Alaska Court RecordsEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
District courts had jurisdiction over all civil and criminal matters in Alaska before statehood. Federal district judges were appointed as early as 1884. The entire territory had only one district, administered by a judge in Sitka, until 1903, when three districts were created with judges at Juneau, Saint Michaels, and Eagle City. The fourth district was added in 1909, and the four seats were placed in Juneau, Nome, Valdez (moved to Anchorage in 1943), and Fairbanks.
The areas served by these districts are as follows:
- Juneau, District 1: Southeastern Alexander Archipelago and the cities of Ketchikan, Wrangell, Sitka, and Juneau.
- Nome, District 2: North, including Nome and Barrow.
- Anchorage, District 3: South, including Anchorage, Kodiak, and the Aleutian Islands.
- Fairbanks, District 4: Central, including Fairbanks, Bethel, and Toksook Bay.
Since 1959 district court jurisdiction has been limited to minor civil and criminal matters such as issuing marriage licenses and arrest warrants, hearing misdemeanor cases, and acting as the temporary custodian of the property of deceased persons.
A superior court, a supreme court, and magistrate courts have also served Alaska since 1959.
The Family History Library does not have copies of any court records from Alaska. The Alaska State Archives has most of the territorial court records (except probate records) for the first district and some for the second and fourth districts. The archives has the court journals but not the complete case files for the first district.
The case files of the first district, the records of the third district (1900-59), and some miscellaneous records of the other districts are at the National Archives—Alaska Region. Copies of documents not at these two archives can be obtained by writing to the appropriate local clerk's office.

GPL 750 Odorizer – Principle of Odorant Injection System Operation
 In Natural Gas Products
GPL Odorizers manufactures cost-effective, planet-friendly odorization solutions using advanced technology to deliver safe, accurate, and reliable odorant injection for natural gas, biogas, and propane. The GPL 750 odorizer operation is unique, and the following highlights its working principle.
Request More Info
GPL 750 Odorizer Operation Overview
GPL 750 Odorizer principle of odorant injection operationThe GPL 750 uses proprietary drip technology, permitting precise odorization in even problematic ranges, such as low-volume (even no-flow) and intermittent-volume applications from 0-24 MMSCFD on pipelines with pressure ranging 40 to 250 PSI. The odorization system is appropriate for small city gate stations, municipalities, and methane (biogas) producers.
The GPL 750 is a solenoid-driven odorant injection system and has a clean, sealed, and ventless design since pipeline gas does not actuate the injector. No gas or odorant ever discharges to the atmosphere from the odorizer; therefore, there is no smell during normal operation and maintenance. This design alone contributes to lowering false leak-call complaints commonly associated with the operation of an odorization system. Additionally, with only one moving part, the GPL 750 odorizer is an uncomplicated system, has long-lasting performance, is easy to maintain, and operate.
Odorization controllerPLC Interfaces with Injector
An industry-leading programmable logic controller (PLC) interfaces with the flow meter and the odorizer's system components, automatically compensating the injection rate to provide uniform odorant distribution.
Drip Technology
The odorizer accurately doses the gas with odorant in individual droplets of 0.01 cm3. An optical sensor counts each droplet and communicates the information to the PLC. The PLC, having the gas flow rate through the flowmeter, instructs the injector to introduce the next odorant dosage when sufficient gas flows. The dose is calculated and optimized based on the flow rate and the configured injection rate. The dosage can vary, from one to multiple drops, to provide optimal and consistent odorization, which maximizes the life of the components. The optical sensor can accurately record, as many as six drops/second; however, the corresponding flow rate for such a high odorant dosage is improbable. If an extra drop of odorant falls during dosing, the optical sensor recognizes it, and the PLC allows additional gas to flow before the next dose.
The target period between doses is three minutes; however, the optimization algorithm creates some variation between dosages to compensate for the effects of flow rate fluctuations.
Gas Mass Flow Meter
Since the gas flow determines the odorant injection rate, by measuring the flow rate precisely, accurate odorization is ensured. GPL Odorizers uses the GPL 100 to determine the gas flow. The GPL 100 thermal mass flow meter has excellent low-flow sensitivity and high rangeability. Both parameters ensure accurate, optimal, and repeatable odorization, even in low-and intermittent-flow systems.
Odorant Pressure and Injection Rate
A springand dome-loaded regulator automatically controls the pressure of the odorant to the injector based on pipeline pressure to ensure consistent dosing.
The PLC calculates the odorant injection rate and determines the total odorant usage. The optical comparator generates a pulse when a configurable mass of odorant flows. Both the measured gas flow rate and mass of injected odorant stores hourly on the PLC SD card and is available for regulatory or company documentation.
Self-Monitoring and Real-Time Alarms
The system is self-monitoring. If the GPL 750 is unable to odorize within the configured settings, an external alarm is sent to specified PCs and smartphones. Alarm conditions are stored and time-stamped in non-volatile memory (SD card).
Mechanical Mode During Power Failure
In the event of a power failure, by opening the solenoid and adjusting the pressure regulator, a temporary mechanical mode can provide an acceptable odorant injection. In this situation, the flow computer goes down because there is no power on-site; however, the manual fix safely odorizes gas for delivery.

Some people who have diabetes may experience increased levels of blood sugar in the morning. It turns out that high blood sugar levels in the morning it can be lowered by eating vegetables.
Vegetables are not only good at night when a person consumed a diet, because eating the right vegetables in the morning can help achieve the blood sugar to normal levels while providing essential nutrients.
Increased blood sugar levels in the morning is often caused by several factors. Experts from Clevelend Clinic describes one person's body store sugar that is consumed at night. By morning, the body will pull it from the storage of sugar so that the blood sugar to rise.
High blood sugar levels or hyperglycemia called marked by increased thirst, the urge to urinate continues, slightly blurred vision and fatigue.
Some vegetables are known to help lower or stabilize blood glucose levels. This is because vegetables contain fiber that can help lower blood sugar, as quoted from MayoClinic.
Foods that are known to contain soluble fiber can help lower blood sugar, such as vegetables, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, fruit bits, certain mushrooms and green vegetables including spinach and kale.
These vegetables can be mixed with breakfast foods, such as mixing the eggs with broccoli, asparagus and a little cheddar cheese, or eating boiled eggs and spinach leaves. In addition it can also be juiced vegetables, such as carrot juice, beet juice or spinach.
Yet the American Diabetes Association recommends to avoid starchy vegetables because they contain high carbohydrates that cause blood sugar to rise. Should avoid peas, corn or squash in the morning. If the consumption of vegetables in a can then read the label because it usually contains added sugar.

Did you have your morning 'kawa'?
12 Arabic words and expressions used in French
7 February 2019
Coffee and breakfast
By Selma Daddi
French has often picked up words from other languages – including plenty from Arabic.
These words come from France's long history of colonisation in North Africa, especially Algeria, and immigration from these countries.
Here we have a look at 12 common Arabic words used every day in France.
One of the most popular is caoua (also written kawa). In Arabic it is written qahwa and it means coffee.
Then, toubib (which means doctor) comes from the word tbib which French soldiers learned from Algerian people during the colonisation.
When speaking about money, you can also say flouse (sometimes written flouze). It comes from fulūs in arabic, which was originally an old currency.
You may already have heard "je fais fissa!" which means I am doing something quickly. This expression was used by North-African soldiers in the 19th century and became a French expression. It comes from the arab fī l-sāa which means on time.
Maboul(e) is also a very common word which comes from mahbul in Arabic and means crazy.
Casbah or kasbah is used to say home today - (Je rentre à la casbah means je rentre à la maison) – but actually refers to the centre of a town. It was also used for old fortresses in the Arab world.
If you speak about the bad behaviour of someone, you could call him a sheitan (also written cheitan). This word originally comes from Ethiopia and refers to Satan and bad spirits but generally means devil in French.
Juste un chouia" you might often hear. Pronounced chouya, the word was taken from the Maghreb where people use it to say 'a little'. It is a synonym of un peu in French.
Walou is another word we took from Arabic which means nothing (rien). This word was notably used by the Berbers and Algerian people.
Kif-kif means the same. For example, if someone asks you if you prefer to go right or left and you reply "c'est kif-kif", it means it does not matter, it is all the same. Some people might also say "c'est kif-kif bourricot"bourricot meaning little donkey. Kif was again used by Algerian people and means like or as (comme).
You can also call a dog clebs which comes from the Arabic word kelb also meaning dog. As we are speaking about slang, a very common negative expression used by young people is meskine (masculine) or meskina (feminine). These expressions are Arabic and are exclamations used to refer to someone in a sad or poor situation who inspires pity to others – an equivalent in French would be le (or la) pauvre!
As well as these more recent borrowings there are many words borrowed into French centuries ago which you might be surprised to know come from Arabic, such as alcool (alcohol), sucre (sugar), sofa, cabas (basket, bag) or douane (customs).

Americans who have wandered chilly London hallways in the middle of the night in search of a toilet will appreciate learning the peculiar British meaning of the word "ensuite."
In French, a set of two rooms or more forming a single accommodation can be advertised as rooms en suite (forming a suite). But the single word French word ensuite means something entirely different: "then, later." Around the middle of the 20th century English landlords and hoteliers began to anglicize the phrase, placing it before the noun, so that traditional "rooms en suite" became "en suite rooms," Ads read "bath ensuite" or "toilet ensuite" as if the phrase meant "in the suite." The phrase "en suite" came to be used solely to designate bathrooms attached to a bedroom.
Following standard English patterns, they hyphenated the phrase as "en-suite bath" and often made the phrase into a single word: "ensuite bath." These have become standard British usage, but hoteliers often go a step further by writing "all rooms ensuite" (Americans would write "all rooms with bath").
It is clearly nonstandard to use "ensuite" as if it were a noun synonymous with "toilet" or "bathroom": "I went to the ensuite to take a shower." You may puke on your suit, but not into "the ensuite."

The flying ship is the main locomotive means of the Spellbinders.
Although it seems to be quite slow the flying ship is a more comfortable way compared to horse travel. Flying ships can take multiple passengers, but at least one of them must be a pilot, wearing a charged and active Power suit. The knowledge to build and maintain flying ships has been lost to time. Currently only seven functioning ones exist in the entire land, and the Spellbinders don't have the technical know-how to repair them.
The ships don't seem to carry a power source of their own, instead relying on power distribution towers and the Center of Power in the Spellbinder castle in order to fly. When any of these are disrupted or destroyed, the ships don't have enough of their own power to land, and simply fall to the ground. Similar, if the operator is incapacitated in flight, or if their power suit is damaged or destroyed, the ship will also lose flight abilities.
The ships seem to have at least basic aerodynamic properties - when they lose power, they don't just drop to the ground (as their bulky size would suggest), but instead sort of glide to the crash.
Functions and Attributes
- The body of the flying ship looks like a sort of a capsule, with a gigantic view window in front and a constantly-open climbing hatch on its belly. It features two long and narrow feet on its sides, as well as two smaller ones at the end of the body. The entire metalwork of the ship is uncoated and all ships seen in the land are covered in rust.
- In order to engage in flight, two things are required: a functioning powersuit and a working Centre of Power in the castle. Once engaged manually, a big power stone located astern in the ship begins to rotate and glow, and this seems to produce the force that enables flight. The ship can maintain altitude and direction, and much like helicopters, it can hover in one place.
- The power suit itself doesn't seem to power the ship. Instead, it seems to provide some form of regulatory control, required for sustained flight. The suit's power stones work in tandem with the ship's power stone in order to sustain flight.
- The ship doesn't seem to be directly powered by its power stone. The stone seems to function more like a buffer, momentarily storing large amounts of power gathered from the Center of Power through electrical Towers. It is possible that the suit is then used to control the flow of this energy.
- Flying ships fall fast - as soon as the Centre of Power is disrupted, the operator loses electrical contact with the ship, or a Summoning Tower is short-circuited, they tend to fall out of the sky (although there seems to be a short delay - a grace period, before this happens). This occurs several times, and altogether five known crashes happen - three ships carrying unknown Spellbinders, one with Ashka and Gryvon, and one with Paul and Riana.
- The ships seem to be generally impervious to all sorts of damage, including electrical damage. Power suit's flash bolts seem to disrupt the energy flow, causing the ships to jerk and lose balance momentarily, but otherwise don't seem to pose a significant threat.
- Due to their construction, the flying ship's hull offers a large deal of protection to the passangers.
- Flying ships can locate eyestones and prison bracelets seemingly without the need for signal triangulation.
- A eyestone and a compass are standard equipment on flying ships, however exactly how these can maintain their function in the strong magnetic fields is unclear.
- Flying ships seem to be equipped with some form of rudimentary gyroscopes or similar technology, which is evidenced by their capability for level flight without much input from the pilot.


used anywhere the dot operator can be used. If pointP is a promise for a point, then pointP! getX() denotes an eventual send, which enqueues a request to call the getX() method in the event loop of point. The syntax fP! (x,y), where fP is a promise designating a function f, enqueues a request to call f(x,y) in the event loop of f. The! operator is actually syntactic sugar for calling a method on the promise object itself: Immediate syntax p.m(x,y) p(x,y) p.m
Eventual syntax p! m(x,y) p! (x,y) p! m
Expansion Q(p).send("m",x,y) Q(p).fcall(x,y) Q(p).get("m")
Remote object references. A local reference to an object is guaranteed to be unique and unforgeable, and only grants access to the public interface of the designated object. When a promise comes to designate a remote object, the promise effectively becomes a remote object reference. A remote reference only carries eventual message sends, not immediate method calls. Whereas local references are unforgeable, for remote references over open networks, we use unguessability to approximate unforgeability. Primitive values such as strings and numbers are pass-by-copy—when passed as arguments or returned as results in remote messages, their contents are serialized and unserialized. JavaScript arrays default to pass-by-copy. All other objects and functions default to pass-by-reference—when passed as an argument or returned result, information needed to access them is serialized, which is unserialized into a remote reference for sending messages back to this object itself. Over the RESTful transport [5], we serialize pass-by-reference objects using unguessable HTTPS URLs (also called web-keys [13]). Such a reference may look like _URL_ where the fragment (everything after the #) is a random character string that uniquely identifies an object on the example.com server. We use unguessable secrets for remote object references because of a key similarity between secrets and object references: If you do
not know an unguessable secret, you can only come to know it if somebody else who knows the secret chooses to share it with you. Q.passByCopy(record) will override the pass-by-reference default, marking record as pass-by-copy. The record will then be shallow-copied to the destination, making a record with the same property names. The values of these properties get serialized according to these same argument passing rules. 2.5 NodeKen: Distributed Orthogonal Persistence Rights, to be useful, must persist over time. Since object-references are our representation of rights, object references and the objects they designate must persist as well. We have already covered the distributed and secure aspects of Dr. SES. Here, we cover resilience against failures. To introduce resilience, Dr. SES builds upon the Ken platform [6]. Ken applications are distributed communicating event loops, which aligns well with JavaScript's de-facto execution model. The event loop of a Ken process invokes application-level code to process incoming messages (one turn, i.e., one event loop iteration, per message). In addition, Ken provides: Distributed Consistent Snapshots. Ken provides a persistent heap for storing application data. All objects stored in this heap are persistent. Ken ensures that the snapshots of two or more communicating processes cannot grow inconsistent, by recording messages in flight as part of a process' snapshot. Reliable Messaging. Under the assumption that all Ken processes eventually recover, all messages transmitted between Ken processes are delivered exactly once, in FIFO order. A permanently crashed Ken process is indistinguishable from a very slow process. To deal with such situations, applications may still want to do their own failure handling using time-outs. A set of Ken processes can tolerate arbitrary failures in such a way that when a process is restarted after a crash, it is always restored to a previously consistent state. To the crashed process itself, it is as if the crash had never happened. To any of the process's communication partners, the process just seemed slow to respond. A crash will never cause messages to be dropped or delivered twice. To achieve orthogonal persistence of JavaScript programs, the Ken platform must be integrated with the JavaScript runtime. NodeKen is our attempt at layering the Node.js runtime on top of Ken.5 NodeKen can then be used as a stand-alone JavaScript environment to run persistent server-side Dr. SES programs. It is not our aim to embed Ken into the browser. This leads to two types of Dr. SES environments: Dr. SES in the browser runs in an ephemeral environment that ceases to exist when the user navigates to a different page, or closes the page. Objects and object references in such environments are not persistent. 5
At the time of writing, NodeKen does not yet exist. We are actively working on integrating Ken with the v8 JavaScript virtual machine, upon which Node.js is based. See _URL_
Distributed Electronic Rights in JavaScript
By contrast, Dr. SES on NodeKen runs in a persistent environment. JavaScript objects born in such an environment are persistent by default, as are object references spanning two persistent Dr. SES environments. Eventual message sends made using the "!" operator over persistent references are reliable. Following the philosophy of Waterken [4], the persistent Java web server where the Ken ideas originated, we expect it to be common for ephemeral and persistent Dr. SES environments to communicate with each other, The ephemeral environment (inside the browser) primarily deals with UI and the persistent environment stores durable application state, a distributed form of the Model-View-Controller pattern. In the remainder of this paper, we assume that all Dr. SES code runs in persistent Dr. SES environments. Implementation. Ken achieves distributed consistent snapshots as follows: • During a turn, accumulate all outgoing messages in an outgoing message queue. These messages are not yet released to the network. • At the end of each turn, make an (incremental) checkpoint of the persistent heap and of all outgoing messages. • After the end-of-turn checkpoint is made, release any new outgoing messages to the network and acknowledge the incoming message processed by this turn. • Number outgoing messages with a sequence number (for duplicate detection and message ordering). • Periodically retry sending unacknowledged outgoing messages (with exponential back-off) until an acknowledgement is received. • Check incoming messages for duplicates. When a duplicate message is detected, it is dropped (not processed) and immediately acknowledged. The key point is that outgoing messages are released, and incoming messages are acknowledged, only after the message has been fully processed by the receiver and the heap state has been checkpointed. The snapshot of a Ken process consists of both the heap and the outgoing message queue. It does not include the runtime stack (which is always empty between turns) nor the incoming message queue. Checkpointing a program's entire state after every event loop turn may be considered costly. Ken takes care to only store those parts of the heap to disk that are updated during a turn. Further, the availability of cheap low-latency non-volatile memory (such as solid-state drives) has driven down the cost of writing state to "disk" to the point that making micro-snapshots after every turn becomes practical. Ken and security. The Ken protocol guarantees distributed snapshots even among mutually suspicious machines. An adversarial process cannot corrupt the distributed snapshots of benign processes. The implementation of Ken underlying NodeKen currently does not use an encrypted communications channel to deliver messages between Ken processes. Hence, the authenticity, integrity or confidentiality of incoming messages cannot be guaranteed. In NodeKen, our plan is to actively secure the communications channels between NodeKen processes using a cryptographic library.6 6
An outline of such a design, due to Brian Warner, is available online: eros-os.org/pipermail/cap-talk/2012-September/015386.html
Now that we've seen the elements of Dr. SES, we can proceed to explain how to use it to build erights and smart contracts.
3 Toward Distributed Electronic Rights The elements of Dr. SES demonstrate how JavaScript can be transformed into a distributed, secure, and resilient system. At its core is the recognition that object references represent a right to perform a set of operations on a specific, designated resource. This emphasis on distributed rights has its counterpart in society: a system of rights is society's answer to creating distributed, secure, and resilient commercial systems. Global commerce rests on tradeable rights. This system is: "the product of thousands of years of evolution. It is highly complex and embraces a multitude of actions, objects, and individuals.... With minor exceptions, rights to take almost all conceivable actions with virtually all physical objects are fixed on identifiable individuals or firms at every instant of time. The books are kept up to date despite the burden imposed by dynamic forces, such as births and deaths, dissolutions, and new technology." [14] Rights help people coordinate plans and resolve conflicts over use of resources. Rights partition the space of actions to avoid interference between separately formulated plans, thus enabling cooperative relationships despite mutual suspicion and competing goals [15]. This rights-based perspective can shed light on the problem of securing distributed computational systems. All computational systems must address the problem of open access. Global mutable state creates a tragedy of the commons: since anyone can access and change it, no one can safely rely on it. Use conflicts arise from both intentional (malicious) and unintentional (buggy) actions. Preventing use conflicts over shared state is one of the main challenges designers face in building computational systems. Historically, two broad strategies for avoiding the tragedy of the commons have emerged: a governance strategy and a


Why is there a need for CCAI?
 - There are over 40,000 registered lobbyists in Washington, DC. Not one of these lobbyists are working without a bias for children in need of families. Unlike big industries with money, orphaned children do not have a voice on the Hill or a presence in DC. This is exactly the reason CCAI exists. We represent children without families by using our relationship with Congress to ensure that the needs of orphans and foster children are heard.
Is CCAI a lobbyist organization?
 - No, CCAI does not lobby on behalf of any individual piece of legislation or government program. CCAI does not take official positions on issues related to adoption and foster care, but rather seeks to provide policymakers with the resources they need to make informed decisions.
How is CCAI unique?
 - CCAI uses five core programs to connect children and families who have personal experience with adoption and foster care with federal policymakers
- Angels in Adoption
- Foster Youth Internship
- Congressional Resource Program
- National Adoption Day
- 20/20 Vision Program
Why does CCAI focus on Congress?
 - Federal policy makers have three tools that when used to benefit children in need of families, make an immeasurable difference: 1) power to legislate to improve adoption laws, 2) power to convene influential persons and political leaders from around the world, and 3) powerful voice that garners media and public attention.
Is CCAI a government entity?
 - No, CCAI is a private not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
How is CCAI funded?
 - To maintain the integrity of the organization, CCAI does not accept any government funding. The work of the CCAI is made possible through the generous support of individuals, corporations, and foundations who share our desire to live in a world where every child has a safe, loving home and a promising future.

Carbon Black: Not Just a Black Powder but an Integral Part of Modern Automotive Culture
Modern tires with carbon black reinforcement drive extra miles as compared to older tires that need to be changed after every 5,000 kms. Carbon black allows new age tires to perform even after running for 50,000 kms. The automotive industry has witnessed a remarkable change with the uptake of carbon black.
Today, carbon black is a vital element in production of many products that are used in our day-to-day life, wherein stronger and deeper black color is desired. This fine black powder composed of elemental carbon is made by burning hydrocarbons such as coal tar, ethylene tar, FCC tar, or charred vegetable matter. Carbon black is manufactured by partial combustion and pyrolysis of low-value oil residues usually derived from coal or crude oils at elevated temperatures under controlled conditions. More than 95% of the carbon black is manufactured through furnace black process.
Carbon black is primarily used as reinforcement agent, but is also used as pigment, conductive or insulating agent, rheology modifier, and UV stabilizer in variety of rubber and non-rubber applications. In many places, carbon black is used as an additive to augment material performance including viscosity, conductivity, and static charge control. It is used in rubber tires, industrial rubber goods, and automotive rubber parts as a reinforcing agent or as coloring agent in inks, paints & coatings, plastics, wire & cables, etc.
Specialty Carbon Black to Offer Lucrative Growth Prospects Compared to Commodities
Carbon black is widely consumed in three grades: rubber carbon black, mechanical rubber goods (MRG), and specialty carbon black. It is estimated that around 13.9 million tons of carbon black was consumed in 2019. In the past few years, there has been burgeoning demand for specialty carbon blacks. Currently, this segment is niche and accounts for around 8% of the total volume; however, these are products with higher realizations and margins command higher prices compared to commodity carbon black such as rubber carbon black and MRG.
Specialty carbon blacks are used as black pigmenting, conductive, and UV stabilizing agents to enhance material performances in paints, printing ink toners, plastics, batteries, wire & cables, sealant systems, and solid carbons. Specialty carbon blacks are used in negative electrode in lead-acid batteries and for both the electrodes in Li-ion batteries, thus improving conductivity, power performance, and life cycle of batteries.
Rubber carbon black is one of the most widely used grade and along with MGR accounted for more than 92% of the total carbon black market. Its cost-effectiveness makes it ideal for tire components such as sidewalls, treads, and inner liners. This type of carbon black is used to improve strength, durability, and processing of high-performance tires and other industrial rubber goods.
The automotive tire market is poised to register at a CAGR of 3.5% between 2021-2025 supported by strong demand from automotive production and adoption of high-performance and premium tires. The demand for carbon black in tire industry is also bolstered by rise in sales of tire replacements. Growth in radialization of tires and consumers demanding tire pressure monitoring systems into the vehicles will drive the tire replacement demand thus offering lucrative opportunities for the global carbon black market.
Tires to Spearhead Demand for Carbon Black
The tire industry is one of the major consumers of carbon black accounting for more than 70% of the global demand in 2019. Increasing disposable incomes in developing economies is anticipated to spur the growth of new vehicles, thus driving the demand for carbon black in the tire industry. Expanding economic activities is anticipated to soar vehicles miles traveled (VMT) per year, thus encouraging tire replacement rates. The demand for carbon black in the tire industry is likely to be driven by revival of significant growth in tire replacement market. Tire replacement accounts for more than 2/3rd of the total tire demand, especially in developed economies. Key factors such as increase in the middle-class population in industrialized countries is resulting in rise of vehicle ownerships, rapid changes in electric vehicles, and adoption to shared transportation, driverless technology are projected to drive the transportation industry, thus soaring the demand of carbon black in tire industry.
Industrial and mechanical rubber goods are also major applications of carbon black. These applications consume MGR as well as specialty carbon blacks. Carbon black is employed in mechanical rubber goods (conveyer belts, hoses, gaskets & seals), automotive rubber parts (anti-vibration parts, sealant systems, wiper blades, fascia), electronic packaging films, and shoe soles. The carbon black market has also observed significant growth in niche applications such as printing inks, paints, plastics, wires & cables plastics, and consumer goods. These applications typically consume specialty carbon black, one of the fastest-growing product types in the carbon black market.
China Continues its Dominance in the Carbon Black Market
Asia Pacific accounted for more than 60% of the demand for carbon black in 2019. The production cost is lowest in the region owing to availability low-priced feedstock and lower labor rates. The region has vast coal resources and hence distilled coal tar is the mostly widely feedstock, thus making the pricing economical compared to other regions. China accounts for more than 40% of the total carbon black production. In the past few years, a lot of investment in tire industry has been observed in India, Thailand, and Indonesia. Revival of the automotive industry, especially growth in passenger and light commercial vehicles, supported by economic recoveries in the region will boost the tire consumption, thus in turn lifting the demand for caron black.
Europe is anticipated to exhibit stable demand for both rubber and MGR carbon black. However, rising demand for conductive additives from paints, plastics, inks, and especially EV batteries will fuel the demand for high-value specialty carbon black. Specialty carbon black is likely to play vital role in EU's 'Smart and Sustainable Mobility Strategy' of getting 30 million EVs by the end of this decade. Specialty carbon black is crucial to support an electronically conductive path in batteries and are critical to the performance of Li-ion batteries.
Companies Focusing on Cleaner, Renewable Sources to Produce Carbon Black
The carbon black market is diversified with multinational companies such as Cabot Corporation, Birla Carbon, Orion Engineered Carbons, Jiangxi Black Cat Carbon, and Tokai Carbon Co., Ltd. battling out with players having strong regional influence. These companies are competing based on price, production performance, and quality of the product. In the past few years, companies have started focusing on technological advancements in the process and integrate cleaner, renewable sources to produce carbon black.
In 2021, Monolith Materials, announced new investments to support its growth plan in carbon black area. The company with its proprietary technology uses renewable energy to convert natural gas into carbon black. The company expect to reduce GHG emissions by as much as 1 million tons annually as compared to traditional production processes.

3.4 Analyzer Internals
The Semantic analyzer is a complex engine which has been broken down across several modules. When the Semantic analyzer fails, start with semantic-analyze-debug-assist, then dive into some of these files.
The core analyzer for defining the current context. The current context is an object that contains references to aspects of the local context including the current prefix, and a tag list defining what the prefix means.
Provides semantic-analyze-possible-completions.
The analyzer debugger. Useful when attempting to get everything configured.
Various support functions needed by the analyzer.
Local context parser. Contains overloadable functions used to move around through different scopes, get local variables, and collect the current prefix used when doing completion.
Calculate scope for a location in a buffer. The scope includes local variables, and tag lists in scope for various reasons, such as C++ using statements.
The typecache is part of semanticdb, but is used primarily by the analyzer to look up datatypes and complex names. The typecache is bound across source files and builds a master lookup table for data type names.
Interactive Analyzer functions. Simple routines that do completion or lookups based on the results from the Analyzer. These routines are meant as examples for application writers, but are quite useful as they are.
Speedbar support for the analyzer, displaying context info, and completion lists.

Keeping fit and active is one of the best defences against Covid-19, both physically and mentally. Claremont Road Runners are happy to encourage socially distanced training sessions for those interested.
We are guided on what is permissible and how to train by England Athletics ( and Rise (
We suggest that when current guidance permits you use email, Facebook etc to arrange to meet with others and run together. So far, during the Covid epidemic, socially distant training sessions have permitted limited numbers to run together (first six individuals, then later just two individuals).
Guidance for running with others during the Covid pandemic
 1. Maintain social distance and remain at least 2 metres from others.
 2. If you are feeling at all unwell then please do not run.
 3. Consider if your health, or someone you live with, places you in a more vulnerable category with respect to Covid. Decide whether it is appropriate for you to take part in group sessions. Government advice is available online.
 4. It is everyone's responsibility to obey social distancing rules. If you feel others are not sticking to the rules, then say something.
 5. There will be no toilet or changing facilities at sessions, so arrive ready to run.
 6. Consider how if you suffer an injury, you will you get home or first aid? You may want to carry cash, a card or first aid kit
 7. If you have not trained for some time, then take it easy to begin with. Injuries are much more common if you have had a period of less stressful training.
 8. If you test positive for Covid-19 after running with others, then please inform the club secretary (, who will let those you have run with know. As we run in a covid-safe environment, contact with others should be minimal, and the risk of infection should be small.
Running Risk Assessment
Hazard Risk Precaution Revised risk
The coronavirus is transmitted by infected persons exhaling droplets containing viral particles. High Assume everyone you meet is infectious. Stay alert and maintain social distancing. Low
The virus can stay alive on various surfaces for several days. High Do not touch anything unnecessarily. Do not touch any your face without removing your gloves or washing your hands first. Low
Exercising near an infected person for an extended period greatly increases the risk of inhaling the virus. High Do not run directly behind another runner. If you have to run in line, allow at least 4 metres from the runner in front. This can be reduced if you run diagonally behind them. Where space allows, run alongside each other rather than in line Low
Although a runner is moving too quickly to have a significant risk of being infected by pedestrians etc that they pass, runners can leave a cloud of infected aerosol vapour behind that could infect others High Maintain a safe distance of at least 2 metres from other road/footpath users. Give warning of approach so that others can take avoiding action if they wish Low

Section 42 - Notation on record
Extract of legislation
|42||Notation on record|
|Where an agency or Minister amends a record by adding a notation to the record, the notation shall—|
|(a)||specify the respects in which the information is incomplete, incorrect, out of date or misleading; and|
|(b)||in a case where the information is claimed to be out of date—set out such information as is required to bring the information up to date.|
If an agency or Minister decides to amend a record by adding a notation to it, the agency or Minister must:
- outline how the information is incomplete, incorrect, out of date, or misleading; and
- where the information is claimed to be out of date, outline sufficient information to bring the information up to date.1
The level of detail will depend on the type of amendment requested by the claimant. However, the notation should:
- clearly identify the information that is being amended by notation; and
- provide sufficient information to make the record complete, correct, up to date, or no longer misleading.
For example, a notation might include adding:
- a hard copy covering note to a file;
- an electronic note to a case management system;
- a warning flag in an electronic system.
In Smeaton v Victorian WorkCover Authority VCAT 1977,2 the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) ordered that the notations to the Applicant's decision file be made by adding a covering note to the file with reference to the VCAT proceeding and by adding a bundle of documents which shows there is disagreement about the file.
VCAT considered adding a notation in this way would not interfere with the integrity of the decision file because:
- the added documents will sit in the same file as the original documents;
- a reader will understand there is disagreement about the documents and will be able to understand both points of view.
VCAT's notation order
VCAT ordered the notations be made by:
- attaching to the inside front cover of a decision file, a bundle of documents on red or pink paper with a covering note which says:
"This bundle of documents has been placed on claim file No 09 992 50790 by order of VCAT dated 24 September 2009 in proceeding No G 71/2009 brought by [the Applicants] and should be read prior to further review of this file."
The bundle of documents were:
- a notice under section 39;
- a letter from the insurer to the Applicants advising that their claim is rejected;
- a sworn statement by a psychiatrist involved in the matter, for use in the VCAT proceedings; and
attach a letter from the insurer to the Applicants, which was annotated by the Applicants to correct what they say are inaccuracies in the letter.
See the FOI Guidelines on:
- Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Vic), section 42.

Sound Ethics: Book: The Good Doctors
Until the late 1960s, African American doctors were not permitted to belong to county medical associations.
And since it was those local associations that granted hospital privileges, African American physicians often were not permitted to admit patients to white-run hospitals in the south.
It wasnít until 1968 that the American Medical Association was pressured to change this policy, in part by the Medical Committee for Human Rights (MCHR).
Historian John Dittmer is the author of a book on that chapter of American history, called "The Good Doctors."
Today Dittmer tells Sound Medicineís Dr. Eric Meslin that the MCHR was made up of volunteer doctors from the north who had their own version of a civil rights freedom ride.

Haskell uses static nested scopes. What is a bit confusing compared with other languages that have static nested scopes is that the scope of a name is a block which includes tests preceding its definition. For example
evens = 0 : map (+1) odds
odds = map : (+1) evens
here the name 'odds' is in scope in the definition of 'evens', despite the surprising fact that 'odds' has not yet been defined. (The example defines two infinite lists of even and odd numbers.)
A dead language with a similar scoping rule was Modula-3. But Haskell is a bit trickier in that you can attempt to'redefine' a variable within the same scope but instead you just introduce another recursion equation. This is a pitfall for people who learned ML or Scheme first:
let x = 2 * n
x = x + 1 -- watch out!
This is perfectly good ML or Scheme let*, but Haskel has scheme letrec semantics, without the restriction to lambda values. No wonder this is tricky stuff!

NCEES Testing Nomenclature
Structural Engineering (PE Structural) Exam
SE – Abbreviation for a licensed Structural Engineer
Tests the ability to practice structural engineering and is designed for engineers who practice in jurisdictions that may license structural engineers separately from other professional engineers. It is a 16-hour exam that uses a separate vertical and lateral component to test your ability to safely design buildings or bridges, especially in areas of high seismicity and high wind.
Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) Exam
PE – Abbreviation for a licensed Professional Engineer
Tests the ability to practice in a particular engineering discipline competently. It is designed for engineers who have gained at minimum four years' post-college work experience in their chosen engineering discipline. Each PE exam lasts 8 hours and is split into a morning and an afternoon session.
The NCSEA Structural Licensure Committee works with SEAs to influence the adoption of consistent licensing laws and rules in the interest of public safety, especially relating to licensure of structural engineers. This committee is focused on:
- Recognizing the unique responsibility structural engineers have to protect the safety, health, and welfare of the public over that borne by all disciplines of engineering.
- Promoting structural licensure by educating and supporting SEAs pursuing licensure.
- Ensuring state licensing laws and regulations are divided and labeled by the procedures the state board uses to recognize and license individuals as professional engineers or structural engineers.
- The goal to recognize the additional SE credential based on the NCEES 16 hour structural exam and support transitioning currently practicing structural engineers to a higher standard of practice.
A provision in a jurisdiction's statutes, rules, or licensing board procedures that recognizes every licensee's discipline, usually based on the specific NCEES examination passed by the licensee. Currently, there are 23 states that practice "Roster Designation"; these states publicly recognize engineers by disciplines either through self-declaration or through testing. In general, these states keep a public database of all the licensed engineers and their associated disciplines and do not regulate the practice of engineering, a licensed PE or SE can seal all structures.
Title Restriction, Partial Practice Restriction, Full Practice Restriction
A provision in a jurisdiction's statutes or rules that specifically recognizes structural engineering as a distinct discipline with certain special qualifications beyond, or in place of, those required for professional engineering licensure, typically based on NCEES testing nomenclature.
Title Restriction states: 6 states

Perspectives on Logistics Leadership
Five critical dimensions for leadership in logistics can be identified to transform the 20 percent of the logistics change initiative directly within the control of a companys logistics organization. As a catalyst for widespread change, however, logistics leadership must include many other areas of business.
Few logistics executives have been trained in leadership and change management and most have limited experience with successful change. Since there are few university programs in leadership or change management, most managers extend their limited academic background with on-the-job experience to guide them. To effectively lead and provide the direction for change, it is important that executives understand the dimensions of logistics leadership and the dynamics of supply chain change.
The most fundamental point to keep in mind about logistics and supply chain leadership and change is that a business process that provides some level of performance is almost always in place. Rarely does logistics change management commence from ground zero. Management must begin with the existing process, keep it working at a level to maintain adequate performance during the change process, and redesign and implement enhanced supply chain processes. Logistics and supply chain change improves a process or practice that isnt broken and, in the minds of some, doesnt need to be fixed.
Logistics leadership and change management requires the ability to identify the vectors of logistics change and then the ability to propose and operationalize initiatives to profit from being the first to respond. Based on the Supply Chain Process Model introduced in 21st Century Logistics: Making Supply Chain Integration a Reality, Exhibit 1 illustrates the major capabilities critical for logistics leaders. The ball illustrated in motion by the dotted lines represents the rapidly changing supply chain environment. Like supply chain requirements, the motion is constant and it is continuously being redirected under the influence of customer and competitive actions. The Supply Chain Change Process Model suggests five critical dimensions for logistics leadership. The dimensions include:
The first dimension is the ability to understand both customer and end-customer supply chain requirements. This includes understanding service requirements and performance levels that will be necessary to satisfy intermediate and end-customers today and especially in the future. For example, logistics leaders must be able to identify the changing delivery and service requirements of channel segments or even of individual customers. The true leader must not only understand current requirements, but must also anticipate future supply chain requirements of customers and the end-customer. An understanding of current and future requirements allows the logistics leader to define the ultimate goal. Not only is this dimension critical for leading the executives own firm, it is equally as import to be able to lead and educate the firms critical customers to ensure their long-term success.
To enhance the current situation, the vision must be shared and adopted by a wide range of individuals and groups who must be involved to achieve meaningful change.
The second dimension of a logistics leader is the ability to identify and understand competitive capabilities. A logistics leader must anticipate and understand the current and likely strengths and weaknesses of key competitors. Such understanding is critical to allow a firm and its supply chain partners to match competitive threats and target weaknesses. However, information and understanding regarding the supply chain environment are often difficult to obtain. The leader must determine the framework to characterize both competitive and non-competitive firms and then develop the means to assess and benchmark other organizations. While it is not easy to identify the current capabilities of competitors, true logistics leaders must insight regarding future competitive capabilities
Supply Chain Competencie
The third dimension of a logistics leader is the ability to understand and critically evaluate the competencies of their own supply chain. The Supply Chain 2000 Framework and diagnostic methodology introduced at Michigan State University (MSU) determined that high performing supply chains exhibit high degrees of customer integration, internal integration, material/service supplier integration, technology and planning integration, measurement integration and relationship integration (For a more detailed discussion, see 21st Century Logistics: Making Supply Chain Integration a Reality from the Council of Logistics Management). For each of these integration competencies, a logistics leader must be able to assess the firms capabilities as well as the complementary capabilities of other supply chain partners. While the MSU research has demonstrated that high performing supply chains must have a high level of ability in all of the integration competencies, it is possible for firms to achieve high performance by using the competencies of supply chain partners.
Visioning is a process of creativity and innovation. The fourth dimension of logistics leaders is the ability to develop a big picture perspective that conceptualizes the dynamics and influence of complex interrelationships. Leaders see an integrative pattern of connectiveness where others may see only specific events and problems requiring resolution. The connectiveness relates the trends in terms of customer requirements, firm capabilities, competitive capabilities and the responses in the form of firm competitiveness. Leaders are able to create a vision of future market requirements and then identify refinements in operations, processes, or application of external resources to achieve such visions. Such leaders are also able to articulate the reality of the present, thus identifying the comparative gap between vision and reality needed to motivate change.
The role of visioning is to conceptualize the supply chain situation and identify desirable and achievable system modifications consistent with overall enterprise objectives. To enhance the current situation, the vision must be shared and adopted by a wide range of individuals and groups who must be involved if to achieve meaningful change. Thus, visions with a high degree of perceived legitimacy and offering substantial opportunity are more likely to be accepted over those proposing radical change. For some types of supply chain change, reasonable modification of current practices and relationships is sufficient. The truly difficult leadership challenges are those proposing that well-established practices or relationships be discarded or radically modified. As noted earlier, resistance to new practices and relationships that challenge a sense of individual and business security can force a serious, if not terminal, resistance to the change management process.
The difference between the logistics leaders current assessment and the vision of desired achievement defines the opportunity gap that determines the performance and financial benefits attainable from improved integration. To be meaningful, these performance and financial measures must be quantified to initiate and drive change. In this respect, leadership is essential to help simplify operating complexity by identifying and focusing on relationships and practices that, if modified, have the potential to enhance performance. Change management leadership is the art of creatively identifying, articulating and guiding a shared vision of the opportunity gap and the means to improve. While leaders astute in change management may identify an opportunity and scope its potential, the existence and magnitude of a gap is typically not so obvious to managers who are deeply involved in day-to-day operations. The balance between vision, current reality, and resource opportunities creates the essence of a logistics leaders action plan.
Successful logistics change leaders must be able to communicate the benefits and risks associated with the vision in a credible manner if widespread support for any initiative is to be generated. Leaders who successfully enable change are masters at creating legitimacy for visions in terms of detailing future directions and conceptualizing the capabilities and resources necessary to get there. Most important, such visions must be aligned with overall enterprise and supply chain goals.
Just as a firms supply chain competency is dynamic, so are the associated visions. Since visions are about the future, they frequently change. In fact, visions must undergo constant refinement if they are to remain relevant. Once a vision is widely shared, it immediately impacts current decision-making. In essence, the shared vision becomes part of the present as well as the desired future and the logistics leader can effectively establish that vision as the goal.
In a matter of time, organizational leaders will conclude that sufficient potential exists to justify undertaking change. The fifth dimension of logistics leadership is the ability to develop this conclusion and then develop a plan to operationalize it. The sales and development process is particularly challenging in a transition environment. The environmental dynamics of logistics and supply chain management mean that the guidelines and principles must be constantly transitioned and refined. The principles that were learned or applied yesterday must be refined to work in the current environment. Effective action planning requires the logistics leader to adapt and extend the traditional principles to the current and anticipated environment.
This requires that the logistics leader be able to systematically: 1) identify the change initiatives; 2) characterize the benefits; 3) determine the obstacles to overcome; 4) highlight the organizational implications; 5) determine the resource requirements; and 6) establish accountability and action measurements. While it is not be necessary for the logistics leader to embody the detailed skills for change management, an effective leader must maintain the big-picture perspective and drive the change management initiatives.
Typically, supply chain change also requires the alignment of operations outside the direct control of a specific executive and, in terms of the supply chain, even the firm itself. One executive stressed the fundamental importance of leadership by estimating that only 20 percent of the scope of a typical logistical change initiative is within the direct control of a firms logistics organization. The remaining 80 percent typically involve the responsibilities of managers from other business areas. Thus, logistical leaders must sell ideas and serve as cross-functional catalysts. Managing change through others is a difficult task that logistics leaders need to master.
The abilities represented through these dimensions represent a significant challenge and a substantial opportunity for managers to differentiate themselves. Combining logistics and supply chain knowledge with effective change management skills provides an individual an opportunity to establish his or her importance in supply chain and supply chains importance for the organization. The increasing role that logistics and supply chain management continue to take in corporate competitiveness shows that there will always be a need for logistics leaders.

Meet Eileen Gray, the architect behind the monumental E-1027 and pioneer of the Modern Movement in architecture.
In 1924, work began in earnest on a small villa by the sea in the south of France. Nearly a century later, this structure has become a monument for modern design. However, like so many gifted female artists, Eileen Gray's story has been eclipsed by the men with whom she collaborated – this story puts the focus back on Gray and her mastery of design. Dzierżawska's exquisite visuals bring to life the tale of a young Irish designer whose dedication and desire to create came to flourish during the 'Années Folles' of early 20th century Paris.


This one simple tip could potentially save your house $$$
Flexible braided pipes are responsible for more than 20% of home water damage claims in just Australia alone.
The flexi hose is a plumbing connection from the water main to major appliances and sinks to replace copper pipes. These hoses are also used on toilets to replace the copper pipe connecting water from the stop tap to the cistern.
Flexi pipes are very versatile and are often used to save time and money, however long term it could potentially cause a lot of issues, leading to major damage to your home, such as leaks, ruptures and flooding.
Due to these flexi pipes only having a shelf life of 5-10 years, regular maintenance should be carried out. A homeowner can easily check for themselves by visually inspecting for freys, corrosion and general wear and tear.
If anything looks suspicious, it's important to call a suitably qualified plumber for correct maintenance and replacement.
As a general rule flexible pipes should be replaced every 5-10 years depending on the brand. They should be watermarked and compliant with relevant standards: AS/NZS 3499


text: Two members of UUCSS discuss their personal experience with grief following deaths connected with military service. Evelyn discusses the loss of her father to the war in Vietnam. She recounts the impact of this grief on a nine year old girl who loved her father dearly and the implications of this loss into her adult life, and she shares how Unitarian Universalism impacted her thinking on this loss. How might communities acknowledge pain and respond to loss more effectively and compassionately now than they did then? Jeff, an 18-year veteran of the U.S. Navy, recounts the situation and circumstances surrounding the loss of two Navy colleagues; one to a training accident and the other to suicide. What perspectives does Unitarian Universalism have to offer regarding these and other military deaths? Are these "tragic, unnecessary losses," "noble, honorable sacrifices," both or neither? They consider both big-picture philosophy and personal stories in this honest examination of the meaning of Memorial Day.

RSV State Trends
Participating laboratories report weekly to CDC the total number or RSV tests performed that week, and the number of those tests that were positive. Because reporting delays may be expected for some laboratories, data shown for the more recent weeks may be less complete than others. Each point on the trend graphs below displays the average number of RSV tests that were performed, and the average percent of those that were positive from three adjacent weeks: the specified week, and the weeks preceding and following it. This is also known as a centered 3-week moving average.
State-level trends are only displayed when two or more labs report RSV antigen testing data for at least 36 of the prior 52 weeks. If data for a state are too sparse to display during a particular week, we recommend viewing the trends at the HHS Region or Census Division level that contains the state of interest.
In the United States, RSV infections typically occur at the time of annual community outbreaks, during late fall, winter, and early spring. There may be variation in the timing of outbreaks between regions and between communities in the same region.

- Yet, it was one of Goddard's 'firsts' in the now booming significance of rocket propulsion in the fields of military missilery and the scientific exploration of space.
- Suggestions that modern developments in missilery make it unnecessary for us to have bases overseas might be quoted from surviving massive retaliationists, but also from The Liberal Papers.
- The branch can concentrate more objectively on a balanced career for its officers, knowing that its prime responsibilities lie in one path, that of missilery and radar electronics.
- The album focuses on the role of top-rank designers in creating missilery and the Baikonur's infrastructure components.
- Israel did not realize, the full scale of the accommodated missilery and should have known and been prepared to deal with it.

Large-scale genomics unveil polygenic architecture of human cortical surface area
MetadataShow full item record
Little is known about how genetic variation contributes to neuroanatomical variability, and whether particular genomic regions comprising genes or evolutionarily conserved elements are enriched for effects that influence brain morphology. Here, we examine brain imaging and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) data from ~2,700 individuals. We show that a substantial proportion of variation in cortical surface area is explained by additive effects of SNPs dispersed throughout the genome, with a larger heritable effect for visual and auditory sensory and insular cortices (h2~0.45). Genome-wide SNPs collectively account for, on average, about half of twin heritability across cortical regions (N=466 twins). We find enriched genetic effects in or near genes. We also observe that SNPs in evolutionarily more conserved regions contributed significantly to the heritability of cortical surface area, particularly, for medial and temporal cortical regions. SNPs in less conserved regions contributed more to occipital and dorsolateral prefrontal cortices.

Weigh-in-motion (WIM) accuracy in measuring static axle loads is affected by vehicle dynamics and noise. Neural networks can identify underlying relationships, such as the spatial repeatability in axle dynamics, and can efficiently remove noise. Furthermore, they can adapt to changing circumstances (e.g., traffic characteristics, road profile, or sensor failure), unlike conventional WIM calibration algorithms. The performance of a multilayer feed-forward artificial neural network algorithm applied to a multiple-sensor WIM is analyzed. Numerical simulations of the axle forces applied on a smooth road profile are used to train, validate, and test the artificial neural network algorithm. This dynamic axle load variation is predicted with the vehicle simulation model VESYM. The mechanical parameters of the truck models and their speeds are randomly varied over a range established from real traffic measurements. Once the theoretical WIM data are obtained at the sensor locations, the measurements are artificially corrupted with noise up to the typical level of WIM accuracy. Details are given on the process of the neural network design, the size of the training sample, and the length of the training period. The artificial neural networks approach resulted in higher accuracy than the traditional average-based calibration method, especially at high noise levels. As a result, it shows promise for estimating static axle loads from multiple WIM measurements.

The Water Oak grows in acidic, drought tolerant, loamy, sandy, well drained, wet, wide range, clay soils.
The Water Oak is a North American native with significant soil tolerance. It does not compete well and does not tolerate even light shade. Water oak is frequently used to restore bottomland hardwood forests in
the Southeast on land that was previously cleared for agriculture or
A North American native, Water Oak is adapted to wet, swampy areas, such as along ponds and stream banks, but can also tolerate other well-drained sites and even heavy, compacted soils.
Water oak acorns are at the top of the food preference list for whitetail deer, squirrels, raccoons, pigs, wild turkeys, mallards, wood ducks, and quail. In wintertime, deer will browse the buds and young twigs.
The Water Oak has been used as a source of timber and fuel by people in the southern states since the 1600's. Many homes were built and heated by giant trees that sprouted hundreds of years before Columbus.
The Water Oak tolerates wet sites, but does best in well-drained areas that do not experience severe drought.
The Water Oak's leaves are green in summer, and they change to very attractive fall colors.
The blooms of the Water Oak are almost imperceptible.
The Water Oak blooms in the spring..
The Water Oak produces one-inch round acorns.

How motivations and satisfaction influence wine tourists' loyalty? An analysis of the Italian case
MetadataShow full item record
The purpose of this paper is to assess the "motivation-satisfaction-loyalty" framework. Through a structural equation model (SEM), it is possible to disentangle attitudinal and behavioral loyalty as a multifaceted latent variable. Design/methodology/approach: The empirical analysis is based on data collected in wineries located in two important wine destinations: Trentino and South Tyrol (Italy). Notably, the motivation–satisfaction relationship is confirmed, and the SEM has also assessed the importance of winery services in affecting loyalty, expressed in terms of "visit other cellars," "repeat a wine vacation" and "recommend wine routes." Findings: Destination managers should consider the wine-related "relaxation" as the main push motivation, while the interactions experience are important pull motivations to drive wine tourists' satisfaction. Nevertheless, the findings reveal that more proactive policies are needed to enhance local wines loyalty. Originality/value: The novelty of this study is to explore loyalty. In this respect, a multifaceted latent variable is expressed as follows: "buy local wines," "visit other cellars," "repeat a wine vacation" as behavioral attitudinal stated loyalty and "recommend wine routes" as attitudinal stated loyalty.

ALFRED HOLT AND COMPANY –
THE BLUE FUNNEL LINE
A study of the history
of Alfred Holt and Company suggests that apprentices were not carried
on Blue Funnel ships until the early part of the twentieth century
when a shortage of trained deck officers prompted Lawrence Holt
to propose that the Company should establish its own training facility.
As a result, a Midshipmen's Department was established in
1916. The Company also established a hostel in Liverpool in 1922
where midshipmen were expected to stay during periods ashore. In
1963, the Company opened a new training and residential establishment
for both midshipmen and engineer cadets. The new building, which
actually adjoined the original hostel, comprised a purpose built
chartroom, seamanship room, lecture theatre, library, general classroom
and dormitory accommodation – the whole complex being named
Aulis. Following the merger in 1965, Elder Dempster's adjacent
cadet training establishment – River House – was incorporated
with Aulis into Ocean Fleets Training Establishment, which, with
the addition in 1975 of a new wing of accommodation in single rooms,
brought the total residential accommodation to 280 berths. As a
result of the dramatic decline in the Blue Funnel fleet, all the
buildings that comprised Ocean Fleets Training Establishment, with
the exception of the original hostel, were leased to Liverpool City
Council in 1981. The Company's much depleted training facility
then moved back into the hostel next door, where it remained until
it was disbanded on the 31st December 1986.
Whilst, from 1916, an increasing number of the Company's ships
carried several midshipmen, it was not until 1947 that the training
scheme was enlarged to include a designated training ship in which
the normal deck crew were replaced almost entirely by midshipmen.
The first of the Company's 2 designated training ships was
the Calchas, and she was replaced in 1956 by the Diomed. However,
the number of midshipmen under training was such that no more than
half of them would ever spend time under indenture on the Calchas
or Diomed. Irrespective of whether or not a midshipman served on
the Calchas or Diomed, it was Company policy to ensure that his
training encompassed as wide a variety of the Company's ships
and trading routes as possible so as to maximise the breadth and
depth of his experience.
A typical training scenario for a midshipman would start with the
new recruit being sent on a short period of outward-bound training.
This would normally be followed by several voyages, each on a different
Blue Funnel ship and usually in the company of 3 other midshipmen.
Then, during his second or third years of training, he would, if
a berth was available, complete 2 consecutive voyages on the training
ship. The remainder of his sea-based training would then be spent
on a variety of other Blue Funnel and Glen Line ships, again in
the company of several other midshipmen and probably as the senior
midshipman responsible for the halfdeck.
This site will focus on the 2 ships designated by Alfred Holt and
Company to operate as training ships: the Calchas
and the Diomed.

society, ones behaviour should conform to its special morals and ethics. The behaviour of someone is reflected in the way he or she talks, eats, plays and lives with others.
Types of Behaviour
There are two main types of behaviour, proper and improper behaviour, as explained below:
This is the kind of behaviour that is acceptable to all members of afamily, community and society. Examples of proper behaviour are cooperation, solidarity, love, generosity, charity, helpfulness, kindness and being responsible. Therefore, proper behaviour is taught according to the norms of a given society.
Elements of Proper Behaviour
There are a number of elements indicating proper behaviour, which include:
1. Love, peace and security among people
2. Respect for the law and rules guiding the society
3. Cooperation
4. Polite language when speaking to other people
5. Being responsible
6. Participation in community activities
7. Payment of taxes and duties
8. Respect for oneself, others, property and authority
9. Knowing and doing what is morally right
10. Obedience and effective communication
11. Honesty, i.e. always telling the truth and never cheating
12. Adhering to instructions
Proper Behaviour
The Importance of Proper Behaviour
1. Proper behaviour helps to reduce crime and evil in asociety.
2. It also brings a culture of unity and cooperation in order to solve various problems, hence bringing about family stability.
3. Furthermore, a peaceful environment stimulates economic development in the society.
4. Proper behaviour also helps to develop a sense of love, respect and solidarity among community members and the society at large.
5. Lastly, it contributes to the stability of government and the state in general.
This is the kind of behaviour that is not morally acceptable to afamily, community and society at large.
Elements of Improper Behaviour
There are a number of elements indicating improper behaviour, these include:
1. Unlawful acts such as killing and stealing
2. The use of abusive language
3. Love of violence
4. Aggression, feelings of anger and hatred that may result into threatening or violent behaviour and boasting
5. Segregation
6 Arrogance, incivility and rudeness.
7. Excessive drinking of alcohol
8. Irresponsibility
9. Immorality
10. Corruption, dishonesty and disobedience
11. Indiscipline
Improper Behaviour
Causes of Improper Behaviour
Improper behaviour is caused by:
1. Moral deterioration
2. Drug abuse
3. Lack of discipline
4. Poverty.
5. It can also be caused by wealth superiority (wealth abuse)
6. Excessive alcohol drinking and bad peer groups, especially among the adolescents.
Consequences of Improper Behaviour
1. Improper behaviour can result in misunderstandings in a family, community or institution.
2. Also, the number of commercial sex workers and other crimes can increase in asociety due to improper behaviour.
3. Moreover, loneliness due to discrimination, increased number of dropouts/dismissals/expulsions and poor performance of students in their studies may be witnessed because of improper behaviour.
4. Finally, improper behaviour can lead to inability to overcome various problems and causing family unrest.
5. Early marriages and adolescent pregnancies
6. Spread of HIVIAIDS
7. Divorce and frustrations
8. Deterioration of health or death due to over drinking, and drug abuse can also be a consequence of improper behaviour.
Measures to Correct Improper Behaviour
Several measures can be taken to correct and reduce improper behaviour.
1. For instance, adherence to family planning education and religious teachings, such as God's commandments.
2. We can also correct improper behaviour through law enforcement, punishing law breakers, e.g. thieves, bandits and corrupt people.
3. Discourage the importing and use of drugs (e.g. marijuana) which are harmful to one's health.
4. Lastly, parents should be careful to teach their children good and acceptable conducts.
5. Through providing civil education and employment to the youth so as to reduce the rate of poverty, which can also be helpful in correcting improper behaviour.
Educating Children
Other Types of Behaviour
The following are basic types of human behaviour:
1. Assertive: this refers to strong expressions intended to make other people recognise one's rightful authority. It also refers to doing something by behaving confidently. It relies on honest, direct and appropriate expression of needs, wants or feelings as a first resort.
2. Avoidance: this is used to avoid any confrontation. People practice avoidance because of possible consequences or because one does not wish to be bothered by the consequences. Avoidance can be exercised in many ways, refusing to get a diagnostic test, not answering a phone/or a letter to certain people or avoiding making any contact with them.
3. Submissive: this is also known as accommodating behaviour, which reduces the anxiety, guilt or fear in others by letting its own views or thoughts be misconstrued, ignored or taken advantage of. Submissive behaviour is instilled in children by parents, school and society. It can lead to building up resentment, leading to an aggressive outburst.
4. Aggressive behaviour: this refers to behaving in a threatening way, and always ready to attack. This type of behaviour offends or tramples on someone else's rights. It is a showing of anger. Sometimes, aggression can be an expression of fear, lack of self-esteem or the inability to control a situation in any other way.
5. Appropriate behaviour: this achieves necessary and desired goals without infringing the rights and the needs of others. For instance, maintaining healthy eating habits, showing satisfaction for a service, and not annoying others.
Decision Making is a process of thinking to select a course of action from among many alternatives. A person can, through voting, decide who should be his/her leader. Again, one can decide whom to get married to and when. One can also decide when to start a business or which course to take in a college.
On the other hand, Responsible Decision Making is the process of making the choice after considering all options available through a particular criterion.
Decision making is a continuous process in life. It helps in the development and management of material and human resources. It is the situation in which a person, who makes a decision, is accountable and takes the blame for the bad outcome of the decision. It happens when each member of the society feels obliged to participate in the formulation of policies, organising and developing resources to realise societal goals.
The power to make decisions is given to people who do certain tasks, like planning, formulating national policies or organising family matters for the betterment of the society. It depends greatly on experience, feelings, cognition, sensing, judgment, reasoning, instruction and sometimes the level of education and a person's profession.
Decision Making
Rational Decision Making
This involves reasoning and critical thinking before making decisions. It implies making a healthy decision. Skills needed to Make Healthy Decisions. In making a healthy decision, there are clear steps to be followed so as to realise the intended goal.
We propose seven steps as shown below:
1. Define the problem/identify the problem. We should ask ourselves if there is a problem and how we can solve it correctly. Also, identify the importance, urgency and magnitude of the problem so as to determine the resources needed to solve it.
2. Generate possible solutions/alternatives
3. Generate the criteria for assessing the objectives. Ask yourself: am I measuring the right thing? Find out if the merits outweigh the demerits of each alternative.
4. Select the best solution/alternative, especially when the merits outweigh demerits. The decision made will be a healthy one.
5. Implement the chosen alternative.
6. Evaluate the success of the chosen alternative.
7. Modify the decision and actions taken, based on the evaluation done in step six.
Levels in decision-making
The Levels in Making Decisitions
There are three levels at which decisions are made, the family, community and national level.
1. Family Level
The members of a family (i.e. parents and children) are involved in making decisions on different matters. But in most cases, parents are the main decision makers because of their age, experience and authority. Some decisions, especially those which touch directly on the interests of children, must involve both children and parents.
For example, if a father wants to buy something for his family, he must first seek the child's willingness and preference before buying it. Therefore, it is important for family members to ask and respect each other's opinions before making decisions.
2. Community Level
Decision making at this level can be made by the people who are in power. These are people who have been given authority to make plans on behalf of other members of the community. On the other hand, some decisions are made by the whole community. The community members gather to discuss some matters, such as building hospitals, schools and roads.
3. National Level
At this level, broad decisions are made, and important national issues are decided upon. There are some organs which share in making national decisions, these are: the parliament, which makes laws; the executive, which implements the laws and policies of the country, and the judiciary which interprets laws and see that justice prevails in the country.
Decision Making
Importance of Making Responsible Decisions
It is important to make responsible decisions because.
1. It ensures the careful use of the limited resources for the betterment and development of the society.
2. It also helps to build a sense of commitment to decisions made on behalf of the people.
3. Responsible decision brings a sense of making a collective effort, as one element of a democratic society.
4. Finally, it

On the south coast of South Africa, scientists have found evidence for an advanced stone age technology dated to 71,000 years ago at Pinnacle Point near Mossel Bay. This technology, allowing projectiles to be thrown at greater distance and killing power, takes hold in other regions of Africa and Eurasia about 20,000 years ago. When combined with other findings of advanced technologies and evidence for early symbolic behavior from this region, the research documents a persistent pattern of behavioral complexity that might signal modern humans evolved in this coastal location. These findings were reported in the article "An Early and Enduring Advanced Technology Originating 71,000 Years Ago in South Africa" in the November 7 issue of the journal Nature.
