Adelstein Is Right On FCC Authority to Launch An Investigation Into Arbitron Portable People Meter.
Harold November 25, 2008 - 11:39 am February 26, 2013 General, Tales of the Sausage Factory adelstein, chairman martin, fcc, fcc commissioner, interested parties, mandate
FCC Commissioner Adelstein wrote Chairman Martin a letter yesterday asking Martin to launch a formal inquiry into Arbitron's use of the new portable people meter (PPM). As I noted back in September when the FCC put the Petition for an inquiry out on Public Notice, this issue means a lot to minority-oriented stations and their audiences, as they believe the PPM undercounts listeners to minority radio programming.
Also as I said back then, I think the FCC has very broad authority to investigate just about anything related to its core mission of, in the words of Section 1 of the Communications Act, "to make available, so far as possible, to all the people of the United States, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, a rapid, efficient, Nation-wide, and world-wide wire and radio communication service with adequate facilities at reasonable charges, for the purpose of the national defense, for the purpose of promoting safety of life and property through the use of wire and radio communications."
Mind you, having the power to launch an official inquiry does not mean you have the power to actually do anything. The FCC's mandate is fairly broad, but it has limits. But one of the questions the FCC can ask is: "So, if we discovered something we didn't like, what could we do about it?" That answer may be nothing more than "tell Congress this sucks," a conclusion the FCC has reached in the past on occasion when it concluded it could take no action under existing law. But it also allows the FCC to explore other options. For example, the FCC could decide that concerns over the ppm make Arbitron ratings unreliable for certain measurements relating to its rules, like determining whether or not a station is in the "top four" for purposes of permitting a merger. Or the FCC could decide, after seeing lots of opinions and legal research from interested parties pro and con, that the FCC does have authority even if it has never exercised this authority. Adelstein cites 47 U.S.C. 257, which requires the FCC to eliminate market barriers to entry. I think a fairly strong case can be made that regulation of ratings services falls under the FCC's ancillary authority over broadcasting. That's a little difficult after American Library Association v. FCC (the broadcast flag case), because a ppm is not a "communication" and ALA held that ancillary jurisdiction must regulate an actual communication or transmission rather than simply have some possible impact on the future of television. OTOH, ratings are so clearly integral to the entire broadcasting industry that the connection with the "statutorily mandated" responsibilities and goals of the Communications Act is very strong.
Neither of these views may bear out on close investigation as authority to act. But again, this is why the FCC conducts inquiries. While it is easy to point to things that might have an impact on broadcasting that clearly lie outside the FCC's jurisdiction, such as building the Sears Tower in Chicago, and easy to point to things that lie squarely inside the authority of the FCC to regulate (such as media ownership limits), there is also a middle ground of things that are rather murky. In a case such as this, where interested parties have submitted a mess of evidence that raises questions on a matter that potentially impacts millions of people getting access to diverse programming, I think the FCC ought to go ahead and have an inquiry.
Kevin Martin, champion of Net Neutrality?
John July 28, 2008 - 4:30 pm July 28, 2008 "A Republic, if you can keep it", My Thoughts Exactly boston, chairman martin, comcast, democracy, fcc, harold feld, net neutrality, point of view
According to Freepress.net, Martin joins a "Bipartisan FCC Majority" to punish Comcast for its peer-to-peer blocking funny business, already discussed here lots of times.
Like everybody else, I'll await the in depth analysis sure to come from Harold Feld.
But assuming that this is what it appears to be, I hereby congratulate Chairman Martin. As I reported here, I had a chance to talk to him at the reception following the FCC hearing in Boston. And I found him sympathetic to the point of view that net neutrality was about more than consumer rights, it was about preserving the Internet as an engine of democracy. I wouldn't be surprised if that argument figured in the deliberations on this ruling. In any event, I'm cautiously optimistic.
Wireless Mic Follow Up: Turns Out Public Safety Did Get There First
Harold July 21, 2008 - 12:09 pm July 21, 2008 Spectrum, Tales of the Sausage Factory broadcast, chairman martin, conversations, economist, engineer, fcc, heck, interference, mhz band, white spaces, wireless microphone, wireless microphones
One may logically ask, if I am right about the wireless microphones being such a big problem for public safety, why haven't the public safety folks complained to the FCC about this?
Answer: turns out they have. But, the public safety folks being quiet and unassuming, failed to make themselves heard.
Allow me to change that. The National Public Safety Telecommunications Council, a federation of public safety associations, sent a letter to Chairman Martin asking that the FCC address the problem of wireless microphones back on June 30, 2008. i.e., about two weeks before I filed. While I wish I could claim that it was the NPSTC letter that inspired me, I had no idea it was out there until today. My conversations with the public safety guys were all informal and off the record. Still, as always when folks remind me I'm not an engineer (or an economist, or technologist, or any of the other topics on which I chose to share my humble layperson's opinion), I am rather pleased to find a bunch of actual engineers that agree with me.
Mind you, the NPSTC letter asks the FCC to go a heck of a lot further than I have. NPSTC wants wireless microphones kicked out of the entire 700 MHz band. I, OTOH, think lots of folks can productively use the broadcast white spaces. Still, I do feel compelled to point out that wireless microphones do not have nearly the level of intelligence/sophistication being discussed for interference avoidance for the white spaces devices at issue in 04-186. Perhaps we should require wireless microphones to rely on sensing as well, or require that they consult an online database for possible new users in the band, or require them to acknowledge some sort of "permissive beacon." Perhaps public safety entities like NPSTC should administer the database or beacon, and we should require wireless microphone users to pay for these services.
I mean, after all, we wouldn't want to let these devices run around loose, would we? Think of the terrible interference that might cause. Unless these devices can meet the same rigorous standards that Shure and others seek to impose on unlicensed devices in 04-186, I don't see how we can ask NPSTC to abide by circumstances that they feel place our public safety at risk.
It's Always Nice When The FCC Listens
Harold April 25, 2008 - 3:59 pm April 25, 2008 Life In The Sausage Factory, Tales of the Sausage Factory chairman martin, fcc, fcc decision, fellow, last chance, proceedings, public policy, willingness
A few months ago, fellow Wetmachiner Greg Rose and I wrote a wrote a white paper on how to improve the FCC's processes, make FCC rulemakings and proceedings more accessible to the public, and generally increase the legitimacy and reliability of FCC decision making. As one relatively easy change, we suggested the FCC post the agenda for open meetings far enough in advance that people can come in and make their last pitches to the agency before "Sunshine" (the period when communications stop under the "Government In the Sunshine Act") kick in. As we explained, providing the agenda at the last second often advantages insiders who hear when an item is likely to go on the agenda, who therefore rush in while those who don't know the item is going on Sunshine will lose their last chance to rebut arguments or press their case.
So it was pleasant to see Chairman Martin announce that from now on he will publish the likely agenda 3 weeks in advance. That should be a big help to everyone — including the other Commissioners, who will not suddenly find themselves with a week to digest an agenda of a dozen items.
Yes, it is a relatively minor change, but it is important in two ways. First, practical details really do matter. That sometimes gets lost in the fight over specific substantive issues. Second, it demonstrates a willingness by Martin to listen to criticism and take action — at least on the low hanging fruit. Such things deserve notice and suitable (although not overly elaborate) praise. Remember, public policy is made by human beings, and you get what you reward.
My Testimony From Today
Harold April 17, 2008 - 10:28 pm April 17, 2008 Series of Tubes, Tales of the Sausage Factory cable operators, chairman martin, comcast, fcc, harold feld, network management, open access
Well, that was fun. I reprint my testimony as prepared, not as delivered. I also cut a very insider joke. I'd planned to start:
"Mr. Chairman, I understand that this is the open Commission meeting, so it is perhaps no surprise that we are running an hour late. Also, as I have not had time to complete this testimony, I ask for editorial privileges."
But no one off the podium was likely to get it.
[Editorial note from John (to help search engines and any random Wetmachine readers who stumble upon this): This post concerns Harold Feld's testimony at today's FCC hearing at Stanford University.]
700 MHz Update: FCC Severs D Block, Refers Cyren Call Allegations To Inspector General.
Harold March 20, 2008 - 2:54 pm March 20, 2008 Spectrum, Tales of the Sausage Factory auction, big time, blog entry, chairman martin, d block, fcc, frontline, public safety, washington post
The FCC can certainly move fast when it wants to — and when it has had a few weeks to get used to the idea. The FCC just released a public notice that it will "de-link" the D Block from Auction 73, and will release the names of the winners as soon as the Commission collects the payments (ten days after it issues the official notice that the auction is over and that parties now need to file "long forms" and pay up).
Also of importance, Chairman Martin has referred the question of whether Cyren Call made all manner of demands of Frontline, and did this break any rules to the Office of the Inspector General. This extremely important detail was buried in this somewhat less than stellar Washington Post article about our letter to the FCC calling for an investigation. I say "less than stellar" because, in addition to "burying the lead" big time, the reporters did not trouble themselves to contact me despite that fact that (a) I broke this story in the first place (only narrowly beating out Dow Jones' Cory Boles); (b) I drafted the friggin' letter. I therefore recommend this far superior article in eWeek (i.e., it mentions me and links to the relevant blog entry — a clear mark of superior journalistic skills).
A bit more analysis below . . .
700 MHz Auction: Whither The D Block?
Harold February 21, 2008 - 5:34 pm February 21, 2008 Spectrum, Tales of the Sausage Factory chairman martin, copps, d block, fcc, public safety community, what the heck
With even Chairman Martin publically agreeing that D Block is unlikely to attract any new bids, the question logically arises — what now? Needless to say, folks have not been shy about voicing their suggestions — especially those who think we ought to focus on maximizing revenue. Instead, I have a novel suggestion. Why don't we actually investigate what the heck happened first?

Responding to Kevin Martin and Other Reflections On Yesterday's FCC Broadcast Ownership Vote
Harold December 19, 2007 - 8:22 am December 19, 2007 Media Ownership, Tales of the Sausage Factory chairman martin, fcc, fcc reform, habit, kevin martin, media access project, media consolidation, reflections
(As you may have seen from John's post, we lost several days worth of material yesterday and couldn't get this posted promptly. So forgive me for posting what is literally yesterday's news. And hopefully I will be able to get back or reconstruct the other posts.)
So the day has come. Martin has crossed the ownership Rubicon, and we now move on to the campaign to force Congress to over-rule the FCC vote while simultaneously fighting in the courts. (And if you want to see us stay in the fight and have a chance of winning, I highly recommend making a tax deductible contribution to my employer (and lead counsel for the case) Media Access Project).
First, a hearty congratulations to the Commissioners, and Kevin Martin in particular, for starting only an hour late from the announced time! This is quite the improvement from the last meeting. Who says FCC reform doesn't work? Second, if it is going to take 2 hours for everyone to read their statements, please let us know so we can use the bathroom first. Third, if the FCC is going to make a habit of this, I recommend putting in a concession stand so we can buy snacks during the intermission.
That out of the way, a few more serious reflections below….
Hot Bi-Partisan Action On Cable Part II — All Eyes On Adelstein As Cable Vote Nears
Harold November 25, 2007 - 10:03 pm November 25, 2007 Cable, Tales of the Sausage Factory adelphia cable, cable companies, cable market, chairman martin, copps, docket number, greg rose, jonathan adelstein, mhz auction, no doubt, special interests, swing vote
So I spent a good deal of time in Part I explaining why 70/70, leased access, and the rest of it are necessary steps to curb cable market power. You can also see the back and forth between MAP and the cable guys on whether the 70/70 threshold is met (for those of us that actually care about the substance) either by going to the FCC's Electronic Comment search page and pluging in the docket number 06-189. Or you can check out what my friend Greg Rose has written on his blog. Because regardless of what you think the policy is, there is an actual empirical question here that — if we required cable companies to submit real subscriber numbers to the FCC rather than letting them file whatever the heck they want without any kind of verification or standard system of reporting — we would be able to answer.
And, as we head to a vote on Tuesday, Democratic Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein remains the swing vote. As regular readers know, I defended Commissioner Adelstein during the 700 MHz Auction fights when some of my friends in the movement wondered whether Adelstein was taking up the cause of the wireless companies against the consumer. Then, my faith was rewarded when Adelstein came out in favor of wholesale. Even though we ultimately lost that fight, there was no doubt that Jonathon Adelstein was on the side of the people not the special interests.
But now we come to cable. Where Commissioner Copps has always been a clear and unambiguous foe of cable market power, Adelstein has always been more … nuanced. For example, when Comcast and Time Warner divided up bankrupt Adelphia cable, Copps voted against the merger while Adelstein concurred in part and dissented in part. Adelstein used his concurrence to extract a promise from Chairman Martin to reform the cable leased access process. So was this going along with big cable or shrewd realpolitik? At the time, and still, I argued the later, trusting that Commissioner Adelstein's longstanding support for diversity and strong stand against media consolidation belied the rumors that he was "soft" on cable consolidation.
More troubling was Adelstein's recent concurring statement with Republican Commissioner Robert McDowell on denying Comcast's request for a waiver of the 1996 law requiring cable operators to create an open, standard interface for cable set-top boxes. But OK, Adelstein did vote to deny the waiver and was apparently chiefly honked off that Martin was cutting Verizon a break but not Comcast. While I might disagree (giving Verizon two years to develop compliance for a non-cable system when Comcast and the rest of the cable industry got ten years on the same excuse doesn't seem that outrageous to me — given that there are real honest-to-God technical differences between FIOS and cable systems and CableLabs, which developed the cable card standard, is a cable industry operation), I can at least understand where folks might get peeved at Martin's apparent favoritism between the telcos and the cable cos (more on that in Part III). And, after all, Adelstein did vote to actually enforce the law against the cable industry.
But still the same ugly rumors persist — Adelstein is soft on cable. Adelstein is looking for an excuse to avoid the vote. Adelstein wouldn't vote against cable on Comcast's fight with The America Channel except that Copps voted with Martin and ADelstein didn't want to look bad. etc., etc., etc.
Washington is a cynical town. It's always easier to believe that people are acting because they are owned by this special interest or owe favors to that industry than to believe that people are trying to do their best in a complicated world. I am an oddball in starting from a position that I give those on the same side as me and those on the opposite side the benefit of the doubt until I see something that puts it beyond doubt that a person is favoring a private interest or industry over the public interest no matter what.
So we come down to the wire on cable. I've fought the cable industry on these issues for the last 8 years, and I am a newbie compared to some of the folks in the movement that lived to see the vote on Tuesday. I believe that, as an objective matter, the 70/70 cable penetration benchmark has been met — and was met at least as early as 2005. I continue to believe that cable exercises market power over programming and subscription rates and that the FCC needs to address these problems.
And I believe that Commissioner Adelstein, like Commissioner Copps, cares about diversity of programming and protecting consumers from cable market power. At least, I believe it now. And I hope I'll still believe it after Tuesday.
Well, Yeah, Actually, I Am Gloating…
Greg November 19, 2007 - 7:11 pm November 19, 2007 Econoklastic, General assurances, c block, chairman martin, consortium, google, horizon, mhz auction, monopoly, net neutrality, open access, wall street, wall street journal
I try not to gloat, but it's impossible not to take a certain amount of satisfaction in the Wall Street Journal's confirmation on Nov. 16 that Google intends to bid in the 700 MHz auction in January, regardless of whether it has partners in a bidding consortium. This confirms my prediction back on August 2 in Econoklastic that Chairman Martin's refusal to impose a wholesale open access condition on the C block would not prevent Google from bidding, despite naysayers in the press and on Wall Street.
The underlying reality is that Google needs a third broadband pipe to escape imposition of monopoly rents by the wireline and cable carriers, since net neutrality provisions with real enforcement teeth are nowhere to be seen on the horizon: that means do it themselves or get someone to do it for them. That reality hasn't changed, and the guys at Google clearly recognise this fact. I am equally heartened by assurances from Google counsel Rick Whitt at a conference in NYC week before last that Google still intends to implement its full wholesale open access business plan over any spectrum it obtains in the 700 MHz auction.

The German army had one of the world's largest motorcycle forces of World War II. In order to stay speedy and mobile, combat units used two and three-wheeled vehicles for courier duty, scouting the enemy, hunting tanks, towing light cannons, and transporting fast-moving infantry units.
Military motorcyclists had a dangerous job. They were magnets for sniper fire, landmines, and strafing aircraft. Atop their small unarmored machines, the riders were also exposed to gunfire, shrapnel, and the elements.
The BMW R75 was one of Germany's most popular and universally-used motorcycles. Developed specially for combat, the R75 was extremely hearty and dependable, even in the sands of North Africa and the muddy and snowy environs of the Eastern Front.
With a place for up to three soldiers, the R75's side car had an axel-driven third wheel affixed to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. Many were equipped with a mount for an MG34 air-cooled machine gun. The vehicle's horizontally-opposed 2-cylinder engine and resilient gearbox allowed the R75 to crawl over rough terrain for hours or move at reasonably fast speeds on roads. Over 16,500 examples of the BMW R75 were built.

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, who will be marrying pop singer Nick Jonas in India later this year, attended a bridal shower that was hosted for her by her family and friends in New York. Priyanka looked ravishing in an ivory Marchesa dress paired with nude coloured stilettos and a Tiffany & Co. choker, as she posed next to silver coloured balloons which read: Bride.
The event was held on Sunday and the picture was shared by Mimi Cuttrell, who styled Priyanka for the bridal shower. The actress had also shared a photograph of herself on her Instagram stories while getting her hair and make-up for the celebration.
A post shared by Mimi Cuttrell (@mimi) on Oct 28, 2018 at 7:14pm PDT
Earlier, Priyanka had shared an adorable photo of Nick and her nephew on her Instagram page, and captioned it, "Nephew and boo".
Nephew and boo.. 😍❤ @ayd.in you r so cute! @irfan525 @stace1711A post shared by Priyanka Chopra (@priyankachopra) on Oct 28, 2018 at 3:07pm PDT
Priyanka got engaged to Nick on her birthday in July this year after the Jonas Brothers hitmaker proposed to her with a Tiffany & Co diamond ring after just two months of dating. They are said to be tying the knot later in December, with reports suggesting that the marriage will take place in Jodhpur with the main event being held at Umaid Bhawan.
The actress has been shuttling between India and the US to spend some quality time with her fiance, and rumours are that Priyanka will be moving to Los Angeles after her marriage to Nick. Nick is said to have bought a lavish five-bedroom mansion in Beverly Hills, which has impressive views of the canyon.
On the work front, Priyanka is said to be busy with the filming of Shonali Bose's The Sky Is Pink, co-starring Farhan Akhtar and Zaira Wasim.

Dallas Organization Invites Families To Share The Thanksgiving Meal With Homeless Friends
By Courtney Collins • Nov 27, 2019
A center for homeless men and women in Dallas is hosting a Thanksgiving event that emphasizes dignity. Instead of volunteers serving the homeless on a buffet line, they all sit together and share a meal.
This yearly tradition draws well over 1,000 people.
Listen to the story
Wayne Walker is a pastor and executive director of the Dallas homeless ministry OurCalling. The Thanksgiving meal it hosts has been a tradition for almost a decade now — a tradition that emphasizes respect and community.
"We kind of moved away from wearing the plastic gloves and the apron and just tossing food on a plate and handing it to someone," Walker said. "This is really a family experience. So your family seated at a table with homeless friends having a family meal together."
Walker says it's important for homeless men and women to enjoy fellowship around the table. It's not just about the food, it's arguing over the Dallas Cowboys and watching the parade. He hopes people volunteering keep that in mind after the Thanksgiving meal is cleared away.
"It's easy and convenient to take that day to go serve, but consider ways that you can serve and be involved with the homeless community the other 364 days of the year," Walker said.
OurCalling runs an outreach center that includes a church as well as hot meals, showers, laundry and addiction recovery classes.

GRAND FORKS -- Democrat Kylie Oversen and Republican incumbent Ryan Rauschenberger will each be moving on to the 2018 general election for state tax commissioner.
Sydney Mook Jun 12th 2018 - 10pm.
GRAND FORKS - Democrat Kylie Oversen and Republican incumbent Ryan Rauschenberger will each be moving on to the 2018 general election for state tax commissioner.
Rauschenberger, who has been tax commissioner since 2014, collected 99.3 percent of the vote with 397 of 424 precincts reporting in incomplete and unofficial results from the state's primary election Tuesday, June 12. He was the only Republican running for the position and had 54,796 votes on his primary ticket with almost all of the votes counted..
Oversen, who currently serves as the head of the North Dakota Democratic-NPL party and previously was a state representative from Grand Forks, received 99.8 percent of the vote. She was also the only Democrat running for the position and had 30,896 votes as of 11:30 p.m.
There were a total of 411 write-in votes for the position as of 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, 36 for the Democratic ticket and 375 for the Republican ticket.
The tax commissioner office oversees six divisions dealing with tax law, revenue collection and fiscal management, among others. The tax commissioner has a four-year term in North Dakota and is up for election during midterm election years.
The tax commissioner is also the only statewide elected official serving on North Dakota's Legacy Fund advisory board, which oversees how the fund's dollars are invested.

QUOTE: "If you kill me, my underlings will die too."
Belmach is a loser, even by underworld standards. As a demon of medium (or below medium) strength, he is often the lap dog of more powerful villains. He's missing nearly half of his jaw due to a fight with Stoic that took place some time before the events in "Unlikely Sanctuary."
Belmach's only apparent powers are regenerative healing, and conjuring tiny mindless psuedo-demons under his control. Although he normally heals quickly, his torn jaw seems to be the exception.
Belmach's number one goal in life is to stay as far away from Stoic as possible.

Manat azerbejdżański (azer. Azərbaycan manatı; kod ISO 4217: AZN) – waluta narodowa Azerbejdżanu. Dzieli się na 100 gapików (azer. qəpik)

Manat azerbejdżański wprowadzono 15 sierpnia 1992 roku. Pierwotnie wraz z manatem w obiegu znajdowały się również ruble radzieckie oraz ruble rosyjskie (seria 1992-1993). Począwszy od 22 listopada 1993 roku rozpoczęto proces wycofania z obiegu radzieckich i rosyjskich rubli. Od 1 stycznia 1994 roku manat został jedyną prawnie dozwoloną walutą Azerbejdżanu.

1 stycznia 2006 roku przeprowadzono denominację w stosunku 5000:1. Banknoty serii 1993 roku obowiązywały do 1 stycznia 2007 roku

Na współczesny manat składa się 6 monet oraz 7 banknotów.
 Monety: 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 50 gapików.
 Banknoty: 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 manatów.
Design banknotów został opracowany przez austriackiego projektanta walut Roberta Kalinę, który jest autorem designu euro.

Część banknotów jest drukowana na zlecenie Narodowego Banku Azerbejdżanu (azer. Azərbaycan Milli Bankı) przez De La Rue.

Banknoty

Banknoty serii 1992–2001
Pierwsze banknoty w niepodległym Azerbejdżanie wprowadzono 15 sierpnia 1992 r.

Rok emisji jest wskazany tylko na banknotach o wartości 10 000, 50 000 oraz 1000 manatów (seria 2001).

Na reszcie banknotów rok emisji nie jest podany. Wszak na banknotach wprowadzonych do obiegu w latach 1992–1993 znajduje się oznaczenie 'X/N', a na banknotach wyemitowanych w roku 1999 – "XX"

Całkowite wycofanie banknotów tej serii z obiegu zakończyło się 1 stycznia 2007 r.

Banknoty (seria 2005)
W roku 2005 w ramach przygotowań do zaplanowanej na początek 2006 r. denominacji wyemitowano nową serię banknotów składającą się z 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 i 100 manatów.

Banknoty serii 2005 (modyfikacja 2009-2018 r.)
 w roku 2009 Narodowy Bank Azerbejdżanu zmienił nadpis na banknotach o wartości 1 i 5 manatów z "Azərbaycan Milli Bankı" ("Narodowy Bank Azerbejdżanu") na Azərbaycan Mərkəzi Bankı ("Bank Centralny Azerbejdżanu").
 w roku 2011 minister finansów Azerbejdżanu oznajmił gotowość złożyć projekt ustawy umożliwiającej wprowadzenie do obiegu banknoty o wartości 2 i 3 manatów.
 24 maja 2019 został wprowadzony do obiegu nowy banknot o nominale 200 manatów.

While water damage of any kind often causes unpleasant odours and mold, wet carpets are of particular concern because they take a long time to dry and they soak up dirt, bacteria and mold spores like a sponge.
As such, homeowners should avoid using carpets below ground level (i.e. in basements) as well as in bathrooms, kitchens, and other highly humid areas.
High humidity, moisture intrusion (leaky pipes, flooding, etc.) and standing water are all major causes of carpet mold, so making sure to address these issues promptly is the surest way to reduce odours and prevent mold.
If you find yourself face-to-face with moldy or wet carpets, call Mold Busters for quality carpet mold removal in Montreal and Ottawa. We offer mold removal services for residential and commercial properties across Ontario and Quebec.
Video: How to Get Rid of Mold on Carpet?
People usually seek professional carpet cleaning services after noticing damp, musty odours coming from a particular room; after a flood; or upon the onset of symptoms like persistent allergies, difficulty breathing, skin rashes, and eye or throat irritation.
To prevent odours, mold and health problems associated with poor indoor air quality, it's important to dry wet carpets immediately—otherwise mold can start to grow within 24-48 hours.
Why contact a remediation professional?
Removing mold from carpets is a rigorous process, as mold spores often settle deep inside the fabric. At Mold Busters, we use high-power, industry-standard equipment like ozone generators and HEPA vacuums to get mold, odours and bacteria out of your carpets.
Following the remediation, your carpets are left looking fresh and clean, and the above-mentioned symptoms typically disappear.
If you've experienced recent water intrusion and want to save your water-damaged carpet, get it professionally cleaned—otherwise it's time to throw your carpet out.
Call now to book your carpet mold removal in Ottawa or Montreal. Mold Busters does it right!


Today I made an adjustment to the November SPX 1755/1760 Credit Put spread in the morning.
Closed $SPX Nov. 1760/1755 Credit Put spread for 1.05 debit. Sold 1600/1595 for 0.30 credit.
A credit of 0.30 ($120 in dollar terms) had been obtained from this spread when initially sold . So, overall it was a $300 loss, or around 2.5% portfolio draw-down.
This new Put spread brings in a $150 credit. If it turns out to be a winner, the final balance would be +$120 - $420 + $150 = -$150. Or approximately a 1.3% portfolio draw-down. Not bad at all. And although anything can happen, I think SPX is unlikely to go down to 1600 in the next 30 something days.
SPX started to rebound at the end of the day, with the kind of strength at the close that we hadn't seen in a week.
$220 credit. Will expire this Friday for max profit.
$120 credit. 85% probability of success and 36 days to expiration. Now part of 970/980/1150/1160 Iron Condor. Will adjust if RUT goes down to 1030 this week.
This position was opened as part of the adjustment to the 1020/1030/1234/1240 October Iron Condor. $201 credit. 96% probability of success, 36 days to expiration. Opened for 0.67 credit. Closing it for 0.20 debit will totally cover the loss on the October Iron Condor. I want to close it for that price, but maybe end up happy with 0.30 debit or so.
$200 credit. 36 days to expiration. Will help me mitigate the excessive downside exposure on the portfolio.
The trade described in this article. $150 credit. 96% probability of success, 36 days to expiration.
Not the end of the world. Losing months are inevitable with any strategy. Containing the damage is my number 1 priority at the moment. I'm still up about 14% for the year whereas the SPX is up only about 1% for the year after the close today. In fact it was negative for the year for a while during the session.
Take it easy, but take it anyways.
I like your adjustment. I think you have a great chance of letting it expire now. I normally wait until the end of the day to make adjustments. This was a fast moving market and it could have collapsed by the end of the day instead of turning around. I think if you had a 1775/1770 debit put spread protecting your 1760/1755 position, you would not have rushed into making the adjustment so soon. You would have time to decide your next move.
I noticed you increased your contract by 1 to bring in more credit instead of selling something closer to the underlying. I do this sometimes too if I want to reduce the adjustment cost, make it breakeven, or bring in even more credit.


The 2016 Nissan Titan is an answer to a question we're not entirely sure needs answering. So we tied the Titan's chief product head to a chair, filled him full of genuine Thai Red Bull, and glued his palms to a laptop to tell us why Nissan's latest foray into the light-duty pickup market matters.
The Titan is ever-so-slightly smaller than the dominant full-sizers, but with a Cummins turbo-diesel V8 and 12,000 pounds of towing capacity. It's here to woo F-150, Ram, and Silverado buyers with more power and better fuel economy, and Rich Miller, the Titan's chief product specialist, is here to tell you why. Ask him anything.

About Land's End:
Lands' End is a US-based home décor and clothing retailer with headquarters in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. The company specializes in home furnishings, luggage, and casual clothing. Much of their business is conducted via internet sales and mail order although they also have retail stores mainly distributed in the US's Upper Midwest region. The brand has a presence in Japan, Austria, France, Germany, and the UK. Lands' End was Sears Holding's subsidiary between 2002 and 2004.
The precursor of Lands' End started in 1963 as a yachting company that specialized in mail-order supplies. The business grew rapidly in the 1970s, leading the company to expand into home furnishing and general clothing in 1978 before moving to Dodgeville, Wisconsin. The 1980s saw the success of mail-order in the US, leading to a nationwide wave. The company grew remarkably as a result, prompting its management to expand its customer service and computer system operations. In 1986, Lands' End was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Sears acquired the company in 2002 and began making its merchandise available in its many retail stores. In 2013, Lands' End was spun off by Sears Holding Corp and became a separate company. As of 2019, the company has 65 locations with 16 of them being stand-alone stores while the rest are owned by Sears Holding Corp.

Joe Satriani's First Single/Video For "A Door Into Summer" Released
Posted on April 19, 2013 by Joe Satriani
Joe Satriani, the incomparable guitar aficionado, is readying for the release of his 14th studio album, Unstoppable Momentum, on May 7, 2013 through Epic Records, by releasing the first single, "A Door Into Summer," at radio this week. The video conceived as a musical journey of sorts, was actually shot as Satriani and his band made their way to the legendary Skywalker Sound studio, on the famed Skywalker Ranch in the Bay Area.
The video features a behind-the-scenes look at the band arriving, setting up and starting the album recording process intercut with a collage of stills from the album cover photo shoot. Produced by Satriani and Mike Fraser (AC/DC), the album features an amazing array of talented players including Vinnie Colauita (Sting, Jeff Beck) on drums, Chris Chaney (Janes Addiction) on bass and on keyboards, Mike Keneally (Dethklok). All band members and Satriani are featured in various stages of the sessions.
Fans are encouraged to pre-order Unstoppable Momentum via Sony Music and Satriani's own website store. When pre-ordering through the Epic Records store at www.myplaydirect.com/joe-satriani fans will be given the chance to bundle new signed copies of the album with exclusive t-shirts and guitar straps. At www.satriani.com, fans will receive an exclusive, never before seen art book featuring years of drawings, doodles and sketches that Satriani has done over the years. "Some of my drawings have made their way on to guitars, straps and picks, LP and CD booklets, t-shirts, hats, keychains, etc and even my live stage productions," explains Satriani. "This book represents my first effort to finally compile my oddly drawn friends into one place, a wildly colorful portfolio of sorts. A collection of drawings meant to inspire and entertain."

Bitter, Peculiar, and Funny…
by MyBaconPress January 2, 2022
Okay, so Ghislaine is going to jail, as she should. It's looking a bit like Prince Andrew is going to take a shellacking in the press and public opinion. The article I read in the Guardian said, "As to whether Prince Andrew is in greater jeopardy in terms of the civil suit now being stronger there could be some pressure on the court because the public wants to know why the users of these young girls were not held accountable," former sex crimes prosecutor Wendy Murphy told the Observer." The public wants a pound of flesh from the rapists – not just the pimps – but the civil suit is all about money and when the right numbers are paid the case will go away, assuming it survives the jurisdictional challenges," Murphy added. (I added the italicized emphasis because that's the salient point to this piece.)
See, the prince MAY end up paying some money. Even if a judgement is entered against him, it will be done in an American court and the Brits could just say, "Yeah, so?" and ignore the judgement. Then Andrew will just go back to his life. Not the public appearances, of course but not jail, either. Despite the fact that "the public wants to know why the users of these young girls were not held accountable" and "The public wants a pound of flesh from the rapists – not just the pimps" – all true – that will be as far as it goes. It's just bad luck for Andrew that he got caught up in this thing publicly before his people could get ahead of it. It's also bad luck for humanity as we all watch – again – as the so-called "rule of law" demonstrates it's limitations, applying, as it does, only to the "great unwashed…"
Some have speculated that ol' Ghis might make a deal with prosecutors to go after some of the other abusers. She's not going to get the chance, I think. We all KNOW she has the goods on some very rich, very powerful people but those people have done the necessary work to get the government to stand down without pursuit. That is, the government isn't going to prosecute anyone else. From the same article; "…government prosecutors have made no indication since Maxwell's conviction that they intend to prosecute further, either other members of Epstein's staff or alleged customers of the Epstein-Maxwell sex trafficking conspiracy. Instead, they have given signs that they are closing the book." Since the government has decided to let those perps scurry back into their little hidy-holes, she has nothing to trade. Bummer for her but, really, it might save her life.
Remember when her partner Jeffery Epstein didn't kill himself in jail? I mean, he died there, sure, but an investigation discovered that he managed his "suicide" in the few moments not one but TWO guards simply turned their backs for a few carefully selected minutes. Okay, maybe he had the most amazing timing in history. I go with the "looks like a duck, walks like a duck" theory. But guess what? Again, from the same article, "Last week, prosecutors dropped charges against the two detention guards who failed to check on Epstein the night of his suicide (sic)." They didn't "fail to check" him. They intentionally turned their backs and closed their eyes. Now they're walking away – likely MUCH wealthier individuals…
Okay, this is funny. John Roberts, Chief "Justice" of the "Supreme" Court, says Federal judges need to be more careful about presiding over cases in which they might have a financial interest. Apparently, he's concerned about the appearance of impropriety. He said (and he actually said) "…because public trust is essential, not incidental, to our function." Then he went back to dismantling the Constitution with ideological decisions. Who in their right minds would – could – trust this sour cream court after the packing done by the GOP? The lip service is all well and good but actions speak louder than words…
I guess by now we all know that Betty White passed. Most of the pieces I've seen written about her focus on her success as a "Golden Girl." I first came to know her as Sue Ann Nivens from 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' and that will always be my favorite of her roles. Sue Ann hosted a fictional show called 'The Happy Homemaker' and was perky, happy, and sweet. Sickeningly sweet. She was also devious and "man-hungry." White, herself, described Nivens as "icky sweet."
Apparently, Betty White and Mary Tyler Moore were very close personal friends and the show runners producing 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' were hesitant to audition White for the role of Nivens for fear that if she wasn't right for the part, it might create tension between Moore and White. Of course, she wasn't just right for the part, she was perfect. She won two Emmy's for that role. Do yourself a favor. Go back and watch Betty White as Sue Ann Nivens on 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show.' You'll laugh.
What greater gift could a performer leave behind?

The fruit-infused, low-carb beer is perfect for summer and for the keto diet.
With spring comes the urge to drink something cold and refreshing. Nope, not just infused lemon water, something way more refreshing that you could bond over with your non-keto pals.
Anheuser-Busch, makers of Michelob Ultra, recently launched Michelob Ultra Infusions, a beer segment marketed towards health-conscious individuals who still like to enjoy their occasional beer.
According to a Michelob Ultra spokesperson, "Infusions disrupts the flavored beer category by infusing [the] beer with real exotic fruits."
The Michelob Ultra Infusions line initially comes in two flavors: Pomegranate & Agave and Lime & Prickly Pear Cactus. The infusions line is an addition to the flagship Michelob Ultra, a light beer segment that boasts of its low calories and low carbs—perfect for people on keto or on any weight loss diet for that matter.
As stated in their labels, the beers in the Infusions line each have 95 calories, same as their flagship. However, the Infusions beer has a lower alcohol volume, 4 percent, compared to 4.2 percent for the regular Michelob Ultra. It also contains more total net carbs at 5 grams per bottle while the flagship only contains 2.6 grams.
As more and more people are becoming health conscious, big beer brands are coming up with clever marketing campaigns and beer lines to win back consumers. The Michelob Ultra Infusions beer segment is no different. It is a classic example of how beer companies are trying to get on board the "healthy lifestyle" trend by creating beers that appeal to the health-conscious.

MEET RICHARD HARRIS
NEW - RICHARD HARRIS SONGS
Richard Harris is a retired freelance journalist living on the northern fringes of the Lake District in Cumbria.
After many years working happily on provincial newspapers (the Weston-super-Mare Mercury, the Western Daily Press and the Nottingham Evening Post) his career took an unexpected turn when he was sacked after three years as editor of the Evening News & Star and weekly Cumberland News in Carlisle.
In a desperate attempt to make a living without giving up either the career he loved or the place he loved living in, he became a freelance reporter and writer, mainly covering activities at Carlisle Crown Court.
Richard has been married to Tricia, whom he met while working in Somerset, for more than 40 years and they live in a small rural village a few miles from Carlisle. They have two grown-up sons, a daughter and two grandchildren.
He enjoys a typical Cumbrian rustic lifestyle, with ducks and hens in the garden and buzzards, woodcock and pheasants in the woodland which surrounds his house.
He has supported Bristol City for more than half a century and in 2008, after five years' trying, qualified as a solo glider pilot.

The Drought and Californians' Views on Climate Policy
David Kordus
Subscribe to our blog →
The California Legislature is considering bills that would expand state efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions. One, SB 32, would require that California reduce emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. Another, SB 350, would require that petroleum use in cars be reduced by 50 percent, half of the state's electricity come from renewable energy sources, and buildings double their energy efficiency—all by 2030.
Our July statewide survey examined support for the goals of these bills. We found that strong majorities of Californians favored each of these proposals but that support varied among partisans, with Democrats and independents more likely than Republicans to be in favor. However, a closer look reveals that party registration is not the only driver of these views.
Within the parties and among independents, registered voters who think global warming has contributed to the drought are far more likely to support the ideas in these bills than those who don't. Among Republicans, solid majorities of those who think global warming has contributed to the drought also support SB 32 and SB 350. Meanwhile, among Democrats and independents who do not think global warming has contributed to the drought, support for SB 350 drops to about half or less.
By the same token, Californians who think climate change is having an impact today are more likely to support these policies than those who don't think it will have an impact until sometime in the future—and much more likely than those who think climate change will never have an impact.
These findings suggest that Californians who make a connection between climate change and their daily lives are much more likely to support policies to address it. They also suggest that attitudes toward ambitious climate and energy goals are not simply partisan, but that they are related to individual beliefs about the impact of climate change.

Woody's Farm names 2013 'heroes' of the year.
Firstly I want to apologise for being so late with this (last) weeks blog. I want to try and post every Friday but last week we had a family occasion in New Plymouth and I didn't get time. Not too worry, here we go.... -------------------------------------- When Claire and I moved to Manakau we already knew some pig farmers nearby. Leanne and Darren run Kapiti Free Range with their son Reuben, their farm is in Te Horo just 10 mins south of us. After the six month long search for the farm was over I decided to give Leanne a call to tell her that we had found a farm and even better we were going to be neighbours. Leanne had told me months ago that she simply couldn't meet the demand for free range pork so I decided to ask if we would be able to work together, however life has a habit of throwing a curve ball and personal matters had become a priority for Leanne and they had made the very hard decision to sell their herd and stop farming altogether. This was initially a real disappointment and shock for me but Leanne and Darren were keen to help me set up and start the business and along with Reuben they have become excellent mentors. On Saturday 23rd November Leanne invited us to meet her at Hill Street Farmers market in Wellington. This was a great opportunity to see how the farmers market works, to meet the customers and to experience my future. [caption id="attachment_187" align="aligncenter" width="890"] Leanne and the Kapiti Free Range refrigerated stall at Hill Street Market.[/caption] I spent a good few hours watching the market stalls and seeing how Leanne worked the customers. She has an excellent rapport with her regulars and it was great to get to meet a few. People at the farmers market are there because they care about what they eat, they want to talk about it and a good few were excited to here that I was setting up a pig farm near Leanne. The sales part of my new life really excites me and I simply cant wait to get the pigs up and running so that I can start to market the pork, bacon, sausages and everything else. Marketing and sales is what I do and at least this part of being a farmer is not completely new to me so I already have a few innovative ideas about our Woody's Farm brand, the logo and how to market the different breeds that I will be raising. Part of this will be the 'Pig Day Out' experience where customers will be able to come and see the farm and really understand what goes into breeding pigs. Its really important to me that everyone becomes an integral part of the food chain and I am hoping to help that by showing people where their food is really coming from. So for now keep an eye out for Kapiti Free Range and I look forward to seeing you at a Farmers Market in March 2014.

Drugmakers are quick to tout the applications of new technology to better understand diseases, identify new treatments and reach patients in new ways. Some companies, like GlaxoSmithKline, are now also discovering that technology may hold the key to reducing the costs of clinical trials and capturing new real-world data sets, which may reduce the time and money it takes to bring a drug to market.
Michelle Crouthamel, project manager for digital trials at GlaxoSmithKline, told attendees at a mobile health conference held at The New York Academy of Sciences, in New York City, on Wednesday that mobile sensors and digital devices are a crucial part of the company's aim to reduce the costs of bringing drugs to market.
In response to that challenge, the company began developing a mobile health strategy at the end of 2013 that included using patient-centric endpoints in trials to better inform safety, efficacy and health outcomes, with a goal of making clinical trials cheaper and faster in the process.
The company first partnered with McLaren Applied Technologies, which is known more for its work with race cars than clinical trials. But through that collaboration, "GSK began using sensors for the first time in many clinical trials," Crouthamel shared.
GKS has used sensors with children in India to measure their physical activity, among other metrics, and researchers were able to collect high-quality data much more cheaply.
The company is measuring how active people are, the duration of their walks, and how often they are sitting and standing.
Other drugmakers have explored the use of wearables in patients, too. Biogen recently worked with PatientslikeMe to evaluate the use of fitness trackers in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Almost 300 clinical trials are using wearables to help gather data, according to a 2014 Bloomberg Business analysis of National Institutes of Health data.

2k: Some Importation Required: 1975 Fiat 1300
DailyTurismo Uncategorized 1300, Fiat, survivor 4
The Republic of Macedonia of is one of the pieces left over after the dissolution of the country formerly known as Yugoslavia, and is situated between Kosovo, Albania, Serbia and Greece. Ignoring the potential unpleasantness associated with the hundreds of years old Balkan conflicts, it sounds like a great place for a summer trip to pickup a classic car and drive it to a port city for shipment home. Find this 1975 Fiat 1300
offered for $2,000 buy-it-now or best offer, located in Macedonia via eBay. Tip from Christopher M.
The Fiat 1300 was medium sized sedan from the Italian automaker that was built from 1961 to 1967. Many derivatives of the 1300 were built around the world, including the SEAT 1500, Fiat 125, Polski Fiat 125p Zastava 1300.
The 1300 is powered by a 1.3 liter overhead valve inline-4 cylinder that is rated at 60 horsepower from the factory. Performance with the 4-speed manual transmission will be sluggish, but nothing out of the ordinary for a classic. Prepare to plan ahead and it won't be too bad.
The only issue with this car is if the seller is real or not. It could easily be a scammer, but you won't know until your money is long gone. Caveat emptor. Send us your tips! tips@dailyturismo.com
10k: Micro-Van: 1998 Daihatsu HiJet 5k: Rarely Seen: 1985 Toyota Celica GTS Convertible
There must be some airline mileage run with a stopover close enough to do an inspection.
Seriously, though, it's a cute car, but not cute enough to make me want to hassle with pulling that thing across the Mediterranean to get it here.
Christopher T. Mahoney says:
If Fiat ceased production of the 1300 in 1967, then what is this?
BigEgyptian says:
@Christopher Mahoney,
Probably one of the derivatives mentioned in the article:
SEAT 1500, Fiat 125, Polski Fiat 125p Zastava 1300
Derivative companies kept these cars in production long after Fiat retired them.
Egypt, where I grew up, got it's own version; the Nasr 1300
There was also the 1500, same body, just different tail lights.
You could see these cars running around the streets of Cairo until about 10 years ago; mostly with overhauled mechanicals scavenged from more modern Fiats (131s & 132s).
