"Yo, what was for breakfast" was the last message I sent you on Monday at 9:12 am after we spoke at 6am and you said you were going to have your bath. For the first time in my life, I experienced a ripping heart on Monday night, I woke up to throw up, I had tummy issues too, I just felt sick.
Maxwell, I am standing here amongst a crowd, but not to give communication tips, not to come out with a research finding, not to talk about Kindle Ghana Foundation but to read a letter to you because you chose to go to heaven and rest.
How you pushed me to be successful. You would say things like "B, do a research, don't let your only research be your thesis, B, when are you writing a book, B, I am waiting for you to get a good job so that my pay can relax for one year".
I don't regret many things my love. You wanted us to enjoy life and be happy. We always joked about poverty being a disease since it restricts people. We had plans my king, many many plans!. But when I think about you, I only smile because you are more than a piece of flesh circulating on social media. You were full of life, energy and vigour so I choose to remember you in that sense.
You would shout my name from the room when you heard a noise in the kitchen, you would say "B, are you ok? Sometimes I ignored it because I felt you ask too many 'are you Oks'. So now, who should I be making flavoured tea and lemons for? Your morning lemons were constant and although I sometimes felt it was a nuisance, I still did it without complaining.
You said thank you to me a million times, and when you finished eating, you would say you know why women live longer than men and that when a woman cooks a good meal, her husband blesses her.
You were spontaneous. We drove to Akosombo one evening just to have dinner by the river, and we did all sorts of things. Eheh, Maxwell, I won't tell you I am in a scarf before you tell God to let you come down and remove this scarf off my head. I won't even tell you I am in some black attire.
I love you and I always told you. I always reminded you of what you mean to me. You meant the world to me, my everything. But you were always too worried that you were not giving me the best of life. Seriously, I don't regret wanting you all to myself and that is why I can look back and smile today.
I promise to take swimming and tennis serious because this was your wish that one day, when you are not around, your kids will swim and play tennis just like you. But the way you added golf to your sports, am I supposed to learn golf too? You were a great husband, a great father, a great friend, a great son to your parents.
I am beginning to believe my prayers hindered you from going earlier, but this time, you just had to go because the Thursday before that Monday, I had gone to pray some powerful prayers for you at "Answer Time".
I am glad you saw me worthy to share your great but short life with you. I won't forget to tell the kids how heroic and great you were and are. Your memory will never die! You are not dead, you are still alive, alive in our hearts. I remember you sacrificing so much for me to do my Masters, I told you I appreciated that move very much but you said it was because you want me to be in a good standing to cater for the kids when you are no more. I always asked you "where at all do you think you are going".
I would jokingly say I will leave this earth before you then you would say that if that happens, it will cripple you and you would never get over it and care for the kids. You believed I am strong to handle the kids when you are no more and I will not disappoint you. You wanted me to do my PHD in some few years to come because you said it would be great for the kids to know that they have no excuse not to go to school.
I am glad I forced you to pray, I am glad I pushed you hard to go the extra mile for God but it was just too difficult sometimes. I wanted you to be a man after God's own heart, I wanted you to love and serve God wholeheartedly because that's what we are on earth for. It was as if I knew you would go soon because I always told you to read your bible, pray, have a clean heart and forgive. I always told you we have little time on earth and Junior Dufe can attest to this because I told him I felt you were not doing enough for God.
Dear Maxwell, you did your best. People were envious of you, you achieved a lot in your short time on earth. When everything settles, I will manage your Public Safety page on Facebook for you although I may make a mess out of it because I am not knowledgeable in security issues.
You said you believe your mission on earth is to take good care of me and Maxwell, even in your eternal sleep, you are doing just that. You are taking care of me, Jaden and Jerry. Your wish was to have a baby girl but I am sorry Jessica never happened. She would have had the best father on this earth.
My only regret is that we didn't plan for Jessica, she would have been beautiful, successful, outspoken like you. Note that she would have taken my hair and my eyes and eyelashes, she would have been tall like you and she would have been adventurous and above all, she would have been a great woman of God.
The years ahead will be full of memories but I wanted more than just memories, it's fine, I will manage. You wanted us to grow old together but God needs you where you are because there are too many obstacles and temptations here on earth. You are so safe I am glad.
I LOVE YOU is not a new word to you because I LOVE YOUs were always said in our house. This is a lesson to always love wholeheartedly while we have breath, choose love over strife, quarrels, jealousy, backbiting, etc. What at all do we want in this world that is not our home?
I will safely keep your tithe card and show to the children one day. I will take good care of them because this was your wish. I will try and let Jaden have your pistol because you always said that was your only proper property for Jaden.
My dear husband, gisting partner, advisor, teacher, mentor, Maxwell Adam Mahama, Rest in Perfect Peace.
As colleagues and friends, we at Reach for Change stand in mourning alongside Barbara, their family and our nation following the tragic and senseless death of Cpt. Maxwell Mahama. Maxwell was a loving man who cared deeply about his family, his nation and the world at large. His passion was his wife, his family and his country, and what drove his family was building a strong and resilient community and a fairer world.
To honour his memory we have set up a memorial education fund to help support the education of his two young boys with seed funding from Tigo Ghana and Reach for Change. The Maxwell Mahama Memorial Education fund will provide support to Barbara and her children to ensure their education is secured and the bright future that Maxwell worked so hard to provide, is not taken away from them. It will be managed by Databank Financial Services.
In the face of such senseless violence we want to invite the nation to take a stand and pledge against the horror of mob violence. This despicable act that occurred and has robbed a family of their husband, their father, their son is not an isolated act in this country, or indeed the world at large. The circumstances that lead to such horrific violence are deeply complex but as individuals we all must take responsibility to stand against horror and promote peace, in ourselves and those around us. Please pledge to never be involved in mob violence and to speak out if it should breakout around you.
We need to take time to look inside ourselves and our reactions to this tragedy. There are images circulating that depict Maxwell's final moments on this earth which we must emphatically call to be removed from public circulation. These images are so far removed from who Maxwell was, a man so full of life, so full of love and so full of humanity and their circulation not only dishonours his memory, but degrades the humanity of all of us.
Alongside his family and alongside the nation, we stand here in mourning. Let Maxwell's life not be in vain, let us use this grief to light a small candle in the cavernous darkness that is left behind where he once stood. Let us stand beside Barbara, her boys, his parents and family and promote love, harmony and a better future for all. Cpt Maxwell Mahama, may you rest in perfect peace.
In addition all donations to the Maxwell Mahama Memorial Education Fund can be made into a dedicated account that Databank Financial Services is managing. Money can be paid directly into the account below or via mobile money (Tigo Cash).

Nine Mile Canyon, Utah
News from Stone Pages (July 24.04): Court backs natural gas probe of Utah's Nine Mile Canyon
A federal judge gave the go-ahead Wednesday for a company to search for natural gas near Utah's Nine Mile Canyon, renowned for its ancient rock art, ruling that the work would not threaten the ancient etchings. U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan dismissed the challenge by the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance to the exploration plans in redrock slot canyons adjacent to Nine Mile Canyon, saying it failed to prove that damage would be done by the gas work.
Seismic exploration, using sound waves to penetrate the earth and search for gas deposits, is already under way in portions of the 57,000-acre project area. If the tests show a likelihood of gas in the area, then the company will file the necessary paperwork to develop the gas reserves. Diane Orr, a Salt Lake City photographer who has climbed and hiked Nine Mile Canyon photographing the rock art panels, said she already can see the difference in the area from the traffic that the exploration has spawned.
In May, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named Nine Mile Canyon area one of its most endangered places in the country because of the proposed gas development. The Bureau of Land Management says Nine Mile Canyon has more than 10,000 American Indian images etched into the canyon walls, making it the richest collection of rock paintings in the nation. Source: Salt Lake Tribune (22 July 2004)
The National Trust site, which has some images of the petroglyphs, states National Trust named Nine Mile Canyon one of America's 11 most endangered historic places…Located in a remote part of Utah, Nine Mile Canyon is often called 'the world's longest art gallery' as it contains more than 10,000 images carved onto canyon walls by Native Americans. This area is actually 40 miles long. These petroglyphs and pictographs are attributed to the Archaic, Fremont and Ute people begun about 1700 years ago.
The Religion & Ethics Newsweekly has an interview about how the drive for new energy development collides with the obligation to protect a sacred place.
Larry Sasputch, a spiritual leader of the Ute Indian tribe said: They call it rock art, because that's all it is to them. It's just like looking at our dances and stuff, that's entertainment — it's art, and that's as far as they carry it. They don't understand the symbolism. They don't understand the spirituality. All they understand is what they see…. It's really how native people think. Everything is connected to the Creator. This here is our church. These cliffs, they're as high as any cathedral. They're all natural. They're what God put here. All those other churches and cathedrals — that's man-made. This is already here.
Jerry Spangler is an archaeologist who has written a new roadside guide to the sacred sites of Nine Mile Canyon. Like others, he worries that the rumble from the seismic testing and the trucks and the dust will damage the carvings and drawings. He says,' I think the risk to Nine Mile is too great. [It] is unlike any other place I've ever read about, let alone known about. We know of approximately 1,000 sites in Nine Mile Canyon today. We think we have maybe 5 percent identified; that's absolutely amazing.'

Q: Run svnserve *and* git-shell on the *same* server? I have a repository server I've been tasked to manage (largely for academic purposes), and various groups would like to use git and others svn. Some people will need access to both repositories. I do not wish to give individual users shell access, but I couldn't find any way to make git-shell play nice with svn (or svnserve with git). Is there a way to do this? Perhaps some way of asking git-shell to pass an unrecognized command to svnserve with some trick of git-shell-commands?
What's the prescribed best practice for such a situation?

A: Not a problem, as long as you run them on different ports.
If you want them to both serve up the same repository, then it gets a bit more complicated.  Basically you have to emulate one with the other's libraries, and since they don't share the same underlying design decisions, such a simulation will have weak spots.
If you are discussing the lack of coordination of credential handling, then it is just a matter of making both svn and git delegate their credential checking to a specific purpose credential handling library (like pam, kerberos, or something).
Best practice is to delegate credential handling (authentication) to something else, but administer each repository separately, with svn users (but not their credentials) managed via svn configuration files (authorization), and git users (but not their credentials) managed via git configuration files (authorization).
In any case, I would not recommend combining authentication and authorization in the same product, even though it is probably the default way to configure them.  That's because it will only be a matter of time before one gets their passwords out-of-sync, and any "reset the password" work will need to be duplicated for each product, as well as each account.

A: Using git-shell, it is possible to allow access to git and svn by creating a user 'gitsvn', and then using git-shell as the gitsvn login shell. Create the following directory tree (with bare git repositories in 'gitroot' and svn repositories in 'svnroot').
gitsvn@server:~$ pwd
/home/gitsvn
gitsvn@server:~$ ls -l *
gitroot:
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 7 gitsvn gitsvn 4096 Jan  5 17:17 test

git-shell-commands:
total 4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 gitsvn gitsvn 52 Jan  5 17:22 help
lrwxrwxrwx 1 gitsvn gitsvn 17 Jan  5 16:22 svnserve -> /usr/bin/svnserve

svnroot:
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 6 gitsvn gitsvn 4096 Jan  5 16:23 test3

gitsvn@server:~$ cat git-shell-commands/help
#!/usr/bin/python

print """
Restricted shell.
"""

gitsvn@server:~$

The repositories can be accessed in this way:
ruser@client:/tmp/svnc$ svn checkout svn+ssh://gitsvn@server/home/gitsvn/svnroot/test3
gitsvn@server's password:
A    test3/it
Checked out revision 1.

ruser@client:/tmp/svnc$ git clone gitsvn@server:/home/gitsvn/gitroot/test
Cloning into 'test'...
gitsvn@server's password:
remote: Counting objects: 3, done.
remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Receiving objects: 100% (3/3), done.
Checking connectivity... done.

I believe that git-shell provides basic security from the git side. Once you place arbitrary applications in git-shell-commands, however, all bets are off. So depending on your security situation, it might be worth writing an argument-checking wrapper around svnserve to prevent malicious svn clients from passing arbitrary arguments to svnserve.

Hatta  (), in passato nota come Hajarain, Al Hajerin o Al Hajeran, è una comunità dell'Emirato di Dubai, negli Emirati Arabi Uniti. È un'exclave dell'emirato che si trova a sud-est dal suo territorio principale. Amministrativamente fa parte del Settore 8.

Storia

Nel XIX secolo Hajarain (l'antico nome di Hatta) apparteneva al Sultanato di Mascate e Oman, come del resto tutta l'area del Wadi Hatta. Intorno al 1870, durante il regno di Azzan bin Qais, gli abitanti di Hajarain entrarono in conflitto con la vicina Masfout (attuale exclave dell'Emirato di Ajman) che era sostenuta dai Na'im di Buraimi. Successivamente, durante il regno di Turki bin Sa'id, non riuscendo questi a difendere Hajarain dalle aggressioni dei Na'im, cedette il suo territorio allo sceicco di Dubai Hasher bin Maktoum.

Fino al 1906 fu usato il nome Hajarain, ma negli anni successivi si cominciò ad usare il nome Hatta.

Al tempo il possedimento di Hatta, pur non essendo contiguo con il resto del territorio di Dubai, fu di grande importanza strategica per l'emirato che, stretto fisicamente e politicamente fra due potenze, l'Emirato di Abu Dhabi e sud-ovest che dominava l'area desertica da Liwa a Buraimi e la fascia costiera, e la tribu Qawasim a nord, che dominavano la maggior parte dei territori, compresi gli sceiccati di Sharjah e Ras al-Khaimah, era alla perenne ricerca di alleati.

Nel 1955 ci fu una disputa sui confini fra gli Stati della Tregua e l'Oman. Successivamente, quando il diplomatico britannico Julian Fortay Walker fu incaricato di definire i confini fra gli sceiccati appartenenti al protettorato britannico degli Stati della Tregua, venne confermato che il tratto occidentale del Wadi Hatta, comprendente Hajarain, Qima e Hail così come Suhailah, fu concessa a Dubai dal sultano di Oman intorno al 1870 in cambio di servizi resi. In seguito, durante la fase di unificazione degli emirati, Hatta è stata definitivamente riconosciuta come sezione territoriale sotto la giurisdizione dell'emirato di Dubai.

Hatta ha una posizione strategica importante, lungo una delle più antiche rotte commerciali seguite dalle carovane che dal golfo Persico si dirigevano verso l'Oman e il relativo golfo attreverso i Monti Ḥajar. Grazie ad essa Dubai può controllare il confine internazionale fra gli Emirati e l'Oman. A questo proposito nel 2012 il governo di Dubai ha costruito il valico di frontiera di Hatta. L'edificio principale è costituito da un'area di attesa per arrivi, partenze, uffici del personale, sale riunioni, mensa, uffici delle compagnie assicurative e sale break per i dipendenti. Vi sono quattro edifici del gate di partenza dagli Emirati Arabi Uniti e cinque edifici per gli arrivi dall'Oman, più altri cinque edifici della dogana, posti di blocco sui due ingressi del varco da entrambi i lati e una sala scanner per veicoli.

Nel 2021 l'emiro di Dubai Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktum ha lanciato il Piano di sviluppo di Hatta (Hatta Master Development Plan) come parte del piano regolatore urbano di Dubai 2040. Il Piano mira anche a trasformare Hatta in un'attraente destinazione locale e internazionale per affari, investimenti e turismo.

I progetti più significativi del piano includono: realizzazione di piste ciclabili e per mountain bike, soluzioni per razionalizzare il traffico e migliorare la mobilità verso e all'interno dell'area, un programma per sostenere gli agricoltori locali e generare opportunità di business per la gente di Hatta, la costruzione dell'Hatta Souq, un mercato per i prodotti locali, la realizzazione di un lago artificiale con relativa spiaggia Hatta Beach e lungolago con strutture per il tempo libero e l'intrattenimento, la riqualificazione dell'Hatta Heritage Village e dei monumenti storici della zona.

Territorio

Il territorio della comunità occupa una superficie di 128,8 km² che si trova nell'entroterra a circa 135 km a sud-est dal centro di Dubai.

L'exclave di Hatta si trova lungo la E 44, detta anche Dubai-Hatta Road. Confina con l'exclave di Masfut dell'emirato di Ajman a ovest, con il territorio distaccato dell'emirato di Ras al-Khaimah a nord e con lo stato dell'Oman a est ed a sud.

Hatta è situata lungo il Wadi Hatta, alle pendici dei Monti Hajar da cui deriva il suo antico nome Hajarain.

Grazie ai numerosi progetti lanciati nel nuovo piano di sviluppo di Hatta previsti all'interno del piano regolatore urbano di Dubai 2040, Hatta si sta avviando a diventare una destinazione ecoturistica internazionale. Il piano è infatti impostato per soddisfare i più elevati standard globali e di sostenibilità sia nella progettazione che nella costruzione. I materiali utilizzati sono scelti specificamente per essere ecologicamente sani, assicurando che non ci sia alcun impatto negativo sull'ecosistema.

A causa della sua maggiore altitudine il clima di Hatta in estate risulta più asciutto e con qualche grado in meno rispetto al resto di Dubai. Per contro in inverno le temperature possono essere sensibilmente più basse.

I principali punti di riferimento dell'area sono:

 Hatta Heritage Village. È un antico villaggio di montagna del XVI secolo che è stato restaurato nel 2001 dalla Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (DCAA), allo scopo di mostrare e preservare la cultura e le antiche tradizioni delle popolazioni locali. Il villaggio contiene circa 30 edifici che sono stati restaurati utilizzando materiali originali utilizzato per la costruzione iniziale quali legno, argilla, paglia, fronde di palma, canne e pietra. Molti edifici contengono arredi interni, utensili, abiti, armi, strumenti musicali e di artigianato, tipici degli Emirati Arabi Uniti nel periodo precedente allo sviluppo negli anni '60. Fra gli edifici ve ne sono alcuni particolarmente significativi:
 Bait al Wali: la casa del capo del villaggio. È composta dalle camere da letto, le stanze dei bambini, la cucina e i cortili.
 Casa tradizionale. Rappresenta le abitazioni tradizionali del luogo. Comprende un grande cortile al centro, un majlis, una camera matrimoniale, una camera per bambini, un magazzino, un cucina e una stalla per il ricovero di animali come pecore, mucche e altri.
 Casa dell'Arte Popolare. Comprende una Poets Majlis che mostra esempi di poesia popolare Nabati  e una sala della musica che consente di conoscere danze e arti popolari negli Emirati e  modelli di strumenti musicali utilizzati nella regione.
 Casa della vita sociale. Comprende la sala del consiglio (majlis) e un'altra sala che mostra immagini della vita sociale, costumi e tradizioni popolari degli abitanti della regione, oltre a una sala che illustra caratteristiche di convivenza con l'ambiente
 Casa artigianale tradizionale. La casa mostra esempi di artigianato tradizionale praticato in passato nella regione di Hatta, come lavorazioni del metallo, profumi, tessuti, e altri prodotti artigianali per i quali la zona è famosa.
 Casa dei prodotti di palma. Espone campioni di fronde di palma e di tutti i prodotti ricavati dalle palme che vengono coltivate nella regione. E' esposta anche la macchina utilizzata nella produzione della melassa di datteri, e illustrato mil processo di produzione.
 Casa del restauro. Mostra le fasi del restauro dell'Hatta Heritage Village.

All'interno del villaggio, oltre alle antiche case restaurate, si trovano: una vecchia moschea (Moschea Al Shariah) costruita circa 200 anni fa, anch'essa restaurata nel 2001 e un forte costruito dallo sceicco Hasher bin Maktum nel 1896. Il villaggio è dominato da due torri di avvistamento, costruite nel 1888, che si trovano a nord e a sud del villaggio.
 Hatta Fort Hotel. È un hotel a 4 stelle dotato di 55 stanze e suite di varie dimensioni, piscina, bar e ristoranti, centro ricreativo e palestra. L'hotel dispone anche di ville con 3 camere da letto per famiglie numerose, dotate di giardino privato, vasca idromassaggio e parcheggio gratuito. Inoltre, i visitatori possono anche accedere alle strutture ricreative disponibili nell'hotel come tiro con l'arco, minigolf, kayak e mountan bike.
 Moschea Juma, detta anche Hatta Grand Mosque. Costruita nel 1789 è l'edificio più antico di Dubai;
 Giardino delle api. L'Hatta Honeybee Garden and Discovery Center è stato fondato alla fine del 2018. È il primo giardino specializzato in Medio Oriente e Nord Africa che offre tour, workshop e progetti pratici per aiutare i visitatori a scoprire il fantastico mondo delle api mellifere. Il santuario delle api copre un'area di 16.000 metri quadrati e contiene 300 alveari. Ospita anche centinaia di alberi indigeni ed esotici. Il centro oltre ad essere il primo in tutto il golfo Persico per l'allevamento di api e la produzione di miele, è in grado di educare i visitatori sulla storia dell'apicoltura della regione, sul ruolo delle api come contributori chiave dell'ecosistema mondiale, e sull'importanza di preservare queste creature. Il centro conduce inoltre ricerche finalizzate alla realizzazione di una apicoltura sostenibile. All'interno del centro è presente un museo che illustra gli strumenti utilizzati per l'apicoltura, nonche la storia dello sviluppo nel tempo dei vari tipi di alveari.
 Lago di Hatta e diga. Si tratta di un lago artificiale formato da una diga costruita negli anni '90, che si trova a circa 4 km dal centro di Hatta in direzione sud-ovest. La diga è comunemente detta Hatta Dam, ma il suo vero nome è diga di Al Hattawi. La diga e il lago si trivano a circa 400 metri di altitudine sul livello del mare. La diga fu costruita per dotare Hatta di una fonte affidabile e continua nel tempo di acqua. Non tempo tuttavia il lago formatosi è diventato anche una attrazione per i turisti che visitano Hatta. Qui oltre a godere della bellezza del luogo si possono fare escursioni a piedi, in mountan bike o si puo affittare un kayak o una barca o moto d'acqua e avventurarsi nel lago.
 Centrale idroelettrica di Hatta. Nell'ambito del programma Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 (Strategia per l'energia pulita di Dubai 2050), lanciato nel 2015, in base al quale Dubai mira a produrre il 75% del proprio fabbisogno energetico da fonti pulite entro il 2050, è stato avviato un progetto per la realizzazione di una centrale idroelettrica di 250 MW ad Hatta. Il contratto è stato affidato alla Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), che ha redatto il progetto iniziale nel 2017, completato la progettazione nel 2018 e iniziato i lavori di costruzione nel 2019. Il completamento dell'opera con la messa in esercizio della centrale sono attesi per il 2024. La centrale idroelettrica è del tipo a pompaggio (Pumped Hydroelectric Energy Storage o PHES) ed è costituita da un serbatoio inferiore e uno superiore. Durante le ore non di punta, l'acqua dal serbatoio inferiore verrà pompata al serbatoio superiore con l'ausilio di pompe alimentate con l'energia solare proveniente dal parco solare Mohammed bin Rashid Maktoum sito in Saih Al Dahal. Durante le ore di punta, l'acqua immagazzinata nel serbatoio superiore verrà rilasciata nel serbatoio inferiore azionando le turbine per generare elettricità. La centrale è progettata per raggiungere l'80% di efficienza del ciclo di generazione e stoccaggio di energia entro 90 secondi dalla domanda di elettricità di picco. Il serbatoio inferiore è il bacino artificiale formato dall'attuale diga Al Hattawi, che ha una capacità di circa 6.500 milioni di litri di acqua, mentre il serbatoio superiore, da realizzare, avrà la capacità di circa 3.300 milion di litri di acqua. La distanza fra i due serbatoi è di circa 4 km. Il serbatoio superiore verrà realizzato con una diga posta a 700 m slm, quindi 300 metri più in alto dell'attuale. A giugno 2022 il primo muro della diga superiore, alto 37 metri, era stato completato e sono in corso i lavori per il muro principale della diga, alto 70 metri.

8 Year Old Dead After Taking Polio Vaccine
vaxxter.com
by Cdc Global Health
An 8 year old boy in Laos is now dead after taking a polio oral vaccine. The child immediately suffered paralysis after the vaccination and ended up dying 5 days following.
Laos has been polio free since 1993, which begs the question: is the vaccine reviving the illness? If so, get ready, because the WHO and CDC have activated emergency immunization efforts which means we can expect a lot more vaccinating.

BEFORE inviting parents via secret Facebook groups to send children to "vaccination-free" Victorian kinders you wonder if anyone consulted people such as Toni and David McCaffery or Catherine and Greg Hughes.

Farmington education officials have updated policies regarding vaccination and immunization in compliance with new state requirements.

Traveling Americans at Risk for Hepatitis A, Measles
medscape.com
by Marcia Frellick
SAN DIEGO, California - Many Americans are not getting the recommended vaccines before traveling to avoid infections such as measles and hepatitis A, according to two new studies.
Lack of vaccination was due to both provider (52%) and patient (48%) decisions. Providers most frequently deemed the vaccination "not indicated" because of the itinerary or referred the patient to a primary care provider. Patients often refused vaccination because they were not concerned about illness, the study authors report.
A family destroyed: Six-month-old dies after clinic injects baby with 13 vaccines at once without mother's informed consent
by Celia Farber
When her son Bently was six months old, she took him in for a round of vaccinations to his local clinic, in Fort Worth, Texas, where she lived then...
She began to speak, and tell her shocking story. When her son Bently was six months old, she took him in for a round of vaccinations to his local clinic, in Fort Worth, Texas, where she lived then. She had delayed giving him his two-month shots, so his immune system could develop a bit more, and she felt confident that he would fare better now that he was six months old. The pediatrician that day was telling her how important vaccinations were, and how many children died without them in his native country in Africa. He described how mothers would line up to get the shots for their babies, and that many had to have 10 children, just to have a few that survived infancy. Totally unbeknownst to his mother, Bently received a staggering 13 vaccinations that day, including two triple doses of DTap, Hepatitis B, a polio shot, three oral rotavirus doses, and a pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine. It was all compressed into three shots and one oral dose. It took the nurses half an hour to prepare all the shots Bently received. The pediatrician told Alisa that her boy perfectly healthy-that he showed above average strength in his stomach and legs.

Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) has announced that county health departments will begin offering flu vaccines statewide on Monday in preparation for the flu season.
Of the 114 flu deaths reported in Oklahoma, 86 of them were seniors over age 65. In the same age group, there were 1,354 hospitalizations in the state as a result of flu. The total of Oklahoma flu-related hospitalizations numbered 2,299 for 2014-2015. In the United States, flu season generally starts in October and tapers off around May. Seasonal flu activity usually peaks in January or February.
Thundering herd: California's anti-vaccine brigade and the dark side of individualism
economist.com
by Clicking This Button
DR BOB SEARS, a paediatrician from Orange County, California, does not like to call his patients "free-riders". True, he specialises in treating vaccine-sceptics, those families who resent being told to immunise their children against nasty diseases.
What Dr Bob does like to say is that, right now, many parents are very upset. This is because state legislators recently passed America's strictest vaccination law. This not only mandates a fixed regime of vaccinations for children who wish to attend public or private school. It also eliminates a parent's right to a Personal Belief Exemption (PBE), a claim that they cannot vaccinate children for religious or philosophical reasons.
I Was Told To Ask the 'Older' Generation About Vaccines...So I Did
livingwhole.org
by Megan Heimer
If you're young, and you don't support vaccines, you've probably been told at least a few dozen times that the reason you don't vaccinate is because you've had the luxury of living in a time where "vaccine preventable diseases" aren't prevalent.
Just ask a grandparent or someone who had polio and they'll tell you the story of how vaccines saved the day and just how devastating measles and chicken pox really were. Their testimonies are valid...unless of course you actually have a grandparent whose lived an entire century and can tell you how things really were, or you have a friend who had polio and doesn't support the polio vaccine. Their testimonies don't count.

CHC 1157
Art. 1157. Reclaiming of parental rights by the relinquishing parent; hearing
A. A relinquishing parent may reclaim parental rights by proving by clear and convincing evidence that:
(1) He is the parent of the child.
(2) Setting aside the relinquishment and permitting the parent to reclaim the child is in the child's best interests.
B. If the court finds that the relinquishment should be set aside and that the parent may reclaim his parental rights, then the parent shall prove also that he has manifested a substantial commitment to his parental responsibilities and that he is a fit parent of the child.
C. The child, the other parent, and the legal custodian may offer rebuttal evidence limited to the issues enumerated in Paragraphs A and B of this Article.
D. If the court finds that the parent has established his parental rights, the court shall declare that no adoption may be granted without his consent. The court may also order the parent to reimburse the department, or whoever has assumed liability for such costs, all or part of the medical expenses incurred for the infant in connection with his birth and care.
E. If the court finds that the parent has failed to establish his parental rights, it shall declare that his rights are terminated.
Acts 2003, No. 609, §2.


What is a seeker friendly church? Is yours one?
tell us Link Hudson have you been to any lately ?
To me it is a church that waters everything down, both Word and Spirit, so as not to offend or turn off newcomers. I prefer a God-friendly church, peaching the full counsel of God and letting the gifts flow.
If they are truly seeking, that will turn them on, not off, as they, maybe for the first time, experience God in their midst. That's what happened with me 45 years ago, and I have never looked back since. Experiencing the presence of God corporately spoils a person permanently for anything else. If that turns them off, they just aren't ready.
I'd rather have a few commited saints who appreciate the move of God, serve willingly, and who bring the Good News to those in their circle of influence between services, than a church full of pew-sitters doing their supposed duty.
Ive been to several lately and it felt very different to say the least. Not saying bad just different.
surely you did not post this during church hours?

Quebec election: Legault says CAQ would table a bill to protect Indigenous languages
30 September 2022 by admin
Following up on Bill 96 overhauling the Charter of the French Language, François Legault now says a CAQ government would aim to present a new bill protecting Indigenous languages.
CAQ Leader François Legault (centre) meets with residential school survivors Johnny Wylde (right) and Édouard Kistabish (left) in Saint-Marc-de-Figuery on Friday, Sept. 30, 2022. Photo by Patrice Bergeron /THE CANADIAN PRESS
AMOS — François Legault opened the door Friday to more language reforms if he is re-elected, but this time they would be to protect those spoken by Quebec's Indigenous peoples.
Arriving for a ceremony marking National Truth and Reconciliation Day in his capacity as premier, Legault was warmly greeted by community leaders, but some said that while Quebec's Indigenous Peoples are part of Quebec, they at times feel ignored including in this election.
Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Montreal Gazette, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.
The next issue of Montreal Gazette Headline News will soon be in your inbox.
"I can promise you if I am chosen we are going to spend more time with you," Legault said, responding to residential school survivor Édouard Kistabish after he mentioned the lack of interest in Indigenous issues by all the parties.
"We need to know each other better and try to move forward together, as equals, nation to nation, community to community."
Legault then added that on top of agreements that he wants to sign with all the communities to improve economic, health and education issues, he has heard calls to help protect and promote Indigenous languages.
"As for protecting your language, we are well placed to understand this with the situation of French in North America," Legault said.
Kistabish recalled that when he was forced to become a student at what was then the Saint-Marc-de-Figuery residential school as a seven-year-old, the Algonquin language was not taught by the religious community running the school. He also suffered physical abuse and witnessed sexual abuse.
During last spring's committee hearings examining Bill 96 overhauling the Charter of the French Language, Indigenous leaders told Legault's Coalition Avenir Québec government that the legislation posed a threat to their communities because of the stricter French education rules.
They specifically asked to be exempted from the bill and vowed to fight it in the courts.
After the government rejected any special status for the communities and insisted Bill 96 does not affect Indigenous Peoples, Québec solidaire co-spokesperson Manon Massé tried to table an amendment to the bill to protect Indigenous languages in much the same way Bill 101 protects French.
That, too, was rejected by the minister responsible for Bill 96, Simon Jolin-Barrette. Later, Quebec Indigenous Affairs Minister Ian Lafrenière said Quebec would find solutions to their concerns.
On Friday, Legault took it a step further, making finding a solution an election promise. He said while French will always be vulnerable, the language situation for many Indigenous communities "is much more critical than French."
"We have to help Indigenous communities to ensure their children and grandchildren keep their original languages, native languages," Legault said at his morning news conference. "I am ready to make an effort, even invest. If I put myself in their shoes, I would say it's important to protect these languages.
"We are open and would like to work on that in another bill," Legault said. "Bill 96 was to protect French. It wasn't to protect Indigenous languages, but in another bill, in the next mandate, we are very open to negotiate this with the Indigenous people."
The fragile status of many Indigenous languages has been well documented with some efforts — especially in some schools — to keep them from disappearing. There are nine languages still in use: Montagnais, Naskapi, Inuktitut, Cree, Algonquin, Atikamekw, Mohawk, Abenaki and Micmac.
There are 11 Indigenous nations in Quebec spread out in 55 communities.
Legault's day started with a visit to the site of the former Saint-Marc-de-Figuery residential school near Amos in the Abitibi region, about 600 kilometres northwest of Montreal.
The school operated from 1955 to 1973 when it was closed and demolished. It was one of 12 such schools operated in Canada by the religious orders and the federal government. On his visit to Canada and Quebec in August, Pope Francis expressed sorrow and apologized for what happened in those schools.
All that remains of the school are the original steps with a monument in front. Legault added a child's pair of slippers to the pile of shoes and stuffed toys already in place before standing silently for a short prayer.

UNDISCLOSED LOCATION --- 2nd Low Altitude Air Defense Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems Detachment, attached to Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force Crisis Response – Central Command, tested a new Counter Unmanned Aerial System during a live-fire range using the Marine Air Defense Integrated System in Camp Buehring, Kuwait.
In early 2013, commercial off the shelf drones started appearing in United Sates Central Command's area of operations. At that time, commercial drones had a flight time of fifteen minutes; negating a substantial threat.
It was not until a drone was shot down in 2015, that the U.S. discovered enemy combatants were utilizing drones to conduct intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance against U.S. forces.
Every year, a new generation of drones hits the shelves boasting longer ranges, better cameras, and intricate features that can be modified, exploited and weaponized. Combatants have even gone as far as modifying consumer drones capable of carrying and dropping homemade ordnance to military grade payloads at specific locations.
The Department of Defense defines CUAS as a system that can detect, track, identify, and defeat an Unmanned Aerial System. This CUAS increment of the MADIS is driving the deployment of future MADIS increments, which enhance LAAD's current capability to counter manned aviation.
The MADIS is the first CUAS with systems in place capable of all four objectives. This is an improvement upon previous CUAS systems such as the Drone Defender and Drone Buster; both hand-held, point-directional CUAS systems which rely heavily on the Marine operators. The MADIS was developed specifically to combat the weaponized commercial drone development. It is equipped with state-of-the-art sensors, optics to track and monitor targets at extensive ranges, and kinetic capabilities to physically disable a UAS on approach.
"This is the first time that fleet marines are going to be utilizing the MADIS to go through the full kill-chain from detection to destruction with kinetic and non-kinetic means in a forward location." said Capt. Traver Mayfield, the 2nd LAAD CUAS Detachment officer in charge.
Marines with the 2nd LAAD CUAS Battalion provide close-in, low-altitude, surface-to-air weapons fire in defense of forward combat areas in the Central Command area of operations. LAAD is confident and ready to combat the makeshift air force.
2nd LAAD's update from conventional aircraft defense to more non-conventional aerial threats put more Marines in the fight and enhances regional theater security.

The Lemoine Affair
实体书 The Lemoine Affair
Author : Proust, Marcel
Their friend Marcel Proust had killed himself after the fall in diamond shares, a collapse that annihilated a part of his fortune. This is the first-ever translation into English of this startling tour-de-force by one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. The Lemoine Affair was inspired by the real-life French scandal involving Henri Lemoine, who claimed he could manufacture diamonds from coal and convinced numerous people—including officers of the De Beers diamond mine company and Proust himself—to invest in the scheme. In a series of pastiches—imitations written in the style of other writers—Proust tells the story of the embarrassment rippling across high society Paris in the wake of the scandal, poking fun at himself (in one story, a character declares that Marcel Proust is so embarrassed he's suicidal) while lampooning some of France's greatest writers, including Flaubert, Balzac, and Saint-Simon. Full of sophisticated wit and dazzling wordplay, and rife with allusions to his friend and fictional characters, many Proust scholars see the dead-on mimicry of The Lemoine Affair —written soon after Proust's rejection of society life—as the work by which he honed his own unique, masterly voice. The Art of The Novella Series Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers. Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time.


Consumer legislation doesn't protect the consumer in the end. Rather, it benefits the consumer advocates, including reformers, special interest groups, and regulatory agencies. What does protect the consumer? Alternative sources of supply at variable prices are the inevitable result of international competition—free trade.
So what are the results? Take a listen, in the podcast Milton Friedman Speaks – Who Protects the Consumer?

One in every 69 people in Ireland had Covid-19 during last two weeks
Tomas Doherty
One in 69 people in the Republic had coronavirus during the last two weeks, the latest figures show.
The national 14-day incidence rate for Covid-19 now stands at 1,448.8 cases per 100,000 people, according to the Department of Health.
That equates to just under 1.5 per cent of the population, or one in 69 people, testing positive for the disease between December 30th and January 12th.
This comes as 63 more coronavirus-related deaths were recorded on Wednesday, along with an additional 3,569 new cases.
Monaghan has the highest 14-day incidence rate in the country at 2,738.4 cases per 100,000, followed by Louth at 2,323 and Limerick at 2,068.3.
There are currently 1,838 patients in hospital with the virus, with 176 people in intensive care units.
The positivity rate among people tested for Covid-19 is now at 17.9 per cent, down from a peak of 22.7 per cent last week. The World Health Organisation recommends the rate should remain below 5 per cent for at least two weeks before public health measures are relaxed.
More than 167,000 tests have been carried out in the State over the past seven days.
The Mid Ulster council district is the worst hit area in the North, with an incidence rate of 1,562.3 cases per 100,000 people over the last 14 days.
The next highest rate is in the Armagh City, Banbrdige and Craigavon area, with 1534.2 cases per 100,000.
On Wednesday another 1,145 people tested positive for Covid-19 in Northern Ireland and 19 more deaths were reported, according to the region's Department of Health.

Dave Bautista says a sad goodbye to Guardians of the Galaxy's Drax
As Guardians of the Galaxy 3 wraps filming, actor Dave Bautista has said an emotional farewell to his MCU character Drax the Destroyer
Jakob Barnes
So, the good news is, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has wrapped filming, but the bad news is, Dave Bautista and Drax the Destroyer look like they're done with the MCU. The actor recently shared an emotional message after the production concluded on the upcoming MCU movie, to bid a farewell to his beloved character.
Since the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie in 2014, Marvel fans have revelled in the hilarious antics of Drax and his fellow space-travelling heroes. With the trilogy of comic book comedy movies coming to an end next year, it's already been made clear by director James Gunn that the band of misfits have pretty much reached the end of the line.
Now, in a recent Instagram post on his social media account, Bautista has seemingly confirmed that Drax the Destroyer, the loveable beast with the most literal sense of humour in the galaxy, will not be a part of the MCU timeline after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is released. It remains to be seen exactly how this exit will go down, though.
Bautista shared an image of himself along with Guardians co-stars Sean Gunn, Pom Klementieff, Chris Pratt, Karen Gillan, and the sci-fi movie's director, James Gunn. The gang are all smiles, as they sit in a bar, without their trademark Marvel make-up and costumes.
"Haven't found the words yet. It ended so suddenly and I was on to my next film before I could process it all. End of a journey that changed my life," Bautista captioned the post. He also added a few hashtags, most notably one which said "GoodbyeDrax."

It makes sense that Bautista would be one of the actors to depart the MCU to be fair. By the time he has appeared in Thor: Love and Thunder later this year, then the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, and the third Guardians movie next year, he will have appeared in seven MCU movies over the course of nine years.

Flickr photo by LingshaSkin looking a little dull?
I don't know about you, but my face is beyond blah.
It needs a little pick-me-up to get that summery glow.
For that, I turn to my fridge for papaya, yogurt, and honey.
Green papaya that's unripe has natural alpha hydroxy acids and an enzyme that dissolves dead skin cells.
Add a little yogurt for the lactic acid, which is also an alpha hydroxy, and honey for moisture and you've got yourself one heck of a brightening skin mask.
Apply to clean skin using fingers; leave on for 8 to 10 minutes.
Rinse off using cool water and pat dry.
Finish by applying a gentle moisturizer.
Would you use fruits and veggies on your skin?

The Honourable Chrystia Freeland, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Federica Mogherini, High Representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission, yesterday concluded the Women Foreign Ministers' Meeting – a unique gathering of women foreign ministers from around the world.
Women foreign ministers highlighted the benefits that come from integrating a gender perspective in approaches to foreign and security policies, and from their shared desire to promote the meaningful participation of women at all levels of decision making and leadership.
They discussed how everyone, regardless of their gender, must be able to contribute to and benefit equally from political, economic, social and cultural life. The foreign ministers demonstrated a commitment to take an active approach to advancing this shared vision, and discussed a number of strategies they are already pursuing to advance these objectives.
A recurrent theme was their strong commitment to collaboratively reinforce and reform the rules-based international order so that it can best respond to the multiple challenges their countries and citizens face and effectively advance democracy, human rights, peace and human development around the world. Their discussions were enhanced by the diversity of perspectives that were brought to bear.
Women foreign ministers pledged to work together to reiterate their common position and shared values, and to advocate together for the consolidation of strong democracies, which are indispensable in order to ensure peace, security, more resilient societies and sustainable development. They also pledged to continue to work with their colleagues to build a network of governments and civil society organizations to advance gender equality and women's rights, and to work toward implementing existing commitments.
"This meeting allows us to send a powerful message to the world: that all women, regardless of their level of involvement in the development of their societies, have a key role to play in finding solutions to the political, economic and social challenges facing our societies. I am so glad and grateful that my colleagues from all over the world were able to join us to talk about how we can do more together. I truly believe that this is really just the beginning."
- Hon. Chrystia Freeland, P.C., M.P., Minister of Foreign Affairs
"The reason why, with Chrystia Freeland, we have convened this first meeting of women Foreign Ministers is because women are generally perceived as victims: victims of conflict, victims of violence. And, indeed, they are in many parts of the world - everywhere the world. But they are also key players in society, in the economy, in institutions, in foreign policy, in defence and many other issues. So we wanted to start showing the 'new normal': many women in power, taking responsibility for decisions. While representing diverse societies and perspectives, we all agreed that women's political and economic empowerment is critical to building a more prosperous, inclusive and safer world."
- High Representative/Vice-President Federica Mogherini
Over the course of two days, the foreign ministers discussed a number of pressing global issues under the themes of:
women's empowerment, political participation and leadership;
strengthening democracy and resilience in peaceful and inclusive societies;
advancing global peace, security and prosperity within the framework of a rules-based international order; and
global work to eliminate all forms of gender-based violence, including in conflict and post-conflict settings.
In this context, the ministers also examined a number of specific situations of geopolitical interest, including Syria, Ukraine, Myanmar, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
Women foreign ministers were joined for a portion of their deliberations by G7 counterpart Taro Kono, Japan's Foreign Minister, experts and representatives of civil society, including women's rights activists and peacebuilders.

Steven L Mansberger, MD, MPH, discusses the criteria for when to add MIGS to cataract surgery to treat glaucoma: efficacy, cost, and risk of complications. While MIGS' 20% success rates seem small, it's important to identify those patients who benefit from this low-risk procedure. MIGS has a less than 5% complication rate, which can make it a good choice for patients with a low tolerance for side effects.


The call of the Holy Grail.
The last slap by the Femme Fatale of winter.
Hear the pull a sucking sound? Feel the pull inward, a crazy fruitful feeling. This is a time of being pulled in. Blame it on the solar system. A time to get pregnant, a time to consider those feelings you have been ignoring. We are being seduced by forces stronger than we will ever know!!
The gibbous waning moon is in Scorpius today, February 24, and this is causing a really unbelievable maximizing sucking action. WOW! The moon is disrobing herself and is about to jump into the ocean of Neptune. A riptide pulls her in towards a new moon; towards Pisces on March 1st and the 2nd. Venus and Pluto are only enjoying this love affair with our unconscious mind…a good show!!
The sun comes in to break up the party and the moon steps out of her Lilith encounter. March and Spring are on the way after this inward journey.
So prepare yourselves. If not I suggest a lot of Maker's Mark to kill the pain because this dame is going to ask you who you are, and if you don't tell her, she will tell you, herself…up close too…pretty good work for a pushy dame!!

Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement Project
The Gerald Desmond Bridge is a vital part of U.S. trade infrastructure — 15 percent of the nation's waterborne cargo is trucked over it annually — and a critical access route for commuters between the Port of Long Beach and surrounding communities.
The new cable-stayed Gerald Desmond Bridge has been built 140 feet from and in replacement of the old through-arch bridge built in the 1960s, to accommodate today's larger cargo ships and the dramatic increase in trucking traffic with the growth of the Port of Long Beach (POLB).
Project Featured in the 2020 Annual Report

~ 8,800 ft ~ 8,800 ft
The Gerald Desmond Bridge spans the Port's access Channel (the Back Channel) with a deck rising 205 feet above the water. Excluding approach structures, the bridge is 2,000-foot-long, with the main span 1,000-foot-long from tower to tower. The sleek, cable-stayed bridge includes additional traffic lanes in each direction for improved traffic flow; emergency lanes on both the inner and outer shoulders in each direction to reduce traffic delays and safety hazards from accidents and vehicle breakdowns; a higher clearance to accommodate larger cargo ships; a reduction in the bridge's steep grades for further improvements to traffic flow; and a dedicated bicycle path and pedestrian walkway, including scenic overlooks.
With two towers reaching 515 feet into the sky, it is the second-tallest cable-stayed bridge in the United States. Utility relocation was one of the most significant efforts. Major utilities impacted included high-pressure gas, water, sewer, telephone, fiber-optics, electrical, and storm drain. Extensive coordination of project delivery efforts with oil well and pipeline relocations, abandonments and re-abandonments was also necessary to build the project.
WSP USA provided program management and construction management services for the project on behalf of the POLB. WSP oversaw and managed the design-build contract that POLB signed with a design-builder for the development of the project. Building the new bridge generated 3,000 construction-related jobs. The bridge opened to traffic in October 2020.

Die Stadtwerke Bayreuth Holding GmbH ist ein kommunales Versorgungs- und Dienstleistungsunternehmen, zu hundert Prozent im Besitz der Stadt Bayreuth. Mit ihren Tochterunternehmen Stadtwerke Bayreuth Energie und Wasser GmbH und Stadtwerke Bayreuth Verkehr und Bäder GmbH sind die Stadtwerke Bayreuth zuständig für die Strom-, Erdgas-, Fernwärme- und Trinkwasserversorgung, den öffentlichen Nahverkehr, für mehrere Parkeinrichtungen und für den Betrieb von Bädern in Bayreuth. Außerdem bieten die Stadtwerke Bayreuth Telekommunikations- und Contracting-Dienstleistungen an.

Vorgeschichte

Anfang des 17. Jahrhunderts wurde die erste städtische Wasserleitung gebaut. Die Quellfassung wurde 1611 fertiggestellt, das Wasser floss in hölzernen Rohren vom Oberen Quellhof beim Röhrensee in zunächst vier Brunnen der Stadt. Erstmals Wasser aus dem Fichtelgebirge brachte eine 1908 in Betrieb genommene Leitung.

In den Jahren 1852/1853 wurde neben der Ziegelhütte südlich des Hofgartens von einer Aktiengesellschaft eine Gasfabrik errichtet. Sie verarbeitete zunächst Holz und ab 1864 Steinkohle. 1890 wurde die Anlage von der Stadt übernommen. Am 30. April 1853 wurden die ersten Gaslaternen der Stadt angezündet.

Die erste elektrische Straßenbeleuchtung wurde versuchsweise 1887 und dauerhaft 1893 installiert. Den Strom lieferte das Pumpwerk im C'est-bon-Tal am südlichen Ende des Röhrensees. Im Jahr 1900 ging in der Herzogmühle das erste städtische Elektrizitätswerk in Betrieb, 1901 verkaufte der letzte Müller das Anwesen an die Stadt Bayreuth. Am 20. Dezember 1909 wurde ein Elektrizitätswerk an der Herzstraße (heutige Eduard-Bayerlein-Straße) in Betrieb genommen, das statt mit Wasserkraft mit Dampfkesseln arbeitete.

Geschichte

Die Stadtwerke Bayreuth wurden 1939 als Zusammenschluss der bereits länger bestehenden Betriebe Elektrizitätswerk, Gaswerk, Wasserwerk und Verkehrsbetrieb gegründet. Während der Kriegsjahre ließ ihr Oberinspektor auftragsgemäß Pamphlete mit – häufig antisemitischer – Hetzpropaganda bei der wöchentlichen Lohnauszahlung in die Lohntüten legen.

Im Jahr 1951 wurde mit der Fränkischen Presse der erste Kunde mit Fernwärme beliefert.
1954 wurde die Umstellung von Gleichstrom auf Drehstrom abgeschlossen. Im Mai 1964 wurde unter dem Namen "Neue Schwimmanstalt" das Kreuzsteinbad eröffnet. Das damals mit Sandstein gefasste Becken wurde mit dem Wasser aus dem Sendelbach befüllt. Im selben Jahr wurde auch das Freiluftbad Bürgerreuth von den Stadtwerken Bayreuth übernommen. 1968/1969 wurde auf dem Gelände des ehemaligen Gaswerks an der Birkenstraße das 2,2 Millionen Mark teuere Verwaltungsgebäude errichtet.

1968 beglichen noch 56,8 Prozent der Bayreuther Haushalte ihre Rechnungen in bar. Damals gingen Inkassoboten der Stadtwerke von Haus zu Haus und kassierten die fälligen Beträge. Im Jahr darauf waren es bereits nur noch 42 Prozent, die auf diesem Weg zahlten. Der damalige Direktor der Stadtwerke Werner Spichal kündigte 1969 an, zum Jahresbeginn 1970 seien ausschließlich Überweisungen möglich.

1971 wurde die Gasversorgung von Stadtgas auf Erdgas umgestellt. Ende der 1970er Jahre wurde die Trinkwasserversorgung ausgebaut. Seit 1979 gehört zu den Stadtwerken Bayreuth auch der Bereich Parken. Ende Dezember 1991 wurde zwischen der Stadt und der Energieversorgung Oberfranken (EVO) ein Partnerschaftsvertrag besiegelt. Mit ihm wurde die Zuständigkeit für die Stromversorgung des gesamten Stadtgebiets bis 1997 auf die Stadtwerke übertragen.

1992 wurde die erste Photovoltaikanlage der Stadtwerke Bayreuth auf dem Schalthaus Mitte errichtet. 1996 wurden die Stadtwerke Bayreuth in eine privatrechtliche Rechtsform umgegründet: Die Stadtwerke Bayreuth Holding GmbH und deren Töchter BEW Bayreuther Energie- und Wasserversorgungs-GmbH und BVB Bayreuther Verkehrs- und Bäder-GmbH. 1996 wurde das Stadtbad Bayreuth nach der Sanierung wiedereröffnet. 1997 wurde die Gemeinde Heinersreuth an das Gasversorgungsnetz der Stadtwerke Bayreuth angeschlossen. 1999 wurde die Lohengrin Therme eingeweiht.

2007 eröffnete die neue ZOH (Zentrale Omnibushaltestelle) an der Kanalstraße mit fünfzehn Bussteigen für den Stadtverkehr und fünf für den Regionalverkehr sowie dem Kundencenter Verkehr. 2011 zog in das Gebäude an der ZOH auch das Kundencenter Energie & Wasser ein. 2014 wurde zusammen mit der Regensburger Energie- und Wasserversorgung AG & CO KG sowie der Bayernwerk Natur GmbH zehn Kilometer südlich von Bayreuth der Windpark Tannberg-Lindenhardt mit vier Windkraftanlagen und einer Gesamtleistung von zwölf Megawatt errichtet.

Seit 2015 treten alle Konzernbereiche wieder unter dem gemeinsamen Namen Stadtwerke Bayreuth auf. Die Tochtergesellschaften firmieren nun unter den Namen Stadtwerke Bayreuth Energie und Wasser GmbH, Stadtwerke Bayreuth Verkehr und Bäder GmbH und Stadtwerke Bayreuth Energiehandel GmbH.

Im Jahr 2025 soll die Verwaltung der Stadtwerke von der Birkenstraße in einen neuen Firmensitz an der Eduard-Bayerlein-Straße verlagert werden. Die vorgesehenen Baumaßnahmen sehen den Abbruch des alten Verwaltungsgebäudes des Elektrizitätswerks am Berliner Platz aus dem Jahr 1909 vor; das ehemalige Schalthaus an der Eduard-Bayerlein-Straße soll erhalten bleiben.

Die Stadtwerke Bayreuth liefern über die Tochter Stadtwerke Bayreuth Energie und Wasser GmbH Erdgas an Kunden in Bayreuth und Umland. Ab 1. Mai 2016 erhalten alle Haushalts- und Gewerbekunden der Stadtwerke Bayreuth Ökogas. Die CO2-Emissionen, die bei der Gasverbrennung entstehen werden vollständig ausgeglichen. Dies geschieht über die Finanzierung verschiedener Klimaschutzprojekte in Schwellenländern und Entwicklungsländern. Klimaschutzprojekte, die von den Stadtwerken Bayreuth unterstützt werden, sind unter anderem Windkraft in Indien als Ersatz für Energie aus fossilen Brennstoffen und Biomasse zur Wärmeerzeugung in Bulgarien.

Das Ökogas der Stadtwerke Bayreuth ist vom TÜV NORD mit dem Siegel "Klimaneutrale Verbrennung" zertifiziert.

Die Stadtwerke Bayreuth Energie und Wasser GmbH ist Gasnetzbetreiber in der Stadt Bayreuth sowie der Gemeinde Heinersreuth. In ihrem Netzgebiet ist die Stadtwerke Bayreuth Energie und Wasser GmbH als Grundversorger festgestellt.

Fernwärme

In den Heizkraftwerken (HKW) der Stadtwerke Bayreuth wird mittels Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung Strom und Wärme erzeugt. Die Wärme wird über Dampf- oder Heißwasserrohre an Kunden im Netzgebiet der Stadtwerke Bayreuth geliefert. Diese Energie wird zum Heizen oder Erwärmen von Brauchwasser verwendet.

Contracting

Für Gebäudeeigentümer, Hausverwaltungen oder Unternehmen bieten die Stadtwerke Bayreuth Contracting-Verträge an. Hierbei werden alle Leistungen  um die Heizwärme von den Stadtwerken übernommen: Sie finanzieren, bauen und betreiben die Heizanlagen in Gebäuden des Kunden. Bei Contracting-Verträgen kommen verschiedene Heiztechniken zum Einsatz, beispielsweise Erdgas-Brennwertheizungen, Blockheizkraftwerke, Pelletheizungen, Hackschnitzelheizungen oder die Kombination verschiedener Techniken.

Eigenerzeugung

Die Stadtwerke Bayreuth betreiben elf Blockheizkraftwerke in der Stadt Bayreuth und sind Anteilseigner des Windparks Tannberg-Lindenhardt südlich von Bayreuth. Außerdem unterhalten die Stadtwerke vier Photovoltaikanlagen. 2017 stellten die Anlagen der Stadtwerke Bayreuth rund 16.500 Megawattstunden Strom (+1.000 Prozent gegenüber 2010) her.

Wasser

Die Stadtwerke Bayreuth versorgen das gesamte Bayreuther Stadtgebiet mit Wasser. Darüber hinaus werden Gemeindeteile von Heinersreuth, Gesees, Warmensteinach und Haag beliefert. Rund fünf Milliarden Liter braucht die Stadt pro Jahr. Die stammen zu einem Teil aus der Ködeltalsperre der Fernwasserversorgung Oberfranken, aus Quellfassungen im Fichtelgebirge und aus insgesamt vier östlich von Bayreuth gelegenen Brunnenfeldern mit insgesamt zwölf Tiefbrunnen. In den Wasserwerken auf dem Eichelberg, das zwischen 2017 und 2019 erneuert wurde, und im Löchleinstal bereiten die Stadtwerke das Rohwasser auf, indem es gefiltert und überschüssige Kohlensäure entfernt wird, und leiten es zu insgesamt drei Hochbehältern. Sie liegen auf den Anhöhen der Hohen Warte und dem Eichelberg. Dort können die Stadtwerke gut 24 Millionen Liter Trinkwasser zwischenspeichern. Durch den Höhenunterschied entsteht ein natürlicher Druck, der das Wasser ohne weitere Pumpen zu den Menschen in der Stadt fließen lässt. Lediglich für die höheren Lagen Bayreuths benötigen die Stadtwerke Bayreuth Pumpstationen. Insgesamt betreut das Unternehmen ein Rohrleitungsnetz mit einer Länge von 340 Kilometern. Die Qualität des Trinkwassers überprüfen zum einen Experten der Stadtwerke und zum anderen externe und speziell hierfür zugelassene Labore. Zwischen 2010 und 2019 haben die Stadtwerke Bayreuth rund 50 Millionen Euro in die Wasserversorgung gesteckt.

95 % des Trinkwassers in Bayreuth haben den Härtegrad "weich", 5 % den Härtegrad "mittel". Wasserhärte entsteht durch die im Wasser gelösten Calcium- und Magnesiumsalze. Als weich gilt Wasser, das weniger als 1,5 Millimol Calciumcarbonat pro Liter Wasser aufweist.

Verkehr

Busverkehr

Die Stadtwerke Bayreuth Verkehr und Bäder GmbH betreibt den städtischen öffentlichen Personennahverkehr (ÖPNV) mit 23 Buslinien, wofür 35 eigene Busse und 18 Fahrzeuge von Subunternehmen eingesetzt werden. Das Busliniennetz wird zu Zeiten schwacher Nachfrage mit Anruf-Linien-Taxen ergänzt. Seit dem Beitritt von Stadt und Landkreis Bayreuth in den Verkehrsverbund Großraum Nürnberg gilt in Bayreuth der VGN-Tarif. Die Stadtwerke Bayreuth Verkehr und Bäder GmbH sind seit 2010 Gesellschafter der Verbundgesellschaft. In den Jahren 2013 bis 2018 erwirtschaftete der städtische Busverkehr durchschnittlich ein jährliches Minus von 2,7 Millionen Euro.

Montags bis freitags wurden 2019 tagsüber 16 Buslinien betrieben und 378 Fahrten durchgeführt. Nachts waren es 67 Fahrten auf 6 Linien, dazu kamen vier Anruf-Linien-Taxis. Tagsüber wurden samstags (210 Fahrten) und sonntags (109 Fahrten) je zwölf Linien bedient. Neben vier Anruf-Linien-Taxis waren an den Wochenenden in der Nebenverkehrszeit und nachts mit 88 (samstags) bzw. 86 (sonntags) Fahrten auf 6 Linien Busse unterwegs. Samstags wurden ca. 9600, sonntags im Durchschnitt 3150 Fahrgäste befördert.
