DNSSEC-TRUST-ANCHORS.D(5) dnssec-trust-anchors.d DNSSEC-TRUST-ANCHORS.D(5)
dnssec-trust-anchors.d, systemd.positive, systemd.negative - DNSSEC trust anchor configuration files
The DNSSEC trust anchor configuration files define positive and negative trust anchors systemd-resolved.service(8) bases DNSSEC integrity
POSITIVE TRUST ANCHORS
Positive trust anchor configuration files contain DNSKEY and DS resource record definitions to use as base for DNSSEC integrity proofs. See
RFC 4035, Section 4.4 for more information about DNSSEC trust anchors.
Positive trust anchors are read from files with the suffix.positive located in /etc/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/, /run/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/
and /usr/lib/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/. These directories are searched in the specified order, and a trust anchor file of the same name in an
earlier path overrides a trust anchor files in a later path. To disable a trust anchor file shipped in /usr/lib/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/ it
is sufficient to provide an identically-named file in /etc/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/ or /run/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/ that is either empty or
a symlink to /dev/null ("masked").
Positive trust anchor files are simple text files resembling DNS zone files, as documented in RFC 1035, Section 5. One DS or DNSKEY
resource record may be listed per line. Empty lines and lines starting with a semicolon (";") are ignored and considered comments. A DS
resource record is specified like in the following example:
. IN DS 19036 8 2 49aac11d7b6f6446702e54a1607371607a1a41855200fd2ce1cdde32f24e8fb5
The first word specifies the domain, use "." for the root domain. The domain may be specified with or without trailing dot, which is
considered equivalent. The second word must be "IN" the third word "DS". The following words specify the key tag, signature algorithm,
digest algorithm, followed by the hex-encoded key fingerprint. See RFC 4034, Section 5 for details about the precise syntax and meaning
of these fields.
Alternatively, DNSKEY resource records may be used to define trust anchors, like in the following example:
. IN DNSKEY 257 3 8 AwEAAagAIKlVZrpC6Ia7gEzahOR+9W29euxhJhVVLOyQbSEW0O8gcCjFFVQUTf6v58fLjwBd0YI0EzrAcQqBGCzh/RStIoO8g0NfnfL2MTJRkxoXbfDaUeVPQuYEhg37NZWAJQ9VnMVDxP/VHL496M/QZxkjf5/Efucp2gaDX6RS6CXpoY68LsvPVjR0ZSwzz1apAzvN9dlzEheX7ICJBBtuA6G3LQpzW5hOA2hzCTMjJPJ8LbqF6dsV6DoBQzgul0sGIcGOYl7OyQdXfZ57relSQageu+ipAdTTJ25AsRTAoub8ONGcLmqrAmRLKBP1dfwhYB4N7knNnulqQxA+Uk1ihz0=
The first word specifies the domain again, the second word must be "IN", followed by "DNSKEY". The subsequent words encode the DNSKEY
flags, protocol and algorithm fields, followed by the key data encoded in Base64. See RFC 4034, Section 2 for details about the precise
syntax and meaning of these fields.
If multiple DS or DNSKEY records are defined for the same domain (possibly even in different trust anchor files), all keys are used and are
considered equivalent as base for DNSSEC proofs.
Note that systemd-resolved will automatically use a built-in trust anchor key for the Internet root domain if no positive trust anchors are
defined for the root domain. In most cases it is hence unnecessary to define an explicit key with trust anchor files. The built-in key is
disabled as soon as at least one trust anchor key for the root domain is defined in trust anchor files.
It is generally recommended to encode trust anchors in DS resource records, rather than DNSKEY resource records.
If a trust anchor specified via a DS record is found revoked it is automatically removed from the trust anchor database for the runtime.
See RFC 5011 for details about revoked trust anchors. Note that systemd-resolved will not update its trust anchor database from DNS
servers automatically. Instead, it is recommended to update the resolver software or update the new trust anchor via adding in new trust
The current DNSSEC trust anchor for the Internet's root domain is available at the IANA Trust Anchor and Keys page.
NEGATIVE TRUST ANCHORS
Negative trust anchors define domains where DNSSEC validation shall be turned off. Negative trust anchor files are found at the same
location as positive trust anchor files, and follow the same overriding rules. They are text files with the.negative suffix. Empty lines
and lines whose first character is ";" are ignored. Each line specifies one domain name which is the root of a DNS subtree where validation
shall be disabled.
Negative trust anchors are useful to support private DNS subtrees that are not referenced from the Internet DNS hierarchy, and not signed.
RFC 7646 for details on negative trust anchors.
If no negative trust anchor files are configured a built-in set of well-known private DNS zone domains is used as negative trust anchors.
It is also possibly to define per-interface negative trust anchors using the DNSSECNegativeTrustAnchors= setting in systemd.network(5)
systemd(1), systemd-resolved.service(8), resolved.conf(5), systemd.network(5)

FROGS flee the sound of fire. Juvenile reed frogs (
Ulmar Grafe and his team from the University of Würzburg in Germany rigged up speakers in Ivory Coast's Comoé National Park and played frogs various sounds, including white noise and fire. The crackling sounds of fire produced the strongest reaction: the frogs raised their heads, scanned their surroundings and hopped rapidly towards the most fire-resistant vegetation.
Although most animals react to fire, Grafe believes this is the first research to show that the sound alone is enough to provoke a response (

Lawrence Ernst (2003) "Sample Expansion for Probability Proportional to Size without Replacement Sampling." Proceedings of the Section on Survey Research Methods, 2003, American Statistical Association.
A drawback of probability proportional to size (PPS) without replacement, fixed size sampling, in comparison with equal probability sampling, is the difficulty of expanding the sample with the expanded sample remaining PPS without replacement. In fact, this author is unaware how to perform such a sample expansion for most PPS sampling schemes, such as systematic PPS sampling. However, Tille (1996) has developed a step by step PPS sampling scheme, for which at each step one unit is eliminated until the desired sample size is reached. It is shown in the current paper that sample expansion is very straightforward if Tille's method had been used to select the original sample, provided a record had been kept of the order in which units had been eliminated in selecting the original sample. Even if no such record had been kept, we demonstrate that it is still possible to expand the sample. We also discuss a modification of Tille's method that allows it attain some of the advantages of ordered systematic PPS sampling. Finally, we discuss applications to the National Compensation Survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

A starving artist is a painter, poet, actor, musician, or other artist who lives in poverty. Life may be a financial struggle for the undiscovered artist who often cannot earn enough to make a living from art. A starving artist as the romantic, sometimes tragic figure portrayed in literature and theater is based on the bohemian counterculture that began in nineteenth century Paris. The French starving artists, or bohemians as they were known, were poorly housed and fed, yet were passionate about their artistic life as their raison d'etre, or reason for being.
The use of the term "bohemian" to describe a starving artist was inspired by Bohemian people from the part of the Czech Republic known as Bohemia, but it did not refer to all aspects of the actual Bohemian lifestyle. The French and other nationalities tended to view the actual Bohemians and Gypsies as con-artists and circus folk rather than actual artists. The French used the expression "bohemian" to describe a starving artist related only to the poverty-ridden yet free-spirited outlook of Bohemians and Gypsies.
The first bohemians were Parisian bourgeois; young people beginning to live on their own. They lived the impoverished life of a starving artist, yet most did have homes to return to whenever they chose. Soon, working class people who were actually poor also began living the starving artist life of the bohemian.
Housing for a typical 1850s bohemian was a small, sparsely furnished attic-style room on the top floor of an apartment building as these units were cheaper in Paris than housing on the lower floors. Many stairs, often hundreds, had to be climbed to reach the upper rooms. Sometimes several students shared a suite of rooms and focused on their art while also inspiring others. Food for the starving artist was often limited to small amounts of items such as potatoes, cheese, and herring. When a bohemian did have some money, it was common to treat other bohemians to a fine meal of lobster and wine.
Henry Murger's 1849 play, Scenes de la Vie de Boheme, was the first piece of art to make the general public more knowledgeable of the bohemian starving artist counterculture. Victor Hugo's masterpiece Les Miserables in which bohemian students were included as characters would appear later, in 1862. Murger's work presented three main starving artist types: the undiscovered artists who would often die in poverty as they thought discovery would come to them without their own pursuit of it, the paid bourgeoisie workers who lived the bohemian lifestyle for its romantic appeal, and the working artists without much money, but with a lot of ambition, who could survive well whether they became rich or stayed poor.
Jonathan Larson's 1996 rock musical Rent was inspired by Murger's play and the Puccini opera, La Boheme, based on Murger's play. Larson included modern artistic counterculture in Rent with subject matter about drugs, AIDS, and homosexual relationships. Rent is set in the East Village area of New York and is about the starving artist lives of idealist youth, some of whom are HIV positive, struggling to earn a living from their art. The young artists embody the Bohemian/bohemian philosophy of living each day one at a time and striving to make their short lives purposeful through the expression of their artistic passions.
I think it should be included that living the Bohemian life is the best way to live. Dedication to art should surpass the desire for wealth. It is more important to live a happy life than one in which people cannot be happy due to the circumstances that they find themselves.

The following article is an example of a.NET implementation of Kruskal's algorithm for finding the minimum spanning tree of a connected, undirected graph.
The minimum spanning tree for a graph is the set of edges that connects all nodes and has the lowest cost.
In order to be able to run this solution, you will need.NET 4.0. The example was constructed using Visual Studio 10, and WPF for the graphical representation.
In this article, I will be using a large portion of the code that I used to exemplify Dijkstra's algorithm for finding the minimum distance path between two nodes
in a connected undirected graph. You can find this example here.
Similar to Dijsktra, Kruskal's algorithm is also characterized as "greedy." Even though these algorithms are quite similar, their approaches are quite different since
their goals are simply not the same. In the case of minimum spanning tree, there are some additional structures that we will be using, making the understanding of the algorithm
a little bit more difficult.
In addition, the minimum spanning tree is a more abstract concept and a little more difficult to compare to a practical situation.
In the case of minimum distance algorithm, we thought of the graph as a map of cities where the nodes represent the cities and the edges – the roads that connect them.
We could imagine a similar scenario for a minimum spanning tree. For example, we could imagine that we are an internet provider that is currently building their network
in a given country and that we use optic fiber to connect all the cities in it. Since optic fiber costs us money, we would like to use as little as possible. The minimum spanning
tree algorithm can help us do that.
As already mentioned, Kruskal's minimum spanning tree is similar to Dijkstra's shortest path in the way that both are "greedy" algorithms.
When we were looking for the shortest path, we were trying to select the best possible edge from the node with the smallest total cost incurred.
The reason why this is an efficient strategy is because it reduces the number of nodes that we need to visit in order to get to the target.
In order to find the minimum spanning tree, we need a slightly different approach. To construct the tree in an efficient manner, we need to visit all nodes by visiting
as few edges as possible. Therefore, it makes sense to collect all the edges of the graph and have them ordered so that we consider the least costly ones first.
However, that is not enough since it does not guarantee us that we will select only the edges that we need to construct the minimum spanning tree. Let's consider
the following simple case. We have a graph with three nodes that are interconnected. We start collecting the edges to construct the minimum spanning tree.
We start with the edge between nodes 1 and 2. The next logical one would be the edge between nodes 2 and 3. At this point, there is a direct connection between
nodes 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and there is an indirect connection between 1 and 3 by going through node 2. Therefore, it would be a mistake to add the last edge to the minimum spanning tree.
Therefore, the minimum spanning tree consists only of the edges between nodes 1 and 2 and 2 and 3. We need a way to keep track of the edges that we have already
selected for the minimum spanning tree and the nodes that we have visited. In order to do that, we will use an additional structure that we will call cluster.
A cluster is simply a collection of nodes that we have already visited. As we keep adding edges to the minimum spanning tree, we need to check if each node the edge
connects is already in the cluster or not. If both nodes have been already added, the edge should not be included in the minimum spanning tree, even if it is the shortest edge in the list.
Having defined the role of the cluster, it becomes clear that at the start of the algorithm, we will need to have a cluster for each node.
As we keep adding edges to the minimum spanning tree, we will keep merging the clusters until we are left with what encompasses all the nodes in the graph.
The best way to exemplify the algorithm is to view an example that is a bit more complete than the example before.
Starting with the edge with the minimum cost, we will first add the edge between 2 and 5 to the minimum spanning tree and we will first merge the clusters of nodes 2 and 5.
We will apply the same logic for nodes 1 and 6 and the edge between them. The next edge we should consider is the one between nodes 3 and 4 or between 6 and 4
since they have the same cost of 15. Let's imagine that we take the edge between nodes 3 and 4. We find ourselves in the same situation as before.
The nodes are part of different clusters; therefore, we proceed in the same fashion. The next edge in line is the one between nodes 4 and 6.
The nodes are from different clusters: node 6 is in the same cluster as node 1, and node 4 is in the same cluster as node 3. We add the edge to the minimum
spanning tree and merge the two clusters into a single that will contain nodes 1, 6, 4, and 3. At this point, there are only two clusters left, the one we just
constructed and the one containing nodes 2 and 5. Therefore, the next edge that we select must allow us to merge these two clusters and it will be the last edge
in the minimum spanning tree. The edge with lowest cost is the one between nodes 4 and 5. This yields a minimum spanning tree with a total cost of 63.
Using the Application
In order to use the application, first the user needs to create the nodes and the edges between them. To create a node, the user needs to click on the canvas.
In order to connect two nodes, the user needs to consecutively select two nodes created on the canvas. To find the minimum spanning tree, the user needs to click
on "Find Minimum Span Tree". The "Clear" button allows the user to clear the canvas and build a new graph. "Restart" allows the user to go back to the initial condition
of the graph before finding the minimum distance.

No one likes to think about the repairs they may encounter with their heating system, but it's likely that at some point you will need to call for heating repair in Macon City. If you have a radiant heating system, the repairs you may have to manage will depend at least somewhat on the kind of radiant heating system you have. There are two main types of radiant heating systems – hydronic and electric – and different repairs can develop with each type. As such, it's best to address this question by breaking down the two types of systems first.
Hydronic radiant heating systems heat via hot water or steam. A boiler is needed to generate the hot water, so a boiler is an important part of a hydronic heating system. The types of repair problems that you may see with a hydronic radiant heating system are:
- Issues with the boiler – boilers are durable and have fewer moving parts than a furnace, but age can wear a unit down. If the boiler isn't working the way it's supposed to, your radiant heating won't, either.
- Airlock – just as bubbles can get into the piping and cause an issue with a radiator, they can do the same with the PEX tubing used for your radiant heating. An airlock can cause a blockage in the flow of the steam or water, creating a cold spot where there should be heat.
Electric radiant heating uses a cable that heats when electrified. The cable can be installed directly to the subflooring, be installed as part of an electrically-conductive mat or set in cement. Repair problems that can develop with an electric radiant heating system are:
- Tripping circuit breakers – depending on the size of your radiant flooring space, you may need to upgrade your electric box in order to accommodate the extra electrical load the flooring requires; if you don't, you could end up with tripping circuit breakers that cut off the electricity and your heat.
- Uneven heating – should the electric cables suffer any kind of damage or be defective, you could have sections of your flooring that aren't getting any heat, resulting in uneven heating.
Radiant heating repairs in Macon City should always be handled by a trained expert, so if you are experiencing problems with your radiant heating, contact Premier Indoor Comfort Systems today.

New research showing that people who would have got hip or knee surgery six years ago wouldn't get it now reveals how broken our health system is, says Labour's Health Spokesperson Annette King.
"The New Zealand Medical Journal article reveals people in Otago aren't receiving surgery when they need it and they're becoming more disabled by the time they get treatment, if they get treatment at all.
"This follows up earlier research which showed 36 percent of patients recommended for surgery were sent back to their GP without surgery because of a lack of funding.
"Academics are unravelling the spin on National's elective surgery figures and its time the Minister told the truth and admitted the numbers of orthopaedic surgeries are not actually meeting demand.
"It's not a surprise that people are not getting the help required given that this Government has cut $1.7 billion from the health budget over six years.
"It is actually cost effective to give people orthopaedic surgery when they need it instead of making them wait.
"Under Labour there was ring-fenced funding for hip and knee surgery from 2004 – 2008 which led to an increase in the number of performed surgeries. This was so successful the Minister uses Labour's 2008 figures in National's elective numbers.
"It's time the Government significantly increased the health budget and stopped the rationing of hip and knee surgeries, says Annette King.


Displacement (ship)
The displacement or displacement tonnage of a ship is its weight. As the term indicates, it is measured indirectly, using Archimedes' principle, by first calculating the volume of water displaced by the ship, then converting that value into weight. Traditionally, various measurement rules have been in use, giving various measures in long tons.[1] Today, metric tonnes are more commonly used.
Ship displacement varies by a vessel's degree of load, from its empty weight as designed (known as "lightweight tonnage"[2]) to its maximum load. Numerous specific terms are used to describe varying levels of load and trim, detailed below.
Ship displacement should not be confused with measurements of volume or capacity typically used for commercial vessels and measured by tonnage: net tonnage and gross tonnage.
Shipboard stability computer programs can be used to calculate a vessel's displacement
The process of determining a vessel's displacement begins with measuring its draft[3] This is accomplished by means of its "draft marks" (or "load lines"). A merchant vessel has three matching sets: one mark each on the port and starboard sides forward, midships, and astern.[3] These marks allow a ship's displacement to be determined to an accuracy of 0.5%.[3]
The draft observed at each set of marks is averaged to find a mean draft. The ship's hydrostatic tables show the corresponding volume displaced.[4] To calculate the weight of the displaced water, it is necessary to know its density. Seawater (1025 kg/m3) is more dense than fresh water (1000 kg/m3);[5] so a ship will ride higher in salt water than in fresh. The density of water also varies with temperature.
Devices akin to slide rules have been available since the 1950s to aid in these calculations. Presently, it is done with computers.[6]
Displacement is usually measured in units of tonnes or long tons.[7]
In this 1940 photo, USS Aaron Ward, left, and USS Abel P. Upshur are destroyers of comparable size, but because the latter is more heavily loaded, it sits lower, displacing more water
There are terms for the displacement of a vessel under specified conditions:
Loaded displacementEdit
 - Loaded displacement is the weight of the ship including cargo, passengers, fuel, water, stores, dunnage and such other items necessary for use on a voyage. These bring the ship down to its "load draft",[8] colloquially known as the "waterline".
 - Full load displacement and loaded displacement have almost identical definitions. Full load is defined as the displacement of a vessel when floating at its greatest allowable draft as established by a classification society (and designated by its "waterline").[9] Warships have arbitrary full load condition established.[9]
Light displacementEdit
 - Light displacement (LDT) is defined as the weight of the ship excluding cargo, fuel, water, ballast, stores, passengers, crew, but with water in boilers to steaming level.[8]
Normal displacementEdit
 - Normal displacement is the ship's displacement "with all outfit, and two-thirds supply of stores, ammunition, etc., on board."[10]
Standard displacementEdit
 - Standard displacement, also known as "Washington displacement", is a specific term defined by the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922.[11] It is the displacement of the ship complete, fully manned, engined, and equipped ready for sea, including all armament and ammunition, equipment, outfit, provisions and fresh water for crew, miscellaneous stores, and implements of every description that are intended to be carried in war, but without fuel or reserve boiler feed water on board.[11]

The Aurora Collection returns to the Natural History Museum
A world-class collection of 296 naturally coloured diamonds has been loaned to the Natural History Museum by diamond collectors Alan Bronstein and Harry Rodman. The Aurora Collection comprises 267.45 carats of exceptionally rare stones, from the 12 colour varieties, and reveals an enchanting spectrum from emerald green to blood red.
'Gems like these were not meant to be imprisoned in a dark vault for the momentary pleasure of a few eyes,' said Alan Bronstein, co-owner of the Aurora Collection. 'The true value of a collection is sharing it with as many people who are interested to experience nature's diversity of expression. It's thrilling to think that the collection will be seen by the 3.6 million visitors that come to the Natural History Museum each year.'
Coloured, so called 'fancy', diamonds have become more desirable than ever. Coloured stones were recently worn by actresses Halle Berry and Scarlett Johansson. Fancy diamonds are very rare: only one in every 10,000 gem-quality diamonds is coloured. The colour in diamonds results from tiny amounts of elements other than carbon, or from atomic scale defects, in the diamond structure.
'Each coloured diamond tells its own story, giving us insight not only into its formation but also to the deep earth processes that took place when the gem was formed,' said Alan Hart, Curator of Minerals at the Natural History Museum. 'For example, yellow diamonds are due to the presence of nitrogen in the structure and green diamonds owe their colour to natural radiation damage, It's an amazing opportunity to be able to display this unique collection of exceptionally rare gems at the Museum.'
The Aurora Collection was displayed for the first time in Europe in 2005 as part of the Natural History Museum's Diamonds exhibition. This stunning collection of diamonds is now on display at the end of the Museum's Minerals and Meteorites gallery. The display highlights a little-known property shared by coloured and white diamonds - some of them glow and change colour when exposed to ultra-violet light.
The Natural History Museum has secured £150,000 of funding, from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS)/ Wolfson Museums and Galleries Improvement Fund, to transform the space that contains the Aurora collection into a dazzling gem gallery. Redevelopment plans are currently being made and the gallery is set to be finished in December 2007.

There are 72*6=432 portions of food. Now there are 18 athletes absent, so there are 72-18=54 athletes. 432/54=8 days.

Microsoft moves to quell Windows 10 privacy fears (Daily Nation)
According to the company's privacy statement, some of the information collected include "your typed and handwritten words", emails, conversations users have with the digital assistant, Cortana, location data and selections, such as stocks a user follows in a finance app, or the team a user supports in a sports app. Articles detailing privacy concerns have appeared in The Guardian, Newsweek and the Financial Times.
In the statement supplied Monday, the company says Microsoft does not sell the information customers provide it, but makes it available to employees and third-party engineers to improve Microsoft services.
Users can choose the level of information they send to it and selectively remove the information that Cortana, the digital assistant, tracks, while no biometric data from Windows Hello is shared with third parties, the company said.
It looks like the attention Microsoft is getting for privacy concerns surrounding Windows 10 is mostly to do with default settings. It also appears that Microsoft treats biometric information differently by default, not sharing it even with trusted third-party developers.
Two of the issues, surrounding Wifi Sence and how Windows Update Delivery Optimization (WUDO), are covered very well by The Hacker News which provides simple instructions for how to address them by changing default settings.
Reading through both of the Hacker News pieces, a picture of Windows 10 emerges that shows Microsoft giving serious thought to how make connectivity simpler with Wifi Sense while making the Windows ecosystem more resilient to the security threats already out there and those that easier connectivity implies with WUDO.

Jacob Teller
Jacob Teller was born in 1655. He was a younger son of New Netherland pioneers Willem and his first wife, Margaret Donchesen (Duncan) Teller. His parents were of Scottish origins and came to Beverwyck before Jacob was born.
Jacob grew up in a large family at his father's residences in Albany, Schenectady, and New York.
In October 1683, he married Christina Wessels at the New York Dutch church. By 1694, two children had been christened in New York. At the time of his marriage, he was called a young man from Albany.
In 1692, Jacob Teller was identified in the Albany city records as a trader who owned rum. However, he seems to have lived in New York.
In August 1696, he filed a will stating that he was sick but of perfect memory. It passed probate the following April. In September 1698, his widow filed her will. Jacob Teller was dead in his early forties!

Dynamic Witness improves Windows 2012 Cluster High Availability
Posted by Alin D on February 21, 2013
Determined to make Windows Failover Clusters as resilient as possible, Microsoft has once again made significant improvements to its quorum mechanisms in Windows Server 2012. The Dynamic Quorum Management option allows the cluster to dynamically adjust the quorum (or majority) of votes required for the cluster to continue running. This prevents the loss of quorum when nodes fail or shut down sequentially, allowing the cluster to continue running with less than a majority of active nodes.
In addition to dynamic quorum, multisite geoclusters now benefit from the ability to specify which nodes receive votes and which ones don't. This allows you to bias a particular site (e.g., the primary site) to have the controlling votes, or nodes, to maintain quorum. This also prevents a split-brain scenario from occurring as the secondary site tries to update the cluster database when the primary site is down
Configuring Dynamic Quorum in Windows Server 2012
The principle behind quorum in a failover cluster environment is to ensure that only a majority of nodes can form and participate in a cluster. This prevents a second subset of nodes from forming a separate cluster that can access the same shared resources in an uncoordinated fashion, which can lead to corruption. When nodes are shut down or fail, there are fewer active nodes remaining to maintain the static quorum value of votes needed for the cluster to function. The new Dynamic Quorum Management dynamically adjusts the votes of remaining active nodes to ensure that quorum can be maintained in the event of yet another node failure or shutdown.
There are a few requirements that must be met before the Dynamic Quorum mechanism kicks in. First, Dynamic Quorum must be enabled, which it is, by default, in Windows Server 2012. The Failover Cluster Manager can be used to view or modify the Dynamic Quorum option by running the Configure Cluster Quorum Wizard. Start the wizard by highlighting the cluster in the left-hand pane, right-clicking on it, selecting More Actions and then choosing Configure Cluster Quorum Settings.
The Quorum Wizard prompts you to select from several different quorum configurations depending on your environment (Typical, Add/Change or Advanced). By default, the cluster will use the typical settings for your configuration to establish the quorum management options. You can also add or change the quorum witness if one was selected during the installation process.
To view or change the Dynamic Quorum Management option, use the Advanced quorum configuration option, as seen above. Stepping through the Quorum Wizard, it will prompt you to Configure Quorum Management. This is where you can view or change the Dynamic Quorum option.
You can also view or modify the cluster's Dynamic Quorum setting by using PowerShell cmdlets. The first cmdlet, Get-Cluster, as shown in below, reveals the current Dynamic Quorum setting (0=disabled, 1=enabled). You can then use PowerShell to enable Dynamic Quorum by establishing the variable $cluster with Get-Cluster and then set the property DynamicQuorum to a value of 1.
With Dynamic Quorum enabled, the next condition that must be met is that the cluster must be up and running and currently sustaining quorum based on the initial cluster configuration. The final condition for Dynamic Quorum to work is that any subsequent node failures or shutdowns must be experienced sequentially — not with multiple nodes going down at the same time. A lengthier cluster regroup operation would occur if multiple nodes exited the cluster simultaneously.
You can use PowerShell to view the number of votes and observe the inner workings of the Dynamic Quorum mechanism. By default, each server in the cluster gets a single vote, or NodeWeight. When Dynamic Quorum is enabled, an additional property called DynamicWeight is used to track a server's dynamic vote toward quorum. The cluster will adjust a node's dynamic weight to zero, if necessary, to avoid losing quorum, should another node exit the cluster. The PowerShell cmdlet reveals the NodeWeight and DynamicWeight for a two-node cluster.
Dynamic Quorum allows cluster nodes to be individually shut down or fail to the point where just a single node is left functioning ("last man standing"). Just as quorum is dynamically adjusted downward as nodes fail or are shut down in the cluster, quorum is adjusted upward as nodes are rebooted back into the cluster.
Using weighted votes to assign nodes
The other major enhancement to the quorum mechanism in Windows Server 2012 is the ability to specify which nodes in a cluster receive a vote. As mentioned, all nodes receive a vote that contributes toward quorum by default. In multisite geocluster configurations, it may be beneficial to give nodes in the primary site a vote to ensure they keep running in the event of a network failure between sites. Nodes in the secondary site can be configured with zero votes so they cannot form a cluster.
You can use the Quorum Wizard (Advanced Quorum Configurations) to configure whether a node receives a vote. The wizard also allows you to see how Node1 is given a vote and Node2 is not.
Alternatively, you can use PowerShell to specify whether a node receives a vote. Use the Get-ClusterNode cmdlet to set the NodeWeight for Node2 back to 1 so that it receives a vote.
Windows Server 2012 has made significant improvements to the quorum mechanism, resulting in more resilient Failover Clusters. Dynamic Quorum Management takes the worry out of whether enough servers are active to achieve or maintain quorum if systems should fail or shut down. Multisite geoclusters also use weighted votes to specify which primary site should continue running in the event of intersite network failures.

text: OBJECTIVE: To assess maternal, newborn, and obstetric risk factors associated with anal sphincter tear in multiparous women. METHODS: This case-control study identified 18,779 multiparous vaginal deliveries from 1992 to 2004 from an obstetric automated record database at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Two hundred eighty-four patients were selected, 145 cases and 139 controls. Variables from the index pregnancy and prior pregnancies were analyzed, and multivariable logistic regression models were constructed to determine significant predictor variables for anal sphincter tear in multiparous women. RESULTS: One hundred forty-five multiparous women with no history of cesarean delivery sustained a sphincter tear. Multivariable logistic regression showed a significant association with episiotomy (odds ratio [OR] 16.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 7.7-34.4), shoulder dystocia (OR 7.9, CI 1.6-38), forceps delivery (OR 4.7, CI 2.0-11.2), and being married (OR 2.2, CI 1.1-4.6). A second exploratory model that included variables from previous pregnancies, showed that in addition to episiotomy (OR 34.6, CI 8.8-136), shoulder dystocia (OR 11.1, CI 1.3-95.2), forceps delivery (OR 6.1, CI 1.6-23.5), previous sphincter tear (OR 7.7, CI 1.2-48.7), and second stage of labor greater than 1 hour (OR 6.7, CI 1.1-42.5) were associated with tear. CONCLUSION: The strongest clinical risk factors for anal sphincter tear in multiparous women are episiotomy, shoulder dystocia, previous sphincter tear, prolonged second stage of labor, and forceps delivery. © 2006 by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Pacing is about energy conservation, both physical and emotional. When you're living with a chronic illness, it's an essential skill for preventing flare-ups or "crashes." This "energy bubble analogy" can be useful to help you visualize and understand the limits of your energy, and help you explain them to others.
The Energy Bubble Analogy
Imagine yourself enclosed inside a bubble. This bubble represents your available energetic capacity. If you listen to your body, you will learn the limits of your bubble and stay within them.
Routinely pacing your energy allows the energy bubble to slowly expand over time. This increase in available energy gives rise to more consistency in health. You continue to experience "good" and "bad" days, but you always stay within the limits of your bubble. This includes being cautious on the days you feel you have more energy to do things. These times are when you are most vulnerable.

April 09, 2008
JACKSON, Wyo., April 8, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Building green may be all the rage, but for Tom Ward you might say the challenge is building brown -- and literally, from the ground up. The architect-inventor holds the patent to EarthWall, a seismically-stable rammed earth construction process for sustainable building. The main component of EarthWall? It's clean, natural and available in abundance: plain old dirt.
Watching the six o'clock news one evening in 1999, Ward recognized an opportunity to save lives. During coverage of the aftermath of an earthquake in Turkey, the Wyoming architect noticed that some of the homes -- those built from the region's indigenous rammed earth technique -- sustained less damage than the structures built with more modern methods. Ward wondered how the ages-old technique might be made more stable -- eventually developing an innovative method of stabilizing the earthen walls with reinforced steel rods in a "rational structural post tensioning system" -- that effectively creates earthquake resistance in rammed earth structures.
A principal in Ward + Blake Architects, the Jackson, Wyoming architect pursued the idea and his brainstorm held up in tests performed by the University of Wyoming's Civil Engineering Department as the first seismically stable rammed earth wall. In 2006, he received a patent on the eco-friendly building system that could help people in Third World countries construct earthquake-resistant homes. His innovative new-yet-old building technology -- with the potential for worldwide application -- won Ward + Blake a Newton Foundation research grant.
"Fifty percent of the world's population lives in earthen houses, many of them in seismically active parts of the world," says Ward. "This strong, low-tech method could allow for the rebuilding of structures in areas ravaged by earthquakes -- or even for replacing existing structures to prevent future damage-without resorting to expensive, culturally foreign building systems."
"The aspect that is most exciting to me," Ward adds, "is the potential for the worldwide application of EarthWall. Perhaps if the process is one day adopted in Third World countries, it will save not only homes from collapsing -- but lives as well."

GEPF: Who receives your pension benefits?
Feb 1, 2021
GEPF beneficiary nomination formOne of the questions I receive from most retirement fund members is about who has a claim to their retirement funds if they die in service.
As a member of the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) one of the most important documents you need to keep up to date is your beneficiary nomination form. This will inform the trustees as to who your legal and financial dependants are, as well as their contact details. It will make it easier for the fund to make the relevant payments, ensuring your family receives the urgent financial support they need.
It is important to note that while your nomination form can assist the trustees in identifying and contacting beneficiaries, the trustees are still obliged to identify all legal or financial dependants and ensure that the death benefit is distributed equitably amongst the dependants.
The trustees will do an investigation into the dependence of any surviving legal dependants. Legal dependants include a spouse, parents, children, etc. However, anyone who can prove that they were financially dependent on the deceased has a rightful claim on some of the proceeds. This could include a child from another relationship, a parent, or even another partner who was financially supported by the member.
Once the trustees have identified all the dependants, they distribute the benefits according to the level of dependence. For example, if a member of the fund was married and had one adult child who was employed, then the spouse would receive the full benefit.
However, if the child was still living at home, or studying, and therefore dependent on the deceased, then they could have a claim. This does assume that there were no other dependants. Minor children from other marriages or relationships would also be considered in the dependency assessment.
Benefits are based on how long the member was in service at the time of death. If a member dies with less than ten years' service, the lump sum which will be distributed is based on either the member's final salary (average of last two years per definition) or the value of the member's pension in the fund at that time, whichever is greater.
If a member passes away with more than ten years' service, a lump sum (death-in-service gratuity) is paid to beneficiaries and a monthly pension is paid to the spouse. If the member was a single parent, the minor children receive a child's pension.
What does a beneficiary nomination form do?
A nomination form is completed while you are still alive and can only be changed by the member of the fund. It is used to identify potential legal/financial dependants, or other beneficiaries if you do not have any dependants.
If you are not married and do not have children or any other dependants, your gratuity will still be paid out to anyone you choose – including your parents or siblings.
The nomination form does not, however, supersede the responsibly of the trustees to provide for financial dependants.
If, for example, the nominated beneficiaries are not financially dependent on the deceased and there are other financial dependants not included on the form, the nominated beneficiaries may receive no money. Only in cases where there are no legal or financial dependants do the trustees distribute death benefits in line with the beneficiary nomination.
Make sure that the total percentage provided for each beneficiary adds up to 100%. You cannot, for example, nominate three beneficiaries giving them each 50%.
How does one prove financial dependence?
In the case of a spouse and minor children, financial dependency is assumed ‒ no further proof is needed.
Financial dependence can also be proved by a divorce order or by supplying bank statements proving that the deceased paid for certain expenses.
Tuition fees, bond repayments, medical aid and any other expenses that were paid by the deceased can be used to prove financial dependence.
It is important to understand who does not qualify as a financial dependant as this can become a contested issue, especially if there were relationships outside the marriage.
A financial/legal dependant includes:
 - A spouse. In the case of customary marriage, if there are two valid spouses, both of them will get an equal share of both gratuity and annuity.
 - A child under the age of 18, or a child who is still receiving financial support such as tuition.
 - A parent who is receiving financial support.
A financial dependant does not include:
 - An adult child who is not receiving financial support from the member.
 - A former spouse or partner who has not received any financial support and financial support is not stipulated in the divorce agreement.
If there are no financial dependants and the member has specified the beneficiary on the nomination form, then payment would be made.
Scenario 1: A member has adult children from a previous relationship who are not receiving financial support. The member is married and has young children with the current partner.
Likely outcome: The trustees will only consider the spouse and minor children as beneficiaries for distribution.
Scenario 2: A member has adult children from a previous relationship and is paying their tuition. The member is married and has young children with the current partner.
Likely outcome: The trustees will distribute the retirement fund among the spouse, young children and adult children in relation to level of dependency. As each case is treated individually, it depends on how many adult children there are. Adult children are usually given a percentage not exceeding 20% if still studying. The age of children is taken into consideration when percentages are determined. The gratuity will be shared amongst all dependants and the spouse will also receive a monthly pension.
Scenario 3: The member has adult children from a previous relationship who are not receiving financial support. The member is not legally married but living with a long-term partner.
Likely outcome: The long-term partner needs to apply to be recognised as the life partner of the deceased in order to be recognised. If the life partner's application is approved, he/she will receive a share of the gratuity and the monthly pension. In a case where the life partner is not approved but the partner can prove financial dependency on the deceased, the gratuity will be shared among all qualifying dependants, however the partner will not receive the spousal pension.
Where can members get the nomination form?
The nomination form can be obtained from GPAA regional offices, your HR department, or the GEPF website.
Forms can be submitted at the various regional offices, to your HR department, or can be emailed to
Register your spouse or life partner
As your spouse or life partner is entitled to an annuity when you die, it is important that you register him/her by providing your human resources department with either a certified copy of your marriage certificate, customary union certificate, lobola agreement, civil union certificate, or a certificate confirming your marriage in any other religion.

 1. Good day,
 My dad worked for the city of Cape Town for over 22 years and as such, passed away a few days ago.
 I am 20 years old (turning 21 this year) and was his eldest child from his first (and only) marriage until my mom and him divorced and he also had a partner whom he has 2 children with of which are also younger than 18.
 My question is that my dad's family were never in his life and now that he has passed, they're showing up claiming that I am not due anything even though by word of mouth, it was said that I was nominated to get 50% of whatevers my dad was to be paid out but I am not sure how to go about verifying this?
 Ps. In the same sentence, I was advised that because I hurriedly got married about 6 month ago (customary marriage, not legally) I am not entitled to be paid out anything. Can you advise on this or whom it is I would need to query this info with?
 Any help would be much appreciated.
 - Firstly my condolences on the loss your father. The City of Cape Town fund does not fall under GEPF but the pension fund act rules would apply. This means the trustees of the fund will determine who receives the benefits based on financial and legal dependency. Children under the age of 18 would definitely fall under financial and legal dependency. It would depend on the rules of the fund whether you would qualify (some include children under 21 especially if still studying). The mother of the younger children would possibly have a claim either for the support of the children or if she was a financial dependent in her own right. The best thing to do is to submit your details and provide any evidence if he ever supported you or your mother financially (there may be a provision in the divorce agreement). I do not think whether or not you are married would make a big difference unless it is used to prove that you had no financial dependency on him. I would recommend you just deal directly with the fund and ignore the other relatives – they can can submit their own claims.
 2. I am divorced. I have a minor child [age 17]. I am in a long term relationship currently. I have made my fiancé one of the beneficiaries but was told that he will not be guaranteed his share of my pension because my child has to be looked after first, but yet we are financially dependent of each other and he assist financially to support my child because his biological father does not contribute enough. If I die he will not be able to financially support himself or continue to look after my son, although he is not the biological father. We also were told that the biological father will have all the right to my pension which will go into a trust. So how will my fiancé be able

Dr. Onya McCausland is a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL. This research involves collaborating with the Coal Authority - a non-departmental public body of the UK government - to generate new uses for mine water waste 'ochres' as usable coloured pigment for paint. The research repositions 'waste' ochre as significant cultural material that can be used to change perceptions of the 'post-industrial' landscape sites they belong to.
In 2014, between 4 and 5 thousand tones of ochre were being sent to landfill every year because an economically viable use could not be found and landfill was the cheapest option. By reusing this otherwise redundant material in her work McCausland has demonstrated the uniqueness and cultural value of these colours and their landscape contexts.
The Landscape is read through physical (and digital) interactions with each Place, the coloured earth minerals they form have unique characteristics that are expressed through various physical processes. The work draws on the history of landart, minimalist and post-minimalist aesthetics as well as using analytical techniques to explore colour as material and the proximities between ground and surface, where surface is used to join geographic, geological and painterly realms.
In collaboration with the Coal Authority, McCausland is working to designate five selected Mine Water Treatment Schemes as public spaces that perform the production of ochre, producing high-quality pigment for paint while generating an income for the local economy.

** In Catalan there is a little bit of confusion about this term.
Most people call it "arrova" or "rova" (the two "a" are pronounced
like cupbOArd or mothEr; the "rr" is rolled; and the "v" is pronounced
like a soft English "b") because this symbol corresponds to a unit of
measure. Maybe it is because ot the influence of Spanish. I actually
work in a newspaper and we use the term "arrova". However, I was quite
surprised to know that the linguists of one of the main Catalan radio
stations suggest speakers should say "at".

** In Slovak, the '' sign is called _zavinac_, 'rollmops'. (The
second _a_ has a grave accent. The _c_ has a hacek accent.)
 I first heard this usage some 15 years ago. Since I am not
familiar with any standard pronunciation transcription scheme, I'll
give you an English approximation:
 z as z in zoom
 a as o in mother
 v as v in view
 i as i in hit
 n as n in net
 a+grave as a in past
 c+hacek as ch in check
The initial '_za_' is stressed.
Cyril Belica <>
** In Czech, the sign is colloquially called zavin\'a\v{c} (LaTeX
diacritics), according to my Czech-English dictionary 'collared
herring', 'rollmop'. The spelling is more or less phonetic, with the
accented "a" long, the "c" with caron as "ch" in "chocolate" and the
stress on the first syllable.
 From a second communication: The Czech colloquial term for
'commercial at' (the official term is just a calque of the English
one) is spelled "zavinac", with an acute accent (') on the second "a"
and a hacek (a little "v") on the top of "c".

** In Danish, 'grisehale' 'pig's tail' is occasionally heard, but the
received reading is'snabel-a', i.e. 'trunk a', that is 'an a with an
elephant's trunk attached'. That's a nice one, isn't it? I have also
heard the expression'master space' which seems to go back to some
arcane terminology of some operating system for some vintage IBM
mainframe computer.

** In Danish the -character is called:'snabel-a'; "(elephants)
Soren Harder <>
** In Danish, the is called and spelled: "snabel a". A "snabel"
means the trunk of an elephant, and the "a" is just the letter a. I'm
not sure how to explain the pronunciation, but it is close to English
except for the "a" which is both shorter and flatter and it doesn't
have the diphthong sound /ai/. I have probably known the term for
about 10-12 years. (I am Danish though currently studying in Germany.)
Mette Kreutzmann <>
** As far as I know there are two ways of referring to in Danish;
it's either called _alfa(-tegn)_ which is _alpha(-sign)_ in English,
or _snabel_ which is proboscis/elephant's trunk in English.
 I think they are used in 'two different areas': I say
alfa-tegn to people who (I think) are new to e-mailing, but _snabel_
to everybody else.
Christian Heyde Petersen <>
** In Danish is called "snabel-a", which translates as "trunk-a", an
elephant's trunk i.e., not the trunk of a tree.
Ole Ravnholt <>
** The sign is called _snabel-a_ 'trunk a' in Danish. The
designation refers to the likeness of a elephant's trunk combined with
the letter a. Elephants and mice usually don't get mixed up
cross-linguistically, so this case perhaps calls for a paper
countering some version of universal grammar?

** In Dutch, we call 'at' (as in English), but also 'apestaartje'
'monkey-tail-DIMINUTIVE' (the diminutive is very productive in Dutch,
but it is optional, so 'apestaart' works as well)....
Louise Cornelis <>
** In Dutch it is sometimes referred to as "apestaart", which means
"tail of a monkey". I have no idea how frequently this term is used.
Peter De Bie <>
** In Dutch, the -symbol is usually referred to as "apestaart" (lit.
"monkey's tail": "ap" (with a long /a/; from: "aap") meaning "monkey",
"staart" meaning "tail", and "e" (a shwa) being a linking morpheme.
 I am not sure about the etymology of this word, but I think
the fact that the letter "a" can be recognized in the sign plays a
role in the word's origin: something like "a met staart" ("a with
tail") could have devellopped to "apestaart", which is phonologically
close tot it.
 I do not know of other ways in Dutch tot refer to this symbol:
as far as I know, "apestaart" is by far the most common name for it,
if not the only one. I think I first heard it being used some eight
years ago.
Bart Diels <>
** A nice name for in Dutch is "apestaart" (or the diminutive
"apestaartje"), meaning 'monkey tail'. It is especially nice that the
name starts with an "a", and looks very much like a monkey tail: it
makes it very mnemonic.
 Another is "a-krol" or "a-krul", meaning 'a-(with-a-)curl'.
 ("a" and "aa" are pronounced in both cases like "aa" in the
German "Saar" or "Staat". The "e" is pronounced as a schwa, and the
stress in the first word is on the first syllable. The stress in the
second name is on the second syllable (a rather unusually stressed
word). krul is pronounced /kryl/.)
Frederik Fouvry <>
** The Dutch have an original and funny name for the ""sign: it is
referred to as "apestaartje", which means "a monkey's tail". The
reason is obviously to be found in the form of the symbol, and perhaps
also because "apestaartje" also starts with the letter "A".
 As far as I know, the Dutch term has existed for quite a long
time, possibly since the symbol appeared on the computer keyboard.

Erik Oltmans <>
** In Dutch it is called "apestaart" ("monkey's tail") or (diminutive)
"apestaartje" ("[little[monkey's tail]]". The first form mostly is
used bare, like when telling somebody your email address: "My address
is piest "apestaart"". The second form is used on
other occasions; because it's a diminutive it's more fitting than
"apestaart" there (pointing at the sign and saying it's an "apestaart"
would more or less imply it's bigger than usual).
 Pronuncation: something like "ApstArt", "ApstArtj" (A =
long a, = schwa). N.B. I'm not sure whether this names will be used
in the future or not: the Dutch generally don't seem to mind lending
some words from English, and since more and more people are getting
acquainted with the Internet over here the symbol is more and more
frequently just called "at", like in English including English
pronuncation ). But I'm quite sure no one would have called it
that as far back as 1989: I remember having had a discussion about it
with some friends, and no one

As we have an increasing number of roofing clients, C&C Consulting has pledged its support behind the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) Safe2Torch campaign.
This simple but effective campaign seeks to significantly reduce the risk of roof fires when using gas torches, either to dry out roofs or when used to install torch-on membranes. Put simply, Safe2Torch is a positive message which puts safety first at the design stage.
Roof fires caused by gas torches, no matter how minor, pose a serious threat to life, property, the image of the industry and possibly even the long-term future of torch-on as an accepted method of covering a roof.
By completing a safe to torch survey during the planning stage of this type of roof work, surveyors and contractors can identify high risk areas in the building process where naked flames should be avoided. Listed below are some areas that should be considered high risk and where naked flames should be avoided:
Expansion joints: Expansion joints which are filled with combustible fillers, such as foam or fibreboard, should not come into contact with high heat or naked flame
Adjoining a pitched roof: If a membrane roof is adjoining a pitched roof with details to be completed under abutments to roof tiles and slates, the slates or tiles should be removed and a compatible torch-free product should be selected.
Abutments with open cavities or open perpends: A compatible torch-free product should be selected for any abutments with open cavities or open perpends.
Fixed timber, plastic fascia or soffits: Naked flames should be avoided where there is fixed timber, plastic fascia or soffits
Here are some key points to reduce the risk of starting a fire in roofing work:
- Survey the roof area, highlight on working drawings high risk areas and mark them clearly as No Flame Zones
- Ensure a hot works permit is prepared for the works and controls are effective in managing the risks
- Provide flameless alternative tools for use in the areas designated as No Flame Zones
- Ensure fire extinguishers are provided and deployed at the point of work. Ensure this equipment is fit for purpose, inspected and maintained
- Employ competent supervision on site, that is following the Safe Systems of Work and Safe2Torch guidance at all times
- Have effective emergency arrangements in place that ensure the site workers and potential occupants of the premises can take appropriate emergency action upon hearing an alarm etc.
Many of the items above are pre-requisites for a Safe System of Work relating to hot works on roofs; the Safe2Torch Campaign seeks to reduce the risk potential by identifying and removing naked flames from the areas where flames are more likely to take hold.

ReZeitKon (German acronym for Time Rebound, Time Wealth and Sustainable Consumption) is an interand transdisciplinary research project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
ReZeitKon is a joint project between TU Berlin (Division of Economic Education and Sustainable Consumption), Leuphana University Lüneburg (Institute for Environmental Communication) and the Fraunhofer Institute for System and Innovation Research ISI, Karlsruhe.
The project is accompanied by an advisory board including prominent representatives of relevant civil society institutions who have a longstanding expertise regarding the relationship between time and resource use with regard to work, education and consumption.
The concept of time wealth is explored in a variety of academic disciplines since the 1990s. Also in society, we can observe an increasing awareness towards the importance of time and time use for quality of life.
The way people deal with time has manifold consequences for society and environment. Time wealth and sufficiency are closely interrelated and can reinforce each other, whereas a lack of time might induce negative environmental implications, for example compensatory consumption.
So far, the literature defines time-rebound effects as additional use of natural resources due to free time, which result from the application of efficient technology and practices or the reduction of working hours. In parallel to such additional environmental effects, a more intensive use of time often also increases subjective perceptions of time pressure.
The objective of the ReZeitKon project is to empirically analyse the importance of time-rebound effects for sustainable consumption. In addition, we develop and evaluate measures that increase time wealth and at the same time reduce time-rebound effects.

The Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Board (Air Board) authority was established by the New Mexico State Legislature in 1967 when the Legislature adopted the Air Quality Control Act (State Air Act) authorizing the City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County to adopt ordinances providing for the creation of the Air Board.
The City and the County adopted parallel ordinances, creating the Air Board shortly after the Air Act was adopted. The primary function of the Air Board is to ensure that provisions of the United States Clean Air Act are implemented. According to the State Air Act, the Board shall "adopt, promulgate, publish, amend and repeal regulations consistent with the [State Air Act] to attain and maintain national ambient air quality standards and prevent or abate air pollution, including regulations prescribing air standards, within the geographic area of the local board's jurisdiction or any part thereof."
The Air Board consists of seven voting members who volunteer and are appointed to serve on the Board. Four members are appointed by the Mayor of the City of Albuquerque, with the advice and consent of the City Council, and three members are appointed by the Bernalillo County Commission. There are also two non-voting members who are representatives from the City's Environmental Planning Commission and the County Planning Commission respectively. Members of the Air Board shall be appointed for three-year terms. No member shall serve more than two consecutive terms at a time.
A rulemaking hearing before the Air Board is a hearing to adopt, amend or repeal a board rule, regulation or standard. Procedures for this type of hearing are delineated in. Rulemaking procedures do NOT apply to adjudicatory actions.
An adjudicatory hearing before the Air Board is one in which the Board makes a final, binding determination that directly affects the legal rights of Air Quality permit applicants, permittees or other persons who participated in a permitting action before the Department and who are adversely affected by the permitting action. Procedures for this type of hearing are delineated in. Adjudicatory procedures do NOT apply to rulemaking actions.
All hearing records, including exhibits and hearing transcripts, are available from the City of Albuquerque Environmental Health Department in the Control Strategies Section of the Air Quality Division, which serves as the administrative agency for the Air Board. Please e-mail _EMAIL_ for any information.
The regulations contained herein have been adopted by the Air Board. These regulations apply to private and public sources of air pollution in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. The Air Board's jurisdiction does not include tribal lands (excepting 20.11.3 NMAC). Regulations are adopted by the Air Board after a public hearing is advertised and held in accordance with State law. Adopted regulations are filed with the New Mexico State Records Center, and are codified into the New Mexico Administrative Code (NMAC).
Note that these regulations are updated periodically and new regulations are adopted occasionally. Air quality regulations that apply to New Mexico counties other than Bernalillo County are adopted by the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Board.
The New Mexico Environment Department's Air Quality Bureau in Santa Fe can be contacted for more information about the non-Bernalillo County regulations.
To contact the Air Board please call Margaret Nieto, Secretary to the Air Quality Control Board at _PHONE_ or email _EMAIL_.
Air Board Meetings are usually held on the second Wednesday of each month, at 5:30pm, in the Vincent E. Griego Chambers, Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Government Center, One Civic Plaza.

Tannins, Wine, and Migraine Headaches
What are tannins?
Tannins - plant polyphenols - are an integral part of creating a red wine. The red color and the sharp taste both come from the skins of the grape, which are left on during part of fermentation to seep into the wine itself. That color and taste is the result of tannins. Tannins are not only found in wine - they are found in many foods, such as cheeses and nuts, and even drinks such as tea. Wood aging also adds some tannin to red wines.
Tannins are used by a plant to prevent creatures from eating it. The bitter taste, as well as other effects it causes on the digestion system of the creature, tend to cause the plant to be safe from being eaten.
For humans, tannins are often found to be pleasureable. People who drink tea enjoy its bitter taste, and also the 'buzz' it can give to some. However, as always, various bodies react differently to chemicals. For some people, the tannins found in nature can cause too strong of a 'buzz', leading to mild or severe headaches.
If you think you might be sensitive to tannins, try drinking a strong tea. If you feel your tongue getting "leathery", that is the tannins at work, tanning your tongue. If this gives you a headache or other problem, talk with a doctor.
Cabernet Sauvignon Grapes What are tannins useful for?
Tannins are touted as excellent antioxidants. The tea industry is promoting this aspect of tea, as are all other industries whose foods involve tannin.
Polyphenols in general are found to lower total cholesterol, and also improve the ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol. They lower blood pressure, lessen risks of cancer, stimulate the immune system, and have anti-bacterial properties.
How might tannins cause headaches?
Tannins tend to bind starches while being digested. These starches are needed by the body to produce serotonin. In some people, who are extremely sensitive to their serotonin levels, it appears the lack of serotonin can lead to a migraine. It sort of "starves" the body for this type of raw material, much as not eating for many hours might lead this person to have the same migraine.
Tannin sensitivity is also now thought to be cumulative - a person who begins life with no tannin sensitivities may yet develop one as he or she ages. People who are sensitive to tannins need to moderate their intake of tannins in all forms, and also be sure to eat a reasonable amount of food while ingesting tannins, so the binding affects of tannins do not cause undue stress.
So in general, tannins are very good for you, as long as you aren't allergic to them. Take the time to determine if you are allergic to them. If you get headaches from wine, it could be the tannins - or it could be something else. If you eliminate tannins as being the culprit, look through the other items below to determine what it could be.

Trouble-free and safe operation
Monitoring and controlling hydraulic pressure and temperature in wind turbine equipment and subsystems is a complex process; at start-up, pressure rises and at shutdown it's released, and for lubrication and rotation functions, maintaining a minimum pressure level is crucial. To ensure smooth and safe operation, the temperatures of the hydraulic unit, generator, drive shaft, gearbox, oil braking and cooling systems have to be accurately monitored and controlled. That's where Danfoss comes in.
Pressure and temperature signals are used by controllers to adjust valves, pumps and other equipment to maintain stable operation and, increasingly, to control safety functions. Designed to handle over-pressure and pressure spikes, liquid cavitations, dirt contamination, intense operating cycles, and extreme temperatures, Danfoss pressure transmitters and temperature sensors have been keeping wind turbines rotating, and safe, for decades.
Two industry favorites are the MBS 3000 pressure transmitter and the MBT 5310 temperature sensor. Fitted with a pulse snubber, the MBS 3000 can withstand water hammer, liquid cavitation and pressure peaks. Designed to handle the heavy vibrations in wind turbines, the MBT 5310 features a spring-loaded sensor to ensure close and reliable contact – furthermore it can withstand temperatures up to 200°C.
If you'd like to hear more about how Danfoss can help getting the best from your monitoring and control equipment, please contact your nearest Danfoss dealer.

Question: Does Milk Cause Pus?
What does GREY pus mean?
Does pasteurized milk have pus?
Why is cow milk white?
Milk is naturally a white substance due to the make-up of water and other components including fat and protein that mix together to form tiny particles which reflect light. … When light hits these casein micelles it causes the light to refract and scatter resulting in milk appearing white.
Is there pus in UK milk?
In the UK, a third of all dairy cows have mastitis each year – a bacterial infection of the udders. Like us, cows produce pus when they are fighting infection. … Average UK levels are around 200,000 pus cells per millilitre – that's around one million cells in every teaspoonful of milk!
Does salt draw out infection?
Should you squeeze pus out?
What does the color of pus mean?
How bad is milk for you?
How much of milk is pus?
Does pus mean infection?
How do you clean pus?
Does cheese have pus?
Many cheeses are made with rennet, an enzyme that comes from calves' stomach lining. … Cheese—like all dairy products—contains pus from cows whose udders get bacterial infections when the cows are treated like milk machines by the dairy industry. Cheese is loaded with artery-clogging saturated fat and cholesterol.
Does almond milk have pus?
The government should ensure that milk cartons are labelled with the pus content, but if you don't want to drink pus, you can buy or make soya, almond, rice, oat or any nut milk you like without any pus in it," says Heather Mills McCartney, patron of the Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation.
Is milk a cow's mucus?
Is it cruel to drink cow's milk?
Cow's milk is intended only for baby cows—and it's cruel to take the milk away from the calves for whom it is clearly intended. … Milk, which may contribute to osteoporosis and numerous other health issues, is the last place you should be getting it."
Does milk cause pus in wounds?
Is pus a good sign?
Is there poop in milk?
Is milk really dyed white?
Is milk bleached?
Do they bleach milk to make it white? No. Milk is milk colored all on it's own. … Skim milk might have a tint of blue but unless it's a flavored milk, nothing is being added that changes milk's color.

Thousands gather for Invasion Day rallies across Australia
People in major cities across Australia have gathered outside to attend Invasion Day rallies. The 26 January public holiday marks the date the British fleet sailed into Sydney Harbour in 1788 to start a penal colony, viewing the land as unoccupied despite encountering settlements. For many Indigenous Australians and a growing number of non-Indigenous Australians, the day marks 'Invasion Day'. Chants of 'Black Lives Matter' and 'always was, always will be Aboriginal land' rang out during most rallies across the country.
