De 15e (Schotse) Infanteriedivisie (Engels: 15th (Scottish) Infantry Division) was een divisie van de British Army die zowel in de Eerste Wereldoorlog als de Tweede Wereldoorlog vocht.

Eerste Wereldoorlog
De divisie werd in september 1914 gevormd en maakte deel uit van de K2 Legergroep. In juli 1915 vertrok de divisie naar Frankrijk en vocht daar gedurende gehele Eerste Wereldoorlog aan het Westfront. De divisie vocht tijdens de oorlog in de Slag om Loos, de Slag aan de Somme en de Derde Slag om Ieper.

Tweede Wereldoorlog
De divisie werd tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog heropgericht en was een duplicaat van de Britse 52e (Laagland) Divisie. Het maakte deel uit van het 8e Legerkorps. De 15e (Schotse) Infanteriedivisie was tot juni 1944 gestationeerd in Groot-Brittannië.

De 15e (Schotse) Infanteriedivisie nam deel aan Operatie Epsom, Operatie Jupiter en Operatie Bluecoat. Tijdens Operatie Epsom veroverde de divisie een brug over de rivier de Odon.  De opmars van de divisie verliep daarna via Frankrijk, België, Nederland (Operatie Nutcracker) naar Duitsland. Hierbij werden de rivieren Seine, Maas, Rijn en Elbe overgestoken. De divisie bevrijdde in Nederland onder andere de plaatsen Best, Blerick en Tilburg.

Op 10 april 1946 werd de divisie uiteindelijk ontbonden. De totale aantal doden, gewonden en vermisten tijdens het 12 maanden van gevechten bedraagt 11.772.

Jan 11, 2021 | Theater
By Carole Di Tosti – – –
(Photo Maria Baranova)- – –
The Public Theater's Under the Radar Festival 2021 launched on Wednesday, 6 January 2021 with a full line-up of unique, innovative online productions that promise to be just marvelous. One show which is representative of such a great Under the Radar Festival production is Disclaimer.
Disclaimer is performed and written by Tara Ahmadinejad. Created by Piehole, directed by Jeff Wood and Tara Ahmadinejad, production designer Alexandra Panzer, video design by Stefania Bulbarella, sound design by Ben Vigus, lighting design by Reza Behjat and video associate/programmer is Alessandra Cronin.
The show is a wacky, studied, ingenious dramatic hybrid. Difficult to "pin down" as a particular genre because of its maverick employment of the audience, though it is largely a solo performance by Ahmadinejad, this surprising and beautiful work is about family, cultural isolation, cultural integration, need for community and the necessity to break the shibboleths which manifest in xenophobic stereotypes of "the other."
Reflecting the well-spring of life in her show, Ahmadinejad taps into a fountain of emotions. She siphons off elements of the comical, mysterious, joyful, sad, and poignant with a rich, sense of what is vitally important to all of us, our core humanity in family relationships and bonds. Disclaimer is predominately a solo show with exceptional technical values and direction by Jeff Wood.
It employs the delightful and clever use of audience members interactively to engage in the family story of Chef Nargis. Ahmadinejad organically unravels the story as Chef Nargis conducts a cooking class with Sous Chef Hassan in which the audience may participate, have a drink and a snack, as they learn how to make the Persian rice dish Sabzi Polo as the Chef shows them in "Chef Nargis' Kitchen."
(Photo Ben Smith)
Chef Nargis (Ahmadinejad) is humorous as she gathers her ingredients and informs us over Zoom with the help of Sous Chef Hassan how to wash the Basmati rice again and again until the cloudiness of the water is removed, so the rice can soak overnight in clear water. However, Chef Nargis discovers she missed an important step. The rice she intended to cook with, did not soak overnight. In other words, the Chef has completely blown-up the cooking lesson, because she has not prepared a batch of soaked, uncooked rice for her demonstration. How Chef Nargis gets around this involves the first twist in her plot, the introduction of a family member who helps.
Amidst this initial preparation of herbs and rice, we learn that Chef Nargis has identity issues as a Persian in America which she confides to us, whispering to her Zoom screen to elicit our friendship and confidence. Chef Nargis reminds us Persia is the Biblically ancient culture and land of modern-day Iran with which we are currently in a terrible situation. Digging deeply into the politics considering our government for the past four years, the U.S. has made conditions dire for Iranians with an undeclared "war." Chef Nargis repeats the word again and again humorously as she tries to figure out what "war" means and forces us to consider.
At that juncture, she prepares us so that we can stand in Chef Nargis' shoes to empathize with her as an Iranian-American of dual identities. She speaks in unaccented English and looks like any assimilated American woman, but her hidden identity holds all its attendant cultural differences of food, dress, values, opinions, attitudes and Muslim religion. And yet, she lives in America and attempts to grapple with cultural and political "issues," dualities of identity and negative actions (Muslim travel bans) concerning what it is like to be Iranian in the U.S.
At this point all the tension of a possible "war in Iran" and ideas of "Muslim terror" dissipate, and we fall in love with this sweet, honest, earnest woman. Seeing her humanity, we feel guilty that the U.S. is behaving lousy to Iranians, sanctioning their food and supplies, devaluing their currency and threatening a war. The discriminatory worm has turned.
How Ahmadinejad has brought us to leap past Iranian stereotypes is a complex mixture of reverse psychology, good will, food as a universal language, and superb acting, production values and humor in addition to well-honed, brilliant writing, creative teamwork and directing.
As the cooking lesson has been thrown for a loop, Ahmadinejad's Chef Nargis is saved by her mother (played by an accented Ahmadinejad with motherly demeanor) who already made the rice. The Chef introduces us to her family (audience members) for the eventual dinner while Sous Chef Hassan reacts with silent hospitality, adding any directives we need to understand about ingredients, discounts, family names etc., in the chat area of Zoom.
One half hour may have passed in this set up, but it seems like five minutes. And what happens after we join the Chef's family for a pleasant repast of rice, drinks and dancing turns into a murder mystery which is another surprise that has a resolution in what is real. The evening has been fun, wacky, enlightening, endearing and a lesson not in cooking but of love and diplomacy.
How incredible, how magical this production is. I didn't want to leave the other audience members (Chef Nargis' family) Chef Nargis and amiable Sous Chef Hassan, all of whom created a community of family and warmth. I have been opaque in my review because I don't want to give away the twists, surprises and conclusion. Suffice to say Disclaimer is awesome. Kudos to all involved.
You can join in learning Chef Nargis' story in Disclaimer by making reservations at the Under the Radar Festival website here: https://publictheater.org/calendar/ You'll be thrilled you did. Runs January 7- 11 and January 14-17.

Dogs have a drive to please us. They want to work with us, and they want a relationship with us.
I want to help you have the best relationship possible with your dog, and to do this we utilize positive methods of training, as well as the setting of appropriate boundaries.
Homework is a vital part of our training together - you can't expect to show up to class once a week and not do any work at home and come away with a well trained dog. You will need a minimum 30 minutes per day to dedicate to training, and each new week's homework builds upon the previous. Part of this homework will be grooming and other health and safety related care for your dog.
I am a graduate of Animal Behavior College, from both their Master Obedience Trainer, and Master Groomer programs. I offer - on a limited basis - both grooming and training services, as well as dog walking, and house and farm sitting services.
Prices based on breed, coat type, size, and style of groom. Quotes will not be given via email or over the phone without first viewing the dog to be groomed. Initial consultation is free.
In order for your dog to be groomed or attend classes they must be up to date on vaccines, or have a recent titer done (within 6 months) showing apropriate immunity (Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo). This information MUST be presented prior to the start of the first class or appointment.
Group classes are a maximum of 5 dogs. Classes run rain or shine, but will be postponed for thundershowers. Classes postponed will be rescheduled within five business days at the instructor's convenience.
Children under the age of 14 are welcome but MUST be acompanied by a non-participating adult at all times. Children are to remain seated and quiet; if the child becomes a distraction they will be asked to leave. This is to ensure the safety of both the child and the dogs, as not all dogs are child-friendly.
Private training sessions are sold as a package and must be paid in full prior to first session. All remaining sessions must be booked within 6 weeks; 4 weeks is the recommended timeline.
All training classes require a martingale collar or Gentle Leader head collar, 6-foot leash, and treats.

"Our customers throughout the Central Coast won't have to drive several hours to catch a flight from other Bay Area airports. They can stay close to home and fly directly to Seattle, and connect with all the possibilities at our hometown hub." Alaska remains committed to offering the most nonstop flights from Sea-Tac, with Monterey becoming the 92nd nonstop destination this summer.

Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have developed two inexpensive adapters that enable a smartphone to capture high-quality images of the front and back of the eye. The adapters make it easy for anyone with minimal training to take a picture of the eye and share it securely with other health practitioners or store it in the patient�s electronic record.
�Think Instagram for the eye,� said one of the developers, assistant professor of ophthalmology Robert Chang, MD.
The researchers see this technology as an opportunity to increase access to eye-care services as well as to improve the ability to advise on patient care remotely.
Ophthalmology resident David Myung, MD, PhD, lead author of two papers describing the development and clinical experience with the devices, began the project with Chang about two years ago, just before Myung began his residency at Stanford. The papers were published online March 7 in the Journal of Mobile Technology in Medicine.
The standard equipment used to photograph the eye is expensive � costing up to tens of thousands of dollars � and requires extensive training to use properly. Primary care physicians and emergency department staff often lack this equipment, and although it is readily available in ophthalmologists� offices, it is sparse in rural areas throughout the world.

Chatting with my neighbour at interval during Bel a Cappella's Beatus concert, I agreed with her comment that she knew each of the composers represented, but with one exception – not the particular works sung – and what a joy it was to expand one's experience of these composers.
Christ Church St Laurence in Sydney provided a superb environment for the concert, although the late start because of a double booking didn't meet with favour from many in the audience. But musical director Anthony Pasquill's genial and amusing patter smoothed over ruffled tempers and eased the large audience into an engaging and involving performance.
Arvo Part's The Beatitudes opened proceedings; in just five exquisite minutes the music traverses many moods. The atmosphere of stillness at the start soon contrasts with telling crescendos. The central section, Blessed are the Peacemakers, is a real feature of the piece and the following lines are loud and emphatic, while still projecting a great beauty. All is brought to a close with a thrilling Amen passage.
James Macmillan's contemporary choral works are a staple feature of many choirs' repertoire and always repay repeat listening. Factus est Repente, an early motet from his collection The Strathclyde Motets, has a commanding beginning. It surges, swoops and soars like the mighty wind of which it speaks, leading to the surprisingly subdued Alleluia that ends the piece.
Estonia has a great tradition of choral singing and produces a wealth of composers ready and willing to contribute to the repertoire. Urmas Sisask, the youngest composer represented in this concert, has produced a collection of twenty-four sacred songs, Gloria Patri, from which five were chosen for the performance. Together they formed a fascinating selection, ranging from the bold and majestic Surrexit Christus to the quieter and lyrical Omnis Una, Gaudeamus and the light-on-its-feet Benedicamus Patrem that forms the centerpiece of the five. The slow and quiet Oremus with its challenging pitch requirements, showcased the choir's commitment and discipline to the full, while the final Confitemini Domino focused attention on short passages for individual voices, supported by a cushion of chant-like sound from the full choral forces. I marked the second and last of the five songs in the selection to follow up in future, as I found them especially compelling listening.
John Tavener's Mother and Child, believed to be receiving its Australian première performance, rounded out the first half of the program. It had a tender, almost hypnotic quality at times, so characteristic of Tavener, and then burst into a blaze of ecstasy, with organ and gong triumphantly underpinning sturdy blocks of sound from the choir.
The second half of the program featured longer-form works, with just two pieces – but what gems they were! Poulenc's Litanie a la Vierge Noire featured the women's voices in three parts, accompanied by the organ, sometimes in joyfully raucous dissonance and at other times echoing and emphasising the lyrical passages from the women. By the time of the Lamb of God prayers, Poulenc has choir and organ agreed on a quiet and contemplative finish, with all dissonance banished.
Another French composer, Jean Langlais, brought the concert to a resounding close. His Messe Solennelle, a work from 1951, made for a most satisfying finale. An attention-grabbing opening statement from David Drury on the organ was followed by solid blocks of choral sounds, with some soaring lines emerging from the texture. The Gloria featured solo male voices in chant-like mode, then a weaving of male and female voices in beautifully executed lyrical passages. A quick canter through the Laudamus and Domine Deus followed, before the very effective unison-like Quoniam. In the Sanctus both the music and the faces of the singers radiated joy, with superb rendering of the emphatic and jubilant Hosanna which ends this movement. The serenity of the Benedictus was swiftly followed by organ and choir erupting for its Hosanna, magnificent but too soon over. The start of the Agnus Dei brought a quiet and focused mood, conveying a sense almost of private prayer rather than public worship, then the work is ends with a final grand statement from choir and organ.
This was a richly rewarding concert, for connoisseurs and inexperienced alike.
Boy did the Brandenburgs sing Mozart's Requiem!

Biography of Dr. Blair Hagerty
HON. BLAIR HAGERTY, M. D.
Among those who devote their time and attention to the practice of medicine and surgery in Williams county, and have gained a leading place in the ranks of their profession, is Doctor Hagerty. of Montpelier.
A native of Williams county, he was borne in Bridgewater township, December 14, 1840, a son of Blair and Rebecca (Goodrich) Hagerty, natives of Washington county. Pennsylvania. In 1807 his paternal grandparents came to this country from Ireland, locating in Pennsylvania, on the Susquehanna river. During the Indian troubles, while their son, Blair, Sr., was quite small, they were obliged to leave their home and seek a place of safety. In order to reach the blockhouse erected for the protection of the settlers in that region, they had to cross the river where it was over a mile in width. On horseback they swam across. the mother carrying her child in her arms and the father leading her horse by a long rope. After a hard struggle they reached the opposite bank in safety, and finally arrived at the primitive fort. Throughout life they remained residents of Washington county, Pennsylvania, where the grandfather engaged in the distilling business.
In 1844 Blair Hagerty, Sr., brought his family to Bridgewater township. Williams county, Ohio. where he improved a farm in the midst of the forest, and here spent his remaining days. dying at the age of eighty four years, his wife in the spring of 1897. at the age of eighty one. Both were faithful members of the. Church of Christ, and had the respect and esteem of all who knew them. Their children were: Joseph L., a practicing physician of Topeka, Kansas; James R., a jeweler (now deceased); Blair; Spencer, a real estate dealer; Almyra; Elizabeth and Rhoda.
In the public schools near his childhood home, Doctor Hagerty commenced his education, and later attended college at Hillsdale for one term, after which he began reading medicine while clerking in a store at that place. In 1861 he made a visit to Chicago, where he enlisted for three years in Company F, Forty Second Illinois Volunteer Infantry, which was assigned to the Western Department, Army of Missouri, but was later transferred to the Army of the Tennessee. After one year spent in the ranks, the Doctor was made hospital steward, by General Rosecrans, and soon afterward was promoted to assistant surgeon, having full charge of a hospital, where he remained until the expiration of his term of service in 1864. Going to Louisville, Kentucky, he was honorably discharged and returned to his home in Williams county. Here he commenced the practice of his chosen profession, subsequently attended medical lectures in Detroit, Michigan, and in 187o graduated at Bennett Medical College, Chicago, also at the Eye and Ear College of that city. He has neglected no opportunity to advance himself in his chosen calling, keeps abreast with the latest discoveries in the science, and is acknowledged to be one of the most skillful surgeons and successful physicians of Williams county. Since 1873 his office has been in Montpelier, but his practice is not confined to the city, it extending over a large section of the surrounding country.
Politically, Doctor Hagerty is an uncompromising Democrat, taking an active and prominent part in public affairs. He is a recognized leader of the party in his community, is one of its most influential workers, and has often led the hosts to victory in Williams county. In the General Assembly of Ohio, he represented his district in 1869-70, was a member of several important committees, and served with distinction and to the entire satisfaction of his constituents. Subsequently he was the Democratic candidate for State senator, but was unable to overcome the large Republican majority. Socially. he is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.


Our prayer is that On Retreat will help you break from habituated patterns of mind and frantic activity, make more space for God, and step into a new way of seeing, believing, and abiding. Each retreat will focus on a healthy body, a serene mind, and a powerful spirit. Your devoted guide will be modern day Christian mystic, Betty Skinner.
This is Truth. The Holy Spirit of Christ actually lives inside our mortal body right now. His heart is our heart and His mind is our mind. This is our hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27) But this astounding truth has been buried behind a dark wall of illusory self-protection forced on us by trauma and voices of fear. Our calling in this life is to rediscover the Truth of Whose and who we are, resist those voices, and reclaim the power and sanctity of our Christ hearts and minds. As the Apostle Paul exhorts us, take those negative thoughts captive and dwell on whatever is pure and lovely.
At last, the messenger becomes the message. I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. (Galatians 2:20) We finally see that everything in our lives—all of the pain and all of the beauty—has been woven together into the huge tapestry of divine love. The will is disciplined, the old voices are quieted, the heart is surrendered, and we hear only the voice of the Beloved saying, 'I love you, I love you; I have loved you since the beginning of time. I will not abandon you.

Fitz on Fantasy: 2019 Detroit Lions Buying Guide
With the preseason here, TFG fantasy expert Pat Fitzmaurice is breaking down the prospects for all 32 teams. Click here for a running list of teams, and check back often as teams are added on an almost daily basis. On to the Detroit Lions…
After the Lions sent Jim Bob Cooter back to Hazzard County and named Darrell Bevell as their new offensive coordinator, Bevell laid out the four core principles of his offense at a press conference:
1. Protect the ball.
2. "We'll always be about running the football."
3. Be "tough," "hard-nosed" and "exert our will." (If your eyes just rolled back in your head, you're not alone; that's the Holy Trinity of football coach clichés.)
4. Get big plays in the passing game.
In 1993, Bevell quarterbacked a ground-and-pound Wisconsin team to its first Rose Bowl victory since the '60s, and he's been a devotee of the running game ever since. Bevell's offenses have finished top-three in rushing attempts in five of his 12 seasons as a play-caller. During Bevell's seven-year tenure in Seattle, Marshawn Lynch had 280 or more carries in four straight seasons. In Minnesota, Bevell presided over 363-carry and 314-carry seasons by Adrian Peterson, and a 303-carry season by Chester Taylor.
Bottom line: Kerryon Johnson is going to eat.
It's possible that a year from now we'll be talking about Johnson as an early first-round pick. He was on pace for nearly 1,400 yards from scrimmage as a rookie before spraining his knee in his 10th game and missing the rest of the season. Johnson passed the eye test with flying colors and averaged 5.4 yards per carry, which was actually 0.5 yards better than his best per-carry average at Auburn.
Lions GM Bob Quinn has been dutifully fortifying Detroit's offensive line. He took Taylor Decker in the first round of the 2016 draft and added Graham Glasnow two rounds later. Quinn took mauler Frank Ragnow in the first round of the 2018 draft. And in the first round of this year's draft, Quinn added another player who can help open holes in the running game. (We'll get to him in a minute.)
Enthusiasm for Johnson wasn't totally unanimous this offseason, but after the Lions unloaded longtime passing-down RB Theo Riddick, a lot of the Kerryon fence-sitters got on the bandwagon. Johnson had already proven himself a capable pass catcher both at Auburn and as a rookie. He was on pace for 51 catches last year before the injury. With Riddick gone, Johnson is probably going to inherit a few extra targets in obvious passing situations. If his role in the passing game does indeed expand, and if the Lions are as run-heavy as anticipated, Johnson could have one of the biggest touch totals among all NFL running backs.
With the attractive workload/talent combo, Johnson warrants consideration in the second round of 12-team drafts. I'd consider taking him as early as 19th or 20th overall.
C.J. Anderson was an unlikely hero for the Rams last year on their drive to the NFC Championship. Signed off the street a little over a month after the Panthers released him, Anderson helped pick up the slack at the onset of Todd Gurley's mysterious knee ailment. Anderson appeared to have eaten well during his brief hiatus from football, but the added girth didn't appear to slow him down. Anderson topped 100 yards and scored a touchdown in each of the Rams' last two regular-season games, then ran for 123 yards and two TDs in a win over Dallas in the divisional round of the playoffs. He wasn't as effective in the NFC Championship Game or the Super Bowl, with 23 carries for 66 yards in those two games.
Anderson doesn't really have stand-alone fantasy value since he's a clear backup to Johnson and won't catch many passes, but Johnson owners will probably want to secure Anderson's services as a handcuff sometime during the second half of the season.
Matthew Stafford was one of the NFL's most prolific chuckers for a long time. He led the league in pass attempts in 2011 and 2012, was top-five in 2013 and 2014, and was top-10 in 2015 and 2016. He finished 11th last year. It's probably safe to say that if Stafford finishes among the leaders in pass attempts in 2019, things will have gone badly off-script for Bevell and the Lions.
If you're inclined to believe Bevell when he says he'd dedicated to the running game, you'll probably have trouble ginning up enthusiasm for Stafford's fantasy outlook. He finished QB19 in fantasy scoring last year with the Lions ranking 14th in passing play percentage. If Detroit finishes in the bottom 10 in passing play percentage – a distinct possibility – Stafford probably won't be a top-20 fantasy quarterback.
I have Stafford ranked QB26 and have no interest in him in single-QB leagues. In 2QB and superflex leagues, I'd be willing to roster him as my second quarterback if I skimped on the position in order to load up elsewhere.
Kenny Golladay is one of my favorite young receivers, and I have a ton of shares of him – probably too many. I took Kenny G. in damn near every best-ball draft I entered before Bevell's hiring, then took him in a couple more best-balls after that because I couldn't break the habit.
Golladay had 70 catches for 1,063 yards and five TDs last year, finishing WR20 in fantasy scoring. He ranked 14th in receiving yards, 16th in targets and 17th in air yards. It was a heady performance for a second-year player, but I'm worried that those numbers might slip a bit. Marvin Jones missed seven games last year. If Jones stays healthy and the Lions run more, Golladay could take a slight haircut in target volume.
After being such an avid Golladay buyer earlier, I now have him ranked WR20, which is below both his average draft position and expert consensus ranking. I'm still interested in him, but I'm not getting out over my skis anymore.
There are some sharp fantasy analysts who think the ADP gap between Golladay and Jones is far too wide. Golladay's ADP is WR18; Jones' is WR38. Jones is a talented receiver, no question. Just ask stud Vikings CB Xavier Rhodes, who was lit up for 9-109-2 by Jones two Thanksgivings ago. I think the ADP gap between the two Detroit receivers might be a smidge too wide, but I do believe Golladay has the superior fantasy profile as the still-ascending talent. Jones is 29 and required offseason surgery, which may partly explain the somewhat depressed ADP. Still, he's a solid value at that price.
The third receiver is 33-year-old slot man Danny Amendola, who's never had more than 689 yards or four TD catches in a season over his 10-year career. He's only draftable in deep PPR leagues, and maybe not even then.
"I saw rock and roll future and its name is Bruce Springsteen." – Jon Landau
I've always loved that quote even though I'm not a big Springsteen fan. So let me co-opt it for a moment:
I saw TE future and its name is T.J. Hockenson.
Rookie tight ends are generally sucker plays. They are the fermented herring placed inside a steel animal trap – only a hungry creature without the human capacity for logic would take the bait and disregard the ominous-looking contraption around it. O.J. Howard and David Njoku were outstanding TE prospects two years ago, but the smart move was to avoid them in redraft leagues in their rookie seasons.
Hockenson is the rare exception; I'm looking to get him in as many drafts as I can. The eighth overall pick in this year's draft, Hockenson was an absolute marvel at Iowa last season. He's the best blocking tight end to enter the league in years, and last fall he became an impact pass catcher who beat coverage in every which way. The superior blocking ability would seem superfluous for fantasy football except for this: It's going to keep Hockenson on the field at all times. I think he'll quickly become an impact pass catcher at the NFL level because he's athletic, he's savvy as hell about getting open, and he's a beast with the ball in his hands.
If I can't sell you on Hockenson in this limited space, let me turn you over to a far more articulate salesman, Rotoworld draft analyst Thor Nystrom (@thorku), who wrote this paean to Hock's talents before the draft.
It would be absurd to call Hockenson a "league winner" (good lord do I hate that term), or assert that he can be a top-five fantasy TE in Year One. But I do think he has a good chance to produce within the TE1 range. People might scoff that I have a rookie ranked ahead of, say, Jordan Reed. But Reed is smaller, less athletic, gets hurt all the time and hasn't given us useful fantasy numbers since 2016. I'd much rather have Hockenson a couple of rounds later.

The cubic meters per hour (CMH) of a heat exchanger describes the flow rate of its refrigerant through the system. The exchanger's British Thermal Units (BTUs) describe the amount of energy that it transfers. It moves this energy by pumping the fluid, so these two values are directly proportional. The other factors affecting the amount of heat that the unit moves are the fluid's temperature drop while moving through the exchanger and the length of time during which the exchanger runs.
Multiply the flow rate, measured in cubic meters per hour, by 4.4 to convert it to gallons per minute. For example, if 100 m^3 of fluid go through the exchanger each hour: 100 × 4.4 = 440.
Multiply this flow rate by the refrigerant's temperature rise. For example, if fluid enters the exchanger at 59 degrees Fahrenheit and rises to 72 degrees Fahrenheit: 440 × (72 - 59) = 5,720.
Multiply this result by 500, a conversion factor that takes the fluid's heat absorption rate into account: 5,720 × 500 = 2,860,000. This is the unit's energy transfer rate, measured in BTUs per hour.
Multiply this rate by the number of hours for which the appliance runs. For example, if you are calculating the heat transferred over the course of half an hour: 2,860,000 × 0.5 = 1,430,000. This is the number of BTUs that the heat exchanger moves.

There are many other non-profit organizations funding various aspects related to Alzheimer's disease and other dementias such as prevention, caregiver support, drug treatments, and education. We, on the other hand, have one single goal and that is to eradicate Alzheimer's disease by finding a cure. That's it.
For every grant we make to other organizations, research towards finding the root causes and a cure for Alzheimer's is our single purpose. By focusing on just one goal, everything we and our partners do must make progress towards reaching that goal.
Jointly Determine Milestones for Achievement.
Working together with organizations such as University of Florida Health and McKnight Brain Institute, we determine the appropriate milestones for funding our shared goal.
In partnership with our grantees, we share information to advance our goal. We seek to understand whether joint efforts have resulted in positive change for those affected by Alzheimer's-whether a patient, caregiver, or friend/family member-and develop ever higher milestones to continue advancing our primary goal. And, we encourage information sharing for any other partners to keep the focus on reaching our goal to find a cure.
By measuring inputs, activities, and outputs of our own work and that of our partner organizations, we hold ourselves and our partners accountable for finding a cure for Alzheimer's. We push-hard-to make sure we're all doing the best we can to make progress every day.
We use formal evaluations to collect evidence that progress is being made. We help guide our investments towards research with the most potential for a cure. And we make adjustments to programs with less than satisfactory results.
Measure Progress to Stay on Track.
One day we will find a cure and therefore no longer be necessary. Until that day, we will do everything we can to raise funds and provide them to those dedicated to the necessary research to find a cure.

NM ethics agency sues advocacy group - Albuquerque Journal
NM ethics agency sues advocacy group
By Dan McKay / Journal Staff Writer
Published: Tuesday, November 15th, 2022 at 11:00PM
Updated: Wednesday, November 16th, 2022 at 12:05AM
SANTA FE – The State Ethics Commission has filed a lawsuit accusing an advocacy group of trying to conceal its role in advertisements supporting the early childhood ballot measure and other violations of New Mexico's campaign law.
The nine-page suit, filed this month in the state's 5th Judicial District Court, seeks a civil penalty of up to $20,000 against the Working Families Organization, doing business as Unemployed Workers United.
The ethics commission alleges Working Families – at a cost of at least $9,000 – sent text messages to independent and Democratic voters ahead of the general election touting the benefits of a constitutional amendment that would generate more funding for early childhood education and public schools.
But Working Families did not disclose that it paid for the messages, the lawsuit said, suggesting instead that the group "Unemployed Workers United" paid for them.
Furthermore, the lawsuit said, the Working Families Organization did not register with the Secretary of State's Office as a political committee nor file reports disclosing its spending on the ads or the contributions it accepted to cover the cost.
In a written statement, Neidi Dominguez, executive director of Unemployed Workers United, said the group looked forward to resolving the dispute.
"We believe deeply in transparency as a principle for a strong democracy, and in our work," Dominguez said.
She added that Unemployed Workers United – which she described as a project of the Working Families Organization – is proud of its work supporting the ballot measure.
The text messages at issue sought support for Constitutional Amendment 1 on the general election ballot. It passed with 70% of the vote.
Congressional approval is also required before the amendment takes effect.
Once it's final, the measure will boost annual withdrawals from the state's largest permanent fund – an endowment of sorts – from 5% to 6.25%.
It's expected to generate another $140 million for early childhood education in the fiscal year that starts next summer and an extra $90 million for public schools.
The State Ethics Commission lawsuit does not address the merits of the amendment itself. But it seeks a court decision affirming that Working Families Organization should report its spending on the ads and disclose the donors who helped pay for them. The suit also seeks civil penalties up to $20,000.
Working Families, the commission said in its suit, "has refused to inform New Mexicans of basic facts regarding who ultimately funded the election-related advertisements that it purchased."

About Herd of Mers
"Abstract enough to allow for one's own conclusions, but drawn familiar enough to be easily recognized."
--Daphne Dakota
it's Twilight Time
"...Karen sounds a little like Tanya Donelly or Kim Deal and there's a sort of unplugged Pixies or even Nirvana sound going on here, albeit with Karen rather than a rough-looking bloke singing...The song Single Hour is another sweet moment worth four minutes and six seconds of anyone's time. Listen to it while you boil an egg sometime.."
--John Gimblett, Stride Magazine
"If there was any justice in this world this band would already be indie darlings..."
-- Don Campo, No Pigionholes
"...simple sounds that give out complex results. Think a stripped down King Crimson fronted by Patti Smith for the foundation of this music."
--John Fuchs, Prognaut
"...highly organic, artistic, unusual, and strangely beckoning."
--Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover
"...eight tracks of avant pop movements that really do not follow any traditional rules we are used to..."
--John Siwicki, Comfort Comes
"Karen's voice lingers sweetly and most meaningfully on quieter tunes like "Single Hour" and "Midge." It reverberates more fully on "Walls," which has a psychedelic, post Velvet Underground feel..."
--Bob Gulla, The Providence Phoenix
"Herd of Mers is one duo not trying to sound bigger or into drawing attention to themselves for being a cool duo. But they are..."
--Mike Wood, Music Emmisions
"Fold", my favorite track, somehow brings to mind visions of hobbits & goblins dancin' 'round the pillars of StoneHenge... may not be what they intended, but that's what I see/hear... excellent little tune...this is THE ticket... gets a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from these ol' ears!"

WARMING ONE'S FEET IN SNOW:
REVIEW BY JOHN GIMBLETT
This CD arrived in a batch of what is, frankly, one of the strangest bundle of CDs I've ever received at one time. All of the discs are from Canada, and most of them would be described as - for want of a better word - jazz. Experimental jazz, free jazz, jazzy people called Geoff. You get the idea. They were jazz.
A couple of them owed much to Frank Zappa in the Mothers days. I discounted those immediately (actually, I sent them to a mate of mine in Brittany - he'll love them).
Then there was this disc. As it was so short - 28 mins. - and I was too busy working to eject it and go on to the next one, I ended up listening to it all. I like 28 minute albums: it's one of the main reasons I like Lemonheads. I like 28 minute gigs too - Jesus & Mary Chain barely got past half of that, and they were all the better for it. Crikey, I've seen bands who played single songs that lasted longer than twenty-eight minutes!
The cover of this CD attracted me too: it's a simple painting done on watercolour paper - Karen did the artwork. It reminded me straight off of the sleeve of a Kevin Ayers LP I used to own. To be honest, this music doesn't sound a million miles away from that music either. Well, it does. But it doesn't. It's quite pastoral, the painting - like the music, full of space and fresh air to breathe.
Herd of Mers consists of two people, who I assume are a married couple as they share a surname. They might be brother and sister. John Orsi plays drums and percussion and Karen plays everything else; she also writes the songs. The guitar is acousticwith- attitude and the drums sound like a Spongebob kit I saw in the window of a local music shop here in Newport. That isn't a criticism: they sound great. Being so close physically, this has given the Orsi pair a musical tightness that surely goes beyond just a lovely, bare production sound. Hail to the producer and engineer! Actually, I see from the sleeve that they did that too. Clever buggers.
Each track (there are eight, the longest a tad over 4 mins. the shortest a little under 3) is pretty similar to every other, but this makes the album stronger. It works as a "suite" of songs (does that make me sound like an old hippie?) though to be honest I can't understand most of the lyrics. It's a sort of droning, American (sorry, Canadians - put it down to my ignorance) sound, though there's an un-mistakable French tone to the whole thing. Unlike some of the aforementioned CDs, this doesn't involve accordions or trying to sound like Frank Zappa.
Karen sounds a little like Tanya Donelly or Kim Deal and there's a sort of unplugged Pixies or even Nirvana sound going on here, albeit with Karen rather than a rough-looking bloke singing.
It would be difficult for me to pick a stand-out track from this set as they work as an album rather than a straightforward collection of (unrelated) songs. The last track, Awhile, begins with a smooth strummed guitar intro. accompanied by what sounds like bongos, but almost certainly isn't. Their production assistant Daphne Dakota adds some "wayward" vocals to the song. Her name suggests she might have been in a garage band at some time, or even played a small part in a David Lynch film. Her backing vocals have that breathy texture that warm my feet, especially good at the moment seeing as how there's snow on the ground.
Still on that last track, there's some buzzing lead guitar licks too (as we used to say in the last century), and it's quickly become my favourite song of the moment, though I'm not sure I could hum it to order. The song Single Hour is another sweet moment worth four minutes and six seconds of anyone's time. Listen to it while you boil an egg sometime. As Karen sings in it:
Could you be the one that's always there
Caught between the wonder or despair
And that's made me want to finish this now and play the mighty Husker Dü's Could You Be The One? You'll probably never see this album in a shop, but you might feel intrigued enough by my vague account of it to have a look for them online and even buy a copy (say hello to Daphne for me). Perhaps you'll catch them via the website I heard a BBC Radio 4 presenter call Facepack this week. You know the one.

Herd Of Mers/ Aurora Caught Napping/ it's Twilight Time CD
If there was any justice in this world this band would already be indie darlings but still they languish in obscurity. Karen Orsi's charming voice is the perfect foil for John Orsi's varied but subdued instrumental backings which are mostly stripped down but occasionally rise with dramatic flourish. This is what's good about home recording to me. Very human, very personal and very, very good.

(IT'S TWILIGHT TIME)
The Review: The debut record from a new band called Herd Of Mers, 'Aurora Caught Napping', can be a hard thing to categorize musically. They don't sound like anyone, past or present. The music Karen and John Orsi create here is on the angular side at times and then quite somber others with the same intensity. Karen provides the, almost Fripp-like at time, guitars and the beautifully haunting vocals and John does all the percussion.
They get their music across in such a way that keyboards or additional band members aren't needed. There is never a need to out do each other or showcasing. Just some simple sounds that give out complex results. Think a stripped down King Crimson fronted by Patti Smith for the foundation of this music.
Herd of Mers' debut 'Aurora Caught Napping' while being under 30 minutes, says more than some bands that produce double the amount of music. I would recommend this band to fans of King Crimson, Patti Smith and similar acts.

Here's a new tentacle of Providence, RI artist/music collective It's Twilight Time whose principals delve into off-the-beaten-path music. Here mainstay John Orsi is in supporting role, rattling drums in percussive mode more than keeping beats behind his missus Karen Orsi, who croons and plays clipped dirty guitar and bass. Originally known as Midge in 1995, the duo play more minimalist pop than either ITT or the pair's past work together with more atmospheric dreampoppers Overflower (or John's instrumental Incandescent Sky). There are no gothic touches, just Karen scraping at her guitar forming little pattern chords and singing a bit like a more tuneful Kim Gordon doing Karen Carpenter. Everything seems cold and softly lit, slightly nerve-wracking in its quietude--it's a steadily pernicious quiet that can get under your skin over eight cuts. It's highly organic, artistic, unusual, and strangely beckoning. (overflower.com)

"Aurora Caught Napping" is the debut record by Providence duo Karen and John Orsi. "Aurora Caught Napping" is a strong lo-fi record that is also very rhythmic. The record is eight tracks of avant pop movements that really do not follow any traditional rules we are used to. The record starts off with an array of guitar noises on "Dirty Shows." Karen sings very much like PJ Harvey at times with that quiet and throaty vocal. "Fold" is a track that sounds very minimal at first but there is a lot going on here. The song features a shaker mallet and some really big sounding drums. The title track follows and it does have a few similar tones as the previous song did so I thought at first this was still "Fold." "Keep" is the only track on the album that has any type of conventional approach to it. Typically, you only get a track or two not following the conventional approach. It is cool to hear an album that does not feel the need to fit its style into a box. The band sounds like they are just make a record the way they wanted to. "Auroa Caught Napping" will be a tough listen for some but this record has a lot of fascinating moments and surprises at every track.

John Orsi (Overflower) has been creating noisy, wandering, evocative, often beautiful music for a long time. Karen Orsi, his significant other and collaborator, takes control of the material here for the first time on her band Herd of Mers' debut, Aurora Caught Napping (It's Twilight Time, at overflower.com), and she exhibits even more delicacy and restraint, though with slightly more conventionality. There's air and space between most of her notes — all of which are supplied by the duet on guitar and drums. Karen's voice lingers sweetly and most meaningfully on quieter tunes like "Single Hour" and "Midge." It reverberates more fully on "Walls," which has a psychedelic, post Velvet Underground feel. Aurora Caught Napping is a searching work, with lots of solid ideas. For me, the prettier moments work best.

Debut record by Providence duo Karen and John Orsi. Driven equally by the power of Karen's angular guitar and impressionist lyrics, and John's percussion work, "Aurora Caught Napping" is a lo-fi, occasionally post-punk but always grounded in rhythmic structures that guide you through the outbursts. The title track, especially, as well as "Dirty Shoes" feature brittle guitar lines that threaten to erupt and overshadow the softly chanted words, but remain just enough at bay for tension's sake. "Karen Orsi's stripped down yet evocative playing on "Walls" recalls the rude harmonics of "Cold Turkey" era Lennon, though much more controlled.
The guitar/percussion interplay keeps that line straddled between chaos and brooding that make this a satisfying record. John Orsi' tribal grooves keep equal pace on "Fold," and take over at surprising moments on "Midge."
Herd of Mers is one duo not trying to sound bigger or into drawing attention to themselves for being a cool duo. But they are. They create and disturb space with equal intensity, often leaving the listener wondering whether to lean in closer to hear what's up or to take a wise step back. Either way, Aurora Caught Napping" may make you dreamy, but you'll sleep with one eye open for sure.

Herd of Mers - AURORA CAUGHT NAPPING: Our friends from www.overflower.com (as in John & Karen (Riendeau) Orsi, who have been submitting stuff to us for a long, long time now) definitely "changed the mood up" on us... after 3 or 4 jazz wonders in a row, this is a pleasant diversion into rockin' psychedelia, to be sure. The percussion on the title track opens with the same kinda' fugue you might hear/feel when YOU were being awakened; a haunting piece, no doubt. The way they blend the excellent drums into the guitar/vocals on "Fold", my favorite track, somehow brings to mind visions of hobbits & goblins dancin' 'round the pillars of StoneHenge... may not be what they intended, but that's what I see/hear... excellent little tune. There's a hypnotic quality (as with some of John's earlier CD's) that runs all through the music, & Karen & John clearly enjoy doing their (highly talented) vocals together. Jazzheads may not find this their cup o' tea, but for those who like to rock ev'ry once in a moon's passage, this is THE ticket... gets a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from these ol' ears!

7 attacks traced to Georgia serial rapist, police say
by: WSB Staff
Posted: Mar 7, 2019 / 12:05 AM EST / Updated: Mar 7, 2019 / 12:05 AM EST
Georgia authorities say they are dealing with a serial rapist accused of attacking seven women.
The suspect is said to have raped six women within two years and was linked to another attack from over the weekend.
Some victims say authorities are not doing enough to catch the suspect.
"I think that should have been done the first time it happened he probably would have been caught then," said one victim of the added patrols and flyers being passed around Clayton County.
Another woman says she was attacked in her apartment last October and police have ignored her since.
Authorities say that they could not release any details due to the sensitive nature of the cases. But they have announced they are engaging the public and offering safety tips after the suspect attacked a woman Saturday.
"We're just making people aware of what's going on around the neighborhood," said one officer passing out flyers. "Be careful okay?"
Police are hoping someone has seen him or knows something about his identity. They plan to provide more information about the case on Friday.
