ACEC Ohio is excited to announce we are creating a Rising Leader Program. We are partnering up with Scott Heidner with Braden Heidner Lowe to assist us with this program. The ACEC Ohio Rising Leader Program is tailored for individuals with their Professional Engineering license plus an additional five years of experience that currently works directly with clients and shows the ability to move into your firm leadership track. In order to enrich the learning experience for participants, class size is limited to 20 people.
The Program's committee will select suitable candidates from individuals nominated by their firms; firms may nominate multiple individuals. The investment for this training is $1,500 to $1,800 per member representative. The fee includes: registration for all sessions of the Program, resource materials, meals and breaks.
All participants completing the course will receive a certificate of leadership training. The leadership training provides up to 36 Professional Development Hours.
Each participant accepted into the ACEC Ohio Rising Leaders Program is EXPECTED TO ATTEND ALL SESSIONS AND ASSOCIATED ACTIVITIES in order to graduate. We understand that emergencies/work situations arise. A participant may miss one session but is expected to make up the material from the missed session (approved by ACEC Ohio) before the next session of the Program in order to graduate.
Below is the identified timeline and sessions for the program. If you are interested or have a recommendation of a rising leader in your firm, applications will become available in Spring 2019. More communication on this to follow!

Democrats dissect why Stacey Abrams lost her bid for governor
By Sam Gringlas
For many Democrats, Georgia has come to symbolize the party's future. But last week one of its brightest stars, Stacey Abrams, lost her second bid for governor against Republican incumbent Brian Kemp. Only one statewide Democrat remained standing on election night, Senator Raphael Warnock. And he still has to win a runoff against Republican Herschel Walker. Now Democrats are starting to dissect what happened with that key race still looming. WABE's Sam Gringlas reports from Atlanta.
SAM GRINGLAS, BYLINE: In 2018, Stacey Abrams narrowly lost her bid to become the first Black woman governor in the country, no less in a state that had been dominated by Republicans. Four years later, Abrams came up short again against Republican Brian Kemp.
STACEY ABRAMS: We may not have made it to the finish line, but we ran that race.
GRINGLAS: But this year, the Abrams campaign lost by a much bigger margin, more than seven points compared to just over 1% last time.
TAMMY GREER: Could it be that perhaps it was too insular? Let's just run the same playbook from four years ago, and that's going to work.
GRINGLAS: That's Tammy Greer, a political science professor at Clark Atlanta University. Unlike 2018, the White House is now occupied by a Democrat. And President Biden's popularity has sagged in Georgia, partly because of inflation. Kemp constantly emphasized his handling of the state's economy from reopening businesses early in the pandemic to pausing the state gas tax amid rising prices.
THARON JOHNSON: Governor Kemp being an incumbent was going to be very difficult to beat.
GRINGLAS: Tharon Johnson is a Democratic strategist.
JOHNSON: He ran a very disciplined campaign. His message was very succinct. I can repeat it because he kept saying it over and over.
GRINGLAS: Kemp's focus on economics may have helped win some independent voters, but demographer Fred Hicks says the turnout rate also dropped from 2018.
FRED HICKS: You know, it wasn't that you saw a whole bunch of Democrats in the metro area vote for Brian Kemp, but they did not come out and vote.
GRINGLAS: The Black and Hispanic turnout rate fell from the last midterms. It's too early to know exactly why, but Professor Greer thinks Democrats didn't do enough direct voter contact. She believes they assumed Georgia's growing diversity would carry them more than it did.
GREER: There was a complete hubris to the demographic shift, huge hubris.
GRINGLAS: The Democrat who got closest to winning beside Warnock was Jen Jordan. She was the nominee for attorney general. This week her team's been closing up campaign headquarters.
JEN JORDAN: Signs are getting packed up. We've got the whiteboard that was kind of all the messaging and strategic stuff that's been wiped clean.
GRINGLAS: Like Abrams, Jordan talked a lot about abortion rights, but Jordan made it the centerpiece of her campaign. She says it did move the needle, just not enough.
JORDAN: I don't think that the really negative impact of the law has really kind of bubbled to the surface yet. I think there was kind of a disconnect, right?
GRINGLAS: And in Georgia, it was harder for Democrats to paint their opponents as extremists on democracy. In fact, the incumbents here, like Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, expressly refused Trump's demands to overturn the 2020 election.
GREER: While other states' Republicans were very involved and were loud and proud in terms of their connections to Trump, really, the opposite was happening here.
GRINGLAS: As Democrats regroup, some also wonder what the losses mean for the party's bench. Abrams has been seen as a top talent, but she's now lost twice statewide. The Abrams campaign didn't respond to a request for comment. Lis Smith, a top staffer on Pete Buttigieg's presidential campaign, says building Democratic power can take many forms, like Abrams' decade-long project to make Georgia competitive.
LIS SMITH: There are many different avenues where these talented people like Stacey Abrams, Beto O'Rourke in Texas can direct their energy. And we need to stop acting like holding elected office is the only thing that matters in politics.
GRINGLAS: For now, Democrats and Republicans say they're focused on the Senate runoff next month. For NPR News, I'm Sam Gringlas in Atlanta.

I agree that seeing a rider with a rooster on his head is not a common sight but I did spot one at a Tope in San Jose, Costa Rica! Horse parades, known as 'Topes' in Costa Rica, are traditional events that mark important cultural celebrations in Costa Rica.
Historically, each city or town held festivals in honor of their patron saint and a significant part of these festivities was the horse display. Topes are now held more as fundraising events for charitable causes and an excuse to throw a party, Costa Rican style!
Topes and cabalgatas (a kind of informal tope) as well as horse games, such as Carrera de Cintas, are seen in every small village throughout Costa Rica. With the prevalent cowboy culture in rural Costa Rica and their obvious love of horses these enjoyable events still play a part of Costa Rican life.
If you're choosing to go horseback riding in Costa Rica, and happen to be in the area at the right time, topes offer a real treat not to be missed. Travelers of all ages would appreciate the horse parades that are so much loved by Costa Ricans.
The inclusion of this colorful tradition in Costa Rican culture was heavily influenced by the Spanish and a by-product of colonial times. While topes may have been brought by the Spanish, as in all things Costa Rican, their own unique special flare was incorporated to make them a national affair.
Topes constitute part of a fiesta occurring over a few days along with bull-runs, food stalls, live music, and dancing: displaying the colorful and exotic culture of Costa Rica. Of prime importance during the fiesta are the raffles held after the topes to raise money. It is not uncommon to find saddles and riding equipment offered as prizes and at the very largest festivals, calves and young horses are the most sought after jackpot!
The most famous and largest of horse parades can be witnessed in the capital city of San Jose, and to a smaller extent in the city of Palmaras. These topes are so widely known that visitors come all the way from Nicaragua and Panama to attend them.
On display are thousands of horse riders who gather to showcase their impressive horses and riding talents and even their custom designed cowboy outfits. But not only seasoned riders attend, the events are popular events for families with their pet horses and you will also see 'special' mounts which include mules, donkeys and even water buffaloes!
Many smaller towns and villages have events called 'cabalgatas'. These are also held us community fund raisers and part of the festival of the area. They are similar to topes but less formal and generally held in the rural areas with longer rides on beautiful trails in the countryside. An excuse to get drunk on horseback for many!
"Carrera de Cintas" (belt race) on horseback is a popular horse game which puts to the test the skills and expertise of competing riders. Short belts with rings on one end are hung from the middle of a rope strung between two posts or trees. The aim of the game is for galloping riders to try and spear the tiny ring. The pencil-sized spear (estaca or a stake) used by riders is a shaped piece of wood often carved by the riders themselves.
Speed, agility, great eye-hand co-ordination plus a cooperating horse are a winning combination. The game is not easy to play and very few riders actually spear a ring but a lot of fun is had by all.
An entry fee for the Topes and Carrera de Cintas is required. The fee paid which revolves around $20 per person is used to raise funds for charitable causes in the village. Horseback Riding in Costa Rica can be extra special is you manage to watch a tope or try your hand at one of the horse games in Costa Rica.
If you are visiting Costa Rica and want to go riding, you may also be able to participate in one of these events. You can contact Horse Trek Monteverde and check if one is taking place.

Q: Find the critical points of the function $f(x,y)=e^{-xy}\sin (xy).$ Find the critical points of the function $f :\mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R$ defined by : $f(x,y)=e^{-xy}\sin (xy).$
My attempts : we have $\nabla f(x,y)= e^{-xy}\begin{pmatrix}  -y\sin(xy)+y\cos(xy)& -x\sin(xy)+x\cos(xy) \end{pmatrix}$, thus
$$\nabla f(x,y)=(0 \quad0) \iff \begin{cases} y=0 \text{ or } \tan(xy)=1 & \\ x=0 \text{ or} \tan(xy)=1 \end{cases} ,$$
$\tan(xy)=1 \iff xy= n\pi+\dfrac{\pi}{4},$ so if $y=0$, then $x=0$ and if $y\neq 0$, then $x=\frac{1}{y}\left( n\pi+\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)$ .
Thus $(0,0)$ and $\left(\frac{1}{y}\left( n\pi+\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right),y\right)$  are the critical points.
Thanksin advance !

A: Your computations are correct. On the other hand, the way you express the answer is not very clear. For instance: what is that $n$?
I would say that the set of critical points is$$\bigl\{(0,0)\bigr\}\cup\left\{\left(\frac1y\left(n\pi+\frac\pi4\right),y\right)\,\middle|\,n\in\Bbb Z\wedge y\in\Bbb R\setminus\{0\}\right\}.$$

Clean Air Act Settlement with Wisconsin Utilities Includes Funding for Renewables
by RENEW Wisconsin | Apr 22, 2013 | Uncategorized
An exciting new settlement in Wisconsin leads the way for millions in funding for clean energy. The EPA's press release is below. Also check out Tom Content's blog post summarizing the settlement. Detailed information can be found here.
Clean Air Act Settlement with Wisconsin Utilities to Reduce Emissions by More Than 50,000 Tons Annually
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of Justice, and the United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Wisconsin announced a Clean Air Act (CAA) settlement with Wisconsin Power and Light Company (WPL) that will significantly reduce air pollution from three coal-fired power plants located near Portage, Sheboygan, and Cassville, Wis.
Small projects have wind in their sails
by jboullion | Nov 28, 2011 | Uncategorized
From an article by Tom Content in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Companies working toward energy independence
The stalled state of wind farm development in Wisconsin has led to little development activity for large wind farms.
But on a much smaller scale, wind projects are moving ahead as companies fulfill commitments to environmental and energy independence.
In western Wisconsin, Organic Valley Cooperative and Gundersen Lutheran Health System have broken ground on a two-turbine wind project that will generate enough power to offset the energy use for Organic Valley's corporate headquarters and distribution center, as well as meet 5% of Gundersen Lutheran's energy needs.
In southeastern Wisconsin, S.C. Johnson & Son has proposed building two or three turbines that would generate 1.5 megawatts of power each. If the plans proceed on schedule, the turbines would be erected next year.
The co-op and health care system project, Cashton Greens, calls for roads and foundations for the $9.9 million project to be completed this fall, with the turbines scheduled for installation in spring 2012, said Cecil Wright, Organic Valley's director of sustainability.
When completed, the turbines will generate about 12 million kilowatt-hours a year.
It's a boost to a brand that has the word "organic" in its name, but this is about more than conveying a green image, Wright said.
"One of the main reasons we did is that it'll help manage and fix our costs," Wright said. "We're not just doing it because it's a nice thing to do. The higher the price of electricity goes up, the better we'll do at paying off our project quicker, and that'll be a profit center for us," he said.
"In addition to providing renewable energy to Cashton and Organic Valley, the wind turbines will serve as a 'living lab' for research and education for students at Western Technical College," Wright said.
Windmills and more
At S.C. Johnson, the wind proposal is the latest in a string of distributed generation and renewable energy initiatives for the company, which uses landfill methane gas to generate energy for the factory. The Waxdale factory will be able to produce 100% of its electricity on-site, with 60% of it from renewable sources, said Christopher Beard, S.C. Johnson spokesman.
The reasons for the projects are many – everything from a desire for energy security to a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions linked to energy use and a platform to showcase their brands as environmentally friendly.
"Both of those projects show that customers are demanding and making clean energy happen," said Lee Cullen, a Madison energy lawyer who has been working with clients in the wind-energy sector. "There's a groundswell of renewable energy production that's happening because people understand its importance."
Beard said the S.C. Johnson wind project "helps us address the fact that consumers are asking for products that are green and products that have been produced in a sustainable way. Manufacturing our products using on-site sustainable energy helps meet that consumer demand," Beard said.
Projects to erect wind turbines and solar panels needs to be complemented with efforts to slash energy waste from a company's buildings and production processes, said Tom Eggert, who runs the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council.
WP&L and WPS warn of higher rates because of pollution rules
by jboullion | Aug 24, 2011 | Uncategorized
From an article by Tom Content published in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on August 19:
Two state utilities said this week new federal pollution rules will lead to higher electricity costs come January.
Wisconsin Public Service Corp. of Green Bay said its residential customers can expect an increase of more than $4 a month next year, including about $2 linked to the new rules designed to limit air pollution from coal-fired power plants.
The utility said it would see higher costs of about $32.6 million in 2012 from the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule that was finalized recently by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. That will result in rates going up by 6.8% instead of 3.4%, the utility said.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency last month finalized stronger regulations for Wisconsin and 26 other states aimed at curbing air pollution from long-distance sources.
Environmental groups praised the new rule because it would reduce acid rain and air pollution as well as help curb health effects from dirty air linked to coal plants. The EPA projected the rule will save up to 34,000 lives a year and prevent more than 400,000 asthma attacks as well as 19,000 admissions to hospitals. . .
The new rule has been in development for several years but the first phase of compliance hits utilities in 2012. WPS said it won't have time to install pollution controls by next year at its plants, but will be able to comply by purchasing credits from other utilities that have cut emissions.
The utility also said it plans to operate its coal plants less next year than it otherwise would have, and will buy more power from the Midwest wholesale power market as a result, a move that it said is also a factor in higher costs for customers. . . .
On Thursday [August 18], Wisconsin Power & Light Co. [Alliant] of Madison said it would face an additional $9 million in costs linked to the air pollution rule. With the change, the utility is now seeking an increase in 2012 of $20 million, or 2%, utility finance manager Martin Seitz said in a filing with state regulators.
Todd Stuart, executive director of the Wisconsin Industrial Energy Group, criticized the increases, and he noted that large energy users like paper mills will see higher than average increases, compared with homeowners and small businesses. Paper mills served by WPS could see a 9% hike, he said. . . .
"Industry always cries wolf whenever EPA tries to reduce air pollution," said Katie Nekola, lawyer with the conservation group Clean Wisconsin. "The fact is, the new rule will affect old, inefficient, unnecessary coal plants that should have been shut down long ago. The continued operation of those old units is costing ratepayers money, but you don't hear industry complaining about that."

Home / About Bhutan / Monarchy
Monarchy : The monarchs of Bhutan have been the fountainhead of the country's progress and modernization. Since the emergence of the hereditary monarchy in 1907, the kings have followed a path of smooth and gradual modernization. The institution of the Monarchy has propelled Bhutan to where it is today.
Visionary Monarchs of Bhutan
The Monarchy : The first two kings were primarily focused on securing the power and legitimacy of the monarchy, as well as guiding the country through political changes and developments.
Ugyen Wangchuck was born in Wangdicholing Palace in 1862. This put to an end the Desi system of governance and marked the dawn of a new era of peace and stability. And in 1910, Gongsar Ugyen Wangchuk signed the Treaty of Punakha with British India, securing Bhutan's sovereignty.
The Monarchy : King Jigme Wangchuck, the 2nd king, ascended the Golden Throne in 1926. In 1949, he signed the Indo-Bhutanese Treaty, revising the 1910 Treaty of Punakha and further
strengthening the relationship with India. This treaty became the foundation of the journey of friendship between India and Bhutan.
The Monarchy : It was the third Druk Gyalpo (King) Jigme Dorji Wangchuck (1952–1972), who was dedicated to political reforms and began the critical process of democratic institutionalization. Known as the Father of Modern Bhutan, he abolished serfdom and capital punishment shortly after he became king. He also established the National Assembly in 1953, started the country's socio-economic development with first Five Year Plan in 1961, set up the first councilor of ministers and judiciary in 1968, and was integral in Bhutan becoming a member of the United Nations in 1971.
The Monarchy : The 4th king, His Majesty Jigme Singye Wangchuck, assumed the Golden Throne in 1974 at the age of 19. A few years into his reign, His Majesty made one of the most profound statements of the 20th Century on development philosophy ~ "Gross National Happiness is more important than Gross Domestic Product". This philosophy was conceived based on the fundamental belief that the purpose of development must create conditions that will allow the citizens to pursue happiness, where happiness is viewed as the greatest human wealth.
The process of democratisation and devolvement of power continued with the formation of the Dzongkhag Yargye Tshogchung (District Development Committee) in 1981 and the Gewog Yargye Tshogchung (Block Development Committee) in 1991, both consisting of elected members.
In 2006, His Majesty surprisingly announced his abdication. This announcement shocked the Bhutanese people; but His Majesty refused to retract the decision. It was first time in world history that a monarch voluntarily, without any internal or external pressure whatsoever, gave up his powers for his commitment to political reforms and his nation.
In March 2008, Bhutan successfully conducted its first parliamentary election, and in November 2008 His Majesty Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck was crowned as the fifth Dragon King.
The transition to democracy did not happen overnight. It was a long process of successive developments beginning from the inception of the hereditary monarchy in 1907, and culminating in this statement by His Majesty, the fourth druk Gyalpo – the "Monarchy is not the best form of government because a king is chosen by birth and not be merit. The people of Bhutan must be able to establish a system which works for them." As such, democracy has always been a part of Gross National Happiness.
The world has not witnessed such a peaceful, unique, and voluntary transition to democracy. It's a legacy of a great King and his love for his people and humanity.
"…Throughout my reign I will never rule you as a King. I will protect you as a parent, care for you as a brother and serve you as a son. shall give you everything and keep nothing; shall live such a life as a good human being that you may find it worthy to serve as an example for your children; I have no personal goals other than to fulfill your hopes and aspiration. I shall always serve you, day and night, in the spirit of kindness, justice and equality…"
~ His Majesty The King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck
Coronation Address, 7th November 2008

'Tis Tartan Day
As long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours, that we are fighting, but for freedom – for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
On April 6, 1320, Bernard of Kilwinning wrote a letter to the Pope, proclaiming Scotland as an independent, sovereign state. Bernard was then the head of Arbroath Abbey, a monastery along the coast of the North Sea, and the document, written in Latin and sealed by eight earls and about forty barons, became known as the Declaration of Arbroath.
More than six hundred and fifty years later, a group of New Yorkers chose the date of Bernard's missive to celebrate their Scottish heritage. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and by 1998 the U.S. Senate recognized Scottish-Americans' contributions to the nation by declaring April 6 as National Tartan Day.
The Scots-centric festivities have grown and become a yearly event, dubbed Tartan Week, which honors all things related to the land once known as Caledonia. The highlight of the week is the loud and colorful Tartan Day Parade.
In the first New York Tartan Day Parade, a small, loosely organized group marched across the Upper East Side, from the British Consulate to the United Nations, while clad in kilts and playing bagpipes.
Today the 17th annual New York Tartan Day Parade was held on Sixth Avenue. It featured thousands of bagpipers, marchers, dancers, dogs and representatives of organizations from all over the world who strode up the street, delighting all the Scots and "temporary, honorary Scots" who lined the route in Midtown Manhattan.

The Land Where St. Patrick Walked
The St. Patrick's Day Parade on Fifth Avenue is the world's biggest, noisiest, happiest celebration of Ireland and its patron saint. Between the dancing, drinking and green hair, it is easy for an observer to think that those who hail from "the land with 40 shades of green" have always been welcome and accepted here.
But the story of the Irish in New York has many a tragic side. Most terrible is the reason that so many Irish citizens arrived on our shores 150 years ago; they were fleeing the disaster known as An Gorta Mór (the Great Hunger). The devestation began in the late 1840s, when a virus attacked the potatoes planted in the fields of the land where St. Patrick had walked.
Cheap, filling, and easy to grow, potatoes were an essential source of nutrition for poor, rural Irish families. When the virus caused the potato plants to wither and their crops to fail, it wasn't long before starvation set in.
The Great Hunger, also known as the Great Potato Famine, lasted from 1845 to 1852. During that period approximately one million Irish people died and two million more emigrated, many of them landing in New York Harbor. Now, in a quiet corner of Battery Park, near the spot where those desperate survivors arrived, stands the Irish Hunger Memorial.
Created by New York artist Brian Tolle, the memorial opened in 2002 on a quarter-acre of land shaped to resemble a burial mound cut from an Irish hillside. The base of the memorial is made of slabs of concrete interlaced with bands of plexiglass-covered metal bearing excerpts from reports, poems, songs, sermons and letters describing the desperation and destitution of the victims of the famine. These are intermingled with information about world hunger today.
After walking around the base, visitors walk through a short, dark corridor where recorded voices recite facts about the Hunger and emerge into a small atrium lined with stone walls. A dirt path winds up the hill past thirty-two massive stones, each marked with the name the Irish county that donated it, a roofless stone cottage, wildflowers and grasses, all imported from Ireland.
Every aspect of this small patch of land is significant and symbolic; even the size of the space reflects the Irish Poor Law of 1847, which denied relief to those living on land larger than a quarter of acre. Small, subtle and enormously moving, the Irish Hunger Memorial helps illuminate the wonderful, terrible history of the Irish in New York City.

The Dudley Memorial Building
At first glance, the building at 110 Amity Street looks as though it might be a grand residence. But upon closer inspection, the brick and limestone structure reveals broken, boarded up windows, a slew of paper notices taped to the front door and a dusty-looking "for sale" sign.
Two names appear above the entrance: The Dudley Memorial, which is carved into the facade, and, painted directly below, The Long Island College Hospital Stanley S. Lamm Institute for Developmental Disabilities. So, what's the story here?
This empty structure at the corner of Amity and Henry Streets was built in 1902 in memory of Dr. William Dudley, one of the founders of nearby Long Island College Hospital, which is now celebrating its 150th anniversary. Designed by Charles Hough, for five years it served as a private pavilion for the hospitals patients, then became a residence for its nurses.
Later, the building housed the Stanley S. Lamm Institute, a facility for the comprehensive care of the developmentally disabled. Several years ago the Lamm Institute's programs were moved to other locations and the stately-looking building has been vacant ever since.
Most recently, a developer proposed a plan which included the construction of a rooftop bulkhead and six townhouses in the rear. A combination of community opposition and fallen real estate values has resulted in any plans being delayed indefinitely.

Fannie's book finds a new home
A few months ago I was walking past a thrift store when I noticed several cartons full of books piled on the sidewalk. The shop was emptying their shelves for a special event and giving away the items they deemed unsalable.
It was starting to rain, so I glanced through the books, selected three that appeared interesting, stuffed them into my bag, and hurried home. When I got inside I gave them a closer look. One of the books was about classical music (I gave it to a musician friend), another was about vitamins (it turned out to be too wet to save).
The third book, however, was something else entirely: dark, small and slim, in rather poor condition with the words "Album of Love" embossed on the cover. I picked it up, flipped it open, saw a name, Fannie C. Ashmore, written inside the cover and an illustration on the first page followed by quite a few blank pages.
I assumed that it was a fancy old blank notebook or an empty photo album, but when I looked further, I saw that some of the pages did have writing — spidery words formed with an old-fashioned fountain pen. The inscriptions (mostly poetry) were by several different hands, but all of the messages were addressed to Fannie, and I realized that it was some sort of autograph or friendship book.
A few items were tucked between the pages: a scrap of paper with Fannie's name and town, Trenton, New Jersey, one of her calling cards, a bit of a dried fern and two newspaper clippings concerning the death of Alexander B. Green of the Fourteenth New Jersey Volunteers, who lived in Ewing and died in the battle of Monocacy Junction "in his youth, away from home … in the fierceness of battle."
One of the inscriptions in the book was to Fannie from her "coz, Alex G," and with a bit of online research I learned that Alexander B. Green of the Fourteenth New Jersey Volunteers died July 5, 1864 and is buried near Trenton at the Ewing Church Cemetery.
I couldn't imagine how the book that was once so important to Fannie wound up in a thrift store, or why it was discarded, or even how it managed to make its way to this city, but I thought that the little Civil War era book would be of value to someone. Unfortunately, I don't know who, or where, or how to find them.
Over the past few months, I've tried to locate an historical society, museum, or similar instituation where the book would be appreciated, but the places I contacted never seemed to be quite the right fit. A couple of people offered to "take it off my hands," but I didn't want the recipient to act as though they were doing me a big favor — I wanted it to go to someone who'd be happy to have it.
Finally, it occurred to me to offer the book to the library in Trenton, Fannie's hometown. I had a long conversation with a librarian who told me that similar books were a fad among the girls who attended the Normal School (a teacher's college) in Trenton around the time of the American Civil War. She was delighted to accept my offer and will be giving Fannie's little book a safe and secure new home in the Research Department's Trentoniana Collection. She also expressed her hope that somehow, someday, a descendant will walk into the library and ask to see Fannie's little book.
Perhaps, someday, they will. Who knows? Stranger things have happened.

The 31st Annual Museum Mile Festival
There are two things I dislike about the Museum Mile Festival:
1) It happens only once a year.
2) It lasts only three hours.
There simply isn't enough time to take in everything that happens during this event which stretches along Fifth Avenue from 82nd Street to 105th Street — 23 blocks offering nine museums (all providing free admission) along with concerts, clowns, jugglers, face painters, and arts and crafts projects.
In past years I've started at the lower end, near the Metropolitan Museum of Art at 82nd Street, and attempted to work my way up but never made it past the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum at 91st Street. This time I decided to start at the northern end of the festival, heading down from El Museo del Barrio at 105th Street.
Unlike the rest of the institutions on museum mile, El Museo does not have its own building. Instead, it is one of variety of Latino arts organizations housed in the massive, block-filling, neo-Georgian Heckscher Building at 1230 Fifth Avenue (other tenants include the Raíces Latin Music Museum Collection of Harbor Conservatory and La Casa de la Herencia Cultural Puertorriqueña).
Although El Museo is currently closed for renovations, the Latin-flavored music issuing from their loudspeakers inspired passersby to dance in the street. Inside the Heckscher Building, through corridors of worn linoleum and flickering florescent lights, they offered a mask-making workshop, a salsa jam session, and promises that they will reopen in the fall.
The next stop was across the street to the Museum of the City of New York, which is charged with a "unique mandate: to explore the past, present, and future of this fascinating and particular place and to celebrate its heritage of diversity, opportunity, and perpetual transformation. A variety of exhibitions, public programs, and publications all investigate what gives New York City its singular character."
The current programs are tied to NY400: Holland on the Hudson, a celebration of the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the Dutch. In 1609 the Half Moon, guided by Captain Henry Hudson, landed on the shores of what is now New York City. Hudson's arrival led to the establishment of New Amsterdam and the New Netherland colony.
This was my first visit to the museum and, while I was eager to rejoin the celebrations outside, I couldn't drag myself away from the programs including exhibits about Manhattan before Hudson's arrival, the Dutch city, and the acapella concert by the New York City Gay Men's Chorus.
I kept checking my watch, thinking that I was missing the rest of the festival, but remaining unwilling to leave as I learned about the many Dutch influences that continue to touch our lives in New York City today. I lingered at a map that shows areas of the city with their original Dutch names: Breuckelen (Brooklyn), Vlackebos (Flatbush), Boswijck (Bushwick), Conijne Eylandt (Coney Island), Midwout (Midwood), Nieuw Utrecht (New Utrecht). I listened to recordings based on diaries and letters written by the Dutch colonists. I gazed at the rare artifacts, books, manuscripts, maps and globes.
I stayed until the museum was ready to lock its doors for the night. When I got back to the street, the festival was over. The street had reopened to traffic and a few stragglers were using discarded pieces of chalk to make their marks on the sidewalks and walls.
Perhaps next year I'll take in more than one or two museums during the festival. Then again, perhaps not. Why rush to "get through" a good experience?
I once read a highly-recommended guide to Paris by Rick Steves which included instructions on how to see the Louvre Museum in less than an hour (maintain a brisk pace and glace at certain key works in case your friends back home ask what you thought of, say, the Mona Lisa). When I got to Paris I ditched the book and spent an entire day inside the Louvre, lingering after dark to watch the skateboarders clattering on the stairs and terraces above the Seine. The "in a hurry" crowd never knew what they missed.

90 Years After The War to End All Wars
It started on June 28, 1914. While traveling through the streets of Sarajevo in an open car, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was shot and killed by a Serbian assassin. One month later, in retaliation, the Austro-Hungarian government declared war on Serbia.
That declaration marked the beginning of World War I. The scope and reach of the conflict was unprecedented: more than 65 million men battled around the globe for four years, resulting in the death of more than nine million soldiers.
This was the first war to employ advanced technology such as airplanes, tanks and submarines, the first time that governments achieved wholesale killing with automatic weapons and poisonous gasses. The slaughter continued until the morning of November 11, 1918. It was close to dawn of that day when British, French and German officials gathered in a railway carriage to the north of Paris and signed the Armistice – the cease fire – that brought about the end of the fighting.
At the time, it was widely believed that when society saw the horrors and costs of modern warfare, no nation would ever again be tempted to fight, and led to the conflict being described as The War To End All Wars. Sadly, of course, it wasn't; in fact, there have been more than 150 wars in the 90 years since the Armistice was signed.
If you visit Sarajevo, you'll have a hard time locating the place where it all started. The spot where Franz Ferdinand was shot is marked by a small bronze plaque set in the pavement. If you don't search closely, you could easily miss the obscure memorial.
In contrast, the memory of WWI's fallen troops is preserved by countless monuments and markers, including this one, which stands on Brooklyn's Van Brunt Street outside post No. 5195 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States.
On the base of the statue is a plaque that says, "Red Hook Memorial Doughboy. Erected in honor of those men and women of the Third Assembly District who served in the World War and in remembrance of those of their number who lost their lives and whose names ware here inscribed."
Below the bronze plaque is a list of more than 90 names; schoolmates, friends and neighbors, all lost from a small, working class area in a remote corner of Brooklyn.
Chances are, no one alive today remembers those boys. Their parents, sweethearts, wives and children — those who were touched by their lives and deaths — may have vanished into the mists of time, but today, on the 90th anniversary of the end of "The War to End All Wars," we should all pause and remember.

OHNY: Brooklyn Lyceum
Today, this structure, which is almost entirely hidden by scaffolding, contains an enterprise known as the Brooklyn Lyceum. Located at the corner of 4th and President Streets, it offers patrons an unusual mixture of dining and entertainment, including a small cafe with Internet access, live music, dance and theater performances, open-mike nights, film screenings and "an occasional restaurant."
But once upon a time, this building was New York City Public Bathhouse #7. When the bathhouse opened in 1908, many homes in the city lacked adequate indoor plumbing. Back then, residents of an entire tenement building would share a single backyard outhouse, mothers bathed their babies in washtubs, and children squatted in filthy, flooded gutters to cool off during the sweltering summer months. Vermin and disease, including cholera and typhoid epidemics, ravaged the city's impoverished neighborhoods.
New York's municipal bathhouses were part of a public health effort to improve conditions for the poor, and provided the city's most crowded quarters with much-needed sanitary facilities. The first such structure, the Baruch Bathhouse, opened on Manhattan's Lower East Side in 1901. As they went up, the bathhouses became larger and more elaborate, some of them modeled on ancient Roman baths.
This building, #7, designed by Raymond F. Almirall, was the largest and the last bathhouse constructed. For three decades, it gave the 150,000 residents of this area, then known as South Brooklyn's "Little Italy," access to extensive, sparkling-clean bathing and dressing facilites, two gyms and a swimming pool. The city finally closed the bathhouse in 1937.
After a renovation effort during which the swimming pool was filled in and half the showers eliminated, the bathhouse reopened in 1942 as a city-run gymnasium. Closed once again in the early seventies, it was sold to a local businessman who used it as a warehouse for his nearby transmission repair business.
When he moved his business away, the building went through several more owners, none of whom used it. The former bathhouse stood unused and unmaintained for decades. Leaks were unrepaired, broken window panes unreplaced, holes opened in the roof and stonework chipped off. Eventually, the empty structure was vandalized and stripped of all of the original decorative elements. Even the tiles, pipes, water fountains and plasterwork were carried off or destroyed while the building crumbled.
In the late 1980s, the bathhouse reverted to city ownership and a local community group, which leased it for $1.00 a year, briefly used it as a recreation center before it closed again. By the early 1990s, the bathhouse was considered a neighborhood blight, and there were cries for it to be demolished. Instead, in 1994, the city held an auction where it was purchased by Eric Richmond, who had long wished for a theater space of his own.
Today, as part of Open House New York, Richmond greeted visitors, explained the history of the building and escorted them on a short tour of the space. He explained that not only are the original decorative elements gone, the city lost the original drawings and he has been unable to locate any photographs of the original interior. As visitors gazed at the bare brick walls and looked at the dance troupe rehearsing in the basement, music boomed from above, where the top floor had been rented out for a bar mitzvah party.

OPENING RECEPTION Thursday, August 18th, 7:30PM
connections of gestures explores beaded animation in video, still life, and beaded works. Carrie Allison was inspired by beadwork held in museums across Turtle Island, how these pieces hold ancestors, tell stories and connect us through time and space. Through combining animation and beadwork the artist seeks to visually narrate the practice of beading and bring viewers closer to an understanding of beadwork's animacy.

An Easy Way to Get $1 Trillion More in Tax Revenue?
Jonathan Ernst
The first step in reforming the U.S. tax system doesn't involve raising rates or eliminating deductions, say former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers and Penn Law professor Natasha Sarin. Instead, the government should concentrate on a task most people would readily agree makes sense: collecting more of the taxes Americans already owe.
Writing in The Washington Post, Summers and Sarin argue that beefing up the IRS so that citizens — especially wealthy ones — meet their tax obligations would raise more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years, while making a dent in the growing problem of wealth and income inequality.
"Our rough estimates suggest that at least 70 percent of the 'tax gap'— defined as owed but uncollected taxes — comes from underpayment by the top 1 percent," they write. "This contributes to legitimate concerns that our tax system unfairly advantages the elite."
The authors say that the tax gap will come to more than $7.5 trillion over the coming decade, and their proposal seeks to capture a modest 15% of that shortfall by enhancing reporting requirements that would affect wealthy households with income that is currently subject to little or no reporting to the IRS. (While employee wages get reported to the tax agency, certain business income, rents and royalties do not.) Currently, only 5% of households earning more than $5 million are audited, representing some low-hanging fruit that could be plucked with relatively modest investments at the IRS, Summers and Sarin say.

Our committees focus on areas of concern to the membership of NAHAM. Each committee is led by a chairperson and as many members as needed to carry out its function. Committees of NAHAM are served by current dues paying members of the association who express particular interest in or possess relevant skills attributable towards the objectives of a committee.
Beginning January, 2012, all members of committees will have two-year terms of service. All terms will begin in August and end two years later on the last day of July. There is no limit as to the number of terms any committee member may have pending they maintain membership in NAHAM; however, those interested in returning for an additional term of service must complete the standard committee application form to indicate their interest and to inform the sitting committee chair of the compelling reasons why continued service is desired. It is the prerogative of the chairperson of each committee to determine the appropriate number of committee members, to review each application form, and to make the selections regarding composition of their committee.
In the event a committee member does not maintain membership in NAHAM, terminates their service to their assigned committee prior to their term expiration, or is removed from a committee due to lack of participation, the committee chair may choose to fill the open position. The policy is that any committee member beginning service outside of normal committee terms of service will have a term expiration of the last day of the second July of their service regardless of the point in the year when they joined the committee. For example, an incoming committee member is selected to fill a vacancy November 16, 2017. Their term expiration date will be July 31, 2019.
Service on a NAHAM standing committee is a tremendous opportunity to contribute, develop new skills, expand your professional network, and help directly impact the profession. When positions are available, we will seek members who will commit to fulfilling the objectives of the committee, be active participants, and be willing to make room for another NAHAM member to serve if they find that they are not able to fulfill their obligations as committee members.
When vacancies are open the application form will be posted on this site and an email sent alerting the members of the service opportunity. We will ask you what specifically interests you and compels you to apply and will wish to know what strengths you have that will benefit the committee.
For more information, select from the drop down box at the top of this page. There you will find a description of each committee, a roster of volunteer members, and updates on activities.
We hope you will consider service on a NAHAM committee in the future!

Another problem I had is that my shrouds (E46-R extended) was hitting the headlight lens when I tried to place the headlight lens back on. I had to cut the the opening of the shroud (on the inside of it) bigger so I could slide the shroud further down on the projector. I couldn't slide the projector further back because of the limited space behind the headlight..

Take a peek and spot wonders you can't see with the naked eye, like coloured stars, clusters and of course the other planets. Dont miss out this September when Saturn makes a visit during Night Observatory shows. Bookings are essential. Adult $28. Child $19. Family pass $68.
Got a smartphone? Got an Instagram account? Great. Let the iPhoneography begin! On Saturday 4 October, Queensland is holding the biggest Instameet. Ever. That means people like you, all around the state, are going to meet up in groups to snap away and upload their pics to Instagram in the biggest show-and-tell about their hometown or holiday spot. Find out where you can get in on the action here. Confused? Get the lowdown on Instameets here.
Did you know, bilbies don't need to drink water? They get all the moisture they need from the food they eat, so it no wonder they call the outback home! Charleville lets you in to see these cute endangered critters at The Bilby Experience. Tours run Mon, Wed, Fri and Sun nights or book the 'up close and personal' tour to really get a sense of how remarkable these little guys are on Thursday at 3pm. Bookings are essential.
Dinosaurs were all over the world millions of years ago but finding them these days is hard work. Luckily there is a team dedicated to the cause right in our backyard. The Australian Age of Dinosaurs dig site is home to Banjo and Matilda – two dino fossil sites that are revealing new things to scientists every day. Tours run daily, but if you're really keen you can get hands on with a Prep-a-Dino package.
Learn how to crack a whip, shear a sheep or maybe just help with a good ol' cattle muster on the Bonus Downs Farmstay. Hold on to your hat because this is a real working station, but if you don't feeling like getting your hands dirty you can take a canoe for a paddle on the dam or just sit back and listen to nature around the campfire. Better than TV anyday.
Head out west and find yourself a fortune. If you get lost, you can always head to the Miners Heritage Tour in Rubyvale. They've already dug the mine so thats one less job for you to do. Buy a bucket of wash and try your hand at fossicking for sapphires and zircon and when you're done, head underground to learn about the colourful history of Australia's largest walk-in mine. Adults $20. Teens $10. Children $5.

Chipotle : I think the stock bottomed around $230, said Cramer, but now it's back up to $260. I'd wait for a pullback.
Palo Alto Networks : It's a good company but it's too expensive, said Cramer. Don't buy.
Zipcar : The stock probably bottomed but I don't think that's a reason to buy, explained Cramer. I expect to see the rental car companies come on strong.
Alexion Pharma : A lot of investors are selling this stock because they don't know what the tax burden will be next year, explained Cramer. I like this stock and would wait for the end of the year - then pick some up.
AIG : Pullbacks in this stock present an opportunity, said Cramer. AIG is cheap.
Trinity Industries : In this space, I'd rather own Union Pacific, said Cramer.
