Keto Breath - What It Is and How To Prevent It From Happening!
You want to be in ketosis. That's how you're going to trim the fat from your body, but when starting out on the keto diet, a lot of people don't know about some of the unfortunate side effects that come with ketosis. One of those unwanted side effects can be Keto Breath. It's an unpleasant odor and taste that can come with achieving ketosis. Today, we're going to look into this side effect. We'll tell you what it is, why it happens, and how to get rid of Keto Breath! No one wants their breath all janky, so let's dive right in so you can avoid (or remove) your keto breath and still hit your body goals!
It doesn't happen for everyone. Some people actually find it useful. You can be unsure if you're actually in ketosis so much of the time, but keto breath is a clear indicator that your body is burning fat for energy instead of carbs. To others, it's an unpleasant odor. It can be fruity, or it can smell heavily of ammonia. If your breath smells like nail polish remover, you've achieved ketosis… unfortunately, your breath smells like nail polish remover, and most people don't want that. A lot of people out there have also reported a metallic taste that comes along with it… so that's not good either.
It's an unpleasant side effect of how your body is getting energy now. When the body burns fat, it produces acetone as a by-product. While you usually get acetone out of your body via exhaling or urinating, when you're burning so much fat, it can overwhelm your system and the odor can become significantly more pronounced. The result is Keto Breath. The good news is that it's a sign you're in ketosis, but the bad news is that it can stick around for a while.
Mints & Gum – Cover it up! Use sugar-free gum, and if the problem isn't particularly severe, it might be easily concealed. We can't vouch for the taste going away when the gum loses its flavor though.
Increase Carbs or Lower Protein Intake – This is a less popular solution for dealing with the problem since it may take you out of ketosis. Less protein may help produce less acetone which may solve the problem. Adjust your protein level before resorting to adjusting carb levels.
Drink More Water – As we mentioned, your body can get rid of acetone via urine. Drinking more water may help flush your system of the excess.
Time – Some people have reported that Keto Breath sticks around for months, other say it only lasts a day or two. Sometimes, your body can adjust and fix the problem itself.
No diet is easy, and while this may have been an unforeseen consequence of keto, most people believe it's worth it to just deal with Keto Breath until they hit their body goals. It all depends on your commitment and what you're will to put into your weight loss! There's no one singular solution to help deal with the problem, so if you found one that works for you, great! Keep at it!

Fewer and fewer babies born in the U.S.
American women are having children at the lowest rate on record, with the number of babies born in the U.S. last year dropping to a 30-year low, federal figures released Thursday showed.
"Every year I expect the number of births to go up and they don't," said Prof. Johnson.
This dearth of births could exacerbate the problems of America's aging population. Many baby boomers are in or are near retirement, leaving a smaller share of young workers to pay into Social Security and Medicare. That is creating a funding imbalance that strains the social safety net that supports the elderly.


Three consecutive years have brought with them CD revelations about the greatest 20th-century composer who is yet to be widely celebrated as such. In 2015, Maxim Rysanov shone a light upon Martinu's works featuring solo viola and now, following Supraphon's essential 2016 recordings of the last (mini) opera Ariane and the complete piano trios, comes a cumulatively stunning presentation of four late cantatas. All based on the mixture of folk wisdom and sophisticated poetic conceits in the writing of Miloslav Bures, they celebrate the natural world and its regenerative powers in the face of human loss, disaster and failure.
Each begins arrestingly – the first sounds we hear are of recorder and clarinet – and acquires emotional weight as it goes. The unpromisingly-titled Legend of the Smoke from Potato Tops builds on the fresh-air brilliance of Janácek's Glagolitic Mass as the Virgin and her Son leave a dark church for the Bohemian outdoors. The Opening of the Springs, superficially the simplest of the four, celebrates the ritualistic late-May clearance of struggling fresh-water sources and ends with Martinu's answer to the old-age wisdom of The Cunning Little Vixen. Baritone Jirí Brückler is superb here, and the top-quality professional Prague Philharmonic Choir master the most harmonically rich cantata of the four, a tale of a girl who doesn't recognise her long-lost love returning from the wars. Mikes of the Mountains is the perfect summing-up: the embellished tale of a wise shepherd guiding his flock through the worst that nature can throw at them. Valuable messages for our or indeed any time, and superlatively performed. Unmissable.

A Dallas designer, Emily Johnston Larkin, brings dazzling style to interior spaces with bright colors and bold patterns.
Browsing through Emily Johnston Larkin's portfolio is a lot like looking through a kaleidoscope. Vivid hues and dramatic patterns shift and shine with every turn, as rooms come to life under this young designer's capable hands. There is inherent happiness in every design, an exuberance that mirrors Emily's own energetic personality.
Emily loves mixing clean-lined, modern pieces of furniture with antiques and vintage finds to create an interesting juxtaposition of styles. The rooms are always polished and pulled together, but she can't resist throwing in unique "wow" elements that are great conversation starters. Case in point: the bland TV-room-turned-swanky-lounge she recently completed for a young couple. She replaced the dated carpet with glossy black-and-white tile in a checkerboard pattern and installed a banquette covered in malachite printed fabric with pink velvet bolsters. The pièce de résistance? A metallic cowhide rug—after all, it was Texas!
A self-professed "magazine junkie," Emily is constantly perusing design publications, tearing out ideas she likes and filing them away in binders organized by room. She loves to travel and stays in different designer or boutique hotels each time to experience the interiors of other cities, countries, and cultures. And as if designing and traveling isn't enough to keep her busy, she also contributes to a blog with the catchy name Material Girls, which she produces with designers in five major cities, counting her own Big D.

The Former Home of the Cowboys Could Be Your Future Home
Dan Solomon
https://www.texasmonthly.com/the-daily-post/the-former-home-of-the-cowboys-could-be-your-future-home/
It's been a long time since anybody did anything at the site of the old Texas Stadium besides drive past, remember the Troy Aikman/Michael Irvin/Emmit Smith glory days, and silently curse Jerry Jones under their breath. But the venue in which the Cowboys played winning seasons (yes, yes, they did have that one in the new stadium) may once more be the site of great feats—of shopping, working, dining, and living, if the mixed-use development plans currently before the Irving City Council come to pass.
It may not be as inspiring as Aikman to Harper on a game-sealing slant pass, but San Diego developer Dene Oliver unveiled his proposal before the city council yesterday, according to the Dallas Morning News:
Dene Oliver, the CEO of San-Diego-based Oliver McMillan, visited Irving City Hall today and went public with his plans for the old Texas Stadium site. It's been in the works, under wraps, since the mayor and chamber approached Oliver about nine months ago.
But his plan was shy on details for the site, focusing instead on the many multimillion-dollar projects his company has built or is building in cities from New York to Honolulu.
Most of those are mixed-use projects — trendy lofts above sprawling blocks of retail, dining and office space. Presumably, that's what Oliver would like to develop on the stadium site. He wants the council to vote Thursday to give his company its blessing (and six months of exclusive negotiating rights) as he hires architects and engineers to draw up plans as pretty as these ones.
The "these ones" in question are the portfolio of Oliver McMillan, a collection of sleek, contemporary-looking mixed use developments similar to many dotting Dallas and the Metroplex. (Houstonians will recognize the company's work at the River Oaks District, pictured above.) While it's not exactly a bold vision, the idea that there could be something else on the former site of such a landmark is interesting nonetheless.

Maximum wall thickness and luminal area were measured with gadoli
Maximum wall thickness and luminal area were measured with gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in both common carotid arteries (CCAs) and in one internal carotid artery (ICA)
2 mm above the flow divider. Complete data were available for 1064 ICAs and 3348 CCAs. The association of maximum wall thickness with lumen area was evaluated with linear regression, and adjustments were made for participant age, sex, race, height, and height squared.
Results: In the ICA, lumen area was relatively constant across patients with a wall thickness of 1.38 mm or less. In patients with a wall thickness of more than 1.38 mm, however, lumen area decreased linearly as wall thickness increased. Wall area represented a median of 61.9% of the area circumscribed by the vessel at a maximum wall thickness of 1.50 mm +/- 0.05 (standard deviation) Entinostat cost and 75.4% at a maximum wall thickness of 4.0 mm +/- 0.10. In the CCA,
lumen area was preserved across wall thicknesses less than 2.06 mm, representing 99% of vessels.
Conclusion: Atherosclerotic thickening in the ICA appears to be accommodated for vessels with a maximum wall thickness of less than 1.5 mm. Beyond this threshold, greater thickness is associated NVP-AUY922 price with a smaller lumen. The CCA appears to accommodate a wall thickness of less than 2.0 mm. These estimates indicate that the carotid arteries are able to compensate for a greater degree of thickening than are the coronary arteries. (C) RSNA, 2010″
"QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY/PRINCIPLES:
Analysis of changes in the behaviour of wearing protective equipment by alpine skiers and snowboarders after injury, performed at a level I trauma centre in Switzerland.
METHODS: We present a study, using a standardised questionnaire, assessing behaviour on ski slopes by adult patients admitted between Oct 2007 and April 2008. Patients were re-interviewed after the 2008/2009 season. McNemar tests were used to analyse selleck compound differences in protective clothing wearing rates between the two seasons. Multiple logistic regression with age, gender and injury severity score (ISS) as predictors, was used to compare findings in those who started wearing protective equipment and those who did not.
RESULTS: A total of 104/132 patients from the 2007/2008 season were questioned about wearing protective equipment in 2008/2009. 20 patients could not be reassessed (7 declined, 13 had abandoned winter sports). A total of 84 patients were reassessed (61 alpine skiers and 23 snowboarders). The median age of participants was 39 years and 70.2% were male. Helmet and back protector wearing rates increased from 40.5% to 78.6% (p <0.001) and from 14.3% to 23.8% (p = 0.021), respectively. Snowboarders more than doubled their helmet wearing rate (39.1% to 82.6%, p = 0.002). Skiers showed a trend towards doubling their back protector wearing rate (6.6% to 14.8%, p = 0.063). Younger skiers started wearing back protectors more often than older skiers.


Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is performed as part of your in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure if medically indicated. It is a process in which an embryologist injects a single sperm into the cytoplasm (center) of each egg. After the embryologist fertilizes the egg with the sperm, he or she will observe the egg over the next day or so. If fertilization occurs and the embryo matures properly, a physician can transfer it into your uterus.
Your physician may recommend ICSI as part of your IVF procedure to treat many causes of infertility, especially when there is a problem with the sperm, such as low motility (movement) or a low sperm count. ICSI is especially useful in cases where the sperm cannot penetrate the egg or if the sperm is abnormally shaped. This treatment has been revolutionary in treating male factor infertility cases.

Retail workers say they're under pressure to get your emails
by Juliana Feliciano Reyes, Posted: June 21, 2018

For the retail industry, customer emails are currency.
Get that address, and a company can personalize customers' future experiences, targeting them for discounts and promotions that could make them more likely to become repeat customers.
The responsibility to capture those emails often falls to the sales associates working the floor. In fact, collecting emails and signing customers up for loyalty programs is a big part of those jobs now, said Jill Dvorak, senior director of digital retail for the National Retail Foundation.
But workers at Five Below, the Philly-based national discount chain that's made headlines for thriving in the age of Amazon, say there are consequences when they don't. They're told email collection affects how many hours they get each week.
Tiffany Rogers, a recent Parkway Center City Middle College graduate who worked at the Five Below on Columbus Boulevard for five months, said she was told she had to get emails from 25 percent of the customers she rang up.
>> READ MORE: The nationwide workers' fight against unpredictable hours has hit Philadelphia
In February, after watching her hours dwindle from more than 20 a week during the holiday season to 10 to 14 after New Year's, she got scheduled for just four hours two weeks in a row. When she asked her manager about it, he told her it was because she wasn't getting enough emails.
"You have to get the emails," Rogers said her manager told her.
It wasn't easy. These were people who were buying a slime kit or a bag of sour gummy worms for a few bucks and they'd usually get defensive. What do you need my email for? they'd ask. She didn't actually know. It was never explained to her.
Sometimes, out of desperation, her coworkers would make up emails just to satisfy their bosses, but she was afraid she'd get in trouble if she was discovered.
Five Below workers across the country who posted on job review sites such as Glassdoor and Indeed had similar accounts, some saying their ability to get a raise was also tied to their ability to get emails.
"You have to get at least 20 percent in e-mails every week and sometimes [it] can be difficult because a lot of customers want to get in and get out or consider Five Below e-mails spam," wrote one former employee in Columbus, Ohio, who otherwise rated the job with five stars last December. "Sometimes one of our shifts would get taken if we didn't hit 20 percent."

A former manager in Hopkinsville, Ky., wrote in April: "You have to obtain e-mails from customers and if you don't they hound you to the point of quitting."
Five Below marketing manager Dana Zuppo said there is no email quota for cashiers, nor are there incentives for workers to collect emails.
"The email ask at the register," she said, "is simply to benefit the customer, allowing them to stay in tune with the brand."
In a recent earnings call, the same day Five Below's stock rose to nearly $100 a share, the highest it has been since it went public in 2012, CEO Joel Anderson said a new point-of-sale system would begin to hit its more than 650 stores later this year. It's one that "provides the functionality and flexibility" for such features as a loyalty program. (Some in the industry recommend using email receipts or digital payments in order to more easily sign customers up for promotions at the point-of-sale.)
Dvorak of the National Retail Foundation said she hadn't heard of retailers using email quotas, but, "if they are out there, hopefully they're emphasizing quality and interest."
>> READ MORE: What the CEO-worker pay ratio tells us about Philly's publicly traded firms
She pointed out that email collection is about quality over quantity — they're only valuable if they result in customers making follow-up purchases.
She advises giving customers incentives: Offer a newsletter that will include exclusive promotions for a specific zip code or a discount for signing up. And, she said, it's also important to train your workers to know when and how to ask, so it's done in a respectful way that will make customers more likely to give their emails.
When it comes down to it, retail workers often complain about unrealistic job demands because they fear they'll be fired, said Chelsea Connor of the New York-based Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store International Union. This lack of worker protections is one reason organizations such as OnePA are advocating for a "fair workweek" law that will regulate how retail companies schedule their employees.
"You're effectively measuring someone's success on someone's willingness to give over their personal data," Connor said. "That doesn't make sense."

Civic Center Council Chambers
Mayor Morrison called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. in the Civic Center Council Chambers.
Councilors Hardesty, Amarotico, Hartzell, Jackson, Silbiger and Chapman were present.
MAYOR'S ANNOUNCEMENT OF BOARD AND COMMISSION VACANCIES
Mayor Morrison announced there are volunteer positions available on the Forest Lands and Bicycle & Pedestrian Commissions.
The minutes of the Regular Council meeting of September 5, 2006 were approved with the following amendments: page 3 - She stated they the City ask this of small grantees and does not think there should be a double standard." "She also questioned whether the deliverables under the Methodology actions listed on Page 2…" Page 5 - "She also suggested the policies and procedures be adopted reviewed and adopted before they move forward…"
1. Bicycle & Pedestrian Commission Annual Presentation.
Staff Liaison Derek Severson, Commissioners Tracy Harding, David Young and Paul Rostykus addressed the Council. Mr. Severson explained that the Bicycle & Pedestrian Commission consists of nine voting members, one who is a City Councilor, and four non-voting members. They meet the third Thursday of every month at 51 Winburn Way at 5:15 p.m. The Bicycle & Pedestrian Commission works to promote bicycling, walking and other non-motorized forms of transportation and presents bicycle safety education in local schools.
Commissioner Young spoke in memory of Carole Wheeldon and her contributions to bicycle and pedestrian safety in the City. He also stated that the 2006 Car Free Day would be dedicated in her honor. Commissioner Harding spoke regarding Car Free Day, scheduled for September 22, and provided an explanation of the day's activities. Commissioner Rostykus announced that the City of Ashland was recognized by the League of American Bicyclists as being a bicycle friendly community at their bronze level. He stated that the Commission has been working with the BTA (Bicycle Transportation Alliance) of Portland, the Traffic and Safety Commission, and the Parks Foundation to put on bicycle safety, riding skills, and bike maintenance classes in the middle and elementary schools.
2. Mayor's Proclamation of September 19 as "Ashland Car Free Day" was read aloud.
3. Report on Interagency Council on Homelessness (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development).
Paul Carlson from the US Interagency Council on Homelessness, from the Seattle HUD office, gave a report on the national effort to assist in the effort to end homelessness. The agency's responsibilities are three fold: 1) to coordinate the efforts of all the Federal agencies 2) to work on the State level 3) to work with local communities for the development of local plans to end homelessness. He gave some facts about the cost of homelessness: the cost of allowing a person to remain homeless is twice as much as the cost of housing and providing services. In other words, it costs $44,000/year to allow a person to remain homeless and only $20,000 to house them with expensive services. 10% of homeless, who are out there the longest, consume about 50% of the resources devoted to the issue. People who are homeless, or who have mental illness, typically stay in jail for twice as long as those who are not homeless - even for the same crime.
The effort to end homelessness has found the greatest success from permanent, sustainable housing. This is where communities assist people both to find permanent housing and to have assistance with the basics. Mr. Carlson is hopeful that Ashland will work with Jackson County to create a committee to develop a valley-wide plan.
4. Presentation from DEQ on P.M. 2.5 Emissions.
John Becker with the local Department of Environmental Quality returned to finish the discussion from the March 21, 2006 meeting regarding the proposed new federal air quality standards for fine particulate matter (PM 2.5). He encouraged a wood stove change out ordinance, as well as a residential open-burning ban. He gave updates on all the local cities and their progress.
Councilor Jackson confirmed that the reason for this request is that the requirements for air quality is about to be more restrictive, and so we are striving to have better air quality to stay in compliance for the future. Councilor Hartzell requested a template for both the woodstove and the open burning ordinances. Mr. Becker stated he would be happy to provide those. Councilor Chapman asked if it would be possible to end slash burning. Mr. Becker stated that this is a common request, but is unfortunately outside of DEQ's ability to control. Councilor Hartzell asked if it would be of any assistance to receive a letter from the City of Ashland requesting Federal funding to support DEQ for these projects. Mr. Becker stated that DEQ is planning on introducing legislation relating to these things, and one does contain a package for grant funding to local communities to help enforce these ordinances.
Councilors Hartzell/Jackson m/s to have staff return with woodstove change out and open burning ban ordinance information. Voice vote: All AYES. Motion passed.
Councilor Hartzell also requested that staff prepare a letter to the governor's office requesting funding for the restoration of the air quality program.
5. Mayor's Proclamation of September 30 as "First Nation's day" was read aloud.
1. Minutes of Boards, Commissions, and Committees.
2. Appointment of Jim Olney to the Bicycle & Pedestrian Commission.
3. Approval of Public Contract Greater than $75,000 - Electric Line Truck.
4. RVTD Contract Approval.
Council Hartzell requested that item number 4 be pulled for discussion.
Councilors Hartzell/Jackson m/s to approve items 1-3 of Consent Agenda. Voice Vote: all AYES. Motion passed.
Councilor Hartzell requested some clarification on the contract. Item 1.1 states that the contract will end on June 30, 2007, yet item 2.1 states that at the start of the new fiscal year, the program would automatically begin again. She would like clarity on if the contract will be automatically renewed, or the program. It was determined that the last sentence of 2.1 should be struck.
Councilor Hartzell requested the detailed ridership report, listed in 1.3, is given to each council member.
Councilor Silbiger asked that the City request that RVTD remove the signs for all the unused routes. Mrs. Bennett stated that this request had already been made. It was suggested that a letter be written to RVTD, from the Mayor, re-stating this request. Councilor Hartzell also requested that in the letter we ask for the times of the bus pick up is added to the posted information. Mrs. Seltzer stated that RVTD would be posting the route maps, including the times, in all bus shelters soon. Mayor Morrison agreed to write the letter regarding the request that incorrect signs are removed and correct signage be added.
Councilor Chapman wanted clarification on when it was determined that the City would be subsidizing Valley Lift $15.54 per ride. Mrs. Seltzer reminded the Council that this was discussed and the "Proposed Costs to the City of Ashland for RVTD Extended Services" handout was in their packet for the June 28, 2006 meeting.
Councilor Hartzell requested that with the monthly ridership report we track whether or not we will be running out of funds before the end of the fiscal year, and if so, how will be handle this financially. She worried that this is an uncontrolled cost, and we could potentially be required to spend money we have not budgeted for. Councilor Silbiger stated that the control is when we run out of money, we stop the program. Councilor Hartzell is concerned that we could end up more heavily subsidizing Valley Lift and have less available for the regular riders. Councilor Silbiger reminded her that this was specifically the risk the Council took in June when choosing this plan.
Councilors Hartzell/Silbiger m/s to approve the contract with the first word of item 1.1 changed to "contract" and the last sentence deleted from item 2.1. DISCUSSION: Councilor Hardesty wanted to know if we were ever going to discuss this again in a study session. All agreed that this would be brought forward for further discussion at a later study session. Roll Call VOTE: Hardesty, Amarotico, Hartzell, Jackson, Silbiger, Chapman, YES. Motion passed.
1. Settlement of a Property Ownership Dispute in Timberline Subdivision.
Paula Brown gave history of the dispute. The ownership of this property has never been established in records. The legal department recommended that staff deed the property to Joe and Ruth Jarvis in exchange for retaining bicycle and pedestrian, utility, storm drain, and slope and drainage easements. The property could not be developed, nor could a road be built there, due to the steepness. Councilor Hartzell requested clarification on as to whether or not we need to record something stating that no building could occur which will compromise the easements. Mrs. Brown stated that if we retain the easements we are requesting, that will be record enough to protect the property.
Mayor Morrison questioned information as to when this particular parcel fell off the tax maps. Mrs. Brown stated that it, most likely, was never on any tax record. The property was never truly deeded to the City and so was never part of the tax record. Mayor Morrison wanted to know if the Jarvis' were requesting the back taxes as well and what are the legalities of this regarding taxes. Mrs. Brown stated that if we were to do nothing, which would likely lead the Jarvis' to file a lawsuit, then this could become very messy.
Public Hearing Open: 9:17 pm
No public testimony given.
Public Hearing Closed: 9:18 pm
Councilors Chapman/Amarotico m/s to approve the deed, authorize the Mayor and the City Recorder to sign it, and direct staff to resolve the back-taxes issue. Voice Vote: Hardesty, Amarotico, Jackson, Silbiger, Chapman, YES, Hartzell, NO. Motion passed 5-1.
Ambuja Rosen / showed a new poster of a permanently chained dog. She stated that an anti-tethering ordinance would have protected this dog. She stated that an ordinance would also protect those who would prefer to report abuse anonymously, and complained about the county's requirement for people reporting animal abuse to give contact information. She requested the council enact an anti-chaining ordinance.
Marilee Jenkinson / gave information regarding Lieutenant Ethren Watada, who is under court-martial in Fort Lewis Washington. She urged the council to approve a resolution telling Fort Lewis to stop the court-martial.
Tracy Harding / remind the council of the hikes which have been organized to tour the Mt. Ashland Expansion Area.
1. Request to close Main and Lithia Way as part of First Nations Day.
Public Works Director. Paula Brown described the request for closures and the background as where the request comes from in regards to the closing of streets for First Nations Day celebration. The original request was to close one lane on Lithia and one lane on N. Main for the celebration. Later it was requested that both directions be closed or create two-way traffic on Lithia. Mrs. Brown stated that due to the difficulties with ODOT, the preference was not to have two-way traffic. She stated that they are applying to ODOT and working with the Police Department to close one lane of traffic in each direction. However, if she gets instructions she can work with ODOT on closing both lanes.
Robert Brothers/ Urged the Council to close both Main and Lithia Way for the sake of this celebration. He described the theatrical nature of this prayer celebration. He reminded us that just as we do not like to hear the sound of cars while in the theater, we do not want to have the sound of cars during this celebration. He stated that the amount of traffic on an average Saturday, the disturbance would not be too excessive.
Jim Young / Stated he is grateful for this new addition to the art community. He feels the more we can make the community connected to the art, the more they will seek to preserve and protect.
Ed Little Crow / Urged the council to close the streets. He stated he is from the Crow-Creek Indian Reservation and traveled from South Dakota for this celebration. He wanted to thank the council for their patience and tolerance and for taking the time to consider this request.
Thomas Doty / Urged the council to close the streets. Stated he wants this to be an opportunity for the Native Americans to tell their story. He feels that this is a sacred ceremony and should be given the same respect as any sacred church ceremony.
David West / Gave a quick history of the Native American alliance program and the history of the Native American people in the area. He hopes that we can have Ashland begin the return to this being a healing area and an active presence of Native peoples. He urged the Council to grant this request and to come and celebrate with the participants.
Agnes Baker Pilgrim / Stated her concerns over the maintenance of the sculpture. She is thankful for this sculpture, and believes it will help bring about healing between peoples.
Marko Bey / Urged the Council to close the streets.
Nick Frost / Urged the Council to close the streets. Stated that greater closure equals greater awareness.
Councilor Chapman supported full closure. Councilor Hartzell wanted to clarify that even on 4th of July we have two-way on Lithia Way. Mrs. Brown stated that even though this all-lane closure request is new, with the Council's recommendation she could go to ODOT easier. They can close Lithia from Oak to Helman and Main from Wimer to Oak for the hour of the celebration. Councilor Jackson supports the closure as well. She believes the financial expenditure will be greater due to the extra police assistance. Paula stated that with the amount of people we have for the current closure it probably will not add that much more staff time or expense.
Councilors Jackson/Chapman m/s to close N Main and Lithia, between Oak and Hersey for the time-period of the dedication on September 30, 2006. Discussion: Councilor Hartzell questioned whether the proposal put forward proposed that Mr. Haines share in the costs of this closure. Mrs. Bennett stated that the original estimate was $1100, to be split 50/50 between Mr. Haines and the City. She stated that the Council does need to be prepared to pay for anything over that amount. Councilor Silbiger suggested that we maintain the 50/50 split, regardless of this new increase in costs.
Councilors Silbiger/Hartzell proposed an amendment that the costs of the street closure be shared 50/50 between the City and the Applicant. Voice Vote: All AYES. Amendment passed.
Voice Vote on Motion: all AYES. Motion passed.
2. Follow up on September 6, 2006 Study Session on Mt Ashland QA/QC Team and Advisory Group.
Public Works Director Paula Brown stated that at the September 6, 2006 study session staff was requested to bring this item back, so that Council could vote on their decision on how to proceed with the selection of the QA/QC advisory group and then the QA/QC team.
Councilor Chapman questioned if there were many firms who could fall into the RFP requirements. Mrs. Brown stated that there were many firms who have knowledge of other mountains, but not necessarily many who are familiar with Mt. Ashland. However, most teams typically will hire a consultant who has the expertise the City requires.
Councilor Jackson likes option #3 because she likes the idea of a group who has already a good working relationship. Confirmed that Staff wants a decision from Council on the members of the advisory group, so that the advisory group can then determine the details of the RFP. Mrs. Brown stated that is correct.
Councilor Hartzell prefers that the advisory tem make a recommendation on the QA/QC team, but that Council make the final decision. She suggested that the advisory group have a few modifications; have at least one representative from the two sides of the current litigation (i.e. one or two from Mt. Ashland and one or two from the Sierra Club- as long as the numbers are even,) if Forrest Service is involved they should be a non-voting member. She is supportive of the idea of the advisory committee.
Councilor Hardesty wondered if having two council representatives on the advisory team, particularly as both Councilor Hartzell and Councilor Jackson are so familiar with the project.
Councilor Jackson stated that the advisory group represents the entire community and therefore requests that the members not be labeled either environmentalists or non-environmentalists. Councilor Hartzell stated that the reason she wanted one from each group, was that this is a particularly specialized issue, and so she requested people who are close to this issue be on the advisory group. She would prefer that those two groups determine whom they would prefer to send to the team.
Councilor Amarotico wanted clarification as to why the Council members on the advisory team should be voting members. In the term Quality Assurance / Quality Control, he is not sure how they can ring in on the science that the other members will be bringing into the meeting. It was determined that this is a topic for another discussion.
Eric Navickas/ stated that the absence of Mt Ashland in this discussion shows how little they care for the interests of the City. He believes that this is the time for the City to take this issue seriously, and have discussion with legal as to how to proceed.
Andy Bayless/ stated that he appreciated Paula and the City's work on this, but wanted to remind us that Michael Hogan works for ski areas, he is not necessarily a neutral person. He does not like items 1 or 4 in the council packet. He feels it is important that the Council retain over-site of the QA/QC team. It seems to him that Mt. Ashland has decided to stop working with the City.
Paul Copeland/ stated that the letter from Mt. Ashland seems to be pointing us in a new direction. He thinks that Paula and Martha have done their best to uphold the previous resolution, approved last November. Suggested that the RFP could be both for firms or individuals
Tom Dimitre / stated that options 1 or 4 are not acceptable, as Michael Hogan is not independent, as he works for Mt. Ashland Association, so 2 or 3 are acceptable. This it is important that the city re-iterate that Mt. Ashland.
Councilor Silbiger suggested that the group contained someone experienced in mediation. He thinks that the previously discussed advisory team is acceptable. He leans towards option 3 as a preference.
Councilor Jackson found her papers from two years ago, which included papers from three years ago, when there was a discussion in regards to the possibility of the advisory team, and sees today's action as putting that goal into action.
Councilor Hartzell does not want the Council to assume that a newly formed team cannot work together. She is supportive of sending out an RFP, but questions the term, "Firm" in option 3. She would prefer that the people responding to the proposal state exactly who is going to be working on this project to assure that we have people with some local specialty.
Councilor Hardesty cautioned the City not to select a firm, just because they work well together. She does not want the City to sacrifice expertise for the sake of finding an existing team.
Councilors Hartzell/Hardesty m/s that the advisory team be made up of the director of Public Works, and two liaisons from the City Council, two representatives from Mt. Ashland Association, two representatives from the environmental community, and a non-voting member from the Forest Service. DISCUSSION: Councilor Jackson stated she would like an amendment to the motion to change "environmental representative" to "community at large representative". Councilor Hartzell stated that the purpose of this is to establish accountability in these decisions, and so the environmentalist group needs to be a part of that. Mayor Morrison stated that anyone who wants to enter into this group and pass Council approval would need to enter into it with a sense of trust and a willingness to work with the other side. Roll Call Vote: Hardesty, Amarotico, Hartzell, Jackson, Silbiger, YES Chapman, NO. Motion passed 5-1.
1. Discussion of City Charter Ballot Timeline.
Moved to the October 3, 2006 Agenda.
2. Contract to Lease the AFN Head End to Provide CATV Service.
Joe Franell gave history on the leasing of the AFN Head End and gave an overview of the RFP process. He clarified that Dan Nelson did not receive any preferential treatment, even though he is a current City of Ashland employee.
Councilor Jackson requested clarification on what channels would be included in the cable service. Mr. Franell stated that the exact channel line up has not yet been contracted, but part of the RFP was a requirement that relevant, local programming, such as RVTV, local stations, local access, etc…, be included.
Councilor Jackson was interested to note that Ashland Home Net will be paying both a monthly fee and a percent of the total income. Mr. Franell clarified that the monthly fee is the rental cost of the equipment and space and the revenue sharing is the City's attempt to share in any success Ashland Home Net may have with this product.
Art Bullock / requested that the letter he previously submitted to the council be included in the council packet. He also stated that the ISPs were given preferential treatment for bidding over those who are not ISPs. He does not believe that the process was open, legal or fair. Also stated that the legal opinion, which was stated to be in the council packet, today, was not included and therefore violates the fairness and openness rules. He asked that we not approve this contract.
Councilor Hartzell stated that we did receive the legal opinion just prior to the council meeting, but it is exempt from disclosure pursuant to ORS 192.502(9) under attorney/client privilege.
Councilor Silbiger pointed out the good effort the City went towards fairly contacting as many people as possible for the bid process.
Councilor Silbiger/Chapman m/s to approve contract with Ashland Home Net. Roll Call Vote: Hardesty, Amarotico, Jackson, Silbiger, Chapman, YES. Hartzell, NO. Motion passed 5-1.
ORDINANCES, RESOLUTIONS AND CONTRACTS
1. Second Reading of an ordinance titled, "An Ordinance Amending the Transient Occupancy Tax and the Food and Beverage Tax Provisions to Permit Fees to be Added if Deliquent Payments are Turned Over to a Collection Agency."
Councilors Jackson/Silbiger m/s to allow Councilor Amarotico to abstain from this vote. Voice Vote: all AYES. Motion passed.
Councilors Jackson/Silbiger m/s to approve Ordinance #2931. Roll Call Vote: Hardesty, Silbiger, Chapman, Hartzell and Jackson, YES. Amarotico, ABSTAIN. Motion passed 5-0-1.
Councilor Hartzel/Hardesty m/s to extend meeting until 10:30 pm. Voice Vote: all AYES. Motion passed.
2. First Reading by title only of an ordinance titled, "An Ordinance Amending the Ashland Municipal Code Relating to Adoption of the 2004 Oregon Fire Code."
Item moved to October 3, 2006 agenda.
OTHER BUSINESS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS
1. Council action on Jackson County proposed Rural Zoning Actions.
Mayor Morrison stated that there is a draft letter in the packet to the County Commissioners. He stated that this letter was prompted by discussions he had with several council members who expressed concern with the County's decision to allow low density, non-urban development on non-resource lands in Jackson County. He felt it was a good idea for the Council to go on record as opposing this decision.
Councilor Jackson encouraged council to approve this letter, and thanked Councilor Silbiger for getting involved and being concerned about agricultural land use. Councilor Hartzell stated that, as we are not able to do the resolution regarding this issue, this is an important letter. Councilor Silbiger wanted to point out that there will be real costs to the City of Ashland, particularly with the additional costs of Fire and Rescue to all these houses. Councilor Jackson stated that, as most of these locations are to the east of Ashland, off HWY 66 and Dead Indian Memorial Road, and so all the extra traffic will be funneled through the southern I-5 interchange.
Art Bullock/ stated he appreciates that this is on the agenda, and reminded us that this is letter is exactly in the spirit of RPS. He also stated that even though this is County land, the costs of this action would fall on the City.
Councilors Chapman/Amarotico m/s to approve the sending of this letter. Voice Vote: all AYES. Motion passed.
Meeting was adjourned at 10:33pm

Wet bulb globe temperature index and performance in competitive distance runners
Med Sci Sports Exerc. 1997 Jul;29(7):955-61. doi: 10.1097/00005768-199707000-00016.

In 1974 two sets of heat stress guidelines, each based on the wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index, were designed for men's National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship Division I distance running competitions. One set of guidelines was established to minimize the chance of heat injury during distance running events. A second set was designed to predict heat stress related performance decrements. During the time the heat injury guidelines were used (1974-1993), no heat injuries were reported. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of the performance decrement guidelines and determine whether the WBGT indices were linearly related to men's championship distance running performance. WBGT index data were collected during the 1500-, 3000-steeplechase (SC), 5000-, and 10,000-m events at men's NCAA Division I Track and Field Championships held from 1974 to 1981 (excluding 1975). These data were compared to the average running performance of the top six finishers in each event. Analysis of the accuracy of the NCAA performance decrement guidelines revealed four unexpected performances out of 28 predictions. Pearson product-moment correlation and linear regression analyses between the WBGT indices and performance revealed statistically significant linear relationships for the 3000-SC and 10,000-m events (P < 0.05). A significant linear relationship was also found when the 1500-, 3000-SC, 5000-, and 10,000-m results were pooled (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the NCAA guidelines were effective in preventing heat injury and fairly successful in predicting performance. However, a linear relationship between WBGT indices and distance running performance did not exist in all running events.

Court Orders New Trial for Johnny Lee Gates
By Clare Gilbert 2019-01-21 2021-05-18 Case Update
I am thrilled to report that a Muscogee County Court recently ordered that our client Johnny Lee Gates is entitled to a new trial! Mr. Gates is a black man who was convicted by an intentionally all-white jury of the 1976 rape, robbery and murder of a white woman in Columbus, Georgia. He has fought to prove his innocence for the entire 42 years he's been in prison (26 of those on death row).
In what the Atlanta Journal-Constitution describes as a "searing decision," Columbus Judge John Allen makes extensive factual findings about the "undeniable," "systematic," and "pervasive" race discrimination that characterized Mr. Gates' trial and several other similar trials from the time period. The Court shows in example after example evidence of the clear intent of prosecuting attorneys to all strike eligible black jurors to ensure that all-white juries would decide the fate of Mr. Gates and several other black defendants facing the death penalty in late the 1970's.
The Court also held that that newly obtained exculpatory DNA results, obtained from the ties used to bind the victim, indicate Mr. Gates did not commit the crime and entitle him to a new trial. Thought to have been long destroyed, Georgia Innocence Project interns found those ties the DA's office in 2015. Judge Allen considered this new, exculpatory DNA evidence in the context of other "material and exculpatory evidence" that the State destroyed very shortly after Mr. Gates' trial (and never presented to his jury).
The decision follows a two-day hearing in Muscogee County on Mr. Gates's Extraordinary Motion for New Trial, litigated by GIP and our co-counsel at the Southern Center for Human Rights.
Despite these clear findings indicating that Johnny Lee Gates never received a fair trial due to systematic race discrimination AND that he did not commit the crime, Muscogee County District Attorney Julia Slater recently told a local newspaper that she would appeal the decision to the Georgia Supreme Court. If she does appeal, that process could take years. GIP and SCHR intend to fight alongside Mr. Gates every step of the way. There undoubtedly will be updates.
For now, we are incredibly grateful for Judge Allen's decision, which validates what Johnny Lee Gates has been saying for decades, and bring him one major step closer to justice.
Click here to see Judge Allen's decision. We've also provided additional background on Mr. Gates' case below.
Background on Mr. Gates' case:
Mr. Gates, a black man, has been in prison for 42 years for the 1976 rape, robbery and murder of a young white woman in Columbus, Georgia. He was convicted and sentenced to death in 1977 by an intentionally all-white jury, after they heard just one day of evidence. But there was significant evidence that the jury never heard. For example,
The jury did not know that officers located Type B blood at the scene near the victim, but that Gates and the victim were Type O.
The jury never heard the supervising detective testify that police escorted Gates through the crime scene on more than one occasion. Instead, the jury only heard the prosecuting attorney argue that police never walked Gates through the crime scene, and thus Gates' familiarity with the scene must mean he committed the crime.
The jury also did not hear that before Gates became a suspect, a white man found fondling the victim's body in the mortuary subsequently confessed to the police that he murdered the victim. Nor did the jury hear that two police detectives had testified under oath that the white man's confession included details that were previously unknown to the police and that closely matched the physical evidence from the crime scene.
Mr. Gates spent his first 26 years in prison on death row. In 2003, he was re-sentenced to life without parole following an intellectual disability hearing, initiated by his attorneys George Kendall, Ron Tabak and Gary Parker. Mr. Gates has always maintained his innocence.
The State destroyed the vast majority of the evidence in the case in 1979, less than two years after Gates' trial and before completion of his direct appeal. The destroyed evidence included the rape kit, Caucasian hairs from the victim's body, the semen stained robe that the victim was wearing when found, and the "material and exculpatory" Type B blood found at the crime scene near the victim.
Notably, the State also documented that in 1979 they destroyed the the ties used to bind the victim. In 2015, GIP interns found those ties in the DA's office. GIP then obtained court-ordered post-conviction DNA testing of the bindings. Those results initially could not be interpreted by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation due to insufficient technology, so GIP worked through a U.S. Department of Justice grant to obtain support and resources for advanced analysis, which ultimately revealed the exculpatory DNA results.
In 2017, SCHR joined the litigation as co-counsel. SCHR recently had won a major U.S. Supreme Court case, Foster v. Chatman, 136 S.Ct. 1737 (2016), wherein the high court found that the jury selection notes of two prosecutors revealed purposeful race discrimination in their use of peremptory strikes during jury selection in the death penalty trial of a black defendant. One of those prosecutors was the very same prosecutor who helped secure the all-white jury, conviction and death sentence in Mr. Gates' trial.
GIP is very grateful to everyone who helped Mr. Gates achieve such an important step in his quest for justice. GIP is particularly indebted to outstanding GIP intern Meagan Hurley, and our SCHR co-counsel Patrick Mulvaney and Katie Moss (thank you also Mark Loudon-Brown and Mary Sinclair). Aimee Maxwell and Christina Cribbs, formerly with GIP, believed in Mr. Gates' innocence, inspired GIP interns Bryan Reines and Catherine O'Neil to search one more time for any physical evidence (they found the ties), and, along with help from William McClintock and Pat Brumbaugh from King and Spalding, secured the DNA testing of the bindings. Thanks also to everyone else along the way who provided suggestions and support, and who took the time to speak with us. You know who you are, and we are deeply grateful.
There will be more updates to come.

June 2019 Update on Joey Watkins Case: Part I
One thought on "Court Orders New Trial for Johnny Lee Gates"
Ramona Strozier says:
This is a awful thing. This case is no different from George Floyd and all the others killed by people that are suppose to stand for justice. It could have been my daughter who was killed, I still would want the right one charged for her murder. Not just anyone to get a conviction or close the case BUT the RIGHT ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR HER DEATH. They have took 43 years of Mr. Gates life and he can't get that back. Plus his love ones have gone because of this injustice. The prosecutors need to be charged for this discrimination once this mess is over! It's clear to me who the guilty ones are,

PetSmart Charities' spay/neuter funding hits $100 million
More than $600,000 has been awarded so far in 2018.
Written by Today's Veterinary Business in February 2018
PetSmart's U.S. and Canadian charitable arms together have awarded $100 million since 1994, including $12 million last year, in support of spay and neuter programs.
Phoenix-based PetSmart Charities announced the $100 million milestone Feb. 8.
"A single spay or neuter procedure can prevent a lifetime of unplanned or accidental litters," said David Haworth, DVM, Ph.D., president of PetSmart Charities. "Dogs can have up to two litters per year, and cats can have even more. So, each surgery has the potential to impact hundreds of lives, improve communities and support the human-animal bond.
"By providing easy access to affordable procedures, local animal welfare organizations are not only investing in their communities, but the welfare of future generations of pets. "
Grants awarded so far in 2018 include:
$450,000 to Colorado State University, which will partner with the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, to provide veterinary access in rural Alaskan communities and give hands-on training to 30 veterinary students.
$100,000 to the Animal Foundation in Las Vegas. The money will help build the organization's new adoption center, a community education wing and an administrative wing.
$37,000 to Friends of the Animal Shelter in Hancock County, Mississippi, to offer free spay and neuter surgeries for dogs and cats.
$34,000 to Animal Outreach in London and Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. The organization will partner with East Village Animal Hospitals to reduce the cost of spay and neuter procedures in low-income communities.

In the podcast, Penelope goes on to talk about her solo musical career and resurrecting the Avengers. She ends with her work at the SF Public Library putting together its punk rock collection.
If you missed Part 1, when Penelope talked about growing up and moving to San Francisco, please go back and listen.
Penelope will be playing a solo show Aug. 30 at the Ivy Room in Albany.
We recorded this podcast in June 2019 in the Rare Books Room at the San Francisco Public Library.


There is commercial pressure from Sony who want us to create a viable business product but we're more after the critical acclaim. I think there's less pressure now because when we were an independent developer we had the pressure of paying the wages every month. Now we don't have to worry about the next game or what we're going to be doing.
That's right, you're doing MotorStorm 2, and we're pretty sure it'll do fairly well. So, yeah, everything's coming up Evolution! About that sequel, which was inspired by Hawaii's beautiful island setting, Hollywood points out that the game has "no hula" and "no Elvis." No Elvis? Wha?! Two words: "Big" and "mistake."


How to check the system of your chakras?
To check the status of your chakras?
Chakras or energy centers in the human body, can be inspiring a map indicating which area of life requires you to work where you move freely and where you feel fulfillment.
dimension of life, so the chakras, the energy channels and the human biofield, make its energy system.
The word chakra comes from Sanskrit and means circle, vortex of energy or drive. The chakras are energy centers, which are located in different places of the physical body of man, and at the level of subtle bodies. Seven major placed in the middle of the backbone, along the spinal cord. Each center is located near the endocrine glands.
The chakras act as transceiver stations. They draw vital energy from the universal energy field around us and convert it to the proper frequency. The state of our chakras has a direct impact on the psychological well-being and physical health. Usually, however, the work of these centers is more or less impaired.
What disturbs the work of the chakras?
Chakras are fragile creatures energy, which reflected all the life experiences related to a sense of strong emotions, particularly their suppression (eg. Not expressed aggression, which the person uses against each other, may be one of the causes of depression, in this case impaired is work most of the chakras). The work centers disrupts negative thinking, self-criticism, stay in toxic relationships, but also electromagnetic smog, chemicals and preservatives contained in food, etc. Disturbances in the chakras manifest as physical illnesses, mental health problems and dissatisfaction with the spheres of life.
Ask yourself where you feel spheres of life satisfaction, fulfillment and joy, and that are challenging for you and far in them harmony and fulfillment. If you want positive changes in the sphere, you can work in two ways: on a psychological level look at the sphere and their beliefs about it (alone or with the help of a specialist to work on changing beliefs, etc), and at the level of energy to work with a particular chakra (alone or specialist) and the whole energy system.
1. Root Chakra – represents the will to live, a sense of security, the amount of vital energy that you have every day, the body's immunity, awareness of your body, contact with nature, ease of making money and take care of the material sphere of life. Does this area feel harmony?
2. Chakra Cross – represents contact with their own emotions and feelings, express them freely, acceptance of their bodies and their sexuality, taking care of health, joy of life, creativity, passion and healthy eating. Does this area feel harmony?
3. Solar Plexus Chakra – represents awareness of self, self-esteem, the limits of physical and mental courage, the ability to act effectively, time management, well-being. Does this area feel harmony?
4. Heart Chakra – represents love and emotional relationships, self-acceptance, altruism, empathy, the ability to forgive, joy of life, sensitivity. Does this area feel harmony?
5. Throat Chakra – represents the communication with others, assertiveness, freedom, self-expression through creative activities and performance on career path. Does this area feel harmony?
6. Third Eye Chakra – representing inner wisdom, intuition, interest in internal development, the need to dive into himself. Does this area feel harmony?

Huawei founder says firm 'more united than ever' as it eyes 6G
Sections By Agency Staff 15 September 2021
Facebook Twitter LinkedIn WhatsApp Telegram Email
Huawei Technologies has gained strength through the years of US sanctions and is ready to pay more for talent, aiming to lead the race in next-generation telecommunications technologies after 5G, founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei said.
In an internal talk last month, Ren dismissed the notion that the US blacklist has defeated the Chinese telecoms giant. "There has been no chaos within the company," the 76-year-old said, according to a transcript of the conversation. "Instead, the company is now more united than ever, and has even attracted more talent."
Still, Huawei's recent financial results show the company is struggling. The Shenzhen-based firm posted a 38% decline in sales in the second quarter, the sharpest revenue drop since Washington cut it off from key chipsets and American technologies from semiconductor design tools to Google's latest Android system for smartphones.
Ren is counting on the research team to help Huawei recover
Huawei clinched a major 5G equipment procurement deal from a top Chinese telecoms operator in July, indicating it has managed to keep the core telecoms gear business running. It also released a marquee smartphone but failed to arm it with 5G capabilities due to lack of chip supply. The company has been trying to find a new source of profit to maintain operations and is seeking to create new businesses in smart mining and electronic vehicles. It also started to request patent royalties from other smartphone makers and sold a smartphone brand, Honor, to a Chinese consortium late last year for an unspecified amount.
6G technology
Ren is counting on the research team to help Huawei recover from what may be the strongest sanctions the US has ever placed on a single company. In the talk, he pledged to hire the best talent around the world with higher pay than that offered by rivals. "Built on this R&D system, we will not only lead the world in 5G, more importantly, we will aim to lead the world in wider domains," he said.
Once an army engineer before creating Huawei, Ren is pointing towards the next generation of wireless technology. The 6G technology, he told his employees, "might be able to detect and sense" beyond higher data transmission capabilities in the current technologies.
"We must not wait until 6G becomes viable, as waiting would impose constraints on us due to a lack of patents," he said. — (c) 2021 Bloomberg LP

This file was transferred to me a few days ago. Looking at it's history, it has not been updated in almost 7 years.
The present file has 22,215 locations and looking at the website locator, it indicates that there are 24,834 locations in the US.
Since the locator only lists 50 locations at a time, this is going to be a very time consuming process.
Any members interested in file maintaining are welcome to 'adopt" any of these files.
I contacted Garmin about a BC 40 connection problem. I got a reply from Eric describing the fix.
The fix worked. Then I contacted Eric about the problem that the BC 40 does not warn you when the batteries needed to be replaced. Here is his response.
I've been using the EPEv6.04 with my Zumo 660 and it works well in putting some custom POIs in my Zumo. Problem is, I would like to have a .gpi file show up in my main Where To with an icon. I read that if you have two .bmps files with the same name as the final .gpi file (but with 1.bmp and 2.bmp) it should be picked up, but I cannot get it to work.
What's the incentive for anyone to update / maintain POI files? Unless you really love doing that sort of thing or need a particular POI.
There should be a list of Disc Golf courses. This site has tons of them.

Park West, UK Case Study
Park West is London`s largest residential building with a massive
basement of several thousand sqm. The asset management hired Cardoe
Martin Burr Limited, which is an independent multi-disciplined practice
providing Building Surveying and Property Consultancy services.
Cardoe Martin contacted us to see if our system could stop the heavy
water ingress in the basement. The asset management wanted to one day
be able to utilize the basement for whatever they decide in the future.
A large amounts of mechanical cracks were found and part of the wall were
right out deteriorated. There were water running out of walls and on the
floor. The asset management wanted a trial installation to see what could
be done and then later decide if they want a full scale installation. It all
depended on if they come to need the basement area in the future.
The location of Park West on Edgware road made it impossible to consider
excavations and repair from outside of the building.
It would also have proven a lot more expensive and not really dealt with the
actual issue of capillary suction through a capillary structure.
The water was coming in from all sides of the basement and this made it difficult to keep water out of the way for our installation. We made a trench to guide the water coming from outside of the trial area, to the other ned of the basement.
This was to ensure that the target area would not be compromised by water coming from elsewhere.
This is how much water ingress this basement had.
The target floor was solid concrete and perfect for the MPS installation and was done in regular maner.
The target wall was heavily deteriorated and water came running down its face.
It was a brick wall, but a waterproofing company some 15 years earlier had tried to cover it with a concrete slab without success.
In our design decisions, we felt we needed to add a 50mm concrete slab on the wall as it was completely deteriorated.
We placed the anode lines in the new slab. We did not repair or inject any of the mechanical cracks behind the new slab.
The asset management signed for a trial installation of 250 sqm.
They had an option of further works if and when they needed to utilize the basement.
To date they have not considered using the basement as it has not been in use for 40 years.
The floor had undergone an ordinary MPS installation and reached 89% RH within 8 weeks.
The wall had a new concrete slab and was dry after the concrete had cured.
Without the MPS system, the concrete slab would have been saturated within 1 week.
The humidity test we did after 3 months showed a relative humidity of 90% in the slab.
We drilled a 18mm hole about 30cm into the wall through the slab and the water flushed several meters into the room.
Thus shows that this building is experiencing massive hydraulic water pressure and the MPS can withstand it hands down.
After 12 months we made another RH test and the wall and floor was still below dry paint requirement of 92%RH, as it still
showed 90%RH. Despite all the cracks behind the new 50mm slab, it showed that such a small concrete membrane with MPS, is
sufficient to stop this high water pressure.
AOP system
Hydrotech the original company terminated in 2011, Triton Norway remains as the authority on AOP as the system was
developed by the Triton Norway team. The latest generation of AOP is now called AOP (Advanced Osmotic Puls). The AOP
System is a revolutionary technology based on an accepted theory of electro osmosis. It gives new life to existing brick, masonry
and concrete structures avoiding expensive reconstruction and has a broad field of application in new concrete structures. The
"state of the art" methods in use in the building industry today can be characterised as temporary solutions to a problem for which
there is no apparent cost effective permanent solution. The AOP System provides a permanent solution. The AOP System is
utilised for transporting water encapsulated within the capillaries out of structures, as well as permanently preventing the
penetration of water into structures. A control unit produces a low voltage electrical charge, which is passed through electrodes in
the form of probes or wires strategically placed within portions of the walls and/or floors which are wet.
Triton Norway is a "green technology" company offering unique solutions that positively impacts the environment by reducing energy consumption and co2 emissions.

We hit a one out of one hit rate – and he hasn't been the only one!
John knew the area applied for was in the field he wanted, but he was unsure about the organisation – but he went for it anyway. During the interview he found out he loved the team he would be going into and they even created a new role, to match his experience.
Don't be afraid of putting your hat in ring if you are interested in the role but there are a few things that are not perfect. As long as you pass the 80:20 test, you can hand-on-heart do 80% of what they are asking, go for it. You never know what might happen.
One of the penny-dropping moments was the shift in focus from John telling his story to thinking "what is it that they want?". He started to think about the problems he could help solve and started framing everything up, including his skills and examples, around this. His CV, cover letter and LinkedIn completely changed as a result of this shift in thinking.
"Practice makes perfect" and when it comes to interviews, it does. But are you practicing the right things? Think about the main questions you will be asked – they will normally be liked to the competencies asked for in the job description. One such question we practiced in Johns role was around culture and application of the Treaty of Waitangi. He nailed it – after practice!
Often change is hard. If we like to add lots of detail, we need to resist the urge. If we don't like promoting ourselves to others, we need to overcome the discomfort. One of my main roles in training and coaching is to "shift peoples thinking" about themselves. We then work on how to communicate this clearly and succinctly. After all, employers are time poor so let's make it easy for them to select you!
I would never try surgery on myself or try to build a house with my DIY skills. It would be a disaster. So why is it so many people slog away, not realizing there are time-effective, simpler ways to streamline their application. Instead of 20 applications make three really-good ones.
So to conclude," doing the same things the same way will achieve the same results". If you are happy with those, go for it. If you want to work with someone who will help you get to the front of the queue – email me grant@sparked.co.nz and let's talk.

Горнорейнската низина (; ) e дълга около 300 km и широка до 40 km низина по средното течение на река Рейн, разположена на територията на югозападната част на Германия, източната част на Франция и крайната северна част на Швейцария.

На север при град Франкфурт е ограничена от Рейнските Шистови планини, на юг при град Базел – от планината Юра, на изток – от масивите Шварцвалд и Оденвалд в Швабско-Франконския басейн, а на запад – от планината Вогези и масива Пфалцка гора. В геоложко отношение низината представлява сложен грабен, запълнен с кайнозойски седименти, а на места в района на град Кайзерщул има изходи и на вулканични скали. Разработват се малки находища на калиеви соли и нефт. Релефа на низината се характеризира с терасираната долина на река Рейн с ширина до 12 km по нейната ос и хълмиста равнина на изток и запад, преминаваща постепенно в подножията на околните планински масиви. Климатът е умерен, с годишна сума на валежите 500 – 700 mm. Основна водна артерия през нея е течащата от юг на север река Рейн, която отляво и отдясно получава множество притоци, течящи през низината със своите долни течения: леви – Ил, Модер, Сор, Лаутер, Шпайер, Изенах, Пфрим; десни – Елц, Канциг, Мург, Пфинц, Некар, Майн. По долината на Рейн се развива интензивно земеделия (зърнени култури, захарно цвекло, лозя овощни градини). В по-високите предпланински райони се срещат малки горички съставени от бор, дъб и кестен. През низината преминават важни автомобилни, железопътни и водни пътища от северните райони на Германия и Нидерландия към южните райони на Германия, Франция, Швейцария и Италия. Цялата низина е гъста заселена, като най-големите градове са: Франкфурт, Страсбург, Базел, Манхайм, Карлсруе, Фрайбург, Лудвигсхафен, Хайделберг, Дармщат.

Chemistry Difference Between
Difference Between Organic And Inorganic Compounds
Types of compounds
Compounds are said to be of two types namely:
The problem arising over years is the definition so as to what is that constituting an organic compound & inorganic compound, that has differed in a significant way.
Organic and inorganic compounds form one of the primary basis for chemistry. The study of organic compounds is termed as organic chemistry and the study of inorganic compounds is inorganic chemistry. These are said to be one of the large class of members. The primary difference that lies between these organic compounds and inorganic compounds is that organic compounds always have a carbon atom while most of the inorganic compounds do not contain the carbon atom in them. Almost all the organic compounds contain the carbon-hydrogen or a simple C-H bond in them.
The most common fact that differentiates organic compounds from inorganic compounds is that the organic compounds mainly result from activities of a living being. Whereas, inorganic compounds are obtained from the natural processes which are not related to any of the life forms on earth or any result of human experiments which are conducted in laboratories.
The difference between organic and inorganic compounds does not end with the presence or the absence of carbon atoms in them. These have characteristics of both the types of compounds which are said to be different.
1. Organic compounds are characterized by the presence of carbon atoms in them Inorganic compounds do not have carbon atoms in them
2. Organic compounds consisting of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and their other derivatives They do not possess hydrogen or oxygen and their derivatives
3. Organic compounds are said to be more volatile and also highly inflammable These compounds are not inflammable and are non-volatile in nature
4. These compounds exist in the form of Solids, gases, and liquids. These exist as solids
5. These are insoluble in water These are soluble in water and also non-soluble in some of the organic solutions.
6. These compounds have the carbon-hydrogen bonds These does not have the carbon-hydrogen bonds
7. Organic compounds are mainly found in most of the living things These compounds are found in non-living things
8. Organic compounds form covalent bonds Inorganic compounds form ionic bonds between the atoms of molecules
9. In most of the aqueous solutions, these are poor conductors of heat and electricity In aqueous solutions, these are known to be good conductors of heat and electricity
10. Examples of organic compounds include fats, nucleic acids, sugars, enzymes, proteins, and hydrocarbon fuels The example for inorganic compounds includes non-metals, salts, metals, acids, bases, substances which are made from single elements
11. These have high melting and boiling points These have low melting and boiling points compared to organic compounds
12 These are biological and more complex in nature These are of mineral and not much complexity in nature
13 Organic compounds cannot make salts Inorganic compounds can make salts
14 The rate of reaction is slow in organic compounds Inorganic compounds have a high rate of reaction

"In good times, sing. In bad times, sing. In the most terrible time of all, yes, then too you must sing."
London, 1950 - on the eve of her retirement, soprano Lucia Percival is star billing at the Royal Albert Hall. Two nights before her performance, a young, ambitious critic requests an interview. But he discovers she has no intention of going onstage...
London, 1917 - A young exile from Jamaica, Lucia Percival is struggling against poverty and racial prejudice to try and make it as a musician. But she carries a heavy secret from her time in a field hospital near the Western Front the year before. When she encounters Lilian, an old woman damaged and haunted by the war, she is drawn into a pact that could destroy everything she has striven for.
From Jamaica to England and France; from the battlefields and the mean streets of Glasgow to black society in London, Lucia's story unfolds to tell a tale of motherhood, music, loss and redemption.

THORPEX (The Observing System Research and Predictability Experiment) est un programme  de l'Organisation météorologique mondiale. Il vise l'étude de l'atmosphère terrestre afin de mieux prédire le temps et amenuiser ses effets sur la population. Ce programme commandite de nombreuses expériences en météorologie dont THORPEX Afrique, PANDOWAE (Predictability and Dynamics of Weather Systems in the Atlantic-European Sector) et THORPEX Interactive Grand Global Ensemble (TIGGE).

Histoire
THORPEX fut lancé en 2003 au  Congrès météorologique mondial, sous la direction de la Commission des sciences atmosphériques de l'OMM, pour une durée initiale de 10 ans, mais il continuait toujours en 2014. Au moment de sa création, il comportait les sous-programmes suivants :
 Influences globales et régionales sur l'évolution et la prévisibilité des systèmes météorologiques ;
 Conception et démonstration d'un système global d'observation ;
 Assimilation des observations dans un modèle de prévision numérique du temps ;
 Avantages sociétaux, économiques et environnementaux des prévisions améliorées.

En , le Plan international de mise en œuvre du programme de recherche THORPEX fut publié. Ce plan proposait la création d'un Grand modèle d'ensemble global et interactif THORPEX (TIGGE), un système de prévision d'ensembles, et le Système de Prévision Interactif Global (GIFS).

Au début de , le premier atelier consacré à TIGGE eut lieu. Le rapport final de l'atelier établit un plan pour la mise en place du groupe de travail THORPEX TIGGE-GIFS le plus tôt possible et pour la mise en place de l'infrastructure pour TIGGE au cours des années suivantes, afin de contribuer au projet de soutien THORPEX en temps réel dans le cadre de l'Année polaire internationale de 2007-2008, ainsi que le projet de recherche et de développement de la prévision pour les Jeux olympiques de Pékin de 2008.

TIGGE continua son développement opérationnel au cours des années suivantes et ses données furent utilisées dans de nombreux articles sur la météorologie. Une revue de 2010 par Bougeault et al. examina les travaux antérieurs et les plans futurs de TIGGE et conclut : « Nous sommes convaincus que les bases de données TIGGE constitueront une ressource clé pour atteindre l'objectif de THORPEX, soit l'accélération de l'évolution de la prévision des conditions météorologiques du temps significatif jusqu'à 2 semaines à l'avance, grâce à une solide combinaison de recherches sur les bases scientifiques de la prévision d'ensemble, l'expérimentation de nouveaux produits et l'élaboration de nouveaux protocoles et politiques d'échange de données entre les États membres de l'OMM et entre les milieux scientifique et applicatif ».

Un autre document de 2010 a fourni un calendrier pour la période de 2008 à 2012 comme phase de développement du Système mondial de prévisions interactives (GIFS) et 2012 comme période de mise en œuvre. En , le TIGGE-LAM (modèle à haute résolution) fut lancé pour améliorer les prévisions régionales d'ensembles.

Is your understanding that Rachel and Lavan were both Jewish? Would these same sources apply to a Jewish person who is trying to prevent a non-Jew from worshiping idols (transgressing one of the 7 mitzvos B'nei Noach)?
Thanks of asking. Neither of them was Jewish, but the goal of the play is really to look at coercion as a concept, abstracted from the particular halachos related to Rachel and Lavan.
Are you saying that no one could be Jewish before Matan Torah? If not, then what?
Correct; as I understand it, the Jewish nation is initiated with the national acceptance of the Torah at Sinai. Until then, mitzvah observance is personal.
Thanks, but I don't think Nuzi says that; Nuzi simply describes a father distributing his assets, and saying that the idols will go to a particular family member...?

Brave gained 8.7 million new users in 12 months
Paul Hill Neowin · Nov 2, 2020 15:44 EST with 34 comments
The privacy-oriented web browser, Brave, has reported that it increased its monthly active users by 8.7 million compared to this time last year bringing the total count above 20 million. Brave also said that 7 million people are active on Brave every single day, up from 3 million last year. Both monthly active users and daily active users increased by 2.3 times over the last 12 months.
Commenting on the browser's growth, Brendan Eich, CEO and co-founder of Brave, said:
"Users are fed up with surveillance capitalism, and 20 million people have switched to Brave for an entirely new Web ecosystem with an opt-in ad economy that puts them back in control of their browsing experience. The global privacy movement is gaining traction, and this milestone is just one more step in our journey to make privacy-by-default a standard for all Web users."
Aside from its user growth, the firm also shared that there are nearly one million verified creators and publishers. Last year there were 300,000 and now there are 972,000; this represents an increase of 3.2 times. Publishers and content creators are able to receive BAT tokens from users who have chosen to send them.
The Brave browser is just one of many browsers to jump on the privacy bandwagon that was largely initiated around 2013 when Edward Snowden revealed just how much surveillance was going on. Privacy in the web browser sphere, however, is a lot less focused on government surveillance and cares more about ad tracking that profiles users who browse websites.
