...where 73 were US. While docking at La Marina Hemingway in Havana, they would start unpacking stuff and downloading BBQs, sausages and bikes. Some were unfolding chairs for kicking back and relax while lightning a cigar and have some beers. Thought I could get along well with these guys easily. After 4 days of fishing, we saw some good captures on video since they have to comply with the ¨catch and release¨ rules. They could keep anything but the marlins or sailfish. There were some yellow fin tuna ready to cook though. Some of the boatnames were funnier than others. Here´s a list. Get a lot. Damn Yankees. Reel Xcape. Champagne Lady. Salinity. Rose. Yellow Hammer. Mad Hatter. Philosophy. Lady Simone. Smooth More. Emily Bliss. Hi-Ho. Reel Party. Hope. Amapola. Isla Mist. Reel Excuse. Della Ann. Karma. Sand dancer. Contender. Wayne´s world. Anet among others. Well, the first place went to Charlie from Un…believable and second and third were also going for the boats of the Stuart Club. That night on stage, the President of the Club was very thankful to the authorities and the event organizers when all of the sudden he announced they were going to have a raffle. That was unexpected. And certainly the Cuban authorities at La Marina wouldn't let him to do so. Funny anyway how the microphone was off immediately afterward. They all had a great time here aside from the temporary setbacks and the last minute renovation works conducted at La Marina. Even my cigar buddy Toby was indeed enjoying the day. Till next year, anglers.
...when hopping in the old American cars en route to Old Havana every day for rehearsals and fun. The Cruise Show was a success, at least so they say. Without further ado, music started playing and ethereal girls started strolling up and down the Prado, the famous promenade setting the boundaries between Havana Centro and Old Havana, which was turned into a catwalk in a matter of days. I was not able to be a part of that, but I managed to get some pics, some outdoors and casual but there were also some studio pictures as shown here. Enjoy the pics below. Cigars played a part in the show as well.
Happy Born Day. Bless the physical!
The red areas are the Partido region, three years ago expanded to Matanzas where the climate is similar to Pinar del Rio but not the soil. Correction: The green areas are the Partido region on the map. It is a common slip.

There also appeared to be a spontaneous mass middle finger salute. Ken, my friend, take some notes on it. That was really a response to tyrany...thumbs up for evolutionary leader Goreta. It´s too late now to suffoocate rebellion form the masses.....Rob that was hilarious!!!!!!!!!
Punch Joe replied to Ken Gargett's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
3 things to consider Ecuador is one of the few countries where Cubans need no visa for visiting or working. Ecuador rather than Nicaragua, has not had the help or know how of Cuban researchers or technicians in the past. Nicaragua in the eighties witnessed the arrival of waves of Cubans technician to improve and grow cuban tobacco varieties there. Habanos s.a. was not aware of such entrerprise...but something was on the air since August 2009 though May I think this is completely unknown from some authorities? Sure not. But who are backing this or somehow involved is the question I find difficult to answer. Hope the best for the family and there´s many ways to make life harder for anyone specially if you are a sensitive grower with a great heart.
My condolences. shocking news indeed!

Q: Push Notification does not bring my Android app to foreground I'm wondering if this is normal behaviour of push notifications on an Android device :
When sending a hybrid GCM message with notification (including body, title, icon and sound items) and data payload, my Android device is displaying the message in its notification drawer. That's OK. However, tapping on the message does not bring my app to the foreground and it looks like my app is never receiving the message.
When I omit the notification payload, so just a data message, then my message is received by my app and I can handle it. In this case it's not displayed in the drawer but I could do it from within my app if I want to.
Moreover, for a hybrid message, when I just remove the icon item from the notification payload, the message is also deliverd to my app and not displayed in the drawer.
Looks very strange to me. It looks like, when a complete notification part is present in the message, Android is handling the message and never delivering it to the app.
Am I missing something here...?
(App is developed with Xamarin.Android - maybe something missing in the manifest file ?)

I recently watched your 60 Minutes piece about so-called drive-by ADA lawsuits. As a person with a disability, I too am dismayed by law firms that choose to target businesses for minor Americans With Disabilities Act violations. But by choosing this small number of questionable lawsuits as the focus of your story, you've missed the bigger picture of continued, pervasive inaccessibility 26 years after a law that was supposed to ensure equal rights for people with disabilities.
I was born with cerebral palsy, and have lived as a wheelchair user both before and after the Americans With Disabilities Act was passed. I live a full and successful life today thanks to IDEA and the ADA. Before these laws, I might have been placed in an institution, or been trapped at home without any opportunities for education or employment. Instead, I was included with my non-disabled peers in public school, graduated from Stanford University, and have been employed in meaningful jobs for the past 20 years. I have shopped for groceries, attended concerts, and eaten at a wide variety of restaurants. I have visited 36 US states, and as a travel blogger I share my experiences with accessibility in big cities and small towns. I've seen how far we have come… and how far we still have to go.
Although the ADA was passed over 26 years ago, many businesses are still not wheelchair accessible. I'm not talking about a parking space without a sign, or a mirror that's an inch too high. Nor am I talking about a business on the third floor of a 100-year-old building with no elevator. I'm talking about simple yet significant problems that could and should have been solved years ago.
Let me give you an example, one everyone can see. I know you're a New Yorker. I have visited New York City many times, and something stood out to me that I bet you haven't even noticed. So let me show you. The next time you go for a walk in New York City, look at the entrance of every business you pass. Ask yourself, "Could I get in that store if I used a wheelchair?" You'll start to see how many have a step to get in. One single step. I can't access any of those businesses. I can't eat their food or buy their antiques or sip their drinks. And neither can anybody else in a wheelchair.
As a wheelchair user, there's something especially infuriating about places with one step. It's such a small barrier, so simple to fix, yet in 26 years no one has bothered. No one at that business has cared enough to value us as customers, let alone follow the law. This problem is ubiquitous in NYC. And you probably haven't noticed it, Anderson, but it hits close to home. Very close to home. When I started to write this piece, I did a bit of research on your life. I noticed your partner, Benjamin Maisani, owns a few bars in New York City. So of course I wondered, are his bars ADA compliant? And it turns out that at least one of them is not.
Maisani owns three bars. The Atlas Social Club has an accessible entrance. Bedlam seems to have something of a ramp, though it's quite rough. But the Eastern Bloc, on the Lower East Side, has, you guessed it, one step at the entrance. Now as a lesbian, male go-go dancers aren't really my thing. But my gay male friend with cerebral palsy would certainly enjoy an evening there — if he could get inside. I suggest examining the blatant accessibility problems with your own business before running a story that implies most ADA violations are minor.
When businesses complain about the supposed high cost of ADA accessibility, they forget how quickly basic modifications will pay for themselves. Consider a small NYC grocery store with a step at the entrance. Let's say they spend $2000 to install a ramp — which they can deduct from their taxes. This gains them one customer who uses a wheelchair… just one. Doesn't sound impressive, right? But he shops every week and spends $100 each time. With just that customer, they'll cover the cost of their ramp in new profits within the year. And chances are, he won't be the only new shopper. Parents with strollers, people on crutches with temporary injuries, and elderly folks will also visit the store when before they might have gone somewhere else. Accessibility is a human right, and it helps everyone.
As I mentioned, I travel all over the country. Some cities and states are better than others when it comes to access. But I've experienced major violations of the ADA everywhere. I've applied for jobs and had companies respond with enthusiasm when they see my education and experience on a resume, then watched an interviewer's face fall when I rolled into the office with my wheelchair. I've gone without a shower for two days because a major hotel chain gave the wheelchair accessible room I reserved to someone else. I've missed out on parties and concerts because the venue had a step. I've had to visit several businesses in an area just to find one where I could use the bathroom. I've nearly tipped my wheelchair over trying to navigate broken curb cuts and potholes in sidewalks.
I didn't file a lawsuit about any of these incidents, because I didn't have a lawyer. But if I had, I would have won. These are the kinds of Americans with Disabilities Act violators you should be talking about on your show, the companies that have had 26 years to become accessible but would rather shirk their responsibilities. The vast majority of lawsuits involve significant access barriers. Why aren't you talking about those?
Mr. Cooper, I've seen you show tremendous respect for people with disabilities before. After Adrianne Haslet-Davis was injured in the Boston Marathon bombing, I followed her story closely, and watched you help her on her journey through grief into accepting herself as a person with a disability and recognizing how much she could still accomplish. I admired you for this, and for much of the other work you've done. I don't understand why you would pursue a hit piece against a community that already struggles so much for equal rights. But it's not too late to fix this. Here's how.
I'm inviting you, Anderson Cooper, to meet me in New York City for another 60 Minutes story about the ADA. We can wade through the throngs in Times Square, or get some dumplings in Chinatown. We can try to take a subway from Midtown to Battery Park, or look for a wheelchair accessible cab to hail in the East Village. We can visit your favorite spots and see how many of them I can enjoy, too. I promise, you'll see a different side of this issue, and your perspective will forever be changed.
My motto is "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single ramp." Do you have the courage to join me on a journey, to learn what it's like to be a person with a disability navigating the world? Just let me know the time and place, and I'll be there.

A Solid History of Limestone
Have you ever wondered where limestone forms? Or how civilization has used it for thousands of years? Limestone has a storied history because of its commonality and valuable physical properties. Its origins are a mixture of history, science, innovation, and creativity.
How Is Limestone Created?
What is the origin of limestone? Limestone is a common sedimentary rock that contains more than 50% calcium carbonate. Although it comes in many different forms, its origins can be traced back to either chemical or biochemical processes that occurred in the geological past, often tens to hundreds of millions years ago.
Biochemical Limestone
When marine organisms die, they accumulate on the ocean floor. Their soft organic parts decay, leaving only their exoskeletons, which break down over long periods. These sediments are transformed into bioclastic limestone when carbonate cement fills the gaps between the shell fragments. This process happens in warm, tropical waters and is called tropical bioclastic limestone. In cooler waters at mid to high latitudes, it's called temperate bioclastic limestone.
When reef-building corals congregate in large numbers, the structure preserves itself as it transforms into tropical limestone reef rock.
Lithification
Converting shell sediments into solid rock consists of many steps. First, the increasing weight of accumulating sediment compacts the shell fragments slowly. Compaction forces the pieces together, limiting the space between them and driving out the contained water. The fragments are gradually fused together. Finally, more compression and burial can cause some alteration or recrystallization of the calcite to make the rock even harder.
Chemical Limestone
Some limestones form from marine and other waters with a lot of calcium carbonate. If forces remove carbon dioxide from this water, calcium carbonate will likely occur. For example, the rock found along tropical beaches is limestone that forms this way. Some limestones also form in freshwater environments near caves, springs, and lakes.
Metamorphic Limestone
If a body of limestone is squeezed and deformed by heat and pressure over time, it changes into recrystallized limestone or marble. Marble is hard, polishable, and often used for building and sculpture.
Why Is It Called Limestone?
Limestone gets its name because the sediment releases lime when burned.
What Are the Historical Uses of Limestone?
Humankind has used limestone for thousands of years, from the Egyptian pyramids to Roman road construction to modern-day industries.
Here's a brief timeline of limestone and its many uses.
Limestone in Pyramids and Temples
Egyptians extensively quarried the limestone deposits flanking Egypt's River Nile to supply building materials for constructing pyramids and temples. The Great Pyramid of Giza, the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex, consists of about 2.3 million limestone blocks averaging one cubic meter in size and weighing 2 to 3 tons each.
Roman Lime Production Technology
Between 300 BCE and 200 CE, the Romans improved the technology for making lime and lime mortar. A cement made from slaked lime mixed with volcanic ash was found near Pozzuoli at Naples Bay and hardens both in the air and underwater.
Lime Mortar Floors
Scientists discovered a lime mortar floor from 7,000 BCE in Yiftah El, Israel. Hydrated lime made up the floor, which is created by heating limestone and adding water.

Lime Cement in Roman Roads
At the end of Emperor Augustus's reign, the Roman Empire divided itself into over 100 provinces connected by over 350 roads. Builders used lime cement to hold roading stones together as a base core and filler.
The Dark Ages and the Decreased Use of Lime
Scholars generally agree that the end of the Roman Empire in Europe was the start of the Dark Ages. During the political and social upheaval, the application of limestone and lime in major construction diminished. Some believe this was because of the loss of technology and knowledge from disease, illiteracy, and war.
The Whitening of the Great Tower of London
King Henry III ordered the whitening of the Great Tower of London inside and out. Workers likely used a slaked limestone mixture or whitewash to paint the tower's stonework. How exactly does limestone whiten? Over some time, calcium carbonate crystals form, displaying a bright white surface.
Restoration of the Great Wall of China
Workers carried out restoration efforts on the Great Wall during the Ming Dynasty (1368 to 1644). This restoration involved using vast amounts of lime mortar to cement the wall's countless miles of stonework.
A total of 5 billion tons of limestone are used annually in steel production, cement production, agriculture, and construction. Many products extracted straight from limestone, like calcium carbonate, have many applications.
For example, in 1926, Waldo Semon developed a method for transforming PVC material into a more useful form. He discovered a way to plasticize PVC by mixing it with additives like calcium carbonate, which is made by crushing limestone, considerably expanding its economical application.
Adrian Pilkington and Kenneth Bickerstaff developed a float glass technique in the 1950s in which silica, sodium carbonate, and lime are first heated to an extremely high temperature to create soda-lime glass. Then, people can transform the molten glass into plate glass after floating it over a bed of molten tin.
To transition from acid to alkaline manufacturing processes, the paper-making industry must replace filler additions like kaolin clay with PCC, a type of calcium carbonate. Limestone is the primary raw material used in the production of PCC.

NWCPHP Research Aims to Make a Difference in Emergency Preparedness
NWCPHP's PERRCoLATE team.
NWCPHP's PERRCoLATE research project investigates implementation realities to improve public health preparedness systems.
It's been a month of hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and earthquakes—disasters that underscore the need for training and planning so that public health agencies are ready in a disaster or emergency. But with time and resources for the everyday functions of public health increasingly scarce, it's more important than ever to invest in preparedness work that is proven to make a difference.
In collaboration with NWCPHP, the University of Washington's PERRCoLATE research project has been investigating how to build the evidence base for implementing preparedness system innovations in public health organizations. Funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the project builds on years of CDC-supported research that has informed development of public health emergency preparedness tools and trainings to take the next step: investigating the key challenges and success factors for using these tools and trainings to improve the preparedness system.
"Our work has begun to expose implementation challenges to preparedness and emergency response systems in the United States," says Janet Baseman, PhD, MPH, principal investigator of the project. "We hope that by bringing these challenges to light, researchers and public health agency leaders will be able to start a conversation to come up with strategies for breaking down the barriers to better functioning public health preparedness and response systems."
To do this, the PERRCoLATE project field-tested three products that were developed through NWCPHP's CDC-funded Preparedness and Emergency Response Research Center (PERRC) and Preparedness and Emergency Response Learning Center (PERLC) projects. The products, all of which are available to the public at no cost, incorporate research evidence regarding improving communications during emergencies: an online training module that focuses on protocols and procedures for effectively communicating with the public about risks; a customizable "forced decision-making" tabletop exercise that focuses on applying evidence-based risk communications strategies as an influenza pandemic scenario unfolds; and an interactive toolkit designed to help agencies determine whether a text messaging (SMS) program will improve their communication capacity with the public, partners and hard-to-reach populations.
The PERRCoLATE project team worked with practice partners in local health jurisdictions across Washington State to closely observe the implementation of a selected tool or training in each agency. Over a 7-month implementation period, the team gathered evidence and insight about the everyday realities that need to be taken into account when emergency preparedness activities are designed and put into practice, such as the crucial role of leadership, problems of staff turnover, and the organizational differences between large and small agencies. This past June, the PERRCoLATE project held a national symposium to share these experiences and insights and discuss the next steps for further research.
Most public health professionals know the frustration of a well-intentioned tool or training that fails to serve its purpose because of flaws in design or implementation. With the PERRCoLATE project, the field of public health is one step closer to a set of best practices to ensure that preparedness efforts really do help public health agencies do their work better—and better protect the public's health.

More info on M2 motorway (Great Britain)
M2 motorway (Great Britain): Map
Categories: Transport in Kent > Motorways in England
The M2 is a motorway in Kent , England . It is 25.7 miles (41.4 km) long and acts as a bypass of the section of the A2 road which runs through the Medway Towns, Sittingbourne and Faversham .
The M2 starts to the west of Strood at Three Crutches, diverging southeastwards from the A2 road that heads eastwards from London. It begins at junction 1 with four lanes. It then descends towards the Medway Valley to the south of Rochester . Running parallel to High Speed 1, it crosses the River Medway on the Medway Viaduct . On the west bank, Junction 2, the A228, is a complex junction where the exit roundabouts have to be built round the raillink track and still maintain, by footbridge and tunnel, a public footpath. On the east bank is the village of Borstal.The M2 then diverges from the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, climbs up north side Nashenden Valley to Blue Bell Hill and on to the North Downs on a split-level carriageway and meets junction 3 at Walderslade, south of Chatham . Here the road narrows to three lanes, and runs northeast across Crossington Fields, Westfield Sole, Lidsing, and Bredhurst towards junction 4, where it becomes two lanes. Continuing east, passing Medway Service Station, it crosses the A249 over the Stockbury Viaduct at junction 5. It then continues along the rural North Downs, with a connection to the old A2 at Faversham . Shortly after this, it terminates at junction 7, allowing traffic to continue on either the A299 towards Thanet or the A2 towards Canterbury and Dover .
Original construction
Junction 5 of the M2
The widened section approaching the lane drop at junction 4.
The M2 was constructed in the 1960s, with the Medway bypass being constructed in 1963 and the rest in 1965. It was opened in 3 stages:
Junction 1 to 2 in 1965
It was planned to extend the road to London and Dover, making the M2 the main route between London and the channel ports, but this extension never materialised. The M2 was originally to be designated as the A2(M), but due to the Daily Telegraph reporting it as the M2, the Ministry of Transport later decided upon the M20 as the main London-Channel Ports link. . [42904]
Junction amendments
The M2 stayed much the same until the 1990s. Traffic using it decreased when the M20 was completed from London to Folkestone in 1991, and the M2 merely remains a bypass for the Medway Towns. Junction 1 was altered when the A289 Wainscott Northern bypass was built in the late 1990s.
Widening
The M2 was still busy between Junctions 1 and 4 though, and in 2000 work began on upgrading the 2-lane M2 to 4-lanes. A joint venture between Costain, Skanska and Mowlem (CSM) created the company that would undertake the project. The project required the redesign of Junction 2 and Junction 3, and a second Medway Bridge. The existing bridge was converted to a 4-lane, eastbound carriageway (including a hard shoulder). The new bridge formed the westbound carriageway. The entire stretch was lit with streetlights (the old section was not lit). The old Medway Bridge was physically narrowed by removing part of the footpath. High-pressure water cutting equipment was used to cut the concrete into manageable sections for disposal. There is only one path open to the public now.
Spoil from the North Downs Tunnel was used to from the new embankment for the London bound traffic between J2 and the Nashenden Valley.
The widening was completed in July 2003.
There is one dedicated service area under the Moto brand with a "Travelodge" hotel between junction 4 and 5. This service area is now known as "Medway Services" although it long went under the local name "Farthing Corner Services". The signs have been altered to reflect the new description.
Data from driver location signs are used to provide distance and carriageway identifier information.

The issue is that every time I run mvn site site:stage the links of the modules are broken. The only working solution I have found is to set the aggregator POM as a parent on the modules.
i.e
<parent>
    <groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
    <artifactId>aggregator</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <relativePath>../..</relativePath>
</parent>

On every module
But this is not an option as I want to have the modules as stand-alone, just want to build the report for all of them.
Is there a way to create the site without any modification on the modules? Only modifying the aggregator POM

Scatec Solar secures 100 MW solar project in Nigeria
August 20, 2016 /in Projects /by Solar Business Hub
Norwegian solar company Scatec Solar announced this week that it has signed an agreement with CDIL, a Canadian renewable energy development company focused on Africa, and Business Process Solutions Consult Limited (BPS), a Nigerian strategic consulting firm, securing the 100 MW (DC) Nova Scotia Power plant located in Jigawa State, Nigeria. This agreement was announced in connection with Scatec Solar's second quarter results.
The Nova Scotia project company, signed a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Plc (NBET) on July 21st, 2016.
Raymond Carlsen, CEO of Scatec Solar said:
"Solar power in Nigeria has significant long-term potential, and we want to take part in the development of this new market. This investment is the culmination of an extensive review during which the Nova Scotia Power project stood out thanks to its exceptional fundamentals. With the quality of its site, development standards and equity funded by Scatec Solar and its partners, the project is ideally positioned to progress rapidly to financial close."
Arif Mohiuddin, President and CEO of Canadian Pacific Consulting Services (CPCS), the parent company of CDIL said:
"We recognized the importance of partnering with a sponsor able to bring the project to financial close and with whom we share a long-term vision. We are proud of teaming up with Scatec Solar, who has demonstrated its unique ability to deliver similar projects in Africa."
A long-term player with an installation track-record of close to 600 MW, Scatec Solar will develop, build, own and operate the solar power plant in Jigawa. The project is expected to reach financial close in 2017 and commercial operations 12 months thereafter.
Currently, Scatec Solar produces electricity from 404 MW of solar power plants worldwide and is a leading independent solar power producer in Africa with nearly half of this capacity located in the region.

The NM Political Report (http://nmpoliticalreport.com/2017/01/15/budget-tops-list-of-unfinished-business/)
Budget tops list of unfinished business
By Andrew Oxford | The Santa Fe New Mexican | January 15, 2017
New Mexico legislators start their 60-day session Tuesday with plenty of unfinished business, including closing a projected budget deficit of about $67 million.
But any hope that the passing of a rancorous election year and the ongoing budget crisis would inspire bipartisan compromise already seems to have evaporated.
Instead, Republican Gov. Susana Martinez and top lawmakers have staked out positions that almost guarantee a clash over taxes and spending. In addition, more budget cuts are likely, no matter the outcome.
Martinez proposed easing the projected deficit by requiring public employees to pay for a bigger share toward their pensions. The governor's budget chief says the move would save the state about $100 million each year and avoid layoffs and furloughs. Labor unions counter that the proposal amounts to a pay cut for tens of thousands of families.
The governor also has suggested taking $125 million from the savings accounts of public school districts. While the state Senate approved siphoning off a smaller amount during the fall special session intended to address the very budget problems lawmakers are facing yet again, members of the House of Representatives blocked the move. School districts had staunchly opposed the idea of losing their emergency accounts.
The governor said the savings amounted to a "slush fund" for school district bureaucracy and pointed out that the state has tapped the reserves before during tight times. But administrators and teachers unions say the reserves provide financial stability for public schools.
Speaking to reporters in Albuquerque one recent day, Martinez was quick to blame the deficit on legislators.
"Difficult decisions were avoided during an election year," she said.
The governor signed a $6.2 billion budget last February that cut spending by 2 percent for most state agencies, and it made even larger reductions for colleges and universities. With the decline of oil and gas prices, as well as the collapse of drilling operations around the state, driving down state revenues, the budget was the leanest since 2009.
The state's financial situation only worsened as oil prices continued to slide. Legislators returned to the Capitol at the end of September to pay off a deficit from the previous year totaling more than $200 million by making more cuts.
Even so, those reductions did not solve the financial crisis, prompting some Democrats to say tax increases also would have to be considered. But Martinez repeated her opposition to raising taxes, even if some measures have bipartisan support.
Leading legislators fired back, accusing the Republican governor of placing extra burdens on workers and students.
"We can't cut our way out of this recession," said Sen. Howie Morales, D-Silver City. He described the governor's pension proposal as "inhumane."
The Legislative Finance Committee recommended closing the budget deficit in part with a smaller raid on school district reserves, delaying funding for public works projects and diverting money from an existing cigarette tax earmarked to cover the cost of a university building that is nearly paid off.
For the budget year that begins in July, both the finance committee and governor proposed lean budgets that would cut funding for many state agencies and universities.
The price of oil is rising, buoying hopes for the state's revenues, but New Mexico's government is still expected to bring in close to $100 million less than it did this year, according to the Legislative Finance Committee.
Both budgets would increase funding for the Corrections Department and leave largely untouched the overall budgets of the Children, Youth and Families Department and the Department of Cultural Affairs.
The Legislative Finance Committee's budget would total $6.05 billion and boost funding for the state's court system as well as the Law Offices of the Public Defender. Both arms of government had requested bigger increases in funding. The state public defender even declined to take new clients in Hobbs because defense attorneys were already overloaded with cases. The governor's budget, totaling about $6.09 billion, would leave funding for the agency flat.
But the committee's budget would cut funding for education by about $27.4 million, or eight-tenths of a percent. Meanwhile, the governor touted her budget because it would not siphon money from the stream of funding the state provides to school districts. And the committee's budget relies on lawmakers approving a tax on health care services as well as finding an additional $123 million in new taxes or additional cuts.
A spokesman for the governor blasted the committee's proposed budget.
"The governor believes it's up to state government to tighten its own belt — not our hardworking families," Mike Lonergan said in an email. "Her plan doesn't raise taxes and it protects classroom spending, economic development efforts and public safety."
The criticism from Martinez's camp casts doubt on the prospects for bipartisan agreement on tax reform. Legislators from both parties have voiced support in recent months for at least a few new revenue measures. One idea is collecting gross receipts tax from online retailers such as Amazon. Republicans have argued the move would support hometown businesses competing with major corporations. But Martinez said she would not sign the bill if it's approved, signaling that more cutbacks are likely.

Latest projections for state budget: $1.1 billion in 'new money'
Analysts told lawmakers projections show New Mexico will have $1.1 billion in "new money" to spend compared to last year. But they also urged caution on how to spend that money, given the state's reliance on volatile oil and gas revenues and the need to replace the money legislators used money from various state programs in recent years.

Sleep in the Park hits £500,000 target in less than a month
Stephen Mcilkenny
Published: 10:43 Updated: 10:48 Friday 22 September 2017
Over 2,000 people have signed up to sleep rough in Edinburgh this December as part of Sleep in the Park, raising £500,000 In just three weeks since launching the event on August 30.
The world's largest ever sleep out will take place on Saturday December 9, and aims to raise £4m and catalyse a movement to eradicate homelessness in Scotland within a five-year period.
Sleep in the Park aims to eradicated homelessness.
Josh Littlejohn MBE, Social Bite co-founder, said: "I am blown away by the kindness of Scotland. It's been an incredible response to see over 2,000 sign up to take part in Sleep in the Park in just three weeks, raising £500,000 in the process. We raised half a million pounds last year at our CEO Sleep Out, and to match this in such a short space of time is testament to the compassion of the people getting behind the event.

"We have seen 2,000 people from all walks of life join our movement to end homelessness in Scotland for good. I'd like to thank those who are already taking part in Sleep in the Park, but would urge others to do the same and join us. Our target amount of £4 million will be invested into housing solutions, addiction support and employment programmes to support a large number of people out of homelessness and back into society where they belong."
The event will take place in Edinburgh's West Princess Street Gardens and will feature a spectacular live concert with stripped back, acoustic performances from Liam Gallagher, Deacon Blue, Amy Macdonald and Frightened Rabbit.
Comedian Rob Brydon will be hosting the event, John Cleese will be performing a special bedtime story and attendees will also hear from Sir Bob Geldof on his support for the cause. Sir Bob will also be joining participants and sleeping out with a host of other celebrities, sports personalities and figures from across Scotland's political parties.
Members of the public can join Sleep in the Park by committing to fundraising at least £100. Businesses can sponsor the event by signing up a team of five with a minimum fundraising commitment of £3,000.

What I learned at the Extinction Rebellion protest – John McLellan


After I bought a new TSL2561 digital light sensor from Adafruit, I found that the very cool and small device cannot be accessed directly from linux (rasbian doesn't have it's kernel module compiled). Since I didn't want to cross recompile my whole raspberry pi kernel just to have the tsl2563.ko driver enabled, and since it seems that raspbian does not relase genuine kernel headers to just compile custom kernel modules, I decided to write a user space simple library driver in C.
I found out that Adafruit relases proof of concept libraries written in C++ and python to access its hardware devices, the problem is that the c++ version is ready for arduino but it was not so directly usable for my raspberry pi. It also makes use of an adafruit unified sensor library and other external stuff. Since I am too lazy I decided yesterday to write a new simple library in plain C without external dependencies, just ready for my raspberry pi.
As you can see it's very easy at this point to get the light measures in C. Just include TSL2561.c and TSL2561.h inside your project and use the public APIs to setup and sense the IC.
I decided to release the code with the liberal apache v2 license, so feel free to include it into your commercial projects if you like.
It's useful for me, and I hope that it can be useful to you too. Obviously it comes with absolutely no warranty.

The 30th Division (30. Division) was a unit of the Prussian/German Army. It was formed on April 1, 1887, as the 33rd Division and became the 30th Division on April 1, 1890, and was headquartered in Straßburg (now Strasbourg, France).  The division was subordinated in peacetime to the XV Army Corps (XV. Armeekorps). The division was disbanded in 1919 during the demobilization of the German Army after World War I.  The division was recruited primarily in the Rhineland and Westphalia, with the 105th Infantry Regiment recruited in the Kingdom of Saxony.

Combat chronicle

The division served in World War I on the Western Front. It saw action in the Battle of the Frontiers and in the Race for the Sea.  It fought in the two major battles of 1916, the Battle of Verdun and the Battle of the Somme.  In 1917, it fought in the Second Battle of the Aisne and the tank battle of Cambrai.  In 1918, it fought in the Battle of Champagne-Marne and the Second Battle of Cambrai.  Until the last campaigns of the war, the division was regarded as a first class division.

Pre–World War I organization

The organization of the 30th Division in 1914, shortly before the outbreak of World War I, was as follows:

60. Infanterie-Brigade
2. Oberrheinisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 99
4. Unter-Elsässisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 143
85. Infanterie-Brigade
Kgl. Sächs. 6. Infanterie-Regiment König Wilhelm II. von Württemberg Nr. 105
4. Lothringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 136
30. Kavallerie-Brigade
3. Schleschisches Dragoner-Regiment Nr. 15
2. Rheinisches Husaren-Regiment Nr. 9
30. Feldartillerie-Brigade
2. Ober-Elsässisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 51
Straßburger Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 84

Order of battle on mobilization

On mobilization in August 1914 at the beginning of World War I, most divisional cavalry, including brigade headquarters, was withdrawn to form cavalry divisions or split up among divisions as reconnaissance units.  Divisions received engineer companies and other support units from their higher headquarters.  The 30th Division was redesignated the 30th Infantry Division. Its initial wartime organization was as follows:

60. Infanterie-Brigade
2. Oberrheinisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 99
4. Unter-Elsässisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 143
85. Infanterie-Brigade
Kgl. Sächs. 6. Infanterie-Regiment König Wilhelm II. von Württemberg Nr. 105
4. Lothringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 136
Jäger-Regiment zu Pferde Nr. 3
30. Feldartillerie-Brigade
2. Ober-Elsässisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 51
Straßburger Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 84
Reserve-Ulanen-Regiment Nr. 601
1.Kompanie/1. Elsässisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 15

Late World War I organization

Divisions underwent many changes during the war, with regiments moving from division to division, and some being destroyed and rebuilt.  During the war, most divisions became triangular - one infantry brigade with three infantry regiments rather than two infantry brigades of two regiments (a "square division"). An artillery commander replaced the artillery brigade headquarters, the cavalry was further reduced, the engineer contingent was increased, and a divisional signals command was created. The 30th Infantry Division's order of battle on April 1, 1918, was as follows:

60. Infanterie-Brigade
2. Oberrheinisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 99
Kgl. Sächs. 6. Infanterie-Regiment König Wilhelm II. von Württemberg Nr. 105
4. Unter-Elsässisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 143
2.Eskadron/Husaren-Regiment Kaiser Nikolaus II von Rußland (1. Westfälisches) Nr. 8
Artillerie-Kommandeur 30
Reserve-Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 84
Kgl. Bayerisches 10. Fußartillerie-Bataillon
Stab 1. Elsässisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 15
1.Kompanie/Elsässisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 15
5.Kompanie/Elsässisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 15
Minenwerfer-Kompanie Nr. 29

Les Epiplocylididae sont une famille de chromistes de l'embranchement des Ciliophora, de la classe des Oligotrichea et de l'ordre des Choreotrichida.

Étymologie
Le nom de la famille vient du genre type Epiplocylis, dont l'origine n'a pas été explicitée par l'auteur. Ce nom pourrait dériver du grec ἐπιπλέω / epipléo, « flotter ; naviguer », et κοῖλος /  koílos, creux.

C'est sans doute la complexité du nom qui a pu entrainer la création par divers auteurs de nombreuses variantes orthographiques erronées : Epiplacylis, Epiplosylis, Epiplocysis, Epyplocylis et Epipocylis.

Description
Charles Atwood Kofoid et  décrivent ainsi le genre Epiplocylis :

Distribution
Le genre  Epiplocylis est largement réparti dans beaucoup de mers et océans du globe : mer Méditerranée, Mer Rouge, Océan Atlantique, Grande Barrière de corail, Mer du Japon, Océan Pacifique.

Liste des genres

Growing up, I was always so self-conscious of my cheek dimples. Adults would always squeeze my cheeks, and I just wanted them to disappear. Now, dimples are somewhat of a beauty trend, and people are even getting surgeries and piercings in order to get them. Have you ever wondered how and why people have cheek and chin dimples? There's actually a scientific reason behind them, and it's pretty interesting!
According to Bustle, chin dimples are caused by an underlying cleft in the bone of the chin. Scientists believe that this cleft is the result of a flaw in fetal development, where the left and right sides of the chin didn't fuse together properly in the womb. However, when it comes to cheek dimples, the science behind them is a little more complicated.
Scientists generally agree that cheek dimples are genetic, and believe there are two theories about why people get them. One theory is that dimples are the product of shorter muscles around the mouth. The other theory is that it's a defect in the facial muscle in the side of your face, and the dimples are caused by a divide in the muscle, which is normally in one piece. This double muscle causes small dents to form whenever you smile.
So, why are people so intrigued with dimples? Dimples tend to equate to sexual attractiveness. They mimic youthfulness and innocence, which parters find to be desirable traits. Although people are currently going to great lengths in order to get dimples, if you're not born with them, you'll just have to deal with it. Any piercing or other medical procedure claiming to give you dimples is definitely not safe, and will probably just damage your face.


Moisture which is recovered from humidity when warm air is cooled.
CONDENSER FAN - A electro-mechanical device used to force air through a condenser to aid in the transfer of heat.
A style of refrigeration appliance where a portion of the evaporator, usually the chill-plate, defrosts whenever the thermostat switches off. In a refrigerator/freezer, the appliance usually has a separate outer door for each compartment.
A series of events which have a tendency to repeat in the same order.
DEFROST TERMINATION THERMOSTAT - A bimetal switch used to open the electric circuit to the defrost heater once a set temperature is reached. The defrost cycle will continue until the timer advances into the cooling cycle, however the heater will no longer be energized. This thermostat will reset to a closed position once a set colder temperature is again reached. May also be called a DEFROST LIMIT SWITCH.
DEFROST TIMER - An electro-mechanical clock device that periodically switches from cooling to defrost to remove the buildup of frost from the evaporator. A possible compressor run time of 6 - 12 hrs. with defrost duration time of 20 - 30 minutes is common.
An appliance designed to extract moisture from the ambient air by means of a refrigeration system. Warm moist air is drawn by a fan across the cold evaporator which causes the water vapor to condense onto the coil and drop into a container. The cooled air is then passed over the condenser where it is warmed before being passed back into the surrounding area.
A resilient or flexible material used between mating surfaces to provide a leak-proof seal. May also be called a DOOR GASKET.
A pan-shaped panel used to collect condensate from the evaporator during a defrost cycle. It is usually located above a condenser coil or atop the compressor. May also be called CONDENSATE PAN.

Hilarious Punishment For 'Sneaking In' To The Rochester Fairgrounds?
A-Train
A-Train Published: September 17, 2021
Train Images
Editor's note: This article was written by a Townsquare Media Northern New England radio personality and may contain the individual's views, opinions or personal experiences.
With The Granite State Fair open the next two weeks at the Rochester fairgrounds, I remember how back in the day there was a hilarious punishment for any kid that dared 'sneaking in'.
Horse Manure
As any lifelong resident of The Lilac City will tell you, there used to be a couple sections of the chain-link fence that paralleled Brock Street that afforded just enough room to scoot under when nobody was looking.
Unfortunately, for any kid that hoped to pull this feat off, this area was located in close proximity to the stables that housed the racehorses. After a couple days, stable workers would shovel the manure directly in the illegal entry trenches under the fence.
When I was a kid, my cousins and I used to sneak in utilizing a "Trojan Horse" method, which, at the time, seemed brilliant, but in retrospect was almost just as stupid.
My parents would always put in a large amount of vegetables and flower arrangements in the agricultural barns every year, in hopes of winning blue ribbons, some cash and perpetual glory.
They'd load up our largest farm truck with all the gourds and flowers and several bales of hay, and that's where we would hide.
We were never caught.
Of course, there was a good reason for that.
The evening when they accepted the agricultural displays was THE DAY BEFORE the fair officially opened.
For whatever reason, I didn't make the connection that this wasn't really the perfect crime until I was much older.
Sneaking into that hallowed ground, and to do it manure free?
Ah! The sweet smell of success!

"I think everyone is very, very, very encouraged with this year's rainfall. The rivers are full and running, we've opened our bypasses," says Peter Bostrom, section chief with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). Major reservoirs throughout the state are close to or above the average historical storage levels.
But due to recent trouble with two spillways at the Oroville Dam north of Sacramento, more than 200,000 residents had to evacuate their homes. There was concern over how the system would hold up through the next series of storms, which moved through after Valentine's Day.
Snowpack in the Northern Sierra is at 151% of normal average for the same period, the Central Sierra is at 181%, and the Southern Sierra is at 206%. "From snowpack we can infer a very good year of surface water supply, says Daniele Zaccaria, agricultural water management specialist with the University of California, Davis. In normal years, the Sierra Nevada snow melts slowly in spring and early summer, supplying reservoirs and the whole surface water system in the northern half of the state. Water is then moved to the southern part of the state through federal and state water projects.
Officials are trying to track potential snowmelt problems. At some reservoirs where the current levels are below average, they're keeping space available for flood prevention and mitigation — a common practice in reservoir management.
The excessive rain has caused a measure of uneasiness as well. "We're getting close to where we may be concerned about too much water," admits Bostrom.
In contrast, while the northern half of the state is looking good, its central and southern portions — harder hit by the drought — are still struggling. Their water supply comes solely from rainfall. At presstime on the Central Coast, one key reservoir was 80% full — at the height of the drought it had fallen to 30%; another has reached 28% of capacity, up from a low of 6%.
There should be much less groundwater pumping over the summer which will allow levels to rebound somewhat, says Bostrom. "But it will take a long time to come back from as deep as we've pumped some of these aquifers," he adds.
Indeed, recent high precipitation will help replenish some water in aquifers, but most in the Central Valley are actually in a state of chronic overdrafting, a practice that's putting into question the economic viability and environmental sustainability of irrigated agriculture in California, says Zaccaria.
No matter the weather, two other huge issues in the state remain: a troubled infrastructure and chronic disputes over who gets the resource.
Congress, which has intervened in the past on California's water problems, stepped in again in late 2016. It passed a wide-ranging bill that authorized water projects across the country, including more than $500 million to provide relief to the state.
The Water Resources Development Act of 2016 will give water managers much needed operational flexibility to expedite water transfers, update the science being used to make valuable water flow decisions and authorize much needed funding to expand water storage throughout California, explains George Radanovich, president of the California Fresh Fruit Association.
In late 2016, Congress also passed the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (WIIN). Among its provisions, the WIIN Act allows water agencies to capture more water during winter storms and requires them to maximize supplies consistent with law. This winter will be a good test of how agencies adhere to that law, said Paul Wenger, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation.
The WIIN Act also funds California water storage and desalination projects, complementing the investments the state's voters made when they passed the Proposition 1 water bond in 2014.
The California Water Commission will decide later this year on water projects to be funded through the bond.
"You would think that a snowpack in the range of 179% of average would assure plentiful water supplies, but that link was severed long ago," said WGA's Nassif.
California's water system is astonishingly complex. Decisions on use can be made on the federal, state or local level — though DWR's Bostrom says much of the water infrastructure is controlled locally, through more than 200 irrigation districts.
The condition of those structures varies widely. Some are "great," he notes, some are older. Stakeholders are tapping into a water delivery system made up of 100 year old reservoirs, canals and leveled farm ground all paid for by water users decades ago.
Uncertainty remains as to what 2017 — and the years ahead — might hold for precipitation in California. There's no guarantee the storm systems experienced through the first half of the state's rainy season will continue. Climatologists have called the weather patterns unpredictable at best. One water expert with Metropolitan Water District of Southern California says 2017 could stand as a single wet year followed by more dry years, as was the case in 2011.


Over your career, you develop expertise. But is your expertise recognized? You won't gain the recognition you deserve until you demonstrate what you know in a compelling way. One of the best vehicles is an impressive presentation where you communicate your knowledge.
After years of hard work, your industry knowledge is both deep, and wide. Start by choosing a narrow slice within your broad topic. By going deep and avoiding generalities, you'll be forced to be specific and give your audience value.
If you've got an intriguing topic, you'll have an advantage. An audience that is intrigued by your topic is a receptive one.
As Dr. Stephen Covey advises in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, "start with the end in mind." Identify three main points you want your audience to know about and remember.
Sketch these out on paper. You may like to use a graphic organizer such as a MindMap. Then add three or more interesting or important aspects of each of your three main points. Is there a story you can tell to illustrate your point? Add these to bring your points to life.
Avoid trying to communicate too much information. If your topic is technical, only the most enthusiastic will be able to sustain their attention for more than a few minutes. So, be succinct and only include essential detail.
Translate your sketch into a written presentation. Structure it into your three main points. Add a beginning and a conclusion.
Now it all depends on your delivery.
To really stand out, you'll need more than just your great presentation content: you'll have to deliver it with aplomb.
The most important part of being comfortable on stage is to be prepared. There really is no substitute for knowing your material inside and out. So practice your presentation.
Start by reading it aloud. Are parts too wordy? One of the most common mistakes rookie speakers make is to use over-long sentences. These can create mechanical problems that may make you think you are anxious. Did you know that speaking sentences that are too long can leave you breathless – literally? Shorten them and you'll eliminate the risk of needless strain. You will also sound more conversational.
Knowing your audience is helpful. It enables you to use the language they will understand, and perhaps even make a joke or two.
If I'm doing an important presentation, I like to record it and listen to it a number of times. I will play it back while I am driving, and speak along to the recording. I make a fresh recording as I get better. Recording helps me, for example, gain a better handle on where to put the emphasis in each sentence.
Get up on stage, and give them a big smile. It will relax you! Video your speech or presentation, if possible, so you can review it later. You'll be able to objectively assess your presentation on screen in a way you're simply not able to in the moment. Like any expert do a review. You will see and hear what you did well and you can take note of what you want to improve. Every presentation you do will get better and you'll effectively showcase your hard-won expertise.

Alex Post will officiate. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service. Interment will be at Rose Hill Memorial Gardens Cemetery immediately following the service.
Robert (Bob) passed away Friday, Oct. 21, 2016, at Oak Park Place in Albert Lea, where he had resided for the past two and a half years.
Robert Hartman
Bob was born Sept. 4,1925, to Edmund and Elizabeth (Meier) Hartman in Marshalltown, Iowa. He graduated from Marshalltown High School and later Marshalltown Community College. When he was 18-years-old, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, where he served in the South Pacific during World War II. When he returned from the service, he enrolled at Marshalltown Community College, where he met his future wife. On March 31,1951, he was united in marriage to Pauline Handorf at Trinity Lutheran Church in Dillion, Iowa. Bob and Pauline had two children. In his early years, he worked as a bartender at the Tremont Bar and Billiards in Marshalltown, and eventually owned and operated the Elbo Room in Marshalltown for approximately 40 years.
Bob was an active member of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Marshalltown, where he served as an elder for a number of years. He was a man of deep faith rarely missing a Sunday service even when out of town. He was a true gentleman, demonstrating by example his respect for his country, God and all people.
Bob was proud of his military experience and was a member of the American Legion. He faithfully flew the flag outside of his home throughout the years. Bob was an avid coin collector. Bob also loved to sing. He accompanied his wife, Pauline, on many YWCA bus trips and often led the group in song. During his stay at Oak Park Place in Albert Lea others would often hear him singing to his fellow residents.
Bob loved his wife, family and friends deeply. He was always present to share a laugh, play a game and attend a grandchild's concert or sporting event. He loved the Cubs and took each of his grandchildren many times to see Cub's games in Chicago.
Bob is survived by his daughter, Paulla Hartman, Marshalltown; his son, Robert (Janet) Hartman of Albert Lea; four grandchildren, Robert (Sarah) Hartman of Appleton, Wisconsin, Amie (Andrew) Wold of Golden Valley, Ryan (Becky) Hartman of Bismarck, North Dakota, and Theodore Hartman of Mankato; and two great-grandsons, Owen Hartman of Appleton and Henry Wold of Golden Valley. He is also survived by sisters-in-law Myrna Burmester of Marshalltown, Eleanor Handorf of Marshalltown and Carol (Bruce) Thatcher of New Braunfels, Texas, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Bob was preceded in death by his wife, Pauline Hartman; his father, Edmund; mother, Elizabeth Hartman; father and mother in-law Raymond and Clara Handorf; brother, George Hartman; brothers-in-law Dallas Burmester and Wilmer Handorf; and nephew, Jeff Mason.
Memorials are preferred to Redeemer Lutheran Church in Marshalltown.

Mixing art and animals can have questionable results. (Think "Dogs Playing Poker" or anything by Damien Hirst.) But sometimes the two come together to create something . . . magical?
Take, for instance, artist Julian Wolkenstein's horsey supermodels (including the beauty shown above). Or the "extreme sheep LED art" in the video below.
Urban Beasts are recycled skins of thrown out stuffed animals taxidermied to create feral relatives. Often displayed in community gardens, abandoned lots and in trees, an Anthology of their stories was developed to illustrate Humans' role as stewards of their environments.
The sheepis one... WAS AMAZING!!! OoO I never knew that was possible!!!
thats really cool how they turn old stuffed animals into other animals.
and the sheeeps are so so so cute!!!
to herd sheeps and make it into art is my dream job.
How do those people have the patience to move those sheep like that????
I think the Mona Lisa was photoshopped though, but I think everything else was legit.
Oh, LEDS are so much fun. I blew one, and it was...electrifying.
It's like My Little Pony.. but worse.
hey are there any boys online???? or is this just girls?????
wow, yasmin i was just reading your profile and we have a lot in common. i also like slumdog millionaire ( own it) i love sense and sensibility, haven't seen the movie, i like x men and a lot of other there stuff like you. my favorite author is Kristen Miller, but my favorite classic author is Jane Austen! i own Persuasion, and Sense and Sensibility. hey have you seen Pride and Prejudice, the one from 2006 with Keira Knightley in it!!! best movie from that year!!! i can't wait to see X-men Origins!!!!
Taxidermy has always greatly distubed me . . . that's why I avoid the entire downstairs of my house. Shudder.
THE SHEEP ONE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
