Council to Discuss Transit District Development in College Park
M-Square development
The transit district contains approximately 293 acres of land, and is split nearly in half by municipalities, with its northern portion located in the City of College Park and its southern portion located within the Town of Riverdale Park.
The City Council will discuss the Transit district development plan at tonight's worksession.
The transit district features a mix of commercial, research and development, federal facilities, light industrial, and recreation uses anchored by the College Park/UMD Metro station, College Park Airport and Museum, the Northeast Branch Stream Valley Park, the Tennis Center at College Park, Wells-Linson park complex, and the University of Maryland M Square Office and Research Park. Greenbelt National Park is immediately to the northeast and the East Campus portion of the University of Maryland, College Park campus is also nearby to the northwest.
Chad Williams, from M-NCPPC will be at the worksession this week to discuss the planning process for the TDDP and how residents and the City of College Park can get involved and have input.
Several key initiatives are expected to play a major role in the future growth of the project area, including the proposed Purple Line, the University of Maryland M Square Office and Research Park, and proposed development of the Cafritz Property, to name a few. Additionally, major federal and affiliated entities have located within the transit district since 1997, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), National Foreign Language Center, and NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction.
The transit district is also adjoined to the west by two National Register Historic Districts: Calvert Hills and Old Town College Park, and to the south by a third, the Riverdale Park National Register Historic District. With so many amenities nearby, the transit district has the potential to become a major employment center for Prince George's County.
A draft of the plan is tentatively slated to be released for public review in early spring 2014, and final approval is expected in fall 2014. More information is available at www.pgplanning.org/cprp-tddp.htm.

This is great news!! This area has a lot of potential (esp. considering its proximity to metro and biking trails) and could be developed into a second downtown college park.

First brochure containing the Norwegian Cruiselines BreakWay ship, with PETER MAX's artwork on the hull. October 2012. Historic date for Max's Atelier in New York. This project is perhaps only second to the Continental 2000 Airplane.
Rendering of the BREAKWAY hull to be launched in early 2013.
NEW YORK -- Add cruise ships to the list of things decorated by pop artist Peter Max.
Norwegian Cruise Line CEO Kevin Sheehan on Thursday announced the company had commissioned Max to design the hull art for its next ship, the Norwegian Breakaway.
Speaking at a press conference at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal, Sheehan noted it was the first time the line had asked a well-known artist to create one of the designs that adorn the outside of its vessel.
"I am a huge fan of his work and know that the art he creates for Norwegian Breakaway will make the ship instantly recognizable," Sheehan said.
Max, a prolific illustrator who has painted everything from a Boeing 777 flying for Continental to a giant mural at the 2002 Winter Olympics, is preparing four options for the Norwegian Breakaway's exterior.
Norwegian on Thursday also announced that the 4,000-passenger Norwegian Breakaway would be based year-round in New York, becoming the largest cruise ship ever home ported in the city. Read more about Norwegian's announcement.
Currently under construction at a shipyard in Germany, the Norwegian Breakaway is scheduled to debut in May 2013. The ship was named by a USA TODAY reader in a contest held here at the Cruise Log this year.

CSU students and their equine charges pick up the right lead while training together
by Coleman Cornelius
When Logan Bennett started riding the 3-year-old Quarter Horse gelding under his tutelage, the student had a pet name for his mount: "Whoa Dammit."
Fast-forward several months, and the horse lopes calmly with his rider, halting responsively when asked to "whoa." Now the horse is called by his registered name: "Peppy."
'Learning never ends'
"His progress has taught me that the learning never ends for the horse or the rider, and that makes me a better horse person," said Bennett, a junior in the Colorado State University Equine Sciences Program.
Bennett is among more than three dozen undergraduate students in the university's trademark Equine Sciences Program who have started 40 young horses in training laboratories that meet several times a week during the academic year. The students in these "colt training" classes have shepherded the 2- and 3-year-old horses from barely halter-broken to working under saddle.
The young horses will be auctioned during the eighth annual CSU Legends of Ranching Performance Horse Sale on April 27 at the B.W. Pickett Equine Center on the university's Foothills Campus in Fort Collins.
Unique program
Legends of Ranching is unique: All the young horses in the sale have received their early training from students in the CSU Equine Sciences Program with faculty guidance. The sale caps an educational program that gives students the singular opportunity to start well-bred young horses.
The process always teaches CSU students more than they expect, giving even the best riders a newfound respect for horses and proper training, equine instructor Roberta Walton said.
"It's the best class I've ever taken," concurred Bennett, who grew up riding in his hometown near Atlanta. "You get to ride, learn – it's awesome."
Largest sale yet
Along with the young horses, 41 older, experienced horses will be sold. The total offering of 81 American Quarter Horses makes the 2013 Legends of Ranching Performance Horse Sale the largest yet. The horses come from 24 consignors, including some of the nation's best-known Western horse ranches.
Last spring, the Legends of Ranching Performance Horse Sale generated more than $330,000 in proceeds, according to records. The average sale price in 2012 was $5,376. Proceeds are split among consignors, the CSU Equine Sciences Program and sale costs.
Equine students not only have trained about half the horses to be auctioned, but also have planned and will manage most aspects of the sale.
Uncommon learning experience
The arrangement gives CSU equine students an uncommon learning experience, while also benefitting consignors and the university's Equine Sciences Program.
"We're proud of the marketplace position that the Legends of Ranching Performance Horse Sale occupies. Through eight years of hard work, planning and careful execution, this sale continues to build on a reputation of respect, where good horses bring solid prices," said Dr. Jerry Black, D.V.M., director of both the CSU Equine Sciences Program and the CSU Equine Reproduction Laboratory.
"However," Black noted, "what really matters with this sale is not what the horses bring, but what the students learn. The real value is in the hands-on education."
Carly Little, an equine science senior from Denver, is among many students in the Legends program to admit she'll be sad to see her horse go. Little, a teaching assistant in a training lab, has worked with a 3-year-old roan gelding named Red Hot Slush.
'Definitely rewarding'
"Working with horses, you learn something new every time," she said. "It's definitely rewarding because you see the progress step-by-step."
It's also challenging, said Taylor Randall, a sophomore from Yorkville, Ill., who has trained a 2-year-old mare named AR Especials Barmaid.
"It's a lot of work," Randall said, patting the sorrel filly's neck. "She thinks so quickly that she figures things out, sometimes faster than I realize I'm teaching her. But it's been very rewarding. I mean, I did this – I trained a horse!"

Up in the placid land of the Nords lies plenty of vegan-friendly grubspots for any hungry viking (or temporary vikings) that have made the effort of visiting. Though not traditionally known to be a vegan paradise, Norway nonetheless has made great strides in going green cuisine. Check out our top ten list of veg-licious eats north of the wall!
This former catering company planted roots (see what we did there?) in the DogA center in 2014 and has been attracting voracious vegans since. Specializing in healthy Western-style cuisine, reviewers love their jackfruit Oumph burger, falafel ball Funky Fresh Salad, and raw strawberry cheesecake.
With award-winning cuisine, customizable bowls and rotating specials, this solid top contender is a fan favorite among both veg and nonvegans. The buddha bowl, lasagna and curry dishes are particular standouts. Lunch is cantine-style, pick a dish and receive side salad and dishes. Raw desserts and homemade kombucha are another draw for the discerning diner!
This chain, founded by followers of late guru Sri Chinmoy, has two convenient locations around Oslo. Hearty soups, sandwiches and seasonal specials are sure to satisfy the cold bodies of wandering tourists. Reviewers particularly loved their lentil soup, curries and freshly made desserts (pies in particular).
Most long-time and well-informed vegans will already know about Loving Hut, a chain founded by followers of Supreme Master Ching Hai. Serving reasonably priced burgers, kebabs and various desserts, this is a quick and enjoyable rest stop for anyone looking for tasty eats on a budget. The theme of the cuisine is centered around Asian/Vietnamese influences, though they also serve Western fare such as pizza and wraps.
For those who want to take their health to the next level, Oslo Raw offers raw pizzas, hearty bowls and subtly sweet desserts. They also make custom wedding cakes, host workshops on raw cuisine and have a bakery next door.
True to its name, The Veggie Show hosts veggies, fresh fruit and natural foods as its main stars. The beetroot burger (beetroot buns, smoked, crispy bacon, tomato, red onion & grill sauce, served alongside triple dip veggies), house waffle (smashed guacamole, hot sauce, crispy bacon coconut) and vegan poké bowl (avocado bowl, sushi rice, mango, wakame, edamame, cucumber & soy sauce) are all standout stars.
Touting itself as a purveyor of "plant-based comfort food," Nordic Foodprint encourages its diners to get in touch with nature by promoting a locally-sourced, organic and seasonal menu. They give you the choice of a base, five market sides and three house-made dressings; a simple, short and uncomplicated menu.
Organic, locally-sourced and all that other jazz, Kumi serves up fresh juices, smoothie bowls and brunch. Popular menu items include their Mexican bowl, tofu scramble with toast and pancake stack. If you happen to be around for dinner, don't miss their stellar pizzas, halloumi sliders and Buddha bowl!
Heralded by reviewers as "the best juice in Oslo," this franchise pours its heart and soul into its fresh, healthy and filling fare. Acai bowls, smoothies and juices can all be had at slightly expensive price points. Still, a solid investment for a refreshing pick-me-up during your stay in Oslo.
Housed in a traditional wood-paneled, standalone barn, this cozy little cafe serves delicious and freshly made raffles, coffee and baked goods. Pick up some vegan essentials on your way out, as this cafe doubles as a natural/organic general goods store. The best of both worlds!

Q: How to access the value of a radio button I am trying to access the value of a radio button using HTML and Javascript to make a simple quiz but it does not seem to be working. Here is my code:

function check() {
var a = document.getElementById("test").value
if (a === "one") {
alert("Correct!")
} else {
alert("Wrong!")
}
}

Simple Quiz

1) What is 1 + 1?

<form>
  <input type="radio" name="one" id="test" value="one">1

  <input type="radio" name="one" id="test" value="two">2

  <input type="radio" name="one" id="test" value="three">3

  <button onclick="check()">Check</button>
</form>

It always says "Correct!" even when it is not. Does anyone know how to fix this?

A: Some points you are missing:

*

*An id must be unique on the whole page

*To check if a radio button is checked, use its checked attribute

function check() {
  var two = document.getElementById("two");
  if (two.checked) {
    alert("Correct!")
  } else {
    alert("Wrong!")
  }
}

  Simple Quiz

 1) What is 1 + 1?

<form>
  <input type="radio" name="one" id="one" value="one">1

  <input type="radio" name="one" id="two" value="two">2

  <input type="radio" name="one" id="three" value="three">3

  <button onclick="check()">Check</button>
</form>

A: First, you cannot have the same id on multiple elements. Make to give your elements a unique id and if you need to give them all the same style you could use class instead.
Instead of checking the value of the radio button, you should check whether the radio button is checked.
Take a look at the example below.

function check() {
  if (document.getElementById('test2').checked) {
    alert('correct');
  } else {
    alert('wrong');
  }
}
<!DOCTYPE html>

  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
  <title>Example</title>

Simple Quiz

1) What is 1 + 1?

<form>
  <input type="radio" name="one" id="test1" value="one">1

  <input type="radio" name="one" id="test2" value="two">2

  <input type="radio" name="one" id="test3" value="three">3

  <button onclick="check()">Check</button>
</form>

A: you should not define more than one element with the same id that's a bad practice, you could improve your code function check() {
  for (elemnt of document.getElementByClassName('test') ) { if (element.checked ) alert('correct');
else alert ("incrrect");}}
Them in the html you can do this

<input type="radio" class="test" value="1">

<input type="radio" class="test" value="2">

<input type="radio" class="test" value="3">

Working closely with Sir Robert McAlpine, and up to 60 different subcontractors at any one time, KCCJ project managed the installation of all the catering and beverage systems in the impressive O2 arena in Greenwich, London.
This included installations in the Chairman's Club, the O2 Lounge, the Blue Room, the Premier Club, the private boxes and 24 foodservice concessions.
KCCJ was responsible for appointing and co-ordinating all the contractors involved in the catering and beverage installations, and ensuring that their work was undertaken and completed to consistently high standards of design and performance. To streamline the process, a core team from KCCJ worked on-site within the O2 project office in Greenwich during the construction period.
Innovative catering facilities developed by KCCJ include a specially designed large 'sizzle' griddle unit and canopy with a specially designed radio-controlled fire suppression system within the arena's luxurious Premier Club restaurant.
Curved bar counters were specially designed and fabricated to reflect the shape of the arena, using laser cut stainless steel. One hundred and fifty private boxes were fitted out with refrigeration equipment and counter hob units, designed by KCCJ.

Lady Gaga To Launch A Fragrance
The megastar signs a deal with Coty Inc.

Soaked in blood at last year's MTV Video Music Awards; clothed in meat on the September cover of Japan's Vogue Homme; dressed in minimal clothing and maximal headpieces most days of the week; plus her bevy of wild hair colours, including the silver and blue tresses from last night's VMAs—it makes us all wonder, what will Lady Gaga do next? Answer: release a fragrance. WWD reports that the fame monster herself has signed a long-term licensing deal with fragrance heavyweight Coty Inc. Also ahead for the megastar is a new album called Born This Way, whose title she revealed last night while accepting her Moonman (one of eight!) for Video of the Year for "Bad Romance." While Gaga fans will have to wait until spring 2012 to sport the sure-to-be-interesting juice, it gives plenty of time to deliberate the burning question: how on earth will Gaga be captured in a scent? Any guesses? We want to hear them in the comments below.

DNA process stamps patterns
August 10/17, 2005
Many researchers are tapping DNA's ability to spontaneously assemble in order to make objects on the molecular scale.
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Virginia Commonwealth University have devised a way to stamp patterns made of single-stranded DNA molecules onto a surface. The method also makes it possible to convert patterns composed of other material into DNA.
The method could be used to print microarrays of DNA that can be used for medical research and diagnosis. It could also be used to print many types of devices, including tiny channels that shunt fluids around biochips, optical biosensors and transistors, according to the researchers.
One of the main challenges of nanotechnology is developing methods of making objects in parallel to enable mass production. One of the advantages of the researchers' stamping method is that each pattern produced by a stamp can, in turn, be used as a stamp.
The technique can transfer patterns whose features are as small as 30 nanometers. A nanometer is one millionth of a millimeter, or the span of 10 hydrogen atoms. The researchers used the method to stamp lines, circles and squares.
To make a stamp, the researchers used lithography -- etching using light and chemicals -- to produce a master copy of the pattern, then chemically attached a set of DNA strands to it. They then attached another set of DNA strands to the first set, attached the chemically-modified ends of those strands to a surface, and detached the second set of DNA strands from the first to produce the stamped pattern.
In theory, the method will work with any pairs of molecules that recognize and attach to each other, then can be detached, including antibodies and antigens, according to the researchers. The stamped patterns can also be modified. The researchers added metal and fluorescent molecules to some of their prototype stamp patterns.
The work appeared in the June 13, 2005 issue of Nano Letters (Supramolecular Nanostamping: Using DNA as Movable Type).

Even though President Trump backed the other guy in the race who was Mitch McConnell's boy, Judge Roy Moore is the candidate loved by conservatives who will better serve the Trump agenda.
NY Times reports Roy S. Moore, a firebrand former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, overcame efforts by top Republicans to rescue his rival, Senator Luther Strange, defeating him on Tuesday in a special primary runoff, according to The Associated Press.
Propelled by the stalwart support of his fellow evangelical Christians, Mr. Moore survived a multimillion-dollar advertising onslaught financed by allies of Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader. His victory demonstrated in stark terms the limits of Mr. Trump's clout.


Most people had no idea who he was.
Wasn't this paradigm supposed to be over? Isn't MTV dead? Isn't every creator criticizing the public for watching their masterpieces on phone screens?
Yes, but "This Is America" has garnered 41+ million YouTube views in four days.
This success is about the video.
I'm sure you've felt or heard the buzz. But if you pull up the video, it's got all the elements the public is supposedly intolerant of, violence, racism… It's the flipside of the Trump revolution. Honesty on the left. By someone with incredible purchase.
Funny how African-Americans are pushing the artistic envelope and whites are just complaining that someone moved their cheese.
The video makes you think. And feel. In an era where too much music has been relegated to the dustbin, seen as a second-class citizen, momentary entertainment, Glover is not so much challenging us than bopping us over the head, forcing us to evaluate our own viewpoints, either resonate in solidarity or turn it off.
History always repeats, just not in the way you think it does.
We were waiting for anthems to bubble up and dominate radio. But the anger is more tribal and less singable, and music lives online, not over the airwaves. You pull it up on demand, there are no gatekeepers, you get a vibe on the wind and you check it out.
That's how hard it is to make it these days. Glover was playing to sold out theaters and still most people had no idea what he was doing. Let that be a lesson to the wannabes wondering why they've not had their chance.
You've got to make your own chance, over and over and over again.
And I'm not sure how long Glover's moment lasts. Today some art is evanescent, and some lasts nearly forever. You can have an impact for a moment and be in the rearview mirror just that fast. But if you're establishing a body of work as opposed to reaching for a momentary brass ring, you survive.
Watch the video, have your own opinion, but just know it's not your father's music business anymore.
Pop is dead. You know, that manufactured sound constructed by a team, refined for smoothness to the point where there's no edge to catch you.
And rock became so formulaic as to be uninteresting.
The public will catch up with you.
As it just did with Donald Glover.
Childish Gambino's 'This Is America' has become an overnight cultural phenomenon. The internet was quick to point out tons of hidden messages throughout the piece. Here's some you've might have missed.

Q: blank screen on boot; can't reach login; 14.04 I've looked through almost all of the suggested questions as well as searched on the error messages in the attached logs and can't find anything applicable - at least as far as I understand things.
I'm running 14.04 LTS upgraded from 12.04 LTS. I recently installed ubuntu Tweak (at the same time I had to reinstall Software Center because it suddenly appeared as "not installed) and did a housecleaning. I also did an update that required a restart and now am unable to reach the login screen.
I've tried everything in recovery mode. I am unable to start in the failsafex (graphics safe mode), receiving a message as follows:

I've tried hitting Esc to disable the splash screen and things appear to be going fine until something reads "FAIL", but the screen flashes by so fast I don't know what it is and don't know how to slow it down or interrupt it. Several more processes load and then it stops and the screen then only shows:

and freezes there.
I'm running an ASUS laptop with an AMD64 chipset with 4GB of RAM and a 1 GB HDD dual booted with Windows 7 (into which I can boot, but very seldom use because of update problems I haven't been able to solve).
I wanted to attach the following files: /var/log/boot.log and /var/log/dmesg but I don't have "Manage Attachments" button to do so. So, I'll just add the last several lines of each file.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel meets with Libyan Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibeh at the second Libya summit in Berlin, June 23.
A rise in refugees, a need for solutions
The number of people fleeing violence keeps going up, forcing more attention on successful diplomacy, such as in Libya.
By the Monitor's Editorial Board
Last year, the number of people who fled violence and persecution worldwide rose for the ninth year in a row, reaching 1 in every 95 people. The swell of migrants is now pushing many countries to both tighten their borders and try to solve the crises creating refugees. Are any of these efforts working?
In the United States, Vice President Kamala Harris visited the southern border Friday, her first visit as the federal official now in charge of curbing an upsurge of migrants into the U.S. Her work to improve conditions for people in Central America could take years and more money from Congress to lift up the region.
In Africa, 16 countries decided Wednesday to send troops to Mozambique, a hot spot of terrorist attacks, in order to prevent a flood of refugees into neighboring nations. More than 800,000 people have already been displaced there.
In Southeast Asia, neighboring countries of Myanmar are trying to prevent an influx of refugees fleeing a domestic conflict between armed pro-democracy rebels and a military that took power five months ago. So far, they have failed to persuade the ruling junta to share power.
In Afghanistan, the coming withdrawal of U.S. forces has forced President Joe Biden to plan for the evacuation of 18,000 Afghans who have worked with American forces. He and other world leaders are also trying to bolster the elected government in Kabul to prevent an exodus of Afghans fleeing the expected expansion of Taliban rule.
Perhaps the best example of progress in solving a refugee-producing crisis is in Libya, which has been largely unstable since a 2011 uprising against dictator Muammar Qaddafi.
A Germany-led effort to end an internal conflict in the North African country – and stop it from being a transit point for migration to Europe – has showed good success since an October cease-fire. In February, a transitional government was set up to unite contending factions. At an international conference in Berlin on Wednesday, further progress was made in planning for the pullout of 20,000 foreign fighters backed by Russia and Turkey and for a crucial election in December.
The next step for Libya's unity government is to agree on a constitutional framework for the elections. "Libya's fresh political leadership and the country's energetic but beleaguered civil society, can make a difference," one U.S. official said after the conference.
On June 20, the world marked the 70th anniversary of an international treaty, signed by most countries, to prevent refugees from being forced back into a conflict zone. That treaty has largely worked. Now the world's focus is on solving or preventing conflicts. Libya's progress shows what can be done.
Could military action help solve Europe's Mediterranean refugee crisis?
What are countries outside the EU doing to help Syrian refugees?

Although the mouth is part of our body, we tend to treat it as a separate entity, often ignoring bleeding, swollen or tender gums and tooth pain until we can no longer stand it. Never mind that for most parents, taking their children to the dentist isn't a fun outing. To coincide with National Oral Health Month in April, ParentsCanada asked Dr. Sarah Hulland, a pediatric dentist in Calgary and spokesperson for the Canadian Dental Association, to answer the following questions about kids and their teeth.
Why does my daughter resist brushing her teeth, even lie about it? Why do kids hate it so much?
A/ Children like to be in control of things.
When can my child start brushing his teeth by himself?
My son has good oral hygiene and still gets cavities. Why?
A/ There are about 150 variables involved in maintaining proper oral health. There are genetic considerations, such as the quality and quantity of mineralization of the teeth. Then there's the consistency and quantity of the saliva we produce (some people have stickier saliva, with less buffering capacity).
There are also "environmental" issues, such as how often we eat (the more meals and snacks we consume, the more likely we are to have cavities); how long it takes us to eat (slower chewers have "fermentable carbohydrates" such as sugars and starches in their mouths for longer periods of time, increasing cavity risk), the types of foods being eaten (junk food versus fruits and veggies and sugary juices and pop versus water). Believe it or not, there are also psychological issues: stressed people tend to produce more acidic saliva and are more likely to eat more fermentable carbohydrates such as candy.
My daughter has white stains on her teeth. What are they?
A/ Many things can cause spots on teeth. One common reason is associated with a history of trauma to the primary teeth, which results in a freckle-like spot on the permanent teeth. Some spots are actually "demineralization lesions" associated with poor hygiene habits, which can develop into cavities. Ask your child's dentist to examine the spots. That exam, along with a review of overall oral health history, will help provide an accurate explanation of why the spots are there and what, if anything, can be done.
A trip to the dentist really scares my son. What can I do to ease his fears?
I'm on a limited budget with no benefits. How often does my daughter really need to see the dentist?
How often do children need to have dental X-rays?
What are dental sealants? I survived without them.
A/ For many children, sealants are a wonderful preventive service that will help them reduce the risk of cavities on the biting surfaces of their teeth. A sealant is a plastic material applied to the chewing surface of the molars to prevent food from getting trapped or acid from forming cavities. Sealants don't reduce the risk of cavities between the teeth, though, so flossing is still important. "Not all teeth benefit from sealants if the groove anatomy on the biting surface of the teeth is very shallow," says Dr. Hulland.
A/ "It depends on the nature of the crookedness of the teeth and the irregularity of the bite," says Dr. Hulland. "People with excessive or insufficient growth of their jawbones often need braces to allow for proper biting and chewing." Talk to your child's dentist or an orthodontist to help clarify whether braces will improve function or simply improve the look of the teeth.
Are teeth whiteners safe for children?
A/ "Whiteners haven't been clinically tested for children younger than 12, so I wouldn't recommend them," says Dr. Hulland. That's because when teeth are still young, the nerve system inside the tooth is wider, making the tooth more sensitive to temperature and chemicals such as whitening agents.
How do I find out if my dentist is legit?
A/ You can call your provincial dental organization (PDO). The PDO will be able to tell you whether your dentist is a licensed member of their organization, and only those members who meet their accreditation criteria will be listed there. Word of mouth is another valuable tool, so ask friends or neighbours who like their dentist for referrals.

Born at Erskine Place in Alloa on 18 December 1887, Alister McNab Wishart was the fourth of six children of Robert, a commercial clerk, and his wife, Margaret McNab.
By 1901 the family had moved to Aberdeen where in June 1910, Alister joined the postal service as a postman. Two years later on 14 June 1912, he married Helen Barron, with a daughter named Helen being born during the following October.
Alister served with the Royal Engineers during The Great War; however, no further details as to his military service have survived. He worked for the postal service for the rest of his life and had risen to the position of head postman at the time he died suddenly of a heart attack on 22 June 1943. He had been living in Aberdeen at Pitstruan Place and was 55 years old.

Commercial Rowing Club is a sports club located in Dublin, affiliated with Rowing Ireland. Commercial Rowing Club facilitates competitive rowing for Juniors (under 18 years of age)and Adults (including Novices, Intermediates, Seniors and Veterans). The Club is open to male and female athletes. The club colours are Myrtle Green, White & Azure Blue.

The Commercial Rowing Club Boathouse is located at Islandbridge, where the calm protected waters of the upper Liffey enable rowing year-round. Commercial also has access to the shared boathouse on Blessington Lake in Wicklow.

History
Commercial Rowing Club was founded in Ringsend in 1856. It is the second oldest rowing club in Ireland. The name dates an era when all non-university clubs were designated 'commercial'.  The original membership was drawn from the Commercial heart of Dublin, tailors, bankers and other shopkeepers of Henry Street and Grafton Street and the boat house was originally located in Ringsend.
To avoid the inconvenience and dangers of the Tides and the port traffic, Commercial moved upstream from Ringsend to the peaceful waters of Islandbridge in 1942 to take over the premises of Dublin Rowing Club, which had become insolvent.

In the sixties recruitment was predominantly among young working men who rowed mainly in Novice grades. With the boathouse locked up for the 1969 season the club decided to go in an entirely different direction and bring in juniors in Big Numbers in the seventies. Oarswomen had to be secretly introduced and trained to a standard where they would win at their first regatta. The site of a Commercial "ladies" crew in front on the winning straight was too much for even the most hardened misogynist and the girls were finally accepted in the club.  In no time at all the membership went from 3 to 50 or 60 of all ages and both sexes.

Fleet
In 2015, Commercial Boathouse contained the following fleet of boats for members' use: -
46 single sculls
6 double sculls
4 pairs
3 coxless quads
5 coxed quads
2 coxed fours
8 eights
21 Concept II ergometers

Achievements

The development of Commercial coincided with a new policy of the IARU to encourage small boat rowing. By the year 2000, Commercial Rowing Club had won nearly 100 Irish National Championship medals.  This placed the club in second place in Ireland.

At the 1991 World Rowing Championships in Vienna, a sculler from Commercial RC named Niall O'Toole won a Gold Medal in the Men's Lightweight Single Scull, breaking the world record in a time of 6m:49.49s in the process.  This was Ireland's first Gold medal in any Rowing World Championship event. O'Toole went on to compete in three Olympic Games.  In 1991 and 1994, O'Toole was presented with the Texaco All Star award. The 1990s brought in a total of five World Championship medals and several u/23 medals.

Regattas
Commercial Rowing Club has been strongly represented on the organizing committee for the Dublin Metropolitan Regatta (aka "Metro") since 1869.
Outside of Metro, Commercial also regularly hosts its own regatta and, by 2008, Commercial had hosted its 26th regatta. Initially the regatta was for women's events only, but men's events were added in 1986.

Portuguese Retailers Adopt Measures to Reduce Plastic Use
Auchan Retail to replace all single-use plastic stock – including straws, disposable cutlery, and plastic plates – with biodegradable alternatives
Continente, meanwhile, declare annual plastic savings amounting to 4,200 tonnes
Measures come with Portugal's ban on single-use plastics by 2020, outpacing EU laws against disposable plastics
Large retailers across Portugal have recently revealed measures to reduce the sale and use of single-use plastics – in line with the country's aim to curb the use of a range of plastic products by 2020.
Continente, for example, part of the Portuguese multinational, Sonae MC, has announced annual plastic savings of 4,200 tonnes, almost double the company's annual figure from 2019.
Involving suppliers in their Strategy for the Responsible Use of Plastics, Continente are adopting new measures to package their produce – including removing bananas from plastic wrapping and introducing a recyclable bakery bag.
Together, these two measures are expected to save over 100 tonnes of plastic per year.
Alternatives to Single-Use Plastics
The Portuguese retailer is also aiming to eliminate, where possible, the use of "virgin" plastic materials by 2025 and to replace them with recyclable, compostable, or reusable packaging. The EU's own goal is to achieve this by 2030.
Auchan Retail, meanwhile, have announced plans to stop sale of disposable plastic items including straws, cutlery, bowls, glasses, and plates. All are to be replaced by biodegradable and reusable alternatives.
The new line of biodegradable products will be made with sustainable cardboard and biodegradable plastic. 90% of the production will be in Europe, with the aim of minimising its carbon footprint.
These actions from retailers come as a response to the measures passed by the Portuguese government, in April of last year, outlawing disposable plastic packaging of fruit, vegetables, and bread. According to reports, the ban will be effective from June 2020.
Portugal has been recognised as being ahead of the pack, among European countries, in terms of its action on disposable plastics.
Even before the EU committed to a 2021 ban on single-use plastics, Portugal had introduced legislation prohibiting state departments from using plastic bags, plates, or bottles. The same 2018 bill sought to reduce state paper consumption by a quarter too.

Scottish singer Susan Boyle became a household name after stunning judges on Britain's Got Talent in 2009. Boyle's magical mezzo-soprano voice, contrasted with her unassuming stage presence quickly led to a throng of international media attention. Boyle followed the huge success of her debut album with a collection of carols and Christmas themed music. The album was so long awaited that it topped Amazon's pre-order list within its first twenty-four hours.
Susan Boyle combines traditional carols like The First Noel and Away in a Manger with some rather unexpected tracks. Leonard Coen's Hallelujah makes an appearance, as does the Crowded House classic Don't Dream its Over. Boyle and her choir give these two iconic songs a slow, classical treatment, which works well with the rest of the album, but may have fans of the original tracks turning their noses up. Boyle seems much more at home performing traditional Christmas classics; her rendition of O Holy Night is dreamy, and the Christian hymn Make me a Channel of Your Peace is magical. To promote the release of the album, Boyle ran a competition, giving her fans the chance to perform a duet with her. The winner, Amber Stassi, is featured on the track Do You Hear What I Hear? and manages to hold her own against Boyle and her choir. Whilst The Gift received mixed critical reviews, Boyle's fans were not disappointed, with the album going either gold or platinum across seven countries.

WORSENING DROUGHT, UPPER DISTRICT ACTIVATES LEVEL 2 OF ITS WATER SUPPLY CONTINGENCY PLAN
Monrovia, CA — The Board of Directors of the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District (Upper District) unanimously approved a resolution activating Level 2 of its Water Shortage Contingency Plan.

UPPER DISTRICT DIRECTORS ANTHONY FELLOW AND JENNIFER SANTANA TO HOST "FIRESCAPING THE FOOTHILLS" ONLINE TOWNHALL
California's dry climate and rising temperatures continue to threaten our local hillsides with the likelihood of more wildfires. Historically, the 10 most costly wildfires in U.S. history have all occurred in California — the top two in the last three years. In the San Gabriel Valley, the Bobcat and Ranch2 fires burned thousands of acres of the San Gabriel River Watershed and affected residents along the foothill cities. Since then, it has become a priority of the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District (Upper District) to provide pertinent information and resources on how residents can safeguard their homes using the latest "firescaping" methods.
Upper District Directors Anthony Fellow and Jennifer Santana are taking the lead by hosting a "Firescaping the Foothills" townhall for residents living in Arcadia, Azusa, Bradbury, Duarte and Monrovia. Upper District is also pleased to announce that California American Water and the cities of Arcadia, and Monrovia are providing assistance in hosting this townhall. The virtual townhall will include a current update on the water supply conditions of the San Gabriel Valley and California at large as well as a presentation on how residents can protect their property from wildfires.

COVID-19: WATER-RELATED INFORMATION
The novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, does not impact the quality and supply of your local tap water. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID-19 is transmitted person to person, not through water. Your water is both safe and available by turning on the tap. There is no need to stockpile water bottles, for fear of restricted water supplies. Emergency preparedness encourages a 2-week supply in the case of a major disruption in water sources; however, in this situation emergency water supplies are not a concern.
