Janasena to announce their second candidate ?
It is just a few weeks to follow for the poll battle to begin. Already the major parties in Andhra Pradesh, TDP, YSRCP and Janasena are busy in finalising the list of Candidates to contest in each constituency. Both the ruling and opposition parties are revealing their candidates one by one, Janasena party has announced only one of their candidates till now.
In fact, tactically Pawan Kalyan declared Pithani Balakrishna as Jana Sena's first candidate for Mumadivaram (East Godavari) assembly segment a few months ago. With his first move, he clarified that he will stand by the BC's and now to woo the Dalits, he may announce Pamula Rajeshwari as their candidate for P Gannavaram constituency. If it happens, she will be the first female Candidate to contest in the history of Jansena party.
Rajeshwari has a very good grip in her constituency who emerged victorious in the past 2004 and 2009 elections from Congress party. It was said she has been sent signals from Janasena party seniors about the ticket and she had already started campaigning in the constituency. YSRCP is going to field Kondeti Chittibabu who also is seriously campaigning in the constituency and TDP may field its setting candidate P Narayana Murthy. With a good number of voters from BC, Dalits and Kapu community Janasena would have been hoping that they will emerge victorious in that constituency.

Q: Deploy context.xml file using maven plugin I am trying to deploy a webapp to a Tomcat (on a remote system) using the maven plugin
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat6-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>

I need to deploy the same war file with different context.xml files from my machine (M1) to the machine running the tomcat (M2). From what I understand here https://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin-trunk/tomcat6-maven-plugin/deploy-mojo.html this should be possible using the options
<mode>both</mode>
<contextFile>PATH_TO_CONTEXT.XML</contextFile>

(where I configure PATH_TO_CONTEXT.XML using profiles) and the command
mvn tomcat6:deploy -P MY_PROFILE.

The problem is that for each setting of PATH_TO_CONTEXT.XML the deployment fails.
A) Specifying PATH_TO_CONTEXT.XML to point to a file on the machine M1 (where I run the maven command), I get BUILD SUCCESS from Maven, however nothing is deployed. According to the tomcat log the reason is that the file is not available on the machine running the tomcat:
[ INFO] [catalina-exec-32] [] [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/manager]] - Manager: install: Installing context configuration at 'file:PATH_TO_CONTEXT.XML' from 'file:PATH_TO_WAR'
INFO   | jvm 1    | 2014/05/15 22:41:39 | java.io.FileNotFoundException: PATH_TO_CONTEXT.XML (No such file or directory)

where PATH_TO_WAR points to the war on M1.
B) Specifying a PATH_TO_CONTEXT.XML pointing to a file on M2 (the tomcat's machine) the maven process finishes with BUILD FAILURE due to
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.tomcat.maven:tomcat6-maven-plugin:2.2:deploy (default-cli) on project PROJECT: Cannot find context file: PATH_TO_CONTEXT -> [Help 1]

Thus the only situation where this config works is when I run the deploy command on the machine that also runs the tomcat (M1=M2). Is there a valid config for a deployment from one machine to another?

A: The deploy plugin expects the <contextFile> to refer to a file already on the target machine.
It's still marked as "beta", but he wagon plugin looks like a possibility for installing the context file on the target system.

Film industry celebrities boycott crisis-hit Golden Globes
Publicists say their clients have withdrawn support over Hollywood Foreign Press Association's 'ethical impropriety'

Film industry pressure on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the body that organises the Golden Globe awards, has increased after more than 100 public relations firms sent a letter telling the organisation they had withdrawn all their celebrity clients from activities with the HFPA until it made "profound and lasting change" to correct what it described as the HFPA's "longstanding exclusionary ethos … discriminatory behavior [and] ethical impropriety".
According to Variety, the letter, signed by high-profile PR outfits including DDA, Premier, 42West and Rogers & Cowan/PMK, was delivered to the HFPA on Monday, following continuing criticism of the crisis-plagued organisation.
The letter reads: "We cannot advocate for our clients to participate in HFPA events or interviews as we await your explicit plans and timeline for transformational change."
"Anything less than transparent, meaningful change that respects and honors the diversity and dignity of our clients, their colleagues and our global audience will result in immediate and irreparable damage to the relationship between our agencies, our clients and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association."
The Golden Globes TV broadcast is the HFPA's most high-profile and lucrative event, and an industry boycott would be devastating.
The HFPA's troubles were sparked by a report in the LA Times shortly before the most recent Golden Globe awards show, in which the HFPA was accused of a lack of diversity in its membership as well as "ethical lapses" in the way it conducted its business. The organisation's response, in which it said it would add "Black and other underrepresented professionals to [the] organisation" and improve "transparency" over its voting and membership processes, was deemed inadequate by high-profile film industry campaign group Time's Up.
The HFPA responded to the publicists' letter with a statement in which it acknowledged it "should have done more, and sooner", and said it would ensure that "at least 13 per cent of the membership be Black journalists" by the end of the year.

Symposium Introduction
Hydrosensoft consists of several events: the International Symposium with peer-reviewed papers (3 days), the Exhibition (3 days) and the National Symposium with invited speakers (in Spanish, 1 day).
The International Symposium and Exhibition will bring together users, researchers and developers interested in hydro-environment software and sensors/instrumentation to acquire, analyze and use data for our better understanding of the hydro-environment. The HydroSenSoft 2019 Symposium and Exhibition event will showcase the latest advances coming out of the research and development community, and share experience from practice. Furthermore, the exhibition will take place alongside several other exhibitions relevant to the water industry (SIGA-Trade Fair for Innovative Water Management Solutions,
Genera - Energy and Environment International Trade Fair, Tecnova Piscinas - Technology and Innovation Trade Show for Aquatic Installations).
While the international symposium, in English, has a scientific character, the National Symposium in Spanish has a more pragmatic orientation, addressing practical questions of different types of specialists and users (read more about the National Symposium).
National and international legislation, such as the EU Water Framework and Marine Strategy Framework Directive, puts increasing emphasis on monitoring, maintaining, and improving the water environment by means of better planning and management, which in turn requires much more accurate knowledge of the impact of mankind on the environment. Hydraulic instrumentation and experimentation play a key role for understanding fundamental processes that affect the health of aquatic ecosystems and the safe use of water supply sources. Wider use of new technology in the water sector and access to water-related data can facilitate the implementation of specific measures.
Modelling software tools are now becoming universally used by organizations responsible for managing the water environment and this, in turn, requires more detailed and more accurate data. At the same time, thanks to the rapid developments in sensor technology, large quantities of data can be available, calling for structured and robust methods of analysis. A rapidly expanding variety of different software tools and data collection tools are becoming available for these purposes.
After the first edition in Madrid in 2017, HydroSenSoft 2019, organized by the IAHR Committee on Experimental Methods and Instrumentation, will offer the opportunity to present latest trends in instrument development, experimental methods, and data management and analysis to cope with water-related societal challenges.

HydroSenSoft 2017 - a new conference aimed to bridge the gap between academia and industry
Article by Rui Aleixo, HydroSenSoft 2017 Chair
(article published in Hydrolink 4/2017)
Following the goal that every Committee should have its own conference, the EMI-LT (2015-2017) accepted the challenge and partnered through IAHR with IFEMA, the largest exhibition centre in Madrid, to organize HydroSenSoft. Pursuing a different model for a conference, and aiming to bridge the gap between academia and private sector, HydroSenSoft was designed with two main components: a symposium and an exhibition, running in parallel, allowing the change of ideas between the participants coming from the different sectors of activities.
The exhibition took place from the 28th February to 3rd March 2017, in Madrid, Spain. The venue was at IFEMA (the largest exhibition venue in Spain). IAHR, through its Madrid Office personnel, gave the logistic support to HydroSenSoft (e.g. handling registrations).
The first day of HydroSenSoft (February 28th) was dedicated to the exhibition opening and to an independently organized side event: a course on MoHiD, quite participated, in particular by the Spanish community. For the exhibition part, seven companies were there because of HydroSenSoft. Since HydroSenSoft was held at the same time as the SIGA exhibition (Trade Fair for Innovative Water Management Solutions, one of the largest exhibitions in the urban water cycle domain) more than 50 manufacturers and/or representatives on water-related technologies were also present in the exhibition hall.
As to the symposium, it was a two-day international conference (March 1st – 2nd) and a one-day parallel Spanish-speaking session (March 2nd). Over 160 attendees participated in the symposium, with a clear majority of participants in the Spanish speaking session.
A total of 42 papers and 6 posters were accepted after the peer-reviewing process for the international symposium. The authors came from some 20 countries showing the international interest that this first edition reached. Most authors came from academia but many representatives of both private and public sectors were also present. Different manufacturers submitted papers to show the applications of their instruments.
This first edition had three main themes: Theme 1 – Instrumentation and data acquisition tools; Theme 2 – Software tools for data acquisition and numerical ; and Theme 3 – Application of sensors and software for particular the ones from Michael Natschke and Enrique Álvarez-Fanjul, who used the Copernicus Emergency Management Service for different goals: flood emergency system (Natschke) and maritime/off-shore problems (Fanjul).modellinghydro- environmental problems. Three high-quality keynotes contributed to a good conference level: Marian Muste (University of Iowa and IIHR), Michael Natschke (Kisters) and Enrique Álvarez-Fanjul (Spanish State Ports). The keynote speakers represented the three main sectors: academia, private sector and public sector. Without any previous arrangement, it was a good coincidence that there was a thread line between the different keynotes, in
The degree of participation of the delegates from the different sectors was high, with many debates and discussions in each session continuing into the coffee-breaks; a clear sign of the high interest this area has for academia, industry and private sector. In the last day of the symposium, an open meeting was held with some of the delegates to debate HydroSenSoft, how to improve it for the next edition and to present the EMI committee and the work developed in these last two years.
HydroSenSoft ended with the technical visits. Three visits were planned: two of them to the CEDEX installations in Madrid and one to the Tagus River Basin Management System. In one of the CEDEX laboratory, a technical demonstration was organized by one of the manufacturers present at HydroSenSoft.
For the success of HydroSenSoft much contributed the logistic support provided by the IAHR Madrid's Office personnel (Maria Galanty, Elsa Incio, Estibaliz Serrano, Carmen Sanchez and Manuela Suanno), responding in time to every question and need of the delegates.

Originality and plagiarism: The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.
Data access and retention: Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data.
Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication: An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication.
Acknowledgment of sources: Proper acknowledgment.
Disclosure and conflicts of interest: All submissions must include disclosure of all relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest.
Fundamental errors in published works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
Reporting standards: Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance.
The Ethical Guidelines of the Journal

Submission, review, edition, or publication, CMDE has the right to legal action. The cases are listed below:
Fabrication: is a kind of inventing data or results and reporting them as original research. Both of these misconducts are unacceptable or improper behavior and seriously alter the integrity of the research. Therefore, articles must be written based on original data and the use of counterfeit or fabricated data is strongly prohibited.
Falsification: occurs when someone changes or alternates research materials, data, equipment or procedures, such that the results of the research are no longer accurately reflected in the research record
Plagiarism: means to take someone else's achievements or even citations without any acknowledgment or explanation of the producer.
Wrongful Appropriation: It happens when an author takes a person's achievements and by manipulating some parts and a little change, submits it with his/ her name.
False Attribution: It occurs when a person is listed as an author, while she/ he hasn't had any role in the research.

Reviewer is better not to communicate directly with none of the author(s).
If any communication is necessary, it should be made through the editorial office.
Trying to report "research and publication misconduct" and submitting the related documents to editor-in-chief.
Editorial board responsibilities
The main aims of the editorial board are preserving and the quality betterment of the journal.
Editorial board should recommend the journal to international scientific, research communities, and other universities. And consider publication priority, articles submitted from such an association.
Editorial board should not have any personal publishing quota, in the journal. And their personal article publishing should not exceed.
Editorial board should consider the reviewers' comments, in accepting or rejecting any article.
Editorial board should be well-known experts, having published many Valuable articles. Should to be answerable, believed in professional ethics, and try to improve journal aims.
Editorial board should supply a database of experts and suitable reviewers for journal, and update the list of experts regularly.
Editorial board should try to invite qualified moral, experienced and well-known reviewers to cooperate with their journal.
Editorial board ought to identify and acknowledge, profound, and reasonable reviews.
They should not accept superficial and poor reviews and also prohibit one-sided and contemptuous reviews.
The whole documents of reviewing should be archived as scientific documents. And reviewer's name and affiliation must be confidentially kept, by editorialboard.
Editorial board must send whole reviewing documents to corresponding author, as soon as possible
Editorial board should keep the contents of the article and do not divulge article's information to anyone.
Editorial board must prevent any contrast of benefits because of personal commercial, academic or financial relations which maycause accepting or rejecting an article.
The editor-in-chief should inspect all types of research and publication misconduct, which reviewers report in such a way that seems serious.
If there is some research or publication misconduct. the editor-in-chief has to delete it immediately and all indexing databases and audiences should be informed.
In the case of any published research misconduct, the editorial board should take responsibility and publish the corrected article in the next issue.
Editorial board should appreciate any audiences' new ideas since regarding these suggestions causes the publication policies, structure, and quality of articles be ameliorated.
For most journals, the editorial board does not itself oversee the production and business processes. These are usually carried out by a commercial publisher, a professional organization, university, or other institution. The support publishers receive from authors, editors, and referees in the mathematical community carry with it responsibilities. Most important is a commitment to the mathematical literature and its dissemination. Publishers must also adhere to the principles of integrity, transparency, and timeliness. Detailed information concerning the journal, including editorial board members, journal vision and scope, submission and publication procedures, fees, page charges, subscription pricing, etc., must be made publicly available to all concerned parties.
Publishers should ensure that papers are widely accessible, affordable in all parts of the world, and permanently archived in a form that can be readily located, referenced, and (possibly after paying a reasonable fee) accessed. Sales arrangements should be flexible, allowing, for instance, the purchase of individual journals and articles. Alternative modes of financing the publication process, such as through author fees, submission fees, page charges, or combinations of these create significant ethical challenges. First, the opportunity to publish in a peer-reviewed venue should be available to all, subject to scientific merit, not the ability to pay via research grants, institutional support or other means. Therefore, there should be methods to opt out of payment when needed. Second, payment indirect return for publication creates a potential conflict of interest with the peer-review process. For this reason, any such journal requires clear, well-defined, effective processes to insulate peer review and editorial decision-making from monetary considerations.
Accepted papers should be typeset, copyedited (if appropriate), and published online and/or in print in a timely manner. Publishers should establish and clearly communicate to potential authors their policies concerning copyright and authors' web posting. Publishers should track and publish the date of submission, final revised submission, if applicable, and date of publication (electronic and/or print) of published papers. Publishers should respond to and investigate allegations of plagiarism or other unethical behavior connected with their journals, publish a clear and specific retraction in confirmed cases, and protect the rights of authors by seeking appropriate redress for plagiarism and unauthorized use of their work.
Journal's Standards of Accuracy and Independence
The journal has a duty to publish corrections when errors could affect the interpretation of data or information.
The journal thrives on their independence. Its policy is that editorial independence, decisions and content should not be compromised by commercial or financial interests, or by any specific arrangements with advertising clients or sponsors.

Hormones play a crucial role in hair growth process. There are a number of hormones governing hair growth in men and women. This is where the significance of high hormone supplements originates.
Testosterone and Estrogen are two examples of hormones governing human hair growth. Testosterone governs bard, body hair and armpit among men. Estrogen prevents hair growth on the chin among women. It also preserves frontal hair. Disturbance in estrogen level causes hair loss and balding among women.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH), Di Hydro Epi Androsterone (DHEA), Melatonin the sleep hormone, the natural progesterone, the natural bromelein.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) – It is secreted by pituitary gland. It reaches its peak level during adolescence. And then it starts decreasing. Humans produce 500 mg of growth hormone at the age of 20. It comes down to 200 mg at the age of 40. And it is a paltry 25 mg at 80. Post-adolescence, one can use HGH supplement for various purposes including healthy hair. You may take natural hormone replacement pills or synthroids. But you must be careful about general health and nutrient intake.
Di Hydro Epi Androsterone (DHEA) – This steroid is found abundantly in the body. Improper intake of this highly potent hormone can cause male pattern baldness beside increasing facial hair growth. Over the counter hormonal supplements like androstenedione, pregnenolone and DHEA can cause hair thinning. Rather one should use FDA approved treatments like Rogaine and Propecia. Avodart and Nizoral also come in the list of high hormone supplements.
Melatonin – It increases anagen hair rate in women with pattern baldness. It plays a key role in hair growth. Some hormones secreted from pituitary and thyroid glands have significant impact on hair growth.
Various dietary and vitamin supplements also play determinative roles in hair growth. And they form core parts of the overall modern hair care mechanism.
Dietary supplements – One should also be careful about diet for healthy hair. The present day busy lifestyle demands more dietary supplements on a daily basis. A proper diet intake will go a long way in supporting a healthy hair growth.
Sometimes the dietary supplements contain stress vitamins and energy releasers. They are present in addition to the vital components.
•	Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) – It is an antioxidant water-soluble vitamin needed for proper and healthy hair growth.
•	L-cysteine and l-tyrosine – They are the basic amino acids in human hair. L-cysteine comprises up to 14 per cent of the hair. It is available in chicken and aged grains.
•	Vitamin C – Deficiency of this water-soluble nutrient stops the flow of nutrients to the hair follicles. Its deficiency also causes hair tangling and breaking. The sources of Vitamin C include citrus fruits, green vegetables, tomatoes and potatoes.
•	Folic acid (vitamin B9) – It prevents thinning and graying of hair. It is found in cereals, lentils, asparagus, spinach, black beans, peanuts, orange, enriched breads, romaine lettuce and broccoli.
•	Vanadium, molybdenum, chromium, zinc picolinate, iron and copper are important minerals for restoration and growth of hair.
•	Vitamin A – Its role in cell division, differentiation and immune regulation makes it crucial in hair growth phases. Retinol is the most usable form of this vitamin. Its source lies in eggs, liver, whole milk and fortified foods like fat-reduced milk, cereals and breads.
•	Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) – Thiamin is available in meat, whole grains, cereals, pasta, dried beans, nuts, blackstrap molasses, rice, brewer's yeast, bran and wheat germ.
•	Vitamin B12 – Its deficiency leads to malnutrition and deterioration of hair health. It is found in dairy products, eggs, meat, poultry and fish.
•	Niacin (Vitamin B3) – The sources of Vitamin B3 include most high-protein foods like beef, chicken and turkey, tuna and other fatty fish like salmon and swordfish, pork, brewer's yeast, beets, milk, peanuts and sunflower seeds.
•	Vitamin B-6 – The foods offering Vitamin B-6 include beef liver, lentils, chicken, turkey, shrimp, salmon, tuna, soybeans, nuts, brown rice, carrots, sunflowers seeds, wheat germ, avocados, peanut butter, pork, whole grains, bananas and many vegetables.
•	Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) – They are found in dark green leafy vegetables, asparagus, beans, kelp, soybeans and soy flour. Other sources include oranges, strawberries, rice, brewer's yeast, beef and liver.
•	Vitamin C – Red and green peppers, leafy greens like beet tops, turnip greens and spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, potatoes brussels sprouts, squash, cauliflower and cabbage have rich supply of Vitamin C. Fruits like pineapple, oranges, watermelon, papaya, kiwi, mango, cantaloupe, raspberries, cranberries and blueberries are good source of Vitamin C.
•	Vitamin D – This Vitamin is available in fortified milk and cereals, cod liver oil, egg yolks, liver, and fatty fish like salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines and herring.
•	Vitamin E – Vitamin E is found in wheat germ, peanuts, vegetable oils like corn, soybean and safflower, almonds, walnuts, meat, dairy products, fruits and green leafy vegetables like spinach. Many of its natural sources are rich in fats. And that makes it an effective hair growth supplement.
•	Vitamin H – Its sources include egg yolks, rice, soy products, cauliflower, oatmeal, barley, whole wheat, milk, cereals, almonds, beef liver, peanuts and brewer's yeast.
•	Vitamin K – Vitamin K is found in collard greens, apples, avocados, asparagus, green beans, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, olive oil, cauliflower, dark green lettuce, oranges, peas, potatoes, soybeans, etc.

Nonverbal communication is the single most powerful form of communication.
There are three main channels of communication (Eggert, 2012). The meaning of the words represents 7% of the message; how the words are said accounts for 38% of the message; but the body language of the speaker contributes to 55% of the message. Understanding and using appropriate body language is therefore essential for successful relationships.
First impressions cannot be made a second time. The face represents a huge proportion of nonverbal communication. A smile is a positive sign that can make you appear more friendly, more intelligent, more cooperative, more honest and more trustworthy. Good eye contact – a priority for athletic coaches and sales trainers, among others - is important because it expresses interest. Maintaining eye contact while smiling and appearing friendly will help you make a great first impression.

Being a puritan and a snob, I wouldn't normally condone any recipe for pesto which strayed away from the traditional holy trinity of basil, pine nuts and parmesan. Profane variations such as 'Rocket and walnut' or 'Spinach and sun-dried tomatoes' have a desperate and makeshift 'Ready Steady Cook' feel about them, which in my experience never fails to disappoint.
FACTOID: This 3 herb pesto is the one and only exception to the rule.
Put the nuts, herbs, anchovies and garlic into a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped.
Add the cheese and with motor running, gradually add the oil to combine.
Add lemon rind and juice and pulse to combine.
Meanwhile, cook your pasta the usual way until al dente (8-10 minutes).
Add the pasta water to the pesto and pour over the pasta – toss to combine.
Serve hot (in heated bowls), scattered with extra nuts, basil leaves and chilli flakes, and drizzled with a little extra oil, if desired.
Verdict: An excellent twist on traditional pesto. A conventional basil flavour to start with a fresh mint and lemon to finish.
Drink: A bottle of the 'featured small producer of the week' from Nicolas…I love the French staff who work here – it's impossible for them to say 'Have a nice day' without sounding sarcastic.
Entertainment: Stewart Lee followed by Rafe Spall.
Self-indulgent photo of the week: Yumblog Junior sporting an improvised sun hat.
I'd forgotten the parsley but added some fresh marjoram instead. A very satisfying meal, thanks.
Not a big fan of Fusilli but it works well, besides it was on special in the local co-op.

Q: Am I supposed to see versions 4.5 in "Add Reference" dialog? I only see ver. 4.0 assemblies In a Visual Studio 2012 MVC 4 project, all references I see are 4.0.0.0, not 4.5.
Is that expected?
This is an old machine that has had all .NET versions (and corresponding VS versions) since VS 2008.
See screen grab:

A: .NET 4.5 is a replacement of .NET 4 and fully backwards compatible. To retain this property, the assembly versions had to remain at 4.0.
For a more in-depth explanation, see this answer and the blog posts it links to.

A: Installing Windows Visual Studio 2012 Update 4  did the trick for me .
I had to reference
      System.Windows.Interactivity 4.5

in order to work with
      Microsoft.Expression.Interactions 4.5

The City of West Branch, Ogemaw and West Branch Township's sanitary sewer system consist of approximately 23 miles of 6 to 24 inch diameter collection and interceptor sewers.
With the establishment of the Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 and the Clean Water Act of 1977, Congress had established as goals the national preservation and restoration of the nations water. Being located on the west branch of the Rifle River, and serving the City of West Branch, portions of Ogemaw, and West Branch Township's the West Branch Area Wastewater Treatment Facility plays a key role in preserving the area and Michigan's most valuable resource, its surface waters.
The Treatment Plant was completed and put into operation in March 1984. The original plant was designed to treat a daily flow of .7 MGD with a maximum daily flow of 2.1 MGD. From 2009 to 2012 a facility upgrade took place allowing the plant to treat a daily flow of .9 MGD with a maximum daily flow of 2.1 MGD and a 5.0 MGD peaks.
The following is a descriptive of the treatment facility as well as some pictures taken during the upgrade.
The Plant influent comes from a network of sanitary sewers, which collect domestic sewage from the City of West Branch, along with portions of Ogemaw and West Branch Townships. The influent flow is continuously metered as it passes through a parshall flume located at the head of the plant.
After the flume the sewage can be directed into the automatic barscreen or the manual barscreen to separate debris larger than .75 inches from the waste stream. The flow is then channeled into an aerated grit tank in which grit settles to the bottom and then is pumped into a grit washer dewatering screw. Screenings and grit are deposited in dumpsters and disposed in a landfill.
A divided wet well consisting of a raw side and an equalization side follows the aerated grit tank. The flow enters the raw wet well which consists of three variable speed, ten horsepower centrifugal pumps. The flow is then pumped to the primary settling tanks.
If the influent flow exceeds maximum peak flow or plant flow set point, the wastewater will fill up the raw wet well and spill into the equalization wet well which consists of two variable speed, twenty horsepower centrifugal pumps. Once the equalization wet well level reaches a set level the wastewater will be pumped to two 100,000 gallon covered equalization basins equip with aeration and mechanical mixers which allow storage of the wastewater until the influent flow drops below the set point. When this happens, a flow controlled valve will allow the wastewater from the equalization basins to flow to the primary settling tanks.
If the influent flow does not drop below the set point and the two equalization basins fill up, the wastewater will overflow into the 2.4 million gallon equalization storage tank where it will be stored until the influent flow drops below the set point. The stored wastewater flows by gravity back to the raw wet well. The rate of flow to the wet well is manually controlled by an auto valve.
Alum is added at the head of the two, 60,300 gallon primary clarifiers. As the flow passes through the two primary clarifiers, settable solids and floatable solids are removed. Settable primary solids are automatically pumped to the primary anaerobic digester. Effluent from the primary clarifiers flows by gravity to the trickling filter pump station.
The secondary biological treatment process consists of two trickling filters, each 45 foot in diameter and 26 feet tall. Primary effluent flows by gravity to the trickling filter pump station which consists of two wet wells connected by an isolation valve and four variable speed submersible pumps; two pumps in each wet well. This design allows us to operate the trickling filters in three modes; series, parallel, and parallel with recycle which we operate in. The pumping rate is controlled by a wet well level set point.
As the primary effluent flows into the trickling filter pump station both wet well levels are the same because the isolation valve is open. Wastewater is pumped to the top of both trickling filters at the same time and same rate. This is the parallel process. The wastewater passes through both filters. A portion of the trickling filter effluent may be channeled back to the trickling filter wet well to be recycled with the primary clarifier effluent and pumped back to the trickling filters for additional treatment.
The recycle flow attempts to maintain a constant flow through the trickling filters and is controlled by an automatic SCADA controlled modulating valve (recycle valve). If the influent flow decreases, the recycle valve opens and recycle flows increase. If the influent flow increases, the recycle valve closes and recycle flows decrease.
The rest of the trickling filter effluent flows by gravity to a splitter box to be divided between three secondary clarifiers. Polymer is added at the splitter box to aid settling.
In the secondary clarifiers the solids settle to the bottom of the tanks and clear water flows over weirs at the top of the tank. The solids are pumped to the primary clarifiers to settle with the primary solids and then be pumped to the primary digester. Effluent from the secondary clarifiers flows by gravity to the tertiary filters.
The tertiary filters consist of four 9ft. x 9ft. gravity sand filters. The filter effluent flows by gravity to an open channel UV disinfection system.
As the secondary effluent passes through the filters they become dirty and water levels rise. When they reach a set level they will automatically backwash. The water used for filter backwashing is pumped from the clear well using two twenty horsepower variable speed centrifugal pumps. The clear well is kept full by plant effluent flowing by gravity to the clear well after UV disinfection. The backwash wastewater flows by gravity back to the equalization wet well.
If the plant flow increases and the tertiary filters are unable to keep up they can be bypassed. Also each filter has an overflow. If filters are bypassed or water reaches the overflows the secondary clarifier effluent flows by gravity directly to the UV disinfection system.
The UV disinfection system consists of two banks of UV lights operated in series and managed by a system control center. The UV intensity is controlled by a submersible UV sensor and a dose pacing sensor which is controlled by the effluent flow meter. The UV control center activates the cleaning system which wipes each UV quartz with a cleaning solution. After leaving the UV's the flow passes through a parshall flume flow meter and then discharged to the Rifle River.
Scum and sludges are pumped to the anaerobic digester from the scum boxes and primary settling tanks. The primary anaerobic digester achieves solids reduction by being heated and mixed. This process yields a stabilized biosolids, water, and methane gas. The stabilized biosolids is stored in the secondary digester and biosolids storage tank. The stabilized biosolids are applied to agricultural land as a soil and crop enhancer, the water is returned to the equalization wet well to be treated, and the methane is utilized to maintain a liquid temperature of 96 degrees in the primary digester.

The 1955 Italian Grand Prix was won by Juan Fangio of Mercedes. Piero Taruffi was a very close second.
The race in Italy was the last of 7 rounds of the 1955 season.
The 1955 Italian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Autodromo Nazionale Monza, in Monza, Italy on 11 September 1955. It was the seventh and final race of the 1955 World Championship of Drivers.
In the wake of the 1955 Le Mans disaster, the championship was still open after the British Grand Prix; although after that race (with the French Grand Prix already having been cancelled) the German, Swiss and Spanish Grands Prix were all cancelled. This meant that Fangio won the world driver's championship for the 3rd time and the 2nd time in succession.
A new concrete banking had been constructed over where the original slightly banked version was, and the combined 10 km (6.214 mi) Monza circuit was used for the first time since 1933. The Curva Sud had also been modified from 2 right hand corners into one sweeping right-hander known as the "Parabolica".
Of the 4 factory Mercedes cars in the race, Fangio and Moss drove the streamlined, closed-wheel W196's, while Kling and Taruffi drove open-wheel W196's. This was the 4th and last appearance of the streamlined Mercedes cars at a championship GP.
This was the last Grand Prix race for 1950 world champion Nino Farina. This was also the last Mercedes 1-2 finish until the 2014 Malaysian Grand Prix, 59 years later.

Amazon Alexa Skills Kit Headed for Spain, But Not Yet for Broader Spanish-Speaking World
Alexa Skills Kit is now available to developers to build Alexa skills for Spain
Amazon Echo smart speakers will launch later in 2018, date not disclosed but October is a good bet
Sonos and Bose will ship Alexa-powered smart speakers in Spain in 2018
This doesn't mean Alexa Spanish-language support will soon be available in Central or South America
Amazon announced yesterday in a series of blog posts that its developer software development kit, Alexa Skills Kit (ASK), is now available for Spain and Italy. Spanish language support is a long-awaited upgrade to Alexa capabilities. Babbel and Wikipedia both list Spanish as the second most-spoken native language worldwide behind Mandarin with English in third. Spanish also ranks fourth in terms of second languages spoken but is well outpaced by English. When combining first and second language familiarity, English tops the list at 1.12 billion and Spanish is 512 million. The vast market of Spanish-language speakers made it an obvious target for all voice assistant providers.
Building Alexa Skills in Advance of Launch
Noemie Cornu of Amazon said in a multiple blog posts yesterday that developers can now use ASK to build Alexa skills that can be certified and available when Amazon Echo and other Alexa-powered devices launch in Spain later this year. As Voicebot mentioned in an earlier post about Italian ASK availability, Amazon has fallen into a familiar pattern of announcing ASK availability in advance of smart speaker launch. This provides developers with a chance to build third-party skills that can be available as soon as Alexa-enabled smart speakers start shipping in the country. The approach also helps Amazon because the third-party skills add more perceived value to the Alexa ecosystem.
Amazon launched ASK 64 days ahead of Echo shipments in Australia and 112 days prior to availability in France. The latter is a better analogy for Spain because there are no Spanish-language third party skills in other markets that could be made readily available upon launch. France was in a similar situation. Australia had the benefit of English-language skills originally developed for the U.S., U.K., and Canada already available even if no localized Alexa skills were launched. However, ASK availability ensured some local Aussie skills were ready to go in early February when Echo smart speakers arrived. Similarly, India claimed to have over 10,000 English-language Alexa skills available the day Echo smart speakers launched in the country with only a handful localized to the country.
If smart speakers follow ASK availability by 112 days, then you should expect Echo devices to start shipping around October 8th of this year. With the announcements for Spain and Italy, Amazon has committed to having localized versions of Alexa and Echo smart speakers available in 12 countries in 2018 compared to 17 for Google Home and six for Apple HomePod. Of course, more announcements could be forthcoming from each of these companies about availability in 2018. A table summarizing current and announced smart speaker availability with a localized voice assistant for both language and culture is provided below.
Australia 2018 2017 2018
Canada 2017 2017 2018
Denmark TBD 2018
France 2018 2017 2018
Germany 2016 2017 2018
India 2017 2018
Italy TBD 2018 2018
Korea TBD 2018
Mexico TBD 2018
Netherlands TBD 2018
Norway TBD 2018
Spain TBD 2018 TBD 2018
Sweden TBD 2018
United Kingdom 2016 2017 2018
United States 2014 2016 2018
Google Assistant was made available on mobile devices for users in Spain and Mexico in November 2017. The company said in May that Google Home smart speakers would be available in both countries sometime in 2018. As a result, the move into Spanish, Italian and French has been a new experience for Amazon playing the role of fast follower as opposed to smart speaker market pioneer.
If you want to know who is likely to get an Alexa-enabled smart speaker next, look at the list in this post and see which countries are relatively large but not there. The countries in the list are unlikely to get a localized Alexa and Echo offering anytime soon.
Why This Doesn't Mean Spanish Language Support for All Spanish-Speakers
The vast majority of the Spanish speaking world lives outside of Spain, but this doesn't mean they will have Alexa available in their home countries. Language models used by voice assistants are specific not only to the root language itself, but also to localized dialects, accents and culture. That is why the English-speaking Alexa in the U.K., U.S., Canada, Australia and India are all different. They sound different, have different vocabularies and the natural language understanding (NLU) must account for significant cultural variety. Noelle LaCharite is now at Microsoft but previously led the machine learning team at Amazon that was building out the new language models. In Episode 45 of the Voicebot Podcast she commented that even wake words must be localized.
"The wake word can't be the same…If you just go in and drop down the list of available languages and just switch it to one that you don't speak or that you'd like to hear … [you will find] the wake word is different in different languages."
Wake word identification is far more complex than most people think, but it is just one difference. You need an entire automated speech recognition (ASR) system that interprets regional language-variants correctly resulting in a correct speech-to-text transcription. You then need to apply natural language understanding (NLU) that accounts for cultural and geographic location variance. LaCharite said this process requires contributions from thousands of people for each new model.
There is not one Spanish. There are many flavors of Spanish and that means localization for Central and South American Spanish-speakers is not here today. However, once a base language model is completed, localization is a much faster process so it may well be that Mexico and some larger Spanish-speaking countries could still see Echo availability in 2018 or early 2019.
Sonos and Bose Both Coming to Spain with Alexa Onboard
The announcement also states that Sonos and Bose will distribute Alexa-enabled products in Spain "later this year." Device manufacturers that want to develop products with Alexa integration for Spain can request early access to a developer preview of Alexa Voice Service (AVS). This access program is invitation only. However, it means that consumers in Spain will not only have Echo products to choose from, but likely will see a variety of devices from manufacturers they are already familiar with for audio and home entertainment products.

Lawyer says no buffer zones needed around abortion clinics
Friday, 9th February 2018
A prominent Catholic lawyer has expressed concern that local governments are considering exclusion zones around abortion clinics, with no proof anyone is harassing pregnant women.
Neil Addison, director of the Thomas More Legal Centre and author of two legal textbooks on UK harassment law, said Marie Stopes International had failed to prove that pro-life pavement counsellors were intimidating its clients. Marie Stopes is an international nongovernmental organisation that provides abortion services.
The Marie Stopes clinic in west London wants the local Ealing Council to create a 'buffer zone' to keep anti-abortion advocates away from pregnant women. The council has agreed to undertake an eight-week public consultation, in which it will listen to a range of opinions before deciding what action to take.
If the council issues a Public Space Protection Order for a buffer zone, other local authorities across Britain are likely to follow suit. Local councils in London, Birmingham, Portsmouth and Manchester are considering establishing buffer zones around abortion clinics.
In written submission to Ealing Council, obtained by Catholic News Service on 7th February, Addison said there was no evidence of anti-social behaviour by members of the Good Counsel Network, a largely Catholic group that prays outside the clinic and offers leaflets to women entering.
He said legal measures, such as injunctions, to prevent menacing behaviour existed under the 1997 Protection from Harassment Act, but the clinic had made no attempt to obtain them. In the last decade, he said, the injunctions had proved successful in keeping animal rights protesters away from testing laboratories but could be granted only after judges considered evidence.
'If harassment has been occurring at the clinic, then I question why Marie Stopes has made no attempt to apply for injunctions under the Protection from Harassment Act,' Addison wrote. 'I also question why police would not bring prosecutions under the Harassment Act or the Public Order Act if harassment is taking place.'

SPRINGFIELD — Assistant Majority Leader Iris Y. Martinez's measure expanding the ability of schools and future teachers to participate in the Grow Your Own Teacher program became law today.
The Grow Your Own Teacher initiative is a program designed to train people to become teachers in hard-to-staff schools.
"Illinois is dealing with a teacher shortage, so we need to do all that we can to place dedicated teachers in schools," Martinez (D-Chicago) said. "We especially must work to ensure students at schools that are traditionally hard to staff, like those in low-incomes areas, have the same access to quality education as anyone else."
The new law will expand the definition of "eligible school" and "hard-to-staff" schools for the initiative to include early childhood programs in which no less than 40 percent of the children it serves are receiving subsidized care under the Department of Human Services' Child Care Assistance Program.
It will also extend eligibility for participation in the initiative to high school students enrolled in a dual credit course at a participating institution of higher education.
House Bill 35 is effective immediately.
SPRINGFIELD — Assistant Majority Leader Iris Y. Martinez (D-Chicago) released the following statement today as thousands continue to protest Puerto Rico's governor after leaked text messages uncovered crude, sexist and homophobic remarks made by him and others:
"I'm truly disappointed in the disparaging remarks made by Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello and his allies towards females, members of the LGBTQ community and our beloved island, among other things.
"Let's be clear, sexist and homophobic slurs don't have a place in our public discourse and only belittle the positions we're elected to serve. Our Puerto Rican brothers and sisters are angry, disappointed and feel disrespected by their government, and these feelings shouldn't be ignored.
"Puerto Rico has had many challenges in the past few years, and this situation greatly distracts from the social and economic problems that are facing the island today. I am asking Governor Rossello to put the well-being of Puerto Rico first and consider what is best to restore the joy, optimism and love our people are known for. Governor Rossello, listen to your people and do the right thing."
SPRINGFIELD — Assistant Majority Leader Iris Y. Martinez (D-Chicago) released the following statement today after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that there cannot be a citizenship question on the 2020 Census:
"I am glad the Supreme Court acted in the best interest of all Americans by ruling against the Trump administration's citizenship question. The proposed question was intended to frighten immigrants and discourage them from participating in the census, when full participation is vital to ensuring states get adequate representation in Congress and federal funding. The census is intended to be a full count of everyone residing in the United States, not a tool that the current president can use to further intimidate and terrorize immigrants."
Martinez appointed to Census Advisory Panel to ensure full count
Martinez: Budget works toward a brighter future for Illinois
Martinez: Illinois must remain safe state for reproductive health care
Martinez passes measure to protect students from sexual abuse
