i spent the weekend celebrating my sorority sister 's wedding with my best friends from college.
let me tell you about these girls.
they are ridiculously beautiful (its borderline annoying), they are hilarious and smart and loud and awesome. they/we are each so different.
ali lou is the chill one who has no idea how gorgeous she is. lauren is far cooler than she realizes. jenna is always up for a good time and can pull you out of any slump. liz is fierce and will always remind you that you are too. cory is kind, she's the compassionate one that will listen and always have arms wide open. eru, oh eru – her naiveté is endearing and she can somehow make complicated things simple and you can't help but smile. jaclyn is a firecracker, who's not afraid to ask for what she wants and just brings infectious energy. schaar has a huge heart and is pretty much the best friend a girl can ask for after a night out.
we told each other everything. we annoyed each other. we defended and stood up for each other. we held each other's hair back, and borrowed clothes and gave ego boosts. for two years, we were each other's family.
i didnt realize how much i had been missing them until i saw them. it's one of those funny life things. there were so many times over the weekend when i would just look at one of them and think "well, that's eru" or just laugh because it was so jaclyn to say that. and my heart would hurt because our reunion was so fleeting.
you'll never have friends again like you do in college. or i won't at least. and i didn't realize that at the time. you live together, you see each other constantly, you do everything together. not that they aren't amazing, but i can go weeks without seeing some of my friends now. it was a different "knowing someone" than it is now. there just wasn't any hiding back then – you were exposed and they loved you anyway. and by you, i mean me. and that's something.
we lived in a house called foxden – at miami all the off-campus houses had names – 9 girls (if the landlord asks, it's 8), 7 (ish, more like 5/6) bedrooms, some mice for a time, a bit of mold, a LOT of hot sauce and bob marley (the fish, not the musician).
there were times when these girls drove me mad. it was tough – when you added boyfriends and friends and neighbors that slept on our couch – we were on top of each other – it was dirty – sometimes you just wanted to take a shower without three people coming in to pee and brush their teeth – but it was a once in a lifetime for two years.
and oh these girls pushed me. they made me better. they each gave me something they don't even realize.
it was so great having the gang back together again. like old times. watching jenna – little franzia – get her happily ever after and all of us just bursting with happiness for her.
now foxden, someone's gotta get married quick so we can do it again – and you know it ain't gonna be me. so get to it cory and jaclyn!
this is a recipe from giada – i put a bit of a healthy spin on it by swapping in greek yogurt for mayo.
i can't believe i spent years of my life not making chicken burgers. i feel bad for myself. i missed out on a whole lot of deliciousness.
roll each turkey patty into mixture, making sure the mayo mixture well covers the patty.
cook each patty, about 7-9 minutes each side.
spread butter on each side of a bun and toast until nice and brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Computational statistical mechanics of a confined, three-dimensional Coulomb gas
Sergio Davis, Jalaj Jain, Biswajit Bora
Facultad Ciencias Exactas
The thermodynamic properties of systems with long-range interactions present an ongoing challenge, from the point of view of both theory as well as computer simulation. In this paper we study a model system, a Coulomb gas confined inside a sphere, by using the Wang-Landau algorithm. We have computed the configurational density of states, the thermodynamic entropy, and the caloric curve, and compared with microcanonical Metropolis simulations, while showing how concepts such as the configurational inverse temperature can be used to understand some aspects of thermodynamic behavior. A dynamical multistability behavior is seen at low energies in microcanonical Monte Carlo simulations, suggesting that flat-histogram methods can in fact be useful and complementary alternatives to traditional Metropolis simulation in complex systems.

Q: Making a full height side Nav I am trying to put a navbar on the left which looks like this.
To do that I made all of the elements(html, body) 100%. Then I structured it like this
HTML:

Home

Profile

Messages

Home

Profile

Messages

CSS:
.leftmenu {
  margin-left: 0px;
  height: 100%;
}

.nav-tabs.nav-stacked {
  border-bottom: 0;
  height: 100%;
}

.ender {
  height: 100%;
}

.ender a {
  height: 100%;
}

The issue I'm having is that the navbar always goes past the bottom of the screen. I want to try and make it stretch jut to wherever the page ends. If I do it at 100% it goes past, and even if i make it something like 60% and it doesn't go to the end it still scrolls past the page. Has anyone made a good working side navbar setup that works with a top navbar as well or does anyone know what I can do to fix what i have?

A: I think you should show more html and css so that we can see more clearly what the issue is. However, height 100% doesn't take into account the border and padding of the parent elements. Try zero-ing these out for the body, and any other ascendant element of your navbar:
body {
    margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0;
}

There are other approaches though, such as enclosing your main content and the navbar in a wrapper element - make the wrapper stretch to the full height, give the navbar a transparent background so that the background of the wrapper-element shows through; or look-into faux-columns. alistapart

A: You should remove the height set on .ender and .endar a. They are forcing the height of your navbar to be greater than the window height. If you need .ender for a styling reason (e.g. it is containing some kind of background) then I would position it absolutely within the navbar, and not within the list.
So, remove:
.ender {
height: 100%;
}

.ender a {
height: 100%;
}

I would also remove the margin automatically set on the body tag.
Here is the code: JSfiddle

A: it's hard to tell exactly what the problem is without more information, but it seems like removing height:100% from all the elements you've listed except for .leftmenu, adding 100% to the html and body, and applying a reset would work.
ie:
* {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
}

html, body {
height: 100%;
}

.leftmenu {
height: 100%;
}

A: You might find this article interesting:
http://webdesign.about.com/od/csstutorials/f/set-css-height-100-percent.htm
In order for a div to be 100%, it's parents also need to be 100% in height.
Therefore, the other examples of
html, body, span2 {
   height:100%;
}

are correct.

A: Is this you are looking for..?

html, body {
  margin:0;
  padding: 0;
  height: 100%;
  overflow: hidden;
}

.leftmenu {
  width: 40%;
  margin-left: 0px;
  height: 100%;
  background: #f9f9f9;
  float: left;
}

.nav-tabs.nav-stacked {
  border-bottom: 0;
  height: 100%;
}

.ender {
  height: 100%;
}

.ender a {
  height: 100%;
}

.right-side {
  float: left;
  height: 100%;
  width: 60%;
}

Howard Stanley Rogers was born on 18 November 1841 at Unionville, CT. He was the son of Samuel Rogers and Cordelia Cowdery. Howard Stanley Rogers married Hannah Barber, daughter of Alson Barber and Hannah Humphrey, on 6 December 1865 at Canton, Hartford Co., CT. Howard Stanley Rogers died on 12 February 1894 at age 52.
Zopher Griffin was born on 7 January 1783 at East Granby, Hartford Co., CT. He was the son of Seth Griffin and Mary Brown.

You might not recognize her, but the woman at right is actually world famous actress Jennifer Lawrence.
The image is part of the "Hunger Games" and "Silver Linings Playbook" star's third ad campaign for the luxury brand Dior.
Though Lawrence is on the record as being appreciative of the Photoshop wizards who make her look better, it's sort of crazy just how far they went for the most recent ads.
Emily Leaman, writing for Philadelphia Magazine, described the ad as giving Lawrence a "bobble-head quality" by drastically slimming her shoulders without changing the size of her head.

Andrew John Procter (born 13 March 1983) is an English former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He made one appearance for the England C national team.

Career
The highlight of his career came on 28 April 2007 in a crucial League Two six-pointer with Macclesfield Town. Procter scored two goals in a 3–2 victory which secured Stanley's Football League status in their first season back after promotion from the Conference.

He studied at the University of Salford on a part-time basis for a degree in Physiotherapy, a programme he decided to follow after suffering a cruciate knee ligament injury in 2005.

Procter signed for Preston North End on 20 January 2012 and was announced captain on his arrival and he received a new two-year deal on 1 July 2012. He scored his first goal for the club against future club Bury in a Football League Trophy tie on 18 December 2012. After 23 league appearances, 17 of them coming from the bench he decided to cancel his contract via mutual consent with the Lilywhites after 18 months of service.

After a week without a club Procter joined Bury on a free transfer penning a two-year deal with the Shakers. In his first season at Bury he made 28 appearances in all competitions. In his second season at Bury he was put on the transfer list along with Ashley Grimes after being seen as surplus to requirements. On 1 September 2014, he had his contract cancelled because Procter wanted to leave Bury.

Procter rejoined Accrington Stanley on 1 September. He competed against the likes of Luke Joyce and Josh Windass in 2014–15 season.

Class of 2013 Bios
The first question one might be tempted to ask Bill Barker is what he has against football. An avid sportsman since high school, Barker ran track in high school, won awards for basketball in high school and college, played fast pitch softball for 25 years, and continues golfing five days a week.
After studying Physical Education and Math in college, as well as earning a credential in Special Education, he began his career at Rio Americano High School, where he coached junior varsity basketball. He went on to coach JV baseball and basketball at Campos Verdes Junior High School and San Juan High School respectively before moving to Del Oro High School in 1967. As the JV basketball coach there, his team won six league championships before he moved up to varsity coach in 1984.
Over the next eleven years, Del Oro's basketball team won three Sierra Foothill League championships, was Nor Cal runner-up three times, and won the section title in 1989. Besides being named SFL Coach of the Year three times, Barker was the Sacramento Kings Coach of the Year in 1989. One of his former players, Greg Hoffman, a stand-out guard at Sierra College who went on to play professionally in Australia, says it was the amount of time their coach was willing to spend with them and the dedication he showed in helping them to improve their game which resulted in their significant growth both "as basketball players and as young men."
It wasn't only in basketball, however, that Barker's team won accolades: serving as Del Oro's golf coach for 23 years, he led the squad to two SFL championships, and they were section champions and Nor Cal runner-up in 1990. In a coaching career that spanned 32 years, he coached basketball, baseball, women's track and golf. As Hoffman explains, it isn't only his basketball players who owe Coach Barker a great deal of gratitude, but the "hundreds of student athletes that came through his programs."
After 35 years teaching Math at Del Oro, Barker now enjoys camping with family and friends, as well as working with his wife in their grandchildren's classrooms. He continues to play golf but still no football.
Don Boyce was a busy guy long before he took up coaching. After earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics, he spent five years in the U.S. Air Force, ultimately being awarded the rank of Captain. During that time, he earned his California Teaching Credential and, after leaving the Air Force, his Master's in School Administration. However, it was his brief but stellar stint as women's basketball coach at Grant Union High School that earned him a place in the La Salle Club Coaches' Hall of Fame.
Though Boyce speaks humbly of his accomplishments, the team he led at Grant was one of the strongest women's basketball teams this area has ever seen. They won four Sac-Joaquin Section titles, two Nor Cal titles and were one game short of winning the state championship in the '82-'83 season. That year, his team was 36-1 for the season and 3-0 in Division I Nor Cal title games. Three of the young women he coached went on to play college basketball: Jackie Rogers at Oregon State, Deitra Hannibel as a starting point guard her freshman year at UCLA, and Teri Hunt, the Sacramento Bee's Player of the Year for 1983, who went on to break records at USF and become their first player to win West Coast Conference Player of the Year.
Boyce himself was Sacramento Bee Coach of the Year twice ('81-'82 and '82'-'83) and Sacramento Union Coach of the Year for the '82-'83 season. He was also the first coach in the area to win section titles at two different schools: Norte del Rio in 1982 and Grant in 1983.
Though his untimely exit from coaching at Grant caused outrage among players and the press, Boyce says it was ultimately a blessing, as it allowed him to enjoy raising his son who didn't have to compete for his attention with 15 other kids. After many years working as president and co-founder of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and 36 years of teaching, Boyce is now enjoying retirement, occupying himself with skiing, golf, tennis and guitar.
Long before Bob Christiansen became a championship coach, he was a powerhouse athlete. A First Team All-League and All-City in football and an Honorable Mention All-American at Reseda High School in the late '60s, Christiansen went on to make Second Team All-American and First Team All-Pacific Eight at UCLA. While in college, he was selected to play in the College All-Star game, the East-West Shrine game, the All-American Bowl, and the Coaches All-America Bowl. Not surprisingly, he was selected in the fifth round of the 1972 NFL draft by the Los Angeles Rams.
Luckily for Del Oro High School, Christiansen left pro-football after a few years and dedicated himself to teaching and coaching. In his 17-year coaching career at Del Oro, Christiansen helped guide the football team to four Sac-Joaquin Section titles and ten Sierra Foothill League championships. He was selected to coach two Optimist All-Star games and was named Sacramento Bee Co-Coach of the Year in 1994.
After over 30 years at Del Oro High School, he retired as its principal in 2009. Today, he is active in the Loomis Lions Club, plays golf, and enjoys traveling with his wife, Claudia, and spending time at their cabin in Truckee.
How does it feel to be the most hated man on the court? Dan Hooper can answer that question, having regularly displeased 50% of the people he encountered since 1966. After earning a degree in Elementary Education from Southern Oregon College, Hooper was encouraged to apply as a basketball official in 1966. Over the next 26 years, he officiated high school and junior college basketball games, inevitably developing a thick skin because, as he explains, those who don't "won't last long in this job."
Hooper's first varsity assignment was, coincidentally enough, a game between John F. Kennedy and Elk Grove, with Bill Cartwright on the floor and Dan Risley coaching from the sidelines. Hooper went on to officiate two state championship games and numerous post-season games. Considered one of the area's best referees, he was the first official inducted into the California Basketball Hall of Fame.
In 1992, Hooper merged his talents on the court with the office, becoming assistant to Jim Jorgensen at the Sacramento Association of Collegiate Officials. Eventually, in 1982, Hooper took over as owner of SACO and went from assigning officials at six schools in our area to 57 Division II colleges in California, Utah and Hawaii. With 114 programs, both men's and women's teams, he now has 330 officials on his roster.
After a 38-year teaching career, Hooper spends his free time hunting all manner of birds in California, Canada and Argentina and has attended the Indy 500 for the past 26 years, even managing to do a couple laps in a car himself. Luckily, no angry coaches were on the track at the time.
Having attended Sacramento High School, Sacramento City College and Sacramento State College, Mike Inchausti is undoubtedly a River City native. A baseball player himself in high school, he went on to major in Physical Education and earned his teaching credential in 1968. In 1972, he began coaching baseball at Luther Burbank High School, leading his team to the Metro League Championship in 1979 and earning the Metro Coach of the Year award that same year.
Coach Inchausti was popular with his players, and Gary Darling, long-time MLB umpire, remembers him as being truly caring and very fair, even to umpires. Darling says, "Coach did not allow us to ride the umpires too much," adding that that is something he still holds "dear to [his] heart."
Inchausti didn't limit his coaching only to baseball or to high school. He served as the Titans football team's defensive coordinator for several years and was the defensive coach for two Pig Bowls in 1987 and 1988. Not surprisingly, he coached Optimist All-Star baseball and football teams as well. Following a solid career at Luther Burbank, he went on to coach baseball at his alma mater, Sacramento High School, from 1990 to 1992.
After 35 years of teaching, Inchausti now enjoys spending time with his grandchildren, traveling around California, and cheering on the Sacramento River Cats.
Dan Risley had visited Elk Grove twice before accepting the position of basketball coach at Elk Grove High School in 1970. The culture shock he experienced came not as much from the rural location but from the prevailing lack of interest in the sport of basketball which, he explains, was just "something that happened between football and baseball." Leaving Mira Loma High School with an impressive 19-3 record as junior varsity coach, Risley was determined to put basketball on the map in Elk Grove – or, at the very least, outsell the wrestling matches.
According to Risley, the foundation of Elk Grove's basketball team from 1971-1974 consisted of three young men: Bill Cartwright, Mike Pinkerton and Terry Saufferer. All three of them, and indeed their teammates, were good athletes who were willing to work hard. And work hard they did, or else, as Mike Pinkerton explains, "they were gone" because the coach had high expectations and a "very disciplined team." Bill Cartwright adds that though they spent all their free time in the gym, their coach was always right there with them. He remembers very well how high Risley's expectations were but says that at the same time, "you knew he was on your side." He recalls how the coach would pick up his players to take them to the gym and that he worked "as hard or harder than anyone else." For Cartwright, Risley became much more than his basketball coach. "He did stuff no other coach would do," Cartwright says, like taking their practice gear home to wash so that it would be clean for them the next day and buying each team member his own ball. Risley opened his home to his players, and Cartwright admits that he probably ate as much at his coach's house as he did his own.
The high expectations and dedication to his players undoubtedly led to Risley's incredible accomplishments as coach of perhaps the greatest high school sports team in area history. As Pinkerton notes, Risley "took a program that was going nowhere" and turned it into one of the most talented in the United States in an amazingly short time. Under Dan Risley, the Elk Grove High School basketball team won the Metro League title every season for four years straight, was the #2 rated team in the state in the '73-'74 season with a record of 30-0, and #1 in the state for the '74-'75 season. In Risley's last year as coach, his team was rated #2 in the entire United States. Risley himself was named Metro League Coach of the Year three years in a row, Sacramento Coach of the Year twice, and California State Coach of the Year his last season.
Two of his players, Saufferer and Cartwright, went on to play college basketball, Saufferer at Northern Arizona and Cartwright at USF, where he was named All-American twice before eventually being drafted by the New York Knicks in 1979, the beginning of a 16-year NBA career. In a testament to their bond on- and off-court, Risley joined Cartwright at USF for two seasons as assistant coach. Having achieved more in five years than many do in 20, Risley ended his coaching career and dedicated himself to teaching American Government, retiring from Elk Grove High School after more than 30 years of service. In a long overdue admission, the La Salle Club welcomes Dan Risley into its Coaches' Hall of Fame.
As an all-around athlete herself, playing tennis in high school and basketball, softball, field hockey and golf in college, it was no surprise that Vera Vaccaro went on to a very successful coaching career. Having earned her Bachelor's degree at Sac State and her Master's at the University of LaVerne, Vaccaro returned to the Sacramento area to teach, receiving an Outstanding Teacher award in 1982 and eventually serving as principal at both Del Campo and Casa Robles high schools.
Though she coached a variety of sports at various schools, including assistant women's basketball coach at American River College, assistant softball coach at Sacramento City College, and tennis instructor at Sierra College, it was her years as the head coach for Mira Loma's softball team that illustrate her tremendous success. In 1985, she was named Sacramento Bee, Sacramento Union and Capitol Valley Conference Coach of the Year for softball after leading her team to win the North San Joaquin Division II championship. She again received the Coach of the Year award for the Capitol Valley Conference in 1987 and was the Sacramento Union Coach of the Year in 1989, the year the Mira Loma softball team won the Capitol Valley Conference title as well as the San Joaquin Valley Division I title. That same year, Vaccaro also helped lead American River College's women's basketball team to win the state championship.
Besides her long career as a high school and community college coach, she also served as the Police Olympics softball coach for several years, winning a number of medals both in Las Vegas and California.
Today, she enjoys playing golf and traveling and keeps herself busy as a reserve lieutenant in the Sacramento Sheriff's Department, a board member in the Carmichael Kiwanis Club, and advisor for the Del Campo High School Key Club.
There isn't much to be written about Jerry Weinstein that hasn't been written before. As fellow inductee Dan Hooper says, "Weinstein is a legend in Sacramento." This sentiment is echoed by Greg Vaughn, one of Weinstein's protégées at Sacramento City College and 14-year veteran MLB outfielder, who explains that "Jerry stamped his face on Sacramento baseball."
Though Weinstein has a long coaching history over the past 40 years, more than half of that time was spent here in Sacramento. In his 23 years at Sac City, he had a record of 831-208 while guiding the Panthers to 16 conference championships, two co-conference titles, a state title in 1988 and the national crown in 1998. He has served as both assistant and head coach for USA Olympic teams and has managed or coached a number of professional teams, most recently working as catching coach for the Colorado Rockies.
Weinstein's greatest strength may well be in his scholarship of the sport. Having written numerous publications on baseball, both practical and theoretical, published locally and nationally, his knowledge of the game is much esteemed. When Vaughn left Sacramento, he was amazed to find that no matter where he traveled, everyone seemed to know his former SCC coach. Vaughn credits Weinstein for his own knowledge of the game, knowledge he says helped him tremendously throughout his major league career. He says that among the many lessons he learned from Weinstein, one of the most important was to pay attention to detail "because little things lose the game."
Mark Wellendorf (CB '83), a teammate of Vaughn's at City College, now a firefighter and local cult-favorite musician, wrote a song about his former coach, a tongue-in-cheek lament of the demands of Weinstein and his coaching staff. In it, Wellendorf describes how Weinstein 'persuaded' his players to clean the field and encouraged them to be early, or, as the song goes, "If you're on time, it's great, but you'll be running long distances 'cause if you're not early you're late." Despite his demands – or perhaps because of them, it's obvious that Weinstein's players have a great deal of respect and affection for him, not only because of what he taught them but also how he treated them. As Vaughn remembers, "He treated his players with respect and never raised his voice."
A Coach of the Year recipient and Hall of Fame inductee several times over, Jerry Weinstein has earned his place among the greats in the La Salle Club Coaches' Hall of Fame.

Government of Alberta Website Opens in a new window
a YES to TMX.
In an important milestone for the country, the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion project received federal government approval for a second time. TMX is a critical project for Canada's economic future. It means thousands of good jobs for Canadians, billions in tax revenue for health and education, and opening new markets for one of Canada's greatest assets.
Alberta's Premier Kenney and Energy Minister Savage respond to TMX decision
LET'S GET IT BUILT.
This is just the beginning. While we welcome this decision by the federal government, approval is not completion. TMX has been through unprecedented levels of consultation and review over several years. The real test begins once we see shovels in the ground and real progress made. And success will only be measured once the oil starts flowing.
THERE'S STILL WORK TO DO.
The vast majority of Canadians support the TMX project. So do the majority of British Columbians, including First Nations. In spite of the growing support, the Premier of British Columbia continues to oppose it. We cannot accept any more obstructions to this vital national project. We need to continue our fight until the pipeline is built.
There is much more work ahead – but Canadians are up to the task.
THE FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER.
We know that we can't hang Canada's economic future on a single pipeline. We need to keep fighting for our energy industry. That means advocating for new pipelines and strengthening our opposition to Bill C-48, the ban on Alberta oil exports off the northwest coast, and to Bill C-69, the deeply flawed, anti-investment legislation that threatens national unity.

Dr Rachel Smith is a Lecturer and Research Councils UK (RCUK) Academic Fellow. She previously held a temporary Lectureship in Phonetics at the University of Cambridge (2003-6).
Dr Smith's research interests are in speech perception, phonetics (acoustic, linguistic and social), and psycholinguistics. Her approach to speech perception emphasises how the phonetic details of speech inform listeners simultaneously about the linguistic message, the speaker's personal and social attributes, and the interpersonal interaction that is unfolding. Her doctoral dissertation was on the role of phonetic detail in word segmentation, with special reference to perceptual learning of speaker-specific phonetic detail. Current work explores timing and rhythm variation across accents of English and its implications for perception and interaction (ESRC First Grant award on Timing in Accents of English , 2009-2011). She also researches how people learn to understand speech in new voices and accents (with R.-A. Knight, City University) and how such learning is affected by whether speech is experienced in live interaction, or recorded (with J. Stuart-Smith, Glasgow). Other projects concern the perception of phonetic cues to morphological structure (with S. Hawkins, Cambridge, and R. Baker, UCL); the phonetics of reduced discourse markers in Dutch (with M. Ernestus, Nijmegen); and phonetic aspects of the neurological condition synaesthesia, in which speech sounds can trigger unusual percepts of colours and textures (with D. Simmons and A. Moos, Glasgow).
Dr Smith's teaching interests are in phonetics, speech perception, psycholinguistics, research methods and statistics.
Dr Smith supervises at masters and doctoral level. She is available to supervise postgraduates in a range of areas within phonetics, especially experimental phonetics and speech perception. She also welcomes contact from prospective students interested in undertaking interdisciplinary work with a psycholinguistic element.

The materials for this experiment are available below as .zip archives of soundfiles in .wav or .mp3 format. There are ten directories, two for each of the five speakers, with dis- and mis- words separately. Each directory contains 100 utterances containing the critical words in each dialogue. The ten directories are available below as ten individual .zip archives of .wav files, or as a single .zip of .mp3 files.
Appendix 2 of the published paper lists these file names with the dialogue to which each applies, though without the speaker identifications and the repetition number.

City Aims to Eliminate Traffic Deaths by 2040
On Monday, July 11, the City released its draft Vision Zero Action Plan, which contains more than 50 actions aimed at eliminating traffic deaths and severe injuries heree by 2040.
The city is encouraging Community members to provide feedback on the plan by Aug. 6 by using an online survey, in-person and virtual public events and public comments to boards and commissions. The survey, event details, and more are at: www.AlamedaVisionZero.org.
To accomplish this the city has tapped into Vision Zero, an international movement that provides a framework for reducing traffic deaths and life-changing injuries to zero, while increasing safe, equitable mobility for all.
The plan addresses all collisions, whether people travel by motor vehicles, on bicycles, wheelchairs, or on foot. In November 2019, the City Council adopted a resolution establishing Vision Zero as the city's guiding principle for transportation planning, design, and maintenance.
The plan includes an analysis of 10 years of crash data, which found that an average of two people die, 10 suffer severe injuries and 220 are injured in Alameda crashes every year.
So far this year, the community has had two traffic fatalities, including the recent tragic death of a community member struck by a suspected intoxicated driver while walking across Lincoln Avenue.
The city's plan includes a high-injury-corridor map that shows the roadways with the highest density and severity of crashes from 2009-2018, highlighting streets like Park Street, Webster Street, and Lincoln Avenue.
The analysis also found that the top two dangerous behaviors associated with fatal and severe injury crashes were: failure to yield to a pedestrian and unsafe speeds.
Actions in the Plan
	Prioritize street safety investments on high injury corridors.
	Use the City's most current Socially Vulnerable Populations map to prioritize investments.
	Develop a citywide safety campaign.
	Focus enforcement on high injury corridors and against dangerous moving violations.
	Hosting a table at the Farmers' Market, 710 Haight Ave, this Saturday, July 17, from 9 to 11 a.m.
	In-person and Outdoor Open House, at Alameda Avenue and Park Street, this Saturday, July 17, 2 to 5 p.m.
	Virtual Public Forum, Via Zoom, next Wednesday, July 21, from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

7th Rangers: 'Sack Hishammuddin if LCS reports not declassified by Aug 16'
'Sack Hishammuddin if LCS reports not declassified by Aug 16'
Liew Chin Tong
Krabian : Sack him ? . . . forget it. Just like the MACC chief shares fiasco, if you sack him, the can of worms will be opened.
Malaysiakini : Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein should be sacked for insubordination if the reports on the littoral combat ships (LCS) project are not declassified by Aug 16, said former deputy defence minister Liew Chin Tong.
The cabinet proposed on Aug 9 to declassify a report prepared by the Committee on Procurement, Governance, and Finance chaired by former auditor-general Ambrin Buang.
They also proposed to declassify a report of a forensic audit on the LCS project carried out in 2019.
"If the reports are not declassified by the Defence Ministry by Tuesday, Aug 16, the prime minister should sack Hishammuddin for insubordination.
"These two reports and other relevant documents should be declassified," Liew (above) said in a statement posted on Facebook yesterday.
Other documents which should be declassified, he said, include a report by the Committee on Procurement, Governance, and Finance on the failed new generation patrol vessel (NGPV) project.

This is because it was revealed by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that part of the funds paid by the government for the LCS project was used to pay off bad debts from the NGPV project.
"The discussion of LCS would not be complete if facts from the NGPV project are not fully known to the public," Liew said.

Historical Fiction Author – Elisabeth Storrs
Historical Fiction, Research Tips & Techniques, Writing Process
Funny how we meet people these days. To tell the truth, I can't recall whether I met Elisabeth Storrs because of Twitter, Facebook or my blog. However at some point we were corresponding in that loose way social media enables us to and Elisabeth agreed to be interviewed. I'm honoured to have her on A Writer of History.
How did you journey from being corporate lawyer to writer of historical fiction? Why do you write historical fiction in particular? I am a bit of a nerd, really. I have always had a great love of myths and legends so I studied Ancient History, Latin and Ancient Greek because I liked the idea of being able to read the poetry of Homer and Virgil in their own language. However, when it came to deciding on a career, I was drawn to the idea of being a lawyer in a court room. In the end I chose to study a combined degree of Arts/Law. In that way I gained the benefits of an education that could provide both 'enlightenment' and a vocation.
Over the years, I've worked in various areas of the law but I've always retained my love of history and writing. Learning about ancient worlds fascinates me, and
writing about them is my way of escaping from the hassles of everyday life. Due to my interest in the classical world, it was natural for me to choose historical fiction as a way of merging those two interests.
What do you think attracts readers to historical fiction? And to such ancient times as those of The Wedding Shroud? Historical fiction is satisfying in so many ways. You are transported to another time and world that is completely different to your own. At the same time, you recognize that the emotions and passions that drive people's thoughts and actions have remained unchanged. An historical fiction reader craves knowledge as much as entertainment; whether delving deeper into well known history or being exposed to unfamiliar past times. The Wedding Shroud has a bit of both. Rome always holds allure because people are fascinated to understand how one tiny township could emerge to conquer and colonize the world. My novel takes the reader back to the nascent Republic and one of its earliest enemies, the Etruscans.
Do you have a particular approach to research and writing? The Etruscans are often dubbed 'mysterious' because very little of their own literature has survived other than remnants of ritual texts. Instead what we know about them comes from the accounts of their enemies (Greeks and Romans) and their funerary art. It took ten years to research and write The Wedding Shroud which is the first book in a trilogy. It has now taken a further two years to write the sequel, The Golden Dice. Throughout this time, historians have discovered more and more about Etruria through recent archaeological digs. In other words, the goal posts keep changing. As I continue my research I'm faced with the fact that hypotheses I read about ten years ago have changed. As a result I'm constantly re-examining my characters, descriptions and plot to take this into account.
I keep a colour coded card system while I'm researching and separate these into notes on general history, interesting details and ideas for plot and character. I particularly like to use art as an inspiration for episodes in my books. In fact, the novel was inspired after finding a photo of a C6th BC sarcophagus depicting a husband and wife embracing on a divan. I knew it was extremely unusual to commemorate women in funerary art during that period so I was intrigued to find out what society would portray both a man and a woman in such a sensuous pose. The answer led me to the Etruscans.
Have other writers of historical fiction influenced you and, if so, how have they influenced you? Mary Renault has influenced me enormously. I remember finding The Persian Boy in the library as a sheltered schoolgirl and being shocked. It traces the last years of Alexander the Great's life from the perspective of his eunuch, Bagoas. Quite apart from the eye opening story of homosexual love, I became totally absorbed in the lavish yet brutal world that Renault rendered through her elegant prose and intense imagery. I also admire Renault's great knowledge of the classical world and her courage to write about the realities of those times without the need to sanitise them.
What ingredients do you think make for a top historical fiction author? Excellent prose and the ability to weave, not impose, research throughout a book. I always admire historical novelists who instill a sense of place in their work rather than use history as a backdrop. I also like to read about complex characters whose motives and actions ring true to their times. And the plight of those characters also has to touch the reader in a compelling way. Dramatic tension is all important.
You are recently published. Can you tell us a bit about your publishing journey? I always wanted to be a novelist from a young age but it wasn't until I had my own children that I realised I needed to do something positive if I was to achieve my dream. So I set aside two hours to write every week by hiring a school kid to babysit my sons. As my boys grew older, I was able to find more time to write short stories and novels. Overall it took four years to complete the first version of The Wedding Shroud. Then after numerous rejections, I re-wrote it completely with a different style, voice and altered plot. Still no luck! It took another three years of editing before my agent managed to negotiate a contract for me with Pier 9 Murdoch Books.
What techniques do you employ to write productively? I set aside a time, date and place to write. I also try to block out social media during those periods.
Are you trying to develop a brand? If so, how would you describe it and how will you reinforce it? I'd never thought of establishing a 'brand' as such. I'd prefer to think I'm striving to gain a reputation for writing quality historical fiction that demonstrates a serious commitment to research. My books will have to speak for themselves in order to achieve this goal. I will be releasing The Golden Dice next year. I hope readers of The Wedding Shroud have felt engaged enough with my characters that they will want to read more.
What do you do to connect with readers? I am active on Twitter, Facebook and Goodreads although my favourite social medium is Twitter. It's like diving down the white rabbit's hole. I've connected with wonderful people there. My blog, Triclinium, is where I post interviews with other historical novelists on their sources of inspiration. I provide interesting details from my research there, too. I have also co-founded the Sydney Chapter of the Historical Novel Society which welcomes readers and writers to discuss historical fiction on our Facebook group. Feel free to join, it's not just for Australians!
What do you know about your readers? I am an Australian author but ironically my biggest readership seems to be in North America. From reviews and comments, I sense my readers enjoy exploring a relatively unknown ancient society. They also seem to appreciate that I have tried to establish authenticity through my research. The lack of 'black and white' characters seems to hold appeal as well. My protagonist, Caecilia, is not entirely likeable so readers need to be prepared to be patient with her journey.
What data do you collect about your readers? I don't collect data other than the number and geographical location of viewers to my blog. I also like to keep track of reviews. It's good to gain an insight into what readers liked or disliked about The Wedding Shroud so I can use the feedback to hopefully improve my writing.
What strategies guide your writing career? Strategy? Write more books!
Marketing and promotion is vital but it's the creation of a back list that helps an author retain a readership. This is particularly so given the brave new world of digital publishing. Instead of going out of print, a book can remain with its cover displayed on a virtual bookshelf for an indefinite period. This gives readers a chance to access an author's earlier novels after reading a current one.
What would you do differently if you were starting again? Another difficult question! Strangely enough I don't think I'd change how I approach writing a novel. Life is so hectic, I doubt there is any better way than making a date in your diary to write then actually putting pen to paper.
Do you have any advice for writers of historical fiction? Enjoy your research but don't let it dominate you. And follow the the 3 'P's of writing – passion, perseverance and most of all – practice!
Many thanks for your thoughtful responses, Elisabeth. You don't sound like a nerd at all! I admire your ability to dig so far back into history to tell the story of The Wedding Shroud and I think many readers will admire your determination to persevere on a ten year publishing journey. Such an accomplishment.
The Wedding Shroud – A Tale of Ancient Rome by Elisabeth Storrs.
In 406 BC, to seal a tenuous truce, the young Roman Caecilia is wedded to Vel Mastarna, an Etruscan nobleman from the city of Veii. The fledgling republic lies only twelve miles across the Tiber from its neighbour, but the cities are from opposing worlds so different are their customs and beliefs.
Leaving behind a righteous society, Caecilia is determined to remain true to Roman virtues while living among the sinful Etruscans. Instead she finds herself tempted by a mystical, hedonistic culture which offers pleasure and independence to women as well as a chance to persuade the gods to delay her destiny. Yet Mastarna and his people also hold dark secrets and, as war looms, Caecilia discovers that fate is not so easy to control and that she must finally choose where her allegiance lies.
Exploring themes of sexuality, destiny versus self-determination and tolerance versus prejudice, The Wedding Shroud is a novel that vividly captures a historical time and place while accenting the lives of women of the ancient world.
The Wedding Shroud is currently available to purchase on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008PHH7W4 or via Elisabeth Storrs' website http://www.elisabethstorrs.com/buybooks.html .

By Arielle Zionts / Rapid City Journal on Feb 9, 2019 at 6:36 p.m.
ROCKERVILLE, S.D. — By the end of the weekend, 14 dogs with five different specialties will have searched for the girl who ran away from a residential youth home in rural Pennington County last Sunday, Feb. 3.
Working with dogs is "truly a team effort," said Tammy Stadel, a dog handler and the team leader of Pennington County Search and Rescue.
Seven dogs specializing in tracking, trailing, air scent, and/or urban and wilderness search looked for 9-year-old Serenity Dennard last Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Friday, Stadel said. The weather was too cold and dangerous on Wednesday and Thursday, and Dennard was already presumed dead by Tuesday night if she spent her time in the woods.
This weekend, seven new dogs from four states that specialize in finding both live and dead scents will search for Dennard, said Willie Whelchel, chief deputy at the Pennington County Sheriff's Office. Two each are coming from South Dakota, Wyoming and Iowa, and one is coming from Colorado.
The canines, along with their handlers and a group of four or five search and rescue personnel, will leave at 7:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday from the Black Hills Children's Home near Rockerville, Whelchel said. A helicopter and 35-40 search and rescue volunteers will also be on hand.
Four different kinds of search and rescue dogs were represented within the first group of dogs: tracking, trailing, air scent, and urban and wilderness search dogs.
Tracking, trailing and air scent dogs are given an article of clothing or item with the scent of the missing person, Stadel said. Tracking dogs "follow footstep to footstep" of where a missing person went, and the dogs follow the person's scent in ground disturbances such as footsteps, overturned leaves and fallen trees.
Trailing dogs follow the scent that sits on top of the ground, Stadel said. She said they work best on existing trails. Air scent dogs follow the person's scent in the air by starting downwind and walking into the wind.
Urban and wilderness search and rescue dogs don't work off a specific scent. Instead, they are looking for the scent of any living person, Stadel said.
Urban search and rescue dogs are often used to search for survivors after building collapses, such as during the September 11 attack.
Belgian malinois, German shepherd, collie, golden retriever, labrador and other dogs with longer snouts make good search and rescue dogs since they have more scent receptors, Stadel said.
She said said rain can wash scent away while snow can blanket the smell. "Bitter cold" weather creates smaller scent molecules, which means the smell doesn't travel as far or smell as strong.
The dogs, sometimes wearing boots and vests, go out with four or five handlers and can last different amounts of time, depending on their size or how fast they work. Tango the Australian shepherd "can go for hours," Stadel said of one of PCSR's rescue dogs.
"We can kind of judge and see how they're doing" and when they need a break, she said.
Search and rescue dogs begin training when they are around six months old, but must practice their skills at least once a week for the rest of their working lives, Stadel said.
"It is a very time-consuming task," she said.
When puppies begin training, they are given the scent of a person who is hiding close by. Once they find the person, they are given a reward.
"It's like hide and seek for the dogs," Stadel said.
The people are then hidden further and further away, and on more difficult trails.
The new dogs are cadaver, or human remains detection, dogs, and are trained to search for the scent of a dead person. To train, the dogs practice with "true cadaver material," such as a piece of bone, burnt flesh or a leg soaked in blood, that are buried under ground, Stadel said. The remains come from people who volunteered to have their bodies donated and are procured through a medical director.
These kinds of dogs were used to locate people who died in the November 2018 Camp Fire, California's deadliest wildfire.
Whelchel said avalanche dogs weren't available this weekend, but they may come later if necessary. The avalanche dogs work similar to air scent or urban/wilderness search dogs except "they're looking for any human scent that's underneath the snow," Stadel said.
To train avalanche dogs, trainers bury someone underneath the snow but make sure to create an air pocket for them so they can breath, she said. Rescuers use poles to help feel for avalanche survivors and the holes created by the poles also help aerate the snow so the dogs can smell better.


This has to be one of the most beautiful places in all of Delhi.
A huge artificial lake, the Hauz Khas monuments on one side, large open parks all around. People with cameras, artists with their canvases, children with their cricket bats, laughter therapy groups, people doing yoga, lovers holding hands, you name it… its all there at the lake.
A gentle early morning walk around the lake is quite enough to calm your senses.
The lake is also host to a number of bird species (both resident and migratory). Right from the tiny tailor birds to the raptors to the ducks, the Hauz Khas lake has plenty to offer.
The kingfisher just sat and posed for such a long time, that I had all the time to observe, wait for the right angles (when the sun would shine in its eyes) and click. While the Woodpecker and the Coppersmith Barbet were the more pricey ones who kept disappearing behind the trees.
This is the Hauz Khas Lake in South Delhi.
It can be approached from either Hauz Khas village side which is behind Green Park and SDA or from Africa Avenue side.
For photography, head out there early morning or around 4PM and you will get a lot of great shots.
Also, the lake sees a lot of winter migratory birds which usually start arriving around late October/early november.
