VIA Board Unanimously Adopts $274M Operating Budget for FY23
04 Oct 2022VIA Board Unanimously Adopts $274M Operating Budget for FY23
Categorized News
Budget keeps fares low, plans for new projects, continued ridership growth
VIA Metropolitan Transit's Fiscal Year 2023 budget keeps the agency focused on improvements for mobility in San Antonio, with service adjustments and innovations, and advancing Keep San Antonio Moving (KSAM) projects, including two Advanced Rapid Transit corridors and two new VIA Link zones, designed to move more people faster and farther.
VIA's Board of Trustees unanimously approved the FY23 Operating Budget and Five-Year Capital Plan on Tuesday. The total consolidated budget in FY23 is $406.6 million ($274 million operating, $132.6M capital) with no fare increases. The new fiscal year begins October 1.
Work related to VIA's new Advanced Rapid Transit (ART) project—a hallmark of the plan—will continue with the North/South corridor from the San Antonio Airport, along San Pedro Avenue, through Downtown and south to the Missions area, and a second corridor connecting East to West with frequent, rapid service is being developed. The transformative project is the first in San Antonio to leverage federal dollars in the form of Capital Investment Grants and represents a key focus of VIA's year-over-year investment increases.
Various other projects and initiatives like VIA's NaviLens Wayfinding system for customers who are visually impaired are designed to significantly improve mobility for all San Antonians.
To support recovery and growth projected in the new fiscal year VIA will pursue a robust program of recruiting and retaining bus/van operators and mechanics. Hiring and referral bonuses will continue for drivers and fleet maintenance staff.
VIA's $748.4 million Five-Year Capital Plan (FY23-27) includes $499 million, or 67% of the total, to support KSAM. It will allow for the purchase of 17 Prímo buses, 50 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses, and 15 vans in FY23. From FY23-27 VIA will add 103 CNG buses and 139 vans. The remainder covers various facilities and other projects.
The FY23 budget was developed looking at a five-year planning horizon. Plan elements evaluated in building the budget include: the Board's strategic priorities; service levels; customer service improvements; capital requirements; available grant funding and other funding sources, including debt; operating expenses; and cash reserve requirements.

I see this happen lots of the time. Someone will pop into any of the venues I monitor and ask what I feel is a totally odd question about RoboHelp or Captivate. The question normally goes a lot like this.
Here's why I fiind the behavior is so odd. Probably in less time than it took to open the browser or E-Mail client, locate the venue or type the E-Mail address out and type the question, they could have just as easily tested their theory or wondering themselves. They would have been richer for the experience.
Do you fall into this category? If so, I invite you to leave a comment explaining why you operate that way. I suppose maybe you don't know. But if you do it would be cool to see why.
Note that I never mind answering forum posts or E-Mail messages to help out if I can. Actually, in many cases it has taught me something new about the product along the way. I love that.

I'll often check forums and ask moderators before I'll bumble around trying to hack something out myself. Some folks just aren't discovery learners. I've found this especially true with large/complex applications like RoboHelp and Captivate that have enormous feature sets and copious nooks and crannies for folks to get lost in. They figure it's easier to ask someone and focus on the 60% of the app they use all the time. Some folks just don't have that kind of curiosity or drive.
For me, I treat it as part of my learning/research to ask questions of experts like you. I like to read/devour everything I can find online before I attempt a solution so that I can execute as well-thought out and planned a solution as possible the first time.
Thanks for the reply Heath!
It is helpful to understand things from a different perspective.
Depending on the problem, I might post a question on the forum… but still continue trying to solve the problem for myself.
Plus I've learnt a lot from reading all the replies to other peoples problems.

Reflections on 2020: Growth, Slow Downs, and Surprises
Jan 10, 2021 | Podcast, Wise Women's Council
Last year my family and I didn't have childcare coverage for seven months. It was a long, tiring year, and we are starting 2021 in a similar place—we're home for ten days, without childcare, waiting for the days when we can go back to daycare. I wish that 2021 could magically, instantly be different and that I could snap my fingers for all of us to remove so much of the chaos and uncertainty in our lives. Frustratingly, it looks like the upcoming year will certainly be bringing its challenges our way. In this podcast, I'm doing a highlights reel of the last year, and I want to share some of the key moments from 2020 and the lessons gleaned from the year we had.
Raising Them: Gender Creative Parenting — Episode #174 with Dr. Kyl Myers
Oct 1, 2020 | Adventures, Courage, First Time Parenting, Podcast
The other day, I was reading an article on Time Magazine that I couldn't stop reading. Dr. Kyl Myers, an author, had written a long-form piece about gender, sex and parenting. Dr. Kyl Myers holds a PhD in sociology and studies and speaks about gender. Kyl is an award-winning educator and a globally recognized advocate for gender creative parenting. Since 2016, Kyl has been speaking and writing about gender creative parenting and using their own parenting story to help the world learn about and embrace a new type of childhood. Kyl Myers goes by "she" and "her" pronouns, as well as "they" and "them." Dr. Myers is the author of Raising Them: Our Adventure In Gender Creative Parenting. This is a fascinating conversation about parenting, gender, and what we can do as parents to help reduce gender violence, oppression against women and men, and create a more playful world.
Areas of Control: A Coaching Practice (Plus, Something To Look Forward To) — Episode #172
Sep 21, 2020 | Leadership, Podcast
In a year with a pandemic, wildfires, the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and more, it can be easy to fall into despair, sadness, or anger. Even if you're reading this years from now, things can go wrong—and they often do. People pass on, projects go under, businesses are forced to change. Part of the work of being human is reconciling with all that is beyond our control. Here's a practical exercise to understand what's within your control, and how to use it.

Consistency, Batching, and Productivity: Why I Take An August Sabbatical
Aug 4, 2020 | Everything, Less Is More, Podcast, Systems + Processes
A few years ago, when we first had children, my husband talked to his workplace about parental leave. He knew that while he'd like to be home during the first few weeks during and after the birth, he was also interested in being able to be around with his kids while they grew up. So, the summer after our first kid was born, he shifted his schedule to work from 8am to 4pm. From there, he advocated for taking a four-week leave every summer to spend time with his kids. We're not taking a full sabbatical this year because of the pandemic, but we will still push pause on a few things where we can.

Jul 28, 2020 | Everything, First Time Parenting, Podcast

Think of a difficult conversation that you are in the middle of, or one that you've recently had. Maybe it's onboarding a new team member, or working with a client.

You all have been asking to hear how other moms and small business owners are navigating the pandemic right now. I've been interviewing working parents about how they've been affected by the pandemic. Today we take a look at Caitlin Boland Aarab: she and her husband are both attorneys, and they own their own law firm in Great Falls, Montana. They have two kids at home and she's pregnant with their third kid. When everything shut down, the kids were sent home from school—but the courts weren't closed. Work was still in session.
Potty Training In A Pandemic? My Incomplete Notes (From Memory) — Episode #157
May 18, 2020 | Madness and Mayhem, Podcast, Toddlers
My friend has an almost-two-year old and she asked me "So when do I need to think about potty training?" Yeah, as though you needed anything else to consider in the pandemic. Well, I took a few minutes to brain dump everything I remembered about potty training in a quick dash Voxer message to her, all while doing dishes and cleaning up the boys' room in our house. We both thought that these might be useful memos for you, especially if you happen to be in a similar situation. Consider this an unofficial, scrappy overview of Potty Training that will help you do a good enough job … for now.

Stuck? Overwhelmed? Getting Out Of A Rut — Episode #156
May 17, 2020 | Business Breakthroughs, Podcast, Systems + Processes
How do you push the reset button—that ability to feel like you've had a fresh cup of coffee, a good night of sleep, and you're ready to go at work? While we're all clawing at sanity and sobbing quietly into our fourteenth cup of coffee, it's really hard to find the capacity to work and keep your head above water right now.

Let's Talk: A New Podcast With Sarah K Peck — Episode #155: An Announcement
May 15, 2020 | Podcast
So, you know when you're watching your favorite TV show, and you realize that the side-story of the show is quickly becoming it's own plot? That is happening to me right now, and after spending the last ten weeks podcasting from my stay-at-home orders in New York City, I realized that I may accidentally be starting a new podcast. One I'd love to introduce you to. Here's a brand-new podcast that I hope you'll join me on.
ASK SARAH #8: Side Hustles, Personal Branding, Exercise After Pregnancy
Apr 30, 2020 | Ask Sarah
Should you start a business on the side while you're employed full-time? What are the risks and complications—and are you obligated to let your employer know? This is a tricky question, and a lot depends state to state.

Morning Routine In A Pandemic — Episode #152
Apr 19, 2020 | Habit Change, Podcast

ACL Musicians Can Help You Get Your Kids To Sleep
Shanti Wintergate from Play Date on the Austin Kiddie Limits Stage
[Updated with info from Seth Goldstein from The Ohmies, after I found an email I had lost.]
Oh, so sad about the rain and no ACL Sunday. More sad for people with flooded homes and cars. ACL, I can't wait to meet up again next year. Now, on with the show.
For GrowingUpAustin interviews with Austin City Limits Festival (ACL) artists, I wanted to dig deeper, past the superficial questions about the band members' musical influences and their fascinating personal lives and ask about what is really important to Austin families.
Here is a compilation of the answers to the first question: "What is the best lullaby song ever that isn't a traditional lullaby?" Because, sometimes parents and kids really need a good lullaby. If you are on Spotify, here is the Playlist.
There were some traditional responses that are good to remember. We use both of these at our house.
Shanti Wintergate from Play Date – "You Are My Sunshine" (Play Date, by the way, is the first made-for-kids band that Sparkles has added to her disco playlist that includes Adele, Justin Bieber and songs from Grease. That is a pretty big deal around our house. That's why Shanti gets the cover photo for this post.) UPDATE: Sparkles just saw Shanti's picture and she says, "Shanti,I love you! I like your red dress and I love your music."
Rev. Sterling Lands II from The Warrior Gospel Band – "Amazing Grace" (The Blind Boys from Alabama did an amazing version of this at ACL on Saturday, here's a pic of that…)
Blind Boys from Alabama at the Zilker Tent
These songs are beautiful.
Gordy Quist from The Band of Heathens – Katie Belle Blue by Townes Van Zandt (Oh, these sweet words.)
Rick Silvestri from Andy Z and the Andyland Band – "Stay Awake" by Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins (Oh, this sweet music.)
Seth Goldstein from The Ohmies – "The Moonbeam Song" by Harry Nilsson (I could see this work.)
Andy Zamenes fr0m Andy Z and the Andyland Band – "Mother Nature's Son" by The Beatles (Not too bad.)
Elizabeth McQueen from Asleep at the Wheel – "Goodnight" by The Beatles (Oh my, sweet, sweet words and music. I'm sorry covers of the two Beatles' songs are on the playlist. The real Beatles aren't on Spotify yet. I chose the Casper Babypants version of "Goodnight" from Baby Beatles, because, coincidentally, he was playing at ACL and posed for this photo…)
Casper Babypants on the Austin Kiddie Limits stage
I'm not to sure about these. The music sounds like a lullaby, but the words are so sad. This would make a great breakup-recovery-playlist. I might still try "This Lullaby" and "Hobo's Lullaby," oh my, these melodies are so sweet.
Johnathan Terrell from Not In the Face – "This Lullaby" by Queens of the Stone Age (Queens of the Stone Age played at ACL, what is with this lullaby list + ACL 2013 connection?)
Greg Attonito from Play Date – "Pale Blue Eyes" by The Velvet Underground
Kevin Russell from Shiny Ribs – "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" by Al Green
Arlene Bell from Disciples for Christ – "I Love You More Today" by Conway Twitty
Ian Bevis from Bear Mountain – "Tuesday's Gone" by Lynard Skynard
Kevin Marks from JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound – "Hobo's Lullaby" by Woody Guthrie
These choices don't have sleepy music or sleepy words, but they are fun and that can be good too.
Brian Vander Ark from The Verve Pipe – "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus (Ironically, since Brian says this song always puts him to sleep.)
Rick Carney, Music Director for School of Rock – "Blitzkrieg Bop" by the Ramones (Not too sleepy and I might change a lyric somewhere in there, but it makes me smile.)
Tim Kubart from Tim and the Space Cadets – "Borderline" by Madonna (I don't know if you know this about me, but I don't like made-for-kids music very much. When I see music with my family, I like kid-friendly grown-up music better. But the shows by Tim Kubart and the Space Cadets with Mother Falcon on the Austin Kiddie Limits stage were AMAZING. There was no kid-friendly or adult-friendly line to be drawn, it was just high-energy, great-rhythm, crazy-dancing, smiles-on-every-face music. I heard a rumor that Tim and the Space Cadets from Brooklyn and Mother Falcon from Austin might join for another Austin show soon, one that costs less than $225. Stay tuned for more of this…)
Tim and the Space Cadets with Mother Falcon on the Austin Kiddie Limits Stage
Tobias Winkerton from Junip sings Swedish Christmas carols, wether it is Christmas or not. Kristen Geller from the Andy Z and the Andyland Band gets extra credit, because she composes original pieces with her child's name in it, which is pretty sweet. Scott Mills from CALEB said good lyrics and melody keep him awake, so he sometimes goes to sleep to "Med sud i' eyrum" by Sigur Ros, ambient music in a different language.
And, since everybody is sharing, I'll share an unusual lullaby from our house. Blue Eyes and I sing one song for each girl, when they are in their PJs and all snuggled in their covers with the lights off. When my teenage step-daughter Noel babysat, she didn't know the songs we usually sing, so she sang a song she knows all the words to, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. They call it "The Mama Song" and they sang it every Thursday night for a good long while. So, sometimes we are shopping at Target and Buttercup will start belting out "MAAAAMAAAAAAAA, just killed a man!" Yeah, it's not how they describe it in the parenting books, but it all works out somehow.
I'm going to try out the new lullaby songs this week. If y'all try some, let me know how it goes. And stay tuned for answers to Question #2 – If you met a teenage musician and she asked, "What is more important, to be inspired or to practice?", what would you tell her?

After several hard and exhausting weeks, classes are finally over. It is time to get back to writing.
Last Saturday the 22nd of March, I took part at the "Chinese Bridge" competition.
The Chinese Bridge Proficiency Competition is an international competition organized by the Chinese National Office for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language or short Hanban汉办, which is governed by the Office of Chinese Language Council International 中国国家汉语国际推广领导小组办公室, a non-profit organisation affiliated with the Ministry of Education of the PRC.
This annual event has been held since 2002 and it has attracted over 593 college students from 59 nations to participate in semi-finals and finals held in China. Over 500,000 students from all over the globe participated in the preliminary rounds.
The contents of the competition include Chinese language proficiency, knowledge about China, Chinese cultural skills and comprehensive learning abilities. Students who win the preliminary rounds will qualify to go to China for the finals. These students will also get scholarships to further their studies in China. While in China, they will have the opportunity to take part in many different cultural events.
There are two different categories, a competition for Middle School and High School students, and for university students. Obviously I took part at the latter.
I have to admit though, initially I refused to take part. Even though way back then when I started learning Chinese, I thought this as my goal; to take part at the international language competition. But years later, I have seen and heard a lot. There have been a lot of controversies around this competition. As Hugh Grigg in his blog post Why I refused to enter 汉语桥 (Chinese Bridge) points out, it seemed more like 'Foreigners Got Talent' than a real language competition.
But my Chinese teacher stayed persistent. Since January he kept on asking me to participate. I gave in and, honestly, I don't regret it.
Even though, the whole event still felt a bit like show casting foreigners who try to be stereotypically Chinese, I still gained a lot from it.
This competition is a great platform for international college students to learn the Chinese language and learn more about China. I have met a great number of interesting and amazing people. I have seen show acts which just blew my mind, never thought that the standard of the competition was so high. If I would have known, I might have prepared.
Yes, it is true, I started out because my teacher pushed me, but I am very grateful he did. I have enjoyed that event so much. That's why I recommend everyone who studies Chinese to go and try. Don't just listen to negative people, try for yourself. If you don't like it, at least you have the experience to strengthen your argument. And trust me, you will learn a lot. Not just about the Chinese language and culture, but also about yourself. And never forget, such events are a great platform for networking. Especially, if you get send to China to take part in the finals.
So, Chinese learners out there: Go for it!
Have you ever taken part at any language competition? What do you think? Do they help to improve language learning?
Chinese Cross-stitch 十字绣: It's not just for old people, you know?
haha thanks, but I am still having muscle pain in my legs. I haven't trained since last July, and never rehearsed that form. Totally improvised on the stage. Btw I nearly jumped off the stage because it was sooooo tiny!
haha but you really cant tell! it looks amazing!
Congratulations on taking part in the competition! Sounds like it was a really fulfilling experience for you. And Linda's right, you do look incredibly badass in that photo!
Wow that sounds really fun! I wish there was something like that for Japanese. Maybe there is and I just never found it, though. Was it like a quiz thing with a talent show portion, or how did you compete?
That would be cool – too bad I'm no longer a college student. D; Wow that's so interesting. What'd you give your speech about? What kind of things did they ask about in the questions?
Dialect differences would be so hard…at least you can rest easy knowing that's not your fault. You weren't 'wrong,' just different.
It sounds like a really fun competition!
Hey Buddy!, I found this information for you: ""Chinese Bridge" Competition – A perfect way to practice your Chinese". Here is the website link: http://chinaslostpanda.com/chinese-bridge-competition-a-perfect-way-to-practice-your-chinese/. Thank you.

Synonyms of Systemic Primary Carnitine Deficiency
carnitine transporter deficiency
carnitine uptake defect
carnitine uptake deficiency
CDSP
Summary Systemic primary carnitine deficiency (CDSP) is a rare metabolic disorder in which the body cannot properly process fats into energy. Carnitine functions to carry fatty acids obtained through diet to the energy centers in muscle cells (mitochondria). A deficiency of carnitine results in accumulation of fats in the liver, muscle, and heart. Symptoms of CDSP in infants can include poor feeding, tiredness, irritability and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) but CDSP can also present later in childhood with heart and muscle abnormalities. Some people with CDSP are diagnosed as adults and have mild or no symptoms. CDSP is caused by mutations in the SLC22A5 gene and inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic condition. Introduction CDSP is treatable by the daily use of L-carnitine supplements. Without early detection and treatment, an affected child may experience low blood sugar (hypoglycdemia), seizures, heart muscle weakness (cardiomyopathy) that can be life-threatening. Newborn screening is available for CDSP.
CDSP can present in three ways. Infants with the infantile metabolic (hepatic) type present in the first two years of life with episodes of irritability, tiredness and abnormal enlargement of the liver (hepatomegaly). Laboratory results show hypoglycemia with little to no ketones in urine (hypoketotic hypoglycemia), high levels of ammonia in the blood hyperammonemia), and elevated liver transaminases. Some children with the infantile presentation may also have symptoms of muscle disease.
Children with the childhood myopathic (cardiac) type usually present between ages two to four with heart disease (cardiomyopathy), low muscle tone (hypotonia), skeletal muscle weakness, and elevated serum creatine kinase.
The adulthood presentation of CDSP is much rarer and the most common symptom is fatigability.
CDSP is caused by mutations in the CLC22A5 gene, resulting in absent or dysfunctional OCTN2 protein. Normally, this protein functions to reabsorb carnitine in kidneys and transport carnitine inside cells. If the protein is absent or abnormal, there is a shortage of carnitine in cells. Carnitine functions to carry fatty acids obtained through diet to the energy centers in muscle cells (mitochondria). A deficiency of carnitine results in an inability to utilize fat leading to hypoglycemia and the accumulation of fats in the liver, muscle, and heart.
CDSP is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait. Recessive genetic disorders occur when an individual inherits two copies of an abnormal gene for the same trait, one from each parent. If an individual inherits one normal gene and one gene for the disease, the person will be a carrier for the disease but will not show symptoms. The risk for two carrier parents to both pass the altered gene and have an affected child is 25% with each pregnancy. The risk to have a child who is a carrier like the parents is 50% with each pregnancy. The chance for a child to receive normal genes from both parents is 25%. The risk is the same for males and females.
All individuals carry 4-5 abnormal genes. Parents who are close relatives (consanguineous) have a higher chance than unrelated parents to both carry the same abnormal gene, which increases the risk to have children with a recessive genetic disorder.
Affected Populations
CDSP is a rare disorder that affects males and females in equal numbers. Based on newborn screening and reports in medical literature, the prevalence in the US is estimated to be 1:50,000.
Related Disorders
Symptoms of the following disorders can be similar to those of systemic primary carnitine deficiency. Comparisons may be useful for a differential diagnosis:
Carnitine deficiency can occur as a result of other metabolic disorders (secondary carnitine deficiency) such as organic acidemias and fatty acid oxidation defects.
Isovaleric acidemia is a rare inherited metabolic disorder of infancy characterized by attacks of vomiting, lack of appetite, and fatigue. Infants with this disorder become progressively weak and often have abnormally low body temperatures (hypothermia). A strong offensive body odor is also associated with this disorder. (For more information on this disorder, choose "Isovaleric Acidemia" as your search term in the Rare Disease Database.)
Propionic acidemia is another form of organic acidemia that occurs in infancy. It is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC). The initial symptoms of propionic acidemia include failure to thrive, vomiting, and extreme fatigue. (For more information on this disorder, choose "Propionic Acidemia" as your search term in the Rare Disease Database.)
Plasma carnitine levels are extremely reduced in CDSP. The diagnosis can be confirmed with molecular genetic testing to identify mutations in the SLC22A5 gene. Newborn screening is available to detect low carnitine levels in infants with CDSP.
Standard Therapies
The main treatment for CDSP is L-carnitine supplementation, which is very effective if started before organ damage occurs. Hypoglycemic episodes associated with carnitine deficiency are treated with intravenous dextrose infusion or proper feeding and diet. Maintaining normal carnitine levels through supplementation and preventing hypoglycemia through frequent feeding and diet can prevent the metabolic, hepatic, cardiac, and muscular complications of CDSP.
Cardiomyopathy, if present, should be managed and treated by a cardiologist.

Three Arrested For Conspiring to Commit Burglary
Victorville Police File Photo (photo by Hugo C. Valdez, Victor Valley News)
VICTORVILLE,Calif:(VVNG.com)- Three suspects are behind bars after conspiring to commit burglary using a stolen credit card and other stolen personal information.
On Monday, August 22, 2016, at approximately 10:58 am, deputies were dispatched to a report of fraudulent use of a credit card. Deputy Dalton Hendrickson and Deputy Dave Romero of the Victor Valley Sheriff's Station responded and began an investigation which led them to the Hilton Garden Inn in Victorville.
Deputy Lauren Abernathy had been dispatched to a separate call of stolen mail and when deputies compared notes they believed the cases were related.
All 3 deputies, along with Deputy Jonathan Barmer, responded to the Hilton Garden Inn and found that a victim's card was currently being used to pay for a room at the hotel.
While at the hotel, deputies made contact with all three suspects identified as Russell Ryan Moore, 23, Kristin Ann Swanson, 24, and Kevin Allen Browder, 48.
Deputies located personal information belonging to numerous victims throughout the High Desert and Valley communities. Deputies also located stolen mail, narcotics and electronic equipment possibly belonging to other victims.
All 3 subjects in the hotel room, Moore, Swanson and Browder were arrested and booked at High Desert Detention Center on charges of conspiracy to commit crime and burglary. Each of the suspects are being held in lieu of $25,000 bail.
Anyone with information related to this incident, or anyone who may have a victim of mail theft, is asked to contact Deputy Dalton Hendrickson at the Victor Valley Sheriff's Station at (760) 552-6801. Persons who wish to remain anonymous may relay information through We-Tip at (800) 78-CRIME or wetip.com.

TAC Weiss Tasse Kombi seule
Conçu par Walter Gropius
Walter Gropius was born in Berlin in 1883 and died in Boston in 1969. He was co-founder of the Deutscher Werkbund and the spiritual father and director of the legendary Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau.
It could be said that Walter Gropius played a more important part in shaping 20th-century design than any other individual. His work marked the beginning of a new era in architecture and design. Gropius was awarded 30 honorary doctorates and was made an honorary member of countless universities and colleges, institutes and organisations.
His last, outstanding industrial buildings are the Rosenthal am Rothbühl porcelain factory in Selb (1965–1967) and the glassworks in Amberg (1967–1969). In his own words: "The Bauhaus is not an idea that sprang out of the head of a single individual, but an idea that sprang from a need."

The new owners of the Hacienda Hotel and Casino just announced their plans for renovating the property, which sits just outside Boulder City on U.S. 93.
Nevada Restaurant Services, which is better known as the owner of the Dotty's chain of bars and casinos, bought the property earlier this year.
The resort will be renamed the Hoover Dam Lodge, but that is just the start of the renovation which will include new restaurants, bars and gaming machines. Owners are also planning on updating the hotel rooms.
The resort will not be closed entirely during the construction; however, some areas will be closed periodically for renovation.The entire project is expected to take six months.
The Railroad Pass Hotel & Casino will officially unveil its new Watch & Wager Sports Lounge Thursday, August 22.
The grand opening celebration will be from 5 to 9 p.m. However, operations at the new sports book will start at August 15.
William Hill Race & Sports Book group will still provide the sports wagering service.
"We are excited to open an all new, completely renovated sports book at the Railroad Pass Hotel & Casino, and continue to present the best wagering product for residents of Henderson and Boulder City," William Hill United States CEO, Joe Asher said.
History and a sense of being different keep gambling out of Boulder City.
When she moved here in the 1980s, Carri Stevens was baffled.
This is Nevada, so where are all the casinos? she wondered.

What is BMI and how does it work?
BMI is an acronym for the term body mass index. It's a measurement of a person's body weight in relation to their height for all adults, irrespective of age and sex.
In 1985 the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommended that physicians adopt the BMI as an index of obesity. It has now become the standard formula to determine what is a healthy weight, underweight, overweight and obese. These weight categories are used to help assess a person's risk of obesity related diseases.
How does it work for adults?
You need to know your height and weight and input them into the standard BMI formula. BMI is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in metres (kg/m2).
Metric BMI formula
BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m)²
Imperial BMI formula
BMI = [Weight (lbs) / Height (inches)²] x 703
The imperial BMI formula uses a conversion factor of 703.
How does BMI work for children?
For children the relationship between weight classification and BMI varies with age and sex. Children's BMI measures are usually compared to a growth reference in order to determine a child's weight status.
Some factors, for example timing of puberty or ethnicity, can make the classification of children's BMI more complex. There are a number of different child growth references and associated thresholds. In the UK, we most often use the UK90 Growth Reference.
The link between BMI thresholds and future morbidity and mortality is weaker for children than for adults but evidence shows that children with a high BMI are more likely to have a high BMI in adulthood, and therefore a raised risk of future health problems.
How is BMI used?
BMI is a proxy measure of excess body fat. Doctors use BMI as a screening tool to signpost a person's weight category. A person with a high BMI indicates they may have high body fatness and an overweight or obese weight status with an increased risk of obesity related illnesses. BMI is not a diagnostic tool of an individual's body fatness or health so further tests are required.
BMI is the most commonly used measure for monitoring the prevalence of overweight and obesity at population level.
How are BMI levels interpreted?
BMI provides an indication of your health status. The BMI categories are:
Underweight = BMI<18.5
Normal weight = BMI 18.5–24.9
Overweight = BMI 25–29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or above
Why use BMI?
BMI is an easy and non-invasive method of accurately and consistently assessing excess body fat at a population level. Excess body fat is linked to a person's current and future morbidity. True measures of BMI are expensive or impractical and other proxy measures are more difficult to measure precisely.
BMI population data has been compiled on a worldwide scale.
Limitations of BMI
BMI has limitations. It may not be an accurate tool for assessing weight status at an individual level as it does not take into account a person's fitness and muscle mass, their ethnic origin, body shape, age and sex. It also doesn't provide an indication of body fat distribution.
At a population level these limitations are not seen as particularly important as they even out across large numbers of people.

About The Fryemont Inn
Your Historic Mountain Getaway
The beautiful bark-covered hotel was built in 1923 by timber baron Amos Frye, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Brown family — owners since 1982 — have lovingly preserved Frye's mountain getaway, maintaining the same rustic charm that's attracted guests to the mountain retreat for generations.
In the Fryemont's spacious lobby you'll find a huge stone fireplace, large enough to burn eight-foot logs — an ideal setting for mingling with old and new friends, playing games, watching the game in the TV corner, or just relaxing after a day in the outdoors.
Read More About the Lodge's History
Help yourself to a cup of coffee and take it through the French doors that lead to the rocking chair porch with its view of the Smoky Mountains. From the porch you can also glimpse the swimming pool nestled in a grove of hemlock, dogwood and poplar. And be sure to visit our gift shop for souvenirs of your stay in the mountains.
We have 37 cozy, chestnut paneled bedrooms in the main lodge with king, queen, and combinations; some rooms even connect — perfect for your family.
These details — the lustrous hardwood floors and furniture, the paneling, the native stone masonry — recall the graciousness of a bygone era and add to the Inn's remarkable aura of homeyness, along with the sincere North Carolina hospitality of the staff and owners."
— Alan Linn, The Los Angeles Times
Sue & George
In 1980, Sue and George were living in Atlanta. George was working for an international accounting firm and Sue was in property management. On a motorcycle trip up the Blue Ridge Parkway they found themselves in Bryson City. They sought out The Fryemont Inn which had been recommended by a friend. They loved it! The following year they brought their son, George. He loved it, too. In 1982, George saw an ad in the Wall Street Journal that advertised, "Country Inn, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, 40 rooms, swimming pool." They immediately thought it must be the Fryemont, and answered the ad. The rest is history!
Monica & George
George IV was 16 when his parents bought the Fryemont Inn. He was a junior in high school and played baseball and football at Swain County High School. He also waited tables and worked in the kitchen as a cook. In 1984 he enrolled in the University of Tennessee where he met his future wife, Monica. After graduating, they married in 1990 and returned to Bryson City. George took control of the restaurant–the dining room and kitchen. Monica took control of the hotel—the front desk and housekeeping. In 1993 they welcomed their first child, Tyler, and in 1999, Kathryn was born. Kathryn is now a Drama major at UNC Chapel Hill and Tyler is an accomplished musician. They both continue to work at the Fryemont Inn when time permits.

Will Immigrant Voters Sway 2020 Presidential Contest?
Opinions vary!
No wonder Hillary HATES the Electoral College—it dilutes the immigrant vote!
Of course Open Borders, Inc. is assuming that and at every corner of their movement they are driving the naturalization process and making it easy for the 'new Americans' to register to vote.
But, will the new voters turn out, and are they located in the right places?
Those are just some of the questions raised in a very informative piece at a Middle Eastern news outlet (MENAFN) entitled:
Immigrant voters stand in Trump's re-election path
Of course it is self-evident that the primary drive to flood the US with immigrants is to ultimately get them voting because at this point in time, a large majority will vote for the Dems.
Republican optimists think they can persuade a growing number who came here legally to support the rule of law, after all the legal immigrants did follow the law. However, that won't be nearly enough to counter what they fear is an anti-immigrant message from the President.
The Democrat Party message of free stuff is pretty persuasive as well!
But perhaps the most interesting nugget of information in here that I hadn't thought of (duh!), and explains the enormous hatred the Electoral College holds for Dems, is that most immigrants choose to live in states like New York and California that the Dems have already sown-up.
In other words, more immigrant voters in NY and CA won't change the Electoral map.
By encouraging more Democrat-voting immigrants to go to Texas, Georgia, Arizona and Florida (to name a few), they hope to get those states in line as well. Others to follow!
I guess that is why the US Refugee Program and its Leftwing resettlement agencies sought to bring the 'joys of diversity' to as many rural states and small towns as they could—so those refugees might someday be joined with other immigrants to change most of America.
Here is just some of the article you should read:
(MENAFN – Gulf Times) This is where a nation changes: a public school auditorium that moonlights as a veritable citizenship factory.
At the M O Campbell Educational Centre, where murals honouring the arts and sciences adorn the walls, US immigration officials routinely hold packed naturalisation ceremonies.
Immigrants approved for citizenship walk in, take the oath of allegiance, and walk out as Americans and as a small army of new voters.
'It will never, ever be easier to register than it is this morning, US district judge Keith P Ellison [NOT Minnesota Ellison—ed], who presided over a ceremony last month, told the 2,155 immigrants from more than 100 countries who had just taken their citizenship oaths.
'The record for registrations is 89% of those who are sworn in. … Let's see if we can break that record today.
Amish Soni, a 34-year-old radiologist from India holding a small American flag, was one of the 85% who registered to vote that morning, aided by a volunteer from the League of Women Voters. He 'definitely plans to vote in 2020, partly because he thinks the healthcare system should be fixed, but also: 'I'm not a big fan of Donald Trump. And he's far from the only one.
At ceremonies like these across the country, hundreds of thousands of immigrants are expected to receive their US citizenship and become eligible to vote before November 2020, gently reshaping and threatening the electoral path that President Donald Trump must thread to win re-election.
Over the last two decades, naturalised immigrants have grown into a force at the ballot box, with the US recently swearing in more than 700,000 foreign-born US citizens each year.
Surveys show that many of the new citizens are liberal-leaning, which is one of several demographic trends helping put some historically red states such as Texas, Arizona and Georgia closer to Democrats' reach.
Diego says they will come out in opposition to Trump: "A lot of folks are responding to the climate of fear and division and general intimidation against immigrant and refugee communities." You can be sure Diego and his pals are making sure that a climate of fear is sufficiently whipped-up!
According to data collected by the New Americans Campaign, a coalition of non-profits, almost a third of US immigrants hoping to naturalise this year were most interested in gaining the power to vote the 'top reason by far, said Melissa Rodgers, the director of programmes at the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, which runs the coalition.
Filing an application does not necessarily lead to naturalisation; the denial rate is usually about one in 10. Immigrant advocacy groups have complained that the Trump administration has allowed a backlog to pile up, putting some applicants at risk of missing the 2020 election.
Latino and Asian immigrants are particularly potent additions to the electorate, with turnout rates that are often five to eight percentage points higher than their natural-born counterparts, according to Census estimates.
At the presidential level, naturalised immigrants' voting power is largely diluted by the electoral college. New citizens most commonly settle in Democratic bastions such as California and New York, where their votes are not expected to affect the next presidential election.
Along with Texas, Florida is a key exception. The battleground state adds between 70,000 and 100,000 naturalised citizens each year, with more than 20,000 born in communist Cuba, a more conservative voter bloc that has helped Republicans maintain razor-thin majorities in the state.
There is much more here!
I am by no means an election strategist. What do you think?
I do know this: The take away message for at least this next Presidential election cycle should be—save the Electoral College—and you better VOTE!
Reminder! Almost every day there is new news at Refugee Resettlement Watch. Check it out!
Brazilian Man Arrested for Bank Fraud, used Dunkin Donuts Gift Cards
I'm continually amazed at the complexity of the scams many foreigners are using to rip-off Americans and America.
Stories similar to this one pass me by every day and I can't possibly post them all, but ones with a twist, like this one, are interesting and worth reporting.
Rarely are we rewarded with photos of the foreign fraudsters! Estefano Dall Anese Borlotti
In this case Estefano Dall Anese Borlotti, 35, is here illegally and according to one report on his arrest, he used a Brazilian passport to obtain a Florida drivers license—is that possible!
Can a person in the country apparently illegally (he is now being held on an immigration detainer) just willy-nilly get a drivers license?
Here is the bare outline of the scheme that enabled him to steal tens of thousands of dollars from New Hampshire banks.
Secret Service: Brazilian's bank data scheme hits Seacoast ATMs
PORTSMOUTH — A Secret Service agent's affidavit alleges a Brazilian man, with unnamed accomplices, were able to transfer stolen bank data onto Dunkin' Donuts gift cards they used to withdraw more than $100,000 from bank ATMs in Manchester, Barrington, Dover, Durham and Portsmouth.
The affidavit was filed with the U.S. District Court of New Hampshire by Special Agent Timothy Benitez on Oct. 24, leading to a warrant for the arrest of Estefano Dall Anese Borlotti, 35.
Miami, Florida, police records show Borlotti was arrested Thursday for unrelated charges alleging he "reincoded" stolen bank data onto credit cards and is being held there on $22,500 bail, as well as an immigration detainer.
The federal charges in New Hampshire allege Borlotti reincoded bank account information onto Dunkin' Donuts cards to withdraw cash at Federal Savings Bank locations in Barrington, Dover, Durham, Portsmouth and Rochester at different times in April and May.
The affidavit notes the Dunkin' Donuts cards contained "a wide variety of both United States and foreign" bank account information and were used to withdraw cash across the Seacoast, as well as in Brazil.
Miami, Florida, police records report Borlotti is being held there on charges alleging trafficking counterfeit credit cards, organized fraud and two counts of credit card forgery/intent to defraud. He's also being held on a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer, according to court records.
Read the whole story for more details on the scam.
And, see here where we learn about the drivers license:
Officials said Borlotti has a Brazilian passport, which he used to obtain a Florida driver's license.
Such clever foreign fraudsters among us!

Q: Runtime error while running a simple code in GCC compiler for C Following is the code:
#include <stdio.h>
void main ()
{
   int n1, n2, min, GCD, i;
   printf("Enter two nos. : ");
   scanf(" %d %d", &n1, &n2);
   min=(n1<n2)? n1: n2;
   for (i=0, i<min; ++i)
   {
      if(n1%i==0 && n2%i==0)
          GCD=i;
   }
    printf("GCD is %d", GCD);
}

Please point out the mistake which is causing runtime error.

A: The modulus operator % will be problem when i is equal to zero. There is no need to start with i = 1, every number is divisible by 1. Start with i = 2.
Also, you have a problem in the for loop, most likely due to a typo.
for (i=0, i<min; ++i)
       ^^^ That should be ;

Here's the loop with both fixes:
for (i=2; i<min; ++i)
{
   if(n1%i==0 && n2%i==0)
      GCD=i;
}

Other suggestions to improve your code:

*

*Change the return type of main to int. That' what the standard expects.

*Initialize GCD to 1 instead of leaving it uninitialized. You know that it has to be at least 1.

A:  for (i=0, i<min; ++i) is wrong syntax

 for (i=0; i<min; ++i) is correct syntax

(n1%i) is actually dividing by 0; this is the reason for runtime error
return type of main is int as per standard


White pine flooring a knotty, soft, porous, light color and inexpensive wood species. Found in new and old homes, commonly used in traditional interior design with polyurethane finishes. Now how has made ways into more modern interior styles, with lime washing and hard wax oil finishing techniques. Achieving a rustic, modern look without breaking the bank with this wood specie. Learn how to install these tongue and groove, wide plank flooring and get some finishing tips to give your old pine wood flooring a modern touch.
After you've prepared your sub-floor and had laid out your vapor barrier. Begin with a layout of your wide plank pine flooring. Move the flooring boards around until, you get your desired look.
Pre-cut your oversized end pieces for each row. Then cut the flooring boards to fit as you install them.
These pine flooring are stapled down, then faced nailed. The faced nails are nailed 6-8" apart, into the knotted areas, to keep them hidden. Carefully place nails in areas that will be less noticable.
With the hardwood floor installation complete, the pine flooring is now, ready for sanding and finishing.
The home owner's previous wood floors were damaged, from rot and from the house settling over the years. They chose white pine to maintain the old charm of the house.
Always, start from your longest wall to keep your floors parallel to your walls and straight throughout your home.
When making a transition to a different flooring material. Install a divider, like this one, to keep the surfaces at the same height. Keep the width the same as the door casing.
A matching pine flooring threshold was made for this doorway. You can make one by just beveling both sides at a 45 degree angle, leaving a 1/4" reveal at the base.
Use a reducer to go from one level to another. Hand planing the front edge into a curve, then finishing it off with a sander. The slightly rounded edge will hold more wood floor finish.
After sanding and applying three coats of oil-base Satin polyurethane, these floors are ready for move-in and foot traffic.
Stain layering with the combination of aniline dyes and wood stains will give you a unqiue look with highlights and vibrant colors.
For deep dark tones that a regular wood stain can't give you, add a layer of aniline dye.
Adding a medium stain such as Provincial will enhance the look of your pine floors.


As many as 129 Indians are among the 130 foreign students arrested for enrolling at a fake university allegedly to remain in the US. The Indian embassy in the US has opened a 24/7 hotline to assist 129 Indian students arrested by the American authorities in the "pay-and-stay" university visa scam, officials have said.
Federal investigators say, the students who took admission in the university knew that the university programme was illegal. Officials said all of them face deportation, besides being put under detention. A number of students have been put under some kind of house arrest with tracking device on their ankle, that prohibits them from moving out of a designated area in their neighbourhood.
Some friends and families of the detained Indian students are using Twitter seeking help from the Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj.
In New Delhi, Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said, "We are aware about this incident. We are ascertaining more details (through) our embassy in Washington and different consulates in the US...We have also mobilised the Indian community organisations in the US to extend all possible support to the Indian students who are affected by this incident."
On Thursday, the DHS shut down a website they had been created for the University of Farmington. The website tells affected students to contact their local office of Homeland Security Investigations, the ICE agency that did the undercover operation.
Meanwhile, the Indian Embassy here has appointed a nodal officer here to help the students in distress.

Energy source: Whether you choose gas dryers or an electric one will be based largely on what kind of hookup is available at the new dryer's location. Gas appliances usually cost slightly more initially, but tend to be more energy- efficient. A leading consumer affairs magazine estimates that a gas dryer costs 30 cents less per load to operate.
Capacity: Since manufacturers define capacity differently, one "extra large" dryer might not be the same as another.When choosing what dryer to buy, compare capacity using the cubic foot measurement. If your space is limited, stackable washer-dryer units are available.
When in doubt, err on the side of larger when choosing a dryer. More dryer capacity will allow the clothes to dry more quickly, which saves money on your energy bill and is better for the environment. Like most large appliances today, a dryer will last for years. Plan for the future and consider possible changes in your family size when buying a dryer.
Controls: As with washers, controls on dryers have become more sophisticated, yet easier to use. Digital displays and one-touch selection can be programmed and preset to meet your drying needs. For a simpler operation, choose dial or push-button controls.
Temperature settings: Different fabrics require different drying times and temperatures. Your clothes will look newer longer, plus have fewer wrinkles, if they are dried using the correct settings. At a minimum, most machines offer "cotton" and "permanent press" settings, with "more dry" and "less dry" options. Choose dryers with settings that meet your needs.
A cool-down cycle will keep the drum spinning for a certain amount of time after the clothes are dry in order to prevent wrinkling.
Noise level: Choose a quiet machine if it will be in or near a living area. Some newer models have additional insulation and reinforced frames to reduce operating noise.
Moisture sensors: While older dryers use thermostats or timers, newer models have moisture sensors that stop the cycle when the humidity in the drum falls below a certain level. This prevents over-drying and extends the life of your garments. This feature can also make ironing easier and save energy.
Drying rack: This feature allows you to dry heavier or bulkier items — such as canvas shoes — without tumbling.
Drum light: Socks and other small items can "disappear" in the back of the machine. A drum light makes it easier to find them.
Lint filter: Higher-end models have sensors that warn you when the lint filter is blocked. Whichever model you choose, make sure to vent the dryer properly and clean the lint filter regularly to avoid a risk of fire.


Midtown Eats at Sandbar, a Newport News restaurant, plans to add crowlers to its bar and has expanded to breakfast hours seven days a week.
Midtown Eats at Sandbar in Newport News is adding a crowler to its bar, allowing customers to take home their favorite craft brews in a can. Billy Blount, bar manager and buyer, said the crowler should be in place by the middle of the month.
The restaurant has 20 craft beers on tap, almost all of them from Hampton Roads or the surrounding region. Once the crowler is in place, guests can take home any of those beers in 32-ounce cans that will keep them fresher longer than in a glass growler.
Another benefit, he said, is that more beer sales at Midtown Eats would allow it to bring in new craft brews.
Speaking of Midtown Eats, that restaurant and Fairways BBQ and Grill at City Park — both operated by Mark Baldwin — are adding new morning repasts.
At Midtown Eats, it will be a traditional breakfast menu seven days a week starting at 8 a.m. The lunch menu also will be available during morning hours.
Fairways, at the City Park golf course, will offer a country brunch, served family-style and featuring "mason jar mimosas." The brunch is served from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
Veer Magazine's annual Golden Tap Awards for local breweries will be presented on Dec. 11 at O'Connor Brewing in Norfolk.
Doors open at 5 p.m. and awards begin at 6. Admission is free, and all proceeds from beer sales will benefit Hope House Foundation, which supports adults with developmental disabilities.
Gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded in 50 categories involving beers, breweries, restaurants and festivals.
The Grill at Great Bridge, operated in Chesapeake by Gary and Ann Pyle for 25 years, will close its doors for good on Dec. 22.
A small diner, it developed a loyal clientele with a simple, classic American menu with a Philly cheesesteak that won awards. The Pyles told The Virginian-Pilot that after a quarter-century, it was simply time to take a break and move on to other things.
Earlier this year, Pelon's Baja Grill, with locations in Norfolk and Virginia Beach, began bottling and selling the hot sauces that go on its signature fish tacos.
The sauce comes in three styles: habanero pineapple, picante and verde. Small bottles cost $6, larger ones are $8, and three small bottles can be packaged for $16.
Pelon's is at 738 W. 22nd St. in the Ghent section of Norfolk and at 3619 Pacific Ave. near the Oceanfront. A Richmond location closed this fall. For more information: pelonsbajagrill.com.

Q: How to limit the characters in the result of azure cognitive search I am using azure cognitive search and the search is applied on content which is huge. It searches the result correctly but we don't need the entire content. How can we get just 2-3 rows of the content with the matching string. Basically i don't want the full content but just few characters(50-100) around the matching searched string.
Need to understand if this feature is available?

A: The index will return what's on your fields. You can limit using a simple .Substring method either on front-end or back-end.

A: You can use the hit highlighting feature in Azure Search. Please see more information in the documentation here.
Azure Search returns up to five text fragments, which are usually sentences, that contains the search hits per field. It currently does not allow you to configure the size of the window/fragment so you can't get a specific number of words surrounding the search terms.

Student Mobilization
Worship Leaders Training
Craig Strickland Foundation
The Craig Strickland Foundation was established on December 27, 2016. This is a significant date due to December 27th being the one year anniversary of Craig's death.
By God's design and mysterious appointment, Craig Strickland was blessed with the ability to command the attention and influence the lives of others. Craig's passion and joy for life spilled over into everyone he met and became a source of encouragement and hope. The Craig Strickland Foundation will celebrate and honor Craig's legacy and invite others to share his excitement for life. The foundation is dedicated to helping young adults embrace the opportunities and leverage the talents God brings their way.
Craig used his life to encourage people. As a young adult, he was a founding member of Beyond the Game, a program that used the game of baseball as a means to share the love of Christ. He enjoyed a meaningful life with passion and a true desire to spread the gospel to everyone he met through every aspect of his life.
Once he taught himself to play the guitar, Craig spent many years as a worship leader. He was blessed with many hobbies and talents, and through these blessings was able to impact the lives of others. Craig's skills brought together the band Backroad Anthem. His optimism and hope convinced five of his musician friends to dedicate their lives to a vision of sharing their original music on the country music circuit.
He was an avid sportsman, musician, mentor, and fully engaged friend, brother, husband, and son. After spending Christmas 2015 with his bride of one year, Helen, and his family, Craig and a friend, Chase Morland, took his hunting dog, Sam, left Northwest Arkansas and traveled several hours to go duck hunting at Kaw Lake in Oklahoma. They knew the weather conditions the farther north and west they went were more ideal for the migrating ducks. The hunters were very excited. The next evening when there had been no communication with their families since arriving at the lake, law enforcement was contacted and a search began. Chase's body was discovered the next day. Craig's body was not recovered for another seven days.
"My friend's body was found today. He wasn't there. He's been enjoying glory. He's in the presence of His Savior. He's brilliant beyond our imagining because he accepted Jesus as his Savior years ago. His life will forever be a testimony…God was never caught off guard by this tragedy. God's plan for Craig Strickland was made up in eternity past. Every day of his life was one of grace. He loved beautifully. He lived passionately. He was made for more than this life, and the stage lights he flourished in are of no comparison to the blinding brilliance of Christ's presence in which he now worships." – Aaron Matthews, January 4, 2016

Q: Ruby: How to Install a Plugin in a Git Repository I'm not new to programming, but brand new to Ruby. Everything's working, but I'm still missing a key concept: how do you install a plugin and where/how do you include it in an app?
Example:
I'm trying to use the Facebooker2 plugin: https://github.com/mmangino/facebooker2. In the readme, step 1 is to "Install facebooker2 as a plugin in your rails app." I've run the command git clone https://github.com/mmangino/facebooker2.git to download a read only version of the repository.
Do I then bundle that up using Bundler, or do I need to create a gem file in some way? Do I simply
use gem to install it, or do I need to compile it into a gem?
Any help (terminal commands or otherwise) are extremely helpful.

A: I looked at the repo and it's set up as a gem.  You can simply add
gem 'facebooker2'

to your Gemfile (in the root of your project) and run
bundle install

to download it and add it to your list of installed gems, both in development and in production.
Rails used to include the concept of plugins (added to your /vendor/plugins directory) but that's been dropped in favor of gems.

A: If you're source is source 'https://rubygems.org' but the gem you need is specific to github and not part of the rubygems.org library, then you can add the git method to your gemfile. You can also select a specific branch version. For example, here I have the gem cancan being pulled from the github repository on the 2.0 branch.
gem "cancan", :git => "git://github.com/ryanb/cancan.git", :branch => "2.0"

Apologies for the Lifetime movie of the week title: Had I written "Activity-Based Costing – The secret joys of tracking every penny," I'm fairly certain you wouldn't be reading this. Too late now. You've started, might as well finish.
Yep, accounting is still boring.
However, it's still a powerful force to be reckoned with, especially in a mining realm. You've decided to modify a road network to separate haulage fleets from light vehicles: what is the final cost? You've initiated a project to improve the smoothness of the roads: how will you calculate the return on investment? Sure, the return (increase in productivity) can be measured via your fleet management system, but what about that pesky investment cost? To do that properly, activity-based costing comes in really handy.
First, figure out your cost basis. This can be a little tricky at first. Variables costs are fairly straightforward. Those are the direct costs incurred because of the activity that would not have been incurred had you not done that activity: the fuel you used, the labor you allocated, etc. Next are your fixed costs; costs you've incurred whether you do this activity or not, like all that equipment you've got lying around. Your accountant has probably already figured that out for you, giving you a cost per engine-hour. Lastly, you've got your overhead cost. Wikipedia defines these succinctly as costs "which cannot be conveniently traced to or identified with any particular cost unit"; things like your safety program, your security department, even your accountant (and likely you too, if you are a supervisor). Those need to be allocated across all the activities evenly.
Taken together, they form your cost basis. Don't worry too much about all of this, your accountant goes to sleep every night dreaming of doing this analysis. The key is loading them together in an easy way, so you can track your costs down to the specific contract or project.
HxGN MineEnterprise is that tool for you. Tracking the hours spent via either your fleet management system or our tablet-based apps, you can now easily track and report the activities of your mine at the click of a browser. Pretty cool right? Accounting is cool!? Wikipedia even informed me that the U.S. Marines use activity-based costing, and if you want to argue with a U.S. Marine, the best of luck to you.
I'd like to thank Wikipedia for making my life easier. Please donate to them when you get a chance. If you want to learn more about activity-based-costing and HxGN MineEnterprise to track your mine's costs, we'd love to discuss this with you.

Och Aye! It's Wee Jock McAye!
This is G-Mat 130 (AKA "Jock McAye"), a Nouveau Racer making her way north to the classy reefs and slabs of the Scottish North Coast.
Jock has been built for Steve Griffin, an ex-pat Welshman who it seems has a taste for heavy surf.
I love building mats for people like Steve. He is one of those highly experienced surfers who have given mats a go and really made the commitment to learn the art. In with both fins if you like!
So a bit more on Jock McAye. She is a 200/70 construction with positive rocker to help add a surety to turns in the pocket. Being built with glassy waves in mind, Steve has gone for a free-breather to enhance the sensitivity and responsiveness.
Steve has also opted for a Hestered valve to help to protect his boyish good looks (or that's what he said anyway). The grip is Puraflex 40 and the front corners have been covered to give that extra bit of security during duckdives, punchouts and maulings.
Steve has also gone for a cap and sweatshirt. Getting the design for these nailed nearly took as long planning the mat! Hopefully we'll get to see Steve modelling his new outfit.
I'm really looking forward to hearing about Steve's adventures with Jock McAye. This project has been a real pleasure.
