2) Subject: Why the Humanities Matter-please add your voice
In response to the "Crisis" of the Humanities and the SUNY Albany decision to cut a series of programs, we at Union College have set up a Wiki where people can comment on "Why The Humanities Matter." The site is meant to allow for voices from all disciplines and any and all institutions and beyond, to respond to this "simple", yet underrepresented question. Although much literature has been written about this topic, our hope is that voices from all walks of life will answer this question in plain English (or any other language).
Please add your voices to this site, and/or forward the Wiki to your colleagues and friends working in different disciplines inside and outside academic institutions.
To add your voice, you simply need to:
1. Copy and paste the following URL: http://whythehumanitiesmatter.wikispaces.com/
2. Click the "EDIT" button and write your message.
3. Then click the "SAVE" button.

Testimonio 2.0: Endless Voice?
Within the past decade, many renowned scholars of Latin American testimonio, including Beverley, Sklodowska, and Nance, have either questioned its effectiveness in documenting and promoting social change or gone so far as to make a case for this genre's demise. Their scholarship is often based on testimonio a la Miguel Barnet or Rigoberta Menchú—traditional paradigms that once defined the genre according to early critics Yúdice and Zimmerman—and therefore relies on certain classic boundaries and origins. While broader understandings of testimonio, such as the chronicles and the picaresque novel, have been wide ranging and based on long-standing issues of production and reception, most testimonio criticism assumes the central roles of the witness/testigo and a poetics of urgency to recount a contestatory narrative.
With Testimonio 2.0: Endless Voice?, the editors seek to compile a collection of essays which explores a trajectory of novel articulations for testimonio and/or a trajectory of distancing from the genre. These paths might mean a new generation of testimonio and testimonio scholarship, for example, or simply the era of post-testimonio. Instead of anchoring testimonio upon the traditional testigo, can we perhaps shift our critical gaze elsewhere within literature and other discourses of representation, such as cinema, in order to reconceptualize the act of witnessing? Further, can we situate testimonio within sociocultural fields such as the geography of urban landscapes as marked by memory through monuments, posters, and the graffiti of public spaces? Can we consider geography in general as a kind of witness to history by way of ecotestimonios? What of the oral interview which then relies upon transcription and the written word? Can we locate testimonio as well in other fields of meaning production such as the pictogram, the photograph, or in computer-generated animation and graphics? Do cyborgs have testimonios to share within alternative realities that belie common concepts of time and space? Is testimonio, in fact, grounded in a Western notion of time? Instead of the metaphor of time as an arrow wherein narrative has a discrete past, present, and future, may we perhaps embrace the more ancient notion of time as cyclical? Under this paradigm, the future can be remembered and witnessed as prophecy. Can prophecy be testimonio? Perhaps most importantly, what common discursive markers are shared by these two potential generations and/or between testimonio and post-testimonio?
To be considered for this collection, please send an abstract of 300-500 words with bibliography and abbreviated CV to both Louise Detwiler (ladetwiler@salisbury.edu) and Janis Breckenridge (breckej@whitman.edu) by December 1st, 2010. We encourage submissions from across cultures, but can only consider essays in English, with quotes translated into English. Potential contributors will be chosen on the basis of their abstracts, although acceptance of an abstract does not guarantee inclusion into the final volume. Completed essays (approximately 6000 words) should be submitted by March 1st, 2011.

Did Russia Hack the 2016 Vote Tally? This Senator Says We Don't Know for Sure
By David Corn (Page 1 of 1 pages) (View How Many People Read This) 2 comments

Ron Wyden also raises questions about the Senate's handling of the Trump-Russia investigation.
Senator Ron Wyden
(Image by YouTube, Channel: Dose of Dissonance) Details DMCA
At a packed press conference on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), the chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, provided a progress report on his panel's investigation of the Trump-Russia scandal. Naturally, this is a touchy and dicey matter for a Republican, and Burr tried to make some points that appeared designed to limit President Donald Trump's political vulnerabilities on this front.
First, Burr declared that although Russian hackers had probed or penetrated the election systems of at least 21 states, he could confidently state that the Russian meddling in the 2016 election resulted in no changes to the vote tallies. That is, there's no reason to question Trump's Electoral College win. And second, Burr said that Russia's use of Facebook ads during the presidential campaign seemed "indiscriminate" and not designed to help a particular candidate -- meaning the recent revelations do not bolster the case that Trump was the Kremlin's choice.
But Sen. Ron Wyden, (D-Ore.), a feisty member of the intelligence committee, says both assertions are bunk. In an interview with Mother Jones on Thursday, Wyden argued that Burr's confidence in the election system was unwarranted. "The chairman said that he can say 'certifiably' that there was no vote tampering," said Wyden. "I do not agree with this judgment. I don't think it is possible to know that. There was no systematic analysis of the voting or forensic evaluations of the voting machines."
Wyden pointed out that the Department of Homeland Security has noted that its assessment that there was no finagling with the vote count was made with only "moderate confidence." For Wyden, that's not good enough for such a sensitive and significant matter -- and it sends the misguided signal that the voting system is doing just fine. Wyden believes that's the wrong message. This week he sent a letter to the major manufacturers of voting machines demanding information about how they protect themselves from cyberattacks.

874 Results for "recession"
Relevance | Date
PICK YOUR ECONOMIC NUMBERS CAREFULLY
Although the possibility of a double-dip recession--actually two recessions, like those of 1981 and 1982, with a very brief time between the two--must be admitted, it is probably unlikely, if only because of the rarity of such an event. The 1981–82 double dip was very predictable if one looks at the price and interest rate data of the time and believes, as some have said, that recessions correct imbalances in the economy.

Recession Hits Chemical Workers
—Recession Hits Chemical Workers "Production cutbacks are to blame for loss of 41,300 jobs" June employment data from the Department of Labor show that job losses in the chemical sector have accelerated during 2009. Preliminary numbers indicate that the industry employs 41,300 fewer workers than at the same time a year earlier, a decrease of 4.8%.

Construction: Recovery From Recession Will Be Long And Slow
—Construction: Recovery From Recession Will Be Long And Slow "" In a recent study of the chemical industry, consulting firm Deloitte predicts that the recession will have a long-lasting effect on makers of construction chemicals and paint ingredients. The study's authors point out that the size of the U.S. housing market, for instance, dropped 47% between 2007 and 2009 to $178 billion.

European Producers' 2012 Earnings Stifled By Ongoing Economic Recession
—European Producers' 2012 Earnings Stifled By Ongoing Economic Recession "Chemical Earnings: Full-year results are lackluster with no economic pickup in sight" Key European chemical manufacturers are posting earnings for 2012 that are lower than the previous year as the region's economic recession continues to bite. The concern voiced by companies including Clariant, AkzoNobel, and Solvay is that Europe's recession shows no signs of ending. Firms are now seeking to cut costs in their home market while expanding elsewhere in the world. Clariant's 8.3% sales growth in 2012 was driven by its 2011 acquisition of catalyst maker Süd-Chemie, without which sales would have been flat.

All Eyes On The Economy
—All Eyes On The Economy "A recession in the U.S. could hit chemical makers hard" RECESSION WORRIES came to a head last week, sending financial markets into a frenzy and leaving experts wondering how much impact a downturn would have on the chemical sector. As recently as late last year, economists had been hoping that strong U.S. employment and retail sales would offset the housing slump, but new statistics show both the job market and consumer spending to be alarmingly weak.

Tough Times Ahead
—Tough Times Ahead "Global recession will dramatically slow chemical output" IN THE WANING WEEKS of 2008, the chemical industry is confronting slower growth and economic indicators that point to another year of bad news. According to the American Chemistry Council (ACC), the U.S. chemical industry's main trade organization, the consensus view is that global chemical output will increase only 2.2% for the year, compared with a peak of 5.4% growth in 2004.

Economists See End To Recession
—Economists See End To Recession "ACC predicts U.S. chemical output will rise 1.6% in 2010" The economic free fall is over, and the end of the recession is within sight, say economists at the American Chemistry Council, the U.S. chemical industry's main trade association. Expect the U.S. economy to have hit bottom in the second quarter and then move into positive territory in the second half of the year, write T.

Facts & Figures Of The Chemical Industry
—Facts & Figures Of The Chemical Industry "For the chemical industry, 2008 started strong, but recession dragged it down" It will be a long time before the world's chemical company employees forget the roller-coaster ride that was 2008. The industry had a promising start, but it couldn't avoid the economic devastation that spread to almost every corner of the globe. Indeed, many of the total figures for 2008 recorded in Facts & Figures do not yet reflect the full force of the current recession. The year started on a high note. Strong demand for the industry's products, especially in emerging markets, made up for rising energy costs. By the end of the first quarter, however, flat sales volumes and concerns about the effects of the emerging financial crisis suggested tough times ahead.

This moderated newsgroup was created in November 2006 to address issues with the news.groups newsgroup. As described in the n.g.p. charter, the goal was to provide a "healthy environment where ideas can be raised, discussed, and developed."
news.groups.proposals is used primarily in step 3 of the newsgroup creation process.
To remove the flames, attacks, and other noise from this phase of the discussion, news.groups.proposals is moderated. The moderators try to insure that articles relate to a newsgroup proposal and are civil. Dissenting opinions are encouraged. For additional information on the moderation policy, refer to the n.g.p moderation policy.
You should be able to submit articles to news.groups.proposals just as you do for any other newsgroups. If you find that your news provider has misconfigured the group as unmoderated, you can email submissions to ngp@ngp.big-8.org.
What's wrong with discussing proposals for new groups in news.groups?
Even from its early days, there were issues with discussions in news.groups. (An article from 1982 refers to "the flaming [that] has gone on for a while", and calls news.groups "the silliest group on the net".) Regular participants in news.groups learn to cope with flames, insults, and other disruptive behavior. Coping mechanisms include software killfiles and learning that certain individuals are in news.groups not to provide constructive criticism but simply to play with the system.
Proponents for new groups were required by the group-creation process to participate in the discussion of their proposal in news.groups. Some proponents are intimidated by this prospect since they do not have the coping mechanisms employed by news.groups regulars. Supporters and potential participants in new groups are not likely to understand the dynamics of news.groups and thus the discussion process is discouraged.
In order to address these issues, the members of the Board proposed a new location for discussion of new groups. This group encourages dissenting opinions that are expressed in a civil way.
Does all discussion of an RFD have to take place in n.g.p?
n.g.p is the place to create an "official" record of the key decisions made by proponents.
Discussion, of course, may take place anywhere in Usenet. No one can stop anyone from talking about the RFD wherever they wish.
Proponents may take note of such other discussions if they wish. To enter the results of those discussions into the record, they should mention them in the appropriate thread(s) in n.g.p.
Further details about the responsibilities of the proponent(s) during the discussion of the RFD.
Why should I participate in news.groups.proposals?
The Board needs to follow the discussion so that they are well informed to vote on the group's creation, and it is the discussion in news.groups.proposals that they read. Comments in other newsgroups, including news.groups, may be seen by the Board but they are not required to follow discussion in other groups, so such comments are not "official". To insure that your comments are seen by the Board, make them in news.groups.proposals.
Why was my submission to news.groups.proposals rejected?
The subject area of news.groups.proposals is clear -- discussion of newsgroup proposals. If your comments are not substantially about a proposal, they will be rejected. Threads tend to drift, and sometimes the discussion drifts away from the actual proposal into general technical or policy issues. The moderators make a judgment call on whether individual submissions contribute to the discussion of the proposed group or belong in news.groups or another venue.
Submissions which contain flames, insults, or other inappropriate material will be rejected. This is the noise that news.groups.proposals was created to resolve, and such articles will not be approved.
Submissions which contain binary data, HTML, or other material are not allowed by the charter.
Crossposting is generally discouraged. Submissions that are crossposted to a moderated group, or to more than three groups (including news.groups.proposals) are automatically rejected by the moderation software. Appropriate crossposting to three groups or less may be allowed at the discretion of the moderators.
Excessive quoting is not allowed. If you quote someone else's article and add "Me, too" at the bottom, your submission will be rejected. The moderators make a judgement call on "excessive". Please include enough of the article to which you're replying to provide context, but do not quote parts of it that you are not addressing. For example, if you wish to make a few specific comments on the RFD, it is not necessary to quote the entire RFD in your article; trim it to the portions that are relevant to what you have to say.
For additional information on the moderation policy, refer to n.g.p moderation policies.
Remember that news.groups.proposals is a moderated group. That means that you will not see your article instantly on your news server. Your server emails the article to the group's submission address and it waits there for a human moderator to approve it. Please do not resubmit your article because it did not immediately show in your news reader like you're used to.
Assuming that you used a valid email address, you will receive a confirmation email when your article is received by the moderation system, and another when it is approved.
Most providers have a mechanism for requesting that new groups be added. If you follow this procedure, chances are that you will obtain access to the group via your normal source.
In the meantime, you can access it by pointing your news reader to news.killfile.org.

Home / Itineraries / Bali on a budget!
Planning a family holiday to Bali or a honeymoon to Bali? Well, we have some good news for you. Bali is a budget friendly destination where you can explore the best of nature without having to worry about breaking your bank funds. If you look up Holiday packages to Bali, you will be flooded with a list of options with exciting deals offered by various tour operators. Bali is a very happening tourist destination, and hence there is a package that is tailored for every kind of holidayer with different kinds of budgets. So, before you finalise your travel package, here are a few handy tips to plan a budget friendly holiday to Bali, to get the most value for your money.
1.Plan Ahead: If you have a holiday on mind, may as well be scouting around the rates from advance. Keep your eyes open for the airline deals and package deals that are introduced time to time by various travel operators. Sales can come and go without you even noticing, so just subscribe for a few mailing options so that you are informed and can make the most of the offers announced.
2.Minimise your airline costs: One of the biggest expenses involved in any international travel including Bali is the airline costs. There are a number of low cost airlines that fly to Bali from different locations. If you are booking a holiday package to Bali, speak to your tour operator about the low cost carrier options that can help you save costs. If you are booking the flight tickets by yourself, then it is best to avoid booking via comparison sites and it is best to book the flight directly via airline website. This is because a number of flight websites miss out on showing low cost airlines on their list.
3.All inclusive package: If you are booking a holiday package to Bali, make sure you are booking an all inclusive package which includes shuttles, tips and taxes. Food in Bali is cheap, depending upon where you are having it. Local food is certainly cheap but may not appeal to every palette. Five star resorts and hotels have excellent food which may come with a certain price. Make sure your travel itinerary covers food options for you to save out on spending extra without knowing.
4.Season matters: Bali is a tourist heavy destination and hence the prices vary depending upon what season of travel you are opting for. Highest travel season to Bali is during July and August and during the Christmas to New Year period. This is the busiest and the most expensive time to be in Bali. If you are flexible opt for the off season time in Bali, when you are likely to get the best deals and lesser crowds to explore Bali at its best. Your best time of planning a holiday could be from April to June and then in September before the peak season hits.
5.Bargain: Local buys and souvenirs in Bali could turn out to be more expensive than its actual worth if you don't bargain. Make it a point to always quote a lower price before you say yes to any deal. The locals are used to the bargaining by the tourists and hence won't mind you.


BANGKOK – A new temporary constitution gives Thailand's military government sweeping powers in the run-up to a planned 2015 election, and a senior army official says the junta leader could serve as interim premier.
Thailand adopted the charter following the May 22 coup to allow an interim legislature and Cabinet to begin governing the country in tandem with the military.
The charter gives the junta almost supreme authority over politics, although Wissanu Krea-ngam, a legal adviser to the military, said Wednesday that the junta will handle only peacekeeping and security matters.
According to deputy army commander Gen. Paiboon Kumchaya, junta leader Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha could serve as interim premier under the new rules.
The coup overthrew an elected government following months of political conflict.

If your family is like ours, things tend to get crazy during the week. Even though I work from home, the days tend to get busy and with a two year old…we all know that things never go as expected. So, while I can have the best intentions for dinner, it doesn't always happen. Recently, I discovered an easy and delicious weeknight meal and it's become one of our favorite 'go-to' weeknight meals: Idahoan® Steakhouse® Soups.
Last night, Josh had to work late because part of his job is plowing snow when the weather is bad. Since they were calling for snow here, he ended up working a 12+ hour shift, so it was just Levi and I here for dinner. I wanted to make an easy but delicious dinner, and what better for a cold winter night than soup? I absolutely love potato soup, but didn't have all of the necessary ingredients to make it, plus I didn't have the time to make it from scratch. Then, I realized that I had Idahoan® Steakhouse® Creamy Potato Soup in our pantry. By simply adding the packet of soup to boiling water, stirring and let simmer for a bit- I had a delicious meal for us in under 5 minutes! I made us both a quick grilled cheese and dinner was served in under 30 minutes total- I call that a 'mom win'!
Levi preferred his soup plain, but I added a bit of garnish to mine. After tasting it, I realized it didn't even need the garnishes, it was full of flavor by itself! It's not everyday that you get delicious, steakhouse style soup in under 5 minutes at home! Idahoan® Steakhouse® Soups are available in four delicious varieties: Loaded Potato, Creamy Potato, Cheddar Broccoli and Cheddar Potato.
What's your favorite go-to weeknight meal?


Syntegra MD Alan King is networking with a difference this week – with built environment colleagues on the ski slopes.
He's representing the company at PropSki 2019 in the world famous ski resort of Chamonix in France – informal networking with hundreds of peers from dozens of international companies.
The event, set up in 2012, aims to bring together representatives of all levels from across the property sector for opportunities to meet and grow business.
'I'm having a fantastic time here at PropSki,' he said. 'It's an amazing venue, incredible opportunity to talk to other influencers in the property sector and unique chance for us to showcase our services to others working in various sectors of the built environment.
Anyone reading this before January 19th, who is in Chamonix at the event – or knows people there – get in touch to arrange the chance to enjoy some après ski with Alan.
Anyone reading it after that, join us in hoping that Alan and his team are still intact and not nursing any ski injuries that would prevent them from travelling to meet you elsewhere!

Witney News - Council pledges food waste reduction target
Council pledges food waste reduction target
West Oxfordshire District Council has signed up to the Courtauld Commitment, a pledge to cut food and drink waste by 20 per cent before 2025.
The Courtauld Commitment 2025 is a voluntary agreement launched by the Waste and Resource Action Programme (WRAP).
It brings together organisations across the food system from producer to consumer to food waste disposal.
Cllr Richard Langridge, Cabinet Member for the Environment said: "Food waste in West Oxfordshire is collected weekly and recycled locally. Although it is a popular service there is room for improvement as many food items are still being thrown into the general rubbish bin. Reducing waste is a priority for us, which is why we are more than happy to sign up to the Courtauld 2025 Commitment. It underlines and supports the excellent work the District Council is already doing."
Recent initiatives undertaken by the Council to improve food waste recycling rates include social media advertising and a doorstep campaign to promote recycling and composting. These campaigns relate directly to the objectives of the Courtauld Commitment.
Food waste recycling was introduced in West Oxfordshire in 2010. Householders are provided with a free kitchen caddy and outdoor bin. After collection it is taken to an anaerobic digestion plant in Cassington where it is recycled into a liquid fertiliser called 'digestive' for use on local farmland and renewable electricity is generated as a by-product during the process.
The Cassington plant processes food waste from across Oxfordshire and creates fertiliser for local farmers to use, along with enough electricity to power 4,000 homes on an on-going basis.
Richard Swannell, Director of Sustainable Food Systems at WRAP said: "Courtauld 2025 is our most ambitious agreement yet and we are delighted that West Oxfordshire District Council has pledged its support as a signatory.
"We are faced with some big challenges ahead with rising populations, climate change and dwindling resources. But tackling food waste offers a practical option to address these challenges and in doing so, will create new opportunities. Only by working together can we hope to realise the big changes that are essential to ensuring a more prosperous future for individuals, businesses and the planet."

The African Legal Support Facility receives GBP 1 million over two years from the United Kingdom
Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, 15th February 2021 : The African Legal Support Facility (ALSF) and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland acting through the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) signed a Memorandum of Understanding, which provides modalities for cooperation between them, including a GBP 1 million grant from the FCDO to the ALSF to support Building Debt Management Capacity in Low-Income Countries over a two year period.
Previously, the UK extended a GBP 7 million grant to the ALSF to support the provision of legal advice and technical assistance to African Countries to negotiate and conclude equitable, bankable and sustainable agreements that also safeguard their sovereign rights and maximize their resources for economic and social development. Out of the 53 oil, gas, mining and infrastructure-related complex commercial contracts (amounting to USD 97.8 billion in value) negotiated by the end of this programme period in 2017, the UK's contribution supported 14 contracts, exceeding the 12 contracts originally targeted and representing about 27.2 percent of the GDP of the beneficiary countries.
As the COVID-19 pandemic persists, African countries are taking urgent measures to manage the spread of the disease and to limit the human and socio-economic impacts, including the impact on their debt portfolios. In recognition of the extraordinary needs of African countries, and to support the G20 Debt Service Suspension Initiative (supported by the IMF and the World Bank), the UK Government committed GBP 1 million to fund ALSF activities to enhance African countries' debt management strategies for recovery and rebuilding during and post COVID-19. On 18 July 2020, the UK Government Minister for Africa, James Duddridge, tweeted: "Great to see £1m of #UKaid announced by @RishiSunak to @AfDB_Group @africalegal - which will provide advice and support to African countries to help them manage debts and recover from the coronavirus pandemic #G20".
Acknowledging the timeliness of the support of the UK Government, the Director and CEO of the ALSF noted that the funds will enable the ALSF to respond effectively to the requests from African countries to provide the legal and technical support required to better manage their debt vulnerabilities and undertake debt restructuring where necessary, to promote sustainable investments and transactions to improve the lives of the people of Africa.
Created by the African Development Bank in 2010, the ALSF supports governments in negotiating complex commercial transactions, providing legal and technical assistance in public-private partnership projects across the oil and gas, mining and energy sectors, and covering sovereign debt issues and creditor litigation.

Our dryers are a modern convenience that we tend to take for granted, and don't think much about. But, when a dryer breaks down and we can't access clean and dry clothing, the essential role of the dryer becomes painfully clear. Often times, a dryer breakdown involves a lack of heat. Your dryer will turn on and off and cycle normally, but no heat is being produced. There are many reasons for this problem, and we've outlined ten of them here!
1) Blown Thermal Fuse: Your dryer includes a part called a thermal fuse which will blow if your dryer becomes overheated. This prevents the entire unit from being destroyed. If you've blown a thermal fuse, your dryer is likely clogged in some area and you'll need a professional to clean and replace the fuse.
2) Defective Gas Valve: If you have a gas-powered dryer, chances are any problems may be caused by a defective gas valve. If your gas valve isn't functioning, you'll have no heat and will need a repair or replacement.
3) Igniter Issues: For gas-powered dryers, an essential part of generating heat is ignition. A defective igniter will leave you without heat, and will need to be replaced.
4) Heating Element Failure: The heating element is the source of the heat that dries your clothing. If your heating element has failed, you'll need to get a professional to install a replacement.
5) Heating Element Assembly Failure: More severe than a heating element failure, it is possible that your lack of heat is caused by damage to the entire assembly. Your technician may need to replace the entire heating element housing to get your dryer running again.
6) Sensor Issues: In gas dryers, a heat sensor sets the igniter in motion. With a defective sensor, your igniter may never kick into effect.
7) Power Supply Issue: If your dryer is receiving an inadequate power supply, it will not be able to function fully, and will face damage over time. Be sure your dryer is receiving an adequate supply, and plugged in and grounded as recommended by the manufacturer.
8) Thermostat Failure: In most dryers, a thermostat is installed to ensure your dryer will not overheat. If the thermostat is malfunctioning, it may indicate an overheat and prevent your dryer from functioning.
9) Cycling Thermostat: The cycling thermostat controls the heat of your loads and ensures laundry is heated to the perfect temperature. If this thermostat fails, your dryer won't be able to produce heat, or is in danger of overheating and causing a secondary problem.
10) Controls and Timers: The function of modern dryers are handled by a control board and timers. If any of these controls are not functioning, your dryer may be receiving incorrect input, and fail to function.
When it comes to dryer problems, there are a lot of reasons you might be facing issues. Some of these problems can be fixed at home through a round of troubleshooting, but others will need to have the appliance repair expert in Kitchener work on it.


Aug. 23, 2011 5:00 a.m.
VICTORIA – He would never quite admit it, but former premier Gordon Campbell's push for self-sufficiency in clean electricity has always looked to me like a long-term strategy to export hydroelectric power.
It still looks that way. B.C.'s spring and summer runoff match perfectly with peak air-conditioner season in California. But the recent review of BC Hydro operations discusses how the prospects for exports have changed since Campbell's 2007 energy plan.
The government instructed BC Hydro to wean itself off power imports by 2016, even in drought years, and obtain new capacity mostly from outside sources with net zero greenhouse gas emissions. Nuclear plants were formally ruled out.
Cue the doomsayers. Independent power production is enemy number one for BC Hydro unions. Their champion, NDP energy critic John Horgan, was immediately out with a grossly distorted version of the report. He cherry-picked statistics to compare the $124-per-megawatt hour average cost for delivering independent power with the lowest end of the spot market for electricity, which currently swings wildly from around $4 to more than $50.
In fact the report puts the average price paid for IPP power at $63.85. Compare that with the projected cost of $87 to $95 for power from Site C, the proposed third dam on the Peace River that will be BC Hydo owned and operated.
The $124 figure includes other costs, notably extending the electricity grid to connect IPPs. Horgan claims to favour wind or run-of-river for remote areas with no other clean energy option, but apparently is against hooking them up to the grid.
When it comes to electricity exports, the important point is not what power sells for today, but what it will be worth a decade from now. And that depends on whether clean energy can command a premium price, and whether coal and other fossil fuel sources have a carbon price imposed on them.
Conventional wisdom right now is that carbon taxes and cap and trade programs are, if not dead, at least dormant in North America. Climate change has fallen off the front page as the U.S. and Europe grapple with economic troubles.
So I was surprised to find that this month Powerex, BC Hydro's electricity trading company, wrote to the California Air Resources Board asking for clarification of the state's proposed changes to its greenhouse gas reporting and cap and trade rules. California wants to prevent suppliers from engaging in "resource shuffling," where a supplier such as B.C. might import coal power from Alberta for its own use, while selling supposedly clean power for export.
Considering that restriction, B.C.'s self-sufficiency rule starts to make more sense. If B.C. is not importing power, its supply must be clean.
Also, a meta-analysis on climate effects came out last week in the journal Science, detailing world-wide species migration due to warming.
Clean energy sales to California are a long way off, but it would be a mistake to reject the possibility.

Chemical acid compounds in safe cosmetic concentrations are used under the supervision of physicians in cosmetic skincare programs. The recommended programs can be repeated as often as every one to two weeks in the absence of irritation or other possible side effects.
Most patients do not experience adverse effects from the use of chemical acid products. On occasion, temporary side effects such as mild swelling, redness, or peeling to mild scabbing have been experienced. These changes can generally be relieved by applying a mild cortisone cream or emollient cream. In the event any side effect or adverse reaction is experienced, notify your physician immediately and avoid using any harsh scrubs or irritating medication until you have recovered.
Chemical acid formulations are intended to slough the skin, but applications will not necessarily induce an actual visible peel. The formulations can create a tighter and firmer complexion. The programs recommended include the application of the products to the face for several minutes and then the thorough removal of the materials. Mild cooling agents, bland moisturizers and sunscreen may be used after treatment. The skin rejuvenation home care program designed for you may usually be resumed 24 to 48 hours after your peel unless your practitioner gives you with other special instructions.
Benefits of the chemical acid peel program include improvement in the overall appearance of the skin through softening of fine lines, combating dry skin, smoothing out rough texture and reducing pigmentary problems. To achieve best results, a program of at least six consecutive in-office applications under physician supervision should be undertaken with diligent adherence to the home skincare program, a necessary supplement to the professional applications.
I certify that I have read and understand the contents of this consent form. I have been given the opportunity to ask the doctor/staff any questions that I have about the procedure, and all of my questions have been answered. The doctor/staff has explained the procedure and its alternatives to me, and I both understand and accept the risks involved in this procedure. I hereby authorize my doctor and his/her assistant to proceed with the chemical acid peel program.


The largest loss of life, 120 persons, was in 1780 with the crew and passengers on HMS Ontario.
I have never seen an estimage of the number of lives lost on Lake Ontario but I would guess that it is probably well over 200.
We are looking to dive on a wreck from the war of 1812, in L.Ont. in less than 100ft. of water. Is this possible?
Identity of a Napa River Shipwreck?
I was a member of the crew on CG 56022 when it sank in Lake Ontario. Thus far all the stories I have read about the sinking are untrue.?

В канадском городе Калгари (Альберта) существуют давние традиции занятия зимними видами спорта. Это во многом обусловлено его местоположением недалеко от альбертских Скалистых гор и национального парка Банф. После проведения Зимних Олимпийских игр 1988 в городе остались сооружения для занятий зимними видами спорта. В Калгари также существует несколько профессиональных и любительских спортивных команд. Кроме того, город является крупным мировым центром проведения родео.

В Калгари также находится Харт-Хаус («Темница»), спортивный лагерь по занятию борьбой, основанный Стью Хартом.

В списке самых посещаемых природных ландшафтов в мире Калгари находится среди лидеров. Национальный парк Банф находится всего в 125 км к северо-западу от Калгари по Трансканадской магистрали. В 30 км к западу от города находится город Брэгг-Крик, а в 45 км к западу от Брэгг-Крика расположен район восстановления Ландшафт Кананаскиса, где есть кемпинги и все условия для туризма, верховой езды, скалолазания, проложены тропы для езды на горном велосипеде и катания на лыжах по пересечённой местности. По пути в Кананаскис на магистрали находится провинциальный полигон для огнестрельного оружия.

В этих парках многие калгарийцы и миллионы туристов каждый год наслаждаются катанием на велосипеде, лыжах, сноуборде и горном сноуборде, длительными прогулками, жизнью за городом. Город Банф ежегодно посещают почти пять миллионов туристов.

В Калгари гордятся многообразием спортивных лиг в летнее и зимнее время. В различных местах в Калгари можно поиграть в австралийский футбол, хоккей на траве, баскетбол, нетбол, лакросс, крикет, футзал и волейбол.

В последнее время значительно возрос интерес к футболу, в который играют как летом, так и в помещении зимой. На двух крытых футбольных аренах, расположенных в Юго-Восточном и Северо-Западном Калгари, можно поиграть в любое время года.

Спортивные сооружения

Калгари был хозяином Зимних Олимпийских игр 1988. Многие олимпийские сооружения продолжают работать как крупные тренировочные объекты с высоким уровнем подготовки. Одни из самых примечательных среди них — Канадский олимпийский парк и Олимпийский овал. В настоящее время в Калгари имеется санно-бобслейная трасса и трамплин.

Спортсмены также используют местное высокое положение над уровнем моря для совершенствования своей выносливости. Сооружения мирового класса и близость к Канадским Скалистым горам привлекают в Калгари спортсменов со всей Канады и со всего мира для тренировок по зимним видам спорта.

Калгарийский универсальный стадион Пенгроут-Сэдлдоум был известен раньше как Олимпик-Сэдлдоум. Сэдлдоум был первым в Северной Америке современным стадионом, способным вмещать каток с размерами по олимпийским стандартам. На главном калгарийском открытом стадионе Макмэхон проходили церемонии открытия и закрытия Олимпийских игр, а сейчас он является домашним стадионом Калгари Стампидерс, калгарийской команды, играющей в Канадской футбольной лиге. Стадион может вместить около 40 000 человек и является пятым по величине в Канаде.

Олимпийский овал — это, в первую очередь, конькобежный стадион, на котором могут проводиться хоккейные матчи и тренировки высокого уровня. Всемирно известен лёд этого катка, на котором тренируются и соревнуются одни из лучших конькобежцев в мире. Лёд Овала часто расхваливают как «самый быстрый лёд на Земле», из-за того что на стадионе используются термоконстантные установки и из-за воздействия на ледовую поверхность значительной высоты над уровнем моря. В результате именно здесь были побиты многие мировые рекорды, и здесь до мирового и олимпийского уровня выросли такие звёзды, как Катриона Лемэй-Доан и Синди Классен.

В Калгари также популярен гольф, и в городе много площадок для гольфа: загородные гольф-клубы Гленко, Глен-Форест и Калгарийский загородный гольф-клуб, входящий в число пятидесяти лучших гольф-клубов Канады.

Велоспорт

И Калгари, и Канадские Скалистые горы являются популярными местами для занятий велоспортом, в том числе на горном велосипеде. В самом Калгари существует крупная сеть велосипедных дорожек (почти 600 км) в рамках транспортной инфраструктуры города. Она широко используется как для ежедневных поездок на работу, так и для отдыха, так как соединяет большинство парков города. Популярными местами у велосипедистов являются такие крупные парки, как Провинциальный парк Фиш-Крик и парк Ноус-Хилл.

Летом Канадский олимпийский парк используется как место для велосипедных гонок и скоростного спуска. В черте города находится открытый Гленморский велодром. Калгарийская ассоциация велокросса использует кроссовый велотрек неподалёку от шоссе Блэкфут.

Также существует общая группа активной поддержки велоспорта Bike Calgary.

Dash Cam - Do you have one?
Discussion in 'DIY Instructables' started by Queue, Nov 15, 2018.
Yes front only. If I did it again I would get front and rear.
Installation was easy its suction cup mount.
Worth it. Well haven't been in an accident no. But have recorded myself being cut off about x10000 times.
Cotts612, jubella2 and Ctracey218 like this.
Did you hard wire it or are you just plugging it in?
Mine has a usb connection that supplies power. Its routed to the glove box power port in my BRZ.
ditto what JJ said. But I never used mine so gave it to my parents. Next one will be front and rear.
Might hardwire it this time though. Super easy on most cars with the dome light in it's own housing right there to tap off of.
I have the Yi brand. Bought on amazon. It uses a sticker mount on the windshield and I put it behind the rear view mirror so I don't see the camera when driving. It is usb powered though the glove box port like Jason and I ran the wire under the headliner and behind the passenger A pillar so no exposed wires. It has wifi and an app so if something worth saving happens you can download it straight to your phone without having to unplug anything or remove the memory card.
Ntxhuav_Khang and Queue like this.
Slightly OT, but how's the quality of the Yi hardware and the UI for their app? Looking at one of their action cameras.
Front and rear. Easy to install and the flat mount keeps it relatively discreet when tucked up in the black frit area of the windshield. It was totally worth it when someone nailed me on the passenger side while trying to make a sudden left turn from the middle lane while I was alongside in the left lane (3-lane one way road). I sent off the video to my insurance agent who then immediately was able to prove my innocence and the claims process went swiftly and smoothly afterwards. I have the same cam installed in my wife's car as well, and I usually wear a helmet cam when I'm biking in the city.
I have nothing to compare it to but I have been pleased. I got the camera for about $50 and it records 1080p and auto loops on the memory card. The app is simple to navigate and is easy to pull clips from. If you were downloading a lot of footage it would probably be pretty slow but it works fine for downloading 20 second clips.
Queue and tangledupinblu like this.
Do you have a 20 second clip of you taking it in the rear in the BRZ? Or did you only have the "forward facing" camera at the time?
Ntxhuav_Khang, Krazylegz1485 and Queue like this.
This is the one I have but it looks like there is a newer model out now.
I saw your rear, it was definitely "touched".
g0tiMe, Krazylegz1485 and jubella2 like this.
This place is always guaranteed entertainment. Love it.
I have a ThinkWare Q50 I believe it is? It get's zero use because like an idiot, I didn't look in to the software that was needed, and it does not work with Mac OS, only PC. I'd be willing to part with it if you're interested. It has a great pic quality, just doesn't work with my devices.
Worth it as it got a license plate of a guy who stole from home depot.
Thx. I have a Mac too.
Falcon Zero F360. Dual cameras that can both be rotated, night vision, audio recording. Fits over your rear-view mirror and has the bonus of making your rear-view mirror view much larger. Downside is that your sun visor won't go down all the way. Have been using it for over year as an Uber/Lyft driver with no major issues. Once in awhile you have to reformat the SD card, as it's constantly rewriting 8 hours of video.


In 2016, researchers found more than 900 hate groups operating in the US, with over 100 of them having a presence on Twitter.
Twitter has declared a ban on them and last month the purge began. But Twitter also got heat for doing it wrong when it banned a satire site.
Ex-NSA analyst Emily Crose has been single-handedly trying to make this problem easier to solve by developing an AI system that identifies "dog whistle" images.
Twitter and Facebook say hate speech is a violation of their policies but they also say it can be hard to identify who is engaged in bona fide hate speech and who isn't.
Twitter demonstrated the problem earlier this week when it came under fire for blocking a German satirical magazine's Twitter account after it parodied anti-Muslim comments.
Crose was appalled by the neo nazi marchers at Charlottesville, Virginia, and the violence that killed three people and injured dozens more. One of the people attacked and injured was Crose's friend.
So she's taken it upon herself to develop a technology she calls nemesis. It uses artificial intelligence to identify white nationalists by scanning the pictures and videos they post. nemesis is looking for the symbols they use to identify themselves, their so called "dog whistles." These might include neo-Confederate flags or certain takes on Pepe the frog.
Her goal with NEMESIS is to help educate people but also to show social media sites how they can find white supremacists and "enforce some decency on their own platforms," she told Motherboard's Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai.
Crose explained to Business Insider that the idea for the tech didn't come directly from her work at the NSA. "What I did for Nemesis I had to learn entirely on my own."
She used TensorFlow to train her app to spot the images, a popular free and open source AI development technology created by Google.
"I'm currently working on porting the beta system to a production system that we can then run on a front end with Twitter," she tells us.
In other words, she's just about ready to use her homemade tool to go hunting for white supremacists on Twitter.
"If I can do this as an individual with few resources, @TwitterSafety should be able to do this easily. The question is, why haven't they?" she said in a tweet.
Last month, Twitter proved that it was getting serious about the problem, although it remains to be seen how well it will be able to root out hate groups and keep them from coming back. Twitter did begin suspending accounts on December 18, dubbed the #twitterpurge.
Perhaps Nemesis will inspire Twitter to do more. Here's a peek at how it works from a video Crose posted on Twitter.


Notes: This film was based on the hilarious Telugu novel 'Barrister Parvateesam' (1924) by Mokkapati Narasimha Sastry. The title role of Parvateesam is played by Lanka Satyam. This was second film to him. His first movie was 'Amma', directed by Niranjan Pal. He worked as assistant to Director R. Prakash. Varalakshmi got the female lead role unexpectedly. Director Prakash saw her, when she was acting in the stage play 'Sakkubai' in Rajahmundry, and called her for make-up test and given her the role of wife of Parvateesam. Then she was just 12 years old girl. She sung two songs in the film also. Kasturi Sivarao did two roles as a dentist and a rikshaw puller.
1940 was a bad year for the Telugu film industry. Many films flopped. Of the seventeen films released this year, only pure comedies like 'Barrister Parvateesam', 'Chaduvukunna Bharya' and 'Bondam Pelli' found success. 'Illalu' was another film with Kanchanamala and Umamaheswara Rao in the lead.
sir,plz give me information about how i can download this classic.
where can i watch this movie or purchase this movie?

Sister Christine Frost MBE (born 1937 in Limerick, Ireland) is a religious sister working and living in Poplar, London. She was awarded the MBE for her work in deprived areas of Tower Hamlets in the shadow of Canary Wharf, where she has been campaigning since the 1980s.
She launched the charity Neighbours in Poplar in 1968, to help older adults meet up and enjoy outings, and later South Poplar and Limehouse Action for Secure Housing (SPLASH), showing similar concern for teenagers. She is known locally for distributing Christmas meals to elderly and lonely people.
In 2010 she led a public protest against rigid restrictions introduced by Tower Hamlets Council in the name of safety following a tower block fire in south London.
On 8 August 2014, Frost removed an emblem resembling the Black Standard from the entrance to a Council estate in Poplar, as the local authority had been slow to react. She explained that the protesters had intended to express solidarity with Gaza, but had been unaware that other residents would be intimidated.

Women have unique needs when choosing golf clubs.
Women's golf clubs, often called ladies' clubs, are lighter and shorter than the sets made for men. But not all sets are suitable, and a good set can make a tremendous difference in your game. Identify the features that are key to a good game for you before buying your set.
Know your height. It may seem elemental, but it's worth having your height checked prior to buying a set of clubs. Women's heights can change with age and you may be surprised by your current measurement. Ladies' clubs are generally made to fit women between 5 foot, 2 inches and 5 foot, 9 inches.
Measure the height of your wrist to the floor when in a golf stance. While your overall height helps determine the general shaft length that best fits, this measurement can fine tune the club to a better length for you. Remember that most women tend to play with clubs that are too long, so make sure you measure your golf stance to get clubs with shafts that are appropriate to not just your height, but also your proportion.
Evaluate your swing speed. A pro shop or golf equipment store can help you by videotaping and providing a picture of your average swing. Women with slower swing speeds need to replace their irons with a club that has a hybrid construction, such as graphite. The lightness of the graphite will enable a speedier and stronger swing.
Replace your irons with utility woods. Because of their height, many women find a 7- or 9- wood to be a more comfortable club to use rather than a 3- or 4- iron. Truly dedicated female golfers often include a variety of woods (3- and 5- wood in addition to the 7- and 9- wood) as well as a few irons.
Look closely at your putter; it's one of your most required clubs. A standard women's putter is 33 inches. This length is manufactured for women 5 foot, 5 inches. If you're taller or shorter than that, test a number of putters and find one that feels best.
Evaluate wedges. You'll need a sand wedge and lob wedge to use if you're stuck in a sand trap or out in the rough. Most novice women's clubs do not include a gap wedge, but you may need one if there is a large difference in distance between your sand wedge and lob web shots.
Go to a custom fitter. Since most ladies' clubs are built for only a general slice of the population, you'll find an investment in a fitter to be worth it. A custom fitter creates clubs that take into consideration your unique size and skill level. However, since it's not an inconsiderable sum, make sure you have at least a year's experience so that your game is reasonably consistent before you head to a custom fitter.

Renewed hope for North Korea nuclear talks?
Diplomats say transfer of $25 million in frozen funds to Pyongyang clears 'first obstacle' to future progress.
By Tom A. Peter
@tomapeter
Japanese and US officials are urging Pyongyang to honor the terms of a long-delayed nuclear-disarmament deal, now that the transfer of more than $20 million in frozen North Korean funds has begun. Bloomberg reports that South Korea's chief diplomat at six-party nuclear negotiations says the transfer has "removed the first obstacle" to implementing a Feb. 13 agreement for Kim Jong Il to shut down the Yongbyon nuclear reactor, once the funds were made available.
The Associated Press reports that the US Treasury Department froze some $25 million in funds in 2005 at Macau's Banco Delta Asia (BDA) and blacklisted BDA for allegedly "helping the Pyongyang regime pass fake $100 bills and launder money from weapons sales." North Korea then balked at further discussions.
The North made the money's release its main condition for disarmament and boycotted international nuclear talks for more than a year, during which it conducted its first-ever bomb test in October.
But to win the North's promise to start dismantling its nuclear program, the U.S. agreed to give its blessing for the money to be freed and said it would happen within 30 days. The transfer has instead taken more than four months as the North insisted that it be sent electronically to another bank, apparently to prove the money is now clean.
Transferring the money to the communist nation, however, proved no easy task, reports The Washington Post. The ongoing investigation made most banks extremely reticent to become involved in the transaction.
Though the Treasury Department agreed to allow the return of money tainted by illicit activities, no bank was willing to transfer the money without explicit assurances that the Treasury would take no regulatory action. North Korea could have withdrawn the money in cash, but many experts suspected Pyongyang demanded a wire transfer to signal to financial institutions that it was once again part of the financial system.
U.S. officials trying to save the deal desperately searched for a willing bank, but each time an arrangement seemed possible, complications arose. Finally, after Russia indicated that one of its banks could help, the Treasury arranged for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to transfer the money to a dormant North Korea account at a Russian bank that operates in the Far East, near the border with North Korea.
The BBC confirms that despite the diplomatic progress it was indeed a difficult decision for President Bush.
Our correspondent says the transfer represents a major concession by the Bush administration, which initially said there could be no promise over what it called the North's criminal activities.
But despite this step forward, analysts have cautioned that the financial wrangle is only the first of many obstacles in the path towards denuclearisation.
They say that North Korea has made no clear commitment to hand over the nuclear weapons and the stockpile of fissile material that it has already developed.
Reuters reports that diplomats and experts agree, that even if President Kim accepts the terms of the Feb. 13 deal – including admitting international atomic inspectors – it is unlikely that there will be "an early resumption of the six-party talks, and regional powers [will] wait to see what North Korea does next."
"It was a one-time, technical solution and did not quite allow North Korea's integration into the international financial system," said North Korea expert Paik Hak-soon at Seoul's Sejong Institute.
Even though [President] Bush has the political will to sort out the problem, Paik said the complexity of the issues meant the negotiations would take a long time.

If you have always dreamed of making your own motion time lapse video's but lacked endless funds to buy time lapse gear and were not great with electronics or programming then this is the Instructable for you.
My goal with this and all my instructables is to create a piece of equipment that doesn't cost the earth, is easy for someone else to impliment and is capable of competing with more professional offerings. In this instructable I have gone for slightly more expensive components in order to reduce the amount of experience required to follow it. With this instructable there is no need to solder (although you can reduce the cost slightly and purchase the Egoshield with some assembly required).
The Ustepper and Egoshield represent a large part of the overall cost of this instructable but keep in mind this is a quick change part as it is held to the motor by magnets and would allow quick change between one of my single axis time laspe rails and this project allowing more versatile use and increasing the value of this device.
I have been working with the guys at Ustepper to make my last time lapse rail instructable more accessible to people with no electronics or programming experience and they have come up with a cool add on to their Ustepper called the Egoshield. this is a plug in module that can be bought fully assembled and along with their Ustepper module can be used to create all sorts of motorised projects like this one.
some of the parts I have used are very specific and although I have included all of my 3D models you may find you have to modify them to suit your specific needs. and that being said it is also possible to scale the Dolly up.
The goal of this project was to create a motion time lapse rig that wasn't tied to a rail and could allow much greater movement albeit over relatively smooth surfaces. The main hurdles to over come were finding suitable wheels and finding a way to secure the camera to the rig to ensure it did not lens plant at any time. The wheels were easier to find than I expected after raiding my sons old Lego Technic kit I found several wheels that would work. I thought about creating the whole support for the camera from scratch and also using one of my existing tripods, however i found these had too large a foot print and being in the need of a small travel tripod i decided to search Amazon for one. I managed to find a perfect tripod as a travel tripod and as a tripod for my dolly and if you dont mind pink its even cheaper.
3D printed parts or wood alternative.
I decided to try and make the base from wood but my woodworking skills are practically non existent and having tried and failed in wood i decided to take the wood mock up and transfer the dimensions to a 3d model and print the parts out. I had to compromise and print the base in several parts due to the size limitations of my 3d printer. I then had to bolt the parts together as per the images above.
for power you could use any 12 to 24 volt power supply but given recent events with Lipo batteries in phones and hover boards it has become harder to get these power sources at a reasonable price from places like eBay etc due to the inability to post them via air mail. With this in mind I wanted to find an alternative cheap source of rechargeable high capacity power and for this I found that power tool batteries made a good choice and are readily available. I use Ozito rechargeable power tools already and it seemed an obvious choice to use one of these batteries so I designed an adaptor plate and use two crimp spade connectors to make a secure connection to the battery terminals. If you have an alternative 18 volt power tool battery available I recommend searching thingiverse as someone may have already designed a plate to suit your battery.
Before we can use the Ustepper to control the Dolly we will need to prepare it by uploading the code to it using a USB cable from you computer.
first of all open the Arduino IDE and click tools, Boards, Boards manager. search Ustepper and click the Ustepper board file and click install.
once we have the ability to program your Ustepper we need the code to program it with to do this we need to add the Ustepper and Egoshield time lapse library so..
again with the Arduino IDE open click Sketch, Include library, Manage libraries, and search ustepper we want to install the ustepper and egoShieldTimeLapse library.
now we just need to open the egoshield timelapse example so click File, Examples, and scroll down to egoshieldtimelapse, examples, timelapse this should open a new arduino window.
before uploading check the board type is set to Usepper and that the com port is set correctly in the tools menu. now click the upload button.
The guys at ustepper have included an option to allow the ustepper to safely control the camera's shutter but given the number of different trigger connectors for all the many brands and models of cameras you will need to source a lead from eBay etc specifically for your camera.
It needs to have a 2.5mm plug at one end and the correct plug at the other end to suit your camera.
to help with this I did a quick eBay search however its not exhaustive and you may need to refine it to get results specific to your camera but give me a poke and ill help as much as i can here.
once your connected its time to get out and take some epic motion time lapses. all operations are performed using the 4 button interface. Using the record button to open the time lapse menu you then use the left and right buttons to set the step distance and interval hitting record to confirm each setting and when you are ready hit play.
I have included the full PDF instruction manual for the time lapse function from ustepper as it goes into a little more detail on how to operate the controller.

Colombia to end anti-drug crop dusting amid health concerns


Today I walked the Chicago Loop with my friend Gail Walker and took in some of the locations on the Chicago Architecture Open House tour 2012. First stop was the Monroe Building at 104 South Michigan, which opened in 1912. J&J Arnaco acquired the property in 2007 and recently finished restoring it as a gem of Chicago architecture that once housed offices of Frank Lloyd Wright. The exquisite Pritzker Military Library is housed on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building overlooking Michigan and Monroe. I feel truly enlightened by this visit, especially because I have walked by this building so often and never imagined what a gem it was or the incredible library housed within. We also visited the Chicago Loop Synagogue at 16 South Clark and were bedazzled by this unique example of contemporary stained-glass liturgical art that was installed in 1961. The window is an intricate design of ancient Hebraic symbols whirring through the cosmos. The Hands of Peace sculpture hangs over the entrance.

Michel Aoun (bishop)
Michel Naim Aoun (Arabic: ميشال عون) (born 18 February 1935) is a Lebanese politician and former Lebanese Army Commander. He is the founder of the Free Patriotic Movement, over which he presided from 2005 to 2015.
From 22 September 1988 to 13 October 1990, shortly before the end of Lebanon's Civil War, Aoun served as Prime Minister of one of two rival governments contending for power at that time. He declared "The Liberation War" against the Syrian army forces on 14 March 1989. On 13 October 1990, the Syrian forces invaded Beirut, killing hundreds of unarmed soldiers and civilians. Aoun fled to the French Embassy in Beirut, and was later granted an escape to France. He returned to Lebanon on 7 May 2005, eleven days after the withdrawal of Syrian troops from the country. In 2006, as head of the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM), he signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Hezbollah, starting a major alliance that has remained ever since. Despite the bloody history with the regime of Hafez al-Assad, father of Bashar al-Assad, Aoun visited Syria in 2009.

Michel Aoun (born on June 2, 1959 in Damour, Lebanon) is the current Eparch of the Maronite Catholic Eparchy of Jbeil.
Michel Aoun received on 9 June 1984 his priestly ordination.
Pope Benedict XVI confirmed on 16 January 2012 his appointment as Eparch of Jbeil. Maronite Patriarch of Antioch, Cardinal Bechara Boutros al-Rahi, OMM, ordained him on 25 February 2012 to the episcopate. His co-consecrators were Samir Mazloum, retired Curial bishop of Antioch, and Paul Youssef Matar, Archeparch of Beirut. Aoun was introduced into the office on 26 February of the same year.
