramedic crew were flown to the scene at 10.30am. Working alongside the other emergency services, the medics assessed the patients and found that thankfully none were seriously injured. All were taken to hospital by road..

Random quote - bedrock principle
"Russia, through its 2014 invasion of Ukraine and its attempted annexation of Crimea, sought to undermine a bedrock international principle shared by democratic states: that no country can change the borders of another by force. The states of the world, including Russia, agreed to this principle in the United Nations Charter, pledging to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. This fundamental principle — which was reaffirmed in the Helsinki Final Act — constitutes one of the foundations upon which our shared security and safety rests.
As we did in the Welles Declaration in 1940, the United States reaffirms as policy its refusal to recognize the Kremlin's claims of sovereignty over territory seized by force in contravention of international law. In concert with allies, partners, and the international community, the United States rejects Russia's attempted annexation of Crimea and pledges to maintain this policy until Ukraine's territorial integrity is restored.
The United States calls on Russia to respect the principles to which it has long claimed to adhere and to end its occupation of Crimea. As democratic states seek to build a free, just, and prosperous world, we must uphold our commitment to the international principle of sovereign equality and respect the territorial integrity of other states. Through its actions, Russia has acted in a manner unworthy of a great nation and has chosen to isolate itself from the international community"

Heart attacks are some of the most common and most terrifying health events to impact seniors today and the older seniors get, the higher their chances are of suffering from one of these heart attacks. If you are looking after a senior loved one who has just suffered a cardiac episode, then you will want to do your best to help them recover and get their life back on track.
A heart attack can be a wakeup call for many people to start taking even better care of themselves and to watch their diet and to start exercising more. However, before seniors can start making these types of changes, they need to make sure their bodies have recovered from this traumatic episode. With this in mind, here are a few post heart attack recovery tips for seniors that can help them on their road to recovery.
Take it slow. A heart attack is a traumatic experience. The body needs time to heal on its own before seniors can start back with their normal activities.
Stop smoking. If your senior loved one is smoking and has suffered from a heart attack, now is the time to stop.
Cut out the salt. This is one diet tip that can not only help with overall health, but it can actually help seniors with managing their blood pressure—which is an important part of post-heart attack living.
Make sure to cut out the bad cholesterol. This is something that should start right away. A healthy diet is the best place to start when making this type of change.
Check for diabetes. If your loved one has not been diagnosed with diabetes, it may be time to check for this disease. Seniors are much more likely to have diabetes than younger adults, having diabetes can actually increase a person's chances of having a heart attack. The heart attack may have been a sign that another condition was developing.
Help your loved one exercise. This should be taken slowly as you don't want your loved one to stress out their cardiovascular system. 30 minutes of exercise per day is a great place to start. Look to low-impact activities like water aerobics, biking and walking.
Keep stress in check. This is another recovery solution that should start right away. Stress is a major factor in heart attacks.
Make life at home easier for your loved one. Whether this means handling the cleaning and cooking or helping them with bathing and dressing, you want your loved one to be able to recover in a comfortable, calm and tranquil environment that won't put them back into a state of stress.
While no one ever wants their senior loved one to suffer from something as difficult as a heart attack, it is important to know how to help those who suffer from heart attacks as they recover. The more time seniors take to focus on their recovery and to recover in the right way, the better off their chances will be of living a healthier post-heart attack life.

La resilienza climatica può essere definita come la capacità di adattamento di un sistema socio-ecologico ai cambiamenti climatici. Si tratta di: (1) assorbire lo stress e mantenere la funzione di fronte agli effetti esterni imposti dai cambiamenti climatici e (2) adattarsi, riorganizzarsi ed evolversi in più configurazioni desiderabili che migliorino la sostenibilità del sistema, lasciandolo meglio preparato per i futuri impatti dei cambiamenti climatici.

Con la crescente consapevolezza del impatto dei cambiamenti climatici da parte di organismi nazionali e internazionali, la costruzione della resilienza climatica è diventata un obiettivo importante per queste istituzioni. L'obiettivo principale nello sforzo di resilienza climatica è affrontare la vulnerabilità climatica che le comunità, gli stati e i paesi hanno per quanto riguarda le conseguenze dei cambiamenti climatici. Attualmente, alla base degli sforzi per la resilienza climatica ci sono strategie sociali, economiche, tecnologiche e politiche che vengono implementate della società a tutte le scale. Dall'azione della comunità locale ai trattati globali, affrontare la resilienza climatica sta diventando una priorità, anche se si potrebbe sostenere che una parte significativa della teoria deve ancora essere messa in pratica. Nonostante ciò, esiste un movimento robusto e in continua crescita, alimentato da organismi locali e nazionali, orientati allo stesso modo alla costruzione e al miglioramento della resilienza climatica.

Q: Override MultipleSelectField with Textarea to add many fields in Django ModelForm I would like to have the possibility to add ManyToMany fields using a textarea instead of MultiSelect field. This textarea will search in DB for tag occurrencies or will add a new tag.
This is my code:
MyModel.py
class Event(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField('Name', max_length=100, blank=True, default='')
    created_at = models.DateTimeField('Date', auto_now_add=True)
    tag = models.ManyToManyField('Tag')

class Tag(models.Model):
    value = models.CharField('Tag Value', max_length=100)

    STATE = (
        ('1', 'domain'),
        ('2', 'ip'),
        ('3', 'url'),
    )

    type = models.CharField('Type', max_length=2, choices=STATE)

admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Event, Tag
from . import forms

@admin.register(Event)
class EventAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('id', 'name', 'created_at')
    form = forms.EventAdminForm

@admin.register(Tag)
class TagAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('value', 'type')

forms.py
class EventAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
    extra_field = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea) # textarea I wish to use to dinamically add tag
    class Meta:
        model = Event
        fields = ['id', 'name', 'tag']

    def save(self, commit=True):
        event_item = super(EventAdminForm, self).save(commit=True)

        uploaded_tags = self.cleaned_data['extra_field']
        uploaded_tags = uploaded_tags.splitlines()

        event_item.tag.clear()

        tag2insert = []

        for custom_tag in uploaded_tags:
            tag_type = getTagType(custom_tag)   # ('1', 'domain') => '1'

            if tag_type != 0:
                t, created = Tag.objects.get_or_create(value=custom_tag, type=tag_type)
                tag2insert.append(i)
                # does not works
                event_item.tag.add(t)
                # does not works
                # event_item.save_m2m()

        # does not works
        # for saved_tag in tag2insert:
        #   event_item.tag.add(saved_tag)

        event_item.save()
        return event_item

I preferred put all "save" logic in forms.py to separate the code.
UPDATE: With this code I have the following error:

'EventForm' object has no attribute 'save_m2m'

A: Overriding save_model in admin.py everything works:
admin.py
def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
    uploaded_tags  = form.cleaned_data['extra_field'].splitlines()

    obj.save()

    tag2insert = []
    for custom_tag in uploaded_tags:
        tag_type = getTagType(custom_tag)   # ('1', 'domain') => '1'

        if tag_type != 0:
            i, created = Tag.objects.get_or_create(value=custom_tag, type=tag_type)
            tag2insert.append(i)

    if len(tag2insert) > 0:
        obj.tag.set(tag2insert)

    obj.save()

Now, my question is: is there a way to override save method in EventAdminForm (forms.py) instead of to put code (save_model code) in admin.py?


Last year I paid a small engine mechanic $65 to rebuild the carburetor on my then 7 year old Mantis Tiller/Cultivator when I couldn't get it to start. This Spring I couldn't get the tiller to start for some time. Then it would run rough for 10 minutes or so and cut out again. Frustrating!! I read up on it, and made some easy adjustments and in about 5 minutes had the tiller working perfectly! See what I did. I hope if you are having problems with your tiller, you can get it fixed. Maybe this will work for you.
Thanks, ikeboy! It is great to be able to share info and also learn from others.
Unfortunately, Jason, the number of turns on the screws is not an exact science. I do understand your frustration though.
Turn the one marked H counterclockwise and the one marked L clockwise–several turns each. It will be necessary to play around with it.
I turned the screws a lot so that I was sure my playing around with it would been backing off what I just did.
Lisa and others, just buy non-ethanol fuel if there is a station nearby. I have a few by me that have it and it's all I run (also in all my fam's pre-2002 vehicles as well). Google " pure gas" to find the locator website. Reply if that works for you. Cheers!
Thanks for the tip! I just Google "pure gas", but there are no pure gas stations close by!! Does sound like a great idea!
Keyslael, I'm glad this video helped!
If you know what you are doing! Please leave any helpful links! Thanks for commenting!
Note that it suggests that you turn both the "L" and "H" screws in all the way and then back them each out two turns. Consider driving to your nearest general aviation airport and filling up a 5-gallon can of either 90 MOGAS or 100LL AVGAS which are extreme premium fuels that have zero detergents, ethanol, or other BS mixed with them. They are the purest form. Caution with storage as avfuel is more volatile.
Thanks for those suggestions chipjumper! I did not know there were fuels available with no ethanol!
Rebuilding carb is easy. Just take your time and lay out parts in order you remove. Clean the main casting, Replace the gaskets, replace Bulb (mine dies & cracked. Replace fuel filter. I got kit on eBay.
Also you can buy pre-mixed gas with no ethanol at Lowes (probably any hardware or big box that sells 2-cycle equipment) Not cheap but if you can't get 100% gas locally this is an option. Also if you plan to mix your own be sure to add Stay-Bul if you plan keeping gas over 30 days.
what you gotta do is turn them both out about 1/12 turns the low speed is for the fuel to air mixture at idle and the high speed is for when you have it throttled up. I have a good ear to tell when it is running at the right mixture but what i just recommend is to just play around with it till it runs like it used to. I obviously can tell that you have gotten it but if not a mower shop will usually not even take it in a mechanic will come out and do it for you and charge little money for it.
Thanks Warriordriver! I wish you were my neighbor!
I'm glad you got your tiller working Ana! Good luck!
woo hoo thank you!!!! between the 2 screws and the air filter we are back to tilling!!
Thanks, this adjustment worked on one I borrowed too… it is damn touchy I have found to get the "sweet spot"
Thanks for the video tips! Have the same problem with the idling/quitting, then waiting a few min and it running again.
Once engine is warm adjust "L" screw for best idle. The haflway reference means to open screw counterclockwise till idle drops then go clockwise till idle drops count the turns between these settings and split the difference. For the "H" screw you need a helper to run the tiller in the dirt full speed under load while doing the same adjustment procedure. You can do this out of the dirt but it's hard on the engine and not as accurate. When setting the "H" screw it is VERY IMPORTANT to err on the rich side……..this means don't set so the engine is screaming cleanly (too lean). You want to go a little more counter clockwise from screaming cleanly to where the sound blubbers slightly (slightly rich). This setting protects the engine from expensive heat damage.
It's good to write down your final settings for future reference (exact number of turns).
These settings can change slightly from summer to winter and with different fuel and oil mixes. It helps to be consistent with your fuel and oil mix and drain or stabilize the fuel when your machine sits for extended time.
I have a new mantis tiller and have only been able to use it for thirty minutes. It cranked up and cut off have not been able to use it since, I have the 4 cycle and I use the gas and oil that is not mixed together. I have no problems getting push mowers to run. I am going to have to return mine it I can't get it to run. Very disappointed I have one twenty years ago and it worked great.
look uo Chipjumper … down about 10 comments lower… it WORKED !!!!!
I have had to adjust my H/L needle screws every year.My tiller is about 5 years old and has the plastic limiters on the screws which allows you to turn the screws only so far.The third year I had to remove the plastic limiter caps so I could get a little more out of the screws.I popped off the caps and then put the caps back on so more counter clockwise adjustment was possible.This year same thing,wouldn't stay running.I adjusted the H screw to full counter clockwise position that the limiter would allow.Still wouldn't stay running.I was going to adjust the limiter caps again,but decided to do a google search for gum/varnish remover.I found one that sounded pretty good.Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment.I went to Home Depot this morning and got a bottle.It recommends 1 fl oz per 6 gallons.I got home,put about a quarter oz in the mantis tank and shook the whole tiller.Choked it and got it started for a second or 2.Started it again.I had to get some of the treated fuel to the carb.It stalled.I started it again and it started screaming the way a 2 stroke should.I adjusted the idle screw half a turn to keep it idling.I'm headed out to do some tilling in a bit.Should run even better after a while.I should also tell you that I put in last season 2 stroke mix.I know,always use fresh fuel,I just hate wasting gas.The previous years,fresh fuel had been used and still had the starting/running problem before adjusting the screws.That Star Tron stuff claims to refresh old fuel.We'll see.I have the bigger 4 stroke mantis xp also.That one started fine yesterday.That thing is a beast!
I had my mantis carb. rebuilt at a place in Sioux City.. got it home after shelling out 72 bux…It would not start… I pulled on the rope 18 maybe 25 times before it would offer to start and then another 10-15 pulls to get it started.. So i watched your video and adjusted the high & low needles now it starts and runs like it should have .Thank You so much for this video !!!
Great video! I'm rebuilding a Mantis 7222m tiller for a friend. He's giving me a Honda 4-stroke tiller in exchange for my labor. However, the Honda tiller does not run. After no success in getting the Honda to start, I discovered the cam belt was broke, so no wonder he offered the Honda to fix his Mantis. I purchased the new belt and twp seals, so I have my work cut out, as this is only a hobby of mine. Many thanks for some of your details, as they should help.
Just a note, do not pay to have the carb rebuilt. You can buy a brand new carburetor, with the gaskets, a new set of fuel lines and gas filter, an air filter, and a spark plug all together in a kit. They sell on Ebay or Amazon for $30-45.
There are a number of places to buy non-ethanol gas. I've purchased it in cans at Lowe's, Home Depot and Sears. You can buy pure gas, or an oil and gas mix of 40-to-1 or 50-to-1, depending on your machine. My Mantis takes 50-to-1. It is expensive, but cheaper and less aggravating over time than the break-downs and repair expenses caused by the corn ethanol that is added to gasoline. As for carburetors, a rebuild is nothing more than cleaning it and swapping out a few disposable parts. There are many videos on YouTube showing how it's done. Although having rebuilt the tiny 2-stroke carb on my Mantis, I wouldn't bother again. By the time you buy the rebuild kit and a can of cleaner, you may as well buy a new carb direct from China, incredibly cheap, free shipping and no tax. Just make sure you look at your carb to get the correct brand and model,which is stamped on the carb, probably it's a Zuma brand. Also, use PayPal to order it. Don't send your credit card number to a foreign country!
Thank you so much for this! I had changed my carburetor; the mantis turned on quickly, but the tines wouldn't move properly. This did the trick!!!
Mantis tiller with plastic choke started.after about twenty pulls, ran ten seconds then quit. Now will not start at all.
Thank you very much, your video was excellent, close up shots, captions and no fluff. My old mantis is running and digging like a champ. I can't thank you enough!
you were lucky to get it started. what it was referring to turn the L screw half-way was when the red and white caps are on. with those off you are on your own.
Yeah. I got one of these "easy start" mantis tillers and it wont start and yes the tines wont start when it does run for less than 2 minutes then dies. Brand new last year–it started 3 times and I was never able to finish anything. This company is horrible. This product is so much work to own. Who the hell wants to screw around with a tiller like this when there is work to be done? Getting rid of this pos tomorrow and purchasing a real tiller.
Rebuild the carb yourself, rebuild kits are cheap and it's an easy job. Don't like ethanol gas? That's understandable, it gums stuff up bad if you don't run the carb dry at the end of every season you're back to non-starting and rough running. Use engineered, canned 50:1 fuel instead of mixing your own with unleaded gas that will contain 10% ethanol in most places.
oh my gosh I was ready to set my tiller on fire until I saw your video. Thank you.
Use premium non-oxygenated gas only. Any gas that has ethanol in it will gum up the carb over time. Learned that lesson the hard way. Since I've switched gas I haven't had a problem with my small engines.
one thing to check that slips by a lot of people on any 2 cycle engine ,, "check the muffler spark arrester screen" if it has one and make sure its not plugged with carbon clean it if it is ,, after sitting in storage carbon will harden restricting the exhaust flow and it will never run right if it is,, The diaphragm carburetor on most mantis tillers is made by Zama and they have an adjustment procedure listed on there website simply search " How to adjust typical diaphragm carburetors – Zama — I will add always perform adjustments with the tines removed for safety ,, and adjust the throttle idle speed setting screw (not the low speed mixture needle adjustment) so the engine idles without the tine shaft revolving , if the engine bogs when you go to give it throttle your low speed mixture needs to made slightly richer ,, use care when adjusting the high speed mixture to adjust for highest engine speed "then turn the high speed screw out counter clockwise slightly until the engine just barely starts to 4 stroke the change in sound will be noticeable" as an adjustment that's too lean can cause a lack of proper 2 cycle engine lubrication and damage the engine,, when the engine is working under load that is the correct adjustment.

SfN Hosts DC Brain Bee
High school students from the Washington, DC, metro area tested their knowledge about the brain and nervous system during the regional Brain Bee on February 10. The competition aims to motivate secondary school students to learn about the brain and inspire them to pursue careers in the sciences.
"In the Washington, DC, area we have such a mix of people; we have people whose parents work in NIH and we have inner-city kids who are thinking, 'Neuroscience? I can't do neuroscience,'" says Benjamin Walker, assistant professor of psychology at Georgetown University and a judge for the DC Brain Bee. "It's fun to see these really bright students getting fired up about the brain."
Soren Christensen, a ninth-grader at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Va., bested 17 other students to become the DC Brain Bee winner. Christensen said he enjoys learning about the "future possibilities of neuroscience with medication and treatment" for disorders such autism. He will go on to compete in the U.S. National Brain Bee on March 20-22 in Baltimore.
The Society for Neuroscience hosts the DC Brain Bee and is a sponsor of the U.S. and international Brain Bees, founded by Norbert Myslinski of the University of Maryland. SfN also arranges a scientific laboratory internship for the U.S. and international winners.

« IAEA: Iran Has No Nuke Program | Main | Candidates Incite and Suck »
(Non-)Interference in Lebanon
On Wednesday the Lebanese parliament will elect a new president. If the (s)election fails, another civil war is a very possible outcome. All parties are heavily armed and 20,000 troops are staged within the capital.
According to the Lebanese constitution, the president has to be a Christian and elected by a two-thirds parliamentary majority. The Maronite patriarch Sfeir made a list of possible candidates and the ruling March 14 coalition is supposed to agree with the opposition on one of the listed persons.
The March 14 group consists of the Sunni followers of the Saudi business mogul Hariri and some Christian groups and is supported by the U.S., France and Saudi Arabia. It is now negotiating with the opposition which represents the Shia Hizbullah and the Christian leader Aoun and his followers. These are supported by Syria and Iran.
The elections are of course an internal Lebanese affair:
[Former Prime Minister Salim] Hoss warned against foreign interference in Lebanon's domestic issues, "because such interference has ostensibly jeopardized all chances to reach a consensus among the Lebanese."
Two weeks ago non-interference was also demanded by Rice and Kouchner:
"It was also the expectation of everyone that there would be no intimidation and interference [in Lebanon]," [Rice] added, ..
Earlier, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said he had emphasised to Moualem in bilateral talks in Istanbul the importance of non-interference in Lebanon by outsiders.
"I warned Syria of the imperative need to allow the presidential election process to go ahead according to the constitution ... without any external interference," Kouchner told reporters.
But there is interference and interference and a big difference between those two. One can obviously be against the first and do the second:
Kouchner, .., is on his sixth visit to Lebanon in six months.
Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa is also due to arrive here on Monday evening to push for a consensus president. On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice telephoned Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, also an opposition leader, saying that the United States supports a new president who enjoys the support of all the Lebanese people.
She also called Maronite Patriarch Sfeir, Prime Minister Fouad Seniora and parliamentary majority leader Saad Hariri to exchange views on means to solve the deadlock.
With so much (non-)interference from the outside, the result will likely be tragic for the Lebanese people.
Hey Bernhard,
I know you must think that these phone calls are the most terrible type of interference in the world, but they're not.
Essentially, in every case you mentioned above the words spoken by the French and American foreign ministers [secretary of state] were in support of the country's state institutions (such as Parliament) and the constitutional election process for a new President.
If you really are interested in foreign interference then give a moment's thought to assassinations of anti-Syrian MPs [by Syria]; or the arming of illicit groups in Lebanon [by Syria]; or the use of Hizballah by Iran to project its regional political/military aspirations. In each one of those cases Lebanese people paid with their blood because of that interference.
Calling local goons [e.g. Berri] and politicians in Lebanon to remind them that the world is watching and cares and that the rule of law [as opposed to violence] should be respected - can hardly compare.

& it is so so evident that the institutions of state whether they are in beirut or washington or parisare themselves nothing but a collection of interests. in this case - amongst the most corrupt interests existant
& as for goons - the fascist phalange & all their variations pollute the political life of lebanon & always have. gngsters dressing themselves up as god
& fuck the allussions to syria & iran - what are you reading from - some notebook left on the terrace of a bar in tripoli by some co-ed cnn rap/porteur
if the u s empire would get the fuck out of the middle east, if the israeli's were obliged to create a decent form of international relations, if the corrupt clans who converge with the interests of condaleeza from tel aviv to rawalpindi were obliged to use their own force & imagination - perhaps this world might be a little better
but drop the propaganda - we have a tough time swimming through that shit everyday
Posted by: remembereringgiap | Nov 19 2007 22:59 utc | 2
@Blacksmith sure - no interference by the U.S. - just the U.S. ambassador playing constitutional court ...
The March 14 coalition, led by Saad Hariri, the son of Rafik Hariri, has threatened to choose a president itself and form a government with its slim majority rather than continue seeking consensus. That position has been publicly endorsed as constitutional by U.S. Ambassador Jeffrey Feltman.
The President of the Republic shall be elected by secret ballot and by a twothirds majority of the Chamber of Deputies. After a first ballot, an absolute majority shall be sufficient.
But what if the chamber of deputies does not convene? (which is currently the case) Than it's Feltman's decision?
BTW: How do you know who killed what parliamentarian?

Presidential Elections Likely to Be Postponed till Friday
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Tuesday was expected to postpone till Friday a presidential election session to choose a new president for Lebanon.
Several officials said Berri would likely postpone Wednesday's session to Friday, just hours before the mandate of current head of state Emile Lahoud expires.
"Everything indicates that Berri and (parliamentary) majority leader Saad Hariri will agree to postpone the session to Friday to allow for negotiations to continue on a consensus candidate," an official with the ruling March 14 coalition told AFP.
Lebanese President promises not to hand over power to prime minister
Regarding the eventuality that no new Lebanese President would be voted on Friday with a two-thirds majority, President Emile Lahoud, whose term expires Friday night, said he would not hand over executive powers to the prime minister since he considers the current administration as unconstitutional, but that he would consider handing over power to the Commander in Chief of the armed forces or even declaring a state of emergency.

What Can We Learn From Teenagers? [Rebroadcast]
January 12th, 2019 •50:58
All over the country, a chorus of hope is coming from an unexpected group — teenagers. They are marching, protesting and demanding a better future as we – the adults – watch them with a kind of heartbreaking pride. These teenagers are not waiting for adults to figure things out for them.
They have superpowers — innocence, idealism, and Instagram — and they aren't waiting for permission to use them to reshape the conversation around everything from gun control to education to climate change.
What can we learn from teenagers today? What do they have that the rest of us don't?
