Advocates: State Responsible for Polluting Adirondack Wells
Lake George Waterkeeper Chris Navitsky has called road salt "the acid rain of our time."
Now, a newly-completed study of Adirondack wells claims that most wells that receive runoff from state roads are contaminated with salt.
The study conducted by the Paul Smith's College Adirondack Watershed Institute comes on the heels of an earlier study that argued that 84% of the contamination of surface waters by road salting could be attributed to state practices.
The study sampled nearly 400 private wells from across the Adirondack Park. The wells were divided into categories based on whether they received no road runoff, local road runoff, or state road runoff. Sodium levels in more than half of the wells receiving state road runoff exceeded New York State's water quality guideline of 20 ppm (compared to 10% of wells that receive local road runoff). Chloride levels in 25% of wells that receive state road runoff exceeded the water quality guideline of 250 ppm, while none of the wells that receive local road runoff exceeded that level.
New York State's Department of Transportation relies mainly on pure road salt (sodium chloride) for winter road maintenance, using more than any other state. Local crews mainly use abrasives, like sand, with a smaller amount of salt to keep the sand from clumping.
In a statement sent to the press, well study participant Kirk Peterson said "The contamination of our well with road salt has cost us thousands of dollars in ruined appliances and corroded pipes. We can't operate a dishwasher and have to replace faucets and other plumbing fixtures regularly because of corrosion caused by the salt. We've also had to replace most of our copper pipes and have been buying water to drink because of the adverse impact on our health. And now we worry about being unable to sell our house. We will hold the state fully responsible for these problems."
Scientists, local officials, community organizations, and citizen activists has been pressuring the state for change to their salt practices for years. It's believed that the NYS Department of Transportation (DOT) maintains about 25% of the Adirondack road network.
DOT recently began two pilot programs in the Adirondacks to reduce the application of road salt, at Mirror Lake and Lake George. The Mirror Lake project include 16-miles along State Route 86 from Old Military Road through North Elba and Wilmington and the Village of Lake Placid. The pilot program at Lake George spans about 17 miles of Route 9N from the Village to the Town of Bolton.
In addition, DOT, DEC and the Department of Health have established a working group, which includes participating municipalities, and organizations such as AdkAction and the Lake George Waterkeeper, to evaluate the effectiveness of the pilot programs.
Brittany Christensen, Executive Director of AdkAction, a non-profit that has been advocating for a reduction in the use of road salt since 2010, wants the state to move faster.
"While we appreciate being invited to participate in the strategic working group and acknowledge that the pilots in Lake George and Lake Placid are a step in the right direction, we must insist that the state take a stronger stance to protect Adirondack waters," a statement issued by Christensen said.
"Based on the study, more than half of private wells located along state roads are likely contaminated with road salt, and we want the state to reexamine its entire winter road maintenance protocol and use the entire Adirondack Park as a pilot area for statewide reduction."
The salt study was funded by AdkAction, The FUND for Lake George, and Paul Smiths College Adirondack Watershed Institute.

"…a newly-completed study of Adirondack wells claims that most wells that receive runoff from state roads are contaminated with salt."
This comes as no surprise. I saw a fairly new pickup truck at George's Collision last week that had its whole body underneath eaten away due to salt in the roads. My truck is eaten away. The state ought to pay for this since they allow it. They are way overkill with road salt every winter thanks in part probably due to insurance related matters.If there's a threat of even a dusting of snow the trucks are out spreading salt, especially in the private lots such as Walmart, etc. If salt can erode metal imagine what it can do to the roots of trees, or plant life in general, or water….or wells! It's a shame the way we're going. Way too ahead of ourselves with no clear vision for the future unless that future is tied to the earning of profits!
Gbear says:
Funny, everything you mentioned, from vehicle repair to civil servants spreading the dreaded salt, relies on profit.
A coincidence maybe hey Gbear?
Todd Eastman says:
Who are the primary suppliers of road salt to NYS?
Follow the $$$…
Probably Cargill. NYS has some pretty large salt mines. Two near Cayuga and Seneca Lake. One of the largest in the world is in Ontario so maybe that is where the northern NY salt comes from. Slapping some tariffs on there could drive the business down to the finger lakes?
Justin Farrell says:
And yet, many trailheads in the Adirondacks still don't even get plowed out for skiers & snowshoers during the winter months…
So it looks like one of the reduced salt use areas is "the notch". That could get interesting next winter. I guess if you can reduce it there w/o too much trouble you could do it anywhere. Have to see how many ski buses end up on their sides!
What kind of wells are these? If they are open to surface run off you shouldn't be drinking the water anyway?
Judson Witham says:
The VAST Brown Fields leaching into Lake George and tributaries to Champlain and many other Pollution Sources goes way way way BEYOND Road Salt. The more serious issue however is Radiological Rocks and Wells contaminated with Radiation in the area. The USGS and DOD did Radiation studies on Adirondacks Rock decades ago. I would suggest SALT is but a fraction of the problem with wells in the area. See https://theadirondacksconspiracy.wordpress.com/yearly-flushing-of-lake-george-ny/ The Lakes Issues is HUGE.

Boreas says:
Salt usage patterns can be changed – perhaps improving well water quality. Gonna be hard to deal with radiation, if indeed it is a problem.
Well if the facts are at "the adirondack conspiracy" they must be accurate! That is a classic. You gotta love the internet. This is a great example of how a bogus piece of information gets spread around.
Well, he ain't wrong – there is radiation here. But there is radiation virtually everywhere. The question is what type, how much, and – most importantly – what is considered "safe"? It only takes one particle to mess up a DNA strand, but we have the ability to repair DNA to some extent. So cumulative dosages are critical to assess and then to apply to some arbitrary standard of safety. Salt is simpler to study, but evidently no less controversial to some.
People these days only read the headlines, the details don't matter to the vast majority of the population. Most people will probably read the first sentence of your comment and the conspiracy grows! People used to trust experts but now everyone is an expert and is capable of reaching millions and billions of others. I studied DNA repair in graduate school so I am pretty well versed there.
Kenneth Seymour says:
Is this the same way that you make hard water soft or is that a different Sodium?
Same stuff. Typical road salt is mostly sodium chloride (NaCl). Same with softener salt. When salt is put in water, it (dissolves) dissociates into two ions called sodium and chloride. Water softeners don't simply mix salt and water per se. Rather, these ions get spread over a medium (tiny glass or resin beads) and react with undesirable ions in the water and hold them in the media, which is back-flushed on regular intervals to remove them and start the process over again. It isn't like the salt is going directly into the water – you wouldn't be able to drink it at high concentrations.
Most animals require a certain amount of salt (for blood electrolytes, etc.) in their diet, but the requirement is different for each organism. The ability to filter out excess amounts of dietary salt also vary by organism. As one example, in humans, excess sodium (Na) is associated with elevated blood pressure – so if it is in high concentrations in drinking water, it could cause health problems.

Hi there, I would like to figure a way by which to extract text from a sub element (placeName) and put it back into the larger body of text. I have similar issues elsewhere in the XML file, such as for names of people. I would like to be able to extract names and places without getting rid of milestones. Thank you for your help!
Current code:
for p in chapter.findall('p'):
    i = 1
    for text in p.itertext():
        file.write(body.attrib["n"] + " " + chapter.attrib["n"] + ":" +  str(i) + text)
        i = i + 1

A: It can be done with beautifulsoup and the unwrap() method:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs

snippet = """your html above"""

soup = bs(snippet,'lxml')
pl = soup.find_all('placename')
for p in pl:
    p.unwrap()
soup

Output:

Like railways run by the Odakyu and Tokyu conglomerates, the Keio Line is operated by the Keio Group, which runs the Keio Department Store and numerous other businesses. The Keio Line runs for 38 kilometers westward from Shinjuku Station to Keio-Hachioji Station in Hachioji City. It's located on the west side of JR Shinjuku Station.
While the Keio Line is a heavily used commuter service, with over 1 million passengers a day, it has a few sightseeing attractions, notably Mt. Takao.
The main attraction at Chofu is Jindaiji temple, one of the oldest Buddhist sanctuaries in the Kanto region – it was established in the 8th century. Its thatch-roofed gate dates to 1695 and is a rare architectural gem. The approach to the temple features traditional soba noodle restaurants and tea shops that evoke the atmosphere of centuries past; one tea house is dedicated to Shigeru Mizuki's "GeGeGe no Kitaro" manga series. Nearby Jindai Botanical park has an impressive collection of nearly 5,000 species of plants including spectacular rose bushes.
Situated in the western foothills of Tokyo, Mt. Takao offers beautiful mountain scenery in an easy day trip from Shinjuku. At 599 meters, it can be climbed in about 90 minutes – a chair lift and cable car are also available, though they don't go all the way to the summit. Attractions include fall foliage, views of Mt. Fuji on clear days, a Buddhist temple, a Shinto shrine and a monkey park.
After the climb, you can relax in a newly opened onsen hot-spring bath located adjacent to Takaosanguchi Station. If possible, avoid the crowds at Mt. Takao on weekends and national holidays.
From Shinjuku Station, several semi-express trains per hour run all the way to Takaosanguchi Station; otherwise a transfer is required at Kitano Station.

Limestone Branch – Craft Distilling, Sugar Shine and Experimentation.
I've been to the truly big distilleries where operations are much more akin to a "factory" than what many of us envision when we hear "distillery." Some control rooms make these factory operations seem like NASA instead of what the homespun legends would have us believe. Those distilleries are still fascinating, they can make some outstanding Bourbon, and I'll be visiting all of them again, but thankfully we can also see small-scale (and micro-scale) distilling that is a more accurate depiction of Kentucky's early frontier distillers.
One of those micro-distillery options is Limestone Branch Distillery in Lebanon, Kentucky. Limestone Branch, along with eight other craft distilleries, is part of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour, which I highly recommend.
A couple of these craft distilleries have as much history as the big distilleries, and one unique fact about Limestone Branch is that it was founded by a Beam. It's no secret that the Beam family has played integral roles in many distilleries other than Jim Beam, including Heaven Hill, Maker's Mark, Barton and a bevy of historical brands. A Beam even helped Mary Dowling move Waterfill & Frazier to Juarez, Mexico during Prohibition. So it should come as no surprise that yet another Beam – Steve Beam – is at the helm of Limestone Branch.
Remarkably, Steve Beam gets his Bourbon heritage from both sides of his family. Steve's great-great grandfather on his mother's side of the family was J.W. Dant, who began distilling whiskey in 1836. The distillery was then operated by Steve's great grandfather, W.W. Dant and his brother, J.P. Dant, and Bourbon fans will recognize the Dant name.
On the Beam side, Steve's great-grandfather is Minor Case Beam, the great-grandson of Jacob Boehm (who is said to have arrived in Kentucky through the Cumberland Gap with a pot still, and then changed his surname to "Beam"), and the cousin of James Beam. Minor Case Beam had three distilleries, and his direct descendants continued to produce Bourbon including Old Trump, Pride of Nelson and Richwood.
The operations at Limestone Branch are more on scale with Kentucky's earliest distillers. By my estimation, the entire contents of the distillation room – the still, tanks, barrels, equipment, grain, cabinets, tables, everything – could fit into just one of the 10,000 gallon mash tubs at Jim Beam. And like the early distillers, Limestone Branch starts with locally-grown heirloom corn and a 150-gallon copper pot still. Using a mash bill that I couldn't convince Steve to tell me, Limestone Branch barreled its first Bourbon distillate 2 ½ years ago. With just a single barrel at that age, Steve understandably couldn't spare a sample for an inquisitive blogger like me.
This incredibly small scale can't produce much distillate, and there's no substitute for the time it takes Bourbon to age, so Limestone Branch's primary craft product now is Moonshine. Limestone Branch's Moonshine – "Sugar Shine" – is distilled with 50% corn and 50% cane sugar, and then proofed and flavored. With all due respect to the magic taking place at Flavorman, that's not how Limestone Branch does it. For instance, the Blackberry Sugar Shine is made with real blackberries, and the Apple Pie Sugar Shine is made with high-quality apple juice. I bought the Blackberry Sugar Shine and mixed it at home with lemonade and fresh mint leaves on ice for a refreshing close to a hot afternoon.
The small scale and craft mentality at Limestone Branch also fosters experimentation. So many factors go into the profile of Bourbon – grain sources and percentages in the mash bill, water source, yeast strain, proof at barreling, char level, aging location and conditions – just to name a few. Lisa Wicker, who is in charge of fermentation and production at Limestone Branch, showed me yet another factor: barley. I tasted barley at Limestone Branch that could result in some incredible flavor profiles down the road. I never appreciated how different barley could taste, or how it can impart flavors of cherry, chocolate or caramel to distillate, and eventually to Bourbon.
With experimentation like this, look for big things from Limestone Branch in the years to come. In the meantime, I'll continue to go a little off the beaten path, and visit Limestone Branch again.

in: Pages with reference errors, MUSH
TinyTIM
TinyTIM is a MUSH created in 1990 by Sketch (Jason Scott Sadofsky) and Trout.Complex. It is the oldest running MUSH in existence, having held that status at least since 1995.[1]
2 Unique aspects
3 Press and news mentions
TinyTIM's exact date of creation is unknown, but is observed by the staff and official history as March 18, 1990 (it is unlikely to be more than a week away from this date).
Based on the TinyMUD program, TinyTIM was created as a parody of other MUDs that were currently running, including TinyHELL and Islandia. While the original intent of the name was simply to parody the "Tiny-" prefix of the currently running TinyMUD games, it was later declared that this was both a combination of the singer "Tiny Tim" and "Tim the Enchanter" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The TinyMUD software required that object #1 be a "God" character, and this character was fashioned into a form of Tim the Enchanter, sealing the association.
It was installed on a machine owned by the GNU foundation (gnu.ai.mit.edu), using an account owned by Richard Stallman. At the time, Stallman's account had the same password as its username: "rms". TinyTIM's initial period of existence was one of constant deletions, as other users on the gnu.ai.mit.edu system would kill the process and remove the database of the MUD.
In July, 1990, TinyTIM was moved from the gnu.ai.mit.edu machine to a system hosted at the Supercollider in Texas.
In August, TinyTIM switched to the TinyMUSH 1.0 codebase, and was one of the first MUSHes. TinyTIM has diverged from nearly every other MUSH due to heavy modifications made around that time. Template:As of, TinyTIM is still in operation.
Unique aspects[]
From the time that TinyTIM switched to MUSH-based code, the maintaining of the codebase was taken over by the Wizard/Administrator R'nice, who kept the program closed-source and made incremental and large-scale improvements to it for the next decade and beyond. Along the way, with suggestions from users of TinyTIM and his own research, R'nice created the first "@doing" command on a game, as well as indirect locks, regular expressions as locks, and a host of new flags and features.
TinyTIM rewrote its Help system from scratch, portions of which were used (with permission) in documentation for other code branches.
TinyTIM's co-founding wizard, Trout.Complex, has been a wizard on the same game for over 15 years without a break or sabbatical.
Press and news mentions[]
On June 2, 1994, the NCSA "What's New" page, the main news site for the announcement of new websites, mentioned the TinyTIM homepage at www.tim.org. This drove tens of thousands of users both to the website and ultimately to the TinyTIM game, which was overwhelmed for over a month. The blurb read:
"TinyTIM is now on the WWW! What's TinyTIM? In their own words, "Well, TinyTIM is the world's oldest running MUSH (Multi-User Shared Hallucination). We have 10,000 rooms, thousands of players, an affinity for poptarts and a clock that eats V'ger for breakfast. Since TinyTIM and the world of MUSHes is so funky anyway, the Wizards of TIM decided to add a WWW page to our machine. It has documentation, sounds, graphics, info on the game, and at least a couple pictures of cows. Plus, a mere click on an icon, and you're connected to TinyTIM itself! TinyTIM, by the way, requires no registration and has unlimited building for you experiment with. Come on in, join the fun, and remember: It's not just a game.... It's a really, really BIG game!"
TinyTIM was also mentioned in Wired in their Net Surf section.[2]
Sketch was interviewed by Barry Shell for Adbusters magazine in an article called "Cyber-Encounters of the First Kind", which appeared in 1993. The article was subsequently reprinted in December 1996 online.[3]

A: You've forgotten a couple of things that take up additional space - the gap the system puts in between inline-block elements and the fact that you've put a border on inner and set box-sizing to border-box.
Remove the border and set the font-size to zero and the elements will fit side by side.

While I understand the gap part, I do not fully understand the border part as you had allowed for 2 x 1px by setting the width of each div to 249px. Is there some rounding error going on? I do often see a spurious gap of a part CSS pixel (but 1 screen pixel) between background color and border (changes with zoom) which indicates some mismatch when the system is trying to do the mapping between the several screen pixels which make up one CSS pixel on modern screens. Hopefully someone can confirm this or provide another explanation.

Possible Nova in Scorpius
CBET circular No. 2262, issued on April 26, 2010, announces the discovery by K. Nishiyama & F. Kabashima (Japan) of another possible nova (mag 8.6) on two 40-s unfiltered CCD frames (limiting magnitude 13.1) taken around Apr. 25.788 UT using a 105-mm f/4 camera lens (+ SBIG STL6303E camera). The same CBET reports indipendent discovery by H. Nishimura & T. Kojima.
We performed some follow-up of this object remotely through a 0.25-m, f/3,4 reflector + CCD, from GRAS Observatory (near Mayhill, NM).
On our images taken on April 26.4, 2010 we can confirm the presence of an optical counterpart with unfiltered CCD magnitude about 8.2 (UCAC2 Catalogue reference stars) at coordinates:
R.A. = 16 55 13.17, Decl.= -38 03 47.8
(equinox 2000.0; UCAC2 catalogue reference stars).

New Comet: P/2010 H2
CBET circular No. 2249, issued on 2010, April 17, announces the discovery by J. Vales of an unusually bright (magnitude 12.6) asteroidal object on Apr. 16, 2010, observing with the 0.60-m f/3.3 Deltagraph at Crni Vrh (mpc code 106), Slovenia. R. A. Kowalski of Catalina Sky Survey (CSS), reports that the object is not visible in images down to magnitude V=20 obtained by the CSS Survey as recently as April 15.4 UT.
After posting on the Minor Planet Center's NEOCP webpage, W. Ryan (H01) and E. Guido & G. Sostero (H06) have commented that the new object has an FWHM consistently wider (about 10%) than nearby field stars of similar brightness, confirming the cometary nature of this object designated P/2010 H2.
We have been able to confirm this object remotely, through the GRAS network, using a scope located in Mayhill (NM): Analysis of the stacking of 6 ulfiltered exposures, 120-seconds each,obtained remotely on 2010 Apr. 16.42 show that this object has an FWHM consistently wider than the nearby field stars of similar brightness. An additional stacking,of 6 unfiltered exposures, 30-sec each, obtained through the same instrumentation on 2010 Apr. 16.43, confirm this evidence. In our opinion, its appearance strictly resembles that of comet 17P/Holmes in the early phases of its October 2007 outburst phase.
Our confirming image:
The still-very-preliminary elliptical orbit shows perihelion on May 21, 2010, at about 3.07 AU.
Follow-up observations are strongly encouraged. It is expected that an expanding coma will develop over the next days and weeks.

Today in London rebel history: John Rety, poet, anarchist, publisher, chessplayer, dies, 2010
Posted on February 3, 2018 by mudlark121
On February 3rd 2010, anarchist, poet and publisher John Rety died, aged 79.
Born Reti Janos to a Jewish family in Budapest in 1930, his political views were shaped by his childhood experiences. His grandmother escaped a pogrom in Serbia by swimming across a river with her children strapped to her back, while following the outbreak of war, John's family knew life as Jewish people was going to become extremely tough.
His father Istvan, a theatre director, was interned on an island in the Danube, which also held sporting events and John, aged 12, snuck onto the island on the pretext of watching a football match. Instead, he spoke to his father through camp fences, and persuaded him to escape. Istvan did get out: he and his wife Ilona spent the war in hiding. In the last years of the war as a young teenager John ran errands, taking packages around, later saying that he assumed it was for the anti-nazi resistance!
John's grandmother had been looking after him during the war years, but she was later imprisoned. On the day the war ended, she approached a guard and said he could now put down his rifle and take off the fascist armband he was wearing. In response the guard murdered her.
Aged 16, John wrote a play about war and how adults had a lot to answer for – a theme John spoke about in the last year of his life, in a radio interview, saying: "War is devastating, first and foremost, for children. They do not understand why their parents have gone berserk."
The play was performed on the steps of the Budapest parliament – a dangerous thing to do. He fled Hungary, apparently just a step ahead of the authorities. He arrived in London in 1946 and got a job as an apprentice for a publishing house.
He published a novel aged 21, called Super Sozzled Nights, and hung out in Soho, then teeming with a bohemian culture that sparked many creative and radical projects.
It led him into the magazine trade, and he founded the Soho underground paper, Intimate Review, with contributions from young writers including Doris Lessing, Bill Hopkins, Laura del Rivo, Frank Norman, Alan Owen, Cressida Lindsay & Bernard Kops. Réty was the first to publish Colin Wilson. The Intimate Review largely circulated among the customers of the coffee houses that were appearing in Soho. It was a parish magazine, a gossip sheet for a bohemian, literary in-crowd that attracted contributions from many coming names. John would hawk copies on weekend evenings to cinema queues.
The former Guardian journalist Harold Jackson, co-editor of the Intimate Review, recalled Rety's astounding ability to persuade eminent people to contribute to the magazine for free. "Our covers," he said, "were regularly produced at very short notice and for no money by Feliks Topolski. Ralph Steadman's work appeared from time to time."
When Intimate Review was forced to fold due to a threatened libel action, Rety started other papers – including the Cheshire Cat and Fortnightly. Then, as Private Eye began to take over his readership, he took the editorial chair of the anarchist paper Freedom for a couple of years.
John met his partner Susan Johns in 1958. They moved into Robert Street, Regent's Park and scraped a living by putting on a jazz night at a Soho basement bar, and then ran a second-hand furniture store in Camden High Street, Here, I think John met local squatters and got involved with supporting squatting around Camden and Chalk Farm. Resistance to the powerful property magnate Joe Levy in Camden Town ended in his own family's eviction and loss of home and livelihood.
John was a member of the radical anti-nuclear group the Committee of 100, and his politics were anarchist – although he said it was his own form of anarchism, as he found tracts on anarchist theory so badly written he could not make head nor tail of what they were going on about. He had a low opinion of the anarchist classics "with the exception of Kropotkin, who could write, and Malatesta, who could argue…. Bakunin, I could never understand what he was going on about."
In the Sixties, he took on the editorship of anarchist magazine Freedom. As a Freedom co-editor (1964-1969), John radically broadened the political and cultural reach of the paper.
Anarchist poet Jeff Cloves recalls one incident: "In the late '60s, I chanced to hear the Duke Ellington Band play on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral (with singer Dakota Staton) as a tribute to Martin Luther King. I was delighted that Freedom published a piece I wrote about this free spontaneous event, and utterly dumbfounded when the next time I met John he launched a fierce attack on me for endorsing the 'cult of personality' [surrounding Martin Luther King Jr]."
Fellow anarchist poet Dennis Gould remembers: "John'd be chatting away and then he'd confront you with a question, a challenge. Which I could never answer!"
John was said to have been "one of the first to burst through the heavy police cordon surrounding Grosvenor Square at the anti-Vietnam War rally in front of the US Embassy in October 1968" and was among 13 protestors who soon after held a 13-day fast there… For may years he was a regular at Speakers Corner.
At the end of the 1970s, John worked for the Student Community Housing (SCH) as a roofer. This was cut short when he fell and fractured his arm. The accident prompted him to enrol in a City and Guilds art course.
Camden Council offered a semi-derelict building at 99 Torriano Avenue, Kentish Town, to the SCH; the keys were handed over to the place that so many people associate with John. It was in too poor a state of repair for the SCH to take on there was no gas or electricity, but John and Susan liked it and moved in. They founded the Torriano Meeting House, and began to put on events, notably poetry readings.
It is impossible to articulate the depth and range of events that have been held at the Meeting House, and the causes that have found a hospitable base there.
The readings were an astonishing success, drawing in poets and public from all over the country. Many paid tribute to him in a festschrift, Torriano Nights (2009). Stephen Spender & Adrian Mitchell were among the hundreds of poets who performed there.
The most important of these were the Sunday evening poetry readings which began with aspiring versifiers spouting their own work, often at considerable length. But Rety, who had a quick temper and a ready laugh, was a strict master of ceremonies.
When contributions from the floor were no good, he would shout out in his Mitteleuropean accent that the writers should read more good poetry if they wanted to avoid writing rubbish, and remind objectors that if Shakespeare walked in he would have to wait two hours for a hearing. After the interval an invited guest, who occasionally was Sir Stephen Spender, Dannie Abse or John Heath-Stubbs, would read and be heard with respect. The result, it was said, was an atmosphere resembling the start of an Aldermaston march and a tea party given by Brendan Behan's mother.
John's ability to charm support from unlikely sources never deserted him. Camden council contributed £10,000 a year to support the Torriano Meeting House. When, eventually, funding cuts forced them to withdraw the grant, the council offered Rety an Epic (Eminent Persons in Camden) award. Typically, he indignantly refused, regarding it as a bribe to stop him complaining about the loss of his grant.
In 1987, he founded the Hearing Eye Press, this time with financial assistance from the Arts Council of London. For the publication of his celebratory volume, In the Company of Poets: An Anthology Celebrating 21 Years of Poetry Readings at Torriano Meeting House (2003), he found support from the Arts Council of Great Britain. It is a collection starting with Dannie Abse and proceeding, via John Arden, through names including Oliver Bernard, John Heath-Stubbs and Dilys Wood. Rety's own work was modestly absent from the book. Hearing Eye Press ultimately published over 150 books.
This did not exhaust his amazing energy or his proselytising zeal for poetry. He became poetry editor of the Morning Star and edited an anthology of the work appearing there, Well Versed, with a foreword by Tony Benn. This was popular enough to go into a second edition. It is frequently asserted that the Morning Star saw a rise in its readership due to the verse Rety published there.
An originator of the idea of poetry on the London tube – although he did not sit on the panel that eventually implemented it – he later extended that idea to the telephone with a Dial-a-Poem service with British Telecom. At 25p a minute, the line received 750 calls in its first week of operation in 1988, and seemed on the route to success until Rety fell out with BT, "as so many do", he stated happily. He did not win his arguments over presentation, and a percentage for the poets, and the venture sputtered out.
When the land rights group The Land Is Ours occupied a derelict plot owned by Guinness in 1996, and turned it into an experiment in sustainable and cooperative living (calling it "Pure Genius"), John described the South London site as "anarchy in action", saying that, as a participant, he had "now seen anarchy in practice and, so far, it works." (Freedom, 18 May 1996)

Edouardo Jordan of Salare
by Jason Price | Jul 31, 2015
The Carnivore's Dilemma with Edouardo Jordan
Welcome back to The Carnivore's Dilemma, a column by Jason Price that features recommendations on how to prepare and where to eat meat from Seattle chefs that venture well beyond steak and burgers.
The relevance of the 'neighborhood restaurant' has seen a resurgence in Seattle over the past couple of years with mainstays such as Bar del Corso, Delancey and Pair seeing great success. The notion that people want to be able to walk to their local restaurant vs. drive is more European than American but it's a welcome one here in our fair city.
Chef Edouardo Jordan has continued with the burgeoning trend by opening Salare in Seattle's Ravenna neighborhood. And by doing so he's hoping to transform the area and local taste buds alike. He's a master of charcuterie and has a singular goal – to run a restaurant that neighbors and families nearby can call their own. Here's his story…
So tell me about your background and why you became a Chef
I grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida and I've been around food all my life. Whether it was Sunday suppers, at my grandma's house or around the holidays – my family always came together via food. I was always intrigued about what my grandma put into the cool, exciting dishes she made. I'm from the South and she made a lot of Southern influenced stuff. Things like chitlins, game meats, possum, raccoon and snapping turtles weren't uncommon on our dinner table. I was interested in seeing the process from catching a wild animal to harvesting it to putting it on the plate. It's in my blood and is exciting to me.
Did you go straight into culinary school?
I didn't think I was going to go into the restaurant industry and I earned dual degrees from the University of Florida in Sports management and Business Administration. I thought I was going to have a career in sports management or as an agent. But while I was in school I started a little blog (before the blog thing was popular) and was like this unknown restaurant critic.
During this time I realized that I was creating better food at home than some of the places I was going to. As I delved deeper into the food industry, I was cooking more at home throughout my college life and was impressing friends at different events and parties. So I decided to go to culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu in Orlando where I graduated with honors. I started seeking out the best restaurants around and got a job in Tampa at a place called Mise en Place. There I learned a bit about sausage making and worked the garde manger and pastry stations. I wanted to learn how to make really good sausage so I started dabbling in that and then making bacon – which is the 'gateway drug' for charcuterie.
What a pretty wild change of career choices. Where did you go from there?
I landed an apprenticeship at The French Laundry in Napa for 6 months where I floated a bit between stations but eventually embedded myself next to the butcher. He actually lives in Seattle now – Mark Bodinet at Cedarbrook Lodge. We were attached at the hip and had fun doing various things. There was always had a laundry list of things to do. Mark called me ''Fast Eddie" and I was his wingman helping with daily tasks. I was learning more about cured meats, making blood sausages and I was like 'whoa'.
From there I went to The Herbfarm in Woodinville and that's what jump started my education on the process of curing meat. I was working with Jerry (Traunfeld) and he left to open Poppy in Seattle. So I told Ron and Carrie (Zimmerman and Van Dyck – the owners) that I enjoyed curing meats and wanted to do it there. They approved so I started a program. They supported me in taking an educational seminar at Iowa State University which was a blessing and really good experience. I hand-built this cabinet that housed all the cured meats and was making coppa, lonzino, some hams and several salami.
Jordan's corzetti pasta
That sounds like an amazing opportunity from some very supportive people.
It definitely was. After a while I decided to head to New York and worked at Per Se and Lincoln Ristorante. They really had a set program there and I learned a quite bit. I had the opportunity to spend a month in Parma, Italy in this little town called Colorno with a family that were 9th generation salumists. They had literally been making salumi there for hundreds of years.
Wow. I bet a number of Chefs that would take that opportunity in a heartbeat.
It was an eye opening experience. I had the opportunity to work with masters and to see their techniques first-hand. Their whole process from start to finish was set to be a naturally cured product. They used no nitrates, no starter cultures; just using salt, wine, honey – it was pretty raw and everything occurred naturally in the environment.
When I came back to New York and started to work at Lincoln with Chef Benno I began dabbling again and making some simpler salumi like spalla cotto, coppa and lardo. From there, my wife and I wanted to leave NY and start a future and family together. So we moved here and I met up with Matt Dillon and landed a job at Sitka and Spruce. He gave us free rein to do what we wanted to do and I then went to Bar Sajor where he asked me to be Chef de Cuisine there. Then I could do everything I wanted to do again.

Tell me about the concept behind Salare
Well, going back to the family I worked with in Italy; they actually named this restaurant without knowing it. Salare means to salt or season. When I was there we were doing coppas and the butcher kept saying, "salare, salare!" I had no idea what he was talking about. So he showed me how to season the meat and to rub it more and more.
The symbols on the wall of the restaurant are from a corzetti stamp that they gave me. It influenced me in choosing the direction I wanted to go in. That said, I didn't want to have an Italian restaurant or a Southern restaurant or a French restaurant. I just wanted to be a really good 'American restaurant' which really represents a smorgasbord of everything.
I'm influenced by French and Italian and my Southern background but I didn't want to be 'the Italian place in Ravenna'. When I was growing up we didn't waste much because we didn't have much. Even from a deeper historical standpoint – they didn't have much and learned how to use off cuts and how to make a really good meal. My dad's side of the family was most influential from a food perspective. They brought a lot of that Southern history into our dining experience on a weekly basis. Dad would send me to the store to get headcheese and I hated it at the time. It was all mushy and you'd wipe it on a cracker or something. But the stuff I didn't like at that point in my life was what I really like now!
I love Italian preserving methods and their 'no waste' methodology. That style, the thoughtfulness about animals – I'm using that in my cuisine. That's what I want people to think about when they come here. I'm utilizing what is available. It hurts me personally to see a liver or a kidney go down the drain or in the trash. Sometimes chefs are scared that they don't know what to do with it or that their clientele won't like it. So they toss it vs. getting creative.

Why did you decide to open a 'neighborhood' restaurant and not something splashy downtown?
I wanted something that was neighborhood friendly and still on the high-end from a food standpoint but without being pretentious. I also wanted something neighbors could call home – their restaurant in a way. I wanted a flagship for the neighborhood and a place that my son could come in and run around where no one would be upset.
If you have kids you can bring them here – I'm here for families and wanted a place that wasn't so competitive and a bit different. It's kind of like my hastag – #bedifferent. This area is a challenge just like anywhere. But I wanted something that the neighborhood could enjoy and people would be proud of. It's all about the neighborhood support and if we do alright there will be many more places to come in to eat at.
What are some of your favorite cured meat preparations?
Coppa by far. I make tons of coppa because of the ease of it. I use various flavorings from straight salt and pepper, I love using Aleppo pepper, and smoked paprika. I also use cracked fennel. It's an easy starter cured meat.
I do 'big boy' pancettas – aged 12 months and rolled. I stay away from prosciutto just because of the size and time required. I do a lot of lardo – real simple with cracked black pepper and salt and aged from 6-12 months. I salt it just like pancetta for 5 days, then hang with salt and give it a brush after 6 months. I still get a pure white product.

Where do you get your pork?
From various local farms. One of the places I work with is Nature's Last Stand out in Carnation, WA. Matt introduced me to the farmer there and when we first went to visit he was wrangling these pigs on his own, 'Wildman-style'. We really wanted to support him and he was a small farmer trying to start a pig farm. So once he started using USDA-approved facilities for slaughter we did.
Do you use any nitrates in your cure?
I don't use any on whole muscle cures but I have used them in some salami that I've made.
The charcuterie platter at Salare
Outside of mainstream curing of pork – have you made much charcuterie from other animals?
I'm starting a goat this week and will be making salumi and doing a prosciutto out of the leg. I've definitely done lamb pancettas but I haven't dabbled much in venison as I don't have a great source for it. I'll cure anything and everything.
Beautiful boudin noir
What chefs have inspired you?
Definitely Thomas Keller. I went there for a reason. He's a very influential chef and his military style and precision can be seen in how he runs the kitchen. Also Chef Jonathan Benno – he was like a father outside of the kitchen. He loved you, was an awesome cook and he worked at the French Laundry and really understands the whole sense of urgency and has the same cooking style as I do. When he opened up Lincoln I went to follow him to continue learning.
My grandmother and mother were chefs in my eyes and they really taught me a lot. I'm not really a star chef chaser. I respect them but I want to do what I want to. I beat my own drum and the people that influence me are people I work with – not those I read about in a magazine.
Where do you like to go out to eat?
I really like Delancey for pizza. I'm a pretty simple guy when it comes down to eating . I'll do a burger at Red Mill. When I do go out it's generally pretty fancy. Maybe Mamnoon – I've been there more than any other place in the city.
It's a goat!
What's your guilty pleasure with food?
The burger. By far. I get my fix and the full food pyramid right there. Definitely the burger. I'm a fiend for the burger.
Who are the Top Chefs in Seattle?
Well, that depends on the definition of 'Top Chef'. Is it the kids cooking in the kitchen or the guys who have several restaurants already? I think the young up-and-comers are some of the top chefs in the city. They are in their day in and day out. You got Preston Miller at Bar Sajor putting in hours. Nick Coffey from Sitka and Spruce, Garrett Melkonian at Mamnoon, and Eli Dahlin at Damn the Weather. Those are the guys who will be the Top Chefs in the future.
There are the guys making a name for the scene that have been around for a while but the people making the next step up could be considered the top chefs. My good friend Chris Weber at The Herbfarm and you don't hear much about him because it's out in Woodinville.
The Salare Team
Final question – What's your go-to karaoke song?
Oh gosh. Being that I usually go to watch everyone else I don't really have one. But when I have done karaoke – the song is called "I Be Strokin'" – by Clarence Carter. It's more of a laughing funny song about this guy having sex with his girl. That would be it.

I did this image based on the "Yellow Wallpaper" reading. For my image, I chose to shoot at my house with my face coming out of it. I hate my house. It's old, smelly, and falling apart. As a result of me hating it, it is where I feel trapped and often depressed. It is the worst place for me to be when I'm feeling down. That's why I shot the image. I considered doing other things: first, I wanted to go the literal route and do something with yellow and a wall or curtain. I immediately dismissed that idea as boring. Then, I wanted to do something where I blended into the wall of one of the rooms in my house. I definitely don't have the Photoshop skills for that. So I kept it simple with the house. I'm happy with how it turned out--it's subtle.


This Grilled Watermelon Salad is absolutely bursting with flavour. Topped with Arugula, Pistachios, Blue Cheese and a Balsamic Glaze, after trying this recipe you won't grill watermelon any other way!
Is there anything that screams 'summer' more than a grilled watermelon? Those gorgeous grill marks on a mouthwatering slice of watermelon is almost too much to bare sometimes. Add a dollop of the most incredible arugula salad and you're on to something quite special.
Watermelon itself is not only the most delicious fruit in existence, but it's also incredible versatile.
It's only recently that I've been experimenting with watermelon in a savoury context and to be honest, I think I prefer it that way.
Don't get me wrong, watermelon in a fruit salad or even just by itself is heaven. But when you balance out that sweetness will a little salt, spice, sour or a combination of all, things get a little more heavenly.
This recipe celebrates the perfect balance of flavours and that's all down to our dear friend 'arugula salad'. Or 'rocket' as some of us know, whatever tickles your pickle.
You've got the gorgeous peppery arugula/rocket as the base with a punch of flavour from the blue cheese. A nice crunch from the pistachios (and I don't know about you but pistachios are my favourite nut everrrrrr) all wrapped in a silky olive oil/lemon juice dressing.
This combo will have you weak at the knees, promise. So simple and delish!
Okay so you've got the salad, and if you manage to not eat it all before hand, we need to top it on some grilled watermelon.
Grilled watermelon is pretty easy to make, but there a couple of tips and tricks to consider.
Slice a disk of watermelon around 3/4 – 1″ thick.
Use a cookie cutter/glass and push out 2 small disks.
Soak up some of the moisture with a paper towel, then lightly coat with olive oil.
Grill on high for a few minutes each side until dark grill marks appear.
The key is to make sure the watermelon isn't swamped in moisture throughout the process. Soaking up juice with a paper towel before you grill the watermelon will help, as will salting the watermelon after it's grilled. Salting beforehand will draw out moisture and prevent those gorgeous grill marks from forming.
And boy are those grill marks gorgeous!
So you've got your grilled watermelon, you've got your salad, just one more final piece of the puzzle.
This grilled watermelon recipe is perfect for a summer brunch or even a starter/appetizer! Quick and easy to make, minimal ingredients and SO darn delicious. You'd be crazy not to give this dish a go!
This Grilled Watermelon Salad is absolutely bursting with flavour. Topped with Arugula, Pistachios, Blue Cheese and a Balsamic Glaze, after trying this recipe you won't grill watermelon any other way!
In a bowl, combine your arugula/rocket, blue cheese, pistachios, lemon juice, olive oil and seasoning. Place to one side.
Using a cup/glass/cookie cutter, shape out 2 circles in the flesh of the watermelon. Pat with a with a paper towel to soak up extra moisture, then lightly brush both sides with oil.
Grill over high heat for a few minutes each side, or until black grill marks appear.
Sprinkle a little salt on top, then add your arugula salad and finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
a) Balsamic Glaze - Check out my foolproof Homemade Balsamic Glaze Recipe!
b) Seasoning - Go easy on the seasoning in the salad. Arugula/rocket is already quite peppery and you're also adding salt to the watermelon after it's grilled. Always better to add in more after than overpower it in the beginning!
c) Calories - Based on using 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.

Totally pinned this watermelon salad. It looks divine!
That looks fantastic. Great presentation. And love the combination of flavors and textures.
This looks amazing, and I love how simple it is too! That feta watermelon salad looks pretty fabulous as well!
Thanks so much! The feta watermelon salad is pretty delish too!!
We are big watermelon fans, but I don't think I have grilled it, actually. This looks so pretty, simple and elegant. I can imagine delicious too.

Scannig Tunneling Spectroscopy of a 2DES in magnetic field
Two dimensional electron systems (2DES) in magnetic field exhibit the quantum Hall effect. This effect means that the conductivity of the 2DES vanishes except at half filling. This intriguing property has been explained by the formation of drift states in each Landau level. In simple terms, these drift states are caused by electrons running in skipping orbits along equipotential lines of the 2DES. For topological reasons all these drift states except the one in the center of the Landau level form a closed path and thus the corresponding electron states are localized. The single extended state in the center is responsible for the conductivity at half filling.
Fig.1: (a) dI / dV-curves of the 2DES taken at different magnetic fields at the same lateral position reveal the subbands (0 T) and the spin-split Landau Levels (6 T to 12 T) of the 2DES. (b) Experimentally determined Landau fan diagram; blue (red) dashed lines: spin-down LLs of the 1st (2nd) subband; arrows: spin levels of the lowest LL.
Fig. 2: dI/dV-images (a-g) of the 2DES taken at different energies with respect to the position of the lowest spin-split Landau Level (LL) as shown in (h). The images reveal the transition from localized drift states in the insulating phases at the low and high energy tails of the LL (a,b; f,g) to branched extended drift states at the quantum critical point in the centre of the LL (c-e).
With STS we were able to image the drift spin-resolved states. Landau quantization of the adsorbate induced 2DES is shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 2 shows the corresponding LDOS, where stripe like structures running irregularly through the area are visible. The detection of drift states offers the unique possibility to study multifractal properties of a quantum critical state, which is the extended one.

Q: What signals it's better to handle in a TCP server? I'm writing a TCP server.
Everything it has to do is to read/write text to/from TCP sockets and read/write this text to/from text files on the file system where the server runs.
If there's a problem with the connection (e.g. the client closes the socket), the server blocked on a read/write receives a SIGPIPE signal. I want to ignore it: the server simply closes its socket's end because the communication is now impossible.
Is it a good way?
Are there other signals I've to consider?

A: Many server programs choose to ignore SIGPIPE, and use the return codes from read/write to have better understanding of the disconnection. For example, read/recv returns 0 on a proper disconnect from the other end, and -1 on error with errno set to one of multiple alternatives.

A: You could also implement an interrupt handler, in case the server crashes you may want to do some operations before closing.
e.g. SIGINT
void interrupt_handler(int sig){
    endloop = 1;
    close(sd);
    printf("Interrupt recieved: shutting down server!\n");
    return;
}

int main(int argc, char** argv){

    //all typical TCP socket functions

    signal(SIGINT, interrupt_handler);

    while(!endloop){

      //service loop

    }

}

A: If the server is a daemon process, it's a common practice to use SIGHUP to restart or re-initialize the server. @Joachim's answer is the most important, however: client behaviour shouldn't cause the server to terminate.
Note: Being asynchronous, there are restrictions on what signal handlers can do, safely.
