Among the famous Tea estates in Darjeeling district, Runglee Rungliot is one of them. It is actually one of the oldest tea brands of Duncans. Meaning of Runglee Rungliot is 'this far and no further'. If anyone is visiting Takdah region, they must visit this place. One can visit the estate factories and watch the tea processing but not in winters as it is usually remain closed during winter. There are some locals who lived near the tea estates and work in the tea processing factories. The picturesque view from the tea garden will surely mesmerize one. You can explore the place by walking through the tea gardens and by interacting with the locals.
The distance of this tea estate from New Jalpaiguri railway station is approximately 80 km and it will take around 3 hours to reach Takdah.
From the Teesta Bridge, the main road is bifurcated in two, one is going towards Kalimpong and the another one is going towards Darjeeling. After taking the road towards Darjeeling, first you will cross the Teesta Rangit Confluence view point i.e., Lover's meet view point and then you will cross Peshok tea garden. After crossing Peshok, you can take the left side road which is going towards Tinchuley. Here the road is not in good condition. However, after crossing Tinchuley and Takdah Orchid Center, you will reach Runglee Rungliot.
With this you can also cover Lamhatta, Durpin view point, Bara Mangwa (Famous for Orange Garden), Chota Mangwa etc. So if you are visiting among any of the above mentioned place, please visit this place.
I visited this place during our stay in Bara Mangwa. The resort owner had arranged the car for us.
From Darjeeling it is only 25 km. If you are coming from darjeeling, you need to come up to Jorebungalow and take a left to Peshoke road. At a place called 6th Mile take right towards Takdah, while the original road continues towards Teesta Bazaar.
In Takdah, you can stay in Saino Guest House, one of the famous in this region. Recently, it is heard that Takdah Club has been converted into forest rest house and tourists are allowed to stay there.
As I have mentioned earlier that, during our stay in Bara Mangwa, we have covered this place during sightseeing. In Bara Mangwa, one can stay in Darjeeling Blossom Eco-Tourism resort. The location of the resort is beautiful. The service provided by the Resort Owner and his family is awesome. You will surely enjoy your stay. Contact of the Resort Owner is 9635925321 (Mr. Benoy Pradhan). Other than this, Bara Mangwa Farm house is one of the famous resort in this place. Some home stays are available here.

RICHMOND, Va. (BP)--Ties between Virginia Baptists and the University of Richmond will be examined by a task force named April 13 in response to the university's decision to add sexual orientation to its non-discrimination policy.
The seven-member task force was created by the Virginia Baptist Mission Board's executive committee, which asked board chairman Gene Watson to name four of the panel's members. An additional three members were selected by the board's committee on student ministries.
The task force's findings, including any recommendations it proposes, will be presented at the board's Oct. 12-13 meeting. Based on those findings, the board may choose to offer recommendations to the Baptist General Association of Virginia at its annual meeting, Nov. 9-10 in Richmond.
Margaret Wayland of Danville, Va., a former president of the Baptist General Association of Virginia and of Virginia Woman's Missionary Union, will chair the task force. Wayland, a graduate of the University of Richmond, is a member of West Main Baptist Church in Danville.
Others members named by Watson are Jim Baucom Jr., pastor of Rivermont Avenue Baptist Church, Lynchburg, and a former BGAV first vice president; Jerry Holcomb, pastor of Kings Grant Baptist Church, Virginia Beach, and a former BGAV president; and Ray Spence, pastor of Second Baptist Church, Richmond, and chairman of the BGAV budget committee.
Members representing the student services committee are its chairman, Keith Smith, pastor of University Baptist Church, Charlottesville; Franklin Cain, a retired school administrator from Richmond and member of Chamberlayne Baptist Church, Richmond; and Don Davidson, pastor of Mount Hermon Baptist Church, Danville.
Trustees of the University of Richmond expanded the school's non-discrimination policy March 5 to prohibit discrimination against gays and lesbians in student, faculty and staff recruitment and promotion.
Three years ago several churches separated from the BGAV to form a new state convention, which now numbers about 150 congregations. One of the reasons cited by the new Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia was that the BGAV's stance on homosexuality wasn't strong enough.
-- Four of the school's 40 trustees are nominated by the BGAV.
-- The BGAV allocates about $230,000 to UR, most of which funds the Virginia Baptist Scholars Program. Approximately 16 students currently are recipients of that program, which provides finances for students from churches affiliated with the BGAV.
-- The Virginia Baptist Historical Society maintains its headquarters and library on the campus in facilities provided by UR at no cost.
-- A partnership agreement negotiated by representatives of the BGAV and of UR governs the relationship between the two, similar to agreements between Virginia Baptists and their other educational and benevolent agencies.
-- UR's chaplain and associate chaplain are Baptists.
During its meeting, the mission board adopted a resolution affirming their "support and prayer" for McDonough "in light of the difficult choices ahead" and promising to pray for the task force, "asking the Lord's wisdom to discern his way as we seek to define the path of the future relationship" between the school and Virginia Baptists.

U.S. Senator Duckworth says military hunger issues uncovered in FOX4 investigation must be addressed
by: Lisa McCormick
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A FOX4 investigation that exposed widespread food insecurity among active-duty service members in Missouri has sparked concern and outrage by Iraq War Combat Veteran and U.S. Senator from Illinois Tammy Duckworth.
FOX4's investigation revealed that 30% of Missouri students whose parents serve in the military qualified for free or reduced lunches this year.
FOX4 also discovered there are food pantries and food distribution programs on or near every military base in the country and it's not uncommon for junior enlisted soldiers to rely on food stamps and other governmental assistance programs to feed their families.
"Our military is weakened when service members are unable to feed their families," Duckworth said in response to the investigation.
"As someone whose family depended on food stamps after my father lost his job, I'm outraged that so many of our service members who are deployed must worry about whether their children are able to be fed."
Duckworth, a Purple Heart recipient who lost both legs and partial use of her right arm in 2004 when an RPG struck her helicopter, added: "We must pass legislation to address this problem, which is why I'll continue to push for solutions like creating a basic family needs allowance."
The Military Family Basic Needs Allowance would provide targeted cash benefits – on average about $400 a month – to service members who do not qualify for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The House approved this measure; the Senate did not. The provision is now pending in a Congressional conference committee.
"The number of active duty service members struggling to put food on the table is particularly alarming."
Duckworth is the latest lawmaker to respond to this investigation, which analyzed records from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education about the number of students, whose parents are active-duty or in the National Guard, who qualified for free and reduced school lunches.
FOX4 discovered a high percentage of struggling military students attend classes in the Kansas City area. In the Belton School District, for example, our analysis revealed 44% of military students qualified for assistance under the National School Lunch Program this year. In the North Kansas City School District, that number is 35%.
Congressman Emanuel Cleaver said no level of food insecurity, among any segment of society, is acceptable.
"Having said that, the number of active duty service members struggling to put food on the table is particularly alarming," he said. "The men and women making great sacrifices for our country should never struggle to provide meals to their families."
Cleaver said he supports the Military Family Basic Needs Allowance and pay raises for service members.
"Members in the House are open to the inclusion of this provision in the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act and when it comes time to vote, I will support its inclusion, he said. "I supported the 3% increase in base pay for soldiers included in the 2021 NDAA and would be happy to see this increase should the opportunity arise."
"No service member should be food insecure."
Missouri Senator Josh Hawley told FOX4 he supports salary increases for service members and the state's recent action that makes it easier for military spouses with professional licenses to get a job when they move from state to state.
"No service member should be food insecure," Hawley said. "That's why I supported a 3% pay raise for troops last year and will do so again this year. That's why I also support Missouri's decision to allow license reciprocity, so military spouses can transfer their professional licenses quickly and easily when they and their active-duty spouses are stationed in our state."
"I voted last year to direct the Secretary of Defense to work with state governors to improve license reciprocity even further," he added. "Our service members represent the best of our nation, and I will continue to fight to make sure they and their families have everything they need."
Missouri Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler's office echoed those views.
"The safety and well-being of our military families has and continues to be a priority of the Congresswoman," a spokesman said.
"She has consistently supported military pay increases, including this year, and has been an advocate for changes in Missouri law to allow employment licensing reciprocity for military spouses."
Hartzler's office also said she supported action last year that required the Department of Defense to study food insecurity among military families and report its findings to lawmakers.
"This report will provide the necessary data and information to effectively address this issue moving forward," her office said, adding the report should be released early next year.
Missouri Congressman Sam Graves also told FOX4 he supports salary increase for our troops.
"When the families of our men and women in uniform struggle at home, our military struggles abroad," he said. "This is exactly why I've consistently supported pay raises for military families and increased funding for our military. I will always stand up for those that defend our country and our freedom."
"I didn't sign up to serve, protect, and struggle to feed my children."
An active-duty sergeant in Missouri — and single mother of two young children – told FOX4 she supports any action that will help her and other military families who struggle to put on their families' table.
"Food insecurity is a pretty widespread problem in the military," said Jane, who asked us to protect her identity for fear of retribution by her commanding officer.
"The military doesn't want the public to know about this issue because it would project that the military isn't perfect. But I'm a sergeant and this impacts me and my family."
"I signed up to serve and protect my country," she said. "But I didn't sign up to serve, protect, and struggle to feed my children."

64. Does a Tiger Change Its Stripes?
Melissa had heard about Bill. He was a womanizer. He dated one woman after another, telling one lie after another. He was a pilot, a tiger trainer, a banker, a publisher, a tycoon, an investor, an adventurer, and on and on. He laughed about how easy it was to deceive women. Dress sharp and drive a luxury car, and they would follow you anywhere. Bill could get almost any woman he wanted. And then he discarded them like so many empty water bottles.
Although Bill owned a carpet-cleaning business that had five employees, he made most of his money gambling. He went to Vegas at least six times a year, and played at a couple of casinos in the Los Angeles area regularly. Tonight he had invited himself to a monthly neighborhood poker game. For most of the evening, Bill was rather quiet. He hadn't said one unkind word about women, and he only briefly bragged about his poker skills. Melissa wondered if Bill had finally met a woman who had put him in his place. Meanwhile, he was winning every third hand.
Melissa decided to play one last hand, and then leave. She ended up with a wonderful hand, three nines and two aces. The betting was spirited, but eventually all the other players dropped out, except Bill. Bill made a final raise, and Melissa called. There was almost $200 in the pot, the biggest of the evening. Melissa was mentally shopping with the money (much of it Bill's!). Bill, however, also had a full house, three tens and two deuces. Bill chuckled, "The best female poker player in the world couldn't beat me, honey. What on earth were you thinking?"

Two Tunisian detainees die after hunger strike
Bouazizi's desperate act of self-immolation in response to his humiliation seems to be replicated once again under the rule of a legitimate government that came to power through the ballot box.
Meriem Dhaouadi
The death of imprisoned Mohamad Backhti and Bechir Gholli after almost two months of hunger strike to protest over the conditions of their detentions marks a further embarrassment to the coalition government led by Ennahda party.
Mohamad Backti, a leading figure in Tunisia's Salafists circle died last Saturday after refusing food for nearly two months following his arrest for the attack on the US embassy in Tunis sparked by an offensive film made in the United States. Bechir Gholli, another adherent to the Salafists movement died on Thursday also after fasting for nearly two months to denounce his arbitrary arrest. More than 100 people - Salafists and common prisoners - in detention today follow the footsteps of Backti and Gholli through refusing food until their release, a move which may bring more deaths.
Recent protests at the US embassy in Tunis rendered the Tunisian government tougher and less patient with the Salafist troublemakers in Tunisian society.There have been a number of violent incidents caused by hardline extremists: the attacks on the headquarters of the TV channel Nessma for broadcasting Persepolis, the shutdown of La Manouba university because of disagreement over the ban of niqab, the June art gallery exhibition which turned into a bloody riots when a group of extremists attacked the painting exhibition for allegedly humiliating Islam.
The justice system in Tunisia should be reformed and the prosecuted should enjoy the right to a speedy trial and should also be detained in humane conditions. The Tunisian people who took to the streets almost two years ago were motivated by disillusionment over the abuses inside the Tunisian prisons and prolonged detentions without trial, especially when it came to political dissidents.
As it happens, the leader of Ennahda party was caught on a controversial leaked video counselling such representatives of the Salafist movement that they could change the model of the Tunisian society gradually in the direction of their declared goal of implementing sharia law in Tunisia if they did not provoke violence. But when the upheaval went beyond the domestic affairs, that is - when it came to threatening the American interests in Tunisia, the government showed that it can use its iron hand to satisfy the west. So not much has changed when it comes to prison conditions.
"It's a shame that Tunisians die in prison after the revolution," Bhakti's lawyer, Anouar Aouled Ali, told Reuters. The revolution that was triggered by an act of suicide seems to be unable to give life back to Tunisians. Bouazizi's desperate act of self-immolation in response to his humiliation seems to be replicated once again under the rule of a legitimate government that came to power through the ballot box.
One of the mechanisms of a democratic transition period is an independent and transparent judicial system along with humane treatment of inmates in the prisons. One remedy to ensure a fair trial for the detainees is to give access to information to human rights monitors and national watchdog groups to ensure transparency and fairness in the trials. There should be an independent investigation into the true reasons of death of the two salafis. Those who were found responsible must be held to account, starting from the prison officials and including the Ministry of Health who may not have provided adequate medical care. And we should ask why Tunisians are seeking an end to their lives after the revolution of dignity.

Unemployment Drops for Real
Gene Epstein
Updated Jan. 8, 2011 12:01 am ET / Original Jan. 8, 2011 8:26 am ET
A downside rather than an upside surprise, but in the right direction. The unemployment rate plunged to a 19-month low of 9.4% in December, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. And while the December gains in nonfarm payroll employment fell short of Thursday's euphoric estimates, they were respectable nonetheless.
Nonfarm payroll jobs rose 103,000 in December; and including revisions to prior months, 173,000. Given small declines by government, private-sector payrolls did a little better, rising 113,000, or 175,000 with revisions.
The drop in the jobless rate to 9.4% from 9.8% was treated as an aberration by some. But as Wrightson ICAP chief economist Louis Crandall points out, November's 9.8% looks more like the aberrant figure. "In the absence of the misleading November signal," comments Crandall, "this morning's 9.4% reading would not look terribly surprising to anyone."
Predictably, many analysts also objected to the way the unemployment rate declined. According to a typical statement, "The rate declined in part due to a notable drop in the labor force, suggesting the unemployment rate will rebound when discouraged workers return."
THAT HOARY IDEA MIGHT SEEM plausible, but things usually don't work that way. It's certainly true that, while most declines in the rate of joblessness are accompanied by an increase in the labor force, this one coincided with a decrease. But that combination of events—decrease in the jobless rate, drop in the labor force—has happened before. And if it really does suggest an imminent rebound in the unemployment rate, wouldn't we find such rebounds common in the past?
In fact, we find no such thing, as a little homework reveals. Start with real-time data—data reported at the time, rather than revised data—since the December figures were real-time. Based on archived reports since January 1994, made available on the BLS Website, there were 16 separate months prior to last month in which a reported decline in the unemployment rate was accompanied by a decline in the labor force.
Out of those 16 times, there were 11 in which the decline in the rate of joblessness either held over the next four months (five cases) or actually fell further (six cases). So the decline was confirmed in subsequent data roughly 70% of the time—hardly suggesting the likelihood of an imminent rebound.
Now take the revised figures, since they more closely approximately the real historical record. The results are similar. Out of just nine cases in which this combination of events occurred, there were five cases in which the decline confirmed over the next four months—three with the decline holding, the other two with it continuing further. True, that means four out of nine cases in which there was a reversal or rebound. But of course, declines in joblessness coinciding with a rise in the labor force can also get reversed.
Why do we get this result, contrary to the popular myth? It probably has to do with statistical anomalies in the way the labor force is tracked from month to month. But also consider what it literally means to predict a rebound in the unemployment rate "when discouraged workers return." If those discouraged workers return to the labor force in an unemployed state, the unemployment rate will indeed rebound. But it won't happen if those discouraged workers return with jobs in hand.

A Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, on Monday remanded the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh, at the Kuje Maximum Prison, pending the determination of his bail application on March 10.
Mr. Badeh was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, before Justice Okon Abang for alleged fraud, relating to the diversion of N3.9 billion meant for the purchase of arms for the Nigerian military.
Justice Okon Abang, who gave the ruling Monday, struck out the bail application filed by Mr. Badeh's counsel, Samuel Zibiri, on the grounds that it was filed ahead of his client's (Mr. Badeh's) arraignment.
The judge ruled that the hearing for Mr. Badeh's bail would commence on March 10, adding that it was important for the application to be determined before the commencement of trial.
Mr. Abang further held that the trial of the substantive case, billed to commence on March 14, would be on a day to day basis.
Mr. Badeh, a retired Air Chief Marshal, was arraigned on a 10-count charge bordering on money laundering, criminal breach of trust and corruption.
He was accused by the EFCC of using funds assigned to the Nigerian Air Force to purchase a mansion in Abuja.
The commission said the purchase was done with the dollar equivalent of N1.4 billion.
"Mr. Badeh, while being the CDS, among other things between January and December, 2013, allegedly used dollar equivalent of the sum of N1.4billion (One Billion, One Hundred Million Naira) removed from the accounts of the Nigerian Air Force to purchase a mansion situated at No. 6, Ogun River Street, Off Danube Street, Maitama, Abuja", the EFCC said in a statement LAST Thursday.
The offence is in contravention of Section 15 (2) (d) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011 (as amended) and punishable under Section 15(3) of the same Act, the anti-graft body said.
Badeh has denied all allegations of corruption against him.


The blog may get a little frenetic these last couple days. My mind is racing and I just need to let it relax. Honestly I am in the best place I could possibly be at this point!
I swam this morning and it went well. My shoulder is sore like it was early in training. I will take Aleeve this week to see if that helps. It gets better with more swimming so that is a good thing! The last set in my workout out was 5 X 200 at race pace. I want to swim a 1:05 in the race; which works out to a 1:32/100 yard average pace. Tough, but not impossible. So below were my splits from the set.
Just a little shy of the magic 1:32 pace. I am hoping that the wetsuit and excitement helps get me there.
I had a nice chat with Jordan Rapp this morning. He is a professional triathlete that lives near by and because of that I keep seeing him when I am training. We swim at the same pool, run the same roads, and this weekend we even biked the same routes. He will be racing Arizona as well. Of course he will finish a little bit before me… you know, about 4 hours earlier… He is a super nice guy and I am pulling for him to win! Also, I asked him to stop by the finish and cheer me on after his race 🙂 He said he is usually eating by 12:00 hours but if I hit the 11:30, like my coach is predicting, he might be there. A little more motivation never hurts!
← Week 16 of 17 Ironman Arizona Training Recap – The barn is full!
Watching and cheering from Wintery Canada. Have a great race!!!!
Thanks!!! It helps on race day!
I think wetsuit and excitement will definitely carry you to your swim goal!! Best of luck! My brother is doing IMAZ too. Have enjoyed reading your blog as I'm new to the tri scene.
You got this, as the kids say.
Breathe, close your eyes, breathe and just see the finish line. See the swim, see the bike, see the run, see the finish.
And, send us info on how to follow!

Dan Hamilton (SFO) is the Article 114 Representative to the SBS Office.
Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B)
Background: The Surveillance and Broadcast Services (SBS) program was created to manage a program that will enable the air traffic control (ATC) system to migrate from one that relies on radar technology to a system that uses precise location data from the global positioning satellite network. An enabler of this evolution is the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) technology. With this technology, both controllers and pilots will see radar-like displays of highly accurate traffic data. The system will also provide pilots access to weather services, terrain maps, and flight information services.
Surface Surveillance
Background: ASSC is a surface surveillance system very similar to ASDE-X. The ASSC program was developed to replace the last remaining ASDE3/AMASS sites. To date, SFO; CLE; MCI; CVG; PIT; MSY and PDX have successfully deployed. ANC and ADW will be the last two sites in the waterfall. Initially, ASSC was supposed to deploy without Surface Movement Radar (SMR). After a lengthy debate between NATCA and the Agency, it was decided that ASSC would include SMR for all sites.
We participated in numerous telcons regarding the data analysis needed for MLAT (Multilateration) divestiture on the surface. Due to the implementation of ADS-B into the NAS, and lack of available parts to sustain MLAT at ASDE-X and ASSC sites, the agency started a program aiming to remove MLAT. It has yet to be determined if its achievable due to the early infancy of the program. Much of what I have learned on Radar divestiture will be carried over to this program. As far as completing the ASSC Rollout, ADW is currently scheduled to be finished in Fiscal Year 2022. ANC IOC (Initial operating capability) will continue to be delayed until COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. ANC was scheduled to be completed in February.
ASEPS (Space Based ADS-B)
Background: With the terrestrial ADS-B platform fully deployed, the focus has turned to areas where surveillance is more difficult to achieve. Space Based ADS-B (SBA) utilizes low orbiting satellites to track aircraft that are ADS-B 1090ES Equipped. SBA provides updates every second, much like FUSION in STARS. SBA provides all the data controllers currently see on all platforms. It is also possible to gain additional data such as selected altitude. The team has been working with ZMA as they are the key site for operational evaluation in the Caribbean. As work in ZMA progresses, the team is also working with the ATOP team in the development of future concepts for SBA in the oceanic environment. Future concepts include work with ZNY; ZAN and ZOA.
We continue daily communication and weekly telecons with the ASEPS team as we analyze space based data to determine how various issues have developed. Many of the issues we see are based on aircraft with bottom mount antennas which satellites have a hard time seeing, in addition to the poor performance of aircraft avionics. While the team is focusing on SBA efforts at ZMA, we also have continued conversations with JT Lenhart and the ATOP team about future projects at ZNY, ZOA, and ZAN.
We have been working with the Vehicle ADS-B team (see below) as we make modifications to the AC (Advisory Circular) on vehicles. Additional units have been added expanding the options for users, in addition to changing the procedures for installation and verification. The vehicle team has also been working with the program office in an attempt to acquire funding to equip Tech Ops vehicles.
Radar Divestiture
Andrew Stachowiak is the SBS/ADS-B/Fusion SME.
Background: Over two years ago, the NATCA SBS team started a collaboration with the agency in efforts to optimize the NAS. Due to the implementation of ADS-B, it was realized that modifying our radar infrastructure could benefit the presentations we all use daily.
During the FUSION Rollout, it was discovered that radar overlap, and radar reflection could
cause issues such as false targets and target "stitching." Additionally, with ADS-B becoming a
primary surveillance source, the team agreed that it was time to start optimizing our efforts.
This program has now reached a point where communication and ongoing dialogue will begin
soon with various facilities. This will be a long and completely transparent process involving data gathering, expert analysis, local facility coordination, and a safety panel for each proposed radar removal. In some situations, additional radar feeds could be added to enhance surveillance. As this program matures, activities and other information will be updated here.
Vehicle ADS-B
Background: Vehicle ADS-B is a program that equips vehicles with transponders so they will be visible not only by air traffic but also by airport operators. Aircraft that have ADS-B IN can also see vehicles on the flight deck. This program greatly increases safety and situational awareness in the field. Although vehicle equipage is not currently mandated, it is very much encouraged. The team that handles ASDE-X and ASSC also cover this program. There are currently 1775 vehicles equipped at 26 airports. PDX, IAD, and DCA are the latest airports to equip.
We have been keeping up with Radar Divestiture Team, SME, Technical Analysis, Communications, and Leadership meetings. On most occasions, we meet through a Zoom or Go To format to virtually look at data and or presentation material that covers every facet of the workgroup. We are collectively analyzing data and sharing information. The Radar Divestiture program is working on a website that will better explain all of this material.
Track-Based Display Mode (TBDM)
Background: TBDM provides controllers using ERAM with smoothed track positions rather than last-reported or extrapolated target positions. Smoothed track positions are displayed in sync with the preferred radar sweep (4.6 or 12 secs); the use of the smoothed track position maximizes display accuracy. Reports from 0 to 8 radars along with ADS-B can be fused to form a single aircraft track. TBDM provides no changes to target/track symbology and the display update rate remains the same. TBDM enables the use of ADS-B as the preferred surveillance source to support 3NM Separation no longer limited to 3NM separation based on distance from a radar sensor. ADS-B will backfill Radar Cones of Silence and airspace beyond the distance and site limitations of existing SRRs and LRRs. New SBS Validation capabilities support significant future expansion of 3NM validation and separation anywhere in Enroute Airspace at or below FL230.
Interval Management
Tom Zarick is the NATCA Article 114 Center Interval Management Representative
Interval Management / ADS-B In
Background: Interval Management, or IM, combines ground-based and flight-deck systems to provide precise inter-aircraft spacing between aircraft, providing air traffic with another tool to manage traffic flows. The objective of the IM application is to achieve and/or maintain an assigned spacing goal (ASG) between the IM aircraft and the ATC-designated aircraft by having the pilot follow speed commands generated by the flight deck avionics. The ASG is provided by the controller and may be given in time or distance.
AIRS (ADSB-In Retrofit Solution) is an application within the Interval Management domain that the FAA and American Airlines are engaged in an effort to promote the benefits and viability of ADSB-In. The deployment strategy for IM will consist of three phases. The first phase or Phase A, (similar to the AIRS concept) will consist of a subset of the IM functionality which will be limited to the same runway operations. Phase B will introduce more complex IM operations utilizing more of the flight deck avionics that adds functionality for Dependent Staggered Approaches (DSA) and Dependent Converging and Crossing Runways (DCCR). Phase C will introduce advanced IM capabilities that will be deployed to only a handful of facilities due to its limited benefits.
The ERAM IM Task Team is close to completing the Interval Management Use Case document. Unless any concerns are raised by next week, the team plans to present the document to the National User Team (NUT) on April 29th. A lot of discussion took place this week surrounding the development of the IM status indicator. The timeline for development appears to be moving to the left so it can support the AIRS project. With AIRS only supporting a subset of the IM capabilities, it's still unclear how the indicator will be defined.
Terminal Interval Management
Chris Aymond is the NATCA Article 114 Terminal Interval Management Representative
Terminal IM focuses on advanced IM applications that utilize ADS-B IN. I am working together closely with Tom Zarick to ensure cohesion between the Enroute and Terminal environments.
IM Software Engineering meetings were held as Raytheon continues to develop the CHI for ADSB-In applications on STARS. This occurs in cooperation with SBS and the terminal CHI team. A CAS (Cockpit Display of Traffic InformationAssisted Separation) SRM Panel preparation meeting was held to begin planning for an SRM Panel for CAS. It was acknowledged that a workaround was needed to inform controllers which aircraft are CAS capable on STARS until controllers have the proper CHI. Options for this workaround are being discussed as well. The SBS office is also working with AJT to select a site for a CAS trial. Options being considered for a CAS trial are CLT, DFW, LAX, ORD, and PHL.
Discussions are taking place on how to handle ADS-B out for drones as differing requirements need to be met for certain UAS operations.

Back to Planning & Community Development
Government > Departments / Divisions > Planning & Community Development > Design Guidelines and Checklists > Multiple Family Bufferyard
Bufferyard Guidelines
See Section 34-5.14 of the Zoning Ordinance for details. ALWAYS CHECK FOR AMENDMENTS.
Bufferyards may not be required where the abutting RA District has a nonresidential use.
Where existing plantings are to be utilized, temporary snow fencing should be installed and no grading or disturbance should be allowed within this zone. Existing vegetation should be noted as to its variety, size and location.
The intent of the buffering is a softening effect and is not intended to totally obscure the multiple-family buildings. Unless fewer are required, the small deciduous trees and evergreens should be in minimum groups of three (3), the shrubs in minimum groups of five (5), and the deciduous trees should be evenly distributed throughout the bufferyard.
The bufferyard plantings should be indicated on the same plans as the front yard landscape plan.
Bufferyard plantings will be required in yards occupied by water retention areas.
Bufferyard Table
The following table can be used as a guide to the "plant unit multipliers" as outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. The depth is defined as the number of feet between the building and the RA District (the closest point applies for buildings that are irregularly shaped and/or that are not parallel to the RA District). The width is defined as the width of the building as measured parallel to the property line plus the number of feet to an off-street parking area or to the midpoint between buildings, where applicable (see diagram).
To use the table, determine the depth and width of the required bufferyard and follow the table down and across. The box where they meet indicates the required number of: a) large deciduous trees, b) small deciduous trees, c) large shrubs, and d) evergreen trees.
If the bufferyard depth exceeds 125 feet, the column for 125 feet is utilized. If the bufferyard width exceeds 100 feet (the maximum indicated in the table), the number of plantings required for the width in excess of 100 feet can be added to the required number of plantings for 100 feet in determining how many plantings are needed for said yard.
Bufferyard depth – 70 feet
Bufferyard width – 170 feet
Step No. 1 D = 70' W = 100' a = 1
b = 2 c = 5
Step No. 2 D = 70' W = 70' a = 1
Step No. 3 Add total of
a, b, c and d a = 2
B = 4 c = 10

PA-18: GOP Nominee
It appears that state Rep. Rick Saccone (R-Elizabeth/ Jefferson Hills) made the right move in withdrawing from the US Senate race and jumping into the vacated House special election when Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Pittsburgh) resigned his seat. On Saturday, Mr. Saccone won the special Republican nominating convention, defeating state Sens. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Bethel Park) and Kim Ward (R-Greensburg). The convention featured 215 voting members from the district's four counties. Mr. Saccone, first elected to the state House in 2010 after a US Air Force career in counterintelligence and serving as a US diplomat in North Korea, won the nomination on the second ballot, after Sen. Ward was eliminated in the first round of voting. The Democrats will nominate their candidate on November 19th. The special election is scheduled for March 13th, and Mr. Saccone begins the campaign as a heavy favorite to secure the safely Republican western Pennsylvania seat.


Beyoncé Showed Off Her Christmas Trees in a Glorious Instagram "Sleigh Ride"
There's even a Lemonade tree.
Beyoncé crashed her own record label's holiday party Friday night with a killer live performance, but she wasn't quite done being the sleigh queen of Christmas. The superstar took to Instagram on Saturday to show us exactly how she was celebrating the holidays—and in case you were wondering, it does involve a Lemonade-themed tree.
Posing for the camera and looking fabulous, Queen B also gives us some holiday-party-outfit inspo via slideshow-style pics of her in a plunging navy blue minidress.
Then the post cuts to what very much looks like it could be Blue Ivy's room. If appearances don't deceive, Beyoncé and Jay-Z's daughter gets her own tree (lucky), which is pink and white and decorated with ballerina ornaments and green ribbon. We also get a glimpse of a nutcracker and some sweetly retro cupcake ornaments laid out on what looks like a table, which means that the four-year-old's quarters are decorated better than ours for the holidays.
After a montage of more Beyoncé, this time in reindeer antlers—because only the Queen can pull those off before finishing a bottle of wine—the video takes us to the Lemonade tree. The tree is a little on the small side, but it's covered with lemon ornaments and green disco balls (we're down for disco ball ornaments anytime, TBH) and topped off with a citrus-color lace bow.
Finally, we loop back to where it all began with close-ups of the big tree from the intro. Here our disco ball ornament fantasies truly come to life, with star shapes, heart shapes, and teddy bear shapes. Our own trees have never looked so bare.
Ready to see it all for yourself?

Grand Circus Graduates Poised for Professional Technology Careers
Allison Saunders
Work Detroit
The investment Grand Circus (GC) has in the city of Detroit extends beyond accessible technology bootcamps and IT programs; their passion for the next generation of technical professionals fuels the Detroit hustle and stimulates the city's economy.
Located at 1570 Woodward Ave, the devoted teams of Grand Circus instructors seek to develop the professional careers of each student by providing exposure to a rich network of local employers.
While Grand Circus offers an array of unique bootcamp coding courses, we sought out four individuals who graduated from GC's most popular bootcamp, Front-End Coding. The following is the experiences of the four GC graduates, how they learned about the program and where they are as a result.
Nidra Smith was first introduced to Grand Circus in October 2015 at a resume workshop where she met Celena Mancina, the director of operations at GC. In February of 2016, she joined the Front-End JavaScript Bootcamp.
According to the Grand Circus website, the Front-End Bootcamp is a 10-week program that focuses on JavaScript, a highly adaptable program used to create interaction in web pages. The program consists of in-class lectures, labs, projects, and at-home learning.
Smith attests the importance of computer coding, and furthermore, the impact of GC in this specific field.
"Grand Circus is providing young people in Detroit with an invaluable opportunity to participate and succeed in the much larger market place," said Smith. "Detroit is in the middle of a great resurgence. This resurgence requires a technically skilled workforce. Grand Circus is in the perfect position to teach these sought after skills."
Currently, Smith is employed at Carat in downtown Detroit, where she works as a junior data technology specialist.
"Grand Circus allowed me to acquire the skills set to land my present job," Smith said.
Shugmi Shumunov is another Grand Circus grad that took the Front-End course. He's a Wayne State University grad who was interested in a field change.
"It was tough, but was a great experience and totally worth it," he said. "They have so many resources, the staff is tremendous and the teachers are really knowledgeable. They taught me the ability to pick up new technology extremely rapidly."
Shumunov graduated GC in August 2016 and currently works at GTB, designing websites as a junior web developer and technology intern.
"Grand Circus gave me the entire foundation and skill set to do that. I just wanted to be a part of Detroit because of the tech scene. I think a lot of industries don't really do things like the tech industry here in Detroit does," added Shumunov.
A Change of Scenery
Image: GrandCircus.com
Landall Proctor, a JavaScript developer at LevelEleven knew he needed to make a career change. Six months before Proctor joined GC, he started exploring technology and coding.
"I used a lot of online resources to do that at first," said Proctor. "I was learning a lot and my skills were progressing, but I didn't know how long it was going to take to build these skills 100% on my own and convince a future employer that they should take a risk on me."
Proctor joined the Front-End Bootcamp in August of 2015, taking classes on JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. He graduated the following October.
"I came out with definite confidence in my skills," said Proctor.
He went on to say how GC provided countless opportunities for their students to meet potential employers.
"Before I took my current job, I had four interviews within three weeks of the bootcamp ending and I just don't think I would've gotten those interviews without a Grand Circus connection to it." Proctor began his job at LevelEleven in November of 2015.
Kwaku Osei-Bonsu also sought a career change and a fresh start, moving back to his hometown in Detroit in November of 2015. After researching major cities like Atlanta and New York, Osei-Bonsu found Grand Circus to be the best resource for a coding bootcamp. In January 2016, he took the Front-End Web Development Bootcamp.
"I was able to start building my own projects and freelancing jobs almost immediately," said Osei-Bonsu.
He credited Grand Circus' extensive business network and strong alumni program.
"I landed my current job through a Grand Circus alum that was already at Meridian," said Osei-Bonsu, now a software engineer for internal processes at Meridian.
He's eager to witness Grand Circus' effect on the city of Detroit:
"With Detroit being a city that's in the middle of reform, it's cool to see something like Grand Circus that's helping it move forward in a faster pace. It is the phoenix rising."
Real-World Experience
Grand Circus provides intensive learning experiences that translate to real-world knowledge and career application. Emphasizing teamwork, paired programming, and incomparable technical skills, GC gleans their students for coveted company positions, with graduates at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Title Source, DTE Energy, and Meridian.
According to the website, over 200 Grand Circus bootcampers graduated in 2015. The turnaround rate for career advancement speaks through their extensive alumni network.
Whether they encounter a recent college graduate with a degree in computer science or a seasoned company worker that dreams of entering a new industry, Grand Circus is designed to provide endless opportunities to advance the goals and aspirations of their applicants.
If you want to launch your tech career, check out four bootcamps provided at Grand Circus:
The Front-End Coding Bootcamp, featured in this article, focused on JavaScript, used in non-browser environments like cars and robots.
The Front-End Part-Time Coding Bootcamp allows you to learn JavaScript while still continuing at your day job and offers other programming tools and skills.
.NET (C#) Coding Bootcamp will teach you programming for enterprise development.

Older people actually hear music as louder, new reports show. Presbycusis, an age-related hearing problem, means that older people find background music drowns out conversation even at levels younger people do not notice.
says Dr. Anil K. Lalwani, director of otology, neurotology and skull-base surgery at Columbia University Medical Center, New York.
Loss of high-frequency hearing leads to deterioration in the ability to distinguish words in conversation. Additionally, any noise in the environment leads to even greater loss in clarity of hearing. Contrary to expectation, presbycusis is also associated with sensitivity to loud noises.
As the overall population ages, governments and businesess should take notice.
This entry was posted in Pipedown News on April 22, 2014 by Nigel Rodgers.


We all need to read this glorious charter on a regular basis to remind us of the deep tap roots that anchor our country. Our founders didn't blow innocent people up to gain power. They opened with a quick line of explanation of what they were doing and followed that with the clear and profound words of what they believed. They were taking on the most powerful nation on the planet. They had no navy at all. They had little more than an armed group of hearty fellow patriots. They did have those touchstone beliefs and proposed to create a new form of government of the people, by the people, and for the people. They also set down in this same document the right of the people to change this new government if it didn't meet their needs or overthrow it if required! Some feel we may have reached that point. There is no doubt in my mind that some changes need to be made. I hope and pray, on this anniversary of our country's founding, that the required changes will come peacefully. God Bless America!
Goldwater was the best of the best! He had a keen mind, a sense of humor, and unshakeable beliefs! Do you know anyone like that? Let me rephrase that. Do you know anyone like that who is in their right mind? Sorry, I couldn't resist. Search out the Goldwater visits to Carson's Tonight Show.
But we control the roads! Instant siege if required. I would move the UN to St. Helena or Pitcarin. Let's sort out the serious players on this bloated farce.
The liberal media pretty much ignores this as they do so many things that the public expects them to report. Freedom of the press, indeed!
Here's a fact that matters. Social Security, Medicare, and interest on our national debt taken together exceed the revenue coming in to the federal gov't! Think about all the departments that are not included in that group including Defense, Labor, Commerce, Energy, Education, etc. Yes, both parties are responsible for this problem, but BHO is doing his best to ignite class warfare and rioting in the streets. How will we behave when we face the cut backs the Greeks are facing? Think it can't happen here? Pray it doesn't!
LIAR! pretty much covers it. This half-breed is the worst thing since King George III! He needs to campaign in Dallas.
TJ is ever a puzzlement. He can be profound as in this quote or simply without morality or responsibility as in too much of his life. Great minds are ever such I fear. So, I salute this quote! It is the truth we believe and subscribe to in the USA which owes so much to his efforts. Where would he stand in the DC of today?
I agree with one significant, divine exception.
I enter this discussion a bit late. Truth be told, when I saw the quote I had to see where the players lined up. Living in a pure, tribal state - both meanings - may be the intellectual idea; until some other tribe attacks, which history shows will happen. The feudal system, key root 'feud,' became the answer to the problem and the game has been afoot for ever after. Blame Eve, the snake, or the devil, we lost The Garden of Eden. Until one has had the opportunity and responsibility for 'running' something, it looks easy. It never is. Been there, done that. Be thankful for the many, many good people in gov't who do the tasks with a good heart and all the honesty they can bring. You won't read much about them, but they are the sinews by which we survive as a free people.
A curious selection of quotes which have an interesting tack. Cheney echoes the Roman. When we are attacked we must be men first and defeat the enemy. War is never pretty and rules are observed at your mortal peril. Korea and Viet Nam should have taught us that but did not. Iraq remains an expensive, bloody, experiment in progress. Afghanistan is echoing the path of Korean War errors. To those who dislike Bush, begone! After 9/11 he drew the line in the sand and said to the world, you are with us or against us! Remember the Alamo, Crossing the Rubicon, etc. If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything. The third quote ties up the nasty package of war with the reality of the foot soldier. The ever noble young who fight and die as the diabolical games are played. Semantics is not a manly art any more than war is pretty. During peace you may debate, during war it is ever, "My country, right or wrong, my country!"
A great thread! I'm no theologin, but I recall that when Christ was baptized by John the baptist, as set forth in the KJV, God spoke from the heavens to say, "This is my beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased." And the spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon him...etc. Matthew 3, 16 and 17. That's pretty much the Triune God as I understand it as an LCMS Christian.
A great thread gone somewhat astray as I read the posts. I am an LCMS Christian. I don't always share the dogmatic belief. I believe faith is a personal bond between the individual and Jesus Christ. As to the quote and its importance, our founding fathers saw the danger of church state linkage. Henry VIII had made a shambles of the ties involved in divine right monarchy and the pope as the vicar of Christ over marriage and divorce. England is still sorting that one out. So is Rome. Now, go back further to a time when a priest hood began keeping track of the various repeating cycles that took place in any given part of the world. Stonehenge as a "computer" to mark the pivotal changes marking the seasons. Did the priests build it or was it a leader trying to throw off a leaching priesthood? I haven't ever heard that question raised! I understand that there are these stone circles all over the place. Once one is built, the town idiot can handle the job of catching when the sign is "given." Even if he misses it by a few days, it's no big deal. There are Egyptian temples that mark a day when the sun reaches a special "holy mark" via a long corridor to let a key point be known. Some are so old that the modification of that point can be seen to have been changed via a significant structural modification. It's a quick step to a priesthood notifying an upcoming leader of their ability to signal events in "the heavens" to help him rule. In some places the priests could even predict eclipses. That gets the folks attention when the leader demands a sign from the gods! A personal favorite that Paine may deserve some credit for was the show Napoleon put on where the pope was to crown him as emperor. Except at the last instant, Napoleon took the crown from the pope's hands and placed it on his own head all by himself. I expect the people got the message. If things didn't turn out all that well for Napoleon, like Hitler, he had a good time while it lasted.
WOW! This has become a take no prisoners environment and I'm glad to see it. I'm guessing that "Waffler" is a name taken to define a stance that is rarely a stance in the classic sense. When you face off, first, you must plant your feet, assume the stance, etc. "Archer" could be a name or an approach. I'm guessing the latter. "Logan" brings to mind "Logan's Run" and I make no guess. As to Tom Paine, we all know who he was. Our "Che." He didn't hang around here very long before he was off to France. Sound at all like Che to anyone? Paine spoke of the "sunshine patriot," and knew whereof he spoke. In that long, long journey from "The Fertile Crescent" to Lexington, MA; we study the march of Western Civilization even as it continues this very second, in some ways, in this blog. The USA is the current experiment in progress. There are others, but "the shot heard round the world" was fired here and the echoes remain. Initially, I was going to simply suggest that Paine was making an obvious, fundamental statement and draw a parallel to what G. W. Bush said following 9/11; that other nations were either with us or against us. I still feel that way. That's why I said it. I will be interested in any thoughts that come my way. For the record, my name is Wulff and it traces back to somewhere in Germany and there is an official there who shares that name and I have no idea if we might be related. God bless America!
I'm surprised he left out the 5th amendment as that also has been gutted by our gov't. One can be forced to testify if given a grant of immunity. Sorry friends, that's not what it says. The first ten amenments - The Bill of Rights - was a requirement to be added to the Constitution in order to gain its approval. It was to make sure that there was no mistake about the delineated rights it contained. That is why the erosion of those rights is a curse which must be fought by all Americans. George Washington was the tall, strong hero on a white horse who could have been king, but refused. He also limited himself to two terms, setting a precedent that survived until FDR opted to end it. I'm not sure the amendment that eliminated that option was correct, but it was passed and we are stuck with it. We live in a time when the wisdom of our founding fathers is trivialized by too many people who should know better. The current swing to the far left may be the death of our whole system. I'm old. I can only pray to the Creator for our continuance in His good humor.
Sam Adams was the spark and the quote is absolutely right on as this discussion shows. I think we might call him a "purist" who lit the candle so others could see. The others had to move over a bit to be "realists" regarding what could be done within reason. Now, at long last, his heritage is celebrated in a beer! I'm not joking about that. It is an inspired brew aimed at the highest ideals of craft and loved by a devoted following. He is finally getting some recognition 235 years after the DOI was announced to the world!
First, my hat is off to John F. Di Leo for this quote! I know the role of petty tyrant, how easy it is to become one, and how difficult it is to resist. I must add that in many cases the behavior is either requested or arises from a felt need. How many times have we heard, "There should be a law against that!" All too often, that call is answered. Sarbanes-Oxley (sp?), Dodd-Frank, the Federal Reserve, just to name a few among thousands. Now that we have them, and are bound by them, we know they were either wrong or over done. Until the individual, whether in a club, public board, commision, etc. has been called upon to "write a rule," can the individual begin to understand the complexity of doing so and the understanding that it might be better left alone. I've been there more than once. Done the deed with all the care I could muster. Heard the criticism. At times ignored it. At times revised the "rules." At times added a bunch more with misgivings. Always carried the scars and tried to learn from them. The Law of Un-intended Consequences is known to all who have labored in that vineyard. There is blame enough to go around on this. TJ had it right when he said, "That government is best which governs least." He had experience with the process. We have drifted away from the founding fathers' vision. I've always questioned the change on the method for electing US Senators as it neutered some/all of the rights given to the states. Texas' Gov. Perry's suggestions for changes to our Constitution should at the very least ignite a serious debate on the subject.
GBS has been a guiding light for much of what transpires in the delightful heritage that we all consider to be mainstream. This is not to say that he has not produced some controversy. If he hadn't, no one would pay attention to anything he said. What constantly amazes me about our heritage is how smoothly it is portrayed. Generally it starts in "the fertile crescent" and progresses through Israel, the Phonecians, Greeks, Romans, Dark Ages, The UK, The USA, and now. Not to suggest that the USA is over, but to hint that another change is in the works even as we speak. Hopefully, it will not be the UN!
This pretty much says it all for me. The key line in the 'preamble' that the Liberty of the individual is limited by the equal Liberty of all has to be understood. Ray may have missed this even as he described perfectly in a physical sense. Big government cannot grant or enforce this, it can only get in the way of it.
Mike has it exactly correct. Dealing with the necessities of life is the first focus for most people. Left alone, the vast majority if not all, will do their absolute best to survive and keep their family together. The problem begins when some agitator suggests that the problem they have can be blamed on someone else. This is appealing. It is how revolutions begin. It is the very reason that "fair share" is such an evil tactic today. When the people are incited to protest, riot, etc.; society is in trouble. Playing the blame game, as Obama delights in doing, cannot turn out well. Castro in Cuba is a tragedy we all watched. There was great popular support for the overthrow of the dictator Batista. The end result has only made things worse for the people of Cuba. Now we watch to see how the transition of power will take place. After the people fighting for the revolution bring it about by shedding their blood in the streets, some one else shows up and hijacks the revolution for different ends. Russia and Lenin is the classic.

Note: Factory automatically adds 12 inches to your window height for roller wrap at no charge.
it's easier than you think. We use the same 5-point measuring system for perfectly proportioned blinds every time. The steps below are for an inside mount and outside mount blinds. What's the difference? Inside mounts fit flush to the window opening and provide a cleaner look. Outside mounts can artificially make the window appear larger than it is. Measure twice, and we'll only have to cut once.
Step 1: Decide on whether you want to mount the window treatment inside the window recess (just the window opening) or outside on the wall or molding (overlapping the wall outside the window). For an inside mount continue to Step 2 and 3; for an outside mount continue to Step 4.
Step 2: Measure the width of the window first. Please measure the window opening—do not measure existing blinds—edge to edge. Mark the measurement "W" for width.
Step 3: Measure the height of the window opening and annotate it with an "H" for height.
+ Be precise: Measure to the nearest eighth of an inch, and don't round up or down.
+ Clearly indicate which number is the width and which is the height. We start with width and mark it with a "W," and "H" for height.
+ We will deduct 1/4″ from the measurements you send so that the blinds do not touch the window frame. Do not deduct this when you measure.

Q: Why do we pass in a first/second anonymous argument in a mock test? I am quite new to decorators, and I am using it in mocking a function; can someone kindly explain the following:
class TestTSE(...):
    ...
    @patch.object(TSESubparser, 'parse_er_data', return_value=None)
        def test_receive_timestamp(self, mock_parse_er_data_to_nothing):

            packet = MagicMock(capture_timestamp=123456)
            self.on_packet(packet)
            assert self.context.capture_tstamp == 123456

*

*I don't quite understand why we are passing a second argument mock_parse_er_data_to_nothing. I tried running the test without it and it fails.

*I understand that we can call this function anything that we want? - why is this. And it is advisable that it starts with mock

B.C. court rules in favour of dad seeking power to immunize his children
SALMON ARM , B.C. — A judge says the father of two boys has the right to ensure his children receive necessary immunizations and dental treatments, despite objections from the children's mother.
B.C. provincial court Judge Stella Frame says the father should have sole responsibility for medical and dental treatments for his two young sons.
The boy's parents, who are only identified by initials, ended their relationship around 2017. The father went to court after the mother refused consent for certain vaccinations and opposed dental x-rays, resulting in extensive dental work for the older boy.
During court proceedings, the mother offered a report from Dr. Toni Lynn Bark, an American who describes herself as an expert in the study of adverse vaccine reactions. In her judgment, Frame says Bark admits the field is unrecognized by medical professionals.
Frame instead accepts most of the material provided by the father, including two B.C. Supreme Court rulings. She says the father must keep the mother informed but is now responsible for all the boys' medical and dental treatments.
Frame's decision, delivered at the end of December, highlights the ongoing battle between those who support childhood vaccinations against infectious diseases, such as measles, mumps and whooping cough, and those who question vaccine safety.
In rejecting the mother's submission of Bark's report and the doctor's qualification as an expert in what is called vaccine adversomics, Frame sides with public health officials, writing "the current best evidence is that vaccination is preferable to non-vaccination."
"It is difficult to know whether this is junk science or a recognized emerging field," Frame wrote of Bark's report on adversomics, adding that the document sounds more "like a conspiracy theory" as it is presented.
Frame takes special aim at the report's claim that targeted infectious diseases pose a low risk to the population, while vaccine trials produce a high number of adverse effects.
"One of the diseases that (Bark) claimed is very low risk to contract is measles. That is simply not the case," Frame wrote.
Her judgment quotes from a 2012 B.C. Supreme Court decision examining the question of immunization. The ruling relied on expert Dr. David Scheifele, a leading B.C. pediatrician specializing in childhood diseases.
"If overall vaccination rates slip, infections previously held at bay can return to cause outbreaks among susceptible children and adults," Scheifele testified, adding that measles or chicken pox infections are often worse in unvaccinated teens or adults.
In giving the father sole control of his boys' medical and dental needs, Frame says both are healthy and active. They are also not among a small group of patients who should not be vaccinated due to weakened immune systems, illness or other issues, she added.
Vaccination of the majority is required in order to protect those who cannot be vaccinated, wrote Frame.
"Any adverse reaction the person may have from the vaccine is largely outweighed by the risk of contracting the targeted disease."

Thomas Stamm (* 19. Februar 1983 in Zürich) ist ein ehemaliger Schweizer Fussballspieler und heutiger -trainer. Seit 2021 trainiert er die zweite Mannschaft des SC Freiburg in der Dritten Liga.

Karriere

Als Spieler
Thomas Stamm ist der Sohn eines Schweizer Vaters und einer deutschen Mutter und stammt aus Schleitheim im Kanton Schaffhausen. In seiner Jugend spielte er zunächst beim FC Schleitheim, später beim FC Schaffhausen und dem FC Winterthur. Im Herrenbereich spielte Stamm als rechter Aussenbahnspieler in der Saison 2001/02 ein Jahr lang in der zweiten Mannschaft des Grasshopper Club Zürich, ehe er 2002 wieder zum FC Winterthur zurückkehrte, bei dessen Profimannschaft er sich in der Folge mehrere Jahre lang als Stammspieler in der Challenge League etablieren konnte. In der Rückrunde der Saison 2006/07 verlor er seinen Stammplatz und schloss sich anschliessend im Sommer 2007 seinem anderen ehemaligen Jugendverein, dem Ligakonkurrenten FC Schaffhausen an. In seiner ersten Saison dort kam Stamm über einen Reservistenstatus ebenfalls nicht hinaus, konnte sich in der folgenden Spielzeit 2008/09 jedoch wieder als Stammspieler durchsetzen. Nach schweren Verletzungen beendete er 2010 zunächst seine Spielerkarriere; von 2013 bis 2014 war er später noch ein Jahr lang für den unterklassigen SV Schaffhausen aktiv.

Als Trainer
Bereits ab 2009 war Stamm parallel zu seiner Tätigkeit als Spieler beim FC Schaffhausen dort auch als Nachwuchskoordinator tätig. 2011 wechselte er in den Jugendbereich des FC Winterthur und wurde Trainer von dessen U18-Jugendmannschaft. Parallel dazu war er ab 2014 auch als Co-Trainer der Schweizer U15-Nationalmannschaft an der Seite von Yves Débonnaire tätig. Von 2015 bis 2016 war er mit Débonnaire in gleicher Konstellation für die U16-Auswahl tätig.

Ab 2015 arbeitete Stamm in Deutschland für den SC Freiburg und übernahm die U19-Jugendmannschaft des Vereins, zunächst bis 2016 parallel zu seiner Tätigkeit für den SFV. Ausserdem absolvierte er ab 2015 beim SFV gemeinsam mit unter anderem Johann Vogel, Gerardo Seoane, Marco Walker oder Raphael Wicky den Lehrgang zum Erwerb der UEFA-Pro-Lizenz als Fussballtrainer, die er daraufhin im Februar 2017 erhielt. Mit der U19-Mannschaft der Breisgauer gewann Stamm 2018 den DFB-Pokal der Junioren. Im Sommer 2021 berief der SC Freiburg Stamm als neuen Trainer der zweiten Mannschaft des Vereins, die unter seinem Vorgänger Christian Preußer gerade in die Dritte Liga aufgestiegen war.
