I found a tutor where I was living in Peitermaritzburg and another when I eventually returned to Scotland -- A Master of Fine Arts at Edinburgh University. When I was in India I was able to work with Subodh Kerkar in Goa. He is a well known installation artist with galleries in Mumbai, Calcutta and Goa.
With their tutoring and guidance I came to appreciate all types of art, and to understand that art is purely a personal point of view upon a certain subject.
I also take commissions for pet portraits. As the pet has usually passed on it really is a labour of love and I feel I have helped someone with their loss.

Music at San Marco
During the period 1523-1570, the Basilica San Marco in Venice witnessed a unique collaboration between Italian architect Jacopo Sansovino (1486-1570) and Flemish composer Adrian Willaert (1490-1562) under the patronage of Doge Andrea Gritti (1455-1538), the political and spiritual head of the Venetian Republic. This period was marked by major acoustic innovations with music being performed in accordance with the architecture of the Basilica, and architectural modifications being carried out to accentuate new musical compositions [1]. The intention of this study was to create an interactive timeline to map the major relevant changes that took place in this regard, and allow the listener to actually experience and appreciate the differences in sound quality that resulted from these changes.
Status quo: Literature review
There were two works of special interest and relevance to this project. The first of these was the CAMERA project (Centre for Acoustical and Musical Experiments in Renaissance Architecture) by Laura Moretti [2, 3] and the second was a thesis carried out by Braxton Boren at the University of Cambridge [4]. The CAMERA project performed recordings in the current church by placing sound sources and sensors at important locations within the Basilica. Boren used acoustic simulations, factoring in the sound absorption, reflection, scattering and propagation characteristics from different surfaces (such as statues, walls or pillars) to simulate the sound received at specific points within the church as it was in the 16th century. While these detailed results served to have a good idea about the theoretical parameters associated with the construction and layout of the church, there is still no platform to understand the aural implications of these studies and actually transport the listener to the 16th century.
Aim of this study
The aim of this study was to focus on 4 interesting time-points, of which two reflect the major changes brought about by architect Jacopo Sansovino. The first time-point would be the situation before any changes were made by Sansovino – when the Doge would occupy the hexagonal bigonzo pulpit outside the chancel. The second would be when the new Doge Andrea Gritti could no longer climb to the pulpit due to obesity, and had to move down to a throne in the chancel: Sansovino then built a pergolo (small balcony) near the throne. Consequently, the choir was relocated to the pergolo, and five years later, to facilitate the appreciation of the nuances of the performances of the coro spezzato (separated choirs) created by Willaert, Sansovino added a second pergolo opposite to the first one. This would be our third time-point of the timeline. The last time point would be the state of the church some years after the period of collaboration between Willaert and Sansovino, in order to offer a comparison between the musical quality and effects experienced in the 16th century versus those observed later. To simulate these configurations, we reused Laura Moretti's soundtracks [5] and modified them in accordance to Boren's results.
Tools and methods
To modify the soundtracks, we used the free software Audacity, which allows one to make various changes to the waveform of the audio signal that is used as the input to the software, such as introducing delay, reverberation, amplification, echo, etc… We mainly decided to focus on reverberation and amplification as these effects were the most pertinent to describe the impact that a structure like San Marco may have on the sound. To estimate the parameters associated with these two effects, we used the knowledge of the dimensions of the interior of the church. For instance, to recreate the sound as heard from the nave, we introduced reverberation considering that the width of the nave was 30m. However, the sound thus obtained was quite feeble and we therefore added an amplification step so that the volume remained unchanged compared to the original.
The aforementioned 4 time-points were represented in the form of an interactive timeline using the online tool Prezi. On this interface, it is possible to view the entire timeline with all the important events in this period, and to zoom in on a particular event to view the associated details. Finally, coming to the presentation of the actual aural renditions of the work we carried out, the user can zero-in on a specific time-point to view the relevant locations within the church. The listener can then select one of the locations within this view to hear the soundtrack obtained by us that corresponds to that particular location within the church at that particular time.
Results and interpretations
The sounds that we generated for each of these time-points were concordant with the results of Boren. For instance, at the first time-point, one can hear that the sound perceived at the nave is much more indistinct than the one that would have been heard by the Doge seated at the bigonzo. Additionally, our results also allowed us to evaluate the impact of the introduction of coro spezzato in San Marco, and the modifications made by Sansovino to highlight the subtleties of this particular style of music brought to Venice by Willaert. In our third time-point, one can notice that the relocation of the second part of the choir to the second pergolo built by Sansovino allows a much better discernment of their vocal performance, compared to the situation of the second time-point where it used to perform behind the high altar in the chancel.
With the timeline produced as part of this work, the listener can really appreciate how the acoustics of the Basilica San Marco changed with the introduction of new styles of music as produced by Willaert coupled with the corresponding architectural modifications brought about by Sansovino. This work has the capacity to have a broader impact on the general awareness about acoustic ideas that existed in the 16th century in Venice, since the output in the form of an interactive timeline with visual and audio information is more intuitive and accessible as compared to pure theoretical acoustic considerations. Further, the concepts and methodology used in this work are easily extendable to other periods and locations in history, and also other domains of study.

Protože ženám v té době nebylo na konferencích Asociace dovoleno přednášet, odprezentoval za ni její práci Joseph Henry ze Smithsonova institutu. Zároveň, ačkoliv její experimenty jasně nerozlišovaly mezi efektem dopadajícího slunečního záření a dlouhovlnného infračerveného, objevila příčinu skleníkového efektu.

Electrical Updates for 2020 with John Williamson, Part 2
For today's episode, we have John Williamson, Operations Supervisor with the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, join Structure Talk for a second podcast on electrical updates.
The show starts off with John talking about the recent adoption process for the 2020 National Electrical Code. The following topics are covered, among other things:
How NFPA matters to the NEC?
Why does the code about GFCI protection not include outdoor lights?
Who are these people submitting proposals or public inputs to have the code changed?
Are we making things safer or more dangerous with these code updates?
How big of a deal is it buying a house that has a live knob-and-tube wiring in it?
Bill Oelrich: I'm gonna toss this over to Reuben because this is gonna be a geek session on electricity.
John Williamson: The NEC, the National Electrical Code. You could call it a model code, but more importantly, it's an installation standard.
BO: Welcome everybody, you're listening to Structure Talk, a Structure Tech presentation. My name is Bill Oelrich alongside Reuben Saltzman and Tessa Murry as always, and we are here on today's episode with a special guest, this is part two with Mr. John Williamson, operations supervisor with the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, and we're here to talk more electrical… I'm gonna toss this over to Reuben because this is gonna be a geek session on electricity, so I don't fall in the electrical geek world, I'm good enough to navigate the ship into the deep water, but now I'm gonna turn it over to the captain, Mr. Reuben Saltzman.
Reuben Saltzman: Thanks, Bill, I'm sure John would appreciate us mentioning that today, he is not acting in any capacity as anybody official with the state of Minnesota, right, John?
JW: Yes. I'm here just to share information, so what's the great disclaimer? Any opinions expressed today are solely my own or something like that.
RS: That's perfect. We've heard that spat up many times, we all get the gist of it, I think, and that applies to you today.
BO: I should do that disclaimer on everything I say," These are my opinions, they are not those of Structure Tech or Structure Talk.
RS: Yeah, the opinions expressed in the show are solely those of the author or not the blah blah blah blah. Alright, so John, last time we had you on the show, we were talking about NEC updates for Minnesota… Well, actually, we're just talking about NEC updates, what's kinda interesting about our electrical code here in Minnesota is that we adopt the whole thing, I mean with the building code, we adopt the residential code, the international residential code, and then we chop it up and we make a million amendments to it, and we just kinda put our own flavor on it here in Minnesota, but for the NEC, we just take the whole thing when we say," there it is," right?
JW: Yeah, and during this recent adoption process for the 2020 NEC, you know the NEC the national electrical code, you could call it a model code, but more importantly it's an installation standard, the building codes on the other hand, truly are model code, they're model codes that can be amended at the local level, we don't have… Earthquakes have been outlawed in Minnesota, that's what I've been told, so we don't have any earthquake provisions in our code, in our building code, there's snow loads and wind loads, there's all sorts of regional factors that come into play when it comes to adapting building codes. So jurisdictions will select a model building code and then they'll go through the process of amending it for their jurisdiction or region or state or county, whatever. The electrical code when you stop and think about it, NFPA has 300 different codes and standards that they developed, the NEC is first and foremost, it's just an insulation standard, it doesn't talk about licensing, doesn't talk about permits, doesn't talk about inspections, and unlike the development of building codes, the Electrical Code is really amended prior to its publication. In fact, the 2023 NEC is in development right now.
RS: Okay, so now the last time we had you on, we were kind of in the process of adopting this code, but it has been adopted now, so that was like a couple of months ago, and now it's official, right?
JW: Correct. Yep. The process started back in January of 2019, the board of electricity passed a motion to get the ball rolling, and the 2020 NEC was essentially available for review online during all of 2019, we fast forward, there was meetings and discussions and whatnot, the intended adoption date usually is July 1st of the year that the code comes out. So looking ahead, the July 1, 2023 will be our target date for getting that code adopted, but anyway, housing industry, they requested that we have a hearing as part of the rule-making process, so we did that, but due to COVID, the Office of Administrative Hearings, they had constraints to put upon them, due to the COVID pandemic, just like all of us, so the hearing didn't take place until August, administrative law judge issued a report recommending that we move forward with the adoption of the code, and by virtue of that, the administrative law judge essentially didn't find any flaws in our rule-making process, one minor little thing, but for the most part, the judge said," Yeah, you guys, you did the right thing, included the public." So we move forward with the adoption. And the wheels kept turning, and the way it worked out, November 17th was the adoption date and the effective date for the 2020 NEC.
BO: So John, I just wanna jump in here real quick. Can you explain what NFPA is and why it matters to the NEC? And maybe just drop the what is the NEC?
JW: NEC is The National Electrical Code, and the NEC is just a familiar acronym, NFPA is the National Fire Protection Association. And so National Fire Protection Association, they have about 300 codes, standards and recommended practices, they actually have their own building code, so that's just yet another model building code similar to the the model building codes out there.
Tessa Murry: Just as a quick clarification question. Does the NEC come from the NFPA?
JW: NFPA is the shepherd. They guide the process. Yes, the NFPA staff, they essentially are the host and they shepherd the process all the way through, but NFPA staff are not the ones writing the code. The code is developed by a wide variety of people, it's a public, open consensus process, anybody can partake in that process, so it's a very open process, and it's done online, that was one of the things that the builder association, unlike the building codes, where usually the amendments aren't considered until you actually have a physical copy of the code in front of you, the NFPA, all of standards that they develop and are responsible for those are all done online in real time, which is pretty amazing when you think about it. And so a lot of people just haven't quite figured out yet how to plug into that process. Hopefully that answers the question.
BO: At least these are things that don't need to be changed on a regular basis.
JW: Yeah.
BO: John, it's funny to me that you're already talking about changes for 2023, the obvious question that pops into my head is, Well, why don't you make the changes now? I mean, if there's stuff on the table is, does it take that long to actually move these things through this process?
JW: The 2020 NEC was published last fall, it was published in September of 2019. And as soon as a new NEC is published, the door's open basically for the next three-year cycle, and public input as they're now called, they were due for the 2023, they were due by September 9th or 10th of this year, those public inputs are online, they're already available online, in fact, one of my colleagues is attending virtually, he's attending, he's on the code panel, and he's gonna be meeting all next week with his fellow panel members reviewing all the public inputs for the 2023 code, so it is… It's a lot to take into consideration. And here we are. We're just adopting the 2020 code, and yet the 2023 is already in motion.
RS: Bless your friend's heart. That's wonderful, and that sounds like the most boring Zoom meeting I could possibly imagine.
JW: Unless you're a code geek. If you're a code geek, good stuff.
RS: I appreciate people like that. All right, now I wanna kinda pick up where we left off, John, we were talking about some of the new requirements that came out, and you told us about this new requirement for GFCI protection, basically for almost all outdoor outlets, and I re-listened to the last podcast and I had said receptacle, and I remember Tessa's like," Reuben, why do you say receptacle?" And I'm like," I don't know, I mean the same thing as outlet," but I realized I had a good opportunity, it was a good learning moment, and I blew it because really, I do say a receptacle a lot of the time when I'm talking to people like you, John, because you know there's a difference. An outlet is anywhere that power is utilized, it's like it could be a light or a smoke alarm, or it could be a number of different things, a receptacle is something that you plug… A plug into. Did I butcher that too much, John? Does that sound right to you?
JW: No, we're gonna make electrician out of you one of these days. That was good. Yeah, an outlet defined in the code is just a point on the system where power is derived or current is derived, and you're right, it could be a lighting outlet, a receptacle outlet, an equipment outlet, appliance outlet, smoke alarm, it's just a point on the system, a junction box or a cable sticking out of a wall where you make connection. Receptacle outlet is specifically talking about the actual device that you…
RS: Excellent. Thank you. So one of the things we talked about last time is that now you need GFCI protection for outdoor outlets, and I guess we didn't really dig into that to make it clear, we're not talking about outdoor receptacles because GFCI protection is already required for 120-volt receptacles, but now you need it for outlets, and that's like anywhere power's coming out, like for an air conditioner, an air conditioner outlet does not mean a receptacle, you plug in an air conditioner into, it's basically… Where does the outlet begin, is that the disconnect box?
JW: Yeah, or junction box. So…
RS: Okay, sure.
JW: Yeah, I mean, if you visualize a new home under construction and they just Sheetrocked it yesterday, you got all these boxes sitting around with wires pushed back in the box, that's an outlet. That's an outlet. It's a good way to visualize an outlet, yep.
RS: Cool…
JW: So, not to interrupt you, but the simple way to think about it is it covers… It's not practical to ever plug in a AC condensing unit, it's probably not even allowed by the manufacturer, but that new provision, which we can dig into that covers cord-and-plug-connected equipment or hardwired equipment, like how a condenser is typically done. So it's a big deal.
RS: And something that threw me for a loop just a little… I thought I knew the answer, but I sent you an email a couple of weeks ago just to verify this, it says that it's needed for all branch circuits rated at 150 volts or less to ground, and I was like," Well, wait, how does that cover 240 volts? Is this measuring each leg on a 240 volt and measuring that to ground?" And you were very kind with your long explanation, which basically just said," Yes, dummy, it's line to ground, not line to line." On a 240-volt circuit, you basically, you got two hots and when to measure the voltage from hot to hot, you got 240 volts, but if you only take one of those and you go to ground, it'd be half of that it'd be 120 or 125, whatever it is, and so with that language, when they're saying you need GFCI protection for 150 volts or less to ground, it pretty much covers everything residential, right?
JW: Yes, it does.
RS: Okay. Alright.
JW: Yeah. Real briefly, the reason the code talks in those terms or use that methodology, that has to do with UL standards or product certification standards, standards that are applicable to circuit breakers and devices, and so you've got all these standards that are out there that kinda use this technical way of establishing the ratings, but we also have to keep in mind, the National Electrical Code is adapted in other countries, there could be areas in the code, it's not gonna be applicable in a residential situation, but there's other areas in the code where you have systems in buildings, especially in industrial places where you've got these odd-ball systems that will have a different voltage to ground or different voltage line to line, but they all fall within a specific category, so the… It's about establishing categories to make sure that all the different systems are covered, so when the Electrical Code talks about a single-phase branch circuit rated 150 volts or less to ground 50 AMps or less. Yeah, that's basically everything that you would find in a residential situation or a home. The whole emphasis… So we can talk a little bit about the history, but the public input came about due to some fatalities related to air conditioning equipment, so that's how they establish that threshold 150 volt or less to ground, 50 AMps or less.
RS: Now, what if you have a 60-Amp compressor?
JW: That did not get looped in. Now, I talked to a colleague the other day, there was talk about revisiting this section in the code 210.8f to change that 50-Amp threshold up to 60-Amp, because that was really what they were trying to… They were really… Meant to do that, but the explanation I got from my co-worker was that what we're talking about here is the rating of the single-phase branch circuit, and this language was somewhat borrowed from another area in the code that was dealing with receptacles. We're not dealing with receptacles here, we're dealing with the circuit itself, and 50-Amp is a common threshold for receptacle ratings, 60-Amp is a common threshold when you're talking about circuit breaker rating, so it's really just a technical issue in the code, it doesn't have any specific intent behind it. What it did do, obviously, being that the threshold is set at 50 AMps, it does loop in all of the 30, 40 and 50-Amp air conditioners that are out there.
RS: Sure. Okay, and then one more thing on this topic, before we leave this, it's saying that you need GFCI protection for these outdoor outlets, but based on our definition of an outlet, that's also a light fixture, so it seems as though it should include lights. However, there is an exception and it says that outdoor lights are not included in this requirement, and I'm kind of curious why, because I look at my own house and underneath my deck, I wanted to have some nice Christmas lights that are turned on and off by the flip of a switch, so I unscrew the light bulb in my flood light and I installed one of those little socket adapter thingies where it lets me plug Christmas lights into a plug, it turns my light bulb into a receptacle. Now I'm at risk of electrocution. Now of course, I'm a smarter home owner. And before I did that, I install the GFCI breaker in my main panel just to make the whole thing safe, but who is gonna do this? Right, and why don't we just include outdoor lights?
TM: You install the GFCI breaker in your panel for that?
RS: I sure did. Absolutely, I've got a hot tub pretty close by, so… You know.
BO: Reuben did you pull the permit? Did you pull a permit for that work that you did in there?
RS: You're not letting John ask the question… Answer the question, Bill.
JW: Yeah, so there's two things I'll respond to. Those adapters you see at the home center, there's a million different configurations of adapters and different things, they're meant to be used indoors, if they're used outdoors, they're really not weatherproof rated, if it's under a eve, it's probably not the worst thing in the world. But they're still not damp-location rated, but anyway, and holiday lighting, Christmas lighting, that's… Those are listed and labeled products intended for short term seasonally used, 90 days or less, so yes, people will do things that they need to do to get their lights on, their holiday lights hopefully, those things are taken away at the end of the season, but to get back to your main question, one of the criteria, I guess we'll call it in the code development process, is to make sure that any changes in the code have merit. They have to be substantiated from a technical perspective or a safety perspective, the code, even though there's hundreds and sometimes thousands, I think for the 2017 code, there was 5000 or 6000 public inputs or proposals, as we used to call them.
JW: So there's a large number of proposals that come in, a lot of it is just editorial, but for a major change to take place in the code, there has to be a reason for it, and when the code panel and the industry is reviewing these public inputs, the public inputs were put forward because of these fatalities, that was… It's a serious situation. However, none of the fatalities resulted from a light fixture or from a lighting outlet, they were all due to equipment malfunctions, air conditioning equipment primarily.
RS: So basically, there's no body count for this, so we're not gonna change the rules 'cause there's no way to prove that it's even needed, right?
JW: Right. So when you go in and you look at the archive for the 2020 code, you'll see that the panel statement says that lighting was exempted because they had no tangible reason, there was no… No technical or substantiation that warranted including lighting outlets.
RS: That's perfectly logical. And I'm glad that it is that way. That makes a lot of sense. And…
BO: So, John, if I could jump in real quick, I have a question. Who are the people who are submitting these public comments? Are they typically attorneys because a lot of this is resulting from litigation, or is it just an electrical contractor or manufacturer, or who by and large are submitting all of these requests?
JW: Most of the… Based on all the years I've been doing it, most proposals that come in or public inputs are people that are in the industry, they're in the trenches, they would like to see the code change for some particular reason, they're just engaged every day. It could be an attorney, but it's usually electricians, contractors, electrical contractors, inspectors, testing laboratory people, manufacturers, the same people that are submitting public input. It's a time commitment. There's no question about it. It takes time to… To put your thoughts together and to log in and put your inputs in, and then of course, in our busy lives, all of a sudden, Oh my gosh, September 10, I've gotta have these proposals ready to go in… There's that part of it too, but the people that partake in the code development process for the most part, are the same people that are actually represented on the code panels, the code panels are structured that there cannot be… No one category can control the code panel. It's a very diverse group.
JW: I don't have a list in front of me, but basically the code panels are made up of manufacturers, testing laboratories, labor organizations, contractors and inspector organization, wide group of people, and those are the same people that are… They're code geeks and they kind of… They're engaged with the process and it's easy for them to submit public inputs, and I'm sure there's probably inputs that come forward due to litigation. That would probably come from an insurance industry person.
BO: Okay. And then one other question before we get off of this exterior GFCI protection, when you've got these larger amperage resets or you've got the GFCI on the branch circuit, where does the reset typically live, is that at the breaker, is it in between the breaker and the device, is it right at the device? Where's the reset button?
JW: Well, for GFCI receptacle, the test and reset functions are gonna be on that receptacle.
BO: But in air conditioning, if it's hardwired, where are we gonna find it?
JW: Well, for new construction, it's gonna be back at the main service panel, that circuit breaker, it'll have a test and reset function on it, if you have a retrofit situation you might not be able to get a circuit breaker, you might not be able to find a matching circuit breaker for that existing service panel, you might not… There might be a mismatch on brands or whatever, or maybe that electrical panel is out of date and they're not making breakers for it anymore. In that case, you might end up having to put a circuit breaker enclosure adjacent to the AC condensing unit outside, and then that's where your test and reset is.
RS: Well and that will take the place of the disconnect, right? I mean that would become the new disconnect.
JW: Yep, it would function… It would… Well, a GFCI in and of itself is not a disconnecting fuse, you can't use the test button as a disconnecting…
RS: But if it was a GFCI breaker, you could flip the breaker off, right?
JW: Yeah, oh yes, absolutely, yes.
RS: Got it. Although it sounds as though Minnesota made a special exception to the enforcement to this right now because of lack of breakers. Is that right?
JW: Yes, despite all of our effort to notify the industry, everybody has been waiting for the 2020 to become effective, but then despite our best interest to notify the masses, there was… Some people were taken by surprise, and then immediately the comments back to us was, "We can't find… We're having a difficult time finding GFCI breakers, AFCI breakers, let alone two-pole GFCI breakers. Due to the COVID crisis, there are supply chain issues across the world." I know a guy that was a representative for about 30 different manufacturers here locally, and he's like their ships parked off the West Coast that can't be unloaded because dock workers are stricken with COVID or the factories in Indonesia and Asia are stricken with COVID, so there's some huge supply chain issues right now.
JW: I got a little project here at home, I needed some PVC conduit and I went to the big-box store and I couldn't find what I needed, just everyday stuff is just not there. We decided we're not going to enforce that provision 210.8f, and the way we can do that is in the code, there's a provision that says the authority having jurisdiction that AHJ if the code is mandating the use of a new product and it's not yet available, we can just use the old or the previous code for the time being until the products become available. So we're kind of using that as justification for not enforcing that provision in the code right now. At some point the supply chain issues will get resolved and those two-pole 30 and 40-Amp GFCI breakers will be available and then we'll just move forward like we normally do.
RS: It was helpful for me to hear that. I had a project I was working on at my house, I was gonna put it in a 240-volt space heater in my basement bathroom. And I could not find a single 240-volt GFCI breaker. I mean, all the 240 breakers were cleared out on the shelves at all of the big-box retailers, and I was just going," What the heck is going on here?" But now I get it.
TM: Reuben is that the bathroom that already has the in-floor heat built in?
JW: It's the same one. Yeah.
TM: You just need more heat?
RS: Well the in-floor heat is for your feet Tessa. It doesn't…
TM: Oh my god. It radiates up, it makes the whole space warm, apparently not warm enough.
RS: I don't keep it… I don't keep it at 90 like you do.
TM: Oh no, that's not me.
RS: I know that's Jay.
TM: That is Jay.
RS: That's Jay.
TM: He would love to use that bathroom.
RS: It's… Actually that in-floor heat is not cheap. We've talked about this, I've got one of those electric meters where my phone will tell me how much power I'm using right now, and when that in-floor heat kicks on, you see a big jump in your house's electrical usage. So I…
TM: Really? I haven't tracked it, I have no idea.
RS: Oh yeah, it's a lot.
TM: I don't wanna know.
RS: I keep it at a modest 75 degrees at the floor, it's not enough for your toes are toasty, it's just that the floor is not cold, that's it. It does not warm up the bathroom.
BO: First world problem, Reuben.
RS: This not a problem.
TM: You should… You know what, the European countries have a lot of heaters where they can actually hang their towel on them, so when you get out of the shower, you grab a warm towel.
RS: I'm not that luxurious, I never will be.
JW: Are you guys familiar with the Panama shower head? It's actually, it's an electric shower head. Have you ever seen one of those?
RS: What does it do?
JW: It heats the water as the water passes through the shower head, it's electrically heated. I've seen it in Central America, I've seen it before, but basically, there's just two wires coming out of the wall going to the electric shower head and yeah…
RS: What could go wrong?
JW: Yeah, exactly.
RS: You know what, John, that brings up an interesting topic because that's another thing that changed in this new version of the code, and we touched on it last time, you brought it up in the last podcast, but I've heard some other sides of the story or some different opinions on this one. So I wanna talk about this for a minute. So you've got the Panama shower head and it's got two wires coming out of it, you gotta plug it in, where are you gonna plug it in? It used to be that the requirement was you need a receptacle, not saying outlet, you need a receptacle within… What was it like three feet of the sink, is that right?
JW: Yes.
RS: Okay, so you needed an outlet within three feet of the sink, but now we're saying you can't have that receptacle within three feet of the shower, or if it's a bath tub, you basically draw a line straight up from the lip of the tub, you go eight feet up and then you come on over, you can't have it in that zone… Well eight feet up and three feet out, sorry I didn't clarify there. There's like a three-foot zone where you cannot have receptacles anymore, and it seemed logical, we've already had that restriction for chandeliers, you can't have chandeliers above your bath tub and some other similar luminaires, but now that we've added this to receptacles it seemed like a good idea, but I heard some other people taking the other side of the argument and saying this doesn't make any sense. It's always been fine. Luminaires are a different beast because they're not GFCI protected. The receptacle that you gotta put by your sink does need to be GCI protected, and…
RS: What about the kids who wanna sit in a tub and have their phone on and they wanna have it plugged into a charger? What are they gonna do? They're gonna use a low voltage charger, they're gonna plug it in the outlet, and if they drop their phone in the tub, nothing's gonna happen. They'll fry their phone, but that's about it. You're not gonna kill anybody. But now you move that outlet more than 3-feet away, and a kid wants to charge their phone, what are they gonna do? They're gonna go get an extension cord. And it's like, what are we doing? Are we making things safer or more dangerous with this code update. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
JW: Yeah. The genesis for that, and I don't remember the specific public input, I don't know that there was a fatality, for example, or a body count somewhere. But the idea was that forever, we've had this provision in the code that you mentioned the zone picture this invisible zone 8-feet high, 3-feet out from the tub or the shower stall, and within that zone, you couldn't have any kind of pendant lighting or swag lighting or chain-hung lighting or track lighting, paddle fans. You couldn't have anything that somebody would be tempted to grab out of instinct. If they were slipping and falling in the tub or trying to steady themselves, you don't want people grabbing something like that either intentionally or just out of instinct. So we've always had that provision in the code. The code does allow obviously recessed lights over a bath tub and shower stall, either damp location or wet location rated, depending on circumstance. You can even have a wall sconces on a wall. If you got a big bathroom with a big tub and had a beautiful marble surround, the code would not restrict you from having a wall sconces in that location.
JW: So the idea was, is to just take that concept and apply it to receptacles to avoid the situation than I have in my very own bathroom here when I wired my house back in '86, the basin area is accessible from the master bedroom and from the hallway, the toilet closet and where the bath tub and shower is is a separate little cubicle. And I wanted a receptacle in there for whatever, maintenance. I just… I'm an electrician, I put receptacles all over the place. So I got a receptacle on the wall, and in fact it's almost underneath the toilet paper holder. It's about 12-inches off the floor, but it's 2-feet from the tub. There's nothing stopping somebody from sitting in that tub and plugging in a portable TV or radio or whatnot. Not that we would ever do that, but that's the hazard they wanna go after. They wanna eliminate people doing that. However, when they developed the language for the 2020 code, they just borrowed the language for light fixtures or luminaires, and they didn't run that zone down to the floor.
JW: So that's a change that we're probably gonna see in the 2023 code. They're gonna modify the language to close that loop-hole or that gap that was created. A lot of times when changes come out in the code, they don't necessarily get it right the first time. There's already half a dozen proposals to fix that provision in the 2023 code. So what I'm visualizing moving forward is that this zone will be 8-feet high or it'll go down to the floor. Right now it starts at the threshold of the shower stall or the edge of the tub, the lip of the tub, it goes up, but it doesn't go down. So they really didn't solve the problem they were trying to solve. We also have the provision in the 2020 code that says, "Okay, bathrooms that are too small to meet this specific provision, they just want you to get that receptacle."
JW: It's still gotta be within 3-feet of the basin, but put it on the wall farthest away from the tub or shower stall, and that in and of itself is not the best way to approach a code. It becomes more of a performance issue than a prescriptive issue. So when you're dealing with performance provisions in a code, you leave it up to the owner and the electrician and the home builder to figure it out. And sometimes that's good. It can be a good thing for kitchen counter outlets and island outlets and peninsulas and stuff, but sometimes it just creates an environment for people to argue too at the same time. So hopefully they'll clean that up in the 2023 code. So it really comes down to common sense. Keep the receptacle within 3-feet of the basin, but keep it away from the tub and shower to the extent possible.
RS: Okay. Alright. I think just one more question that I had that applies to what we see as home inspectors regularly. And there's a new requirement, it's 422.5a, which deals with some pumps… Well, it deals with a whole bunch of appliance that now need GFCI protection, but the two big ones that jumped out at me were some pumps and dishwashers. Can you just enlighten us on those?
JW: Yes. Even though most of the GFCI provisions are back in article 210, when it comes to appliances they've separated things out and put them in Article 422, which is appliances, but yet they're connected together. They refer back and forth to each other. So yeah, for specific appliances, we've got automotive vacuum machines that you see at the self-serve car washes, drinking water coolers and bottle fill stations, cord-and-plug connected high pressure spray washing machines, tire-inflation machines, vending machines, and then looks like for the 2020 code, they added some pumps and dishwashers. Now, dishwashers, that's not new. That was in the 2017 code. It was back in 210.8, they just basically moved it to Article 422. So the 2017 code…
RS: But the difference here before, didn't it apply to receptacles and now it applies to the appliance… Or am I mistaken?
JW: No, in the 2017 code, there was… Dishwashers were required to be GFCI protected both for cord-and-plug connected and hardwired. So that was in the 2017. They just move dishwashers over here to 422 where it really belongs along with all the other appliances. Some pumps, yes, they've been added, don't have the history in front of me on that, but some pumps for the most part have always been GFCI-protected because they're typically in an unfinished area in the basement and receptacles, and those unfinished areas of basements have always… For the most part, been required to be GFCI protected, so…
RS: Well, and with the new code, it doesn't matter if it's a finished basement or not, if it's a basement… It needs GFCI protection, right?
JW: Right.
RS: I think that's all I had on the code updates. And then Tessa had a question about knob-and-tube.
TM: Yeah, this isn't really a code question, but just kind of a general, I guess, electrical question for you, John, is here in the Twin Cities, we have a lot of older housing stock, by older, I mean like built 100 years ago that has, still has knob-and-tube, and a lot of it is still live, and what we find as inspectors a lot of times is that the visible wiring or the accessible wiring has been updated with Romex or something else, but there's still knob-and-tube running in the walls. So what would you say to a person who's buying a house that has this live knob-and-tube in it, how big of a deal is it?
JW: Well, it's actually called concealed knob-and-tube. We just obviously for conversation, we just call it knob-and-tube. Everybody is familiar with that expression, but it's concealed knob-and-tube wiring, and the reason that it's categorized as that is that in the industrial world and commercial world, it was called open wiring on insulators. And maybe you've seen pictures of old grain mills and industrial establishments in Duluth even or downtown Minneapolis, there's some cool pictures of old warehouses where you've got these big cables running on porcelain insulators, and that was how they wired buildings back then. On the home side, they didn't want that stuff exposed, so then they used smaller conductors, number 12, number 14 conductors, but the concept was the same, except that now, this wiring it's single conductors, they were solid conductors, single solid copper conductors with rubber and cloth covering and where they penetrated or went through perpendicular to a floor joist, for example, they went through a porcelain tube, and where they were running down the side of a floor joist, they were tied off to a knob, and that's where knob-and-tube comes from. And so there are literally millions of homes in the United States that still have knob-and-tube wiring, and you might not believe what I'm gonna tell you, but the electrical code allows you to extend knob-and-tube wiring to this very day.
JW: Nobody would ever do that. Nobody would scrounge up a bunch of knobs and tubes, and there was a sleeving material, they called it loom, I've got samples in my office, nobody would go to an antique store and find a bunch of knobs and tubes and loom and wire and extend their circuitry that way. You would use a piece of NM cable or non-metallic sheathed cable, but I'm just trying to maybe not push back, but we have people that just when they hear knob-and-tube, they immediately wanna condemn it. And the reality is, is that you can still extend knob-and-tube circuit in existing installations, again, 99% of the time, people are gonna… If they have access to it, they're gonna remove it, replace it with modern wiring methods, but technically they could extend that. And as an inspector, I can recall a couple of situations where the knob-and-tube was extended and they did it in a safe manner. So what do you say to a prospective buyer? If the concealed knob-and-tube wiring is in good working condition and hasn't been attacked by rodents, or if it hasn't been overheated or overloaded and the insulation hasn't dried up and falling off the conductors, it might be in perfect working condition, but you're not gonna know that unless you can see it and then inspect it somehow.
JW: I don't know how you go about doing that. The other thing that people need to be aware of and cautious of is the home weatherization that has been going on for what since the 70's, if you've got concealed knob-and-tube wiring in the walls of your home, and that wiring now has been encapsulated in some form of insulation, that's a fire hazard. It's a code violation, electrical code violation, and it's also a fire hazard, so we've worked with the weatherization people to make sure that they're not doing that kind of activity if they're gonna weatherize a home and there's knob-and-tube wiring in the walls, the first thing they need to do is essentially rewire that portion of the home.
BO: You did, and that's actually a great place to kinda put an end to this episode, but it'd be a fun conversation to talk more about knob-and-tube and that whole encapsulation business because who's actually enforcing that is interesting to me. Insurance companies are just outright saying, "Well, we probably don't wanna ensure that." I don't think everybody is saying that, but I know there's a few that don't wanna have anything to do with it, so I think that's a great topic to pick up on another day, so John, thank you very much for your time, we appreciate your knowledge and expertise, it's fun watching you and Reuben go deep on some geek speak, I'm flying a little different level than you guys are at, but I learn something each time we get these opportunities, so thank you very much.
JW: You're very welcome. Thank you.
BO: Alright, well, everybody, you've been listening to Structure Talk, a Structure Tech presentation. My name is Bill Oelrich, happy to be here. Alongside Tessa Murry and Reuben Saltzman, thanks for listening and we'll catch you next time.

New York, NY, Monday, November 3, 2014 /3BL Media/ – This evening from 8 PM – 9 PM EST, and for the fourth consecutive year, Players Choice Award winners will be announced exclusively on MLB Network.
WEST HILLS, Calif., October 28, 2014 /3BL Media/- Every month, students from El Camino Real Charter High School (ECRCHS) Action Team, part of the national youth volunteer program administered by the Major League Baseball Players Trust and Volunteers of America give up some of their valuable personal time to help clean up Woolsey Canyon. On the second Sunday each month, from 9:00AM to noon, dozens of ECRCHS students gather to keep Woolsey Canyon environmentally pristine.
Action Teams on opposite sides of the country were honored this week for serving their communities.
The Manatee School for the Performing Arts Action Team, an active participant in the program since 2012, was recognized at the Palmetto (Fla.) town hall meeting on Monday night for adopting four local parks. Each Saturday morning during the school year, the Manatee Action Team Captains come together for three hours to help clean the local parks.
On September 2, Major League baseball players united together to "strikeout cancer" and raise awareness and funds for cancer-related charities across the United States.
Jason Motte's lofty goal is to strikeout cancer. On Sept. 2, he had the whole baseball world watching him pitch.
It was late 2010 when the Cardinals' reliever and his wife Caitlin were first summoned from the bullpen in the fight against cancer. At the time, Caitlin's grandfather was a cancer patient at The West Clinic in Memphis, Tenn., and they wanted to do all they could to help. The "StrikeOut Cancer with Jason Motte Foundation" was founded shortly thereafter.

Q: puppet mysql user permissions trouble I'm using Puppet to setup mysql and some users.
database_grant { "${db_user}/${dbname}":
  privileges => ['all'],
  require => [ Database_user[$db_user], Database[$dbname] ],
}

Where $db_user and is something like test@localhost and $db_name is test_v3.
What I'm trying to do is give this user permissions on all hosts or in other words test@%, but that doesn't seem to be working. Anyone have any ideas? I tried running puppet with just changing test@localhost to test@% but that didn't seem to do anything. Thanks!

A: I must have not saved the file on the puppet environment that I was working on because changing it to test@% ended up working!

Digging Morbid Holes
In 2009, after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Senator Jim Bunning said, "Even though she was operated on, usually nine months is the longest that anybody would live." Bunning was openly licking his chops at the opportunity to get rid of a Supreme Court justice as liberal as Ginsburg. Today, Bunning is dead and Ginsburg is still very much alive. Most Republicans salivating at the opportunity of her seat being filled by Donald Trump aren't open about it. Others, not so much.
Last January, during a segment on Fox & Friends, a graphic aired showing Ginsburg's photo along with "1933 – 2019." They're not very subtle over there at Fox & Friends.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has openly stated that if an opening occurs on the court in 2020, that he'd fill it, despite blocking President Obama's nominee in 2016 with the argument it would be a cardinal sin to fill a seat during an election year. McConnell wasn't just asked at a forum about an opening, the question was if a justice "dies."
Last January, on the racist, alt-right podcast that you didn't even know existed, Fash the Nation, hosts Jazzhands McFeels and Marcus Halberstram (is his name really "Jazzhands"?), were giddy over another Ginsburg cancer scare and said they "have the champagne on ice and the crab dance [meme] ready to go" when she dies. The crab dance is a reference to the 2018 celebratory "Crab Rave" song and they posted memes on Twitter of a crab lurking behind the Justice. Other racists joined in sharing memes of Ginsburg and crabs and once again, making liberals wonder what the hell they're talking about. Republicans suck at humor and metaphors.
I think conservatives should take a lesson from Jim Bunning and think twice before speculating on the health of Ginsburg, or they may be the ones looking over their shoulders in fear of getting the pinch (see what I did there, conservatives? That's how you do it).
There's little doubt Republicans were feeling giddy upon hearing news this weekend that Ginsburg underwent another procedure to remove cancer. I'm also certain every liberal in the nation had heart fluctuations.
It's not just morbid to speculate on and hope for ill health for Ginsburg. It's cruel and disgusting. It's also disgusting to hope the economy goes south to help your chances of winning an election. But, it's not morbid to speculate on the economy. We're always speculating on the economy.
Donald Trump faces a tough re-election in 2020 for reasons outside the economy. Mostly because he's a vile, disgusting, racist, stupid human being who's doing a lousy job as president and is an international embarrassment to the United States. But, if the economy goes down, so does Trump. I feel safe in saying there's no way Donald Trump's presidency can survive an economic downturn. If a recession hits before the election (and it will eventually hit), other Republicans will wish they had jumped into the presidential race.
The real questions about a recession are: When will it hit and how hard? I don't want a recession and I think Trump can be defeated without one. Trust me on this; we don't need an even bigger mess left by Trump for a Democrat to clean up.
I also hope Ginsburg stays in her seat as long as she wants, even after a Democrat enters the Oval Office. It's not just her seat that's so important, it's her.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is an American hero and whoever is nominated, whether by a Republican or Democrat, has huge shoes to fill.
It's tough to make predictions on the economy or vacancies on the Supreme Court, but one call easy to make with bullseye accuracy is that Republicans will continue to be heartless troglodytes.

Stressing RBG
Writer Morgan Jerkins recently wrote for The Washington Post that obsessing over the health of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is bad for democracy, bad for her, and bad for us. I totally agree with that, but what is also bad for us is the presidency of one Donald J. Trump.
After having a Supreme Court seat stolen from a Democratic president and given to a racist nincompoop installed by a hostile foreign power, then watching Senate Republicans change the vote requirements for confirming two staunch conservatives, liberals, moderates, and anyone else who cares about the direction of this nation has every right to worry about the Notorious RBG. As understandable as it is, it's also morbid.
It's not just morbid that Republicans and Trump sycophants are wishing for her demise, it's morbid that our hope for her health is less about her and more about the bench. It's like you're picking up ice cream on the way home, and your family hopes you're not in an accident because they really want ice cream.
It will be truly damaging for our nation if Trump gets a third SCOTUS pick when he rightfully never should have gotten one. But, liberals need to take the court as seriously as Republicans. Republicans are always obsessing about the court and hoping to overturn Roe v. Wade in the future. Democrats are complacent because they have the law in place they want, ignoring that there is a real possibility it can be taken away. Republicans are much better at turning out the vote over the Supreme Court. Liberals need to catch up.
RBG has received much attention lately. There has been a recent documentary, a movie of her life starring Felicity Jones, and even her workout routine has been documented. Ginsburg has survived both colorectal and pancreatic cancers. This month, she missed her first oral argument in 25 years while recovering from surgery for lung cancer.
While she is 85 and we worry about her health, she can probably climb more stairs than 72-year-old Donald Trump.
I try not to be as morbid about RBG, and I hope she outlives the Trump presidency/disaster and has a long and healthy retirement. But honestly, I'm the people in my cartoon. My heart jumps into my throat every time some news anchor starts a report on her. They need to start their reports with, "She is just fine so don't panic. Today Ruth Bader Ginsburg, blah blah blah." Stop giving me micro heart attacks, media.
I've had this cartoon idea for a couple months because that's how long the news has been freaking me out over RBG (I have a large file of cartoon ideas, most of which I'll never draw). So, if you stumble upon a wish, a shooting star, a lucky penny, a well, wishbones, a genie in a bottle, don't be selfish. Wish for the health of RBG.

First off, let me apologize if I put an ear worm in your head. I read an article a couple days ago where Ray Parker Jr., the writer of the original version of the theme to Ghostbusters, wasn't very thrilled with the new cover that's going with the reboot of the movie. I haven't listened to the cover because it's by Fallout Boy (they're still around?). I wonder if Parker has as much displeasure with the cover as Huey Lewis (And The News) had with his ripping off his much better tune, "I Want A New Drug."
I decided to insert Trump's sexism into this cartoon, as a lot of people were really unhappy when it was first announced the new Ghostbusters would be women. Last year a lot of people were cheesed off that the new Stars Wars had a black storm trooper. In a galaxy with all sorts of species you're gonna tell me you would walk into the Mos Eisley Cantina and have an issue that there's a black guy in there? I was glad the prequels gave us Mace Windu so Lando Calrissian wasn't the only black guy in the galaxy. Samuel L. Jackson is always the only black guy. Yes. I am a Star Wars geek.
I remember going to see the original Ghostbusters in theaters when it came out. I thought it was a great movie, especially considering they wrote it while filming, had to basically blackmail Bill Murray to do it, and Eddie Murphy had dropped out. I have no issue with women as the new Ghostbusters because I've seen each of these hilarious actors in other projects and I can't think of any men today who could match them (maybe the guys from "Horrible Bosses"). I an't wait to see the movie.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made some comments about what a disaster Donald Trump would be as president. She said he's "fake." Trump took that insult very quietly and with great dignity. Nah!!!!! He exploded (where else?) on Twitter. He said she should resign and "her mind is shot." Donald Trump is questioning someone else's sanity, a Supreme Court Justice at that.
I don't think Ginsburg should have weighed in on the race, but so what? I also don't think Antonin Scalia should have gone duck hunting with Dick Cheney while he was hearing cases involving the Bush administration.
By the way: With names for those who bust ghosts like Venkman, Stantz, Spengler, Zeddemore, and Holtzmann, I think a "Ginsburg" would fit right in.
Best line from Ghostbusters that everyone should carry with them through life was not delivered by Bill Murray but by Ernie Hudson: "When someone asks you if you're a God, you say yes!"
Especially if that someone's a demon.

I'm curious why the entire can you make a living thread was deleted?
I do not know the answer but I have a hunch. The thread was, IMHO, irredeemably hijacked by a poster who was so often quoted by other posters that I suspect that erasing the whole thread became the only viable solution. In addition, even before the serious hijacker appeared, there were posts demeaning the OP.
btw, I am not a Mod and do not know who is. But I also suspect that only Jacob could take down an entire thread.
I didn't see anything worthy of even shutting down the thread, much less deleting it. I mean a poster was a bit rude at time but there was no profanity or personal insults.
It was full of personal insults and of calling other forum members liars! The hijacker was all about making only negative and demeaning comments. No positive contribution whatsoever, IMHO.
HEY. I was saving that thread to read today because it's my day off. I hope it's not gone!!!!
There were posters in that thread that were really trying to help the OP and I thought there was some useful information in there.
BGriff..the OP literally called you a liar saying you couldn't know any owners and always negative about everything related to MSing. Having said that, I found OP smart and did agree with "some" things she said.
I did try to help her understand the layers of this industry, and did find her intelligent, although putting many down.
I think Jacob had to erase thread due to the negativity and nothing positive, just my guess.
The thread contained a frank exchange of views. Although I disagreed with some points offered by Bgriffin I could understand his point of view more as the thread went on.

Agreed. Lots of diverse opinions. The only fly in the ointment was a random poster who started using the 't-word' because others had different viewpoints. Yet she didn't offer any opinions herself.
You didn't miss much and the only fly in the ointment wasn't the one who used the troll word.
The felon thread has been closed and "her" rudeness and name calling towards me has been removed..... , on the road to recovery......thank you Jacob.
Well not all of her nasty comments to you (or others) were removed, but at least the thread was shut down.
Jas one step at a time.....Rome wasn't built in a day...you haven't see or heard from her this past two days.
Today. That all happened yesterday. But yes, I don't expect to see much of her around after that.
Do I believe in reincarnation? When it comes to forum members, why yes. Yes I do.
Edited to add: disgruntled, alienated forum members with low self esteem.
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/08/2018 04:57PM by JASFLALMT.
I suggest that we simply let it fade into distant memory.... I suggest that we let this one quietly fade away on it's own accord as well.... The next time anybody's behavior gets unacceptable, I suggest that we simply report and otherwise ignore it so that it can be quietly removed and forgotten.
MF Johnston....good thoughts, however when someone calls me names, i will defend my life, get it taken down or die trying.
This one is over, I am letting it go..
I would suggest that name calling is not a threat to your life. Engaging in a name-calling war is exactly what we try to tell kids NOT to do in middle school. Report it. Let them be deleted. Move on.
While I appreciate what you are trying to do, we are not your students in middle school.
I agree. However, the insults around here have gotten bad - and not just from newcomers. Is it too much to ask that we not go around insulting one-another? Should we not expect adults to be able to not act like children?
I only "suggest" this. If most folks like the nastiness, I'll be ignored and it will continue. I would like to think that the overwhelming number of folks would like to see it go away and I'm suggesting that the regulars on this forum take the lead, act like adults and not engage.
Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 01/08/2018 06:00PM by MFJohnston.
I need to start drinking beer again. Been a few weeks and the lbs are coming off... but I am also missing out on the fun of the forum. Hello everyone.
So it is not ok to name call in middle school and it is as an adult?
Hey MC, nice to see you. If you go to a thread (now closed) about felons and mystery shopping, there is some entertainment to be had.
Speaking of disappearing threads, did you notice that the job board has been purged and if you go under "Show All Forums" the job boards by area have all disappeared. Stormraven first noticed the job board purge and started a thread about it. Good catch!
I never called her names, being called a drink is not acceptable on a public forum, Jacob agrees.
I'm just going to ignore that you knew exactly what I meant and chose to twist it around for your own ends.
That said, it is not ok for someone to start a thread complaining of name calling then do basically the same thing. Neither is it ok for someone to talk down to us like we are children. For one thing, damn straight it is ok to do a lot of things as an adult that should not be allowed by a child in middle school. For another, it is always easy to say "let it go" when you are not on the other end of the insults.
I actually found the concept of this thread to be positive even if the execution was not so much.
I never stated who called whom names. There were multiple folks who did so.
I do not believe I called anybody a name. I did respond to an insult firmly. That is one of the things I regret.
I look at these responses as justification for cutting into folks. Is that the intention? We have very few forum rules on this site. One of them is that we are not supposed to do exactly this. Why are we working so hard do justify the very actions that are clearly contrary to forum rules?
Again, I use the middle school example, not because I believe anybody here is one of my students, but because the behavior of name-calling is an exchanging of insults is a basic behavior that is considered unacceptable in adult society and one in two which parents and teachers work awful hard to instill in children as childish. The "He called me a naughty name therefore I need to call him one" is very juvenile. Is this what we want to define the forum?
Edit for minor grammar blunder.

Kentucky electric cooperative leaders are cheering an announcement by the Nucor Corp. that it will invest $650 million to nearly double its steel-making capacity at a plant in Gallatin County served by Owen Electric Cooperative.
Leaders of Owen Electric Cooperative, which serves the mill, and East Kentucky Power Cooperative, the wholesale energy provider to Owen Electric, worked closely with Nucor officials to support the phase II expansion, which is expected to add another 70 jobs.
Kentucky offers the lowest industrial electric power rates east of the Mississippi – one of its many attractive features for manufacturers. That played a role in Nucor's decision, as the mill is a major electricity customer and the phase II expansion will create significant additional demand.
East Kentucky Power Cooperative President and CEO Anthony "Tony" Campbell welcomed the decision.
Since Governor Matt Bevin took office in 2015, one out of every four dollars invested by economic development projects in Kentucky has been in Kentucky Touchstone Energy Cooperative territory served by East Kentucky Power Cooperative. That figure does not include even more investments in areas served by Big Rivers Electric and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
"Nucor is doing incredible things at its Kentucky steel mill," Bevin said. "We are excited that, after a substantial investment in 2017, the company has decided to move forward with its phase II project and create additional job opportunities for the county and surrounding communities.
"The steel and primary metals industry are a driving force behind the commonwealth's surging economy, and this announcement reflects the distinct advantages we have to offer engineering and manufacturing companies. Nucor is certainly a major player in this industry, and we are grateful for their commitment to continue forging success right here in Kentucky," Bevin continued.
Nucor purchased the former Gallatin Steel Co. from Gerdau SA and ArcelorMittal in late 2014 for approximately $780 million. The mill currently employs 465 people.

Further to its closure last summer, they have reinstated the Post Office and Laura is now officially the registered Post Mistress. Lord Roberts on The Green is set to become a must stop destination for locals, offering a coffee shop and convenience store with a selection of artisan produce.
Laura says: "We've been really passionate about bringing Lord Roberts on The Green back, and hope it becomes a huge asset to the community as well as a destination for meeting friends and family.
"It's been challenging, managing the refurb, juggling two small children, filming the latest series of A Place in the Sun, and setting up a small business. But we've been so motivated by the positive feedback we've received along the way.
"We'll run seasonal events and courses for both the young and old and are going to be selling some of our favourite produce too. It's been a delight working with some really unique and well-loved artisan brands. Alex and I can't wait to welcome everyone."

The Story/
The Northside Christian Academy Story
Northside Christian Academy was founded in 1961 by Northside Baptist Church, under the direction of Dr. W. Jack Hudson. The school began with 44 students in kindergarten through third grade. The school operated in the church buildings on Old Concord Road in north Charlotte. Both the church and the school grew steadily, and the ministry bought property in 1971 to build a new facility. Northside Baptist church purchased 116 acres in the original transaction. Over the years, additional property was purchased to complete the campus. In the meantime, the school kept adding grades until it had its first graduating class, the Class of 1973.
Godley Construction Company, directed by NBC member Fred Godley, built the new facility, and in the fall of 1973 the school moved to the current location. The educational wings that the school occupies were actually completed first, and a few months later the church auditorium was completed. By March of 1974 the entire ministry was located at the property. Dr. Hudson chose the 333 Jeremiah Boulevard address because of the Scripture verse that the Lord had impressed upon him through the construction process. "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not" (Jeremiah 33:3).
In the early days Headmaster Paul Montgomery did much to develop the program. Other key figures were Coach Marty Benton (who helped develop the athletic department) and Rev. Barry Shearer. Rev. Shearer served short term as a geometry teacher and headmaster, then returned to church staff but continued his involvement in Christian Education. He served as president of the North Carolina Christian School Association from 1991-2007. NCA was an active, accredited member of that association followed by its affiliation with ACSI and the accreditation process. These leaders were followed by capable men and women who have influenced many lives for Christ.
The current student body is over 550 students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. Typically, students score well above national averages on the Stanford Achievement Test, and 98 percent or more of the graduating students go on to further programs of study. NCA graduates are currently serving in business, law, medicine, education, and Christian ministry, just to name a few areas. The school's graduates have been accepted at over 100 colleges and have pursued programs of study both nationally and internationally. Last year's graduating class scored above the national score in each of the three areas of the SAT and earned in excess of 1.7 million dollars in scholarship offers. NCA's faculty members are known for their longevity and their desire to train young men and women to be godly leaders in their culture. The school has enjoyed a rich history of leading the way in Christian Education for 49 years, and is well-situated to continue to develop Kingdom leaders in the twenty-first century.
NCA'S Authentic Christian Faculty!
