Fulham v Chelsea Predictions, Betting Tips and Previews
Craven Cottage - Premier League
Maurizio Sarri may have a hint of a spring in his step as he takes his Chelsea team to Craven Cottage to face Fulham on Sunday. The opposite is true for Sarri's opposing manager and compatriot, Claudio Ranieri, who lost his job on Thursday.
Chelsea beat Fulham 2-0 at Stamford Bridge earlier this season, courtesy of an early goal from Pedro and a late Ruben Loftus-Cheek strike. The Blues are looking for their fifth successive victory over the Cottagers, although that run does stretch back to 2013.
Alfie Mawson and Marcus Bettinelli are the only two players out for the hosts. Both are recovering from knee surgery, with ex-Chelsea player Scott Parker, now in charge at the Cottage, enjoying a fully-fit squad apart from that. Another former Blue, Andre Schurrle is set to feature against his old club.
Chelsea's injury list only contains some familiar names and players nowhere near the first team. Gary Cahill is still sidelined with a back problem, while Danny Drinkwater has an Achilles injury. The big question is whether Sarri reinstates Kepa Arrizabalaga after last weekend's Carabao Cup indiscretion.
Fulham v Chelsea Preview and Predictions
The wheels were threatening to come completely off for Chelsea manager Sarri, but a couple of nuts and bolts held them on after their penalty shootout defeat to Manchester City in the League Cup final, and the insubordination of goalkeeper Arrizabalaga. What a difference a win makes though, and the Blues head to Craven Cottage with their engines roaring after their victory over another London rival in midweek.
Fulham meanwhile slipped to their fourth successive defeat as they lost away at Southampton on Wednesday. Now 10 points from safety, that's surely curtains for their brief return to the Premier League. Parker, signed by Jose Mourinho in the Portuguese's first spell at Chelsea, has the responsibility to beat the drop now.
Ranieri failed to sort out Fulham's disastrous defence, which has now conceded 63 goals in 28 games. With that in mind, even at 6/1 the home team look a bet worth avoiding. Chelsea are 6/11 to make it back-to-back wins, as they look to maintain their top-four challenge.
The Blues are three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal with a game in hand, although they have an in-form Manchester United to deal with too. At 18/5, a draw would certainly be seen as two points dropped for the away team, considering Fulham's awful form that's seen them lose eight of their last nine matches.
Chelsea to win and over 2.5 goals at 6/5
Fulham have conceded at least two goals in each of their last eight Premier League games, so Chelsea should get their fair share of chances on Sunday afternoon.
Chelsea/Chelsea half-time/full-time at 11/8
Fulham have been losing at both half-time and full-time in six of their last eight league matches, while the Blues are on a high after beating Spurs in midweek.

7 Must See Staten Island Sites This Fall
Staten Island is known as both the "borough of parks" and "the forgotten borough," but Holly's Staten Island Buzz Realty believes it should also be recognized as one of the most family-friendly New York City destinations. With a rich cultural history dating back to 1661 and the Revolutionary War, families will undoubtedly find many of our borough's landmarks both educational and entertaining. Here are 7 must-see Staten Island sites this fall.
1) Staten Island Children's Museum: 1000 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10301
Staten Island Children's Museum is located in the historical district, Sung Harbor. Although it isn't a recognized landmark, Snug Harbor's very own children's museum has entertained NYC kids since 1974 when it was founded by a group of parents. The museum opened in 1976 in a small rented storefront with one exhibit and program. A series of "hands-on, minds-on" exhibitions followed about history, the natural science, and fine arts. By 1980, space limitations drove the museum to seek a larger venue. The City of New York invited the Children's Museum to join the Cultural Institutions Group, which included plans for the Museum to relocate to the ground so the newly acquired 83-acre Snug Harbor. In 1986, the museum opened the doors to its new home. In 2003, the facility expanded to 40,000 square feet with the addition of the historic barn and the bi-level glass passageway. In 2013, the Museum completed another capital project, with the addition of a state-of-the-art tented picnic and performance pavilion on the East Meadow, and a vertical axis wind turbine and wind scoop addition to its roof. The mission of the Staten Island Children's Museum is to nurture the creativity and curiosity natural to all children, to recognize and celebrate different learning styles, and to demonstrate vividly that learning can be exciting and fun.
2) Staten Island Zoo: 614 Broadway, Staten Island, NY 10310
The biggest "little" zoo in America, the Staten Island Zoo showcases more than 1,100 animals nestled in a beautiful eight-acre park. The Zoo's collection has nearly doubled over the last two years and features over 350 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates from six of the world's seven continents. Referred to as Barrett Park until the 1960s, the Staten Island Zoo has a long and interesting history. Since 1936, the family-friendly zoo has strived to educate college students, educators and the public about wildlife. Admission is $10 for adults and $6 for children. Children under 2 are free.
3) Richmond County Bank Ballpark: 75 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10301
The Richmond County Bank Ballpark at St. George (RCB Ballpark) is located on the north-eastern tip of Staten Island in historic St. George. The ballpark is the home of the Staten Island Yankees, the NY-Penn League affiliate of the New York Yankees, and of Wagner College Seahawks Baseball. RCB Ballpark has 18 regular-sized luxury suites along with a 60-person Skyline Suite with one of the best views of the harbor. A small kids' area is located down the left-field line with games. A replica of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is located on top of the main scoreboard.
4) Alice Austen House: 2 Hylan Blvd, Staten Island, NY 10305
Home to an ambitious Victorian female photographer, the Alice Austen House was built in 1690 as a one-room Dutch farmhouse. Referred to as "Clear Comfort" it was purchased in 1844 by John Haggerty Austen, Alice Austen's grandfather. Alice Austen herself moved there as a young girl in the late 1860s with her mother, Alice Cornell Austen, after the two were abandoned by Alice's father. In 1917, Gertrude Tate moved in, and the two lived together until financial problems forced them to move in 1945. When they left, the house fell into disrepair until a group of concerned citizens saved it from demolition in the 1960s. The house successfully gained status as a historic landmark and was restored in the mid-1980s. The home now functions as a museum comprised of exhibitions that showcase Austen's prized photographs. For a small donation, your family can see the world through the lens of one of Staten Island's most talented female photographers.
5) Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden: 1000 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10301
Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden is the result of more than four decades of restoration and development to convert a 19th-century charitable rest home for sailors to a regional arts center, botanical gardens, and public park. It is a place where history, architecture, gardens, agriculture, visual and performing arts, and education come together to provide a dynamic experience for all ages. Snug Harbor consists of 28 buildings, fourteen distinctive botanical gardens, a two-acre urban farm, wetlands, and park land. Visitors of Snug Harbor can take a stroll through the magnificent Chinese Scholar's Garden or take in a show at its historical Music Hall.

Wall calls on Calgary energy companies to relocate to Sask.
Premier is offering relocation subsidies, tax breaks and royalties.
by CP Staff
brad wall
CALGARY — Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall is taking a turf war with Alberta to its economic heart, inviting energy companies based in Calgary to move their headquarters to his province.
In a letter to Whitecap Resources, Wall offers to subsidize relocation costs, trim taxes and royalties and help find space in unused government buildings if the oil and gas firm moves to Saskatchewan.
Wall cites reductions to corporate and personal income taxes promised in his recent provincial budget as further incentives, adding that his government has no intention of implementing a carbon tax like the one Alberta did this year.
"Given these major tax changes and your production presence in our province, I would therefore like to formally ask you to consider a relocation of your head office from Calgary to Saskatchewan," reads the letter.
A spokesman for the premier confirmed the letter's authenticity.
The letter emerges in the wake of public bickering between Notley and Wall over each other's provincial budgets. Neither was immediately available for comment.
The letter, provided to The Canadian Press, says it may make sense for Whitecap Resources and other Calgary companies with oil and gas production in Saskatchewan to make a "co-operative joint move" to benefit from additional cost savings.
Whitecap Resources CEO Grant Fagerheim said he's taking Wall's offer seriously but would only move if it would benefit his company's shareholders. He conceded such a decision would come as a "shock" to his Calgary head office staff of 105.
"It's a very pleasant offer from Premier Brad Wall but we have to look at that in much more detail," Fagerheim said.
"When we're working for shareholders, we have to consider all of our costs and everything that goes alongside that, (including) logistics."
Whitecap Resources produces about 50% of its oil and gas in Alberta, 40% in Saskatchewan and the rest in BC, said Fagerheim. Other Calgary companies with oil and gas production in Saskatchewan include Crescent Point Energy, Husky Energy, Raging River Exploration and Surge Energy.
Notley's NDP government tabled a budget this month that relies on economic growth to balance the books in six years. Wall's budget boosts the provincial sales tax and cuts spending with the aim of returning to surplus in three years.
When Notley was asked whether there is anything in the budget tabled by Wall's right-leaning government that she would never do, she replied: "Almost everything."
On the weekend, Wall took to Twitter to say he wasn't about to take budgeting advice from Notley and the Alberta NDP.
Wall has pitched his province over Alberta to energy companies in the past. Shortly after Notley was elected in 2015 promising a royalty review, Wall used a speech in Weyburn, Sask., to highlight his province as a place of "royalty stability."

Current: Bats on the Brink
Bats on the Brink
USDA Forest Service researchers are monitoring the effects of white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease from Eurasia that has decimated cave-hibernating bats across the U.S. since its arrival in 2006. "The fungus that causes white-nose syndrome grows on bats in the wintertime. It causes them to wake up during their hibernation and burn their fat reserves," says Phillip Jordan, wildlife biologist. Jordan is among the experts featured in this video. SRS Forestry technician Virginia McDaniel created and produced this video.

Global reactions to the death of former Pope Benedict
31 December 2022, 5:54 am ·4-min read
(.)
(Reuters) - Following are reactions to the death of former Pope Benedict, who was the first pontiff in 600 years to resign from the post rather than rule for life:
GERMAN CHANCELLOR OLAF SCHOLZ ON TWITTER:
"As a "German" #Pope, #BenedictXVI was a special church leader for many, not only in this country. The world is losing a formative figure of the Catholic Church, a forthright personality and a clever theologian. My thoughts are with Pope Francis."
MARKUS SOEDER, PREMIER OF BENEDICT'S HOME STATE OF BAVARIA:
"We mourn the death of our Bavarian Pope.... With him, society loses a convincing representative of the Catholic Church as well as one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century. In turbulent and challenging times, he was the religious leader of the Catholic faithful. Many people in his homeland will remember him with gratitude not only as Pope Benedict XVI, but also as a humble pastor ... His visit of several days to Bavaria as the new Pope, expressing his love for the country and its people, is unforgettable. He always carried his homeland in his heart."
ITALIAN PRIME MINISTER GIORGIA MELONI:
"Benedict XVI was a giant of faith and reason. A man in love with the Lord who put his life at the service of the Universal Church and has spoken, and will continue to speak, to the hearts and minds of people with the spiritual, cultural and intellectual depth of his Magisterium. A Christian, a pastor, a theologian: a great man whom history will not forget."
U.N. SECRETARY GENERAL ANTONIO GUTERRES:
"Principled in his faith, tireless in his pursuit of peace, and determined in his defence of human rights, he was a spiritual guide to millions across the world and one of the leading academic theologians of our time...His powerful calls for solidarity with marginalized people everywhere and his urgent appeals to close the widening gap between rich and poor are more relevant than ever."
FRENCH PRESIDENT EMMANUEL MACRON
"My thoughts go out to Catholics in France and around the world, bereaved by the departure of His Holiness Benedict XVI, who worked with all his soul and intelligence for a more fraternal world."
POLISH PRESIDENT ANDRZEJ DUDA:
"Pope Benedict XVI has gone to our Father's House. Today the world has lost one of the greatest theologians of the 20th and 21st centuries, a close collaborator of St. John Paul II. His life, works and pastoral ministry are a signpost among many winding and deceptive roads of modern times. RIP"
OUTGOING BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT JAIR BOLSONARO:
"Although his pontificate was short, he leaves an immense legacy for the Catholic Church, for all Christians and for humanity ... In defense of the truth of the Gospel, he fearlessly criticized the errors of the so-called 'liberation theology,' which intends to mix up Christianity with erroneous concepts of Marxism."
LEO VARADKAR, IRISH PRIME MINISTER:
"Leading the Catholic Church for almost a decade, the son of a police officer & a cook, the first German elected as Pope in one thousand years, he was ultimately a 'humble worker in vineyard of the Lord'.
CARDINAL VINCENT NICHOLS, ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP OF WESTMINSTER:
"He will be remembered as one of the great theologians of the 20th century. I remember with particular affection the remarkable Papal Visit to these lands in 2010."
PATRIARCH KIRILL, HEAD OF THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH
"The absolute authority of Benedict XVI as an outstanding theologian allowed him to make a significant contribution to the development of inter-Christian cooperation ... and to the protection of traditional moral values.
"During the papacy of Benedict XVI, the relationship between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church developed significantly in the spirit of fraternal cooperation and the desire to interact on how to overcome the sometimes painful legacy of the past."
JUSTIN WELBY, ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY AND LEADER OF THE ANGLICAN COMMUNION:
"Pope Benedict was one of the greatest theologians of his age – committed to the faith of the Church and stalwart in its defence. In all things, not least in his writing and his preaching, he looked to Jesus Christ, the image of the invisible God. It was abundantly clear that Christ was the root of his thought and the basis of his prayer."
BRITAIN'S KING CHARLES
"I .. recall his constant efforts to promote peace and goodwill to all people, and to strengthen the relationship between the global Anglican Communion and the Roman Catholic Church."
CARDINAL ODILO SCHERER, ARCHBISHOP OF SAO PAULO:
"Benedict XVI was a simple, humble, sensitive and even shy man, very attentive and refined in his dealings with people. He was an intellectual and theologian of great depth, and his writings and homilies will certainly be a point of reference for the Church in the future."

One of the most efficient ways of creating a customer base and connecting with them is by creating an e-mailing list. However, it is getting tougher and tougher to do this with the new mail filters, SPAM laws and the general consensus that signing up for an e-mailing list on a website will guarantee an immediate deluge of unwanted emails.
First, let's start with how to build your list.
This website will help you with creating an awesome policy that will enable your business to function efficiently, and to build sound customer confidence.
When you are finished creating your policy, you will need to post links on your website that are easily visible to your customers. It is also a good idea to include a link to this policy on the page where you'll be collecting your customer's data.
Your second step will probably be figuring out how you are going to collect the customer's information. There are numerous 'mailing list managers' available. You can decide between remotely hosted mailing lists – which will handle all of the finer details for you, including setting-up, saving information and distribution of the actual emails. Prior to selecting a company to manage your list - you will want to ensure that they don't sell customer data and that they have a respectable reputation.
Your second option is to install software on your website that will manage list building and management. These types of programs usually include a web-based control panel (web interface), which makes it incredibly easy to send messages to your clients and to conserve their information.
If you are planning on having a large mailing list, be sure that you and your software have the proficiency of handling it. Always try to plan ahead to avoid humiliating data loss. If you plan on managing the list manually, back-up your data often.
You will also need to check with your web-hosting service to see if they need clients to "double opt-in" to your e-mailing list. This essentially means that the client will need to reply (confirm) to an email before they are added to your mailing list. This guarantees that clients will not be incorporated to lists that they have no desire to be on. Additionally - it will help you to stand apart from those nasty spammers.
Now that all of the technical stuff is out of the way, you can get to building your mailing list -YAAAY!
You will need to ensure that clients can find your mailing list; therefore you will need to post noticeable links on your website. It helps to offer a free gift, or free information as an incentive for clients to sign up. Be creative – and think what YOU would like before YOU sign-up for anything.
Numerous websites now have 'pop-up' windows to promote sign-ups. This actually does increase your client base substantially. But keep in mind that there is nothing more irritating than an unrelenting pop-up. It is best practice to have the pop-up appear only once during a client's visit.
Now that you have got your client mailing list up and running, how do you keep them captivated and more importantly, how do you keep them coming back? A simple way to accomplish this is to offer a free e-zine (electronic magazine) to your e-mailing list. This will keep them informed on relevant issues and increase trust in your business. Folks obviously feel more confident about ordering items/products from businesses they are familiar with. You can send out your e-zine (or newsletter ) monthly, weekly or daily. Just ensure your clients know how often the e-zine will be sent out ahead of time, as they might see it as spam if you don't.
Adequate planning and efficient list management software will ensure your success in creating your own e-mailing list. Follow the abovementioned steps and you'll be sure to have a comprehensive mailing list in no-time. Good luck!

About This Exhibit
The Great Trigonometrical Survey (GTS) was a part of the larger Survey of India. Whereas the Survey of India acquired geographical information mostly through "route surveys" (like the recordings of the pundits) the GTS created more scientific maps that were created through the use of instruments. William Lambton, the prime mover of the Great Trigonometrical Survey, had a special theodolite (a surveying instrument with a rotating telescope for measuring horizontal and vertical angles) shipped to India from Britain. At one point the ship that carried this great theodolite was actually captured by the French, who graciously repacked it and sent it on.
Making maps with delicate instruments gave a greater credence to the maps produced. The emphasis on precision was almost fetishistic. There are many historians who feel that this emphasis was also a way of exerting control as well as promoting the imperialist agenda. This can be seen in the use of imagery in many of the cartouches in this exhibit. There are clear examples of Indians giving obeisance to the symbols of Britain.
It's surprising but true that cartography in the 19th century in India was actually the most advanced in the world. Other nations, such as Britain, were not mapped to the extent that India was.
Aside from the precisionist aspect of the Great Trigonometrical Survey it should be noted that there was always a strong element of control in the mapping of South Asia. As Ian Barrow states: "there was a sense among surveyors and the [East India Company]'s high bureaucracy that trigonometrical mapping would enhance the reputation of the Company as an enlightened patron because of its rigorous and scientific nature…. This rhetoric of scientific progress and improvement was a significant factor contributing to the character of colonial rule in India during the nineteenth century. The Survey not only helped the state gather information and knowledge, it also --and this was its greatest advantage over route surveys-- added legitimacy to colonial rule by making it seem that this form of science in India would not only result in India's progress but would also improve geodesy."

Abstract: We prove that if a Bessel sequence in a Hilbert space, that is indexed by a countably infinite group in an invariant manner, can be partitioned into finitely many Riesz basic sequences, then each of the sets in the partition can be chosen to be syndetic. We then apply this result to prove that if a Fourier frame for a measurable subset of a higher dimensional cube can be partitioned into Riesz basic sequences, then each subset can be chosen to be a syndetic subset of the corresponding higher dimensional integer lattice. Both of these results follow from a result about syndetic pavings of elements of the von Neumann algebra of a discrete group.

This work was carried out to analyse the microbiological parameters of the water quality of a reservoir used for the irrigation and culture of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in floating net cages. The physico-chemical parameters, counts of mesophilic total aerobic bacteria, total and thermotolerant coliforms and fecal streptococci, and the presence of Escherichia coli in samples of water collected in three sites of the reservoir (pre-culture site, culture site, post-culture site) were analysed. The levels of ammonia (0.047-0.059 mg/L), nitrite (0.001-0.021 mg/L) and total phosphorus (0.050-0.355 mg/L) in the water did not show significant differences (p > 0.05) between sampling sites. The levels of total bacteria in the water varied between 1.3 x 104 and 67.3 x 104 CFU/100 mL. The MPN values of thermotolerant coliforms (< 930 MPN/100 mL) were within values recommended for water used for fish culture and/or irrigation. The presence of E. coli and fecal streptococci were verified in 48% and 56% of analysed samples, respectively. The site with floating net cages showed more samples contaminated with E. coli and fecal streptococci than other sampling points.

Este trabalho foi realizado para analisar os parâmetros microbiológicos da qualidade da água de um reservatório destinado a irrigação e à cultivo de tilapia do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) em tanques redes. Foi realizada análise de parâmetros físico-químicos, quantificação de bactérias totais aeróbias mesófilas, coliformes totais e termotolerantes, estreptococos fecais e a detecção de E. coli em amostras de água coletada em três pontos distintos do açude (pré-cultivo, cultivo, pós-cultivo). Os níveis de amônia (0,047-0,059 mg/L), nitrito (0,001-0,021 mg/L) e fósforo total (0,050-0,355 mg/L) na água não apresentaram diferenças significativas (p > 0.05) entre os pontos de coleta. As contagens de bactérias aeróbias mesófilas variaram entre 1,3 x 104 e 67,3 x 104 UFC/100 mL nas amostras de água. O NMP de coliformes termotolerantes (< 930 NMP/100 mL) se apresentou dentro do limite permitido para águas doces destinadas a piscicultura e/ou irrigação. A presença de E. coli foi constatada em 48% e de estreptococos fecais em 56% das amostras de água analisadas. O local de cultivo de tilápia em tanques-rede apresentou maior número de amostras contaminadas com E. coli e estreptococos fecais que outros pontos de amostragem.

The intensive culture of fish in cages, such as floating net cages is widespread around the world, and is indicated as one of the major methods for intense fish production in the tropics (Outtara et al., 2003; Liao et al., 2004). Over the last decade, cage aquaculture in Brazil has expanded in an expressive way, generating substantive income and an increase in the production and exportation of fish. According to the FAO (2009), the freshwater fish produced in fish culture in Brazil constituted for 70% of the total aquaculture production.
The environmental impact of waste (fish faeces, uneaten food, bacterial biomass) from the fish culture industry, notably from cage fish farms, is an increasing issue of concern around the world. The intensive fish culture in cages can lead to the eutrophisation of water bodies and to the emergence of deleterious effects on the water quality, such as the blooms of toxic cyanobacteria that are harmful for wildlife and humans. There are several works on the effect of fish culture in cages on water quality (Ntengwe et al., 2008; Azevedo et al., 2011; Degefu et al., 2011; Schenone et al., 2011). Cage fish farming is usually performed in small water bodies such as fish ponds and reservoirs, which are often used for plant irrigation. In fish farming projects and irrigation reservoirs, it is essential to control the physical, chemical and biological variables of the water that may affect the survival and growth of fish, as well as the irrigated plant development and human health (Lachi and Sipaúba-Tavares, 2008).
Successful fish farming in ponds depends on the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the water and the nutrition management of the aquaculture species. All of these factors in fish farming ponds and lakes are inter-related and require careful and constant monitoring to avoid contamination and/or degradation of the environment. Special attention must be paid to cyanobacteria blooms, which are symptomatic of eutrophication in productive lakes, since they may produce cyanotoxins (Funari and Testai, 2008; Semyalo et al., 2010) which are toxic to vertebrates and can affect human health through direct contact or consumption of contaminated water, fish or plants. Caging aquaculture may also cause other impacts on aquatic environments, such as the destruction of natural habitats and alterations in the structure and dynamics of local organisms, as well as trophic changes (Agostinho et al., 2008; Strictar-Pereira et al., 2010; Dias et al., 2012).
Microorganisms have a very important function in water bodies, since they participate in the transformation of the nutrients, the nutrition of animals, disease control and they may affect various parameters of water quality, such as dissolved oxygen, pH and ammonia (Moriarty, 1997).
The indicator microorganisms such as total and thermotolerant coliforms, Escherichia coli and faecal streptococci, are commonly used to assess the contamination level of water and food. The faecal streptococci and, mainly, the enterococos constitute for one of the most efficient indicators for faecal contamination in water (APHA, 1998).
In this work we examined the reservoir used for the irrigation of sugar cane plantation and for small-scale culture of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in floating net cages in the northeast of Brazil. We analysed some microbiological and physico-chemical parameters of the reservoir to assess the influence of fish cage farming on the water quality.
2.1. Study area
The reservoir Padre Azevedo with a surface area of 2.32 km2 is located in the municipal district of Sape in the state of Paraíba, Brazil (07°02′20″ S and 35°11′15″ W) (Figure 1). The regional climate is classified as humid tropical, and annually receives an average rainfall of 900 mm, with two distinct seasonal periods of precipitation: a dry season that normally extends between September and February, and a rainy season from March to August. During the year of this study (2008) the monthly precipitations of the rainy season varied between 150 and 200 mm, and in the dry season between 10 and 50 mm.
Figure 1 Localization of reservoir Padre Azevedo at the Paraíba state (Brazil) and the sampling sites:A- pre-cultivation site; B - cultivation of tilapia in net cages; C - post-cultivation site.
The reservoir Padre Azevedo was mainly used to supply water for the irrigation of the sugar cane plantation, and fish farming in net cages was a valuable additional activity. Initially, the reservoir contained 300 floating net cages for the production of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), with a volume of 4 m3 each, but at present the number of cages is lower. The cages were filled with 800 fish of 70 g, with a density of 200 fish/m3, and later three gradings were carried out to reduce the amount of fish to 600-700, with a density of 150-175 fish/m3.
2.2.Sampling and the physicochemical analysis of water
The water samples were collected in three sites from the reservoir at 1.0 m depth : A - pre-cultivation site; B - cultivation site with fish cages; C - post-cultivation site (Figure 1), every two months during the year of 2008. The water samples in 2-litre pet bottles were maintained at 4 °C for up to 24 hours.
The following physico-chemical parameters of water were analysed: temperature, pH, amount of ammonia, nitrite, total phosphorus and dissolved oxygen according to the methods described by Koroleff (1976) and APHA (1998).
2.3. Microbiological analyses of water samples
Decimal dilutions of water samples were made with saline solution 0.9% and plated on selective media. Counts of total aerobic mesophilic bacteria were done on the Plate Count Agar (PCA) (Difco). The plates were incubated at 30 °C for 5 days. The enumeration of total and thermotolerant coliforms were realised by the Most Probable Number (MPN) technique, according to APHA (1998), using the following media: the Lauril Sodium Sulfate Broth (presumptive test for the total coliforms); the Lactose Bile 2% Brilliant Green Broth (confirmative test for the total coliforms and the presumptive for thermotolerant coliforms) and the Escherichia coli Broth (confirmation for the thermotolerant coliforms). The presence of E. coli was determined on the fluorogenic medium MUG (Himedia). The quantification of faecal streptococci was done through the MPN technique using the Dextrose Azide Broth (APHA, 1998), and the confirmation of the presence of faecal streptococci was carried out on Enterococos Pfizer medium (PSE, Himedia).
The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed on the data of bacterial density and physicochemical variables using Statistica (version 5) software. Mean values and standard errors were generated for each microbial group and physical and chemical parameter.
The results of the physico-chemical parameters of the water samples from the three sampling points on the fish farm reservoir are presented in Table 1. The average temperature of water in all sampling points varied between 27.8 °C and 28.1 °C. The pH values showed strong fluctuations over the study period (Table 1), especially in the culture site (6.2-10.0). Throughout the experiment, the amount of ammonia, nitrite, phosphorus and dissolved oxygen in the reservoir water did not differ significantly between sampling sites (p > 0.05). The levels of ammonia varied from 0.047 to 0.597 mg/L, with higher means for the culture and post-culture sites (B and C) (Table 1). The nitrite varied from 0.001 to 0.021 mg/L, with similar means for all sites. The total phosphorus ranged from 0.050 to 0.355 mg/L, and its highest concentrations were registered between February and August (rainy season). The values of dissolved oxygen slightly varied between the analysed sites, with an average values of between 7.1 and 8.4 mg/L (Table 1).

Counts of total heterotrophic bacteria ranged from 1.3 x 104 to 67.3 x 104 CFU/100 mL of water (Table 2). The lowest numbers of bacteria were observed at the end of the rainy season (August) in all sampling sites. Average counts of bacteria were higher in the fish culture site (site B - 34.2 CFU/100 mL) than in the pre- and post-culture sites (Table 2).

The total coliforms were found in almost all samples of the reservoir and their numbers varied between 70 and 4600 MPN/100 mL in the period from March to November, 2008 (Table 3). The total coliforms number was several times higher in January than in other months. The MPN values of thermotolerant coliforms in water samples were within the limits for the fresh water that can be used for fish farming and irrigation (1000 MPN/100 mL), however one sample collected at the culture site showed a value (930 MPN/100 mL) close to the permitted limit (Table 3). Site B (culture) was characterised by a higher number of samples with thermotolerant coliforms and higher numbers of these bacteria (Table 4, Figure 2). The lowest numbers of thermotolerant coliforms were observed in the water of the pre-cultivation site (site A), where only two samples showed a presence of these bacteria (40 MPN/100 mL).

The presence of E. coli was verified in 48% of the water samples (Table 4, Figure 2), and site B (fish culture) showed a higher number of positive samples. E. coli was detected in 1 mL of water in all positive samples, with the exception of one collected in site B (10−1 dilution) (Table 4).
The presence of faecal streptococci was observed in 56% of analysed samples and their numbers varied from 23 to 240 MPN/100 mL (Table 3, Figure 2). The post-culture site showed more samples contaminated with fecal streptococci (71%).
The water quality of the net cages environment directly influences the productivity and the sanity of the fish (Kubitza, 2003; Sapkota et al., 2008). Theoretically, fish farming in cages in eutrophic environments is predis-posed to alterations in the function of high concentrations of nutrients; among them an increase in the eutrofization process, pH changes, and the possibility of increasing the toxicity of the non-ionized ammonia (NH3) and nitrite (NO2). In the reservoirs of the Brazilian northeast, high temperatures can catalyse those processes turning them into more evident and frequent processes. The dynamics of nutrients, such as ammonia and nitrite is important for fish farming, especially in the reservoirs in the northeast of Brazil, because of the tropical climate and the presence of alkaline water. The interactions of these environmental factors can influence fish production by increasing the rate of alimentary conversion, reducing the weight gain and leaching of a higher quantity of nutrients into the environment.
During the study of Padre Azevedo reservoir the amount of ammonia, nitrite, phosphorus and dissolved oxygen in the water were similar for all sampling sites. The values of the ammonia observed in the reservoir were lower than the values that are considered harmful to the fish according to Carmo et al. (2008). Cardoso Filho et al. (2010) registered similar nitrite values in the water of fish farming effluents used for irrigation. Usually, as in the present work, low values of phosphorus are observed in the tanks with Nile tilapia culture (Baccarin and Camargo, 2005).
Physico-chemical parameters of the water, such as pH, nutrients and presence of toxic compounds may influence the density of bacterial populations. The importance of the microbial population in the reservoirs used for fish farming and irrigation can be resumed by its influence on the amount and diversity of bacteria in the fish during capture, handling and processing, as well as in the microbial contamination of food produced in agriculture under irrigation.
The levels of total mesophilic aerobic bacteria serve as support in the evaluation of the water in respect to the decomposing activity. Bacterial counts in the water analysed were in the range of 104 to 105 CFU/100 mL. These results were lower than values recorded by Ntengwe and Edema (2008) in the order of 106 CFU/mL of fishing culture pond water, but higher than those observed by Ahmed and Naim (2003) in the tilapia culture pond (103- 104 CFU/mL).
Average counts of bacteria were higher in the site of fish culture then in the pre- and post-culture sites of the Padre Azevedo reservoir. Similarly, the culture site was characterised by higher numbers of thermotolerant coliforms and E. coli. However, the contamination level of faecal streptococci was higher in the post-culture site.
The relatively high numbers of bacteria observed in the reservoir reflect the nature of the cultivation of fish in net cages, which uses a considerable volume of alimentary inputs in the reduced area, with a consequent release of high quantities of alimentary residues and metabolites to the environment that can strongly influence the microbiological quality of water. Gondwe et al. (2011) observed that nutrient losses from cages to the surrounding environment in the order of 81-91% for C, 59-80% for N and 85-92% for p, indicating the importance of cage aquaculture as a new source of nutrients, not only locally, but on a lake-wide basis, may stimulate microbial populations. As a consequence, the quality of commercialised fish can be committed due to the high contamination of pathogenic bacteria or saprophytic bacteria that accelerates the deterioration process of the fish.
Furthermore, the high temperature of the water observed in the tropics and the neutral and alkaline pH are favourable for the growth of bacteria. Such conditions were observed in the reservoir analysed in this work, where the water temperature ranged from 26 to 30 °C and the majority of samples showed a pH over 8.0 during the period of study.
Our results showed that the water quality parameters of the Padre Azevedo reservoir were within the limits recommended for the production of fish and irrigation. However, the presence of E. coli was verified in 48% and faecal streptococci in 56% of the water samples, indicating the potential risks of contamination of the fish and plants when irrigated with polluted water. Santos et al. (2012) also observed the presence of total coliforms and Escherichia coli in the water of all six studied fish farms in Maranhão State (Brazil), and Alexopoulos et al. (2011) detected faecal coliforms and streptococci in all water samples from different Greek sea fish farms.
As shown in the present and other work, aquaculture environments are characterised by fluctuations of physico-chemical parameters and microbiological indicators caused by different nutrient loads, trophic changes, climatic characteristics, etc. (Baccarin et al., 2005; Degefu et al., 2011; Santos et al., 2012), and therefore special attention should be paid to the frequency of limnological and sanitary aspects of the water. Fish farming in the reservoirs used for irrigation may benefit aquaculture systems integrated with agriculture (Behera et al., 2012), however, there is a need to apply monitoring programmes regarding not only the physico-chemical parameters, but also the analysis of cyantoxins and microbiological indicators that are rarely included in the monitoring of the fish farm water quality. The microbial and phytoplankton dynamics in such sensitive ecosystems should be under constant control and frequent monitoring by using sensitive indicators.

Q: bootstrap table, sorting columns with custom sorter based on row attribute I'm using the "Bootstrap Table" API : https://bootstrap-table.com/.
The problem i'm having is that I have my field set up with the attributes :
{field: 'price', title: 'prices', sortable: true, sorter: "customSorter"}

By extension, my custom sorter look like this :
function customSorter(fieldA, fieldB) {

}

What I would like is being able to access my row attributes inside the customSorter function, because I'd like some of my row that have a specific attribute (for instance if row.important is set to true) to appear on top of the list no matter what. I've seen that you can access those with "Bootstrap datatable" because custom sorter are like this :
function customSorter(fieldA, fieldB, rowA, rowB) {

}

But I don't want to change for that since the code is huge allready, is there a trick that I don't know of that could do that ?

A: You can access a attribute easy with rowA.<attribute> e.g. rowA.important.
The problem is if you check for that attribute and retun 1 on the sorter it only works for desc ordering.
The reason is that the bootstrap-table internal negate the result of the formatter to sort is asc.
Currently there is no additional parameter to check if the user sorts asc or desc.
Please open a issue on the bootstrap-table repository and it will be added soon.

Signed: Modern Girls: Paperback
A dazzling debut novel set in New York City's Jewish immigrant community in 1935...
"How was it that out of all the girls in the office, I was the one to find myself in this situation? This didn t happen to nice Jewish girls."
In 1935, Dottie Krasinsky is the epitome of the modern girl. A bookkeeper in Midtown Manhattan, Dottie steals kisses from her steady beau, meets her girlfriends for drinks, and eyes the latest fashions. Yet at heart, she is a dutiful daughter, living with her Yiddish-speaking parents on the Lower East Side. So when, after a single careless night, she finds herself in a family way by a charismatic but unsuitable man, she is desperate: unwed, unsure, and running out of options.
After the birth of five children and twenty years as a housewife Dottie's immigrant mother, Rose, is itching to return to the social activism she embraced as a young woman. With strikes and breadlines at home and National Socialism rising in Europe, there is much more important work to do than cooking and cleaning. So when she realizes that she, too, is pregnant, she struggles to reconcile her longings with her faith.
As mother and daughter wrestle with unthinkable choices, they are forced to confront their beliefs, the changing world, and the fact that their lives will never again be the same .

I am the Youth Services (teen focused) Librarian at the Northfield Public Library. Attending the Minnesota Library Association Conference directly relates to what I hope to accomplish in serving the Northfield community. This conference gave me an opportunity to connect with other youth services librarians across the state of Minnesota, learn about new programming ideas to implement with my Teen Advisory Board (TAB), and how to ensure our library services reflect the core values of librarianship. Many of the sessions I attended related to my youth services responsibilities, such as early literacy skills implementation in storytime, working with teens, under the radar young adult books, visual merchandising, and self-care. The self-care session was helpful not only for myself, but also what I hope to bring into the library via conversation and programming. The presenter for this particular session stressed, "You cannot pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first." I believe by providing a space that encourages lifelong learning, in whatever form that takes, we have the opportunity to encourage self-care and mindfulness, and help destigmatize the conversation about mental health.
"Teens are Humans Too" was my favorite session that I attended. The St. Paul Public Library's CreaTech Team presented this session that focused on how teen librarians, and all library staff, can best serve the teens in our communities. One of the quotes they included in their presentation was, "Be who you needed when you were younger." This resonated with me because, as we all know, being a teenager is a significant time in our lives where we are discovering our identities and our place in this world amongst our friends, family, and society. This session validated my personal librarianship experience, and inspired me in what I hope to accomplish with Northfield's youth going forward. I appreciated their discussion about building the relationships with teens over time. They mentioned how as teen librarians, it is important to focus on balance by, "Respecting teens enough to hold them to a high standard of behavior, but also appreciate that they will act out as part of learning to be an adult." It is important to keep this in mind while remembering not to take anything personally because this is not about us, it is about the teens.
"Manga and Graphic Novels" was another session I attended. It explained the difference between the two forms of illustrated novels, and the common misconceptions attributed to both. Members from my Teen Advisory Board have expressed interest in starting an anime and manga group at the Northfield Public Library. This session provided me with the background I believed necessary for myself to get this group off the ground. The Teen Advisory Board and I have planned to start a Teen Anime and Manga Club that will start in November. As one of my TAB members pointed out, this Teen Anime and Manga Club will interest teens who would not be interested in joining TAB, which is crucial. My hope is to reach as many teens as we can with library programming. I am excited and hopeful about the direction this group will take, especially because it was initiated by teens.
Another session I attended was about visual merchandising, which relates back to the Teen Anime and Manga Club. The visual merchandising session mentioned imagining where hot zones are located in your library. When promoting the anime and manga club, I kept this thermal map in mind. In addition to social media and , event graphics were posted in the young adult graphic novel section where the manga is located because teens who use that particular collection are likely already interested in manga.
