Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains Episode 10
After weeding out all the strong players, the Villains finally got rid of some dead weight in Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains Episode 9. The real story was that JT threw his hidden immunity idol away by giving it to an enemy, Russell of all people.
Treemail sends the Villains with a map to the Heroes camp and a key.
Russell's story is that he didn't do as instructed just in case both he and Parvati played idols. This is not going to be a hard sell to JT, who just assumes that both Russell and Parvati played idols before even hearing a word.
Nobody is surprised to find out they are merging. Jerri suggests naming their tribe All Villains.
Parvati realizes that nobody wants her there either.
Sandra's got a reality check for Rupert, one he'll consider cashing if he wants to survive. Whatever Russell says, he's lying. I'm still struggling to identify who to root for here. The Heroes are a bunch of idiots, but Russell needs to be knocked down a few pegs.
Rupert is now becoming the voice of reason. JT refuses to believe Russell hasn't flipped. Even Amanda doesn't believe it, and I thought she was the smart one. Their plan is to vote for somebody other than who they tell Russell they're voting for. That's about as far as they're willing to go to humor Rupert.
Amanda warns Parvati what she already knows: everybody wants her gone. After Amanda promises to be really honest with her, Parvati has to tell her something. She has an idol, which Amanda interprets to mean she's got another idol. As much as Amanda may possibly be willing to work with Parvati, neither of them fully trust each other, and Amanda views Parvati as a threat to beat her (again).
The new tribe name turns out to be Yin-Yang.
Individual immunity is now what they seek. Last person hanging on a pole wins. JT, Candice, and Parvati have all competed in this challenge previously. This will probably go to a woman. Amanda, Colby, and Sandra start off quickly inching down their poles. Sandra and Colby are the first ones eliminated. Russell is the next one down. Rupert's out next. 20 minutes elapse before Amanda is eliminated. JT drops next. After an hour and a half, Parvati's just hanging around getting a tan. Jerri is the next one down. Candice, Parvati, and Danielle all remain at the top. Candice wishes them luck as she goes to step down. Before she steps down, Jeff asks why seeing as he considers her the odds on favorite. Her reasoning: they look like they could go for a while. Danielle ain't giving up. Parvati already has an idol that Danielle wouldn't mind her burning. So Parvati agrees to drop. Danielle wins immunity. Perhaps not the strategically best move, but better safe three more days than possibly not I suppose.
The Heroes will be voting for Sandra or Jerri but plan to tell Russell they're going to get rid of Parvati.
Sandra realizes she's stuck with Russell for now, whether she likes it or not.
Russell's plan is to give his idol to Parvati again. Well, she doesn't need one since she's already got one, but she could always use a second.
Amanda tells Parvati she'd better play that idol, just in case, which Parvati can tell is a lie.
So who are the Villains voting for? Whatever they do, they should plan to be a united front for a change. Russell's target is his new buddy JT.
Rupert hopes this vote reveals Russell to be a liar.
Parvati hands her idol over to Sandra. Interesting. Too bad she picked the wrong person since the Heroes targeted Jerri, believing that she's the least likely person to receive an idol from someone. The Heroes smile realizing the error in Parvati's ways. Oh, but it ain't over yet. Jerri, you can have one, too. Okay, hard not to be a Parvati fan after that. Within 5 seconds, she outsmarted all the Heroes while keeping her side safe, made Amanda realize she's not a convincing enough liar, secured some goodwill from Jerri and Sandra, and knocked Russell off his high horse.
Jerri (does not count)
One of the best tribal councils ever. With 3 votes, JT has been voted off the island. He got himself served. He's learned not to trust Villains. Or women.
Having kept Russell in the dark, despite the fact that her plan saved the day, Parvati now has some explaining to do about her little secret.
Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains Episode 11, which airs Thursday at 8/7c on CBS.

Looking To Buy ? Looking To Sell ?
From a Noble Industrial Past to a Vibrant New Community
37 years on from the National Coal Board closing Orgreave Colliery - one of Europe's biggest mining operations. An innovative enterprise zone has been created for modern manufacturing and technology to form a new residential and business community.
A politically sensitive area, which gained national notoriety when coal miners picketed and clashed with the South Yorkshire Police known as the 'Battle of Orgreave' between 1984 and 1985. The area now known as Waverley, is currently undergoing a period of substantial geographic change and economic growth to create Yorkshire's largest sustainable mixed-use development.
The 740-acre brown field site gained outline planning permission, in 2010, for a 100 million pound project to create 4,000 new homes within 250 acres. 200 acres of the site will also be allocated for public spaces including two large lakes, woodlands and children's play areas. 2017 saw the approval of a further 12-acre development site to create Waverley Square - a 50 million pound retail, office and leisure park, which will generate approximately 700 jobs.
The catalyst for the Waverley Development is the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), who have collaborated with prestigious manufacturing companies such as Boeing to relocate to Sheffield along with Rolls Royce, Dormer, Mclaren and over 40 other companies who have a base at the Advanced Manufacturing Park.
Subsequent relocations of employees have contributed to the local economy and have played a pivotal role in the
success of Waverley and its community. The varied selection of suitable housing has also enticed local professionals to move to the outskirts of Rotherham and Sheffield. The development appears to have created a recipe for success with the provision of suitable amenities within a desirable location and providing easy commutes between major Northern conurbations and the UK as a whole.
The property and development company behind the scheme, Harworth Estates have created a diverse style of housing, ranging from five bedroomed detached executive homes to apartments and affordable housing. Sections of the overall site have been tendered-out to established developers such as Barratt Homes, Taylor Wimpey, Avant Homes and Harron Homes who have designed and constructed contemporary, quality homes. The popularity of the scheme and the general desire to live here has returned some homeowners with an increase in excess of £100,000 to the initial value of their property, since construction began in 2012.
To put it simply, the UK is not producing enough new housing to meet the demands for a growing and ageing population. Perhaps Waverley can be seen as an innovative approach to act positively towards the housing crisis, catering to the needs of a specific demographic and providing a welcomed boost to the home construction industry.
Once the full construction of Waverley is complete, there is expected to be a thriving community totalling around 9,000 people along with the creation of approximately 3,500 jobs whilst adding 300 million pounds to the local economy.

It's that time of year again when the weather's a bit drab and it seems to rain a lot! It's hard getting out for fresh air when it's like this or even just finding something to do. You're also trying to get back to some sort of routine and keep the kids, and yourself, from going mad. My two just end up fighting if they're left alone for too long and we all start arguing with each other. It's not great.
So to help out other families in a similar situation I've put together a little list of things to do on a rainy day in Fife. It'll get yourself and the kids out of the house and stop you from slowly losing your mind at the same time. Read on for some fun ideas of places to visit.
We love a little visit to St Andrews Aquarium as there's always something happening. They have a lovely timetable of events throughout the day including reptile handling, animal feeds and animals talks. You can event book an animal encounter and feeds the Penguins, Seals or Meerkats! I would absolutely love do be in beside the Meerkats, they're so cute.
Who doesn't love a bit of crazy golf and the fab thing about Adventure Golf Island in Dunfermline is that it's all covered up by a big dome. So no getting wet and cold out in the horrid weather. I still haven't been here with the kids yet but I bet they'd love it. It seems quite reasonably priced as well and they always have a special offer on the go.
Another great indoor venue to visit is Hollywood Bowl in Dunfermline. They have plenty of bowling lanes so good chances of getting one booked, but feel free to book online in advanced, and they also have lots of different arcade machines to play on. Sometimes we'll go along just for them and not do any bowling at all. It can be expensive but if you set a limit, have fun then grab some food afterwards it can be a lovely day out.
We currently have an annual pass to Deep Sea World so seem to frequent it all the time. I'd highly recommend purchasing an annual pass as it works out at excellent value compared to just one visit. with the pass I don't mind popping in for an hour at a time but wouldn't fancy paying the single price every time I go. So definitely but the pass, it's well worth it especially when Deep Sea World have all their amazing events like the Fossil Hunters and Meet the Mermaid. There is of course a fun packed day of animals talks and animal encounters and why not book in to dive with the sharks!
Sometimes all you need is a good movie to get you through a boring day so why not visit the Odeon in Dunfermline. They have a wide variety of films to choose from and they also have a little Costa built into them now which is perfect. Go for a coffee (or tasty hot chocolate), relax and people watch before heading in to see your movie. I've already been to see Aquaman and Bumblebee with Logan.
If you haven't been to Muddy Boots yet then you're missing out. As well as all their outdoor activities they also have a massive new indoor area which has been built. It houses a lovely new cafe and soft play for the kids. It means that no matter what the weather you can still visit and have some fun.
The Cermaic Cafe is a small little venue in Dunfermline but it's great to get the kids crafting and paint some cute pottery to take home. It has a tiny soft play more advised for little children and babies. They do a mean hot chocolate which I'd highly recommend and they also have some adult pottery painting nights which are a big hit so book in quick. Check out their Facebook page for details.
My son had his birthday here in December and it's totally amazing fun. Can't highly recommend the Xtreme Trampoline Park enough. You have to be 5 years old or over to jump in the main area but there's a small jump area for younger kids which my daughter goes on. Adults can jump as well and it's a great work out. Perfect for getting fit now the new year is here.
Life wouldn't be complete without a quick look around the fish display in Dobbies as it's free. My daughter loves it and then we get a cake from the cafe and have fun in the newly built soft play. It can get a bit busy though just to warn you.
If you have any ideas on what to do with the kids on a particularly rainy day here in Fife then please do let me know as I'm always looking. It's nice to take the kids somewhere different now and again as they get bored of the same thing so easily.


We provide biochar and biochar advice to farms. We are currently working with River Cottage, George Thompson Ltd, and Oxford University Parks. We supply biochar and set up trials to quantify the benefits of biochar in terms of increased productivity and decreased use of synthetic fertilizers. We can advise you on climate smart agriculture and how to maximise the productivity of your organic soil using this ancient organic farming practice.
All our products are 100% organic, approved for use at River Cottage by the Soil Association, carbon negative and locally sourced, ensuring your organic patch is truly climate-smart. Please contact us if you would like to stock Oxford Biochar.
Oxford Biochar bags of pure biochar, available in 3 kg & 10 kg.
Please note: these are 100% biochar, not a compost mix. Mix pure biochar to home made or commercial composts for best results, or directly to soil if you just want to improve the quality of your soil. We do not add mycorrhizae or fertilizers to our biochar, as soils harbour different species of mycorrhizae and have different nutrient deficiencies to cater for.
coupled with vigorous root development when biochar was added to the soil.
- Significantly enhances plant growth & root development.
- Boosts plant nutrient retention.
- Improves soil structure and stability.
- Improves soil water holding capacity & permeability.
- Raises soil pH (i.e. reduces soil acidity).
- Retains nitrogen and phosphorus in the soil.
- Helps healthy activity of soil microfauna & flora.
- Provides refuge for microrhizae, for healthy roots.
- Suppresses odours & breaks down pollutants.
Oxford Biochar is sourced locally using excellent quality agricultural waste. By using 1kg of biochar, you are putting 800 g of carbon back into the soil for thousands of years, helping you reduce your carbon footprint.
Fertilizer production is the biggest source of greenhouse gas emission from the UK farming industry. The use of biochar restores soil fertility for thousands of years, sinificantly reducing the need for fertilisers and herbicides.
Biochar-rich soils prevent methane and nitrogen emissions from the soil (potent greenhouse gasses).
We are committed to ensuring the use of our products will result in quantifiable emissions reductions. So all our products are Carbon Neutral. One bag of pure biochar contains 1.2 kg of carbon, so your carbon footprint will be reduced by burying it into the soil.

Because skydiving isn't in the mainstream, you may be unaware of just how many celebrities in the world love skydiving! Some of the biggest names in entertainment are licensed jumpers or at the very least have made one tandem skydive. Let's begin with the A-listers who can't get enough of our sport!
CELEBRITY SKYDIVERS
Is Tom Cruise even real or is he some crazy robot? This guy seems to do everything from flying helicopters to actively skydiving. Cruise is well-known to do his own stunts which included one of the most famous skydiving scenes in Hollywood history. In Mission Impossible: Fallout, Cruise made over 100 training skydives in preparation for the night HALO jumps being done over Dubai. Below is a behind the scenes look at all that went into the making of the iconic scene:
Tom Cruise and James Corden
During the promotion of Mission Impossible: Fallout Cruise famously took James Corden skydiving with our friends at Skydive Perris in California for a tandem skydive. This skydiving sequence is arguably one of the funniest skydives ever shot. Enjoy the hilarity!
If you missed the high-altitude balloon stunt, Ascension with David Blaine, you may want to check it out here. His YouTube video has generated over 22 million views! To us, what was more impressive was the preparation for the stunt. Blaine made over 500 skydives to gain the license needed for him to make Ascension a reality. Also of interest is the camera flyer featured in this video happens to be the same one used with Tom Cruise for both the Mission Impossible jump and Corden jump – the legendary Craig O'Brien.
Perhaps one of the most famous celebrity skydivers is Will Smith. Smith has made multiple tandem jumps and even took his entire family for a tandem jump at Skydive Dubai. You can get a sense of Will Smith's passion for jumping when he recounted his experience in front of a live audience:
In this video, Will Smith talks to Ellen about taking his wife Jada Pinkett Smith skydiving for his 50th birthday (how is Will Smith over 50?).
Patrick Swayze died in 2009 but his spirit lives on especially in the skydiving community. Few other people in the world have done more for the sport of skydiving than Patrick Swayze and the movie Point Break. While not all the skydiving scenes in Point Break were real (there's a very famous multi-minute jump that's not exactly accurate), Patrick was a legit skydiver. During the shooting of the movie, Patrick would routinely go skydiving during his spare time which would anger the producers for fear that if something happened to him the entire movie could be put in jeopardy. Despite their concerns, Swayze did a lot of jumps anyway. The underground success of Point Break and its amazing skydiving scenes inspired tens of thousands of people to take up the sport. Some of the sports highest achievers were inspired by Point Break.
Travis Pastrana is the ultimate stunt junkie and it should come as no surprise that Pastrana has done his fair share of skydiving. Below is Pastrana's jump into Nitro City in Panama. Not a bad gig if you can get it!
If you don't follow F1 racing then you may not be familiar with one of the most famous athletes on the planet outside of the US – Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton is one of the most exciting and successful race car drivers in F1 history (he just tied Michael Schumacher's record for most World Drivers Championships. Schumacher used to be an active skydiver, himself). Of skydiving Lewis shared this on Instagram:
This is my fav thing to do currently. The reason I skydive is I love that there are really no limits in free fall. It's incredible to just let your mind free, remove all doubt and any insecurities you may be feeling in life and jump. I think in life many of us don't take that leap because of fear, something of which holds us back from greatness. You can do anything you put your mind to. I was nervous the first time but this has helped me to let go of many things and go for the things I love. Don't let fear dictate your life. You can do anything you put your mind to I truly believe that 🙏🏾
Miley Cyrus is another star that joined the ranks of famous skydivers when she made her tandem skydive a few years ago. Here's a video of her experience:
If you love country music then you're fully aware that Thomas Rhett went skydiving! He loved the experience so much that it got heavy play in his awesome music video for his song "Vacation." As a sidenote, Thomas didn't throw up after his jump (at least we hope not…)
Travis Rhett isn't the only celebrity who has featured skydiving in a music video. Caillat jumped with our friends at Skydive Newport in Rhode Island and featured the entire event in her music video for the song Live It Up. It's a catchy tune with a great video:
Maisie Williams (Arya Stark)
Remember Arya Stark of Game of Thrones (she was our favorite character!). Maisie made a skydive for charity in England and absolutely loved her experience. https://youtu.be/nT2u3pZ0rbw
We hope you've enjoyed the skydiving version of People Magazine! We had a great time putting this piece together of some of our favorite stars who skydive. Other stars who jump but we couldn't source videos for are Tiger Woods (he got his A-license many years ago) and actor Sean Penn.
If you'd like to make a skydive, your entry point is with a tandem skydive. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact us!
Jack Harding – Fredericksburg, VA
I can't imagine learning how to skydive at any other drop zone.


Everyone knows a home's characteristics and improvements will make or crack a selling. But in terms of selling your property, you need to find out that its not all home-improvements are manufactured equal.
Even though some home advancements are worth enough time and money which you put directly into them, many is not going to change lives and will hurt the resale benefit.
Home advancements and refurbishments that will not match the home's authentic style can be quite a huge blunder. So changing your region home using a super modern look may well not appeal in your target industry. Differing styles in just a home is likely to make it a smaller amount appealing regarding buyers to get it.
Don't move crazy along with your decorations. Making use of wild shades, outlandish accessories and special fabrics could be more of your deterrent to potential buyers when an individual sell your property. So if you believe your home can be your ultimate canvass, remember you may have to tone almost everything down if it is time to offer. The a lot more unique your property is, the a smaller amount appealing it'll be to the particular masses, of course, if you care to have your residence sold to find the best dollar, you'll tune in to the people.
Engineering is transforming fast. Chances are usually that whatever high tech gadget an individual install at home today, will probably be obsolete from the time an individual sell your property. Remember when individuals were wiring their particular homes regarding internet?? Today everything will be wireless. Many of us have every one of these extra retailers reminding us individuals grand ideas.
Although some families have got someone which works from your home at least in your free time, a full office remodel can be quite a hurdle to be able to other makes use of for beneficial square video. Avoid custom made bookcase installation and heavy built-ins which can be difficult and also expensive to eliminate when an individual sell your property.
Just like cheap and also unique things can challenge your purchase, so can easily overly pricey ones. We've noticed sellers that have spent $200, 000 about lavish private pools, landscaping and also hardscape, only to acquire a 30% return on their investment. So in order to go outrageous and devote a wine beverages cellar, green upgrades plus a pool measured Jacuzzi, don't assume the buyers to find out the benefit in just what you've completed. There is a positive change between any buyer liking everything you did, and paying everything you spent for your improvement.
Transforming an income room in to a large cooking area isn't always your better bet. Altering any room's function can be a big risk although it's great to improve your space in your needs, others might find it hard to manage or also harder that will put a value about it. If you are likely to stay there to get a shorter moment, consider the essential functionality customers will assume.
Upgrading the roof any time it simply needs fixes and replacing your domestic plumbing systems once you only will need few sections are just a couple of examples regarding improvements that mean big money you will never reunite. Instead, do your entire routine servicing items and allow the next operator decide just what major improvements to produce. Remember, away from sight, away from mind.
If you want to experiment together with paint shades and individualized patterns, understand that much with this may turn to "out regarding date" regarding buyers. It is not personal, it's Real-estate. When you you will need to sell make sure you keep residence interiors neutral in order that potential buyers provide an appealing canvas to find out their very own vision of your home.
Fun rooms you've always wanted, but other folks rarely will need, can accumulate the expense of a residence that other folks cannot manage. A invitee room or perhaps bathroom might be OK. But quit and think prior to deciding to spend lots of money on your own media or perhaps recreational rooms your buyers won't buy. These rooms ensure it is harder to offer and raise the price upwards unnecessarily.
It's a very important factor to attempt to save funds on jobs, however, it's really another to accomplish a sub-par job. Bear in mind, when customers walk through your property, they are including what it is going to cost these to redo everything you didn't carry out correctly. When you can't really afford to accomplish a venture right, don't take action at almost all. Also, projects beginning shouldn't be on the list of features while you're trying to offer.
We've noticed these in lots of homes, typically in sub-par condition. Recommended, but while they go untouched they generally seems to wear out there faster. Many buyers will dsicover these since lost options for valuable yard or any drain about home vitality efficiency. I've noticed many sunshine rooms which can be turned directly into storage bedrooms, and are generally way also hot, or perhaps cold. As an alternative, keep porches properly maintained and also remember, a traditional outdoor area is a lot more flexible and attracting buyers.
Even inside markets the location where the weather will be sweltering hot a lot of the year, you'll not recoup the investment. In lots of areas, a pool can be a detriment and also turns people away from your home. Especially when you have teenagers living in the home and they might rather see a mall than swimming. Never put in a pool thinking it's going to improve the worth of your property.
There can be a difference among manicured landscaping design and extraordinary landscaping. If the landscaping will be too extraordinary, the customer will initially want it but they are going to quickly start thinking about the time and also cost to keep up a garden paradise. Retain it basic, easy to manage with shade and influence. Be positive to spotlight water-wise irrigation systems once you market your property.

COLUMBUS – Executives of 10 of 17 manufacturing companies whose workers have won a new award established by Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel have donated to Republican candidates, including Mandel himself, an Associated Press review has found.
Award recipients themselves are mostly registered Democrats or independents, and many belong to Democratic-leaning unions.
Campaign finance filings reviewed by the AP show Mandel's re-election campaign received donations from executives at three of the firms within weeks of their skilled-trades employees being recognized. One executive said his contribution was solicited.
The findings raise questions about whether Mandel is using the nonmonetary Ohio Strong Award he launched in March to reward and attract political contributors as he faces Democratic state Rep. Connie Pillich this fall.
Mandel said Thursday that any cross-section of American businesses tends to lean Republican at the top and that's not what the program is about. He said politics "never, never" came up in the award selection.
"I'm sick and tired of CEOs and executives always getting the credit when companies are doing well, and I think it's about time that we recognize the workers who are actually operating machines and working on the floor of the plants," he said. The treasurer's office says it used a nonpartisan list of manufacturers provided by a national organization, word-of-mouth recommendations and eventually online nominations to pick winners.
Mandel launched the program March 24 — citing a "quiet crisis" of disappearing skilled workers — and gave the first awards that same day, after cold-calling companies. Winners get plant visits by Mandel, a written commendation and almost always local newspaper coverage.
Mandel honored 49 individuals at 15 companies before an unsolicited online nominee was chosen. Spokesman Chris Berry said 11 online nominees have now been selected. Taxpayer costs for the program are minimal.
Firms contacted by the AP said they were cold-called by the treasurer's office and asked to identify noteworthy employees.
John Bacon, president of Sandusky-based Mack Iron Works, said he was surprised by the call.
Bacon's company is among five winners whose executives don't show up in state or federal donation databases.
Executives at nine manufacturers with Ohio Strong workers — including Toledo Metal Spinning, Youngstown's Taylor-Winfield and Elyria-based Ohio Screw — had varied histories of generosity to GOP candidates and causes before the program started. A tenth firm's leader gave afterward. One firm's leader gave to Democrats, and another large firm, Phoenix International in Bowling Green, had political givers to both parties.
The president of GOP-donating PR Machine Works in Mansfield is Mark Romanchuk, a first-term Republican state representative. He and wife, Zoi, have donated $3,000 to Mandel.
Larry Lewark, CEO of Lewark Metal, and Leo Hawk, chairman emeritus of American Trim, gave $250 and $1,000 respectively to Mandel's campaign in mid-April, after having employees honored.
Hawk and wife Arlene have given over $600,000 to GOP candidates and causes over the years, including a combined $26,000 to Mandel.
The third executive, Rose Metal Industries president Bob Rose, said a fundraiser soliciting donations for Mandel's campaign called about three weeks after four of his employees were honored. Mandel said he doesn't know who made the call.
Bacon and Rose embraced the goal of Ohio Strong, saying U.S. manufacturers are struggling to find workers to replace baby boomers retiring from skilled jobs in welding and other trades.

The Painted Lady (Vanessa Cardui) arrives in the UK from Africa every year. This year (2009) saw a mass migration with millions of butterflies arriving in the UK over the May Bank Holiday aided by the unusually warm weather, it was believed to be the largest migration seen in this country since the 1960s.
The Painted Lady Butterfly is a beautiful specimen with a forewing that bears a distinct white bar. The hind wing has a row of 5 tiny black dots while the upper side of the freshly emerged butterfly is orange with rose-like overtones. The underside is a spotted gray, brown, and black.
The butterflies have sensors on their wings that need the sun to fly. These creatures are solar powered and they are active during the day. They have tiny scales on their wings that give them their color.
The Painted Lady has a metamorphosis period of about one month, that's from being an egg to a caterpillar to a butterfly.
The Egg stage: The female lays many pale-green eggs in a row on a leaf, after a seven-day period the baby caterpillars are ready to hatch, they eat their way out of the egg and then eat the shell.
The Larva stage: The caterpillar spends its life eating; as it grows bigger it sheds its old skin and emerges with a new body. After two weeks of being a caterpillar it attaches itself with silk thread and hangs upside down from a leaf. After about twenty-four hours the caterpillar's skin will split exposing the pupa.
The Pupa Stage: After the pupa is exposed to air for about an hour it hardens, it is bronze in color and hangs with no movement for one week. Inside the pupa the caterpillar is changing its body into a butterfly.
The Butterfly Stage: The butterfly hangs on the leaf for about an hour while its wings straighten out. It has a head, thorax, abdomen and four wings. It also has six legs, however only four are used. The butterfly also has two eyes made up of 10,000 lenses. The butterfly's tongue, known as a proboscis, is used to drink nectar. It can also hear with the two antennae attached to its head, taste through its feet and breath through the side of its body.

Modern SE Portland house with towering interior atrium and steel cold plunge for sale at $2,222,000
Even a traditionalist could fall for a concrete-and-glass dwelling with a towering interior atrium. Fieldwork Design & Architecture planned for the three-level house in Southeast Portland to draw in natural light and provide a sense of openness without sacrificing the need for privacy.
People passing by 3112 S.E. 36th Ave. in the Richmond neighborhood see stacked cubes shrouded in vertical, dark-wood slats. Beyond the front door is a living room with floor-to-ceiling windows, a kitchen with a slide-away glass wall and, in between the two rooms, a black steel staircase illuminated by daylight streaming through a series of skylights.
Strategically placed windows allow even more sunlight to enter at different times of day, "creating exciting and moving shadows on the concrete floors and smooth walls," said Calle Holmgren of Friday and Company, a real estate broker charged with finding the first occupant of the new home.
"This is not your run-of-the-mill modern," he said.
The aptly named Atrium House is for sale at $2,222,000. The price includes custom furnishings by Portland-based Fieldwork, a studio team of sustainably minded architecture and furniture experts.
Fieldwork designers have enhanced environments with bridges in Portland's Forest Park as well as wineries surrounded by vineyards and tiny homes in urban settings.
Here, the owner will have a coffee table fashioned from a cherry tree salvaged from the 3,049-square-foot property. Fieldwork also made black kitchen counter stools and a washed ash dining table.
Concrete planters filled with oversized foliage and a spa area with a cedar ceiling and floor on the lower level support the designers' goal of creating a tranquil, greenery-rich retreat within the predominately black-and-white residence.
The black steel tub in the spa can be used as a hot tub or a cold plunge, said Holmgren.
The custom modern house, built by Benjamin Jefferson-Dow of Capsule Development, has 2,885 square feet of living space. There is a rotating Rais fireplace, a home theater with a Yamaha MusicCast Receiver, and each of the three bedrooms has a sundeck.
Brazilian Maori granite dramatically dominates the kitchen; the black stone with wide white veins tops the island, breakfast bar, counters and the wall-sized backsplash.
Ash cabinetry, charred in a handsome Shou Sugi Ban technique, and custom light fixtures by Lambert & Fils complete the sophisticated aesthetic.
A Bertazzoni gas range and paneled Fisher & Paykel refrigerator and dishwasher are some of the top-tier appliances.
The primary suite has extended places to relax, from the reading nook to the private deck. The suite's spa-like bathroom has a soaking tub and granite-surround shower.
"The house is the perfect alternative to a condo but without the hassle of having to park in a garage or having homeowners association dues of $1,000 or more per month," said Holmgren.
He said a discriminating buyer could acquire the dwelling, completed in 2021, and streamline the process of owning a high-end custom home without having to buy a lot, hire a builder, architect and designer, then work through permits and wait two to four years to move in.
"Rather, they can buy the Atrium House and then have customizations done by the builder to their liking," he said.
An owner could add storage in the garage, built-in bookshelves in the living room or fully enclose the office loft on the stair landing with glass doors to let in light from six sides, "but allow for private phone and Zoom calls," he said.
Entertaining outside could be easy: Sliding-glass pocket doors open a back wall to the patio. Landscaping and decks were designed to be low maintenance, "allowing the owners to come and go as they please," said Holmgren.

India has already discussed the qualification requirement for health workers in UK, a sub-working group will be set up between India and Germany to decide on the future course of action.

The Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell sagas have finally run their course, and the result leaves a ton of production up for grabs in Pittsburgh's offense. The most exciting result could be the emergence of JuJu Smith-Schuster as one of the most productive receivers in football. He's already coming off a huge second season in which he upped his numbers across the board and actually tallied 7 more catches and over 100 more yards than Brown. Already a top-10 fantasy wideout in 2018, JuJu is now up to WR6 on The Wolf's Big Board and could even be a first round pick for 2019.
AB only missed 3 games over his last 2 seasons in Pittsburgh, so we have a limited sample size of what Smith-Schuster can do as the #1 option. But his numbers in those games still show a ton of promise.
Even with Brown putting up his usual gaudy numbers, JuJu was top-10 in targets, receptions, yards, and YAC. Now that Brown's 168 targets are available and the Steelers haven't done much to replace his production — no offense to Donte Moncrief or Eli Rogers — JuJu may be ready to put himself in the upper echelon of NFL receivers at just 22 years old. At the very least, he thinks he's ready.

For over 20 years our paths crossed almost daily when he was walking his dog and I was either riding my bike or running in the days before my knee said enough. He had two dogs during those 20 plus years. He didn't walk for a while after his first dog died. I missed them. I was happy to see him back with his newly adopted friend.
In all that time we never spoke more than a comment or two about the weather or some other silly thing, yet he and his dog became part of my daily rhythm. They could be counted on when other things couldn't. He, with his jaunty little walk, and his faithful lab marching along beside him. It gave me a comfort I couldn't understand to see them pass each day.
Then one day, he wasn't jaunty anymore. His chin began to drop until after a few short months it became attached to his chest. He couldn't raise his head or talk and a friendly greeting was met with a grunt. Drool soaked the front of his chest and he wasted away before our eyes.
ALS, or so he told us before he was no longer able to speak. Still, he walked. His pace became snail-like, but twice a day, no matter what, he and his dog walked by our house. Until they didn't. And that's when I knew.
Somehow, someway, a vacant house calls out to you, telling you it's lonely. This week his house called out to me. It might have had something to do with the dumpster in the driveway, the lack of footprints in the snow, and its darkness now at night. He's not there, and neither is his dog.
I feel a tremendous sense of loss for this man, who I barely knew. It's like a song off key with no beat or rhythm.

All hands on deck. Chop, sauté and present your dishes to the other guests. Please bring the constituent ingredients to make a dish that triggers memories of times abroad, or gifts received as a cultural tourist. An opportunity to exchange food and stories. Discussion around ethics, sustainability, hospitality and reciprocity are all tabled for discussion.
Food can conjure images, arouse, mend social wounds and build bridges of friendship. When we travel, dining is an integral part of entering into and understanding cultures new and being accepted into the tribe. For an evening during Glasgow International, guests will bring ingredients to cook, present and share dishes once experienced abroad at events relating to work or in the pursuit of cultural tourism. Be it in Venice, Tokyo, Berlin, Glasgow, Johannesburg, London, or New Orleans, art fairs, biennials and artist residencies abound and as such they are nodes of cultural tourism. Not surprisingly, they are also melting pots for cuisine and conversation around the dining table.
International travel may broaden the mind and create new connections both socially and professionally, but what are the considerations? Is such globe-trotting economically or environmentally sustainable? You do not have to be an excellent chef to participate, but a gourmand you should be. Collaboration encouraged.
This is an open event, but if you would like to attend, please bring food to cook and any unusual equipment that you foresee will be needed to assemble the dish. And please do BYOB, food is all the better served with lubrication.

American Airlines Unveils Third Daily Flight to Barbados from Miami
Barbados Tourism Marketing
Following a year of record-breaking growth, Barbados anticipates an even larger influx of U.S. visitors with the latest uptick in flight service to the country. This month, American Airlines, the largest airline carrier in the United States, unveiled its newest routes, which include a third daily flight from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI). Commencing December 19, 2018, the new route will hinge on Barbados ascension as the Caribbean destination du jour. In 2017, Barbados welcomed 188,970 U.S. visitors – a 30 year high and the country is showing no signs of slowing down.
"The U.S.A is a very important growth market for Barbados and the commitment we've seen from our airline partners to increase and enhance flight options is backing this trend," said Barbados' Minister of Tourism and International Transport, the Honourable Richard Sealy. "As we know, ease and accessibility are primary drivers for customers' consideration of a destination, and with this increased service from the Miami gateway, we anticipate even more success with visitor arrivals from the USA market."
High-level airline partnerships have been a cornerstone effort for Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. (BTMI), and this latest announcement is testament to this strategy.
"We're thrilled to continue growing our presence in Barbados this coming December with a new seasonal frequency, further strengthening our more than 40-year commitment to this key destination in the Caribbean," said Alfredo Gonzalez, Managing Director- Caribbean. "With this new route we will now be operating up to four daily flights to Barbados during the winter season from our hubs in Miami and Charlotte."
The new route will go on sale May 14.

Tree and Leaf was published in 1968, just three years before Tolkien's death. It is a small book that collects two of his previously published works.
The book includes a version of "On Fairy-Stories," a 1947 essay that originally appeared in Essays Presented to Charles Williams, and a short story "Leaf by Niggle" which appeared in Dublin Review. These works, though published prior to the Tree and Leaf compilation, appeared in smaller circulation publications and were not distributed to nearly as wide an audience as his novel-length works.
Tree and Leaf then represents the first time that these smaller works were made available to many Tolkien fans.
"On Fairy-Stories" was printed in Essays Presented to Charles Williams in 1947. Interestingly, the essay was originally written to serve as Tolkien's presentation for a lecture on folklorist Andrew Lang at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. This academic work focuses on the key point of contention between Lang's views on fairy tales and Tolkien's views. While Lang posited that the definition of fairy tales should include beast stories like Aesop's Fables and travel stories like Gulliver's Travels, Tolkien disagreed, and throughout the essay, he defends his belief that a fairy tale is only a fairy tale if it takes place in the realm of the Faerie, or an enchanted locale.
The lecture was well-received enough to merit inclusion in Charles Williams' memorial book, but the collection was overall unsuccessful and was soon out of print. While the essay has appeared in numerous other collections since, including The Tolkien Reader, Poems and Stories, and Tales from the Perilous Realm, it's inclusion in Tree and Leaf is particularly important because it was truly the first time an audience was successfully introduced to Tolkien's idea of mythopoeia. Mythopoeia, or the act of creating mythologies, is seen in all fantasy and science fiction, and it forms much of the basis of fantasy and science fiction writing, as seen particularly in books by authors like Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, H.P. Lovecraft, George R.R. Martin, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Anne McCaffrey.
Diving in to "Leaf by Niggle"
Tolkien's "Leaf by Niggle" appeared originally in the literary magazine Dublin Review in 1945. The short story shows the life of an artist named Niggle who devotes himself to painting in excruciating detail every leaf on a particular tree that he can see at a distance. He devotes so much time to his painting that he neglects other duties, like packing for a trip. This sets into motion a chain of events that leads to him being incarcerated in some sort of prison that demands menial labor, thus taking him away from his painting.
After earning parole, he travels to a country and discovers the forest and tree from his painting and experiences it in its entirety, which proves to him to be much more beautiful than the myriad of paintings he'd created to try to encompass the nature of the forest. He and his former neighbor dedicate the rest of their lives to caring for the forest.
Tree and Leaf is also notable for its illustrations by famed English illustrator Pauline Baynes. Baynes began her professional career drawing maps for the Ministry of Defense. She did not begin working as an illustrator until Tolkien, unhappy with the illustrations in his Farmer Giles of Ham, went to the publisher to complain and plucked her sketches from the slush pile while demanding that this was the artist he wanted illustrating his work. He was thrilled with what she produced and the two became lifelong friends and collaborators. Baynes is most well known for her work with Tolkien as well as for C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, A Dictionary of Chivalry by Grant Uden, and The Borrowers Avenged by Mary Norton.
In her life she illustrated more than one hundred books and was the recipient of the Kate Greenaway Medal for best children's book illustration. Baynes' illustrations in Tree and Leaf are a particularly poignant inclusion considering that Tolkien saw her work as most clearly representing what he imagined when he created his characters. Baynes creations illustrate his creations in a book about creation.


PAKISTAN International Airline's (PIA) cargo capacity and revenue both grew in the 2010/2011 financial year.
Cargo capacity increased by 8.8 per cent, helped by new routes to Barcelona (Spain) and Chicago (US) introduced during the year.
The cargo business generated Rs. 6.4 billion (US$77.5 million) against Rs. 4.98 billion ($58 million) in the previous year. This constituted six per cent of the company's total revenue.
However, despite positive year-on-year revenue growth of 13 per cent, the overall financial position did not improve materially as compared to last year due to rising oil prices in global markets.

I am a first-generation college student who recently graduated from Wheaton College. During my time as an undergraduate, I studied Sociology. However, because of the liberal arts curriculum, I was able to take classes from a variety of disciplines – it really allowed for my intellectual curiosity to flourish! In addition to the academics, I participated in many extracurricular activities like Sabor Latino, Solidarity Cabinet and Unidad Cristiana. Whether it was through the academics or extracurricular activities, I was blessed abundantly by the Wheaton community.
I'd be happy to share more information about Wheaton that relates to your passions and interests. Maybe that's our commitment to holistic education within the liberal arts and sciences, our academic majors, or Wheaton's distinctively Christian (90% residential!) community. Overall, I'd just really love to connect you with life here at Wheaton, and help you see yourself here in years to come.
As your advocate through the Wheaton admissions process, please keep my contact information handy throughout your college search. I look forward to connecting with you!

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic
Manchester United get Sergej Milinkovic-Savic transfer boost
Man Utd target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic will have to leave Lazio if he wants to play in the UEFA Champions League next season.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic will not be playing in the Champions League next season if he stays at Lazio following their dramatic defeat to Inter Milan on Sunday night.
Lazio went into the game three points clear of Inter in fourth place in Serie A and only needed to avoid defeat to automatically qualify for Europe's most prestigious club competition next season.
Milinkovic-Savic put in another impressive performance as the Biancocelesti led 2-1 with 12 minutes to go but two quick-fire goals from Mauro Icardi and Matias Vecino saw Inter snatch that precious final spot as they had a better head to head record.
What that means for Milinkovic-Savic remains to be seen. The Serbian, who has four years left on his contract, is one of a number of midfielders United have been monitoring as they prepare for life after retired skipper Michael Carrick.
Manchester United's transfer strategy has changed dramatically
Although he would not be a like for like replacement - Savic tends to roam in a similar fashion to Paul Pogba - United fans have got very excited about those persistent rumours in recent months.
The player's agent, Mateja Kezman, previously worked with Jose Mourinho at Chelsea and while he dismissed reports United had agreed a deal to sign his most prized clients, he admitted his future would be on the agenda in the coming weeks.
"The interest in Sergej is enormous," he said ahead of Lazio's defeat.
"But on Sunday Lazio will have to play the most important game of all and it makes no sense to talk about a transfer.
"Until the end of the season he is concentrated exclusively on Lazio."


Showing results for tags 'cross section'.
Hello. I have been asked to construct a Model to show the inside of a Ship. I have chosen to build the HMS Victory at a large scale of 1/36.90 Having got permission to use the plans from :- http://www.mountainhaven.com/VictoryXCP/PDFbin/Frame_Sta_( .pdf http://www.mountainhaven.com/VictoryXCP/PDFbin/Frame_Sta_0.pdf http://www.mountainhaven.com/VictoryXCP/PDFbin/Frame_Sta_3.pdf A previous topic regarding plans. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/2885-large-scale-cross-section-drawings/#entry79890 I have redrawn the plans and added bits and made the drawings slightley more accurate. I am using adobe illustrator. The nice thing about using Illustrator is that it is vector drawn so it can be scaled up to any size. I am printing mine on A1 this gives me the scale of 1:36.90 The construction of this model will consist of five frames on each side. The Keel is make from mahogany. This will have holes for pining the frame guides. And the Garboard plank cutout. And false copper pins/rivets. The two frame guides are fixed to the keel. The frames are inserted into the frame guides and jig'ed to hold them at the correct shape and distance. I have also included the curvature of the hull into the model. The clamping blocks have a curve in to allow for the hull curvature. The clamping blocks will remain in place until I need to remove them for planking. The dummy frames will be added to the ends of the hull. I will use 4mm basswood for the dummy frames. Next I will plank the exterior. Then its building up the deck by deck. Orlop deck beams drawing. Orlop Deck LH.pdf Lower deck beams drawing. Lower Deck LH.pdf Middle deck beams drawing. Middle Deck LH.pdf Upper deck beams drawing. Upper Deck LH.pdf Quarter Deck beams drawings. Quarter Deck LH.pdf Section through centre drawings. hull.pdf Side view drawing. Hull Side View tmp.pdf Orlop deck layout. Orlop Deck Plan LH.pdf Lower Deck layout. Lower Deck Plan LHtemp.pdf Middle Deck layout. Middle Deck Plan LH.pdf Upper Deck layout. Upper Deck Plan LH.pdf Quarter Deck layout. Quarter Deck Plan LH.pdf Some of the timber preped for use. I will Add the drawings after I have as I compleated them. Started the build as you can see in the photos . Have now got to add the Dummey frames. Regards Antony.
I've finally decided to take the plunge and start my first wooden model. I don't have much experience working with wood (although a friend and I did recently complete a wooden truss-tube telescope - his 3rd, my 1st - but that involved mostly square cuts at a much larger scale), so I thought this cross section would be a good way to get my feet wet, so to speak. With this kit I think I can learn some of the basic skills I will need without getting too caught up right away with learning to bend planks, learn how to strop and rig blocks (3mm blocks! How do you work with those?) and enjoy seeing how the rigging comes together. I've already figured out things I would have done differently, but I think for the most part they will not affect the final look. You will see in some of the pictures below that the planking seems to be at an angle, and not perpendicular to the frames - in reality the spacers are not parallel to the keel but the planking is - should have scribed a line on the frames where the spacers go. I've decided to follow one suggestion I came across in one of the really excellent build logs I've come across and plank the hold up to the point where the deck beams attach and use the planking to keep the support level. One question on bending the deck beams - the plans call for gluing 2 strips of lathe together and putting it in a jig to get the right curve - I am assuming I can just smother the wood in glue and bend and place it in the jig (with wax paper to keep it from sticking to anything else) and it would keep its shape when dry (that is what we did to create the one curved piece on the telescope). Is that correct, or do I need to wet the wood, soak it, putting it in vinegar or rubbing alcohol? Thanks for stopping by.
This will be my second Echo cross section. After raising all the frames on my earlier attempt I was not satisfied with the quality of my work and decided not to take it any further. The Echo makes a very nice looking model as is evidenced by build logs like Maury's and others and I contemplated a second effort. I am a member of the Ship Model Society of New Jersey and I brought my Echo with me to a meeting after the last of the frames was raised. There was so much interest that the club voted to make it a "group project" where everyone builds their own version of the same model. 12 of us have signed on for this project. We placed a bulk order for wood with Jeff Hayes at Hobby Mill which arrived last month. We meet once a month to discuss progress and group problem solving. I hope others from the club will start build logs as well. Build logs help the builder and the modeling community so it is a win-win in my opinion. I haven't started work yet but that should happen this weekend. The goal of this project is to build and fit out the model according to the plans posted by David and Greg. The first effort was a great learning experience and I'm sure this one will be as well. Can't wait to get started.
This will be an abbreviated log up to where I am now with my build. Here it is right out of the box. Starting to put the frame together. Closeup of the first error with the kit. There pre-cut spacers for the frames and the kit included not enough long spacers and too many short spacers. So this is my solution. Here I am assembling the deck beams. A shot of the assembled frames and deck beams. Note: If I was to do this over I would have not followed the directions and would have completed the the internal part of the model from the hold up. There was limited space for getting all the stuff between the decks.
This is my build log of a Cross section from a British Man of War from approx. 1815. This was my first POB build. The Kit is from Panart. The Plans consisted of 1 double sided sheet in Italian.

SICI Workshop 2: Theory of Change
Wednesday, Oct 16th, 2019
R-414B, David T. Ellwood Democracy Lab, HKS
This workshop is now full and we can no longer accept RSVPs. If you would like to be added to the wait list, please email us at sici@hks.harvard.edu.
Measuring sustainability impact (social, environmental, and economic value creation) is extremely difficult. Measuring it for new ventures or projects, with limited time and resources, makes this process even more difficult. This workshop provides an introduction to Lean Impact Measurement, a lean and repeatable process that you can use to consider the sustainability impact of business model decisions during the development of your venture.
This hands-on workshop will help social innovators learn the framework and skills necessary to map your social venture's relationship between actions/activities and positive social change. All are welcome and students working on new projects, or students who would like to identify their venture's important impact areas, are encouraged to attend. The workshop will be run by Ingo Michelfelder, postdoctoral fellow at the Social Innovation + Change Initiative.
Ingo Michelfelder
Ingo Michelfelder is a postdoctoral fellow at the Social Innovation and Change Initiative. He transferred to SICI from the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative, where he started and guided a research group focusing on the contribution of new ventures to social, environmental and economic value generation. One research stream aims at helping new ventures understand, measure, forecast, benchmark and improve their sustainability impact in a way that it respects their resource limitations and fast-changing business models, whilst generating data sufficiently precise so it is of interest for investors, accelerators, research, and policy (www.startupimpactbenchmark.org). The research team also uses secondary data to understand country-level contributions from new ventures to achieving sustainable development with a focus on policy implications. A third research stream aims to foster investments in early-stage cleantech ventures, through a combination of venture and investor strategies and policies.
At SICI Ingo aims to engage with students, new ventures, social innovation initiatives, for- and nonprofit initiatives as well as hybrid organizations, accelerators, impact investors and policy representatives across the SICI ecosystem and beyond.
Ingo has taught and coached ventures at the MIT Sloan School of Management, the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship, the MIT Global Ideas challenge, MIT Legatum Center, MIT Entrepreneurship Lab, the Centre for Entrepreneurship at Technical University Berlin the Harvard Social Innovation and Change Initiative and external organizations such as the accelerator Yunus&Youth. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the Chair for Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship at the Technical University Berlin, and the degrees MSc in Management, Diplôme de Grande Ecole and Diplom-Kaufmann from ESCP Europe and started his career in strategy consulting at the Boston Consulting Group.
SICI RSVP Policy
SICI creates intentional opportunities – often with limited spots – to support social innovators and the field. "No shows" are noted, as it breaks down the community environment of our events. If you have an emergency or serious conflict arise, please email the SICI Team at sici@hks.harvard.edu so that we can make this opportunity available to others.


Piezoelectric Bone Surgery is a process that uses piezoelectric vibrations in the application of cutting bone tissue. It is indicated for use in oral, maxillofacial, cranial and spinal procedures.
By adjusting the ultrasonic frequency of the device, it is possible to cut hard tissue while leaving soft tissue untouched by the process. The ultrasonic frequency is modulated from 10, 30, and 60 cycles/s (Hz) to 29 kHz. The low frequency enables cutting of mineralized structures, not soft tissue. Power can be adjusted from 2.8 to 16 W, with preset power settings for various types of bone density. The tip vibrates within a range of 60–200 µm, which allows clean cutting with precise incisions. The last article on the topic of piezoelectricity has named piezoelectric surgery as one of the most important applications of this concept, in addition to medical ultrasound imaging.

When I called, they said they could cancel my auto orders but could not accept any unopened packages back for a refund. My account have been deleted by about $500 from this company. I asked to speak with a supervisor and of course they were all on another call. Trey, the person I was talking to, said I could not wait until they were off the calls. He refused to give me a supervisor's name, email, or phone number or the physical location of the company "for security reasons." He also would not give me the website name or company name until I asked for it 50 times. I'm not sure if he actually gave me the correct ones. I was calm in the phone with him but did tell him that this is a scam and that I wanted a full refund.

Former Nassau comptroller Howard Weitzman dies at 75
Posted Wednesday, October 6, 2021 4:23 pm
Howard Weitzman
By Scott Brinton
Howard Weitzman, Nassau County's comptroller from 2002 to 2009 who was known for challenging establishment politics through the power of the audit during this time in office, died Sept. 27 of a rare blood disorder called amyloidosis. He was 75.
Born in Brooklyn in 1945, Weitzman was known as a loving husband to his wife of 52 years, Suzanne, and father to their daughter, Catherine Diamond, and sons Peter and Matthew Weitzman.
Howard Weitzman was raised in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn and later Laurelton, Queens. He attended Brooklyn Technical High School and went on to graduate from Queens College with a degree in accounting, becoming a certified public accountant.
Weitzman was said to have "reveled" in his role as "Nassau's fiscal watchdog" when he was comptroller. He was also known for his personal approach to politics, holding town hall meetings in houses of worship and schools to meet with constituents from across Nassau to hear their concerns. His local approach to county politics stemmed from his time as a trustee and mayor of Great Neck Estates from 1989 to 1995. He and his wife had lived there for 35 years before moving to Roslyn in 2013.
As comptroller, Weitzman was relentless in pursuing investigations of Nassau's many special districts, including sanitation and water districts. In all, Nassau has more than 200 such districts, and Weitzman said he was convinced they were key to helping rein in government overspending.
"Nassau residents can pay two or three times as much for the same service depending on the district in which they live," Weitzman said in a published report in 2010. "Our audits unveiled millions of dollars of waste by some special districts, and a general lack of accountability, transparency and oversight."
Eliminating many of the special districts, Weitzman contended, could save taxpayers tens of millions of dollars annually.
Speaking with the Herald in 2008, he said, "While the savings [associated with eliminating special districts] are not large when divided by each home . . . in these times of extreme fiscal pressure on Nassau County taxpayers, all savings are worth pursuing. The outdated patchwork quilt of special districts is no longer viable in this day and age when they cost residents money without providing any benefit."
Weitzman was first elected comptroller in 2001 on a ticket with Tom Suozzi, then an up-and-coming political leader who had previously served as the Glen Cove mayor and is now a U.S. congressman representing the 3rd District. They were swept into office following years of fiscal mismanagement at the county level, with a clear mandate to eliminate waste and abuse.
Weitzman lost the comptroller's post to Republican George Maragos in 2009. Illness was said to have hindered Weitzman's campaign. He then challenged Maragos in 2013 and was again defeated.
In 2016, Weitzman was appointed to the Nassau Interim Finance Authority, a fiscal oversight board created by the New York State Legislature in 2000 to monitor and oversee the county's finances following a debt crisis in the late 1990s that nearly bankrupted Nassau.
Weitzman had also been a board member of the American Jewish Committee, a treasurer of Temple Israel of Great Neck and a board member of the United Community Fund of Great Neck.
An avid adventurer, he traveled the world with his family, with he and his wife taking trips to Cambodia, Australia and Italy when their children were grown. He was also an avid boater who was a member of the Shelter Bay Yacht Club.
In addition to his wife and children, he is survived by a sister, Leslie Kornfeld, and her husband, Edward; four grandchildren, Leo, Max, Morris and Ema, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
A funeral service was held last Thursday at Temple Israel of Great Neck, with burial following at Montefiore Cemetery in Springfield Gardens, Queens. Riverside-Nassau North Chapels made the arrangements.
