Firstly let me state up front I am NOT a Doctor or any form of medical practitioner and I urge you to read the Disclaimer. I will NOT be making any medical recommendations, BUT I will be presenting facts I have gleaned through my comprehensive 18 years of cancer research and my own experience with both my wife's cancer and my own cancer over the last year.
Hopefully these facts will enable you to make better informed choices for your own healing programme.
I am very grateful to have lived a very privileged life in South Africa. I spent a very rewarding 27 years working for a large international Computer Company travelling all around the world while living with my beautiful wife and my 2 wonderful children in Johannesburg.
I subsequently established a non-profit organization supporting disadvantaged communities living in poverty ravaged communities living in the northern regions of South Africa.
In 2004 our family was rocked with the shocking news that my wife had cancer.
As a family we went through a very difficult and traumatic phase while my wife was suffering with liver cancer, before she passed away in 2005.
At the time that she was diagnosed, neither of us had any knowledge of cancer and automatically followed the standard process of seeing doctors and specialist oncologists and following their conventional treatment processes and procedures assuming that these were the best cancer treatment options available.
She was put onto an aggressive chemotherapy treatment and the next year can only be described as "living hell". She was petrified, lost her hair, was permanently nauseous, unable to eat, had unbelievable pain despite the pain medication, suffered numerous associated side effects, unable to sleep, crying for help and begging for relief.
Her passing away was a blessing, but extremely traumatic for the family and friends.
Watching what she went through was totally inhumane and I knew there had to be a better solution. This prompted me to spend my spare time over the next 3 years researching all aspects of cancer.
What I discovered was shocking and totally unbelievable which I will share with you later.
In 2011 I moved to Hermanus the whale watching capital of the world, to be close to my daughter and her family and for the last 6 years I have had the privilege of managing the Hermanus Rainbow Trust, a large charity organization providing comprehensive community and social development services and support to hundreds of orphans, vulnerable children and disadvantaged families living in poverty ravaged communities in our region.
Little did I know while doing my research that I would be diagnosed with cancer 10 years later?
In August 2016 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer that had spread into my lungs, liver, lymph nodes and my bone structure, including my spine, neck, shoulders, ribs and hips.
The Doctors wanted me to start chemotherapy immediately, saying this was the only slight chance I had of survival and suggested I got my affairs in order.
It was time to put my research into practice, and I knew exactly what I was going to do and I declined the chemotherapy.
The cancer turned out to be a "wake up" call from my body giving me a new opportunity to change my lifestyle.
As I was living alone and felt I had a lot to give back to our disadvantaged communities, I worked long hours every day of the week, not always eating healthy meals but enduring extreme stress continuously trying to find the necessary funding to support our 5 main support program's and our dedicated Social Workers and Social Carers, who work long hours and provide critical lifesaving services to our disadvantaged communities.
Suffice to say "stress" is by far the biggest cause of cancer in our modern times, with poor nutrition and unhealthy eating a close second. I will definitely be covering this in detail later.
Since August 2016 I have been on this roller coaster healing journey on my road to remission filled with fear, anxiety and many new difficult challenges interspersed with positive, happy and grateful moments prompted by my amazing "Cancer Buddy", all of which I am going to share with you over the next few months on this blog.
The most important things I have learned on my journey and strive to follow despite the challenging times, is to be positive, happy, healthy, humble, honest, loving caring motivating and most of all "grateful".
The other thing I learned from the amazing Dr Wayne Dyer, is to strive to never complain, criticize or judge.
Can you imagine how wonderful our world would be if we all practiced that.
Please feel free to contact me if you have something on your mind either through comments on the Blog pages or through my contact details.
Take care, be positive, happy, aware and grateful.

Work culture is created by the values, attitudes, perceptions and behaviors of the work team. It is most simply defined as 'the way we do things here' and grows over time to be a stable presence in the life of an organization. The prevailing work culture in corrections can be militaristic and punitive. Creating a culture of patient safety in the correctional setting is challenging but rewarding.
According to the Institutes of Medicine's Patient Safety publication, there are 5 key components to a culture of safety. These elements can be applied to correctional health care to move us toward a culture that advocates for patient safety at all levels.
Shared beliefs and values – All staff, and particularly site leadership, must share a value of patient safety and its central importance to care delivery. As much as we seek error-free practice, human systems mean errors are going to happen. "However, hazards and errors can be anticipated, and processes can be designed both to avoid failures and to prevent patient harm when a failure occurs" (IOM, 2004, pg 175). Patient safety should be seen as an investment rather than a cost.
Recruitment and training with patient safety in mind – Much of our orientation of new staff is focused on necessary procedures and tasks involved in the position. Orientation programs need to be revisited with an eye toward a patient safety perspective.
Organizational commitment to detecting and analyzing patient injuries and near misses – openness about errors and near misses can be particularly threatening in correctional health care. A culture of silence can exist that thwarts efforts to uncover system and clinician error. Once detected, injuries and near misses need adequate analysis to determine root causes and make system changes that will support safe patient care. This can be hard work and a punitive culture may wish to assign blame to individuals rather than seek to improve safety systems.
Open communication regarding patient injury results – This open communication is needed in order to truly improve the system. Once again, transparency is challenging in our care setting. Some systems may value the appearance of error-free work while hiding the actual reality of human systems.
A just culture – A just culture is a component of an overall safety culture that seeks a balance of learning from mistakes while taking disciplinary action when appropriate. Although many errors are the result of system flaws, inadequate processes or lack of training; some errors are caused by negligent or reckless behavior. A just culture differentiates among the causes of error and intervenes appropriately.
Organizations with a positive safety culture have several characteristics in common including staff communications founded on mutual trust, shared perceptions of the importance of safety, and a confidence in the safety systems that are in place. When patient safety is perceived as important, staff members are more willing to take personal responsibility for safety and act to preserve patient safety when it is jeopardize. Within a context of mutual trust, staff are willing to communicate safety concerns and modify behavior based on lessons learned from mistakes. And, confidence in the safety systems in place allows staff to focus on their primary roles while seeking additional safety enhancements to add reliability to the system.

If I may ask, how do you define "community standards" ? Would you say it is the surrounding community of jails, or is the actual standard of care in the residing community?
So glad you liked the post, Marsha. Your facility is going to be so awesome with all that you are doing. As to community standard, I have always interpreted that to be the care that your patient would receive if they were treated by your local health care system. Since we all end up being held to national standards of practice, it is a good idea to incorporate them when available. This would be ADA, Cancer Society, or AMA published standards. I like using FBOP guidelines when they are available as they have been written by expert panels.
Others in our blog community might have additional input on your community standards question and I welcome their contributions to our discussion.

Q: Multiple options in Django Rest Framework class ReservationSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Booking
        fields = [
            'pk',
            'persons',

            'menu'
            ]

This is my serializer class and I want the menu field to be a multiple checkbox fields
Below is my model class and here menu is a ManyToManyField. But I figured this is not the right way to go.
class Booking(models.Model):
    persons = models.IntegerField()
    date = models.DateField()
    time = models.TimeField()
    table_number = models.IntegerField()
    restaurants = models.ForeignKey('sb_comp.Restraurant', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    menu = models.ManyToManyField('sb_comp.Menu')

    def __str__(self):
        return '%s' % self.restaurants

A: Below is an example which would kind of put limit on what data should be saved in the Database, suppose if a Technician Department Field does not get a department which exists in the choices field would raise an Exception.
   class RepairOrder(models.Model):
        '''create a repair order entry by number'''
        ro_number = models.CharField(max_length=6, help_text='Enter six digit repair order number.')
        date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
        tech = models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=TECHS, default='none',
       help_text='Technician')

        job_type = models.ManyToManyField(WorkType)
        additional_details = models.TextField(null=True, help_text='Additional Information on Work to be Done')

I hope you got the image, Now for it to be Radio Button or Checkboxes, you need to work on your form widgets. Example:
class SomeForm(forms.ModelForm):

Bea Fones takes a look into Veganuary- is it a fad or is it the start of a sustainable change?
It's been nearly seven years since I stopped eating meat, and I have to say that I don't miss it (usually); this month, I'm taking on Veganuary for the first time. The initiative, launched in the UK in January 2014, encourages people to go vegan for the first month of the year, to "reduce the suffering of animals, help the planet and improve personal health." With a website offering vegan recipes, advice and information, it takes just a few clicks to take the pledge and dive right in. But at the end of the month, how effective really is Veganuary at getting people on board with a sustainable plant-based lifestyle?
I already avoid cow's milk, dairy spreads and yoghurts – it's just the dreaded cheese and eggs to phase out – as well as a lax attitude when it comes to shopping and eating in restaurants.
Meanwhile, my boyfriend, a dedicated gym-goer ("there's just so much less protein in this though…") and semi-regular visitor to Sidwell Street KFC, is taking the slightly less drastic challenge of… Vegetarianuary? Okay, not a thing. But I'm pretty sure that the first thing he's doing in February is heading to Co-Op for a decidedly NON veggie meal deal. Is this a widespread thing amongst those who go temporarily vegan, or vegetarian, or take on any diet or lifestyle-based challenge for January or any other month? Sober October saw me downing shots at a Halloween party as soon as the clock struck midnight, and I know I'm not the only one. Does restricting ourselves, especially if we aren't enjoying the change, simply cause us to fall back into old habits once the month is over?
And why do we do it in the first place? Perhaps, like me, you're thinking along the lines that eating fewer animal products is simply more sustainable and want to give veganism a go. Maybe you're well and truly in it for the animals – either way, ethical reasons are one of the biggest motivators for sticking with the lifestyle change.
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it amongst all the Veganuary hype, but I think the reason the lifestyle has never fully stuck for me before is that I'm not fully invested in the ethical reasoning behind it. Maybe I'm heartless, but the ever-cited vegan activist documentaries like Earthlings, Cowspiracy and Dominion don't really do it for me – but I've heard a lot of vegans say that was what persuaded them to make the change. Whilst those documentaries are certainly hard-hitting, something about guilting people into following a certain lifestyle – especially when it's peppered with problematic comparisons to slavery and genocide – which doesn't sit right with me. Nonetheless, from a utilitarian perspective, I can see all the environmental benefits of avoiding animal products.
There's no doubt that veganism can do great things for your health too, by incorporating more plant-based foods, and making you step away from the ready-meals and supermarket ingredients (as you often must, because honestly, why does everything contain milk powder?) Being more mindful of what goes into your food can give you more energy, get you cooking more creatively and even save your purse strings if you're savvy about it.
But for a lot of us, especially those without the know-how about replacement foods and essential nutrients, it can mean being a bit hungry, dissatisfied and thanking whatever deities might be watching that Chili Heatwave Doritos don't contain milk powder.
There's another aspect to it which some people might not stop to consider – for those of us with a history of eating disorders, there can be a danger in choosing to follow a more restricting diet. I've found that one of the more challenging things about veganism so far this month, and in the past, is less that I would be missing eating animal products, but more that I'm uncomfortable with not being able to eat something. That kind of limitation has, in the past, led me to approach what I'm eating in a less than healthy way.
Perhaps the most important thing with challenges like Veganuary is that we learn from them – and it can't be denied that the team behind the initiative is helping to spread the word. Educating yourself on environmental issues can only be a good thing and who knows; if it doesn't stick this month, it may do one day in the future. It's difficult to go from eating a diet completely inclusive of animal products to being fully vegan overnight. For some, it works – for others, a gradual transition is more effective.
I don't know whether I'll stick with being vegan once January is over. But I'm taking steps to replace cosmetic products with cruelty-free versions and in general, I do try to take small actions to make a bigger difference – like recycling, cutting down on packaging, donating unwanted clothes to charities and buying local and organic. At the end of the day, going fully vegan would be another positive step – but for me and many other Veganuary participants, it might require an extra push.

We are conveniently located close to the Mall of Georgia on Buford Drive(GA Hwy 20).
Living paycheck to paycheck is no way to go through life. If you are struggling with debt, avoiding answering the phone because its a debt collector or if your paycheck is being garnished, call me today for a free consultation. Bankruptcy doesn't have to be scary. I can help ease your financial burdens and give you peace of mind!
When should you consider Bankruptcy? Ask yourself if any of the below apply to you.
Never answer the phone without checking caller ID?
Know your rights when talking to creditors?
Rarely have enough money to cover monthly bills?
Usually only pay the minimum payments or less?
Put off paying a bill because you have to put food on the table?
The phrase "robbing Peter to pay Paul" applies to you?
Can't afford to miss even a single day of work?
You can't see yourself getting out from under your debts?
Exemptions ... In a BOX.
Every day, prospective clients call inquiring about bankruptcy options and one of the most asked questions is: Will I lose my property if I file a Chapter 7? Most of the time, the answer is NO.
Recently, I've had a couple of clients come in who are about to get married and who were considering filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The question they asked is: "Should they file bankruptcy before they got married or wait until afterward". In a lot of cases, it makes sense that a person would file a Chapter 7 before getting married.
If you have a second or third mortgage on your home, you may be eligible to strip the 2nd or 3rd lien off your home if your home is worth less that your current 1st mortgage. Lien Stripping is not a new idea in Bankruptcy but due to the current housing crisis, the practice is gaining ground. Lien stripping was not a common practice in the past mainly because most people has at least some equity in their home. Nowadays, with home prices falling, lien stripping may be an option for many people who are upside down with their mortgages.
A Chapter 13 is a Debt Repayment Plan. In a nutshell, a debtor's debts are consolidated into a Chapter 13 plan and a payment plan is developed and must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The most common examples of debts that would be included in a Bankruptcy plan are credit cards, medical bills, car payments and mortgage arrearage. For Mortgages, this means the amount you are behind on gets put into the bankruptcy plan to allow you to keep your house. Beginning the month after your case is filed, you must make your current mortgage payments.
If your house is scheduled for a foreclosure and you are working on a loan modification, keep in mind that the loan modification process does not necessarily stop the foreclosure process. Several clients have come to our Law Firm and said they were working on a loan modification and they thought that meant the foreclosure would automatically stop. This is NOT the case! If you are facing foreclosure, you can use the power of the Federal Bankruptcy Court to stop the foreclosure through filing a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy case.

The Arizona legislature recently amended its laws governing consumer lenders and those relating to judgment liens on real property. Both bills discussed in this memorandum are effective August 6, 2016.
That a Licensee may not pay a fee, commission or bonus or give anything of value to any merchant, dealer, consumer or other person for referring consumer lender loan business, other than the fees permitted pursuant to the federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act.
· Disability income protection insurance providing a benefit if a total disability occurs during the terms of insurance.
The Licensee does not offer or discuss with the consumer the option of accidental death and dismemberment insurance or disability income protection insurance until after the consumer lender loan application is completed and the consumer lender loan is approved.
A certified copy of the judgment of any court in Arizona may be filed and recorded in the office of the county recorder in each county where the judgment creditor desires the judgment to become a lien on the real property of the judgment debtor. On recording in substantial compliance with the legal requirements, the judgment becomes a lien on the real property of the judgment debtor, including any part of the real property of the judgment debtor as otherwise provided by law. For failure to substantially comply, the judgment does not become a lien.
A civil judgment in favor of the State of Arizona is exempt from the requirement to record an information statement as prescribed by law and becomes a lien on the real property of the judgment debtor when it is recorded in the office of the county recorder. This applies retroactively to all judgments in favor of the State of Arizona without regard to when the judgment was recorded.
Any judgment or decree or any renewal that requires the payment of money and that is recorded, will not become a lien on real property until a separate information statement is attached to the judgment being recorded. Any such judgment, decree or renewal that is not accompanied by the separate information statement does not become a lien on real property until the judgment creditor records a document entitled "amendment to recorded judgment" that contains a separate information statement.
A civil judgment in favor of the State of Arizona is exempt from the above requirements. The above requirements apply retroactively to all judgments in favor of the state of Arizona without regard to when the judgment was recorded.

Obama, Romney to meet at White House Thursday
Published on Thursday, 29 November 2012 18:17
Written by JULIE PACE and STEVE PEOPLES
By JULIE PACE and
STEVE PEOPLES
President Barack Obama will host his former political rival Mitt Romney for a private lunch at the White House Thursday, their first meeting since the election.
Obama promised in his victory speech earlier this month to engage with Romney following their bitter campaign and consider the Republican's ideas.
"In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov. Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward," Obama said at the time.
Obama aides said they reached out to Romney's team shortly before Thanksgiving to start working on a date for the meeting. The two men will meet in the White House's private dining room, with no press coverage expected.
In the days after his loss, Romney told top donors that the president was re-elected because of the "gifts" Obama provided to blacks, Hispanics and young voters, all of which are core Obama constituencies.
"The president's campaign, if you will, focused on giving targeted groups a big gift," Romney said.
Many Republican officials, eager to move on quickly after the loss, disputed Romney's comments and urged the party to focus on being more inclusive.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama was looking forward to having a "useful discussion" with his former competitor. But he said there was no formal agenda for the lunch.
While in Washington, Romney will also meet with his former running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, according to a Romney campaign aide. Ryan is back on Capitol Hill, where he's involved in negotiations to avert a series of automatic tax increases and deep spending cuts that have come to be known as the "fiscal cliff."
Much of that debate centers on expiring tax cuts first passed by George W. Bush. Obama and Romney differed sharply during the campaign over what to do with the cuts, with the Republican pushing for them to be extended for all income earners and the president running on a pledge to let the cuts expire for families making more than $250,000 a year.
The White House sees Obama's victory as a signal that Americans support his tax proposals.
Obama and Romney's sit-down Thursday will likely be their most extensive private meeting ever. The two men had only a handful of brief exchanges before the 2012 election.
Even after their political fates became intertwined, their interactions were largely confined to the three presidential debates.
Romney has virtually disappeared from politics following his loss in the Nov. 6 election. He's spent the last three weeks largely in seclusion at his family's southern California home. He has made no public appearances, drawing media attention only after being photographed at Disneyland in addition to stops at the movies and the gym with his wife, Ann.
Former aides confirm that Romney is expected to move into an office at the Boston-area venture capital firm Solamere Capital. The firm was founded by his oldest son, Tagg Romney, and Spencer Zwick, who served as his presidential campaign's national finance chairman.
It's unclear what role, if any, Romney will play at the firm. Former aides said Romney was subletting office space from Solamere.

Guitar Hero Smash Hits
Guitar Hero Compilation Revealed
Bringing the classics back for another spin, this time with the whole band.
By Erik Brudvig
Updated: May 12, 2012 12:02 am
Posted: Mar 4, 2009 11:42 pm
Though the basic Guitar Hero formula hasn't drastically changed since it first burst onto the scene, small updates have come with each successive release. Most recently, with Guitar Hero World Tour, the franchise expanded to a full band. While you were busy banging away on the drums and belting out karaoke lounge quality vocals, Activision and development studio Beenox were working on updating some of the classic Guitar Hero tunes to work with this new format.
The package of 48 songs -- all master recordings pulled from Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s and Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock -- is called Guitar Hero Greatest Hits (though that is a working title for the PS3 and PS2 versions) and it will be hitting Xbox 360, Wii, PS3 and PS2 this June. All of the modes you've come to know and love will be in the package, including eight player online battle of the bands, the Guitar Hero music studio, the rockstar creator and, of course, career mode.
On Xbox 360 and PS3 it will have a suggested retail price of $59.99, while Wii and PS2 will be $49.99 and $39.99 respectively.
Click the image for the first trailer.
Now for the important details, including the announcement of the first eight tracks, provided by Paul Gadbois, producer at Beenox.
IGN: The announcement mentions that the songs will have "updated note tracks." How different will the guitar parts be? Will there be a substantial re-learning process for those that have mastered the songs on previous Guitar Hero releases?
Paul Gadbois: Guitar Hero has evolved a lot since the debut of the original Guitar Hero in 2005. Since then, we have seen improvements with the hammer-on, pull-off mechanics, sustained notes, three-note chords, the touch-sensitive slide bar, the addition of Bass Guitar tracks, just to name a few. Another major change for Guitar Hero was the transition from "cover tracks" to Master Tracks." The note tracks in these songs take all these features into account. All of the songs retain their original essence, but now are enhanced with the sound quality and accuracy of using master tracks, plus new twists to riffs, new solo challenges and a lot more… Anyone familiar with Guitar Hero will be able to master these and have a lot of fun while doing it.
IGN: What process was used for selecting which songs would make the Greatest Hits list? Were there any songs you wanted to include that couldn't make it due to licensing restrictions?
Paul Gadbois: This was very exciting and very challenging as well. We wanted to come up with an ideal setlist that would appeal to long term players and newcomers. Put simply, we chose the songs that we felt were the most fun based on the music experience and the gameplay experience – both solo and full band. We ended up with a one of a kind setlist that we feel represents the best, most entertaining music from the Guitar Hero franchise.
Go ahead and try to sing like Freddy Mercury.
IGN: Which songs made the cut?
Paul Gadbois: You'll be happy to know that the final setlist includes 48 master tracks from Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s and Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and we are announcing eight of them today. So here it goes:
"Them Bones" by Alice in Chains, Queen's "Killer Queen," "Nothin' But A Good Time" by Poison, Rage Against The Machine's "Killing in the Name," "I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts's "I Love Rock N Roll," Heart's "Barracuda." … oh and Guitar Hero III favorite Dragonforce's "Through the Fire and Flames!"
IGN: How impossible will "Through the Fire and Flames" be on the new Expert+ mode?
Paul Gadbois: The Expert+ mode is a drummer only feature; this song has never been previously released in band play and the question should be: "How impossible will "Through the Fire and Flames" be on drums?" And I would reply: "Get some spare arms and legs; you'll need them if you don't want to fail before the guitar part!"
IGN: Eight new venues are being added. Will any classic venues from other Guitar Hero games be recreated for this release?
Paul Gadbois: Like all games, the development team first has to sit down and brainstorm all the different directions a game can take until you all agree on what would be the coolest. We all agreed on one thing: "We need to play the greatest songs in the greatest places." From there spawned the idea to travel the wonders of the world so we explored all the different sites going through the Ancient, Medieval, Modern, Underwater, and Industrial wonders (to name a few). With this gigantic list of possibilities we finally managed to cut it down to the final list that made it into the game. Here's a preview of some of the fantastic places you'll visit: "The Amazon Rain Forest," "The Polar Ice Caps" and "The Grand Canyon."
IGN: Will downloadable tracks purchased for Guitar Hero World Tour work with this disc? What about GHTunes songs?
Paul Gadbois: Guitar Hero Greatest Hits (working title on PS3/PS2) will support the entire library of downloadable user-created songs from GHTunes and players can once again create and publish their own songs from the Music Studio.
Currently, downloadable songs for Guitar Hero World Tour will work with that title only.
IGN: Will there be any way to purchase this disc and import the songs into Guitar Hero World Tour (or vice versa) to have all of the tracks accessible at once?
Paul Gadbois: The 48 songs in this game will all be instantly playable and are designed to be playable off the disc only.
IGN: Have any updates been made to the Band Career or online modes that Guitar Hero World Tour fans should look forward to?
Paul Gadbois: Everyone seemed to really like Guitar Hero World Tour so we focused our attention on the navigation system to get players into the game even quicker. New shortcuts and new screen layouts were introduced to make quickplay as "quick" as possible
IGN: What about the Music Studio? Have any updates been made it into that feature?
Paul Gadbois: The team's work on the Music Studio mostly focused on the user interface and improvement on instrument samples. Players will be able to experience all the great original content that has been released on GHTunes since Guitar Hero World Tour and will be able to contribute to the community through Guitar Hero Greatest Hits (working title).
Everyone's dream venue: The Amazon.
IGN: Have any celebrities signed on to have their likeness included in the game for Greatest Hits?
Paul Gadbois: As Guitar Hero Greatest Hits is both a nod to the past, with the best and most memorable songs from the franchise, as well as a look forward, with full band play and all master tracks, we wanted to keep the game about the music and as such, focused on the original characters from the franchise. The combination of classic characters like Lars, Johnny, Axel, Casey and the classic songs was too good to pass up.

Securing clean drinking water is increasingly difficult in the United States. Aging infrastructure, increasing demand, extreme weather fueled by climate change, and rapidly developing landscapes are taxing capacities, driving up cost of water treatment, and posing challenges to the long-term sustainability of our water supply. The American Water Works Association (AWWA) expects the US will require over $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over the next 25 years to meet anticipated needs, if current funding does not increase. So how do we meet the infrastructure needs to secure our water, given widespread fiscal constraints?
A strong case can be made for source water protection as a flexible, cost-effective component of an integrated water resources management strategy. It is far more effective to prevent or reduce sources of contaminants at their source than it is to treat them at a public water system. Despite the strong economic argument and the many apparent benefits these strategies could provide to water resource managers and the community at large, source water protection is an underutilized and underfunded strategy.
Over the next month, the Source Water Collaborative Learning Exchange will delve into the oft-discussed topic of funding. It will provide resources and showcase a range of case examples that practitioners can use to scope source water protection funding options for their communities. Communities often have more financial options than they think.
The Learning Exchange is also excited to host two separate webinar events. The first, on November 2nd, will focus on the topic of watershed investment programs and will feature a "virtual panel" format, during which presenters will field questions from webinar participants over an extended, one and a half hour session. The second, on November 10th, will provide an overview of new Drinking Water State Revolving Fund eligibilities and feature presentations from successful funding programs from across the U.S.. Register on the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators website.
As always, if you have a compelling story or a new resource to share, or if you just want to connect with peers, reach out to the Collaborative via email or get in touch with a potential partner on the Allies directory.

Insulations Material Guides
K-Value, U-Value, R-Value, C-Value
Gordon H. Hart
Gordon H. Hart, P.E., is a consulting engineer for Artek Engineering, LLC. He has over 35 years of experience working in the thermal insulation industry. He is an active member of ASTM committees, including Committees C16 on thermal insulation and F25 on marine technology, ASHRAE's Technical Committee on Insulation for Mechanical Systems, and the National Insulation Association's Technical Information Committee. He received his BSE degree from Princeton University. and his MSE degree from Purdue University, both in mechanical engineering. He is a registered professional engineer. He can be reached at gordon.hart®@artekengineering.com.
In most applications, the primary feature of a thermal insulation material is its ability to reduce heat exchange between a surface and the environment, or between one surface and another surface. This is known as having a low value for thermal conductivity. Generally, the lower a material's thermal conductivity, the greater its ability to insulate for a given material thickness and set of conditions.
If it is really that simple, then why are there so many different terms, such as K-value, U-value, R-value, and C-value? Here is an overview with relatively simple definitions.
K-value
K-value is simply shorthand for thermal conductivity. The ASTM Standard C168, on Terminology, defines the term as follows:
Thermal conductivity, n: the time rate of steady state heat flow through a unit area of a homogeneous material induced by a unit temperature gradient in a direction perpendicular to that unit area.
This definition is really not that complex. Let's take a closer look, phrase by phrase.
Time rate of heat flow can be compared to water flow rate, e.g., water flowing through a shower head at so many gallons per minute. It is the amount of energy, generally measured in the United States in Btus, flowing across a surface in a certain time period, usually measured in hours. Hence, time rate of heat flow is expressed in units of Btus per hour.
Steady state simply means that the conditions are steady, as water flowing out of a shower head at a constant rate.
Homogeneous material simply refers to one material, not two or three, that has a consistent composition throughout. In other words, there is only one type of insulation, as opposed to one layer of one type and a second layer of a second type. Also, for the purposes of this discussion, there are no weld pins or screws, or any structural metal passing through the insulation; and there are no gaps.
What about through a unit area? This refers to a standard cross-sectional area. For heat flow in the United States, a square foot is generally used as the unit area. So, we have units in Btus per hour, per square feet of area (to visualize, picture water flowing at some number of gallons per minute, hitting a 1 ft x 1 ft board).
Finally, there is the phrase by a unit temperature gradient. If two items have the same temperature and are brought together so they touch, no heat will flow from one to the other because they have the same temperature. To have heat flow by conduction from one object to another, where both are touching, there must be a temperature difference or gradient. As soon as there is a temperature gradient between two touching objects, heat will start to flow. If there is thermal insulation between those two objects, heat will flow at a lesser rate.
At this point, we have rate of heat flow per unit area, per degree temperature difference with units of Btus per hour, per square foot, per degree F.
Thermal conductivity is independent of material thickness. In theory, each slice of insulation is the same as its neighboring slice. The slices should be of some standard thickness. In the United States, units of inches are typically used for thickness of thermal insulation. So we need to think in terms of Btus of heat flow, for an inch of material thickness, per hour, per square foot of area, per degree F of temperature difference.
After picking apart the ASTM C168 definition for thermal conductivity, we have units of Btu-inch/hour per square foot per degree F. This is the same as the term K-value.
C-value
C-value is simply shorthand for thermal conductance. For a type of thermal insulation, the C-value depends on the thickness of the material; K-value generally does not depend on thickness (there are a few exceptions not in the scope of this article). How does ASTM C168 define thermal conductance?
Conductance, thermal, n: the time rate of steady state heat flow through a unit area of a material or construction induced by a unit temperature difference between the body surfaces.
ASTM C168 then gives a simple equation and units. In the inch-pound units used in the United States, those units are Btus/hour per square foot per degree F of temperature difference.
The words are fairly similar to those in the definition for thermal conductivity. What is missing is the inch units in the numerator because the C-value for a 2-inch-thick insulation board is half the value as it is for the same material 1-inch-thick insulation board. The thicker the insulation, the lower its C-value.
Equation 1:	C-value = K-value / thickness
Typically, this term is used to describe the labeled performance rating of building insulation one can buy in a lumber yard. It is used less frequently for mechanical insulation, but it is still a useful term to understand. Its official designation is thermal resistance. This is how ASTM C168 defines it:
Resistance, thermal, n: the quantity determined by the temperature difference, at steady state, between two defined surfaces of a material or construction that induces a unit heat flow through a unit area.
ASTM C168 then provides an equation, followed by typical units. In the inch-pound units, thermal resistance is measured in degrees F times square feet of area times hours of time per Btus of heat flow.
Most people know that for a given insulation material, the thicker it is, the greater the R-value. For example, for a particular type of insulation board, a 2-inch-thick board will have twice the R-value of the 1-inch-thick board.
Equation 2:	R-value = 1 / C-value
If the C-value is 0.5, then the R-value is 2.0. One can calculate it from the equation for C-value in Equation 1 above:
Equation 3:	R-value = thickness / K-value
Thus, if the thickness is 1 inch, and the K-value is 0.25, then the R-value is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4 (leaving off the units for brevity).
U-value
Finally, there is U-value, known officially as thermal transmittance. This is more of an engineering term used to designate the thermal performance of a system as opposed to a homogeneous material. The ASTM C168 definition is as follows:
Transmittance, thermal, n: the heat transmission in unit time through unit area of a material construction and the boundary air films, induced by unit temperature difference between the environments on each side.
There are a few new terms: the boundary air films and between the environments on each side. The previous definitions did not refer to environments.
The best way to illustrate thermal transmittance or U-value is through an example. Consider the wall of a typical insulated house with nominal 2 x 4 boards (which actually measure about 1-1/2 inches x 3-1/2 inches), spaced 16 inches on center, running vertically. One might see 3/8-inch-thick gypsum wall board on the inside of the wall, with a plastic film vapor barrier separating the gypsum wall board from the wood studs. Fiberglass batts may be filling the 3-1/2-inch-wide spaces between the 2 x 4 studs. On the outside of the studs, there might be 1/2-inch-thick polystyrene insulation boards covered with exterior wood sheathing. This example will ignore doors and windows, as well as the K-value and thickness of the plastic sheet used as the vapor barrier.
The calculation of the wall's U-value is sufficiently complex to be beyond the scope of this article, but the following values must be known or at least estimated for its thermal transmittance to be calculated: *
C-value of the indoor air film
K-value of the 3/8-inch gypsum wall board
K-value of the 3-1/2-inch-wide wood studs
Spacing between the studs (16 inches, in this case)
K-value of the fiberglass insulation batts, as well as their thickness (3-1/2 inches thick)
Width of the fiberglass batts (16 inches minus the 1-1/2 inch thickness of the wood studs = 14-1/2 inches)
K-value of the polystyrene boards and their thickness (1/2 inch)
K-value and thickness of the wood siding materials
C-value of the outdoor air film
The lower the U-value, the lower the rate of heat flow for a given set of conditions. A well-insulated building wall system will have a much lower U-value, or thermal transmittance, than an uninsulated or poorly insulated system.
To determine a mechanical insulation system's U-value accurately, one must account for heat transfer through the homogeneous insulation as well as through any breaches and expansion gaps with a different insulation material. There is also the outside air film and occasionally an inside air film.
In reality, many non-homogenous portions are typically unaccounted for. The standard thermal conductivity test procedures typically treat the material as being homogeneous. In real applications, there are joints and sometimes cracks in rigid materials. These inconsistencies make the U-value greater than if the insulation behaved as a homogeneous material.
The concepts of K-value, C-value, R-value, and U-value can be summed up in the following rules:
The better insulated a system, the lower its U-value.
The greater the performance of a piece of insulation, the greater its R-value and the lower its C-value.
The lower the K-value of a particular insulation material, the greater its insulating value for a particular thickness and given set of conditions.
These are the properties upon which users of thermal insulation depend for energy savings, process control, personnel protection, and condensation control.
* Values for all of the above can be found in the ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals, Chapter 25: "Thermal and Water Vapor Transmission Data." Chapters 23 through 26 of the same ASHRAE manual also discuss calculation of the wall's U-value.
Comparison of Several Insulation Materials
Relationship between R-value and K-value
Heat transfer through a building envelope is really a function of the wall's or roof's U-value, not just the R-value of the thermal insulation.
This figure, Plate #26 from the Midwest Insulation Contractors Association (MICA) National Commercial and Industrial Insulation Standards (1999), gives an idea of why an insulation system will not perform as well as one would assume using continuous, homogeneous insulation.

Q: Implicit downcasting of std::shared_ptr. Why does this compile? My understanding was that to cast a std::shared_ptr<Base> to a std::shared_ptr<Derived> you needed to use std::dynamic_pointer_cast. However I found that I was able to do the following with g++ 4.7 and I have no idea why. I suspect it's a compiler bug, however I wondered if there was something in the standard I'd missed.
